MISS LENOKE ti IRDON HUSSEY.
Her Debut In Shakespcrlan Itoles—A
Brilliant Entertainment.
The complimentary, benefit tendered by
the eilizens of Savannah to Miss Lenore
Gordon Hussey, at the Theatre last night,
was one of the most brilliant entertain
ments that the theatre-going public tt*s
had the opportunity of attending in a
long time. Miss Hussey’s debut in
a Shakesperian role was a signal
success. Her conception of the character
of the deformed, cralty and designing
Richard of Gloster, while not equal to
that of Keene or Booth, was far beyond
th • range of ordinary talent. The young
ladv achieved a brilliant triumph. As
Julie de Mortimer in Richelieu she
made equally as enviable a success
an 1 won the repeated applause the
audience, which was carried completely
in iier favor. Her support was admirable.
Mr. E. A. Ix?onaril as -Tirrel.” and Mr.
1> T. Elliott as “Uatesby” in “Richard
in.,” and Mr. T. B. Catberwood as
“Richelieu,” were a strong backing. The
remainder of the entertainment
was equally as enjoyable as
the leading features, although or
a different order. The entire interest
centered about Miss Hussey, and as the
young lady was led liefore the curtain on
her last appearance she was greeted with
long aud eoutinued applause.

Funeral or Edward Chaplin—The Cause
of Hla Death.
The funeral of the late Edward Chaplin
took place vesterday morning and was
largelv attended byhwidecireleof friends.
In announcing tfc* sad death of young
Chaplin at Tybee ©6 Thursday the Morx
jnc, News m its report of the disaster
yesterday stated, upon the strength of
what it believed to be reliable information,
that Mr. Chaplin s body was found in a
hole in the sand where it had sunk and
that death resulted from drowning. Later
developments show that heart disease or
hemorrhage was the probable cause ot
death Mr. John G. Butler, near whose
place the bodv was found, states that it
was lying on the sand in shallow water
and not in a hole, as there are no holes on
the beach. The laet that the body was
not tilled with water, as in the case of
drowned persons, goes to prove that death
resulted from some other cause.

The Congressional Contest Narrowed
Down to a Trial of Eaduranc*—One
Hundred and Seventy-Three Ballots
>pd No Choice Vet—The Delegation*
Urge the Claims of Their Candidates
and Settle Down to Fight Out the Is
sue*.
Mercury was hovering among the high
nineties in the Superior Court room when
Chairman Wade took his seat yesterday
morning, and announced the convention
in order. The delegates’ floor was occu
pied several minutes before the body con
vened, and when the Chairman’s gavel
fell everything was ready for business.
The ball opened just where it ended the
day before. Before the convention met
rumor* of a break in the Bradwell dele-'
gation and a general stampede for Adams
were floating about, but the ballot failed
to resolve them into facts. Col. Sweat,
Chairman of the Mershon delegation, led
bis forces in from the caucus
room and the billoting began.
The call of counties for the
one hundred and sixteenth ballot
showed tbst the situation was unchanged.
Mershon received 16 votes, Adams 14,
Bradwell 6 and Rawls 4.
Mr. Wav. of Liberty, jumped to his feet
and in ladialf of the Bradwell delegation
proposed to cast one ballot each for Mcr
shon.-Adams and Rawls, reserving the
vet** of Libertv until the ballot should he
announced, and if any candidate should
develop strength so that Liberty's vote
could make the nomination, it Would be
cast lor that candidate.
looking for a change.
It l>egan to look as though the tide was
turning when this proposition was made,
and the spectators crowded against the
railing around the delegates’ floor as the
Secretary began tbe call of counties.
When it was concluded the ballot
stood: Mershon 20, Adams 14, Bradwell 2,
Rawls 4.
On the next ballot tbe vote went to
Adams, and on the r.ext, the one hun
dred and nineteenth, to Rawls. Tbe move
failed to bring out a sufficient strength
to allow the vote of Liberty to make the
choice.
Mr. Wav then said that inasmuch as
none of the candidates had developed this
strength, it was the duty of the conven
tion to come over to Bradwell, and make
him its choice.
Major Wm. Letford, of Bryan, said that
since tbe mountain would not go to Ma
homet, Mahomet must go to the moun
tain. It had been charged that the Brad
well delegation was obstructing the con
vention in its work. This he denied. No
candidate, he said, had yet developed
strength sufficient to secure a two-thirds
vote.
“Judge Mershon can,” said a voice.
“He hasn’t shown it,” replied Major
Letford.
SUPPORTING THE CANDIDATES.
The Major appealed to the delegation
from lieyond the Altamaha to come over
to their candidate. He Ixdieved if the
convention would nominate Bradwell it
would put in the halls of Congress the
peer of any man in Georgia—a represen
tative not of Liberty’s Interests only, but
of the interests of the whole district.
Mr. Dart, of Glvnn, wanted to know if
among Mr. Brad well’s accomplishments
he could dance.

