SAVANNAH OF TIP 1 )Tv.
The Morning Yen* Annual Trade Review-.
A Few Pointers In Relation Thereto.
The Mornino News’ Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre
hensive statement of the business of Savan
nah, will lie issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. 1,1839, will be a
memorable one i t 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 ia
which the out6ide world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The Morning News ia its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is ono of the most
progressive and healthy cities in the union,
ar.d that her citiz n°, judging from what
they have done during the last year, nr.
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 money
within her limits. They have demonstrate i
beyond all doubt that they have coufide c
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 Morning News will, in its Trade
Review, present to 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 and do busireo
either in summer or winter. It will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
e>> at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
It will afford business me i an opportun
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves. It is hoped that in size, as
well as in othar 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 bo distributed, if the
response of the b usiness men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe it
wall be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can lie ha ided in at the busines
office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvassers.
The feeling throughout the south i a
very hopeful one. This is due to tie fact
that the promise of excellent crops is voiy
flattering.
The recent Louisiana appointments don’t
suit ex-Senator VV. P. Kellogg of Louisiana.
It doesn’t make much difference to the
President, probably, whether they do or not.
Kellogg i, a dead duck so far as Louisiana
politics is concerned.
Quay’s Ambition.
The republican state convention of Penn
sylvania meets at Harri- <urg to-dav to
nominate a candidate for state treasurer.
It seems t > be understood trial there wil. be
no contest for the nomination. Senator
Quay, the boss of the party, has, it is sai i,
selected the candidate and prepa< o i tue w ay
for his nomination.
In connection with the meeting of the
Pennsylvania repub.ican convention the
report is quite generally circulated that
Senator Quay is a Candida e for the pro l
dontml nomination of his party in IXI2. it
would n t be at all surprising if tnis repo t
were well founded. Ke.ua.or Quay is very
ambitious, and is ono of the ablest of
the republican leaders, so far as
party management is concerned. He is
not a statesman, nor a man who is fitt > 1 to
mako hi* mark as a legislator. Si ce he
has been in public life ho has <1 no nothing
that shows that he is well inform ■! re
specting the leading questions b f to tie
country. Asa party biss, however, he has
been very successful.
Kenati r Q jay's meth vls as a political
manager are not those which command the
-ospect of ri .ht thinking people. T ac
complish his purposes he and ms nut hesi ale
to use secretly means that he would not
dare to u-e o >enly. In the las' national
republican campaign, the nia lageme it of
widen was entrusted to him, a vast amount
of money was spent. It has been freely
assorted, and never successfully denied, that
the greater part of it was distributed among
purcjasable voters.
The Postmaster General, Wanamaker,
was chiefly instrumental in collecting
several hundred thousanl dollars. The
Wanamaker cou ribution, however, was,
it is believe 1, only a small part of the cam
paign fun i, wuicb Se lator Q iry ha 1 at his
command, and w iich was so place 1 ai to
be productive of pr ctical results. What
was done with the money is shown pre ty
cieirly by the celehrtt > i "bloc-ts >f five”
