A meeting of the naval stores producers
of Georgia wua held at tho Marshall House
yesterday for the purpose of closing cer
tain discontented producers who met at

connected with the naval stores business,
except themselves. At that meeting the
factors were accused of dishonesty, aud
great dissatisfaction was expressed with the
system of the appointment of inspectors by
the City Council of Savannah, The con
vention also heard the statement of the rep
resentative of the Standard Oil Company
that the producers could not do better than
put themselves under the fostering care of
that corporation. They concluded their

Legislature, asking that tho appointment of
inspectors be made by tho State, aud also
that a law be passed regulating port charges.

STATING THE CASE.
May William Lstford stated the object of
the meeting, and briefly rcviewol tna ac
tion of the meeting of' the Naval Store*
Manufacturers' Protective Association, at
Jesap. He stated that it did not meet with
the approbation of a majority of the
manufacturers in the State.
Mr. Paxton took the matter of port
charges as condemned by the Jesup meet
ing, and read a statement of the
charges of various ports, which are as
follows: On rosin, per barrel, Savannah
13c., Brunswick 16c. .Charleston 22>£c., Wil
mington 16c., New York, fine 2134 c., grade T
and Delow 17Wc. This includes all the vari
ous items of expense that go to make up
port charges on rosin. The charges on
spirits are, Savannah 24c. Brunswick 28c.,
Charleston 42c., Wilmington 38c., New
York 4334 c. This Mr. Paxton introduced
to show that the charges at Savannah were
lower than at any other port.
Maj. Letford spoke upon the subject of
horning, or changing the grades mar ked on
the barrels, and said that he considered
that the privilege of the factor, though of
course he was opposed to it on principle;
Still. when the manufacturer sold his goods
to the factor he did not think the manufac
turer liad unything further to do with it.
OUTSPOKEN' RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were then in
troduced, aud, after a lengthy debate, were

tour turpentine distilleries out of a total of more
than 300 distilleries which are operating in this
State, and
Whereas, The said association did appoint a
committee with instructions to proceed to At
lanta and there ask for certain legislation which
ve deem detrimental and hurtful to the inter
esto of the manufacturers of naval stores;
Resolved.. That we hereby express our entire
confidence in the naval stores factors, with
whom we have had business relations for years,
and we can see no reason why they should be
aasail td by any association or other paj-ties.
2 We have always found them ready and
willing to aid us in the development of this im
portant industry, and to them in part we are
indebted; therefore, he it
Resolved, That the turpentine manufac
turers of the State of Georgia, in convention
Assembled, do most earnestly request the Le.gis
'ature not to interfere in any manner with the
present mode of appointing inspectors of naval
Mores by the City Council of Savannah; and
oe It
Resolved. That we censure what is known as
aorning, for the reason that Georgia is in the
front rank in this production; and be it
Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting
is instructed to send a copy of these resolutions
to erery Representative throughout the State;
and he It
Resolved. That he be further instructed to ap
point a committee of five manufacturers who,
together with himself as Chairman, shall go to
Atlanta and represent our Interests as set forth
In these resolutions should he deem it necessary.

