WHY DIR. BRYANT IS THERE.
Although at the White House, He Is
Not Attending the President.
From the New York World.

From the New York World
Washington, Sept 2-The fact that DR..
Joseph G. Bryant, of New York, returned
with the President from Gray Gables and
is now installed in the white house for an
indefinite period, has given rise to the
supposition that Mr.. Cleveland still feels
sufficiently apprehensive regarding the
possible effect Of the operation upon his
Iawbone to consider it unwise to dispense
wholly with the professional advice of his
physician
One who is in a position to know, said
to-day that while this inference was only
natural under the circumstances, it was
none the less erroneous. 1t was true, he
said, that DIR. Bryant was here in his pro-
feSslonal capacity, but not as an advisor
of the President, for the SIMPLE reason
that the President required no advice.
There was no apprehension whatever re-
gardlng the effect of the slight operation
referred to, and in all other respects the
Presidents health was fully restored.
The real purpose of DIR. Bryant in remain
ing at the white house for a few weeks
is to be within easy call for an interesting
domestic event which is expected to take
place during this month. He was Mr..
Cleveland's family physician at the time
OF the birth of Baby Ruth in New York,
and his presence at the white house was
considered particularly desirable at this
time. He came somewhat earlier than he
might have come otherwise because of
the possible effect upon Mrs. Cleveland
health Of the trying trip from Buzzard's
Bay. The use of Mr.. Benedict's yacht,
however, made the journey so easy that
she was hardly even tired.
Another reason for DR. Bryant's early
presence was the desire of both the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland that the impor-
tant event should if possible, take place
in the white house. 1t was feared that
the extremely sultry atmosphere of Wash
ington during September, which is the
most malarial and least healthful month
of the year, might make temporary
residence at Woodley advisable Fortu-
nately, however, the weather has been ex-
ceptionally cool and agreeable during the
past few days, and there is no present
reason to anticipate the necessity of
changing the original plan.
1t is stated that it has already been de-
cided that, in the event of the birth of
an heir, he will bear some other given
name than that of his father.

LEFT ALONE IN THE WORLD.
Five Little Ones TO Whom Home Is a
Thing Unknown.

Three Sheltered at the Savannah Hos
pital Until They Can be Taken Care
of, and Two at the Louisa Porter
Home--Father and Mother Follow
Each Other to the Grave and Leave
Their Family Homeless.
A sad case is reported at the Savannah
Hospital by DR.. c. H. Colding, physician
in charge. About three weeks ago a Mrs.
Sallie Bowers was admitted to the hos
pital for treatment, with her two children,
a girl of years and boy of years,
both of whom were sick She also
brought a baby girl weeks old with
her.
Mrs. Bowers had been living at Mr.. ].
p. Williams place on the Ogeechee river,
where her husband worked. Her husband
died of malarial fever about three weeks
before Mrs. Bowers was admitted to the
hospital, leaving her with five children,
four girls and boy, the oldest being only
8 years of age and the youngest baby of
6 weeks. Mrs. Bowers placed two of the
girls in the Louisa Porter home at Charl-
ton and Drayton streets and went to the
hospital with her two sick children and
baby.
she died week ago, just four weeks
after her husbands death, leaving her
five children alone and helpless in the
world Two of the girls are being taken
care of at the Louisa Porter Home. The
Oldest girl, the baby girl and the boy are
still at the hospital. DR.. Colding has
tried to secure their admission to the two
orphan asylums of the city, but these
institutions already have more children
than they are well able to care for in the
present state of their finances, and they
were compelled to refuse them.
DIR. COlding is anxious to secure their
adoption by some good family or families,
who will take proper care of them. The
children are bright and pretty The boy
is an especially fine little fellow The
case has excited the sympathy of all who
have been made acquainted with the
facts.
MIR. and Mrs. Bowers were from South
Carolina. They are said, by Mr.. Will
IONS overseer, to have been very indus
trious and respectable couple.

To speak of George Wilson in burnt
cork is waste of words, as his abilities
in that direction are too well-known to
need any comment. But this new venture
in white face comedy was the cause of
much speculation among bis many admir-
ers, and many were the conjectures as to
his success. Suffice it to say that all that
had been hoped for was fully realized.
The plot of ''Monte Carlo is in brief a
scene at the well-known gambling place,
the roulette table surrounded by the
many eager to make their fortunes, some
winning, while others lose their all.
George Wilson, who has been starring
with minstrel company, fails and is

MONA WINS TIE RACE.
Three Straight Heats From Ben Har-

Three Straight Heats From Ben Har-
rison at Thunderbolt-
Yesterday was all that could be desired
for racing.
a perfect day Of bright sunshine TEN
pered by a slight breeze brought out a
good crowd Of enthusiastic horsemen to
the Thunderbolt Driving Park to witness
the match race between Mona and Ben
Harrison. The betting before the race
was lively but in a small way.
The purse was for 800. At 3:45 o'clock
the starting judge tapped the bell for the
horses to appear for the first heat.
Tom Boam was first TO show up with
Ben Harrison. Soon after DR.. Jasme
brought the bay mare Mona on the track.
Both contestants we're in good form and
were hooked to bicycle sulkies.
After the horses were given a little
warming up the bell was again tapped
for them to score up for the first heat.
In assigning positions Ben Harrison was
given the pole and Mona the outside.
There was very little delay in getting a
send-otf for the first heat. The horses
were given a splendid start at the third
attempt.
When the word was given Ben Harri-
son Immediately was sent TO the front,
and he did some fine trotting TO the
quarter pole. At this point Mona began
to close on him and made the pace very
hot.
When they swung into the stretch in the
first half, the mare was at Ben's head.
Down tho home stretch they came and
the mare succeeded in carrying Ben to a
break From that point Mona had every
thing her own way. wining the heat by
several lengths. Time 5915.

