Rev. J. P. Wardian’, of the New Houston
Street church, ivn . present and sat with the
paste.* within the altar rail. Dr. Hinton

Prof. Maxwell’s singing lias lieen one of
the interesting lea litres of the meetings
since they began. He is one of the most
successful revival singers that has ever
visited Savannah.
Mr. Small's sermon last night was an ap
peal to the unconverted not to delay the
seeking of their souls' salvation. It was
one of the most forcible that ho has de
livered. At the close ho asked lhat all
those who desired to live a Christian life
and were willing to take the step and reso
lutely determine to put away all evil
would come forward to the altar and take

THE WAY THEY DO IN TEXAS.
A Western Boarding-House Crook
Runs a Brief Career in Savannah.
On Saturday a rather portly stranger
secured board at Mrs. A. K. Wilson’s house,
No. ’• Broughton street. He gave his name
as Samuel Taylor and his hailing port as
Dallas, Tex His hours were rather irreg
ular, but that was not thought strange, as
he represented himself to be a night opera
tor in the employ of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, a position which, like
that of newspaper fraternity, entitles a
iieiunn ♦<> be a little indifferent to what
hours li.. devotes to the usual requirements
of life - sleeping and eating.
Igist uight< Mr*. Wilson was not well and
her daughter was doing the honors of the
house. The pseudo Texan stated to Miss
Wilson that li> expected to he out late, and
requested that she put up a lunch for his
midnight repast. The young lady wrapped
up a goodly quantity of edibles, and Taylor
thanked tier and with a suavity worthy of
a Chesterfield bid her and his fellow
lioarliers good-night and departed.
On going up stairs, Mr. Wilson learned
from his wife t hat an overcoat belonging to
Mr. J. V. Denton, another boarder, had
disappeared. She at oneo suspected the
portly Taylor ns being the appropriator.
sir. Wilson immediately started out to
investigate the matter. I’alliug at
the telegraph office lie learned
that, there was no such man as
Tavlor on the rolls. From there Mr.
Wilson went to Mr. Muhllierg's pawn shop,
and there he found the missing overcoat.
Mr. Muhiherg slated that. it. had been
pawned by a party who gave hi* name as
G. B. Taylor. While talking over the
matter the thief made his appearance with
another overcoat. He was at once arrested,
und the services of a policeman was called
into requisition. Taylor offered to pay for
the overcoat, but all his worldly possessions
consisted of wore a partly-emptied whisky
flask. H' was taken to the ha tracks and
looked up for a hearing. His last request
as the key was turned on him was that the
owner of the overcoat be sent for, so that
he could settle the ca.-e. Mayor Lester will
doubtless settle it this morning hy sending
Taylor up to a higher court, where his
chances tor tiic penitentiary w ill bo first
class.

