IIaII’m Combination,
On Monday night the Theatre will bo
opened by tlie above-named company, who
come recommended to the Savannah public
by the endorsement of the metropolitan
press. In 1 harlestou, where they presented
the beautiiul play of the “Two Orphans,”
they met with a most enthusiastic recep
tion. The p'av is giveu in eiyht acts, and is
complete. The Xetrs aud Courier says the
presentat on of the play of the “Two Or
phans” at the Academy Tuesday night
hardly lacked the charm of novelty to the
large audience present, so superior was it in
dramatic effect and artistic mounting to tho
version of the same drama lately given on
our boards. It is not too much to say that
it was a thoroughly satisfactory perform
ance. Though the company is much stronger
in numbers than those wbich usually appear
in Charleston, tlio acting throughout was
marked by an evenness rf merit which we
do not often see outside the best metropoli
tan theatres. Tbe Beenes were carefully set,
aud tbe dresses were notably rich and elab
orate. The La Froehard of Mrs. Rodgers,
to our miod, was the most striking bit of
acting in the piece ; though tin re was not
oue of the leading characters that was not
given with croditab e spirit and skill. The
Two Orphans will be repeated to-night, and
if a stirring play, admirably enacted, counts
for anytbiug. there will not be a vacant seat
in tbe bouse.

The .Hozurt Club.
The Board of Managers of the Mozart
Club, in announcing the opening of the
fifth annual series of soirees Musicales(nnce
the organization), is gratified at being able
to assure the mt-mbi-rs of the club, and tbe
public generally, that the season will open
under better auspices than ever before.
Tin- instrumental department will be un
der the direction of Mr. E. Aug. Scbultze,
and tho vocal department under Mr.William
Lndden; and the Board believes that this
country affords no leaders better suited for
the positions. The orchestra and chorus
will certainly be brought to a degree of effi
ciency not hitherto attained.
The soloists are Mrs. von dor Hoza-
Schultze, piauiste; Miss Arm&ntine Mercier,
soprano ; Mr. Scbultze, violinist ; Mr.
Braun, violincell is t, and Mr. Geeks, clari-
onetist, all well known here, except the two
ladies, of whom the board say nothing more
than that the highest expectations of the
members will be realized. Tbe orchestra
has received valuable addition, profes
sional and amateur, aud the chorus is com
posed of carefully selected vioces. After
two years experimenting elsewhere, the
ninny*and serious iucouveuiencies suffered
have cans* d the board to again lease Mozart
Hall, originally built for the club. The hall
is, acoustically, the host we have had, and
will be reseated. The only drawback is its
locatiou so far dowu town. To lesson this
inconvenience, arrangements have been
made with the threo lines of street cars to
be in readiness to carry the public to and
from the concerts.
The board has undertaken a serious pecu
niary responsibility in arranging for so bril
liant a season; and while musical success is
certain, it remains for the associate mem
bers to see that this somewhat hazardous
attempt does not result iu financial embar
rassment. The first soiree musicale will be
gin at the Mozart Hail Wednesday evening,
December 1, at 8 } o’clock.
By order of tbe Board. L. Knork,
Secretary aud Treasurer.
Tlie Merger Family.
This celebrated family open at the Theatre
ou Thursday night f«»r an engagement of
three nights, ana our amusement loving
people may anticipate a plcasaut entertain
ment. The Detroit Free Press has this to
say of the troupe :
The Berger Family, reorganized and ma
terially strengthened since their last visit to
Detroit, gave, with the aid of the inimitable
S-»l Smith ltussell, one of their charming
concerts at tho Opera House last evening.
A largo audience gave them welcome, and
it is not too much to say that the satisfac
tion was universal. For a genteel parlor
. ntertainnieut no programme could have
been in better taste than that selected for
t o first concert. Tho indescribably funny
things done, said and sang by Sol
Smith Russell provoked roars of laugh
ter, and the musical features were
applauded with the greatest possible
enthusiasm. Miss Anna Berger’s command
of the cornet was an agreeable surprise to
most of her audience, for it is tho generally
received opinion that uo w<jm&n cun ever
accomplish much with that instrument.
This young lady, however, has a perfect
mastery over it, and in accuracy and rapidity
of execution, as well as m the clearness of
her tones, she is entitled -o rank with those
coruetists who have gained fame in that
specialty. The exquisite bell music was, as
usual, a genuine pleasure to all who heard
it; aud the vocal efforts of Miss Alice
Storrs, aud tho ’cello solo by Mrs. Klaisv
served most happily to round off a pro
gramme remarkable* for its numerous at
tractions.

