EDMUNDS OUT OF WIND.
BB GIVES UP THE RACE AFTER
THE CHINESE BILL.
Mr. Kilgore Drops the Document In
His Inside Pocket and Complacently
Leaves It there—Nervous Republi
can Members from California Vainly
Try to Hurry Him up.
Washington, Sept. 20.—1n the Senate
to-day the order reported yesterday
by Mr. Edmunds from the com
mittee on foreign relations di
recting retention of the Chinese exclusion
bill, having been taken up, Mr. Edmunds
said that as the bill had gone out of the
poss ssi, m of the senate, the order was not
appbcable to the preseut state of the case,
a .and, therefore, so far as he was concerned,
the resolution might be iaid on the table.
The Presiding Officer [Mr. Ingalls]—lf
there be no objection, the resolution will lie
on the table.
It was so ordered.
KILGORE’S COURSE.
Representative Kilgore, acting chairman
of tlie House committee on enrolled bills,
was to-dav informed of the action of the
Senate in tabling Mr. Edmunds’ motion to
delay transmission of the Chinese bill to
the House. He said that the bill was in his
possession duly enrolled and signed. He
could not say when he would deliver it to
the President, but he should probably fol-
low his usual course in this case. About
once in a week or ten days he had been in
the habit of calling upon the President to
deliver such bills as had been enrolled and
signed. But for Mr. Edmunds’ action yes
terday the bill would have been delivered
to the President at 5 o’clock in the after
noon.
COUI*D RK HKLD BACK.
Mr. Kilgore added that he had not consult
ed with any one in reference to the matter,
and whatever lie did was upon his own vo
lition and responsibility. Bills had been
held by the committee on enrolled bills for
months after their passage befoie being
transmitted to the President. He did not
mean to say that this bill would be de ayed
any such length of time, but merely cited
tiie fact to show what might be
Bone without violating precedents.
He had head t’.iat Representative Morrow
of California was about to introduce a reso
lution for the committee to deliver the bill
immediately to the President, but such a
resolution, in his optaiou, would not give
any additional force to the requirement of
the rules.
ACTION OF THE HOUSE.
In the House to-dav, Mr. Morrow offered
a resolution directing the committee on en
rolled bills to transmit the Chinese bill to
the President forthwith and without delav.
Mr. Morrow’s resolution was presented as
a question of privilege. It recited the pas
sage of the Chinese bill by the House and
Senate, the signing of the enrolled bill by
firesiding officers of the two houses, its de
iv'.tv to the committee on enrolled bills,
and the fact that it is now in the possession
of Acting Chairman Kilgore. It further re
cites the report in the Washington Post,
that the bill is being withheld from the
President by- the committee on enrolled
bills, and declares that such action of the
committee is without the authority of the
law.
A POINT OF ORDER.
Mr. McMillin of Tennessee raised a point
of order that the resolution did not present
a question of privilege. There was no alle
gation of delay in the transmission of the
Bill that was unreasonable or unusual. As
n matter of fact, there were other cases in
■which the delay had been much greater
than in the present case.
Mr. Herbert of Alabama took the same
ground, and stated that the newspaper only
gave the story as a matter of current
rumor.
The debate upon the point of order was
lively and at times bitterly personal
between Messrs. Payson of Illinois, and
Breckenridge of Kentucky.
The point of order against the resolution
was sustained, and the resolution was not
allowed to come before the House.
NO LAW OR RULE.
Mr. Cox added that there was no law or
rule prescribing the manner in which a bill
should be transmitted to the President, but
the practice had grown up of entrusting
that duty to the committee on enrolled
bills. One day’s delay was not unusual.
The average time it took for a bill
to reach the President after having been
signed by the presiding officers of the two
houses was three days. While sustaining the
point of order he was not prepared to say
that if the resolution was again brought
forward in a tew days he would rule that it
was not privileged.
Mr. Morrow tnen asked unanimous consent
for immediate consideration of the resolu
tion, but a demand for regular order oper
ated as mi objection, and the House at 3:15
o’clock adjourned.
in kiloork’s pocket.
