NOT TO ACT HASTILY,
THE COUNCIL LOOKING INTO THE
INDIAN STREET MATTER
The Central's General Manager and
Counsel and Ex-Alderman Thomas
Before the Committee of the Whole
—The County Commissioners Com
mittee and the Fertilizer Delegation
Fail to Get a Bearing Yet—What
Members of the Council Say About
the Matter—The Central’s Plan.
The committee of tbe whole of the
city council met yesterday at 12:30
o'clock to discuss the closing of
Indian street west of tho canal.
Messrs. Smart, Read and Estill of the board
of county commissioners and Messrs. John
W. Huger and Laurence Hartshome were
present in the mayor’s office, but on the
opening of the meeting were requested to
retire. General Manager M. 8. Belknap of
the Central railroad, Capt. H. C. Cunning
barn, counsel for the road, and ex-Aider
man D. R. Thomas, who were also present,
were invited to remain.
Alderman Myers objected to discussiug
the question of closing Indian street until an
understanding had been arrived at as to
what was the agreement about opening Bay
street. Ex-Alderman Thomas, who was
chairman of the street and lane committee
in the last council, explained at length the
agreement between the Central railroad
and the city, by which the former agreed
to give a right of wav through the Yale
Royal tract in consideration of the city
granting the railroad company an exten
sion of time in which it was to lay its tracks
on River street.
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Maj. Belknap said that there was no
such understanding, but ex-Alderman
Thomas insisted that ther e wa. That it
had been agreed upon, and that further than
that, an ordinance was passed at the time
giving the railroad the right to use River
street for its tracks.
About 1 :3j o’clock, the county com
missioner’s committee, in waiting, be
came impatient and inquired of
one of the officials as to the
probability of the commissioners and
the fertilizer people being invited in. The
official went into the mayor’s office, and in
a minute came out and reported that it was
probable that the outsiders might be in
vited in some time within a week. The op
ponents of closing up Indian street at once
took thoir departure.
Members of council were seen after the
meeting, but were not inclined to be com
municative upm the subject. Alderman
Myers said nothing had been accomplished,
but the matter, he said, is being investi
gated. Alderman Myers was unable to say
whether the Central has encroached upon
the line of the proposed extension of Indian
street.
COUNCILMEN NOT TALKATIVE.
Alderman Harmon, chairman of the
street and lane committee, said in substance
about the same thing. He added that tbe
matter is not in the hands of the street and
lane committee, and therefore he did not
care to express an opinion as to tbe status
of the case until after the matter had been
thoroughly investigated by the committee
of the whole, which is now considering it.
He said that he was not a member of the
last council and could not therefore speak
officially as to what contract, it any, existed
between the city and the Central railroad.
It would have been better, if a contract had
been agreed upon, that it should have been
put in writing and the documentary evi
dence would then have been a clearer guide
to the council than a verbal understanding,
about which points of difference might
arise. He was unprepared to say whether
or not the Central’s improvements between
Wadley street and the caual basin have
trenched upon the line of the proposed
Indian street extension westward. This
will have to be determined by survey.
THE CENTRAL’S PLAN.
The impression seems to prevail that the
Central is interested only in closing up the
river front so that no other line of railway
can get in from the Ocean steamship
wharves to the wharves of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway east of the
city. If it can prevent the extension of
Indian and River streets west of Water
street, their present western terminus, the
Central will have virtually closed up the
river front of tho entire business portion of
the city. This is the stragetic point which
has called a halt u> any farther extension
westward of the two streets named, but the
Central claims it has not enough tracks to
the wharves, and that is why it does not
want the streets extended.
It is understood that the railroad com
pany will submit some kind of a proposition
to council looking to an adjustment of ex
isting differences, and until that is done
members of the council are not inclined to
commit themselves upon the subject. If the
council closes the streets it is said litiga
tion may follow to open and extend them.
