The British steamship Stag arrived yes
terday afternoon from Shields, England,
by way of Delaware Breakwater. con-
signed to Messrs. A. Minis g. Sons. This
is the third Of the fleet Of steam tramps to
carry cotton. She will load for Liverpool
Immediately. The Stag is new vessel,
and this is her first voyage. She will be
followed by other new steamers. The
number of new steamers which call at
this port and take on their first cargo is
rather remarkable. There were nine
which loaded here last year.
The steamship Dessoug arrived yester-
day afternoon from Philadelphia. She
had been delayed at the above port for a
week undergoing repairs on account OF
the accident to her machinery reported in
the NEWS last week. BY this delay she
was unable to sail yesterday on her re-
turn trip, but will sail tomorrow after
noon.
Capt. Gibson's new steamer, Ethel, had
steam up yesterday afternoon. Her en-
gines, and in fact all her machinery was
found to work smoothly. She Gid not,
however, make her trial trip on the river,
but will probably do so tomorrow if the
weather is favorable. She has rot been
inspected as yet by the government engi-
neers, and consequently will not receive
her certificate until after inspection and
tests of boilers are gone through
with, which will take some
time. The vessel is all complete
with the exception of being upholstered,
which will be done this week. Capt.
Gibson expected to be able to begin his
regular trips to Augusta next Tuesday,
but finds it impossible to be ready, and
will not begin the regular trips before
Tuesday week.
On Friday night the wind blew ter riff
cally at Tybee. Setting in at 8 O'Clock
from the northeast, it blew at the rate OF
40 to 45 miles per hour up to II O'Clock,
when it increased to 60 miles, blowing at
this rate until 80 o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t then moderated, but was
still high all day.

A RALTIAfoRE RoMANCE.
An EIopement at the johns Hopkins
UniYeraitY.

The Baltimore Sun of Thursday morn
ing tells the following story: During the
summer Johns Hopkins University was
closed, but Cupid could not be barred out
and succeeded in creating no little stir in
those usually quiet precincts. The only
single daughter of the head janitor be-
came the object on which the young jan
iter of the biological department GEN.
tered his affections. She loved him in re-
turn, but her parents did not smile on the
match. The young couple had frequent
opportunities for meeting, and they finally
planned an elopement. A license was
procured. but several weeks elapsed be-
fore a sufficiently good opportunity offered
itself. But it came at last. One evening
the young lady's mother went
out, and the young janitor's sweet
heart went into the basement, saying she
would make up the bread and attend to
other domestic matters. Her father was
up stairs and her lover was secreted in
the basement of an adjoining house, by
the kindness and sympathy of several la
dies in the employ of the university, who
occupied the building. He had with him
a shawl and bonnet belonging to his sis
ter. There is an opening betwe en- the
two Easements and the young lovers were
in each others agitated presence. The
bonnet and shawl were speedily in requi-
sition, and the lovers made their exit
through the neighboring house, and hied
away to be married. The girls parents
have forgiven the loving couple, but are
still rather incensed against those who
helped them to elope through the base
ments. An elder sister of the bride also
eloped to be married some time since,

Death Of samuel n. Ke1rrer.
Houston Home JournG

Houston Home journal
Samuel n. Keiffer, Esq, died at the
residence of Mr.. G.. w. Smith, near York,
last Thursday morning, Sept. 4, at IL
O'Clock, of typhoid fever, after an illness
of six weeks. He was native of Effing-
ham county, where his family reside, hon
ored descendants of the sturdy Saltzbur-
gers who colonIZed EbeneZer in 1873. In
1883 he taught school in Bib county.
At the November term, 1879, of Houston
Superior Court he was licensed to prac-
tice law, after passing highly creditable
examination.
In the summer OF 1882 he attended a
law SHOOT at Lexington, KY.
In January, 1888, he was elected Prin-
cipal of the York Academy. He proved
himself an accomplished educator and
thorough disciplinarian. He likewise
identified himself with every enterprise
which had for its object the moral. intel
lectual and material improvement of the
community in which he lived, and the
people repaid him with unprecedented
love and esteem.
Judge r. E. Story thus spoke to the
writer in view of Mr.. Keiffer's probable
death: "His death will be great loss to
the community. He has done more to in
fuse spirit of progress and hberality in
our people than any five men who ever
lived here"
Judge Story was his neighbor, and such
words from him are indeed raise, and
show the estimation in whic a.r. Keitfer' 8
patrons and neighbors held his labors and
example. Ill health and other causes had
diverted Mr.. Keiffer from the pursuit of
mis- chosen profession, but it was under
stood by his friends that he would begin
the practice of law at the close Of the
present fall term of 7 ork Academy, which
he was about to begin when stricken with
the fatal malady.
Mr.. Keiffer was % years old on July 26
last, which occasion the Union Agricul-
tural and Social Club at their grounds,
Idyl Wilde Park, celebrated by a fruit
festival He was the Secretary of the
club, and had been its most active or
ganizer and promoter. Surrounded on
that day by his friends he was the picture
OF health and social happiness.
Youth, coupled with moral and intel
lectual qualities of high order, energy
and worthy ambition, all beckoned him
to a career of usefulness and honor.
Alas, the very next day he took his bed
Of sickness, never to rise again in this
life.
Let his distant friends and relatives
find consolation in knowing that his man.
" qualities and upright life had endeared
him to the people of his adoption, who
mourned his death as public calamity

A MYSTERY AT NIAGARA.
Supposed Suicide of f. L, Taylor by
Going Over the American Falls.

