RAILROAD REORGANIZATION.
Basle of the Plan for Putting the She
nandoah Valley on Its Feel.
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 7.—A morn
ing paper publishes the following: “A plan
for the reorganization of the Shenandoah
Valley railroad, which has been in the hands
of a receiver for more than five years, baa
at last made its appearance. The l oad is to
be sold at foreclosure sale on Sept. 30. and
e mmitt e-t of the first mortgage and gen
eral m rtgage bondholders h tve agreed
upon Louis Fitzgerald, Ge rge C. W< x*l and
Frank P. Clark, as a committee to buy the
property.
WHAT THE PLAN CONTEMPLATES.
The reorganization plan contemplates an
issue of *10,000,000 fifty year 5 per cent,
mortgage bo ids. Four million five hundred
thousand dollars of preferred and common
stock is t > be transferred to the Norfolk
and Western railroad in consideration of
certain guaran’ees. The holders of the
present Shenandoah Valiev first mortgage
7 per cent, bonds will receive par and full
interest in new mortgage bonds, being at
the rate of *1.420 per bond: holders of
Shenandoah Valley general mortgage bonds
pay an assessment of *64 per *1,1)00 bond
and receive *l,lOO in Norfolk and Western
preferred.
LEFT OCT IN THE COLD.
No provision seems to have been made
for holders of Shenandoah Valley income
bonds and stock. The new bonds are to be
guaranteed by the Norfolk and Western
railroad. Of the *10,000,009 authorized
*223,400 will be issued in taking up the
present first mortgage bonds. Four mil
lion two hundred and seventy-sii thousand
will be used in paving off the receiver's cer
tificates for the trust obligation, for the
cost of reorganization, for double tracking
and improvements and equipment; and the
remaining *25,000 will be spent in securing
a terminus in Washington, D. C., and the
construction of a road from Front Royal
to that place. The plan will undoubtedly
go through, as all opposition to the com
mittee has been allayed.”
THE WORLD’S FAIR SITE.
The Difficulty of Selecting One Seems
to Grow Greater.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 7.—The people of
Chicago are greatly annoyod because of the
difficulty experienced in getting a suitable
site for the worlds fair. Those having the
matter in charge have so far developed but
one talent; . e., an ability to botch matters
to au eminent degree. So wretchedly have
they conducted ODerations to date that
many who a few months since were enthu
siastic workers are heartily disgusted, and
express a determination to vote against the
proposition to iasue bonds in aid of the fair.
The great trouble from the beginning was
that a lot of speculators sought to line their
Sicks regardless of the public interest.
any of them succeeded in getting into the
directory, and have so far hoodwinked those
members whose intentions were better than
their understanding. So miserably has the
matter been conducted and so thoroughly
have a majority of the small subscribers
become convinced that the fair will be a
huge failure, that they will decline to pay
further subscriptions, and in case, as is now
predicted, the city issue of bonds is defeated
when it comes to vote, the fair will fail for
want of funds, as there are no other means
of obtaining financial aid sufficient to carry
ft through. This is well understood, anil
those who are convinced that the fair will
be conducted in a way that will entail last
ing disgrace on Chicago will use every effort
at their command to secure the defeat of
the bond question at the polls.
Washington park will not be tendered to
the world’s fair directors. Such is the
unanimous decision of the South park com
missioners.

INTENSIVE TRUCK FARMING.
Heavy Plantings of Cabbage and Pota
toes for November Shipments.
The truck farmer* hope to make up this
fall for their losses by the frosts of last
spring, and if the season is favorable, the
prospects are bright for good crops of
potatoes, snap beans and cabbage. The
rains of last week were some* hat dis
couraging. but thus far hut little damage
has been done, and that is principally con
fined to cabbage, but tiie plantings are
large and this will but slightly affect the
crop.
In an interview yestardav with Mr. M. L.
