The Superior Court room was packed
with a dense crowd of spectators and
delegates yesterday morning when the
convention assembled. A few minutes
after 9 o’clock the Chairman took his seat
on the bench. The vistors' gallery and
tbe jury boxes were jammed.
The main entrance was blocked
and tbe heat was stifling. The delegates
were fresh for the work before them, but
as the thermometer crept up in the high
nineties, some of them put on a
wilted look and besren to get
tbiretT. The water cooler went
dry in an hour, and before tbe
convention had got fairly under way
an occasional member who could le
spared from his delegation edged his way
out to consult his colleague and look for a
pump. The delegates occupied about the
same position on tbe floor as on the first
day ot the convention.
THE OPENING OUTLOOK.
The scenes at the Marshall House
after breakfast indicated that the
delegates were industriously at
work. The Mersbon delegation was in
session some time. Meetings of *the other
delegations were held, and rumors of a
break in the ballot were floating about.
On being traced tbev failed to resolve into
facts, and the * twentv-fiith ballot
opened without a change from that
taken - l- fore Wednesday’s adjourn
ment. The lower county delegates
did their best to consolidate a
majority vote on Mersbon. but the dele
gates trom tbe eastern counties were
solid, and the move failed. Tne conven
tion s ttled down to a dogged tight tor
the choice on territorial issues. The call
ot counties opened for the twenty-fifth
ballot and proceeded slowly until the bal
lot was completed, when the Chair an
nounced the result:

