RECORD BREAKING MORTGAGE.
One for *73,000.000, Securing Rond
lue of the Seaboard.
The mortgage from the Seaboard Air
| Line Railway Company to the Comineti
; tal Trust Company of Baltimore, covering
, the various lines of railroads consolidated
Into the great system and securing an is
sue of $75,000,000 of fifty years. 4 per cent.,
gold bonds, was filed for record in. the of
fice of the clerk of the Superior Court yes
terday.
The several lines merged into the Sea
board. including the Georgia ard Ala
bama and the Florida Central and Penin
sular, with their shops, rolling stock, rails,
rights of way and other property, are cov
ered by the mortgage.
The mortgage haw been filed in one or
more of the five states through which the
Seaboard's lines run already and must be
filed and recorded in all of them. It is
to secure the issue of bonds contemplated
in the organization of the system and ap
proved at the meeting of the board of di
rectors, held in New York on June 30.
The mortgage is probably the largest
ever filed in Savannah. To pay the tax
to the government revenue stamps to the
amount of $19,217 were affixed to the doc
ument.
The mortgagee, the Continental Trust
Company, of Baltimore, is to act as trus
tee for the holders of the bonds which the
mortgage secures. Elaborate safeguards
are thrown around the bondholders, whose
best protection, however, la the magnifi
cent railroad properties which are cover
ed by the mortgage.
The mortgage was filed for record here
by Messrs. Mackall & Anderson, counsel
for the Seaboard Air Line. It is probable
that after the recordation of the docu
ment has been completed it will be for
warded to Jacksonville, the system’s prin
cipal place of business and the point where
its principal office* are located In the
state of Florida.
The mortgage is a first mortgage upon
the property of the Seaboard System and
the bondholders is secures, therefore, will
have the first chance at the profits.
STEVENSON IS A WINNER,
Col. Cams Relieves He Will Add
Strength to the Ticket.
Col. George T. Cann, Savannah’s dele
gate to the National Democratic Con
vention at Kaneas City, reached the city
>esterday morning. When seen by a
Morning News reporter, he said he had
enjoyed the convention, and been inter
ested by every feature of it.
Col. Cann wa enthusiastic over the
convention’s action in making Steveneon
Bryan’s running mate. As Tammany
could give no assurance that New York
could be won with any ticket, as It was
doubtful that the nomination of a favor
son would carry Maryland, and ns
Hill positively refused to accept the nom
ination, it was, he thinks, the part of
vsisdom to plant the standard of the party
in the Middle W’eet, and to choose a vice
presidential candidate, who could bring
strengih from that section.
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago, told
Col. Cann he believed Illinois could be
won for Democracy with Stevenson on
the ticket. It was Georgia that first
seconded the nomination of 6tevenson,
and started the stampede that ended in
his choice by the convention. The sec
onding speech for the Georgia delegation
was made by Delegate Tom Hutehereon
of Cherokee, whose massive frame and
figure made him seen, and whose pene
:rating voice made him heard In every
nook and corner of the convention hall.
Two things Col. Cann brought back with
him from the corwemion, first, a deep ad
miration for Hill, and the course he pur
sued. and, second, an abiding disgust for
rhe tactics of Tammany. *We were con
vinced.” he said, “that Tammany was
quire willing to sell the state and the na
lon for the city of New York, end be
lieved that the deal had already been con
summated. The manner in which Sen
ator Hill was treated by the Tammany
• >legate*i aroused the sympathy of every
member of the convention, and of every
: almost in the vast audiences, and
much of the enthusiasm that greeted him
was due to this fact.”
r °l. Cann thinks the party, with the
ticket and the platform chosen at Kan-
City, has a goed chande to win In
the elections in November. The crucial
point will b* in the Middle West, and the
votes of that section in the electoral col
lege will decide the contest.
DISAPPOINTED KNDEA VODERS,

failed to secure steamer accommodations,
and have returned home.

