MIXED rr BY TWO TIMES.
THE CONFUSION SAVANNAHS
DOUBLE SYSTEM CAUSES.
The Way Travelers Look At It-Time
Lost at the Depots Waiting for
Trains—Employers Want a Uniform
System Aldermen Who Voted to
Abolish Standard Time Willing to
Give it Another Trial.
There were two passengers on the steam
ship City of Augusta, whieh arrived from
New York yesterday morning, who were
not at all eareful of the language they used
in speaking of the double tine system of
Savannah. They would never have been
mistaken for divinity students by any one
who might have overheard their conversa
tion. When they left the steamer they in
quired what time it was and were told 7
o'rloek. They nest asked wliat time the
Central train left and the reply
was 7:10 o’cloek. They jumped into
a carnage, offered the driver double fare to
drive his horses as fast as they could go,
and arrived at the denot just in time, ns
they thought, to catch the train. They
made a break for the train, and when they
reached thestepiof thecoach they remarked
with a satisfied smile that “they hail to
hustle to make it but they got there all the
•anie. - ’
THERE AKKAD OK TIME.
“Why we don't go for 38 minutes yet,”
remarked the conductor who was standing
by. Tile smile disappearis! from their faces
and a stare succeeded. They asked why,
and the conductor said that the train left on
standam time, and they hud city time.
Then the travelers turned loose. They
arnred the city time, and they abused stand
ard time, and they wanted to kick each nth
er for paying double fare and most of all
they abused the city which they thought
was p long way tichind the age. Such
scenes and similar ones occur every day Ire
can.-.* of the double time system, and many
an Wiur is wasted at the depots because
tra *elersdon't understand it.
The Southern Express Company is con
stantly annoyed. People who do not use
standard time at all, and never think about
it, have at times packages to send off by ex
press. They may not have them ready until
late, and noticing the city time, they think
there are but a few minutes to spare. They
telephone for the express wagon to come in
a hurry, and when it gets there the driver
finds that someone has mistaken city for
railroad time, and that instead of being in a
great hurry there is plenty of time to span-.
KEEPING TRACK OF THE HOURS.
Another annoyance which the express
company has to put up with is the depar
ture of the Baltimore ships by city time.
All other lines of transportation except the
Baltimore Steamship line use standard time,
and in the express office no one ever thinks
of city time except when the Baltimore
ships are going out. That necessitates spe
cial attention and is sometimes a great in
convenience.
The hotel men say that they wish the city
would do away with the suoerfluous time,
for it would save a great deal of annoyance
and the answering of an enormous number
of questions. Pcftple ask what time the
trains leave, and they tell them the hour
and always add, “Standard time. - ’ That
phrase attracts attention, and strangers ask
whether there is any other time. On re
ceiving an affirmative answer they
look at the dock and want to know
whether that is standard or city time. Then
they want to know how many minutes dif
ference there are. Then whether city time
is slower or faster than standard, and they
wind up by aslfcng why the city continues
to use the t wo systems, and that question no
hotel clerk in town can answer. There is
always an explanation of the system when
ever a stranger remains long enough in the
city to find out that the city has two times.
OPPOSITION TO ANT CHANGE.
There are very few |>eople in the city who
do not wish the city time abolished. The
colored people oppose it because they have
an idea that they will start to work half an
hour sooner and do half an hour's more
work every day, if standard time is adopted.
Borne few employers think that the men
will stop work half an hour earlier, and
they will lose that time. Both these ideas
are’erroneous, for, as has Icon stated before,
the men will work the same length of time
they do now, but the arbitrary hour of start
ing and stopping will tie changed. Between
them the useless city time was re-adopted
and used after it was once
done away with. One employer who
opposes the abolition of city time is H. P.
