LOCKED CP IN A FOC.
NAVIGATION ON THE RIVER SE
RIOUSLY INTERFERED WITH.
TT* New York and Boston Steamers
Anchored Over Night, But Get to Sea
During a Rift in the Blackness-The
Baltimore Steamer Remains at Her
Wharf-Vessels Waiting to Get Up
the River and to Get Outside—The
Weather Outlook.
There was a rift in the fog yesterday. It
lifted about 10 o’clock and enabled a few
steamers to put to sea. For twenty-four
hours before that navigat.on was at a
standstill, owing to the density of the fog
which extended from the neighborhood of
Augusta to the mouth of the river and out
to sea.
Three Norwegian barks, which were wait
ing for the fog to lift and which were bound
out, weighed anchor from the roads and
put to sea.
The Chattahoochee,for New York.andjthe
Gate City,’for Boston, attempted to nick
their way down the river Saturday night,
but failed, owing to thickness of tho fog,
■nhich, apparently, was more dense on the
water than ashore, and objects c .uld not be
discovered five feet.
STEAMERS TIED UP.
The Gate City managed to get as far as
the bigbt, where she was anchored for the
night. The Chattahoochee did not get any
further than the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway Company’s wharf,
where she tied un for the balance of the
night. The Wm. Lawrence, which was
also bound out, did not leave her wharf
until yesterday morning. When tho fog
cleared up all three steamers went
down in a bunch and made for the
bar I efore another fog could envelop them.
The steamer City of Americus, which was
due early yesterday morning, did not arrive
at her wharf until 5 o’clock in the afternoon,
bavingfbeen detained by the fog up the river.
The schooner Austin D. Knight, with
railroad iron, and which was due up to the
city from Tybee Saturday night, did not
get up until yesterday.
AT ANCHOR OFF TTBEE.
An unknown British steamship was
passed at anchor >IT Martin’s iudustry
lightship on Saturday, where it is believed
she was compelled to stop on account of the
density of the weather.
The British steamship Branel, Capt. Hen
derson, arrived yesterday afternoon and is
believed to be the unknown parsed off Mar
tin’s ludustry, ns the captain reported de
tention by the fog.
The schooner Tena A. Cotton also got up
yesterday from sea. There are two schoon
ers unknown at Ty bee which came in yes
terday. It is not known, however, how many
vessels came into the roads during
the past two days, and cannot be found
until tbo weather clears up, but it is te
lieved that there are several.
Quite a fleet of sailing vessels is loaded
ana readv to put to sou the moment the fog
lifts. The Norwegian barks Ellida
and Inheritance and the brig Mary
T. Kimball and the schooners Norman,
Emma Heather and Adele Tbackera are
all waiting for favoraDle woather to get
out. The fog amain spread its canopy over
the river and city last night, and naviga
tion was paralyzed.
AN UNUSUAL. SPELL OF WEATHER.
The weather shows no signs of cooling off
yet. Just when everybody bad made up
their minds that there was going to be
some cold weather, and had prepared them
selves for it, it turned warm again and left
the people sweltering in their boavv winter
clothes. Tho worst of it is that the warm
siiell continues, with no indication of grow
ing cooler, but rather growing warmer all
the time.
The first week of November was rather
cool; then tho weather suddenly turned
warm again, and has continued so since.
This is a most u usual spell of weather for
November. A glance nt the weather reports
Bbows that during tho last ulne days there
lias been a departure of 69° in excess of the
average temperature for sixteen years, the
excess for the year being 166° on Nov. 8,
and 330’ on Nov. 16.
WILL CATCH IT LATER.
This moons that Savannah will “catch it”
when the cold weather does come. The
heavy fogs and the muggy condition of the
weather have added to its disagrerableness.
Tho sig ial observer said the prevalence
of a continued low area pressure in the
gulf prevents tho movement of slight
high area pressures, which have formed
further north, In this direction, causing a
general barometric depression throughout
the southern states. There is no telling
how much longer this spell cf weather may
last.
Yesterday’s maximum temperature was
76 and the minimum 65°, giving a mean of
TO 0 , which was 13' above the normal.