CHATHAM’S LOTS SOLD WELL
JIKOIGHT ALL THE WAY FROM
*273 TO *4OO A LOT.
The Vroperty Between Price Street
and P*ant Avenne—The Majority
of Lots Bought by Intended Home
Builders and the Rest for Specula
tion—Auol ioneer Dorset!’* Win
ning Ways Wrked Wonder* With
the Crowd—The Saie Proved an
Eye Opener.
The auction sale of lots by the Chat
ham Real Estate and Improvement Com
pany yesterday afternoon, was an eye
opener in lot sales. The property sold is
on St. Michael. St. John. St. Paul and
Si. Nicholas streets, just south of An
derson street, and to the east of Price
street.
A small crowd greeted Auctioneer Dor
sett at the hour named for the sale, 6
o'clock. It gradually grew*, however, and
the sale was a lively one. One reason for
the delay of the crowd in arriving was
that the mechanics and others for whoso
benefit the sale was chiefly intended, do
not get away from work until 6:30 o’clock,
and consequently it was nearly 7 when
they reached the scene of the sale.
Mr. Dorsett announced the terms, S2O
cash and $2.50 a month on unpaid pur
chase money with 5 per cent. in
terest, He further stated that as
a close calculation showed that each
lot stood the company in for $275 no bid
for a lot for any less amount would be
considered. It was somewhat temarkable
that after making this announcement Mr.
Dorsett was able to dispose of about
twenty-five lots, everyone of them at
above the figure named by him as the up
set price. The crowd hardly reached
twenty-five in number so that the sales
averaged more than one lot for each per-
son present.
Mr. C. C. Hartfelder started the ball
rolling by offering $3lO each for two lots
on St. John's strert next to the corner of
Price. Mr. R. L. Jackson bought the
next lot on that side of the street for S3OO.
Mr. W. B. Williford paid $315 for a. lot
next to the corner of Price on St. Michael
street. Mr. Jackson wanted the lot at the
corner of St. Paul and Price streets and
gave an even S4OO for it. After this the
a ale of plots progresesd smoothly and
quietly, bids being started at the bottom
figure of $275 and gradually run up. The
corner lots on Plant avenue seemed to be
in demand. Mr. Edward Dawson took the
two lots at St. Nicholas and Plant streets
on the south aide at $3lO each, while Mrs.
C. S. Connerat bought the two lots on
the opposite comer at $295 each. At St.
Paul street and Plant avenue Mr. D. L.
McCune secured a diagonal lot with 53
feet front for $292.50. Walter S. Kuhlman
bought the lot next to the corner of St.
Paul and Price streets for S3OO, while Mr.
F. Wool lard secured the two adjoining
lots at $290 and $287.50. Mr. J M. Breck
inridge purchased two lots on St. Nich
ols neixt to the corner of Price at $290
each. Mr. F. W. Garden took four lots
on St. Nicholas street at $285 each. W. E.
Peay bought a lot on St. John’s street for
$275. being the only man ro secure a lot
at th* upset price named, with the ex
ception of Mr Dorsett, •who took the two
adjoining lots at the corner of Plant ave
nue at the same figure.
More lots could evidently have been sold
at this figure, but as It was growing late
Mr. Dorsett concluded that it was not
worth while to continue the sa2e and an
nounced that those who still desired to
s°cure lots in that locality could call on
him at his office.
BORROWED TO BI'RY HIS CHILD.
Failure fa Pay the Loan Resulted In

A peace warrant was sued out in Mag

by Lucy Grant, against Zeke Williams.
The plaintiff averred in her statement

with which to bury his dead child, and
that he had since refused to pay it back,
although she had repeatedly demanded it,
and he had as many times promised to

Annie Connor, white, was arrested yes
terday on a charge of cursing a lady and
for vagrancy.
Johnson Austin, colored, was arrested
at the request of T. Hangieos, who
charges him with peddling bananas, with

