she must have had five or six thousands with
her, Tor there was over twenty thousand on
1he table when she called with what ap-
peared to be the last of her money, and it
came TO showdown. Keene had four
jacks Alcott four queens, Flash Kate four
Kings and Downing four aces
For an instant there was perfect silence.
Then Afcott and Keene made a movement
simultaneously, as if to seize the money but
Downing was quicker than they It was i'm
possible to say where he drew his revolver
from, but it was there in his right hand
While he coolly pulled in the money with
his left.
That was no square DEAL shouted AL

DISCOVER FIRE wORsHIPERS.
EexperienceS of Two Danish Officers
While Exploring Pamir Country.

Two Danish officers, NM. Oloufsen
and Philipsen, recently arrived at St.
Petersburg on their return from a
journey of exploration to the Pamir
country, where they reached places
hitherto untrodden by Europeans. They
brought back with them over 300 pho
tographs Of places they visited an1
types they met.
During their travels they met, among
others, tribes who are still fire wor-
shippers and totally uncivilized in their
mode of life. The men of these tribes.
and even their animals, are of very
small size, the bulls and cows being
no larger than European foal and the
donkeys about the size of a large dog.
and the sheep about as large as a
small poodle. The use of money is un-
known to them. and their only trade
consists in the bartering of furs. Wom-
en- are bought at the rate of five or
six cows or fifteen sheep apiece. These
natives are very timid and on the ap-
proach of strangers take flight.
MN. Philipsen and Oloufsen have Sc
cured numerous scientific collections
Which they intend presenting to the
natural history museum at Copenha-
gen, and have also made interesting
meteorological observations

SCREWS SUPPL HXTING PADDLES
Ocean Steamers That Use the LATTER
Are Regarded as the Safest.

A screw worked by a high-speed auadru-
pie or multiple expansion engine is undo United
ly the best means of propulsion for a mer-
chant steamer engaged in deep sea trade but
Tor shallow water navigation a side-wheeler is
preferable, for rs a propelling instrument the
paddle wheel is not inferior to the screw
while its action is quicker in stopping and
starting the hull and sidewheelers can back
on straight course, which cannot be ac-
complished by a screw steamer, says Casters
Magazine. Moreover, a side wheeler does not
sag at the stern when under way and this
is very important feature in its favor. The
screw is more liable to be disabled by pick
ing up a submerged log or by striking Some
obstruction and breaking two or more blades
This Is not an unusual occurrence
As regards the seaworthiness of side wheel
steamers, the immunity from disaster en-
ioyed by such lines as the Holyhead packets
the Isle Of Man steamers and the Queens
boro- Flushing boats should be sufficient to
prove their staunchness for channel service

CITY BREVITIES.

Rev. w. c. Schaeffer, pastor of the Luth-
eran Church of the Ascension, will speak
to young men at the Young Mems Chris
tian Association tomorrow afternoon at
5 o'clock. Dr. Schaeffer is well known to
the young men, and his address will be
heard by many
The twenty-fifth annual report of the
president and directors and reports of
standing commit tees of the Savannah Cot
ton Exchange, which were made at the
annual meeting of the exchange Nov L.
aas been published in pamphlet form The
pamphlet was compiled by Superintendent
j. p. Merrihew, and contains, besides the
regular report, a roll of officers and di-
rectors elected for the ensuing year, to-
gether with committees appointed and a
roll of membership. 1t aiso contains much
valuable statistical data concerning the
movement of the cotton crop for the last
three years, and other desirable informa-
ton.
Alfred Styles (colored), an employee of
the Ocean Steamship Company, was tried
before Justice Bevans yesterday for steal
ing hay and dismissed after having stood
two trials for practically the same thing
The man lives four miles from the city on
the Ogeechee road and was charged with
stealing the hay from a place belonging to
George Derst, a stoTekeeper on West Broad
and Naples streets 1t appeared Mr.
Derst had engaged negro named Alfred
Jordan to NOV and shock the hay for
half. This was done, but before it was
removed from the field, some one is said to
have hauled away several cart loads at
night. Suspicion seems to have centered
on Styles and after being tried and dis
charged before Justice Cleary for stealing
part of Jordan's half, was tried yesterday
before Justice Bevans for stealing Dersts
half. There was entirely too much sus-
picion and too little proof about the case
to justify holding the accused and he was
accordingly dismissed. The prosecutor
represented himself, and Attorney Thomas
A. Hill appeared for the defendant.

DIGGING SEWER bitches.
The Excavations on Randolph Street
of "a Filthy Character.

