8 .WYERTING THE TRADE. & FLORIDA RAILROAD OPERATING IN BEHALF OF SAVANNAH. low an Advance In Bates Will Bring Florida Lumber to This Port- Fer nandlna and Jacksonville Vigorously Protecting—An Apparent Decrease In the Bulk of the Busineas Here Explained The Opinions of Seme Local Merchants. The recent lumber disturbance at Jack sonville and Foroandina, Fla., in respect to the raising of the ratal to the latter port, swim* to have had very little, if any, effect on the lumber interest* here. Sometime ago the Florida Railroad and Navigation Cos. reduced the rates; to Fernaudina by J 1.50 per car load, giving Fernandina that ad vantage orrar Jacksonville, although tho 'alter had the advantage of a shorter haul. Jacksonville, which had been steadily losing ltd lumber trade for months past, to Fer tuuidma's giia, resented this reduction as a direct, blow to its interests. The mer chants and business men began an agitation on the subject, and finally the Board of Trade took up the matter. At a mo'ting of One of its committees Col. Popy appeared before them and quite discussion ensued, tbe railroad representative taking tin; |K*i tiou Hurt the reduction only placed tbe rate where it was before, and that it was not in tho line of any attack on Jacksonville's in terest whatever. The Board of Trail.' was nor, ati3fied with this, however, and kept the m ilter agitated till finally the railroad company raised tho rate to its original \gurus. THE IBLAITD CITY INDIGNANT. This, of course, caused the Fernandina pc >[>le to growl arid to sjieak harshly of the jealousy of their sister city. A Fernandina •orrespondent of the Jacksonville Titnc t ’nii n recently expressed their views as follows: The increase of rates on lumber on the FI", ul.i liailway and Navigation to Fernandina is the g,Miral top*’ of conversation among oar unC r dealers and others, and it is being al Ml) demonstrated that the move is driving the [Va le to Savannah, a result entirely opposite tuih intended, milosi the Jacksonville luer ch. m. wish to cater to Savannah’s interests. If I': latter is a fact they have taken the right course to do so. It U theotknion id those heavy .luiha-i-h, N, B. Borders, Wheelwright A Cos.. CV'l. llusHeil and other*, that Savannah <lc,dor will obtain an advantage by this extra rate that will take all or nearly afHhe lumher which comes ,>ff tiie Savaunah, Florida and ’ffesiiTii Ml through to Savannah and entirely cut of Florida.

If Jackson ville thinks this arrangement wonkl heisSlt Them any lot t hem ask a further raise in rates to this jxirt and they will “And some dings sud.'* WHY" rr don’t comb heriS. The geueral seutimctitt among the loading lamßcr lln ns and dealers here hi that the views of the Fernandina correspondent Were •< ilored to suit tho occasion, Com pur ktively .f o dring very little Florida lumber is s ij , I from this port. TYiis is due to sev"i • tvs. First, the long haul opera tic. > disadvantage of savannah, as th< "tys come into ill roc t competi tio ■ Now York trade.

One ex planation of this te the high port chargee and other expenses here. A captain told me the other day that a different" of 25 rente per thousand on freight would not in duce him to come here if he could get a cargo at some of the coast porta. There ore various expenses connected with the shipment of lumlier from this point, that operate seriously against us. I notice it more and more each year, and if the dealers do not make a com bined stand in the matter we will bo left high and dry in the near future. STTGGESTIVE STATISTICS. “Here, for instance, are some interesting figures from the New York Lumber Trrulr Journal of July 15.” Tlie statement re ferred to is the following: •OCTHEKH micx akrivkd at sot tore jumk 28 to JULY 14. 1887.

The fortnightly statement will show about the same average right along. A DESIDERATUM TO BE DESIRED. “What we want is lower [xirt charges, lower charges for towage, and bettor no conniinflation* for londltig: no charges for transfer, nnd finally, unitod action ou the tMirt of tlie lumber men.

Another liu-ge firm took the opposite view of the decadence of the lumber iuteriwt here. “There may Is* a month or two in summer "hen our shipments are light,” remarked one of the gentlemen, “but taken altogether tlie year rouud this port holds its own re markably well; and 1 think m<>re trade is coming here, inKt-;,d of leaving.

