Joshua's maneuver. Do you say that it
was cheating for him TO take that city by
ambuscade? Was it wrong for Washing

opposing force that great army was en-

The best Of our opportunities do not lie
on tho surface, but are secreted; by tact,

Told in Brief ragraphs-Pickings at
Police Headquarters.
The ST. Joseph's Infirmary received three
patients yesterday.
The absence at Darien of the witness who
swore out warrant before Commissioner
Lamar against mountain moonshiner, has
preuented a hearing thus far.
Two colored Migrants were locked up at
! the barracks last night, while one common
drunk and one for fighting in the streets
made the sum total up TO l O'Clock this
morning.
Capt. Powers, of the Atlanta mail train,
reports rains all along the Central He
said last night that it rained up to within
few miles of Savannah. He also reported
heavy wind at Herndon. No serious
damage was done, however.
The bids for the proposed building of the
Union Society at the corner of Whitaker,
State and President streets will close at
noon to day. 1t is understood that If the
bids come within the amount set apart by
the society for the building, the work will
begin at once.
The suit of Chanty Verdery admx. ct al
VS.. the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way to recover the value of real estate oc-
cupied by the Savannah, Florida and West

Court all of yesterday and the day previous.
The argument closed last night, and the
jury was charged and took the case.
For day or twa pretty dolls sofa has
been an object of admiration of the girls of

It was disposed of yesterday by rattle for

class sold all the chances, the amount col

threw the highest number and got the sofa.
It's an old saying that when March comes
in like a lamb it will go out like lion.
March came in like lamb this year, but it
didn't take long to get into its lions skin.
Yesterday was about as dlsagreeable day
as has been experienced here this year. 1t
was regular March day, blustery enough
to make the jolliest old sea dog ugly and
surley. People who did not have to be on
the street staid indoors as much as possible,
and those who did go out did not stay longer
than they were compelled to.
There is but very small postscript to
add to the sketch given in the MORNING
NEWS of yesterday of George j. Vyle. He
did not put in an appearance at his office
yesterday, and the company which he rep
resented was notified that past experience
with their agents precIuded the possibility
OF continuing the rental of desk room in
the future. Vyle was heard of once yester-
day. 1t seems that a contiding gentleman,
who is said to be a Broughton street physi-
clan, ran him down and berated him for
his deception. The grievance was that he
had advanced Vyle the money to pay his
fine in the Mayors Court. If Vyle is in
town he is not shaking himself unduly con-
spicuous A Broughton street clerk is be-
wailing the fact that $25 of his money has
passed into the hands of the repudiated

THE NEW YoRKs COMING.
Mutrie's Giants will be Here This
Week and Next.

Besides having amateur base ball all the
week at least of professional base ball.
Manager Mutrie, of the New Yorks, tele-
graphed from Jacksonville yesterday to
secure grounds here for few days and
possibly weeks practice. He will also
play couple of games with the local club.
The Whitaker street grounds have been en-
gagged, and will be put in shape to-day and
tomorrow.
The New Yorks will arrive the latter
part of the week and will go into practice
at once. Savannah will have a chance TO
see the giants, and in the absence of a South
eIn League club they will doubtless draw
well
There is a possibility that Savannah
will get some of the Southern League
games, though it is not in the
goes to the wall The schedule committee
is now in session in Birmingham, and is try
ing to get the best of the long jumps. 1t
has been decided to open the season on
April and to play part of the league
games i'll non-league cities. The work of
making a schedule will be finished today.
The league will be played in Nashville, At
lanta, Augusta, Savannah and Mobile, but
the dates have not yet been fixed.
Atlanta is now dickering to get into the
Southern League and a proposition has
been made to the league to this effect: That
Atlanta and Chattanooga be admitted to
membership on the basis heretofore ar
ranged; that a committee consisting of
representatives of the clubs now in the
league and also of Atlanta and Chatta-
noga be appointed, the duty Of which
shall be to make an equitable APP
portionment of players among the six cities.
This plan contemplates that each of
the new clubs be given a choice of two
players from each of the old ones, and that
no club shall hire more than eight old play
ers, the others to be men who have never
before played professionally. The object
of this plan is to reduce salary lists. 1t is a
notorious fact that every Southern League
city, with the possible exception of New
Orleans, has larger salary list than it can
afford. This fact is recognized by all the
officials of these clubs, and it is thought
that this plan will meet with favor.
With Atlanta in, the Southern League
will stand better show of going through
the season than it now does.

LAUREL GROVE CEMETERY.
A Street Car Needed From Whitaker
and Anderson Streets.

Editor Morning Netcs: Win the City
and Suburban Railway Company excuse
the writer for suggesting that car from
the junction at Anderson and Whitaker
streets to Laurel Grove Cemetery would be
a great convenience and pleasure to very
many people! What the public desires most
and appreciates most is the means Of getting,
III the shortest time and with the least posi-
bic trouble, where business or pleasure calls
it. Fine cars, 'belt roads," and spirited
horses, ETC., are well enough in their way,
but these go for nothing when half hour
must be consumed in making trip which
should be covered by ten minutes, and when
two changes, two fares and crowded car
are to be encountered in the bargain.
Those of us who live in the southern
portion of the city have about made up our
minds to tO0Jk to this cemetery as the quick
est and most convenient way of getting
there. To take the street car necessitates
one going to Liberty street and there wait
ing until a car comes along for there is no
connection; boarding the Liberty ST. eet
car at the corner of Abercorn or Whitaker,
as the case may be, paying another fare and
making another change to the West Broad
street line at Barnard street, thus consuming
so much time, and meeting with SO much
bother, as to moke the trip horror rather
than pleasure.
Now, this certainly can be corrected in
some way. If a car should only be run from
the junction at Anderson and Whitaker
streets during the afternoon three days in
the week, the public would soon understand
and appreciate it. The track is already
down and nothing is required but to put a
car upon it, Extra fare, if the company
requires 1t, would be gladly paid. Indeed,
extra fare is being paid as it is when the
cars are used in getting to this cemetery,
and there is no reason why it should not be
paid for quicker and pleasanter route.
We would like to ask the chief officials of
this railway company if they ever took
trip over the West Broad street line on an
afternoon of Sunday, and if they have,
whether they are not forced to regard this
suggestion as reasonablel L. NJ

HIS MEMORY WAS BAD.

