EACH FOR HIMSELF.
What the Result Will Be When the
Pilots’ Association Breaks Up.
Friday morning the News announced
tli at Captain W. J. Thompson, of the pilot
boat Odell, had given notice to the Pilots'
Company that he intended to withdraw
from the Association October 2. Some of
the pilots were seen yesterday and asked re
garding the effort this withdrawal would
Rave on the Association. The genera!
opinion expressed was that the pool would
tie broken up and every pilot would look
out for himself. “It has been brewing for
mnn> time,” said one old pilot, “and we nave
expected it for u long while. Now, all the
boats w;11 go out and the competition will
be ii velv and not very profitable to all.”
There are eight pilotboats owned here and
thirty pilots. It costs $125 to #l5O per
imtUHi'ran one of the boats. When the
"bool was working one half of the boats
were laid .op. thereby saving to the pilot!,

cording to a long established rule, and fair
Nearly incomes were assured most of tlieni.
With this new departure hll this will lie
changed, and all the boats will be put in
commission. A crew comprises two seamen
hnd a cook and two or three pilots.
Under the old system onfv one lioat had
to be out all the while, and the pilots wore
frequently relieved. Now the severe and
close competition will compel all the boats
to work lively for vessels, and the result
will be that most of them will be out about
all the time. This will cause the men just
Bo much extra expense and work.
"However, we've done it before,” said one

The pilot's life is a hard one at best, and

A WASHOUT ON THETYBEE ROAD.
A High Tide Overflows the Roadbed
and Carries Part of It Away.
The heavy northeastsly winds prevailing
during the last several days have driven the
water into the river, and caused an over
flow of the Tybee railroad. Yesterday’s
lngh tide wanked out a portion of the road
bed near Tybee. A number of passengers
who went out on tb<‘ morning train re
turned about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, not
being able to get to Tybee They were met
at the depot by quite a number of parties
who were awaiting the train to go down in the
afternoon, but the washout could not lie re
paired in time. A number of the morning
visitors carried well-tilled Imskets, intend
ing to spend i he day on Tylme, but returned
w,th them. Some took advantage of the
early altemoon, and went out to Thunder
bolt.

SPOILED THEIR -'SCUBSION."
! A Carload of Colored Excursionists
Searched for Concealed Weapons.
Of late the Central railroad authorities
have received many complaints from resi
j dents along tta' line of the road, to the effect
j that the negro excursionists keep up a re
I volver fusilade all along the line, greatly to
the danger of the people living near the
j track. The Central official* nave been
i greatly annoyed by these practices of
the turbulent negroes, and have decided
Ito stop it at whatever cost. Yesterday
afternoon jutrt ns the shoo-flv train was
about to leave and all the negroes ware in
their car, a squad of police entered the
depot and proceeded to the passenger plat
form. An officer was stationed at the end
of the car before the inmates of it were
aware of any unusual proceedings. No
sooner had they espied the blue coat and
brass buttons than the car was
in a wonderfu. ferment. Heads kept
popping in and out of the windows trying
ascertain the cause of the policemen's ap
pearanee, and one or two young negroes had
such guilty consciences that they attempted
to roll out of the windows head first.
The officers entered the car, and began
searching for contraband weapons. The scene
that ensued was indescribably rich. The
women loudly protested, the men scowled,
and said naughty words under their breath
and even the pickaninnies set up a howl as
their protest. The officers could not
understand why so manv liquor flasks were
found till they happeneif to recollect that
up country was dry, and the negroes were
laying in supplies for a “dry” siege. Had
the search been for whisky the hearts of the
officers would huve burst with
joy at the mighty seizure Bottles of every
size, color and hue; round, square, long,
short, flat—all were filled with the usual
supplies. Oue old woman even had
two cologne bottles filled up with the
strong scented article, and both of them
snugly tucked away. The search brought
to light only two revolvers, and James
Bond and Richard Roberts were escorted to
the barracks, charged with carrying con
cealed weapons contrary to the statutes of
Georgia. The rest of the passengers
smoothed their raiment, and as the train
rolled off the melodious sounds of thirty or
forty voices, all pitched in a high key and
expressing their opinion of Savannah's
ways generally, sounded like a swarm of
angry bees.
NEW YEAR SERVICES.
The Observance of the Occasion Be
gun—The Synagogue Redecorated.
The synagogue was crowded at 6 o’clock
yesterday evening when the New Year
services began The synagogue has been
repaired and redecorated and the congre
gation has just begun to occupz it again,
after the closing mail •. necessary by the re
pairs. Thu walls have been frescoed most
beautifully. The panel; are colored in
neutral tints, and around them are variega
ted borders that givj to the building an ex
quisite finish The place was brilliantly
lighted last night ana it presented a most
pleasing appearance.
The services of the occasion were con
ducted almost exclusively in Hebrew, they
being to a great extent preliminary to those
which will take place to-day. The services
this morning will begin at 9:30 o’clock.

