BACK TO THE NORTH.
Tonrlats Who Have Dons Florida Re
turning Northward Rapidly.
The tide ol touristtravel has turned and
is bow flowing back northward. Fvery
north-bound train has from two to four
sleeping coaches attached, and all of the
berths taken. Business at the hotels is
good, there still being a fair amount of
travel South. For iifteen days the tour
ists have been going both ways pretty
lively. The hotel registers bavo been
Ailing up at the rate of two pages of au
tographs a day. New York, Boston and
J’hiiadelphta have furnished the greater
number of t be autographs with New York
in the lead, Boston second and the Quaker
city a good third. Maine has had a tew
representatives and so have the other
bleak New Kurland States.
Quite a number have come from over the
northern boundary and Halifax, St. John,
Montreal,Toronto,and the namesol other
cities in the Dominion and the provinces
are frequently seen on the registers. Al
most all who have come from the West
this season were from this side of the
Mississippi.
The California excursions and low rates
to the Faciffo induced the tourists beyond
the Mississippi to go further West. Soon
thetourist travel South will dwindle down
to a dozen or two a day, and next month
the usual season will he nearly at an end.
This year, however, the Chatham's cen
tennial the first week in May will pro
tract the season somewhat and hold back
the travel North a little longer than ordi
dinarily.

Lawrence Barrett In "Francesca da
Rimini” Next Week.
The sale of reserved seats for Lawrence
Barrett’s performance oi “Francesca da
Bimini” next, Tuesday night will begin
at Davis Bros, at 8:30 o’clock this morn
ing. “Francesca” is a play in six acts,
each act having a distinct climax, aud
the climaxes growing in strength until
the curtain rolls down on a terrible
tragedy. To end tbs bloody wars of
Guelph aud Ghibelin, “Lauciotto of Ri
mini’’ is betrothed to “Francesca of Ra
venna.” “i’aolo” sues for his liunobback
ed brother so seductively that he wins
“Francesca’s” affections for himself. She,
duped by her fattiw into the belief that
••Lanciotto" is counterpart of “Paolo,”
though undeceived before the betrothal,
meets deceit with deceit and consents to
the marriage. From the altar “Lanciotto”
is called to toe war. A love scene be
tween “Paolo” and "Francesca” is over
heard by “Pepe,” the jester, who, hating
“Lanciotto,” rushes to his camp, intones
litrn ol the perfidy of wife and brother, and
is awarded with death. The husband
tnkes horse for Kiraini, and. surprising
“Paolo” and “Francesca.” hill# them
and takes his own life. Barrett as “I.an.
eiotto” is the central figure in the play.
It is a part in which the actor easiiv sur
passes his previous efforts, even his
“Cassius,” which is usually considered
Ills best.
AVOIDING THK LICENSE.
Dow the Druiuuier* and Merchants G.t
Around Wi lgiitsvlll.'s Town Law*.
Tb&drmnmers are getting in their work
An the town authorities of WrichUville.
The Town CouncH some time ago levied
a tax of $5 on drummers, and the local
4>fbcers wore instructed to enforce its
payment by all drummers doing business
there. The move, as announced at the
time in tne News, created great dissatis
faction among tbe merchants, and they de
clared that they would not buy from any
drummer who paid the tax. Steps were
taken to avoid its payment by pro
viding a place outside lbs town limits
where the drummers could display their
auraplea and tare orders.
A day or two ago Messrs. Kahn
weiles and Einstein, the former
traveling for M. Holey A Son, and the lat
ter for B. H. Levy & Bro., of this city,
took in tbe town. A handsome turnout
was placed at their disposal by Mr. Lin
der, and the merchants ware taken out in
turn, ostensibly for a drive, to a place be
yond tbe corporate limits, where tbe en
terprising drummers had their samples,
and order* were taken from nearly every
merchant In the place. A suitable build
ing will be erected this week for the ac
commodation of Ibe drummers, and here
after they will snap their fingers at the
town laws.

