THE wADLEY MEMORIAL.
The Directors of the Association De-
eide Upon the Location in Macon.

The Directors of the Association De-
eide Upon the Location in Macon.
A meeting Of the Board of Directors of
the Wadley Memorial Association. Presi-
dent William Rogers in the chair, was
held at Central Railroad Bank in this city
yesterday, at which the question of loca-
ton was finally settled. At the last meet
ing, which was held on April 6, a commit
tee was appointed to take the sense of ali
the subscribers on this question, and
majority Of the votes being
given in favor Of Macon,
the board Yesterday unanimously
decided that the statue should De erected
in that city. It is pleasing to know that
our sister city highly appreciates the
honor thus conferred upon her, as iS evil
denced by an expressed desire of some Of
her city fathers TO contribute literally to
the fund.- as well as to make certain con-
cessiOns in the way of granting site and
providing means for the proper future
care of the monument.
AS already announced in the NEWS
the statue is now being executed by Mr..
Robert Gushing, OF New York, and will
be Of standard bronze upon pedestal of
Quincy granite. 1t will cost $l1,500, and
IS to be i'm position not later than January
1 next. The supervision of the work is
cOntided to a committee, of which Gen.
G.. NJ. SOrrel is Chairman, which commit
tee has charge of every detail.
Doubtless the Savannah subscribers
feel some regret over the rejection of this
city's claims, but the plea that Macon,
being the central point Of the Central
Railroad Company's system of lines and,
therefore, more accessible to majority Of
the employees, was one which could not
be overcome, so the point was Welded
without discussion and with every grace
and courtesy.
A committee, consisting of Capt. J. A.
Davis Of Albany, Maj. J. W. Green of Au-
gusta. and Mr.. A. c. Knapp of Macon,
was appointed to confer with the city
authorities of Macon.
The meeting then adjourned.
After providing for the Gushing con-
tract there remains in the Treasurer's
hands about S1,750, which Will probably
be used in the erection of a railing around
the memorial.

portions when an arbitrary is demanded
by road forming part of the line over
which freight is sent. The instrument is
in the form of quadrant. with two gradu-
ated steel scales parallel with each other,
one of them sliding upon the base of the
frame work forming the quadrant. A
silk cord intersecting the graduated slides
is fixed at the apex of the quadrant with
one end fitted 10 movable knob sliding
on the arch of the frame work, so that the
cord may cross the two scales
at any point, indicating the cor
responding figures which are cut with
the greatest accuracy in the steel.
By moving the knob and adjusting the
slides in accordance with certain rules it
is possible, with the most marvellous
rapidity, to ascertain the result in the
most complicated computations, which
weuld require much time and great care
to obtain in the usual manner with pencil
and paper. The instrument is arranged
to stand upon a table or desk before the
accountant. and is readily understood and
manipulated. 1t is claimed that the
work of five experts can be done with it,
and absolutely correct results obtained,
without any danger of an error existing
as in the old method. The instrument
will be placed in the offices of the Central
Railroad and the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway, where its accuracy
and the extent of its usefulness will be
thoroughly tested.

what the Signal Bureau Records Tell
About the Temperature OF June for
the Past Ten Years.
The cool weather which has prevailed
for some weeks and OccasiOned consider
able comment appears to have given way
10 a higher degree of temperature and an
increased humidity during the past week
or ten DAYS. Up to yesterday, however,
the month has proven to be the coolest
June that has been observed for
ten wears. The highest temporal
ture observed at Savannah during the
mast fifteen DAYS was 81 degrees, and the
lowest SIS. In 1882 the highest temporal
ture was o. degrees, and the lowest o..
In 1873 the highest degree of temperature
reached during the month was 81 degrees,
and the lowest 65. In 1877 the highest
was 80. and the lowest SO degrees. The
amount of rainfall during the month
of June. 1877, was S.52 inches,
in 1873. 6.99 inches; in 1882, 1.95 inches ;
in 1881. OBJ of an inch; and for the past
fifteen DAYS. ending last night, 90 inches.
The highest temperature reported IN June
during the past ten years, was in 1880,
when the thermometer indicated 100 de-
grees. The lowest temperature during the
same period was 6Sdegrees. The tOtalrain-
fan for that entire month was $50 inches,
or thirty one-hundreths less than has
fallen during the fifteen days Of June this
wear. MANY readers of the MORNING
NEWS remember the month OF June, 1876,
when 1880 inches of rain fell, and when
the lowest temperature for the month was
65 degrees and the highest 80. The rain
OF that month filed all the low
places and caused the rivers on
the coast to ''bOOm." The cessation
of rain was followed by a prOtracted
period Of hot weather in July. In look
ing over the records of the Signal Office,
one Of the most remarkable facts in con-
nectiOn with the temperature OF the sum-
mer months during the past ten years is
observed. The records show that in 1874
the hottest day Of that year was during
the month of June, when the thermometer
indicated 9S degrees.
The following table shows the compare
tive maximum and minimum temperature
and the rainfall OF the month Of June dur
ing the past ten years:

The DIxie-Brown Games To-AIorrow
and Wednesday-Notes from the DIa-
mond Elsewhere.
The events Of the week in base ball cir
cles viii be the games between the Dixies
and the Augusta Browns tomorrow and
Wednesday. The visit Of the Browns here
last year and their defeat Of the Dixies
made them the champions Of the State.
What they Will do this year remains
TO be seen. The stars wrested from
them the first games Of the season,
and il is understood that they viii make
g strong effort TO hold their record Of last
year against the Dukes. They were to
have played the Stars in Augusta on
Friday and Saturday, but rain prevented
both games, and the Stars returned to
Columbus Saturday night. The Browns
will reach here tomorrow morning
with their full nine and picked battery.
The Dixies viii put their regular nine in
the field against them, with Tanning in
the box and Fitzgerald behind the bat.
There is very little betting yet on the
game, but there is slight doubt that the
home nine, with the playing il is capable
Of will win on an easy score.
The regular schedule game for to-day is
between the OglethOTpes and Chnches at
Augusta.
TIE Base Ball League Guide, issued by
Davis Bros, contains the dates Of the
League games, and has been sent to all
the clubs in the State.
1t is understood an effort is being made
TO secure a game or series Of games with
| some Of the Charleston clubs. There are
| a number Of organizations there, but as
| vet little has been heard Of their playing.
/ Some enterprising CharlestOnian has
/ offered a silver ball as a prize tor the
/ winning club, ana all that remains is to
/ contest for it.
Some changes are contemplated in the
/ Base Ball Park, which, if carried out,
/ will add greatly TO the present arrange
ment. The grand stand at present is in
/ the wrong place, and does not afford tair
i view Of the field. Exchanged to a diagonal
/ position parallel with the base line, or if
moved back Of the catcher's fence, an ex-
celleut view Of the game could be had, as
| il would afford the occupants prospect
over the entire field.
The PalmettOs, cOlOred, of Beaufort,
and the Chathams, cOlOred, of Savannah,
will contest for the championship Of Geor-
| gia and South Carolina in an Interstate
match at the Base Ball Park this after

while carelessly handling a pistol in the
store. accidentally shot himself in the

Hospital. where the wound was pro-
nOuRced of a serious but not dangerous
character. 1t appears that some one
made an attempt TO rob the store lew
nights ago, and last night, when tne watch
mar had some Of the chambers Of the re-
volver which he had purchased loaded,
and was in the act Of loading the others,
the weapon was accidentally discharged,
the bullet taking effect in his leg.
