-'(Savannah, Florida and Western jester- ;
iday and be saw acres ol car trucks scat
tered around; some waiting lor the j
wheels to be pressed farther on the axles,
iothers ready to go under the cars. The
actual time of compressing tlio wheels is
'hardly a minute to a truck, but
often there is delay in getting the trucks
(out from under cars. There are hundreds
of new trucks of the right gauge that arc
being used in place of the old ones. Both
. tue Savannah. Florida and Western rail
way and the Central from Savannah to
Atlanta will change June 1. By that
time the former road expects to have one

the spikes. On Friday and *at
itirday of next week section
Srnen on some of the roads, if not all, will
draw every other spike troin the outside
lof the rail to be changed, straighten them
and leave them handy for use on Monday
and Tuesday. One man on every section
will stay up all Monday night to wake the
! foreman when the tram carrying the sig
'•nal passes. Work will be begun at 3:30
(O’clock or as early as possible Tuesday
morning. Five men will be expected to

(train out of Jacksonville on time aud run
,1t through here to Savanuab by regular
schedule.
i Cars and locomotives are being dis
' tnbuted along over the road at W ay cross,
Gainesville and other points, to pickup

freight cars to send to the yards and be
changed when tbe new gauge was adop
ted. The entire cost to that road is put
at $300,00(1 and the cost of the entire
Change will exceed $2,000,000.

COWBOY ON A RAID,
A Texan from “Rauch 11” “Rounded
Up” by Hie Police.
“Knight, the boss cowboy of itanch 11, ”
spent yesterday and last night corralled
inaoellattha police barracks. On the
books be whs registered as 1 rank Ken
nedy, and it was also recorded that he
was in the Institution lor sale keeping.
About 9 o’clock In the morning Knight
went into George W. Bossell’s store,
at, Randolph and Jackson streets, and
tried to strike a trade on some whiskv,
offering a pistol in exchange. As he laid
one of the “guns’’ on the counter the
sharp-eyed proprietor noticed that his
customer had only a thumb on his right
band.
Mr. Boßsell had been reading in the
Morning .News the account of the rob
• fiery ol some mill hands at Peacock &
j Peterson’s mill, eignt miles from Tennille.
j in tbe description published by the Nkws
i it was stated that the supposed robber, a
i man named Kennedy, had all the fingers
,of his right hand oft. Mr. Hassell thought
j mat the coincidence was sufficient
Ito warrant him in sending for a police
' man. Sergt. Owen Reilly dispatched Of
ficer J. T. Michael, and In a little time
Knight was before the bar at the bar
racks. lie gave his name ns Frank Ken
nedy, and protested as a citizen of the
Lone Star State against being “rounded
up” in any such manner. Upon being
searched he proved to be a walking ar
senal. An ugly looking pistol was taken
from one pocket, a razor trorn auotber,
and another pistol from a third pocket.
The dispatch to the Nkws said that
Kennedy had the letters “F. C. K.”
branded on his left arm, and the police
found the letters on the loft arm of their
prisoner. He was accordingly detained !
and during the day be apostrophized his J
fate by repeating the line:
“Yo bars and walls, I was once free.”
A telegram was sent to the Sheriff of
Washington county notifying him of
Kennedy’s arrest, and an officer is ex
pected here after him to-day.
Early Thursday night Knight paid the
Nkws a visit, and gave a short sketch of
himself, but he omitted all mention ol the
Tennille episode. The dispatch was not
received until late, and the lasso thrower
escaped being interviewed iu regard to
bis connection with that occurrence. He
inquired particularly for the chief of the
local staff, and it was alterwards sur
mised that, perhaps, he wanted to make
an official statement. He seemed es
pecially anxious to impress upon thestafl
that, he was a real live cowboy, one of the
first water. Gore and whisky were his
natural elements. Little scrimmages
with Mexicaus and Indians, in which two
or three greasers or redskins were shot,
were things of daily occurrence in the
neighborhood of ranch 11, he said. Knight
stated that the boys on bis ranch take the
Morning Nkws and several other papers
and tie thought he would like to see the
press running. The editor he wanted to
see did not happen to be in and the
ranclioro went off without unbosoming
himself.
Down in tbe business office of the
Morning News he said he was a native
ol Bibb county but had been on a cattle
ranch near Corpus Christi, Tex. The
ranch is owned by Johns & Cos., of New
York, and Knight claimed that he had
just been to New Y'ork and sold 1,000
cattle.
STEAM ENGINES IN THE CITY.
A Necossity In Carrying on Business
—Action of the Cify.
An adjourned meeting of the City Coun
cil was held yesterday. A report of the
special committee appointed at the last
meeting to consider a protest filed by a
number of Congress street merchants
against the erection of a steam engine,
permission having already been provis
ionally granted by the Council for its
erection, was received.
Tho engine which it is proposed to erect
is to supply power for the new steam
laundry at 131 Congress street. The orig
inal petition for permission to erect the
engine at the atiove place was presented
to tbe Council some time ago and was re
ferred to the Fire Committee. After an
investigation, the hire Committee
reported favorably upon the pe
tition, recommending that It be
granted, with the understanding
that no objection be raised bv owners of
property, adjoining the premises, upon
which the engine was to be located. The
petition was tiled by Mr. L. Kayton. It
was understood that there would be no
protest, and tbb engine and machinery
tor tbe laundry were ordered.
At the last meeting ot Council a formal
protest against the erection of tbe engine
was filed by a number of property owners,
who stated that it would increase the
fire risk, anil consequently tho rate of
insuratioo upon their property. After i
some discussion, the protest was 1
referred to a special committee
with instructions to invest,(gale and re-'
port to Council whether an engine
properly built would increase the fire
risk and whether the protest was well
founded. The special committee in its
report yosterday recommended that per
mission to erect tho engine be granted,
provided it be put up in accordance with
the city ordinances and m such manner
as the Board ol Underwriters may pre
scribe The report was received aud tho
following resolution was passed:
Reeolrnt, Thai the action of Council taken
on petition of L. lvavion for permission to
erect engine a( 111 Congress stivei, at meet
ing on May 6. !f>BG, be ami the sain : is hereby
rescinded, and that the said petition of Mr.
Kayton be granted, provided Unit the engine
ami holier be pot up in ac ord t. re nh the
ordinance of June 2, last, ai amended vpril
15, 18(19, and such regulations a tile Board of
Underwriters may suggest.
Tho proprietors of the laundry state
that there will be no increase in the tire
risk. The question of allowing steam en
gines to be put up in the business part of
tho city has been frequently discussed in
Council. Their necessity to business is
fully recognized. Insurance men say
that ii properly put up they du not in
crease tbo fire risk.
In Behalf of th Seamen.
It has been deotned advisable by the
Board ot Managers of the Savannah Port
| Noclety to postpone the mass meeting in
j the interest of seamen, which the society
contemplated holding this spring, until a
later day, probably until some time in
the tall. The managers, after a confer.
enc* in regard to th*‘ matter, decided that
a meeting at this season of the year would
not nioduce the results tnat would
follow a meeting held later on, perhaps
early in the fad. In view ot this
fact it was decided to postpone the meet
ing until a future time in tie agreed upon.
Tbe deuitfion of the Board of Manager*
has been written to Rev. l)r. Wither
spoon, chaplain of t,no Seamens’ Friends’
Society, of New Orleans, who was ex
pected in the city to nd(lre*s a meeting
to-morrow. Dr. Witherspoon had mode
arrangements to come io Savannah. He
was Id Augusta on l'uuradav and an.

