Newspaper Page Text8 MACHINISTS TO GO BACK. ALL OF THEM BUT WAONEB TO BBSUME WORK THIS MORNING. The Differences Between the 6hop Hands and Master Machinist Antz Amicably Settled—Circopely Ac knowledges His Error and Is Rein stated— Wagner Refused Reinstate ment—No Further Trouble Antici pated. Tbe men at the Central railroad shops will resume work this morning. There will be no strike. A committee from the machinists was in conference with Master Maohinist Antz the greater part of yesterday, and after some concessions on both sides an agreement was reached in tbe afternoon. Tbe men were willing to return to work, but demauded as a pre requisite that Wagner and Circopely, the two men discharged by tbe master maohinist at the beginning of the trouble, bo reinstated. Mr. Antz was wil ling to allow the men to return to work in a body, with the exception of Wagner and Circopely, whom he refused to reinstate. All of the machinists were discharged by the master machinist after they quit work at the shops. WAGNKB CANNOT GO BAC*. Mr. Antz explained to tbe men that Wagner had entered his offloe and oursed and abused him because of Ills action in the trouble with the negro, and in oonsequenoe he could not reinstate him. The men reoognized this faot and agreed not to insist on Wagner’s reinstatement. Mr. Ante agreed to allow Circopely to return to work on condition that be apolo gize for his refusal to do the work which he had been called upon to do. Circopely acknowledged that it was his duty to obey the order, but he thought uuder the olroum* stances he oould not have done otherwise. Mr. Antz assured the men that he would see to it hereafter that the negroes employed tp the shops behave themselves and treat the white men with proper respect. AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT. The men assured Mr. Antz on their part that hereafter complaints would be brought to him direct for investigation before they took action upon them. The men will go to work this morning and things will run along smoothly. It to safe to say that this agitation will have a good effect upon the conduct of the employes of the shops. It is justice to Mr. Antz to say that the matter of his favorit lsmto tbe colored employee wss considerably exaggerated by the men, as they testify that he has had very little communication with either white or oolored employes, beyond issuing his orders from the office, tbe en forcement of the orders being left with tbe foreman. A Morning News reporter who took a walk through the shops yesterday after noon found the big machinal standing idle and things unusually quiet for that busy spot. It will be a scene of activity to-day, however. ONLY tWO-SYLLABLS NAMEa Short Words Used in Christening South Bound Stations. Tbe two heretofore unnamed stations on the South Bound between this city and Gra ham's, S. C., have been named respectively “Gifford” and “Carlisle," the first after a planter who owns the land at the station and the latter after the senator from Ken tucky. There are to be no words of more than two syllables used in naming stations on tbe South Bound. Passengers will therefore not have as much difficulty in “oatching on” to names of stations as Is usually the case on other roads, and trainmen will De able to economize their lungs and save their breath. The draw span of the iron bridge across tbe Savannah river is up. All the piers for the bridge have been finished except one, and that has been delayed by an obstructiou in tbe shape of tbe trunk of a large tree which was found many feet below tbe bed of the river. The railroad company has forty flat cars and an order is no w out for 200 freight cars. This will make a first-class equipment to begin with. The work on the trestle on the east side of the Bavannah river is going ahead w ith much greater rapidity than wa anticipated. The piles are all driven and the cap pieces are being put on. TO WBLCOMB THE SOLDIBR3. The Stay-at-Homes to Meat tfce Oblck amaugans on Their Return. A joint meeting of the stay-at-home mem bers of the Cadets, Irish Jasper Greens, Re publican Blues and German Volunteers was held in the armory last night for the pur pose of making arrangements for the recep tion of their comrades of the First regiment on their return from Chickaraauga. The Oglethorpee had|no