Frot'. Richard .A. Proctor's Lecture To-
Morrow Night.
Prof. Richard A. Proctor will deliver
his first lecture in Savannah to-morrow
night, on -The Lite of a World.” Prof.
Proctor lectured in Charleston last night,
where he aiso delivered his famous lec
ture on "The which he will deliver
in Savannah on Saturday night. Lew
modern scientists possess, in a larger
measure than Prof. Proctor the faculty of
clothing scientific facts in graceful aud
picturesque language, and he has added
fresh beauties to tne study of astronomy
by the glowing colors in which he has
described it. An eminent writer has said
his explanations are so easily understood,
and his reasoning is so conclusive, that
the clouds of doubt and perplexity, which
mar the pleasure of the average student,
disappear and he is delighted with the
harmoni -us bfcautv which the universe
presents. An evening cannot la? more
profitably or enjoyably passed than in
listening* to an elucidation of these celes
tial mvsteries. Prof. Proctor has a rare
gift for imparting instruction, speaking
with maivelous fluency, and summoning
at call the array of facts and theories
needed for the presentation of his theme.
••Lore and Law ”
ill!ton Nobles appeared before a tine
audience at the Theatre last night in his
new play, “Love and Law."’ Like “The
Ph<*>nix" and “Interviews’’ and Mr. No
bles’ other productions, it is sensational
in character, striking and startling in
plot and bright and sparkling in dialogue.
The plot is somewhat complicated, but in
the end it is fairly unraveled, and the
plav itself is unmistakably a success. In
the closing act Mr. Nobles has some tine
work in the imitation ol the Italian
“Conti.” This imitation was so perfect
in voice and action that, although it had
continued tor ten minutes or more, it was
not suspected bv the audience until the
return of “Conti” upon the stage. The
play was enthusiastically received.
The ••Firates” To-night.
The sale ot seats for the opera to-night

The cast will be the same, and having al

able" to give a better presentation of the
opera than last week. The sale of seats
will continue at Davis Bros.' this morn

A *IO,OOO Bust.
Capt. T. 11. Laird, received yesterday
from Capt. William Hunt, of Washing
ton, D. C.. a small bust of President-elect
Cleveland, composed of material that at
one time would have been valued at $ 10,-
000. The bust is made ot the pulp ot
greenbacks that have been redeemed and
macerated by the government and weighs
4>* ounces. It is a good likeness ot the
incoming President.
Capt. Hunt was formerly a resident of
Savannah, and occupied a position in the
custom house here. He is now employed
in the Department of the Interior at
Washington.
Ilown 160 Feet.
The artesian well had reached a depth

THE FAST MAIL.
The Service to be Discontinued Unless
Congress Makes the Necessary Appro
priation.
The continuance of the fast mail ser
vice is a matter of great importance to
the South. At present two daily trains
are run from W ashington to New Orleans,
making connections with the principal
points of Florida, one of these bringing the
mail through from New York and eastern
points, and run under the fast mail ap
propriation by Congress. The other dots
\ 1 cal business. Tf Congress should neg
lect to vote this appropriation, the result
would be that one train would have to do
the work now required of two. In other
words, while one train now is assigned
chiefly to ioeal business, and so relieves
the other, enabling it to be devoted to the
rapid transportation of the mails—if the
railroads do not receive the compensation
from tie government necessary to defray
ing the expense of running the fast mail,
he local business aud mails will have to
depend on one train alone.
The time to Savannah under the fast
mail system is 26 hours from Sew York
and in proportion from _ Washington,
Baltimore and Philadelphia. The ser
vice formerly extended only as far
South as Charleston, but at the last
session of Congress it was extended to
Savannah and Jacksonville. The speed
of the fast train between Washington and
the latter terminus now averages about
36 miles an hour.
The officers of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway say that if no ap
propriation is made by Congress for its
continuance the fast train will be with
drawn at the end of the current fiscal
year. The post office appropriation bill con
tains no recommendation for a last mail
appropriation, but proposes to make the
comi>ensation for carrying the mails de
pend npon the space they occupy and the
speed at which the trains are run.
If this recommendation is adopted the
railroads say that it will not pay them to
provide fast trains to do the work now
done under the appropriation, and will
result in the discontinuance of the train
now leaving New York at 4 a. m. and ar
riving in Savannah at 6:41 the following
morning. The Southern mail would then
leave New York at 9 p. in. or 10 a. m., ar
riving in Savannah the following day at
5:52 a. m. or 7 p. m., making the delivery
here in the latter case fully twenty-four
hours later than it now is.
The railroads say that the difference
between the fast mail and the other maii
service should not be lost sight of. The
fast mail is a special service. The gov
ernment furnishes the railroad companies
with the plans of the ears they want and
the companies build them. The govern
ment makes the schedule upon which
they are run, specifies the speed at which
they shall go, and pays a certain sum per
annum to the companies for running
them. Of course, the railroads have the
privilege of running other ears in the
train besides the mail car. But no plan
whi< h the Committee on Appropriations
has recommended will warrant the con
tinuance of the train. It is generally be
lieved, however, that the appropriation
will l>e secured in the same manner as :t
was last vear. The bill, as recommended,
will go through the House, but will be
amended in the Senate by the insertion of
the appropriation, to which the House
will agree.

