ST. VINOBNT’B COMMENCEMENT. The Graduating Exercises of the Class of 1889—The Prizes. The thirty-fifth annual commencement of St. Vincent de Paul academy, was held at Masonic Temple yesterday afternoon. The exercises began at 5 o’clock and lasted until after 8 o’clock. It is doubtful if the Ma sonic Tomple ever held a prettier lot of young ladies, and certainly no school en tertainment of more merit has ever been given there. The hall was well filled with friends of the graduates, and their hearty applause of the efforts of the pupils demon strated their high appreciation. It would be a difficult matter for scholars to be more thoroughly drilled than are the pupils of St. Vincent de Paul. Their remarkable proficiency enabled them to carry out the programme in a manner surely very grati fying to their preceptors and extremely in teresting to the audience. Miss Mary K. Coleman read the saluto tory in a manner that elicided applause. It was followed by a song, “The Chase’’ by the graduates and seniors. The song was well rendered and the instrumental sextette by Misses Grady, O’Keefe, McNish, I. Smart, Hines and Demers which followed was superb. “The Day Old Bet Was Sold,” a rather pathetic Btory, was well given by Miss Annie McDoneU. A chorus by the juniors came next and the singing by both the juniors and seniors wa3 excellent. This was followed by the quartette, “Maiden’s Blush Waltz” Misses I. Smart, Coburn, Brady and Hines and which was especially given. The instrumental quartette, “De L’Elisire D’Amore,” by Misses M. Smart, Dangaix, Smart and Smith, was admirably rendered. “The Pride of Battery B,” was an in tensely interesting recitation, and was given by Miss Mamie Wagner. Misses Savarese and Dangaix sang "I Hoard a Voice," in a pretty manner, and Jthe vocal trio, “Rovr Us Swiftly,” by Misses Savarase, Dangaix and Brennan, with piano accompaniment by Mias M. Smart was one of the features of the exercises “Sounds from the Ohio,” for two piano3, by Misses Dangaix, Ehrlich, Smith and I. Smart, and “The Alpine Storm,” by Misses Smart, Greenfield, Smart and Smith, were heartily applauded. A dozen little girls gave “The Dolls’- Hos pital.” It was a particularly interesting play and the audience enjoyed it. The lit tle girls had each a doll at the miniature hospital, and they were very solicitous about tlieir patients’ health. Their anxiety annoyed the doctor, Miss Katie Brady, and she constantly reminded the little mothers that they must attend to their own affairs, as she was the doctor of that insti tution. Under her treatment the “dollies” convalesced, and finally got well enough to be taken away by their mothers. Each little girl found her own “dolly” and caressed it and said sweet things to it as she left the stage, which brought forth a storm of applause. After singing several little songs, among them, “Rock-a-bye- Baby,” the scone closed, and the little ones were heartily applauded. Another feature of the exercises was “The bhakert" by tea juniors. They were THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1889. costumed as shakers and acted their parts remarkably well, “The Old Actor’s Story,” by Miss Belle Dangaix, was listened to with rapt atten tion, and was followed by a deafening ap plause. Her rendition of the poem was as near faultless as it well could be. Miss Marian H. Smart played “Home, Sweet Home” on the piano with her left band. It was a remarkable effort, and the audience did not seem to know when to cease its cheering. Miss Annie Hilliard gave the piano solo “Polka de Concerts” with excellent effect The vocal trio, “Row Us Swiftly.” by Misses Savarese, Bell Dangaix and N. Bren nan, and the closing quartette on the piano by Misses M. Smart, Dangaix, H. Smart and L Smart, were splendidly given. Father Cafferty, assisted by M. A. O’Byrne, Esq., awarded the prizes. The special prises in the primary and interme diate departments were awarded Miss Jen nie Collins, H. M. McCarthy, J. Fleming, A. Poff, E. Gaudy, B. Heins, A. Lynch, M. Rossi ter.

