APRIL’S HIGH WINDS.
The Off-Shore ‘T„-ual Hoisted Along
the Coast—A Violent Gale at Tybee.
The high wir.d which prevailed yestgr
dav and hurled clouds of blinding sand
through the air and into the eyes of pedes- j
trians rendered travel on the streets dis
agreeable, and people who were not com- j
pelted to be out remained indoors with j
more than a willingness. I
Vt 9 o’clock it increased to a gale, and
at*lo o’clock was blowing at the velocity i
of iortv miles an hour.
The off-shore signals were hoisted at the
Signal office upon the receipt of the fol
lowing order from tbe United States ]
Bureau at W ashington:
WaSHINGTOX. April 2. ioo4.
o‘jerr*r, JyitannHh: 10:40 a. W. —Hoist off- j
shore s-imals. Stronar northwesterly winds j
arc indicated for the .south Atlantic coast to
day and to-night. Hazen.
The blow continued until about 1 o’clock,
when it subsided to thirty-two miles, and
! continued at that velocity through the af
ternoon until sunset, when it slacked
| down. Daring tbe evening it began again,
and at midnight was blowing at about the ;
same rate as at boom. The air was filled I
with dirt and the sand in the streets was
blown into drifts and banks. The
observations made by the signal Bureau
indicated a storm centering on the Caro
lina coast, the lower part reaching Savan
nah. The air in the north aud west was
thick and cloudy, and a slight rain fell
just at night.
At Tybee a gale was blowing all day at
tbe rate of 45 miles, until about 4 o’clock,
when it subsided to a breeze, and
a heavy fog arose. Early after nightfall
i the fog lifted, and the wind increased in
| velocity up to 11 o’clock, when it was
I blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
; The signals were up at Tybee from noon.
I There were no indications at midnight
of a falling off. but rather the gale was
increasing at that hour.
The official indications for the South
Atlantic states to-day are: Generally
colder, fair weather, northerly winds and
higher barometer.
BLOCKED BY FIRE.
The Atlanta Express on the Central
Railroad Delayed by Burning Track—
The Passengers Transferred to a Spe
cial Train.
The Atlanta express, due. in .Savan
nah at tne Central’ Railroad depot
at 3:25 p. m., did npt arrive
yesterday, owing to the burning of
the track between Bloomingdale and
Eden stations, about fifteen miles west of
the city. Superintendent Rogers was in
formed" of the fact and ordered up a
special train, consisting of two ears and a
locomotive, to proceed to the scene of the
fire to meet the Incoming train and trans
fer the passengers and mail.
The special train left the city at 3:30
o’clock with the Superintendent on hoard,
and returned at 5:30. the express remain
ing on the other side of the burned sec
tion. About sixty yards of stringertraek
were destroyed. The woods on both sides
of the road for some distance wer# on lire,
sup|osed to have been set by malicious
parties. A lorce of track bands were or
dered to the scene, and began relaying the
track, which, it was expected, would be
completed in time for the up
ward-bound express. The passengers
on the special spoke of the promptness
and facility by which a serious delay was
obviated. The westward bound train at
7:30 o’clock left on time, and it was ex
pected would pass all right.
MONTGOMERY’S BOOM.
How the Charming Resort is Attracting
Attention.
Montgomery, the terminus of the City
and Suburban Railway, is having a little
boom of its own since the establishment
of the line of steamers between that point
and Fernandina. Heretofore it has been
an unknown spot except to the people of
Savannah, and its pleasant grounds and
cosy hotel were only used by a
few local pleasure seekers. No place
among the many desirable
localities between Wilmington, North
Carolina, and Indian River, Florida, is
more beautifully located and has a more
equable climate "than this pleasant subur
ban resort on Vernon river. It is sheltered
by the surrounding pine forest from the
north winds, and its open front to south
and seaward gives it the advantage of
the soft winds from that quarter. There
is a lirst class hotel—the “Bellevue”
—at. Montgomery, under the charge
of Mr. J. 11. A. Bruce, an experienced
caterer. The returning tourists have dis
covered the advantages of this pleasant
resort, and many of them have stopped at
the Bellevue for a day or two, and leave
it with regret.
THE BOARD OF TRADE.
Annual Election of Officers —An Inter-
Contest.
The election for officers of the Hoard of
Trade took place yesterday and resulted
as forestalled by the announcement in the
Morning News. During the balloting
considerable interest and enthusiasm was
manifested by the members for their in
dividual candidates, and while all the
gentlemen elected received a very flatter
ing vote, Messrs. James K. Clarke, I’resi
d.T.t, C. S. Ellis, Vice President, and Jas.
B. West, of the Board <ff Directors,received
almost a unanimous vote. The following
are the names of the officers and directors

