.. Outsider’s Impressions of tho City
“ and Its Future.
Albert Phenis of the Manufacturers'
vinrd, who was recently here, has an in
. rating full page article in the last issue
. ’ he Kecord on Savannah. The leading
0 t of the letter is concerning the deep
f ter moV ement and its importance to the
irt He then takes up Savannah’s commerce
nd trade, and the wonderful development of
““prises and the advance of reui estate.
el \, r Pbenis points to the fact that Savan
-1 people believe in Savannah. In closing
jitter he says the people know what their
h!.autiful and important city is, and what
his going to he. And it certainly does itn
ress even the most casual observer. There
Is nothing cheap or mean or shoddy in the
srint of the place. It is palpably a high
toned community. Here is a hotel, the De
sJoto which would add luster to even New
York’s fame, the Telfair academy is a true
art school, aud the historical library is a
credit to the state. There are surprises and
delights in the parks and squares and
monuments, and there are great public
buildings in imposing array; there are so
cieties and institutions as old as the repu b
lie and there are local traditions and the
spirit of memories leading back through
every important political, military and
even spiritual experience of the nation to
fhedavs of Gov. Oglethorpe, John and
Charles Wesley and Geo. Whitefleld. Sa
vannah has entertained many of the most
distinguished men of the post century and
a half, and has given enthusiastic welcome
M numerous Presidents, from Washington
to Cleveland.
“With a permanency and a proud record
to build on, with every advantage in the
way of rail and water transportation, with
the whole region tributary to her on an
era of remarkable material development,
who can wonder because Savannah men
have the broadest faith in the possibilities
of their city, or that the merchants and
commercial representatives of the city are
striving with their utmost might to secure
whatever is adjudged to be* of tremendous
advantage and permanent benefit m any
material way?”
THE FIRST OF THE SEASON.
The Theater to Open WittC“McCarthy’s
Mishaps” Tuesday Night.
The theatrical season will open Tuesday
night with "McCarthy’s Mishaps,” the same
attraction which oper.oi last season, and
which was one of the best farcical plays of
the season. The sale of seats will begin to
morrow morning.
Tho manner in which the play was re
ceived last year will, without doubt, insure
a big audio ,oe this year. Of the skit it
may be said that as a mirth-provoker it
meets all the requirements. From begin
ning to end it is one continuous round of
merriment, having very little plot; still
wbat is lacking in plot is made up by the
fun in the dialogue, amusing incidents and
laughable complications, with the special
ties, which are. inter woven with the farcical
situations. A number of novel features
have been added, while those that have
proved so entertaining heretofore are re
tained. Prominent in the cast are: Harney
Ferguson, Charles Gorman, George A.
Crump, Ed Begley, Daniel Keating, James
Callahan, G. S. Gates, Marguerite Fergu
son, Gertrude Forte, Carrie Behr, Annie
Irish, and the Sisters DeWltt.
"One of the 400."
Friday night and Saturday matinee
Bobby Gaylor will appear in “Sport McAl
lister, One of the 400.” Gaylor is a Simon
pure Irish comedian. The piece is a farci
cal satire on New York society. Gaylor as
“McAllister” receives the nomination for
the office of sheriff of N6W York from the
Democratic party, and at once proceeds to
canvass for votes la opposition to
Dennis McUinty, the Republican can
didate for the office. The latter
is game, however, and shows fight. The
electioneering tricks resorted to by both
sides in order to secure the popular vote are
where the fun comes in. “Sport” calls a meet
ing of bis followers, and his rival, who lives
opposite to him, calls an opposition rally.
“Sport’s” son writes up a speech for his
father to deliver from the balcony on the
night of the meeting, and, whiio prompting
his father on that occasion, he transfers
the manuscript to his dudish step-brother,
“Percy,” who gives the old man a protection
speech instead of the proper line. A volley
of bricks and other missiles is the result of
tr.e mistake, and “Percy” is sent off in dis
grace,. The gallant “Sport’ ’is not|daunted by
tho accideut, however, and invites the
bosses of the foreign vote to a grand ban
quet, where, by his clover diplomacy, ho
becomes master cf the situation. In the
last act, where an amateur theatrical per
formance is givou . n the stage of the New
York Lyceum i heater, the publio is lot into
a fow stage secrets.

