THIRTY-SEVEN IN ALL
TH3 MILLED EJECTMENT SUITS TO
B 2 CONTE3T3D.
TSe Defancfants Organize an Associ
ation for that Purpose—No Mere
Suits to Be Entered—Those Already
Begun Put Off Until tha Last Day of
the seven Tears in Which They Can
£e Fried—The Principal Points in the
Claims and tha Line of Defansa.
No further suits will be tiled by tho Mil*
len heirs for the recovery of the Prender
gast tract aud other property claimed by
them. The seven-year limit for the filing
o£ such suite expired the day the thirty-live
suits were entered.
A meeting of the defendants was held
at the office of C. F. Prendergast, No. 106
Bay street, last night. About twenty of
those interested were present. A determi
nation to fight the suits to the end was un
mistakably manifested. The meeting was
organized by the election of Mr. Preuder
gast chairman, and Capt. J. F. Brooks,
secretary. A committee, consisting of the
chairman, Col. William Rogers, Dr. H. H.
Groth, George M. D. Riley aud E. F. Bryan,
was appointed to report nominations for
counsel lyid permanent officers for the or
ganization, and to outiine the plans aud de
tails for the proposed association. The
committee was especially charged to per
form its duties as speedily as possible and
report to a called meeting. It was clearly
evident from the tone of the meeting th t
the suits will not go by default on the part
of the defendants.
THE SEVEN-YEAR LIMIT.
For the filing of suits for the recovery of
property hulawfully sold the law, it
is claimed, allows seven years from
the date of the death of the life
tenant. Mary Sauls Milieu, tho life
tenant of the property claimed, died Sept.
5,1b84. Last Saturday was the seventh anni
versary of her death, and had not the suits
been filed on or before that date the heirs
would have beeu debarred by tho statute of
limitation.
It is understood that the defense will set
forth that in the first place the sale of tho
property by Grief Linch was lawful, and
in the aeoo and that the seven-year limit
should date from the time of the sale and
not from tho dare of the death of the life
tenant. Hon. T. M. Norwo d.one of the
attorneys for the plaintiffs, said that if the
latter point is raised it can be easily met.
THE PRENDERGAST TRACT.
The Prendergast tract is the largest part
of the property sued fr, containing m
acres, more or less. It passed from Andrew
J. Low to John Gardner by a deed dated
December, 1885. Gardner Bold it to John
Millen tu 1837 and the deed is dated March
9of that year. Tho title passed from John
Millen to George D. MUIe i under an order
of* Chatham superior court 1 , based upon a
bill filed by Richard I). and George D.
Millen against Jacob YValdburg and Cor
nelia M. Millen, administrator anil admin
istratrix of John Millen, who died May 28,
1815.
The deed from George I). Millen to Jacob
Wald urg and Cornelia M. Millen was in
trust for his wife, Mary Sauls Millen, for
life and her children, in remainder. This
deed is dated Juno 14, 1845.
Michael Prendergast purchased the
Sroperty from Grief Linch, trustee of the
hlien family in 1849.
THE WARING TRACT SUED FOR BY LOTS.
The Waring tract is not being sued for os
a whole, but by lots, which leaves the
Prendergast defendants involved to the
greatest amount.
Tbero are seven heirs for the property as
follows: Elizabeth 1). Fraemau, Charlotte
C. Brandon, Sarah M. Wooten, Henry D.
Millen, Reuben E. Milieu and Alfred C.
Milieu, children of George D. and Mary S.
Millen, and Georgia Ann E. Huff, grand
child of George D. aud Mary Saula-
Millea, and only child of Mary Hauls
Edwards.
A prominent attorney in spsnking of tie
case yesterday, said that one of the princi
pal points in it will be whether Grief Linch
v>as lawfully appointed trustee and the
ratification of his acts by the heirs. If they
ratified any portiou of Ida acts regarding
tne sale of their property they ratified all,
but, on the other hand, if they didn’t ratify
his action the sale couldn’t be considered
lawful. These aro questions of fact, how
ever, said the attorney, which will have to
be submitted to a jury, and the question of
the plaintiffs winning under such circum
stances looks dim.
THLY MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT.
Some Exporters Loss the Drawback
on Jute by Not Looking After It.
The efforts of the Savannah customs
authorities to secure an extension of the
time for the payment of drawback claims
on jute baggiug will be the means of sav
ing considerable money to cotton exporters.
Collector Johnson has received a letter
from treasury department, the sub
stance of which was given in a Washington
dispatch to the Mofcvi.es News, announcing
an extension of the instructions to customs
officials of June, 1889, to cove* all bagging
exported ax covering to cotton raised during
lbeO-'JI.
The rebate on jute begging is %2 28 per
100 Tne payment of certain claims
for this arew hack were tarred by limita
tion of time wnicb was April 1 last. Prior
to that -..ate the rath of shippers as to the
amount of cotton extorted was accepted as
evide - upon which to pay the draw tick.
Aft*.- that de e full proof, that is at least
six hours notice to the customs officials
before loading the cotton, so that a count
could he made, was required.
Of the 36,322 bales for drawback, 26,472
were entered at the custom
bouse, leaving 9.859 bales out of
court upon which the drawback would
have been paid had they been entered. The
loss to those extorters, who faded to taka
advantage of the chance to secure tho
drawback, will be iu the neighborhood of
$225.
MERCCRY TAKES A DROP.
It Goes Down to Keep in the Proces
sion of Cool Spells.
Yesterday was about the coolest day in
Savannah iu the last aeveral months. The
maximum temperature was only 77®. which
was riaehe 1 about noon, and after that the
mercury steadily dropped until it reached
C 9“. It probably went lower than that last
uight.
The drop in temperature sent a good
many people into heavier clothing, ana last
night it was frequently remarked that it
•would loonr be time for overcoats at this
rate.
The cool spell was brought down from
the north by the winds, it having been very
cool up around the lakes tbis week, frost
being reported in lower Mew York.
There was a good deal of rain throughout
the cotton distriets yesterday, though not
many were reported. Tampa
reported an inch and one-tbird of rain yes
terday. Rains were reported from the
Galveston, Tittle Rock, Memphis, New
Orleans and Vicksburg districts.
Show.' rs were reported from Quitman
and Thomasvlile in tbis district.
Light rains are forecasted at Savannah
to-day with stationary temperature.

