CITY TOPICS.
A martial spirit possesses the boys.
Augusta received yesterday 49 bales
of cotton and sales were 154.
Temperature at the Signal Office
yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, 89
degrees.
A fine breeze at intervals yesterday
rendered the weather quite pleasant,
though it was at times warm.
The beautiful grounds surrounding
the Presbyterian Church in Augusta is
not used as a calf pasture now.
The monument in front of the City
Hall needs cleaning, and the fence
which surrounds it anew coat of
paint.
The Norfolk excursionists to the
Third Georgia Reunion at Portsmouth
are now arriving daily on each train
that comes in from the North.
Richmond Lodge. I. O. G. TANARUS., will

The Grand Lodge 'meets in Gaines
ville.
To be on the safe side, do not attempt
to cross to the opposite side of a rail-,
road track immediately in front of a
moving train of cars with the locomo
tive in the rear.
A Ailing rain fell about dusk yester
da ivening and another shower fin-
the work of soaking the ground.
The prospects at this writing are that
we will have more of it.
City voters should get ready to
register their names, so as to become
eligible voters at the municipal elec
tion in December, as the registry list

The Recorder yesterday had three
eases before him, which would have
increased the amonnt in the City Treas
ury $40.00, but only two appeared to be
willing to come forward, each with 810,
liquidating half the amount. The oth
er chose forty days instead of the pay
ment of 820.00.
Anew juvenile military company

IMPROVEMENTS.
The New Christian Church and a
Few Other New Buildings.
The new Christian Church, located
on the northeast corner of Greene and
Mclntosh streets, is approaching com
pletion and is expected to be ready for
dedication the first part of November.
THE CONTRACTORS
are Messrs. T. O. Brown, for the
brick and plastering work, and William
H. Goodrich for the wood and frescoe
ing and other work. These gentlemen
have appeared to push their work
forward with commendable enterprise.
The architect was Mr. Woodruff, for
merly of Macon, who has proved a per
fect adept in his business.
EXTENT OF CONTRACTS.
The contracts made stipulated that
Mr. Goodrich would finish his in Octo
ber, while Mr. Brown with the brick
and plastering would, of course, keep
ahead and get through before Mr. G.
The total cost of the building, when
entirely finished, including the iron
fence around the lot, will amount to, or
nearly reach, §50,000, exclusive of the
cost of the lots first purchased by Mrs.
E. H. Tubman for the puryose of erect
ing the edifice for the congregation, the
amount paid to the former owner being
843,500. About one-half of the land
fronting on Ellis street, has since been
sold to another buyer, Dr. Doughty.
THE SPIRE,
on the northwest corner of the build
ing, which has lately attracted a great
deal of attention from passers by, will
be about finished this week and scaf
folding tak-en down by next Saturday.
It already presents a very handsome
appearance. It is expected that a fine
bell of 2,500 pounds weight will be
placed in the tower upon the comple
tion of the edifice.
A SHORTER TOWER,
extending some forty feet above the
roof on the east side of the main en
trance, called a ventilator, to carry off
the hot air from the inside, will be
placed in position in a few days. This
will prove to [be of great advantage in
ventilating the church. It is made of
thin galvanized sheet iron, in imitation
of dark marble. A heavy cornice of the
same material will be placed below and
extend over the main door to the west
ern tower and present a very handsome
appearance.
THE INSIDE
of the church is not so far advanced as
the outside. It is proposed to place
106 seats in the main body of the
building, each being about 8 feet 4
inches long, and in tho gallery over
the front entrance, seats sufficient to
accommodate 100 persons. The gal
lery for the accommodation of the
choir and the organ is erected on the
lower side, near the pulpit, projecting
inward over the entrance to the chapel.
The walls are now being handsomely
frescoed by the skillful hands of Mr.
H. M. Roberts, formerly of Cairo, 111.,
but for several years past a resident of
this city. The work so far is hand
somely done.
THE CHAPEI. AND SUNDAY SCHOOL ROOM
is in the wing projecting eastward,
aod the work so far advanced as to
render it ready for occupancy at onee,
and services could be held there to-day
if necessary, as convenient seats, or
rather benches, have been put in the
large room, each having a reversible
back. The pulpit, however, has not
yet been placed in position.
THE PARSONAGE.
Ground was broken and work on the
excavation for the foundation of the
new parsonage for the pastor of the
church commenced yesterday. This
building is to correspond in archi
tecture with the church edifice and lo
cated on the lot east of it. The cost
will be, as estimated, between §6,000
and §7,000.
These buildings will prove to be a
handsome ornament to the portion of
the city where they are located.
OTHER BUILDINGS —THE PARSONAGE OF THE
GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH.
The parsonage of the German Lu
theran Church, on Walker street, built
for the Pastor of that church, Rev. E.
P. Cammann, is about completed, and
appears to be a most substantial frame
building. In the main part there are
two parlors on the first floor, and three
bed rooms, with a bath room above.
Each room above has a closet. In an
L in the rear, the dining room, store
room and kitchen are located. Mr.
George P. Weigle had the contract for
the construction of tho house, (which is
located on the lot next below the Ger
man Lutheran Church, on Walker street,
just below Washington), and he has
proved his ability in building by mak
iug a most excellent job of this house.
He has done remarkably well, and de
serves the praise for his work which
has always been accorded him.
THE PAINTING
contract was awarded to Mr. H. P. Ar
lington, who, assisted by Mr. J. D.
O’Connor, (the latter doing the grain
ing of the doors) fully equalled the
original contractor in their line of
work. Any one seeing the house and
examining the whole workmanship can
but admire the skill displayed by the
workmen. The congregation are fortu
nate in obtaining such a fine building
for their Pastor who will duly appre
ciate it.
Mr. Weigle also has the contract for
building the new Baptist chapel on the
lower part of Greene street.
ON THE CORNER
below the above mentioned new build
ing is another of smaller proportions
now in course of erection for Mr. Jas.
M. Anderson. This is on the lot corner
of Walker and Centre streets—only an
L being built at present—the main por
tion to be erected hereafter.
ON BROAD STREET.
We observe that the store formerly
occupied by Messrs. Barrett, Land &
Cos. is being greatly improved, under
the superintendence of Mr. J. B.
Stoughton, for Mr. Finch. The build
ing has been extended 140 feet, reach
ing Jones street, and now has a total
depth of 200 feet. There is an extensive
storeroom in the rear, above as well
as below, the flooring above the lower
story being supported by what is known
as a bow-string girder—no columns or
pillars being used throughout the depth
of the extension. Upon the completion
of these improvements, this store will
be occupied by Messrs. Geraty & Arm
strong, now located just above.
There are many
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
now in progress, which we hope to no
tice at a future day, as time presses us
now.
A Medium.
Matt O’B. says he will publish Sep
tember Ist an advertising sheet, to be
called the Georgia Railroad Journal,
and will contain railroad schedules,
time tables and a limited number of ad
vertisements.
As this “journal” wiil not conflict
with us in the matter of news, but only
as an advertiser and promoter of Au
gusta and the interests of Augusta
merchants, we wish with “all our typo
graphical heart” that he may aid us in
proving what he says “Wise men adver
tise—but—wiser men read those ad
versiments.”
Success to Matt O’B. say we.
Court of Ordinary.
This Court, Judge Samuel Levy pre
siding, held an adjourned term yester
day, and after passing a few orders,
unimportant, adjourned until Monday,
16th inst.

