HOW THE SAVANNAH EXHIBIT
WILE BE MADE.
What the Cotton Exchange and Board
of Trade are Doing—How the City's
Industries, Trades and Institutions
will he Illustrated—Georgia's Space
and liow it is Located.
Two weeks from Tuesday the New Or
leans Exposition will be formally opened.
The Georgia exhibit is being put in shape
and that part of it from Savannan will be
shipped the first of next week. The Cot
l tan Exchange exhibit is nearly completed
and only the minor details yet
remain to be attended to. It will include
16 cases of type samples of upland and
Florida cotton, with seeds of upland,
Florida and sea island and
cotton in the ojien boll. The
cases will be of polished black wal
nut, about 18 by 20 inches in dimensions,
with plate-glass tops arranged on a
roof-shaped stand, 15 feet in length,
handsomely furnished and sup
ported by heavy-turned legs. Over
the cases will be an arch with an inscrip
tion in letters of cotton indicating the au
thorship of the exhibit. In connection
the models of the steamship Sa
vannah, the first steam vessel that
ever crossed the Atlantiejand of the pres
ent steamship City of Savannah, of the
Ocean Steamship fleet. now in the rooms
of the Georgia Historical Society,
will le placed adjoining the stand and
side by side. This will be one oi the most
interesting features of the entire exposi
tion. Supt. Bryan is engaged upon a
lamphlet descriptive of the trades, indus
tries and institutions of Savannah, her
leading lines of transportation, showing
her immense resources, and setting forth
the inducements she offers to the capital
ist, manufacturer and skilled me
chanic as a field for Investment.
I’rominence will be given to her vast
shipping interests, and to the fact that
Savannah is the first port from which a
steam vessel ever crossed the Atlantic.
The extent of her naval stores trade will
also be shown, and the strides that are
being made in all branches of trade. The
pamphlet is about 30 pages, and has been
carefuMy prepared and the statistics ac
curately compiled. An edition of 20,000
will be printed, and will be distributed at
the rate of 150 per day during the con
tinuance of the exposition.
THE BOAKD OF TRADE.
The Board of Trade exhibit is not so far
advanced, but will be complete and ready
to be shipped with that of the Cotton Ex
change. The rosins display will be made
in separate glass cases arranged on a
stand handsomely finished in native Geor
gia woods. Tne turpentine will be ex
hibited In l>ottles. The rice and
lumber exhibits will also form an
attractive feature. The lumber ex
hibit particularly will be one of the
finest in the whole display and will show
the various woods which the forests of
Georgia throw upon the world’s market.
One of the novel features of the naval
stores department will lie a turpentine
still with a section of the natural tree,
showing the box from which the crude
product is taken, the tools used, and by
the 6ide of the still the manufactured pro
duct. The committees having the differ
ent features of the exhibit in charge are
actively at work, and by the last of the
week everything will be’ ready to be for
warded.
GEORGIA'S SPACE.
One of the handsomest features of the
entire State exhibit will be the railing of
native woods surrounding the space
which it will occupy. The location of the
space covering 3,0u0 square ieet fronting
on the main aisle in the centre of the
building, with the surrounding displays
is shown in the cut below:

Although the space is somewhat limited
and much smaller than that ot some other
States, it is in one of the mo9t eligible lo
cations in the entire building. Its dimen
sions are 100 feet front along the main
aisle shown in the cut, with a depth ot 30
feet. The main ai6lo is 14 feet wide and
the side aisles seven feet. Adjoining it
in the rear is the space occupied by Mis
sissippi and Tennessee. On one side is
Arkansas, and in front, across the aisle
and on other side, is West Virginia
and the display of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia and the Cincin
nati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific
Railroads.
The railing will be about three feet in
height and will Le built in sections eight
feet in length, each section being of dif
ferent pattern and separated by carved
posts. The work was designed by John
J. Nevit as a contribution to the ex
hibit, and architecturally will be one of
the finest pieces of ornamental woodwork
ever built in the South. The different sec
tions will include an inlaid panel in the
centre, with a railing of different woods,
the whole work being carved and polished
and finished in the natural wood without
paint or varnish. The entrance, of Geor
gia marble in the shape of the State coat
of arms, has already been fully described
in the News. The wood work is being
done by the mills in Savannah and will
lie finished by the first of next week,
when it will be forwarded W’ith the other
features of the exhibit to New Or
leans. Mr. Pratt, the director in charge
of the exhibit during the exposition, will
be there and see that everything is ar
ranged and in position by the opening day.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1881.
