dug from marsh and mud. tehminals of the seaboard are NEARING THEIR COMPLETION. floor Conception of Wliat They Will lie I lllniatcly May Bo Had To-day. Much Work Still to Be Done, hot the Hulk of the Undertaking Has Been Left neliinrt Hutchinson Island a* It Was Two Years Ago and ns It I at Present—Latent Possibilities Transformed Into Ac tive Utilities lij the Power of Money and Brains—Compress will Bogin Operation. The terminals of the Seaboard Air Line on Hutchinson’s Island, begin tb wear something of the appearance they will have when completed. Though several of the sheds and larger buildings are uniin ished, the work is yet well under way and the magnitude of the project can be much better appreciated now than has been possible heretofore. Savannahians remember the expanse of unus. and ground that made up the island as it was two years ago. Along the bank of the river, immediately opposite the center of the city, a marine railway, a dock for ihe revenue cutter on duty In the harbor, two or thiee rotting wharves and a dozen or more dismantled hulks relieved the otherwise unbroken prospect. Possibilities were there, but they needed the brain of enterprise to understand thorn and tire power of capital and industry to develop them into agencies for increasing the trade and business ’importance of Sa vannah. The brains and the capital were fur nished by the management of the then un born Seaboard Air Line, and, aroused by (he Jingle of the guineas, industry un curled its slow length and got to work. Time passed, and a change was wrought in the physical appearance of the island, though it was not such a one as would have delighted the heart of the aesthetic. Instead of marsh and mud, there was mud and plenty of it. It was piled up along the banks of the river, transported to the interior of the island and used in bringing the surface few inches higher above the level of the sea, dumped in ugly profusion in every nook and cranny nnd plastered, so it seemed, all over the face of the earth. In the river dredges plied their lengthy arms from morn till even, and from eve till morn again. Mud again and more ' mud, spurted from the land end of a long tube, that dipped, at its other extremity, into the bed of the river. Save that a large number of persons seemed to be very busy and that everything in sight was extraordinarily dirty, nobody grasp ed the idea that much had been accom plished. The island seemed to be as ugly and unattractive as before. The change came gradually. Piers and docks sprang up along the river side, ex tending far back towards, the Interior, while sheds an dother buildings were grouped upon them. Ships and lighters began to run up to the docks and to load and unload freight, while busy litile tugs, overcome by a sense of their own import ance, steamed noisily around and about. The desolation had vanished, and instead there were the outward and visible signs of industry, thrift and a constantly in creasing commerce. The *heds became filled with merchan dise. to and from every portion of the country, while bales of the South’s great ftaple were spread along upon its wharves. If the eye of the aesthetic would not even now be entirely satisfied with the sight that is presented from this side of the river, that of the up-to-date business man would be gratified and de lighted. Five hundred bales of cotton are now on th* wharves of the Seaboard terminals, awaiting the commencement of operations by the compress that has been erected. The compress has already been tested and found to work in a manner entirely satis factory. To-day it will begin operation. The compress has not been completed, but will be probably within the next week or ten days. It has approached comple sufflciently near, however, to permit the compress to be operated without much in terference from the workmen who are fin ishing up the structure and the bales of cotton will be formed into the shape ap proved of Lloyds without delay or the danger of unsatisfactory results. Great things have been done across the river and Savannahians are now in a po sition to appreciate it. The ugly and un sightly island has been transformed into a place where business methods and the hum of industry take the places of placid indifference to opportunity and the drowsy sleep of sloth. MOTHER AND SON ROTH StE. Wont $7.01)0 Dninnge* From Central for Injuries to Latter. Two damage suits against the Central of Georg a Railway Company, in which.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1000. TELEGRAPHERS IN A STEW. LETTERS INDICATE A DISSENSION IN THE ORDER. Secretary Perliaiu *ay President Powell Ha Spent All the Protec tive Funds of the Order and Han Not Won a Single Strike—Con voli tion of the Subordinate Divisions Called—Telegraphers' Order In Kow Without Fund.*. Atlanta. July 25.