SAVANNAH, rLORIIIA ANI) WEST
ERN RAILWAY.
A Flying Visit to the Bcpot and What
nai Seen—What Has Beev Hone, and
ii in Contemplation.
The new building for the administrative
offices of the Savannah. Florida and 1\ est
ern Railway ha- iu-t received, as it were,
its finishing touches, a neat iron railing
having been erected along the front of it
on a line w ith Liberty street, and a sub
stantial pavement of Eastern brick put
and wn on tbe sidewalk. A representa
tive of the Morning News visited
tbe railroad headquarters yes
terday with the intention of writing
a short local about these improvements,
especially the brick pavement, which,
short as" it is. is an oasis in the desert
sands of the lower part of Liberty street:
but he saw so many other things worth
w riting about that it will take a much
1- ngi-r local than was at first intended.
These matters, however, are indicative of
th*- growth of our city, and of course inter
e-tihg to our readers.
THE .NEW OFFICE BUILDING.
This building is of the quw.-nAmu- style
of architecture though we very much
d<>uht if that good ancestor ot \ ictoria
ever lived in as comfortable a house .
Th.- length of tbe building is 105 leet.
width, including pia/za and wings. 42
feet. The entrance is through
the centre. with stairwavs going
up In.iu the piazza. Tne fundamental
plan of is to have those orti
,-, rs of the company whoae.business re
quire that the public should have ready
a .-ess P- them.on thefirst floor, and those
who are more purely administrative offi
cers of the road, not quite so convenient to
the public. With this idea thebuildiug is
i divided as follows:
First Floor Capt. R. G. Fleming. >u
perint*-ndent: W. I*. Hardee, Esq.. Treas
urer: W. W. Itowell. Esq.. Cashier: W.H.
B nnett. Esq.. Paymaster. On this floor
:ir. row— nr the telephone and th.- jani
i tor. and also the toilet room, which is
fitted up after the most improved sanitary
• system.
second Floor —Col. H. s. Haines. Gen
eral Manager: Felix s. Prendergast. Ksq..
i hief Engineer: W. B. McKee, Esq..
Comptroller; H. H. McKee. Esq.. Auditor
•l Expenses: C. T. Mprel, Esq.. Auditor of
Earnings.
All the rooms are neatly finished and
w. !1 lighted, and provided with all mod
ern improvements. The Engineer's l>e
partment is furni6he<l with apparatus for
••blue" printing, that is, a method for du
plicating any number of drawings. It
would be omitting a very pleasant item
did we fail to mention a small hut hand
- -me flower garden which has been made
in the space between the two wings of the
building.
TWO MORE ADDITIONS. m
Leaving these very comfortable
quarters, we visited a building in the
r-ar ot the round house, which is aliout
is-ing completed. This is a store house
two stories high. luO feet long by 25 feet
wide. Three-quarters of the lower and
-•tie-half of the upper stories will be used
f.-r -t‘>rageof bar iron, bolts, nails, tools,
and the thousand and one articles re
quired every day by a railroad. There
w ill be an inclined railway on which to
haul up go<ds to the second story, and a
track w ill connect the store house with the
main line. Here w ill lie the headquarters
of Mr. A. A. Aveilhe. the purcha-iilb
agent, and also rooms for the store
keejicr.
An addition to the boiler house. 20x30,
is al-o lieing built, and two boilers of 1"0
horse power art lying near by ready to be
put into position. This improvement is
necessary sn as to give more steam to run
tbe engine, which now has H many ma
chines to drive in the machinery and car
building departments that the present
-team power is inadequate.
NEW CARS AND LOCOMOTIVES. -
-ince the Ist of February 100 platform
cars have been built in the company's
shops, and this month's work will show
rtftv new fruit cars as its result.
fwo new engines, what are known as
••Moguls.” < parenthetically It will not lie
--ut of place to say that it is a misnomer to
i all -uch handsome specimens of machin
ery by such a name nave been placed on
! the track this week. They are known as
NVis. 53 and 54. and were built at the
if aid win Locomotive 'Yorks.
-i.ui*- idea of the work that is going on
in the way of building and rebuilding
roads may be fbrnied from the statement
that ten cars, with two hundred tons of
steel rails, are sent nut day after day, and
that there are now I!*2 miles of steel track
on the savannah, Florida and Western
Kailwav.
