GORDON' mf,n on tor.
OLD SOLDIERS GO WILD OVER HIS
ELECTION TO THE SENATE.
Tile Bulletin Boards Anxiously-
Watched While the Voting Was in
Progress-Congratulatory Telegrams
to the New Senator -The Pen Which
Gen. Gordon Used While Governor
Treasured by One of His Admirers.
Gen. Gordon’s election to the United
States Setia’o was hailed with delight ia
Savannah yesterday.
Most of the old soldiers anxiously awaited
the news from the capitol, and were making
constant trips to the newspaper and tele
graph offices, hoping to get the joyful
tidings that tho confederate hero had once
more been honored by the people he loved,
and for whom he has made such sacrifices.
When the bulletin announcing the elec
tion of Geo. Gordon was pasted ou the
Mon.unto News bulletin board at a little
before 3 o’clock the news spread through
out the city like wildfire, and old veterans
clasped each other by the baud in congrat
ulation, and their faces beamed with the
pleasure that was thrilling their frames at
the success of their old leader.
Any one who was laboring under the im
pression that Gen. Gordon did not have
friends in Savannah would have had that
illusion quickly dispelled by taking a walk
around Bull and Broughton streets yester
day afternoon, where many of the gov
ernor’s old companions in arms gathered to
talk of the great battle just wan.
Col. Peter Reilly was probably the most
enthusiastic man in the city, aid ho kept
himself posted ail day by telegraph on how
matters stoo i. He has always bean a great
admirer of Gen. Gordon, and when he re
ceived a telegram from Maj Kyals an
nouncing the election of the man of May
12, Col. Reilly wont to the telegraph office
and forwarded a message to Gen. Gordon,
congratulating him on his victory.
“I never w avered once,” said OoL Reilly,
speaking to a representative of the Morn
iso News, “in my faith in the general’s
election. I felt satisfied that the people of
Georgia, when il came to the point, would
not forget Gen. Gordon’s devotion to their
interests in the time they needed that de
votion. It is a glorious victory, and lam
proud of tho action of the legislature.”
Col Reilly was only one of tho many who
expressed similar sentiments.
Another enthusiastic man was T. H. Mc-
Grath, who brought to the Morning News
office a pen- which the new senator has used
on many < cca ions to sign bills presented
to him while governor of the state. Mr. Mc-
G-ath purchased the pen at the sale of the
old capitol furniture in Atlanta last
March. He proposed to keep the
pen as long as he lived, not so much for its
individual value, but on account of the
sentiment connected with it in having been
used by Gen. Gordon. He was delighted
lieyond expression at the outcome of events,
and believes Gen. Gordon one of tho great
est men of America.
At the meeting of the Confederate Veter
ans’ Association last night the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
That the secretary be requested to forward
the following telegram:
Gen. John B. Gordon, Atlanta, Ga.:
The confederate veterans of Savannah, in
mass meeting assembled and w.th hearts loyal
to our united country, send congratulations to
the “Man of the 12tb of .May.” God bless him.
STREET CARS COLLIDE.
Whitaker Street Cara Run Together
on the New Houston Street Switch.
Cars Nos. 3 and 10 of tha City and Sub
urban hue collided on the switch on
Whitaker and New Houston street at 5:45
yesterday afternoon. One of the borsos
attached to No. 3 was badly bruised ana
bled profusely from his wounds, but the car
escaped without damage
No. 10 was not so fortunate, and had
the glass in the front door and
windows smashed, the dash-board
badly bent and one of the window
frames wrenchod off, where the horse drove
his head against it. Several passengers
were in No. ill at the time,and escaped with
out injury, although they were considera
bly frightened.
Car No. 10 had run on the switch, and
was waiting for No. 3to pass. The double
tree of No. 3 got loose before the car
reached the switch, and frightened the
horses, which became unmanageable. Tho
driver, iu trying to regain control of the
animals, was pulled over the dashboard.
Before any one had time to get to the
front pf tho platform tbe horses had dragged
the car on the ami side of the switch with
No. 10, and almost immediately there was a
collision. The maddened horses ran up on
tbe front platform of No. 10 and drove their
heads against the glass, smashing it to
pieces. No. 10 was driven back about five
feet.
The escape of the driver of No. 10 from
injury was miraculous, as he was too fright
ened to leave his position, aud was found
stauding between the two horses after the
crash, without even having been touched.
The accident caused a good deal of excite
ment in the neighborhood, aud one schedule
was lost in righting matters. The injured
hor-e was taken tottie stables for treatment,
aud after the broken glass was swept out
car No. 10 resumed its run.

