TALKING IUGHER PRICES.
THR GAS WAR IJKF.LY TO END
IX A COMPROMISE.
The Situation Practically Unchanged
with Indications Pointing to an Karly
Termination of the Fight—Rumors of
a Further Cut Lack Confirmation—
What the New Company is Willing
to Do.
There are no new developments in the
gas war on the surface, but indications
seem to point to a termination of the
light belore the end of the present month.
Beginning with to-day the price of gas
will be 50 cents per thousand, and there
is veiy little probability that it will go
lower. It was whispered yesterday that
a further cut was being discussed by the
directors of the old company, but no
positive confirmation could be secured.
••There is nothing Dew in the situation,”
said President Green in reply to the in
quiry of a News reporter.
“There is very little probability
that the price will go any lower. In fact',
it can't be done,” said a "gentleman inter
ested in tne new company, and in a posi
tion to know what he was talking about.
The cut has created a lively stir among
the patrons of both companies, and fears
are entertained, if there is auv further
reduction, that a combination will be en
tered into, and the price will be
advanced to where it was three
years ago. This would naturally be
the result il the war is kept up," and
prices are reduced much lower. The
pledge of the new company to furnish gas
at not over *0 per thousand is the only
obstacle that exists in the way of such a
move. • providing an agreement could be
effected between the companies.
LIKELIHOOD OF AX ADVANCE.
Both companies claim that they are
bound to protect themselves, au l what
ever may be the outcome of the tight the
inference is that protection means higher
prices. The prediction at the beginning
of the war when the November reduction
was made, that there would be no further
cut, and that the price then settled upon
would tie maintained through the winter,
has been in part fulfilled. The peo
ple have had the benefit of
cheap gas for four mouths, and
they are prepared for au advance if it is
not a return to the exorbitant prices
charged prior to the organization of the
new company, It is evident that the cut
wbifch goes into e’llect to-day cannot last
long, although a gentleman largely inter
ested in the old company said yesterday
that it might continue during the sum
mer, so far as the company' was con
cerned. “The people have confidence in
us, and we have confidence in our com
pany,'' he said, “and we will furnish gas
as cheap as anybody, even if it comes to
giving it away."'*
DISCUSSING THE SITUATION.
A number ol the directors of the new
company were together last night infor
mally discussing the situation when a
News reporter dropped in. A gloomv
state of affairs was pictured in the office
of the old company. The new company,
it is claimed, is rapidly taking up sub
scribers, and Secretary Thompson
pointed to forty new metres placed in the
market and turned on for the first time
last night. The officers of the old com- j
pacy. however, deny that they have j
been damaged to any considerable i
extent by the competition, and say that 1
it is not true that their subscribers are 1
going over to the new company, as they
are represented to be. It is clear that
both companies have gone into the fight
with a bitter determination to win, but
what the result will be is just at present
difficult to forestall.
EFFECT ON THE MARKET.
The effect ol the fight has been to cause i
a drop in the old company's stock, which 1
was offered yesterday at two points be- !
low the day before. The stock of the new |
company was quoted at par. The way !
the matter now stands there is but three j
ways in which the war can be terminat- !
ed. One is for the companies to come to
a mutual agreement as to the
price. Another is for one company
to buy the other out, and a third is for the '
two companies to consolidate. Buying
out, however, aud consolidation in gas j
deals frequently mean the same thing, j
It is hinted that some other plan may be ;
resorted to, but w hat it is the projectors de- j
dine to state. It is generally understood,
and is so stated by the officers of the new j
company, that they are wilting to enter;
into a compromise with a view to putting !
up the price to $1 50 ter 1.000, which is
30 cents below their original guarantee, 1
and pledge themselves to keep it at that !
ffuure. No proposition has, however,
been made to the old com- |
pany, and its officers have :
not said whether ttvw- would accept an
overture of that kindrf it were made. It
is evident that some arrangement will lie
effected before the end of the month look
ing to an advance from the price which
goes into effect to-day, and which is lar
below the cost of production.

