Their Departure From Savannah a Notnble Scene. When the Horsa sailed the other day from Savannah for Liberia with 200 ne- groes on board the scene was an interest- ing one. Early in the morning negroes from all sections of the county began to gather near the dock to see their brethren start for Africa. By 10 o’clock upward of 5,000 had assembled. The scene was Pathetic. Men and women of all ages, children from four years of age upward and one or two cripples, all joined in prayer and hymns, making a scene never to be forgotten by those present. It required over three hours to load the baggage, household effects and_ provisions ef the negroes. The emigrants carry with them a large quantity of baggage. Nearly 400 trunks and boxes were taken on the ship. A few were put in the hold, but the bulk were left on the deck until room ie made below by the consumption of the coal. In the boxes are agricultural implements, firearms, ammunition, household utensils and supplies of clothing, besides one or two wagons. This party will probably be the best equipped that has ever left America for the dark continent. They spent considerable money purchasing supplies of all kinds. There was probably not a man in the party who has not sufficent to provide subsist- ence for some time after landing in Li- beria. Promptly at 1 o'clock the steamer left the dock amid great cheering by the 5,000 ne- groes who were waiting to see it start. The following song, composed by one of the emigrants, was sung as the ship went down the river: “Father, mother, darling child, I must bid you all adieu; Old Africa’s shores I long to see; Dearest friend, farewell, farewell. “Oh, let me go; I cannot stay; - My native land, farewell to thee. Hark! I hear the master say, ‘Up, you reapers; why so slow? In Africa’s vineyard work today.” Besides the colonists and crew there were three white men who took passage—E. B. Cottingham, secretary of the society; J. P. Lasnester and William Crossman of Bir- mirgham, Ala. The latter two expect to locate at Monrovia. —— Postponed the Duel. Col. Harry I. Thornton, who died recent- ly in Fresno, Cal., was a popular officer in the confederate army. A story has follow- ed him from the battlefields which il- lustrates his character. During his~rapid rise from the ranks he incurred the jealousy and enmity of one of the officers of the regiment, and a quarrel was the re- sult, They were separated before they got to open hostilities, but a few moments later Col. Thornton received a challenge to settle the difficulties by a duel. Thornton replied that, in his opinion, the confederacy re- quired the services of both of them very much at that particular time, but if the challenger would wait until the‘cause of their army was either won or lost he would be ready to give the gentleman any satis- faction he pleased. It was a year after that before Gen. Lee surrendered and the war closed. That day Col. Thornton sent a note to his adversary to the effect that he was prepared to accept the challenge. The same carrier brought back a message of apology. ——___-e+______ The Ivy's Poison. The active principle of the poison ivy has been supposed by a German physiologist to be a substance called by him toxicodendric acid. But Dr, Franz Pfaff and Mr. S. B. Orr’ have reported to the American Phys- iological Society that this substance proves to be not poisonous, and thaf the effects of poison ivy are really due to a non-volatile oil, which they have isolated. This oll produces the well-known eruption on the skin. As preventive treatment they rec- ommend clean‘ng the skin from the oil by thorough washing with soap and water, or, better still, with an alcoholic solution of lead acetate. —-ce0— One Menning of’ the Eclipse. It is claimed by Prof. Totten, the some- what famous astronomer of New Haven, Conn., that the recent eclipse will mark the “true lunar anniversary of the crucifix- icon of Christ." Some French astronomers have calculated that on Good Friday next, April 12, the heavenly bodies that gravitate around the sun will be in exactly the same position they occupied in the heavens on the day Christ died on the cross. This con- clusion Prof. Totten denies, and in an ab- struse argument, bristling with facts drawn from astronomy and prophecy, points out its errors. From his calculations Prof. ‘Totten concludes that the crucifixion oc- curred on “Thursday, March 17, 20 A. D., which was the fourteenth day of Nisan in the sixteenth year of Tiberius Caesar,” and which he declares was 1,866 solar years ago. ——+e0____ Depew’s New Story. From the New York Telegram. Chauncey M. Depew has a new story—one which he won't tell the next time he goes to Chicago. Here it is: “There was once a prominent man in Chicago, who, like all others out there, had a very exalted opinion of his town. He died, and when he reached his eternal home, he looked about him with much sur- prise, and said to the attendant who had opened the gate to him: ‘Really, this does great credit to Chicago. I expected some change in heaven.’ “The attendant eyed the Chicagean a second, and then observed: ‘This isn’t heaven.’ ” SUBURBAN NEWS| “ANACOSTIA. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Johnson of East Washington Heights have as their guest Rev. W.C. Rogers of Crisfield, Md. Already interest is being shown in the politicalcontest to be made next fall in Maryland and,Prince George's county. It has been announced that Joseph Wilson, member of ‘the house of delegates, will be the democratic, candidate for district ut- torney, and Mr. Belt, a prominent republi- can, wile candidate for county clerk. Within the last few days workmen have been busy on the county roads, and for the first time -since the big storm they are now in excellent condition. A new phase bas been put on the project- ed. railroad which will run on the Hamilton road and-is chartered to cross the Ana- costia river in the vicinity of Giesboro’. It is rumored. that the intention of the managers of- the railroad scheme is to interest the government sufficiently to war- rant the running of the line to Indian Head, which will open up an entirely «ew section of the county and facilitate trans- portation to that point. Congress Heights, the town that the road will run through, is already assuming an alr of improvemeni, and over thirty residences are projected for the more advanced spring. Mr. H. T..Graves of Anacostia, who was recently sworn into office by Justice Car- roll W. Smith as chief clerk of the Indfan school at Fort Mojave, Ariz., left for bis distant ‘field. of duty this morning. The school to which Mr. Graves has been as- signed is one of the largest under govern- ment control, having, besides a superin- tendent, a large corps of teachers und about 400 pupils. Mr. Graves said that his family will not leave Anacostia to join him for at least a year. Mineola Tribe, No. 21, Improved Order of Red Men, held an interesting meeting last night at Masonic Hall.

The jury in the Elks case, at Cleveland yesterday, came into court shortly be- fore noon, and reported that they were unable to agree on a verdict, and asked that they be discharged. Judge Ham- mond said that they must again retire, and either bring in a verdict or unanimously re- port their inability to reach an agreement. It is understood that the point of differ- ence is on the value of the paraphernalia of the order. It was appraised at $300. Several of the jurors, it is said, cannot agree that its sentimental value and special significance makes it worth $2,000, which is done in order to keep the case in court. Already the members of the Grand Lodge have concluded terms of peace. They have agreed to a plan whereby both factions will be united and harmony will again pre- vail. Part of this plan includes the resig- nation of both sets of officers and the se- lection of others. . —_—+e+_____ They Will Make It a Field Day.