15)1. Sweat did not think there was a
delegate in tbe convention who was
wiliin. to go away without first securing
a nomination that would harmonize the
interests of the entire district. He blamed
no delegation for its choice. He believed
Judge Adams would make an able and
fit representative of the interests of Sa
vannah and Chatham county and the dis
trict. He also recognized the fact that
Hon. Morgan Rawls would make a taith
ful and able representative of the district.
He conceded the privilege and right of
Liberty to present the name of Capt.
Bradwell, and he believed if nominated
and elected he would make a representa
tive that the district would he proud of.
The friends of Judge Mershon oil Id not
he blamed for presenting his name and
urging his nomination. In him the dis
trict would have an able, eloquent and
faithful representative. If sectionalism
was to have any weight in the conven
tion, he believed that the city
and seaport of Brunswick, and the
county of Glynn, should have
the right to iiame’the nominee. Laying
aside all territorial issues and the claims
of any county, or any portion of the dis
trict to the candidate, he believed if the
convention would rise upon a higher
plane the friends of Judge Mershon would
have the advantage. Judge Mershon had
"lion the leading candidate before the con
vention, and had received the highest
vote that it had cast. He conceded the
right of other delegations, but he believed
that nobody could expect Judge Mer
shon’s friends to desert him and go over
to another candidate.
JUDGE ADAMS’ STRENGTH.
Mr. Gignilliat, of Mclutosh, made a
telling speech in behalf of Judge Adams.
He had the kindest feeling of considera
tion for all the candidates, yet there was
a selfish reason that induced him to urge
Judge Adams’ nomination. The port of
Darien, he was aw are, could not compete
w ith Savannah, yet there were annually
175,000,000 feet of timber passiug down the
Altamaha, and the port represented all the
counties along the river. Darien had never
pressed her claims as a seaport town.
The only appropriation she ever received
for her harbor was at the hands of the dis
tinguished aud lamented Hartridge. Mc-
Intosh had voted steadily for Judge
Adams in representing the wishes of its
constituency. Aside trom any selfish rea
sons, there" were ottapr motives which
every patriotic citizen of the dis
trict could not fail to recognize
why it should support the candidate from
Chatham. Judge Adams’ strength in the
convention already represented in round
numbers over 76,000 people, more than
half the population of the whole district,
while Judge Mershon represented only
38,000, less than one-fourth of the popii
lation, Mr. Kiwis representing 14,-
000, and Mr. Bradwell 23,000.
These figures were reason enough why
Judge Adams should be the choice of the
jieople.
Col. Sweat wanted Mr. Gignilliat
to give the Democratic vote repre
sented by the candidates. Mr. Gignil
liat repliwl that the convention was not
sending a Representative to Washington
to represent Democratic interests alone,
but the interests of the entire district and
the State .of Georgia. He believed
Judge Adams the best man to
represent these interests, and that he
should be the choice of the convention,
lie was aware that, with his colleagues,
he represented the vote, yet he would be
recreant to his constituency if he ftriled
to support the man upon whom its choice
had settled.
Mr. Smith, ot Glynn, supported Judge
Mershon. He failed to see w hy. if Judge
Adams’ vote in the convention did
represent 75,000 people, it should come
forward and make him its candidate. As
o representation, Effingham county had
already l>een honored ill Congress by Hon.
Morgan Rawls; Chatham had been twice
represented by her giltetl son, the immor
tal Hartridge; tbe middle portion of tbe
district had been represented by Hon.
John C. Nicholls; but when had the
lower counties and the counties along
the coast, representing two im
portant seaports, been represent
ed! Not since long before the
war. Now they presented a man cogni
zant of the interests of Brunswick, of
Darien, of Savannah, and of the whole
district, who would be a fit and able
representative of the people.
KEEPING OF THE BALLOT.
The Secretary proceeded with the call
of counties for the one hundred and
twentieth ballot, which resulted in 16
votes for Mershon, 14 for Adams, 6 for
Bradwell, and 4 for Rawls
A recess of half an hour was moved and
carried.
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Before the convention was dismissed
the Chairman announced the Executive
Committee as lollows:
Appling— N. J. Holton, Baxley.
Bryan—P. W. Williams, Fido.
Bulloch—D. R. Groover, Areola.

