FARMERS EAT OYSTERS.
TH2 AOS'COLT CRISTS HAVE A
SOLLICKING TIME AT TYBEE.
They Ley Aside the Talk of Crops ar and
Politics and Go In for Fun-The Trip
to the Beech end the Excurslonls’s’
First Glimpse of Old Ocean-The
Oyster Roast end the Dlnrer at the
Ocean House— Gev. Northen Enjoys
It With the Rest of the Farmers.
The Tybee excursion and oyster roast for
the members of the State Agricultural So
ciety yesterday afternoon was a big success.
In fact, it was the biggest thing
Tybee has seen since the summer excursions
ended. Oxer SCO people went down to the
island.
A few minutes before 1:30 o’clock street
ears were in waiting before the city ex
change, on Bay street, and the lie Soto on
Liberty street. Capt. Purse, chairman of
the citizens’ entertainment committee, and
his assistants got their gueste aboard in a
rerr short time, and the party was soon
landed at the Tybee depot. Gov. Nortbea
and tfce ladies' cf bis party were taken
in carriages.
A traiu of eight of the handsomely re
fitted Tybee cars was in waiting. Every
seat was soon filled, and l et" een 50 and 100
people stood in the aisles. Besides tbe mem
bers of the convention, almost every one of
whom made the trip, a large nuuber of
prominent citizens went down by invita
tion.
THE MAYOR AS AN ENTERTAINER.
Mayor McDonough and a number of the
board nf aldermen were in tbe party, and
devoted themselves to tbe entertainment of
tbe visitors. Mayor McDonough was inde
fatigable in his efforts, and it can truthfully
be said of him that he uever stopped talking,
explaining and pointing out places of inter
est from the time the train left Savannah
in the afternoon until it returned again at
night. Mr. Smart of the reception com
mittee was untiring in his effort*. Maj.
Kyals shook bands and cracked jokea with
everybody. There were a number of ladies
on board, most of them strangers, who
seemed to find the trip a very enjsyable one.
The train left Savannah promptly at 2
o’clock and made the run to tne Ocean
House in forty-five minutes. Cobb’s band
was ou board and enlivened the trip with
music.
watching for the ska.
It was interesting to notice the interest
taken by the visitors in everything marine
as the train neared tbe coast. A sharp
lookout was kept on tbe river for veessls,
and each one, as it cam* in sight, was curi
ously eysd and oommsutsd on. A schooner
on bsr way to sea under full sail was an ob
ject of much admiration. Most of the vis
itors were from tbe up-oountry, and few of
them had ever seen a vessel under full sail.
It was a good day far ships. Six ware un
loading at quarantine and there were sev
eral in the river. The curiosity of tbe visi
tors in this line was well satisflod. Fort
Pulaski was the subject of many inquiries.
There were a few of the visitors wtio had
fought around there, and knew something
of its history.
A LOOK AT OLD OCEAN.
The excursion was halted at the Ocean
bouse and the excursionists hurried straight
to the beach to lake a look at the ooeau.
The people of the up-oountry don’t see tbe
ocean very often, and some of the party
had never seen It at all.
“Isn’t this grand?” exclaimed many.
“Ain’t this beach beautiful, though?” said
one; “you could trot a horse for two miles
without stopping. ’’ The tide bad just gone
out, leaving the bard, broad beach.
Few of the visitors bad ever been to
Tybee, but many expressed the determina
tion of coming down there this summer.
“You can just bet I’m coming back
here,” said one young farmer; “this beats
all creation.”
THE OYSTER ROAST.
The oyster roast whioh had been passed
by in the rush to the lieach, now liegan to
attiact attention. Bushels of hot oyster*
w ere emptied upon the tables under one of
the pavilions, and the visitor* were pro
vided with knives and were soon inducted
by tbe comitntee into the art of opening the
juicy bivalves. It was said that there were
some iu the crowd who had never eaten an
oyster. This was hardly true, but it was
certainly the first oyster roast for many of
them.
Savannah hag a great many thinn to
offer an agricultural convention which it
cannot get elsewhere, and it U safe to sar
that the convention will head this way
again before many more years are added to
its history.
