Tito heavy rains now prevailing greatly delay the work of finishing the Tyi>t>e rail road roadbed. The soft saud placed on dur ing the day is washed away and double work has to lie done. In the end this will, of course, work greatly to the advantage of the road, as the extra sand dumped will so much increase the solidity of the roadbed, but the contractor, in.all probability, doesn’t consider the ruins much of a •‘windfall” for him. Mr. A iton Stamm, an old resident of tliis city, died at his residence. 162 Bryan street, yesterday afternoon.

A Piilliiiau sleeper will leave here via the Charleston and Savannah railway at 1S:2I) p.m., going through without change, ar riving at Asheville at 7 o’clock next morn ing. The rood is clear and no interruption to travel. • THE COTTON CRO? INJURED. Both Corn and Cotton Buffer From the Incessant Rain. The flood of tho past few days has done an enormous amount of dumugo to both cotton and corn, and throughout Middle Georgia the planters have suffered heavily. Ix-tu-rs from Cairo and Camilla say that in both those sections the rain has entered the opening bolls and is rotting tho cotton; that a grout deai of damage has already boon done, but the loss will bo much heavier than it is unless clear weather comes soon Sim ilar complaints are coming in with every mail. Tiie delay in the mail has prevented the factors from learning tho exact condi tion of the crops, but they expect to hear some very discouraging news when the let ters liogin to arrive. Capt. Johnson, of John Flannery & Cos., says that the damage to both corn and cot ton in Middle Georgia will be at least 'lO tier cent. All through the hill country the damage has been groat, for the crops were growing in the valleys, and the streams have swollen so that they have been com pletely flooded. Thousands of acres have lieen turned from farms to lakes, and where but a few days ago the splendid looking plants gave the farmer hopes of a rich liar vest there is nothing but water. The crops have never looked better than they did this year. They were healthy and strong, and even the farmers, whouroso prone to grum ble, were lonsting of their splendid ap pearance, but now one cun row over these crops in a boat in some places, and the farmer has begun again, and justly, to com plain. A BREAK AT OGEECHEE. Seven Miles of Central’s Track Over flowed—Passengers Transferred by Wagon. Tho Tuesday evening out train on the Central returned here yesterday morning, having only made the round trip from Halcyoudale, the break at the Ogoechoe preventing furthor progress. From the lifty-live mile-post to tho sixty-second the track is all overflowed, the water being from 0 inches to 3 feet doep. At 8 o’clock yesterday afternoon reports received nere announced a rise of 3 feet in the previous two hours, and that the rise was continuing. Nino passengers were transferred by team vaster lay morning, but probably iliat will bo stop|>ed as it can not well be done. A!! trains save tho 1 and 2, the morning “shoofly” and tlie “dinner train,” have been abandoned. These trains only run to Halcyondale, and no tickets are sold further north at present. The bridge at Oconee is damaged greater than was at first supposed, and it will not be fully repaired for nearly a week. The Fort Royal and Augusta railroad is also I ndly washed away, so travel to Augusta cannot go that way. Nearly all the roads entering that city are in bad shape and busi ness was nearly nt a standstill at one time. If the Hood in high heio, the Central’s road at the twenty-one mile post will bo endan gered, and it may be some portions of the Savannah, Florida and Western's. Local Personal. Hon. Henry Brash, Mayor of Marianna, Fla., is at tho Screven. Capt. John R. F. Tattnall left the city yesterday for the mountains on a short vu cation. Capt. W. 8.

Valk lias lieen unanimously elected a trustee of the Elisten Home to fill the vacancy occasioned by tho death of Mr. J H. Piepei . At a meeting of the commissioners of the City Hospital Hold Tuesday afternoon Mr. Himder Simons was elected Superintendent of tho hospital, vice Mr. W. D. Hu and, re signed. lucre were four candidates for the position. Mr. MeCarrell has finished laying about seventy-five feet of the concrete foundation for the north side of the custom house wharf, and is now building a coffer-dam, preparatory to boginning work on the east end of tlio pier. It is understood that the Charleston and Savannah Railway Company now has un der consideration a plan to build a branch road from Drayton’s Htutiou, on tli main line of its road, to tho old wharf property on the west side of Ashley river, opposite Charleston. Tho committee appointed from tho Mer chants’ Exchange in connection with the October festival met Tuesday, and after a full discussion of the matter passed a resolu tion inviting the Cotton Exchange and the Chamber of Commerce to appoint similar committees to meet it at 12 o’clock on Friday next to consult as to what steps had liest tie taken toward getting up the festi val. The heavy winds from the south and south west during the past week have blown the saud over the Sullivan’s Island railroad truck so rapidly that the company lias lieen compelled to keep a largo force of hands at work almost constantly, in order to keep the track clear enough for the cars to run. Tuesday morning the can bound for the 0 o’clock boat to Charleston were delayed by tliis cause, and the early passengers were all left on the island until the 8 o’clock trip of the bout. The sand lulls have materially charged their configuration during the past wool" The Charleston Bridge Company will ap ply to the General Assembly of the State at its next session for an amendment to its charter authorizing it to construct a railroad from points in St. Andrew’s parish to Charleston by way of the Ashley bridge. The construction of a railroad across the bridge is part of a plan for facilitating the development of the country on the other side of tne bridge. Indeed, it has already lieen made necessary by the rapid develop ment which has been going on in St. An drew’s ever since the completion of the new bridge. Should the com puny get the necessary amendment to their charter, which it no doubt will, it will probably also under take the construction of two branch roads or spurs from [joints in the interior of tho country to connect with tho bridge road.

