SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning New, Annual Trade Heriew—
A Few Pointers In llrlntloti Thereto.
The Morning News’ Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre
hensive statement of the business of Savan
nah. w ill be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. 1, 1889, will be a
memorable one ii the history of Savannah,
and the Morning News proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
thri ugh the columns of its newspapers.
The Morning News i.i its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive aud healthy cities in the union,
and that her citiz-us, judgl-g from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great ess of her future.
They have proven by the various local im
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid to invest their monoy
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MokNino News will, in its Trade
Review, presentto the word “Savannah of
to-day,” in a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu iness of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
It will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live aud do business
either in summer or winter. It will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, aud that by their acts her citizeus
show that t..ey are satit-Sed that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and.will be a newspaDer which
those who feel a pride in their ei.y will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
It will afford business me an opportun
ity of saying something about t. oir business
and themselves. It is hoped that in size, as
well as in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however,
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
It is desired to distribute 50,000 copies,
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe it
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be handed in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will bo called for
by the canvassers.
It is said that the cause of Mary Ander
son's breaking down was due not so much
to overwork as to tbe heavy burden which
her family imposes upon her. It is reported
that she has to support a pretty big lot of
relations. Her generosity is greater than
her strength.
Tho Yeldell Case.
Our dispatches yesterday swed that Gov.
Beaver, of Pennsylvania, had finally and
- cided to deliver John Yeldell to the South
I Carolina auth iritiee. He could hardly have
| done otherwise with ut aa arbitrary exer
cise of power that would have been very
generally condemned. No doubt he woul 1
like to hav - gratified the unthinking Cjl re i
people of Pittsburg by refusing an order
for Yeldell’s extra lit on, but the way was
not clear for him to do so. The Pittsburg
judge, efore whom Y'eldell was broug it to
test the validity of the extra iiuon pape s,
said that the governor could not honorably
resist Yeldeli's extradition.
The case was in some respects a remark
able one, not because tnere was anything
unusual in the course pursued by the gov
ernor of South Ca olina, but because of the
extraordinary efforts made by the colored
people of Pittsburg and the republics i press
oft at city, to prevent Yeldell from lieiog
taken back to Sou n Carolina Kepul lican
j dir. als outside of Pittsburg we t so far as
to say that it promised t > becomo a cise of
national itnpo tauoe, though oa what
ground they based that assertion it is not
easy to understand.
Y'eldell is a mul itto, end was born a
slave. He is under indictment in Kdgefield
county, South Carolina, for r 'tnpiicity in
the murder of Johu Blackwell, who was
killed in October, 18*4. Blackwell was a
deputy sheriff, and w.as killed while assist
ing jn arresting a number of colored men,
for whom warrants had been issued for
creating a disturbance at a religious meet
ing. It is alleged that Y’eldell is one of
those who shot him.
So-n after the B 1 inkwell tragedy Yeldell
began ms ir.g preparations for becoming a
miuister. He seems to h ive led an houest
ad industrious life, and t > have met with
fair success. About a year and a half ago
be went to Pittsb trg, and there kept a
corner grocery for awhile and for a few
months was a waiter in oib of the hotels.
He finally became a minister, and was
known as the Rev. E. F. Flemon.
The mother of Blackwell, tho murdered
deputy sheriff, is a wealthy woman, an l
offered a large reward for tho arrest and
punishment of the slayers of her son. The
chief of police of Pittsburg, having heard
of the reward, and h iving seen a ootograph
of Y'eldell, concluded that t e Rev. Flemon
was the man wanted. He arrested him on
July 8 and notified the governor of South
Carolina of his action.
It was never at any time denied t at the
man who passed as Flemon was Yeldell, nor
was there any denial that there was suffi
cient proof to hold Y’eldell for trial for tho
murder of Blackwell Toe republican press
of Pittsburg, however, tried to make it up
pear that if Y'eldell killed any
body in South Carolina the killing
was done in defending himself
