AT THE WAGON YARDS.
the Farmere' Christmas Trip to
Town.
Tfc* wagon yards are some of the meat
interesting places in Savannah at this season
of the year. They are chock-a-block with
carts. Fully 500 farmers are here now, and
the yards are fall of business. The farmers
come from all over the surrounding coun
try, some of them from sixty and seventy
miles distant, Thsy bring in cotton, syrup,
pork, potatoes, chickeus, turkeys, eggs nd
bides, principally. For this produce tbey
receive good prices, and they lay in their
Christmas stores.
At this season of the year the farmers
are an independent class of people, as thsy
ere sought ou*> for their froth produce.
Thsy get their own prices. Fre-h eggs are
a storcity in the market, and the demand
for them bv familiar is great. New syrup
always sells well, and the demand for it
this year is said to be greater tbau ever be
fore. Fresh country chickens and fat tur
keys. raised in pea pitches, are as much of
a rarity as anything else, and the price for
them baa gone up ont < f the reach or a
good many people, and they have to be
content with imported produce, the price
ef which has not advanced eo much.
~The farmers coming in with their cart*
laden with the ‘‘good things” from the
i MS try take a survey of the market before
driving their carts oft to the wagon yards.
They come prepared to stay a week if nec
essary. The rear part of their carts is f _ll
• < corn and fodder for their mules, and
their week’s rations are stored in a big tin
box in the front of the cart. They do not
wait until they have disposed of the con
tents of their carts before making their
Christmas purchases. As fast as they sell,
the money for their produce is put into holi
day goods, and when they have disposed of
all they have to sell their purchases are
made, and they are ready to leave town.
The scene in the yards last night was an
animated one. What fanners there were
coming to the city for the night bad just
bached their wagons into the yards and
were feeding tbeir stook. Tbe rustling of
the fodder," the shucking of tbocorn and the
braying of tbe mules made a noise calcu
lated to be grinding on the ears of town
people, but to the sturdy old farmers it was
a welcome sound.
After the fceding hour the farmers
sought their carta, <®d oub-of the tin boxes
iu them they made their suppers. Some of
them were aoc mpanied by their wive,, and
most of them brought tbeir youngest born
to “town” to see the sights. They choose
the night to make their tours of the city.
After that trip is made they return to the
yards and sit on the cart shafts, agon
tongues, sod water trongus, and talk over
what they have seen. They tell each other
about the trades which they made during
the day, what they got for their produce,
and what they expect to take
>tome. Tbs boys nestle around close to
their parents, and listen to the con
versations with as much earnestness as if
they were “full fledged” themselves. It is
a custom in the oountry for parents to keep
their children in Ignorance of wiio is the
real Santa Claus, and it is said that tbe
children never know who (ills their long
stockings with presents and Christmas
goodies until they have passed their first
rwelve years of innocence. They sea old
“Santa’s” track* in the fireplace and around
the hearth,and they go about hunting in the
yard for tbe carriage track* where that
good old man came and went.
In the wagon yard* at night, when the
farmer* begin to talk about thegi.tsfor
tbe stockings, tbey send the urchins out to
look after the stock or let them have a few
minutes to romp on the streets. The boys
are glad enough to get out. They make
triends with the town boys by swapping
pocket-knives or trading jews harps.
REMEMBER THH ORPHANS.
Make Them Happy in Thin Happy
Christmas Time.
Forget not the orphans in this happy
Christmas time. You cau make yourselves
happy by remembering them when you are
buying presents for your little ones. They
have no kind fathers and mothers to make
them glad at this season of the year. They
depend upon you, and tbey have a right to
do so. They are in your charge, aud all
yon do to bring joy to their hearts will add
to the sum of your own happiness. There
sre many girls in the Savannah Female
Orphan Asylum, at the corner of Bull and
Charlton streets, who are wondering
whether in all the wide world there are any
kind-hearted people who will send them
some little tokens of remembrance during
this Christmas season. Let them not be
disappointed. Let them realize that tbe
world is not wholly thoughtless and sel
fish—that the blessings of Providence are
not confined to the fortunate in life, but
reach even tbe poor and friendless. A few
dollars judiciously expended will make the
world seem brighter to them, a id will
inspire them with thoughts that will tend
to make them noble and useful women.
A WITNBBB AGAINST HIMSELF.
Thomas Perry Gets Four Years for
Burglary.
Thomas Perry (colored) owes his con
viction in the superior court last night to
his own statement He was convicted of
burglary, with a recommendation to the
mercy of the court, and received a four
years’ sentence.
