An Interesting and Important Eject
ment Case.
The case of John Doe, ex dem. Gazaway L.
MHledge vs. Richard Roe, i. e., Jane Bryan,
an ejectment suit, which has just been con
tinued for the term in the Superior Court,
as will be observed by the proceedings else
where, possesses considerable interest to
our people. It is stated that the litiga
tion has virtually suspended all improve
ments in that quarter of the city where the
property is located, and the reeult is anx
iously awaited by many persons who have
bought these lots and desire to build upon
them. The facts concerning the case, as we
obtain them, are as follows :
In 1853 Mrs. Mary MHledge, then the
owner of Farm lot No. 1, Tyrconuel tyth-
Ing, conveyed the eame to John W. Ander
son, Francis 8. Bartow and C. A. L. Lamar,
in trust, to sell eo much of the same as
might be necessary to pay her a certain 6um
in money and to discharge a certain debt
secured by mortgage on the land, and the
residue of the laud was to be held in trust
for Mrs. Catherine MHledge, the wife of
John MHledge, and their children.
In 1857 Messrs. Anderson. Bartow and La
mar resigned as trustees, and upon a petition
filed by Mre. Catherine MHledge and her chil
dren, represented by their next friend, Judge
Fleming (who was then Judge) appointed
John Milledge, the husband and father re
spectively of Mrs. Catherine Milledge and
her children, the trustee in the place of
those who had resigned. Soon after John
Milledge’s appointment as trustee, Mrs.
Catherine Milledge and her children, who
were represented by their next friend, John
C. Snead, E«q., filed a bill in equity against
him, alleging that there were two debts due
by the estate amounting to sixteec
hundred dollars, and that money was needed
to educate the children, and they prayed
that the Chancellor (who was our present
Judge) would, by a decree, authorize John
Milledge, as trustee, to borrow the necessary
amount, acd secure the same b7 mortgage
on the property. John Milledge answered
the bill, admitting its allegations, and there
upon Judge Fleming passed a decree au
thorizing the trustee to raise the requi
site sum bv borrowing and securing
the lender by mortgage on the land.
Mr. Joseph Burke thereupon loaned John
Milledge, as trustee, £4,100, and took
a mortgage on the land. The debt not being
paid at maturity, the mortgage was fore
closed and the property was sold, the late
Joseph Bryan becoming the purchaser. His
wife, Mrs. Bryan, became the owner of the
property at his death, and had it surveyed
and laid off into lots. She sold a great
number of these lying between the Park ex
tension on the we6t, Anderson street on the
south, Bolton street lane on the north and
running neaily to the line of Lincoln street
on the east. Many of these lots were bought
bv parties who built on them, and In
jS71 Gazaway L. Milledge, one of the
children of John and Catherine Milledge,
brought suit against Mrs. Jane Bryan and
parties who had purchased from her, some
forty or fifty in number, to recover his inter
est, being one-fiflh of the entire property,
averring that the proceedings had upon the
bill and answer filed by his father and
mother were void and the decree
thereon without authority. This case
was tried in the Superior Court,
and upon review by the Supreme Court
the decree under which the mortgage
was made was held void. Since then, other
pleas have been filed by the defendants,
raising various important issues, and the
case against Mrs. Bryan haviDg been called
on Wednesday, was started, and on Thurs
day Milledge’s attorneys made a motion to
6trike the pleas filed by Mrs. Bryan’s attor
neys. After argument, Judge Fleming
overruled the motion to strike the pleas,
when Milledge’s attorneys claimed that they
desired time to get additional evidence to
rebut the allegations in the new pleas, and
asked a continuance, which the court grant

The Revival Work at Trinity H. E
Church.
Notwithstanding the very Inclement and
disagreeable weather of yesterday the 6er
vices at Trinity Church, morning and even
ing, were attended by a goodly number of
the faithful, In whose hands and through
whose exertions the revival work which has
been going on for several weeks past has"
been committed by the Head of the Church.