and looks 20 yeu.s younger than he did
when he left Savannah. Those who did
not know the (act would hardly believe
that he was a distinguished Colonel in a
war of nearly 40 years ago. He scarcely
looks 10 years older than that number
of years. During the forenoon he
came down to his office on Bryau street
where he was called upon during the day
by a largo Dimmer of friends. On bis
way down to his office Gen. Jackson
dropped in to look at the Tetfair Acade

changes that have been made there dur

pleased at seeing the success Mr. Brandt

The General was asked about his ru

of his time ia Laurens county.
When Thomas Mozo and Thomas John
son, of Long Pond, were tried for
conspiring to shoot a possee
of revenue officers, Wilder’s name
was frequently mentioned as one of the
parties who was at Mcßride's store ou
the night of the shooting. Mozo, on his
trial, had Wilder appearing in two or
three places hi bis statement. Wilder
states now that he was not In
Montgomery county at any time during

About th Business In Florida.
“Bess, please, sir, may I get lodgin’s

young negro late last night, of Sergt, Reil

“What is your name?'’
“George Johnson, sir.’’
“Where are you from? 1 ’
“Jacksonville, sir. Work is mighty
scarce there, and Itbousrht I would come
up to Savannah; but 1 don’t know any

Johnson declared that he was out of
money, and that he was visiting Savan
nah for the Drat time. He was told that
he might stay in tbe lock-up until morn
ing. Oa his way down to the brick build
ing he said that be had been a waiter in a
hotel, but that the hotel waiters' profes
sion is overcrowded this season in all of
the towns and cities of Florida. For
years there hare been professional wait
ers who, during the summer, bis away to
tbe seaside or mountain resorts and seek
positions during the hot term. These same
are now coming South in winter, and it
is no uncommon thing for a tourist in
Florida to have the same waiter at his
table that he had last summer at Long
Branch or in the White Mountains.
TOUR IT FOR A DEPOT.
Two Wandering Arabs Mistake the Cus
tom House for a Railroad Station.
Yesterday about noon two Arabs
clad in the customary red fez and trous
ers of the flowing sleeve style commonly
seen in Oriental countries sedately
climbed tbe high granite steps in front of
tbe custom house. Their acquaintance
with the English language seemed to l>e
very slight. “Ten oentee”about exhaust*
their vocalutlary bat yesterduy they had
anew word.
“Stationl Station?” each asked of
someone who was going down tbe steps.
“Yes,” was the response, and the two
Mussulman passed through the doors and
witn a bland look sat down on the steps
whiob lead to tbe court rocra.
They hail been there 16 minutes wait
ing lor a train to come along before they
suspected a mistake, which appeared
through their asking lor tickets to Charles
ton. When the explanation was made
that the building was not a railroad depot
tbe Orientals slipped out. as quietly and
silently as if they thought they had been
sold.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1886.
1 HEY NEED NOT FAY.
Judge Admin*’ Decision in the Old Na
tional Eiprtu Company's Casa.
Yesterday Judge Adams rendered his
decision in the case of John Glenn vs.
Henry T. Botts, and the same plaintiff ys.
William I’. Carmichael.
The cases were argued about a week
ago. The money directly involved was
not large, but a great mauy similar cases
are pending in this and" other State#.
Glenn is the trustee of the defunct Na
tional Express and Transportation Com
pany which was organized in 1886 with a
capital stock oi $.">,000,000. More than
40,000 shares of the stock at SIOO a share
were subscribed, and 20 per cent, of each
share was paid in. The company did not
live long, and in September, 1866, it made
an assignment. During its brief career
the company sunk $572,000. in 1871 W.
W. Glenn tiled a creditor’s bill in Rich
mond, Va., but no process was issued un
til 1870. in December, 1880, the
three trustees oi the company
were removed at their own
request, and John Glenn was made trus
tee. In December, 1884, jsist four yeurs,
less one day, after Glenn’s appointment,
a decree was tiled to recover 80 per cent,
from the defendants.
A number of cases have been brought
in other States, and the principles or law
have been passed upon by the Supreme
Courts of Maryland aud Alabama. The
defendants in nearly if not all case#
pleaded the statute of limitations, but
their pleas were generally overruled.
Judge Adams, in a careful review, de
cides in favor of the defendants, and di
rectly contrary to the decisions of the
other courts. His Honor held that the
statute of limitation applied from-the date
of the assignment, and that now, nearly
twenty years after the president and di
rectors were removed, do claim can be
made upon the stockholders. From 1866
to 1884, when the decree to recover was
tiled, eighteen years bad elapsed, and in
that time the stockholders were relieved
of responsibility.
The case is exnected to go to the Su
preme Court, and ii Judge Adams' deci
sion is affirmed, a great many pending
cases against other stockholders will be
dropped.

