ably yesterday 1t was the Grand Duchess
first Sunday in port. and people, many of
whom have no other time for pleasure
than a Sunday afternoon, as well as 9TH

new steamer.
1t is estimated that more than 1000 peo-
pie went over her during the afternoon.
and at one time there were as many as
500 or 600 people on the ship. She was in
her usual condition, everything ship-shape,
and as neat as a pin. Capt. Hanion, Capt.
Doughty, the pursers, Messrs. Faver and
Patton, and the other officers piloted a
good many parties of ladies through the
ship, and showed them all the points of in
terest. Everyone who saw her became
forthwith an admirer, and she will no
doubt carry a great many Savannahians
north before she is many months older.

go down in the records as one of extra
ordinarily small railway earnings, when
the increased mileage is taken into con-

though some of the roads had to report
decreases in earnings, the aggregate was

A MIGHTY METEOR

Tucson, AriZ., Aug. 1S-Dr. F. NJ.
Smith Of Hagerstown, Md, and a
party Of mining men, who have just
arrived from the Ripsey mines, report
the fall Of an immense meteor, which
struck the desert about two miles
north of Halls ranch, and about the
same distance south of the RipSey
mines. Ii fell on Sunday night, the
9th inst. about o'clock. Members of
the party who camped at Halls say
the concussion was terrible. CupbOardS
were upset, dishes were thrown Oh the
floor and the house trembled as leaf.
The noise was like that Of many
cannon fired simultaneously. The air
for miles around was filled with sui
phurous gases, and the meteor came

meXicans, together with about 1,200
sheep, went down under the mighty
mass. Maj. Thomas Hayes Of Louis

overcome by the phenomenon.

the power of tongue or pen to accur-

Senator Jones.
Iryington, n. Y, Aug. Is. = 10 the
itenary already published, Democratic
Candidate Bryan has added Baltimore
and st. Louis. The fact that Balt-
more has been added at the special re-
ouest of Senator German is evidence
that pleasant relations exist between
Mr.. BRYAN and the Maryland senator,
and that Mr.. Bryan will assist Senator
German in his Maryland campaign III
return for assistance from the senator.
Mr.. Bryan was trifie annoyed by the
story that he and Senator Jones were
at logserheads over the choice of ma
tionaI headquarters. He intlmated
that while he favored Chicago person
ally. he had not demanded its selec-
ton, but had left the choice to num-
Der of Democratic leaders, among
them Gov. Stone, Mr.. SewaH, Senator
Jones and Gov. Altgeld, and that the
majority had decided on the Western
city. Washington, he said, would nave
q branch, and Senator German would
do good deal of work there, III tact,
as much as he could, in view OF the
demands Of his own campaign. Inc
programme of Mr.. Bryan, after his va
cation, includes speeches in Buffalo,
Erie, Cleveland, Baltimore and st.
Louis. 1t is undecided whether the
proposed second New York speech
shall be made before Mr.. Bryan goes
West or when he returns to speak III
New England He siad that it rested
with the campaign committee to decide
whether he speaks in New York again.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, Mr.. Sewall and
Mr.. and Mrs. O. J. Smith went for a
drive. They visited many of the
places made famous by the pen OF
Washington Irving, saw the monu-
ment erected to the memory Of the
captors of Maj. Andre, and saw the
authors grave in Sleepy Hollow GEM
etery. At the dinner there were pres
ent Albert Shaw, editor of Review OF
Reviews, and William r. Hearst. Mr..
Bryan said that he had decided to
leave for Red Hook in the morning,
going by boat to Poughkeepsie and
thence by train. Asked whether Gov
AItgeld would take an active part in
the campaign, Mr.. Bryan said: "The
executive or campaign committee will
decide that, and not the opposition
press"
Present arrangements for Mr.. Bry-
ans Western trip are that he will go
from Cleveland direct to Lincoln,
where he will remain a few days. Then
he will make a trip to st. Louis and
through Missouri and the South.

broken open with an axe. Ritter was
jumping out of a window. The victim
had her throat cut. her face hacked to
pieces, anu a knife blade was sticking
in her temple. She was still alive, but
cannot live until night. Ritter called
at an engine house and told of Whar
he had done, and asked the 1iremen to
call the patrol wagon. Jealousy was
the cause.

a Rare Palm.

A palm. which is said to have cost
$50, 600, was recently imported by Miss
Gould and placed in her conservatory
at Tarrytown. One of the New York
papers prints a description of the
plant. which is of the species Rayenala
Madagascarienses from the forests OF
Madagascar. A much finer specimen
of this palm, however, is owned by
Richard Y. Cook of this city, and may
be seen at his Lansdowne residence.
Mr.. Cook has owned it for many years.
1t was imported from Madagascar in
1876, is now thirty feet in height and
is probably 100 years old. When III
bloom It bears from three to five flow
ers of enormous size. Mr.. Cook is dis
posed to doubt the reported cost of
Miss Gould's plant, for, while they are
very valuable they may be imported
at a much smaller figure, although it
would be difficult to transport one as
large as hers is reputcd to be.-Phila-