IN THE HANDS OF THE JURY.
Trial of Capt. Dyer In the United State*
Courts for Cruelty to a Negro Sailor—
The Jury Enable to Agree.
Capt. Frank E. Dyer, of the schooner
M. B. Millec, was placed on trial in the
United States D strict Court yesterday
afternoon before Judge Boarman lor
violating section 5347 of the Revised
Statutes in unduly and unwarrantably
Inflicting punishment upon Noah Willis,
colored, the steward of the schooner and
one of the crew. The trial of the case
occupied the entire day. District At
torney Darnell conducted the prosecution,
and J. J. Abrams, Esq., appeared
for the defense. There were two cases
against Capt. Dyer, one for maltreatment
on the high seas, and the other for mal
treatment in the Savannah river. The
cases were consolidated by agreement,
and the charges appeared as two counts iu
the information.
The evidence was similar to that given
before United v tates Commissioner Beck
ett at the preliminary examination on
Wednesday last, except that which rela
ted to the occurrences iu the river, on
which point testimony was tot taken
belore the Commissioner. Willis was the
chief witness for the prosecution, and the
proof of the prosecution was that he was
assaulted and ironed by the Captain when
near Savannah, and ironed and put in the
lazaretto for refusing to sign articles.
The Captain testified that the reason he
tried to make the negro sign articles was
that he knew he was not complying with
the law unless be got his signature. Wil
lis was kept in the lazaretto half au hour.
In the river he was chained and gagged,
and taken before the Magistrate in chains.
It was claimed by the defense that Wil
lis was only ironed and gaarged to silence
his cries, and also claimed that the pro
ceedings could not include what took
place in the Savannah river, because he
had then been paid otl" and had ceased to
be one of the crew. The defense asked
the court to charge on this point. The
case was argued at length.
Judge Boarman, in his charge, held
that Willis must be considered one of the
crew from the time be went on the vessel
until he left her. The chief point to be
decided by the jury was, whether the
punishment inflicted was necessary. The
act of Congress contemplates undue
punishment by a master out of malice,
hatred or revenge. If the punishment
went beyond punishment necessary for
discipline, then it was malicious because
wrongful.
At midnight the jury had not agreed.
They had taken possession of the court
room, and there is no likelihood of a ver
dict being reached before to-morrow.
Judge Boarman had gone to bed. Some
of the jurors were asleep on the floor of
the court room, and others were engaged
in a lively discussion dver the ease. It
was reported that the jury stood 7 to 5 for
conviction.
NEW RAILROAD RESTAURANT.
The Dining Hall in Course of Erection
at the S , F, & W. Depot.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company a few .weeks ago di
rected its architect. Mr. Albert F. Gart
ner, to prepare plans for a building suit
able for a dining ball and restaurant at
the depot in this city. The plan upon be
ing submitted was approved and Mr.
Moffatt, one ol the ea penters employed
by the company, was placed in
charge of the erection of the
structure. Work was begun about three
weeks ago, and it is expected that the
building will be ready tor occupancy
about the middle of December. It is lo
cated on the east side of the platform
leading to the passenger depot, and i6 a
one-story wooden structure 98 feet in
length, 32 feet in width, including two
platforms, each about 4 feet wide, on the
east and west sides, and 17 leet in the
c ear betwi en the floor and ceiling. The
structure is divided into five apartments—
store room, pantry, kitchen, dining sa
loon and lunch room. The ceiling and
walls will be plastered, and a course of
wainscotting, about four ieet in height
above the floor, will relieve the appear
ance oi the interior. The window casings
will be of Georgia pine and black walnut,
bearing raised medallions of walnut and
pine at the upper corners of each window
on the inside. The building is in the cot
tage style of architecture, and similar in
general appearance to the dining saloon at
Wayeross, though some of the exterior
woodwork is of a newer design.
The privileges of the structure have
been leased by the company to an ex
perienced caterer, who is expected to
arrive here about the time the building is
to be finished. The exterior color ot the
building will tie French gray, relieved by
contrasting colors on the trimmings and
bracket ornaments.
AMUSEMENTS.
The December Attractions at the Thea
ter—Clara Morris During Holiday
Week.
