Foster, sUpposiug that he wished 10 redeem

him. Ben calmly adjusted his shirt stud,
put the watch in his vest pocket and put on
the ring, all while talking pleasantly
with those around the table. Suddenly he
jumped up and covered Foster with his re-
Volver, backed out of the room, remarking
as ne went:
You robbed me last night, and now I'll
rob you. Ii you want this jewelry again

Everybody was too much taken by sur
prise to offer any resistance, and Ben passed
out of the room and returned to Austin by

The proprietors of the gambling room
vowed vengeace against Thompson, aud he
was warned never to come near the place
again.
Ia defiance to their repeated threats he
made several visits To San Antonio, and on
one of these trips, in the summer of 1888,
he went to the variety show which was To-
Gated in the same building with the gamb-
hng-room, and owned by the same parties.
A shooting ARRAY resulted and a bullet
slightly wounded him in the leg. From that
moment he became respondent, for he had
always been so careful with his weapons
that ne thought it impossible TO meet with
any accident. He told his friends that he
felt sure his good luck had deserted him,
and that he would be killed very soon. His
forebodngs proved correct, for before the
wound in ms leg had healed the curtain had
fallen upon the last bloody scene of his
eventfu life

Editor Morning NewS::
" It's the voice OF Lord Barnacle,
Hear him complain,

lis Lne voice OF lDrQ Barnacle,
Hear aim complain,
gu have walked me TOO soon,
must sumber agail."
1t is a melancholy fact that any one
who suggests change, no matter of what
name or nature, becomes to a large element
of the people of Savannah, public enemy.
To plain man of these latter days, it
would SEEN a matter of snail Importance
TO change the hands OF our city clocks by a
few moments, but to to My Lord Barnacle
q Co., 0. Fogy. Esq, who belong to the
DAYS Of Noah Tor thereabout), it would seem
to be calamity as real as if some modern
Joshua should stop the sun in its course
l can't live more, or have being without
my 'sun time" say the fogys,
ct AL but less your rusty
souls, dear brethren, do you ever get your
sun time? does not your Luminary vary in
his time over half hour in the course of a
year! and if really you will keep time with
the sun, you must change your watch daily.
In the old times to which you belong,
Messrs B. and f., days journey was not
over forty or fifty miles, and the few min
uteS change in time made no difference, but
to-day, when one can go six or eight hun
dred miles in twenty-four hours, it may
mean change OF nearly an hour in time,
and is very serious detrment to business
or social intercourse. To obviate this some
OF the live men of this day and generation
arranged one standard of time so that
there need be no difficulty in changing loca-
ton, and this change has been adopted by
all modern cities, and in fact by nearly
every town and village of the country, Sa-
vannah alone excepted
As matter of fact, would il not be bet
ter If instead of hour standards there should
be one central time for this entire countrys
What would it matter if, at the rising of
the sun, your watch should mark the sixth
or the twelfth hour? The time between
sunrise and sunset would not be changed by
one second, aud i'll few days or weeks al
MANAGES and daily habits would be made TO
correspond with the change. Not very
long since there was change made in the
time of the Christian world of ten days,
and though Barnacle Fogy ct id,
held out for over century
the change became universal and the world
moved on, and the sun rose and set as be-
fore SO will it be now if Savannah shall
adopt the time used by the outside world.
We talk of building hotels and inviting
travel, but SO long as we make our city an
obstacle to intercourse with other places
how can we look for good results9 Let it
be set down as fact, that unless, and I'M
TIL we can bring ourselves up to the times
in every way. we shall surely remain
among the things that were, and in the dim
and 'cobweby" region of
."FoGY" LAND.

easterly direction. The lowest barometer

southerly winds here to-day or tonight.
