OUR TRADE REVIEW.
It Will Give a Full Statement of
Savannah’s Business tor the
Last Year.
The business year in Savannah that is
j D st closing- will be long remembered
t, v her business men as one of
great business depression. There has
been, however, no violent disturbance of
Savannah's prosperity, though like all
other cities she has not had that business
activity which characterizes her trade
when business is in a normal condition.
The last cause for dull trade has disap
peared and there is no reason now why
there should not be a good time close ahead.
The silver question and the tariff have
been practically settled for the present,
and if there are any national causes for
business disturbances it is to be hoped
that they are so far off that it is not in
order at this time to consider them. It
seems that it is only necessary to say
••Let’s have good times,” and they are
here.
The diversified commerce of Savannah
must soon restore the city to its normal
prosperity. With deep water, this win
ter will see more ships at her wharves
than ever before, and that means more
Dusiness of every kind. Those who
should know say that Savannah
will probably be the second cotton port
this year, and that her receipts will go
far over 1,000,000 bales. Her naval
stores, lumber and phosphate interests
will add hundreds of thousands of tons
to the freights that are carried from this
port in ships.
Since our last annual report the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
has been completed to this city, and now
forms a part of anew route from Florida
to the north and west. Its principal
interest to Savannah is in building
up the country tributary to the city. The
railroad company has organized a bureau
of immigration and has gone to work in
earnest to secure settlers.
Savannah's two great railroad systems,
the Central railroad and the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, are in
splendid condition to handle all the busi
ness offering, and with the revival of
business will do their share towards help
ing Savannah in her onward course.
The crop reports are very favorable,
especially so in the territory from which
Savannah gets her trade, and this year
there will be no difficulty in merchants
getting all the money they may need to
handle the cotton crop. It will be to a
great extent a cash crop to the farmers,
and they will have more money to spend
with our merchants than they have had
in any one of the past three
years. They will he on the look
out for many articles for per
sonal, household and farm purposes,
which they have had to do without for
some time.
The outlook is more promising, viewed
from any standpoint, than it has been for
years.
The Morning News and the Weekly
News (the latter now issued twice a
week) are the mediums of communication
between the sellers of the city and the
buyers from the interior. The read
ers of these papers scan their
columns for information as to what
they should buy and from whom they
should buy. The merchant who does not
advertise in this age doesn’t belong to it.
He was born a century too late, possibly
longer. Every man or woman who is
carrying on a business is not up to date
unless he or she spends more, or as much,
in advertising as for store rent. The
Morning News has been working for
Savannah for forty-five years. It
has gone through all of her trials and par
ticipated in all her triumphs during that
period. To the outside world it repre
sents all of Savannah's interests and en
terprises.
The Annual Review presents an oppor
tunity for advertising which every man
or woman that has any reason whatever
to advertise should take advantage of. it
is an occasion when Savannah makes her
best bow to the people outside of her
limits. The Morning News has
worked to have railroads built so
as to get people to trade with
Savannah and it doesn't want what it has
labored for so long and hard to be of little
or no benefit. To that end it purposes *o
make the Annual Trade Review a convinc
ing argument with those who doubt Sa
vannah's ability to handle the trade of
Georgia. Florida, South Carolina and Ala
bama. The Morning News repeats that
it wants to have every business house and
business enterprise represented in its An
nual Trade Review, which will be issued
early in September. It will contain a
bistory of the trade during the business
year, showing the developments of the
past twelve months and the encouragingly
bright future prospects of our important
commercial city.
Every subscriber of the Morning News
and Weekly News will receive a copy of
tbe Annual Trade Review.
Advertisers get the advantage of reach
ing the thousands of readers of these two
great publications at a cost not exceed
ing the price of space in either the Morn
-IXO News or the Weekly News.
Every merchant should be represented.
They cannot afford not to have their ads
in the Annual Trade Review. It is im
portant and necessary that they pro
claim their business advantages to tho
world.
The live business man knows the value
®f advertising.

