The EI’.I Appropriating $2,500 for Furnishing the Booms of the De partment of Agriculture in the State Capitol also Defeated Two Speeches on the Olive Bill. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. B.—The university appropriati >n bill was defeated in the House to-day. receiving less votes than last week, when it was ravorabiy reported by the •emmittee of t::e whole. The bill appro priate 1 *15,000, reduced from *35,000 in the original bill, and the friends of the univer sity fought hard for it. The result created some feeling on the part c.f the friends of the appropriation, who felt that the state ought to give something to the institution. Another bill defeated in the House wa< that appropr.atiug *2,530 to furnisui- g the agricultural dep rtmeuts. It was clai.ned that this bureau had not bee if ir. su'd i:i keeping wittt the bui.ding and as the othor departments, arid in additio < considerable old furniture is being used. It will have to do. however, for the present. THE OLIVE BILL. The Olive bill and its substitutes wore taken ud to-day as a special i rder, but o ily two speeches wi re ma is. Air. Glenn spoke for. and Mr. Olive against, the measure. It is possible that a vote may bo reacho l to-morrow, but so many want to speak that it may be no several days. It is not ex pected that the measure, in any shape, will be able to command a cousti utioaal majority. The widows of confederate soldiers are to be recog u led in the aid now being extended by tbe stare to disabled veterans. The bill introduced by Mr. Johnson of Jones to so amend the constitutiou passed the House to-day unanimously, and will doubtless pass the Senate. railroad extk.vsiov. The most important bill passed by the Senate to-day was that autboriz ng the Marietta and North Georgia railroad to extend its lines to Atian a In the House a bill to confer this privilege whs sora; t.mo ago tabled to save defeat. Another bill, however, was pa-sed to amend tbe charter of the road, so as to authorize its extrusion to Knoxviile, Tenn. This is the bili tbe Senate had to-day, and it was amended so as to permit the extension to Atlanta, provided it did not seek to get on the state road’s right of way, or cross that track. Mr. dußignon took tbe floor and made a strong speech in favor of this amendment. The bill passed with this amendment by a vote of 30 to 6l The Ho ise has now only to ooncur in this amendment, which will not require a constitutional majority. The Senate passed the bill to amend Senator Johnson’s cigarette law, so as to insert tbe word “tub icco” after the word “cigarette.” The tSenate also pasted the bill to authorize county authorities to hire convicts to other counties.

A Law-Mill and Its Contents Entirely Destroyed. Rogers, Ga., Oet. B.—The saw-mill end Bbingle-mill of Wadley & Malsby, at Sum mit, on the Rogers and Summit railroad, ■was burned between 1 and 2 o’clock yester day morning. About 10,000 feet of lumber and 75,000 shingles were burned with the mill. A high wind blowing at the time rendered it impossible to save anything. The tr ek of the Rogers and Summit rail road, which ra i by the mill, was destroyed for about 200 feet. A large fores of hands were put to wo k this morning, and the track was restored, aad trains a e now ruu ning through io Stihmo e.

