The Norwegian bark Mizpa, Capt. Tor
gersen, from Apalachicola bound for
Sharpness with a cargo of timber, put into
this port yesterday leaking badly. The
ve.'sel will probably have to be discharged
and repaired here.
Capt. Torgersen is unable to attend to
his duties around the vessel, ns he is suf
fering with berri-berri, which he contract
ed at Bahia.
The Mizpa was here on Sept. 29, 1896,
and encountered the terrific storm which
passed over the city on that day. She
broke from her moorings at Gordon wharf
and was blown across the river. Her
main topmast was blown away and con
siderable other damage done.
The British steamship Buckingham,
from New York, which arrived beiow yes
lerdny, was detained at quarantine on ac
count of a seaman having died on board
and two others being sick with malarial
fever. Dr. LeHardy, the health officer,
went to the station yesterday, released the
steamship and allowed her to come to the
, v, The sick men were sent to the hos
pital. The Buckingham made a recent
trip to Tampico, where, it is thought, the
seamen contracted the disease.
The schooner Hilda, Capt. Rhines, from
Baltimore, arrived yesterday morning
with a cargo of coal consigned to D. K.
Thomas & Son. The Hilda made a re
markably quick trip, being only sixty-two
hours from Cape Henry to Tybee bar.
Incoming vessels reported a heavy
northeast gale blowing off Tybee Satur
day night and yesterday morning.
The German bark Jacobin was success
fully hauled out on YVillink’s marine rail
way yesterday. The copper will be strip
ed in order to find the location of the leak,
and her bottom will be recalked.
The Spanish steamship Martin Saenz has
contracted here for BUO tons of bunker
coal. The coal will be furnished by the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Com
pany, reaching Savannah via the Central
of Georgia railway.
The schooner Robert S. Graham, Capt.
Yannaman, finished loading Saturday
night with a cargo of lumber. She would
have sailed yesterday, but was prevented
by the prevailing northeast gale.
Capt. Ozamez of the Spanish steamship
Martin Saenz entertained a number of his
iriends at dinner yesterday.
The United States torpedo boats will put
on cast iron propellers when they reach
New Orleans, and will go up the Missis
sippi river. The composition metal wheels
being expensive, it is feared that they will
be injured by the floating logs in the river.
The hark Henry A. Litchfield, which
was ashore at Cape Henry some‘time ago,
was towed from Norfolk to Newport News
Friday to be converted into a barge. She
was recently purchased by Hudson &
Bros, of Norfolk.
The crew of the Commercial Cable Com
pany’s steamship Maekay-Bennett, under
the direction of the officers, performed
the notable feat of practically completing
the cable between Coney Island and Sandy
Hook Friday in a rain storm and heavy
sea. The finking of those two points for
the dissemination of marine news is the
mos’ important part of the system which
tno Postal Telegraph-Cable Company will
establish for the port of Greater New
Y'ork.
The three-masted schooner Blanche
Hopkins of Philadelphia, Capt. J. F.
Gantt, arrived at Norfolk Friday. Thir
teen days ago the Blanche Hopkins start
ed with 850 tons of salt from Fortune
Island, YVest Indies. She soon ran upon a
rock, and remained twenty-four hours, till
enough of her cargo was jettisoned to al
low her to float off.
Then she had three days of fair w r inds,
in which she made excellent progress.
Then came fierce storms for four days,
during which the deck was almost con
stantly swept by the waves, and no prog
ress was made. Fortunately, however,
i ine of the crew were lost and the vessel
w as not seriously damaged. The main gaff
is broken and the sails are split.
Feathering wheels have been placed on
but few of the Hudson fiver boats, and
their permanent adoption has been slow.
Steamboat owners have been content with
the world’s records for speed which their
i outiful craft have made with the old ra
dial wheel, and It has only been during
recent years that any of the river boats
have been equipped with them. The New
Y’ork was the first boat to adopt them,
and aftertvard the Albany's radial wheels
were taken off and smaller sized wheels,
of the feathering pattern, were substitut
ed, and to advantage. The Adirondack,
new last year, has them, and the Sauger
ties, which began running on the river
ii bout ten years ago, is equipped with pad
dlewheels of the feathering type. The
S.iugerties had been the Shenandoah, built
in 1882, to run on the North Carolina
omuls, and had them from the start.
Their introduction into this country dates
back to the famous old Richard Stockton,
built in 1852 by Harlan & Hollingsworth.
After that there were pone (except those
that came along with the captured Eng
lish-built blockade runners during the
civil war) until the steamboat City of
‘•veland, constructed in 1889 by the De
troit Dry Dock Company, for Lake Erie
• rvice, was built with them, and imme
il. itelv established a record that surprised
■ , cry body connected with her. The little
uamboat Indian River, built in 1883 for
.1 . oh Lorillnrd, had feathering wheels.
Now all the better class of new steam
h ats have them. They give better satis
i option all around, making less jar and al
lowing the engine to turn up better.
Port Eads, Nov. 28.~Capt. Higgins of
on steamer El Sud, which arrived to-day
from New York, reports that on Nov. 27,
<;: 10:45 a. m., 15 miles from Port Eads, he

