THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
The Electric Light Company’s Contract
Accepted—Property Owners Hissatis
fied With the New Assessment Appeal i
to Council—The Matter to be Con- j
sidered in Special Session—Medical j
Service Asked tor the Police Barracks.
A regular meeting of the City Council ]
was held last night. In the absence of
Mayof Lester, who is in Washington,
Alderman Wilder. Chairman of the Coun
c.l. presided.
The matter of%oceptin§ the contract of
the Brush Electric Light and Power Com
pany. lichtir.cthe city, was brought up
and the report ot tne Committee
on Gas. recommending that it be ac
cepted, and that after April 1 the com
pany be paid the installments provided
for in the eontract, was submitted and
adopted.
The report was somewhat lengthy, and
contained a review of the system from its
start in May. 1883, and the defects which
at first hindered its success. Since tba new
works now in operation were erected
and placed in operation on the 6th of
February the committee had received
but two formal complaints of which they
could take cognizance in reference to the
insufficiency of the light, one locality
being on the extension of East Bay street,
and the other in the neighborhood of East
Boundary and Wheaton street* A light
had already been placed in position at the
former place, and one will be placed in
the other neighborhood in a few days. In
commenting upon the system the commit
tee. in their report, said:
• The fact that only these two com
plaints have been presented leads us to
the conclusion that the people are satis
fied with the manner in which the city is
[ lighted. The company has cheerfully
done its dutv. and has endeavored to tul
fiil its part of the contract in a spirit most
creditable to it. The committee is of the
opinion, from personal observations
j and from the general sentiment
:of the community, that the city
is splendidly lighted—better, in
fact, than it has ever been before. Be
lieving. therefore, that the Brush Electric
Light and Power Company has complied
with its contract, and has given and is
now giving a light equal to the standard
| required, we recommend that its contract
with the city be accepted.”
The system now includes 72 lamps in
j use, 17 more than when the city was first
! lighted in May, 1883.
j The Committee on Accounts reported
| hills against the city amounting to
i $20,174 17, which were passed for pav
j ment.
The Finance Committee, to whom jvas
J referred the petition of tobacco and cigar
| dealers for reduction ot specific taxes,
i reported adversely, and the report was
! adopted.
The Committee on Public Sales and City
| Lots reported favorably upon granting
! separate titles to certain lot to William
] Swoll.
The City Marshal reported a number of
pavements out ot repair, and was in
structed to proceed with the repairs in
accordance with the ordinances.
The matter of appeal from the judgment
of the Committee on Assessment to the
Council in the matter of assessment of
property was brought up, and three
appeals trom Messrs J. L.
Waldhauer, Dwight L. Ilolerts and
Ilobt. I*. Myers for Mrs. S. H. Myers,
were presented to the Council under the
new ordinance providing the mode of pro
ecedure in cases where property own
ers were dissatisfied with assess
or nts made by the assessors. The appel
lants stated that the assessment in one
case was more than the property was
worth. Alderman Mell moved that
the matter be considered by the Council
in official session, and that a special meet
ing be called for that purpose, and that
the property owners and Assessment
('ommittee be notified to present witnesses
to establish their claims. The motion
was carried, and a meeting will lie held at
an early day.
Alderman Minis submitted an ordi
nance prescribing the hours to be ob
served by barbers in keeping their shops
open on Sunday,and extending the present
limit of 10 o’clock to 12 o’clock* up to
which time customers may he received
and served. The ordinance was read by
the Clerk and laid over under the rules.
A resolution by Alderman Wilder was
passed authorizing the Committee on
Health and Cemetery to purchase the
necessary disimectants to be used in dis
inl ting, and placing the city in a sani
tary condition.
The Committee on Public Buildings
moved a resolution authorizing the erec
tion of a brick shed in place of the present
frame structure on the west side of Fire
man's Hall, to be used as headquarters
and stables for the Werner Hook and
Ladder Company, in compliance with the
recommendation of the Chiet Fireman.
