11 LINKED WITH THE SEA. THE LAST SPIKE DRIVEN ON THE TYBEE ROAD. Trains to Begin Running on Saturday --A Trip to Ocean City- Scenery Along the Route Deptford and Fort Bartow Stations Pleasure Grounds Within the Fortifications at Causton’s Bluff. The last spike on the Savannah and Tvbee railroad was driven yesterday. Construc tion trains will nut through to the island to morrow, and on Satui'dny the road will be opened for travel. Contractor McLain is working four trains and a force of upwards of 400 men. The last train load of rails was carried over the voad on Friday and the track laying was finished last night. All that remains now is to “surface” the road, which will require several weeks and to extend the western terminus from the Savannah, Florida and Western junc tion to the company’s depot grounds on Randolph street. For the present, however, trains will be run into the Savannah, Florida and Western yards, stopping at the east platform of the depot. THROUGH TO TVBEK. Everybody has tieen anxious to know when the road will be opened. The state ment was made some time ago that trains would be running £n June tin. Capt. Purse, who went over the eastern end of the road yesterday,with several of the directors, said upon his return last night that unless some thing unforseen occurs everything will lie in readiness to start out the fii-st train on Saturday morning. The schedule will be made up and pub lished in a day or two. At first only three regular train's will lie run daily, and an extra on Sundays, making three round trips on week days and four on Sundays. The principal stations after leaving Savannah will be Deptford, Fort Bartow, King’s land ing and Ocean City. Seven handsome coaches are standing in the Savannah, Florida and Western yards ready to lie made up, and on Saturday they will make their first trip to the sea. A TRIP OVER THE ROAD. A Morning News representative went over the line yesterday with President Purse as far as Lazaretto creek. Less than a year ago ground was broken for the road, and the first shovelful of earth was thrown on Deptford plantation. Active work was at once commenced. It was expected that the road would be ready for operation April 1, but unavoidable delays occurred, necessita ting a postponement, of the opening until everything is in shape. All that, now remains to be done to link Savannah to the seashore is the finishing of Lazaretto creek draw bridge. That will be done by to morrow noon, and construction trains will then run through to the eastern terminus of the road. There -null be no l oad in the country more delightful to trav el over. For the greater part of the dis tance the river is in immediate view, and after passing Causton's bluff, the route is open to the free sweep of the breezes from Xthe ocean for ten miles. *• ALONG THE ROUTE. * The country through which the road runs is not only beautifully picturesque, but it has many points of ’ historic interest. The spacious" grounds of Twickenham, Bruton Hill, Deptford, Causton’s Bluff and Mackey Point plantations present, conspicuous at tractions. This is particularly the case with that portion of Deptford through which the l oad runs. A carnage drive through Twickenham to Bruton Hill along the bluff and across the plateau to Deptford affording a magnificent view of the city is one of the prettiest drives around Savannah. The magnificent oaks at Deptford rival those of Bonaventure, and the view of the river und the long stretch of country from the bluff overlooking the city is unsurpassed. The vast plateau covering thousands of acres is a beautiful site for a future suburb of Savannah. Across this plateau the railroad runs. The first station ou>t of the city will be Deptford. TTNDER FORT BARTOW’S WALLS. Causton’s Bluff and Fort Bartow consti. tute the most conspicuous and interesting point on the line, and few prettier or more romantic spots can be found anywhere. The station will be Fort Bartow. The road runs underneath the huge earthworks and fortifications built in 18(32 by the Confeder ate forces to prevent the advance of the Federal gunboats up the river. The fortifi cations are still intact. Inside the huge em bankments is a plateau of 100 acres, covered with beautiful groves affording room for twenty picnic parties without one knowing that the other is there. The fort will be made the company's pleasure grounds. The depot will be on the north side of tho earthworks overlooking the Savannah and Wilmington rivers and affording an unob structed view of the islands clear to Tybee. The company has already sunk an artesian well to supply its engines, and the water ■will be carried up into the fort and dis tributed in the groves. Fort Bartow, when it has been developed, will be one of the most attractive