M STEAMER_TO TYBKE.
OPENING OF THE RAILROAD DE
LAYED BY THE RAINS.
•The Directors Anxious to Accommo
date the Public and Will Establish a
Temporary Steamboat Line The
Work on the Road Being Pushed as
Fast as It Can Bo -The Ocean House
Open.
The unlocked for delays in opening the
Tybee rnilrod have tioeu a source of great
iteapimintment. uot only to tlio public but
to the management as well. The Board of
Directors made a trip to the island yester
day by the steamer Pope Catlin for the pur
pose ot asca. taining tlio practicability of
establishing temporary means of communi
cation between the city and the island for
the accommodation of those who are anx
iously waiting an opportunity to enjoy the
delightful sea bathing at that favorite re
sort The party landed at the wharf and
went by train to the Ocean House. The old
wharf was found to lie in good condition
and the railroad tracks on the island in
splendid order.
The management, however, was not desi
rous of establishing a steamer line, in view
of the fact that, with fair weather, the rail
road will be in good running order w ithin
a week, hut the urgent solicitations of those
who are interested in the island, and a desire
to accede to the demands ot the public, par
tially determined them hi charter a steamer
to run between the city and Tybee for the
next week, and if suitable arrangement can
be made this temporary route will be
opened to-morrow.
While at Tybee the visitors inspected the
Ocean House, and took supper with Mr.
Hodges, the proprietor. The hotel is hand
somely fitted up throughout with new fur
niture, and there is a general look of thrift
about it that will be pleasant to its guests.
The culinary department has Iks mi enlarged
to double its former capacity, and the latest
kitchen improvements put in. Those who
visit Tybee this season will lie delighted at
the changes that have been made. Mr. John
Wright's house, formerly McVeigh’s, has
also been refurnished, and is ready for
guests
People who have not been to Tybee since
the advent of the railroad, will be surprised
at the changes which have lieen made on
the island. Besides the railroad trneks, turn
outs and switches, which give it a city-like
appearance, the sandhills have been out
away from the side of the road and around
the hotel, the undergrowth has liocii clean'd
away, and ditches have been opened through
the low lauds in the rear of the beach set
tlement. It is hoped that the management
will decide to establish the temporary
route mentioned so os to bridge over to a
certain extent the few remaining days
before the locomotive will take the thou
sands who are anxiously waiting to visit
Savannah’s seaside resort. In another week
“those who go down to the sea,” not in
ships, but in a handsomely furnished ear,
will find that u well-built railroad has lieen
constructed through the marshes which in
tervene between the city and the ocean, and
well kept liostolrios provided for their enter
taininent at Tybee.
THROUGH THE CITY.
Items Gathered Here and There by the
News Reportera.
The Forest City Vocal Club, J. A. Sykes,
manager, serenaded the Morning News
last night.
The Morning News’ Early Fruit Bureau
is indebted to Messrs. Warnock & Williams
for a double barrelled watermelon. It is
two melons joined together near the stem.
There were f,hiss' arrests for dis rderly
conduct, and George Parker and William
Anderson, two negro boys, were taken in

The Savannah police and detectives have
received printed descriptions and offers of a
reward of 1,000 florins for the arrest of
Zaleski Philemon, an Austrian post clerk,
who embezzled twenty letters from the Aus
trian mails, valued at over, 150,(XX) florins,
late in May.
The cotton press that was sold a short
time ago by the Tyler Press Gunimny has
been removed to Alliany, and the chief
engineer of the company and Mr. Merrick
have gone to Albany to superintend its erec
tion. It will is- put up in time for use when
the new crop begins to come in.
President Cleveland's letter withdrawing
his acceptance of the invitation extended
him to visit- Bt. Louis during tlio national
encampment of tin- Grand Army of tlm Re
public in September, because of the feeling
that lius developed among a portion of the
organization, is generally indorsed by the
members of the post in this city.