Weekly Market Review.
Last week’s cotton market was a repeti
tion of that of the preceding week. There
were no developments of Importance, and
fluctuations were confined to a very lim
ited range. At the same time the feeling
was mostly a trifle firmer, and prices
made a net gain of some 5 points, Janua
ry closing at 5.73 e, and May, 5.92 e. The re
ceipts have been very heavy, although the
weekly movement at some interior towns
shows a marked falling off, which latter
circumstance probably had something to
do with the slight stiffness in the market
at the close. The total receipts from plan
tations, however, were over 50,000 bales in
excess of the corresponding week in 1894.
But the cotton is going out as fast ns it
comes in, and latterly offerings from the
country have been less free. Confiding on
a continuance of the heavy movement,
the bearish part of the trade would seem
as sure of lower prices as ever, but the
more conservative element appears to
have concluded that cotton Is low enough.
Already there is talk of a reduction in the
acreage next spring, and systematic ac
tion to that end is being considered. To a
patient and reasonably competent holder
cotton offers now about as promising a
field for prudent investment as occurs
not more than once or twice in a decade.
The wheat market exhibited more anima
tion. After an early decline of a cent,
prices slowly rose about 2 cents by Wed
nesday, Thursday being a holiday. On
Friday there was considerable excitement
In the December option, which rose rap
idly to Jl-00, May at the same time reach
ing 93Yi>c. On Saturday the market was
weak, owing to sales to realize, and De
cember closed at 97%c; May, 91%c, an ad
vance of about 2Y4c and l%c respectively.
Foreign advices have given fair support.
The position is almost as much of an
enigma as before, except that aggressive
bullish manipulation has become more ap
parent. The clique running the operation
is said to be prepared to take all the wheat
that can -be delivered to them, and a sen
sational speculation is not at all unlikely.

