A Block for the Electric Hallway at the Gwinnett Street Crossing. A temporary restraining order was yes terday granted by Judge Falligant iu the superior court against the Electrical Rail way Company of Savannah at the instance of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway to prevent the Electric line from buildiug its tracks across the Gwinnett street crossing. The Savannah, Florida and Western claims that the crossing is its private prop erty and was purchased in 1557 by the At lantic and Gulf railroad from Henry Bryan, together with the land through which Gwinnett street extended runs. The com pany says in its petition that it allows vehi cles to cross for the convenience of the public, and it has built gates to protect people from accident by passing trains. It denies the right, however, of any other railroad to cr ss its tracks, and says that if the electric railway company should be al lowed to do so it would cause great loss m the breaking up of the workings of the switches known as the “block system,” and would also impede travel, delay and ob struct business and would greatly increase the probability of accident. The Electric company is ordered to show cause next Saturday why an injunction pendente lite should not be granted. A New Loan Association.

The grandest attraction of Merchants week will beyond doubt be the “Last Days of Pompeii.” This exhibition will take place every evening during the week'at 8 o’clock at the Pomp -iiaa pa k on Anderson street, be tween Montgomery aud Barnard streets. Five carloads of scenery wed in tbe rep resentation will arrive here this week, and the work of building the city whiob will be destroyed will begin at one*. The scene is taken immediately off the shores of tbe Hay of Naples, with tbe public bath house, which was the general meeting place, tbe temple of Isis and temple of Ar baces in full view. It opens on a fete day in honor to tbe Goddess Isis by Arbaues, simply to exhibit his wealth, splendor and power in Pompeii; and for the amusement of the audience there will be exhibition games, acrobatic feats, boxing, wrestling, and all sorts of Roman sp irts. After this exhibition a solemn procession is formed to the temple, where the golden image is displayed. Glauc is, the Greek, a Christian, refuses to adore tbe goddess Arbaces, a rival for the baud of lona, a fair Pompeiian, denounces him for bis faith, and they fight a duel in front of the temple. The golden image is overthrown, and, dur ing the riot which ensues, Vesuvius shoes signs of activity, and eve dually bursts into eruption. The temples are destroyed, each failing to pieces, and lona aud Glau eus escape from the falling ashes and lava into tbe bay. Nothing is • then seen of the once beautiful city of Pompeii but the ruined temple and columns. After the destruction of the city a display of fireworks will be given by Mr. Pain, which will be in keeping with tbe usual magnificence of such exhibitions, and in which some novel aerial work will be introduced. This last will by no means bes small portion of tbe pyrotechnic duplay. Work on the exhibition grounds is well under way, and will be completed In about two weeks. Mr. Pain’s forces will arrive in a few days. Stage Manager Gifford is ex pected Saturday to begin work preparatory to tbe stage performance, in which oyer 800 persons will take part. to WNBB.ND Vindicated. The a T. A. Decides That He Did Nothing Wrong. President Carey B. Townsend of the Sa vannah Branch of the Southern Travelers’ Association was exonerated by tbe branch last night from any intention to commit the organization in the recent canvass for the city court judgeghip to either candidate. Mr. Townsend wrote a personal indorse ment of Hou. A. H. MaoDonell to Gov. Northen, using the official letter paper of the branch. The letter came into tbe posses sion of a member of the branch through it having been font from the governor’s office to Judge Harden by mistake with his written indorsements, which he requested bo returned to him after the appoiutment of Mr. MacDonell to the judgeship. When the circumstances became known Gov, Northen recalled the letter. A certified copy was made from it, however, aud this was made the basis of tbe complaint against Mr. Townsend that he was usiug bis office improperly. The matter was to have been settled some weeks ago, but on the eve of the meeting at which it was to have come up Mr. Towns end was called away from Savannah by the death of bis brother, and it was postponed. Last night’s meeting was attended by 125 members, aud it was one of the largest meetings the branch has ever held. The complaint against Mr. Townsend was read, but neither iti author nor any wit nesses were present to support it, and the bench declined to recognize it. Mr. Townsend made a full statement of his action and the bench pusaed resolutions unanimously exonera’ing him. The result was ns oompiete and unanimous vindication as could bo accirded bint. Thus ends a question which has excited the trav eling men of Georgia and the south goner rally for the last few mouths. SAID HE WAS A DETECTIVE. But Turned Out to be an All Round Dead Beat. About a week ago a neatly dressed man of genteel bearing, who said his name wag Webb, arrived at the Morrison house and informed the proprietor that he wished board for a few days. He did not pay in advance, and said he was connected with the United States detective agency and was in the city to ork up an important case. Webb said his chief, whom he called Elliott, wou'd arrive in a lew days, and that he would then pay his bill. A day or two afterward the landlady received a let ter, purporting to come from Mrs. Elliott, wite of the alleged chief, in which she stated that W ebb was all right, and would be joined in a few days by her husband. As Elliott failed to show up on time De tec live Si Hasch was callod on to investigate the matter. He met the alleged detective and asked him what agency he was con nected with. Not knowing to whom be was talking Webb promptly replied: “The United States,” but was rather surprised and taken back when Detective Bascb coolly informed him that he was an impostor, as the agency spoken of had not been in ex istence for two years. Webb was advised by the defective to out his visit short and he complied in short order, getting out the city the same night. Several of the l oarders at the mansion are bemoaning the loss of $5 and f 10 bills which they advanced the slick stranger until his mythical chief should arrive. MOVING THB POSTOFFICE. Postmaster Doyle to be in the Whit field Building Tuesday. The work of moving the postoffice to the Whitfield building began yesterday, and most of the heavy furniture was got into tho new quarters.

