The I. O. G. T. Excursion.
The Good Templar's excursion Inst
Wednesday was tbe biggest tbiug of
the season. There was more of {it
and it lasted longer than any other
we hare attended in quite* a while.
We should judge there were about
240 excursionists, including men,
women and children. Of this last
*yslass there wns no lack, embracing
nil ages from twelve years down to as
many months. We were advertised
I to leave at 8 a. in., got off at 9, stuck
1 in Jekyl creek till noon, and-reached
Fernnndiua at 4:30 p. m., the hour
we should have should have been con
templating leaving; but all hands
had gone for some fun and intended
having it. So off to the beach we
moved on a special train with four
coaches crowded, making our head
quarters at the Strathmore Hotel.
The party walked and waded and
bathed and had a good time gener
ally, utterly forgetting tbe morning’s
worry and annoyance. As we stood
on tbe beach and saw the water filled
with bathers in their fancy suits we
were somewhat reminded of Coney
Island and Long Jh neb.
The beach here is hardly np to that
of Cumberland, being more uneven
and treacherous. Another disadvan
tage here is tbe Florida gallinipper, a
species of mosqnito that makes a sav
age attack on all exposed flesh. Tbe
only comfort one can have is to get in
the friendly breeze, and thus be freed
from this terrible pest.
About eight o’clock tbe party re
embarked on tbe train, and in a few
minutes were across the island and on
board tbe Collyer, ready to depart.
The trip back wns delightful, being
cool and free from delays, as wo took
tbe precaution to stay in Fernandiua
long enough to insnre a pnssuge
through naughty Jouyl creek, the bag-
bear of all onr steamboat people. Tbe
lateness of the hour wns the ouly
drawback, bat to yonng people, bent
on fan, tbis was nothing. They rath
er liked it, aud we old folks were
ricbly entertained by Messrs. Lane,
Braggios and Dent, who favored us
with some exquisite songs, accompa
nied by tbe piano.
At two a. in. Brunswick was
reached, and very soon that steamer’s
deck was as silent us it had been
noisy, for every one sought their
homes with all the energy they
bad, determined to get ull tbe
sleep they could before breakfast was
announced. Tbe officers of the boat
are entitled to tbe thanks of the ex
cursionists for tbe courteous treat
ment received at their hands. Purser
Hiue came ns near being ubiquitous
as noy man wo saver knew.
NOTES.
If we ever own a steamboat we are
goiug to give Mr. Dilwortb the posi
tion of mate. In that capacity he is
immense.
We never went on u more orderly
excursion in onr lives.
Little Miss Irma Lsmbright wns
the youngest miss on tbe trip. She
was wide awake all the evening and
night np to 2 p. m., nnd never whim
pered. She is hardly a year and a
half old, we should judge.
As we looked at Fernandiua nnd
thought wbnt her hotels bnd done for
her, we reflected: “What if Bruns
wick had two or more winter hotels
for tourists, wonldn’t she fairly jump?'’
captain and owners of tbe vessel for
alleged conspiracy. The brig Mary
Celeste was wrecked on the coast of
Hayti in January last. In April
Captain Gilman E. Parker was ar
rested for barratry (willful wrecking
of bis vessel) an offense which is
punishable . with death under the
United States laws. The May grand
jnry indicted Captain Parker for this
offense, and also indites him and the
owners for conspiracy to defrand in
surance companies. Tbe trial npon
the conspiracy indictment was began
tbis morning. _
HEARTFELT THANKS.
A Card from Hie Captain* In Pori, In
Regard to the Death of Little
Ilnrry Steelman.
We, tbe undersigned, beg space in
tbe columns of your paper to express
to your citizens our sincere gratitude
aud appreciation for the many kind
nesses extended our iellow-captain
G. W. Steelman, during the illness of
his beloved little son Harry.
It has never before been onr lot, in
all oar travels, to meet a class of peo
ple so hospital and generous, people
who made us to feel while in their
midst that we are at home, and who
without solicitation huve taken us to
their hearts nntl homes, administer
ing all in their power to tbe relief of
our little sufferer, who is to-day rest
ing “under tbeshude of the trees.”