There was considerable rain reported
in the south yesterday, especially
in tho western cotton districts.
The Little Roc'; district reported .28 inches,
Memphis .58, Mobile .53 and Vicksburg 56.
Light showers were reported fr >m the S i
varnah district. The observer’s prediction
for to-day is “rain, with stationary tem
perature.” There is no probability of cooler
weather.
THE GORDON SAFE ROBBERY.
Savannah Detectivas to Get SIOO Re
ward for Capturing the Craciiamen.
The Gordon Press gives quite an account
of the safe robbery in Gordon Jast week.
tor which the two men, Armor and MeNeal,
were arrested in Savannah Friday night.
The Press says: “After hearing the ex
plosion in Bridges & Co.’s store, safe-blow
ing was at onoo suspected, and, as several
persons had arrived on the scene
immediately after the report, it was
thought that the burglars bad not
escaped from the building. Accord
ingly a guard, well armed with pistols, rifles
and guns, surrounded the house, while
another crowd, similarly equipped, entered
the store and made a thoroug 1 search for
the criminals, and after being convinced
that they had effected their escape, attention
■was turned to the safe. The door of tho
safe was blown off a distance of nine feet,
knocking the small railing down which sur
rounded tho office and shattering an oft!eo
stool and chair. As powder was the ex
plosive power, it is supposed that it re
quired at least two pounds to bring ab nit
this result, the safe being four and a half
feet high and weighing about 3,01)0 pounds.
Upon examining the contents of the site
it was found that the burglars had
received only about $4 for their trouble,
and in their haste to escape had left about
J 8 or 410 behind, Tho burglars also left a
large syringe, which they used to pump the
powder through the small hole drilled in the
safe door. A large brace was tumid lying
near the office desk.
‘The detectives who captured the robbers
will get 110© reward offered by the citizens
of Gordon.”
The ldewalit Contract.
Contractor Martin Cooley is pushing his
street paving contract. Ida has gangs of
men laying sidewalks on East Broad, Jones,
Charlton, Harris and Price streets, and
throughout other parts < f the district. So
far all the property owners have been deal
ing directly with Mr. Cooley, thereby avoid
a'l trouble with toe city authorities.
Mr. Cooley is personally superintending the
work and having it carried on as fast as
practicable.
The Ogeechee Rica Crop In Bad Con
dition.

| badly damaged by the long spell of bad
weather. One prominent piantor said yes
terday that the lo .s would bo from 60 to CO
cent., and if there was not a cessation
tb hoav y dews the damage
would be much greater.
THEY ALL LIKE SAVANNAH.
The Gasmen Think There Is no Place
Like it.
The I'rogrexxive Age, devoted to go*,
electricity and water, in its November
number, gives a twenty-four-page report
of the recent meeting of the American Gas
light Association in this city. In writing of
Savannah, the Age says:
“‘A fair city in a sunny land. Its broad
harbor bears the (Lets of commerce.
Throughout its bounils bv day the hum of
industry is heard: by night the light laugh
of pleasure breaks the soft silence. Its name
the’symbol of fertility; its history a record
of heroic deeds.’
“Inspiration could r.ot better have de
scribed the Forest City ss seen by the
American Gas Engineers than has the writer
of tho above sentiment, take i from the
toast list of the banquet given at the De
Soto Hotel, Oct. 23. Except for ref resil
ing showers on the second day
of the meeting, tho weather during
the entire third week of October
was perfect; so cool that light wraps were
carried as a precaution, and so warm that
they were not found neee-sary. The days
and nights proved perfect for the pleasures
planned by the hosts ad their fair aides.
At no previous meeting of the gas men has
the local welcome, and concern for the
visitors’ welfare, been so important and
pleasing a feature of the gathering. In
the words of one of the visitors, ’From the
welcome of tho mayor, voiced by the
silvery tongue of Judge Adams, to the post
prandial orations of her eloquent citizens,
Savannah gave of her best.’ And Savan
nah’s best is unique.
“The northern visitor finds much that is
new to his eyes in this city. In architecture,
from the grand hotel to the negro’s cabin,
the style is strange to the dweller in colder
climes. In vegetation the difference in lat
itude insures the presence of new forms
that do not fail to interest.
