GIFTS TO A CauRoA.
Brunswick's Catholics Twice Surprised
Within q Week.

Within Week
BRUNSWICK, GA, April 6.-The Catho-
lies Of Brunswick and their friends have
been pleasantly surprised within the last
week by two gifts-the first a handsome
sanctuary lamp, and lastly magnificent
osten sorium.
The lamp is the gift Of young men men,
bers OF the congregation. who, approaching
the earnest work of Father Hennessey, in
endeavoring to beautify the church, decided
to aid him by presenting an article that
would be ornamental and useful The lamp
is Gothic in design, with an eight day ruby
glass attachment, and hangs suspended from
an arch in front Of the altar by a pretty
gilded chain. 1t is very much admired and
priced highly by Father HennesSey and his
congregation.
The ostel sorium is the gift of Mrs.
George T. Hecker OF New York, who is
spending the winter in Brunswick. The
sacred vessel Of is of gold of tasty design
and stands two feet in hight, to the top of
the cross 1.-THE sign If solvation) which sur
mounts it. The aperture in the center for
the lunette is surrounded with a circle of
twenty-six jewels, aud this again with a
wreath of wheat and vine with fruit sym
bolical of the divine sacrifice), from which
expands beautiful ray of gold thirty-six
inches in circumference. Around the base
In raised WORK is wreath OF shamrock (em-
blem Of the Holy Trinity.
THE osTEN soRIUM BLESSED.
The osten sorium was blessed Sunday and
will be used for bsnediction on special oc.
casions.
Father Hennesssy aud his congregation
feel deeply indebted to Mrs. He-ker for her
handsome gift and have rendered her their
heartfelt thanks.
In addition to these valuable decorations
the congregation have recently added
numerous and attractive ornaments to the
church, among which can be seen in the
vestlbule two that deserve special mention.
One of these is the new chart Of the chrono-
logical tree of the church, the other photo
group of the popes from st. Peter to the
present time. Apropos of these add
tions to the church it will
be interesting 60 tho many Catholics
throughout the state to learn that by tho
untiring work of Father Hennessey their
church here has very nea ly settled all the
debts against it, and will SHORTLY be entirely
free from encumbrances. Their beloved
father has accomplished vast deal of good
since his arrival in this fieldf and his work
is being encouraged in every manner posi-
! bic.

BRUNswIok's NEW Editor.
Doubt as to Whether a Change VIII
Really bs Made.


Really bs Made.
BRUNSWICK, GA, April 6.-Who is to o
the editor of the Brunswick Tmesl is the
question now puzzling more than few
Brunswickians. The SAVANNAH NEWS
and Macon Telegraph being the first and
only papers to notify the people of the con-
templated change, are scanned thoroughly
eacu day for more light on the subject.
Mr.. Whitmire, the present editor,
remains dumb, but it is known he
has voluntarily rendered his resignation,
which, 1T is thought, will take effect on May
l. Numbers of rumors are being circu-
lated as to the cause of the change, tue most
probable Of which is this: Rev. Mex. +.
McCook, formerly pastor of the Brunswick
Methodist church and later of Vineville
church. Macon, has, on account Of fail
ing health, been forced to retire
from the pulpit tie numbered
his Brunswick friends by scores, among
them several directors of the Times. They
wanted him to return to Brunsni k, and as
an ind cement the Times directors offered
him their editorship OF their paper. The
salary they waited to pay, however, would
not warrant Mr.. McCook's coming, aud an
extra amount was expected to be secured
by giving him the secretary ship of the board
OF trade, the Times directors presuming
that the prevent efficient secretary, Capt.
J. s. Thomas woull, resign.

OTHERS AFTER THE PLACE.

But others, learning Of Capt. Thomas
probable action, decided that they would
also like the position, which pays about $50
per month, and they began canvassiug
am ong tae board of trade directors. Rev.
McCook's friends, realizing that one candi-
date, MIR. W. F. Pennimal, would prove a
formidable opponent, decided to prop Sc
division of salary with him
whichever was elected, aud, this PROPOSE 40
being accepted, plain sailing seemed abe ID
But instead other candid stes cropped out,
and the campaign became exciting. To
cap the whole matter Capt. Thomas finally
decided not to resign, and all plans were
knocked in the head. The people now want
to know what effect Capt Thomas action
will have on the Times directors,
whether they will increase their lid
for Rev. McCook's services and accept
Mr.. Whltmirs's resignation or let the
paper continue with It's present force.
In JueticS TO Mr.. Whitmire it is well to
say thatyin interviewing many promi MT
citIzsns, the NEWS correspondent heard OF
no objections to his work on the Times, but
instead quite the ntrary.

