Reminiscences of Mulberry Sell John T. Raymond, whose death was announced by telegraph to the Morning News yesterday, was well known in Savannah, and had many friends here. Many a night has he entertained the Savannah public, and there was general regret at the nows of bis death. His last appearance in this city was scarcely two months ago, when he seen in "A Woman and Mulberry The latter was his most popular play, and he was most widely known through that piece. In 1805 or 1800 Mr.

Raymond, in connection with Theodore Hamilton, made an unsuccessful effort to establish himself in tnls city. It was in the days before traveling companies had come in vogue, and theatres were kept open the entire season by a company, which, in the absence of stars, undertook any role trom Richard, Hamlet or Macbeth to the lightest or most whimsical laree. It was not infrequent that the bill for the eveniug consisted entirely ot three or four oneact tarces. If Macbeth or Richelieu was played the audience was not satisfied unless a tarco concluded the evening's performance. St.

Hall, now Turner Halle, was the scene of Raymond and Hamilton's venture, aud it proved a most lamentable failure. Raymond returned North, and nothing was heard of nun until be blazoned, forth in tne histrionic arena as Mulberry Hamilton, his partner, remained in Savannah for some time after the collapse of his theatre, and ran an advertising sheet, which aiterward became, uuder other management, the Savannah Daily Advertiser. Hamilton, however, made a reputation hs an actor, and for many years was a star in tho lar-away continent of Australia. it may be recorded to his credit that when Raymond actileved lame aud fortune he paid his bills, which he had leit unsettled when he went away. In settling with the Morning News he made it a condition that if ever his old partner came tnls way ha should he made to pay bis proportion of the old debt.

Air. Raymond was a comedian by nature, and he attained oue ot the top iiicoes in that branch of his proiession. He was a lover of practical jokes, and dozens ot stones are told about him by his old friends here. His last wife is the step-daughter of Cyril Searle, the actor who died at the Savannah Hospital a few weeks ago. THE RIFLE RANGE Format I Opened for Battalion Practice Last Night.

The Savannah Volunteer rifle range opened last night. The first shots were fired in it by Gov. John 15. Gordon on Feb. 22, but the machinery was not.

all ready then, and it was not until last night that everything was in proper shape to allow the range to be throw and open to tne battalion elub. Nothing seems to be w-anting now lor the arrangements are perfect to the smallest detail. The range is fifty feet in length, and tho targets are reduced most accurately from a 200-yard reedmoor target. The rifles are of the very finest make. Care has been taken to inclose the range so that it is impossible for anyone to get in tho way of the shooters.

The targets are so arrauged that they can be brought irom the extreme end of the range to the marksman. An excellent feature is the veuliiuting apparatus so arrauged that the smoke and foul air quickly disappear and the air in the range is kept tresh and pure by fans turned by a water motor. All ot the designs were drawn by Mr. C. F.

ot Company A. and the work was done under Ins supervision, it would have been completed by birthday had it not been for tne tiro which destroyed the Savannah, Florida and machine shops, in which were several castings for the ranze. After it was opened last night it was well patronized, aud some good shots were made. A prizs of SSO is ottered tor ten consecutive eves, and a $25 prize for five consecutive eyes. Entries for a contest for a $5 prize lor the best aggregate 100 shots opened last night and will close Thursday night.

Shooting will begin Thursday night and will continue until Tuesday night, April 26. Entries will close Saturday evening for a sweepstakes prize, entrance lor 100 shots. All of the entrance money goes to tue winner. The shooting will begin on the week day evening next 'following the close ol Match No. I.

A small fee is charged for the me ot the range. It is most excellently fitted up, and will become an attraciiVH feature of tbe club, while at tho same time it will be a practical benefit to tbe battalion in affording opportunity to tbe members to improve their marksmanship. FOR litlS LIBERTY. Tiro Meeting at the theatre To-Night. The mass meeting at the Theatre tonight for the purpose ol publicly condemning the passage ol tbe Irish crimes bill now before the British Rarilament will doubtless be one ot the largest gatherings of the kind that has ever taken place in Savannah.

