AT THE THEATRE.
J. B. Polk In “Mixed Pickles"—His New
Play To-Night.
J. B. Polk played “Mixed Pickles" last
night with the same success that he has
played it for two years. The audience for
some reason was not as large as was ex
pected, but it was a live audience, and it
applauded and laughed by turns. Mr. Polk
was never more cnt.hu iastically received,
and lie played the pa t for all it was worth.
As “Joe Pickle” h is every day at home.
He is admirably supported. Mr. Job
Woodward as “Hiram Brown,” and Miss
DoUie Pike as “Matilda,” next to Mr. Polk,
were the best in the cast.
To-night Mr. Polk will appear in his new
play. “The Jerseyman, or “Gilderoy
l*unk,” a way-back countryman. “The
Jerseyman” is an enthusiastic individual,
given to many schemes peculiar to the in
genious Yankee. He is more thoughtful of
the welfare of otheiss than for his own. The
comedy consists of the peculiarity of “Gil
deroy’s” schemes, the oddity and originality
of his expressions, and the ludicrous jsisi
tions in which he finds himself placed. The
fund of amusement is almost inexhaustible.
SURVEY ON THE McMANEMY.
The Vessel to be Reloaded and to pro
ceed to Her Destination.
A survey was held ou the bark Eliza J.
McManemy yesterday by H. F. Willink,
master ship carpenter, and two Port War
dens. The bark had been previously hauled
out on Will ink’s marine railway, after dis
charging her cargo of lumber. On exami
nation the board found the oakum washed
out along the garboard stroke and water
running out, and another leak amidships on
the starboard side and the copper broken at
each of these leaks. The board recom
mended that the breaks be re
caulked and the rudder beam having
been secured, and the ship being apparently
water tight, that she reload her cargo and
proceed to her port of destination, and that
on arrival that she be docked, caulked and
remetalled. The board also made an ap
praisement of the valuation of the vessel,
placing it at $lO,Wu. Nhe came down off
the railway yesterday and dropped down to
her loading berth, where she will reload her
cargo. She was from Pascagoula for Phila
delphia.

antined by the Jacksonville authorities, was

Oct. 24. Upon his arrival at Tampa he ap
plied to the physician there, and also to the
Relief Committee, and asked to be assigned
to the care of some patients. His effort was
received witii very little show of apprecia
tion, and he says that he was permitted to
see only one case. After remaining there
until Oct. 36 he offered to go to the quaran
tine camp and assist Dr. Caldwell, if his
services were not needed in Tampa. The
result was that lie went to the quarantine

ROUGH WEATHER AT SEA
The Schooner Ella M. Storer Two Days
in a G le Off Katteras.
The schooner Ella M. Storer arrived yes
terday from Clark's cove with a cargo of
guano. She left the cove on Oct. 26, and
had fair weather until the afternoon of Oct.
31, while off Cape Hatteras, when she ran
into a west and northeast gale, which lasted
for two (lavs. At times it blew a perfect
hurricane, the wind veering into southeast,
thence south and south West. The vessel had
two heavy boilers on deck,which caused her
to labor heavilv. Heavy sots came aboard
her and swept her docks, hut she weathered
the gale without damage.
The Bryan County Court.
Judge Adams and Solicitor General
dußignou returned yesterday from Bryan
county where court has been in session for
two days. There were several criminal
cases tried, but all of them except ono were
misdemeanors ami small offenses. Edward
George was sent to the penitentiary for six
years for burglary. The civil business of
the term was somewhat heavier than usual,
hut there were no cases of importance.
RIVER AND HARBOR NOTES.
Happenings Among the Shipping and

to her machinery, and was put into commis -
sion yesterday.

