FAILED TO PAY THE TAX.
THE SOUTHERN TELKOIIAPH
IN CONFLIC i WITH THE CITY.
The Enforcement of the License Law
Brings About an Unexpect* il Move—
Tlie Ain liurit tea Prevented from In
terfering With the Company’s Busi
ness—The Troubles that Have Given
I ie to the Litigation Over Its A fVaits.
The enforcement of the local license
law has brought about a conflict between
the city authorities and the Southern
Telegraph Company, w hich is likely to
develop some interesting leatures. The
tax upon the telegraph companies doing
business in Savannah i9 SSOO. The
troubles that have existed elsewhere be
tween the authorities and the Southern
Company growing out of the collection of
liccDseiaxes,itbasbeen anticipated,would
give rise to trouble here when the city
attempted to enforce the collection of the
tax. The company made no move to
wards its payment and the tax passed
into the bards of the City Marshal for
collection. An execution was issued, but
the company’s manager asked that the
proceedings be- delayed until last .Monday,
in order that if possible he might be able
to secure an extension of time.
The request was granted. At the expi
ration of tlie limit agreed upon, the Mar
sha! was informed that a lurther exten
sion, until Thursday, had beeu granted
by the Finance Committee.
l'be advisability ot granting this exten
sion, in view of the complicated condition
of the company’s affairs, was considered
at length by the committee, but it
was finally granted, with the understand
ing that il the money was not paid
promptly a levy would be made upon the
effects of the company's office At the
expiration of the limit, which it was un
derstood would afford ample opportunity
for the company to secure funds for the
payment of the tax,
AN INJUNCTION WAS SERVED
by United States Marshal Wade upon
Mayor Lester, representing the city, en
joining the levy and preventing any inter
ference with the bvsinessof the company.
The order for the injunction was issued
by United States Judge Boarman. of the
Northern District, and the case will be
heard in Atlanta on April 10.
The object of the movement is to make
the city a common creditor of the com
pany, and place it on the same footing
with others holding claims against it.
Owing to the fact that the com
pany is in the hands of a receiver,
the manager represents that he is not
permitted to make any disposition of its
funds except to him as an < fficer of the
court. ■<.
THE COMPANY’S TROUBLES.
Tlie troubles ol ttm Southern Telegraph
Company began shortly after its attempted
consolidation with the' Bankers and Mer
chants’ Telegraph Company. The manage
ment under tbe consolidation. or some of
its agents or eflieets and others, is alleged
to have illegally abstracted from the safe
of the Southern Company something
over $2,000,000 of the company’s bonds
which had never been issued, and
attempted to put them on the
the market and perhaps succeeded in
placing a few small lots. Upon the dis
covery of this and the additional fact that
the revenues of the company w ere not be
ing properly appropriated to the payment
of its obligations, Mahone and'other
bondholders joining with him, represent
ing about$650,000 —a majority ot the legiti
mate issue of the bonds—brought a credi
tors’ bill in the United States Circuit
Court of Virginia against the company,
and also the Bankers and
Merchants’ Company and all others
connected with the Southern
management, asking for an injunction
against their “further managing or mis
managing its affairs, against their dis
posing ol the abstracted bonds, etc.,” and
also asking lor a receiver to take charge
and manage its affairs in the interest of
the bona tide bondholders and other cred
itors.
This move precipitated a number of
suits in various parts of the country,
among them a bill for in
junction and a receiver at
Augusta, and a similar bill in the United
States Court at Atlanta by Judge Loeh
rane. The court in Virginia granted the
injunction asked for by .Mahone and
others and appointed A. L. Houlware re
ceiver.
ANCILLARY PROCEEDINGS
have since been instituted throughout the
country and the appointment of Mr. Boul
ware has been ratified wherever the issue
has been determined. The bill in Augusta
was dismissed and the Loebrane bill, be
ing similar to M a hone’s, was consolidated
with it and Mr. Buuhvare made receiver
under the United States Courts in Georgia,
which puts him in lull possession, as an
officer of the court, of the entire property
and lines of the company.
