Chatham county's contributions to the
decorations for the Chicago monument to
the confederate dead will leave the city
to-day via the Central railroad at 2 o’clock.
The car could not leave yesterday, as it
was not ready in time for the fast through
schedule.
The car, which is one of the refrigera
tor ventilated kind, furbished by Messrs.
Nelson, Morris & Cos. of Chicago, was
taken to Tybee Tuesday. The Tybee Beach
Company gave the veterans permission to
cut the palmettos, pines and other ever
green plants on the island, with which to
till the car.
From Tybee were gathered twenty
four palmetto trees in good condition, and
something over 100 small pine saplings,
and about twenty-live Spanish bayonets.
With these were put in a lot of mossand
wild srnilax. Besides these there were
placed in the car about 800 laurel wreaths
the work of making which represents the
contribution of the ladies of the Ladies'
Auxiliary to the Veterans’ Association,
and the Daughters of the Confederacy,
several members of which organization as
sisted in the work. The ladies worked
steadily for two days, Monday and Tues
day. and until a late hour of the night
in order to get the wreaths ready in time.
They were packed lntp the car yesterday,
when it was sealed up and made ready for
transportation.
Chairman Clement Saussy and Secretary
J. Gardner of the memorial committee of
the Confederate Veterans Association
were appointed a committee to see to get
ting the evergreens to till the car, and they
have done some pretty hard work in order
to get it ready in time. Mr. Gardner per
sonally superintended the cutting of the
palmettoes and other trees on Tybee, se
cond the laurel and materially aided in
the making of the wreaths. He has work
ed like a trojan for the last three days
in order that the project might be suc
cessfully carried out and u>s efforts and
those of Ids associates on the committee
hav been rewarded.
A banner extended the whole length of
the car has been placed on each side upon
which has been printed the following in
scription: "Confederate Veterans of Sa
vannah. (la., send this car of sub-tropical
plants as their offering to the dedication
of the Confederate Veterans Monument
at Chicago.'
It Is expected that the car wOl reach
Chicago Oil Tuwday. It will be given free
transportation by all the railroad lines
over which it passes, and will be followed
by telegraph through Superintendent of
Transportation F. S. Jette of the Central
so that it will not be side-tracked on the
way. ,
The wreaths will be used to decorate
the graves of the confederate dead buried
near Chi. ago. As an additional contribu
te'"' 1- nnn magnolia bnds about two-thirds
matured will be forwarded on Saturday by
the Southern Express Company free of
charge, and these will reach Chicago about
the same time as the car that leaves to
day.
A- an evidence of the interest that Is
being taken in the work, and the apprecia
tion of any aid extended, by those who are
taking part in it in Chicago, the following
letter is given:

Hoping that 1 may have the pleasure of

AA m. Cannon Institutes Proceedings
to Stop the Delivery of tt Ilorse.
There has been a little row over the raf
fling of a pair of carriage horses, which
has gone into the courts for an official de
termination as to who is the winner of
one of the animals.
Mr. Joseph Inglesby had a pair of horses
to raffle. There were 300 changes on them,
from 1 cent to $3. according to the ticket
drawn. The raffle took place a night or
two ago at Mr. Pat Manning’s place, and
was progressing all right when the num
ber 172 was reached, and no owner of the
number appeared whn it was called.
The number was auctioned off and the
purchaser made npthing. The plan on
which the raffle was being conducted was
that the man throwing the highest num
ber was to have his pick of the horses,
while the lowest throw was to win the
other horse. Mr. Thomas Cooley threw 17
and had several bids on his chance as the
lowest, one going as high tyi SSO. The af
fair was progressing quietly when Air. Wil
liam Cannon entered and announced that
he held number 172. There was some pro
test against this at first, but he was finally
allowed his chance, and was given the
right to throw it last. Mr. Cannon c'aimed
to have thrown 17 and ties Air. Cooley,
the winner on the lowest throw. Some
others who were standing around insisted
that he did not throw this number but a
larger one.
At any rate, the horse was not taken by
Mr. Cooley yesterday. Air. Cannon em
ployed Air. W. E. Morrison to Institute
proceedings In his behalf and a ball In
trover action was begun in Justice Naugh
tin's court. Mr. Cannon Insists that he
tied Air. Cooley on the lowest throw and
will not give in until he has tested the
matter in the courts. It will be interest
ing to see what a court of justice will do
with a case of horse raffle.
AO MONEY TO MEET THE CHECKS.
A Transaction a Brooklyn Hank Does
Not Vmlerstaml.
