Scorn In Full.
The indoor base ball gamcf lart ed off
vith a big hurrah last nigh/The game
wa9 a victory for the Y. M./• A. team,
the score being 6 to 5. /
The spectators began crowns the hall
long before the time for the/arne to be
gin and when it was called,ji® hall was
comfortably filled. Friends tfxjth teams,
l„ sides a great many Y. >!/■ A. follow
ers, were there, but the Y.t- H. A. ad
mirers were considerably iifhe majority.
There was an absence o/he colors of
the teams among the speptors, a fea
ture which characterized /e games last
season. It could not havfccn a lack of
interest which caused thjfabsence, how
ever, for the spectators/t'.ere unusually
enthusiastic and seemed / grow more so
as the game progressed./
Both teams looked wc'in the new uni
forms and put up a practice.
The Y. Ms H. A. wonjie game on their
merits and put up a .-jendid exhibition.
Their team work was eiellent and show
ed the result of hard lid mature prac
tice. Smith's pitching las effective, but
his control was not so fod. He was very
wild at times and gag eight bases on
balls. Kayton caught/ good game and
the infield moved likcfclockwork. Three
times the C. L. A. tim got a man on
third, with excellent nances of scoring,
wh eli they were unal£ to do.
Horrigan was not at,'ds best for the Li
brary boys, and he ws hit pretty freely.
The V. -M. H. A. boyjseem to be batting
unusually strong this season. Sullivan's
catching was good, 4' l Golden played a
bang-up first. Charpn let a chance go
by al second, Donnq, anew man, played
a great game at rift short stop. He is
fast on his feet an/ ought to strengthen
the Library team jjeatly. The individual
work of the LibraT team was good, but
they were lacking A' team work.
The game was <e of the prettiest ever
seen in Savannah,and was a good begin
ning for the leagq.
The C, L. A.’s vent to bat first and scor
ed one run in thirst inning and another
in the second, lie Y. M. H. A.’s scored
two in the secold, tieing the score, and
one more in thathird, giving them th©
lead. The Libriry team scored again in
ihe fifth, and th score remained tied until
the eighth inniK.
The excitemfit was at a great pitch
when the Y. J. H. A. boys went to the
bat in th? inning, and when
they piled up three runs their
followers shok the hall with their
applause, whik the C. L. A. people took on
a deeidedely Jjue expression.
The C. L. A. boys made a magnificent
effort to tie he score in their half of the
ninth, and there was a chance, until the
last man was out. They succeeded in get
ting in two uns and had a man on third,
but he died there.
Gordon Sarssy and Mariana Fapy um
pired the game and there was no kicking
of any amomt.
Tiie directors of the league wish to state
that: there was entirely too much noise at
the game. They request that the applause
be limited slrictly to the clapping of hands.
Ai the next game a policeman will be on
duly and this order will be enforced.

AT THE THEATER.
Rosabel Morrison in “Carmen” To
night— Minstrelay To-morrow.
iMiss Rosabel Morrison will be seen to
night in “Carmen." The name of Miss
Morrison is something lo conjure with.
She is the gifted daughter of Lewis Mor
rison of “Faust” fame, and has earned
her right to appear in a stellar role by
years of association with the traditions
of the stage. Aside from her histrionic
ability, nature has been more than kind
to her from a physical standpoint. She
has youth and beauty, which are most
valuable requisites for those who sue for
public favor.
“Carmen” is a character that requires
not only beauty, but must be imbued with
a sinuosity of movement that can never
be acquired. The successful exponent of
the character must be “born to the part”
—hence the success that has attended
Miss Morrison’s career as an exponent of
the character. Miss Morrison has been,
during her career, the leading support of
Joseph Jefferson.
To-morrow Gorton’s Minstrels will be
seen at two performances, matinee and
night. A notice of the company says:
“The show is remarkable in many ways.
It is clean in character, bright and humor
ous in dialogue, well-nigh perfect in in
strumental music and very good in spe
cialties. It Is, in fact, just such an old
fashioned pure minstrel show as the peo
ple like; such a show as creates laughter,
cures the blues and prevents gray hairs
and wrinkles. The jokes in the first part
are new, and the instrumental and vocal
music excellent.”
