SAVANNAH[JAS_ A SNAP.
Mobile’s New Pitcher Touched Up tor
Eleven Hits.
He Was as Wild as a Buck and Gave
Bight Men Bases on Balls—The Score
13 to 1— McGarr Makes the Only
Three-Bagger of the Same.
Mobile, Ala., May 29. Savannah
ran up against a pood thing this
afternoon in the sljape of one of
Mobile's newly-signed pitchers, Thorn
ton, who was as wild as a buck, and if the
Savannahs’ had not finally got impatient
and anxious to hit the ball, the first in
ning might be still going on. Three
singles, a double, a triple with three
bases on balls in the first inning gave
Savannah 7 runs, tho game, and the Mo
bile tooters the horrors. After that fatal
inning Thornton pitched fairly well, but
it was too late to retrieve the game. The
locals saved a shut out in the ninth in
ning on Lutenberg’s base on balls. Gettin
gers out at first and Foreman’s single ta
left field. Savannah did not need Umpire
Cline’s assistance to win, but they got it
Just the same.

FLORIDA’S LEGISLATURE.
The Australian Ballot System Re
jected-Director Depass in Luck.
Tallahassee, Fla.. May 39 —ln the Sen
ate this morning a bill was introduced,in
eor)s)rating anew express company called
tho Peninsular and Oriental. •
The revenue bill was passed and certi
h'“d to the ‘House, which immediately
turned it over to the printer with the
amendments. It .will be taken up to
morrow morning and considered by sec
tions. Among the amendment* is an im
portant one by Mr. Browne providing for
a 10 per cent, tax on the gross receipts of
all sleeping and parlor car companies do
ing business in the state.
DThe appropriation bill for 1898-’94 was
read the second time in full and heavily
amended, one addition being such as to
give i -ast ami West Florida seminaries
*I.OOO a year each.
.The election bill was road the second
t ime, showing the disappearance of the
Australian ballot system and the retenl
tion of the old 8-box feature. Under the
new .aw, however, lack of poll tax receipt
will not debar persons from voting in cases
w Aero such tax was not legally assessed
Uy reason of non-residence or age.
A large number of bills passed third
reading, among them being one preserib
ing the mileage of sheriffs; Mr. Harp's
bid conferring on married women the
right to dispose of property; one limiting
of county officers.
IN THE HOUSE.
Speaker Johnston reap pica rod in the
House this morning, having recovered
from his recent illness.
Hie business of the day was at once
ta ton in hand. Tho following bills were
piassed: One piroviding for the mainten
ance and working of public roads; pre
scribing a uniform method of examination
of school teachers; a bill to increase the
efficiency of the society for the proven
tion of cruelty to animals, and the bill
permitting the Florida Coast Line Canal
Company to surrender its charter to the
United States.
Two new bills came up, one authorizing
towns and cities to on ter into contracts
wl .fU gas and electric light companies.
Director J. I’. Depass of expicriment
station fame has arrived from Dike City,
attended by his usual good fortune. So
little now remains of the session that when
the matter of his alleged mismanagement
of the station and a resolution for his im
peachment or removal was reached this
morning it was informally piassed over,
leaving the reverend gentleman with his
head well above water.
, T’he convict question came upi again to
night on consideration of Mr. Morgan's
proposition to give £15,000 por year for
tho prisoners. Two other bids were en
tered, one by Lessee Bailey for $25,000;
whereupon Mr. Morgan raised bis to
$25,100. Another bid was made by a
third party, when the entire mattei* was
referred back to the board of state insti
tutions, which alone has the piower to
make a contract. It is expected that as
high as $30,000 will be bid.

County Sunday School Association.
Guyton, Ga., May 29.—The Effingham
County Sunday School Association will
celebrate its 14th anniversary at Spring

of wonderful advancement in the Sunday
school work throughout the county.
From the reports received the attendance
this year will be larger than usual.
Hev. W. C. Shaeffer of Savannah will
deliver the address.
The Guyton Base Ball Club played a

minutes after returning home ho remem
bered his wealth and placed his hand on
his piocket only to find that it'was not
there. Mr. Jones instituted immediate
and vigilant search, but failed to find
tho treasure until ho again returned home,
when he found it in his trunk, where he
has no recollection of having placed it.
