8 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. COMMITTED TO THE DUst.

O’Brien took place at the Cathedral of Our | lauly of Perpetual Help at 11 o’clock yes ; terday morning and was attended by a sor | rowing congregation of the dead priests’ 1 parishioners and friends.

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.

ON THE DIAMOND FIELD. Gossip of Interest to Admirers of the National Game. The Southern League holds its annual meeting in Charleston on Monday, Oct. 81. Tle management of the Detroit Base Ball Cluli has offered £3OO to each of the players who will take part in the world’s championship series, and if the champion ship be won this is to be increased to £4OO. 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. For the Ladles. Messrs. G. V. Heeker & Cos. will, this af ternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock, at the City Market, exhibit the superior linking quali ties of Hecker’s celebrated Self Raising Buckwheat and Griddle Cake Flours.

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.

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.” Notice.
