LABOR DAY’S BIG TURNOUT. The Organizations Make a Fine Dis play on Parade. Between Five Hundred, and Six Hundred Men in Line—Crowds of People View the Procession—Many Buildings Decorated in Honor of the Day—The Festivities at Thun derbolt. Labor day was celebrated yesterday by the labor organizations with eclat. The turnout in the parade was even larger than was anticipated. The or ganizations assembled at their halls early in the morning, some of them as early as 6 o’clock; The day was all that could be asked fsr. the display, and all of the or ganizations in the line had full ranks. The rendezvous was at Bull and Liberty streets, where the procession formed. The streets within the vicinity w.ere filled with people to witness the parade. It started at 8:30 o’clock, and made a showing of which the organiza tions may be proud. Grand Marshal Driscoll led the procession, mounted with his aides. The members of the typo graphical union in linen dusters and white helmets was the first organization. The original printers’ devil, horns, hoofs and pitchfork, was at its head. THE MEN IN BLUE- . The Workingmen’s Benevolent Associ ation bad the largest turnout. At its head was carried the green banner of the association. The members were in blue uniforms and wore the green sash, the badge of the society. The colored organ izations followed, the Workingmen’s Union Association first and then the Naval Stores Association and the cotton stage gangs. AU of the organizations carried banners. The line of march was through the streets indicated in the Morning News. The procession was to have been re viewed from the City Exchange, but owing to a mistake in the invitation to the mayor and aidermen as to the hour at which the procession was to pass the ex change, none of the officials reached there in time. The procession was expected at the ex change at 10 o’clock. Instead it passed there a little after 9 o’clock. The ex change building was decorated with flags and bunting, and all of the buildings in the city floated their flags in honor of the day. Along the route of the procession numbers of buildings were docorated and the streets were lined with people as it passed. THE DAT WIDELY OBSERVED. The day was generally observed as a holiday. The banks, the exchanges and the city, county and state offices were closed. At the postofflee the day was ob served as a part holiday. The custom house was about the only public office that was open, and even there very little was done. A number of stores and busi ness houses closed during the forenoon, but at noon there was a general closing. After 2 o’clock all business was prac tically suspended. TO COAL THB FIRST SHIP. The Torgorm to Lead the Cotton Fleet In Taking on Her Supply of Coal Here—The Sloss Iron and Coal Com pany’s Big Enterprise. The initial step towards making Sa vannah a coaling port will be made to-day by the Sloss Iron and Coal Company in the coaling of the British steamship Tur gor m Capt. Mclntosh, now loading at the Central railroad wharves This vessel is the first cotton ship this season, and is only the beginning of the fleet of foreign steamers which have for years visited in * this port. Now that there is a depth of 28 feet at high water, which will in all probability be increased to 26 feet before the season is over, there must necessarily be a large increase in this class of tonnage, which will be still, further augmented, if the commercial fa cilities of the port are relatively im proved. . The establishment of a coaling station for vessels where they can get good steam coal at the lowest prices will do almost as much towards helping Savannah’s prog ress as deep water and low port charges. The coal for the Torgorm is from the mines of the Sloss company in Alabama, and is equal in quality to the best used in the merchant marine service. This is a new and important adjunct to the com merce of the port, and is the result of energetic and systematic efforts of Mr. James L. Logan, the Savannah manager of the Sloss Iron and Steel Company. It is estimated that last year foreign bound steamers from this uort used 60,- 000 tons of coal. If that supply could all be out aboard here it would benefit the railroads in freights, and furnish labor for a large number of people. The enterprise which the Sloss com pany has shown in its efforts to make Sa vannah a coal supplying port is worthy of the encouragement of the businessmen of the city, and the indorsement of its com mercial bodies. The work that the government is doing to give the port deep water will be a long time bearing fruit unless every man does his share towards bringing business here. Every vessel that coals at this port is an advertisement which will tend to induce other steamers to give Savannah the pref erence for freigh ts. IT COST HIM SIOO. A Drummer Robbed by a Hull Street Fairy, Who Skipped Out. J. F. Cartel- swore out a warrant before Justice M.Naughtin yesterday charging Emma O. Woodall or Woodruff with rob tuken from his clothes. » seems Carter had been in her house, or a house where she lived on Hull street, between Houston and East Broad, the night before, and when daylight came he found that she was gone, and that his money had disappeared at the same time. On Investigation it was found that she had taken a back and had gone out to the Central railroad junction, four miles from the city, where she took the train for At lanta. A telegraph message to Marshal Davis of Millen stopped her there and he wired back about noon that he had placed her under arrest. Detective 'Wetherhorn left for Millen last night and will bring her back to the city this morning. FIFTH GEORGIA DISTRICT. Senatorial Nomination Made and Turner and Atkinson Endorsed. Brunswick, Ga .

