The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-08-16

The citizens of Shelby county, Indiana,
seem to have forebodings of the destruction
of the world by birthstone AID fire, from
the way speculation in town lots and farm
land has been spoiled by the late upheavals
OF the earth there. They should not take
such fateful view # the matter, however
All kinds of predictions about a fearful
visitation, disaster aud destruction were
made when natural gas began to make its
appearance in the vicinity Of Pittsburg.
But, whether people disdained the thought
OF such things, or thought it wise to make
money out of the deposit before the calamity
came, they paid no heed to it, unless by
becoming more diligent in the search for
gas. And they found it in abundance,
piped it, and some of them made millions
out of it. UnQuestionably some enter
priSing Hoosier will soon dispel all this
superstitious dread in the same way the
Pennsylvanians did.

! he Common Sense of the Court,

One of the oldest and best practitioners at the
Erie county bar, says the Buffalo Courier. was
arguing motion at a neighboring county seat
and was depending more upon his own SOUND
logic than upon authorities for success At 6
critical juncture the Judge interrupted the
speaker with this inquiry:
Yes. understand, but where are your au
thorities upon the subject?"
IF your honor please" retorted he briskly,
Il will explain the absence of authorities, with
your permission, by telling little story: A
young man fires 1ly admitted to practice had
produced In court IN support OF a motion a

the judge at length interrupted YEARLY You

give you some advice. 1t does very well to cite
authorities once in a while, but YOU must

Fate plays some peculiar pranks All of
us believe that fate has more or less to do
with our destinies, but fate or destiny has
taken a most peculiar course with John
Steinel, citizen of Reading, Pa. He never
leaves hone without being robbed, and
his friends are beginning to believe that his
misfortunes are due more to habit
than fate. About six months ago he went
to New Y ork to sail for Germany, and two
days later returned, saying that he had
been robbed of all his money. Three
months later he went to New York and was
again robbed, this time of both his money
and his trunk. A few days ago he left home
with 5000, planning as usual to visit his rel
atives in Germany, and the same day he
returned to Reading minus his trunk His
wife, tired of sucn a monotonous perform
ance, has had him arrested and compelle /
him to give enough bail to keep him at
home. Thu he is finally robbed of his
liberty by his own wife.

The governor Of South Carolina has been
making some remarks to the President of
the United States. The governor appoin ted
two democrats, instead of one republican and
one democrat, as commissioners to the
Worlds Fair as the law provides. His at
tention was called to the matter by the
President and the governor replied that he
appointed two democrats because there was
no republican in the State of South Caro-
lima to whom he was willing to intrust so
responsible duty. The law on the SUI bject
is plain, however. and the question now is
whether the commission of one of the COM
missioners from South Carolina is not in.
valid. Unless a republican is appointed
South Carolina will probably be the only
state in the Union which will not be fully
represented officially at the Colum ban Elk
position.

If at any time there has been a doubt
about the denomination of Col Lester that
doubt was set at rest yesterday by the pri-
mary election in Scriven county. There is
only one other county to choose delegates
in the First congressional district, and that
is Charlton. Col. Lester will be renomi-

The Worlds Fair Site.

The country Is losing a good deal Of its
interest in the worlds fair on occount of
the difficulty experienced in securing site
at Chicago. 1t has been stated quite fire.
quently within the last two or three weeks
that the site question was settled, and that
part of the fair would be on the lake
front and another part in jackson park A
dispatch from Chicago says that as a mat
ter of fact nothing is as yet definitely set
tied with respect to the site.
Frederick Law Olmstead, the engineer
who was called to Chicago from Boston,
after examining Jackson park, expressed
an opinion as to its fitness for far purposes
that was not at all satisfactory to the
directors Of the fair. An ex-congressman
said that Mr.. Olmsteads report had given
jackson park scientific knock out"
1t seems also that there is trouble with
respect to the lake front site. The Illinois
Central railroad has a lien of some kind
upon it, and that corporation will not enter
into the agreement with respect to it which
the directors of the fair regard as necessary.
Besides, before that site can be used many
acres Of the lake must be filled in, and it is
regarded as doubtful whether the Secretary
of War will permit that to be done, because
the place to be filled is the only available
haroor for vessels along large part of the
city front. The outlook, therefore, for a site
on the lake front is not very promising.
Chicago does not realize the Importance
of settling the question of site at as early
day as possible. If she does not make
greater progress than she has yet in select
ing site it will be very long time before
she will be ready to open the fair.
