4 NEW YORK RESTAURANTS. I! WAY THOUSANDS OF BUSI ESS MEN ARE FED DAILY. f Deadbeats are Treated The rning Summer-The Rush to the ashore Fine Dressing on Fifth Avenue —Long Waists With Big Girdles. New York, June 4.—Nothing impresses a stranger more with an idea of the vast ness of New York than the scenes from midday to 2 o’clock in the afternoon at the great feeding places where the multitudes take their luncheon. The sights at the 0 o’clock dinner hour and at midnight, when the night workers dine, are almost as impressive. Breakfast in nearly all the great eating places is a very tame affair as Ihe number of customers. The great ; of humanity in the metropolis doesn’t or to the stranger to breakfast at all. 2 o’clock, however, the appetities of the million and more workers in the heart le city and the 500,000 transients who n New York every day Ixigin to assert lselves and the rush logins. Five thou sand well-dressed men besiege the rotunda of the As tor House and struggle to pre empt the high stools at the lunch counters. Men stand behind the seats of those who are eating and wait a quarter of an hourfor the fortunate occupant of a seat to finish his luncheon. The shouts of waiters rolling out their orders blend with the noise of the con versation of the hundreds at. the tallies, and the confusion is anything but pleasant to a Western man accustomed to eating at. mid day in the comparative quiet, of n dining room. The average New York business man claims to eat a light luncheon at mid day, but the gallons of clam chowder null the dozens of great roasts carved on Jfhe lunch counters and served to customei's/ara evidence that they cat pretty heart,ilv at the luncheon hour.

The waiter ahd his fellow-guests know from the nature of his orders for luncheon that, the specula tor has become a loser on the maket: but losers nro so common that his reduced cir cumstances excite no comment. Three Spanish restaurants on Maiden Lane cater to the Spaniards and Cubans in the great tobacco houses {hereabouts. They are crowded at the luncheon- hovir with dark featured, black-moustached men, eating ex tremely torrid dishes, dear to the palate of the average Spaniard, Frijoles (beans), tor tialles (lmial cakes) and tomales, the base of which are hashed chicken. They are baked in com husks. Nearly every dish served in these Spanish restaurants is hot with the lit tle peppers so esteemed by the Spaniards. The Italian district lias comiiarativelv few restaurants, and they do not liegin brisk business until evening. The prices of the various articles of food are very low, but the quality is not so bad as a novice would expect. The idea that every Italian eats macaroni is erroneous. Residents of cer tain sections of Italy cat rii-e instead of macaroni, and their idiom for “Come and dine with me” is “I should be pleased to have you eat. rice with me.” Chinese eat little at the midday meal their luncheon restaurants on Mott and streets ore much on the plan of the grocery or bakery whose pat rons H. frugal repasts from the counters. A , white sausage tilled with minced meat is highly esteemed by them as tiding „ ■'he women workers of New York as a carry their luncheons with them. There only two or three place! down kiwi a patronized by lady luuchers, and are the high-salaried women of the prosperous houses. One of the la-st of a chop house on Franklin street, door east of Broadway, is a lady of form, who works at a high salary tryer-on of cloaks in one of the largo ■usr ia that vicinity. '■The guards and conductors on elevated have to eat their luncheons standing ■t their jiosts, and it is amusing to hear them Try to call a station and gulp down a sand wich in the same breath. Printers on even to* papers have no time to loach. Thej leize a morsel of food and eat as they work at their cases. The hunger at midday of a day worker does not compare witli the de sire for food at midnight of a night, toiler. Printers on morning; papers lira given time for a midnight luncheon, and a famous fee- UMirant ou Newspaper row is crowded with them at 12 o’clock p. m. Two of the groat newspaper offices have lunch quarters at tached to the composing rooms, where the printers get wholesome food, for which they pay at the end of the Week. In the dry goods district of New York are a great number of English chop houses whetv at the luncheon hour congregate the salesmen and commission brokers of the trade. They eat expensive dishes and are profit aide customers in the busy seasons, but when the dull trade of June sets in they order very modestly and smoke and drink sparingly. A curious feature of Pearl street, is a place kept by a person nicknamed Beef steak John. He marie a reputation during the war selling pork and beans ami is iff re. Rivals in his line sprang up, and he made a