INAUGURAL DAY.
A Day to be Celebrated all Over the
Country.
The inauguration of President Cleve
land on Wednesday will be an event j
worthy of celebration all over the country.
The Democratic victory at the polls last i
November was celebrated in a
manner that will not soon # be

been suggested that there be a general
illumination oT the city on Wednesday
night. The decorations and many of the
lanterns and transparencies used in the
November demonstration are stored away
in attics, amt a display could be arranged
upon short notice. Savannah did fitting
honor to the national Democratic victory,
and it now remains for-her to commemo
rate the inaucuiation of a Democratic
President in a manner that will show the
sentiment of her people.
A general illumination of the streets
and business houses in the centre of the
city at night and a salute in honor of the
day lias been suggested.

The temi>erauce people of Savannah,
who have been considering the possibility
of securing a visit from Gov. St. John anil

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 1885.
BEHIND THE BARS.
Layton, the Advertising Swindler, Las-
KuUbiOK In His Cell.
One of the most accomplished adepts at
the art of swindling is confined in cell
No. f6, in the upper corridor of the jail,
awaiting trial under indictment as a com
mon cheat and swindler. His name is A.
G. Layton. The readers of the News
have heard of the individual before
through his crooked business transac
tions, which were shown up several
weeks ago. He is a stout, broad-shoul
dered man, and, as he stood at his cell
door yesterday dressed in a good-fitting
business suit.’ appeared about 5 feet 9
inches in height and apparently about 47
years of age. He usually wears a high
oval-crown Derby hat, w hich conceals a
forehead of medium height, thick but not
very closely-cut black hair, and a full
beard and moustache to match. His
complexion is fair, and a pair of deep
sunken gray eyes, with the most innocent
expression about them, closely scanned
his visitor. He looks as though he might
be a retired contractor accustomed to do
heavy work when occasion required it,
but who had abandoned labor altogether
and was living upon an income. He
speaks with the accent of a Scotchman
modified by the dialect ol a native Mis
sourian. At the same time he might be
classed as an Englishman who
had sown his wild oats and had
gone to selling machines for threshing
them. lie came to Savannah several
months ago, and undertook to supply some
ot the hotels with desks upon which were
to be displayed a number of cards of busi
ness houses. He told a N kws reporter a
few weeks ago that he netted over $7,C00
last year in the business, but somehow
since he had come to Savannah he had not
done as well.
During the first month of his stay here
he was spending his money almost as fast
as it was made, if not faster, to which
some of his creditors took exception,
chiefiv because after taking their note,
he surreptitiously obtained goods on ac
count of the paper which he had turned
over to a third party. Several days ago.
having a claim upon a well-known
merchant on the Bay, the latter gave
Layton a note, which he doposited in the
hands of a third party as security for
money he owed to this third party. A
day or two afterward be went to the' mer
chant, obtained goods amounting to
nearly the face value of the note on ac
count. and then disposed of them and
appropriated the proceeds. The third
party called on the merchant and remind
ed him that he would have the full value
of the note eventually to pay, The
merchant tueh sfiw for the first time that
he had been duped. These and similar
transactions were called to Layton’s at
tention by his bondsman, who surren
dered him to the Sheriff of the City Courf,
and he was committed to await trial un
der the indictment found against him by
the grand jury.
After being lodged in his cell Layton
said that his bondsman would never have
surrendered him if he had not got into a
passion; that Mr. Nicholson, who was his
bondsman, had since regretted his nasty
action, and that it was probable he would
again stand security for him. "Why,
sir,” continued the prisoner, “1 have $593
now in Nicholson’s sate —that is to say,
it is in good securities to that amount—
which will be as good as cash as soon as
my desks are placed in the hotels.”
“How have you passed the night?”
asked the reporter.
“Very bad. I'm not in the habit of re
tiring as early as they do here, and 1
have no light nor any cigars. They j
threw me in here so quick I hadn’t a
chance to get any money. Can’t you let
me have 15 cents? I’ll make it all right
with you when 1 get out of here.”