Bmart' Esq., President of the Vale Royal
Manufacturing Company. He says that if
Savannah was on the same meridan as
Charleston standard time would not be so
objectionable. There are cities, however,
where the and i (Terence between standard time
and their old time was greater than in Sa
vannah, yet they use standard time and
there is no trouble about it
WHAT THE ALDERMEN SAY ABOUT IT,
Alderman Thomas, who was in the Coun
cil when the experiment was tried, said that
be thought standard time would have lieen
tiaued altogether if it ha 1 boon given a fair
trial. He does not think that the test was
long enough, and he believed that if the
Council had waited three or four weeks
more that it would never have changed
back to city time. When standard
time was adopted he had ftfiteen men at
work on the wharves, and lie had no trouble
In working them. He snnply tout them to
let their clocks hack thirty minutes and
tome to work at Bilk) instead of 7 o’clock,
and they would stop work at 5:30 in
stead of ti o'clock. He had no con
fusion or trouble, although he
made the change without previously
Instructing the men in time systems. He
voted for the standard time. He had for
gotten yesterday whether he voted for or
against the return to the city time, but
when the Council determined upon the
fhange lia 'k it ordered the clocks set by city
time at Pi o'clock one day. At 11 o'clock
that morning the Council was called together
to consider some special matters, and the
time question was brought up.
IK FAVOR OF OKE TIME.
Air. Thomas then said that if the vote was
taken before I- o'clock he would lie in favor
if standard time, but if the vote eaute after
12 he would vote for city time for the rea
lon tiiat he did not approve of too mauy
rhangi's. He is in favor of adopting staii
lard time again if the majority in the
I'ouncil is sufficiently large U> insure a fair
jest, but he will not vote for it
if the standai'd time has a majority
>f only one or two and there is a pos
libilitv of city timelieing voted back when
iver the advocates of it in the Council may
lave a majority present. Ho believes
t best to adopt the simplest system in all
Sases. He thinks that if the matter is
Drought up in the Council that standard
ante will he adopted.
Alderman Wells was the one who advoca
t'd the return to city time liecauso he had
he idea that it affected the hours of work,
tut Mr. Thomas did not find it so. His
lien worked leu hours just the same, though
jhey went to work halt an hour sooner by
ihe clock, but really at the same time.
USED TO TWO SYSTEMS.
Alderman Nichols said that he voted for
ihe adoption of standard time and against
ihe return to city time. He uses both in
lis establishment. He does his railroad
nork hj standard time and his other work
y city time, but he is accustonieii to it now
md does not mind it. He meets two trains
i day and he knows their arrival and de
larture better by city than by standard
time. He thinks that, 'if the matter is
nought up in Council that it will meet
vith the same opposition as before, but so
hr as he is concerned he would ns soon
ibolish city time ns not; it
nakes no difference to him. He thinks
fiat the people who live here and have been
ising the double system ever since it has
leen in vogue will get along with it. He
tnows that it confuses strangers, hut if it j
sould bo an inconvenience to the citizens to I
make the change he would prefer consult
;ng their interest to that of strangers. He
does not know, however, that it would bean
inconvenience to the citizens.
EMPLOYERS WANT A CHANGE.
Most employers are in favor of having
only one tune for the use of two, splits the
dinner hour. Home men want to go to din
ner by standard time because, jierhaps,
some other member of the family works
where standard time is used and the meals
are served accordingly, while othein want to
use city time for the same reason. They
say that the use of two systems is a
perfect nuisance. They do not care whether
city or standard time is abolished, but they
are extremely anxious that either one or the
other should go. Standard time, of course,
will never be dropped. The government
hns adopted it for permanent use.
After years of hard work devising
a uniform system, the railroads
have settled upon this ns the most perfect
that can be made, and all tiling dependent
upon railroads and the arrival and depar
ture of t rains must use standard time for
the railroads will never give it up. All
other cities with one exception, have also
adopted it and given up their city time.
Savannah and Columbus stand alone.
THE BEAULIEU MYSTERY.
Indications That the Victim Was an
111-Treated Wife.
Another clew to the identity of the victim
of the Beaulieu tragedy has been discovered
and the news of it comes in the shape of a
request from HherifT Rowan, of Richland
county, 8. C., for as complete a description
of the murdered woman n-s can be furnished.
