The past week made no very material
changes in tlie standing of the clubs.
Savannah lost first place, but two games
won by Savannah and two lost by
Charleston would again put her in the
KaJ. and so it is with the other changes.
l ast week New Orleans followed
Mobile, then Atlanta and then Memphis.
To-oa.v Atlanta follows Mobile, then
comes Memphis and then Now Orleans.
The other clubs hold the same places—
Mobile third, • Nashville seventh, and
j n the tail-eude£. Nashville and
Macon seem unable to get any standing.
In Macon’s case, her poor playing keeps
bcr down, Dut not so with Nash
vjUe. which has a good team.
Her pitchers may bea little weak, but this
is a sun rise to every one,as the same men
dni good work last year. At anv rate
tiiev are well supported. Nashville,
however, has played in hard luck right

Or.eans Memphis goes to Charleston,
Mobile to Macon and Nashville to At
lanta. They play in this position until
Friday, when Memphis then comes to
Savannah; New Orleans will go to
Charleston, Mobile to Atlanta and Nash
ville to Macon. They play in this position
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Savannah
will then go on the road, and will not re
turn until June (5, It is probable that the
next seven games which the team plays
here before going off will be good ones
and in Savannah’s favor for these reasons,
and as they are the last games large
crowds will probably go out.
Yesterday’s game was played with
great snap and was thoroughly enjoyed.
Clarke is getting, and very deservedly, to
be a prime favorite. His playing yester
dav called forth repeated applause and
several times he was obliged to
make his bow. Every man on
the team is playing A1 ball
and the batting is excellent. Pepper
pitched a remarkably fine game—the vis
itors only getting four hits oft him and
not one two-bagger or home run. The
game was an errorless one for Savannah,
which, in fact, is the only team in the
league, so far that has played an error
less game. The score is as follows:

Macon, Ga., April 2S.—To-day’s game
between Macon and New Orleans was de
cidedly the best yet seen on the home
grounds, and was witnessed by 100 people.
The evenness of the score throughout the
game kept interest at fever heat, and it
was anybody's game until the close.
Both teams played fine ball, and
Hoggins' Hornets, who had fallen
into such disgrace on account of poor
playing previously, are fast winning the
admiration and ehcouragement of the
home people, and ftext week will see
greater crowds at the games. The feat

Some of the crack riders of the country
will be here. J. S. Johnson, who has been
training here for the last month, Taylor,
Murphy, Dawson, and Hyslop, the Cana
dian champion, all of whom are in Torn
Eck's string of racing men. will ride.
The race committee has also received
assurances of entries from Augusta,
Charleston, Columbia and Jacksonville.
All of the favorite Savannah riders,
Osborne, Wilson, Groth, Leopold and
Connerat, will be in the race. A good
deal of interest centers in the men who
are now training here.
Taylor is 23 years old and has just
passed his examination at college in
Philadelphia as a physician and dentist,
and this season will, in all probability, be
his last on the track. He has been and
is now one of the leadiug lights among
the fast racing men, and on several occa
sions has had some of the world’s records
to his credit. When Willie W.vndle held
the record of 2:15 for the mile, Taylor
surprised the cycling world by reducing
it to 2:08 seconds, ana later on made the
world’s record at that time of 2:07. Tay
lor has won many races, and has always
been considered one of the hardest men
to defeat on the American track.
Murphy, of New York, is also a rider
of note and has won some of the greatest
road races run in America, notably the
time prize in the great Mil burn, N. J.,
race when over 150 men started. Murphy
has more than distinguished himself on
the track, and at the first part of last sea
son was a dangerous man in any race. He
has ridden some fast miles and is a game
handicap rider. This is his first season
south and he says the climate agrees
with him and he expects to ride faster
this year thad ever. Tom Eck thinks
well of Murphy and says he will give a
good account of himself in the races
north, May 30.
Dawson is only 18 years old. tail and
sinewy. He tame out in his first race
last year, and closed the season with a
number of firsts to his credit, among the
fastest amateurs in his state and New
York. In fact, he did so well that his
father, who is a wealthy real estate
dealer, closed a deal last winter with
Eck to take his son and see if
he would develop into one of
the top notehers. Eck bolieves
young Dawson will be the fastest class
A man in the east. He is a graceful and
quick pedaler, and can go all the way. He
is quiet and unassuming and attends
strictly to his work, —inch is one of the
things that pertain to the making of a
world-beater.
Johnson is too well known to cycling
men and to admirers of the sport to need
any introduction. He has been making
some fast time on the track, and
recently rode a half mile in 1:02. The
next day he made a quarter
mlie in twenty-eight seconds, and to-day
will try for a better record. Eck will
leave to-day at noon for Syracuse. N. Y.,
where he will have charge of the track
for the Spring meet on May 12. This
morning he will have his string of men
out from 9:30 until 11 o'clock, and in that
time Johnson will make a go for a record.
The outlook for the meet is very bright.
A special cheap rate of faro to the track
has been arranged by the Electric rail
way. Chairman Mercer, of the race com
mittee, is giving close attention to the de
tails of the meet programme, which is a
good one, and will bring out some fine
racing.
TO BRING PEOPLE SOUTH.

