the CITY’3 FOOD SUPPLY.
Harlcet Produce Imnrovinc-Polntera
1 lor the Health Officials.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens’ San
j. r- Association reports the average
a lity of food produce in the Savannah
market for the week ending last night as
follows:
pressed beef and dressed mutton, average
0 d • also, dressed and liveDoultry, smoked
£.ll age. meat puddings, pickled beef,
nick 1 and tripe, tickled pigs’ feet, lish, crabi,
shrimp and clams. Greon vegetables were
abundant and excellent; also, tropical green
inspector says that the domestic
mutton hr uzht into the Savannah market
donn T the past week was of such excellent
ouaiit*' as to practically shut out western
c- Id storige mutton, spring lambs in good
condition,^from home pastures, being pur
c' a-ed by such customers as preferred deli
cacy of flavor to redun ,anco of fat.
The inspector reports, in reference to fish,
that on t-vo days during the week blac <-
fiVb and snappers came up to the market
y-esh and alive from smacks, which had
come into Thunderbolt. The proximity of
Savannah t > the blackflsh banks off Tybee
and sapelo, and the snapper banks
Fernandma, a run of
only a few hours from Savannah,
and the great abundance of fish reported on
these banks suggest the inquiry why the
Savannah market is not every summer sup
plied with fish, brought alive in smack weils
to Thunderbolt and delivered in the same
condition every day during market hours.
The inspector reports, in refere ica to
other sanitary matters in tho city, that the
citizens of S ivaunah would bo surprised if
aware of the great number of closets and
vaults without ventilators, and also the
large number of vaults in a foul condition:
he says that it is well that the city authori
ties " are bestirring themselves in
the matter of cleansing thorn. The
large number of these places
existing in violation of the ordinances, the"
inspect. r says, evince culpable remissness on
the part of the officials whose duty it was to
gee after the manner in which they were
constructed and kept.
Ttie inspector reports, in reference to the
areas of stores and cellars, that any 01 e need
but glance through the gratings around the
Gibbons block, on its Congress, St.
Julian and Whitaker streets sides,
to l.e awakened to the apprehension that the
city is either without drdinances adequate to
hygienic protection, or without officials who
will enforce them. On Whitaker street,
from Bryan to Bay lane, and on Bryan,
and St. Julian and Congress above
the market the filth accumulations present
a foul aspect. At the southwest corner
of Broughton and Montgomery street there
are accumulatio s which Pave collected un
til a number of orange trees of sjvoral
years’ growth are sustained by them.
THE RIVAS R AND HARBOR
Happenings Along the Wharves and
Among the Shipping.
A lady and gentleman, while in the act of
boarding a tug at the Central railroad
wharves last night at 7 o’clock, fell over
board, but were rescued by two gentlemen
who witnessed the accident.
Chr. G. Dahl & Cos. cleared yesterday the
Italian bark Michelino for Genoa with 3,440
barrels of rosin, weighing 1,602,010 pounds,
valued at 424 81, and 2,ooocases of spirits
turpentine, measuring 20,000 gallons,
valued at $7,000. Total valuation of cargo,
$15,424 81. Cargo by Patersoa, Downing

T. H. Enright having purchase! the open
yachts Sprite ami old Zi ga, has remodeled,
and is now painting and rigging them up
to enter the June regatta of the Savannah
Yacht Club. The Sprite is to bo named the
“Julia” and the other yacht the “May.”
The Mario is in good trim for the race, and
Cap:. B irnoy Mclntire, who built her at
odd moments after his day’s work, thinks
she is the fastest craft of her class in south
ern waters.
The tug Cambria has been libeled in the
United States ciurt by the master of a
Charleston schooner for a collision which
took place some months ago, when the
Cambria was towing another schooner to
sea. The aincunt claimed for damages is
sl,4oo,and Bryan & Bry in of Charleston and
Garrard & Meldrmi are attorneys for the li
bellants. Lester & Ravenel represent the Tow
Boat Company. The schooner which the
Cambria had in tow at the time of the col
lision has also been libelled, but service will
have to be had at Brunswick, where the ves
sel is now.
THE FISH SEASON OVER
It was a Ebort One on Account of the
Warm Weather.
The fish season is about over. There will
be no more business until about the middle
of August, a dealer said yesterday. There
w ill be some fish bought and sold, but the
trade will not amount to much.
The season has been short, not shorter
than the season previous, but the increase in
the trade which is shown every year w as not
apparent last season. The shortness of the
sea>on is attributod by dealers to the warm
w iuter. In consequence of it the country
orders were very short, and tho city orders
were considerably less than they were the
season previous. A warm winter is death
to the fish trade.