The bill is in Mr. Kilgore’s inside pocket,
and is likely to s*ay there till next week at
least. “I fear my state more than the Sen
ate," said Mr. Bowen as ho chuckled last
Dight over the way he had distanced Mr.
Edmunds. Mr. Bowen added that he sup
po-od “Father Edmunds ’ would “blow him
up” this morning for hi, indecorous haste.
Strange to say, Mr. Edmunds didn’t, but
finding the bird flown, quietly laid down
bis net, and nhondoned pursuit. When the
nervous California republicans in House
beard that Mr. Kilgore had received
the bill from Mr. Bower, yesterday
atternoou, they went to Mr. Kilgore anil
asked him to take the bill at ouee to the
President. Mr. Kilgaro replied that he saw
no reason for undue haste, and would await
the action of the ."Senate on Mr. Edmunds’
resolution. To- lay they went to him, told
him teat the Edmunds resolution hail been
laid on the table and asked him w hat lie
proposed to do.
“1 shall do my duty, gentlemen,” he re
sponded, with a bow. This was not satis
laoiorv to t em. They wanted the bill
ru-lied right up to the white house, so as to
give the President ns little time to consider
it as possible. Seeing that Mr. Kilgore was
not going to make an unusual effort to
hurry it to the white house, they prepared
the resolution directing him to do so,
which was offered by Mr. Morrow
as a question of privilege and ruled out
by Speaker fro tern. Cox. Mr. Kilgore
smileil. but sawl nothing as Mr. Cox an
Bounced his decision. Meanwhile Minister
Doniiy is trying the difficult task of getting
some fresh informati n from Pekin about
the condition ol the treaty. After that is
received the President will know better how
to act on the bill.

MITCHELL ON THE MESSAGE.
He Devotes His Time to an Argument
for Protection.
Washington, Sept. 20.- —This afternoon
Mr. Mitchell proceeded to address the
Senate on the motion to refer the Presi
dent’s annual message. He characterized
the tariff bill passed by the House as one
in the interest of the importer and against
the interest of the laborer, and which had
received the enthusiastic approval of free
traders at home and abroad and said that
on the other hand the Senate substitute
would be a bill based from l eginning to
end on the American doctrine of protec
tion to American labor and American in
dustry. Aftorspeaking tor about two hours,
Mr. Mitchell yielded the floor for a motion
to proceed to executive business.
The executive session lasted over
an hour. After the doors were
reopened, Mr. Daniel asked unanimous
consent to take from the calendar and pass
the House bill for the relief of James Albert
Bonsack of Virginia (extension of the cigar
ette machine patent), but objection was
made by Mr. Cockrell, who said that he
wanted at least twenty-four hours to dis
cuss the bill.
Mr. Mitchell again took the floor and de
livered the remainder of his speech. He
concluded at 4:20 o’clock.
SECOND-HAND BAGGING.
Secretary Fairchild’s Answer to a Sa
vannah Merchant’s Inquiry.
Washington, Sept. 20. —Secretary Fair
child has informed a merchant of Savannah
that inasmuch as ordinary jute bagging,
manufactured in this country, exported as
covering cotton in bale and returned as
second-hand bagging, would probably fail
when so returned to tie in the same,
or even substantially tho saute condition
as when exported, such bagging could
not be exempt from duty under the only
provision in the free list (T. 1., 619) applicable
to articles of growth, produce and manu
facture of the United States other than
casks, barrels, carboys, bags and other ves
sels. Tho Secretary adds, however, that
any waste bagging to be used in making, and
fit only to bo convertel into paper, and
unfit for any other manufacture, is free
under provision (T. I. 750) for paper stock.
He also says that bagging for cotton not
coming under any of the above cited pro
visions is subject to a duty of I}£ cents per
pound if valued at 7 cents or less per squaro
yard, and to a duty of 3 cents per pound tf
valued at over 7 cents per square yard
(T. I. 3437).
UNCLE SAM’S LIBRARY.
A Proposition to Invite New Plana and
Specifications.