The Area Covered by Water Greater Than During Any Previous Flood- Planters Fearful That the Seed Has Rotted In the Ground, end That the Crop Will Have to be Replanted— A Probable fcet Back to the Early Rice. There is some diversity of opinion among thoee interested in rice as to the extent of tbe damage, if any there is, from the recent flood. It seem# to be a settled fact that more area was covered with water, and that it was deeper than was ever known in any previous freshet, although the water has been considerably higher at Augusta in former rises. The reason assigned for the oovering of the lands more generally this time Is toot the jetties in tbe river have held the wa’er berk, notwithstanding the winds were favorable for driving it out to sea, and every time the tide came in it backed tbe water up on tbe rice fields, and it was longer being drained off than usual Another feature of the flood was the rapidity with which it came down, ooming in about six days. In former freshets it took the main body of water ten to twelve days to reach Savannah. ANXIETY FOR TH* CROPS. There is. of course, some damage to the rice field banks on Back river at and around Screven’s Ferry by washouts and a few banks breaking, but the greatest concern is whether tbe crop which was planted in early March is damaged so much that it will have be plowed up and replanted, in which case there will be a considerable set back to the early crop. About 1,000 acres were planted in February and March, which would have been up aud ready for water the second time. This is more than likely put back ten days. Pis uteri have been delayed by the scar city of labor to get the bauks back in good condition and tbe breaks repaired. If tbe rice underground is rotted by tbe water staying on so long tbe ground will have to be cultivated over again. The earlier the rice is put under ground the better the quality of the grain. A CHANO* TO MAKE UP. There is, however, some chance of mak ing up for the lost time that may be occasioned by reason of reDlaDting, with favorable weather through the balance of tbe season, but there is considerable risk, as the whole crop is liable to ripen at one time. There is always a scarcity of labor In the fall, and when labor cannot be got and the rice be gins to fall off it entails a heavy loss on tbe plan’ers. The loss, in case the rice has rotted, which is not known yet, will be about 2)4 to 3 bushels of seel rice to the acre planted and the labor in planting. If the weatner is unfavorable during the season there will be no early rice, but a la;e crop, whioh will also be liable to damage by barresti g time from the equinoctial gales. There are some who claim that the new rice will be put back very little if it has not rotted in the ground, and the water dries up in time for it to catch the present tides. If not the planters will be put back. The greater part of the rice lands had been plowed and putin condition for planting and a small percentage was planted as a Dossi ble benefit. Of course, the freshet water does not help the rice, hut the tide water does, and the belief of some is that it tbo freshet water does not remain too long the land will be benefited by tbe deposit left on the land, and even if the planters lost the present tides en irely it will not prevent early-rice, and It will probably be only about ten days later than the usual time, which is about the last of August. It will, however, interfere somewhat with the J une planting, which does not mature until about the middle of November or frost weather. Asa rule few planters plant heavily when the moon fills for fear of cold weather and high tides. They will have now to wait for the next spring tides to allow the present rice under ground to sprout, providing it is not rotted, which cannot be told yet. If the crop is put back or deiayed, as it was at first believed, it will give the Louis iana planters a great advantage over this market, as they usually come in a month or six weeks ahead with new rice, but they have encountered tbe same trouble by reason of tbe flood, and it is very probable that the set-back to them is more serious than it is to planters on the Atlantic coast. BRUNSWICK ODD FEuLOWS. They will Organize an Encampment This Week. Brunswick Is organizing an encampment of Odd Fellows. There are two subordinate lodges there with a membership of nearly 120.