The trouble between the authorities and
the company here is similar to the trouble
iu Macon, w here the matter was taken
before the City Council and the manager
was brought into the Recorder’s Court
ior non-payment of the tax.

WAH LEE IN COURT.
A Cbincis Laundry Bill Goes Begging
for an Interpreter.
A document was filed for judicial con
struction in a case on trial before Justice
Waring Russell, Jr., yesterday that is not
described in any law book known to the
judiciary of Georgia, and one but for the
timely interposition of an almou-eyed
follower of Confucius would have been
pigeon-holed as an unfathomable mystery
until the end of time.
It appears that a negro named Tony
Williams left some shirts, collars, cuffs
and other articles of clothing at Wab
Lee’s laundry on Drayton street to he
washed, and received a ticket from the
Celestial proprietor made out in Chinese
characters such as have prevailed in the
Celestial empire from time immemorial,
Williams afterwards presented bis ticket
nr.d asked for hisclothes.and wasintormed
that they had been given out to a
negro who represented that he had
leen sent alter them. and that
Williams ciid not send his ticket because
he had lost it. Wah Lee said that he gave
the negro the clothes because he had a
ticket for clothes ho had washed for an
other man, and said he was Williams’
cousin. He thought that as Williams had
trusted him with his clothes he could do
the same. He was unable to give the ne
gro’s name, and he had since been unable
to tiud him. Williams denied that he ever
sent anyone for his clothes, and insisted
tHat they should be produced at once.
Wah Lee being unable to produce them,
he went before Justice Russell and sued
but a writ of possession.
The case came up for trial yester
day. Williams produced his "ticket
to prove that he had delivered the clothes
to Wah Lee, and at this point the tug of
war with the hieroglyphics'commenced
with the court. “Did the ticket describe
the clothes mentioned in the warrant, or
wbat did it describe?’’ was a question
that for a time looked as though it would
go begging a long ways lor an answer. It
was admissible in evidence If it described
the articles sued for and was in the hand
writing of Wah Lee. It consisted of a lot
of angular, triangular and rectangular
characters strung out on a slip ol rice
paper, but whether it was a receipt for
clothes or an order for dynamite was
somethin” that no ’Melican" fellow could
find out. The court eyed it critically, and
appeared to think it might have some
connection with shirts. Constable TTeath
erhorn and several spectators examined
it and gave it up, and it would have
doubtless remained an everlasting mys
tery if Chu Chung, a well-known China
man, who was an interested spectator of
the proceedings, had not come to the res
cue and interpreted the paper. It proved
to be the right document, and judgment
was about to be entered in the ease in
favor ol Williams when a compromise
was proposed, and Wah Lee settled the
case by paying for the clothes.
A VA IN SK V UCII
Sirs. Bower Obtains ho Clue to Her
Missing Son.
Mis. D. A. Bower, who arrived in Sa
vannah from Brooklyn on Friday in
search of her son, whom she believes to
to have wandered South, spent the ent ; re
uav yesterday in a vain effort to obtain a
clue to his whereabouts. The matter was
placed in the hands of the police and
private detectives, but no trace was
obtained that would indicate that the
young man had ever been in the city. The
police were furnished with photographs
aud a full description of the missing boy,
and the search will be prosecuted in the
hope that some clue may be secured that
will lead to his discovery. The grief
stricken mother left last night for Florida
and will continue her search there.
She has full confidence that
in some way her son will be restored to
her. Mrs. Bowers is a middle-aged lady
of unusual intelligence and address, with
refined and cultivated manners. She has
devoted herself since the disappearance
of her noy to a brave effort that she be
lieves will ultimately result in his dis
covery.
AMUSEMENTS.
Manager .Johnson's New Enterprise—
The People’s Theatre.
The People’s Theatre Company closed its
first week at the Fords’ Opera House last
night in “Oliver Twist.” The perform
ances have been largely attended and the
company has been enthusiastically re
ceived. Anew repertoire of plays will
be brought out during the coming week.
