UNION-RECORDER.
Augusta Letter.
Augusta, Ha., Sep. I6tli, 1887.
Euitob Union Kkcordbb:*
While tlu* outgoing freight train on
the Port Royal and Western Carolina
Railroad was crossing the bridge over
the Canai last Monday one of the cars
Jumped the track and running against
the sides of the bridge demolished
that structure in a few seconds. The
engineer felt the jar as soon as the
car struck, and opening wide the
valves of his engine reached the oppo
site bank just in time to be saved
from a horrid death. liehind iiiui
were several ears lying pell mell in
the canal, some of them shattered in
to atoms, while all were more or less
injured. The passenger coach at
tached to the train was the only one
left standing on the track, and the
single passenger, was conveyed back
to the city to await the departure of
the evening train. Fortunately no
person was injured, but the esoupe
from death of a small party of men
under the bridge was almost miracu
lous. Mr. Matt Rice and a squad of
convicts were in a boat under the
bridge at the time of the accident,
and pulled out just in time to save
their lives. The scene of the wreck
is about four miles from the city, and
was visited through the day by a large
number of people. The railroad au
thorities are putting up a temporary
structure, and will in a short time
place a substantial bridge across the
ragiug canal.
A called meeting of the city council
was held at the Mayor’s offloe last
Wednesday for the purpose of hear
ing Dr. Eugene Foster’s report upon
the proposed levee for Augusta, and
attending to other matters. Dr. Fos
ter read a long and able paper recom
mending that a levee be built across
the city from Jackson street to West
Roundary, the total length of the
levee to be 7,41)0 feet, with un average
width of 42 feet. The estimated cost
of the lever' will be about $51,000. The
Doctor also proposes a levee below
Jackson street and on Hast Boundary
at a cost of $20,000. This portion to
be paid for by the city out of its ce
ment revenue in installments of $5,000
a year. The paper shows much
thought and great ability on the part
of Dr. Foster, and 11is plan for pro
tecting the city from overllow is the
most practical ever presented. It is
to he hoped that the community will
endorse the views of this eminent
physician and authorize the council
by their votes to appropriate the
money necessary to building this safe
guard against Hoods.
At the same meeting of Council
• Houghton” appeared in answer to
charges preferred ugaiust him at the
regular meeting in August last. A
letter which he wrote to your paper
under date of July 8th was miscon
strued into a reflection upon the offi
cial integrity of the Council members.
The wiiter simply commented upon
the public school system in the .South,
and never once, directly or indirectly,
referred to the Council of Augusta,
And yet the resolution claimed that
his remarks were intended for that
body and cited him to appear and
prove the same. The case was post
poned from time to time until last
Wednesday, when Mr. Bredenberg,
the mover of the resolution expressed
himself as being satisfied that the
writer did not reflect upon the mem
bers of the Council, and asked leave
to withdraw the resolution. This was
unanimously granted and the matter
was dropped.
Tne Richmond County Normal In
stitute lias been in session the entire
week, and is accomplishing much
good for tlie teachers in our midst.
Prof. Lawton B. Evans, the able and
zealous Superintendent of Education
presides, and Mr. Burke, the newly
elected teacher of the Grammar School
acts as Secretary. Messrs. Evans and
Neely of Augustu, and Branson of
Athens, have been the principal lect
urers this week. I)r. Hull and Dr.
Doughty have also lectured on special
topics. Two sessions are held daily —
one for tlie whites anil the other for
tlie negroes—and are always crowded.
Mr. Evans deserves much praise for
inaugurating the Institute and for
conducting it so successfully. His
whole heart seems to be in tlu* work
and be certainly lias the approval and
thanks of tlie entire community.
Next week's program promises to be
exceedingly interesting.
( >ne of tiie brightest light- in Au-
gust.i society ceased to shine when the
soul uf Mrs. Sophie D’Autignac Par-
wile wafted its flight to the Hod who
gave it. For years she was the belle
of society, and held her place with
queenly grace. Mlie was not only
lovely m form but also in disposition.
Her many friends will miss her merry
laugh that often cheered a drooping
spirit, while her grief stricken bus
baud will carry a void in his heart
which nothiug but the grace of Hod
can fill.
Mr. L. F. Blome, our efficient City
Clerk is confined to his home with an
attack of neuralgia. His many
friends miss his genial countenance,
and long to see him at his post again.
In the meantime Rev. J. 8. Patter
son, City Auditor, is performing tlie
duties of Clerk, ably and well. Mr.
Patterson is one of the most compe
tent officers under Council, and is of
valuable service to Mayor May. His
department is a most important one,
and he has proven to be the right
man for the place. As a minister of
the Hospel lie finds time to supply
churches, and preaches the Word of
Hoil with ability and zeal.
Augusta needs rain badly. Dust
covers everything, and in the words
of another—“we pray for a regular
trash lifter.” Houghton.
