THIRTY-SIX MEN GO OUT.
MACHINISTS QUIT WOSK AT THE
CENTRAL SHOPS.
A Quarrel Between a Maohinlst and
a Negro and Master Mechanic Antz'a
■Refusal to Discharge the Latter the
Cause of the Strike—The strikers’
Claims-The Matter in the Hands of
the American Mach'nists’ Associa
tion.
Thirty-six machinists in the Central rail
road shops went out at 5 o’clock yesterday
afternoon pending the settlement of a dif
ference between them and Master Machin
ist Oscar Antz.
The trouble, according to the machin
ists, began Monday in a quarrel be
tween a negro employe in the motif* de
partment and a machinist named Wagner,
who was working on an engine in the
roundhouse. The negro placed a
freight car door in front of
the machine on which Wagner was
working. Wagner remonstrated and re
quested its removal. The negro refused to
move it.
Wagner threw the door down. The
negro set it up again, until finally it got to
a test between the negro and Wagner
whether the door should stay up or down.
The negro, being the stronger of the two,
came out ahead.
REPORTED TO THE OFFICIALS.
Wagner went to Assistant Master Ma
chinist W. O. Chariton and then to Master
Machinist Antz, but, according to the
machinists, got no satisfacUou. He finally
went to Assistant Superintendent of Motive
Power Gibbs, who said he would take the
matter under consideration and
would give bis decision at 9
o’clock yesterday morning, whioh he
failed to do. Several of the men w ent again
to Mr. Antz, who told them that he would
investigate the matter himself and would
confer with them at 3 o’clock in the after
noon, at which hour the men again waited
on him. Mr. Autz’s reply was not satisfac
tory. He finally told them he could give
them no positive information, and asked
them if they were on a strike. He was told
they were not.
REFUSED TO WORK.
He then sent to the machine shops and
directed Machinist John Circoply to go
into the rouudhouse and take the men’s
places. The men refused to go to work
until the matter between Wagner and the
negro was settled. Upon Circoply’s
refusal to go to the roundhouse he was
discharged.
The machinists demanded his reinstate
ment, which was refused, and they quit
work. The matter is now in the hands of
the American Association of Machinists.
THE RAILROAD'S SIDE.
Supts. Mcßee and Starr and Assistant
Superintendent of Motive Power Ebbs are
out of the city, and Master Machinist Antz
could not be seen last night. Wbat tbe
outcome of the trouble will be remains to
be seen. An effort at adjustment will be
made to-day, in the hope that the
men may be Induced to resume work.
They say, however, they will stay out until
the differences between Maohinlst Wagner
and the officials are settled. The machinists’
association is a powerful organization and
if the men are sustained in the strike they
will fight it out.
EFFINGHAM’S HUSSARS
To Celebrate the Fourth With a Big
Reunion.
The Effingham uussars, under command
of Capt. A. M. Morgan, wUI celebrate tbe
Fourth of July in great style at Spring
field. The Fourth has been one of tbe days
on which the Hussars for a generation back
have always met and paraded and had their
friends participate with them. This year
the compauy proposes to celebrate the day
on a more extensive scale.
The committee on invitations consists of
Lieut. G. H. Berry, L. B. Smith, and L. E.
Dasher, who propose to have the confeder
ate veterans of Effingham county meet with
the troop. The intend to wrlte every man
who ever belonged to the company to join
it on that day if the addresses of the mem
bers can be obtained. As there are ex
members of Effingham troop in Savannah
and vicinity Capt. Morgan hopes every one
will attend.
The company, for the first time since the
war, is making efforts to have present in
reunion every living member and ex
member.
Maj. Peter YV. Meldrim of Savannah will
address tbe troop on the occasion.
MELONS BEGINNING TO MOVE.
About Fifty Carloads a Day Being
Shipped Now.
The watermelons have begun to move In
considerable quantities. The Savannah,
Florida and Western railway is handling
•bout fifty oars a day. whioh chiefly go
north by rail. A few thousand have been
shipped north by the steamships, but the
shipments in that way are not well under
way yet
The crop is about ten days later this year
than last The prospects for a large crop
are just as good now as they were a few
weeks ago, and with the large acreage the
melons will soon be moving by the
thousands of oarloads. Local shipments of
Georgia melons to Savannah have ben
very small.
