Vivalist in this country. There was not a
Vacant pew in the church, and the galleries
Were filled.
Mr. Small has been seriously ill forever a

(awhile it was thought that ho would not iv

SERVICES OK SONG.
Mr. Small and Prof. Maxwell were
together in the recent meetings held at
{Worcester, Lynn and Chelsea, Mass. At
Worcester in four days over fifty were
fedded to the church; at Lynn, in one week.
fliO persons iiegiyi the Christian way: and of
[Chelsea, the Boston (Join- reported that last
(Bahbath seventy-live persons joined the
s hurch there as the fruit of the week of
Jtreaehing by Mr Small.
The young revivalist looked very’ pale
■when he entered the pulpit last night, and
tiis sermon was not as forcible ns many that
/b< has preached. Prof. Maxwell sat, with
f hint and led the singing.
TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.
In outlining the purpose of his visit, here
[Mr. Small said that lie did not come as a
(sensationalist, and he does not propose to
[use any gush or sentimentalism in his work.
•He is here, he said, to preach the Gospel of
[Jesus Christ and to seek the salvation of
wools.
Rev. T. T. Christian offered a fervent
jpraver, invoking the divine I Jessing upon
fihe meetings which it is purposed to hold
land upon those who will aid in the pros ecu
ftion of the great work of bringing souls to
'Christ.
Prof, Maxwell sang with wonderful effect,
Eternity is Drawing Nigh." The evange
list took for his text, 11. Corinthians, vi., 1:
•“We then, as workers together with Him,
(beseech you also that, ye receive not the
■ißraee of God In vain," and preached a plain,
practical sermon.
TO SAVE SOIIIA.
pod. he said, has committed to you nnd

and let us see to it that we <i!o our duty.
The field of work which he proposes to enter
lis right here in Savannah. On his way from
(Atlanta yesterday morning Mr.
iHmall read the Mo uni kg News’
(report of the great anti-coercion
(demonstration at the Theatre on Tuesday
might. The eloquent words of the gifted
jtp"t leman who spoke at that meeting, ho
eaid, sent a thrill through his bivly as he
■saw pictured before him the sufferings of
It lie Irish people under English misrule and
•oppression.
COERCION IN SAVANNAH.
“But,” he added,“there are oodreive meas
f ures. and rack rent*,and eviction , and suffer
j ings in Savannah just as terribln as those iu
J reland, and I would rather nut for under the
tyranny and oppression of the meanest
landlord in Ireland than to be under the
irlomination of a single one of the 800
rumsellers of Savannah. Hulk about
j ack rents and evictions in Ireland; why the
Rendition of the people there is almost para
klisiacal compared with that of hundreds,
pnd 1 might say thousands, in .Savannah.
[Don’t cable all your sympathy
Jaway,” he said. ‘ : lt Gists *1
la word to send a cablegram to Ireland It,
leasts nothing to speak words of sympathy to
jjieoplc who need them at, home.
“If I had the jiencil and the pnwer of a
IHognrth," he continued, "1 would drawn
"“picture of suffering in the lanes and alleys
fend hack yards of Savannah tl*it would
■aval anything that could lie irnpo' toil from
(Ireland.
ONE THING THAT SAVANNAH fiSEDS.
“If there is any one thing that 11 ivannah
Heeds more than anything else it is religion. ’’
The revivalist referred to the work of the
tfrialvation Army. “There have been few
'things that I have heard since I was con
verted,” he said, “that have made me hap
ipier than when I heard tliat
tthe Kalvatioij Army had ((Hacked
'Atlunta. I was glad when it, rf,tacked
[Cavannnh, but I felt outraged when I
gtearrl how Savannah had attacked it. God
■lt nows that when a "country will pernilt such
ui outrage iu its midst it is in need of re
ligion.”
He then asked all those in the oingre
cat.eui who were willing to go to worn and
feid in bringing souls to Christ to stand up.
SNearly the entire congregation arose.
“Thank God !” the preacher exclainitd.
KNEELING ABOUT THE AI.TAR.
He then asked those who were willing to
devote their time to the work to knt*ol About
the altar and in the pews while the pastor
prayed. The altar aud the space in front of
the pulpit were crowded with kneeling men
and women. It was an impressive ta|;ht.
The pastor prayed earnestly for the
siownpouring of the Holy Spirit, and
tiod’s blessing upon the people. "Nearer
my God to Thee” was then sung, and during
the singing Mr. Small osked all who walked

