First Merchants’ Excursion.
The Entire Country Interested in the
Trip—The Committees in Charge of
the Enterprise More Than Gratified
With the Reports That Are Being’
Received—The Railroads Providing
Extra Cars to Handle the Crowd.
The first trade excursion conducted by
the Merchants’ Trade Association will
arrive in the city to-morrow night from
Gainesville and intermediate ]>oints along
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way. The excursion is expected to bring
in over 1,000 people, and those who are
best acquainted with the work that has
been done and the interest that has been
developed place the number at 1,200 to
1,500 people.
'From every point along the line comes
the news that the people are interested
antf are coming to Savannah.
The agents at some of the
smaller stations have notified the
officials of the road that they will sell
from 50 to 100 tickets at their stations,
Gainesville, Live Oak. Dupont, Waycross
and Jesup will furnish over 100 people
each.

The train will leave Gainesville with
eight coaches. More coaches will he
taken on at Dupont. Live Oak and Way
cross, as many as needed, and if the
crowd proves large enough to make it
necessary, the train will bo run in two
sections.
THE RATES OE FARE.
The following are the rates that have
been made by the merchants:

Johnston, Walthourville ► * 75
Mclntosh, Fleming and Ways I
The rates are the lowest that have ever
been offered for an excursion in 'this
section. The merchants were enabled to
make these rates by hiring the train from
the railroad and fixing their own rates.
They do not expect to make money on the
excursion, hut on the contrary will proba
bly lose a few hundred dollars. What
they lose on the excursion, how
ever, they expect to receive back
in the Trade from the excursionists.
Not so much is expected from the trade
of the first excursions, but the idea is to
bring the people to Savannah and show
them what the merchants here can and
will do in order that a regular and con
tinuous trado may* be built up with the
sections from which the excursionists
come. It is missionary work in the inter
ests of trade.
TWO PATS IN SAVANNAH.
The excursion tickets are on sale at all
stations along the route. The tickets are
good only on the special excursion train
coming to Savannah, but are good to re
turn on any passenger train on
the road up to midnight of Dec. 7.
This will allow the excursionists
two entire days and nights
in the city, though most of them will not
care to stay so long. The majority will
probably return Wednesday night or
Thursday morning.
Mr. W. If. Benson, who was working up
the excursion along the line, returned to
the city yesterday morning. He reports
the most encouraging prospects all along
the route. At every station ho was
warmly received, and found numbers of
people preparing to take advantage of the
excursion Mr. Benson found that the
people had already been made well ac
quainted with the subject of the excur
sion by the Morning News. This made
his work comparatively easy.and all he had
to do was to answer questions as to minor
details, besides distributing the advertis
ing matter of the association. He found
that not only are the farmers and their
families coming to Savannah, but the
merchants are coming, as well, to see
what Savannah has to offer, and to re
plenish their stocks for Christmas.
TO UHIXG IN THE CROWD.
Mr. Benson will go back down the road
to-day. He will accompany the excursion
from Gainesville, and will attend to the
decoration of the cars. The train will be
rieeorated with Hags and bunting, and
will present quite a gala appearance.
No advertising matter will be allowed
distributed on the train, except
the souvenir of the Merchants Trade As
sociation and copies of the daily papers.
A representative of the Morning News
will accompany the excursion from
Gainesville and will attend to the dis
tribution of to-day's 24-page edition
which will be distributed free in order
that the excursionists may have some
thing to read on their trip and may see
what the Savannah merchants have to
offer.
To-da.v'? edition of the Mousing New?
speaks for itself. The merchants mean
business and they are going to offer their
biggest inducements to the visitors. They
mean to make friends of the visitors.
They want them to come again and for
that reason they will make them special
prices on everything they wish to buy.
A CHANGE IN BUSINESS.
Deputy Sheriff Dunno and Constable
Nathans to Swing Corners.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Dunno has
severed his connection with Justice El
singer's office, and some time this week
will hang out his sign in front of Justice
Patterson's, on Drayton street.
Constable Nathans, too, will make a
change, and will leave Justice Patter
son's office, where he lias been located
for some time, to go to Justice Klsinger's.
It is understood that the changes aro sat
isfactory to ail parties concerned.

