and There was Light. -

The connections with the lamps at the
I apex Of the new electric light tower were
made yesterday. and the lamps were test
ed about four O'Clock in the afternoon.
The electric current was then turned of
and the lights eXtinguished. The fact
that everything was in readiness for the
illumination last night was soon known
tlssqghOut the city.
As soon as il was dark a large crowd OF
people cOngTegated in Wright square and
on the streets in that vicinity. Some
expressed impatierce when at . O'Clock
the lamps had D3t been Feligbted, and
a few were hazardous enough 20
predict that they would not be
lit ii all. About $3.50, however,
when the majority of the members of the
Electric Light aaG Power Company had
reached the square the TIVE lights sue
cessiYely flashed from the summit of the
tower, and the event was greeted with
general applause, The effect of the
Display, W, While od it dld not of

mile distant. was exceedingly beautiful
and very satisfactory, and fully demon
strated that the tower system of electric
lighting is a success. The night was
quite dark. but the reflection was
noticed on the sides of houses beyond
East Broad street, or about half mile
from the tower. The rays % light are not
concentrated within a small circle, but
diffused over q large area, hence many
imagine that the system will not prove
equal to what is claimed tGF il. They
apparently overlook the fact that
the light is not intended to be
concentrated. but to operate in
conjunction with that thrown out by
lamps in other towers that are to be
erected. and by the combination of lights
to brilliantly illuminate every street and
lane throughout the city,. The tower is
greatly admired by all who have seen it,
and there is no doubt that the light, when
tine system is fully tested, will give emil
nept satisfaction.

Prof Curr at the Military Academy.
Prof. Allan Curr delivered a very elO-
quent and instructive lecture last night
before the cadets at the Savannah Mill
tary Academy. The subject, The His
tory and StOrming % the Bastile." afforded
a fine theme for discussion before an
appreciative audience. The lecturer began
with a description Of the BastHe, and gave
numerous incidents in its history, together
with many pathetic accounts Of prisoners
who were confined for many years within
its gloomy walls. At the close Of the lee
ture Mrs. Curr gave some very effective
readings. aud the audience, which in
cluded the cadets and a large number of
guests, were very pleasantly entertained.

rNr1cEn FROM HOME.

A Young Girl Claimed to Have Been
Abducted is Sent to CharlestOn-fn-
tercepted and Detained by the Police.
ga telegram was received at police head
quarters last night from the Chief OF the
Savannah police requesting the arrest on
the incoming train from Savannah OF
white girl named Annie Murphy. The
dispatch contained a description OF the
girl. a statement that she had been aD-
Quoted from her mother, and the request
that she be sent back to Savannah by
this mornings train and in charge
of the conductor. A detective was sent
to the depot with the telegram and on the
arrival of the train found the person
wanted and conveyed her to the Nam
Station. The girl states that the person
who abducted her remained in savannah.
She shed copious tears and avowed that
she had left home in consequence OF the
i'll treatment she had received"
The above paragraph appeared In the
Charleston Netcs and Courier OF yester-
day. Inquiry at the police barracks mere
failed to develop information further imam
that the case had been reported ana tele-
gram sent to Charleston as stated. a
message had been received in reply an
noIfncfng the arrest of the girl on her arri-
val from Savannah, and stating that she
would be detained there till sent
for by the proper parties. Inc
telegram was referred to 1.-THE glrPs
friends and a gentleman started for
Charleston by the first train and will re-
turn to-day. The party claimed to have
been abducted is an eighteen year old
daughter of widow woman living III the
eastern part of the city, and has recently
been seen in company with a woman Of
questionable repute, who it is believed,
Induced the girl to go to Charleston by
promising her money. The mother
claims the girl left her home shortly
after noon on Monday for walk, ana
was seen at the Charleston and Savannah
depot on the departure of the afternoon
train in company of the woman
who purchased ticket TO
Charleston. but did not leave the city
From all that can be learned there is no
truth in the reported abduction. The
charges of ill treatment are apparently
groundless, and it is believed the girl was
| induced to leave her home through infiu-
ences of base character.
