Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-03-28

An immense amount of work is going on
at the Central Railroad wharves. The mouth
of Musgrove creek has been dredged out
and magnificent basin for the accommoda-
ton OF steamers and other vessels made Of
it. A double pile driver is rapidly putin g
down the outer line of piling on the south
ern side, aud in few weeks there will be
a continuous wharf line from the elevator
to the street or causeway which extends
down to the river front.
The space extending towards the city
water works is being filed in with chaff and
dirt, which in short while will convert the
whole property at this point into a plateau
of considerable elevation above the highest
tides. The grain elevator is apparently
nearly ready for service, and we expect with
the next grain crop, If not before, to see it
in full operation. To those who take an
interest in great enterprises the work going
on over the tract of land, which few years
since was an impossible morass, is worth
their examination.

A Railway rTysrery solved.

In the MORNING NEWS, Of December 90
last, was published an account Of the shoot
ing Of s negro passenger by some one, then
unknown, on the evening train OF the
Charleston and Savannah Railway, under
charge Of Conductor II. F. Pinckney. The
train at the time was crowded, and in the
excitement the man who did the shooting
pulled the bell line and jumped from the
train. The item was copied into the Charles
ton NelgS and Courier at the time, and from
that journal OF yesterday we learn that the
mystery is Cow solved by an arrest. The
Nelcs AID Courier says:
Every effort, backed by a liberal reward,
was made by the officers of the road to dis
cover and capture the person who commit
mitted the deed. Detectives were employed
to work up the case, and as different clues
were taken up and led to nothing, the case
was considered hopeless. Il was not, how
ever, entirely abandoned, and when least
expected the capture was made. Justice
Gleason, learning from trustworthy source
that q negro, named Ben Washington, was
the party who did the shooting, issued q
warrant for his arrest, and on Friday night
Ben Washington was taken into custody
and lodged in the Charleston Jail to await
examination. No day has Yetbeen fixed for
the preliminary hearing, which will not take
place until ell the witnesses can attend, and
Washington's conviction and the reward
secured"

- The MaseOtteO Last Night - A
GronA Gnaoamm


The audience which filed the Theatre
last evening on the temperance here this
season OF Ford's Comic Opera Company,
considering the very inclement weather and
the Lenten season, was a decided compli-
ment.
The charming opera OF "The Mascotte''
was presented, and in s style which calls for
unstinted commentator. We do not re-
member to have seen a more enthusiastic
and delighted audience In the Theatre this
season than the ore last night. The encores
were numerous and hearty, and the applause
general Tie choruses were unusually fine
and the principal characters were cspitally
sustained. We were particularly pleased with
Miss Marie BOekel's "Bettins. F"
She is not only fne &C
tress graceful and winsome in her man
ners, but possesses q voice Of rare richness
aud melody. Mr.. Denham as "Prince LO-
renz0' was irresistibly funny, and had a
liberal share Of the hearty applause. The
"Fiametti'' Of Miss Mary Stembler was
piauant and pleasing, and "Pippo" and
Frederic" rendered respectively by Mr..
". II. Fitzgerald and Mr.. Charles F. Lang,
were effective in every respect. Mr.. Cur
leY's Rocco" was also good The Pages to
the King and soldiers Of Prince Frederic
army were beautiful and charming, and the
drilling Of the latter ELECTED enthusiastic
plaudits.
Altogether the opera was presented
IN a style that reflected credit upon Mr..
Ford's management, that showed the com
pauy to be a good one, and that thoroughly
pleased a large aud intelligent audience
We regret they cannot remain with US to-
night, but their engagements prevent, and
they leave this morning for Macon, where
we are sure they will be greeted By a fine
house tonight, as they deserve.

No interruption TO Travel.

A telegram received In the city yesterday
from Mr.. A. Pope, General Passenger Agent
OF the associated railways, states that the
destruction of the James river bridge, Of
which disaster full particulars were given In
our telegraphic columns yesterday, will not
interrupt connections from the North via
Richmond and Petersburg Road. Com
Portable transfer arrangements exist for all
through passengers and malls between
Manchester Station and Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroads.
The burning Of the bridge, however
caused the Northern mail which left New
York on Sunday morning to fail yesterday.
The telegram from Mr.. Pope gives assurance
that we will not be subjected to this incon-
venienee again, as arrangements are made
for the rapid transfer Of passengers and

A Coed O1der-Keep the Court Room
Clear.

Considerable inconvenience and great
confusion was occasioned in the Superior
Court room yesterday by the crowds that
rushed pell nell in, occupying the seats and
blocking up the passage ways. To those
who had business in the court this state of
things was decidedly annoying. During the
morning an elderly gentleman, merchant
from New York, strolled into the court house
to look around, expressed great surprise at
the sight and inquired IL such scenes were
usual about court rooms In the South. The
gallery was packed with colored people, and
the corridors and even the court room and
seats inside the railing were occupied. The
confusion became so great that daring the af-
ternoon the Judge gave instructions to the
Sheriff that previous order should here
after be enforced. That the seats inside the
railing were for the lawyers, witnesses and
jurors, and the gallery for the eoIored peo-
pie, and that the corridors and passage ways
must be kept cleared. The order is good
one, and its enforcement will facilitate the
businessof the court.

Rale OF Co1ton STOLEN.

During the late hours Of Sunday night or
early Monday morning, some thief or
thieves managed to steal bale Of cotton
from the wharf Of the steamer Katie. A
regular Waterman Is employed to take care
Of goods left upon the wharf, but the par
ties concerned in the robbery managed 70 get
away with the cotton without being observed
BY him. Considerable effort has been made
to track the thieves, but thus far without
success. As the river cotton averages over
six hundred pounds 70 the bale, the thieves
have made pretty good haul at the present
high price Of the feecy staple.

.sThe CommIssion -

Notwithstanding the exceedingly in
element weather q fine audience as
ssmbled at Armory Hall last evening to
hear Rev. Mr.. SweeneY's sermon on "The
Commission" l. was a consideration of
TENS OF salvation as set forth in the COM
mission of Christ to the Apostles, as record
ed BY the four Evsngelists. Although pre-
sented in a eonversatI onal style, and devoid
OF that beautiful rhetoric with which he is
accustomed 10 clothe his sermons, 1t was In
logical clearness fully the equal Of any dis
course he has preached since he has been in
our city. In response to a most earnest ap-
peal, four persons presented themselves for
admission. The subject for tonight is 1.-THE
Removal Of Stumbling Blocks" which the
speaker indicated would be an attempt to
remove the distractions in the pathway Of
honest induirers after light.

Recently two clerks, who were upaccus-
toned to riding, came to the conclusion
that equestrian exercise would prove bene-
fetal to their health, and accordingly
went TO stable and procured
two spirited animals for an afternoon
ride. Trey rode out several miles on
one of the roads, and one of the parties
found considerable trouble in controlling
his animal. Aud whilst on the suburbs the
festive equine became uDmsnageable and
dashed across the pavement Of an old
lady who appeared ve'y much augered, and
said to him: "Kape of my pavement phase;
bedad but you'll be coming into me house

The incident became known and the

allusiOn is made to his performances.