Court convened yesterday morning at 10
o’clock, pursuant to adjournment.
The case of William H. Tisou vs. Aug. P.
Wetter, set for trial at the present term,
was called, Hon. R. F. Lyon, of Macon,
plaintiff’s attorney, being present. The de
fendant was represented by Hen. Rufus E.
Lester. Tbe action was ou a note for $10,-
750, given June 6, 1870, ami upon which cer
tain sums bad been paid. After a short
argument the case w t hs submitted to the
jury, with instructions from the Ju Igo, who
rendered the following verdict without leav
ing the box: “We, tbe jury, find for tbe
plaintiff six thousand nine hundred aud
twenty-five dollars and sixt^-six cents, with
inter* st from 5th of January, 1875, and costs
of suit.
The next case called was that of the State
vs. John Myers, indicted for simple larceny.
The State was represented by the Solicitor
General; the accused by Messrs. P. M. A R.
W. Russell. The particulars of this case
were given in the News at the time of tbe
preliminary examination before Magistrate
Elsinger, a couple of weeks siuce.
The State examined several witnesses, and
the defense had opened, when a
startling episode
occurred, which, for the moment, causid
considerable commotion in tbe court room
aud abruptly terminated the trial. Whilst
Mr. Fred. Myers was ou the witness
stand one of the jurors, Mr
Richard O’Brien was observed to throw
up his hands suddenly, and utteriug a suc-
c* ssion of half suppressed groans, tumbled
from bis seat before hi* companion jurors,
who hurriedly arose, were able to prevent
it. The blood gushed from his nose, and
he writhed upon the floor for several
minutes in apparent agony. The window
was thrown up, and water being obtained
be soon began to revive, and was lifted to &
sitting posture. Dr. R J. Nunn, who had
been s*3nt for, shortly made his appearance,
and upon examination pronounced Mr.
O’Brien to be too ill to serve, any long r.
The defense announced their*readiness to
proceed with eleven jurors, but the
State objected and withdrew tbe juror,
aud declared a mistrial. The jury were
then discharged tor an hour, and Mr.O’Brien,
whose name was ordered to be stricken
from the panel, was taken to liis home,
having recovered snfficientlv to walk.
Tlie case was reassigned for trial on Wed
nesday next, at which time the witnesses
were notified to be present.
Tbe next case called was that of tlie State
vs.Ciesar Weston, negro. Larceny after trust.
The prosecutor was Henry Murken, who
alleged that on tho 15th of April last he en
trusted to the accused a Silver watch, valued
at fifteen doll irs, which the accused had dis
posed of and appropriated the money to his
own use, and refused to make any return to
the owner, although called npou to do so.
The prosecution was conuucted by the
Solicitor General; the defense by jir. Geo.
W. Owens.
The prosecutor, Henry Murken, was
placed ou the stand, but his statement was
so frivolous and inconsistent, failing utterly
to establish the charge, that tho Solicitor
General declined to allow him to finish, aud
auuouuced that he would abandon the case.
Mr. Owens, counsel for tho prisoner, ex-
{ iressed the desire to have a verdict, be-
ieving that tbe prosecution would be de
clared malicious. After charge from tbe
Judge to this effect, the jury retired, and
shortly agreed upon a verdict as follows:
We, the jury, find the prisoner not guilty,
and tho pfosecation malicious.”
State vs. Sarah Hamilton,colored, indicted
for burglary in tbe day time, was called, Mr.
George W. Owens representing tbe accused.
The prosecutor was a negro, who alleged
that the accused had entered his room and
stolen therefrom divers articles. Ono other
witness was examined for the State. The
defense introduced no witnesses, and the
case was submitted to tbe jury without ar
gument, who thereupon retired.
The case of Jerry Williams, negro, in
dicted for burglary in tbe day time, was
then called. The prosecutor was S. E. J.
Crawford. Col. Atkins represented the ac
cused. It was established by tbe testimony
that some of the articles stolen were found
in possession of the accused, and ho could
give no satisfactory account liow he had ob
tained them. Several witnesses wore ex
amined for the defense, aud alter argument
the case went to th ) jury at quarter to five
o’clock. At half-past seven it was announced
the jury bad agreed, ami they came into
court with a verdict of guilty, accompanied
by a recommendation to mercy. Williams
was then sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary.
The next case called was that of the State
vs. Charles Wilson, negro, indicted for an
assault with intent to murder. Mr. John
D. Carter appeared as counsel for the
prisoner. The prisoner was arraigned and
desired to plead guilty to assault and bat
tery, but this was not accepted as
a plea to the indictmeut, and the prisoner
then pleading “not guilty” to the charge,
was placed upon trial.
The State introduced two witnesses, oue
of whom was John Jackson, colored, tho
prosecutor, aud a pretty clear case of an
unprovoked assault with a razor was made
out. Defendant put up several witnesses,
whose testimony amounted to nothing
further than an attempt to establish provo
cation. Two of these were negroes, who
were brought from jail, being at present
confined there for misdemeanor. Mr. Carter
presented the case for the prisoner in a well
considered argument, the atm of which was
to impress tho jury that the element neces
sary to sustain a charge of intention to com
mit murder did not enter into this
case; the accused being under the
influence of liquor at the time:
Solicitor General Lamar made a most tell
ing speech, in which the heavy increase in
crime among the negroes from idleness and
dissipation was forcibly depicted. At tor
the charge from the Judge the jury retired,
but were absent but a few minutes when
they returned with a verdict of “guilty.”
The prisoner was thereupon placed in the
dock and sentenced to nine years in the
penitentiary.
The jury in the case of the State vs. Sarah
Hamilton* above noted, came into court
about teu minutes past 6 o’clock. Laving
been out Biuce lj o’clock. Their verdict was,
“guilty, with a recommendation to mercy.”
Sarah was at once arraigned anil sentenced
by the Judge to three years in the peniten
tiary.
The case of the State vs. James Francis,
colored, indicted for assault with intent to
murder. N. C. Collier, for defense ; Solici
tor Lamar for the State. The case went to
the jury about quarter past eight p. m.,
when the Court took a recess to allow them
to consider upon their verdict.
At 9 p. m. Judge Tompkins reappeared
in court, but the Jury not having agreed and
there being no immediate prospect of their
doing so, an adjournment was made until 10
o’clock this morning, the jurv. Laving the
privilege of bringing in a sealed verdict if
they settle matters during the night.
This morning the court will hear motions,