The December attractions at the Thea
ter will include two engagements. This
week Gus Williams in “Captain Mish
ler” on Tuesday night, and “One of
the Finest” on’Wednesday night, with
Morton & Bell’s “Our Strategists,” ou
Thursday and Friday nights.
“Capt.’ Mishler,” Mr. Williams’ new
play is a sequel to “One of
the Finest,” with which amuse
ment people everywhere are familiar, and
details the adventures of “John Mishler,”
the stupid, good-natured patrolman, since
his promotion to a captaincy in the
“finest” police force in the world. The
author was given a certain character,
already complete, and instructed to weave
a story of sufficient interest about it to
hold the attention of the audience during
the star's absence from the stage. It was
written to present Mr. Williams in the
best possible light.
“Toe Strategists” is equally familiar
with the most popular play cn ’the stage
to Savannah’s amusement people. The
Chronicle says ol a recent performance in
Augusta: “This popular comedy enter
tained the audience and drew from them
continued expression ot approbation. It
is one of those thoroughly funny things
which never palls and never flags, and
which furnishes fun without end. The
company is a good one and keens the
points well before the people.
Among the other attractions of the
month will be “Romany Rye,” Neil Bur
gess in “Vim,’ and Clara Morris for two
nights during Christmas week.

THE CENTRAL’S SCHEME.!
A FEW POINTS FOR COUNCIL TO
LOOK INTO.
The Proposed Freight Railroad Along
the River Front Connecting the Upper |
and Lower Wharves—How it Would
Affect Wliatf Property —A Question for
Careful Municipal 1 bought.
A along the published ordinances now
pending before Council, and awaiting its
action, is one entitled “An ordinance to
permit the Central Railroad and Banking
Company ol Georgia to run a track from
its present system of tracks on the west
ern side ol the west side oi the Savannah
and Ogeechee canal to Randolph street, in
the city of Savannah, and thence along
River 6treet to the Bilbo canal.” It is
therein proclaimed to be the great pur
pose of this ordinance, that it
to bring again into active use the wharves
in the city of Savannah which have been
idle for a great length of time.
The citizens of Savannah and those in
terested in property along our river front,
placing that construction upon the object
and meaning ot this ordinance, which its
plainly proclaimed purpose alone seemed
to warrant, were disposed to yield it
hearty acclaim as a wise measure of pub
lic progress, intended only for the com
mon welfare of this community and de
manded by the growing commercial and
shipping interests ot the port. Council
has not been called uponrfor years to take
final action upon any question of greater
significance or one charging with weight
ier responsibility the members of that
body, individually and collectively; and
the public to :-e affected by its procedure
will watch with jealous scrutiny the min
istration of a public trust allotted to pub
lic servants for the public good.
Well may Council declare in this its or
| ilinance, that it is desirable to bring again
i into active use the wharves in the city of
' Savannah, which have been idle for a
great length of time: and consistently does
; it carry out its declaration, wheuin6ection
1 it defines the route and limits proposed,
and grants such privileges of construction
“as may be necessary to bring into gen
eral and more profitable use the wharves
along the city front.” The owners of prop
erty aloug the city front best realize the
long continued idleness of the wharves,
the emptiness of their warehouses, anil the
unprofitable condition of their holdings,
since the construction ot wharves
and warehouses on the east and west by
| the great railroad corporations, and iu-
I vested with thecrosvniugadvantaye ot ac
cess by rail, has resulted in the destruc
tion of their consequence and the absorb
tion of their life. The building of a road
as proposed in said ordinance would cer
tainly restore a portion of the lost value
ol wharf and warehouse property between
East and West Broad streets along the
river front, and would thereby secure a
benefit to the general public by increasing
the revenue of the city to be derived from
the taxation of the property so enhanced
in value.
Stores now idle in this section could
and would be utilized for the storage of
grain, hay, flour, sugar, molasses, bacon,
coffee, bagging, etc., which would be re
ceived at these points by rail and de
livered for shipment, or transfer, by the
same means. Cotton could be delivered
i at all the presses and most- of the ware
houses row existing by rail ami trans
ferred for shipment from point to
! point by the same mode of eon
j veyance. Vessels loading at any of
! the wharves could be reached by gang
ways through the stores on the north side
i of the alleyways, through which the road
would run. These and many other ad
vantages would result from the building
of the line through the city. It is the
clear duty of Council, as trustee for the
public, iu giving to a powerful rail
road corporation the right to create a per
petual servitude upon the public thor
oughfares, to guard its grant with saluta
ry and well-considered restrictions. No
measure of so vast importance, reaching
far into the luture of the city, should be
hastily considered or improvidently con
summated.