Susie Kirwin and the Wilbur Opera
Company will begin a two weeks’ engage
ment of opera Monday. There will be
three matinees each week, Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday. The repertoire is
as follows:
Monday—“ Said Pasha.”
Tuesday (Matinee)—“Said Pasha.”
Tuesday—“ Royal Middy."
■Wednesday—“Bohemian Girl.”
Thursday (Matinee)—“Bohemian Girl."
Thursday—“ Queen’s Lace Handker
chief.”
Friday—“ Carmen.”
“Saturday (Matinee)—“Two Vagabonds.”
Saturday—“ Two Vagabonds.”
Wilbur's Version of Erminie.
Miss Kirwin has been seen in the gems
of opera bouffe with much success. Her
versatility, ability and experience have
placed her in the rank of operatic stars.
The Wilburs have always been noted for
the completeness of their productions. An
entire new series of living pictures has
been added, and the marches and dances
which used to be received with such favor
have been revived on anew scale.
Y. M. C. A. CLASSES RESUMED.
Edncntionnl Work to Bea Fenture
From Sow on.
Now that the holiday season is over, th©
educational classes of the Young Men's
Christian Association have been resumed,
and the association expects a good three
months' more work from those in the
classes.
The branches taught and the teachers
are as follows:
Tuesday and Friday Nights—English,
embracing grammar, spelling, composition
and business correspondence; taught by
Mr. George B. Wood.
Tuesday and Friday Nights—Mechanical
drawing; taught by Mr. E. E. Davis.
Wednesday and Friday Nights—Book
keeping; taught by Mr. T. G. Reid.
These classes give a young man excel
lent opportunities for improving himself at
a very small cost.
The Bible school has also been resumed.
Three of the classes meet Friday nights
at 7:30 o'clock and one Sunday morning at
9:45 o’clock. Rev. O. F. Cook, the new
pastor of Grace Methodist church, has
agreed to teach the class made vacant by
the removal of Rev. J. T. Ryder. The
other teachers are Rev. John D. Jordan,
Rev. Arthur J. Smith and General Secre.
tary Johnson. Over forty young men are
enrolled as members of these classes.
MABRY’S TRIP TO BRUNSWICK.
Detective Barrett Saw Him Safely In
Glynn Jail.
Detective Barrett returned yesterday
from Brunswick, where he went with
Mabry, the defaulting agent of the South
ern Express Company.
Mabry was met by a large number of
friends, notwithstanding it was after mid
night when the train arrived. All seemed
anxious to shake hands with the unfor
tunate man, and that he had scores of
friends was manifest. After greeting only
a few Mabry was placed in a cab and
taken to the county jail, but was not con
fined in a cell. He was allowed to remain
with the sheriff, as stated in the Morning
News and because of the fact he was so
generally liked and had made himself so
popular with everybody, sufficient influ
ence was brought to bear to assure him
all possible courtesies.
On entering the jail, Detective Barrett
said that Mabry broke down completely
and wept. He refused to see any one and
had not even seen his wife when the offi
cer left Brunswick at noon.
A leniency has been shown by the offi
cials of the Express Company also. It Is
understood they requested the officer not
to hand-cuff Mabry on the trip unless ab
solutely necessary. There was nothing In
his conduct which called for such meas
ure", and the trip was made pleasantly.
It wus the intention of Mabry to give
bond at once and the probability is that
enough substantial friends have already
shown themselves to assure it. After bond
is given the matter may be continued un
til eventually the case will pass from pub
lic view. Sympathy is strong in Mabry s
favor it is said, and it would likely be a
difficult matter to find a Jury just now
that would convict hint under th© exist
circumstanaes.
MOKNING NEWS: FHIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1808.
THE YEAR WITH THE HEAVENS.
THE FIRST OF SIX ECLIPSES M ILL
TAKE PLACE TO-NIGHT.
One-Seventli of Lana's Face M ill Be
Obscnred For an Hour mill n Half.