OYSTERS TO COST MORE.
Dealers Hay People Will Have to Pay
Higher for Tnem This YA inter.
The Savannah fish dealers say the supply
of oysters in Savannah this season will be
greatly diminished and the price correspond
ingly increased by the operation of the
oyster law, reoently enacted by the legis
lature. This will be brought about by the
diminution in tfcfe amount of territory open
to the oyster gatherers, by reason of the
taking up of so much of the land iu leases
that was formerly resorted to by the public,
The dealers estimate that the amount of
oysters offered for sale here this season will
be a great deal less than heretofore. The
oyster men, dealers say, have already in
creased the price of oysters 33% per cent.
In Dr. Oemler’s card this morning it is
stated that the Georgia Benevolent Fishing
Society has notified the dealers that its
members will no longer sell oysters at former
prices, owing to the ruin of the natu-al
beds. Dr. Oemler said to a Morning News
representative some timo ago that the Qera
ler Oyster Company, which will begin
operations in November, expects to draw a
good portion of its supply for canning pur
poses from the natural beds, securing them
from the oystermen. This, too, will have a
tendency to decrease the quantity offered
for sale in the city.
It seems very probable, taking all the
reasons offered, the depreciation of the
natural beds, the decrease In territory by
reason of the leatev. aud the entry of the
Oemler Oyster Company into tba market,
that the supply of oysters offered on tho
market will be considerably diminished and
the price increased correspondingly.
One fish dealer sail yesterday that be has
arranged to secure his supply of oysters
this season rom Carolina as he will no
longer bo able to secure a sufficient amount
from Georgia to supply his trade.
It is some consolation to note that the
flavor of the oysters is the ssme as ever aud
that the restaurants are supplying them at
the usual prices.
GUARDS GETTING ANXIOUS.
They Want the Government to Hurry
up and Hay for Ita Lot.
The Guards are wishing the government
would transact its business with a little loss
deliberation, and harry up its cheok for
their lot as they want the money to pay for
the orphan asylum property and begin im
provements on it.
Tho titles to the Bull and Whitaker street
property wore examined by United States
District. Attorney Erwin and were passed
as satisfactory and forwarded to tho Attor
ney General at Washington over a month
ago. Nothing has beeu heard from them
since.
A letter received by Col. Garrard, from
tha treasury department, in reDly to an in
quiry as to the reas n for the delay, saul
that thov had not yet reooived tho titles
from the Attorney General, and, of course,
could do nothing until thoy were in posses
sion of the titles.
Col. Garrard said yesterday that ho
couldn’t understand the reason for the de
lay unless the Attorney General bad taken
a vacation during the heated term.
The abstract of titles was made out in
the most complete manner possible, so there
could be no kind of doubt in connection
with them and the deed to the property,
prooerly attested and signed, was forwarded
with the titles, so there is nothing further
to bo doae in connection with tho property,
after the acceptance of the titles by the At
torney General, but to receive the check.
SECOND OF THE SEASON.
Bobby Gaylor to Tickle Theater-Goers
the Re3t of the Week.
The second attraction of tho eeason at
the theater is the inimitable Bobby Gaylor
in “Sport McAllister” to-night and to-mor
row matinee and night. Gaylor is a popu
lar favorite. Ho is a genius in low comedy
and tickles the risibilities iu the sourest and
most cynical of people. In “Sport McAllis
tor" he is said to have a part that fits
him to a dot and gives him plenty of
opportunities for the introduction of bis
songs and other specialties. The piece is
described as a farcial comedy, but, unlike
the general run of creations of that sort it
is built upon original and consequently en
tertaining lines. It is lacking in tho old
time conventional themes and contains
nothing that is not unique and fresh. Man
ager Brady says that it will be his win
ning card this season and he is paying
special attention to the production.
To-morrow afternoon the first matinee of
the season will be given.
LAID TO REST.
Miss Mamie Rossiter’s Funeral Largely
Attended.
The funeral of Miss Mamie Rossiter took
place from the cathedral yesterday after
noon. The big church was packed to an
extent seldom seeu at a fuueral.
Vioar General Cafferty performod the

