the Depot—The Preparations at the
Camp- A Bis V/eek lor the Cadets.
The Cadet’s camp at Tybee is about ready
for oecupaucv. The finishing touches will
be added to-day. The commissary stores
were sent dowu yestordav. The artillery
piece for firing the morning and evening
guns is in camp aud about all that remains
nowis for the company to take possession.
The company has been ordered to assem
ble at the Regimental armory at 5:30
o’clock to-morrow morning in fatigue uni
form (bine cap with glaze), knapsack w ith
leggms inside and overcoat rolled on top,
for march to the Savannah and Tybee
depot, where a special tram will be ready
for Tybee at 6 o’clock.
Everything was in a bustle at the com
pany’s quarters last night. The men had
tbmr last preparatory drill F. iday night
and were packiar up and getting in shape
for to-morrow morning's march. Lieut.
O. M, Carter will go dowu with the compa
ny and Capt. Koaau of the Macon Hussars

the week. The greater part of to-morrow
will be occupied in getting the camp in
ahane, but everything will be ready
for the dress parade which will
take place at 6 o’clock in
the afternoon. The Regimental band will
be at every parade. Sergt. Rutzler, who
Jes had charge of laying out the cmip and
erecting the tents, is on duty now. Com
missary Sergeant Sutcliffe is also in camp,
getting his department in shape, and will
have breakfast rosdy for the company ou its
arrival at Tybee. It Is impossible yet to tell
just how many men will go into camp, as
a number are yet unable to say whether
they can leave the city. Quite a number
who have been uuable to secure leave of
absence from business all of the week will
go into camp part of the time, or as long as
they are abis to get away.
The oamp is locsted 200 yards from the
heach and just north of the main line of the
railroad before it reaches the Y. The
oamp occupies a space about 340 feet long
by & foet wide. Running through the
middle of this is Company street, a
thoroughfare forty feet wide, on which the
tents will face, thirteen on either
aide. At the northern end will tie
►wo tents for officers a .and the bugler’s te .t.
A short distance from the western
side of tho camp is the mess hall, a shell 75
feet long aid 10 feet wide, with a traine
kitchen uear by. At the entrance to the
camp, at the southern end of Company
street, is the guards’ quarters, with the
flag pole and a piece of artillery in the rear.
A line of sentries will be stationed about
the camp at all tunes, their beat baiug
fifteen feet from the tents.
The camp has not been named yet. That
honor remains for Capt. brunch, who will
perform the christening to-morrow.
TOO EAGER FOR WEALTH.
A Clever Younff Thief In Jail for Steal
ing- Gold Watches.
Justice Naugbtiu committed James Ren
nett, a young man of 18, to jail yesterday
for stealing a lady’s gold watch from
Desbonillons’ jewelry store ou July 2, and
for stealing W. R. Lea ken's gold watch on
July 4, and last night Justice Naughtiu
committed Louis Slides, a young man of
IS, whom Bennett implicates iu the larceny,
but Slides strenuously denies that he is
more than au acquaintance of Bennett.
Li T tie watch taken from Dos bouillons’ store
had been left there for repairs, and when it
was missed an inquiry was made at Muhl
berg’s pawnshop, and Mr. Muhlberg said he
had but a short time before taken in a
lady’s gold watch upon which he had
loaned $5. The watch was pruduoed aud
identifiwi as the one stolen. The party
pawning it had taken a receipt in the name
of J. France, under which name, ouly with
a different initial he had pawned a coat.
On July 4 a young man, whom Mr. Mulh
berg identified as James Bennett, brought
Mr. Lea ken’s watch to be pawned, and
when Mr. Muhlberg got it in his possession
he denounced t r e party bringing it as a
thief and refused to lend anything on it,
and ttie young man fled out of the pawn,
shop. Mr. Muhlberg then hunted up De
tective \X etherlioru ami gave him the
watch, with a description of the boy. and
on Friday night Bennett was arrested by
the detective, the officer having turned the
watch over to Mr. ljeaken on the day it
■was recovered, and before that gentleman
had missed it. Ou Friday Mr. Muhlberg
said ho met young Beuuett on the street,
but Bennett ran off.
