UNCLE SAM TAKES HIS OWN.
The Government In Formal Possession
of Growers Island.


United States Marshal Lamar returned
yesterday from Growers Island, where he
went on Wednesday to take possession of
the island in the name of the United States
A MORNING NEWS reporter had a pleas
ant interview with the Marshal yesterday
afternoon. The trip, Col. Lamar said, was
very enjoyable one. The Wistaria came
to anchor about two miles off shore, and the
party took a small sailboat and circled the
island.
The property was bought many years
ago" said Col. Lamar, 'by the government
on account of the excellent quality of its
live oak, which was used in the construc-
tion of war vessels, but in these days of
steel shipbuilding live oak is no longer val
liable for that class of vessels. The island
has about $50 acres of marsh land that
cannot be utilized for cultivation, except
by adopting tie system of dikes which is so
common in Holland and which, if used
here, would reclaim thousands of acres.
There are about $50 acres of upland in
Growers Island which are very fertile, 20
of which are under cultivation. We found
but one family on the island, a Mr.. Camden
Lang, and quite an intelligent gentleman"
"How did you take possessionp

took possession of the island in the name of
the government which | represented as
Marshal of the district in which the island
is situated, and then turned the property
over to Capt. Lamberton, representing the
Navy Department of the government.
How did the tenant accept the situa-
tionr
There was no contest on his part, of
course. In fact, he is much more secure
and content now than he was before, for
Capt. Lamberton drew up form of con-
tract by which Mr.. Lang was put in charge
of the island The contract was signed in
duplicate by Capt Lamberton and Mr..
Lang, and the latter retained a copy for
his own protection. Capt. Lamberton also
informed him that if he was troubled by
trespassers, all that he had to do was to re-
port to the Navy Department and the tres
paSsers would be punished"

a few minutes. By Q o'clock, counting
those inside and those on the anxious seat
outside, there were scant forty colored Re
publicans, and still no speaker, and the dis
appointed reporter reluctantly came away.
1t was learned that the orator came along
later and eloquently told his colored
brethren that they should stand by the
party that had promised them forty acres
and mule, and that John Sherman was in
favor of free ballot and fair count,
which the country had not had since Sher-
man and Eliza Pinkston counted the vote
of Louisiana in 1876.
If last nights meeting is any evidence of
the enthusiasm among the colored fraternity
for the &. o. p, Orator Deveaux ought TO
hasten to employ brass band and station
it at the entrance of Empire Hall on nights
when he wants TO get crowd together to
hear his fervid pleadings for return to the
old order of things when the savings Of the
confding colored men slipped through the
rat holes of the Freedman's Savings Bank
Empire Hall is too commodious and roomy
to accommodate the few who care to hear
the ambitious orator, although fresh from
the laurels of State convention.

that of the day before. Butler was unable
to pitch yesterday, and Louis was put in.
The visitors batted him easily. They started
off with three runs in the first inning, and
two in the second. This was a big lead,
but in the fourth inning they addeo five
more, and practically won the game. After
that they had everything their own way.
Louis was unable to control the ball and
four men were given bases for being hit.
Columbus played a pretty fielding game
with but three errors. The following is the

1t was thought a week ago that by an

that Col. John II. Deveaux would speak to
the colored Republicans at Empire Hall
last night that hundreds would be turned
away. The chairman of the meeting a
week ago announced that the meeting last
night would be exactly at $ O'clock" At
that hour about dozen had collected, and,
after sitting half an hour watching the
empty benches, a messenger was sent to

orator was at supper. Half an hour later
another messenger was sent TO the Colonel's

Miss Sheridan said, so the story goes, to
Miss Harvey: "Do you know, Mamie, that

"Well, may be she didn't replied the

the crowd gathered around and listened.
"Why, he says that your father is an
Irishman, but that he did some good for his
country during the war, and on that &c
