SEYMOUR IN A QUANDARY.
Doesn't Know whether Tie L. Fire
man or Not.

Doesn't Know whether Tie Il a Fire
man or Not.
Edward j. Seymour. who has FOR some
time filled the position or assistant fore
man OF engine company No /. on Brough-
ton street. is in a quandary az 10 whether
ne Is stiil n member OF the FIRE depart
ment or not. Sept. Seymour was tried
by Mayor Myers and the Fire Committee
on charges OF characterization preferred
by Superintendent Mcguire. the result be-
ing that he was suspended for thirty days
without pay and was fined s. The action
OF the Mayor was communicated TO sey-
mour In writing by the superintendent on
the same day
Seymour has since been under suspen-
sion. Il seems that Superintendent Ma
guire did not accept this finding as final,
however, and has since taken up the mat
ter with the Mayor and Fire Committee.
As a result the superintendent reported TO
Acting Mayor Tiedeman few days since
that the Fire Committee approved hts rec
concentration for the discharge OF Sey-
mour from the department. The acting
mayor gave his verbal approval OF this
nndIng and on Wednesday Seymour re-
ceived n letter from Superintendent Ma
guire informing him that he was directed
by Hts Honor. the Mayor TO notify him
OF his discharge from the fire department
on the recommendation OF the superin-
tondent approved by the Fire Committee.
This was somewhat OF a surprise to sey-
snour. as he had not been called upon To
face any additional charges. ana he AZ
cordingly took the matter up with the
acting Mayor. Seymour's statement 81
the case put che matter In new hght
with Mr. Tiedemau. and he accordingly
gave Seymour letter 60 the superintend-
ent. notifying him that his verbal decision
lr the matter was rcsciided, and that
seymour's former status was restored.
This letter was delivered by Seymour TO
the superintendent IN person.
This leaves a peculiar state OF affairs.
Supt. Mcguire holds that man. who has
been formally discharged from the hre
department. cannot become mem
Der again until formally reap
pointed. The acting Mayor holds
that his order resembling his YER
bal decision IN the matter, restores sey-
mours status quo as a suspended mem
Der of the FIRE department. Seymour
doesn't know where he Is at" Mayor
Myers. who IL expected TO return in a
day or two win be called upon to solve
the problem.

and others. lie reports the Phiiadelphlans
not only interested. but even enthusiasts
on the subject OF the Savannah line. II
If something they have been trying for
for a long time. and realizing that should
this prove a failure, Il would probably be-
their last chance for steamship connec-
ton with this port. they are determined
90 make the most Of IL. With this idea
in view they viii endeavor 10 secure as
large a business as possible for che new

Mr.. Carolan also reports the RAILROADS
at this end of the line as favorably dis

Both vessels named have been recently
overhauled and put IN first-class condi-
ton for both freight and passenger traf-
nc. The Merchants and Miners Com
peny r. disposed to favor the new line
and additional vessels win b. put on as
the business requires.
Since the announcement wac made that
the line was 10 be established, the mer-
chants and manufacturers Of PHILADELPHIA
have shown their appreciation OF Il by
promising it a large amount OF freight.
and the hrst trip is expected TO be a very
successful one.
In the FIRST announcement OF the line q

NEED 4 LANDING PLACE.
HutchInson's Island Employees Arc
Not Well Provided.

Not Wen Provided.
Now that there are so many people
employed on Huschinson's Island" said
Mr.. r. $. salas yesterday. there should
be greater convenience accorded them for
embarklng from the city for their work
and landing upon their return from the
island at evening From East Broad
street 90 West Broad street there is not
public dock. and this should be corrected"
Mr.. salas went on TO say that the Ex-
change dock has been taken up-by the
business OF the seaboard Air Line, TO
which landing concessions were made by
the city, and nothing like adequate room
for small boats Is furnished there. The
landing Is difficult as there Is always a
rush about the time the employees are
leaving for and returning from the island.
In the winter. when the steps Will be slip
perry with ice. the trouble VIII be more
pronounced. and u S. feared there will
be many accidents unless the precaution
OF additional facilities Is adopted.
IL IS Mr.. salas opinion that the Whita-
ker street dock. which Is owned by the city
and which was formerly public dock
should be again used for the public conve-
ntence. He says the slip Is now leased
bringing the clty 500 year. "A sum that

"The sorrows or satan" Before
Good Audience.
'The Sorrows of.satan" was presented
al the Theater last night TO a good audi
cnce. The play Is adapted and DRAMATIC
ed from Marie Corcllrs novel Il has not
been learned who did the adapting. but it
could not have been an experienced
dramatist. In fact. II is surprising that
so particular a young woman as Miss
CorellI would permit the play to be put
on In its present crudeness.
II Is a queer weird sort Of play aud one
that does not leave pleasant thoughts in
its train. u attempts to point a moral as
well as adorn a tale but u succeeds In
doing neither. II shows the crust OF so
clety in a vague. faint manner that LACKS
anesse in the telling The dialogue IS
bright in spots, but the brilliant and epi-
grammatic style OF Miss Corell Is barely
discernible
The main character IN che play Is Prince
Luclo Rimanez-who Is the Prince or
Darkness in human form. lie Is pictured
as q sorrowful and repentant being, help
ful to those who are weak and wrongful
against those who deal In wickedness and
vice.
The scenery is good and appropriate and
the eoupanv rs capabie-more capable
