another great railway connection between this
port and the west, and also the rapidly increas
ing commerce of this port. ulremiy the largest
shipping point on the South Atlantic coast, its
commerce amounting to more than SIOO,(XK>,QoO
annually, make it imperatively necessary that
Savannah should have deeper water to the sea.
Whereas, Congress authorised a survey of
the Savannah river and harbor for a 28-foot
channel, and estimates for the same to be sub
mitted; ami,
Whcreas. The survey and estimates having
been made more than a year ago, and the chief
of engineers having reported at the last session
of congress that the 28-foot projected improve
ment was absolutely necessary, and ought to
be made, ami having asked an appropriation of
JfiOO.m-O for the same, and the local eugineer in
charge of Savannah harbor improvements hav
ing. in his estimates for the next fiscal year,
stated that $,’,500,000 could be profitably used,
therefore l>e u
Resolved. That the Hon. Thomas M. Norwood,
representative from the First congressional
district of Georgia, request at once a statement
from the present chief of engineers, whether he

ment is necessary; and also why. in his esti
mates for river and kartior improvements for

project appear.
Resolved, That the senators and representa
tives from Georgia, each and every one, be re
quested to use their utmost efforts to secure for
the Savannah river and harbor, in the next
river and harbor hill, an appropriation for the
said 2*-foot projected improvement, and request
the chief of engineers to state what amount he
thinks can be advantageously expended during

improvement.

be sent to each senator and representative from
Georgia.
The following resolutions offered by Mr.
J. F. Minis, were als > unanimously adopted:

warm weather for sanitary reasons, that the
chief architect be requested to fix a much
earlier (late for b eaking ground for said public

BAYING FOR LANE.
11l Fortune of a Colored Man Who Waa
Hia Own Banker.
Do you see that old negro sweeping the
asphalt pavement? asked a gentleman of a
Morning News reperter yesterday. “Well
that's old man Lane, and he used to have
plenty of money, and owned considerably
property, although he can neither read nor
write. He might have owned more, but he
did not believe in the security of banks,
a ;d carried his money about his person as
the safest place. One night, before
he had retired, a messenger went
to his house with a plausible
story of someone wanting to see Lane at a
neighboring livery stable, and the old man,
without suspecting a plot, put on his hat
and -tarted to go to t lie stable. As he passed
a lane someone sprang out. knocked Lane
down, and thrusting a hand in the inside
vest pocket of the victim, abstracted his
pocketbook containing $2,000, all the money
he* possessed."
“Did they ever recover any part of it?"
“Not a dollar, and the old man was not
able to identity his assailant. Ho has never
been able to fully retr.eve his lost fortune,
but is, as you see a common street sweeper.
The plot was well conceived and executed
by one or more who knew where Lone
carried his money. Hanging would have
been too good for the highway robl>ers if
they could have been discovered. They
were colored miscreants, too indolent to
work themselves, and they profited by the
industry and thrift of* one of their
own race. There aro scores of just such
highwaymen around the market and
the market basement, who do not
hesitate to rob at the most convenient op
portunity, but they do not get such hauls as
whem they struck down old man Lane."

TRADE AND TRAVEL BOOMING.
People Rushing to Florida, but They
Stop tier© to Buy Goods.
The rush of travel ti Florida, which be
gun last week, is increasing every day.
There were a large number of people in the
city yesterday en route to Jacksonville and
other points south. Quite a number are re
maining over here until they get advices
from Florida in regard to the fever. A
hotel man said that since the quarantine
has been raised travel has greatly increased
and business has taken on an activity that
is almost phenomenal.
' Our business has increased,’ 1 said a prom
inent Broughton street merchant. “Wo
have increased our force of clerks twenty
five within the past two or threo weeks.
Raising the auarantine has given rise to a
rush of trade tnat we did not look for.”
“Trade within the past week or two is
double what it was at the same time lost
season,” said another merchant. Raising
the quarantine has had a good effect on our
trade.”
A canvass among the retail merchants of
the citv showed that they have their hands
full of business. They tav that those people
who left Florida before an i during the epi
demic are on their wav back home now.
They are spending a good deal of money
here. The merchants are expecting yet a
larger trade and are making every prepara
tion for it. -***

