salted down barrels of bream, and many of
them are still oarrring load* of fish from
the shallow pools. Fish, flb, fish every
where greets the Bight. Soma of the
farmers are hauling them now for fertilizer.
Most of the lake land now dry belongs to
the state. It is extremely fertile, and
should it remain dry would be very valu
able. The dense grass, now dry and com
bustible, on the part covered with grass,
was on fire in several plaoes to-day and
will soon be burned off. Tuis was the old
feeding ground of the bream and trout.
west dry nr 1854.
Tbie lake went dry the last time in 1554,
thirty-seven years ago. The alligators,
which bad not been shot and harassed
almost to extermination as in late years,
were then very numerous and large. They
emigrated from the lake by the thousands
and scattered over all the surrounding
country, many of them going to the Och*
lockonee river, miles away. On one side
of the lake they tore down a good rail fence
in order to reach an adjoining lake which
always held water. The soft shell turtles
bad also been allowed to grow and flourish,
and some were so large that it required two
men bo put one of them in a wagon, and two
of them made a load. ...
A singular circumstance connected with
that outflow is that up to that time no red
gills were in the lake. It filled suddenly
two years afterward, when the fishing is
said to have been immediately as fine as
ever and red gills were caught and have
since been plentiful. This, if true, would
seem to indicate that the water returned
whenoe It had gone and the fish came back
with it and also the new comers.
SUBTERRANEAN CONNECTIONS.
It may be of interest to some readers to
state that such lakes as lamonia have con
nection with subterranean water channels.
As long at the opening in the bottom of the
lake remains open the water received from
any source runs out and the lake remains
empty. Finally debris of various kinds is
washed Into the opening, and together with
the mud and sand chokes it up and stops
the flow, when the lake fills and continues
full until the obstructing matter decays and
gives away, when the outflow oocurs again.
The rapidity with which the run out is
made depends, of course, upon the size of
the hole.
In some oases the flow is so great that a
whirlpool is created and a roaring noise
mads. This statement, if true, would of
course render impossible the assumption
that the water returns whence it bad gone.
The explanation of the presenoe of fish so
soon after the lake Ailed before lies most
probably in the supposition that It was filled
through a connecting slough from the over
flow of the Oohlockonee river, and the fish
ing was at first possibly not so good as a
little later. The red gills oame most likely
by the same route.
BROOKuYN'B WATER FAMINE.
Fifty Thousand Persons Thrown Out
of Work as a Result.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 33.—This city is
having a water famine due to the bursting
of a conduit on Saturday. The Brooklyn
bridge cable Is stopped and locomotives are
used to shove people across the bridge.
All the factories, elevators and hotels
using steam have had their water turned
off, and as a result 50,000 people have no
work. It will be at least to-morrow before
the necessary repairs can be made.
FLAMES BREAK OUT.
Before noon fire broke out in the three
story and basement brown stone house at
No. 237 Carroll street, Brooklyn. The fire
men had no water and began tearing down
on either side to prevent a spread of the
flames. Before much work had been done,
however, the flames were subdued by fire
extinguishers.
The residents of Brooklyn breathed a
sigh of relief when it was announoed by
Commissioner Adams to-night that the
break in the conduit had been repaired, and
at 8:30 o’clock water was turned on and the
water famine was at an end. The cable on
the big bridge was started soon after and
trains were again propelled by that means
instead of by the steam motors that had
been in use throughout the day.
|] INCENDIARISMS AT (COLUMBIA.
A Livery Stable -in Ruins—An At
tempt to Fire a Warehouse.
Columbia, K C., Nov. 23.—A desperate
attempt to fire the warehouse of Hudgins
& Garrison, containing several hundred
; bales of ootton, was made at Laurens to
night. Lint cotton saturated with kerosene
oil was stuffed in the keyhole of an outer
door. Ob the outside bales of cotton were
ranged against the door, and oomrnunica
[■ tion of the fire to the Inside would have

[detected, and R. H. Hudgln’s fired at
{them, but they escaped. An hour
plater fire was discovered looming from the
i roof of L. A. Koppel’s frame stable. The
, flames were soon beyond control and the
stable was destroyed. If the fire had not
been promptly checked the disaster would
have been fearful. Great excitement pre
vails, as it looks as if a systematic attempt
to dee toy the town had been made. To
night the town is guarded. A negro
named Horry Davis will be arrested on
suspicion.

REPAIR OF NAVY YARDS.
The Annual Report of Commodore
Furquhar.
Washington. Nov. 23.—Commodore
Farquhar, chief of the naval bureau of
yards and docks, in hisannnal report to the
Secretary of the Navy, says that the appro
priations for maintenance, repairs and
preservation have been so limited for many
years past that it has not been possible
to provide for the necessary repairs or
to arrest tbe deterioration due to
time and neglect; unless speedy relief is
given many of the public buildings,
wharves aud docks will be past repair. Tbe
commandants of the various navy "yards
and stations have asked for #461,392
under maintenance and for (817,-
711 under repairs and preservation
to maintain the naval establishments under
their command. The bureau has reduced
this to a total of $1,000,000 and hopes with
this amount, in another year, to have eve
rything in creditable condition.
