Green, Traffic Manager Sol Haas and General Passenger Agent J. L Taylor Of the Ri'timoaJ eui D tuvilla: Supt. V. Me Bee, General Freight Agent (*. A. White head and Assistant General Passenger Agent T H. Hardwick of the Central rail* road, Traffic M. iager C. D. Owens aud General Freight Agent F. B. Papy of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, and President H. M. Comer and General Freight and Passenger Agent J. F. Babbitt of the South Bound. The railroad men discussed topics of in terest generally, but gave out n -thing new iu the nay of reco.it developments. Toe Richmond and J)a ivdle officials were sub jected to a good dual of sharpatiooting Tipciu the part of their iriendt on account of the reported scoop of the Fast Tennessee, of the Richmond and Danville system, but thev deolared they were not on the inside of anv such deni if there was one and their questioners would have to go to the newspapers for their information. The Richmond and Danville oill ial9 returned to Atlanta in their private car last night. A TRIP ON THE RIVER. Yesterday morning, in company with Bupt. Mcßee of the Central railroad, they took a trip along the river fro .t in tl-o Bavaunah Light age aud Transfer Compan ies tugboat Regis. Bupt. A. F. Dewey of the ligntage and trausfer company was in charge of the Regia and entertained tue par y ou board. Avery careful inspection of the Ocean Steamsh-p Company's wharves w3 made and the trip was continued along the entire river front to the Savannah, F.orida and Western railway wharves. General Man agar Green expressed himself last night pleased with the appearance of things on the river. He commented on the large number of steamships and other vessels lu port as an especially pleasing feature. The real object of the trip along the river was to get a proper idea of the wharf improvement which will be necessary to accommodate the increasing business of the Richmond and Danville at this port. The probabilities are that the grea er portion of the river front and the land of the Central between the present wharves and the Yale Royal nulls will lie built up with wharves, warehouses and sheds. General Manager Green, in speaking of the increasing trade of the Central, prediots that the present year’s business will not be a marker to tuat of next year. The people of Savannah, wuo got excited when the offices were removed to Atlanta and thought the city would i-e greatly injured in consequence, will be agreeably sur prised at tbs amount of business which will be thrown through the port,said Mr. Green. WAITED TO SKB WHAT WAS NEEDED. *'\Ve didn’t foal liko makiug any Improve ments in our terminal facilities here," he said, "until we had enough experience to know what we wanted. Now we have that experience with the tremendously increasing business, and next season the facilities will lie arranged accordingly. People could tell us what we wanted, but the Richmond and Danville goes on the business principle of finding out suoh things for itself." The improvements, he said, will begin in the latter part of the spring just as so >u us there is a let-up of business, and by the opening of the next cotton season the Cen tral wharves and warehouses will be the largest thiug of ils kind In the south. Gen eral Manager Green feels satisfied that the steamship fleot will have to be added to next year. Thafuture of Savanuah is as sured’, and the Richmond and Danville, he said, will be found furthering it at overt opportunity. He believes that congress can not do otherwise thati giant the appropria tion asked for deep water in view of the strong influence wuich is being brought to bear. TO LAY MORS TRACK 6. Street Railway Extensions to Bogin 1. ext Week. The ordinance preventing the upturning of toil in the ci:v limits will be suspended Nov. 1, and street railroad improvements •will begin at once. The Belt Line will con. tinue the Barnard street line aroutid tbe south sid6 of Bay street with a double track as far as Whitaker, where a connection will be made with tbe Belt traok on the north side of the street and the cars will run on the main line as far as the cotton exchange, oust east of Drayton street a spur track will be laid north of the main liue, ou which the Bar- ard street cars u ill be run so as uot to interfere with tbe regular schedule. The work of bending the rails for the extension will begin to-day, aud Nov. 1 the la; ing of ©possties and track will start. After completing the Barnard street branch, the Belt Line will finish its double tracking, which will le from Bay and Lin coln streets to East Broad aud Liberty, aud from West Broad sad Bay streets along West Broad to Liberty. The Electrio Rail way Company will also begin tbe completion of its belt after Nov. 1. The Frice itreat line will be continued to Duffy street, to Cemetery, to Roberts, to West Broad, along which it will run to tvouth Broad, where a connection will be made. The South Broad street lme will be continued west down William street to Farm and t'- the Ocean steamship wharves, aud east to the Tybee depot. The Electric company has reoeived two more cars from the Brill company. The road will no doubt pay handsomely after the belt is com pleted. TO INVITE THE PRESIDENT.