Sheriff Rowan is endeavoring to unveil the
mystery which hangs nliout the fnte of
Alice Brazell, the wife of John Brazed, a
white farmer of Richland county. She has
been missing ever since last April. Her
married life had lieen unhappy. During
the month of April she had taken her chil
dron and left her husband's home, but was
overtaken by him. He took the children
a wav from her, sent them lack to the house
and Kigali lieating her with a stick
This is the story told by her little son, and
this is the last news had of hei. A letter
from Sumter, purporting to have been
written by her, was received by her family,
but it is believed to have been in her hus
band’s handwriting. Her mother wrote to
her at Sumter but has received no re
gjionse. Foul play is suspected. Mrs.
Brazell, at the time of her departure from
home, was described as being from 'Jo to HO
years old. weighing about 130 pounds and
having the following characteristics: A
pleasant face, light hair, blue eves, fair
complexion, short stature and good teeth.
She nad two children. In hair and height
Mrs. Brazell answers the decription of the
murdered woman, but the other points can
not be verified.
CONGRESS STREET’S PAVING.
The Work to Begin January 1 and be
Completed by March 1.
The paving of Congress and a part
of Bull street was to have been
completed by Dec. 15 in order to
have the work done by Christmas,
but the contractors said that it would be
impossible to do the work in that time, so the
Council consented that it shall begin Jan. 1
and l completed by March 1.
Alderman Thomas said yesterday that
the Street and lane Committee is
anxious to push the paving of the
street!, but that it is held back by
three things. First, there is a bill pending in
the Legislature to regulate street paving;
second, the appropriation for the present
fiscal year has run out, and third, the
Council has not yet determined at just what
points it desires the first work done. The
committee is somewhat anxious about the
action the legislature may take.
The Council will meet in Decem
ber and make up the budget for
the coming year, but unless the Legis
lature settles the bill before then the
committee will not know just what to do.
It also desires the Council to express its
opinion regarding what streets should be
paved first in i rder that it may lay out
definite plans a id work up to them.
The next w< rk will probably be done
ou Barnard street, between Congress
and State streets. The owners of half of
the property in that district are ready and
desi t ons of having the work done as soon as
possible, and the remainder will not object
when the work is beguif. These people are
aware of the advantages of paved streets,
and wish to avail themselves of them as
soon as they can. In a number of other
sections of the city the property owners
want the work done. They know that
sooner or later they will have to pay for it,
and they want to have it done now and be
gin as soon as possible to reap the benefit.
NEW ORLEANS HAS HIM.
Sir Ernest Paget in Limbo in the
Crescent City.
Sir Ernest Fagot, who created something
of a stir in Newport last summer and then
came South, stopping in Savannah and
Charleston, has turned up in New Orleans.
Several days ago a neat, genteel-looking
man, walked into the St. Charles Hotel,
registered from Florida, and was assigned a
room. He was an Englishmen, and ap
peal'd! to be a tourist. After remaining in
the hotel for a few days he disappeared,
leaving a bill of *lB unsettled. The police
were told of tho st ranger, and they soon
found him in a river front boarding house.
When searched at the police station sev
eral blank checks on banks in New York,
Toronto and Dover, Eng., and a number of
visiting cards of the nobility of England
were found in bis clothes. The detectives
learned that he had pawned a silver pitcher
under the name of Manners. He claims
that he is the son of Gen. Wood, an officer
in the English army, and that his name is
Charles Edgar Wood. Not being able to
give a satisfactory account of himself, he
was committed to the workhouse for thirty
days*. His descript ion and everything about
him show that he is the same Sir Ernest who
deported himself so prominently at the vari
ous Northern resorts.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATERDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1887.
THE ISABELLA IN DISTRESS.
The British Brig Springs a Leak and
Make.s for the Nearest Port.