John Fisko Lightly Sketches the Famous German’s Career. From the October Atlantic Monthly. Of ail the foreign oificei g who served un der Washington during the war for inde pendence, the Baron von Steuben was in many respects the most important. Mem ber of a noble family which for five centu ries had been distinguished in the local annals of Magdeburg, Steuben was one of the tst ed icated aud most experienced s Idiers of Genua.iy. His grandfather, an able theologian, was well known as the author cf a critical treatise on the New Teolament. His uncle, an eminent mathe matician, had been the i ive itor of anew system of fortification. His fath -r had seen nalfa century of honora le service in the corps of engineers. He hal himself held the rank of first lieutenant at the begin ning of the seven years’ war, and after excellent service in the battles of Prague, Rngsbaoh and Kunersdorf no was raised to a po-it.on ou the staff of Frederick the Great. At the end of the wa l -, when the thrifty k.ng reduced nisarmy, and Biu her, with other officers afterwards famous, left the service, .Steuben retire 1 to private life with the honorary rank of general of the Cins’e if Swabia. For more than ten years he was grand marshal to the Pri ice of Hoheiitfbllern-Hechingen. Then he went traveling about E irope, until in the spri g of 1777 he arrived in Paris, and became iicquai ted w ith Fra .klin and Beau marchais. The American alliance was already se cretly conte uplated bv the French minis try, and the astute Verge me<, knowing that the chief defect of our armies lay in their want of organization and discipline, saw in the scien'itto German soldier a most efficient instrument for remedying the evil. After much hesitation Steuben was per suaded to undertake the task. That his ar rival Upon t ie scene might excite no heart burning among the American officers, the honorary rank which he had held in Ger many was translated by Vergoimfes into the rank of lieutenant general, which the Americans would at once recognize as moro eminent than any position existing in their own army, except that of the commander in-chiof. Kuo wing no English, Steuben took with him as secretary and int rpreter the youth ful Pierre Dup inceau, afterward famous ms a lawyer, aud still moro famous a* a philol ogist. One day ou shipboard this gay young Frenchman laid a wager that he would kiss the first yaukee girl he should meet on landing. 8u as thev came ashore at Portsmouth on a frosty December day, he gravely stepped up to a pretty New Hampshire maiden who was passing by, and told her that before leaving his native laud to fight for American freedom he had taken a vow to ask, in earnest of victory, a kiss from tho first lady lie should meet. Tne prayer of chivalry found favor in the eves of the fair Puritan, and the token of suc cess was granted. Tbrou h iut tho war Steuben proved no less faithful than capable. lie came to feel a genuine love for his adopted country, and after the war was over, retiring to the loman.ic wood and near OrLkauy, where so many families of German lineage we e already settled, and where the s ate of New York presmted him with a farm of 16,000 acre< in acknowledgment of his services, he lived the quiet life of a country gentleman until his death in 1794. A little viiluge some twelve miles north of tho site of old Fort Stauwix still bears his name and marks the position of his estate. After his interview with congress Steuben repaved at once to Valley Forge, where Washington was not slow in recognizing Ins ability; n<>r was S.eube >, on tho osuer hand, at a loss to perceive, in the ragged ad motley army which he passed in re view, the existence of soldierly qualities which needed nothing as much as training. Disregarding tho E iglish prejudice wuicn looked upon the drilling of soldiers as work fit only for sergeants, he took musket in hand and showed what was to be done. Alert and untiling, he worked from morning till night in showing tho tnen how to advance, retreat, or change front without falling into disorder—how to perform, in short, all t e rapid nnd accu rate movefile its for which the Prussian army had become so famous. It was a revelation to the American troops. Gen erals, colonels and ca, tains were fired i.y the contagion of his example und bis tre mendous enthusiasm, aud for several mouths the camp was converted into a huge train ing sch sol, in which masters aud Dupils worked with incessant and furious enerjy, Steuben was struck with the quickness with which the common soldiers learned their lessons. He had a harmless choleric temper, which was jiart of his overflowing vigor, and sometimes when drilling an awkward squad, he would exhaust Ins stock of French a .and German oaths, un i shout Cor his aide to come and curse the blockheads iu Engl sh. ‘’Viena, moil ami Walker,” lie would sav, “vie :s, mon ho t ami. Sacre-blue-Gott verduin de g lucherie of dose badauts. Je i;e puis plus; I can curse dein no more!” Yet in an incredibly short time, ns he afterward wrote, these awkward fellows had acquired a mili tary air, had learned how to carry their anils, and knew how to form into column, de loy and execute maneuvers witn pre cision. In May, 1778, after three nnirhi of such work, fcjieubtu was app.huted inspector general of the army, with the rank and pay of inaj >r ge .eral. The refn ins wiiica l.’e introiuced were so far-reichmg that after a year t <:y were said to have saved more tii , u SlK),ihk) Frauofi iivras to the United btstes. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1889. GETTING DOWN TO WORK THE COUNTRY’S GUESTS NOT ON A MERE PLEASURE TRIP. Yesterday Morn.ngr Spent Among the Cotton Mllla of Manchester and tbe Afternoon at Portland—The Infor mation Obtained Put on Paper as the Train Sped Along. Portland, Mb., O-l B.—The interna tional excursion party spent last night ou tlieir cars, ar and woke up this morning at Manchester, N. H. They spent the fore noo 1 among the great colon mills, and alter in cheon started for Portland. From , the display of Manchester's combin and prod uct of manufactures each foreign dele gate took away samples and price lists. NVhon the special train hal started on its four-aour journey to this city there was a busy scene in each car. SYSTEMATIC METHODS. The foreigners had tables set, each in his section, and, for tbe first time s nco the be ginning of the trip, the North Americans witnessed tie sy.ternatic methods of the Central and South Americans. The sam ples of goods aud cloths toat had b en se cured w- r - spread out. Snore aries were then employed in writing quickly on mem oranda comments dictated by their chiefs, and os tho work went forward, tbe impres sions or remarks of the delega es concern ing each of the various products, when com mitted to paper, were fastened to their respective samples, and packed away for reference aud for future use. ALL BUSINESS NOW. The bustle and frolic ■ which are scarcely separable from tbe outset of so large aud > genial a party upon a journey of leug’h, Las now nearly worn itself out. The or> editi 11 has lost the air of a junketing t-mr, and is uss lining the c 'mplerion of a bun.,e.s journey, and the details begin to appear. Portland was reached at 4 o’clock. After a drive around the city aud a reception the party were entertained at a dinner, to which 2A) guests sat down, and at 11 o’clock the traveler.! started for Worcester, Mass, COLD ENOUGH FOR FROST. Mercury Down to 42* Yesterday Morning. Yesterday was the second day of the cold snap. It was cnld enough for frost, but none was reported in the S ivannah district. The temperature in Savannah yesterday morning was 41®, which is 2“ or 3® below the temperature at woich frost will form. No frost fell, the signal observer says, be cause the winds were too high. If the night had been calm, frost would have occurred at a higher temperature. The cold wave is still advancing south easterly, but it will be no colder to-day than it was yesterday. There is a pro. la bility of a frost this morning. Atlanta had a frost yesterday and the day before. The temperature there was reported at 36*. At Millan it was 32® yesterday. Thomas vihe reported 38” a id the follo wing static is 4-°: Savannah, Alapaha, Bai Live Oak and Quitman. The maximum temperature was at Eistman, being 84’. In Atlanta, Montgomery and Wilming ton too average minimum temperature was 34"; in Augusta, Memphis and Mobile tne average minimum temperature was reported at 3G°. The temperature at Savannah yesterday was precisely tiie same as that at Portland, Me., and only 4“ below that of Now York. Out in the northwest, where the cold wavo originated, the mercury has gone up, and the weather has moderated. The lowest thermometer reported in Montana yester day wai 50®. Killing fronts are occurring in Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. As low down as Vicksburg, Miss., killi ig frost is reported. No raiu was reported yesterday. The cold wave is now between the north coast aud the south. It has passed away from -tie northwest and has*not reached the southeast. It will probatdy reach Florida to-day, and a much lower temperature will be reported. Toe cold wave’j influence will not be felt here longer than to-morrow. After this time the weather will begin to moderate aud grow warmer. If a frost is reported this morning it will be the earliest frost reported in this district ♦ll the last twenty years. The following table shows the earliest frosts which have fallen in Savannah each year since the es tabiishme it of the signal service: 1872 Nov. 161881 Nov. 26 1873 Nov. 14 1832 Nov. 15 1874 Oct, 15 1883..

