Been Appointed.
Mr. Comer to Appear as a Witness in

■Savannah, April 23.-(Speeial.)-Judge
Pardee's decision dischargin'-' Mr. to
mer as receiver of the Port. Ib>.val a*ui
Augusta railroad arrived in the city
into last u'glit. The d.s-ision is a
lengthy-one, setting forth the data is of
the ease before stating any opinion, aud
orders the rqpd turned over to the Pori
Royal and Augusta Railroad Company,
but says nothing of tbp appointment of
Mr. Averill as receiver.
The opinion of Judge Pardee states
that the question of jttrisdieti"H of the
' State Circuit Court of Kichmond County
in the appointment of Mr. Aver il as re
ceiver did not require his consul rat: n,
the court being judge of its own juris
diction. and il is assumed lor the pur
pose of tit s application that Judge Ro
ney's court is fully seized of ad juris
diction it has exercised. He states tna.
the United States court, is onej.l limited
jurisdiction, a.id it was not nwcssaiy
to inquire whether Petitioner Averill
P BSUeI the proper coarse in suggesting
tli> want of jurisdiction in .be circuit
court, but. said the court necessarily uo-
Jt.be fact.
a claim of Mr. Averill, lie says, is
right of the p-ri Royal to eon
xW’rord as against the right of the
the Rowena < mH, and
that tlie Central has no rig!'.. to it- pos
session and control save through legiti
mate intiueuee as majority s.oclt.iold ,'s.
Further, that the court lias r.o more right

CHICAGO’S HEALTH.
It was Never Better and the Water Supply
is ExeeHent.
Chicago, April 23.—The annual re
port of Health Commissioner Ware was
published yesterday and declares the
general health of the city of Chicago
has never been so good as at the present
time. The water supply, he declares,
is better than at any previous time of
the city’s existence. Since January,
1890, to the present time, there has
been a steady decrease in the annual
death rate, and the rate is now lower
than at any city in this country or in
Europe which has over 500.000 inhabi
tants. In 1891 the death rate per 1,000
was 22.20: for the mun’eipal year just
closed the death rate, from all causes
has been 18.23 and from natural causes
has been 17.04 per 1,000.

HULLED HER IN A BAK' EL.
Brhlg.'port Factory Girls Make Miss Luther
a Butt.
Xew York, April 22. Mi-s Mamie
Rather, the pretty 17-year old daughter
of Chris.epher Luther, a tea dealer of
Bridgeport, lias been in lied since Mon
day . . .eraoou lust as the result of ll
; praetieul juke played on her by two
win, i wl i work with her in the i
. of tli<> in on M tallie Carl ridge
Company in that town. Miss Luther |
had only worked in the factory a short 1
lime. She was tired of being around 1
I home and, beside, wanted more mon y |
| for herself, than her parents could afford
Ito allow her. So her father agreed to
- let her go into the factory. Superin-
I tendent Jerome Orcutt of the cartridge
I works took an iutere-t in the girl mid
set her at work in the shot, shell depart
ment.
Miss Luther has always been nervous
ami excitable. When the young woman
1 entered the factory she held herself al off
from the other girls, ami the others re
solved to "take her down." They an
1 noyed her in a dozen ways and she told
, her mother that the girls tormented her
iso that she could not work. They would
often stand around and laugh at her.
;advice of a physician the girl agreed
io take a vacation. The girls guyed
Miss Luther unnu (ifully when they
heard of her iuteiuion.
Tile shot shell department is a long 1
room which extends the entire length
of the factory. As the shot shells are :
made aud Idled they are packed iti big
barrels. It Was evident from their ac-'
; lions when thy noon whistle was heard
ou Monday last that the girls had some
scheme on £■■ it. They took particular
pains to shove their stools far under the
tables and to clear out the long aisle.
1’1";; they gnihered around Miss Luther,
' who bad opened her lunch basket.
"t>b, isn't she uppish’.'” said one.
“She won’t associate with us,” sneered
. another.
We ain’t good enough for her,” said a
, third.
"Go away and let me alone," begged
Miss Luther.
l!ie girls only laughed and one
li ’i tcd. "Let's fix h !• now.” "H im;
.i.e barrel over." ciie i out another, ami
i o girls began to wheel one id the
i"-avy cartridge barrels over.
“Uli. what are you going to do?" cried
i the girl.
“We’ll show you,” shouted the others,
: id U-S th.' girl started to run, Bridget
Hurns, 20 years old, ->i Guil d and Arc
■ l»«- str.i'i; and Noraii Gilbert, 21 y sirs
oi l. of Gik! Seaview av< mie, prang fo’r-
■ ward and grabbed her. Miss Luther
was too frightened to make resistance,
::nd the tuo girls lifted her from the
i'.mir and dumped In r, I’eet first, into the
’ barrel. Iler le ad aud shoulders project
ed. Her tormentors pushed her down
into the in..ri! until slia was almost
-a i Lie.l up. 'iheii they got a heavy
iisll sieve. -Ill'll us is used to sift sliol.
■ and fitting it around the head of the
barrel, hammered it: down tight.
’ The girls roared with laughter. Every
time an appeal came from the barrel
• the others would answer it by sonic
•aui’iing in.'irk. "Oh, yes, we'll let
you out.” said Miss Bu-.'.is mid Miss Gil
:..-r: t'.'giilier. and then they dumped the
i b. rr.i over and began to roll it down
tiie long n:-le. Not a -oimd came from
tlie imprisoned girl, despit.' the bump
against posts mid Ide I"'.-'. Tiling of
. their nnmsem<':.'i. the two girls gave the
■ bairel a parting kick, sending il v.iili a