Exley, a well-known truck farmer, that
gentleman says the farmers have planted a
very iarge fall crop of Irish potatoes, and
it Unexpected that they will command good
prices north and in th-s lical and interior
market. Th failure of the crop in Ireland,
from rot, the farmsrs think, will stop im
portations, and it U thought that this
country may have to export, so that po
tatoes will command gooi prices. Hereto
fore Savannah truck farmers have, as a
general rule, only planted a fall crop for
Spring seed and to supply the home market,
but this fall heavy pianti’ gs have been
made with the expectation that it will r e
found profitable to ship to northern mar
kets. With fair w-ather IrUh potatoes now
in the ground will he ready to harvest by
the Nov 15, and if prices should
be good all the fall crop will lie shipped.
except enough for spring planting.
It has been conclusively shown that
southern truck farmers find home-grown
seed the surest, as it stands the early frosts
and wet weather better than the northern
potato. Many truck farmers had to plant
the third time last spring lefore they could
get a good s'and, as the frosts injured the
northern seed, hundreds of barrels of which
rotted in the ground, especially seel
brought from Boston.
Referring to the superiority of the south
ern grown potato for seed over the northern
potato, Mr. Exley said: *• A northern
potato, if it lies in the wet ground two weeks,
will rot, while a southern grown potato
will stand a wet season for five or six weeks
and then sprout. It seems that the potato,
like a person, must be acclimated to do
welL”
There has been a very large
acreage of potatoes planted thus far,
and when the ground dries out a little
this acreage will be increased, as it has been
well established that the truck farmers are
susceptible of raising two crops of potatoes
in a year, and as high as 250 bushels per
acre nave been raised of a fall planting.
Farmers have sat more than the usual
acreage of cabbage this month, and the
crop will bagin to come into the market
about November, and run through Novem
ber, December and part of Januiry. This
crop is raised principally for
the home and interior markets,
but if the potato crop should be short
as reported it will increase the demand for
cabbage, and if there should bo any short
age of the northern crop the truck farmers
hereabouts will find a ready market north.
Snap beans have been planted for Novem
ber shipment to the north aid to the Inte
rior. Iu fact the more intelligent class of
.Savannah truck farmers realize the capa
bilities of the soil and climate, and are tak
ing advantage of this knowledge to make
heavier fall crops than ever before.
The rains of last week have affected the
hay harvost considerable, but, with a few
days of fair weather, a very heavy crop of
hay will be harvested on lands that have
already produced a spring crop of truck,
and which will soon do service for a fall
crop.
A STRANGER IN THE PEW.
A Monkey Includes a Church In His
Sunday Outing.
The uiual serenity of the worshippers at
St. Patrick’s churoh was somewhat dis
turbed yesterday morning at high mass by
the intrusion of a stranger in the shape
of a monkey, whose antics ex
cited the risibilities of the most
devout members of the congregation.
The simiofi disported himself in various
grotesque attitudes inside the sacred edifice.
On his entry he singled out one of the most
handsome looking young men in the con
gregation, who was very much engrossed in
his prayer book. The monkey alighted on
the youug man’s shoulders and scanned his
countenance closely, as if looking for an
old acquaintance, but as the monk did not
seem to recognize the gentleman, the
animal jumped down on the pow rail
and hung by his caudal appendage for a
while. Then he continued on ddwu along
the pew rail toward the altar chattering all
the time until he reached the altar, when ho
nimbly jumped up on the altar rail and
walked its full length across the church.
By this time matters were becoming
serious and the equilibrium of the con
gregation was somewhat unsettled when the
Bexton appeared with a club, followed
closely by one of the clergy, who gave chase
and as this was a reception the monkey
bad not counted on, he made a hurried exit.
followed closely by the sexton’s club.
Once outside the monkey continued his
travels out in the southern portion of the
city, drawing large crowds of men, women
and children of both racos wher
ever he stopped to exhibit. "Da monk”
had apparently lost his friend,
tho padrone, and was having a Sunday out
ing, which beseemed to e.ijoy as much as
the small boys did iu following at his heels
and twitching hiß tail.
THE THEATRICAL SEASON.
Plays That Are on the Boards the
Present Week.
