THE DINGLEY AND FRYE BILLS.
The Board ol Trade's Opposition to the
Measures.
The board of trade takes no stock in either
the Dingley pilot bill or the Frye subsidy
bill, and while the body expressed itself in
■eery plain language on the Frye bill, of
which it disapproves, it was milder in its
action on the Dingley bill than the marine
comm ttee had recommended, a substitute
by Mr. James K. Clarke taking the place of
the resolutions submitted by the marine
committee through its chairman, Mr.
George P. Walker.
CoL J. C. Haskell had been invited to
attend the meeting, but as he had appeared
before the marine committee of the board
he did not deem it advisable to attempt to
overcome the manifest opposition to the
Frye bill. In fact, the opposition of the
cotton exchange, and the probable hint that
the board of trade would be more pro
nounced in its disapproval,doubtless hurried
him away, as he was not in the city yester
day.
Tnere were about thirty-five members
present, President John R. Young in the
chair. Supt. Howard read the resolutions
on t'ue Frye bill with the marine commit
tee’s rec iumendation that they do pass, and
uoon a vote they were unanimously adopted.
They are as follows:
Whereas. There is a bill pending in congress,
known as the Frye bill, the purport of which is
the subsidizing of American built ships engaged
in the forei n trade, aud intending to revive the
merchant marine of the United States; and.
Whereas. The decrease in the merchant ma
rine dates from the enforcement of, and was
caused by, the high protective tariff adopted
bv the United States congress; and,
Whereas, Tue subsidizing of ships in other
countries where protective tariffs exist has not
made maritime nations of thorn, while Great
Britain, the lap of free trade, leads the mari
time powers or the earth without any govern
mental aid except compensation for carrying
mails and for work performed for the govern
ment;
litsoh'td, That it is the opinion of this board
of trade that step building in the United States
cannot bo healthfully sustained, even by gov
ernmental subsidy, so long as the high protect
ive tariff exists.
The following preamble and resolutions
on tho Dingley bill were then submitted;
Whereas, A bill is now pending in congress
known as the Dingley bill, and is headed, “Ex
empting American coastwise sailing vessels
piloted by their licensed masters or by a United
Sta'es pilot from the obligation to pay state
pilots for services not rendered,” and wiiich
provides for the licensing of masters of such
vessels by local inspectors to pilot their vessels
in the ports, harbors or waters within the dis
trict where such license shall be issued; and
Whereas, It is our belief—
:. That many, if not all, of the local inspect
ors appointed for inspection of hulls and boilers
are not familiar, if acquainted, with the chan
n Is of our ports, harbors or waters, and are
therefore unqualified to pass upon competency
of applicants for license as pilots;
2. Tuat it is to the best interests of our port
to have the state of Georgia to regulate the
pilotage laws for her ports, harbors or waters;
and
3. That it is to the best interests of our port
to have a regular established company of pilots
at all times in our waters to meet the necessities
of our port and the ships visiting it, and it is
only proper that the coastwise vessels should
contribute to their maintenance;
Resolved, That we consider the said Dingley
hill would, if adopted, prove detrimental to the
interests of our port, and we urge upon the rep
resentatives and senators from Georgia in con
gress to use their best endeavors to defeat the
same.
The resolutions, while evidently reflecting
the sentiments of the members present,
were rather strongly worded, and the fol
lowing substitute by Mr. James K. Clarke
was adopted:
Moved. That the board of trade decline to re
ques' their representatives to favor or support
the bill known as the Dingley bill, as the present
pilot laws of Georgia seem to give general sat
isfaction to trade aniTcommerce.
PERFECTING THE PROGRAMME.
The Merchants’ Week Committees
Hard at Work.
Three important meetings of Merchants’
week committees will be held at the trav
elers’ exchange to-night. The members of
the finance committee have already sent in
their responses in answer to the chairman’s
notification of appointment, and the com
mittee will meet to-night to discuss the
ways and means. The invitation com
mittee will also meet in one
of the rooms in the exchange
to prepare its plan of work. The secret ;ry
will submit to the committee for its ap
proval, specimens of the different invita
tions and printing to be issued. As soon as
this matter is decided, the committee will
begin at once to distribute the matter
thr ugh the various business houses.
The executive board, composed of the
chairmen of the various subcom
mittees, will also hold a meeting to
night. In the absence of Chairman
H. W. Palmer, Capt. Jordan F. Brooks
will preside. Very nearly all of the ap
pointments have been completed, and the
chairmen of the various subcommittees are
at work.
A business man said yes erday that the
merchants are alive to tho importance of
the celebration, and they have manifested
an interest in it by attending the meetings
of the committees and suggesting ideas
which have been combined in the general
programme. The various committees are
open, achairman said, for suggestion* from
any of tho merchants or citizens for any
feature that will add to the week’s attrac
tions. All of the work seems to be well
organized, and the celebration will be more
generally advertised than it was last year.
Tlie transportation committee, under Mr.
Joseph Hull’s chairmanship, is at work ar
ranging the 1-eent a mile rate, good for the
entire week, from all points. As soon as
the different rates have been submitted they
will lie announced iu the Morning News.
The fireworks committee is in correspond
ence with several firms, and will no doubt
give an unusually fine display on account
of the competition. The fireworks on Mon
day and Tuesday nights will be given to
two different firms, and the firm that
makes the best display will be awarded a
prize.
The merchants are ready to respond, a
business man said, as soon as the finance
committee makes its call, and as soon as the
necessary details have been perfected the
canvass will begin.
BT. NICHOLAS DAMAGE SUITS.
The Taking of Testimony Resumed