George I'. 11. Jones, a constable of the Sec

The latter is tine wife of a watchman, and
while (!•■ was away from home at nights the
coastal *]e wooed.
The constable first met his inamorata last.
January when he served some warrants in
a case in which she was the prosecutrix. Their
aequaintance rapidly ripened. and each wits
smitten witli the tender ]>assion. In the
course of three months they came to love
each other so ardently that the w ife decided
to slip the marital knot which hound her.
She owned a little property in Robertsvill-■.
nnd it i. report *d tint she quietly disposed
of that, nnd pocketed the money without her
husband's knowledge.
One rumor is that she got SfiOO for it, al
though others say that it was as much as
$l,lOO. Oil the day before be left Jones told
a friend that he was going to Texas to Imv
some rattle, and remarked that he had $->OO.
It e said that In* was seen in Jacksonville
last. week, llis aequaintance think that, he
went to Cuba, and thence probably to Texas
or Mexico. He was quite a large man
physically, and has liecn a constable aud jail
guard for a number of years.
WORK FOR THE GRAND JURY.
An Unusual Case Before it for Investi
gation.
At, the meeting of the County Commis
sioners yesterday a letter was read from Dr.
R. I*. Myers, calling attention to some unu
sual cases which had come to his notice. Dr.
Myers is the attending physician at the
Georgia infirmary. He stabs! in his letter
that some time last January nine colored
men were sent to the infirmary on one day.
The men were poorly clad, and were suf
fering from various forms of disease, ap
parently contracted from exposure aud want
of sufficient, nourishment. The physician
says that he was told by the men that they
hud l*een working on McQueen's Island,
grading the Tyliee railroad. They bail not
been .given enough to eat, they said, and they
stated that, they had not l*een able to get
away from the island. They bad no boat,
aud the contractor would not furnish them
with one to get across Wilmington river,
they said. Every one of the sick men died
in the Infirmary. The physician in charge
reported the matter to the Commissioners
for investigation, and the board referred it
to the grand jury.
The contractor for the Tyliee railroad
has lieeu summoned with other witnesses
to appear before the grand jury this after
noon. and an investigation will in* Ugun.
NOTHING BUT A BUBBLE.
The Central Railroad Not After the
Brunswick and Western.
Some of the papers throughout the State
have published a rumor stating that the
Central railroad of Georgia is about to
secure control of the Brunswick ayil West
ern. According to one report the deal is to
be consummated to-morrow.
The matter was mentioned yesterday to
Gen. Alexander and he remarked that it
was news to him, and that there is ab
solutely no warrant for the report.
The. rumor seems to have grown out of
the visit to Brunswick of Mr. John C. Cal
houn, Pat, Calhoim, Esq., directors of the
Central, and Mr. M. S. Belknap, the road's
General Manager. Prom Brunswick they
went up to Albany in a private car, and
then took a run over the Southwestern road.
Some attached significance to the visit of
the officials to Brunswick, just as the res ! -
dents of Port Royal did to Vanderb It’s
visit to their town, but the Central's Presi
dent says there is nothing in it. The report
that the Central is after the Brunswick and
Western is an old one that was widely cir
culated about three years ago, aud has got
to be sort of a “chestnut.”
HEAVY DAMAGES,
H. C. Beck Gets $13,750 Against the
Charleston and Savannah.
The suit of H. C. Beck against the
Charleston and Savannah Railway Company
for $30,000 damages was argued yesterday
by It. G. Erwin, Ksq., for the defendant, and
A. H. Cox, Esq., nnd Col. Rufus E. Lester
for the plaintiff. The defendant, claimed
that Beck was not of sound mind before the
accident when he was injured. The com
pany declared that if he had been sound in
mind he would not, have allowed his head to
strike the water tank along the track. The
jury remained out an hour, and returned a
verdict in favor of Beck for $13,750.
A motion will lie made for anew trial,
and the court will lx* asked to set, the ver
dict aside on the ground that it is exorbitant.
Beck is about 25 years old. Ho declared in
his bill that he has U*en unable to work
since the accident, which occurred in July,
18*4, at Monteith. He charged the company
with negligence in running the train too
fast.
STRIPES FOR SMITH.
A Letter Thief to go to the Penitentiary
for One Year.
Henry Smith, a negro bov, was convicted
in the United States District Court yester
day of stealing a letter that was in the cus
tody of the postal department. The letter
w;is one of several that were stolen from the
Anderson street depot, of the City
and Suburban Railway ('omiwny
about March 0. 'The particulars
of the case were published in the Mohning
Nkwh at the time. Smith got nearly #.VI
from ,the letter. The money lielonged to
the matron of the Episcopal (iiphans' Home.
Smith’s display of cash, which was lavish
for a car driver, first attracted suspicion to
him. Jmlge S|sst sentenced him to one
year in the Albany county (N. Yd peniten
tiary.

