ENDED IN A MISTRIAL.
THE JURY IN THEE BUTTIMER CASS
FAILED TO AGREE.
Twenty-two Hours of Deliberation in
the Jury Room Not Enough to Con
vict or Acquit Buttimer, and the
Case Goes Over for Another Trial.
Rumors as to How the Jury Etood.
HcMurray’a Statement as to His
Citizenship.
At 11:30 last night, when it was found
that there was not the remotest possibility
of the jury in the Maurice Buttimer case
coming to an agreement, the jury was
brought from the jury room into the court
room, and, alter the court had satisfied
himself that there was no hope for an
agreement and that the issue was one of fact
and not of law, a juror was withdrawn and
a mistrial was declared.
Humors were plentiful as to how the jurv
stood, but the only authenticated statement
at the late hour when the jury was dis
charged was to the effect, that from the
time it went out at 1:30 o’clock yesterday
morning there was no change in the bal
loting, the vote being substantially the tame
on the final ballot as it was on the first one.
HOW THE JURY STOOD.
It was reported about the court house
yesterday afternoon that wnen the jury
went out they stood seven for “stabbing
not in his own defense,’’ and five for ac
quittal, and that later the vote was eight to
four.
A court official said last night that the
rumors were incorrect to his knowledge, as
there were two jurors in favor of a verdict
of assault with intent to murder on the first
ballot.
Solicitor General Fraser s id last night
that while he will be unable to try the case
again at this term, he proposes to bring it
to an early trial at the next term of the
court.
Tne defendant in the case did not attempt
to conceal bis interest in the result of the
jury’* deliberations,and when the Mor'cino
News court reporter loft the courthouse
shortly before 3 o’clock yesterday morning,
Buttimer remained in anxious expectancy,
and he was in and about the court house
pretty much all of yesterday.
M’MLRRAY’S CITIZENSHIP.
Referring to the citizenship papers of Mr.
McMurrny. which figured in the trial of the
Buttimer case, which the court refused to
admit in evidence, Solicitor General Fraser
says that the question was asked of McMur
rny if it is true r false that he came to this
country in ISBO, and he answered: “It is
false.” There was not oulv no evidence as to
any citizenship paper admitted by the court,
but the judge refused to allow counsel for
the defendant to discuss the matter before
the jury. Mr. McMurray did not state
that he had sworn falsely in any affidavit
that he had made tor tne purpose of get
ting out his naturalization pipers, aud us
such evidence was before the jury.
Mr. MoMurray says that he is prepared
at any time for any investigation of his
citizen papers, and to fully meet any charge
which may be brought against him in con
nection therewith.
NIPPED BY LIGHT FROSTS.
Bean and Potato Vines Wilted, but the
Damage Not Serious.
There were light frosts reported from the
country yesterday morning and the pre
vious morning, which nipped the beaus aud
potatoes, but from the best accounts did not
seriously damage them.
W. 1,. Exley says that he noticed the
effects upon tiie bean plants and young
potato vines, which were drooping after the
lrost of Thursday morning. He says, how
ever. that us 1 >eans are not yet in blossom
the damage will be inappreciable.
Mr. Exloy says that the crops are badly
in need of rain, and that tiie ground has
not ■been throughly wet since last August.
Crops, however, are looking fairlv well,
considering the drouth, and he thinks that
some beans aud potatoes well be ready for
shipment to the northern markets within
three weeks, but he does not expect them to
1 going forward with much activity before
May 15. Potatoes of earl v plantings may
begin to go forward earlier. First plant
ings are now about as large as quail’s eggs.
Potatoes did not stand well, as Boston seed
potatoes this year rotted, and many had to
replant.
The cold weather, Mr. Exley savs, pretty
thoroughly destroyed the cabbage crop, aud
Maj. G. M. Ryals seems to be the only
plautor whose cabbage came out w ell not
withstanding the three successive freezes.
Hart Bros, report light frosts about Mou
teith yesterday and day before yesterday
mornirg, and they say that while the frosts
did not seriously damage the beans aud
tender potato vines just out of the ground,
they wilt certainly have the effect of re
tarding the growth. Hart Bros, do not
expect to see any very extensive shipments
of beans and potatoes before Mav ‘JO to 35.
PHOSPHATE IN CHATHAM.
Something That Closely Resembles it
Discovered on the Exley Plac?.
Frank Exley is inclined to think he has
discovered a phosphatlc deposit on his place
on Black creek, thirteen miles up the Sa
vannah river, in this county.
W. L. Exley. a brother of the owner of
the land, says that the deposit is mixed with
marl, and is 1 eated on what was once a
swamp, and that the deposit is a mixture of
cretaceous and marl formation. The Exley
brothers in thor excavating explorations
dug a hole about ten feet deep into the
deposit without any sign of a variation in
tbe formation, and wifi explore the deposit
still deeper with an auger used in such
work.
The color nnd general appearance of the
deposit approximates very closely that of
the bene phosphate from the Florida phos
phate fields, and it is the Intention of Mr.
Exley to have analysts made of the marl as
soon as he finds to what, depth it goes.
Any extensive phosphate discoveries so
near the city, both by rail and river, would
create a boom in this section greater than
the phosphate t>oom in Florida. Mr. Exley’s
land where the supposed phosphate has
been found is near the Charleston aud Sa
vannah railroad and within a mile of tbe
Savannah river, and the stratum is expen
sive aud deep and close to two lines of
transportation. It could be miued and
shipped at a minimum cost.
GROUND RENTERS PAYING UP.
Close to $30,000 Paid Into the Treas
urer's Office Under the Compromise.
The ground renters are takiug advantage
of the liberal discount, allowed them by the
city council and are flocking in to the oitv
treasurer’s office and paying tho balance of
the purchase money'due on their lots and
taking fee simple deeds. Up to the middle
or tbe last week 815,845 87 had been
paid into the city treasury in this
way and up to tbo time of clos
ing the office yesterday this amount
Ji oen r swo '' en to within a fraction of
*30,000. Thert remain two and a half
we-jks for grouud rent lot holders to take
advantage of the thirty psr cent, discount,
and it is predicted that the receipts from
this source between now and May 1 will be
very heavy,

