8 KENNEDY'S PRETTY HAUL THE JASPER LOAN ASSOCIATION ODT $22,000. The Expert's Report Submitted to the Stockholders Kennedy's Proposi tion to Settle -He Admits the Short age, but Says That He will Pay Every Dollar in Time- His Indebtedness as a Borrower. The result of the expert’s investigation of the books of Daniel R. Kennedy, late treas urer of the Jasper Mutual Jxuin Association, was submitted to the stockholders last night. Kennedy’s shortage is put at $22,911 28. The amount of his arrearages as a borrow er is $5,990. For this the association holds Kennedy's real estate as collateral. The expert’s report has been in the hands of the directors several days, but was not made public until last night. IN A TANGLED CONDITION. The books were found in a very tangled condition, and it became necessary to ob tain a large amount of the data from which the report is made up, from such sources as the stock certificate book, the Secretary’s warrants, which were in the Treasurer’s possession, and various memoranda which was turned over to the expert. A separate account had to be opened with every in dividual who has had dealings with the Association since it was organized. HOW THE SHORTAGE OCCURRED. Kennedy’s shortage is chargeable to fifty eight shares of unissued stock. His method of working was something like this: Par ties desiring to borrow from the Association would arrange with the Treasurer to pur chase for them a sufficient number of shares to enable them to make the desired loans. When the warrant, was drawn upon the Association by the Secretary in favor of the borrower for the net amount of the loan he would pay over to the Treasurer the amount necessary to purchase the stock. 58 SHARES OPERATED UPON. This was the case with twenty-nine of the fifty-eight shares upon which Kennedy realized, the full amount of the warrant be ing paid to the borrower by the association’s check, or, as was the case with the other twenty-nine shares, the amount, necessary to purchase the stock was deducted from the warrant, the borrower being paid the net proceeds of his loan, less the price of his stock. STOCK NOT IN EXISTENCE. The stock thus paid for, in either case, was not purchased by Kennedy, and the loans were thus made upon stock not iu ex istence. There were fifty-nine shares al together of this character, but in one in stance a party making a loan failed from some cause to collect the amount of the warrant and the loan being cancelled the share upon which it was predicated was also cancelled. This left the number of shares of unissued stock fifty-eight. THE EXPERT’S STATEMENT. The full statement of Kennedy’s collec tions is as follows: at installments on 400 shares at, $5.., $134,000 00 1 nterest on loans made on stock in cluded in 400 shares. .. 38,085 00 From advance payments by holders of stock 7,550 00 From fines 203 40 On unissued stock 3,150 00 Interest on same 2,730 00 Advance payments on same 1,850 00 Total ...I $187,518 40 From this amount was deducted $10,470, the amount due by stockholders, leaving the amount collected $177,048 40. Other collec tions foot up $1,485, making the total amount collected $179,213 40. SOURCES OK CREDIT. The sources of credit were as follows: Payments made on Secretary’s war rant* $158,188 73 Payments made without Secretary’s warrants, but for legitimate pur poses, such as interest upon ad vances, payments, taxes on real es tate, etc 1,315 57 Salary of Treasurer, exclusive of first year 2,750 00 Salary of President, exclusive of first year 1,100 00 Amount paid by Kennedy to C. S. Wood, being the balance of cash on hand $162 82. leaving account de ficient of 15,096 28 In this is included the amounts deducted from the face value of the Secretary's war rant to pay for stock to be cancelled, amounting on twenty-nine shares to $9,285, the par value of the other twenty-nine of the fifty-eight shares at the various dates at which such stock was issued, amounting to $8,715, making a total shortage of $22,91128. This is, of course, the amount of Kennedy’s irregularity as Treasurer, his arrearages as a borrower being a different matter altogether. RECEIVING THE REPORT. The report was read by Director J. S. Wood, who presided at the meeting in the absence of the President. It created very little stir, the stockholders many of them having already been mi vised as to its con tents. Upon motion of Mr. R. B. Reppard it was received as information, and a copy was ordered sent to every stockholder. A letter was read from Mr. Kennedy, in which he asked that a statement of his arrearages be furnished to him. He said that he is anx ious to settle, if possible, and that he wants $e pay back to the association every dollar that he owes it. KENNEDY APPROVES IT. Mr. Wood stated that the report had al ready been submitted to Mr. Kennedy, and he had adhiitted it* correctness and had approved it. Mr. J. C. Rowland said that he had also submitted to him a statement of his arrearages as a borrower, and he had approved that. The Secretary was in structed, however, to furnish him a copy of the report. There was very little discussion over the matter, and it was gen erally accepted that the $22,000, which, in round numbers, is the