THE GItAN O CENTRAL GARDEN
COMPLETELY DESTROYED.
Wehrenherg* Barroom and Board Inc
honse Opposite the Marshall l’art-y
Burned—The Tppcr Floor* Gutted ar.d
the Boarders Have a Narrow Escape—
Looses Fully Covered by Inaurssnce.
Broughton street was visited by a $4,000
fire early this morning. At 1:W oclock
an alarm was sounded from box 5,
Broughton and Abercorn streets, caused
by the discovert’ of a blaze in the restau
rant and oyster house kept by Jos. Sellin
ger, at No. 94 Broughton stieet. opposite
the Marshall House. Before the depart
ment arrived the fire had got under head
way, and the entire interior of the place
was a mass of flames. As soon as the
engines were got to work its progress
was checked, but not before it had com
municated to the adjoining four-story
brick and frame building on the west
occupied by W. A. Wehrenberg, the tirst
floor as a barroom, and the three upper
floors as a boarding house. Only the
first story of this building was brick", and
the flames starting through the roof of
the oyster house, caught In the light
wood work, which was soon burning
fiercely from the second floor to the roof.
The oyster house was a low one-story
glass-roofed structure, formerly known as
the Grand Central Garden. Mr. Selling
er’s loss on furniture, etc., will probably
not exceed S3OO, and is partly covered by
insurance.
The building occupied by Mr. Wehren
berg is owned by Capt. Henry Blun. The
upper stories were completely gutted.
The procress of the fire was so rapid that j
very little could be saved except clothing !
and a few 6mull pieces of furniture, which
were remov* and to the Marshall House and
idled up in the office and corridor.
A aood deal of small stuff was thrown
through the windows to the sidewalk, and
was drenched with wafer before it could
be got away. Nlr. Wehrenberg saved
very little. The upper floor was occupied
by Frank Zink and family, who were the
only boarders in the house at
the time. Mr. Zink lost everything and
barely escaped with his two children and
a few pieces of clothing snatched up as !
they hurried out of the building. The fire
burned fiercest on the upper floor and in
the roof, the lower floors being less dam
aged. Tbe firemen worked iearlessly and
streams were played from every side un- j
til tbe tire was got under controi.
The height of the building standing be- \
tween two low-roofed structures enabled i
the firemen to work to a good advantage, !
and it is due partly to this fact that it ,
w-6 saved from total destruction. As it
was, tbe flames were confineu chiefly to
the upper floors and the roof. The build- '
ing was estimated to lie worth about :
$5,000, and was insured for $2,000.
The oyster bouse was completely gut- I
ted. Only the front walls remained stand- |
ing, the interior being totally burned out. I
The tire when discovered was in the rear
part of the oyster house, adjoining a stable
and storehouse back of the restaurant—
the stable occupied by Mr. Wehrenberg,
and the storehouse by Capt. John Deist.
It was burning fiercely when first seeu.
State
OF
■Weather.
It* origin is unknown.
Mr. Se!linger told a News reporter that
fie closed his place at 12:50 o’clock and
wont homo. He hfd ju*t gone to bed
when tbe alarm was sounded. There was
a light left burning in the place, and he
was at a loss to account for the
origin of the fire. It could
not have originated irom his
boilers and range which were ou the
Broughton street side of the building,
opposite to where tne lire was discovered.
Mr. NVehrenberg’s place was closed about
12 o’clock.
The firemen were still at work at 3
o'clock, with the fire completely under
control. The total loss on the two build
ings will probably not exceed $3,000, and
is fully covered by insurance.
KNGINE “SO. i.”
The Old “J. J. tt aver" Returned from
the Manufactory with New Name.
