THE NEW PAVEMENT.
Broughtou Street Finished Yester
day and Opened for Travel.
The asphalt pavemoot on Broughton
•street, between Abercorn and West Broad
jetreets, is finished and the street is now
•open all the way through. It is not say
ing too mucu when it ts stated that the
pavement, therefore, gives general satis-
Tactiou. The contractors apjiear to have
Been determined to make it a good piece
<cf work, and so far as present appearances
3*o. they have su ’ceeded. The only ques
tion which is to be solved is how will it
•wear. Time can only demonstrate that,
hut asphalt paving has been tried in other
cities, noiabiy in New Orleans, and has
proved to be all that is claimed for it by
ats manufacturers and other advocates.
It has certainly so for captivated the peo
ple ot Savannah, and the cry is tor mole
of it. Some of the property owners on
Broughton street are putting dotvu good
sidewalks, and it is Hoped that all the
other owners will follow their example.
There should he no patching up of old
■worn out Bidewalks, but good, substantia!
brick or stone or other suitable pavements
should l>e put down. In the meanwhile,
however, it would not be a bail plan
for the wide awake Superintendent ol
Streets and Lanes ta make a clean sweep
ofold stone, loose bricks, rubbish atm
surplus dirt, especially on the sidewalks
on the newly paved streets. Such a
cleaning will prevent tbe asphalt from be
ing damaged, it will make the thorough
fare look shipshape and will encourage
people to put their sidewalks in good
order.

AN EARLY SUMMER EXODUS.
I’copie Beginning <<> 1 !lnk About
tlic Mountains anil Lukes.
There has been a lively inquiry at the
railroad ticket offices lor the past few
\ days about the summer resort travel, and
S the ticket a.-ents have been busy answer
-1 ing questions which is the best place to
igo to spend the summer. Most of the
! monutain resorts will open next week for
: me season. The ooening of the Green
! wood. Laurens and Spartanburg railroad,
: a connection of the Ge irgia Central, will
| open tip anew field lor summer travel,
and will shorten the distance between
! savannah and the mountain resorts ot
Western Carolina and Eastern Tennessee.
The demy in travel ouused by the
I change of gauge will continue lor several
dsvs. Owing to the changes which are
being made and which are to be made
the sleeping car service on all the South
ern reads will be badly interfered with
until June 2.
A good many people who expected to
leave town by June 1 will not leave until
a week or two later. The rush will begin
about June 20. All of the Georgia re
sorts are making preparations for a big
patronage. The ticket agents’ taoles are
loaded with summer resort literature,
and anyone with the first longing to
go among the mountains or lakes ear*
Hud on paper almost any ktud
ot plae<‘ that the imagination can picture.
The reduction in summer excursion rates
this year will tend to increase travel.
Excursion tickets w nl be pul on sale next
week, and on some roads ihe sleeping car
berths aro already taaen.
The prediction of the weather prophets
for a hot summer beginning early iu J .me
is seized upon as an additional reason lor
leaving early before the hot weather be
gins. For the week or two Pillowing
June line railroads will have about all
the travel they can accommodate.
WILD CAT AND DOG FIGHT.
Brutal Exhibition in the Eastern
Part of the City.
Seventy-five sports gathered in an eu
closoil lot in the eastern part ol tbe city
yesterday afternoon to witness a fight be
tween a bull dog and a wild cat. The
catwasa beautiful creature, with a sleek,
glossy coatof fur, tierce-looking whiskers,
sinewy limbs, and eves that shone like
brilliants. It had been in captiity about
ten days, and aside trorn some scratches
on its fora paws, trap marks, it was in
tine fighting trim. It was confined in a
wire cage not over 4 feet high and per
haps 10 feet long.
Tne battle was announced to
commence at 4:30 o’elock, and tho
crowd was thereby that time, hut the
dog was not. At the last hour the owner
decided that be would not tight his dog,
as some trouble might grow out ol it. The
spectators, who had paid a quarter of a
dollar apiece lor the privilege of seeing
the niiimals try to kill each other, sp nt
half an hour in sizing up the cat and
kicking at the prospector a postponement.
The dog expected is known as a great |
fighter, and wears the’ championship j
medal tor bavaunah. Finally someone ;
volunteered to get another dog. About
the time it arrived an alleged agent or ex
agent of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals' put. in an appearance
at the gate. Some parleying followed,
and two or three of tbe sports went out
side and walked around the corner with
the young tuau. When they came back
be was slapped familiarly on the back
and was passed in. ’ He walked
around among the crowd, and there was
no lurther delay except in getting the
white canine in the cage. The animal
was of the bull dog faintly, two years old.
and weighed 40 pounds He had never
beeu In any other tight than the common
street rows, wbioh every dog has more or
lees of iu his youth. ‘‘Jack” did not
yearn for a life amt death struggle, and
he snapped and growled every time his
ebony colored second tried to get hint in
theoage. He was put in though at last,
and tbe crowd began to yell “Sic him!”
The animals glared at each other sul
lenly tor a few moments, and it they
could have had their way they would
have gone off in opposite directions with
out molesting each other. But the brutes
in tbe cage could not escape, for those on
the outside wanted to see a fight. Neither
of the nnituals was disposed to be aggres
sive, but the eat would not permit any
attempt, at forming a peaceable acquaint
ance on the dog’s part. “Jack” soon
found out that he had a vicious compan
ion in his prison, and he acted warily.
First one of thecal’s paws and then the
other would fly out with the rapidity of a
flash ot light and catch “Jack” on the
jaws or body or flank. Ho gave
"sharp yelps of pain and tried to
gei. his mouth on tbe cat’s throat. For
several minutes he was unsuccessful, ami
at the end of tbe first two rounds he bad
only managed to get a few sharp bites on
the cat’s flank and body. After a short
rest in separate ends of tne ca re the
beasts went at it again and the lighting
was fierce and sharp. The oat bounded
from side to side uml from end to end of
tho cage as litbely as though its logs
were springs of steel.
First one was on top and then theot.her.
One minute the dog had a vise-like grip
on the cat’s throat, and the next minute
I lie cat's t,oth were buried in Ilia dog's
throat. The cat did very little lighting
lying on its back, which is the favorite
position of animals ot its family in a light.
Once It got a strong grip on tho dog’s
under jaw, and it hold on sav
agely. In 111 minutes il was
plain that tho animal of nine lives was
whipped, and in live minutes more it was
dead, with its throat, cut by the dog's
teeth. What little betting there was on
the tight was even. The crowd seemed
satisfied with the savage struggle and as
soon as the dog was declared winner the
spectators quickly left tne secne ot tne
brutal sport. It was rumortd ttiat the
authorities would attempt to break up the
tight and the crowd was a little shy lor
some time, half expecting a raid,' hut
there wits no interference, and the brutal
exhibition went on without an; inter
ruption.