’".New get ■ nt yourseif, M ; I'p; i-h.”

ed and one of them looked in.
"She's dead." exclnimed th" girl. "Iler
■ face is black" The two girls v.im had
i pl.: cd M ss Luther in the barrel turned
' pule. Init said nothing. Several others
pulled Miss Luther out. The girl was

with brui.-es and she iircely breath" !.
Several men were st mptoned and they
gave her whiskey : d bathed In i' lead
in odd waler, b: : it. v .is useless. Finally
a carriage was sent for and the girl re
moved tJ the home of her parent-. Dr.
F. C. Graves of 309 State street was
: quickly suumii’i’L'd and after an hour's
work restored her to consciousness.
Scarcely bad she opened her eyes and

EDWIN BOOTH
PASSING AWAY.
The Doctors No Longer Make En
couraging Statements.
A Consultation Was Held Late
Last Night.
It Was Thought that the End Will Come
in 43 Hours.
New York, April 23.—There seems to
be little doubt that Edwin Booth is in
a very serious condition, in spite »t the
reassuring .statements of physieimis. Dr.
Smith said after his 5 o’clock call today
that .Booth was better than he had been i
»t anytime since his present, attack.
Booth is «d.ill unable to talk. He recog- j
nizes those about, him, however, and
sleeps most of the time. ll'.s daughter,
Mrs. Grossman, was with him today.
At ihidnight Mr. Booth was reported
fit the same condition as in which Dr. ;
Sinclair Smith found him early in the
evening when he made his final visit ,
to his patient. Although his medical at- i
tendant pronounces Mr. Boelli some- i
what improved, at the Player's Club it. ;
is thought that bis recovery is doubtful.
At l:3i> o'clock tonight. Dr. Ferdinand
Smith and D,'. William Starr were
called in and held a consultation on Mr.
Booth's condition. The result of their
conference was that the tragedian’s re- .
eovery.was scarcely to be Hoped for
and they were of the opinion that the
end would probably come within forty
eight hours,

San Francisco. April 23.—The barken
tim> Irmgard arrived from Honolulu to- :
night, bringing advices up to April 12.
The leading events since the last letter I
to the press was the supposed wholei*ale :
attempt to poison the soldiers and mem
bers of their national guard. In nil
about sixty men, thirty at the buri i -ks
and thirty in company "A" of the 'na
lional guards were r< ei red unlit for
duty but most of them soon recovered,
and none are likely to suffer permanent- j
ly. Much mystery surrounds the affair
and it. has caused a great sensation. The

the existence of a plot: to destroy the
government forces in this murderous

The ' ." of oxci: mont emised by
the retui'ii of I'.nil Neumann and
Prince David, envoys of Liloiukaiani
to Washington, has pawned away and
has left, nothing apparent as .a substan

iu as many days the report has been
cireiiltiti'd that the day and hour had

that eventful 17th of January. The
queen's party do not appear tnoro hope
ful with the continued delay but still
i insist that the only thing which the
I nited States can do is ro rcstoro the

: President said i'might:
i "The inclination on the part of the
■ Itublic to accept now-paper reports con
cerning tiie intentions of those charged
with the tnnnagi tnr nt of our national
finances seem t J.. :. fy my emphatic
contradiction of the datern nt that the
i redemption of any kind of treasury notes
1 except in gold has at any time been de
| lerrainfd upon or contemplated by the
! secretary of the treasuy or any other
’ member of .he present administration.
The President and iiis cabinet are ab
solutely harmonious in the determina
tion to exercise every power conferred
upon them to maintain the public credit,
to keep the public faith and to preserve
the parity between gold and silver and
between all financial obligations of th"
government. While tho law of 1890,
forcing the purchase of a fixed amount
of liver every month, provides that the
secretary of the treasury in his discre
tion, may redeem in either gold or silver
the treasury notes given in payment of
silver purchases, yet: the declaration of
the policy of the governmt tU to main
tain the parity between tiie two metals
seems so clearly to regulate this dis
cretion as to dictate their redemption in
gold. Os course perplexitics aud dillicul
ties have grown out of an unfortunate
financial policy which we found in vogue
and embarrassments have arisen from ill
advised financial legislation confronting
us at every turn, but with cheerful con
fidence among the people and a patriotic
disposition to eo-ot'crate the threatened
dangers will be averted pending a legis
lative return to a Jietter and sounder
I financial plan. The strong credit of the
t country is still unimpaired and the good
, sense of oar people which has u ver