ipecialty of cheap steak and onions, He has prospered so wel 1 tiint other Beefsteak Johns have sprung up over the city. The Bowery is the paradise of cheap res taurateurs and cheap eaters. One restau rant sells meats ill ik\, coffee and tea 2c. a cup, and oilier dishes proportionately cheap. The restaurant keepers have a habit of limning their places alter celebrated men, and the Boss Tweed, Jim Fisk and Parnell restaurants ure rivals for the cheap trade of the Bowery. The Hebraw quarter has many places well patronized at, midday by orthodox Hebrews, who go there because they know the flesh and fowl they eat has been killed accordingto the law of their ro- Ugion. During the Passover season many Gentiles patronize these Hebrew eating bouses at the luncheon hour to gt the pass over bread and very good coffoe that they lervo. One luxurious saloon on Nassau street employs a high-salaried chief and furnishes a very nice meal to its patrons free of charge. It is one of the few first-class free lunch places in New York that have proven profitable, and among its patrons are emi nent lawyers and well-to-do tradesmen. Amos J. Cummings. 11. Bummer captures New York over night. No man has ever been aide to explain the phenomenon or fix the date. It comes like a thief in the night and on the following day it is there. In London, where the day for grouse shooting is set by law, and in Paris, where the time for the summer exo dus has lx-'n established for decades, it is easy enough to tell when the season begins. Not so here. To-day the theatres are run ning, the drives are crowded, the restau rants gay and the streets alive. To morrow it is a weary stretch of closed blinds, de serted thoroughfares and strange faces. The New Yorker wakes up suddenly and says; ‘•Why, hullo'. Hero it is summer again, and no plans mado for the hot months —bet- tor run down to the seaside and think it over." To the seaside ho goes forthwith—-to find that 100,000 people have precede 1 him. The weather has nothing to do with the case. It was cold enough for overcoats two days after Decoration day and yet that day ushered in the summer term. Gov. Hill stood in the boiling sun and reviewed the troups on Decoration day surrounded by a great, multitude. His yellowish face and heavy eyes told of the effects of a hard ses sion. F*or lyiurs he lifted his hat mechani cally as thg colors were carried by.

Mn horses, carriages, grooms and daintily fJKlired women have iiisappered. Calls of r frowsy aspect stand idly in the shade, with their drivers sleeping lazily on the boxes. The heads of the horses droop. House after house along Fifth avenue is shrouded in hol laed and lioarded up till winter comes again. The shops have lost the air of spick and si in n neatness tt4it, characterised them, and the dingy awnings of a year agp decor ate the town. Summer prinks arc adver tised on every comer, and the waiters stare idly from the windows of the fashionable restaurants. Half the theatres are closed. The streets are still crowded, but that inde finable element of leisure, lieauty and ele gance lent by the people of fashion and wealth lias gone. Bix-iety, maligned, abused and ridiculed as it is, has at least a sjiocta cular value. The women in the streets look travel-stained and careless; the men dusty and preoccupied. New York’s “leisure class” has disappeared. I doubt if women ever dressed with more theatrical splender in the streets than they do to-day. The latest fail —the girdle—adds greatly to the spectacular aspect which our women present, in public. There seems to Ixi no end to the scope, weight, noise, width and intricacies of the iron chains which are now in vogue. It takes a wonderfully trim and well-lined figure to boar a girdle grace fully. I was struck with this to-day as I lumbered ponderously along behind two more or less expensively attired women who *topj>ed from their carriage fora little stroll aloug Fifth avenue. One was tall, ilark, with broad slxmldors, big hips und a thick waist. Her skirt trailed on the ground on one side and was about, four inches shy on the other. She walked with a knock-kneed and toggle-jointed action that lacked all the elements of grace or jioetlo motion and chewed gum with the sincere and earnest expression of a woman who has made up her mind that she is not pretty and is con tent to let it go at that. Around her waist was a silver and iron girdle that probably cost two or three hundred dollars. It looked like an ox chain on u twisted oak. One side lugged down further than the other, and as the sun played in and out of its links it seemed a grotesque and unwieldly thing for a woman to lug along Fifth avenue. Be side the dark woman walked an exquisitely formed little blonde whose hair was coiled up, showing the whitest neck in the world, and whose