THINGS ELOPERS CAEKY.
aWO FChL DRESS SLITS IN
Mllh. HILL’S THUNK.
Lawyer Marchand and the Druggist's
Wealthy WifeTak-n Home In Disgrace
—Clandestine Meetings with Her Lover
Cloaked by I*retcnded Visits to a
Clemetcry
Mre. Frank Util’s trunk was received
yesterday by Detective Wetherhorn, and
after an examination was reshlpped to
Chief O’Mai a, at Pittsburg, Pa. The
trtink was tightly packed with elegant
dresses and underwear. Among other
articles were two full dress suits, which
Marchand bought after the elopement.
Marchand was very anxious to attend
the ball at Bainbndge in full dress, and
he wanted Druggist Hill and Detectives
Weiherhorn and O’Mara to go along as
his guests.
While in the South Marchand and Mrs.
Hill visited Savannah, Montgomery, Col
umbus, Nashville, Birmingham, Way
eross, Bainbridge, and finally Pensacola.
At all ol the hotel* they registered as man
and wile, generally under the name of
Morgan. The oouple intended to take in
Cuba also. ,
A dispatch from Pittsburg says that in
returning the party took a stateroom to
wetber in a sleeper. Mrs. Hill hardly no
ticed her husband and never lost sight of
Marchand, on whom she bestowed many
loving glances
-BDe and Marchand occupied one berth
together and O’Mara and Hill another.On
the wav it wan decided that husband and
wife should separate after dividing the
residue of their wealth. As soon as they
arrived in Pittsburg they went to Lawyer
I&eardou’B office, where articles of separa
-oion were drawn up. The husband will
also institute proceedings of divoroe.
The conditions of separation were based
nn an equal division of the property and
money amounting in ail to $16,000. After
the legal formalities were over Marchand
left with Mrs. Util, and the unhappy
husband went his lonely way to Greens
burg.
Mrs. Hill is wealthy in her own right,
handsome and accomplished. She is the
daughter of Col. James Woods, a retired
lawyer of Greensburg. She was educated
la foreign schools, and was a recognized
leader in society. The wealth of dead
relatives, together witu the position given
her by the blue blood of au old family and
the advantages of u well rounded educa
tion, made her a brilliant star. About
three years ago she eloped from Greens
tmrg and married Prank E. Hill. He was
• young man of tine tastes, but limited
capital and uncertain education. For a
time the Woods people drew the line on
young Hill, but be was afterward taken
Into the fold ot what they considered the
xoval family. Shortly before her marri
age to Hill the young lady fell heir to a
fortune through the timely death ot an
aunt This money availed her much, es
pecially in her last escapade.
Marchand says that he is a native of
’Richmond, Va„ and he traces his blood
an a direct line to Marshal de St. Cyr. He
■was a lawyer of much promise before bis
elopement with Mrs. Hill. He is well
■connected in Greensburg, and is a close
relation of Judge Logan, formerly of
'Westmoreland county, now solicitor of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Young
Marchand gained notoriety some time ago,
when the State Senate relused to confirm
lie nomination as a notary public lor this
Tillage. He is a talented young man, but
his conduct is highly unsatislactory to his
relatives. He has been intimate with
Mrs. Hill for over a year. Hill, the hus
band, has been running a drug store and
keeping fleet-footed horses since hie mar
riage.
Pictures of both of the elopers were
published in a recent number of the Po
lice Gazette.
Hill related a peculiar Incident con
nected with the illicit love of the lawyer
and Mrs. Hill. A few months ago her
only child died. The mother was deeply
grieved and visited the grave every day.
YCarly in December, when tbe enow came,
the druggist bought bis wife a handsome
eutter so tbat she could drive eut to the
cemetery. The sleighing was good, and
■almost every day Mre. Mill drove off, os
tensibly to her babe’s grave. The druggist
was busy at his store, aud could never
Eit off in the afternoon. After the elope
ent, he learned that Mrs. Hill, Instead
Bf going to the cemetery, generally met
er lover in tbe suburbs and went off in
some other direction sleigh riding.
