Mackall Say* \ll the Preliminaries Have Ileen \r rnnsed and the Ground Plans Have Keen Agreed Upon—Architects Will Submit Plans for Building Shortly. Mr. J. Randolph Anderson left for At lanta last night. He (Carried with him the application for a charter of the Sa vannah Tnion Station Company, together with a certified statement from the busi i.ess manager of the Morning News to the effect that the application had been adver tised once a week for four consecutive weeks as required by law. Mr. Anderson will spend to-day with his family in Marietta and will present the application to ihe Secretary of State to morrow. The application will doubtless be granted immediately, being in the ordi nary legal form and with an allowance cf a day for the usual legal formalities, in cluding recording, the charter will doubt less be on its way to Savannah by to-mor row. Mr. W. W. Mackall. who is acting as agent for the several corporations inter ested in the new union station, said yes terday that all matters in this connection were progressing very satisfactorily. ‘'Vice President Gannon of the Southern Railway was in the city this week.” said Mr. Mackall, “and we had a pleasant con ference upon the subject. Asa result of tills conference I can state that the ground floor plans for the depot, the ar rangement of tracks and other details, have all been settled upon by the compa nies interested are now being drawn. The plans were drawn by Mr. T. S. Tuiwiler of the Plant System, copies will be furnished to the proper of ficials- of the com pan is interested.” As to th* plans for the station itself. Mr Mackall said that several well known archi ects are now engaged in pre parirg plans to be submitted for inspec tion. “These plans will be submitted and pass and upon within the next month.” soli Mr. Mackall, "and a selection will no doubt b* made within a short time, there of er. The delays with which we have met in under.akirg the erection of the have not b en to our disadvantaig at cil 1 , as we, have been enabled to look more ful y into our warns and to reach a more satisfactory idea as to the char acter of the building required. For one thing, we have and cided to take, in the en ti e bio k at West Hroad, Stewart and Roberts *tree s, ins cad of using a portion • f the block for other purposes, as was at first intended The 1 cation is a de-ira b e one and I can as ure you ihat the new union and pot will be a building of which Savannah can be justly proud. 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 ing a heavy picture In his Villa Marghe rlto, at Varese, let It slip, and the frame struck the famous tenor on the head, in juring him severely. 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, —Count Leo Tolstoi la still a rich man.

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. CITY BREVITIES. George Thompson brought to the Morn ing New T s yesterday a very fine specimen of tobacco raised in the Cuvier place on Waters’ Road, This golden ltaf tobacco Is adapted for cigars or chewing tobacco, and Thompson claims It to be equal io any grown in North Carolina. t In a running effort to arrest a negro, whose conduct had entitled him to arrest, Patrolmanu Frank Wall lost his revolver from his pocket lost night.

Leo Rausseur of St. Louis, will be elected commander-in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at the national encampment week after next. The old candidates for the place have one after another withdrawn from the race, and yesterday the only one In the field was the St. Louis man, who 19 noiv a judge on the bench. Some of the friends of Gen. John C. Black, past commander of the department of Illinois, had cherished a hope that he might be chosen, but Gen. Black discour aged all agitation in his favor. His law practice is absorbing all of his time. Friends of the General announced yester day that no objection would be made by Illinois to the election of the St. Louis man. Unless the unexpected should hap pen, Maj. Rausseur will have no opposi tion from other sources. The position be longs to the, West this year, in accord ance with the accepted rule of rotation in office. 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 tery” swindle. 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 schemes In the state courts are success fully prosecuted. Many of them exercise a "pull" and their cases are "dismissed," while not 10 per cent, of the violators of Pimples Are more than a disfigurement of the skin; they are a handicap to a young man, alike in love and business.

Send 21 one-cent stamps for book in paper covers, or 31 stamps for cloth, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. the federal statutes escape paying the penalty. 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 correspondent requires to meet the “young lady” he is given on opportunity at the agency rooms, and in nine cases out of ten is not only hung up for a wine supper, but goes away financially a loser.
