MAY DELIVER THE BONDS
A DECISION IN TANARUS: E CSNTRAL'S IN
JUNCTION CA3B.
The Rsstra'nlng Order to Prevent the
Delivering of $13,000,0,30 of Central
Bond? to tho Central Trust Comp *ny
of New York Dissolved and the In
lutiction Refused—lhe Facts In the
Cass and the Argument The
Grounds for the Court's Decision.
Judge Falligant rendered a decision yes
terday in the injunction case of Ridgeway
Smith against tbs Central Railroad and
Ranking Company aud the Central Trust
Company to prevent the delivery of
113,000,000 of bonds issued to the Central
Trust Company of New York, dissolving
the temporary restraining order and re
fusing the injunction, bolding that the
Central has full powers under its charter
and amendments to deliver the bonds.
The case briefly stated is this, the Central
is jointly and severally liable for #5,00 ',OOO
7 per cent, bonds, which will mature Jam 1,
1893, known as tripartite bonds of the On
trai Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia, the Macon and Western Railroad
Company aud the Southwestern Railroad
Company, secured by mortgage
on the railroads of the three
companies, the issue having been
authoris'd by a special act of the legisla
ture, approved Aug. 30, IST’.
The Macon and Western has since been
consolidated with the Central and the
Southwestern railroad is under lease to the
Centrsd, so that the whole debt is virtually
a debt of the Central.
The Central also owes a floating debt of
upward of #3,000,000, created in large part
In a ing the construction of the Savannah
suu Western railroad, which it claims to
have been authorized to contract under its
powers derived from the consolidation of
the Macon and Wes.ern with it, the latter
being a work of internal improvement au
thorised by tke state laws.
THE BONDS ISSUED.
The Central has issued the $13,000,000 5
per cent, bonds, secured by deed of trust, to
the Central Trust Company of New
York, and proposes with these bonds
or their proceeds to take up
the #5,000,000 tripartite bonds as
they mature, aud to fund the #3,000,000
floating debt at a lower rate of interest; the
balance of the issue, about #0,000,000, to re
main In the bands of the trust company,
which shall, from time to time, certify and
deliver the amounts to the railroad, or ite
order, as requested upon the certificate of its
president and oashier, accompanied by a
resolution of its board of directors, reciting
that the proceeds of the bonds are to be
used in payment either of some part of the
present existing indebtedness of the railroad,
or of some indebtedness hereafter con
tracted by it, for its use.
ISSUED UNDER THE CHARTER.
The petitioner admits in the argument
the power to issue mortgage bond* and that
the power can be exercised, under the char
ter, by the board of directors without ref
erence to or ratification by the stockholders.
He claims, however, that by the ter.i s of
its charter the Central cannot at any time,
unless specially authorized, create debts
amounting to more than three tima6 its
capital stock actually used for banking pur
poses; that the charter limited the amount
of stock to be used for banking purposes to
#850,000. Consequently, the deot on that
basis could only be $3,550,000; that this
added to the #5,000,000 tripartite bonds ad
mitted to te legal make* the authorized
debt only #7,55 ),000. The inference is that
there is an overissue of $5,450,000.
The old banking system contemplated the
issue of bank bills and a possible dividend
on the stock used for banking purposes
apart from dividends on stock used for rail
road purposes, and restricted the amount of
stock that could be used for banking pur
poses uutil the completion of the road to
Macon. Much of the reason of the law- has
been swept away by the tide of events. In
the court’s judgment, after the completion
of the road, the entire capital stock repre
senting the property of the company could
have been used under the charter for bank
ing purposes.
the judge’s opinion.
He added: “Therefore, the limit claimed
passed away under the terms of the charter
upon the completion of the road. Certainly
the whole capital stock is now the basis of
the banking privileges. There is no such
thing as a paiticular amount of stock ap
plied to banking purposes. Dividends
are declared on the whole stock. If
the principle prevails that the stock used for
banking purposes is the multiple of the
authorized debts, thou the limit is three
times the capital stock of #7,500,000. In
this view, the contention of petitioner fails.
But. in my opinion, the power to issue these
bonds has a broader foundation. It rests
upon the charter augmented bv the act of
1845 and the act consolidating the Mac.:n
and Western railroad with the Central.
There is no doubt that by the consolidating
act with the Macou and Western, the Cen
tral railroad acquired the right to aid the
construction of the Savantiati aud Western
as a work of internal improvement author
ized by the laws of Georgia.
