They are turned loose in the morn ing ami a shepherd dog drives them to pasture. In the evening they come homo without being driven. Warren square is a great place for children and twioe a day they have to scamper away to get out of the path of the cows. One father in the neighborhood has a shotgun loaded with buckshot and he vows that the first time the cows scare his children he will shoot one of them at least. The matter has been reported to the police several times, but they have not seen fit to take any action. FELL NINETY FEET. Remarkable Escape from Death of a Norwegian Sailor. Capt. Walter Thompson, of the pilot boat Mary Odell, brought to the city last night the news of a most remarkable escape of a sailor from a horrible death. The Norwo fian bark Telemach was lying at Venus oint waiting the arrival of Capt. Thomp son to pilot her to sea. A sailor named To bias Turkleeen, a Norwegian, was sent aloft and while he was on the maintop gallant yard he lost his hold and fell. During Ins rapid flight to the deck lie struck the rig ging several times, but at last fell a distance of thirty feet clear, touching nothing until he struck the deck. The Captain and sailors rushed to him, expecting, of course, to find nothing but his mangled remains, but instead of that they were surprised to see him arise and stand up. He was pale as a eorjise, but no bones were broken. Turkleeen was too badly scared to speak for awhile, but after a moment he said tiiat ho did not feel hurt anywhere. He hail not lost a drop of blood and he did not seein to l>e suffering from any internal injuries. He was stripped ami carefully examined, and the only marks upon him were a few red spots that had been made by t he ropes wher. ho struck tho rigging. The Captain wanted to send the man back to Savannah, but he protested against being left here, and finally he was pel milled to continue on the voyage to Bu cnoß Ayres as an able-bodied seaman. Turk leoen is a very large man, weighing in the neighborhood of IT."' pourois. He fell ninety feet. Striking the rigging broke the fall to a certain extent, but it is safe to say that' Turkleeen would not consent to repeat the full and trust, to the rigging to save him j from death. FREED FROM TROUBLE. Death of Mrs. I. S. K. Axson-Her Funeral To-Day. Mrs. Rebecca Longstreet Axson, wife of Rev. I. S. K. Axson, of tho Independent Presbyterian church, died yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock at the residence of her son, Mr. Iliuidolph Axson, on Hall street. Mrs. Axson was born in Colum bia, S.

The Stockholders of the Savannah Company Hold a Lively Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Burglar Alarm Company last night, at Metropolitan Hal), was quite mi animated and lengthy affair. It was 10:80 o’clock when the meeting adjourned.

Progress of Repairs on the Independ ent Presbyterian Church. The stately edifice of the Independent Presbyterian congregation on South Broad and Bull streets, will appear almost a now church, when tho repairs now in progress aro completed. Tho exterior lias been cleaned anil painted from the foundation walls to the pinnacle of the steeple. Tlie yard in front has lieon cleaned up and embellished, and tho neat iron fence .sur rounding tho property has lieen painted a pretty shade of green. It is in the interior, however, that the improvements are most noticeable. The entire interior woods are now of a beautiful snowy whiteness. The tinted rolled cathedral glass ovals over the upper windows furnish ulunit tho only color to be seen. The main chandelier Is of band some design, of brass, and will, with tho side lights, give ample light, to the entire auditorium. The gas jets aro in the form of white wax tapers. The centre aisle and the cross aisle in front of the pulpit aro to be laid with Georgia tile. This work is nearly finished, as is also the upholstery. Altogether the interior pre sents a handsome appearance, and the committee in charge of the work express themselves as well satisfied. The work will lie finished, practically, by Oct. I. The big now organ, which is expected about Nov. 1, will bo placed in the gallery, where tho old one was, but it will lie far different ly arranged. The new organ is adoubleor gnn, so-called, [t is 48 feet in length over all, with a 33 foot space in the the centre of the choir. Tho organist will sit in the cen tre, facing tho choir, whilo they will face tlio pulpit It will lie a handsome instru ment, of great