The News man assured him he wasn’t
a jail broker.
"My counsel,” continued Layton, “are
working hard in my interest, and I’ll be j
out again In a day or two and make things !
hum.”
AT THE THEATRE.
JanHUrChek and the “Silver King" the
Week’s Attractions.
The week's attractions at the Theatre |
will be Janauschek on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights and the “Silver King” j
the remainder of the week. Madame |
Janauschek will appear in her new play, j
“My Life.” The play is in four acts, and i
is the story of an English Baronet who, in j
the whirl of youthful dissipation, becomes j
infatuated with and secretly marries a !
Parisian singer ol unknown antecedents.
By the will of his unele the family estates
fall to him only on condition that he mar
ries his cousin Florence, offspring of an
other mesalliance. He sees aud loves
this cousin, and she returns his love; but
almost at the altar his better nature pre
vents him from committing bigamy. He
returns to his vulgar French wife to live
with her. Madame Janauschek, it is
said, displays great force and versatility
in the roles of “Leben,” a blind woman,
and “Circe Encore,” the French singer.
Madame Janauschek’s private car, in
which she travels, is one of the hand
somest ever built by the Mann Boudoir
Company, and is one of the features of
the actress’ life. The sale of seats for her
engagement will begin to-morrow even
ing.
“The Silver King,” with F. C. Bangs and
Charlotte Behrens, will opeffon Thursday
night. The play is known to every thea
tre-goer in Savannah. Mr. Bangs and
Miss Behrens need no introduction.
Lawrence Hanley, who is playing his
second season with the company, will
play the character of “Geoffrey Ware,” in
which he has won enviable success. No
play written in recent years for the
English or American stages has drawn
out more favorable comment than this
drama. It may be said at the outset that
the flattering notices given the play, both
in England and America, have been well
merited, for its authors have succeeded
in writing a drama infinitely superior in
the moral of its story, in its dramatic
construction, characterization, scenic op
portunity, and in the strength and vigor
of its dialogue, far superior to anything
of its class the stage has seen for years.
The sale of seats will begin on Wednes
day morning.
THE COURT OF ORDINARY.
Business of # tle February Term Trans
acted Before Judge Ferrill.
The sitting of the Court of Ordinary
for the February term was terminated
yesterday, and the session for the March
term will convene to-morrow morning.
During the February term a large num
ber of returns and accounts were audit
ed, two jury trials in cases of lunacy
were held before Judge Ferrill, and let
ters of administration were granted upon
• the following estates to the administra
tors or executors respectively named:
The estate of (Juibus Fraser to Col. Bar
nard E. Bee. executor; the estate of
Dennis Smith to Gen. De Lyons; the es
tate of Maria Jenkins to Col. Barnard E.
Bee: the estate of Cormack Hopkins
to Marv C. Hopkins, executrix;
the estate of Luke Christie to Jordan
F. Brooks, administrator; the estate of
Edward Ellison to Jordan F. Brooks,
county administrator; the estate of James
C. Saltus to Wm. S. Hawkins; the estate
of David G. Allen to Annie Allen, execu
trix.
A number of orders were granted rela
tive to the transfer ot estates, and to the
final receipts and settlements.
Applications were filed for letters dis
missory in the following mentioned es
tates: James M-. < ash, Anna Louisa Bul
loch, Thomas McGuire, Edward McCabe,
Annie Smith, L. Eden R. Smets, Maria
Harden, Sarah Sherlock. William Solte,
Thomas S. Garrett. Isaac Cohen, Annie
Golden, A. S. Hartridge, Eaden F. Hertz,
Erastus Henry, James Heagney. Mont
gomery Cumming and Thomas M. Newell.
Judge Ferrill yesterday issued a pre
cept to the Sheriff directing him to im
; panel a jury commission to inquire into
the alleged insanity ol James B. Enright
and John Williams. Both of these men
are white. The peculiarity about En
right's case is that be manifests all the
inclinations of a confirmed kleptomaniac.