Acting in that spirit of con servatism which has always been its policy, it has to-day only about twenty-five chap ters located in the leading colleges and uni versities of the country, and most of these chapters have been planted twenty or more years, giving tie fraternity a deep root and high standing wherever it is located. At the coming convention John D. Adams, the present grand alpha, of Cor nell University, will preside. The delegates will be welcomed to Atlanta by Judge A. E. Calhoun. Ou the night of the assembling of the convention a complimentary recep tion will be tendered the fraternity, and the following night tne annual Chi Phi banquet will be held at tue Kimball housj, when the convention oration will be delivered by R.

Robert Reed, the colored boy who was slabbed by James Mclntosh Saturday night, and was found early yesterday morning on the Thunderbolt road near the Cathedral cemetery, is in a dangerous condition at the Georgia Infirmary. The wounds in his side anl abdomen are deep, and be suitors mire from thorn than the others. He is quite weak from the loss of blood, as ho lay on the Thunderbolt road for three hours before being discovered. According to Reed’s story the attack by Mclntosh was premeditated and unpro voked. They were both employes of the City and Suburban stables on Randolph street, and there had been bad blood be tween thorn for sometime. Saturday night Reed quit work before Mclntosh did, and wont to a grocery store barroom on Wheaton street and began drinking pre paratory to going to bis home in East Savannah. When be came out of the bar he met Mclntosh and several other boys from the stables. They asked Reed to treat, but he said he didn’t have enough mouey, and started away. Mclntosh followed and called him a liar, and said if he didn't treat he would whip bitu. Heed was just druuk enough to feel like fighting aud he invited Mclntosh to wade in. Toe invitation was accepted, and. drawing a knife, Mclntosh commenced oarving Reed. The latter pulled a razor ausl tried to defend himself, but finding that he was getting the worst of it he dropped tho weapon aud ran. He claims that Mclntosh followed him nearly to tho toll gate. Reed managed to walk as far as the Cathe dra! cemetery, when he dropped from weak ness. Mclntosh has not yet teen captured. Reed said he behoves be is going to die from tho effects of this wound, but if he should possi bly rao .ver he intends to kill Mclntosh for cutting him. AT THE THEATER. Cleveland's Minstrels to Start the Week's Liet of Attractions. Cleveland’s minstrels to-night will start the week at tho theater. Mr. Cleveland has almost entirely anew compauy this year. He promisee, uot newness alone, but novelty and merit as well.

A pretty feature of the olio will be John Quean's latest production, “The Modern Beau Brummel’s.’’ A novoi street parade, “The Outing of the Swells,” Is aaotmr muoU-udvertised feature. ‘A Breezy Time.” The sale of seats for “A Breezy Time” to morrow night will begin this morning. The play will be seen for the first time iu Sa vannah. It is said to be one of the brightest entertainments, something of the “Bunch of Keys” order, that has reoently been pro duced. It has no plot to speak of. An old farmer from Vermont goes to Boston in search of a scapegrace nephew and a wild young lady at a seminars-. He finds them and has a lively time in the first act. The second and third acts are ou the homestead at Vermont. City folks, and tramps, and odd characters apnear and make the scenes still livelier. WARMER ALL OVER. A General Rise in Temperature Throughout tbe Country. Yesterday was a warm day. The mini mum temperature was 54“ and the maxi mum 81”, the mean temperature being 3* above tbe normal. This is the highest tem perature recorded siuce Oct. 6, when it reached 84’. Fair weather prevailed throughout tho country generally. Not a trace of rainfall was reported yesterday from any of tbe regular weather bureau stations, or at anv of the substations in tbe cotton belt.