for Mona. The horses again got a fine
start after very little scoring. Ben broke
on the first turn and ran several yards.
When he settled he was fully two lengths
in front. The mare trotted very steady
and was gaining on the horse at every
stride. AT the half mile pGIe she was at
his head and the two did somevery pretty
trotting on the home stretch.
From the half TO the three-quarter pole
was where Mona got in her work. She
carried Ben so fast that he left his feet
and ruined his chances for the heat Mona
came along easily and won as she pleased.
Time 1914
The third heat was also captured by
Mona. Ben gave her lively chase to the
three-quarter pole. From that point
Boam put the whip on Ben and run him
down the home stretch. DR.. Jasme was
determined not to be beaten He gave
Mona her head and the, little mare came
down the stretch to thewire and gave a
splendid exhibition Of trotting. She
won the heat by fully three lengths.
Time 1891.
Mona. having three heats to her credit,
was declared winner of the race. After
the decision was announced by the judges,
they requested the doctor to come up in
the judges stand. He was then given the
$500 in cash and was congratulated upon
his success.
Mona is owned by J. Ben Wilson of this
city. She is highly bred and has perfect
trotting gait. With a little age and care
full training she ought to make brilliant
reputatiOn on the turf

THE GLANCE SAFE AT HOME.

The yacht Glance, which was driven

to Thunderbolt by the revenue cutter
Boutwell,, Monday afternoon, as an

until repairs are made.
The Jib was torn into ribbons, the stays
of the bOwsprit wrenched off, and the
cut-water loosened little by the strain.
These injuries, with the loss of some of
the paint constitute the whole damage
done. She will be put in first-class order
at once, and 90 on a cruise with her

fhfnufs Done

Captain White Says the Sport is Gone
For Several Years, Unless Some
thinRis Done.
The destruction 10 the fish il the river,
as the result Of the recent cyclone, seems
widespread and complete.
Captain j. 2. White, who is an author
ity on fishing and who has inquired into
the situation SAYS the fish are all de-
s-r0yed for distance Of fifteen or six
teen miles mp the river. and that piles OF
dead fish can be seen lying in the marshes
and floating III the river as far mp as
Union creek and Savannah river bridge
The stencil of the dead fish on the banks,
in the marshes and floating ia the river
is terrible, and is bad for the health Of
the city as well asl the people living in
that section.
The cause Of the death Of the fish, Capt.
White says, is undoubtedly the salt water
which was blown up the river from the
sea by the wind. The fish which iuhabit
those waters are the black bass, both the
large and the small-mOuth varieties, the
blue Dream and all the different kinds of
perch. Those Lsh are not migratory, but
remain almost altogether in one locality
the year round. They go INTO the creeks
around TO spawn, and the next generation
seek the very creeks where they were
born for that purpose also.
For this reason Capt. White says there
will be little or no fishing in that section
of the river in four or FIVE years. as IL
win take a great deal of time for the
river there to become populated with the
fish which will move down from above
on account Of the fact that they do not
migrate at all, or very slowly. The cat
fish also were affected by the salt water
and many of them were found sickened
and dying, Reports of sickness among
negroes who caught these sickened fish
in the creeks and canals and eat them
have been very frequent.
OF course this will not affect the fish
ing industry seriously, as very few of the
fish which were shipped from here or put
on the market were caught in this way.
A great deal of the fresh water fish, how
ever which was sold in the market was
caught in the river, and this industry
viii be lost The sport derived from fish
ing, too, will be at an end for sometime, as
these waters in which the most Of the
fish were killed was the source of the most
of it.
Mr. White thinks the only remedy is
for the fish warden of the port to obtain
a lot of small fry and restock the creeks
and canals along the river north Of the
city. If these could be put out at once in
the creeks and rice field canals he thinks
it would be only a very short time before
everything is all right again and plenty of
fish would be at hand. Nothing has yet been
heard from the effects of salt water in
the Ogeechee, which is also a source of a
great deal of the fish which is brought to
Savannah, but as the salt water was also
blown up that river to a considerable dis
tauce, it is reasonable to suppose that the
non-migratory fresh water fish there
were also DESTROYED

A BIG SALE OF RosIN.
The Factors Sell Out Nearly All Their
Stock on the Wharves.

Inc Factors Sell Out n early All Their
Stock on the Wharves.
The naval stores factors sold yesterday
to the buyers 8, 500 barrels of high grade
rosins, this being the bulk of the product
which they controlled on the wharves.
-Four or five of the factors, it seems,
have been holding up the high grade
resins for some time IN order to raise the
price, but the storm helped to put a stop
to this bull movement. They have held
about 1900 barrels there for some time,
but the movement has been gradually
weakening and the storm was instru-
mental in putting stop to it.
Yesterday they sold these $500 bar
rels al a figure somewhat below the mar
ket price, but at the buyers own risk, so
far as losses were concerned, from the
storm. That is, the buyers of this rosin
are responsible for their share of the loss
which all have sustained on account of
the storm. Water white rosin was sold
at 1925, window glass at 50, and N at
50 10 The factors preferred to sell out
at these tgnres rather than wait the de-
termination of the difficulties which
have arisen with regard to the stock on
the wharves. and stand the loss which
also had not been determined.
The buyers, on the other hand, estimated
the loss would not go over One-half of one
per cent md did't think it would amount
to much. This large transaction will
facilitate the settlement Of the trouble
with regard TO the disposition of the rosin
on the wharves, as it puts nearly all the
rosin in the hands of the buyers and they
can easily settle the differences between
themselves