on tho excellent traits of the deceased young

Over forty carriages and nearly as many

N3ARING A SETTLEMENT.
The Bap Street Road About to Be
Opened New.
The probabili.y is that the opening of tho
Bay street rood, which has so long been a
vexed question with both the city and
county authorities, will soon be settled by
the condemnation of W. L. Exley’s land for
the purpose. The road commissioners, as
announced yojterday, have been instructed
by the county commissioners to examine,
mark off the route and report back to them.
Mr. Etiey and the city and couuty author
ities have” been trying for a long time, with
out success, to come to an agreement. The
people interested in the western part of the
city, finally becoming tired, got up a peti
tion to have the land needed for tho pur
pose condemned.
The Pembroke Tragedy.
William Brown and P. H. Patrick, the
principals la the Pembroke shooting affray,
are still aiive but little hope, how

covery. The difference in the bills, about
which the tragedy occurred, was in favor
of the Browns. They had sawed a bill of
lumber fur Patrick, which was something
more than Patrick’s bill against them, and
his refusal to settle the difference caused
the feud.

MOST OF HIS TIME BEADING.

Honan Besieged by People Who
Want to Witness the Execution.
One week from to-day, between 10 o’clock
a. m. and 4 o’clock p. in., wife-murderer
Albert Morea Kitchen will pay the penalty
of his crimes in the gallows room of the
county jail.
Kitchen has become intensely religious
since his condemnation, and feels satisfied
that he will bs saved. Rev. Alexander
Harris (colored) visits him daily and prays
with him. Kitchen puts in nearly all his
time reading tho Bible and a hymn book,
aud doesn’t care to talk at all upon worldly
subjects. His appetite is good, and his im
pending fate doesn’t seem to worry him.
Although it was ordered in the sentence
and has been announced several times
since that Kitchen will bs hanged pri
vately, Sheriff Ronan is besieged by per
sons who want to see the hanging. The
laws of Georgia relatiug to private execu
tions are very strict, and no one will be
allowed to witness Kitchen’s taking off ex
cept court officers and representatives of
the press. It is no use for people to ask
Sheriff Ronan, because they will only bs
met by a refusal.

