Monumental c0urch last night. At the
morning service the communion wac
celebrated, and the pastor, Rev. T. I.
Christian, received a large class into
membership.
At Wesley church Dr.Hopkins preached
an able sermon from the text, wv DO

me from secret faults. Keep back Thy

tlonal tracks, have been added to the rail

Savannah's Army Of Infants and
when to see Them.
ANY one who walked from Brougbton
street through Bull street and the Park
yesterday afternoon could not fail to be
convinced that Savannah's population is
not going to be diminished for at least an
other generation. Yesterday though cool
was pleasant out OF doors, and the PARK
aud squares were full Of babies Of every
class, color and condition. The babies
that were not out of doors
were in front windows, and
nearly every house seemed to nave one or
more on exhibition. They were astonish.
ingly numerous.
A MORNING NEWS man, going out Bull
street, counted 81 babies between State
street and the Park, and in the Park 1t
was babies everywhere. Stopping at the
house of a friend, the first thing, after the
servant, that presented itself was
a baby in the centre OF the
parlor as happy as clam at
nigh tide. The door bell rang and a
neighbOr came in. 1t was a lady. ~
thought i would bring my baby in 10 see
yours" she said to the lady of the house,
and right away the little seraphs were
clasping their chubby hands and smiling
at each other In silent happiness.
Returning down town in car it was
still more babies. Before going a block
tw0 women entered aud they bad babies
with them. A carriage passed and there
we're babies in it. In fact there were
babies aud babies and it was not a good

THE TANCRED's EXPERIENCE.
A Sea Captain Encounters Gales
and an Earthquake.

ahA GA
The Norwegian bark Tancred, Capt.
Bjortsen, arrived at quarantine Saturday
rom Santos after a voyage of 81 DAYS.
the Captain reports pretty fair weather,
except during the latter part of October,
when 10 lat. -, long. 65, ne encountered a
very severe gale which set In from the
southeast, and yeered around TO the
southwest. The blow commenced about 6
O'Clock IN the evening and lasted fully
lwenCy-tOur hours. The seveTest part
OF the gale was felt about O'Clock In the
morning The bark passed through 1t
without damage. Tne Captain says the
most remarkable thing about the storm
was that it came entirely unexpected,
being in the trades and eight days alter
lull moon. A gale in that locality under
such Gil cumstances Is unusual.
Tue Captain had fine weather and no
OF itr unusual experience until last FRI
day at noon, Tybee light bearing north
west by west, when Tue vessel was Jared
and every thinner in uer quve; ed. The
Captain was just sitting down TO dinner
wnen he teit the shock, and tue mate
rushed into the cabin exclaiming that the
vessel had struck and was ashore. The
Captain went on deck and on sounding
found nine fathOms OF water. The vessel
was about fifteen miles from Tybee,
so that she could not be ashore
nor did she show any signs
of LEAKING. All hands were puzzled TO
know what it meant, but when the vessel
got into Iybe tue first news OF the earth
quake shocks was heard and the matter
was explained. The Tancred will pro-
coed to Brunswick TO load.

BASE BALL NEWS.
Jottings Picked Up Here and There
in the Base Ball World.

IN the Base BAN w OFI0.
The National League base ball meeting,
to be held in Chicago next week. Nov. Il,
promises to be an unusually interesting
one. The personal contract system. no
doubt, Will be the leading topic of DIS
cussiou, and the indications are that a
rule will be p assed prohibiting it.
An important matter that will interest
all the clubs is the guarantee system. 1t
has been the custom of the league to paw
30 per cent of the receipts to a visiting
club, and, as it has been discovered of late
that all the money is in the East and that
the Western clubs are supported by the
Eastern clties. a change 10 demanded by
the Eastern clubs. OF the four Western
league cities Chicago alone is a good base
bali town. while in Detroit, st. Louis and
Kansas City the attendance is very light.
The Detroit Club took more money away
from New YOrE, Boston or Philadelphia
on its first trip East than any one OF the
above named clubs received in Detroit
during the whole season.
Much has been said us TO the relative
strength of the clubs in the league and
the American Association, and a number
OF games are played between these or
Ranizatlons in the spring and fall, but as
they are exhibition games they virtually
amount TO nothing.
The directors OF the Nashville Base Ball
Club are negotiating with several parties
of reputation to secure a manager for
next season. 1t is probable that the
party selected will be a most successful
manager OF well known Eastern club of
the past season.

THE PLAN DIDN'T WORK.
An Augusta School Teacher adopts
an Earthquake Drill.


Ever since two weeks ago, when the
earthquake shock caught the pupils Of the
Houghton Institute at Augusta, the prin-
Opal has heen practicing them In what
ne calls the alarm drill. The signal Is
given by six taps of the bell, as follows:
One tap, then pause; two taps, and a
pause; then three taps. The teacher OF
each department orders, Hats and

Form lines, ouickstep-maroh." Each
department has particular route, along
which they march TO their respective posi-
tions on the grounds, where they remain
until dismissed by the PRINCIPAL, or are
sgnalled TO return to the building By
three taps OF the bell. 10 less than one
minute the entire school Of 3l4 pupils
clear the building.
The Professor had good chance the
other day 10 test the efficacy of his plan,
hut it didn't work success July. When
the shock at noon was felt in the school,

Guished Modern Astronomers.
Saturn radlates light and heat enough
to supply the inhabitants of its satellites
with what they need in addition to these
energies received from the sun. Its eight
moons, one of which, Titan, is nearly as
large as Ganymede OF Jupiter, and q
second, Japetus. about the size of our
moon, are filled with intelligent beings
whose organisms are exactly adapted to
their surroundings.
The primary planet has a mean dis.
auce from the sun of about 872, 200, 900
miles and makes it's revolution in about
twenty-nlne and a half years. It's rOta-
tiou on its axis is accomplished in ION.
