THE OCEAN STEAMSHIP LINE.
General Manager Correl Chats About
the Company's Affairs.

Gen q. NJ Sorre, General Manager of
the Ocean Steamship Company, has re-
turned from d recent visit to the North in
the interest of the company. In an inter
view with a MORNING NEWS reporter he
expressed himself as highly pleased with the
dock facilities of the company at New
York and Boston. He says that the New
York docks are now in good condition and
are the best in the country, and admirably
arranged for the prompt and comfortable
handling OF passengers. The docks are on
the North river and are 800 feet in length.
The Boston pier, he says, is $50 feet in
! length and has recently been completed.
The decks are heated by steam and ligh
by electricity, with steam power for load
ing and unloading vessels The company
is completely equipped for handling the
growing business, its terminal facilities
being unsurpassed. Its business is increas-
ing with steady growth. Gen. Sorrel
! thinks, however, after comparing the offices
at New York and Boston with that Of Sa-
Vannah, that the latter will soon have to be
enlarged to facilitate the requirements of
their Southern terminus. Increased dock
facilities at Philadelphia will also be re-
qulred at an early date if the incr ase of
patronage continues to grow as it steadily
has in the recent past.
The change of schedule in sailing from
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to Sun
day, Tuesday and Friday, Gen. Sorrel says,
was done to meet the demands Of the deal
ers East, and the wants of the truck farm
els of Savannah and Florida. 1t insures
certain delivery for the New York Satur-
day market, and does away with the com
plants Of the New York dealers who com
planned of the Wednesday vessels getting
there to late for the Saturday markets.
While he was North Gen Sorrel visited
Chester, where the City Of Birmingham is
building. He says that the work is pro-
crossing faNorably, and that the new ship
will be one of the best carriers of the Ocean
service She is now two-thirds plated, and
will be ready for launching by June /. She
will cost about $3.50, 600 She is to be 800
feet long, and 42l5 feet beam.
She is a three-decker, and will be provided
with the most complete mechanism for the
handling of cargoes. Her engines and
boilers are to be well forward, and her cast
ings will be of the best. She is to be of
5000 tons gross capacity, and designed for
300 tons dead weight. Her bulk capacity
will be from {, 800 to 1000 bales of cotton
The vessel will re ready to put to sea about
the first week in August

GEORGIA UNIONISTS.
The Demand that is Now Made OF Con-
QreSS,

atlanta (Gd) Special to augusta Chronicle.
1t is not generally known, but neverthe-
less true, that Georgia furnished one regi-
ment of infantry TO the Federal service dur
ing the civil war. II was not full regi-
ment and somehow the officers and men
were never paid for their services, although
they did hard fighting and a number of
them were killed and wounded. They are
before this Congress with a petition. This
Georgia command was made up among the
hardy Uni3nists Of Whitfield, Murray
rannin, Dawson and Pickens, the
last two counties furnishing the
majority of the recruits. When Jonnston's
army abandoned its position about Dalton
and debouched across the Oostanaula, one
James Fl. Brown, of Whitfield, was author
lied by Gen. Thomas, commanding the army
Of the Cumberland, to raise and equip a
regiment for guard duty along the line of
the Western and Atlantic railroad. Col.
Brown half accomplished his mission, or
gained several companies and proved a
valuable ally to the Federals during
the stirring campaign that followed
When Sherman had approached very
near the gates of Atlanta Col.
Brown and his command came to sudden
grief. One evening, while he was in camp
near the town of Cartersvile Gen. w. +.
Wotford, who commanded detachment of
Confederate troops, raided his bivouac and
killed, captured or scattered his men. No
one ever heard of them from that time I'M
til they approached this Congress with the
demand tnat their muster rolls be re-estab-
lshed and they be paid for their services.
They are represented by w. II. Walker, an
attorney at Bolton, and Mr.. Gambler has
introduced bill for their relief.

A TONSORIAL ARTIST.
Wherein He Differs from a. Plain Ordi-
nary Barber.

From, the Chicago Netos.
There is a tonsorial artist in this city by
the alliterative name of Willie Wilton.
The word tonsorial artist is not chosen
from any love of verbal display. 1t is used
advisedly and discriminatory.
barber is man who gets 15c for
| shave or 25c. for shampoo A tonsorial artist
is man who arranges to keep gentleman's
head in repair for SO much month.
That is what Willie Wilton does. He has
| the patronage of thirty very rich and fash
ionable gentlemen of this city. among whom
are two most prominent merchants, several
well known board of trade men, three dis
tinguished pork packers, one of whom has
the handsOmest beard in the city, and
popular clergyman and number of legal
gentlemen whose profundity is only equaled
by their fastidiousness. Every morning at
an early hour Willie begins his duties. In
the course of the day he visits, at convenient
and prearranged hours, the houses of his
thirty fashionable patrons.
But Wilie's duties do not consist alone in
keeping the head of the house neatly
trimmed and scraped. He also dresses the
hair of madame when she goes out in the
evening He goes further and improves
the curve of madame's brows and the color
of madame's cheeks He shampoos the heads
of the young aristocrats and keeps their locks
manner.
He can give a psyche knot a twist that is
simply anacreonlc. He can make Paris
ienne out of Chicago girl whose ancestors
were line of dry-goods clerks.
He can shave a lawyer in a way best
calculated to make him look judicial, and
he has trick of forcing an imperial to
suggest bonds and coupons which is
very gratifying to his patrons.
Rut his iShOantS do not StOn hnrp
He has one talent which outweighs all of
these. He can paint black eye till it looks
as white as the driven snow and as harm
less as a cooling dove. He will do this in
five minutes and for S., and, though he
only shaves millionaires, he is willing to
paint any ones black eye. Moreover he
never strikes.
1t will be seen that Willie Wilton is not
merely tonsorial artistic is a philan-
thropist-and he has thirty regular GUS
toners, each of whom pays him $40 month
for his artistic services.

THE SUNKEN ALICE CLARK.
Blowing Up the Wreck with Dynamite
Finding a Phosphate Bed.

Finding Phosphate Bed.
The wreck of the steamer Alice Clark.
which was sunk in the Stone river at
Church Flats, South Carolina, some time
ago while on her way from Charleston here,
is being removed.
The first work done on the wreck was the
cutting into three portions the hull of the
sunken steamer, which was done by means
of dynamite discharged by an electric bat
terry. This feature of the performance was
accompanied with much trouble and CON
siderable danger. A very large pile driver
and holster is at the wreck and the hull,
after having been blown in twain by dvna-
mite, is being lifted out of the mud and
water. 1t will take at least three weeks to
accomplish the work, and great deal of
labor and money will have to be expended
in removing the obstruction entirely from
the river.
The removal of the wreck is big under
taking, and withal exceedingly interesting
1t is tedious, and those in charge say it will
take a great deal of patience as well as
money and labor.
The Alice Clark was owned by a COM
pany in Brunswick, and after removing
what there was left of her cargo. and all
available timbers and other paraphernalia
the owners of the boat abandoned the
wreck to the government. As soon as tins
was done the authorities at Washington
advertised for bids TO remove the wreck
and thereby clear the channel of a danger
GUS obstruction to navigation. Several
bids were sent in and the contract for re-
moving the wreck was awarded TO Capt.
Kirby 5. Topper his bid being the lowest
and amounting to $2,545. Capt S w.
