PAY IP OH BE FIRED.
Seaboard's Warning Circular to Its
Em ploy es.
The Seaboard Air Line has put its foot
down on employes who do not pay their
debts. A circular has been Issued tha*
employes of the company who do not pay
up will be dropped from its employ. The
circular goes on to say:
“The practice of employes permitting
amounts due them on account of wages
to be garnisheed by parties to whom they
are indebted is a serious annoyance to our
paymaster, and interferes materially with
the efficient discharge of his duties. It is.
therefore, ordered that immediately upon
the service of any garnishee process, upon
any officer of this company, that such ©?-
fi or at once advise by telegraph the gen
eral counsel and paymaster, the name of
tho employe whose wages are garnisheed;
how and where employed; the amount due
him from the company on the date of
service of process; whether married or
single, and the hour and date of service;
that immediately upon receipt of notice
the paymaster will advise the division
superintendents of the facts of the case,
and division superintendents will make a
record of the same, and If it appears
that the wages of the said employe have
been at any time heretofore garnisheed,
then the superintendent shall at once dis
charge said employe from the service of
the company.
"The practice of employes giving orders
upon the paymasters for amounts due or
to become due Is prohibited, and if any
such order is at any time hereafter given,
the paymaster is hereby prohibited from
accepting or paying the same; that he
shall at once notify the superintendent of
the division upon which the party giving
such order is employed, and said superin
tendent shall moke a record of the fact
and discharge the party giving such or
der from the service of the company. Di
vision superintendents are enjoined to en
force this regulation firmly, as it Is
necessary' to an efficient service, and the
company cannot continue in its service
men who interfere with the successful
operation of the paymaster's department
by a failure to meet their obligations.”
TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS.
Indications Arc Tliut the Southern
Will Have u Crowd.
The annual mountain excursion over
the Southern Railway from Savannah to
the mountains of Nor h ami South Caro
lina will be run Aug. 22. Mr. James Free
man, city passenger and ticket agent, has
received many inquiries about the excur
sion and rates and it stems probable that
there v. ill be a big crowd to take advant
age of the opportunity to visit the re
s rts at a ccst far below that which p:e
vails ordinarily.
The Southern offers a through train,
there being no change of cars necessary.
The train will leave Savannah at 7 o'clock
In the morning, central time. Returning,
the excursionists may take any train with
in the limit of the tickets. Sept. 3. The
mountain resorts offer attractions that
many regard as Irresistible, and It Is
ptobable that the excursion, which will
be the first the Southern has operated
over its own line all the way, will draw
many passengeis.
A CUV EMATO S COPE SHOW,
Variation Next Friday for Isle of
Hope Entertainments.
An entertainment at Isle of Hope next
Friday evening promises to be one of
the best and most up-to-date of the sea
son. Mr. Banks, the manager, has re
cured a clnematoscope, which is said to
be one of the finest machines of its kind
in use. It will probably draw a big crowd.
The machine has a record of showing so
clearly that the pictures look like the
"real thing."
Some of the pictures to be exhibited will
be the Corbett and Fitxslmmons fight
from start to finish, a trip across the
Brooklyn bridge by moonlight. Dewey and
his squadron, the big celebration in New
York city on Dewey day, the charge of
the Rough Riders at the battle of San
tiago, the battle of Manila and other.
The pavilion will be arranged so as to
seat 800 people. New seats are now being
made which will he ready. The entertain
ment will start promptly on the arrival of
the 9 o’clock car and will last until 10:30.
Tamagno has met with a se
rious accident. Workmen who were mov

SPORT LOVERS STILL SOUE.
Pearce'# Former Friend* Continue
to Kick Tlieraaelvea.
The soreness ani disgust of the sporting
element and the sport-loving public gen
erally with the Corcoran-Pearce prize
fight at the Theater Friday night was in
no wise diminished yesterday. There
were probably 1,000 people in attendance
at the theater and some of them were to
be met with yesterday in every quarter
and in every walk of life. While less vo
ciferous in their denunciations they
if anything, more positive in their charges.