The work of rebuilding the burnt dis
trict of the town is to begin at once, Mr.
Fields having already lot the contract of
building a brick store to Alderman Bros.,
enterprising contractors of our town.
HUNTING PIRATE GOLD.
This Timo the Islands Along the
Texas Coast are Being Plowed.
Velasco, Tex., May 28. —Nearly every
island along tlfe Texas coast, has its tra
dition of treasures buried by pirates.
I’adre Island is no exception, and for sev
eral weeks a party, headed by Henry
Shannon, a merchant of Quintula, and
Charles Newman, a coast trader, have
been making excavations on the island,
'guided by an old chart which they found
recently.
Yesterday they dug up several old gold
coins and medals at a pluee indicated cm
the chart and are now certain that im
mense treasure is within their grasp.
The coins arc dated from 1000 to 1780, but
the finders keep tho extent ami value of
the find a secret.
This discovery recalls the fact that an
old shepherd on the island twenty years
ago foundsevcral hundred dollars in coins
and took them to a village on the Hlo
Grande, where lie was robbed and mor
tally woundod by bandits. When found
he said !m had left a wagon loud of silver
and gold on the island and be was in'
search of a wagon to remove it when way
laid. Search was made for the treasure
then, but none was found.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 30. 1803.
FLORIDA LEGISLATIVE.
The End cf the Session Close at
Hand.
A Review bf Some of the Bills That
Have Been Passed and Some That
Have Failed—Personal Mention of
Members Who Have Distinguished
Themselves in One Way and Au
other—The Record That Has Been
Made and What is Thought of It.
Tallahassee. Fla., May 29.—The legis
lature adjourns on Friday noxt—and, if I
am not altogether mistaken, it will close
iqxm a session singularly ineffective and
barren of results.
I have no desire to appear censorious, I
object to severity on principle; but a due
regard for veracity will permit no man to
say of this legislature that it has made
the most of its opportunities and em
ployed to the best advantage its inheri
tance. A cynic—and they are to be found
in the most unlikely places—not long
since said, by way of yen ting his spleen:
“This legislature reminds me of nothing
so much as a victual admiration
society, in which every moniber is
animated by the lofty principle of you
tickle me and I'll tickle you. Bills private
and bills local have s w.imped the true
business of the public and any man lias
been able to git a Vote on any subject at
any time.”
This is hard on the legislature, but it is
a good deulJiarder on the public which
pays for a sncli a policy tinder the naive
supposition that it is getting the-genuine
article of democracy which7s by experts
commonly coupled with the name of
Jefferson. My cynic is not complimentary,
but he is not altogether wrong and the
public’s time and the public's money have
to a greatxtent been squandered upon
ends purely local.
Upon such measures as the Jacksonville
charter bill has been wasted more time
than they were worth, and in the success
of those who in this instance manipulated
the machine, others have found encour
agement lo follow a liko course. Last
Monday morning, for example, the Pensa
cola people took g turn at the wheel of
the ship of state and steered through the
breakers a brand hew bill, abolishing their
present “provisional municipality’’ and
conferring upon their town anew charter
similar to that recently given Jackson
ville.
The fight was hot enough, but it was
hardly interesting: the strength was all
on one side, the weakness on the other.
And here, too, was unearthed a petition
of peculiar interest, in which several
hundred citizens, with their names all ar
ranged in alphabetical order and all re
corded in tho same flowing hand, prayed
that the adverse conditions under which
the city has so long labored should be in
definitely continued. This amused tho
ungodly—were I to add that it was not
without its influence in determining the
result, few who know anything of a cer
tain political clique In this state, afflicted
with small views and smaller chances,
would dispute me.
It is a curious thing, hut it is neverthe
less a fact, democrats daily give voice to
their faith and in the next breath protest
against tho logical result of their pro
fessed principles. This legislature has
had more than one such doubtful breath
blown upon it, and there lias been seen
here nothing more significant than tho
obvious disposition to enlarge the powers
of the people and contract those of the
professional politicians. Based upon this
sovereign principle are such measures as
those making elective the offices of county
commissioners and members of the county
boards of public instruction; arid though
this session may not See their triumphant
passage into law to the-time of home rule,
the mere fact of thoir appearance upon
the political stage makes the next step
easy.