The nine o’clock service was conducted
by Kev. Dr. Mann, who. after reading and
commenting upon the Apoetle £aul’ 8 prayer
for the church, alluding especially to the
value of Importuning r'»>er on the part of
Christian*, gave a resume of his own re
ligious experience. He said that to-day was
the anniversary of hie new birth. Forkysl 1
years ego, on the 8th day of April, he was
graciously converted to God, during a revi
val at the college in which he was a student;
that he well remembered the time, and all
the J.-cumstances. That revival was brought
about by a fes- of the students who had
formed themselves Into a prayer meeting,
and who had united their prayers that God’s
spirit wight be poured out ou the Institu
tion. Their prayers were answered, and a
tide of religious feeling swept over the
college abseirbing every cither interest. The
regular exercises of the Institution were
suspended, and God’s name glorified in the
salvation of many souls, the speaker’s among
the number. For forty-six years he had
been trying to serve his Master. He had
long since placed his life In the bands of
his Master, and looked forward to the time
when liod should say, “It la enough. Come
up higher."
Others related their happy experience In
God’s service, one sister, eighty years old,
testifying to the delights of a Christian life
and the bright hopes of a Christian’s future.
The Quarterly Conference of the Tarious
Methodist charges in Savannah was conven

TUE UNION SOCIETY.
The Approaching Anniversary—A
Few Words About Bethesda.
Btithesda, the Home of Mercy, estab
lished over a century and a quarter ago, in
obedience to the noblest impulses of hu
manity, has ever been the pride and glory
of Savannah, in whose history it stands
prominent as one of the grandest
charities conceived by man, and the
approaching celebration of its 130th anni
versary, on the 23d of this month, renders
proper a retrospective glance at the good
accomplished through the ministrations of
the Union Society, under whose manage
ment It is conducted. It originated in chari
ty, and with the utmost fidelity on the same
disinterested principle has its mission been
executed.
In the earlier days of the society, under
more prosperous circumstances, its means
were not confined exclusively to the educa
tion and care of the youth under its charge,
but were extended in a liberal manner to
other benevolent associations and purposes.
Its riches consisted emphatically of good
deeds, liberal charities and bountiful alms.
In an interesting address delivered
before the society at its anniversary
in April, 1833, by * Rev. Willard Preston,
the statement was made that it had been
impossible to ascertain exactly the number
of the beneficiaries of the society, though
udou the data obtained, It was estimated
that the number was about nine hundred.
In some years committees appoint
ed to ascertain proper objects
for receiving the charities of the society
reported that not an individual was found
who was not receiving them. Such are-
port was made as late as 1807, notwithstand
ing the increased population of the city
then. Formerly no distinction was made
between male and female orphans—both
received assistance as necessity required.
This continued until the institution of the
Female Asylum, in ISOl.when, after making
a liberal donation to that institution, its
bounties were exclusively applied to the
education and entire support of boys, and
most nobly has this work been performed.
Necessarily the society, whose career has
extended over such a long period, has euf
fered in the loss of income through depre
ciation of property and securities: yet it has
survived all reverses, and, although not
in as flourishing a condition to-day
as could be desired, has a greater number
of boys under its charge than at any pre
vious time in its history. The training of
these boys for lives of usefulness and
honor requires a large expenditure of
money, and the gratification at the enlarge
ment of the grand work should stimulate
a renewed and hearty support upon the part
of our people. The membership should be
increased, and dues should be promptly
paid, as the maintenance of the institution
exceeds its present limited income, every
dollar of which is judiciously and
carefully expended under management
that zealously guards Its iu! crests.
The coming anniversary, then, is a fitting
time for our citizens, who appreciate the
grandeur of the society’s work, to come
forward and testify their interest by enroll
ing themselves as members. The dues are
only five dollars perarnum, and this amount,
promptly paid by all the members, would
be of material nsristance in carrying on the
useful work. The exhibit the society will
make on the 23d will be the best evident **
that its resources have been applied
to the greatest advantage. The occa
sion promises to be of more than
usual attraction, as our worthy Governor,
His Excellency Alfred II. Colquitt, iu a
letter expressive of the kindliest interest in
and highest admiration for the work of the
society, has accepted an invitation to dc
liver the anniversary address, and other
arrangements have been made that will in
vest the occasion with great Interest to all
who have the future of Bethesda at heart.