On Nov. 15 tbe jewelry store of E. J.
Crane (colored) was broken into and eight
watches were stolen. Four of them were
pawned at Mublberg’s. Perry brought a
pawn ticket for the redemption of one of
the stolen watches, and was told to come in
the afternoon. Meantime Crane was noti
ced, ard when Perry returned Crane took
him into custody.
Pawnbroker Mublberg could not swear
that Perry bad pawned the watches, but
Perry in his statement admitted that he had
pawned tbe watch, which his broiler gave
him: but as he did not have his brother’s
testimony to corroborate it, the jury hold
that he was guilty,

TYBEE CATCHES THEM.
Dp-Country People Take it. the Sea
shore’s Bigots.
The trains to Tv bee tbe last two or three
days have bean filled with up-country peo
ple. who, while in town laying in tbeir
Christmas “supplies,” have been taking ad
vantage of the opportunity to Tint Tybee,
and some of them who bad never before
*®® a The ocean, or been on an island, have
shown an ignoranoe that was amu ing.
On Wednesday Conductor Harris nad a
train load of passengers, and among them
there was an iuquisiive countryman wh i
couldn’t harmonize the answers of the polite
conductor with his studies in geographv.
‘You don’t go on the island, do you!” the
P*t*se igel's asked, and Conductor Harris
replied in the affirmative, and explained
that the train would go around the island
to the south end.
“That is impossible,'" said the passenger.
Besides an island is surrounded by water,
and bow can you go around au island' You
mustn’t try to fool me, for I am not as igno
rant as you think I am.”
Another passenger, soring a g"Oup of
meu engaged in opening and eating nw
oysters, naively asked, "What do t ey find
in t ,em rocks fltten to eat*"’
Some of the stories told evidently lack
foundation in fact, n id the storv told on
one yi*,tor this week, thae he had" been im
posed upon and ms ie to bvltsve that a black
and white goat killed on the island was
“one of the spotted deer on Tybee,” may be
untrue, but it i said he went home under
the impression that Tybee is not only a
great summer resort aud a paradise for
fish, but beautiful black and white spotted
deer are plentiful, and invite sportsmen to
the chase.

Col. William Donovan said last night that
the scarcity of lurnuer cars on the Central
railroad continues to embarrass the lumber
meu along the lino of tbe road. Col. Dono
van has been in the saw-mill business since
1855, aud he has never ssen the facilities
poorer, he said, for handling the lumber.
The railroad company does not furnish the
cars and tho lumber interest is crippled. The
railroads. Col. Donovan said, handled the
business some time ago all right, aud tho
saw-mill industry along the line of tue
Central, ho said, has not increased auv
during tbe past year or two. Tho railroad
claims that its facilities have been increased
in order to handle the traffic, but the saw
mill men say that they do not experience
any greater dispatch in business.

of the West Broad street car line a groat
deal of amusement yesterday. Ho eamo

o’clock last night he had si*> >t ‘JO cents in
street car trips aud a nickel for cigarettes
for the conductors, and when he was trans

“Evangeline’s" Success.
“Beautiful Evangeline" played last night
before a crowded house. The theater was
packed from the stage to tho back row of
tbe top gallery. The extravaganza is as
popular os it ever was, and it never had a
finer setting than it now has. Of the orig
inal cist George K. Fortesque as Catherine,
and Junes B. Maffltas the lone fisherman
have been retained. Without them “Evan
geline” would not seem “Evangeline.”
Mr. liatlit played the part long before
he dreamed of having grandchildren, aid
Mr. Fortesque has enacted the role of the
coy and kittenish spinster over 5,00 J times.
For the present tour a brilliant young
southern s nger, Mae Branson is playing
Gabriel, and the bright young W ashiugton
beauty, Yolaude Wallace, appears as
“Evangeline.” This is the first year of
either of these ladles in the burlesque, and
their beauty, grace and talent create anew
interest. The play lat night was a big
success.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1889.
LIKE BOBINSON CBUSOB.
Charlea Irons Was Left oa a Bouth Sea
Island
fVont the Kins York World.
Portland, Me., Dec. 18.— A tale of ship
wreck ia the Southern seas of savage
islanders, and the romance of a modern
Robinson Crusoe, is what Capt William
Goxling tells. He was the commander of
the Portland bark Tewksbury Sweet, lost
in the South Pacific last spring, and has
just arrived in tine city on his way to his
home at Yarmouth. He aud bis crew had
been given up for dead, and the first
intelligence that they were still alive
was received about two weeks ago.