MARSHAL MYERS DEAD.
The Victim of the Lynched Negro
Allen Die3 in Guyton.
A Guyton special to the Mousing News
announced the death yesterday morning of
Marshal E. J. Myers, who was shot a week
ago Saturday by William Allen, the negro
who was lynched at Guyton Tuesday night.
All hope of Marshal Myers’ recov
ery was abandoned Thursday after
Drs. Boyd, Lamar ani Lawrence performed
an Operation and found that tho rifle ball
had shattered the spinal cord. The dead
officer was a native of South Carolina and
33 years old. He leaves a wife and one
child, besides his mother, two brothers aud
four sisters. Marshal Myers was a member
of the Baptist Church of Guytou and was
highly respected by the citizens of that
town. His remains were sent to his old
Carolina home last night for burial.
THE LIQUOR DEALERS’ PURPOSE.
They Propose to Bee That the Laws
Are Obeyed.
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 5, 1891.— Editor
Moriiing News: In a spirit of fair play I
earnestly request you to correct the im
pression made by your article in to-day’s
issue of your paper, headed “Liquor Men
Up in Arms,”
The meeting to which you refer is intended
for liquor dealers and members of their
association only, and is for the purpose of
instructing them fully in the laws govern
ing their business, in order that thore may
be no violation of them, intentional or
otherwise, and to acquaint them with the
nature of the recent legislation.
I also desire to say to you that we take no
exception whatever to the course of Mayor
McDonough in enforcing the law; but, on
the contrary, we give him full credit for
living up to the promise made by him in his
inaugural address, and as long as I have a
voice in tho management of their affairs
I shall use every endeavor to secure a com
pliance with the law with every member.
We cannot acquiesce in the methods and
character of some of the evidence upon
which several recent fines have been in
flicted, yet we are not prepared to lay the
blame for this to his honor the mayor, and
we firmly believe that in a sense of justice
he will see to it that in future such occur
rences will not be repeated.
George Meyer,
President Liquor Dealers’ Association.
RAIL AND CROS3TIS.
The Central road has jus t purchased
eight new locomotives to be used for pull
ing passenger trains.
In 1890 the railroads of the country hauled
701,000,000 tons of freight, or 1,402,000,000,-
000 pounds. This immensity is almost post
conception. There is probably no sufficient
horse-power in the world —that is living
flosh-and-blood horse power —to have
moved this stupendous weight the millions of
miles ,it was carried.
The jurisdiction of Trainmaster W. J.
McKee of the Central railroad has been ex
tended over the Savannah yards, reoentlv
under the jurisdiction of the Savannah
agent. The jurisdiction of the yards is
transferred to the transportation depart
ment, where it properly belongs, to facili
tate the handling of cars.
If the Dakota railroad commissioners en
force their rule for daylight inspection of
grain, it is said it will greatly delay the
movement of cars, hampering the farmers
as well as the railroads, as it will require at
least twelve hours, and delay fully 50 per
cent, of the ears, besides filling yards aud
side-tracks with empty ears.
Prominent railroad officials say that the
orops this year are heavy enough to keep
the roads busy for the next two years, even
if the crops of 1892 should be light. Added
i to this are tho large earnings whion the
roads will derive from the Columbian exposi
tion. The outlook for the roads is more
promising than at any other period in the
past ten years.
The Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer says of
the “Short Cut:” Tho work of grading the
“Short Cut” portion of the Atlantic Coast
Line between here and Rowland will be
completed this week, so say the contractors.
Tuesday morning the masonry for the iron
bridge over Big and Little Rockfish and
Lumber river was begun, all of which will
be pushed vigorously to completion. About
one hundred tearloads of crossties and fifty
cars of steel rails, spikes, etc., are standing
on the side tracks here, ready tor distribu
tion along the line, which are to be followed
l>y additional supplies, as the work pro
gresses.
The largest eleotric locomotivo ever con
structed is said to be the one now being used
by the Lonsdale Company at its extensive
cotton mills in Lonsdale, R. I. It consists
of a platform car and trucks tiaving a 30-
horso power motor, with a trolley stand at
one end, and at each end eontroling tie
vices, s > that the locomotive may be moved
both forward and backward. The locomo
tive is capable of hauling 00,000 pounds,
and goods may ais > be placed on tho plat
form of tho locomotive itself. The length
of the track over which the macliiue runs
is 2,700 feot, the trolley wire being sus
pended somo sixteen or eighteen feet above
the rails, and attached either to poles or to
tho adjacent buildings. Electricity is sup
plied from a 500-volt dynamo having a
capacity of 30,000 volts, and this is operated
by a water wheel. This renders the cost of
operation very inexpensive, while a largo
amount of time and energy is saved in
shipping goods from one part of the e3tab
ment to anotbor.
The facts connected with the resignation
of D. H. Moffatt as president of the Denver
and Rio Grande road are beginning to come
to the surface. London reports state that
when tho recent dividend on preferred stock
was passed English shareholders at once
conoluded their interests had been neglected,
and they appointed a committee of experts
to investigate the action of the board of
directors. When that committee handed in
its findings some weeks ago another meet
ing of the shareholders was held,
and, in view of revelations alleged
to havo been made, resolutions were
passed censuring the management and
pledging those present to tho disposal
at the next nnnur.l election of the men now
in charge of the road. As tne English
shareholders are a powerful factor ill tho
direction of the company’s affairs,the right
ing in this matter of thoir fancied wrongs
would be easy of accomplishment. Tho
Chicago Jour.ial says: “Hearing through a
friend of this move, Mr. Moffatt, who is
worth 810,039,000, and got along without
the Rio Grande road, simply told the Eng
lishmen to take tho road and run it, ami
sent in bis resignation. He was not the kind
of a man to wait for and suffer the bun ii a
tion of being forced out or give any one a
chance to injure him by tM“ publication of
alleged charges.”
CITY BREVITIES.
The funeral of J. H. Reid Stewart will
take place at 3:30 o’clock this afternoon
from the family residence, No. 68 South
Broad street.
Some little excitement was created in the
market basement yesterday about 2 o’clock
by a large crowd of negro hucksters and
loungers gathering around a constable from
Liberty county who had a Savannah negro
arrested, charged with cheating and swind
ling. Tne negro claimed that he could
prove an alibi. The policeman on duty in
the market dispersed the crowd, and the
constable carried his prisoner off without
trouble.