Assistant Superintendent A. A. Aveilhe
of the Savannah, Florida and Western has
taken up bis headquarters at Thomas
ville, where he will remain during tho
watermelon seaion, and will superintend
the handling of what will undoubtedly be
the biggest crop of melons ever known in
the business.

COLD LBADFOR4. BURGLAR.
M. 8. Baker Gives a Thief a Lively
Reception.
A bold attempt at burglary was made at
the residence of Marcus 8. Baker, No. 175
Waldburg street, yesterday morning about
2 o’clock.
Mrs. Baker heard someone creeping on
the root and woke her husband. He
got bis pistol, and, following the
direction of the noise, saw through
a glass door the figure of a man
outside the bathroom moving toward
the piazza. He had been in a stooping
position, and as he raised himself upright,
Mr. Baker leaned out of the bathroom
window and fired at him. The ball seemed
to take effect, for, with a groan, the would
be burglar dropped over on the piazza.
Another shot fired just as tie landed
seemed to hit him also, for he jumped to
the ground, a distance of twenty feet, and
sounded across the yard. Mr. Baker
gave him two parting shots just
os he disappetred around the corner of the
yard. Mr. Baker says he was not able to
get a good look at the robber, but be thicks
he was a negro. He is confident that two
of the pistol shots took effect.
This is the third attempt at burglary
that has been made at Mr. Baker’s resi
dence within a week, and that gentle
man believes that they were made
by the same party. On each
of the other occasions the thieves were
frightened off before a robbery was accom
plished.
The case has been placed in the hands of a
detective.
RUV.MR. ROGAN AT WBBTMINSTER
His Baccalaureate Sermon at Windsor
College.
Rev. J.W. Rogan of Baltimore, formerly
pastor of the First Presbyterian ohurch of
this city, preached the baccalaureate ser
mon at new Windsor College, Westminster,
Md., last week, Sunday. The Westminster
Advocate says of it:
The discourse was the production of a
master, and the congregation gave the
preacher the most attentive hearing. Your
reporter heard very many words of com
mendation as the people passed out of the
church, and many regrets expressed that the
whole pubUo could not have heard it. His
subject was—“ The idea! manhood and how
to realize it.” His text was taken from
Ephesians lv,. IS, “Unto a perfect man, unto
the measure of the stature of the fullu ess of
Christ.” The following points were elabor
ated, enforced, and illustrated in an admir
able manner:
1. One of the requisites of an ideal man is
knowledge.
2. The perfect man is one who is possessed
of and has most cultivated tbe religious fae
ulties of faith and conscience.
3. The ideal man it one of great love.
4. While 1 might mention a number of
other elements, I would sum it all up by
saying tbe most perfect man or woman is
the one who, as the text suggests, takes
Jesus Christ as the model and most closely
resembles him —"Unto a perfect man, unto
the measure of the stature of the f ulluess of
Christ."
STRANGE THINGS THEY SEE.
The People In the Southern Section
Open Their Eyea at a Meteor.
A number of people in the oity, especially
in the southern portion, witnessed the flight
of a meteor last night about 10:30 o’clock.
The meteor appeared to be about the size
of tho moon or an electric light globe, and
when first seen was in mid-sky passing
northward, describing an aro of about 20
degree*. Its color appeared to change from
green to red and then white, and it gave a
hissing sound in its passage.
Tbe moon was shining brightly and the
electric lights were also burning, so there
was no possibility of the parties being mis
taken. It was seen by the firemen at No.
4 engine house ou Barnard street, who de
scribed its appearance as like that of an
immense Roman candle ball. It appeared
to fall at a short distance northward, seem
ingly somewhere on the South Carolina
side.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY’, JUNE 18, 1891.
THE NSW WATER WORKS.
The City Council to Discuss the Water
Question Next Monday.
It had been agreed by the city oouncil, at
the request of tbs water committee, in view
of tiie recent discussion of other plans for
securing an increased supply of water
sufficient to meet the city’s
demands, that a meeting of the connoil
should be held yesterday afternoon to dis
tbe various plana proposed, at whioh Capt.
Whitesides, Bupt. Manning, W. R. Curtis
and Consulting Engineer Johnston of
Chicago should be present and submit their
views. It was intended that the meeting
should take the form of a public interview,
at which Capt. Whitesides should outline
his plans and give estimates as to the sup
ply of water which would be secured by
carrying out his plans, the cost of securing
it and the oost of maintaining such work.