A communication from the Chief of
Police stating the necessity of some pro
vision for medical service at the police
barracks was read and referred to the
joint Committee on Police and Health and
Cemetery.
An implication from Frank Holmes to
lease King's Island was reterred to the
Committee on Dry Culture.
Several applications to make sewer
connections were referred to the Street
and Lane Committee, with power to act.

vicinity of Lumber and Harris streets,
which is reported to be in a very un
healthy and unsanitary condition, was
referred to the Committee on Streets and
Lanes.
A petition from the hay and grain and
provision dealers, for a reduction of spe
cific taxes, was referred to the Finance
Committee.

Cheap Homes for the Workingmen.
This is a subject that is agitating the
minds of thinking people. Not only are
those interested who are to occupy these
homes, but to a greater extent are the
property owners of every city interested.
Out of the working people originates the
wealth of a community. The ability to
own a home should be placed within the
reach of the greatest possible number of a
community. Savannah needs a large
number of comfortable dwellings, the
price ol which will be in the reach of inen
of moderate means. The kind of house
most m demand is a two-story house with
a hall, parlor, dining-room, kitchen, and
aliout three bed-rooffls, with water in the
yard. In fact, just such houses as are
most needed can be seen at the corner of
West Broad and Roberts streets. These
houses will !>e sold on next Tuesday by
C. 11. Dorsett, and will be just the oppor
tunity looked for by many to get a com
fortable home.—. 4 dr.

The Benefits of a Residence on the
Salts.
During the business season the system
becomes run down by excessive applica
tion, and unless a change be had in the
summer less vitality and inability to pash
business with proper energy is painfully
apparent another season. Trips to the
mountains are sagely advised by sympa
thetic friends, but the attenuated condi
tion of the bank account forbids even the
contemplation of such luxuries. A
pleasant, healthy and economical substi
tute would be, if the place could be found,
a comfortable home on the salts, easily
reached within an hour’s ride from the
citv, where vegetables, fruit, eggs,
poultry, and the denizens of the briny
waters could be had for the raising and
catching. The mind runs over the possi
bilities of finding such a place, and is re
warded by reading the advertisement of
C. 11. Dorsett in to-day’s News.— Adc.

SAVANNAH’S COMMERCE.
REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT
OF THE BOARD OF TRADE.
What that Institution has Accomplished
During the First Year of its Existence
—lts Record of Commercial Transac
tions— Savannah’s Growth and De
velopment— Her Capital and How It is
In vested—The March of Her Industries.
The annual meeting of the Board of
Trade was held last night for the purpose
of hearing the reports of the President
afid Superintendent, and the various com
mittees in review of the commerce of the
port for the past year.
The Board of Trade is one of the most
progressive institutions in Savannah,
and is composed of representatives of all
classes of business. Its members mani
fested a deep interesf in the proceedings
last night, and upon hearing the compre
hensive review by President H. F. Grant
expressed their surprise at the immensity
of Savannah’s trade. In his report Presi
dent Grant says:
We commence the year with 122 members
and 2 attorneys. There have been 30 mem
bers admitted’anrt 11 resigned during the
year, leaving now on the roll 141. and 7 appli
cations approved will be voted on in a few
davs, which will make an increase of 26 fur
the vear. The most of these resignations were
caused bv those members removing from the
cite. It is a subject of thankfulness and con
gratulation that our membership has not been
reduced by a single death.
I’.v reference to the riyiort of the Finance
Committee it will be seen that we have met
all expenses and were enabled to invest $2,362
50, which now forms a part of our permanent
; fund, and they recommend for the coming
I year that the assessment be S4O.
1 * In July last the Board of Directors, believ
ing tnnt a larger and more convenient room
wa- neces-ary. instructed the floor committee
to ascertain if a more suitable place could he
obtained. Their report recommending the
leasing of the premises we now occupy was
accepted ami adopted, and we moved iulo our
new quarters on the first of October, 1883.
