OUR TRADE REVIEW.
It Will Give a Full Statement of
Savannah’s Business for the
Last Year.
The business year in Savannah that is
just closing will be long remembered
by 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
business 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 be 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 horn 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-fivo 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 lias
labored for so long and hard to be of little
or no benefit. To that end it purposes 'o
make the Annual Trade Ueview 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
history 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-
I!i(i News or the Weekly News.
Every merchant should be represented.
They cannot afford not to have their ads

NOETH STATE REPUBLICANS.
Their Convention Meets With 93 Out
of 96 Counties Represented.
Raleigh. X. C., Aug. 30.—The repub
lican state convention met here at noon
to-day with 93 of the 96 counties
represented. On the first day of this
month the populist state convention met
here and nominated W. H. Worth for
state treasurer. W. T. Faircloth
lor chief justice of the supreme
court, and G. Connor, 1). M. Furches aud
-rv er Clark for associate justices,
ihe contest to-day was over the nomi
nation of an entire ticket for the purpose
of fusing the populist and republican
parties during this campaign. By a vote
154 to 30 the convention nominated
this ticket. The intention is to fuse on
every olfice and only have one candidate
for each office to be voted for. The reso
lution on silver is as follows .
THE PLATFORM.
“We favor a financial policy not in
favor of mono-metallism, either of gold or
silver, as the basis of a financial system;
but international bi-metallism, to oe
secured by strenuous efforts of
the national power to be di
rected against such foreign nations
as adhere to the single gold standard.
Under existing conditions, with inter
national agreement, we favor the free
coinage of the entire product of American
mines at the ratio of 16 to 1. Now, and in
the future, all dollars should be of equal
purchasing power, to the end that a suit
able currency, abundant for all wants,
shall secure to all the people the full re
sults of their labor.”
A. E. Holton was elected chairman of
the state committee.
THEIR BONDED BOOZE.
The Whisky Trust Will Contest the
Increase of Taxes.
Peoria, Ills., Aug. 30.—Inquiry here
confirms the report that the whisky
trust will contest the increase in tax on
spirits in bond, on the ground of illegal
ity. This has long been President Green
huts idea. The argument is advanced
that wnen the spirits were put in bond
at 90 ceDts per gallon, there was an im
plied contract that the tax would not be
increased on these goods while they were
in bond.
Considerable interest has been aroused
in distilling circles by the filing of incor
poration papers in Springfield lor the new
Atlas distillery of this city, whose build
ings are now practically completed. Tho
distillery will be the largest in the world,
and will be run outside of the trust. The
company is headed by Samuel Woollier.
The company has a capacity of 8,000
bushels of grain per day, and will be run
at such rate as the trade warrants.
SETTLED LIKE A PALL.
Tremendous Damage to Timber by
Continued Forest Fires.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 30.—Smoke from
forest fires has settled over this city
like a pall. It is impossible to see clearly
more than a block. Navigation on the
sound is dangerous, and steamers have to
feel their way, blowing whistles contin
ually to avoid collision.
Forest fires are still raging all over the
sound country, and unless rain soon sets
in the damage to standing timber will be
enormous. A dispatch to the Telegraph
from New Whatcom says that city es
caped destruction only by a fortunate
change of wind vjhich drove the elements
at a time when it was thought nothing
could save the town.
NO HOPE OF SETTLEMENT.
Giassworkers aud Manufacturers
Fail to Agree on Prices.
Pittsburg. Aug. 30. It is officially
stated that at yesterday's conference of
window glass manufacturers in Cleve
land, 0., it was decided to reject the
wage scale proposed by the representa
tives of the window glass workers and to
insist upon further reductions. Another
conference of workers and manufacturers
will be held in Pittsburg next Monday,
but from the present outlook there is
little hope for a settlement. The manu
facturers state that they will not be in
fluenced by the action of the Chambers-
McKee Company, who have already
signed the workers’ scale.

WOULDN'T RILL HERSELF.
So Her Selfish Husband Did the Job
Himself.
