NO TIME BALL AFTER OCT. /.
After Two Years Janitor Bryan Will
Strike for Pay.

1T is a shame" said gentleman yester-
day, that In a large seaport city like Sa-
vannah, the government is too parsimoni-
Gus, or our representatives too Indifferent,
to see that suitable appropriation should
be made for attending the time ball When
the ball was out of repair last spring the
expense Of putting it in repair was borne
by an individual donation"
w. J. Bryan, janitor Of the custom house,
has been attending to the time ball for
nearly two years. He says that he has
never received any compensation'for it, and
as his two years of unpaid labor In that
direction will end Oct, l, beyond that
time he does not intend to con
tinue the work if there is no
better prospect for being remunerated
for his services. He received a letter this
week from Prof. Brown of the observatory
at Washington informing him that no APP
preparations had been made. The atteu-
tion OF Congressman Norwood was also
directed to the fact, but nothing was ever
heard from the communication addressed
to him.
The time ball is great accommodation
to mariners who bring their chronometers
to the dome of the bu lding to be regulated
by the dropping of the ball. A circuit
from the Western Union office connects the
ratchet machinery below the ball, and at
II SO city time, corresponding t. IL o'clock
noon, Washington time, the ball drops
Sometimes the time doss not reach here,
owing to arrangement of the wires
between Savannah and Washington,
and the ball does net drop.
In such cases the time ball tender waits five
minutes, and then lowers the ball slowly
This indicates that it will not drop on that
day.
1t is very generally regretted that with
the approaching activity in shipping circles,
when mariners will look to the time ball for
regulating their chronometers for their out
ward voyages that the time ball is to be
neglected because there is no money to pay
for the service.

The Tomb of a Modern Cresus.
PhNadelphta Record's Ne.p York Letter.

RhGGdeIphtu hecoru NeU 7 0TE Letter.
Senator Stanford of California is having
constructed for himself what will be the
most costly modern tomb In existence. 1t
is to be erected in California, but is being
prepared at the east The entire cost of this
place Of rest for couple of handfuls of
dust ard ashes will DO $25O,000. The ma
teral is of Vermont granite and marble,
aud the heavier parts Of the tomb are being
cut at the quarries and shipped from there
directly to the west. The heaviest stone
used in the structure is cut from a solid
block Of granite weighing forty-three tons,
and has already been shipped on car spe-
cially constructed for the purpose. Two
other stones, weighing over twenty tons
each, and cut and polished, have followed
it. A New York man has the contract for
tho work, but the senator has forbidden
him to furnish details in advance OF the
erection Of the edifice, but be has given me
the price and these particulars, adding that
every conceivable ornamentation in the way
of sepulchral art Is to be lavished upon it.
The millionaire of tho gold coast may not
sleep more soundly with these surroundings
than if he were buried in the rustic church
yard of his native village, but, under forty
tons of granite and with all modern burglar
proof surroundings, he ought to sleep
serenely, in spite of body-snatchers or spirit
mediums.
