8 THE CORNER-STONE LAID. THE NEW EPISCOPAL ORPHANS’ HOME BUILDING. Imposing Ceremonies in Winch the Clergy Participate Rev. Thomas Boone’s Address -The Origin and Growth of the Charity Bishop Elliott Its Founder -Progress of Work on the Building. The corner-stone of the new building for the Episcopal Orphans' Home was laid yes terday afternoon. The ceremony began at f> o'clock. Threatening clouds and a few drops of rain kept away a great many, but, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, there was quite a large number of spectators present. Rev. Thomas Boone conducted the exercises, assisted by Rev. Charles H. Strong, Rev. G. E. W. Kisse and Rev. J. J. Andrew'. Besides the clergy, there were on the platform the lady managers of the Home, Aldermen Mills, Thomas, Schwarz and Reid and other prominent citizens, and Sister Charlotte and the orphans under her charge. THE CEREMONY. The office of the Episcopal Church for lay. ing a corner-stone was performed, begin ning with the chanting of Psalm cxxii. The stone was already in position in the north east corner of the building, hut a hole had leen loft on the inner side of the wall for the copper box to bo si ipped into the stone. Among the articles places 1 in the box were the names of the present board of managers, the names of several directresses and former members of the board of managers, some autographs, photographs, coins, a copy of yesterday's Morning News and other articles. Rev. Thomas Boone placed the box in position, after which the opening was sealed up. The inscription on the stone was as follows: * Founded Fan. A. D. 1854. : This Corner-Stone Laid April, A. D. 1887. • After hymn 275 was sung Rev. Mr. Boone delivered an address on the “Origin and Growth of the Episcopal Orphans' Home.” A NOBLE charity. Mr. Boone said: On an occasion like this it is natural to look back to the origin of the charitable institution tho corner-stone of whose new building we are at this time laying. To review the history of institutions, and to trace their history back to the first apparently small beginning, is always ■both interesting and instructive. The mind of "j alien mau is too apt to despise "the day of Ymnll things.” To prompt man to say: "Assign fo me some great and important work anal Will strive to do it, but this little undertaking, this insignificant duty, is hardly worth my while." But the kingdom of God, "which someth not with observation," does not often offer such great opportunities -opportunities great, according to worldly estimates, to her children. The prophet does not. come forth ns Nan man expects and utter great words and strike his hand over the place and heal the leper, but merely sen Is his servant Out to bid him bathe seven times In Jordan. And so it ever is—“there “staudt&h one among” the multitudes "whom they know not.” But it is a mark of the great anti the good that they sett and then seize what men call the little opportunities, and do what, their hand findeth to do; and lo'. Christ hath been served: He hath been fed and visited ami cared tor by one who was doing some apparent ly slight service to one of those least of His brethren. And so. if I am correctly informed, this noble charity had its beginning in this way: One who has been judged by those who knew' him liest, themselves in many cases men of marked dis tinction, to he one of our church’s greatest sons, both in gifts and in goodness, came to Georgia to be its first Bishop. Bishop Stephen Elliott came to Savannah in 1841. He immediately organized a mission and t ook charge of it himself, as the old parish of the city. Christ church, was in charge of its well be loved pastor. Rev. Dr. Edward Neufville, and the Bishopt wished to do ministerial work in ad dition to his more strictly Episcopal duties. rorxDixo THr, BOM*. This mission, of which Bishop Elliott took charge immediately after his consecration, ■gr w into what is now the [orous and nourishing parish of John's church. Bishop Elliott started a nday school and a week-day parish school ■poor children connected with both Christ c|rtivh parish and St. John’s Mission. Two les at hiR request went about the city Ing up the poor children who were not and for by others and inviting them to join e two schools. They furnished those who led it with plain but nent clothing, and i a Sunday school and parish school were in. There was a box placed in the mission re those interested iu the work might place r contributions. Several persons gave to object, but the regular and liberal contribu tions of one person soon caused the little fund to exceed the sum needed for the Sunday school Sd the parish school combined, and then the ihop found a little boy who needed to lie cared for, made provision out of this fund for his support end placed an orphan in a home, even if he had not yet an "Orphans’ nome.” THE FIRST HOME. Then one after another, boys or girls, a