Washington. Sent. 20. —In the House
this morning Mr. Payne of Illinois moved
that the House insist on its disagreement to

the library building. Coupled with his
motion is a declaration on the part of the
House in favor of the original proposition
of the House suspending the progress of the
existing work, and authorizing the Senate
and House committees on public buildings
to invite from five leading architects plans
and specifications for a library' building
which will not exceed in cost #4,000,000.
Tho committees shall have leave to report
at any time, and their report shall be priv
ileged
Mr. Payson subsequently withdrew his
proposition, and on motion of Mr. Burnes,
turther conference was ordered on the bill.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1888.
THURMANANDTHENEGRO
THE JUDGE TEL.LB JUST WHERE
HE STANDS ON THE QUESTION.
H© Proves by His Record that He is
not an Enemy of the Colored People
—The Cause of His Opposition to
Ohio’s Suffrage Act Explained.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 20.— Judge Thur
man received to-day a delegation of colored
democrats, who, through VV. H. Furbush
of Arkansas, presented an address ex
pressing their thankfulness for favors from
the Democratic party, expressing their be
lief in the division of the colored vote as for
their best interest, and stating their firm
belief in the election of Cleveland and
Thurman.
Judge Thurman greeted them warmly,
and addressed them at some length, fie
said:
I know very well that I have been described
and am described as an enemy of the colored
people. There never was anything more unjust
in the world. 1 don't, come of a family that is
unjust. It is true that in 1887, before the
suffrage for your people had been adopted,
when the question was in Ohio, and iu Ohio
alone, whether the word “white" should be
struck from the constitution I, together with a
large majority, voted against striking out.
HIS REASONS.
My reasons were plainly stated and honestly
matained It was not right for Ohio to "lake
such action when nearly all the other states
were otherwise. That reason I urged against
such action, but, from the moment the amend
ment to the federal constitution was adopted,
which gave suffrage to the colored people, horn
that moment they became citizens, and no
man can say I ever treated
them otherwise than as citizens. [Applause. 1
No man can say with truth that I have denied
the eouality before the law of the colored peo
ple. l stand, and drover ('<evelaiid stauds. on
tha platform of the Democratic party, which
pronounces for equal rights for all, without re
gard to race or color. That platform means
that Mvery man, whether b birth, by
naturalization or by amendments to
the constitution, a citizen. is eqnal
to any one before the law. [Applause]. White
and black stand on the same foundation, and
all are equal before the law and the Democratic
party. You have seen the pledges made.
CLEVELAND'S RECORD.
No president has ever done more ampin jus
tice to the colored people than President Cleve
land. and if re-elected he will continue to do
justice to them. I know him well. In ins intel
lect and his soul, he is a just and upright man.
When he says anything he means it, and when
he l as said lie stands to it. I am greatly pleased
that the colored vote is no longer a unit. I
have said repeatedly, in public and in private,
I have said everywhere, that since the suffrage
was coiiicrred on the colored people, the repub
lican niv.lagers see c to make political bonds
men of the colored race. When they
ceased to lie labor bondsmen, the repub
lican le-dcrs intended that they should
become political bondsmen, and they knew that
was impossible in human nature without bit ter
ness among tho whites. It was an impossibility
In human nature w ithout miracles. Therefore.
I have said the way to acquire your rights, and
to secure the reaped of all is to cast your votes
as w hite men cast theirs according to measure
before you.
CRADLE OF THEIR FREEDOM.
If you will look into the matter you will find
that the freedom which you have enjoyed will
be traced t the declaration in which Jefferson,
the father of democracy, wrote the w ords “ free
and equal." All since has come from ideas in
the declaration of independence, although
slavery in the south was to be found
in the whig as well as iu the
democratic states, and it has l>eeu
called a democratic institution. The truth is,
the principle of Jefferson was underneath it,
and it was brought to the grave. Now, say
whatever you may think, write whatever you
may think, there is liberty for all. If any i>eo
ple more than another have reason to he thank
ful for this declaration, it is those who have
been lately set free.
OBJECTS OF THE WAR.