power and pitch. George H. Hutchings, of Boson, the celebrated church organ builder, is constructing it. Before Dr. Bacon left for the North he consulted with a number of his congrega tion, in regard to n memorial clock or tablet in memory of Miss Telfair, who gave so much to this church. Tho doctor drew a design, which ploased those who saw it very much In the centre was a Inc simile of the front of the church building, on which is the dial of the clock. At the right were tho outlines of the Telfair Hospital, and on the left those of the art acaleniyt With these for a back ground, three emblematic groups were Keen Art, Worship and Charity, represented by three female figures. The Doctor whs directed to go ahead, and judging from an extract from the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Timrs, of Sept. 10, he has made good progress in the matter. Tho extract alluded to is as follows: “John Todd Hill, who stands in the first rank of American wood carvers, lias ro ceivedea commission from a Presbyterian church in Havammii for a memorial clock, intended by the church to commemorate the gifts and virtues of a deceased patroness, whose endowments include a church, a hos pital and an art school. Mr. Hill’s prelimi nary design in plaster shows a facade of the church bearing a dial of the clock; on the right is the hospital building, on the left the art school. These form the background for three figures, syinlmlizing art, worship mid charity. The design is simple but highly descriptive and full of meaning. The carv ing will lie dune in cherry, and will occupy a place at the head of tho church opposite the entrance. “Mr. Todd’s work in carving is to lie found in some of the most artistic of Ameri can houses at Newport and elsewhere. It lias been his aim to lift wood carving into something more artistic than it has been hitherto, and lie has worked with singular energy to that end. He has many pupils of both sexes, some of whom are looking for ward to a professional career and others to a simple artistic pleasure. Wood carving has. in fact, become something of a “fad” in Now York, and a very profitable fad it is. Even poor wood carving is decorative. It at least will lie wliat it appears to be, which we cannot, say for many of tlie deco rative features of modern houses. “Mr. Hill’s higher ambitions are in the direction of sculpture, and his work in mar ble and bronze indicates a perception and capacity that assures substantial attain ment He is about going abroad for special study.” DISEASE AMONG HORSES. Glanders Broken Out In the Upper Part of the County. The keeper of a livery stable yesterday reported to Col. R. I). Walker, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, that there were several cases of glanders among horses in the upper portion of tho county. It seems that the fatal disease bus made its up|>earanee here lately and that there is more than was at first supposed. A caie appeared within the city limits but a short time ago and, in accordance with the State law, the horse that suffered with it was driven out of the city and killed. Five horses were sold in Savannah to a man who lives at Mouteith Station for S3OO and they were taken to Mouteith. One of them was sold back to Savannah for $350, but tho horse did not sweat well and lie was re turned to the seller. It has since been said that all five of those horses have developed glanders, and that accounts for tho low figures put upon them at tho first salt 1 . Two horses were sold to a farmer living at sta tion No. 3 on tlie Central railroad, and both of them have developed glanders. The State law requires that all animals afflicted with glanders shall lie killed as soon as the disease is discovered because tho horse can not be cured, and the disease may become epidemic. If the virus Unit is discluirged should get into a cut or sore upon a human being, he, too, would take the disease and nothing could save him. If glanders gets into u stable the only way to got it out, horsemen say. is to burn the stable down. The State law is rigid, mid there is also a city ordinance equally severe, but there is no county pro vision, and the county commissioners, therefore, have no power to act. THE BREAK REPAIRED. Trains Again Running on tho Tybeo Line—Where the Trouble Occurred. The first train since Inst Sunday went over the Tytee railway yesterday. The break was on M"<Juoen’s Island at about the same place where tho previous trouble oc curred.

