ADELUCE FROM THE CLOUDS
The CITY Flooded and Considerable
Damaee Done.

1 The Rainfall the Heaviest in a Long
Time-Nearly Four and One-Quarter
Inches Of Rain Fell During the Day.
All Trains Delayed on Account Of
Weakened Traoks-The Damage to
the Crops.
The rainfall yesterday morning was one
Of the heaviest that Savannah has seen
in long time. The rain came down in
torrents. The foundations of several
houses were washed out and the streets on
the east and west sides of the city were
filed with gullies Nearly all the trains
were late last night on account of
weakened racks and shaky trestles and
bridges.
According to the record of the weather
observer 4. 20 inches fell, and during the
twenty-four hours ending at noon the
total rainfall was 4.35 inches, 80 inches
of which fell between o'clock a. m and
noon.
CELLARS FLOODED.
Many places in the city were flooded
In the lot upon which the government
building is to be built the water stood to
the depth of four feet or more, and some

THE CAR TRACKS UNDER WATER.
On Abercorn street between Waldbure
and New Houston the water washed
such a pile of sand on the Abercorn street
car track that the car was thrown of and
almost at right angles to the track Out
on the Electric line near Laural Grove
cemetery the water came up over the
steps on the cars and they were stopped
running for some minutes.
Other heavy rains reported by the
weather bureau are Fort Gaines 1.67
inches, Thomasville Las inches, Albany
l.OJ inches, Eastman LOS inches. Hardee-
vile, S. c., 60 inches, Young's Island, S.
G., 2.20 inches, Gainesville, Ga, $50

ingston, Ala, inches Macon, Miss, $50
inches, Meridian Miss, inches, Olro-
Iona, Miss, 2,60 inches and Townsville,
Ala, 220 inches. The average rainfall
for the ten stations in the Augusta dis
trict was SO of an inch.
DAMAGE TO THE CROPS.
These heavy rainfalls are doing no little
damage to the cotton crop. They are not
damaging it sofar as the quantity is con-
cerned, but they hurt its quality. The
damage to the crop by the storm has not
yet been accurately determined, but the
reports received from the country dis
tricts indicate that the only loss was in
the beating out of open cotton, and that it
amounted in all to about per cent. Con-
sidering the area of the storm the cotton
men here think this means an actual loss
of not more than 5000 bales.
The city's forces were at work last
night repairing the breaks in the sewers
in various parts of the citycaused by the
heavy flood of surface water in the
streets. Half a dozen breaks occurred in
various parts of the city.

IN FOURTH PLACE NOW.
Savannah Among the Leaders and
Forging Toward First Place.

To-day finds Savannah strong fourth
in the pennant race, and if the team
keeps up the pace it has set it will before
the week is ended occupy q still better
position.
To praise any one of the team would be
an injustice to the others AS a team
they have put up most excellent game in
all departments. Every man is working
for the interest of his team and each try
ing to play better ball than the other.
At last our pitchers are all in good
shape, and all three of them are pitching
winning ball. Connaughton's hand is
rapidly healing up and he will soon take
his turn behind the bat. Just as the team
stands Savannah has as strong team as
there is in the league and her chances for
winning the pennant are excellent,
BY winning two games from Mobile

Chattanooga, Charleston displaces Mem

JOHN JAMES INGALLS, OPINION.
He Thinks Happiness an Endow
ment Like Health or Good Looks.
From the New York Pr


Happiness is an endowment and not an
acquisition. 1t depends more upon tenn
permanent and disposition than upon en-
vironment, It is a state or condition OF
the mind, and not a commodity to be
bought or sold in the market A beggar
may be happier in his rags than king in
his purple Poverty Is no more incompat-
ible with happiness than wealth, and
the inquiry how TO be happy though poor,
conditions upon which happiness de-
ponds. Dives was not happy because he
was millionaire, nor Lazarus wretched
because he was pauper- There is quail
ity in the soul of man that is superior to
circumstances and that deies calamity
and misfortune
The man who is unhappy when he is
poor would be unhappy if he were rich,
and he who is happy in a palace in Paris
would be happy in a dugout on the from
tier of Dakota. There are many un-
happy rich men. Every heart knows its
own bitterness and its own joy. Not that
wealth and what it brings is not Desirable
books, travel leisure, comfort, the best
of food and raiment, agreeable compan-
ionship--but all these do not necessarily
bring happiness and may co-exist with the
deepest wretchedness, while adversely and
penury exile and privation are not in
compatible with the Hottest exultation Of
the soul.
More true joy Marcellus exiled feels
Than Caesar with Senate at his heels.