A Morning JSkws reporter had an inter
view with the young man yesterday in
Justice Nauglitin’s office, and the prisoner
accused a young man by the name of
Emery of taking the watch, but later on he
accused young Sholes, and relieved Emery
of suspicion. The conflicting st Ties go far
to leave the impression that the denial of
Sholes is made m good faith. Sholes w ill
doubtless be bonded out to-day, and Ben
nett on to-morrow. The latter is a reck
less young niau, and has been In trouble
before, having served nine months iu prison
in Florida.

DRY GOODS IN A BLAZE.
J. P. Germaine Damaged ss,ooo—The
Loss Fully Insured.
Fire broke out in J. P. Germaine’s dry
goods store, No. 132 Broughton street, at 10
o’clock la~t night and damaged the build
ing and stock about #5,000. Mr. Germaine
j closed the store a few minutes before 10
o'clock and started for his borne at Bull
and Perry streets. He had just passed Hull
street when the alarm sounded.
The fire started in the rear part of the
I store behind the counter ad apparently
among a lot of goods piled an the shelves.
It had hardly gotten under headway
when the firemen Lad a stream of water
playing in - o the building, and lu a few
minutes the fire was out. It burned fiercely,
though, from 'he time it started, and the
shelves, counters and ceiling we e iu flames
w hen the firemen broke the do irs open.
The smoke poured out in 'lack volumes
and filled the upper floors of the building
and of the adjoining buildings.
The stock in the rear part of the store
was badly burned, but that in the front
part is damaged principally by water
aud smoke. The loss is fully
coveaed, howeve-, by inurance. The
stock is estimated at $12,000, on which
there was JD.OOO insurance, $2,500 in the
Norwich Union, represented by John Sulli
van & Cos.; $1,500 in the London and Lan
ca-hire, represented l.y Maj. J. T. Stewart;
SI,OOO in the Savannah Fire and Marine,
represented by Haines Sc Daniel, and the
re -t in Footman’s agoi cy.
The building is owned by the estate of
Lovell and by Mrs. O. IV. Jackson. The
damage to the building is comparatively
light and is fully covered by insurance.
Mr. Germaine said’tbat he could not ac
count for the fire in anyway. He closed
the store himself not more than fifteen or
twenty minutes before the fire broke out
and he left no light or anything from which
the tire could start.
The fire created great excitement for
awhile. In five minutes after the alarm
was s-unded from box No. 14, Broughto i
street, between Bull and \V hitakor streets,
was packed with people. The firemen were
impeded by the crowd, but they worked
rapidly and in a short time had the fire
under control and out.
SECOND STREET'S FIRE.
Dr. Charles Baczman’e Residence Con
siderably Damaged.
An alarm was turned iu a few minutes
before 1 o’clock this morning from box No.
41, at Drayton and New Houston streets.
The fire was located in a one-story
frame dwelling on Second street
near Abercorn, owned and occupied by
Dr. Charles Buckman. There was no one
iu the house when the fire broke out. Dr.
Backman left a few days ago for New York
and his wife is in the country. The fire
started in a front room. Its origin is not
known. Mr. Collins, who lives near bv,
said that he heard a noise just before the
alarm sounded us if from tli explosion of
a lamp It was shortly followed by the
cry of fire. Nearly fifteen minutes were
spent iu getting into the house and
at the fire. At 1:80 o’clock the
firemen bad the fire under
Control, but not before the building and
furniture were a good deal damaged. The
amount of the loss is not kupwn. The
building and its contents were approxi
mated at about $4,500, on which there was
about $2,000 insurance.
TO KEEP SAPKLO OPEN.
A Movement Being Put on Foot With
That View.
Health Officer Brunner is taking a de
cided interest in trying to get the order
rescinded for the closing of the Hapelo
quarantine station on Oct. 1, believing that
the sanitation of the South Atlantic coast
requires that the station should be kept
open the entire year. He said last night
that this much hoped-for result
mav he reached as it was in
1883, when a like order was issued
owing to a lack of appropriations. Dr.
Brunner was then in charge of Sapelo, and
the stations were ke, t open c ut of the fund
of SIOO,OOO, at the disposal of the President,
for the prevention of the spread of epi
demic diseases. ft was turned over by ttie
Secretary of tho Treasury to tho marine
hospital service and the government quar
antine stations were kept open.
Dr. Brunner lias written a letter to Sur
geon General Hamilton setting forth the
importance of having the order rescinded
to suspend the stations after Oct. 1. Dr.
