superin Tooiner of ’ the Post
Ottice Carrier’s Delivery Charaed with
Opening I.etters—His Examination
Before Coinmis-ioner Erwin To-Day.
An official inspection of the post office
was made last Friday night and Saturday
morning by I'nited states Post office In
spector Booth. The accounts of the dif
ferent departments were found correct,
with the exception of a shortage of sl9*
in the stamp account of L. B.Too*ner,coL
ored. superintendent of tile Carrier's De
livery. roomer was called before the lu
pe tr ami charged with the deficiency,
but denied being able to explain
how it occurred. He was given a
sufficient lime to make up the amount
which was done by his lriends, and the
matter was supposed to tie settled. No
mention of the shortage was made outside
■ f the office and the public were unaware
that any trouble had occusred.
iin Monday the Inspector received an
official letter front Atlanta postmarked
Saturday night, and which should have
Veil received here Sunday morning. The
length of time in its transini—i"ii
and the delay in its delivery, being
over fifty hours after it was mailed,
excited his suspicions, and. upon a close
examination of the envelope he became
satisfied that it had been tampered with.
Tootuer's movements were watched, and
Tuesday night the Inspector announced
that he would leave the city. He
boarded the train for Atlanta on
the Central Railroad and went sev
eral mile- into the country, where he
remained all night. Yesterday morning
he Uiarded the early train for the city and
plaeed in the Atlanta package of letters
to savannah a “test” letter which
le- had prepared and addressed to himself
in an official envelope. On his arrival
tiie "test" was traced into Toomer’shands
with other letters, and afterwards placed
among the mail in the private office of
iieneral McLaws. Upon inspection it
was found to have been opened, and hav
ing lieen detained by Toomer, the ovi
dence pointed conclusively to him as hav
ing committed the offense.
An affidavit was made by the Inspector
liefore United States Commissioner Er
win, and Tooiner was arrested on a war
rant by I'nited states Marshal Strohbar.
lie was at once removed from the office,
and gave bail for his appearance before
the ( ommissioner to-day, Altiert Jack
son. colored, of the firm of Jackson A
Johnson, becoming bis bondsman. His
examination will take place at 4 o’clock
this afternoon, when interesting develop
ments are anticipated.
There has lieen considerable complaint
in the delivery of registered letters, and it
was in reference to this matter that the
correspondence which Tooiner is charged
jfWith o[tening was being carried on be-
I tween the Ins|tector and the head of the
i department at Atlanta.
The .arrest is a surprise to the friends
! Tooiner, by whom he has hitherto been
r. garded as an honest and faithful official.
Matters have, however, been reported
j to have lss-n going wrong for some time,
and the examination will probably de
velop the extent of his crookedness.
■ Toomer has occupied a prominent posi
tion among the colored people. He has
bt-en connected with the l’ost Office De
partment for the past fourteen years; is
Adjutant in the Georgia Battalion, color
ed. and is a leading memlvor of the st.
'tepheu’s colored Episcopal Church. lie
has been regarded as an influential col
ored politician, and was one ot the famous
< hicago :n;. He has also held high posi
tions in several colored secret organiza
tion.
HEAVY SHIPMENT.
Thirty-four Car Loads of Fruit and Veg
etable- Shipped to New York Yester
day.
Yesterday morning thirty-four heavily
laden cars of Florida and Georgia grown
! fruits and vegetables reached the city,
: and within two or three hours afterwards
j had Is-en unloaded and the contents
trasferred to the steamship Tallahassee,
which sailed for New York early in the
afternoon. The report of the Savannah.
Florida and Western Railway shows that
on the li-t then* were crates and 117
barrels of vegetables and one crate of
peaches. There is no doubt that nearly
the entire shipment will reach its
destination in excellent order.
The consignment is an unusually
large one, and indicates that
the growing of this kind of produce is
lieing encouraged iiy the certainty that
the railway company mentioned is able
to furnish safe and speedy transportation
for all that is grown for the Northern
markets, and that the vessels of the Ocean
Steamship Company can move them with
the least |>ercentage of loss.
The Championship Prizes.