THROUGH TO OCEAN CITY.
The Arrival of the First Through Train
at Tybee Beach.
The first through train went over the
Tybee railroad yesterday. It consisted of
seven loaded freight cars and a passenger
coach. About thirty people, including tho
directors of the road, were on board. Owing
to the large urnount of freight, the train
was delayed in starting, ami did not leave
tiie city until 10:30 o’clock.
Tile trip down was pleasantly made, but
owing to an accident, to a freight car. the
train did not reach Tybee until after noon.
The roadbed, as far as it lias Itecu surfaced
and ballasted, is in good condition. A large
force of men is at work along the lower end
of the road. The arrival of tho train at
Tybee was onthusiMticliy ehoerod by the
lieople there. The excursionists were well
pleased with their trip.
Rain Along tho Coast.
There was rain all over the Eastern sec
tion of the cotton belt yerteixlay, but it was
heaviest at Savannah. The signal service
reported an inch up to midnight—very
poorly a seventh of the entire rainfall this
year. It begun early in tho morning and
rained at intervals all day. The weather
was thick and murky, and although mercury
did not go above 81* it did not got far below
it. The indication* at midnight were for
clearing weather to-day.
Tho Fords’ Big Hit.
The Fords played “Pink Dominoes” bo
fore good audienco* yesterday afternoon and
latt night. The play took even better than
it did on Wednesday night. The Associa
tion seorcifa big hit. An effort is being
made in Ma'on to induce the management
to come there and play a two nights’ engage
ment next month.
Notes Along the River.
The schooner* Welcome It. Beebe came
down off the ways yesterday after having
been wrap?! ana recaulked.
CRACKSMEN AT WORK.
Attempt to gob tho Safe of I. D. La-
Roche’a Sons.
An unsuccessful attempt to rob the safe of
1. D. Laßoelie's Sons, commission mer
chants, No, 168 Bay street, was made some
time during Wednesday night or early yes
terday morning. When Mr. Laßoche came
down town a few minutes liefore 8 o’clock
he found tho store doors open. The firm's
office is on the river side of the building.
The glass door between the wareroom and
office was open, and on the office floor were
piled the drawers from the bookkeeper's desk.
The safe was unlocked, at first glance
it showed no signs of having been tampered
with. It is an old-fashioned Herring, and
the lock was easily opened. Inside is a
small steel vault, in which the cash is kept.
The marks of a chisel were on the steel. A
key was inserted in the lock, but it would
not turn, and a locksmith was sent for to
open it.
The attempt to get into the safe was
bunglinglv made, and was evidently not
the work of professional cracksmen.
The lock was battered so badly
that it took considerable time to get
the cash vault open at all. In it
were about S3OO and three gold watches.
This was what the cracksmen were after.
Failing to-secure it they went, throheh the
bookkeeper’s desk, rifling the drawers of
whatever there was of any value. They
secured a box or two of cigars, c couple of re
volvers and some postage stamps. As they
went out through the wareroom they picked
up and carried off three caddies of tobacco.
The value of the property taken did not ex
ceed $26.
Entrance to the store was affected by
means of a sharp wedge inserted between
t be heavy dooi-s which were prie i open until
the bolt slid out of its socket. A hall-burned
candle was found on the fioor in front of the
safe. The cracksmen carried their tools
away with them, and left nothing by which
a clue could be obtained. Mr. Laßoche
said to a Mobning News re
porter that he does iot suspect p.ny one con
nected with the rilace of being implicated
in the affair. The firm collected a con
siderable amount of money after banking
hours on dVednosday, but did not leave it in
the safe. It is supposed that the fact of the
firm having several thousand dollars on
hand after banking hours and the likelihood
that it would be deposited in the safe in
duced the cracksmen to attempt the job.
Mr. Laßoche is of the opinion that the
place was broken into either late Wednes
day night or early yesterday morning, aud
that the robbers were frightened away.
DOTS FROM THE COURTS.
The Proceedings In the Superior and
City Courts.
G. E. Bevens and P. M. and R. W. Rus
sell filed a petition for counsel fees for ser
vices as attorneys in the divorce and alimony

Mr. fiaussy, and the court then adjourned.
The case of R. L West vs. George A.
Davidson, appealed from a justice court,
was continued on account of the sickness of
the plaintiff's attorney.
John M. McGrath was tried for misde
meanor, which consisted in abusing the
prosecuting witness Walsh for tho testi
mony given by him in the Fogarty case.

abused him for testifying against Fogarty.
He was found guilty, but was let off with a
severe reprimand and the payment of costs.

John R. Dawson was arraigned in the City
Court yesterday on a charge
of assault and battery. A jury
was impaneled and the defense was
ready to proceed, but the State asked for a

would discharge the witnesses.

