hood of $3,000 From It.
•jhe orphans’ baxar, which closed last
night, was a success, despite its unfavorable
teginning. The attendance Monday and
Tuesday nights was so small that the inan

A COMBINING OF FOHCKS.
The Plant Lines Take a Hand at Cut
ting Down Elxpensea.
H. A Ulmo, master mechanic of the
Charleston and Savannah repair shops at
Savannah, baa been retired and (i. M. D.
Rllsy, master mechanic of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway will have
oharge of the Charleston and Savannah
shops. Mr. Ulmo has been master mechanic
of the Charleston aud Savannah for sixteen
year*.
ihe explanation given of the change is
that the repair work of tbe Charleston aud
Savannah at SavanDah Is done in the shops
of the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way, and the officials of the road considered
that there was no necessity of continuing
two master mechanics in the same shop.
Mr. Ulmo is transferred to Charleston
where he will be made foreman of the en
gine work of tbe Charleston and Savannah
at that end of line. His position is equally
as good a one as the one he held at Savan
nah.
The order for the ohange is as follows:
From and after Nov. 15 G. M. D. Riley, the
Blaster mechanic of the Savannah. Florida and
w estern railway, will take full control of tho
machinery department of tbe Charleston and
savannah railway. He will be obeyod aud re
spected accordingly.

THINGS TALKED ABOUT.
Among Savannah’s autumn visitors there
is no more interesting figure than that of
Gen. W. W. Bums. United States Army
(retired). Although he graduated from the
L nited States Military Academy as long
0 1847, Gen. Burns is still a young man
in gait, In manner and in thought. An
Ohioan, and an uncompromising democrat
and tariff reformer, he was deeply con
cerned for the success of Gov. Campbell’s
candidacy, and correspondingly disap
pointed at that gallant leader’s defeat,
although he was measurably consoled by
the magnificent victories elsewhere. Gen".
Burns is a frequent visitor at the Hussars’
Club, where his charming manners, genial
wit and inexhaustible fuud of anecdote and
reminiscence always insures him a cordial
welcome and attentive audience. At West
loint he was a tent-mate of Stonewall
Jackson, and his quaint description of
•’Jack's" first attack on algebra woul.l move
a stoic. The general’s many friends here
hope that bis stay m Savannah may be a
long one.
Savannah lumbermen are not affected by
the combine of the yello wpine lumber dealers
of New York, the formation of which was
announced in yesterday’s Morning News.
A prominent lumber shipper said that it is
only a local combination and will affect
only the local lumber supply In New York.
The Savannah firms are in no way inter
ested in it. The combination does not in
clude all the yellow pine lumber dealers in
New York, and cannot affect the prioes of
shipping lumber. It Is simply a combina
tion of a number of planing mills and local
yards to regulate their business and lessen
expenses.
Alderman Charlton, who returned from
New York night before last, was a visiter
at the Washington Club during bis short
stay in the metropolis, and, as a matter of
oourse, heard a little politics, although his
limited time prevented him from hearing
as muob as be would have liked. The elec
tion excitement, he said, had subsided, but
the democrats whom Mr. Charlton met
seemed to think that the result means that
Cleveland will be the nominee for President
next year. The sentiment of the peoele of
New York, the alderman thinks, is for the
ex-President to again lead the destinies of
his party.
A leading rioe broker said yesterday that
the rice crop in this section this yoar will
fully equal last year’s crop notwithstanding
the decrease of about 4,000 acres in the acre
age planted. Last year's crop, however,
was not more than half a crop and this
year’s crop is a very poor one. The receipts
to date are considerably ahead of last year’s
to the same date. The broker has kept up
with the receipts and his figures
show that up to Nov. 1 last the receipts
were 227,394 bushels, pounded 89,569, stock
on hand 147,825. At the same date last year
tbe receipts were 174,485 bushels, pounded
90,990, stock on hand 83,495. The total
receipts last year were 480,874 bushels, and
in the broker’s opinion this year’s receipts
will equal, if not exceed, that amount. A
mill man said, however, that he would bet
money that the receipts would be consider
ably less than last year’s.
President Comer of the South Bound
railroad and President Denmark of the Sa
vannah Construction Company returned
yesterday from Columbia, where they have
been to look over the field. Mr. Comer
said the South Bound is doing a very heavy
passenger business to tho Columbia fair.