LONDON'S STOCK MARKET.
English Railways Lower and Ameri
can* Not Strong.
London, Nov. 28.—Money rates have stif
fened, as the Bank of England, pursuing
the policy qf borrowing on stock, has ab
sorbed more than the outside supplies,
thereby maintaining the present rates,
which are not likely to decline before the
end of the year. The stock exchange was
steady except in home railway securities,
which suffered an all round decline on the
belief that the directors, in view of the
labor troubles, lwill retain larger balances
Instead of devoting them to dividends.
American railway stocks fluctuated, al
though the market was hopeful. Dealings
are small, operators awaiting the Presi
dent’s message to congress. Quotations
were generally' lower with the exception
of Northern Pacific preferred shares, which
rose three points. The stocks which de
clined include Central Pacific, which fell
two points. Union Pacific, 1 per cent.,
Atchison Adjustment 4s, Erie firsts, and
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, 1 each
and Wabash incomes Grand Trunk
shares were strong with an average rise of
1% points, but Canadian and Pacific shares
fell % of a point. Argentine Lines were
buoyant on the strength of traffic returns.
MANCHESTER MARIvET.
Eastern Loom* Generally Fairly En
gaged For Two Month*.
Manchester, Nov. 28.—The public reports
for the last week were quieter, but proba
bly business was really larger than be
fore. Large eastern cloth orders, both
for yarns and goods, were placed, and some
lines of shirtings, at very low prices.
China and India now promise well, the
food crop prospects of the latter being ex
cellent. The position of the manufactur
ers is very uneven, out the eastern looms
are generally fairly engaged for two
months. Yarns, in moderate supply, are
holding their ground fairly, but the pros
pect of avoiding a strike Is now more un
certain. Advices froth Rouen show a bet
ter demand there, though at rather lower
prices than for the week ending with Nov.
20. The German and Austrian markets
are depressed, the stocks of yarns and
goods being large.
BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook a* Seen From
Wall Street.
New York, Nov. 27—The market for se
curities retains the same general features
as we have had to note for recent weeks;
except that the volume of transactions has
fallen still lower. Outside speculative op
erations have become almost insignificant,
and transactions are mainly confined to
operations for fractional profits by room
traders.
Approaching conditions may supply that
want. The settlements and interest dis
bursements made at the end of the year
distribute a large amount of funds, which
usually contribute to a January rise in
prices. The last six months of business
revival, especially in the interior cities, is
likely to result in liberal distributions of
earnings; and that money may be expect
ed to find its way, more or less, into YVall
street. That, however, will depend, in
some measure, upon what may be the pre
vailing feeling at the opening of the year.
That ought to be good. All reports agree
In representing that, In the agricultural
sections, the results of the last half year’s
business have been unusually satisfactory.
Moreover, a still better state
of trade Is expected for the next season.
The improved state of our manufactures
is showing itself in a steady Increase in
wages and the general full operation of
the factories. In short, a prosperous
spring trade is taken as a foregone con
clusion. How the action of congress may
affect these prospects remains to be seen.
It seems safe to take It for granted that
we have little to fear from Jingoism. Also,
there seems reason to hope that, when con
gressmen feel the public pulse as It beats
at YY'ashington, they will come to the con
clusion that the currency question cannot
he so easily shelved as some of them have
hoped; and any disposition to do something
real and effective toward giving us per
manently sound money would prove a very
positive help to confidence among the bus
iness and investing classes, and would fa
vorably affect the status of our securities
in the foreign markets. Perhaps the most
I sensitive legislation will Drove to be con

