That Goods Box Mystery.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, March 24.-The mys-
terry of the dry goods box found by
Compton Mccoy floating down the Mis-
souri, river has not yet been solved.
Coroner Reynolds made an investiga-
tion and found there were six bodies
instead of fve-four being men and two
females. The remains were SO badly
decomposed that it was impossible to
tell if there were wounds on the bodies
By some it is supposed that the bodies
were placed in the box and thrown into
the river by some medical college
Nothing can be learned OF the emigrants
who disappeared from Rulo. The in

years planting on the same ground, the
soil will give out, and absolutely refuse to
produce this delicious and remuner-
ative summer fruit, is disturbing our
people. Soon the land within reach of the
railroad will all have been planted, and
then, unless some remedy is found, the
industry must cease. There is some sub

LOVES AND SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

The Gear Hates All Ceremony-Nei-
Their Soldier, Sailor Nor Diplomat.
The correspondent of the London Times
in Paris says that the French will be
greatly disappointed if they think that
general or admiral, as an ambassador in
St. Petersburg, will be more successful in
getting the ear of the car than plain
citizen. The fact is, he says, that the
car never gives an audience. He then
continues; This man, who disposes of
one of the Vastest empires in the world,
before whom everything falls down
whom no one resists for whom it is
enough that he should raise a little finger
to set in movement millions land mil
lions of men, is neither a soldier
nor a sailor nor a diplomat. l might
add that he is almost what is known here
as a bourgeois. He has a horror of fetes,
he detests ceremonies, he loves neither
military nor naval reviews. He adores
his family and is contented only with
them. He is not one of those Russians
who are half savage, half Machiavel, he
is rather a simple mujik, a lover of truth
and a speaker of it. When he returns to
St. Petersburg he bids the diplomatic
corps not to come to meet him. When he
presides perfOrce at review, he leaves
the field as soon as possible and is
for he does not like it. At Co
penhagen his greatest pleasure consist
ed in going out in a short coat and a soft
hat, mlngling with the pedestrians who
pretended not to recognize him, and in
taking a cab. Indeed, he once amused
himself in a very odd fashion, he and all
of his family taking tram car to 90 into
the country. In politics as in everything
else the cars ideas are simple He is
not communicative because he does not
know how to develop his thoughts. He
has never spoken for five consecutive
minutes in his life When he is in Dem
mark or in the Crimea, as his govern
ment accompanies him, he devotes half
an hour day to signing papers, and that
constitutes the only business. The mill
tary attaches see him at the reviews. but
there is no possible chance of converse
ton with him. An ambassador may see
him when ball is given in his honor,
but he can have no conversation with
him; or he may see him at a ball at
another ambassadors, or at some small
court reception, but these occasions are
rare"

AMATEURS PLAY THIS WEEK
The Guards to Meet the Jasper Green's
and the OgIethorpes, of Augusta.

There Will be no league ball games in
Savannah this week, but the amateurs
will endeavor to interest the public. The
Guards team has had long rest, and is
anxious to play ball again.
Thursday the Guards will meet the
Irish Jasper Greens team at the base
ball park. The Guards will play their
old team, which everybody knows to be
good one, while the Greens are believed TO
have very strong team. In fact, it is
generally believed that the Greens will
give the Guards the hardest battle they
have had on the home diamond this sea
son.
Saturday afternoon the Guards will
play their second game with the Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry team Of Augusta.
The first game with the Oglethorpes was
played in Augusta about a month ago,
and the Guards were badly worsted.
They gained some points by their defeat,
however, and hope to gain victory this
time
There is considera BILE interest in both
games, and they will probably be largely
attended. II will be no easy task for the
Guards 20 maintain their laurels, as they
have two strong teams to contend against.

OF THE TRYoN FAM11Y.
A Descendant of the Last Colonial
Governor Of New York.


Referring TO the death of the late Vice
Admiral Tryon, recently lost on the Vic
toria, it will be interesting to Torontonians
to learn that one of the Tryon family is
AT present living in Toronto. Mrs. Bailey,
wife of John c. Bailey, civil engineer, of
2ll Carlton street. Lord William Tryon
of upper Grosvenor street, London, was
appointed governor of the provinces of
of New York and North Carolina. His
brother, Sir David Tryon, also lived in
New York and this latter was the great
grandfather of Mrs. Bailey, now living
in Toronto and who has all the documents
and many interesting particulars of the
Tryon family, as great deal of cores
pondence has been going on for many
years relating to property both in New
York and London
Sir David Tryon lived near Middletown,
Conn, the family residence being still
standing, and there Mrs Bailey's mother
was born and lived. Sir David owned
valuable silver and lead mines at that
place, from which the lead was obtained
to make bullets by the revolutionary par
ty to defeat the English.
Last year relic of the Tryon family in
the shape Of table 800 years old was sent
to Mrs. Bailey. 1t belonged to the wife
Of Sir David TryOn. One of Mrs. Bailey's
sons bears the family name, Eugene Try.