morning at 11 o’clock before Commissioner
Christy, and with the exception of the din

Richard Butler was called, as he had not
completed his evidence the day previous.
He was submitted to a rigorous cross-ex

in his review of the events connected with

language rather beyond tha depth of hi3
"ell of knowledge, there were some humor

A LAWYERS’ NEED.
The Lack of a Law Library Felt by
tho Savannah Bar.
It is a surprise to visiting attorneys to
Savannah to learn when they come here
that there is no local association of the
Chatham county bar. This accounts, too,
for the lack of a law library—something
which is keenly needed here. Few cities of
the size aud importance of Savannah ore
without an institution of the kind. The
county commissioners, in constructing the
new court house, thoughtfully provided for
room for a law library, believing that after
awhile tho lawyers will take the matter in
hand and establish a library.
In a talk with A. R. Lawton, Jr., which
drifted into the subjsco of a law library,
Mr. Lawton said that tiie Savannah bar
ought to establish one. He said that it
would be a great saving to attorneys, as by
the present system attorneys who Keep up
their libraries must buy the same books, an
expense which a law library would avoid.
Tnere is quite a loss, too, from frequent
borrowing from those who have full li
braries, and tho borrowing is sometimes
annoying and embarrassing.
Some years ago, Mr. Lawton says, there
was considerable talk of establishing a law
library, but the older members of the bar,
who have good libraries, declined to aid tho
enterprise, and as the young lawyers could
not get it up themselves, the project was
abandoned.
Few cities in the country have as complete
a catalogue of law books as the bar of Sa
vannah could contribute to a law library if
there should be unity of action. It would
be more than a nucleus, for
there are several law offices in
the city which could unite to
store the shelves of a law library with books
running back into the statutes of the time
of George 111. and down to the latest state
and United States reports. It is believed
that if two or three of the active and in
fluential members of the bar would enlist
themselves in the enterprise the library
could be established very shortly after the
new court house is ready for occupancy.
CAN’T WHISTLE IN AUGUSTA.
The River Steamboats Will Have to
Muzzle Their Whistles Now.
The Savannah river steamboats are hav
ing a hard time of it in Augusta. They
have been compelled by' law to discontinue
the protracted blowing of their whistle* in
the city, a privilege which the mariners
have always enjoyed.
Last year charges were brought against
the officers of the steamboat Katie in Mag
istrate Davis’ court, claiming that they
blew their whistle long and loud, and at
most disagreeable hours, which was a groat
nuisance. Asa result they were put under
bond to discontinue the nuisance.
A similar suit has again been brought
against the officers anu pilot of the Ad
vance. Tr.e pilot, Ed Richardson, claimed
that he didn’t handle the whistle, and Capt.
H. A. Strobar and Mate Thomas L. Swinton
were accordingly put on trial. At or near
ing the case Judge Davis dismissed Richard
son and put the two officers under “good
behavior” bonds of S3OO each—in which they
promise not to disturb the neighborhood of
the river any more with unnecessary blow
ing of their whistles.