I'.mt Ottlce Inspector Booth Trap* a
Crooked Transfer Agent with Decoy
E. Piter*.
Miner M. Byrd, a negro about 25 years
old, who lives at Waycmss. was arrested
by l’ost Office Inspector Booth, yesterday
and brought to Savannah, charged with
embezzling valuable letters from the
United States mail.
Byrd has been employed recently as a
substitute transfer clerk at Waycross,
anil since he has been in that position a
number of registered packages contain
ing money have disappeared. About
two weeks ago seven valuable letters
were missed from one mail, and as Byrd
was on duty that day ihe postal authori
ties grew suspicious of him, and the case
was placed in the hands of Inspector
Booth. As transfer clerk, it was the duty
of Byrd to receive all mail brought to
Waycross bv the railroads centering
there and give a receipt for it to the postal
.•I. ik delivering it, and then transfer it to
other roads on the way to its destination.
Registered letters brought by any one
road and that have to lie tranferred to
another road are placed in a large en
velope. w hich is sealed, and in that shape
delivered by the transfer clerk to the
jw*vtal clerk on the route by which the
P >. kart* is to go.
Y'esi rilav morning Inspector Booth
placed three registered letters, containing
ditf. rent suras of money, in the mail
going to Waycross. and directed them to
Northern points. The letters contained in
all about $45, and would have to Ik*
transferred at Waycross to reach their
destination, and consequently would pass
through Bvrd's hands. Immediately after
the registered letter had been transferred
Mr. Booth went into the tiostal car and
examined them, and found that neither of
the letters he had mailed Bfere among
them, and that four other registered let
ters containing money were also mlssmg.
He Immediately placed Byrd under ar
rest. When the prisoner was arrested he
was asked if he had any money about
him, and produced sls in gold, which he
said was all he had. Mr. Booth then
searched him, and found $45 in greenbacks
on his person, lie brought his prisoner
to Savannah last, night and was met at
the depot by Marshal Wade. Byrd was
taken to jail in default of $1,060 bail, and
will have a preliminary exam.nation be
fore Commissioner Beckett to-morrow.
THEY WAXr THE CENTRAL’S HELP.
The Greenville and Laurens Railroad
in Need of Money to Finish Its Con
struction.
A delegation of gentlemen from Green
ville, S. C., representing the Greenville
and Laurens Railroad Company, was in
tbe city yesterday in conference with
President Raoul, of the Central Railroad
and Banking Company, regarding
the completion of the former
road. The Greenville and Laurens
Railroad is 38 miles long and has been
graded, it commences at Greenville and
intersects the Greenwood, Laurens and
Spartanburg ltoad at Laurens. The
latter ro'ad is a continuation of the Au
gusta and Knoxville Road, which runs
from Augusta to Greenwood. The com
pletion of ihe Greenville and Laurens
Road would therefore connect
Greenville with the Central Rail
road svstem to which it
would operate as a feeder. The gentle
men representing the Greenville and Lau
rens Road were Hon. M. L. Mauldin,
President; Col. T. Donaldson. T. C.
Gower, and W. C. Cleveland, directors,
and Mr. John Furgeson, a prominent mer
chant of that place. ,
ihe conference with President Raoul
was informal, and nothing definite
was determined upon. The object
the representatives of the Greenville and
l.auiens Road have in view is to obtain
money to finish the construction of their
road 'and place it in operation. They
stated last night to a Niws reporter that
thev had not made an v definite proposition
to the Central, but had a plan under con
sideration which they are not yet pre
pared to make public.