Circulars have been issued by Assistant
Commissioner Slaughter, of the Southern
Passenger Association, announcing a rate
of one fare on all roads belonging to the
association from all Potomac, Mississippi

iron-clad signature form with an extreme
limit of twenty days, and good for contin
uous passage cat‘h way. Stop-overs will

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. APRIL 29. 1894.
JUSTIFIED BY THE FAC IS.
The Grand Jury’s Deport on the Con
vict Camps Indorsed.
Commissioner Carson Says the Sani
tary Condition of the Camps Is Bad
and Favors the Building of New
Quarters for the Prisoners Where
They Can be Better Cared For.
“The.presentments of the city court
grand jury have simply upheld what Dr.
Charlton and myself have maintained all
along,” said Commissioner Carson yes
terday when asked about the grand jury’s
report on the convicts and the convict
catnps.
“I rather expected the presentments
vith regard to the bad sanitary condi
tion of the camps. They meet with my
approbation. The county raised $5,000 last
year for the purpose of building anew
camp. That money is now in the county
treasury, and can’t be used for any other
purpose. I favor taking immediate action
to establish this new camp.
“The Southover camp, of which the
grand Jury particularly disapproves, is
only a temporary camp, and will be made
away with probably inside of a month.
The convicts there will be consolidated
with those of Camp N’o. 1 by June 1.
“The presentments fully uphold and
justify the position taken by Dr. Charl
ton, and if he brings up the matter again
for discussion he will have all the back
ing I can give him.
With regard to tho whipping of con
victs, Mr. Carson said he favors some
change in the present method, as it is
no doubt left oiien to abuse whether taken
advantage of or not. He thought possibly
it would be a good idea to leave all tho
whipping in charge of one of the captains
or guards at each camp.
“As to the food furnished the convicts,”
said Mr. Carson, “I beg leave to differ
with tho grand jury. The food is good
and wholesome, and the rations are lib
eral and abundant. In evidence of that
statement it can be shown there is hardly
a convict taken off the gang who is not in
bettor condition than when he went on
it. I have heard of one or two instances
where negroes, in applying for work,
will say:
“Boss I’m in good shape now, I’m just
off the gang.’’
“There is no doubt that the system
there improves their physical condition
as they observe regular and systematic
hours in everything.”