Williams seems to be impelled with an
uncontrolable passion for setting fire to
his own clothing and to other people’s

Court Officials’ Costs.
Judge Pardee, of the United States Cir
cuit Court, has filed his opinion deciding
the question referred to him by order of
Judge Boarman on the motion to retax
costs in the matter of the bark Thomas
Fletcher. The questions involved in the
case have already been lully reported in
the News. Judge Pardee sustains the
exceptions of Mr. li. H. King, Clerk of
the Circuit Court, in the finding of the
referees as to what constitutes a final
record, and orders the payment of Mr.
King’s costs, which was refused by the
decision of the referees. In the opinion
Judge Pardee reviews at length the
methods of procedure in courts of record,
and the difference in the procedure In the
Circuit and District Courts.
TIIE SUN'S ECLIPSE.
An Interesting Solar Event to Take
Place This Month.
On March 10 will occur an annular
eclipse of the sun visible in the United
States and British America. It is the re
turn of the annular eclipse of Feb. 12.
1831. In 1831 the central line passed over
Texas in a northeasterly direction, being
last visible on this continent in parts of
Virginia and North Carolina. At this
return the path will be further
north. The eclipse will be annular over
a line from Cape Mendocino, California,
in latitude 40 degrees to Greenland in
latitude 71 degrees. It is estimated that
the eclipse will be annular over a patch
about seventy miles wide. The only
towns of consequence in the Lnited States I
within this licit are Eureka, California, |
and Bozeman, Montana. At St. Paul the !
eclipse will obscure live-sixths of the sun, 5
but will not be annular. At Chicago ;
seven-tenths of the 6un will be hidden, j
From this city the obscuration will be ;
somewhat less, but sufficient to render
the eclipse a most interesting event.
The eclipse will be annular because the j
cone of the moon’s shadow does not reach
the earth. It will appear annular at those
places nearly in the line of the point ot
the cone. In an annular eclipse a ring of
sunlight surrounds the moon’s shadow,
the moon being at such a distance that it
does not cover the whole of the sun’s disc.
Until recent years annular eclipses have
been neglected by astronomers; but
during the last one some very important
observations were made by the French :
astronomers, and it is probable that senie i
effort will be made to observe the coming
eclipse. At all events, the partial phase .
which will be visible here will be care
fully observed if the weather permits.
The’time of its occurrence is very favor
able for careful observation. The eclipse
will take place between 12:30 and 3o'clock
p. in.

“Tornadoes” and “Cyclones. ’’
In view of the confusion that exists in
the use of the word “cyclone” in the ]
United States, Gen, W. B. Hazen, Chief
of the Signal Service Bureau, has issued
a circular explaining the difference be
tween a “cyclone” and a “tornado,” and
requesting writers for newspapers to use
the latter name where they have been in
the habit of using the tornier.
“A cyclone is a broad storm from 100 to
150 miles in diameter, with spiral inward
blowing wind 9 near the centre, but with
a calm space (ten or fifteen miles in di
ameter) at the centre itself. These broad <
storms never leave a narrow path of de
structive action along the track of their
central passage, but are rather beneficial
than otherwise, as they bring the greater
share of our rains. Asa whole, these cy
clonic storms travel across our country,
from west to east, at a rate of twenty-five
to thirty miles an hour. The same storm
often endures for a week, and its path
may be followed for several thousand
1 miles.
“Tornadoes are the violent local storms
which of late years have been erroneously
called cyclones. They appear to be gen
erated only in certain parts of the broad,
relatively harmless cyclone storm. They
sre marked by the well known whirling,
funnel-shaped cloud, and by their narrow
path of destruction. They advance at
a rate ot twenty-five to thirty miles an
hour, corresponding to the progression of
the great cyclonic storm within which
they are generated, and a single
tornado seldom endures more than an
hour or two. A number of tornadoes fre
quently occur on the same day in adja
cent States; they are commonly associ
ated with thunderstorms and with gales
or squalls ot violent straight-line winds.