“The act of 1845 granted a two fold set of
powers. One set applied to the proposed
extension from Macon to,tne Chattahooclie ,
under the entity “the new extension stock,’’
with limitations and liabilities expressly
confined to the projected enterprise. The
extension, it is admitted, was never con
structed and that set of powers having
never been exercised, the liabilities and
limitations have no vitality. The other set
of powers were directly and permanently
conferred on the Contra! by this amending
act, and among them as follows:
And be it further enacted by the authority
aforesaid that said company may, in its discre
tion, issu 3 bonds on receiving loans of money
for its use.
ALREADY PASSED UPON.
This poer has beeu passed upon in con
nection with the general power to mort
gage in a case decided by Associate Justice
Bradley of the United States supreme court.
The counsel in that case is the counsel for
the petitioner in this. The validity of
mortgage bonds issued by the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad Company was hotly assailed.
That company derived its powers in this
regard, by reference, from the then existing
chartered powers of the Central Railroad
and Banking Company, so that tho power
granted DY the act of 1845 was necessarily
involved in the adjudication. Tne whole
chartered Dowers of the Central Railroad
Company as to bonds and mortgages, save
the above-considered limitation, were under
investigation.
Justice Bradley said: "No express power
*o borrow money was necessary, for that is
implied in the creation of all business cor
porations, although, in fact, express power
was given to the Central Railroad Company
in December, 1545, to borrow money on its
bonds, and this power by the terms of its
charter was, therefore, conferred upon the
Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad Com
pany, and hence unon the consolidated At
lantic and Gulf Railroad Company. Wo
think the mortgages are valid, and a lieu
upon the entire road of tho company,” etc.
This power is ample—its limit the discre
tion of the company. There is no reason to
assume that thesurplusof bods issued will
be illegally disposed of. The trust is ex
plicit and guarded. Tho fact that the bonds
•re ready for occasion is no reason for eu
joimng their legitimate use.
Holding, that the Central Rail- road
and Banking Company of Georgia has
full and ample powers under Its charter and
amendments constitutionally bestowed, to
issue these bonds and secure them by the
deed of trust. Judge Falligant ordered that
the restraining order be dissolved and the
temporary injuuctiou refused.

MISSING WITH HIS MON BY.
! Nelson, Morris & Cos. l ose Their Col
lector and S2OO or More.
P. R. Robbins, collector for Nelson, Mor
ris & Cos., the Chicago meat packing house
aud cold storage company, on West Broad
street, bus disappeared, leaving the com
pany out $l7O or more. The last seen of
Robbins was Thursday afternoon, when
Manager Weynsss of the packing c unpany
saw him driviug and .wn Habersham street in
the company’s gig, which be used in making
bis collections.
Robbins had good reason to drive away
from Manager Wavnoss, as the extent of
his peculations and his intentions to dof-aud
the company had becom • fully known to
the manager, who was very anxious to ap
prehend him. Mr. Weyness put the casein
the hands of Detectives iiasch and Wether
horn, who i.egan a search for the defaulter,
but without success.
Robbins ha, been in the employ of the
c ild storage company fir several rn inths.
He has been in the city about a year, and
was previously employed on the Ocean
•Steamship police force and later as a stre-t
car driver. Ho secured a place with the
cold storage company because he was from
Cincinnati and had some acquaint
ance with some of the employes
the e, who had great confidence
in him and could hardly believe in his dis
honesty even when they had it frjin his
own lips. Robbins mav have gotten more
than #l7O from the company, but that is
the extent of the peculations discovered so
far. One hundred dollars was in a lump.
About two weeks ago Robbins effected
SIOO from J. E. Creamer, a M mtgomery
street butcher, and receipted for it.
He also oollected sl9 from S. Gard
ner, a market butcher, and receipted for it.
He did not report these collections to the
office, and last week the cold storage com
pany sent out notices to the butchers that
unless their accounts were paid they would
be blacklisted. Replies were received in
short order from Poth butchers that their
bills had l>oeu paid, and they bold the com
pany* receipts for the same.
Robbins was called on for an explanation
and flatly denied having colleoted the bills.
While the manager was cross
examining him Mr. Gardner came
in and produced his receipts
with Robbins’ signature. Nevertheless
Robbins flatly denied the signature. Mr.
Creamer also produced a receipt showing
that he had paid the SIOO due by him.
Robbins was not placed under arrest,
however. In the meat, while ho had taken
out several C. O. D. orders, and pocketed
the money which he received on their de
livery, When called upon by the manager
to turn over the money he positively refused
to do so, saying that the agent of the com
pany, who was not in the city, was the ouiy
man he was responsible to, and he would
turn over the meney ouly to him. He
afterward reconsidered, however, and
turned over the amounts received for the
C. O. IX collections, but would make no
satisfactory explanation of his collection of
the larger amounts. Believing that he
could bring aronnd and secure
the money he had oolleoted
the manager did not order his arrest.
However, when Robbins loft the office
Thursday afternoon he became suspicious
and started out in pursuit, but without suc
cess.
Robbins is believed to be In hiding in
the city. He had a lame foot, which was
injured by a horse stepping on it at the
races Merchants’ week. Robbins was at
the prize fight on Hutchinson Island last
Sunday, in which it is said he
took considerable interest. There was
a cry of police at one time during the fight,
ar.d Robbins ran fifty yards, according to
his own report] to an acquaintance, before
he thought of his lame foot.
Detective Hanley is at work on the case.
The detectives believe Robbins to be still in
the city and expect to catch him, as his
lame foot is a very inconvenient thing for
him to have just now.
ALLOWED TO FINISH ITS LINE.
Mayor McDonough Explains the Sani
tary Board’s Grant to the Electric Line
The fact of tho Electrical Railway Com*
pany continuing work on its line since May
1, although the ordinance strictly forbids
the upturning of soil after that date, has
caused considerable comment for several
days, particularly so from tho fact that the
City and Suburban and Belt I.iue roads had
been refused permission to continue work on
their lines.
Mayor McDonough was askod about the
matter yesterday. He said that the
sanitary board had considered and
refused the application of the eleotrical
company to extend its lines, but had
granted it the privilege of completing its
connections across streets and making
turnouts. This had been done only after
tho oompany had cle irly shown that it was
a work of absolute necessity in order to
operate tho road.
The Belt Line and City and Suburban
stated, tho mayor said, that they could get
along during the time of prohibition with
out the projected improvements, and
the sanitary board considered
that as loug as it was not a necessary w ork
it should not be allowed. "This is the case
in a nutshell,” said the mayor. “There was
but little excavating required for the work
of the electrical road, aud had it not beeu
allowed the line would have been practically
useless.”
A profusion of lime was used everywhere
any of the soil was disturbed in order to
provent any possible dangerous results.
ORGANIZER OF AGENCIES NOW.
Bupt. W. H. Logan of Bradatreet’a
Agency Promoted.
W. H. Logan, who has been superintend
ent of Bradstreet’s mercantile agency in
this city for the last eighteen months, has
been promoted to the position of special
organizer of agencies. His work will bo
mostly in the south for the present, and
will cons.st in tho opening of t.ew ollle -s
and the building up of the company’s busi
ness.
Arther J. McDonald, who has been chief
clerk to Mr. Logan, will take charge of
affairs to-morrow as acting superintendent.
He was c nneeted with Bradstreet’s agency
in Atlanta before coming to Savannah, anil
is thoroughly np on all commercial mat
ters. Mr. Login will remain in the city for
about ten days to assist Mr. McDonald ia
getting the run of affairs.
Since Supt. Logan took charge of the
Savannah agoncy the business of the office
has more than doubled, which was due to
his efforts. His promotion is a deserved
compliment to his ability.

Baltimore for $2,250,000.

for $2,250,000 to the Mercantile Trust and

DIXON BACK TO THE CAMP&
, The Fugitive Convict Turned Over to
the Penitentiary Authorities.
W. A. Starns, transfer guard of the pen:-
| tentiary, arrived in the City yesterday
morning and left last night by the Savan
nah, Florida and Western railroad for Em
! pire with Robert Dixon, the escaped njgrc
convict captured by Detective Wetherhorn
; on April 35.
Solicitor General Fraser wrote a letter to
Gov. Northen several days ago about the
apparent negleot on the part of the Chatta
hoochee oompany about returning Dixon to
the penitentiary. This letter the governor
turned over to the principal keeper, who
sent Mr. Starns after the convict. In speak
ing of the allair yesterday to a Morning
News reporter the transfer guard
said the Chattahoochee company had
acted properly in the matter from the
beginning. The company advertised a re
ward of #SO for Dixon delivered at its
camp, and it was willing to pay that
reward if Detective Wetherhorn had com
plied with the provisions of the reword.
“As it is,” said Mr. Starns, “I am now
prepared to pay Detective Wetherhorn his
reward, minus the expenses to take Dixon
to camp, which will be something in the
neighborhood of sl4. It is the custom to
have all oscajied convicts returned to camp
before the reward is paid, and had Detective
Wetberhorn complied there would have
been uo trouble about the affair."
Mr. Starns expects to capture Mingo Mel
rose within a fsw days. Melrose is the life
term prisoner from Chatham county, who
escaped at the same time with Dixon. He
murdered Frank Cooper at a negro dance in
Woodville five years ago and was convicted
and sentenced for life on Jan 27, 1886. He
is at or near Jesup, and is shadowed by
officers.
A peculiar coincidence in the Dixon case
was brought to light yesterday in looking
over the jail records. He was convicted of
burglary, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for ten years on April 35, 1890, and exactly
one year from that date he was recaptured
and committed to jail ia this city.

Postmaster Doyle has been experiment
ing for the last week with a special early
morning business house delivery and it has
worked so satisfactorily withiu the legal
eight hours that he has decided to perma
nently inaugurate the movemeut on and
after to-morrow.
Three carriers ars detailed for the work,
and they leave the office every morning at
8:30 o’clock with northern, western and
southern mails. This is an addition to the
other deliveries and is a great con venieuce
to the business community of the city.
A box has boeu put iu the cotton exchange
for mail for the night trains and a earner
makes a late collection after the regular
city collection. This was done by Post
master Doyle to mako up for the removal of
the postofflee from Bay street, and to obvi
ate the necessity of sending mail to the
postofliee. A bulletin has also been put up
iu the exchange on which the arrivals of all
mails are posted. This is done to prevent
merchants from making unnecessary trips
to the office iu case of delay.

WATCHES W-tRS H S LINS.
Sneak Thief Mordecai Captured and
in Jail.
Jim Mordecmi (colored), a professional
sneak thief well known to the police, and
who made a specialty of watch stealing,
was before the mayor yesterday morning
for stealing a gold watch aud chain, and
was remanded to jail to await the oction of
the superior court grand jury.
Mordecai ho* bean wanted a good while
for a number of robberies. About six
weeks ago he stole into Mr. W. H. Long’s
house on liunlngdon street
when the family was out
and robbed a trunk of a solid gold watch
chain, aud clasp, valued at $165.
As soon as the theft was discovered it was
reported to the police, and Officer H. M.
Morgan took charge of the case. He soon
found that Mordecai was the thief, hut de
layed his arrest ia order to get track of the
stolen property, which he did in a short
time, and it was recovered. Mordecai was
then arrested, and iu the police court yes
terday morning he confessed the robbery,
and was sent to jail to await the sitting of
the grand jury.
Mordecai had sold the watch to one party
and the chain and clasp to two other par
ties. Officer Morgan worked the case very
cleverly and successfully, as he has done a
good many similar cases.
NOT A DES EAJLE PRISONER.
Officer Rahllly’a Encounter With a
Female Pugilist.
Two colored women had a fight last night
about 8 o’clock at Liberty street lane and
East Broad street. A big crowd of men
aud women collected to see the fun and
were urging on the combatants when
Officer Rabilly arrived on the scene. The
crowd yelled “police,” and the two women
pulled loose aud started to run. The
officer managed to grab one of them
Celia Carter, and she turned on him
like a tigress and began to resist In a lively
manner. The policeman drew bis club, but
a gang of the women jumped on him,
caught hold of his club and knocked him
down. Celia Evans, a big, buxom woman,
was the leader. She scratched Officer
Kahilly about tke face and neck and used
her fist in sluggicg style.
The officer held on to his prisoner
and called for assistance. Officer Gaff-iey
responded, and the crowd scattered. Celia
was pointed out to him by Officer Rahilly,
and he started toward her. She saw him
coming, and gathßring up her skirts, she
started down the asphalt pavement on
Liberty street like a professional sprinter.
Officer Gaffney is not a slow runner by any
means, but he had a lively race of several
blocks before he captured her. Both women
were lucked up on charges of fighting and
resisting officers. Officer Rahilly was se
verely scratched on the neck and throat.