Brunner also addressed letters on Friday to
the city registrar of Cnarlestou and the
h-alth officers of Brunswick, Darien and
Fernanduia urging them to have their city
councils unite in a memorial asking that
Sapelo station ho kept open, and assuring
them that the city council of Savannah w ill
act in the matter.
Hon. K. E. Lester, member of congress
from this district, has assured Dr. Brunner
that he wiH co-oparate iu the effort to have
tho order rescinded, and the member of
congress from the Charleston and Feruan
dina districts will bo urged to aid in the
work necessary to have the station Kept
open during the entire year.
THE DIFFERENCE IN GRADING.
Cotton Men’s Views On tha Augusta
Communication.
Supt. Merrihew received a communica

yesterday in relation to the difference in
the grading between spot cotton and future
contracts on the New York market No
action has been taken on tho communica

nothing serious in the communication, as it
is pretty well understood by the trade, and

tion by reason of undergrading the Now

To Bo Continued.
Many of our patrons have been surpria - d
to find that many of the pianos and organs
offered in our fifth annual clearance sale
were really second-hand. Expecting to see
badly worn instruments, they had forgot
ten that many pianos had been in use ouly
a mouth or two and, having been given a
thorough renovation, were pructically as
good as new.
It is well known that for new instruments
we have one price only, but if you wish a
baryain just make a cash offer for some
thing on our second-hand clearance list.
This sale is to be continued a week or two
longer, but you will do well to call at once.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 14, 1889.
OVER $40,000 SUBSCRIBED.
South Bound Railroad Subscriptions
Coming- In.
President Herman Myers of the South
Bound Railroad Company expressed himself
yesterday as encouraged with the success of
the partial canvass to the stock of the rail
road made the past week in Savannah. He
had a list of subscriptions taken which
amounted in round numbers to about
$40,000, and not half of those
whom the canvassing committee expect to
call upon the present week have been Keen.
The canvass is expected to close this
week, and Mr. My< rs expressed a confidence
that the amount of stock required of Sa
vannah will be raised. He says that quite
a number subscribed liberally, others very
small amounts, and he cited an incident
where tne veteran canvasser, Joseph Hull,
met an excuse with a stunniug proposition,
which, it is needless to say, was not ac
cepted.
Mr. Hull was talking fo a gentleman,and
trying to get him to put down a good nzod
'Ubscriotion, when the gentleir.au excus-d
hlmseif by saying that he had to pay SOOO
quarterly tax to the city, which made him
feel unable to subscribe any corsiderade
amount to the railway enterprise. Mr.
Hull was equal to the emergency and pro
posed to pay the taxes for the gentleman
and pay 5 per cent, interest on the value of
iis property if he would turn it over to
him.
All the rights of way for the road, Mr.
Myers says, have been secured from Colum
bia, H. C., to Bisters’ ferry, on the Savan
nah river, and Capt. J. G. Clarke is now
soliciting rights of way and donations in
Effingham county. Ho is working south
ward from .Sisters' ferry to Savannah. The
people of Springfield, Mr. Myers is in
formed, are making strenuous efforts to got
the south bound to come by the way of
Springfield, and they will hold a meeting
on Wednesday, to do what they can to se
cure it.
An application for a charter of the con
struction company is pending in the supe
rior court, and it is believed that in due
course of legal publication the charter will
tie granted. Col. Mike Brown, who has
been active in working up an interest in
the South Bound, is expected to return to
Savannah this week to aid in the canvass.
EFFINGHAM WANTS IT.
The People of Springfield Anxious for
the South Bound.
We see that a meeting is called of the
citizens of Effingham county, to be held at
Springfield ou July 17, to secure the right
of way for the South Bound road. We are
anxious to have tho road, but we believe it
ought to come through Springfield. We
hope that many of the leadiug men in
terested iu the road will be here on July 17.
We thmk wo can show them that it will be
to their interest for the road to come here.
We are sure it would be a great
benefit to our county. We have one of the
best natural locations for a town that can
be found in Georgia, and if these railroad
rentlemen will coine here and see the place
they will agree with us. If we can get a
road here it will open up a fine field for in
vestment. Let the road come by here aud
Savanuuh will do more for the road aud our
county will do all it can.

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
The Plant In Bine Condition—Tho Sea
son’s Prospects.
