TIE NEW ARCHBISHOP.
What He Says About His appointment
and How ft Was Made.

Right Rev. Bishop Gross, Archbishop
elect, returned from an official visit to
Macon, Washington and Atlanta yester-
day morning. In reply to the inquiry of
a NEWS reporter last night he SAID that
he had received no official notification
from Rome of his appointment to the
ArchbishOpric Of Oregon. 1t was en-
tirely unexpected by him. During
Council at Baltimore three names were
selected and sent to Rome, in accordance
with ecclesiastical law, and the appoint
ment was made by the Pope from these
names.
He was not aware of the fact that his
name was being used IN that connection.
He is unable to tell when he will enter
upon the discharge Of his new duties, as
it will depend entirely upon the action Of
the authorities Of the Church Of Rome.
An ArchbishOp's duty is to preside
over the councils of the Bishops Of his
province, superinteud their conduct, hear
all appeals from the decisions of Bishops,
and try all controversies between priests
and their Bishops, and to discharge vari-
Gus other duties connected with his prov
ince. The province of Oregon III
Territory, Idaho, Vancouver's Is
land and Alaska. The work is
mostly of a missionary character, and it
is thought that one of the reasons which
actuated the Pope in selecting Bishop
Gross was his splendid record as a mis-
siOnary, and his devotion to that order of
work.
During mis- recent visit to Macon and
Washington, Bishop Gross conferred the
last vows on five young ladies at the for
mer place and upon two at the latter.
Five received the habit at WASHINGTON.

AMONG The mARKEr GARDENERS.
The Damage by the Frost and Rains
The Pea Crop Badly Injured.

The protracted season Of wet and frosty
weather, it appears, done considerable
damage on the truck farms. The loss,
however, can only be approximately
stated. At Isle Of Hope nearly 100000
cabbages are planted, and though the
frost of the past week failed 70 iDjure
the plants there or on the farms on the
Ihunderbolt, Waters and the Louisville
and Augusta roads the excessive rams
caused them to throw out wide-spreading
leaves instead Of making solid heads.
Fully SOC, 900 plants are in this way liable
to be deprecated in value. The amount
Of the depreciation may be lessened,
however, by an Immediately recurring
dry spell and by other contingencies
such as the condition of the plants that
may be grown for shipment IN competing
fields devoted TO truck farming.
1t is estimated that fully one-third of
the English pea crop is damaged, the
varieties most injured being those that
begun to bloom. A farmer on the
Waters road told News re-
porter yesterday that his pea crop
was totally destroyed, the vines
having been cut down and the leaves
blackened. Other farmers reported that
only the more advanced growth had been
injured. 1t is estimated that there are
about thirteen acres devoted to this vege-
table on the Thunderbolt road, the net
value of which, under very favorable con-
ditiOns as to growth and demand in the
market, would be $1,000, or at the rate of
500 per acre. Other vegetables. such as
celery, carrots, beets, turnips. ETC., have
not been injured so far as reported.

The temperance Mass Meeting.

The friends of tempe rance in Savan-
nab are expecting a grand meeting at
Masonic Hall this afternoon. The princi-
pal speakers are well-knOwn and able
advocates Of the cause, and whose repu-
tatiOn are indeed world wide. Rev. c.
II. Mead has been for some years the
special evangelist Of the National
Temperance Society in the South, and has
distributed thousands Of pages Of ltera-
ture on all phases of the temperance
question. Mrs. Sallie Chaplin, a native
SOUtherner, has done more, doubtless,
than any lady 10 overcome the old time
Southern prejudice against lady lectur-
ers. Her deep earnestness and heartfelt
utterances have rendered her a favOrite
everywhere she has spoken. Her par
ticipatiOn in the meeting this afternoon
will certainly prove a very strong attrac-
ton. All who feel an interest in this
truly great question are invited to be
present. There Is no charge tor admis-

The Approach of LENT.

