8 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-day- -Its Provisions. Alderman Thomas introduced in Council yesterday an ordinance, which was pa.-e.ed, amending the section of the city Coda which requires all poisons to keep within their yards a garbage box or barrel iu which to deposit tho dirt ami refuse until the scaven ger removes it, The old ordinance requires that the luirrel shal' lie kept within the yard, and pe'-sons having no yard at tached u> liioir building have placed tbeir boxes upon the sidewalks mid in tho streets. Mr. Thomas recognized that this is not only unhealthy, but unclean, nnd ■the. amendment w> require eep tiie refuso within their is removed. The scavenger wvu the contents of those >y can be kept within the bad result*, and the streets l>i clean. The penalty for inance is a lino of not more U ofiense THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and Thera by the News Reporters. There were only two arrests by the police yesterday, both for disorderly conduct. The City Council yesterday elected R. L. Titeomb, J. E. Royal, and R. Holland in spectors of timber'and lumber. The Ixtards and furniture in the Cotton Exchange are being taken down preparatory to their removal to the new Exchange build ing on the opposite side of Bay street. Mr. Lewis Graul, whose leg was crushed bv a train on the Coast Line railroad Thursday, died yesterday morning at his home, at First and Bull streets, at 9 o’clock. His death was the result of the nervous shock. The City Council authorized the City Treasurer yesterday to pay the reward of fered by the oitv for the capture of Thomas Fogarty. Mr. Thomas L. Brown made the arrest, and the reward will await him at the Treasurer’s office this morning. Ferguson & Cos., contractors, and the Sa vannah, Dublin and Western Short Line Railroad Company appeared as defendants in nine cases in the City Court yesterday. John F. Tietien, William'Wolff, "R. H. Young, W. H. Sherffelen & Cos., A. B. Farquhar, J. P. Claybrooke, Theodore Basch, L. Me- Pritehard and Hagin and Screven were the plaintiffs. The case was continued until Monday. The Brunswick pilot boat Glynn arrived at quarantine yesterday from "Nassau, N. P., with a forty of Savannah vachtsmen, who left here two weeks ago. The Glynn touched at Beery Island. She is now being fumigated, and will probably come up to the city to-day. The partv on board consists of Messrs. A. M. Martin, Jr., W. W. Williamson, Fred. A. Habersham, Wallace Schley, B. King Couper, Pinckney Huger, H. H. Thomas and Frank Batey. 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. DROWNED FROM A SLOOP. The Mate of tho Keystone Walks Over board and is Lost. James Wickwron (colored) mate of the sloop Keystone, from Ililton Head, was <lrowned Thursday night at tho Four Mile Point, tiear the ol*tructions. He was sit ting in the after part of the sloop, nnd got up to go forward, and accidentally walked overboard. The slotip was brought about, and on effort made to stive the drowning man, but ho stink out of sight, before he could be reached. He was IS years old. anil 1 ©longed to Hilton Head. His body was not recovered. River and Harbor News. The British hark Chalgrove put to sea yesterday. She was cleared a week ago for London, but did not go to sea on account ol •he illness of tho Captain and a portion of the crew. 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. TO BUILD NEW BRIDGES At Isle of Hope and Skidaway Island- 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: Ordered. That the County Engineer lie ilii eeted to jirepHi'e a plan or plans for it br:< ge or bridgen necessary to connect Skidaway sla id with Isle of Ho]©, awl to submit an esiin ate of the cost of the same.

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 is the score: SAVANNAH. AB. R. B.H. F.O. A. E.

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.

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.

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.
