“We are reliably informed,” says the
Wrightsville Recorder, “that Dr. J. I- Irwin.
Superintendent of the 8aodersville and Ten-
nille Railroad, has just returned from Savan
nah. and while there had a conversation with
W. G. Raoul, Vice President, and Wm Rogers,
General Superintendent of the Central Rail
road. concerning the proposed railroad from
Tennilie via Wrightsville to Dublin. Georgia.
It will be remembered by many of our readers
that Dr. Irwin was one of the committee at>-
poii.ted some time ago to confer with the offi
cers of the Sandersviile and Tennilie Railroad,
and also the officers of the Central Railroad,
to ascertain what assistance these
roads would render in building the
proposed road. It would now be a good idea
for the Chairman of said committee to confer
with Dr. Irwin on the matter: and we suggest
the propriety of a meeting being called at an
early day. so that an expression of opinion
from him might be obtained, and then let us
set to work and build the road at once. The
Sandersviile and Tennilie Railroad, as small as
it appears, has declared a dividend of 7 per
cent.; and we see no reason why fhis propos
ed road cannst be built at once, and likewise
made a paying institution. We hope the Chair
man will call a meeting at an early day.”
The Athens Banner publishes an account of
a fierce fight with a mad dog, in which Mr.
Thomas A. Jonas, of Oconee county, partici
pated, on Friday last, as follows: “Mr.
Jonas lives about six mi’es from Ath
ens. near Jennings’ mi 1. He was sitting in his
house reading, when his little son, aged about
teu years, ran in and slid that a dog had tried
to bite him Mr. Jonas picked up his hat and
went out to see about it. Going into the yard
he saw a strange dog run under the house. As
Mr. J >nas stooped to look under the house, the
dog suddenly jumped at him and came bo near
that he brushed his face. By the time Mr. Jo
nas could straighten up.the dog jumped at him
again. This was twice more repeated,
and each time Mr. Jonas knocked tne dog
off by striking him underneath the mouth with
hi-i right arm. Every time the infuriated ani
mal's teeth could be heard to snap as he came
to the attack; his eyes glered green and
glassy, and the saliva ran in streams from his
lips. After the fourth onset. Mr. Jonas re
membered that be had heard that when a mad
dog is infuriated and can get something to
bite, his madness is for the time satisfied.
Acting on this idea, quick as thought, he
thrust bis hat into the dog's mouth, an i a-> the
dog grasped it, both fell to the ground. Both
rose at the same time, but the dog—as Mr.
Jonas ha 1 suppos d he would—ceased the
attack, and ran into the lot and under the
barn. Mr. Jonas got out his gun and shot
the dog, but did not quite kill him. With the
aid of a pitchfork, he drew the animal out,
and kn Hiked him on the head with an axe,
which finished him. The dog had previously
bitten Thomas Akins, a colorod man, who
lived about two miles above Mr. Jonas'. Akins
went at once to Watkinsville to consult a phy
sician—with what result we could not learn.
He was bitten in the chin, and every attempt
the dog made at Mr. Jonas was towards his
face. Two dogs were also bitten—one belong
ing to Mr. David Stephens and one to Peter
Damons, colored.”
Atlanta Constitution: •’Thursday night,
alKnit 2 o'clock, the residence of Mr. J. M. Ellis,
on Houston street, was entered by a burglar
and about twenty-five dollars stolen. The bur
glar entered through a window and secured a
portion of the money from a large chest whi<ih
wasjlocked and which he opened with the
proper keys, which he found in the dress
pocket of Mrs. Ellis. The remainder of
the money, about ten dollars, was taken from
the pocket of a lady who Is visiting
Mrs. Ellis. The burglar awoke the
family as he was leaving the bou w». but the
theft was not known until yesterday morning.
Yesterday the house of a colored woman who

was found which could fix the guilt upon her.

“From all we can learn from the papers and
otherwise,” says the Tampa Tribune, “the late

The Leesburg Advance says that from all ac-

every new comer has a number of friends pre
paring to emigrate from the old States, especial
ly Kentucky. Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Missouri. During the entire
summer representatives of small emigrant par
ties have been arriving and making purchases.
One good feature about the new settlers now
coming to this county is, they are purchasing
lands in the interior instead of crowding on tlie
lake shores. It is safe to say Sumter county
will receive two hundred substantial citizens
ihe coming season.