Coleman, Nellie C. Bren nan, Annie E. O’Donell, Kate V. Gaudry, Agues F. Walsh and Annie It Hilliard. After the distribution of prizes, Miss Bell Dangaix read the valedictory. It was an excellent production and was read in a pleasing manner. The response by Miss Marian Smart was excellent. When she greeted the graduates she crowned each one with a fi irai wreath. The “graduating hymn” by the graduates aud undergraduates was a gem. It closed the exercises. Commencement at Hines villa. The commencement exercises of the Bradwoll institute at Hinesville took place Thursday. Miss Annie L. Outten of this city was one of the graduates and had the valedictory honors. Miss Ora Bradwell, daughter of Senator Bradwell, who is prin cipal of tho sohool, aud Miss Winnifred Hendry, were the other members of the graduating class. The diplomas wore awarded by Principal Bradwell. Thursday night tho members of the school gave a dramatic entertainment, which was one of the events of the week. All of the exercises were largely attended by people, not only from Liberty county, but from all over the state. Solicitor General Fraser, Hon. Wm. Clifton, and Mr. 8. L. Doutten were.present from Sa vannah. MR. BRANDT HURT IN PARIB. The Telfair Academy’s Director Thrown from His Carriage. A cablegram from Mr. J. J. Wilder an nounces the serious injury of Director Carl L. Brandt of the Telfair Academy, who was thrown from a carriage in Paris day before yesterday. Mr. Wilder cabled to his house here to notify Mr. Brandt’s sou, Dr. C. N. Brandt of this city and Gen. Jackson, and to telegraph Mr. Brandt’s son in New York, Dr. E. Brandt, to come to Paris at once. The failure of the cablegram to state tho extent of Mr. Brandt's injuries has caused much anxiety and alarm among his friends here. Dr. Brandt was telegraphed at once, and Mr. Wilder was cabled, yesterday for particu lars, but up to last night no answer had been received. CITY BREVITIES, Tho Southern Travelers association will hold a regular meeting to-night at Armory hall. The heavy rains of tho past two days caused a rush of water from the Ogeechee road across the lo wer portion of Laurel Grove cemetery on the east, and the city council yesterday authorized the drainage committee to take such steps as will prevent a repetition of such incursions of water in the future.

The Ocean Steamship Company to Open an Extension of Bay Street Through Its Property and a New Btreet Toward the Water Works Road—The Contemplated Improve ments on the Line of the Indian Btreet Extension—What the Steam ship Company Proposes to Do—New Industries Talked of. The differences between the city and the Central railroad authorities were finally settled yesterday by tho action of the city council in adopting the report of the special committee which has been in conference with the railroad officials for the last ten day*, authorizing the mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the city in con formity with the terms of the agreement between the special conference committee and the Central By the terras of the agreement the Ocean Steamship Company is to convey to the city a roadway fifty feet in width through the property of tbe Ocean Steamship Com pany for the proposed extension of Bay street, the extension to run in a straight line from the present terminus of Bay street, and will, at the company’s expense, fill in so much of this roadway as runs through its property, the roadway to be long to the city for the purposes of a public street and to become a portion of Bay street. The company will also convey to the city a similar roadway 50 feet wide along the western line of the Ocean Steamship Com pany’* property, now known as the “Old Stiles” road, and running northwest to a point about 2,900 leet from the intersection of Bay street as extended and the western line of the Ocean Steamship Company’s property, the roadway to begin at the inter section of the proposed extension of Bay street, and the western line of the Ocean Steamship Company's property and to run about£,9oo feet iu a northwesternly direc tion, the roadway to belong to the city for a public street. TO KEEP THE STREET IS ORDER. By the terms of the agreement the Ocean Steamship Company is to keep River street, west of the Savannah and Ogeechee canal, and to the present terminus in good order. The company also agrees that whenever any track of the Ocean Steamship Company or of the Central railr iad crosses a water main of tho city, the steamship company will keep two feet of earth between the bottom of the crossties and the top of the main and will also keep a guard plank 6xß inches ten feet on either sido of the main parallel with the tracks and securely fastened to the crossties on both sides of the track. Tbe city on its part agrees that it will not extend or prolong either Indian or River streets from their present western termini. The council committee of the whole delib erated on the report of the committee for fully an hour, when the committee roso and the council went into open session in the mayor’s private office without