Marietta Journal: The telephone wire
between Marietta and Atlanta is run on
the telegraph polosalongsideof three tele
graph wires. Now, it is something re
markable that duplicates ot the telegrams
passing over the telegraph wires drop
down on to the telephone wire and are
carried into the central office of the Tele
phone Exchange here. The telegrams
pass through the switch board on to the
telephone wires around town, and into
the stores and residences where there are
telephones. Thus our citizens are kept
in close communication with the com
mercial world. The fluctuations of the
Loudon Stock Exchange arc heard simul
taneously through the telephones in our
lttle city, although our citizens are per
k'tly unconscious of the fact.

Arlington correspondence News, June
3: The recent rains have been abundant,
and the crops are looking well; the oat
crop particularly has improved wonder
fully, much to the delight of the farmers
and their hungry stock. No corn has been
snipped to this point this season, and it is
very probable that none will be needed.
Our merchants have a good deal of good
sound corn on hand which they took in
during the winter and spring, but which
they cannot now dispose of at 65 cents,
except in very small quantities.—The
woods are lull of commercial travelers
with samples of fall and winter goods.
The cry is, “Who will buy ” Very likely
some of the more enterprising will be
around in a short time with samples
for next spring stocks. There
is nothing like taking time
by the forelock.—Abe Blocker, the leader
of a band ot negro ku-klux, who entered
the house of some peaceable people last
fall and killed an inoffensive boy, and who
escaped from the guard after arrest, has
been captured and is now in Morgan jail.
The last grand jury found a bill of indict
ment against him for murder, and the
Governor offered a reward of $l5O for his
arrest and return to the authorities. Cal
houn Superior Court convenes next week,
and it is almost a foregone conclusion
that Abe will soon have an opportunity to
follow those who have gone to glory from
the gallows.
Several weeks ago Mr. Newell, the con
tractor building the artesian well at Quit
man, struck a strata of very hard flint rock
—so hard that with the most highly temper
ed drills he could notgomore than one-halt
to three inches per day. However, at
that snail’s gait he went through, and
suddenly his drill dropped about ten feet,
and soon thereafter he discovered that he
had reached a strong, bold stream, ten
feet deep. He continued to go down, but
encountered an even harder rook than
above. He worked day after day and still
with no success, and for three"weeks he
did not go more than six inches. Seeing
that no progress was being made the
Council decide tojtry dynamite and made
a trade with a Chattanooga expert to
make the experiment. This party placed
fifteen pounds of the explosive in the hole
made by the drill, and then sent down a
small cartridge to explode it, but the
small one exploded when about half wav
down and tore up the casing. This was
straightened, nnd he was preparing to ex
plode it by electricity when he was called
home to a sick wife’s bedside. Dr. Snow
and ex-Mayor Averett took up where the
expert left off. They connected the bat
tery, and a low distant rumbling sound
was heard. The explosion had been made,
and groat was the commotion. The
houses, stores and shops for 300 yards
around were shnken to their foundation—
the whole town was shaken up, and the
rock below was shattered.

The 17-Year Locust.
Among my reminiscences is one that
seems to contradict the theory of the regu
lar appearance of the “17-year locust.”
Anno domini 1824-25 found me at school
at Dr. Rudd’s Academy, in Elizabeth
town, N. J. The locusts appeared in one
of those years, hut which 1 cannot exactly
determine, but think it was in 1825, as the
half dozen Georgian boys there told the
Northern boys, who had jeered them on
the election of John Q. Acjams over Mr.
Crawford, that it was a visitation on the
North for electing Mr. Adams over such
“a brave man” as Gen. Jackson. About
the same time another unusual ap
pearance attracted our attention in a
shower of small frogs, about half an inch
in length. A heavy cloud poured its con
tents over our part of tho city and ar
rested two of us, who were recovering
from fever and ague, from a proposed ride
with our doctor’s wife in a carriage, hired
for our benefit and at our cost wnen occa
sion made it convenient for her to pay a
visit in the country. We rode for a long
distance over myriads of the little things,
who strewed the road as thickly as ever l
saw “fiddlers” on our sea beaches.
