JOHN R. SHAW.
Americus people who attend the
ecumenical connci’ of the Methodist
church in Washington next October will
see come of the antiquitlee of Methodiem.
A department of the council will be
devoted to these relics, one of which will
bo a little piece of wood from the
Betbesda orphanage. It is nothing more
than a splinter, bnt it ie connected with
the name of George Whitfield—a name
that standB unsurpassed in the annals of
pulpit eloquence.
Bishop Asbury's old tea canister will
have a prominent place. The canister le
a simple, old-fashioned concern, and
would not attract much respectful at
tention at a camp meeting now-a-days
Yet this old canister was the traveling
companion of ono of the purest and best
men of Methodiem. What a tale that
old piece of tin could tell, were it an
animate thing! It could tell how many
miles it had traveled with the bishop. It
could tell how many cups of tea the old
clergyman used to drink at a meal; it
could tell, too, perhaps, of the wonder
ful self-denial of the venerable man, as
amid peril and deprivation he went about
laying the foundations of a great religious
denomination; it could tell, too, no
doubt, how the good bishop' would re-
buke sin and sinners without fear and
trembling; it could tell in a few short
words, many of the noble things in the
bishop's life that only a traveling com
panion can know. Though old, still the
tea canister is well preserved, and would
still do on a pinch for a bishop’s travel-
ing companion now. The canister bears
the following inscription: “Asbury’s
tea canister—the traveling tea canistcrof
Bishop Asbury."
Bishop Asbury’s pouch is a relic of in
terest. It is a simple piece of muslin
canvas tied up with an ordinary cotton
string. It is a forcible reminder of the
bishop’s simplicity. And then tho
bishop’s spectacles; they lie in the glass
case side against the pouch. They are
tho old timo "specks.” Their frames
look as solid as the prow of a steamer.
There is no delicate workmanship to be
soon, but simply a plain idea of strength
can bo gathered from them. When
Bishop Asbury died the spectacles
passed into the possession of Bishop Me-
Kendree.
Itov. Dr. G. C. M. Roberts’ razor case
is an old-timer. It is about the size of
a small valise, and looks as though It
would hold half a dozen razors. The
case, though antiquated in looks and a
little out of style, has a vigorous appear
ance, and could, no doubt, bo used by
somo successor of Dr. Roberts.
Tho old razor case of tho Rev. Jacob
Gruber is in a fair state of preservation,
It is a curious looking concern, and
lacks the modern ideas in stylo.
Bishop McKendreo’s clothes brush is
an oddity. It looks more like a paint
brush than anything else. It is made
of the ordinary straw, but tho top
part of it Is wrappod heavily with
cord.
There is an interesting group of canes
in the antique cailectlon, among which
arc somo which vividly recalled the men
of tho times of long ago. Some of tho
canes are curiosities in shapo and design
and many of them are but the silont wit
nesses to the simplicity of the Motho-
dlst preachers. Among them aro tho
following: Tho Sunday cano of Rev.
Ilcnry Smith. It was made from timber
of tho First Methodist church among the
Indians at Sandusky. A cano Horn tho
timber of Strawbridgo church at I’ipe
creek, one cut from Mount Lebanon by
a party of llaltimorcans, among whom
was Mr. William Cortland; anotliorfrom
tho rigging loft in Now York city, In
which the Methodists first worship
ed heforo the building of Wesley
chapel in John street; a cano f-oin
Mount Olive, once used by Bishop Bov-
crly Waugh, and one which was carried
for sixteen years by Bishop Waugh, and
which was cut by Rev. Dr. John P. Dur
bin, and presented to tho bishop. It
later camo into tho possession of Itov.
Thom is Myer and by him was presented
to tho Maryland Historical Society.
One made from wood of tho Eutaw
strcc- Methodist Episcopal churcli orig
inal pulpit, and carried by Dr. G. C. M.
Roberts; ono that was once used by Rev.
Paul Hitt, another that was used by
Bishop Francis Burns of Africa; ono cut
from a cherry treo under which Straw-
bridge preached, and ono from Wes
ley Grove, City Road Chapel, London,
England, and another from the birth
place of Rev. Dr. G. C. M. Roberts.
Perhaps the most touching and ten
der memento of tho past is a littlo paper
box that contains locks of hair of
Bishop Ashbury, of the mother of
Bishop ASbury, Bishop Empry, Bishop
McKondroe and Father Smith. Over
four score years have come and gone
since Asbury was ordained a bichop,
and now locks of the hair from the
head* of these great men are treasures,
indeed, and will doubtless attract a
great deal of attention at theccumcncial
council. - ■
Who Got Tho Prizes »

