Sih rintendent Dunham of the Plant
gv.'t’tn is in the ci,y a f€W days - As
B - ru ; e his stays here now are limited to a
(ew holl , 3 between trains. Although im
' j in (he routine works of the sys
iVm he still finds tlmq to display a lively
j',, rest in ail the affairs of the Plant *ys-
Itm Hospital and Relief Association.
',, r Punham, as is probably not known,
to all. is a member of ihe association, pay
hlg Jues the same as other members, and
ls ‘" th ,. only direct representative of the
company in its management. He is also
member of the Baltimore & Ohio relief
u . oftation, having retained his connect
ion with that association after quitting
the service of the company. The Baltimore
& Ohio has a pension system in connect
ion with this association and Mr. Dun
ham is naturally desirous that the Plant
System association shall introduce a sim
ilar feature in its work as soon as its
financial condition permits.
•There is no limit to the possibilities of
6uch an association/* said Mr. Dunham
yes-.erday. "In addition to paying large
insurance sums to those who may die or
V killed, as well as to those who are in
jured, it has sick benefits that are of great
value to the men who become 111. The hos
pital is now recognized as one of the finest
ami best equipped in this section. Asa
progressive association it can, and I nave
redoubt will, add the pension feature as
gem u* it has accumulated a sufficient sur
plus fund. The association already has a
considerable balance to its credit, much
nl ~ than is generally supposed, and when
b- condition permits the pension branch
can ire added and worked effectively. By it
( cal , be provided that when a member
lose- his (Hisit ion by reason of old age or
other disability he will receive a certain
amount from the pension fund monthly as
long as he lives. With careful management
sm h a system is perfectly feasible, and cap
' h,, made the means of doing much good.
Outside of this, it is wtthlng the province
0 f such an association as our employes
have to assist its members to secure home?
for themselves on the principle of a build
ing association. The sphere of usefulness
can l*c, and doubtless will be, gradually
expanded as time progresses and the In
stitution becomes stronger and stronger
financially.”
Suiierintendent Dunham could give no
definite idea as to when the pension feat
ure might be expected to be put into work
ing order, but it is no doubt his hope to
have ii in successful operation as soon ns
corn!Uions will permit. Of course the em
ployes decide the matter, but it Is probable
that the advantages will be presented in
such a light that the plan will recommend
itself to all.
The Central Railroad has had taken a
large number of views in the peach dis
trict. No finer collection of views in
peach orchards in shipping time has ever
been gotten together. There are fifty or
more of them, of large size, showing the
hands at work, giving views of single
trees, of orchards of thousands of trees,
q£ branches laden almost to breaking with
the fruit, and of specimens of the choicest
peaches sent to market. The photographs
tell the story of Georgia’s greatest fruit

will be used in illustrating a special

The German Railroad Union has offered
very attractive prizes for Important Im
provements and Inventions, in railroad
construction, machinery and management.
The range of matters indicated by the
union Includes improvements in the con
struction of locomotive boilers, especially
? uoh as, without increasing weight mate
rially, secure the most complete consump
tion of smoke possible; economy in fuel,
>: o prevention of sparks and the reduction
ot the cost of maintenance; an arrange
ment by which the coupling of cars with
automatic American couplers and those
with the standard couplers of the times
may tie made without danger; weighing
apparatus by which separate cars while
m 'Ving or loosely coupled ears of a whole
train, may be weighed with sufficient ac
eoi ■ > ; also some means of protecting a
train that has come to a slop, or is threat
eii' l with delays in bad weather and at
tight, which will work better than the
track torpedoes and the hand signals of
tin! k and train men. The time limit for
the prizes is the middle of July, 1899, and
an important condition in ail cases Is that
the invention, or method, must be intro
duced on some railroad In the railroad
unil ‘ n '>eforc its application Is made to