How extensive the locust visitation was
1 do not know, but am very certain about
that around Elizabethtown, now known
as Elizabeth City, N. J.
They may not appear all over the coun
try at once, and.it 1 am right in my dates,
they should have reappeared in New .Jer
sey in ’42, ’56 and '76. R. W. 11.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1885.
LEON COUNTY’S AIM.
Railroad Connection With the Savan
nah. Florida and Western to be Se
cured at Once.
Tallahassee, Fla., June s,—At a
meeting ot the citizens of Leon county,
in Tallahassee, June 2, 1665, a commit
tee of three citizens—namely: Edward
Lewis, John Bradford and D. W. Gurynu
—was elected and constituted a board of
trustees and authorized to receive dona
tions of lands, moneys and other proper
ties, to be used in building a railroad from
Tallahassee to some point on tho
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
road, in Southern Georgia, and also
to contract for the location, construction
and equipment of said road. This seems
to be the most practical and important
: step yet taken in regal’d to the building
' of this short line, which would unite tho
: railroad systems of Georgia and Florida,
and thus bring this most favored portion
of Florida within more direct and speedy
communication with Savannah and the
eastern markets. This section of Florida
i has always patronized Savannah
merchants and business men, and the
| erection of this connecting link now would
; secure to Savannah the trade which natu
rally belongs to her. hut is now being at
\ traded to Jacksonville and New Orleans
because of the more direct means of oom
j munication with those cities. The people
j of Leon county, Fla., and Thomas county.
On., recognizing the substantial and
immediate benefits to be derived irom the
construction of this line are subscrib
ing lauds and money liberally, and
the prospects are that sufficient
funds will soon be raised to insure the
j building of it. The citizens are doing
their whole duty in the matter, aud will
heartily support capital Irom abroad used
in this important enterprise. This line
will be a profitable one from the begin
ning, as it will have a large and fertile
! territory irom which to draw support;
i the large cotton, lumber and stock-rais
ing interests along the proposed route
will improve and increase from the mo
ment the work is commenced
on the road. Besides this link
would bring Georgia, and particularly
| Southern Georgia, in intimate relations
with tho large coast trade which naturally
seeks an outlet at St. Mark’s. Tne St.
Mark’s Road to Tallahassee is in good con
dition, and it only remains to build the
thirty miles which would conneot it with
the South Georgia system. The trustees
appointed for this important work are
among the very best business men in the
State, and they possess the entire confi
dence of the people. W.
THE SIEGE OF CARTAGENA.
Barbed Wire an Directive Military De
fense—Tlie Brice of Cat*.
Xew York Tribune Letter.
Cartagena, May 16.— Philip, of Spain,
looking westward from nis palace win
dows at Madrid one evening at sunset, re
plied to an inquiry of one of his courtiers
that he was trying to see those walls of
Cartagena which had cost so much
money. “I am sure,” said the King,
“that they must be of silver, and will re
flect the setting sun.” President Nunez
has reason to be grateful to the royal
Philip tor building those same
walls so high and strong, for after a siege
of three months the rebel army of
Gytan has retired discomfited and baffled
from the attempt to take the city. Ad
miral Jouett, with tho flagship Tennessee,
arrived here on May 13. He was accom
panied by the Alliance, the Powhatan
being already here. The Admiral had
been so successful in his efforts to arrange
matters between the rebels and the gov
ernment troops at Panama without blood
shed that he brought Gen. Reyes down
here to meet commissioners from the
rebels who should arrange terms of sur
render, for it was known that the rebels
desired to give up the fight if they could
make terms advantageous to themselves.
