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.

Miller, whose leg was broken by a parting hawser on the steamer City of Savannah Friday morning was resting easily at the St. Joseph’s In firmary last iiight, and her ease is pro nounced to be progressing as well as could he expected. Her friends have not yet been heard from, hut word is ex pected to-day. The docket at the police barracks last night contained the following cases for trial to-morrow morning: Ben. Alvars and Alfred Golden, colored, charged with vio lating a city ordinance by throwing stones in the street; William Smith, colored, charged with being drunk and disorderly In the streets and exposing his person: John Winters, charged with being drunk and disorderly in the streets. Air. W. F. Smith, who fell out of a win dow at the boarding house of Mrs. M. J. Ives last Sunday and crushed his skull, still remains in a critical condition. He had a high fever yesterday, and for the first time since he was hurt was delirious, but soon regained consciousness. Mr. Smith’s case is regarded by his physicians as one of the most remarkable on record. Notwithstanding the fact that his skull was crushed down upon his brain he has never lost consciousness and has been in full possession of all his mental faculties up to yesterday, when he w as slightly de lirious for a short time from the effects of rever. John H. Deveaux was Friday the recipient of a very handsome tilting silver pitcher and goblet of elegant design, pre sented by the Ladies’ Union Society, a charitable organization of which he has been ihe agent and business manager from its foundation in 1870.

The testi monial was purchased from the jewelry store of S. I*. Hamilton, and bears the billowing inscription: “Presented to J. H. Deveaux, by the Ladies’ Union, 1885.” “ Wonders." K. H. BECKWITH.

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. Local Personal. Rev. John B.

As Miss Thomas she was a favorite in Savannah years ago. She was a brilliant musician, and, with her rare social acquirements, her presence was sought in all circles. She married Mr. Charles Shall, an English architect, from whom she was subse quently divorced, and married Mr. Cleve land. to whom she was rumored to have been engaged previous to her first marri age. She was lor years a leading member of Christ Church choir, and was identi fied with nearly every amateur musical entertainment l iven in Savannah up to the time of her departure for the North.

CHATHAM’S LANDED ARE A SEARCHING THE COLONIAL. RE CORDS FOR EARLY TITLES. Locating tlie Granted Lands a* the Basis for aSamy to Establish the Bounda ries of the Ungranted Lancs—A" In vestigation of the State Department Records to be Made this Week—The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Some of Oglethorpe's Early Settlement*. 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 certain a basis tor such a thorough sur vey of the ccuuty as will enable the County Surveyor to establish the lines of all the ungranted lands. SEARCHING FOR THE TITLES. Mr. Beckett’s familiarity with the titles of the county, resulting from his labori ous and painstaking investigations dur 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.

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 !. The Trials of a Minister. THE REV. J. P. ARNOLD (Baptist., Camden, Tenn., in 1873 was taken with Bright's Disease, which produced two large abscesses. In 1878 another ab scess formed which discharged for eighteen months. In 1881 two abscesses formed. He then began Warner’s Safe Cure, “which restored me to perfect health,” and June, 1883, he wrote, “a y health is as good as ever.” Try it! A. R. Alttnayer & Cos., Messrs. A.

ARRANGI. V ” ST. JOHN. A Public Iteeeprii. n to be Tendered Him at the Serb ven House. 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. WORK OF THE COURTS.

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. Cough*.

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.

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. Fifteen Year*! JNO. L. CLARK, YI. D., Waterloo, N. Y., in 1881, was prostrated with Bright’s Disease, crick in the back, rheumatism and malaria. From the latter he had suffered for fifteen years without help. In 1884 he says: “Warner’s Safe Cure cured me and lam sound and well.” If you doubt, ask your neighbor!