Trade and Market Notes.
The rice market has advanced to pretty
good figures, and at ruling prices consum
ers find the use of broad materials cheaper
for the time being.
The coffee market has declined fully lc.
per pound in less than a week, the fluctua
tions in the cotton market having drawn
the attention of the big operators on the
New York Coffee Exchange for the moment
to cotton, and consequently' coffee is finding
its level.
The cotton market is still on the rise.
Spots were advanced y H c. all round yester
day, with holders at the close asking higher.
The strength of the market was caused by
the heavy day’s Sales at Eiverpool of 18,000
bales at an advance of 1 ISd. per pound,
and the New York market responding very
promptly. Futures went up 25 points,
showing that the recent crop estimates of
the Cotton World have stirred up operators
on the other side.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 188 V.
THE STANDARD TIME.
How It is Obtained and Distributed
Through the Country.
Bupt. Fleming of the Savannah, Florida
mid Western railway, received vesterdy the
speech of Commander Brown, the origina
tor of the time ball, which he delivered at
the recent meeting in New York of the
General Time Convention. Commander
Brown explained the standard time system,
and the method of computing and distribu
ting the time, in vogue at the Naval Observ
atory. He explains the manner in which
standard time is obtained as follows:
In the first place, we have two officers
whose sole duty it is to keep the clock
straight. They take observations every
fair night. They i-ompare tho siderial
clock with tho standard mean time clock at
tho time of the observation, and also on
the following morning at 0 o’clock. From
these observations the error of the siderial
clock is obtained: and from this comparison
the error of the mean time clock
is obtained. Whenever there is foul
weather of course the observations cannot
lie taken, and during that time of three,
four or five days, as tho case may lie, the
'•lock is run upon its record. The barometer
has more effect upon the pendulum of the
clock than the temperature has, and when
the barometer rises and falls rapidly, as it
sometimes does in our climate, especially in
the winter, we find our clock immediately
varies. In fair weather the gentlemen who
are charged with this duty take the mean
barometer between two successive observa
tions, and from that they make a table; so
that in foul weather, by comparing the
barogieter and thermometer, they
are able to get pretty close to what the
clock will do in any given state of weather.
Only once in the past year has the error
after five days of no observations exceeded
six-tenths of a second. In the majority of
instances the error after four or live days of
no observations lias been as little as two
tenths, or one-quarter, of a second All of
our work at the Naval Observatory is done
automatically, and that, it seems to me, is
what you gentlemen want.
Speaking of the manner in which the
time is distributed, he said: There are two
loops from the Western Union, and tw'o
from the Baltimore and Ohio. Those are
loops from the main lines; so that when we
switch in our clock we cut out all the work
going on the main line. It goes down to
the office and is there transmitted, through
eighty-three repeaters, to various parts of
the country. All of this operation is auto
matic. It is simply a question of switching
in the clock at the proper moment.
Those of you who get the time
from the Western Union get tho
bebts of the observatory clock ou your
sounders. The arrangement is a very
simple one. By it the beats of the clock are
transmitted every second, excepting the
twenty-ninth second of the minute, which
is omitted; also the fifty-fifth to the fifty
ninth second. This is all done automatically.
In the last minute before noon, at 11:5‘J, tiie
switch is turned, and there is an interval of
ten seconds of silence. That gives an op
portunity- for the manipulation of switches,
time-halls and clocks. When tho next
signal comes it is the noon beat on our
clock; and that signal is different from all
the rest, in that it lasts one whole second
This time is received in Savannah at the
Western Union telegraph office, and the
manner of receiving it can lie seen there
any day at 12 o’clock when the time ball is
dropped. By this means 12 o’clock is sent
over the whole United States every day-,
and where there is no local time to cause
confusion the clocks and watches can be
regulated with accuracy every twenty-four
hours.
It has been said that the adoption of
standard time here would confuse the mari
ners, but that is not so. The captains of
vessels and the pilots do not wait to get
into a port to find out what time the tide
rises. If they did th y might never get in.
They calculate the ebb and flood from ob
servations which they take themselves, and
are altogether independent of tide tables
and almanacs, but even if
it were not so, the government
has issued a nautical almanac
giving the tides for all the Atlantic ports
according to standard time, and all the tide
tables that ale now gi\ r e, in foot
notes, the number of minutes to be added
to or subtracted from the sun time of each
port in order to change the local time to
standard time, and the confusing city time
of Bavaunah might be abolished and no
mariner or pilot would ever know it, so far
as it would affect his making the tides.
ON RAID AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.
The grading of the Kansas City’, Memphis
and Birmingham branch road to Bessemer
will be finished this week.
J. A. McDuffie, General Ticket and Pass
enger Agent of the Brunswick and Western
railroad, was in the city yesterday.
It is rumored that Supt. Starr, of the Port
Royal and Western Carolina railroad, will
short ly go to Mexico on the Mexican Na
tional railroad.
The Central has received another ten
wheel locomotive from the Rogers works.
Three engines were also recently received
from the Baldwin works.
Eight hundred and fifty feet of the Coosa
tunnel on the Goodwater extension remains
yet to be bored, and the strata of rock in
both ends of the tunnel show no signs of
giving out. The rook through which the
tunnel is now being bored is, in the lan
guage of the contractor, “as hard as Pha
raoh's heart.” and is the most difficult to
work ever encountered in a tunnel in this
country. The grading and trestling from
Leeds to Coosa river is now just about com
pleted.
Tho striking feature of the iron and steel
trade is a transaction in steel rails that looks
very much like a break in price sufficient to
thoroughly unsettle matters for the time be
ing. According to current report, says the
Commercial Bulletin, a Pennsylvania com
pany has accepted an order for some 15,000
tons tit $34 50, delivered at Boston. This
rate is so dangerously near the basis of S3O
at the mill that, pending further develop
ments, the market is in a very uncertain,
not to say demoralized condition. Some
what in contrast with this, however, tho re
port has had more or less exclusive circula
tion that car builders have recently secured
some quite liberal orders, which will secure
work tor the near future and necessitate
purchases of goodly quantities of crude ma
terial.