The convention was not surprised at tbe
result. Tbe speculative rumors of a bieak
in Bradwell’s delegates and the increase
of Adams’ vote proved unfounded. The
succeeding ballots up to the fifty-first were
unchanged. On the fifty-first ballot
Scriven went over to Bradwell, giving
Mersbon 16 votes, Adams 11, Bradwell 9
and Rawls 4.
keeping IT UP.
Tbe fifty-second ballot was the same as
the first.
On tbe fifty-third ballot Echols gave 2
votes for Bradwell and Scriven went back
to Adams.
The fifty-fourth ballot was the same as
the tittv-third.
On the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth ballots
Echols gave 2 votes for Adams.
On the fiftv-seventh ballot Echols again
split up. dividing between Bradwell and
Adams, leaving the ballot 10 for Mersbon,
13 for Adams, 7 for Bradwell, and 4 for
Rawls.
At this point Col. Sweat, of Clinch
county, submitted a resolution providing
for tbe appointment by the Chair of the
District Executive Committee, to be com
posed of one member from each county,
appointed upon the recommendation of
the respective delegations. The resolution
wa* adopted, and the convention took a
recess of thirty minutes to allow the ap
pointment ol the committee.
• A STERN CHASE.
Upon reconvening the balloting
proceeded without change. The
delegations were solid in sup
port of their choice, and showed no
signs of yielding. A stern, long chase
was before the convention, and the dele
gates settled back in tbeir chairs to fight
it out. Up to tbe sixtieth ballot the vot_e
was: Mershon 16, Adams 13, Bradwell t,
Rawls 4.
The sixtieth ballot gave Mershon 16.
Adams 13, Bradwell 5. and Rawls 6.
On the sixtv-first ballot Echols cast her
first vote for Mersbon anil gave 1 to Brad
well. Scriven went to Bradwell, giving
Mershon 17, Adams 10, Bradwell 9. and
4#
The succeeding ballots, up to the sixty
seventh, were as follows:
Sixtv-seeond ballot—Mershon 16, Adams
10, Bradwell 10, Rawls 4.
Sixtv-third ballot—Mershon 16, Adams
12. Bradwell 8, Rawls 4.
*ixtv-fourth ballot—Mershon 16, Adams
14, Bradwell 6. Rawls 4. '
Sixtv-tifth ballot—Mershon 16. Adams
R Bradwell 7, Rawls 4.
Sixty-sixth ballot—Mershon 16, Adams
13, Bradwell 7, llawls 4.
On the sixty-seventh ballot Scriven
went over from Bradwell to Mershon and
Brvan from Rawls, giving Mershon 20.
Adams 11, Bradwell 5. and Rawls 4.
A VISITING VOTE.
The Mershon delegates made a show of
enthusiasm when the vote was announced,
but it subsided on tbe next ballot, which
gave Mershon 16, Adams 8, Bradwell 10,
and Rawls 6, Bryan going back to Rawls
and Scriven and Echols to Bradwell.
From the sixty-ninth ballot the vote
was essentially ’ unchanged up to the
seventy-seventh ballot, when a recess
was taken. During the whole contest
Mershon’s delegates remained solid.
Chatham and Mclntosh held firm for
Adams, and Effingham, Tattnall and
Liberty for Bradwell.
The wearisome monotony of the pro
ceedings fretted some of the delegates,
and on the seventy-seventh ballot Dr.
Lane, of Emanuel, lumped to his feet
and moved that, in view of the fact that
the contest had resolved itself into a trial
of physical endurance, a recess be taken
until after dinner. The convention appa
rently took the same view of the situation,
and tne recess was unanimously voted.
The recess meant work for tbe working
delegates. It was evident before a nomi
nation coukl be made that an adjustment
of the differences between the leading
delegations must be secured. This was a
difficult matter to bring about. A con
ference was held with no satisfactory re
sult. and the situation was
unchanged when the convention
reassembled. There was some talk of a
break among Bradwell’s delegates, but it
proved to be nothing more than talk.
Tbe Chairman took his seat a few min
utes before 4 o’clock, and the Secretary
began the call for the seventy-eighth bal
lot. Several ofthe delegates were absent
from the floor, and tbe ballot was sus
pended until all the counties were repre
sented, when the Chair read the result:
Mershon 16, Adams 10, Bradwell 8,
Rawls 4.
A CHANCE TO HARMONIZE.
The seventy-ninth, eigntieth and eightv
first ballots were unchanged. Carter, of
Appling county, moved an adjournment
„util 6 o’clock to give the convention a
chance to harmonize. It evidently did
not want to do anything of tbe kind, as
the motion was voted down by an over
whelming majority.
Ir. Brown, ot Bulloch, jumped to his
feet and wanted to know what the con
vention was for, and for what purpose the
delegates comprising it had been se
lected. It nothing was to be done beyond
what had already been accomplished he
would move that the convention
adjourn and let the people send new
delegates to make the nomination.
Representative Dart, of Glynn, wanted
to know if the Doctor ever heard of a
“dark horse.’’
“I don’t wan’t to hear anything about
dark horses. I didn’t come here to ride a
dark horse,” was the reply.
The balloting went on, the eighty-second
ballot giving Mershon the same 16 votes,
Adams 12, Bradwell 8, and Rawls 4.
Up to the ninety-ninth ballot the situa
tion was essentially unchanged, when
Effingham. Scriven and Echols went to
Adams, giving him 16 Totes, the highest
number Chatham's candidate had re
ceived up to that time.
On the one hundredth ballot Effingham
and Scriven dropped back to Rawls. The
voting from then up to the one hundred
and sixth ballot was unaltered. Brewer,
of Liberty, at this point, moved a recess
for 30 minutes, which was carried, Mer
shon’s delegates voting against it.
At 5 o’clock the convention again con
vened. and, after balloting for half an
hour with the same results as before, ad
journed on the one hundredth and fif
teenth ballot until 9:30 o’clock this morn
ing.