A Romantic Marriage That Cams to a
Tragic Ending-The Lover, and Mur
derer an English General’s Son.
From the European edition of the Herald.
Paris, Aug. 12—It was a trial of re
markable interest that was ended to-day
at Saintes, when Bernard Wittingham,
son of Gen. Wittingham. was committed
by the assize courts of murdering his
wife, the daughter of the syndic of the
pilots of Royan. Gen. Wittingham is
Mai. Gen. Paul Bernard Wittingham late
of the royal engineers, who received his
first commission in that corps seven and
fifty years ago. became colonel in 1865and
attained his present rank on the retired
list in 1871.
Bernard Wittingham is only about 25
years of age. Two or three years ago he
made the acquaintance of the woman he
murdered, Suzanne Audon, daughter of
the syndic of the pilots of Royan. The
couple were married on Nov. 1, 1893, in
London, in presence of the parents of the
bride, but in direct opposition to the
wishes of Gen. Wittingham.
From the outset the uuion was not an
untroubled one. Gen. Wittingham re
fused to accept his daughter-in-iaw as a
member of his family and, according to
the prosecution, endeavored to induce his
son to abandon Suzanne. He informed
Bernard that he should otherwise cut
him off without even the proverbial shill
ing, and it is a matter of fact that he had
notices placarded throughout Royan in
timating that he (the general) was not
responsible for any debts contracted by
his son or his son's wife. E'rom this
period Bernard Wittmgham’s sole idea
was to get rid of the matrimonial incubas
he had taken on his shoulders. He en
deavored to persuade his wife that their
marriage was null and void, and one day,
at Saintes, he tried to prevail upon her
to commit suicide, furnishing her with a
revolver with which to carry out the
idea. On another occasion, at Bordeaux,
he lit a brazier of charcoal in their room,
presumably, according to the prosecution,
with the intention of suffocating his wife.
"We had agreed to die together,” Wit
tingham declares; but the prosecution
contends that Suzanne had not even been
consulted in the matter.
THE DEATH OF SUZANNE.
At the beginning of the current year
Wittingham sent his wife to live with
her parents, he himself going to England.
He returned to Ro.van on May 18, and
drove straight to the house of the Audons.
The meeting between Wittingham and
his wife was affectionate, but soon after
the prisoner was heard to threaten his
wife with a whip, saying that ‘‘the
English police had assured him that he
might beat her. as he had full authority
over her.” Mme. Audon interfered, and
was turned out of the room. A few min
utes later, however, she saw him treating
his wife in the most loving fashion, and
felt reassured.
Not very long after Wittingham came
out of the room in which he had been
with Bis wife and cried out:
“I have wounded Suzanne. Go at once
for a doctor.”
When the doctor arrived Suzanne was
dead; she had been shot in the face, and
the bullet, after breaking the jawbone,
had factured the spinal cord.
Wittingham offered no resistance to
arrest. He stated that he had been show
ing his wile a Winchester rifle he had
brought from London, and that he must
have unguardedly touched the trigger,
which was very easy. It is argued by the
prosecution that Suzanne, who had a
great dread of firearms, would not have
been likely to wish to have the mechan
ism of a rifle explained to her. On the
one hand, the post mortem examination
showed that the shot had been fired
downward and not horizontally; while,
on the other hand, it was found that the
trigger was not a hair trigger, and re
quired considerable pressure.
In his interrogatory of the prisoner the
president described him as a spoiled,
child, capricious, wilful and sometimes a
little preverse, but he was also enter
prising and courageous, and had often
gone out with the Royan lifeboat. De
scribing the prisoner's first meeting with
his future wife, the President said that
Mile. Audon and her mother were at the
theater, and that Wittingham went up to
her and shook hands with her without
any previous introduction, quite contrary
to English customs. Some correspond
ence was exchanged between the two, and
Wittingham thus learned that Mile. Au
don was a perfectly respectable young
woman and that he must either under
take to marry her or havo no future re
lations with her. She was dazzled at the
prospect of becoming the wife of a gen
eral’s son. The general, however, refused
his consent to the marriage in the most
peremptory manner.