It were needless to say more, as we are
sure that even in these busy times, when
there is so much to distract attention, all
that i» required to awakeu the former inter
est in this coble institution is to thus briefly
allude to the great good that has been
accomplished through its < fforts. •
We trust, therefore, ere the dawn of the
anniversary day, to hear of a large increase
in the membership of the society, and to
s**e at the celebration the large throngs that
have in previous years filled the beautiful
grove3 of Bethesda.
St. Patrick’* Pair.
Despite the very unfavorable weather, the
attendance at the fair last evening was quite
large, and the cheerful brightness of the
hall was in pleasant contrast to the gloomy
night without.
The table of Mrs. M. J. Reilly and Mrs.
J. M. B. Lovell was a popular resort for the
visitors, both on account of its intrinsic
beauty and the attractive ladies who are
connected with it. The fine monogram
lady’s watch is an article of very superior
beauty, as alsathe silver vases, which arc
a recent donation. The flags which are to
be voted the most popular pilot boat promise
to roll np a very large vote. At tbis table
was raffled a wbite worsted shawl, won by
Miss Winnie McGlofn.
Next in order comes the popular shooting
gallery of Messrs. Keogh and O’Brien, with
ils beautiful scenery, ana wbicn w^s, as
usual, very popular, as wa* also the gallery
of Messrs. I.amotie and 0’B?rne ; diagonally
across the hall.
At table No. 5 Mrs. Prendergaat and
Miss Devanny, we were shown a
handsome pipe and cigar holder, made
of the bog oak of old Ireland.
Mr. E. J. Kennedy’s liberality manifests it
self in an order donated to this table for a
handsome suit of clothes, to be made at his
establishment: and to Mrs. F. M. Myers the
ladies return tuanics far tji^ flower Girl, a
very handsome doll.
At table No. 4, Mrs. James O’Byrne, a
very tine large geranium is much admired,
and the donations of a fine meerschaum pipe
bv Mrs. Gao. W- ^errrect, of the Screven
House, and an elegant .ot^rnc of '^aulei
O’Connell’s Life, by Mr. E. M. Cbnnor,
are very desirable articles. A beautiful
cake was ra.lied and won by Mr. James Be*
rase.
At Miss Ellen Rankin’s booth are the
books for the excursion tickets unlimited
to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and
Florida. Here is also the gold headed cane
which the votes will award to the most
popular stevedore.
At Fa’her O’Hara’s table. No. 3, is an
ther gbld headed cane, to be voted the most
popular Alderman. The niekle plated por
trait of I*io Nono is very handsome, arid the
complete 6et of bedroom furniture ig rap
idly filling Its book. At this table will be
raffled this evening, at 10 o’clock, that
handsome white shawl donated by Miss
K*to Lavin.
At the Sodality table.No. 2,we were shown
a bird cage cast in white metal. Mr. Dillon,
a brass moulder at the shops of the Savan
nah, Florida aud Western railway, has
accomplished the extraordinary, and per
haps unexampled, feat of moulding this
cage around a live canary, and the cheerful
little fellow in his barred prison house sug
gests to us the puzzle that perplexed the
EnglLh King as to the apple and the dump
ling. We were told that the little bird
remained in tbe ej*nd where the metal was
placed during the process of mouldipg for
♦.he space of thirty minutes, air being convey
ed underground to him by means of a tube.
A cake basket was won at this table by J.
J. McMahon, Jr., and a group of rabbits by
Miss Nellie McAlpin. Tho panorama, with
magic lantern, connected with this table
and found in the northeastern room of the
Cathedral basement, is very popular, ef-
pecially with the children.
At the star table. No. 1, the ladies desire
to return thanks for the swinging pitcher
and goblets to Mrs. H. Blun, and to Mr. J.
J. McDonough for bis nmid.ouie donation
of a silver tea set. A pin cushion was won
here by Mr. N. C. Collier, and a beaded

TUE LAST COVFEKENGE.