“Wo believe the evidences of a large
commerce and local jobbing trade were a
surprise to most of the visitors. To our
eyes, which have had the privilege of look-.
ing on Savannah in the past, the growth
of tra ie tnat is so evident us to
impress the most observant, is very
gratifying. There can be no doubt that
this seaport is enjoying what, in more noisy
localities, would be called a boom. The
growth has about it a solidity that argues
it inoro than a mere spurt. It is not tho
result of advertising by real estate agents,
and lias the certainty of a permanence that
has been denied the brass band heralded
mushroom booms of many western towns.
“Aside from the literary part of the meet
ing, the interest naturally centered in the
banquet, which was tendered the members
and accompanying ladiei, and ti.eir Savan
nah friends, by the United Gas Improve
ment Company of Philadelphia and the
Mutual Gas Light Company of Savannah.
To man who know Alex C. Humphreys of
the former company, the smoothness and
success with which eacli part of tho gener
ous arrangement for the entertainment
of the visitor* was carried through
was no surprise. Ably sec
onded by President David Douglas,
of the Mutual compauy, he mad: that part
of the programme for which he was respon
sible a source of comfort and pleasure to
every one interested. The banquet was in
keeping with the character and position of
the companies giving it. To no handsomer
one has the American Gas Light Associa
tion ever been invited, and it is not possi
ble to imagine one in tetter taste.”
JOHN A. HONIG’B FUNERAL.
The Unfortunate Man's Friends Pay
the Last Tribute of Respect.
Tho funeral of John A. Honig, who com
mitted suicide Friday, took place yesterday
afternoon at 3 o’clock from the residence of
his sister, Mrs. Doscher, at No. 52 Harris
street.
The procession was the largest that has
been seen in Savannah for a long time. It
was about a mile in length. There was an
escort of 124 men in line, as follows: Ger
man Volunteers, 44 men; Nacoochee Tribe
of Red Men, 45 men, and the German
Friendly Society with 35 men.
Rev. W. S. Bowman, pastor of the
Lutheran church, performed the fuueral
services at the house and grave. After Dr.
Bowman offered the prayer at the grave,
the Red Men marched into the lot, and,
after forming a circle, A. N. Mauncy read
the impressive burial service of tho order.
As the prayer was finished, each brave took
a sprig of evergreen from his coat and cast
it upon the coffin, saying at the samo time,
“Farewell, brother.”
The grave was completely hidden from
view bv the floral enibletnbs laid upon it by
the friends of the deceased.
The German Volunteers fired the usual
military salute of three volloys over the
grave.
The pall bearers were Theodore Roderick,
Charles N. Maurv, Henry Behr, Frank
Freiherr, Henry Margraves, Henry Toehl,
Diedrich Grotherr, and William Lindsay.
Tho interment was in Laurel Grove ceme
tery.

FOII TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
i FATHER FOLEY TALKS TO CATHO
LICS ON TEMPERANCE.

Groat Evil, Intemperance, With Un
gloved Hands-Whet- t.he Total Ab
stinence Movement is Accomplish
ing The Duty of Catholics and All
Church People to Rid the World of
IBStrong Drink.
Catholio Library ball was crowded last
night to its utmost seating capacity by an
audience of men and women who bad
assembled to listen to the temperance ad
dress of Father M. F. Foley of Baltimore.
The reverend gentleman’s fame as an orator
had preceded him to Savannah, and the
large crowd was not disappointed, as the
address was one of the most learned arid
scholarly that has been heard in this city
for a long time. Father Foley has an
earnest, winning way of speaking, which
attracts the attention of his auditors at once,
and holds their interest until the conclusion
On tho stage were Rev. Edward Cafferty,
vicar general; Rev. P. H. McMahon, Rev.
W. A. McCarthy, M. J. O’Leary, captain
of the Savannah Total Abstinence Guard;
James L. Gallagher, John W. Reynolds,
John M. Mcßride, M. J. Barrett and John
J. Foiey.
FATHER FOLEY’S INTRODUCTION.
