REACHING INTO ALABAMA
SAVANNAH’S NEW SHORT LINE TO
MONTGOMERY.
The Alabama Midland to Connect
With the Savannah, Florida and
Western at Bainbridge—Advantages
of the Connection to Savannah—New
Fields of Trade to be Developed.
Mr. R. A. Lytle, of Bainbridge, is in the
city on his way North in the interests of the
Alabama Midland railroad. About a
month ago Mr. Lytle was here with Col. J.
I). Harrell, of Bainbridge, and Mr. Godfry
Peterson, of Montgomery, Ala., and spent
several days talking up the road and show
ing what it would be as a connection of
Savannah’s.
The road, as first surveyed, was
from Montgomery to Chattahoochee.
Bainbridge saw that the line is bound to
draw a large and valuable trade and some
of her citizens proposed that the road be ex
tended through Early and Decatur counties
to Bainbridge. Enough money was guaran
teed along the original route,' from Mont
gomery to Chattahoochee, to warrant out
side capitalists in taking hold of the enter
prise.
TO START FROM BATNBKIDGE.
When it was proposed that the line
be diverted from Chattahoochee and from
Dothen, deflect across to Gordon on the
river and thence to Bainbridge, it was
agreed that, if Bainbridge would sub
scribed $50,006 the route would be changed.
The first canvass of Bainbridge obtained
subscriptions for $30,000. and it was derided
that Savannah be asked to help out the two
southwestern counties. Those interested in
the movement had reason to believe that
they would get assistance from Savannah,
hs she will be greatly benefited bv the new
road, should it connect with the Savannah,
Florida and Western at Bainbridge.
Several thousand dollars in subscriptions
were obtained here and the business men
took hold of the matter, recognizing at once
the importance of a connection at Bainbridge
with a road developing as fine a section of
country as that through which it will run
READY TO BEGIN WORK.
After Col. Harrell and Mr. Lytle returned
to Bainbridge a further canvass was made
there and the subscription was readily
increased to $53,000 —more than was first
asked. The company will have all the
money it wants to build the road, and it
has enough on hand now to build and equip
the first thirty-six miles. Air. Lytle said that
•work will begin at Bainbridge not
later than Aug. 1, and possibly before
that time.
The company’s bonds have already been
placed in New York, and everytliing is
being got in shape to begin operations. The
road, when completed through to Bain
bridge, will give a short line of 411 miles
between Savannah and Montgomery, and
will open up one of the richest sections of
Alabama. The principal towns on the road
are Troy, Ozark, Dothen and Gordon.
A RICH TRADE SECTION.
The Alabama counties through which the
road will pass are Montgomery, Pike, Dale
nd Henry, and it will draw a large trade
from Barbour, the last named being much
the wealthiest county, agriculturally, in the
State. Its population was 18,781 according
to the last census, and the total population
of all the counties through which the line
will pass was then 180,000. In 1879 the half
dozen Alabama counties mentioned pro
duced 400,000 bushels of corn, 225,000 bushels
rice and 157,356 bales of cotton. The
igNibps now are estimated to be 30 per cent.
■Beer than they were then.
projectors of the road say that Ravan
will get a very large percentage of the
cetton by the way of Bainbridge from the
fiMycr counties of Alabama that now goes to
■ CcSumbus. The company is on a solid basis,
HRr. Lytle says, and the road will i>e pushed
, ■fongh to completion at the earliest posd
bte (lay.
[ A KNIFE NEAR HIS HEART.
pP&arles Linguist Stabs Edward Janaen
on the Pilot Boat Glynn.
HSihe pilot boat Glynn arrived up to the
city yesterduy afternoon from quarantine
with the excuisionists who left Savannah
three weeks ago for Nassau. They
were landed and Capt, Rock
ingham was just making ready to put out
for Brunswick when a row occurred that
forced him to tie up again. He hud three
sanoi-s, Charles Linguist, Edward Jansen
and Sam Thompson, who were firm friends.
