Mormon Missionaries at Work.
Fourteen hundred Mormon mission
aries are at work in this country alone,
with 600, at least, in other lands. From
the mining regions Of Pennsylvania
comes this pitiful word: ut seems to
me that all western Pennsylvania is
turning to the Mormon faith" Within
a short time two Mormon fathers IN
Utah have sold their daughters into
polygamy, one receiving COW and
calf and the other three or four acres
of land in return. There is marked ac-
tivity in the Mormon church itself at
the present time, especially In the line
of organizing young peoples societies.

The reports in the Morning News
yesterday as to the condition of the

the crop was seldom more spotted than
this season, with the outlook fine in
one county and gloomy in another.
ION the whole the reports are not so
favorable" said a prominent factor.
For a time the crop suffered from
drought, and the development Of the
plant was checked. When the rain
did come 1t was as expected, the much

The stock of sea island cotton off,

John VOLTS Addition to His Nursery.
Mr.. John Wolf, the florist, has pur-
chased the adjoining land to his pres
ent nursery and will shortly begin ex-
tensive Improvements, made necessary
by the demands of his rapidly increas-
ing business. The new purchase has
frontage of 1873 feet on Anderson

FIREMEN GET THEIR PAY.
The Men of Station No. 4 Did Not
Have to suffer Docking. I

The Men of Station No. Did Not
Have to suffer Docking.
The ten firemen of Station No. 4, on
Barnard street, were paid off yester-
day afternoon. Delay in the payment
of the men from No. was due to the
fact that several articles of some value
have been missed from the station. SUI
perintendent Mcguire figured up the
loss using low estimate, and reach
ed the conclusion that $50 was about
the amount for which the men at the
station should be held responsible. He
accordingly locked each man 81 cents
as his proportion of the loss.
When the men found that their pay
had been docked they decided they
would not accept the money. The mat
ter was brought by some
of their friends to the attention of
Acting Mayor Dixon, who addressed a
letter to Superintendent Mcguire yes
terday, directing him to pay the men
the full amount of their salaries for
the month.
Notice that the full amount OF their
pay was awaiting them was sent the
men at No. 4, and they appeared at
headquarters and were paid by the
superintendent, who acts as paymas-
ter for the department.

a lantern and twelve chickens have

moval of these things has been dis

missions circulars on this subject
say:
This examination offers an excellent
opportunity to enter a service which
has many attractive features and to
see most interesting part of the
world. The Philippine service is clas-
he latu fer rall
motions on the basis of merit from the
lowest to the highest positions.

BALLOON TO TRY 1T AGAIN.
Ascension mt the Casino Sure to
Take Place To-day.


Take Place To-day.
The usual Sunday attractions are
offered at the Casino at Thunderbolt
to-day, including the balloon ascen-
sion, which has been scheduled to take
place every Sunday for the past six
and has always struck a snag.
The ad-smith for the trolley company
scarcely finds it possible to strike the
same triumphant key that animated
his prediction of a week ago, but he
manages to assure an anxious public
that if the balloon does go up, 'it will
go away up high, away into heavens
blue dome, and then Prof. Phillips will
make his famous parachute leap from
the clouds to the earth, straight down
like a shot"
AS an afterthought it is suggested
that guessing parties on the result Of
the weekly attempt be organized-a
wager that experience would pro-
nounce one-sided, but that the man
agement ayers is going to be decided
in favor of the affirmative of the is
sue.
With the band concerts in the after
noon and evening and exhibitions of
the polyscope, all to be enjoyed in
comfortable armchairs, ranged on
broad piazas, cooled by breezes from
the salts, the Casino is a place atrac-
tive enough in itself-even without the
balloon. AS a matter of fact, the I'M
certainty that attends the ascension
has given that event an attraction all
its own and one it would have failed
to furnish had the promised exhibit
ton been successfully accomplished at
the first attempt

SAVANNAH MAN THE HERO.
Made to Take Leading Part In n Sea-
side Rescue Which He Wasn't at.

A thrilling story of the rescue from
drowning of a young lady at Freeport.
L. l., is printed in the New York Her.
aid and a Savannah man, Mr.. Allan
Sweat, is made the hero of the story.
The lady supposed to have been res
cued is Miss Mamie B. Sanneman OF
Brooklyn, who also Is known here
through having visited relatives in this
city several times.
The peculiar part of the story is that
although Mr.. Sweat knows Miss Same
man quite we'll he hasn't been North
in years, and knew nothing of his re.
ported heroic act until he received a
clipping of the story from sister who
lives in New York. The report of the
affair is as follows:
Great excitement prevailed at Point
Lockout when long moving body was
seen writhing among the breakers
within snort distance of a party of
young men and women who were bath
iEg. Rumors have been current for the
last week regarding a beast which has
been seen in the water and which
greatly resembled a sea serpent. Hence
every one has been looking for the
serpent, and when the object was seen
this morning the first conclusion was
that the long expected serpent had ar
rived.
miss Mamie B. Sanneman of
Brooklyn, who is summering at the
Grove Park Hotel. was further out
than any of the other bathers being
an expert swimmer, and when she saw
the awful thing near her, her strength
failed her and she sank beneath the
waves. She quickly rallied, but was
unable to swim. being weak from
fright.
Allan Sweat, a Southern man, who
was watching the bathers from the
beach, but who was not attired in a
bathing suit, at once realized the sit
uation and rushed into the breakers.
Grasping Miss Sanneman by the Shout
ders, he quickly swan with her to the
beach, where she was received by her
well nigh distracted friends, as one
returned from the dead. Meanwhile
the supposed serpent resolved itself
into a huge coil of rope which had
come from the wrecked steamer Aeara,
which lies just off the beach. Miss
Sannenan was full of gratitude to her
preserver."
Neither Mr.. Sweat nor his friends
are able to account for the story on
any ground other than as an interest
ing piece of romancing on the part Of
the hotels press agent, who used the
name he did because he had learned in
some way that Mr.. Sweat is a friend
of Miss Sanneman's.