NEW DRY DOCKS WANTED.
It is recommended that dry docks of
sufficient capacity to admit the largest
battle ships be constructed at New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk without delay.
The new uavv demands of this bureau ad
ditional wharf room, more dry docks,
better facilities for taking coal ou board,
aud appliances for haudling heavy armor
and guns. Contracts have been entered
into for immense traveling cranes at New
York and Norfolk.
It is also recommended that provision be
made for lighting the different yards by
electricity at the rate of one a year.
THE CIVIL ENGINEERS.
The number of civil engineers constitut
ing the corps of that name is regarded as
insufficient to perform the duties of design
ing, constructing and maintaining the im
portant engineering and architectural
works under the charge of the bureau, and
it is recommended that the corps be in
creased to twenty.
The bureau recommends the condemna
tion aud sale of tbe iron seotionnl dry dock
at the Pensacola navy yard.
It also recommends tbe acquirement of
property on the opposite shore of the Nor
folk navy yard adjoining the ordnance
yard at St. Helena.
The entire amount asked for by tbe
bureau for the next fiscal year Is $3.529,976,
of which improvements and increase of
the navy call for $2,329,776.
CONFEDERATES AT AUGUSTA.
Tbe Speakers Allude to tbe Confed
erate Flag Incident.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 28.—T0-day was
Confederate Veteran’s day at the Augusta
exposition, and was the biggest day the ex
position has yet enjoyed. The grounds and
buildings were crowded and the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed among the old veter
ans and younger militia who took part in
the sham battle, which was the feature of
the afternoon. Gen. Wade Hampton of
South Carolina, and Gen. Alexander R.
Lawton, ex-minister to Austria under
President Cleveland, were distinguished
guetts of the day. Gen. J. B. Gordon was
unavoidably absent. Maj. J. C. C. Black
of Augusta made tbe address of wel
come and responses were made by
Gen. Hampton and Gen. Lawton in behalf
of tbe veterans. Mention was made on sev
eral occasions during the day of the recent
letter of the commander of the G. A. R.
about confederate Hags. The tenor of these
was that the south’s loyalty to the flag of
this country could not be questioned. It
was hailed at home and abroad by Ameri
cans with the same fervor and pride,
wbether they lived north or south, but the
men who foilowod the confederate flag in the
bloodiest war the world nadever known and
made a record of valor and heroism that
was unprecedented, would never cease
to hail these tattered flags with love
and reverence. They would never be
craven enough to turn their
baoks upon their glorious record and mem
ories of the past, and the bravo soldiers of
the north would never expect it. This is
one country. The star spangled banner
and bonny blue flag are waved from the
stage on public occasions, and north
or south “Dixie” and “Yankee
Doodle” are cheered with equal
cordiality. It come with ill grace, there
fore, and behind the spirit of the day, for
any discordant tune to be sounded, when on
occasions of reunions of confederate veter
ans they bring out their old battle flag and
hail them with uncovered heads aud glad
acclaim.
The sham battle was engaged in by the
artillery, oavalry and infantry, and at
tracted a very large orowd. Nobody was
hurt, and tbe mimic warfare was ended
without a single casualty,
A special effort is being made to bring
Grover Cleveland to Augusta and telegrams
were sent to him to-night by Gen. Wade
Hampton and Gen. A. R. Lawton assuring
him of the worth of the exposition aud
urging him to come.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1891.
RYAN MAY GO TO A CELL
TEE SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS
JUDGE OOB3H S DECISION.
Under It the Defendant is Ordered to
Pay Over to the Receiver $121,000
in Money—Failure to Do So is to be
Construed as Contempt of Court.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23. —Stephen A.
Ryan, whose recent failure for nearly
$1,900,000 has been tbe mercantile sensation
of the year, must pay over to the receiver
appointed to take charge of bis assets
$121,000 or go to jail for contempt of court.
The supreme court decided tbe case this
morning, and affirmed the judgment of tbe
lower court The history of the Ryan case
is familiar. Mr. Ryau failed, and his cred
itors made an application for the appoint
ment of a receiver, which was granted.
Before Judge Gober, Mr. Ryan was asked
to show why certain money alleged to be in
his possession had cot been turned over to
the receiver. The judge held that Mr.
Ryan’s business showed that he ought to
have at least $121,000 in cash on hand and
told him to turn that amount over to the
receiver. This Mr. Ryau refused to do on
the ground that he didn’t have It. Mr.