Manager Johnson will inaugurate his
new enterprise at the theatre this week,
ODening to-morrow night with the Hunt
ley Dramatic Company in the society
drama, “A Wife’s Peril,” at the popular
prices of 10, 15 and 25 cents, with 10 cents
extra fer reserved seats. The result
of the move may be predicted
from what has been the result
elsewhere. In Mobile, where the com
pany has recently been playing, the Ileg
ister says: “As an illustration of the ben
eficial effect of low rates it is a pleasure
to allude to the success here at Mobile ot
those well-known actors, Mr. and Mrs.
Iluntlev. who have played to crowded
houses" here and at Montgomery. The
acting of the company has been a good
deal above the average, and the plays put
upon the stage are always attractive and
instructive. The general admission price
has been 10 cents, and the result has
been a revelation. The theatre has been
crowded night after night With a host of
people who for a very little sutn have en
joyed hours of pleasure such as they have
been debarred from heretofore.” The
company’s engagement is for two weeks,
during which a varied repertoire of plays
will be produced. The sale of seats as
sures a packed house on the opening
night.

Mention was made in the News a few
days ago of a meeting of the Commission
ers of Unerantod Lands of Chatham
eounty, for the purpose of taking definite
action respecting the rights of the Chat
ham Academy and the Union Society to
such of these lands as the two corporations
are respectively entitled to. The area of
Chatham eounty, exclusive of water
courses, is, in round numbers, about 270,-
000 acres, but the average area returned
to the Receiver of Tax Returns, for the
purpose of taxation, as appears by the
digests for the past 10 or 12 years, does
not exceed 140,000 acres, leaving fully
100,000 acres to be accounted for.
The trustees of the Chatham Academy,
at a meeting last week, decided to secure
the services of Isaac Beckett, Esq., to
represent them in Atlanta, lor the purpose
of making a preliminary examinatiou of
the colonial records, on file in the ofLee
of the Secretary of Stale, with a view to
locating the granted lands, and thus as

ing the past five years, render him pe
culiarly fitted tor the proposed work. By
taking the original grants and tracing
them through the pages of the colonial rec
ords, which carry these titles from
the fountain head down to tlie
year 1785, when the records of Chatham
eounty were begun, be will be able readily
to connect them with the abstracts which
he has already prepared, covering the
period between 1785 and 1877, thus pre
senting an unbroken history of each
tract of land in the county and lot in the
city front the days of Oglethorpe down to
the present time. With the boundaries of
all the granted lands thus definitely es
tablished it will prove an easy matter for
the County Surveyor to designate those
that are ungranted.
The geographical limits of the county
include the entire original “Christ Church
parish” and the lower portion of the
parish of St. Philip (tlie upper part of the
latter parish, with the whole of Sit. Mat
thew’s, lorming the adjoining county of
Effingham), and covers the territory be
tween the Savannah and Great Ogeechee
rivers, fromlow-water mark of theAtlantie
Ocean to the line of Effingham county.
AVhen first laid out, “Christ Church
parish” was intended to include a num
berof villages, besides the town, as it was
then called, of Savannah. Hampstead
and Highgats, on the AVhite Bluff road,
were laid out, and inhabitants assigned
to them. The former was occupied bv
twelve German and the latter by the same
number of French families. But time and
malaria thwarted the plans of Oglethorpe,
and history says that in 1740 there re
mained but two’families out of the twelve
at liighgate, while Hampstead retained
an existence only upon the county map.
SOME OF THE EARLY SETTLEMENTS.
Josephstown, opposite Argyle Island,
and Abercorn, about 15 miles above Sa
vannah, were also laid out as villages,
but they, too, failed to meet the expecta
tions of the founder. Jones’ history of
Georgia relates that ot the 10 families as
signed to Abercorn not one remained at
the end of the fourth year from the date
of its settlement.
Mr. Beckett left for Atlanta last night,
and will begin his investigation there
to-morrow. If the result is satisfactory
to the trustees of the academy they
will probably proceed with the work
and eventually realize what is justly
their property. It is not intended
to inflict hardship upon parties living
upon any portion of the lands. On the
contrary, the trustees will deal liberally
and generously with all, but will of
course possess themselves of all lands
not occupied that justly belong to them,
according a rigid recognition to the just
rights of every man having equitable
claims.