letter. That letter, it will be remembered,
pointed out tho way to purchase the fi mat
ing vote of Indiana.
Senator Quay was not regarded with
favor by a very 1 irgn part f nis party m
Pennsylvania when he suoeee lei in getting
the n unination for trea urer of that stit >.
Tho leading republ ca i organ of Pnilal.fi
phia condemned him in unmeasured terns,
and spoke of him as a man iho >ught not
to bo trusted. He was elected, however,
and soon afterward was sent
to the United States Senate. Ho
was chosen to manage the national cam
paign of his party lust full because, por
haus, of his reputation as a corruption t.
Tho republicans believed that they could
win, if tney could win at all, only by an
extravagant use of money, and they knew
of no man so well fi ted io conduct a
“boodle” campaign as Se mtor Qua. - .
Senator Quay’s nomination for President
in 1892 is by no meaus improbable. The
Republican Darty has not a very high sense
of honor. lis pu p ise is to remain in co i
trol of tne government, and it doesn’t care
if it has to resort to corrupt methods to do
so. That being the character of he party,
why should it not look with favor upou
Senator Quay as a presidential candidate.
rh*y are in harmony on the question of
party management. It could not be said
that he was better than his party, nor
worse, for thst matter.
Senator Quay is a typical republican.
He has all hi party’s vices. If it had any
c nspi uous virtues he might pretend to
have them also. He knows his party thor
oughly, an 1, kno ving it as he does, ho is
not making a mistake, pro ably, in seeking
to be his party's caudid .to for the presi
dency.
Tanner Will Atay.
It seems to be admitted in Washington
that the President proposes to stand by
Corporal Tanner. The corporal had an in
terview with the President a day or two
ago, and ho left the white house with a
smiling lace. It is understood iiiat lie wid
go to the grand army encampment at .Mil
waukee, and do as much talking there as he
pleases. He will be at liberty to say that
the Republican party is going to be gener
ous to the ex union veterans, and that con
gress will have to furnish the
necessary mo ey. It is evident that
tbe Pre ident is afraid of the
soldier element in politics, and that.he pro
poses to cultivate it at tbe expense of the
people.
There is ono thing, however, that, it is
alleged, the corporal will have to do, and
that is to make his subordi mtes refund the
money they have put into their pockets by
rerating tneir ovn pensions. This will bo
p etty hard for some of tnem to do, be
cause, doubtless, they have spent the
money. The fact, howover, that the cor
poral permitted them to put their hands
into the treasury and take money for them
selves shows that he is not a lit man for the
position he occupies.
It is t e general impression in Washing
ton th t Secretaries Wi'idom and Noble
want to get rid of the corporal. There is
no probability that they will succeed in
doing so. The corporal has more influence,
apparently, with the President than they
have, and he will c ratinue to run the pen
sion office at least for the present.
The cruiser Boston, of the new navy, was
pretty badly damaged in Newport h rbor
the other day. Our dispatches yeslerd v
stated that she succeeded in reaching
the Brooklyn navy yard. She struck a
hidden rock. She had no regular pilot.
Her commander was discharging the duties
of a pilot. Had there been a regular pi ot
on the cruis*r it is probable tuar she would
have avoided the su .keu rock. The govern
ment can atford pilots, and in the long ruu
It would be cheaper to einpl -y them.
The signal service officials at Washington
have announced that tae heavy rains for
that section of the eou itry are over for this
summer. When are the signal service offi
cials of this city going to make a similar
announcement for this secti m of country ?
The thunder shower of yesterday was sug