(ra])o Culture in Georgia.
In conversation with a gentleman deeply
interested in the culture of fruits and
plants a day or two ago, a N kws reporter
was given some interesting informa
tion concerning the growth of small fruit,
among which was the grajie.
“The scuppernong,” he said, “grows
wonderfully well in this section of the
country. Mrs. Forster, of Georgetown,
S. C., has over fifty vines from 12 t< 15
years old covering a large area. With
proper care, they will yield an income
not to be despised even by those in the
most affluent circumstances. In this city
Mr. J. B. West has a scujiperuong vine
11 years old covering 120 square feet.
Two years ago it produced over 100
bushels of grapes. Facts like these ought
to induce our planters and all those who
have an acre or so ol ground to cultivate
that rich vino that grows so luxuriantly
all over the country and yields so bounti
ful a harvest with hardly any labor be
stowed ujton them.”
Getting Beady for the State Fair.
At the recent meeting of the State Ag
ricultural Sosiety in this city it was de
cided to hold a State Fair in Macon next
fall The Executive Committee asked for
$3,000 to guarantee the success el the
fair. A canvass has been made among
the business men of Macon, and nearly
that amount lias already been raised.
The citizens have guaranteed to the
society the amsunt wanted, but on the
condition that one-halt of it be devoted to
premiums for horses and racing, the other
half to be used as the society may elect.
The people of this part of the State are
interested in the fair and will lie repre
sented in all its departments. The com
mittee, it is understood, will make tine
stock and racing among its chief features.
The city ol Macon has offered to put the
jiaik, in which the fair will he held, in
good repair and will erect suitable build
ings for its purposes.
Father Selileuke Gone to Columbus.
The Rev. Father Schlenke, assistant
to the pastor of St. Patrick’s parish, in
this city, having beefi ordered to Colum
bus, Ga., to take charge of a parish there,
took his departure by last night’s Central
Railroad train. The usual Wednesday
evening services were being held in the
church, but the pastor, Rev. Father
O’Hara, after exjiressing his deep sym
pathy with bis parishioners in the re
moval of Father Schlenke, and paying a
high tribute to his zeal and efficiency,
dismissed the congregation in time for
them to bid farewell and God-speed to
the departing clergyman. Father Schlenke
was held in deservedly high esteem by the
people of St. Patrick’s, and takes with
him many assurances of their affection.

