10 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 the Primitive church the day was always observed with holy solemnities. In tne Episcopal church the collect for the day is the ancient one, being traced to Gregory’s Barramentorv.

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.

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. SAVANNAH’S INSURANCE CO. The Fire and Marino Insurance Com pany Ready for Business. The Savannah Fire and Marine Insurance Company is now ready for business; in fact it lias already begun, and its officers snv it is meeting with prompt and flattering recog nition by the insuring public of Savannah. This is as it should be. and there is no doubt that the company has a bright future before it. The balance of unpaid stock is lieing paid in daily, and by June 15 the company will have a cash capital of $200,000. The man agement is composed of well-known busi ness men, and Savannahians can get no better protection than this comtiony fur nishes. Ad thriving business centres of the importance of Savannah lioast of one or more excellent fire insurance companies, and there is seemingly no reason why this company shall not take rank with the bast of them.

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. Over In Charleston. The Cylinder Gin Company has been or ganized In Charleston to manufacture tho Mason cylinder cotton gin. The National Grange, Patrons of Hus bandry, has issued an interesting memorial circular on the life and character of the lute Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, one of the founders and leading spirits of the order. It consists of an official announcement, of the death of Mr. Aiken by the Hon. Put. Darden, of Fnyette, Miss., Master of the National Grange; a letter of J. N. Lipscomb, Master of the State Grange, and a warm tribute of respect from John Trimble, of Washington, D.

We f |j y Lippman 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 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. Two base hits—Grady 1. Total base hits—Charleston 7, Nashville 6.

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.