For aome time past the question of puri
ty in baking powders has formed quite a

opinions as to the ingredients which com

down to the limit which awards tho Royal
Baking l’owder the palm of purity, ami
several of the most distinguished scient
ists have testified to their conviction that
no extraneous or deleterious matter en

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. MAY 28. 188 b.
| SAVA.N.VAH BADLY BEAT.
THE NAbHVILLES DEFEAT THE
HOME CLUB 5 TO 1.
A Shut Out up to the Ninth Inning—
j Strief Scores oil a Itad Throw of Nash
ville’* Third ISaßmiau and Saves the
Day—lnability to lilt Baker Loses Ba
v iiinali the Game—The Result of
Llm-vi lime.
Tbe home club came tbe nearest yester
day to being shut out that it has this sea
son. In tbe first game that Nashville
played Savannah the Tennesseeans had
Baker in the box, and were shut out 2 to 0.
Baker was again in the box yesterday.
Up to the ninth inning the Savannahs had
not made a run, and it looked very much
as though the other club was going to do
tbe shutting out this tune. In the ninth
inning Strief scored on a bad throw of
Murr, Nashville’s third basemaD, and
saved this much.
The crowd at Ford’s Opera House was
not so large as It was the day before.
Very little interest or enthusiasm was
displayed There was a good deal of
curiosity to know who would play third
base, Murray having been retired. It was
pretty generally understood that O’Day
would play third, though there was no
announcement of the lact, and it wag
something of a surprise when Mauager
Morton went into the game and took
Murray’s place. Morton played third
base with the Detroils two years ago.
The batting order of the club was also
clt nnged.
Hotallng was put first at the bat, with
Field s-cond, and Collins third. The
home club could not hit Baker, and in con
sequence lost the game. Neal was bit for
eight single bases, one two-bagger, and
one three-bagger. The game is the fourth
that Nashville has won Irom Savannah.
Nashville. May 27.—The inability to
hit Baker lost Savannahs tbe game to-day.
Their only run was made on a bad throw
by Marr in the ninth Inning. Nashville
hit Neal eight times and oiled up five
runs. The official score was:

THE CAPTAIN’S STORY.
The Keccjnt Shooting on tlic Hark
Lydia at Doboy.
Donor, May24.— Editor MorningVewt:
Having read iu your issue of May 20 an
account of what happened on board the
barken tino Lydia, port of Darien (Doboy),
I, as master of said vessel, feel it rny duty
to ask you to insert the lollowing: It is
true that a few words passed between my
steward nod myself, but they were not of
such a character as to be called hot.
Between 6 and 7 o'clock in the ntorning 1
asked my steward whether he was going
to prepare breakfast, and 1 got for an an
swsir that be was sick. I told him that
this sickness seemed to come ou very
suddenly, and asked him to bring me
some water. He answered that he could
not and would not bring it. I then toon the
pitcher and went myself for some, and
while entering tho cabin he
met me in the hallway with
a revolver and shot me. so that
the bail passed through tbe forefinger of
inv left hand, shattering the bone and
bruising the second tinner. The ball
struck the pitcher, shivering it to pieces,
which fact I consider of being the means
of saving inv life. Directly after I was
wounded I turned around and went for
ward to call the men, and when coming
there 1 heard a pistol shot in the cabin,
when the mate rushed into the cabin and
found the steward lying on the
floor dead, shot through the heart,
with the same pistol laying along
side of him. 1 immediately took the body
in mv boat, went to Dobov, called on tbe
Health Officer, Dr. Dunwoody, who
dressed my hand, examined the steward’s
wound and pronounced it a case of in
stant death I a:n to-day, that is, a week
since the accident happened, vet under
the treatment of Dr. Dunwoody. It is a
painful wound, and there is no doubt but
that I will lose the use ol my forefinger
through this accident.
In conclusion, I feel constrained to say
a tew words about tlie steward and my
self. 1 never had a man under mv com
mand in whom I placed so much confi
dence. and who pleased me so well; there
iore I was loth to lose him, therefore l
refused him his discharge, which refusal
I consider to be the cause of the whole
trouble. Gkokgk Lowery,
Master of barkentine Lydia.

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
The Prospects of the East Georgia
and Florida Railroad.
Vice President and General Manager
H. 8. Morse, of the East Georgia and Flor
ida railway, was interviewed a day or
two ago in regard to the proposed new
road. Mr. Morse was formerly general
manager of the Brunswick and Westerri
railroad, which position be resigned in
order to devote his entire energies to this
enterprise, which had, up to tnat time,
been lagging.
In reply to a question about the progress
of the road, Mr. Morse said:
“Everything is moving along nicely.
Contracts have been let for tho entire dis
tance between Jesup and Hart's road,
ana work is being pushed rapidly on each
of the five divisions.
“Our charter calls for a road from Jack
sonville to Augusta. The distance from
Jacksonville to Hart’s road is twenty-two
miles; from Hart’s road to Jesup, seventy
three miles; from Jesup to Mtllen, eighty
five miles. For the present we will reach
Jacksonville via the Fernandina and
Jacksonville road from Hart’s road and
Augusta from Milieu, via the Central
railroad of Georgia, which will give us
158 miles of road to build and 180 miles in
all, from Jacksonville to Millen. The
Iron for tho road between Jesup and
Hart’s road is all bought and paid for,
aud will be landed at Fernandina and
track laying will commence from Hart’s
road.
“Wo expect to have that portion from
Jesup to Hart’s road completed so as to
run trains into Jacksonville ou Oct. 1.
Macon anil tho Railroads.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia railroad has petitioned tbe City Coun
cil of Macon for permission to build a
passenger depot in Macon. The location
of the depot will be nearly in front
of the city bridge, on a well-drained
and level location. The plans of the build
ing show a magnificent structure, of mod
ern architecture, and substantially
planned. Bids are being received for tbe
excavation of the proposed site.
Concerning the lawsuit between the city
and tbe East Tennessee road, a Macon
special says but little can be gathered.
The city bases its claim on the fact that
tne land was granted from the city reserve
with tbe understanding that tlie shops
were to be located there permanently.
Other minor conditions of the contract, it
is averred, have been violated, and the
city will claim a forfeiture of title against
the road.
Mr. A. Hess, an English capitalist, is in
Macon said to be 100 - ing over the Macon
and Dublin line, with a view to investing
in it. Am eric us will try hard to attract
his attention toward their branch of tbe
proposed Savannah, Dublin and Western
Hues.
The Ctisu*e of Gauge.
A Nothern railway paper says that the
change trora the wide to the standard
gauged all the Southern railway systems
ought to favorably affect the roads north
of the Ohio which have Southern connec
tions. The change will be a unification
of the railway gauge of tbe country. It
ts expected that temporarily, at least,the
Southern seaports wiil lose business, be
cause Southern freight ean be sent North
hereafter without change or additional
handling.
liailrond CUtier.
The Daytona (Fla.) Journal says:
“Transportation over tne White railroad
has temporarily ceased. Rumor has it
that tbe gauge 13 to be changed and that
it is to bo run under Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key W est management. There has
been no official confirmation of this re
port, and it is more than likely that the
stoppage is occasioned by tbe necessity ot
repairing the old locomotive, the new lo
comotive being entirely too heavy for the
road, necessitating the purchase of an
other.”