A Sword-Swallower in a Hospital. The Cincinnati Enquirer tells of a most remarkable aud successful surgical operation which was performed upon one of the male patients of the Cincinnati Hospital Sunday morning Inst by Dr. E. W. Walker, assisted by Surgeon John A. Murphy and several of the internes of tho hospital corps. On July 16 a young man of medium build, who registered as Andrew J. Driver, aged 22, and residing at 61 Pierson street for three months past, entered the hospital. He was almost bent double and walked with great difficulty, and. in answer to questions, stated that he Was suffering from most agonizing pains in the stomach. For several years lie has been traveling with shows about the country as a fakir, nnd performing the sword-swallowing feat. About four years ago, while giving a per formanco in one of the smaller towns in the northern part of tliis State, lie was bantered by a number of spectators, who thought the sword he swallowed was worked by springs, and the}’ dare! him to go through the same act with an ordinary case knifo. In this lie was successful, and a number made up a purse and wagered him quite a sum that be could not swallow an ordinary teaspoon. He arreptod their challenge, and picked up a triple-plated teaspoon of Rogers’ manufac ture, slowlv placed it in his mouth ami swal lowed it. He after that continued the sword net, feeling no ill effects from the spoon until about six months ago, when during one of his performances, he dis tinctly felt the end of the sword blade strike the spoon, and for several days could feel it gradually changing its course toward his stomach. Yet all this while he had expe rienced no iiainful sensation. Some two weeks later, however, he was attacked with violent cramps ami [mins, beginning in his right side and afterward changing the course of the suffering to the stomach, in the immediate neighborhood of the navel. These attacks wore only [leriodionl at first, and finally he concluded to come to Cincin nati for treatment. Arriving here lie hod a more favorable turn, and remained most of the finical mut home until on thodatemen tioned, when he was again attacked in a more violent, form than at any previous time. He then concluded to soik medical aid, and to that end entered the hospital for treatm nit. Ho wax closely questioned and placed under a rigid examination, but, ow ing to tho excessive hot weather and the delicacy with which his case would neces sarily have to no handled, the surgeons thought it ml visa bln to defer the operation until tiie weather Isvame more favorable. Ho was informed Sunday morning that in order to extract the spoon from his stomach a very delicate and yet severe surgical operation would have to lie performed that would lie attended by great danger. Ho bravely agreed to have ti e operation jierformod, and accordingly during the early morning hours of t hat day he was placed under the influence of an nnuvUheilc and the ojierntioii beg an. Dr. Walker skilfully handled the knife and o| s'iiisl the stomach n trifle lieiow the navel, where, toward the right side, imbedded in iho intestines, was found first the handle of the siKm. and working the finger along through the growth the bell part of the s|mx)ii w.ix reached, and tho spoon removed intact from the patient. Tile intestines were placed carefully lock nnd the wound dressed and sewed up, the patient during the operation giving hardly hiiv Indication of pain. During Sunday, after recovering from the effects of the’ anaesthetic administered, lie complained of pain mul was quite rest less, but during yesterday seemed to he re x>vrtaf nicely; and last mdu when the hospital was visits) 1 lie was resting easily.