HAIL AND CROS3TI..
W. N. Jones, chief clerk in tho general
superintendent's office at thi Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, left yester
day for a two weeks’ merited vaoatiou in
the north.
The only empl -.yes of the Canadian
Pacific who are with the express trains all
the time between Montreal and Vancouver
are the sleeping ctir porters. They trnvel
nearly 3,0U0 miles without a break and aro
on the road for nearly six days.

It bus just contracted with the
Ohio Falls Car Company for ISO box cars to

road expects*to be operating in full blast.
Tho directors of the Kansas City. Mem
phis and Birmingham railroad, iu the cir
cular advising the first mortgage bondhold
ers to fund their coupons for the next two
and a half years, Bay that the original cost
of tho road exceeded the estimates, so that
when it was completed it had no cash or
surplus bonds iu the treasury, and its equip
ment was inadequate, says the Railway
Gazette. In the years 1889’90, however,
it oarned its fixed charges, including inter
est on the boadßoi the Birmingham Equip
ment Company, Daymeut of which it was
obliged to assumo in order to procure
roiling stock necessary to the operation of
tho road. The il atirig debt is about $175,-
(XXI, mainly incurred to pay the coupons of
last March. Ten-year notes bearing semi
annual interes: at 6 per cent, are offered
for the coupons, the latter to be deposited
with a trustee. The equipment b<#hdholders
will not lie asked to surrender any of their
coupons, as the terms upon which the road
holds the equipment are more favorable than
could be obtained now. Some of the
first mortgage bonds, which have sold at
about 85, went for about 75 iu Boston this
week.

