ACTORS AS BALL PLAYERS’
There are nine men in the "Belle of
New York," which comes to Savannah
to-morrow night, who play a jam-up
game of baseball. In fact they call
themselves the actors' nine, and are
ready to do battle anytime. It is said
that it is the proud boast of Edward
J. Connelly, leading man, that ti:e
nine can clean up anything stepping
around. So anxious was it a few days
ago to cross bats with another nine
that Mr. Connelly sent a challenge
ahead to the Dallas, Tex., team, for a
purse of s.lo, the proceeds to be given
to some charitable institution in that
city. When the actors landed in Dallas
they were met by a "gang" of out and
out professionals of the stalwart, cow
boy variety. The actors caucussed im
mediately. They sent greetings to the
baseball players and Incidentally ask
ed to be released from their engage
ment. The Texans understood, and the
game w as declared off. The actors how
e\ er, were permitted to contribute as
much as $lO to the charity.
PIGEON SHOOT DEC. 17.
T>r. F .C. Wi 1 no ii and Mr. H. M. Clapp
to Slioot Another Mntoh.
The second 100-blrd live pigeon
match between Dr. F. Cheatham Wil
son and Mr. 11. M. Clapp of Thomas-
Ville will take place Dec. 17, and will
be shot at the grounds at Avondale
Range. It bids fair to be quite as in
teresting as the former watch, which,
it will be remembered, was won by Dr.
Wilson on a score of 95 to Mr. Clapp's
86.
The birds for this match, as in the
former one, will be specially selected
for strength and fleetness. Three hun
dred picked birds were shipped from
Baltimore yesterday, and from these,
and some 200 others that Dr. Wilson
now has, will be selected the 200 for
the match.

ern Head the List.
New York, Dec. 9—All through the
,/arly morning hours the riders in the

former started in at once to steal a
lap. Newkirk’followed In hot pursuit,
while the others kept well up to them.
As the bunch reached the Twenty

Lean and Hall tried to steer clear, but
the impetus was too much. The riders

splinter removed from his scalp, while
the other riders escaped with a shak
ing up.

DETECTIVE ARRESTED CRIPPLE.
sinn W(I Trying to Palm Off a
f’liom-} Ring.
T. P. Wade, a white cripple, was
arrested last night by Detective Mur
phy, and is held at the police station
on a charge of vagrancy. The man
was picked up on Bull and Broughton
streets trying to dispose of a phoney
ring to a negro woman.
For several days the police have re
ceived complaints of men who have been
working the phoney ring game on col
ored women, and the detectives were
notified to arrest any one performing
such a stunt. Wade was attempting to
dispose of such a ring when nabbed
by the detective. When searched at
the station house he had a bundle of
cheap lead pencils, and several cards,
used by maimed beggars. The prison
er will lie given a preliminary exami
nation by Recorder Myrick In Police
Court this morning.

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 wiU
the aches and pains cease.
Mrs. James Kell, of 707 Ninth street, N. E.
Washington, D. C-. writes as follows: “A fexs
months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma
tism in its worst form The

V eneanelan Government in I p-to
l>nte in SniiiireHMiiiK Revolutions.
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)
Caracas. Venezuela, Dec. 2. —One
morning last week the people of Cara
cas who use the telephone were very
much surprised and alarmed at receiv
ing no response to their repeated calls
upon the central office. Any unexpect
ed occurrence in these troublous times
of revolution is sufficient to cause
alarm.
An investigation showed that the
government had got wind of a revo
lutionary plot, had taken possession
of the central telephone office and had
stopped the service in order to prevent
easy communication between the con
spirators and in order to use the sys
tem exclusively for its own purpose of
effecting the arrest of the suspected
conspirators, their friends and rela
tives, without loss of time. This was
done.
At the same time the government
caused the arrest of Gen. Ramon Guer
ra, Minister of War and Second Vice
President of the republic, at a point
near Puerto Cabello. He was impli
cated in the plot.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1001,
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
MARINE RAILWAY WILL BRING
VESSELS TO SAVANNAH.
The Hnarke Railway Nearing Com
pletion—lt Will He the Best on the
South Atlantic—Tag W. S. Brews
ter Toms IlreUge No. 4 to. Beau
fort—Loading Steamship North
man—Mutters of Interest to Ship
pers and Mariners.
Within a short time Savannah will
have one of the most complete marine
railways on the South Atlantic coast.
For the past year Mr. John Rourke
has been constructing a plant at his
shops, and at large cost has about fin
ished it. He will shortly have every
thing ready for its operation.
When seen yesterday by a Morning
News man Mr. Rourke said that in
the present undertaking his original
idea of building the best marine rail
way on the South Atlantic will be
fulfilled, and that he will be able to
haul out craft quickly and safely. The
close attention given to the details
of construction, he says, makes it
improbable that vessels will have any
mishaps in hauling out, such as are
frequent with less carefully built rail
ways. Mr. Rourke further states that
as he will be able to haul out craft
at reasonable cost he not only expects
tugs and small steamers from this
and neighboring ports, but he believes
craft will be sent here from away for
repairs. Up-to-date machinery counts
for much, he said ,and once the facili
ties for doing this work is known it
is sure to bring vessels here.
The Rourke railway is located at the
east end of the foundry property. The
Central of Georgia Railway tracks run
through the property, but this does not
interfer: for Mr. Rot.rue got around
the obstacle by putting the engine and
machinery on the south side of the
tracks, while the railway proper is on
the river side, with the cables for haul
ing the carriage up and down running
underneath the tracks. The track on
which this carriage rests is built upon
a foundation of deeply driven piling,
making it equal to any weight that
muy be placed upon it. The carriage
is of huge timbers .and braced so as
to make it as substantial as a solid
mass. On the railway the carriage is
so built that its surface is level at any
position, thereby keeping the vessel on
it in the same position it is in the
water.
If the Rourke railway is a success,
which ndw seems certain, the chances
are it will be the forerunner for other
large improvements by its owner. And
it will also be a big thing for Savan
nah in bringing vessels nere for re
pairs, which would otherwise go to
ports North or South of here. Com
petition must be met as it is, but the
fact that the latest improvements are
embodied in Savannah’s railway will
make it the more attractive and profit
able for vessel owners desiring work
of this kind.
When the railway Is ready to operate (
the citizens of Savannah will have an
opportunity to witness it. The inten
tion is to arrange for the hauling out
of a vessel when the railway is fin
ished, so that the visitors on this oc
casion may see with what ease and
safety the immense weight of a vessel
may be handled.
The tug W. S. Brewster, which has
been at Rourke’s shops for repairs, was
turned out yesterday, together with
dredge No. 4, owned by P. Sanford
Ross. The Brewster left for Beaufort
with the dredge in tow, where work is
to be done in front of the government
docks.
Stevedore Wm. Butler is loading the
steamship Northman. She is the sec
ond of the Northwest Steamship Com
pany’s steamers to load lumber at Sa
vannah. Mr. Butler hopes to finish the
cargo not later than to-morrow. The
Northman will take about 1.300,000 feet.