The steam fire engine “Waver” No. 2,
which was sent North to the La France
j Manufactory at Elmira, N. Y., last Oc
tober to be overhauled and rebuilt with a
1 new boiler, was returned yesterday on
the steamship Juniata from Phila
delphia. and was hauled up from
the wharves to the engine house
i l&st night. Her machinery will be put in
i working order the early part of this
week, when she will be tested and turned
i over to the department. The general ap
pearance of the engine is unchanged ex
cept in a few minor details, the only part
was rebuilt being her boilers, the
wheels a** 4 gear haling been re
built about a i £ ?r a -°-. T h ° name
“J. J. Waver,” tlle or ‘gina name
of the engine before prefect de

far as* the ™*£*l&*
concerned, ...re practically
new. The wav , or .yj 0- o,” as she
1 will now jj nown< h as had quite a re
markable history. She was originally
Ia part of the tire department of Hilton
| Head. During the war the Federal Gov
-1 eminent organized a fire service for
| the protection of the military store
i houses and other property at that
! point, and the “Waver” was then
known as the “United States” No. 1.
She was built by the Au.oskeag Manu
facturing Company, Manchester, N. H„
in 1562, and was bought from the govern
ment by the old “Germania Fire Compa
ny” No. 10, of this city, in ISOT, for $3,000.
Tne mgine was purchased from that
company by the city, and when the "Ger
mamas” went out of service in January,
1877, the engine was turned ever to the
j “Waver Steam Fire Engine Company”
No. 2.

Officer Banghn’s Tussle with a Negro ;
Thief and Uia Narrow Escape from a ,
Fatal Wound.
A notorious negro named Scipio Green,
while resisting anest about 8 o'clock last
night near the Market, made a desperate
assault on Officer Baugbn and came near :
severing the officer’s jugular vefn with a
sailor's knife. „ . .
While in the clothing store of L. Luch- |
man, on St. Julian street, Green stole a j
pair of pants. As he was leaving the I
store the theft was discovered by the pro
prietor, who called on Officer Baugbn to |
arrest the thief. The negro made a vigor- j
ous resistance and a struggle took place
between him and the officer, dur
ing which he drew a large sailor’s knife '
and made a desperate cut at the side of the j
officer’s neck. The weapon grazed the j
flesh, but fell short of its mark, and be
fore he could strike another blow the !
officer had him under control. lie was
locked up at the barracks, charged with

guards from the Old Town convict camp,
arrived in the city yestsrday afternoon
and left again via the Central Bailroad
last nicht, taking with him Eason Smith
and Thomas 11. Roderick, two convicts
recently sentenced to the penitentiary.

Kocal FtTMoniil,
Mr. Joel Gutman, one of the largest dry
goods merchants of Baltimore, is in the
city fur a day or two on route to Florida
and New Orleans. Mr. Gutman did a
large business in Savannah years ago
when the old firm of Hess, Gutman & Cos.
was one of the leading firms here. It was
one of the first grocery houses that began
business after the evacuation of the city
by the Confederates. Mr. Gutman speaks
in glowing terms of the kindness he has
received at the hands of old friends, and
says he believes one of the biggest mis
takes he ever made was when he quit Sa
vannah.
Among the arrivals at the bereven

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1885.
THE DIAMOND CROOK LIT OCT.
The Police and Detectives Without a
Clue—The Dodge cleverly Worked.
The accomplished “crook” who swin
dled M. Sternberg out of a diamond ring
and watch valued at SIOO on Friday, is
still at large, and has probably succeeded
iu getting away from the city. The police
and private detectives have been active
and vigilant in trying to effect his arrest,
but he has eluded their vigilance, and is
nn doubt seeking other fields in which to
practice his crookedness.
Inquiry about the city yesterday failed
to develop any other of his efforts at
swindling, and if he found other victims
they have remained silent on the subject.
