Association bare been filed in tbe cii j oourt
by tbe insurance com;anise which suffered
losses by tbe payment of insurance upon
cotton burned in tbe fire at tbe Lower press,
Oct. 8, 1889.
The companies are seeking to recover
from tbe cot’on press association tbe loans
paid, on tbe ground that it was responsible
for the safe-keeping of tbe cotton delivered
to it, and proper caution on its part would
have prevented tbe first
Tbe total number of bales destroyed in
the fire was 2,380, valued at 1140,017, which
amount is sued for. The following are tbe
glamtiffs: The United States Lloyds, tbe
ritisti and Foreign Marine Insurance Com
pany, tbe Universal Insurance Company
(limited;, the British and Foreign Marine
Insurance Com [any, the Marine Insurance
Company, tbe Insurance Compauy of North

Suit is brought in tbe names of the in
sured parties, to whom the insurance com
panies paid tbe loss, for the use of the in
surance companies which claim to have
been subrogated to tbe rights of the in

press companies,
The parties in whose names the suit is
brought are Strauss & Cos., Ralli Bros.,

William Bowers & Son, all of whom ex
cept tbe last two firms are of Savannah

It is pr- sumed that tbe insurance compa

the part of tne compress company, or that
ti.e company did not exercise ordinary care
with the cotton intrusted to its keeping.
No specific charges are made, however, and
the charges as made are couched in very
general i erms. They allege that the com
press company failed to redeliver certain
amounts < f cotton delivered to them upon
certain dates.
From a legal standpoint it Is neoessary
for the insurance compa des to prove t at
the oompress companies did not exercise
ordinary care in nrotec.ing the c >tton en
trusted to them from damage by fire.

is probable tbat the suit will be ried in

Gen Alexander .:ss.\'o Kaowledgeof
of la Rumored .-.eslgnat on.
Rumors still continue to circulate with
regard to Mr. Oabbe-ts resigned no as gen
eral manager of the Central railroad.
President Alexander was seen yesterday
morning by a Mornino News reporter and
was asked what there is in tbe rumor. He
said that moat decidedly there is nothing in
it so far as he knows. Mr. Gabbet.’s resig
nation lad not been handed in, and Gen.
Alexander said that he had no reason to
expect euch a move ion the part of Mr. Gab
bett. It is aimply the same old rum r, be
added.
With regard to the Central railroad Gen.
Alexander said there are no new move* or
projects in prospect just now. Everybody
connected with the road is kept hard at
work moving the Immense business now
bring bandied by the road. He sail the
Central is being taxed to its capacity by tbe
immense amount of cotton and other
freights offered it.
“It we canid only divide tbe winter busi
ness and do a oart of it in the aommer the
road would make more money," said tbe
president.
Pres.dent Alexander was asked about the
use of the id cotton yard now, and the fact
that the warehouses and wharves of the
Central railroa I are crowded.
“The Central railroad has a yard capacity
of 75, JOU bales,” he said. “It’s true that
the roal is now storing a larger quantity of
cotton tha > ever before, pr >bab!v, but there
will be no difficulty in storing all the oottm
brocgbt in.”
The yards and warehouses are necasarily
crowded now, as, with the recent immsnse
receipts, it was impasible for the ships to
carry out the cotton as fast as it comes in,
Tbe Ocean Steamship Company’s ships only
Carry au av-rags of 2,000 bales a day, and
It would .aka au iron tramp a day to carry
out the present receipts.
IN STATU QUO JUST NOW.
Paator Ellis Quietly Awaiting A
Settlement of Hia Church Trouble.
Pastor Ellis of the Greene Square
Baptist churoh was asked last night if it
is true that the troubles of the church are
to be settled by arbitration. He replied
that while this plan is tinder consideration,
no positive action has been taken in tbe
matter as far as he knows.
“Possibly my counsel may have arranged
otherwise,” said tbe Rev. Ellis, “hut if they
have lam not so informed. I have been
willing from the Commencement of the
troubb to have the ecolesiastical questions
in dispute settled by arbitration, aud so
positive do I foei of being in tbe right that
I suggested, as soon as t e affair started,
that a council of the Baptist ministers be
called and have both sides of the question
laid before them, and whatever their de
cision should be both factions agree to abide
by It.”
The anti-Ellis faction have not yet had
the threatened warrants sworn out against
the pastor, and he thinks that everything
will be amicaoly adjusted shortly.
Last Hund&y Bev. Ellis conducted ser
vices in the Odd Fellows’ hall,on Duffy street,
near Cuvier street, and there was hardly
standing room in the plaoe. The mayor
offered him polioo proteci ion if he desired to
have serv.oe in the church, but rat ner than
run tbe risk of having tne scenes of the pre
vious Sunday enacted, he secured the Odd
Fellows’ ball, aud will conduct services
there uatii everything Is satisfactorily Bot
tled.

