8 THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and There by the News Reporters. Magnolia Encampment No. 1, I. O. O. F., meet* this evening. Golden Rule Ixxige No. Li, I. O. 0. K., hold a regular meeting this evening. The Equitable Loan and Building Asso ciation will hold its twelfth regular meeting at the office of Jackson & Whatley. A hig gray eagle was killed at Thunder bolt the other day bv Mr. Frank Thompson. Jt measured eight feet from tip to tip of the extended wings. Yesterday must have been an off day with the sinners about town, as only three arrests were made by the police. Two were for disorderly conduct and the other a suspicions character, found in the Savannah, Florida and Western railway yard Deputy Sheriff IV. .1. Turpin, of Augusta, came down yesterday ami returned home on the evening train with Jim Saulsbury in custody. It will be remembered Sanlsburv ■was arrested here Saturday, charg'd with robbing a Chinese grocer in Augusta. The Mayor's Court was well attended yesterday morning. The fines were rather higher than usual. Peter Gregory and Joe Durk were fined S3O and S2O respectively, for disorderly conduct and resisting the officers. William Haves, for disorderly conduct and beating his wife, was given sls, while she was discharged. The fines footed up some $l7O. ADDITIONAL DIRECTORS. Important Amendments to the City and Suburban Railroad Charter. Th° City and Suburban Railroad Com pany has sent on a bill to the Legislature petitioning for two amendments to its charter. The first section increases the number of directors from four to seven; the second allows the company to charge for the carrying of trunks, or 'other large or heavy pnreels. Capt. Johnston, General Manager of the road, was seen yesterday afternoon and asked regarding the amend ments. “We sent the bill in because we needed it badly," said the captain. “Bpfore a quorum of the hoard was three, but it seemed impossible to get three of the four present at any onetime Last year we had. I helieve. only one directors’ meeting on account of this trouble, and it seemed unavoidable, too, as these gentle men always had business that de tained one or more of them, thus preventing the securing of a quorum. But with seven we think there will ne no trouble, for certainly out of seven we can capture four.’’ The second section was then alluded to. “Oh, yes, about, charging for packages," re marked Capt. Johnston, “if you would watch the cars on Mondays and Fridays, say, you •would see the great need for some such regu lation. For instance two colored washer •women will come up to a car, carrying a large basket be tween them and one in each hand. One of them probably will get, on one side, but all three baskets will be placed on the front platform, interfering with the driver and being a nuisance generally. And this thing occurs all the time and bothers us to a great extent. On some lines trunks ■will be carried very often, many times causing the car to miss its schedule, on ac count of the delay caused in placing it on the platform and removing it. When a car misses its schedule trip it means a loss of $3 to $4 to the company. It is very inconvenient, annoying and costly to iis to be thus troubled, and we are endeavoring to secure power to stop or regulate it. We intend either to get pay for carrying these pack ages and baskets or else drive them off the line.” Several conductors were spoken to regarding the package nuisance, and they all said it was a great bother ; hindering them and proving very annoying to their passengers. WHAT OLD PROBS. SAYS, Higher Temperature Promised Soon- Great Deficit in Rainfall. The maximum temperature here yester today was $1", and the minimum GO". The average was 70”, being 10” below the nor mal. The temperature in the cotton dis tricts, exrept Wilmington, has risen slightly. The Wilmington district, how ever, still remain* cool enough to affect the cotton crop in North Carolina. The tem perature is rising generally in all parts of the country, especially in the Ohio and Upper Mississippi Valievs and Tennessee. The 10 o'clock reports last night showed a temperature of 86” at St. Louis, the higheet reported in the country. Cin cinnati reported 84 . The lowest reported ■was 56”, at Bismarck. No rains fell in the cotton regions. The 10 p. m. report showed rains had fallen in the Missouri valley and the lake regions. The barometer was highwt in the extreme