Editor Morning News: Although I have
not seen Maj. Ryals, nor communicated
with him directly or indirectly, for the last
six months, < am constrained to address you
in reference to a petition of liis neighbors
you mention in the Morning News of Sept.

al practice}, a farmer for thirty-odd year*,
I have, during that period, made a scien
tific study of tin* attributes of the soil, atul
contend that, after having been ineoriio
rated with it th. wonderful absorptive
power of the soil would exhaust every jxw
sible offensive or deleterious character of
night soil. Thus the soil of dry closets may
Ik* repeatedly used without becoming
offensive. I have soon night soil convoyed
and used, in densely populated Germany
in a much more offensive minner In Eng
land and elsewhere wider areas than the
farm in question, are irrigat'd with sower
nge.
In regard to the offense oil the olfactory
nerves hi transit, and the facility of remo
val hy the scavenger department. Major
Ryals isolated location, reached by least
frequented roails, would seem to render his
farm the uiost convenient and most favor
able point in tbe vicinity of Savannah for
its deposit.
In conclusion, I may add, I have visited
the plats* several times, and only became
aware of the presence of night soil upon a
close approach to its manure shed.

Tavares, Fia., Thursday He has been over
the route of the proposed extension of his
road, and is greatly pleased at his warm re
ception. He was in Tavares for the pur
pose of a consultation with Major St.
Clair Abrams regarding a union of the pro
posed extension of the B. H., O. C. & A.,
and the line projected from Tavares to Sen
eca via. Mount Dora. He says the citizens
of Eustis offer live miles of right of way
and #IO,OOO if the line runs to that point.
Eustis, Fla., Semi-Tropical: “Work on
the Alabama, Florida and Atlantic railroad
is still progressing, aud we learn from good
authority that the line of the road from its
present point at Lake Joanna will be just
inside the corporate limits of Eustis, thence
across Eustis Meadows, on west of Umatilla,
through the village of Hampton, north of
Lake Yale, running within a mile or so of
Higlev. This is to be the ultimate line, and
Surveyor Fries has his orders to make a
careful survey of this route, and is now so
doing. So this is settled. Now for the next
enterprise.
The Rome railroad running from Kings
ton to Rome, made its returns to the Comp
troller General Saturday. The returns
were made under protest, the official mak
ing them stating that the legality of the tax
would be contested in the courts. It is not
known upon what grounds the protest is
based. The road is texed one half of 1 per
cent, on its net earnings, and as its net earn
ings last year amounted to only #930 85, the
tax imposed will not be very' burdensome
The property return of the road amounted to
$117,133 04, consisting of a road bed 19 8-24
miles long, valued at $85,000, and 4% acres
land: 10 trestles, 11 depots, and tanks, 2 en
gines, 9 freight cars, 3 passenger cars, rep
resenting the difference between the $85,000
and $117,133 04. The road showing this
year is understood to be better than tnat.
Col. R. A. Johnson, General Manager of
the Three C.’s road, says that there are now
in Camden, 8. C., rails, fish-bar plates,
bolts, etc., to the value of $250,000, enough
to complete thirty miles of the track. There
is also u new machine brought from Chicago
for laying the track. It has not been
thought judicious to start track-laying until
a long stretch of the roadbed should have
been graded. In a few days this will be
ready, and work will be begun. The ma
chine and the force of hands can lay two
miles of track a day. but Col. Johnson ex
jiects to averagi- a mile a day, except in
cases of emergency. This will complete the
track laying to Lancaster in a few days,*
and by Nov 1 trains will be running
through to that point . The delay in grading
has been caused by the bad weather in
August, only eight days’ work having beeu
done in that month. The grading is ad
vancing very rapidly between Lancaster
and Rock Hill.

