NEW ORLEANS AND MADISON
RACES,
The Talent Close the Day With Four
Winners

The results of yesterdays races were in
contrast with the day before, as the track
favorites had a hard time of it, and the
majority suffered defeat The talent at
O'Delps Turf Exchange were far more
fortunate, however, than their friends at
the track, and landed four winners with
long odds on them. Both tracks were in
fine condition, and the very fast time
(1:14) was made in the handicap at New
Orleans. Another remarkable race was
the Carnival" stakes for 2-year-olds,
one-half mile, and was run in 49,. This Is
very fast for youngsters so early in the
season.

excellent, and the handicap at New Or
leans is very good race. The first quo
tations received at / 80 o'clock, city time,

GEN. eoRDoN's LECTURE.
Great Interest in His Last Days of
the ConfederacY.

the ConfederacY."
Gen. Gordon's lecture at the theater
Saturday night, under the auspices
of the Ladies' auxiliary of the In
dependent Presbyterian church, will be
an event of much enthusiastic interest.
= he subject, The Last Days of the Con
federaey," from an historic point of view.
IS an interesting one TO old and young
alike.
Gen. Gordon is one of Georgia's famous
men-a great soldier and statesman, and
one of its best orators. He is too we'll
known in Savannah to require an intro
ductlon. Every surviving veteran of the
Army of Northern Virginia remem-
bers him, and every person who
has read the history of the
principal events of the civil
war has hear of him. He was one of the
great soldiers who come up from civil life
and attain the highest distinction in
arms. He was wounded in battle eight
times, and laid down his sword only with
the final overthrow of the army with
which he had rendered such devoted and
heroic service. Every southern survivor
of the surrender at AppomattoX will re-
call the fact that he commanded the
advance on Sunday, April 9, the last day
when there was any fighting by Lees Old
Guard, and that fighting was done by the
troops on Gordon's front, and by titz
Lees cavalry.
Gen. Gordon bore great part in the
civil war and to-day after twenty-four
years of peace, a senator from Georgia in
the congress of the restored union, he
finds an opportunity to raise his voice and
to give further service to his old compan-
ions in arms.
Gen. Gordon is one of the most eloquent
orators in this country, and, with so
thrilling and heroic theme as the dar-
ing and devoted fight made by southern
men for independence, his oratory
will rise to its highest 4 and
noblest flights. He has delivered this
lecture in several cities of the north and
has won by his eloquence and his digni-
fed and lofty treatment of the subject
eulogistic comments from such journals
as the New York Tribune and the entire
press of Brooklyn. Gen. Gordon has
demonstrated TO the people of the north
who have heard him that southern hero
ism, southern prowess, and southern de-
vOtiOn are as much the heritage of the
American people as of the south, and
that they should arouse the national
pride no less than do the deeds and devo-
tion of the northern soldiers.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
who have engaged Gen. Gordon for this
lecture, propose to make it an event.
Their purpose is to raise money to COM
plete the Independent Presbyterian Sun
day school building, and they hope to
realize large amount by their efforts.
They certainly could offer no entertain
ment to the people of Savannah that
would be more appreciated than Gen
Gordon's lecture

AN INTERVENTION ALLOWED.
The Brush Electric Light 90. Wins
Its Case Against the Central.

Its Case Against the Central.
Arguments were heard before Judge
Speer yesterday on the intervention
of the Brush Electric Light and
Power Company in the suit of
Rowena Nj. Clarke against the Central
railroad which is bill for about 81 300
for supplying the departments of the
road with arc lights during Decem Der
1891, and January and February 1892, at
the time when the Richmond and Dan
vile railroad was in charge of the sys-
TEN.
The case came up some time ago, and
the Brush company, represented by MIR
A. Minis, was allowed to amend its bill of
exceptions to the masters report, which
was in favor of the Central, and fixed the
charges on the Richmond and Danville
Mr. I. M. Cunningham, Jr., appeared for
the Central railroad. After hearing ar
guments Judge Speer reversed the de-
cislon of the master, and held that both
the Central and the Richmond and Dan
vile were jointly liable for the amount of
the claim. The Central, however, will
have recourse against the Richmond and
Danville, and will file an intervention
claiming the amount for which it is held
liable IN the United States circuit court
at Richmond, Va.

Bad Way.

William Williams, better known as
Spell" big strapping mulatto, has
used his knife once too often. In the re-
corder's court yesterday morning he was
charged with attempting to kill a negro

Bunts told straight story, which was
corroborated, about the way "Speu" had
come to the store with a determination to
get satisfaction for some alleged wrong.
Bunts tried to avoid a scrap. but Spell
attacked and cut him. Bunts then began
hammering Spells head with a wash
board, which apparently had no effect.
A policeman was called and Spell was
taken to the barracks. Recorder Wilson

Mr.. r. w. Grub, of Darien, the we'll

come up on business in the United States

Mr.. Grubb says the building of the

miles west of the town. He says it is
only matter of very short time when
connection will be made with Darien