Cobb’s band took it* position in the pavil
ion and played during the afternoon.
“Dixie” brought forth a round of cheers. A
number of waltzes were played, which were
taken advantage of by the young people,
and many older ones watched tbe gliding
tvnltzers with interest.
THE SEDUCTIVE PUNCH.
It is safe to say that the most attractive
feature of the entertainment was the huge
bowls of punch and other liquid refresh
ments which were served out. It was the
genuine Artillery punch, and many
of the visitors showed that they
were unacquainted with its se
ductive influence by the hearty manner
in which they drank it. Many drank the
harmless looking beverage under the name
of “Savannah lemonade,” and, having
taken one glass, proceeded to finish up on
half a dozen. Some of the excursionists
drank enough to have laid out a Chatham
Artillery veteran, witheut any apparent
effect.
“You don’t get this to drink up the coun
try,” remarked a citizen to a Polk county
man.
“No, we have to make out on mountain
com,” said the gentleman from Polk as he
loc k another glass ot punch.
They enjoyed it, ana it is safe to say they
will not forget Savannah.
THE DINNER.
At 4 o’clook Capt. Purse announced that
dinner was ready and the visitors w ere in
vited into the dining-room of the Ocean
house*
The governor and bis escort entered In the
following order: Mayor McDonough with
Mra. Northen, Capt. Purse with Gov.
Northen, M. A. O’Byrne with Miss Northen
and Miss McDonough, Col. Peter Keilly
with CoL John O. Waddell, Thomas Bal-
Jantyne with Mrs. McDonough, Maj J. L.
Warren with Mrs. Haslaoi. The party took
a position at the center table with" Gov.
Northen at the head. CoL L. F. Livingston
occupied tbs head of the table at the left.
The visitors filed in and took positions
around the table as convenient. Capt.
Purse invited them to partake of an in
formal dinner?as the guests of the city of
BavAnuab. His invitation was accepted
most heartily.
After dinner the visitors listened to
speeches by Judge John Mcßae of
Montgomery county and Mr. Car
michael of Coweta. Judge Mcßae
■was too full for utteranoe, and could only
say "Mv friends and follow countrymen, I
am glad to meet you on Tybee island.”
THE WAT TO BE HAPPY.
Mr. Carmichael is 75 years old, and was
lifted on a sand bank, and while the breezes
played with bis hoary locks he delivered
his well known discourse on happiness.
"The way to be happy, my friends,” said
be “is to make other people
happy. I learnt that wbon s boy, and it
always made me happy when I made my
parents happy. When I got married I
always tried to make my wife happy and
that made me happy. I nave lived a long
time and I have found out that the best
way to be happy is to make everybody elee
nappy, J haven’t got much longer to live,
Bl j“ 1 want to make you all happy."
Mr. Carmichael continued in thi6 strain for
some time, and succeeded in making the
crowd happy. He is a strict prohibitionist,
ana refused to partake of even the mild and
harmless punoh. He became thirsty while
gyVjjj *“ speech, and called for
to drink. A glass of
punch was handed him, but
he refused it and called for a cup of coffee.
Capt. Honan scrambled up on tbe sand
bank with a pitcher of beer, bat the old ad
vocate of happiness refused that, too. He
drank his cup of csffee when it was handel
to him, amid the cheers of the crowd, and
then continued his speech.
A GOOD TIME ALL AROUND.
The crowd was in a high good humor,
and calks were made fer Moses end Livinf
ston, but the gentlemen did cot respond.
Capt. Purse called “all aboard” for the
south end of tbe island at 5 o’clock, and the
excursionist* boarded the cars. A quick
run was made to the Chatham
Artillery dob bouse, where a short stop
was made. The train was then run back to
the Hotel Tybee, where the visitors were
given fifteen minutes to inspect tbe hotel.
From that point the run was made back to
the city, reaching here about 7 o’clock.
GOV. NORTHBN’S DAY.
He and His Party are Shown tbe
City's Sights.
Mayor McDonough did the honors again
yesterday morning to the governor. Three
carriages, containing Gov. Northen, Mrs.
Northen, Miss Northen, Mrs. George W.