The defeat of bill 220 last Tues
day, together with the downfall of the
elaborate little structure erected by Mr.
Michelson above the corporations—all t h is
indicates the dissolution of the anti-rail
road crusade for the present, at leust.
That it will be revived can hardly bo
doubted; that it will again meet with
deserved (Master is even clearer. The
spirit, or the lack of it, in which thequos
tion is likely to lie carried before the peo
ple, is best illustrated by the truly pre
posterous resolution introduced by Mr.
Williamson in the Senate Friday. In itself
hardly worthy of mention,' this resolution
is valuable as an indication of the nature
of the reserve fund relied upon by the
commission cranks for success in tho
next campaign. It involves the incorpor
ation into the constitution of the state of a
clause providing for tho establishment of
a railroad commission as a part and parcel
of our organic law. Comment is super
fluous —almost as much so as the resolu
tion.
I have spoken of Mr. Michelson; if I am
not mistaken, I hiivc referred to him as
“the brainy and alert.” If so, let me say
that never did this young geutleman more
fully establish his claim upon those com
plimentary terms than on Tuesday last.
The occasion' was the slaughtering, not
only of House bill No. 220, but of his own
railroad, commission bill, introduced so
early in tho session that the simple head
board?! hove its legislative grave bears
only the legend, “House bill No. 8.” That
“the geutlemum front Madison” rose to
that occasion may bo seen from the fol
lowing words:
"Senator 'Williamson not long since
presented the senatorial household witli
an interesting infant which was chris
tened Senate Bill No. 10. The family re
fused to accept the waif and. left it lying
upon the doorstep of the House. Here
four Good Samaritans of that tody found
the little outcast. They soon carried it
to the baptismal font aul reehristened it
House Rill No. 220. Tlic bill now before
us is tho same infant as that the Senate
spurned, after consideration sufficiently
deliberate to Justify us in believing they
will do so again. Why, then, should we
waste time upon the measure!”
Equally felicitous in its way was Mr.
Michelson's requiem over his own com
mission bantling. Whatever else may be
said of the young Russian Jew who has.
by a singular combination of circum
stances, been sent hare as the representa
tive of Madison county, he adds to talents
far above the common that perfect com
mand of tempo rand resources which are
among tho longest arrows ill tho poli
tician's quiver.
Talking of men. reminds me of another
one of our representatives whose course
here has been such as to attract attention,
and in some instances to invito criticism
that has been by no means deserved. Few
men in tho lower house were lucre merci
ltssly lampoouod than Gen. Albert W.
Gilchrist of Do Soto; none havo since
then more completely established their
claim to consideration. Always in his
place, ah rt, energetic and with a tcm|mr
no legislative storm can ruffle, "tho gun-
Clemuu from I)e Koto” is a member who
will by ids associates be remembered long
after the memory of their ovhi perform
ances here has faded from I heir minds.
To him was dim “the previous question”
and the “motion to reconsider and
lay that motion on Hie table,”
which so effectually clinches a vote
rhicb 1 1 u,saved so much linns. It
was from him" too, Hint prooareiud tho
method of reuding Interminable corpora
tion blllsOj.v title only- a plan which the
House at first found objectionable, but
which Is now universally accepted. His
vlews an lo Uus advisability of all House
ami Hrnste corn mi (tees acting concur
rently were at first ii warded with tho
suspicion invariably invited by original-
Uy. Abu is thy vvu*u*vu lot. Loss tom
mon, but more to be admired, is the
unanimity with which those views have
since been indorsed, the harmony and dis
patch with which those committees now
walk hand In hand through a wilderness
of bills.
The due maintenance of all these points
necessarily consumed timo at the outset.
Hence the widespread irapressiou us to
Mr. Gilchrist’s power of taking time by
tho forelock and making merry with him
at the public expense. Asa matter of
fact, it was this geptleiuaji who intro
duced the resolution limiting loquacious
members to ten minutes a wide margin
for a member who rarely consumes over
five minutes at a time.
Many people here, contemplating the
tall figure ot this unique and interesting
personality, as, in the midst of some
heated dobato, bo suddenly arises in his
place,the revised statutes lying open in bis
hands, clear of voice, resolute of mein
many of those, I say, who have lent car
to the interminable debates in which the
House revels, imagine Gen Gilchrist—l
know not why—to be a man of northern
birth.
