LIEUT.. CARRIERS REPORT.
The Twenty Eight Foot Project Put
Down at $6,6OO,OoO.


WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Lieut. o. NJ.
Carter, corps of engineers. in his report to
the war department. in regard to the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors in Georgia
and northeastern Florida desert es the prog
ress made in each of the works during the
past year and makes estimates for their con-
tlnuance during the next year.
The total amount expended to June 80
last on the Savannah harbor and river was
Sl,031 ,5Sl, and has resulted i'll securing a
navigable channel from the city to the sea
with least mean low water depth of 1874,
gain of "a since the work began. The
gain in navigable depth is somewhat greater
and vessels OF from twenty to twenty one
feet draught now go from the city to the
sea On single tide.
COST OF THE % FEET PROJECT.
The sum necessary to complete the i'm
provement according to the plans for OBJ
tanning twenty eight feet of water from the
city to the sea, is estimated at S. CSC, 900, Of
which amount So, 100000 can be profltaby
expended during the next fiscal year.
The sum of $72, $50 has already been ex-
pended in securing a low water stream in
the Savannah from Savannah to Augusta,
and 100000 is estimated as necessary to
continue the work during the next fiscal
year.
The amount already expended on the Sa-
vannah river above Augusta is S3S, ,297 1t
is not advisable to expend any money on
this work until plan is perfected for its

SHOTS BEFORE A SHRINE.
Two Killed and oyer a Dozen Wound
ed in a Tennessee Feud

CHICAGO, July l0.-A dispatch from
Knoxville, Tenn, says: The Laurel Fork
meeting house, in Whitley county, Ken
lucky, was the scene Sunday of a terrible
tragedy. 1t was collision between the
Rose and Fusion clans while the services
were in progress. A feud had been in ex-
istence between Michael Rose and one Of
the Fusion boys for some timo over S5,
which the former accused TIE latter of steal
ing from him. A few weeks ago Fusion
waylaid Rose and seriously wounded him
with a Winchester rifle Some time after
that Rose shot at Fusion from ambush and
clipped off one ear.
ARMING FOR THE FRAY.
From that time on the feud grew
stronger, and last week both parties, backed
by large number of friends on either side,
laid in a liberal supply of shotguns and
Winchesters and a collision became only "A
matter of time. 1t came Sunday morning,
and just as the minister of tho little church
was announcing his text a volley of fire
arms was discharged just outside
THE DEAD AND DYING
The battle ragged fiercely between the two
factions, and when the smoke cleared away
it was found that Ewell Lawson and his
son John, aged l3. belonging TO the Rose
faction, were dead, having been fairly
riddled with buckshot, and that the three
Fusion boys, Thomas, John and Enos and
John Porter, belonging to the other side,
were seriously and perhaps fatally wounded.
A dozen others whose names could not be
ascertained were more or less seriously
wounded. Great excitement prevails in the
county and the end is not yet.

LEADER OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Congressman Scott Apt to Succeed
Senator German,

OOA
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Cor
man laughs at the reports that he could not
be chairman of the national executive cam
paign committee if he desired it, He says
he is not to be chairman simply because, as
he announced some time ago, his private
interests will not permit him this year to
give the time to this work which he gave in
1884, and which it would be necessary to
give this year in order to secure success.
Senator German has been asked repeatedly
to take this Craftsmanship, and has repeat
edly declined.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY INDoRsED.
When the national committee met here
to organize on June 26 the members who
held over from the committee of 1884 were
unanimous and enthusiastic in their express
sions of approval of Mr.. Gorman's work In
1884, crediting him with having been essen
tial to success in New York. Mr.. German
says that though he cannot afford time to
lead he will serve faithfully in the ranks.
1t is believed here tonight that William l..
Scott will take the chairmanshlp Of the
national executive committee. He will
certainly have the direction of it.
PLANS OF THE ENEMY.
New YORK, July 10.-Conferences have
been held to-day between near representa-
tives of Harrison and Morton and it is stated
that there was most cordial agreement
as to the organization OF the committee and
the plans for the campaign. 1t is said that
the organization will be made so as to rep
resent all the elements of the party, and
preserve the unity and harmony shown by
the national convention.
THE GUARDIANSHIP.
1t had been supposed that the chairman
ship of the committee would go west, but
it is said tonight that Mr. Clarkson of
Iowa and Mr.. New of Indiana, the two
western men mentioned for the place, both
decline to be considered for it, and this will
insure an eastern chairman, with the prob
ability that Col. Dudley of Indiana will be
made chairman of the executive committee.
THE TWO MOST DISCUSSED.
Senator Quay and Chris Magee of Penn
sylvania are most discussed for the national
charmanship. Senator Platt of New York
