Newspaper Page Text8 ALL FOR DEEP WATER. THE GOVERNOR OP NEBRASKA IN- D-R 'lB THE MOVEMENT. Th 6 Governor's Recommendation to be Transmitted to tbe Nebraska Legislature at Its Next Session—Lin coln and Omaha Fall Into i-lno With Otter Western Cities-The Unani mous Action of the Bt. Loula and Kansas City Commercial Bodies and the National Farmers’ Cor.gres3. The deep water movement is taking bold of the entire west. The St. Louis Mer chants’ Exchange and the Kansas City com mercial bodies have given it their hearty indorsement, and yesterday Capt. Purse telegraphed the Morning News from Lin coln, Neb., as follows: Lincoln. N‘zb., Nov. 14, IS9I. Have necured tbe indorsement of ex-Senator (now Gov.) Thayer of Nebraska, who will rec •mmend to the Nebraska legislature the in dorsement of the deep water movement, and have also secured tbe indorsement of the com mercial and municipal bodies. My reception and entertainment tas been princely in Lincoln. I go next to Omaha.'' Last night Capt. Purse telegraphed from Omaha as follows: Omaha, Nkb., Nov. 14,1891. Omaha indorses deep water at Savannah. Her merchants thoroughly understand how deep is their interest in the success of Savannah’s efforts. The St. Louis papers, in reporting the ac tion of the merchants' exohange, announce that the deep water movement, as pre sented by Maj. Ryala and Harry Brown, was indorsed unanimously. Iu the national farmers’ congress at Sedalia, Capt. Purse, Maj. Ryalt and Mr. Brown took a prominent part. Capt Purse was a member of the committee on resolu - tions and was elected vice president of the oongress. Maj. Ryals was elected vice presi dent from Georgia, and Mr. Brown was elected assistant secretary. The] deep water movement was unani mously and heartily indorsed by tbe con gress. The movement is spreading in every direction. The members of the delegation which went to Washington and invited President Harrison to visit Savannah believe that the President will accept the invitation. Aider man W. G. Charlton said yesterday that President Harrison treated tbe delegation most oordially, and while he did not com mit himself, be left the impression on the minds of his visitors that he would endeavor to make the trip. Secretary of the Treasury Foster was waited on by Capt, Purse, and promised to urge upon President Harrison to oome. He said he would come anyhow, himself. After transacting their business at the white house the visitors took In all the points of interest around Wash ington The aldermen were particularly impressed with the asphalted streets. Gen. Sorrel telegraphed the party from Norfolk, Va., tendering tbe oourtesies of tbe Ooean Steamship Company for the return trip, wMci. ”as the reasou the delegation came back by the water route. Mayor McDon ough remained In New York with his family and will not return for about tea days. ir MEANS ANOTHER ROAD. The Richmond and Danville and the Savannah, Americua and Montgom ery Rupture. Tbe fight between tbe Central and Savan nah, Americus and Montgomery roads is tbe principal topic among Bay street men, and all sorts of theories are being advanced as to the probable outcome of tbe tio ible. “Thecoming of President Hawkins of the Sam is anxiously awaited. Many people think when he gets to Savannah he will either have the old contract renewed or get to work at once to bring bis line here. It is said that the Richmond and Danville will be as heavy a loser by the rupture as the Savannah, Ameri cus and Montgomery, beci.ui -the local busi ness between Savannah anil Lyons will not be sufficient by any means to support the Savannah and Western. The through possenger rates to Americus by the Sam via the Savannah and Western were discontinued after last night’s train pulled out of the Central depot. Parties now wanting to go to Americus or Mont gomery by the Sam will have to pay regu lar Central rates to Lyons, and from there buy another ticket at Sam rates. It is understood that after the Richmond and Danville first gave the Sam people no tice of the dißcuntiuii .neeof traffic arrange ments an amicable understanding was ar rived at and the original order counter manded, but the Richmond and Danville authorities changed their mind. Then the Sam people decided to make no further efforts to settle, but let matters take their course. There Is some outside talk of the South Bound aud Sara forming a cimb.neand coming into the city over cuiumon terminals to a union depot. Cot. Hawkins, some of his friends assert, will build to Savannah if the South Bound will agree to a common terminal. In view of a possible hitoh between the Magnolia route aud the Richmond and Danville, the forming of the combine at an early day will not beau unlikely happening. THE RIVER CONVENTION.