We feel especially grateful to Mr.
and Mrs. W. M. Baker, who in the
Christian goodness of their hearts
tendered Captain Steelman the use
of their bouse and home, where
everything that could be was done
for the comfort of little Harry. A
member of tbeir own household could
not have had more or kinder atten
tion. Our heartfelt gratitude is ex
tended Mrs. R. B. Wood, who so
faithfully administered with tender
b°art and bands to tho wants
of our beloved little boy. We also
wish to express onr gratefulness to
Madam Florence Friedlander, who so
tenderly and carefully nursed him
throughout his illness, and tbe eatao
we extend to Dr. Bnrford, the attend
ing physician, over faithful to his
ebarge, doing all that medical skill
could suggest or advise to save the
life of one so dear to bis fond parents
and admiriDg friends.
Upon all do we invoke Heaven’s
richest blessings, as a reward for tbe
kindness bestowod on us in your
beautiful and hospitable city.
Captains op the Fleet.
The ulurjr 4'clcatc.
This will be remembered ns the
name ol a vessel which visited our
port a year or more since, and about
which a most remarkable story was
told, to tbe effect that she tlsd several successful career
years before been found at sen, with
ail sails set, and without u humnu be- 1
, ing on board. Whot became of her
Our Jail.
Is nearing completion. The cells to
the lower rdora are being pat in this
week. They are fourteen in number,
built of heavy planking double' 1 with
sheet iron iu the centre with grated
doors. Between these cells and the
outer wall of tbe building is an onen
hallway to allow prisoners room for
exercise. Above stairs in a similar
room will be built fourteen steel cells
and ono steel cage. Thus the greater
the crime tbe more secure tho place
provided for the prisoner. Contrac
tor Anderson is giving the county a
good job.
Cook’s Mill Resin* to Saw.
On Monday morning tho new mill
wns fired up in earnest, aud Ht seven
o’clock active operations in the saw
ing line were begun. We “took it
in” on Wednesday, aud found a scene
of activity that was indeed refreshing
after so long a supsou of idleness.
The »> tv mill is, of course, quite
nil improvement over the old one,
being constructed with a view to cor
recting the defects of its predecessor,
and also of adding some of the latest
improvements. We truly hope that
the new mill may have a loug him!
lias and Water.
We intimated last, week that
proposition would soon be mnde the
city to supply her with gas and arte
sian wnter. We are pleased to state
that the parties are here and will
make a formal proposition to Coun
cil to-day. Tbe proposition, as we
understand it, is to famish seventy-
five lamps, 200 feet apart, along
Bay, Newcastle and Union streets,
also to put np a 100,000-gallon reser
voir 80 feet high, from which to sup
ply the city with water—the present
priviledge of securing wnter from the
upper well for man and beast to re
main in tact free to all, fire plugs to
be placed along these streets for the
use of tho city free. For tbe service
thus rendered the city is to pay $3,000
per annum for gns uud wnter. The
lower well is to retnuiD iu the hands
of the city, but tbe company agree
to put up n fountain with four drain
pipes to tho outer edge of the park
where faucets will be placed for the
use of the citizens and troughs for
the use of horses. Tbe price of gas to
individuals will be put at tho maxi
mum figure of $3 per foot, but to be
cheapened as the nnrnber of patrons
increase. As yet no figures have been
discussed for water privileges iu pri
vate houses or manufacturing pur
poses.
We bnve thus given in brief an out
line of what will bo offered at the
meeting of Council to-day. We may
naturally expect there will be more or
less modifications nnd amendments—
for instance, some will contend for
water fountains or taps nloDg tho
streets, where those who do not wish
water iu their houses can get it free.
In the main, this proposition is about
what we havo contended for all along,
and we trust no obstacle will bo
thrown in the wny of its consumma
tion; We are opposed to the city's
attempting the work herself, even if
she bnd tbe money (which she has
not; as it would be very unsatisfacto
ry at bust, and bo a continual source
of discord in city politics.
Messrs. Jeter, of Hawkinsville, and
Boardman, of Macon, two members ot
the company,'are* hers, nnd will go
before Council to-day. These gentle
men estimate that tbeir plant will cost
nt least $50,000.
America’* Cheap Fare.
We have trains in American which
are r8 fast ns tbe fastest in England,
anil they have trains iu England
which are as slow as the slowest
trains iu America, though tho aver
age speed is greater in England be
cause of better road beds, avoid
ance of grade crossings, and better
system of signals and shorter stops.
On tho other bund, we curry onr pus*
sengers, high and low, far more
cheaply than they do in England.