Capt. Blun Talks About the Early Fu
ture of the Tyhae Railroad.
The bondholders of the Savannah and
Atlantic railroad, as well as the property
owners on Tybeo Island, are deeply inter
ested in the early future of the Tybeo
railroad, and are waiting with eager in
terest the report of the survey on the
property which has just been commenced
by the Central railroad.
Capt. Henry Blun has a two fold inter
est in the property, being both a bond
holder of the road and a large property
owner on Tybeo Island, and he is just now
looking on the bright side of the situa
tion. He is of the opinion that after the
survey is made the Central will find that
the property can be repaired at a smaller
tost than has been anticipated, and that
the receiver of the Central will issue re
ceiver's certificates in time to have the
property rebuilt for next season s travel
to the island.
The road, he says can be repaired at a
moderate cost, and the receiver's eertirt
cates issued to do the work would take
precedence of all liens on the property.
This, he thinks, is the course that will he
pursued.
If, however, the Central's receiver
should not desire to undertake the work
by issuing certificates, the bondholders
would, in all probability, ask the court to
appoint another receiver for the Savan
nah and Atlantic, with an order of court
at the same time for the issuance of re
ceiver's certificates for the purpose of
having the property rebuilt in time for
next summer’s travel. What course the
matter will take, however, remains to be
seen after the survey has been completed.
THE NEW QUARANTINE PLANT.
The Aldermen and Sanitary Board
Make an Official Inspector.
The new quarantine station and the ma
chinery and apparatus for fumigating and
disinfecting vessels at quarantine was in
spected yesterday afternoon by the mayor
and aldermen, the sanitary commissioners
and Health Officer Brunner. The tug
Theckla left the City Exchange docks at 1
o'clock and made a quick run to the wharf

The new wharves and new buildings
were inspected and the machinery for
disenfecting vessels and the cloth
ing of their crews, operated by
the Contractor, Mr John ltourke,
under the supervision of Dr. Graham, the
quarantine physician. Mayor McDon
ough started the engine that works the
blast of the fumigating apparatus. Ap
parently there is everything at the quar
antine that is necessary to the prompt
discharging of ballast from vessels and
their quick fumigation and disinfection,
and also for the care of their crews.
The party which went doton on tne
Theckla were Mayor McDonough. Aider

The White Ribbon Mission.

management. One hundred and fifty
nine lodgings were furnished to men and
boys out of employment 66 meals
were given out. employment was found
for 4 people, 13 signeif the pledge, and
the total attendance on the gospel meet

GRAY'S BARGAIN BANNER.
An Old Established Dry Goods House
Still Up to the Times.
The old established firm of Christopher
Gray & Sou are alive and moving with
the times. Fifty years in business,
through all its phases, has taught them a
lesson, which is yet, to be learned by en
thusiastic and exaggerative concerns.
They are always in the market, and
when a spurt in the bargain market oc
curs, they are not slow in coming* to the
front.
The Indies of this city, who
have been patrons of this store,
ever since they were school
girls know full well that they can al
ways find just what they require at
Gray’s, und at as low prices as at any
other place in the city.
The days of "bigbargains” has arrived
The stringency of the money market lias
compelled forced sales of staple goods,
and Christopher Gray you have not been
asleep. They have secured the
best that cash could buv,
and their Advertisement and the rth
page of the issue of the Morning
News gives in detail the list of the many
offerings which they present to the public
this week.
The ladies of this city are especially in
vited to carefully read the advertisement
and to call early and make their pur
chases from the excellent goods which are
offered at such low prices.—ad.
HE SAYS HE’S TIRED.
But it Only Requires a few Days to