representative present, hut sent word that tba.y would 00-operate in any programme decided on by the meet ing. ‘ It was stated before the meeting that the same train that carries the Guards to the enoampment on Monday next will bring book the First regiment This will put them in Savannah some time Wednesday, probably early in the morning, but tbe ex act time of their arrival cannot be accu rately stated until Monday. It was decided that the major and adju tant, together with the five company com manding offioers, should meet at the armory Monday night for the purpose of perfecting arrangements. The plan suggested was that detachments of each company, headed by the regimental band, should meet the troops at the depot anfieeoort them to the armory, where a OoUation will be spread THE CHALLENGE OOP RACE. YacbtemeD Looking Forward to It With imereßt. A meeting of the Savannah Yaobt Club was held at Hull & Lathrop’e office yester ay at noon. Tbe committee in charge of the interstate challenge cup raoe submitted a set of rules to govern the race, which were adopted. The Charleston club has not yet acted on this matter. The club will have its annual cruise in July, which wiM last one week. It will start from Bavannah Juiv 4 for Beaufort, where it .will meet tbe Charleston club on July 7or 8. The race for the interstate cup will take place between Charleston and Bavannah. A fine raoe is expected. Charleston will enter four or five yachts, and Bavannah will enter four and perhaps more. The challenge cup is anew feature with tho yaoht clubs, and will be raced for for the first time at Beaufort. Each club puts up (100 to buy tbe oup. WEDDED IN MACON. A Savannah Commercial Traveler lakes unto Himself a Bride. Mr. M. S. Harrison of this city and Miss Mary Berthe.oi of New Orleans were mar ried at tbe Bfown house in Macon Wednes day night. The ceremony was performed by tbe Rev. W. B. Jennings of Macon. The attendants were Messrs. C. H. Will, iams of Cincinnati, W. F. Byron of New York, A. T. Cherry of Savannah and R. D. Apple of New Orleans. Mr. Harrison and bis bride are now at the groom’s home in Hinesville, Liberty county. Mr. Harrison is a traveling sales man for Lovell & Lattlmore, and Is a popu •ar young gentleman. An miserable sufferers with dyspepsia are • ure4b Simmon- Liter Regulator. A NEW PUBLIC? ROAD. The Extension of Styles Avenue from the Louisville Road south. The city council is preparing to open Styles avenue on the west of the city from the Louisville road south of the city limits. This would make the southern terminus of tbe avenue right in front of Maj. Kyals farm and only about 300 yards from the Ogeechee road. Maj. Ryals is anxious that tbe oouuty authorities should take the matter in band and complete tbe extension of the avenue to i the Ogeeohee road. To stop the road at the city limits would leave it right in the midst of a swamp and would greatly lessen its value to the pubiio. If oontinued to tbe Ogeechee road it would furnish a much shorter route to people coming into tbe city on that road to the Ocean steamship wharves. The Ogeeohee road it used by the people coming in from Bryan county ana from the e tern section of this county, espe cially tbe truck farmers. The route from tbe Ogeechee {road around through the city to the Ocean steamship wharves is a very round about and circuitous one through heavy streets. Maj. Ryals’ idea is that Styles avenue should be com pleted in as nearly a direct Hue as possible from the Ogeechee road north to the wharves. It might not be practica ble to extend the avenue north from the Louisville road through the Central rail road property, but it would not be a very diffloult matter to make the oonnection of 800 or 41)0 yards at tbe southern end with the I igeechee road. Styles avenue is an old road which lias been closed for twenty-five years or more, and Maj. Ryals says that in the original plat of the city it extended through to the Ogeechee road, and that tbe road is stiU public property all the way through. Maj. Ryals is of the opinion that the com pletion of Styles avenue will be as great value to the city as tbe extension of Bay street, and that with proper improvements it will become an avenue worthy of the name. THB FRUITS W3 BAT. How They are Coming In and the Trices They Ssll at. The peach orop in Georgia