The property referred to yesterday morn
ing as having been purchased by the Cen
tral Railroad and Ocean Steamship Com
panies is the Central Cotton Press. The
property was originally located on the river
front, just east of the cotton exchange. It
was then centrally located, from whence its
name is derived. When it was chartered
in the name of the Coutral Colton Press, it
retained the name when the owners moved
it near the canal. It was purchased a few
years ago by the Ocean Steamship Com
pany.
WAITING FOR FUEL. OIL.
The Test of the Crematory Cannot be
Made Sooner Than Friday.
President Hughes of the United States
Gas and Fuel Company, who has just com
pleted the Hughes crematory for burning
the garbage of the city, received a telegram
yesterday from Cleveland that another
shipment of fuel oil had been forwarded
but Mr. Hugnes informs a Morning Njc\vs
reporter that it can hardly reach here be
fore Thursday, and that the test of the
crematory canuot possibly be made before
Friday, as the first shipment of oil was cut
off by accidents to the railroads by flood.
It will come along after awhile on the Coast
Line, but at present it is sidetracked in the
mountains of Pennsylvania, as wus learned
yesterdav by telegraph. The second ship
ment will come via the Louisville and Nasb
road, which is by a longer route aud a
slower schedule.
Wood fires have been kept up in the
crematory during the last week, to dry out
the furnace, and every indication p huts to
the successful working of the crematory.
Under the contract the company has an
other week in whioh to put it to a practical
test. .
Mr. Hughes was asked what effect delays
in the receipt of oil will have hereafter in
the working of the crematory, and he said
that the reservoir will hold two medium
sized rairpad tanks of oil, sufficient to
operate the furnace for fully a month and a
half, ample time for ordinary con
tingencies.
NO DECISION YET.
The Inspectors of Hulls Read Marine
Law and Will Decide To-Day.
“Did the inspectors of hulls reach a con
clusion in the St. Nicholas-Safford col
lisionr a Morning News reporter inquired
of Capt. Thomas H. Laird last night.
“Not yet,” replied Capt. Laird, “but I
think that by noon Tuesday we will have
our report ready. We spent a great deal of
time going over the papers aud studying
the Revised Statutes of the United States,”
the captain added, “but I am pretty sure
we will finish up by 12 o’clock to-morrow.”

NEARLY TWO INCHES OF RAIN.
The Weather Making Up for Itself—
The Signal Bureau's Forecasts.
Tbe heaviest rain that has fallen in Savan
nah within the last two months fell yester
day. The rainfall for the day up to 8
o’clock last night was 1.80 inches. It began
to rain here Sunday night. The heaviest
fall reported in this district was 2.20 inches
at Live Oak. Jesup reported a rainfall of
1.05 inches. Savannah reported the third
heaviest rainfall.
The rain extended no farther west on the
Central railroad than Eden. No rain was
reported at Bainbridge and Smithville.
Very light showers fell at Alanaha and
Albany. Jacksonville reported a rainfall
of 1.30 inches and Cnarleston .fifiof an inch.
Tbe average rainfall for the Savannah dis
trict was .54 of an inch.
The following order was received from
the signal bure m at Washington, D. C., at
11:30 o’clock yesterday morning.
Hoist cautionary southeast signal. Savannah
and Savannah section Storm in eastern gulf,
moving northeast. Krpect westerly gales, with
heavy rain. Also ordered at Jacksonville and
Jacksonville section.
The storm is moving up tho coast. The
reports at the signal office at 8 o’clock last
night, show that the storm is to tbe south
of Jacksonville, moving east, northeast. It
w ill move up the Atlantic coast and passed
Savannah last night, when the grea'est
wind velocity was reached. The velocity
did not exceed, however, thirty to thirty
five miles per hour. The barometer at
Jacksonville reached 29.58. At Savannah
it was 29.80. The wires are down at
Titusville and Point Jupiter, Fla.,
and no report was received from those
stations last night. The intensity of the
storm has not/ so far, exceeded over thirty
five miles an hour at Cedar Keys. The
wind there was from northeast. A storm
is advancing over the northwest toward
tbe great lakes, and the barometer is very
low.
The temperature throughout almost the en
tire west is high. Throughout the Mississippi
valley, where light showers fell yesterday,
the thermometer registered unusually high.
