HUTCHINSON ISLANDS FUTURE
The Great Terminus of Railroads Cen
tering in Savannah.

The Great Terminus Of Railroads Cen
tering in Savannah.
The Seaboard Construction Company is
making an active canvass for subscriptions
in Atlanta, Macon and Columbus as well as
in this city.
The projectors of the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic railroad think that they have
bonanza in Hutchinson Island, and are
anxious to interest those identified In
various railroad enterprises in its develop.
ment. 1t is claimed that for not very
large sum of money that part of the island
owned by the Seaooard Company can furn-
lsh terminal facilities for the convenience of
city of half a million people. The ideas
of the value of the island enter
tanned by those who bought the city's hold
ings have run up land ON other parts of the
island to fabulous prices. One tract of 30
acres, which belonged to the estate of War
ing, and which was sold six months ago for
$4,000, is held at $50, 900, and another similar
strip along the river front, which changed
hands few years ago for $500, is now held
at $4,000. These figures give only faint
idea OF the boom on this island.
1t is stated on very good authority that
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic, the South
Bound railroad, the Macon and Atlantic rail-
road and the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery railroad have united their in
terests in terminals in this city, and will
use Hutchinson Island.
A track, it is said, may be built along
the north. or South Carolina, side of the
Savannah river, the South Bounds bridge
being utilized to get across the river and a
crossing to the island made at some narrow
point on Back river.
or course great deal of lee-way must be
allowed for a much that is heard about
railroad matters; out one thing appears to
be beyond doubt-that there is some positive
understanding between the managers of at
least three of the railroad lines now being
built toward this city. In each of these
companies there is an Inner circle' or
head center" that keeps its own counsel,
not only from stockholders, but even from
a majority of the directors of the com.
panies.

THE CITY's STREET PAVING.
The Council Inclined to Try Asphal
Blocks on Bull street.

The Council Incliued to Try Asphalt
Blocks on Bull street
Mr.. Scharf, OF the Warren-Scharf As,
phalt Company, is in the city superintend-
ing the repairs to the Broughton street
pavement. Mr.. Scharf's company put down
the pavement, and under the contract with
the city has to keep the pavement in order
for five years. The time expires this year.
1t was to the efforts Of the late DIR. j. j.
Warning and Mr.. Scharf that the people are
indebted for the introduction of the asphalt
pavement. No improvement made in Sa-
vannah in the last decade has done more to
advance its material interest and to improve
the general appearance Of the city than the
asphaltiug of several Of its prominent thor
oughfares.
Mr.. Scharf, in short talk with repre-
sentative of the MORNING NEWS Yesterday,
said that he did not think there is much
prospect Of his company getting contract
for additional paving.
II some member of the present board
would take hold of the asphalt paving
question with the same energy and determi-
nation as did the late DR.. Warning, a man to
WHOM Savannah Is indebted for many of
the most valuable improvements made in
the city, it would not be difficult to have all
the principal thoroughfares asphalted. The
people want SUCH work done, and all that is
necessary is for some one in authority to 60
vigorously to work and put the paving
question in shape.
The city council committee on streets and
lanes is inclined to try the asphalt block
paving, similar to that on Bay street, in
front of the city exchange, and like the
sidewalk around the new court house for
paving Bull street. 1t was the intention of
the council to pave Bull street only as far
south as Liberty street, but the recent de-
cision OF the supreme court making church
corporations liable for their share of paving
assessments may enable the city to pave as
far south as Forsyth park for nearly the
same amount that it would cost to
pave as far as Liberty street under its prior
decision, which exempted church property
The churches and public property on Bull
street liable to assessment under the new
decision are the Lutheran church, the
county court house, Independent Presby-
terrain church, Chatham Academy. Baptist
church, st. John's church, the Female Or
phan Asylum. First Presbyterian church
and Mickva Israel synagogue.

