Savannah, Florida and Western Ry.
The Superior Court heard the second trial
of the case of Jamos Harrigan vs. tho
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
Company, and the jury gave the plaintiff a
verdict for $4,245. Harrigan was a car
builder, but went into tho shop one day to
make a hammer handle for a fellow-work
man, a tinner, ns the handles tho company
furnished did not suit the work the tinner
was doing. While cutting out the handle
at a circular saw Harrigan lost thm> fingers.
He sued thecompony for $lO,OOO and got a
verdict for $3,750. The company moved
for anew trial and it. was grunted, and
Harrigan got another verdict, this time fur
$4 ,245. The defense was that the company
furnished handles and had issued a positive
order to the men not to make their own han
dles, but to get them from the foreman.
The plaintiff proved that, notwithstanding
the order, the men continued to make han
dles; that the foreman knew it and never
stnppi . them, and, said one of the jurors, it
was that point that influenced tho jury to
give a verdict for the plaintiff.
The application of Samuel Herman for a
homestead out of the assets of his assign
ment was heard in the Superior Court. H.
B. Clafliu & Cos. und other creditors object
ing. The jury returned a verdict for Her

TO FORECLOSE A MORTGAGE.
The Central Wants the Savannah and
Griffin Railroad Bonds Paid.
The Central railroad has determined to
foreclose the mortgage bonds which it bolds
against the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama road. The amount of the lxinds
is $500,000, which would have become due
in 1891, hail it not lieen fur the clause which
was inserted iu the mortgage stipulating
that in cose tho interest, which becomes due
semi-annually, should not be promptly paid,
or, in case six months elapst-d without a
payment of interest, the entire amount of
bonds with interest up to date of maturity
becomes due.
The Central claims that Its interest has
not been paid as required Ivy the conditions
of the mortgage Linds. Tin-full amount
set forth in the bill is $908,000, represented
by $500,000 principal and $408,000 interest.
A decree lias been asked from tho court
ordering that the mortgaged road lx
put on sale, so that the nocessary
amount can tie raised to pay off its
bonded indebtedness. The bill will be argued
before Judge Boynton at Griffin in February
and it is understood will not Vie met with
opposition by the stockholders, whom it is
expected will file counter suit- und try and
restrain the foreclosure. The bill has
already been filed ot Griffin. Tho capital
stock of the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama railroad is $1,011,195. Of this
amount the Central controls $301,100.

MOTHER PEAK AND HER FAMILY
Give a Charming Entertainment at St.
John’s Pariah Hall.
The “L. O. V.” Society of St. John’s
church gave a most delightful entertain
ment at St. John's Parish Hall last night.
Mother Peak anil her twenty-one charming
daughters were given a hearty welcome by
the audience as they marched into the hall
with their toll white peaked caps. Their
opening chorus was very prettily sung
ami was loudly applauded.
Miss Maggie (ilivcr as “Olivette Peak,”
sang “Who’s at My Window” inacliarnting
manner. Mother Peak in announcing
Olivette’s song said that she diil't approve
of it at all but that “Olivette” was a Peak.
Miss Oliver is a favorite with the musical
public and she was wurmly applauded. Miss
Marie Lesesne as “Mamie Peak” very
sweetly sang “For You” and was followed
by the Ivamm chorus, as played by Theodore
Thomas’ orchestra, by eight Peaks. The
chorus was “Way Down Upon the Suwanee
River” played on combs. It was repeatedly
applauded anil as an encore Mother Peak
list her daughters in “Dixie,” which was even
more enthusiastically received than was
“S’wannoe River.”
Mother Peuk then introduced her dumb
daughter, Tiney, whom she explained had
been staying at Tybee for her health, and
had lost her voice in the marshes some time
ago while on her way to tho city by the
Tybee railroad. When Tiney stepped be
fore her sistci-s she didn’t look as though she
bad been staying at a summer hotel very
long. Her song was in pantomime, but it
took the audience, mid she was twice re
called. The last time her identity was re
voaled, and the audience knew Tiney as Mr.
Cecil Berrien. Then followed the closing
anthem, and the Peaks retired.
"Mother Peak," by Mrs. J. Riley, was a
most original character. Her witty savings
and local hits were apt and pointed. There
ore few who can make the part a success,
and Mrs. Riley did. Her daughters were
Misses Williams, Besselieu, Middleton,
Shivers, Stone, Oliver, Lesesne, Berrien,
Paine, Proctor, Haynes, AVnlthour, Gar
many and Cherry. The "Peak Family"
lias never been better represented than it
was last night.
Tho second part of tho entertainment be
gan with Miss Bernstein’spianosolo,"Bongof
the Woods.” Miss Bernstein is a talented
performer, and her execution of one of
Ralmdeeker’s most difficult works was
greeted with warm applause. In response
she plavod one of Chopin’s waltzes.
Mr. \V. IS. Dnffin sang with excellent
effect “Two Little Bagged Urchins;" and
then came the operetta, "Cups and Hau
ers,” with Mr. P. H. Ward as the “Gen
eral,” and Miss Maggie Oliver as “Mrs.
Worcester." This was tho concluding
part of the entertainment. The piece
was charmingly given. Miss Oliver made a
splendid “Mrs. Worcester," and the part
could hardly havo beeu letter acted. Her
solos and duets with the “General” were ad
mirably given. Mr. Ward made the most
of the "General's” part. Everybody was de
lighted with tho operetta ami the entire en
tertainment
The “Y. B. F.” orchestra, composed of
Missis, Hiirtridge, l’urso, Drane, Butler,
Lamar and iSpivy, played the overture.
After the operetta tho young ladies of the
society served ice cream and cake.
The entertainment was given in aid of the
church rectory fund. In spite of the rain
there was a tine attendance, ami tho hall
was nearly filled.