AV. >V. Fraser, and Mr. C. I. Groover,
of the Quitman Free From. Mr. Ellen
wood first demonstrated his marked power
as a phrenologist, and then delighted his
bearers by reading in his own inimitable
manner a number of comical sketches, ns
well as some selections of a more serious
kind. By special request he read “The
Bells,” ami none of his pieces elicited more
comment. After the ram ling ho and Mr.
Fraser had an interesting argument on the
truths of Scripture, and Mr. EUenwood dis
played his very great familiarity with Holy

FLOWERS FOR GRADUATES.
The High School's Commencement at
Hunter Hall To-Day.
There was a regular run on the florists
for awhile yesterday, and the way that
bouquets and baskets of flowers were or
dered fairly startled the unsuspecting flori
culturists. One of them said last night
that he had orders for flowers enough to make
Hunter Hall look like a flower show. He sup
posed of course that they are Intended for the
pretty graduates who will grace the stage
to-day, as they were ordered chiefly by
vouug men who did not spare their pocket
books, and each one wanted his bouquet
made of choicest flowers and got up prettier
than somebody’s else. The florists say that
they have sold more commencement bou
quets this year than ever before.
The High School graduation exercises will
begin at 9:80 o’clock this morning. The
entrance to Hunter Hall is from Bull street
through the main hall way of the new build
ing. The stage has been arranged, for the
principals of the schools, the members of
the school board and the graduates. The
rest of the hall will be given up to the
friends of the class.
The programme, including the honor
pupils and the essayists, has already been
published in the Morning News. There
are twenty-one essays to lie read, beside the
salutatory, the valedictories, the class his
tory, and the Arnold Society oration, so
that with these and the address
to the graduates, which will
be deli vend bv Rev. Dr. Bowman, of the
Evangelical Lutheran church, the exer
cises will be i-ather lengthy. In order that
all of the graduates might read, the essays
were made short. The award of the diplo
mas is about the last thing on the pro
gramme. and that will be by Col. George
A. .Mercer, President of the Board of Edu
cation.
KEEPING UP BASE BALL.
Movement to Organize an Interstate
Amateur League.
The movement to organize an interstate
league, composed of clubs from Savannah,
Charleston, Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, Co
lumbus, Pensacola and Jacksonville, and
possibly one or two other cities, is being
pushed and is likely to' take definite
shape. A meeting will be called early
noxi week for the purpose of organizing
and arranging for a conference with repre
sentatives from other cities. The purpose
is to employ only home players with a pro
fessional battery. The idea is to popular
ize the sport and to do away altogether, if
possible, with professional players. The
promoters of tne enterprise are moving
early so as to get the matter
before the public as soon as possible. If
they succeed in effecting a satisfactory
organization in Savannah, a call will be
issued for a convention, to which represen
tatives from the leading cities of Georgia,
South Carolina and Florida will be invited.

The AVild Girl of Catahoula.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
A strange story comes from Catahoula
parish in this State. It is told by a corres
pondent of the Harrisonburg Newt.
It appears that there is north and west of
Funny Louis, in ward No. 4, what may be
termed the desert of Catahoula parish, and
covers fully two townships of 46,650 acres of
land. There are three roads running
through it from Centerville, one to Colum
bia, one to Castor Springs and the other to
Siminon’s ferry, at the head of Little river.
There are no habitations on this vast
tract of land, yet it is covered
with a deuse forest of spruce, or
short leaf pine, mixed with post oak,
white thorn, huckleberry bushes and sedge
grass. Near the borders of'Funny‘Louis
stream, and on the north side of'it, and
south of this desert, there are some families
located; among them lives Air. Jack Francis,
who has several children. One of his daugh
ters, 14 or 15 years old, while driving home
the cows last December, ran to the house
and declared that she sa w a wild girl, per
fectly nude, with long black hair; that the
girl had broken a bush of parsley haws and
ran away on seeing her.
This wild girl, it is claimed, has been re
peatedly seen, and several times by iiersons
on horseback, who pursued her at full speed,
but her extraordinary floetness enabled the
strange creature to outstrip their horses
and escape. In connection with this appari
tion it is reported by Mr. A. Dukes, who
lives near AY hi to Sulphur Springs, in that
parish, that a wretched and degraded
white woman named Duck used
to tramp through the country
with three children, and one being
about 7 Years old was a beaut iful girl, but
had a club foot, for which Madam Duck
often threatened to throw the child away.
Ever since then he has noticed only two
children with her, and so concludes that she
abandoned this girl in that wild region and
that she has survived the miseries of the
terrible situation. People in the country
are interesting themselves in the case and a
systematic s arch will be made for the wild
waif.