Jacksonville Sun and Press (Saturday): “A
somewhat strange occurrence took place
yesterday noon, when a house broke down the
>osts on which it was placed and fell some
bur feet to the ground. The house is a one
and a half story building on Ash’ey street, be
twven Ocean and Newnan, owned by James Y.
Wilson and occupied by a Mrs. Gay aud daugh
ter. The pos s which held up the building
were rotten, and Mr. Wilson, the owner, had
twice lately engaged meu to make re-
poirs.-which had been delayed for some cause.
At the time of the accident Mrs. Gay
was in the kitchen, while Miss Uay was work
ing a sewing machine in the front room. Sud
denly Miss Gay observed the machine tipping,
and. looking up, was horrified to see the side of
the house falling outward from the floor, while
an instant afterward chairs fell over, and large
?iece6 of p aster fell upon her. As it happened,
he house held together, so that she escaped
with nothing worse than a bad fright, ihe
sides of the house are badly twistea and bent
out, the veranda broken in two. and the build
ing generally damaged, although in all the
front windows the glass still remains whole.”
•Several times of late have we been told. ”
says the Pensacola Advance, "of the recent
discovery by fishermen in the neighborhood of
Choctawhatchee Sound of an immense mound,
built entirely of human bones. We have been
unable to see and converse with those who vis
ited the spot and are said to have examined
and thoroughly convinced themselves that the
bones are those of human beings, but the state
ment is credited by many who believe that that
it is not at all improbable, and that this collec
tion is the remains of the aborigines who
abounded in this locality in years gone by. In
this immediate neighborhood the curiosity of
generations lias been excited by little hills or
mounds to be in.it frequently in our piney
woods, and tradition has ever pointed to them
as the la^ vestige cf an age and people long
since passed away, but whether they contain
the depogty* of a defunct race has never been
determined.”
Tallahassee Floridian: “Mr. C. A. Bryan
has been missing sheep from his plantation, a
short distance from the city, for some time,
but his hands claimed that they were killed by
dogs. Last Saturday another was missing, and
early Sunday morning Sheriff Mosely was set
on the trail of it. He soon found the sheep
made into a palatable stew, to which Simon Wil
liams and Jim Lawrence, two R-publican 'col
ored gentlemen' working on Mr. Bryan's place.
h»d just sat down to breakfast, with their in
vited guest, a colored minister from Wakulla
county. They owned up. claiming that they
were hungry, and ‘it was an old crippled sheep,
anyhow.' but the Sheriff, strange to say. was
not satisfied with that ercuse and brought
them on to town, where they will board at the
county hotel until the next term of the Circuit
Court."

Jacksonville Union: “We are pained to an
nounce the deatli of Col. 8t. George Rogers,
which occurred at the residence of his son in
Terre Haute, Ind., on the llth inst. The Ocala
Banner says of him, *he possessed great
natural powers, and fora long while enjoyed a
fine reputation as a criminal lawyer. In fact,
he stood at the head of that branch of the pro
fession in this portion of the State as long as
he was in practice. He participated in the
Indian war of 1857, and held a Colonel’s com
mission of United States Volunteers, though
barely twenty-one years old at the time. At
the breaking out of the rebellion he
was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the
Second Florida Regiment, and upon
the death of Colonel Ward, succeeded to the
colonelcy of the regiment. He afterwards
held a .-eat in the Confederate Congress, and
after the termination of hostilities resumed
the practice of law. Being in a precarious
state of health for several years past, he grad
ually abandoned the law. a-id devoted his well
momenta to the development of bis orange in
terests on the Ocklawalia river. Growing
worse, he started on a visit to his sou at Terre
Haute some mouths ago. hoping that the
change of climate would be of benefit to him;
but his friends never expected to see him alive
again. He leaves a wife and two little daugh
ters here and a married son in lerre Haute to
mourn his loss. ”
Fernandina Mirror: “The contractor for the
P ernandina and Jacksonville R til road has ar
rived aud is preparing to commence work,
which he will do as so >n as the next New York
steamer gets in, or which lie has a large force
of Italian laborers. Our labor here is so unre
liable that Mr. Flowers, the contractor and an
experienced railroad man, will have to import
the greater part of what he may need The
contract requires the road to be all complete
and ready for use by the tsth of December
next. Two and a half months seem a short
time in which to accomplish so much work,
but we do not doubt its being done. This road
will open up some valuable lands, and their
great convenience to market will render them
especially attractive to vegetable growers.”