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
Hiss Jenkins Discusses It to a
Charmed Audience.
Miss Jenkins lectured for an hour and
a half to a small but well-pleased audience
at the Guards armory last night. The
lecture was under the auspices of the
Bishop Beckwith Parochial Society. The
subject, “The French Revolution,” was
both interesting and instructive.
Miss Jenkins handled her sublet well,
and showed a thorough familiarity with
her work. She is an excellent reader
and a fine elocutionist She car
ried her audience through the
reign of Louis XVI., from 17.10 to 1793,

TARIFF COMPROMISE.
The Democratic Senators Devote the
Day to the Sugar Schedule.
Washington, April 28.—The democratic
senators who have been engaged in pre
paring the tariff compromise have been
considering the sugar duty especially to
day and have decided, besides fixing a
tariff of 40 per cent, ad-valorm on all
sugars and ©no eighth of- a cent addi
tional on refined sugar, to impose a
further duty of one tenth of a cent on
sugar imported from countries
paying a bounty to sugar producers
This last provision is supposod to be
aimed especially at Germany, where a
bounty is paid on beet sugar. It has beeu
decided also to extend the time when tho
sugar schedule shall take effect until
January, 1895, which will insure the
bounty under the McKinley law for this
season's crop. It is understood these two
provisions have been inserted in re
sponse to the earnest solicitations
of the Louisiana senators.
THE HOUSE NOT CONSULTED.
The democratic tariff leaders of House
have not been consulted unon the tariff
compromise made among democratic sen
ators. Leading members of ways
and means committee do not eveu
know the terms of the compro
mise. Representatives Breckinridge, of
Arkansas. Montgomery, Bynum, Bryan
and Turner of the committee made state
ments to this effect and most of the other
democratic members of the committee
are out of town. Representative Mont
gomery conversed yesterday with the
tariff senators, but could not learn that
formal compromise had been reached. A
leadiug member of tho wavs
and means committee said that
tho lack of information among the
House leaders showed that the senators
were shaping their bill to tho needs of
the Senate without reference to tho
standing it might have in the House.
From this it is concluded that the sena
tors will pass their bill in their own way,
and then depend upon a conference com
mittee to protect the changes they have
made from further alteration by the
House.
Y. L. G. HARRIS DEAD.
Hia Life Full of Good Deeds for Edu
cation and Religion.
Athens, Ga., April 28.—Judge Young L.
G. Harris died at his home in this city to
day. He was in his 83d year, and was in
failing health for several months. His
death will be universally regretted
in the south, where he has
done so much for religion and education.
Fifty years ago Judge Harris gave $5,000
for the establishment of the first Metho
dist church in China, and throughout the
south, and especially in Georgia, he has
built a number of churches and educa
tional colleges. His estate is valued at
$150,000.
JOCKEYS’ TASTES.
Some Incline to Champagne and
Others to Fine Clothes.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
“The popular and successful jockey has
very fastidious tastes,” said ono of the
old turfmen, as he rested himself against
the massive side wall at the entrance of
a big hotel the other night, writes a Ken
tucky turf correspondent. "Take Isaac
Murphy, for instance. He's a cjiampagno
fiend. 1 have known him to drink four
quarts at a single sitting. His love for
the sparkling beverage caused tho only
scandal he was ever accused of being con
nected with. It was when Tea Tray beat
Pirenzi and Murphy fell out of the saddle
after the winning post was passed. His
enemies said he was drunk; his friends
claimed he was drugged, but if the latter
claim was true he got the dose in a glass
of champagne.
“Freeman has a weak stomach, and
therefore is forced by nature to be par
ticular in what he eats and drinks. I
have seen hint after a hard race vomit
for half an hour. Many people to go
through such a nausea would be for. ed
to take the bed. but it acts contrary with
tho little Irish jockey, who recovers
quickly from its effects. Freeman is a
wonderful mimic. Give him a stick, and
Pat Grogan, tho trainer of Ethel Gray,
stands belore you, and an instant later a
hump appears on his back, and you sec
old man McClelland, the father of the
race of trainers. Ho is the Richard
Mansfield of the jockeys of the western
turf. Harry Kay is one of the dudes
among his fellows, a prize taker at walks,
while Soup Perkins is in his element with
a ham sandwich in one hand and a hunk
of popcorn in the other.
“Monk Overton is a typical southern
negro—flat nose, thick lips and the color
of ebony. Jordan is the tramp of the sad
dle. No street gamin ever neglected his
toilet more or cated less for the Broad
way styles of the day. A flannel shirt, a
torn pair of pants, a brimless hat, a rag
ged coat are good enough for Frankie
Jordan, but if anybody tells you he can’t
ride don’t you believe it. ‘Tiny’ Williams
is an everyday sort of chap, as is A.
Clayton, but well-behaved among their
superiors. J. Hill is another well-behaved
boy, as is Andy Pcrkinson, who has been
in enough accidents to have a piece of
himself in every hospital in tho big cities

