The panoramic views and the other views
are said to be excellent specimens of
what a scenic artist can do. A
western critic says of the play
that Mr.. Brady, in the arrangement Of the
scenes, has used excellent Judgment. He
has grasped the salient and most dramatic
portion of the story, and, combining himself
to the authors exact language, has con-
structed play which, to those who have
as well as to those who have not, read
the original story, maintains the interest to
the end. The spectacular features of the
produc ion contribute largely to the great
success that it has proved

ton Edward F. Tyler Of the Central rail
road will assume the general managership
of the Western railway Of Alabama Nov.
l. He will leave Savannah as
soon as General Manager Gabbett
can appoint his successor here. Capt.
Tyler has been connected with the Central
less than a month. He came here from the
Queen and Crescent. having been division
superintendent of that system. He had not
more than got affairs running smoothly
when he received the appointment of
general manager OF the Western railroad
of Alabama. He has held but one confer
ence with the advisory board since his con-
nection with the Central, the conferences
being held only monthly. During his few
weeks here he has placed the main telegraph
office of the Central in his Office, and made
arrangements TO be in constant and direct
communication with the division 'superin-
tendents and all the officials under his
charge
Capt. Tyler is an experienced railroad
man. He was for several years general
superintendent of the Mobile and Mont
gomery railroad, besides holding other i'm
portant positions with large western roads
lie SAID last night that he Will take Chief
Clerk Dawson and Private Secretary Bruce,
whom MIR. Gabbett employed, back TO At,
lanta with him. The officers were moved
from Atlanta to Savannah a short
time ago with the expectation that Mr..
Gabbett would remain general manager of
the Atlanta roads Mr.. Gabbett has re-
signed all of the positions which he held in
Atlanta except that of president and gene
raj manager of the Atlanta and West Point
road, and this line, it is thought, will be
finally merged into the Central system.

THE BAY STREET ROAD.
The Central Railroad Pushing It's Part
of the Work.

The Central Railroad Pushing It's Part
of the Work.
The Central railroad force is making ex-
cellent progress ON the grading of the Bay
street extension. 1t is nearly half way
across the open field west of the city, and
the most difficult part Of the grading has
been done. There will be very little filling
now before reaching Exley's line. A track
has been laid in the field in which the force
Of men is at work, and the construction
trains bring the earth for filling and
grading to the line Of the street extension,
greatly facilitating the work. 1t is under
stood that this track will be extended to
the Central railroad lumber wharves, west
OF the freight wharves, where the steamers
receive and discharge their cargoes.
The county force is working rapidly east
ward, and there will be very little differ
ence in the time when the Central railroad
completes its portion of the work to the
eastern line of the Exley place and that of
the county in reaching the western line.
When the Exley lands are reached on
each side, then the oity's portion of the
work should begin. No written contract
exists between the city and Mr.. Exley, al
though it is understood that there was an
agreement, which Mr.. Exley declined to
ratify. 1t is not unlikely that there will he
litigation over the IN ttter, and it is not i'm
probable that restraining order will be
asked for by the owner of the land to .. g.
vent the city from making the extension.
1t has been suggested that the city take
steps to condemn the right of way as being
cheaper in the end, but there may be con-
cesslons and a compromise so that tine work
will not be delayed.

The Wife Played Eefore Brilliant
Audience.

"The Wife Played Eefore Brilliant
Audience.
II is seldom that a more charming play
than ''The Wife" is seen in Savannah. The
performance by the Lyceum Theater Com
pany last night was one Of the best that
Savannah theater-goers have seen this
season. The play is by Belasco and De
Mile, and is presented by a company the
strength Of which is in its evenness.
Mrs. Berlan-Gibbes and Mr..
Boyd Putnam, in the leading roles,
gave an exceptional Interpretation
Of two characters which might easily have
been spoiled, but which were acted with a
dignity and grace that fitted them per-
fectly. The part Of "Helen Truman is one
OF the prettiest that was ever written in a
society drama. In the hands of Mrs.
Berlan-Gibbes it was in the hands of an
arti t.
Mr.. Putnam's "John Rutherford" was a
splendid piece of acting. The part, easily
spoiled, was not overdone. but was acted
with dignity and naturalness.
Henry Herman's "Mathew Culver" and
). Miller Kent's Robert Grey are two
admirably conceived characters. Thomas
Burns "Maj Putnam" was cleverly
done. Miss Eta Hawkins as ''Kitty Ives"
and Stanley Ringold as "Jack Dexter"
made lively hit. Miss Hawkins is an ex-
ceedingly clever little actress, and the in-
genue part which she has gives her oppor-
tunities which she SEXES upon with the best
effect.
Henry Talbot as "Silas Truman" and
Miss Ethel Greybrooke as Mrs Bellamy
Ives" are naturalness itself. Miss Frances
Gaunt as "Lucille." aud Miss Logan as
Mrs. Armory," with Mr.. A. W. Gregory
as Randolph" make up a cast which is
Nr..w..
Der of the company is an artist. The
audience was large one, filing the entire
lower Dit of the theater. The play will be
repeated tonight.