The average of the agricultural bureau’s
report on the condition of the cotton orop
is 87 6-10 for June, and for the previous
month 86 2-10, while last year it was 80 7-10,
showing a decided improvement this year
over last thus far in the season. *
Last week the weather was favorable for
the growing cotton in this part of the belt,
and from advices further south it is learned
ti.&t the rains were not us extensive or as
steady as they were on the Atlantic coast.
In consequence there was no damage sus
tained by the crop. On the contrary
it was benefitteii by the copious
showers, so that advices ' now coming in
from planters report the crops in good
condition. This condition of affaire verifies
an old saying that a dry May and a wet
Juno augurs well for soleudid crops in the
fall.
It is a well-known fact, however, that the
cotton crop is fuilv two weeks late. This
was caused by tho very cool weather in the
spring and the May drought, which necessi
tated replanting iu some places. The plant
from the late planting, it is said, Is coming
up spleudidly, and tue early planting is
fruiting rapidly. There are reports of con
siderable grass, but this is not to any ex
tent.
The reports from the sea island districts
in Georgia aud Florida are uniformly
favorable. Like uplands, however, the sea
island crop is also late, as almost the same
conditions governed its growth. Should
tho weather continue favorable
from now on, a heavy crop
will be the result both in staple, cleanness
aud iu au ample yield. The crop has, how
ever, got to weather three of its worst
months when considerable heat is experi
enced, aud storms as well as the inevitable
caterpillar.
Cotton should command at the opening
of the season a good average price, as there
is little of the old crop in sight. This is
particularly a healthy sign, inasmuch as
there was a large crop produced last year,
showing that the needs of the world keep
pace with the increased production.
The advices from rice show that crop to
be iu splendid condition.

IN ANT) ABOUT THE CITY
THE WEIS3EIN CASE.
The Lawyers Have a Lengthy Argu
ment Over It.
Argument iu the Wei-bein case was con
tinued in the superior court yesterday, Col.
William Garrard, for C.aflin & Cos. ad
Jaffrey A Cos., speaking from 9 o'clock until
12:30 o’clock p. m.. and Charles N. West,
Esq., for the general creditors. argued
against granting the motion f >ranew trial,
his argu cent beginning at 12:30 o’clock and
closing at 2:30, after which the court con
tinued the case until Saturday. Samuel 3.
Adams, Esq., aud Hon. 11. E. Lester, forthe
general creditors, will appose the motion f.,r
anew trial, and Col. William Garrard will
then sum up for the petitioners.
The case is rather complicated, and the
present litigation grew out of the following
facts: David Weisbein, before his sudden
di-appearance from this city, was large.y
involved for dry goods purchased on time,
and ou the eve of his flight gave a Mr.
Leichteustein a power of attorney. When
A\ eisbein left the city, Leichteustein turned
over the common stock of the store to h.
B. Claflin & Cos. and Jaffrey Sc Cos., to sat
isfy tneir claims, and the stock was re
moved.
The Jersey Continental Works, original
complainants to the bill, and other general
creditors who had attached the \\ eisbeiu
stock, also garnished the stock removed by
Claflin Sc Cos. and Jaffrey & Cos. The two
latter firms took out a writ of replevin, and
gave a replevin bond. Tne general
creditors obtained a verdict aud decree in
the superir court against Claflin & Cos. and
Jaffrey Sc Cos., for a sum in the aggregate
amounting to $21,700, having the effect of
making defendants share pro rata with the
general creditors.
It is this verdict and decree that the de
fendants seek to set aside by anew trial. A
nuinbir of exceptions were taken ou the
trial of the case at the last term of the
court, and if anew trial is denied the case
will probably be taken to the supreme
court on a writ of error.

A $70,000 Building to be Erected on
Its Site.
Another old landmark on the Bay is being
torn down to give place to a $70,000 build
ing to be occupied by the Savannah Gro
cery Company, Jan. 1. It is the old build
ing known as “B Iton’s Range," No. 134
Bay’ street, east of the Ferst building, and
now occupied as the office of the Wilcox
& Gibbs Guano Company.
Tne binding is one of the oldest in tho
city, fronting on river street, and tbe first
wharf in Savannah, and built by John and
R 1<- rt Bolton between the years 1793 and
!T!)5. It is three stories high and is built
of a miscellaneous collection of rock ballast,
no two rocks alike, the window openings
lieiug finished with imported brics. The
Boltons were in their duy the largest gen
eral commission merchants in thi3 country,
extensive indigo planters, aud owned a
large number of slaves.