Next to the heavy losers the sorest people
In town are the fellows who took Pearce
in hand and handled him. helped him in
his training and assisted him on the night
of the fight.
”li was q trick.” said Pete Manzie. “To
think that I put in weeks training that
fellow and then got such a ihrowndown os
that. He might have let me known if
there was anything doing. I lost S3O on
him. I was so mad when I saw him lie
down on the floor that I could have kick
ed him. He hadn’t done any fighting at
all.”
“The worst of it is,” 6aid Manzie, “that
Savannah is one of the most liberal towns
in the country to sporting people, and
yet the public gets a deal liKe that. Just
as we get the interest worked up to the
right pitch this fellow Pearce has to come
along and killed it oil.”
There are well known sporting men and
business men. too, who bet on Pearce,
and whose losses run up into the hun
dreds. They ore not making any outcry
about it. but their disgust is all the more
pronounced. It is stated that one of the
policy kings, who is now making an ex
tended stay at the Hotel de Sweeny by
request of Judge Falligant, is a loser to
the tune of several hundred on Pearce.
It is w'ell for “Cracker” that he Is a
philosopher or his misfortunes might
overwhelm him.
Corooran had a large number of friends
who backed him largely on personal
grounds, and many of these are winners
in various amounts. Fireman John P.
Duffy at the central station on Oglethorpe
avenue, is ahead of the game to the tune
of $l5O. and is now ready to back Corcoran
against anything of his size that may
happen along.
Health Officer Brunner does not agree
with the generally expressed opinion con
cerning Pearce’* conduct and fighting
qualities. “I never laid eyes on Pearce
until he came on the stage.” said Dr.
Brunner, "ond I sized him up at once
as in no condition for a fight. The man
was trained down too fine, his skin was
sallow' and he had no color. His muscles
were drawn and his underpinning looked
weak as if he had been taking off flesh
in a sweat box from the wetet down. I
was not nt all surprised at the outcome
of the fight, and I am satisfied that the
knockout was genuine.”
Dr. Brunner is a careful student of phy
sical manhood, and his opinion w'ill have
considerable weight, but it will hardly
serve to remove the bad impression of the
hundreds w’ho were present Friday night
FIGHTI NG CLAIM FOR KUI-IEF.
Owner* of FanTrnff'B CnrKO Want
Company to Make fioml Tlielr Los*.
The taking of evidence in the applica
(ion of the Merchants’ and Miners' Trans
portation Company, owner of the wrecked
steamship William Lawrence, to be re
lieved from liability for the loss beyond
the value of the wreck, is being contin
ued almost daily before Mr. T. P. Rav
ens!. appointed master in admiralty by
Judge Speer.
The Lawrence went ashore on Hunting
Island, in a gale that sprang up during
her voyage from Baltimore to Savannah,
during the early part of last year, and
became a total wreck. The application
of the owner for relief from liability to
the owners of the cargo was filed in court,
while the Lawrence was still on the
rocks, with the waves beating the last
ve6tige of seaworthiness or value out of
the shattered hulk. Under the procedure
In such cases the owner of the vessgl
abandoned her to the owners of the cargo,
for the purpose of recovering from the
wreck anything of value they could find
The application for relief is based on
the contention that, at the time of the
wreck the Lawrence was an entirely
staunch and seaworthy vessel, of approved
strength and qualities, adequately offi
cered, manned and equipped and sailed
by the master with all due and proper
caution and care for the safety of ship,
passengers and cargo.
The wreck, according to the contention
of the owner of the Lawrence, could not
hove been prevented by any mortal fore
sight or precaution and resulted from the
act of God. Under this contention it is
sought to escape liability.