COL. BROWN MADE MANAGER.
The Savannah Construction Company
Fills an Important Office.
The directors of the Savannah Construc
tion Company, for the building of the South
Bound railroad, held un important meeting
yesterday afternoon, at which CoL Mike
Brown was elected manager, and one of the
prominent members of the board said last
night that acl.ve work rcay be expected in
a very short rime.
The preliminaries are gradually being ar
ranged for the more active operations of
locating the line and constructing the South
Bound.
The directors and stockholders of tbe
South Bound Railroad Company will hold a
meeting at the office of Denmark, Adams &
Adams at 4 o’clock to-morrow afternoon, at
which business of importance will be trans
acted.
The election of Col. Brown as manager of
tbe construction company was the subject
of favorable comment on the Bay as soon
as the news was circulated, and it was gen
erally conceded that ho has earnd the prize
for his long and persistent offorts to enlist a
favorable sentiment here for the enterprise,
and it is predicted that if
the South Bound is not rapidly
constructed it will lie through uo lack of
zeal and energy on the part of the manager.
He nor only had the support of the major
ity of the Savannah directors, but it was
learned last night that he also had the sup
port of t he out of town directo-s.
The Barnwell People, anticipating the
election of Col. Brown as manager of the
construction company, says: “The South
Bound people have done well in making
Col. Mike Brown manager of the con
struction company that is to build the road.
He Is only 33 or 33 years of age, but ho car
ries an old and level head ou liis young
shoulders. Ho has in a rare measure the
gift of quickly and eorroetlv g asping situ
ations, aud executive ability of very high
order is another marked characteristic of
his personality. He is thoroughly educated
in business principles, and his many Caro
lina friends have every confidence that his
future will achieve success by deserving it.
His election for that important position is
an assurance that the road is going to be
built, well, quickly and surely. We shall
listen for its whistle before Christmas comes
again.”
STILL ANOTHER COMING.
Col. Maehen to Build from Macon to
Savannah.
CoL E. C. .Maehen, president of the
Georgia and Atlantic railway, was expected
in the city yesterday, but as he did not ar
rive it is believed that he has not yet
returned from Now York, where he went
recently ou business connected with his
railway enterprise.
The activity of the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic people has stirred up the Maooti
Construction Company to renewed aetion
looking to the extension of the Macoa and
Birmingham road to this city, aud VV. B.
Sparks, president of tho Macon Construc
tion Company, is now in New York per
fecting his arrangements there looking to
breaking ground early on the Savannah
extension.
A Morning News reporter was shown a
letter yesterday from a well informed
source in which the writer said that the
Savannah extension from Macon will be
built, and that Sparks has money behind
him at his command to insure the con
struction of the road.
The Macon Mews, which may be said to
be the oracle of Col. Maehen, intimate, that
h: proposed to build a road from Macon to
Savannah. Referring to the visit of Col.
Maehen and Mr. Sparks t.o New York, it
says: “Tho visit of both of these gentlemen
may be in reference to the building of a
railroad irom Macon to Savannah, thong a
they evidently intend to act independently
of each other, and have itt contemplation
tbo buiidiug of independent lines.”
It also says that while Col. Maeheu has
been actively engaged at work on the
Middle Georgia arid Atlantic, he has not
been neglectful of the Macon and Savannah
road, a:ri a3 no already has hu charter, and
bis forcei are in the 11 Id, the race becomes
interesting as to which party will be the
first to build anew road between Macon
and Savannah. „