"McCarthy’s Mishap" is the attraction
for the opening of the season at the theater
to-night.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: At the
People’s this week Frank McKee’s company
in “A Tin Soldier” is giving a performance
that wins the laughter and applause of
large audiences. The company is in much
better working order thau when it was last
seen in this city, and the performance
averages well with previous representations
of the piece in this city. Kate Quieten, as
"Violet Hughes,” is one of tho best delinea
tors of rough Irish comedy the part has had.
Kitty Kensale is merry aud active as
“Patsy,” her danciug being a pleasing
feature. Arthur Duun is the acrobatic
“Rats,” Paul Dresser is the "Plumber;” Mr.
Earl Sterling, the Brooklyn bridge; Miss
Lillian Wood, “Victoria;” Miss Lotia Holly
wood, “Carrie Story;” Mr. Graham, the
"Italian.” These work very well together
now aud give a most admirable perform
ance.
The "Tin Soldier” is on tho boards at the
theater to-morrow night.
The Richmond, Va., Times says: “Before
a packed house, standing room being at a
premium in all parts, the Mozart Aea iemy
opened last night, presenting‘After Dark.’
The production and the company scored an
instantaneous and unqualified hit, and ap
plause and shouts of approval prevailed
throughout.”
"After Dark” will be presented at the
theater next Thursday night.

mands the situation, so to speak. It says :
The name of Brady, a contractor who did
tbke work at Brown’s cut last year, has be
come a familiar one of late. He is an
o stacle m the way, as he has ade t against
the road, which, he claims, amounts to
*13,000, while the railroad company sav
tiioy ouly owe him *7,000. Seated in his
shanty, built iu tho reck cut where the
track, after being used for a
tune, was torn up for him to
complete his work by loweriug
the grade, holding a deed from the former
owner of the land who claimed that it was
never condemned, Brady has stopped, by
the display of a shotgun, the workmen sent
to replace the track. The case has been
before Chancellor Bearden several times,
a id that gentleman has so far refused to
grant the kind of injunction sought by tho
railroad constructors which would remove
Brady and his house. And thus the matter
stands.
How It Feels to BeJScalped.
Robert McGee, who lives in the neighbor
hood of Chillicothe, Mo., says a New York
Herald dispatch from Kansas City, had the
top of his head torn off by au Indian
twentv-six years ago, and it has never
healed, but has been constantly sapping
away his lifo. Ho says: "I was an orphan
boy without a home, aud being offered *9O
a month I was induced to drive a govern
ment team across the plains in the summer
of 1864. When on Walnut creek, near
where Great Bend is now located, our party
was attacked by the Brule Sioux under Lit
tle Turtle, tho famous chief. He had a large
number of Indians at his command, and
soon captured our outfit and massacred the
entire party after taking then prisoners.
I fell to the lot of the chief, who desired mv
scalp, and knocked me down witli a spear
handle. As I fell I was shot, the ball pass
ing through my body and lodging against
' a rib. The chief then made a semi-circular
cut around mv head, and, placing his foot
on the back of my neck, tore the entire
scalp from my head, causing such untold
agony that 1 fainted, which probably saved
my life, for, after shooting an arrow
through me, they left me for dead with my
murdered companions. I lay for three
hours in the hot July sun until some
soldiers came along, aud. seeing that I was
still alive, they took me to the tort, wb.ro
the surgeon succeeded in saving iny life.”
ART AT THE MANSION.
PLANS FOB BEAUTIFYING THE
WHITE HOUSE INTERIOR.
Over $13,000 to be Expended—The
Blue Room Will be Made Excep'ton
ally Handsome, and a Picturesque
Tile Floor is to be Laid on the South
ern Portico—A Generel Renovation.
Now that the President has joined the
other members of the executive household
at Creeson, says the Wa*hington Post, for a
few weeks of needed rest, the extensive re
pairs which have long been contemplated
at the white house, and which have been iu
progress for a short time, will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible. The ex
ecutive mansion has already undergone a
thorough renovation from cellar to garret,
and when the repairs, now in progrees and
to be commenced, are completed the estab
lishment will be in better shape than it ever
has been in its history. The repairs which
are being made will cost about *13,000, not
including the 800 incandescent lights which
are also to be put in.
