AMONG THE TROTTERs.
The Turf Interest Reviving-The July
Races.

Races.
The coming race between R. W. Powers
PAGER, Pat Fallon, and E. c. Gleason's
trotter, Susong, July 4, is all the talk
among lovers of the turf. The purse is
$1,000, aud IL is said that the horses are
being backed for five times as much by
their admirers. The Thunderbolt course
has been engaged, and the horses are in
training. It is conceded that they are the
two fastest travellers in the South Atlantic
states, and as both have won laurels there
is desire to see which has the best bottom
The event is to be mile heats, best three in
five.
Mr.. Powers told Mr.. Gleason last night
that Pat Fallon will take three straight
heats and Mr.. Gleason replied that Susong
will distance the PAGER in the first heat, so
that no more will be necessary. Without
testing, the owners of the racers admitted
that both horses are fast, and while neither
gentlemen will concede that he owns the
slowest nag, it will be the closest race and
the fastest one ever seen over the Thunder
bolt course.
Sunday last Susong was driven on the
White Bluff road, to skeleton wagon, by
Birch. the driver being go pounds over
weight, and, though handicapped by
wagon and driver, ne made q half mile
with a running mate in liz.
Fallon beat Optimus, Doyle's stallion
Claymore, and the fast mare, Bessie R.,
over the Thunderbolt course during May
week, and, though the PAGER Stacked up
when the stallion fell back, the timers gave
Fallon the course In 2:4o1l, the fastest time
ever made over the course, breaking the
record Of Lucy Wilkes, who made it several
years ago In 2:401&. The mare afterward
trotted over the course at Fleetwood, N. Y,
in 2:1615 and 2:17. Lucy Wilkes was
years old when she made her time
here, and Fallon Is only years old.
The Thunderbolt course, which Is only a
half-mile track, with short turns, is fifteen
seconds slower than the Fleetwood track.
Pat Fallon has q record in the American
Jockey Club Association OF 1888, given him
when he beat Headlight and Angel over the
Columbus course in 1888. Headlight, with
record of 2:1S, was beaten by Pat Fallon
in three straight heats.
Susong is years old and has q record of
2:391 made at Columbus in 1888. He won
the Tybee stakes last year in three straight
heats, time not taken, beating To Be and
MaggieD
Madden, the well-known Charleston turf
man, has his stables at Thunderbolt, consist
ing of his three fast runners, Maud, Nor
dick and R. B. c. They will be entered in
the running races on the Fourth, but the
Pat Fallon-Susong race seems to have
absorbed all the interest, as it is to be the
feature of the day. 1t is understood that
Charlestonians are backing Pat Fallon
heavily.

The Inspectors Investigation Com
pleted Yesterday.
The testimony before the United States
inspectors of bulls and boilers in the Cres-
cent City and st. Augustine drawbridge
case was concluded yesterday by the testi-
mony of ]. Fl. Elton, one of the excursion
lists on the boat at the time that Capt
Murray attempted to force open the draw
bridge. Mr.. Elton's testimony was very
satisfactory to the management of the Sa.
vannah and Atlantic Railway Company, as
1t did not corroborate the testimony of the
officers OF the Crescent City ON material
points.
The officers of the boat were cross-ques-
toned very closely on their published inter
view in the MORNING NEWS, which was put
in evidence by the railroad company. In the
cross-examination the Crescent City officers
sought TO convey the idea that they told the
reporter anything to get rid of him, and
they said as much.
The facts are that on the day following
the collision a MORNING NEWS reporter
went aboard the Crescent City at her moor
ings, and inquired for the captain, who was
absent, and the pilot was rather anxious to
give his statement, which was taken, but
before leaving the reporter told the
pilot that If the captain desired
to give his version of the case
to call at the reportorial rooms at o'clock
that night. Before the hour the captain
and pilot were on hand. The captain re-
quested the reporter to go over his notes of
the interview with the pilot. which was
done. Some changes were suggested, and
the captain volunteered the statemen t
which was published the following morn
ing.

Supervisor Beckett VIII Keep the
Census Lists Open This Week.

