Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. I.—Growers are
still holding their oranges awaiting better
prices, and as a result quotations have in
creased considerably, withont, however,
starting a much heavier movement of the
fruit north. As the News s lid some time ago
that part of the crop subject to injury from
frost has been shipped, leaving the cart un
shipped that growers can hold with compara
tive safety. Shipments through the city now
average about 15,000 boxes daily, and are
slightly Ihcreasing. Two-thirds of the fruit
goes to the east, and one third to the west.
Eastern markets seem stronger, and have
been cleaned up better. Last quotations at
New York average $2.10 for fancy brights.
with good lines at $1.90. Buffalo quotations
are practically the same. Cincinnati brights
average SI.BO. Chicago is about on a par with
New York. Baltimore brights at SI.BO, and
straight lines at $1.70.
1894’S OALA DAY.
Savannahians Give the New Year a
Welcome Reception.
New Year’s day was celebrated with
great eclat in SavaDnah. It was almost
as general a holiday as Christmas.
There was little business done and a
great deal of sport for those so inclined.
The colored population was out in full
force to celebrate emancipation day, and
did so to their great satisfaction. The
military parade of the colored troops
with their thousands of admirers made
things lively during the morning.
The day was a half holiday with the
business people. Nearly every place of
business was closed at 2 o’clock and mer
chants and employes were hurrying to get
out to the races and the foot
ball game. Large crowds at
tended both affairs, there being about
2,000 people at each place. The streets
were thronged later in the afternoon with
the crowds returning from the game and
the races, and the winners and the back
ers of the successful team were quite
loud in their demonstrations. The shout
ers for the football teams tilled the air
with their “sis-rah-boom-de-ay” and the
rest of their war cries. Savannah’s suc
cess in the football game quite set the
urchins wild, and they were not at all
backward in expressing their jubilation.
The clubs and hotels were crowded un
til a late hour and everybody seemed in a
holiday humor. The streets were quite
lively until a late hour. The boys took
possession of the streets and squares
again and repeated their Christmas bon
fires and fireworks. (Madison square and a
number of other squares in the southern
part of the city were illuminated with
bonfires and there were several in the
park extension. Quite a lot of fireworks
were let off, too.
Last night about ends the holiday cele
brations. The boys have four more days
yet in which to ravage the squares, by
permission of the city ordinances, but the
supply of barrels is about exhausted.
Their pocket money, too, has all gone for
fireworks, and their parents will take ad
vantage of the opening of the new year to
close their pocketbooks. and refuse to be
cajoled out of further change, to be sent
up in smoke.
Altogether, the boys, and the girls, too,
have had a pretty jolly Christmas, and
have had less reason to complain of hard
times than the rest of the community.
They have had their fun in their way,
and ought to be willing to go back to
their books, but with the contrariness of
young human nature everywhere it is two
to one they are not.
Yesterday was not a very good day for
New Year resolutions, and it may be put
down, as a fact, that most of those who
were so unwise as to make their resolu
tions in the morning made some relapses '
before the day was over.
To-day is a better day for resolving.
The holidays are over, and resolutions
•‘not to do so any more” will not be sub
jected to such a strain as they wore yes
terday. It would be a good idea, the busi
ness men_rhink, for everybody to resolve to
pay tm'ir' bills promptly, especially
those contracted during the holidays, and
not to go in debt any deeper this year
than they can afford to pay out on the
first of every month. This will be a good
year to practice economy, anyway, with
the lessons of the previous year still fresh
in mind.
Let everybody resolve not to write
“1893” when they mean ”1894,” and paste
the resolution in his hat. This will save
time and profanity, if adhered to.
CHARGED WITH BLACKMAIL.
W. H. Hutchings Locked Up for a Pe
culiar Proceeding.
W. H. Hutchings, a young white man,
was locked up in the barracks last night
on a charge of attempting to black
mail Madame Connolly at No.
23 South Broad street. Hutchings
went to the house, claiming to be a United
States detective and a special officer of
the city. He claimed to have a case
against the place for selling liquor on
Sunday, and offered to drop it if he
was paid ?50. His game did not
work, however, and he is likely
to have considerable trouble explaining
matters. Hutchings ought to offer his
services as a South Carolina liquor spy.
LOCAL PERSONAL.
Miss Belle De olaGael, of Darien, is in
the city visiting Mrs. C. M. Craig. No. 48

who has been visiting relatives in the
city for some days past, left last night
for Athens, where he goes to complete his
post-graduate course'at the university.