Linguist was lying near the lew asleep and
the Captain told Jansen to go forward
and wake him up. Jansen shook him and
tried to rouse him, and at last got him on
his feet and they were scuflUug in an appar
ently pleasant manner as they frequently
did on lioard, when Jansen cried out, “I’m
cnt.”
The sffleuing ceased and both men went
aft. Jansen’s shirt was torn open and a
deep cut in his left side was exposed just
below the heart and extending vertically
for about three inches. The affair caused
but little excitement and lwith men walked
about the boat for at least, an hour. Then
Linguist started away and was arrested and
taken to the police barracks. Jansen started
up the street to see a physician, and thougli
his cut had bled but little at first,
the exercise started the blood flowing and
he had to lie carried fr< >m Broughton street
to the City Hospital. Dr. William Duncan
•was called in but the wound was in such a
condition that it. was impossible to tell its
exact nature. Dr. Duncan, said, however,
that he did not think it wus very danger
ous.
Capt Rockingham said that he did not
think Linguist intended to kill Jansen, as
they were good friends and often sparred
together as they were doing at the time of
the accident. lie thought that the trouble
was the bad rum they had been drinking.
Home of the men on board the
eohoone said that after the
stabbing Linguist explained that
lie had just awakened and thought someone,
was beating him. Thompson, the other of
the trio, ran away shortly after the affair
because he thought thut he would lie called
upon to testify in •<-ourt, and he did not
want to appeal- as a witness in the case.
Whit Sunday.
To-day is Whit Sunday, the festival in
which the Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches celebrate tho outpouring of the
Holy Ghcst upon tho apostles and through
them upon His church, to abide forever. In

Episcopal church the collect for the day is
the ancient one, being traced to Gregory’s
Barramentorv. Its epistle agrees with tiio
Eastern epistle und its gosjW is the same ns
in the Latin us -. In both tho Episcopal
and Homan Catholic churches tho festival
will be observed with appropriate services.

THE FEAST OF PENTECOST.
The Services at the Mtckva Israel
Synagogue This Mormng.
The Jewish feast of Pentecost began last
night at sundown. The festival is also
known as the “Feast of Weeks.” Its name
is derived from the computation of time
commencing with the eve of Passover, viz :
fifty days. The statute for the observance
of this sacred day by the sons of Israel is in
Numbers, xxviii, 36, and was instituted for
the purpose of enlightening their minds by
the declaration and promulgation of the
law and the Mosaic institution on which it
is founded.
The festival is celebrated with general
rejoicing by the Jewish people. The syna
gogues are decorated with flowers. The
ark containing the scrolls of the law and the
reading desk and pulpit are also ornamented
with handsome floral offerings and wreaths
of evergreen. The reading of portions of
the Book of Ruth forms part of the ritual
service, and is intended to impress the mind
with obedience to the command of God,
as inculcating charity, kindness and broth
erly lore. The reading of the Ten Com
mandments is also another impressive por
tion of the service as intoned emphasis is
given to each in the original text.
This morning’s service at the Mickva
Israel synagogue will be tho confirmation
service. There are five conflrmants. Misses
Pauline Kulman, Ida Meinhard, Bertha I.
Rosenheim, Pauline Weil and Lillian R.
S ares, who will be received into the
Jewish church in accordance with the forms
of the Hebrew ecclesiastical law under the
ministration of Rev. Isaac P. Mendt*.

Benediction.
The synagogue will be beautifully deco
rated for the service, one of the special
features of which, aside from the confirma
tion and the pastor’s address, will be the
music by the synagogue choir. More than
thirtv-three centuries ago, on the 6th day of
the Hebrew month Hi van, a multitude of
men, women and children stood around the
sacred mount, and while its awful grandeur
impressed their senses, were made acquainted
with those imperishable tmths which have
become the moral law for all civilized peo
ples. It was for this great purpose that the
sons of Jacob were delivered from physical
servitude after 440 years of bondage in
Egypt, and their mental freedom also con
summated, when they became the custodians
of the divine law. The festival is, therefore,
sacredly observed, as it commemorates the
most important event in Jewish history,
la-rag the day on which God, through the in
spired legislator, proclaimed tho Decalogue
amid the thunders of Sinai.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Alice Clark Catches Fire—s 4 Bales
of Cotton Thrown Overboard.