Raymond’s Savannah Ventures.
Editor Morning Newt: In your remi
niscences of “Col. Mulberry Hellers” there
are one or two errors in leganl to his origi

“St Andrew's llall, now Turner Halle,

their original venture was in tic
Savunimh Theatre, and they afterward
rented 8L Andrew’s Hall. You further

was referred to the Committee on Roads and
Bridges.
The report of Mr, K. .1. Thomas, the

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
earnings for the fourth week in March were
*100.591, an increase of $33,081 over the cor
responding week last year.
( apt. Robert, of the engineering corps of
the Macon and Athens railroad. states that
cars will be running to Monticello by May
I. and that grading will be completed to
Ma lison about the same time.
It is said that the owners of the Oconee
White Sulphur Si>rings property hove
offered to the management of the Augusta
and Chattanooga railroad #5.000 to run the
road by that resort. The offer is being con
sidered bv the railroad, and it is likely the
line will be surveyed.
It is reported that the Savannah, Florida
and Western will build a line directly from
Branford or Fort White, Fla., to Pember
in's ferry, on an air line, to connect their
two systems of roads and give a direct out
let, from Southern F)ori<la over their lines.
This route will cross the Florida Railway
and Navigation atornear Bronson, and will
open up one of the finest sections of agricul
tural, timber and orange lands in the State.
The line of the Alabama, Florida and At
lantic railroad, now being surveyed by a
corps of engineers under County Surveyor
Fries, of Orange, Fla., crosses the Sanford
and Lake Eustis road on the west end of Mr.
J. C. Young’s homestead. From there it
runs down close to the mill at Indian Spring,
and the surveyor will continue north via
Lake Joanna. It is said that the new road
will,cross over the Sanford and Lake Eustis
on a trestle work.
The Buena Vista Branch.
The Buena Vista Patriot, referring to the
Central railroad’s proposition to aid the
building of the Buena Vista branch, says in
regard to the extension of the line to Ameri
cas that the proposition means more than a
mere change of the eastern terminus ot the
road from Anderson to Americas.
“It is our opinion and the opinion of
many of our people,” the Patriot goes on to
say, “that the line will eventually run from
Columbus to Ainericus. We would be glad
to have direct communication with both of
these cities, as the rivalry and competi
tion between cotton merchants would en
hance the cotton market wonderfully and we
would be able to ]mv close margins on the
staple. As we have said before the Colum
bus (Southern will cut off a large per cent,
of the passenger and freight traffic, which
formerly passed over the Central lines, from
the west to the southern sea coast. The
Central will soon have a direct connection
between Columbus and Birmingham, and it
seems to us almost a necessity on the part of
that rood to cut through from Columbus to
Ainericus by the way of Buena Vista.”
Rome’s Railroads.
Tiie Rome Courier is informed that all
arrangements for the building of a road
from Rome to a point on the Western and
Atlantic railroad have been completed.
The new road will be only a part of the ex
tension of the Rome and Decatur from Rome
to Gainesville. This road will ktart from
Print up City and will strike the Western
and Atlantic railroad at Hall’s mill, or near
there. A corps of engineer will be put on the
line immediately,mid the work will lie rapidly
pushed forward that a connection with tiie
Western and Atlantic may tie had as soon os
the road from Atlanta to Rome will lie fin
ished.
The Rome and Decatur people are work
ing hard and earnestly in the building of
their lines as rapidly as possible. The road
from Attalla to Oanaden will lie finished in
a few days, and the grating from the latter
city towards Rome will lie commenced. Al-
I'eailv twenty miles from Rome, with the
exception of a few patches here and there,
have boon graded, and ns soon as the
bridge across the Oostunaula is finished
track-laying will be recommenced.
Sale of tbo Cuthbert Roadbed.
A Cutliliert correspondent of the Morn
ing News writes that tiie owners of the old
Columbus, Cllthliert and Hainbridge rail
ro;id l*‘d went to Albany Monday to close
the sale of the road, which is graded from
Cuthbert to Hainbridge, to the Birmingham,
Georgia mid Florida Railroad Company. It
is thought that it will commence work im
mediately, ns the company promised the
subscribers to the mad that it would com
plete it, from Cutliliert to Bainliridge bv
Feb. I, |sks. The mad, when li:ilt, will lie
of incalculable benefit to Cuthbert and the
suiTou i iding country.
The Mobile and Girard Extension.
Columbus is absorlied in new railroad
projects. It. is given out, on good authori
ty, that the extension of the Mobile and
Girard railroad to Pollard, Ala., is a settled
fact. The corps which has Ihx-ii engaged in
surveying the propisisl extension nt the
< ol mill HIS and Rome railroad has bi*m
eallisl in. and will he put to work at mice
surveying the route from Troy to pollard.
The Mobile and Girard lias found this ex
tension liece-snry in view of the projected
line from Montgomery to ChattuhiNsliec,