I don't underrate the men who helped. I know
well the unjust claims that have been made. I
know well that it was said, it was not to lie a
fight for abolition. I know that it was said that
if the union could be preserved without, freeing
the slaves, they would preserve it on that condi
tion. 1 know i hat Lincoln, a good man, said so;
but I also know that when the idea entered the
brain of the radical leaders that by emancipat
ing the slave and giving him suffrage the south
might be made a solid radical south, then there
was a sudden and wonderful growth of pnil
anthropy, and men who but lately
had l>een willing to se* slavery in
definitely prolonged became earnest advocates
of abolition, iu fact party interest governed
political action, and if it had b-en supposed by
the radical leaders that political bondage of the
negro could be made to take the place of the
ancient bondage, you would have heard nothing
of the Republican party having freed the slave.
I did not intend to make a long
speech, and I thank you for
your call and your attention. If you
will vote as y<ur judgment dictates, show that
you think and form correct judgments by your
deeds, by your votes, by your speeches, and
by what you w r rite. Then you will enjoy the
same consideration as others. Once more, I
thank you.
The judge spoke with ease, and after a
cordial hand shake, the delegation dispersed
and adjourned.

Columbus, Ga., Sopt. 20. —At noon to
day William Moody, who works at Brown’s
factory, was shot throe times, twice in tho
mouth and ones in tho left arm, by a fellow
operative named William Ivey. Ivey is
about 18 years old and r sides in the Pearce
building. Moody is fierhaps two or three
years older and'lives on Fifteenth street.
Ivey is a married man, but Moody
is single. Moody had been in the habit of
joking with Ivev and calling him such
names as sap-sucker, dog-eater, etc. Ivey
warned Moody against calling him such silly
nam* s in the suture, but Moody paid no at
tention to tho warning, and at noon
to-day, when the operatives were at
rest, Moody met Ivey and said to him
dog enter. This enraged Ivey, and he
immediately drew his pistol, firing three
shots. Friends interfered and stopped
further trouble. Drs. Walker and Suns
attended the wounded man. It is believed
that the wounds will prove fatal. Ivey
was arrested and is now confined at police
headquarters.
QUIIMAN TOPICS.
Great Damage to Cotton—Split of the
Democracy.
Quitman, Ga., .Sept, 20. —The first sun
shine for fen days is making farmers look a
little brighter, though great damage has
already been done to crops, which it will
be impossible to remedy. Cotton has been
the principal sufferer, and it lias been badly
injured. A great deal of cotton was open
in the fields when the rains commenced, and
it was next to impossible for the farmers to
pick it. Much of this open cotton had begun
to sprout in the bolls, and nearly all
the young bolls have rotted. The loss to
Brooks county from this source is estimated
at $50,000
Politics is getting to be quite lively.
Three candidates are in the field for the
legislature. They are Mr. Jones and Mr.
Humphreys (white) and Martin (colored).
Martin was nominated by the republicans
about two weens ago, and is doing all he
can to consolidate this vote. The white
vote is badly divided between Messrs. Jones
and Humphreys, and as the while and col
ored vote is very tie r!y equal, Martin will
be elected if he can consolidate the negro
vote. There has been no nomination by
the Democratic party, and the people are
beginning to see the folly of such a course.
The county commissioners at their lasi
meeting removed all taxes on circuses and
shows of all kinds.
B. A. Denmark of Savannah is having
his old birth place, five miles from Quit
man, whero his father now lives, completed,
remodeled and modernized, and will make
a model country home out of it.

nent prohibitionists and republicans to

The Flood in Emanuel.
Swainsbobo, Ga., Sept. 20.—N0 mails

badly damaged. Meeks’ large water mill
was turned bottom side up, so great was the
force of the water. The noise was heard

A Steamer Under Bond.
Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 20. — The Belgian
steamship Vladeren, which has been de
tailed at this port for the past two weeks
under libel, to-day gave bond and will pro
ceed on her voyage. Sbo was chartered for
a lump sum, and a discussion arose between
the charterers and the vestel as to certain
snaces, which were claimed by lioth parties.

A Negro Shot.
Swainsbobo, Ga., Sept. 20. — Mack Rich,
a young white man, shot a negro yesterday
at Thompson’s mill, in this county. A
party was trying to arrest the negro and
he ran near Kibbee’s store, and someone
hallooed at Rich to catch the negro. The
negro cur ed Rich and would not be ar

A THIEF IN A LAW OFFICE
CLIENTS OF THE FIRM ROBBED OF
MANY THOUSAND3.