Nearly all diseases originate from inaction
of the liver, and this is especially the case

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6,1800.
RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Master of Transpor'ation O. W. Jackson
of the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway is iu Jacksonville.
J. A. Macdonald, private secretary to
General Manager Gabbett of the Central,
has resigned, and it is understood will
engage in the mercantile business in Macon.
Mr. Moiese, nephew of President Raoul,
and formerly yard master of the Central at
Macon, has been apDointed train master of
the Columbus aud Western.
F. S. Jette of Montgomery, formerly
with the Western railway of Alabama,
arrived yesterday to assume the duties of
chief clerk in General Manager Uabbett’s
office.
General Master of Transportation W. W.
Starr is making an extensive trip over the
Savannah and Wo,tern division of the
Central. He was in Columbus yesterday
inspecting. He is expected in Savauuah to
night.
A slight collision between two freight
trains occurred on tho Savannah, Florida
a id Western railway yesterday, between
Jesup and Waycross. T e engines were
going very slowly, and neither was thrown
from the track. The damage was very
slight, a id the engines brought their trains
iuio Savannah last night.
It is understood that Mr. Phillips, of one
of tho large railr ad systems in lex is, will
be appointed trainmaster of the Central
main stem, witn headquarters at Macon, in
a short time. Ever since the place was
made vacant by tho appointment of J. H.
Averill to the South Carolina superintend
ency of the Central, E M. Averill, hii son,
has been acting trainmaster in Macon.
Col. John C. Haskell has filed in the
clerk’s office in the United States circuit
court at Charleston the answers of the de
fendants of the first mortgage and income
bondholders to the petition and complaint
of Fred Bound, at whose suit the receiver
for the South Carolina railway was ap
pointed. Thb answers recite the recent his
tory of the road, aud admit nothing, with
the exception of certain immaterial allega
tions of the complaint.
Quito a happy event took place at the
Central railroad offices in Augusta Monday.
The employes of the Port Royal and West
ern Carolina had banded together to do the
handsome thing by Supt. D. D. Curran,
who leaves them for a position of greater
responsibility. The forces wers assembled
together, and Mr. Curran was asked to come
to the front, after which ha was presented,
iu an eloquent speech, a handsome solid set
of silver beating the superintendent’s
monogram. The superintendent’s little
daughter was remembered with a pretty
brooch. It was a strong testimonial of the
regard held for Mr. Curran by his subordi
nates, and was also telling evidence of his
kindness and popularity. His reply
was from the heart. He dis
liked to leave such pleasant surroundings,
but duty’s call must be obeyed. After the
pi .--"'.tatiou Mr. and Mrs. Curran held an
informal roception, bidding all a friendly
farewell. Col. Averill has assumed charge
of the Augusta division.
A special vestibule train made up of a
Pullman drawing-room, two sleeping cars,
dining car, and a baggage car, bearing a
party of seventy, passed through over the
Savannah, Florida ad Western railroad to
Jacksonville yesterday noon. It was a
special excursion by the Pennsylvania rail
road. The party will remain two weeks in
Florida visiting different points of interest.
Passenger Agent Kennedy of the Long
Branch division of the Pennsylvania rail
road had charge of the excursion. The
passengers were from New York, Philadel
phia, Baltimore, Washington, and other
points on the Pennsylvania system. The
tourists are relieved of all responsibility
for their passage and the movement of their
baggage by the tourists’ agent, aided by a
chaperon and a special baggage agent. Tho
route of the vestibule special is over the
Pennsylvania railroad to Quantico, the
RichmonJ, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad to Richmond, the Atlantic Coast
Line to Savaunah, and the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway to Jackson
ville. After the train is made up in New
York, no one is received for passage. It is
wholly a pleasure train for those on board.
They sleep and dine on the car, and own it
while they are en route to and from New
York and Florida. A tourist ticket from
New York to Jacksonville on the special
train is SSO, from Philadelphia it is S4B.
The tourists are put off in Jacksonville and
left to pursue their own course until the
20th, when the party returns. A guide
specially detailed is placed at the disposal
of guests on the train, arid serves through
their trip in Florida. The train that went
down yesterday will return in two weeks.
Two more special trains from New York to
Florida will run on the 18th and March 4.