standing about who got the prises at the
colored firemen's tournament in Augus
ts. Here is what the Haoon Telegraph

batum the telegram received by Tna
Times-Recobdeb. Gaze on this and
thou on that:

the honors In the reel contest, winning
the first prize in 22| seconds, Bieden-
berg Hose Company of Augusta won the
the second in 26] seconds, and won the

the rare intcligence he displays, will be
sure to pleaso all who may attend the

When The Times-Recobdeb announc
ed last Sunday a week ago the changes
that were to be made on the Central and
its divisions there were those who said
it was “round house" talk, while others
boldly cried “fake."
Those very changes are officially an
nounced in the following circular:
Oftice or Geneuai, Superinten
dent, Savannah, Ga., July 20, 1891.-
Reorganization of the transportation de
partment, as below mentioned will taktf
effect on August 1,1801,
The offices of superintendent of trans
portation and superintendent of term!'
nals will be abolished.
The main item division will consist of
the lines from Savannah to Tyboe, Sa
vannah to Atlanta (including Savannah
Terminals), Griffin to Chattanooga,
Barnesville to Thomaston, Gordon to
Eatonton and Meldrim to Lyons, with
Mr. W. W. Starr as superintendent, office
at Savannah, Ga.
The Southwestern division will com
eistof the following lines: Maeon to
Columbus, Columbus to Montgomery,
Fort Valley to Union Springe, Smlth-
villo to Columbia, Columbus to Troy,
Troy Extension, Columbus to Greenville,
Columbus to Americus, Cuthbert to Fort
Gaines, Eufaula to Ozark, and Fort
Valley to Perry, with Mr. D. D. Curran
as superintendent, office at Macon, Ga.
Tho South Carolina division will con
sist of linns In present organization,
with Mr. B. C. Epperson as superinten
dent, offico at Augusta, Ga.
The superintendents will have charge
of all the real estate and personal prop
erty of tills company, Including shops,
depots and other buildings, and the mo
tive power and rolling stock of their re
spective divisions, and will be held re
sponsible for the maintenance of the
roadway, proper discipline of omployos,
and the advancement of the service gen
erally to a thorough standard of efficien
cy, reporting direct to tho general su
perintendent.
The shops at Savannah will bo under
the control of the superintendent of thq
main stem division; shops at Macon (in
cluding the agency and yard), and Co
lumbus shops, under the superintendent
of the Southwestern division; and shops
at Augusta under the superintendent of
the South Carolina division.
V. E. McBee, <
Approved; General Superintendent.
W. H. Green, General Manager.
SnpL W. W. Starr, who succeeds H.
R. Dill as superintendent of the main
stem, and T. S. Molee aa superintendent
of the Savannah A Atlantic division will
also have charge of tho Savannah term!
ils.
Mr. Starr was superintendentof trans
portation under General Manager Gab-
bett's administration, and prior to that
was superintendent of the Port Royal
and Western Carolina, and afterward of
the Southwestern division, having been
promoted Lom master of train service
under SupL Rogers. His long expert'
ence and thorough acquaintance with
the Central railroad, with which he has
been connected in various capacities
from that of messenger boy up to super
intendent, hteknowledgeof the termi
nals and his recognized ability fit him
for the office to which ho lias been ap
pointed.
Supt Dill, it is understood will re
main in Macon with the North Macon
Land Company, and SupL Moiso will re
turn to Columbus. SupL J. D. Wil
liamson, of the Chattanooga division, is
also rolieved by tho consolidation of the
division with the main stem, which now
oxtends from Tyboo to Chattanooga.
Superintendent McKenzie of the
Southwestern also goes out and tho of
fices of that division will bo movod from
Smithvillo to Macon.
What is now known as tlio Savannah A
Western division will likely bo given, in
an official circular to follow in a day or
two, to tlio Richmond A Danvillu men
in Birmingham.
It is thought that the chango in the
Southwestern’s affairs will result in a
decided change in the force of agents
and other employees. Tho lightning
will ho striking the boys all around the
first thing anybody knows.
The news hero given is affirmed by
this special from Columbus:
Columbus, July 23.—[Special.]—Offi
cial circulars wero received here this
morning announcing that Superintend
ent D. D. Curran would be transferred
to Macon, which will be the headquar
ters of tho Southwestern division of tho
Central in the future.