In the paint shop the magnificent coach
es of the Through Line are undergoing re
painting so as to have them ready for the
fastidious w inter tourists of 'St-'M. One
of these handsome equipages costs as
much as a steamboat. It would
naturally occur to the economizer of the
good things of earth why a fellow with a
pair of a dollar and a half pants on should
require a seat on which to rest
his body, and sometimes his boot*, the
velvet on which costs )4 25 a yard. How
ever. this is one of the things, as lun
dreary says. "No fellah can find out.’"
Just outside of the paint shop was an old
time passenger coach, which wa6
not considered good enough to re-letter,
as it still bore the legend
• Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.” It was
not worth repairing, and had been put on
a side track to be torn to pieces for the
• •Id iron that is in it. It could tell tales
alout hair-breadth escapes, how it
had safelv carried the happy
ami the sorrowful, rushing along
to new Joys or ever recurring grief. This
was undoubtedly a handsome coach in its
dav, but now. alongside of its gay sisters
of the “fast line,” it tell* the old story of
old age-old and forgotten.
MORE IMPROVEMENTS.
Leaving the old car we walked back
to the depot shea, and were informed that
plans are now drawn to remodel
it. The store rooms are tq be
moved, and the whole structure changed,
so as to give more room for the accommo
dation of traveler-. The improvements
consist of a suite of w ailing rooms, a bag
gage room, a ticket office and a restau
rant.
Plans are also Iteing prepared for re
modeling and enlarging the freight ware
house. the upjier story of which is now
occupied lv officer* of the freight and
passenger department, of which Mr. Jas.
L. Tavlor is the chief executive.
When alt these various improvements are
completed, w bicb w ill be at an early day,
there will be much rejoicing among
those whose lives are devoted to the care
of the interests of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway.
The Guard*' Gala Ga;’.
The anniversary picnic of the Savan
nah Volunteer Guards at the Schuetzen
Park yesterday was one of the most en
joyable social events of the season, and
was attended by hundreds of thefriends of
the gallant corps. It was a gaia day for
the Battalion and their guests. The
handsome steamer Sylvan Glen left the
Abercorn street wharf on her first
trip at eleven o-'clook. and ca rried out a
full load. The afternoon l>oat carried
even a larger numlier than went in the
morning, and still more went by ear
and private conveyance. Dancing was
begun early in the day. and until a quarter
past nine last night there was hard
ly any intermission. A large number from
other commands were present in uniform,
and the scene in the pavilion was very
attractive, as the members of the different
corps and gaily attired ladies mingled in
the merry dance. Bv invitation of Lieut.
Colonel Garrard the Military Acad* m y
Cadets were nresent during tbe afternoon
and joined in tne festivities. The gather
ing wa- wholly informal. The meml*ers
of the company with their guests were
out for a frolic, and tbe occasion was all
that was promised—one of tbe most
pleasurable that has ever been recorded
L its liistorv. At evening tbe pavilion
was brilliantly illuminated with reflect
ing lamps, and the floor was crowded with
the devotees of the mcr*y dance.
The dav was delightful, and the uool
breeze last eight added to the pleasure
and gave inspiration to the music of the
orchestra and the band. The grounds
were filled with quiet groups
enjoving the evening, and when
the ‘ last dance was concluded
the participants were reluctant to leave.
The boat left aoout half-past 9 o'clock,
aid was loaded to its capacity, the re
maining members and their guests re
turning by ears and private conveyance.

The Oglethn*et> Drop Their Laurel* to
the Rival Team—Captured by the
Champion* on an Easy Score.
Savannah had her rival baseball muscle
on exhibition yesterday. Tuesday's game
excited considerable interest, and between
two hundred and three hundred persons
assembled at Base Ball Park to witness
the defeat of the victors by the champion
ship team. There was a lively interest in
the contest, and bets were made that the
Dixies would double their contestants'
score.
The came was called at 4:15 o'clock.
The Dixies won the toss and went to the
bat. At the outset the Oglethorpes show ed
their pluck and made a hard fight, but
their rivals were heavy players, and
after the first innings batted their pitch
ing all over the field- The game through
out was badly played, and with one or
two features, was a poor exhibition of
base ball timber.
Both clubs have good players, but the
trouble seems to be lack of management.