The isthmus and tne interior being in
the hands of the national forces, the
rebels had been making great efforts to
get into Cartagena in order that they
might hold it as a place to treat irom. On
the night of May 7, Gytan mustered all
his forces for a irenera! and final assault
on the city. His fleet of five armored
steamers and a bark moved up as near
the city as the obstructions would allow,
and op'ened tire. The fleet was command
ed by an American soldier of for
tune "named Eckert. About midnight
Gytan landed 2,500 men on the
beach back of the city, and made a rush
lor the walls, which "at that point were
no; more than fifteen feet hign. The at
tack was intended to be a surprise, and
the men swept up the beach rapidly and 1
silently. They were in double line of bat
tle, the first being provided with scaling
ladders. One wing was led by the de-
stroyer of Colon, Pedro Prestan. Along
the ramparts not a light was seen and not
a sound was heard. The attacking party
was within a few yards, indeed a part of
it was within a few ffietof the walls when
tho first line struck some lines of barbed
wire which had l>een stretched along the
beach, and became tangled up in it.
Across a narrow causeway leading
straight up to the walls no wire had been
stretched, and along this causeway those
who were not entangled in tho wire
poured in a solid column. Instantly 100
locomotive headlights flashed out along
the ramparts and a Gutting gun, trainod
full on the causeway, opened its murder
ous fire. A thousand rifles and several
pieces of artillery opened tire at the same
time. Thirty ol the attacking party scaled
the walls and were made prisoners. The
rest fled precipitately or lull dead where
they stood. On the causeway and en
tangled in the barbed wire dead bodies
lay thick when the sun rose next morn
ing. In killed, wounded and prisoners
the rebels lost ’IOO men. Gytan witndrew
the remnant of hie torees to the Impregna
ble fort of ban Phiiipe, and on the morn
ing of May 13 embarked on his flotilla lor
Barranquiila. The first gun that was
fired against tho city of Cartagena was
fired by Eckert. The last gun that was
tired from the city on Jlay 7 killed him.
As Gytan was steaming out ol tbe Boco
Chico he met Admiral Jouett coming in.
The Admiral sent for him to come aboard
tbe flagship. He came, surroundeu by
his chiefs, but not accompanied by Pres
tan. That rebel and incendiary, he said,
was at Barranquiila. Tbe Admiral told
him that the entire country was in tbe
hands of tbe national troops. If he went
to Barranquiila and continued tbe tight
be would cause tbe death ol many people
and the loss ot much property, but would
in a short time be compelled to surrender
and be at the mercy ot bis conquerers. If
be surrendered now he would get bonor
ablv terms. Gytan said be would goto
Barranquiila and send back commis
sioners empowered to arrange terms with
(Jen. Ree. So here we are now. waiting
for the commissioners, who aro expected
to bo boro to-morrow.
When tbe force* of Gytan raised the
siege of Cartagc-ua tbe inhabitants were
on the verge of starvation. Cats were
selling at $5 apiece in the market tbe
morning we arrived here. Santo Domin
go Vila was not captured by the rebel*
as was reported, but escaped to the In
terior and joined the national army which
was moving to tho relief of Cartagena.
This army, 4,000 strong, i now within a
day’s march of the city.
in regard to tnu present wt-teol affairs
at the Isthmus it is tbe opinion of every
olio that every Atncricnu sailor and
marine who possibly can go home should
go. The government troops are lully able
to take care of tue transit and the remo
val of tbe American troops would not
only be acceptable to Colombians, but
would save tbe lives of tbe troops them
selves.

MR. VILAS’ GOOD SHOWING.
Over *133,000 Already Saved Per An
num in Bis Department.
From the Washington Post.
Good business principles, and an honest
and pure administration ol public atlairs
have already begun to work wonderful
changes in the Post Office Department.
