Proceedings.

The session of the Grand Lodge Of Good
Templars for the State, at Louisville last
week, was quite interesting, and there was a
large attendance of delegates. On Tuesday
night there was a public meeting given at
the Baptist Church, which was so we'll at
tended that some had to stand out in the
vestibule. Mrs. Evelin Gilbert, Of
South Carolina, Right Worthy
Chief Superintendent of the Ju-
venile Templars of North America,
delivered an address to the parents and
children of the audience, and read beauti-
full poem. G. w Thrower, Grand Worthy
Secretary, was called on and made happy
effort, amusing and instructing the audience
by his wit and his solid argument. The
Grand Worthy Chief Templar was hunted
up for a speech, and was found behind a
door. He was called out, however, and
made good speech.
The next Grand Lodge will be held at
Acworth. The following officers were

Cotton CIassIaeations.

The Savannah Cotton Exchange yester-
day changed their elassihcations to CON
form 10 the American standard classical
ton recently renewed in New York and
adopted by the National Cotton Exchange.
The change went into effect yesterday at
one O'Clock, the differences being as follows:
Middling fair and good middling, IN

Middling, one-fourth grade below old
types.
Low middling, half grade below old
types
Good ordinary, three-fOurths grade below
old types.
Ordinary, one-hsif grade below old types.
The effect on those grades changed was
precisely the same as reducing their price.
For instance, st 10 q. m, when middiiDg

A Wonderful Escape on the Charles
ton and Savannah Railway.

The truth of the old adage, 'you can't
kill drunken man." was strikingly Illus
trated by an accident that happened on the
Charleston and Savannah Railway on Sat
urday afternoon. AS the train due in
Charleston at 9:20p. m. was nearing Jack
sonboro, the engineer discovered man ly-
ing with bis head on the track apparently
asleep. 1t was too late to stop the train,
and the engineer could only blow the whis-
tie of his engine and put on the brakes.
The negro, for it was q negro, must have
heard the whistle, for he raised himself up,
but instead of moving off the track, he pro-
ceeded to cross It on all tours. His death
seemed inevitable, as the engine Numbered
on, and in another second struck the appar-
ently doomed man. The engineer looked
hack and saw him rolling In the ditch at the
side Of the track
As soon as the train could be stopped, 1t
was backed to the scene Of the accident to
pick up the supposed corpse. When the
train hands and the conductor reached him
he opened his ewes and said: "Please, boss,
pick up dat Jug" 1t was then ascertsined
that he had been drunk and had fallen
asleep on the side of the track, using the
rail as a pillow. He had a bottle of whisky
in each pocket and jug of the same stuff
by his side. The point of the pilot Of the
engine must have caught him under the
stomach as he was crawling across the
track, and hurled him on ore side. His
injuries consist of several bad cuts on the
leg and heel, and a cut on the scalp, but are
not fatal He was brought to Charleston,
says the Netos and Courier, and sent to the
hospital.

Advertising That Paid.

Johnny Manning, the Sheriff Of Dead
wood, D. T., was in st. Louis on business,
and he remembered that year before St.
Louis man had been up to Deadwood and
left owing a man several hundred dollars,
which was to be paid as soon as he got
home. Manning met the man in st. Louis,
and he said be would hand him the money
next day, but the days passed and the
money did not come, though the man was
amply able to pay. So one morning Man
ming inserted a personal in a newspaper to
the effect that IL the man who left Dead
wood between two days did not pay the
money he forgot to pay, before night, the
whole circumstance would be published the
next day. The notice was signed John
Manning Sheriff of Deadwood." Before nine
O'Clock young man called at Manning's
hotel and said he had come to pay
twenty two dollars be had borrowed to go
out of Deadwood. Manning found out who
the money was borrowed from, and took 1t
to carry to the Deadwood citizen, remark
ing that he was not the man referred to, but
It was a mighty mean Sheriff who would
not carry money to friend. The next man
TO call was the one he wanted, and he paid
the money and apologiEed, and begged the
Sheriff to say nothing about 1t. During the
day seven citizens of st. Louis called on
Manning and paid him money for citizens
Of Deadwood, believing the Sheriff had re-
ference to them In his notice; and after be
had gone away, another citizen called and
asked the clerk for Manning, but the clerk
said the other fellows had all been there
and paid up, and this man had better keep
his money. The Sheriff said he always
thought advertising paid, but he never had
1t demonstrated to his satisfaction before.

