THE Usher.
Some of the People and Things He Has
to Contend with,

The theatre usher's lot is not altogether
a happy one. He has difficulties to con-
tend with that the average theatre-goer
garded in the light Of a convenience he is
looked upon py many as a sort of OBJ
trusive evil. In the hurry and rush Of
800 people to get into the theatre all at

not alone difficult, but extremely vexa-
tiOus. He is expected to seat everybody
at Once and put everybody In tho right
seat. The latter be usually does. But

encounter the nuisance that every theatre

and there are twO0 OF them. He goes early,
picks out the seat in the parquet or dress
circle that suits his fancy, and settles
into it with n sort Of lm-gOing-tO-stay-
here air. And he does stay there unless
tue usher happens TO lie "A bigger mar.
which is seldom the case, and then there
is a rOw. He ia perhaps not disturbed
until the the3ter is wellflled and the cur

lady holding checks for the seats are
shown down the aisle. The seats are OF
course occupied. Tle occupant for once
is deeply Interested in what II going on on
the stage, aud does not recognize the
usher, who asks for his check. After a
second or third request, he growls out
that he has none. "fben you must

Water-The Chain-GAngs at Work.
Since last weeks storm S~avannahians
have kept an eye close on the weather.
one storm a year like that of Aug. 25 Is
about enough. The gale of Monday sue
ceediug tina Of a week ago did consider
able damage in the country, so far as re-
ports have been received, to roads and
crops.
The %Skidaway road, nea the Isle OF
Hope causewav, Is washed out, and is
almost impossible. Considerable damage
was also done 10 the Cedar Hammock
road. The low lands are overlooked, and
rCadbeds were for the time rivers. The
water in the Casey canal was flowing yes
terday Ike a mill race, and a boat could
have been r0wvd across the county
from the Catholic cemetery on the
Thunderbolt road 10 Hayner's bridge on
the Montgomery road.
The two chaiu-gaugs which were at
work on the Besulieu causewav viii be
put at work today repairing the Skida-
way road, and viii open the bitches lu
that part of the county. At Bethesda
station, on the City and Suburban rail
way. Yesterday. the water was nearly
knee deep for an area Of - feet. NO work
has yet been done AT this point by the
Changing, bat II viii receive attention
as soon as possible.
Keeper Toriay reports some damage to
the roads and walks IN Laurel Grove
Cemetery, but says he will nave the place
in good order by sunday, if the weather
is good during the rest of the week.
Workmen We're busy all day yesterday
repairing the DAMAGE done to the Coast
Line railroad. The track was washed in
many places, but in no place for any dis
lance. The largest washOut was on the
Bonaventure grade, where several yards
Of embankment were carried away. The
track, however, remained, and was tenn
porarily repaired with planks, so that the
cars did not lose any trips. The
holes are being rapidly filled
up and the line will soon be in order again.
The flat land south of the track and east
of the Savannah, Florida aud Western
junction, was flooded and the water COW
cred the floors Of some OF the shanties
that stand in the neighborhOod.
Crops in some parts OF the county were
considerably damaged. Most OF them,
however, are too far advanced for the loss
to be very serious.
The storm yesterday was not by any
means as severe in the city as that Of the
day before. 1t passed chiefly to the south
and east of the city. AT V~hunderbOlt it
was more severe than at any other point.
The rain was accompanied by a very
strong wind, and some small boats that
were out on the river narrowly escaped
capsizing.
A washout on the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, near Blackshear,
delayed the north-bound train, due at S:25
O'Clock last night, about two hours. The
damage was not serious.

Since the construction Of the railroad
from Enterprise to Titusville, Fla, has
commenced the citizens along the shores
of the Indian river see the necessity Of
having this stream cleared Of all hindran-
ces to navigation, and they are now tax
ing steps, says the Jacksonville Herald,
to secure an appropriation fer that pur-
pose at the next Congress. Many years
ago there was y feet Of water at
the point known as Gilbert's bar,
but the inlet from st. Lucie
river has been closed up by sand, which
reduced the depth Of water to only II few
feet. BY opening this inlet it is believed
20 feet OF water can be had in the channel
at the bar, and one Of the greatest tr0u-
bles be overcome. Parties from that sec
ton say that il would take a very small
amount of money to open the inlet again,
and it, with Indian river clear. would give
the most direct and shortest route from
Titosville To Punta Rassa, Cuba and the
Bahama Islands. 1t would not take
much work or money to make
Indian river nayigable for large
steamers, that portion called the "Nar-
rows being the greatest obstruction to be
removed. Several parties in jacksonville
have been asked by the citizens of the In
dian river to assist in securing the appro-
p~riatiOn necessary for the accomplish
ment of the object so much desired. The
opening up OF Indian river to the nayiga-
ton of large steamers would give the neW
railroad quite an impetus.

FreIght TraIn Brnkes.

The Lehigh Valley road IS experiment.
ing with automatic brakes on freight
trains. A few DAYS ago a train of seven
teen cars running 40 miles an hour was
stopped by the brake in distance of 1871
feet on a down grade of - feet to the
mile. In speaking of the tests, the divi-
sion superintendent OF the road says:
''The period in coming when an hours
time difference in delivering freight at Its
destination will control the business.
Rates are to be the same ver all routes to
competing points. Speed and safety will
be the consideration with shippers. We
have no trouble in running freight trains
fast. We could run them as fast as ex-
press trains. The trouble is to Stop them.
With our hand brakes and ordinary train
crews, on the down grade where this test
was made, we couldn't have stopped that
train short of Phillipsburg, nearly ten
miles away. suppose there had been a
Pullman car on the track In that dis
lance! All the roads of the country will
oOner or later equip freight trains as
completely as passenger trains in the
matter Of brakes"