JAIL GOSSIP. What tlus Inmakoe of the "Jujr” Said and Did Yesterday. The root wave reached the city yesterday, and the inmates of tho county jail were greatly pleased to reoeiyo it. Inside the building the temperature was fine all day and long siestas were indulged in by all. Cassidy is tho recipient of more or levs attention front tho prisoners of leaser degree, and they pay a good deal of attention to what hi lias to say. Ho retains his old time bobs terousne:* and his voice can be heard all over tlu, building easy enough, wlteti he so minds. lie greets every new prisoner with inquiries as to what, he is there for. and makes bis comments on tho equity of the ,tlm•. A negro was admitted tho other day from a remote section of the State and as usual Cassidy asked him what he was there for and what he expected would he done to hitn. Tho old fellow told him why he was arrested and then added mournfully. “I spools dey’ll hang me, sliure nuff, boss, I diiz. ” Cassidy roared at the old fellow’s piteous tones, and exclaimed with one of his far reaching and emphatic oaths, “I expect you deserve to bo, too, you !” His noonday meal is sent in to him now regularly. The prison “meals” are furnish ed if be desires thetn, but he says the one furnished him is sufficient. The confine ment hasn’t begun to wear on him yet, though he chafes at times and is very violent in his language. No application, as far as known, has lieen made by him for an attorney, and he hus made no statement re garding his movements on the night of the murder. He rends the city papers daily, but finds great fault with the published. re pute regarding himself and Isis doings. Titers are thirty inmates in the jail now. Probably as soon us the courts adjourn this week the number will increase daily. Deputy Sheriff Kinsey says he will bo glad when the new quarters are ready, os then he will feel far more secure regarding the safety of llie prisoners committed to his charge than he does now. He is a vigilant officer, and while ho is as lenient as possible, and allows his “family” all tho privileges possi ble, yet his vigilant eye is always open to koep thorn in view, fie Don duty in the day and Officer Hasted takes the night watch. Charles Logan, hold for assault with a “hilly,” wus released yesterday inorning, and went on his way rejoicing. When Tom FVigarty was released Satur day night he sprang through the door as soon as it was opened and drew' in a big breath, as if the jwire air outside was a gnvit, boon. Yesterday he was around with his friends and companions, and in the after noon a large number guthorod at his father's house to congratulate him on getting out. No Bundny services have lecn held at the jail fora long time. While ’tts true that generally tbe prisoners are a pretty U ugh set, yet seotl scattered by the wayside might spring op and do some good. Some of the eity missionaries might find the jail a good field for effective work. JOHN DRURY’S STATEMENT. He Made no Threats nor is He Armed— A Square Denial. Mr. John Drury, who was charged by Dr. Kieffer with having made threats against him, disclaims having made any threats, ami says he has no unkind foldings against the Doctor. Mr. Drury said: “I deity emphatically ever liaving followed Dr. Kieffer, or having shadowed him with any desire or lntentionto iMhitn any bodily harm. Ido not go armed at any time. 1 live in tho neighborhood of I)r. Kieffor’s ilrttg store, and in going to and from work have boon in the habit of passing up and down West Broad to Sims street and thence homo, or to tho railroad depit. In doing so 1 pass opposite Dr. ICioffer’s store and have been doing so for years. If any wrong inference has been drawn from these facts It is not my fault, as I think I have tile right to go where I ideas), as long as Ido not break the laws. I have never made any throat, against Dr. Kieffer at all. I make this statement to put myself right Ixifore tho public, and am willing at any time, wherever found, to lie searched for weapons of auy kind, Ido not carry them, and without them I can injure no one.” THE NEW WESTERN SHORT LINE. Some Points About It Furnished by General Manager West. Maj. West., tho General Manager of the new Western Short Line, says that work on tho road is being pushed forward rapidly. He says that Messrs. Carpenter, Grant, Munday & Cos. cashed all their bills for lalior and material July 20. Thirty-two hands, ho says, arrived from Augusta yes terday, and forty from Dublin. Forty will be sent out from Savannah next Tuesday, and some thirty have been engaged within tho past three or four days along the line. The construction company now have over TOO hands and over UK) mules. They have an ample number of wagons, carts, serapers, <tc. To meet the de mands of their large and increasing force Maj. West has telegraphed an order to Maj. Jones who is locating tho line beyond Macon to bring his eorjis of engineers to Savannah. It is the pur pose of the Unitod States Construction and Improvement Company to concentrate all their forces at Savannah and build rapidly to Birmingham. Over seventy miles of the RUi the Major says, are now graded, and grading is being done at the rate of a mile a ay. Charleston Happenings. Capt, Simeon Hyde has determined to go up with the detachment of the Sumner Guard to tlie Farmers’ Lnoumptnent. The detachment will leave the city next Monday at ti o’clock in t.h(' afternoon in a special car and will reach Spartanburg at 2a. m. on Aug. 2. About half of those who will at tend the Encampment, will go thence to Greenville on a short additional vacation. The two little girls who got “over the garden wall’’ of tlie (Irphnn house on Friday afternoon without leave, and who have been missing since, are now present and ac counted for The names of the two little girls who aro the heroine i of the escapade are Daisy Van llollen and Winnie Wynne. Daisy is about. 7 years of age ami Winnie is about .j. Daisy is n very pretty child, mid is capable of doing heroic things in a small way. They had their out ing and wore well pleased to be back again. Said a prominent broker Saturday: “There has beou a slight flurry on Broad street for the past day or two, owing to the unusual demand wnioh suddenly sprung up for South Carolina Hailwav snick, and va rious rumors which were afloat comerning some new deal in connection with the Cen tral Kuilnvwi ol Georgia.