this year, as previously stated, has been almost an en tire failure. Tbe consignments received here this week have been very light, most of the fruit received coming from Florida though some little has been received from Mclntyre, Ga. Tbe oondition of the fruit is excellent, however, and tbe dealers find a ready sale for it at $5 a bushel. The apple crop will also be rather short. The fruit coming la, though of in ferior quality, is retailing at |1 50 a bushel. Cautaleupes are beginning to appear in the market. Most of tbe shipments received in the past few days were from Gainesville. Tbs crop is said to be quite a large one, and the consignments indicate that It will be superior in quality. The fruit Is re'ailiug at from 10 oeuts to 25 cents. The first consignment of grapes came in yesterday, and cases oontainiug about twenty pounds sold readily at #8 75. A few remarkably flno Wild gooes plums are being received by the dealers and are selling at from $3 60 to $4 a bushel. Melons are ooming in rapidly. Tbe local crop of tomatoes is very large, and as a consequence the Florida shipments yesterday morning did not bring enough to pay freight. Good cabbage is in demand and is bring ing a good price. THE WAY THEY SAW IT Many Places Laying Claim to Tues day Night's Meteor. The appearsnoe of tbe meteor described in the Morning News this week has ex oited star-gazers all over the country. Savannablans thought it landed some where across the river la South Carolina. A Bartow (Ga.) man writes to the Morning News as follows: “No, sir, Mr. Editor, that big meteor that was seen by Savannah peo ple Tuesday night did not faU just over in bouth Carolina, as your people thought. Our people about Bartow seem to think it fell somewhere about here, as it looked that way; but we have not located it vet. It was as big as a barrel, and seemed to oome almost perpendicularly down,” In Macon the meteor created quite a sen sation. It seemed there to go from south to northeast and remain stationary in mid heavens for several seconds. Another ob serve# said that it was the most brilliant and wonderful meteor ever seen, and de scribee it as resembling a oomet with a fiery tail about two yards long. It shot up from the southern part of the sky, and, reaching the full bight of its course, remained thero while the observer could count ten, then fell gracefully toward the north. HAD IT IN FOR HIM. A Revengeful Plonloker Waylays a Committeeman With a Bar or Iron. WiUiam Drake (ealored) was oue of the party that went out to the oolored First Baptist church picnic at Montgomery last week. He refused to pay .his fare on the cars, and William Jenks, one of the Sunday school committee, talked to him pretty sharply and threatened to have him put off the car. The matter was dropped for a time, but on the return trip Drake waylaid Jenks at the oorner of Henry and Whitaker streets and struck him several blows with a heavy piece of Iron, inflicting ugly bruises. Drake evaded arrest until yesterday morning, when Deteotlve Welherhorn caught sight of him at Broughton and Jef ferson streets. The negro started on a run down Broughton, but was captured after a lively chase near West Broad street and was taken before Magistrate Naughtln, who ordered his commitment to jail. Drake is the party who assaulted Justice Reynolds lest year. Mrs. Mary Done'an Dead. Mrs. Mary Donelan, wife of Peter Done lan, died at 10 o’clock yesterday morning after a long illness.

The following is the programme for the evening: Eesay, W. deßroyn Kbps. Recitation, J. Lee Archer. Reading, R. C. Wright. The question open for discussion is: Whzhsas, We believe by recent action of the United ytates of America in refusing admit tance to several hundred emigrants to be un- American and not In accordance with the views of the American people and the constitution, which declares "all men to be created equal, ” and. Whereas, We believe such action to bn det rimental to tbe growth of the United Brutes of America, ami deserves tbe severest criticism, therefore, be it Reaotved, That this society criticises most severely the recent action of the Unite! States of America in this matter, and bs it further Resolved, That this society tenders to tbe President of the United States a vote of censure for his action, and be it Retolved further.

