GANAHL.-Entered into eternal rest, Sat
ulday afternoon, March q, 1885. in the even
ing of her life, Mrs. MARIA A. GANAHL, rel
let OF Henry Ganah, and beloved daughter
of the late A. A Smets.
A truly beautiful and unselfish life has sud-
denly ended. No elimination OF interest in
what had constituted her sncerest pleasure
for so many years, the doing of good, and
making every one happy with whom she came
in contact. And when death entered that
home, and again and again broke up the fam
lily circle, no cloud OF gloom was suffered to
darken the mansion, but even amidst tears,
there were smiles and a chastened good cheer
to the last, greeted all who passed through
that outer door into that dwelling of Chris
tian peace. Well and nObly has she lived
the promoter of all good objects; the helpful,
faithful worker in all humane enterprises;
the constant, kind and considerable friend. How
gracious and thoughtful of others she was,
many beyond her own immediate circle of
friendship have had occasion to know. To be
generous and self-forgetful was her nature;
to live for the happiness of those around her
was the habit of her life. Blessed memories
without number thrOng around her name,
and are the unwastIng legacy which she has
left to those loved ones bereaVed by her death.

Ineendiary Attempt to Burn the Second

A few minutes after u o'clock last
night an alarm of fire from box No. 10
summoned the Fire Department to the
vicinity of Houston and State streets,
where flames had been discovered BIZ PO-
iceman L'ghtbOdy issuing from under the
basement Of the Second African Baptist
Church. on Greene square. The firemen
succeeded in locating the fire beneath the
flooring in the northwestern portion OF
the structure, where a pile of rags and
kindling weed, smelling strongly Of kerO-
sene- was found in flames. The fire was
quickly eXtinguished. An examination
OF the building showed that the fOorlnp
"a that portion Of It had been partiaIIv
burned and the timbers charred. The
damage, including picket senee which
was broken down to enable the fremen 20
roTE the hose advantageOuslY on the

was supposed to be the work o. incendi-

Of the furnaces, which are located in
another portion Of the building and some
distance from the spot where the fire
occurred.
After tie Fire Department had returned
10 their quarters it was reported that two
cOIOred men had been suffOcated in the
basement. where they had gone to look for
the fire. Firemen John COnnOrs and Rob-

through the dense smoke. In a
few moments Mr.. COnnOrs brought out
one Of the men and returned to find the
other. a moment later, accompanied by

in their arms. Both men were insensible,

Whether the appropriations have been
inadequate or whether the delays In Cd

a Movement to Secure Lower Rates OF
transportation TO The North.
y meeting Of the Chatham County
Fruit and Vegetable Growers Associa-
ton Will be held on Tuesday evening to
consider means for securing, il possible,
lower rates OF transportation on fruit and
vegetable shipments TO the Northern
markets. Under the present schedule it
is claimed that the rates on vegetables in
crates to New York are % per
cent. lower from Charleston
than from Savannah. The object of the
meeting is TO consider the transportation
question, and to appoint committees to
confer with the steamship lines for the
purpose of securing a schedule of rates
that viii enable Savannah shippers to
place their truck in the New York mar
ket in competition with Charleston ship
pers. which they cannot do under the
existing rates,
The quesuOn OF rates is an important
one 10 the truck growers, and repeated
efforts have been made to bring about a
satisfactory arrangement with the steam
ship lines. There has been a good deal of
dissatisfaction during the past year or
two, and an effort will be made this
season to secure a schedule that will
place Savannah shippers in position to
compete with Charleston, Norfolk, ana
other vegetable shipping points.

THE PASSOVER.

One of the Greatest Festivals In the
Hebrew Church to Begin Tomorrow.
The feast of the Passover, one of the
greatest festivals in the Hebrew church
calendar will begin tomorrow evening.
The feast was instituted by Moses in
commemoration of the Israelites remain
ing intact on the night of the destruction
of the first born in Egypt Immediately
preceding the exodus from that country.
Originally it was observed by sacrificing
passover lambs toward the evening Of the
14th of the first Hebrew spring month
and eating them on the following night,
as well as by excluding all leaven from
the meals of that evening and the follow
ing seven DAYS, the first and last of
which were kept holy. Since the final
destruction of the temple of erusalem
the passover has been celebrated by
eating unleavened bread during the
seven days, and by abstinence from labor
on the first and last, and by the
observance on the first morning of various
domestic rites commemorative of the
deliverance from Egyptian bondage, in
GLIDING the recital of scripturaI and
legendary narratives and familiar con-
versatiOn on the event and the chanting OF
Psalms. Services will be held in the
Temple Mickva Israel to- morrow and
during the continuance of the festival.

GEN. JACKsoN's APPOINTMENT.
Arranging to Assume the Duties of the
Mexican Mission.

Mexican Mission.
Gen. Henry r. Jackson, recently ap.
pointed Minister to Mexico, has com.
menced putting his business in shape
preparatory to assuming the duties of his
office, but he is not able to cay yet when
he will leave Savannah. He has not re-
ceiyed a personal notification of his ap-
pointment, and it is probable one is not
considered necessary by the State Depart
men. He has, however, received informal
communications from the department re-
garding his mission.
The tendency of the commercial treaty
between the United States and Mexico,
and the fact that the treaty is opposed by
the sugar planters of Louisiana on the
ground that it will reduce the tariff ON
sugar ard make Mexico a dangerous COM
petitOr for the sugar trade of the United
States, has excited some inquiry regard
ing Gen. JacksOn's attitude on that ques-
ton. The General was seen by NEWS
reporter yesterday, and was asked if he
was prepared to give the public his views
of the treaty. He replied that he was
not, for the reason that it would be his
duty to conduct all negotiations touching
the treaty in behalf of this country, and it
would therefore be improper for him to
express his views, whatever they might
be, in regard to it.

Editor Morning Nea1S: DEAR SIR
take pleasure in informing you that
have returned from my trip to New York.
OF course, took in the big show at WASH
ington and had hearty handshaAe with
with our Democratic President. The
show was the biggest thing that ever
took place in the history of our country,
and was the means of squirting me on to
getting up a little show of a somewhat diff
ferent nature for the people of Savannah.
| think l have succeeded, and now
invite my customers and the public
generally to my store to witness it.
They will gaze with astOnment at
the large and cdried selection OF the
finest made Clothing ever placed under
one root in this city; nothing shOddy, nor
cheap trash to fill the store up with, but
the choicest, nelCeSt, nOb6iest and most Sc
lect patterns and styles. l will not quote
prices, nor say that my place is the cheap
est, etc, but mer ely say that L have a
treat for all regarding prices, and
extend an invitation to all, whether ready
to buy or merely to look around. My
usual large assortment of Hats and Gents
Furnishing Goods can't be surpassed.
Dear Mr.. Editor, you will place me un-
der many Obligations by informing the
public of these facts. Respectfully yours,
SIMON MITCHELL, $50 Broughton street,
sign Of the Golden Arm.-AdU.