NEW Y ORICJ
WRITES Installment Endowment Poll-les,
guaranteeing to the iusurad Hie payment;
of $5tK) to $15,000 in cash at the end of ten years,
and similar sum* each subsequent period of tent
year*. These policies, which aro for terms of
twenty and thirty years, furnish iuxmance for
SI,OOO to $30,000, ami carry Annual Non foE'slt
able Cash Dividends.
For example; A thirty-year Installment En
dowment for $30,000, at the age thirty dive, r>-
qu res an animal premium of $ ’ .206 99. For ten
years the holder is insured for $ 000. He t hen
receives from the company $15,000, and has had
ten dividends.
He pays the same premium for ten years more,
and receives $15,000 cash and ten dividends.
The Interest on the first installment of $15,000
received from the company, will pay about one
haw of the premium during the second period
of ton years.
At the end of the second period of ten yearn
the Insured has received $ JO.ouu from thv Com
pany, the Interest on which will pay all the pre
mium* during tlm third ten-year period. Ho
then receives an additional sls,ooo—a total of
s4s,ooo—and for thirty years has been Insured
for $30,000, auymentrd by accumulations from
dividends.
Should he die within the second ten
year period, the Company would
have paid him a cash endowment .. $15,000 O)
And amount of policy 30,000 0®
duqmenfetl by dividend ut’cumilla
tions
Total, $45,000, and dividends to be
added.
Should he die within the third period ot
ten years the Company would have
paid him a cash endowment $30)000 00
And the amount of the policy to his
heirs or estate 30,000 OOi
Augmented by dividends.. . I
1 1
Total, SOO,OOO, and dividends added.
An Installment Endowment may be vu-ren
dered while in force (after three years) for urn
many tenth part* of the amount of the policy
as there have been full ye*r’U premiums paid,
e y. : A policy fur $:|0 1 000 after five years from
the beginning of any ten-year period rally bo
surrendered for a paid-up policy for $16,000,
which would entitle the bolder to $7,500 at end
of the ten-year period If living, or $15,000 fn tha
event of his dying before tho completed period.
Careful men are deterred from taking policies
with dividends deforred from ten to fifteen and
twenty years, by prudential motives. The dan
ger or possibility of not being able, from mix--
fortune or accident, to carry out for ten t a
twenty years, the severe condition* of a tontine
policy, aud the absence from the policy itaolf of
any binding obligation on the part of the com
pany to fulfill the promisee of its agents, are
sufficient reasons for rof using such a contract.
Tho Installment F.ndowmnnt has ample pro*
yision for Its protection, which recommends ic
to the public a* a safe and honest contract
for the insurant, as also a profitable one for hina
who seeks both life insurance and endowment.