The Savannah Odd Fellows lodges have
about completed the organisation of an
“Odd Follows’ Labor Bureau.” Commit
tee* have been appointed from all the lodges,
except one, to perfect the organization. It
will be on a similar plan to that of the
Brooklyn (N. Y.) bureau. A record of Odd
Fellows desiring employment am! those who
desire to employ, will be kept in fhe library,
m that, when a member of the order is out
of employment lie may call upon the libra
rian and obtain a list of employ (ms who are
in neqd, perhaps, of just such help as ho may
be able to render. Employers will have tlio
same advantages.
THE FORDS’ SUCCESS.
Their Fourth Performance of “Pink
Dominoes” Last Night.
Tho Fonts played “Pink Dominoes” be
luro a tioo audience last night for tho lieneflt
of the Episcopal Orphans' Home building
fund. It was the fourth time that tho
piece has been played here by the Fords this
season, but it took even better than it did
the first time. The sale of tickets was much
larger than the audieuee, and the manage
ment netted a neat sum. The east of the
piece was the same as at former
presentations. I Firry Doyle as
“Uncle Joskin” is the principal character,
ami he made the most of the part. lie was
admirably supported. Messrs. Ilanloy ami
McCabe, Joe Doyle and Fleming were each
loudly applauded. Mioses Baker and
Mneder and Miss White and Miss Farrar
constituted the remainder of the east.
Tho audience was in good humor, anil It
laughed and applauded bv turns, it may
lie said that “rink Dominoes” was never
played better in Savannah than it was last
night. The Fords’ next play will be “Sara
toga. '

IAUMAK PLOWERa.
1 NEW GUN CLUB ORGANIZED.
I Clay Pigoori Shooting One of the
Popular Sports of the Day.
Clay pigeon shooting is rapidly becoming
j one of tlio most popular sports in the coun
try Not loss than 50,000 clay pigeons were
used by tlio gun chilis of Savannah last
•season. This gives something of an idea
how tlio sjKirt is patronized.
There are now three gun clubs in the city.
The Chathams and Forest City* were or
ganized three years ago. The LeFever Gun
Club, which makes the third, has just been
organized. Its officers are:
President Janies 11. Hunter.
Vice President—T. B. Thompson.
Secretary and Treasurer —George 8. Mo
Alp ill.
The club is organized chiefly from the
membership of the other two clubs, and is
named after the inventor of the LeFever
gun, which the club uses altogether. Several
months ago Mr. A. G. Courtney, who is one
of the liest gun experts in the country,
came to Savannah, and while here ex
hibited a IX'Fever gun. Tho members of
both the Chatham and Forest City clubs
wore at once taken with it, and it has been
generally adopted. So well were the mem
bers of the new club pleased that
they named the club LeFever, after the in
ventor of the gun. The club starts off with
twelve members and nearly every one of
them is a crack shot. Under the rules of
t he National Gun Association it cannot com
pete with tlio other clubs Until it lias been
organized thirty days. Challenges will bo
sent to both the Forest, City and Chatham
clubs next week and the first match will be
shot in August. The club’s practice duy
will be Tuesdays. The Chathams shoot on
Wednesdays, and tho Forest Citys on Thurs
days.
THF HICE CROP OUTLOOK.
The Acreage Much Lees Than Last
Year Effect of the Rains.
So ijjir as the present season has progressed
it has been anything but favorable to tho
rice crop, and the indications are that the
yield will lie by no means so great as that
of lust year. A number of planters have
net taken interest in the crops this year,
and have allowed their land to lie idle.
Along the river there are 2,250 acres that
were cultivated last year that were not
planted this year, and this w ill cut quite a
large figure m the aggregate yield. The
cold spring kept, hack the early rice, and it
will be from nine to twelve days late, but
it has not yet been injured.