Tbe bereaved parents have the sympathy of all who know them. ROBBERIES BY VAGABONDS. Tramp Highwaymen Infest the Roads leading Into tbe City. The highwaymen who attempted to shoot Frank Sawyer day before yesterday on the Ogeecbee road are supp sed to be tramps. They have not been apprehended, because they are plying their vocation beyond the polioe limits, and necet-arilv come under the jurisdiction of the state officers. Tbe polioe say that complaint* of rob beries and attempted robberies along the roads loading into Savannah are not new or surprising things. They occur almost yearly during the fall, and are committed by the I ramps who are driven southward by tbe approaching winter. When they get within a few miles of the city they camp out and strike up a partnership with the shiftless negroes, and together they prey upon tbe small (arms and bold up the loueiy travelers who happen in their way. When the vagabonds manage to make a haul they oome to the city and generally wind up by being arrested for vagrancy. The parties whom they rob are never able to recognize them, and consequently they receive no punish ment for their grievous crimes. A gentleman who bat considerable busi ness along tbe various roads leading into the city told a Morning News reporter yesterday that be has met during the past two weeks, camped at va-ious point* some of tbe toughest looking white tramps that have ever visited this aection. In most in stances negroes have been mingling with them, and they have tbe appearance of beiug equal to the commission of any crime. The Morning News informant said that tbe people living along the roads are in ter ror of these mar uding bauds, and have to submit to their depredations without com plaint. It would be a good idea, ho said, to have officers sent out to either capture or run otf these'.ramps, who will eventually transfer tbe scene of their operations to the city if not summarily dealt with. STOPPED STEALING a WHILE. A Hen House Robbsr Caught and Locked Up For Trial. Polioeman Morgan captured Ben Thomas yesterday morning with sixteen flue chick ens in bis possession which are now at the barracks awaiting a claimant. The resi dents in tbe outskirts have had their yards and ben bouses frequently raided by some unknown marauder. A few days ago it was discovered that the green grocers in that lo cality were being offered frequently by Thomas, live chickens at ridiculously low prices. Borne of the chickens were fi.ie fowls. Mrs. Trott, whose hennery on Third street was robbed last week, recognized one of her hens at a gresn grocery, and, on inquiry, found out that Thomas had sold the chickens. Officer Morgan has had the negro under espionage for some time, and found oat that he was to deliversoms chick ens at a gi eea grocer’s at Anderson and Abercorn yesterday morning, where hs had sold a batch the previous week. The policeman found Thomas with the fowls and arrested him. Thomas could give no satisfactory account of his possession of the chickens. The case was before the mayor yesterday morning, and was continued uutil to morrow for more evidence. Thomas rooms at a house on Bolton street across Bilbo canal, where he has fourteen more chickens. He is also offering a fine cow for sale. A few nights ago several yards on Third avenue were cleaned of all the ohiokens and in one yard the lock of the hen house was broken. Another party two weeks ago had 300 fowls and he has only half a dozen left, all taken by probably the same thief or thieves. Tbomas bas a pal also, whom the officer is on the lookout for. TO TRY TOBACCO RAISING. A Savannah Man to Plant an Experi mantal crop Next Year. The heed of one of the largest commis sion houses on the Bay said yesterday that his farm will experiment largely with tobacco in Bulloch county next year. He believes the olimateand toil to be admirably suited to the cultivation of tobacco, and that It will prove a very profitable crop in thla section. Tobacco is now being raised with great success at Batnbiidge; Gadsden county, Florida, and Florence, 8. C., localities at which two or three years ago tobaejo was not thought of as a money crop. At Flore ce, S. C., where not a stalk of tobacco was planted a few years ago, a large acreage is now given to its cultiva tion. The yield is 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per acre and the crop sells at 20 tc 30 cents per pound. It is a very profitable crop to the farmer and fortune* are being made in its cultivation. It is the heavy crop for plug tobacco that is cultivated at Florence. At Bainbridge the finer leaf for cigar