RATES CIATION MEETS TODAY. The Southeastern Tariff association meets at Old Point Comfort, Va., today ami some the most import ant subjects that, have ever been before the association will <(ome up for discussion. Chief among these will be the situation as it re lates to the insurance of cotton. The committee appointed -some time ago to consider the cotton situation met two days in advance of the gen eral meeting ami have their report ready to submit when the whole hotly meets Thursday. For some years past the marine companies have been doing the hulk : f the cotton Insurance, towing to their ability to offer larger induce ments to the owners of the staple, and it is for that reason that the meeting at Old Point will take up this matter especially. The regular stock fire companies can only insure cotton when it lias feaclied the ship upon which it is to to lie sent to other points or abroad', and this limitation confines their work to a very small portion of the cotton insurance business. On the other hand, the marine com panies can insure from the time the cotton bale leaves the gin right at liie farm house door, to the time it is landed in Liverpool, or wherever eiso it may be shipped to, and it also includes insurance against what is technically known as “farm loss," and damage any other kind. The stock companies are confined to insure against fire alone, even after the cot ton has oeen placed on the ship, while the marine companies are allowed great latitude and can insure against almost anything that happen to the article. This difference is the two classes of companies on the south’s principal product lias caused considerable loss to the companies of the Southeastern Tariff association, and every effort will be made at the meeting this year to provde a remedy for the trouble.

DAY DEVOTED TO IDE TRIAL Suit Against the Hilton-Dodge Lum ber Company is Attract ing Attention of Court. The case of Ingram, vs. the Hil ton-Dodge Lumber company occupied the entire day in Glynn sttp/orior court yesterday, and has not yet been fin ished. The case is one of those knot ty problems, involving a ma.r-s of tes timony, anil is being stubbornly fought, by the attorneys in the matter. 11l August, 1594, the plaintiff, at that time an employee in the mills of Hie defendant company, at St. Simon, was hurt by some of the machinery of tho mill which he claims was due to tho carelessness of Hut mnvpan(p in nfol pro viding the proper implements etc., necessary to do the work. For this in jury, which, it is alleged so seri ous it; its nature that the plaintiff has, since that time, been almost un able to earn a living for himself and family. All of these facts arc flatly denied by the defendants, who claim that Ihe accident was duo solely to the carelessness of the plaintiff, who is, and was at that time incompe tent. Messrs. W. E. Kay and V/ nmi —■ _ —..uut ung trie' case for the defendants and D. W. Krauss and W. ‘ffafnTilT' The fir: t witness called for the plaintiff was Prince Arnold, a former employee of the company, who proved to be a rather intelligent negro and told a very straight story. Arnold thought the accident was in no wise the fault of the plaintiff and blamed tbe defendants for it. He was famil iar with the workings of the mill, and though severely cross-questioned by Congressman Brantley, he did net swerve an inch from iiis testimony on the direct. J. M. Harris was the next wit ness, but his testimony was not very <nate>ia|. The evidence ot Messrs. W. M. Baker and A W. Corker de livered at the previous trial of the case was, by con-out, introduced, liotli of these witnesses being out of the city. Latet in the day the plaintiff was put on the stand and in a very im pressive manner he told of the acci dent, how il occurred and its results. He was severely crossed questioned by counsel for tho defendants. During the afternoon the evidence for the defendants was introduced and it was iu striking contrast to that, offered in the forenoon. Several wit nesses were examined and all of them were of the opinion that the cause of the accident was purely with the plaintiff. The work of taking testimony is not yet finished and it is moie than likely that the trial ot the case will consume all of taday. GEORGIA LUMBER NOTES Interesting Items From the American Lumberman.