Their escape from death by the wreck
and from the savages makes an interest! g
story. The stanch American bark sailed
from New Castle, New South Wales, on
March 17 last for Hong Kong. On April 'J.sue
encountered a gale and was driven ashore
on Susanne Reef, near Pozeat Island, one
of the Carolines. Avery high wind was
blowing at the time, and the surf was run
ning high. The vessel commenced to go to
pieces 9oon after she struck. Nothing was
saved from the vessel but one chronometer.
The crew escaped iu one of the ship’s boats,
and managed with gK*ar, difficulty to reach
a small islet to tbs northward. From this
islet, af er the worm had subrided, they
mace tbe island of Posset, which is in
habited by tierce savag •*.
As the boat approached the Bland a fleet
of canoes put off from the shore. There
were a out thirty canoes, with eight or ten
men in each, and all wero a med with
knives and spears. Some of the savages in
their eagerness jn nped overboard and swam
io the b at, each witn a lo ig, wicked-look
ing knife held between his teeth. The first
savages to reach the boat clambered in until
the boat wn* nearly swamped. Tnen they
be /an to strip tbe sailors of their coats
and outer (ferments, throwing the
garments aboard their own canoe . The
meu were soon despoiled of everything but
their undershirts. Tnen the whole fleet
drew In toward the laud. The savages all
this time bad kept up a tremendous din of
shouting and singing, and the crowd of
women and children on the shore were
dancing and jumping ab >ut with shouts and
cries. The sailor* expected no better treat
ment than to be killed aud eaten, but, as
they learned afterward, the natives of this
island are not cannibals
While the shipwrecked crew were stand
ing surrounded by toe noisy crowd a man
di eased as all the others, with only a cloth
about the hipc, came forward and spoko to
them in English. He gave his nuine as
C arles Irons, an Englishman by birth, and
offe. ed to tender any assistance possible. It
seems that he was left at Pozeat by a trad
ing vessel about four years ago, his busiuess
being to represent traders in Cos oanut
Isla .and; but the Vossel never called for Irons
since leaving him, mid he had gradually
assumed tue habits of the natives. lie finally
became like them in appearance and man
ner. He had ta e to himself seven wives,
a id was regarde 1 by the natives as a man
of importance, second only to the caret of
toe tribe. Irons had even forgotten munv
of the common details of civilization, but be
was of good service to the castaways, no
doubt saving the lives of ail.
A day or two after la ding at Pozsat,
Capt. Gooding, who had become uncertain
about his reckoning of time, and not know
ing exactl f whether the day was Thursday
or Friday, asked Irons if he knew wuat
day of the week it was. Irons answered
that he did not, and more thin that he did
not know what year it was. He interested
himself in behalf of tho shipwrecked men,
and bir.u a canoe from the natives. Capt.
Gooding, Second Mate George W. Harrison,
and one of the ship’s crew set Bail ten days
after their arrival, leaving tne rest of
the men and First Mate Richard
Watchmon—seven men in all —at
Pozeat. The captain and his men made
tueir way from island to island, touch
ing at eight different points, aud mak
ing stops at each varying from two days to
a month. They finally arrived at Kuk,
where there is a missionary station. Here
they wero cared for by the missionaries and
ootained the use of the boat belonging to
the station. Tne missionaries did nit like
to let them have tbe boat because, if de
prived of it, they would be exposed to and ,n
--ger of attack from natives aud deprived of
their only mean, of leaving the island, but
finally gave consent. The missio anas
also told them that had thev come ashore
at Pozeat with any valuables the native!
would certaiulv have killed them as they
had others.
In tho missionary boat, a stanch center
boarder, the captain made sail back to
Pozeat. He then returned with his crew
to the missionary island. Two mouths
later the missionary vessel Morning Star
arrived and took them all to Honolulu,
where they arrived Nov. 18. From Hono
lulu Capt. Gooding and part of the crew
were brought bv the steamer Australia to
San Francisco, arriving there Nov. 29.
The first act of Capt. Gooding on reach
ing San Francisoo wai to telegraph tbe ve,-
sel’s owners, Messrs. Ctiase, Leavitt & Cos.,
of this city. This message was received as
veritable tidings from tbe dead, all hope of
ever hearing from either ship or men hav
ing long been relinq lisbed. Capt. Gooding
states that he left two of his rneu in the
hospital at Honolulu. Two more a e
coming on a sailing vessel from Honolulu.