Delayed by a Pile Driver.
Fast mail train No. 14 of the .Savannah,
Florida and Western railway du in Savan
nah at 12:14 o’clock, did not arrive yester
day until 3 o’clock, owing to a delay at the
Big Ogeecnee river bridge, about fourteen
miles south of the city. A pile driver bag
been for several days driving piles at the
bridge, and a side track bad been laid at
thss inborn end on which the maoniue wus
run whenever a train had to go over. Yester
day morning, wtiile being sidetracked pre
paratory to alio v> ing tbe fast mail to pass,
tue train jumped tjiie track about two teet,
and as the p le driver is a ponderous affair
it required nearly three hours to replace it.
N ■ serious damage resulted, and it was one
of those unavoidable accidents which can
not be explained.
bains Moving This Way.
Yesterday was cool aud bracing. The
maximum temperature in Savaunah was
67° and the minimum was 50° and the mean
was S* below normal. The day was gener
ally cool and fair in tbe south with the
exception of Texas, Mississippi and Arkan
sas, where there were heavy rains. The
Galveston district reported 1.38 inches rain
fall, the Nsw Orleans 1.35, the Vicksburg
.42 and the Little Rock .35. The rains ap
pear to be moving eastward over i he cotton
belt and it is probable there will be consid
erable rain in this section to-day. The ob
server’s forecast is for rain with stationary
temperature.