spots in near reach of the city, The bluff itself is full of historic interest. ACROSS THE MARSHES. After leaving Fort Bartow the road makes a graceful detour and at the end of >fae curve strikes Wilmington river, spanned toy K substantially constructed iron draw bridge, 200 feet long, having two openings 82 feet each. From this point on the island passengers not only have the invigorating influence of the ocean breeze, but an unin terrupted view of the broad expanse of water nearly to the sea buoy. Three trains and a force of ovor :100 hands are at work on the cut through which the road passes out over the long stretch of islands. The rest of the trip was by raff. The line running along McQueen’s mai-sh, south of the south channel of the river, with tit. Augustine creek and Tybee river on the south, commands a full view of Warsaw Sound. The scenery between St. Augustine and lazaretto creeks, a distance ot eight, and one-third miles, is kaleidoscopic in charac ter, the glistening waters of the Savannah river, St. Augustine creek and Tybee river on either side. ALONG THE SAND HILLS. After crossing Lazaretto creek, at King's landing tho road continues on a circuit in the rear of the front hills of the liem-h and thence around tho island, passing through Ocean City and direct to the south cm* where a magnificent view presents itself. The south end, where the railroad has Its terminus on the island, is one of the most charming spots imaginable, and will be the site of the second and large hotel. A num ber of handsome cottages will be erected at this point in vicinity of the hotel, and facilities will he provided for those who pre fer river bathing to buffeting the vigorous surf. OBSTACLES DONE AWAY WITH. The impossibilities which stood in the way of the road buve boen overcome, and the enterprise tor which there were few people who did not predict failure has been ac complished. It was said that a railrod could not be built through the low marshes except on piles. It has been built, and in the ordinary way. Tho doubt which existed in the minds of many as to the road living really built now must vanish when trains liegin running. It is not an enterprise, it is true, that has carriefi itself; it is only through constant pushing and under sys tematic management that it lias been ac complished. President Purse has given his personal at tention to the work. The enterprise wus bis conception, and it is through his energetic efforts. backed by a few of his friends, that the road has been buiit. He lielieved from the start that it was not only practicable and feasible, but that it ixuild be constructed at a cost not greater than tliat of the average railroad. THE FORMAL OPENING. Although the road will be put in operation this week it will not be turned over to the company by the contractors until it is In every way complete, and has been fully tested. This will probably not be until fall, when tbu formal opening will take place. The work at. Tybee is progressing rapidly, and everything will be in readiness by Sat urday. The hotel will be ready for tne re ception of guests next week, and by July 1 the season will be fully open. A REGULAR SCORCHER. The Intense Heat of Yesterday and How People Tried to Avoid it. Old Sol was evidently having another con test with the wind or some other such indi vidual yesterday, and it was equally evident that it was Sol’s inniqg, for he was doing some pretty effectual work, and though there were no cloaks to be shed bv the way farer, many a coat was laid aside and ap pearances forsaken in a vain chase for com fort. It was too hot to work. Of that there was not the shadow of a doubt, and those upon whom it was forced felt that the dignity of labor would melt in sympathy with collars and cuffs unless work was stopped. The George-McGlynn theory won many a con vert, for tho tired and weary laborer, thinking how delightful it would be to sit under the shade of one of the trees that doubtless grows on the land that would be apportioned to him, while an unearned increment was paying for ice-cold lemonade at 15c. a glass, men tally resolved to aid these philanthropists in their scheme of division. During the early part of the afternoon the heat was intense and the atmosphere sti H ing. Those who were uufortunate enough to lie on the street felt it at its worst, for they were attacked from every direction. Overhead, the sun was beating down with an intensity that is pleasanter to write about than feel; the pavements were charged with heat as is a battery with electricity and they radiated it with the utmost freedom and generosity; the very winds that blew were not and dry and though they fanned one’s face they tailed to refresh. Umbrellas were brought into plentiful use, but soon found