MUSIC FROM STONES.
The Till Family's Remarkable Musical
Instruments.

The Till Famlly5 Remarkable Musical
Instruments.
The ladies of the Wesley Monumental
church have engaged the Till Family to
give a concert for the benefit of the chur ia
fund next Tuesday and Wednesday eve
nings, March 70 and 21, aud matinee on
Wednesday.
The concerts given by the Till family in
this country and Europe have awakened an
interest and curiosity quite unequaled in
the history OF public entertainments The
rock harlnonica used in these performances
forms novel feature and has attracted
much attention. The rock from which this
curious instrument is made is known in the
lake district of Cumberland, England, as
hOrnbleude slate, but mlcroscoplcal exam
nation shows that nornblende is a compar-
atively rare constituent of the rock and il
is therefore described by the Rev. j. Clifton
Ward, formerly of the geological survey of
England, As spotted sciOt. 1t is found near
Skddaw, where 1t surrounds two patches of
Skiddaw granite and appears to be
the result of metamOrphisin, act
ing between the Skddaw clay, slate and
the granite Messrs. TIL, after numerous
journeys in the mountains and many III
speCtionS of the different rocks, commenc-
ed in 1870 to construct the harmo j.
con, and at the end OF the first year, after
considerable labor, collected sufficient
stones TO make an instrument on which one
player was able, with two hammers, to
perform simple tunes They have added to
and improved 1t until the instrument has
attained Its present form of five octaves
The construction of the instrument is en-
tirely their own. The stones are sixty in
number, and vary from inches to 4 feet in
length, tho whole weighing LOO pounds,
and are arranged on straw so as to give the
greatest vibration possible.
At these conc arts a number of additional
instruments are brought into use, each CON
tribuuing TO the novelty and excellence Of
the performance 1t would be difficult TO
name them all, if indeed they had name.
The programme, both vocal and instru-
mental, is selected with care, an everything
secured in perfect accord with the high
moral tendency the entertainment is calcu-
lated TO inspire

The Laws of 1887 and the City Direc.

The Laws Of 1887 and the City Direc-
tory to Figure in the Sheftall Case.
Tomorrow the motion to quash the in
dictment in the Sheftall alleged malpractice
case is expected TO come up in the Superior
Court, and much interest is taken in one of
the grounds upon which the counsel for de-
PENDANT expects to have the indictment
quashed. That is the alleged residence of
Mr.. Thomas f. Stubs, one of the grand
jury which framed the Indictment in Guy
ton, bingham county.
The defense claims that the eligibility of
a grand juror, as to residence, is established
by the Code, to wit, those "who have re-
sided in the county for six months preced-
ing the time of serving Code of Georgia,
Title XII, Chapter J., Article l, Section 3g06
They will claim that Mr. Stubs was not
a resident of the county within the mean
ing of the statute at the time he was serving
on the grand jury. but was in fact resi-
dent of Efiingham county and was then,
and is now, an Alderman of the town of
Guyton.
On page 651 of the Georgia Laws of 1887,
IN the act incorporating the town of Guy
ton, No. 81, and which act was approved
Oct. 2, 1857" is the following:
SECTION 3. Be it further enacted that Charles
A. j. Sweat be and he is appointed Mayor, and
Edward Byrd, Benjamin r. Armstrong, Thomas
j. Stubs and Sidney S. Tison be and they are
hereby appointed Aldermen of said town of
Guyton, 20 hold their offices until the first an
nual election as hereafter provided.
The act goes on to state that "they shall
be freehoders in said town, not under %
years of age, and shall have been bona fide
residents Of said corporation for three
months preceding their election"
Sholes' new City Directory, page 34S, has
not escaped the sharp eyes Of those who
have gone cunning for all the facts. and
they point to the following as fixing be-
yond question Mr.. Stubs residence in
Guyton:
Stubs Thomas F. Garnet, Stubs & Co..
7. Guyton. Ga.
The State will hold that the time when
the objection should have been lodged
against Mr.. Stubs as a grand juror was
when the inquiry was being made into the
case, and that while Mr. Svubbs claimed
his residence here, the fact that he was not
challenged does not invalidate the indict-
ment

Letter From Franz Liszt.

MEssRs. CHGCKERING & Sons: 1t is very
agreeable to me to add my name TO the con-
cert OF praises of which your pianos are the
object.
To be just, | must declare them perfect
Perfectissime lsuperlatvely perfect.
There IS no quality which is foreign TO
them. Your Instruments possess in the SUI
pieme degree nobility aud power Of tone,
elasticity and security of touch, harmony
brilliancy, solidity, charms and prestige ;
and thus offer an harmonious ensemble Of
perfection TO tie exclusion of all defects.
Pianists Of the least pretensons will find
means of drawing from them agreeable
effects; and in face of such products-which
truly do honor TO the art of the construction
of instruments-the role of the critic is as
simple as that of the public; the one has but
70 applaud them conscientiously and with
entire satisfaction, and the other but to pro-
cure them in the same manner.
In congratulating you sincerely upon the
great and decisive success obtained at the
exposition at Paris, am pleased to antic-
pate the happy continuation of the same in
all places where your pianos will be heard
and beg that you accept, gentlemen, the
expression of my most distinguished senti-
meats Of esteem and consideration.