The season begins the middle of August
and continues until April 15. The business
is increasing every year and, it will be an
immense business in a few years. The new
railroads projected w.ll open new territ ry.
Besides, the increased railroad facilities
enables the dealers to supply a greater ter
ritory.
AT THE COURTS.
Gossip Picisi Up Here and There In
the Court Rooms.
A damage suit was in progress in the
• city court yesterday, and pending argu
ment and upon tne request of counsel the
case was continued until to-morrow. B. C.
b right sues the Charleston and Savannah
railway company for $325 damages, alleged
to have been sustained by plain’iff by one
of the defendant railway company’s trains
running over three blooded cattle near the
six-mile post.
Two decrees of divorce were granted in
the superior court yesterday.
Henry Toehl, a subject of the German
emperor, was admitted to citizenship in tho
su; erior court yesterday.
Judge Falligant, in view of the fact that
the May term of the Liberty county
superior court w ill begin to-morrow, ad
journed the Chatham superior court here
yesterday until next Saturday, upon which
day the court will adjourn for the term.
Fast Time.
The managers of the route known as the
Florida Dispatch” line, which means the
several steamship lines between Savan
nah and eastern ports and the Savannah,
Tiorida and Western railroad, deserves
much praise for the great dispatch they
give to freight. The last performance,
winch is hut a repetition of numbers of
nke instances, was by the steamship Kansas
Lity. The freight by this ship left New
ioik Wednesday evening, and was ready
*? r anchoring at Jacksonville at noon on
Saturday. Tho actual time between New
i nrk and Jacks >nvilio was seventy hours
and ten minutes. The freight for Palatka
■cached there Saturday evening; for San
rord at midnight, and but for Sunday iuter

deceived in less than live days from New

This splendid service is not only south
bound, but north as well. The Savannah,

IN OLD EFFINGHAM.
The “Fourth” to be Celebrated by the
Alliance and Clt zens Generally.
The Effingham cou lty alliance has asked
the citizens’ committee on the county din
ner to meet them at Springfield on Friday
next with the view of having a joint dinner
and a general celebration of the Fourth of
July. This proposition meets with favor,
and it Is predicted that this year the people
will witness tn old-time celebration of the
once "glorious Fourth.”
*ke confederate veterans are discussing
the propo-ition of having, at a later period,
au old-time Georgia barbecue, so as to
bring the survivors and their families and
friends together, and to have a barbecue
each year tor a general re-union.
The Methodist Sunday school celebration,
which was held during the week, was quits
a success, and reflected much credit on
those who had the affair in charge. The re
ports of the officers showed a marked im
provement, which was of a most gratifying
character, and proved that the senooi is
fuily alive to the Suuday school cause.
Effingham superior court is run on a very
economical scale, a3 the session last week
consumed but one day. It is argued that,
while the business of the court may not be
enough to continue the session longer, yet
the grand jury cannot well meet at a Thto
hour in tae day, organize an i give the
proper attention to county affairs in one
day. The question of applying
to have the county transferred to
one of the country judicial cir
cuits. it is said, is being discussed, and
the next representative in the legislature
from Effingham will be asked t> look alter
this matter. The Guyton correspondent of
the Morning News says it has been hinted
that if the court house is moved to ore if
the railroad towns the session might be held
long enough for the grand jury to give the
necessary attention to county affairs.
Editor James Dixon of the Talbottou
New Eva. with bis wife, has been visiting
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Rawls of Guyton.
Dr. L. D. Struttou has left Guyton and
opened a drug store at Pembroke, the
thriving little town on the Savannah and
Western road. Dr. J. B. Long of Athens,
son of the celebrated l>r. C. W. Long, has
taken the place vacated by Dr. Strutton.
RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
The early fast freight on the Central rail
road ran over and killed a white man
between Macon and Forsyth yesterday
morning. The man was on "the tr, ck, it is
supposed, and the crow on the freight did
not see him. He was found by the early
fast mail, which passed a few hours later.
The engineer on the mail train stopped
when he passe! the man. but upon examina
tion it was found that he had been dead
some time. The remains were taken to
Atlanta, but were not identified.
The corps of Central railroad dispatchers
recently put on in the Savannah office
handled the first trains on the Central and
Savannah and Western railroads yesterday.
Chief Dispatcher S. H. Hili is assisted by
Dispatchers Vandiver and Davis. Tne
former is from Macon and the iatter is from
the north. The Savannah office will handle
all trains from Savannah to Wadley and alt
trains on the Savannah and Western.