The Culprit Trusted Implicitly by His
Employers—The Money Secured by
Means of a Series of Forgeries—The
Firm Responsible for the Full
Amount of His Peculations.
New York, Sept. 20. A gigantic
swindle has come to light. James Edward
Bedell, a real estate clerk for the law firm
of Shipman, Barlow, Larocque & Cuoate,
at No. 35 William street, has by a systam
of audacious swindling robbed clients of his
firm of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The precise amount of his peculations, as
far as at present known, is $2(54,500.
a trusted employe.
Bedell was a trustei employe, in full
charge of the Arm’s real estate business.
He forged bonds, mortgages, registers, seal
and all, took t.ie money himsoii and paid
the interest on the false mortgages as they
fell due. His swindles cover a period of
five years. Ail accident led to his discovery,
aud lie is now under arrest at police head
quarters. To Inspector Byrnes, he said
that he had spent the money playing policy
and at amateur farming.
Bedell had risen step by step to his pres
ent position, in w ieh he was receiving a
salary of $1,700 a year.
HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED.
One of Bedell’s victims was going to
Europe. In looking over his papers he cams
across a mortgage, the seal of which
did not appear to be right. He
sent it to the register’s office to
have anew oue put on. There was no
rec ord of the mortgage and suspicion was
aroused. The firm was notified, but would
not beiieve the truth until Bedell had con
fessed. Then lie was arrested. Bedell said
he spent the greater portion of tho mo ey
on his farm. He had also lost $12,000 at
policy at No. 180 Broadway. The proprie
tors of the place were also arrested. Bedell
was taken before a police justice and held
to await further developments. The firm
is responsible for the full amount of his de
predations. Bedell lived in elegant style in
Brooklyn, kept a lot of servants, and at his
West Chester county farm, blooded stock.
STORIES OF THE FLOOD.
Where the Bears Go When the Water
Floods the Swamps.
A group ot passengers, on one of the
river steamers a day or two ago, was dis
cussiug the flood, and the conversation
turned on what the bears do when the
floods coine into tlie swamps. Bears are
plentiful in all the outlying swamps on both
sides of the Savannah river, from near
Stokes’ bluff to the Charleston b ridge.
, “In tho high swamps,” said one of the
group, who was a native, “the bears go up
a tree and wait for the flood to go a< wn.
The deer is smart, and he gets upon a high
log and there he stays.”
“That reminds me,” said one of the party,
“how Golden lost his gun. Did you ever
hear the story f”
“No.”
“Well, Golden and a companion were
chopping wood in the swamp, and as the
waters began to get uncomfortably high,
they took a boat to go to higher ground.
While puddling along near tho edge of the
swamp they saw a bear up a litile water
oak. Golden had a shotgun, and the
other woodsman had no weapon but
an ax. They baited a little above the
place where the bear was treed, made fast
the boat aud iiegan to argue about the
division of the bear meat. They agreed to
halve it, but Golden wanted the hide. ‘I
have the gun,’ he said, ‘and I am entitled
to it.’ ‘No,’ said the other, ‘l’ll have to
finish him with the ax, for the buckshot
won’t kill him.’ They couldn’t agree, and
were about to leave bruin in repose when a
compromise was effected. If the gun killed
tlie bear Golden was to have the hide; if it
was killed with the ax it was to be the ax
man’s. Advancing to a safe distance oue
rested on the ax and the other opened fire
on the bear. Golden shot all his buckshot
and small shot at the animal, which
seemed to take very little interest in
the proceedings beyond occasionally turn
ing a wicked glance in the direction of the
woodsmen, as if he had a half way notion
of coming down to see what they were
monkeying about. It occurred to Golden
that lie had some pistol balls in the boat,
and be started back to get them, followed
by his companion, who preferred helping to
hunt them instead of bunting the bear.
The gun was loaded with the pi t J halls
and their size restored confidence, so that
the hunters stood almost under the bear
when Golden let both barrels go at once.
