The Columbus Enqniter-Sun calls Repre lentative Go don’s bill to amen I tue consti tution so as to do • w<y witn tho first ad second reading of bills, except tho titles, a measure to sav® time. It might have said that it was a measure to save both time and money. A good many of tme Georgia newspapers are opposed to the bill for sailing the Okefe nokee swarnps at cents an acre. T ,y say that for $40,000 the pr -perty c“ulil be drained, and that in a few years it could be sold for 1 5 an acre. According t > the re port of Gen.

A bold attempt to kidnap a 6-yea--old girl was made on the outskirt of Bloom field, N. J., a few days ago.

Cardinal Gibbons’ book “Our Christian Heritage” will appear next October. Parts of it have been submitted to an Vssociated Press reporter. It does not de il with con troversies agitated since the Reformation, nor aim to vindic te the claims of the Catholic church as superi >r to those cf the separate branches of ch i tia ity It has nothing to say against any Christian de nomination that rtill retains faith in at least the divi .e mission cf Jesus Christ. , The cardinal concludes the introduction with the following: “How rapidly ha e the sectional bate and fierce animosities en gendered by our iate civil war been allayed. In both houses of congress and several of our state legislatures are foun 1 to-day rep resentatives who fought a ainst. a<Y> other, but are n>.w framing laws for the elfare of our common couutt y." Bavannah’s Fire Serv es. In the New York Commercial Bulletin of July 18 there is an article entitled “Savannah’s Pe it” It bears pret’y strong marks f having been written in this city. If it was not it is quit# safe to ssy that the informa ion upon w.dch it is based was fur i* ed by some one living here. While the article contains much that Is probably true it is calculated to give a tmsleahng impression. T. e charge is made that there arc defec’s in the city’* water supp’y and that the fire depar.meut is iticffi nut. Asa mtter of fact, the e is an ample supply of water in all parts of the cty to wh ch the water system extends. Th® chisf fireman has stated repeatedly within the las, few weeks that he has never fai ed to get an abundant supple of water at every fire which has occurred since he has been in charge of the fire depar ment. It is true that there is not pressure enough to pe; mit o> an effective use of hose attar ed directly to the fire plugs when the engiues are pumping from the mains, but depo de ce is not placed upou the pressure in t e mains to throw wa'er upon burning buddings, but upon the engines. In New York there i nupressur- worth mentioning in the mai s. The Bulletin article says that there are virtually ouly thiee engines to prot c the whole of :he city. 1 hat stateme .t is incor rect. There are five engines, fo rof which arefi st-c'asV and the fifth i> capable ot doing ex t llent service. Ihe city council is criticised in he B.illelin's article for seve al tilings, one of wuich is that its fi e committee t.as fadel to provide the fire engines wi:b hea ers, altnough ordered to do so several mouths eg . It is impossible t say why there has boon suen a re nark able delay in purchasing the heaters. The tire committee, or the council perhaps, can explal i the delay. The heaters nave be u ordered, however, and will be i.i use prob ably wit in three weeks. Another fire engine has been ordered also, and the con rm-t for it requires that it shall bsrady for delivery between the Ist and 15th of next mouth. There is no doubt that there have been a great many fires in this city this year, but with the excep ion of the great fire of Apri. li none of them have been very disastrous. 1 deed, with toe exception of that fire it is doubtful if the loss from fires for the first six months of this year was greater than the loss for the first six months of last year, or than the avorage loss for the fi st six mouti sif a y year for a number of years. The great fire of April 6 could not have been stopped, probably, sooner than it was, even if the fire serv.ee had been twi e as zrea as it was, and the water supply as abundant as could have been furnish and by a rive . The wind blew a gale, and the fire was carried fro.n one bui.ding to anotner with remarkable rapidity. The wonder is not that tue fii e was so great, but that it was not greater. Tho number of fires that have occurred since tho great fire does not show a defec ive water supply, or au inefficient fire depart neut. The frequency of fires has no connection with the water supply or the fire dep rt me it. The qu stio i is, was tin re a 1 ck of eater or inefficie .t fir® service at any of the fires? Who is the ewho is prepared to say there was either? Was not the Miller fi e confined to the buildings in which it origi nated, notwithstanding they were filled witn inflammable mttrial*? Was not the Gerinai e fire well handled? Rim over the list of all the ether fir s critically and can didly and will it not be admitted hat the ti e service and wa or supply were satis factory at. all of them? Are