At the Y. M. C. Association.
The Young Men’s Christian Associa

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1894.
HADLEY TOO FAST FOR THEM
The Florida Pacer Leads the Proces
sion at Thnnderboit.
A Crowd Witnesses the New Year’s
Events—Lake Shore and Baltic Run
a Dead Heat—Old South Captures the
Three-quarter Race—Hadley Does
Not Disappoint His Backers.
A perfect day of bright sunshine glad
dened the hearts of the horsemen at the
Thunderbolt Driving Park yesterday.
The weather was all that could be de
sired. and Manager A. P. Doyle’s card of
racing for the afternoon fulfilled the most
hopeful expectations of the patrons of his
park.
The track, though safe, was very slow.
The recent wet weather made it a perfect
sea of mud. Had the track been in good
condition it is safe to say that 2:30 in the
harness race would have been beaten and
anew record established for the track.
Fully 1.000 people were in attendance.
The free-for-all harness race was first
called, and a superb field of horses an
swered the bell call.
The starters were Jeremiah, Morena,
Hadley, Jr., Pat Fallon and Anna W.
Hadley, Jr., was a strong favorite in the
betting. After several short delays,
caused by the breaking of the harness on
Jeremiah, and the changing of the boots
on Hadley, Jr., the horses finally scored
up for the word.
OFF FOR THE FREE-FOR-ALL.
At the third attempt they were sent on
their journey for the first heat to a good
start. Hadley, Jr., immediately took the
pole on the first turn, and won pretty
much as he pleased. The fight for second
place was very interesting. Morena finally
won the place with Jeremiah third, Fal
lon fourth and Anna W fifth. Time of
heat, 2:36tj.
Anna W could not trot in the mud, and
Mr. Kerr did riot start her the second
beat, as he felt that his mare would
suffer severe punishment if he continued
the race. He was allowed to withdraw
her. In the second heat the audience
had an opportunity of seeing
Hadley, Jr., do some great pac
ing. When the word was given
the four horses went away to a splendid
start. Hadley, as usual, paced to the
front. Before the first quarter was
reached he stepped in a hole and broke.
The other entries immediately went away
from him.
HADLET SHOWS HIS SPEED.
Morena was in the lead, closely fol
lowed by Jeremiah and Fallon. The
leaders were so far in front of Hadley
that every one felt that the great pacer
would get the flag. From the “half
mile" pole Hadley began to gain
rapidly on the leaders, and
when they reached the three-quarter
pole he was in the bunch. The race home
was an easy one for Hadley, and he
finished two lengths in front, with Jere
miah second, Morena third and Fallon
fourth. The heat was given to Jeremiah,
and Hadley, Jr., was set last for his long
run after he broke. Timeof heat, 2:48' ~
Morena was given second place and Fal
lon third. . •
The third and fourth heats resulted
in a procession for Hadley. He
had the speed of the party and
had no trouble in winning both
heats. Time, 2:47>4 and 2:52. Hadley
could have easily shut out the other en
tries the last heat if he was called upon
to do so.
Fallon won second money and Morena
third. Jeremiah was flagged the fourth
heat.
The favorite Hadley, Jr., was driven
by Mr. James A. Dell, of Baltimore, who
handled him with much skill. This was
the first time Mr. Dell ever sat be
hind the horse.
THE RUNNING RACE.
The event of the afternoon’s pro
gramme was the five-eighth-mile heat
running race. Lake Shore, Little Baltick
and Alta were the three horses that
ranged up for the word, and a more evenly
matched field of runners was never seen
on a track.
Jockey Bell, “the kid,” had the mount
on Ijike Shore, Bub Gardner on Little
Baltick and the colored jockey of the
Kutledge stable rode Alta. Alta had the
pole, Little Baltick second place and Lake
Shore for the outside. Little time was
lost at the post. When Starter Furlong
dropped the flag the three entries went
away at a flying clip.
Everyone could at once see that it was
going to be a great race.
As the horses passed the stand on the
first eighth of a mile they presented a
beautiful picture. Little Baltick was first,
with Lake Shore at his neck and Alto a
close third.
From this point the three jockies be
gan to make their ride for the heat.
LAKE SHORE AT BALTICK’S HEAD.