While the change incurred some additional
expense, it is more thau counterbalanced by
increased membership, convenience and com
fort to members.
Luring the fiscal year now ended the follow
ing amendments to our rules seemed neces
sary and were adopted:
AMENDMENTS TO RULES ON KICK.

Besides the aliove, the cotton trade, in which
many of oe.r inemli rs are also largely in
terested, but which is represented in all of its
details by the .Savannah Cotton Exchange,
amounts annually to about *35,000,000.
it would consume too much of your time to
comment on each of the products separately
that make up the receipts and exports at
Savannah, but I would invite your attention
particularly to those of recent introduction,
and whose rapid growtli merit more than a
passing remark, the most prominent of which
is naval stores.
Twelve years age a barrel of rosin or spirits
of turpentine was scarcely known in this
market, while to-day Savannah is known as
the largest naval stores market of the world,
our receipts for the past fiscal year being
132,314 barrels spirits and 660.499 barrels rosin,
the aggregate value of which is about *4,000,-
000 and ranks second to cotton in value.
The introduction of naval stores into sa
vannah furnishes steady and remunerative
employment to a large number of lalwrers the
entire season.
Before the introduction of this important
industry these laborers were compelled to
seek employment for the summer mouths in
Northern cities, or failing in this, to return to
their homes to pass the time in idleness. Also
our streets have no longer that Sunday-like
appearance during the summer months, but
are lively with numerous teams transporting
rosin and spirits to the various steamship
lines for shipment to Northern aDd European
ports.
As the natural outgrowth of the introduc
tion of naval stores in our city, there have
been two copper factories for making turpen
tine stills and one spirit barrel factory. Dur
ing the year these copper factories have turned
out from their works 170 stills at a value of
*85,000, giving employment to 50 hands.
The barrel factory has been only recently
started. Its machinery is perfect, and the
hands are being adapted to the work. The
present outturn is 200 barrels per day, and
gives promise to be increased to large propor
tions.
The grain elevator, with a capacity of 250,-
000 bushels, was put in operation last spring,
when the steamship ‘-Mareca,” the first ves
sel carrying grain from this port, was loaded
direct for Liverpool.
This pioneer movement comprised 250,000
bushels. Whenever the crops of grain iu the
section of country tributary to this port are
abundant, a larger movement will be done in
this line. This season, however, the drought
throughout this section created a very large
local demand which taxes the capacity of our
local dealers to supply.
There are four rice" mills, three corn mills
and otic flour mill located within the city, all
of which are doing a lucrative business.
The rice mills combined have elevating and
storage facilities for 670,000 bushels of rough
rice, and storage room for 20,800 barrels of
clean. They can turn out in the aggregate
510 barrels o"f clean rice per day and give em
ployment to 120 hands.
The combined capacity of the corn mills is
2,100 bushels of meal and grits per day.
The flour mill turns out too barrels per day.
In this connection it is proper to mention
that a factory for making rice barrels is in
full operation, and turns out annually
90,000 barrels, giving employment to thirty
hands. . ~ . , ...
Leaving for a time these subjects in which
vou are more closely connected, permit tne to
invite your attention to other subjects of gen
eral interest.
While our manufacturing interests are lim
ited and in themselves insignificant, yet taken
as a whole tliev are of considerable local im
portance. The Arkwright cotton factory
gives employment to eightv-five hands and
turns out weekly 12,000 pounds yarn, which
meets a ready sale.
The iron foundries and machine shops arc
working full time, and use up annually 2,000
tons of pig iron.
There are also brick companies which man
ufacture 8,000,000 bricks aunually, nearly all
of which are used up for buildiug purposes
in the city, only a small proportion being
shipped away.