Louisville and Georgia Railroad
Official* Settling .Hatter*.
The Atlanta Constitution of Thursday gives
the following additional details of the con
ference mentioned in the special telegrams
to the Morning News yesterday:
There was a conference held yesterday
morning at the Kimball House between Col.
Wadley. Gov. Brown, Gen. Alexander and
Mr. Newcomb, aud all differences which
have existed between the respective compa
nies have been harmonized. There was a
mutual contract and agreement entered into
between the railroads for mutual protection
and exchange of business, the Western and
Atlantic giving its assent, so far as lies in
Its power,without infringment upon its char
ter or its contract with the State.
Among various measures discussed and
agreed upon, was that all parties would
unite and co-operate in a reduction of the
tariff on coal to the people of Atlauta. Mr.
Newcomb, speaking for tbe Nashville and
Chattanooga, agreed to participate in this
reduction, and Governor Brown, on behalf
of bis coal company and the Western aDd
Atlantic Railroad, also becomes a party to
this understanding. Thus the people of
Atlanta will be assured of cheap coal at
once, instead of the delay which would
attend the completion of the Geogia Wes
tern. It may be depended that this measure
is settled upon, and its Immediate execution
will follow.
The erection of a grain elevator Is also
under consideration, and it is understood
that with the proper co-operation of the
people of Atlanta measures will doubtless
soon be effected fer the erection of a grain
elevator at this place. The alliance and
agreement entered Into between the respec
tive roads, will redound, not only to the ad
vantage of the city of Atlanta, but to the
State at large, and cannot be otherwise than
favorable to the Interests of the entire peo
ple of Georgia.
This alliauce, in connection with the pre
vious coa.ition between tbe Georgia, tbe
Central and tbe South Carolina Railroads, is
conclusive that Savannah and Charleston
are the ports which will eujoy the benefits
of the combination as terminal points for
tbe through business.
It has been agreed that tbe several com
panies shall unite in an organization for
fostering and-building up through business
both to New York and for export, and tbe
establishment of a joint office at New York
of tbe companies interested. The object
aimed at in the contract has been tbe unifi
cation, so far as possible, of the several rail
roads, each company maintaining, of course,
its entire independence, but working to a
common purpose for through business, aud
managing its own internal affairs as hereto
fore.
We are authorized officially to sta’e that
there has been do lease of the Georgia
Railroad or Georgia Central, nor is any con
templated. The alliance is made in strict
conformity to the statutes and policy of the
State of Georgia, and all companies will act
in obedience to the mandates of the Rail
road Commission, as though no such coali
tion has been formed. The object is to
promote in every way possible the great in
terests of Georgia and its railroads, and not,
in any case, to come in conflict with her
authorities. By this alliance the long talked
of line to the sea has been consummated.
The railroads and people of Georgia are
to be congratulated upon tbe peaceful and
happy solution of the differences that have
existed between the companies.
The Trouble at St. Philip’s Church.
Editor Morning yews: In }our issue of
Friday last an article appeared In which
reference was made to a difficulty that had
recently occurred at tbe church cf the Rev.
W. H. Noble, and tbe cause of the difficulty
given iu that article was that the pa6tor had
“publicly advanced doclrine6jverglng upon
Mormoni&m.” As such a charge, made in
so respectable a journal ss the Morning
News, if left uncontradicted, would seri
ously affect the Christian character and
future usefulness of the pastor, Rev. W. H.
Noble, both in this community and elee-
where, you will, as an act of justice, permit
the following to appear as explanatory of
the real cause of the trouble:
The Rev. W. II. Noble was assigned to
bis present charge by the authorities of his
church about four years since, at which
time he had a wife that be brought with
him. She manifested gieat dissatisfac
tion at being in Savannah and re
turned to her former home, as she
stated to her husband, to make a visit to
her friends, but refused to return to Savan
nah, thougn urgently entreated to do so. It
was ascertained beyond a doubt that she
bad resumed relations that had exis’ed prior
to her becoming tbe wife of Rev. Noble.