entering the long room. The report was submitted by Adermau Myers, chairman of the special comittee and was accepted and ratified by a unanimous vote of the eight aldermen present, Messrs. Bailey, Cann, Fallignnt, Harman, Mills, Alyers, Nichols and Reid. THE COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATION. There were some very strong considera tions which influenced the decision of the special committee in its recommendation. The fact was recognized by the committee that the property of the Ocean Steamship Company west of the canal is subject to taxation by the city, and the probable in vestment of *500,000 in addttionalimprove ments means the addition of $500,000 to the taxable property of the city. It was understood that some large manu facturing interests are looking to the lands of the Ocean (Steamship Company for a location, aud negotiations are said to be pending with a view to these extensive in dustrial results. The committee was given to understand that the old water works tract is to be converted into a local cotton yard, and such improvements made in the cost of handling cotton as to reduce tho ex pense very muoh, and tbe reduction it is said may roach as much as ten cents on the bale. The fact was also presented that the Ocean Steamship Company is now filling up these lands, which was considered as of great sanitary importance to the healthy of the city, and that the compauy contemplates widening River street to about SO feet. Tho serious amount involved in damages connected with the opening of Indian street, and the expense of filling it in over the marsh lands, together with the danger to life in making a public highway across a network of railroad tracks had great weight in determining the conclusions of the com mittee. ’ GEN. ALEXANDER TALKS. Gen. Alexander was seen after the action of the council, and he entered into a very full explauation of the plans of the company. He said that the com pauy was unwilling to cut through its lands for a roadway from Bay street extension,but it had given a 50-foot roadway for a distance of 2,900 feet along the western line of its property to the water works road, as far as the committee desired, but the company is perfectly will ing to give the city a roadway still farther to the Vale Royal wharf on the river front. The roadway given along the western line of the company’s property will make the distance only about 200 yards farther than if the road had cut through the company’s lands. This was neither desirible to the company nor practi cal. It is the plan of the company, Gen. Alexander says, to encourage the location of manufacturing industries on the com pany’s property and he corroborated the re port that negotiations are pending for the establishment of anew industry here, which he says has not gone far enough yet to par ticularize. OBJECTIONS TO EXTENDING INDIAN STEET. Thecompauy’s greatest objection to open ing Indian street farther westward, was because it would interfere with the exten sive plans agreed upon for remodeling the wharves and extending the facilities for the transportation of freights by steamer. Under the agreement now decided upon the work will begin soon, and, in fact, has already begun. The plan contemplates no less than twenty-seven tracks leading to the extensive system of wharves determined upon, and which, Gen, Alexander says, will require two or three years to complete. The improvements, Gen. Alexander says, will begin with extensive lumber wharves 900 feet square at the western end of the property, with a reservation of 300 feet of additional water frontage to be built up as the lumber interests warrant. Six railroad tracks will be constructed to the lumber wharves. Next, on the east, will be 900 square feet, for fertilizers, wharves and sheds, with a reservation of 375 feet of water frontage on the east, and to which fertilizer wharves six tracks will .be built. There are other improvements contem plated in the remodeling of the preseut wharves to the east, and when all has been completed the company will have about 5,000 feet of wharves, or nearly a mile. To Go Before Council. The city council will hold a special meet ing at 4 o’clock next Monday afternoon to hear from Capt. D. G. Purse, through his counsel, R. R. Richards, Esq., on the tax assessment for the Liberty street asphalt pavement improvements upon- abutting property of Capt. Purse, the latter having petitioned council for the hearing. Bleeper to Suwanee. Parties desiring to go to Suwanee Sul phur Springs, Florida, can now procure a sleeper on Savannah, Florida and Western I railway train leaving at 8 p. m. TO START WORK AT ONCE. The First Ed on Extension Contract to Be Let To-day. Gen. Alexander, president ot the Central railroad, authorized the statement yester day that the Eden and Americas extension has been located as far west as the Ohoopee river, a distance of sixty miles, and the contract will probably be let to-day, and it is expected to hare the road ready for oper ation by Not. L The rails, 63%-pound steel, were ordered yesterday, and