a small sloop further down the wharf
witnessed the accident. They watched for
the body to come to the surface, but it did
not appear.

In the communication in Sunday’s issue,
signed “Bay Street,” relative to purchasing
the entire Barracks lot for a public build
ing site, there are two small errors which
might cause a misapprehension of the mean
ing of the writer of it. The errors occur in
the following paragraph: “Our Represen
tative in Congress would be in better con
dition to urge an increased appropriation
with such a refusal of the pro)>e, ty on tile
than he would tie if the price was an ojien
question, which might lead to a suspension
of a job to relieve the Treasury of a part
of its surplus.’’ The word “condition”
should be fiosition, and the “suspension”
should be suspicion.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1887.
TO CIRCLE THE CITY.
The New Street Car Line—What Presi
dent Smart Says About It.
An advertisement in the Morning News
giving notice that the new street railroad
with the long name, Savannah Street and
Rural Resort Railroad Company, would
apply for certain streets in addition to those
recently granted them by City Council, at
tracted considerable attention and favorable
comment yesterday. The route is one over
which a street railway is much needed. In
a conversation with 11. P. Smart, Esq., the
President anil (General Manager of the new
company, he stated that tho work of build
ing the road will commence as soon as the
iron arrives, probaMy in a week or two,
and he expected to have cars running over
the road by Jan. 1.
The route is from the Ocean SteaiiLship
Company's wharves up Indian street,
through West Broad, Liberty, Montgomery,
Seventh and Habersham streets to Bolton
streets, and from West Broad through Bay
to East Broad. Should the Council grant
the additional streets the road will la* ex
tends! through East Broad, President,
Randolph, Liberty, East Broad streets to
Boiton street. The line will not only afford
a much needed connection between the busi
ness part of the citv and the wharves, cot
ton presses and railroad depots, but it will
la* an important factor in building up tho
city. Mr. Smart says that the company
has ample capital to build and equip
the entire line as projected, mid to do it
quickly. All that is asked is that the city
authorities give the right to the streets, anil
the company will have all that part of the
railroad north of Anderson street finished
long licfore the limit fixed by the resolution
granting the privilege.
The building of the road will undobtedly
have a very marked effect on the future
growth of the city. The line will cover
five and a half miles of streets, and the esti
mated cost of the road, thoroughly
equipped, is SIOO,OOO.
THE RATE WAR OVER WITH.
Southern Freight Rates Readjusted
and to be Restored Nov. 1.
The Southern Railway and Steamship As
sociation met in New York last week tocon
sider the restoration and readjustment of
freight rates to tho Southeast, which, on ac
count of the recent action of the Clyde Line
Steamship Company coastwise, has been in
an extremely demoralized condition. In
the universal cutting of rates that grew out
of this demoralization, first-class rates that
were 65c. tier 100 pounds on the schedule
were cut down to 25c., and everything else
in proportion. The association agreed upon
a common basis of both freight and steam
ship passenger rates for the coming season,
enacting a schedule, which goes into effect
Nov. 1. Under it all minor differences were
adjusted, many of them only as the result of
a compromise, but concluding ultimately in
a restoration of rates to the former figures.
Rules and regulations to which each road
subscribed were adopted, under which mu
tual rates are pledged to be maintained and
only deviated from to meet fortuitous com
petition after the necessity or propriety
thereof shall first be communicated to the
association and passed upon by it. Arrange
ments were made for the submission of all
questions arising under the new schedule to
the general Eastern agents of the roads rep
resented in case the question is one regard
ing freight or passenger rates southward,
and to the representatives of the roads in
the South if the question relates to north
ward business.

Mr. J. A. Moroso, one of the oldest mem
bers of the Sews and Courier stall', and for
the past four years President, of the First
Wal'd Democratic Club, was assaulted in a
most brutal and cowardly manner Sunday
morning iu Nesbitt’s barber shop. The
cause of the assault was a denial by Mr.
Moroso, of a statement made at a meeting
of the Young Men’s Democratic Club of
Charleston, that eighty five votes were cast
for President , while ill fact there were only
seventy-two persons present. Mr. Moroso
did not then know at the time who was the
author of the statement, but he afterward
learned. Sunday morning, while lie was
getting in a Earlier chair, the jiarty, accom
panied by two companions, walked up and
began abusing him. Mr. Moroso attempted
to get out of the chair and was knocked
down He jumped up and smashed a chair
over his assailant ’s head, but was unable to
successfully resist three ol them Friends
came to his rescue and the police were sum
moned, but before they arrived Mr. Moroso’s
assailant had got out of the way. In a card
in the Sens and Courier , Mr. Moroso says,
after telling his story of the assault: “L am
not a bully, nor a tough. I was waylaid iu
a position where I was unable to defend
myself. 1 had not in any way insulted my
assailant, and was totally unprepared for
his assault on me. I am known to almost
evervliody in this comiiiiifiity, and 1 nm
confident that I have never intentionally
done a wrong to any man. I have, how
ever, been usaaulted before for doing my
duty. I shall invoke the law for mV pro
tection, as I have too much at stake to risk
a tight with bullies and blackguards.”

LAMPS AND CHINA
At Crockery House of Jas. S. Silva &
Son.
Gas is good, and electricity is good, but
for reading and sewing there is no light so
pleasant to the eye as that from a good oil
lamp. We have now in store a complete
line of Igimps of every description; our
Parlor Hanging and Stand Lamps are un
usually pretty, at reasonable prices.

A Lively Whirl.
It takes live methods to succeed in any
thing. Business doesn’t come to the mer
chant who waits. We don’t propose to
wait. For weeks we have been busy get
ting in a large stock of our usual fine grades
of tailor-made suits. Wo didn’t buy it to
keep, but to sell, and now we want to sell it.
You may not tie ready to tmy yet, yet
many arc buying their tall and winter suits
now. The early buyer has many advan
tages over the late* one—-full lines, large as
sortment and great variety in fabrics—yet
we aim to keep our liues full at all times.
In some cases it can’t be done, hence we sug
gest the advantage of early buyers. You
have no idea how well we can serve you;
variety in colors, fabrics and low prices are
our inducements. We assure perfect fits.
What more can you as!;f Come and go
over our stock with us; your eyes will tie
opened. Parents can clothe their boys with
us at a great saving. In a word, if we can’t
give you the finest assortment, the snuggest
fit and the greatest general satisfaction we
don't want your order.

A Big Crop of Weddings.
Reliable rumor predicts a greater than nsual
number of weddings during the fall and winter
season, an indication of prosperity surely. We
are in proper trim for just such occasions, and
would ask personal inspection of the multitudi
nous articles, ornamental and decorative, with
which our storerooms arc crowded. Wo point
with pleasure to our Immense array of Solid
Silver and Plated Ware suitable for wedding
presents, rare Vases, elegant Clocks, handsome
Statuary, and bric-a-brac generally. Our line
of bronze ornaments is brilliant in itself, and
throughout may be found a thousand valuable
novelties suitable and appropriate as souvenirs
and keepsakes. In Diamonds, Jewelry and
Watches, it is impossible in limited space to
speak intelligibly. Suffice it to say that not
even the famous “Tiffany's" can outrival us m
beauty and careful selection of our stock. Prices
have been made to suit the times, and we offer
our representative stock on its merits, and stake
our reputation on the result. Our engraving
department is carefully conducted, and all work
in this Loo is artistically executed. We are
always pleased to snow visitors through our
stock, even though they may not be ready to
buy, as wo feel that our establishment is one of
the ‘‘sights'’ of the city, and it is always "exhi
bition day" to the public. Respectfully.