A ROW IN A BROTHEL. Four Ineffectual bhote Fired at a Suc oosaful Rival. A quarrel occurred on Mill and Canal streets yesterday afternoon about o'clock, and it cams near having a fatal ter mination. Tom Archie aud Ed Payne both live with a prostitute who was at one time the wife of a Chinaman, from whom she obtained tho name of Jennie One Lung. AU three are white. About a week ago the foinalo portion of this polygamous house hold began to show a preference for Ed Payne, which caused Archie to become an gered. He objected to this pro eeodure on tbe pul of Miss One Ling but as she still expressed a higer regard for Payne, Arcide became excited and began a pugilistic exhibition on One Lung's eves that dosed them. Payne then left for Augusts, but lie returned yesterday and, finding Archie firmly established as the favor:!*, began a row in the house, in which all three participated. Tho woman was slightly cut and she withdrew from the eomliat. Payne and Archie continued to fight, but Archie, getting the worst of it, attempted to withdraw, when Payno drew a pistol and fired four (dints at him. Payne ran out of the bouse uud started up Mill street. The noise of tbe firing soon attracted a crowd and they started in pursuit, headed bv Archie. At the corner of Mill aud Bay Payuc ran into a man who was standing there and knocked him down, but it did not stop bis flight. He dodged around corners and into lanes, but finally his pursuers lost sight of him and the chase was given up. Up to 1 o’clock this morning the police hod not heard of the trouble, but when it is reported to them they will probably look it up, and if they can find Payne ho will tie arrested. THROUGH THE CITY.

THE ALLEGED PAPAL BULL AGAINBT McGLYNN A FRAUD. Rev. Lawrence Sterno’a Parody on Excommunication Circulated as the Form Used in Anathematizing the Anti-Poverty Prolate—What the True Form la, and From Whence it is Obtained. Ou Sunday, July 17, the New Y'ork Snn printed a long article entitled, “The Old Form of Excommunication—The Anathema Used in Foi-mer Time, but Not in the Cose of Dr. McGlynn!” This article has lieen copied extensively throughout, the (xnmtry, and frequently it has been represented as the Papal bull directed against Dr. Mc- Glynn. It is on anath.eina of the most vio- Icut type, and not without a good deal of blasphemy. It curses every part of the offender’s spiritual and anatomical self, and calls upon all the hosts of heaven, tho Father, Hon, and Holy Ghost,, the Virgin Mary, St. Mielmei, all the angeLs and archangels, prin cilialities and [lowers, and all the heavenly armifw, and everything and every soul toi'o likewise. In mentioning what is to Le cursed, and when, it says: May be be cursed in his brains and in his vertex. In bis temples, in bis forehead, in his ear, in his eyebrows, in his cheeks, In his jaw bone. in his nostrils, in his foreteeth and grind ers, in his lijis. iti his throat, in his shoulders, in bis wrist, in bis arms, in ids breast, in Ills heait and purtnnance, and in his bottomest stomach, in his reins and in his groin, in his thighs, and in his hips, and in his knees, his legs and feet, and too nails. May he be cursed In nil the joints and articula tions of his members frsm tbe top of his bead to the sole of his foot! May there be no soundness in him. May he be cursed in living, in dying, in eating and drinking, in being hungry, in Icing thirsty, in fasting, in sleeping, ia slumbering, m waking, lu walking, in standing in sit ting, in lying, in working, in resting. Bishop Becker was asked yesterday if this was the form of excommunication used by the Roman Catholic Church and he denounced it as absurd, ridiculous and blasphemous He said that it never had been a part of tbe discipline of the Church, but was a parody upon excommunication written by Rev. Ijawranee Sterne in “Tristram Sfiandy.” Rev. Mr. Sterne was a priest of the Church of England and a disgrace to his cloth. His Tristram Shandy as well as others of bis works were vulgar as anything ever written in English,except perhaps Tom Jones and Gulliver’s Travels. He desired to ridicule the Roman Church and then-fore he put the words of his own form of ex-cotntnu nitration in the month of ‘‘Uncle Toby.” It was not original even then, however, for Sterne stole the idea and much of the phraseology from one of the works of Burton, the anatomist. This alleged form of excommunication has been known ever since, Tristram Shandy has been in print and has never been seriously con sidered as the one in use in tbe Church. The true form is alterable. It is based upon the curses Moses proclaimed should fail upon the people of Israel if tiiey refused to hearken unto the voice of God and observe hfcstatuets and commandments, Deuteronomy, xxviii., 16 to the end; ana St. Paul’s command to deliver an offender unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, I. Corinthians, v., 5. Taking these two por tions of Scripture as examples the bulls are writteu and no set form is used. Like all parodies there is a degree of simi larity between Sterne’s bull and the curse of Moses, the foundation of the Pupal bulls, but the similarity is drawn in blasphemy. The idea of the quotation given above is from tbe 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 35th verses of the twenty-eighth chapter of Deu teronomy, which reads: Cursed shall tboa be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the fleid. Cursed shaft be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shalt be the fruit of thy land, the in crease of thy kind and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou l* when thou coinest in, and cursed sbolf thou be when thou goest out. The liord shalt smite thee in the knees and in the leg* wit h a sore liotuh that cannot he healed from the sole of thy foot to the top of thy head. And thus throughout the Scriptural anathema is taken as the model of “Uncle Toby’s” curse. Bishop Broker expressed great surprise that so many people had ac cepted tbe alleged form as the true one, particularly as “Tristram Shandy” is a work so well known to readers. Row Ox r er a Row Boat. Last night, at about 10 o’clock, a fight oc curred on the bridge crossing the canal, in Yamocraw. Two colorod men began quar reling over the ownership of a boat., and from arguments proceeded to blows. Tho oars were used as knock-down ai'gumeuts and did good service. Several bystanders took pari, in the row and a free fight was inaugurated. Two of the men were badly hurt, hut nothing fatal. Tho row attracted a big crowd, anil a score or more night-hawks were attracted to the scene. No police wore present and no arrests were made. Notes of the Game.