Tae name tornado has In eh used as here
indicated since the early part of this cen
tury in this country and In Europe. Its
| replacement by cyclone is very recent and
should be avoided.”

PURIM’SMIRTHFULFEAST.
A JOYOUS DAY IN THR HEBREW
RELIGIOUS CALENDAR.
How It Will Be Celebrated in Savannah
—Service* in the Synagogues, Masters
on the Streets and the Grand l’nriin
Ball To-morrow Night—History of th
Festival and What it Commemorates.
Last night, the 14th of the Jewish month
Adar, the Israelites, of this city and
throughout the world ushered in the
festival of Purim amidst the usual re
joicings and pleasures. The first observ
ance of the feast dates from the year of
the world 3404, in the reign of Ahasuerus,
King of Persia. It is intended to cele
brate the overthrow of the desigus of Ha
man, the Amalekite, against the Jews,
and takes its name from the Hebrew word
“Purim,” signifying “lots,” alluding to
the manner in which Hainan sought to
find out the most propitious time for the
total destruction of his enemies. Through
a chain of circumstances wrought by
providential means. Esther, the Jewess,
and Mordecai, her adopted father,
both gained the favor of the
King, whose rage at the discovery of the
plot of Human against the people of his
favorite wife secured the execution of
the culprit and his sons, aud was the
means of obtaining for the Jews permis
sion to defend themselves against the
attacks of those who might seek their
lives. Services are held in the synagogues
on this festival, appropriate prayers be
ing offered up, the whole concluding with
a rehearsal of the Book of Esther.
CUSTOMS OF THE DAY.
After the religious duties have been at
tended to hearts are made glad by ex
change of gitts. The poor are liberally j
remembered, and in the words of Scrip
ture, “For the Jews, there was light, |
with joy, and gladness, and honor.” j
The day is altogether joyous in its char- i
acter, devoted to household pleasures, so- |
cial visits and interchange of gifts among
friends. The most significant feature of j
the festival, however, finds expression in :
the custom of distributing charity among
the poor and carrying the joy of Purim
into the homes of the needy, and there is
no family whose straitened circumstances
are known that is not remembered and
made to rejoice in common with the rich
in the Feast of Mordecai aud Esther.
Throughout the world special col
lections are made in aid of
the “Alliance Israelite Univer
selle,” whose object is the improvement
of the condition of the indigent, and the
emancipation and cultivation ot the Israe
lites who are oppressed by the weight oi ex
ceptional legislation in foreign countries.
In former years it was the custom to keep
“open house” for the eutertaimneut of
merry maskers who went from home to
home, but tne praetics having been abused I
by outsiders it is now nearly abandoned, j
lit all the large cities, however, the cele- j
brated Purim mask balls are given, and |
the large receipts received therefrom are j
devoted to charitable and educational ob- j
jects. The services at the synagogue tr- j
day, conducted by Rev. I. P. Mcndes, will j
be of au extremely interesting ebaraety;.
THE GRAND BALL.
The celebration in Savannah will in
clude, besides the services at the syna
gogues, the grand Purim ball bv the
Youths’ Historical Society at Masonic
Temple to-morrow night. ’ The arrange
ments which have been made point to one
of the most brilliant events that have ever
taken place in Savannah.
The grand march will begin promptly j
at 9 o’clock and the sig- I
nal tor unmasking given at j
11:30 o'clock. Prizes will be given to the i
most original lady and gentlemau char
acters, to be decided by judges to be ap- |
pointed during the evening. The supper!
is in charge of Mr. Hodges, of the Savati- !
nah, Florida and Western Railway res- ]
taurant, and a rich treat is promised.
A good deal is also being done in a charit- !
able way for the poor and needv. It will !
thus be seen that the main object of all ;
the Purim festivities is the cultivation of j
brotherly friendship and charity between j
the rich and poor. In fact, a benevolent :
feature attaches to all Jewish festivals.
