A LARGE PURCHA E.
The Cen r.il Cotton Press to be Bought
By lh-: Ocean Steainsh p Company.
It was rumored on the streets to-day that
the Ocean Steamship Company, of Savannah,
had purchased on Saturday last the Central
Cotton Press, paying therefor the sum of
$184,000. A Times reporter called on sev
eral directors of the Steamship Company and
Central Railroad, who stated that arrange
ments had been made, partially, for the pur
chase of the press, on certain contingencies,
which may or may not affect the sale. There
will be a meeting of the Cotton Press Direc
tors to-night, at which time the arrangements
looking to the sale may be perfected or re

New Orleans, April 13.—A negro tramp
assaulted Mrs. Sarah Thompson, of Tigiie
mergo county, Miss , on Thursday night. The
tramp escaped, but was captured yesterday
in Colberia, Ala. He resisted arrest and
was not captured until Ir night down by
shots from the sheriffs posse. He was
taken to luka, Miss,and lodged in jail. Last
evening a mob of seventy-tire men over

A BITTER FEELING
Culminates in a Probable Tragedy.
Wear, Tex , April 13.—A bitter feeling
has long existed between A. Knipsohn, an
influential citizen, and Kirk Tinsler, a
druggist. Last evening as Tinsler was driv
ing by the residence of Knipsohn, he was
fired upon by the latter and received a
charge of bird shot in the hea l and neck
Tinsler, though wounded, drew his rev< Izer
and shot his assailant through the fleshy
part of tbe thigh. The inj tries of Tinsler
are probably fatal.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1885.
FROM ATLANTA.
Wales Wynton in Georgia—Fred Brown
the S a d rer Promoted by John Me-
Lean.
Special Dispatch to the Divly Times.
Atlastv, April 13.—Wales Wynton
spent Saturday in Atlanta. He has been
in Cincinnati at work and has gone west
ward again to accept a position that has
been tendered him. He is not on the Cin
cinatti Enquirer and will not be. Wales
has 1-ft Georgia for good, and he will not
come here again for a year. He says Lied
Brown deeply regrets the trouble be has
caused Wynton. Brown has been promoted
to be’ city editor chief of the Enquirer
and is John McLean’s right hand man. In
Cincinnati the Macon matter is regarded as
a huge joke and as Brown passes down the
street the boys whis'le “Marching through
| Georgia.” Wynton says lie was going to
bull 1 himself up in another city and outlive
the unfortunate trouble that Brown got
him into. He is one of the best news
gitberers anywhere and will no doubt suc
ceed. He is n t deficient but is very deter
mined not to suffer any further over the
matter. It is rep ried that his sis era mos'
estimable young lady in Athens has lost he:
situation on account of tbe Macon matter.
When Wynton was here Saturday he met
a number of acquaintances and friend-,
amoug them Judge Emory Speer, who
chanced to be at the depot. If Wynton i
I brought to Georgia f>r trial he says it is im
| possib’e for the courts to convict him. He
l does not fear the issue. If the matter comes
up again it will be a bigger sensation than
ever.
The Franco-Chinese Peace.
From the Courier des Etats Unis.
It is announced by telegraph from Pekin
that the Tsing 1 Yamen has ratified the
p.-ehmimrles of peace signed on the 3d ol
inis month by the representatives of 1 rance
and China. This agrees with the advices
received some days since from a number ol
private sources, but without any authority
other than their different details Ac ording
to other advices hostil ties wil cease on tbe
10th of this month, the Chinese to evacuate
on the 20th the btnks of the delta of the
Red River, and gradually the remiitider ol
the Tonquin territory. Tbe French wil