THINGS TALKED ABOUT. The political campaigns in New York and Ohio are creating lots of interest among Sa vannahians, and interest is increasing as the closing of the campaigns draws near. The possible remits of both elections are the general topic of conversation at tbe clubs, hotels and other places of resort throughout the city. The interest is, eom perativly speaking, ns great as in a presi dential contest, because it seems to be tbe tacit understanding all around that the re sults in New York and Ohio this year will have a tremendous effect on tbe next presi dential election. The greater attention is being paid to Ohio, because it is thought that ’Tammany is powerful enough to carry New York. The move ments of Campbell and McKinley are being watched closely, and the daily newspaper accounts are read with as much interest as if the fight was a home one. Bets are being made on all sides, and lots of money will change hands tbe day af ter election. The odds here were ou McKinley at the opsning of the campaign, but now bets are ev n, and some enthusiastic democrats have offered to give odds on Campbell. Tue governor's great cootideaoe about his re eleotion is making McKinley’s backers feel a little shaky, but still they point to his great raoe for o ingress last year in tbe gerrymandered district as an evldenoe of tbe popular hold he has upon the people of Ohio. The saloons are making arrange ments for the posting of bulletins electi n night, and no doubt they will have large audiences, and at the same time turn many a penny. AVhen Bull street has been paved, which will tie in a couple of months, riavaunan will have tbe most picturesque street in the country. Tbe paving, the preliminary work for which is now in progress, will be gin next week. and will be completed by Now Years The paving will be extended from Harris street to Forsyth park os soon as it has been finished to Liberty street The pres ent paving ordinance provides for paving only from Bay to Congress streets an i fr >m State to Liberty. A majority of the city oouncii is in favor of continuing the pave- ment to the park, aud an ordinance to that effect will ba introduced as aeon as the present contract is under way. When Bull street has been paved tbe city will consider tile repaving of Dray ion or vVhltaktr streets, either with sheet asphalt or asphalt blocks. Alderman Harmon is in favor of the bloc.- pave ment for tnese streets. Tbe Hall s.reet shell pavement has been finished and Bolton street is now being paved. As soon aj that has been finished the shelling of Jones street will begin, and than Jefferson street, which will be shelled from Cbarlto.i street, the present terminus of tbe Belgian block pavement, south to Ileury street. Next year Alderman Har mon wants to pave Price street with gray wacko from Bay to Anderson and West Broad street from Liberty to Anderson. Savannah horsemen, like horseman every where cleo, are all talking about Suuol’s wonderful record of 2 08% in Btocyton, CaL Horsemen generally look upon Maud S.’a record of 3.08 ou a Circular irack as a greater achievement than that of Bunol which was on a kite shaped track. The kito-shaned track stands a giod chance to be generally adopted, but it is not fair to call Bunol the quean of the turf until she goes over tho circular course in less than the time of Maud S. Tho advantage of having one turn instead of two is so ap parent that tbe matter needs no explana tion . Snnol will be tried on tho regular track before leaving Btockton. in this connection tbe raoing season of 1691 may be put down as tho most successsful ever known iu America. Four owners won more than $500,000 between them: J. A & A. H. Mor ris. $144,000; David Gideon, $142,000; F. C. McLewee, $105,000, and M. F. Dwyer, $140,000, while six other owners received checks aggregating $325,000, boing an aver age of overss4,ooo each, ami t-vo of these referred to, Mr. Fulsiler and L. Stuart & Cos., have but comparatively small stables. David Gideon’s great colt. His Highness, was the largest individual winner, with $107,285 to his credit. Members of labor organizations iu Savan nah will be interested to know that the Uth annual convention of tho American Federa tion of Labor will be held in Birmingham Deo. 14. Tho representation in the conven tion will be upon tbe following busi-: Inter national aid national unions wrh lasi than 4,000 members, one delegate; for 4,00 J