whole family of children at one time were taken uu der tne fostering care of this new movement. The Bishop asked and received tho ready assist ance of a few ladies in this work, and the sur plus money which had suggested the caring for orphans and had made the movement seem pract Icablo was found to have been given by the Hon. Robert M. Charlton, an eminent jurist and a truly Christian layman And thus began that institution which has now, through many years and by the help of many other noble and devoted men and women of both Christ church and St. John’s church, grown to such proportions and hoa before it such possibilities or further usefulness a to need anew building on a larger plan for its fu ture work. HONOR TO THR FOUNDERS. All honor, then, to Bishop Elliott, to the ladies who helped him, and to Judge Robert M. Chari ton The Episco)i&l Orphans' Home will ever look upon that honorable group of Christians as its founders and first helpers and friends. Stephen Elliott, Georgia g ••Princely Bish op,” as Dr. Cotcsworth Pinckney calls him, who further says: “He was the most gifted man I have ever known, with a single exception.” Bishop Stevens says: “But I need not portray one w hom all Georgia loved and praised, and whose name and fame w ill ever stand in the forefront of this diocese as its first and model Bishop " Judge Robert M. Charlton's chief glory, in my judgment, was that be added to all his other good rifts of mind shown as jurist and poet the character of a sincere Christian, an tnfelli- Bent and devout churchman, oh, I hat a larger umber of our Judges. United stales Senators and poets for he was all these - were also Christians of the genuine type he was! Oh. Elliott and Chariton! ye have many memorials, but men require for you another. When this new building rises in fair proportions ns a land mark aud an ornament, we shall answer to the Inquiring multitude: If their monument Ye seek for, look urn ll ud you! Behold it lint in a building, but rather In the work which this charity lias accomplished and stuill yet do But one may ask: What is tho work which is here to tie attempted- Ik it to train poor orphan girls In such a way as to unfit them for their natural sphere In fife and so toexjsise them to dangers aud temptations in a wicked world so soon as they shall leave the filtering care of the home which has adopted Ihe in and no long cared for them- \V> answer. God foridd The purpose is to take these children nod tp train them, not for positions above their station In life, but to fit them U> do their duty in that state of life to which shall please Goo to call them."

JOLLY CARACCOUNTA NTS THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIA TION ON ITS TRAVELS. Its Pilgrimage Through Florida and Arrival at Savannah—A Visit to the Steamship Wharves and to Bonaven ture and Thunderbolt—What the As sociation is and the Men Who Com pose It- What Car Accountants Do. The International Association of Car Accountants, which met last week in At lanta, arrived in Savannah at 4:30 o’clock yesterday morning by special train from Florida and spent the day in the city. There are forty gentlemen and twenty-live ladies in the party. The association left Jdflunta Thursday night, and alter a trip through Florida is now on its way back to Atlanta, where the excursion will end and the excursionists will separate for their homes. The special train which brought the party from Jacksonville was tendered as a compliment by the Savannah, Florida and Western railway and was in charge of Mr. .1. I'. Marseher, car accountant of the mad. The excursionists were met at.the depot upon (heir arrival here by Mr George R. Patterson, local passenger agent, and carriages were placed at their disposal. DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY. At 8 o’clock the party breakfasted at the Screven House, and at 9:30 carriages were ordered by the management of the Savan nah, Florida ami Western for a drive about the city and to Bonaventure aud Thunder bolt. After inspecting the Centra! railroad wharves the party was entertained on board trie steamship City of Augusta. The Savan nah, Florida and Western wharves were then visited and after that came the drive over the shell road to Bonaventure. Upon their return to the city fvery carriage was loaded with moss gathered from the historic old oaks, whose stately trunks and moss draped branches have been and are the ad miration of thousands of visitors. The party reached the city at 1 o’clock and drove through the principal streets, along the Bay aud out Bull street to the Park, returning to the Screven House for dinner at 3 o’clock. VISITED THE ARMORIES. After dinner some of the excursionists visited the G uards’ arsenal and the Chatham Artillery armory and saw the old Washing ton guns. Another party, upon invitation of Mr. Dennis Murphy, visited the Hermit age, and others visited Forsyth Pork. At 