Vicar General Cafferty in a neat speech,
extolling the virtues of temperance, intro
duced Father Foley. He v> as received with
applause, and spoke for nearly an hour,
“l'he Catholic Total Abstinence Movement”
was the subject, and Father Foley congratu
lated the Catholics of Savannah in showing
by their presence in such largo numbers
that they are interested in the great ques
tion of temperance,that is now confronting
America and the whole world.
“The Catholic total abstinence move
ment,” said the speaker, “began fifty-two
years ago, when Father Matthew, that
great apostle of temperance, brooding over
the evils, both temporal and eternal, that
wore hanging over his countrymen from
their habits of intemperance, began the
crusade that has made his name famous in
every civilized country.
father Matthew’s work.
“At the sound of his “great voice the
demon of intemperance fled, and full and
plenty succeeded what had before been
misery and poverty. All over Ireland
fervent thanks went up to God for the
deliverance of his people from a tyrant
worse than English rule lias ever been.
“We know the results of Father
Matthew’s work in America. Everything
seemed to fight him, even to plague and
pestilence, but ho went on with his noble
mission and eventually triumphed. Thank
God, Father Matthew’s work has not per
ished, and his name never can or will be
forgotten.”
Bather Foley proceeded to show the great
results of united effort to crush out the evil
of drunkenness. “Does any one doubt,” he
asked, “t.l e need of organization to meet
this foe* To doubt tho need of organization
would be to doubt the fact of the existence
of intemperance itself.
£3“Go wcere you will in our great cities,
and see what horrible results of intemper
ance greet the eye. Look at the wrecks of
what were once the fairest of women! Look
at the sad picture of what was once a
handsome and intelligent man. See the
vast cumber of old, tottering, gray-haired
parents going down in grief to their graves
at tho loss of their loved children from
this horrible vice. Then tell me there is no
need of organization for the salvation of
mankind.
THE COMPANIONS OF DRUNKENNESS.
“Wherever you find drunkenness there
you will also find its satellites of mur
der, lust and rapine. What tills our jails
and scaffolds but intemperance, God
created man little less than the angels, but
when that man becomes the victim of the
demon drink, be becomes as low as the
brute, and drags bis crown of glory in the
mire of whisky and infamy. He becomes
lower in his habits even tuau swine.
“1 cannot understand how any one who is
a lover of God or his fellow man can be
otherwise than an enemy to drink. Catho
lics particularly should be leaders in this
great reform movement, for if eyen there
was not an iota of intomperance among
them the Church Universal is the acknowl
edged means of saving souls from Satan.
“But it is a sad truth that no people on
earth have suffered more from the evils of
intemperance than Catholics, and I say it
with shame.
“Far above all the temporal consequences
of drink, we must look to the terrible con
sequences awaiting a drunkard in eternity.
God has said plainly ‘No drunkard shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven!’ and he
means it.”
A WORD FOR SAI.OON MEN.
Father Foley spoke in scathing terms of
saloons and saloo.i keepers. “Saloons,” said
he, “are the principal factors in causing in
temperance. They ara a standing tempta
tion and a menace to the public good.
While the selling of liquor in itself may not
be legally unlawful, who is it that dares
deny that it is a moral wrong* The
saloon power of America is allied with
everything that is morally, socially and
politically corrupt. Show me the man who
says the saloon lias made him a better
father, a belter or more loving husband, or
a better citizen.”
The speaker appealed to all Catholics to
got out of the vicious business of keeping
saioons, which are not only the enemy
of the individual but the enemy of ttieir
God, their country and their cnurch. lie
appealed to all Catholic?, particularly the
young men, to join the total abstinence
movement, and help by their deeds and ex
ample to throttle the demon which is suck
ing the life blood of America.
THE TOTAL ABSTINENCE UNION.
Father Foley spoke in terms of praise of
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America, which, he said has nt present 53,-
000 members, and was organized to carry
out the work of Father Matthe w. He then
wont Into a detailed account of its work
ings and the many benefits to lie received
by members.