mem bers or more, two delegates: for 8,090 r em bers or more, throe delegates; for 1(5,003 members or more, four delegates; for 32,000 members or more, five delegates, and so on. Local trade or federal labor unions, state federations, central labor unions, trades assemblies or trades councils, one delegate each. All organizations to be entitled to representation must have a certificate of alHiliation (charter) at least thirty days be fore the date upon which tho convention is about to be heid. Any delegate represent ing a unioD must be a member of the union, and if not a craftsman of the trades union which sends him, the union mutt give the reason why suoh delegate vvu- chosen. A Savannah druggist had to return a physician’s prescriotion the other day be cause he couldn’t read it. This calls to mind that a law has recently been promul gated in Austria requiring ai! medical pre scriptions be clearly and le-lbly written, so that there can be no doubt aa to the medi cine ordered, tho amount to be taken, the directions for tbe patient and the nrescrib-. era name. Nothing is more esseui ial than legible writing in prescriptions, and to the average person there are few things more difficult to interpret than a physician’s pre scription, as it is ordinarily written. Along with the effort made by tbe recent legisla ture to prohibit druggists from drinking, It might be well to require phvsioians to writs their prescriptions legibly.’ The vexed question of “hats on” or “bats off” during worship, has recently been settled by a Hebrew congregation in Oleve land, 0., by au overwhelming majority vote in favor of worshiping with uncovered heads. The old custom of the male mem bers of the Hebrew faith wearing their hats during public worship is giving wav iu many congregations. The Savannah con gregations ndhore rigidly to the estab lished prnotice, although many orthodox Hebrews do not consider the wearing of hats during worship essential. In obedi ence to tbe rule, however, which is insisted ou both iu the Mickva Israel and the other synagogues, bats are universally worn. The Savannah Choral Society has be come one of the institutions of Savannah. The results of its work were seen in the con cert given at tho Close of las*, season, which was one of the be t musical entertainer!ts ever given in Havunnah by local talent. The society is for tbe mutual benefit of singers. Its second meeting of tbe present soasuu will lie held at the reside ioe of Dr. F. W. Rich, at Jones and I.lno iln streets. Last season’s members, those who were present last week und persons wistdug to become members are cordially iuvited to attend. “What hoe become of the Oglethorpe monument schemer' asked n citizen yester day. “(Savannah owes more to Ogle:h rpe than to any <>r the heroes to whose memory monuments have been erect“d. and a nobler ■nan never lived.

LOOKING AFTER JACK. TEN THOUSAND BAILORS VISIT SAVANNAH ANNUALLY. Dr. W. C. Stitt of the American Bea man's Friend Society In the City to Urge the Establishment of a Sailors’ Home Here What the Society is Doing for the Sailors—Dr. Btitt’s Andress Before the Port Bociety. Rev. Dr. W. C. Stitt of New York ad dressed the sailors at the Fort Society’s rooms last night. Dr. Stitt is secretary of the American Seaman’s Friend Society of New York, ami is editor of its publications, the Seaman's Friend, the Life Boat and the Sailors' Magazine, all of which have a large circulation. Dr. Stitt gave a Morniko News reporter an interesting talk on the work of the Seaman’s Friend Society yesterday. The society is sixty-three years old and its work is very exten sive, embracing all the principal polls of tnis country ami a large number of foreign girls, including ports in ludia, Japan and outh America. There are fifteen borne stations and fifteen foreign stations, all under the caro of the American Seaman’s Society of New York. The Savannah Fort Society is connected with the seaman’s society, and receives an annual appropria tion for the purp sa of maintaining a ebapel bare. BOOKING AFTER THE SEAMEN. Dr. Stitt has been connected with the seaman’s society for several years and is deeply interested in his work. He is no * on a tour of toe southern ports, looking after the different seamen’s homes aud bethels which have been established largely through the efforts of the Seaman’s Friend Sooiety. Dr. Stitt is a very intelligent man and talks well upon his work. "Saiiors