“Some people arc born tired”
Logan was not. (Don't stopreading.)
But he is “too tired to live” to-day on
account of the extra exertions to serve
the many customers which thronged at
his establishment during the past week.
He is thankful that it is all over, and
thankful that everyone was pleased with
the excellent dinners he furnished. He
will make no special efforts this week,
but will have the regular stock on hand
and will be as prompt to serve orders as
usual.
But look out for next week, announce
ments won’t count anything, along with
the actual display of meats and game
which will be offered. Christmas is com
ing. and the festive days suggest good liv
ing. and J-ogun proposes to lead the south
in everything suitable and nice for din
ners and banquets. So remember that
there is a place, and that place is Logans.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1893.
HAD TO f.ET ANOTHER HALL
Ttc Catholic library too Small lo Hold
the Farmers’ Delegates.
Arrangements for Entertaining the
Congress When It Meets Here May
Get the City of Macon to Take Them
Down the River—An Informal Car
riage Drive to Bea Feature—The
Entertainment Committee Getting
to Work in Earnest Long Lists of
Delegates From Numerous States.
Preparations for the entertainment of
the delegates who will attend the
National Farmers' congress here next
week are well under way and so far the
convention promises from every point of
view to be the most successful as well as
interesting that has ever been held in
Savannah.
The fact that it will be the first
national body to meet in Savannah will
give it an added interest and its proceed
ings will be watched in every state.
While the body ois strictly non-political,
its discussions reach every topic of in
terest to-day and through them are
watched the opinions and ideas of one of
the largest and most important classes of
citizens.
THE PLACE OF MEETING CHANGED.
It was at first decided to hold the ses
sions of the congress in the Catholic Li
brary Hall and arrangements had been
made with the committee to secure it.
But when the indications began to come
in of the large crowd that would attend,
and it was seen that that hall would
hardly hold the delegates themselves, it
was found necessary to make some other
arrangements. The Catholic Library
Association released the committee on
arrangements from the agreement and an
arrangement has been made by which
the hall in the Savannah Volunteer
Guards’ Armory, which is much larger
and will hold a bigger crowd, has been
secured.
It is probable that there will be in at
tendance more than 400 delegates, for be
sides the agricultural states the agricult
ural bodies all over the union have taken
an active interest in the congress and will
be well represented. Capt. Purse has
just received a letter from Secretary Sid
ney Herbert of the Young Farmers’ club
of the southern states, announcing the
appointment by Vice President A. H.
Cox, who presided at the last convention
of the club, of a large number of delegates
to the National congress. There are
30 or 40 of them in all, and they will at
tend as honorary delegates.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE DELEGATES.
The committee on entertainment,
Chairman John R. Young, held a meeting
yesterday at the office of Mr. W. R.
Leaken, at which there was a full at
tendance.
No definite programme has yet been
marked out, but tilings are rapidly taking
shape, and Savannah will be sure to do
what she attempts. The project of secur
ing one of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's ships, probably the City of Macon
to take the delegates down around the
bell buoy, was discussed and it is thought
that the efforts of the committee in this
direction will meet with success. No ar
rangement to secure the vessel has yet
been made, however, with the company.
Another feature of tho programme will
be an informal carriage drive around the
city. That is, the members ot the commit
tee and individual citizens will take the
delegates out for a drive, choosing what
ever route they most desire without be
ing confined to the route of a procession,
or having any particular objective points
in common.
These features have been discussed by
the committee, and they will no doubt be
parts of tho programme. What other
features may he adopted is not yet known
as no others have been discussed.
The committee on entertainment has
been divided into sub-committees each of
which has taken some special matter in
hand and will push it through. All the
members of this committee are interested
in the work, and they express no doubt
whatever about success.
MANY DELEGATES APPOINTED.
Nearly all the states which have here
tofore been represented at the meetings of
the congress, have sent in the lists of
their delegates to Hon. B. F. Clayton,
secretary, at Indianola. la. These lists,
which form a part of the records of the
convention, were sent to Capt. D. <;.
Purse, who received them yesterday. The
delegates appointed by the governors of

been made, and which have not yet been

Divorce Day—The Criminal Docket
to be Reached This Week —Judge
Ferrill’s Court Also Meets To-mor
row— Criminals in the City Court
Yesterday.
All the courts In Chatham county
having jurisdiction over state and county
matters will be in session to-morrow. The
December term of the superior and the
ordinary's courts will begin at IQ o'clock,
and the city court has been in session
for a month.
Judge Falligant is expected back from
Darien to-day, where he has been holding
court in Mclntosh for the last week, and
he will convene the superior court and
charge the grand jury to-morrow at 10
o’clock. Judge Ferrill will also be back
to-day and will convene the probate court
to-morrow morning. The ordinary’s
court has a small docket for this term
and there are very few matters of any im
portance to come up.
CRIMINAL CASES IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
There are in all seventy-two cases on
the superior court criminal docket, thirty
of which are jail cases. The others are
out on bond, and among them are some
that will, perhaps, be the most interest
ing of all. There are several out on bond
charged with embezzlement, forgery,
gambling and similar offenses, cases
which excited no little interest at the
time tho charges were mado.
There are thirty criminals now. in jail
awaiting trial by this court. Among
them are five charged with murder, two
old cases, Blois and Heyward, the Meyer
murderers, and three whose deeds have
been committed within the last three or
four months. Isaac Young, charged with
the murder of a woman on Wilmington
island, and William Quartermain and
Bristoe Hunter, who murdered Joe Davis
at Thunderbolt one Sunday night about a
month ago. The other criminals are
charged with lesser offenses.
OTHER BUSINESS IN THE COURT.
There is a good deal of other business to
he transacted in this court, though the
docket is by no means an unusually large
one.
Monday will bo devoted largely to as
signments, and Tuesday it is probable
that Judge Falligant will go un to Au
gusta. Wednesday will be divorce day
in the court, and the criminal docket
which will be gotten out of tho way first
will be taken up during the latter part of
the week.
Of civil jury cases there are 188 old and
36 new, a total of 224; of certiorari cases,
13 old and 8 new, a total of 21; of fore
closure cases, 6 old and 3 new; 50 mo
tions, 72 criminal cases and 52 appear
ance cases, or a grand total of 428 cases
with which the court will have to deal
during the December term.
IN THE CITY COURT.
The city court will continue to grind.
The criminal department of this court
has of late been doing a work which Maj.
Blandford lias desired for sometime,
namely, sending recruits to the chain
gang. A good batch went out as the re
sult of yesterday’s work, as follows:
Robert Arllne got four months, and
William and Joseph Beck flu, or three
months, for vagrancy.
Henry Jenkins was sent out for twelve
months for the larceny of an overcoat and
a pair of pants from the house of Josiah
Williams.
Aleck Coleman was sent out for twelve
months for stealing two coats from the
house of Bradley Johnson.
John Sweet got SSO, or six months, for
tho larceny of a pair of horse clippers
from an unknown party. He could not
account for their being in his possession,
and the only supposition under the cir
cumstances was that they were stolen.
Henry Russell was sent out for twelve
months for stealing some clothing and
other articles from the house of B. A.
Daley.
Richard Page got twelve months for
stealing a coat aud vest from Jackson
Young.
Ben Wallace, Robert Washington and
Wilson Morton, charged with vagrancy,
and Thomas Vincent, charged with sim
ple larceny, were acquitted.