THOMAS VESTS FUNERAL.
A Crowd of People at the Cemetery
Witness the Last Rites

A Crowd of People at the Cemetery to
Witness the Last Rites.
The funeral of Thomas West yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock was attended by an
immense concourse OF people, and it seemed
as if third of Savannah was gathered in
Laurel Grove. The avenues around the
Masonic lot, where the body was inferred.
were practically impossible, and large num-
bers of people stood on the iron ratings Of
neighboring lots to get glimpse of the
burial ceremonies.
The procession was headed by the Regi-
mental band, preceding the German Voluu-
teers thirty-hye strong, and behind them
came Cobb's band IN advance of Palestine
Commandery No. Z, Knights Templar, and
the Hibernisn Society. On reaching the
cemetery the Volunteers and Hiberniaus
were drawn up on the outside of the lot.
and the commandery marched in and
formed a circle around the grave, while
Rev. 0. P. Fitzsimous read the services Of
the order. The Templars sang several Sc
lections, aud at the conclusion the cornetist
of Cobb's band sounded flights out" The
Volunteers then paid the soldiers tribute by
firing three volleys over the grave.
The floral tributes were many and beauti-
full, and the grave was almost hidden from
view by them. The pallbearers were Capt
Jordan F. Brooks and Andrew Hanley
from the Hibernian Society, Diedrlch
Grother and #. Rughd from the German
Volunteers, and Edgar F. Whitcomb and
Henry T. Beckett, personal friends of the
deceased. The Knights pallbearers were

Mecon's Selection for the Enampmcept
Gives General Satisfaction.
The selection of Macon as the place for
holding the permanent encampment of the
state troops was the general topic Of con-
versation among military men in Savannah
yesterday. Without exception they ex-
press the opinion that the board has made
a wise selection, aud they hope that Macon
will accept whatever conditions were
offered hy the board.
Col Reilly, who is just out from an
attack OF the grip, expressed himself
as delighted. He said Macon has all the
advantages for encampment purposes,
and, as it is in the central portion of
the state he believed the selection would
give universal satisfaction to all the military
of Georgia.
Col. Reilly said he thought from the start
that either Macon or Rome would get the
encampment. Rome made an offer Of the
exposition grounds and buildings and sew
eral thousand dollars beside, but Macon's
offer, with the city's natural advantages,
overbalanced the former. The encamp-
ment grounds are located outside of the
city, near VineviIle.

night about 80 o'clock. No alarm was
sounded, but No. engine and hose reel
went as far as Anderson street, but, as the
fire was beyond the water limits, nothing
could be done.
Chief Puder drove out to the scene, but
there was not a person around from whom
he could get any information. The house
stood alone in fenced-in acre lot. Whether
or not it was occupied, to whom the prop
erty belonged or what caused the fire could
not be learned.
When the chief left the ruins the fence
was atre. There are no houses anywhere
near the place, and as there was no danger
nothing was done to prevent the fence from
burning

WESLEY IN SAVANNAH.
Savannah was the scene of a part Of John
Wesley's early ministry, before he had be-
gun his great life work, and also of his
brother Charles, and that alone is sufficient
to make the history of his ministry here Of
interest TO the people of Savannah of to-day
Of all classes, since the laborer in this then
obscure vineyard of 1856 years ago has since
achieved such fame in the religious history
Of the world.
Wesley's rigid Interpretation of the doc
trines and attempts at reformation within
the Church Of England being SO oddly re-
ceived, IN fact being met with so much OBJ
position, in Englsn he determined to be-
come a missionary to the Indians, and, with
his brother Cha les, Oct. ID, I735, en-
barked at Gravesend with Gen. James
Oglethorpe on his second voyage to the
eolony which he had founded and named
Georgia.

There were several Moravians on board
the vessel, coming to join the colony.
Though the party embarked on Oct. IA it
was prevented by storms and other delays
from departing until Dec. 10, when the long
voyage began. The time on board was
chiefly spent in prayer, exhortation and
singing of hymns
While delayed at Cowes, Wesley bap-
hzed four unbaptized Quakers.
The voyage from Cowes to the Savannah
river was made in ffty-seven days. The
ship was subjected to heavy storm, lasting
several days, during the latter part of jan
uary, during which Wesley at one time
very narrowly escaped being washed over

change might have been made ia the