The British brig Isabella, Capt. James,
arrived up from quarantine yesterday in dis
tress. She left Bull River on Sept. 14 with
a cargo of phosphate rock hound to Ex
mouth, Eng. She encountered good
weather until Saturday. Sept. 17, in about
latitudeß2:JO, longitude 78", In the forenoon,
when it liecame very cloudy and the
barometer fell 2-10 of an inch, the wind
freshened up from north northeast, w ith a
very heavy sea on. By 3 o’clock in the af
ternoon it blew a jierfect hurricane from
the northeast until Sunday morning, when
it lessoned somewhat. During the preva
lence of the storm great quantities of water
came aboard the vessel, and at times
making clean breaches over her, washing
overything movable from off thedeck. She
labored very heavily in the storm, and
sprang a leak which kept the crew con
stantly at the pumps. The gale lasted all
day Sunday, Sept. 18, and the leak
increasing, Capt. James decided to
make for the nearest port, and bore up for
TyK-e, where she arrived Saturday night.
Sept. 34. The Captain, who is astrangerto

bringing his vessel into Tyliee Roads and
anchoring her during a very dark night,
without a pilot. A survey will be called
and the vessel will probably be hauled out
for examination and repairs.

BAD BLOOD IN BASE BALL.
The Umpire Assaults One of tho New
Orleans Players.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 30.—-Base bail
bids fair to go out in bloodshed. After a
fight last night, in which Umpire Simonin
beat Powell, of New Orleans, for cursing
him on the ground, Simonin was discharged,
and to-dav's game was umpired by
Steeneker. The visitors didn’t sulk so much,
but played ball, and as a consequence were
applauded by the audience, who also hissed
several bad decisions of the umpire. The
home team, however, pounded Ewing out
of the box, getting seventeen clean hits off
him. The gate money was not sufficient to
pa v the guarantee fund.

meeting in Charleston on Monday, Oct. 81.

players who will take part in the world’s
championship series, and if the champion

The players refused to accept, demanding
£4OO each and £5OO if they win.
Baltimore Sews: The best record for con
secutive victories in the Southern League
was made by the Charlestons in w inning
eleven games in succession. Ed Knoulf,
the double-jointed young Irish pitcher of
last year’s Memphis team, is said to have a
wonderful diversity of in’-shoots. down
drops, out-curves and other mathematical
attitudes In his pitching. He is gaining
good command of the ball and will continue
to do good work with the St Louis Browns,
the champions of the National League.
Monk Cline before joining the Memphis
team Inst week telegraphed terms to the
manager of a Northern team, and the Sort
ing Sews has the following this week:
Monk Cline failed to report to Manager
Cay lor last week, and there is a possibility
that he will be blacklisted. Bob
Black, of the Memphis Club, refer
ring to the recent tour of that organization
says: "I pitched good ball on that trip, but
it was no use. The umpire was too much
forme. You talk about petit larceny. That
don’t begin to express it. They gave us
grand larceny wherever we went. In New
Orleans, when I made a kick, the crowd
yelled, ‘Throw the—into the creek!’
Charleston is worse than New Orleans.
There they roblied us in cold blood, and
when we kicked, they answered, ‘lf you
don't like it, walk off the grounds.’ Our
treatment there was siniplv infamous, so
much so that if Memphis can’t win the pen
nant 1 would like to see Now Orleans get it."’
The fact is that the Charlestons hatted him
out of the box, as the records will show.

AGAINST THE “OYSTER BILL.”
An Humble Oystermnn Enters His Pro
test An Unjust Measure Opposed.
Editor Morning Sews: As an humble
“oysterman” myself, but representing a
large interest, and deriving a living for a
large number, 1 desire to enter my most
solemn protest against the passage of the
bill known as the “oyster hill. ” People who
do not live by oysiering call not imagine
how hard and how unjust it would he to
pass the bill. It would iiifiict untold misery
on hundreds, both whileand colored, to pass
the bill. 1 cannot believe that such men as
Gordon, Russell and Reilly would lend
their aid to such a measure. The attempt
to pass the bill was a shrewd attempt of the
enemy to distress and rob the poor and
needy—-a trick, a device.
Let the bill be killed. Don't distress the
poor. We live in a free country, and
■neither money nor aristocracy should pre
vail against truth and justice.