to be worthless as a protection against heat, for while they kept off the sun to a certain extent they caught and held in their domes the heat reflected from below and kept tho head in a reservoir of of hot air. Every attempt to keep cool was a failure, and the only thing left to do was to wish with Canon Kingsley that you could take off your flesh and sit in your bones. Bull street was deserted. Rare were the red parasols and white dresses that flitted up that favorite thoroughfare yesterday afternoon. Such was in fact the condition of the population of Savannah on the hottest day of the season, for such was yesterday. Th’** thermometer rose one-tenth of a degree higher than it has been this year, but the physical thermometer went higher than that for the day was close and very oppressive and much more unbearable than the hot spell of ten days ago. The highest yesterday was 1*7.1% which was reached be tween 2 and 8 o’clock. The mean tempera ture of the day was 84.3. The heat seems to have settled in spots throughout this sec tion of the country, for in Pensacola the highest was only 89% and at Jacksonville and Charleston only 1*2% but Augusta took the lead of all the South by scoring 102°. The indications at midnight did not give much promise of cooler weather, for a care ful scrutiny of the bulletins discovered no cold waves approaching, nor even any cold areas wandering around in this section of the country. THE JUDICIAL GRIND. A Mistrial in the Patterson Case- More Time Allowed in the Fogarty Case. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning the jury that had spent nearly twenty-four hours in discussing the evidence submitted in the Patterson divorce case sent word to Judge Adams that there was no probabilty of their agreeing, so they were called in the court room and the foreman announced a hung jury. It is understood that five were in favor of granting Patterson a divorce while seven were opposed to It, but not one would vote to gi ant a divorce to Mrs. Patterson. After the mistrial had been announced Mr. Smith presented a petition in behalf of Patterson, asking that the order requiring Mm to pay temporary alimony, be modified and that he tie released from jail. The petition set forth that Patterson has no employment and is utterly unable to ]>ay tho nlimouy, and also that he has been so sick that lie has been confined to his lied. Judge Adams released him on his own parole until Saturday, when the argument on tho petition will be heard. COURT HOUSE NOTES. To-morrow will lie return day for the July term in tho City Court. Judge Adams overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of Macullar, Parker & Cos. vs. M. Levy and S. Sternberg. Articles of incorporation were issued to the Catholic Library Association. Arguments were heard on the motion for an Injunction and to restrain proceedings in certain cases now pending in tne City Court, in the case of W. H. Ferguson vs. the Sa vannah, Dublin and 'Western Railroad Com pany. The decision was reserved. The Fogarty <-se was called up ill tho Superior Court, but the plaintiff introduced additional grounds for anew trial and ad ditional affidavits, which the State was not ready to meet, so the Solicitor General asked for time and the court granted him uutil Saturday next. FOEDS IN "PINK DOMINOES.” Their Great Success of Last Season in the Place of “Miss Chester.” The management of the Ford Dramatic Association decided last night after a re hearsal of “Miss Chester," tho play an nounced for this week, to postpone its pro duction until later in the season and to sub stitute “Pink Dominoes," one of the most successful plays the Fords have ever pro duced. The change in plays necessitates a change in dates, and the performances will be given on Wednesday and Thdrsday nights, with a Thuisiday matinee, instead of on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with a Wednesday matinee Tho management has been urged by its friends to reproduce “Pink Dominoes," and it will do so this week.

They Defeat the New Savannah Club 24 to 1. The Amateurs came within one of shut ting out the Savannahs yesterday. The game was well played by the winners, but the losers played about as poor a game as they well could. It was not a very encouraging start-off for the new team. The Amateurs batted hard and fielded admirably, making only 3 errors, aud piling up 17 base hits against 19 errors and only 4 hits by the Savannahs. Mercer pitched for the winning team and was very effective, striking put seven men. Lillenthftl and O’Connor did the pitching for the Savannahs. The crowd was not large,but it enjoyed the game. The Union Cornet Band gave a concert at the grounds and attracted a good many people. The score was: AMATEURS. A.B. R. 18. P.O. A. E.