The plans for these much neoded improve
ments were prepared in accordance with
suggestions of Mrs. Harrison, and are being
carried out as rapidly as possible under the
direction of Col. <). H. Ernst, superintend
ent of public buildings and grounds. The
work commenced some time ago in the
kitchen of the mansion, located in the west
basement, and that department is about
completed. There are in fact two kitchens
joining each other, one a largo room with a
very large range, which occupies almost
one entire side. This is only used on occa
sions when large numbers are entertained.
The family kitchen, with a much smaller
cooking plant, adjoins the larger on the
west, occupying the basement room in the
northwest corner of the building.
dThegrepairw here consist principally in a
new tde floor of a good desigu, and a
wainscoting five feet high of snowy white
imported tile. This tile is verified, and is
absolutely impervious to dirt and grease of
every description. The White House culin
ary department has not escaped the roach
post altogether, and in fact thesa impudent
little insects have been quite an annoyance
there. The new tiling will put a stop to
them. All the old woodwork, except the
shelving, has been torn out, and every spot
about the two rooms have been painted and
freshened up.
The south portico opening out of the
Blue Room is al-o being beautified with a
new tile floor, which takes the place of the
ancient sandstone which has long been
rough and unsightly. Men are now en
gaged in cutting the stone floor down to
make room for the tiling. This part of the
work is being done by an eneastic tile com
pany of Anderson, Ind., who propose to put
down one of the finest and most artistic
pieces of floor to be seen in the country.
The central figure in the floor will he the
national coat of arms in blocks of red,
white ana blue. The work is the style
known to tile men as “Roman mosaic,”
differing very materially from the genuine
oldlmosaic. The main body or background
of this floor is in white and salmon blocks.
They expect to have it completed in about
three weeks.
One of the most important improvements
to be made will be injthe Blue Room, the
walls of which are to be most artistically
finished. The plans for this part of the
work were prepared by E. S. Georgoson
and William H. Post of Hartford, Conn.,
the artists who decorated the famous
lemon rooms at tho Shoreham. The plans
were prepared in aco irdance with the ideas
of Mrs. Harrison, and the contract for the
work nas been given to the artists named.
The work is to be in three shades of tbe
traditional blue.
The desigu calls for a deep frieze, extend
ing from the ceiling to the windo w tops, in
fine figured work in relief, and for a high
wainscoting, also of raised work of a similar
character. The main body of the walls,
from tbe frieze to tho wainscoting, is to be
of a rich American silk, figured to corre
spond to the work in relief above and
below. The new silk curtains will hang
from window tops of carved wood and
exquisite filagree work. The Blue Room
walls have uot been touched, except to keep
them clean, since Tiffany & Cos. of New
York decorated them during tho adminis
tration of President Arthur.
The furniture of thiß famous r om is also
to have anew covering of plush in three
shades of blue, beautifully wrought and en
riched in brocade work of sijk and gold.
The new carpet has been selected and is a
handsome uew Wilton. Tne ceiling will
also be decorated by the Hartford firm, the
desigu being in relief to match the frieze
and wainscoting. The designs for the work
are at the office of Col. Erust. They are in
the exact colors of which the room is to be
finishei, and from them it can be seen that
the effect will be very fine.
Later in the season the historical old east
room is to have a fine new carpet and
elegant now curtains, neither of wnich has
as yet been selected. A number of other
rooms, including the private dining room
and four bedrooms are being rebapered.
The ceiling of the second fl ior corridor is
also to be painted, and the walls, including
those of the stairway, will be repapered.
The small usher’s rooms, just off the front
entrance, which has not been repaired since
the administration of President Grant, will
be refinished throughout.
These are many other improvements on
the interior of the executive mansion are
bemg made 'his year, and many plans for
its betterment would be made had congress
bee i a little more liberal in the appropria
tion for this purpose.