tiiu-iastically und afforded till tho assistance
possible.
Baths in Sleeping Caro.
The idea of a liatli in ,i sleeping ear which
was first put into public use by the Cana
dian Pacific com;iny is likely to become
not infrequent on very long lines. The
Wagner and Pullman sleeping ear compa
nies have each built a train of ears which
contains the luxury of a bath room supple
merited moreover by a harlter shop, as well
as a buffet, smoking compartment, large
dining room and even a library to include
the latest novels, together with various pe
riodical- and daily newspapers.
”A Mile in Three Minutes.”
The marvelous growth of the railroad in
forests of the country in such n short time
is illustrated by the fact, that old meu are
still living in Baltimore who took the first
ride with Peter Cooper in the first steam lo
comotive in America. The locomotive was
simply an old stationary engine, about the
size of a barrel, mounted on a truck, and
connected with Ihe wheels l>y a crank. It
pulled an old fashioned coach, loaded with
forty-two passengers, thirteen mile* in fifty
seven minutes. On the return trip it raced
with two fast horses. The contest was nip
and tuck, when the baud slipjied off tliefly
vvheel. Peter Cooper, the engineer, in at
tempting to replace it lacerated his hand.
The horses won the race. The first engine
of really serviceable qualities was manu
factured at York, Pa., by Phineas Davis.
It made a mile in three minutes, drawing
forty person*, and it. took the prize offered
by the Baltimore and Ohio road.
Alabama’s Board of Engineers.
The Governor of Alabama has made the
appointments for the Board of Locomotive
Engineers, created under act of the Legisla
ture. The law requires the examination of
all locomotive engineers as to their capa
city and fitness. The lioard, the law says,
must be composed of experienced engineers,
who hav practical knowledge of the work
on w hich they are to pass. The following
were appointed: J. M. Carr, of Mont
gomery : Samuel H. Nance,of Birmingham:
Frank' M. Doouer. of Selma; T. A. Morris.
ofEufaula: P. J. Caldwell, of Mobile. All
of the board are working engineers except
Mr. Carr, of Montgomery, who, however,
served many years on an engine and is
thoroughly skilled in all the different de
tails of the work. Many applications were
filed with th* Governor, and he gave the
matter deep and earnest consideration and
made h s selection of those whose papers
seem to be the most satisfactory in all par
ticulars.
COLORED AMATEURS PLAN’.
The “Acme” Club Gives an Exhibition
at the Theatre.
The Acme Colored Amateur Company
gave a “grand exhibition" at the Theatre
last night, and moreover it gave what a
good many professional companies do not—
the full worth of the admission, fhe house
was not crowded—not by a great deal. A
part of the audience was composed of mem
bers of a rival organization, who lost no
opiioi'tuiiity t> guy ihe performers.
The programme was divided in five parts.
The first was a farce bearing the peculiar
title, “The Dutchman's Ghost, or All Right."
E. H. Leonard did the star part, and ex
cepting him the characters were not oil
verv intimate terms with their lines
The meritorious parts of the performance
were soinu dancing hv C. W. Alston in a
salmon-colored dross coat und lemon candy
trousers, dam ing by George Kempt and se
lections on the hamionieon by James
Debro, all of which were good. A volun
teer “ I wire!done" soloist, whose name w as not
down on the programme, brought down the
house by a brave but unsuecessftil struggle
to rapture a note which was high up among
the “flic..." The singer missed it. and his
voice fell to the stage with a “dull thud."
The entertainment concluded with an
original sentimental tragedy, entitled “The
Vhs“nt Lover." One of the features of it
was a t hrilling duel in which the rival, ,T. F.
Andrews, was stablved. His fall would have
done credit to "Fedora.”
Events in Charleston.
There were :H deaths in Charleston last
week—Ul of white people and ?£J ol' colored

WON BY HEAVY HITTING.
SAVANNAH DEFEATS THE MEM
PHIANS 0 TO 8.
Campau Scores Two Home Runs and
Reilly One Betting Men Make a Big
Haul-Heavy Odds Offered on Savan
nah and Taken Kow the Game Was
Played—Manager Morton’s New Bat
tery.
Yesterday was Savannah’s day to win at
Memphis. Cam pa u's two home runs and
Reilly’s one were a 1-1 tie too much for Jack
Sneed's “aggregation'’ to stand up under.
There was considerable money on the game
and the most of it was staked on Memphis’
winning. The betting element thought that
it had a sure thing and o'Ms all the way
from three to ten w ere offered on Savannah.
Quite a crowd was at the Theatre, ex
pecting that th<’ game would la;
reported in detail, but the storm interfered
so seriously with the working of the
wires that it was impos-iblo to get anything
like a satisfactory leport, and tho Theatre
was not opened.
The score was bulletined at G o'clock,
li, took some tint” for the Mempluans'
backers to make up their minds that it was
all right and that the score was not 9 to 8
in favor of Memphis instead of Savannah.
Considerable money changed hands, and a
good deal of it went into the pockets of bel
ting men who were foolish enough to offer
anything like the -Kids that many did.
Memphis, Tjenv, April 18.—The second
league game between Nj-mphis and Savan
nah was played this afternoon. Not more
than GOO people v i e present owing to the
inclemency of the weather. The ground
was very slippery b'it both teams played
an excellent game. Campau made two
home runs und Reilly one for the visitors,
and Andrews knocked (he bail over the
right field fence for Memphis. Those who
witnessed the game enjoyed it exceedingly,
as it was hotly contested throughout, both
teams being on their mettle aud play
ing for all they were worth.
Somers and Dallas. the battery,
for Savannah, did ' cry tine work and' made
an impression here. Jones was to have
pitched for the visitor*, hut his arm being
sore Somers was put in the box. The bat
tery for to-morrow will be Gorman and
Crotty for Memphis, und McArthur and
Parker for Savannah. A telegram waste
reived to-uight from Manager Morton

was lined •’fob and was indefinitely' suspended
to-day for inciting trouble in the club.
There has developed a great deal of factional
spirit, and tho team has consequently failed
to play well together. The management,
has liegun on Hayes as the leader, mid will
stop insuhordnation by promptly tiring every
man who shows any such spirit. This has
lieen one of the most troublesome things
with which the directors have had to deal
during the two seasons post. Each year
there has lieen n clique in the ranks w hich
has disorganized the whole team and lost
many a game when it should have Uvn
won. This feeling has resulted disastrously
in the past, and it will 1m- the same old
story this year unless the directors pip the
evil'in the bud. This they declare their in
tention of doing.
Around the Bases.
The Nashville papers charge Nashville's
defeat on Saturday by' Charleston to an
error in the lielil, caused by a lack of proper
coaching.
Advice to Mothers.