wrappers is cultivated, and much higher prices are obtained. Samples of the best North Carolina seed and also of the best Cuban seed will be se cured for the experiment. Parties famil iar with the cultivation of tobacco will have charge of this c op, that the best results may be obtained. “I don’t see why just as fine tobacco as is raised in Cuba should not be raised in Geor gia,’’ said the gentleman. “There is very little difference iu the soil aud the climate except that their season is a little longer. The time has come for the people of this section to raise something else besides cot ton, and tobacco appears to be the most available crop.” WANTS THE BUSINESS ITS 'LF. The Richmond and D nville Not Giv ing Up Any to the South Bonnd. The Richmond and Danville seems to be adopting a policy of repression toward the South Bound. It has notified the South Bound that it will not receive freights from Savannah aud through points from it for anv points on its lines n> rth of Columbia and west of Augusta. Naturally it does not turn over any freight to the South Bound that can be carried around by its own lines. This action of the Richmond and Danville prae.leally limits tbe South Bound to its local territory. "It prevents Savannah from getting the benefits of the decreased distance to points north of us,” said a South Bound railroad man yesterday, “and compels them to pay for shipping their goods over the same old round about routes.” The putting on of the new schedule be tween Bavannah and Charlotte to connect with the R.chmond and Danville for Wash ington and New York, giving practically the same time as the Atlantic Coast Lino is regarded as an attempt to fore stall tbe anticipated sh„rt route schedule by the South Bound. It is said now that the Richmond aud Danville will not give the South Bound a vestibule train or a through Pullman service between Ssvaunah and Charlotte to conneot with the vestibule on the Richmond aud Danville for Washing ington and New York, as was confidently expected a short while ago. The Y. M. C. A.’s Work. At the meeting of the Young Men’s Chris tian Association this afternoon Secretary Stradtman will present some facta up n tbe international work of the association, what it has done and is doing, and will also give some figures upon the work done in the south, going to show that the work is upon a much greater scale thau is generally sup posed. S. J. Chandler, Richmond, Vo., writes; ‘No one can afford to be without B. B. B. who wishes au appetite. I oould scarcely eat a single biscuit for breakfast, but since taking B. B. B. I clean the whole table, so to speak.”— Ad. Men's Wool Drawers Closing Out A fine variety, any sizes. LaFar,27Bull street.— Ad. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1891-TWELVE PAGES. THE FAST TRAINS Pl’T ON PREPARATIONS FOR A 810 TRAVEL THIS WINTER Two New Trains Added to tbe Charles ton and Savannah hallway Service. Ail Trains Coming South Crowded W ith People From the North and West, and Railroad and Hotel Men Look for aßushln* Season. The Atlantic Coast Line will complete its winter service by putting on an extra train between New York and Jacksonville to morrow, as bas been customary at this season of the year. The train will be known as No. 23 cuming suutb and No. 24 going north. No. 23 will leave New York at 9:15 p.m., arrive in Savannah about 5 am., leave Savannah as 5:20 and reach Jackson ville at 11:30 a m. No. 24 will leave Jacksonville at 7:48 a. m., leave Savanuah at 3:50 p. m. and ar rived in New York about 11:55 o’clock the following night. The additional train is not a fast train, but is simply put on for the accommodation of travel. Train No. 27, which makes the trip between New York and Savannah in 29 hours, will continue to be the tost train. No change is made m the schedule of trams Nos. 27 aud 14 on nooouut of the addition. The addition of No. 23 was necessary to meet tbe i equirements of the heavy travel south, whicu is already sb large as to create remark. The arriv Is in Jacksonville of late have been unusually heavy, from 15U to 2i)o passengers arriving daily by the Coast Line. Parties c 'mm* south on tbe fast train this week res port tbe train so crowded that seats were obtaiued with difficulty, aud passengers from local pouits in many cases were obhged to stand up. The crowds inclu le large numbers of hotel people and others having interests in Florida, besides large numbers of commer cial tourists, as well as tbe winter tourists, who are already moving south in consid erable numbers. Many sportsmen are included among the early arrivals, coming