and other republicans against democra s,
and that tho purpose of taking Y'eldell
back to Edgefield county was to give his
political enemies a chance to get revenge.
It was freely asserted that Yeldell would
not reach Edgefield coun y alive, but would
bo taken from his guard ad shot or hanged.
Of course, all tnis tended to bring the
Y'eldell case into prominence, and doubt
leu a good many well-meaning people in
Pennsylvania were led to believe that an
innocent man was to be sacrificed to pri. ale
vongoance. Th 9 governor of that state,
however, and tho judge who heard the
tm!mas corpus proceedings, and even the
supreme court, to which a fruitless appeal
was made in Yeldell’s behalf, knew the
truth, a id so the prisoner wai sent back to
South Carolina. There he will be dealt
with fairly aud justly. If he is found
guilty he will be punished. If not fouud
guilty he will be given tns liberty.
Moro Room for Lunatics.
The legislature does not appear to be con
sidering any proposition for enlarging the
insane asylum. That asylum, however, is
far from being equal to the demands upon
it. It is now full to overflowing, and yet
in the county jails of the st .te there are
pa ienls who ought to be inmates of it.
There are two in the jail of this county.
The sheriff says they cannot be properly
cared for there. They annoy the entire
neighborhood, and besides little can be
done for their comfort or improvement.
The indications are that Elbe ty county
will furnish enough lunatics for a small
asylum before the false Christ craze that
prevails there is over. That craze lias al
ready made lunatics of quite a number of
the colorfed people.
The state must do something in the way
of providing more accomod itions for insane
people. It is not advisable to keep the
surplus in the cou ity jails. While parcel
ing out the monoy that is expected from
the lease of the state road, would it not be
well to remember the needs of the insane
asylum!
Rube Burrows, the traiu robber and
murderer, is givi ig the Alabama authori
ties a groat deal of annoyance. Ho is about
as hardened a desperado as there is any
where in the country. Tho reward of
fti.OOO which is offered for him ought to
bring him to justice. Just now he is wanted
for shooti g Postmaster Graves at Jewell.
His father, brothers and biotuer-in-law are
under arrest on the charge of being acces
sories to the crime, and it is feared that
Rube aud his gang will attenfpt to rescue
them. No me cy should be showu such
oulawa.
The number of severe rain storms this
summer has been very great. The south
has not suffered so much from them as the
north. Only a day or two ago Chicago was
damaged to the extent of a million dollars
by rain aud wind, aud our dispatches yes
terday c mtaiued accoun s of extraordina
rily he ivy rain storms in New Jersey,
Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
These heavy storms have been succeeding
one another with great frequency ever since
the warm weather began.
There seems to be a feeling in naval cir
cles that the sentence inflicted upon Capt.
Harrington was too severe. He was iu
command of the practice ship, Constella
tion, which grounded off Cape Henry
a few weeks ago. He was suspended from
duty for two years. The fact that much
lighter sentences have been inflicted for
much mure serious offenses is the ground
for complaining of Capt. Harriugcon’s sen
tence. No one doubts that he is an able
and careful seaman.
It looks as if it would cost the state fully
$50,000 to setti6 tho state road lease ques
tion. The cost of the legislature is about
$1,500 a day, aud tnere is no probability
that the question ca bo fully disposed of in
thirty days. Ti e wise c jurse is to soil the
road, and apply the money to the payment
of the stale debt. A good many members
will adopt this view before the state road
matter is disposed of.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, AUGUST 1,188 V).
Why Not Build a Cotton Mil.?
It is to be regretted t at Mr. Warfield
meets with so litt e encouragement in bis
efforts to build a cotton mill in this city.
There is no doubt plon’y of money here
that is not very proß ably inves.ed, and a
great dei! pro a iy that is not invesiel at
ail. Tuere are ma iy people vho have a
few thou aud do.la~s ea hi who would like
to invest their money in Something that
would pay them better than state or city
bonds. Why is it then that they he itate
to invest in ilr. Warfield's proposed cotton
mill?
One reason, and the main one, probablv.
is that they and > not know anything about
co:t n mil! prope ty. ad are afrai 1 that a
cotton mill here would not pay. But why
should it not pay? All the cotton raids i >
the state, aud in the south for that matter,
pay ha idsora j divide ds. It is true that
tbe Arkwright mill did not pay until Mr.
Warfieid became the manager of it, but he
explains satisfactorily wny it did not.
Under his management it pa and better than
almost any other business enterprise ii the
city. The fact that it jaid so weil makes
him anxious to erect another mill. He is
ready to put his mo .ey into such au enter
