SIX YEARS’ EXTENSION.
Stillwell, XiHen & Co’s. Creditors Meet
in Savannah.
A meeting of the Savannah creditors
of Stillwell, Miileri & Co., says The
Morning News, was held yesterday, at
which the representatives of the banks
and other creditors of the firm here were
present. While no statement was given
out, it it is understood that steps were
taken looking to an extension of six
years with the proviso that the interest
be paid and the principal be paid by in
stallments.
The firm’s liabilities are estimated to
be in the neighborhood of $500,000, with
estimated assets of something over a
million.
Mr, Stillwell was seen, but had no
statement to make. He and Mr. Milieu,
who is theJNew York member of the-
firrn, and who was present at the meet
ing, left last night for New York to
comer with the creditors there. Wheth
er or not an extension will be granted,
will, of course, depend upon the decision
of the New York creditors.

Occasionally Brad Watson & Co.‘ has
a local in the Herald stating their facili
ties for recovering old umbrellas. Some
days ago, a gentleman from the other
side ot the Okeefenokee swamp stepped
into their store, hesitated a moment, and
said: “Say, Misters, I want you to re-
cuver my umbrella.” “All right,” re
plied Mr. Watson, “where is it?” The
Okeefenokeeian’s face took on a look of
astonishment, as he drawled out:
I knew that I’d recuver her myself.”
The Reward Being Increased.
The National Order of Railway Con
ductors, of which the late Conductor J.
F. Nelson was a member, has announced
the offer of a reward of $250 for the ar
rest of his murderer. This increases the
reward to $500. It is said the Plant
Svstein will also offer $250.
A Race of Steam Carriages.
An account of a novel race of steam or
petroleum road carriages, which took
place very lately between Paris and
Rouen, appears in the New York Her
ald. The purpose of the competition
was not only a test of speed, but of com
fort, general utility and facility ot man
agement.
The horseless vehicles appear to have
been of every conceivable make, some of
them, however, being handsome enough
to elicit the applause of the spectators.
The distance made was about 90 miles
ahd the time occupied in the journey 94
hours by the winner, Compe de Dion.
The greatest speed attaine^by the count
was a little over 17 miles an hour. A
newspaper corresponded who started on
the bicycle an hour ahead of the winner
was passed on the road by the count’s
carriage, which “charged hills like an
express train.”

Fall Biter, Mass., Aug. 22.—The
carders’ and spinners’ executive com
mittee have held a meeting, and there
is every indication of a strike on the
part of the unions represented, unless a
change is made in their intentions be
fore Wednesday morning. At the card
ers’ meeting it was reported that tpe
Kerr Thread mills had offered a compro
mise on wages, in defiance of the pro
posed understanding operatives had with
mill authorities a few days ago.
In the case of the Globe Yarn and
Sanford Spinning companies, it re
ported that they had violated the agree
ment made with their spinners and
carders, and that notices had Vbeen
posted ordering a cut down to go into
effect Aug. 2^ at Granite mills number
three. It was said that the pieeers had
left work because they were not to be
paid more than $5.85 per week.
If the mill authorities can settle the
grievances with the pieeers the spin
ners say they will resume work at any
time.
The Shove mill spinners are idle on
account of trouble with the backboys.
The committee authorized them to re
main out until competent help was sup
plied.
The condition at Hargrave’s mill, No.
2, is practically the same as at the Gran
ite mills. The Sandford Spinning com
pany’s men have been notified that their
wages would be reduced from $12.28 per
week to $11.50—or about 6 percent.
This action has made the spinners offi
cers very angry. *
Spinners say they were working in
the fine yarn mills with the understand
ing that they were to be paid according
to the New Bedford price list, which
was to be the same as that paid hist
week.
Now they are under the impression
that they are paid under the list as re
vised by the New Bedford spinners.
special general meeting will be called
next Monday night, and the acting sec
retary states that there is every reason
to believe that the vote of last Friday
night will be reconsidered and that war
will be waged upon every mill where
spinners are employed. The Globe
i am mills control 1,000 or more custo-
It was supposed that when Sanford-
signed his name to the agreement he
was willing to take his chances with the
cloth mills and was speaking for Kerr
and all other fine yam manufacturers.
Five more mills have shut down on
account of the strike and there is a de
crease of fully 1,500 looms in the mills
yet running.

roads and It Is Lively.
St. Louis, Adg. 22.—Advices from
Texas &ho\P that a redhot rate war has
resulted in hauling passengers from
Waco and Houston to this city for 95
cents and $1.00. At Waco, round trip

Texas to Washington are spld for $25.00,
on account of the national encampment
of the Knights of Pythias.
Scalpera allow those desiring it, a re
bate at St. -Louis of 24. . At Houston,
the rate for the round trip to St. Louis
is $15, but scalpers are having agents
extend lay over time at St. Louis on
Washington tickets. Scalpers can thus
6end a man to St. Louis and back for $1.
A Convict Killed by Lightning.
Atlanta, Aug. 22.—Principal Keeper
Jones, of the penitentiary, received no
tice of the killing of Levi HaU at Smith
camp, at Rocky Ford, last Friday. Hall
was sent up for- larceny from Telfair
county for three years. The building
in which the convicts were quartered
was struck bv lightning. Besides the
killing of Hall several others were badly
sluteked, including one of the guards
on duty, who was knocked senseless.

Louisville, Aug. 22.—Nelson Rob

doubtful if a theater can be secured.
Manager Bonrlier, of the Temple thea

to pay for Miss Pollard as an attraction,
ana what days were open. He wrote

of an attraction.