Northwest. The storm that was central in the Northwest Monday has moved eeetward and at 10 o’clock last night was centra] over the upper lake regions. It will prohably move off the New England coast to-day. Tie rainfall here is very deficient, there being a deficit of 7 inches'since Aug. 1, and nearly 10 inches since Jan. 1. The indica tions are; Warmer, fair weather. CAST UP BY THE SEA. A Message That Was Sent a Year Ago Juet Received. A bottle, tightly corked, was picked up an the beach about four miles north of Pablo Beach by Mrs. G. N. Niles, who resides near the place. The bottle was found to contain a neatly folded paper with the following inscription thereon: “Going to Savannah. Thrown from steamer Naooochee, of Savannah, off South Carolina coast. Sept 30, 1886, by Ella Stuart, Valdosta. Ga.; L. M. McCormick, South Main street, Gainesville, Fla.; Dun can McFarland. Savannah, Ga., 74 South Broad street. Please write.” This was picked up Sept. I, nearly a year from the time of its being thrown in. If this bottle could tell its own story, the expe rience of a year in the Atlantic, while being tossed on the angry billows and again floating in calm seas, and passing safely through it all to oarry the message intrusted to its care, would make an interesting tale. An Embezzler Caught. M. E. Reid, alias Jeese Eugene Merwin, has been arrested at Henderson, N. C., on the charge of stealing $6,000 from the National Express Company, at Glen Falls, N. Y. Reid, or Merwin, was the man the police here were looking for when they alighted upon Lieut. H. T Smith Dorrien a few days ago. Reid was given an examina tion at Raleigh, and was ordered to lie turned over to the New York authorities forl-rial. A Woman’s Age. A woman, it is said, is no older than she looks. Many women, however, look double their actual age by reason of those funetiono 1 disorders which wear upon the nerves and vitality, and which, if unchecked, are liable to change the most robust woman to a weak, broken-down invalid.

B. Lssto-s RAT-CATCHERS' STORIES. Tales Called to Mind by the Vision of a Rat-Trap and lie Prisoner. Three gentlemen were sitting in a restau rant last night, enjoying a friendly smoke , and a quiet gloss, when the proprietor of the establishment came in with a trap and | a huge rat, which liad iieen caught therein. The rat was examined and pronounced a 1 tine i-atoil. and after the natural joke at the proprietor's expense aliout having “squir ; rel" on the bill of fare next morning, the I conversation was resumed. The gentlemen 1 had tieen talking about fox hunting, but they switched off on to rats, and each took his turn in trying to outdo the others in rat i stories. “The biggest rat-s I ever saw,” said No. 1, i "are on the wharves. I remember I used to j Vs- on the wharves and some of us fixed up a rat trap of our own. We tixef a corn sack so the mouth would stand open until we pulled a string that cloned it. We would bait the trap by putting cheese in the bot tom of the sack, and then we would go off some distance and watch for them. The rate would come out of their holes and smell the cheese, ar.d go into the bag for it, and when there was a good big lot of them in there together v.o would pull the string and catch them. Frequently we would catch a sack full at one haul, and we always caught at least two sat'ks lull a dav." “What, catch a corn sack full at once.*” exclaimed No. 2. “Well, I don’t mean so full you couldn’t get another in it, but a-full—you know what I mean.” “Oh, yes,” laughed No. 2, “I know what you mean.” Then taking his turn at the wheel, No. 2, who is a sea Captain, said: “Well, the funniest thing I ever saw in the way of rats was about a \ ear ago. A fel low came on my vessel and asked if there were any rats in her. I told him yes, plenty, and lie offered to clean them all out Re said if there were not many he would catch them all for $lO, but if there were many he wanted 10c. a piece. There weren’t very many, so I told him to go to work, and what do you think lie did? He brought another fellow with him and a sack of something that looked like salt, hut it wasn't salt. The two of them went to work and sprinkled this stuff all over the ship. Then when it ws dark the fellow I made the bargain with made the other fellow stand behind him and hold the sack open. Then he got, down on his hands and knees and put something in his mouth and began to make a low funny kind of