prise. No better evidence is needed that hs
knows what he is talkiug about when he
says that this city is just as good a place for
a cotton factory vs there is in the state.
It is to lie hoped that Mr. Warfield will
not abandon bis efforts in behalf of the
proposed factory. It required several years
to get en >ugh of the moneyed men of the
tow in the notion to build a hotel. When
they did make up their minds to build one,
however, thsv determined t) build a very
handsome one. If Mr. Warfield perseveres
it is highly probable that success will crown
his efforts.
The Contest in West Virginia.
It requires ago al deal of time to settle
the question w hether Judge Flemiug or Mr.
Goff is the governor of West Virginia. It
will soon be a year since the election, and
it is p obable that the great majority of
p 'Ople outside of that state have forgotten
that there is a conte.t for pos'ession of the
office of governor in progress there.
The legislature squabbled for a long time
over the question of which of the candi
dates yi as elected. It failed to reach any
conclusion, a id finally appointed a commis
sion composed of members of the legislature
to take testimony and make a report for
legislative action.
Mr. Goff, the republican claimant, had,
on the faco of the returns, a majority of
110. The testimony thus far taken by the
commission has been in favor of the demo
cratic claima it, Judge Fleming, who ha
made a net gaiu of 78, leaving him only 32
behind Mr. Goff. The indications now are
that tho report of thb commission will be in
favor of Judge Fleming. The democrats
Ciaim that there was a very large number
of frauds committed in tho southwestern
counties. The vote of these counties has
not yet boon canvassed. Judge Fleming
himself is reported 1 1 entertain tho opinion
that when the report of the commission ts
made, it wid show a legal majority for him
of at least 2,000,
Gov. Wi s n is still administering the
office of governor, and will continue to and
so until it is clearly shown who is entitled
to be his successor. Whan it beeamo ap
parent that there was a doubt whether
Fleming or Goff was elected it was gener
ally conceded that Gov. Wilson should re
main in office until the doubt win removed.
Mme. Dis Debar is like a cork—she con
tinues to float notwithstanding the effort-i
to push her beneath the waters of obscurity.
She is no longer a public curio ity because
of the way Herrmann, tho magician, ex
posed her, but she still sells pictures to
idiots who believe they are painted by
spirit hands. She was turned out of her
apartments on Thursday last because she
could not pay her rent. Some admi er liad
given her several bottles of wine, and,
alt ough she had hitherto not been a lover
of s; rong drink, her load of trouble drove
her to seek forgetfulness in tho wine. Her
actions of late had not been of the most
gentle and amiable kind any way, and with
the added stimulus of her potations she be
came so untracta lo that the kind friend
who had taken her in could no longer put
up with her, and insisted upon her finding
other quarters Another old believer, hear
ing of her plight, took her to a Brooklyn
convent, where she will be cared for as long
as she chooses to stay. She ought to stay
there the balance of her life.
Father Damien will not be forgotten as
the hero of Molokai, but there is another
who has done heroic work aino ig tho lepers
there. His name is Haualoa, and he is a
protestant preacher. One of the reasons
why so lit: le is known of him is that he does
not sp ak English. He has, however, been
at work among the lepers for twentv years.
He is a Hawaiian, aid when his wife was
afflicted with leprosy he said: “The lepers
of Mol kaineed me” and thither ho went.
That was in 1869, and be has ! eea a faith
ful worker o i that desolate island among
the suffering people there ever since.
Tho salt trust failed to materialize, not
because it was thought it would not pay,
but because it was feared that there would
be such an outcry against trusts that the
next congress would remove the duty on
salt. Without a high duty it would not he
po sible for the trust to pay big dividends,
Tbe salt duty should be reduced whether
tnere is a salt trust or not. As long as tue
duty remains the temptation to form a
trust and put up the price of salt will
exist.
Christian science has not flourished grently
since Mrs. Pinukett left her husband to
cling to A. Bendy AVorthington. Decent
people fig it shy of such persons as tin
Ptunkett-Worthingt m crowd. It is prob i
ble that Christian science hai had its day,
It is on tho down grade. Scandal has got a
grip on it that wili probably compel it to
pud down the blinds.
Chatham county is steadily growing
richer. Ihe increase of her taxable prop
erty for the present year is nearly $1,500,-
000. In 1884 her taxable property was not
quite $20,500,000. Now it is nearly $27,-
000,000. If the “no fence” law were in
force her assessments would reach $40,000 -
000 in a very few years.
Postmaster General Wanamaker will
succeed iu knocking out tho green postage