The Hamilton National Bank of Brook
lyn, N. A'., has notified the Brooklyn police
that checks drawn on the hank to the ord
er of T. C. Burge arc being received from
various southern banks where they have
been deposited by persons in wfiose favor
they are made, Burge having no funds in
the bank.
The New York Sun says: “On Nov. 22,
1884, Christopher and T. C. Burge, broth
ers, who owned soap works at 2!l Vine
street, Brooklyn, opened an account in the
Hamilton Bank in that city, making a de
posit of SBOO. In a few days they were re
quested by the bank to withdraw the
money. T. C. Burge represented that there
were some checks out and he was allowed
to leave SIOO on deposit to meet them. On
Fell. 27 the account was closed for good.
"Since that time checks for amounts
ranging from sls to $250, drawn on the
Hamilton Bank to the order of T. C.
Burge, have been received from southern
banks where they were deposited by the
persons in whose favor they were made
The National City Bank of Brooklyn has
received checks calling for $575, the Brook
lyn Bank checks calling for sllO, the Long
Island Bank one check for sls, and the
American Exchange National Bank of
New York one for SSO. The checks were
all drawn at Savannah, Ga.
"Cashier AV. A. Conkling of the Hamilton
Bank called at police headquarters in
Brooklyn and called the attention of Su
perintendent McKelvey to the matter. He
will communicate with the police authori
ties of Savannah.
“T. C. Burge has not been at the A'lnc
street soap works for several months,
and it was understood that he had gone
south to engage in business. He and his
brother had a good reputation, and their
friends are confident a satisfactory ex
planation will be forthcoming about the
check transactions.”
REMEDY FOR PEAR BLIGHT.
llovv n Pear Grower Saved His Crop.
Editor Morning News: I see complaint
about the pear blight in Bryan county,
Georgia. In 1893 my trees were filled with
blooms and then with fruit. The blight
came on leaves, limbs and fruit and
threatened the entire destruction of the
orchard.
I mixed 1 pound of sulphur for each
tree, with lima, at the rate of G pounds
sulphur and 1 peck of lime to 30 gallons
of water. The lime makes the sulphur
mix with the water. Then I sprayed the
frees with a rubber pump. I left the
leaves, the upper and lower part speckled
with sulphur and lime. For weeks it re
mained on the leaves and in cloudy
weather you could smell the sulphur dis
tinctly. Less sulphur and lime might do.
The result was an abundant crop of very
fine fruit, some of the limbs buckling and
reaching the ground. I did not have time
to spray the trees last season and lost the
fruit. Pressed for time this season I have
not yet sprayed, but will a little later.
Sulphur is the best insecticide I know, and
is harmless and cheap. It is a wonderful
tonic, tones up the system ami keeps off
insects and cholera. The time has come
in the south when no fruit or vegetables
will be raised without the use of insecti
cides. The multiplication of orcharchs
multiply insect life. Tell the Bryan coun
ty people in your widely circulated paper
to use sulphur and lime. They will find
rain does not wash out the application.
It fact, so much lime and sulphur goes on
the bottom of the leaves that it is perfect
ly safe from rain. Amateur.

Two negroes, charged with wrecking
train 23 on the Charleston and Savannah
railway last Friday night, were arrested
night before last at Jaeksonboro, and
were taken to Walterboro, S. C., jail yes
terday.
The wreck, a full account of which
has been given in the Morning
News, was caused by drawing the
spikes from several rails at the culvert at
the thirty-eight mile post, by which the
train was made to jump the tracks. For
tunately the guard rail on the trestle
threw the locomotive and the passenger
coaches back on the track, but the express
and baggage cars went into the ditch. The
mail clerk and his assistant were seri
ously injured.
The negroes under arrest refused to give
their names, but the leader was called
Alike by his associates. He gave away the
particulars of the outrage to one whom
he thought was a criminal like himself,
and that led to his arrest. The other negro
was arrested on suspicion.
Immediately after the wrecking
of the train the railroad authori
ties put Detective Cheatham of
the Plant system service at work on the
case. He went to Jaeksonboro with
one of his colored assistants. A clew was
soon obtained and the colored de
tective joined a crowd of negroes in which
was the suspected train wrecker. He was
soon "hale fellow well met" with the
man. They told each other of the scrapes
they had been in and the train wrecker
told of his exploit on Friday night. He
.said he broke open the section master's
house and got a crowbar with which he
pulled out the spikes. He expected the
whole train to go oft the track when. In
the confusion and darkness, he would rob
the dead or helpless people aboard of It.