noise, and the rats all began to come right up to him, and just as fast as they would come up he would catch them and throw them into the sack behind him, and in less than two hours there wasn’t a rat aboard the vessel.” ■ln ominous silence fell. It was begin ning to grow painful. No. 2 had dropped his eyes and he seemed afraid to raise them. No. 3 came to the rescue. He laid his slouch hat on the table and clasped his hands liehind his back. “My father had a nigger boy," he said in a firm tone that in dicated confidence ‘ and our cellar was filled with rats. My father told the boy that he’d give him sc. for overy rat he caught, so every night the boy would take a piece of cheese in each hand and make one of the other boys go with him into the cellar with a light. He would la} r flat on his back and stretch out both arms and open his hand, letting the cheese lay on top of them. Then he would make the other Toy take the light away. He would lie there and wait until the rats came around and began to nibble at the cheese. Then he would close both hands suddenly and catch a. rat in each, and here he’d come out into the light holding up a rat in each hand and demanding his dime.” No. 2 had straightened up and was star ing hard at No. 8. No. 1 had a sad, far away look. He and No 2 arose slowly and moved toward the door, and as their forms were swallowed up in darkness there was wafted hack in pitiful tones, “1 am some thing of a liar myself.” '**’ Local Personal.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1887. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters or Money and Management About Various Lines. It has been estimated that the railroad grade to Lake Helen, Fla., can he completed for $1,500. The Orange Belt railroad bridge across the Withlacoochee river near Macon, is nearly completed. The Georgia Midland railroad track lay ing is completed from Columbus to Mc- Donough, on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad. The Sooth Florida railroad company is preparing an exhibit of the product* and manufactures of South Florida for the Piedmont Exposition, to he held in Atlanta in October. The construction company of the Atlanta and Hawkiiisville had agreed to take the road to Kii'niisville in consideration of $50,- 000 and the right of way-, if the directors would approve, but last, Wednesday the directors refined to consent, and so Barnea ville does not get the road. The attorneys of the New- Orleans Pacific railroad liave filed a brief with the Secre tary of the Interior, asking for anew hear ing in the matter of the forfeiture of the lands granted to the old New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg Company, and which were assigned by it to the New Or leans Pacific railroad. In Port Orange, Fla., the principal topic is the projywed railway from thence to Glencoe. It would he a good thing for the former place, but a bad move for New Smyrna. According to the conformation of the country, from Port Orange in a southerly direction to Glencoe, and not New Smyrna would appear to be the proper direction. The parties who furnished the funds for the completion of the Blue Bpring, Orange C'ty and Atlantic railroad, Florida, now contemplate the extension of that road to Tavares, Fla., with a view to making a con nection w ith the Florida Railway and Navi gation system at, that point. All arrange ments preliminary to the extension of the road have been completed, and the officers have lieon instructed to prepare estimates of the cost of extending the road as above at oiice. They also propose to establish a line of steamboats on the Halifax, Hillsborough and Indian rivers te run in connection with the R. S.. O. C. &A. R. R., so that there will he Imt one transfer of freight (namely-, that at New Kinyrnal, lietween the point of shipment and all Northern and Western cities, thus giving the people of the East coast the benefit of a competing lino for the shipment of their fruit and vegetables. Mr. J. E. Ingraham, President of the Nouth Florida railroad, a-eompanied by Mr. Wilbur McCoy, General Freight and Passenger Agent of the road, arrived in Jacksonville from Sanford in the presi dential favorite car Monday morning. Mr. Ingraham is a director of the Sub-Tropical, and came up to attend the meeting which was held in the afternoon. Mr. Ingraham, Mai. Sherman Oonant. the General Manager of the Florida Southern, and prominent officials of