down iu parties of six to a dozen with all the sport m u’s equipn’enti ready to make war upon Florida garno. Parties arriving from tbe north in the last few days report that there is a general anticipation of a severe winter and that larger number) of people are looking to ward the south as a refuge for the winter than ever bef. re. As soon as tbe cold weather sets in the movement south will be very heavy. The De Soto's list of arrivals have been very good of lale, numbering from thirty to fifty a day, and even higher. SAYS HE WAS DAMAGED SI,OOO. An Interesting Suit Tried in the City Court Yesterday. An interesting damage suit was tried in the city court yesterday. Marion Baughn sued Henry Sack for SI,OOO damages for false imprisonment. Several months ago, while Baughn was employed as an extra conauctor with the Belt Line, be managed to get Sack’s son, a small boy about 12 years old, indebted to him to the amount of $2 50. He told the boy one day that be must get bim tbe money, and tbe little fellow went home and stole a S2O gold piece from bis father. This he gave to Baughn to take out his $2 50. The conductor went to the office of the company and had the piece changed, giv ing, as be claims, sl7 50 back to Sack’s son— a $lO bill, $5 bill and $2 50 iu silver. The boy, on the othc r had, when his father dis covered the theft, said that Baughn had kept all the money except $5. Sack promptly had Baughn arrested for re ceiving stoleu goods, aud he was committed to jail, where he remained several days be fore securing a bond. Through the inter vention of friends Sack dropped tne crimi nal prosecution and withdrew his charges agaiust the conductor. The tables were turned atonce by Baughn at this juncture, and be entered suit against Sack for damages for false imprisonment. On tbe witness stand Btughu insisted that be bad returned to Sack’* son sl7 50 change, and that tbe charge of receiving stolen goods which kept him In jail several days was unjust because be didn’t know the money had been stolen. The trial consumed the attention of the court from 1 o’clock until 7 o'ciock, at which time the case was given to tbe jury. Up to a late hour last night the jury bad failed to reach an agreement, and Judge Harden no tified it that a sealed verdict could be ren dered. W. W.Osborne.Esq., represented the plain tiff and R. R. Ricnards, Esq., the defendant. EVERYTHING GOOD IN MARKET. Inspector Desvergers Puts a Hig-h Kiting on eavannah’a Food Supply. Inspector Desvergors of’the Citizens’ San itary Association, in his report of inspec tions of food produce in the Savannah mar ket for the week ending last night, says that dressed beef, dressed mutton and dressed pork made an excellent average in quality. Corned beef, corn pork, pickled beef, pickled pigs’ feet, pickled tripe aud pickled tongues made a good average, also sausages and meat puddings. Poultry, both dressed and alive, made a good average, also fish, oysters, clams and shrimp. Vegetables of all kinds and green fruits made an excellent average aud were abundant. Venison and game were limited in quantity but of good qualitv. Changes In the Mails.

Too Free With H a Pistol. Sam Jackson (colored) was lodged in the barracks last night for being drunk and disorderly and firing a pistol at Hunting don and East Broad streets. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. Whan she bad Children, she gave them Casvorif LUNA’S TIME TO BLUSH. The Moon to Hide Her Face an Hour end Twenty-four Minutes To-night The total eclipse of tbe moon to night will be an event of a good deal of Interest in the astronomical world and incidentally the world at large. At least that portion of it aronnd Savannah will be on hand to see what is going on. If the weather bureau's forecast is true everything will lefavoratle for the phenomena. The eclipse, as it will be seen in Savannah if the weather is clear, will begin at 4:59 o’clock this afternoon when the muon will enter the shads*. The total eclipse will begin at 6:01 o’clock. The middle of the eclipse will be at 6:43 o’clock. The total eclipse will end at 7:45 o’clock, and the moon will leave the shadow at 8:27 o’clock. That will end it. The worst feature abmt the eclipse is that, occurring at the hour at which is is booked to occur, it :s likely to interfere with eburch-g"i >? people. Those who ara anxious to see tne phenomena, though, can take in tbe most of it and yet get to church on time by observing the end of the total eclip eon their wa y to church. It will take just one hour and twenty-four min utes for the mo n to pass through the con ical shadow