The matter was referred by Judge Speer
to the master in admiralty, for the pur
pose of taking testimony and making
a report to the court, based upon the evi
dence adduced. The application of the
owner of the Lawrence for relief from
liability is being contested by the owners
of the cargo, on the apparent ground that
the vessel was not seaworthy, and that
her destruction could have been prevented
by the exercise of greater foresight or
greater skill in management. The testi
mony is exceedingly voluminous, and since
May the master has been engaged at very
frequent intervale in examining witnesses.
Some of them have remained on the stand
for two or three days at a time.
Cooling Drink* In Turkey.
From the London Telegraph.
Our Constantinople correspondent
writes: When we read here of great
heat in London, it is very pleasant to
note that in one respect, at any rate,
Constantinople Is ahead of London. It Is
that of cooling. non-intoxicant drinks.
You cannot get away from them; in all
the main streets nearly every other shop
has a counter of white marble, and large
bottles of Iced water, lemonade, cherry
syrup, pomegranate syrup, or something
of the sort. Green leaves surround the
bottles, and a little machine keeps up a
tinkling of glasses to attract the passers
bv. Certain shops are known for their
specialties in certain syrups, and others
for their water, about which Turks are
very particular, and can tell at once from
which of the many springs near the capi
tal it comes. The streets swarm with
itinerant sellers with elaborate arrange
ments for keeping the water cool. Some
have a regular booth, where they dispense
anything from water to a gazenze. which
is the name of effervescing lemonade.
The simplest method Is that adopted by
those who carry about a huge glass bot
tle holding about two gallons of lemon
ade, on the mouth of which Is balanced a
large lump of ice, continually dripping in
to the bottle. These drinks are the cheap
est 1 farthing a tumbler. Unfortunately
the coin representing a farthing Is almost
extinct, so that the drinker has to drink
two glasses or come back next day for
the balance. The ice-cream vendors, too.
must not be forgotten. Their picturesque
get-up is very distinctive, and they do a
roaring trade. The ice* they sell are
very pure, and one never hears of cases
of illness among those eating them. The
time when the men do their best business
wlili European* Is at night, after dinner.
Every one Is then sitting outside on the
Hosphorous; the Iceman comes along with
a boat, and seems at once to supply a
long-felt want. We are having very hot
weather Just now. but It Is qulle the right
weatehr for the season, and will not last
more than another fortnight,

MAY OPPOSE COL. LESTER.
WELL-KNOWN YOUNG LAWYER A
HUMORED C ANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS.
His Absence From the City Prevent
ed Securing His Authority for the
Use of His Name—Hepublicuu Fac
tions Said to He Reconciled and
Other Candidates to lie With
drawn-Will Fight Out Their Dif
ferences After the Election—Op
position to Sliver the Rallying
Cry.
For several days rumor has persistently
contended that Col. Lester would have op
position in the coming election for Con
gress, and that the opposition would *ome
from a source that was least expected.
Yesterday the rutnor became more defi
nite. naming the candidate in whom the
various elements that are opposing the
suer*? of the regular Democracy in the
coming campaign are to find representa
tion. The prospective candidate Is among
the younger members of the Savannah
bar and is prominent in the social, milita
ry and fraternal life of the city. It has
been known, however, that he opposed
certain of the planks of the Chicago and
Kansas City platforms, notably those
which favor the free coinage of) silver at
the ratio of sixteen to one.
When the report of the opposition to
Col. Lester had become sufficiently defi
nite to indicate the name of the candi
date, he was no. in the city. It was
learned, after some investigation, that he
was making a Saturday-to-Monday visit
to some friends in the country'.
It Is understood, however, that the deal
has been arranged and that in the selec
tion of anew candidate the differences
of the warring factions of the Republi
can party in the district have all been
reconciled. For the nomination for Con
gress one w’ing has been favoring Mr.
W. R. Leaken, while the other pinned its
allegiance to Mr. Tomfinson F. Johnson.
