The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-12-03

Plod on, and each one, as before, will
chase
His favorite phantom; yet all these shall
leave
Their mirth and their employments, and
shall come
And make their bed with thee As the
long train
OF ages glide away, the sons of men
The youth in LIES green spring, and he
who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and
maid,
And the sweet babe, and the gray-headed
Shall, one by one. be gathered to thy
side
By those who In their turn shall follow
them.
So live that when thy summons come to
join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at
night,
scourged to his dungeon, but. sustained
and soothed
BY an umfaltering trust, approach thy
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.

CASES FOR SUPERIOR COURT.
December Term VIII Convene To-

December Term VIII Convene To-
morrow Morning.
The December term of the Superior
Court of the county will convene to-mor-
row morning at 10 o'clock the same hour
at which Judge Speer's gavel viii fall
in the big marble building across the
way. The grand jury of the Superior
Court will assemble when the court con-
venes in the morning and will be changed
by Judge Falligant.
After listening to the charge, the jury
will organize and will arrange the time
for considering the large number of indict-
ments that are to be presented to it by
the solicitor general. There are now in
jail three prisoners, who are awaiting in
dictment and trial for murder with which
crime they are charged by the verdict of
the coroner's Juries that investigated the
deaths Of their respective victims
These prisoners are W. S. Nell, Jake
Moultrie and Robert Jenkins, the first
white man and the last two negroes. Nell
shot and killed his brotherin-law, James
Buzbee, youth of Is, several months ago.
When the fatal shot was fired Nell stood
on the veranda of his house on Twelfth
street, ana the boy on the BIOuIlu OulSIue
the gate. The evidence given at the time
by all the eye Witnesses to the killing, in
Guiding the wife of Nell, showed it to be
without excuse or provocation, but the
wife has since told a different tale. in
which she takes the blame for the hOmi-
eide away from her husband and places it
on the imprudence and armed threats Of
her brother, the lad who was killed by
Nell
MOultrie shot a negro man in Yamacraw.
The dead man attempted to enter the
house in which Moultrie was living, for
the purpose of getting his child who also
lived there with his mother. Moultre
shot him almost before he crossed the
threshold of the door, and then started
for the open country. He was captured by
Policeman Jernigan, and a posse aftersan
exciting chase.
The last Of the three alleged murderers
Is Robert, or Harmon, Jenkins who is
charged with the murder of Joe Bird, in
a house, near the corner of Lumber and
Bay streets, about a month ago. The evil
dence against Jenkins is circumstantial,
as no one saw the fatal blow struck Bird
was found in his bed with his head split
open with an AK, and died a few days lat
err jenkins vigorously denies his guilt.

GETTING READY TO HELLO,
Georgia Telephone Company Push
ing Its Work.

ONOA stu AGAGPAlOAG company PuSh-
ing Its Work.
The installation of the GEORGIA TeIe-
phone and Telegraph Company's system
is satisfactorily progressing, notwith-
standing the unforeseen difficulties in OBJ
tanning the material which slightly inter
fered with the plans of the management
It is stated the completion of the sys-
tenn is now near at hand, and that it's
operation will be undertaken in a short
time
There has been no fear at any time it
is stated of dissatisfaction on the part of
the company'S subscribers because of the
delay. Knowing from the wide publicity
which has been given through the papers
of the scarcity of material at the supply
centers the subscribers are patiently
awaiting the completion of the new sys-
TEN. The management feels encouraged
by this eontentment. For business rea-
sons the number of subscribers has not
been given out, but the fact that poles and
wires are being extended through every
nook and corner of the thicIly settled dis
tricts of the city may be taken as an in
deX that there is some reason for dong
It, AS has been stated in the Morning
News the cables have been pulled" so to
speak, and the force of hands are now
erecting distributing poles, and making
preparations for connecting wires with
buildings. The rapid progress of this work
met the approval of the board of direct
ors, who recently went over the work in
company with President Bisbee and Cen
eral Manager Polk.
Samples of the new telephone have been
at the company's Office for some time, and
have been seen by a number of its pros
pective patrons. The telephones are of a
light color, different from anything of this
kind yet introduced in Savannah, and said
to be a decided Improvement in telephone
appliances. In connection with the wall
phones is a desk phone, which pleases
In the several cities 1t is now used.
Vice President Henry Blum of the Geor-
gia Company, thinks the construction of
the plant has progressed well considering
the unavoidable delay caused by the scare
ity of material. Others interested in the
new company say it will not be a great
while before everything will be arranged,
and ready to announce for business.
President Bisbee will probably remain in
Savannah to supervise in a general way
the completion Of the plant. As previous
ly stated in the Morning News, plans are
being laid for public reception when the
companys business Is inaugurated. Ex-
perts will be on hand to show and explain
the appliances at the central station, cor
nef Of Whitaker street and York street
lane. One of the main objects of the re-
ception will be 10 give the public generally
some knowledge of how to use the new
phone. Its simplicity, however viii not
make this a difficult task.

A Famous Poem.
Thanatopsis.


To him who in the love of Nature. holds
Communion with her visible forms, she
speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness and smile
And eloquence of beauty; and she glides
Into his darker musings with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness ere he is aware.
When thoughts
OF the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
OF the stern agony, and shroud, and pail,
And GREATNESS darkness, and the narrow
house.
Make thee to shudder and grow sick at
heart,
Go forth under the open sky, and list
To Natures teachings. while from all
Earth and her waters, and the depth Of
air
Comes still voice-Yet few days and
thee
The all beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold
ground,
Where thy pale form was laid with many
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image.
Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again;
And, lost each human trace. surrendering
W
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix forever with the elements
TO be brother to the insensih.e rock.
And to the sluggish clod which the rude
swain
Turns with his share and treads upon.
The oak
Shall send his roots abroad and nierca thv
mould.
Yet not to thine eternal resting place
Shalt thou retire alone; nor couldst thou
wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie
down
With patriarchs of the infant world-wlth
kings,
The powerful of the earth, the wise the
good
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past.
All in one mighty sepulcher. The hills
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the s1ln The
wales,
Stretching in pensive quietness between.
The venerable woods, rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green. and nour-
ed round all.
Old oceans gray and melancholy waste,
Are but the solemn decorations ell
OF the great tomb of man.
The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite hosts of heav-
en-,
Are shining on the sad abodes Of death
Through the still lapse of ages All that
tread
The globe are but handful of the tribes
That slumber in its bosom. Take The
wings
OF morning, and the Barcan desert pierce
or lose myself in the continuous woods
Where rolls the Oregon and hears no
sound
Save his own dashings; yet the dead are
there;
And millions in those solitudes. since first
The fight of years began, have laid them
down
In their last sleep; the dead reign there
alone.
So shalt thou rest; and what if thou with
draw
In silence from the living and no friend
Take note Of thy departure? All thar