The base ballists are evidently not los
ing -ight of the handsome prizes to lie
awarded to the club winning the cham
pionship of the State association at the
close of the season. The handsome rose
wood bat offered by Messrs. Appel Bros,
is now on exhibition in their windows, on
Congress street. The bat is of the finest
wood, mounted with two heavy silver
bands and a silver inscription plate,
and provided with a satin-lined
morroco ease. It is valued at over S3O.
The two prize flags, already mentioned
in the News, to bo awarded by Messrs.
Joyce A Hunt, will lie on exhibition the
last of the week. They are of silk, twelve
by thirty inches in dimensions, the upper
half lieing of bright red and the lower
half blue. A handsome embroidered de
sign. representing two crossed bats and a
ball in the centre, has been worked on
each sule. and the inscription, "Champ
ions, 1 S.NV' with a blank space for the
name of the club when the award is an
nounced.
Sugar Cane in Clinch and Effingham
Counties.
Commissioner Henderson’s crop report
front Clinch cdunty says: “Sugar cane
is looming up as the crop for Clinch
county. A sugar refinery at Savannah
would stimulate production 400 percent.”
And that from Effingham says: “Sugar
cane is the best paying crop in this coun
ty. and if the seed had kept good there
would have lieen 15S per cent, planted
this year instead of so as reported.’’ The
same rejiort says; “The tur[>entine
farms are destructive to farm labor, ami
we will Ik- short for several years until
they kill all the timber. It will take but
a few years to get through with the tur
lientine. Much of the timber is dead
now. The planting interest has been very
materially injured in this section by the
turpentine farms, which is a very iarge
inti-rest here at present.” This complaint
is general in # tbe turpentine farm regions.
The Olid Fellows* Pienic.
ilaupt Lodge No. .Vv, I. O. 0. F., had a
picnic yesterday at Montgomery. The
weather was anything but pleasant, but
in spite of the rain the members and their
families and a large number of friends
went to Montgomery, where the day was
spent, and from the report of those who
were there the occasion was as much
enjoyed as though the sun had shone
brightly. The ample accommodations
and shelter at the place selected by tin 1
committee protected everybody from the
inclement weather, and amid the dancing
and other enjoyments the day passed most
pleasantly. The brethren deserve great
credit for tbe success of the celebration
under what to many would have been dis
couraging circumstances.
Chalybeate Springs, Oeorgia*
We take pleasure iu calling the atten
tion of the readers of the Morning News
to the announcement of the Chalybeate
Springs, Meriwether county, Ga. This
delightful summer resort is well-known to
Savannahians, and will be especially re
membered by the memliers of the Chatham
Artillery and their Iriends. It will accom
modate 400 guests, and its tables will be
supplied with the best the country affords.
The water cannot be excelled, and the
baths are the tincst in the South. Those
who are on the lookout for summer quar
ter- should read the advertisement, which
will give them further particulars.
Decoration Day at Heaufort.
The steamer Sylvan Glen, with the par
ty of colored exeugjionists who left the
city for Beaufort late on Tuesdey night,
returned to Savannah last night. The
work of decorating the gravesof the Fed
eral soldiers at Beaufort was somewhat
interfered with by the rain, which also
obliged the party to keep in-doors or on
board the boat nearly all day.
A Powerful Tight.
The illuminating power of a single
electric light is well demonstrated by the
one in Lafayette square. It is on a mast
sixty feet high, and throws a light several
blocks each way. With towers or masts
“bout seventy-five feet high quite an im
provement can lie made in the single
lights.
Durkee's Salad Dressing is the best
thing of the kind ever sold. With it su
perb salad of any kind can be made with
out any delay or trouble. It is also one
of the best sauces for cold meats.

Negroes Attempt ills to Burn Property on
Margaret Street.
About 11 o’clock Tuesday night a lady
living on Margaret street had occasion to
step across a porch in the rear of
the house, when she saw a
light in an adjoining yard. but
supposing it to be a . torch
paid no attention to it at first. Very soon
-he heard a man say, “They're all asleep,
shove in some more." Her suspicions
were aroused, and, calling the family
living on another floor of the house, a gen
tleman proceeded to open the door leading
into the yard to discover what was the
matter. " Knowing that a ferocious bull
dosf was kept in the yard he waited a
moment. The lady who at first made the
discoverv remained on the porch, and the
men in the yard.who proved to be negroes,
on hearing the noise made in opening the
door juipped ov e r tlie fence and fled.