I continue their occupation of Formosa and
j the Pescsdo e Inland without withdrawing
I the rice blockade and the prohibition ol
eitrance by neutrals until the definite con
clusion of peace. These com lesions are
thoroughly confirmed bra dispatch yester
day fion Paris, in which it is set forth that
the Government has rest Ived to continu
sending reinforcements to Tonquin un il
the treaty is signed.
The one thing clear in all this is that
peace is imminent, but that it is not yet
reached, and that the French Government
puts itself in a position to continue the war
with renewed energy if the preliminaries do
not lead to a peaceful solution. It is also a
confirmation of the programme advanced by
M. Brisson from the tribune of the Chamber
of Deputies. France takes cognizance of the
pacific disposition of China, but does not
accept it blindly, knowing by experience
that it is well to be distrustful of committing
herself by engagements until they shall have
been finally completed She is, moreover,
all the more fixed in this determination un
der the actual circumstances, knowing that
China would not execute her engagements
except under the pressure of absolute neces
sity and that she would hasten to escape from
straint the moment she felt relieved from
this pressure. ,
The rice blockade has undoubtedly been
the means of forcing China to treat. The
day when the population of North China
recognize that the imperial Goverrment is
powerless to assure them their proper food
supplies by the forwarding of the annual
contribution of the southern provinces a
mortal blow will be given to its prestige.
Moreover, the Chinese people can for a
long time, perhaps indefinitely, uncomplain
ingly bear up under the exactions of the
mandarins, but there are numerous exam
ples of revolts which have begun by the rise
in value of rice, the precursor of every fam
ine, and an outbreak of the population, pro
voked by such a motive, would be fatal to
the <’ns isty.
* ******
France has never demanded more than
the execution of the treaties which placed
Annrm and Tonquin under its protectorate,
and to-day she demands this and nothing
more. Ihe pretensions of China that she
wishes to reclaim these Provinces as her
territory is of verv recent date ami abso
lutely wi hout justification. China has never
had but a nemim l sovereignty over Annum.
Fruu.-e, as a matter of fact, has done noth
ing in i'omiuin save defending herself
against the unjust aggressions of the
Chinese.
She demands nothing better than to live
as neighbors on good terms with China and
to close the open wounds 'of a war which
she did not seek, but which she would un
flinchingly carry on until the situation
should be clearly, justly and irrevocably
established.
Japanese Progress.
Boston Transcript.
A Japanese gentleman who returned to
his native country last fall, after six years
of study in England and the United States,
writes: “While I was in America I had
been contemplating a pl in for the adoption
of Roman letters for > ur language, and saw
Pr f. ,of Cambridge, and others. On
m • return I find others of education have
l :he same view, and they have just started a
siciely, with which I have| jo nid as a
founder, and in which I will try my best to
carry forward the object. * * * * Just
now the intermeddling of Chinese in Corea
and their so'diers fighting with ours sta
tioned at the capital of the country, are ex
citing the people, who cry much for the
war with China. I hope we shall fight, and
tell the conceited Empire how we Japanese
are superior to them in our military system;
and we may take the opportunity of estab
lishing ourselves asthe leader of the Asiatic
nations”