Baso Ball Notes.
In the contest for the pennants the
League record shows that the Detroit* are
first and sure to bo the winners, as they
have most of their unplayed games to be
played at home. Tho Chicago’s are a pool
second, with the contest for third place close
between New York and Philadel
phia. Iu the American Association
the score shows the St. Louis
Browns so far ahead that they will un
doubtedly Ihi tin* winners, with Cincinnati
second and Louisville close after her. The
contest in the league is decidedly closer and
more interesting than in the association,
which is very much one sided, and the per
centages, outside of the St. Louis Browns,
do not show up well in comparison with the
league.
According to the Detroit Free Press,
PreMdents Spalding, Brush. Nimiok, Hewitt,

CYCLONES AND TORNADOES.
The Difference Between the Two
Great Atmospheric Terrors.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
In common speech no difference is recog
nized between these two classes of storms,
but accurately speaking they are essentially
different. The cyclone is an ocean storm,
it has its origin in the tropical seas of both
hemispheres and moves toward the north.
The entire body of wind, or storm, has for
its path a parabolic curve. The
cyclones of the western hemis
phere originate in the West Indies,
travel northwest until they reach a-iout
30°, latitude north, then curve to the north
tast and continue in that direction —some
times at some distance off' the coast and some
times on the shore, finally trending ocean
ward and disappearing in the vicinity of
50‘, latitude north. The diameter of the
storm varies from several hundred to over
1,000 miles, and its velocity is from sixty to
eighty niik-s an hour. At no point does the
air whirl in a circle, but there is a tendency
of the entire body of the storm to revolve
around the point of lowest barometer. As
a rule the velocity of the wind increases
gradually till it culminates in a fierce in
tensity of movement that will wreck the
largest ships. In the actual centre of the
storm there is a dead calm.
Cyclones occur most frequently lietween
August and November. In the eastern
hemisphere they form in the vicinity of the
Philippine Islands, moving thence north
westward to the Asiatic coast, and then
curving to the non heart over the adjacent
seas and islands They are there known as
typhoons The origin in both hemispheres
can be placed at about ten to
twelve degrees north of the equa
tor, between the tielt of calms and
the southern limit of the trade winds.
The tornado, on the other hand, is always
a land storm. Its motion is always from
southwest to northeast, and its path varies
from a few yards to eighty rods in width.
The moving air always makes its appear
ance in the form of a funnel-shaped cloud,
the small end drawing near to the earth,
and revolves about a central, vertical axis
with inconceivable and always in
a right to left direction, or opposite to the
movement of the hands of a watch. With
scarce an exception the tornado occurs in
the afternoon, just when the hottest part of
the day is over. It is caused by heat, that
is, by the contact of currents of low tem
perature from the north with those of ex
tremely high temperature from the south.
The struggle of these atmospheric forces
toward an equilibrium of temperature pro
duces the mass of swiftly whirling air which
we know as the tornado cloud The veloc
ity of the particles of air in this mass is so
great that it is difficult so estimate it, but it
is believed to be from 100 to 500 miles an
hour, and is sometimes, no doubt, even
greater than this.
Observers note four motions of the tor
nado cloud. 1, the gyratory movement of
its air particles: 2, the onward motion of the
storm: 8, the rising and falling movement
of the cloud, aud 4, its oscillation or sway
ing from side to side, it is also stated that
the force of the tornado is constant, that it
does not seem to spend itself, as the phrase
is, by the destruction of the strongest buila
ings, but the cloud disappears bv going from
the earth upward, evidently being acted
upon by forces in the upper region of the
atmosphere.
Close observation such as has been made
of many tornadoes under the direction of
the Signal Service, seems to show that
electricity is not an active cause of the tor
nado, but is often present as an accompani
ment, being generated by the exceedingly
rapid motion of the” air. Hail al
ways accompanies a tornado, being
formed by the same cause, that
is the rapid condensation of the moisture of
southern winds by contaact with cold north
ern currents Lightning and thunder never
attend on the tornado cloud itself, but some
times appear in the region of other outside
clouds, while the tornado cloud is in mo
tion.
To conclude, we quote from the recently
published work of Lieut Finley, of the Sig
nal Service on "Tornadoes”—to which we
are indebted for the facts summarized above
—the following description of the forma
tion of a tornado cloud; “Two currents of
air approaching each other from opposite
points will not come directly together, lie
cause of the influence of the relative motion
of the earth The mass of air coming from
the South would have a greater ve
locity eastward than that coming
from the North. Therefore, instead
of meeting each other in a direct
line'the two currents will form an angle at
their intersection, and the combination of
the two masses will give rise to a rotation
in a direction contrary to the hands of a
watch with itas face upward. These condi
tions account for the spiral movement of the
air currents and the formation of the vor
tex in the tornado. The cold air from the
northward will under-run the warmer air
from the southward, because of the differ
ence in the density of the two masses, and
as a result will aid in the formation of the
whirl.”