It is not supposed that the present in
vestigation will occupy more than a lew
days' time, as it is only designed to ascer
tain by examination of the books and re
cords in the State Department what a
thorough search will probably cost, and
thus enable the trustees to decide whether
or not it will be expedient to proceed fur
ther.
Til K TELFAIR HOSPITAL.
Tho Building Approaching Completion
—Making up the Medical Staff.
The building known as the Telfair Hos
pital for Females, in course of erection by
the executors ol the late M iss Mary Tel
fair, at the corner of New Houston and
Drayton streets, is rapidly approaching
completion. The appearance of the build
ing, whether viewed from the front or
the rear, impresses even the most
casual observer with the architec
tural harmony of its outlines, and
with the beauty oi the contrasting
colors of the materials that have been em
ployed in its construction. At a distance
the structure is apparently four stories in
height, with an exterior finish of l’hila
delphia pressed briek, built in what is
termed the Renaissance style. In reality
it is three stories in height, with an attic
in the centre, 13 feet in height in the clear,
above the floor. The exterior appearance
bears a close inspection.
The ger.erally red-looking walls, as seen
from a distance, arc relieved by Georgia
granite aud limestone trimmings, and a
lofty portico at the main entrance, by bal
conies off the third story at the front, and
by spacious piazzas off' the second and
third stories at the rear. The ceilings o f
the apartments in every story are high,and
the corridors which intersect at the centre
on each floor are lofty and spacious. The
plastering in all the rooms is finished,
and yesterday the plumbers, joiners and
painters were busy in putting the finish
ing touches to the work. A News
reporter was informed by the
contractor that the structure would
hardly be ready to be turned over to the
executors under a month, as the work on
the portico at the front has not been fin
ished, and there is some work of minor
importance to be done here and there over
the entire building, which, though mat
ters of detail, require time each in their
order to complete.
At the request of the executors a num
ber of the ladies comprising the board of
managers met during last week, and in
an informal way discussed the question as
to how the structure should be furnished.
The executors, under the terras of the
will, are to turn the building over to
tfie managers (urmshed, hence they
wished to obtain their views upon the
subject before making selections or in
curring what might prove to be a need
less expense.
Although the medical staff has not yet
been authoritatively announced. It is un
derstood that Dr. James P. S. Houstoun
has been offered and will accept the
superintendency. The board ot consult
ing physicians and surgeons has not been
determined upon. The names of Drs. J.
B. Read. T. J. Cbailton, John 1). Martin,
aud R. B. Harris have been mentioned,but
have not been officially announced. A
meeting of the managers will be held at
an early day to perlect the organization
of the board, when these matters will be
finally determined, preparatory to the
formal opening of the hospital about
June !.

Since the announcement was ma de a
week ago, finally settling the of ex -
Gov. St. John’s visit to Savan.’ !au the
different temperance organizations of the
city have been actively at work to seen *G
him the largest possible hearing. FouT
of the leading societies have regularly
appointed committees, viz: St. John the
Baptist T. A. and B. Society, Savannah
Lodge of Good Templars', Stonewall
Division of the Sons of Temperance aud
the AVoman’s Christian Temperance
Union. These committees met on Fri
day evening at the residence of
Rev. Richard Webb, No. 156 South Broad
street, and perfected all the details ior
the Governor’s reception and address on
March 23. It has been arranged to hold
an informal reception in the parlors of
the Screven House, where he wiil be the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. AV. C. Jackson.
This reception will give the temperance
people of this city an opportunity to shake
hands with the man who has led the most
remarkable campaign in American his
tory. By the power ot orator}’ aud a pure
life it is claimed by the prohibition peo
ple that he has made such an impression
upon the politics of the country as will
in future secure national campaigns
against the demoralizing personalities
and “tnud-slingings” which so charac
terized and disgraced the last one. No
matter what may be the fate of the Pro
hibition party, "ex-Gov. St. John will
be a central figure of this epoch.