To-day is Quinquagesima Sunday IN
the church calendar-the last Sunday be-
fore Ash Wednesday and the beginning
Of Lent, and will be observed with special
services in the TItualistic churches.
The coming in of the lenten season,
which begins on Wednesday, brings with
il something Of sOlemnity even to the I'M
rejecting. The daY called Ash Wednes-
dav. from the early custom of strewing
ashes on the head as a sign of penitence,
is one of the most solemn fast days Of the
church wear. The custom, from which it
takes its name, was introduced by
Gregory the Great, and was afterward
sanctioned by Pope Celestine Ill. in the
twelfth century. and became universal.
Before mass the ashes were consecrated
on the altar, sprinkled with holy water
aud signed three times with the cross. As
the day is now recognized in the Roman
Catholic and Episcopal churches this GUS
tom is obsolete. The lenten period which
it begins is every year receiving more at
tentiOn and there is an increased degree Of
observance by all bodies Of Christians.

TEMPERANCE.
Not a clumsy oId Bni1ding.

SAVANNAH, Feb. 14.-EditOr NOraiRg
Ne,o8: In the report of the proceedings at
the Telfair Academy on Thursday last,
which appeared in your columns of Fri
day morning, l find the following SEN
fences:
"The speaker referring to myself went
on to show how, with this sum, the neces-
sary changes in the old mansion had been
made. The first step taken
and the trust received, the second and tar
more difficult remained, how to make out
of the clumsy old building museum"
etc.
Your reporter has applied to the entire
building (Which [ think anything but
"cIunlSy') my criticism of the effect of
the first change precipitately made by the
managers. The following are the words
l used:
'Impelled by an eager desire to press
rapidly forward in their work, the board
of managers were tempted to take one
fore this audience the result, and compare
the clumsy, Tepulsive and disheartening
appearance Of this hall, under the change
then ventured, with the lovely picture it
now presents, sure l am that all of US
would be of one unanimous opinion, that
to nothing can the old classic adage.
"festina lente''-hasten slowly-be more
fOrcibly applicable than to the dealing,
by ineXDert hands, with the subtle ele-
ments OF beauty in art"
Very respectfully yours,
HENRY r. JACKSON.

OUT OF THE POOL.
The Withdrawal of the Fink Lines will
Cause no Embarrassment.

The dispatch to the NEWS yesterday
announcing that Receiver Fink, Of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
system, had Withdrawn all his lines from
the Southern freight and passenger pools,
did not create much surprise. A News
reporter called on a leading Central Off
cial with the inquiry whether the
action Of the receiver had
been expected, and was informed
that while it was unexpected it was not
altogether surprise, for the reason that
when the receiver was appointed for the
East Tenne ssee, Virginia and Georgia, it
was surmised that the courts, in view Of
recent decree in a similar case, would not
permit him cooperate the lines in the pool.
One of the effects of the withdrawal, it
is understood, will be to increase the as
sessment of each of the lines remaining in
the pool to meet the cost of its mainten-
ance. This assessment will most likely
be an amount sufficient to cover the de-
ficiency created by the retirement of the
lines in the hands Of MIR. Fink.
When the receiver was appointed
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia roads needed OTerhauling and
putting in better condition throughout for
business, and hence tits presumed that he
may have deemed a withdrawal from the
pun Oi6 l4GdSuIC LCq ulSil0 10 securing lis
Improvement. In the absence of
any definite information relative
to the causes which prompted
the retirement of the Fink
lines, so to speak, the reasons for the
move can only be surmised.
In reply to the inquiry as to what would
be the probable effect on the roads termi-
mating at Savannah, prominent Official
saidhe believed that beyond the increased
burden of expense which the companies
in the pool Will be compelled to share,
the effect would not be disad-
vantageous. If the withdrawal had
taken place earlier when the bulk of the
cotton crop was on hand awaiting ship
ment, the matter might have caused con-
siderable embarrassment for a time, at
least. But just now it is between seasons
so far as the movement of cotton to the
leading markets is concerned.
The lines which compose the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia sys-
tenn are the East Tennessee
division and branches 364 miles, Ala
bama division 81 miles, Atlanta division
100 miles, Brunswick division and
branch 200 miles, Memphis and Charles
ton division and branches (leased) 800
miles, making total Of l, 431 miles.

sULLIvAN's COSTLY COAT.