It appears that Marshall selected the
best time possible to have young Stern
berg accompany him to the Pulaski House,
and be must have made himself thorough
ly familiar witn the house before begin
ning his game. At the time he had the
goods carried there a number of
guests bad just arrived from incoming
trains, and tbe office and corridors were
filled with strangers and tbe clerks were
all busy. After he got the ring and
watch from Sternberg the latter saw him
go upstairs as though going to his room to
bring down the lady members of his fam
ily to look at the jewelry he had with
him. Sternberg came out of the parlor
and watched for him at the foot of the
stairs, but the rogue no doubt came down
by another stairway, and by mingling
with the crowd in the office easily made
his escape without attracting attention.
A FREIGHT TRAIN DERAILED.
A Wreck on the Central Delays the
Mails—Nobody Injured.
Twelve ears of Section B of Freight
Schedule No. 10 on the Central Railroad,
leaving Macon at 7 o’clock p. m., were
thrown from the track at mile-post No.
132 Friday night. It appears that the ca
boose of "Section A of the train, from
some unknown cause, jumped the rails,
and. running on the cross-ties, damaged
the track for a considerable distance.
The train was finally stopped, but belore
the men could get back to warn Section
B, it came to the damaged place in the
track and twelve cars were derailed.
Nobody was hurt and the damage to the
cars is "small. The most serious result
was the delay of trains. The mail train
leaving Savannah Friday night did not
reach Atlanta, but transferred its mail
and passengers at the wreck to the train
coming to Savannah and took on the lat
ters mail and passengers bringing them
back, and arriving here about 2 o’clock
yesterday afternoon. The Atlanta ex
press and mail, due in Savannah at 3:20
yesterday afternoon, did not arrive until
10 o’clock last night.
The mail train leaving Savannah yes
terday morning got through ail right, "and
the trains are all running now a usual.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Week's Attraction* at the Theatre
and the Ford’*.
The week’s attractions at the Theatre
will open to-morrow night with "The
Planter’s NVife’’ by the Harry Lacy Com
pany. The play was presented by the
same company, with one or two changes,
last season. It is a story of the war. The
plot is cleverly worked out, and the in
cidents and situations tend nearer the
truth than is usual in society plays. This
'is due to Mr. Lacy's own genius. When
he tirst saw the play, which is the pro
duction of an Elmira (N. Y. gentleman,
and was written for Charlotte Thompson,
he recognized at once its possible suc
cess, and purchased the manuscript,
altering it so much from the original that
it is scarcely recognizable. The sale of
seats indicates a fine audience.
The renowned artiste, Mile. Aimee. the
queen of opera bouffe, will appear on Fri
day and Saturday nights in the comedy
“Mam’zeile.” Aimee's success in
J opera bouffe is said to be fully
j equalled by her appearance in
i English comedy. She is supported by a
| company highly indorsed and-Mam'zelle” j
I is pronounced one of the cleverest things j
j of the day. It abounds in novel and hu- j
! morous situations, and affords Aimee suf
ficient opportunity to display the many
characteristics of "acting that have made i
her so famous. Her English is said to be j
very good, her enunciation perfect, with
just sufficient accent to make It extreme- j
ly pleasant. In “Mam'zelle” Aimee will j
sjnjr her popular English, German,French !
and bpamsh songs, including “Prettv as !
ab^ iCtWeß,> * n ~ s^e * s ihcompar- ,
On Wednesday evening and at I” |
day matinee the Gen. and Mr -^urs-j
ton reception, for the . Washing- .
copal Orphans H-' ..refit ot the Epis- !
be the attr' building fund, will
terte- action at the Theatre. The en- i
..ament, which Is being arranged j
with the greatest care and study, will
I doubtless be one of the most attractive >
and enjoyable amateur entertainments of
1 the season.
At the Fords’ Opera House “The Social
j Glass,” a temperance drama, will be pre
; sented on Wednesday evening for the
| benefit of Savannah Lodge of Good Temp
; lars. The play will be produced under
1 the management of Mr. F. Eugene Derbec,
| of the Keene Dramatic Association.
THE MAIL CARRIERS.