THE VERNAL SKIES.
Aspect* of the Planttsin April—Eclipses
of the Sun and Moon.
April of this year is a remarkable
month astronomically. One poiDt of in
terest is that the planets are all evening
stars, something that happens very sel
dom. On Monday they will all be grouped
on the eastern side of the sun, Mercury
nearest, then Venus, the Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
There will be two conjunctions during the
month, one of which, that of Neptune and
Mercury, is invisible, but the other may
be seen plainlv. and will present a beau
tiful sight. On the 12th, early in the
evening! a group that is seldom seen to
gether will adorn the western sky. Venus
is the most prominent gem in the cluster,
and about four degrees south is Saturn, a
bright planet shining with a serene and
mellow' lustre. About four degrees lur
ther south still is the ruddy A'debaran
with his attendant Ilyades, and only half
a degree west of Yeniis the little Pleiades
are found, almost eclipsed by the light of
the beaming goddess.
The deceitfulness of appearances was
never better illustrated than by this re
markable conjunction. Venus," bv far
the brightest, is also much the smallest
of the entire group. Saturn, which shines
next in brilliancy, is nearly 900 times her
size. Aldebarari. in turn, who appears
less brilliant than Saturn, is a magnifi
cent flaming sun many times larger than
our own central luminary, while one of
the apparently insignificant Pleiades. Al
cyone. is supjiosed l>y many astronomers
to be-the grand central orb "around which
turns the whole universe of suns in
rhythmical harmony.
But Venus does not reign sole monarch
of the western sky. Her glory is hidden
behind the horizon soon after 10 o’clock,
and from then until midnight Jupiter is
supreme. Him follows, at half-an-hour's
interval, the now fast fading Mars; and
the feeble Uranus, scarce visible at all.
closes the magnificent procession at 3
o’clock in the morning.
A lietter chance than usual ot viewing
the elusive Mercury w ill be afforded on
the 25th, soon after sunset. He will then
tea short distance southwest of the Plei
ades, and may be found by keen-sighted
observers.
The moon fulls on the 10th at 6:44
o’clock, standard time.-and wins the honor
of leing the Easter moon and thus deter
mining" lor the year the dates for the
movable fasts anil feasts of the church.
On the 3d, the day after the first quarter,
the moon is in conjunction with Jupiter,
on the 4th she is at her nearest j>oint to
Mars, aud on the Bth to Uranus. She
then proceeds on her way without draw
ing near to a planet until the 26th, the
day arter her cbhnge, when she is in con
junction with Neptune and Mercury.
On the 27th she is in conjunction with
Saturn, and on the 28th with Venus.
A total eclipse of the moon occurs on
the loth, partly visible in this vicinity,
and visible as a total eclipse in jiortions
or North America, the Pacific ocean and
Asia. The eclijise begins three minutes
atter 4 o’clock in the morning, standard
time. The total phase commences at
eleven minutes after 5 o’clock, just before
the moon sets, when the exhibition closes
for this longitude, and observers further
west enjoy the total obscuration.
A partial eclipse of the sun occurs on
the 25th, invisible in the United States,
but visible in the Southern Pacific ocean.
The greatest magnitude of the eclipse is
.754 of the sun’s diameter.
SAVANNAH OYSTERS IN THE NORTH
Opportunities for a Large Business from
Southern Waters.
The shipment of Savannah oysters to the
Philadelphia market has created a boom
in the oyster trade there. The exjieri
ments made by dealers here of sending to
Northern markets have not hitherto been
successful. Last year an invoice was
shipjied to New York with a loss tothe
shipper. The Philadelphia market, how
ever, seems to have a place for them.
The Ledger says for some time past that
the general stock of oysters in that mar
ket has been of very jioor quality, which
is attributed to the depletion of the oyster
beds in Maurice river cove and Delaware
Bay. Dealers say that all the best oysters
in "the beds have been gathered, but
the demands of the market have
prompted the continuance of the dredg
ing of poor, half-grown oysters. This
deterioration in these beds lias been going
on at the latter eud of the season for sev
eral years, and the demand for oysters of
a better quality has brought into the mar
ket. commencing about three years ago
and increasing yearly, a splendid article
from the Rapjiahannock river in Virginia.
The Savannah oysters are still finer than
the Rappahannocks, and bring readily a
dollar more per barrel containing about
500. On Friday Maurice river cove oysters
were selling wholesale for $3 and $4 jier
1,000; Rappahannocks $4 per barrel, and
Savannahs for $5. The shipments are being
made irom Thunderbolt and Wilmington
Island, none of the city dealers having
ventured into the market Although the
season is now- virtually closed, it is
believed that if the Northern beds arc in
their present condition next fall, a large
business will be carried on from this port.
Fell from a Third-Story Window.
On Tuesday Henry Woods, a boy 15
years old, an inmate of the Bethesda
Orphan House, while cleaning glasses in
a window of the third-story of the build
ing, fell to the ground, a distance of thirty
feet, breaking bis right leg and arm. Dr.
Dujiont, of the Isle of Hope, was sent for,
but, there not being any ujipliunees at
Bethesda to fix the broken limbs, the boy
was sent to the Savannah llosjiital for
treatment.
A Vigorous Kick.
Savannah, Ajiril 2 .—Editor Morning
.V ews: Your article in issue of the 26th
tilt., regretting the use to which our
beautiful Park extension has been de
graded, quite echoes the sentiments of
those of your readers who live in this
vicinity.
It is out of the question to allow our
children to jday there, not only on ad
count of the danger from Hying balls, but
because of the shocking language used by
the young reprobates who generally coni
j>ose colored base ball clubs.
Was it not a rather curious freak on
the part of our Aldermen to permit base
ball played in a place of such resort as
the extension has been heretofore J
And it must be highly gratifying to
those noble ladies of Savannah who la
bored for years raising money to erect a
monument to our dead to find their efforts
so appreciated that the sjiace surround
ing their work has been turned over by a
generous corporation to base ball pur
j>oses. Respectfully,
Parade Ground.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near and Afar.
The Live Oak. Tampa and Charlotte
Harbor Railroad will be completed to
Gainesville between the Ist and 10th of
April.
President Mitchell, of the Augusta and
Sandersville Railroad, says he has money
enough on hand to grade twenty miles of
the road. The subscribers are "paying up
promptly.
Capt. W. A. Little, of Cusseta, says
that a railroad from Chattanooga, Tenn.,
to St. Marks, Fla., will eventually be
built, and that Lumpkin will be directly
on the line.
There is a road projected to run from
Baltimore to Atlanta, which is at present
in a weakly condition. The road is already
completed .to Lexington, Va., and is
graded to Salem; from Salem it is to run
to Asheville, aud from Asheville to At
lanta.
From Chattahoochee to Jacksonville the
track of the Floral City route has been in
bad order, but new rails have been
purchased and are being put down as
rapidly as practicable. The roiling stock
is being put in good order, and decided
improvements are being made all along
the line.
The Live Oak Bulletin says: “We learn
that the Plant Investment Company have
suspended operations on the various rail
roads in South Florida until the right of
way is secured on several lines. They
are still working on the L. T. and C. H.
'Road, however, and will comjdete it to
Gainesville in abosit 6ix weeks. The cars
now run to Newnansville regularly.”
The Columbus Stitt says: “A meeting
of several oi the prominent warehouse
men and merchants of this city was held
yesterday for the j.urpose oi devising
some scheme by which they can retain
the trade of Marion and Stewart counties
against the efforts which are now being
made to carry it in another direction. The
meeting was private, and it is thought
best not to give publicity to its plans un
til they are more fully developed. It is
pretty’ generally understood, however,
that an effort will be made to build a nar
row gauge road, or probably to extend the
Columbus and Rome, from this city to
Lumpkin. Mr. B. T. Hatcher was ap
pointed a committee of one to visit Savan
nah and see upon what terms the Central
Railroad officials will undertake the build
ing of the road. There are also other
matters of vital interest to the city, which
he will lay before the officials of the Cen
tral. Messrs. C. A-Redd and W. L. Till
man were appointed a committee to pre
pare a communication to Captain Raoul,
and as soon as they have comjdeted this
work. Mr. Hatcher will leave for Savan
nah.”