the Florida Railway and Naviga tion, left over the latter road Tuesday morn ing for Tallahassee, where they are to meet the railroad commissioner. The commis sioner issued a call a short time ago re questing all persons owning or operating any railroad, wholly or in part, in the State, to meet them in their session, which begun yesterday, to arrange rates and schedules for the guidance of these roads. The pri vate cars of the South Florida and the Florida Railway and Navigation trans ported the railroad officials to Tallahassee. Against the Louisville and Nashville. An indignation meeting was held at Nash ville, Tenn., Saturday last, to protest against the so-called illegal acts of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Chairman Debrell called the meeting to order, and read a long document. He stated that the fight was to lie against the Ixmlsvilleand Nashville rail roan, and he says that Mr. E. B. Stahlman stated to him that he whs taking no steps, nor authorizing any steps to lie taken against the Midland road, but he (Mr. Do brell) alleges that “Mr. Stahlman and his hirelings” nave been busy day and night attempting to perfect arrangements to control the irresponsible vote of the county in the inter est of the Louisville and Nashville road. Mr. E. R. Richardson then offered some resolutions, declaring the Louisville and Nashville railroad to tie a foreign corpora tion and an invader, and denouncing its al leged organized effort te defeat the will of the people of Davidson county, and de claring the jieople must meet it boldly. They also call for a mass meeting on Mon day night, Sept, 5, on the public square. Upon a motion to adopt, there fol lowed a lively discussion. Mr. Robert L. Morris said that it was no ordinary oc casion A rich corporation proposed to come in and throttle this people. “1 do sav that when a rich corporation, with its mil lions, conies in to defeat this vote, we ought to have a vigilance committee. If Mr. Stahlman has been guilty, as charged, in using money to defeat this vote, then ho ought to lie riilden out of the county on a rail.” He favored a free and lintrainmeled ballot, and could not see how any citizen of the county could refuse to vote for the proposition. Dr. Thomas Menres also spoke, declaring that the Ixiuisville aud Nashville railroad were prepared to defeat the propo sition by bribery and corruption, buying the negro vote. Judge A. G. Merritt said the time had come for action, and earnestly advocated the road, as did Mr. Childress, John Riihme and others. Col. D. B. Cooper was called on, and said that he was op posed primarily to voting taxes to anything except the actual expenses of the gov eminent, but it had now come to the point whether the jieorilc should vote the tnx to this railroad or increase Ibe burden already heaped upon them hv the Louisville and Nashville railroad. This sum was a mere bagatelle to Davidson county, and her people could easily afford to take that amount and sink it into the Cumberland river in order to show to tins insolent and domineering corporation that we are its masters ami not it* slaves. Mr. Home, a prominent wholesale merchant,told of great discriminations that were made by the Louis ville and Nashville railroad against Nash ville. He would willingly vote 1o give the Midland the $500,000, if necessary,and would l>ay his part towards a $1,000,000 subscrip tion. A New Dish.

C., Sept. 6. —Bad play ing and had umpiring both, had something to do with Birmingham's awful defeat to day. John P. Moran was the umpire, and evidently tried to do the te-st he could, hut no amateur cun umpire a professional game satisfactorily. Fhxvi and Stallings held the points for the babies, and Hungler and Childs for the locals. Flood had no control over the ball at all, and yielded 9 clean hits and 7 phantoms. The locals piled up runs until, at the end of the ninth, the score stool 9 to 1 in favor of Charles ton. Up to this time the locals had not made a single error. They now after the usual style liegan to play loosely, and in a few moments Birmingham had the bases full with one run in and two out Hayes was declared out at first when be clearly lieat the hall there. Thß audience shouted shame, and the umpire himself admits that his decision was wrong, hut de clined to reverse it. It is not possible that Birmingham could have won because there was not daylight enough for them to even tie the score.