Their Work In January—February the
Hljg Month of the Year.
: The Savannah mail carriers did a lively ]
j business in January. The amount of j
I matter handled by them was 209,008
pieces, of this amount 100,742 pieces i
were delivered and 103.260 pieces col- I
lected from the boxes.
Superintendent Coolidge in his monthly i
report gives the following summary of j
the work in the carriers’ department:
Delivered—Registered letters 702, mail
letters 90,274, mail postal cards 19,341, lo- j
cal letters 9,077, local postal cards 6.386, j
newspapers 39,992.
Collected—Letters 93,974, postal cards j
22.034, newspapers 7,258.
February, although the shortest month j
in the year, always" brings work to the |
carriers with St. Valentine’s day, when j
the mails are burdened with the missives
custom has thrust upon the world.
AMONG THE TRUCK GROWERS. j
The Gardens Not Injured by the Rairs— ;
The Outlook for Good Crops.
The 6torm which visited the city and !
surrounding country on Thursday night
does not appear to have done any serious
damage to the truck farms. A News re
porter called on a number of the vege
table growers yesterday and was informed
that the crops are in good condition, the
hail which accompanied the storm for
tunately not injuring any of the plants.
The prospects of a good yield of the :
different kinds of vegetables are as good ;
as thov generally are at this season of the i
year, notwithstanding the heavy rains of i
week before last.
The Cadets’ Prize Drill.
The annual prize drill of the Savannah (
Cadets will take place at the Ogle- j
thorpe barracks Wednesday evening,
Feb. 25. The event, which is always a j
: noteworthy one in military circles in Sa- j
vannah, is looked forward to with a good j
] deal ot interest, not only by the military
! but by the citizen friends of the corps.
After the prize drill an exhibition drill
! wiil be given. The company has been
| drilling actively for the past two months
I in preparation for the Mobile contest in j
j May, and is in a better condition than it
‘ has"ever been iu point of practice and
j equipment. The Cadets will probably ap
pear in their new helmets, and will make.
i in every respect as tine a display as has
i ever been witnessed in this city.
ThePurliu Masquerade.
The Youths’ Historical Society will
give its annual I’urim masquerade ball at

TITE EASTERN WHARVES.
DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY
BELOW THE CITY.
Additions Being Made to tbe Wharves of
the Savannah, Elor.da and Western
Railway—New Warehouse* for the Re
ception of Freight*—A General System
of Improvement*.
To one who does not frequently visit
the eastern wharf front cf the city the
vast improvements that have been made
in that section are surprising. They
show that the needs of tne port are fully
appreciated and met. There is a solid
wharf front running from the basin or
slip east of tbe Tyler Cotton Press
up to the Savannah, Florida and Western
Kailwav Company’s wharves. Ayearorso
ago this locality "was partly submerged
with water, and there were no wharves
lining this immense stretch of riverfront,
but during tbe past year it has been tilled
in with earth, lined with piling and cov
ered with sheds, affording magnificent
mooring accommodations for a very large
number of vessels. Even the basin is not
allowed as frequently to lay idle, but
is fully utilized. The cargo
of the Italian bark Idea, which put into
this port sometime ago in distress with a
•cargo of timber from Pensacola, is now
lying in the basin, having beer discharged
there so that the bark can go in the dry
dock for repairs, when she will return
and reload the cargo.
Below the basin is the fine new brick
and metal warehouse for cotton, in close
proximity to the wharf re
cently built by Messrs. W.
AV. Gordon & Cos., and connected with
a track from the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway running alongside,
which facilitates the unloading ot cars
with cotton or other freight upon the plat
' form of the warehouse, into which it can
j be trucked or put aboard the ships at the
; dock in tront.