Burnett’s Cocoaine has been sold in
every civilized country, and the public

cheapest and best Hair Dressing in the
world.
Burnett’s Flavoring Extracts are in

B. H. Levy & Bro.’s Grand Opening of
Spring aud Summer Clothing.
It will be worth while for anybody who
wants good clothing for Men, Y’ouths
and Boys to come and see our New Stock,
which is now full, comjdete and ready for
msjiection. As to prices and quality, we
defy comjtetition. Opposition, they say,
is the life of trade, hut where real merit
and low jirices are the established foun
dations of a business, opposition proves
unavailing. Such a house is ours. If
you really desire to save money, visit our
store. Walk through the establishment;
you will be welcome whether you pur
chase or not. Come early while the stock
is fresh and sizes and styles are plenty.—

The uniform scale of prices, the eleganee

home-like appearance of apartments, have
placed this popular hotel among the taost
prominent or the South, which reflects
great credit on its manager, who leaves
nothing undone to enhance the comfort of
its numerous patrons.
No family should be without Budweiser.
The Harnett House, Savannah.
The wonder of those who go to the Har
nett House, in Savannah, is that so excel
lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can be offered to the public at such mini
mum rates. AV’ithout exaggeration, the
table of the H arnett is as good as that of
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sum of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—
Jacksonville ( Fla.) Herald.
Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
dutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, allays
all jiain, relieves wind, regulajos the
bowels, and is the best known remedy tor
diarrhoea, whether arising from teetliing
or other causes. 25 cents a bottle. — Adv.

This Year’s Easter Cards.
The popularity of Easter Cards appears
to be on the increase. The favorite festi
val of the Christian Church throughout
the world, everything that honors its ob
servance, appeals to a large portion of the
public. Hut apart from this the fashion
of sending cards at certain seasons has
become more usual from year to year, and
perhaps at Easter is the more appre
ciated, as it is not a time when gifts of a
more important character are given, as
they are at Christmas. The beauty aud
value of these cards is largely dependent
upon novelty of design, and those now
on exhibition at Messrs. Davis Bros.’ the
art stationers, show a variety which is
really marvelous. Cards of every size
are designed by well known artists, and
many of the most beautiful are reproduced
upon satin, and mounted in different
ways. Prices as low as usual.—-Veto