Afte ward the building was occupied by
John W. Long, a famous wine merchant,
who i said to have imported more Madeira
aud sherry wines than all tile other wine
importers in the country. The n?xt to
occupy thebuildiug was Robert Habersham,
an extensive rice planter, rice factor and
shipping merchant. In 1867 the property
was bought by Daniel H. Wilcox for Wil
cox, Gibbs & Cos., who have "occupied the
building and wharves for their gusn> busi
tie-s until ttje present time. Mr. Wilcox
himself represents a firm as old as the build
ing itself, as the firm to which he succeeded
was established by his uncle 100 years
ago.
The contract for the new building, Mr.
Wilcox said, will be let at once, and the
specifications and drawings will be sub
mitted to contractors to-morrow. The new
building is to rise from River street to the
bight of six stories and is to be of same stylo
as the Ferst building, pressed brick with
stone tiuimings, the entire masonry to be
laid in cemeat. The structure is to be 70
feet front, extending back 155 feet, leaving
a w harfage,of 3d feet w hich is to be inclosed
and put under roof. Strong iron girders
will cross River street upon which
girders the connection will be made with
the present budding north of River street,
which Is to be thrown into one building
and raised to the hight of six stories. The
new building is to be provided with eleva
tors driven by gas engines, and for purposes
for whiclf it is entonded the building will
have advantages not possessed by any simi
lar building in the city, as it will have a
wide approach on the Bay street front for
trucks, one of the deepest wharves iu the
city, where vessels may moor at low tide, aud
the double railroad track of the River street
extension of the Central railraod will pass
through the building. The Centralis now
pushing its road eastward on River street,
with the eastern terminus to be at the foot
of Bull street
®The Savannah Grocery Company, in
corporated in the superior court last week
with a paid up capital of $150,000, with the
privilege of increasing to #1,000,000, will
occupy the ne-v building Jan. 1. Wilcox
& Gibbs Guano Company will reserve about
an eight foot space on the west for their
office.
THE MARKET IN BAD SHAPE.
The Building Greatly In Need of Bet
ter Sanitary Arrangements.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens’
Sanitary Association, in his weekly report
of food produce in the market during the
week ending last night, reports the average
quality as follows: Dressed beof, dressed
mutton, dressed poultry, live fowls, smoked
sausage, meat puddings, green vegetables,
dri"d vegetables, average fair; pickled beef,
crabs, shrimp, dams and fresh fruit, aver
agegood; dressed pork, fresh fish, fresh
sausage aud corned beef, average iufeiror.
The inspector reports that public com
plaint lias become soclamorous in reference
to the unsanitary condition of the market
and its surroundings, and the long delay to
remedy it, that he has been instructed by
the committee on public health of the asso
ciation sto bring the matter officially
directly to the attention of the mayor as
chairman of the board of sanitary commis
sioners, with the hope that the city council
may be induced to provide the market
committee with means to remedy the
unsanitary condition.
Complaints are made daily to the inspec
tor by stall rent rs and visitors to the mar
ket of offensive odors fron tho cesspools
on the first floor of the market tr -use; the
broken and filthy conditions of the pave
ments in the vaults used as colored cook
-hops in tho basement, and the extremely
offensive odors from some of the old meat
boxes iu the vault; the keeping of live fowls
in coops iu the vaults during the hot
weather; the absence of water closets and
the filthy substitutes for these conveniences.
He reported also that complaints are in
creasing in reference to the condition of the
streets around Market square, particularly
St. Julian street.on the west of the market,
where accumulations of offensive matter
aud foul-smelling mud collect in the hol
lows of the street and remain too long un
der the action of the sun before they are re
moved.
The inspector has been instrucled to
bring to the attention of the Sanitary Com
mission the condition of the Baltimore
steamship wharves. Complaints have coine
to the inspector of offensive odors ema
nating from under these wharves, and he
report- that he made an iuspection of the
wharves and fund them in a dangerously
unsanitary condition. The door being de
cayed and broken, a large quantity of
waste grain has fallen through the openings,
and has collected beneath the Wharves,
where it is rotting aud mixing with trash
and tnu<i, and sends forth an odor as offen
sive as bilge water.