THE WAY IT WAS DONE.
THE HOME CLUB BEATEN SIX
STRAIGHT GAMES.
Charleston Wins the Interstnto Cham
pionship with Hands Down The Car
olinians to Open the League Season
at Nashville on Saturday Parker
Signed by the Savannah Management
Other Changes Likely to be Made
Before the Team Goes to Memphis.
The Charleston “aggregation” left last
night for Nashville where they will open the
league season on Saturday. What there is
left of Savannah will leave to-night for
Memphis. Manager Powell went away
hugging his championship record
like a child hugs anew doll. It
is something new for Charleston
to get more than even games in a series, and
six consecutive victories is too much for th*
Carolinians to stand up under. It, fairly
staggers them. Manager Powell and his
men have made a good many friends in (Sa
vannah, who want to see them do in Nash
ville just what they did hero.
It was an easy victory for them yesterday,
although the score dues not show it. Somers
pitched against “Billee" Taylor, and was
very effective. Although a little inclined to
be wild, his delivery is puzzling in the ex
treme. With another week's practice he
will b in shape to do good work.
The home team made rower errors than
in any game yet except one. Ilciliy, Somers
and Hutchinson did the batting, and Reilly
anil Somers scored it the first inning the
only runs that Savannah made. Campau.
wVki was erroneously credited with a “muff
ed fly” in Tuesday's game had very little
to do. Grady. Hines anil Powell
did the hitting for Charleston.
“Billee” Taylor has cenmi to be
a “phenomenon,” and his days of usefulness
as a pitcher are about over.
About 800 witnessed the game, and both
clubs were cheered. There was not a very
groat interest taken, as the game was too
one-sided. The following ie the scora:

Nothing further has been heard from

that he will join tfie club at Memphis on
Saturday with several new players aud that
the team will start the league race with its
weakest, points strengthened. Parker, who
caught in Tuesday’s game, has been signed
and will be a valuable acquisition to the
team. A meeting of the directors will be
held this afternoon before the club leaves
for Memphis and several other changes are
likely to lie made.
Nashville Knocked Out.
Nashville, April 13. —Nashville was
completely done up by Detroit to-day. The
score was l'.J to 2. The game was full of
errors and was uninteresting. The batteries
were: Nashville, Hayes and Mannion; De