Great interest manifested in the meeting, not only amongst Irishmen but among all classes and nationalities. A number of ablest speakers will deliver short addresses, and will endeavor to show that the measure by which it is sought to Ireland to a rock in penal should he voted down by any Christian legislative body. The occasion will be enlivened by the presence of a band, which will discourse patriotic airs. Desirable seats will be reserved by tbe ushers lor indies, who are cordially invited to be present, and it is expected that they will attend in large numbers and thereby attest tbeir deep detestation of the cruel aud tyrannical bill. There will be no charge for admission and no collection.

The doors will Pa open at 7 o'clock and the meeting will be called toorder promptly at 8. A number of distinguished citizens of other cities in this and neighboring States have been invited to be present, and it is expected that some of them will attend. 1 he Call Company Incorporated, Judge Adams granted articles of incorporation yesterday to the Evening Call I'rinting and Publishing Company.

BROKE IX THE EIGHTH THE HOME CLUB DROPS ANOTHER GAME TO CHARLESTON. Tlie Carolinians Frond of Their A Over Savannah Ineffective Work in the Box the Field Charleston to Score at Weak of Team Shown Dp.

Eight hundred people went out to the ball grounds yesterday expecting to see a close game between Charleston and the home club. The Carolinians have boasted so much of tbeir team that a good many people had come to believe that it was really a fact that Charleston had got together a club that is going to wipeout everything in the Southern League. game was the fourth it has won from Savannah, and it stands a pretty good show, in view ot the home club's crippled condition, of winning tbe entire series Tbe team is probably the most overrated of any that nas ever played here. The four games it has won from Savannah, and which the Cnarlestonians arc as proud of as a boy with his first pair ot boots, were as good as won betore they were played. Fat Tavior has reduced his weight since he played here with Nashville last fall, and he does a little better work, possibly, than be did then.

Rowell, Corcoran, Williams and Hines were all Southern League players last season. The team, judging from its work so far and the amount of practice it has had, is very little stronger than last Charleston team. It is strong enough though to show that Savannah has some very weak points. Jones, who pitched yesterday, has been In the box butonce this season, and that was in game at Charleston. For the practice ha has had he.did itUrt.v well.

Up to tbe sixth inning he held the visitors down close, but after that his arm failed and the hall looked as big as a wnen it went over the plate. Dallas caught, without a siugte error. Some of the stops he made were almost miraculous, and his throwing to second that of any catcher that has ever placed on the grounds. He has been steadily behind the hat for nearly a week and is beginning to show signs ol overwork. As soon as Manager oau get another battery and Like recovers, Dallas will be given a rest.

Since Reilly was changed trom third base to short stop, his regular position, his playing has greatly Improved. He is a brilliant fielder and one of the strongest players tn the team. in centre field was third in last championship record, and looked upon as one ot tbe strongest players in the league. The great trouble with Savannah is its lack of a good battery. Jones will probabiy work down with another practice, but at present he is unfit to go into the box.

Somers will he put in to-effiy against Smith. The game was interesting up to the fifth inning, lu tne si vth inning Charleston scored two runs, after having been three times shut out. The home club, by lucky hits, scored live times in the sixth and seventh innings, giving it a lead of three runs. The crowd in the grand stand cheered, aafl it looked as though Savannah was going to win. The semi-professional sports who had backed Charleston, some ot them two to oue, began to look around for a chance to but betore they had found anybody who wanted to bet that way the game turned and the Charlestonians piled up eight runs, giving them Iff altogether.

Burgess us a Founder of Fast Venture.

The following from the New York Washington correspondent will be Interesting to many people in Savannah who were victimized by the Why such swindlers are allowed to continue their impositions upon too confiding people is something that no one can understand. His very looks are enough to tell what lie is. He apparently takes a delight in seeing how many people be can swindle in a given time. The Maryland Military and Naval Academy, at Oxford, which has achieved such unenviable notoriety of late, is no more, and Its ex-superintendent, Burgess, is now in hiding. Maj.

