THE LEW IKS SEASON.
The Churches Preparing fur the Pasting
Season and Penitantial Time.
To-day is known in the church calendar
as Shrove Tuesday. It derives the name
from the ancient practice in the Church
of Rome of confessing sins and being
shrove on this day. The day is observed
with special ceremony in the Roman
Catholic and Protestant Episcopal
churches. Its character as a popular
festival half a century ago was mirthful.
It was coneidered a season of carnival
like jollity and drollery.
The merriment strictly speaking began
the day before. Among the revels which
marked the flay foot ball seems In most
places In England to have been conspicu
ous
There were numerous local observances
of this day in Great Britain and other
countries. In later times its festival
character has been dropped and it is ob
sei ved only as a religious feast.
To-morrow the church will lay aside its
festival attire, and will begin the peniten
tial season. Special services will be held
in the Cathedral aud in the Protestant
Episcopal and Eutberan churches. -At

Hilton and Dollle Nobles In “Lave end
Law” To-night.
The sale of reserved seats for “Love and
Jaw,” by Milton Nobles and company, at'
tbs theatre to-night, began at Davis Bros.’
yesterday morning. The sale iB an assur
ance of a full house. The Philadelphia
says of the play that it is superior
to any of the London melodramas which
have scored such tremendous successes
during the past four or five years. It is
intensely dramatic and sensational, and
yet it is kept well In hand, and the situa
tions are all within the legitimate bounds
nf the story and Its natural surroundings.
It is abetter play than “Tbs Streets of
New York,” which had a famous run
some years ago, and Is altogether one of
the best American melodiamas we bave.
it is well balanced and la cleverly graded
to tbe climax. The supporting company
Is in every respect excellent.

FIX UP THE SIDEWALKS.
Tho Bad Shovvlug Savannah’s Streets
Will Make in Centennial Week.
All over tbe city there appears to be a
spirit of put things in order and get ready
| for the centennial in May. Everybody
| wants the city to look its best during cen
| teunial week. No doubt they would like
1 Savannah to have some Augustus who
! could change the brick for marble during
the next two months. There is no little
| talk about the condition of tbe streets aud
sidewalks, and ways to assist the present
| force are being discussed.
| The City Marshal, with anywhere from
j 60 to 70 miles of sidewalks to look after,
cannot begin to keep track of all the loose
; bricks that are constantly tnrnmg up.
When be finds a bad place or when one Is
- reported to him ho has to look up
I tbe lot owner and serve him with
a notice to repair tbe pavement.
Then he has to go back to see it the re
pairs have been made. If nothing has
been done tbe matter goes to Council
and another trip nr two is neoessarv. It
has been suggested that tbe police can
help the Marshal by reporting to him all
places that need repairing. In most large
cities the police report all boles and bad
places in the street and sidewalks on their
beats.
The mounted officers here make reports
from time to time. It is understood that
an amendment to the present ordinance
will be offered in Council before long.
The object of the amendment will be to
facilitate the repairs of the sidewalks and
streets by relieving the Marshal, at least,
ot a part of his present duties.
A number of lot owners in different
sections, from a feeling of pride lor the
city’s appearance, propose to repave their
share of the sidewalks between this and
May 1. If their example is followed by
all whose sidewalks are in bad condition
the city need not feel particularly ashamed
ol her streets.
SOUS IN A COURT ROOM.
*f Rleoks Weeps During the Trial
of her Husband for Abandonment.
George ltiecks and bis wife, Mrs. Agnes
Riecks, were on the witness stand of the
City Court for upwards of an hour yes
terday, the former as the defendant and
the wife as prosecutrix.
The husband was charged with having
absudoned his wife, thereby leaving b's
child dependent upon the mother. I.ittle
blue-eyed 9 months old Cleveland from its
grandmother’s arms looked on father and
mother making contradictory and deroga
tory statements, happily ignorant of the
meaning of all that was going on. Both
of the parents are young and not two
years married. Their stories, tnough
contradictory, in the main harmonized in
one respect, and that was mat they did
not live peaceably together. As in most
such cases each laid the blame on the
other. Rightolteu during Lawyer Bevans’
cross-examination the wife bad to brush
away glistening tears, and before all of
the questions bad been asked she hid her
face in her handkerchief and sobbed
piteously.