THE REPUBLICAN BLUES.
The Corps I’mcntMi a Handsome Oil
Portrait of its Oldest Surviving Mein-
Ih’T.
An interesting incident occurred at the
meeting of the Republican Blues last
night, in the presentation to the company
of a handsome oil portrait of Honorary
Member Philip M. Russell, Sr. After the
transaction of the regular business. Col.
Clifford W. Anderson was Introduced by
Capt. Dixon, and stated that as an old
member of the company he had
leen called upon to discharge an
exceedingly pleasant duty. A few
weeks ago Hon. Philip M. Russell com
pleted the 51st year of his membership of
the Blues, and in compliance with the
request made by the members in antici
pation ot that anniversary, for a portrait
to adorn the armory, he was present to
lender the command the likeness asked
for and to express the sentiments of the
Blues in acknowledgment of the receipt
nf the gift. CoL Anderson continuing,
said that he w as sure he voiced the senti
ment of every honorary, veteran, exempt
and active" memlier of the Blues
when he said the request for the
portrait came not from a tew. but from
all the memliers. For more than bait a
century Judge Russell had been a faithful,
devoted and zealous member of the com
pany. Joining it under the chivalrous
and gallant Pooler, he remained on
its active list during the long
nu m tier of years, nearly 36. dur
ing which his own father, the late
Opt. Anderson, was in command, and re
ceived the active and zealous co-opera
tion of .Judge Russell in all matters per
taining to the welfareof tne company. Uni.
Auderaon referred to the memorable
parade on May 1,1860, when the com
pany turned out 203 strong, and how a
tew * days Indore Judge Russell had on
short notice been dispatched to the in
terior of the State to endeavor to secure
arms lor the recruits who were about to
make their first parade, and the tact,
skill and fidelity with which he bad
performed his duty. How soon after
wards the unhappy civil war came on.
and although the*declining years pre
vented his subjecting himself long to the
rigors anil exposures of the camp, the
\eteran memlier remained throughout
that memorable period the same active,
zealous and faithful Blue by filling up its
ranks from time to time with young and
active tnen, who contributed in making
the brilliant record the Blues have since
borne. When that disastrous period
closed, and the ‘“sword was turned into
the ploughshare,” and the difficult and
delicate task undertaken by their present
beloved and gallant commander, Capt.
Mercer, to reorganize the company, Hono
rary Member Russell was one of his
btaunehest supporters, aud contributed—
heart, soul, !>ody and purse—in resurrect
ing their tieloved old corps from the
ashes under the fires of that terrible
conflict, in which it had lo6t all
save its honor. From the day of joining the
Blues’ ranks, fifty-one years ago, up to
the present time Honorary Member Rus
sell has always studied and always been
devoted to its interests, and now in his
old age he was sure he would be sus
tained and cheered by the consciousness
of having faithfully performed every duty
incumbent upon him.
At the conclusion of Col. Anderson’s
address the portrait was unveiled, and
hung on the east wall of the armory, it
is a life-size oil painting representing Mr.
Russell in the old uniform of the com
pany, the breast facing on the coat being
of light blue,with three rows of silver but
tons, flanked by a border of dark blue
material, forming the remainder
of the coat with the fore
arm of the sleeves ornamented with ton
silver stripes, each stripe representing five
years, in a Idition to three stripes for hon
orary membership. The subject is repre
sented as holding bis uniform hat in his
right hand, the white plume falling to the
i-rown of the hat. Every feature is faith
fully portrayed.
The painting was set in a deep gilt
frame about three feet square, and on the
reverse side was shown the following:
“From Honorary Member Philip M. Hassell,
'othe Republican Blues, presented on the oc
casion of the anniversary of my lifty-tirst
years membership of the company. First pa
rade Jan. S, 1533.”
Upon motion of Adjutant Wilson, a
committee of five members, with Capt.
George A. Mercer as Chairman, was ap
pointed to prepare a series of resolutions
expressive of the sentiments of the mem
bers of the company for the gilt.
A, committee was also appointed to
wait on Judge Russell and request him
to attend the meeting and receive the
thanks of the command in person.
The committee after a few minutes
absence from the armory returned
with the donor, who was greeted with an
ovation, as soon as quiet was restored,
Judge Russell stated that the demonstra
tion hau almost unnerved him, and con
tinued by referring to bis connection with
me Republican Blues, aud reminded
those present of the motto of the com
pany : “Are we not brothers,” and ot the
duties and obligations ot fellow soldiers.
At the conclusion of Judge Russell's
speech, the members and guests enjoyed
a collation.