THE GREAT PULLMAN STRIKE.
Vice President Wickes and Others
Testify Before the Commission.
Chicago, Aug. 28.—At the beginning of
this morning s session of the national
labor commission Chairman Wright an
nounced that he had requested the differ
ent railroads centering in Chicago to tile
statements of losses caused bv tne recent
strike The gross loss on the' Alton was
estimated at $286,860. The amount of
damage to the Lake Shore was put at
f0,104. The loss in earnings was not
given, not having yet been compiled
Charles E. Webb, chief clerk of the
Pullman bank, told anew story of the
Jennie Curtis episode, in which it has
been alleged that Miss Curtis was com
pelled to nay rent on a debt owed by her
father, who died in arrears to the.com
pany. Mr. Webb said Miss Curtis offered
of her owu account to do so
General Superintendent E V. Brough
ton of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
filed a statement showing the loss of the
road during the strike to be 40 per cent,
of the receipts during an ordinary year.
General Superintendent John D. Bes’.er
of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
road declared the property loss to be
§115,000.
Vice President Wickes of the Pullman
company then took the stand. He was
cross questioned by Chairman Wright:
"Can you tell me the average profit on
a Pullman car?”
"That depends on the state of business.
We have to go into competition with
other companies. Sometimes the profit
is 2 per cent, and sometimes 5, and some
times 10 per cent.
Mr. Wickes said the company lost $51,-
000 in trying to give its men work. Dur
ing this time the men contributed labor
worth $60,000. He thought, perhaps, as it
has turned out, the better business policy
of the company would have been to grant
the demands of the men, but there was
a principle involved which he did not
think could be ignored. If the demands
had been granted, there might have been
trouble in future years.
"Doiyou not think it would have been a
good business policy for the Pullman com
pany to have sold its employes homes?”
"I don't think it would have been wise
to sell lots to employes indiscriminately.
Evil influences would almost certainly
have crept in when the company lost con
trol of the lands.”
' Ilow many cars does the Pullman
company operates'’
"About 2.600. Many of these cars are
lying on side tracks cietevioeating. hence
the $25,u00.000 surplus must be taken as
such only with this fact remembered.
It costs us nearly as much to keep the
old cars in repair as they earn.”
The witness ascribed' the world's fair
as oue of the causes of the strike. He
said: "The men were making very large
wages during the fair year, as we let
them do as much overtime as they
pleased I suppose they found it very
hard, after the prosperous times of the
exposition year, to come down to bed
rock prices.”
■‘Has the Pullman company ever in
creased wages voluntarily?”
"It has in the case of some of the shop
men.”
“But not as regards any large body of
men!”
“No sir.”
“Don't you think it would be a good
plan to increase the wages of the men in
prosperous years—in other words, to reg
ulate the wages by the amount of busi
ness done by the employers?”
"No, Ido not think that plan would
work at ail. It would have a tendency to
slipshod business methods. We go into
the market for our men just as we do for
materials. It is all regulated by the law
of supply and demand.”
Mr. Wickes thought that if the men at
Pullman had been let alone by outsiders
they would have gone back to work. He,
however, gave Vice President Howard of
the American Hailway Union credit for
having advised the Pullman employes not
to strike. No orders for evictions had
been given out yet, although the employes
owe the company SIOO,OOO for back rents.”
“Was a reduction of wages made every
time a contract was taken at a loss by
the company?” “No, sir; Ido not think
this is true.”
"Who regulates the prices of piece
work?” "The foremen of the shops.”
“Now is it not possible that the fore
men can so reduce the price of piece
work as to make up for the loss incurred
by the company in taking contracts below
the estimated cost?”
"It is possible, but I do not think it has
been done.”
“Have you taken any steps to correct
this abuse?”
“No, sir.”
“Why were not rents reduced when
wages were cut?”
•'The question of rents was an entirely
different one from the question of wages.
Only about one-third of our employes live
in Pullman. We could not have reduced
the rents for the majority who lived out
side.”
“The rents were not based on panic
conditions, were they?”
“They were not.”
“Then why, when the panic conditions
came, would it not have been advisable
to charge lower rates;”
“There is no connection between the
Pullman car works and the town of Pull
man. The men don’t have to live in
Pullman unless they wish. They can
move out without prejudice on the part of
the company.”
Mr. Wiekes said the company as a mat
ter of fact did all the repairing, although
the lease provided that the tenant should
do it.
“Don’t you think that making them
sign an agreement to do this, whether
enforced or not, is very unjust;” was
asked.
“I’m not prepared to offer any opinion
on, that.”
“You don't recognize that there are
any questions in regard to wages that
can be properly arbitrated?”
“I do not. I think all companies know
what wages they can afford to pay.”
“What is your policy as to unions?”
asked Mr. Kernan.
"W’e don't recognize the men as mem
bers of unjons, but as individuals.”
"Do you think the men would have a
fair chance with the company, coming be
fore it one at a time?”
“If they are not able to plead their own
case it is their misfortune ”
“You don't think, then, that the men
have any right to organize for redress of
grievances?”
"No, sir; if they don’t want to work at
the wages we offer, they have the privi
lege of going somewhere else.”
The witness gave the capacity of the
works as five cars a week in the passen
ger department and forty cars per day in
the freight shops. He admitted that he
was present at one of tbe general man
agers' meetings but took no part in it.
Mr. Wiekes stated that a few years ago
Mr. Pullman's salary was only SIO,OOO a
year, as president of the company. He
declined to state what it now is, or what
that of the general officers is. None of
these had been reduced during the strike.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles was called to the
stand at the opening of the afternoon
session. He denied that he was present
at any meeting of tbe general managers,
or that he conferred with them in any
way. Ho denied making the remark at
tributed to him that he had broken the
backbone of the sirike, but admitted sav
ing, "Wo have brokenthe backbone of tho
opposition to federal government."
General Manager James Wbitmay of
the Chicago and Northwestern railroad
submitted a statement of the loss on that
road amounting to #572,65*0.
(.eneral Superintendent Sullivan of the
Illinois Central was examined at length
with special reference to the cause
of the strike on that road, which
was designated by tho President Of
the United States lor special

