A. BOYCOTT FOB AUGUSTA.
KNIGHTS THI. 1 v 11. X THE MILLS
WITH RETALIATION.
Fo.slbilitle. that the Mill* Will Meet
the Fight by Refusing Employment to
Member* of Towderly - * Order—A
SiiooMng Afiray near Beaufort 'Which
May Kud iu Death.
Augusta, Ga., July 26.—There is a
ripple of excitement as to the mill trouble
to-day. The Executive Committee of the
Knights of Labor have issued a decree,
which in all probability will be ratified by
the higher authority and put into effect,
boycotting the goods manutactureu by t bo
mills ot Augusta, Ga. Tnis boycott has
no local significance, but will have some
effect at large. Knights of Labor retus
msj to purchase ami publicly condemning
the productions of the seven or eight
mills of modest little Augusta iu every
part of the United States will not have a
good effect, to say the least of it. It is
presumed that this action is prompted by
the combination of the mil! presidents
here, it being believed by the Knights
that the moral it not the actual support,
of the other mills is given to the Augusta
Factory, thereby making 1' more impos
sible to bring that factory to terms. The
great fear here is that the mill presidents
may retaliate and order that no Knights
of Labor shall be employed in their re
spective mills. This would bring about
the clash. Those who are r.ot Knights In
tne mills are the exception. > non Id the
presidents refuse to give work to Knights
the greatest trouble aud suffering would
ensue.
SUHE TO BE ORDERED.
Augusta, Ga., .tuly 27, 1 a. m.-A
prominent member of the Knights of
Labor Executive Committee says at
midnight that no boycott has yet been
issued, hut will surely bo ordered to
morrow or next day.

PROHIBITION'S EFFECTS.
Dalton Votes for Public Schools ami
the City on u Room.
Dalton, Ga., July 26.—8 y an almost
unanimous vote the city of Dalton Satur
day voted a system ot public schools. Un
der tne influences of prohibition the in
crease of taxable property tins year is
$306,000. Since it lias become known that
the citizens had voted public schools, va
cant property is changing hands
and the saw and hammer will
soon be heard throughout
the city. A good system of water works
are now strongly advocated, and assur
ances have been made that t'uev will he
put in operation at an early day. Then
follows tue telephone, and we can almost
hear the tinkle of the street car hells.
Dallou's future is indeed much brighter
now than at any period since th'* war.
Crop prospects generally are much bet
ter. Since tlm heavy rains ceased crops
have been worked out and look well, ex
cept on lowlands. Corn on uplands is
fine.
A Sad Accident.
Marianna, Fla.. July 26.—The saddest
and most heartrending accident that has
happened in this section tor some time
occurred Saturday, while Bialik Philips,
Jr., Jamie Gamble, Mike ( alhoun, Willie
Philips ami Walter Lurion were out on
a hunt. They camped about eight miles
from town, and on preparing to start out
Walter Lurton caught irild ot the muzzle
ot his gun to draw it to him, and by some
means tbo hummer was sprung, and the
load was discharged into Waller's knees.
One knee is shin tried, and Ins leg will
probably have to he amputated. The
other one is badly hurt. Walter is a son
of J. W. Lurton. the General Manager of
the Pensacola and Atlantic division of
the Louisville and Nanuville railroad at
Chattahoochee, and ban just returned
from college at Auburn, Aia.
MuJ. West Ih'slgns,
Augusta. Ga., July 26.—Maj. J. A. A.
West, who ao recently figured prominent
ly in tbo railroad, Hiohtuond academy
and gus sensations in Augusta, comes bo
lora the public again to-night by tender
ing his resignation as Principal of Rich
mond Academy, his elevation to which
position caused such dissatisfaction a
couple of weeks ago. It in said that
henceforth he wilt give his entire atten
tion to his gas and railroad interests.
Incendiarism at Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., July 26.—Fire to-night
damaged an unoccumed store on the cor
ner of Greene aud Wilde streets to the
amount of $2OO. It was of incendiary
origin and occurred at exactly mo s.,me
hour as did the Christian church lire last
night. The Incendiary seems to be walk
ing abroad in Augusta.
Mr. Robertson, the voting telegraph
operator at Muscogee, Fia,, died at that
ulace Thursday.