THE MAUD DAMAGED BY FIRE.
The Vessel Partly Burned While
Moored at Her Wharf.
The tug Maud was damaged by fire
while moored at Paulsen’s wharf yesterday
morning.
The fire broke out a few minutes after 5
o’clock. It was discovered by Charles
Jenkins, a deck hand, who was sleeping iu
the pilot bouse. Jenkins was
awakened by the smoke, and he
rushed out on deck. The afterhouse was
theu in a blaze. The tug Jacob Poulseu
was coming down the river from the Ocean
steamship slip and steamed alongside tho
Maud and soon bad a stream on the fire. It
was well under control when the fire de
partment arrived, and with the united
efforts of the tug’s crew and firemen it was
soon extinguished.
The origin of tbe fire ii unaccountable.
The vessel was tied up at the dock at 6
o’clock Friday night and no lamps were lit
on board, on account of her getting into the
dock early.
The whole of the after bouse and pilot
house is burned and charred. The fire could
not have started from the galley, as there
ore no signs of fire there, and it was not
damagfd. It evidently started from the
smokestack. Tbe hull of the vessel is all
right, and only the tophamper and part of
the machinery are damaged. Tbe loss will
approximate $1,200, and is covered bv In
surance in tbe Liverpool, London and Globe
Insurance Company.

The Rain Spoils What Would Have
Been a Lively Day.
Sheepshead Bay, N. Y., Sept. s.—The

AT LATONTA.
Cincinnati, 0., Sept. s.—The race track
at Latonia to-day was a continuous bed of
yellow stioky mud. The non-favorites won
iu the first and last races and the prime
favorites won in tbe other four. Close
finishes distinguished the fourth and sixth
races. At the close of the fourth race the

with hisses. Following is a summary:

axtei.l’s valuation.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. s.—The tax
commissioners have raised Axtell’s valua
tion to $15,000. The chairman of the State
Tax Commission says tho assertion that Ax
tell had cost $105,000 was untrue; that the
price paid was $50,000. This, and the fact
that the famous raoer had recently a touch
of lameness, influenced the commission to
tax his owner for only $15,000.
CHATTANOOGA'S NE W RATS.
The City Secures Rebilllng Privileges
on Flour and Grain.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 5.—A great
sensation was caused here to-day among
the (lour mills and graiu dealers by tho an
nouncement that beginning on Monday tho
“milling in transit” rate wid be granted
Chattanooga over various railroad-.. This
opens to this city the trade of a large area
of country. It makes a reduction of 50 per
cent, in tho existing rate on flour
from this city to Atlanta. One
mill in this city sold I,OUO barrels of
flour iu Atlanta to-day on the new rate.
The new rate is generally known as the re
tailing privilege. It will cause a saving to
the merchants of this city of fully SIOO,OOO
annually. The privilege was secured by
reason of the fund of SIOO,OOO raised in this
city during the past few days to establish
bout lines on the Tennessee river.