The legislature talks about adjourning bv

“Hide and Seex.”
From the Chicago News.
In her round and rosy cheek
Dimples played at “hide and seek.'*
And of the.r hiding place so sleek
I jeAlous grew,
fihe would give no invita ion.
So despite her condemnation.
And without further hesitation,
I caught a few.
She gave a naughty little pout,
And now, thou ht I. I'm counted out,
Instead of those I hoped to rout.
Some laughter.
She said: “You are a wicked man,
But you may catch them if you can.''
Then laughed again, the rascals ran
And I ran after.
But one kept hidden near her mouth,
Her breath, the breezes of the south
Grew tame beside it.
I would hare given all my pelf
To once have cau/ht the dimple elf,
And selfish-wished to hide myself
Inside it.
But the dimple hi 1 so deep,
I really could cot catch p |>eep,
And so I missed it;
I chased it round her mouth full-lipped,
No bee has sweeter hone'* sipped.
Aud then, I think I must hav e slipped,
And kissed It.
His Fat Aunt.
From, the New York Press.
A most laughable incident for those who wit
nessed it. but a very moist and somewhat dan
gerous one for the corpulent female who fig
ured in it, occurred at Downer landing. Boston
harbor. A brave young man. accompanied by
his 2)0 pound aunt, descended the steps from
Whiton .pier to embark .in a yacht, which lay
alongside, and enjoy a little cruise in Hiugbam
harbor. The youth stepped aboard and man
fully extended a hand to his companion. Fat,
lair, and 40 hesitated. She put one large, gen
erous foot upon the sides of the boat while the
other rested upon the lower stair and paused
before trying to bridge the chasm. To hesitate
was to be lost, for every instant she remained
in that position the pressure of her weight was
surely widening the breach. At last she made
a supremo effort, but too late. Up went her
heels and down went she with a plunge that dis
placed an immense volume of water.
ihe young mans fat aunt floundered and
pawed about like a sea elephant, momentarily
imbibing large draughts of salt water. Finally
she succeeded in clutching The rail of the yacht,
and hung on with a tenacity that threatened to
swamp it. The voung man seized her, groaned,
grunted, and started streams of" |>erspiration in
hiselfor s to drag her aboard, but in vain. There
sue hung, half in and half out, the water line
just coming above her waist.
But yankee genius triumphed in the end. The
youth seized a coii of ro; e, pressed the line
around the body of his weighty relative, drew it
tight under her arms and Lis *ied the other end
to the mast. Then jumping overboard and
putting his shoulder to the loa J. by a long pull,
a strong pull, and a pull altogether, the sputter
ing aunt was safely landed on the bottom of the
boat. The cruise was br of.
Hla Conduct Was Considered Onery
Mem
From the New York Sun.
There was to be a hanging in a South Caro
lina town, and the people had come from far
and no ir to witness it. An hour before the
time set for the executi *n the crowd numbered
fully I.ftOO. Half an hour later word was given
out that the condemned had been reprieved,
and that there would b* no hanging. Avery
few expressed their satisfaction that the gov
ernor had interfered, hut the majority ware
greatly disappointed. One man, at *r consid
erable loud talk, pushed his way through the
crowd to the jail and called to the sheriff, who
stood o i the steps;
‘You. thar*. .Jim Reeves!”
‘ What is it?”
“Hain't Jim Renfo© gwine to be hung?*
“No.”
“Is that squar'?' 1
“Yes.”
“hid Jim Lev anything to d”> with it?”
”\\ e 1. he didn't want to be hung, and he en
couraged his lawyers to do their bed.”
“He knowed thar' was a • ig crowd yere?”
“Yes.”
“He knowed what we come fur?''
“Yes.”
' Look yere, Jim: I've driv fo'teen miles to
see this yere, and I've got the ole woman and
the three children yere, and my five niggers
n v cot a holiday, aud who's gwine ter pay the
damages?”
lYiar' ain't no damages."
, ”^ har ! hain't, eh! Don’t you twitter that
thar hain t! Somebody has got to make up to
me fur this. I'll sue the whole parcel of ye,
trom governor down, and if I car.'t git satisfac
tion then Jim Ren foe had i>etter look out fur
me! A man as will go and pizen his grand
mother and git all ready to be hung and then
kirk agin it aud leave a big crowd in the lurch
is too onery fur this section, an l I'm gwine to
camp on h s trail! Tell Jim he and better grow
wings afore becomes out o’ that, and they
want to he wings big enough to carry him off
at the rate of a mile a minute.”
Innocent Urchins."
From the Boston Courier.
If there is any place where one Deeds to keep
all his wits about him it is in the mission Sun
day school. T.ie urchins who are there gath
ered together have no reverence foreit ler things
sacred or things profane, and they are rea ly to
question anything and everything said to them
with a frankness and a boldness which is emi
nently disconcerting to any one not accustomed
to t his sort of tiling.
They are not above playing tricks and laying
snares for their teachers. On one occasion a
young ravscaliion in a North End school re
marked in a sanctimonious tone:
■'ny fatuer uriuKs."
Tbe unwa y teacher, falling into the trap
began to talk to the class of the evils of intem
perance, and of how much little Johnny was to
be pitied for having a father who was given to
the dreadful habi of intemperance, ghe waxed
eloquent, and spoke at considerable length
secretl. feeling that she ha t never done better’
m l that she must surely make an impression
upon her pupils.
And then when she had made an end of speak
ing, and all the class were supposed to be in
an eminently edified condition of mind, little
Johnny finished his sentence with an a r so in
nocent as to dec five, if it were possible, even
the very elect.
“My father.” he said, “drinks water.”
And he smiled confidingly into the face of his
teacher, as if he were sure of her approval, and
as if be enjoyed the approval of a clear con
science; as indeed very likely he did.
On another day w hen a teacher was endeavor
ing to impress upon a class of newsbovs the
beauty of righteousness, and to give them some
sort of a leanmg toward the paths of decency
sobriety and godliness, an impudent, saucy;