The rain of the last week will play sad
havoc with the young rice unless clear
weather continues, for the grass is growing
in the fields and it is impossible to get it out
while the rain lasts. Some of the planters
cleared their fields before the rains set in,
hut most of the plantations need attention,
which must he given them six in or the grass
will choke the rice. The clearness of the
weather yesterday gave rise to the hope
that it will continue, and if it does the crops
will not be injured, for there is sufficient la
I sir to weed out all the fields os soon as they
can bo reached.
THE MOSQUITO CLUB.
To Start To-day on its Third Annual
Cruise.
The Mosquito Club will start to-day on its
annual cruise, on the pilot boat Mary Odell.
Several members who are unable to leave
to-day will join the club at Tybee on Mon
day. The I mat’s stores wero put on board
Inst night, and with her handsome new
burgee and pennant floating tho Odell
dropped down to her anchorage. To-day
and tomorrow will lie spent at Tyiiee, and
Monday morning the cruise will begin.
After a day on the snapper lmnks the club
will go to Charleston, stopping a day at the
banks on their return and then at Dau
fuskie, making altogether about a ten days’
cruise. The members of the club are W. J.
Thompson, E. C. McKay, VV. C. Pead, L.
Pead. Jamos Gross, J. T. Shuptrine, Harry
Sutcliffe, C. D. Russell, J. W. Fretwnll and
Frank George. Tho club was organized
three years ago, and this is its third an
nual cruise.
AN ERROR CORRECTED,
But It Was Not Made by the Reporter.
Office Birmingham and Atlantic
Am Line Railroad Company, Savan
nah, Oa., July &—Editor Morning News:
Permit me to correct an error which 1 made
on yesterday in my remarks liefore tho
Board of Trade in regard to the advantages
to lie derived by Savannah from the con
struction of the Birmingham and Atlantic
Air Une railroad in the item of freight
charges.
The line of this road from hero to 51ncon
IK-ing tweiitv-si ■, miles shortorthan the Cen
tral will, I should have said, if it charges
the maximum rates allowed by tile State
Railroad Commission, diminish Savannah
freight charges Bi 1-2 per cent.. Between
Savannah anil Amerieus it will diminish
the freight charges 23 2-3 per cent., and be
tween Savannah and Birmingham, with its
immense business, tho rood will bo com
pelled, by State laws, to charge by the mile
fixed rates, which will diminish the freight
charges over 1H isu- rent. Altogether, a
saving to Savannah alone, of an immense
sum of money per annum.

All Want to Sell.
A Cleveland club agent who was in the
towns of the Southern League last week
looking for players, and ready to purchase
if desirable ones could be found, returned
two days ago. He says that the Southern
Longue cannot live a month longer, that the
players are all wild to get away, and that
some of the clubs treat their men so badly
t lmt the Southern League should never again
lie granted protection under the national
agreement. Men are fined for the purpose
of curtailing expenses, and no club
outside of New Orleans is making
money. All are hanging on to sell their
players at fabulous prices. There on* some
good ition in the dubs. There are Smith,
Campau, Cartwright, Andrews, Firle,
Hogan, Bradley, Jack Hayes, Nicholas,
Powell, and a few others. But these are not
prizes by any means, and the release of not
one of the men named can be bought for less
than ?1,000. Maul's sale by Nashville to
Philadelphia for 82,000 set the clubs crazy,
and every one of them have Mauls, or claim
to have. It is very doubtful if the South
ern League will ever have protection under
the national agreement again.
OVER IN CHARLESTON.
What 13 Going on in South Carolina’s
Metropolis.
The Charleston year book for 1886 is out.
It contains a complete history of the South
Carolina earthquakes.
An anti-treating society has lieen partially
organized in Charleston. The members will
sign no pledge except one not to “set ’em
up,” and not to accept an invitation to
drink in a barroom at anybody’s expense
—not even ut the expense of “t he house.”