The will of the late Joseph Ehlen was ad

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1890.
AT TBS THEATER.
Jsrboau Delights Two Audiences.
“Macbeth” To-night.
Charming Yernona Jarbeau delighted two
j audiences yesterday at the matinee and
; evening performances in “Starlight,” in
! which she appears in the title role, and in
: which she is one of the most attractive aud
! vivacious of actresses. The theater was
weli filial both at tbe matinee and last
nignt and the p.av a <d tbe compauy were
encored wita en thus asm. It is seldom that
Savannah tneater-g >ers ar afforded an en
tertainment of the character of “Starlight’*
which is so thorouguly entertaining.
Wards and Mrs Bowers To-night.
One of the greatest attractions so far
booked for this season st the theater is
Kreden ok Warde aud Mrs. D. P. Bowers'
engagement to-night and to-morrow night
in “Macbeth” and “Henry VIIL” Mrs.
Bowers stands among tbe peers of actresses,
and Mr. Ward#, everybody knows
what to expect from him. The
sale of seats for the initial perform
aaoe has been large. In “Macbeth"
Mrs. Bower* uas made, perhaps, her great
est repat .tio and those who see her cannot
fail to see au artist and an interpretation
worthy of the name of tha play. It is now
about sixteen yara sn.oe Huakespeare's his
torical tragedy was given a worthy repre
sentation by £dwiu Booth, and over tweuty
since Charlotte Custnnau starred as “Queeu
Katbe ine” in the same play. Its revival by
Mr. Warde ad Mrs D. P. Bowers, botn
eminent stars in the legitimate
drama, will be an event of
interest in eritionl circle# in Savannah.
loe >ew and Courier says of the per
formative of “Henry VIIL” In Charleston
Monday night: Of Mr. VVarJe's ac
ting little need ba said. In tbe Character
of tha great Cardinal he was given ample
opportu ity to display all his anility, and
hi* conception and rendition of tne diffljult
role was a.most perfect. The famous scene
with Creui . ell m the fourth act was fault
leee.y presented, and the effect 'a, deeply
iuipre sive. The appiause was so loud and
continued wbej the cui tain fell that he was
compelled to appear again before the eu
thusias.ic audience was s itisfled. Mrs.Bow
c-ra piayed the part of “Queen Katherine”
wi.h uiucn feeling and Sue effect, and she
was oomplime ,teii with repented calls be
fore tbe curtain. On tbe w.ole, the rendi
tion was the most fi ished and the most gratl
fviug to the audience th.it has beeninod
of auy play at the academy this season,
ihe costuming was very rich and histori
cally oorrect in all details.
“The Great Metropolis."
The spectacular melodrama to be pre
sented at the theater Saturday evening,
with a matinee, is filled with scenes aud sit
uations of thrilling interest. A company of
capable actors and actresses is employed in
its representation. In giviug this play the
o unpatiy employs only its own scenery in
the numerous spectacular effects with which
the piece abounds. As to the effect pro
duced by “The Great Metropolis,” this para
graph is token from the Boston Globe:
As given at the Globe theater last
evening, it was not only the moßt realistic
but the cleanest play ot its kind ever seen
on this side f the Atlantic. The shipwreck
epis ide is one of tbe prettiest and gi anfiest
scenes ever placed ou any stage. Too much
can .ot be said of its realism. When the
curtain g es down on this act all the audi
ence stand up aud yell “Good.” Avery
large audience saw the performance. They’
ail stayed to the eud and called it good. It
was good.
“The Destruction of Rome."
One of the attractions of Barnum &
Bailey’s show, whioh will be here Oct. 30, is
a representation of Imre Kiralfy’s original,
stupendous, historical, spectacular, classic
drama of ‘Nero, or the Destruction of
li me,’ with 1,200 performers and nearly as
many animals. Its bullet of 350 maidens,
gladiators, liotors, Homan men-at-arms,
horses aud trappings, elegant cistume , an
cient armor and weapons, rich sceuery,
tableaux, and living leallstic pictures of
ancient Rome. Home ideas of the magni
tude, and also the colossal scale
upon which tne spectacle is presented
may be obtained from too following facts:
A huge stage 450 feet long is absolutely
necessary, and a monster tent to cover it
had specially to be constructed 555 feet 1 ng
and 300 feet wide, with a seating capacity
much greuter iha.i auy tent ever manufac
tured before. More than 1,500 performers
are engaged In this remarkable production,
including all the finest ballet da cers of
Euiope. Nearly as many wigs of human
hair, 8,000 different c >B. umen (two for eaeu
pei former) of the richest stuffs, the tallest
aud s:urdiest of men to imperso ate gladia
tors, the handsomest ladies, the most costly
horses, trappi igs, ancient armor, Roman
weapons, triumphant golden chariots, mu
sical instruments, elegant sceuery, in fact
everything that is likely to aid in formiug
a realistic pioture and faithful reproduction
of the scenes, iuoideuts, life aud pleasures of
glorious old Rome in the age of its blood
thirsty emperor.
An Office Little In Demand.
It is generally believed that a large num
ber of federal supervisors of elections will
be appointed by the circuit judge for the
congressional election in November, the
number to be appointed being entirely dis
cretionary with tbe court. None have been
appointed for tbe First district, sa far as
kuown.
A number of federal supervisors
were appointed for Savaunnh at
the last congressional election all
of whom ignored the appointments
aud unanimously failed to serve. The posi
sition of federal supervisor is oue of little
profit and loss honor, and is not much
sought after in this section.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
ORANGES ON THE MOVE.
: Tbe Shipment of the Fruit North Be
ginning.
Early shipments of Florida oranges to
tbe north have begun in a small way, and
the Kontheru Express Company is now
bandli ig about fifty crates duly. These
early oranges are the “drops” which have
filled from the trees in advance of the
mature fruit. They are shipped to Boston,
New York and Philadelphia.
Next month the shipment of Florida
oranges to the north begins in dead earnest,
and by the latter part of tbe month the ex
press oompany will be handling immense
quantities of tbe fruit, csu- loads daily, in
fact. This season i about the same as last
year with the arop, perhaps a little late.
In a talk Agent Coupe ot tbe express
company said to a Morning News re
porter last night that the facilities of tbe
company for quick handling of tbs orange
crop are the very best, and he anticipates
no difficulty in 'forwarding this season's
crop as rapidly os it is offered. Sbipme t#
are handled very quickly between Florida
and the northern point* now, a shipment
from Florida being landed in New York in
four days and Bo*t m in five days
By the present arrangement oranges
after reaching Savannah can be Imme
diately forwarded to New York by express,
by fast frieghts or ny the Ooeau steamships
here. The steamships afford about as satis
factory train p irtation as either of the
the other means mentioned, but
shippers generally prefer all rail ship
ments, and the hulk of the crop forwarded
from Savannah goes by the Atlantic Coast
Dispato.i Line, whioh conveys fruit,oranges,
and similar freight, by a s.ecal through
train from Savannah to New York. T.,li
train carries the fruit through, without
change, in tbs shortest possible time.
Mr. Cooper said that there are about as
manj- vegetables beii.g shipped north from
Florida now as there are oranges.
A FORMER SAVANNA QIAN DEAD.