The Eclipse to Begin lit 0:47
o’clock—Two Other Eclipses of the
Moon anil Three of the Sun to Take
Place This Year—Aspects of the
Planets During January—A
Glimpse Into the Mysteries of
Other Worlds.
While nothing of a very unusual ra
ture is predicted for those interested in
matters astronomical during the year 189S,
still there are several minor phenomena
that may possess some interest for the
public.
The first of these will be an eclipse cf
the moon to-night, beginning about dark
and lasting about one hour and thirty-six
minutes. The time of its several phases
as they will occur at Savannah, are cal
culated in 75th meridian or city time, is
follows:
11. M. S.
Eclipse begins 6 17 30 p. m.
Middle of eclipse 7 35 00 p. m.
Eclipse ends 8 23 00 p. m.
The eclipse will be a small one, only
about one-seventh of the moon's diameter
being obscured. The first contact will oc
cur on the eastern limb of the moon, 169
degrees from the north point, and the last
contact on the western limb, 142 degrees
from the north point of the moon.
The curving shadow of the earth pro
jected upon the moon will be plainly seenv
and this evidence of the earth’s rotundity
may be easily pointed out to the young.
There will be two other eclipses of the
moon this year, one July 3 and the other
Dec. 27. The former will not be visible in
this country, (but the latter will be a beau
tiful total eclipse, beginning about sunset
and lasting about four hours. It wi’.l be
plainly visible throughout North America.
There will also be three eclipses of the
sun, but none of them will be visible in this
country. One of these, which will be total,
will sweep over Eastern Asia on Jan. 21,
involving, indeed, nearly the entire land
surface of the eastern hemisphere. The
Chinese, who for many centuries have held
these strange phenomena in superstitious
dread, are already much exercised over
the coming event. The eclipses of the
sun are curiously connected with their re
ligion, and their royal astronomers for
ages have kept the emperors notified of
their occurrence. The present Emperor,
being notified of the eclipse of Jan. 21, has
recently issued a solemn proclamation
calling the millions of his subjects to their
religious duty in order to avert the im
pending wrath of heaven. It is not un
likely that the shrewder statesmen of the
Flowery Kingdom may take advantage of
this eclipse to arouse their more Ignorant
and superstitious countrymen to a united
opposition to the present threatened Rus
sian invasion.
It is well known that Columbus took ad
vantage of the eclipse of the moon on
March 1, 1504, to relieve his fleet, then in
great distress from want of supplies, by
demanding assistance from the islanders
of Jamaica. They at first refused, but
when they saw the moon actually disap
pearing from view they vied with each
other in furnishing the needed supplies.
The Chinese have records of eclipses
reaching back 2,128 years before Christ,
and one of their emperors put to death the
chief astronomers. Ho and Hi, for falling
to announce the solar eclipse of 2169 B. C.
None of the known comets are scheduled
to offer any popular attractions for this
year, though one of these runaways of the
skies is liable to pay us a visit at any time.
Halley’s great comet, which has made us.
a regular visit at intervals of seventy-six
years for more than two thousand years,
will not arrive till 1912, though the sharp,
eyed observers with their powerful tele
scopes have already sighted this Strang©
historic wonder approaching us rapidly
along Its smooth elliptical path. Much
popular interest will certainly be mani
fested in this comet in about fourteen
years, for its great size and in* near ap
proach to the earth has always been a
source of needless terror to the nations at
each return.
Facing the east at dark, the richest re
gion of the skies is presented in the con
stellation Orion, marked by the line of
three stars known as the “Belt.” To th©
south of this Belt a little way Is a large
bright star called Rigel, and about an
equal distance to the north is another
large star called Bellatrix. Farther east
and south Is Sirius, the largest fixed star
in the heavens, and north of Sirius, or the
“Dog Star,” is Proeyon, or the “Little Dog
Star.” Between Proeyon and the pole are
Castor and Pollux, the twin stars. High
up in the east is Aldebaran, the large red
star in Ihe V-shaped group of the Hyades,
and nearly over head Is Capclla, a large
white star in Auriga.
A little past the meridan In the zenith
Is Arietis, a star of the second magni
tude from which the ancients reckoned
celestial longitude as we do terrestrial
longitude from Greenwich.