The Mutual Dramatlo Association mur dered “Julius Caesar” at the theater again last night. The performa-.oe, though per haps more meritorious, was not so largely attended as tbe previous oue. The lower part of tbe theater had been reserved for white people. About 200 attended. The colored people must have taken offense at this distinction by a colored dramatic troupe, as tbe galleries were very thinly populated. Perhaps they did not appreciate the last exceedingly classical performance of the celebrated play by the association sufficiently to desire to see it again. Borne of tbe acting was well done, espe cially that of R. N. Rutledge as "Brutus,” and Florida Desverney as "Portia” aud "Calphurnia,” who reoeived frequent applause, but tbe audience came not to bury Caesar, but to guy him, and it was on tbe watch for every slip. When the noble "Brutus” ordered his serv ing boy to bring in the "ea-Un-der” that he might learn the date, the audience ap plauded uproariously, but when Miller Gib son, as the lean and hungry “Cassius," forgot he was no longer within the familiar preolncts of the De Soto barber shop, and addressed the assembled conspirators as "gentlemens,” the applause shook the roof. The actors prooeeded with the play with undisturbed equanimity, however, and allowed the aud ience to have all tbe fuu it wanted to. George M. Brown played “Mark Antony" in good shape as did Miller Gibson “Cas sius." BB HAS TWO WIVES. William Campbell Committed to Jail for Bigamy. William Campbell, alias W. C. Haines (colored), was committed to jail on a charge of bigamy yesterday by Justioe Waring Russell, Jr. About a year ago Campbell married Georgians Campbell, a crippled womap, in Effingham county. Shortly aft erward he deserted her and came to Savan nah. June 10 he married Rhena Mitchell in this city. A oolored preachor, Ruv. Charles Vanderpool, performed the cere mony. Campbell’s Effingham wife heard of his seoond marriage a day or two ago. She came to the city yesterday morning and swore out a warrant against her recreant husband for bigamy, and be was arrested ana jailed to await the action of the grand jury, which met yesterday afternoon and indioted him. OITT BREVITIES. Ahorse and a wagon belonging to Henry Chaney, colored,were stolen troru the viotu- Ity of the Savannah, Florida and Western depot yesterday afternoon about 6 o’clock. Policeman O’Hara was dismissed from the police foroe yesterday by Mayor McDouough for sleeping in the market while on duty, and absenting himself for three days with out permission. George Moore, a oolored carpenter, fell from a scaffolding at Wall’s saw-mill, on East Broad street, yesterday and badly lacerated his left arm. His injuries were dressed by Druggist W. C. Sweat. St. Matthew’s mission church has ex tended a call to Rev. Mr. Curtis of the Maryland diocese. While the matter of securing a rector is pending the regular Sunday morning services will be held as usual in the church. Yesterday was somewhat cooler than the several preceding days, the maximum reaching 86*. A heavy shower in the after noon aided considerably In cooling the tern perature. Showers and warmer weather are forecasted for to-day. An incipient fire occurred in Addie Pierce’s house on South Broad street, corner Houston, in an upper room, fronting South Broad street, between 2 and 3 o’clock yes terday morning. A policeman who was pasting saw the window our tain in flames, and, awakening the inma>tes, he rushed up into the room. The fire was soon extin guished, but how it ignited is a mystery. H. O. Carmichael, the Young Men’s Christian Association physical director, is still in Atlanta at the bedside of his young brother, wbosedeath is momeptarlly expect ed.

People who go to Tybee ftor a day’s pleas ure don’t like to have tbeir pleasure spoiled by being compelled to rida from the island to the eltv without a seat. In the 10:36 train from Tybee last night there were only three cars, and there were enough passen gers to comfortably fill four cars. A large number of people had to stand up all the way home, and they were net in very good humor. Bering that the accommodations were limited the effort to get into the cars, in order to seoure a seat, waa so great that there was danger of women and children being injured. If travel to Tybee is to be euoouraged would it not be a good thing to look a little more closely after the oomfort of those who patronize the railroad! William Price, Luttaville, Mb., writes: "I was afflicted with sciatica aud had lost the use of one arm and one leg foe nine years.

