DARIEN's BOYS IN SAVANNAH.
The Friendship of the Two Cities
Stronger Than Hver.

ObrOnBeF nan BNef.
DARIEN, GA, June 12.-The Da-
rien people are in love, all over
again, with Savannah, and with one voice
tell their appreciation Of her hospitality to
''the flower of the fiock"-the Darien Fire
Company. From henceiorth we are hers
to command, and the Bartows, especially,
will ever find ''our door ON the latch with
the string outside" Those belonging to
the cOmpany-the poor couldn't get
aWays"-dev0ured the Savannah papers
from the word ''go." Our copy of the
NEWS was soon so limp and thin we could
scarcely hold it to read, after a certain
fireman had learned by heart and shown
all around what ''our boys" were going to
do, where they would show off and how
they were treated, what Savannah said
and did and intended about them. They
had the ''Lester'' out yesterday afternoon.
and they declare that some steps shall be
taken to prevent wet wood in future.
That was the only damper to the perfect
enjoyment of the splendid programme.
The rector and his family accept an in
vitation to Sapelo this week, we hear, and
services at st. Andrews, on the Ridge.

High mass was celebrated at the little

morning last, with Miss Ida O'Byrne. of

was much cOmplimented, and the service
greatly enjoyed by all who participated
therein.

The Navy Yards.
Washington Special, 1ItA.


Some surprise is exhibited because of
the Secretary of the Navy acting in the
matter of the closing up Of certain navy
yards at Concord, New Hampshire.
instead of at the seat of government,
The Secretary is now at Concord
looking after his own personal in
terests in connection with the elec-
tion of United States Senators by the
New Hampshire Legislature, and the
wonder might be that he took the time to
consider the affairs of the government at
this juncture, except that it is suspected
here he did this to avoid the pressure that
would inevitably be brought to bear ON
him at Washington to overruIe some
Of the recommendations of the com
mission. AS it is, dissatisfaction is
already evident ON the part of some
of those interested, and representations
to induce him to reconsider are
sure to be made on his return here. and
his action at Concord will not relieve him
from importantly, 1t will be to the credit
of the Secretary, however, if he adheres
to the decision which be has made, for Che
recommendations of the commission which

of economy and proper reduction of use

mental to the interests of the government

Invasion of the Holy Land.
London RdilaOdy Meas.

The latest proposition Is to build mari
time canal through Palestine, and an
English company, with the Duke of Marl-
borough at its head, has been formed for
the purpose of making investigations and
preliminary surveys. So far as at pres
ent proposed, the work will include. in
the hrst instance, a canal TWENTY-FIVE
miles in length, from Jotfa, in the Bay of
Acre, through the plain of Abstraction to
the valley of the river Jordan. The denfh
of the proposed canal is TO be forty feet
and its width two hundred feet.
This work will bring the Mediter-
ranean into the heart of Palestine.
aud go far toward making a seaport
OF Jerusalem. 1t is further proposed TO
construct canal twenty miles ia length
from the head-of the Gplf OF Akaboah to
the Dead Sea, and thus unite the waters
of the latter with the Red Sea. If these
things were successfully performed it is
expected that an inland sea, about 300
miles long, varying in width from three to
ten miles, and deep enough 10 float ves-
sells OF the largest size, would extend
from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.
fhere are some matters besides engineer
ing difficulties which may hinder tie exc
cution of this project. The consent of the
Porte is indispensable, and certain
European powers would undoubtedly
oppose the granting of tirman
comforting upon England the exclu-
sive right of way by water through Pal
estine. The Holy Land also has sacred
associations for Christians throughout
the world, and widespread sentiment
among all churches and sects would
doubtless be raised in opposition TO the
innovation. Speaking of this particular
project, the London Times SAYS: at is
possible that the new enterprise NAV he

men and women to be the fal1liment of

AN AMERICAN OUTwITTED.


