Y. M. @. A. NOTES.
The Bible Glasses, Sunday Meetings,
and the Excursion To-day.

The midsummer work of the Young
Mems Christian Association is in fine
condition. The rooms continue popular,
and the interest is in keeping with the
attendance.
The,Bible class is conducted every
Wednesday night. 1t was thought by
some that it would be better to adjourn
the class until October, but it was unani-
mously decided to continue the meetings.
This class is conducted by the general
secretary, and the line of study is taken
from the life of Christ. The study is
taken up in conversational manner, and
proves very interesting to those who
attend
The change of time for the Sunday
afternoon meeting has proven successful,
as the attendance is larger than it has
been for the past month or two. A spec
ial feature of the meeting tomorrow will
be the talk by Rev. w. H. Hudson,
recent graduate of Princeton Seminary.
Mr.. Hudson will go out under the Foreign
Mission Board of the Presbyterian
church to labor in China. He is native
of GrcenVille, s. c., and is enthusiastic in
his calling All are invited to attend
this service from 3:45 to APO Sunday
afternoon. A cool room is guaranteed
and the service will prove of interest to
all who come out.
A membership thermometer has been
placed in the reception room and much
interest is manifested in its makeup and
object. Physical Director Goodridge is
the manufacturer and he can give all the
points necessary.
The intention is to stimulate old men,
bers to greater activity in securing new
members, hoping to be able to register up
to the 500 mark by January 1894.
The association anticipates a good time
at Warsaw to-day. The steamer Camusi
will make two trips, morning and after
noon from Thundcrbolt, at 10 q. m, and
3 p. m. The games will be open to all
members and large number have signi-
fed their intention Of participating.
Since Mr.. GoOdridge has returned from
his vacation, classes have been resumed
on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
These Glasses will be held in the gymna-
stun as usual.
The entertainment committee will have
a complete line of entertainments ar
ranged in short while, and the public
viii be notified of the list of talent en-
gagged for the season.

CITY BREVITIES.

All the postofice boxes in the city are
to be reprinted bright vermilion. The
work will probably begin to-day.
The River improvement force is still
clearing off the underbrush at the Isle of
Hope. The material is being used for
mattresses" for the jetties.
1t is rumored that the North Carolinians
in the city, of whom there is quite a num-
Der, will shortly form themselves into a
society with a view to holding yearly
banquet and reunion.
Mr. Adam Kessel, the baker, has ten
dered an excursion to the orphans of the
Savannah Female Orphan Asylum. The
excursion will be to Warsaw Island. The
date of it has not yet been fixed.
The river men have changed the name
of the Upper Flats channel to Garter
Alley.n At this point long line of re-
tanning walls has been built on either
side, so as to narrow the river aud deepen
the channel.
Mrs. Bingham is having the walls and
servants house torn way from the back
of her residence on Bull and Liberty
streets in order to make an addition on
the Bull street side. The house will be
made double one, the new building to
front on Bull street.
The roof of the Independent Sunday
school building is nearly finished. The
building as it is now gives pretty fair
idea how it will look when finished. The
exterior walls will be plastered and
marked in imitation of stone, to resem-
BILE as nearly as possible the church build

A HITCH IN THE TRANSFER.
Gov. Flower Wants More Proof of the
De Soto Robbery.

There is hitch in the negotiations for
the return here of the De Soto diamond
robbers arrested in New York a couple
of weeks ago. Gov. Flower refused to
honor Gov. Northen's requisition, it is
stated, because the proof was not sufi-
Gent TO connect the parties under arrest
with the robbery, and he required more
positive proof before surrendering the
prisoners to detective Hanley, who went
on to bring them to Savannah.
The warrant was returned to Solicitor
General Fraser. Detective Bossell
through whose efforts the alleged rob
bers were tracked to New York and ar
rested, and the solicitor general held a
conference, the result of which the solic-
itor said was that all the proof at hand
had been submitted. The three negroes
and the white house servant were ar
rested upon the information given by
Guy Winn, a negro now in jail for bur
glary.
Mr.. Powers of the De Soto was asked
if he had any proof of the guilt of the
parties but was unable to give anything
positive. The only evidence here that
the prisoners were connected with the
robbery is the story of the negro VIM
Under these circumstances it is doubtful
If they are ever brought back.

THE FLORIDA NORTHERN.
Some Delay in the Work of Building
the Road.

the Road.
The Florida Northern, or, as it is better
known, the South Bound, railroads ex-
tension, will be i1oned from the junction
at the crossing of the Central railroad to
the OPeechee river by the first of Au-
gust
The entire line to its connection with
the Florida Central and Peninsular rail
road at Harris Road, Fla, win be COM
pleted, il is said. by the first of NOvem-
Der. though parties who are posted about
railroad building say that unless the
work is pushed more theoretically it will
be January or February before trains are
running over it.
The slow progress of the work of late
is due largely to the fac that there has
been some delay in the hands getting
their money, and they are working very
reluctantly under the circumstances.
This is no fault of the builders of the
road nor of the contractors, but of the
sub-contractors. The money has been
Forthcoming and it has been paid
promptly to the sub-cOntractors, but in
many instances they have delayed in
paying off their men, and in one or two
cases they have left their work
To relieve this difficulty the head con-
tractors have recently taken charge of
the work and the full force of hands is
being kept employed. Since this change
was made everything is moving along all
right, and the proba bility is that the
work will be finished somewhere very
near contract time

MUST PUT UP THE PIPES.
The City Enforcing the Law for House
Drain Ventilation.


