EXPRESS EMPLOYEES GIFT.
MISREPRESENTATION Jack is Given a
Little Surprise.

Ex-Superintendent Jack is Given a
Little Surprise.
The employees of the Florida division of
the Southern Express Company presented
ex-Supt. ID. F. Jack, now general manager
of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
railway system, a magnificent solid silver
tea service yesterday afternoon.
The presentation took place at the COM
pany's Office in this city. Supts. Osborne
and Mays, who are Mr.. Jacks successors.
Agent Cooper, the clerical force in the Sa,
vannah office, and nearly all the route
agents of the division were present. Mr..
Jack, who was invited to Savannah TO
spend the day with Supt. Osborne, had no in
timation of what was to take place until late
in the afternoon, when sitting in the super
intendent's office he was told that Agent
Cooper desired to see him. Mr.. Jack
stepped into Mr.. Cooper's office and was
confronted by the entire force of employees.
Supt. Mays, by way of explanation,
stated that Supt Osborne had been dele
gated to present to him, in behalf of the
employees OF the division, a testimonial Of
the esteem and regard in which he was held
by them. The beautiful service was arrayed
upon a table in the cenSer of the room.
Supt. Osborne, in making the presentation,
said:
Mr. D. p. Jack:
The pleasure, and might say, with all propri-
ETY., the compliment has been accorded me by
the gentlemen present of presenting to you. our
ex-superintendent, as a mark of their high re-
gard for one who was ever kind and courteous
and who in pursuance of his duty, not always
pleasant, strove to be just to all, this set Of
Sterling silverware. We feel, while it may not
be necessary, that it will remind you and yours
of service faithfully performed during twenty
four years, and it will, we hope. very often
bring up pleasant recollections of the past. |
beg. sir, your acceptance Of this token of our
friendship, and with it our best wishes for your
success in the future.
The ex-Superintendent was so taken
by surprise that is was almost impossible
for him to reply at once, but in a few words
he expressed his appreciation Of the kindly
remembrance of those with whom he had
been so long and pleasantly associated, and
he assured them that while he valued the
gift itself, he valued still more highly the
friendship which prompted its giving.
The service is of solid silver and consists
of five pieces and a server. The orna-
mentation is delicate tracery Of ferns.
The inscription to be engraved on the SER
vice is;

MacIntyre, Jr., of Thomas, J. L. Hand Of
Mitchell, II. W. Hill of Meriwether and

ing the Terminal company. Judge Peabody

interests, also spoke against it. Hon Pat
Calhoun of Atlanta represented the Cen
trail railroad before the committee.
Those who argued in favor of the bill
were Col George 7. Fry, the protector of
the Atlanta, Atlantic and Great Western
railway, but since he was before the com
mittee he has come out in a lengthy letter
in opposition to it, principally, ne says, be-
cause, after five months experience with
capitalists, he is satisfied to let 1t
be defeated; Hon. John T. Olive
of Oglethorpe. the author of the
bill, who has addressed the committee at

mended for passage; and Maj. Williamson,

and Montgomery and Isle Of Hope were
crowded. Two thousand people spent the
day at the beach. The weather there
was delightful Although heavy rain fell
in the city it did not reach the island, aud
with a cool breeze there was nothing to be
desired.
The races were the principal attraction.
There were two races. The first race, free
for all, was won by r. w. Powers Pat
Fallon" in three straight heats. In the
three-minute class c. Z. Suits horse won.
An effort was made to rule out the winner
on the ground Of a lower record, but the
record was not proved. The money was
divided however. About 1000 people wit
messed the race.
The Chatham Artillery spent the day at
the company's club house at the south end
of the island. The company's annual rifle
practice took place at the range on the
beach. The shooting was at 200 yards under
Creedmoor rules The wind was too strong
for good shooting, yet some good scores
were made. The company was
divided into two classes Sergt. Buckner
won in the first class on score Of 81 He
was tied by Lieut.. J. R. Saussy, but under
the rules Sergt. Buckner won the match.
Private Ward won in the second class on
a score of 10.
The brass medal was won by Corp. Elton,
who failed to hit the target at all.
The company usually has its artillery
practice July 4, but it was deferred this
year until the company receives its new
guns.
The Zoroyda Archery Club spent the day
at its club house, between the Ocean house
and the new hotel.
The tide did not suit for bathing during
the afternoon, but at night the surf was
filled with bathers The night trains from
the island were crowded, and the last train,
which left the beach at 10 o'clock, was
packed.
The Timers and Plumbers Assembly of
the Knights of Labor held its annual picnic
at Montgomery, and a pleasant day was
spent there. A good many went out to Isle
of Hope and to Thunderbolt and Warsaw.
In the city everything was very quiet. In
fact it was quiet day all around. The
police had very little to do, and only three
arrests were reported up to midnight.