■ ONE OF A DISAPPEARING TYPE.
“Ebb Tide" Has at East Taken Old
Wally Wright of HlufTton, S. C.
Editor Morning News: At the advanced
age of 89 years, old Wally Wright died at
Bluffton, S. C., on last Wednesday, July
27. He has taken his last “magundy
smash," has seen his mysterious “seven
stars," has heard the roll of "Jackson's
artillery,” and has crossed the river io
turra plantashun.” These expressions
of his will be remembered by many who
knew and loved the old man, and to them
his death will bring regret and reminis
censes. The sportsmen of Savannah and
of the adjoining Carolina coast will re
call old Wally, with his weather-beaten
countenance, his quaint dialect, irrepressi
ble humor and predlleerion for the "dam
dyjohn.” He was probably the best
known, most original and appreciated
character among the old darkies along the
coast—a type that has almost disappeared.
Born "pon tap Ellsto," he fol
lowed his master, the late Mr. James
Seabrook, to Milton Head, and thence to
Bluffton. For rare services and compan
ionship in forest and on stream, he was
given his freedom just before the war,
but never left “old mauser” then nor af
terwards in adverse days. He was guide,
hunter and fisherman pre-eminent in all
that section for years, and his original
sayings never failed to amuse, while he
w’as the acknowledged authority as to
the best “drop” or ' stand.”
It is supposed that this old veteran has
been in at the death of more deer and
has caught more game fish than any other
man of his day and generation. For over
seventy years has wetted a line for drum
during April on “Broad ribber,” and his
total catch of these large fish must have
been amazing.
I'rofessifig religion some years ago, he
departed for the “hapy hunting grounds.”
carrying deep in his heart his last and best
anchor of a cherished faith and trust in
Gormity.” Brutus Bulloch.
The writer uses, as a pseudonym, a
name given him by old Wally himself.
PAID A VISIT TO HIS MEN.
C'apt. Huske Looking After Soldiers
ia Hospital.
Capt. B. R. Huske, of Company A, Sec
ond Regiment, North Carolina Volunteers,
was in the city yesterday from Tybee. He
reports his men in good condition, having
now become pretty well settled in their
new quarters.
The object of Capt. Huske's visit was to
find out the condition of three of the com
pany In ihe Savannah Hospital. He reports
they are doing well and unless something
unforeseen happens to them, they will be
able to join their comrades in a few days.
This is particularly pleasing to Capt.
Huske, who has been very solicitous for
their early recovery.
NEBRASKA'S FUSIONISTS.
Leading Places on the Ticket Go to
the Populists.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 2.—Nebraska's fusion
forces failed to make a record for them
selves for industry In their three state
conventions held to-day.
Beginning shortly after 2 o'clock this
afternoon, an evening recess found them
hardly well begun, a permanent organiza
tion and appointment of the customary
committees being the sum total of the
work accomplished up to to-night's ses
sion.
The excuse for delay was found in the
fact that the Populists, Democrats and
Free Silver Republicans met in haJls In
different parts of the city, and to make
fusion binding it was necessary that con
ference committees should make frequent
trips to and from the respective halls.
Interest centered largely In the Populist
delegations, as It was a foregone conclu
sion that this branch of the political fam
ily tree would dictate the terms on which
the triple alliance would work together.
It was nearly 8 o'clock when the night
session began and two hours later the re
port of the conference committee on the
division of officers among the three parties
was received. It recommended that the
Populists be allowed to name the head of
the ticket (Governor) and that such other
state officers as had served acceptably be
re-nominated. There was opposition, but
the report was adopted in turn by each
convention. It means that the Populists
take every state office except attorney
general, which goes to the Democrats.
At 10:30 nominations for Governor were
called for in the Populist convention.
The first formal ballot brought out sev
enteen candidates for Governor, with A,
Pointer of Boone, Populist, leading ln
strength In the Populists convention,
Judge Neville of North Platte, Populist,
with the free silver Republicans, while
the Democrats, disregarding the agree
ment of the conferees, cast their solid
vote for Attorney General Smythe, Demo
crat,
The Democratic platform, in part, fol
lows:
"We, the Democracy of Nebraska, send
greeting to the brave men of the nation
who are fighting humanity’s battle and
attempting to relieve the suffering, priva
tion and hunger of a courageous but op
pressed people, and for that purpose to
guarantee unto the fertile island of Cuba
a government created, maintained and up
held by the consent of the governed. And
we pledge the President of the United
States our most hearty support in the
vigorous prosecution of the conflict.
“W. J. Bryan is acknowledged as leader
and chief of the party and the 'people's
champion.’ ”
The platform reaffirms that of 1896 and
declares that the silver question should be
the Issue of 1990; opposes banks of Issue;
denounces the Dlngley tariff law as illog
ical and oppressive, and favors an Income
tax.
The second and third ballots were un
eventful, but the fourth saw the Populist
give Pointer a majority and he was de
clared the nominee of that convention.
Aliout the same time, the free silver Re
publicans veered from Neville to Pointer,
giving him a flattering majority.
The Democrats on the fourth ballot
again a cast solid vote for Smith. As it
requires a majority of all the convention
to nominate, the Democrats are able to
block the nomination of Pointer.
The Populists refused to read their plat
form until after the nominations are
made.