La., Sept. 6.—Memphis won the game by hard hitting in one inning to-day. New Orleans niKde two runs in the third by good base running and a little sharp batting. The game was so well con tested that it looked a winning lead, hut in the fifth inning singles by iteccius, Peltz, Phelan, Baker, and sacrifices by Black and Andrews, and a three-bagger by McAleer brought in six runs. New Or leans played without heart after this, although Memphis did not score again. In the third inning Fuller was hit, by a pitched ball, and a passed hell and Vaughn’s sacri flee lot him in, hut that was all. Umpire Berkery was severe on the home team, and retired after the fifth inning on account of the dissatisfaction he caused. William Miller, a popular veteran, finished satisfac torily.

Henry Schachte returned Monday from a three weeks' trip to the North. He says that he saw Bartlett, the model cashier of the Sumter bank, on the streets of Gotham. News was received in the city Monday of the death in New York of Mrs. Harris, widow of the late Isaac Harris, of this place. Mrs. Harris was an old lady and had lived all her life in Charleston, where she was known for her many philanthrophic deeds, having been for many years President of the Ladies’ Hebrew Benevolent Society. She left here last winter with relatives to reside in New York. Her remains will reach Charleston to-morrow morning and will be interred in the Hebrew Cemetery. The trustee of the late Countess Allesina Pauline Isvmetti, Mr. Caspar Chisholm, has taken out letters of administration on her estate. The Countess had a life interest in bonds, securities, etc., to the amount of $75,003, which interest now reverts to the heirs of the late Alexander Chisholm, from whose property her interest was derived. There ts, however, an unexpended balance of about $1,500, in which Count John B. Leonetti, of Florence, Italy, has an interest. There was a joint meeting at the office of Capt. F. IV. \Vagener Monday morning at 10 o’clock, of the committee in the matter of freight discrimination against Charleston which have been appointed by the Mer chants’ Exchange and the Charleston Ex chai.ee. The discussion of the matter was informal and principally upon the specific charges which have already been given in the Xeirs and Courier. There was also some discussion of the method of procedure, whereby the matter can l>e most intelli gently brought before the Interstate Rail road Commission and urged most effectively. Asa result of the deliberations on this point it is proposed to secure the services of some active, energetic and weltposted agent, to be paid a reasonable compensation, who shall visit.!he places along the lines of railway where discriminations are practiced. This agent is to re|jort to the joint committee, and then with all the facts in his possession proceed to Washington and lay the case in its strongest light before the commission. At ft met ting ot the Charleston Exchange Monday the followingrosoliition was jiassed: “That the Charleston Exchange agree to the suggestion of the committee of the Mer chants’ Exchange appointed at titter Inst meeting to consider freight discrimination, • and that a suitable person lie selected to col late all the information on such points, and to present su'd report to the Interstate Com mission at Washington.” There was also another important matter considered by the exchange. This was Ihr treight facili ties for cotton between (TiniToxtoii and New York. After some discussion a com mittee was appointed to wait upon Capt. Courtenay, of the t 'lyde Line to ask that he would use Ins influence in obtaining better facilities by his line from this point to New York. In the event of u failure of the com mittee to secure front the Clyde Lino what is asked, it was resoived that, anew com mittee, composed a* nlioce with the excep tion of Mi. E c. Williams, be appointed to meet ucommittee for a similar purpose, to be appointed by Hie Merchants’ Exchange, with n view of offering inducement* to oth ers for running additional steamships be tween Charleston and New York.