lar road gets its short cut from Savan-

gins the running of through vestibule
trains from New York via the Richmond

the latter being in its possessions, it will
be obliged to locate shops either IN Sa-

shops only at Tallahassee, Fla, the termi-
nus of the line. These shops will have to
be built and put in operation by October,
and from all that can be ascertained the
authorities of the road would prefer to
have them located at Columbia, provided
the city will offer a sufficient site.

They Have Ever Been.
Savannah's sanitary condition is better
now, the sanitary authorities say, than it
has been for several years, and no cleaner
city can be found in the country. The
thorough overhauling given the streets
and lanes early in the spring put every
thing in tirst-class order, and that work
has been followed closely by the depart

This stringent surveillance has resulted

Mayor McDonOugh says there is no
ground for complaint from any quarter
about sanitation.
The dry culture department has done
excellent work in the last few months,
draining Hutchinson's Island, and in the
southeastern and southwestern parts of
the city. The jackson street, ReynOld' S
street and Sixth street bitches have been
50 improved that the heaviest rains leave
no water behind them. The Springfield
plantation bitches, running into HOgg
sewer, west of the Ogeechee canal, have
been graded so as to carry off all the
swamp water. Bilbo canal has also been
looked after, and is now in as good condi-
ton as it ever can be put.
Taken as a whole the work of the street
and lane and dry culture departments has
been such as to leave no doubt that the
sanitary conditions of Savannah have
been and will continue to be greatly i'm

say they never expected to see such a

five persons have Joined the different
churches, and gambling and drinking are
almost stopped. AS one consequence of
the meeting every member of the Irwin
Guards except three before leaving
for the encampment signed an
agreement to have no gamb-

Nearly $500 was raised by the grateful
people for the evangelist, besides which
some unknown benefactor sent him a
check for $500 with which TO buy new

THE SUITS DISMISSED.
The Mercantile Trust Company Will
Not Ash For Judgment.

1t Did Not Care to Pay Costs on
$4,000 900 Suit on Central Deben-
lures Some Other Reasons WHY the
Company Did Not Press Its Case The
Suit to a Certain Extent Served Its
Purpose.
The Mercantile Trust company, Of New
York, has had the suits against the Cen
trial Railroad and Banking company, on
50 0i0, 200 of certificates of indebtedness
brought by it in the city court, dis
missed
The suits We're dismissed on a motion
made before Judge Mac Donell in the city
court yesterday morning, by Messrs.
Garrard, Meldrim and Newman, attor-
neys for the Mercantile Trust company.
There are a number of reasons for the
dismissal of these suits. In the first place
it was concluded that it would be of no
use to obtain Judgment on the deben-
lures since Justice Jackson's decision de
creeing a sale of the road A Judgment
would do the holders of the debentures no
good so far as the claim which they rep
resent is concerned.
SERVED THE PURPOSE.
The amount to a certain extent served
its purpose, which was to have the &C
counts of the road marshaled into court
and to hasten decree of foreclosure in or
der to aid the reorganization plan, which
was 10 have gone into effect on July l.
| These debeuture suits precipitated the bill
! of Alexander, Brown q Sons, which had
tendency to bring matters to head and
to hasten the winding up of the litiga
ton So Indirectly they accomplished
| their object. Then, too, the Mercantile
Trust Company could have filed bill
which would have had a similar effect
after they had obtained q Judgment and
become a Judgment creditor. The Alex
ander Brown bill, or rather some of the
features, would have made this course
unnecessary.
THE FAILURE OF THE HOLLINs PLAN.
The failure of the Hollins plan of reor-
ganization, perhaps also made it unnec-
essary to press these suits to a Judgment,
which, under Justice jackson S decision,
would have been of no avail, but would
only have involved the compliments in a
heavy bill of costs, which, under the cir
| cumstances, they did not care to
incur. The Mercantile Trust Company
had the right to press the suits to judg
ment if they so desired, but under the
! circumstances they saw fit to have them
dismissed.
The other suits are still before the
court, and the individual holders may
press the suits for judgments on them.