• Gladstone's Residence—Kom iroff’s At
tack on the Afghans C -nsidered—
The Explanation Oft’rfr< <1 There
for Unsatisfactory War
Preparations to be Vig
orously Continued.
London, April 13.—A1l the ministers
met in council at Mr. G1 idstone’s official
residence in Downing street at noon to day.
The Russian version of the causes which led
up to General Komaroff’s recent atlack on
Afghans near Pendjeh, was thoroughly dis
cussed. The official explanations of tbe
affair were laid before th" ministers, and it
is understood on reliable authority that they
were adjudged eniirely tint tisfactory. The
council then decided that preparations for
war should continue and that mos. vigorous
measures to that end stolid be put into
operation at once.
ADDITIONAL EXPLANATION’S BY K MAROFF.
A St. Petersburg dispatch received i t the
foreign i slice late th s afternoon contains ad
ditii n 1 expl illations and excuses for Gen
era] Komarcft s attack on the Afghan. Gen
eral Komarofl now states that he was in
possession ot positive information that a
night attack on his troops was contem; 1 tied
by the Afghan commander,
an ! in order to forestall all the consequences
of surprise he W)S forced to dislodge the
Afghans from the threatening p isitionwhich
t ey held This latest theory as to the
course pursued by the Ru stan com
mander has not had the effect of
mending matters. Eac i new prevari
cation has apparently the effect of dis
gusting both the Government officials and,
the people. A speedy termination of di
plomatic intercourse, foil iwed by a declara
r.on of war seems nearer at hand than ever.
AN ANGLtJ-RUaSIAN WAR.
Its Probable Effect Upon American
Shipping and Commerce.
Philadelphia Special.
The immineucy of war between Grea
Britain and Russia is already having its
effect upon the shipping of Philadelphia.
On the very day that the news of tbe Af
ghan fight was received here wheat ad
vanced seven cents per bushel, foreign ship
pers demanded increased freight rates, and
in several instances exporters asked the in
surance companies for war risks before they
woull let their vesstL leave tbe port. All
this, however, indicates a 'feeling. There
is as yet no pronounced movement to
ward higher prices for breadsluffs or
shipping rates. The slight advance thus
far shown in these is simply the, result of a
speculative tendency. Before the A'gfcan
battle there were lying idle in the port of
Philadelphia probably fifty European ves
sels, each over 700 tons register. A large
proportion of these vessels sailed under the
English flag. The fleet lay idle because
they were unable to secure cargoes at any
rate, however low. To-day these same ves
t's are demanding standard rates.
This demand is not incited by a speculative
desire, but by a strong tendency to hold aloof
and remain inactive until something decisive
is known. Os the unchartered European
vessels now in port, not one is anxious to
take a cargo, even at an advanced rate. Ten
days ago their owners were anxiously seeking
cargoes at almost any figure. The indispo
sition of vessel owners just now to do
business is born of tbe fear that war might
be declared while they are at sea, and
they would fail to reap the advantages
of the high rates, both as regards freight
and insurance, that would at once go into
effect the moment war was declared. It
should be explained, however, that the in
creased shipping rates demanded have not
been accompanied by proportionate activi
ty in shipping. I< remains in the same stag
nant condi 1 i>n it has been in for months.
As yet there seems to be no awakening.
This serves to prove more clearly than all
else the fact that the indifference of ship
pers is simp y an ixpression of feeling
—nothin? more. The same thing
may be sai I of the advance in grain
with this addition, that it is the natural
outcome of a speculative tendency. No
sooner had the news of the first skirmish
reached the Commercial Exchange than
speculative fever seized upon all upon the
floor and in a jiffy wheat had risen from
ninety-three cents to one dollar per bushel.
No increased demand accompanied this ad
vance. The market remained unchanged as
far as sales were concerned, and it remains so
to-day.
As to marine risks the agents of every
European vessel that has left Philadelphia
since the opening of hostilities have de
manded premium risks. Touching upon
this subject this morning, the President of
one of the largest fire and marine insurance
companies in the country said : “There has
as yet been no advance in marine
rates upon the part of the insur
ance companies. Since the Afghan
fight shippers to Europe have demanded
premium rates, but these were all individual
cases. In every instance the demand was in
proportion to the freight- There has been
no general movement looking to an advance.
Os course in the event of a formal declara
tion of war the companies would unite upon
war rates.”

