two in company.

but decidedly, has saved US from a posi-
tive calamity. Now, Murchison, 1 want
nothing said of this-On account of the
newspapers. The court has been entered
from the alley. We have Everett to
thank for its timely discovery. Lock the
store house door and keep a sharp lookout
during the night. 1 want necessary re-
pairs made without attracting the en-
ployes attention; and 1 will be here my
self very early in the morning. Good
night"
Then the two departed from the Trust
and Security Bank-but not to the great
detective agency presided over by Allan
Dingleton.
And yet it is often written and said:
Corporations have no souls and bankers
are without hearts!
Their way led along West street to an
open pier. Here, one by one, the banker
dropped the tiny parcels into the swiftly
outgoing tide.
That's an end of all that. John!" he
said heartily, while great tears coursed
their way down his companions haggard
face.
In a half hour more they were inside
John Everett's home.
Ellen" said the banker, taking the
hand which had once rested differently in
his own, Il found John down there at
the bank, working after hours. It's all
right. 1t will break him down. He's all
tagged out. He must have an entire
change at once. I've a little place, only
ten miles out, with a lovely cottage and
a few acres of GROUNDING earthly use to

good. Now, that place is John Everett's

rest of the little Everetts here, for the re-
painder of your natural lives! Well, well,
well!-my dinner'n be cold, if l don't
hurry home right away. God bless you
all!-and good-night!'
Was it a wonder that the astounded
family should find its father and husband
half fainting and helpless from overwork
and sudden joy? Was it a wonder that,
when they had all got their breaths again,
the widest and most delirous whoop ever
known in that quarter of the great city
went up within the Everett tenement in
Eighth street?
And was it still a wonder. when the
banker was finally seated at his own
table surrounded by his own happy
family, that his wife, after looking per-
pleXedly and many times upon the solemn
radiance of his noble face, should ex-
claim to the accompaniment of merry
laughter all about the table:

WOMEN AS BARRIERS.
Increasing in Number, for in Some
Ways They Excel Men.
From the Chicago Record


The proprietor of one of the shops
said: There are a number of woman
BARRIERS scattered around Chicago, and l
firmly believe the time is coming when
there will be many more. The women
don't drink as the men do. I dare say
it isn't a pleasant thing to sit in a chair
and be shaved by a man whose hand
trembles so that he can hardly hold the
razor Some of my customers tell me
that they stopped going to the shops run
by men because so many of the BARRIERS
had been drinking liquor or smoking Gig
arettes There's another thing, a woman
keeps shop cleaner than any man would.
Everything must be spic and span in this
shop. I couldn't work if things were
tossed around as l have seen them in so
many places. Nearly every shop, except
the larger ones downtown, has a regular
crowd of loafers hanging around 1t, and
the place is full of smoke most of the
time. There is nothing attractive about
it. When the women own the shops
there will be no smoke and no Ioafers,
but everything will be kept clean and
cheerful"
DO you think the women can do the
work as well as menu
Better; because they are always at
tentive to business and are never made
In cutting hair, for instance, a woman
will display better taste than a man. be-
cause she seems to know by a woman's
instinct what kind of a cut looks best
for a head of a certain shape There's
great knack in cutting hair so as to
get the best possible effect, and the aver

more than he can understand trimming

ports who have studied hair-Cutting, but
most of the men BARRIERS have no idea
of doing it in an artistic way"

woman of experience. I never could see
that there was any humiliation in shaving

THE DANGEROUS "THRAsHER.,
Disastrous Encounter OF Schooner
With a Swordfsh.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The sword of a thrasher fish, more COM
monty known as swordfsh, was found
sticking in the bottom Of the schooner
Isaac H. Tillyer, as she lay in dry-dock
at Cooper's Point, Camden, on Wednos-
day. While the Tillyer was on her last
voyage to Newburyport, she suddenly
sprung a leak off Gay Head, which neces-
Stated pumping at the rate of 500 strokes
per hour. Upon her arrival at Newbury-
port the leak suddenly ceased. Lewis II
Babcock, the owner, not deeming it safe
to load the schooner in that uncertain
condition, ordered her home in ballast.
Arriving here, she was placed in drv-
dock at Coopers Point, by order Of Capt
Barrett. The bottom plank next the gar
board seven feet abaft the stern was
found crushed through by the sword Of a
big thrasher fish. The sword had appar-
emily been snapped off short at the snoui

the inside ceiling and fractured the out
side planking, which is of the best white

sword out OF the schooncr's bottom great
care had to be observed in order to save
the whole plank. The sword is on exhl-
bition at the Office Of the Admiralty sur

IN a long time Its execution shows ii was

The robbers understood their
business. and il is likely that
their plans of escape were as well
laid as was that of the robbery.
There were no Sayannahiansp on the train

passengers aboard who were to take the
New ork steamer. The steamer was
held a short time after sailing time in or
der that they could catch it.
ENGINEER JENKINS FOLLOWED THEM.
A Waycross dispatch to the MORNING
News tells briefly Engineer Jenkins story
of the affair. 1t seems that the parties
are having a hard time striking the rob-
bers' trail. Engineer jenkins story is to
bonneville. several men boarded the en-
CINE and tender and with drawn pistols,
took charge. They compelled him to stop
the train about mile and half from the
station, and after firing a number of shots
under and around the train, proceeded
to blow open the express car with dyna-
mite. Some time after the robbers left
Engineer Jenkins followed them on foot
and found the engine fourteen miles down
the road. The latest report is that the
posse is in hot pursuit after the robbers
and that the trail leads in the direction
of bonneville. j. Cronin has returned to
Waycross with several dogs, which could
not strike the trail
FRUITLEss SEARCH.
The scouting parties have, from all &C
counts, met with small success. A dis
patch from Argyle, where the search
began, says:
Searching parties have been out all day
and have just returned. They secured
the woods for miles around with three
packs of blood hounds and failed to find a
trail that would aid them They have
turned their attention TO other clues.