OUR WHOLESALE TRADE.
Savannah’s Commercial Advantages
Offered to the Country Merchants.
The wholesale trade of Savannah is an
important factor in the business of the
city. It has grown with the growth of
Savannah, and our merchants have sought
to huiid up this branch of trade, and have
carried jobbing lots sufficient to meet the
demands through the country, and their
traveling representatives are always
among the trade and are ready at all
times to meet the closest competition
from all quarters.' The trade is extended
throughout the states of Georgia, Florida
and South Carolina, and no city in the
country can offer better inducements to
the country merchants than Savannah,
the leading city of the southeast.
The railroad facilities of Savannah are
unequaled, while the deep water of our
river and harbor adds to the great com
mercial advantages of our city, thus en
abling our merchants to secure low rates
of freight from all parts of the world, and
ship to country merchants over our vari
ous lines at rates below any other point.
In a wholesale dealer's directory, pub
lished in this issue, will be found the ad
vertisements of several of our leading
houses who supply the trade. Among
them are well-known establishments, and
visitors who come to the city on the mer
chants’ excursions are invited and rec
ommended to call upon them and see the
advantages which they have to offer to
the trade.

Good Cigars.
To the majority of gentlemen tourists,
travelers and votaries of pleasure, good
cigars are coveted things. It is often a
puzzle when in a strange place to discover
where and what are the best cigars to
buy unless one is posted by a good judge
or disinterested party, if the opinions of
the best Judges of cigars in this city are
worthy of respect, the brands “Infanta
Eulalia” and “Le Panto" are regarded
b.v them as superior to all others at the
prices they are retailed. Therefore, upon
reflection, it is not surprising that they
are handled by nearly every retailer in
this city. Their sales over the counters
exceed those of other brands. They are
held In high regard in Washington, Old
Point Comfort, Asheville, Richmond,
Petersburg, Norfolk, Augusta. Macon,
Charleston and many other cities.
The "Infanta Eulalia” Is made at Key-
West of selected Havana wrappers anil
fillers of the best quality. The “Le
Panto” is a small cigar, made with
Havana fillers; the latter are sold at re
tail at five cents each, and are considered
the equal of majority of cigars that are
retailed at double that price.—ad.
What is Music?
A wit has defined it as “A succession of
harmonious sounds which some popple
pay a dollar to hear aud others pay ten
cents to have sent into the next block. ”
But, “Great Scott," wouldn't he reverse
his witticism and pay at least five dollars
to have some of the rattle-tran pianos one
is obliged to listeuto, sent into the next
county ! Heavens! how their vile jangles
do tear up the circumambient atmos
phere! More than likely the proud pos
sessors paid a big price for them, too, and
think they really have musical instru
ments. There's some differ, nee between
a rattle-trap and a piano. We have been
selling pianos for twenty-five years, and
we can save you money, time and vexa
tion. Call on us.