Drain Ventilation.
The city sanitary inspectors have been
giving their attention recently to houses
with improper sewer conductors and
without proper ventilator pipes. The
ordinances require that all houses whose
closets are connected with sewer shall
have a metallic ventilating pipe of an area
prOportioned to the waste pipe or drain,
extending at It's highest point to the roof
of the house, so that all exhalations from
the waste pipe, or drain, may escape into
the open air above the house.
There are numbers of houses in the
city, many of them modern houses, too,
which have no ventilatOr pipes at all, and
a great many have pipes which end just
at the connection with the closet or bath
discharge so that the poisonous gases
from the sewer and drain are carried
into the house and through the windows
of adjoining houses.
In numbers of instances where the ven
tilator is carried to the roof, the upper
part Of the pipe is barely connected with
the lower part, so that the gases escape
through the defective connection, and are
thus carried into the house.
The city has gone so far towards RENE
dying defective plumbing as to enforce
the law requiring properly constructed
ventilator pipes. The question of a
plumbing inspector is just where it has
been for some time. The council has
taken no action further than to refer the
proposition TO q committee

Savannah cyclers are interested in the
charges against j. S, Johnson, who train
ed here and rode in the May Week meet
Chairman Raymond, of the l.. a. w. rae
ing board is authority for the statement
that the reports circulated that johnson
endCaVored to bluff the committee into
raising his suspension, and that he threat
ened to Join the n. @. A. unless such ac-
tion was taken Immediately, were mis-
statements.
Mr. Raymond states that so far from
threatening the board, Johnson stated
that whatever their decision might be he
would not ride as a professional unless he
was actually expelled from the L. A.
w, no matter how much time might be
taken in the investigation, during
which he would remain suspended.
He also submitted signed affidav-
it's from the manufacturers, whose
wheel he has been riding, to
the effect that he had not at any time re-
ceived money from them, a similarly
signed statement from the president of
the Syracuse Athletic Club, stating that
the club had never paid anything but ac-
tual racing expenses, and showed can
celed checks from his mother given for
incidentals and travelling expenses.

HIS SKULL SAVED HIM.
A Bullet Fired Into a Negroes Head
Only Makes a Slight Wound.

James Battey tried to commit murder
yesterday afternoon at Farm and Mar
garet streets, and the only thing which
saved him from q crime which would
most likely have landed him on the gal
lows, was the hardness OF his victim s
skull.
Battey gotin a dispute about some tri-
fling matter with Richard johnson, and
without word of warning pnlled re-
volver and fired at the man. The bullet
penetrated his foreheaed above the nose
and plowed along under the scalp about
two inches, coming out at the back
johnson dropped, yelling that he was
killed and Battey, thinkingsthe shot had
been fatal, took TO his heels and made his
escape for the time being.
Several people ran to the writing ne
gro expecting to find him horribly wound
ed on account of the big flow of blood
which came from the hole in his head,
but to their surprise they discovered that
it amounted to little, Johnson was shown
that he was only slightly hurt, and went
off to seek medical attention. The case
was reported TO Detective Bossell, and he
captured Battey in Yamacraw last night
and locked him up on n charge of assault
with intent to murder

TIE HEAT SEVERELY FELT.
The Temperature Not High But The
Humidity Does II.


Humidity Does It.
Yesterday was another scorching day.
The temperature was not so high, but the
humidity was. and that made the heat
more severely felt Day before yesterday
the humidity was 90 per cent. Yester-
day il was 50 per cent. A
good many people were Of the
opinion that the day was the hottest
Of the season, and it would have taken a
great deal Of argument TO make them
believe otherwise.
THAT weather bureau thermometer is
all wrong, remarked Bay street man
when he saw 10 was only q couple of de-
grees above 30 during the hottest part OF
the afternoon. A good many 9th
ers thought the same way but
Observer Smyth said that the
thermometer is all right. There's moth
ing wrong at all with IT," he SAID, Its
only because of the humidity that people
think it's hot It's not always on the hot
test days that the heat is most severely
felt. tits on the muggy days that old Sol
gets in his best ticks"
There was a general falling off in tenn
perature Throughout the country yester-
day. The hottest places in the south
were Raleigh and Charlotte n. c., which
reported 100 degrees The hottest places IN
the Savannah district ofthe weatherser
vice were Americas, Cordele, Eastman and
Millen, each Of which reported 9S degrees.
Gainesville, Fla. reported SO degrees.
Then there was drop to 90 degrees. At
Townsville it was down to Sc degrees.
There was drop Of A. to g. in temper
allure in East Tennessee, in Middle Ala
bama and Western Mississippi. The
greatest fall was % degrees in few
hours. There was heavy rain in East
Tennessee.
The storm which was centered night
before last in Western Kansas has moved
northeast and last night was at Okla
homa, but is decreasing in energy so that
its effect will not be much felt here.
The indications last night pointed to
partly cloudy weather to-day, with show