On ion.el that she had a' last, galnel their
attention, and. dreading to lose it again she
went on a lit tie with her talk about the force
and its manifestations. The boys listened in
tently. and p e er-tly one of the dirt est and

his ragged trousers expressive of satisfaction

A laborer named John Hatch died at Belle

known to physicians as Ludwig's augina
Hatch, who was apparently a stro i and vigor

la*t week. On Thursday evening his neck began
to swell, an 1 on Saturday evening his condition
was sucii that one of the attendants at the De
milt dispensary, where he went to be treate
se t him to Beilevue hospital. He reached the
hospital at u o'c ock p. ni., and at 7 o'clock
when he was see by lir. S. J. White, Jr..'
one of the attending physicians, he was
verging oa suffocation from the swelling
of the t'io’.tis. To prevent suffocation
tracheotomy was performed the sane nig, it
and tns life was prolonged thereby until Sun

Lie affection is called Ludwig's angina, from
the fact that a physician named Ludwig lirst
called attention to It as a distinctive disease. Ii
is characterized by the phlegminous or rani i
ana virule.it inflammation of the deep-seated
tissues of the neck. It may be caused by a sore
or injury to the mouth, as well as by the ex
traciion of a tooth. Although many*cases are
recur .ed in medical history. Dr. White says
this is only the second one he has seen. An
examination of Hatch’s mouth showed that the
jawbone was not fractured by the pulling of

S v Chicago lawyer has explained to a Chicago
court that a hoodoo is something which pur
sues a man with misfortun , much in the man
ner that a wheelbarrow maxes its hauuii,.g

it in the dark, inis is not a happy illustra
tion. do stumble over a wheelbarrow is
doubtless perplexing, painful, maddening.
P ll i t .■ t , hera , !s nothing weird, uncanny, or
baler ul about such an experience. It
is simply a piece of plain, unvarnished
misfortune, which can be explained bv
the laws of gravity. On the ether hand, *a
hoodoo is something which shatters natural
laws in order to work harm. A man who has
been hoodooed finds that all t' e forces of nat
ure are in active conspiracy against, him. If he
goes out to borrow money his pocket will be
picked and none of his f rien is wi 1 lend hi u a
cent. If he goes on a journey the railroad
tram will run off the track. If he rides on a
cable car he will get stuck in the tunnel. Iu a
wo and, he is hoodooed. Some people would ciii
the outward manifestations of a hoodoo mere
bad luck. But the ad pt in hoodoos can ob
s rve an important distinction between the two
Th spel! oi the hoodoo must be broken by an
incantation, w.iile bad luck will simp y wear

for hoodoos. One is to get a mascot and the
other is to decline to be hoodooed.