Atkinson for the supreme bench in the event the proposed amendments passed. A senatorial executive committee was chosen with H. F. Dunwody permanent chairman, and John C. Lehman perma nent secretary, both of Glynn. THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1894. A HACKMAN TURNS THIEF. A Savannah Lady Loses Her Jewels in Macon. Mrs. R. L. Colding of Savannah had the misfortune to lose her jewels while passing through Macon the other night. The manner in which the loss occurred was rather peculiar. Mr. Edward Mclntyre, who had been spending some time at Warm Springs for his health, was being brought back to his home at Marlowe, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Colding, his son, Mr. W. R. Mclntyre,and Dr. M. T. Davis. The party arrived in Macon by the East Tennessee railroad Saturday night and it was necessary to transfer across the city to the Central depot. The va lises and satchels belonging to the party were given in charge of the Brown house porter who placed them in the front part of the hack in which Mr. Mclntyre and his daughter were seated. When the party left the train Mrs. Colding gave the satchel containing her jewels to Dr. Davis. After seeing Mr. Mclntyre com fortably fixed Dr. Davis started to take another hack which he had ordered the Brown house porter to have in readiness for him. • “Here is your hack, sir,” said a negro who was' standing beside the porter on the sidewalk. Thinking that the negro was connected with tfce hotel Dr. Davis handed him the satchel to hold for a min ute while h« arranged some things in the hack. Before getting into the hack, how ever. he was called to the one occupied by Mr. Mclntyre, who insisted upon his rid ing down with him. Not thinking of the satchel at the time Dr. Davis got in and rode down with Mr. Mclntyre. Before reaching the Central depot, however, he remembered that he bad left the satchel with the negro haekmah. He ascertained the name of the man from the driver of the hack which he was in, and as soon as he arrived at the Central depot started out to do a little detective work. He found that the name of the negro to whom he had given the satchel was Sam Barden. Several hackmen were standing in front of the depot when he arrived. He announced that he wanted a hack at once and asked for Sam Barden. That worthy who had just arrived from the East Tennes see depot rushed up at once, expecting to secure a fare. He found himself deceived, however, as he was immediatel y put un der arrest. He did not have the satchel with him, however, and denied all knowl edge of it. It was supposed that he had handed it to a confederate be fore coming over to the Cen tral depot. Chief Butner of the Macon police was notified and responded in person with several detectives. Every effort was (made td find the satchel, but without avail. Dr. Davis said yesterday that the promptness and activity of Chief Butner and his aides was very commend able. Barden and four other hackmen were taken in custody. Dr Davis came on to Savannah with Mr. Mclntyre. He received a telegram from Chief Butner last night saying that he had not been able to obtain any trace of the satchel or its contents as yet. The value of the jewels in the satchel was about 8200. A BIG ENGLISH FORTUNE. The Hazzard Estate Which May Go to Relatives of That Name in Georgia Said to Be Worth Many Millions—A. B. Hazzard of Pooler and Solicitor Generali Fraser Among the Legal Heirs—The Matter Now Being In vestigated. Every now and then a rumor comes from England or from somewhere on the other side, of some largte fortune left by persons who die intestate, and whose nearest known relatives are residents of ome portion of Arterica. Some times it that these re ports are worth and then again it turns out that some lawyer is prcisecutiong a scheme for the purpose of turning a few shekels at the expense of the credulous. A recent report of a fortune in which several people in this section are in terested is now being investigated. The Hazzard estate left in England is re ported to be valued at £15,000,000. This was • the valuation „ rumor ' placed on it some years ago when a search was laeing made forthe heirs. A ROUSING ESTATE. Another story puts it at £40,000,000, but of the amount nothing known is certain. A Hazzard estate was left and without a will, and it is believed that the Hazzard family, which lived in this section of Georgia, is heir to whatever there may be of such an