An investigation showed a box
filled with burning straw placed against
an outbuilding. The light, supposed to lie
a torch, was the burning material. No
box was left in the yard at night, and it
is supposed the parties threw the one
found over the fence and then placed the
straw inside, to which they evidently re
ferred when thev were heard to say.
“Shove in some more." The flames were
well under headway, and in a few minutes
more would have burned through the box
and communicated to the build
ing. A pursuit was started in
the direction the fleeing incendiariA
had taken, but no traces of them were
found. It is not known for what purpose
the building was fired. But for the timely
discovery of the burning box a disastrous
fire would probably have ensued.
Southern Fruits and Vegetables.
The following information is given by
an extensive fruit dealing firm in St.
Louis, after thorough inquiry on the sub
ject, and may be of interest to Iruit and
vegetable growers in this section, espe
cially those who may design to ship to St.
Louis market:
The peach crop in the Southern States
will be exceedingly light this season. Ar
kansas, upon whom st. Louis reiies for a
large portion of this fruit, will not have
more than one-fourth of a crop this year.
The fruit lias lieen steadily dropping off
since the blossoms disappeared. Late
frosts were the prime cause that led to the
shrinkage. Tennessee and Mississipi will
make a little better showing, but neither
will market half a crop. In portions of Tex
as late freezes made a clean sweep, but
some localities claim half a crop. Southeast
and Southwest Missouri claim some fruit,
and so does Kentucky. Southern Illi
nois claims half to two-thirds of a crop,
but the balance of the State will not have
enough for the local demand. Some ot our
St. Louis country friends claim a nice
crop, while others find their trees perfect
ly barren of fruit. The majority of them
will have nothing lietter than a sprink
ling of see*dling fruit. Fruit is reported
good at various points in Arkansas and
Tennessee—away off from the railroads,
where it is usually dried or evaporated—
part of which may find its way into mar
ket this season. Northern Arkansas
claims a number of fine peach orchards
that promise a fair yield, and speculators
are buying them up rapidly.
The plum crop, like the peach, is steadi
ly shrinking—dropping off the trees from ,
the same causes apparently—insects and
unfavorable weather, after blossoming.
There will be a fair showing of early ap
ples in the Southwest, all of which will go
to Northern markets.
The supply of strawberries in the South
this season is fair both in quality and
quantity. Tennessee has the liest truit so
far as shown in the receipts, lieing un
usually large and firm and adapted to the
wants "of the order, which is even larger
than ever this season in St. Louis.
The supply of vegetables throughout
the South is unusually large. The crop of
cabbage, Irish potatoes, peas, beans and
tomatoes is far the largest ever known.
The new potato crop is already figuring
in a speculative way. Several thousand
barrels have been sold at Nashville to
Cincinnati firms—June delivery—for $2 25
to $2 50 jier barrel.
The crop of green peas in Arkansas is
immense, and is now flooding the St. Louis
market and leading out the other points
also.
The fruit and vegetable business gen
erally is spreading more rapidly in Ar
kansas than in any other State.
The City Water Pipes.
Editor Mont tin/ Xetcs: Curiosity the
: other day led me to where they were
making repairs to a Hurst pipe, and I
i can assure you I was surprised how in the
world the water passed through at all. I
i can safely say that two-thirds of the pipe
i was completely stopjied up with mud,
and apparently hard. Now, in my hum
ble opinion, that could He remedied by
having discharge valves located at the
head of each main, and alternately have
I them opened to discharge the mud and
sediment from them. The eity is bounded
by sewers,and Ido not think the expense at
tending it would lie very much; for if those
valves were ojienetl into the sewers the
mud would naturally follow the flow of
water, and in time our pipes would be
-1 come clear, and in cases of tire our en
j gines would reeeift e no damage by mud
! passing through their pumps, nor would
the manufacturing interest suffer every
time the water is stopped and turned on
again to have a solid mass of mud forced
into all the small pipes and become
choked so that it necesitates the pull
-1 ing down and renewing same. I hope
that steps will he taken to remedy this
state of affairs. A Sufferer.
Tapestry Work at the Brunswick Fair.
We take pleasure in publishing the fol
lowing correction of a mistake made by
our special correspondent of the late fair
at Brunswiek. Mr. Thomas Cullen, the
father of the ladies who exhibited the
tapestry work, is an employe of the Cen
tral Railroad:
You have mentioned in your paper that
Miss Mattie Cullen had oil exhibition at
the Brunswiek Fair line tapestry work,
and the picture of Gen. Washington took
the premium. The name was incorrect.
My daughter Maggie attended the fair.
She entered her own work in her own
name, and the picture of General W.
in name of my elder daughter Mary. It
is a very large life-size picture of him,
and my daughter Mary should have been
mentioned in your highly esteemed paper,
as there is no Mattie Cullen in the city.
The Brunswick paper, Maggie w rites us,
lias it Miss Mary Cullen, etc. Would it
not be lest to mention this, if not out of
place f Respectfully,
Titos. Ct'LLKN.
IntereMtiiiK to (irocers.
The fact that C. H. Doreett will sell on
the premises a good stand for a grocery
store, with a residence attached, should
interest all grocers who do not own their
own stand.
A comfortable residence, with sufficient
vacant land upon which to build another
house, will he sold at the same time. This
sale will take place this afternoon at
5 o’clock, on the corner of Montgomery
and Henry streets. The West Broad
cars will take bidders within a block of
the premises. Get off at Henry street.
This is a line neighborhood, in which
property is rapidly advancing, and hv
some it is considered the most pleasant
locality for homes.
With the assistance that can lie ren
dered by the auctioneer to purchase
through loan associations, there should
he a good competition on the part of our
citizens of moderate means who either
want homes or are looking for invest
ments.—Adc.

Store for Rent.
Owing to my removal to 159 Broughton
street, on the Ist of June next, the store
I now occupy will be to rent aud the fix
tures for sale. In order to remove as few
goods as possible I have put the knife
right into prices on all goods contained in
my present store. Now, if you want good
clothing, such as you don't always find
ready made, the material, trimming and
make of which is recommended by every
merchant tailor in the city, you have now
a chance to buy them at almost your torn
price. They must and will be sold. Hats,
shirts, underwear, neckwear, hoisery,
umbrellas, etc., at equally low price's.
This is no advertising dodge, but fact.
Come early, I expect a rush of custom,
and y "'ll may lose an opportunity to buy
good coods at such prices as are not ofteii

AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Southern Mutual Insurance Com
pany anl Its Be-erve Funds.
An imiiortant case has lieen called in
Clarke Superior Court in Athens. It in
volved the disposition annually of quite a
large amount ot money, and contained
some interesting points of law. It was
also remarkable in that it originated out
of the petition of a corporation to the
courts for direction as to the expenditure
of the interest upon a heavy surplus
fund, and was mainly a friendly suit in
which attorneys were employed on
both sides for’ the purpose of test
ing the case in all its merits.
Over a vear ago the Southern Mutual In
surance Company, of Athens. Ga.. filed
in the Superior Court of Clarke countv a
bill asking advice as to the disposition of
the interest upon their reserve fund. This
fund has. by virtue of exceptional pros
perity and fine management, grown into
something over a million dollars, and the
annual interest amounts to about one
hundred thousand dollars. For several
years the officers, through the board of
directors, were instructed to apply this
interest towards the payment of divi
dends, and for three years or more the
company paid enormous dividends —
sometimes as much as 05 per cent.
Finally some doubt arose in the
minds' of the directory as to the
propriety of such a schedule, and
prominent officers of the company
differed over the manner of disposing of
this monev. The question was asked
whether present policy holders were enti
tled to the interest of this fund, or whether
every man who had ever insured in the
company had an interest in it in propor
tion as the amount he had paid for insu
rance had contributed towards the swell
of this reserve fund. The question then
arose, to whom does this money belong?
If the interest on the reserve fund be added
to the principal, in the course of time
there will be a reserve fund so large as to
be unmanageable.