The Gubernatorial Contest—Thomas

Rebuke to tlie Factious Disorgan
izes—Congressional—State Senate
—The Representative Ticket.
Tuomasvili.k, September 25.— Editor Morn
ing News: As the political campaign nears its
end the contest grows warmer, and of course
people are the more deeply interested in the
news from every locality. The friends of the
several candidates are very anxious to kDow
exactly how they stand, without ever being
able to acquire that exact information until
revealed at the polls, but an approximation
may be arrived at by calculation, provided the
calculator is shrewd enough to elude the toils
of prejudice and calm y survey the attendant
circumstances It is true that many people
are swayed back and forth in their opinions—
changed by every speech—the latest opinion
derived from the late t speech—but after all
they are apt to settle down in time for the elec
tion. and ht-nce we are often surprised to find
that the election resulted contrary to all en
thusiasm and reason in the opinion of the san
guine.
THE OCBERNATOIUXL CONTEST.
To read the Norwood papers and hear the
Norwood orators one would think there was
not the ghost of a chance for Colquitt, and
vice ver.a; but thU is to be expected in a
heated campaign, and we must look beyond
for true indications of the result In the pre
sent campaign we find these in the good
humor, equanimity and calmness of the
masses, who were not surprised by the action
of the minority iu the Gubernatorial Conven
tion in Atlanta, and who have been educated
to understand all the fuss and leathers grow
ing out of It, as the effervescence of an im
patient clan of office-seekers. The masses
have oten educated to expect the most vile
and unscrupulous warfare in these contests,
and hence they a r e not convinced of the guilt
or innocence of a candidate under the severest
Impeachment by his opponent. It is one of
the evils of American politics that while a
citizen may live blameless in privare
he becomes a villain the moment he fin-Is an
opponent in public life. The masses of the
people of Georgia had no fault to find with
Gov. Colquitt; they did not think him perbet
nor even the ablest man in the State; but they
believed bint to be a competent, Christian
patriot, worthy of their confidence, and all
the efforts of his opponents iu the deep design
of the 1 -gislative‘‘investigatioas. and the later
more determined effort to overthrow him, by
an attempt to destroy the party which sup-
p >rted him, have not convinced them that
they were mistaken in his character. Ashe
stood before the nominating convention,
he stands before the people t«>-day,
the choice of at least two-thirds,
who will convince his opponents of that fact
on the day of the election. I must be candid
enough to say there is an element of intelli
gence on the Colquitt side, who are not f here
on account of any great ad ipiration of Gov
ernor Colquitt, however meritorious his claims;
but an element supporting him to defett what
they regard as an unscrupulous faction, will
ing to destroy the Democratic party in the
State and imperil the hope of the South in the
Presiic-ntial election, if bv that means it can
gratify inordinate desire for place aud i ower.
There happened to be a most unusually large
number of Gubernatorial aspirants looking
to the Atlanta Convention for hope
of elevation. and by general
consent among them. Colquitt was to be
slaughtered an standing in tlie way of the whole
of them. None could hope for success while
he remained, and it was exceeding!}- irritating
tliat their combined forces could nut break his
ranks. The half dozen “dark horses" who
stood in the bxck ground and pretended to plat
inum, but in reality exerted every energy to
increase the discord, were so deeply embittered
by the integrity of Colquitt’s friends and sup
porters that it was foreseen they would en
courage division to gratify their revenge. This
accounts for their support of Mr. Norwood.
Failing in their own ambition, they countenance
that of any other bolder than themselves, and
reckless enough to stake his fortune upon so
weak and frivolous an issue, for thp sake of
ittle morsel of revenge.
The masses of the people donotbel ere in tlie
righteous part of their Indigna'iooagaiust Col
quitt. nor even that tbeir opposition it him is
founded in honesty and patriotism. They be
lieve the on]>ositio!i to Colquitt to be entirely
selfl'h, and bas*l wholly upon the disappoint
niunt and chagrin of a few men. in not being
able to oust him and secure position for tlienj-
selvet. In this belief they will go to the polls,
in spite of tlie efforts of Mr. Norwood and his
followers, and administer a stinging rebuke to
the folly and recklessness of discord and con
fusion in the presence of the enemy.
COW3RESSIOVXL.
In the Second district there exists, I believe,
no doubt of the election of lion H. U. Turner
to Congress. He is in the field and every whure
received with flattering demonstrations of per
sonal confidence and loyalty to the party
nomination. His selection to the race was
not one of expediency, but for eminent fitness,
high moral character, unflinching integrity,
learning and ability. He will make one of the
beat Representatives this district has ever had
in Congress.
8T1TE SENATE.
Our Senatorial prospect is not as fair as we
could wish, though we have strong confidence
in tlie good seuse of the people, who should
know their dearest interest is in unanimity
and harmony in matters of legislative im
portance. Aware that nothing is to be gained
by following the uncertain lead of factious
Independents, even in the absence of a really
dangerous opponent, the Democrat# of the
Seventh district have a double incentive to
harmony upon the regular party nominee. In

