TORNADO PREDICTION.
Saving Life and Property by Prognas-
tiCating Violent storms.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14--Edjt0r Morning
rNel1S; The attention of Congress Is called
to the fact that some of the terrible loss of
life and property due to tornadoes can be
averted. In 1882, Prof. T. B. Maury as
serted, what was then the fact, that the
prediction of a tornado was triumph yet
to be attained by the science of meteorolo-
/ gy. In less than two years from that time
some predictions OF tornadoes were sue
cessfully made BY Lieut.. John p. Finley.
verified predictions is steadily increased
lsby knowledge Of the average
conditions preceding each series of tor
| nadOes, thus making the predictions more
definite and local with each succeeding
year. Already the predictions Of safety
for the day are effective. o. 3,22S predlc-
tons unfavorable to tOrnadOes, made in
1884, 3.20l were verified, and Of So predic-
tons that tOrnadOes would occur, made
in April and June, 1884, IL were verified.
OF 10 predictions that tornadoes would
occur, made in June and July, 1888, Is
were generally verified. When tornadoes
were predicted, in no instance did violent
storms fail to occur, either hurricanes,
! tornadoes, or hail.
The failure of some predictions is doubt
less due to inaccurate and insufficient re-
ports from sparsely settled regions.
W nile 1t is admitted that nothing like
absolute control OF these phenomena has
been attained, yet the above figures clear
ly justify the presence Of tornado signals
either OF safety or danger at every tele-
graph station in Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Georgia and North Carolina,
especially during April, May. June, July,
August aud September. 1t is hoped that
fs0nUrnEG u n al
submit estimates of the expense heces-
sary to establish such a system Of signals.
The cost would be a few thousand dollars
for flags or colored discs and for telegraph
service. WILLIAM a. EDDY.

ASSEMBLING THE SYNOD.
THE PRESBYTERIAN COUNCIL
TO MEET TONIGHT.

About Forty Delegates from the Pres
byteriea OF Savannah and Florida TX
pected to be in Attendance-ih ses
! sions to be Held in the First Church
The woodrow Controversy Likely to
be Renewed.
/ At O'Clock tonight TIE synod of south
Georgia aud Florida will meet in the First
| Presby terian church, on Monterey square.
The synod is composed OF representa-
| tives from the presbytery OF savannah
and the two Florida presbyteries. There
are about 90 churches in this territory
and 40 preachers. The pastor Of each
church and one elder from each church
are entitled TO seats in the body. This
would make the number OF deiegates about
| 1910 preachers and go elders. Not more
! than one-third OF this number, however, IS
/ expected 70 attend.
! The representation OF lay delegates will
doubtless be small. because the rains
nave hinQered the farmers very much
wish their work, and the majority OF lay
| delegates is often composed OF farmers.
The retiring Moderator, Rev. II. NJ. An
derson was TO preach tonight, but word
was received yesterday that his health
will not permit him 10 attend. The duty
OF preaching win, therefore, devOlve upon
the Moderator immediately preceding, but
be TOO is said 20 DO unable to preach.
About the only business To be transacted
tonight is the organization, which in
cludes the election Of Moderator and
temporary clerk. All OF the meetings are
open to the public.
Among the important questions to be
discussed is the action of the board in
removing DR.. Woodrow from the presi-
dency of Columbia University. HIS re-
moval took place about the first OF the
year, and il was because he taught rather
too broad, and, as the synod of last year
thought, too unOrthOdOX theory OF eve
luton. DR.. Woodrow is not without
friends in the church, and # is possible
that some OF them viii take this oppor-
tunity Of defending his views. The uni
Yersity is under the control OF the synOds
OF South Carolina, Georgia, South Geor-
gia and Florida, and Alabama. Some OF
the delegates arrived last night, and more
are expected to-day.
The Presbytery Of savannah which met
at Fleming, Liberty county, on Saturday
adjourned Yesterday. There were present

Prince Maxwell, a cOlored candidate, was
examined and granted permission to
preach. The candidate was formerly of
savannah and was educated at Tuscaloo-
sa Ala.

Rates to the state Fair.

