eide Success.

Amanda Miller, a 35-years' -old colored
woman, died yesterday morning a con-
fessed suicide She was employed as a
cook in Joe COsman's saloon on South
Broad street, and lived in the lane just
back OF the restaurant. Wednesday after
noon she visited an acquaintance nam
Maggie Black on Walnut street. The
Miller woman told her friend that tn y
would never see each other again.
Amanda MilleT's little daughter, who was
staying with Maggie Black, saw her
mother put some kind OF a powder in
some whisky. The mother told the child
TO take some of the whisky INTO an adiOin-
ing room. in which Maggie Black was.
The child did so and told the Black
woman what she had seen her mother no..
Maggie cOnclud bar she did not want
tue liquor and she went out 10 see Aman.
da, In little while the latter left, ac-
compauied by her child
In drug store on West Broad street
the woman tried to get 10 cents
worth Of arsenic, but the drug sist
would not let her have it. Later in
the evening the woman returned
to ork street lane, and was taken sick
there. During the night she tod a friend
mat she had taken arsenic, but she re-
FUSED to say where she got it. She also
told DR.. Brady, who was called to attend
her, that she had taken arsenic. She
could not be induced 10 tell where it was
obtained. She gave no reason for TAX
ing the poison, except that she was tired
OF living. The physician treated her for
poisoning, but medical aid was not sum-
moned soon enough.
When Coroner Dixon was notified OF
the death he investigated the case and
learned the above facts. Twice before
the woman attempted suicide by taking
laudanum. After her second failure she
remarked that the next time the doctors
would not pump the poison out. No In
quest was held

Collins and r. Moriarity played a pretty
fielding game yesterday. Moriarity's
throw from lett to home was a daisy.
ClarksOn and Kelly are the sweet sing
ers OF the Chlcagoes. Both have fine
voices and considerable musical talent.
Kelly, who played right field with the
ChicagOes in yesterdays game, is the
greatest base runner in the National
League.

team. He 10 a dwarf by the side OF An

Flint, who caught for the Chicagos yes
terday, caught Nolan, Savannah's new
pitcher, with the indianapolis team when
Nolan won the title of the only Nolan.
The game between the Board of Trade
team and the Cotton Exchange team will
take place next Tuesday. The Board of
Trade players were out practicing on the
Bay yesterday, and are developing into
hard hitters.
One of the chief faults OF Savannah's
players Is that they tail to take chances.
Nothing risked nothing gained, 4" is as
true In base ball as it is anywhere. The
club that takes chances, all Things beiD 2
equal, Will win nine times out of ten.
There was big improvement yesterday
in SaVannah's coaching. The successful
base runner must have GOODNESS, quick
perception, instantaneous decision, and
nerve. A player that combines these
qualifications and Is sharply coached Will
win bases every time.
1t was an ''of day. yesterday with UNI
plre Green. Clarkson's pitching got
away with him, and the way he called
strikes on Savannah when the ball passed
the plate above the batter's head caused
both players and spectators TO wonder
whether there had not been a change in
the rules of the game.

A TerribIe Army of Ants

On the fifth night of our stay at the
factory we received an evening call which
might easily have been the last TO more
than one of our number. The party had
settled down as usual 10 reading. writing.
talking. or card PLAYING, when suddenly
q great clamur arose IN the courtyard, IN
the mi,lst of which was heard q CRY as
ominous of evil in the ears of a west
African as that of ~Bagh hail. Tiger
hereD is in those of a Bengali Hindu:
The drivers! the drivers"
The very name of these formidable ants
the most dreaded and destructive of all
African insects at whose approach the
residents fly from their houses as the sole
chance of escape from those terrible jaws,
whose bite nothing living can resist
brought US all out in body upon the lit
tie step-ladder leading down TO the yard
from the front door. As we came forth
a broad glare of light broke upon US, re
vealing a strange and startling spectacle
Amid the utter blackneSs of night three
or four figures in violent motion were
weirdly outlined against the inky back
ground by the flames of the cracking
torches with which they were sweeping
the ground on every side OF them,
scorching up, as we could guess by their
movements, thousands of the invading
swarms at every stroke, only to see them
replaced by fresh thousands the next mo-
ment
Meanwhile we stood watching with
gloomy interest this battle with adverse
ries, which, though a man might crush
hundreds of them at every step without
being even conscious of it. were as for
midable in their own way as the best
armies of Napoleon. Should the ants
once reach the house, as we well knew.
we should be forced to fly from 1t as hur-
riedly as we had fed from the wreck five
days before, and to spend the night on
the open beach. which would be little
short of certain death to the ladies, ill as
both already were utterly unprovided
with any means of shelter from the tor
rent rain which midnight was certain to
bring with it More than once all seemed
| lost. as first one and then another of our
! defenders lowered his torch while striv-
! ing to brush off the countless enemies
that had fastened upon his bleeding arms
and limbs But little by little the steady
| perseverance of human efforts began to
prevail over the blind ferocitY of animal
instinct By the time the full moon rose
! in its splendor over the dark woods be
hind us the struggle was over, and we
retired to lay our heads upon our mail
bags, with hearts lghtened of d very
heavy load

A BIG LAND CLAIM.
Probable Suit Of a Chicago Woman
for Estates in Hawaii.

CHICAGO, February 3th.-The fact was
announced to-day that Chicago lady
claims an interest in large estates in the
Hawaiian Islands and has retained a
Chicago law firm to prosecute her claim.
1t is based on her blood relationship to
John Young, who married into the royal
family of the Islands. becoming Gov
ernor of Hawaii and grandfather of the
late Queen Emma. John Young died in
1885 at an advanced age, leaving to his
daughter an immense fortune in lands
and cattle.
The last descendant of Kamehameha,
Queen Emma Kaleleonalani, died last
April, leaving no issue. She was the
daughter of Fanny Young Kekelaokalini,
who was the daughter of Kaoanaeha and
John Young. Queen Emma was born
in Honolulu in 1886. She married Kane
hameha ". and on his death she be-
came Queen. From the other branch of
John Young's family the living descend
ants come from Parmelia Crane, who was
the daughter of John Young's sister.
Mrs. Crane died on November 6, 1885,
aged go years. She was born in Massa-
chusetts. Her first husband was Charles
Adams. She was a warm personal
friend of Cardinal McCloskey. Mrs.
Parmelia Cranes daughter is Mrs. jose
phine Smith of Chicago, and her daugh-
ter is Mrs. Josephine Fisher of POS Nor
gan street. Mrs. Fisher proposes to
prosecute the claim of the family to an
estate in the Hawaiian Islands rightfully
belonging to the heirs of John Young.

Major A. S. Bender returned to Homo
lulu by the Alameda from the Eastern
States, whittier he went several months
ago in search of health. The Major, we
are sorry to say, has not benefited by the
trip; indeed, his health is about the same
as when he left. He felt the cold very
much, and is glad to get back to where it
is warm.