A Cannon-Ball Catcher.
The latest thing in the catching line is C.
B. Blatt. A few days ago a score of men
climlxxl to the top of the Police Gazette
building in New York to see this wonderful
catcher catch a twenty-five pound cannon
ball fired from a cannon with halt a pound
of powder. Mr. Blatt is a man of medium
size. He has arms as large and nearly as
hard as the cannon, with green running gear,
that stood on the top of the building with its
mouth open toward Brooklyn. About two
years ago he began playing at ball with a
cannon as pitcher. He catches the ball on a
level with his face, and in one encounter
with the missile he wrecked a finger, and,
again, the bull mashed in his bearc..esscoun
tenance.
Mr. Blatt first made the spectators look
down the gun to see that it had no spring
concealed in its mouth. Then n preliminary
charge of powder was turned into it and
fin'd off, after w hich Mr. Blatt took off his
diamond anil other encumbrances, mopped
out the gun and turned the cannon ball into
the mu zzle. The ha 11 is .Vly inches round
the waist. A charge of powder was put
into the breech loading cannon, and the
spfx'tatnr* in the front of the gun dodged
behind a chimney. Mr. Harding stuffed
pic,-cs of cotton in his ears and took
his place t, the stem of the gun,
while Mi , Blatt went out thirty feet from
it and lookixl the cannon koiuuv in the
mouth. ‘ Fire:” said Blatt. Mr. Harding
pulled the string, the gun I loomed, the liafl
sailed gaily up mel outward and Blatt
caught it. There was a brief wrestle hr
tween the missile and the man. and then the
mail went down with a badly bruised linger
and the ball eseajiwd. Mr. Blatt danced
about the mom in agony awhile and then
declared Hint lie would have another bout
with the bull if it would kill him.
The eamioii was again loaded, and the
catcher, within bleeding hand, braced him
self and shouted “Fire!” The cannon roared,
not very ferocious;!v: the Iwll shot out, and
plucky Mr. Blatt caught it., and held it, too.
Then the sjss'tjitors applauded, and Mr.
Blatt,’n feat, like the rich young favorite nt
htisliand hunters, was declared the greatest
catch of the season.

THE GREAT IOWA GEYSER.
Unsuccessful Efforts to Control Iv—
How It Breathes.
From the Belle Plaine (la.) Union..
We have hoped from week to
week to be able to announce the
successful stoppage or control of
our great well, but week after week has
passed with tio further promise of success,
and while we have contemplated giving a
full history of this wonderful well and the
attempt to control it, the demand for par
ticulars of its present condition impels us to
give some facts even though the complete
sketch be left for a future time.
The first attempts to control the well
were, first, the insertion of a 18-inch pipe
made of one-quarter inch baler iron.
Seventy-seven feet of this was inserted, and
went out of sight. Next, an iniinpnse cone,
made of boiler iron. 'l4 feet long and 40 i n<-lies
across at its base, with 9:5 feet of .V inch iron
pipe attached, was let down. This, too,
dropped down out of sight. The situation
when Mr. Ivink, the present contractor,
took charge was:
The water was boiling up nt the airfare,
w hile the iron pipe and cone were both down
the well —somewhere. It was believed that
these could be felt by soundings, but it is
evident by present surroundings that they
have been gradually settling down into the
sand stratum from which the water comes.
Mr. King put in a pipe Hi inches in diame
ter. It is made of 3-10th iron. He succeed
od in getting lti:* feet and five indies of this
pipe in the hole before he met wit :i an ob
struction which impeded its progress. This
leaves a space of 550 feet and seven inches
from tlie bottom of his casing to the bottom
of the original hole through the clay or the i
upper side of the water stratum. The pre- I
sumption is the obstruction met by his cas
ing was the top of the pipe or cone origi
nally put down. His next work was to throw
rock around the outside of the casing with a
view of shutting off the flow outside and
driving it into the casing. It is impossible to
sav just how many feet he has
tilled around the casing with rock,
hut wo are able to account for
over 75 feet of stone tilling, lies ides an
immense quantity of sand, clay,broken brick,
etc. During all this time the flow through
the casing was spasmodic. Some days it
would flow and others not. Of the effort to
secure * ‘dead water" by the erect i< >n of a da m
or tank it is not necessary to speak now.
After several ineffectual attempts to accom
plish this a sounding of the inside of the cas
ing was made, aud it was found that it was
choked up with sand fully eleven feet from
tlie bottom. This was pumped out. and im
mediately the water of came rushing out of
tlie casing, throwing out sand. There was
no little rejoicing over this, and it was lie
lieved to lie the beginning of the end. But
the rejoicing was short-lived. After a couple
of hours the pipe and the rock filling
surrounding it took a drop, showing that the
sand had washed out from below. An at
tempt to raise the pipe was unsuccessful, and
it became necessary to lower the ditch which
carried the water off to correspond with
the mouth of the pipe. After this was done
more rock and clay was thrown in. The
water meanwhile was not coming out from
around the easing. So far there has been no
headway made in filling around the casing.
It settles down as fast as thrown in. One
day, after working all (lav hard, there was
a foot less filling around the pipe than when
work began in the morning, and now of the
seventy-five or more feet of filling he has
put in there is less then twenty feet of it
around the easing, so that the outlook for
tilling up around the casing does not look
very encouraging. The water is now l ush
ing out of the easing with great force and
is vomiting out sand and gravel. It is this
movement of sand that causes the settli g of
the rock and other filling. It is unfortunate,
too, that in consequence of this new move
ment of sand and water the wells up-town
have been tapped and ceased to flow
The unknown quantity in tlie solving of
the problem of controlling this well is the
depth of the sand stratum from which the
water comes. It inav be twenty-five feet
and it may lie 250 or 2,500. It now seems as
if the botton of this (presumably solid rock)
must be found before a foundation can be
secured. It is evident that the liig pipe and
the cone have botli gone into this stratum.
The presumption is that a vacuum has been
created there immediately underneath the
hole, and the motion of tlie water keeps the
sand loose and in constant motion, so that
any weight will gradually settle down into
it. The pipe put in by Mr. Ki ug is held up
by chains fastened to cross ties on top of
the ground. If it were not for this it
would probably settle like its predecessors.
A peculiar fact regarding this well is its
seeming breathing, which is as regular as a
clock, and at a rate of forty to fifty pulsa
tions per minute. This has been noticeable,
ever since the first break, and is more so*
now since the water comes direct through
the casing.
We regret wo are not able to announce the
attempt to control the well a success. It
would give us great pleasure to do so, but
we give the facts as they are, hot as we
should like them to tie.