Romances in real life? There aro plenty of them, unil here is one. Tho story begins on tiie other side of the world and ends, for tho present, in Bennett street in this city. A young man with the blood of the im mortal Iron Duke in his veins; a young girl whom he hail wronged, and who in turn wronged him; a rejected lover who did not take his rejection as final; implacable parents; an old man’s curse; a woman’s frailty; a desperate and uuvailing struggle with poverty’; these aro the characters aud incidents which make up a drama of real life as interesting ax many of the fictitious ones set forth upon the stage. Eight years ago Alexander Smart, a Scotchman by birth, was a well-to-do miller near Sydney, N. S. W. His house and mill were at Waverly, one of tho suburbs of Sydney. The miller’s wife was dead, but he had one daughter, Maude. She iiad no claim to ex treme ticauty, but by her superior educa tion, charming manners and good qualities, she made havoc with tho hearts of the Sydney beaux. Then there came a change in the fortunes of the honest miller. The greater part of his money was in the care of the Stock Raisers’ Bank, and it failed in March, 18711. The miller was ruined. Then his daughter Maude, who was de voted to him, obtained employment in one of the large dry goods shops of Sydney. She worked hard and faithfully, anil every week advanced in the favor of lier employ- ers. About this time a young man named Hart, a graduate of the University of Syd ney, became very attentive to Maude, and for a time it seemed ax if he would lie suc cessful in bis suit for her hand. But a rival appeared on the scene. This rival bore the world-famous namo of Arthur Wellesley. He also was a graduate of the University of Sydney. The competition for the favor of the young lady was evidently unequal. Wel lesley was remarkably handsome, and a scion of a famous family. His father was second cousin to the present Duke of Wel lington, and directly related to the immortal Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, and hero of Waterloo. Young Arthur Welles ley’s father had amassed a large fortune in the wool-raising business, and owned great tracts of valuable land in the colony of New South Wales. Perhaps it was but natural that tiie affections of the Australian damsel were easily diverted to tiie handsome and aristocratic youth. Maude’s father, tho ruined miller, thought he saw in this match a chance to retrieve his fallen fortunes. But what never does run smooth did not run smooth in this case. The young man’s [inrents were violently opposed to the mar riage, deeming Ma ;df far beneath Arthur Wellesley in birth and social position, to say nothing of wealth. They emphatically re fused their consent, and besought Arthur not to ta Ice so rash a step. But with the perversity proverbial in young men in that condition, the young man refused to be controlled by his parents. He was rich, accomplished, handsome, cultured, ami belonged to a ducal family; he might almost have had his choice among the ladles of the highest Australian society, but lie vowed lie would be true to the ruined miller’s daughter. The parents threatened disinheritance, aud even the prudent miller, under these circumstances, advised delay, and finally became almost as much opposed to the mar riage as were the Wellesleys. But with the impetuosity of youth, young Arthur pro posed an elopement. One night he and Maude were missing, and not a word was heard from either of them for two years. Then it was learned that they had settled in Tasmania, and were living happily after the love-in-a-cottage plan. But the mother of young Wellesley was not content with this state of affaire She wrote imploring him, for her sake and the sake of the family name, to come back and ask the forgiveness of the father. She said if ho would do this all would be well. The mother did not receive a favorable reply, but she procured large sums of money from her husband to send her son. The young man was thus enabled to live well, if not in luxury, until January 1885. Then to his friends in Sydney came the intelligence, to them, astounding, that although he and Maud were living together they were not man and wife. When this was learned at Sydney the old miller cursed liis daughter’s memory and forbade all about him to mention her name. John Hart, the suitor who hail lieen dis placed by the stripling with ducal blood in liis veins, vowed vengeance. Even the Wellesley family felt disgraced, and young Arthur’s father, already estranged, dis owned and disinherited his son, cutting off the supplies of money which he had Yjeen permitting his wife to semi liis absent son. Arthur Wellesley and Maude, having fal len from the comfortable position in which ttiey had been living, resolved to leave Aus tralia and come to America. Having a classical education, he believed that he could easily siip)>ort himself and Maude. A child had been born to thorn, a pretty little boy, whom they named Garnet Wolseloy, after the noted General. From this time their darker troubles be gan. Arthur Wellesley was stricken witheo lonlal fever and Maude wins in ill health, caused largely by the grief she folft when she realized the position she occupied in the eyes of her aged father. They’came to New York by way of Liv erpool They had little money and camo as steerage passengers. The steamer in which they embarked from Liverpool was the ill-fated Oregon, and their perils and sufferings in tiie steerage would have (i'dixl a liook. “Jack,” as the sailors called little Garnet, very narrowly escaped drowning when the steamer sank. When at lust they arrived in Now York young Wollesh y sought employment. Tlit lr luteiitioi! was