Tho indications for to-day are that the rain
of the morning will bo followed by winds
and clearing weather.
Local predictions by the observer at
Savannah have been ordered by the
chief signal officer at Washington.
Observer von Herrmann will begin
his prognostications July 1. These
predictions will be for tho different dis
tricts. A forecast of the weather will Le
made by each observer who has received
the order for his own district. The predic
tions will be published the morning of each
day. This is an advance step in the signal
service, and one that is going to be appre
ciated, a prominent business man said
yesterday.
Until two weeks ago nothing but general
predictions were made by the bureau. This
was superseded by an order to forecast the
weather for each state. This was consid
ered a good move. It was of a general
character, however, so far as the districts
wore concerned. The prediction for the
state might have been verified in but a few,
and, perhaps, a single district, so that
it was still important to particularize, and
the order to each observer in tho different
district to make forecasts, it is thought,will
be a popular one. The order states that
the general forecasts, as telegraphed from
tho chief office, must necessarily be brief,
and are now confined to a simple statement
of what is likely to occur over the
greater part of an extensive
area of country, neglecting necessarily local
peculiarities of climate. There is no way
in which the degree of certainty properly
attached to the forecast can be conveyed in
the brief message now sent. It lias been
shown that no higher degree of accuracy
than 90 per cent, can be obtained In giving
a synopsis of the existing wcatner for the
differeut states if confined to the limited
number of words now used in making the
forecasts.
The new order goes on to say that the
chief signal officer, with a view to further
extending the usefulness of tbe observa
tions and of testing and stimulating the
Erofessional knowledge of the observers, he
as determined to authorize them to make
forecasts for their respective stations.
These forecasts will be made only by such
commissioned and non-commissioned
oflicers and privates as are specially named,
and under no circumstances will the
authority be delegated to another.
For tho present the forecasts or prog
nostications given will be confined to an
expression of opinion as to whether or not
precipitation will occur during the follow
ing twenty-four hours. These predictions
are not by any means intended to replace
the general system of forecasts, but to
supplement them. At stations where suf
ficient telegraphic data are received to
give the observer a clear idea of the
meteorological conditions of the country,
he may explain to those seeking informa
tion, the direction in which tho storm
center has moved, the rain-area advanced,
and in what manner the winds have
shifted during the past twelve or twenty
four hours.
Signal Observer von Herrmann has made
unofficial predictions on several occasions
since he has been stationed here, and each
time they have been verified. An observer is
better fitted to make forecasts of weather
when he has become thoroughly familiar
with the configuration of his distriot, and
the signal officers says that the longer he
remains at one station the better prepared
he is to mako predictions.

The woman went out to visit a neigh! or,
and while abseuf, the children accidentally
set the place on fire. The house was the
property of Mr. Thomas Henderson.
With regard to the youug man Travis,
charged with stealing the gold medal be
longing to the Savannah Cadets, it is but
right to state that the young man was not
a member of the Savannah Young Men’s
Christian Association or elsewhere, but
was simply aided by the association as a
matter of kindness on h : s arrival here as a
stranger, and it is in no way responsible for
his misdeeds.
RIVER AND HARBOR NOTES.
Tho steamer Governor Safford brought
over a colored excursion from Beaufort
yesterday and returned last night. Before
leaving, the Safford took on fifty tons of
coal and will proceed from Beaufort straight
to New York, where she will be engaged
for the balance of tbe summer season on
the route between Yonkers aud Bay Ridge.
Capt. McCollum said before leaving here
that ho expects to return south, to Florida,
in tbe fall, probably about Oot. 1, and will
remain there for the winter and will come
to Savannah in the spring. The Governor
Safford has been a popular steamer here
and has received a generous patronage by
excursion parties.

AT THE COURTS.
Gossip Picked Up Here and There In
the Court Rooms.
An interesting ejectment suit occupied
the session of the superior court yesterday.
Adele Kendy sues to eject Isabella Beatty.