IN RETIREMENT.
Mrs. Polk had become a communicate
of the Presbyterian Church in 1884. AS
time passed, her grief over her hus-
bands death was softened, but society
had lost its charm and the two score
years of her after life were passed in re-
tirement and devotion, which became
more and more ascetic In its character.
AS she longed for suitable companion
ship in the lonely hours, she many years
ago adopted niece, who always there
after remained beneath her roof. She
was always treated with the respect and
honor to which her former exalted sta
ton entitled her, and for many years
the legislature of Tennessee visited her
in body on New Years Day. Dele
gates Of Masons, Odd Fellows, Sons Of
Temperance and members of the Cen
eral Assembly Of Presbyterians also
often sought for an introduction TO Polk
Place to pay their respects 10 its cele-
brated mistress. President Cleveland,
in his tour Of the Western States in 1887,
had the honor of being received by her
and of presenting his fair young wife.
THE CIVIL WAR.
The calm, monotonous quiet into
which Mrs. Folks life had settled was
broken by the civil war. All her SYM
pathies were with the Confederates;
with her birth and training it could
hardly have been otherwise. In those
troublous days Mrs. Folks great per-
sonal dignity never forsook her. Shit
welcomed the Confederate officers to
her home, babe them godspeed in their
efforts for separation, and was buoyed
up by the hope that success would
crown their efforts in the end. But in
February of 1869 she had the humilia-
ton Of seeing Nashville occupied by the
Union troops, while Murfreesboro, her
native place, became battlefield
whereon victory was with the Union
side. When General Sherman and other
Union officers paid their respects TO her
they were treated with politeness, per-
haps little cold and formal, but strict
and stately politeness still.
The war swept away part of Mrs.
Folks large property, but she was still
able to live at Polk Place In the style to
which she had been used. Congr ess
paid her the pension granted to the
WIDOWS oil PRESIDENTS, and by common
consent of all parties the interest on her
little fortune in Tennessee state bonds
was exempted from reputation.
THE POLK PLACE.
II was recently stated that nearly
$4,000 in taxes was due upon Polk
Place and that the house and grounds
had been advertised to be sold. The
property is very valuable and Mrs. Polk,
it is believed, was abundantly able to
pay the taxes, while it was hardly pos
sibe that she could be ignorant that they
were in arrears. Under the peculiar
will of Mr.. Polk, who was anxious to
keep the property in the family, the
mansion was bequeathed to the state, to
be held in trust for the benefit and oc-
cupation of his nearest of kin alive, the
occupant of the house always to keep
il in repair and pay the taxes. 1t
is commended that should the property
be sold to some outside party for taxes
and deed be made, this would defeat
the terms Of the will and the state could
not carry out the trust imposed upon il.

Two swimmers Who Feared TO Assist
Their Helpless Companion,


SALISBURY, MD, Aug. IA sad
drowning occurred in the Salisbury har-
Dor this morning. William ii. Corkran
lookout man on the steamer Enoch
Pratt, with two companions, undressed
themselves for a dip in the Wicomico
river The steamer was lying at the
Maryland Steamboat Company's pier,
and the men reached the water from the
wheel-house No sooner had young
Corkran taken the plunge than he be-
gan to cry for help, being unable to
swim. His companions We're in the
water ahead of him, and hestated to
take hold OF him, fearing he would drag
them down under the surface. They
called for help, and after while sue
ceeded la attracting the attention of
others. The young man had in the
meantime sunk and risen several times,
and just us man reached ont to succor
him he sank for the last time and
drowned in the presence Of many spec
tators
Several salboats and thcstate steamer
McLane were lying near by with their
crews on board Strangely enough all
these people, as well as the crew Of the
Frat, thought the men were only play
ing in the water and not In need of as
sistance. The body was recovered. Drs.
olemons and Todd attempted to resusci-
tate ii, but TO 10 purpose. a Jury Of
inquest was held, and it was found that
death was accidental. The young man
was a son Of Captain Corkran Of the

a modern gun or shell fired off upon the
quadrangle within the old fort all the
interior buildings, with the embrasures,
parapets and other structures would
collapse and tall to pieces. The shell
of the old structure is yet magnificent
piece of cut granite work. 1t is to all
appearances as strong as the day it was
built.
AS military structure it is of course,
under modern ideas, entirely useless, in
fact as fort, more dangerous to those
inside than to the bombarding party.
Within the past month it has been
officially visited by United States en-
gineer who, it is understood, reported
that the structure is not worth repairing
and that it would cost less to build a
new fort.
We all know, all Delawareans at
least, that Fort Delaware is not garri-
soned fort. 1t is in sole charge of a
on-commissioned officer, Ordnance
Sergeant WEIGH, who lives secluded
and very lonely life there with his
family.
PEA PATCH BELONGS TO DELAWARE.
In regard to this matter Uncle Sam is
not acting up to his contract with the
State of Delaware. Were Justice done,
Pea Peatch Island, on which the fort is
| situated, would or should be given back
Immediately to the State.
This State ceded the possession to the
| government on the distinct proviso that
il maintain garrisoned fort there. This
the government has failed to do for
many years.
AT the war department there are two
classes of forts recognized, the garrisoned
and the ungarrisoned forts. The former
are defined as being in charge of com
missioned officer and given number OF
men. Under the contract by which the
United States government obtained Fort
Delaware, the building and the island
are actually now the property of this
State.
We would be glad to have it for a
penal colony. If for nothing else to
dcport our criminals, incorrigible drunks
tramps and other chronic nuisances
from the jails of New Castle, Kent and
Sussex. We could furnish "A population
of about 400 on an average the yeai
around. This would be much better
than as it is with Uncle Sans one lonely
ordnance sergeant.
| y
Of War has some difficulty IN finding
eastern stations for some of his regi
mcnts. All Delaware would gladly
welcome the presence of few com
panies of regulars in the old fort oil
even at "New Fort Opposite" Many Of
the old residents remember the sprightly
happy times the presence of Uncle Sans
regulars brought to Wilmington, to Del
aware City, in fact to the whole region
around in bygone times.
If the government would only keer
its bargain and establish garrisoned
fort there would be no talk here of re
annexing Pea Patch Island to Diamond
State territory. 1t is possible, however
that if the United States government
does not take heed and give us some
military recognition reprisals will be il
order and Delaware will press her right
full claim TO old Pea Patch.