The liassenger business on (he Georgia Midland one day last week was over B , iUO. The schooner Brooxxe B. Rokes has been chartered to load railroad iron at Philadel phia for Paiatka, Fla. The Frank M. Howes is loading at Baltimore merchandise for Jacksonville. • It is rumored that the Richmond and Danville system has sold the Northeastern railroad to strong parties upon guarantee of completion to Knoxville, Tenn. If true, this means a great deal for Georgia, says the Columbus Sun. The meeting of the directors and others in terested in the newly contemplated rail road —tho Jacksonville, Manatee and Gulf — of which Col. Hall Drnno is President, called Wednesday in Jacksonville, Fla., was not held, owing to the absence of cer tain parties. It was adjourned over until another day. Mr. T. J. Bernard, formerly of Athens, and one of the cleverest railroad men in the country, has been promoted, and this time lie is way up the ladder, and his territory extends over a big batch of States in this glorious Union, says the Augusta News. An official notice from the freight department of promotion, has just reached us signed by T. 8. Davant, General Freight Agent, anil approved by Sol Haas, Traffic Manuger, in which among other names that of Mr. ller naril appears ns General Freight Agent, with genei al office at St. Louis. He has six assistants in liis territory, and our friend is put in charge of tho States of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Minnesota, Illinois (except Chicago), Wisconsin, Middle Ten nessee, Western Kentucky, Georgia. Evans ville, lnd., North Carolina and South Caro lina. Not “Scooped” Yet. Having repeatedly heard in the past few days that the Central had “scooped” the Georgia Midland, we thought it tho easiest and most satisfactory way to obtain the facts to interview Mr. Guessby Jordan. A reporter of tho Columbus Enquirer called at liis office Wednesday and asked: “Have you heard the stories about the Midland being sold out?” “Oh, yes, several times; but I suppose it was started as a joke. I scarcely think any one seriously believes that, but if you wish you can deny it.” “Has tho Central any control of the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad in any way F’ “None whatever, neither directly, indi rectly, inferentially or otherwise.” “Your road and the Central are running a through passenger coach together to At lanta. Does that mean anything?” “It means better facilities for tho public, an entrance into the union depot at Atlanta for the Midland and a haul from Griffin to Atlanta for the Central, whereas if we went to McDonough they would get nothing. If vou will n member, tho Central also pulls a through car on tho same train that brings ours, one for the Western and Atlantic railroad, one for the Nashville and Chat tanooga railroad, and also one for the Brunswick and Western, but it controls none of those roads.” “Does tho Control’s friends own any of the construction company’s stock l" “Not one dollar, nor do I suppose they wish to.” “Are you working harmoniously with the East Tennessee road ?” “Yes, and we are doing quite a largo busi ness on the upper end of our line in through freights.” “Have you anything else to say on the subject?” •‘Nothing, except we are prepared to re ceive and forward all business offered. Co lumbus is largely interested in the Mid land’s success. It takas business to keep a railroad alive and independent. We hope to receive a full share of the people's patron age. There is no tetter road in the South, and none more deserving success.” “We will toll our readers if you say so.” “All right: it is their interest and ours. The Georgia Midland railroad has done more for Columbus than all other agencies combined during the past year. It would be fair to have wliat gratitude it is entitled to take a tangible, practicable shapo.” OVER IN CHARLESTON. What Is Going on in the South Caro lina Metropolis. A carload of bananas has been received in the city from Now Orleans. They came originally from Honduras. W. W. Perkins, a young brakenianon the South Carolina railway, was accidentally killed on the road Wednesday morning. He was coming down on the through freight train from Columbia. The train parted sud denly near Orangeburg, and he was precipi tated from the ton of his car by the force of the separation auu his neck was broken. The Venetian display in the barter on gala week will be made up largely of pilot boats and yachts, decorated ami illuminated with Chinese lanterns, the smaller craft to be included in the same. The shipping at anchor and lying at the various wharves will be requested to join in tho illumination. This matter has been placed in the hands of Capt. James Armstrong, Jr., Henry Card, Henry Cheves, William Roach, Jr., Ansley D. Cohen, Samuel G. Bringloe, C. W. Townsend, S. Y. Tapper, Jr., William H. Burke, Jr., and James Riley. Mr. A. M. Haywood, Colonel and Aide de-Camp of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias, arrived here Wednesday for the purpose of organizing a uniform rank of the order in Charleston. The Knights of Pythias have become one of the mast popu lar and successful secret enters in this coun try. There are seven branches of tbe order in South Carolina. Two of these—-the Stonewall and Carolina Lodges—have a membership of about 375, and aro receiving large accessions every week. The uniform raiik is one of the most attractive features of the order, its object being to stimulate tho interest of members and to bring them more closely together.