FARMER JACKSON’S BULL.
It Stirred Up a Lively Rumpus in a
Quiet Rural District.
From the New York Sun.
Hammondsport, N. Y., April 21.—1f, in
some future ago, people then occupying
that portion of the earth near South Ly
ons, now circumscribed by a high board
fence and known as Job Jackson’s two
acre lot, should, in dredging or excavat
ing in its soil, come upou the skeleton of
a four-footed beast of goodly size, the
chances are that it will find an honored
placo in some scientific institution of that
coming time, and call for wiso and pro
found theories by future savants on what
manner of beast it might havo been—for
it is not likely that the story of Job
Jackson's bull will be handed down so
far as that into posterity.
It was only a week or two ago that Job
Jackson bought that bull a big, full
chested Durham bull. The bull came
well recommended as to evenness of tem
per and tractability, and cost $l5O. The
lormer owner of the bull was doubtless
sincere and honest in the character ho
gave tho beast, but lie had probably
never tested the compatibility of its teni
per with the prevalence of red wagons on
his farm. Farmer Jackson turned the
bull into his barnyard and went out every
day to look at him over the fence and feel
pleased with him and with himself for
buying him.
if there was anything on the farm that
Job Jackson prided himself on more than
he did on the bull, it was his flaming red
democrat wagon. The bull had been on
the farm a week before he knew that
there was a wagon of such sanguinary
hue close neighbor to him, for the farmer
had housed it in a shed on account of the
snow. The other day tho snow' having
disappeared. Farmer Jackson hooked his
team to tho red wagon and started for
town. He drove out of the shed to
the road, and then for the first
time, the bull was confronted by the
wagon, as it rumbled by with the full
glare of the sun on its belligerent glory.
The bull took this as a challenge and
accepted it. With a bellow that startled
the horses and shook Farmer Jackson
where he sat, tho bull charged toward
the road. There was a stout board fence
between him and the road, but the bull
went through it as if it had been a paste
board fence, and bore down with in
creased impetuosity upon tue wagou and
its bated hue.
Farmer Jackson did not permit his
amazement at this sudden outbreak of.
bull temper aud of bull to subordinate his
prudence, and he whipped his horses to a
run, thinking to distance the bull and
prevent possible unpleasantness. He
might have succeeded in this if the road
had not turned sharply to the right just
beyond the barnyard. On making the
turn the wagon was brought broadside to
the buli. and, taking a shortcut toward
it. the bellowing animal reached it and
struck it amidships. The shock careened
the w agon an 1 tumbled Farmer Jackson
out into the ditch on theotherside. The un
checked horses dashed on down tho road,
and the flashing of the red wagon behind
them was taken by the bull as further
defiance, and ho tore madly along in its
wake. Farmer Jackson arose from the
ditch unhurt and gazed with bulging
eyes at tho rapidly receding procession of
runaway team, swaying, bumping red
wagon, and furious bull. His hired man,
who came hurriedly upon the scene Just
then, says that his employer’s feelings
were such that his vocabulary seemed
inadequate to express just what tha
were, and all he could find it in him
say was:
"Well. I’ll be darned!”
Then Farmer Jackson and his hired man
started on the trail of the departing farm
stock, animate and inanimate. At inter
vals they mot sundry and various persons
of both sexes coming out of the fields and
over the fences back into tho roads,which
they did not hesitate to say they had
quitted in order that Farmer Jackson s
cattle might have more room for their
test of speed. In tho testimony of those
persons regarding the aspect that affairs
had presented, as the horses, tho road
wagou and the bull passed that way, the