The car-builders who went from Jeffer- |

The next event that will be likely to \

The Strikes Effect.
The strike West is beginning to tell
severely on the passenger as well as
through freight traffic. One general pas
senger agent states that the through busi
ness is fully 50 per cent, tighter than it
would have been had these labor troubles
not arisen. It has practically stopped
emigration. Hundreds of farmers in In
diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, who had
made arrangements to emigrate to Kan
sas and other Southwestern territory,
dare not start with their families, so nruch
uncertainty is there as to their getting
through.

A Now TCoad to the Sooth.
It is reported in Philadelphia that A. J.
Cassatt and Wm. t. Scott, of Erie, have
purchased the North Carolina Central
railroad, extending from Wilmington to
CharloUb- The New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk railroad, controlled by the
same parties, cannot send its sleepers
further South than Weldon over the Sea
board and lioanoke railroad, the Coast
Line refljsing to receive them beyond that
point, as it can get 75 miles greater haul
on the coaches from the North via Rich

Central, reaching Atlanta and other prom
inent Southern points in that way. This
can be donearter June 1, when the gauges
or Southern lines will be made to conform
to those in the North.
St. Louis to Savannah.
Commissioner Ogden, of the Southern
pool, is having smooth sailing at the very
outset of his administration. When be
entered upon tbe discharge of bis duties
ratee in the territory of the Southern lines
were decidedly shaky and unsettled, with
every prospect of becoming more so.
While the new Commissioner has not re
ceived any great proportion of credit for
diplomatic ability, he is known to be a
thorough, practical aud experienced rail
road man, posted in every detail of the
freight business, and it it an undisput
able fact, that good fortune has at least
followed him Into the Southern Asso
ciation. Not lone since the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat announced a re
vision ol the shattered tariff to Southern
points, and now comes a restoration of
rates to Savannah, which have been un
settled since Feb. 1, owing to cuts made
by local lioss to tbe points named.
March 1 General Agent Cassetty, of the
Louisville and Nashville, received
notification that the special rates effec
tive Feb. 1, 1886, on Hour in sacks, 27c.;

rates were restored, which are ns tol
lows: Flour, iu sacks, 34c.per 100 pounds;

From Mmtoat C’umrier, March JU, 1806,
Mr. H. L. Schreiner, of Savasuiali, Ga.,
did us the honor of calling upon us on

ceived from the pen aod mouth of one of
Ibe greatest literary talents connected
with the Southern music trade will al
wav s be remembered by those who know
Mr. Schreiner, nnu bis dignified behavior
daring a period of “stress and storm”
has made friends for him in many places
and among many people he is unac
quainted with. In bis own home and
among his fellow citizens he is more
esteemed than ever, for during the un
pleasant days he recently lived through,
qualities of manhood la him were dis
covered which must have gratified every
true oitizen who has ths interest ol Sa
vannah and Georgia at heart. Schreiner
is ail right.— Ado.

slight delects that attends the manufact
ure even ot suits made to order by mer
chant tailors, and we feel no hesitancy in
saying that no tailor can fit you better

leading fashionable clothiers of Savannab.

doubt if they can be duplicated elsewhere,