Harrison, Mia Hayden, hisbonorthe mayor,
Hon. J. L. Warren, Hon. H. P. Smart,
Gen. G. Moxey Sorrel, Mr. Charles Warren
and CoL J. H. Estill, left the De Soto at 9
o’clock.
The first visit was to tbo Ocean Steamship
Company's wharves. The steamship City
ef Augusta was lying at her dock, and Gen.
Sorrel invited the party aboard, and Cant.
Catherine showed them over the ship. The
immense piles of inward and outward
freight ou the wharves were asurprleto
the governor and his party. Gov. Noi then
said nobody onuld appreciate the greatness
of the state unless they visited Savannah
and saw the commerce of the port.
From the Ocean steamship wharves the
party was taken across the city to the east
ern wharves, where the visitors inspected
the operations of one of the new compresses
of the Savannah Cotton Press Association,
Bupt. Waltaour explained the working of
the press. The drive extended to the end of
the Savannah. Florida and Western railway
wharves. Tbe entire wharf front
was lined with steamers and sail
ing vessels, representing all the com
mercial cations of the world, loading with
cottan, rosin, turpentine, timber and lum
ber for foreign and domestic ports, and
others unloading phosphates and other ma
terials for the fertilizer factories. The pres
ence of the factories was very perceptible.
Returning to the city the party stepped
at the county jail and made a short stay. The
governor was well pleased with the ar
rangements for tbe confinement and com
fort of the unfortunates who are awaiting
the due processes of the law.
Arriving at tbe De Soto,the governor took
a few mlautes’ rest and then went to the
meeting of the agricultural society, where
he remained untilltadjourned, after which
he received the officers of the soveral mill
tary organizations and had an informal con
ference in regard to state military matters.
tbe visitors say gcoo-by.
Agriculturists Charmed With Eavau
nah and Their Entertainment
There was a gensral handshaking at the
hotels last night and a bidding adieu on the
part of the members of tho agricultural
society to those who had been their hosts.
Expressions of regret at part
ing were universal. It seemed that
the visitors could not say too
much of Savannah and the hospitable treat
ment they received here. They all declared
their intention of revisiting the city again
at the first opportunity. They were le
minded that Savannah expected to enter
tain the society again some day.
"I have only one objection to Savannah
as a place of meeting,” said President Wad
dell, as he bid Col. Reilly good-by, “ami
that is, Savannah is suoh a hard place to
tear an ay from."
The expresdons of regret were equally as
hearty upon the side of the citizens of Sa
vannah who came in contact with the
visitors. The meeting gave them a genuine
respect for the Georgia farmers. They
found them to be, judging from their repre
sentatives here, upright and cotiscienti ms,
appreciative of courtesy, and always gen
tlemen.
The majority of the member* of tho
society left for their homes last night.
Gov. Northen aud family left for Atlanta,
and Preament Waddell for Americus on
Mayor McDonough, Mr. Smart,
Col. Reilly and a number of others went to
the Central depot to bid Gov. Northen and
the officers and members of the society
good-by. Several remained over last night
and will leave for their homes to-day.
’TWA3 NOT A FULL TURNOUT.
* —.i.i
Savannah Might Have Paraded Twice
aa Many Troops Wednesday.
Several of the commanding officers of tho
military of the city, in speaking of Wednes
day afternoon’s parade yesterday, said the
visitors had gotten the impression that
there was a full turnout of the troops,
whiob is a mistake. Tbe turnout was very
good, considering it was not a regular
parade, and was on a business day.
“Tho military of tbe city could have
turned out nearly twice as many men,” said
Lieut. Col. Garrard, “had they been able to
get off. The parade was a very go and one
under the circumstances, but it would have
boB muck larger had it been on a holiday.”
The parade was generally praised by the
visitors, nevertheless.
A mistake was made in the statoment of
tho number of men turned out by the
Savannah Volunteer Guards Battalion in
yesterday’s Morning News. The Guards
bad out 103 men, rank and file, besides 20
mea in the band, instead of only 80 men
altogether.
THE POSTOFFICE CHANGE.
The Whltflsld Building to be Fitted
for Its New Tenants at Once.