assumed the duties of his mission.
10 MORNING NEWS reporter, Gen. Law
ton expressed himself as highly pleased to
be once more at home, and he remarked, in
alludlng to the hearty welcome of friends
that they could not be as glad to
see him as he is to get back. He
said that he felt it his duty to remain at
Vienna through the administration of Mr.
Cleveland, but he did not intend to again
accept the Austrian portfolio if Mr.. Cleve-
land had been reelected. He said that he
regrets the defeat Of Mr.. Cleveland, which
he considers very unfortunate for the coun-
try, but not on his own account. His more
intimate friends knew that his plans were
not to remain at Vienna

sumo the active practice of his profession, and
he said that he will, but not immediately.

usual courtesy to the President
Speaking of the disastrous fire which oc-
Cured since he was last here, he said that
he had visited the burned district and was
panied to see how many objects of beauty

OVER IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Happenings on the Other Side of the
Savannah.

dA
The Charleston World has it on good au-
thority that the English syndicate which
has recently purchased the Rose mines for
$450,000, attempted lately to purchase the
property Of the Charleston Mining and
Manufacturing Company, and for the prop
erty of the company offered 50, 500, 900 The
company refused to sell at these figrues
and informeA the syndicate, through its
board of directors, that it would consider
an offer of s., 600, 900. The property of the
Charleston Mining and Manufacturing
Company cost it between $780, 600 and
100000, but judging by the dividends now
paid, is worth over So 600, 000
The NetrS and Courier says of Patrick F.
May, who lost his life at the recent fire in
this city, that ne Twas gallant and worthy
Ch&rlestonian. He was amongst the first TO
volunteer when the state seeded, and from
the beginning to the end of the war did his
duty as a soldier faithfully and heroically,
most of the time as member of the Z wentv=
fifth regiment of South Caroline volunteers.
For many years he was an officer of the
Palmetto Steam Fire Engine Company. and
was fearless and efficient fireman. He
was a lieutenant in the Irish Rifles, and was
a fine officer. Mr.. May identified himself
prominently with the cause of good govern
melt in Carolina, aud was an active worker
at electlonS. He was modest, warm-hearted
char table and good, and his sad and sud
den tleath is deeply deplored by many in