3:30 carriages were again ordered to take the party ter the Charleston depot, and at 4 o’clock they left by special train, placed at their disposal bv the Charleston and Savan nah railway, for the Earthquake City. They were due there at' B o’clock last night, and were met by Car Accountants Lloyd, of the Charleston and Savannah, and Rourke, of the South Carolina roads. To-day they will witness the unveiling of the Calhoun monument and will visit Fort Sumter, and to-night will leave for Augusta via the South Carolina railway. From Augusta they will go to Atlanta, reaching there to morrow morning, after a five days’ trip. The Central railroad tendered the party a special train to Atlanta, and arrangements were made by Mr. Theo. Wells, Car Ac oountant of the Central, to take them back to the starting point of the excursion, but a change of route necessitated the abandoning of the trip. Every courtesy was shown tho excursionists by the Central people here. THE FLORIDA “PILGRIMAGE.” The “pilgrimage” through Florida was a mast interesting one, and the excursionists were splendidly entertained wherever they stopped. Leaving Atlanta by the East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia road on Thurs day night, they reached Brunswick the next morning, and were taken to Fernandina by the Cumberland line of steamers. At Fer naudina they were tendered a dinner by the citizens. Leaving there by special train over the Florida Railway and Navigation line, in charge of Mr. C. W. Maxwell, car accountant, of’ the company, thev reached Jacksonville Saturday morning. There thev were tendered an excursion to Pablo Beach by the Jacksonville and Atlantic road. Re turning to Jacksonville Saturday night, they left by the Deßary Baya steamer City of Jacksonville for Palatka. From Palatka the excui-sionists were taken to Rt. Augustine. They spent several hours in the Ancient City, visiting the vari ous points of interest, among others the ruins of the old cathedral and the slave market and Fort Marion, and returned to Jacksonville Sunday evening by the Jack sonville. Tampa and Key West road, where they were taken in charge by Mr. Marscher and started for Savannah. A FINE BODY OF MEN. The association is composed of as fine a body of railroad men as has ever visited the South. Frank J. Hoyle, President of the association, is a Southern man, representing the East Tennessee, Virginia ami Georgia system. He is an Atlantian by birth, and began his railroad career as a telegraph ojierator on the Western and Atlantic rail road, at the little town of Aeworth, in 1871. His success and promotion were rapid, for within a > <sir's time lie was appointed chief operator of the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad, now the Alabama Great Southern, with headquarters at Bir mingham, having his office in the first, house built in that city. During three stirring times he sei-ved under no less than five different administrations in one year. After quitting the railroad business for a time he returned to it in tSKI as bill ing clerk at a small terminal station on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. His promotion was rapid. In 1883 he was ad vanced from assistant train dispatcher to the position of ear accountant., and with one clerk took charge of the ear service depart ment of the East Tennessee system. AN EFFICIENT OFFICER. He has been an earnest, zealous and hard working member of the Car Accountants’ Association since it was organized, and his election to the presidency is a recognition of his ability and fitness for the position. He was elect-si Vice President a year ago. The other ofßiv.s of 1 iie association who are with the party arc Mr. Klbridgc M. Horton, of the Illinois Central railroad. Treasurer, and Mr. H. H. Lyon, of the Chicago and Alton road, Secretary. Both are active, energetic railroad men and efficient representatives of the association. WHAT A OAR ACCOUNTANT DOES. The otije -t of the Car Accountants’Asso ciation is to secure uniformity of reports and actions in everything pertaining to the car service department. The duty of near accountant is to kis-p a record of the move ments of the cars of his road. The w ork has been greatly improved and systema tized through the efforts of the association. For example, a Central railroad car loaded, say, witli merchandise for St. Paul, or Min neapolis. or Fargo, or even San Francisco. The car gm-s through to its nostina -1 n *ii, and by a system of reports the C -utral railroad ear accountant keeps his eyes upon it all the time. A report, is made to him every time ft passes from -me road to another until it reaches its tinal destination. Then the Om ini's accountant will telegraph for its inune lint - return, and as wsm nr It has been unload'd tl will lv- started bark to Havaiuiuh. an-l ilailv ivjinri* willbereocned ot it:, progress until it rolls inU> tha yard here.