The bear jumped down between the hunters
and turned hunter himself. Golden
dropped the gun, his companion
dropped the ax, and the two
hunters ran a dead heat for the boat.
They got into deep water, and after the ex
citement had measurably worn off, Golden
asked his companion if ho were going buck
after the ax, and added, ‘You might bring
the gun along, too.’ ‘Oh, no, pouner,’ said
the axman, ‘I have no use for the ax; you
can have it when you go back for the
hide.’”
“Did Golden go back?” queried an inter
ested listener.
“I never heard,” replied the story teller,
“but Gofden’s partner says ‘the water riz
fast after the bar fight,’ and you can form
your own conclusion.”
“Speaku g’bout bahs,” broke in another,
“you nevah hearn tell of my Uncle Ike a
tollin’ of a story that want rock bottom fack.
He wuz in the Har’son f cosh, and got out
cypress ovah on Bali crick when the fresh
it come. What he didn’t know about balls,
the bahs didn’t know themselves. He could
tell whah the biggest bahs used by tha
mawks on the t. ees, and ihe young bahs by
the little mawks. Lohd wouldn't this
fresh’ve knocked him all out of jint.
He thought thut was a big
flood, and tie usend to tell us boys, ‘Pshaw,
you young bucks don’t know when thar’s a
big rise in the rivah. You ouglien for to
hav seen tho Har’son fresh.’ But that
ain’t coinin’ to iny Uncle Ike’s bah story.
My Uncle Ike, be was a cuttin’ of cypress
ovuli on Bah crick, and his shanty was ’pon
a high kuoli, and the watah had kivered
everything in two states ’ceptin that knoll.
One night along about the turn of the night
tlinr come a knock on tho doh and my Uncle
Ike sez 'Come in,’ and who should step iu
but a big black bah. A iigiit was blazin’
from a pine knot in tb.e chiinloy, and Uncle
Ike riz up in bed to see who moot come in
on him, and tiiar wss the bah, and the teahs
was runnin’ down his eyes. My Uncle Ike
was about to rech for bis gun, but when he
seed the teahs streamin’ down he hadn’t the
heart to shoot, and the ’pealin’ look nas too
much for Uncle ike.
“ ‘Drownded out, by tbundab,’ said my
Undo Ike.
“The bah nodded bis bead.
“ •‘Hungry as a bah, too,’said my Uncle
Ike.
“The bah nodded his hea l.
“ ‘An’ you’d as soon lunch on me.’ said ray
Uncle Ike; and this time he rech for his
snootin’ iron.
“The bah shook his head and began to
cry.
T won’t play a low down trick on that
ball, by thundah,’ said my Uncle Ik“, ‘if lie
snakes me out. Thor’s a pot of hominy
ovall by the jam,' says my Uncle Ike to the
bah; ‘help yourself.’
“ The bah went over and took the clap
b lands off the pot and went down in it with
his nose ami eat half of the mass.
“ 'lio the wnole ho;:,’ says my Uncle Ike;
‘l’ll have another mess i side of it in the
iitnuiiin it 1 ain't inside of you.’
“Well,sai., guideline,;s, my Uncle Ikesays
the i ah eat the whole mess, and laid down
on the puncheons, by the side of the bunk,
wait u grunt. The next inn wilin'the watnh
Was lappin’ the doh step and was on a
s .nid, and for foh days the hah* and uiy
Uncle Ike et outen er same pot. Ou the
tilth day the bah left early in the mas uin',
and that nigot, a little aftah tho moon nz,
wmie niv Uncle Ike was settin t bv the lire
light smoking his cohncob pipe, and won
derin' what had become of his cypress raft
and the bah, thar comes the same rap at the
doh, and who should come in but the iden
tekittle bar, not a teah in his eyes, but his
lee lie black eyes shone like a bead, and he
lays down a whole hog right by the side of
my uncle Ike.
" ‘Hog aud hominy, by thunder,' says my
uncle Ike. Well, sah, the bah kep’ my
uncle Ike in hog and hominy until he took
the raft down the Savannah.’”