The Art of Borrowing. “Hello! What are you doing for a liv ing!” was the somewhat contemptuous question put by a reporter of the San Fran cisco Examiner in the corridor of the Bald win Hotel to a well-dressed hut nevertheless indescribably seejy-looking man who had hazarded the remark that it w as a fine day. "1 have iieon doing very well since I saw you last. I have given up work of every kind, for I am really not strong enough for employment ; and. besides, I don't like it. I am earning a good and respectable liveli hood by borrowing now.” replied the young man audresred quite calmly. “By borrowing!’’ exclaimed the reporter. “I should never fancy you could live very luxuriously on an income drawn from that source. You occasionally pay back the money you receive, I suppose!” “I always pay back the money i get the first time of asking,” replied the young man. “The second time I forget to return it. When I begun to negotiate these little necessary loons, I proposed to cancel my debts twice, and allow the creditor to make a permanent investment at the third ven ture; but I soon found that many men ob ject nearly as strong to lending money when they are sure they will get it back, as when they know they are certain to lose it, and, on half a dozen occasions, they refused to accommodate me when I approached them the third time, although they must have seen that I was strictly honest, as I had paid them l>aek the money they had lent me twice already. “I could not afford to be victimized this way too often, you know, so I determined to close the account when I had obtained the second loan. I should make very little money if 1 did it sooner, because no man cares to lend much to a coirqiarative stranger when he first wants to borrow money from him. 1 always make my initial demand a moderate one, never ask ing for more than SI. I don't draw my friend into a retired corner and nervously whisper my request in his ear. If I did that he would almost certainly refuse me. "I take him when he is with his friends and manage, if I can, to get him to intro duce me to some of them. Thus he becomes a sort of sponsor for my respectability. Then I suddenly call ont, as though the thought had just occurred to me, ‘Oh,Jby the way, X., like a good fellow, let me have a couple of dollars until to-morrow after noon. Or, hold on, SI will do. I want to pay a little hill as I go home, and I seem to have made ducks and drakes of my small change to-dav I’ “Everybody in the room hears me; and if X. refuses to lend me the money he is, mor ally, a bolder man thpn I usually find him to be. Punctually at the appointed hour I call upon him the next day and return his dollar, apologizing for having troubled him. I ask him to take a drink, if he is inclined that way. Such uprright behavior, has, of course, a good effect on him, and when, a little later, under very similar surroundings, and laying my plans* of attack in the same way, I strike him for $5, I seldom fail to get it and keep it. “One rule I scrupulously ohserve. I never ask a man for money until by some means or other I have ascertained that he has it. The more there is in his purse the better are my chances of success. It is easier to bor row #5 from a man who has SSO than half a dollar from a man who has only $2. Also, men who are not accustomed to having large sums of money will lend much more freely when they happen to be flush than those whose jiookets are always well lined. “1 never ask for a larger sum than $5. I don’t think it would be honorable to do so —and, besides, I might not get it. “No, I never exhaust my list of friends. On the contrary, I am always increasing it. Before I cut loose from one man by the $5 transfer, I get, him to introduce me to at least two others, and as losses ouch as I have been s|ieaking of are not usually referred to in good society the field is generally clear for new operations. “Now. will you join in something at the bar! No! lam sorry for that. I did not intend to say I had forgotten my purse and ask you to pay for the drinks; and I was hoping that you would introduce me to some of your friends in the hotel.” Seen and Heard in a Bank. From the Chu non Herald. As queer things happen sometimes at the banks as anywhere else. It was not long ago that a galootish-looking fellow walked into the First National and asked for a certificate of deposit He counted out his mouev and handed it through the window. The teller look it, counted it, and threw it into his box. Then taking bis great can vas-covered boon, wherein are entered the signatures of thousands of people who hold certificates of the First National, he threw it around and passed it t hrough for the galoot to sign. The next instant, when the teller looked up, the depositor was half way down the big hanking room with the great book under his arm and making for the door. There were the money boxes to look out, for and the drawers to close, and the clerk could get out in pursuit only by running down and around 100 feet of coun ters. He didn’t try to do all these things. He halloed to the nearest customer he saw outside to run and stop that fellow with the great canvas-covered nook. That was no difficult matler. The man was making his way painfully and slowly down Dearbon street, and came back cheerfully. He thought that that forty-pound book, he said, was nis certificate of deposit. A rather nice looking but matronly look ing voting woman began depositing *IOO a week at the First National Shg came so regularly, always with the same amount, that the young man at the window made hold to congratulate her that she was doiug so well in her business. “Don’t give me away," she said, in a friendly tone. “My husband isabartender.” Notice.