the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hy

acting as a tonic to the digestive aifd entire

combined, and the effect is wonderful.

BAKING POWDER.
A SCIENTIFIC FIST.
“Royal” lire only Baking Powder Free from
Lime and Absolutely Pure.
Lime.is the serious defect found in most of the cream of
tartar baking powders. Asa matter of fact, chemical analysis
has found it in all such powders except the “ Royal.” Its
presence is caused by the use of adulterated cream of tartar in
the effort to reduce their cost of production.
Lime adds to the weight, while it detracts from the strength
of the baking powder. It also renders the food less wholesome,
giving rise to dyspepsia and kindred ailments. Baking powders
containing lime produce less leavening gas, and therefore in use
are more expensive than a first-class, pure article.
The Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar
that is first specially refined and made chemically pure. No
tartrate of lime or other impurity can find its way into the
“Royal,” and to this fact its great superiority in strength, whole
someness f keeping quality is due.
All this adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing the
Royal Baking Powder, but as all its ingredients are selected and
prepared with the same precise care and regardless of labor or
expense, an article is produced that is free from every extraneous
substance—“absolutely pure.” Nor does it contain any ingredi
ents except those necessary to make a pure, wholesome and per
fect baking powder.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, after analyzing the cream of tartar used
by the various baking powders of the market, reported os follows:
“I have examined the cream of tartar manufactured for and
used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in their baking
powder, and find it to be perfectly pure and free from lime in any
form.”
Prof. Love, who made the analyses of baking powders for
the N. Y. State Board of Health, as well as for the Government,
certifies to the purity and wholesomeness of the Royal.
Dr. E. H. Bartley, chemist of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Depart
ment of Health, says : “ I have recently analyzed samples of the
Royal Baking Powder purchased by myself in the stores of this
city, and find it free from lime in any form.”
Bread, cake, biscuits, etc., prepared with Royal Baking
Powder, will be lighter, sweeter and more wholesome than if
made with any other baking powder or leavening agent.