ARCHBISHOP GROSS.
A Letter From the Rev. Gentleman to
An Augusta Lady.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Friends, and they are legion, of Rt. Rev.
Bishop Gross, in Augusta, will l-ead with in
terest the following letter from him to an
Augusta lady:
My Very Dear Friend—l invite you to
enter the state-room of this fine steamer, on
board of which these lines are written; 1 in
vite you to enter in spirit, for were you cor
poreally present you would doubtless he more
desirous to go out on deck to enjoy the
beautiful scenery which adorns this
grand river. Moreover, you would
doubtless like to see the fishermen, for this
is the great home of that magnificent fish,
the salmon. You can see great piles or
these large fishes here and there where
fishermen have then - headquarters. I have
oft*n watched them in great numbers in the
river, and it is pheasant to see them spring
from the sparkling wave and flash their sil
ver sides in the bright sunlight.
1 am going to Astoria, which is at the
mouth ot the Columbia river, just as it
pours its wnters into the broad Pacific
ocean. The town looks very beautiful. It
is situated on high grounds that rise from
riverside to high hills. From the door of
our little church one can see the breakers as
they majestically roll on the bar.
The trip I told you I intended making, I
could not undertake; there were some twelve
feet of snow on the mountain range over
which I should be obliged to pass, and so I
could not venture. Even in the midst of
summer it is so cold that I was nearly frozen
when I last made the trip. Moreover, the
journey has to be made on a buck
board and one must sit bolt
upright, entirely unsheltered against rain,
hail or snow, which may come. One must
postpone all ideas of sleep, for it is a jour
ney of twenty four hours uninterrupted
travel. I shall start on this journey next
week, and having crossed the mountains
will enter into a great wilderness which I
have never yet visited. I expect a great
many privations and perhaps suffering on
the trip.
But instead of that big trip I went down
to Southern Oregon, and was within five
miles of the boundary between Oregon and
California. The couhtry visited was pretty
wild, and there was some roughing to do,
but it is a beautiful land, splendid range of
mountains run through the section, and
many of their snow-clad summits
look proudly down on valleys of
great verdure. The ‘'Rogue'' river
and many other delightful streams
lend an unspeakable charm to the
landscape. And to this benutiful region
God has given a delicious climate. I cannot
but often get vexed at the mean names that
our people' will persist in giving to loca
tions. We have here the "devil's rock," the
“devil’s backbone,” the "devil's pulpit,”
and what not. I could not help saying to
an Oregonian: "It is customary to name
favorite sites after a country’s heroes; what
a hero, then, must the devil'be to the people
of Oregon.” Compare these ugly names
to the poetic ones given by Catholics: “Los
Angeles,” “Mt. Angel,” "Santa Clara,”
“Vera Cruz,” etc., etc.
Well, I have written you this time quite a
long letter. I cannot tell you how much I
enjoy your’s with its little budget of news
from dear Georgia—do you know that I
sometimes dream that I am visiting there?
My heart leaps with pleasurable emotions
and I am saddened to awake and find it all
but a dream at tfce best. How delight
ful must Heaven be! Indeed, I have so
many there, that the wish to meet them,
never to part, greatly grows upon me.
Row, please give my kindest love to each
and every one of your dear family. You
know that I would mention every name,
but tell them they need not be written ou
Eaper since they all are engraved on my
eart. VVm. H. Gross,
Archbishop of Oregon.