The Friday morning train out of Columbia
brought out five cars packed with passen
gers so that hardly standing room was left. A
great many people have gone from Savannah
to tbe fair. In fact, more tickets have boen
sold to tbe Columbia fair from Savannah
than to either the Augusta or Atlanta ex
positions. Mr. Comer said tbe South Bound
is doing fully as well in both passenger and
freight busluess as had been expected. Tbe
road got into the field a little late to catch
the cotton this year, as the merchants along
tbe line in Carolina bad already made their
arrangements before tbe road reached them.

The British steamship Bendo with her great
cargo on hoard left her dock between 5 and
6 o’clock yosterday to go to an anchorage
further down the r iver. The tug Cynthia
went ahead with a towline to keep her hoad
from sheering out of the chaDuel. The
balconies on the river front wero crowded
with spectators watching the big ship as
showeutby. Unfortunately the steamship
City of Birmirg.iam preceded her and she
was compelled to go along slowly so as to
prevent getting into too close proximity to
the Birmingham who kept just ahead.
When the Bendo struck the garden bank
off gas bouse hill she stuck fast where she
remained last night.
The cotton freight market is rather dull
now, and steamers have been ordered away
from this port in the past two days. The
British steamship Suez arrived yesterday
from Swansea and was ordered to Norfolk,
Va. The British steamships Nutfleld and
Somor Hill were ordered to Port Eads for
orders. t

BAIL AND CBOS3TIB.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
uses about 85,000 tons of rails annually.
The orders already given out for 1892 cover
75,000 tons of rails, distributed as usual
among the mills on the line of the oompany.
Col. C. Johnson, president of the Ten
nessee River, As: ville and Coosa railroad,
says in regard to the extension of the read:
By March 1 continuous lias of rails on the
Tennessee River, Ashvile and Coosa will
extend from a print in Mur free’s valley to
the Coosa river. Not later than Deo. 15
from 1,000 to 2,000 hands will b* operating
on the roadbed.
A change of schedule on the South Bound
goes into effect to-day. The time between
Savannah and Columbia la lengthened by
half an hour. Trains will now leave Sa
vannah at 9 a. m. and 2:30 p. m. and
arrive at Columbia at 2:40 p. m.
Trains will leave Columbia at 6:10 a. m.
and 5:30 p. m., arriving at Savannah at
11:40 a. m. and 11 p. m. This makes a
schedule of about hours between Savah
nah and Columbia.
The stockholders of the Montgomery and
Eufaula road, a division of the Richmond
and Danville system, have re-elected the
old beard of directors and officials:
President. Gen. E. P. Alexander, Sa
vannah; general superintendent, V.
E. Mcßee, Savannah; treasurer, J.
H. Hall, Atlanta; secretary, E. W< rkman,
Atlanta. Board of directors: I. Poliak, C.
A Stern, J. R. Wane;), Montg>mery; J.
W. Tullis. G. L. Comer, 8. H. Dent, Eu
faula; William Stakely, Union Springs; E.
P. Alexander and V. EL Mcßee, Savannah.
Now that the Central railroad and the
Savannah, Americus and Montgomesy rail
road have fallen out it is suggested that the
Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
o.dubine with the Middle Georgia and At
lantic, aud the two roads come into the city
on the same track. By this arrangement
the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
o ild secure ample terminal facilities, an i
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic would se
cure the eo-oporation desired In bridging the
the river and (developing Hutchinson’s
island. The Middle Georgia and Atlantio
could build its proposed track to Statesboro,
and the Savannah, Americus and Mont
gomery would build to meet it half way be
tween Savannah and Statesboro and save
building the entire distance to Savannah.
“I notice that the newspapers are making
mention of the fact that a woman has been
elected president of the board of directors of
a railroad down in West Virginia," re
marked the general passenger agent of one
of the local lines. “That is one of the few
Instances of genuine humor in the railroad
business. The railroad of whioh Mrs. Hat
tie N. Kimball of Harrisville, W. Va., was
recently elected president is called tbs
Pennsboro and Harrisville railroad, and it
is about as long as a good after-breakfast
fast walk. Its business and its importance
in the oommeroial world is proportionate to
its length. It is, perhaps, needless to say
that itis all under one management, and its
oapital stock has never attracted the eager
eye of Joy Gould. Speaking of that rail
road reminds me of an incident
that gave me considerable amuse
meut a few years ago. One
day I received a typewritten letter on a
beautiful lithographed letter-head asking
for passes for the officials of the 'Cleveland
and Southern Railway Company.’ I knew
nothing of the railway, but the lithographed
stationery informed all to whom it might
come that the 'Cleveland and Southern
railway’ was ‘the shortest line between Chi
cago and New York.’ I immediately for
warded the usual courtesies, and a few weeks
later, as I chanced to be in Cleveland, I
made inquiry concerning the new corpora
tion. I learned that ‘the shortest line be
tween Chicago and New York’ is just tour
miles long and that it runs from Chagrin
Falls, 0., to Bolon, O. There can belittle
doubt that the road is all that is claimed for
it on the stationery of its officials.’’