A Chnrlesftm truck grower said a day or
two ago that he thought tile Charleston
fanners as a whole have good reason to feel
satisfied with the results of the past season,
because they have not only done better than
hist year, but have lieen more fortunate
with their crops than their competitors from
Florida to Now York. Tlio season was very
unfavorable for truck raising all over the
country, but Charleston seemed to have
suffered much less than other places in this
respect.
The publication* of the Rev. Messrs.
Heard and Sinclair regarding discrimina
tions shown in Georgia agaiust “liisLolass"
colored passengers seem to liuve interested
the Charleston colored people. The News
and Courier says fishermen do not make
very extended excursions anywhere except
over the briny, and they are said to go fur
ther out on that element in their frail boats
than any local fishermen along the coast.
Five fishermen were seated on tiie railing of
the fish basin at. the Mount Pleasant ferry
wharf a day or two ago discussing the rail
road question. Tho chief spokesman, an
old salt of probablv thirty years’ standing,
impressed upon the crowd thatAhe South
Carolina railway would sol! anyone of tlipni
a first-clues ticket to New York, and that
they would not lie I'orre-d into any Jim Crow
car on the whole route. The gist of tho
conversation was that South Carolina guvo
the negro a better showing than Georgia.
The Whitlock House.
Attention is invited to the card of Mr. M.
G. Whitlock, advertising his admirable
family hotel, which appears in another col
umn. This gentleman, starting from a very
small lieginning, has lieen forced by tho
pressure "f increasing patronage to krep on
enlarging, until now his erstwhile modest
boarding house has assumed the projiortiims
of a commodious and elegant hotel. Indeed,
in every essential, such as airy, well-fur
nished rooms, comfortable beds, t he choicest
table fare, attentive servants, and genteel
asw vmtions, it is the peer of any similar es
tahlishmcnt in the South. Moreover, the
climate of Marietta is noted for its salubrity
und is equally delightful both in summer
and winter. As an evidence of this Mr.
Whitlock was crowded to overflowing with
guests all of last winter, and many could
not I*' provided for. IBs house is sur
rounded by pleasant well-shaded grounds,
and affords Just, the home one desires where
from ill health or any other cause he may be
banished from his own. The writer has
partaken of hospitality time und nguin, and

SENT UP FOR TEN YEARS.
STEWART AND EMORY GIVEN THE
LAW’S FULL LIMIT.
Both Convicted of Aseault With Intent
to Murder—A Hardened Criminal’s
Appearanco in the Dock—The Crimea
for Which They Are to Serve the
State for the Next Decade—One of
the Felons Makes a Second Assault
Upon His Victim and Creates a Sen
sation in Court.
One of the most brutal and hardened
criminals that evor sat in the dock was con
victed in the Superior Court yesterday of
assault with intent to murder. He was a
negro named William Stewart, and he was
found guilty of cutting Edward Wheeler,
likewise a negro. The crime was committed
in the house of Rosa Porter in South Broad
street lane, between Montgomery and Jef
ferson streets, on the night of April 27.
Stewart had been visiting the woman for
some time and was well known around the
place. On the night mentioned Wheeler
called at the house and was sitting in the
parlor when someone rushed in, overturned
the lamp and stabbed him. Tho only point
to bo proved was that of identity, and it
was settled to the satisfaction of the jury.
Rosa Porter testified tiiat she did not
know who did the stabbing, but a number
of the neighbors svvor that on the morn
ing after the assault she said that Stewart
had done it. Stewart was found guilty and
sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the
penitentiary. While lie was in the dock he
was laughing as if he was waiting for a
circus procession to pass by. When sentence
was passed he thanked Judge Adams, and
with a dirty cotton handkerchief in his
hand, waved him adieu.
A HARDENED CRIMINAL.