According to those who are either on the
inside themselves or claim to have re
ceived the information they are dissemi
nating from the fountain source, all is
now serene in the rival Republican
camps. Any little disputes aw’aiting set
tlement have been postponed until after
the elections, when they will be fought
out in the division and distribution of the
spoils.
Whether the candidate of the opposition
will make the fight on the straight Re
publican ticket, or, running as an Inde
pendent Gold Democrat, will strive to se
cure the votes of-those of all parties who
oppose the platform of principles announc
ed fmm Kansas City, remains in consid
erable doubt. The doubt applies equally
to the manner of his nomination.
The story that is going the rounds has
it that the arrangements for the nomi
nation were consummated at a meeting of
the Republican powers that be, or would
be, a few' nights ago. It was immediate
ly after this meeting, when enthusiasm
ran high and good fellowship was not
far behind, that some Inkling of the plans
that there and then were formulated were
let out.
TO DISCUSS THE RILE,
Cotton Exchangee to Decide Penalty
Question Tills W eek.
There is still a good deal of talk among
the members of the Cotton Exchange
about the probable action of the directors,
as to the forfeiture rule, which a large
element of the trade wants repealed.
Others, however, want its operation sus
pended for the coming season only.
It ie probable the directors will meet
early in the week, when decisive action
will be taken,. While the chances are
that the rule will be repealed, it will prob
able not be done without a protest from
those who regard such action os a step
backward. They believe that a conces
sion of this kind will make it a hard
matter to enforce the rule In future.

SHARP THICK.I BY MAIL.
Some Shrewd Device* of Swindler*
to Hob Credulous People.
' From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Over 8300.000 Is the yearly tribute paid
by citizens of Chicago y> swindlers who
operate through the United States malls.
This amount is equal to the annual Income
of over 800 average workingmen.
If all the burglars, shoplifters, pickpock
ets and bunco men within a radius of
twenty-five miles of the City Hall were
to bunch or pool their "pickings" the to
tal would be less than half the sum
•'milked'' out of the public by these inge
nious "mall frauds." The men engaged In
the business are the brainiest criminals in
the world. They are the creators of
schemes which they themselves promote,
by the courtesy of Uncle Sam. These origi
nators of Ideas study the law carefully
and make every effort which the best le
gal advice can give to keep out of the
law's meshes.
"Old things" are out of tlate with the
übiquitous swindler. It Is only In new
Ideas he deals, while the novice In crime
Is occasionally heard of promoting a
"wire tapping" plot, "silk" deal or "lot

The only compensation the public re
ceives Is In the percentage of convictions
secured In the United Slats courts. Not
30 per rent, of the prisoners chsrged with

A few weeks ago complaint was made
to the authorities that the Traders’ Im
porting Company of Chicago was not all
it claimed to be. The managers of this
concern gave orders for goods In all part3
of the country. To them It did not mat
ter whether their purchases were cotton,
nats and caps, wall paper, leather findings,
silks of plowshares. They gave what
seemed to be satisfactory references, and
in most cases obtained the goods on thirty,
s*ixty and ninety days’ lime. As the goods
were delivered in Chicago they were at
once sold at greatly reduced values, if n
quick sale could be made; If not, they were
shipped to another city and disposed of in
auction rooms and quick-sale stores to the
best advantage. Of course the company
paid for nothing, and what cash it re
ceived was all "velvet.” The originators
of this clever idea are guests of Jailer
Whitman under a fifteen months’ sen
tence.
One of the shrewdest schemes played by
a woman “con” came to, attention last
week. One of the principal dry goods
houses of State street received a letter
from a lady, giving her address in one
of the best residence sections of Drexel
boulevard. Bhe inclosed a bit of rare
lace, which the said was to be used in the
trousseau of her daughter. If the houa*
had 100 yards would they kindly have the
same securely packed and sent C. O. D. to
the address given. The bill, amounting
to SMO, w'af* duly receipted, and with the
goods sent by a trusted employe who, on
arrival at the address, found a handisome
woman in rich costume, who handed the
package to a maid to Inspect, before she
paid for the goods. Presently she went to
a desk and asked for the bill. Too had,
but she did not have quite money enough
to settle in full. She would given the
messenger $lO on account, and have him
leave the package just as it was, to the
“Tobe-calied-for” counter. She w'ould he
up the next day as soon as the bank open
ed and the goods. Incidentally she
charmed the employe and delayed him as
long as possible In conversation.