DROWNED IN THE SURF.
Edward OiapHn His Own Life In
Savins That of Another.
Tbe friends of Edward W. Chaplin were
deep l ! - pained yesterday by a telephone
announcement trom Tybee that he had
been drowned while bathing off the beach
early in the morning. fhe report
was so unexpected that it was
hoped that later intelligence Would fail to
confirm it. A second message gave fuller
particulars relative to the unfortunate
occurrence and established the truth
of th® report. J. G. Butler and
a brother of the deceased went
do the island and returned with
the body on tbe afternoon steamer.
It was taken in charge by Undertaker
Dixon and conveyed to the family resi
dence. No. 40 Abercorn street. The
friends of the deceased, on their return
from Tybee, gave the followinz account
of the sad accident: About 6 o’clock ia
the morning two young boys—Camp
bell and Frank Edwards-a
young ladv and the deceased went to
bathe off the beach. While enjoying tbe
surf it was noticed that tbe younger of
the bovs had been carried by the sea be
yond his depth. The elder brother and
Chaplin went to his rescue. Chaplin
caught hold of the lad, and was coming
to the shore, when he was seized with a
cramp. The other bov pulled bis brother
in towards tbe beach where the water
was shallower, wbeu Chaplin immediately
sank from view. His young friends
at first did rot realize the situation
bat as their rescuer did not rise to the
surface tor a minute or two they became
alarmed and ran to the Oeean House,
where they related what had occurred to
Capt. Austin. The Captain hastened
to the beach,' and in less than
three-quarters of an hour fpom the
time tbe a< cident occurred found the body
in a hole and brought it out of the water
on the sand. Every effort wag made to re
suscitate life, but without avail.
At the time ot the sad occurrence young
Chaplin’s wife, who is an invalid, was
sleeping, and when the frarful intelli
gence was communicated to her she was
prostrated with grief.
Mr. Chaplin was a native of South Caro
lina, and was 24 years ot age. For a num
lier of years he had been in the employ of
West Bros., cotton factors and commis
sion merchants, and had risen to tbe posi
tion of bookkeeper, where he showed
himself faithful, prompt and accurate in
the discharge of his duty. He was highly
esteemed by all who knew him for his
amiability ’of disposition and no
bility of" character. About a month
ago he went toTvbeeon a vacation for the
benefit of his hea'lth, and would have re
turned to his bus.ness next week. The
sacrifice of his life in an heroic attempt to
save the life of another is a sad and terri
ble fatality, inspiring sympathy among
those who loved him. His funeral will
take place this morning at 10 o’clock.

“EVERYBODY’S FRIEND.”
The Fords’ Latest Success—A Brilliant
Performance Last Night.
The Fords’ Opera House was packed
last night. Every seat on the main floor
was taken, and the gallery was crowded
to the wall. Everybody wanted to see
“Everybody’s Friend,” and a good many
did. The play—a laughable comedy—pre
sented by the association twice last
vear. was repeated in a manner which
left no room for doubt that tbe Fords
command as high an order ot talent as is
usually found on the professional stage.
The remarkable success which has at
tended them in their entertainments has
placed tbe association upon a
basis far above the average of pro
fessional combinations. The east of the
plav was an admirable one. Miss Nellie
Fierce, the acknowledged lavorite, whom
the Savannah theatre-going public has
come to look upon with an admiration be
yond that for ordinary talent, won new
favor as “Mrs. Swansdown,” a character
for which she is eminently fitted.
Miss Augusta Chamliers, who made
her first appearance with tbe Fords last
week in the “Old, Old Story,” and was re
ceived with so much favor, made a de
cided bit last night in the dual role of the
superior woman “Mrs. Major Wellington
Deßoots” and “Fanny.” Miss Chambers
is an actress of rare intelligence and
experience, and will be recognized
in Savannah with more favor probably
than anv other actress who has played
here so short a time. Miss Florie Verne
as "Mrs. Featherly” sustained her part
admirably. Lawrence Hanley, Savan
nah’s favorite voung actor, outdid him
self as -Felix Featherly,” and achieved a
success bevond what was even hoped for
bv bis friends. Mr. Hanley’s talent is al
ready recognized in the professional world
und his future will be a bright one.
Mr. H. S.Duffield as “Frank Icebrook,”
in a light comedv role, was received with
the salne favor which he has been accorded
since his first appearance with the associ
ation. Mr. Dqffleld is a talented actor.
His long experience and great con
ception place him high up in the
dramatic world. Mr. W. A. Mc-
Carthy, with whom Savannahians are
all acquainted, as “Major Wellingham
Deßoots,” fulfilled the com* dy role whiea
ce is so proper*v capable of sustaining.
Mr. McCarthy’s"humor iS characteristic
and mirth-provoking, and he was receiv
ed with the same demonstrations of ap
plause that have marked his appearance
on former occasions.
Mr. Joseph F. Doyle as “Trop ’ was an
admirable personation of tbe character.
Mr. H.C. Davis as “Coachman.” Mr.
Josephh Collins as "Gardener,” and Mr.
X. F. Jackson as “Cook,” filled out the
cast, which from the first to the last name
on the programme was beyond adverse
criticism.
The stage management, under Mr. J.
C. Shaw, to whom the association is in
debted for a wise discrimination in the
selection of casts and a general direction
of its affairs, was excellent. The busi
ness management, under Messrs. Thomp
son and Molina, is in judicious hands, and
the association has nothing to ask that
has not been accorded it.