need apply. Apply immediately at office of
United States Signal Observer, Savannah, Ga.
That about expresses the desire of the
average Savannahian. Tho November hot
wave has becomo as monotou-us as it is un
usual, but the excess temnorature con
tinues to pile up at the rate of 10* to 15’ a
day above the normal. Yesterday was a
regular summer day almo.t, the maximum'
temperature 79 u , and the minnimum fid”.
Tbe mean was 15“ above tho normal.
The continued hot weather is extremely
unpleasant as well as unhealthy. A singu
lar feature of this spell of weather is that
there was almost an epidemic of bad colds
at tbe beginning of the warm weather, and
in nr st cases the sufferers are still afflicted
with the colds, and are unable to get rid of
them. It would seem like the cold weather
is necessary to cure the colds. The average
maximum temperature in this district yes
terday was 80‘, several points reporting 82“
maximum.
The same state of weather prevails
throughout tile southern states, with the ex
ception of Texas and Arkansas, which seem
to be enjoying somewhat cooler weather.
The signal observer predicts fair and
Slightly cooler weather for to-day.

THE DAT OF CORPORATIONS.
Over Seventy Charter* Granted by
the Superior Court in tho Cast Year.
Inc rp .rations seems to be the order of
the day. It is an off week, indeed, when
Clerk C'arr of the superior court does no
have two or three petitions for incorpora
tion filed at his office, and sometimes they
come in tiatches. During the last three or
four months there has been a regular epi
demic of incorporations, but there has been
a let up during the last few weeks.
The clerk's books show that there have
been seventy-one orders of incorporation
granted during the last year. Several of
these were to firms and enterprises alrecdy
actively engaged in busin ss and several
others to a soctatious of a benevolent char
acter, but the majority of charters granted
were to new enterprises which propose to
engage actively in business.
Loan and real estate companies predomi
nate, but the new enterprises are of a varied
character. The list presents some interest
ing figure’. There are 22 real estate,
land and investment companies and 8
loan and building companies. Chemical
and patent medicine companies 3, phos
phate mining companies 4, brewing com
panies 2, manufacturing companbs 5, brick
and lumber 2, naval stores 2, oyster com
panies 1, busiueis houses 7, stevedore com
panies 1, secret societies 2, labor organiza
tions 1, benevolent and charitable associa
tions 7, library associations 1, temperance
1, and churches 1.
The aggregate capital of the new enter
prises is about 11,230,000, with privilege of
increasing to about five times that amount.
Nona of the companies place their capital
stock lower than #5,000, and several name
their capital at SIOO,OOO. Home of the
latter class are boa fide institutions of the
most solid character. This indicates unusual
activity in business in the line of new enter
prises, especially in land.
The best proof of the solidity of the com
panies is that very few of them depend
upon public subscription, but in most cases
the incorporators expect to put in tho money
themselves to carry out tho objects of the
enterprise, expecting to realize upon the
returns of their investments.
Perhaps the number of new enterprises
may partly account for the stringency in
the locul money market, as, if one-half of
the chartered companies have begun busi
ness they must have withdrawn a very
large amount of money from the usual chan
nels.
INJURED BY AN ELEVATOR.
William McOants Has Hie Wrist Bro
ken Through His Own Carelessness.
About 10:39 o’clock yesterday morning
William McCantc a young man employed
as receiving clerk by A. B. Hull & Cos., on
Bay street, was severely injured by being
thrown from the elevator, which he boarded
iu disregard of orders.
William Miller, a colored drayman of the
house, was bringing the elevator down
when it suddenly stopped about
four feet above the second floor.
Miller, not knowing what caused
the stoppage, jumped off. Mr. J. M.
Dixon, one of the firm, was on the ground
floor, when the stopping of the elevator at
tracted his attention. Tie started up to see
the cause and remedy it, when he saw
McCants in the act of getting on. Mr.
Dixon called out to him not to board tho
elevator until he could see what the trouble
was, but McCants paid no attention to the
warning and jumped on tho platform.
As he did so tho car started on a down
ward rush, throwing McCants on his face.
When tho elevator struck the basement
floor it rebounded, and the young man was
thrown across the room. His left wrist was
broken, and he is supposed to be injured in
ternally by the jarring he received.
Mr. Dixon summoned Dr. Brunner, and,
after his injuries were drossed, had Mc-
Cants taken to his home, No. 149 Perry
street, where Dr. Owens took charge of tho
case.
The elevator is operated by gas power,
and the trouble is supposed "to have bon
caused by the cable getting caught around
the cylinder. Had McCants heeded Mr.
Dixon’s warning the accident would not
have happened.
SOLOMONS & CO. ROBBED.
Burglars Go Through a Market Bquare
Drug House.
Solomons & Co.’s drug store, at the corner
of Congress and Barnard streets, was
broken into some time betweeu 12
and 5 o’clock yesterday morning
aud robbed of several dollars, the
cash register, a $25 suit of clothes belonging
to I. A. Solomons, and a coat, the property
of Joseph E. Harty, a clerk of the establish
ment.
At 5:30 o’clock Sergt. Reilly and Patrol
man Williams disc >vcred the reir door in
Congress street lane open. The officers
entered the store and made a thorough
search, but failed to find the thieves.
The burglars effected an entrance by
cuttiug out the glass of tho transom, after
which one of them climbed into the store
through the opening, and unbolted the
door for Ilia companions. The party who
went through the transom must have been
a boy, as tho openiug would not permit of
any ordinary sized man entering.
After getting into tho store the burglars
carried the register into the back room,
where they rifled it. They took all papers
aud letters out of the stolen clothes and
scattered them over the floor, where they
were found by the policemen.
The burg!a s must have been novices at
the business or else were scared off by some
one passing, as thoy could have secured any
quantity of articles of far more value than
what they carried off.

The foreign exchange market is still un

posted at the cotton exchange, they were
merely nominal. There is a steady im
provement, however, in sterling, and a
healthier undertone to the street, which
was apparent in the increased purchases of
spot cotton, the sales reaching 1,557 bales
for the day, while the official quotations re
mained u,mitered. The money market is
still very stringent, but with the improve
ment of foreign exchange and free selling
it will ease up sufficiently to cover legiti
mate demands.

Interesting Ceremonies in Connection
With the Commencent of the Edifice.
The History of the Church-The Old
Church Built in Fifteen Days-The
Difficulties Under Which it Was
Erected.
The corner-stoDe of the new New Houston
Street Methodi-t church, now in course of
erection, was laid yesterday afternoon at 4
o’clock, with fitting ceremonies, in the pres
ence of a large crowd of people.
Besides the pastor, Rev. David
F. Riley, there were present
Dr. W. 8. Bowman of the Lutheran
church, Rev. J. F. Dripps of the Inoepend
ent Presbyterian church, Rev. T. H. Bleuus
of the Christian church and Rev. A. M.
Wynn of the Wesley Monumental church.
Dr. Bowman opened the exercises with
prayer, after which the people sang, “All
Hail the Power of Jesus Name,” followed
by prayer by Riv. J. F. Dripps.
HISTOHT OF THE CHURCH.
Rev. D. F. r.iley then road a short his
tory of the Ne .v Houston street Methodist
church, prepared by Rev. J. W. Simmons,
first pastor of the church. Tho old church
was built in January and February of 1877,
through the efforts of Rev. J. W.
Simmons, then assistant pastor of Wesley
Monumental church and city missionary.
His work led him to see the uece-sity of a
church building in that part of the city,
and he urged the matter at a meeting of t ie
Wesley Monumental church about tho lat
ter part of January and met with a hearty
response, S4OO being subscribed for the
work at once.
A building committee consisting of Rev.
E. Hight, C. H. Dorsett and David
Porter was appointed, and the liberal
contributions of Robert Mclntyre and
others made the building possible. The
erection of the building consumed just fif
teen days, and the church was dedicated on
the fourth Sunday in Febru iry, just one
month after the suggestion was made to
build. The following Sunday a 3unday
school wai organized with 100 members,
and Gen. George P. Harrison was elected
superintendent, which position he held until
his death. Rev. J. W. Simmons seriei the
church during 1878 and 1879.
THK PRESENT PASTOR.
The history of Rev. D. F. Riley’s connec
tion with the church was read, he having
assumed charge Jan. 1, 1890. It has been
through his efforts that the new building
has been secured.
Rev. Mr. Simmons’ history of tho church
and the history of Rev. Mr. Riley’s connec
tion with it were placed in the box, which
was deposited within the oorner-stone, as
wore also lists of the board of stewards of
the church and of the church officers.
Among other articles placed in the box
were a photograph of the old church and of
Rev. J. W. Simmons, a photograph of the
old church as remodeled by Rev. J. P.
Wardlaw. a copy of the Morning News of
Sept. 1, 1886, containing an acoount of the
terrible earthquake of Aug. 31, a eopv of
the Morning News of Nov. 18, 1890, a
copy of the Savaunah Local, a picture of
Rev. D. F. Riley, a copy of the minutes of
the South Georgia conference of 1889, a
copy of the Wesleyan Advocate and one of
the Christian Advocate, and several coins.
THE CORNKR-STONK.
Col. R. D. Walker laid the corner-stone.
The cap bore tho inscription:
Corner-Stone Laid
Nov. 18, 1350.
Built By
J. K. Eason.
Rev. Mr, Riley, in a brief talk, said that
while the Methodists of Savannah had been
very liberal toward New Houston street
church, the now building is being erected
by the porsonai sacrifices of the members
of the church. Men who are not receiving
over $55 per month have giveii
$75, anil men who do not own the
houses iu which they live have
given SIOO. He was not at liberty to men
tion names, but the marked liberality of
some men in Savannah had made the
building possible, and embled them to im
prove upon the designs at first adopted.
Short addresses were made by Revs,
Dripps, Blenus and Bowman.
In c inclusion, the people sang “God Bo
With You Till We Meet Again.” The bene
diction was pronounoed by Rev. A. M.
Wynn.
New Houston Street church has a good
location at the corner of New H uston and
Jefferson streets, in a quiet, residence por
tion of the city, which is building up rapidly.
The church has grown piinctpally by the
ingathering of newcomers to the city, most
of whom are people of small tneaus. By
the efforts of faithful and energetic
pastors there bas been a growth both iu
grace and numbers as well as age, and New
Houst ,n bids fair to occupy a prominent
place among the Methodist churches of the
city.
Contractor J. R. Eason is taking a great
deal of interest in his work. The walls of
the basement, have been erected and the
building will be rapidly ootnpleted.
It was desired to have a reunion last night
of all the pastors who had served the church
since its beginning, but as all the former
pastors are serving churches iu other por
tions of the state they were not able to be
present.
Services were held in the old church last
night by the pastor.

RAIL AND CROSS i’IB.
Capt. W. M. Davidson, general passenger
agent of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway, is in the city.
A passenger man who keeps well posted as
to the earnings of tbe important roads of
the country states that the Chesapeake and
Ohio aud the Northern Pacific show the
largest increases in earnings on coupon
business. The Increase thus far on the Ches
apeake and Ohio this year is 93 per cent,
over 1889, and that of the Northern Pacific
64 per cent.
The Railway Review says the descriptive
writer who essays to do up the wonders of
western scenery in exuberant style is often
sorely troubled for lack of adjectives, and
sometimes doubles oi his tracks in an
amusing manner. Thus in a too descriptive
description of the Manitou caverns, he says,
they are located “amid come of the most
scenic and diversified scenery contiguous to
this place.”
The engine which went through the
Guadeloupe bridge last week, remarks the
San Antonio (Tex.)|JE<"prr., seems,like the
proverbial cat, to have nine lives. This
makes the eighth accident which has oc
curred to it iu as many years, and she will
again be repaired and put ou the road.
While the wreck at tlie Guadaloupe is
about the most complete which has ever
taken place iu Texas, and it was thought
at first everything that went down was too
hackly smashed for renewal, it has been
discovered that tho engine struck the only
soft spot on the river bed. The nine carß
wh.cii went down with No. 60 struck the
solid rook bod of the river, but the engine
landed on a small sand bar. It was going
north when the accident occurred, but in
the fall executed a somersault and lies
headed south. The engine has been in
tnree collisions, two wrecks, been turned
over twice and at last gone through a fifty
foot bridge. Its original number was 49.
hut this was changed to 90 to break the bad
luck. It will now probably be given an
odd number.

UNDER MR. BATEMAN’S BSD.
Tho $12,000 Worth of Diamonds
Found in the Chamois Bag.
From the New York World
Mrs. Arthur E. Bateman of 3 Fifth
avenue has recovered her splendid diamond
necklace, which disappeared last week, and
for the alleged stealing of which the French
nurse, Louie Lachat, is now unmr com
mitment. BuJ the case has lost none of its
strangeness or interest because the diaiu >nds
were found, in fact, the finding adds to
tbe mystery. For Mrs. Bate can announced
yesterday to the police, aud t.:e oolioe an
nounced to the public, that the diamonds
were found in the chamois bag with the
white satin draw string, under Mr. Arthur
E. Bateman’s bed, where he has been lying
ever since the family came home from their
sea trip.