POSTPONED UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
On account of the absence in the north of
Chairman W. G. Cann of the water com
mittee, by his request the meeting was post
poned until Monday afternoon, when he can
be present.
The subject of new water works, or the
improvement of the present water system,
will then be given a thorough examination,
tbe desire of the council being that it
should be fully informed upon
the matter before proceeding further
toward new water works, and that the
public also should have the benefit of the
information through tbe medium of the
newspapers.
The chief question before the meeting
will be, not the location of the
new water works site, which has already
caused considerable agitation in council
but whether the present system of wells
can be so improved as to supply all the
water needed at present by the city or
whioh will be needed in the immediate
future, or whether it is necessary that a
new and larger system of water works be
constructed eufilcient to fully supply the
present needs of the city and also the future
demand.
CAPT. WHITESIDES’ PLANS.
Capt. Whitesides proposes two plans of
increasing the water supply. One is to in
crease the flow from the preseut wells by
outting off tbe pipes several feet beneath
the ground, thus giving greater force to the
hydraulic pressure. This experiment has
been successfully tried in Memphis and
other places. The other plau is
to erect a pumping! station at
the Springfield well, oonneotiug
with the present, water works, from whioh
be estimates an increased flow would be ob
tained of about 2,500,000 gallons daily.
The water committee is thoroughly com
mitted to the plan of anew water works,
or rather it is thoroughly oonvipcvd
of the necessity of anew sys
tem. It has thoroughly investigated the
question of water supply, having consulted
with engineers ana. informed itself in
every way possible on the subject. It does
not deny that either one of Capt. White
sides’ plans, if carried out, might increase
the water supply to the amount which he
estimates it would, but the members do not
believe if this were accomplished the water
supply would be equal to the demand.
OBJECTIONS TO THE PLAN PROPOSED.
To the first plan of cutting down tbe
wells at the present works numerous ob
jections are made. The plan Is regarded os
too experimental, without giving a proba
ble estimate of the increase and without
any means of satisfactorily determining the
oost of the work. If an increased supply
should be obtained It would be
almost useless, because the present main
leading to the olty is only 24 inches in di
ameter, and is inoapable of furnish
ing a supply equal to the demand,
aud the machinery at the present
works was constructed for a smaller
supply, tbe engine being only
a 5,000,000 galloa engine, though
it is now pumping 6,000,000 gallons. The
question then conies up, Wbat would the
city do for water while the wells are being
out down? It would be necessary to cut
them off totally from the city for some
time, and the olty would be left without
water. These are a few of the objections to
the pian.
THE PUMPING STATION.
The objections to tbe second plan of
locating a pumping station at the Spring
field well are that it would give the city
two pumping stations with a double salary
list and a double bill for fuel, and would
also involve tbe building of a main from
that well to conueot with the system. It is
estimated that tbe added expenses
of salaries and fuel for this sta
tion would be greater than the inter
est on half tbe cost of the
whole new water works plant. These, how
ever, are only minor objections on the part
of the water oompany. Its position is that
tbe improvements or schemes for increasing
the water supply are only temporary and
will simply defer the time when it will
be imperatively necessary to erect anew
water works. The time has already 00me
when an increased water supply is neces
sary. Tbo present supply, as is well kuown,
is entirely inadequate to the demand even
for domestic purposes, aud allows nothing
for a large fire or other contingency, ana
leaves no water to carry into effect the pro
posed systems of house drainage and sauita
ation.
6,000,000 GALLONS A DAY.
The preseut supply is not over 6,000,000
gallons. To supply all the water needed
for domestic aud commercial uses, provide
for house drainage and sanitation and allow
a reserve for a large fire or other emer
gency it is estimated that fully twice
the present supply is needed. The
desire of tbe committee is to
put up a permanent system of
water works sufficient to supply all pres
ent needs an and capable of supplying all the
water needed for a city of 105,000 inhabit
ants. It desires to make the improvements
of such a permanent character that it will
not be necessary to bring up the subject of
water supply again in many years. The
present waterworks plant was only put
in about ten year* ago, and yet to
day is entirely inadequate
to the demand. It proposes to put in a sys
tem of wells with such machinery as will
supply 15,000,000 gallons of water per day
if needed, and which can be extended
when desired. They would put
in two engines at the works,
with a capacity of 10,000,000 gallons each,
one of which would be in regular use and
the other to be called into service in case of
a fire or whenever needed. There would
be a 42-iuch main leading to the city. This
would have thirteen times the capacity
of the present 24-inch main. The conduit
connecting the well would also ba extended
to the river, so that in case of any emer
gency the river water could be turned in.