THE STRANDING OF THE NACOO
OHEE NOT YET EXPLAINED.
Tho Story of tho Vsesol’a Voyage-In
a Gale from Off Tybeo Until She
Went Aehore on Cove Beach -A Sa
vannahian’s Experience on tho
Stranded Ship—How the Laasengers
Were Looked After.
M. H. Schaul of Appel & Schaul, arrived
from Nsw York yesterday morning. Mr.
Schaul wns one of tho passengers on the
Nacoochee when she wont ashore near
Beaufort, N. C. t two weeks ago. Ho
was seep yesterday by a Morning
News reporter, but could givo no explana
tion of how the vessel got ashore. He is of
the opinion that no one knew, or bad any
idea that the Nacoochee was taking a
course that would result os it did.
STRUCK A GALE OFF TYBEK.
“Wo struck a rough s*a immediately
after leaving Tv bee,” said Mr. Schaul, “and
the progress of tho vessel was very slow. It
was not long bef re we encountered the gale.
Tho situation, in more ways than one, was
squally, and the passengers began to got
alarmed. There were only two ladies ou
board and they soon went to their rooms.
All of tho passengers were more or less
frightened, but there was nothing to ue
done. The vessel tossed and rolled all
Friday night and was every minute strug
gling farther into tho teeth of the gale.
When Haturday morning dawned we were
in the hlght of a terrific sterm which lasted
all day and all night without a lull.
Saturday night va< a dreary one on the
Nacoochee. Nothing except tho b feting of
tin waves and tho wagging and cracking of
the vessel could bo beurd. The ship rolled
so that it was almost impossible to move
about, and most of the passengers remained
iu their rooms. Shortly after midnight a
heavy wave struck the vessel, bursting in
one of the stste room doors in which there
happened to lie a passenger, and l is cries
caused considerable alarm among the rest.
FIGHTING THE GALE.
All day Sunday we pitched and tossed,
trying to make some headway, and about 9
o’clock that night, when there was begin
ning to he a slight lull in the storm, there
was a sudden jolt, and jar and somebody
shouted: “We’reashore," and Capt. Cathe
rine did everything iu his power to got the
vessel off, but failed. The passenger* were
called up and were told that the ship was
aground, but that there was no cause for
alarm. We remained on board until the
next day, when Capt. Cathorino sent us
ashore in boats o:i Core Banks, called
by the natives Pilentorie Banks.
There we got a sailing craft, and at noon
wo started for MooreUead City, where we
wore to t:;ku the Atlantic Coast Lino to
New York.
TWO DAYS IN A SAIL BOAT.
“Tho distance was about thirty-five miles,
and wo were two days on tho trip, besides
changing boats th oe times. When we
reached New York Gen. Sorrel paid the ex
tra exp *nso of the trio.”
Mr. Sch iui was tho first of the passengers
that reported at the Ocean Stoa :;ship Com
pany’* office in New York, and ho said that
lie was plied wit i ail manner of questions
by tho officials as to what was the situation
during the gale, but ho was able to give
very little information other than his expe
rience during the storm. Ha did not s o
Capt. Catherine, except when ho called tho
passenger* together after the vessel struck,
a. id again w hen they were sent ashore.

THE PRESBYTERY’S MEETING
To Be Held This Week-Rev. J. W.
Kogan’s Resignation.
The Savannah Presbytery will meet at
Waycross this week. The delegates from
Savannah are Rev. R. Q. Way of the An
derson street Presbyterian church, and Mr.
L. B. Davis, representing the First church.
These are the only two < hurehe- in 8a
vault ah belonging to the Presbyter}’. A
meeting of the delegates for organization
was to have teen held at Waycrosa last
night.
One of the matters to come before the
presbytery is the resignation of Rev. J. W.
Rog&n, pastor of the First Presbyterian
churi'h in this city. Mr. Kogan s resigna
tion to the presbytery was read before the
congregation last Sunday, and the members
were aakod to concur in his withdrawal
from the pastorate. A meeting of the con
gregation will i> held immediately after
the morning service to-day to act in the
matter. Avery strong effort has boon
made to secure the withdrawal of the
resignation.
Mr. Kogan has been pastor of the First
church lor four years, and his congregation
is not willing that he shall leave now. Even
should the members of the congregation not
concur iu his resignation, it will still have
to go before the presbytery. It is believed,
however, that anything like a unanimous
request will result in Mr. Kogan’s remain