Scriven—Jno. C. Dell. Sylvania.
Tattnall—Dr. James Tootle, Reidsvllle.
-Ware—J. C. McDonald, Waycross.
Wayne—Jno. Massey, Jesup.
The committee met ia the City Court
room and organized by the election of
Maj. D.C. Bacon Chairman; N. J. Holton,
Esq*., of Appling, Secretary, and Capt.
D. G. Purse, of Savannah, Treasurer.
When the convention met after the re
cess, Mr- Akins, of Bulloch, announced
before the call of counties for the one
hundred and twenty-first ballot that if
any candidate could secure 25 votes Bul
loch would cast her two votes in his
favor. The call proceeded, and the ballot
resulted: Mershon 10. Adams 12, Brad
well 8, Rawls 4. On the one hun ired and
twentv-second ballot Mershon received
16, Adams 14, Bradwell 8 and Rawls 2.
WEARING OCT THE SECRETARY.
The continuous balloting was begin
ning to wear upon Jhe Secretary, and Mr.
John Gillett, of Chatham, was made As
sistant Secretary.
The balloting from the one hundred and
twenty-fourth to the one hundred and
ballot wa* without change,
the same 16. 12. 8. 4 and 16, 14. 6. 4. being
announced by the Chair a* the call was
mde.
On the one hundred and tbirty-eiglHh
ballot the convention took another recess
qntU 3:30 o’clock.
Tbe recess gave an opportunity for the
delegations to work up the support of their
candidates, and they went at it with a
will. It was a hard fight, though, and
when the convention again convened it
started off with tbe same 16 votes for Her
•hon. 12 for Adams, 6 for Bradwell and 4
for Rawls. ~ „ .
When the one hundred and forty-second
ballot had been announced without
change, Capt. Hughes jumped up
and wanted to know what the convention
proposed to do. He had been in every
Congressional convention in the district
for the past forty years, and had seen
deadlocks, but he had never known one to
last so long as tbe one*into which they
had been forced. The Bradweli delega
tion wanted to show that it was not
responsible for the deadlock. His delega
tion had met and agreed to cast is vote,
reserving Libertv, first for Mershon three
ballots, then Adams three ballots, and
then Rawls three ballots, and if no nomi
nation was reached they would withdraw
theiroandidate from the contest. In order
to allow an opportunity for the delegates
to discuss the proposition a recess was
taken lor half an hour.
When the convention met the voting
continued up to the one hundred and
sixty-fourth ballot unchanged. On this
ballot Effingham gave 2 votes for Mer
shon, giving Mershon 18, Adams 12, Brad
well 8, and Rawls 2.
The one hundred and sixty-fifth ballot
was Mershon 19, Adams 14, Bradwell 6,
Rawls 1.
Tbe one hundred and sixty-sixth ballot
resulted as follows: Mershon 16, Adams
16. Bradwell 7, Rawls 1.
The one hundred and sixty-seventh bal
lot stood: Mershon 16. Adams 17, Brad
well 6, and Rawls 1. It was evident that
Adams’ strength was increasing, and the
enthusiasm began to show itself among
tbe spectators, who were chiefly Adams’
friends. .
The one hundred and sixty-eighth and
one hundred and sixty-ninth ballots re
sulted: Mershon 17, Adams 18, Bradwell
4, Rawls l.
ADAMS’ STRENGTH INCREASING.
On the one hundred and seventieth bal
lot Bryan gave two votes lor Adams,
making the vote the highest reached dur
ing the convention, as follows:

DOWNED BY THE DIXIES.
The Oglethorpe* Play a Splendid Game,
but the Champions go Them One
Better.
The ninth game of the series between
the Dixies and Oglethorpes was played
yesterday afternoon before a slim crowd.
The attendance deserved to have been
much larger, as the game was a fine one.
It will be remembered that the Augusta
papers stated that the Oglethorpes had
batted Kilroy more heavily than any
other club, and tbev volunteered the
advice to the Dixies that they
secure anew pitcher. The game
yesterday proved very conclusively that
Norton is hard to beat, and that Hoggins
as a catcher is decidedly a success. The
game w r as well played throughout, the
Dixies making five runs and the Ogle
thorpes two. Lewis played first for it all
was worth. Fitzgerald oil third was im
mense. and the rest of the nine did well,
l.amotte capturing a hard liner on short.
For the Oglethorpes, Miller on third,
Cullom on first, and Smith In centre, were
fine. Sullivan did good work in the box.
The score is as follows:

DIED IN THE STREET.
The Body of an Unknown Man Found on
the Sidewalk—How it Came There—
The Mystery Explained and the Dead
Man's Identity Established at the
Morgue.
A sensation was created in the western
portion of the city yesterday morning by
the discovery of the remains of a young
white man on the sidewalk near the cor
ner of Zubly and St. Gaul streets.
Word was immediately sent to Cor
oner Sheftall, who ordered the
body removed to the morgue and a jury
was summoned to hold an inquest. It was
learned that the unfortunate man was
Henry M. Wood, recently in the employ
of Philip Bewan as barkeeper, at No.
21 Jefferson street, for several weeks,
where he was known as a steady and
reliable man, and had made.many friends
by his courteous mauners. The finding of
his bodv several blocks away from the
place where he was employed at an early
hour in the morning at first suggested
that he was a victim of foul play,
and a number of reports were in
circulation respecting the cause of
his death. At the inquest it was shown
that he had been ill with fever for sev
eral days, and had been attended by Dr.
Charlton. On Thursday he was delirious
and was waited on by a nurse. When Mr.
Bewan called yesterday morning to see
how he was, he found that he
had disappeared from his room over
tbe saloon, and that he was not on the
premises. The police were promptly
notified and a search was instituted, lhe
negro woman Bentley who had found the
remains was met on the street. Mr.
Bewan identified them at the morgue and
stated that the young man was about 24
years of age and came to the
citv from Augusta a short time
before entering his service. The Coroner
iu looking over the effects of the dead man
found some letters which indicated that
he had a wife and father in Greenville, 8.
0., and that his family were
respectably connected there. The
jury in their verdict attributed death
to congestion of tbe brain. Coroner Shef
tall telegraphed to Greenville, S. C., and
last night received a telegram from Mr.
Wood’s father, requesting that the re
mains be sent to that city. The body was
neatly encased in a coffin by Joseph
Goette, undertaker, and will be sent to
their destination this morning.

THE B. W. B. R.
Rumors or its Purchase by the Savan

What the OfHcials Say Abnnt It.
A reporter of the Morning News
called yesterday on Capt. Fleming. Su
perintendent of tbe Savannah. Florida
and Western Railway, to ascer
tain what truth there might be in the
rumor that the Savannah, Florida and
Western was negotiating for the purchase
of the Brunswick and Western Railroad.
Capt. Fleming remarked that they were
; all the time originating rumors at Jack
sonville. which was probably the source
of the rumor In this Instance, and that if
anv such negotiations were in progress
he "bad beard nothing of them and knew
nothing whatever concerning them.
The Jacksonville Herald of yesterday
states that it learns from pri
vate source* that the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western has negotiated
for the purchase of the Bruns
wick and Western. Having before heard
such a rumor in Jacksonville, its reporter
called upon Capt. Ives, the agent of
the Waycross road, but the lat
ter, it is reported, prudently de
clined at the present to say anything
about the purchase or transfer, but con
fessed that lie had heard such rumor him
self. The Herald goes on to say ‘‘there
seems to be no doubt, from all that cau be
'earned from other reliable sources, that
such sale is pending and highly probable,
but whether it has been closed
vet, it cannot say. The Bruns
wick and Western Railroad extends
from Albany to Brunswick, Ga., and
forms a portion of the Central Railroad
svstem from Atlanta to Jacksonville via
Albany, making the shortest route be
tween the two latter named cities.
Col. Haines, the General Manager of
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way is in New York.
THE CHATHAMS’ FAIR.
The Ladies Interested in the Enterprise
—Over H 1,000 Already Subscribed.
In pursuance to the call published in
the Morning News yesterday the ladies
who are making arrangements for the fair
in aid of the Chatham Artillery Centen
nial Fund met at Armory Hall yesterday
afternoon at fl o’clock. A number of ladies
who attended the former meeting, two
weeks ago, were unavoidably absent,
some of them being out of the
city, but as it was about twenty-five
were present and manifested a great deal
of zeal in the undertaking. It was re
ported that the ladies representing the
lour tables—one to each detachment of
the company—bad already received over
$1 ,000 worth of articles as donations to the
fair, and that many other articles would
be sent in from" time to time (lur
ing the summer and fall. The
fair will be held early in December, and
meantime the ladies "in charge of the re
spective tables will vie with one another
in arranging for a most complete display
of goods and in enlisting the services of
their friends in the enterprise.
MAIL CARRIERS’ VACATIONS.
The Post Oliiee Employes oft' for a Rest.
The mail carriers of tbe Savannah post
office a few days ago received a circular
from Washington containing au order
from the Postmaster General, under the
terms of which they are to be allowed
fifteen days leave of absence for rest and
recreation" each year, their pay to con
tinue during the leave at the rate of S6OO
per annum. The substitute carriers who
may do the work during the absence of
the regulars will be compensated by the
government at the same rate of pay. The
order was gratefully received by the em
ployes, and it is understood that some ot
them will take their vacation during the
next two weeks.

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
you make any purchases. “Famous”

Printers’ Ink
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 away, 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 year. 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, tor 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 for 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 margin. All
those who wish to avail themselves of this
rare opportunity will find it to their in
terest to come early.

Will You Just Listen To This?
It every man who walks the streets ot
Savannah alone carried conspicuously on
his back 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 JLhis popularity. It is not
based on friendship, as it is au 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 quality and variety, and above all a
reliable fit. 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
Broughton street.

Marshall House.
The uniform scale of prices, the elegance
of ouisine, the comfortable, e eanly and
home-like appearance or 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 ol
the Screven House, and the rates just ono
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sum of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—