All the parties are colored,and as there were
three “Prince Kendys” in the case, grand
father, son and grandson, it was a puzzle
sometimes to tell which generation was re
ferred to in the testimony. Adele Kendy
claims by proscriptioujand by
C. N. West, Esq., and defendant’s counsel
are La Roche and Wilson. The testimony
waf all in when the court took a recess yes
terday at 3 o’clock, and argument will be
gin at 1.0 o’clock this morning. The
property at issue is located in Yamacraw
and numbers some five or six small houses
and lots.
In the superior court yesterday morning
in the motion hour in the Pearson & Spann
case the court granted further time to
connsel to confer together with a view of
effecting a settlement satisfactory to all the
parties at issue so that tbe supplementary
decree might be a consent decree. Should
this not jbe effected then a day will be set
to hear argument in the matter.
The grand jury of the superior court will
convene next Tuesday.
At the morning service of the city court

and a mandamus issued to forestall the
election. The contest promises to be as well
contested in the courts as it will be at the
polls.
THE FORD’S PEOPLE.
The Combination That the Association
Has Made Up for the Summer.
The Ford Dramatic Association will in
augurate its summer season about July 1.
Mr. and Mrs. James Neill, who are now in
New York, will leave there on Thursday’s
steamer with Mr. H. S. Duffield, Miss Helen
Sedgwick, Miss Julia Arthur and Miss Nel
lie Van Sickle, who, with Mr. Lawrence
Hstnley, will make up the Fords’ profes
sional people for t is season.
Mr. Neill and Mrs. Neill, nee Miss Annie
Helen Blancke, will receive a warm wel
come front Savannah people, to whom they
are so well,known. Mr. Duffield was with
the Fords’ three years ago, and is one of the
hardest workers and most capable actors
that tbe Fords have ever had. Miss Sedg
wick is a popular soubrette, and her songa
and dances have made her a favorite whero
ever she has been. Mies Arthur and Miss
Van Sickle are both well-known and tal
ented actresses. Miss Arthur will probably
be leading lady.
Mr. Hanley will join the Fords as soon as
he closes his engagement with Modjeska,
with whom he is now filling Booth and
Barrett’s unfilled dates. The association,
with its excellent combination of taleut, is
prepared to give the public a season of
amusement sucu as the- Fords have never'
yet given.

TWODAYS WILL SETTLE IT
THE NEW RAILROAD CANVABB
ABOUT WOUND UP.
Not Quite $28,000 of the $50,000 for
the Aznerlcua Road Raised—The Com
mittee to Abandon tbe Canvass This
Week Unless Renewed Interest Is
Taken—Tbe South Bound Canvass to
Be Taken Up Now—What the Pro
jectors Propose.
The Savannah, America* and Mont
gomery railroad enterprise seems to be on
its last legs, as far as the Savannah fund
goes to indicate the public sentiment. It
has been understood for the past two weeks
that if the 450,000 subscription was not
made up by June 20—next Thursday—the
committee would abandon it.
At last account! the subscription had not
quite reached $28,000, and that announce
ment, and the lack of general enthusiasm
which the canvassing committee met with,
put a damper on tbe enterprise. There was
to have been a conference meeting
at the office of Josepli Hull yesterday,
but no ope except Mr. I. G. Haas, secre
tary of the committee, attended, so that the
two members of the committee of 114 did
not feel Iko acting. Since the appoint
ment of the committee of 114 there have
been two called meolings of the committee,
and twenty members was the highest at
tendance. Some of the members of the
enlarged committee have not subscribed a
dollar.
MAY BE RAISED BUT NOT LIKELY.
Mr. Joseph Hull said yesterday that the
money might yet be raised by a systematic
canvass, but there does not now appear to
be any likelihood that any general effort
will be made to do so. Those who
have taken an active interest in the can
vass, and who have, themselves, subscribed
liberally, are disgusted with the apathy and
selfishness met with on every hand, and do
not hesitate to say so. They say that the
policy of the many seems to be to stand
back and let the few bear all the burdens,
thinking that the latter will do so rather
than let the road be directed elsewhere, and
the few frankly say that while they are
willing to do their share they don’t propose
to pull chestnuts out of the fire for those
who are hanging back, and with this
variance, if there is not a disposi
tion shown by those who have been
standing back to come to the front, the
enterprise may be said to have been
practically abandoned at this end of the
line.