ON ITS THIRD TRIAL.
Dr. Read's Suit Against tbe City and
Suburban Hallway.
The suit of Dr. J. B. Head against the
I City and Suburban Railway for J 30.000
damages for injuries received as the re
sult of coming in contact with a law hang
ing trolley wire whJe riding tn his buggy
on Congress street. August, 1895, was be
gun in the City Court yesterday.
The case is well known, being remarka
ble not only for the peculiarity of the ac
cident but because of the further fact
that this is the third time the suit has
been brought for trial In the City Court,
At the first trial Dr. Read was awarded a
verdict by a Jury for S5 000. Judge Nor
wood granted anew- trial on the petition
of the company's attorneys, and on ihe
second trial granted a non-suit after the
p'aintiff's evidence wag in, on the ground
that the evidence did not show that the
plaintiff had exercised ordinary care and
d.ligence. This decision was reversed by
the Supreme Court, and anew trial grant
ed.
Dr. Rend and his driver. Edward Lloyd,
were on the witness stand in the after
noon. Lloyd's case is not being tried with
that of Dr. Read as was the case at tile
former trial. Dr. Read testified as to the
mffciner of the accident, that he was
riding along Congress street in his buggy,
going toward Whitaker, with no cause
to suspect that the condition of the street
railway equipment was otherwise than
usuai. The trolley wire being small it
was not observed until within a few feet
of the occupants of the buggy, and when
too late to stop in time to avoid an acci
dent. Dr. Read was struck across the
face, the wire breaking his nose and in
flicting severe Injuries from the shock of
which he has never recovered.
Dr. Read stated that at that time he
was engaged in the pursuit of his pro
fession in Savannah, enjoying a large and
lucrative practice, ranging from $14,000 to
SIB,OOO a year. On account of the result
ing injury and shock to his nervous sys
tem. he was compelled to give up his
practice altogether, and even to leave
the city for the sakd of his health.
Edward Lloyd testified as to the man
ner of the accident. He did not see the
wire, he stated, until almost upon it, and
too late to stop the horses in time to
avoid the contact. Lloyd was considera
bly rattled upon the cross-examination
by Mr. Osborne. The attorneys In the
case ere O'Connor, O Byme & Hartridga
for the plaintiff, and Osborne & Law
rence for the defendant.
WENT TO BED ON A STOOP.
1 Countryman's Camp on a Liberty
Street Man's Front Steps.
A gentleman on Liberty stnee-t was con
siderably annoyed last night by a coun
tryman who insisted on using his stoop
for a bed. The man had come into the
city on one of the excursion trains the
night before and, if his condition last
night might be taken as evidence, had
laboriously and with a determination and
patience worthy of a better cause been
pouring into himself en assortment of
liquor ever since he arrived.
As he was meandering down Liberty
street the notion that it was bed time sud
denly struck him, and he decided to re
tire without more ado. Oscillating from
side to side of the steps leading to the first
stoop that he came to, after the momen
tous determination to look for the sand
man had struck him. he finally reached
the top and without as much as 'by your
leave’ took off his coat and folding It pil
low-wise prepared to "look for morning.”
Whether he would have continued the
disrobing act is impossible to say for
about the time that his pillow had been
prepared, the occupant of the house dis
covered the uninvited guest and tried to
convince him that a hotel was his most
pressing need and that Savannah had
them to bum. Buit the countryman re
fused to be convinced; he was pretty com
fortable as it was and in his early youth
he had been taught to "let well enough
alone,” so he stuck to his original resolve
to stay “right whar he was.” Hie unwil
ling host, finding that moral suasion
did not accomplish the desired result, tel
ephoned for the police, but when the
wagon reached the scene the would-be
lodger bad decided that "these dumed
town folks was mighty uncivil to strang
ers, anyhow,” and trad stumbled down
the steps and wandered on down the
street, leaving his coat behind him.
The coat was taken to the barracks; in
his pockets were found a knife and a rail
road ticket, but nothing else that would
lead to the identification of the owner. It
is expected that the coatlees wanderer will
either call or send for his apparel as soon
as enough of his Jg evaporates for him
to realize hts loss.
MR. J. R. POTTS MANAGER.
Murphy A Cos. Have p a t Him tn
Charge of Their Brokerage Office.
Mr. J. R. Potts lias been appointed local
manager for the brokerage firm of Murphy
& Cos., and will hereafter be in charge of
the firm's affairs at this end of the line.
The appointment comes as a compliment,
since it was at the request of practically
all the firm's local patrons that it was
made. Mr. Potts enjoys the friendship and
confidence of the local traders.
Considerable interest centers in Murphy
& Co.’s offices during market hours. By
private, wires from New York and Chica
go quotations are posted on, sales of all
listed securities and commodities, the quo
tations being marked up within a few sec
onds after the transactions are made at
these exchanges. These quotations are
posted simultaneously at scores of other
offices throughout the country, and are
the sole means of stimulating or stultify
ing trade.
Prior to assuming his present duties as
manager Mr. Potts was the firm's tele
graph operator, and consequently had
charge of the hoards. While serving in
this capacity he usually always succeed
ed in "telling the story as ’twas told to
him."

