MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE.
Proceedings Instituted Against the
Brush Electric Light and Power Com


Proceedings Instituted Against the
Brush Electric Light and Power Com
pany.
A proceeding for foreclosure of a mort
gage given on the 18th of April, 1888, by
the Brush Electric Light and Power Com
pany of Savannah to the Brush Electric
Association of St. LOUIS, Mo-, for the sum
Of $14,799 "a, was instituted in the Supe-
rior Court on Tuesday by Messrs. Gar
rard & Meldrim. representing the
latter organization. The proceeding for
foreclosure is to recover the above
amount, made payable in three INSTALL
ments on notes given tor
sixty and ninety days, and four
months after date Of the execution
of the mortgage. A levy was made by
the Sheriff Tuesday evening on the ma
chinery Of the Savannah company, ana
yesterday Mr.. J. r. Saussy, representing
the defendants, gave notice tnat tney
would give repleyy bond, and hle an
probably be filed to-day, and the case
heard during the next December term OF
the Superior Court.
1t is stated that the cause Of the Brush
Electric Company Of this city refusing 10
pay their notes. is that they claim that
the parent company nave not kept thelr
contract: and further, that It's agent
made misrepresentation to the Savannah
company in regard to the light, stating
that six towers with four lights each
would be sufficient to light this city,
when it has taken fourteen towers, be-
sides twenty mast lights to do 1t. The
parent company has also refused or
neglected to send an expert TO examine
into the cause of the effectiveness of
some of the lamps. The Savannah Com
pany have. besides giving the. parent
company $4,000 worth of the stock for
the right to use their patents, have also
under their contract had to buy all
machinery and other material from them,
and though the charges for the same We're
the most extravagant that could be
imagined, they have refused to furnish
any more, though they were offered per-
sonal security for their bills.
The suit will not interfere with the
working of the Electric Light Company,
as they have ample material to work with,
and can obtain supplies from other COM

An Unfortunate Individual.

Last night an unfortunate individual,
bearing the characteristics Of gen
teel tramp, was walking about the
streets IN an aimless and absent-minded
manner. He was civil and courteous III
his address, and bore the evidence
of culture and refinement. He
gave bis name as Henry Wyers,
and said he was 4 native Of Kentucky
He applied at the Pulaski House for some
thing to eat late at night, and was given
some lunch by the courteous chief clerk.
He did not look like man addicted TO
drink, but bore the evidence of
mental suffering. When questioned
as to what he intended doing, ne replied,
Il am on my way West to see my chill
dren, whom ] have not laid my eyes upon
for nearly i've years. / have been better

pointment have brought me to this state.
Six years ago / was well-to-dO, and my

trouble made me the bitter slave to cir
cumstaEces that you now see me-"
After eating his lunch he raised his hat
with thanks to the clerk, and departed
in a 0uiet and respectful manner.

An Incipient Fire.

About 1880 O'Clock this morning an
alarm Of fire was sounded from signal box

streets. The department turned out, and
the fire was located IN an unoccupied
frame tenement. No. "a State

flames eXtinguished before gaining
any Roadway, The damage was
slight. The ire was evidently the
work Of inCendiaries, as paper saturated
with kerosene was found stuffed liz the

early last June, and which was at that
time believed to have been of incendiary
origin.

a Storm Developing on the Florida
Coast-Warning from the Chief Signal

The wind yesterday was quite variable
in this vicinity, and veered from point to
point Of the compass. During the fore
noon quite a heavy shower Of rain
fell, and for some time there
were indications Of a pr0tracted storm

noon the clouds broke and the remainder
Of the day was cool and pleasant. The
appearance of the sunset was ominOus,
however, and dark masses Of clouds were
observed in the West, with others moving
in that direction. Last evening Mr..
Ford, the Signal officer in charge of the
station here, received the following dis
patch:

tions that 2 storm is developing east Of

Of 1881, though the first intimation
Of the storm was then given
by the Chief Signal Office
at least five days before the gale was felt
here. This storm may shift around into
the Gulf of Mexico and follow the Mssis-

follow the Gulf stream to the northeast.