Sixty-three millionaires reside on the
Hudson river between Dobbs’ F, rry and
Tariy town, a distance of six miles, it is
estimated that their aggregate we.aith is
about $500,000,000. They may take a no
tion to put in a bid to have the proposed ex
position m 1802 between Dobbs' Ferry aud
Tarry town.
Gov. Lowry repri anded the officer who
had charge of John L. .Sullivan when tie
latter arrived in Jackson, Miss., for not
putting bis prisoner in jail at once instead
of taking him to a hotel and permitting
him to hold a reception. The governor
means business.
This has been a better season for water

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1889.
A Sp’endid Crop Prospect.
Our corn spnn tents in all parts of this
state rep rt teal t . or ids are ia an excel
lent c mdition a: and pr vmise an abundant
harvest. Many of our merchants aid our
com nercial travelers who hve b-en re
ce illy in dilf.-re it nans >f tie state, also
say t at tue outlvok f r big cr ps is very
eneo iraging. If n :.img -ecu s to injure
the cor iad the cof >i, t s vear will be
one of the most prosperous in tue history
of the s'ate.
There ; no J vu‘ < tha: the c >rn crap will
lie larger th* i is ae* s-.\rv to m >’- th) de
tninis of tie ho ue market. Goor,in will
have o'r-.i t > sol Tins is somotaing which
those wh > are a x o.u for the ale's pros
perity have long desired. When Georgia
makes her own food cr ps she will be com
pa atively independent. Cotton, her money
crop, a ill t he i make her rich.
Bjt cotton is not ner only money crop.
Within a fe v years she has gi .on a great
deal of altenti >n to fruits and vegetables.
Kite sends vast quantities of in >.on, pears,
pea'’he* and early vegotab ns to the cities
of the n irth and west. Tiiis year she has
snipped aa immense quantity of peaches,
and iso iw shipping H;r fruit and
vegetable shipments will steadily increase,
year after year, until they will bring al
most, if not fully, as much in mov into tho
pockets of her people as cotton.
It is gratifying that at last tne farmers of
the state are realizing the importance of di
versified crops. The newspapers have been
urging them for yea-s to pay more atten
tion to food crops, fruits and stock, and
they are now and ling s. In a very fe w years
Ge irgia will not only bo aim at wholly in
dependent of her sister state;, but she will
enjoy a phosperity greater than that which
her most enthusiastic admirersever thoug.it
probable.
The indications of a great cotton crop are
verv flattering. Unless there shoulu be too
much rain within the next few weeks it
will be, probably, the biggest, crop Georgia
has ever produced.
It is said that Mrs. H irrisoa has a very
sympathetic nature. The basis of ibis state
ment is tho following story: A convict
named Elliott, confined in a Uni od Ktates
prison, wrote some verses on Gen. Harriso i
as a soldier. lie sent the verses to Mrs.
Harrison with a tearful letter, in which he
suggested that he was being unjustly puu
is.ied. The poein and tne let er induced
Mrs. Harrison to plead with the President
fur the convict’s pardon, which was
granted. It is doubtless quite safe to say
that the convict is a very bad man, and
i hat society wou.d have been safer had he
remained in prison.
Washington territory has sent a cry of
distre>s a id au aopeil for ass.stance to
Ma saenusetts. The mayor of Tacoma says
that there are te i men in the territory to

surplus of women the Tac >tn i mayor wants
the mayor of B istou to use his infl nonce to
cause a stampede of Massachusetts worn m
in the direo ion of Puget Sou id. Here is

It is suspected that Corporal Tanner is to
be whitewashed by Secretary Nobie’s in
vestigating commit ee. Several things
liavo cropp ’d out which justify thy suspi
cion. The Presideat couldn’t take a wis r
c iu. se than to got rid of Curporal fan ier,
but he doesn’t seem to have the courage to
take necessary steps to do so. He seems to
be afraid of the grand array people.
The Lane mills at New Orleans have 400
men employed in manufacturing cotton
bagging. These mills have a contract t >
supply cotton bag;ing for about 1,000,000
bales of cottoa. The tare question has not
yet been setded. It ougut to boas soon a,
possible, so that planters using cotton bag
ging would stand on tbe same footing with
those using jute bagging.
Phil idelphia does not seem to be doing
anything toward getting purer water for
her people. It is stated that during the
month of July in that city 455 people were
atfl.cted with typhoid fever, and that 55 of
that number died. The Puiladelphia au
thorities ought to bestir themselves in the
matter of providing w holes mie w ater.
The committee tuat is examining Cor
poral Tanner’s management of the pension
office has discovered that a W'asm. gton
pension attorney named Lemon has had
more pern-ion cams ina le special thaa any
other pension claim agent. Lemon is the
mail w.io made himself s> c mspicuous by
his opposition to Mr. Cleveland.
Last year in Liverpool there were 15,000
convictions for drunkenness. In view of
the fact toat very few of those who get
and unk in teat or any other city are arrested
ana convicted f>r that offense, it is quite
safe to say that there is as much, if not
more, drunkenness in Liverpool than in
any other city of the world.
The monutnoat to Miles Brandish at Dux
bury, Mass., is nearly completed. It is to
be 110 feet high, aud stands o.i an eminence
3011 feet above the level of the sea. Navi
gators will note it as the first promiue.it
object us tiiey outer Massachusetts bay. It
can bo distinctly seen fifteen miles outside
of Cape Cod.
The Canadian papers are disposed to
criticise tae Presideu. and Secretary Blaine
quite severely m connection witut.ie Blame

