Pilgrimage.


The knights of Palestine commandery
and their ladies left yesterday afternoon al
1899 o'clock, via the Atlantic Coast Line

they travel was prettily decorated. 1t was

Charleston the special car of the South Car.
DINA commandery was coupled on to the
train. The two Communicates will proceed
to w shlngton together, arriving there this
forenoon at IL 80 O'clock.
In consequence of the day being Sunday
no parade was made by the knights. Some
OF them marched down to the depot In their
uniforms, while the greater number were in
citizens dress. The time of the trains is
so arranged that the Georgia Co nmanderv
will arrive at the Baltimore and Ohio depot
just few minutes before the arrival of the
South Carolina Commandery at the B ilti-
more and Potomac depot. The former will
march to the Baltimore and Potomac rail-
road and meet the Charleston delegation.

Columbus, and the Occur de Lion of At
lanta, will march in full uniform to its
quarters. This battalion will form q Dor
ton of the Tenth division.
The conclave will continue through Fri
day, after which the members will return
home. The majority of the Savannah con-
ungent will probably be absent for about
ten DAYS, as most of them are DESTROYS of
spending several days In Washington and
the vicinity, looking over the various points
OF historical interest in a more leisurely
manner than the rush of the present week
will permit.

Storm.

Mercury Drops in the Face of a Coast
Storm.
Another cold wave arrived in Savannah
last night. The temperature took sudden
drop, but the minimum will be reached
tonight. 1t is likely that the mercury will
go down to So, which is s. lower than it
was during the last cold snap. At Atlanta
and Charlotte last night the to nperature
was 4o', and at Knoxv lie it was 49,. In the
northwest the temperature has dropped very
low. The barometer is varying from 81. 10 to
30 40. 1t is below the freezing point in
Dakota. Frosts will probably be reported
to-day from the upper part of Georgia and
the states north Of Georgia The highest
temperature reached here yesterday was
o4'. The highest for to-day will probably
not be above 729,
The cold wave will not remain longer
than tomorrow. The coolest weather will
be to-day and tonight.
At o'clock last night the following tele-
gram was received from the signal depart
ment at Washington:
Hoist cautionary northeast 1880 Savannah
ana Savannah section; cyclone off the Carolina
coast. High off shore winds.
The signal observers say that this is proba-
bly, the same cyclone which was reported on
the south Florida coast Saturday mig ut.
They think that the storm has moved north
easterly and is out on the ocean, It will
hardly amount to anything now. Its infiu-
ence caused high winds in Charleston YES
terday and last night. The wind blew at
the rate of thirty miles an hour. At one
time it reached between twenty and twenty
five miles an hour. Light rains occurred
all along the coast except at Savannah. In
Florida rains were reported from many
stations

for County Use.
The committee on poor farm of the
county commissioners, of which Commits
sioner Read, himself a practical planter, is
chairman has determined to utilize the
light labor on the place, and to that end
has concluded to put practical man on the
place who understands farming, believing
that no uncomfortable expense may be
saved by raising vegetables on the place for
those whom the county has to feed. It Is
the intention of the committee to find a
practical gardener with whom to try the
experiment, and one is advertised for in the
MORNING News to-day.
There is almost at all times a class Of
prisoners among the younger offenders and
the colored females who cannot well be
utilized in the work of drainage, but could
be made available in the truck patch, aud
now that the county owns its own teams,
they too could be utilized to break up the
ground, aid furrow 1t off, and plow the
crops at odd times. 1t is the opinion of the
committee that the experiment will be a
satisfactory one

Richard Green, a machinist in the employ
of the MORNING NEWS, Mr.. and Mrs
Corish, and two young ladies at No. 20t
Bryan street, were made very sick day
before yesterday from eating fresh oysters,
and Mr.. Green was so i'll that for time il
was thought he would not recover. The
oysters had every appearance of being fresh
and 1t is supposed that some foreign sub.
stance OF poisonous nature was inadvert-
emily permitted to find its way among them
and was not detected when they were pur.
chased for the table. Mr.. Green was able
to be about yesterday, but is still very
weak. All who ate Of the dish had to have
medical attendance.