Sildnt Barbers.
Stiller F. Gibson announces in this issue
that he has leased the Pulaski House barber
shop, and that hereafter travelers can rely
upon having a quiet shave. No questions
will be asked l,y the artists of the Pulaski,
and the customer will be allowed to rest in
his chair in peace. It will be hard on the
barbers at first to shave in silence, but if
they succeed in keeping quiet the shop will
gain a national reputation.

About Various Lines.
General Freight and Passenger Agent
MeSwiuey, of the Charleston and Savan
nah railway, has been asked by the young
men of Charleston to accept the nomination
for Alderman from his ward. Mr. Mc-
Swiney has, however, declined,
Young O'Brien, a brakeman on the South
Carolina railway, fell from the top of a ear
while the train was in motion. His clothes
fortunately caught in an iron hook on the
side of the ear, and he was carried in that
awkward position for more than a mile.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works, of
Philadelphia, are employing 2.000 hands,
and for the first six months of the present
year turned out 318 locomotives. They now
have orders on hand for 150, and the output
for the year will, it is estimated, reach 650
—the largest number ever known.
The Tavares, Apopka (Fla.) and Gulf
railroad is expected to reach Kirkland and
Clermont in thirty days. The work of
track laying will be pushed forward with
out delay, and rails will be laid into Kissim
mee by Dec. 1. The work is now going
ahead at the rate of nearly a mile a day.
The Thomasville Time* says: “Capt. Rey
nolds and his corps of engineers having
completed the location of the Thomasville,
Tallahassee and Monticelio road to Talla
hassee have moved back in the neighbor
hood of the junction. The work of loca
ting the permanent line to Monticelio,
will proceed without interruption until
completed, when the quantities will be
figured up, so that both towns will know
exactly what amounts they will have to
raise. ”
The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided a ease similar to that of the
State of Georgia vs. the Pullman Company
to collect State tax, so as to sustain Judge
Pardee’s decision. The State can collect tax
on the Pullman Palace Car Company’s busi
ness, which is liegim and ended within its
borders, hut cannot tax interstate com
merce. The tax for 1886 and the last quar
ter of 1885, was paid Thursday on that oasis.
The amount was 861 for fifteen months, as
against about £B<X) a year, formerly paid by
the Pullman Palace Cor Company.
The long-talked of extension of the St.
Augustine and Halifax River railway from
St. Augustine to New Smyrna, Fla., at last
seems to be getting in tangible shape. The
St. Augustine and East Coast Railway Com
pany has been incorporated with the fol
lowing incorporators: S. J. Fox, S. Flem
ing, Port Orange; F. F. Oliverosand George
W. Gibbs. It is said that the road will
be immediately constructed, following the
line mapp'd out for the St. Augustine and
Halifax River road. Work will be com
menced on Oct. 15, and rapidly pushed.
With the White road, the East Coast road,
and, probably • the Blue Spring road, Day
tona, Fla., will he quite a railroad center.
Happening's Over in Charleston.
The work of the erection of the Ensfon
Home cottages, or rather the building of the
village, is progressing satisfactorily. Five
of the cottages are now receiving the finish
ing touches, and will be turned over in
al>out two weeks.
An invitation was sent to the Busch Zou
aves, of St. Louis, to visit Charleston
during the Festival week. In reply to the
invitation Mr. Krumsick announces the dis
organization of ttiis crack company whose
novel drill has been a wonder to every
body who has seen it. “It is
with exceeding regret,” says Mr.
Krumsick, “that I am forced to convey the
painful information that the Busch Zouaves
as formerly organized are no longer in exist
ence. The company was one of the militia
companies of Missouri, and when the entire
State militia was disbanded by order of the
Governor in consequence of the State Legis
lature failing to make an appropriation,
the Busch Zouaves were disbanded and mus
tered out as well as the rest. An effort is
now being made by its former captain to
reorganize, but most of its best and most
efficient members have left the company
and the city, and the new’ formation is not
sufficiently advanced in any way to take
the field for any purpose.”