The steamer Alice Clark narrowly escaped
a disastrous fire yesterday morning while
on her way frow Augusta to Savannah with
a load of compressed cotton. She left Augusta
at 8 o’clock Saturday morning, but the
river was low and when she was only five
miles out she struck a sand bar, on which
she laid until Wednesday evening.
Between 8 and 9 o’clock yesterday morn
ing, while she was one mile above Porter’s
Landing, eighty-five miles from Savannah,
n fire was discovered in a pile of cotton on
the port side forward. The wind was blow
ing the flames toward the boat, so Capt.
Philpot ordered her turned around and in
that way saved the boat from all damage
except a* slight scorching. Meanwhile the
signal of distress was blown and all hands
were put to work throwing the burning
bales overboard.
The Ethel was only a mile behind tho Alice
Clark, and she put on more speed and
steamed down. She got out her hose and
started her pumps to work, and before she
touched the Clark she was poiiring a stream
of water on tho fire. All
her crew boarded the Clark and
assisted in heaving over the burning bales,
and with the aid of the Ethel the fire was
soon extinguished. The Clark had 600 bales
on board, but there were only 54 bales in the
pile in which the fire occurred. They were
all more or less burned, but the flames were
put out as soon as they went overboard, for
the port wheel was kept working, and as
each bale floated down it was sueked under.
A force of men was left behind to catch
them and they will all be taken out at Por
ter's Landing. The cotton was consigned
by various shippers to Raili Bros. one
has been able to give any theory of the
origin of the fire as there were no flames
near the pile.
THE MELON CROP OUTLOOK.
The Acreage 25 Per Cent. Greater
Than It was Last Year.
The reports from South Georgia concern
ing the watermelon crop are most encourag
iug. The melons are maturing rapidly and
well, and the growth of the fruit is fully
equal to that of any previous year. The es
timate of the acreage now planted places it
at 25 per cent, more than last year, and all
bearing largo crops.
The South Georgia planters will begin
shipping about June 15, but Florida will be
gin eight days earlier than that. The Sa
vannah, Florida and "Western railway ex
pects to haul between 1,500 and 2,000 cars
lliis season, and to exccll the business of
any previous year. The record of the
number they have hauled in the last five
years gives an idea of the rapid growth of
the mdon business. In 18.82 the road hauled
but 576 cars; in 1888, 1,853 cars: in 1884,
1,200 cars; in 1885, t,29S cars, and in 1880,
1,445 cars.
A spurt was made in 1883, but the other
years better illustrate the, advance of that
interest. It is expected that this season
they will certainly carry more than in 1883
even, and may be a great deal more. Each
ear represents 1,000 melons, and if the num
lier of cars hauled should reach 2,000 they
would contain 2,000,000 melons.
A BISHOP IN JAIL.
“Rev.” S. S. Roberts Behind the Bars
for Safe Keeping.
Rev. S. 8. a psuedo Bishop of
the African Episcopal church, was before
the Mayor yesterday for disorderly con
duct. He was charged with ringing door
bells and disturbing the residents of the
southern part of the city.
Roberts’ history has already been written
in the Muhm.su News. He claims to be an
ordained minister and a Bishop of the Col
ored Episcopal church and has preached at
various churches in the city during the past
year. lie has several times called ou the
clergy of the regular churches, and when lie
was arraigned yesterday he referred to
the rectors of Christ, and St. John's, and to
several promineut citizens whom he wanted
subpoened to prove that he is the victim of
a conspiracy.
It is generally believed that his mind is
unbalanced, and several witnesses, among
whom were B. A. Denmark, Esq., testified
to that effect. The Mayor continued the
case for further investigation, and later
in tho day Roberts was committed to
jail on a warrant issued by Judge Ferrill,
of the Court of Ordinary, upon an atli.lavit
of Mi-. Denmark. A commission will be
suuunoue.l to consider his sanity.