Au KnterpriftiiiK Home Jlanufartory.
Passing down Bay street yesterday morn
ing, we wore attracted by the bnstle aud
activity observable about the manufactory of
Mr. J. H. Uuwe, and dropped in to chat a
few moments with the enterprising proprie-
t jr, who by energy and attention lias built
up a llouri.-liing business, and established in
Savannah a branch of industry that is no
inconsiderable value to our public. We
found all bands busily engaged iu packing
and shipping goods, whilst in tbe bakery
delicious ci ackers aud biscuit wore betug
turned out iu immense quantities
and with great. rapidity. The estab
lishment carries a stock of six hundred
bariels of flour, aud on Monday last this
average was increased to 1,100. Forty bar
rels of flour are baked on an average every
day, and when occasion requires this can bo
increased. The facilities which Mr. Ruwe
possesses enables him to supply orders for
biscuit, crackers, ginger snaps, lemon
cakes, etc., at better figures to tbe whole
sale trade than can be obtained by dealing
with Northern firms. In regard to quality,
they are fully equal to any brought iutrrtliis
market, aud by many are considered supe
rior. The advantage dealers hero enjoy is
that they can have an order filled at a few
hours’ notice, aud get their goods perfectly
fresh.
Mr. Ruwe is also doing an extensive busi
ness iu the manufacture of candies, ami is
supplying Florida, Charleston, and various
towi s in Sonth Carolina with these goods,
and iu every instance satisfaction has been
given.
We are pleased to learu that our Savannah
grocers, realizing that they can obtain just
as good, if not better, articles at Ruwe’s
bakery, are giving their patronage to this
home institution.
Dealers should consult Mr. Ruwe before
sending North, as they will find that both,
in regard to terms and goods,4teey can do
as well at home. Philadelphia prices will be
duplicated by him, and the fact that he has
two of tho best cracker bakers in tho coun
try is guarantee that satisfaction will be
given.
KmciipimI Florida Convicts Captured in
Muvnnnnli.
In Wednesday’s News a full account was
given of the capture by tho police of four
negroes concerned iu the ribherj of J. L
Zellincker’s store on Monday night,
and tbe subsequent discovery of
other burglaries. The evidence
against these parties is complete, aud tliore
is every probability that Chatha t county
will not be long troubled with their
presence, as tho Superior Court is in ses
sion, and such cases sro disposed of expe
ditiously.
Yesterday, Sergeant Leonard received a.
note from Deputy Sheriff Johu H. Browr -
of Duval county, who had seen tho *ccoi
iu the News, stating that two of the
groes, Charles Wilson and Solomon Jackson,
were escaped prisoners from Jacksonville.
Wilson had served out one term in
tho State prison at Tallahassee,
and was under sentence for twelve
mouths iu the jail at Jacksonville, when he
made his escape. Jackson, although a mere
youth, had served ono term in the county
jail for burglary, and was iu custody for a
similar offense when he made his escape.
Ho broke into the same store, for the rob
bery of which he was first convicted, the
very night he escaped, aud left his hat be
hind, which was identified.
Solicitor General Lamar will doubtless
renu mber these little incidents iu tbe career
of these two thieves,when they are brought
up for trial in the Superior Court.

