Captured On His Arrival at New York.
Queenstown, May 29. —The steamship
Jfevada, from New York, May 19, lor this
port and Liverpool, arrived here to day.

he charged with absconding with
$50,000 of the firm’s money.
When the vessel entered the harbor,
she was as once boarded by Mr.
Koch who soon found the absconders.
Marsh was somewhat surprised when he
found himself confronted by Mr. Koch. He
at once acknowledged his identity and
begged forgiveness. When asked what he
had done with the money he stated that he
had it with him. At his request Mr. Koch
accompanied him to his statesroom where
he handed over the stolen funds. After a
short conference Mr. Koch and the detec
tives decided to proceed to Liverpool with

o’clock this morning fire was discovered in
a lumber yard belonging to Studebaker
Bros., wagon manufacturers. The yard
covered two blocks and contained 4,000 000
feet of lumber. A high wind was blowing,
and at last accounts the whole yard seemed
sure of destruction, and it was feared that a
number of adjacent dwellings would be also
burned. Great exertions were being made to
prevent the spread es the flames, but the
high wind made the situation desperate and
people had to move out of their houses. It
is roughly estimated that the Studebaker’s
loss will reach SBO,OOO.

Special Dispatch to the Dally Times.
Atlanta, May 29.—At the meeting of
the Directors of the Southern Leauge at the
Kimball House yesterday, various charges
were preferred the Memphis Club,
accompanied with the request that they be
dismissed from the League. Council for the
Memphis directors denied the charge, and
offered evidence to substantiate his position.
The whole matter was finally referred to a
committee of three, consisting of Messrs.
Proudfit of Macon, Walter Brown of Atlanta,
and Frank Foster of Augusta. This com
mittee have not yet reported, and there
have been no further developments in the
case.
Receiver Fink, of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad, has written
to Capt. Raoul, of the Central, that he his
ordered Mr. Wrenn to stop his passenger
rate war between the two roads.
The jury in the George Sharpe case re

AN INCREASE ALLOWED.

crease as follows cn the classes mentioned :
For distance of fifty miles and under an
increase of 25 per cent.
For one hundred miles and over fifty, an
increase of 20 per cent.
For cne hundred and fifty miles and
over one hundred, 15 per cent.
For two hundred miles and over one
hundred and fifty, 10 per cent.
For two hundred and fifty miles and
over two hundred, 5 per cent.
For all distances beyond two hundred and
fifty miles no increase is allowed.
The above allowance is not as much as
the railroads asked for, but is such as the
commissioners thought just to all parties.
The following railroad companies hav
ing heretofore received an advance of 25
per eent. on classes C, D and F, by order of
the commissioners, are not included in
present action of the commission:
Louisville and Wadley.
Marietta and North Georgia.

The commission have had the matter un
der consideration for three days, and the
abore is the result of their deliberations.
The matter was an important one, and the
gen'lemen weighed every point carefully.
Cther minor questions were considered
duiing the session, which closed at noon. —
Atlanta Journal.
Ve understand that this action will be
satisfactory to the Savannah merchants, al
thcugh they would have been better satis
fied had tbe present rate been retained.
The bulk of Savannah’s [trade is
affected by the five and _ ten per
ceat advance. The rate for instance to
Thomasville on flour per barrel is now 30

LUDDEN & BATES’ SOUTHERN MUSIC
HOUSE.
Removal to Handsome New Quarters.
There are few establishments in the South
that have won such admiration for their en
terprise and energy as Ludden & Bates’
Southern Music House. Their career in
Savannah has been truly wonderful and gen
eral gratification was expressed upon the an
nouncement that early this fall they would
occupy handsome quarters in Altmayer’s
new block, now in course of construction.
The following little sketch of the past four
years of the history of this firm will be read
with interest:
VVhen the above house occupied in 1880
their present spacious building it then
seemed ample for their accommodation for
a lifetime, and they considered themselves
as anchored “never to move again,” but
they were mistaken. The two large stores
are not now large enough, and for the fifth
time since the inauguration of their business
in 1870, their increasing trade compels
them to seek more spacious quarters. This
time they mean to make no mistake, and to
this end have secured, under a long leise,
one half of the new Altmayer building now
being erected, corner of Bull and Broughton
streets, which will be, without exception,
the largest and finest business block in
Savannah.
Here they will establish themselves in
a magnificent Temple of Music, fitly cor
responding in size and style with the
magnitude and importance of their busi
ness. Their frontage on Broughton street
will be 50 feet, with a depth of 90 feet, four
stories and basement, giving them 22,500
square feet of floor space. The front of
the building will be entire of iron and
French plate glass, and very ornamental.
Upon the ground floor, 48 by 90 feet in size,
will be the elegant retail salesroom for
music and small instruments, together
with the general offices, which will be
fitted up in handsome style. This large
salesroom is 17 feet in height, anil across
the rear end there will be a galleiy
of graceful . design for the display of art
works, paintings, engravings, statuary,
bronzes, etc., which the house will im
port direct from Europe. They are going
extensively into this line of trade, and will
make their place a temple of art, as well as
of music. In the basement, which will be
high and dry, will be tbe wholesale depart
ment of imported Musical Instruments Band
Instruments and Automatic Instruments.
Elegant Piano and Organ Warerooms for
the display of 200 instruments will occupy
the second and third floors, and upon the
fourth floor will be the Tuning and Re-
I pairing Department and the home printing
office. Steam heaters, electric lights and
| bells,elevators, speaking tubes, etc, etc.,
will be.used throughout the entire build
ing.
The spaciousness of this building will en
able the house to extend its trade by ai
ding several new lines of goods and various
specialities, which can be handled to ad
vantage in connection with the music
trade. Who will occupy this building has
been the query ever since it was projected,
and the general feeling now seems to be one
of gratification that this v. ide awake and
popular house have secured it. Certainly
no house better deserves such a magnificent
home, or can better utilize it in extending
its business. In fact, it may be said that
the elegant building is an honor to the
house, and the house an honor to the build
ing, while both are an honor to Savannah.