CONDUCTORS DIfIJfIARGEP.
Tbs Western and Atlantic Summarily
Dismisses Three Employes.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. Sc—There is apt to
be some trouble in railroad circlos about
the summary discharge of three veteran
passenger conductors on the Western and
Atlantic railroad. The three men are Ish
Dunn, Taylor Terrell aft-1 .AH Worley. The
two first were bounoea Unceremoniously
and completely. Worlejti- who has bean
running a passenger train fer a cumber of
years, was given his choice, it is understood,
between going back to the freight ears acid
leaving altogether. r ">
cause of th discharge.
The superintendent is but of town and ftv
his absence the only explanation from head*,
quarters is that the >uw were “i'arehet.jfi
tneir duty.” The meictjjeaiselves can give
no explanation. They were throe of the
oldest and most popular men on the road,
and people generally a tt interested in t hair
case. „ai mu. lad;
Tbe grievanco conumttoe of the Urder of.
Railway Conductors ynfUook into the mat
ter, and trouble is altrioSt certain to follow.
Conductor R. Dint Hargis is another
4V estern and Atlantic victim. His discharge
was as peremptory aud unexpected as the
other three.
It is stated here to-night that Conductor
Mays, who has been running the Rome ex
press for quite awhile past, has also been
discharged, But the other four are certain.
probable cause ok the discharge.
The probable truth of the situation is that
the new lessees intended running through
from Nashville to Atlanta, so that only one
conductor will be needed on some of the
trains between these points, whereas, here
tofore, one has run from Nashville to Chat
tanooga and another from Chattanooga to
Atlanta. This leaves the road with several
conductors to be dispensed with, and the
preference is naturally given tho conductors
at the other end, being the longest in the
employe of the Nashville, Chattauooga and
St. Louis railroad.
THE CONDUCTORS TRANSFERRED.
Soon after the lease the Nashville, Chatta
nooga and St. Louis oondnotors were put on
the Western and Atlantic road, the West
ern and Atlantic conductors being trans
ferred to the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis road. It wasi explained mat this
was to familiarize the theu with all part* of
the road. The inforrooition acquirdddn this
way comes iu handily now for th* Nash

A STRANGE DROWNING.
The Lake at Ponce d.e Leon the Scene
of Another Accident.-
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. s.—Two people met
death on the lake at Ponce de Leon about
8:30 or 9 o’clock to-night. One was Jeff D.
Stuart, the engineer at Jack’s bokery, and
formerly a member of the Atlanta
police force. The other was Mrs.
Jane Kennedy, a boarding-house
koeper. Tbe best account to be
had to-night is incomplete and rather mys
terious. The two went opt with a younger
couple. The trio was taken at Stuart’s in
vitation. He Induced the other mau, Henry
Gregoleit, to go by offering to pay all the
expenses. He had been contemplating the
trip all day and made sotCO arrangements
this morning for it.
THEY START ON Tlffi TRIP.
The two couples reached the lake just
after 8 o’clock and went out in two boats.
Stuart was drinking. The night was
unusually dark and nothing could be seen
upon the water five feet away. The boats
soon parted company. Ten minutes, or
even less, after they went out they wore
thirty or forty yards apart. Stuart was
heard talking, and Gregoleit thinks be was
rooking the boat .Jo frighten
the woman. Mrs. ‘ Kennedy was
laughing and’expostulating with Stuart.
After a minute or two of comparative
Suiet the woman screamed, “Henry I Henry
Iregoleit! Come, save me! ’ She was oven
then strangling. There appears to have
been no extraordinary outpry just at the
moment she fell in the wntr, und this, in
conjunction with other cirumnstauces,makes
THE CASE A SUSPICIOUS ONE.
It will be noted that she did uot call her
escort, but her appeal for help was to a
young boy in the other heat. Just after
the screaming voung Gregoleit reached the
boat, which was.bottom upward. Nothing
was sesn of Stuart or Mrs. Kennedy, except
that Stuart's straw hat was Homing upon
tho water only a few feet trom the
boat. Gregoleit paddled to the shore,
and after giving tua alarm
at the lake he cams on to town with the
young lady he had escorted out. Several
bruits were put out with drags and two or
three people dived. The water was deathly
cold and the divers soon had to leave it.
Stuart was a married man with a family.
Mrs. Kennedy, it is understood, was a
grass widow. She has two children living.
Stuart at one time hud I warded her.
Up to midnight neither of tbe bodies had
been recovered.