At 8 o’clock last night the twelve jurors in the Thomas Fogarty ease completed their seventy-two hours of captivity and were discharged. All day they remained out patiently waiting lor His Honor, Judge Adams, to send for them. Finally, at fi o’clook a message was sent to the Judge in forming him that there was no prospect of a verdict. He reached the court house about 7 o’clock. Solicitor Generaldußignon, representing tho State, and Col. Wil liam Garrard, representing the de fendant, were present. Fogarty had not been brought out from jail and hi shonor said that he would be back at 8 o’clock. At that hour the prisoner was taken into the court room, and the lawyers being present the jurors were called in. Some of them were expecting they would have to stay out another night and lmd already wrapped themselves up for slumber. When they were all seated Judge Adams, addressing Mr. D. G. Ileidt, said:- “Mr. Foreman—l have received a commu nication in which you state that in your opinion the jury cannot agree. Have you any difficulty about any question of law?” Tdon’t think so," the foreman replied. “You do not desire to be recharged?” “Your charge, I believe, was fully under stood.” “There is no question, then, as to which the court can aid you in any manner?” “It does not seem so to me, sir. We have talked the case over freely, and cannot agree.” “Are you perfectly satisfied that this jury cannot agree?" “There docs not apjiear to be any chance, your honor.” “Then, gentlemen, relying upon that statement of your foreman, I will not keep vou together longer, and inasmuch as you have been away from your homes, your business and your families for four days I do not think tint the court ought to require you anv longer.” Mr. Ileidt was accordingly withdrawn and a mistrial was declared. The twelve jurors were then discharged for the term. Mr. dußignon immediately asked the court to reassign the cosa for trial to-morrow, saying that ho thought it was his duty to the State and the public to try the case at the present term. Col. Uarrwu objected to an assignment for to-morrow. Mr. Meldrim, his partner, is in Atlanta, he stated, attending the Su preme Court and will be engaged there on Wednesday and probably on Thursday. As Mr. Meldrim had conducted the defense Col. Garrard staled that it would be im possible for his firm to handle the ease this week. Judge Adams stated tiiat he had intended to adjourn the court on Saturday for the term, as he will start out on the cir cuit Monday, going to Bryan county. He finally decided to set the case for Thursday of next week. May 5. Fogarty was taken back to jail after the mistrial was declared. There were very few present in court when the jury came in. The young prisoner appeared to be consid erably affected. One of the jurors stated that they stood ten for conviction and two for acquittal, the two being Robert J. liar-, per and Joseph E. Campas. One of the ju rors desired it stated that they did not guy anj- ladies while locked up. The deputies all agreed that it was the quietest jury that they ever had charge of for such n long time, In case it seems impossible to Judge Adams for an impart ial jury to be obtained he can grant a change of venue upon the applica tion of either the defense or the State and transfer the case to one of the other counties in the circuit.