estate. Recently a New Yorn attorney left his business and went down to Atlanta for , the purpose of seeing Mrs. Julia White, formerly a Miss Hazzard who lived near Darien. His object was to get the genealogy and establish the relationships, which is necessary before the English courts will take any action in the matter. This has led to an investiga tion of the matter. a poolerite in it. Col. A. B. Hazzard, formerly of Savan nah. who now lives in Pooler, is Mrs. White’s uncle. Solicitor General Eraser, who is related to the family through mar riage. would also be interested in the find ing of sych a large estate. and the share of his family would be considerable. The matter is now in his hands, and though he does not give too much cre dence to the report of the existence of an estate oi' such fabulous value in which he would be a sharer.be will probably reach the conclusion that the matter is worth looking into. TO HUNT UP THEIR GENEALOGY. According to the attorney who visited Mrs. White in Atlanta, all that has to be done is to get up the genealog.v of the Hazzard family in Georgia and establish its relationship with those by whom the estate was left. If there is any foundation in the re port, which places the figures anywhere Jrom £15,000,000 to £60,000,000, and the matter can be properly traced up with all the necessary legal proofs, it may be that within a year or two Georgia will have one or two more millionaires than the state contains at the present writing. MURDERED BY BURGLARS. A Police Sergeant Killed, Probably for Stopping Th. ir Baids. Cleveland, 0., Sept. s.—Police Sergeant Nicholas Shehan was murdered this morning at daylight by two burglars, whom the officer was pursuing. The bur glars opened fire on the sergeant and he fell - to the sidewalk dead, with a bullet in his breast. The murderers are still at large, and the police have as yet no clew to their identity. Later it was found that the burglars had made an unsuccessful attempt to blow open the sate in the office of the Ohio Provision Company. A BOASTER SLAIN. Alleged Undue Intimacy With a Young Woman Causes a Killing. Henrietta. Tex., Sept. 5.—J. F. Witt, secretary of the Thirteenth congressional district convention and superintendent of public schools at Decatur, was killed at the latter plavelast evening by S. Sim- ■ mens, a young business man of Sherman. I The tragedy occurred in a public street at ■ Decatur. It is alleged that undue in timacy existed between Witt andva sister of Simmons, and Witt openly boasted of it. Simmons was arrested. ESCAPED WHAT HE FEARED Robert Howard Will Meet No Worldly • Punishment. His Death at the Georgia Infirmary Puts Him Beyond the Power of the Law—His Peculiar Reasons for Hav ing Ended His Own Life The Woman He Shot is Getting Better and Will Probably Recover. Robert Howard is dead at last, and is free from that earthly punishment which he so much dreaded that he took his own life after making a murderous assault on Grace Rhodes. He died at the Georgia Infirmary, where he has been since the shooting, between 10 and 11 o’clock Monday night. Being delirious and almost unconscious several hours before his death he had little to say upon the subject in his last inoments. The case is undoubtedly one of the most peculiar in the annals of Chatham county crime. Thursday morning, Aug. 23, he went to the resi dence of a gentleman for whom Grace Rhodes was working as cook, and after a few words he recklessly fired after her four shots from his revolver, with which he afterward inflicted upon himself the wounds that produced his death. He made some accusations against the woman which were denied, and said he shot her because she had deserted him and had been untrue to him. The peculiarity of Howard’s case was his suicidal shots and the reason he gave for inflicting them. He intended to kill the woman, he said, and he reasoned and perhaps rightly, that if he lived he would have to submit to severe legal punish ment, as well, he said, as the punishment hereafter, which he believed was bound to follow in any event. So with the gal lows staring him in the face he turned the revolver upon himself and sought, as near as he could, the heart. With an un usual physical fortitude he bore the pain, but continually expressed a wish to die, more it seems as a* relief to his mind upon the subject of an earthly punishment, than to nis bodily suffering. The wounds in his breast undoubtedly caused his death, though it is