sheet iron, some brass covered with a
preparation that protects the FURNISH of
the metal, some copper, some nickel and
SO on 20 correspond with the decorations
Of the room. The ceilings will be archod
and relieved here and there with great
brass medallions. The partition walls
viii be composed OF metal grilles, eX-
tending from floor 20 ceiling, arranged
IN various designs, forming n vast
network through which the visitor can
see from the grand stairway at one end to
the great ball room at the opposite end
Rich tapestries will ordinarily cover the
metal griles and divide the interior thus
into fourteen apartments, eight of which
will be chambers and consist each Of a
suit OF four rooms-a sleeping room, dress
ing room, bath room and study. All the
heating lighting, ventilation and cooking
will be done by electricity. The servants
quarters, the kitchen, the machinery, the
laundry will all be in the basement The
water wheel and dynamos will be located
az the foot of the hill..a considerable dis
lance from the building. The sole en-
trance to the basement from without will
be at the foot of the hill through tun-
mel, so that no one from without or about
the house will see the entrance of serv-
ant, grocer, butcher or delivery wagon of
any kind
The structure itself will be surrounded
by broad walk, and outside of the walk
will be an artificial lake surrounding the
building and forming moat to be crossed
over movable drawbridge, thus placing
the house practically upon an island
This lake will be fed by water from
artesian wells already in operation and
pumped up by powerful pumps. The
water of the lake will also serve to run the
dynamos that furnish light, heat and
power for use in the building The floors
of the building will be of brass and alumni
mum grille work of ornamental design,
the intersticeS of a new Hungarian
cement which is said to become hard as
granite when set, and to admit of as high
and durable polish. The cement will be
OF various colors and so laid with the
metal grille as TO surpass in effect any
mosaic flooring in existence The winter
ing palace at St. Petersburg is now having
new floor laid of this material and on
similar lines. Everything about the
building is to be fireproof except, perhaps,
part of the furniture. Even She drap-
cries and tapestries will be dipped in a
solution of glycerine and ammonium
borate, which renders them permanently
uninfiammable.

THOUGHT HE WAS A mURDERER
A Mans First Debauch Gives Terri
BILE Shock to His Nerves.
From the Philadelphia Press.


New York, June 11.-Ofticer Flaherty,
of the Fifth precinct, late Saturday even
ing arrested a drunken man near the
ferry at the foot of Grand street. The
prisoner gave his name as Alfred Thomp-
son. About 3 O'Clock in the morning the
officer on watch heard cries coming from
the mans cell and thought that the pris-
ner had gone crazy, as he kept on crying:
81 did not murder any one. God knows
I'm innocent. What was l doingl l did
not kill him.
He continued in this way until about z
o'clock, when he Gained down. When he
was led up to the bar of the police court
he trembled violently and seemed dazed
Large drops stood on his brow as he said:
Judge, am not guilty. AS God is my
judge, I'm not guilty Never did il. o,
Judge, tell me that am not guilty"
The court officers wondered at the
man, as they had never known a case
where prisoner charged with intoxica-
ton seemed to think it so great a crime
Thompson seemed almost fainting from
fear as he chung to the railing in front of
the bar and piteously begged the justice
to let him go.
''You VIII have to sign bail bond to APP
pear here tomorrow morning. said the
Justice, and the prisoner, still weak and
tremblingwith fear, clinging to the railing,
made his way to the desk where the bond
was presented for him to sign.
His hand trembled as he took the pen,
and he said in voice that faltered: 'My
God, didn't do it, / know Pm not guilty.
Why Inever saw the man before" The
officers could not see what this had to do
do with case of intoxication Drops of
perspiration fell on the bail bond as the
prisoner leaned over it,. His eyes caught
the word "intoxicatione and he hoarsely
said: ''Then it isn't murder. Thank
God''
Thompson seemed almost overcome
with joy and when he was sufficiently re-
covered, said 1T was my first drunk l
dreamed that l had Killed man and
thought that was up for murder but it' S

Is ADA REHAN Bow-1EoeEDp
If Not, Why Do Women Giggle at the
Statue OF Which She Was the ModelP
rom the Chicago Inter Ocel

FTOHuhbH6 lntGF ocean.
It has been frequently noticed by men
who visited Montana's exhibit at the
worlds fair since the silver statue of
Justice was unveiled chat whenever there
was party of women without escorts
around the statue they invariably got to
laughing at great rate, as if they had
made some great discovery which was
just little too good to let the horrid men
into the secret of.
Yesterday, however, in an unguarded
moment, one of these unconscious critics
let the cat out of the bag. There were
four or five of them standing around the
statute gazing at her classic pose, when
one of them, who had been looking in
tently at the ankles of Justice for several
minutes, suddenly burst out with: 80,
girls, she's bow-legged- look
There was gathering of heads in one
place and craning Of necl1s and much
raising and lowering of eyes, as if trying
to mentally follow the direction taken by
Justices ankle where il was lost under
the folds of her toga. Then there was
unanimous nodd1ng of heads and a great
deal of giggling, as if the discovery con-
stituted one of the rarest Jokes ever
heard Of t EJ-
A careful survey of the lines of Justices

question that, taking the original de-
parture of the ankle from the foot upon
which it rests and extending it in
straight line, the upper end would leave
the main trunk of the statue somewhere
about three feet above the pedestal, and,
if further projected, would strike the roof
of the Mines building about 150 feet north
of the point Immediately over her head.
The only possible way for her ankle to
reach the main trunk of her body after
starting out in the direction it has is to
describe sort of horseshoe bend some
where about the knee Joint.

An alarm Yves turned in from box 8 this
morning at 80 O'Clock, caused by the
discovery of fire in the grain and fruit
store of Collins, Graysou & Co
The fremen promptly responded
and in a very short time
had the flames under control 1t was
burning some time before the alarm was
turned in and but forthe promptness of
firemen there would have been descruc-

entire inside of the building
seemed to be in flames 1t is impos-

any idea of the loss to Collins, Grayson

even approximate the Insurance.