Secretary Haas of the Seaboard Company says that the Middie Georgia and Atlantic is meeting with great encouragement from the people living along the line. They are subscribing liberally to stock and offering donations of land l or rights of way. Mr. Haas thinks if the people of Savannah were as enthusiastic over the building of the road as those outside of the oity are tbe en tire road would be completed and in opera tion by January, 1893. If Savannahians don’t encourage the enter prise liberally, money will ba secured else where. The promoters of tbe road Intend to build It at all ovents. and plenty of oapltal can be secured for the project. The road is expected to prove of vast benefit to Bavan nah. AT TH® COUBTB.

The Crop This Year Expected to Bea Million Bushels. The South Csrolins rice crop this year Is estimated at 1,000,000 bushels. The Charles ton News and Courier says the estimate is considered a fair one by rioe men, although many dealors are in hopas that in the end the corrected flgnres will prove to be much higher than this. In some sections the recent favorable weather conditions have raised the hopes of the planters very muotl, and mauy of them expect to realize in a manner that they scarcely dared to hope for a month ago. June rice has been planted later this year than probably ever before in the George town sections, but the planters expect to reap a fair harvest in spire of the unfortu nate conditions which existed early In the soring. The opinion of Charleston dealers is that the figures above are about as aocurate os could be reached. Of course much depends on the weather In September and October. If heavy rains oome at about the time of the harvest the loss may be very groat. Considerable loss was experienced by this last year. BAIL AND CROBSTIBS. Judge D. M.

Baltimore, June 14.—Any collector de siring a good statue of Gov. Hicks, the war governor of Maryland, can be accommo dated here, A number of estimable gentle men of this city, known collectively as tne German Lincoln Republican Club, have on baud a Hicks statue in fairly good repair, and they don’t know what to do with it. Some 25 years ago two German citizens of Baltimore were discussing tho war. One of them was M. Becker, who ran a German paper. The other was J. Host, who ran a fine brewery. They sat in the cool beer garden attached to the brewery. Mr. Becker was drinking some of Mr. Rost’s beer, and Mr. Rost was reading a oopy of Mr. Becker's paper. Mr. Becker had writ ten a glowing account of Gov. Hicks’ ser vices in keeping Maryland among the loyal states, and this so impressed tne brewer that in a burst of enthusiasm he ex claimed, "That man ought to nave a monu ment." Then a moment later he said: "He shall have one if it costa me $1,000.” Gov. Hicks got a monument, for Mr. Rost, as good as his word, expended SI,OOO for a fairly good bronze bust. He set up the statue in bis beer garden. It proved a Jonah, nowever, for Rost’s patrons cordially detested the memory of Gov. Hi oks, and business fell off. By and by Mr. Rost was compelled to sell his gar den. The new owner made him pull up the statue. By this time Mr. Rost’s entuusiasm for the war governor’s bust bad died out. Ho asked his friends of tha local Bchuetzen Verein, whose park was oppodte bis garden, for permission to set up the statue the re temporarily. To oblige him they consented, and so one fine day Mr. Rost loaded his Gov. Hicks on one of bis brewery wagons, hauled him over to the Bchuetzen park, and set him up. Mr. Rost’s Idea of “temporary" was In definite, aud soon the German Schuetzeu began to complain of the bated s atuo. Mr. Roet declined to take several 9trong hints, bat one day, on the ocoasiou of the annual Bchuetzenfest, sombody put somethin into the big cannon that fired the salute, and that something bit the statue, knockiug it off its pedestal, aud cracked its head. Mr. Rost thought it woi time to take the statue away, so the next day he loaded bis statue on one of bis brewery wagons again aud brought hack home, and dumped it in the back yard of the brewery, aud there for years the bronze Gov. Hioks lay in ignoble oblivion, surrounded by beer kegs nnd cast off rubbish. Mr. Rost died one day, and everybody forgot all about bis statue. Less lucky than the governor, Mr. Rost got oniy a very modest tombstone. About a week ago someone ran across the dilapidated Mr. Hicks in the old brew ery yard. It looked as a bust might look which had been lying over twenty years among beer barrels and rubbish. It was washed up, somebody contributed a coat of paint, the local