The Cylinder Gin Company has been or
ganized In Charleston to manufacture tho
Mason cylinder cotton gin.

BASE BAIL OVER WITH.
THE SAVANNAH CLUB DISBANDS
AND THE TEAM RELEASED.
Lock of Support the Cause of Its Fail
ure—The Association in Debt and
the Club Carried by the Directors—
s2,ooo Sunk in the Enterprise—Ef
fect of Savannah’s Withdrawal on
the League.
There was a rumor on the street last night
that the Savannah Base BaU Club had dis
banded and would play no more games. It
floated around in an aimless, undefined way
and for awhile nothing could be learned
that would give the report a shadow of
foundation.
A few of the players gathered in the
rotunda of the Marshall House and
the break was the subject of their conver
sation. There was a sort of desperate humor
about the way they pictured the pleasures
of walking "home, but on the whole they
took the matter very coolly. President
Haas was found at his residence and was
asked if it was true that the club had dis
banded.
“Yes,” lie replied, “I am sorry to say it
is true.”
“What was the immediate cause?”
“Well, the whole thing boiled down is
simply this: The people of Savannah have
signified by their attendance, or rather their
non-attenuanoe. that they do not care for
base ball, and it is useless to try and force
upon them what they do not want.”
CAUSE OF THE BREAK UP.
“Financial difficulties, of course, caused
the disbandment 1”
“Yes. Savannah would not support the
team and it had to go under. The directors
have been carrying it for ten days, but they
do not propose to repeat their experience of
last year. Then we each lost $5OO. Two of
us will . lose nearly as much
this year, and the others and
the stockholders will lose some
thing. A base ball club cannot be run
on uothing. We are under an expense of
$7O for every working day, rain or shine,
and unless our receipts exceed that we, as a
club, cannot run. When we are on the road
we sustain a dead loss of players’
salaries. Our guarantee just about paid
our traveling expenses, but we made noth
ing with which to pay the players. For the
last week or ten days the receipts have not
averaged more than $lO in excess of the
guarantee. The visiting club's guarantee
of 865 has to bo paid, aud the balance
of the receipts we keep, but, as I said, our
share has not averaged $lO a game, and day
before yesterday the excess was only 40c.
Now, how is anyone to support a club that
cost $7O when the people won’t do any more
than that?
PLENTY OF ADVICE BUT NO MONEY.
“We have had plenty of advice from the
public. The people nave all told us to
strengthen up, but when we asked how much
sinew they would furnish they said ‘Good
evening’ W have not disbanded without
making an effort to put the club on its feet.
We have been to the merchants and promi
nent men, and we have got $5OO whero we
needed $2,000. They will give their advice
free, but they will not put up any money.”
“"How much will the club lose t ’
“We deposited with the league a forfeit
fund of $1,000; then we had s‘2so voted to
us when Mobile failed to appear at Birming
ham, and when Mobile disbanded we got
$2OO, our portion of their forfeit. All that
we will lose, besides what the directors have
paid out in the last ten days.”
“What do the debts amount to?”
“About all that we owe is to the players.
There are some debts outside of that, but I
don’t think that thev amount to much over
$50.”
THE CLUB'S INDEBTEDNESS.
“What is the total indebtedness?”
“Between $5OO and $4OO, I think,”
“Will all these debts be paid?”
“Oh, yes. The stockholders and directors
will pay all that.”
“The club will play no more games, will
it?”
“No more schedule games, but an exhi
bition game will be played on Monday for
the benefit of the players. Some of them
have drawn all their money in advance and
have not got a cent. Those that have money
will go home after that game, and we want
to raise enough to start tne others off.”
“Have the men been released?”
“Before we broke up we released Dur
meyer to Charleston. Charleston has been
very kind to us, and we wanted to do what
we could for them.”
THE FINAL COLLAPSE.
