Yesterday a mule that was being
w rked to a cart containing a load of
attd, dropped from the effect of heat
an l exhaustion near the corner of Henry

was still unable to regain his feet, pro
ceeded to whip him unmercifully. Dur
ing the whipping the animal died. This
w.is a case worthy the attention of the

warrants issued upon the affidavits of
K. A. Weil anu Isaac 31. Frank, charging
him with “larceny from the house,” was
dis harged from custody yesterday by
Justice Waring Russell, Jr. The infor
mation relative to the arrest of AYilliams
and to the examination of the accused
before Justice Russell last Friday was
obtained in Justice Russell’s office from
a party supposed to know the particu
lars. It seems the examination was not
held on that day, although Williams re
quested one, for the reason that the case
was not fully worked up.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Alabama Gold Life Insurance Com
pany Sued Tor Paid Premium* and
Recovery of a Policy.
In the Superior Court yesterday H.
Fraser Grant brought an attachment
against the Alabama Gold Life Insurance
Company for certain sums paid as premi
ums to the company on a policy of life in
surance, also for the recovery of the sum
of $2,000 due on a policy issued to J. Wes
ley Taylor, deceased. Taylor made an
assignment of his policy to
H. Fraser Grant. The company
formerly had an agent in this city, but
after the enactment of the statute by the
Georgia Legislature requiring insurance
companies out of the State to make a de
posit of $25,000 this company withdrew its
agents, and the holders of the policies
were notified to pay their premiums at
the home office in Mobile. It was shown
that the plaintiff had used due
diligence in his efforts to make the re
quired payments, but that as some of them
bad not*reached Mobile by a certain hour
they were said to have been forfeited. The
jury returned a verdict tor the plaintiff in
the sum or S7BO 09 and interest on each
premium from the date of payment, and
also for the sum of $1,441 67 on the Taylor
policy.
An order was granted authorizing
Jacob Volaski to transfer his privileges
anil authority as trustee for the sloop
Annie to James Gardner.
The court then proceeded with the trial
of Ben Hudson, a negro who was indicted
for simple larceny, he having stolen a
cow from 31 r. Owen, on the O-reechee.
After testimony and the argument of
counsel the case was given to the jury.

THE ORPHEUS CLUB.
Formal Opening of Its New Rooms
Last Night.
The Orpheus Club formally opened its
new club rooms on Congress street last
night. Cards of invitation had been issued
and the handsome rooms were filled with
the members and invited guests. The
evening was spent informally. A pro
cramme had been arranged and was par
tially carried out, but without the ap
pearance of a formal entertainment.
The club comprises nearly thirty mem
bers, and has some of the best musical
talent in the city. Among the selections
rendered last night were a number of
vocal and instrumental solos, duets and
choruses. F. J. Kuckert played a beauti
ful zither solo of his own composition,
and in response to continued applause
played as an encore “Way Down
Upon the b’wannee River.” Eddie
Connor played a masterly violin solo. The
programme" comprised many selections
by performers whose efforts are worthy of
a’longer notice than can be given here.
A collation was served, and those who
were present will remember the occasion
pleasantly.
SAVANNAH’S TRADE.
Dun A Ca.’s Report for June, and What
It Shows.
Mr. John Skerritt, manager in Savannah
for R. G. Dun A Co.’s mercantile agency,
reports for June as follows:
“Trade for the past six months has been
an average one, and proved fairly satis
factory; the demand for staple articles
continues good, and buyer and seller seem
disposed to observe more caution than
formerly in placing orders, which are
somewhat backward this season. Reports
received on the growing crops are gener
al v of a favorable character; grain is do
ing well, and the stand of cotton in most
sections good, but backward, owing to re
cent rains and cool nights; there has been
a slight increase in acreage planted, but
it is too early to predict what the crop
will likely be In this section. The naval
stores and lumber interests, owing to
overproduction.are depressed; prices are
low. and but little improvement is looked
for this year in these lines of trade. The
outlook is not considered by some author
ities a very favorable one. yet a healthy
trade is looked forward to by a majority
of our merchants, who speak hopefully of
the situation, and express the opinion
that the demand for goods will
up to that ot last fall.”
St. Matthew’s Church Entertainment.
The Fords’ Opera House was packed
last night upon the occasion of tfce enter
tainment given for the aid of St. Matthew’s
Church Building Fund. The programme
published in the Morning Xzws yester
day was carried out, and delighted the
audience. Nearly every part was encored.
The operetta of “Penelope,”
in which Miss Berta Brace
well appeared as “Penelope.” Mrs
Wade as “Mrs. Cooler,” Mr. Wade as
“Pitcher,” the policeman, Mr. Harden as
“Walker Chalk,” and Mr. Carswell as
“Grenadier Towser,” was the feature of
the evening and was received with rounds
of applause. After the programme was
concluded the floor was cleared, the or
chestra took its position and the remain
der ot the evening was spent in the merry
dance.
Refreshment tables were presided over
by the ladies of the church and a hand
some sum was netted in behalf of the
fond.
CHATHAM AT THE WORLD’S FAIR.
Commit* ee# Appointed by the Exposition
Association to Solicit Fond* in Behalf
of the County’s Exhibit.
The merits of the World’s Exposition
are being brought to the notice of the peo
ple in such a manner that the great en
terprise which New Orleans has under
taken already assumes .pre-eminent im
portance among the famous exposition*
which the various countries of the world
have produced. Every part of the globe
will be represented, and the governments
of the old world are making prepa
rations for exhibits of their wealth
and resources, their natural products,
industries, arts and manufactures, their
educational interests, their sciences,
and In fact everything. In every feature
the foreign display promises to excel that
at Philadelphia in 1876. The domestic dis
play will in every way be on a grander
scale in magnitude and character. The
government will present an exhibition
which for magnificence the world has
never seen an equal. The States and
Territories in their individual ex
hibits will present panorama of
wealth which has never been excelled.
These statements pointing to the
exposition as the greatest the world has
ever seen are corroborated by those who
have visited New Orleans and have seen
the preparations which are being made to
fulfill the demands of the world’s in
terests.
In Georgia every part of the State is
alive to the importance of an exhibit of
her resources. In this part of it the move
ment is progressing with the assurance of
a display that will reflect credit upon
those whose interests it represents.
Commissioner Harden is unremittingly
at work in behalf of Chatham county,
which, from the present prospects, will
send a representation of its resources
that will be a credit to her people.
Mayor Lester, ex-officio Chairman of
the Chatham Exposition Association, has,
in accordance with the request of the
meeting of citizens, aud after consulta
tion with the advisory committee and the
Commissioner for the county, appointed