WHEN WOMAN IS SUPERBTXTIOUa
A Few of the Way a in Which that
Weakness Shows Itself.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
We were chatting away in the cosiest sort
of a fashion when to my intense surprise
my companion, a charmiug young woman
of 20, gave a little start as if suddenly
brought face to face with an unknown evii,
and rising hastily from her seat deliberately
made two complete revolutions, twenty
pairs of eyes looking on in amazement at
this erratic behavior.
“Good gracious,” I gasped, ns she resumed
her seat, “what is the matter?”
“Why, just look across the way,” she
whispered in a most mysterious manner,
“and you will see a cross-eyed woman.
Now, don’t you know,” continued the super
stitious little soul, “that to meet a cross
eyed mau or woman is sure to bring you
the worst of ill luck unless you break the
spell by turning around twice?’
Few people, I find, are superior to attacks
of superstition in one form"or another, no
matter how sensible they may be upon all
other points. These strange fancies come
from nobody knows where, and are too
often indulged in to the discomfort of
everybody concerned.
A luncheon, which promised to be a most
delightful affair, proved to be a miserable
failure, simply because the evident distre s
of the hostess at the breakage of the mirror
threw out of tune the harmony of the
entire party. Really, the poor woman was
an object of sincere compassion, as see de
clared with heartrending earnestness that
she was iu for seven years of bad luck.
Yon cannot get some women to under
take anything new on Friday, and so it has
g’ own to be for them a finishing up day of
all the odds and ends of the week, whether
iu a social or domestic se ise. I haVe a
friend who would feel I am sure, were she to
have the termeritv to b >ard a train upon
this unlucky day, that she was going to her
doom.
Not long ago I offered ta help a sister in
distress who had been suddenly and unex
peciedly called from home, but the offer
was made on the unlucky day of the week,
and tuadame’s face was a study to behold as
she exclaimed:
“Cut out anew gown on Friday? Why,
my dear friend, I should expect it to be
surely ruined. Have never known it to
fail.” she added in emphatic tones, and in a
jiffy the goods was whipped out of sight.
Sage receipts hang about love and matri
mony that must, it seems, receive the
serious attention of both sexes if they would
not blast their hopes of happiness for good
and all. Have you a delinquent sweet
heart, one whose passion is on the wane?
Then stick shining pins in a tallow candle,
says the “kindly witch,” put it carefully
away, and you will not have to wait long
for your truant lover. But, my dear girls,
take my advice and do not tempt fate by
putting milk in your tea before sugar. To
do anything so rash is to lose our sweet
heart for ever.
Who among my fair readers has been
guilty of the crime of flirting and is haunted
w ith the miserable fear that at an inoppor
tune moment a revengeful spirit may ap
pear upon the scene and upset all her nicest
calculations? Here comes a compassionate
friend who pities her distress, and suggests
that she drdp a silver dime in her left shoe
and let it stay there until the nuptial knot
is tied.
The girl who catches the bouquet that
falls from the hand of the bride as she as
cends the stairs to don her traveling gown
is the next whom fate places on the matri
monial list.
In Baltimore at a recent wedding where
I had the pleasure of being a guest, tho
bride’s bouquet was composed of as many
tiny bouquets as there were maid’s of
honor. Each cunningly concealed a souve
nir, and the maiden whose floral tribute
held a ring was immediately congratulated
and declared to be blesed beyond compare.
A gold piece found in the heart of a rose
signified that its gentle mistress was to be
rich feyond her fondest dreams. As she
was already heiress to a snug fortune, I
could not see that she was very much af
fected 1 y the news, but she was, evidently,
in tho eyes of the damsel who secured the
silver thimble that consigns the owner to a
life of single blessedness, an object to ex
cite tho keenest envy.
Up in the dainty dressing room ol’ the
bride the elaborate ceremony of bestowing
upon the first maid i t waiting the mystic
garter that bad sustained the silken hose of
the bride during the important occasion is
carried on amid rippling laughter and a
chatter of girlish voices that sounded like a
flock of magpies. The bride makes the im
portant transfer, whisp ring, as she clasps
the golden-hued circlet above the knee of
her nearest and dearest friend, all sorts of
prophetic promises.
It is from this custom that we find the
yellow garter gracing the toilet of half the
women in the country. In Chicago a lot of
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 18, 1890—TWELVE PAGES.
merry maidens have formed a club an!
call it the “J. J’s.” The young men are
puzzling tbeir brains in vain effets to un
ravel the myst -l ions problem. Now if you
are clever enough to look in your French
dictionary you wili find that the shy creat
ures have adopted jaune for ye.low, and
arretiere for garter—hence the mystery.