Almost a Fatal Accident.
Just after 8 o’clock yesterday morn
ing a colored man named Albert Tomp
kins, haulin' brick for the city to be
used in building the extension of the
sewer on Mclntosh street, in a cart,
came very near meeting with a fatal
accident, on the railroad track entering
the Georgia Railroad yard near Fen
wick street on Mclntosh. The track at
that point has been raised to permit
the sewer to be built under it, and a
considerable amount of sand placed on
either side to raise the street level with
the track.
The South Carolina Railroad shifting
engine was, at the time, pushing a rath
er long train of empty freight cars up
to the Georgia Railroad yard, but
stopped a minute or two below the
sewer some 15 or 20 feet for sortie
purpose, the flag man or pilot passing
on before. Tho colored man flagging
at the gate warned Tompkins, who
then came up with his cart, that it
would be unsafe to make an effort to
cross the track, as the train might
move at any time.
However Tompkins started his horse
and reaching the track his horse prov
ed to be unable to draw the vehicle
through the sand, and the cart stalled.
Just at that moment the train started
and the driver of the cart jumped at
once to the ground, and catching the
bridle attempted to draw the horse
around toward the gate and thus force
him to pull the cart out of the way, but
the foremast car reached the cart be
fore he could carry out his intentions
and struck one edge of the rear of it
and careening it around, pushed it off
the track, the horse in the meantine
having his hoofs stuck deep in the
sand tumbled over and fell on his driver.
The train of cai’s having knocked the
cart off the track moved on a short
distance before stopping, as the engi
neer, on account of the curve in the
track around the car shed on Twiggs
street, could not see what had hap
pened.
Tompkins was immediately taken up
by persons working near by and his
cart righted. Upon regaining hie feet
he was asked if he was hurt., when he
raised his left arm and said he believed
his arm was broke. Upon being ad
vised to go to a doctor, he replied he
would go home. He lived on the same
street on which the accident occurred.
From all the information we could
obtain we are positive the employes of
the South Caroliana Railroad, and
especially the engineer are not to
blame in this matter. The negro was
warned beforehand not to attempt to
cross the track and yet made the
effort, lienee he must bear the blame.
Musical.
We have received a fine musical com
position entitled the “Fannie Sehot
tische,” composed for the piano by G.
Schaub, from the publisher, George A.
Oates, No. 240 Broad street. It is a
fine piece.

Good, effective remedies prove them
selves. If a certain preparation is
offered as a sure remedy for rheuma
tism and a dozen or hundred trials are
made without avail, of course our faith
recoils from the so-called remedy. If a
person, suffering from rheumatism, is
advised to try the celebrated Home
Stomach Bitters for a cure he may be
skeptical at first, but as sure as he
gives them a fair trial his skepticism
vanishes. This preparation proves its
own claims. augß-suwe&c

CATERPILLAR.
IT DOES AWAY WITH THE USE OF
Paris Green and all other poisonous ar

used in Texas during 1 lie past year, is said
to be by some of the best planters in the
State the only article ever used that will
entirely destroy the CATERPILLAR with
out injury to the plant. It is easily applied
and no danwer in its use, costing only
about 25 ctiNTS PF.R acre. For particulars

to date. Only $200,000 are to be placed on
the market, though $300,000 were author