The Batemans are unwilling to say much
about the finding, and the police are equally
reticent. The facts, osgiveu out, are these:
After the trial in Jefferson Market police
court on Saturday morning, much resulted
iu the commitment of Louisa Locust for
trial under SIO,OOO bail, Mrs. Bateman re
turned home and departed for Tuxedo with
the children. Yesterday morning she re
ceived a telegram from her mother, who
was left in charge of the house and of Mr.
Bateman, announcing that the diamonds
were found. She came to the city ou
the first train aud met Detective Titus, and
the two went to Jefferson market police
court. Mrs. Bateman explained to Clerk
McGowan mat early in the morning a
servaut,, whose name has not been disclosed,
was cleaning up Mr. Bateman’s room—the
room in which he has been lying sick aud
which contains the tail, inlaid chiffonniers,
in which Mrs. Bateman put the diamonds a
week ago last eveulng. The servant lifted
up the curtain which haogs from the bed to
the floor all around. Near the head of the
bod, close by the outside post, was the
chamois bag with the white satin string.
The servant at once told Mr. Bateman, who
was lying in the bed, and handed him tho
chamois bag. He opened it and found the
$12,600 worth of diamonds.
“Now,” said Mrs. Bateman, addressing
Clerk McGowan, “the diamonds are found,
and that is all I wanted. 1 entered the
charge against Louise, the French nurse, in
sorrow and not in auger. My chief con
cern has been the loss of confidence in her,
and not the loss of the diamonds. 1 wish
to give her a chance to reform. I wish to
withdraw the charge.”
“But, mv dear madam,” said Clerk Mc-
Gowan, “don't you see that if you drop tho
charge iu this way tho girl will have a
chance to get back at you with a most
troublesome suit for damages? She can sue
you for false imprisonment.”
Mrs. Bateman hadn’t thought of that.
She hesitated. Then Justice O’Reilly took
up the matter and said he could uot allow
tho charge to be dropped ia that way, aud
that if she wished not to prosecute the girl
she must go down and see the district attor
ney and arrange it with him. So the matter
stands, and the chances are that the prose
cution will be dropped and the girl will go
free.
But the mystery remains, and tho latest
development givos rise to tne querv. Did
the Kronen nurse take the diamonds, after
ali ? And if she took them, had she an ac
complice iu the house? The whole case
against Louise Lachat was this: Mrs. Bate
man put the diamonds in tbe top drawer of
the C -iffounier in Mr. Bateman’s room.
As he was suffering from norvot.s prostra
tion he slept little, aud the slightest noise
would awake him. Twice in tne course of
three days before the discovery that the
diamonds were missing, Mrs. Bateman sent
Louise Laohat to the ohiffonnier, giving
her the key each tame. The girl each
time returned it to her with tbe things
she had been sent for. Mr. Bateman was in
bed in tbe room, and observed the girl at
the chiffon cier both times. As there was
but tbe one key to this drawer, aud as Mrs.
Bateman had not allowed it to go out of her
possession except on the two occasions men
tioned, the case against the French nurse
seemed very strong. The whole room was
searched, Mrs. Bateman even looking under
the bad where the diamonds were afterward
found. Then the girl was taken to police
headquarters, examined, and allowed to go
back to tho house to aid in the search. She
insisted that she was not guilty, and said
she was sure tho diamonds must bo in the
house. Hho did search carefully, was
watched all the while, but found nothing,
and was put under arrest.
BTATfI
OF
wsatbkh.
Inspector Byrnes thinks she must have
put the diamonds under tbe bed when she
was searching. This seems hardly possible,
when not only Mrs. Bate nan, her mother,
and sister were present on that Thursday
morning, but Mr. Bateman, awake and
alert, was lying in the bed. But, if the
girl did not put the diamonds under the
bed, then it must be assumed that, if she
took them originally, she gave them to
someone else, who put them there. Who
could have done this when Mr. Bateman,
suffering from insomnia and alert,
especially upon tho subject of
thieves, was in the bed? The
girl,' Louise Lechat, is apparently not a
clever woman. Bhe has a stupid but good
natured face. She was fond of the young
Batemans, and they have been crying ever
since she was taken away to be locked up.
The detectives say they found out a good
man}' things that are not to her credit. She
cannot speak half a dozen words of English,
and hod no friends among the servants on
that account.
Immediately after her visit to the police
court Mrs. Butcman departed again for
Tuxedo, taxing her diamonds with her. At
the house no one would talk on the subject
of the robbery.