Emeralds denote separation, while opals
and pearls are stonos that even the bravest
hearted maiden shrinks from accepting as
an emblem of a plighted troth, and an old
English superstition iusists that a broken
engagement is sure (o punish the lover who
bestows upon his fiancee the unlucky gift
of a prayer book.
Many a blithesome courtship has been,
rudely nipped in the bud, says an authority,
by indifference to these garnered of
lore.
Take a peep within the charmed precincts
of a modern tea-drinking and you will find
the stablest matrons as well as frivolous
maids peering anxiously down into the
fragile china cups, industriously studying
their fate in the tiny graiusof tea that have
collected upon the dainty surface.
I meet with many women who refuse
to look at the cards until they ar- all dealt.
We have adopted the Scotchman’s belief in
the magical effect of the agate, and many
Americans carry one of these stones con
stantly about their person, while we are
indebted to the Japanese for our settled
faith in the chrysanthemum ns a flower of
good fortune.
But of all the ancient bits of lore that
have been handed down to us by our grand
mothers the one which not long ago put the
whole country on tho qui vive, for a whits
horse has died a natural death. Small
wonder, for even tho most ardent devotee
to superstition has been brought to admit,
that tne supply is not equal to the demand,
the red-headed whim of the hour having so
completely inundated the country as to
entirely overshadow the fascinating theory
of the white horse.
AN APPEAL FOR A BANJO.
A Girl Having Written in Vain to the
President Turns to Secretary Tracy.
From the Washington Star.
Cabinet officers get some queer letters at
times, but it is to be doubted whether any
one ever received an odder piece of corre
spondence than one which came to the navy
department this morning addressed to Sec
retary Tracy. It was from a young
'roman living in a town in One of the
western states. She wrote in a crabbed,
school girl hand, and had tied two bunches
of worstedstied to the purer, one of red,
white, ad blue, and the other of black and
white. Tho letter was as follows:
Hon. Benjamin F. Tracy:
Dkah Fill end— ln the first of my letter I must
say. On the 17th of December I wrot a letter
to President Harrison but 1 must sav 1 did *not
get no answ-r to it nor what I asked" from him
It was only a banjo. And I told him that I
would be expecting it in two * weeks. [The star
is evidently inserted for the purpose of empha
sis.] and I went th-ee times and was dislpointed
bo I got mad. my Papa and an other man had a
bet made when I sent the letter my Pa: a bat ten
Dollars that be would send the banjo and the
other man bet twenty-five Dollars that he would
only laugh at it and I guess he did so my Papa
lost ids ten Do but if you be kind enough
and please send me one if you please
and I would be very glad the man that
my Papa had the bet with w*as a Dem
ocrat—me not lam only ten years old. [Now
in red ink ] I hope you will not forget to send
mo a banjo it will not cost much I will be ex
pecting it and a answer to my letter as soon as
you can tell President Harrison that I am very
angry with him let him see this letter But dont
forget my in all your w ork my Banjo, this is
all at present answer soon red and black get a
banjo back when you write this is my address.”
Then iollow the name and address, accom
panied by the request “please excuse my
writing” and the fol.o wing postscript in mingled
red and black inks: “Perhaps you will be Presi
dent next I suppose iny Gramer was not good
aenought for Presidant out I hope you will not
think so dond forget my banjo I will go to
every Sunday dond forget dont forget if you
send it I hope you will eutar heaven.”
Tho secretary has not had time to repjv.

As announced in our Circulars delivered throughout
the city last week, the great sale of Dress Goods will open
to-morrow (Monday) morning, continuing until Saturday
night. J
* *
*
Of course any fair-minded, sensible person can fully
understand that we cannot alford to sell our entire stock of
Dress Goods at a loss, nor yet can we sell it out in one
week; still, at the prices whiqh the stock is now marked
down to, we will be heavy losers on every piece of Dress
Goods sold this week.
* *
*
The object of this sale is to feel our way, to see how
many goods can be disposed of at a forced sale. Our stock
of Dress Goods is at present twice as large as we ever be
fore had at this time of the year, consequently wewish to
get it down to proper proportions, and, as an experiment,
test the potency of cost and below cost prices as a medium
for moving goods.

We feel that after this week’s sale we will really bo
able to tell whether our stock is too large or not for the sea
son’s demands, and if so, the knife will again be used and
prices cut still lower.