THE CENTRAL ON THE MOVE.
A gentleman said yesterday that Col.
Hawkius has cut the Central out of some
rights of way at the Cauoochee river by
clearing up a proposed route across the
river, and at tho proposed crossings of
other waterways, and that the Central is
paying woodsmen at tho rate of $1 per day
to clear rights of way along its proposed
Eden extension, and has at one or two
places outgeneraled Col. Hawkins.
The South Bound enterprise, which was
permitted by its projectors to await the
canvass for the fund to aid the Americus
road, is now to be taken up for considera
tion. The projectors do not ask any dona
tions, but want Savannah to subscribe some
450,000 to $75,000 to the stock of the road.
The projectors have never had any doubt
that this amount of stock will be taken
here.
TO OO OVER TOE SOUTH BOUND.
Mr. Herman Myers and James K. Gar
nett left last night for Barnwell, S. C., to
meet Col. Mike Brown and others in a con
ference, and to go over the BarnweU road,
and the road building to Columbia, which
are to be a part of the South Bound. It is
quite probable that the matter will be
determined at the Barnwell conference this
week whether to go ahead and build the
road. There is only a gap of some thirty
miles to complete the South Bound from
Barnwell to Columbia, connecting there
with other lines of railway running east,
west and north. Messrs. Myers and Garnett
will make a careful inspection of the line
from Barnwell to Columbia before their
return, and it is not improbable that an
early decision will be reached to push the
South Bound from Barnwell to Savannah
as rapidly as possible.
STANDING OF THE LEAGUES.
Now Orleans. Boston and St. Louis
the Three Leaders.
Whatever may be the future of the
Southern league the last week cannot be
said to have been a very brilliant or encour
aging one from a Charleston standpoint.
The club played four games with New Or
leans and lost three of them, making ten
games that Powell’s Pelicans have taken
from Charleston out of twelve played since
the beginning of the season. The result is
that Charleston has lost much of the ground
gained by her while off on the first trip, and
is now beiug pressed bv Chattanooga for
second place, the Iron Heavers having bet
tered their po ition greatly in the late
games with Atlanta and Mobile.
The following tables show the standing of
the clues in the three big leagues up to and
including Sunday:

Ancient Greece has caught the fever for
railway building. The government ha* in
vited bide for 543 miles of line*, of which
the principal one is to be 214 miles long,
forming a connecting link between the
Austrian and Turkish systems.
The number of electric street railways in
America is now sixty-nine, operating 346
miles of road, and a large number more
are under construction or projection. One
of the existing roads operates miles,
two others fourteen miles each and several
others from ten to twelve miles each.
On the British railways during 1888 there
were 977 persons killed and 8,807 were in
jured, compared with precisely the same
number killed and 7,747 injured in 1887,
showing an increase of 1,060 pers mal acci
dents during the year. This is the record
in a country having only about 20,000 miles
of railway.
British railway employes are more in
clined to make provision for the future than
those in this country where wages are
higher and the prospects of an improved
condition are better. The Superannuation
Fund Association of the London and North
western railway now shows the euormous
balance of £569,849, or nearly $■>,859,000.
During the past yoar its income was
£49.863 and its expenditure* £15,153,
leaving a balance for the year of £34,709,
or about $173,000. While these figures in
dicate a wonderfully sound financial condi
tion, the question arises why a portion of
this great surplus is not distributed among
the members of the association, thereby in
creasing their tangible benefits. But the
fact that this and similar British railway
benefit associations have been able to acnu
mulate a large capital indicates the power
of associated efforts to raise money, even
where the individual contributions are
comparatively small.

ADVXBING THEIR FLOCKS.
Two Colored Pastors Zealous for the
Early Closing Movement.