THE TALK ON THE BAY.
Arrival of the First Tramp Steamship
of the Season.
Hubbard, Price & Co’s report of Sept. 8,
received ytstarday, contains some chunks
of wisdom. Itsavs: “Cotton for immediate
delivery is still far below the average of
former years, and at a price which, were it
not for the depth of the Im
mediately preceding depression, would
bo regarded as unusually low.
The week has been remarkable for the num
ber and unanimous pessimism of the crop
accounts, pubi.c and private, that have been
received. With hardly a dissent the condi
tion of the crop is reported as poorer than
on July 1. Some decline in tho apparent
condition is invariably incidental to the
month of August, but the extremes this
season reported have filled the public mind
with appreheurioa as to next year’s
production. Alabama seems to be the
center of the agricultural depres
sion, so to speak, the depreciation
there being variously estimated at from 25
to 40 per cent In the other states, Texas
alone excepted, the reduo ion in condition
is said to be from 10 to 25 per cent, while
in Texas a further falling off during the
week is reported. There is, however, a
marked dispos.bon to discount tho element
of self-interest, which such reports are sup
posed to oontain, and to regard them as in
a measure inspired by the very
purpose they have so successfully
effected, namely, that of advancing the
market, if such be the case, and the south
is really to produce another crop of 7,800,-
000 bales or over, it is much to be con
gratulated upon tha opportunity offered,
to market its crop at present prices, and
we note as a significant feature a disposi
tion OH the part of some of the larger and
independent planters to accept the guaran
tee of about 8% cents on their plantations
which is afford.-d by sales of distant futures
in this market.”
Greig, Jones & Wood, cotton and naval
stores msrohants, received telegraphic ad
vicesyesterday of the shipment from Den
mark of the first cotton over the South
Bound. It is expected to arrive to-day. W oods
Garnett & Cos. reported the arrival last
night of one bale oonsigned to them, but
the shipping point was unknown. Tho Den
mark consignment, to Greig, Jones & Wood,
however,wiil be the first of any considerable
amount. There is a good deal of cotton
along the South Bound awaiting shipment
to Savannah, and it is exp oted it will
begiu coming with a rush in a few days.
The consignment to Greig, Jones & Wood
will be the first of 75,000 or 100,000 bales
which the road is expected to add to Sa
vannah’s receipts this season.
Tho report of the agricultural depart
ment issued yesterday had a bad effect on
t’ue cotton market. The report showed the
condition of the cotton to he much better
than it had been generally estimated to be
and consequently there was an immediate
drop in the market.
New York went off 21 points yesterday.
It had been estimated that the condition of
the crop would bo considerably below
SO, but the report showed
it to be 83.7, a reduction
of only 6 per cent since the last monthly
report. The present condition of the crop
according to the report U about the same
as it was this timo lust year. This had a tad
effect upon the market, whioh has been cal
culating upon a short or >p.
Advioes from the sea island districts con
tinue very gloomy, especially in this section,
and rust is making havoc with the plant.
It is behind fully two weeks, and is just
passing through ita critical period. It
is said that in Bulloch county, whioh is
one of the host counties in the sea island
bolt for thi brodtictiou of long staple, that
there was leis acreage planted in uuland
and sea island together than was planted
last year in sea island alone. It would ap
pear troin this that there will be no such
yield as that ;f last seasou. Receipts
are coming in very slowly.
The spot pint-hot tor cotton went off }<e
in the better grades ,'yesterday, due mainly
to the usual inoritUly revision of spot quo
tations iu thii New York market, in which
the high grades were reduced and the low
grades were left as they were. O i contracts
the scarcity of good grades made them com
mand a higher premium, and any tenders
of contracts on the old difference "offered in
the market wore a drug. Tha report, how
ever, of the agricultural bureau proevd to
be the greatest bear point.
Tho first tramp steamship of the season
yesterday. She is the Norfolk
from Newport News ns previously an
nounced in the Morning News. She was
docked in the Ocean Steamship Company’s
slip, uud will begin immediately to load for
Liverpool. The Norfolk is consigned to
Wilder & Cos. She is an old trader at this
port and about the first steel vessel to visit
S ivaunah. She will carry 5,000 or more
bales.
Evidently the government reports did
notes imatetbo damage to the crop by
rains, drought aud other causei at anything
like tho reports received generally by the
cotton exchange. There is certainly no
danger of the country producing another
seven million-aud-a-half-bale crop this year
aud the estimate that the crop of ’9l will
cloiely approximate that of ’S9 is doubtless
a fair one.

in the city last night. They are on an
inspection tour, and will be here the re
mainder of the week.
General Manager Green was seen by a
Morning News reporter, and was asked
what new changes, if any, ara in contem
plation. He replied that the only one ia
that of the rem ival of the oar record office
to Atlanta, wbiob will bo done to-morrow.
Theodore Wells ia in charge of tho offica.
Savannah, General Manager Green s&ld,
need not be alarmed at tbe changes being
made. Nothing will be done to injure the
city, because the Richmond Terminal has
more at stako here than any one else.
When railroads combine there isalwavsa
cutting oH of unnecessary offices, because
under a combination oue man oan look after
the work of a position which, were the roads
operated separately, would have to be filled
by several. The idea of the Richmond
Terminal, he said, is to centralize ns much
as possible, and that is why the general
offices were removed to Atlanta.
General Manager Greoa says that the
Richmond Terminal has gotten rates
through to the west now whioh will nec
essarily turn western freight through Sa
vannah. (Tp to the present time but little
has been ooming this way because of the
rates, but now that this has been reme
died he expects big result*—results which
before long he thinks will necessitate the
iucrease of the Bteamship fleet to handle
tbe business.
The office of controller, wh'eh Mr. Mcln
tyre recently resigned, will be abolished.
The general manager was asked what
caused the delay in paying the clerks here.
Ho said that it was not want of money by
any means, but tbe auditing of the accounts
and getting them in shape. The work, he
said, is quite an undertaking, and can’t be
done in a day or two.