SOME BUMMER COMFORTS CAUGHT
IN A DAY'S ROUNDS.
A List of Samples of Seasonable and
Serviceable Article* That Are Con
venient and Pleasant Daring the
Heated Term What to Buy and
Where to Get It —Many Things De
serving of Mention.
No matter how warm and oppressive the
weather may be, people must tot to live.
They must and will have the best, if they
can get it. A good dinner and humor go
together. Good food is al ways at Logaa’s
stalls, and the ladies all know it. They
come id carriages and come In street cars
from ali parts of the city to make their
purchases. They know that the choicest
cuts of meats are always at Logan’s. He
does not depend on the home markets, but
will have the b*Bt, no matter if he has to
send oil over the country for it.
Now, here’s a pointer.
Lognn’s facilities for handling meats and
keeping them fre*h and sound are unsur
passed in this city, having just erected one
of the latest improved dry air refrigerators,
with a capacity of a half carload of meat.
This excellent cooling room preserves and
improves the quality of his splendid meats.
You cau purchase your Sunday’s dinner on
Saturday and Logan will deliver it Hunday
morniug in good condition at any hour vou
wish. There’s a convenience. Try it. The
orders sent in by teleDhone No. 386
are always promptly attended to,
aud it saves housekeepers the trouble
of “getting ready” to go to market, and is
a great convenience during the summer
rnoutbs. If you would be satisfied, go trade
with H. Logan, stalls 67 and 68 city market,
where he keeps the best qualities of spring
lamb, veal, roasts, steass, chops, sweet
breads, liver, tripe, soup bone ond brisket,
besides a wall selected stick of spring
chickens, fruits, vegetables and fresh fish
always on hand. Logan is better prepared
to serve the retail trade with the beet quali
ties than any other butcher in the market.
DO YOU USE A GAS STOVE 1
Now there’s one comfort that everybody
should enjoy, especially during the summer
mouths. The expense is no more than the
cost of other fuel. The disagreeable heat
of a regular wood burning cooking range is
done away with in the use of gas. For
healthful, satisfactory, improved and econ
omical cookery and kindred domestic work,
gas is the king of fuels. It is the
safest, quickest and easiest fuel to handle.
All Kinds of food cooked by gas is health
ier than that cooked by any other kind of
fuel.
These facts have been so widely demon
strated that the question is not. How well
or how cheaply will gas fuel cook? but it is:
“Wherecan I get she best and cheapest
devices?”
The Mutual Gas Light Company is pre
pared to furnish ail kinds of gas stoves for
cooking. The prices are very reasonable.
The expense is very low considering the
great comfort and convenience. Stoves
are supplied on credit, jpayable in install
ments on easy terms.
In the summer time, everybody should
have one. If you contemplate using a gas
stove call at office of the Mutual Gas Light
Company, 129 Congress street, for informa
tion.
A CONTEMPLATED picnic.
The season for excursions and picnics is
at hand. A steamboat ride to the various
places of resort or a trip to Tybee is now
the contemplated pleasure of the public.
To “get ready” for the excursion is always
the greatest task, and many housekeepers
“fuss and worry” for several days before
hand in preparing the family picnic basket
for the occasion. To save this unnecessary
trouble I will suggest to you a selection of
dainty dishes, which can be secured with
out inconvenience, and enable you to get
ready in a hurry to catch any train or
boat and enjoy a day of pleasure and profit.
First you must got a regular picnic
basket, boil a bam and get some bread from
the baker and then HU the basket with the
following delicacies: Queen olives, mixed
pickles or sweet pickles, chow-chow, Cali
fornia peaches, potted game, Shrewsbury
catsup, cheese, butter, salmon steaks, jelly,
and fancy cakes and crackers. Then you
may put in some claret or imported beer,
all of which can be bought at the lowest
prices from Engel & Rothschild, the leading
grocers, 144 Congress streot.
A LIGHTNING! ICE CREAM FREEZER.
I was attracted by a little machine the
other day. An ice cream freezer. Its very
appearance suggested merit, and I stopped
to examine the mechanism of this unique
and useful summer machine.
It was called the "Shepard’s Lightning”
ice cream freezer, and is the quickest freezer
on earth. It makes more ice cream from
giveu quantities of cream than any other
freezer. And is easier. The revolving
whoel dasher forces the cream from center
to circumference of the can, where it is
quickly frozen, and then removed by ad
justable scraper, to be followed by more
croam from the center, and so on until the
whole contents are roady for the table.
In addition to this the dasher, as it turns,
forms a vacuum in the freezing cream from
the top to the bottom of the can, which fills
with air and is beaten in the cream, mak
ing it light and palatable, aud greatly in
creasing the quantity put in the cream.
The gearing "is inclosed, preventing any
possibility of injuring the operator. The
tubs are extra large, made of the best
quality of cedar. In fact the “Lightning”
has every advantage over all other ice
cream freezers, and can be seen at the store
of Cornweii & Cbipman, 152t£ Congress
street.
FOR MAN’S DELIGHT AND PLEAS
URE.
Be comfortable.
Wbat a delight it is to be able to secure
one of the new style Stanley shirts. I have
just been shown an excellent line of the lat
est. They are in lovely designs, loose a'd
airy. They have laundered collars and cuffi
and are very dressy.
Did you ever hear of Fish, Clark &
Flagg’s neckwear? Of course you have;
eve vbody kno \s of these celebrated goods.
And they ai e here in Savannah. The new
est designs are displayed iu excellent quali
ties and are undoubtedly the handsomest
gouds ever Bhown in the city. Some of the
styles are: “New Puff Como,” “Reversible
Four-in-Hand,” “Reversible Ascot Scarfs,”
“The Chester,” now “Neglige Scarfs,” aud
many other unique novelties that must be
seen to be admired.
Tbe season for surf bathing is near at
hand. Some very handsome new styles of
bathing suits are out. They are attractive
in design and well made. They w ill be
•seen at Tybee in a few weeks. \V ill you be
the happv possessor of one of the very
latest? You must buy one, so as to be in
it at the seashore.
Miller s celebrated bats are surely taking
the lead here, as well as everywhere else.
Thera is anew line just received, which in
cludes all the leading braids and shapes in
nobby straws, and a full line of Derby
shapes, besides helmets in both cork and
straw. All of these first-class summer com
forts are for sale by Hoadley &. Bennitt,
the popular haberdashers and batters, at 35
Whitaker street.
SOMETHING FOR THE GIRLS.
In looking around for summer comforts
I was attracted by the grand display of
white aud black leghorn hats that are ex -
hibited at KrmukoiT’s, tbe man milliner.
I hc season is ruahiag at that establishment.
It commrinwd early and is continuing with
gratifying activity. The ladies . f Savan
nah a. predate the endeavors of On* enter
orlslng merchant in mtrod ring the I jotter
claas of millinery go- ds to tha trade. Tha
i vely iity.es Uiat have come from Kr ,us
koff 's Una saesou hra uaau greatly ad
mired. There is a great demand for the
beautiful styles in children s straw hats just
at present.
NATURE'S KINDLY ART.
Undoubtedly the greatest comfort that
our poopie are blessed with in summer is
nature's generous supply of pure and
healthy ice. The northern lakes yield thou
sands of tons of this gracious luxury, and
consequently the homes are made happy
during the heated term. It is a b easing to
1 the sick. Ice keeps the meats fresh and
sound during the warmest weather, pre
serves, fruits and perishable vegetables,
I freezes our delicious cream, cools cur beer;
| it Is the redeeming qualities of soda water
and other summer drinks, and is an abso
lute necessity in furnishing us with refresh
ing draughts of “Adam’s alo” during the
sult-y season.
We are fortunate in being able to get all
the pure natural ice that we wish. The
enterprising who'osale beer dealer, George
Meyer, found it necessary to buy ice in
large quantities for bis own use in the
greatly increased beer business. He not
only has arranged to supply his personal
demands, but has a great many vessels
chartered which are continually bringing
large cargoes of pure lake ice to our citv,
and has reduced the cost of this delightful
comfort, so that everybody can be supplied
at a small cost.
Depots are established all over the city at
convenient points. If you want to keep
cool and live comfortable during this season
of high temperature you should buy pure
natural ice regularly from the depots of
George Meyer.
PINEAPPLE GEM.
After a day’s tramp, and in fact even at
any time dm ing the warm wheather. you
will find nothing so refreshing as a drink of
Livingston’s celebrated pineapple gem. It
is a most delightful beverage and is very
popnlar in this city. It is a most charming
friend of Addie.