“Christmas comos but once a year,” is a
saying an old as the day it commemorates,
and gift-giving is one of its inseparable
constituents. Mon and women may resolve,
year after year, that they will not continue
the custom, and thus put money in their
purse, but under the mellowing influence of
the approaching holiday, with the remem
brances of the Christinas tree arid the
prudent stocking of their childhood, they
banish selfish considerations and enter into
the gift-giving as of yore. From the time
tho Bethleheniite ;tnr guided Herod's spies
to tho manger, where tho sight of the in
fant, low-lying with tho boasts of the
stable, warmed their hearts toward tho
Christ child until they opened their stores
of gold and precious Ointments and laid
them at his feet, until now, though nearly
2. (XX) centuries i ave elapsed, tho mutations
< f time and circumstance have not broken
the custom.
MUCH TO HE HAD TOR LITTLE.
This deep growing sentiment has kindled
a rivalry among ingenious artisans who,
year after year, invent something new to
please tho eye of the young, the middle
aged and the old, and so*varied are the arti
cles t 1 at there ar * :h e of such small cod
ihat the poorest and the most humble can
find something for the dwarfed Cnristmas
tree, or the rent stocking in tho cabin, and
of such elaborate design as will match the
most costly bric-a-brac of the rich man’s
house, and ho who narrowly observes, will
find that the child of penury enjoys the
modest gift as much as tho favored child of
wealth does his more elegant and costly
gift. If it were not for this happy adjust
ment to surroundings, Christmas would not
outlive another century.
Already tho shopkeepers of Savannah have
laid ia their holiday wares, and they are
now on exhibition. The stocks are fully as
large, and possibly larger thau a year ago.
CHRISTMAS BUYING BEGUN.
All* yesterday crowds of men, women
and children, white and colored, were
e.agerly inspecting the show-windows where
duplicates are on exhibition, and the funny
automatic toys, some of which did service
last year, draw crowds who laugh at the
ludicrous antic* of the inebriate who can
not fit.d the keyhole, the cobler and his
mirth provoking apprentice, the German
drill master anl his African volunteer, the
old man trying to catch the canary, and the
Teutonic nimrod halted by a stuffed lynx
which two little urchins hidden behind a
wool-pile thrust up just far enough to
strike terror t<> the heart of the amateur
sportsman, and other amusing automatic
inventions calculated to draw crowds who
linger long, and examine the general holi
day stock.
A BIG HOLIDAY' TRADE.
A largo holiday trade is expected this
season by dealers, but they say t iat the ex
perience of p'sst years is likely to be re
peated this season. The people do not
make up their mind what they will buy
until the las two or three days before
Christina > and then it is a rush, and often
customers are disappointed to find that by
delaying, something that they had nearly
made up their mind earlier to buy is no
longer in the market wheu they are ready
to purchase.
Thera aro very fow really new designs in
holiday g ods this season. In toilet, mani
cure, and needle sets everything sennas to
run to plush and satin, with celluloid and
zylonite finish for the fittings, the amber
imitation being much prettier than p ain
white. Theu there are fltti gs of oxydized
silver finish, very massive, but rather dark
to be attractive. An added feature of the
toilet sets this season is a concealed music
box winch to the uninitiate i 13 quite a sur
prise as it is artfully hidden away.
ALL SORTS OF THINGS FOR GIFTS.
In vases, odor bottles and china goods
there aro some very pretty designs this
year, in Rembrandt and other imitations,
and hand painting and bead work on vases
and odor sets are pretty, and the prices are
reasonable. There are new designs in cut
glass bottles, and new designs in the smaller
perfumery battles. The sachet envelope
this year is an innovation, comes in all
the popular odor.-, and will be very apt to
find favor with the ladies.
Flush and satin have taken a hold upon
house-furnishing goods, and are likely to
prove more ornamental than useful.
In toys, tin- automatic toy and the little red
wagon hold their own, and the little “Jack in
the box’’ of fifty years ag \ that first fright
ened, and then delighted tho older ones in
their childhood days, is not likely ever to tm
relegated to the roar. The walking turtle,
the automatic top, and carriage, and all
the mechanical toys of past years, and
other new designs, with tho building block s
and puzzle games, will find a ready demand.
AT THE BOOK STORES.
At the book stores tho literature and the
pictures are all tolling the same old and
many new an i pretty Christmas storie .
Tho rapid strides in art are s -on more in the
beautiful colored pictures which deal with
the Christmas tide, and American art
largely predominates, and Americanfau
thors have displaced the Christmas reaaing
that, used to come almost wholly from
English and Gorman pons.
It would be to > much of a task to em
brace in a newspaper article a list of all the
articles entertaining and instructive, useful
and ornamental, which have foil ,and their
way onto tho sin*! ves of the shop dealers. One
thing is certain, the latter expect, and with
reason, that the hearts of all will be optMi
during the holiday season, that gifts will be
exchanged with as llboal a hand as in past
years, and their orders have been given to
the commercial tourist with a little more
latitude than for two or three years past.
The confectionors and bakers are busy
fashiouing cake; and confections in designs
appropriate to the seas n. The caterers t >
tho appetite have laid in large supplies of
holiday goods. Kverv preparation is being
made for a lively Christmas season.
6TYLKS IN CHRISTMAS CARDS.
Pretty Books and Water Color
Sketches the Rage This Season.
Sending Chrism&s cards is a custom that
will never fall into decay. The holiday
literature this year is more attractive than
it has ever boon. The red-fringed Christ
mas card has almost entirely given
way to the beautiful Chr.stmas book.
Savannah art dealers Imvo finer stocks of
Christmas ranis this year than have ever
been seen bcf< re, and tho show windows
aro filled with thorn. A giauce through the
art department of the Luddeu A Hates
Music House, with its piles of Christnns
literature, shows whac a change has
taken plaiMi in tho fashion of Christinas
cards in tho past few years. The prices aro
about the same this year as last, but tho
variety to choose from is much greater.
There is an ctT r., at art in evoryting, from
the plain penny card up to the beautiful
hand-painted satin and silk bound volume of
water col r sketches. Calendars are very
stylish for Christmas cards this year.
Water color sketches outer largely into the
mak'* up of many of the higher
priced cards. Every thing is novel.
The Ludden & H ire-; art hmso and Davis
Bros, aro probably the largest dealers in
Christmas cards in Savannah, and their
counters ami show windows arc all filled
with them. The buying of cards has just
begun, and tho next two weeks the mails
will l>o flooded with moro beautiful things
than they carry during all the rest of the
year.