WILL DISCUSS ARMY HOSPITAL
XO REPORT LOOKED FOR OX
STREET RAILROAD PETITIONS.
Xlr. I,enter Thinks He Is Being Given
u Cold Deal—Government Hospital
Proposition to Be Submitted.
Agreement Between City nnd Hos
pitals as to Continuance of Hos
pital Appropriations Has Expired.
Its Continaance -May Depend tpon
the Action of Council ip Reference
to the Purchase of the Hospital
Bnlldiugs.
Outside of the government hospital mat
ter there appears to be very little of mo
ment to come before the City Council this
afternoon. It is a poor Council meeting,
however, that does not develop something
of interest and this one is not likely to be
any exception.
No report is expected from the Street
and Lane Committee upon the petitions for
street railway franchises which were re
ferred to that body some time ago. Al
derman Dixon, chairman of the commit
tee, said yesterday that he had no inten
tion of making a report to-day. Mr. D.
B. Lester, president of the Vernon Shell
Road Company, whose petition for fran
chises wae published some time ago, when
asked about the matter said that he
thought he Is being given a very cold deal
by Council. Further than this Mr. Les
ter did not care to discuss the matter.
Even the report submitted by the Street
and Lane Committee about a month ego,
offering a route to the Shell Road Com
pany Y>y way of Montgomery, Bay, Price,
Best and other streets in the southern
section, was withdrawn and the entire
matter was recommitted to the Street
and Lane Committee.
The conditions on which this franchise
was offered were considered onerous by
the company, and a circular letter, giving
reasons why it would be unjust and un
reasonable to attach such requirements
to the franchise, was addressed by the
attorneys of the company to the members
of the Council. This does not seem to
have aroused any action, however.
"We have the men and money with
which to build the rood,” said one of the
attorneys in discussing the matter. The
parties at the North, with whom we ate
in touch, are men of ample capital, end
are anxious to undertake the work, pro
vided a reasonable franchise is offered.
If the franchise be granted now we wii;
have the road complete, power house and
all, and in operation, before winter sets
in. This unexplained delay is very in
jurious as well as unjust to us. The cap
italists with whom we are dealing, are
men with large interests in various di
rections, and unless we can submit them
a definite proposition at an early date,
they are likely to abandon the matter al
together and seek fields where less ob
struction is offered to the investment ot
capital,”
Alderman Dixon, when this was men
tioned to him, simply said that he did
not believe in giving away the streets
of the city, and that whoever got them
would have to pay for them.
The opportunity afforded the city by the
quartermaster's department to purchase
the government hospital buildings practi
cally at its own figures, will be brought
to the attention of Council by Mayor
Myers. The question is likely to be de
bated at some length In the Committee
of the Whole, but it is doubtful if any re
sult will come of it. Aldermen Dixon and
Graham, and probably others, favor tho
acquisition of the buildings, and the es
tablishment of a city hospital, with a
view to diverting the present hospital ap
propriations for its support, but the ma
jority of the board appears to view the
matter with doubt. Mayor Myers has
been looking into the question of an
available site for the hospital, in case
the city should decide to purchase the
buildings, and will doubtless he able to
furnish the meeting some information on
this score.
In this connection It may be brought
to mind and to the attention of Council
that the term for which the appropria
tions by the city to the hospitals were
continued has expired, as has also the
terms for which the Mayor and health
officer were elected members of the
boards of managers of the Savannah Hos
pital, the St. Joseph's Infirmary and the
Georgia Infirmary. The question of the
advisability of continuing this arrange
ment will doubtless be brought tip for
d'seussion this afternoon. The indica
tions hove been that this nrrangement