Jones of the Central railroad said last nigut that the Central’s western traffic is heavier than it ha* over beeu. Thera were half a dozen traveling pas senger agents, representing different rail roads, iu Savannah yesterday. They bring tales of big traffic and prognosticate the heaviest season that railroads ever saw. It required over 400 ears to transport the Central railroad’s cotton freight, Monday, from the interior to Savannah. General Freight Agent Whitehead said that this is a better showing than any single track road in the United States is able to make. E. 1. Cole, formerly connected with the Western and Atlantic railroad at Atlanta, ha: been appointed toil car agent of the Louisville aid Nashville railr ad, wnh headquarters at Savannah. Mr. Cde ar rived in Savannah yesterday aud estab lished his headquarters here. The Central railroad has ised anew time schedule for its Sava urnh and Memphis route. Leaving Savannah at 8:10 p. m. and 6:40 n. m., trains arrive at O lumbus at 7:25 a. in. and 6:15 p. m., Birmingham at 3 p. m. and 2:30 a. m., anil Memphis 6:15 the next morning, and 5 p. m. The 8:2.) p. in. train has-through sleepers to Birmingham. Local freight train No. 128 on the Central railroad ran off the switch at Bartow Mon day afternoon, and three empty box cars were derail 'd. The trucks under one of the cars were damaged, but the others were unscratched. The accident occurred at 5 o’clock, and the wreck was cleared iu a few hours. Tne train was moving slowly when the accident occurred, hence the slight damage. MITCHELL GOT OFF EASY. He Will Sell No M are Alcohol and Burned tugar. The further hearing was resumed yester day before Commissioner Gillespie in the case of the United States against M. M. Mitchell, the colored porter of Waycross, for selling liquor wiiuout having paid the special revenue tax, and Mitchell was dis charged. Mr. Goodrich, tho druggist iu whoso employ Mitchell was at the time of his arrest, came down yesterday, aud after hearing his statement, aud reviewing the testimony of Monday, the commissioner discharged the prisoner, who will, no doubt, let too boys go dry for a long time tefore’ he sells the n alcolul and burned sugar for “Old Bourbon” again. Death of Lizar Solomons. Lizar Solomons, of this city, died yester day in Atlanta, after an illness of several months. Tho deceased wis a native of Georgetown, 8. C., and came to Savannah when a young man. He was 75 veais of age. He leaves a widow, but no children, and his brothers, Messrs. A. A. S domons, M. J. Solomons aud J. M. Solomons, and a large family connection to mourn his death. He will be buried this morning iu Laurel Grove cwuientry. THE SAVANNAH AND WESTERN. Rich Timber, turpentine and Farm Lands to be Developed by It. Capt. A. A. Winn, who has ju3t returned from a visit to Oax Hill, in an interview with a Morning News reporter yesterday, aaid that the E len extension, or, as it is now known, the Savannah and Western rail road, is making fine progress, being now beyond Black creeE, a small but sluggish stream at the railroad crossing. There is a large swamp on each side, requiring about 20 1 teet of trestle-work with toe bridge. Now tbat Black creek ha* i>eencro*sed, the force will encounter but few obstacles, as the country is high with piue forests and burn in ck 1a .ds, which continue far beyond Oak Hill, the lands of Capt. John Morrison, a dis ance of about seven miles from the junction. The Morrison laud', through wmch tbe road wili run, aro t igh and dry, with an abundance of heavy pine, black jack, oaks, ad same hickory, inter spersed with fine fields of corn aad cotton. Work is progressing on tbe switch at Oak Hill, near the residence of Capt. M rrison, and the engineer in charge, Capt. Dabney, expected to leave reached the neighborhood of M rrison’s place on Saturday last, but rai 1 and unforeseen difficulties prevented. Capt. VVinn said that it is tbe intention of Engineer Dabney to establish tbe fi st regu lar dep jt on the place of Capt. Morriso , and it is sail that no better selection c uild have been made, as Capt. Morrison’s place ii jasrhaps the l>9st location for depot facilities to be found in all that sectiou of cou itry. Oak Hill now resembles a good sized village. Iu tddit.o i to his handsome residence, Capt. Morrison has a large turpentine distillery, a large store house, stables, barns, outhouses, and quite a number of small tenements, where his seventy-five to one hundred hands are quartered. Capt. Mor rison and the people of that section are rejoiced at the bei ig made, and tho early prispecti of having railroad con nection With toe outside world. It ii predicted by the people whom Capt. Winn met on the trip that when the road is completed, that sectiou, aud eipocially the fine highlands mentioned, will, at no distant day, be dottel with stati ,ns and prosperous