In yesterdays News mention was made
of e colored man being severely cut on the
head on Sunday afternoon, and his removal
to his home In the western portion OF the

bears the reputation Of being an honest and
industrious person. When carried 70 the

SENATOR BECK.
He Has Not Heard From Mr.. blaine,
and Has Not Attempted 10 Fore.
stall Demo cratic Aegion-What He
Did Say.

A Lexington correspondent Of the Courier
Journal says "Mr. Beck having arrived at
home from his trip to the Northwest. your
correspondent sought an interview with him
relative to published interview, 10 which
he was represented as making certain state
ments about the organization of the Senate,
in case of Mr.. Garfeld's death, and dis
patch from Secretary Blaine summoning
him to Washington. Mr.. Beck replied that
he had been in the Northwest for nearly a
month on private business, that he saw very
few newspapers, and had not seen or heard
anything about the matter inquired OF until
he reached Cincinnati on Yesterday. He
said he had received no dispatch from Sec
rotary Blaine, had not been near Washing
ton, and was as'nnished when he heard
that such a report was in circulation. As
TO the other report, he said that the only
foundation for It was that on more than
one occasion men said to him that the Re-
publican leaders were seeking to persuade
the people that the sympathy expressed by
the Democrats, and especially by the De-
mocracy of the South, for President
Garfield was all a sham; that they
would rejoice at his death and at the assas-
sination of Mr.. Arthur II they could
elect President pro tempore of the Senate,
who would thus become acting President.
He denounced all such suggestions, as as
sassination was neither Democratic nor
Southern vice, and maintsined that our de-
sire for the restoration of the President to
health was genuine and heartfelt; that in
the event Of his death nothing revolution
airy or Illegal would be attempted; that
probably Mr.. An'hoDy or some other con-
sentative Republican would be elected;
that certainly the Democratic party
did not seek the mere semblance
of temporary power by a double assassina-
ton, with one house of Congress against
them and the other a tie. Mr.. Beck said
that he had no idea at any time that his
statements would be reported, and his chief
regret seems TO be that any one would sup
pose that he was anticipating the policy to
be pursued In the event Of the Presidents
death when he is so anxious for his
recovery, or that he should suggest in
advance what the Democratic Senators
ought to do. He said he was only one of
thirty-seven-one who had'never bolted and
one who had never sought to dictate. He
hoped and believed that the President
would recover, and would not indicate any
course on the assumption that he would not.
Whatever he may have said was to repel
charges or intimation of bad faith or revo-
lutionary purposes on the part of the De-
mocracy, whose will (when expressed after
full and free conference) will always re-
ceive his earnest and cordial support"

The Atmospheric Phenomena.
Washington Star.