TRADE PROSPECTS.
The Outlook Not as Favorable b*
Tliree Years as at Present.
Philadelphia, July 26. —The indus
trial and commercial outlook has not been
as favorable for three years as it is this
week. Tiie encouraging features are
briefly these: Tne iron trade is in a healthy
condition; demand is equal to supply: in
some oases in excess. The rail makers
have increased their allotment to 1,466,000
tons for the year, and report that demand
mil he tar iu excess of this supply.
Nearly all the railroad companies
tnroughout the country are extending
their lines, making repairs, putting in
side tracks, ami otb-rw ise extending their
mileage. This wonderful activity is ex
eiting an excellent effect upon the out
side industries. The wrought iron pipe
and tube makers will shortly advance
prices again. Bar iron is firm; sbeetand
plate are active. Tne 120,660t0ns weekly
production ot pig iron is all taken up at
■strong prices.
THE CROP REPORTS.
The very latest crop reports from the
Northwest are all ol an encouraging char
acter, in and to all appearances the export
demand will be quite heavy, sufficiently
to maintain high home prices. The cotton
crop w ill he exceptionally large and com
mand better prices than last year. I tie
home consumption of cotton is Increasing
and the demand for all kinds ot cotton
goods is very heavy at this time in all
Eastern textile markets. The mills are
well supplied with orders not only for cot
ton goods, out also for woolens, worsteds
and silks. Besides this, the carpet manu
facture! s arc overcrowded vvitn orders,
and all of their recently increased capac
ity is now busy, and new mills are ufider
way.
The last few days has developed consld
eralile interest in the lumber trade. The
receipts have been light in the Northwest,
but from the South the supply continues
heavy, and yardmen, contractors and
dealers are ordering quite Ireely against
the possibility of higher prices. Large
sales of white pine have been made for
August and September delivery. Idem
lock is $lO 50; vellow pine $7 to $22.
WOOL ADVANCING.
Wool has advanced from one to two
cents per pound within ten days, and the
weekly saies in the three great wool mar
kets font up 5,600.060 pounds. Telegraphic
advices within 48 hours indicate an in
creasing demand from manufacturers,
who begin to apprehend a scarcity.
Large orders have been given out within
ten days lor rolling stock of all kinds aud
locomotive builders are now negotiating
lor large orders tor engines to be com
pleted during the coming lour months.
THE COAI OUTPUT.
The anthracite coal production for Au
gust will he nominally 2,600,000 tons, hut
reallv more. Brices are declining, and
the combination is feeling the effects of
Internal dissensions. It is probable, how
ever, that demand will prevent a break.
Bituminous production is heavier than
since tne opening of the year, ar.d all
mines are busy east of the mountains.
Considerable idleness prevails in mines
in tho Western States.
Builders in the New England and Mid
dle States are crowded with work, and
from a careful summary of permits taken
out in all the larger cities, it Is evident
that, with one or two exceptions, build
ing activity is greater thau at any time
in our history.
COUNSELLOR'S TWO FAMILIES.
The Newark M an Who Led a Double
Existence.
New York, July 24.—At Newark this
morning the acknowledged wile and chil
dren ol Jeremiah Counsellor became ac
quainted with the other family which lie
maintained in Brooklyn, ami ol whose
ex'stence they bad been uuawuro until ii
had been disclosed by Mr. Counsellor’s
sudden death. The reception ot the Dou
ningtons, the Brooklyn lamiiy, was peace
ful but not cordial. The mother and
daughter, who came Accompanied by two
friends ol both families, were allowed to sit
at the head of the stairs while the funeral
exercises were going on in the room.
They were dressed in deep mourn'iur
and manifested sincere griet at the lossol
one who was, they still claim, nothing
more than an old and sincere triend.
< ouusellor visited the Donmngtons every
day and frequently stayed there several
days at a time, telling his Newark family
i hat he was at Ocean Grove for his health.
He purchased supplies for their house and
was known to the tradesmen as Mr. Dui
nliurton. They lived in elegant style, and
are not known to have had any means but
those furnished by him. His harsh treat
ment ot his Newark family had occa
sioned and led, It is said, to his being ex
peiled from a church there. It cannot be
asce tamed how much of an estate Coun
sellor left, but a will is said to have been
discovered in favor of the Donningtohs.