He was taken to the prisoners’ room, and
a few minutes later a noise that came from
that quarter drew a number of people in
haste from the court room. The door of
the room was open, and Stewart was
sitting in there laughing as heartily
as if ho had plaved a good
joke. He had lieen standing just outside
the door where Wheeler could see him. Not
having any overabundance of love for
Wheeler, Stewart desired to do something
to show his victim how lie was regarded, so
ho took from the Sheriff’s desk a heavy
glass inkstand and hurled it at Wheeler
with all his might. It missed its mark, but
it scared Wheeler enough to satisfy Stewart
and he enjoyed it immensely. In order to
prevent this jocular criminal from doing
further damage his hands were manacled
behind his back.
A BRUTAL AND BLOODY DEED.
William Emory, a mulatto, was tried for
a brutal and bloody assault on his wife and
child. He had uot lived happily with his
his wife and she announced her intentions of
leaving him. He plead with her not to go,
hut she refused to live any longer with him.
He then asked her to leavo him his chilli,
tint that also she refused to do. She left the
houso April 2S), but did not intend to leave
it permanently then. She returned at 1
o’clock at night and found him awaiting her.
He renewed liis entreaties, but she was ob
durate, and finally he seized an ax and
struck both his wife ami child several times
each. They recovered, but their
cure was almost miraculous, for
they were badly cut. Emory went
to the police barracks, and gave himself up,
stating at the time that he had murdered
his wife and child, and was ready to suffer
for it.
THE PRISONER’S DEFENSE.
The defense was that he committed
the act while he was in so terrible a passion
that he could not control himself, and that
there was neither deliberation nor malice,
but the jury did not take that view of the
case, and a verdict of guilty was found.
11l passing sentence Judge Adams said
that a distinguished Judge, when ask'd for
mercy, replied: “I must have mercy on so
ciety.” lie was sorry for the prisoner, for
the evidence showed that he was an indus
trious man and has hitherto borne a good
reputation, but society must be protected,
ami the object of the criminal law was to
govern those who could not control them
selves. He sentenced Emory to ten years
in the penitentiary. During the trial
Emory’s wife, who refused to prosecute, sat
by him, but she retired to tho lobby when
the jury went out, and when sentence was
pronounced her sobseould be heard through
out tlio court room.

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The land grant of the Atlantic and Pa
cific aggregates about 10,000,000 acres. Of
these 1,403,845 acres have been sold and 5,
319,005 placed in the hands of trustees.
The Order of Railway Conductor* will
run a big excursion to Charleston this
month. This excursion will lie run in three
divisions—one from Columbia, one from
Camden and one from Augusta and points
along the line of the road. The Camden ex
cursion will lie in charge of Capt. George
H. Cleary, the Columbia divisiou in charge
of Capt. W. I. Cormier and the Augusta
division in charge of Capt. J. P. Roche.
The whole affair will he under the manage
ment of Capt. W. A. Bradley, who, together
with his assistants, intends that every ac
commodation will lie shown to all who de
sire to visit Charleston on this occasion.
The excursion on July 18 will lie followed
by other excursions for the benefit of the or
der on the next day from Florence and
points along tho line of the Northeastern
railway, and from Savannah and points
along tlie line of the Charleston and Savan
nah railway. Capts. Blanchard, Fitzgerald,
Sla wson and Harris will have the Savannah
excursionists in their tender keeping, and
the faithful men who conduct the trains on
the Northeastern road will see to it that the
passengers by that line are well taken care of.
THE HURRICANE SEASON.
The Characteristics of Tropical Cy
clones and How They Develop.
The /-‘Hot Chart for July, issued by the
Hydrographic Office, says, relative to the
West India hurricanes: As tho time is rap
idly approaching when the tropical cyclones
may 1* expected and prepared for by the
navigator of the Southern and Western
Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of
Mexico, the tracks of several which have oe
curred early in the season in past years are
plotted oil this number of the Pilot Chart ,
and a brief outline is given as a practical
guide to the indication of their approach
and the best course for safety.