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
What is Going on in South Carolina’s
Metropolis.

tioned as a candidate for the Mayoralty of
Charleston, says that he will not be a candi
date, nor will he accept u nomination for
this office if it should tie offered to him by

come candidates are being discussed. A

tion.
Charlestonians are stirred up over the
rumors about the New York steamships.
The Sews and Courier says that negotia
tions of some kind have been in progress for
some time. What they are no one except
the officers of the company know, and there
is no such thing as a latch string on the door
of their mouths. They say that something
is going to happen and this is all that they
will sav. The City of Columbia and the
City of Atlanta have not been running be
tween New York and Charleston for about
two months. These two steamships hnve
been seiz.il in New York for debt. It is
said that three years ago the indebtedness
amounted to $150,000. An arrangement
was made, as the story goes, that
this indebh'dness, which was due the builder
of the ships, was to be paid in throe annual
installments, and that not one of those in
stallments has beeu paid. The builder of tho
ships wanted his money, demanded payment,
anil a short while ago seized the ships. The
builder was not the only creditor of the line.
Claims for repairs and claims for supplies
have been entered and arc seeking priority.
The whole amount of indebtedness on tfie
two steamships is now said to amount to
over $200,060, It is suiil that there will be a
lawsuit over the ships, and that they will be
sold. Tho two ships are said to Ik.'long to
the South Carolina Railway Company.
THE STAR-STUDDED SKY.
Movements of the Planets During
Summer’s Second Month.
The star-lit evenings of July will be full
of tieauty for those who delight to study the
wonders of the heavens. Tho peerless Venus,
fairest of the stars, will reach her greatest
distance eastward from the sun, while she
shines like a young moon in the glowing
West. The lordly Jupiter will look down
from the meridian at sunset and tread with
starry foot his western path until at mid
night he sinks below the horizon. The ring
girdled Saturn, hidden from mortal sight,
will |mss beyond tho sun and commence
his course as morning star. Mer
cury, on winged feet will, like Venus,
reach hi* eastern Hunt, and w ith hurrying
pace pans between us and the sun to join
the choir of morning stars in hoavenlv liar
inony. These are the movements of some
of our brother worlds, members like our
selves of the sun’s family. They are but
motes in the sunbeum, grains of sand on the
seashore, where we compare them with the
immensity of the material universe, as glo
riously pictured in the suns of space that
track their shining wav in myriad hosts
over the broad concave of the heavens.

A Commercial Traveler’s Complaint.
Eastman, Ga., July 4. —Editor Morning
Sews: The traveling public on this lino of
road (Macon and Brunswick division of the
East Tennessoe, Virginia and Georgia rail
road) are very much put out on account of a
recent order by the management of this
road which prevents the public getting on
or off by the night lines, both north and
south-bound, at any station except Cochran,
Eastman, Cliaunccy, Lumber City and Cur
rency. This is not only a great inconve
nience to the commercial traveler, but to
the public generally, who have no ftime to
lose in visiting either Macon or Savannah.
No doubt in many instances persons prefer
staying at home rather than spending nearly
thrixs days for a trip formerly made in one
day.
Before the order was issued one could
leave home at night for either Mooon or Sa
vannah, have all day following to attend to
business, and be back home again the same
night. As it is at pivsont it takes tile Inst
jiart of one day to get to either citv. arriv
ing there late at evening, another day to at
tend to business and the best part of a third
day to get hack home again.
t cannot see any good reason for such a
change. Bv leaving it by the former sched
ule the roucl is not put to any extra expense,
mid to save time in running they need not
stop only at stations where passengers want
to get off or are flagged down for passen
gers to get on.
I hope by your bringing these facts to tho
notice of the management they may find it
to the interest and advantage of all con
cerned to revoke the order. I).