Under tbis state of facts a divorce was
sought ar.d obtained from the Superior
Court of Chatham county. Subsequently,
and but very recently, he married a member
of bis charge, a woman of most exemplary
Christian character, in every wav qualified
to discharge the duties of a pastor’s wife.
This is conceded by all parties. Notwith
standing, “this Is the stone of stumbling.”
In this, as in every case of tbe kind that has
over come under m» observation, there were
numerous asmrants to tbe coveted place of
mistress of the parsonage.
As the pastor is no Mormon, *»'in
precept or example,” but a rigid
adherent, to the doctrine of 8t. Fanl, who
enjoins that “an Elder should be the hus
band of one wife,” the euvy Incident to
this marriage Is doubtless the foundation of
the trouble referred to, which la a source of
great mortification and regret to the large
body of the church, and to none more so
than the pastor himself. Trctii.

therefore, to make a correction.
The contract awarded to Mr. Roland

been commenced early iu December—has
not been commenced yet. The agent of

January for this work, and will, in a

If completed in sixty days after It
Is beguu k will be as soon ss It
can be properly done; a much longer time
will most likely be required. Further, Mr.
Karwriese is not connected in any way with
tbe engineer department engaged upon the

Dear Mother—We left Rio de Janeiro
on the 6th of February, and when we were
at sea two weeks the yellow fever broke out,
and we were compelled to put into Monte
video. From there we were driven to sea
again (by tbe city authorities) to this island,
thirty miles from the mainland. We are at
the present time encamped on the Island of
Flores, while the ship is being thoroughly
fumigated. Already one apprentice boy and
two officers have fallen victims to It, and the
medical camp is full. I have not had it yet,
but God knows how long I will hang out.
We get provisions from tbe city occasion
ally, but we are not allowed to send any
boats ashore. Even the letters have to be
fumigated before leaving the ship. She lies
anchored a short distance from the Island,
wii h no one on her but those who are fumi
gating her.
We will be In this neighborhood at least
three months, as we will Dot be allowed to
go to tbe city until forty cays after toe last
man gets better. We will then rig her up
again—as she is unrigged now—and return
to tbe 8tates, I think ; but others think that
she will continue on her course for San
Francisco.
I intended to not let you know anything
about tbis, but I did not know but that I
might fall a victim to it, and I may as well
leave a few words behind me for those inter
ested in me.
If we ever go to the State? I am going to
leave this shin ; she is an uolucky one. Two
men came near getting killed and one man’s
eyes were punched out since we left Rio,
from where we sailed on a Friday—an un
lucky day. I suppose there are great ac
counts of the fever in the papers at home.
Hoping that you are well, and that we will
return to the States, where I will soon see
you, I remain your affectionate son,
Bernard.
Tlie Kutaw Club Excur*lon.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 7.—Editor
Morning Xnns : The excursion of the Eutaw
Club of Augusta arrived in Jacksonville on
the steamer City of Bridgeton this morning.
The party is one of the finest that has ever
etarted on a pleasure tour of the kind. All
are genial, pleasant people, ever careful of
each other’s comfort, and thoroughly satis
fied with everything, and enjoying the trip
with a zest that is truly refreshing. Al
though the club Is strictly a tem
perate one, the bar of the St. John’s
made some of the club slightly un
easy, as was evinced by numerous lemons
making their anpparance as the good
6tearner gently rocked in the cradle of the
deep. The meditative way In which a per
son extracts the flavor of a lemon when the
sea runs a little high, Is a sure indication of
gastric disturbance, and Is only Indulged in
by persons realizing a weak point in the re
gion of the stomach.
Much credit is due to Mr. R. G. Hitt, the
President of tbe Club, and bis officers, who
were untiring in their efforts to make every
body thoroughly at home. Mr. H. A.
Callan, of Savannah, the courteous guide of
the excursion, was ever present to see that
all were comfortable, and by bis genial
manner made many friends, while Captain
Fitzgerald aad his Purser made everybody
feel that it was good to be there.