When the horses turned into the back
stretch Jockey Bell tapped Lake Shore
with the whip, and the gallant gelding
moved up to Baltick's head. The two
leaders ran with their heads together
until they swung into the homestretch for
the finish Now the battle for
first money began. It was a desperate
fight and stirred up the wildest enthusi
asm in the grand stand. Gardner began
to use the steel vigorously on Baltick and
the game little stallion responded to
every touch. A hundred yards from the
wire Baltick had a head the best of it.
Inch by inch Lake Shore gained on him
and when the horses ran under the wire
nose and nose the yells from the excited
audience were intense. The judges pro
nounced it a dead heat.
In the second heat Lake Shore was too
much for Baltick, and won by half a
length. Time of heats, 1:10, 1
The three-quarter heat running race was
also a hotly contested affair. Carbine, Old
South and Duke of Kent were
the contestants. Old South won. with
Duke of Kent second. Time of heats,
1:28. 1:27.
This race concluded the afternoon’s
programme.

MBS. LEASE OPENS HER FIGHT.
She -Changes a Meeting Place, But
the Governor Says It Will Be Held.
Topeka, Kas., Jan. I.—Mrs. M. E.
Lease, the deposed president of the state
board of charities, made her first aggres
sive movement this afternoon in her fight
to retain her position and accomplish the
defeat of Gov. Lewelliug for a renomina
tion. A meeting of the state board of
charities was called some time ago to be
held at Winfield to-morrow, but Mrs.
Lease to-day telegraphed to each of
the four other members of the board in
forming them that she had cnanged the
place of meeting to Olathe. The gover
nor, hearing of her action, promptly sent
a dispatch to the members of the board,
saying that J. W. Freeborn had been ap
pointed to succeed Mrs. Lease, and that
he would be present at Winfield to-mor
row to attend the meeting and assume
Mrs. Lease's place on the board.
It is now quite certain that the two re
publican members of the board will meet
with Mrs. Lease at Olathe to-morrow,
and that the two populist members will
recognize the governor's action in remov
ing her and meet with Mr. Freeborn at
Winfield.
QUO WARRANTO PROCEEDINGS.
Mrs. I -ease instructed her
attorney to commence quo war
ranto (proceedings in the supreme
court at 8 o’clock to-morrow morning to
prevent Mr. Freeborn from assuming tho
functions of president of the state board
of charities, or from acting as a member
of the board. Should she succeed in se
curing an order from the court, as she ex
pects to, she. with the two republican
members, will constitute a legal quorum
and this will make such changes in the
management of the state institutions as
Mrs. Lease desires.
MAY HAVE OVERSTEPPED HIS AUTHORITY.
The governor, in peremptorily remov
ing Mrs. Lease, has, in the opinion of the
legal authorities, overstepped his author
ity, for the statute expressly states that
the governor cannot remove a member of
the board of charities except for cause,
and then prescribes how the removal
shall be accomplished. He may suspend
pending an investigation after
formal charges have been made.
Then the governor, lieutenant governor,
and speaker of the House are required to
meet and select a court, to consist of three
members of the House and two of the
Senate, who shall hear charges and take
testimony. On the verdict of this court
the governor may, if the charges are
deemed sufficient and are proven, remove
the accused.
MAKING IT HOT FOR THE GOVERNOR.
While Mrs. Lease has been looking
carefully after her own interests, she has
not neglected to begin her promised war
fare against the governor. Yesterday a
committee of twenty delegates en route
to the meeting of the State Federation of
Labor called at Leavenworth on Gov.
Lewelling and demanded the immediate
removal of State Labor Commis
sioner Todd. The committee told the
governor that Commissioner Todd in no
way represented them, and that he not
only disregarded the administration, but
injured the cause of labor. The discus
sion with the governor became heated,
and when the committee threatened to
“roast” him if he did not comply with
their demands, the governor replied:
“Roast and be d——d.”
It is reported in state house circles that
some startling charges are to be made by
the governor and his associates against
Mrs. Lease to-morrow.
A HOUSE OF DEATH.
Gas Causes the Demise of a Man and a
Servant Girl.
Independence, Kan., Jan. I.—This morn
ing the home of George W. Reed, manager
of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, was
broken into by A1 Brown, Mr. Reed’s son
in-law, and neighbors, who had' become
suspicious that all was not right in the
house, no one having been stirring since
Saturday evening. The discovery made
was horrifying. The body of Mr. lieed
was found sitting in a chair before a hot
stove fed by natural gas. It was clothed
only in a night shirt, and was in an ad
vanced stage of decomposition.