Nothing could be more erroneous. Mr.
Gilchrist springs from one of the oldest
planter families of Gadsden county a
family that has always been distinguished
and which ims numbered among its mem
bers governors, senators and generals. So
cially, np man stands higher here, none
luncheon more generally recygniied for
those companionable qualities which may
be envied hut cannot be had for the ask
ing. His position as inspector general of
the state militia has placed him promi
nently before the iieoplo, and it maybe
that In the days to come “tho gentleman
from De Soto” will win the distinction
prophesied for him by Representative
Rawls of this county, who duel.in’! that
tif will yet lie governor of Florida.
Another man who has made here an
impression that will not soon be effaced,
is Senator Jeff B. Browne of Key West.
In a retort of liis to Senator Broome may
be found the keynote to his character.
It was upon that memorable occasion
when Senator Marks’ bill appropriating
$25,(100 to the world's fair was on its pas
sage. Senator Broome luid cast his vote
against the bill, “because,” lie declared,
“the state was in debt,.” "And I.” cried
Mr. Browne, springing from liis seat,
"vote for the bill because the state ;s in
dabt.”
The point is sufficiently obvious, and I
cannot hell) thinking that the gentleman
from Key West had the best end of tho
argument.
Equally happy, In Its way, was his
defense of that compulsory pilotage law,
against which the gallant McKay has so
long thundered in vain; and to Senator
Browne, more than to any ono man, must
he ascribed tho defeat of u measure
which, in iny Judgment, had much to com
mend to the average intelligence.
The week just passed has been rich in
committee reports, some of which lire of
more than passing interest. Among these
1 place first that long and exhaustive re
port on the internal improvement fund,
which was yesterday presented to the
House by the committee of which Berry
of Escambia Ims been the chairman und
the moving spirit.
This is the first analysis of this fund
that has ever been drawn from the
original record, ratlior than from second
ary and doubtful sources; and tile re
searches so ably conducted by Messrs.
Hopkins and Carlisle, the efficient clerks
of the committee in question, have been
such as to very effectually refute the
scandalous charges brought against the
management of the fund by the third
party zealots during the last campaign.
It is a good report and it is one that will,
moreover, have a good effort.
A Sand’Storm at Waynesboro.
Waynesboro, Ga.. May 29.—A sand
storm passed over thi3 section of Burke
county yesterday afternoon, followed by
a heavy rain. The rain was badly needed,
but the sand storm attachment, while not
very destructive, fright rued all who
chanced to bo in its track, as thu wind
mude considerable noise.
Graves Out on Bail.
Denver, May 29. —Dr. Thatcher Graves,
the alleged poisoner of Mrs. Barnaby of
Providence, R. 1., was released on $3,000
bond to-day. The now trial was set for
June 14. but it is believed thut the case
will never be culled.
A Cyclone in Carolina.
Augusta, Ga.. May 29.—A special to the
Chronicle from Anderson, S. C., says a
cyclone struck the county early this
morning, doing much damage to crops
and farm houses, A heavy rain followed.
BOGUS PEOPLE INSURED.,
The Rev. Mr. Wilson Is in Jail For
Alleged Forgeries.
West Chester, Pa., May 28 —The most
enterprising Baptist preacher in Chester
county, as it appeared, was Km. Albert
It. Wilson, and he is now in jail charged
with wholesale forgeries. Until recently
he was an agent of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Association of North
America, but liis connections with the
company were severed and a detective
set to work to look up his record.
Hev. Wilson's pastoral services ended a
few months ago, when 'the people of
Downingtown urged him to leave that
place in such a manner that he thought
wise not to delay. He was tho pastor of
a Baptist church of Downingtown. He
came to West Chester and iu the First
Baptist church here appealed for help for
liis church and a collection was taken up
for him.
At this crisis Rev. Wilson plunged into
the life insurance business. It appears
that when subjects were not forthcoming
he wrote out policies for fictitious persons
and secured the commissions on them.
He was arrested in OU< ster and brought
to West Chester and given a hearing,
when it was stated that he had received
commissions for insuring 57 fictitious per
sons, whose residences do not exist. The
dotoctivo, in liis search, found that tho
greater number of these people were given
residences in Haiutor's big ice pond,
which is surrounded by four streets, of
two squares each, on the edge of town.