Postmaster Doyle yesterday received a
dispatch from Washington couflrmtug the
dispatch published in the Morning News
of the same day concerning the action of
the department in the selection of the
Whitfield building, at Whitaker, State and
President streets, for the postofflce.
The lease is for five years, at a rental of
$B,OOO a y.'ar, and oovers the street floors,
the basement, and a small room on the
second floor for the postmaster’s private
office.
The building is to be fitted up bv the
owners of the property, the Union Society,
and is to be ready for occupancy hy April
1. The w ora of putting ii fixtures, etc.,
will be done under the direction of Post
master Doyle. It is proposed to make the
Whitfield building such a postoffice as will
be in keeping with other improvements in
Bavannab, and a credit to the postofflce
department.
The unbiased parts ef the ‘ ‘Whitfield”
will be for rent for offices and other pur
poses.
Death of Little Jesse Hoffman.
This interesting little girl, the daughter
of Mr. E. L. Hoffman, died yesterday after
noon after a few days’ illness. Little Jesse
was the pet of the household, and by the
sweetness of her disposition endeared her
self to all who kne w her. Her death has
fallen heavily on her afflicted parents, who
buried a little boy abo t a week ago. The
family has the sincere sympathy of many
friends in their sad be: pavement. Her
funeral will take place this afternoon at
3:30 o’clock from Xo. 208 Liberty street.

CIETY’S ANNIVERSARY.
CoL Charles C. Jones’ Sketch of tbe
Signer* from Georg'a of tbe Decla
ration of Independence One of the
Features of tbe Annual Meeting—
D rector Brandt's Report Upon tbe
Telfair Acadsmy—The Society’* New

The Georgia Historical Society held its
annual meeting last night.
The feature of tbe meeting was the ad

The ball was well filled with members of
the society and ladle*. CoL Jones’address

of tbe declaration, George Walton,
Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett.
The remains of Walton and Hall
are buried in Augusta. Gwinnett, who was
killed in a duel with Gen. Mclntosh in Sa
vannah in 1777, was buried la tbe old ceme
tery on South Broad street, but his grave
was unmarked, and when tbe troubbus
days of the revolution had passed it could
not be found. It is to-day unknown.
CoL Jones directed his ad Ireai chiefly to
Walton, whose remarkablo history is so
closely connected with the history of
Georgia. It as full of local interest and,
from the pen of CoL Jones, it was listened
to with the closest attention.
THE ANNIVERSARY MEETING.
After the addreis tbe society held its
business meeting. Vice President Col.
John Scnven presided iu the absence of
Gen. Jackson, whose illness prevented his
attendance.
Tbe annual reports of the officers were
read, including the librarian’s report. Ti e
total number of volumes in tho library, ac
cording to it, is 18,852. Of this number 258
were purchased las’, year, 130 were re
ceived as gilts and 32 in exchange for
the society’s publication*. There are 1,559
pamphlets in the library, 13'J of which were
received as gifts last year and ninety-four
of which were received in exohange. The
number of volumes added to the library
during the year was 420, and the number of
pamphlets added was 224.
Tbe number of volumes taken out of the
library during the year by members was
12,851. The number of visitors during the
year was 23,713.
THE TELFAIR ACADEMY.
Director Brandt of the Telfair Academy
of Arts and Sciences read an Interesting
report upon the work of the academy dur
ing the last year.
The total number of visitors during the
year who registered is 3,244. Of this num
ber 2,177 were stranger* and 1,067 Kavau
nahians; 364 of the latter are member* of
the Georgia Historical Society, the Telfair
Literary and Art Union Society and those
who had purchased season tickets; 2,880
paid the regular admission fee, 25 cents;
the rest were admitted free of charge.
A general invitation was given to the
public aud lovers ef art to a reception to
view the then newly added paintings to
the collection of tbe academy, which took
place Feb. 27. Over 2,000 persons were
present on this occasion. Thus over 5,000
visited the art galleries during the year.
Thu art class is becoming more oxtended.
The director recem mended that in the near
future an assistant teacher be employed
by the academy to assist the director.
He devotes* personally two days dur
ing each week to tbe classes.
