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. D. C. Bacon & Cos. Dissolved.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1887. GENERAL RAILWAY JIEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Work is progressing on the Winter Park and Orlando (Kla.) railroad. At the railroad meeting at Weston Satur day 500 was subscribed to the Columbus Southern. Nearly every town in South Carolina is making an effort to secure some kind of factory, or to secure letter railroad connec tions. The track laying force- on the Florida Railway and Navigation line have reached th- Hilislioro river, fourteen miles north of Plant City. Arrangements are being made fora union depot for the South < 'nroliim, the Barnwell and Biaekville and the Blaekvillo and Ne.vliC'Tv railroads, to bo built at Biaekville, N. C. It is stated that over 50.000 metal ties have been order -1 from England for the railways in Mexico, to be delivered and laid ori their extensions during 1887. Many of these tie- tire to lie used hundreds of miles Inland from tho point of delivery on the const of Mexico, after being freighted across the ocean. The Waynesboro Trur (,'ih'zeit says that Mr. Mark Tarver, who litr- lieen thesuper vie.r <if that branch of the Central, is now th l rondmaster of the South Carolina di vision. Mr. J. C. Wilkin*, of Augusta, who was formerly the roudmastorof the Augusta & Knoxville and Port Royal roads, is now the supervisor of the t 'arolina division in which is included the Augusta and Savannah railroad Anew railroad was surveyed last, week to Parkersburg. Marion county (Fla.), by the Parkersburg (Fla.) Isold Company from a point on Ui” Silver springs < cala and Gulf railroad, above tho head of Blue Spring, a distance of about four miles. The survey was under the supervision of Messrs W. P. sh Kiuney, of Parkersburg, 'V. Ya . aud John Frank, of Jacksonville, a committee representing the land company. The peo pie of Parkersburg turned out very rn 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.

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 stating that he v.HI arrive in the morning with anew battery. The following is the official score: MEMPHIS. a. a. r. a a s.b. r.o. a. k.

Nashville, Tens., April 18.—Cold rainy weather prevented the game between Nash ville and Charleston to-day. Jack Haves 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.

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.” Local Personal. Mr. Louis W.