A Race for SI,OOO.
Captain James J. Igoe, of the pilot boat
“I Go,” of this city, sent a friendly challenge
yesterday to the Captain of the Savannah
pilot boat “Neca” to sail his boat against the
“I Go” for SI,OOO a side. Should the chal
lenge be accepted the date of the race will
be fixed. The challenge provides that the
race shall be run over the same course that
the “Neca” and “Francis Elizabeth” ran
some time ago.—Charleston News and Cou
rier.
These are the same boats that sailed last
year on the coast for a heavy purse. The
race was won by the pilot boat Neca through
the superior sailing ‘qualities of Captain
Craig, of the latter boat. If the challenge
be accepted an interesting race may be ex
pected,
Swimming Match.
John Wynn, of this city, and Charles
Graham, of Charleston, are negotiating for a
swimming match to be contested at an early
day. The match will take place either at
Montgomery or in th® Savannah river. Gra
ham wants a two mile Swim, but Wynn will
not enter for less than foilr or five miles. He
will swim two miles against the tide at
Montgomery, or from the Boston Steamship
Wharf to the Fig Island Light House. He
says he is not afraid to swim a four mile
match against any swimmer. Wynn is the
well known diver.

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS
NEEDED AT THE FEDERAL CAPI
TAL
To Push the Removal of Offensive Parti
sans in Our Section—What ha< been
Eft'ected in Eastern, Middle and Wes
tern States—The Administration
Democratic, but Equally Use
ful in Accelerating Reforms.
Washington; May 26.—The fact that a
large majority of the changes being made in
the public service just now, and noticeably
in the Postoffice Department, are in the
Eastern, Middle and Northwestern States, is
to be attributed to the presence in town of a
large number of representative party men
from these sections of the country. They
make up, indeed, the bulk of the visitors
here, and are vigilant and industrious in
waiting upon the different Cabinet officers
and urging upon them the proper men for
the different places to be filled. These ef
forts are encouraged now by the newly
taken attitude of the administration, which
faces toward the Democracy with some
thing like good will in its aspect, and which
seems at last tc invite and reward sound
party counsel and assistance.
The South should at once take the hint.
Her representatives should have come on
without delay and press her claims to early
recognition. The discouragements that
for a time beset all efforts to have Re
publicans ousted from office and Demo
crats installed in their places have in
a large measure disappeared.
This is to be, by tbe unmistakableorder of
the people, a Democratic administration.
The vote of last fall has since been empha
sized by a warning that the result then or
dained should not be dissipated or thrown
away by timidity or trimming, and it is for
the representatives of the majority to step
up now and make known the wishes and
desires of their respective localities. Pre
sumably all of the eases will be reached in
time, but the presence on the scene here of
men speaking by authority will accelerate
the official speed and make the terms of Re
publicans now in office just that much
short. The wholesale changs now taking
place in Virginia and Indiana are the fruits
of a plucky and persistent fight made by the I
Democratic leaders in those States.
DESTRUCTION OF A STEAM LIGHTER. I
Total Loss —Insured for 835,000.
Last night between eleven and twelve
o’clock, Joe Mack who was with a
number of friends on the green, at the
head of the Gas House Hill, discovered a fire
on board the steam lighter, A. S. Lara, Capt.
Dave Myers, and at once gave the alarm.
Joe Black, the watchman for the
lighter was- on a house on the hill, and
at once sought tbe Captain, and with others
secured a boat, and proceeded acrcss the
river. The lighter was lying near the upper
jetties, opposite East Broad street, and when
the party reached there the vessel was en
veloped in flames. Despite their efforts, the
lighter was completely destroyed.
During the day there had been a
fire in tbe engine room, the men being en
gaged in pumping her out. At night, the
fires were banked and everything put in
proper order, and the crew came over to
this side. Tbe lighter belonged to Mr. F.
A. Einstein, of this city. It was insured for
$3,500 in the following companies: In the
Merchants, of Brooklyn, N. Y., $1,000; in
Rochester German, SI,OOO, and in Charles