HORNING.
The Commercial Honor of Savannah Im
peached and at etake.
Editor Savannah Times: Since my
last communication to you on the above sub
ject I have conversed much with many gen
tlemen of professional and commercial stand- i
ing in this city on the revelations of the
press during the lust few months, of the prac
tices in various branches of trade; more es
pecially on fertilizers and naval stores.
I find but one opinion expressed; viz.., that
the commercial honor of Savannah is deeply
involved in the failure to refute, on the part
of the naval stores dealers of the city, the
charges of dishonesty implied in the state
ments of the Morning News reporter of
April 7th.
The public has waited, and waited m vain, I
for the voice of indignant denial to be raised
by these gentlemen. If silence gives con
sent, then the statements made to the report- i
er are admitted to be true, and an important '
branch of the trade of Savannah is branded
with serious indictments.
1 claimed in my last that there can be no |
commerce without confidence, aad no conti- ;
deuce without honesty. I now go fur:her, '
and emphatically declare that every citizen i
of Savannah, no ma ter how high or how I
1 iw his station, lies a stake in the issue of the ,
charges preferred—and more especia ly so
the prop rty holders.
Are these charges, sir, of so feathery » I
haracter that we can afford to pass them I
by wi h a pooh, pooh, a grin of derision, or i
a laugh of conlemp'. Have we become so !
“familiar with the face” of vice, that we j
have alraadv passed through the stages of
"ndurii g, pitying and embracing? If not, I'
what is il:e meanin” of “Horner” when he
can affnd to say b. Idly in the columns of a
daily paper, “For one 1 intend lo do busi I
ness after my own fashion, without asking ;
leave t.f the Board of Trade or the old lo- i'
gies.” And what is his fashion, and who are
the old f gies?L“t him answer these qnes ions i
n his own words: “I consign,” he says, “1,000
b irrels of M resin to New York on my own I i
account, grade marks erased. I invoice it j
as N, and draw against it as N. It would 1i
probably pan out in New York I, K, M, N :;
and window’ glass, an average of M, where- : >
as, had I left in the grade marks and mide
an hi nest invoice 1 would befoitumte if 1
the out run was better than a erage I ”
Another dealer explains the “lashi ,n” I I
still more lucidly. “There is a knack in |;
horning,” he says, “and it requires judg >
ment as w<D as skiD to do it successfully. ■
For in- lance, the inspection mark need not
be erased at all, but say you have a K
marked on the barrel and you want I—one I
grade up—ail you have to doissimiD to
mark A on the first or left hand side of the
K, and the words & Co. to the right, and the I
letter M underneath; or, if you have an N
which you intend for a window glass, the
way tn fix it is verv simple. All you have
t > do is just to prefix a horizontal stroke lo j
the.N, making it W.”
And “this is the way to fix ill’ Sup
posing this dealer’s clerk were to be sent to
bank with a check for SSO and on e way
he sdded a c pher, making it SSOO, s-n-1
changed the “fifty” into “five hundred” by
the same process that the N was made W—
by a horizontal stroke—and, coolly drawing i
that amount, put the $450 into his own I'
pocket, couli this dealer, with con-isiency. i
p oseente his clerk and send him' to jail ? 11
coujd the pot accuse the kettle of being , I
black? The clerk has simply forgotten that 11
he is paid to practice forgery for his em- j
ployer, and not for himself.
gg“H rner” claims, apparently, that he has , i
a right “to do what he will with 1 i< own” >
in spite of the Board of Trade, and alter the : i
pa: tern he has set before himself—the boss j
amongst knaves—he desires to know what '
the Board is “going to do about it”
Tjie property holders of Savannah are i ‘
deeply concerned in this matter. The value :
of their property must be depreciated by any j :
damage or hurt that befalls the commerce of I
their city. The. people of Georgia are con- ■ i
cerned to uphold the character of their me- ■
tropolis against charges of commercial dis- i
honor. Mr. John R. Tolar, Chairman of the ,
Committee of the New York Naval Stores !
and Tobacco Exchange, pronounces “Horn
er’s” letter “a rather peculiar defence of
fraud.” The utterances of the dealers, as
published, are no better. It remains for i
Savannah to say what “she is going to do
about it.” ' Non Liquet.