The collapse of the team was not a sur
prise to those who heard it last night; in
fact, those who have watched the career of
the club have been wondering whnt has kept
it together so long. This is the second season
of professional baseball in Savannah, and
both years the club wound up with a catas
trophe before the season was over. It is
not likely that Savannah will 'meddle with
Imse Imll again very soon. What effect
Savannah’s withdrawal will have on the
league remains to tie seen.
In its present shaky condition it stands
about as good a chance of going to pieces ns
it does of pulling through the season.
Memphis will probably leave to-night or
to-morrow morning.
SAVANNAH’S LAST GAME.
Sneed’s Men Win After a Hard Fight—
The Score.
The Savannah-Memphis game yesterday
was probably the last professional base Emil
that will be played here for some time. The
Memphians won, but they were close pushed
by tlm locals, who played better bali than
they have played for a good while. Veacb
was knocked out of the box in
the first inning. “Bobby” Black
was than put in and held down the hits very
close the rest of the game. McArthur was
hit hard and had to lie taken out of the box
after three innings, and Somers was put in.
The change did not Imtter things very much
and in the sixth inning McArthur
went bock. It was up hill
work for the locals, but they made a hard
fight The visitors’ heavy batting and su
perior fielding and base running won the
game. There were a number of close decis
ions, and Umpire Suck acquitted himself
ably and gave entire satisfaction to both
sides. There was no kicking; in fact, there
was no cause for any. The score was:

CHARLESTON’S BIG VICTORY.
The Carolinians Save Themselvef from
Nashville’s Vengeance.
Charleston, May 28.—An immense audi
ence, the largest of the season, witnessed
Charleston's second victory over the pen
nant leaders this afternoon. It was a
square fight between two ex-Mobile pitchers
—Hungler for Charleston and Masron for
Nashville. Both men were very effective,
the hits being limited to six a side. A* one
time it looked as if Charleston would have
a walk-over. For five innings Hungler kept
the visitors fanning the air, and while
Masron did not give many hits, the errors
of the visitors enabled the home team to
put up four runs, one in the first, two
in the third and one in the seventh.
In the eighth inning the Charleston team
seemed about to go to pieces; they fumbled
the balls, muffl'd easy five and threw
wildly and the visitors managed to get in
two runs, which together with one scored in
the third inning made the score 3to 4. In
the ninth inning Charleston was shut out.
Nashville, on the contrary, by good hitting
filled the bases, and the audience held its
breath in fear and trembling. The homo
team, however, quickly rallied and managed
to shut out the visitors” winning the victory.
The score was:
Charleston 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 o—4
Nashville 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 o—3
Base hits—Charleston 6, Nashville 6.

ALMOST A RIOT.
A Cleveland, 0., Game Breaks Up In a
Row.
Cleveland, 0., May 38.—The base baU
grounds in this city narrowly escaped being
the scene of a riot in the sixth inning of to
day’s game. Umpire Valentine’s decision
against the home team in that inning, retir
ing Mann at third base, necessitated the
calling of the game, and all playing was
suspended for fifteen minutes, which time
an infuriated crowd hissed and hooted until
the very air became sulphurous. It was
Umpire Valentine’s third decision against
the home team in the game.
Bay Street Dudes at Guyton.
Guyton, May 38.—The Guytons played
the Bay Street Dudes a whining game to
day. The game stood 10 to 10 at the end of
the eighth inning. The visiting club then
declined to abide by a decision of Mr. Ferris
Carm, umpire, and refused to play the last
inning. The game was given to the Guy
tons on a score of 9 to 0.
Base BaU at Jesup.
Jesue, Ga., May 38.—The Jesup Base
Ball Club played the Blackshear club at the
latter place yesterday. The score was 12 to
6in favor of Jesup. The batteries were:
Savage and Fulmer for Jesup, and Riggen
and Riggen for Blackshear. Struck out—
by Savage 13, by Riggen 4. Left on bases—
Jesup 12, Blackshear 4.