Hall a dozen witnesses or more were
examined. The defenseofferedtestlmonv
to show mst the husband spent $7 or $3
a week with the grocers before his separa
tion from his wile on Feb. 17. The hus
band was employed as a conductor on the
City and Suburban railway and was fore
man of the Barnard street line at a salary
orst2aweek. A great deal of the evi
dence was of a kind that even the lurid
tinted Illustrated weeklies would consider
hardly publishable. Tbe husband. In his
statement from the stand, said that he bad
told his wife he would give $3 a week to
ward the support of the babe is she would
quietly agree to a separation.
Solicitor General du Bignon interrupted
there and said that be was willing to nol
pros the case if Riecks would agree to
give bond for the maintenance of the
child. After some further argument the
defendant agreed to give the bond and the
ca sewas marked continued.
6IX MONXHS FOR WOOD SI EALING.
How Old Dudley Harrison Used to Rob
tbe Locomotive Tenders.
Six months on the chain-gang and
spring just beginning must have struck
old Dudley Harrison as hard luck. Early
one morning, about 10 days ago, the engi
neer of a train ou the Charleston and Sa
vaunah railway, saw a colored man climb
upon the tender when the train stopped
at tbe crossing of the City and Suburban
road.
Tue engineer and firemen thought that
somebody had been stealing wood off of
tbe tender lor a long time. They bad
never caught any one in tbe act, but bad
come to the conclusion that the wood was
taken when tbe train stopped at the City
aud Suburban crossing, as all trains
are required to do.
On this particular morning both were
on the lookout. 1 bey saw someone get
up at the rear end ol the tender and then
they beard a sliok ol wood fall off. Tbe
fireman jumped down on one side of the
engine and the engineer on the other, and
the fireman caught Harrison.
The old negro said that be just touched
the wood aud it leil off. He denied hav
ing ever stolen any wood, and he ex
plained his presence on tbe train by stat
ing that be frequently ride* into the oitv
sitting on a bumper or on the step* of a
car. Judge Uardeu considered the evi
dence sufficiently strong against llai ri
sen to give him six months, not so muob
for tbe theft of the single ten cent stick as
lor tbe systematic stealing which it was
pretty certain the old man had beeu carry
ing on.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. MARCH 9, 1886.
CURIOUS CASE SETTLED
The Government IS ttlsilrri that the Ma
con and Western raid Us Taxes.
A case of long standing on tbe docket
of the United States Circuit Court and of
interesting history was dismissed yester
day by order of Judge Emory Speer.
When tbe present United States Attor
ney, 8. A. Darnell, Esq., came Into oflioe
seven years ago, he found considerable
correspondence between his predecessor
and the department of internal revenue
about certain taxes said to be due the
government by the Macon and Western
Railroad company. The sum claimed by
the government was *11,691 61, which
was tbe amount of the tax on the gross
receipts of tbe railroad during a part of
the year 18(56. About 1860 the United
States Attorney was instruoted to docket
suit lor the recovery of the back taxes.
The defendant claimed that the taxes had
been paid. An examination of the rec
| ords in tbe internal revenue collector’s
i office at Atlanta was made but no evi
dence could be found that the money hail
over been paid. Toe government could
: not show that It had not been paid.
Tbe attorneys for both sides were wil
| ling to have tbe case postponed from term
to term, each hoping that some record
| could be found.
j in tbe rueuntirne the Maoon and West
; ern road was united with the Georgia
J Central. Finally the defendants discov
| ered an entry m one of the old books of
the taxes due and a check mark opposite
the same, indicating that it had been paid.
The Internal Beveuuo Department was
iniormed of the discovery, and acting
Commissioner Rogers instructed United
States Attorney Darnell to have the case
dismissed, us the depart men t wuh satisfied
that the taxes were paid, although there
was no record that the department bad
ever received tbe amount.