Assembling for worship or for social and
festive joy they are taught to remember
that “the rich and the poor meet together:
that the Lord is the maker of them all.”
RAILROAD ISTRLUtiENCK.
Gleanings from Along the Track anti
Cross tics.
The arbitrary rates on south-bound
freight to Opelika. Ala., which were es
tablished by the Alabama Railroad Com
mission last summer, have been with
drawn. .
The employes of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad are anx
iously awaiting the inauguration of Man
ager Hudson’s policy, toward them. Many
of them predict radical changes. There ,
are rumors that the train forces ot the
road will be cut down.
The Marion, S. Star says: On Jan.
7, J. A. Bethea bought a ticket of the
Northeastern Railroad Agent at Florence
to New Orleans and return, for which he
paid $2B. At New Orleans, when he
started to return, the agent refused to in
dorse the ticket, and Mr. Bethea had to
pay his way home. He says the con
ductor on the Northeastern Road refused
even to receive the coupon issued by that
road, and made him pay his fare from
Charleston to Florence. He has brought
suit against the road for $5,000 damages.
The statement going the rounds to the
effect that a syndicate has been formed to
build an air-line railroad from Augusta
to Jacksonville, Fia., and thereby take a
large share of the Northern travel through
Augusta instead ot through Savannah, is
not generally credited in railroad circles
here. The railroad men of Savannah gen
erally regard it as a paper road, and say
they never expect to see it materialize
into steel rails and locomotives. “When
men build railroads they do not trumpet
the fact that they are going to build in the
nevvspauers; they build the road and do
the newspaper talk afterwards,” a prom
inent railroad official remarked to a News
reporter yesterday. The same official said
that if the road was built at all it would
not, as some have stated, draw to Bruns
wick freight which now comes to Savan
nah, and that the only effect it can have
on this city -roll be to divide to some ex
tent the Northern travel that now comas
here and goes on to Florida over the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western system.
Rumors have been current for some
days in railroad circles in regard to the
failure of the consummation ot the sup
posed sale of the Brunswick and Western
road last fall to the Riant system. The
impression has prevailed among some
that the trade made in August last be
tween the Seligmans upon one part, and
Mr. Plant and’associates upon ihe other—
the former selling the road to the latter—
had failed of consummation in conse
quence of a defect that had been
found in the titles, and that the trade had
i been declared “off.” It is true that the
objection referred to has been raised by
! the attorneys of the purchasing parties,
and that the trade has tailed of consum
; mation, resulting in the election of anew
j board of directors by the stockholders of
the Brunswick and Western, but it is un-
I derstood that negotiations are still
I pending and that there is yet a
! probability of a consummation of
| the trade. It is understood that the
■ reason Capt. Joan A. Davis and L. E.
Welch, of Albany, members of the old
board ol directors, were left off the new
| boaul is because of the embarrassment
under which they might be placed in the
event of a suit between the parties to this
trade, and for the further reason tbat it
was deemed expedient to have a majority
of the directors in New York, where the
: road is owned, so they could be called
| together without delay or expense pend
; ing further negotiations. Capt. Davis,
finding the trade had not been consum
| mated within the time agreed upon—last
August—tendered his resignation as
' President of the new company in October
i last, but the resignation was not ac
j cepted until tendered again before the
! election which took place in Brunswick
! last week.

THE WORK OE TEMPER AN ”r
How it is Promoted by r £ • •
tions
Editor Morning Xeict sot chat
invidious distinction may pawn bc
tween citizens presuma y g the
same results for society a thtt the
term Catholic is here in.uie pro- nt
with the mission of tempei
but it is to give the distinct. : uj oi
these societies in order U cumulate a
more generous emulation among others
that all elements and classes may the
sooner array themselves against the vice
of intemperance. All, indeed, seek the
same general benefits, though differing
widely, in many instances, in the means
used to bring them about. There are also
very many who imagine that such soci
eties, whether Catholic or non-Catholie,
are organized only to “reform drunkards.”
and, in consequence, are composed mainly
of those who have been addicted to drink.