anus hung easily by her side. She carried a dainty parasol in one well gloved fist, and a big white rose in the other. Her sloping and perfectly rounded shoulders led into a waist that was small and beauti fully formed. The curves of her figure would have delighted a painter, and she moved with the most graceful and catching swing imaginable. luo not think I ever saw a more perfect figure and it was accen tuated by a girdle that hugged her snug waist with a degree of affection that seemed entirely wananted. The girdle was four inches wide. There was a pendant at the side, attached to which was a silver vinai grette, a small basked mirror, a tiny fan, a button hook, a glove buttoner, a pencil, a latch key, a dog’s whistle, a small notebook w ith silver covers, a tiny lorgnette, a ix>n holder case, a chain purse, a little card case, a miniature riding whip and ten other trinkets, all of which were attached to the girdle by little silver chains. There were seven or eight small bells among them and they chimed away musically as the girl swung along. The parasol, though folded, was of some peculiar material (I have no doubt that all women are thoroughly fa miliar with it) which caught the rays of t he sun is a most jieculiar fashion, and turned from an opnl,tmt to bright pink in different spots every half minute. The handle was gold and very brightly ixilished. 1 observed that the tip was also of gold, and fashioned after the same manner as the handle. Blie wore a beaded jacket t hat fitted very snug ly about her plump figure, but which was extended nixxit the arms to twUloon-liku pro portions. Her hat was a mass of brilliancy as to coloring, und the skirt of her dross was as bright a scarlet as l have ever seen. The boots were patent leather, with little white felt over-gaiteix, and, altogether, she was us picturesquely attired us a queen of opera liouffe. Yet she attracted no attention on Fifth avenue. From a casual consideration of her I fell into a deep study ot the other ladies who passed me, and though 1 am quite unable to deserilx' tile costumes, 1 was much impressed by the universal brilliancy and color that was displayed on all sides. Yet, very few of the women looked at ull vulgur or gaudy. Blakely Hall. Wo Like Our Country Cousins. From th l ' Bainbridgr Democrat.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 1887—TWeMNIHp* THE PRESIDENT’S VACATION. Betting, Fishing and a Good Time Generally at Saranac. Prospect House, N. Y., June 4.—The President after an carl)' breakfast went off down the lake with his guide, necommnied by I)r. Bosnian and his guide, to troll in the neighlxirhood of Eagle Island. They were on the lake until dinner time w'hen they landed. From S o’clock till 8 they paddled toward home, trolling as they came. The President got back with six good “lakers.” weighing from two to six pounds, the last of which was caught by moonlight. Col. Laniont spent the day at Fay Brook, where he caught seventy-five speckled trout with a light lly roil. On his return the President found awaiting him a dispatch from the ]xistmaster at Malone an nouncing the death of ex-Vice President Wheeler at 4 o’clock this after noon. Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Lament and Mrs. Bosnian gave a pleasant little informal tea to their friends at the Saranac inn, Mrs. Cleveland making and pouring the tea and Mrs. Lumoiit and Mrs. ’Bosnian serving it. The President may start on his return to Washington Thurs day next, but he has not positively fixed the date of his departure from the lake. An invitation was to-day sent to him from West Point, urging him to stoyi there on his way back to Washington. He will probably not i‘ alilo to accept it. The President to-night sent the following dispatch to the Postmaster, Charles A. Burke, at Malone: Saranac Inn, N. Y., June 4, 18K7. While sympathizing with the citizens of Ma lone on their grief for the death of their distin guished fellow townsman, I shall be unable to attend the funeral services Tuesday next. Grover Cleveland. WANINO OF THE THISTLE. The Bonnie Scottish Yacht Losing Her Reputation. London, June 4. —The Thistle was beat to-day by the Genesta nnd the Irex in the Thnmos Yacht Club race from the Nore to Dover. The Thistle was leading by a quar ter of an hour when she ran into a calm. The other yachts kept the breeze and went ahead. The Thistle afterwards had a strong wind which compelled bor to take in her top sail and house the topmast. The wind be came light later, however, and the Thistle could not regain the lost way. The Genes ta crossed the finishing lino at 5:40 p. in., and tin 1 Irex twenty-five seconds later. The Thistle finished five minutes behind the Irex. She lost her topsail dur ing the race. The race was an extraordi nary one. At the start the wind was abemn