The City Not Responsible for It's Loss,
and the Owner FOOts the Bills.
The case Of w. Sullivan against the
city Of Savannah, in which the plaintiff
claimed $50 for a coat stolen from him by
a tramp while he was confined in a cell
at the police barracks, was heard before
Justice Molina yesterday. The announce
ment of the trial was made in the News
on Friday. J. j. Abrams, Esq. at
torney for the plaintiff, and II. c.
Cunningham, Esq, attorney for the
city, argued the facts and sub
mitted the case upon the legal ones
tions It involved. Sullivan was arrested
Dec. 26, 1884, for violating a city ordi-
nance and was confined at the barracks.
While in his cell he hung up his coat and
it was stolen. Justice Molina held that
the city was noSresponsIble for the loss.

THE SUNDAY CLOSING.
The Bars Shut up at Midnight-Pro

The Bars Shut up at Midnight-Pro-
viding for the Day.
The saloons and Dars were closed
promptly at - o'clock last night in ac-
cOrdance with the resolution of the
Liquor Dealers Association adopted at
its last meeting to conform 10 the require
ments of the Sunday law.
At nearly all the principal bars the
regular customers secured 'pOcket
reVOlvers," and in some places
large placaTds were displayed
giving notice that the bar would be closed
at u O'Clock p. m. sharp. and that
'flasks" could be obtained upon applica-
ton and at reasonable cost. The beer
drinker invested in bottled beer, and in
some instances kegs were ordered. All
the dealers joined in the closing move
ment without hesitancy, and judging
from what could be seen and heard on the
streets last night, it may be inferred that
the usual side door customers will feel a
good deal Inconvenience to-day.

The Week s Attraction.

The leading attraction Of tbe week at
the Theatre Will be Seaman. the Irish
comedian, in "The Irish Minstrel on
Friday and Saturday evenings. In this
play Scanlan sings his now famous Peek
a-BOO" and a number of his new songs,
some of which bid fair to rival "Peek-a-
Boo in popularity. Mr.. Scanlan is said to
receive the largest royalty from his CON-
positions Of any of the song writer's of the
day. Unlike most Irish com edians he
has much to commend him to public
favor besides the fact that he is a delinea-
tor of Irish characters. He is young,
handsome, and possesses one of the finest
singing voices on the dramatic stage. His
music is winning, and so readily grasped
that it is no unusual thing to hear the
audience humming the airs between the
acts and as they leave the Theatre after
the performance.

A Curious Item About Gloves.

You have read a great deal lately about
cheap Kid Gloves. It's a difficult matter
to find bargain in Kid Gloves, and yet
we have black kid at 81 cents, which is
cheap. The very same gloves are sold else
where at 81. Now you want to know how
it comes to pass that we can possibly sell
a first-class glove at the same price as a
common article. The facts seems to be
about this: The large importing hOnse Of
Halstead, Haines & Co., of New York,
failed a few months ago, and sold their
entire stock, amounting TO a half million,
at public auction. Our New York buy
ers were one of the lucky purchasers,
and amongst the different lots bought
big drive in gloves. a great many of
these gloves were sold right here in Sa-
vannah by New York jObbers at prices
far above what we are gong to sell them
to you this week. Do we need to explain
that a house doing a large business, and
having their buyers il the New York
market continually, can purchase from
first hands and save you the middle-man's
profits? By reading our advertisement
on second page we will give you the style
and prices of the different gloves we are
selling this week.

Gross Address at Catholic

Library Hall Tonight.
The address of His Grace Archbishop
Gross at Catholic Library Hall this even
ing will doubtless be an event long to be
remembered by the Catholics of Savan-
nah, The association under whose
auspices the address will be delivered is
composed almost entirely of young men,
and tor whose welfare and progress Bish-
op Gross has evinced the deepest interest,
hence it is only natural that its members
should be eXerting themselves to make
this meeting, the last in all probability
that he will ever address in their special
behalf, one alike gratifying to him as well
as creditable to their association. This
fact, together with the regret felt among
Catholics generally over the prOspec5 of
his leaving Savannah at an early day,
will animate all who can to hear him.
a scholar Of ripe eruditiOn, it will well
repay any one to hear him. especially on
a theme which he himself has chosen.
The address will begin at $ O'Clock.