TOSSED AT SE A.
The Troubles, Trial#, and Tribulations of
a Party of Savannah Lawyers
and Others.,
Oa Sunday list Judge Adams, Col. R. E.
Lester, Hon. P. W. Meldrim, Solicitor
General Dußignon, W. W. Mackall, Jr.,
Esq, W. W. Fraser, Esq., R. G. Erwin,
Esq., J. R. Saussy, Jr., Esq, Dr.R. B. Harris,
E. M. Green, Esq., and Hon. J. J. McDon
ough, left on the fast mail train for Bruns
wick. They reached this place in safety,and
then embarked on the steam launch Mis
chief, for Darien, at 3 o’clock in the after
noon. They steamed on pleasantly for a
; while, and the party, most of whom were
lawyers, bent on attending the Superior
Court of Mclntosh, had an enjoyable time,
joking, jesting, and in pleasantry. Suddenly
a squall came up and struck the little launch,
creating a temporary panic. The
gust was followed by eeveral others and the
little boat was in danger of being swamped
as the waves broke over her and threatened
each moment her speedy dissolution. The
navigators were then on St. Simon’s Sound,
out of sight of land with a heavy rain pour
ing down and the seas surging, boiling and
seething about and over them. Each face
a moment before wreathed in smile blanch
ed and lips that erst while seemed eloquent
of jibes, jests and song now were
closed and dumb. Each passenger
looked the other in the eye and spoke not,
each looked on the awful storm about
them and queried not, but all saw
that the chances of life and death
were in the balance evenly adjusted, and
they silently awaited. Presently thereafter
the storm subsided as suddenly as jt started-
The seas were calmed and the Mischief
steamed safely-into port. It is said that
some of the lawyers prayed audibly, and
that a more solemn looking crowd never
had their sins and weaknesses so near to
the surface as did this parly. The party
managed to recover their equanimity and
good cheer when Darien was reached, and
made light of the occasion, but again on
yesterday they were seriou'ly disturbed
both in mind and body. "When court ad
journed Colonel Lester, W. W. Fraser,
Esq., Mr. Meldrim and J. R. Sausiy,
Jr., Esq., left Darien in a
row boat Evelvn, so as to take a hack for
i No. 1, on the Eist Tennessee, Virginia and

was a heavy one and became stuck in a mud
bank on Three-Mile cut, and remained
there. A terrific storm came up and the par
ties were exposed to ill its relentless fury.
The sea again tessed them about and they
were in great danger of being sunk, while
the prospect of eitbei drowning or remain
ing in that mill bank all night, stared them
in the face. Finally they concluded to send
back to Darien for a small boat. Pres
ently the boat containing Judge Adams and
Solicitor General Dußigntn passed the
party in the very teeth of the storm, which
was then raging very violently. The boat
from Darien returned and the parties em
barked thereon, and after a long time,
reached Evelyn, but could find no traces of
the trio in the other boat. Nothing could be
learned of them at No. 1, E. T. V. & G.
Railroad, where the lawyers boarded the
cars, and grave apprehensions were enter
tained about the missing officers of the court.
This morning Judge Adams and Solicitor
Genera] Dußignon returned to Savannah,
and their friends were delighted to see that
they were all right. After parting with the
first boat at three mile cut, Buttermilk
Sound, they were in great danger of being
capsized, and preparations were made for a
long cruise in the rain and storm. The
skiff was a new one and was pulled by three
hearty negroes, who were secured by Mr.
Kirby. The occupants were drenched to
the skin, and fearing to go to Evelyn, they
went to Butler’s Island and there lost all
trace of the other party and gave rise to the
apprehension. At No. 1 a fire was built and
the clothing of the court officials dried and
their minds composed. They then Itoarded
a freight train and reached Savannah to-day.
The Court is recovering from the perils he
underwent by i esting and recuperating, while
the Solicitor General is before the Grand
Jury drawing presentments and concluding
the duties for the term.

Early Closing Movement;
The grocery establishments in the city,
with a view of giving their clerks and em
ployes an opportunity for enjoying their
evenings, have concluded to close their
places of business every night from June
Ist, except Saturday nights, at 7 o’clock,
ihis will be a grand boom for the clerks,
and will be of great moment to them. All
housekeepers should bear this in mind and
do their trading before 7 o’clock, it will
be of benefit to them, and partly assist the
overworked and overtaxed employes.