THE CARGOES ABANDONED.
The Naval Court Sustains the Protest
of the British Crews.
The following decision, which was handed
down by the Naval Court yesterday, settles
1 the wet cotton question, so far us British
steamships are concerned:
Finding and order of a Naval Court held at
Savannah, ou the 7th, nth and 9th days of Nov
ember 1887, to investigate and inquire into the
result of a protest made by the crew of the
British steamship “Naples” of Condon official
Number 70,728, and to determine whether the
wet cm ton Intel*-discharged from the said
British steamship is in such a condition, or is
likely to become so through deterioration dur
ing a voyage to England, as to bh a source of
danger to the health of the said crew If the said
wet cotton is re-shipped, and carried under the
hatched of the said steamship Naples;
That after hearing and carefully considering
the evidence presented to this court, which evi
dence included the testimony of nine physi
cians, seven of w iioni were decidedly opposed oil
sanitary grounds to the reshipment of the said
wet cotton below the decks or the said steam
ship Naples, and after a personal examination
of the said wet cotton, and also the quarters oc
cupied by the sailors and firemen on board the
said ship,
The court is of the opinion, and so decides,
that the protest made by the aforesaid crew has
been fully sustained, and therefore it decrees
that the said wet cotton be not reshipped under
the hatches of the steamship Naples.
It is important, inasmuch as it estab
lishes a precedent by which, no doubt,
the captains of steamers suffering
similar losses will in the future be
guided. This decision enables them to re
fuse to take over the cotton which is dam
aged in their own ships, though vessels sail
ing under the same laws take that same cot
ton and carry it to Liverpool under hatches,
while the vessel in which it was damaged
collects freight.
Uapt. Reavely, of the Resolute, has
abandoned his damaged cargo because the
owners instructed him to do so. He will put
his vessel into a berth and take a dry cargo,
leaving the damaged one to be carried for
ward by some other British vessel.
CHARLESTON’S DAY’S DOINGS.

The three candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor of Charleston were