Six cotton presses, located on the river front,
are ths property of close corporations, and
contain the most approved machinery for
compressing cotton for foreign and coastwise
shipments. Five of these are operated under
the name of the Savannah Cotton Press As
sociation. and their profits pooled. Their
business is conducted by a General Superin
tendent. and their facilities for dispatching
vessels is unsurpassed. The combined ca
pacity of the six presses is 6.900 bales per day
of teii hours, giving employment to nearly 600
hands. During the winter months, when tbe
cotton season is at its height, they are run
half the night, thus oftentimes increasing
’heir outturn 50 percent. Their storage and
wharfage facilities are exceedingly large and
ample, and vessels are loaded to eighteen feet
draught at their wharves. from whence theF
proceed direct to sea.
Their compressing is generally satisfactory,
and will compare favorably with that done
at any of the cottua ports.
There are three banks, one fcaciXng house
and one Citizen's Mutual Loan Company,
with an azgregate cah capital ot $1,612,000.
Connected with two of these banks are sav
ings departments, with deposits of $1,200,C00,
which is used for banking purposes.
The Central Railroad and Banking Company
has a capital of $7,500,000. This, however,
represents many miles of railway and various
other enterprises engaged in by that com
panv. No part of the capital is set aside for
banking purposes, and its business in this
line is 1 mited to the extent of its cash bal
ances.
The prosperity of a people can generally be
gauged by the permanent improvements in
real estate. Even an indifferent observer
cannot fail to notice the large number of new
buildings recently erected and in course of
completion in all parts of our city, many of
which are elegant residences. In this con
nection it is proper to mention that there
are seven Mutual Loan Associations
which lend annually $270,000, almost
the whole of which goes to the
permanent improvement of real estate. Thus
id a modest way these institutions stimulate
their members to own their homes, thereby
adding largely to the growth of our eitv. As
evidence of the confidence felt in the future of
our city, capitalists have invested largely
in the Electric Light ami Mutual Gas Compa
nies. Both of these companies have estab
lished their works withip the last year; the
latter has already laid some 18 miles of muins
in our city, and will be ready at an early date
to supply sas at reduced rates.
The Electric Light Works were destroyed
by lire in October, but have been replaced by
more powerful and improved machinery, and
our city is again lighted from It towers and
26 masts, varying in height from 50 to 175 feet,
giving a beautiful light, which is admired by
every one.
Tiie great fire of October 31, PB3, which
originated in the cotton warehouse on Farm
street, was most disastrous, destroying 3.300
bales of cotton and al>out 300 houses iu the
portion of the city known as ■•Yainacraw.”
making a total loss of about $500,000. It is
pleasing to record, however, that the owners
of the burnt district are rebuild ng a much
better class of houses than those destroyed,
and in tiiis respect the city lias been licnefited
: bv what at tin-time was considered a great
disaster. It is. however, painful to record
the death of seven persons w ho lost their lives
in the warehouse lire.
The magnificent and fast sailing steamships,
which are unsurpassed in their accommoda
tion-and appointments, plying between this
and Northern cities, have done much towards
the development of the agricultural interests
in this section, in the summer months large
quantities of vegetables are shipped to the
North and finds ready sale that heretofore
were left to rot in the fields. The rapid trans
isirtatiou offered by these routes has stimu
lated farmers to devote more attention to this
branch of industry, and many thousands of
boxes of vegetables and fruits go forwa-d in
their season, yielding much profit to our far
mers.
The nature of tiiis produce is such that it
must lie used soou after harvest. Therefore
we are in turu compelled to drain on the
North and West for similar aiticies late in the
summer and winter when our crops have dis
appeared.
FREIGHT !>I SCRIM I NX TONS.