Though differing with him as
many do among temperance people
regarding the policy of Prohibition,
ali ascrit e to him purity of purpose and
honesty m his adherence to the principles
of his party. He speaks at Atlanta on
March 20, and at Augusta on March 21,
arriving in Savannah on the morning of
March 23. There appears to be a very
general desire to hear him among all
classes of citizens, and there is no doubt
that he wiil Lave a very large audience.
THE VVADLKV MEMORIAL.
The First Bronze Statue of Heroic Size
Ever Cast ia One Piece.
The casting of the statue of the late
Col. William M. Wadley in New Y'ork on
Thursday was the first attempt ever
made to cast a bronze statue of heroic
size in one piece. The cast was after a
model made by the sculptor Robert
Cushing, who was engaged on the work
several months in this city a year ago in
the directors’ room at the Central Rail
road Bank.
The model was turned over to the
Henry Bonnard Bronze Company in New
York' early in the winter, and the
work of preparing the mould for cast
ing the statue was at once begun.
It was attended with much difficulty,
owing to the nature of the model. Tfie
difficulty to overcome in casting such a
figure are the curves in the arms and the
folds of clothing and drapery, aud is so
great that the attempt had never before
been made. The casting was wit
nessed with a great deal of interest
and anxiety. Among those present,
says the New York San, were
J. Q. A. AVard, James F. Drummond.
Robert Cushing, the author of the model,
aud Dr. Kingsley. The guests crowded
around the big iron flask that held the
mould, while the brawny French work
men filled a huge crucible with nearly
two tons of the liquid bronze, and, raising
it above the flask, poured the metal
through wreaths of green and yellow
flames and steamy smoke into the chan
nels prepared for it. In halt a minute
the workmen set up a noisy cheer, and
the spectators applauded the successful
result of anew departure in bronze work.
The statue will be taken through Savan
nah to Macon as soon as it is complete,
and will be erected about May 1. It will
be a worthy tribute by the employes of
the Central Railroad to the memory’oi the
lamented President. The Wadley Me
morial Association has worked actively
and energetically to secure the statue and
its completion will be awaited with deep
interest.

Close of tlie AVeeU’s Session—The Young
Colored Lawyer AA’ithdraws HD Ap
plication for Admission to Practice.
The only case tried in the United States
District Court yesterday was that of
Thomas Scott, an aged colored man, who
was indicted for violating the internal
revenue laws by selling liquor without a
license. The jury returned a verdict of
“not guilty.’’
Judson W. Lyons, the young colored
lawyer from Auirusta, who applied for
admission to practice in the United States
Courts, appeared in the court room yes
terday morning and withdrew his appli
cation. Mr. Lyons stated that tee cases
he came here to try had been disposed of,
and gave as his reason for with
drawing his application to practice
that there was no longer any reason for
him appearing in the court. Judge Speer
when granting the order withdrawing the
application said that he had appointed as
the committee to examine Mr. Lyons
gentlemen eminent in the profession, and
that he had no doubt, from the character
of the applicant, that he would have been
able to stand a creditable examination.
The committee appointed by the court
to examine Lyons consisted of the follow
ing well known members of the bar:
Robert Falllgant. James Atkins, S. A.
Darnell, S. B. Adams and AVilliam Gar
rard. The committee met at the office of
Capt. Falligant Friday afternoon for the
discharge of their duties, but Lyons failed
to appear. The court yesterday discharged
them from further consideration of the
matter.
The case against J. B. Amazon, charged
with selling liquor without a license, was
discontinued by tho District Attorney,
there not being sufficient evidence in the
case to put the defendant on trial.

FORTY YEARS OF LIFE INSURANCE.
