The Worlds Fair at Chicago is
game of grab. If its history is fairly
put down it will be recorded as the
most cOlos sal fraud ever perpetrated.
1t was conceived in selfish greed and
has been worked from the beginning
and will be TO the end, more for per-
sonal benefit than public good. There
will be thousands of private fortunes
made out of this job, and all of these
fortunes will come out of the pockets
of taXpaying people. The HERALD
will repeat what it has repeatedly
said before, that Congress had no
more right to vote this appropriation
than it would have to build barn on
every farm in Maury County. And
when the fraud il shown up-as 1t
will be-those Legislators may yet be

THE influence of the press is illus
trsted by the interest it aroused the
country over in the Carlyle Harris
case. The reporters played the Har-
ris case as an every day sensation,
and their narratives read like a novel
One day he and his friends were hope
full; in the next chapter they were
in despair. The sorrowing mother,
the loyal young brother, the mar
tyred(?) Carlyle, all were made
to say very touching and tender
things, very narrowing and heroic
words, and 1t is surprising how
many people had learned to look
upon the wife murderer with the
tenderest sympathy and compassion.
1t might be some consolation to
Carlyle could he know that even this
far away charming little woman
bowed her head in sorrow and
dropped unfeigned tears of grief upon
the pages of the paper as she read OF
the martyr'sl p cruel death.

COUNTY COURT.
The County Court met in special
session last Monday to consider bridge
and turnpike questions.
The question of building q bridge al
WilliamspOrt was first taken up, and
after hearing the report Of the com.
mittee $4,000 was appropriated fol
the purpose Of building the bridge
| Bonds will be issued.
The Mt. Pleasant turnpike was the
next subject, and the usual wranglt
followed Finally it was agreed that
the Chairman Of the County Court
should appoint three men, Horace
Rsiney two and Jim Cranberry two
none of the number to be members
of the County Court, and that thi,
committee of seven should make
some disposition of the pike, subiec
to the action of the Court in July.
Then the Santa Fe bridge question
was brought up. A gentleman be
gan to read a proposition from the
turnpike company, and, like Arabs
the magistrates began to "silently
steal away" so that when the PROPOSE
ton was ready to be voted upon tn,

FREIGHT ON THE F. @. &P.
The Line win Be Open for Receipts
After Monday.


On and after Jan. 2, which will be next
Tuesday, the Florida Central and PENN
sular railroad, will be ready to receive
freights for points in almost any direc-
ton.
The freight will be received and bills of
lading issued at the Central railroad
depot. Freights will be carried to all
points in Florida, and TO Alabama, Louis
lana, Texas and the southwest, the con-
nection being made with the Louisville
and Nashville road through River juno
ton, Fla.
The road will also receive freights for
all points north and east, which they are
enabled to do by their traffic arrangement
with the Richmond and Danville railroad.
The freight train from Jacksonville will
leave there at 10 a. m, and arrive here
at 3 p. m, connecting with the steamers,
and will also be taken on the
fast freight to Columbia, which
leaves at 1926 p. m, arriving in
Columbia at 9 40 p. m. where it connects
with the Richmond and Danville's fast
schedule. Going south the freight will
leave here at 7:05 p. m. and arrive in
Jacksonville at $3.50 a. m. The road ex-
poets but little local business between
Savannah and Jacksonville.
The Florida Central and PeHiasular
will put on a through sleeper from Jack"
vile TO New Orleans via the Louisville
and Nashville through River junction, at
an early date.

ROCKETS ON THE ASPHALT.
Boys Find More Fun In Soaring People
Than in Shooting the Stars.

Last night shortly before o'clock,
when Bull street, in the neighborhood of
the DeiSoto, was we'll filled with ladies
and gentlemen on their way TO the thea
ter, afoot and in carriages, a party of
boys in Madison square fired rockets up
and down the street. The rockets were
not pointed into the air, but laid fiat on the
asphalt. And away they went,
skipping and kissing between the
legs of pedestrians and horses.
One rocket took its course up
the sidewalk by the hotel, ran
under the feet of several la
dies, and finally exploded under hack
horse standing at the corner of Liber-
ty street. A street car was going up Liber-
ty at the time, and it looked for a moment
as though a collision between the fright
ened horse and the car was inevitable
Luckily, however, the driver was able to
swerve the horse to one side in the nick
of time.
Nobody was hurt by or because of the
rockets, but that there were no accidents
| is matter of good luck. There was no
policeman to be seen anywhere in the
| neigh borhood.

TRAVEL TO DARIEN.
Connections Will Be Made by a Hack
Line to Darlington.