fires of the same charac er handled to better advant age in other cities? When a largo number of fires has oc curred in a city in a abort period of time, and a good deal of property has been de stroyed, there arc naturally many expres sions of hasty judgment. There is a dis position o blame somebody or to find fault with something. There may be excellent reasons for condemning somebody or some thing in connection with tne recent fires i.. thisci.y, but nobody knows who.her there are or not. Ii view of the many complaints that are made, would it not bo advisable for the city council to make au investiga tion of some of the thit.g* com plained of? If there is anything rong it is necessary to find out what it is before a rotnedy can be applie 1. It is folly to work blindly. If there is nothing ths matter with the watrr mi pply or th® fire service, let it be so stated. If there is, lot the remedy be applied. There seems to be :io doubt that some of tho recent fires ware of incendiary origin. The ciiief fireman mentions several tha. ought to have been carefully but vigor no and investigated. Wore thev so investigated? Tuere is another t ing to which the Morn ing News ca led attention some time ago, but concerning which notiling lias yet been dooe, and that is the condition of the cellars and lofts of some of the business houses. Ai e n >t seme of these places sources of grett danger? Tnoy ought to bn in spected every week a id those responsible for them compelled to keep them free from rubbish. By the middle of next month the fire service will be greatly improved. With a new engine and heaters Savannah’s fire servioe ought to be as efficieu. as that of any other city of her size in the country. Carnagio and tho Tariff. The greit strike in the iron mills in Penn sylvania, in which Mr. Car.i eg.a is the prin cipal owner, has been settled. T e work men were 'orcei. however, to accept a reduction of wages. Il u not very Img since Mr. Carnegie nas telling the workmen of the country that the election of G n. Harrison aud the continuance • f the high protective ta iff pol.cy of the Republic m party m >ant better wages for work nen, au 1 more prosperous times for all daises of pe iple. Doub less a great many of Mr. Carnegie’s workmen believed what lie told the n, and voted in accordance with his advice. They are wondering now, p onably, whether they wei e not duped by him. He got their votes for his ca ididate aud his po.ioy, out he is not paying as good wages now as he was then. Mr. Carnegie ought to explain why it is that with a high protective tariff, of the bent-fl s of whico he so frequently boasts, he reduces wages. His workmen eertainly have reason to doubt the wisdom of the tariff advocated by the Republican party. Wages were pretty fair while the Dem t crattc party wa, m power and was trying to reduce the tariff. As soon as the Republi can party came into power on a platform favoring a continuation of the high pro tect, Vb tariff policy, emplo nrs in nearly all parts of the country began to reduce wages. What have t,e protectionists to say in answer to this condition of affairs? THE MORNING NEWSI SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1889. Why a Board of Arbitration? The question whether the state shall pay the lessees of the Western and Atlantic rail road anything for betterments is the one before the legislature that is attracting t e most attention. The 1-sseee want it settled by a board of arbi ration composed of five members. Ti ey propose that two of the members shall be cb'oen by th state, two by the lessees and that the four msmbsrs thus ch sen shall choose the fifth member. But why should the legislature shift the responsibility which devolve* upon it to a board if arbitration? There are no facts in dispute and thre is, therefore, nothing virtually to arbitra e. A Com nlttee ap p>i tel y the legislature has made a thor ough examii.ati u of t e Western and At lantic pr ipertv, an I ias rep rt:d th*t it is worth |750, VJ 74 more than w en it came i ito possession of the le. rocs. Of this amount a little over $57 i.'jflO is represented by mo-, able property, such as cars, en ines, t ols, etc., and SSBJ,(; k by permanent im provements, such at .oad bed, bridges, depots, etc. It is gene •& 'v u derstood that there is no issue re>p ig the movable pr perty. The only q lesion is, whether the lessees shall Le paid for the permanent im provements. The legislature has all the facts before i*. It is in ju.t a< good a positi m to pass up>n the question as a b ard f arbi ra io i c >uld possibly be. If its authority we e delegated to a board made up as the lessees suggest, the decision of the question would depend upon one man. Is it possible to find in the state an in tel igent man who does not favor one side or the other of the question? If it isn’t thent’e question wculi be virtually set tled whe . the b >ard was appointed. If the legislature we et> azree to arnitrate, the real struggle wou and be over the selec ion of the flf;u member of tue board, and not over the question at l