Rev. E. K. Love, pastor of the First Afri
can Baptist church, was very earnest in his
sermon on early closing at his Sunday
morning service. Ha said: “The dry goods
merchants of this city, or rather their em
ployes, want shorter hours, and I don’t
think it is anything but fair and reasonable
to help them all we can. You know that
according to the gospel the day should be
divided into eight hours for work, eight
hours for recreation and eight
hours for sleep, but seventeen
hours, which they say they have
to work on Saturdays, is altogether too long.
It is nothing but an act of charity and
humanity to lessen the hours, and 1 want
this to go on record that the First African
Baptist church is at the head of any move
ment that will tend to lessen the hours of
labor of the salespeople of Savannah. I
can almost be positive that my congrega
tion will help them by doing their shopping
on week days be'ore 6 o’clock and on Satur
days before 9 o’clock. Talk about cruelty
to animals. Is not this more than that?
I simply say we want to close
the stores in proper time. Look xt
the temDtations on Saturday night to re
sist. Many of our brethren work in .those
big stores, and they are not lazy and care
less If they don’t come to church regular.
No! It is simply because they are over
worked. Again I tell you, do you do your
shopping in the day time, and let these tired
set of people get a little rest. You do an
act of charity, besides having the advantage
of selecting your goods in the day time.”
Rev. Gilbert W. Griffin of Bryan street
church gave an interesting talk to a
large congregation on the early
closing. Ho said: “All the sufferings
of Jesus Christ were to better humanity.
As we profess to be a religious class of peo
ple. why not follow the example of Christ
and do all we can to better humanity? As
in the case of these overworked clerks, let
us make a resolution that we will do all in
oar power to lessen their hours of labor, and
you will receive the blessings of God, as well
as the blessings of these clerks. Religion
is a great thing, but we do not want our
minds to fly too far from humanity. The
c lored race think themselves au inferior
people. I want to kill this idea. We keep
ourselves down. There are two things that
we want besides religion to better our
selves. The first is more care end respect
to ourselves. The second is more money.
How are we to obtain this respect? When
we are to let the white race see that we are
ready and willing to do all we can for them
in an honest, Christian way, and our first
move in this direction is to do all we
can for the Retail Dry Goods Salesmen’s
Association. I will do all in my power.
Now let me see how many in this church
are going to stay a way from the stores after
5:30 o’clock.” (At this every one in the
church raised his or her hand). “God bless
you,” said the preacher, “and may he help
you to keep this resolution. You may think
this a small request,’but if you only knew
bow many hearts this would gladden you
would tako it as a request from God him
self. Once more I appeal to your consciences
to keep this resolution. I know you are
doing the right thing and I want you to
keep it up.
Unqualified Approval.
Allcock’s Pobous Plaster is the only
external remedy that has the unqualified
recommendation of professional men as
well as that of the public in general.
It is the only genuine porous plaster, and
all other so-called porous plasters are noth
ing more than perforated counter-irritants
made to sell on tho reputation of All-
COCK’s. Beware of them.

A Missouri Pharmacist.
For years I have sold drugs in Kansas and
Missouri, with a large experience in selling
patent medicines, and bear testimony to the
remarkable efficacy of Swift’s Specific. It
cured more people of contagious blood poi
son than any other medicine that I ever
sold, and I have sold all kinds. One man
(whose address I will give to those who wish
it) had his hair all taken out by contagious
blood poison. Scales came all over his head,
face and body. His bones finally became
involved, and he went from bad to worse
under the ordinary treatment. This man
was cured sound and well by S. 8. 8. I
could name dozens of the worst cases who
were cured of all sorts of blood diseases by
S. S. S. after exhausting all other treat
ment. One gentleman of Osceola, Mo., who
tried all the treatment of Hot Springs and
other springs, was finally cured by 8. 8. 8.
My brother was cured of eczema by taking
S. S. S. after he had tried ali other treat
ment. I will cheerfully give names and
addresses to any wuo wish them.

Advice to Motners.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once;
it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev
ing the child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.’’ It is very
pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, soft
ens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind,
regulates the bowels, and is the best known
remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from
teething or other causes. Twenty-five cent*
a bottle.