Line to Darlington.
The new road of the Florida Central
and Peninsular is good thing for the
people of Darien, as they are enabled to
make much quicker trip to Savannah,
Jacksonville and other points than ever
before in the history of that place.
The Darien Short Line railroad will not
be used, however, in making the connec-
ton with the new road. This short rail-
road will continue to be used as sort of
tramway for carrying lumber and
naval stores until there springs up some
enterprise which will accomplish its COM
pletion.
The connection will be made with the
new road by a hack or omnibus line from
Darien, which will probably be es-
tablished in the near future by the Florida
Central and Peninsular Company With
this arrangement connections will be
made at Darlington on the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular, and parties leaving
Darien at o'clock in the evening will ar
rive in Savannah before midnight.
The proposed line will probably make
two trips day to and from Darien to
harrington, making connections both
with the trains to Jacksonville and
to Savannah. The bulk of the
travel from that point, however, Is
to Savannah. Parties from Darien can
leave there in the morning and arrive
here before noon, and can get back to
Darien the same day. This will be a
great convenience for those who wish to
come to Savannah for a few hours bust
ness, and getting here by noon they will
have from that time until 4:90 o'clock
p. m. in the city. The hack line will also
be a great convenience if established to
the large number of lum bermen who go
to Darien during the lumber season.

BANANAS By MILLIONS.
Savannah Imports This Year OYel
10000 Bunches.

Savannah Imports This Year over
10000 Bunches.
Savannah's fruit trade with the,Central
American ports has already assumed large
proportions. Until 1889 the cargoes of
bananas were brought here in schooners
carrying only from 5000 to 1000 punches,
and less than $1,000 punches were i'm
ported in a single year.
During the winter of 1889, Messrs. Kav-
anaugh & Brennan undertook to import
the fruit on a much larger scale, and
chartered a steamer with a capacity Of
$4,000 punches. The venture proved a
profitable one, and last year they put on
an additional steamer, importing over
900 punches of bananas that season.
A cargo is received every twenty days,
eight months in the year.
The condition OF this years crop is
especially fine, and large yield is looked
for.
The bananas brought here find a ready
market in the interior of the state and
western points. Choice fruit is now sell
ing at 70 cents to 81 30 a bunch.
A glance at the following statement of
receipts at Savannah will readily show
that the banana imports cut quite figure
in the commerce of Savannah 1889,
$4,000 punches; 1890, rs, 900 lunches; 1891,
70, 200; 1892 100, 900 lunches; 1893, lao, 00C
punches so far.
Bananas from Cuba, Honduras and
other parts have been brought here, but
the fruit from Bluefields is generally
considered to be better grade.

TWO HUNDRED FEET HIGH.
The Cathedral Spires Nearing Their
COMPLETION.

OOlpAob1Ou.
The work of completing the cathedral
towers is going forward rapidly, and the
iron frame work of the spires can now be
seen from every section of the city. The
gaunt iron framework now towers over 200
feet in air. The framework is nearly
completed, and the work of putting on
the slate covering will begin next week.
When completed the cathedral spires
will be the tallest of any church
spires in the state. Winton g. Burgess
are the contractors, aud Lane Brothers,
of Newark, o., have the sub-contract for
the iron frame work This is the same
firm which erected the iron work of the
spire upon the Independent Presbyterian
church.
The total hight of the spires from the
sidewalk when completed, will be about
228 feet, Just few feet higher than that
OF the Independent Presbyterian church.
The unfinished towers were 50 feet in
hight. Upon this has been built an ad-
dition of brick work and terra Gotta to
the hight of 3S feet in rectangular form.
This is all open work, and the space be-
tween the pillars is filed in with arches
OF brick and terra Gotta, which will give
very handsome effect when completed.
Above this triangular gables fifteen feet
in hight will be built. The iron work
constituting the frame of the spires rises
from the brick and terra Gotta work be-
low in Octagonal shape. 1t is in nine sec
tions, each section being complete in itself
with its own base, girders and braces.
These frames will be covered with slate
with copper rolls running down each of
the eight ridges on each spire.
The construction of the iron framework
is similar to that of the sJeeple of the In
dependent Presbyterian church. 1t will
be remembered that during the storm of
Aug. "a there was some apprehension
that this steeple would be blown down.
The builders, however, who were famn-
lar with its construction and knew the
immense weight of the structure and the
solid manner in which it was anchored,
laughed at these fears. This form of
construction for spires and steeples of
great hight has been adopted by
builders all over the country as the safest
and most satisfactory in every way.
The work upon the cathedral spires
will be pushed rapidly, and it is expected
that it will be completed in about two
months.
The cost Of the work is alone sufficient
to build very respectable church.
The contract for the spires is SIC, 500,
and this does not include the cost of the
clock and the chimes, which it is proposed
to put in.
