8 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!, ' ■**’ a Whole, HJiIW * 'The fees were divided among ail the pilots ac 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 Old manner, with a chuckle,“and I ainsure we can do it again The (mol has been in existence two years, and most of the mem bers are well satisfieu. A trial or the other plan will, if I mistake no\ give the dissatis Bed ones still greater - vts .> to feel discon tented. Our yearly incomes are small enough anvwa/, and it seems to me we Should work together and save every ex pense. But others think differently and I will wait paitently to see how long they will like the new order of thing i " The pilot's life is a hard one at best, and the perils and hardship* they are exposed to are not known to the average landsman. Besides tile discomforts of such a life, they are exjioaed to flangers of the storm, and liable to be sunk or driven hundreds of miles out to sea; then, again, many a pilot boat has been run down by huge ocean ves sels, and not u plank left of her. In their little cockle-shells of row boats they Will ride mountainous seas to mount the decks of the incoming vessel, and at all times, day or night, in calms or storms, they are ready and on the qui vive to at tend to their duty. Their trim and saucy - looking craft, of 30 to 60 tons burden, are tnet with every where, and the ship entering a strange harbor never meets a better friend than when "sail. O,” from the lookout is followed by "pilot boat No. 3, sir,” and the pilot conies aboard. CONCERNING THE WEATHER. The Cool Wave to Continue—The Cyclone Still in the Gulf. The maximum tempei ature here yester day was 78', aid the average 74’, which >vas 2° belo\ y- normal. In the cotton belt the te.r.pera i-v i fell decidedly, Live Oak, Fla. >petiss 90' as the highest. Thomasville reported a minimum of 61’, which was the low est in this district Rain fell in Waycross to the extent of .30 inches. The 10 o’clock reports last night showed the temperature to lie the lowest in the upper lake region, Marquette, Mich., reporting fß\ The highest was 83’ in the Rio Grande valley. All the cotton districts save the Augusta, Charleston, Little Rock and Wilmington districts reported rainfall. Rain feli in Florida, the Gulf States, the Ohio valley, and in Tennessee. The barometer was the highest last night over the New England States and lowest in the extreme North west. Last evening the observer here re ceived the following telegram from Wash ington: Washington. D. C.. Sept. 18 Northeast storm signals are ordered up at Corpus christi, Galveston. New Orleans, Mobile, and Pensacola The cyclone reported Saturday a- moving into the Gulf, is apparently approach ing the central and western gulf coast. North eastern- gales are indicated except on Southern Texas coast, where northerly gales may be ex pected. with rain. Though the cyclonic disturbance is still In the Gulf, it has not yet approached suffi ciently near here to cause any low readings of the barometer. By to morrow, probably, it can be definitely placed and its course more clearly defined. The indications tire that cool weather will continue for several days. 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. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and There by the News Reporters. DeKalh Lodge No. 9, I. O. O. F., meets this evening. Clinton Lodge. No. 54, F. and A. M. will hold a regular communication this evening. The meeting of the Knilrnnd Ix>an Asso ciation will be held to-night and the Treas urer's annual report will be read. Tho tide yesterday was very high, the heavy nothea-lerly winds of the past throe days having blown the water into the river. The members of the Workingmen's Union Association will nr*et in their hall to-day to attend the funeral of the late Alexander Brown. There is some apprehension of burglai-s at White Bluff. It is thought that several at tempts huve tieen made to enter houses. Greater care than ever before, therefore, is taken in fastening the houses at night. Eight arrests were made by the police in the twenty-four hours ending at 1 o’clock this morning. All were for disorderly con duct. Last night was a very quiet Biinday evening and very little disorder was ob served. It is stated that a colored man, who ac comjiaiiied a Savannah fishing party from Whip* Bluff pi some point on the const last week, bad one of the fingers of his right hand bitten partially otr by a shark, lie was leaning over the side of the boat wash ing his hands when along came a shark and nipped Ins finger as stati-d. The finger was bitten through the I sine. The prospect is tiiat it will have to be amputated. An Unfortunate Eoy. Tbe young lad, L. A.

