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, I.osg of the Saale Prevented Many From doing to Louilon. Some of the Georgia Christian Endeav orers who started for Europe to attend the International Convention In London failed to secure steamer accommodations, and have returned home. Reiv. and Mrs. H. F. Long of Fitzgerald were in the etty yesterday on their return from Boston. Mr. Long is pastor o* the Lutheran Church at Fitzgerald. He and Mrs. Long were to have sailed in the S tile from Boston, July 3. The loss of the ill-fated ship in the Hoboken fire chang ed the plans of the Kndeavorers, and many of them W'ere unable to secure pass age on other vessels. About fifteen Geor gians were to have made the trip. Some of these had engaged passage by other lines. As soon as possible after ttie burn ing of the Saale freight ships were char tered in her place, but these will not reach London until the convention'which opens Saturday, has adjourned, but the excur sionists will visit Paris and the exposition and take in the continental tours. t'LOI DS If If) Ol'CI LTATION.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY" 11, 1900. 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 Magistrate’s Warrants. A peace warrant was sued out in Mag istrate G. Noble Jones’ court yesterday by Lucy Grant, against Zeke Williams. The plaintiff averred in her statement that she bad loaned to Williams money 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 make it good. Recently it seems that be became tired of her constant 4iemands, and a quarrel was thq result, hut as the plaintiff, said she. “lowed he was ignant,” and took no legal steps until he threaten ed her, then fearing personal harm, she decided to put him under a peace bond. 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 out a license. The man and several hun dred bananas, his stock in trade, were Irundled to the barracks.

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.

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 would be continued indefinitely, but the opportunity afforded the city to obtain a hospital of its own may put a different face on affairs. Cotton Exchange’s New Rules. The charter, by-laws and revised rules of the 'Savannah Cotton Exchange, from the presses of the Morning News, were received at the exchange yesterday for dis tribution among members. The report also contains the list of original charter mem bers of the exchange, present committees, and other Information. The matter: was compiled by Supt. J. P. Merrihew. Epworth Services at Wesley. The second of the special services an nounced for Wednesday evenings, at Wes ley Monumental Church, will be held to night at 8:30 o'clock. The pastor will lead the service, assisted by members of the league. The topic of Bible study is im portant and of special interest to the church. Eating anti Sleeping.