SECOND GEORGIA’S CANTEEN.
IT HASN'T PROVED THE SOURCE OF
EVIL PREDICTED.
Neither Is It n Gold Mine to the Man
Running It—Practice of Issuing:
Canteen Tickets Discontinued—The
Stock of Goods Carried Not Very
Tempting One Lieut. Col. Garrard
Confident the Regiment Wilt Get
Away For Porto HICO Within n
AY eek.
Tnmpa, F!a., Aug. 2.—The Second Geor
gia Regiment is taking things Very quietly
now. awaiting orders to remo\e to Port
Tampa to board transports. Lieut. Col.
Garrard said to-day that he expected the
regiment to be on Us way to Porto Rico
within a week. The general orders to be
in readiness to board transports wi re re
ceived several days ago. In the meantime
the regular routine work of drill and guard
duty is going on.
The weather has been hot, but not par
ticularly unpleasant. Many of the men
sleep out under the trees in hammocks at
night.
The muster rolls for July have been sign
ed and the men are expecting th. paymas
ter to-day or to-morrow. The visits of this
official ure always more than welcome.
The Georgia canteen which was former
ly located at Palmetto Beach, resumed
operations here yesterday. The Fifth In
fantry also has a canteen just outside the
Georgia line. Both canteens are doing a
very light business at present, but with the
expectation of doing a rushing business as
soon as pay day/arrives. The boys of the
Second have learned the folly of getting
rid of their money as fast as possible after
pay day, and it Is safe to Bay that they
will not be so lavish in their
expenditures as on former pay days.
Many of them hnv£ learned that it is bet
ter for them to put their money in such
eatables and delicacies as are not furn
ished by the quartermaster’s department
than to put the greater part of it in drink
ables. They also realize the advantage
of laying in a supply of good things for
the Porto Rico trip and it is likely that
tlie Georgians will put less money in beer
and more in other things this month than
heretofore.
The canteen has not proved the source
of evil which many friends of the boys
in Savannah and elsewhere seemed to
fear It would. The judgment of the offi
cers that It would be better for (he men
to spend their, money, if they choose to
do so, at a place under military control
and where order ls guaranteed, has been
fully confirmed by experience. The men
are less likely to indulge to excess in the
limits of the camp than at Tampa and
Ybor City, where bad whisky is plenti
ful and where the men are almost certain
to mix up with It. Of course many ot
the men will, go to tnese places and
spend their mondy foolishly any way, but
this is one of the things tha* cannot be
guarded against. The management of the
canteen Is not very popular with the boys
and many of them prefer to spend their
money elsewhere. If a wider range of
supplies was kept by the canteen there
would be less cause of oomplaint. At pres
ent its supplies are limited to Tampa
beer, soda water, cigars, cigarettes and
cheap lemonade. The latter is usually
constructed of acetic acid with a few slices
of lemons floating on the top as a bluff.
A limited supply of poor sandwiches is
sometimes kept. This is about tho limit
of the canteen's stock. The practice of is
suing canteen tickets io the tnor. who de
sired them was discontinued last month
and the patronage of the canteen was re
duced several hundred dollars in. conse
quence, and three-quarters of the men
have a dollar more to their credit than
they would otherwise have had. Each
man who wished was allowed to draw $1
worth of tickets and as the tickets were
good only at the canteen the later had a
cinch on a large amount of business.
These tickets were issued after the mid
dle of the month and on the days of issue
it would be a matter of difficulty to get
to the canteen on account of the crowds
of thirsty men all clamoring for beer.
The Savannah men were very anxious
that Savannah beer should be furnished
by the canteen but at the Tampa Brew
ing Company controls the canteen privil
ege it is very rarely that anything but
Tampa beer is furnished. It is said that
the product of the Tampa brewery Is
place on sale very soon after it is brew
ed and that this accounts for the some
times unpleasant effects. Anyway It Is not
popular with the men and this accounts
in large measure for the unpopularity of
the canteen.
A number of the Georgia hoys thought
It would be fine sport to raid the canteen
the night before their anticipated depart
ure for Fernandlna. This was very fool
ish as the canteen was hardly fifty feet
In rear of the guard house and especially
as Capt. Wllooxson and Lieut. F. C. Wil
son, two very vigilant officers, were re
spectively offiers of the day, and officer
of the guard. A crowd gathered, how
ever, and an entry was made by the rear
door. Several men got on the inside and
were seizing whatever they could lay
hands on in the dark when Capt. Wll
coxson suddenly appeared on the ncene
and called for the guar.. The crowd
scattered and all those inside succeeded
ln escaping with of one poor
fellow named Hughes who attempted to
hide-do the inside and was caught red
handed, loaded with cigars and pipes.
He has since been under arrest, and it is
said that It is likely to go hard with him.
A guard was placed over the canteen and
no further attempts were made to loot
it.
Corpl. Abbott Thomas of Company B,
left last night for Savannah on a fur
lough.
Private Thomas S. Russell of Company
B, left for Savannah Sunday night on a
furlough, and Private Herliert Brunner, of
the same company, will have for Savannah
to-day. All thrqp will visit relative* In the
city.
Funerals are a matter of dally occurrence
from the division hospital, which Is Just
west of the Georgia camp. The Georgia
boys were somewhat alarmed at first at
the frequency of these funerals, but as
none of the deaths are from th Second
Regiment, the men have almost ceased to
take notice of the funerals.
CORBETT WANTS A FIGHT.
WJIIIuk to Meet Fltzxliumon* or Jim

New York, Aug. 2.—James J. Corbett
to-day deposited $2,500 at the office of a
morning paper for a match with Bob
Fitzsimmons or Jim Jeffries.
In his letter authorizing the deposit of
money, Corbett says: “If I defeat McCoy
at Buffalo, I shall expect Fitzsimmons to
show a disposition to make a match. If
Ac is unwilling to do so the $2,500 goes for
jeffries, and if I defeat Jeffries I do not
see how Fitzsimmons can decline to meet
me.”