The Netox anil Courier congratulates the
Democracy of Charleston on the readiness
of candidates for exalted public office to an
nounce their opinions on important public
questions before they are nominated by the
party. There is, so far as the candidates
for Mayor are concerned, no leaping in the
dark.
Frank Kressel, Jr., the owner of the
Sophie Amelia K., states that he did not
challenge anybody to run a yacht race, and
that the answer of Capt. Swann, of the
Frances Elizabeth, is not an answer to his
challenge. His vessel, he says, is a pilot
boat, and he will pit her against any pilot
boat in Charleston for a pilot boat race. He
does not care to go into the triangular yacht
race business, but he will race from Charles
ton to Tybee and back—over the course
sailed by the Igo and Neca a year or two
ago. ,
A Card.
Editor Morning News: Our attention has
been called to an advertisement in a local
newspaper, addressed to one of the pastors
of this city, in which certain questions are
propounded to him in a form most offensive
and injurious, with a manifest purpose of
bringing public odium upon him and upon
tho young ladies of his family. It is, of
course, impossible for a self-respecting gen
tleman to pay any attention to so gross an
attack, the purpose of which, on the part of
the instigators, if not of the writer, is
so obvious.
We take the responsibility of saying, on
tho positive persona 1 knowledge of some of
us, that the implications which this publica
tion is calculated to convoy to the public,
are each and all false in every particular.

warms the rooms at once and allows but
very little heat to escape up the chimney,

A CHINAMAN’S STRATEGY.
His Ruse for Showing: That the Stolen
Sample-Case was His Own.
From the St. Paul Globe.
Tom Burke is a disciple of Leigh Hunt in
dealing with his fellow-men, but a recent
experience has caused him to modify his feel
ing somewhat with regard to the almond
eyed sons of the Flowery Kingdom. It
Unopened thus:
Recently Tom came down from Duluth
via the Omaha night train, and while at
Spooner stepped over to warm his inner
man with a cup of coffee. On returning to
the train his sample-case was missing. Tom
hunted through the train in company with
several other Knights of the Grip, and
learned that the heathen Chinee had been
seen leaving the car with a sample-case.
Pell-mell into the waiting room rushed Tom,
followed by the gang, and there in the cor
ner sat a demure and iunocent-lookirg sou of
Confucius, dressed in a full suit of civilized
broadcloth.
“Here,” says Tom, “where is my sample
case?"
“Me not know, ‘Melican man.”
Tom’s hand catne down 011 the Celestial's
shoulder, and whirling him into the centre
of the room, he demanded the case, follow
ed with a threat to cut off his cue. Walk
ing up throe or four seats, the Mongolian
pointed under the settee. Tom made a
dive under the seat and hauled forth his
cherished companion, aud was shout to start
for the train.
“You holee on little minute. Dat my glip;
him got my glub in him.”
Tom stopped, and setting the case down,
opened it. The pig-tail pointed to a little
square tin box remarking:
“Dat my own self glip; him got Chinee
man glub in him.”
Tom picked up the box, opened it, and
there lay a mouse dead.
That raw-hide son of a washee had
emptied out Tom’s sample of O. G, Java,
and placed in its stead the rodent, hoping
thereby to prove his proprietorseip. There
was a pause, a mouse-colored expression stole
over Tom’s face. Then he laid a hand on
that Chinaman's pig tail, and, straightening
himself up, he whirled the surprised rat
catcher through the door. The midnight air
was loaded with whoopees as that fright
ened Celestial made a break for the woods,
and iu two minutes the wires bore the fol
lowing message:
“Allen, Moon & Cos., St. Paul: Express
to me at Turtle Lake sample of O. G. Java.
Tom Burke.”
Cigars are on Tom.

About Arm3.
The human arm plays a very important
part in the drama of life. A lady who can
boast of a pretty arm is not apt to conceal
the fact to any great extent. Man's natural
weapon of defense and offense, is his strong
right arm. When an auctioneer’s arm
comes down it means “sold,” in more ways
than one. The large Golden Arm that in
vites the passer-by to step in and examine
our great variety of Gents’, Youths’ and Boys’
Suits, Overcoats, Hats and Gent’s Fur
nishing Goods, illustrates the hammer-like
strokes of success achieved by us in catering
to the wants of our friends and the public
generally, and encourageinglv beckons in
those who have not enjoyed the many ad
vantages we possess in our line. Our stock
is constantly augmented by new arrivals,
and our known upright dealing and minute
attention to our customers’ needs, brings
constant additions to our clientage. We
ask an inspection of our clothing and com
parison of pncefc. You can easily find the
sign of The Big Golden Arm.

