OIL TRUST'S BIG RIVAL
TH.S SOUTHERN COMPANY’S MILL
IN SAVANNAH.
The Site About Located and Work to
Begin at Once—The Mill to be Com
pleted in Three Months at a Cost of
SOO,OOO.
General Manager Fred Oliver, of the
Southern Cotton Oil Company, is in the city
for the purj-ose of selecting a site for the
company's mill here. This is Mr. Oliver’s
second visit to Savannah in connection with
the enterprise. The Mousing News has
already stated the company’s plans.
The two sites which Mr. Oliver and Mr.
Lewis Haskell, who is to be manager of the
mill, have had under consideration are one
at the Central raihoad and Charleston and
Savannah railway crossing and another on
the Vale Royal plantation west of the Ocean
Steamship wharves. The company has
about agreed upon the latter site, which is
nearer the city than the other.
THE CITY’S INDUCEMENTS.
The City Council has approved a bill,
which will lie introduced in the next Legis
lature, amending the act of 1883 extending
the city limits so as to exempt from city
taxation all real estate and improvements
lying north of the Louisville road and west
of the city limits as they existed before
the passage of the present law, while the
property is used for agricultural or manu
facturing purposes, or until the plan of the
city is extended over that section. The oil
company’s representatives urged this
measure before locating the site.
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE.
Mr. Oliver said last night that work will
begin on the mill next week. The buildings
will be chieflv of brick and it is expected
will be finished and ready for the machineiT
in July. The first cost of the Savannah mill
and machineiy will be *20,000. The build
ings will be the same size as those at Mont
gomery and Atlanta, but at present, owing
to the fact that it is impossible to get all the
machinery this year, the capacity of the
mil! will, at the start, be only one half that
of the other mills.
CAPACITY OF THE MILL
As soon as the machineiy can be built it
will be pm in, and the capacity of the mill
■will be doubled.
Mr. Oliver says that everything will be
in shape and the mill will be ready for opera
tion before the season opens here, which
will not be much before Oct. 1. The
capacity of the mill at the start will be
about 90 tons of seed per day. A good
deal depends on the condition of the seed,
whether it is wet or dry. If wet the mill
will not be able to handle much over 80
ons.
THE HANDS EMPLOYED.
The enterprise will at first give employ
ment to about fifty hands, but as soon as
new machinery is added the number of
hands employee! will be doubled. The Sa
vannah works will have the same capacity
as those at Columbia, S. C.
It was the company’s intention to build
one large mill at Charleston, but failing to
secure a suitable site upon reasonable terms
it decided to build two mills, one here and
the other at Columbia. Mr. Oliver will be
in the city until the location of a site is fully
determined, and all arrangements are made
for beginning work.
THE LONGSHOREMEN’S STRIKE.
The Vessels Being Loaded by Their
Crews With Tittle Delay.
There was no material change in the sit
uation along the wharves yesterday, so far
as the lumlier longshoremen are concerned.
A Norwegian vessel that Mr. J. Bennett
was loading was nearly finished when the
strike was ordered, and a gong worked four
hours, completing her cargo. They received
the new scale of wages for their work. Late
Thursday evening the Captain of the
American schooner Wapella found that he
needed only 5,000 feet to finish, and he tried
to get the longshoremen to put it in, but
they refused to move a stick unless they re
ceived the higher wages, so the Captain and
crew turned in and loaded it themselves.
They finished her up and yesterday she put
to sea.
The bark Milton will be ready for sea
to-day. The Captain of the Francis E. Yar
nall 'is anxious to get out, and he and
his crew arc loading the vessel. The ship
pel's and Captains do not propose to be
inconvenienced to any great extent by
the strike, and though it muy force them to
adopt heroic met ho Is they will stand out
Against the demand.
A little trouble occurred between Mr.
Dixon, *of Dale, Dixon & Cos., and
Capt. Ramsey yesterday. Mr. Dixon
said that Cnpt. Ramsey was to a cer
tain extent responsible for the stain] taken
by the men, because lie limi said in an inter
view that the men would got what tiny
wanted. Capt. Ramsey said that the long
shoremen would probably get what they
asked from foreign vessels, but the Ameri
can ships would not pay the advance with
out a fight, and the loading of the Norwegian
Iwrk and the action of the American Cap
tains and crews bcare out the statement.
It was also intimated by some of the Cup
tain’s enemies that the Longshoremen’s As
sociation bad hern more or lens influenced
by him, hut, he denied that he was in nny
way connected with or responsible for the
strike. He has never had any connection
with the association because it is an organi
zation of colored men. He is affected its a
stevedore, but not otherwise.
THE STREET PAVING LAW.
A Move to Secure Its Amendment by
the Next Legislature.
The City Council has been considering Mr
some time the advisability of securing an
amendment to the street jiaving law. Under
the law as it now stands the city cannot
pave any street unless the owners of a ma
jority of the property fronting on the street.,
or on that port of it which it is proposed to
pave, first petition the city for the improve
ment.
It the city desires to extend the Brough
ton street pavoment from Abercorn to East
Broad it cannot do so unless the owners of a
majority of the property desire it and they
petition the City Council to that effect.
A bill will be introduced at the next ses
sion of the legislature amending the law so
that Die Council may use its discretion as to
what streets are to be paved. A
bill lias already lioen drafted and
will lie presented to tbe Council
at its next raoeting for approval. Iu tho
event of It* passage by the Legislature, ouo
half of Liberty street and probably one or
two other streets will be paved, whereas
under tho present law tb>* city is unable to
g" ahead with the work until the property
owners ask it.
RUBBISH IN THE STREETS.
A New Law Which Goes Into Force