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. THE ADVANTAGES OF TYBEE. Its Importance, Commercially and Otherwise, Pointed Out. The Tybee Beach Company has issued a prospectus, which is published in another column, in which it sets forth the advant ages of Tybee Island, and shows how im portant the island must in the near future, both as a commercial point and a seaside resort. natural advant ages that are unsurpassed by any other point upon the roast, it wili soon be improved and rr.ar a<ed so tha; the entire benefit may be reaped from those natural qualifications which give it valu.. The company is capitalized at #IOO,OOO, divided into shares of #IOO eaeh. Of these 500 shares are represented by ih > the Ocean House, the remainder by building lots and other real property possessions. The com pany proposes to sell 500 shares, and the money thus realized will be spent in improving the island, and in erecting a new' hotel which will be amply large to comfortably accommo date from 300 to 400 guests. In addition it will put up commodious pavilions and both houses, cottages for rent or sale, and will also enlarge the Ocean House, and pre pare for the entertainment of the throngs that are certain to gather there next sum mer. No single subscription to more than five shares of stock will be received, and if the subscriptions should exceed the aggregate amount of stock of ered, all subscriptions for more than one share will be scaled down pro|>ortion ately. The object of this is to intei-est as large a nurnlier of jieopl* as possible in the enterprise The prospectus points out that with an enlarged and anew hotel with privileges that oiti br let for a consideration, supplemented by the sale of lots, it is reasonable to suppose that in a few years the investors will have their investments back, with constantly increas ing dividends meanwhile and afterwards. MAJ. RYALS AND HIS NEIGHBORS. Dr. Oemler Says a Word on the Night Soil Issue. 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. 17. A physician, (though not in profession 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. A. Okmi.kh.

Levy A. bro.'s, . Ml Cong l ess street ! THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1887. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. The accident that was reported at Cherry Valley, Ga., on Sept. 14, was on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad instead of the Western and Atlantic. The Nashville, Florence and Sheffield rail road company have made a mortgage to the Central Trust Company, of New York, for $2,500,000 for the completion of the road and branches and to pay bonded and float ing debts. There is a rumor in Athens to the effect that Hon. James M. Smith has negotiated a lease of his convicts, and will take them from work on the Mai’on and Athens road. The company is several months behind with the contractors, and they are thoroughly disgusted with this unbusinesslike way of doing business. Athens Banner-44’atchmnn. We lenrn that for several days past the counsel for the minority stockholders of the Northeast ern railroad and Judge W. B. Thomas have been in conference, looking to a settlement of the trouble. We are anxious that this matter should be compromised, that Judge Thomas might have au opportunity to build his road. Eatonton Messenger: The Eatonton aud Gordon branch is ih great need of a freight train and ought to have it at once. By reason of the hiavy freights the passenger train has recently been arriving from an hour to an hour and a half behind schedule time The schedule as now operated is Train leave* at 8;:t0; arrives when it can. For some seasons past Eatonton has had a freight train duriug the fall. We presume she will have one this season. If so, the time lor putting it in force has arrived. Major Hollister, ot the Blue Spring, Orange City an l Atlantic Railroad, was m 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.

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, and Stearns are in favor of the percentage plan of dividing the receipts. Presidents Moden and Reach are opposed. It reouires six votes to carry the measure through and the whole thing hinges on tho action that will he taken hy President Day, of Uio New York club. Games Yesterday.

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.” Charleston Facts A number of chip-masters took alarm at the weather and carried their vessels around to anchorage in the Ashley river Saturday 'afternoon. It really looks as if there w-ill be no end to tho watermelon, crop. Another carload of the fruit was received from Barnwell Saturday. A meeting of the Charleston Musical As sociation will be held Tile-day to receive the reports of those who have the reorganiza tion of the Association in charge. Postmaster Mow-ry received Saturday morning by telegraph from the Postoftic- Department instructions to establish an ad ditional mail service between Charleston and Augusta, which will be of much ad vantage to the business and social interests of the two cities. This has been done at the suggestion of Postntaster Mowrv for the accommodation of the public of both cities. A cool burglar gang seems to lie operat ing in Charleston, judging from the re ports of robberies just made public. Mr. D. Jennings’ residence was enter'd last Thursday and several hundred dollars worth of silverware stolen. They also enjoyed a hearty meal in the dining-room, selecting the I^it in the larder. Mr. John Bennett’s residence was also entered anil valuable jewelry stolen Mr. George \V. Quintard, the well known ship-owner of Netv York, is now in Charles ton. He and Mr. Englis, the purchaser of the City of Atlanta and tbe City of Colum bia, were the holders of the largest mort gages against those vessels, and the impres sion is now current that it is Mr. Quinta rd's object either to establish u new line of steam*hi|>s between this city and New York or to take a prominent part in the project. Ho was very- non-committal on the subject and said little regarding bis plans. A meet ing will I** held to day and probably some arrangement made. Mr. M. D.

Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hy pophosohites; the one supplying strength and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and acting as a tonic to the digestive aifd entire system. But in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two are combined, and the effect is wonderful. Thousands who have derived no permanent benefit from other preparations have been cured by this. Scott’s Emul sion is perfectly palatable and is easily di gested by those who cannot tolerato plain Cod Liver Oil. At Estill’s Nows Depot.

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.