Tho out ide of the building, which has
not been painted for four years, also comes
in for two coats of white lead, which has to
be laid on immediately.
It is not expected that all the work con
templated can be carried out before the
arrival of the President and family from
Cress >n, though all of the private apart
me its will bo ready for occupancy by ' that
time.
At present the state dining room is being
used as a waroroom, and is stored full of
furniture and enroots, and the house shows
more or less disorder everywhere.
RUSSIAN RIGOR.
Hard Lines fora Hebrew Claiming to
Ee an i merican Citizen.
Richmond, Va., Sept. 5. —Mayor Ellison,
who has ju-t returned from Europe, tolls a
thrilling exi>erienco of A. Davidson, a He
brew, who revisited his homo in Russia, and
who accompanied the mayor on his return
trip here. He w’ent with a letter of intro
duction from Secretary Blaine to the United

passports. Davidson arrived at his homo in
Russia, but had to leave iu less than two

He fled to Warsaw, where he was sum
moned from the hotel to the inspector ge -
eral’s office. He hurriedly drove to the
American consul’s office aud asked him what
was tho meaning of this summons, showing
to the consul his letters from Mr. Blaine
and other papors. The consul seemed vory
much ag.tated and told him that he was in
great danger, but he did not know what he
could do for him, and that in all probability
he would ho seat to Siberia. Ho informed the
consul that he was a Ma.on, and upon that
the consul arose, shut all the doors, closed
all the windows, "for,” said he. “even the
walls have ears,” and gave Mr. Dividson in
structions by which it might be po iblo for
him tooioape. “It will cost in; .ny posi
tion,” ho added, “and perhaps ray life if it
is ever known that I over helped you.” The
consul then told Mr. Davidson that it would
be necessary for him to resjiond at once to
the demands of of the inspector, but told
him to get an interpreter, pretend not to
know anything about the language and say
as little as po-wibk*. "You haio already
violated a law which f irb.ds you t > romain
in Russia longer than twenty-four hours,
aud 1 can not say wuat your fate will uo.’
Having secured au interpreter, Mr. Da
vidsin reported to the inspector general.
Upon appr acting his headquarters he was
at once taken in charge by a gendarme,
who guarded him cloaely wnile he was in
the building. When he got into the room
where the inspector was sitting he found bis
passport on th* desk, and attached to it, as
he subsequently learned, a letter from the
Russian consul at Berlin to the inspector
general, informing him that Mr. Da
vidson was a spy. As soon as that
was read to him by the inspect r he feared
that ail hope was gone. Mr. Davidson in
sisted upon his rights as an American citi
zen, and the inspector general informed him
after much questioning that, having
violated the laws of the empire, he must pay
a fine of 59 roubles. This he was only too
glad to do. supposing that that would end
the matter, but when the amount was
counted out his passport was folded up
and handed to one of the armed guards
in attendance, and he was told to escort
Mr. Davidson through another room,
where he went through the same ex
amination and still heavier fines were
imposed upon him. In this way he
was conducted from room to room until he
had paid nearly 400 rubles, when he was in
formed that he must quit the city on the
train which left that evening for Vienna,
and was handed a card with writing < a it
to that effect, this passport being good only
for that train. As soon as he left the build
ing he was met by the American consul,
who had been watching for his coming, and
who informed him that if he left on the
train indicated by hi* Russian passpirt he
would never see home again, as that was
simply a plan to capture him in the night
and hurry him off to the Siberian
mines. The consul, therefore, urged
him to take the train, which
left in Vialf an hour, for Ger
many. and take chances of getting there,
for in no other way oould he escape the
vigilance of the Russian officers. He took
the consul’s advice, hurried to the train and
was so fortunate as to be in company with
a great crowd of people, and when his pass
port was examined at the boundary the
hour for which it was good was not noticed,
anl he crossed the line into Germany and
was a free man. “He told me,” concluded
Mayor Ellison, “that the scenes at the in
spector general’s office were most heart
rending, women and children begging for
the release of their loved ones who had been
sent away from their homes.”