The whole cost in round numbers of such
a system of water works is placed at about
$350,000, including mains and conduit.
This includes the oost of the whole system,
a large part of which it would not be neces
sary to expend immediately. Thp commit
tee believe that now is tbe opportune time
for this work, while the'city has tbe money
in hand for it.
A full array of facts and figures on both
sides will be presented at tbe consideration
of the question Mobday afternoon.

IN FAR OFF CHINALAND.
MISSIONARY DUBOS* TALKS OF
CHINA AND ITS PEOPLE.
The Work tbe Missionaries Ara Doing
There—Facts About the Great Em
pire of Confucius—A Wonderful
Country and Its Wonderful Inhabi
tants.
Four hundred people assembled in the
First Presbyterian church last night to hear
Rev. Wayland C. Dußose, a Chinese mis
sionary, lecture. A short introductory was
made by tbe pastor. Dr. Dußose spoke as
follows:
The prophet Isaiah referred to China as
the “Land of Siam,” and said that
from that country the Lord will gather
glorious seed. Bin was the anoieut name of
China and Sinlm is tbe plural of the word.
The longevity among the Chinese is
peculiarly noticeable,and may be attributed
to the quiet and peaceful character of their
lives. Hemmed in on one side by the moun
tains and on the other by the ocean, they
are secure from invasion and free from war
fare and strife.
No police are ever seen on the streets of
Chinese cities. China is without doubt
the most idolatrous country that has
ever existed, yet the remarakule filial piety
and obedience observed among the people
commands the highest respect of Christians,
which is worthy of emulation. On the
first day of the year the merchant can burn
all his aocount books and lose nothing, for
all debts are paid promptly before that
time.
Literature is the glory of the nation. The
cyclopedia fills 6,000 volumes. Men rise to
office by the civil service examinations,
which are prefectural for A. 8., provincial
for A. M., and national for LL. D.
A FARMING COUNTRY.
Great attention is given to agriculture.
Land is divided into many millions of little
farms of from one to four acres. Not an
acre is given to pasturage. The products
are wheat, millet, rioe. cotton, sugar, etc.;
fruits are various and abundant. It is a
land of flowers, and its mineral wealth is
inexhaustible. Coal fields cover twenty
times an area of tbe entire coal fields of
Europe. Iron is abundant, also gold, silver
and copper.
Every little farm or ha inlet Las about
five huudred living on its products. Their
civilization differs from ours, but it is no
less a high state of civilization. The gov
ernment is the product of the genius of
their own statesmen, their literature is not
borrowed from any other nation, and all
their ambitions have sprung up on their
own soil.
The first day of the agricultural season
the emperor goes out in the field
and plows a furrow for the
purpose of giving encouragement to the
husbandmen. They have the same variety
of climate and the same agricultural pro
ductions found between New York and
Florida.
A CAREER OF PROSPERITY.
The country is about entering upon a
career of unexampled prosperity, and the
revolution of the twentieth century Id
China will be the moet important epoch in
tbe world’s history. The young emperor
has just ascended the throne, and, should
he favor a liberal policy, the progress of tbe
country may be very rapid. Forty years
ago there were sixty Protestant missiona
ries in China. Now there are about 1,400
or 1,500. There are now about 40,000 cora
muuioante iu the churches. There are 100
missionary physicians, who all open hos
pitals and have scores themselves of pa
tients.
Of the 40,000 communicants 14,000 are in
the Presbyterian church. The converts all
stand fast aud firm and cannot bo seduced
from their faith and its obligations and re
quirements. Lying and swearing are great
characteristics of the Chinese people, and
from a moral standpoint they are
sadly depraved. The merchants reside
in the seaport towns, but are not allowed
to trade in the interior. A clause in our
treaty permits the missionaries to go to
any part of the kingdom, and the govern
ment gives them every protection possible.
NO CHURCH SQUABBLES.
There is no friction between tbe different
church denominations, and all work to
gether harmoniously. The harvest is ripen
ing, the field is immense, and more laborers
are badly needed.
Dr. Dußose returns to South Caro
lina this morning. He has been en
gaged in missionary work in China
for twenty years, and is in the United States
now for the double purpose of securing
much needed rest and at the same time en
listing the sympathy of our people in the
foreign missionary work. Dr. Dußose will
remain in this oountry about three months
longer, and will then return to China and
enter into his work with renewed energy
and zeal.