LOVE DREAMS.
BY C. H. BEACH.
The music from a thousand haros.
Whose strings were touched by fingers fair;
Came in a wealth of melody,
Tc cheer me with its heavenly air.
The bird-like notes of golden song,
With its alto like beaten silver;
Made of life a paradise, ‘
On the banks of some mighty river.
In w aves of richest harmony,
The musio rose and fell;
Like the murmur of autumn leaves,
Iu some tiowery mossy dell.
I saw rny life drift past.
From the cradle to manhood’s years;
Aud the drear sad recollection,
Ope’d the font of long pent years.
And the heart swift pulsation.
With the music sweet kept time;
Nor could I stop the memory.
That youth was no longer mine.
Tho soft night winds seemed well In tune,
With the notes so low, so sweet.
And night birds woke to life and song,
Making the poem eomplete.
I saw the loved one of my dreams,
Bringing thoughts of sweetest bliss;
Tbe ripe red iipe held up to mine,
Impatient for love's first ktsa
I longed to stop the music.
That I might live in its last sweet measure;
Nor think of earth, nor time,
Nor aught but my new won treasure.
And the musio seemed In unison,
With every thought of mine;
A voice soft miugled with the tones divine,
•T’U beiorever. and forever thine. ”

DISCLOSURES BY QUBBEC’S COURT
HOUSE CONTRACTOR.
Large Sums Feld Cabinet Ministers
end Others In en Attempt to Get the
Contractor’s Claim Settled The
Mercler Gang Paid to Have Received
$1,100,000 in Five Years.
Montreal, Nov. 14.—A tremendous sen
sation has been creattd by the publication,
in the Toronto Empire, of Startling state
ments as to payments made by U. P.
Whelan, a contractor of thii city, in con
nection with bis contract for the construc
tion of the court houee of Quebec. A com
mission was appointed by the Quebec gov
ernment some time ago to inquire into this
matter, but Whelan, refusing to answer
certain questions, aud a quest
ion as to tbe constitutionality of
tbe court having arisen, tbe commission was
allowed to drop for the time being, the
principal reason being, it appears, that the
ministers were by no means anxious to have
tbe matter inquired into. Ithaa been known
for some time that Whelan paid large sums
of money to ministers and others with a
view to getting his claim against the gov
ernment settled, but it was never expected
that tbe amount had reached such largo
proportions, nor was it believed that so
many of the ministers were implicated.
THE AMOUNT INVOLVED.
The total amount distributed was $115,-
000, divided among Hon. H. Mercier, G. A.
Boeusoleit, Achilla Carrier, Hon. Charles
Langelter, Hon. P. Garnean, Hon. A. Tur
cotte, B. Prefontaine, Mayor McShane of
Montreal and others, besides a subiorlptiou
of $14,500 to help the liberal candidates in
the dominion elections. Who a i admits
making several payments, but c.aim* they
were all made for political purposes. Mayor
McShane den es having received the money,
although Whelan is authority for
the statement that he asked for
$20,000 more toward the election
fund. Mayor McShane threatens to
take aotlon for libel against both the Em
pire and Whelan. The other recipients
have not yet been heard from. Tbe La
Presie, Cnaplsau’s organ, claims that tbe
Mercier “gang” have received $1,100,000 In
a similar manner since the advent to power
of the nationalist party in 1886.

COMANCHE IS DEAD.
He Was a Horse and the Only Survi
vor of tha Custer Massacre.
From the New York World.
Kansas City, Nov. 10.—Comanche, the
most celebrated horse In the United States
cavalry servioe, died at Fort Riley last
Thursday. He was the only living thing
belonging to the United States service that
escaped the massacre at the battle of
Little Bffc Horn, where Gen. Custer and
his command were massacred. He was one
of the original mount of the Seventh Cav
alry when the regiment was organized in
1866, and had been in almost every battle
with the Indians.