The committee to whom was referred com
plaints of discriminations in rates of Height
to and from Savannah, and whose powers
were subsequently enlarged to embrace ex
cessive freight charges, and any other matters
involving the prosperity of the trade of the
city, especially those incidental to tiie cheap
and rapid transit of our products, have given
all matters brought to their notice such care
ful and considerate attention that 1 present
their report in full, viz:
The fact is that the trade of our city has not
kept nace with the increased productions of
tiie country; statistics show 50,0()j tons less
shipping entered at our custom house in 1882
than in 1881. and our foreign imports were
nearly SIOO,OOO less iu 1883 than in 1882. Savan
nah’s'natural facilities for a leadiog commer
cial port are unquestionably good, hut it
would not do to rely on these advantages
alone; we must make an effort to utilize them
or rival ports will take away our trade.
There was a time when we had the undisput
ed commerce of a large territory; we now find
competitors coming almost within the limits
<i# our city, bidding for our trade, and unless
we take steps to meet the emergency we must
suffer the loss, and in this competition indi
vidual interests should give way to the gen
eral good.
\V AT E R TKANS HO RT A TlO X.
Savannah enjoys jis low rates of freight by
the coast steamers from the North and East
as any city in the South, but we respectfully
call the attention of of the Board to a discrim
ination against Savannah in favor of New
York,made by the Georgia and Florida steam
ers to points South, such as Darien, Doboy,
etc. That this territory justly belongs to Sa
vannah trade is recognized by tiie merchants,
hut because of this discrimination, made by a
line of steamers supported by the merchants
of Savannah, we can only partially reach it.
\Ve recommend steps to he taken to re mo Be
this discrimination.
Your committee feel it their duty to call
the attention of the Board to the existence of
a compact between the railroad or roads and
the steamers plying, between Augusta and
Savannah, which prohibits tiie steamers from
carrying merchandise of any character to or
from Augusta, thereby depriving Savannah
of the aitvantage of cheap water transporta
tion. As incidental to the matter of river trans
portation,it is theopinion of the committee that
a railroad built under the Bluff would lessen
the cost of handling goods and facilitate
transportation as well as utilize u large num
ber of wharves and warehouses now practi
cally useless.
PILOTAGE.
To place Savannah on an equal standing
witli competitive points, it is imperative that
her commerce be relieved > f all unnecessary
burdens. Compulsory pilotage—a subject
which is now agitating the maritime world
in the opinion of your committee ought to be
abolished. The reasons for this law have long
since ceased to exist, and to burden our com
merce with this ancient encumbrance is not
in accordance with the spirit of the times. It
is the opinion of your committee that the rates
of pilotage in our port could be materially de
creased without detriment to those engaged
in tiie business. When values were inflated
in 1866, the rates were increased 60 per cunt.,
and remain the same to-day. lienee we can
see no reason why they should not be de
creased in the same proportion. Vessels char
tered in the Xortii to carry cargoes from ports
south of us, frequently, on account of our
high port charges, find it cheaper to pay for
ballast amigo direct to their loading jorts,
although passing within a few miles of our
bar, than to bring cargoes here and change
jiorts. Your committee believe this subject,
if properly laid before our Commissioners of
Pilotage, would receive due consideration,
and we respectfully recommend such ref
erence.
WHARFAGE.
The rates of wharfage having been estab
lished many years ago, your committee be
lieve them to be unsnited to the commerce of
the present day, and respectfully suggest that
they be revised at an early date, which would
result in mutual benefit to wharf owners and
shippers. To tins end avc recommend that
your iMittrd make petition to the City Council
to have said rates revised.
QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
The question of our quarantine, its regula
tion, restrictions and charges has had our
earnest consideration. The sub-committee in
charge of this branch of our investigations—
J. .1. Dale, Esq., Chairman—have laboriously
collected all the information within their
reach bearing upon the subject and have im
pressed the general committee with their
views, that after full and frank consultation
with tlie Board of Sanitary Commissioners,
and entering upon this investigation with
the conviction that the rules could be some
what modified or revised so as to meet the re
quirements of all interested, protecting the
health of our city without interfering with
the progress of our commerce, they now be
lieve it to be unwise for ns to suggest any
change iu tiie rules. Measures should lie
promptly instituted which would overcome
the difficulties. Some of our importers have
experience in their business with foreign
ports within the hounds o: infected or sus
pected latitudes. Our quarantine statiou
could be greatly improved and additions made
which would put our port ou an equal footing
with competitive ports. Your committee sug
gest to the hoard to advise the building of
wharves, warehouses, etc., with additional
appliances for handling cargoes and ballast,
which would much Improve our facilities,
anil while it would obviate the losses
and inconveniences now complained of,
would also enable our sanitary Board to en
force their rules and regulations. With a
view of carrying out these suggestions, your
committee respectfully suggest to the Board
to urge the Legislature, through our Seqator
and Representative, to appropriate a sum
sufficient to relieve our quarantine station of
its present expenses, Vonr committee do not
consider State aid in this direction as contrib
uted to Savannah aloue, as every interior city
in the State having business-relations with us
is equally interested in keeping our port free
from imported disease. We are glad to report
a very considerable reduction in the charge
for fumigating vessels at our quarantine sta
tion, ami we think a further reduction prae- ■
ticable auit beneficial.
STEVEDORE CHARGES.
Vour committee in their investigations as
to why the stevedore charges of our )ort
compare unfavorably with competing ports,
find the evil to he partially due to the in
fluence of trade societies establishing short
days of labor at high wages. This evil should
be abated, and the labor question placed on
the same footing iu this as in other branches
of trade, so that a day’s work should be as
much as a day’s work in other departments,
allowing stevedores to make profitable con
tracts at lower rates than at present they can
do.
TOWAGE.
The item of towage having been brought to
our consideration, your committee are free to
say that while they do not consider the
charges excessive, yet they range higher than
at many competing points, which tTiey think
is due to the fact that towage here is almost a
monopoly in our harbor. In regard to this we
have no suggestion to make.
BAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.
Your committee are pleased to report that
in the beginning of their labor they were led
to believe there were many and grave discri
minations against our city in the matter of
freight tarifl's. U|*on rigid investigation, inany
of these complaints have faded away, or have
been satisfactorily accounted for, and your
committee have only to make some sugges
tions in regard to the more perfect and satis
factory handling of merchandise at the rail
road warehouses iu this city.
First. The grain trade ask for more storage
room, and, at the Central Railroad, that the
up freight warehouse bo appropriated to this
Second. That truckmen deliver to con
signees on the outside platform. a
Third. That a telephone be placed in nie
Central Railroad warehouse where grain is
handled, and gas be used, to facilitate busi
ness, and a good scale be placed near the de
pot.
Fourth. That a mixed car of grain be trans
ferred on the same basis as a full car of either
corn or oats.
Fifth. That warehouse receipts, properly
signed, be issued on surrender of hill of lading
held by consignees.
In regard to trargportaUon of our staples—
rice, lumber and naval stores—the rates
charged seem to give satisfaction generally,
except in the case of naval stores. The la-t
season was unprofitable to those engaged in
that industry, and vnur committee v. as
specially instructed to' endeavor to get re
duced rates on the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway, the principal means of in
gress for these articles into our city. The
sub-committee—.J. P. Williams, Chairman —
to whom this duty was assigned, had several
interviews with the General Manager of the
railroad, but no conclusion was reached. We
believe this sub-committee has reported^.-
reel to your Board, and the matter has sir.ae
begn takes up at a general meeting of the
Board ®f Trade, who have appointed a com
mittee to confer with the Railroad Commis
sion.
On December 6 the resignation of our Su
perintendent. Mr. R. M. Rieve. was accepted,
to take effect December SI, 18S8.
Among the applicants to fill said vacancy
was Vr. Geo. P. Walker, who was unani
mously elected and entered on his duties Jan
uary !, USi, and lias performed all the duties
of his office with entire satisfaction to your
Board of Directors, and should he be a can
didate for re-election, it is hoped that his
salary will l>e made commensurate with his
ability and the dignity of the Board of Trade.