A Schooner and Her Cargo of Contra
band Munitions Captured in Ecuador.
PANAMA, June 13.-The American
schooner Qunalaski recently arrived at
Acajutla with a load of munitions of war,
shipped by j. Cutie, of San Francisco,
for revolutionary purposes. On landing
the Captain was joyfully received by the
authorities, who declared themselves to
be rebels, and the arms were at once un-
loaded. When 1000 rifles, 400 cases of
cartridges, two cases of sabres,
and ten cases of bayonets had been dis
embarked, the Captain Yas informed
that there was revolution III tile coun-
try and that his vessel and cargo were
seized, and he and his crew prisoners.
He was furious at being thus trapped,
but his rage was unavailing. The arms
are now in the service of the regularly ap-
pointed constitutional government, of
which President Zuldmar is the head.

Further Details of the Crime and Ar
rest of Dire1y.
CINCINNATI, June 13.-Publication is
made here to-day of the arrest on Monday
afternoon at Columbus, Ohio, of William
Direly, negro, charged with the murder
of the Gibbons children, at Ashland, KY,
on December "a, 1881. The arrest of
Direly is upon a long tracing of circum-
stantial evidence in connection with
statements made by Direly himself, and
leave no doubt as to his being the real
murderer.
Mamie and Robbie Gibbons and Emma
Carr were found dead in burning house.
The girls had been outraged. Three men
were arrested-GeOrge Ellis, William
Neal and Ellis Craft. Ellis made a con-
fession, upon which he was convicted and
sentenced to be hung, but was hung by
mob. Neal and Craft were also sentenced
to death, and now await the decision of
the Governor as to the day of the eXecu-
ton.
A Catlettsburg KY. special says: ''Wm.
Direly was arrested in Columbus and
brought here by Detective Burnett. He
denies all knowledge of the Gibbons mur-
der, and says that he never made a con-
fession, The arrest is regarded here as
an effort to save Craft. Good counsel will
defend him.

PLEASANT'S FIGHT OVER.
THE OFFICE AT THIS PLACE TO
BE ABOLISHED.

Georgia to be Consolidated Into One
District, With Headquarters at At

vice-Other News Notes Wired from
Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-There is a new
turn in the Savannah Internal Revenue
CollectOrship matters. Collector Pleas
ant need not be at any trouble to
try and strengthen his bond or to
make new one. Those who are
after his place can also take a rest.
The whole business will very likely be
settled by the abolition of Collector Pleas
ants office. In the scheme for the con-
solidation of the Internal Revenue dis
tricts, which Secretary Folger has sub
mltted TO the President. it is recommended
that the two districts in Georgia be made
one, and that the Collector of Internal
Revenue at Atlanta, Walker johnson, be
designated to run the whole system. This
is how the trouble over the Savannah
COllectOrship will be settled. Secretary
Folger said to-day to the NEWS cores
pondent that he did not recommend the
consolidation in order to get rid of the
savannah fight, but in the interest of
public economy. There is no doubt but
that President Arthur will approve Sec
retary Folger's views on the subject.
The order suspending Golen Green, of
Jackson, Tenn, from practice before the
Treasury Department has been rescinded.
The comparative statement prepared at
the Treasury Department shows that the
revenues of the government for the first
eleven months of the fiscal year 1888 has
decreased 81, $40. 1t is estimated that
the decrease for the year will be about
$1O,000,00

The Brunswick and Western Extension,
Columbus is excited over the prospects
of being reached by the Brunswick and
Western Railroad. The chief engineer of
the road was in that city Tuesday and
was interviewed upon the matter. He
stated that the road would certainly be
extended, and if the route from Albany to
Columbus was found to be satisfactory it
would be followed without doubt, The
Lumpkin Independent is in receipt of a
letter in regard to the work, and learns
''that the Erlanger syndicate, the present
owners of the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad, had definitely determined
to extend their line of railroad
from Albany to Columbus. They
have finally abandoned the idea
of extending their road to Selma,
Ala, by way of Eufaula, and have deter
mined on the Columbus route. The pur-
pose is to leave the old grade from Albany
and Cuthbert to the south, and to run to
the west of Palmyra to Wards Station.
thence to Columbus via Lumpkin. The
engineer is surveying for the bridge across
the Flint river, and as soon as this was
done be will go (this week. to Columbus
and start the survey from that point to