investigation. This was the first road to
be attacked by the American Railway
Union He said! .599 men quit work dur
ing the strike, but only 1,990 of them
were strikers. The remainder were
forced to quit by the strikers.
"How did you learn this'" asked Com
missioner Kernan. "By a careful in
vestigation.” Mr. Sullivan couid only
mention two cases of assault on new men
by strikers and about sixty arrests of
strikers. All of the 1,609 men forced to
quit work were taken back and
689 of the actual strikers, leaving
1.310 strikers who had been
permanently dismissed from the service
of the company. The gross loss to the
road by the strike was estimated at $740,-
000.
W. O. Johnson, counsel for the Chicago
and Erie railroad, submitted a statement
showing the loss on that road to te $115,-
276 on account of the strike.
SITUATION UNCHANGED.
As Matters Now Stand Nothing Is to
Be Done but Wait.
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 28.—T0-day the
streets of the city are noticeable because
of the large crowds of idle operators dis
r cussing the action of the carders and
spinners unions last night in voting to
forego benefits ponding settlement of the
present troubles. The impression is
abroad in town that the spinners and
carders are preserving their funds to
make a firht with when the four weeks’
vacation period is at an end. and the
course.of the Manufacturers’ Association
will be made known. As matters now
stqnd there is nothing to be done 'but
await developments in the market.
REPORTS CONTRADICTED.
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 28 —The Fall
River Globe publishes the following to
night regarding the situation in this city:
"Millmen were up in arms this morning
over the reports which have been circu
lated to the effect that there was a break
in their ranks or that there was going to
be a break or that they were going to at
tempt to start up the day after labor day.
They want it understood that they
were never so cemented together as they
are at present, and that they will not
open the gates until the help are ready to
go to work and announce that they are
ready. They state that no paper has
been drawn up for signatures with
a view' to enticing a majority of
the members of the association to
give up and restore the old
schedule of wages, and that no meeting
of the executive committee has been held.
In’ a word, the agents express themselves
as very contented with the situation as it
stands and deny that any effort has been
made or will be to bring about a chauge.
They signed an agreement, they say, and
tney have got to stick to it.
LACKS CONFIRMATION.
New Bedford, Mass., Aug. 28.—1 t is re
ported at the north end that the Bristol
and Fierce mills will start their machin
ery next week and thepperatives
will go to work on the old schedule of
prices, but the report cannot be confirmed.
FILLING FOR ALL THE LOOMS.
Dover. N. 11., Aug. 28.—This morning
all of the Cocheco mill No. 1 was started,

It is expected that similar arrangements
will soon be made for the other mills
where weaving is now stopped.
GROVER’S VACATION.
He Will Leave for Gray Gables the
First Thing This Morning.
Washington, Aug. 28.—Unless some

present intention of President
Cleveland to leave for Gray

President will be accompanied
by Secretary Lamont and Pri
vate Secretary Thurber. Col. Lamont
will go only as far as New York, but Mr.
Thurber will continue with the Presi
dent to Gray Gabies. It could not be as
certained whether the remainder of the
trip from New Y ork would be made as
before, on the light house tender John D.
Rogers, or via the Fall River line, as no
one would admit at the white house that
Mr. Cleveland intended to leave to mor
row morning.