TO BUILD UP THE BAY.
Ths City Asked for th© Open Space on
the North Side of the Street.
The City Council hold an adjourned meet
ing yesterday to consider the Street and Lane
Committee’s report in regard to a settlement
of the equity suit of Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos.,
and T. M Cunningham and J. 11. M. Clinch,
executors of the Waldburg estate, against
the city, which has been pending in the Su
perior Court for over two years.
The suit grew out of a disagreement
in regard to tne removal of the row of sheds
extending over Factors' walk in front of the
Waldburg property on Bay street, between
Bull and Whitaker. The immediate cause
of the suit was an order issued to the City
Marshal to tear down the sheds as an en
croachment upon the street. An injunction
was issued against the city, but the case
has never been heard. Several attempts
have been made to bring about a settlement.
Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos., who occupy a part
of the warehouses, in front of which the
sheds are built, and the executors of the
Waldburg estate are anxious to improve
the property, but in its present shajio they
are unable to do anything with it. Their
last proposition to Council is in the
nature of a compromise, by which
they propose to pay the city
$15,000, the city to extend the southern
boundaries of the three lots between Bull
and Whitakor streets south to Bay street.
This will utilize the unoccupied space be
tween Factors’ walk and Bay street and will
afford an eligible site for building purposes.
It is understood that the executors
of the Waldburg estate and
Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos. propose,
in event they are able to obtain an equitable
settlement with the city, to erect a hand
some business block there. It is necessary
for tiie city to obtain tho sanction of the
Legislature in order to dispose of the prop
erty, and in their proposition the represen
tatives of the estate and the guiuio company
propose to unite with the city in securing
the necessary legislation, the compromise to
be dependent ujxjn the success of their ef
forts.
The Street and Lane Committee rec
omended in part a settlement upon tho basis
proposed, the amount to be paid to be $25,-
000 instead of 815,000.
t After considerable debate the report was
adopted.
William Garrard, Esq., and J. R. Leaken,
E*q., represented the executors and the
guano company, and urged a settlement upon
the terms which theypropose. The action of
Council leaves a difference of SIO,OOO be
tween the amount offered and what the
city will accept.
ODD FELLOWS’ TRUST.
The Metropolitan Hall Trust Company
Organized.
The trustees of DeKalb Lodge No. 1),
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the
members of tho Lodge who subscribed to
the fund with which tho Metropolitan Hall
was purchased, met last night for the pur
pose of organization. Past Grand J. H.
Estill was called to the chair and Brother J.
A. Gross was elected Secretary.
The chairman stated the object of the
meeting, and requested Past Grand C.
H. Dorsett, Treasurer of the fund, to
is nd his report showing the condition of the
trust. After receiving the report it was re
solved to apply for a charter and organize
permanently. A committee consisting of
Past Grand Master G. H. Stone. Past Grand
Representative C. H. Dorsett, and Past:
Grand IT. O. Van Vorst was appointed
under the resolution, with instructions to
apply for a charter without delay. It, was
resolved to call the association the Metro
politan Hall Trust Company.
DeKalb Lodge owns about two-fifths of
the fund, and the intention of those inter
ested in the remainder is to turn over their
holdings to the lodge as fast as it is in con
dition to pay for them, so that the property
shall eventually be wholly the property of
the lodge of which they are members.
OFF FOR FLORIDA.
The Jacksonville and Pablo Beach Ex
cursions to Start To-Day.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way will inaugurate its weekly Florida ex
cursions by running out the first to-day.
The company has determined to popularize
these excursions, and it has therefore re
duced the fare to a rate below any hitherto
made in the South. The round trip tickets
to Jacksonville are only $2, good for regu
lar trains leaving Savannah at I:3J and 7:35
it. m. Saturday and 7:oti a. m. Sunday.
The train that leaves here at 1:30
this evening will arrive in Jacksonville
at 7:M5 p. iu., and if the excursionists desire
to go to Pnblo Beach they will reach thnt
l>oint at 8:80 p. in. The Sunday morning
tram will arrive iu Jacksonville at noon.
Murray Hall, at Publo Bench, is one of tho
finest hotels in the South. It Is on the beach,
within but a few foot of the surf. The bath
ing i* delightful, and those who enjoy that
pleasing amusement are now taking ad
vantage of the opportunity. A dip in flic
surf and a dinner ut Murray nail ore well
worth tho trip.