In this connection we give, as of gem ral
interest, the following rulings in regard to
section 9 of the amendatory bankrupt law,
passed June 22, 1874. It provides:
First. 1‘hat a bankrupt shall be require'
to pay no portion of his debts unless the
same are proved by deposition in bank
ruptcy in regular form.
Second. That a bankrupt shall not bo re
quired to pay any portion of a debt foi
wbich he is bound as surety, though regu
larly proved.
Third. That a bankrupt shall surrender
assets sufficient to equal 30 per cent, of all
debts proved (not existing) against him,
upon which he is liable as principal debtor,
but one-third in value of such creditors
proving debts can agree to discharge the
bankrupt, without tho assent of the re
maining two-thirds iu value of creditors
who have proved debts.
The result of this condition of the law
that the bankrupt is really required to pay
only 10 per cent, upon such debts as may be
proved against him; in other words to pay
30 per cent, upon one-thiril of the debts
proved, aud nothing upon the residue.

Capture of n Mewspnper Thief.
For some time past numerous complaints
have been made by the subscribers to the
Morning News of not receiving their pa
pers, aud yesterday the carrier on one of the
routes discovered a m»gro boy stealing a pa
per wbich had just been left. The thief
tried to gi-t off by statiuggtLat he was em
ployed in tho house and was only getting the
paper for his master, but the cook, who
was up, proved that he did not belong on
the premises, aud he was therenpon taken
to the office and treated to a dose of belting

Ah KnierprininK Denier in llhle**— A Nice
ItiiNincftM Broken Up.
The negro Thomas McClellan, who wa:
arrested on Thursday for stealing ilides, of
which mention was mado in the News yes
terday, it appears has beou making a busi
ness of stealing bides from the Boston
steamships for some tune past, and not
until Thursday was it discovered who tbe
thief was. Magistrate Smith aud bis ofii-
ccrs have suspected Thomas, however, and
put a negro man on the watch for him, aud
Thursday he reported to Magistrate Smith
that Thomas bad come to town with a boat
load of hides. Tire Magistrate proceeded to
the wharf and questioned him as to the
ownership of tno hides, when ho replied
they belonged to Mr. Loillie. The Magis
trate called ou Mr. Ledlie aud asked if he
was expecting any hide^4tom the country,
and he said no. but that he had just pur
chased some from a negro, who was to bring
them up from the wharf. He was requested
not to pay for the hides until he saw him
further about it, aud went away. Later in
tbe day he called on Mr. Ledlie, who said
the hides had arrived, aud upon au ex
animation of them it was found that they
were a lot shipped by Mr. Ledlie to Boston
tbe week previous, the marks having been
rubbed off all but one of tlio hides. Thomas
is a notorious thief; only a short time ago
ho stole 8omothing from a Bay street
merchant aud took it to another place to
soil, where it was recognized as the properly
of tho merchant. The case will be in
vestigated by the Superior Court, aud
Thomas will probably go where the wood
bine twinctli for fifteen or twenty years.
liobbcd in a Negro Den.
Amy Brown, an inmate of that notorious
den kept by Jane Tarlton, ou Coopershop
lane, was arrested yesterday ou the charge
of larceny from the person, aud sent to jail
by Magistrate Russell. It appears that a
white man, who is probably a stranger in
these parts, was enticed into tnis den on
Thursday night. He very foolishly spent
$2, and allowed them to see that be had
more money about him. Discovering shortly
alter leaving the den that he had lost twen
ty-eight dollars, he went to Magistrate Rus
sell’s office and had the girl arrested, as
stated above. She had invested the money
very extensively in dress goods, stockings,
towels, false hair, etc., etc., all of which she
had when arrest* d. She turned them over
to the officer, and acknowledged that they
had been purchased with the stolon money.