Census Lists Open This Week.
Supervisor Beckett expected to have
completed the census of Savannah by last
night, but it will require several days longer
TO finish up the work, and go over some Of
the districts. Mr.. Beckett was asked last
night how the work is progressing.

competent men. / do not doubt that good
many people have been missed, but the az

being driven in daily-one family Of eight
persons, which left Town after June /, but
two days before the enumerator reached
their residence, was handed in to-day.
The MORNING NEWS has rendered very
valuable assistance TO me in that respect, as
many who were dodgers over stores and
offices on the Bay were induced to send for
enumeration lists, which l promptly fur
nished
"Are you receiving any complaints
from people whom the enumerators have
missedp
Several complaints have been made TO
me OF failure on the part of the enumera-
tors to call at certain houses. / Investigated
every such case, but with hardly an excep-
ton found that the enumerators had done
their duty as far as possible. For example,
frankly acknowledged that his family had
removed from the city two weeks before
the work began, and when the enumerator
made his rounds there was not single soul
in the house except a servant whose name
appeared upon the list"
II earnestly desire that the work shall be
well done, and to that end will keep the
schedules as long as possible in order that
the stragglers may be gathered in, and will
feel grateful for any aid the citizens may
give me in securing a complete count The
census authorities are anxious to procure a
thorough enumeration. and any labor re-
quired OF me personally to accomplish that
purpose will not be grudgingly rendered"
when will the result of the count be
known9"
'That will depend upon the superintend-

disappointed at the result, but it must be
remembered that the census of 1880 gave
the city population of about 80 700. Is
there any just reason to expect an increase

greater increase than thatl The section

YESTERDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
The Laundry Firms Losses-To Re-
build at Once.

The Laundry Firms Losges-To Re-
build at Once.
A number Of hands were at work yester-
day clearing away the debris of the burnt
warehouse at the corner Of Bay and Hous-
ton streets. The walls of the upper story
have fallen out, covering the sidewalk and
filling up the lane. The shoe shop of M.
Buonasa, on the east side of the warehouse,
was crushed in by the falling walls Buonasa
lost about $35 worth of tools and material.
The building is owned by Miss Johnny
Lacy, and the loss was covered by an insur-
ance of $500.
The telephone wires were torn down by
the falling walls during the fire, but were
replaced yesterday.
Mather q Batten, proprietors of the EN-
pire Steam Laundry, say their total loss is
nearly 5000, with an insurance of SO 600.
There was about 81 900 worth of laundered
clothes burned, which the owners will not
lose, as they will be remunerated
by the laundry company at reasonable
rates. The books of the firm, fortunately.
were at the Broughton street office. and the
records will show the number of pieces be-
longing to each patron. The company does
not propose to pay any fancy bills, how
ever. One young man was at the laundry
office yesterday morning and demanded So
ior ms Washing, which he supposed had
been burned. His bundle was safe in the
office and the charges on it were Just 40
cents.
Mather q Batten moved into the build.
ing six weeks ago with a ten years lease.
They have ordered new machinery, Unless
they can secure building suitable to their
purposes Immediately. they will build on
the corner Of Bay and Lumber streets. The
burned building was the property of Mrs,
Douglas, and was valued at 5000, nearly
covered by insurance.

Mercury Fails to Get Above 90 in
Spite of Itself.
Yesterdays rain was a welcome visitor.
The forenoon was hot and sultry, but the
thunderstorm in the afternoon reduced the
temperature. A dark cloud came up in the
west early in the afternoon, which
grew blacker and blacker until at 3 o'clock
it was dark as at dusk. The rain poured
down in torrents, accompanied by flashes
of lightning and heavy thunder. To
the timid the clouds had an
ominously cyclonic appearance The
storm was of the variety such as usually
follows very sultry spells. Some of the
flashes of lightning were very vivid, but no
harm was done. After half an hours
steady downpour the rain changed to a
slow drizzle, which continued until night.
The difference in the temperature in
the morning and the afternoon was very
perceptible. The maximum temperature
was 800 and the minimum IL. The mean
so, was exactly normal
Savannah was the coolest point in the Sa-
vannah district except Townsville, where
the maximum temperature was only So,
and cambridge, where it was only $40.
Millen registered So and Eastman 9SS.

usual hot weather. Hot, sultry weather

The Popularity of Tybee Almost Pho
nOmenal

1t is not strange that Savannah people
should love Tybee. They know by the ex-
perience of years that every dollar that
they have ever put there returns to them
an enormous yearly dividend in the in
creased health of themselves and children.
1t fills want, one of those "long felt" ones,
which all of the members of every family
feel when summer comes. When the energies
lag. and the 'grasshopper seems a burden, 81
trip to Tybee is the restorative which
makes all hands feel like "four-year- old. II
All of this is natural to Savannahians. 1t
is particularly gratifying, however, to have
Augusta, Macon and Atlanta confirm our
Judgment and flock to Tybee. 1t is espe-
they will come to the sale of lots at Tybee
on next Wednesday and ThursdaY.-Adr.