believed the one in his shoulder, which cut the artery leading to the wrist and forming the pulse, and which would have necessi tated the amputation of his left arm, would have almost been sufficient to have caused death. It is probably best for the negro that he died, but it is fortunate that the woman whom he intended to murder is gradually recovering, and It is believed will be out within a short time. The case is one of the most peculiar in the list of murders and suicides that has been known in this section. FACTORS WILL NOT PAY. The Railroads Notify the Factors of a New Charge on Rolling Rosin From the Warehouses, and That It Must Be Paid in Advance—The Factors Say They Won’t Pay It—The Claims of Both Sides. The naval stores factors were .up in arms yesterday against the railroad com panies, and a meeting was held at the board of trade to discuss the differennes caused by the imposing of certain charges for handling freight, which the factors consider unreasonable. A few days ago the factors were noti fied that a charge of 3 cents per barrel would be made for rolling their rosin from the warehouses when ordered to be delivered to the exporters, and that pay ment must be made at tne time the stock is taken in storage. The charge on spirits turpentine for the same service was put at 4 cents per cask. This is in addition to the regular cnarge made for storage. Heretofore the factorshave paid 3 cents a month for storage of rosin, and the charges for delivery on the wharves have been paid by the shippers, and the factors had nothing to do with the stock after giving an order for its delivery from the warehouses. THE EXPORTERS HIT FIRST. Sometime ago, the railroads increased their charges for rolling the stock from the warehouses to the cars or lighters, and notified the exporters of the change. There was a bold kick on the part of the exporters over the additional charges, and a committee was appointed to confer with the railroad officials in re gard to the matter. The next development regarding charges for hand ling the stock was-the notification to the factors that they would be held responsi ble for the charges. The railroad companies contend that the increased expense in handling the i large stocks at the wharves and ware- I houses causes a great loss to them Unless i they were reimbursed by the owners of the stocks; therefore they are compelled to increase the rates. A KICIi ON THE WAY IT IS DONE. They also claim that it is not convenient : to keep accounts of all deliveries, both ■ large and small, made at irregular inter- | vals to shippers, and to facilitate matters they propose to charge the factors for rolling the stock out to the shippers and make them pay for the service at tbe time it is taken in storage. They suggest that the factors can get their money back by charjng the shippers for handling when orders for delivery are given. The naval stores factors held a long conference yesterday with Mr. W. S. .Winburn, general freight agent of the Central railroad, and Mr. F. B. Papy, general freight agent of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway. After a spirited discussion over the situation, there was nothing definite agreed upon except that the railroad officials insisted that they would make the charges and the factors positively refused to agree to pay them. * THE FACTORS’ SIDE OF IT. In speaking to a Morning News re porter after the meeting a prominent fac tor said: “We have entered a protest against being compelled to pay tbe charges of the railroad companies for delivering stocks to our customers. We do not con sider it fair nor just. It is not our busi ness to be responsible for charges made for handling goods which we have sold to other parties to be delivered from the warehouses at which we have already paid storage. If the railroads want to increase the cost of storage, that would be another matter, and one whwh we would consider from a different standpoint; but the fact that we must pay for a service before it is per formed, and, besides, for one which we are not resonsible, is unreasonable. The railroads must look to the shippers for their pay for delivering naval stores on board ears and lighters. We sell our stock to be delivered at the warehouses, and after an Order is given for delivery the property belongs to the purchaser. The factors will positively refuse to pay the charges imposed upon them.” Will Vote a Republican Ticket. Denver, Colo., Sept. 5.—V. R.

