An Idea of Mr.. Depew,
From the London Ffanro.


Chauncey Depew, who, in spite Of the
fact that the national convention Of the
democratic party at st. Louis unanimously
adopted Mr. Cleveland as their party can
didate, is still said to be in the running for
the American presidency. keeps a private
secretary of the name of Du Val. Mr. Du
Val keeps for Mr.. Depew scrap book.
or memorandum book, of well-informed
men. If Mr.. Depew is asked to speak
at a country fair, at the laying of corner
stone, at a birthday dinner in honor of
Tom, Dick or Harry at college celebra-
ton, at any significant point where a par
ticular theme needs special outworkirg on
lines with which he is not perfectly famil-
lar, he tells Du Val to look the subject up.
Du Val sends for the man who is we'll in
formed on the particular point to be illus
trated, sucks him dry, puts in syllabus the
entire subject before Depew, who studies it,
Grams with it, and then, having thoroughly
digested it, delivers it to his secretary, who
takes it down in shorthand. This being
translated by the type writer, is like an
open book to the orator, who studies il
carefully, literally commits it to memory.
and very often has it set up in printed
slips for distribution to tho reporters

ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip In Railway
Circle4

All the steel rails necessary for the com
pletion of the Blackville. Aston and New
berry railroad to the kailin beds have ar
rived i'll Charleston and will be forwarded
at once to their destination. The first car
load of watermelons over the road was
shipped Saturday to Charleston.
ScribnerS Monthly for July prints tho
following: The railways of Greece are a
welcome convenience, and as yet they do
not tear the landscape, like some of ours in
the White mountains. They are of narrow
gauge, laid with iron bands instead
of wooden ties, running up hill and down;
when the grade would be too steep they
made long detours to avoid deep cuts and
high embankments Only the road from
Corinth to Megara is cut out of the rock ::
and this may easily be forgiven, since the
view from it, upon and ac, oss the Saronic
gulf to the islands and Pelopennesus, is one
of the most charming in Greece. The
trains run slowly and quietly. The cars
are partly on the American plan, partly on
that of the continental railways They
have three "classes," but must allow a
passage within the cars from one end of
the train to tho other Some compartments
IRE large, with seats along the side. The
railway is still a marvel to the people, who
gather at the stations to watch the trains,
often with the priests (pappas) at their head
The novelty was still attractive TO the Off
GERS two years ago. Four men at C0rnth
busted themselves with my valise, weighed
it, made out receipt in duplicate, made
entry in a book and pasted the label

IN THE BASE BALL WORLD.
The Effect OF Memphis Failure On the
Southern League.

The Effect OF Memphis Failure On the
Southern League.
The fate of the Southern base ball league
has been sealed by the disbanding of the
Memphis club A meeting called by the
management few days ago for the pur-
pose of raising funds by subscription to fin
iSh the season met no response from the citi-
zens. There was nothing left then but to
quit at once. The expenses of the club have
been fully 800 per day, which footS up
over 50, 600 for the three months of the sea
son. The gross receipts of the games played
on the home grounds, including exhibition
games of northern clubs, we're g., 500 and
the net receipts were $4,000. This leaves
the directory and stockholders something
more than $1,000 in the hole. The average
receipts to the club per game were $3.50.
Four thousand five hundred dollars was
paid to the players as advance money
before ball had been pitched
across the plate. Reccius was paid a
bonus of $500 for signing, Crotty $500 and
Andrews got 5000 advance money.
President Roster claims that this extrava-
gance had been perpetrated before he and
Jimmy Woods went into the management.
He also says that of 800 citizens who had
promised TO buy season tickets, only seven
did SO. The above estimate of the losses
should be added to the cost of improve
ments on grounds and other expenses,
which will bring the total losses up to more
than $4,000.
The members Of the team will scatter.
Ewing and Vaughn are already gone to
Louisville, and McAleer to Milwaukee.
Nichols goes to the western league club at
Kansas City, Andrews to Hamilton, Ont,
Peltz and McKeogh to Rochester, n Y,
Phelan and Force go to Sioux City, Iowa,
whittier Jack Sneed has preceded them.
Cline, Reccius, Reisinger, Hotferd and
Bowers will lay over until after Wednes-
day, having as yet no engagement.
The dropping out of Memphis cannot do
other wise than result in the disbanding Of
the league. The season is not much more
than half over and the league cannot exist
with three clubs. 1t was predicted before
the season opened that the league could not
last, but II was not thought that the end
would come so soon. The interstate league
is likely to pull through its season aud out
do the southern leaguers after all. The
Savannahs will leave for Atlanta tonight
and will play there tomorrow, and two
games on Wednesday.

The Best Time to Buy Valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways new ideas. new CON
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we 1oiU sell rerU
close to move some of it. This is a good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware.
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornnent we offer line par excellence of
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches. Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelrv. etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next faIl-buy the
presents you intend to give no,C. They
will keep, and you will save money.

Mr. Goodwin, a white man, and a con-
ductor on the City ana Suburban railway,
saved his life earlier in the night by run
ming away He said that he had finished
his days work and was on his way home
with his bucket when he noticed his brother
in an angry crowd, and told him to come
on and 20 home His brother replied that
Scott wanted to fight Mr.. Futch, friend
Of his, and he was trying to get Futch
home. Mr.. Goodwin says he set down his
bucket, and tried TO persuade Futch to
come on, when Crosby ordered him to pick
up the bucket and go on, and when he hesl-
tated Scales struck him on the jaw with
stick and knocked him down. Seeing that
tho crowd was rough one, he ran OFT. This
Mr. Goodwin says occurred near the corner
OF Lincoln and Second streets, not far from
his home He does not know what became
Of Futch.
The circumstances all seem to show that
Scales, Scott and Crosby were crazy with
liquor and terrorizing the people, white and
black, from Anderson street TO Second
street and from Montgomery street as far
east as Lincoln street. 1t is a remarkable
coincident that the four men were all cut in
the back. Scott drives street wagon and

Extension.
General Manager Belknap of the Central
railroad returned last night from Birming-
ham in his private car, the Georgia, the
first car which has made the round trip
from Savannah TO Birmingham over the
line of the new Columbus and Western.
Maj. Belknap is highly pleased with the
condition of the road and its future pros
poets. He informed MORNING NEWS re-
porter last night that he has made a per
sonal inspection of the road and tunnels,
and found them in good condition. He says
that the first excursion, 400 strong, came
into Birmingham last Saturday. The
first schedule train left Biz
mingham at 11;45 o'clock yesterday
forenoon, and the first day the road
was opened five tickets to New York were
sold via Savannah and the Ocean steam
ship line. Maj. Belknap says that the
Columbus and Western means a daily line
of steamers from Savannah. With the
completion Of the road from Eden TO Ameri-
Gus, giving a closer communication with
Birmingham, a daily line will ber equired.
The company recognizes this, and the pre-
liminary drawings have been completed for
another new steamer, the Kansas City.
Maj. Belknap says that trains will run
through from Birmingham to Savannah in
eighteen hours by their present lines, and
that through cars and sleepers will be put