that the earth casts out indefi nitely into space. Lunar eclipses as a general thing, may be said to have outlived a large share of the real use to which they used to be put before till) science of astronomy was in such an ad vanced stage as it is to-day, and no newfacts of any importance are likely to be unearthed by toe coming observations. The only thing they will do will be to corroborate some foe sand figures that are already pretty well established. One of the bes' proofs of the rotundily of the earth used to be tb it no matter what the position of the earth might tie at tbe time of an eclipse the shadow that was cast upon tbe moon was invariably a round one. It has been some t me sine • any ooe bos main tained with filtering success that tbe earth ■w as any other shape than round, and it is hardly to be expected that anybody will de vote much time to noticing what tbe shape of the shadow w.il be this time. When them on is in eclipse it acts pre cisely as a soieon, and the stars that aro in such a posit on that the moon comes between tbe earth and hem are blotted out in sta tly or occulated, a) the astronomers call it. When the moon is darkened this way many stars in that part of the heaven* that are usually invisible when the moon is shining, on acc unt of tbe superior light of that body, oome out clearly and may oe observed as :h>y pass behind the moon. Then stars may be seen down to the ninth or tenth magnitude, while under ordinary c.roumstanoes the second or third are about as small as could be ob served. To-night upward of thirty stars, varying in size from tb“ sixth down to the eleventh magnitude, will occult with the moon. The exact point of each star’s occulation is computed so ne time bafoie an eclipse. Ths time that elapses between the moment a star disappears on one side of the moon and comes out on the other is carefully noted, and as the : rack of tbe star is known, the velocity of the moon ami all that, it be -a mathematical possibility for those who know how to figure out the sixe of the moon.

A JOLLY LOT OF ATTRACTIONS AT Ta£ THEATER “Mr. Wilkinson’s Widows,” With a Georgia Lady As One of the Wid ows, the Opening Performance—"Mr. Barnes of New York" Next, and Gay and Frisky Verona Jarbeau and Her Pretty Girls to Follow. The coming week at the theater will be devoted principally to comedy, with the exception of one performance, that of "Mr. Barnes of New York." Monday Night “Mr. Wilkinson’s Widows.” Tuesday Night—“Mr. Barnes of New York.” Wednesday and Thursday Nights— Verona Jarbeau in “Starlight." “Mr. Wilkinson’s Widows," in which Sa vannah people have an interest because of Miss Nina Heyward’s connection with it, will be the opening attraction to morrow night Savannah theater-goers will be in troduced to the play for the first time. It is the product of that inimitable play-eriter, Gillette, better known here as "The Pro fessor.” “Mr. Wilkinson’s Widows.” of whom there are two, come with the imprlut of Charles Frobman, which, as all play goers know, is a guarantee of something un usually good, and with the prestige of an unusually successful run in New York. If anything were needed to emphasize the assurances of a clever and artistic presenta tion it Is tbe faot that Sanford H. Cohen of Augusta and Atlanta, vouches for the ex celled e of the oomedlans to whom the in terpretation of the play is intrusted and who will present it here. The plot results from the bigamy of a wealthy old man of busiuess. Each of two charming young wpmsn. whom he has married, believes herself to be his sole and only widow. Each has consoled herself with a young and hand some husband, and when the curtain rises both couples, bv a coincidence, are living in separate apartments of the same flat house. Here is the basis of natural entangle ments, and no end of laughable situations before the final eclaircissement. Miss Nina Heyward, who takes the part of “Mrs. Dickerson” is a charming young woman. She has a large family connection in Savannah aud mauv friends’here. Hbe is a hands une and talen'ed Woman whose suc cess on the stage is assured. Her rise in the profession has been rapid. Two years ago her ambition and love of independence prompted her to go upon the stage, and she made her debut at tbe New York Casino as “Falette” in •’Naije.” Last sea son she filled an engagement with "Russell’s Comedians,” and this year is tak ing one of tbe leading parts in “Mr. Wilk inson’s VVid jws.” The p'irt which she fills is one that depends for lis success greatly upon tbe work of the actress herself, being in faot just what sbe makes