SINGULAR WEDDING NOTICES.
Marriage Announce m ?r.ts Made in
England a Century Ago.
From the New York Telegram.
A curious feature of the marriage announce
ments of the last century was the details
they embraced resfectiug the dowry and
personal charms of the bride. Our fore
fathers do iiotapj *ar to lave been hack wind
at making known lit • fortunes they had ob
tained with their >vire. Matters that we
should regard os belonging to ourselves, or
at the most to iur intimate friends, were
given to the would with trumpet-like sound.
One can hardy pick up :r magazine or
newspaper of the period without finding
wadding notices similar to the following,
which is drawn from the Gentleman's Mag
azine of 178):
“Married.’he Rev. Mr. Rogner Walna,
of York, air lit 2t> years of age. to a Liu
coliLshire Ire y, upward of '-0, with whom he
is to have 18,UK) in money. £2OO jjer un
num, and a coach and four during life
only.* 1 I’r.’.v long this unequal pair enjoyed
matrimonial bliss I am not in a position to
state. ire certainly got a good fortune
with his da ne, but one is disposed to think
that a unio iat the price i- not to be on
vied when o many lovely women arc pre
pared to give heart and hand t>> worthy
men nrd add poetry to the prose of life.
In the same periodical of March, 1 735, we
read:
"John Tarry, Esq., of Carnmrtherasbire,
maniol to a daugnter of Walter Lloyd,
Esq., member of that county; a fortune of
£8,(00 "
Another announcement of the same
moot i and vear in the same magazine savs;
"T i • Earl of Antrim, of Ireland, to Miss
Rett y Pennefeather, a celebrated beauty and
twist of that kingdom.”
It may tie inferred, as a fortune is not
mentioned, the noble Earl preferred I’eauty
to money, and the < harms of Miss Penne
featber made amends for the lack of gold.
The Leeds Intelligencer for July*!!, 11(14,
stated:
“Thursday last was married Mr. John
Wormaid of this town, merchant, to Miss
Rebecca Thompson, daughter of the late
Thompson. Esq., of StamciifTe Hall,
near Batley, an agreeable young lady with a
fortuue ot upwards of £4,000.”
In the same journal of Sept . 4 following
appears an announcement, a* under:
“Yesterday morning was married the
Rev. Mr. Wilson. Vicar of Otley, to Miss
Nancy Furness of the same place, a most
agreeable young lady, endowed with at! the
qualifications necessary to make the - mar
riage state happy.”
Respecting wedding dowries, it, is said that
about the year 1170 a tradesman was resid
ing in Londou who had disposed of eleven
daughters in marriage, and as a fortune for
each he had given their weight in halt
lienee. it is suggested that they were
rather bulky, as the lightest of them
weighed £SO 10s Bd.
Tow ard the close of the century the an
nouncements of marriages were somewhat
toned down, as the following, culled from
the newspapers, shows. One dated Jan. 5,
1780, dates: •
“Sunday se'nnight, at St. Aulkntan's
Church, Shrewsbury. A Holbecks. Esq., of
Slowley Hill, nearColesliill. in this county,
to Mrs. Ashby, of Shrewsbury, a very
agreeable lady with a good fortune.”
In this paper dated lor Jan. 2, 1792, we
read:
“Yesterday, at St. Martin's Church, Wil
liam Lucas, Esq., of Holywell, in North
amptonshire. to Miss Legge, only daughter
of the late Mr. Francis Legge, builder, of
this town: an agreeable young lady, with a
handsome fortune.”
On Oct. 1708, we find an account of
the marriage of “an agreeable lady with a
gent*■el fortune.” And in April, 178.‘5. we
find it stated that the marriage of Mr.
George Donisthorpe to the ageeable Mrs.
Mary Barker took place; there is not any
mention of money. It is said that the fol
lowing. one of the latest instances of this
kind of announcement, appeared in " Arts’
Birmingham Gazette" for July 14, 1800. It
records the fnarriage of the lit. Hon. Mr.
Canning, Under Secretary of State, to Miss
Smtt, sister of the Marchioness of Tieh
field, “with £ 100.000 fortune.”