Does the ordinance in question give
evidence of cautious deliberation and ot
careful municipal forethought? We think
not. “Festina lente” is a wise maxim in
such cases. The character of the engines
and motive power to be employed should
be defined. The length of trains
should be prescribed. There should be
some provision for the uncoupling
of trains which stop and block
a crossing. The track should be watered
in dry weather. The rate of speed should
be regulated. There should be some pro
vision for keeping the track clear, and for
seeing that it is so kept clear in order to
prevent accidents. Transfer charges should
oe uniform to all points on the same arti-
cles of merchandise. The track
should be required to be so built
that the platform of the cab shall
be made level with the second
story from wharf front of the buildings on
the north side of alley ways. There
should be an absolute limit, say not less
than one year, for the commencement of
the work ’and the use of the franchise
granted. There should be a condition an
nexed to the grant that the whole line, as
stated in said ordinance, shall be com
pleted within a fixed time, say in one to
two years from the crossing of the canal
by the track of the Central Railroad, and
a forfeit should be provided if this is not
done.
Many other important provisions which
should be rigidly insisted upon will be
suggested by consideration and discus
sion. It is now reported that the Central
Railroad dees not intend to construct a
line of track further east than West Broad
street, and to avail itself of the broad fran
chise conferred only to accomplish a spe
cial purpose. The necessity on the par
of the public custodians of the rights and
interests of this community to guard
against a partial construction of this line,
which would wholly defeat the great purt
pose proclaimed in the ordinance, is thus
obvious and imperative.
If tbe line be built only to West Broad
street no general benefit can result, and
the purpose of the grant of so important
a franchise utterly fail. One cotton press,
one cotton warehouse, one wholesale gro
cer’s warehouse and one coal dealer’s
yard would receive benefit, with perhaps
some advantage to the Planters’ and Up
per Rice Mills, and these special privileges
to particular interests and individuals
would accrue to the detriment ot other
parties in the same lines of business. Spe
cial facilities extended to one piece of
property must necessarily diminish the
importance and value ofother property not
so privileged. Besides the injury to the
street, thus partially occupied by tracks,
would inconvenience and damage others
compelled to continue tbe. use of drays by
reason of the non-extension of the track.
Should the Central Railroad fail to build
the entire line or object to the terms to be
prescribed other corporations or in
dividuals doubtl 69 will offei to do so,and
a barren franchise not used is calculated
to deter others from applying for similar
privileges. It is not to be presumed for
one moment that our City Fathers would
knowingly consent to a prostitution of
their delicate and responsible trust, for
such it surely would be, to great
a franchise f<>r the public good ostensibly,
knowing that it was to be used only f< r
private gain. The law and public senti
ment accord to the Mayor and Aldermen
the right to grant certain franchises
which will result in general municipal
advantage. Neither law nor opinion con
firm authority to accord special privileges
or to foster” monopolies. Their charter
gives them power to make, ordain
and establish such ordinances as shall ap
pear to them requisite and necessary for
the security, welfare and convenience ol"
the city and its inhabitants. They may
levy taxes, establish markets, adopt a
system of drainage, build street railways
or farm out the privilege, and carry out
various purposes of public utility. Did
it ever ent?r into the brain of any muni
cipal trustee that, under the fundamental
law, he could vote for partial
taxation, or for the establishment of a
market for the benefit of a private indivi
dual, or drain the lands of a favored citi
zen, or build or consent to the building of
a street railway for the accommodation of
a private party, a particular place of
traffic, or a piece of special property only,
such action would and should be political
death and public disrespect to the per
former?
We feel sure that all thoughtful citizens
who have the good of the entire commu
nity at heart w r ill call upon Council to
Eause until it knows just what use is to
e made of the valuable franchise it pro
poses to grant.

AMONG THE .MARKET GARDENERS.
The Effects of the Drought on the Truck
Farms—The Need of Rain to Save the
Crops.
The protracted dry weather which pre
vailed in this section of the country for
several weeks caused serious forebodings
among the truck farmers in the vicinity
of the city, lest there would not be mois
ture enough in the soil to assure the full
development of vegetables before a frost.
The recent rains, however, have dispelled
the apprehensions.