nected with the railroad questions that
will come up for treatment. .
Pooling and (he powers of the Interstate
commission will no doubt awaken the still
slumbering granger sent ment, but from
present symptoms, it wit be f n and that
the commercial opinion of the conn y
largely come round in favor of BOl,l
ment of these questions that will
roads a fair chance for making reasonable
profits and exempt them from undue ex
traneous official interference, lhe great
interests whom the railroads serve are
so weary of lhe unsettled condition of the
carrying trade that they will be likely to
support anv fair and equitable proposals
the companies may present, and to oppose
anything that savors of factional Bryan
ite' hostility to the transportation interest.
To perm.lhenit investors, the market pre
sents probably about as low a range of
prices as we are likely to see for some
time. For such to defer purchases, would 1
be to face a probability that, at a later
stage, higher prices will have to be paid.
Speculative purchases, if made on drops,
afford a fair chance for moderate gains
on the principle of small profits and quick
returns. Such operations are better suit
ed to the present position of the market
than large purchases and long holdings.
A BRIGHT YEAR PROMISED.
St. Filin’* Congregation Hefn*ol 1o
Accept the Veitry'a Heslguntton.
The members of St. Paul’s Episcopal
church are showing a more enthusiastic
interest in their parish than has been man
ifested in some time before. At a recent
meeting, the congregation refused to ac
cept the resignatiqn of all the members
of the vestry who resigned in a body.
The members of the vestry tendered their
resignations on account of non-support in
their work. Where the fault was, It was
not stated, but the vestry considered that
its full duty had been done, ns a waning
interest was noticed, its members decided
to resign in a body and give the congrega
tion an oi*>ortunity to elect, anew vestry
entirely.
The congregation, hojypver, refused to
accept the resignations, and re-elected
the same vestry by a unanimous vote.
Not only was that action taken, but the
members of the congregation decided
unanimously that they would do all in
their power to support the vestry, and
much enthusiasm was manifested. At
that meeting tis much money was pledged
for the current year as was given during
the whole of last year, and many other
subscriptions have been given since the
meeting. Othexs have joined th. parish
recently, and have voluntarily given as
sistance to the church in its work. Thus
encouraged, the vestry feels more enthu
siastic than ever in Its work, and consid
ers the prospects give promise of the
brightest year In the church’s history.
The choir of boys Is supplying excel
lent music, and the boys have lent their
aid, too, to the work, and are giving
their services free of charge. At tho
morning and evening services yesterday
there were large and enthusiastic congre
gations, and Rev. J. L. Scully, the rec
tor, Is greatly encouraged by the bright
prospect that appears before the parish.

Burial of Hon. Walter Owynn—New
Rifle of the Militia.
Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 28.—The remains,
of Hon. Walter Gwynn, who died in the
everglades last Wednesday night, were
brought here for interment on Saturday.
Mr. Gwynn was born in Logan county,
Kentucky, in 1828, and come to Florida in
1852. Shortly after his arrival at the cap
ital, he was appointed chief clerk in the
state land office, by the late Gov. David S.
Walker. He was state controller for the
term immediately preceding the civil war,
and was state treasurer during Gov.
Drew's term, the first democratic admin
istration after the war, from 1877 to 1881.
Mr. Gwynn held a number of other posi
tions of honor and trust, filling all with
credit to himself and honor to the public
service.
Burglars entered the residence of F. X.
Hurt last night, searched drawers, trunks,
etc., but secured only $27, taken from C.
C. Pillsbury.
The adaptation of the manual of arms
for the United States magazine rifle, cali
ber 30. to the Springfield rifle, caliber 45,

hereafter to be used by the Florida st-ato
troops. Any other manual of arms Is
strictly forbidden for the infantry.

more than half a million households—at an

sue of the Companion gives as much read
ing matter as a 12mo book of 175 pages,

uary, 1899. A handsome illustrated pros
pectus of the volume for 1898 will be sent
to any one addressing the Youth's Com