und the Thristle immediately forged ahead. The Thistle held a brisk breeze until Fore land was reached, when she was three miles in the lead. Then the w'ind died out again, mid the rest of the boats bolding the wind, the Thistle was left liehind. The weather was thundery and the breezes were fitful and varying. The Sybil, Foxhound and Neptune took the prizes by the time allowances. When the Thistle lost her wind she was four miles ahead. The following is the time at which the vachts finished: The Genesta, 5:54:0(5; the Irex. 5:54:19-the Thistle, 5:50; the Wen dur, 5:57: *the Neptune, 0:02; the Sleuth hound, 0:150; the Foxhound, 0:08; the Sybil, (5:559; and Queen Mab, 0:45. ALABAMA CRIMES. Suicide at Decatur and a Murder at Union Springs. Montgomery, Ala., June 4. — A special from Decatur, Ala., says: J D.. Gray, aged 25 years, suicided at the Union Hall, in that city to-day, by shooting himself. He was an Englishman more recently from Florida, where he owns an orange grove and other property. He had recently invested some money m Decatur real estate. He had been in bail health for some time. He leaves a wife and child. A sixx'ial from Union Springs tells of a crime unusually shocking. Old Adam Owens, a negro aged 80 years, had a young and handsome quadroon girl for a wife. For some time Henry Roberts hail been in timate with her, and,recently when the old man was found missing one morning Henry was suspected, His attention to a certain brush heap in his new ground led to a search, when Owens’ Ixxly was brought to view. Roberts fled but was captured. The negroes came near lynching him, but the whites prevailed on them to let the law take its course. Henry confesses to having quar relled with the old man, which resulted in j his pushing Adam into a burning blush heap. A FAILURE IN FUTURES. Montgomeryites Mourn the Loss of Great Prospective Riches. Montgomery, June 4.—Phelan & Beales, of the Cotton and Produce Exchange, were attached to-day for $1,750. They were bro kers and dealt in futures on margins, Phe lan being a member of the New York Cotton Exchange and the Chicago Grain Exchange. They hat establishments in At lanta, Selina, Birmingham and one or two in other places. The failure is general, in cluding ail the branches. A number of parties here had large profits which they hail recently mode on cotton futures, in the firm's hands, the total amount being $25,- (XK). The firm to-day transferred all their cash and money in the tiank here to jiersons who hod cash margins in their hands. PERILS OF THE SEA. Wrecked Sailors Drinking Blood to Allay Their Burning Thirst. Halikax, N. S., June 4.—John Brown nnd Edward Hogan, belonging to the Glou cester fishing schooner Richard Lester, who were picked up at sea adrift in a dory, and who were landed at North underwent dreadful experience. They were adrift on the ocean for over six days without a bit of food or a drop of water. After trying all imaginable expedients to allay their burning thirst one liegan to cut one of his arms in order that they might drink his blood. But the blood would not allay their thirst. They then gave up all ho|ie of being rescued, but were at last picked up in a terribly exhausted condition by the bark ICateC. Maguire. A BAD “JOAK.” Capt. Williams’ Infernal Machtne Proves to be a Fuel Cartridge. Troy, N. Y., June 4.—The “infernal” machines received by Inspector Byrnes, Capt. Williams and the British Consul at New York Thursday, were fuel cartridges, manufactured in this city. The cartridges ail- filled with mineral cotton and are i>er fectly harmless. When saturated with kerosene oil they are ignited and used for kindling lire*. They were sent as a joke. A DEATH BLAST. Three Men Killed and Several Wound ed in Ulster County, N. Y. Roundout. N. Y., June 4.—Alfred Can field, James Cullen and Norman Bell were killed at Norton’s quarry, at Bennewater, Ulster county, by a premature blast to-day. Several other* were injured, one or more fatally. HEAVY BALTIMORE FAILURE. Proprietors of the Patapsco Chemical Works Ma.Ee an Assignment. Baltimore, Juno 4.—W. Stewart Sym ington and Thomas A. Symington, proprie tors of the Patapsco Chemical Works, made an assignment to day to John Gill for the lienefit ot their creditors. The bond of the tnistees is $400,000. The parents of a pair of Boston twins named on>* Hlinul and the other Taneous, because they were horn at the same time. Washington Crftfr CHARLESTON ITEMS. Base Ball Gossip--The Desire for a Union Depot. Charleston, June 4.