To their credit, their conduct is orderly,
but too mauy bosses have a bad effect on
the game, and il Savannah proposes to
hoist the championship flag, her players
will have to do better work than w as done
vesterdav. The fielding was bad. and the
strengthof the game lav in the heavy bat
ting. The Dixies are considerably heavier
in weight than the Oglethorpes. who are
small men. But they have got good
timber.
The catching of McNish was good. The
left-banded, pitching of Cotter bothered
their opponents until the beginning of the
seventh inning, when they pounded him
high into the out-field, and piled up the
scores at a lively rate. ' From a tie on the
sixth inning the Oglethorpes lost their
hold, and the game turned, the Dixies
taking the lead and keeping it to the fin
ish. Several fine field plays were made,
but in the critical spots the players lost
their heads. The following is the score:

DROWNED IN THE SOUTH CHANNEL.
A Boat in Tow of the Sylvan Glen Cap.
sized, and a Negro Lost.
Yesterday morning, as the steamer Syl
van Glen left the city, with about three
hundred excursionists, for the Schuetzen
I'latz, she had in tow a barge intended to
tie used as a wharf for the landing of the
party.
Just as the steamer was leaving the
city Mr. George Yon Eberstein, accom
panied by two persons, one white and the
other colored." who were going to
Tybee, appeared in a row boat and
made fast to the barge with the
object of taking advantage of a tow as far
as the mouth of St. Augustine creek.
When the steamer reached that point,
the white man who was with Mr. Von
Eberstein, was on the flat and at
tempted to return to the small boat.
Mr. Yon Eberstein shouted: “ Don't
jump in here now. you'll capsize us!"
The warning was. apparently, not heard,
and when the man jumped into
the boat it turned over and
•threw the three occupants into
the river. The colored mau was not seen
to come to the surtace, but " hen Mr. Yon
Eberstein and his companion reappeared
on the top of the water, the row lioat, still
fastened to tbe barge, had righted, but
was out of their reach.
Mr. James Hurbert. the first mate of
the Sylvan Glen, took in the situation at
a glance, and quickly seizing a paddle
from oue of the steamer’s lite lioats.
leaped into the small boat, and cutting it
adrift, rescued one of the men with
out much difficulty. 'Vhen he reached
Mr. Yon Eberstein that gentleman was
well nigh exhausted but succeeded iu
clinging to the gunwale. Meantime Cap
-1 tain Lamee stopped his steamer and sent
a boat w ith three men to bring Mr. Yon
Eberstein and his companies back to
Savannah, Search was made for the
body of the negro, but at last reports it
had not been recovered.
The Central’** Rate* to the North.
The Central Railroad will commence
the sale, on June ot excursion tickets
from Savannah to New York and return
by the all-rail route, via Atlantic Coast
line, Bay line, Virginia Midland, and
Richmond and Danville iine, via
Augusta and Richmond, good until
October Ist, for $35. This places
the rail route within $2 of the excursion
rate via Ocean Steamship Line, and af
fords- a delightful trip through some of
the most picturesque and beautiful scen
ery of the Atlantic coast states. The
l>opularity of the Central's management
and the "excellent lacilities they offer
for pleasure and comfort in travel cannot
fail to Ik: appreciated by the public, and
the present inducement will undoubtedly
attract a large patronage to the popular
route. The sale of tickets will commence
on the same date at the depot and the Cen
tral office. No, 20 Bull street, where in
formation will be courteously given by
the agent. Mr. J. C. Bhaw .
A Traveling Fraud.
A few months ago a wLite woman, pro
bably 45 or 7s) years of age. canvassed tne
city and obtained from a number of per
sons some articles of clothing, which she
proposed to clean and renovate at a com
paratively trifling expense. She gave her
name as Mrs. Avers, and could have done
a good deal of business in that line had
she so wished. Not long after making the
canvass, however, she suddenly took her
departure and many of her would-lte pa
trons failed to ascertain her whereai>outs
or a trace of their goods in her possession.
A day or two ago she returned to the
eitv, when one of her customers had her
arrested and brought before Justice Isaac
Russell to antover for her old tricks. In
response to tne question as to the dispo
sition she had made of certain articles of
wearing apparel, she suggested that they
must have been stolen. Our citizens will
do well to look out for similar frauds.