amount of the late treasurer's shortage, will have to be borne by the association. The $5,000 which he borrowed is fully secured. No steps were taken toward a prosecution, and the matter stands now where it did a month ago. Mrs, Deßenne’s Will. The will of the late Mrs. Mary Deßenne was probated yesterday. It provides that her houses on Bull street and at Worrusloe shall remain as they are, they and their contents to lie for the use of her daughter, Miss Letitia Deßenne, so long as she may continue to use them. Her Central Railroad and Ranking Company deben tures she leaves to her daughter uud the remaining portkm of her estate she directs shall l>e divided among her three children—Letitia, Everard und Kentroyn— share and share alike. Certain Jewels, pic tures and wines are willed to different rela tives. To her old servant, George Nutall, she leaves 100 shares of Augusta and Sa vannah railroad stock, to lie held in tiust, he to receive the interest. Upon his death the stock is to go to the Episcopal Orphans’ Home. Local Personal. Mrs. Roliert, Anderson returned yesterday from the North. Mr. H. II Gilmer returned from the North yesterday on the Chattahoochee. Mi-s. E. S. Gustin was a passenger on the Chattahoochee from New York yesterday. Ex-Alderman Andrew Hanley has re turned from a ten weeks’ trip abroad. Mr. Hanley left Savannah in July for his health and after a tour through Ireland has re turned much improved. Mr. I. M. Rosenfeld f has just returned fronj the North. While in Baltimore, where he spent some time, he brought out his “Chatham Artillery Waltz,” which he com posed and dedicated to Capt. Wheaton, over a year ago. It, immediately took, and is now being played in nearly all the orches tras there. The Baltimore American says of its rendering a), the Academy of Music, that it is a work that is highly appreciated by musical jieople. ASHORE AND IN FLAMES. The Steamer Katie Grounds on a Sand Bar and Catches Fire—34o Bales of Cotton Lost. The steamer Katie, which has been ashore since Monday on a sand bar near Burton’s Ferry, up the Savannah river, arrived here at 8:35 o’clock last night. The captain re ports having left Augusta on Saturday with 040 bales of cotton. The water in the river was very low, and the boat made very slow progress and finally, on Monday morning, she grounded on a sand bar n short distance below Burton’s Ferry. On Wednesday afternoon about 3 o’clock, and while still aground and working to get her off, fire broke out in the cotton in the forward part of the boat, and 840 bales of cotton were lost by being burned and thrown over board. The fire burned furiously, and the flames shot high up into the air accom panied by great volumes of smoke. The crew made strenuous efforts to save the boat, and as much of the cargo as itossible, but the tioat, received considerable damage, being burned and charred very badly for ward, the pilot house and upper deck being also injured. As soon ns the cotton was thrown over board it lightened the boat up ismsiderably, and she gradually worked off the bank and came down the river under great difficulty, having on board about 300 bales of cot ton, the balance of the cargo, in pretty good condition, it being mostly all aft and amidships, covered with tarpaulins and saved. The tire is sup posed to have originated from sparks from the smokestack, the engines being at work at the time in the endeavor to get the boat off the bank. At the late hour at which the boat arrived it could not be ascertained whether the cotton was insured or not, or the full extent of the damage to the boat. A survey will be held on tlie steamer to-day, when the damage will be made plain. The Katie will be laid up about two weeks to undergo the necessary repairs. AFTER A BAD NEGRO. Two Constables Hunting Him With Shotguns. A negro woman named Annie Jones swore out a warrant for the arrest of Charles Robertson before Justice Waring Russell yesterday morning, and charged him with pointing a pistol at her. Robertson is the negro who shot Capt. Williams on Wednes day evening, and yesterday morning ho had the whole neighborhood of Olive and Farm streets stirred up, for he was perambulating around with a horse pistol, and every one was afraid it would go off. Annie asked him what he was doing with such a big pis tol, and he replied that ho would shoot her with it if she did not shut up, at the same time pointing it at her. Constable Simmons was in Justice Russell’s office when the war rant was issued, and he said he knew Robertson, and would serve the warrant. It was placed in his hands and he started off. He sighted Robertson down on Olive street and Robertson sighted him. When lie got within about fifteen paces Robertson said: “Hello, Simmons, what are you doing down here!” “I’ve got a warrant for you,” was the re ply. “Well take that,” said Robertson, as he raised his pistol and fired. Simmons re treated in good order and reported the facts in the case to Justice Russell. Scott Thur man was standing by and ho too knew Robertson. He volunteered to aid Simmons and he was sworn in. He procured a double barreled shot gun and the two started off on the hunt, armed this time with two war rants, the second with assault with intent to kill Constable Simmons. When they went back to Olive and Farm streets they found that Robertson had gone out on the Augusta road and they followed him out. They said they would bring him back dead or alive and they have not been heard from since. THE MILITIA ORDERED OUT. Preparations for the Visit to Atlanta Next Week.