George A. Armes, U. 9. retired, who a short time ago purchased the institution, arrived in this city yesterday alter closing the school and providing tor the trafister of the remaining pupils to other academies. He has employed two detectives, woo are now scouring the country in search of the ex-superintendent, who is wanted on a dozen charges of swindling.

The career ot Burgess, as related by Maj. Armes, is unique in its way. Some years ago he developed a passion lor founding educational institutions, with a strong partiality for militarv and uava! matures. He organized a military academy in Georgia, out alter incurring liabilities amou to several thousand dollars quietly disappeared. He uext established the school at Oxford, and alter engaging a corps ot assistaois, embracing several graduates from West Point aud Annapolis, he secured as pupils sons of a large number of prominent people, among them Congressmen Wheeler, Osborne, Anderson (ol Oni Ballentine.

aud others. A dozen boys (rom wealthy families in New York city were among the cadets. Tuition and ooard bills were uniformly payable in advance. Burgess claimed that the academy was conducted under the auspices of the State, and issued a circular in which the Congressmen referred to and several Senators appear as a of Major Armes eavs Burgess then made an extended tour ol small Kastern cities, ordering large quantities of goods shipped to the academy. These he reshipped in the original packages, consigned to his brother, who had rented a storehouse in a neighboring town, and mauaged to dispose of them.

The bills were all sent to the academy and paid by check. Armes was induced to purchase this institution in February last, and, after making the transfer, Burgess disappeared. Within thirty days over a hundred of the worthless drafts wire protested and returned to the academy. Armes says he has reason to neliave the returns are not all in yet, but thinks operation must have netted him at least A number of judgments for frauds committed in Georgia have been levied on the Oxford property, and Armes has surrendered everything and returned to Washington. He says the complaints made by teachers aud pupils as to poor accommodations, were caused by the straitened circumstances in which he was placed by the rascality of Burgess.

Cohen, dr. Judge Adams remarked thatiu consideration of the fact that the deceased was the oftioial stenographer of the court lor a considerable time, and at the time of his death was in the office of a prominent law firm, he thought it lit that the court should take a recess to permit the oar who might so desire to attend the funeral. first case tried was an appeal from a Court, E.

The animal soon went lame again, aud anotner veterinary surgeon took out a piece of wood from its shoulder fully a foot long and an inch square.

The owner sued for SIOO damages in Magistrate Waring Court and got judgment for the lull amount. The defendants appealed ami the Jury reduced the judgment to 60, which was the amouutof the verdict they agreed upon.

By the new line it will be.sssmiles from Savannah to Birmingham, or about eighty miles shorter than the line will be when the Goodwater extension is completed. Birmingham Age says that it is informed that toe Birmingham, Georgia and Florida Railroad Company has consolidated with the Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line.

Cols. John T. Miller and W. A. Handley, on the part ol the Birmingham aud Atlantic Air Line Railroad Company, and Hon.

W. A. Skaggs and Capt. A. Montgomery, representing the Birmingham, Georgia and Florida, are to arrange the details of consolidation.

This movement on the part of contending lines, by which they become one grand trunk line, will give to Birmingham, Georgia, the Carolinas and Florida one of the most important systems of railroads in the South. it is expected to commence work in sixty days in Alabama. The entire system contemplated will comprise 800 miles of railroad. Toe Age adds: When these roads are consolidated into one, it is said that the presidency will be given to a man ol prominence in Savannah, and the vice presidency to one of distinguished citizens, who is prominently connected with railroads and other industries in Alabama. Capital nas been pledged to the new management, and it is their purpose to complete their railroad system as rapidly as it can bo salelydone.

Capt. Tut wilder, their chief engineer, who recently surveyed the line to Birmingham from Georgia, is now busily engaged in completing his estimates and profile. great enterprise, which for more than a year has taxed the skill and ability of some of the first railroad men of the age, will, whim finished, be as great a benefit, it is believed, to Birmingham as the Kansas City road Focal Personal. rs.