merly of this city, at his summer home in
Cos uit, Mass., last Wednesday, isannou ced

CAPT. DOYL 4*3 PROGRAMME.
He Will Begin Stumping the First
District on Friday.
The republican executive committee is
arranging meetings for every oouuty in the
district, and from next Friday until Nov. 4
a thorough stumping canvass will be con
ducted.
Capt. Doyle will discuss the interests of
the agricultural aud laboring masses f om a
republican standpoint on Friday in Bruns
wick, where Col. Lester also speaks the
same day. From Brunswick Capt. Doyle
will goto Blaekshear, where he will hold
forth on Saturday, aud on Friday, Oct. 31,
he will address a mass meeting at Way
cross.
The Brunswick Times says that the re
publicans of that oity are confident that
Doyle will carry Glynn, wuile the denio
cra.s think Lester will have a waik-over.
The Doyle managers are ma- ing s .me big
assertions as t tbe number of votes the
republican candidate will receive in Cuat
ham, some tigu ing as high as 2,500. A
proini ,ent democrat was heard to say a day
or two ago that while he a Lester man
first, lust and all the time, he was willing to
oet the repu beaus would poll at least 1,800
votes in Chatham. A number of bets have
been made on the size of Col. Lester’s
majority in the district.

RAIL AND ORO3BTIE.
To re-elect their directors and officers, re
ceive reports of increased earnings, gross
and net, and bo informed that “the u-ual
quarterly dividend" at the rate of 8 per
cent, per annum would be distributed has
been the unvarying and pleasant pro
gramme of Pull.uan’s Palace Car Company
stockholders at their annual
meetings for many years —a
pleasing contrast to the changes,
uncertainties, embarrassments and losses
which have annually confronted most if not
all of the railway companies during the
same period. The capital stock of the Pull
man has grown to $25,000,000, which at
present quotation of 215 represents a value
of $53,750,000.
The question is frequently asked, says the
Railway Age, “What is the cost of a sleeo
ing curl" The report of t e Pullman com
pany places the cost of 101 sleeping, palace,
dining, special ad tourist cars pu: in ser
vice lust vear at 11,305,503, or an average
of $13,519 per car, which gives an approxi
mate idea of the expeuse of these different
classes of cars, comprised in sleeping car
equipment. But more definite information
in regard to sleepers alone Is give in the
statement that orders have been pieced at
the company’s works for 119 Pullman cars,
the estimated cost of which is about $16,50)
each. The wonderful proportions wuich
this company’s business has reached are
indicated by the statement that the num
ber 1 4 cars employed in the service is 2,135,
of whioh 4,849 are standard and 286 tourist
or second-class cars.

Microbe Killer:
Dear Sir—l have been suffering for
years with a complication of diseases which
originated from a diseased liver. I had
dysentery, bloody flux and inter al tumors.
I consultad some or the must eminent phy
sicians in the city ad used their medicines
for a long time wit hout getting any relief
I was finally given up to die, when a friend
advised me to try the Microbe Kiiler As
the last res >rt I gave it a trial, and the
relief it gave me was wo derful. When I
commenced to take the Microbe Killer I
only weighed eiebty-six pounds; my pres
eut weight is 148 pounds, and I am restored
to my usual good health.

The Glass Sale a Success.
Not all closed out, however, though onr
success and the great number of our visitors
were highly gratifying to us. This week
will oontiune the Glaa ware and Crockery
sale, and a general clearing out of odd arti
cles in Bric-a-Brac and fiue ornamental
goods. These who have not thus far
availed themselves of our invitation should
not allow this week to pass without a visit
to Our Second Floor. The collection of
rare and beautiful novelties displayed is
worth beholdi g, merely from an artistic
standpoint, even though you may not want
or may not buy a single article, which,
however, will not render your visit less
pleasing to us. A promenade through our
jewelry and silverware show room on first
floor will uot lie amiss either, ai you will
see much and derive, we think, sufficient
pleasure from the visit to compensate for
your trouble in coming. We also display a
superb line of Onyx Clocks and Tables,

are very low, as you will find ou inquiry.

—Barnum says that the American people
like to be humbugged. It must be on that
theory that most of the clothiers are work
ing. For a judge of goods to read their
advertisement it seems the very essense of
humbuggery.
*****
—Well, they may think any means is fair
in i-usiness as long as it brings grist to their
mill; but humbug does not thrive, not in
business. You may humbug a man that is
no judge of what he buj3 once, but never
the second time.