The peculiar Appearance of the atmosphere
observed along the Atlantic coast, particu-
larry, for the past two or three evenings has
excited general attention. Scientists seem
to be somewhat puzzled to explain the phe-
nomena, though numerous suggestions are
offered as the probable causes of the remark
able tints and colors presented by the at
mosphere. In Western Massachusetts, and in
the Eastern and Middle States bordering on
the Atlantic ocean the singular coloring of
the atmosphere, imparting unnatural tints
to the grass and flowers, even to the earth,
itself, was first noticed last Tuesday. Tue
shadow cast over everything gradually
darkened, until in Springfield, Mass, and
other places lights were necessary to the
transaction of business. It was
observed that the gas and the electric lights
also burned with q peculiar blush light.
About the time the President arrived at
Long Branch q most remarkable mirage was
visible on the seacoast. 1t consisted of a
number of vessels, all distinctly outlined,
reversed, sailing up and down the coast
among the clouds. Wednesday night the
sky seemed to be covered with a thin mist,
or rather the mist appeared to intervene.
The moon was dimmed, and the effect
was to cast upon the earth a
peculiar softened light. This same
unusual scene was visible here In Washing
the representatives of herself shown in
magic lantern scenes. The unusual atmos-
pheric condition was visible here before
shutdown. The sun seemed to have lost all
its brilliancy and to have become pale ball
of fire, which it was not the least painful to
the eyes to look at. There was not breath
of air stirring and smoke assembled perpen-
dicularly from chimneys. The air was OPP
pressive. 1t is suggested by some
that these phenomena were caused
by the long drought and the in
tense heat; that the parched soil, convert
ed into fine dust by the passage of
man and beast over the ground, has ascend
ed and the finer particles have been carried
aloft by the hot air rising from the earth;
that as there has been no rain to wash the
fine dust out Of the atmosphere 1t has re-
manned above, forming a sort OF veil be-
tween the earth and the heavens. Another
theory Is that the misty veil which has part
ly hidden the sun aud moon, was produced
by smoke rising from the great forest fires
that have been burning for some days past.
This theory is upheld by the strong smell Of
smoke apparent for day or two. 1t may
be that the phenomena portend some singu-
lar atmospheric disturbance which is to
terminate the long, dry, hot spell Of
weather.

The audience were last night greatly
pleased with the improvements that have
been made at the Theatre during
the past summer. The private boxes are
neatly upholstered and are quite cosy and
comfortable, and the addition to the
family circle is a decided advantage,
as also the enlargement Of the dress circle.
The gas Jets for the front OF the build
ing have Just arrived and will soon
be placed in position. 1t is
also the intention of Mr.. Houston, the
manager, to convert one of the windows on
the Hull street and one on
the McDonough street side into
doors, which is essential and will
be q valuable improvement, facilitating
egress from the building, and thereby add
ing TO the safety of the audience in case Of

The Theatre-Opening of the season,

The Theatre was opened last evening, the
first time this season, by Anthony, Ellis IL
Hathaway's Consolidated Aggregation. The
building was packed to its full capacity, and
the gallery presented sight rarely seen,
being literally damned to the very ceiling,
the colored folks being packed in like so
many sardines, and crowded one another
so that there was a continual squabble
among them during the evening, which
greatly annoyed the other portion Of the
audience 1t was what may be termed q
rousing house. The performance was
pleasing and entertaining, the pantomime
of HumptY Dumpty being presented with a
few new tricks. The speciality part was real
ly excellent; the trained dogs were among
the best we have ever seen. The acrobatic
performances Of VIM. Gaylor have never
been e1ualled in some features and elected
the loudeEt applause. The dancing Of Miss
Jennie Misco and the singing of Miss Alice
Maurice we're very good. "Sadawah,n a
dark skinned beauty with marvelouly white
and perfectly formed teeth, was announced
as a Royal Princess of the Incas-the only
one ever brought to this country - sang
a song in an unknown tongue aud danced
very gracefully, her bright and gorgeous
costume adding to the effectiveness Of the
picture she presented. The same perform
snce will be given tonight.

Mr.. McMasters Discusses. in his Freenaa,a,s

Mr.. McMasters discusses, IN his Freenld'a's
Journal, the charging of money for hearing
mass in Roman Catholic churches. He
thinks that admission fees are IN direct dis
obedience to decree issued in 1866 by the
Plerary Council of America, which said:
1.-THE habit of requiring money at the doors
OF churches, that the faithful may enter and
be present at the Divine mysteries, our
Holy Father, Plus TX, has declared
offensive, and has willed that It be
altogether sbrogated. Therefore, obedient
to the judgment of the supreme pastor,
we will to put an end altogether to the GUS
TOM" The American prelates had pro-
posed that no one be refused entrance for
refusing to give money, but that contribu
ton boxes be placed at the entrances ito
remind the csrelessr of the duty of sup
porting the Church. This was the answer
from Rome: "Neither outside nor inside of
churches let any kind of demand be made
or the faithful, lest the shamefaced poor be
repealed from the holy sacrifice"
