FROM ST. LOUIS To
SAVANNAH.
A Special Train of Twenty-Five
Hundred Barrels of PlOur-The
Enterprise of a Savannah House.

As an evidence of enterprise and pro
gressiveness, which is creditable 10 the
mercantile reputation of Savannah, we may
mention that Mr.. S. GuckenheImer, of the
well known and extensive wholesale
house of Messrs. S. Guckenheimer &
Son, who is now out West on business, tele-
graphed the firm yesterday afternoon that
ne had Just purchased twenty five hundred
barrels OF -four in st. Louis, IN addition to
his purchases in other markets, and was
perfecting arrangements TO send It through
By a special train to Savannah direct. To
haul this immense shipment will require
twenty cars containing one hundred and
twenty-five barrels each, and # will be the
largest unbroken shipment of -four
ever received by Southern
firm. II will be remembered that In August
last year Mr.. Guckenheimer made a similar
purchase, but in consequence Of the freight
blockade in the West It was found necessary
to break the train. There is no such diff
Guilty now. The roads are all open, and the
shipment will come through direct and 10
quick time. Notice will be given Of the
dsy the train will leave St. Louis
and of IT'S arrival 10 this city. During the
past thirty days the -four market has been
very active, and prices OF all grades have
advanced considerably. This purchase has
been made on a rising market, and the ex-
tensiveness Of the transaction attests the
great facilities and capabilities Of the firm
This shipment will be followed by another
equally as large later, and the trade ia the
section tributary to Savannah may be as
sured that they will always find ample stock

IKE MORNING NEWS TRADE
EDITION.
Mammoth Issue on September Sd.
1881.

The past year has been unprecedented In
the history Of our city. Her general bust
ness, which has heretofore languished in
the summer months, has continued through
the entire year. Nearly 100000 bales OF
cotton have been received at this port dur
ing the season just closed, and we have
every reason to expect that these figures
VIII be increased during the coming year to
over 1,OOO,O 900. A like large increase in
receipts has taken place In naval stores,
rice and timber, and other principal pro-
ducts. This improvement in trade has
affected all interests, and our merchants,
mechanics, and business men generally,
have been benefited by IT. With such a
retrospect we may confidently predict 8
prosperous fall and winter trade.
Tie annual review of the markets for the
commercial year will be Issued on Sstur-
day, September Sd, and we propose to make
this edition q special feature, the same as
was done last year, and which met with such
q decided support from our enterprising
merchants. The review will be presented
and in size and make up will surpass any
thing Of the kind which has ever been pub
liAhed in the cotton growing States.
1t viii comprise summary OF
the business of the city during the
previous twelve months, including it's mer-
camille interests in all their various branches,
and also resume of its shipping and COM
mercial news for that period. This issue Of
the MORNING News viii be one which every
citizen, whether business man or not, will
take pride in sending abroad as an evidence
Of the prosperity of his city and section in
which he lives, and viii give TO those who
have never before examined into the matter
a proper appreciation Of savannah's impor-
lance as the commercial emporium Of the
two most progressive States 10 the Southern
section Of the American Union.
The Trade Issue of the MORNING NEWS,
in addition to being sent to all the daily
subscribers by carrier and mail, will be
mailed to every subscriber to the TRI-
WEEKLY NEWS, the WEEKLY NEWS and

gate circulation of 10000 to $1,000 copies

iects, and who represent the purchasing
interest Of their localities.
This edition will thus find its way into
every household in the immense area Of
country directly tributary to Savannah, and
at time when the people have means to
purchase and are buying supplies for the
fall and winter, and when an advertisement
will have the effect Of direct communica-
ton from the merchant to the buyer.