—Very little else lias been thought of or talked of this week but base ball, the strained situation absorb ing most of public attention. The corre spondence between President Morrow and President Hard, in which the intention is expressed of freezing Charleston out, coming as it did the day alter President Morrow's invitation to Charleston to stick with the other four clubs and play the season out, was like a dynamite bomb, it has set the community on fire. Charleston has taken very kindly to bas- ball this season, owing to the splendid work of the home team on the home grounds, and the club is now playing at a profit for the first time since its organization in !*SKS. The receipts since the opening of the League season have averaged between S4OO and *SOO a day after paying the guarantee. Last season the stockholders lost about $:’.000, but this was owing to the fact that the association had been at the expense of procuring a park and fencing it up. They have the prospect this season of recovering their lost money and making something besides, and they do not intend to be frozen out. Charleston has offered to take the place of Savannah so far as the eastern circuit is concerned—that is, to give each visiting club eight instead of four games. This, it is claimed, will lighten their expenses of traveling and at. the same time enable the league to play out the sched ule with slight alterations to suit the exi gencies of the case. The dub can easily do this with the liberal patronage it is now re ceiving, and will at least insist upon fair treatment. THE UNION FREIGHT DEPOT QUESTION. The mercantile community are still agi tating the question of a union freight depot. This matter has been laid lief ore the rail road officials, who, without making any definite promises, have intimated that some thing might lie accomplished if a committee was appointed to confer with the railway magnates. Acting upon this hint a petition has neen drafted and is now circulating for signatures, setting forth the needs of the city and praying the establishment of a union depot on the water front. Should the petition fail to secure the depot an appeal will be made to the State Railroad Commis sion, which, in the opinion of many mer chants, has the power to remedy the evil complained of. THE EARTHQUAKE FUND. There are prospects of a lively fight be tween some soreheads and the City Council in the near future. It will be remembered that the General Relief Committee, who were charged with the distribution of the fund so generously contributed for the relief of the earthquake sufferers, after repairing all the buildings that had t>een damaged, hail something over #IOO.OOO of the fund left. The total amount contributed aggre gated something over #(500,000. In the dis tribution of this fund the committee an nounced that only the buildings of those persons who owned one house would be repaired, the object lining, of course, to as sist only the needy. The applicants were not given the money, but their houses were repaired by the committee, who paid the contractors. [lt may lie mentioned in pass ing that, notwithstanding their caution, one or two, perhaps a half dozen, persons ob tained funds who were not entitled to them.] After acting upon all the claims the committee bail some thing over SIOO, (XIO of the fund left. This amount they decided to give to the city to be used in rebuilding the hospital and almshouse, both of which were totally destroyed by the earthquake. The warrant for this disposition of the fund was found in resolutions passed by the Relief Com mittees of Boston, New York, and Phila delphia, the largest contributors to the fund, in which the wish was expressed that any surplus left in the hands of the Charleston committee might be de voted to the rebuilding of institutions de signed for the care of the sick and poor of the city. With the understanding tliat this SIOO,OOO would lie available the city has un dertaken to rebuild the hospital, and for that purpose has purchased an admirable site on the Ashley river, paying $20,000 for the same. The people of Charleston, however, are hard to please, and there are some who are not satifled with the site selected. It is now said that they contemplate applying to the courts for an injunction to prevent the appropriation of of the money to the purposes set forth above. It is difficult to see how these complainants can get a standing in court seeing that they did not contribute to the fund, but there is no doubt of their being able to find a lawyer to undertake the cast', and the papers will probably be filed at the next sitting of the court, June 20. In the meantime Mayor Courtenav, Mho has decided to retire from office when his present term expires December next, is determined to go ahead with his improve ments and work has already been com menced on all the new public buildings. He pays no attention to the threats of the cranks, but goes on persistently with the work that he has undertaken and will leave a monument which Mill mark one of the most progressive administrations in the his tory of the Old City by the Sea.

