FREIGHT BLOCKADE BROKEN
Train Service Over the Altamahe
Bridge Resumed.

Train Service Over the Altamaha
Bridge Resumed.
Repairs are about completed on the river
bridge over the Altamaha river on the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway.
which structure was damaged by the derail-
ment Of a lumber car last Wednesday morn
ing. The damage to the bridge was not
very great, only few of the members"
being knocked out of place by the flying
timber, but the river being at high water
now on account of the recent
heavy rains, makes the work of
repair more difficult. The bridge
was considered too weak to bear the weight
OF pile driver, which has caused the work
to proceed more slowly than would other
wise have been the case. The bridge was
not trusted to bear the weight of trains. or
even of single locomotive, and no locomo-
tive has passed over it since the accident.
With the exception OF some delay of
trains on the day Of the accident the pas
senger service Of the road has not been in
terfered with. When a passenger train
reached the bridge the cars were uncoupled
and pushed over by hand one at time. and
the train was made up again on the other
side, where another locomotive would take
it to its destination.
The freight traffic, however, has been
oAoSnoo AOI Unioo udJs, anu IrelRnb trains
have been tied up III the yards and along
the line of the road. A large amount Of
freight has accumulated since the blockade
begun.
Supt. Fleming has been at the scene of
the accident since Wednesday with large
force OF hands at work upon the bridge, and
will have it in order in day or so.
The officials of the road expected that the
bridge would be in shape to allow the move
ment of freight and passenger trains last
night
1t was reported last night that all the
passenger trains arrived on schedule time
yesterday, and that the freight trains were
being moved over the line as usual last
night
The timber that did the damage was of
the heaviest yellow pine, and 10x16 inches
at the ends and very long, and was being
shipped to New Haven to be used in rail-
road construction near that place.

REMEMBERING THE BUaLER.

Private @. w. strobhar Presented
With Trumpet by the Cadets.
Just as the Cadets were getting ready a
Dight or two ago to go out for drill, Capt.
J. II. Brooks called the members into the
assembly room and pretty presentation
took place.
Capt. Brooks then ordered Private G. W.
Strobhar to the center and front, and, in
behalf OF the company, he told the private
that the other members wished to show
their app eciation of him for his efficient
service as bugler, and took this occasion to
present him with an infantry trumpet
That he had, during the last skirmish
drill. performed excellent duty
as bugler, which was not an
unimportant part of the service. Capt
Brooks then referred TO MIR. Strobhar's per-
severence In the way OF fitting himself as
bugler, and has made himself very useful to
the command by reason Of this preparation,
He said that the gift showed 30 him that the
company was united and that the members
rejoiced to see one Of their number acquit
himself 30 we'll
Mr.. Strobhar was very proud Of the
trumpet, but he did not attempt to make a
speech. 1t was q complete surprise to him.
The trumpet is a handsome nickel-plated
instrument, with ornamentation, and gold
and tassle attached. 1t bears the inscrip-
ton: ITO c. w. Strobhar, from Savan-
nah Cadets, August, 1890"

a Devn Fish Fours sen Feet Wide.
From the Mobile Register.


There was a great deal of curiosity ex.
hibited yesterday on the arrival of the
devil fish captured on Friday in the bay.
The immense fish, lying on the barge Cora
at the foot of Eslava street, was visited by
hundreds of white and colored persons, and
all were greatly astonished at its immense
size.
The curious object was laid upside down,
and had the appearance of an immense bat
with outspreading wings. 1t measured
about IA feet from tip to tip OF sideways,
and from head to tail feet. Its immense
mouth was two feet wide, and instead of
teeth there was rough covering over the
lips. 1t appeared to have only backbone,
the rest of the fish being blubbery, like the
seal, and of a dark color. Two immense
eyes were seen just under two flukes a foot
and half long that projected from the
head. On the under side were a half dozen
openings on each side Of the center, which
furnished the lungs with air. and acted as
gills In a fish.
The weight is about 1900 pounds, and
twelve men and block and tackle were
used to load and unload it from dray.
This peculiar fish is common to the bay,
numerous small ones having been caught
over the bay during the present summer.
1t is properly called the devil fish and a
member Of the ray species. of which the
sting ray of the bay is member.

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
A Contest From Bryan May Mean a
Candidate From Bingham.

A Contest From Bryan May Mean a
Candidate From Dillingham;.
The senatorial convention to be held at
Guyton next Monday is likely to have q
contest to settle from Bryan county.
A mass-meeting has been called to be held
in Clyde to-day to elect new set of delegates
This meeting has been called, IL is under
stood, In the interest Of Mr.. Heery of CLYDE
The democratic executive committee of
the county was asked to call a meeting
and refused to do so, as they
claimed that the present senatorial delega-
ton was regularly elected at the mass meet
ing of the democracy Of that county at the
same time the delegates to the state and
congressional convention were elected, both
of which Legations duly served The
present senatorial delegates from BRYAN
were given credentials just as credentials
were given the state and congressional dele
gates.
A gentleman from Bingham county who
understands the situation says that Capt.
r. P. Williams of Eliabell has the majority
of the delegation, and the movement on foot
to-day for the purpose Of defeating him, if
possible, even II Bryan county should lose
the senator.
The gentleman from bingham expressed
the opinion that the delegation from his
county will support Capt Williams in the
convention.
The Guytonians, it is understood, expect
to have the stage OF the hall where the con-
vention meets handsomely decorated. and
the speakers'table, it is said, will be a wealth
of flowers. The programme is for Mayor
Sweat to welcome the visiting delegates,
and, II the contest does not bring about a
deadlock in the convention, the work of the
latter will soon be performed.

AWAITING MR.. PARSONS ACTION
His Two Street Railways May Change
Their Motive Power.

His Two Street Railways May Change
Their Motive Power.
The City and Suburban railway and the
Coast Line have not yet made any decisive
move toward changing the motive power
of these roads from horse power to electric
power
The president OF the system was asked
yesterday by MORNING NEWS reporter if
the company will make the change, and he
replied that the company will not do so
immediately, as it had not yet decided what
electric system TO use If any.
The management has been in correspond
ence for some time with the Thompson
Houston, the Edison, the Westinghouse and
other wellknown electric companies, and
also with large number of street railway
companies now using the different electric
systems. They wish to make certain that
the working of the electric system Is
entirely satisfactory before making a
change, and to secure the very best system
when the change Is made.
The official said that he had read SO much
lately with regard to the various electric
systems that he was thoroughly confused,
and knew very little more about IL now
than he did before. However, he said the
company had received bids on several por-
tions of the work, and will be ready to
rush things when change is decided upon.
Mr.. Parsons, the president, is now at his
summer home In Maine, where the cores
pondence with the electric companies has
been forwarden to him, and the matter
awaits his decision. The official said, in
conclusion, that 1t is possible that the City
and Suburban railway will be operated by
electricity by next spring