The history of the New York Life
Insurance Compafy, reaching from
1845 to ISBS, practically covers the
period in which life insurance
has had a history in this coun
try. It includes forty stirring and fruit
lui years in tfie history of the nation. It
c vers the period of the settlement of the
great Northwest: the discovery of gold in
California, and the suh9oquent*grov> th of
mining interests; the development of the
railroad and telegraph systems ot the
country; the Mexican war and the an
nexation of Texas; the civil war and the
abolition ot slavery, and the enormov.s
growth of manufactures and commerce.
It is praise enough to say that life inst
ance has kept pace with all this wonder
ful growth anti development in the mate
rial resources of the country, aud that the
New York Life has been and remains
one ot the foremost companies, not only of
the country, but of the world.
Life insurance as a business made its
most rapid advances during the years im
mediately following the civil w ar, the
amount of insurance in force reaching its
highest point at the beginning of 1873,
when it was over $2,100,000,000. From
that it gradually receded, under the influ
ence of the business depression imme
diately preceding, and following the panic
of 1873, until at the beginning of 1880 it
was only $1,440,000,000, a loss of nearly
one-third. It has never recovered all this
lost ground, the present amount in force
being about $1,900,000,000. Total assets
fell off during three years, 1877, 1878 and
1879, but they are now about 50 per cent,
greater than in 1873. During
the first half of this period prices un
derwent heavy shrinkage, following
the currency price of gold till the resump
tion of specie payments in 1879. The
figures of a life company during the last
13 j ears, therefore, furnish a severe test
of its strength, popularity aud manage
ment. The following show tne assets and
insurance in force of the New Y’ork Life
at the beginning of each year, ’t will be
seen that, while the business as whole
lost about 10 per cent, ot the insu. ance in
force, and gained about 50 per cent, in
assets, the New York Life gained about
90 per cent, of insurancein force, and about
170 per cent, in assets. In 1873 the New
York Like had about one-seventeenth
of all the insurance in force, and about
onc-sixteenth of all the assets. In 1885 it
has about one-ninth of alt the insurance,
and about one-ninth ot ail the assets.
Interest earnings occupy an impor
tant place in life insurance calculations as
these, with the small over payments in
the earlier years of a policy, must make
up for the heavy death rate of later years.
Coincide:) t with the depression of busi
ness, following the panic of 1873, was the
decline in interest rates, shown in the
high price reached by government securi
ties bearing only 3 per ceut., and in a re
duction of the legal rate in New Y'ork
State from 7 to 6 percent. TheN’EW Y'ork
Life’s immense assets have been so care
fully handled, however, as to earn on an
average about 5 }4 per cent., and only a
fraction of 1 per ceut. has remained un
paid at the end of each year. It will be
noticed that, during each of the last 11
years, the receipts from interest have ex
ceeded the total claims by death.
By the statement (published on another
page) PREMIUMS RECEIVED AND TOTAL
amounts returned t > policy holders by the
New Y ork Life, in the various forms of
death claims, dividends, endowments,
surrender ot values on purchased policies
and annuities, it will be seen that, while
the company has nearly trebled its assets,
it has been returning to policy holders
nearly 70 percent, of the amounts received
from them. Meanwhile its annual pre
mium income has nearly doubled.
CAUSES OF THE NEW YORK LIFE'S RAPID
AND HEALTHY GROWTH.
Among the elements that have con
tributed to the steady and rapid growth
of the New Y'ork Life, and to its in
creasing favor among insurers, are the
lollowing.
1. A Liberal Contract, free from
burdensome conditions, under which the
policy might become void or be
come* the subject of expensive liti
gation. As long ago as 1850 the
company expunged from its policies
the clause making them void in case
of seltKlestruction. In 1860 it originated
and introduced non-forfeiture nolicies, in
the face of great opposition from other
companies. In 1865 it originated the cus
tom oi attaching to every policy a copy
of the application upon which it is issued. ■
The application ar.c policy together con
stituting the contract, both should be in
the hands of the insured. Each of these
three relorms has been the subject of dis
cussion in State Legislatures since they
were adopted by the New Y'ork Life, but
only the second has been enacted 'into
law. As A’ery few companies have fol
lowed the New Y'ork Life iu the third,
and none in the first, the insuring public
have recognized the greater value of its
contracts.
the perfect security of its policies.