Students are at liberty to oome to tbe
academy every day except Sundays to per
sue their studies, and are aided by the
director in their work.
At the annual reception the paintings
which tho director purchased from the Paris
universal exposition of 1889 from artiste in
Munich and others, and those which he
himself had painted for the academy during
the year, were eeen for tbe first time. Con
cerning them, llireotor Brandt said; “It is
pleasant to be able to report that these new
paiutings have been received with general
favor. That they have enriched the
academy’s collection and have added
to the attraction of the picture
gallery has been universally con
ceded. By thus adding from time
to time well Belectod paintings of a high
standard of merit, the uoademy can be kept
nnaeo with art institutions in other sections
of the land, where lovers of art have set
most laudable examples by giving entire
collections, or single specimens by great
masters of high value, or gifts in money to
such academies or museums, already richly
endowed, to advance their educational im
portance as art schools.”
THE NEW PICTURES.
In reference to the new pictures which
have just been added to the gallery the
director says: "At our next annual re
oeption, soon to tie held, I shall have ready
for exhibition the third large picture of the
series which I am painting for the frieze in
the picture gallery. This painting repre
sents Iktinus, tha architect aud builder of
the Parthenon. With this picture complete
we will have Apelles,Praxiteles and Iktinus,
three worthy representatives of ancient
Greek art.
“The Parthenon, in whose hculptures by
the immortal Phidias are such a rich and
priceless fountain from which to draw
pleasure and instruction, it was fit that the
builder of thiß famous Doric temple should
be represented in tho frieze, Phidias being
already represented in the group of artists
at the threshold of the academy.
The Parthenon, in its architectural
beauty and the sublime sculptures
with which it was adorned,haa been extolled
by all ancient and modern art. One of the
best authorities. In his ‘History of Archi
tecture’ says: ‘Forintellectual beauty, for
perfection of proportion, for beauty in de
tail, and for the exquisite perception of the
highest and most recondite principles of art
ever applied to architecture, it stands
utterly and entirely alone and unrivaled—
the glory of Greece.’ ’’ iktinus in this pict
ure, with compass in hand, is seated on the
partially erected walls of the eella. In the
background are seen some of the columns
which formed the peristylium. Beyond
are sunlit mountains. The builder issur
rounded by the plans of this unsurpassed
example of human art and skill, looking
forward in deep thought, evolving in his
mind those hidden principles of that perfec
tion in proportion which has beeu a guiding
canon to ail students of architecture since
that time.
THE CROWNING OF CHARLES VI.
Another new work of art will also be
ready for exhibition on this occasion. A
cartoon by Prof. Otto of Munich, the
same well-known artist who executed the
"Defeuse of Straubing,” now in the gal
lery of the academy. This is also a char
coal and crayon drawing 10 feet by 12, and
is the original study for the fresco" painting
of the same subject which Prof. Otto
painted for the Bavarian government in
the Munich museum. It represents "The
crowning of Charles VL, Father of
Maria Theresa of Austria, as emperor, in
FrauWfurt-ou-th4-Maiu in 1711. In front of
the high altar, and in the center of
picture, is Charles in a kneel
1 ing posture. At the high altar stands
the Archbishop of Mainz; to tho left of him
the Prince-Bishop of Cologne,aud hr the’right
of him the Archbishop Freising of Munich,
officiating in the crowning ceremonies. Iu
the background in the royal lodge is the
emperor’s family. On the right of the
picture, surrounded by princes and nobies,
stands, with staff iu hand, Count Pappen
heirn, mas er of ceremony. These and
others are portraits of the persons repre
sented.
The picture haß been purchased with
moneys from the receipts of admission to
the academy and iu excess of the disburse
ments of current exnenditures for the year,
with a contribution from the ladies of the
Telfair Aid Society derived from an enter
tainment given by it for the purpose of rais-
ing a fund to purchase pamtisga (or tbe
academy.
in concluding hft report Director Brandt
said: “It will thus be soen that tbe prosper
ity of tbe academy has been continuous,
and while the institution cannot vie with
other art institutions of this country in
pecuniary resources, tbe importance of its
collection of oil paintings is an advantage
which but few possess, and I am encouraged
to advance every interest to its fullest frui
tion which oau be obtained with the
resources at tbe disposal of tbe academy
and such aid as may be offered by an art
loving community in the development of
tbe academy and the promotion of good
taste by the increased favor which its art
treasures and tbe art class are continually
receiving from a jrener us public.”