THE LAST INTERVIEW.,
How a Man’s Wife Watohed Hla
Wraith When He Died.
From the Bolton Globe.
The circumstance I am about to relate
occurred fully fifty years ago, but rises be
fore me as freshly and vividly as then.
When, offer the peace of ’l4 was con
cluded, the continent was once more opened
to us, every ono who retnomhers it knows
how gladly we English availod ourselves of
it to leave* our island home to seek health
or pleasure in tbo complete change of scene
and life.
My husband and I shared the almost uni
versal fureur and want to France. There,
however, our wanderings censed for a time;
for when we arrived at the picturesque old
town of D we were agreeably surprised
to find somd*old friends there.
Our house was in a central situation as
regarded those of our friends; though it was
in the town, it had a small garden before it,
ana a graveled patli led to the hall door.
Of all our acquaintances, the parson I
was most drawn to was a Mrs. Norris, a
very pietty young woman, light hearted
and always cheerful. She was my constant
quest. Her husband was in the army, and
at the time I speak of was quartered In Ire
land. Mrj. Norris was anxious to give her
four children a better education than their
limited means could procure in England.
Capt. Norris had only just left D to
join bis regiment, and had expressed his
with I would "look after” his wife aud as
sist her with advice, or in any way that
might be necessary.
Of all the NorrD children Louisa was her
father’s favorite, but; her mother almost dis
liked her, apparently—if one can use the
word dislike to describe a mother’s harsh
ness to her child. 1 afterward found that
the mother’s hardiness caused the father’s
favor.
Ono evening our small circle had assem
bled as usual at my house, and dispersed
ab mt 10 o’clock, Mrs. Norris being the first
to leave.
When my husband and I were alone wo
chatted over the little incidents and gossips
of the evening.
At last 1 took my candle and went to my
room, a front one.
I had undressed, when I heard a noise at
the window like hail rattling against it.
Knowing that the night had be* 1 very fine,
I drew hack the curtain iu surprise, and
saw Mrs. Norris standing in the path.
I hurriedly threw my dressing wrapper
round me aed rau down stairs.
Wheu I had opened the ball door, before
I had time to ask a question, Mrs. Noriis
exclaimed:
“Oh I fear something dreadful has hap
pened to Charles!”
"Why do you think sot” I said. "Have
you heard anvtuiug of him?”
“No!” she answered, "I have not heard
of or from him lately; yet, as you know, I
was not unea3y about him, and was quite
happy and cheerful with you this evening.
I left you early to go to my children; they
were all asleep; I went to bed directly, but
in about tea minutes after, by the light of
the night lamp, I saw my husband standing
by my bedstead; he had a fearful gash in
his throat, from whom the blood was pour
ing. He spoke to me aud said:
"Farewell! be kind to pour Lou!”
“In a moment he disappeared. When I
oouid collect my thoughts I dressed and
came to you. I must go to him. Will you
look after my children till my return?”
Traveling in those days was a most disa
greeable process. I therefore tried to per
suade Mrs. Norris that shs bad only
dreamed of her husband.
She replied; “I had not even closed my
eyes and I saw him as plainly as I do you.”
I Then I tried to peisuade her to wait for
the arrival of the next mail from England.
I saw it was useless trying to dissuade
Mr*. Norris, so I now hurriedly dressed and
helped her preparations for departure,
promising to be a mother to her children in
her absence.
She traveled post to tho nearest port,
thence sailed to England and proceeded im
mediately to her husband’s quarter* in
Ireland.
Sbo was the oalg. inside passenger by tho
coach. At tho next stoppage the guard
found my poor fnond senseless.
She bad found in a newspaper an account
of tho death of Capt. Norris, by suicide, at
the very moment she had seen his appari
tion.
When Mrs. Norris returned to her chil
dren, and had, in some degree, recovered*
from this awful shock, she spoke with
■ calmness of what she called her “last inter
view” with her husband.
I remarked that even if she had dreamed
it, it would have been extraordinary; she
was fi m in assorting that she had not
closed her eyes, nnd but just extinguished
her candle. So I said no more; but other
friends wero more pertinacious in insisting
hispresence could not have been a reality.
Her answer was invariably; “I saw him
as plainly as I see you.”