however, are harmless. Unless E igla id

There are strong liulica ions, so it is re
ported, that the republicans of Virginia
propose to resort to the Dudley “blocks of
five” sort of a campaign to carry to .t state.
If they do the chances are tnat it will not
be quite so successful as it was in Indiana.
it seems that Mahone’s lieutenants do not
hen;ate to say that they expect the north
ern republ caus will furnish plenty of cash
to help Mahone carry Virginia this year.
The republicans have a firm belief in the
power of cash in elections.
Abraham Lincoln was t o tallest of the
Pro ideals of this country, lie was six feet
ami four inches in hight. Benjamin Har
rison is the shortest. Ho is five feet five
inches, ami yet he reached the persimmon.
There is nothing, it is tuoug it, that would
give the President more solid satisfaction
than to break the solid south. That is whv
he is giving Mahone so much oncourage-
I meat and assistance in Virginia.

HE SAW THI CORPSE MOVE.
Then the Undertaker's Apprentice Re
tired Perma ently from Business.
From the New York Heiald.
“Grimly ludicrous incidents happen occasion
ally even in such a jrrave business as that of
burying the dead, 'said a Third avenue under
taker with whom I was tai .ing the other day.
“One of th-* most amusing eases in my experi
ence happened last week, and resulted in
actually scaring out of the business a boy
whom I had taken as an apprentice.
“Begiuners are frequently required to act as
watchers during the night. One night last
week 1 sent my apprentice, a bright, active lad,
who seemed eager to learn, to sit up all night
in a death chamber at u Fifth avenue residence
The body was supplied with what we call a
corpse pres rver. This is a hollow zinc case,
fitting close over the breast and ab .omen of the
dea 1 person. The body is put on a cooling
board, and the preserver, fillet with ice, is
placed upon it. The supply of ice is renewed
fr mi time to time by th * watcher, and as the
ice melts the water runs off through a rubber
tube into a pail on the floor. The body in the
Fiitu avenu-* residence was provided with a
preserver of this kind.
“Several times before the boy had sat up with
corpses kept in exactly t e same way, had re
plenisned tue supply of ice in the preserver
profierly, and seemed to have no timl lty about
the work. There wras no mt mation that he
was not f ilfiiliug his duty in tne usual matter
of fact way uu this particular night until about
- o'clock a. m.
“Then trio whole house was awakened by a
series of yells from the death chamber. A
second l iter the l>oy rushed from the room,
down the stairs arid out of the house without
stopping to g-*t his hat. He was not seen again
tnat night. Ashe did not appear at my place
the n-xt da} r 1 hunted him up. and aft r much
persuasion got him to tell me the story of his
experience in the death chamber.
“He had been frightened nearly out of his
wits, anil even when t&lkiug to me was still suf
fering so from the experience that he, could
hardly stare tae facts connectedly. He said
th it he had fallen asleep for a few minutes, and
just as h • awoke he neard a gurgii g sound, for
ail the world line a person struggling for br *ath.
there was n > living thing in the room with him,
and still probab v half asleep is he strained his
eyes toward the stretcher, he declared solemnly
to me, and stuck to the siat *ment doggedly,
that he distinctly saw the corpse move. Just
at that moment he neard the gruesome gurgle
again from the direction of the stretcher, and—
tnat settled it! He yelled and rushed from tne
house.
" i he whole thing is easy of explanation, even
ir all the boy said is true. The noise was made
by the water from tne ice ru noltng through too
rub or discharge ; üba. I have frequently neard
it make such a gurgling 8 mnd. As to ihe move
ment of the c Tpse, that was prooab y the work
of the boy's i nagination. though the re.ax tion
of muscles some hours °fter death could easily
produce such a movement. Anyhow, the boy
was hadlv scare 1. and not withstand ng my ex
planations .f what had caused nis fright ne de
cided to retire permanently tro.u the undertak
ing business. *’
A NIGHT OF AGONY.
A Man's Hair Turns White at the Aw
lul Peril He Was In.
From the Buffalo Eagle.
Some years ago I was in Indianapolis. Ind., on
business, and made there the acq aintance of a
very pleasant aud intelligent gentleman, who
was a member of the Senate of Indiana—John
Coburn. He had not reached middle life. With
a fresh, ruddy complexion and healthy look