Orders were also taken granting leave
to amend declarations in the ejectment
cases of Doe, ex dera., Caroline M. Myrlck
vs. Roe; that Is, George Heard and the
same plain tiff vs. William E. A. Eden
held.
A PAIR OF COMETS
Two Celestial Wanderer* Making Rapid
Headway Towards the Earth.
Two comets are bowling along towards
the earth at a pretty rapid rate. They
have already been within the range of the
astronomers’ telescopes for over three
months, and within another month or six
weeks it Is probable that they will burst
upon the view of the general publio, or,
in other words, become visible to tbs
naked eye. Prof. Frisby, of the Wash
ington observatory, who has charge of the
comet department, has been making ob
servations for some time upon the celes
tial new eomers.
One of these comets is known as Fab
ry’s comet, and was discovered Dec. 1.
The other is Barnard’s comet, discovered
two days later. Comets receive the
names of their discoverers until they are
identified as being some comet known in
the past or until the yearly catalogue ot
comets is made up, when they are classi
fied by numbers merely, as “No. I—1886,”
“No. 2—1886,” aud so on.
These two comets not only came within
the rantre of the telescopes about tbe same
time, but it appears probable that they
will both be visible to tbe naked eye in
the heavens about the same time. They
will become visible, it is thought, about
the latter part of April or early iu May,
juet wuen the nigbte are becoming warm
enough to tempt lovers out for evening
strolls. A pair of oomets in tbe sky will
afford a most reasonable excuse for stroll
ingin the starlight. Fabry’s comet will
be in perihelion between April 6 and 10,
and Barnard's about May 3.
Both comets will come very near the
earth and the sun. They are now seen by
the astronomers in the early evening in
the northwest. Now they present the ap
pearance of vapory, nebulous masses,
with bright cent es, which are rapidly
growing brighter and more distinct in ap
pearance as the two wanderers approacn
tbe earth. Barnard’s comet has been sup
posed to be identical with the comet ol
1786, Rg its elements appear to be about
tbe same; but this has not been deter
mined with certainty.

Manager Morton, of Savannah, on Sat
urday telegraphed Reacb A Cos. an order
for one dozen bulls, and also wired that
the Reacb ball would undoubtedly be
adopted by tbe Southern League.
The Eastern league bas been completed
by the admission of Troy. The league
will be composed of the following cities:
Hartford, Waterbury, Meriden, Bridge
port, Providence, Jersey City, Newark
and Troy.
Hbtta Louisville and savannah were in
Practice yesterday siul each showed up
well. Arthur Erwin, Philadelphia*!! short
stop, was also on the ground picking,-up
the spbeie. It is probable that ou one
day In each week throughout tbe season
ludiflg will b# admitted to the grounds
free, the oeddsion being designated as
“Ladies’ Dap.”
Manager W. R. Harrington, of the Co
lumbus base ball club, writes that he has
secured Charles Williams as pitcher,
George Rooks as the left fielder, and Kd
ward Hogan In tbe right field, having re
leased Meinke, Crooks and McQuaid. He
will play the Detroits there March 15,16
aud 17. The club also has dates with
Philadelphia, St. Louis, Louisville, At
lanta and others. The club arrived in
Columbus on March 7.
_ A Savannah correspondent asks the
News what club won the pennant of the
United States last year, and which were
the winning clubs in the National league
and American association. The Chicago
club won the National league pennant aud
the St. Louis Browns that of tho Ameri
can association. It was subsequently
arranged that eleven games should be
played between these clubs for the cham
pionship of the United States. Six games
were played, virtually resulting in a tie,
when a wrangle arose and the series was
never finished.
All the recent accessions to the ranks
of tbe American aseoclation are men of
wealth. John Hauk, the new proprietor
of the Cincinnati club, is wortn more than
a million; Mr. Jonn Abel, ot the Brook
lyns, is the son of a retired merchant, and
can sign his check for many thousand
dollars; President Nimick, of the Alle
gheny eluo, is one of the richest men in
Pittsburg, and last, hut not least by any
means, is Mr. Erastus Wiman, the pro
prietor of the Metropolitans. He is one
of tbe self-made men ol New York, and
besides owning the greater part of Staten
island is one of the partners in R. G. Dun
& Co.’s mercantile agency, and owns a
big block of stock in the Western Union
Telegraph Company. He is worth $4,000,-
000 to $5,000,000.