After Director Brandt’s report the treas
urer and finance committee read their re
ports. Iu concluding his report as treasurer,
Mr. W. S. Bogart, who has bad charge of
tbe society’s finances for twenty-nine years,

AT THE THEATER.
The Marla Greenwood Opera Com
pany in “The Hermit."
Fair audiences atttended the matinee and
night performances at the theater yester
day. The new and popular comic opera
“Amorita,” which has created such a fu-ore
this season in the north, but under the
name of “The Hermit,” was the bill.
The performances were meritorious
In all respects. Miss Greenwood, as
“Carmina,” was charming. Her gen
eral acting and singing was superb.
The selections in response to the hearty
encores were excellent, and the audience
were loud aud enthusiastic in their appre
ciation of her singing. W. P. Guibersou
did “Fra Ricardo" in a splendid manner.
His solo* were very flea. Miss Earnest was
a good “Marcello.” Tom Martin, in the
amusing character of “Bertuccio,’' fur
nished the comedy of the opera. His topical
song, a parody on “Wait Till the Clouds
Roll By,” was full of local hit*,of which the
following is a sample:
Tho new mayor is now enforcing
Tne old time .Sunday code.
And those who carry a jag all the week
On feunday cannot get their load.
You can read no more Sunday papers,
Can’t even net shaved on the sly;
If your whiskers leak Sunday, have
patience till Monday,
And wait tid tbe clouds roll by.
Tbe chorus was strong and well trained,
and the movement of the perfor
mance brought everybody up to the full
enjoyment of the play.
The Greenwood Opera Company appears
to-night in “Girofle-Girofla,” in which
charming opera it has received complimen
tary no:ices from the press wherever it
has been presented.
The Mendelssohn Concert.
The last of the series of three concerts
given uuder auspices ot the Young Men’s
Hebrew Association will take place next
Wednesday, when the ever popular Meu
delssohn Quintette will appear In Savannah.
The prima donna this year, Miss Marie
Barnard of San Francisco, has
awakened enthusiasm wherever she has
appeared. The St. Paul (Minn.) Globe
says: If the unqualified approval and in
dorsement of a critical coi cert audience
made of St. Paul pe iple could confer world
wide fame on a singer, then would Miss
Marie Barnard be famous wherever music’s
swav is known. When the first soft notes
of Mozart’s aria from “Coai fan Tutti”
fell upon the ears of those present
last night the listeners looked from
one to another in surprise at
their marve’ous beauty and purity. They
had heard Juch and knew what to expect
from her—other famous singers had stood
on that same stage, and trilled out wondrous
melodies ere the dainty form of the Cali
fornia prima donna crossed its surface, but
never has an artist* become so instantane
ously popular with St. Paul people as did
Miss Barnard last night.
Tickets are now on sale at Ludden &
Bates Southern Music House and at But
ler’s Pharmacy. The reserved seat diagram
will open on Monday, and, as the hall space
is limited, extra reserved chairs will also be
placed in the balcony.
BOUZA AND COSMAN TRIED.
Souza Guilty of Assault and Battery
and cosman Acquitted.
J. J. Souza, a saloonkeeper at South
Broad and Price streets, who was jointly in
dicted with his partner, Jos. Cosman, was
tried yesterday morning for assault with in
tent to murder J. H. Heller, on Jan. 5. The
trouble originated about a steak in the res
taurant attached to the barroom. During
tho assault Heller’s arm was broken, and he
still carries it in a sling. Souza claimed
self-defeuse, and was defended by T. S.
Morgau, Jr., Esq. The jury foun’d Souza
guilty of assault and battery. Sentenoe
was reserved.
Joseph Cosman, the senior of the firm,
was put up >n trial in the afternoon upon a
similar charge to that against Souza.
Cosmau’s defeuse was that he did not strike
Heller, but simply threw him out of the
place. T. 8. Morgan, Jr., Esq., also de
fended him, and asked for an acquittal.