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1887. ENGLISH CAPTAINS RULED OUT. Tho Port Wardens Win Another Vic tory in Court. Capts. Steeves, Stunack, Wilson, Reavely and Smith, commanders of British steam ships here, were tried before Acting Mayor Schwarz yesterday morning on informa tion filed by the Port Wardens against them for acting on surveys held on the British ships recently damaged by fire. The British Consul and captains will not have the Port Wardens on boards of sur vey, and invariably make up their boards from the commanders of British vessels in the port, but the city ordinance requires that the Port Wardens shall hold surveys. F. G. dußignon, Esq., appeared for the Port Wardens, A, 51 Inis, Esq., for Capt. Smith, and I’. J. O’Connor, Esq., for the other defendants. The case against Capt. Smith was continued. Mr. O’Connor argued that in 1882 Acting Mayor Hamilton hold that the ordinance in question was unconstitutional; that Mayor Lester had upheld the ordinance, but that the decision of Acting Mayor Hamilton had never been reversed or appealed from, and the fines imposed by Mayor Lester hail never been collected. Air. dußignon said that the fines had not boon collected because the Port Wardens had not urged the matter, as they did not want it to appear that they had filed the information for the purpose of making money. He said that a similar case to the one being tried was once dismissed, but there was no record of any decision that tho ordinance was unconstitutional. He held that the seaworthiness of vessels was a matter of public interest, and the surveys ought to be made by tho public officers, who are competent, and not by private parties. Maj. Schwarz agreed with him and fined Capt. Steeves SSO, Capt. Ktanack SBO, Capt. Wilson $lO and Capt. Reavelv S2O, the amount of tho fines being graded according to the number of surveys each hail acted on, the alternative being twenty days in jail. Mr. O’i 'onnor said the ordinance pro vided no alternative, but Maj. Schwarz said he would take the responsibility of im posing it. A Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY. Mr. David A. Gordon to Come to Sa vannah- The Y. M. C. A.’s Work. The directors of the Young Men’s Chris tian Association have secured the services of Mr. Duvid A. Gordon, formerly General Secretary of the Charleston Association, as General Secretary here. A telegram was re ceived yesterday from Mr. Gordon, who is now in Massachusetts, stating that he will be here on Oct. 24. He is a gentleman of large experience in Young Men’s Christian Association work and is an able organizer, having done very effective work in Charles ton. He was formerly with the Buffalo (N. Y.) Association which is one of the best organized among the associations of this country. Upon the arrival of Mr. Gordon the work here will lie taken up anew, l’he annual meeting of the association will be held on Oct. 23, a week from to-morrow, when a new board of directors and officers will lie elected. The young men’s meetings, which were discontinued early in the summer, will be resumed to-morrow afternoon in the gymnasium hall. With the accession of Mr. Gordon as General Secretary the as sociation, under his experienced guidance, will take on new life. The reading room and amusement parlors are largely visited every day, and the past, year’s work of the association has been far more successful than was anticipated. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters o? Money and Management About Various Lines. Mr. D. Candwell, chief of the division of passenger and freight t raffic, at Columbia, of the Richmond and Danville roads was in Charleston this week in conference with the cotton merchants. He denies that there is any discrimination against Charleston in any way on the Richmond and Danville system. The stockholders of the three C’s railroad met in Charleston Thursday and elected the following lioard of directors: Frank Coxe, Philadelphia, Pa.; Richard Dozier George town, S. C.: M. C. Butler, Edgefield, 8. C.; James D. Blanding, Sumter, 8. C.: Henry K. Baker, Springfield, Mass.; ,T. T. Wilder, Chattanooga, Tenn.; P. P. Dickinson, New York city; Peter J. Sinclair, Marion, N. C.; H. D. Lee, Shelby, N. C.; W. L. Roddey, Rock Hill, S. C.; Damon N. Coats, New York city; E. S. Brewer, Hartford, Conn.; William F. Callender, Springfield, Mass. Mr. Coxe was elected President. The com pany wants to build au independent line of railway from the Ohio Valley to Charleston. By an “independent” line is meant one that will not depend for its connections with Charleston on either the South Carolina railway or the Atlantic Const Line. Propo sitions have been made to the company looking to tlie use of tho Camden branch of the South Carolina railway, or the Sumter- Lane'ssection of the Atlantic Coast Line to reach Charleston. It is, however, tlie policy of tlie road at this time to come to Charles ton on its own merits, though the line will run from Ciunden to Sumter, and thence in dependently to Charleston.