sue. Arbitration is an admirable way to settle questions which are surrounded by d.fa culties, and in which there are doubts re rnectng the law and the facts. In this bsttHrme t matter there is no dispute abo l. the fac s, and it is pretty sife to say there is no doubt about the law. The simple question is, shall the state psy the lessees SBBO,OOO for permanent improvements? Surely the legislature is as capable of saying whether it shall or not, as a board of arbi tration. If the legislature should agree to arbitrate it would by that act admit that tue lejsoss were entitled to compe sation for per na nent impiovetue its, and if such an admis sion were made it .ould follow that the lessees w-ere entitled to the full value of such improveme its. The state wo ild have no grou id for refusing t > pay the full turn of SBBO,OOO. It would uave no reason for as-ing even for a conj romise. The pe iple would not approve arbitra tion. They expect the legislature to settle the bettarmen, ques.ion. They think, and rightly too, that the two houses of the general assembly a o better able to sot.le it than the umpire of a board of arbitra tion. The Panama Canal Heard From. There was a report m Wall street a day or two ago that work on the Pauatna ca al, under the direction of American engineers, would be resumed soon. Anew company is being organized in France, and negotia tions have been goi g on for some time be tween tho promoters of this company and the American Contracting and Dredging Company. The president of the dredging company has gone to Paris to coutinuo negotiations. It is estimated that it will cost $200,u0(),000 to finish the canal. It will be difficult to raise any more money for the ca al. The sum abeafiy wasted upon it is enormous, and engineers have said t. at the work is only begun. It is hoped, howevor, that if the work of com pleting the cmal is placed wholly in the hands of Americans, co .tidence in the en terprise will be revived to such an extent that ca al bonds cen be floated readily, both in this country aud Europe. It is ass rted that there are seventeen mil s of the canal on the Atlantic coast and five miles on the PBcifio coast fi fished. Above twenty-five miles are yet to be cut, but in thoso twenty-five miles is tha most and flic tilt pa tof the work. Th® president of the American Cont acting and Dredg ing Company t .lks ab ,ut finishing the canal in four year*. Tuere has been a groat deal of that sort of talk within the last few years. Mr. Peter Campbell, of New York, proba bly is co.isideiably dejected over the result of the trial of his air ship the other day, adthotigh ho professes to feel cheerful euougu. By that experiment the air ship was shown to U' a failure, and the aeronaut who risked his life ia it is thought to have been drowned in th® sea. Mr. Campbell stoutly asserts, however, that only an ordi na y accideut prevented tho air snip from making a sueees-ful trip, and he does not think that the aeronaut, H >ga t, is dead. Hogan, he says, was an expert balloonist and swimmer, and he took with him a life preserver. According to Carnub 11, lie probably jumped out of the air snip before it touc ed water, aud was picked up by some vessel. By the way, a company has just been formed in Boston tn assist Dr. Baussett to con truct an air hip that will carry 200 passengers a ,and 50 t ms of mail or other matter. Dr. Baussett claims that his plant are a proved by the most eminent scientists aud engineering ex ierta in the country. He succ reded last fall in getting a good many congressmen enlisted in favor of the air ship. Several sensational cases have been brought before the courts at Ne.vburj, N. Y., lately, but none more Sensatio al than that of Mary L. Mowatt against a number of her re atives, to recover property valued at $300,000. It appears that th® young lady was the fav .rite of her brother, James C. Mowatt, with whom she lived, and that when Mr. Mowatt died he left all of his property to her. Before the will was ad mitted to probate, two of the young lady’s relatives, by threa ening to contest the wdl, a id to bring cuargesagas ist her of u nnatur al relations with hnr brothe induced her to agree to divide tne prop rty equally among more than half ad izm of her kinspeople. She lived up to her agreement, but tue other day. while talking to some of her friends, she mentioned the matter, and th -j explained to her tho fraud that had been perpdra ed upon her. The case is creating a big stir. The republicans of Virginia ore trying to “get together.” Some of the leaders claim that they have succeeded, but they had brtter wait until Gen. William Mahone’s conventionnominatesGeu. Wi ham Mah me for governor. Then there will be :cenes in dicative fa great want of harmony, and at t.ie polls the little boss will be snowed under again.

Frederick E Weatherly ays that he has written something bet eeo sfio and IdMO s mgs, of which “Na cy Lee' and the “T ree Old Maids of Lee“ are he most popular. He wrote “N .ncy Lee“at Oxford, withi i an hour, while waiting for an unpunctual pupil.

