WINES A CENTURY OLD.
Savannah Believed to Have the Oldest
Wines in America

Savannah is believed TO have the Oldest
wine in America. A well-kncwn Savan-
nathan, who is connoisseur in wines, said
a few DAYS ago that he has lot of Madeira
of the vintage of 1S33-over half century
Old
There arc wines in Savannah, though,
much older than that. Some OF The Oldest
families here have M&deira nearly ceptury
old. One gentleman has sevefa! lots OF me
famous All SAINTS Madeira, imported
in 1891 and 1893, the year of tie
great fire in Savannah. Two pipes were
imported that year, one for the great
grGrdfather Of the late William Gibbons
and one for the father of Nat Hayward, a
prominent South Carolina piGnrer. The
night of the fire one pipe was left under the
bluff by mistake and the other was burned
ND on the Bay. The pipe under the bluff
was divided between Gibbons aud hey
ward as the Only fair way OF
settling their loss. The gentleman, who
now has several lots Of the wine, bought it
from Gibbons 81 Heyward's descendants,
eighty years after its division.
Then there is the famous Hunter wine,
imported about the same time. Some OF 1t
is still in the hands Of friends Of tho family.
The late Mr. DeRenDe. who Inherited some
of this wine, often offered 500 Il bottle for
it.
One gentleman has over twenty lots inn
ported from the old Madeira house OF New
ton Gordon from 1902 TO- 1889. Savannah
was a large winn importing port n century
ago. The following is facsimile OF an old

noon via the inside route.
Yesterday -about noon as the British
steamship Inchrhona was on her way to
sea the force Of her suction caused three
heavy wire cables running through the

The Polics Take a Hand in a Game in
Cooperation Lane.

Coopershop lane is rarely, if ever, quiet
on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
1t was not as pacific as it might have been
yesterday morning. A crowd Of negroes

up in a general fracas, in which one of the
gamblers narrowly escaped being shot.
When the difficulty had reached its mig est
point, PolicemenJ ensen and NeidIinger made
a descent upon the crowd, and WITH the as
sistanceof three ocean steamship policemen,
six of the gamblers were arrested and
lodged in Jail. John Owens (colored was
searched at the barracks and pistol was

trying to shoot and kill Edward Singleton

The policemen broke in on the men when

GRESHAM ANDLINCoLN IN NEW E
 YORK

YORK.
 As 10 the four men between whom tho Republican nomination now seems tC vibrste, it may be said that sny ooe oi them will gain the united support of the party in the great, and perhaps pivotal State of New York. There would be no cooIness on the part of the Hslf-breeds nor sny lack of enthusiasm on the part of the stslwsrts of the Empire State toward Gresham, Lincoln, Allison or Sherman. They are all men who have
 performed their pubic duties SO ss to please sll and offend none.
 Oi Gresham aud Lincoln, it may be predicsted thRt their names would be more than acceptable 70 the State of Chester A. Arthur. Both were men bsrs of Mir. Arthur's c8biaet, each en- ioyed ;ke full measure of ms confidence, snd it IS to be noticed that the New York Sun, which speaks for the lsrge body of Democrats that Is dissusted by MT. CleTe-snd's radical reduction, if not free importation" policy. hes been nov ei to suggest the wisdom of Greshsm's nomination by the Republicans; there is DO doubt that either be or Lincoln would De the recipient of many a silent vote which would be Democratic on state or county issues. Both gentlemen are iden- tiied with Arthur's repeated recom- mendstions of ".otal abolition of inter nal revenue taxes, excepting those oD whisky and other intoxicants." The like Is true of Allison, who was strongly sup ported for 6 place ID GaTfeld's cabinet, and of Sherman, whose financial policy has been endorsed as warmly by far seeing Democrats as by the most ardent Republicans. Each of the four has some peculiar element of strength; any one of them IS as well adapted to the longitude Of New York as to that of San Francisco.
 There are 8 few events that may be safely predicted of the next convention; no nomination will be made on the first ballot, nor is it likely that any will be Ou buc ScCObd UT will be trial of strength between some justly 'fsvorits sons." Most states will send uninstructed delegations; the dele gstions that come instructed, will, for the most part, be pledged to 6 resident of the state which they represent. Iowa will come pledged to Allison, Ohio to Sherman; Illinois will be sure to present 6 candidate; Indiana ought to come with delegates not hostile to Gresham; it IS possible that New York may present the name of Chsunoey M, Depew, and it is needless to add that If his name be pre- sented 1t will not be found without at- trsetive force to other ststes. There IS DO shadow of dark horse" upon the field; the nominee Is all but sure to be & man whose chances have been thoroughly csnYsssed before the convention assemblies. Public sentiment will cut more of 8 figure in the convention than | Instructed delegates. Beyond these con- lectures 1t is not safe to venture. Returning to the element of certainty, | the republican party is to be conRratu- lated upon the absolute impossi5illty of | 6 choice that will breed discord or lack | enthusiastic support. Whichever ot thr | names here presented be approved by | the convention will be elected by the people Inter Ocean.

HE company operating the Copper Vaeen mine at Bisbee are reported to nave placed the entire product of their mine for the ensuing year at l6Ik cents per pound, It is fair to presume that all other copper properties in the terri tory can sell at like rstea. and such be- ing the case it is, considering the many valuable copper lodges iu the country, marvel why so few are worked. Globe IS undoubtedly one of the best camps in the world for the metal in question. Eight or ten different companies could work. where but one-the Old Globe-is now in operation. The very hills are but mass of ore, much of it high grade, which although distant TO miles from s railroad, could with absolute certainty be, at the present ruling prices, worked to profit and advantage. The Old Globs, the only developed mine in that portion of the country, IS running one stack and Is doing exceedingly we'll. About 47 tons of ore arc put through eacn 4 hours and the yield of copper bullion is nearly l4,0OO lbs. This output, extraordinary as it msy seem, can be largely increased a, any desired time. Other properties equally ss valuable as the Old Globe and iying contiguous to 1t, are from some unexplained reasons. idle. Copper now commands the high est price attained for the past several years and such claims that cannot po~ be profi.ably worked, might ss we'll be | abandoned.