The Theater Treasurer’* Benefit and
the Local Entertainments.
The first theater treasurer’s benefit ever
given in Savannah will be that to the treas
urerof the Savannah Theater on Wednesday
• night. The Music Concert Company, one
of tbe best concert companies that visits

.•erttever heard in thi* city. M. Music is

Sarasate.
His company includes Annie Louisa Tan
ner, Charlotte Nicolai, Signor Bologna and
Edouard Keharf. Miss Tanner is a great
favorite in Savannah, as is Signor
Bologna. The company has recently been
in New Orleans, and the following is the
notice of iiustn there: “The gifted virtuoso
is not only a genius, but tbe most aaiiabie
of men, for he answered the repeated en
cores which greeted him until exhaustion
compelled him to cease. In the days of
Paganini popular fancy credited him with
the friendship of a ‘familiar’ or demon who
dwelt within bis instrument and furnished
the wonderful sounds that emanated from
it, but Musin’s violin is under no demoniac
influence, on the contrary, its guiding spirit
is a heavenly chorister; from no other
source could come such delicious gradation
of expression, such accuracy, sued sympa
thetic tones. There is a subtleness, quick
ness, grace, strength and lightness of touch
in Musin’s method of executon that is super
human, aud then again be Is so happy in bis
selection of pieces, ho varies his programme
so that all may be pleased; while he lets his
soul revel in classic gems, he does not dis
dain the simple melodies loved by non
artists, and und ;r his magic bow these
breathe new aud unsuspected beauty.”

AN OLD CROOK CAUGHT.
Detective Wetberhorn Makes Short
Work of "Graaay Bill” Rob arts.
Wm. Roberts, better known as “Greasy
Biil,” a colored crook, was arrested yesterday
by Dectective Wetberhorn, for the iaremy
of a gold watch and chain, #S in money, a
$25 suit of clothes and some cigars trout J.
H. Scherer about tbe middle of last month.
Justice Naughtiu committed the prisoner to
the county jail. Detective Wetherhoru re
covered the stolen property.
Roberts owes bis incarceration to the re
vealment of a forgery which led uo to his
identification as tho one whom Mr. Scherer
had ii his employ at tbe time of tbe theft.
Roberts sent, an order to Dryfus Bro;.
for a pair of ladies’ shoes, signing J. H.
Scherer’s name t o the order a id getting the

TO START ON JUNE 1.
Drygoods and Millinery etoroa to
Close Then at 6 o’clock.
The early-closing movement is now a
fixed fact. The principal drygoods and
millinery houses have signed an agreement
to close their retail departments at tt o’clock
p. m., except Saturdays, when they wil
close at 10 o'clock p. m., commencing June!
1 and continuing until Oct. 1, inclusive.
The following houses have signed tbe
agreement: A. R. Altmayer & Cos., Mor
rison, Foye & Cos., Gusiave Eckstein At Cos.,
Jackson, Metzger & Cos., Daniel Hogan,
Millius &. Cos., C. Gray <v Son, F. Gutman,
Croban & Dooner, "L. Dezbouillons, S.
Krouskoff, P. J. Goiden.
The sales people are highly elated over the
prompt and early announcement of their
employers, and are quite -satisfied with the
hours and season, and grateful to the mer
chants, and to the ladies who have done so
much to enlist public sentiment in favor of
early dosing dui ing the summer months.
It i* understood that nearly 1,000 ladies
have signed an agreement that they will
not do their shopping uor attempt it after
the hours daring tne season which the
merchant*’ agreement has fix and, and the
ladies are circulating this agreement in
every direction to strengthen the move
ment.
The association cf dry goods salesmen
will hold a mass meeting at Turner hall Tues -
day night, at which it is understood they
will, i-i appropriate resolutions, express
their gratefulness at the position taken by
the ladies, the merchants, the press, and the
pulpit,which has led un 1 1 the success of the
eanv closing reform, and pledging renewed
fidelity to the interest of their employers
and studied courtesy to the snopping pub
lic.
S. D. Sutherland, president of tho
Salesmen’s Association, said yesterday in
referring to the merchants’ agreement that
it will stimulate every one of the salespeople
to greater effort to please the merchants
and their patrons, and that the pleasant re
lations between employer and employed
will now be more firmly riveted. He says
the early closing movement, soon to cuter
upon its second season, will be so satis
factory to all concerned that hereafter,
during the summer seas ms, there is little
doubt that it will be maintains i.
Referring to the closing of the stores at
10 o’clock on Saturday nights, Mr. Suther
land says it will enable many of the saies
people to attend morning service on Sun
days, who, under tho old system of closing
at 11 o’clock, were unable from late hours
and fatigue to attend. When the stores
were closed at 11 o’clock, after a hard day’s
work, and half tho night, goads had to be
arranged on the shelves and counters, and
often it was midnight before the tired sales
people could get out of the stores, many of
them having long walks home, aud iu no
condition to get up early aud dress for
church. The Saturday nigat feature of
the merchants’ agreement is one which is
meet acceptable to the sales people for the
reason stated.