Work on the house drainage system will
begin in earnest next week. Mr.. Daniel
Delaney, leading member of the contract
ing firm, Is now in Chicago, arranging for
iron flush tanks and other things required
by the system. He Is expected in Savan-
nah Monday.
Mr.. Delaney spent some time in Pitts
burg looking after sewer pipe. He was
assured at the time he made his bid for
the work that there was no combine Of
the sewer pipe companies. When he went
to close the deal for sewer pipe, however,
he did not like the looks of things lie
had been offered two options, so much for
pipe delivered, or so much for pipe at the
factory. Ten per cent. of the card price
was the latter figure.
The price at the factory being so much
cheaper Mr. Delaney concluded that II
he could buy there and get the same con-
cessions from the railroads, as he under
stood the factories received, that 1t would
be to his advantage TO do so. He found
the representatives of the railway com
panies agreeable, but the factories did not
seem inclined to hold to their former prop
ositon.
A Morning News reporter paid a visit
yesterday to Randolph street, where the
sewerage force is at work. A trench about
400 feet long has been eXcavated. super
intendent S. II. Nelson, who has charge
of the work, was very c.ever in explaining
all matters connected with it, The first
piece of work undertaken by the contract
oIs is not pleasant job by any means.
Randolph street runs right over the bed
of the old Lamar canal, which was filed
in a number of years ago. and is nearly
all made ground AS a consequence the
soil is soft and shifty and very filthy.
Water was struck at a depth of two feet,
and it is necessary to keep the pumps 60
ing to keep the trench clear On account
of the yielding nature of the soil, it has
been necessary to shore up both sides of
the trench with sheet piing, and for the
to leave the sheet pilng in place when the
trench is filed in.
The stream of water which runs out of
the trench is as black and filthy as if 1t
came from the flthiest sewer in the city,
and the black sand thrown from the
trench has a very unpleasant odor. When
the excavation reaches the bluff, however,
it is expected to strike clean, dry sand.
The construction of the brick work for
the Randolph street sewer will probably
begin to-day, at the intersection with Bay
street. A large quantity of brick is al
ready on the ground, and the quality of
the brick appears to be first-class. The
sewer will consist of two rings of brick
laid on edge and only the best imported
cement will be used.
The force now a work is small, but Mr..
Nelson stated that he expected to largely
increase the force next week.

PROF. CARRoWAY's DRIVE.
His Performance Of Last Year Re-
peated-His Fents of HypnOtism.

Prof Carraway, the Georgia hypnotist,
repeated his remarkable performance Of
a year ago by driving a team of spirited
horses through the streets at a rafting
gait while blindfolded, yesterday. He was
accompanied by party of gentlemen who
had been invited to witness the perform
ance. In the party were Messrs. w. G..
Brewer, w. G. Altlive, J. w. Giltoucer,
f. A. Armand and c. \. L. Cunningham.
The party, acting as a committee. had
previously selected route, secured a key
to box at the postoffice and hidden it in
neighboring store, and also
addressed a letter to a business man In
the neighborhood of the postofflce and
placed it in the box, all unknown to Prof.
Carraway.
Shortly before u o'clock the party left
the theater in a carriage with Prof. Car
raWay and Mr.. Cunningham on the driv-
ers seat, the former having been securely
blindfolded. Prof. Carraway took the
reins and without the least hesitation pro-
ceeded to drive over the route selected
by the committee, from the theater to Lib
erty, Liberty to Abercorn, Abercorn to
Oglethorpe avenue, OglethOrpe avenue to
Bull, Bull to State, and on State to the
postoffice The key to the postoffice box
was found hidden under some goods in the
store of Haslam, Harvey & Co. Prof.
Carraway located the box without trouble,
unlocked it and taking out the
letter he found there, went
across the street, and delivered it to Mr..
A. }. Pursely of the Domestic Sewing Ma
chime Company. This competed the plan
outlined for him by the committee, the
members of which declared that Prof. Car
raway had done everything that they had
arranged for him to do.
Last night Prof. Carraway performed his
usual mind-reading feats. in the way of
finding hidden articles and delivering them
TO the parties selected by the committee
In addition, number of new feats were
performed, some of which seemed very
wonderful Prof Carraway will give two
performances to-day, at a matinee, and
again at night. He is assisted by his sis
ter, who is remarkably clever in her work
After the performance last night. a
young man was hypnotized and taken to
Marks shoe store. on Broughtop street
where he was put to bed in a window
Prof Carraway guaranteed that the young
man will remain there asleep for twen-
ty-four hours.