THE HUrEL KNIKKFKI9B.
It is Rapidly Assuming Satisfactory
Bhtpa.
Within the lawt few day* very congider-
Bble progress has been made in getting the
Affairs oi the hotel enterprise into shape.
(Nearly all the shares of the Oglethorpe
Real Estate Company have been sub
scribed to the proposed new company. In
fact, less than ball a dozen now remain
>to be solicited. An exchange of proper
ties that will secure the Pavilion property
.and Chatham Academy grounds for the
■hotel, and the Oglethorpe Barracks prop
erty tor school pur|>osee, may now be re
garded ae certain to be consummated at
an early day. Thia question of exchange
feeing practically settled harmoniously,
and to the satisfaction of all parties, the
greatest obstacle to the hotel enterprise
may be said to be removed.
It is slso apparently settled that the
money necessary to carry forward the en
terprise to complete success will be raised
fly subscription and without bonds. This
arrangement, when carried out faithfully,
■will insure tbe regular payments ol satis
factory dividends. All subscriptions are,
by tbe terms printed on the subscription
blanks, made payable only on condition
uat tbe amount necessary to build tbe
Ikotel is secured. If those who present tbe
aubscription lists during tbe present
■set are met iu u business-like way tbe
situation, with respect to tbe hotel enter
prise, will, within a very few days, be
%veu mote satialaotory tban it is now.

LIVELI TI.WJCS IN COX TON.
One of the Biggest Days’ Business Kiar
Known In New York.
The New York cotton market was in a
particularly lively condition on Thurs
day. There were 275,000 bales of cotton
bought aud sold —the heaviest transac
tions ever kuown in a single day with one
exception. The course of the market was
upward, aud the day’s advance was 11
points. Even after the regular exchange
hours were over trading continued brisk
ly, and the highest prices of the day were
freely paid, May cotton selling lor 9.360.
and August deliveries at 9.60 c.
There was only one failure reported,
Joseph A. Weedon, a young broker, was
compelled to announce his inability to
meet engagements, having been caught
on the short side. His obligations were
not heavy, and the failure had no effect
on the market.
The rise in the market was a reaction
to the recent prolonged bear campaign,
during which the price of cotton has been
put down since last November to the ex
tent of $7 a bale. It is said that the ex
tremely low prices that have prevailed
lately, have induced dry goods people and
Wall street operators to go in and buy,
causing a rise.
FLORIDA’S SCHOOLS.
One of Her Teachers Talks of Her Sys
tem ot Fublie Kduootloa.
Prof. Graham, at present of Key West,
but formerly of Savannah, is visiting
friends her*, l’roi. Graham was ohosen
President of the Stats Teachers’ Associa
tion of Florida a few days ago at DeFu
uiak. He states that nearly 500 teachers
have already joined the association, which
will hereafter meet once a year.
Florida has about 1,700 teachers of pub
lic schools, and Prof. Graham says that
the State is making wonderful progress
in educational matters. Last year
1320,000 was expended upon the
school system. Out of a school
population ot 100,000 children 60,000
are whites. In the ranks of the teachers
the males are outnumbered largly by
the ladies. About one-half oi the teach
ers are Irons the North and West. The
schools in the newly settled sectious seem
to he thriving the best, so many of the set
tlers having lelt older communities where
the public school systems are well de
veloped.
At Key West, where Prof. Graham is
now located, the public schools have on
their rollsquite a number of Cuban pupils
and some young Bahamians. The parents
ot these little Spanish speaking pupils
want their children to goto the American
schools to learn English it nothing else.

Association decided to change tbe place
for holding the meeting to Savannah.
Tbe Savannah teaobers have appointed

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 7, 1886.
SAVANNAH TO THE BAT.
POBMALi OPENING OF THE SEA
SON ON WEDNESDAY.
