8 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 for playing craps in the street, yesterday. 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.

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. ' STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. The Masts of tho Bark Ole Bull Shiv ered by tho Bolt.

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.

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. Jno. A. A. West, General Manager. RIVER AND HARBOR NEWS. Gleanings Among the Snloplng and Along the Wharves.

Ladies will be admitted to the game free. 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.

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. NOTES. Si Bosch, William McKenna, and John Monahan, pleaded guilty to keeping a gam bling house, but sentence was deferred. The Reilly insurance ease, that seems to be as endless as a circle, was up for a few hours yesterday. Local Personal. The veteran ex-railroader, Donald Mac donald.

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. For the Comfort of Stout Men.
