We clip from the Way cross Reporter the
following well merlted tribute to the re-
Gently appointed special assistant to the
general management Of the Savannah,
Florida & Western Railway:
"We understand that Colonel Henry NJ
Drane, who was superintendent of the con-
structiOn Of the Wsycross and Jacksonville
Short Line, and since its completion has
been giving attention to other interests of the
company, hiss received the appointment OF
special assis' ant to the general management
of the Savannah, Florida aud Western Rail
way, which is, indeed, a very important as
well as responsible position, one in our
opinion upon whom the mantle could not
have fallen more deservedly, for he is born
railroad man.
"Iu addition, Col. Drane has also IN
charge, so we learn, the general and in some
particulars the details Of the Live Oak, Tam
pa and Charlotte Harbor and the Live Oak
and Rowlsnd's Bluff Railroads, making in
all, when complete, two hundred and sixty
miles of road.
"COl. II. S. Haines, General Manager OF
| the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway,
has shown his usual aptness and ability In
| this appOin tment, for his labors had become
so great. so responsible aud so arduous that
| assistance had become an absolute necessity
/ to the carrying on the stupendous interest
now upon his shoulders, and wisely did he
select Col. Drane, who has had some thirty
years experience in railrOading, during
which time he has filed with ability very
many important positions, to assist him,
and who will doubtless be found very use
tul to the interest he now represents"

The IAN Generalization RtlI.

Editor Morning Ne0s 1 do not wish to
tire your readers with a correspondence
which has already reached a length far be-
yond my intention or expectation at the
first, and will, therefore, end this one, 80 far
as | am concerned, with the remark that, as
"Reform" has doubtless had quite as good,
If not a better, opportunity than l have for
ascertaining under what particular set Of
Getty fathers" that "defcit" occurred,
which he claims ''the City Treasury shows
in the last ten years." l refrain from offer
ing any suggestions or remarks touching
that portion of his last communication, ex-
cept to say that If his statement be true, the
City Treasury, rather than the city jail,
needs the attention Of reformer.
l would again venture to remark that II
the object of consolidating the offices of
Sheriff and Jailer be to punish the city Of
Savannah for the Encouragement of it's
treasury, it is possible that, in few years,
1t will be sought to chastise the county Of
Chatham by putting the Jail back into the
hands of the city for the same reason, the
wisdom of which proceeding, to most minds,
must be extremely refreshing to contem-
plate.
But should the wonderful change be made
it will be quite interesting to all Of us to see
this matter Of "forty thousand dollars" or
any other "defcit,n kept straight by the
bubbing up and down Of the Expenses OF
salaries, guards, fuel, etc." to meet the
daily changes in the number Of guests at
this county hotel. It is a consolation TO
have that much to look forward to.
And II the thing works well in every way /;
II we find the flag of Chatham county a
better one to sail under than the flag of
Savannah; If we find the county of Chatham
all right, and the city Of Savannah fraud;
II We find the people of Savannah to be of
one kind, and the people of Chatham county
to be of another and better kind, then
say not only the jail, but let us move the
whole internal city over into the county Of
Chatham, and place ourselves under her
kind protecting wing. Adieu.

The Evacuation of Tybee I'm 1891
vUE,o Rauaoued the Guua

Editor Morning Meas: Allow me to correct
respondent Billy Bokus, in his letter Of the
18th inst. He says: 'Ms1. Tilton, then
Lieut.. Tilton, remained on the island with
small force, after the other troops had been
withdrawn to Fort Pulaski and elsewhere,
and removed two 10.inch Columbiads which
were in an earthwork near the Martello
Tower, and transported them in fats to the
fort, thus saving to the Confederacy two
valuable pieces Of ordnance" In this he is
mistaken. In the first place, Lieut.. Tilton
was not on the island at all at this time,
having been sent to Savannah to attend to
other matters. DR.. J. B. Read, then Cap
tain, was in command then of six companies
from the First Regiment and one company
of cavalry.
After the fall of Port Royal all the troops
were withdrawn except two companies, who
volunteered to remain on the island as
rear guard-the Irish Volunteers, Company
A, aud the City Light Guards, Captain j. B.
Read, commanding. This was the last Con-
federate force on the island. The guns
were not 10 inch but 8 inch. This / know,
for had many days hard work on them, and
| know that Lieutenant Tilton was not the
officer who superintendent the moving OF
Lneee guns. 1t Was Ll6ub6uduk .
White Of the City Light Guards. Lieut..
White had command OF gun No. l, Lieut..
Tilton of gun No. 2, and when Lieut.. Tflton
was appointed as acting Quartermaster,
Captain Read placed both guns in command
Of Lieutenant White. Colonel Wilson com
mauding the forces on the island, when
ordered to withdraw from the island,
ordered Lieutenant White to spike the guns
and bury them in the ditch. He thought
there were no means to remove them.
Lieutenant White stated that IL he would
send him two companies that he would
move the two guns. This he did and with
three companies OF Captain Reads com
mand, Lieutenant White commenced work
to build a road from the battery to the
water. About dark so many of the men
Of the two companies of the Twenty fifth
got sick that Lieutenant White sent them
back to their quarters, and, with the Efing-
ham Hussars, Irish Volunteers and City
Light Guards, continued. The officers
worked their men under the direction
OF Lieutenant White, and l saw the officers
working the same as their men. Captains
Read and Bird put in the big ticks. l saw
Captain Read up to his waist in the water,
assisting TO get these guns aboard. Although
he was then officer commanding he left en-
tire charge to Lieutenant White, as far as
the moving of the guns was concerned.