THE MORNING NEW’S: SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1887.
CONTRACTOR INNES FAILB.
He Abandonfi Hie Contract to Build
the Tybee Road.
It waj reported yesterday morning that
Mr. T. B. Innes, who had the contract for
building the Tybeo railroad, was financially
embarrassed aud had given up his contract.
The rumor proved to be correct, much to
the regret of the many friends of that gentle
man, who has devoted his time and energy
to the enterprise.
For some weeks there has been a good
deal of dissatisfaction expressed regarding
the progress of the work, and it was
evident that it was not being pushed for
ward with that rapidity which had been
shown by the contractor in the beginning.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the company, held on Thursday, Mr.
Innes made n statement of the
condition of his affairs, and asked that fur
ther payments be matte on account of the
work. The board, after considering
the matter, declined to accede to
Mr. Innes' request, and he gave up
his contract. Arrangements were at once
entered into by the company to continue
the construction of the road, und Mr. Innes’
workmen were at work yesterday as usual.
The work will be pushed to completion
under the direction of Supt. Haiues, and it is
expected that by the middle of June trains
will be running to the island.
Mr. Innes said last night that it was im
possible for him to go any further with the
work under the contract, and he abandoned
it as the only course left for him to pursue.
Capt. Purse, President of the road, said
that there will be no delay in the work; that
it will be pushed ahead to completion at the
earliest possible day. The track is nearly all
laid, and ike Lazeretto creek bridge will
be put in position so that trains can
run through to the island next week. Of
coui%e there will be considerable work after
the track is finished to get everything in
first-class running order.
Mr. Innes will return North to-day. He
has always borne a high standing in finan
cial circles and his failure is a surprise. His
liabilities are variously estimated from
$lO,OOO to $20,000, with nominal assets
Mr. Innes said hist night that he could not
even approximate the amount. A large
portion of his indebtedness is to Savannah
firms for supplies. J. J. McDonough & Cos.,
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way, Ross & Sanford, George F. Byrnes,
Vale Royal Manufacturing Company ancl
A. Leffler are his principal creditors.
THE FERTILIZER INTERESTS.
A Movement on Foot to Establish a
Factory in Savannah.
Mr. Pascal Davie, of Petersburg, Va., is
in the city with one or two other gentlemen
looking at various sites with a view to es
tablishing a fertilizer factory. They have
been here several days and have spent a good
deal of time in examining locations that
have been suggested, and prospecting in
other directions to determine the advisability
ot starting the works. They are prepared
to begin operations at once if the prospects
are such as to induce them to carry out their
purpose. They have been in consultation
with several gentlemen here, who will be
interested with them in their venture if it is
consummated. It is understood that they
iiave Vieen greatly encouraged to proceed
with the work and to begin operations as
soon as possible.
Mr. Davie was seen last night, but he de
clined to make any statement concerning
the scheme further than that a syndicate is
looking over the field to Judge of the possi
bilities of such an establishment. No steps
toward organizing the company or begin
ning the erection of the works has been
taken. In fact, what the gentlemen are
now doing is only to decide whether they
will carry out the idea or let it drop.
The establishment of fertilizer factories in
Savannah has been discussed before, and
alt hough those who had the matter in hand
found that this is an exceedingly favorable
point for such an industry and that all the
interests necessarily involved are ready and
willing to encourage them, for some reason,
the schemes have fallen through. This,
however, seems to give more promise of
fulfillment, and it is not at all improbable
that within a very short time the announce
ment will be made that the mill will be be
gun at once.
IMPROVING THE SQUARES.
The Street and Lane Committee to Lay
New Walks.
The improvement of the city's squares is
one of the most important works which
the Street and Lane Committee of Council
ms undertaken. The walks in many places
of the squares are out of repair and in some
of them there are no paved -walks at all.
The railings and fences have been broken
down or have fallen to pieces,
and the general lack of attention
which some of the squares, not ih the prin
cipal streets shows, has been the source of
a good deal of complaint.
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the
present .Street and Lane Committee, has un
dertaken to improve the walks, and tho
fences and railings have also been repajred
and put iu better condition. The walks
through Telftdr place are now lieing paved.
The Council yesterday authorized the City
.Surveyor to advertise for bids to repave the
walk on the west side of Abercorn street
through Lafayette square and also to pave
llio walks running east and west through
Madison square and the walks running
north and south through Chatham square.
Bills will be invited for either brick or
stone. It is not unlikely that the Peirce
Company will bid for tho contract A
handsome patent stone pavement like
that around Bt. John’s Church
iu the principal squares would
add greatly to their attractiveness. There
are a number of other squares which are
in need of improvement, and they will be
looked after in their order.