A THIEFS REWARD.
Renty Myers Peppered With Shot

Renty Myers Peppered With Shot
While Lifting a Melon.
Renty Myers, a colored man, loved water
melons not wisely, but too WE'LL and as a
result Of this fondness he had load Of No
s shot fired into the region Of his posterior
Wednesday night, while on a nocturnal
raid TO the melon patch Of Mrs. Gibbs, on
Ogeechee avenue, south of Battery park.
Mrs. Gibbs place has been invaded by
night providers quite often Of late and
turkeys, chickens and melons have disap-
peared as if by magic. Finally she en-
ployed VIM. Butler, cOlored constable, to
guard the premises. Wednesday night, be-
tween 9 and 10 O'Clock Butler, who was in
hiding with a double barreled shot gun
saw figure a shade darker than the night
stealthily approaching the melon patch.
Hating at the fence the visitor
cast furtiye glances about and evil
IDENTIFY thinking the coast was clear
patch, and with unerring faculty
selected the largest melon and was making
off with it, when Butler stepped to the front
and ordered Renty to halt. Renty quick
ened his step and held on to the melon,
when Butler fired one barrel in the air.
Renty dropped the melon as if 10 were a
piece of red-hOt iron and ran like race
morse, dlsregardlng Buffers warning to
halt when Butler, at distance of only Fifty
yards, let 60 the other barrel Of the gun at
him, and the fugitive, with cry of pain,
fell.
1t was some time before a conveyance
could be obtained, but finally Butler got a
wagon and brought his well-peppered pris-
oner to the city and delivered him at the
barracks at about 1870 o'clock yesterday
morning, where Dr. Drummer dressed mis-
wounds
Yesterday, in the mayors court, the pris-
oner was turned over to the city court, but
1t is understood that Mrs Gibbs, feeling
that he has been punished severely enough,
will not prosecute him. It was reported
yesterday that the prisoner had been sent
to the Georgia Inflrmary, but he had not
put in an appearance up to last night, and
it is quite probable that he Is nursing his
wounds at his home in Louisville

RAIL AND CROSSTIE-

The New York Commercial Bulletin saws
that insiders profess to be ignorant of any
new developments in regard to a deal be-
tween the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and the Kentucky Central rail-
roads No alliance will be made immedi-
ately, if at all.
The Elberton Gazette thinks that the
building OF the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern railroad will force the Richmond
and Danville railroad TO make the Elberton
road a broad gauge, and either extend it to
Washington or Augusta. Elberton's rail-
road prospects. the Gazette says, are as
good as those Of almost any town in the
state.
Information has been received in Macon
tnat Mai. I. D. Kline, late superintendent
OF the Southwestern railroad, with head
quarters at Macon, had been appointed
general superintendent Of the entire Mexi-
can National railway system, with head
quarters at Laredo, Tex. When Maj Kline
first went to the Mexican y ,tional he was
superintendent of single division.

refinement is everywhere apparent among
its inhabitants
Itseems that nature has especially adapted
this spot for permanent homes. The town
is forty-fiye feet above the level Of Ogeechee
creek by actual measurement, made IN 1876,
by Maj. Andrews and DR.. Woodruff Of the
United States army when the Savannah
garrison was quartered there. From this
elevated spot one has q fine view Of a good
farming country. Dr. A. B. Lanier, the
leading physician, states that he has never
treated a case of malarial fever within the
corporate limits; in fact, the village is as
free from fevers as any Of the mountain
towns OF Georgia. The progress the little
town has made during the past two years is
simply marvellous.

THE "FENCE" VICTORY.
What a mo Fence" Leader Says
About 1t.

One Of the leaders of the "no fence" side
said yesterday, in discussing Wednesdays
election, that the rain and the general
apathy of the people conspired to defeat the
no fence law. He was disposed to think
that the issue had been forced too suddenly
upon the people. He thought that they
should have been educated up to it for at
least six months before hazardlng a contest
against an organized opposition.
The gentleman went on to say, that while
the fence men won, it was Il victory that
must impress them with the fact that it
will be but short time before they must
yield to the inevitable defeat that awaits
them. At the fence election in 1877, about
1900 votes, he said, were cast for fence and
only about 200 for no fence. In other words
the fence men have lost about 700 votes
in twelve years, and the no fence men. have
gained over 300 votes. The same proper
ton of gain and loss, leaving out of the
question that the rains kept hundreds of no
fence men from the polls, will in few
years, he thought. bring about no fence
law by the vote of the people. 1t is stated,
however, that special legislation will be
sought to compel the fencing of cattle and
disseminating 1.-THE fencing in of crops in
portions of the county, especially on some
of the islands. The no fence men, while de-
feated, do not appear TO be discouraged, but
propose to keep nammering away until they
knock down the fences inclosing crops.
They argue that the agricultural interest Is
paramount to that of the cattle interest,
and they propose to agitate the question
until public sentiment is mulded to assert
the correctness of their views.