The Newark family are prepared to
tight it.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JULY 27. 1886.
A GREAT LOG BOAT.
A New I’lan to Get Lumber from
Canada to Michigan.
Detroit, July 23.—The departure of
tho great log boat Michigan, which left
Alpena in tow of a powerful tug bound
for French river, Georgian Bay, for a load
of logs for Tawas parties, yesterday, was
witnessed by a large crowd, so much in
terest has been taken in the experiment,
on which large interests depend. Hie
Michigan lumber forests are rapidly dis
appenring. M l l lions oi dollars are invested
in ihe most elaborate atjd cosily mill plants
These must either soon be abandoned,
must i.e removed at great expense, or logs
must in some way he brought to them
from increasingly long distances. For
tour nr five years past the tiansportation
oi logs by railroad by special trains con
structed for the purpose has been a grow
ing traffic, until now it has assumed large
proportions, anil 50 and 100 miles are not
uncommon distances to be covered by
these traius. But even this resort will
have to he abandoned for want ot timber.
Within the past two years Michigan lum
bermen have turned their attention to
Canada, and extensive purchases of pine
lands have been made near the shores of
Eako Huron and along the large streams
‘emptying into that inland sea. To move
their mills to that side of the lake for the
purpose of cutting up tho pine in
volves great expense. Then, too, they
must encounter the tariff' on imported
lumber on seeking an American market.
To somehow get the logs to this side
would solve the difficulty, as there is no
tariff on these. Transportation by rafts
has been attempted in a lew instances,
hut the risks are very great, as Eake
Huron is a decidedly stormy body of
water, and the breaking up and scatter
ing of a single raft would sadly trench
vision the profits oi a season’s business.
Hence the experiment oi the log boat,
which is intended to hear the same rela
tion to water transportation that the log
train does to the railroad. If it can be
managed successfully ami not too expen
sively. it promises to solve a very impor
tant problem in connection with the lum
ber business of Michigan for the next 20
years.
This pioneer boat, named after the
State, is 204 feet over all, 42 feet beam,
with 16 feet depth of hold, and has a ton
nage of 1,227. she has one boiler 15 feet
10ng,7 Vj leet in diameter, and two engines.
One engine has a 16 by 12 inch cylinder.
The other engine has two cylinders. 14 by
12 inches each, and is connected with two
IS-inoh pumps, and also with an apparatus
for hoisting anchors, of which she car
ries two, one weighing l.GOOauil the other
3,000 pounds. Tae chain of the large
anchor weighs 20 pounds to the link and
is made of 1%-iiich wire. Tho apparatus
for hoisting logs on board
Is a slip that extends on an incline to the
water, in which an endless chain runs,
and on which are hooks which carry the
logs up the slip, which is jointed at the
rail and extends across the deck. Here
men with cant hooks will receive and roil
the logs off on to tho skids, where they
are held until wanted in the hold, they
being there dropped iulo five leet ol water.
The water conies into the hold through a
10-inch aperture iu three hours, aud the
two IS-ineh pumps empty the bold again
in four hours. There are two of the slips.
The logs are hoisted out of the hold at the
after hatches (ol which there are seven)
liy two upright slides with arms, upon
which the loz rests. When the log gets on
deck it rolls on to a wet of rollers that
carry it overboard. It is claimed that the
craft can be loaded in less than twenty
hourß. Sho has a full set oi canvas on
four spars, ten men lor a crew, aud will
carry about 700,000 lent of logs. The
question ot expense would seem to be the
only one to be settled by experiment. It
is probable that no special interferi nee
would be encountered from boisterous
weather, and there seems no reason to
doubt that as in the ore aud grain carry
ing trade from three to six of these im
mense barges could be loaded and towed
across Lake Huron by a single powertul
tug.
A MESSAGE FROM 1740.
I merest! ng ltd ins of Slave-Trader
Cavassiere, of Buriinjgton.