The package was returned to him, and
by him to the store. The next day the wo
man did not show up. and in the after
noon the package was opened. There was
no lace there; rags had been substituted.
Ihe remarkable part of this swindle lies !n
the fact Ihat over half a dozen leading
firms lost from $21)0 to S9OO each, all In one
day. The woman obtained access to the
house w here the packages were delivered
by renting u front suite of rooms. She
has not been apprehended.
Two important arrests were recently
made by Chicago postotfice inspectors, the
parlies being charged with misuse of tne
mails. The scheme as developed by the
evidence was this: Taking the list of pat
ents, with name* and addresses of in
ventors, which the patent office sends out
weekly, one of the conspirators would
open up correspondence with the inventor,
with a view to buying. He would readily
agree to almost any old price, the only
things which stood in the way being the
prospective purchaser's fear that the pa -
erit might not lie good. If the owner would
agree to have Lawyer 80-and-So, who was
an expert on the matter of "interferences,”
pass on (fie legal status of the patent,
why, the deal would be through.
The owner of the patent would readily
give up from $25 to <IOO to the lawyer
named os an advance fee, and in return
would get an opinion that the patent was
not worth the paper it was written on.
Seven hundred and fifty dollars was about
an average sum which these swindlers
divided daily for the month they were
in operation. Their mail is now stamped
“Fraudulent.”
Recently the widow of William Janes.
M. D., then of Jamaica Plain, Mass., re
ceived a letter from a man in Chicago,
advertising as a real estate dealer and
broker, Informing her that unless steps
were taken at once to protect the bond
tor a deed given to her late husband on
certain valuable Taney county (Missouri)
property there woud ensue a forfeiture
of all sums he had previously paid,
amounting to about S9OO. The communi
cation to Mrs. Janes conveyed the fur
ther Information that for SIOO, the same
being a deferred payment on the bond,
a good and sufficient deed would be made
to her. Mrs. Janes asked for further
light, and was awarded by an abstract
of title made by a corporation calling it
seld the Southern Abstract Company,
showing title from the old s3[ianl*h con
quest down to the present day, with prop
erly executed warranty deed to her of 3J
acres of land. References were given her
at Forsythe, Taney county, and she was
advised to Inquire as to the value of the
property. The abstract and deed were
sent by express, with privilege of exam
ination, C. O. D. The whole deal looked
so fair that Mrs. Jane was about to pay
$lO5 and take the papers when she
chanced to meet I’ostottbe Inspector
Thomas Evan* at Boston. He advised her
to w r alt a little. Inspector Evans then
Bent a decoy letter to the Chicago man,
asking If he knew anything about cer
tain Taney county (Mo.) lands, which his
orotlier hud bought before his death. He
received an affirmative answer. The
dealer’s arrest followed, and he was tried
and convicted ul the last term of court
in Boston his sentence helng a tine of
$3,000 which he at once pnld.
The following advertisement appeared
in a recent is ue of a Chicago paper:
"Refined young lady, good-looking, not
poor, wishes acquaintance honorable man;
object matrimony. Address -1— ’’
A letter sent for Information brought
a reply from a woman stenographer of
Chicago, who claims to be operating a
matrimonial agency. All that she want
ed In order to connect the anxious Inquir
er with ihe r fined young lady was sl. A
further Inves igatlon of thin scheme dis
posed Ihe fact that the "young lady” Is
>id< partner and roomer with the agen
cy woman or business manager. They oc-
cupy a flat on the south side When a