Democratic Doctrine- Clifton and Sheppard Speak—A Number of Populists Present—Mor gan and Stovall Talk to the People at Reidsville. Col. Rufus E. Lester and Mr, William Clifton returned last night from Hines ville, where they went yesterday to at tend a rally of the democrats of Liberty county. The meeting was held in the court house and something over 300 demo crats and others were present. The speak ,, ers ware surprised as well as gratified by the fact that quite a number -of populists attended the meeting and were attentive listeners. Dr. A. B. Daniels was elected chairman and R. M. Martin secretary. The busi ness before the meeting was the nomina tion of a candidate of the Demdcratic party for the legislature. The. names of W. P. Waite and W. Finley Way x went before the meeting with the resfllt that Mr. Waite was made the candidate of the party. Mr. Way pledged loyalty and promised to exert every effort in behalf of the democratic cause. COL. LESTER’S SPEECH; Col. Lester was introduced by W. Fin lay Way. Esq., who said Col. Lester was so well-known in Liberty county that he really needed no introduction. Col. Lester was greeted with applause. He discussed at some length the fundamental princh pies of democracy showing that the peo ple had every reason to be proud, of the party and its work, and that there was no reason particularly in the south for the existence of the third party. The Democratic party he said was the only ’ one that could and would correct the evils of the day.’ . He referred to the populistic idea of the government ownership of railroads, showing it would take more money than there is' in the world to buy the railroads of the United States. He only alluded to the silver issue. He asked the populist farmers if they deserted their farms when their farm hands did not suit them, or whether the proper course was not to find new laborers. He applied this to those who served them in public life. His'argument was well received and liberally applauded ■ CLIFTON’S ADVICE. Mr. William Clityon was next palled. His argument was received in a manner indicative of bis increasing popularity in Liberty. He said he haa just returned from the state democratic headquar ters, where he had met leaders from all parts of tbe state, and he was assured that tbe democracy in Georgia was still in overpowering ascen dancy. He showed the populists that they had made the mistake of their lives in deserting the Democratic party. He urged that the Democratic, party was the frieud of the colored people, and told of the work democratic legislation bad ac complished in the education of their chil dren. Walter Sheppard, tbe democratic nomi nee for the Senate from the Second dis trict, made an excellent sreech. He said that he was going to do all in bis power to carry the banner of| democracy in that district to success. He urged every dem ocrat to exert his utmost efforts for the success of the party in that county and district. The turnout was considered fairly good, and it is believed the democratic vote in Liberty will show a large increase this year. REIDSVILLE’S RALLY. Mr. Pleasant A. Stovall and Thomas S. Morgan. Jr., Esq., spoke at Reidsville to a crowd of between 300 and 400 people. The crowd would have been much larger had it not been for a misunder standing as to speaking, caused.- by a mistake of the state chairman. The people of Reidsville were notified some time ago that Messrs Morgan and Stovall would sneak there on Sept 4. Later it was announced that these two gentlemen would speak at Hinesville on that day. The people of Tattnall county seeing this announcement concluded that the rally at Reidsville had been aban doned. Upon advice of Col. Lester, however, Messrs. Morgan and Stovall decided to go to Reidsville. Being court house sales day, they found a good crowd in town, but they were informed that a great many who had intended being present had not come because they were informed that there would be no speaking. The two speakers were warmly received, however, and the court house meeting was soon arranged fori Hon, John H. Heery, chairman of tbe democratic execu tive committee of the county, presided. < TALKED DEMOCBATIC DOCTRINE. Messrs. Morgan and Stovall discussed the questions of the hour and gave their listeners the benefit of some sound demo cratic doctrine. Their audience proved an appreciative one and their efforts were loudly applauded. They found the demo crats of Tattnall loyal to the core. The ' mention of President Cleveland's name ; was always welcomed with prolonged ap l plause, showing the esteem in which the standard bearer of the Democratic party is held by the democrats of Tattnail county. It was estimated that one-fifth of the crowd was third partyites. Tire speakers returned to the city last night. They i learned while in Tattnall that the popu : lists have formed a combination with the negroes and that it will be necessary for the democrats to do some - good work in Tattnall in order to insure the usual democratic majority. SPEAKING AT LOUISVILLE- Populist Orators Make Speaking Trumpets of Their Hats. Louisville, Ga., Sept. 5.—A crowd of something over ,300 populists, half of them colored, met at the fairgrounds here to-day to listen to speeches by Messrs. West and Ellington, Mr. West, who is editor and proprietor of a thitd party paper at Thompson, Ga., the home of his chief, spoke for an hour and a quarter. He said the democrats had not;, nor did not intend to fulfill their pledges. That Cleveland was in favor of social equality, that he had appointed the negro C. H. J. Taylor to Bolivia, which was a white man’s coun try. and that he was in favor of mixed public schools. He then attacked our next governor, the Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, and said that he had never repudiated the statement said to have been made by him in Fannin county that, if he was elected governor, he would pardon cer tain convicts. He also said the govern ment ought to own the railroads and ridi culed the idea that their purchase would bankrupt the country. He said the pop ulists were opposed to farming out the convicts, as they’ came in con flict with free labor; that James. M. ; Smith had now so many convicts that he : sub-hired them to work at turpentine stills atsl a day, when he only paid the state 811 a year. Mr. Ellington then took the said, among other things, that tbe demo crats had had their day, and that we were getting poorer every year under democratic rule, but that there were good and glorious times just ahead, when the People’s party would hold the reins There were several hurrahs, but nothing like enthusiasm.