The organization grew out of a desire
to increase tbe influence and value of the
Academy, and to make its researches
and knowledge of value to others Study
ing the sciences, in places where books
and catalogues are not accessible. Let
ters have been received for many months
by membeiß ot the Academy asking for
information on various points, and, as far
as possible, they were answered promptly.
These who received them wanted to make
full and complete answers, but, without
any system, were sometimes unable to do
so. It was suggested, finally, that letters
bearing on particular subjects be referred
to those who had made them a particular
study, and, out of the suggestion, grew
the grouping of twenty different subjects,
with a member of the Academy in charge
of each. Letters now are referred to
their proper place at once, and answers
much more prompt and satisfactory re
turned.
Since the contmencenient of the bu
reau, circulars have been sent out an
nouncing its nature and inviting corres
l■ondt‘nce. The fact is emphasized that
the service is free. Mineral and chemical
analyses, for purely professional purposes
or other scientific" work of a business
character, are not undertaken. Several
departments of study not ypt filled in the
bureau will be provided for as soon as
possible, and it will be the object of the
members constantly to extend its scope.
CRUELTY TO FLIES.
Oversleep and Starvation Driving Them
from a Favorite Dwelling Place.
A pale lad of 19 or 20 summers, says the
New York Nun, smiled uninterruptedly
all the way from Fourteenth to Grand
street on a Third avenue horse car. Even
after a large lady had set part of a basket
of fish on his lap he smiled on. The con
ductor, who for many consecutive days
had seen the same lad" invariably woeful,
was surprised, and asked him about it.
Tbe lad looked up. waved his open hand
once or twice in front of his face, and
then vigorously rubbed bis nose, not for
any evident reason, but with the me
chanical manner of one accustomed to do
so. Then he spoke as follows:
“Up to a few days ago 1 have been the
victim of flies. I board in an up-town
restaurant, and have a room over the
kitchen. My work keeps me busy until 2
or 3 o’clock "in the morning, and I sleep
uutil lin the afternoon. That is, I tried
to sleep, but with the first rays of the
morning sun, just 1 was dozing off, the
flies woke up and lit on my nose. Then I
couldn’t get asleep again until noon,when
dinner was ready, and the flies went down
stairs.
“But now I’ve got ’em, and that is why
I smile. I took a big black shawl that I
had and stretched it across the window so
as to keep out every particle of light. I
also stuffed up the transom. At their
usual hour that morning the flies grew
restless and woke up. But apparently
the sun wasn't up. and anyhow, they
couldn’t find me. They had to believe
tbeir senses, and do their best to doze off
again. When I got good and ready 1 got
up and dressed and took down the shawl.
I never laughed so much as I did when
those flies found it was 2 o’clock p. m.
and dinner was over. I’ve been laughing
ever since, and too much sleep and noth
ing to eat is killing those flies off fast.
That’s why I’m smiling.”
The conductor took up a few nickels,
rang them all up, absent-mindedly, and
crept back to the rear platform to reflect
on the wonders accomplished by genius.
A Great Triumph.
As tbe result of long years of patient
and careful application, aided by all the
discoveries and improvements in modern
chemical appliances, the process by which
the fragrance of the richest tropical flow
ers is extracted and concentrated in Mur
ray and Laninan Florida Water has
reached a state of perfection which leaves
nothing to be desired. To distinguish the
genuine article from its numerous imita
tions look out for the “Trade Mark”
which consists ol a narrow white strip
label bearing the fac simile signature ol
Lauman & Kemp, sole proprietors.
Better “Shed” ’Em.
Heavy clothing must go. What are you
going to do about it? Of course, you need
a thin office coat; it saves the business
coat and keeps you comfortable. For a
Summer Business Suit we recommend
you to see those we offer at reduced prices.
These suits were made by us to sell for
$18; they shall go at sl3, and tip-top bar
gains they are. For your own interest
we ask you to look at our clothing before
vou make any purchases. “Famous”

Is a very good thing, and where real merit
is advertised success is assured, but in
our days every little shebang with no ad
vantages to back, it, advertise, and If you
believe everything you read you will cer
tainly get left. Here is a case in point:
if you read all the advertisements of the
Savannah clothing stores, you would
think that they must be almost giving the
goods awav, but if you try every one of
them you will find that the" Famous New
York Clothing House will give you better
goods and lower prices than all others.