All the cars, however, were not thrown
oft the track, and the passengers and
train men rushed out so quickly that he
could do nothing, lie added that he would
try his hand again last night, and ex
pected to make a better Job of it. The de
tective and several other negroes agreed
to join him in wrecking the train. The
fellow and another in the crowd were at
one arrested.
The negro Is unknown in the
neighborhood of Jaeksonboro, never
having been seen in that locality before
the wreck. The only name he is known
by is Mike. He is apparently one of the
thousands of tramp negroes who are
wandering ovA- the southern states com
mitting all manner of crimes anil whose
numbers are occasionally reduced by a
lynching. They are absolutely without
conscience and think nothtng of commit
ting the most infamous crimes.
The people in the vicinity of Jackson
boro believe that six or seven persons
were engaged In the train wrecking, but
the negro Mike claims to have done the
work by himself.

A Famous Suite at AA iuilsor.
In Chicago's "Home Salon.”
From St. Haul’s.
No suite of rooms at Windsor Castle is
ever so much written about as that known
as the tapestry rooms, and about no suite
are there ever so many mistakes made.
The tapestry rooms are almost invariably
given to the crowned head who may lie
visiting at Windsor,and as at present they
are In the occupation of the Empress
Frederick, who is very fond of them, it
may lie appropriate at the moment to gl\r
the publie some real idea as to what they
are really like, what they contain, and
whereabouts in the castle they are situ
ated.
Access is gained to the tapestry rooms
from the south end of the grand eorridor
through a huge pair of double doors uf
oak. carved and glided in the Gothic style,
and panelled with looking glass. The sit
ting room of the lit lld suite Is' deeply em
bayed between the square twin towers of
York and 1 jmraster, and lies directly over
George IV s gateway, ttlai grand entrance
to the castle which makes such a fitting
termination to the famous Long Walk.
The one bedroom and two dressing rooms,
which complete the suite, are in the lain
easter Tower, and are all small, odd in
shape, and anything but light. The view
from all the windows, which are set in
heavy stone muilions, Js directly down the
Long Walk, toward the Great l'ark of
Windsor. At this time of year glimpses
of the Model Farm, on the Datchet Rotul
and the cluster of buildings at Frogmore,
may be seen among the leafless branches
of the trees.
The tapestry from which this suit takes
its name is confined to I lie sitting room,
which Is not large, and is lit by an oriel
window at one end. The hangings are
in four panels two on the same side as
the gray marble mantelpiece, and two op
posite. They are set above a rather high
and heavily ornamented dado. Portraits
of the late Czar Alexander afid his czarina
fill the emptly places on either side of the
window, but living back to the light, they
are very difficult to see. A beautiful
grand piano In a rosewood ease stands
close by the fireplace; It won a prize at the
colonial exhibition here some years ago,
and does infinite credit to its maker in
Toronto. Avery fine cabinet, surmounted
with some good Dresden vases; an infinity
of little tables, covered with kniekknaeks,
books, photos, and many cosy chairs, up
holstered 111 small panels of tapestry, set
in a great border, make a comfortable en
semble, which Is heightened by the few
pieces of line sliver which are always
placed in the rooms when the Empress
Frederick is at Windsor.
A door In the extreme right-han l corner
of the room, and most cunningly cut in
the decoration of the wall, eo that It is
invisible, leads into the first dressing
room—a quaintly shaped apartment, set
in the angle of the Lancaster Tower. The
decoration Is white and gold, in spite of
which the room Is very dark. The furni
ture comprises a large maple wardrobe,
panelled with glass, and touched here and
there with delicate lines of gold, and two
large satin wood tables. The pictures are
most interesting, and explain nt once the
reason for the affection with which the
Kmpress Frederick regards this cramped
and somewhat inconvenient suite of apart
ments. The two most striking are like
nesses of the late Emperor Frederick, one
marked on the frame, "Christmas, 1807. '
Above one of the doors, which ur<> all of
white and gold, Is a charming picture of
a little boy in uniform; the canvas Is set
in an oval frame, and a small plate at
tached says: “Eldest son of the crown
princess of Prussia (Princess Boyal of
Great Britain and Ireland).” That little
boy Is now the Emperor William. Law
rence is represented by delightful por
traits of the unfortunate Queen Caroline
and her only child, Princess Charlotte. A
most interesting picture is that of the
present Empress of Austria, painted wiien
she was at the. bight of her beauty. She
Is clad In a low. white gown, with her
masses of hair unbound, and falling far
beyow her waist. Portraits of the late
Granduke of Hesse, Prince and Princess
Henry of Prussia, a large water-color
drawing of the christening of one of
Princess Alice’s children, and two excel
lent portraits of the old Emperor Wil
liam and the Empress Augusta, complete
what might also be termed a family por
trait gallery of the house of Hohenzof
lern.