Iu reference to drainage the inspector re
ported that the county commissioners have,
during the past week,dug a very important
ditch just above the junction of the Au
gusta and Louisville roads and which is of
inestimable sanitary benefit to that section
of the country. The ditch drains thor
oughly a chain of ponds and old brick yard
excavations and the Central railroad bur
row pits ou the south side of its road bed.
The digging of this ditch has rendered it
au easy and economical matter for the rail
road company to drain the pits aud low
places on the opposite of its road bod by
opening a similar ditch on that side and
constructing a culvert to connect it with
the opposite ditch. He also reported the
Springfield plantation low lands iu as good
conditions as such lands dependent upon
open drains could be expected to be in alter
the receut heavy rainfall. He also reported
that the convict gang was now engaged
draining the ponds to the southeast of the
city.
The inspector further reported that on
last Tuesday he saw a number of white boys,
aged from 1U to 14, swimming in the Bilbo
canal between the shell road and the rail
way track of the Standard Oil Works,
Selling Out.
Yes, that is Just what 1 am doing. I have no
intention of leaving Savannah, but I want to see
the goods now in my store at my new quarters,
under the Screven house, Bull street, sold, so
as to open out an entirely new stock of Jewelry
for the fall season.
You can Hud anything in mv line now in
stock, an i I will offer you such low prices that
to fail to take advantage of this opportunity is
to stand m your own light. Come and be con
vinced. M. Sternbebo.
Every day'fresh discoveries are made of
some choked sewer pipe, some clogged
dr un. These evils cannot readily be over
come in our imperfect system of drainage,
but their dire consequence i can be guarded
ngnmst by taking “Johnson’s Chill aud
Fever Tonic.” It is a positive cure for all
fevers and is an unfailing appetizer. Price
50 cents.

GUYTON’S WOULD-BE SUICIDE.
Jacob Snider Expected to Recover
from too Much Laudanum.
Late advices from Guyton last night were
to the effect that Jacob J. Snider, the well
known carpenter aud contractor, was some
what better and hopes are now entertained
of his recovery.
Guyton was all excitement Friilay night
over the attempted suicide, and all through
the night a large number of citizens, under
direction of Dr. J. S. Lanier, worked faith
fully with the unfortunate man to keep up
an artificial respiration, and about 5 o’clock
yesterday morning succ*eded iu reviving
the patient to such an extent that he could
breathe, but the physician left him eut°r
faing but little hope of his rec very. The
drug, which it is suppos and he procured
when he visited the city Wednesday of last
week, had the name of J.T. Shuptrine blown
in the bottle, which was a three ounce bottle,
but Mr. Shuptrine said that he keens a
record of sales of laudanum of tha‘ quau-
TRy, and he has n ne of ifc • sale to Snider.
Ar. Shuptrine said liis bottles are scattered
all oyer the country, and it does cot follow
that it was purchases! at nis drug store.
Snider was absent from bis home and
business most of the day Friday, and when
found by Judge Weitman, about 4 o’clock
iu the evening, he was lying in one of the
new, unoccupied houses which he recently
erected for Mr. B. D. Resenbrook of Savan
nah. Judge Weitman examined the man
and saw that he was Snider, with an emoty
three ounce laudanum bottle by his side.
He at once gave the alarm and hastily sum
moned Dr. Lanier, who administered anti
dotes and then hsd the patient conveyed Jo
his home and there kept up the treatment.
Tbo antidotes, apparently, had little effect,
so he was forced to resort to artificial means
of producing respiration.
Mr. Snider lias been a citizen of Guyton
and vicinity alt his life, and has done most
of the conttac.ing and building at Guyton
for the past three years. He was of quiet
and correct habits, and highly esteemed as
an industrious aud hard working man and
it was generally thought that he was doing
well. He is about 2# years old and a mem
ber of the Baptist church. Some five year
ago he married a Miss Hinely, a niece of
Mavor Sweat, and had provided his wife a
comfortable home.
That Snider intended to take his own life
is evidenced by a letter he left addressed to
Mayor Sweat, in which he intimated that
his domestic felicity was not v. hat it should
be. He gave explicit directions as to the
disposition of his remains, and went so far
as to select tho hymn which should be sung
at his funeral. He is involved considerably
and a gentlemen of this city said yesterday
that Snider owes him about SSOO. The
financial embarrassment appears due to the
fact that Snider had taken contracts too
low.