SURPRISES FOR THE BRIDE.
Her Husband Takes Her to Germany to
Meet His First Wife.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
On the arrival of the night express from
Cleveland at the Union depot last night at
15 o'clock a party of Germans, every thing
about them indicating their nationality, got
out of the ears. One was a rather elderly
man. and he was aecomjianieil by his wife
and several small children. The party was
completed by a good-looking man of about
forty-five, to whose arm clung very confid
ingly a remarkably pretty young woman not
much over twenty. There was nothing un
usual or peculiar about any of them.
After they had proceeded on their journey
on board the Eastern express a reporter
learned that there were some extraordinary
circumstances attached to them. The con
ductor of tlie train in which they came from
Cleveland told the story. Ho said:
“I got into conversation with the elderly
man m the party after we left Cleveland.
He told me they were al! from Sandusky
and bound for (Germany. The pretty young
woman had attracted every body’s attention.
1 asked lam who she was and he replied that
she was the bride of tlie man who sat beside
her. He had come out from Germany a
year ago, leaving a wife and family behind
him. Notwithstanding this lie had paid his
addresses to the young woman as a single
man and finally married her. To make
things even mere extravagant, the bigamist
was taking the young girl he had pretended
to make his bride to his native place, where
his other wife and children awaited him.
The elderly man told me all this quite cooll y.
He didn’t seem to think it was a crime he
was an accomplice to. He had known the
guilty man in Germany, and that seemed to
ease his conscience. I could do nothing, of
course. All the parties seemed respectable
people, and tlie one who talked to me told
me that he was going back for a time to
Germany because the lime-water of San
dusky had not agreed with his family. He
said they had secured berths on tlie steam
ship Fulda.”
It, was discovered from another source
that the name of the man alleged to be a
bigamist is Wilhelm Maegerstein. while
Ins bride's maiden name is probably Katrina
Velose. The other family is named King,
and one of their trunks bore a railroad tab
with the word “Coblenz” upon it, from
which it is supposed that that town is their
destination.