cent rains have been very disastrous to
crops. Reports from the agricultural re
gions of the state are to the effect that

been committed in a boarding house last
night, it was learned that there were
stolen two gold watches and about SBO

thought to be a mulatto who has been hang
ing around the place several days.
COMPRESS MEN MEET.
Important Business Transacted and
Officers Elected.
Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 28.—Comnressmen
representing the principal cotton com
presses of most of the southern states
east of the Mississippi river met here
this afternoon to receive the report of the
committee recently appointed to go be
fore the Southern Railway and Steam
ship Association to urge a ‘restoration of
the old rate for compressing. In view of
the strained relations between the com
press men and the railroads due to the
action of the latter it was expected that
the meeting to-day would develop some
thing interesting, and that exoectation
was fully realized in both the views, ex
pressed by the compressmer. and by their
ultimate action.
The trouble between the compressmrn
and the railroads was brought about by
the Southern Kail way and Steamship As
sociation at its meeting in New Tork
several weeks ago. At that meeting the
association acting upon the claim that the
compresses were getting the lion's share
of the profits in handling cotton, reduced
the rate paid for compressing from 10
cents a hundred pounds to 7 cents. This
reduction, without giving the-compress
men a chance to be heardr excited them,
and at a largely attended meeting held in
Atlanta shortly after the action
of the railroads in New
York, a committee was appointed
to appear before tne Southern Railway
and steamship Association at an ad
journed meeting, to be held at Manhattan
Beach. This committee went there and
made an argument to induce the associa
tion to restore the 10 cent rate, but failed
to make any impression on the railroad
managers. To-day the compressmen
heard their committee’s report, it was
received with considerable warmth, the
action of the railroads being character
ized as arbitrary and unjust in the ex
treme. It appeared to be a case where
the > compressmen had to grin
and bear it, until it was sug
gested that the railroad commission be
appealed to. The suggestion was ac
cepted and a committee appointed to wait
upon the railroad commission, which was
in session at the capitol, and ascertain
whether that body had jurisdiction in
such a case. The railroad commissioners,
after hearing the committee, decided to
lake up the case and set the hearing for
next T uesday at II) o'clock a. in. Circu
lars have already been sent out to the
railroads, citing them to appear before
the commission on that date, and the in
dications are that there will be some im
portant developments. There is a differ
ence of a opinion among the compressmen
as to the railroad commissions jurisdic
tion. The railroads will, im all
probability contend that the commission
has no right to interfere.
Before adjournment the compressmen
effect*da permanent organisation with
the following officers: J. D. Turner, At
lanta, president; W H. Fisk, Mont
gomery, first vice president;!’. F. Howell,
Rome, second vice president: C. T. Camp
bell. Atlanta, secretary and treasurer.
Annual.ii eetings are to be held on the
second luesday in May. The purpose of
the organization is to secure ui i 'orm in
surant e rates, meet railroads on a more
equal ooting in such cases as the present
oue, secure proper le isiation and to ad
vance t. e mutual interests o the com
press of the so a in.
THE ROPER OUTRAGE.
Gov. Northen Offers a Reward for
Murray County Whitecappers.
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 28.—Gov. Northen to
day offered a reward of S2OO for the cap
ture of Will Morrison and A. P. Duncan,
the Murray county whitecappers who as
saulted Will Roper, an alleged informer.
Roper was taken out of the house
where he was stopping, dragged
several miles into the mountains,
and after being shot several times
was thrown to the bottom of an old well,
where he lay for six days and nights
without food or water, suffering the most
horrible agony and torture. Roper was
brought to Atlanta for surgical treatment,
having been rescued by a mountaineer
who discovered him by chance. He is
still in Atlanta. Morrison and Duncan
have succeeded in keeping clear of the
officers, and until they are captured Ro
per's life would not be safe if he returned
home.
A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Search for Burglars Reeults in the
Death of a Child.
San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 28.—Last night
Dr. Anderson O’Malley, a New York
physician, who has been in this city for
three weeks, shot his 3-year-old child ac
cidentally, and then killed it to end its
misery. The doctor and his wife have
been very nervous about burglars,
and hearing a door creak, the
father got up and with a cocked re
volver went into the children’s room
but saw no one. He poked bis little
nephew and son with the pistol to cause
them to turn over, when the weapon went
off accidentally, the ball entering the
child's side. The father then put the
pistol to the wounded child’s head and
pulled the trigger. He said the wound
was fatal, and he could not bear to see
the little one suffer. Ho is almost insane
with grief.
“Disfigured

It means isolation, seclusion.

It is an easy matter to claim to cure