Cable Street Cars.
There was a rumor afloat a few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, hut would
prove more profitable in the long run, as so
many more trips could be made in a day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in a very little time. Just the
same at Appel it Sehaul’s, the One Pricß
Clothiers: it takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment, as every arti
cle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same, thus saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those that are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money, and
those that are judges are invited to call and
inspect prices to convince themselves. Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection—l 63 Congress
street, opposite the market.
A Big Crop of Weddings.
Reliable rumor predicts a greater than usual
number of weddings during the fall and winter
season, an indication of prosperity surely. We
are in proper trim for just such occasions, and
would ask persona: inspection of the multitudi
nous articles, ornamental and decorative, with
which our storerooms arc crowded. We point
with pleasure to our immense array of Solid
Silver and Plated Ware suitable for wedding
S resents, rare Vases, elegant Clocks, handsome
tatuary, and bric-a-brac generally. Our line
of bronze ornaments is brilliant in itself, and
throughout may be found a thousand valuable
novelties suitable and appropriate as souvenirs
and keepsakes. In Diamonds. Jewelry and
Watches, it is Impossible in limited space to
speak intelligibly. Suffice it to saj tiial not
even the famous "Tiffany's" can outrival us in
beauty and careful selection of our stock. Prices
have been made to suit the times, and we offer
our representative stock on its merits, and stake
our reputation on the result. Our engraving
depart ment is carefully conducted, and ail work
in this line is artistically executed. We are
always pleased to snow visitors through our
stock, even though they may not be ready to
buy, as we feel that our establishment is one of
the ‘‘sights’’ of the city, and it is always "exhi
bition day” to the public. Respectfully,
M. Stkrnber... 157 Broughtou street.

Underwear.
People now-a-days pay extra prices for
underwear, because the word sanitary is
printed on them, with some heretofore un
heard of doctor’s name attached. All they
can possibly claim is that the article sold is
all wool, which no one need to j>ay extra
for. When a firm like the Famous New
York Clothing House, corner of Congress
and Whitaker streets, warrant underwear
all wool, they can be relied on as such,
without having to pay almost double the
price for them. YVe have underwear of
every quality, and prices the low-ost in the
city.
Everyone knows, by manufacturing our
ow n Clothing, we undersell all our competi
tors. Out of our large stock of Overcoats,
and suits for men, youths and boys, we
can suit everybody. Our $2 50 knee suit,
our 25c. knee pants, and 25c. blue felt boys
hats, are real, bargains.
We keep Umbrellas, Hats, Trunks and
Valises of every description. Our 25e.

for less than double the price. Our $2 .50

PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S CHOICE—AKNABE
GRAND IN THE WHITE HOUSE —lt is gener
ally conceded that President Arthur is one of
the most cultured and accomplished gentlemen
who have occupied the executive chair. But
few of our readers, outside of metropolitan cir
cles are aware that he enumerates among bis
many accomplishments that of music. President
Arthur is not only an excellent amateur, but
considerable of a music connoisseur. He re
cent ly gave the old and reliable house of Kna!>a
<£ Cos. an order for a Concert Grand for the
Presidential Mansion,at Washington. The In
strument is one of the most superb Grands pro*
duced by Messrs. Knabe. It is richly carved,
and is an exceptional instrument to beautiful
equality of tone, power, exquisite touch, re
sponsive action and artistic workmanship. It
was placed in the White House last week. The*
President is not alone in his preference for the
Knabe Grand, as it graces the parlors of Hon.
James G. Blaine and many other statesmen at
Washington. #
Messrs. JFm. Knnhe <fc Cos.:
Dear Birr: The Upright Piano which you so
kindly presented me eonunands my admiration.
For beauty of tone, touch and act ion, I have not
seen its equal, and it gives me great pleasure to
l ender this justice to the instrument of your
manufacture. Believe me, very truly vours,
CLARA LOUIgE KELLOGG.

Messrs. H'm. Knnhe rf Cos.:
Gentlemen: I give my testimony as to Ihe
qualities of your Concert Grand Plano, to pos
session of one of my friends, with greatest of
pleasure, as only the very best can be said of
them. Tone and touch are equally excellent,
and assist the artist in the execution of every
possible measure, and I will with pleasure advo
cate their introduction. There is not the least
doubt that they will compete to greatest advan
tage with all others.
