Over Arlington Yesterday Morn
ing—Many Injured-
Arlington, Ga., March 22 —Arling
ton is tilled with weeping and desola
tion today. It has received the sad
det blow it has suffered in years and
dozens or families are made desolate.
Up to date Arlington, in Calhoun
county, was a peaceful town, with
happy people, but a blow has fallen
today in the shape of a providential
visitation that envelopes the town in
gloom.
A cyclone from the southwest struck
the town at 8:30 this morning and a
schoolhouse in its path was blown to
the ground and crushed. All the pu
pils who were attending school at the
tune went down in the wreck and
when rescuers arrived eight dead bod
ies were taken from beneath the lim
bers, and at least a dozen of thof e who
were taken away from the ruins will
die.
No other building in the town was
strnck. Two teachers were injured,
one of whom will die. The whole town
is in mourning.
THE DBA D.
Those already dead are: Alice Put
nnm, Claude Roberts, Ollie Paramore,
Willie McMurria, Gennie Butler,
Maude Johnson, Mary Wellows, Ken
nett Boynton.
THE DAUNTLESS DECISION.
1
Jur'ie Locke Now Has ihe Case Un
d> r Advisement.
Jacksonville,March 92.—Arguments
were heard today in the United States
court upon the exceptions to the libel
against the Dauntless, in which the
government attorneys contended that
the same grounds on which the Three
Friends case was remanded back to
the district coiirt for trial by the su
preme court upon an appeal, shoiild
atl'ect the case against the Dauntless,
as the two cases are exoctly the same.
Judge W. B. Young, representing the
respondents in the matter, con
tended the two cases were not alike,
and asked the court to maintain bis
contention. Judge Locke took the
matter under advisement and will
probably render his decision tomorrow.
HYDROPHOBIA’S HORRORS.
A Sivannah Woman Suddenly' Suc
cumbs to the Malady.
Savannah, March 22 —Hydrophobia
has claimed a victim in Savannah at
last as a result of the numerous ca
nines that wander about the streets
of the city unmuzzled. Miss Jennie
Glatigny, who was well; known here,
is the victim.

at her residence on Seventh street,
near Bull, from this most dreadful of
maladies. Her illness was short, but
she suffered many agonies during
the three days the disease was notice
able.

WEYLER WANTS TO WIN.
Again to Take the Field —A merican
Citizen Released.
Havana, March 22.—Captain Gen
eral Weyler left at 12 o’clock last
night for Cardenas, in the province ol
Matanzas, aboard the Spanish cruiser
Legaepi. lie will take the field again
and endeavor to bring General Go
mez to a decisive engagement before
the rains set in, for Geueral Weyler is
fully aware that after the rains begin,
it will be impossible for him to trans
port supplies to the the garrisons in
the interior.
It is also learned here that the plan
of the insurgents is to keep from any
general engagement, for they realize
that once the roads become impassable
the Spanish troops in the interior
towns will be easily starved out, and
be forced to surrender. The best posted
Cubans in Havana are confident that
Spain will he forced to give up control
of the island in the near future, for
with a bankrupt treasury she will be
unable to keep her soldiers together.
Already grumbling among theSpauish
troops in Cuba is very noticeable, as
they have not been paid in nronths.
The outlook for Spain is not very en
couraging, and General Weyler will
make this last attempt to crush the in
surrection the most vigorous campaign
yet.