A News reporter called upon several
gardeners yesterday. Among the vege
tables which most needed rain were
turnips, beets, radishes, celery, cab
bages and endive, the former less than
the others for the reason that they ha 1
fully matured on a majority of the farms.
Perhaps the vegetable most in need
cf moisture was the cabbage,
upon w bich a great deal of time, money
labor and land is annually given by the
growers for both local and Northern
markets. It is estimated that over 50,000
cabbages along the line ef the Thunder
bolt road east of the city would have been
stunted in growth, if hot ruined, it the
rain had not come. The acreage on that
side of the city is limited compared to that
on the west side. It is roughly
estimated that at least 200,000 cabbages’,
• besides other vegetables, are being grown
i in the county west of the city. The value
[ of the crop can be readily calculated by
any one who is in the habit of purchasing
these products. In the market yesterday
cabbages were retailed at 10 cents a head,
or two heads for 15 cents.
HAWKIXSVILLK’S SEW SCHEME.
Seeking an Outlet to Savannah byWay
of the Central Railroad.
Capt. W. A. Jeter, who arrived in this
city on Friday from Hawkinsville, was
in conference with a number of merchants
and business men and Central Railroad
cflicials yesterday, with a view to secur
ing the construction of anew road from
Hawkinsville to Dublin, a distance of
about 35 miles, to connect with the road
now in construction from Dublin to Ten
nille, thus making an outlet from Hawk
insville to the Central, forming a connec
tion with Savannah, and creating a mar
ket for the cotton and other products of
the Hawkinsville territory. The territory
adjacent to Hawkinsville is now without
any available outlet in this direction.
Capt. Jeter was one of the movers of the
Hawkinsville Navigation Company which
sought to put in operation a through line
of steamers to Savannah last summer,
but owing to certain difficulties hard to
overcome the project was abandoned.
The present scheme, if carried out, it is
claimed, will open a tine country for agri
cultural purposes. It will also place
Hawkinsville in direct rail connection
with Savant.ah. A News reporter called j
at the office of President Raoul with a
view to ascertaining how the Central
would entertain the project. Capt. Raoul
is, however, in New York, and the matter
is not yet in a tangible shape.
A Mistake Corrected.
Quitman, Ga., Nov. 28.— Editor Morn
ing Mews: I left Savannah last night on
business. This afternoon I was more
than surprised to find my name mentioned
in the News as a possible seeker after
the office of Collector of the port of Sa
vannah. This is the first time I ever
heard of my name used in connection
with that office.
lam not a candidate and never have
been, and any use of my name for said
office is totally unauthorized. 1 would
not and could not accept the office if it
were tendered to me. I teel that an in
justice has been done mo in mentioning
my name in the matter. You are suffi
ciently acquainted with me to know that
I do not want such an office.
Respectlully, B. A. Denmark.
[The mention of Mr. Denmark’s name
in the article referred to was entirely a
mistake and resulted from a misunder
standing of the reporter. Mr. Denmark’s
name had not been heard of in connection
with the office of Collector of Customs in
street gossip or in any other way.— Ed.]

America Ahead.
The American manufacture of a re
markable floor covering, “Linoleum,”
is now acknowledged to be so superior to
the foreign article that only inferior
grades can be imported. Beyond all con
troversy, the superiority of the American
make of these goods is proven. The home
made coeds make a perfect floor cloth of
durability and artistic effect beyond dis
pute. The Walton Trade Mark with the
word “Linoleum” is on the back of
every square yard. All carpet dealers
keep it. In use, the foreign will look
duty and dingy, the American bright and
clean.

Day In the Clerk’s and Sheriff’s
Offices.
The Superior Court will convene for the

Advertising is good, but an extraordi
j nary medium for displaying it has been
discovered. We find that our customers
i are our best advertisements. Their satis
; acti on with our goods is too apparent,
i hence every suit sold brings us two or
! three new customers—the latter invaria
i bly are surprised to find “ready-made”
' goods of such fine materials, and so well
made up. Our stock is never allowed to
“run down at the heel,” and is as com
plete to-day by replenishing, as it was at
the beginning of the season;; in tact there
are more attractions than ever, including
anew supply of fine dress suits in four—
button cutaways, all shades, black, blue,
wine, and brown; straight-cut, and cut
away Sack Suits in handsome patterns.
Although we have all sizes, large and
small, we make a specialty of young men’s