The dead body of Edith Scott, a domes
tic, was found lying on the floor of her
room.
Mrs. Reed and her five-year old son
were found in bed, the mother uncon
scious and tho boy in a dying condition.
Mrs. Reed may possibly recover.
Two gas stoves in the house were burn
ing at full force, and the fact that no
bruises or marks were found on either
the dead or living, makes it probable that
gas poisoning is the cause of the tragedy.
Mr. Reed and Miss Scott had plainly
been dead thirty-six hours. The contents
of the stomachs will be examined. Mrs.
Reed has not yet sufficiently recovered to
throw any light on the affair.
OHIO’S LEGISLATURE.
The State’s Congressman Called on to
Fight Against Free Wool,
Columbus. 0., Jan. 1.--The Ohio gen
eral assembly met to-day, and organiza
tion in both branches was effected in ac
cordaneed with the republican caucuses
of Saturday, Alexander Box well being
chosen speaker of the House and Thomas
H. McOnnica opresident pro tem of
the Senate.
The first resolution in the House calls
upon the Ohio congressmen to resist the
movement to put wool on the free list,
and the first one in the Senate is tho
initial step toward bliennial sessions.
Gov. McKinley will be inaugurated one
week from to-day. In his inaugural ad
dress it is expected that ho will deal with
national politics. In the message to the
general assembly, read to-day, he confines
himself to state matters, unless an intro
ductory reference to the industrial de
pression is an allusion to natiouat politics.
JACKSON PARK THROWN OPEN.
Thousands Crowd the Midway in
Search of Relics.
Chicago, Jau. I.—The people of Chicago
took possession of Jackson park anew to
day. At 7 o’clock the gates were thrown
open. Fifty people were waiting at the
entrance to the Midway Plaisance. From
that hour the crowds passing. through the
gates increased. At 1 o'clock, when
the press was greatest, it seemed
much like the summer en
acted anew. People came on foot and in
i their carriages. The relic hunters were
in their glory. Each separate ruin con
tributed to the welcome vandalism.
Mosaics and ornaments, bits of plaster
and tiling, nails, wood, anything was
seized as a precious trophy. The Java
village was plundered without hinder
ance and by evening it was entirely de
nuded.
BRAZIL'S NEW NAVY.
Peixoto Will Soon Have Seventeen
Boats at His Command.
Washington, Jan. I.—All of the Brazil
ian naval vessels purchased in this coun
try and England have arrived at ports in
Brazil. Minister Mendonca to-day re
ceived official notification of tho
arrival of the America at Pernambuco,
and was also informed that tho torpedo
boat Destroyer will sail from Martinique
on Jan. 3, arriving at its destination
about Jan. 15. It Is expected that, in the
middle of the present month, ten
torpedo boats, five gunboats and two
cruisers will be In position to act in con
cert along the coast of Brazil. Twelve of
these seventeen boats are now in position,
and when the other five arrive it is ex
pected that a naval battle will take
place, precipitated by the government
vessels.
TRYING TO CET EVEN.
The Central Wants the Savannah and
Western to Repay it $700,000.
Will Ask the Court to Order Re
ceivers Comer and Lowry to Is
sue Receiver’s Certificates to the
Central (for That Amount—The
Petition May Be Strenuously
Fought By the Savannah and
Western Bondholders, As the Cer
tificates Would Bea First Lien.
A Motion That the Southwestern
Will Fight to the End.
There is an intervention which has
been recently filed in the United States
circuit court in the suit of the Central
Trust Company of New York vs. the Sa
vannah and Western railroad which will
no doubt bring about an interesting fight
when it comes on for a hearing next
Thursday.
The intervention is filed In the name of
Receivers Comer and Hayes, of the Cen
tral railroad, and asks that thooourt order
Receivers Comer and Lowry, of
the Savannah and Western railroad,
to issue receivers’ certificates
to the amount of $701,080.85
to reimburse the Central railroad for
that amount which has been expended
out of the general fund of the Central
Railroad and Banking Company to the
advantage of the properties of the Savan
nah and Western Railroad Company.
That amount includes $429,724.91, which
is the amount of the deficit of the earn
ings of the different roads comprising the
Savannah and Western system, from tho
operating expenses. This amount in
cludes the $148,216.06, which the rebuild
ing of the Coosa tunnel cost,
besides the purchase of rails
and other supplies used on the Savannah
and Western.
The balance, $271,355.94 is. the amount
which has beeu paid out by the Central
on the bonds und car trust notes of the
different Hues comprising the Savannah
and Western.