Tne mil- which the government las begun the Boston courts is expected to show that Bell was not the inventor at all, much re cent evidenc-* to that enact haring been col lected. Presi lent B irtlett, of the Drawbauzh syndicate says the Pennsylvanian s c.aim will be cirried to congress if usees-ary. Henry W. Wilbur furnish-s for publication the following letter from Gen.

Warren Fox in St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Speaking of circumstantial evidence recalls to my mind an incident that came under my observation while I was in charge of the Cnest nut street police station. An English n .bleman who was in this country on a lark visited a house kept bv a well-known sporting woman. aDd spent a few hours in > e resort drinking. After he had walked up t ie street a few bloc its from the house he missed his roll of money, and net being able to find it, c included he had been robbea. He went hies to tne house im i.e diately and accused the women of tne theft. Sue de led it, and on his complaint a polloe officer arrested her. When they came into the station he told ne the story as above. Theo I beard her story, and was impressed with tho be lief that she was innocent. Hetold me that tne amount was s3so —two SSO bills and the balance ill tens—and also described the peculiar way he had rolled it. He was so confident that she had rubbed him that I concluded to hold her. I incidentally re marked, as she was going back to toe cell: "Have you any money about you?” "I have,” she replied, and placed a roll of bills on the ledge I examined it any found $ 150-two SSO bills and the balance in tens—identically the same amount a id the same denominations as he had lost. He swore positiv ly tua- it was his money, and wanted t < take it, nut I refused to give it up. Te woman was locked up and tfu nobleman went away, after the usual i; ruc tion to bo at the Four courts in the m -r,,in ; and swear out a warraut. I could not believ’. but that she was innocent. About two hours after she was locked up the nobleman returned out of br ath, and stated that be hud found’ his money. He had put it in the inside pocket of bis vest, something he never did before and never thought t- ook for it there until he was uniressing to retire, wh.-n it fell to the floor Tne woman was released and h r money re turned, and the nobleman escorted her, arm in arm, to her resort. How Yilce Got Even. From Texas Siftings. In the “Brushy Bend” bottoms of Skunk river, lowa, a few miles from the village of Tali-yrand, there lives a set of uncouth, un slio n and unwashed natives, whose equa s for I.norance, meanness and "general cussedness” it would be hard to find. One m .rning Ike Yike, a “Brushy Bender ” rode a skinny old mule into Tal eyraod ad stopped at the office of the justice of the pe ce "Mornin’, ’Squair,” ho said, “I want to git a lawsuit." “Wnat about?” asked t.he justice. “Wal, you know that sheep-stealin' Zeke Ash don't ye?” “Yes. You and Zeke had a fight?” “WtLSser'n that,” said Yike, “a thunderin’ sieht wusser n that. That Zeke Ash is too mean to sloop goo I.*' "Well, what has Zeke done?" asked the his tlce. “Done* You'd better ask what he hain't done He's up an' left nis own family an' ran off with my wife, that's what ne's done, and I want him yanled up for it.” •Well,’' said tue justice, "this is serious. Do you .now where they have gone?” "Tuey nave oue down tne river nine miles clean to Coppick F .rd, and they-re a livin’ in one of Id C qipickres cabins." Tue justice lea ned all he could about the matter, issued a warrant for the arre: of both the man and woman, sent toe const* le after them and instructed Yike to a .pear the next day as prosocuiing witne s. Yixe then went to the saloon and related his bereavement to a crowd of loafers and told them he had had a warrant issued for Ash’s arrest, “On, pshaw,” said one of the loafers; “I wouldn't an est him; I’d show my spurn, and get even with him in some other wav." Yike hung his head for a minute and then slapped nis k.iee and said: "I'm blasted if I ha m thought of a bilm’ good plan Jist you fellers ' alt till to-morrow an'see wuo * smart est, Zeke Ash or me," and he rode away. Thu next day when Ze e Ash and Yike's wife were arraigned before the justice Yike was not there to prosecute. Tics justice sent the con staole out to see tf any of Yike's neighbors were in town in order that he might learn why Yike did not atipear. The oousta le found and brought in old Jake Grissom, and when he was askod if he had seen Yike he replied: "Yes, sir; 1 seen Tin thi* mornin’ about sun peep.” “ >Vhere wa* he?” the justice asked. “Him and Zeke Ash's wife wuz a-runnlng off together."
