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

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.

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

of America in this matter, and bs it further

Shakespeare's Personification Suffers
Another Attempt at Murder.
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."

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

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

RICH! IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
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.

A MUCH-A BUSSED EFFIGY.
Tha Curious History of a Statue of
Maryland’s War Governor.
From the New York Sun.
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.
