CRUISING TO THE SOUTHWARK.
Georgia and Carolina Yachtsmen OF
for st. GATHERINGS.

Georgia and Carolina Yachtsmen Off
for st. GATHERINGS.
The annual cruise of the Savannah and
Carolina yacht clubs. looked forward to
with so much pleasure, is now a thing of
the present, as the yachts shook out their
sails at Thunderbolt yesterday afternoon,
and headed for st. GATHERINGS island, where
the yachtsmen will spend two or three DAYS
fishing and in social enjoyments.
Capt. James Ward, who sailed the Alex
ander G. for his brother-in-law, Capt. Cam
eron, in Thursdays regatta, says he would
have won the race had it not been for an
accident When at the mouth of Herb
river sudden gust snapped the twill hooks,
carried off his lanyard, and he had to shake
out his sails 10 save his mainmast, which
began 70 bend over.
This compelled him to take tack which
none Of the others had to make, and ia
making the tack he lost more time than he
was beaten. He says he will sail the Alex
ander c.. using club sails, against any
yacht In Thursdays regatta, and over any
course, for 500. The types made the
Alexander G. thirty-eight minutes behind
the fleet in crossing the line, when it should
have read thirty-eight seconds.

EVERYTHING MOVING SMOOTHLY.
Chief Sargent OF the Ffremen's
Brotherhood in Savannah

ClleI sargent OF the clromen 3
Brotherhood In Savannah
Everything was quiet in the Centrars
transportation department yesterday. IL
any employees were dismissed they are all
back in their old places. General Manager
Gabbett said last night that everything is
moving along smoothly. and he is appre-
hensive of no further trouble. The report
that firemen with no experience as an
engineer had been offered a position as
engineer Of frst-class passenger train il
he would sign the circular, Mr.. Gabbett
said. is untrue No such offer was made.
When asked concerning the list Of ques-
tions issued by the Richmond and Danyille
system, similar 10 those issued by the Cen
trail. he said that be had been informed that
the Richmond and Danville men had signed
the circular, or q large number of them had.
Chief F. p. Sargent Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen spent yesterday iD Sa-
vannah. and returned to Terre Haute, Ind,
last night. The differences with the Cen
trail having already been settled Mr. Sar-
gent had very little real work to do here.
He spent portion Of the time very pleas
antly with Mr.. Gabbett, discussing the
situation and some minor matters
concerning the firemen on the
Central system. Mr.. Gabbett said
that Mr.. Sargent did not take the extreme
We" OF tue question Whlcn Mr.. Arthur did,
but that, with some Objectionable features
eliminated. he would have no objection 70
signing the circular himself The fireman
made much Of their chief, and Brother
Sargent as they called him, was sur
rounded By an admiring crowd all day.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw Mr.. Sar-
gent, but as the trouble with the Central
had been satisfactorily adjusted he would
express no opinion whatever. IL the fire.
men were satisfied, Mr. Sargent said he
was satisfied. He could not reach here
earlier. having just arrived at his home, in
Terre Hauts, from San Francisco, and
came right on to Savannah. He was glad
the matter was already settled. The only
thing be wished TO say for publication was
that the 6remen of the Central system and
OF other southern roads are we'll satisfied,
are doing good work and they have few
grievances.
The employees of the Central under
stand their contract as binding them only
to give such information concerning each
other as may be ssrviceable In Kidding the
road of incompetent men.
The present contract with the engineers
expires Nov. l. Whether or not the man
agement will endeavor to make different
contract, and what will be the result, cannot
be foretold. There can be no trouble till
then, at least.

improvements at Bonaventure

The directors of the cemetery company
visited Bonaventure yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of looking into the condi-
zion of the bluff. They found that in order
to still further prevent the river from
making inroads into the bluff it would be
necessary to add to the revetments. The
committee in charge of the cemetery. was
authorized to have the work done, and also
to clear away the underground along a
portion of the river front.