The jury, after ten minutes’ deliberation,
returned a verdict of not guilty.

GOULD GOES NORTH SICK*
T3S MILLION AIRS TaKSN TO NBW
YORK by bis physiqian.
Carried to Bis Car in St. Augustin*,

A Brief Stop in Savannah—Sidney
Dillon Says the Millionaire is Merely
Suffering from a Cold, and Dr. Munn
Thought it Best for Him to Return
North—Many Surmises as to His
Condition.
Jay Gould, accompanied by Mias Gould
and*Miss McCall, Dr. Munn, Mr. Gould’s
physician, and Siduey Dillon, president tf
the Union Pacific railroad, passed through
Savannah at 10:15 oclock last night, in Mr.
Gould’s private oar.attached to the Atlantia
Coast Line express.
Mr. Gould was taken ill in St Augustine
yesterday morning and ieft at ones for New
York under Dr. Muon’s oare. The nature
of his illness was not known in St Augus
tine, and the party left there on ten minutes’
notioe.
The train was two hour3 late when it
reached Savannan. Mr. Gould ooukl not
be seen and Dr. Munn had retired. Mr.
Dillon came to the car door, and in reply to
inquiries as to Mr.-Gould’s sickness, be said
it was nothing serious. Mr. Gould had
taken a oold while in St. Augustine, which
caused a slight Indisposition, and Dr. Munn
did not consider it advisable for him to con
tinue further od his trip, and for that rea
son they started for home.
what mr. dillon Raid.
“You can say for me,” continued Mr.
Dillon, “that Mr. Gould’s sickness is of no
consequence, any reports to the ooutrary
notwithstanding. If it amounted to any
thing serious ho would hardly be traveling
on a railroad.”
The party, except those on the train, Mr.
Dillon said, continued on the trip originally
mapped out.
Just what the nature of Mr. Gould’s ill
ness is it was impossible to learn. Ii spite
of the statement of Mr. Dillon, there is an
impression that Mr. Gould’s condition is
more serious than his physician would
like to have known. Mr. Gould was suffer
ing from a cold when he was in Savannah,
and the fatigue resulting from the strain of
continued travel during his trip south has
told upon him.
TAKEN SICK SUDDENLY.
A St. Augustine special to the Morning
News says Mr. Gould, before retiring
Wednesday night, ordered at the Ponoe de
Leon an early breakfast, and requested
Steward Bickfore to be on hand to sho w
himself and the ladies over the ground he
had 'raveled in the morning while inspect
ing the cuisine of the hotel. During the
night Mr. Gould was taken very ill. While
nothing was said outside of his immediate
family it wa-. known that the great capi
talist was a sick man and did not care
whether stocks were “bulled” or “beared.”
Early yesterday morning orders
were issued to get Ms special train
in readiness. The breakfast was prepared
as ordered, the escort for the expedition
through the Ponoe de Lson kitchen was
ready, and yet the man borne down tvlth
millions did not have the power to will
appetite or locomotion. The breakfast
went back to the kitchen, the steward to his
storeroom, and more coal was piled into the
furuaoe of the locomotive which was to
rush the ruler of railroads and stocks te the
north.
TAKEN TO HIS CARRIAGE.
At 10 o’clock a carriage stopped under
the archway. The ladies appeared, then a
strong man supporting Mr. Gould. The
face of Dr. Munn confirmed the appearance
of the suffering of Mr. Gould. The party
was rapidly but carefully driven to the
union depot,aud the special train started at
onoe.
Mr. Gould stated his intention yesterday
to go on to the Indian river, and to
visit Mr. Plant’s hotel, because he
had promised Mr. Plant to do so and because
he wanted to go himaelf. Mr. Gould did
more sightseeing in a few hours Wednesday
than the average wonder hunter would do
in two days. He was apparently In good
health when he retired Wednesday night,
and it is thought the fatigues of his long
journey have shaken his constitution.
Dr. Munn declined to make any state
ment of Mr. Gould’s condition in St. Augus
tine. While Mr. Gould was being carried
to his carriage he oomplained of pains in his
stomach and cramps.