effort to destroy their influence and power,

By Telegraph to the Morning News.
London, September 27.—The Times
has the following from Gravosa: “The
Prince of Montenegro, in an in
terview with Admiral Seymour, ex
pressed the strongest conviction
that his troops could take Dulcigno un
aided. The answer of Riza Pasha to
Admiral Seymour’s ultimatum was
most emphatic. The Pasha said
that his orders were to protect the iutegrity
of the Ottoman territory. He would fire on
any force, Montenegrin or otherwise.
Seymour Informed Prince Nikita of Monte
negro that he had received a tele
gram from Mr. Goschen, Bri
tish Ambassador at Constantinople,
sayiDg that the affair was now in the hands
of the British Admiral and the Prince of
Montenegro. At a second conference
Prince Nikita assured Admiral 8eymour
that his troops were ready to march to Dul-
cigno immediately. It has been arranged
that no shot will be fired from the fleet near
the town of Dulcigno, but the fire will be
opened on Maseura aud other fortified posi
tions. The Montenegrins have six guns.
8igns.ls have been arranged between Admiral
Seymour and the Montenegrin divisional
commander. Riza Pasha has a well
equipped battery of horse artillery. The
delay In the departure of the fleet Is con
jectured to be caused by Prince Nikita, who
Is either unprepared to push things to ex
tremities, or has had a pressure put upon
him by Russia.”
A Kagusa dispatch reports that the Mon
tenegrins are seven thousand strong, while
the Albanians have six thousand men and
three field batteries.
There are teu Turkish battalions under Riza
Pasha near Dulcigno. It has just been made
known that the fleet will not start until
Wednesday.
The Manchester Guardian's correspondent
at Gravosa, telegraphed at five o’clock on
Sunday eveuiug as follows: “Yesterday the
Prince of Montenegro received official inti
mation from the Porte that an advance to
Dulcigno would be regarded as a declara
tion of war. The Prince of Montenegro
consequently has telegraphed to Admiral
Seymour, that he is not prepared, without
the aid of the land troops of the powers, to
attack the Albanians, reinforced as they are
by the Turkish regulars and artillery.”
The correspondent adds : “This step of
the Porte must be regarded as tantamount
to a declaration of war agiinst Europe, as
the powers can never submit to disperse the
fleet at the mere fiat of the Sultan.’’
The Daily News this morning in a leading
article says : “Though France may possibly
not take part in the bombardment of the
Turkish position, she will not withdraw her
ships or dissolve herself morally ftom the
enterprise.”
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Times telegraphs as follows : “Tne spirit
of reckless defiance Is becoming more and
more intense at th2 palace. For several
days past the Sultan has refused to listen to
any objections by his Mini t is ?o the pol oy
which he has adopted, and be has Issued
orders that any oflicial who shall be heard
expressing a contrary opinion shall be dls
missed and exiled. Never before since the
time of ‘Mahmoul the Terrible’ has such an
order been issued.”
The Daily Te'egraph's Ragu-a c^jt rasp Un
dent says : ‘ In consequeace of the arrival
here of a French courier with dispatches,
the sailing of the allied fleet for Dulcigno
has been postponed for forty-eight hours.”
The Albanians are encamped on the sum
mlfc of Mount Mazura, where they have
formed five lines of entrenchments, con
nected by covered ways.
The Times correspondent at Gravosa, un
der date of Saturday, sayE: “The Ottoman
frigate Schliemenleh lies off Dulcigno. She
will be summoned to withdraw, or, if she
offers resistance, must unavoidably be de
stroyed or sunk.”
A Constantinople dispatch to the Times
says: “The last note of the Porte, refusing
to surrender Dulcigno unless the naval de
monstration be abandoned, w-as, in a great
part, the Sultan’s own composition. It re
quired as a condition for the surrender of
Dulcigno, not only that the demonstration
be abandoned, but that no demonstration
shall be employed In connection with the
Greek frontier, or any other question, and
that no other concession in tbe future shall
be demanded for Montenegro.”