Th Blue Grass Champions Our First
Antagonists lmprovements at the
Fsrk—The Home Team as It Stands—
Schedules of tbs Games With Non-
Leagae Clubs.
AVednesdsv of this week will mark the
formal opening of the base ball season in
this city. On that day the Savannah at and
Louisville (Ky.) clubs will cross bats in
the first of a series of four consecutive
games. The blue grass team is one of the
finest in the country, and some very
pretty games are looked for. The Louls
villes will reaoh this city this afternoon
from their home, and to-morrow and Tues
day will go Into practice with the home
team.
SAVANNAH IN PRACTICE.
All the members ol the home team are
now In tue city except William McLaugh
lin, the champion catcher of the Pacific
slope, and Edward Nolan, the effective
twirler of last season’s Philadelphia club.
McLaughlin left San Francisco on March
3. and will probably arrive here Thurs
day. Nolan is detained at his home at
Patterson, N. by the illness of his
wife. He will be here about April 1.
O’Day reached the city yesterday and
John Moriarliy on Friday, and each im
mediately went into practice with the
other members of the club, who have been
at work twice a day throughout the week.
The new unllorms of blue and old gold
were donned Thursday for ths first time
and present a very neat appearance. A
goodly number of spectators have been in
attendance during practice hours, but
hereafter the gates will he closed to all
comers except the players and members
ol the association
THE SAVANNAH CLUB.
Following is a full list of the players
who will constitute the home club:
C. 0. Morton, manager; Len block well,
Thomas Gillan, William McLaughlin,
catchers; Henry O’Day. Joe Neal, Ed
Nolan and John Moriarity, pitchers;
James Field, first base; George btrief,
second base and field captain; Thomas
Murray, third base: Joe Miller, short
stop; Eugene Moriarity. left field; one of
catchers in centre on alternate days; Hub
Collins, right field.
It will be seen from the above list that
Powell, Voss and Butler have bean re
leased bom the club sinoe the signing of
men first commenced. Butler was re
leased because of his Inability to report
here before April 15.
AT BASE BALL PARK.
At base ball park the arrangements for
the opening game are about completed.
The grounds have been placed In fine con
dition and anew grand stand has been
erected, with a trontage of 100 feet, imme
diately to the right of the covered one
built last year. The new stmetnre gives
the park nearly double the seating capac
ity of last season. It will be for the exclu
sive occupancy of ladies and their escorts.
The fair sex will not be required to pay an
admission fee Wednesday, but the regular
schedule charge will be la operation at
all subsequent games.
EXHIBITION GAMES.
As already stated in the News the
league season opens April 16 with Savan
nah at home with Chattanooga. In addi
tion to the schedule games to be played
in this city before the club leaves home
Manager Morton has arranged for the fol
lowing exhibition games in addition to
those with Louisville alreadv mentioned:
M arch 18, 20, 22, 23, and 24—Savannah
vs. Detroit.
March 27 and 20— Savannah vs. Pitts
burg.
April 7,8, and 0- Savannah vb. Obi
on go.
Philadelphia wanted dates, hut it has so
far been impossible to arrange for the
ones asked for, and it Is therefore not
probable that Manager Wright’s team
will lie seen hers this season. Similar
trouble was experienced in the case of
Mauager Smeltz’s St. Louis league team.
COLUMBUS’ CLUB.
In locating the Chicago Blues in Co
lumbus, the local management, together
with almost everybody else in Georgia,
seem to have overlooked the fact that
two members ot the club, Atkin
son aud Decker, pitcher and catcher,
are disqualified under the National agree
ment from playing against clubs in the
Southern League, one for ignoring his re
serve contract with Philadelphia, and the
other tor an equally grave shortcoming.
Arrangements are being made to over
come this state of affairs, and the club will
probably be seen In this city April 1, 2
and 3.
SHORT STOPS.