The advisability of charging ladies an
admission fee to the park is being consid
ered by the management of the Savannah
association. It Is doubtful whether tbe
step would be a wise one, if taken. It is
understood that the matter has not yet
been fully decided, but that it is quite
likely that they will be admitted free, as
they have been beretoiore in Savannah
and in most of the Southern League cities.
It was not until very recently that Savan
nah ladies began to lend their presence to
base ball games. It is not customary to
charge ladies admission to the grounds,
except in A lew cities, and they have never
been charged in Savaunah' The only
charge that bas been made tor them was
at the grand stand. This charge is cus
tomary in all base ball towns.

Among other valuable lessons imparted
by this teacher is the fact that for a very
long time Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical
Discovery” has been the prince of liver
correctives and blood purifiers, being tbe

the able consulting physician to the rich
patient, and praised by all 'or its magnifi
cent service and efficacy in all diseases of
a chronic uature, as malarial poisoning,
ailments of tbe respiratory and digestive
systems, liver diseases and in all cases
where the use of an alterative remedy is
indicated.

COUNT HIBMAKCK’S ROMANCE.
How tbe Eldest Son of the GreatCUan
cellor Secured a Wife,
Berlin, Letter to the Paris Figure.
“All Is well tbateßda well” is the ver
dict of Berlin high society touching a
somewhat sensational romance that ter
minated a few days ago by a marriage,
performed quietly, indeed almost secret
ly, in a chateau hidden in Lower Silesia.
The exceptional indulgence manifested
on this occasion in Berlin high society
circles is explained by tho unique posi
tion of the principal actors in this ro
mance, the hero ol which is noue other
than Count Herbert Bismarck, eldest son
of the Cnancellor and the new Assistant
of the Emperor William, who spends an
hour each day In conference with the
young Count. The heroine is a Princess,
more celebrated for her beauty than her
great name, and whose portrait by Rich
ter, the son-in-law of Meyerbeer, attracted
a host of admirers to tbe Berlin salon of
1878. A dark brunette, with perfect bust i
and deep, dreamy eyes, and standing in a
walk in the midst of a leafy park, accom
panied by a magnificent Newfoundland
dog, the portrait evoked one of those
troublous visions which are but rarely
encountered in the mountains of Silesia,
where tho Princess of C.-B. resided. The
catalogue of the salon gave no further in
dication of her identity.
It was soon known, however, that the
portrait was that of the Princess of Caro
lath-Bentben, nee Princess Elizabeth von
Hutzfeldt-Traobonberg. While the salon
lasted Richter’s canvas had no more fer
vent admirer than a young attache of the
Embassy, who Is to-day Under Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs and who will
be to-morrow Secretary of State of the
German empire. During the entire win
ter ot 1878 the young attache became the
devoted cavalier and favorite dancer of
the Princess of Carolatb, who had quitted
her residence In Silesia to accompany her
husband to Berlin, where his duty as
member of the Reichstag called him. This
duty he performed with a zeal that caused
him to entirely forget that the Princess
was a beauty who needed the most vigi
lant protection, while he was absorbed in
questions of free trade and social econo
mies.
It happened that in themonthof March,
1881, “all Berlin,” that had so frequently
seen tbe Princess waltz with tbe son of
the Chancellor, learned that she bad sud
denly taken her departure for Florence to
rejoin her dancer, then attached to the
Embassy at the Quiriual. The anger of
the Chancellor knew no bounds, and the
most virtuous court in Europe was scan
dalized. Tbe injured husband was the
only one who did not lose his head in the
matter. He iuformed the fugitive that
he would facilitate her divorce so as to
allow her to rehabilitate her character by
marrying her seducer, for the German
code forbids tbe union of a divorced
woman with the man who pro
voked the divorce. The Prince von
Carolatb did not evince tbe least anger.