GUYTON GLEANINGS.
The New Lodgo of K. of P.-Getting
Ready for the Christmas Carnival.
Tuesday night promises to be a tala one
at Guyton. A Kulghtsof Pythias lodge is
to be organized with thirty-five charter
members, composed of the folding citizens
of the town. Grand Chancellor Hunnicutt of
Atlanta writes that he will be present, if
po-sible, but if he should be unable to be
present. District Deputy Gran l Chancellor
William T. Leopold will organize the lodge
and install the officers. A banquet will be
first served in G'ubbedge’a hall, followed by
the lodge ceremonies, after which
a hop will be g ven at the
Lanier hotel. Fifty knights from this city,
thirty-five in uniform, principally from
DuGuesclin division, accompanied by the
regimental band, will go up to Guyton.
Round trip rates of $1 i ave been secured
from the Central, tickets to be purchased in
this city by the committee of the visiting
knights.
The committeo oil the Christmas carnival
met at Guyton Inst night, and a decided in
terest was manifested. The details were
discussed for the approaching fete, which
promises to be a great Kuoce-s. E. E. Bar
clay, chairman of the costumes committee,
was in the city yesterday in the interest of
tho carnival.
THE CLAIMS EXAMINATION.
To Bogin in Fp.vannah To-morrow-
Over $200,000 Involved.
W. C. Endicott, Jr., a son of Secretary
of War Endicott, of the department of
justice at Washington, is here acting in be
half of the government in tho examination
of witnesses as to the claims pending before
the court of claims in cases rejected bv the
southern claims commission. The claims,
aggregating about $200,000, are for supplies
taken by tue federal soldiers during Sher
man’s occupancy of this part of Georgia.
The examination will begin Tuesday and
will probably occupy the entire week.
About o 16-half of the claimants are repre
sented by Isaac Beckett, Esq., of this city.
Their Business Booming
Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at Lippman Bros.
Drug Store as their giving away to their
customers of ho many free trial bottles of
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis. Croups and nil throat
and lung diseases quickly cured. You can
test it before buying by getting a trial bottle
free, large size sl. Every bottle warranted.
THE KNABB PIANO.
An Incident During Concert Week.
Montreal “ Witnes
Carl Faelten, of the New Eagland Con
servatory of Music, Boston, chose a Knabe
concert grand for his use at Queen’s hall and
one for the Windsor hotel. The Plano ex
pressmen unfortunately dropped the Pi ano
in the hall, the instrument falling several
feet; the weight of the heavy iron plate,
nearly a ton, smashed the magnificent case
ii several places, splintering up the finely
built and seasoned natural rosewood. The
Piano was afterward placed on the platform
and used at both concerts, Hallow e’en and
Valda, without even further tuning. The
same Piano was Saturday expressed to
Kingston for the Valda concert there, and
will be used at all the concerts in
Canada without further tuning, before
it filially is returned for repair of the case.
The fact is a Kuabe Piano can scarcely ever
be destroyed or grow old. Those who were
fortunate enough to be present at the mar
velous musical renditions by tbe Chevalier
do Kontski, at the Valda concert, can tes
tify to the success of tho instrument. Does
the public realize that all the Knabe Pianos
are built as perfectly as the grand, and that
they are therefore, all things considered,
tho cheapest Piano in the end to buy. The
price of the Knabe Piano should be no ob
stacle in the way, if durability, tone and
touch are to count for anything, and yet
the price is reasonable. Twenty superb
Knabe Pianos in Square, Upright and Par
lor Grand cases. Call and seo them.