Fast of this is Gordon’s wharf and na
val stores yard, which is complete for the
handling of naval stores both by lighter
and in the yard. The wharf is built over
new and commodious sheds for the hous
-1 ing of turpentine.
j Then come the immense wharves of
the Savannah, Florida anil Western Rail
, way stretching over a space of wharf
j front fully 2.500 feet. The two guano
• warehouses of the Savannah Guano Com
pany, anew bridge connecting both plat
forms, cover a large space. Im
j mense spars 80 feet high are
j built and used as hoisting derricks
i for the loading and unloading of vessels
{ at the docks. "The guano is taken from
! the ves&el in bulk and is carried over the
j bridges and runs into the warehouses,
i where it is put up in sacks. The next
i building on the wharf is the naval stores
j yard, the first being the immense turpen
! tine sheds, east of which are the immense
j “runs’’of rosin covering the entire space,
i Anew enterprise is also noticeable here,
i The Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way has dispensed with the naval stores
yard,which was formerly inclcsednear the
depot in what was called the upper yard. ;
A!1 the stufl' now goes to this wharf, and
| that which lormerly went to the Augusta
! steamers’ wharves, and in fact all the
naval stores coming into the city, go to !
Gordon’s wharf and to the Savannah, 1
Florida and Western Railway wharves,
and for this purpose the railway 1
company has increased its space, j
and has now ample room for all the naval j
stores arriving in the city. This facili- j
tates the handling of the shipments that j
go coastwise by steamer, and which are j
usually iightered, thereby doing away !
with the slow process ot drayaae. Tne j
foreign shipments, which usually go by j
sailing vessels, are filled up at the wharf. ;
East of this still comes tbe lumber
and timber wharves, where there are a !
number of sailing vessels loading for i
both foreign and coastwise ports. The !
whole space back of the wharf front and
the warehouses is one network of rail- ;
ways, where trains are continually arriv- I
ing and discharging their freights and j
taking on guano for the interior. At tbe !
further end of this wharf can be heard j
the clatter of the hammers and saws of I
the fifty-five workmen engaged in build- !
ing the new and powerful dredge for tne j
river and harbor service.
THE ORB OF DAY.
Prof. Richard A. Proctor's Lecture on
“Tlie Sufi'-' at Masonic Temple Last
Nlglit.
Prof. Richard A. Proctor dolivereu -. is
second lecture in Savannah before a large
and brill[* n t audience at Masonic Temple
,ast night. The subject of the lec.ure
was “The Sun.” Few subjects of greater
interest, begau the lecturer, cau be iDG
agined than the sun, the mighty ruler of
the solar svstem, controlling the move
ments of a family of worlds, some among
which are hundreds of times larger than
our earth. Tho glowing orb he charac
terized as an apt emblem of the Godhead.
It is the source of light and heat, and,
with ‘hem, of life itself, not only on this
earth, but on whatever other orbs, within
its sjstem, are the abode of life. The
winds blow, the rains fall, rivers flow,
glaciers urge their slow course, at the
sun’s supreme command. In this fiery
atmosphere float metallic clouds. Tor
rents ot molten metal pour from cloud
layers thousands or miles in depth.
Throughout bis whole frame, still though
he seems to us, prevails an uproar com
pared to which all noises known on eatth
are as silence.
The distance of the sun from the earth,
according to the latest and most accurate
estimate, is 92.700,000 mites. It would
take a train traveling at the rate of 500
miles a day, which is about the time
made between New York and San Fran
cisco, 500 years to reach the
sun, and the fare at the usual
rate would be $6,000,000. It would take
a cannonrball, fired from the best modern
gun, nine years to reach the sun if it
could keep up its speed. The sun is
1,250,000 times larger than the earth and
its strength is 32,400 times greater than
the earth. There is no light except the
electric light that will compare with that
of the sun, and all other light is dark
ness iu comparison. It would take
12,000 millions ot million tons of coal to
produce as much heat as the sun does a
minute, and if the sun was composed cf
coal it would burn out in 3,W0 years.