Philadelphia, July 22.—A party of
boatmea on Thursday, while rowing in
the Delaware river at the government
Jetty in course of construction at Fisner’s
Point, picked up alloat a small oaken
chest which had been dug up by the steam
dredges. It was made of two-inch oak,
heavily bound with iron bands. Upon
the lids were the words: “Cavassiere.
Burlington.” It was 16 by 20 inches and
16 inches deep.
The contents were lound to be of great
historical interest, lhey comprised a
quantity of manuscript in French,
thoroughly water-soaked and nearly re
duced to pulp, yet capable of being trans
lated. Among other things were the min
iature of a beautitul woman, evidently a
creole; verses of song, with music ar
ranged for the guitar: a lock of blonde
hair, and, most singular ot all, tho fore
finger of the left hand ot a woman which
had been out off' at tho third joint, em
balmed and wearing a plain gold ring in
scribed with the word “Wife.” One of
the papers reads as follows;
Dink's Ferry, lice. 24, K4t.—Received of

[ owned a tine plantation on the Pennsyl
vania side of the Delaware, near Dunk’s
Kerry, where he kept slaves. In 1771 he
set out lor New Urleuos, leaving his
affairs in the bands ot M. Benoist, his
agent, and died of yellow fever on tne
trip. The contents of the box are ex

“Did yon see the nows this morning in

TAIN TER’S GRAPHOPHONK.
A Machine That Retains Speech and
Repeats It a henever At anted.
From th* Next Yrk 77 $/*•
Washington, July 21.—Brof. Tainter,
at tDG Bell laboratory, to-day gave a pri
vate exhibition of his curious invention,
ttiegraphophone. The machine is an im
provement on the Edison phonograph. It
is of the simplest construction, consisting,
apparently, of a small brass cylinder and
a couple of rubber-bound wheels connect
ing with another smaller brass shaft and
operated by a small balance wheel, w ith
a thumb crank. On the larger cylinder
or shaft is placed a close-fitting
tube, covered with wax and parat
fine. On the lower shaft, which
is about four inchesdistant from and par
allel with tne other, is cut a line screw
thread. On this rests a gutta-percha
tube, the lower end fastened to a socket
piece, wtiicb tits to the threads, the upper
end resting lightly ou the wax cylinder.
Close inspection shows that the upper
end of this gutta-percha tube has a small
lancet-like Knife, and this connects by
line silk thread with a vibrating dia
phram. To this diaphragm, which cor
responds to the drum ol the ear, is at
tached a speaking-tube about a foot long,
in the Haring end of which the operator
talks.
As he speaks he turns the wheel, the
wax cylinder revolves and the threaded
shaft carries the gutta-perena lever along,
the lancet cutting a line thread. The
depth of the cutting is regulated by the
force of the sound waves on the diaphragm
through the thread connection. As soon
as the operator has concluded speaking
the tube or receiver is removed and a
sounding tube substituted. The lancet
tube is set back at the beginning, the
wheel turned and the knife running
through the same lines of the wax gives
hack the same sounds.
The protessor read from a newspaper in
a natural tone of voice, and ihe same tone
was repeated loud enough to be heard by
everyone in the room. He then talked in
a rich Irish brogue, with the rising and
tailing inflection, and the instrument re
peated it as many limes as it was ground
over. Then Mr. Maguire, Brof. Bell’s pri
vate secretary, sang “Annie Laurie” to it,
the sweet strains being given off after
wards at the will of the operator. The
voice of the singer and every peculiar in
tonation would have been recognized by
those wiio had ever heard him sing. It is
proposed to run the machine by automatic
motions, tnough in this experiment it was
turned by hand, occasionally last and
slow, and worked admirably.
The utility of the graphophoce Is its
use as an amanuensis, doing away with
a stenographic expert. The receiver may
be a mere copyist. He or she sits in front
of tne instrument and writes out trom it
as fast or slow as the occasion and rapidi
ty of the writer may require. The wax
thread cut on the cylinder is a matrix,
from which the sound can be taken at
any time. The cylinder has a basis ot
paper and can be mailed and the talk re
produced anywhere from a similar ma
chine. Newspaper dispatches may be
dictated and taken from it by the tele
graph operator without going through a
stenographer and written out. The ma
chine is about as big as the early hand
sewing machines that were fastened to a
table.