“I’m somewhat of a liar myself,” said one
gentleman, “but I’ll not tell my alligator
story on this trip,” and the disgusted native
bade us good night.
“Now thar’s a man admittin’ he’s a liar
himself,” said the man who told the bear
story, “and you couldn’t expect him to be
lieve another man’s storv, but everybody
who knew my uncle Ike never hearn of
him tollin' of a story that want a rock
bottom fack.”
ON RAIL AND CROSBTia.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.
Supt. Hege returned from the washouts
yesterday, where he has been ever since the
breaks on the Central.
J. A. McDuffie, General Freight and Pas
senger Agent of the Brunswick and Western
railroad, is in the city.
J. C. Bruvn, Claim Agent of the Savan
nah. Florida and Western railway, left for
New York last night, via the Atlantic
Coast line.
Marion Knowles, Passenger Agent of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway,
left for New York last night via the At
lantic Coast line.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
have had their meeting, and the next conven
tion is that of tho Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, to be held at Richmond,
Va., Oct. 10.
John G. Roberts, auditor of the receipts
of the Central railroad, and F. W. Ed
wardy, assistant traveling auditor, left last
night for Btieua Vista to straighten up the
accounts of that line and turn the books
over to the Central railroad.
Since Jan. 1, 2,428 miles of railroads in the
United States nave been placed in the hands
of receivers, with a stock and bond debt of
$153,650,(XX), against 428 miles iii the corre
sponding period of 1887, such roads having
a stock and bonded debt of $23,200,000.
The magnitude of the investments made
in southern railroads since 1880 are almost
beyond comprehension. In seven years and
a half 18,000 miles of new road, not count
ing sidings and switches, have been laid in
the fourteen southern states. This is only
2,000 miles less than the entire mileage of
the south in 18S0.
In consequence of the quarantine regula
tions of Putnam, St. John’s, Volusia, and
Lake counties. Florida, the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway will not, at
present, receive freight for any poin s in
these counties, or for any point on the Jack
sonville, Tampa and Key West and South
Florida railroads.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
railway has given notice that in consequence
of the quarantine regulations in Florida,
the company will only receipt for freights
for infected or suspected points “subject to
delay and loss from quarantine.’’ This
clause will be written in ink on the receipt,
and must be signed by the shipper.
The Central railroad received two brand
new engines from tho Scranton (Pa.) shops
yesterday. The locomotives are Dickson
make. They are after the latest patents of
improved locomotive machinery, and have
a car capacity of thirty loaded cars on any
portion of the Central. They were put up
at a cost of between $9,000 and SIO,OOO each,
and will ba used ou the main stem division.
The engineers are proud of the new loco
motives, and handle them tenderly until
more new ones are received. The conduct
ors rejoiced when the new sleeper “Fernan
dina” was turned out some days since, but
the machinists have a day of rejoic
ing now. “There is probably no
road in the United States whose
employes take more pride in their work
than the Central railroad,” said a gentle
man yesterday. “They are looking out
always for the improvements which are
added from time to time, and each set of
moil in whose department the improvement
is made.consider it a great victory for them.”
One of the sturdy old brakemen, who is
not the least in the praise of his road, was
heard to have remarked that “it is as hard
to keep a good road down as it is a good
man. The old Central was slightly ‘dis
figured,’ but she is still in the ring, and is
ready for all that offers."
English Bathing Customs.
Labouchere's Letter to the World.
I have more than ouce commented on the
absurdity of the prudish custom which pro
hibits persons of opposite sexes from
bathing together at English watering places,
even if they are husband and wife or
brother and sister. Last week tho conse
quences of this preposterous rule were strik
ingly exemplified. At Crosshaveu a young
married lady named O’Connor was bathing
there, while her husband, who was not al
lowed to accompany her, sat on the rocks.
She was suddenly carried beyond ber depth
and drowned before her husband could res
cue her. It is certainly not too much to say
that if the continental system had been in
vogue at Crosshaven this deplorable acci
dent would not have occurred. The notion
that a woman in bathing dress is an inde
cent object, or that for ber to bathe with a
male relative or friend would be improper,
is one of those peculiarly nasty ideas which
only occur to prudish people.