The YViltberger Cellar Broken Into and Several Hundred Bottles of Rare Ma deira Stolen- Three of the Thieves Captured—Wines that Cost Thous ands of Dollars Drunk by Negro Por ters and Yardmen. tV ill lain Dixon, Adam Matthews and Tom Golden were arrested last night for burglarizing a private wine vault in the Pulaski House cellar. Dixon is a fireman at the Pulaski and Matthews is a yard man. Both were committed to jail. Golden gave bond and was released. The cellar of the hotel is a series of heavy walled apartments. About the centre of the building, on the south side, is a deep vault with brick walls several feet thick, reached through a narrow, dark passage way. The door open ing into the vault is a ponderous wood affair several inches thick, strongly bolted and hung upon huge iron hinges. It was fast ened with two locks—one a strong padlock slipped over an iron strap and through a staple. Inside of this vault is another smaller vault built in one corner, and closed with a heavy plank door. Both vaults aiy lighted by small, heavily haired and grated windows. RARE OI,D WINES. In these two cellars the rare old wines be longing to the Wiitberger estate were stored. They were known to bo ancient vintages, and were valued at thousands of dollars. Some time ago Capt. James K. Clarke and Judge W. S. Chisholm purchased the wine, or a part of it, for $2,(X10. The vaults were kept locked and the keys were in possession of Col. R. J. Davont, agent of the estate. While going through the cellar of the hotel yesterday Col. Davaut found the door of the outer vault partly open. The lock was broken and the staple was twisted off. Inside everything was in confusion Empty wine cases were scattered over the floor and piles of sawdust indicated that someone had been in there very recently. The door of the inner vault was broken down and torn from its hinges. SEARCHING THE CELLAR. Detective Wetberhom was notified, and in company with Col. Davant made a thor ough examination of the interior of the cel lar. It was evident that a large amount of wine had been taken, but how much it was impossible to tell, as there was no list ob tainable. Dixon and Matthews, the two negroes em ployed in the cellar and in the hotel yard, slept in a room near the vault, and they were at once suspected of being the guilty parties. Dixon was found at work in the yard, and was accused of the theft. He admitted that he had 1 icen in the vault and had taken away some of the wine, and said that he had five or six bottles of it then in his room. He was immediately ar rested, with Matthews, who roomed with him. Both negroes were taken lief ore Justice Waring Russell, Jr., and a warrant charg ing them with burglary was sworn out by Col. Davant. PART OF IT RECOVERED. Their room was searched and twenty-seven bottles of wine and a quantity of table and glassware from the hotel dining room and from Sullivan’s bar was found stowed away. Dixon admitted that he took the wine, but denied that he broke into the vault. He said that he found the door open last Thurs day and went in and got the wine. He had drank several bottles of it, but said that he didn’t like it very well. “It may be good, but it aint de right wine for me, he said to Capt. Clarke when asked how he liked it. Matthew's denied having been in the vault or having drank any of the wine. When close pressed Dixon implicated Golden in the theft. He said that he told Golden about the wine last week, and took him down to the cellar and into the vault, and that Golden carried some of the wine away. HIDDEN UNDER A BED. Officer Wetherhoru went to Golden's house in Tama craw and accused him of the theft. He denied it at ilrst, but after he learned that Dixon had given him away he admitted that he did have several bottles of the wine. A search was made and thirty-five bottles were found hidden under a bed. Golden and several of his friends had a gathering on Sunday and drank thirteen bottles—how much more the officers didn’t learn. It was evidently of too rare a vintage for Golden, as he was pretty well used up, bar ing dis posed of something over a case of the wine, worth at the lowest estimate si>o a case. Golden was arrested for burglary on a war rant sworn out by Capt. Clarke.' SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES. Golden said that Dixon told him that he had been stealing the wane for eight months. The thieving, it is evident, has been going on for at least that length of time, as Air. Sullivan has for several months paSt missed wines from his vaults adjoining the one broken open, and various articles have been taken from the hotel stores. Dixon had the keys to the cellars, and has doubt less kept himself and his friends supplied with the fat of the land from the wine vaults and hotel storerooms for a year or more. The w ine in the Wiltberger cellar was fine old Madeira of the vintages of ’BO, 'B2 and 'B 7. Capt. Clarke said that there was not a bottle of it that was not worth $•!. The case against Dixon and Golden will be pushed, and in the meanwhile an investi gation will he made to discover if possible other robberies that have been committed in the hotel.

Mary Josephs was the de fendant in a case charging her with stab bing Frankie Stevens. The prosecutrix claimed that she was out with a razor. The defendant said that she used a beer bottle. Half a dozen women and nearly' as many' men swore some that they saw a razor and others that no razor was used. After all the evidence was in and the argument was concluded, Judge Harden remarked that whether a .razor was used or not, there cer tainly was a disgraceful affray in the street on the day in question, March 4, and he or dered tile defendant to pay $5O, Savannah Acqtd^rny,, Ei naai, SMpicub t .ctjO.