Reported Annum*! nut I on of One of
Carrie’s Crew.
It was rumored in Augusta, on Thursday
night, that a white man employed on the
steamer Carrie, which left Savannah for that
city on Wednesday, had been shot and
killed by a party of nogroes iu ambush at
some point on the river. The rumor allegod
that on the last trip of the steamer to Sa
vannah, the white man had killed a negro
in a difficulty, and his friends had gathered
together determined t * revenge his death,
an i on the return trip met the steamer
about fifty miles below Augusta, and killed
tho white man ns above stated. No particu
lars could be obtained in Augusta, but the
Carrie trill be here to-day when something
definite may be gleaned.
Splendid Show of Beef.
The popular stalls of Mr. James L. Agnew,
in the market, will present a most attractive
sight to-day, being dressed with a supply of
as fine beef aB one could possibly desire to
see. It is nothing uncommon for Agnew to
have splendid beef, but the supply which he
has just received is, if po-s’ble, superior in
quality and appearance to any tnat has been
oflered this season, aud will uud mbiediy be
iu brisk demand. No oue fond of choice
beef will pass his stands to-day without
securing a supply for tlie morrow’s break
fast and dinner. ’ He has also a very excel
lent supply of mutton, just received by
steamer, m fine order. If you would uot
miss this opportunity to procure something
really good, call around early.
Destruction of a Saw Mill by Fire.
About two o’clock in the morning of
Thursday fire broke out in the saw and
lumber mill of Messrs. Sullivan A Hull, on
the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, com
pletely destroying the structure and about
60,000 feet of lumber. There was but small
insurance on the machinery, and hence this
disaster will entail a heavy loss upon Messrs.
Sullivan A Hull, who are known as among
Savannah s mo*t enterprising business men.
The origin of the fire is unknown at pres
ent, and although it may not have been the
act of an incendiary, the hour at which it
was discovered favors that supposition.

To tbe Real Kntale Owners.
Tho City Marshal having advertised for
sale the property of certain persons who
refuse to pay the illegal and nnjast tax im
posed ou real estate, it behooves all parties
interested to come forward immediately and
take such action as will cause the city au
thorities to do what is right, and let tbe
poor man have equal rights with the rich
bondholder. What we demand and must
have is, “equal taxation according to tbe
law of Georgia.” Why should the bond
holder, who is worth his hundreds of thou
sands, go free, while the poor devil wh-
owns a little homo to cover his hoa*l be as
sessed 2j per cent. ? Is tbore any justice iu
this? We believe in everyone living within
his means, and let the authorities so con
trol the expenses of the city that they can
bo met with a moderate rate of taxation.
to acknowledge the right of ibe city to
“*mpt certain proparty, but at the same
ie this privilege must not he abased,
why not tax the banks? Did they con
tribute indirectly funds for controlling the
election? or do they discount the illegal
notes of the Mayor at only 13 per cent, per

ami think tho time h:is come when these

A Nnd Cane of SullerinK and Destitution.
Ou Thursday morning a poor woman
named Mrs. Anne Kelly, applied to the
Mayor of Augusta for a pass to Savaunah,
stating that she was anxious to reach a broth
er and brother-in-law who live iu Florida.
She was from Graniteville, where her husband
died about six weeks ago, leaving her with six
children, tbe oldest of whom is onlo teu years
ol age. This child, a girl, was afflicted, says
the Chronicle, “with some disease wbich
had caused it to lose its voice and the use of
its limbs ; another, five years of age, was
dumb and a cripple, and the youngest, a
baby, was subject to spasms. The mother
carried the oldest girl in her arms ; one of
the well children moved along with difficulty
with the dumb aud cripple girl, while tbe
remaining well child carried the baby. All
were barefooted aud in rags. There were
two pair of twins among the six. The Mayor
gave tho unfortunate family a pass. As
sistance was alto rendered them by several
' parties.

Premature Lorn of the Hair,
Which Is so common nowadays, may be en
tirely prevented by the use of “Burnett’s Co-
coaine. It has been used in thousand* of cases
where the hair was coming out iu haudfulls, and
has never failed to arrest its decay, and to pro
mote a healthy and vigorous growth. It *s at the
same time uttriva’led as a dressing for the hair.
A single application will render it soft and glossy
for several days. nov20-SaAW
A Porcelain Set
Is handsome as a dinner service, but a set
porcelain teeth is of no service at dinner.
To avoid all necessity for false teeth, use
SoKodout daily to preserve and beantify the
natural ones. It renders the gums rosy and the
t«*eth indestructible.