He was quite severe on moderate drink
ing. which generally leads to greater excess
as tirno goes by. Temperance organizations,
be said, are a necessity to lift man back to
hi proper place, from which he is often
carried down by drunkenness. He
had no doubt but that there were some
uo pie listening to him last night, to whom
a total abstinence pledge was a dire neces
sity, and to them he particularly appealed
to Btop before it wus too late. “People
say,” said Father Foley, “that there is no
necessity to join a temperance so
ciety as long as tbev do
not drink. To them I * would
say, join for self-protection. Many a man
who is to-day filling a drunkard’s grave said
the same thing in years gone by. when he
thought that he was endowed with an un
usual amount of will power. But reverses
came, and having nothing to support
them like a total abstinence pledge, be
t ok to dissipation and drink, and went
down in disgrace to an early and dishonored
grave. ”
Father Foley’s remarks were frequently
interrupted with applause.
Foolish Martyrs.
There are mart} rg and martyrs. Some wore
wise in the loftiest,some are silly in the most im
provident sense. The word improvident exactly
applies to the latter class, since they neglect to
provide against threatened danger. We com
misserate, but we cannot respect them. Among
the silliest are martyrs to rheumatism, who
might have prevented daily and nightly recurr
ing torture by the early use of Hosteler's
Stomach Bitters, a blood depurent more effi
cient in removing the virus of this complaint
from the circulation than any thus fnr brought
to the notice of the general community and tbo
medical profession. It promotes greater ac
tivitv of thejiidneys. the channel through whlcn
blood impurities, productive of rheumatism,
gout and dropsy, are principally expelled, and
it imparts a degree of vigor to digestion and
assimilation which has a most favorable bearing
on the general health. It also remedies biliious
ness, kidney troubles and malaria.—Asti.
ROYAL BAKING POWDER.
Why Royal Baking Powder is the Best.
“The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure,
for I have so found it in many tests made both for
that company and the United States Government.
I will go still farther and state that, because of the facilities that company
have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent
upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of its preparation,
the Royal Baking Powder
is undoubtedly the Purest
and most reliable baking
powder offered to the public.

THE CSNTRaL NOT IN IT.
The Rumor of Its Big Purchase at
Port Royal a Fake.
The following has been published in sub
stance in several papers m the Routh: “A re
port came from Beaufort, 8. C., that D. F.
Appleton, ownerof Port Royal City, has sold
the old fort, a tract of 150 acres, with its
magnificent grove cf oaks, just above the
limits of the city, and a depth of twenty
four feet of water in front and opening out
to Port Royal entrance, to the Central
railroad of Georgia. He has been repeat
edly offered $150,000 for the site by capital
ists representing a railroad to have its’ ter
minus at Port Royal, and it is ccmcluded
the purchase has been made to frustrate the
Macon and Atlantic, that was after it.”
A Morning News reporter asked Gen.
Alexander yesterday what there was in the
report.
“There is no earthly foundation for such
a report,” said Gen. Alexander. “I cannot
understand how if could have originated.
The Central has not bought any property
at Port Royal, nor ’ thought
of buying any there, ncr had
any proposition to buy property
there. Ido not even know wliat property
Mr. Appletou owns at Port Royal, aud only
have a general idea that he owns property
there at all.
“It is a false idea that the Central rail
road wishes to secure a monopoly of the
water front at Port Royal to shut other
railroad enterprises out,” said the
Central president. “Exactly the
reverse is true. The Central
railroad owns a large piece of property at
Port Royal, with about a quarter of a mile
of water front with twenty-four feet of
water, and we have urged upon parties to
go there and make me of it. About a year
ago I gave a party the privilege of the use
of the Central railroad’s water front at
Port Royal for a number of years
at a nominal rental,/ on condition
that he would start a line of steamships
from there. He has not a single steamship
in operation, however. It is false that the
Central has ever done anything to close up
Port Royal or to injure the place in any
way. On the contrary, the road has
encouraged every enterprise begun there
The Central railroad owns the Port Royal
and Augusta railroad, and it would be
against its own interest! to discourage the
growth of the place.