ness, which has heretofore lEnguished IN
the summer months, has continued through
the entire year. Nearly 100000 bales Of
cotton have been received at this port dur
ing the season just closed, and we have
every reason to expect that these figures
will be increased during the coming year to
over 100000. A like large increase iu
receipts has taken place 10 naval stores,
rice aud timber, and other principal pro
6 duets ae s. Ibis improvement in trade has
affected all interests, and our merchants,

Tbe Late CbarIe. Green. ESQ.

Referring to the death of Mr.. Charles
Green, of this city, the Columbus Enquire
says:
" Mr.. Green was a man of great gener-
Osity, liberal and progressive Views, and
ample means. He was a director and proba-
bly, the largest shareholder OF the Eagle and
Phenix Mills Of this city. Rarely, If ever,
have we been called upon to chronicle the
death Of one whose heart was as large as his
brain and his purse whose life was a happy
blending of the progress which awell-Ordered
head directed, aud the happy social quail
ties incident to true gentleman's generous
impulses. He WAS seventY-three years OF
age Sand so long life has rarely been &C
)rded any one who better or more worthilY
improved the opportunities offered in it.
Whatever rewards are awaiting the true
and Just he has already attained"

Last evening, shout seven O'Clock, as two
young men we're returning 70 the city from
a drive to Thunderbolt, the horse attached
to their buggy became frightened when
midway to town, and dashed of frantically.
The parties we're thrown from the buggy by
collision with tsee. which wrecked the
vehicle and snapped the shaits u twain and
freed the horse. The animal ran wildly
through the woods in the direction Of the
city and was seen no more. One OF the
Young men struck sgainst g stump, iDjurirg
his shoulder severely and otherwise brusing
him. He vas picked up by some parties
and brought to the city. His friend was
also injured, but to what extent could not
be learned, and probably had assistance
from Other Darties

The Youths, Historical Society En-


The entertainment given last evening in
their hall Masonic Temple) by the Youths
Historical Society was, as predicted, very
largely attended, and the increasing popu-
larIty of this new scheme for general
amusement by the society thoroughly de-
monstrated. It was undoubtedly one Of
the best OF the series, and was most
heartily enjoyed by the large audience
present.
The opening piece was q piano solo by
Mr.. Henry Gutman, entitled "Light Cav
airy Overture" which was very warmly ap-
plauded, and for an encore was given a
spirited galOp.
Master Albert Kohn gave an excellent
description OF ''Mose SINNERS Silver Wed
ding" which was greatly enjoyed.
Master Joseph Nsthans followed with a
bone solo, most beautifully rendered. He
wss accompanied on the piano by Mr.. Henry
Gutman, and was complimented with the
hesrtiest applause; in brief, three encores.
Mr.. Henry Appel, by particular request,
gave another Of his inimitable descriptions
OF "Sennegambian oratory." Mr.. NJ. s.
ROsenweig gave some vocal selections, &C
companied by Mr.. F. j. Ruckert on the
cithern.
Miss Sallie Nathans' pleasant and most
exceMently rendered description of "a
Country Woman's Visit to Stewards Store"
was amusing and excited the enthusiastic
plaudits of the delighted audience.
Mr.. Ruckert then favored the house with
a cithern solo, which was beautifully exc
cuted.
TIE President of the society, IN some well
timed and capital remarks, introduced Mr..
Jacob Strauss, who dilated at some length
and to the infinite amusement and edifca-
ton Of all concerned, upon the Wonderful
New Hair Restorer'
This closed the regular programme, when
the President of the society made few re-
marks explanatory Of the objects of these
entertainments, and asked for an express
ion Of opinion in regard to maintaining the
same. He called upon any gentleman in the
audience to express his views
on the subject. Repeated calls were then
made upon Mr.. Emile Newman, who finally
responded in one of the best logical and ar
gumentative speeches we have heard in some
time, setting forth the benefit to be derived
by such societies, and the good influence
they exert. a number Of new passive mem
bers were added, and the entertainment
closed with dance, the floor being cleared,
in which the young people entered with
great zest.

KNIGHTS TempIar.

There was a large and enthusiastic meet
ing OF Palestine COmmsnderY No. Z,

evening. and the members were thoroughly

A sample of the new uniform recently

sary number ordered without delay.