London, September 27.—A tenaut farmer
named Sweeney, who was under notice to
quit, has been arrested for the murder of
Lord Mountmorris and remanded for trial.

tion In Dublin. It Is expected that the af

was attended by Lord Montmorris just pre

No Lien on the Railroads In Favor

By Telegraph to the Morning News.
Memphis, September 27.—A private dis
patch from Judge Stanley Matthews to R.
T. Wilson, in New York, says: “Judge
Wither, before whom the Tennessee State
bond cases against tbe railroads were tried,
has decided that neither the foreclosed nor
non-forclofed roads are subject to any lien
in favor of the bondholders of the State, and
dismisses the bills In all the jases. These
weresuit6 Instituted bv the holders of
the State bonds, to bold the railroads liable
for a portion of the State debt.”
Knoxville, Tenn., October 27.—The
cases of Stephens vs. the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad, and other
railroads In Tennessee,'which were argued
before Judge Withey at Nashville in April
and May last, and in which an attempt was
made to establish a lien in favor of the
bondholders against the railroads which
had retired their Indebtedness, or
been sold by the State of Tennessee,
have been decided. Judge Withey holds
that the bondholders have no lien against
either the solvent or Insolvent roads, and
that the roads are in no wise liable for the
bonds in question. All tbe oills in these
cases are, therefore, dismissed. This decis
ion is regarded as a complete vindication of
tbe railroads and their officials against the
charges that have been so freely made by
the plaintiff in these cases.

improved. Old red winters are now

against 46s.5d. three weeks ago. Continental
demands appear to be satisfied, yet several
cargoes of wheat and maize off the coast

for wheat for the United Kingdom

improve, red winter closing at 6d. to 9d. and
Australia 3d. to 6d. higher. Maize was in
fair requeat, and advanced 3d. In wheat

his speech at the land meeting at New Boss
yesterday, referring to the murder of Mr.

ence to the sad occurrence of the shooting
of the land agent in this neighborhood, I
wish to point out that recourse
to such methods of procedure is entirely
unnecessary and absolutely prejudicial
where there Is a suitable organization among
tenants. I believe if Kilkenny county had
been organized young Boyd would never
have been shot, because his father, in the
face of strong and organized public opin