The official Badge of the Nashville
Drill.
The design for this medal adopted by the
ixiard of directors of the competitive drill,
at a recent meeting, is one manufactured
by Davis Bros., of Savannah. Ga. This
medal beautifully illustrates the occasion,
having on one side a soldier standing sen
tinel over a slumbering camp—the reverse
with these words: -In commemoration of
the militarv tournament, Nashville, May
21 This medal will be the official
badge of the event, and will be worn by

CADETS AT THEIR BEST.
Fond Hope* Raised bv the Parade of the
Nashville Detachment.
An unusually large number of specta
tors. among whom a generous sprinkling
of ladies were noticeable, watched tbe
parade of the Savannah Cadets on the
Park extension,. yesterday afternoon,
from half-past five to seven o’clock.
The Cadets on parade, 30 in num
ber, under Capt. H. M. Branch, consti
tute the detachment which leaves tomor
row nifht for Nashville to participate
iu the competitive military drill,
which will continue in that city
throughout next week. The com
pany appeared in the fatigue summer uni
forin. with white pantaloons and gloves,
and made a most soldierly appearance.
Their faultless evolutions while on the
march and the simultaneous precision
with which they handled their weapons,
won the admiration of all. and on one oc
casion, just after the company had fin
ished the manual or arms with wonder
ful exactness, the spectators gave vent
to their appreciation in a spontaneous
burst of applause. That the
detachment has Iteen under the eye of a
most competent commander made itself
evident throughout the drill, and
though the Cadets themselves are very
modest, thev carry with them to Nash
ville the most confident expectations of
evervone who is acquainted with their
capabilities. The new guns, which ar
rived from Washington yesterday, were
handled for the first time on the parade,
but this fact, apparently, made but little
difference in the perfection of the evolu
tions.
The parade was incident to the twenty
second anniversary of the organization of
the Cadets, and upon returning to their
drill room after the drill, the company
found a sumptuous banquet spread for
their edification.
The departure of the corps to-morrow
night will l>e attended by a parade of the
Regiment, and the following order was is
sued by Col. Anderson:
Headquarters Ist Yol. Reg’toi Ga.)
Savannah, May 10. 1883.
tienerol Order A T o. 5.
I. The regiment will parade on Satur
day, the 19tn inst.. to escort the Savannah
Cadets to the depot.
11. The line will be formed in Reynolds
square, facing west, the right resting near
Abercorn street, at 0:45 o'clock punctu
ally.
111. The Yield and Staff will parade dis
mounted and will assemble at the Irish
Jasper Greens Armory at 0:30 o’clock.
IY. The Colonel commanding indulges
the hope that every uniformed member of
the regiment wiH Ik* in his place in the
ranks on that occasion, thereby not only
illustrating the esprit du eurp* that has
always characterized the First Georgia,
but their appreciation of their gallant
comrades, who for more than a decade
have borne the proud distinction of being
the best drilled infantry corps in Georgia.
Cadets', soldiers! You go to a distant
State to compete with the volunteer
military of the country for higher honors
than those already inscribed upon your
record! Remember that you go as an
integral part of the First Volunteer
Regiment of Georgia, so long, and so
justly first in the van.as the best drilled in
fantry corps in Georgia. As you place your
standard upou foreign soil, let this thought
animate your souls, viz.. That you are
there not only for a holiday occasion, but
to gain fresh laurels to add to
the victorious. unquestioned, un
challenged record of the past, such
laurels as will give .increased
lustre and glory to your crown,
and cause the hearts of your at
home to vibrate with responsive throbs at
your renewed success. By order

SUNDAY SCHOOL JUBILEE.
Celebration of the VVaycro** District
Association.
Rev. E. J. Benton. President of the 'Yay
cross Sunday School District Association,
lias issued the following circular in regard
to the jubilee to be held in “Sunday School
Tabernacle," at Homerville, Clinch coun
ty, Ga.. on Wednesday, June 20th, 1883.
“All officers, teachers, parents and
scholars connected with the Sunday
schools of Clinch. Coffee. Ware. Pierce.
Tattnall. Appling. Liberty. Mclntosh.
Wayne. Camden. Charlton, Glynn. Echols,
Lowndes. Brooks and Berrien counties,
composing Wayeross Sunday School Dis
trict Association, are cordially invited to
attend.