The sun has been working for at least
oue hundred millions of years. Whence
comes this great neat, he asked. II is re
ply- was that it is caused by continued
contraction of the sun, and that its real
globe is far within the surface that we
sec.
Prof. I’roctor then showed numerous
photographs of the surface of the sun by
the oxy-hydrogen light. He dwelt at
length on sun spots, and illustrated their
numerous phases. His theory is that they
are caused by eruptions from the interior
of the sun. He argued that the red flames
seen in eclipses are not gaseous mat
ter ejected upward, as has been held by
j astronomers. Columns of this matter are
often observed 100,CO Orniles biab, aud no
gas could be projected through the sun’s
atmosphere to that height. The lecturer
said that while the spectroscope has de
monstrated that they are gas, they are
! simplv trails ot meteors projected by the
| great energy ot the sun from its centre
; and thrown out into space. Millions of
i these meteors are thrown out by the sun,
and the millions of other suns in space
i are throwing out similar meteors, some
' ot which reach the earth. He closed his
1 lecture with an eloquent comparison of
! matter with the soul. Ue said that while
| man seemed but an atom in comparison
! with the endless systems that move
| through space, yet, "after all, these vast
bodies were infinitesimal in com purison
! with the human mind and soul.
THE WALKING MUCH OFF.
W’rcford Bruises His Leg and With
draws from the Track.
The 50-hour go-as-you-please walking
match between Davis and YVreford was
abruptly terminated yesterday morning
shortly after 8 o’clock by an accident to
Wretord. While running around the
track to overtake Davis, who was five
miles ahead, he slipped and fell against
one of the stakes, and bruised his leg
above the ankle. The injury, though not
serious, incapacitated him for continuing
the walk with any prospect of winning,
and, as Davis refused to proceed further
alone, the race was deolared off.

RIVER AND HAKIiOE.
The New Dredge of Messrs. Ross ’&
Sautord to be Ready for Operation
by March 1.
Messrs. E*ss <fc Sanford, the new con
tractors for dredging the Savannah river
and harbor, are building a dredge at the
lower end of the Savannah. Florida and
Western Railway Company’s wharves,
which, when completed, will be the most
powerful dredge in the South. It is ex
pected it will be iu operation on or be
fore March 1. The hull is about finished
and is ready lor the launch,
which would have taken place yes
terday had the tide proved suitable.
Should it be favorable the craft will be
launched early this w eek. The blocking |
foi the dredge yvas laid on Dec. 17. and
while the work is nearly all done it has ;
been delayed by the non-arrivafof the ma- !
chinery, which is not all here yet. A
small portion of it, with some ot the iron j
castings, arrived last Wednesday, !
the manufacturers mistaking the [
-oint of shipment for Charkston.

Tills ”“' s taVe costs the con
tractors, kCSmes delay in the work, S3OO
additional expense, w hich is understood,
however, will be borne by the shippers of
the machinery. The work of construct
ing the hull is under the supervision of
Mr. Edward Fair, a thorough mechanic
ot long experience, having been in the
employ of tne contractors for sixteen
years." and who has superintended the
building of nearly ail dredging machines.
The dimensions of the hull are as fol
lows: 93 feet in lenctb, 34 feet 4 inches
breadth, and 9 feet 9 inches over all in
depth. It is to be double-bottomed with
four-inch plank and sealed with timbers
and sheathing “double-clinched,” the
frame work being built according to the
“Howe Truss” style, which gives the hull
tremendous power and resistance, neces
sary for the charactor of the work she is
to be employed in, and the heavy
machinery anil iron work which will
have to be carried. The house work on
deck will be about 4S feet long, 23 feet
wide and 9 feet high. The machinery will
be of the newest and most approved pat
tern, and is being built by tbe Ledgerwood
Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn, N.
