During that month he remained at
Laran, as he called the place, superin-
tending the improvements that he had
projected. He had purchased the land
and fenced it with an impregnable
steel fence for several acres around
each entrance to the cave.
During his absence, Laport had gone
over the entire place with a subordi-
nate who appeared to be familiar with
every part of it. They had set out with
lanterns, ladders and other appliances
which were loaded upon couple of
Rocky mountain burros that Laport
found in the place.
Through the alley or corridor that
led from the rugged space at the en-
trance, Laport noticed that the coal
measures showed themselves on both
sides. The passage opened into a vast
room almost circular and with vault

erty of Mr.. Parsons. The idea is to clear
up a great deal of the brush on the is
land, plant flowers, lay out walks around
the pavilion and to make it as attractive
as possible for a nearby summer resort.
The island, as 1t is, is sought by a great
many Savannahians who lookout for
cool place in the hot summer months, and
with the additions that will be made and
the daily service that will be put on, IL is
expected to make it much more attractive

Mr.. Hartman says the company will
charter a steamer to take the passengers
from Thunderbolt to the island, and two
trips going and coming will be made every
gay. 1t is expected to hare all arrange
ments for the regular service completed
by the latter part of April, or May 1, 1895.

Wrenn OF Atlanta as general passenger

to look upon the report as untrue. Traffic
Manager Owens is in New York and he is
the only Savannah official in position to
speak positively about the matter. Su-
perintendent Fleming said that the special
in the Morning. News was the only infor-
nation he had on the subject. He had
heard nothing of any intention upon the
part of Mr.. Plant to create any such Office
as manager of passenger traffic, and
seemed to regard 1t as doubtful that It
had been done, though he did not say so.
Col Wrenn is a hustler" said Capt.
Fleming, land I have no doubt that he
would prove valuable acquisition to the
Plant system"

Amorita was presented at the academy

The favorable impression made on its
first appearance was deepened- The com
pany is undoubtedly magnificent. The So
loists all have grand voices, and the cho-
rus is splendid. The costumes are mar
vel of beauty, in advance of any ever
seen on the academy stage. Manager
Clarke can truly congratulate himself
that on this occasion at least the eXpecta-
IONS raised by preliminary promises have
been amply fulfilled. Amorita went with
dash and swing and smoothness which
completely captured the audience, and
produced tremendous applause. Miss Edith
Mason has a lovely soprano voice, has
pleasant appearance and is good actress.
Sne took the title role last night with
much acceptance. Bessie F'airbairn, Fanny
Myers and Polly Marriott also gave every
satisfaction. Sylvan Langlois has grand
baritone voice, and he is good actor as
well. Mr.. Persse's beautiful tenor makes
everything he attempts thoroughly pleas
ant. His rendering of Dear Heart" was
vociferously encored. Stanley Felch was