AT TH a COURTS.
The Superior Court Taking Up the
Criminal Docket.
Little was done in the city court yester
day, the cases set for trial having been
postponed until this morning.
In the superior oourt George R. Hohen
stein was tried for shooting at Har
rington Baker (colored) with intent
to kill, and was found guilty,
but was recommended to the mercy
of the oourt. Judge Falligant sentenced
him to pay the costs of proseoution and a
fine of $250, or to undergo twelve months’
imprisonment. Saussy & Saussy were the
defendant’s counsel.
Robert Green (colored) was found guilty
of stabbiDg Enoch Bowen, also colored.
The sent-nce was SIUO or twelve months
on the chain-gang.
Mack Register icolored), charged with
mayhem, was acquitted. On Dec. 9 last
Register had a fight with Joseph Green
(Colored), and during the scrimmage bit off
a large piece of his left ear. The jury de
cided that the evidence did not show it was
done with malice aforethought, and ac
cordingly returned a verdict of "not
guilty.’’ YVm. Pease appeared as counsel
for the defendant.

RUDYABD KIPLING’S BOYHOOD.
How the Popular Young Writer Ac
quired the Yorkshire Dialect.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
The Rev. W. J. Dawson, writing upon
Rudyard Kipling, rejoices in the discovery
that Mr. Kipling’s “grandparents on both
sides were YVesleyan ministers.” “Rud
yard’s father," continues Mr. Dawson, “is a
man of great ability, who held an impor
tant position as art director in India,
and, of course, this explains the
son's perfect knowledge of the tech
nicalities of art. Years ago he was
an artist in Pinder, Bourne &
Co.’s, now Doulton’s, works at Burslem.
Near Burslem is a pretty village named
Rudyard, of which the Kipliugs were very
fond, and from this circumstance that
Rudyard Kipling received his first name.
Mr. Kipling, Br., is at present decorating a
ceiling for the queen at Windsor, and has
in preparation a book dealing with tbe pict
uresque life of India. Among bis gifts is
mimicry, and those who have heard him tell
a Yorkshire story have been amazed at his
perfect mastery of the dialeot. Here, then,
is a further explanation of that extraordi
nary mastery of dialect displayed in the
stories of the son.
"From childhood,” oontinues Mr. Daw
son, ‘ 'he has beard the dialect of the dales,
and Learoyd owes something to the father
as well as the son. It would be interesting
to say more on this theme, but perhaps
scarcely expedient. One story, ’Ba, Ba,
Black Sheep,’ impressed me as singularly
powerful, and I asked my informant
whether the picture it gave of the child
sent home from India to the frigid home of
‘Aunt Rosy’ was not from the life.
The reply was that it was a per
fect bit of Rudyard Kipling’s
own biography. This desolation of
childhood was his. Another story dealing
with the life of the Yorkshire dales, which
apoeared in Macmillan's, amazed York
shlrernen by tho truth of its coloring, es
pecially ns it was stated that its author had
never resided in Yorkshire. *Wa know now
that as a boy he spent some time in York
shire, and in his father’s reminiscences he
would have a perpetual fund of material
for similar sketchos. When the time comes
for a fuller statement’the public will prob
ably be surprised to find how strong is the
personal and autobiographical element in
all-Rudyard Kipling’s works.
AT THE LAST SALE
There Were Fifty Lots Sold.
About two years ago there was a sale of
lots at Furber’s Point. There was a free ex
cursion, free collation, free music, free
everything.
There were abojit fifty lots sold. Many
of these have pleasant houses upon them,
which have proven happy homes to the
owners. The point to be emphasized, how
ever, is that not more than three of these
lots will have to be resold by reason of the
arrearages of the purchasers. This shows
how Tybee property is regarded, and the
sale this afternoon will doubtless furuish
another proof of its popularity.— Ad.

WHAT IS NEEDED AT TYBEE.
A Popular Want.
“I want to go where I can do as I please.”
That is what a tired wife said a few days
ago. She did not want to go to a hotel to
dress for each meal, and be pleasant to lots
of folks whom she cared not frr. But she
wanted a little “cottage by the soa” built on
one of Furber’s lota, where she could wear a
“mother hubbard” wheu she pleased, and
there would be “naught to molest or make
her afraid."
These lots, at $lO oash will be sold this
