SIX Foot Alligator slaughtered.

Mr.. Won Eberstein, clerk on the wharyes
OF the Savannsh, Florida and Western
Railway, distinguished himself yesterday
BY slsughtering q large alligator, six feet
long, with an axe. On Tuesday some OF
the clerks on the wharf discovered an ALI
gator in the canal, half buried in the mud,
leading into Lawton's field, and several
shots were fred a. him without effect
During the afternoon a crowd assembled
and pelted the gator with rocks
and sticks, but failed to dislodge him or
make any impression upon him Yesterday
morning he was discovered at low tide in
the marsh near the shore, and Mr. Eberstein
procuring an axe proceeded to the spot and
recOnnOitered, with the view Of getting a
good lick at bis 'gstOrship. As be sp-
preached the alligator opened his immense
jaws as though he would be most happy to
take him in, when Mr. E with quick and
well directed swing, let the keen bladed axe
descend. IL struck the reptile in the neck,
nearly seveTing the head, and completely
disabling the monster. A rope was tied to
the body and the gator was hauled of on
LAID and measured, and found 10 be six
feet SIX inches in length.

Taken HI ON the street.

Yesterday afternoon, about half past six
o'clock, a white man was found sitting in
the doorway of a house on Bay street, near
Whitaker, completely Frustrated and with 9
high fever, He was slightly delirious, and,
by the direction of the Health Officer, who
CHANGED to be passing while Policeman deg
nan was endeavoring to get the poor fellow
on his feet, wagon was procured and he
was conveyed TO the hospital. It appears
that he had been in that Institution for some
time and was discharged, but had not, it
seems, entirely recovered.

THE TEaRrHLE TEREDo.
A sure Protection Against the Raw
ages of this Destructive Parasite
The Improvement of the ROadbed
of the Charleston and Savannah
Railway.

Capt. ]. w. Craig, the roadmaster Of the
Charleston and Savannah Railway, who was
sent out by Superintendent Gadsden to
make survey Of the Mobile and New Or
leans Railroad and ascertain by a personal
inspection the value Of using creosoted tim
Der in the construction OF railroads,
wharves, ETC., as protection against the
terrible Teredo, has returned to the city and
made his report. He found that the creoso-
ting proc is a perfect protection against
the ravages of the Teredo, and at West
Pascagoula saw piles that were put in six
years ago in perfect preservation. He also
found that the life Of timber sub
jected to this process, but not
exposed to the worm, was in
creased, and at West Paseagoula saw two
inch plank used in building abutments per-
fectIy preserved. Whether exposed to the
weather or buried under ground, it was
alike well preserved and sound in every
particular Ga the Mobile and New Orle-
ans Road it is used in building frames, in
planking platforms, in the construction of
trestles and bridges, with the same favorable
result, and from one end of the road to the
other he could not find an inch OF decaying
softer woods are better suited to the pro-
cess, as they absorb the oil more rapidly.
The woods used are the loblOllY pine, gum,
osk, ash, maple and beech. The soft yellow
pine, which so largely abounds in this State,
is especially well suited to the creosOting
process, as the sap vessels in it are large.
In treating the timber 1t is placed In large
iron holders aud completely relieved, by
evaporation, of all the moisture It contains.
After this has been done coal tar oil is
forced into the sap vessels Of the timber by a
pressure OF from one hundred and twenty to
one hundred and thirty pounds to the square
inch, the pressure being completed and the
timber ready for use in about thirty-six
hours after it Is placed In the iron tanks or
holders.
Capt Craig's investigation was made with
a view to using the creosoted timber In
number of places along the lac of the
Charleston and Savannah Road, where the
ravsges of the worm battle the skill Of the
architects and greatly increase the cost OF
maintaining the line.
So well convinced Is Mai Gadsden of
the creosoting process that he is now nego-
tiating for the purchase of a lot OF piles for
use on his road. The piles are worth from
$40 to $12 each, delivered in the cars at the
place of manufacture. but even at such fig
ures it would be economy to buy them.
The Charleston Ne1ss and Courier, noting
as above the investigations of Captain Craig,
GAYS: alt is probable that q company may
be organized in this city for the preparation
of timber by the creosOting process. There
is certainly room for remunerative invest
ments In go valuable an industry"

The RaIscd Rates on the Savanna al,
Florida and Western Hallway
The People Satisfied.


The following from the Thomasville
from the Railroad Commission, already
published in the MORNING NKws, increas
ing the maximum rates for all distances on
cotton on said railway thirty per cent. above
the standard tariff and on class goods for
distances over one hundred miles twenty five
per cent. above the standard tariff, will be
read with interest
"The Railroad Com mission, In conformity
with their oft repeated assertion, that they
intended giving to each and every road In
the State, paying rate, have advanced the
rates on the Savannah, Florida and Western
as per circular No. II, which appears below.
This action of the Commission, while It is
doubtless satisfactory to the road, will re-
ceive the endorsement of the people along
the line. After a thorough investigation
the Commission conclude that this
new rate will pay running expenses,
keep up the road and pay fair dividend
on the investment This Is just
what the road should have, and 1t Is
just what the patrons of the road have
been willing all along for it to have. They
do not want Mr. Plant to run his road at
loss. They know he must make something
In order to run 1t successfully. And they
are largely interested in it being run sue
cessfully. In fact, in this respect, the in
terest OF the road and people are identical.
We congratulate Col. Haines on getting 3
satisfactory rate, and the Commission on
having convinced the Savannah, Florida and
Western people that their interests are safe
in the hands of the body. Under the new
rate cotton will be shipped from this point
to Savannah at fifty five cents per hundred.
"Since writing the above we have received
the following dispatch:
"'ATLAETA, GA, August IL, 1881.
"'Cdptdin John IripIett: Advance allowed
by Commissioners is only 80 per cent. On
their regular standard tariff, which gives US
forty eight cents at Townsville instead Of
forty-three cents on cotton.
"'H. NJ. HAINEs, G. M
eve fell into the very natural error of
confounding the standard rates. with the
subsequent rate allowing the road 43 cents
from Townsville. The rate, as it now
stands, is 4S cents. II this rate is not re-
munerative, or does not prove so, We are
sure that the Commission will increase 1t.
As stated above, the patrons of the road are
perfectly willing for 1t to have a fair paying
rate. They are, In all fairness and equity,
entitled to this"

Fighting in the street.

About u o'clock yesterday some excite
ment was created on St. Julian street, near
Lincoln, by a fight between three white
men and a negro. The parties were all
under the influence Of liquor, and it seems
had falling out with the negro, when one
of them knocked the darkey down and
kicked and cuffed him brutally. The ne
gro, whose name is James Blair, made a
feint as though to draw q pistol when he
managed to get on his feet, which caused
some of the ASSISTANTS to retreat. Police
man Reilly reached the scene In good time
and captured Blair and man named James
Blaine. The others escaped. From what is
stated, it would seem that the colored man
was not to blame, and was very roughly and
cruelty treated. An investigation into The
matter will be held IN the Police Court this
morning.