Ryan went to jail and remained a few days,
when J udge Gober granted a supersedeas
until the supreme court could decide on au
appeal which had been taken, and Mr.
Ryan gave bond for $121,000 anl was re
leased. As stated tbe supreme court de
cided tbe contempt case this morning, sus
taining J&dge Gober and ordering Ryan to
jail unless he complied with bis order.
CONCLUSION OF THE DECISION.
In conclusion, the decision, which marks
a vital point in what will undoubtedly be
referred to as a famous case in time to come,
says: “In a creditor’s suit under the insolv
ent traders’ act, the judge of the superior
court, after the appointment of a receiver,
has power to order the defendant to deliver
to such receiver all his assets, including
money; and upon failure to comply with
the order after a demand duly made, the
defendant is subject to be attached for con
tempt for disobedience in not delivering up
a specific sum of money, found and ad
judged to have been in bis bands or under
his control at the time the
demand was made upon him by
the receiver. Imprisonment by virtue
of such attachment is not imprisonment for
debt, but for coDtempt of a lawful judicial
order.” Mr. Ryan says he has not the
money to satisfy the court's order, and that
he will not allow his friends to pay his
debts, therefore he will go to jail unless his
lawyers can evade that end, or tbe court
relents. How long he will remain there if
he goes is an interesting
question. The judge can keep
him there for life if he
does not comply with bis order and if he
cannot do this—not haviug the money—
then what* It is understood that an appeal
will be made to the United States supreme
court on the ground that It is Imprisonment
for debt. Next Saturday is the day upon
which Mr. Ryau is to make his answer, pay
the money or go to jail.

Prot Garner W 111 Visit the Gorillas In
Africa.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
. Washington, Nov. 14. —Prof. R. L.
Garner, who has achieved a recent oelebritv
in connection with the study of monkey
language, is in Washington consulting
with scientific men respecting an expedi
tion to Africa which be proposes to make.
For some years past he has devoted atten
tion to tbe analysis of simian speech, his
purpose being to produoe a lexicon thereof.
Onoe having established an understanding
of a few of the simpler word* used bv these
arboreal cousios of mankind, be believes
that it will be easv enough to communicate
with them intelligently. Thus they may
be educated in a limited degree, and may
be taught to be of some service to the
world.
Prof. Garner's present intention is to
learu something of the speech of gorillas.
These great a pee represent an elevated type
among the anthropoids; they are rapidly
diminishing in numbers, and it is desired
to secure a few last words from them, at all
events, before their kind becomes extinct.
Accordingly, he proposes to sail a few
weeks henoe for the west c„ast of Africa,
whence he will make his way into tbe Ga
boon country, where are vast forests, which
afford a home to the greatest numbers of
gorillas to-day.
WILL SHUT HIMSELF IN A CAGE.
He will take with him a large iron cage,
constructed in sections so as to be readily
transported. This cage is not intended to
catch gsrillas In. On the contrary, it is
meant to keep them out. Prof. Garner
proposes to occupy it himself, having set it
up in the midst of the forest. It will be big
enough to provide him with room to sleep
and to study. The sections will be con
veyed by carriers into the howling wilder
ness, where they will be put together. Neces
sarily, the cage will have to be massively
built, in order to defeat any efforts that may
be made by aggressive gorillas to pull it
apart.
In that region the forests at night are
kept in an uproar by the howls of gorillas.
There are the bachelors of the species,
which are naturally disposed to postpone
going to bed until moruiug, while the males
that have families keep au unrestful guard
at the foot of the trees where their wives
repose among the branches, in the intervals
of tbe squalling of the youngsters for lack
of ipecac and soothing syrup. Here Prof.
Garner will establish his roost aud try to
catch by ear a few suggestions of the lan
guage employed by these wild creatures in
shouting to one another. He anticipates
that the study be has already made of
monkey talk will be a help.
WILL FLIBT WITH THE FEMALES.
After acquiring by guess tbe meaning of
a few words he will make use of them by
taking part in the howls himself. By day
as well as by night he will make responses
to the yells and cries of gorillas that he
hears fa the woods, and he thinks that in
this way he will be able to attract certain
individuals, especially females, about him.
Presumably they will be favorably prepos
sessed with so agreeable an anthropoid as
tbe professor, and intimacies may result
which will afford moat profitable opportuni
ties for conversation. He will not venture
out of his oage, however.
Prof. Garner will carry along with him
eight phonographs and a gross of blank
cylinders. The phonographs will be placed
around the inside of tbe cage with large tin
trumpets fixed on their diaphragms and
pointing outward. If any gorillas approach
tbe barred luolcsure and have any remarks
to make of a hostile or amatory nature, the
eleotrio batteries controlling the phono
graphs can be turned on at a moment’s
notice, and the words uttered will be indel
ibly recorded for tbe future edification of
civilized lecture audiences. Eleotrio lights
will illuminate tbe oage.