An Inspector to be Placed at Way cross To-day—Locked Cars to be Permitted to Pass North via the Junction, but not Allowed In the City—Stringent Measures Adopted. The Sanitary Board decided last night to establish a quarantine against Florida. Jacksonville, having a rigid quarantine already in force, will, in a measure, protect Savannah, but the board determined, since yellow fever is reported in tho interior of Florida, to take every precaution to prevent, even the possibility of its introduction here. A meeting was held last night and it was decided to quarantine without further delay. An inspector will be sent to Waycross to-day, and all passengers from Jacksonville will be required to pro duce health certificates signed by the au thorities there. Locked cars which passed through Jacksonville locked will be allc well to pass north via Savannah junction, but will not be allowed to come into the city. Vessels from Havana and the vicinity of Tani[)a will be subject to the quarantine regulations of the port. Health Officer Mitchell, of Jacksonville, telegraphed yesterday, asking what action Savannah would take, and he was wired the result of last night's meeting. Passengers coming North from Jacksonville will be provided with certificates before leaving there. The appointment of one inspector to be placed at Waycross will tie made this morning. The Savannah, Florida and Western authorities were ad vised at once of the action of the Health Board, and their co-operation in maintain ing efficient quarantine was asked. Acting Mayor Schwarz said last night that nothing will be left undone to protect the city in every possible way, and that if the measures already adopted are not suffi cient immediate steps will be taken to secure absolute safety. THE ORIGIN OF PHRASES. The Incidents That Made Expressions Immortal. From the ChrMian Union. Dido, Queen of Tyre, about seven centu ries before Christ, after her husband had been put to death by her brother, fled from that city and established a colony on the north coast of Africa. Having bargained with tho natives for as much land as could bo surrounded with a bull’s hide, she cut the hide into narrow strips, tied them together, and claimed the land that could bo sur rounded with tlie line thus made. She was allowed to have her way, and now, when one plays a sharp trick, he is said to “cut a dido.” A tailor of Samarcand, Asia, who lived on a street leading to the burying ground, kept near his shop an earthen |>ot, in which he was accustomed to deposit a pebble whenever a body was carried to its final resting place. Finally tho tailor died; and seeing the shop deserted, a person inquired what had become of its former occupant. “He has gone to pot himself,” was the re ply by one of the deceased’s neighbors. During a battle between the Russians and Tartars a private soldier of the former cried out: “Captain, I’ve caught a Tartar.” “Bring him along,” said the officer. “He won’t let me,” was the response. Investiga tion proved that the captive had the captor by the arm and would not allow him to move. So “catching a Tartar” is applica ble to one who has t'ouud an antagonist too powerful for him. While lying on the gridiron over a slow fire, St. Lawrence —in whose honor the Escurial was buiit by Philip ll.—said to the Emperor, who was watching his sufferings: A ssatn.i rat; jam rerun ct tnanrlucu; which one translator, not quite literally, but ap preciatively of the grim humor character izing the original, rendered: This side enough is toasted, Then turn me. tyrant, and eat; And see whether raw or roasted 1 am the better meat. Hence, “Done to a turn.” The infamous Catherine de Medici had her favorite palace, the Louvre, supplied ' with acoustic tubes in such a way that what was uttered aloud in one room was heard by her in any other. Therefore, matters which it was considered advisable to keep from her knowledged were discussed in whispers, be cause the “walls had ears.” In ancient times the English were wont to cover their floors with rushes; and, when visitors of distinction were expected, fresh rushes were substituted for the old. The changes were not made if the visitors were ordinary people, who were regarded “not worth a rush;” later, “not worth a straw.” Formerly in London, when a small dealer bought bread of the baker, for every dozen loaves purchased he was given an ex tra loaf as his profit; from which circum stance “a baker’s dozen” signifies thirteen. Various origins have been assigned to the fihrase, but the above is the only one that is msed on a sure foundation. In a work, “Essays from the Desk of Poor Robert the Scribe,” published in IH]5, the author, C. Miner, tells the story of a boy who, by the offer of a liberal compensa tion, was induced to turn a grindstone for a man who desired to sharpen his ax. The promised compensation was never i>aid; and of one who disguisee his own selfish aims under and appearance of generosity or disinterestedness, it is remarked, “He has an ax to grind.” Skinny Men.