Manager Morton baa not paired tbe bat
teries, and it is not known yet even how
they will be pitted against Louisville.
Tbe famous Guy flecker will be seen
with tbe Louisvilles.
Manager Morton bas received three sets
of cabinet photographs in frames of tbe
Detroit club, whieh will be put on ex
hibition in different parts of the city.
Neal bas been doing ambidextrous
work in tbe pitchers box while practicing
this week. Hie drop ourve Is an eye
opener.
O’Day is the most speedy of the quar
tette of local twirlers and has unusually
wide in and out curves.
Moriarlty, tbe left-handed puzzler, no
mesmerizes every ball be throws that the
batsmen invariably saw the air.
Nolau is said to do great bead work, in
addition to throwing a lightning bull,
wbicb goes to his backstop witb a course
as winding as a serpent's.
Manager Morton minks be has a jewel
in every one of bis catchers, and they
have been showing up tineiy this week.
Oillen and Murray are doing great work
in ib practice games. They are as great
favorites as ever.
People who think Savannah hasn't got
a heavy baiting team will get badly left.
Eugene Moriarlty and Hub Collins are
the tastest runners in tha team. Asa
sprint tb* latter is bard to heat.
Colltne used to be called "tbe Pocket”
when be played Urst base witb Columbus.
“Hub" la very popular bare even tbougb

bow long tbe run or apparently impossi
ble tbe oateb.
Field on Urst ia reported as not hav
ing let a ball go by him this year, gather
ing iu ugly grouudera and high jumpers
with equal facility.
Manager Morton is a veritable apliynx,
but that dou’t prevent him from doing a
good deal of thinking and baring a long
head. If there is any money to be made
be will make it.
There la a general feeling In tbisclty
that tbe league Treasurer should give u
bond.
Augusta bas signed Tom Brown, a tine
young pitcher, who pitched for tbe Wil
liamsport*,of Williamsport, Pa., last vear.
Atlanta bas bad a second offer for Henry
Moore’s release, but refused to accept it.

MOBS COMPKTITOBS COMING.
Two Additional Companion Entered for
the Prize Drill in May.
Secretary A. H. Macdooell, of the Chat
hams, received a letter yesterday from the
Butler Rifles, of Greenville, Ala., asking
to be entered for the drill. The Rifles are
one of the crack drilled companies of
Alabama, and at the Mobile drill sold very
high in the pools, and were much feared
in the contest. They are coming with a
full drill team.
A letter was also received from the Fort
Gaines Rifles, of Fort Gaines, Ga., stating
that they would be present and partici
pate in the centennial.
The contract for building the fence,
grand stands, etc., for the drill ground
has been given out. The lumber will be
gin to arrive on the grounds during the
coming week, and the work of erection
will soon be commenced.
The securing of the United States
officers for judges has removed the last
obstacle in the way of the perfect success
of the drill, and will ha received with
satisfaction by all companies interested.
It is known that some of the crack com
panies have been holding back entries
until the judges were announced, pre
ferring to risk results before an entirely
new set of judges. The next few weeks,
it is thought, will see several new com
panies come into line for the big drill in
May.
Lieut. Gresham is a Virginian, Lieut.
Hoyle a Georgian, and Lieut. Batchelor
is a North Carolinian, aud all are noted
as well for their social qualities as for
the excellent estimation in which they
are Held in toe army. Their ability as
officers is a guarantee of a successful and
satisfactory drill, and any company that
wins a prize in the coming contest will
have the satisfaction of knowing that it
in every way deserves it.

Letter Sale has made a big hole i their rem
nant of winter clothing, bnt there is still some
left, and prices are so low down that it will
soon go. Messrs. Levy are getting in their
spring stock of Gents’ Youths’ and Boy’s fash
ionable clothing, and while they are waiting
for “spring” to establish herself positively
and p rmaeently, are determined to get rid
of overcoats, suits, underwear, etc., etc., at a
big sacrifice. They do not expect to get full