GETTING ALONG PRETTY WE'LL.
Supervisor Beckett says that the work is
going on satisfactorily. The enumerators
average all the way from thirty to two
hundred names day. In the country dis
tricts the enumeration us nece ssarily very
slow. Only few enumerators have re-
ported 200 names a day. The average in
the city " about $50 names a day. In some
instances, the supervisor says, the enumer-
ators have crossed the streets which are tire
dividing lines of their district from
the adjoining district, and this has caused
some confusion. All of the enumerators
who were appointed except three are at
work. Supervisor Beckett received tele-
graphic instructions yesterday from Super
| intendent Porter that no euumerators will
be excused from duty except in case of
| sickness, and then physicians certificate
| must be submitted to the census authorities
| In all cases where the work is abandoned
or Is unnecessarily delayed the enumerator
will be held responsible, under the census
law.

One Of the prettiest gowns seen on the
street this season is a Felix, worn by
Maud Harrison. This dainty little wo-
man, with her flower like face, her cx-
quisite complexion and bright, bird like
eyes, is prettier off the stage than on it,
and this smart, suede hued, first empire
gown, made in a sort Of pelisse and en-
broidered with leather, harmoTIzes with
the browns Of her hair and eyes. Her
house frocks are all seamless in the waist,
giving her ample room in which to prac-
tice upon her beloved piano, banjo and
mandolin, for Miss Harrison is devoted
to these three Instruments.

When your stupid guest spills coffee
on your finest damask, rub the stain be-
fore the cloth has beer Numbered with a
mixture made by dissolving the yolk of
an egg in a little tepid water and adding
a few drops OF wine. Wash the mixture
of with clean warm water and the stain
will vanish with it. Fruit stains may be
removed from linen by washing in very
hot water. with a little soda. If they are
very obstinate stretch the stained part
over n cup Of boiling water until thor
oughly saturated with steam, and while
so holding it with one hand rub salts of
lemon into it with the other until the
stain disappears; then leave it soaking in
the hot water for a time, which will usu-
ally permanently eiTacc all traces of it.
In case this should fail there is left as
a last resort dipping the cloth in a weak
solution of chloride Of lime which has
been strained through muslin. The dan
ger in this lies not 90 much in the
strength of the solution as in the length
OF time the material is left in 1t, and af-
ter using the stained part should ba
washed thoroughly in cold water. New

Mn. Ferry knew there was a reason for
that, and, taking a careful survey of the
surroundings, she discovered in a cherry
tree a big and hungry looking wildcat
crouching on a limb. In an apple tree
not twenty feet away Was another.
Mrs. Ferry wasn't born in the woods to
be scared at a wildcat, and she knows
how to shoot. She went into the house,
got n double barreled gun that her hus-
band had discarded for n new one and
loaded both barrels with buckshot. Re
turning to the yard, she sent the contents
of one barrel through IA wildcat that
had his place in the cherry tree. He
came tumbling to the ground. Mrs.
Ferry did not wait to see whether he in
tended to die or not, but turned her at

tree. That one, at the sound Of Mrs.
Ferry's gun. sprang from the tree to an
other one, and was for beating a hasty
retreat for safety. Before he made a

The widest kind Of excitement pre-
vailed in the quiet old fashioned city Of
Norwich. Conn. Sunday morning. Miss
Emma Dwight. "a tall, willowy brunette
Of sweet Il, took it into her pretty head
to have a sensation and be the heroine
OF il This she accomplished 10y writ
ing u letter aud placing it in IA CON
spicuous plncr in her room and quiet
" getting out II the house. Her
friends were frantic when she failed
TO appear and they found her bed had
been unoccupied. The letter stated that
when read the body OF the writer would
bc cold at the bottom Of the Thames,
which flowed beneath her chamber win
dow. The city was aroused and the
neighboring towns and states were com
muuicated with to learn, il possible, It'd
ings OF the missing girl. When the ex-
element was at its greatest Emma walk
ed quietly down the street looking as
sweet and innocent as a lily -of-the-valley.
She had spent the night alone at the prin-
Cipal hotel, and after breakfast had step
ped out to see how the sensation was
working. No possible cause other than
a craving for notoriety is assigned for
the girls freak.