WISHED TO EJTfER A CONVENT.
On hearing this Suzanne Audon wrote
to the superior of a convent with a view
of becoming a nun. The lollowing is a
passage from a letter she wrote to Wit
tingham at about this period:—
“Oh. Bernard, 1 have no illusions about
it. A convent is a hell for whoever goes
there to seek anything else but God. The
sackcloth robe is hard to wear, but
I shall there weep over the love I
have lost, and I give you release from
your word.”
While the president was reading this
letter Wittingham burst into tears.
On hearing of Mile. Audon’s intention
of taking the veil, Wittingham said to
her: “Well, then, we will get married
without the consent of my father. I will
work.” This resolution induced Suzanne
to give way, and she persuaded her pa
rents to allow her to marry her head
strong lover. Some time afterward,
when poverty and uncongenial labor had
dissipated Wittingbam’s romantic illu
sions. he began to ill-treat his wife. The
president of the court thus described
some of the painful scenes which passed
between them:
CEASED TO LOVE HER.
The President—Your education has not
prepared you for a laborious life. You
were in needy circumstances and dreaded
poverty, and from that day you ceased to
love Suzanne and resolved to rid yourself
of her at whatever cost. [Sensation.)
You said to her one day: “You think
you are my wife—well, you are only my
mistress. Our marriage was a farce.”
At this your young wife cried, “That is
terrible. lam lost and dishonored. Well,
I will disappear; I will kill myself!”
You seized the opportunity at once and
replied; "You wish to kill yourself.
Well, here’s a revolver, you have only to
place it against your forehead. I am go
ing out; when 1 come back 1 shall hope
to find you dead.” [Great sensation in
court.]
The Prisoner—l was stupid enough to
say that to her in Joking with her.
The President—But the fact remains
that you went out, leaving Mme. Witting
ham with the revolver. It was a mon
strous proposition. [Slensation. ] But this
yoang woman of 18 had no reason to kill
herself. She went down stairs and began
to look for you in the streets of Salntes,
wnere you were then living. When you
saw her you seemed to be excessively an
noyed and sneered, “If your love is like
your words you do not love me much, be
cause there you are alive!” [Murmurs
of indignation in oourt.J Terriliod by
this reproach, Suzanne Audon ran to the
telegraph office and wired to her mother
at Royan, “Maman, vicus vile.”
LIVED SEPARATELY.
After this the unhappy couple resolved
to separate. Suzanne returned to her
parents, while Wittingham went to live
with his father. They were, however,
together again soon after at Bordeaux,
where Wittingham proposed that they
should commit suicide. They made ail
preparations for asphyxiation, and the
charcoal tiro was already lighted, when
Mme. Wittingham got up and opened the
window.
The Prisoner—But I wished to die.
The President—Oh. did you? But you
made a very singular remark. ‘‘l have
greater power of resistance than she
has. " You hoped to survive her.
The Prisoner—Do not believe it. On
the previous day my family had ordered
me to break off at once all relations with
my wife. I preferred to die with her
The President—Such was not the im
pression of the unhappy woman. Sne
wrote to her mother as follows: "Mv
husband is always urging me to kill my
self, but he never wishes to do so him
self.”
At a later date Bernard Wittingham
drew up the following notice, with a view
of its being published in the English
papers:
I. Bernard Wittingham warn the public
that the girl Suzanne Audon. who has passed
as my wife, is only my mistress Her father
brought her to England tome le.ause she
was enciente, but our m irriave has no legal
value either in France or England. In cou
sequence I warn the public that the girl Su
zanne Audon. ha 9 no right to call herself my
wife, and that if she does so I will prosecute
her according to law. Wittingham.
paternal guidance.
The prisoner said that his father had
guided his hand when he wrote that.
Evidence was given by Mme. Audon, w-ho
described in detail the whole and affair.
While she was speaking Wittinpton sat
with his face buried in his hands, sobbing
loudly.