About half way between Arietis and
Capella is a very wonderful star known
as Algol. It is usually of the second
magnitude, but every sixty-nine hours It
gradually loses about five-sixths of its
light, and in about four hours it recovers
its brilliancy. This variation in brillian
cy recurs with great regularity, and Us
changes can be predicted to a second for
any time. This curious effect is produc
ed by a dark companion revolving around
Algol almost in the plane of our vision,
and at each revolution this dark body
comes between us and Algol, thus partly
eclipsing it just as the moon eclipses the
sun. It is estimated that Algol is about
1,000,000 miles in diameter and its dark
companion is about 800,000 miles.
Tho diameter of our sun Is 866,5001 miles.
Here then we have an invisible sun, prob
ably burned out, revolving around a visi
ble one, or rather the two revolve about
each other, for true to the law of celestial
mechanics Algol is itself visibily swayed
In the giant waltz with its dark com
panion. And do other dark worlds exists
in connection with other stars? Unques
tionably they do. Indeed we live on one
of them, and every consideration of rea
son and analogy would lead us to con
clude that there are millions of unseen
worlds with endless variations of physi
cal conditions and boundless possibilities
of life and intelligence. Whichever way
we turn we find an immense life scarcely
guessed at envelops tts, and from the in
visible atom to the unseen star all is in
motion, moved by some mysterious power
to a destiny unknown to us.

MINERVA BROWN’S SLAYER.
Captured by I'ollerumn .Icrnigun In
n New Street House.
Policepian Jernigan arrested Pomp John
son, in Yamacraw, yesterday. Johnson is
charged with the murder of Minerva Brown
last August.
Very little was said of the crime at the
time for the reason the woman, who was
struck with a brick by Johnson, did not
die for several days after being struck.
Johnson seems have loitered around
waiting developments and did not make
any attempt to escape until it was seen the
woman would probably die. He then went
a short distance from town where he kept
under cover, but was no so far away, it is
said, that he could not ku“p posted on
developments.
Thinking the case was dropped and that
there were no witnesses, Johnson ventured
to the city. He entered from the Y'ama
craw side and had scarcely arrived when he
was spotted by Policeman Jernigan and
placed under arrest. The officer spied
Johnson sitting on a stoop on New street,
and fearing the negro would run, called
help in making the arrest. The negro
was covered with a gun and on realizing
the advantage of the police, readily sub
mitted, and made no attempt to escape.
The facts of the difficulty between John
son and the woman are meager, but it is
said there are eight witnesses to the af
fair, which will probably enable the cor
oner to thoroughly develop the facts.
DELANEY HAS NOT SOLD OUT.
Mill Helniu His Interest In tlic
House Drainage Contrnet,
•The report that he is about to drop out
of the house drainage contract here and
give up his interest to local capitalists does
not please Mr. Daniel Delaney.
Mr. Delaney Is the only one of the three
contractors who originally secured the
contract a little over a month ago who is
still interested in it.
“I wish you would state positively,” said
Mr. Delaney to a Morning News reporter
yesterday, “that I have not sold out my in
terest in the house drainage contract, and
have no intention of doing so. I shall re
main here until the work Is finished, and
perhaps permanently. I shall bring my
family here shortly, and am so well pleas
ed with Savannah that I shall probably
make it my home. You can also state for
me that th© Mitchell Construction Com
pany and myself have an equal interest in
the contract.”
Mr. W. R. Leaken, who is Mr. Delaney’s
attorney, also stated that Mr. Delaney had
not sold out his interest in the drainage
contract, nor had local capitalists secured
an interest in the contract.
WEEK OF I’RAYER TO CLOSE.

VIEWS ON TOURIST TRAVEL.
RAILROAD MEN DIFFER \S TO ITS
PROBABILITIES.
One Official Says the Movement Is
Not YYluit It Should tl,— Thinks
Tourists Arc Visiting Other Re
sorts—Another Snys the Movement
Is Strong—l 33 Were on the f iiteiu
nnti-Jneksonville Vestibule \ es
terilny—An official on Lumber
Loading Thinks Shippers Should
Benr Expense.