A SITS FOR A CITY.
A Grand Piece of Land for Investors.
In the angle formed by the Ogeechee road
and the Charleston and Savannah railroad
there are 133 acres of land, which are as
Dretty as a picture. Only about one mile
from the streetcar line that ends at Battery
park, and the Charleston and Savannah
rail way passing through the land,it presents
greater chances for speculation tiian any
property in the vicinity of the city. Con
sidered as a truck farm, it presents a beau
tiful aspect, as level as a floor, aud as free
from stumps as a gentleman’s lawn. Per
fectly drained and in a high state of culti
vation, with unusual shipping facilities, the
truck farmer has an ideal place for his
operations. As au investment by a syndi
cate, it is capable of being developed to a
large percentage of profit. It is in complete
condition for platting, and a settlement
peculiarly web adapted for railroad men
could bo started at once. For locating
manufacturing enterprises, its large rail
road frontage makes it very desirable, and
the outlook seeins to promise In the near
future an increase of that frontage by tho
new line of road now being surveyed. This
flue ‘property will be sold on 15th i:ist. by
C. H. Dorsett. — Adr.

Tbe Title Guarantee and Loan Cos.
Of Savannah has entered upon the third
year of its existence with a fine record
During the two preceding years by prudent
management the company earned over $6
upon each share of stock, equivalent to over
13 per cent, per annum upon the amount of
capital actually pail in; this, too, after
paying the extraordinary expenses incident
to the organization of the institution and
fitting up its banking rooms. The company
receives deposits at auy time and allows
interest thereon from the first and fifteenth
day of the month after the deposit is made.
Insurance of land titles is a prominent
feature of this institution. For a small fee,
payable only once, titles are guaranteed for
all time. (Ifllce. 135 Congress street.— Adv.
A Handsome New Building - .
Maj. Johu Schwarz will commence early
in May tbe erection of a four-story brick
building, ninety feet front on Bull street
and a depth of sixty feet on York s;reet.
Mr. Eichberg, the architect, has now in his
office the drawings, which show by far the
handsomest business buiidiug in the city.
The drawing will be on exhibition next
week. These stores are being erected for
and will be adapted to the business of
Messrs. Davis Bros., who will occupy them
on or about Nov. 1, IS9O. Messrs. Davis
Bros, will fit them up with all tho modern
conveniences; steam freight and passenger
elevators, their own electric light plant,
steam heaters, speaking tubes, call bells,
etc., a complete description of which will be

Absolute Perfection
Belongs only to deity, but we term perfect
those things which are the be3t the brain

These a: e the be3t things man has produced
each of its kind. In the same sense our
Goodyear Welted Shoes are perfection.
They are tho best over produce 1 in the way
ot shoemaking. Price for ladies and gen
tlemen Goodyear Welt Shoes $3; for misses,
$3; for children, #1 75 and #1 50. Savannah

you will find them iu there very conspicu

attractive footgear suitable for spring and
summer.— Adv.
The Masses Appreciate
The fact that tho clearance sale of Messrs,
Davis Bros, is a bona fide offer, over #30,000
worth of goods to bo disposed of. The only
reason these goods are placed n the market
is that Messrs. Davis Bros, could not secure
for their use, pending the erection of their
new stores, au eligibly situated building
large enough to accommodate their large
and varied stock. After May 1 ail stuez
unsold will have to be stored away for the
summer. Their printing office and Old
Homestead has been removed to 137! j Bay
st e t (upstairs). The firm’s business office
will be on York street, back of Kennedy’s,
in one of the estate of Henderson’s stores.
The remainder of thor stock will be stored
away in thsir warehouse, opposite Gucfceu

“O, lore! in such a wilderness as this.
Where transport and security entwine.
Here is the empire of thy perfect blits.
And here thou art a God ind-ed divine. ”
The past week was certainly a great one
for wedding presents. We do not think
that wo ever sold so many reallv elegant
and costly ones in as short a period in our
experience. The whole city seemed to
realize at ooee that Sternberg's grand col
lection of very appropriate ar icles began a
new era In the jewelry and art lines in Sa
vannah. Our stock is still unimpaired in
quantity, quality or variety. Our display
of silver has proven a revelation and our
nerve in bringing such a stock south has
elicited words of praise os all hands. We
have only been wide awake, that’s all;
we decided to make a break from old tradi
tions, as we felt that nothing it too good
for Savannah. Our ware-rooms consti
tute a rote exhibition, with the advantage
over most expositions of being free to all,
and we even urge visits of Inspection, even
if you need nothing in our line.