villages. The site for the sta tion to be establisaed at Oak Hill is one of the finest locations in the county. There is good, pure water in abundance, the lo cality is free from malaria, and the high lands and dry atm sphere make it a desira ble place for a thriving village. Tne county in this immediate section, Capt. Winn said, is well developed, but the location of the Savannah and VYostorn will expand the farming interests, as well as the immense naval store business, to places hitherto remote from railroad facilities. Capt. Morrison has in the past shipped much of the products of his plantation and extensive turpentine farms by the Ogee caee river, but he proposes, in the future, to ship entirely fly the now ro id, and wili urge others to do likewise. Ho estimates a very large L.crease in naval stores shipments. Lumber men, who have hitherto refused to locate in tnis section aud wo.k the immense material ou account of the want of proper facilities for moving it to market, will now be induced to come iu and establish mills which will bring into tho Savannah market th usands of acres of fine forest lands and push the turpentine m.erest to places and sections of country not uow utilized or readily access! le. The virgin timber wh ch can be offered mill men is very fine, audiu abundance along the line of the now road. It is said that several capitalists have signi fied their intuition to establish mills as soon as better facilities are offered for shipment to this market. For tne same reason—a lack of rapid transportation facilities—the fruit and vege table interests of Bryan county have suf fered in the past for a market. Brvan is said to be one of the finest sections "in the state for melons, and many have rotted in tho fields for lack ot transportation. The building of the Savannah and Western will add 1 trgely to the increased acreage of truck farms and melons, which can be grown iu a undance, adding largely to the pros perity of those who e igago i t the business. Tho people along tho line of the new road way say t at the increase in the production of naval stores, lumber and farms will tie very large, aud they predict that with this largo increase of the naval stores, lumber aud agricultural products the building boom wilt also strike the country and add largely to its wealth, and givo Savanuah the build ing of an immense amount of the country’s 1 esources now undeveloped and awaiting the wtu-tlo of the locomotive to lead to their rapid development. Since the Central has assured tho people of that section that the Savannah ami Western railroad will be built, lands along its projected line have increased in value fully 100 per cent. The demand for forest lands is good, but before the road was started the lands were a drag, in fact oouli have beeu purchased at moit any priev While the rains have retarded the work on the read, the people feel confident that at an early day they can visit Savannah by rail. Tho Hankins force, which is working toward Savannah, Capt. Winu was in formed by geutlemen fro n Sterling, where it is to meat; the SavanuaH and Western, is making good progress. When the road reaches Oak Hill it is proposed by some to have a big blow-out in honor of the event, and Capt, Morrison is expected to do the honors cf tae dav, and as iiis hospitality is proverbial the occasion will be a magnifi cent affair. Capt. Winn reports crops in Bryan good. In fact, the yield is greater thau for many years past. THE JUTE BAGGING QUESTION. A Reasonable Way to Get Even With the “Trust” and to Prevent an Out side Monopoly from Manufacturing- Cotton Bagging Hereafter. F.ditor Morning Keics: It having been practically settled, by the action of the various cotton exchange! in this country, that, for the present season at least, cotton is to continue to be sold by gross weight, regardless of whether it be covered wi .h jute or cotton cloth, and as planters lose, on an average, about 75 cents per bale on each bale packed in cotton cloth from what they would realize for situs quantity of c tto.i if packed iu jute, would it not tie wise and iu order for the “alliance” to allow its members to resume the use of the “jute” on condition that eaoh one deposits with the treasurer of hi* branch of the organization the sum of 75 cents per bale, the amount he would save by the use of “jute” instead of “cotton”? The total amount of such deposits to be made available as a fund to build a suitable number of mills for the manufacture of bagging best suited for the. covering of citton hereafter, aud the depositors to be entitled to their respective shares in all profits realized from tiiese 11, ills. Assuming that the alliance can control 2,000,000 bales, or less than one-third of the present cron, this plan would yield a capital of *1,500,000 by the end of the active sea son, to start tlie enterprise.