A prominent railroad official, In speak
ing of the tourist traffic yesterday, -aid
that it is very late this season in putting
in its appearance. “The tourists at. not
coming to Savannah, and tin y are not go
ing through in the numbers they sho t .1, '
he said. “Usually at this lime there is
strong movement, and many tourists
stopping over here for a few days' stay,
while all the through trains are crowded.
This year but few are going through and
scarcely any are stopping here. Thu a;,
not coming from the north, nor arc th. \
coming from the west. I do not know
what to ascribe the meagerness of th,.
crowds that go through unless it lie that
many more people than usual are going u.
other winter resorts. T expect thut Cal
ifornia is getting a good many more than
went there last season.” Another rail
road man did not agree with this state
ment. He said that the report from the
vestibule train over the Southern and the
Florida Central and Peninsular from Cin
cinnati to Jacksonville showed thai char,
were 135 persons from the north and west
bound for Florida points. This latter rail
road man takes a more hopeful view of tin
outlook and says the season will prohuldj
open up all right at the proper time. Th
proper time, he considers to bo the middle
of this month, when the vestibule.! trains
of the Plant sy'stem and the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular Railroad from N. w
York to Florida will be put on. Jan. 17
is the date upon W'hich these trains will
leave New York.
Maj. A. Pope, general freight and pas
senger agent of the Georgia and Alabama
Railroad, returned yesterday from u bus
iness trip to Atlanta.
Mr. Cecil Gabbett, vice president and
general manager of Ihe Georgia and Ala
bama Railroad, has returned to the city
after a trip to Atlanta, where he attended
the meeting of the lumber and railroad
meu.
Mr. D. F. Jack, freight traffic, manager
of the Plant system, went over to Charles
ton yesterday.
Mr. John M. Egan, vice president, and
Mr. T. D. Kline, general superintendent
of the Central railroad, will be back to
day from the meeting at Atlanta of the
railroad and lumber men. The meeting was
held on Tuesday at the Kimball House.
It had been called by the lumber men, who
had asked the officials of those lines run
ning through the timber regions of the
state to be present. The matter of load
ing long timber was considered, but an
agreement could not be reached, and it is
said that the mill men will go before the
railroad commission with their grievances.
An official said yesterday that the loading
of the lumber should Im. done by the ship
pers. They should bear all the expense of
the loading as it is no less Incumbent up
pon shippers to have their goods stored in
such a manner that they will arrive safely
at the destination than for them to lie
stowed so that the danger to the carrier
will be minimized. He thinks the expense
of the extra lumber needed, the necessary
blacksmith work on the space blocks and
the space blocks themselves, which are
used for distributing the weight of the
load properly and furnishing a pivot for
the lumber In turning curves, should be
borne by the shippers.
Some time ago the railroads Issued rules
for the governance of the mill men In their
loading of long timber upon two Hat cars.
Up to the time of the issuance of these
instructions the lumber had all been piled
flat on the ears. This the officials said,
rendered the danger to the trains on pass
ing curves extreme, and they tried for some
time to have the methods remedied in such
a way as to have them give greater satis
faction. The mill men have been acced
ing to the rules promulgated by the roads
for some time, but it has always been un
der protest. Their objections have not re
cently crystalized into definite shape, and
they now seem disposed to lake the matter
before the highest authorities for adjud
ication.
VISITING THE SCHOOLS.
Col. Mercer Talked to the Anderson
Street School Children.
Col. George A. Mercer, president of the
Board of Education, visited the Anderson
Street School yesterday, spending nearly
the entire morning with the children. Ail
of the grades, except one or two of tire
lowest, were visited, and Col. Mercer made
talks to them all. The president of the
board endeavored to Impress upon the
children to whom he talked the necessity
of their devoting their every effort to tho
improvement of their minds and of their
making the most of the opportunities they
enjoy. To the older children, he talked of
the beauties of art and nature, and tried
to Impress them with a sense of the beau
tiful. The teachers were pleased with the
expression of the president of the board
upon the order mainlainet] at the school
and the excellence of the systems employ
ed in the imparting of knowledge.