—Copies of letters which have been passing between President W. V. Powell of the Order of Railroad Tele graphers and H. B. Perham, secretary' of the grand division of that organization, with headquarters at St. Louis, indicate a serious dissension in the orderT Secretary' Perham has requested the su bordinate divisions over the country to vote for a special session or extra con vention of the order. Twenty'-one divis ions have already voted in favor of the conven<ion and the remaining four divis ions are expected to take action in a few days. The trouble grows out of the Southern Railway strike, which was directed from Atlanta by Mr. Towell, and copies of the correspondence between the two officials have been sent to all members of tho order. Becre<ary Perham charges that the Southern strike was badly mismanaged, and that the order suffered greatly in prestige because of the failure. He alleges that the president has caused to be with drawn from the treasury practically all the funds of the order, charging specific ally that $35,868 was illegally disbursed by’ the president’s orders, and that the pro tective fund of the order, instead of hav ing SSO,(XK) on hand, has practically no available funds. On June 26. last, when Secretary' Per ham Issued his call for the special session of the organization, he stated that the order had only $365 in bank. Mr. Perham states in his circular letter that the rela tions between himself and President Pow ell are very much strained and this Mr. Powell corroborates. NY lint Perham Says. Charge follows charge and each is an swered in turn. Regarding the failure* of the order to win their strikes in late years, Mr. Perham says: “Had the president devoted more time to protecting the membership at large, the defeats that we have sustained on the Bos ton and Maine, the New York, New Ha ven and Hartford, the Big Four, the Cen tral of Vermont, the Fitchburg Railway and the Southern Railway' would not now be a part of the history of this organiza tion.” Secretary Perham charges in a circular of recent date that in the strikers' news paper, published in Atlanta during the strike, ‘’personal vilification was heaped upon the officials of the Southern Railway in such a manner as to preclude the possi bility of a settlement being made favora ble to us and that it had a tendency to lower t'he organization of the railway' offi cials throughout the country.” LETTER FROM CHINA. Received in Athens ly the Mission ary Society. Athens, Ga., July 26.—A most interesting letter has just been received by the secre tary of a missionary society of the Pres byterian Church, which organization has been supporting a cot in the Elizabeth Blate Hospital at Soochow, China. The following sentence reflects the anxiety felt by the missionaries, at this point: “You 1 see from the papers what a fright ful state of affairs against foreigners in China there is. They say they are going to tear down our hospital, this w f eek, but we hope this rioting and war will cease before it reaches our section.’’ The letter states that the hospital was to be closed up to July 1. Dr. J. R. Wilkerson is the author of the missive. It is not known whether the building has survived or has been de stroyed. Col. R. U. Thomason of the Third Geor gia Regiment, stated to a News repre sentative yesterday that all of the twelve captains of the companies composing the Third had notified him of their readiness to go to China if the services are accepted by the government. Prof. Hugh N. Starnes the Univer sity will deliver an address before the State Horticultural Society which meets at Dublin, Aug. 1. His subject will be “Meat for the Millions.” ♦> WORKED PENSION SWINDLE. Old Kcgresfi in Atlanta Victimized Her Own Race. Atlanta, July 25.—5111a Smith, an aged negress, was fined $25 In the Recorder’s Court this afternoon on a charge of op erating a fraudulent scheme among the ex-slaves of the city. The woman had organized a pension so ciety among the old negroes, charging 25 cents initiafion fee. She furnished a book and a picture for $1 additional. Hundreds of the ex-slaves are said to have paid her $1.25 in the hope of getting a pension from the national government. The woman claimed to be the agent of W. R.

Rhenmailsm Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest and distress from tortured muscles, aching joints and excited nerves. The blood has been poisoned by the accumulation of waste matter in the system, and can no longer supply the pure and health sustain ing food they require. The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison ; and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy condition will the aches and pains cease. Mr. Janies Kell, of 707 Ninth street, N. E„ Washington, D. C, writes as follows: “A few months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma tism in its worst form.