THE SIEGE OF SAVANNAH,
The Story as Told by Capt. Wyley
Years Ago.
The presentation Of an original portrait
of Count Pulaski to toe Georgia Historical
Society, brings to mind the story ot the
siege in which he tell, related to me by old
Capt. Alex. YVyley, of St. Simon's island,
my father’s first cousin, with whom I
spent a month full of adventure and stir
ring experiences before ray departure for
art study in Europe, in his youth the
Captain was an officer in the English army,
and although the owner of land in the
colony of Georgia was scarcely a citizen
thereof, therefore in adhering to the royal
cause, he was not fighting against his
countrymen. He was not a Tory, hut a
Loyalist, a* brave and generous in ami
after In'tic as he was amiable aud reli
able in private life. He and James Jack
son were raiher competitors for distinc
tion in war titan enemies, and sought
each other in the conflict, as ancient
knights looked for the escutcheons of
famous adversaries. Jackson proved
this when, after the confiscation of
Wyley’s property, he argued for aud suc
ceeded in securing its restoration on the
ground that the virtues of generosity
and benevolence displayed in the
hour of triumph by bis adversary
had b*en equal to those of courage
and manly submission to fate under de
teat. In this way the English officer be
came tbe good citizen ot Georgia and the
successful planter of the “village” planta
tion on St. Simon’s, near to Frederica.
Here I spent many pleasant hours and
heard many stories of man end events of
the Revolution, and of the colony now the
State of Georgia. One of these was this
account'd the siege of Savannah and the
defeat of the combined American and
French attack. The English lines, of
which he gave me a drawing, presented
by me to the city on my return, extended
from Spring Hill, inside of or little beyond
Jones street, to the low lands near Thun
derbolt road. They consisted of a double
line or “fieches” (arrow-head shaped
redoubts), in double line so placed
that the fire from the speond line swept
the faces of the first. YVtien I asked why
our men did not rush through the inter
vening spaces and attack the lines in the
rear, he replied that tbe cross-fire was
terrific, and that when out ot wadding
and canister the sailors of the Spring
Hill flaches used their caps as wads and
filled their cannon to the muzzle with
shot, fragments of iron and even frag
ments of rock and brick. Besides, had
they succeeded, there were bodies of in
fantry ready to meet them with the bay
onet, drawn up in relieving distance of
anv point.
He also stated that when the assailants
came to bury their dead and exchange
prisoners, they objected to receive the
mortally wounded and utterly dismem
bered French and Americans in exchange
for sound Englishmen. The reply was
“throw them in then,” and so they were
obliged to receive dying men or burv
them before life was ’out or the body.
Two or three years ago. in digging a
ditch near the corner of Abcrcorn and
Gaston streets, a number of hones were
unearthed, lying as if the bodies had been
placed in a common grave. Some thought
that they were the remains of the old
negro burying ground, but on examining
them, I concluded they were the bones of
white men, probably those of the
slain of one side or the other, as
Capt. NVilev had told nte the Americans
and French were burled where they (ell,
some distance beyond the lint s[ The
only skull or fragment of a skull I saw
was certainly Caucasian, hut as occa
sionally we find both the skull and the
jaw of the negro, very like low order
skulls ot other races. My opinion is not
worth much in deciding the case.