Supposed Suicide of f. l., Taylor by
Going Over the American Falls.
This morning, says Niagara special of
Sept. IL, Chief of Police Garfield received
a telegram from William Henry Clark, of
Bethlehem, n. H., stating that a letter
dated Niagara Falls had been received
from Francis L. Taylor, stating his inten-
ton to commit suicide. Clark, therefore,
requested Taylor's arrest. The chief i'm
mediately proceeded to find the man, and
soon learned that such party had regis
tered at hotel on the American
side on the 9th inst. as T. l.. Taylor,
Philadelphia, Pa. He had paid his bill,
intending to leave on the afternoon Of Sep
TENDER 8. On the morning of September
8 one of the hotel guests walking along
the bank above the Falls saw a hat, coat
and cane lying on the edge of the rapids.
He notified the hotel clerk, who sent a
boy and had the things brought to the
hotel. Nothing was said about it until
the Chief called to-day. The latter tele-
graphed Clark, stating these particulars
and his belief that Taylor had committed
suicide.
This evening another telegram was re-
ceived from Clark, who said that he doubt
ed Taylor's actions, and requested him to
keep a good lookout for Taylor. AS the
latter was not seen leaving town it is
generally supposed that he ended his life
by jumping into the rapids and had gone
over the American Falls, thus adding an
other name to the already long list of sui
cldes at Niagara. Nothing was found in
the pockets of the coat to s i've any cleW,
except a receipted hotel bill.

A SUIT FOR $4,000, 1000.
The Fox Heirs Against the Buffa
Crane Sugar CompanY

The Fox Heirs Against the Buffalo
Grape Sugar Company.
In the special term of the Supreme
Court to-day, says Buffalo, n. Y, special
of Sept. IL, motion was argued in the
suit of the heirs of Arthur w. Fox against
Cicero J. Hamlin and others, of the
Buffalo Grape Sugar Company, to recover
$2,00O,0OO, the value Of eighty-slx shares of
stock and the damages for the loss of the
use of the stock for several years. In
1867 Fox & Williams began to make sugar
out of corn, and in 1874, with c. j. Ham,
lin and his sons, formed the Buffalo Grape
Sugar Company.
Fox died the same year, indebted to the
company in large sum. Arthur G.. Fox,
the son, became the administrator of the
estate and permitted the company TO hold
eighty-six shares Of grape sugar stock in
pledge for payment of his fathers debt.
The company allowed the administrator
$3.50 per share for the privilege and gave
an agreement in writing as to the c0ndi-
ton of the pledge. The plaintiffs claim
that the debt has been paid. Recently
the court permitted the examinations of
the Hamlins before proceeding with the
trial. To-day the HamIin's counsel moved
to set aside the order. The Judge reserv-
ed his opinion.

THE STRUGGLE OF THE MINES.
The Dtxfes' Record of Games During
the Season just Closed-Winning the
City ChampiOnship-List or Victories
and Defeats.

The Dixies' Record of Games During
the Season just Closed-Winning the
City ChampiOnship-List or Victories
and Defeats.
The base ball season of 1884 has ended.
1t has been an interesting one in the local,
State and national diamond. The clubs
competing for its honors have now been
mustered out of service for the winters
respite. Base ball has never doomed as
it has doomed during the season Just
closed. 1t may well be called the ma
tional game, as there is not a sport or
pastime known in the Union that can
compare with it in attracting and holding
the attention Of thousands of people day
after day without its growing monoto-
nous. 1t is unquestionably carried on to
a greater extent than any other sport in
the world, and the more frequently the
games are played the more interest seems
to be taken in them, and the more largely
are they attended. This has been the
record in Savannah as well as in the
League and Association diamond.
The Savannah clubs-the Dixies and
Oglethorpes-began the season better
manned and better equipped thaH
ever before, but in the lists of
tAC 5dnG lHCf N6Ib hunting IU0g
so often combatted and COPIED with
forces every way their equal, that by the
time the seasons contests were ended
they we re left in glorious uncertainty
ofdou'H whether they were ahead in the
race ofSbehind.
Upon taking an inventory of their per-
formances for the year it is found that
under the regular club management the
DIx1es played p games, 8 of which were
with the OglethOrpes. Six Of these latter
games their score book records as victo-
ries, giving them the city championship
bye to 3. Their record with visiting clubs
is not altogether in their favor, and shows
more defeats than victories.
The winning of the city championship
entities them to the silver mounted prize
bat and ball offered by Davis Bros. at the
beginning of the season. The presenta-
ton took place yesterday, when the hand
some souvenir of their victories was CON-
mitted to the care of Manager Lewis, ac-
companied by the following letter:
SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 13, 1884.
George Leaois, Esq, Manager Dieie B. B. Club:
1t affords US pleasure to present to your club
the prize silver mounted bat and silver ball
which we announced at the commencement
of this sc ason to award to the champion club
OF Savannah. You have fairly won them.
Truly yours, DAVIS BROS.
Manager Lewis repIed in letter con-
veying the appreciation of tne club to the
donors of the gift. The Individual r1G ORD
of each player is shown in the following
table:
