INSURANCE RATES.
Action or the Cotton, Rice and Naval
Stores Merchants—A Conference With
the Banks To-Day.
The matter of increased insurance
rates on cotton, rice and naval stores
merchandise, and the insertion of the
average clause in all policies on these
products, is exciting a great deal ot in
terest in commercial circles.
There is a decided opposition on the
part of cotton and rice and naval stores
merchants to the increase of rates
and the insertion of the P C
but more esjweially to the I: Uer. !*
renders the policies to which it is
attached non-negotiable at the banks,
and in this way embarrasses
business. The committee appointed at
the recent meeting at the Cotton Ex
change. and consisting of Col. J. L. War
ren. apt. John Flannery and Capt. J. H.
Johnston, representing the cotton inter
ests, and Messrs. H. E. Grant. W. I>.
Waples and C. Lucien Jones, the rice
and naval stores interests, will confer
with the banks and insurance companies
to-day. with the view of securing a more
satisfactory arrangement. The local re;>-
resentatives of the insurance companies
state that they are not in
sympathy with the Tariff Association
in its recent action, but they are bound
bv its enactments, and there is no alter
native but to abide by its decision.
While no formal statement has been
issued bv the banks in regard to the mat
ter. it is generally understood that a
margin of fifty per cent, upon the
amount of the policy will lie
required in order to secure a loau here
tofore advanced e<|ttal to the full value ot
the policy. unit tee, in conferring
with the banks and insurance men. is also
empowered to invoke legislative inter
vention. A memorial has already been
prepared and will be forwarded to-day
to th*- Senator and Representatives from
this district petitioning their efforts to
secure the passage of a law repealing the
act requiring the deposit by insurance
companies of $25,n0 with the Comp
troller General Is-fore doing busi
new in the State, and also to the ex
changes in other cities of the State asking
their co-oi>eration in the movement.
Hie matter is receiving the attention of
cotton and naval stores merchants gener
ally . and it is reasonably expected that a
memorial, -ccunded by the leading cities
and commercial exchangt s of the State,
will exert an influence in favor of se
curing tie repeal of a law. the passage of
which was vigorously opposed by the
Board of l ud i writers at the time it re
ceived tin* sanction of the Legislature.
DllilHM Il AT t i;iAU HAMMOCK.
Thnr Colored Mm I p*et a Coat aml
One of Them Drowned.
Wednesday afternoon a party of colored
men. John Rivers, Henry Hamilton, and
Rouiitv Houston, decided to attend a pic
nic at Cedar Hammock, on the City and
■Mjburban Itailway. Arriving at the place
they procured a boat and went out in a
small stream near ly for a sail.
While in the middle of the stream Rivers
and Houston began to rock the boat, till
ing it with water Hamilton lagged them
to stop, that h“ was afraid of being upset
and drowned, liivers said, “I.pok here.
Hamilton, before yon gel out of this boat
you will know how to swim, won't you?"
At this juncture the boat was tilling rap
idly. and Rivers told Hamilton to bail her
out. which lie did. but the water kept
coming in. and the boat sank.
The occupants had to scramble for life.
Hamilton succeeded in climbing on top
the boat’s keel, while Houston swam into
the marsh, leaviust Rivers out in the
stream, where he was drowned after rc
|ieated efforts on his part to save himself.
His Imhlv was recovered yesterday morn
ing.
Cornet Sbeltall was notified of tiie oc
currence and held an impiest over the re
mains at the morgue. The jury rendered
a verdict of death from his own careless
ness. The remains were interred in the
colored cemetery.

yesterday afternoon between the two fa
vorite trotters. ••Young Dick," entered

heats, ‘•Young Dick” winning the tirst
heat in graceful anti spirited style in 3:0,,

There was a fair crow and in attendance,
and the track was, tor the season of the
year, in pretty fair condition.
A New Copartnership.
It will he seen by reference to the adver
tising columns of to-day's News that a
new copartnership has been formed to
exist under the iirm name of O’Hagan
,V Baker for the purpose of carrying on
the retail grocery business. Both of
these gentlemen are well known
in Savannah trade circles. Mr.
O'Hagan has for a long time been
identified with the boot and shoe business.
Mr. Baker has had an extended exjierienee
in the grocery trade, and for the past ten
years lias lieen connected with the well
known establishment of Mr. John Lyons.
I loth gentlemen possess excellent business
<|Ualifications, and will combine the ele
ments that insure a successful
trade. They have purchased the iuter
• st of Mr. J.‘ O. Watts in the store No. 31
Whitaker street, and on the Ist of Sep
tember will open w ith a lull and complete
-lock ot grocers’ goods. The Mokxixg
News predicts for the new firm a liberal
patronage.

The Augustin Dalys’ Performance.
The Augustin Daly Comedy Club had a
very successful rehearsal last evening at
Ford’s Opera House.
The past amusement season has l>een a
successful one for amateurs in Savannah,
and the Dalys, in a friendly spirit, are de
termined to’give a performance that will
compare favorably with any of those
given during the summer.
The cast for the plays has been care
fully selected, anil contains several estab
lished favorites. Four Savannah vouug
ladies will take part in the performance,
and their success at rehearsal is a guar
antee that they will satisfy the most criti
cal audience.
The club will continue rehearsing
steadily until the night of the perform
auee, and a correct rendition of the play
is assured.
(Shot at on tlic Louisville Itoail.
Yesterday evening as Mr. Augustus
Pratt, who keeps a store at the Canal
bridge, was accompanying Mrs. H. Hart
loge and her sister to their home on the
Augusta road, about two miles from the
city, and while opposite the store of Chris
topher Leemans, at the junction of the
Louisville and Augusta .roads, several
jicrsons concealed by the road side tired
four shots at them either from a pistol
or gun. The whistle of the bullets was
distinctly heard by Mrs. Hartloge, who
at first thought she was shot. It is gen
erally supposed that the parties who did
the tiring were negroes, as a crowd of
them were seen in the vicinity.
Commendable Sanitary Precautions.
The Sanitary Commission is taking
every precaution to guard against the in
troduction of contagious diseases into sa
vannah. An order has lieen issued that

THE FESTIVE DRUMMER.
An Important Member of the Commer
cial Community—Hl* Life on the
Road.
The Savannah wholesale trade is rep
resented ‘on the road by- al*out two hun
dred and twenty-five drummers, or com
mercial tourists, as they are more gener
ally called. The commercial tourist is a
necessity to modern trade, and his con
sequence in commercial circles is duly
recognized as a power. The Savannah
drummer “does up" Georgia, 1 lorida.
Alabama and some portions of South Caro
lina and Tennessee. The houses employing
travelers in this city do a business of at
least $7,000,000 per year. Over 50 per cent,
is made on the road by the gay and some
times aesthetic drummer.
The salaries paid traveling men by sa
vannah firms range from s*3 to $175 per
month. Their traveling expenses amount
to from $3 to $5 per day. and sometimes
higher, and are paid by the firm. Nearly
all of the travel is done by rail. In a lew
instances a buggy or wagon is used to go
to cross-roads and into the interior vil
lages.
The drummer is a regular bonanza to
the livery men—he is lionized by nearly
everybody whom he meets in small towns,
and never tails to make a “mash” w herever
he stops. He is oftentimes known as a
person who wears the most costly jewelry,
and is every inch a person of “cultuar.”
The Forest City tourist never fails to ob
serve the Sabbath, and manages to spend
it at some mountain resort or near a de
lightful spring. He takes his soda every
morning and declares it lietter than the
savannah river water he eats well,
dresses -well, and never fails to get in a
good day's work.
"What are your sales a month?” in
quired a Morning News reporter of a
commercial tourist yesterday.
“Sometimes 1 take orders for three and
four thousand dollars a month, and some
times less.”
“How do you fare on the road regarding
your meals?” asked the reporter.
“This is a question nearest my heart.
Sometimes we drummers have the pleas
ure of dining on roast lamb, beet" and
claret, and at other times we sit down
with aching hearts to a dish of pork
and hominy. When we eat i>ork
we rarely ever sell any goods tor a w eek
after—it poisons our whole system. Show
me a mail who eats pork, and I’ll show
you a man who can't reason three feet be
fore his nose," he remarked.
The drummer is a happy-go-lucky fellow
who takes everything as it comes, tme of
the laiys in savannah started out last year
on a salary of $75. While traveling in
Florida lie met a young lady, worth, it is
claimed, about sijtl,no<i. He talked her into
a business transaction and married her.
To-day he ow ns a large orange grove, a
truck farm, and a small trundle-lied with
a bright little boy squalling in it. He was
otieof the lucky boys. He was in the city
last Monday, and bought a bill of goods
from his old employer amounting ttst,T , *‘ > -
-We have one •dude' drummer in the
trade,” remarked a traveler lor a well
known house. *,He has twenty-six dif
ferent cravats, four hatsof different shape
and pattern, and six new suits of clothes.
H<-travels on his shape, but last year
while in Albany he tyent to spark his
girl and the faithful old sentinel—the bull
purp—grabbed him as he entered the gate,
ilis pride went before a fall, and since
then the ugly sear scuds many an aching
paiu to his heart, He no longer* wears
tights, but shies into Albany with trous
ers three times the width of the fashion
able cut.”
There are only two things a commercial
tourist dreads—poor sales and a prospect
of a mother-in-law—one he can overcome
by perseverance; the other, if the girl’s
mother is living, is a natural sequence.
A MONTH OF till ACE,
The Reprieve of the Negro George Wal
lace Until September gstli.
The official order from Governor Me
[>ani< 1 granting a reprieve of thirty days
to the negro tieorgn Wallace, sentenced
by Judge Fort at the last tcign of the su
perior Court to be hanged to-day, was re
ceived yesterday by sheriff Kouan.
The announcement of his reprieve was
made to the condemned man at the jail
yesterday morning, lie received it with
It great deal of feeling, and as stoutly so
ever protested his innocence of the crime.
There are grave doubts in the minds of
many as to whether Wallaoo is guilty <>t
the murder with which he is charged.
The evidence upon which he was convict
ed was in a measure circumstantial. In
view of this fact and the claim that the
prisoner is not of sound mind the Gover
nor granted the respite instead of the
commutation asked for until he could
give the matter a full investigation. Dur
ing the period of the respite he will satisfy
himself as to the justness of the sentence
as well as to the soundness or unsound
ness of the prisoner’s mind. The follow
ing is the official order:

Whereas, At the March term, 1882.
of Chatham Superior Court, George
Wallace was convicted of the crime of
murder, and sentenced therefor to be
hung oil Friday, 24th day ot August,
1*83; and, whereas, strong petitions have
been tiled before me, asking thai the sen
tence against said George Wallace iie
commuted, and lor want of time the case
cannot now lie maturely considered.
And it ulao being reported
that there aru grave doubts
of guilt of said defendant, and that
he is possibly non compos tiienliit: and
whereas, it is’then thought the defendant
is entitled to careful review ot his appli
cation for clemency, and that the ends oi
justice demand that the execution of
said sentence lie postponed; it is, there
fore, ordered tlpii a respite ho granted
this said George Wallace until Friday.
September 28th, 18*3, upon which day lilt.
Sheriff of the county of Chatham will pro
ceed to carry out the sentence of the
court in said case, unless otherwise

In<|ii<'st Over the Body of .tolni YVolilt
inan—The Verdict.
An inquest was held at the morgue yes
terday over the body ot John Wohltman,
who died at the hospital Wednesday night
from injuries received in jumping from a
moving train on the City and Suburban
Railway.
A number of witnesses, including the
parties who accompanied the deceased,
the conductor of the train and the road
master, were sworn. In the main their
testimony corroborated tin - facts already
stated in the Morning News.
Henry Hastedt testified that lie was
with Wohltman on the train. They asked
the conductor to slow up at the convict
camp, so that they could jump oil. The
conductor replied he could not do it, and
that they would have to go to the next
station.' Wohltman said he was going to
jump anyway, and in spite of protests,
leaped from the car. The witness saw
him fall and strike on his head. The train
turned a curve, and lost sight of him. As
soon as the next station was reached he got
off ana walked back to where Wohltman
jumped, and found him lying beside the
track with both legs broken and terribly
mangled. He said that iu falling he
struck on the ground and hounded back
on the rails under the train, Boad
master Foy, who was near by, was called,
and the injured man placed on a hand
car and brought to the city, when he was
taken to the hospital and died. The de
ceased was a native of Bremerhaven, Ger
many, where his father and mother are
both living. Alter hearing the testimony
the jurv rendered a verdict that deceased
came to his death by being run over by a
train on the City and Suburban Bailway,
and that it was the result of his own care
lessness.
The road was exonerated trom all
blame. The funeral of the unfortunate
man was attended front the Lutheran
Church yesterday afternoon, and the re
mains were interred in Laurel Grove
Cemetery.
Alow condition of health is common
with many who allow themselves to worry.
Mental anguish causes bodily sufferings.
Anxiety and care have broken down many
constitutions. A train of disorders usu
ally follow mental distress. Heart affec
tions, nervousness, sleeplessness, dyspep
sia, liver complaint, kidney troubles, etc.,
are among the list. A sure remedy for
relieving all mental and physical distress
is Brown’s Iron Bitters. It at once
strengthens every part of the body, mak
ing work a pleasure and care unknown.

The Forest Citys to the Front—A Picnic
that Ended in the Dark.
The fourteenth game of the champion
ship base ball series was played yesterday
at Base Ball Park between the Forest
Citys and Oglethorpe 6, and resulted in a
walk-over for the former club by a score
of 29 to 16 at the end of the seventh
inning. The heavy batting of the Forest
Citys accounts for the large score, and
it is clearly seen that the boys
in green are rapidly improving in
this point. Neither elub were at their
lst, but. with the addition of Monahan,
•The old reliable,” on second base, the
Forest Cttvs promise to show up at the
front next season. In the eighth inning
the Forest Citys went to the hat
and scored ten runs, with one
man out. ' when the game
was called on account of darkness. Two
doubles were recorded for Vaughan and
Monahan on first and second base, and
Monahan and Heyden on second base and
in left field.
The game was poorly played through
out by the Oglethori>es. The crowd was
small, and but little interest was shown.
The standing of the two clubs is now
three games won by Oglethorpes and
one by the Forest Citys, and one more
game to be played. The following is the
score:

THE DIXIES AT MACON.
Their Departure by the l-'a-t .Vlstil Last
Night Yu Exciting (tame Cooked for
To-Day.
The Dixie Base Ball club left lasi night
on tiie 7:30 train v ia the Central Railroad
for Macon, where the) meet the Augusta
Browns to-day. They were accompanied
by a large representation of base ball men
and friends and backers ot the nine.
Probably more interest centres in this
game than in any previous game of tiie
season, because of tiie result of the two
already played, leaving the game to-day to
decide the contest. Betting yesterday
was lively. Considerable money was
staked on both clubs, although, as a mat
ter of course, the Pixies were the fa
vorites. While Savannah semis up her
regular players, Augusta, it is under
stood, has changed her nine and intro
duced new men. Whatever changes may
have been made the champions are ready to
accept them and will enter the field with
her liter rielit at the front.
The boys took with tjem the beautiful
silk foul ’tjags, the trophies already won
as champions of the state Association,
and Savannah looks for their return with
a proud record of victory. The game
will be played this afternoon, and the
News to-morrow will report the result.
The order in which the nine will play is
as follows:
Shea, c. Smith, p.
Lewis, lb, Westcott, 2b,
Lamotte. 3b. Cash, s.s.
Jones, l.f. Cann, c.f.
Perry, r.f.
Among those who accompanied the
nine were Messrs. R. 11. Anderson, Jr.,
Reedy Steward, Andy Chisholm, Nat.
Hancock, H. Jordan, Thomas Pendorgast.
Louisiioodseli, Joseph Durant, Nathan U.
Platshek and others. The club return to
morrow evening.
The Augusta Chronicle ot' yesterday
says: “The Browns will carry a splendid
nine to Macon. They are all in pretty
good trim and are confident of victory. A
large number of their friends and delega
tions from Beaufort and other neighboring
towns will accompany them.”
Coal Freights.
Editor Mondmj Mews: This writer
knows nothing of the coal trade and its
contingencies, hut does profess to know
somewhat concerning coastwise freight
ing business in general, and therefore
begs to except to so much of the state
ment ot a ‘‘Prominent Coal Dealer” in
vour issue of to-day as attempts to assign
a reason for the alleged increase in
freight rates on coals.
A reference to your market reports will
show that during most of the past year
the stereotyped assertion has been
“vessels are scarce and wanted for coast
wise lumber freights.” and in fact there
has been no time during the season when
vessels could not find ready Lmsb
ness out of this port at good
figures, To state simply a fact is safe and
easy, but to assign motives or reasons is
a tar more difficult and problematical
matter. It is a furl that rates on coal
from the great centres ol' shipment to
Boston and the East have generally ruled
twenty to fifty per cent, above the rates
current to Savannah, although the dis
tance is about double to the latter named
place, is it not much more plausible to
attribute the increase in Southern rates
to this fact, rather than to the assertion
( not a fact > that lumber freights back are
difficult to be obtained ? “ R.“

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from Near
and Afar.
The survey of the branch road from the
Florida Southern to Citra has been com
pleted.
A railroad meeting and barbecue will
be held at Viniug’s Bridge, Jefferson
county on Thursday next, in the interest
i of the Augusta, Gibson and SandersviLle
Railroad.
Owing to the increased travel on the
Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax
Railroad, says the St. Augustine Weekly ,
the company was compelled to order two
more passenger coaches and two freight
cars, which are expected to arrive
shortly.
The Pine Level Times states that A. E.
Roberts, of Orlando, “was to begin the
15th to grade the railroad lands from
Ocala to Charlotte Harbor. He says the
road will run south, down the XV ashing
ton line, to Charlotte Harbor, and the
branch road from Kissimmee City to
Tampa will cross at Medulla, fifteen miles
west of Bartow.”
The Tavares Herald says: “Grading
on the Tavares, Orlando and Atlantic
Railroad progresses, and the work is
pushing rapidly toward the Apopka
Caual. which, it is expected, will be
reachi*d within the next two weeks. The
, grading force is being increased to one
' hundred and fiftv hands, and Mr. Dasher,
j the Superintendent, is confident that the
irrade will reach Apopka City before the
first of No\ ember.”
The Tallahassee Floridian of Tuesday
reports au interview with John E. Page,
Treasurer and General Manager of the
Thomasville, Tallahassee and Gulf Rail
, road, in which that gentleman stated that
the engineer corps was to begin on Mou
: day locating the line on the Lake Jackson
route; that as fast as bids lor the work
were accepted adequate force would be
put on, and that two steam excavating
and derrick cars will be used on the work,
the Capacity of which is a cubic yard and
a half at each dip ot the scoop or bucket.
An Atlanta special of the 21st says:
! “About the timg open war was made upon
State aid to railroads, Northeast Georgia
was clamoring for the building of a line
from Marietta through the mountain coun
ties to Murphy, N. C, The appeals were
such that they could not very well be ig
nored, and the Legislature made a com
promise with the public conscience by
giving the company building the proposed
roads a number of convicts in lieu of
money. Under this arrangement about
sixty 'miles of road have been completed.
Being now pushed north as far as Kllijay,
| the original company found it neces
, sary to procure Northern capital, which
was secured from Mr. I’ulsil'er, of the
i Boston Jlcrahl, and friends. These gen
-1 tleinen now own the road, and the dis
appointed original holders now seek to
deprive Mr. I‘ulsifer of the work of the
convicts, alleging had treatment, etc.
Bills on tiie subject are now pending in
the Legislature. The people along the
proposed line, however, whose only desire
I is to secure completion ol the road, no
; matter by whom, are warmly arrayed in
i support of the Bubbler people. A letter
| received from Gilmer county to-
I day from four leading citizens tells of a
I picnic given by tiie citizens in which
convicts mingled around as honored
! guests. “The convicts are faring
sumptuously,” says the writer. “To please
I these unfortunate men and to show our
I gratitude to the present managers of the
j road, on last Saturday our citizens joined
! in giving a basket dinner. Tables were
spread at noon and were varied and
abundant, and the fare was enjoyed by
the convicts. A number of short talks
were made by our citizens, also by Su
perintendent Hansmett and Capt. Bruce,
who addressed the convicts,’ Growing
eloquent, the writer goes on to say that
men never liked superiors better; they
are well fed and clothed, and perfectly
i satisfied with their treatment. They
, could not be induced to voluntarily leave
i the high times which convicts are having
i in Gilmer.”
How to I’ill on a Postage Stamp.
Washington Letter.
A man can always leant something if
he w ill only look about him. I was at
the Post Office Department the other day.
and I noticed an employe busy affixing
stamps to envelopes. Every time he
moistened the right-hand corner of the
envelope and then placed the stamp upon
it. 1 asked him if there was any advan
tage in wetting the envelope instead of
the stamp, and he said: “You notice that
I moisten the envelope,first; well. Ido
that because it is the right way. There
is a right and a wrong to everything, and,
consequently, there is a right and wrong
way to put on postage stamps. It is im
possible to moisten a stamp with the
tongue unless a small proportion of the
gum adheres to it. Now this gum is by
no means injurious, but then the depart
ment do not advertise it as a health food;
so the only way left is the right way, and
that is to moisten the envelope first.”
After listening to this brief statement I
felt as though l had emerged from the
deep shade of ignorance to the glorious
sunlight of knowledge,
■ ‘Look Out for the Engine,”
1 am a locomotive engineer, and have
been for twenty years, and am now run
ning on the Maine Central Railroad. Life
on an engine, as all engineers know, is
very trying to health and strength. The
continual jar of the engine, and strain on
our long trips all tend to weaken
the kidneys and urinary or
gans. Jn addition to this,
ten years ago, 1 met with a severe acci
dent, and 1 was taken from under my en
gine with severe Internal injuries, which
gave me great paiu. 1 was laid up for
six months, and suffered more than I can
describe, and more than I wish to suffer
again. I resumed work, but my kidneys
began to disturb me, and my nervous sys
tem seemed to be out of order. I could
not sleep, as my water demanded such
constant attention that 1 was kept awake
n great part of the night; to urinate
caused severe pains. I employed the best
medical skill in Portland and elsewhere
but continued to grow worse.
1 was persuaded to try Hunt’s Remedy
as I found that many of my friends In
Portland had used it with great success,
vet | bad no faith that it would reach my
case, However, I sent for a half-dozen
bottles at one of the drug stores in Port
land, and from the use of the tirst bottle
found a great relief. My water was much
better and the pain in the back and limbs
greatly relieved. 1 continued its use
until 1 had used ten bottles in all, and it
lias been to me a wonderful blessing, and
1 have deemed it a duty and privilege to
recommend it to those troubled iu a simi
lar njanner; and you may publish this for
the benefit of our railroad men and the
public in general, as it has completely
cured me, Geo. W, Bradley,
Engineer Maine Central Railroad.
Portland, Me,, May 12, 1881,
Cause for Alarm.
Alice E. Curtis, of Brunswick, Me.,
writes us on May 15, 1883: “That she has
suffered very much at frequent intervals
with kidney disease, and the attacks
were increasing in severity w> steadily as
to cause alarm. Her appj, Mrs. N. M.
Small, persuaded her to use Hunt’s
Remedy, and alter using several bottles,
Miss Curtis has been freed from the
severe aches and pains to which she had
long been accustomed; and further says
that Hunt’s Remedy never fails to relieve
the severe pains in the side and intense
backache, anil Miss C. pronounces it a
real blessing to woman for all kidney
diseases, and she cordially recommends
it for the many ills and pains jieculiar to
women.”