After the battle of Little Big Horn Com
anche was found oovered with wounds,
riderless and saddleless, some distance from
the scene of the massacre. He was taken
In charge by Capt. Rowlan, who sent him
to Fort Riley, where for fourneen years he
has been the ward of the Seventh Cavalry.
His death was due to Old age.
Comanche’s skin will ue stuffed and
mounted and kept in the museum of the
Kansas State Universitv until the opening
of the world’s fair at Chicago, when It will
be taken there for exhibition.
ROMANCE GIVES IT COLOR.
Courtship of Senator Mitchell’s Daugh
ter and the Duke of Rochefoucauld.
'From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Washington, Nov. B.—There is a ro
mance attached to the announoed engage
ment of Miss Mattie Mitchell, daughter of
Senator Mitchell of Oregon, to the Duke of
Kocnefouchaukl of France.
It appears that the acquaintance between
the young couple commenced some sir years
ago in Paris, hut that there was opposition
on the part of Senator -Mitchell, and also
on the part of the mother of the duke.
This opposition has been continued until
recently.
The duke, who is an officer in the Chas
seurs d’Atrique, was so determined upon the
engagement that he asked to be Bent with
his regiment to Algiers, and avowed his de
termination to remain banished from France
until he could marry the woman of his
choice. Patient waiting seems to have
been rewarded by a removal of the obsta
cles wblcb existed in both families.
The duke is now a captain, with his com
mand near Paris. He is said to have a
moderate fortune which yields a private

HER BOY SUITOR SUSPECTED
A Young Mexican lady Assassinated
in a Depot Waiting Room.
From the New York World.
Albuquerque, N. M., Nov. 10.—Miss
Adele JaramiUo, aged 16, daughter of one of
the wealthiest Mexican families in New
Mexico, was assassinated last night in the
waiting room of the Les Lunas depot,
twenty miles south of this city.
The murderer is supposed to be Frank
Romero Lacido, son of J. P. Lacido, a
wealthy democratic politician of Valencia
county. Young Lacido, who is only 18,was
a suitor for Miss Jaramillo’s hand, but she
had rejected his addresses.
Miss Jaramillo, accompanied by her uncle,
Jose Jaramillo, was waiting to take the
train to Denver, where she was going to
euter a sohool. Before their arrival at the
depot a young man was seen to pass in and
out of the waiting room several times, as if
looking for somebody. Miss Jaramillo was
sitting with her back to the window when
the fatal shot waa fired from the outside.
The night was dark and the murderer es
caped.
“Yu," said the sensible girl, "she's an heir
ess, but Pm afraid she doesn't know how to
husband her resources.’’
“O. yes, she does,” wan the reply. “She's en
gaged to be married now.’’— Walking ton Star.
SHE WAS A KLEPTOMANIAC.
How a Society Girl Got Her Jewelry
and Gowns.
Some years ago, says the New York
Tribune, several girls were gathered to
gether for afternoon tea m the boudoir of
their hostess, a stately dame of the old re
gime, when, to please her young guests, the
old lady bad brought out many old time
treasures in the way of gowns and
jewels. Placing tbe latter in their casket
as the party broke up, Mrs 8. turned
the key in the lock and put the box away,
neglecting to verify the casket un
til later in tbe evening; then,
reproaching herself for her care
lessness, she opened the om to see that
nothing Was missing. To her conaterua
tiou she tound that a very valuable ri:.g
was goue. Of course the most minute end
thorough search of the room was made,
and every part of the old gowt s carefully
examined. All wa. in vain; tbe ring had
and sappeared, and was never seen again.
Deeming it use!**, Mrs. S. decided not to
mention the matter to her young guests,
fearing it might make them unoomfortable,
and so the matter was dropped.
A few months later three of the party, In
cluding Mrs. S.,.happened to be snipping
together at a large country bouse on tbe
Hudson. One morning when most of the
house party were at breakfast their hostess
came down rather late, looking very much
worried. "I have had a most annoying
loss," she said as she entered the room.