Tho petition asks Receivers Comer
and Lowry be ordered to repay these
amounts to the receivers of the Central
railroad with interest, or that theybe re
quired to issue receivers’ certificates for
the amount which can be negotiated by
the petitioners.
EFFECT OF SUCH AN ORDER.
The effect of such an order, if
granted would, of course, be to diminish
the value of the bonds of the Savannah
and Western and the lines composing it,
as these certificates would constitute a
first lien on tho property. The property
is bonded for more than $lO,-
000,000 now, on which the
Central’s indorsement has been declared
valid. This amount is about all the prop
erty can well carry, if not considerably
more.
The receivers ask that the Farmers’ Izian
and Trust Company, of New York, as trus
tees under the Romo and Carrollton, tho
Columbus and Rome, and the Columbus
and Western mortgages and the Central
Trust Company as trustoe under the
Chattanooga. Rome and Columbus mort
gage, be made parties defendant to the
suit. Tho bondholders will, no doubt,
make a strenuous fight against the peti
tion being granted, as the property as it
stands at present will not realize the
amount of its bonded indebtedness.
The petitioners are represented by
Messrs. Lawton and Cunningham, and
Mr. Julian T. Davies, attorney for the
tripartite bondholders, who will, of
course, want to see the certificates issued,
as that would probably mean that the
past due interest on these bonds will be
paid. Mr. Pat Calhoun and Mr. Leopold
Wallach, for Messrs. Brown, Borg and
others, will appear for those holders of
Savannah and Western bonds to oppose
the granting of any such order.
THE SOUTHWESTERN’S FUND.
Another matter of importance to come
up Thursday is the motion of tho Farm
ers’ Loan and Trust Company that the
money now in the hands of the receivers
of the Central, which they had intended
to ask the court for in order to pay the
Southwestern, it having been earned by
that road, be applied to the payment of
the past due interest on the tripartite
bond.
This motion will of course be resisted
by the Southwestern. The equity
of the petitioners, of course,
lies in the fact that one-third of the tri
partite debt, together with interest, has
been saddled on the Southwestern, and
now that the receivers have money in
hand which represents the earnings
of that road, they want to
have, it paid on the interest due, instead
of going to the Southwestern Railroad
Company.
Mr. Frank 11. Miller, of Augusta, will
appear to oppose this motion in behalf of
the Southwestern. Altogether, it seems
that Thursday’s hearing may be produc
tive of some very interesting develop
ments.
$lO For Rock Throwing.
In a difficulty, growing out a question
of dog ownership, which occurred in the
neighborhood of Washington square Sun
day night, ex-Policeman John Kelly was
struck in the head with a rock and badly
cut. “Babe” Dyer, after vainly trying to
wrest the dog from Kelly's arms, ran off
some distance and threw the missile.
It struck Kelly on the side of his head
making a wound which required several
stitches. Dr. W. E. Norton attended him.
Policeman Dyer, a brother of Babe,
with the same spirit that actuated Bru
tus of old when he consigned his two sons
to death, escorted the rock thrower to the
barracks Recorder Wilson fined the
young man $lO yesterday morning and
turned him over to the city court.
A BLAZE AT BOSTON.
The Globe Theater Fired by an Ex
plosion of Gas.
Boston, Jan. 2, 2:15 a. m.—At 1:15
o’clock this morning an explosion of gas
caused a fire in the Globe theater on
Washington street, between Essex street
and Hayward Place. The fire started
near the scene room and spread rapidly
through the building.
Hanlon Bros., “Superba” was occupy
ing the house and the properties were
saved with great difficulty.
The flames soon spread to the Globe
cafe on Hayward Place, owned by H.
Brock, and to the upper portion of a
new building at the corner of Washington
street unu Hayward Place, owned
by the Harvard college trustees, and oc
cupied by Miller & Cos., printer, tho
Free Employment Bureau and George
Kaffer, a dealer in window shades, etc.
The fire is not yet under control.
The Globe theater will undoubtedly
prove a total loss.
CARPET HANDS CUT.
The Pay In the Dobson Mills at Phila
delphia Reduced.
Philadelphia. Jan. I.—The carpet and
plush department of John and James
Dobson’s mills have been notified that tho
wages of all employes will be reduced
from 10 to 15 [jer cent, according to the
amount of wages. It is thought that the
other departments, which are now idle,
may resume this week at a similar reduc
tion.
