8 NO NEW LAWS WANTED. NAVAL STORE PRODUCERS OPPOSE LEGISLATIVE ACTION. Strong Opposition to the Policy of the Jesup Meeting—Another Association Organised Outspoken Resolutions on the Subject Adopted—Confidence in the Factors Expressed. 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 Jesup on April 11. and condemned everyone 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 meeting by preparing a memorial to the Legislature, asking that tho appointment of inspectors be made by tho State, aud also that a law be passed regulating port charges. THE CALL FOR THE MEETING. On account of that meeting notices wore sent out for a meeting here, and thev were responded to by William Hughes, McNeil & Paxton, Paxton Bros., J. B. Frazier and IV. H. Bradley, of Liberty county; William Pritchett and William Pritchett & Cos., of Montgomery county: John C. Powell, of Laurens county ;J.E. Albcrry, Of Telfair countv: McGeaehy Smith, of Effingham; Thagard Bros.. & Cos. and B. T. Outlaid, ot Bullock, and E. J. Baker, of Echols county. Mr. Bak ,r also represented T. W. Tenv and Mr. Powvl! represented Pearch, Wiggs & Cos.. of Johnson county. Alter the meeting had l teen called to order Mr. Hughes was elected Chairman and Mr. John C. Powell Secretary. 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 adopted: Whereas, There was held at Jesup. Ga., on April 11. last, a meeting of what is known as the Naval Stores Protective Association, composed or twenty-three members representing forty 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. AN ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED. After the adoption of these resolutions Maj. Letford moved that tho nuumfneturors present form an association, to be known as the Mutual Naval Store Producers Associa tion, which sha’J meet on the first. Monday in October and March of each year and con sider matters of interest to the producers of naval stores. The motion was carried and the following permanent officers were elected: President—E. J.

Outland, Esq., to accompany the Chairman to At lanta to oppose any action on the part of the Legislature. 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 case of Josiah Lloyd vs. Clarissa Lloyd. Judge Adams deferred the hearing of the petition until Juno 27. In the case of J J. Reilly, agent, etal. vs. the Imperial Insurance Company of London the hearing of testimony was resumed, and the defense Introduced testimony in rebuttal. The argument for the plaintiff was made by- 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. Walsh was ah important witness for the State in the Fogarty trial, and McGrath abused him for testifying against Fogarty. He was found guilty, but was let off with a severe reprimand and the payment of costs. the city court. 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 continuance because its witnesses hail not been found.

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. Red Buga. Red Bugs is the sequel to picnics and rum blings in tho woods.

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.
