A New Story.

The MORNING NEWS will begin the publ
cation of a deeply interesting story next
Sunday entitled, 1.-THE Painter of
Parma, or the Magic of Masterpiece"
1t is an Italian Story of Love, Mys-
terry and Adventure, and is one of the
very best of the many stories Of that
very popular author, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
1t is probably the last long story that Mr..
Cobb ever wrote, and those who read it
will doubtless agree that in style, plot,
dialogue, portraiture of characters it is
fully equal to the efforts of the best writer's
of fiction of the present day. 1t is story
that viii bring many pleasant hour to the
households into which the MORNING NEWS
finds its way. The story will appear in the
WEEKLY NEWS.

The Savannah and Westerns Difficulty

The Savannah and Westerns Difficulty
1t is understood that the projected Sa-
vannah and Western railroad is in control
of company composed of some of Savan-
nah's most prominent and wealthy citizens,
who are deeply interested in promoting her
prosperity. The company, it is suited, are
ready to build the road at once, provided
satisfactory terminal facilities here can be
obtained The road, of course, will be a
competitor for some of the business which
existing roads, which have their
headquarters here, now enjoy, and, there
fore, it cannot reasonably expect any favors
or concessions from them. It must have its
own wharyes, and its own means for reach
ing them. 1t is also stated that it cannot
obtain location on the river front at
price that is anywhere near fair, and for
that reason nothing is being done towards
inaugurating the projected enterprise.
1t IS somewhat remarkable that a COM
pany, having the means which the Savan-
nah and Western Company has, should per
NIT itself to be INSTRUCTED by an obstacle of
this sort. 1t Is an obstacle, which there is
every reason to think, could be overcome
by little well-directed energy The water
frontage of Savannah is immense, and
there ought to be no difficulty in reaching
1t, nor in obtaining a portion of it for a
railroad, or any other enterprise. 1t virtu
ally extends from Calaboga Sound to the
Hermitage on the Savannah river, and to
the southwark it takes in all the deep water
estuaries to the Ogeechee river. With
such water front as this there should be no
insurmountabe difficulty in sec urIng suit
able terminal facilities
Railways terminating in other seaports
manage to get locations on the water front
for wharves and shipping accommodations.
In New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore or
other places, if new roads cannot get loca-
tons for wharves in the most desirable
places within the citv's limits they get them
as near the most desirable places as posi-
bic. Cannot the Savannah and Western fol-
low the same course, and, that too without
sacrificing any Indispensable advantagesl
The Savannah and Western would be of
very great benefit to this city. 1t would
contribute a great deal to its prosperity
The location of its route .justifes the con-
clusion that it would very soon become
part of another great railway system to the
West.
Several of those who are members of the
Savannah and Western Company have had
considerable experience with railroads, and
if the getting of terminal facilities is what
is delaying the building of the road they
ought to be able to overcome that difficulty
without much delay

Burying Live People.
From the Referee.

Burials alive are far more common in hot
countries, where the burial takes place within
twentyfou hours after death, than they are
here, where one gets, as a rule, a weeks grace
In Spain the body is frequently removed 10 the
undertaken shop few hours after death. In
one of the largest Of those establishments in
Madrid some years ago, an extraordinary sight
was witnessed. A gentleman was brought in
his "casket'' one afternoon and placed In the
room set apart for that branch of the business
The proprietor lived over his premises and on
this especial evening was giving a grand bali
When the ball was at its height, gentleman in
He danced with the wife of the
undertaken. and he danced with the
undertaken daughter, and seemed to be
thoroughly enjoying himself. The undertaken
thought he knew his face, but didn't like to be
rude and ask him his name; but by-and-by all
the guests departed, and the strange gentleman
was the only one left. Shall | send for a cab
for your said the host ut last. No, thank
you, y replied the gentleman; I'm staying In
the house" Staying in the house," exclaimed
the undertaken; who are you, sir?" What
don't you know me I'm the corpse that was
brought in this afternoon"
The undertaken, Mortified rushed to the NOR
tuary room and found the coffin empty His
wife and daughter had been dancing wits a

The gentleman which had only been in trance
had suddenly recovered, and, hearing music and
humor, had got out of his coffin Cthe Spanish
coffin closes with lid, which is only locked lust
previous to intermentl and joined the festive
party. He was quite presentable, as in Spain
the dead are generally buried in full evening
dress

How Connecticut Merchant Lost S88
by His Sharpness.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
George P. North, of New Haven, Conn, who
has been at the Southern, remarked this morn.
ing to a reporter: "One of the shrewdest tricks
of which have ever heard was recently prac-
ticed on dry goods firm OF our city. Late one
afternoon man wearing good clothes. but ap-
parently very drunk, staggered up the street
and fell against large plate-glass window
breaking it to pieces. The proprietor rushed out
and demanded payment. The drunkard, in
weak voice, replied that he had no money, but
a search of his pockets revealed a wallet con-
tanning 800 bill. This the proprietor seized
in spite of the strong protest of the inebriate
gentleman that it was counterfeit and carried
only as a curiosity. Twelve dollars was deducted
as the price of the broken window, and the gen
tleman who had succumbed to the influence of
John Barleycorn, reeled of with SIS in his
pocket.
ION attempting to bank the bill next morn
ing, the teller threw it out as counterfeit, thus
establishing the drunkard's reputation for
veracity. The dry goods merchant could do
nothing, as he had been told that the bill was
worthless and certainly had no right to pay
himself for any damage inflicted on his store
from the pocket Of a drunken man. He there
fore was obliged to submit to the loss of $50
and plate glass window, while the drunkard
whose inebriation was probably not entirely
complete, had exchanged counterfeit S100-bill
for S8S good money. and the satisfaction of
having gotten the best of one of the sharpest
merchants in the Nutmeg State