Y'. The craft is to be fitted with double
friction drums 14x18 feet friction ou both
ends, drum gearing 106 to 17 yvith 2 feet 2
inch pitch and 7 foot face, 6 inch shaft;
crank shaft 6 inches in diameter, and w ith
gypsy engines for hoisting spuds, which
are very complete, being of double j
action, going backward and :
fonvard, also gypsy shatts for turning !
her around, supplied yvith two hanging j
chains and achieves 2 feet 3 inches in
diameter, yvith brass boxes. She will have |
two spuds 24 inches square, with yvells.
There is also an A frame already com
pleted and which is a fine piece of work,
yvith three 2-ineh iron connecting rods.
This frame goes up forward. She is also
supplied with Gannon’s patent
multiple effect water condenser
with- copper pipes attached, and
wrecking pumps with two 6-inch sea- j
cocks for supplying and discharging
yvater. Neither "the dimensions of her
boilers and their power nor the power of I
her engines could be given by Mr. Fair, ;
as they have not yet arrived. It is their *
non-arrival that delays the completion of |
the wood work. The dredge ill draw
about five feet of yvater with all her ma
chinery in and ready for work.
gjTiie contractors are also build
ing a scow as a companion
of the dredge, the frame and yvoodwork
of which is already cut out. The yvood
material in both the dredge and scow is
i strictly of pitch pine. The dimensions of
i the scow are as follows: Length, 90 leet;
| width, 25 feet 4 inches: depth, 8 feet 0
I inches, the bottom to be sheathed with
: felt. The scow will be ready in
j about tyvo weeks. When both the
dredge and scow are completed
I their cost, it is estimated, Will be
i between $45,000 and $69,000. The firm has
! a smaller aredge on the way here from
Washington, where it has been dredging
i for two years past. They have also one
I of their dredges at work at Webayvken
! for the West Shore Railroad; one at
| Wicomico river, Maryland, yvorking for

DISSENSION AMONG THE COL
ORED MASONS.
Two pt* of Claimant* for the Grand
Lodge Office*—The l ode* Jewel* in the
Hand* of a Constable—A Suit Insti
tuted lo Settle their Ownership.
There arc indications that peace and
harmony do not not dwell quietly in the
lodge rooms of the Colored Ancient Free
and Accepted Masons of Georgia. A suit
was instituted in Justice Eisinger’s court
yesterday by A. S. Gordon, who claims to
be AV orshipful Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of the State, against Robert Bag
nell, a claimant for the same office, to re
cover possession of the Grand Lodge
jewels. •
The complications that lead to the suit
are the result of a secession movement in
the order. At the last meeting ol the
Grand Lodge, held Dec. 27, 1883, the by
laws were amended, changing the time
for holding the meeting ol the lodge and
electing its officers from December to
June; but no meeting of the Grand Lodge
was held last June, and the old officers
claim that they hold over until their suc
cessors are elected and installed. Some
ot the members of the order dissented
from this opinion, and claimed that when
the officers were elected previous to the
time the by-laws were changed they
were to serve until Dee. 27 last,
that being, at the time of their election,
the date on which the Grand Lodge would
meet to elect their successors, and they
could not hold office after that date. The
dissenters refused to recognize the offi
cers holding over after Dee. 27. The offi
cers continued to act, however, and sat
down with all their official dignity and
vigor upon any who opposed them in their
efforts to exercise their functions.
The result was that the dissen
ters called a meeting of Grand
Masters of the subordinate lodges through
j out the State, claiming that the Masters
had a right under the circumstances to
| elect officers of the Grand Lodge. There
was not as full a response to this call as
was expected, but several o! them as
sembled in Savannah Friday night, and
! claiming to have a quorum present, pro
ceeded to business. After canvassing
• the situation they concluded that some
means must be devised to get possession
of the jewels and property of the lodge to
enable the officers they proposed to elect
to act with proper authority. The jewels
were in possession of Robert Bagnell,
Grand Senior Warden, and they determ
ined to win him to their side by offering
to make him Grand Master if he wouid
join them and br.ng the jewels with him.