Valley Brown Goes to Jail Because
He Can't Remember Stealing a Boat.
Valley Brown was bound over to the
higher court by Justice Molina Yesterday
afternoon in the sum of $500, in default of
which he was committed to jail. The
charge is larceny. The warrant was sworn
out by Joseph Bertorello, Greek, who is a
boat builder at Byrne'S shipyard.
1t is alleged that Brown, who is a calker.
applied last Monday for work, and Ber-
torello was then unable TO give him employ
ment, but promised if he would come around
Wednesday that he would put him TO work.
Brown became very abusive and started off,
threatening to get pistol and shoot the
Greek. Instead he took Sl3 bateau, and
up to last night Bertorello was unable to
find it.
Some parties reported to the Greek that
they had seen Brown with the boat and
Brown admits that he may have taken it,
but he has no recollection of it, and saws if
he did he does not know what he did with it.

Charles Dickens Tonight.

Charles Dickens, the son of the illustrious
author, will appear at Odd Fellows Hall to-
night in a series of readings from his faith
er's novels The Atlanta Constitution says
of his readings in that city on Saturday last
Quite a large audience, in which were
many of Atlanta's most prominent people,
greeted Mr.. Charles Dickens in the lecture
room of Trinity church last night. Mr..
Dickens first read several chapters from
David Copperfield in a way that showed
not only thorough appreciation of the
beauties of the story, but also the possession
of great ability as IA reader. To say that
every body was charmed is expressing it
mildly indeed. Never before had the
beauties of the text been so thoroughly APP
preciated. Bob Sawyer's party to Mr.. Pick
wick was rendered in an inimitable manner.
The various striking and startling incidents
which occurred at that memorable gather
ing were depicted in way that kept his
hearers laughing throughout. The enter
tainment was one of the most enjoyable
ever given in Atlanta. Ten o'clock came
wonderfully soon and the end of the enter
tainment brought regret to Mr.. Dickens

DYING At WAYcpOSS


WAYCRoss, March 20.-The condition of
the wounded here at midnight as officially
given, is as follows: An unfavorable change
has taken place. and Mr.. A J. FairclOth,
OF Waresboro. Ga, is in dying condition.
Friends and physicians have done all that
could be done for him, but it proves Of no
avail. The recovery of Mrs. I. P. Thomp-
son, of New. Orleans, is very doubt
ful. She has conclusion Of the
brain, from which she will
most probably not rally. Notwithstanding
that Gen. E. Ferrero has some fever and is
quite sick to-day, he is able 10 get in and
out of bed, and his physicians think his re-
covery very probable.
j. w. Thompson (coloredD, editor Peoples
journal, Jacksonville, is considered doing
fairly well, though the inflammation IS not
yet reduced, while Charlie Pear (colored,
in addition to his wounds, has pneumonia.
His condition to night is thought favorable.
GRIFFIN IMPROVING.
Conductor William L. Griffin is improv-
ing. His wife and sister are with him, as is
also DR.. Griffin, of Gainesville, Fla who
was his family physician when he lived at
that place. Mr.. Griffin being man of great
will power and fine physical development
will survive what weaker man would sink
under.
Walter Goodyear is so far improved that
his father, who is with him, intends carry
ing him to Jacksonville tomorrow.
THE WILBUR PARTY.
Mr. Wilbur and family continue to i'm
prove, and tonight ate supper on their pri-
vate car, which has been placed at their
disposal Miss Cox, of their party, is rest
ing well and very cheerful. So soon as her
condition will admit, Mr. Wilbur
and party will leave for Savannah,
most probably tomorrow. The quiet
demeanor, presence of mind and genial
nature of the members of this party under
their suffering and bereavement is truly
wonderful, and has won for them the conf
dence and respect Of all VINO have come in
contact with them.
The condition of all the other patients
here is favorable and justifies the belief in
their ultimate recovery. DR.. Frank Folks,
the surgeon of the road. is in charge of
them, having She assistance of Drs. Cars
well, Reddng and Walker, which, to those
who know them is a guarantee that their
patients will lack for no care or attention
A daily report of each ones condition will
be made by those physicians, and placed in
the office Of Ii. w. Reed for the nforma-
ton of any Interested parties, and any one
desiring information can here obtain it
reliably and officially.
The day has been very sultry, with
threatening looking clouds, but so far no
rain has fallen.
REPELLING A ISLANDER
The editorial comments in to-day's Times
Union on suppression of the news has caused
quite feeling of indignation among rail
road officials here The statement is not
true so far us it applies to the conduct of
these officials at the wreck at Blackshear or
Waycross, for the very opposite is what was
done and said by them.
The travel through Waycross since the
rebuilding of the wrecked treste, both
north and south-bound, has been immense.