The efficiency and discipline of our police
force has long been the pride Of this com
munity, and the efforts of the commanding
officers have ever been directed to maintain
ing It. AS a general thing no serious breaches
Of discipline occur, but when they do, Sc
we're punishment is melted out to the Of
fender.
Yesterday morning an instance OF this
kind occurred, the particulars Of which are
these: As may be recollected, mention was
made IN the News last week Of serious
charges teing preferred against a police
man, who ranked among the best on the
force. A disturbance In a house In the
eastern section of the city and the arrest of
a man and woman for fighting about q
watch. resulted in the discovery that the
time piece belonged to this policeman, who
was in the said house sleeping off the eff
fects Of too strong pOtations. Sergeant
Harvey was detailed to go to the place and
bring him to the barracks. When he
made known his mission, the policeman got
up and dressed himself and came into the
street, when Sergt. Harvey told him ne was
sent by Lieut.. Howard to bring him to the
barracks. The policeman made feint Of
going, and then suddenly attempted to
throw Sergeant Harvey. A struggle eI-
tucu5 anu dcolnlauCc VI OtucI OAuCcIo WAS
called, but the policeman, (who on one &C.
casIon had successfully whipped out six
sailors and carried them TO the barracks,)
was q hard fellow to tackle, and
rendered the situation rather lively.
While the struggle was going on
Lieutenant Howard appeared on the
scene, when the policeman quieted
down and accompanied him to the
barracks. Bis Offense is a very aggravated
one, but In view OF his reputation and gen
eral conduct, there not being a scratch
against him for several years, we omit his
name. a thorough examination was had
in the matter yesterday morning, after
which the Mayor imposed a fine Of $50
upon him, restricted him to the limits Of
the barracks for sixty days. and ordered
suspension Of his pay from the time the
offense was committed until the expiration
of HIS sentence. This may seem severe, but
the circumstances warranted It, and there is
no doubt that his good reputation and
known efficiency alone saved him from be-
ing discharged from the force. II is to be
hoped that this experience will prove salu-
tarY, and that his future conduct will ex-
plate the Offeuse

under the following circumstances: Adams

denly came out Of the hOdse. One Of the
men had his gun IN position 10 IRE, when

The Back Doors Must be closed Up
a. Wen as tias Front.

There has been considerable feeling
aroused Of late In regard to the very gen.
erzl disregard Of ordinances relating to the
proper observance Of Sunday, and the sub
Jet has been very freely discussed in
the columns Of the MORNING NEWS and
Sunday Telegram. The sentiment OF
At least the respectable portion Of the
community Is decidedly in favor Of the
closing Of all saloons on Sunday, and many
Of the keepers themselves, IT is stated, have
expressed willingness to conform to the
ordinance, and g wish to see Ii ngidlY en-
forced, but think they would iniure their
business by closing when their competitors
or rivals keep open. We understand that
the Mayor has issued strict orders TO the
police force to vigorously and impartiallY
enforce the ordinance and to report all
places found open on Sunday and all viola
tors. The ordinance has been on the statute
books Of the city since 1854, but has been,
as every one knows, f'more honored in the
breach than in the Observance" IL Is now
determined to inaugurate 8 reform and
compel 8 compliance with the laws, and on
Sunday next active steps will be taken to
that end. As Of interest, and that all may
be thoroughly informed as 70 the ordinance,
we publish the the following sections:
Sec. u. Every person who shall hereafter
keep within the city Of Savannah, or its ex-
tended iuTisdictional limits, shop, store,
bsrroom, tavern, oyster house or cellar,
confectionery, eating house, porter, ale or
beer house, shall, on every Saturday night
Ct twelve O'Clock, close and keep shut the
door or doors and window or windows OF
such shop, store, barroom, bar in or attached
to 8 tavern, oyster house or cellar, confec-
tionerY, eating house, porter, ale or beer
house until the hour Of twelve O'Clock Sun
Day night.
SEC. ID. No person, whatsoever, shall ex-
change, barter, sell, or offer, or expose for
sale after twelve O'Clock on every Saturday
night, and until twelve O'Clock Sunday
night, any goods, wares, merchandise,
fruits, herbs, malt, vinous or spirituous IL
Quors, or any other strong drink, or suy
other thing whatsoever, except medicine,
ice and milk.
The penalty for violation, in event Of con-
viction before the Police Court, is not less
than twenty dollars or more than one hun

A Savannah Scientist Achieving

On the closing day of the recent session
OF the Scientific Association at Cincinnati
Gan Improved sOnOmeter" was the title Of
q paper by Professor W. LeConte Stevens,
formerly OF Savannah but now Of New
York. Professor Stevens presented the out
come Of ideas suggested by his experience
IN the class room. The GGzstte says: "He
did not claim the discovery OF any new
principle, but the invention of a new method
In the application Of an old one. He ex-
hiblted a very carefully prepared diagram,
showing his use Of an ordinary organ pipe
with one side made Of thin spruce, on which
he has worked the proper scales, and on the
top Of which be stretched musical strings
with a movable bridge. To one end he
attached a rubber tube with glass mouth
piece. The embOuchure on the side Of the
organ pipe he covered with slidiug glass
plate, BY gauging which he could produce
every note of the harmonic series. This
paper was received with much applause"