Great Damage Caused in Carroll Coun ty and Vicinity.' Carrollton, Ga.. June 2. —A most ter rific cyclone passed through Carroll county Wednesday evening about dark. All day the clouds looked threatening. The storm was severe at Bowden, but no damage was done until it reached Bimonton's mill, six miles southwest of Carrollton. There the cyclone was terrible, sweeping away Mr. Simouton’s dwelling and ail outbuildings. His damage is not less than $2,000. Mr. Bimonton and family just escaped in time by going into their cyclone pit. the house leaving as they st >pcd out. Mrs. Frank Bro M-n’s dwelling and outbuildings were blown away, killing her ipuie and cow, and also some hogs. There were several people in the house, but no lives were lost. Mr. H. B. Turner was the next serious sufferer. His house, together with all out buildings, were swept away except part of the dining-room, where the family was at supper. Mr. Turner’s loss is groat. He lost one mule and some cattle, besides his house hold goods. A negro girl, 7 years old, was earned up M-ith the cyclone and was blown one and one-half miles before she was let down. This may seem unreasonable, but is certainly true. She* says she did did not know anything until she had been carried nearly half a mile, which Mas near M. R. Russell’s, when she knew the place and heard the people crying, and saw Mr. Russell’s buildings all moved away ex cept his dwelling. Bho was found in the track of the cyclone one mile from M. R. Russell’s, and carried to a house, and a mes senger sent to notify her family. Bhe is all right torday, and talks freely, but has a very wild look. Mr. Russell's loss is great. Thu damage in this county cannot be es tiiintfvd at this writing. North, east and M'cst of Carrollton was visited M ith the most severe hailstorm ever known in this county, so our oldest citizens say. On several farms there is not a stalk of cotton left or a blade of corn. Wheat and oats were destroyed completely. From Mr. Russell’s the next damage by the cyclone was at N. SV. Rood’s place, two miles west of Carrollton. His out buildings M’ere bloMii down. Here it changed its course and went south, striking Mrs. Hay’s mill and tearing it all to pieces. Her loss is considerable. Dr. R. C. McDaniel Mas the next sufferer, losing all his outbuildings. It is marvelous how the dwellings stood M’hile the barns and outbuildings M’ere swept away, but there is yet a greater marvel. Dr. William Gan ding suffered next, losing his barn. It is useless to say that the fencing all along the route M as blown doM'n, together with all the timber. J. M. Frickett’s was the next place visited. His dM-eliing and all buildings Mere carried aM-ay. Mr. Prickett is badly bruised up, but not seriously. He lost all be had. In one of his tenant houses there was a family of negroes, and one of the children M'as blown 200 yards and lodged in a swamp, while the mother held two of the children in her arms. She says when the house left it was first raised up from the flooring and she and the children in her arms fell off the floor onto the ground, and remained there until the storm M-as over. John Mulleiux lost his shoe shop and the chimneys to his dwelling. Green Crider, three-quarters of a mile south of Carrollton, lost his barn and chim ney to his dwelling, his stock in the barn escaping when the barn was lifted up. The next and most serious loss in the suburbs of Carrollton wa< J. C. Benson. His large dwelling was completely destroyed, not a single piece of timber M’as left stand ing. Mr. Benson M-as in the house at the time, together with his daughter, Mrs. John Laidler and her three children. They all escaped, which Mas a miracle. Mr. Benson is hurt very badly, but it is hoped not seri ously. He says a bed saved his life. Mrs. I Adler and children are bruised consider ably. Here the cyclone visited the colored people again, completely blowing away the houses of Dave Pink ard and George Bogy ess, the families escaping without serious injuries. Jake Benson (colored) lost the chimney and half of his house. Rev. H. Mullins (colored) lost top of his house and chimneys. This Mas all in three-quarters of a mile of town. Dave P. Powers’ place, one mile ease of Carrollton, mos baalv damaged, all his timlver in the storm’s course being destroyed. The track of the cyclone Mas about one mile wide all along its course. J. M. Orietree Mas a great sufferer, losing his outbuildings. J. D. Hilton lost all his buildings, including his duelling. The