The work of reform instituted by the
present government is spreading liko a
leaven through all the tranches of the de
partment, and the result will be a saving
of hundreds of thousands of dollars of the
public money without any decrease in
its efficiency or the quality ot its ser
vices. Considerable attention has re
cently been paid to tho improvement of
the mail service, and it has been found
that on many routes large amounts of
money have been paid rather as subsidies
to various companies than as proper re
muneration for the conveyance of the
mails. New contracts have been made,
better service has been secured,the useless
and unnecessary expenditures have been
cut oft', and $45,666 have been saved in the
annual expenditures of this division
alone. All this has been accomplished
with>n the last two months. In other
divisions almost equal savings have been
made. Postmaster General Gresham, in
awarding the contract for envelopes—not
lor departmental purposes, hut merely
for the use of postmasters in sending in
their monthly returns—selected an enve
lope made from a paper almost equal in
its fineness and thickness to Irish linen
paper. Postmaster General Vilas insti
tuted searching inquiries among the pa
per mills and at last found an envelope
fully equal in strength and usefulness,
but with not so much gloss and shine
upon it, and made a contract saving over
$42,000 a year. The quality of tne postal
cards has been much improved, and here
again, notwithstanding this fact, another
saving of over $7,000 has been effected.
When the contract ior the supplying of
postage stamps was being considered, the
Postmaster General gave the matter his
personal and careful attention. He had a
number of specialists before him, and
went through all the pros and cons of
steam printing and band printing. By
the latter process all the tine workof first
class engraving is performed. But, he
argued, tho peculiar shading only to be
produced by the hand process, although
noticeable in larger engravings, Is not
apparent in so small a thing us a postage
stamp, and this being the case, an
ordinary printer would be engaged to
do the work for which a first-class price
is paid. He had 500 sheets of stamps
struck off by steam printing, under the
eye ot an inspector, and, laving them side
by side with some done bv hand, he in
vited several gentlemen well able to judge
to select which they thought were the
better stamps. They invariably chose
those printed by steam, and accordingly
the contract was made for that kiud of
stamp. lie is convinced that the people
will say it is better than tne old one. By
this means a further saving of $33,000 was
made yearly.
Already, "then, in the first quarter of the
first year of the Democratic reform gov
ernment about $133,00*1 has been saved to
the public in the yearly expenses of this
department. In four years this will
amount to over half a million dollars.
But this will not he all. Further changes
will soon be made which will increase
this splendid total.
The postal inspecting service will be
improved by the introduction of new and
better men aud the weeding out of the
disreputable members of it. The com
mission which was appointed some time
ago to examine into the affairs oi this di
i vision has been devoting itself energeti
cally to its work, and within a short time
an examination of the Inspectors will be
held.
MURFREESBORO’S CREAMERY.
How Milk Is Converted into Butter and
Cheese by Stesm.
From the yaehnilU A merican.
The Stone’s River Creamery Company
is now getting 4.000 pounds of milk per
day, from wnich are made 166 pounds ol
butler and 280 pounds of cheese. The
butter for the most, part is shipped to At
lanta and sold at 32cents per pound. The
company has an engagement to furnish
700 pounds per week to parties in that
city. The price of cheese is 10 cents per
pound, but it will probably be reduced
to 8 cents.
The price paid for milk is cents per
gallon. This will probably be reduced to
8 cents during the summer months.
The entire cost of the plant was $5,200,
including a steam engine and other nec
essary fixtures. To separate the cream
from the milk a Daniel Weston separator
is employed. This operation is performed
as soon as the milk is brought in from the
country. A large Blanchard churn, with
a capacity of 200 gallons, run by
steam power, makes the butter. Four
pounds of butter and seven pounds of
cheese are made from every 100 pound* of
milk, making the daily output of butter 16 )
pounds and of cheese 280 pounds. At
piesent prices this reaLz-ss76 20per day.
Only two persons, including the fireman,
are employed. It is estimated that $4 per
day will cover the cost of labor. The
other expenses are butter tubs, cans ior
milk, cheese cloths and boxes. It is esti
mated that six cents on every 100 pounds
of milk will cover these expenses.
Making the estimate on the daily sup
ply of 4,000 pounds of milk, the following
statement will show the daily profit:
I*o pounds butter at 32 rents ssl 2)
2SU pounds cheese at 10 cents 2s 00
Total value of products $79 20
From which deduct—