Everybody looked forward to the immedi
ate marriage of the pair ol lovers, when
it became suddenly known that the young
attache was back again in Berlin, having
left bis lovely victim in Florence alone
and ill in a furnished room. Tbe conduct
of tbe Count aroused the indignation of
compassionate souls, and the scandal
caused by the flight of the Princess was
changed into an ardent sympathy for her.
People for the moment forgot that she was
already of an age when such escapades
are rarely pardoned, and that she bad left
behind her a well-grown daughter of 13
years.
The Chancellor exercised his authority
and threatened bis son with tbe penalty
of not seeing him forevermore. To all
the pleadings of the son to legitimatize
tbe liaisou Prince Bismarck invariably
answered: “No, I shall never permit you
to marry the wife of a friend.” And be
sent the Count to St. Petersburg, The
Hague, and London snccessively, but the
Count’s passion for the Princess, although
the latter is older than himself (she is
now forty) did not grow cold, and he
succeeded a few days ago in bendiug the
iron will of the Cnancellor, who did not
wish to see his title of Prince lapse in
the family. The marriage took place lour
or five days ago In the chateau ol Tracb
enberg, the residence ol Prince Herman
vou Hatzfeldt, an elder brother ol tbe
Princess Elizabeth. The following curi
ous coincidence is worth mention: Tne
•mother of tbe Princess, nee Countess of
Reicbenbach-Gosciiutz, has also been di
vorced, after fifteen years of married life,
at tbe very moment her daughter bore the
name of Princess of Carolath, beiore be
coming Countess, and soon Princess Bis
marck.
IRISH IN AMERICA.
Is the Concentration of Sons or Brin In
Large Cities Deprecated?
Stayer Grace in Botton Poet.
At tbe last census the total number of
the population of Irish birth of all tbe
States and Territories of the Union was
1,864,671. The ten years ending in 1880
show that there were landed at the port
of New York alone a total of 379,368 Irish
emigrants. This population is distribu
ted in the following manner: 1,126,367.
or nearly two-thirds of ths whole, are lo
cated in the five States of Massachusetts,
Connectieutt. New York, New Jersev and
Pennsylvania; 391,632. or more than' one
balf the remainder are scattered through
eight of the Western States, from Michi
gan to Kansas, more than one-half of this
latter amount having settled in Ohio aud
Illinois.
Tale accounts for live-sixths of the total
native Irish population, the bulk ot tbe
remaining one-sixth being located in the
other Eastern States, and in the States of
Minnesota and Caliloruia. A glance at
these figures shows that the Irish have
distributed themselves amoug the States
containing tbe largest cities, and we are
tberelore not surprised to find that just
about one-half of tne whole number Is
spread amoug fifty of tbe principal cities
ot the United States, the five great oitiea
of New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Chicago and Boston absorbing more than
ODe-fonrtb of the whole.
Indeed, more than one-seventh of the
entire population of New York is of Irish
birth. 1 cannot but regard this tendenoy
to gravitate to tbe centres ot population
as untortunate in its effect upon tbe con
dition ot the Irish, aud 1 will ask your In
dulgence for a moment to a few statistlca
showing wbat this effect Is. of the total
nuinbtrof Irish born in this country !)7H..
854 are induairialiy occupied, Of this
number 140,307 are engaged in agricul
ture— 24.230 being agricultural laborer!,
and 107,708 being farmers and planters.
Of this number, too, 416.854 render per
sonal services, 122,194 living employed as
doinestln serv ants and 225,122 as laborers,
the small remainder (68,5:1.8) rendering
services of a higher grade; 138,618 are en
gaged In trad* aud transportation, a large
part or this number being clerks aud rail
way employes not clerks; 284,176 are in
manufacturing, obsmical and mining In
dustries, the majority being blacksmiths,
carpenters, shoemakers, mill operatives,
and mtnera. It would be Interesting, it
time permitted, to make a comparison of
these figures with those in relereace to
otbsr nationalities. 1 can pause only to
note, however, that of the whole number
employed only one-ninth are engaged in
agriculture, while nearly one-balf ren
der personal services of a not very high
grade.
