Darien and the sesqui.

Darien Timber Gazette: 'Darien, ac-
cording to our recollection, was settled
the year after Savannah, but by an en-
tirely different population. In the Occu-
pancy of Georgia General Oglethorpe, the
Board Of Trustees and the British Gov
eminent, under which he acted, were in
fiuenced by two distinct and entirely diff
ferent motives. The first was one of pure
philanthropy, namely: the furnishing of
homes in a new country to many respecta-
bic though unfortunate persons, anguish
ing away their lives in English prisons
which they could never pay. Of
this class the original population of
Savannah was largely composed. The
other motive in the settlement of Georgia
was the establishment of a military colo
nv. as a secure bulwark against Spanish
aggressions upon the Carolinas. And for
this purpose General Oglethorpe selected
from the clans Mcintosh, Mcdonald, and
others, the bold and adventurous spirits
who founded the military settlements of
Darien and Frederick. The latter place
is thing Of the past, But Darieh has
held its own, and there are many descen-
dapts of these high spirited clans, living
today in Mcintosh county, whom the
HanOyerian Government was only too
clad to see abandon the cause of the eX-
lied Stuarts and depart forever from the
shores Of Scotland. Whatever there was
of the romance Oh history in the material
out of which the early settlers OF Georgia
was composed certainly clustered around
these adventurous ScOtchmen. Recall
the heroic career Of Brigadier Meln-
tosh and other iilustriOus men of
that name, the massacre of Glencoe
and the devotion of Flora Melon
aid, in the old world, and in the
new the sieges Of st. Augustine and
Frederick, the battle of Bloody Marsh
and the scouts and hardships "on wild
Altamas' banks" in Georgia, and the
paIln must be awarded to OglethOrpe's
highland regiments for all that is stirring
and chiYalric in that epoch of our history.
We don't know what will be the pro-
gramme on the day the Sayannahians cell
citrate. There has been no sort of recog-
milton of Darien, official or otherwise, that
we know of, as a contemporary settle
ment. We haze thought it would have
been good idea, however, on that occa-
sion, not only to have Oglethorpe and
Tomochichi reproduced, but also
some native Sayannahians in old time
English tights and buckle shoes, Salzbur-
gers from Eflingham county in many
breaches and broad hats, and the descend
ants Of the Highlanders of Mcintosh, in
their bonnets and kits without any
"breeks'' whatever. But if our proud
fellow citizens of GeOrgia's great seaport
are ashamed of little Darien and the

s.. stenban,s uoue for the Aged.


Editor Morning Neles: In justice to
our former masters we can only say that
they have truly done their duty towards
lifting up our race by education, and IN
every respect to advance our people,
and now we have a glorious work
before US. Cur race since the war
has made a history; history which
will be task for some of our cultured
colOred scholars to write-and If they write
the truth, they can only say that the whites
of the South have been the true and tired
friends of the negro. 1t is true
we voted against them in
the past, and did every
thing to place their homes in the hands
of strangers, but they have never refused
to aid us in the hour of distress. A gen.
tleman said: ''When | give for the cause
of the Stephens Home, it will be some
thing worthy to be given" They do not
forget the faithful old nurses who attended
their footsteps and the servants OF the
past. We desire to purchase the site Tor
the building, which will cost eighteen
hundred dollars. We have raised by sub
scription in ten days four hundred dollars
three hundred and ninety dollars In
drafts and ten dollars in cash.
Among those who have contributed to
our cause are Captain RaOul, President OF
the Central Railroad Bank, Captain A. A.
Winn, A. Minis & Sons, X. b. Reppard,
Haywood, Gage g. Co., Straus II Co,
5. Guckenheimer and others. The drafts
are given with the understanding that they
will be cashed on demand. Our work has
been approved by everybody as worthy
undertaking. Our people are poor,
and christian gentlemen see and
know that there is truly needed a
home for the aged and incurable
negroes, and we have no way to obtain as
sistance except from the true-hearted
Soutlferner We have appealed to several
of our Northern friends, but have received
no substantial response. They highly en-
dOrse it as a worthy movement, and that
is all. If we can only obtain ten hundred
dollars we are satisfied that we will secure
the balance from our colOred people.
The address of Gov. Stephens on the af-
ternOOn of the 18th instant has been post
pOned. as some of our white friends think
it would be best, and as in their opinion
it would be intruding on the strength and
time of his Excellency. A committee of
colored citizens, of which Abraham
Burke is chairman, will call upon the
Governor at the Screven House.

Greeting to savannah.


The Augusta Chronicle gives the ''Ses-
quiz the following eloquent send Off ''Ehe
celebration of the Sesqui-Centennial in
Savannah will be one of absorbing in
Eerest, Under such auspices, with such
inspiration, the occasion mounts into more
and more Importance as the day APP
proaches. Along with the other cities OF
Georgia, Augusta will contribute guests
and send greeting to Savannah for that
day. The placid water which rolls at our
side will dimple into smiles OF blue as 1t
nears the historic spot where the great
British warrior landed in 1888; upon its
bosom the shades of BOnaYenture may
sleep, full of sacred memory which our
people all revere, and over its broad ex-
panse as it breaks into the ocean there
will fall more benignant beam than the
light of Tybee, for in it the mountains ana
the seab0ard will meet and mingle the
greetings of people, happy in the history
of the past, and strong in the confidence
of the future"

why There was No Light

The electric lights in the tower iii
Wright square and in the Exchange stee-
pie were not burning last night, and con-
sequently this heretofore brilliantly light
ed part of the city looked gloomy and dark.
Under the contract with the city, the
Brush Electric Light and Power Com
pany are not to receive pay until all the
towers are completed and the entire city
Illuminated by their lights. The illumi-
nation heretofore has been entirely gra-
tuitous. the contracting party receiving
no compensation whatever. As 1t costs
considerable TO run the dynamOs and fur
nish the carbOns, it was decided not TO
attempt further illumination until the
towers are i'm position, unless some ar
rangemeRt Is made TO secure the company
against loss. In the meanwhile, the lamps
heretofore in use for lighting the city will
be Lii. the Electric Light Company paying
the bills.

MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE.
A Policeman Searching for Imaginary
Burglars Comes Near Being Shot by a
Citizen-A Mistaken Encounter.

A Policeman Searching for Imaginary
Burglars Comes Near Being Shot by a
Citizen-A Mistaken Encounter.
Mr.. O.P. Ravens, of the Screven House,
had quite an adventure on Wednesday
night. He sleeps over his photograph gal
lery on Broughton street. About mid
night he heard parties moving about on
the floor below, but supposing it was
drummer whom he had let have room in
which to exhibit goods, he was not I'M
easy. After some time he heard footsteps
on the stairs, and still suppOsing it was
his temporary tenant he was not alarmed
The intruders, as there now appeared to
be more than one, went into the front
room adjoining the bedroom. Mr.. Ravens
got out of bed, and, arming himself with
a club and his revolver, was
about to proceed to investigate,
when the supposed burglars tried the
door between the rooms, which was fas-
tened with string, one end tied to the
knob and the other to trunk, and
pulling it open inserted part of his hand.
After getting it further open he pOked his
head through the opening, when Mr..
Ravens put his pistol to his face and de-
manded who he was, at the same time
threatening to shoot. This demonstration
developed the fact that the supposed rob.
Der was a policeman who, having found
the front door unfastened, had secured two
other officers and was making a search
for an imaginary burglar.
An explanation of the circumstances
followed and the policemen withdrew to
other fields of conquest. The recognition
of the officers was timely and probable
tragedy was averted. Many people less
cautious than Mr.. Ravens would have
shot first and Investigated afterwards.