Strength of his Radical Opponent

Plant-City Improvemonts.
Bar 3WICK, September 26 —Editor Morning
News: Kothing of extraordinary interest In
the matter of news Items requires to be chroni
cled at thM writing. The Gubernatorial ques
tion has been at fever heat, but now seems to
be subsiding, so far as club meetings are con
cerned. The Norwood men are confident of
carrying the county, or claim to be, but it fs
quite likely they will be disappointed. Never
theless Governor Colquitt is nothing like as
strong as he was prior to the conven
tion, and with a split in the negro vote,
which is not improbable, may lose this
county. George Abbott, the colored cus
tom house employe, who was nominated
for the Senate by the Glynn County Conven
tion, has been compelled to yield to the claims
of Butler (colored), of Camden county, and
step down and out. He is an enthusiastic Nor
wood man, and proposes to stump the district
in his behalf. Butler. Jim Blue, and others,
addressed an open air meeting on Bay street
on Friday evening last, at which speeches
were made by Colonel Styles and J. E. Dart,
who discussed the Gubernatorial question pro
and con. The writer was not present, but lias
been informed that Mr Dart’s speech in favor
of Colquitt was the i»est thing o£*he evening.
The nomination of Colonel Black was the
strongest that could have been made, and
Glynn may now be safely counted on
for a Democratic majority. Still some
of our most substantial and influential
citizens expect to vote for Colonel J. T. Collins,
the Republican nominee, and however much
our papers may ridicule the idea it remains to
be combatted that Colonel Collins has a host
of personal friends and admirers who, disgust
ed at this constant political turmoil, are willing
to sins party loyalty and support him as a
Brunswick man. Any man who supports an
independent in this canvass ia deliberately as
sisting In the election of Collins.
The contractor. Brady, in charge of the jet
ties in this harbor, has returned and resumed
opera ions, and if he is at last open to conviction
and w ill avail bimself of local information and
experience, may make a success of anchoring
palmetto cribs on a sand bank. It seems im-
E o«sible to weight them down sufficiently to
old without piling, although it ia possible the
bottoms which were to hold the ballasting were
too frail and came off, leaving the crib detach
ed and liable to float away. It ia to be hoped
that the work will now go on favorably.
There is considerable cotton passing through
this city for Savannah from Albany, by the
s: earn boats of the inland route. Kates of
freight are lower by this route than by rail.
The new hotel Is now being pushed rapidly
forward, and will be.the largest structure ever
erected here. Another item of interest is the
first brick building in Brunswick, the material
of which has arrived. It will be erected by
Captain N. Dixon.
We liave not had any dengue or broken-bone
fever in Brunswick as yet.
The steamer H. B. Plant will take the place
of the “Florence" on the Cumberland route,
between this point and Fernandina, on Thurs
day of this week. This route ia becoming very
popular and expects to convey the bulk of
Western tourists and health seekers to Florida
this season.
1 here is considerable building going on at
present and muohanius generail-. are employed.

GEN. HANCOCK GETS THE PEN.
▲ .Presentation to tlie Candidate
on Governor’s Island—Hts Re
sponse.
General Hancock, on returning to
Governor’s Island from New York,
found ex Congressman Hooper, of Mis
sissippi, ex Senator M. II. liovee, of
Wisconsin, General AveiiU and Colonel
Miller, of Pennsylvania, awaiting him.
In the evening a delegation from the
Phil Kearney Guard, Company C, Third
Regiment, New Jersey militia, called to
present him a $00 gold pen, the handle
of which was eight inches long. The
Guard recently held a charity fair, and
the pen was to be awarded to the Presi
dential candidate who received the most
votes. Of the votes, 375 were cast for
General Hancock, 3:30 for Gartleld and
20 for Weaver. The spokesman of the
delegation was Sergeant Henry J. Strate-
meyer, Jr., and the Gcnerul, in return
ing thanks for the pen, said that he had
a strong regard for the city of Elizabeth,
as being the former home of General
Winfield Scott and of Colonel Clark,
his early commander, whose son in-law,
General Bumford, he sometimes visited
there. The city also recalled to mind
his mother, whose Dame was Elizabeth.
Mr. George Neuh&uer, of the delegation,
hoped that the General would write his
inaugural address with the pen The
General replied by exhibiting two turkey
quills, saying that they had been pre
sen ted to hioi for the same purpose, and,
in case of his election, he would use all
three.

Blowing up a Vessel witti a Ton
tedo.—Enormous crowds of citizens and
strangers collected along the water front
in Montreal a few mornings since to wit
ness tho blowing up of a hundred-ton
vessel by torpedoes in the harbor. Every
preparation had been made to make the
exhibition a success, and there was not
the least disappointment. At eleven
o’clock a preliminary explosion took
place, which sent up tons of water some
thirty or forty feet. This was no sooner
over than the grand shot occurred, blow
ing the vessel, with its crew of dummy
men of-war’s men, Into millions of frag
ments. When the grand explosion tool
place a shout of surprise ascended from
the vast crowd, which could not have
numbered less than fifty thousand. The
assembled throng then slowly dispersed,
there being no further experiments.
The ’most wonderful apparitions are
alleged to have been seen at the chapel
of Knockmore, within five miles of
Ballina, in Ireland, since Sunday, Sep
teraber 4. Dozens of people attest in
the strongest manner to having seen
various wonderful visioaa much of the
same description as those said to have
been seen at Rnock. sixteen miles dis
tant. Thousands throng the chap: 1 and
grounds night and day, and the greatest
excitement prevails. The priest can
scarcely control the rush, and it is hardly
possible to enter the chapel.