SOLD OUT BT LOAN AGENTS.
The American Mortgage Company of
Scotland Gobbles Up a Washington
County Estate.
The sale of a tract of land in Washing
ton county by United States Marshal
Wade on Tuesday, under an execution in
the case of the American Mortgage Com
pany of Scotland against Georgia A. Rob
son, reported in the News yesterday,
illustrates the evil effects of borrowing
money from the foreign loan companies
now operating in the South. These com
panies are organized tor speculative pur
poses, and are rapidly acquiring liens on
large landed interests in this and other
Southern States. Their mode of issuing
loans has !>een fully shown up in the
Morning News.
In the ease of Robson, the title to tbe
projierty passes to the company, and is
to'allv lost to him, after he has expended
upon the estate the money borrowed from
the company. In this ease it is true the
costs and interest have eaten up the com
pany's profit®, but they have the land,
and may jet succeed in getting as much
for it as they have expended.
The original debt and interest, to ob
tain whi'-h the property was sold, was
$1,875. The interest on this sum from
date of judgment. Sept. 17. ISS4, to time
if sale was $156 25; counsel fees, $497;
Clerks costs. $37 50: fi. fa.. $155; Marshal’s
fees. $25; cost of advertising, sl2 50; mak
ing the total amount ot charges against
thejiroperty $5,604 80.
The company bought it in for this sum
a:id thereby secures the title. The land
is not worth this money now, and it may
l*e that the biters have been bitten,
i’lar.ters are beginning to learn that
it is wiser to operate on a small
scale than to borrow of these foreign
corporations, hoping to meet their in
debtedness by producing large crops. A
bad season or a decline in the prices of
their products makes it impossible for
them to meet the interest when due, and
in that event they receive no mercy. The
large profits the corporations hope to
realize often depends upon this, and they
are never slow to take advantage of it.

the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Cou. -eous treatment makes

Strange World This,
and some funny people in it too. You
have all come in contact with some that
are never satisfied. They grumble from
morning until night—we heard a man
even grumble in bed. That man would
grumble at anything and everything
without reason; but this week we heard
a gentleman grumble with good reason.
He bought a suit ot clothes and paid a
good old-fashioned price for it, and, hap
pening to come into the “Famous,” he
was shown a suit of the same class ot
goods, and our price was $8 less than he
had paid. That gentleman had good
reason to find fault, and grumbled at this
bad luck, but it will lie a good lesson to
him, and lie will buy of the “ Famous ”
next time. YVe are through taking stock,
and now comm our annual clearing sale.
We will sell you anything incur line at
manufacturers’ cost. Our prize system
has worked charmingly, and yve made
dozens of people happy by giving them
prizes. We will keep it up. Call and we
will not only give you better goods,
cheaper than you cau buy anywhere, but