are a forgotten class,” he said. “When everybody else goes to ohurob or to Sunday school, if they cbooso, in comfort able and perhaps handsome places of wor ship, nobody seems to think that there are several hundred or perhaps thousands of sailors, according to the size of tbe port, wan dering around the streets without a friend to spetiK a kind word to them and direct them to some place where they may hear the gos pel preached or to give them a word of ad vice as to where to go aud how to obtain what they may need. The objootof tbe Henman’s Friend Society is to look after the sailors' w ants, not only moral and religious, but intellectual and bodily as well. It en deavors to save them from the low class of boarding-house keepers aud boarding house runners and to furuish them with reputable bonus while on shore, where they will not I>9 fleeced and cheated out of their money. When they are "shanghaied” anil the case comes to our knowledge, legal counsel is employed to ferret out and prosecute the guilty parties, nnd bring them tu nuuishmeiit. THE SAILORS’ HOMES, “At those homes the sailors have a pise' where they can spend their time, amuse themselvei, have good reading matter, ob tain direction aud advice, and be given occasional religious instruction. It is not the policy of the society to prod religion into iha sailor at all times, but to present it in the most acceptable manner. “The New York society furnishes the auxiliary societies with chaplains. These chaplains are almost always ex-aailors, who have a thorough knowledge of the class they have to deal with. In most instance they are strong, God-fearing men, and it Is seldom that one of them goes back to ovil ways. There ore n great many more religiously inclined men among the sailors than are gen erally supposed. The Scandinavians who furnish such a large part of the sailors on tom g our ports have a g od proportion of God-fearing men among them. Sailors are subjected to a great many temptations, and it requires a strong inan indeed to resist them. READING FOR JACK. “Another great work of the society is its loan library department. It sends out loan libraries in toe forecastle of ships where the sailors have ready auotss to tnem. We have sent out over 20,000 libraries since begin ning this branch in 1858. “There two forty-three volumes In each library, wdil selected, containing the bost literature us well as the best religious works, such as are best adapt- and to the sailors. “Another important feature is the Sailors’ borne in New York, which cost $59,009, where shipwrecked and distressed seamen are cared for. If a crew is shipwrecked at some foreign port they oan be sent by the United Sta es consul to the Seaman’s Friend Society iu New York, where they will bs taken care of and reshipped. “There are 300,000 sailors that coma into the port of Ns v York every year and 350,- 000 into the port of Boston.” Dr. Stitt mot the directors of the Savan nah Prot Society Saturday night and dis cussed t.ie work of the society here. Ho suggested the idea that the time had come when Savannah should have a sailors' home. “Savannah is growing wealthy and her population i3 increasing largely through her commerce, which is carried 1 ack and forth by the hardships endured by the tail ors. Savannah could well afford to build such a home. Wilmington built a sailors’ home a year or two ago whioh has btea conducted very successfully.” In support of Dr. Stitt’s argument it may be mentioned that at a close calculation there are fully 1,000 roilors in pore now and that the port is visited by over 10,000 sailors during the year, who spend from a few days to a month or more here. TALK OF THE TRAOK3. The Charleston and Savannah Railway Company announces elsewhere great reduc tion in rates for the Augusta exposition. Round trip tickets, including admission to tho exposition, good from Nov. 1, to 37, and limited to return by Nov. 30, are sold at $5 10.

Mr. Taylor has been Mr. Hardwick’s chief clerk for several years, and Is one of the most popular young men in the service of the Riobmond and Danville, and deservedly so. He has many friends among railroad men generally, who will congratulate bun on bis promotion. President Inman of tbe Richmond Termi nal says: “There is no truth in the report that the First National Bank people have been looking into the company 's affairs with a view of aiding the proposed plan of relief.