Tiie temptation was too 6troDg
for Bagnell, and he forsook his
previous resolution to stand by his old
associates, and he went over to the enemy
and was duly elected and installed as
Grand Master. Other officers were
elected, and there are now two sets of
claimants lor the honor of exercising the i
duties of the grand offices. The old ofii- '■
cials determined at once to* take legal I
steps to recover the jewels and sued out a ■
writ of possession 3 - esterday afternoon. '
The writ was placed in the hands ot Ofii- !
cer Sullivan, who immediately proceeded '
to take possession of the jewels, and the I
question of law and fact involved in the |
dispute w ill be adjudicated by the Justice. 1
The Manhattan Life Insurance Com
pany.
The thirty-fifth annual report of the
Manhattan Life Insurance Company,
| which appears in another column of this
paper, illustrates clearly two important
iacts, already noted by careful observ-rs
of the course of events in the business
world. One is steady growth, in times of
depression, of the sound, well-managed
institutions in wbich the public have
confidence founded on experience: and
the other is the disposition to abandon
speculative and doubtful enterprises in
favor ot the conservative and prudent in
vestment in insurance for the benefit of
families and friends. Despite the uni
versal dullness of business at large, tbe
new insurance of the Manhattan during
the past year has been unusually large.
and"a great part of the increase has come
from persons of moderate means, who
make insurance a permanent investment.
The second generation of the Manhattan’s
record opens favorably, and both old and
new patrons will find ample cause for
satisfaction in the thirty-fifth annual re
port. The figures are 'plain, and speak
plainly. That they worthily sustain the
record and the standing of the Manhattan
is all that need be
Tne Manhattan’s new form of policy is
extraordinarily liberal in it3 terms. It is
incontestable, after five years, for any er
rors, omissions or misstatements in the
application, except as to age. The sui
cide clause has been dropped, and losses
are now payable sixty days after receipt
of proofs, instead ot ninety days, as for
merly.
Tne Manhattan is peculiarly entitled to
the favorable consideration of our people.
It has never discriminated against our
section in rates or otherwise; its Savan
nah lossy s have all teen promptly met,
and it has never contested one here, and
it is, without exception, the only North
ern life insurance company which has
maintained an agency in Savannan unin
terruptedly since the close of tbe war.
It came South to stay , and this fact should
be appreciated at its full value by those
unfortunates who have suffered the an
noyance and risk of remitting their pre
miums to the head offices of companies
which, after spasmodic careers in Savan
nah, have taken up their agencies and
gone home. On all accounts we cordially
commend the Manhattan as an institution
eminently deserving of confidence ;■ and
patronage. Its Savannah agent is Cant.
R. H. Footman, who has represented it
ever since November, 1865.

A Friendly Chat,
and on such a subject as shoes, ought cer- I
tainly excuse this slight trespass on your j
time. Never before have we shown such j
a choice assortment of shoes as the one
that now makes this department the most
attractive in the store. Never before have ’
we been able to offer you so much value j
for so little money in return. Y'ou cau ;
now purchase from us the same makes as i
regular shoe stores keep at a saving of
irom 50 cents to $2 a pair. The reason for
this is very simple. We do not depend on
our shoe department to pay expenses us
exclusive shoe stores are compelled to do. j
Besides this, our Mr. Altmayer is con- ;
tinually at our New Y'ork office, where be
is ever" ready to accept bargains which ‘
are offered. "Another very good reason is
that we sell strictly for cash—no bad debts ’
to pay for in our house. The above are
a few of the many reasons why we can
1 reduce your shoe bills. We extend au
: invitation to you to call and look over our
stock, whether you wish to buy or not.
Y'ou will not be asked to do so, or your
I queries in regard to our goods meet with
! other than cheerful replies. Five minutes
: spent iu our shoe department will be a
! better argument in our favor than any we