A PLEA FOR THE PRIESTHOOD.
REV. ROHR WHITE’S CHARGE TO
ST. ANDREW'S BROTHERHOOD.
The Need For Young Mon to Enter
the Ministry—Snvnnnnli Him Not
Given Any In Yearn—The Hensons
Why no Few \oll n k Men Respond
to the Church's Call.
Services incident to St. Andrew's day
were conducted at St. Paul's church last
night. The services at Christ church were
dispensed with that the congregation
might attend St. Paul's, where the an
nual chargo to the Brotherhod of St.
Andrew was delivered by Rev. ltohb
White.
There are about 1,300 chapters of the
Brotherhood in America. The Episcopal
churches of Savannah all have chapters,
with the exception of St. John's, which
surrendered the charter of its chapter
some time ago.
The two principal pledges taken explain
the objects of the Brotherhood. The first
Is that the members will pray dally for
the spread of the church and the gospel
among men, and, second, that he will
make earnest effort each week to get at
least one man in the hearing
of the gospel. The Brotherhood
bears a very close relation to the church
work and clearly sets forth the dutiis of
laymen. While the Brotherhood is not
especially for prospective minsters, yet
the members frequently become absorbed
In the work and desire to carry it to this
extent.
The charge delivered by Rev. Mr. While
was on the subject of young men entering
the field as ministers and their willingness
to make the necessary sacrifices. The
text was taken from Isaiah: “Here am I,
send me.”
Rev. Mr. White said there is a deplor
able lack of young men in Georgia enter
ing the ministry in the diocese, about one
fifth of the church membership Is in Sa
vannah, but none have answered to the
call of the minstry. God cries for those
who will perform the work, he said, but in
eight years, there have been absolutely no
responses from Savannah.
■‘Suppose I should insert an “ad” In the
papers, calling for young men at a low
salary. The response would be so great
that my door would be crowded.
Ask yourselves the reason for this lack of
spirit aid willingness. It cannot be that
the lack is from a sense of unworthiness.
If so. then look at Moses and Isaiah, who
felt they were most unworthy, and yet
who later accomplished so much. Moses
•and Isaiah didn’t stop, but went direct to
the altar, which consecrated them to the
work. Their fitness then came from God—
not man.
If men are willing to do the work, God
will give the power. It's true the standard
is high and it should be. Of all our young
men, not one says: ‘Here am I. send me;
consecrate me.’’
These facts, while they are painful, were
not given, Mr. White said, in a spirit of
criticism, but more to arouse young men
to the needs of the hour. The greatest pride
of the Jewish mother, said the speaker, is
the going into the temple and dedicating
the life of her son to the ministry.
“Have any of the mothers here ever done
that? When you gave your boy up to bap
tism to fight the sins of
the world, have you endeavored to let him
know what it means? Let everyone im
press upon their children the importance
of Christian duties."
Reference was again made to the scarci
ty of those responding to the call, and the
preacher made an earnest plea for the
brotherhood to harken. Many do not en
ter the ministry, he said, because they do
not wish to assume the work and make
sacrifices. The success of Moses and
Isaiah was the result of sacrifice and obe
dience lo the call. The charge was ef
fectively concluded by an earnest plea for
the brotherhood to respond to the call,
that the church and its work might be
strengthened.
OPEN THE CHURCH DOORS.
Mr. V. J. Bennehn nip's Yppenl in Be.
halt of Young Men.
The lecture at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday
afternoon by Mr. Lou J. Beauchamp was
to men and the lecturer discussed the
universal question, that of eternal life and
th© way to attain It. It has been a long
time since the afternoon meetings were so
largely attended, and especially those
which are Intended for young men alone
The main thought put by the speaker
was the manner of treating depraved
young men, in order io get them into the
churches. By the rules of politeness, he
said, no man will enter the house of an
other without an Invitation. The same ex
tends to the fallen men of earth, who
cannot be expected to visit the churches
until an invitation is sent. An incident in
this connection was related in the personal
experience of the speaker, when he was
asked to leave a church where he hill
gone for spiritual advice. The argument
of the lecture was that the doors of the
churches should be opened to the outcast
and a cordial invitation extended to en
ter.
To-morrow night closes Mr. Beau
champ’s engagement in Savannah. He
will lecture this evening at Guards' hall
and conclude to-morrow evening with his
lecture on the "Sunny Side of Life,"
which is said to give the audience 100
laughs in 100 minutes.

THE RIGHT KIM) OF FRIERDS.
Rev. J. D. Jordan’s Topic at tlie First
Baptist Church,
The kind of friends which should be cul
tivated by young men was the topic dis
cussed at the First Baptist church last
night by the pastor, Rev. John D. Jor
dan. Friendship In all its phases was pre
sented, the good and bad being arrayed.
The sermon was interesting and concluded
with the argument that the Bible was the
best friend and the safest adviser man
could take into his confidence.
—“Thes.-aly ?” repeated the sultan, with
scorn. “The idea! What nerve! Why, I
never cede the likes!”
The Court Grammarian shuddered si
lently.
“Perhaps," suggested the imperial Jest
er, who was always particular to have
his Jokes a shade ranker than those of
his royal master, “they think your muj