Sale of the Jail Lots.
A special meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners was held yesterday afternoon
to I'onsiJer the petition of the residents of
Skidaway Island for rebuilding of the old
bridge between the island and Isle of Hope.
A full board, namely, Commissioners
Walker, Lawton, Casey, Estill and
Dorsett, was present. Hon. P.
W. Meldrim represented the petitioners.
After some debate the lollowing resolution,
offered by Commissioner Estill, was passed:

PLUCKY MEMPHIANS WIN
THE HOME TEAM OUTPLAYED AT
EVERY POINT.
Speed's Men Give the Savannahians
Some Points In Batting ancl Fielding
—NaehviUo Rattles the Carolinians—
The Savannah Directors Release
Etnslie.
About 300 people saw the home club
wiped out by the Memphians yesterday. It
was the first game of the Savannah- Mem
phis series, and the way it ended does not
offer the home club much encouragement
for the rest of the games.
The locals were out bat ted and outfielded,
in fact they were outplayed at every point.
“Tricky” Nichols was rapped all over tho
field. Veach was batted freely, but the
visitors, sharp fielding kept the score down.
The locals’ errors were costly ■ and were
made at critical points. Peltz played at
short during the first part of the game long
enough to show that he could do better
work in the outfield. Dallas then went
to short, and Hutchinson, who
played centre field, shifted over to
right field. The change did not better
things very much.
The visitors played well together, and
batted bard. Sneed, Doyle, Force and
Black each got in a two-bagger, and
Doyle two of them. The locals were
beaten in the first two innings. They
failed to score until the eighth,
when by lucky hits and Memphis’
errors they got in 4 runs. Another run in
the ninth mning was the last that was made.
The visitors, having already won the game,
did not go to the bat again! The following

NASHVILLE BADLY BEATEN.