Secretary Grier, of the State Agricul-
tural Society, has announced the follow
ing reduction in rates to the State fair
over the Central railroad:
From all points within "a miles of Macon
the fare will be &c. per mile for the round
trip.
From all points beyond 81 miles from
Macon the price of round-trip tickets will
be 50 so.
1t will thus be seen that the price OF
round-trip tickets from Atlanta, Augusta
and Savannah, Albany, Columbus, Eu-
faula, Cuthbert, Dawson and Fort Gaines,
and IN fact all points beyond "a miles
from Macon, on the Central railroad, will
be 81 so.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad has not yet been heard
from, but Secretary Grier has been as
sured that satisfactory rates will be
given.
Four cents per mile for the round trip
is the best rate yet mentioned by the
Georgia railroad,

EIGHTH GEORGIA REUNION.
A Call for a Gathering of It's Gallant
Survivors.


Survivors.
Col. L. NJ. Lamar. late Colonel Of the
Eighth Georgia regiment, Georgia Yolun-
teers, has issued the following call to the
surviving members Of the regiment:
A reunion Of the survivors of the Eighth
Georgia Infantry will be held IN Savan-
nah in Nav, 1886, upon the occasion of
the centennial anniversary of that veneer
able and illustrious corps, the Chatham
Artillery.
There are peculiar and potential rea-
sons why this reunion should be held. and
also why it should convene in Savannah,
our historic and beautiful city by the sea.
The immortal Barlow, the founder Of
the organization, lived there. and his
fame as a soldier and a statesman is in
terwoven indissolubly with its history.
The Eighth Georgia entered the war at
Manassas, and continued to AppOmattoX
To it belongs the glorious distinction of
receiving the first marked baptism of
blood in The colossal struggle. No regiment
did heavier duty. or bore more of the dan
gers and hardships of the tight, and none
passed through the four years of arduous
and deadly ordeal with a better record for
valOr and patriotism.
II Is fitting, then, that such a corps
should reunite it's survivors in brotherly
uniOn-should TeOrganize its scattered
fragments for the purposes Of peaceful
Observation-Disclosures take steps to redeem
from forgetiulness the heroic career it
achieved. All OF the surviving members
of the Eighth Georgia are not only cordi-
ally invit d, but they are earnestly urged
to be present and join in the reunion.
For information. members will write to
the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, at Savan-
nah, Ga, which company has in hand the
preparation for the reunion.

ASKING AN EXTENSION.
W. X. Murphey s. Co., of GAINESVILLE, IL
Trouble Meeting of Directors.

W. X. Murphey s. Co., of GAINESVILLE, in
Trouble Meeting of Directors.
The commercial agencies report that
W. R. Murphey & Co., Of GAINESVILLE, one
OF the largest houses in Middle Georgia,
are in trouble. The firm has been in ex-
istence almost ever since the war, and
has done a large business throughout
Pike and surrounding counties. The firm
was composed of W. +. Murphey, j. Il.
Murphey and j. 5. Banks.
When the disastrous fire occurred in
GAINESVILLE, about fifteen months ago, the
firm was one OF the heaviest losers. The
fire, 1t was claimed. originated from
sparks from a Central railroad engine.
and soon after its occurrence numerous
suits were entered against the road for
the recovery OF damages W. 4. Murphey
& Co. are suing for $4,000, which they
say they are confident of recovering. The
loss at the fire, they say, crippled them
severely, out they have been in business
constantly since with a lively trade all
the time. A few days ago they announced
TO their creditors that they owed
A. Murphey, Of the firm Of J.
J. Murphey Il Co.. $4,000, and that
they desired to sell out to j. r. Murphey
Il Co., in which firm A. Murphev is part
uer. This announcement caused a meet
ing Of the creditors OF w. X. Murphey IL
Co., In GAINESVILLE on Monday. On Mon
DAY night they held a meeting, but none
Of the proceedings were made public
The assets Of the troubled firm are nomi-
nally $4,000, while their liabilities are
said TO be S5l 900. The firm, it Is said, did
most OF its buying in this city, and the
bulk OF its debts are understood to be due
here