A RICE CORNER WORKING A NEW YORK FIRM BUYING UP THE SOUTHERN STOCKS. The Bearish Attitude of the "Journal of Commerce”—A Bull Firm’s Circular on the Subject High Grade Rice at Low Grade Prices Domestic Rice Selling Higher Than Foreign. Many of the prominent rice merchants in New York and the South have discovered what they consider an effort to bear aud corner rice. The last crop has been about used up and the stocks generally are small, and the new crop will not come in before the middle of September so the time is ripe for a comer, if any opearators desire to run one. For this reason the reports concerning the market have all been watched with in terest. The New York Journal of Com merce has contained some very bearish arti cles of late, and they have attracted so much attention that AA'est & Melchers, of New York, have issued the following circular which they have distributed extensively throughout the Southern markets: A FIAT CONTRADICTION. We beg to call your attention to tbe following article which appeared in the New York Journ al of Commerce ot June 15: “Rice—Domestic sorts, took a tumble to-day. and we quote the market at btt&Uc. off. Holders attribute the weakening to the influence of the foreign sorts which are now being received and sold at a great disparity in price. These may have con tributed incidentally but are not the real factors of weakness. The present condition of the market is due to the falling away of the de mand and the activity of the ‘restive weevil’ and “plodding worm.’ both here and at the South, The latter destructive elements tend to make outside holders quite thoughtful as to their possessions, lest they take to themselves wings or crawl away. Much of the stock held on speculation has iu it a 25 to 35 per cent, profit, and can therefore be sold at quite a re duction from tbe present quotations, and yet leave a ‘trifle to buy the child a frock.’ Coast markets are dull and stocks accumulating.” While we give our friends in the South credit for intelligence enough to know that the above is untrue in every particular, we would not feel justified in remaining silent while such a report war circulated broadcast in a paper of such prominence. Our market is firm, with light stocks and a good demand. All indications point to a higher plane of values in the near future. A LOCAL OPINION. Messrs. Harmon & Cope, of this city, were called upon yesterday, and were asked their views on the positions of the Journal of Commerce and Messrs. West <fe Melchers, and from them was learned something in connection with the movement that gave it the apiiearance of an effort to run a corner. These bearish articles have been appearing in the Journa I, of Commerce for several days, ar.d they have been followed by wholesale offers' of high grade rice at low grade prices by Talmage & Sons. If there has been a decline in New York, primary markets are not aware of it. and private information from that point indicates a firm market ana a strong demand, with a tendency toward higher prices. Regarding the “festive wee vil” it has not made its appearance in this market, for there are not 100 barrels of rice here t hat are more than thirty days old, and if the weather reports are correct the temperature in New York has not been high enough to start the “plodding worm” a plodding in the rice held there. The figures of the Board of Trade show that 2,168 barrels of clean rice have gone into consumption from Savannah since June 1, showing that there is a good demand for the article and a movement outward that will not admit of an accumulation of stocks. HOW THE CORNER IS WORKED. Messrs. Harmon &, Cope said that the bear movement was inspired by Talmage & Sons, who, after the bearish articles had been thoroughly circulated, began sending little sample’packages of high grade Patna rice to the rice buyers of the South, and offering to sell that foreign stock at 4c. to Patna rice of the quality of the samples costs 4)£o. in New York and 4%c. in Savannah; vet it was offered here at from to %c. below cost, presumably for the purpose of creating the impression that if this high grade could lie sold at such figures domestic rice must tie worth much less; but at the same time thev sent word to their broker here to buy all tile domestic rice he could at the market price, and Mr. Hannon said that he bought on Friday at l%c. He thought that there is no question about it that Talmage & Sons are playing for all the rice that re mains in the South, and that they are mak ing their bear statements public while they are quietly paying top prices for ail they can buy. A Captain’s Fortunate Discovery. Capt. Coleman, schooner Weymouth, ply ing between Atlantic City and New York, had iieen troubled with a cough so that he was unable to sleep, and was induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. It not only gave him instant relief, but allayed the extreme soreness iri his breast. His children were similarly affected, and a single dose had the same happy effect. Dr. King's New Discovery is now the standard remedy in the Coleman househoki and on board the schooner. Free trial bottles of this Standard Reme dy at Lippman Bros.’ drag store. Of Vital Importance. The Medical Nerve of 11th inst. contains an article by H. A. Hare, M. D., University of Pennsylvania, on “The Influence of Bear on Salivary and Gastric Digestion,” giving tabulated results of practical exjieriments made with sixteen different beers. In this table the shown retardation of digestion varies from lm. 30*. to 1 hourssm. las., and the “Tannhaeuser” brand of the Bergner & Engel Brewing Company occupies the proud position of first place. In these days of in digestion and dyspepsia a man ought to lie careful what he drinks. We shall always have the above brand on draught at our new saloon and pool room, which we shall open at 170 Broughton street., on Saturday, 18th inst., at Op. m., and to which gland open ing our friends and the public are hereby respectfully invited.

The grain and stationery houses are about the only lines on the Bay keeping ojien on Saturday afternoons, and their employes would appreciate the half holiday fully as much as their fellow clerks in the grocery and other lines. I think those needing grain and feed would do their buy ing in the forenoon if they knew that it would give a half holiday to the clerks. Clerk. Renews Her Youth. Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay coun ty, lowa, tells the following remarkable story, the truth of which is vouched for by the residents of the town: “I am 73 years old. have been troubled with kidney com plaint and lameness for many years; could not dress invself without help.'