JUSTICES HAVE CARES. SOME OF THE PETTY ANNOYANCES THEY HAVE TO ENDURE. ! Mrs. Brown Sues Mrs. Jones and Acts i As Her Own Attorney—A Scene During tbe Trial The Magistrate and His Officials Driven from the Court Room. There are many things that worry and annoy Justices of the Peace during tho trials of petty eases, but the ordinary tribulations that have to bo borne sink into insignifi cance beside the multitude that arises when two women are suing and acting as their own attorneys. Such a case was tried be fore a magistrate yesterday afternoon. The Justice, a detective and a constable were in the office, and the plaintiff, the defendant, and the latter’s husband. They will be call ed Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones, because those were not their names. Mrs. Brown gives music lessons, arid hail for some time been Instructing Mrs. Jones in the art over which one of the nine Muses presides, and she claimed that Mrs. Jones fuiled to com pensate her for one month’s services. Hence, the suit. When the ease was called both Mrs. Brown anil Mrs. Jones announced themselves ready, and the Justice told them to proceed. Mrs. Brown made the state ment that Mrs. Jones was indebted to her for one month’s lessons, and she casually re marked that she wanted the money. When she concluded her statement Mr. Jones te ?;an to cross-examine her but he did not get ar into it. “How many lessons did you give that month?” he asked, but before Mrs. Brown could answer, Mrs. Jones-aid. “Mr. Jones, you don’t know anything about this, and 1 wish you would keep still.” It is hardly nec sary to add, that Mj-. Jones kept still. Mi's. Jones then turned to the Justice and said, “Judge 1 don’t owe this woman a cent. I pay my bills regularly on tho first of the month. I took lessons from her just because she said that her husband teat her and would not take care of her aud —•” “I didn’t say any such thing and you know—” “Silence!” commanded the Justice. “Mrs. Brown,” he said, “Airs. Jones is making her statement now. and you must permit her to make it without interruption.” “Well, she’s not telling the truth'” The Justice is very nervous, and this little scene upset him completely. He fidgeted in his chair, and with difficulty fixed his atten tion on the case. Mrs. Jones resumed her testimony, and said; “After I had token music lessons just to help her along—” “You didn’t,” broke in Mis. Brown. The Justice grew more nervous. “She stole my music,” continued Mrs. Jones. “I didn’t do anything of the kind, and you know you arc not tolling the truth,” screamed Sirs, Brown.” The Justice was pale. “Another one of my scholars stole that music from me anil I found it at Mrs. Jones'. Judge, that woman would swear to anything.” The Justice thought someone was stick ing pins and needles in him. “You know that’s a—a story,” retorted Mrs. Jones. “It ain’t.” “It is.” “It ain’t,” they both screamed. “I dismiss tho case,” yelled the Justice, frantically, as he made a bold dash between the two women and succeeded in gaining the door. The detective followed him out and hid in a barber shop. The Constable went out of the back door and has not lieen seen since. Half an hour later the Justice walked on tip-toe, keeping close to the walls, and when he reached liis door he peeped cautiously in, but the office was deserted. How the war ended remains a deep, dark mystery, but the back door hinges of that office have been greased and a boy now stands in front to warn the Justice if either Mrs. Brown or Mis. Jones heaves in sight. j-iocal Personal. Mr. Asbury Hull, formerly of this city, is hero on a visit. Ho is now in business in Anniston, Ala. Mr. W. F.