BAKING POWDER.fr Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report. PWteJ Baking vjiw Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE GOSSIP OF BUSINESS. Two years ago a large number of Georgia farmers shipped their long cotton to the Florida Alliance Exchange in Jacksonville. Among those who thus disposed of their crop were several Lowndes oounty sea island cotton growers. They drew some money on the shipments—some more and some lees—but the balance due never oame. For two years the planters have been try ing to get their money, but without success. Now they are going to resort to the lav.-. The Jacksonville Metropolis contains the following information on tue subject: "W. P. Ward, a well-known attorney at law of this city, has bagun nineteen suits against the Florida state alliance in which many Georgia farmers are plaintiffs. The cause of the trouble is as follows: Georgia principally raises short cotton aud had no exohauge organized for tbe handling of sea island cotton. Florida had an exchange of this character. The Georgia representatives of tbe alliance came to Florida last year at and made arrangements to store their cotton with the Florida exchange. The Florida ex change made arrangements with the Geor gia exchange and stored their cotton in this city. The Florida exchange also made a rangementa to draw 75 per cent, on the value of the cotton ou a basis of 23 cents per pound. Interest, insurance, freight, drayage. etc., has been chargsd by the fanners’ alliance of Florida nod the farmers of Georgia have not been able to recover their money from the Florida al liance. Henco the above suits. The Mobile Cotton Exchange has taken action in the matter of the Liverpool con ference of Juno last relative to cotton bills of lading, at which was adopted a regula tion requiring that bills of ludiug shall not be sigLOd until the cotton is actually deliv ered to the steamers. The .Mobile exchange deems this impracticable for these reasons: It would require an enormous increase in the capital engaged in tne cotton buying business; the exporter at tbe port will have to pay interest and insurance on an un known amount for an indefinite time; it plsoas the port exporter at a disadvantage as compared with an interior exporter; It would be ruinous fro shipowners, and ; lace tramp steamers at tbe mercy of the cotton buyers.

IN THE MARI IME WORLD. An English pilot had an enjoyable trip on the City of Paris on her last voyage from Queenstown. He was a favored tour ist although his name was not down on tho ship’s passenger list. Kis name is Edmuud Butler, and, although he paid no money, no ccupied one of the cabins und was pai 1 for it. Butler was tbe pilot who took the steamer out from Queenstown. When he reached the sea be started to return in his yawl, which was tewing aster.i. Tho sea was rough ut the time, aud Butler was low ered in a chair from the yardarm. Just as he got near the boat she capsize I and sunk. Butler was hastily drawn üboard again and tuere was nothing left to do but to bring him to America. Under their contract with the Queenstown pilots the steamship ompauies are obliged to take the best cure of such of them as may by any accident be carried to sea. Butler had a nice cabin, hoard of tbe finest quality, and in addition drew 840 a week while away. A mirage in the Carribaan sea. rays a Philadelphia special to the New York Sun of Oct. 32, was the cause of the total loss of the new American barkentine Steadfast, while bound from Port of Upain for Phila delphia with a cargo of street paving as phalt. She was wrecked several weeks ago, but the crow only recently reached here on their way home from the Island of St. Croix, the scene of the disaster. The cap tain had never before made n voyage, and cost her owners nesrly 440,000. When the Steadfast sighted the lofty peaks of Bt. Croix the atmosphere assumed a peculiar light color and it became impose sible to detect the sky from the island, every thing assuming a similar -hade and color re sembling the cirro-stratus clouds, hiding the entire lower portion of the island. The peaks and mountain tops appeared to be twenty miles away. The tops of the mountains seemed to be inverted, the tall cocoanuts appearing to grow from sky to the earth. The sugar-grinding mills were pouring their smoke downward, and t e workmen working upsido down. The Stead fast was kept under easy sail and perfect oontrol. Everything went well until a grinding sound was heard, and a sudden tremor went through the ship. The vessel crashed over the reefs, and was soon fast on the rocky shore where her wreck still remains. The mirage made the inland appear twenty miles away. There were in port yesterday 61 vessels, 33 of which were steamships, 13 barks, 1 brig and 19 schooners. Henry Wayne Dead.