Consul Marker, of Sagua Le Grand
Cuba, notified the state department

THE LISTENER.
Some of the Good Things Overheard
in a Brunswick Day.
Georgia's thirteen at Washington
have disposed themselves very com
fortably, although temporarily, for
the short session. Our Brantley has
sought a place where he could have
the intimate association of as many of
the Georgia congressmen as possible,
and is at the Metropolitan,where How
ard, Griggs and Lewis and Senator
Clay also abide. Bacon is in private
apartments on Oregon avenue, Bart
lett is at the bigh-pneed Riggs, Liv
ingston hangs out on New Jersey ave
nue and Lester inhabits a Cairo fiat.
Tate succeeds Lawson as the tenant of
230 A street.
Judge Sweat and Solicitor Bennett
made a record at Camden superior
court by disposing of three murder
cases in one day. Oue ot the defend
ants was Jim Mack, chargtd with be
ing an accessory to the killing of
Charles Brown, a sailor, by Harry
Lizzimore, at White Oak, on the Sa
tilia, the particulars of which are
well remembered here. MacK was
convicted of voluntary manslaughter.
**
Agent 11. H. Raymond, of the Mal
lory line, grew reminiscent yesterday,
and told a story. “Last year,” he said,
“when the steamship Ohio came by on
her cruise, we took the Dauntless and
met her off the Fernandina bar. Cap
tain Barstow, formerly of the Rio
Grande, and myself were on board. It
was the roughest of rough weather,
and the etout tug plunged and tossed
terribly. Pretty soon I had business
below, and wrestled with as severe a
oase ot sea sickness as ever troubled
mortal man. I felt disgraced, being
something of a sea dog, but felt im
mensely relieved when Barstow, who
literally lives on the ocean, came
crawling aft, with all the pallor and
woe-begoneneeß of a novice. He re
sents the joke to this day.”
*
* *
The Hon. Robert T. Lincoln was
among the more or less distinguished
passengers who came up from Jekyl
yesterday. It is only just to Mr. Lin
coln to say that he was easily one of
the more distinguished. This dis
tinction arises, not only from his be
ing the son of his father, but from his
notable achievements in his chosen
walk in life. It is not every man.
whatever Ins parentage, who lias suc
ceeded in representing his country
with credit to himself and his govern
ment at the court of St. James, and
the ex minister’s subsequent career at
the Chicago bar, if less conspicuous,
has been equally successful. In per
son Mr. Lincoln bears very little re
semblance to the martyred president,
being rather short and stocky. He
wears his beard in the English style,
and is one of the fortunate men upon
whom the honors of this world sit
lightly.
“TRILBY” COMING.
The Famous Play to Be Pres nted
Here Monday Night.
“Trilby” will be presented at the
Naval Reserves’ armory next Monday
night.
The play of “Trilby” is a grand suc
cess. It has become as popular as the
book. It was thought that “Trilby”
was ill-adapted to stage representa
tion ; that the popularity of the book
was due to its delightful dialogue, its
charming description of life in Bo
hemia, its elaborately developed stud
ies of character, so elaborate as to be
impossible of condensation into tbe
limits of a play, and that it was gen
erally lacking in dramatic possibilit
ies. The fallacy of this popular belief
has been made very evident by the
great success of Paul M. Potter’s clev
er dramatization, which has already
astounded the theatre-going public of
New York and" Boston.

OHIO’S CRUISE
ENDED HERE.
The American Liner Anchored
Off Sea Buoy Yes
terday.
PASSENGERS COME ASHORE.
A‘l Were Curious for News and Bronzed
By Tropical Suns-Steamer Pro
ceeds to New York-
The American line steamship Ohio
anchored off the Brunswick sea buoy
late Sunday night. She had on board
92 passengers and a crew of 107 men,
and had just completed a cruise of the
West Indies, touching at Bermuda, St.
Thomas, St. Kitts, Dominica, St. Lu
cia, St. Vincent, Barbadoes, Trinidad,
Santo Domingo, Jamaica, Progresso,
Vera Cruz and Nassau. The Ohio left
New York on February 20.
Early yesterday morning the tug U.
Dart went alongside the steamship
and took off twenty-two passengers,
who desired to continue their trip by
rail from Brunswick. Capt. W. J.
Boggs accompanied the passengers to
the city.
In the meantime the tug Iris, with
Surgeon R. E. Burford, quarantine of
ficer, and Mr. H. H. Raymond, who
carried a large lot of mail for the
ship, left for the bar to meet the Ohio.
The Iris and U. Dart met at quaran
tine, and after examination of the bill
of health by Surgeon Burford, the
passengers came up to the city.
After Captain Boggs had transacted
his business at the custom bouse, the
tug Inca, Captain I.omin, took him to
his ship, which was at anchor a mile
off the sea buoy. Two Times men were
among those who made the trip.
Captain Boggs to a Times man said
the cruise was altogether a delightful
one. Havana was skipped for pruden
tial reasons, but otherwise the itiner
ary was carried out in full.
There was much curiosity among
the passenger® -oe the t "p
in regard to recent „ ss
were showered on the people on the
tug about the prize fight, tiie inaugu
ration, proceedings of congress and
particularly about the sinking of the
steamship Ville de Saint Nazaire, it
appearing some of the passengers had
friends on the ill-tated craft.
The Ohio weighed anchor and start
ed for New York at 2p. in. Among
those on board were Roswell P.
Flower, 11. O. Armour, Reginald de
Koven and other notabilities.
The majority of the passengers who
came to Brunswick proceeded to Flor
ida. after stopping at the Oglethorpe.

BLACK TRILBY.
McCabe & Young’s Colossal Colored
Organization.
This well known and popular or
ganization, which is one of the .best
colored companies on the road, will
positively appear as advertised. The
names of McCabe & Young are well
known to the amusement-seeking pub
lic throughout the whole world, for
they have traveled extensively during
the sixteen years of their minstrel
fame. They have this season departed
from the minstrel line and are pre
senting to their patrons a musical
burlesque styled “Black Trilby,”
which has been a roaring success
wherever presented. Unlike the old
time minstrel show they do not carry
a hand to parade the streets, neither
do they present to their audiences the
monotonous, wornout minstrel first
part that has become a chestnut with
its stale gags, etc. “Black Trilby” is
an up-to-date show. The company
consists of fifteen members, male and
f-male.