"Two rings of considerable value have been
taken from my room. At this season I al
ways have my coffee early, and work for
half an hour in my rose garden,
leaving my rings on the ring stand
on mv dressing-table. It is a careless
habit, I know, but I have done so con
stantly, and most of the servauts have been
with us so long that I never felt that there
was any danger. This morning I left them
there as usual, but when I name back to
dress for breakfast I found two of them
gone.’’ The event naturally caused gieat
commotion in tbe house; the servants were
interrogated and suspicion finally attached
itself to anew French nurse who had lately
entered the household. The theft, how.
ever, was not proved, and she left, vowing
vengeance. "You insult us, you examine
our effects," she screamed iu shrill anger.
“But regard them in the truuks of
cea dames; they can be voleurs as well as
nous autres. The fine miss will betray her
self some flue day, be sure of that. ” And so
she departed metaphorically shaking the
dust from off her shoes. Her last remark
set Mrs S. thinking. "Could it be possi
ble,” she said to herself, “that the woman
was right.” No, it was too absurd; but
Minnie dressed wonderfully well for a girl
in moderate circumstances. “But how
wrong," thought the oonsoientious old lady,
“to let the obance word of a dismissed serv
ant influence me," aud she felt that she had
dons wisely in not mentioning her own loss
of the winter before.
One year later Mrs. 8. visited a well
known watering place, where she found
Minnie stopping with some frlsnda at tbe
same hotel, and tbe same afternoon she en
oountered Josephine, the suspected French
maid, walking with twro pretty little ohil
dren on the veranda. Stopping her as she
passed the girl poured forth an eager stream
of entr> atles. She had found a good place,
she said, and a kind lady; madams, she
begged, would not mention last year’s an
noyance; she assured madame she was lnno
oent, "as madame would flud out yet," she
added meaningly. Tbe kind-hearted
Mrs. 8. promised, but she felt
thoroughly bewildered when, a couple
of days later, a mutual aouualntance
who had reoently arrived missed a valua
ble bracelet "is it not odd, dear Mrs.
8.," said Minnie, running up to her in
the drawing-room, “Did you know Jose
phine was beret” What do you think we
ought to do about last year) But even as
she spoke she turned ghastly pale, for be
hind her stood the French woman, her dark
faot> alight with triumpant revenge, ami
holding up tho setting of the bracelet out of
which every stone had been abstracted. “I
have witnesses,” she fairly hissed. “1 knew
where to find the braoelet, but, mad
emoiselle, where are the stones?” Fairly
cornered by the clever precautions of the
revengeful maid, tbe miserable girl at
tempted no defense, and subsequently made
a full confession. For years she had been
no better, nay, rather worse, than a oom
mori thief—stealing petty articles at first,
but beooming bolder as she found she could
obtain money by selling her stolen goods.
Not only did she buy dresses and jewelry
for herself, but for the last twelvemonth
she had taken to stock gambling, succeeding
beyond her anticipation at first, but finally
losing everything. It was her urgent need
to make good her recent losses that tempted
her to take the bracelet, honing
to draw suspiolou upon Josephine.
With great difficulty the latter was
silenoed, and Minnie’s uncle, who was alto
her guardian, was telegraphed for. One of
the proudest of men, and devotedly attaohod
to his children, he keenly felt tbe disgraoe
of her conduct, and, after a consultation
with Mrs S. and the lady whose bracelet
she had taken, tbe choice was offered to tbe
girl of a public prosecution or a life im
prisonment in a maison de sante, where she
could have every comfort consistent with
confinement. She ohose the lat er; the
secret was well kept, and society only knows
of her as an unfortunate girl whose mind
has become unsettled.
Seven has by old writers been called the num
ber of perfection! and it is curious to notioe how
often this idea seams to be involved in its use.
Thus, to quote some few representative exam
ples out of many: Baalam, as an effectual test
of the will of God. built 7 altars, and prepared
7 oxen and 7 rams for sacrifloe. Job, referring
to the effectual protection or Providence, save:
“In 7 troubles there shall be no evil touch
thee;” and again, “Wisdom hath hewn her 7
pillars."
It Is estimated that there wlllbe2,ooocarloads
of 20,000 pounds each of beans in Ventura and
Santa Barbara counties, California. This would
make a train nearly fourteen mdos long, not in
cluding the locomotives. Supposing one locomo
tive pulls twenty cars it will take 100 engines to
move the crop. There will be 600,000 sacks of
beans, allowing 300 sacks to a car. The empty
sacks cost t he grower $30,000, but the beans will
bring $1,100,000 into Ventura and Santa Barbara
counties.