AT Law OVER A LIVERY.
The Gleason-Thorpe. Case Postponed
Until Next Month

OnCu NoXL month.
The case against E. c. Gleason, who is
charged with aSsaulting A. @. Thorpe, a
sewing machine age It, was to have been
heard In Justice Sheftall's court yesterday,
but owing to the absence of an important
witness, it was postponed until Nov. G.,
when it will be heard by Justice McDermott
MIR. Gleason dema uded a hearing as soon
as the warrant was served upon
him, and he expected that the matter
would have been disposed of yesterday
He does not apprehehd lengthy trial, be-
cause he believes that his acts were justifl-
able. Mr.. Thorpe hired buggy from Mr..
Gleason's foreman TO go to Thunderbolt,
and 1t is claimed that he went q considerable
distance out toward Montgomery. This
was reported to the stables and the fore
man sent Thorpe word that he had falsfied
his word, and the next morning Thorpe
came down with some friends to see Mr..
Gleason about it. They were standing on
the street in front of the stable
office when Mr.. Gleason came up
from the Pulaski house. Mr.. Thorpe
asked what message Mr.. Gleason had sent
him. The foreman had not informed Mr..
Gleason what had passed between Mr..
Thorpe and the office, and Mr.. Gleason told
him that he did not send HIM any message,
and started to go into the office when
Thorpe told him sharply to come back in
the street.
Mr. Gleason had not more than got out
of the office door, he said, when Thorpe
dealt him a blow over the head with the
end Of whip. Mr.. Gleason jerked
Thorpe inside of the Office and seized a club +,
but friend ran in and stopped the ARRAY.
In the scufiie Thorpe was thrown against
the side of the house, and his head and face
were bruised and bled freely. Mr.. Gleason
has prosecuted Thorpe, and the case
has gone to The city court.

THE WELL GETTING DEEPER.
Water Coming up in Volumes Fror
LOO Feet Underground.

LOO Feet Underground.
There were quite a mum er OF visitors 70
the new artesian well yesterday afternoon,
and innumerable questions were asked Con-
tractor Joyce by lady and gentlemen Wis
itors.
There is no decrease in the wonderful flow
Of the water which rises nearly foot
allowing the casing and beaks, and flows
with a rush over the weir dam ike a
cataract.
What pity for so much pure water 10
go to waste" is a common remark by those
who visit the well.
Contractor Joyce said last night that the
well is now slightly over 100 feet deep.
Yesterday afternoon the drill was in com
paratively soft rock, but it has encountered
some flint rock, which is very hard, and
dulls the drill in a short time, so that the
tools have to be dressed oftener than when
working in the lime rock.
Contractor Joyce remarked, as he handed
piece of the flint about the size of a
hickory nut, to Alderman Harmon for ex-
animation: eff we would strike a 10-foot
stratum Of that flint it would take us
month TO drill through it, and it would
keep one man busy dressing the drills. For
tunately we have found very little flint,
and never a very thick stratum"

mo. We are liable to strike it at any
time, however. We may not have to go as
far as 800 feet. 1t is not possible TO say
where the lower Or deeper stratum Of water
bearing rock is located. The geological
formation can only be determined by drill
ing, and different formations may be met
with IN different wells Fhere might be

in would extend for hundreds of feet. l am
inclined to think that we will strike the
expected water bearing rock not far from
the depth which we have contracted to 20. -

The lightning rod contractors are at
work on the new hotel. VanBerschot &
Barnard, proprietors of the Etna Light
ming Rod Company, have the contract,
which is for thlrty-six rods and over half a
mile Of copper conductors.
The peculiar construction of the building
renders the putting up Of the rods difficult
work, and somewhat dangerous to the
workmen since the scaffolding has been re-
moved, and they have to cling with ropes
to the edges of the roof TO reach the more
inaccessible points. The two highest rods
will be those on the chimney, which is not
yet complete.

1t is a notable fact that we have never
entered into any competition but we came
out victorious because whatever we offered
was meritorious, and we study the art Of
properly presenting its excellences to a
discriminating public. Take, for instance,
the Savannah Floral and Art Associa ion
exhibition in May, 1887. We received then
and there the diploma over all competitors
for best toned pianos.
Now we take the highest award at the
Atlanta Piedmont Exposition. We feel
especially elated in this case, for at this
great exhibition there was the finest display
OF pianos ever presented in the south. The
moral Is so PLAIN aud self-evident that we
deduce from it the fact that is so demon
strably true, that we carry a superb line of
instruments. In this connection we mem