THE FEATURES OF JUNE.
■■■ - ■ *■
What the Signal Service Reports Say
About the Month.
The month of June, according to the sig
nal service reports, was remarkable for gen
eral deficiency in rainfall all over tho coun
try, the absence of frosts in the northern
portion of the country, and the small num
ber of severe local destructive storms.
The moan temperature for the month was
equal to or below the normal over the States
lorderiug on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri. The
greati-st depressions below the normal were
3 at Wilmington, Jacksonville and New
Orleans; 4” at Charleston, Brownsville, and
Uio Grande City, and 6" at Mobile. It was
above the nornuu over the Like region, tho
Ohio, the Missouri, and Upper Mississippi
valleys. The greatest differences are re
ported os 3* from St. Louis, Davenport, St.
Paul, Duluth and Deadwood; 4° from Hu
ron, Dak., and Bismarck.
There was a general deficiency of rainfall
throughout the region cast of the Rocky
Mountains, except in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Maryland, Kansas, Nebraska, South
ern Georgia, and the southern portions of
the States bordering on tho Gulf of Mexico.
The greatest deficiencies are reported from
Tennessee, the Ohio and upper Mississippi
valleys. Some of the greatest departures
below the normal rainfall (in inches) are:
Chattanooga, 2.8; Louisville, 2.7; Coluin
bus, 2.8; St. Louis, 2.(i; Keokuk, 3!9; Des-
Moines, 4,!); LaCrosse, 3.5; Milwaukee, 3.3;
and Grand Haven, 3.9. Some of the great
est excesses of rainfall above the normal
(in inches) are: New York City, 4.4; Phila
delphia, 3.5; Savannah, 3.8; Jacksonville,
4.0; Mobile, 8.4; New Orleans, 5.3; Galves
ton, 4.0; Brownsville, 11.5; and Rio Grande
City, U.S. The total rainfall for tho month
on the Pacific coast was slightly below the
normal. The following total rainfall (in
inches) for the month are given as extra
ordinary: Savannah, 10.8; Mobile, 14.1;
New Orleans, 11.3; Brownsville, 13.8.
No destructive frosts were reported from
any stations of the service during the month.
This fact seems to be in accord with the
statement of the mean temperature being
above the normal for the month in the
regions where frost would most likely occur.
During the 10th and 11th high easterly
winds prevailed aloug the Atlantic coast
from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras. The ab
sence of rain, the presence of temperature
of 30° to 50“ aiiove freezing, the general
steadiness of the wind velocity, and timely
warnings by cautionary signals reduce
possible disasters to a minimum. A number
of other dangerous winds occurred, but
were of a local nature and brief endurance,
and usually accompanied thunder storms.
Severe local storms were quite rare during
the month. Some were reported from Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Missouri, Dakota
and Western Texas of a destructive nature.
The Markham House, Atlanta, Ga.
This always popular hostelry has recently
changed hands, and is now conducted by
Ervin Maxwell, who is also the proprietor
of the celebrated Palace Hotel in Cincinnati,
O. The latter, however, is run under the
name of Ervin Maxwell & Son, while the
Markham is managed solely by Mr. Max
well himself. This gentleman has lieen in
the business for lorty-one years, starting at
the bottom as a kitchen boy and steadily
working up to the topmost rung of the lad
der. The Palace Hotel under his astute
management, from the very lowest condi
tion when ho assumed charge, has acliieved
a proud success, and now takes rank with
the best andAuost fashionable houses of en
tertainment in the Union. Under the plas
tic touch of Mr. Maxwell the Markham, too,
has taken anew departure, and the interior
of the establishment would hardly be recog
nized by its best patrons. Indeed he has so
added to. altered and improved the arrange
ment of the first floor, that it is like anew
creation. Partitions were knocked away,
new chambers, closets, etc. constructed, and
till the conveniences and appurtenances of a
first-class modern hotel superadded. The
effect has been almost magical. The water
closets are simply unsurpassed. A commo
dious kitchen with long cooking ranges,
boilers, dressers and all the new inventions
of the culinary art in full array, presided
over by skillful and experienced cooks,
leaves nothing wanting in that department.
Adjoining, too, may be found the pantry,
crockery and glass room, linen chamber,
bakery, steam laundry, (with its ironing ap
paratus, wringing machine, etc.) carving
;uid serving apartments, storeroom stocked
like a family grocery, pastry closet, wash
room, and in short a place for everything,
deftly and artistically devised and arranged
by Mr. Maxwell himself. All of these im
provements are entirely new and complete,
even the floors having been taken up and re
laid. Above, the sleeping chambers, par
lors, passage ways, etc., are all handsomely
furnished and well ventilated; most of the
furniture and carpets, and all of the jiair
mattresses aud linen being “spic and span”
new. Every room in the house has been
thoroughly papered and painted, and the
whole establishment remodeled at heavy
cost, and presents a very attractive appear
ance. Even the elevators, which run ail
night, have iieen thoroughly overhauled,
and electric bells communicate with every
chamber. The dining-room equipment, in
cluding chairs, glass, cutlery, candelabra,
linen, etc., is all new and elegant. These
improvements were all made under the im
mediate direction of thejnroprietor at an
outlay of over $30,000. The hotel has had
a most successful opening and will doubtless
be liberally patronized.
The cuisine and table are simply excel
lent, and the staff of servants large and at
tentive. Mr. Maxwell is no stranger in
Georgia, having owned a home in Marietta
tor many years. Phons Young, so favor
ably known to the public, is iubtallod in the
office, assisted by Will E. Maxwell, room
clerk; Fred Davis, cashier, and Theodore
Hammoud night clerk.
The Markham can accommodate 250
guests, and the proprietor is always on hand
to make them comfortable and happy.