it, and it is a part which Miss Heyward is well qualified to fill. Her acting is svmpathetic. and her accent alone is sufficient to establish per fect harmony between herself and tier audience—especially if the audience be a southern one. 1 his is Miss Heyward’s first appearance in tbe south as an artiste, and sbe has been warmly received everywhere. There is no doubt of the reception she will have in Sa vannah. “Mr, Barnea of New York.” “Mr. Barnes of New York” will be seen Tuesday night for the first time in Savan nah, Among the many writers of books and plays who have added so prolifically to the literature of the present day Archibald Clavering Gunter stands among tho leaders. "Mr. Barnes of New York” quiokly out stripped all oompe itors for public approval, and few novels with an American imprint have been published which contained the dramatic qualities of Mr. Gunter’s firs! novel. Its stage reproduction was readily sum ised and Mr. Gunter in his adaptation of the story has given to the theater-goers a comedy quite as pieasi g as was its pro totype to the readers of current literature. "Mr. Bames of Now York” is even more Americanized in the play, which is a pleas ant feature. The leading characters of the play wil be cast as follows: “Marina Paoli,” Miss May v\ heeler; “ Enid Anstruther,’’ Miss Emma Field; “Lady Cbartris,” Miss Clara Verner; “Maud Cbartris,” Miss Lola Bertetle; “Mr. Barnes,” Mr.HugoToland; “Count Danella,” Mr. Sheridan Blook; “Edwin Anstruther,” Mr. Coulter Brieker; “Tonasso Monaldi,” Mr. Charles Lauib. Verona Jarbeau In “-starlight.'’ Verona Jarbeau will make her bow Wednesday and Thursday nights in “Star light. Miss Jarbeau is a favorite in opera corniquo. She was seen here last year and made the opening hit of the season. "Star light” was written for Miss Jarbeau’s debut as a star. Tbe plot describes a musical “crank” in search of aprima donna, Ha dis ooveis a shepherdess with a voice, brings the rustic singer to America and arranges for her appearances at a fashionable recep tion. The result is, of course, a medley en tertainment. sorg succeeding dance, aud each chr.racier makes at least four changes ofcosiume in each act. One charm of “Starlight” is the bevy of pretty girls who are engaged in it, Mias Jaroeau hoi self be ing the leader. Jarbeau and her peculiar, pert, Frenchy methods are well known tithe theater pub lic. Certainly she is one of the most capa ble aud entertaining artists in her line, and in several respects stands al ne. During the play Miss Jarbeau introduces her char acteristic songs and dances, tbe latter of which, without being th 6 least suggestive, are lively enough to catch even the most blase, and which have made her famous. The costumes arc elegant, the music bright and catchy, and the play may be safely de pended oil as furnishing au evening of pleasant entertainment. GOSSIP > F TH t STAGE. The German actor. Matkowsky at pres ent starring at Amberg’s theater, has been made peunilosi by the failure of Friedlander & Sommerfeld, bankers iu Berlin. The savings of his lifetime amounted to 120,0U0 marks. Augustin Daly has got himself rather dis liked m certain literary circles in London. His crime ts that he has presumed to turn the poet laurate into au advertising medi um and want of taste is something English ■ jpeople never forgive. There was especial interest in the per formance of "Is Marriage a Failure” at the Ampbion in Brooklyn, last Tuesday, for Mr. Robson aud his leading lady, May Waldron, were married a few hours before the curtain rose. The ceremony was per formed by a magistrate in the governor’s room at the New York city hall. Mr. Robson can have no heartier good speed than the expression of hope, on tbe part of his friends, that his married life will be as happy as his professional life is success! ul. Theater parties promise to bo more popu lar this season than ever iu large cities. One of the prettiest parlies of the Chicago season was called a “violet party,” and con sisted of thirty three couples, eacn lady wearing a violet-trimmed hat, a spray of violets in her corsage and each carrying a violet fan. It was as unique as it was beau tiful, and has been largely copied in other cities. During the engagement of Salvini at Chattanooga, where he opened his pres ent southern tour, a rose party was one of the features of the occupants of the boxes aud one that was greatly admired. The fad is a pretty one and one that makes theater goers thoroughly enjoy themselves for the novelty of the situation and the pleasure of social companionship between the acts. _____ Rev. J. W.