“Each Sunday school should provide
their ‘lunch baskets' well filled with
•creature comforts,’ for ‘jubilee dinner.'
Have your schools ready to take the train
at your station at the proper time. Have
each member of your school to wear their
Sunday school badge where it can be
plainly seen. Bring the song books used
by your school. Bring your Sunday
school banner. Have your Sunday school
to get into the same ear with you. and
see that they do not run about in the ear
or stand near the car door. When the
train reaenes Homerville collect your
school and join the other spools of your
county, and await the order to march by
! counties from depot to Tabernacle. As
the schools of each county file off in pro
. cession, sing a song previously selected
i and practiced! and sing with the. spirit as
; you go. Each county will be assigned its
; proper place in the Tabernacle.
“The Sunday school scholars of
year* ot age and under will go and return
free. The officers, teachers, parents and
adult visitors will j>a>/ on>■ fore for the
round trip. Schedule of time of leaving
each station on morning of June 20 will
Ik* announced in time through the news
papers. I will place a sufficient numlier
of tickets with the agent at your station
and w ith the President of your County
Sunday School Association. Get your
tickets at once and try and induce all
i your adult friends to buy them. The
money that is spent .by you to pay the
necessary exiK*nses —enabling your
children to go and return free—will
' l>e an investment which will yield
ample dividends of profit and pleasure,
! both to you and them, for years to come.
For the "purpose of perfecting our district
organization let each county Sunday
school association elect two delegates to
this jubilee, and report their names, by
postal card, to J. L. Sweat. Homerville,
Ga., at once. 1 sincerely trust that every
Sunday school worker in the ‘Wiregrass’
will earnestly co-operate in this work,
and enable us, by the grace of God. to
make this, the first jubilee of Wayeross
Suudav School District Association, an
occasion long to be remembered as anew
epoch in Sunday school work in South
Georgia.”
An Episcopal Free CUurch.
Editor Morning Xetes: The want of
such a corporation has long been felt in
our city, and we have strong assurance
that such a church will soon be com
menced.
The old building on Huntingdon street
is fast going to decay, the flooring being
unsafe to walk upon, and the roof in such
bad order that on rainy days the people
are prevented from gathering for worship.
Tlie good and noble rector of St. John's,
Rev. Chas. H. Strong, who never fails in
anything he undertakes, is interesting
himself to obtain a building lot in a more
desirable part of the city, and Mr. Clarke,
a postulant for the ministry, who has been
laboring in St. Matthew's" parish for the
past six months: and who is much beloved
and in every way acceptable to the (>oople,
has offered "his gratuitous services for the
work of the parish.
Although the ladies of the < hurch Aid
Society have labored industriously and
t>een patronized most liberally by a gen
erous public, they have made" no progress
in accumulating a building fund, as the
necessities of Mr. Kennard, for a long
time lay reader in this parish, absorbed
all the money they were able to make.
This gentleman, recently ordained a dea
con. has been removed to another mission,
and the ladies arc now relieved of his
support.
The society has just realized a neat
sum by their recent entertainment at
Masonic Temple, and with Mr. Strong to
encourage, direct and help them and no
further drain upon their resources, we
hope to see commenced at least a free
church building, that will when finished
be an ornament to the city and a lasting
monument to the noble "ladies who are
working for this object.
We understand there is a lady in our
city who has S4OO, which she is holding in
reserve for this building, also that an
other party holds double that sura for the
same purpose. These sums, with what
the ladies have in hand, ought to justify
them in commencing a wooden building
which, w hen finished, would la* filled with
a congregation over which many minis
ters in our State would be glad to "preside.
All success to you, ladies: the work is in
good hands. Do not allow yourself to
be encumbered with any useless burdens
and your success is assured. Get a habit
able building first and then you can call
some good clergyman who will attend to
the work of this parish alone, and St.
Matthew’s will become one of the noblest
institutions in the city of Savannah. R.
Hayesville, Ohio, Feb. 11, 1880.
I am very glad to say I have, tried Hop
Bitters, and never took anything that did
me as much good. I only took two bot
tles and I would not take SIOO for the good
they did me. I recommend them to my
patients, and get the best results from
their use. C. B. Mercer. M. I).