Injuries to the Crops and War News

the Future.
Special Dispatch to tbe Daily Tinies.
Chicago, April 13. —The past week on
’Charge has betn full of surprises. The
sentiment of the wheat pit had gradually
changed over Sunday aid the crowd, from
being violent bears on heavy stocks, had
| become bullish on low prices. They all j
wanted io buy, ard for once they ell were
1 ight. The week’s decrease in the visible '
- supply, although but little over half a
I mil ion bushels, was considered encouraging ■
uy hi 1 ers. Reports of a badly damaged '
1 winter wheat crop and a largely decreased I
acreage of spring sewn grain came in as
-teadily as before, but wha; was more to the
I purpose, operators began to believe
ihem. Hence there was a healthy firming
I up all around ai d numerous outsider orders
I were attracted in. Tbe trading of the early
days, however, although active, was very
; ame as compared with the excitement
which devil ped when cables announced a
cotnmincement of hostilities by the Rus
sians and that war was inevitable. Never
in tbe history of the Board has the fluor of
-he Exchange presented a scene of wilder
> xcitement. Operators tumbled over each
other in their mad rush to buy everything
in sight.
Tbe surging mass of sweltering humanity
kept up such a yelling and pushing and
pulling that it seemed next to impossible to
do anything. Values went up like a rocket
registering an advance of 5c in as many
minutes Country traders caught the fever
and rushed along their orders. Even the
eldest bears like E dredge, Jones and
Hobbs were thrown into a panic, and the
demoralization of the little “aborts” w is be
yond description. Margins were freely
call id and bank accounts suflered badly.
Kent, who has been loading up for the past
three weeks, stood about cheerfully watch- :
ng the uneapected rise and taking his pro- I
tits rear the top. Only once before was I
anything app r < aching such a turmoil wit
nessed, and that was directly after the formal '
declaration of war between Frauce and |
Prussia.
What the near future of the market will !
be it is useless to try to predict. In the |
event of a continued war abroad, the sup- j
plies in this country which new look so !
large, will doubtless melt away with great I
rapidity and the limit to which prices may
rise cannot be set. AU agree there is noth
ing in the new crops on whioh to base a
bear feeling, and if the surplus now on hand
can be disposed of there seems reason to
iitlieve that the old scale by which wheat at
a dollar was considered par may be restored.
Manifestly “s »ort” st les are dangerous as
it is claimed by many conservative men
that quotations are yet no higher than is
warranted by the home situation. Still to
give the names of those who are heavily |
“long” it would be necessary to publish tbe
entire membership of the Board and sud
den peace news may cause a panic among
hollers In any case sharp and reverse
fluclui tions can be counted on.
Although the movement w r as slower, the
war fever struck the corn dealers with con
siderable force. There were not “short”
lines enough out to cause any sueb mad
scramble to gel ashore as was witnessed in
the wheat pit, but the market was very firm.
Corn is more stable and the trade is in a
more healthy condition than that of wheat.
There has, too, been a decided increase in
the amount of business transacted in it dur
ing the past few days, and the statistical
position is certainly strong. Lester has been
a heavy buyer.
Provisions followed grain in the upward
march, notwithstanding the liberal sales of
Armour and other packers, who evidently
were not prepared for an advance just yet.
“Shorts” were the principal buyers. The
cash demand for produce is picking up fast,
now that Lent is over, but receipts of hogs
continue large.

green stuff shows but slight changes over
last week’s quotations. The demand for
Florida oranges is limited and sales very

which will realize quotations. Cabbage is
coming in more freely and has to be very
choice to bring $4 per barrel. Crates do
not sell as well as barrels, as stock dries and
wilts more and does not present so fresh an

oorn streets commenced to-day the erection
i tit the fence about the enclosure and will
have it completed by the middle of the week.
The grand stand will be erected in a few days
and the diamond arranged so that practice
games may be commenced at once. The ap
pearance of Smith, Graves, Fisher, Murray
and Burke,the new members already engaged,
create favorable impressions and great ex
pectations are based on them. Ingraham
; , itcher, Kruzr and Builer fielders, late of
j th" Exposition nine are already engaged
. .md will come from Ntw Orleans to morrow
! night. These men have made tine records
in the history of base ball and are now in
I prime condition. Tney will be met by the
managers who will have arrangements
j m»de for them.
The managers are in communication with
a change battery from Chicago and Bridge
port, Conn, to alternate with Smith and
Graves, which, il accepted will consummate
the plans and complete the nine. The base
ball loving people of the city are enthusiastic
over the new organization, and give promise
of extending a liberal supjiort. All the stock
in the nine is taken as fast as issued or of
fered. and the chances are favorable for hav
ing a series of games in the national pastime
such as was never witnessed in this city
before. With clubs in Savannah, Atlanta,
Columbus, Macon and Augusta, composed of
the material that has been engaged at great
expense, the opportunities are favorable
for the enjoyment of fine games. Georgia
has some exceptionally good clubs, and
although the Savannah club is not yet in the
league it is confidently expected that it will
be, and that it will be a credit to its support
ers and adherents. If the nine arrives on
time there may be an opportunity of witness
ing a game with the Atlantan, on the 18th
inst., at which time the latter club has an
open date.
