FROM ATLANTA. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE MEM PHIS BASE BALL NINE. No Further Developments Yet, the Com mittee Appointed to Investigate Not Having Reported—Passenger Rate War Between the Central and E. T., V. and G. Roads Discon tinued—The Sharpe Case A Club Fined for Sell ing Liquor on Sun day. 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 turned a verdict against English & Cokey for nine thousand dollars. Judge Clarke adjudged Capital City Club guilty of selling whisky on Sundays, and imposed on them a fine of fifty dollars. The club will take an appeal. AN INCREASE ALLOWED. The Action of the Railroad Commission. Upon the application of the railroad com panies for an increase of rates on classes C. D. aid F. to what they were previous to issue of circular 20, the Railroad Commis sion have allowed the applicants on in 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. Elberton Air Line. Hartwell. Liwreneeville. Roswell. Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern. 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 cejtf; new rate 33 cents; rate asked by the Railroads, 46 cents. New York Stock Market.

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. —Morning News. 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.

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 ton companies, $1,500.

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 I Georgia Railroad, for Savannah. Another boat containing Judge Adams and Solicitor I General Dußignon and Mr. J. J. Kirby, clerk for Mr. J. K. Clarke. The first boat 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. Suit for Damages. In yesterday’s Times was an account of the suit of D. Y. Dancy vs. The Mutual Gas Light Co., of Savannah, involving a claim of SIO,OOO for injuries sustained by the ex plosion of gas belonging to the latter. The case was ably argued and presented to the jury yesterday. At 11 o’clock that body agreed on a sealed verdict which was sub mited to the court tc-day at 10 o’clock. When it was opened it was found to con tain a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of [s7so. J. R. Saussy, Esq,‘represent ed tbe plaintiff and Messrs. Denmark & Adams appeared for the defendant. 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.