and vigorous step and b aring of early man
hood, he had an abundance of white hair on his
head that indicated a man of a. least four score
years. I could not understand how so yout .fill
a man in personal appearance should have such
remarkably white hair. Curiosity led me, after
a very agreeable and sociable acquaintance of
several days, to ask: “Why is it, Mr. Coburn,
that as young a man as you are should have so
white a head of hair?”
He a swered at once: “Oh. Mr. Briggs, there
is a terrible story connected with my white
hair.” And he told it to me is f. llows: “A few
years ago I was in th • cattle business, shipping
them by carloads to th ■ east. Oue night I uad
a train of several carloads, and hail stopped on
a side track to let a passenger train ,p iss, and
on getting on to a car in the dark my foot
slipped, and for miles I was supported by one
foot > rum falling on the track, where 1 must
have been immediately crushed to death. My
strength was exhausted. I thought l must die.
I ooul l not hold n any longer. The tram was
stopped, I was discovered and rescued alive. My
nan , when i attempted to get on the car, was
blacK as night. When I was rescued it was as
white as snow.”
She Puts on the Full Address Now.
From the Washington Capital.
A young woman in Washington has been
weeping big. bitter tears of brine. She wrote
to Jack some weeks ago. and Jack never an
swered her. She waited, but in too, and finally
when she passed Jack on the street she cut him
dead. Tnen she went ho ne and played weird,
melancholy minor waltzes on the piano and
read novels with lots of love and suicide in
them.
And lac —poor Jack I He went from claret
soda water to real beer. Instead of smoking
two cigarettes a day he consumed a whole
p ckage before dinner. He went for hours
without brushing his clothes and didn’t care
whether his necktie was up over the top of his
collar or not.
Recently the postman rang the door bell at
the young woman's house and left a
le ter. There was a note on the back of it
which read:
Miss— : The next time you WTite to
“Pear Jack” put his full name anl address on
the envelope.
She grasped the fearful truth at once. The
secrets sh ■ had entrusted to those pages had
been exposed to the gaze of a lot of heartless
jeering lead-let er clerks: and all because in a
lit of loving absent-mindedness she had for
gotten to put any thing but “Jack'’ on the
envelope.
Jack now wears his cravat with all the grace
of former days.
A Remarkable Race irack Story.
From the St. Louis Republic.
The most r markable accident that ever hap
pened to a thoroughbred occurred yesterday
morning at the fair grounds track. Among the
horses out for exercise was F. R. Biss 11's aged
mare Concordia, by Concord, dam Maltie.
Sue had an ugly temper, and a 140-pound boy
was put up, with instruct ons to give her a good
spin. Before going far she ran away, and when
pul.ed up the boy dismounted, an i Wilde Tav
ior, a 10- p un : bov, connected with the Chicca
saw stable, essayed to take some of the temper
out of her. He had no sooner mounted than
the mare bolted, and ran ii.se a flash for the
stable gate.
A haii-dozen men were standing at the gate,
and sh- swerved toward the fence, breaking a
post. Tiie top rail, about 16 feet long and 6
inches thick, cut away her right shou der,
passed through her ah lomen, and came out
under her right hip. She wheeled as the rail
passed through her, and walked about 10 feet,
when it fell out on the track. It was blent on
both ends, and passed eutireiy through the
animal in the way desc ibed. She fell down
after the rad had made its exit, arose again,
and. as her bloo 1 deluged the tr c , walked
about 20 feet and dro. ped dead. Tne boy fel
ov.-r tier head, and was not injured. The mare
start * i in the first matinee this year, but was
not placed.
Nature’s Masterpiece.
From tie Boston Courier.
The lovely maideu in the hammock swings
Beneath th’ umbrageous trees.
While robin in tne ripening orcuard sings
H's thrilling melodies.
In dotted muslin dress or snowy lawn.
Adorned with cherry bows.
She is a vision fairer than the dawn,
Sweet as the new blown rose.
The shining tress-sof her silken hair
About her shoulders play;
There Cupid hides—each ringlet is a snare:
Avoid her while you may.
For who can look upon her lovely face.
Her brightly beaming eye,
Behold her smile, her form’s bewitching grace,
And seathless pass her by?
Turn back, oh youth! another path pursue;
Turn tiack, ttiou art in peril;
If thou would’st keep thy heart avoid her. do
Tne sweet vacation girl.