The difficulties of determining these
points were two-fold. First, there are
absolutely no precedents to guide, such a
case being unparuUulod in the history of
corporations. Second, the charter and
the by-laws of the company made no pro
vision for any such contingency, as it was
not apprehended that the surplus fund
would ever become so large. To bring the
matter properly before the courts for adju
dication, and develop all the points at
issue, the Southern Mutual have employed
Messrs. Pope Barrow. Cobbs and Erwin,
of Athens, and N. J. Hammond, of At
lanta, to represent the present stockhold
ers, while Messrs. Jackson and Lumpkin,
of Atlanta, and Carlton and Lumpkin, of
Athens, will carry the side of the old
stockholders. If the court holds that
every man who was insured in the com
pany in t#ic past is entitled to his share of
the profits, a still more complicated ques
tion will arise, who will find out how
much he is entitled to. A contrary de
cision would continue the dispensation
of the interest as before. On account ol
the unusual character ot the case, it ex
cites general attention in Georgia, the
Southern Mutual carrying risks in every
section of the State. It is lieing tried be
fore lion. N. L. Hutchins, Judge of the
Western Circuit. —Avgusta Chronicle.
THE ALABAMA EDITORS.
Arrangements for their Reception in At
ißWta.
The Alabama Fress Association will
reach Atlanta at 12 o’clock. Arrange
ments have lieen made to give them such
entertainment as the hurried occasion will
permit. At 4 o’clock they will be taken for
a ride through the city and suburbs, and
through the courtesy of our citizens, who
have kindly tendered the use of their car
riages. The drive will be led by a carriage
containing Mr. Stanley, the President of
the Alabama Press Association, Governor
McDaniel, Mr. E. P. Howell, and Mr. W.
<I. Jones. The party will leave the Kim
ball House at 4 o’clock and drive to West

ments at the residence of Mr. Howell.
After riding over the south side of the
city they will take in Peachtree street and
be the passing guests of Mr. Hemphill,
Mr. Finch and Mr. Grady.
At 8 o’clock at night the visitors will
be gathered at the Kimball House, where
in the breakfast room a lunch will be
spread, and the editors will have an op
portunity of meeting our merchants. An
informal’address of welcome will be made
by Major Livingston Mims, and respond
ed to by Colonel Denson, of Gadsden. Af
ter this the merchants and the editors
will discuss such subjects as may seem
to them fit and proper.
The advance guard of the association,
Messrs. Walker, Denson and Mathewson,
were taken charge of by Major Mims on
yesterday, and have, as a matter of course,
fell in love with Atlanta, The Alabama

Fashion Notes.
The yellow primrose, now the rage, was
Lord Beaconsfleld’s favorite flower.
The pretty zephyrs in “ginghans effets”
come in beautiful mixtures of strawberry
and olive, pale blue and cream, crossed
with hair lines of Venetian red; dark
hunter’s green and pink, and pale prim
rose and mauve, crossed with lines of
dark, golden brown.
Stylish young ladies now wear theChev
reuse collar, with the promenade costume
trimmed with deep Venetian cut-work or
guipure embroidery. The cuff to match
is a plain turnover, and is generally half
covered with a long glove. The lace bor
der, which is usually put on over a strip
of colored ribbon to form an officer’s col
lar and cuff, dispenses with the ruche or
frill of crepe lisse about the neck and
wrists. A small fancy jewelled brooch,
representing an insect'or flower, fastens
the collar,

Laughter.
There is nothing as healthy as honest
laughter. A gentleman who had recov

was asked by a reporter what
cured him, and his reply was, “I
stooped working and began laughing at
an advertisement that struck me as very
comical.” “What was it ?” again asked the
newspaper man. “Why, yon see, 1 know
something ol' the clothing trade, and I
laughed at the idea of clothing houses
who do not manufacture their goods un
dertaking to make people believe that
they can sell clothing as cheap as ‘■The
Famous' New York Clothing House, wjio
have several branches to manufacture lor
and sell retail at New York wholesale
prices; they are leaders of low prices, and
there is no use trying to get cheaper or