One man, the steward, has shipped as a
hand on the Morning Star, and the two
mates and two seamen accompanied the
captain to San Francisco. He estimates
that his voyage in canoe and boa: around
by way of tbe island to Kuk and tbe ice re
turn to Pozeat and back to Kuk was about
1,000 miles. During these voyages and the
stay oa the Blinds, cover ug a period of
about six months, tbe men subsisted on
cocoanut bread ana natural products, which
form the usual food of the natives.
in conclusion, Capt. Gooding said: “It
was tbe most thrilling experience I aver
had iu all my seafaring life—captured as
we wore by such beings and saved In such a
sensational manner. After it was deoided
by tbe natives not to kill us tbe tailors were
given the widest possible liberties. You
can imagine our gratitude to Ir ns, and we
lost no opportunity to express it.”
TWO MEN WITH SIMILAR LIVES.
A Story of Revolutionary Days In
Washington County.
Miss Eliza Bowen, writing in the Wash
ington Chronicle on the early history of
Wilkes county, says: “I am making a
somewhat rambling paper, but I have just
room to tell the curlmn fact that in Colum
bia county, and in Wilkes, each, there was
a revolutionary soldier who had also been
at Braddock’s defeat in the old French war
io 1775, and both lived to be 102 years old,
and also each married, in extreme o.d age,
a much younger woman. The story of inn
two men is so similar that a reader mig it
fancy there was but one, who had been
multiplied into two by imagination and
imperfect memory. But t U is not so;
tnere v ere really two men. Of one of them,
in Wilkes county, Mr. John Wright, I per
sonally know some hing, as his first wife
was my grandmother’s sister, Barah Goode
by name, and I ha e heard my cousin, Mrs.
B' ephens, bis granddaughter, say be novor
was married until he was 60 years old.
That was rather an old bachelor for Aunt
Barab Goode to tackle and civilize. But
be lived to marry again at *on
extreme old age, and by his last
wife became the father of Mr. James
Wright, who lived near Mallorysville. His
Columbia double was named David Hodge.
Tbe marriage of this one wav announced av
follows in the Augusta Chronicle: ‘The
spirit of TO. A other hero of the revo
lution has fallen—before the shrine of
Hymen—but even in his fill he triumphed.
Thus runs tbe p oud memorial of hi* glory;
On the 25th ulc., was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony by John McGnee, E-q.,
Mr. David Hodge, aged 103 years and 2
months, to Mhs Elisabeth Baity, aged 40
years, both of Columbia county, Georgia.
Mr. Hodge was at Brad lock’s defeat, and
served through the whole period of the
revolutionary war.’ How long after this
David lived with his Elizabeth does act
appear. John Wright died at 102 years,
but I have heard hts daughters, whom the
young wife very soon caused to leave, say
that he would 1 ave lived longer, but for
the lack of attention from tbe young
woman. Mrs. Esther Gretha n and Miss
Polly Wright were bis daughters, two ex
cellent and sensible women. Tho two
brothers, H. T. and E. P. Slaton of this
county, are his grandsons. He has a son
living in extreme old age at Woodstock,
‘uncle Jack Wright'”
CAPITAL INDEPENDENT.
Tho Point That Mr. Cunningham Mads
at the Citizens' Meeting.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 19.— Editor Morn
ing Sews: In your report of the proceed
ings at the meeting of citizens to talk over
the taxation last evening ' regret to see I
am reports 1 as saying ‘‘Mr. Cunningham
gave council to understand, if an ordinance
increa ing taxation wai passed, the Ocean
Steamship Company would move its head
quarters where its property cm be 1 <ted
at a lower rate of taxation.” That
is a mistake. In the an-wer to the
question of Alderman Falligint, why one
man's dollar should not be taxed as high as
another man's dollar, my reply was “That
capital was independent, ami that even
vested oi pi til, under certain circumstances,
could relieve itself fro n the burden of
taxation.” In an illustration of that, I
cited the case of the Ocean Steamship Coiq
pauy, which qow pays about $.‘>,0,10
annually ou its' Investment in steam
ships; the New England and Savnu
nan Steamship Company, which has about
the same amount mveste i in steamships,
pays to the city of Savannah nothing;
tnac it would be easy for the “Ocean
S eamship Company” to relieve itself of
that taxation, by soiling its ships to a com
pany cuai tered in another state, which
woul 1 run to tnis port, and not be liable
to taxation here. I did not say, or
inland to be und rstood as saving, that the
“Ocean Steamship Company” intended to
move its ships, or to sell them; if a higher
rate was assessed “that tbe company would
move its headquarters.” The question has
never been before its b >ard of dlrsctoi-R,
and it would be very improper for me to
say what their action would be on a ques
tion that hail never come before them.