IT WAS OBJECTED TO.

Engineer Burnett Did Not Like the
Removal OF Dirt to South Broad.
The removal of the sand from the lot on
which the new government building is to
be located to points on South Broad street
has stirred up considerable comment.
Mr.. r. 5. Burnett, assistant engineer in
Capt Q. NJ. Carter's office, who lives
near the corner of South Broad and A ber-
corn streets, was under the impression
that placing of the sand there would be
dangerous to the health of those who
live in the neiEbborhood. Thinking it
came under the department of the health
officer, he went to the Office of DIR. Brun-
ner and made some strong statements as
to what he would do in case it produced
sickness in his family,
Some warm words followed between
Mr.. Burnett and DR.. Drummer, and, seem
ing to have obtained 10 satisfaction from
that source. he approached Acting Mayor
Mills, with whom he was as pronounced
in his statements as he had been with the
health officer. The dispute was quite a
warm one, and ended abruptly.
DR.. Drummer says the sand that is being
removed is clean and pure, and that there
is no danger whatever from it. He in
spects it every day to see that nothing
but the clear sand is carried TO be dumped
on any Of the streets

There are race horses which are known
TO run better in the mud than on a good
track, and there may he base ball players
who can play better ball on wet dia-
mond than on dry one. The Savannah
base ball TEEN seems TO be composed of
the latter kind. Monday they defeated
Atlanta on wet grounds and yesterday
they repeated the dose in a drilling rain.
The game was a comedy in nine acts
presented by McCloskey and Sullivan be-
fore a small but well pleased audience.
The heavy rain of the morning left the
grounds in a very bad condition, and good
playing was impossible. The entire game,
with the exception of the last two innings,
was played in rain.
Duke Oficiated with the ball for the
locals, and pitched an excellent game. He
held the visitors down to five hits, two of
which were scratches Tub WEIGH was

lost none of his old-time agility as a back

They batted him for fourteen hits, with a
total Of twenty-four bases.
Manager Teddy Sullivan played right
field for the visitors, and his antics on
field were enjoyed more by the crowd
than the game itself was.
Savannah scored two runs in the first
inning on Larocque's base on balls, Welch's
and McCloskey's hits.
The visitors got two runs in the second
inning on Lewee's base on an error, Cop
pedge's scratch hit and Sullivan's hit,
ana two more in the third on Bolan being

pedge's base on balls.
The locals lit onto Conover in the fourth
inning, and assisted by the pitchers

more in the seventh, and one in the ninth,

retired in one, two, three order in the

after discussing the situation for
the league to continue the
present schedule, and if the
eastern Savannah, Charleston and

not play their games among themselves
as scheduled for the next week they
would forfeit their franchises. In such
event it will leave the western clubs
Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans and

they are willing to do. There

The season was divided into two series,
the first closing to-day. Memphis was
awarded the first championship. The
second series begins tomorrow. The
league decided that the Charleston club
could not transfer to Atlanta, for the
reason that no application had been made
to the league, whose duty it is to act upon
such matters. 1t is understood that At

MUST OPEN THE STREETS.
Property Owners Will Not Pay Their
Taxes Until That Is Done.

The city council met yesterday after
noon in committee of the whole to discuss
the question of taxation of property in
the southeastern section of the city, and
in connection with the opening of the
streets in that section across the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway
Alderman Charlton, chairman of the
committee on opening streets, reported
that he had not yet received the reply of
the Plant system officials to the compro-
mise agreed upon between himself and
Mr. Erwin, providing for the opening of
certain streets across the railroads right
OF way, which plan has already been pub
lished in the MORNING News
Mr. Charlton said he dld not expect a
reply from Mr.. Erwin until about three
weeks hence. AS the city attorneys ad-
vised the council that nothing can be
done to enforce taxation upon the pro-
perty owners of the annexed districts
until something has been accomplished
in the way of opening streets through
that section, it is first necessary to COM
plete the arrangement with the Plant
system before the property owners can be
compelled to pay taxes to the city. This
being the situation, further consideration
Of the subject was postponed until def

Plant system as to what it proposes to

SURVEYOR OF THE PORT.
What the Office is at a Seaport
Town.

Since the discussion has arisen with re-
gard to the establishment of the Office
of surveyor of the port there has been
some inquiry as to what the Office is and
why it was abolished.
The surveyor of the port in seaport
town has charge of the day and night in
spectors, the weighers and gaugers, or, in
other words, the entire outside force of
the custom house. David Porter was the
last surveyor of the port in Savannah,
Just before the office was abolished in
1878. The fact that the outside force
of the custom house here con-
sisted then of only three in
spectors seemed to make the Office
an unnecessary one, and it was doneaway
with. The inspectors were put in charge
of the collector, and the fees were trans
ferred to him. The regular salary of the
office was $3.50 year, and the surveyor
also received fees amounting to about $500
additional. These fees now 20 to the col
lector, but the salary of $50 is not paid
him.
The surveyor of the port in an inland
town takes the place of the collector of
the port at seaport town.