"Several years ago, in 1879 or 1880, the
Central railroad built a large grain elevator
at Port Royal, with the intention of
attracting the western grain trade
to that point, and offered to transport
grain free of charge there, but could never
secure auv groin traffic. The elevator has
been entirely useless, and is now rotting
down.”
Gen. Alexander remarked that he is tired
of hearing of the Central railroad’s closing
up Port Royal.
MORE CHURCH TROUBLE.
Two Colored Baptist Sisters Settle Dif
ferent Opinions With Their Flats.
The colored Baptists of Savannah seem to
be having a hard time with their pastors.
It is said that for some time considerable
dissatisfaction has been cropping out among
the members of tho First Bryan
Baptist church in regard to the
pastor, Rev. Gilbert Griffin. The Griffin
and anti-Griffin members have had several
warm arguments over ecclesiastical mat
ters recently, and yesterday one of these
arguments ended in a free fight in the
church just after morning service.
Two sisters of opposite views undertook
to discuss the merits and demerits of the
questions at issue, and as they were unable
to sufficiently express themselves In words,
went in for a sotileinon with their fists.
They pulled and gouged each other in a
lively manner until separated und put out
by tho deacons. When the street was
reached hostilities were renewed, and for a
time it looked as if several members of both
factions would become involved.
Finally the “sisters” were separated, and
went on their way swearing vengeance on
each other and threatening to “git a war
rant” to-day.
BT. JOHN’S CHURCH CHOIR.
Its Reorganization Under Mr. Bloia—
The Singing Yesterday.
At St. John’s church yesterday the ser
vice was unusually mteresting.from the fact
of the music being performed by anew
choir, whioli sang on probation. Mr. Blois,
lately of New York, was choir master and
basssinyer, Mr. Rebnberg tenor, Mrs. Wells
alto, and Mrs. Morgan and Miss Carruthers
sopranos. The duet “Savior, Source of
Every Blessing,” by Miss Carruthers and
Mr. Blois, was one of the finest ef
forts in sacred musio recently
heard in Savannah. Miss Carruthers has a
fresh, brilliant and sympathetic voice of
considerable power and cultivation, and Mr.
Blois’singing was excellent. Mrs. W. E.
Morgan, who was heard for the first timo in
Havannah, has a high, sweet soprauo—-not
conspicuous for power. She has clear aud
distinct enunciation and a flue conception.
Her tones are pure and full of oathos, and
her execution brilliant and finished. Mrs.
W ells sang the alto admirably, completing
a line quartette. There is now a probability
of St. John’s church soon having on 9 of the
best choirs in the city.
Funeral of Capt. Brown.
The funeral of Capt. Thomas H. Brown

years. The best physicians of Mobile and this
city said nothing could be done for me. I also
took a large quantity of , but found no re
lief in anything that I took. My limbs were a
mass of ulcers, and when I was sent to a pby
sician in Mobilo my entire body was a mass of
sores. 1 had eiven up all hope, and as a last
resort tried P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root
and Potassium), and after using four bottles
(small size) the tores hAsi, entirely disappeared,
and my general health was never better than at
the present time, and people that know- me
think It a wonderful cure. Respectfully,

Is the “Bachelor” Girl Here?
I' was thinking, a few days ago, on the
subject of Matrimony, and somehow or
other the conclusion came over me that
the girls are cot “marrying off” ns rapidly
this season as in days gone by, and I am
surely afraid that we are about to have the
“bachelor girl” on our hands. Girls! let me
protest against this alarming depression iu
the matrimonial market. Stocks may go
down, securities may fluctuate, but any
tendency to single wretchedness cm
not be condemned too strongly.
Stir up the young men. If they
are wavering, throw out an encouraging
sign. Besides, you don’t appreciate the
many advantages that hinge on matrimony
that you are missing. I was looking through
Sternberg’s mammoth jewelry and art
palace a dav or two ago, and when my at
tention was called to tables and shelves and
showcases jammed with articles solely for
wedding presents, I wondered at the weak
ness of the marriage spirit. Oh! girls, girls
you don’t know what you are losing, and
the sooner you get the young men “down
to business,” and the sooner they get to
Sternberg’s, the quicker all will be happy.