storm continued its rapid course in a ijorth east direction, but your correspondent lias no knowledge of the damage further except from hearsay. Bed clothing could be found mixed M-ith timber along this route. Your correspondent was within 200 yards of the edge of the cyclone,and it was the most frightful sight ever seen. The noise accom panying it Mas equal to 190 steam engines. Its appearance cannot be fitly described. The cloud mos a deep green color until it was covered by smoke, M'kieh looked like a burning volcano. Our merchants all closed their houses to-day and formed relief committees, and went out, on the line reliev ing the sufferings of the people as best they dbuld, and eveiytiody helped put up fences. Lawyers, doctors and preachers joined in and helped build shelter placed and fences. “The half has not yet been told,” but the facts as seen by your reporter have been given. NIP AND TUCK AT NEW ORLEANS. The Pelicans Win Another Game After a Hard Fight. New Orleans, June 4. —To-day’s game was peculiar in many respects. Doylp pitched for Memphis, and M-as only hit hard in two i inn rigs, the fifth and ninth. In each of the proceeding innings Memphis got a big lead, and when the locals came to the bat they slugged themselves ahead again. McKeough played short and Baker third for Memphis, anil Peltz did fine M-ork. Phelan hurt his finger towards the end of the game try ing to stop a terrific high liner. Somers pitched another game for Orleans and was well supported. The game was nip anil tuck all the way through and was not won until the last, man was put out in the last inning. Memphis needed two to t ie. Phelan scored on errors and Andrews hit safe and reached second on a passed ball and tried to score. Peltz hit a single to left, but was retired by Campnu’s fine throw to the plate. Memphis did most of its hitting to right, nnd Andrews and Black male home runs in that direction. Powell caught six flies. Bused was called to Mem phis to-day, and Andrews, although sick, played and captained. Memphis leaves in the morning for Birmingham. Nashville arrived anil will play to-morroM'. Maul and Ewing will pitch. Bkinner tunpii'ed bally to-day, and mostly against New Or leans.

Died, in Savannah, on Friday morning, May 13th, 1887. Mrs. Harriet Thomson, widow of the late David Thomson. Born in 1815 and descend ed from the best stock of the early settlers of this country, Mrs. Thomson was in many re spects a most notable woman. Haughty and dignified, yet gentle and amiable, she combined those traits of character that serve to make the noble, queenly woman. It seeuis to have been a misfortune that such a life, such a noble char acter, should have been confined within the nar row scope that bound her limited acquaintance. Her kind solicitude in behalf of others was one of the distinguishing traits of her life. This was so fully shown by her submitting to a pain ful surgical operation in the hope that it would relieve her friends and relatives of the care and trouble that might ensue should her dread dis ease go oil to its end unchecked. One of the earliest members of St. John's Parish, long before the present church was built, as bride and sponsor sue has stood before the chancel, living to see "her boys" bring their children to the‘dear old church and kneel with them there at God's altar, and as the last act of her Christian life to stand as s]x>nsor at the bap tism of "little Bessie" her great-grandchild. As a Christian her light shone brightly, and her good works stand as a monument in the. memo ry of those who survive her. With true Christian fortitude she bore all the pain and wearisome confinement of her last ill ness, no murmur of impatience, no word of complaint escaped her lips. With true, woman ly, noble affection and untiring energy she per formed all the duties of life, and now that her useful life is ended, we have her bright example to cherish and imitate, and we pray that God, our Heavenly Father, may make her "to be numbered with His saints in glory everlasting." "Rock of Ages, cleft for me,” Sung above a coffin lid; Underneath, all peacefully, Ail life’s joys and sorrows hid; Nevermore, O storm-tossed soul. Nevermore from wind or tide, Nevermore from billows’ roll. Wilt thou need thyself to hide! Could the sightless, sunken eyes. Closed beneath the soft gray hair, Could the mute and stiffened lips Move again in pleading prayer, . Still, aye still the words would be, "Let me hide myself in Thee.” “Hendry.” MEETINGS.