BACK FROM ATLANTA.
Gen. Aiexander's Argument Against
Reducing PASSENGER Rates.

Reducing Passenger Rates.
Gen. Alexander, President of the Central
raih Dad, returned yesterday from Atlanta,
where he appeared before the Railroad
Commission on Tuesday
In an interview with MORNING NEWS
reporter yesterday, Gen Alexander stated
that he opposed on behalf of his road, the
proposed reduction of &c. per mile in pas
senger rates. The density OF population is
not such along the lines of their system as
to probably permit the reduction to a
maximum tariff Of PIC. per mile. Even
on some roads III the country where there
Is greater density of population the aver
age profit in passenger traffic is but half
cent per mile, SO that it can be readily seen
that a Ieduction Of &c. would wipe out the
profit, and passengers could not be hauled
protitably at that figure.
The Commission md not hear the repre-
sentatives of all the roads operating in the
State, and, as announced in yesterday S
MORNING NEWS it postponed fur her action
until April 3.
Gen. Alexander was asked if it is his I'M
preston that the commission will be arbl-
trary III fixing a passenger tariff at zee.
TO correspond with the tariff made by the
Western and Atlantic.
In reply he said that he thought it would
in the past, he said, although it fixed tar
if on some articles which his roads could
carry at a profit. Mr. Brown, of the
Western and Atlantic, explained why the
reduction had been made on his road. The
Western and Atlantic road had to run four
trains daily to make its connections, whether
1t got few or many passengers, so that the
voluntary reduction ON a snort line was to
stimulate local traffic to aid in lesseuing the
expense incurred for running 50 many
trains to avoid missing connections.
Gen. Alexander was asked what he meant
by the discrimination III passenger fares
hereby the man with a grlpsack paid as
much as one with Saratoga trunk.
He explained it in this way. He said that
he was at a station on one of the roads of
the Central system where he saw twenty
new and heavily packed trunks, which had
been checked through over their line. The
Central had never got dollar for it, A
merchant had checked them through, hav-
ing them filled with goods purchased East,
and had not even returned home over the
Central, but by another line, yet if these
trunks had been lost or destroyed
the Central would probably have been
asked to pay thousands Of dollars for them.
His plan is to restrict all baggage to a hand
satchel or gripsack, and when traveller
buys ticket for himself he should also buy
a ticket for his trunk He admitted that it
would probably be long time before this
feature is adopted, if ever, but it is one that
ought to be looked into by the railroads
which are constantly being imposed upon by
unprincipled persons who, for So or there
abouts, are enabled to get trunks checked
through as in the instance he had cited.
Ali the railroads of the State oppose the
&c. reduction, and will, no doubt, be repre-
sented at the April meeting of the commits
sion (ron Alavap6oy. Sojd tho ay1tY txyii1

DR.. Bowman Explains.

SAVANNAH, March 14.-Editor Morning
Menus: l had fondly hoped that nothing
further should be published concerning
ecclesiastical affairs with which my name is

about my future destiny as any of the read

your announcement in this mornings issue
that l may probably go" is premature
The overwhelming pressure upon my time
and thought forbids anything like proper
contemplation of such matter at this par

relating to it will needlessly agitate the

Milton Mobiles Tonight.

Milton and Dollie Mobiles, in their new
play, "From Sire to Son." will be the at
traction tonight. The play was given in
Charleston before crowded houses, and the
World says that there was no one in the
audience who was not charmed with it, Its
comedy is the brightest and its tragedy the
most thrilling. Both called forth storms of
applause. Milton Mobiles appeared as
ALFRED Armitage," under the assumed
name of John Oakley and dar-
ling little Dolly as mabel" first the
wife of John Oakley and afterward
as his daughter. The first act pictured the
mining village of California, and The muir
der in the moonlight. The second showed
a room i'll the Yuba Hotel, the love of DR..
Mandrake and his son, and the attempted
lynching OF Oakley. In the third act Oak
ley has followed his wite's murderer. who
has, pretending to be her father, stolen bis
daughter. He finds them in q grand
hotel in Venice, attempts to recover
his daughter and is arrested as a lun-
attic The fourth act shows Hardy'5 desper-
ate cndeavors to win the girl, with whom
he has fallen desperately i'll love, and the
second appearance of John Oakley" and
the recovery of his daughter. Mr.. Mobiles
has made a great success of his ne " play,
but his old ones will not soon be forgotten
by the lovers of melodrama."