German newspaper printed a paragraph about the ounous find, and then some of Rost’s old friends remembered that this must be Gov. Hicks’ statue. For some reasons which none of the other Germans in the city oan understand the Llnooln German Republican Club came to to the statue’s aid. They determined to set it up somew here, and selected the pretty papk in Broad way. just in front of the Johns Hopkins hospital. A programme was arranged, ana one day they drove over to the spot, bringing the statue along in a wagon. They were about to erect it, and made appropriate speeches, when an unfeeling policeman intervened and explained that it was against the lew to set up statues of gentlemen, how ever well deserving of such testimonials Hejadded that it would take an ordinance passed by both branches of the oity council and signed bv the mayor. But the city council has adjourned, and Mayor Davidson has intimated very plainly that he doesn’t think the statue should be set up again. Meanwhile the gentlemen of the Lincoln German Republican Clnb are wondering what on earth to do with the statue of the war governor of Maryland. ATTACKED BY HIS HOBBB. A Doctor Eas a Terrible Battle With a Mad Animal. From the New York World. Little Roc*. Ark., June 15.—Dr. John Clarke of Waldo, well known throughout the state, had a terrible adventure last evening with a horse which unquestionably hod hydrophobia Dr. Clarke bad ridden tha animal to visit a patient and was hitch ing it to a tree when the horse sprang on him, knocking him down. The doctor suc ceeded in getting np and behind the tree, but the horse chased him around, and assistance arrived as the deeter was about exhausted. The horse was lassoed and shot. Dr. Clarke was badly hurt. FIFIEiN CHINES3 BEHEADED. One Brawny Executioner Does the W ork and a Big Crowd Looks On, From the New York stm. San Francisco, Jure 14.— The China steamer which arrived last night brought details of the beheading of fifteen Chinese at Kowoloon, opposite Hong Kong. Among the victims were three leaders of the pirates who looted the steamer Namoa five months ago, killed the captain and mate and secured $30,000 in coin and goods. A great crowd witnessed the spectacle, wkicn was made {more repulsive by the cynical jesting of the chief pirate. All the prisoners had their hands tied be hind them. The chief executioner and two assistants thrust their keen swords into the sand and amused themselves chaffing the police. The pirates were among the first lot of prison ers who arrived, and a howl of execration from the crowd greeted their appearance. "You,” said the chief executioner, laying his baud on the shoulder of a tall, thin man, with keen, piercing eyes. "Wo’U begin with you." “All right,” responded the pirate leader, “ I’m number one." He had been swearing In English and Chinese, one of the Chinese officers said, ou the way to the execution ground. He was placed at one end of a square, and all the others kuelt iu line with him. A few seoonds sufficed to put them in order, and then the slaugh.er began. Lai Atsat, the pirate leader, kept looking around at the executioner, while that worthy exam ined his sword and, while he held his long, thin neck outstretched, he continues to speak as if ha wished the spectator to know that he was not afraid. "You may kill mo now,” he said, “but I’ll revive again.” "Now, don’t move,” said the executioner, as he he pulled tbe pirate’s pigtail out of the way of the sword. The kne 'ling man said something about everybody having his own luok, and as he said it the sword came down and he was no more. jbe others, most, miserable looking wretches, shuddered and gave one unwill ing look around. They had not long to wait, for the brawny executioner was’ get ting through his work with great celerity, prefacing each stroke with the warning, “Don’t move,” aud accompanying eaoh blow with a vigorous utterance of a Chi nese expression, which might be rendered into English as “Done for.” When he came to the pirate who had planned the expedition to seize the steamer he saw this fellow bad lost his nerve. He swore roughly at him, but the victim was so nervous that bis head moved. The heavy sword fell on the shoulders, and the head did not roll off. His legs moved convulsively until the executioner, after chopping off the heads of the others, re turned and dispatched him. The whole bloody work only occupied a few minutes. Ph itogr.iphs taken of the scone show tho poor devils just before the execution and then afterward, each head lying beside the ghastly bleeding trunk. 1A 25 Per Gent. Dividend.