Perhaps the latter offer may also be considered
an encouragement to astronomical investiga

Slowly the great falls of the Niagara river
are changing in shape, through the eating away
of the shale rock which underlies the hard rock
that forms the bed of the rapids. It is almost a
mifnomi r now to speak of the Canadian por

falls, and within a week this designation has
uecome more than ever misplaced in conse
quence of the fall of a large section of the bed
rock m the very center of the falls. So much

i anadian side of the river has been narrowed
more than half, and the little stea ner Maid of
the Mist has less difficulty than before ia run

Fourteen years ago Joseph Buchtel saw a
little fellow knocked down by a horse' drawing
a street car in which he was riding in Portland,
Ore. The driver's head was turned, and Buch
tel, grabbing the reins with one hand, whe-led
the horse away from the child, an i with the
other grasped him just as the wheel was about
to crush him. The father, \V. C. Johnson was
profuse m thanks, and the affair was apparently
forgotten. The child grew, aud on his lath
birthday Mr. buchtel was invited to Mr. John
son's office, where he found the family assem
bled. Tne boy matie a neat speech, and handed
his surprised rescuer a gold-headed caue in
scribed: "From W. Carey Johnson, June’ 27

Writing from Turin about her brother, Hen.
Louis Kossuth, who is now 88 years old, Mme.

Turin, in a pleasant villa, surrounded by a hand
some garden, which he planted himself an i cul

is one ot' his favorite studies. Botany occ ipied
a great dea of his time as long as he was able
to climb the Alps. Now he has given it up but

The Toxas and Pacific Company sank a
bored well some years ago near Eagle Flat sta
tion, Ala., in order to obtain artesian
water. The well was abandoned when it had
been bored 800 feet, but the tubing is still intact
in it. For twelve hours each day a furious gust
of air rushes into tha tubing, and the next
twelve hours an equally strong gust rushes out
A local theory of the phenomenon is as follows
" The wed must penetrate Into some large sub
terranean cavern which contains a large body
of water, this w ater having connection, bv an
underground passage, with the Gulf of Mexico
or the Pacific ocean. If Ihis be true, it is very
plain that the sue ion and escaping of the a r is
caused bv the ebbing and flowing of tne tide
As tile tide ebbs down in this cavern a vacuum
is made underground, which is filled uy t e air
rushing iu through this well, and, cooverse.v,
when the tide comes up. the air is forced out
through the same oi-eniug. Tne air while in
this cavern may become mixed with various
gases, but not maguetizedC as has been sup
posed. ”