Several of Mine. Wittingham s intimate
friends then gave evidence of the good
ness of her character and of the fear of
her husband in which she constantly'
lived. Some friends of the prisoner gave
evidence on his behalf. He was declared
to be remarkably courageous. But as a
child he was often cruel. He had hanged
one cat and shot another. But he had
once saved a dog from drowning.
Dr. Roux, the medical man of the Audon
family, gave evidence to the effect that
Wittingham was continually urging his
wife to commit suicide. When the doctor
met Wittingham on the promenade at
Royan a few days after this confidence
had been made to him, be said: "Young
man, if I were M. Audon. your father-in
law. you would notlivelong. I would blow
your brains out. Such creatures as you
ought to be got rid of.”
REVOLTING COOLNESS.
It was Dr. Roux, who was called in
after Mrs Wittingham had received her
death wound, and he said that in the
presence of his wife’s corpse Wirtingham
displayed such revolting coolness and in
difference that he was obliged to.turn
him out of the house.
It was a touching scene when Miss
Mary Wittingham. the young sister of
the prisoner, went to the witness box to
give evidence on her brother’s behalf.
When she had given her evidence the
poor girl went up to her brother and
they kissed one another, both of them
sobbing bitterly.
When, however, M. Delvieux, the pro
curator of the republic, began his speech
for the prosecution the effect of this pa
thetic incident on the judgment of the
jury must soon have been dis
sipated. He painted Wittingham in the
blackest colors and characterized him in
downright terms as a murderer. He
said that, the young man did not possess
that loftiness of soul necessary to accept
such a life as he had made for himself by
his marriage with the daughter of a mere
pilot. He had not the courage to forget
his origin, his riches and his fashionable
life and become a workman, since his
work had become indispensable for the
existence of his family.
MOTIVE OP THE CRIME.
The procurator of the republic, contin
uing his scathing speech, said that he was
convinced that Bernard Wittingham de
cided to murder his wife on the day that
be found she was enciente. He knew that
by divorce he could get rid of his wife,
especially as the Audon family seemed
willing to help in bringing one about, but
the prospect of a child who would be his
son and who would bear his name ren
dered the situation less simple. The child
would be an eternal fetter, and, continued
the prosecuting counsel, he resolved to
insure its disappearance by doing away
with the mother. Continuing, M.
Delvieux said that on March 13
Wittingham made a last journey
to London to find out if there was
any means of annulling the marriage.
When he found that there was cone, he
returned on March 18 with a Winchester
rifle. A few hours after his return Mrs.
Wittingham was dead. The premedita
tion was long, the crime pitiless and the
motive infamous.
Counsel for the defence supported the
hypothesis of an accident. There was a
night sitting of the court. The jury went
out* to consider their verdict at half past
ten. At 11 o’clock they returned with a
verdict declaring Bernard Wittingham
guilty of wilful murder, but admitting ex
tenuating circumstances, and the pris
oner was sentenced to twenty-five years’
penal servitude.
A COTTON PICKING MACHINE.
Its Designer is the Grandson of the
Famous Inventor of the Cotton Gin.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
New Haven, Conn., Aug. 25.—1L1i Whit
ney of this city, grandson of the famous
inventor of the cotton gin, has, in turn,
invented a machine which may revolu
tionize cotton picking. Although Eli
Whitney, Sr., made such a fundamental
change in the disposition of cotton after
being picked, no means of gathering the
product from the plant has hitherto been
discovered until now.
The Whitney harvester, as the machine
is called, resembles an ordinary grain
harvester. The mechanism is operated
by an endless cbaiu attached to one of
the rear wheels of the harvester. A se
ries of vertical cylinders, suspended from
the bottom of the wagon, with hooks and
rolls attached, gathers the cotton from
the plant and drops the pods into a bas
ket as the harvester drives over the field.
By means of this machine two men and
two horses can harvest as much cotton
as 100 workmen. Experiments already
made show that the amount of cotton
harvested is about 85 per cent, of the
amount of the field. The present Eli
■Whitney owns the factory in which his
illustrious grandfather worked, near
Lake Whitney, in this city, and perfected
his invention in the factory erected bv
Eli Whitney, Sr.