ly and vigorously for the tonor of old

COTTON INSURANCE KATES.
The Changes in the Basis Adopted
by the Southeastern Tariff Associa
tion.
At the meeting of the Southeastern
Tariff Association in Charleston, last
winter, several modifications of the cotton
tariff were suggested. At the annual
meeting of the association at Old Point
Comfort, the matter was considered and
the rumor gained currency that the
changes suggested at Charleston had
been made.
A 3lornixg News' reporter called upon
Manager Botts of the Southern depart
ment of the association yesterday in re
gard to the matter, and learned that no
change whatever had been made in the
basis rate of 1.50 per cent, except that
where close warehouses are built in every
way ud to the standard and used only for
storage with no handling or sampling,
when they may be rated at 1.25 per cent.,
provided "the plans are submitted and ap
proved by the Executive Committee.
Warehouses and compress buildings
will also be written for 75 per cent, of
the cotton rate, provided they are used
only for cotton storage during the usual
season, and for non-hazardous purposes
during the summer.
The charge of 75 cents for
-floors other than standard’’
is waived on close warehouses.
Another exception is made in cases where
warehouses or compresses control all
their insurance-and can give a satisfac
tory guarantee, to lie inserted in the
policy, that not more than a certain num
ber of bales w ill be stored in any one com
partment or warehouse. The risk will be
rated in accordance with such guarantee.
In such cases, however, each case must
be submitted to the Exexutive Committee
and approved by them before the rating
is made.
Another exception provides that storage
of cotton in courts of compartment ware
houses shall be prohibited by condition in
the policy, unless the warehouseman
shall state in the beginning of the season
that he wishes Jo use the court
for storage, in which case the risk will be
rated for its full capacity, including the
court, as though no compartments exist
ed, and such rating shall not be changed
during the season.
Unlimited floaters will be charged not
less than 5 per cent., but when limited
the rate shall be 50 cents higher than the
highest rate of any locality embraced in
the territory.
Several weeks ago President Clarence.
Knowles, of the Tariff As
sociation. and J. G. Finney, of Lou
isville, as a committee of the association,
were in Savannah inspecting the cotton
warehouses with a view to fixing the rate
of insurance according to their grade as
compared with a grade adopted by the
association for a standard warehouse.
After a conference with the Board of
Underwriters and leading cotton mer
chants, and a general inspection of the
warehouses, the result of their labors was
embodied in a report and submitted to the
association. No circular in regard to
the report has yet been issued.
THE STREET HAWKERS.
A Plea for an Ordinance to Protect the
Green Grocers and Market Dealers.
Editor Morning Mews: A writer in the
Evening Times terms the movement made
by the Green Grocers, Producers and
31arket Dealers Association, looking to
tne passage of an ordinance by our City
Council restricting the present system of
street huckstering as an effort at class
legislation, and, according to his views,
should be frowned down by the people.
This correspondent, without going into
the merits of the question, or inquiring
into the causes and abuses which led to
the formation of this organization for self
protectiou, and not knowing whether this
proposed law seeks to strike at the “birth
right” of anyone, or whether it aims at
the “greatest good to the greatest num
ber.” denounces it as selfish in its intent,
and as a positive injury to our citizens at
large.
The tax levied on a little green grocery
establishment is SIOO per annum. Fish
dealers in the market pay $135 per an
num and 25 cents daily as market fees.
The gardeners and butchers pay some
where about the same charges to conduct
their respective businesses, and. as the
laws are now, thev have no protection
It is not the countrv producer this pro
posed law aims at, for it will be beneficial
to him, and the majority of them in
Chatham county are striving to abolish
the abuses that exist, for, as the matter
now stands, it does not pay the producer
to bring his wares to market, as no one
visits there.
The trouble is this: there are about 500
men, women and children, the great ma
jority of whom are neither producers nor
tilleis of the soil. These people are neither
licensed nor registered, but infest the
streets from “early morn till dewy eve,”
with no responsibility whatsoever. They
huckster everything from a peck of rice
to a quart of okra, going about the streets
in groups with the cry of “chickens gwine,
buyers,” “here de fresh fish,” etc.,
cursing, blackguarding, oftentimes fight
ing each other. They will stop in front of
a green grocery, the proprietor of which
has been compelled to pay the city $lOO as
a tax to sell the very wares these people