When Queen Bees Ate a Whole Goose —A Boat Race and Love Story. The New York Evening Post has the fol lowing notes of September traditions: A curious English custom of Michaelmas is said to have originated with Queen Eliza beth. On this day in 158 H she heard of a victory gained by the English over the Spaniards. The news so stimulated her ap petite that she consumed a whole goose. Eating Michael’s goose became over after an established usage. This story, however is open to doubt; the ancients sacrificed geese to Proserpine, goddess of the dead; and the Michael's goose seems to lie a survi val from those times. All offerings to the dead, sacrifices and intercessions in their be half wore generally made at this season, when vegetation begins to disappear. For the death of nature reminds men of the de parted. As an example, from Christian times masses were read m Saxony on a cer tain Sunday in September for the deliver ance of departed souls from purgatory. Sept. S is the anniversary of the birth of the Virgin. A lsiat race always took place in Leghorn in honor of the (lav —perhaps because the Virgin as Santa Maria Della Navicula presides over the watery element. An interesting account of one of these boat races is handed down. While bridges, quays, balconies, windows, towers and roofs along the l iver front are filling with specta tors, the contestants in their little harks are assembling at the starting point. The prize is 50 lire, given by the merchants of the town. At the signal the boats dart forward amid encouraging cries from thousands of throats. Some clash together, and their occupants strive to get free, hurling their threats and curses at each other meanwhile. Soon two are seen taking the lead, the most skillful boatmen on the river, Ignatio and Michele. A frailer craft follows closely. It is driven forward by a dark, powerful young fellow, with ribbons stream ing from his shoulders and a wedding garland bound around him. He is striving for a greater prize than 50 lire. The goal is in sight; and now as he passes a handkerchief flutters a greeting to him from the embankment. He recognizes the, token, and gathers his strength for the final effort. His hope seems in vain, for the two in advance maintain their lead. Suddenly, however, one attempts to head off the other. The two boats dash together. In the ensuing struggle both drift to one side. The lover sees his advantage, shoots ahead in the clear space, and amid loud huzzas reaches the goal victorious. He receives the 50 lire, but the prize for which he has striven is a rosy-cheeked girl with dark curling hair, who rushes forward to greet her hero. She sinks, half weeping, half laughing, into his arms. Her father had promised her to him in marriage provided lie won the race.

Chances in the drawings arc eagerly taken by all classes. How many persons have been suddenly made rich by this institution would be hard to tell —the number would almost seem in credible. It can be safely said, however, that residents of every State in the Union have profited by it. One of the many made happy by the last drawing was VV. 11. An thony, a dairyman of Houston, Tex., who held one-tenth of No. 50,155, which drew the capital prize of $150,000, collected by Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express through the firm of T. W. House, of Houston. The other tenth of this ticket was held by Mr. George H. Zapp, of the same place. This gentleman, accompanied by his son. arrived in the city Wednesday night, and on presenting his ticket at the company’s office, the following morning, was handed a check on the New Orleans National Bank. He was greatly in need of the money, and on the receipt of the news of his good luck he fairly wept with joy. Mr. Zapp is a na tive of Germany, but for the past eight years lias made his home in Houston, where he has been clerking in a cotton press. He is a large, fine looking man, 55 years of age, and has a wife and three children. He has not decided what use he will make of his newly found fortune, hut will look out for some profitable way of investing it. Mr. Zapp has visited New Orleans before, and will remain hare several days to renew old acquaintances. Apropos of Mr. Zapp’s visit to this city it might be mentioned that his nephew, Mr. Orsini Zapp, of Hound Top, Tex., came here on a similar errand in May, 1885. He was also the winner of $15,000. The money ho put out in laud and stock in Fayette county, Texas. To-day he is one of the most promi nent farmers in that section of the country, and is blessed with a happy family and has all the comforts of life. An investment of $1 in the Louisiana State Lottery started him on the road to prosperity. —New Or leans Piooyune, Aug. 18. High Class Bronze Statuary, Etc. Our senior is back from New York.