preponderance of evidence was that the
procession could not then be less than
three miles ahead and still going, if wind
and limb were still intact. Subsequent
facts did not substantiate this testimony,
for wiien Farmer Jackson and his man had
traveled a mile in the wake of the pur
sued and pursuing live stock, they saw
something coming toward them a quarter
of a mile away'. As it drew nearer on a
trot, Farmer Jackson recognized in it the
bull that had suddenly put so much life
into the agricultural interests of that lo
cality’. The bull came along with a self
satisfied air that filled the farmer’s mind
with dire apprehension.
“That bull,” he said, “has butted and
stomped my red-wagon into kindlin’
wood, as sure as rooty-bagies. an’ tore
them bosses into shoe strings, I’ll
beta cooky: Maybe I wont lambaste
the pesky critter when he gets here!”
There is no doubt that Farmer Jackson
honestly thought he would lambaste the
critter, but he wasn't yet entirely posted
on all of the bull’s points. When the beast
got within a few rods of the farmer and
bis hired man he stopped, gazed at Uyem
a moment, snorted, shook his head, low
ered it, and then rushed toward them
with as much vim, vigor and fury as he
had displayed w hen he charged on the red
wagon from the barnyard. Now Farmer
Jackson's farm covers a good deal of
ground, aud be nnd his hired
man were even then opposite
a part of it that is known
as Job Jackson's two-acre lot. The pecu
liarity of this lot is a bod of quick
sand about twenty feet square near tho
middle of the field, around which a sub
stantial fence had always been maintained
to prevent cattle from getting into the
trcai herous hog. When tho bull came
down tlie road on the double quick, bent
on wiping the farmer and his man out of
his path, both of those individuals made
for the two-acre lot. got over tlie fence,
and started across the lot for the woods
on the other side. The bull followed. Tho
two-acre lot fence was no more a barrier
to his advance than the barnyard fence
had been, and ho went through it with
equal ease.
Owing to tho quicksand enclosure in
the lot. Farmer Jackson and his man had
to tako a rather circuitous course to
reach tho vantage ground they were head
ing for. The bull, probably baaing found
fences of such little account in his way
that it was a pleasure to him to pop
through them, took the short cut across
LIFE INSURANCE.
the lot to head the men off, which brought
the fence around the quicksand right in
his path. He struck the fence on one side,
and down it wont with a crash. Over
its ruins leaped the bull, straight upon
the unstable spot it had guarded. Instant
ly he was up to his belly in the treacher
ous mire, to which no bottom had ever
yet been found. Farmer Jackson and his
man saw the catastrophe. They knew the
bull was harmless then, and hurried back
to the spot. The bull was floundering
helplessly in the fathomless sand or mire,
and it was out of the power of the men to
help him. He sank rapidly in the pit,
and soon disappeared beneath the sur
face, which closed over the poor brute,
until the surface lav again as smooth as
if it had never been disturbed. The aw
ful fate of the savage animal did not
soften the farmer toward him, for he had
in his mind the supposed fate of his team
and wagon.
“Dodswaddlo him!” the hired man de
clares that Fanner Jackson said: “I
don’t know how fur down that bull will
git, but if I ever hear that there’s a bull
chasin’ red wagons in Cbiny, I’ll know
it’s him!”
Farmer Jackson and his man went back
to the road in time to meet Neighbor
Smith with the runaway team. The red
wagon wasn’t there. Neighbor Smith
said that it was strung pretty much all
along the road from there down as far as
his farm, a mile further on. The team
had banged and kicked it to pieces, and
when its flamboyant proportions no longer
challenged the ire of the bull he had evi
dently turned from the chase satisfied,
only to take up the one that broiight him
to his tragic end.