The bed-room, which is next in the
suite, though small, is pretty In shape,
and the white-and-gold decorations lend
It an air of lightness. The bed is large,
and of Amboyna wood, and the uphol
stery of it and of tlie drapery w hich sur
rounds the bay-window is of heavy crim
son and gold damask. Two very beauti
ful Amboyna cabinets flank the small
fireplace, and the room is further enriched
by several eases of valuable minatures
which hang on the walls. The pictur s
include a delightful group of George 111.
and his family, the 111-fated Emperor and
Empress of Alexico, and Princess Vic
toria of Hesse.
The second dressing-room, which is be
yond the bed-room, Is principally remark
able for a picture of Queen Charlotte in
a white gown, surrounded by her chil
dren. painted by B. West. Other por
traits are those of Prince and Princess
Frederick Charles of Prussia. Princess
Frederica of Hanover and the Duchess of
Teck.
A Voice of Bygone Days,
Helen Wilkie, in Chambers’ Journal.
Could I but hear the voice once more
That thrilled my heart In days of yore.
Its sweet, pathetic, tender power
Would soothe my spirit’s darkest hour.
Before these notes of joy or pain.
The warbling bird would cease Its strain;
And hov’ring lightly on the wing,
Enraptured, hear Its rival sing.
Oh! wondrous power, sweet gift divine'
For which my wearied soul doth pine;
Oh! may I hear its sounds on High,
'Mid angles' voices in the sky.

Weather Synopsis.—The maximum tem

grees, and the minimum 57 degrees, or a
mean temperature being 60 degrees, or a
deficiency of 15 degrees. The northwes
tern area of high pressure, or cool wave,
now centers In the Ohio Valley, with di
minished Intensity.
Au area of low pressure Is moving In
from the extreme northwest.
The depression, or moderate storm, cen
tral thin (Wednesday) morning in the wes
tern gulf. Is apparently moving eastward.
Cloudiness prevails along the South Car
olina and Georgia coasts. In the Florida
peninsular, throughout the gulf states, in
Western Tennessee, and in nearly all sec
tions lying west of the Mississippi, south
of South Dakota and Minnesota.
During the twenty-four hours ending at
6 o'clock p. m., to-day, fair weather pre
vailed through the Little Hock and .Mem
phis cotton region districts. Elsewhere In
the cotton belt widely scattered showers,
mostly light, were reported.
The following heavy rainfalls were re
ported in the Galveston district: Colum
bia. 1.80 Inches; Luling, 2.20 Inches; San
Marcas, 1.90 Inches. P. H. Smyth,
Observer, Weather Bureau.
—ln Africa there exists a certain member
of the crab genus commonly known as the
great tree crab, says an exchange. This
peculiar shell-fish has an offensive triek
of crawling up the coooanut trees, biting
off the coeoanuts and then creeping down
again backward. The theory Is that the
nuts are shattered by the fall and the great
tree crab Is thus enabled to enjoy a hearty
meal. Now, the natives who Inhabit the re
gions Infested by this 111-conditioned crab
are well aware that the lower portion of
the crab’s anatomy Is soft and sensitive
and they believe that the "bivalve” was
thus constructed in order that he might
know when he had reached the ground
and when conseuently he might with safe
ty release his grasp of the trunk. So
what they do in order to stop his depreda
tions, whieh often ruin the cocoanut crops
is this’ While the crab Is engaged In nip
ping off the coeoanuts they rlimb half
way up the trees and there drive a row of
long nails right around the tree, allowing
an Inch or so of the nails to project. The
crab has no knowledge of disaster nor yet
of the fitness of things. As he descends
the sensitive part of his body suddenly
touches the nails. Thinking he has reach
ed the ground, he naturally lets go. In
stantly he falls backward and cracks his
own shell on the ground.
—The following is a story of an Incident
that actually took [dace at the marine bar
racks at the Charleston navy yard: A
soldier was one morning brought iiefore
the commanding officer, charged with the
offense of telling a lie to one of the other
officers. After the major had heard the
evidence he said to the culprit: “Do you
know what will become of you if you tell
lies to your officers?” The soldier quickly
replied; "Yes, sir; I shall go to hell.”
"Worse than that, sir; worse than that,”
said the commanding officer. "You will be
tried by a naval court-martial.”—Boston