Briefly, such storms are generated in the
tropics, near the limits of the belt of equa
torial rains and calms, take up a slow, pro
gressive march to the westward (about sev
enteen miles an hour), curving away from
the equator toward the poles (slowing down
a little on the turn), and then to the east
ward with a higher velocity (about twenty
miles an hour), widening area and
slowly dying energy. In addition to
this comparatively slow progressive
movement along a curved track there
is a rotary motion around a calm spot
at the centre, left-handed, or against the
sun, in the northern hemisphere, and right
handed, or with the sun, in the southern.
These central rotary winds, with lightning,
heavy rain and violent squalls, are the ones
so dreaded, both at sea and on land. At the
centre there is a calm spot of from ten to
thirty miles diameter, often with blue sky
and a brief spell of pleasant weather, and
then the gale is felt again in seemingly re
doubled violence from the opposite point of
the compass.
As every cyclone is accompanied by an
anti-cyclone,"or region of high barometer,
so here the cyclone itself is surrounded by a
ring where the barometer is above the nor
mal, with fair, cool, dry weather and anti
cyclonic winds. But as the barometer rises
the wind becomes light and variable, or dies
away; the long, low swell of the ocean in
creases noticeably; the barometer begins to
fall, slowly at first, then more rapidly; the
air becomes less clear, light cirrus or cirro
stratus clouds appear and thicken gradually,
with halos around the sun and moon; the
atmosphere seems heavy, hot and moist;
dark re 1 and violet tints are seen at the rising
and setting of the sun, deepening in inten
sity day by day. Soon the cloud bank of
the hurricane appears like a distant moun
tain range on the horizon, the barometer
falls more rapidly, the wind freshens and
the first nimbus and cumulous clouds appeur,
with gusts, light rains and passing squalls.
The diameter of the area covered by such
a storm, including the anti cyclone ring,
may lie as great as 1.000 miles; of the storm
cloud area, about 500 miles, and of that of
the storm wind proper, about 300 miles. As
the storm advances in its course its dimen
sions increase and the attendant phenomena
are all less marked, until it gradually dissi
pates itself in the middle latitude of the tem
perate zone.
Another Salt Spring.
Messrs. T. G. Healy. & Cos. have recently
discovered a spring about 100 yards distant
from that of Marsh & Cos., which, it is
claimed, possesses all the curative proper
ties of the former, and indeed is identical
with it in every respect. They have gone
to work in earnest, blasting and tubing the
mck from whence the healing stream arises,
erecting refreshment stands, ten-pin alleys
bath rooms, etc., and enclosing the whole
under a spacious and ornamental pavilion,
which makes quite an imposing appearance.
In addition they have constructed a first
class street railway near two miles in length
from Austell, which runs constantly, and
carries visitors tor sc. to the vicinity of the
springs. The motive power of this road will
soon ue supplemented by steam. At present,
for lack of right of way. it stops short of the
spring about 300 yards, but the present l**g
i.duture has been petitioned to pass an act
affording the necessary relief in the premi
ses, and the work of improving the grounds
is going on rapidly Recently, at a public
sale, lots in the vicinity commanded high
prices, and another auction is to come off in
a few days. Indeed, so popular are the
waters of both these salt springs, that flour
ishing villages will soon grow up all around
them.
The Sait Springs Hotel, situated at the
depot, is run in connection with the new
spring, the proprietor, Mr. S. B. Thompson,
being a member of the firm of Healy &
Cos., and part owner of the street railroad.
If it be true that “competition is the life of
trndo,” both of these healing founts will soon
be widely known and generously patronised.
The Salt Springs Hotel enjoys a good repu
tation from those who have stopped there.

fool like a fish out of water. Just think, I
have received an immense stock of solid
silver ware, and have no room to show it,
consequently I have to make room. But
howl By wiling it as quickly as possible,
to accomplish it, I have put tin* prices down
to almost cost. Hence nnvbody in need or
not in need of such goods have an opportu