contracts for the ties, Gen. Alexander says, will be closed at once. “We want to get the road in operation as soon as possible,” be said, “to open out the heavy lumber trade of thafc section, which is the richest timber belt in the country." •‘Does the company own the timber lands?" he was asked. “Nothing but the right of way," he re plied. “The Central’s policy is to develop the country and not to speculate in lands. It opens up the country for the people and transports the products of the territory through which its lines run." located to the ohoopee. “What is the proposed line of the Savan nah Florida and Western westard?” “It has been located only as far as the Ohoope river. I haven’t the profile here, and cannot say whether it strikes at or near Ohoopee. It touches Malden branch, and will run to or near Mount Vernon westwalfi to Eastman. There are two surveying corps locating the road from the Ohoopee river to Amencus; one corps working eastward from Eastman to the Ohoopee, and the other westward from Eastman in the direc tion of Americus.” “When do you expect to let the contract for the rest of the road?” “Well, I do not like to say I will do any thing until I am ready to do it, but It is the intention to put the road under contract as soon a3 possible after the entire line has been located. When it will be completed I do not want to say with certainty. BRIDGES THE ONLY DELAY. Bridge construction is always slow, as was shown by the bridge over the Chatta hoochee, which we have just completed, so we can now run into Columbia. We will not have so much trouble and delay with the bridge work on the Eden and Americus extension, although the trestle work over the Ozeechee at Eden has been slow. There are about 1,000 feet of trestle work yet to construct, but I think this will not re quire more than six weeks.” Gen. Alexander was asked if anythiag important was done by the Central direct ory, which met yesterday, and he replied that it was merely the routine monthly meeting, which, in the regular order, should have been held next week, being the regular time in July, but as some of the directors desired to be out of the city next week, by mutual consent the meeting was held yesterday. Pat Calhoun, Esq., was the only out of town director present, and he returned to Atlanta last night. THE RAIN KEEPB FALLING. Nearly Two Inches the Amount of Yesterday's Downpour.

The barometer was very low in the northwest last night and the area is advancing slowly eastward. The storm, reported in Montana and Dakota yesterday morning, was central last night in Dakota. It is the opinion of the observers here that this storm, advancing eastward over the northern sections of the United States, will tend to make the temperature much higher throughout the whole south. Basing a prediction upon this a gradual rise of the thermometer within the next three or four days, bring ing quite a warm wave, is expected, and very warm temperature will be reported here for the first part of July. It is not likely that the rain will continue more than a day longer. During the last thirty-six hours 3% inches of rain have fallen. Since the rain began, a week ago, about 5.75 inches have fallen. This is about 4 inches above the normal for the week. The indi cations for to-day point to more rain. THE SEA KEEPS ROUGH. The Schooner Robert H. Parker’s Long Voyage. flThe schooner Robert H. Parker arrived here yesterday from Philadelphia with a cargo of railroad iron. She was thirty-one days on the voyage, and Capt. Stallman says that it was one of the roughest voy ages that he has ever experienced on the coast. The vessel sailed from Philadelphia May 38, and came out from the breakwater on June 4. She has been at sea ever since. She experienced very heavy weather, the wind being mostly from north east to north, northwest. Cupt. Steelman was compelled to scud the vessel for thirty hours under three-reefed foresail, and at times there were fully 100 tons of water on deck. Every thing, however, was battened down. The deck load, consisting ot steel rails, shifted twice during the voyage. The schooner was twice driven down as far as latitude 30’ 48’ and as high as 32’ 40’ lati tude. She arrived off Tybee last Monday night. Capt Steelman said that he experi enced the heaviest weather of the whole trip off Tybee. About ten days ago he spoke the two-masted schooner J. B. Ander son in about longitude 74* 50’ and latitude 34° 10’ in want of sails. She had nothing on but a trysail. Everything else was all right It is presumed, however, that she has reached port by this time. AT THE COURTS. Gossip Picked Up Here and There in the Court Rooms.

The claim had been referred to tho drain age committee, and its chairman, Alderman Falligant reported adversely on tbe claim, stating that the horse was not worth over (25, tnat it was an old horse; that it was running at large in violation of a city ordi nance at the time of the accident, and that it appeared that the claim had been sus piciously slow in coming in so that the city would, with difficulty, gather evidence.