Chickering & Sons First to Make
Seven Octavo Grand Pianos in
America.
The first Grand piano-forte of seven oc
taves made in America was manufactured
by Chickering & Sons, in the year 1546, for
Mr. Arthur T. Jones of New York. The
musical critics of that day stated that this
Grand possessed an equally balanced quality
throughout the scale; its toue was sweet,
yet brilliant, and in quality was something
between the celebrated French and Ger
mau instrurneu *>; the touch was light and
springy to tbe fingers, admitting the nicest
and most delicate shades of tone. It com
manded considerable attention from musi
cians at tbe time. —American Art Journal.

A Conservatory of American Music in
Japan -Shipment of Baltimore Pianos
to the Japanese Government.
From the Baltimore Gazette.
The shipment of a large consignment of
Baltimore Pianos from this city to tho
Japanese government at Tokio, Japan,
marks an event in that important industry
in the United States and an epoch in the
musical education of the Japanese people.
These are the first instruments ever pur
chased bv the Japanese government, aud it
is gratifying to be able to record the fact
that in selecting the Pianos from all the
American firms engaged in tlieir manufact
ure, that tho merits of the K'iabe instru
ments should have had such a signal recog
nition os to induce the Japanese commis
sioner in Now York to make his purchases
from Messrs. Wm. Kuabe ft Cos., the well- j
known Baltimore firm. Eleven Pianos i
were forwarded—ten Squares aid one Up
right—via the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
to California, going thence by steamer, the
cases being marked “H. E. Tunaka Fuji
maro, Educational Department, Tokio,
Japan.” They are designed for u-e in the
public schools of that country, and it is ex
pected that with the growth of the musical
taste and culture of the Japanese people in
tliis respect that other and larger shipments
will soon be made, aud the establishment of
agencies for the sale of American Pianos is
regarded as merely a question of time.

Chlckerlng Pianos in Big Demand.
I was in Chickeriug & Sons warerooms
this week, and in the course of an inter
view with Mr. C. Frank Chickermg I asked
him if they found business good at present.
He replied by asking me to look at their
stock in tho warerooms, which, he said,
looked as if a cyclone bad struck them; so
large had been the retail trade that it had
almost cleaned out their entire itock in the
last few weeks.
Mr. Chickering reports their wholesale
trade as excellent.— The Music Trade .
Pianos for the Governor General of
Canada.
The Ottawa Daily Citizen says: “The
musical guests of Riueau Hall this winter
wil probably not be without instruments to
aid their vocal or test their instrumental
powers. Already their excellencies have
ordered one Grand Knabe Piano and one
Upright Grand by the same maker. Both
are splendid specimens of the manufact
urer’s work. The instrument will bo seut
to Rideau Hall to-day. The cost of tho two
instruments, which are of the finest make,
will bo $1,800.”