Tlie’frequent fires on ships loading with cot
ton is a subject of deep interest to every mer
chant of this city, and we recommend that a
committee be appointed to investigate the
origin of same, anti the Colt n Exchange and
the Board of Underwriters be invited to co
operate with the Board of Trade in their in
vestigations and suggest, if possible, some
remedy for tiie evil.
Notwithstanding our city has celebrated her
’’Sesqui-Centennial’’ a board of trade has not
until tlie past year been one of her institu
tions, hence we have no precedence to govern
us; and representing various interests.it is not
surprising that many questions of interest
arose, necessitating the frequent calling to
gether of your Board of Directors, and I de
sire to thank those gentlemen for tin ready
response to every call and their kind and re
spectful consideration of myself.
In closing t(jis report, your Board of Direc
tors tender you their pledge of a hearty sup
imrt in all’ matters of public interest and
their best wishes for tbe success of the Asso
ciation and its individual members.”

are suggested by the advertisement of one

and used as a range light by the pilots in

A SAD VIRGINIA ROMANCE.
The Trne Story of*a Too Passionate and
Unforgiving Father and a Proud Son.
Free Preen.
While visiting an old friend in a Vir
ginia village a month ago I attended wor
ship one Sunday at the parish church,
and was very much attracted by an aged
and handsome couple who sat in the pew
opposite me. The pastor preached a very
affecting sermon on the “Prodigal’s Re
turn,’' which, I noticed, affected the old
ladv to tears and had a marked effect on
the gentleman. I mentioned the circum
stance that evening to my friend, when
she related to me the following sad, trus
story:
Tiie old couple were Mr. and Mrs. Col.
D. They were both of the most aristo
cratic, wealthy families of Virginia. Col.
I). was an honorable, upright gentleman,
but very proud and passionate. He had
one son, “Gus.” bis onlv heir—a warm
hearted, generous, pleasing young man,
iust turning his twenty-first year. He
was well known throughout the county,
and was beloved by all who knew him.
lie inherited his father’s pride, but not
his violent nature.
About a mile from Col. D.’s residence
lived a gentleman between whose family
and the Colonel's a feud of long standing
existed. Col. D. had frequently warned
his son not, under any circumstances, to
visit any member of the gentleman’s
family. A daughter of the hated house,
on her eighteenth birthdry, gave a large
party, to' which all the young people
were invited, including the venerable
Colonel's son Gus. On hearing of the
party and his son’s invitation to it. he
sent for him and most positively forbade
him to attend. The son promised he
would not.
The invitations were for four o’clock,
as a supper on the lawn was part of the
programme. About three o’clock on that
day Gus called for his team, a splendid
pair of handsome grays, and ordered the
coachman to drive him. Some time after
his departure Col. I>.. who bad been away
since morning, returned, and, on asking
for his son, was informed by one of the
servants that he had driven out two hours
ago. The Colonel flew into a passion,
called for his hunting whip, mounted his
horse and rode swiftly towards his neigh
l>or'6 mansion. As he da9hed past he saw
his son’s team under the trees and cared
for by bis own coachman, lie kept on
to a small shady lane leading in an oppo
site direction from the house, when he
suddenly came upon his son walking with
a young lady, and, without a word, he
rode up, seized him and cut him several
times over the f.ce and back with bis
riding whip. “You ungrateful scoun
drel!” he said, “never cross my path
again.’’ The Colonel’s face was white
with passion as he rode away.
This happened over fifteen years ago,
and, although thousands of dollars have
been spent and every effort made to tind
some traces of the missing man, they have !
been ineffectual, and not one person wbo
knew him before has ever seen him since
that day. The sad truth was that the
Colonel’s son, it was found atterward—
had not gone to that party, but loaned his
team to a young friend to whom both his
father undhimself were warmly attached,
and who drove Gus as far as the lane
where L>is father met him and chastised
him in the presence of her he loved, and
whom he had accidentally met. Y.