to be married as soon as ho had obtained a paying situation, but as they were devoted to each other they thought little about that, regarding it ax a mere form, which might ne further postponed without further harm. Wellesley obtained several situations, but for south reason did not keep them long. He was taciturn, silent mid unsociable and made no friends. His employers soon lie eiune suspicious, and tie was discharged. This happened two or three times. When lie ami Maude were on ti e verge of absolute want, they expended ihe last of their iinmev in coming to tins cuy. That wax last February, Since then, this young man, brought up in affluence and reared,m refinement, has hud one misfortune alter another, in un broken sueivssion. Yesterday morning a Globe reporter found him working as a cook in a uii'cralile establishment oil Bennett street. With some difficulty he was [ire vailed upon to tell his story, part of which is given as nlsivo. It wits corroborated from other sources. Wellesley aud Maude were living in a miserable garrett on Bennett street; suffer ing great privations. But tho worst of his misfortunes wax yet ta come. Maude, unknown to him, hud, for some time, Iss-n corresjKinding with young Hart, the rejected lover, who c father had. in the inomitnne, become very wealthy. Hart hod heard from her of her situation and liad come all the way from Australia to this country to meet her. Not long ago Wellesley began to detect a falling off of her affection for him. The misery nml squalor of her present, life were more thnu she had bargained for. It was not love in n cottage, but love in u garret. Lust Tuisiilay Wellesley went us usual to Ids work as a cook. His labors began at 4 o'clock In the morning anil did not end until I 8 O’cllK'K Ml UkftUi When ut last lie was released he hurried to liis garret homo. Bhe was gone. Her two children hod gone with her. A second sou hail lieen lioru to them during their stay in New York. For these ohif ' and ren, as well as for Maude herself, young I Wellesley professed the most ardent love. | His despair when he learned of their flight i was hearti-ending. Letters containing money from his moth- I or, which should have been at thepost office 1 that day, wore also missing. Three ±TO : notes is what he thinks has Iv-eii taken. While he talked to the reporter tears were in his eyes, 110 referred to Henry W. Pea body, who, he said, knew his family. The proprietor of the place said that | Welleslv worked well, but had nothing to say to anybody and made no acquaintances and did not seem to wish to talk with any body. Wellesley must have changed much since he came to this country, judging by a pho tograph taken before he left Australia. He is of medium height, with blue eyes and dark brow hair. Late last night he received a postal card from Maude, as follows: New York, July 24. Don’t follow me. lamto be married to Mr. Hart, Goodby forever. This is the story as far as it has progressed. Old Time Land Proprietors. From the. Sandersvitte (Ga.) Herald. Among the official records of the county are two old volumes containing entries of land made from the years 17X8 to 17111. One of these volumes was copied in u very neat and artistic style by Mr. Osborn Martin, an estimable gentleman, who is still remem bered by many of our older citizens. This legend appears in the volumes: “Surveyed by order of Hon. President of Council, May 17, 1784.” It was during this year that the original Washington county was laid out, and then embraced in its vast domain, “all the terri tory from the Cherokee corner north, ex tending from the Ogecchee to the Oconee, south to Liberty county.” The counties of Tutnall, Bulloch, Emanuel, Johnson with parts of Montgomery, Laurens, Jefferson, Baldwin and Hancock were included in its territory. These old records clearly prove that hu man nature in 1774, was much akin to hu man nature in 1884, in its grasp and greed for gain, and love for monopoly. The capi talists of those days entered vast areas of land, doubtless far exceeding the immense mnnors of the old English barons. The original surveys were in tracts of 1.000 acres each. We transcribe a few of these early Georgia barons: Israel Robin son and William Pollard each entered 41 tracts of 1,000 acre 6, John Gardner entered 50 tracts of 1,000 acres, Absalom Jackson 60 tracts of 60.1 XX) acres, Daniel McLane also 60,000 acres, while Ignatius Few-, in 1791, Thomas Glascock and Benjamin Kitchens entered smaller bodies. The prince of these landed lords was Joseph Ryan, with 213 tracts, or 213,000 acres. This vast area ex ceeds 333 square miles, or a scope over 18 miles square, a territory larger than many counties in Georgia, and would, if placed mile after mile, make a belt one mile wide, from the south line of Georgia very nearly or quite to the north line of Tennessee. The small landowners of the present day will feel almost bewildered at these enor mous freeholds. We also noticed that later surveys were made in tracts of 287-., acres, and of 575 acres, a measurement that does not seem to have continued long in force. From numerous letters received here for a score or more of years, there has been a large amount of wild cat speculation on these lands principally in the Northwest, as the letters are mainly from lowa, Dakota and other Northwestern States. As an evidence that the Dakota tender foots have I (eon duped by sharpers, there are more inquiries made about lands entered by one Abner Jones, than by any other name, as no such name os Abner Jones can be found on the books. The curious and the antiquarian will find much to interest them in these old musty records of the dim past. At Estill’s News Depot.