2. It has been a purely mutual company
from the beginning. Its officers and
trustees have been recognized as the
administrators of a great trust, with no
interests adverse to policyholders, and
with every inducement to be jut to all.
AVni!e it broke the iron rule of absolute
forfeiture, in case of non-payment of pre
mium, that prevailed twenty-five years
ago, and while its reductions from the
tabular cost of insurance, by means of
dividends, have been very large, never
theless the Perfect Security of its
Policies has always been the first
consideration. To secure this end, the
most rigid test of solvency bas been ad
hered to in es hunting its liabilities, a
large surplus has been maintained, aud
the utmost care bas been used in the
investment ol lunds and in the selection
of lives for insurance.
3. The Best Plans of Insurance
Three important steps have already i>een
noted as enhancing the value of the New
Y'ork Life's ordinary contracts. About
thirteen years ago the company began
the issue of its now famous “Pontine in
vestment Policy,” which affords in
surance at ordinary rates for a chosen
term of years, with 'five different options .
of settlement, including full cash value, :
at the end of these selected periods. The !
maturing policies under the shorter pe
riod have proved so profitable aud satisfac- j
tory that the Tontine Investment Pol
icy has been iustly characterized as “the j
best form of insurance ot the age.” In ;
this form of policy the forfeiture clause ;
was restored, in a modified and carefully
guarded form, profits from forfeitures ac- i
cruing to policyholders completing their
Tontine periods. This being deemed an
objection by some—while having decided
advantages' and attractions for others—
the New Y'ork Lite has now perfected a
policy called the
NON-FORFEITING LIMITED-TONTINE POL
ICY,
which combines the nou-forfeiture
features originated by this company in
1860 with the valuable options and benefits
of the “Tontine Investment Policy.” This
POLICY MARKS THE LATEST ADVANCE IN’
life insurance. By a combination and
non-forfeiture and Tontine privileges it
obviates the objections heretofore made
against both the ordinary policy and the
ordinary Tontine, and it is confidently re
commended as( 1 ithesAFEsr life policy
issued, as regards liability to lapse; (2)
the most desirable, as regards char
acter of privileges and benefits; and (3)
one of the most profitable, as regards
cash returns. Issued on the Ordinary
Life table, this policy affords insurance
during a selected period, with ample safe
guards and guarantees as to security, at
a cost lower than that of the ordinary co
operative society, with an investment of
balance of premium at interest.

THE GAS WAB.
Rumor* of a Consolidation of the Two
Companies.
There are rumors of startling develop
ments in the gas war which bas been
going on lor some time past between the
old and the new companies. It is
whispered that there is a prospect of a
consolidation by one company buying or
leasing the other company’s property.
Which of the two concerns is to
be swallowed up is not stated.
It is rumored that there will be meet
ings held to-morrow to consider certain
propositions. It it conceded by ali who
know anything about the cost of manu
facture that the present price of gas can
not continue, as it is below the cost of
production.
Another Mail to the North?.
In compliance with instructions from
Supt. L. M. Terrell of the Railway Mail
Service, mail tor Washington and points
north and east ot that city will,
after to-day, be dispatched from the
Savannah office via train No. 35 Charles
ton and Savannah Railway at 1:44 p. m.
daily, except on Saturdays. The mail for
this'train will close at the post office at
12:30 p. m. By this arrangement three
daily mails for the North will be had,
leaving at 6:55 a. m., 1:44 and 8:46 p. ro.
The lack of connections of train No. 35
north of Charleston on Saturdays renders
it necessary to delay the Saturday mail
until the night train, leaving at 8:45.
This arrangement will give quicker mail
facilities to points north and east of
New Y'ork, the train leaving Savannah
at 1:44 reaching New Y'ork the following
evening and giving quick connections
beyond there to Boston, Albany and other
points. The regular fast mail leaving at
8:45 and arriving in New Y'ork early in
the morning of the second day following
will, however, secure the same, distribu
tion in New Y'ork as that arriving there
the night before.