But hears were ill satisfied with the weekly government crop report, and in the afternoon, when some of the shorts began to cover, they soon learned the significance of the dull strength which had marked the trading in the forenoon. Nobody seemed to care to sell, and the demand caused a grad ual and continuous advance. January rose to 6.95 c. The close was firm at about the best prices. The prevailing feeling is still bull ish. The shorts are very vneasy less the bu reau report on Sept. 10 should show a serious falling off in condition, and it would not sur prise us to see the advance dp further before the end of the week.

Trade at Manchester. Manchester, Sept. s.—The Guardian, in its commercial article, osays: "The mar ket during the past week has been quiet and disappointing, with little doing in. business. Orders for India continue in diminished volume. China has bought light weight shirtings very freely, but the business for South America hp,s been poor. Other markets, including the United States, are buying steadily, but moderately, and the home trade is iu a. healthy condition. Manufacturers of India staples are firm. Dhoothies are easy. Heavy goods for China are in poor de mand, but there is some inquiry for bleaching cloths for China and the straits settlement. Common printing cloths are moving moderately. In yarn, the move, inent is hardly of the average magnitude, but individual sellers have made fairly good progress; the market is steady?’ A BULLET IN HIS HEAD. Gaston Deceived and Bobbed the Ne groes and They Shot Him. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. s.—Gaston’s negro deportation scheme is broken up tempor arily at least, in Hancock county. Gas ton himself has a bullet in his head, Craw ford Holsey has a broken thigh and Isaac Dickinson will die from wounds which h® received in tne fight Monday night. Anna Jenkins, wife of the man w£o led the op position to Gaston, is badly wounded, but not dangerously. The tight was altogether among the negroes and the whites had nothing to do ■with it. Dan Jenkins, a leading negro of Hancock county, told his people that Gaston was deluding them and that his emigration scheme was a swindle. This incensed Gaston and his lieutenants and they threatened Jenkins. Gaston, who was formerly in Atlanta and worked up a deportation scheme here, has been in Hancock county for three or four months. He held meetings and preached to the blacks, who flocked to hear him, about the promised land—Li beria. Gaston collected $1 from every” man, woman and child who enrolled as a colonist for Liberia? He is a plausible talker and had 3,000 of his race pledged to go to Africa. He told them that it was a glorious country where riches camo easily. Time and again he appointed a day for their departure, but when the time ar rived Gaston was somewhere else. After frequent disappointments about this mat ter some of the emigrants began to be lieve what Jenkins and their white friends had told them. But it was too late. Thev had sold their property. Gas ton had part of the money, and the bal ance they had spent. Their crops j had gone to waste. Dissatisfaction i reigned. Some of them became desperate and a number of tnem armed themselves and called on Gaston for the purpose of having him refund their money. Gaston rallied a number of negroes to his assist ance and a battle ensued. The planters sympathized with Jenkins, who was working for the best interests of his people. This fact has been dis torted into active participation by the whites in Monday night’s fight. Dangerously 111. Augusta. Ga., Sept. s.—Mrs. Luke Car son of Savannah, who is visiting ber daughter. Mrs. P. H. Rice of Augusta, is dangerously ill with congestion of the brain and is not expected to live through the night.