The Carolinians Knock the Tennes
seeans Completely Out.
Charleston, May 27.—The seaside
sluggers to-day, for the second time this'
season, wrested a victory from the very
jaws of defeat. Both side had up their star
batteries, Smith and Grady for Charleston,
aud Maul and Nicholas for Nashville. For
five innings Maul kept tho locals fanning
the air. They could do absolutely nothing
with his lightning curves, and the audience
had pretty well made up its mind to a white
wash for the locals. In the sixth inning,
however, they managed to get in two runs,
Powell getting his fkwfc on balls, and scoring
by a clean three-bagger by Grady, who in
turn scored on a hit by "Carl. Ilain then
came up and for fifteen minutes it looked as
if the locals' two runs would not count.
Nashville not having had her sixth inning.
Tho storm ceased, however, and the game
was resumed. In the ninth inning the locals
got on to Maul's curve and pounded him
tor six hits wiueb. with a fatal fumble and
a wild throw by Hayes at third base, net
ted them five runs. In the last iftning the
visitors pounded Smith for two runs, but
they were held down to that. The game
ended just about five minutes before dark.

An Astonished Lady.
From the New York Sun.
A queer story was told yesterday by a
w-ell known society man. H'e said: “Ala'dy,
who had growu tired of the setting of her
diamond ring, called at Tiffany’s this week,
and described the setting she would like.
Tho attendant casually examined tho ring,
and greativ astonished the lady when he re
marked: ‘Mariam, this is not a diamond, it’s
glass,’ The lady replied that it couldn’t be
possible, the ring, was her engagement
ring, and added: “My earrings were given
me at the same time by my husband.’ The
attendant asked her to permit him
to examine the earrings, and these
also were discovered to be glass
of very fine quality. The lady
told the young man that the ring and the
earrings wore bought at Tiffany’s, and the
books proved that she was correct., and that
tho youug man whose wife she was on the
day he gave them to her hud paid a mighty
good price for t hem. The mystery deepened,
but all that the clerk could say was that the
diamond:' bad been out of Tiffany’s place
for a number of years. The lady returned
to her home. She then recalled that she had
dismissed her butler several weeks before,
and questioning the servants about him she
learned that lie had frequently mentioned
that lie was a jeweler in France or Germany.
The lady concluded that be had removed her
diamonds, and Inspector Byrne* Is looking
for tliat jeweler-butler.”
A Lucky Man.
“A lucky man is rarer than a white crow,”
says Juvenal, and we think ho knew. How
ever, we have heard of thousands of lucky
ones and we propose to let their secret out.
They were people broken down in health,
suffering with fiver, blood and skin disease*,
scrofula, dropsy and consumption, and were
lucky enough to boar of and wise enough to
use Dr. Pierce's “Goldeu Medical Discovery,"
the sovereign blood purifier, tonic and al
terative of the age.

The National Complaint.
524 West Sixty-first Street, N. Y., 1
Feb. 7, 1886. f
For the last year I have at times had very'
severe attacks of dyspepsia, accompanied
with wind and pains in the side and stom
ach. Everything I ate disagreed with me,
and I lost flesh daily. Internal medicine
only afforded me temporary relief. I then
commenced applying Allcock's Porocs
Plasters, one on the pit of the stomach
and one below, just above the navel. In a
few hours my pains very much abated. In
two days my food appeared to agree with
me. At the end of a week I was nearly
well, but I still continue wearing the Plas
ters as a precaution. I have used altogether
six Plasters, and must say they are the
cheapest and best mediciuo ever invented.
Thomas J. Riley.
Well to Remember
That while almost everyone has a com
plaint, either real or imaginary, all which
arise from slrin troubles, such as Tetter,
Ring Worm, Ground Itch, Eczema, Profuse
Dandruff, etc., etc., can be cured by a few
applications of Tetterine, the great skin
remedy; painless, harmless and fragrant.

Ihe Musicale promises a night of rare
pleasure. Madam St. Roques-Playter and her

It Benefits City Buyers
To sell good Stoves in competition with
those dealers all over the State, Florida and
South Carolina, who handle the products of
small foundries. We have to mark ours
much lower than would bo necessary if we
were doing only a local trade. We don’t pre
tend to ship a first-quality Range at the
same price that they charge for theirs,
but certify the figures between the two are
over balanced by the superiority of our
goods. The finest are cheapest. Lovell &
