DIR. BAooN's LATEST SENSATION.
A Sermon That Has Made Him Much
Talked OF Man.

a sermon That has Made blm Much
Talked OF Man.
DR.. Leonard Woolsey Bacon, D. D.. has
created another sensation. Dr. Bacon
creates a sensation every now and then
that attracts the attention Of the
entire country to him. Some years
ago. when he was pastor of the
Independents Presbyterian church Of this
city, he aroused storm of adverse COM
ment by sermon that was regarded as an
attack on the south and southern modes of
thought. AS result he was forced to re-
sign and returned to the section from
whence he came.
DR. Bacon is now pastor Of a Congrega-
tional church at Norwich, Conn. There he
has preached a sermon attacking the past
administration OF the city government
which has set the whole state talking. DIR.
Bacon did not hesitate to use the plaiuest
language, so plain in fact, that, according
to northern newspapers. no member of his
congregation would permit book or news
paper containing his expressions to fall into
the hands OF the women Of his family. In
the milder part of his attack on former city
officials DR.. Bacon said: You have been
worse than the corrupt governors Of the
oorruptest cities of the world. Your uni-
formed officers detailed for duty at the
county fair grounds have protected the
licensed sharpers In their robberies and
swindlss. For all this guilty coalition be-
tween the law aud the Ia w-bresker the ex-
mayors of this city have been man by man
responsible
ut is within the competency aud within
the duty of the law to shut up the Bucking-
ham house bar; and with a good mayor sus-
tanned by righteous citizens, and with a
competent and uncorrupt board of county
commissioners that notorious place would
be shut up were the proprietor ten times q
Christian and a hundredfold q member OF
the Broadway Congregation Il church."
Ex-Consul to Spain Henry Ruggles is the
gentleman referred to, and the hotel is the
finest in Norwich.
Public sentiment is we'll divided as to how
the sermon shall be regarded, and the
former Savannah minister is the most talked
of man In that section at present

THE 9-HOUR LAW.
Trouble Has Already Resulted at Sew
eral Points.


eral Points.
The S-hour law, to which attention has
already been directed by the MORNING
NEWS in connection with its probable effects
on the Savannah river and harbor i'm
provements. has already caused trouble at
several points.
AT New Orleans, In the absence Of the
United States engineer in charge OF the
government work there the men struck be-
cause the subordinates declined TO put the
provisions OF the law in force in his alb
sence. Ia talking with a reporter about
the matter one of the officers said
that the new law is very complicated, as it
does not say word about wages, nor
whether 1t applies to men working by the
day or by the month. Heretofore the men
have been working ten hours a day, and
were being paid wages ranging from 81 80
a day up az the rate OF so much an hour.
The laborers received 81 so a day for ten
hours work-15 cents an hour, and II they
missed half a day they were paid for five
hours' work. Under the new law the men
will work eight hours a day, and this Will
entail the employment Of a vast number OF
men additional throughout the United
States, and will increase the expenses one
fifth. The men cannot work over eight
hours a day except In cases Of extraordinary
emergency. and this brings up another
problem; that is, what construction shall
be placed upon the words extraordinary
emergency"
The whole law has been placed in the
hands Of the Attorney General to be con-
strued.
Another thing worthy of attention."
said this officer, sis the fact that the inaugu-
ration Of this S-hour system will bring to
this country a tide OF immigration of a
class, too, very undesirable. Already
have had numerous applications for work,
and from persons never saw before. They
know that with the amount Of work on
hand to be done it will be absolutely neces>
sary TO employ a large number Of men
additional even on the works here, hence
the applications already. This will be the
case too all over the country

stituted for two OF the players on the orlgi-
nal list sent up from Savannah just after

read to him:
And it is further agreed that all players on

season in their respective cities. Either side
found guilty Of violating this clause will forfeit
all moneys In the Stockholders band.

Reddy was from Charleston and Butler

ball this season in the aforementioned
cities. Mr.. Basch first refused to Withdraw
these two men and Mr.. Meyers then said
he would have TO turn over the $50 forfeit
money il he violated the agreement to Mr..
Howe. Mr.. Howe, seeing that Mr.. Basch
would withdraw from the game if he took

people of Augusta would be very much dis

The Pullman Palace Car Company is con-
structinR for the Pennsylvania company
ten Rold-mounted cars, which will be used
on their New Y ork, Philadelphia and Chi
cago limited. The cars will cost nearly
$50, 900 each and will be among the finest
ever built. The exterior presents about the
same appearance as all Pullman cars, but it
is the interior which will surpass all of the
conpany's former efforts. To begin with
the elaborate decoration, the metal work
which is used around the Stats, about the
electrical and oil lamps and the reoeptacles
for parcels, ETC.. is all gold-nounted This,
the Pullman company says. is more service
able than any other metal, and at the same
time adds to the richness of the ornamental
ton. Next in the decorations which claims at
tention is the character of the wood used ia
the construction of the outer surface OF the
upper berths the frames of the seats, doors,
and in fact all the wood within the interior.
1t is a rare growth aud can only be pur-
chased by the pound Where the Pullman
company obtained this wood, and what is
its variety or cost, are secrets Of the COM
pany. IL is very scarce. There is only a
limited supply, and the company expecJs to
use all 1t can lay hands on. 1t looks like
cherry in its general appearance but Is far
richer, and has a soft finish which resembles
fine satin. To harmonic with the gold
mountings and the general effect of the
woodwork. the coverings of the seats
which are the finest quality of horse hair
have been dyed golden hue. There is also
new departure in the ventilating arrange
ments. The ventilators are round in shape,
as it ia said that they are the best for the
purpose yet designed. giving a general cur