As applied to Catholic societies especi
ally is this impression prevalent, yet this
is a grave error, and one which every
good Catholic, at least, should desire to cor
rect. Catholic temperance societies are
“church societies,” beingformed and sus
tained by church rules and regulations,
and the Catholic Church fosters and en
courages them for a two-iold purpose, viz:
to reform inebriates that the individual
may be saved, and to protest against
vice that the church may prosper and ad
vance. While the salvation of even oue
soul in danger of being lost through
drink is a grand work, worthy of the
best. efforts of the best members, still
this is not the only reason for sustaining
these societies. Catholics are taught to
avoid giving scandal, and to so live that
the church will best show forth her high
and holy mission to the world in the
lives of those who profess her faith and
teachings. Intemperance is tne recog
nized toe to religion, and wherever pre- i
vaient is a destructive and dangerous -
enemy to Christian progress. The j
Catholic Church, therefore, approves and
encourages total abstinence societies
among her followers, as a living and
ever patent protest against this foe and
enemy to her mission. That such a pro
test may be efficient, the work of these
societies is not left to drinking men or
reformed inebriates, as the following
from the pastoral letter of the Council
of Baltimore will testify:
Then there arc associations for the checking
of immorality, prominent anioug which are
our Catholic temp ranee societies. These
should bo and aided by all who
deplore the scandal given and the spiritual
rum wrought by intemperance. It is a mis
take to imagine that such societies are made
up of the reformed victims of intemperance.
They should be. and we trust that they every
where are, largely composed of zealous Catho
lics who were never tainted by that vice, but
who mourn over the great evil and are ener
getically endeavoring to correct it.
Thus it will be seen that the Catholic
Church values these societies as her arms
or branches, relying upon them to aid in
the grand work of human evangelization
and advancement. So long as they prove
efficient in this field, so long will they
have the choicest blessings which the
church cau bestow, with no relaxation of
her watchful care and solicitude for their
vitality and usefulness. Catholic.
“Cotched Him Sure ’Xuff.”
James Law, a middle-aged white man
from the southern part of the coHnty. was
arrested by Constable Jones yesterday
and committed to jail to ans wer the charge
of adultery. Law was arrested some
time ago and gave bond in the sum, of
$250 for his appearance. He concealed
himself, and there was a prospect when he
was wanted that his bondsman, a colored
man named Jack Williams, would have
the bond to pay. A day or two ago, how
ever, it was learred that he was
in the habit of coming to the
city to provide himseit with a supply of
cooked provisions preparatory to going off
on a maroon. It was also learned that he
would be in the city on Friday night. A
guard was placed to watch the house and
as soon as Law left it to follow, and also
to send word to the officers. Law did not
leave the premises, however, and the con
stable effected his arrest yesterday after
noon. AVhen captured Law had about a
week’s supply of provisions ready, and
there is no doubt that he would
have eluded the officers last night and
again have taken a fishing. As soon as
his bondsman heard of Law’s arrest he
hastened to the jail and obtained permis
sion to see the man.
“What do you want to see him for,”
asked Deputy Jailer Kinchley.
“1 want to*see dat man wid me own eye
behine dem bar!”
“All right,” and the darkey walked into
the corridor.
When he came out bis face had a broad
grin, and he said: “Tankee, Boss: dey’s
cotched him sure’nuff.”
HIGH LIVING.
Savannah vs. Charleston.
Living, as regards some articles, is ex
tremely dear in Savannah, and many per
sons contend that it costs 25 per cent,
more to live here than the same manner
of living costs in Charleston. We can re
fute this argument partially. Take cloth
ing for instance. You can go around to
B. H. Levy & Bros.’ immense Clothing
Parlors (189, 191 and 193 Congress street)
and get anything in their line as cheap i
or cheaper than in New A'ork even. To
get off their remaining stock of Youths',

stupendous inducements. Their line of