Kansas City, Mo., July 23.— Nicholas Johnson, a leading merchant of Honolulu, who passed through this city to-day from San Francisco on his way to New York, said this morning regarding the troubles in Hawaii: “The whole island is in a state of disor der. Kver since the people deprived King Kalakauu of his power the lawless elements have liecn doing pretty much as they pleased. It was a great mistake that they didn’t (lepot® the King outright and set up a republican form of government It isn t safe for a man with valuables to go about the streets of Honolulu unarmed Every once in a while rumors would be printed concerning an insurrection, and people would close their places of business ami repair to houses with barricaded doors. II Claus Spreckels shows his face in the Hawaiian Islands he will be killed as sure as fate. The ignorant natives have just be gun to comprehend that Kalakaua was not die cause of their troubles, and that Hpreck els was. 1 do not believe that this state of things can go on much longer, as everybody on the island is arming, and it will take little to lun the anger of the populace into a flume, and then blood will lie spilled. “Very few people understand the true inwardness of the cause that brought Kalakaua to his knees. A couple of years ago Spreckels had an agent at Honolulu named Albert R. Hatch, who was formerly engaged ii\ the practice of law at New Brunswick, N. J. Kalakaua loaded down this Hatch with all the cheap honors he could derive, and Hatch whs living in regal style when Spreckels caught him in some underhand business with some other sugar company and he was discharged. After his dismissal Hatch began plotting for the dethronement of the King. He enlisted the support of a great many people in his favor, and when the committee of the people waited on Kalakaua the King was so fright ened that I do believe if he had been asked to step down and out he would have iloue so. Here is just where they made the mis take. They took away ICn lakaua’s power without supplying any adequate substitute, and there can be no peace or prosperity until order is restored. I have shaken the dust of that place off my feet forever.” Weather Indications.

The Royal Raking Pcwder Declared JSupe2?i©2? to all others. The fact that Royal Baking Powder is, in all respects, the best baking powder offered to the public has been established beyond question. Prof. 11. A. Mott, when epiployed by the U. S. Govern ment to analyze the various baking powders of the market to determine which was the best and most economical, after/ an extended investigation, reported in favor of the Royal, and it was adopted for government use. Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking powders sold at the present day, ami now affirms it as his deliberate judgment, arrived at after most thorough research and a careful examination of the principal brands of the market, that the Royal is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public. Prof. Mott, in his recent report, says : “The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I have so found it in many tests made both for that company and the U. S. Government. “ I will go still further and state that, because of the facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the proper proportions of the same, and the met he'd of its preparation, the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public.