vend. Is this just? They despoil the
fields ot our gardeners, who are con
stantly harassed by their depredations,
and woe unto the chicken coop of our
suburban resident, for to them it is right
ful prey.
Is it anv wonder, then, that business
men who have suffered so long are striv
ing for the enactment of laws that will,
in a measure, afford some protection to
them?
I have no selfish interests at stake, as
this writer terms it, but, as one who wishes
to see justice done a deserving class of
our fellow citizens, I am heartily in favor
of the proposed ordinance or any law
which will give them the protection they
greatly need. A, If. M.
THE CITT GOVERNMENT.
Alderman Thomas Tackles the Market
Question and Asks the Removal of
the Hucksters from the Sidewalks.
The Mayor and ten Aldermen composed
the City Council last night. The hot
weather or some other cause made the
session a brief one. There was very little
business to transact, and the Board went
through with it in a hurry.
Tne report of the Committee on Fire
approving the petition of the Standard
Manufacturing Company of Charleston
for the erection of a frame shed on
Indian street in front of the Planters’ Rtce
Mill, provided it be covered with tin and
corrugated iron, was the subject of a
spirited discussion as to the construction
of the fire ordinance and whether a frame
building could be erected within the fire
limits if it be covered with iron, brick or
any other material. The report was finally
acted upon and disapproved by a vote of
7 to 3.
The decreasing revenues of the Market
were brought up and discussed. Alderman
Thomas offered a resolution requesting
the Market Committee to offer for sale in
the usual manner until the first Wednes
day of next December all unrented stalls
in the market, and that after renting all
the stalls for which there are bidders the
Clerk of the Market be instructed to as
sign the unrented stalls to such persons,
other than those who sell from country
carts, as are accustomed to sell their pro
duce outside of the building, charging
them only the customary fees, and that
thereafter such persons be not allowed to
occupy stalls or the sidewalk outside of
the market so long as there may be any
available space on the inside.
Alderman Thomas asked, after the read
ing of the resolution, that it be referred
to the Market Committee fo be reported
upon at the next meeting of the Council.
He considered the removal ot the crowds
of hucksters around the market an im
portant matter.
Alderman Hamlet concurred with Al
derman Thomas, and seconded the reso
lution. It was then referred to the com
mittee.
Aldermen Wells, Chairman of the
Market Committee, said that the move
suggested by the resolution had been
talked of by the committee, but in view
of the fact that it had been tried by two
former Councils and had been abandoned
because of the tendency to diminish the
market revenue, it had decided to allow*
the rules to remain as they were.
The Committee on Health and Cemetery
reported that the Morgue had been im
proved, and that provision had been made
for its proper care by the County Commis
sioners.
Alderman Thomas offered an ordinance
providing for a reduction of 10 per cent,
on water taxes and assessments and on
assessments for repairing and cleaning
vaults if paid within filteen days after
falling due.
Several petitions for repairing build
ings, making sewer connections, etc.,
were referred to appropriate committees.
Accounts amounting to $9,146 06 were
passed for payment.

Strange! But True.
It seems very strange to other dealers
why we can afford to sell so much cheaper
and offer a much superior article to the
public than they do, but when once seen
into the matter it is not very hard to dis
solve. We purchase direct from the man
ufacturers who manufacture nothing but
for best retail trade. We can sell cheaper
because we sell more than others, and are
satisfied with very small profits. Those
who need such as Clothing, Hats or Fur
nishing Goods for this season, will do
well to call on us, as we must close out
our entire stock before the beginning of
fall in order to make room for our Fall
Stock. Profit or no profit we will sell the
balance we have on hand.

Sir! Who are You?
Are you a mechanic, literally “earning
your bread by the sweat of your brow ?”
Are you a professional man, engaged in
the consideration of abstruse questions of
law or medicine? Are you a merchant,
stemming the troublesome tides of com
merce? Or are you a clerk, up to your
neck in figures, or going over and over the
monotonous ground that tells the story of
failure or success? Or maybe you are a
clergyman watchiDg over your flock with
zealous care?
No matter who you are or what you do,
it is well for you to know that Simon
Mitchell is still slashing out some mag
nificent bargains in fine “tailor-fitting,”
made-to-order suits. His stock must be
reduced, and it is only necessary to ask
prices to know that they are very low.

Suits still left—call at once if you want