‘■When Greek Meets Greek then Comes

The heading of our advertisement is
very appropriate when applied to our
trade, for there is constant war among
clothing dealers, especially this season of
the vear. One will claim to do more than
the other. It is needless tor us to say that
we are the cheapest and most popular
Clothiers in the city, for our past reputa
tion speaks for our future, as we have
never failed to do what we say. We will
now inform the public that lor the re
mainder of this season we will offer great
inducements in the balance of our Sum
mer Stock. Straw and Manilla Hats we
will sell at New York cost price, and
Clothing at a very small marein. All
those who wish to avail themselves of this
rare opportunity will find it to their in
terest to come early.

11 every man who walks the streets ot
Savannah alone carried conspicuously on
his badk a large card having on it the
name of his clothier, a majority of our
young men, old men and boys would be
walking advertisements of Simon Mitch
ell’s popularity as a purveyor of clothing
to the public. There is surely something
substantial in this popularity. It is not
based on friendship, as it is an old estab
lished fact that a man’s friends nearly
always patronize somebody else. The
secret is no secret at all— it pays them to
get their clothing from Mitchell. They
get qualitv and variety, and above all a
reliable tit. Then Mitchell’s prices are
never more and oftener less than other
houses will charge for slouchy, ill-fitting
goods. The hot season will, like everything
else, have an end, and Mitchell does not
propose to have any summer goods to car
ry over, and no reasonable chance to trade
will he let slip. If you want a dress suit,
a business suit, or a cool Seersucker, now
is the time to get it at a merely nominal
value. His line of Furnishing Goods will
be similarly dealt with. Call and take a
look and get prices—nobody is compelled
to buy. Sign of the Golden Arm, 159

Marshall House.
The uniform scale of prices, the eleganee
of cuisine, the comfortable, o.eanly and
home-like appearance of apartments, have
placed this popular hotel among the most
prominent of the South, which reflects
great credit on its manager, who leaves
nothing undone to enhance the comfort of
Its numerous patrons.
The Harnett House, Savannah.
The wonder of those who go to the Har
nett House, in Savannah, is that so excel
lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can be offered to the public at such mini
mum rates. Without exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as that of
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
ud the sum of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—

At a meeting of the employes of Messrs.
Palmer Bros., held at their store on Thurs
day evening. July 24. 18S4, the following reso
lutions were passed:
Whereas, Our Heavenly Father in His all
wise Providence has removed from our midst
our beloved friend and co-worker, Herbert
W. Palmer: therefore, be it
Ifewlved, Ist. That in this Providence of
God our hearts are so full of sorrow at the
great loss we are called upon to bear, that it
is with difficulty we can frame our sorrowful
thoughts into words: we have been called upon
to give up one of our number, who, through
a long term of years has been our constant
and loving companion and fellow-worker;
one who, during all of our intimacy, has. by
kind acts and loving words so endeared him
self to us that we feel as though our Father
had indeed stricken us a heavy blow in thus
calling home hint who was always with us.
and whose every thought was for our good,
and who alwavs'won our love and deep, sin
cere affection"by hie gentle, yet loving and
faithful heart and noble manliness.
Reunited, 2d. That we cannot express our
• iucere, heartfelt sympathy for those more
nearly connected wi'th him. To them we can
only sav: God grant them peace; God send
them balm to heal the broken heart, to bind
up the wounded spirit—he is not lost to you
forever—he is only gone before a little while,
and vou will go to him.
Resolved. 3d. That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent the bereaved family of our de
parted friend.
Resolved, 4th. That these resolutions be pub
lished in the Savannah Morning News.
