A PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
The Movement to Inaugurate General
Board.

a movement is being promoted among
the members of the Naval Stores Ex-
change and others leading to the inaugu-
ration of a General Produce Exchange.
There is a very apparent need Of such an
institution in Savannah, and the move
ment is meeting with satisfactory encour-
agement and support.
The method of effecting the plan was
discussed at a meeting Of the managers OF
the Naval Stores Exchange on w ednes-
dav, and an amendment TO the rules was
submitted and adopted providing for re-
duction Of the present shares rom S1oo 70
$50. with the view to increasing the meIn-
bership from 70 to 100, after this member
ship is reached the shares 10 remain at
the original cost Of 800.
II is the design of those interested in
the movement 10 incorporate the timber
and rice interests. and probably the pro-
vision stores, and thus cover the entire
produce field.
A committee consisting Of Mr.. 5. p.
Shotter, Chairman, and Messrs. j. p.
williams. C. H. MOrel, W. b. Stillwell
and J. W. Moore were appointed to solicit
members.
A special meeting of the Exchange was
held at the Exchange Room at O'CLOCK
Yesterday afternoon to receive the report
Of the committee. Mr.. ;. 7. Shotter,
Chairman, presented the report, showing
that instead of % they had received IS
applications for membership, and that
some provision would have to be made
so as to allow the excess of members to
come in under the new rules. The report
of the committee was received ana
after many motions and considerable
discussion il was decided to receive all
the applications, and in the case of those
coming under the 800 clause that $50 be
RENTED to them. so as to place all the
new members on the same footing.
The proposition to enlarge the scope OF
the Exchange. which is in reality only
carrying out the plan under which it was
originally formed, and make it a general
exchange, is meeting with great favor.

FROM THE OLD WORLD.

IRON me great AONOOh kEHg.J A@'e''
Among the many specifics introduced to the
public for the cure OF dyspepsia, indigestion,
arrangements of various kinds, and as gen.
eral family medicine, none have met with
such genuine appreciation as Hop Bitters.
Introduced to this country but compare
lively short time since, to meet the great de-
mand for a pure, safe and perfect family
medicine, they have rapidly increased IN IA
vor. until they are, without question, the
most popular and valuable medicine known.
Its worldwide renown is not due to the ad-
vertisingi it has received; it is famous by reason
sinherent virtues. 1t does all that isclalneo
for it. 1t discharges its curative powers
without any of the evil effects OF other oltters
or medicine, being perfectly safe and harm :
less for the most fral woman, smallest chllo
and weakest invalid to use. Few are the
homes indeed where the great discovery mas
not already been hailed as deliverer ana
welcomed as a friend, 1t does what others
affect to do. Composed of simple materials, II
is marvel of delicate and successful comDl-
nation. Nothing is wanting. Every ingre-
dent goes straight to the mark at which 1t is
aimed, and never fails. Pleasant to the pal
ate, agreeable to the stomach, and thoroughly
effective as a cure, it has won for itself the
confidence of all.-Tines, London, Eng.

viii be thrown open to the public at
nine O'Clock to-day, for the first time since
it was partially destroyed by fire in De-
cember last. No pains or expense have
been spared to make this the finest estab-
lishment of its kind in the United States.
The scenery and accessories were made to
order from special designs by "Seavy,"
of New York, and the decorations by
Butler, of Savannah. The Photographic
instruments were selected by Mr.. Ravens
in New York, and are the most expensive
and perfect in finis h of any ever brought
to America. The skylight has been con-
structed under the personal supervision
of Mr.. Ravens, and is the only light of its
kind in the United States, and a
model in itself of perfect lighting,
producing effects not to be obtained by
any other light. This light contains over
25O feet of French ground glass, and is
constructed on a principle never before
seen here and well worth looking at. The
Reception Room has been remodeled and
frescOed in the highest style of art, and
filled with the choicest of engravings and
works of art, which the lovers of the beau
tiful cannot fail to appreciate. Thanking
the public for their very liberal patronage
for the past ten years, remain, yours,
respectfully,

The exchange Of eggs between friends
ON Easter day, as token Of love or friend
ship, is a very ancient custom, dating
back almost to the food, for it is a symbol
Of the ark, as we'll as of the resurrection,
which is the reason that we present at
Easter. 1t is a very universal custom
prevailing among different nations and re-
ligiOns. The Jews placed eggs on their
Passover tables, the Druids used them in
their ceremonies, and the Persians fire.
quently gave them as New Years gifts.
III YOU should happen to be in Russia this
month. a Russian would greet YOU on
Easter morning with "Christ is risen,"
and offer you an Easter egg; and stranger
still. If YOU were in the far East, a Mo
hammedan would do the same thing.

SIR-Having suffered from extreme ner-
Uous debility for four gears, and having tried
all kinds of medicine and change of scene and
air without deriving any benefit whatever,
was persuaded by a friend to try Hop Bitters,
and the effect, am happy to say, was most
marvellous. Under these circumstances
feel it my duty to give this testimonial for the
benefit of others, as / may say l am now en-
tirely well; therefore / can justly and with
confidence give personal testimony to any one
wishing to call upon me. Yours truly.

The greatest comfort in old age is the
memory of well spent life. That's very
good as far as it goes, but most people
prefer bank account and a good suit of
clothes from 'EIhe Famous 1t is a great
comfort to know that any man or boy who
buys three suits of clothes from the we'll
known sFdmOus'' New York Clothing
House will save enough on them to pur-
chase the fourth suit. Call and see the

Yesterday Mornings BIaze-The Insul
ance in Detail.

ance in Detail.
The ruins Of yesterday mornings fire
smOuldered through the day, but there
was no outbreak of the flames. Every
thing had burned except the bricks. The
firemen were kept on duty all night, and
the ruins were flooded. The skeleton of
one horse was found partly buried under
the debris. All the others were secured.
The building was insured for the
estate OF Padelford for $1,000, $4,000 in
the Home Insurance Company, of New
York. represented by Mr.. r. III. FOOtman,
and $1,000 in the Southern Mutual, OF
Athens. represented by Mr.. L. III. Harden.
The insurance on the stock owned by Mr..
Harmon amounted TO $3.50, in policies
written by J. +. Wheaton & CO., as fol-
lows: 800 on feed, in the Westminster
Fire Insurance Company, of New York :
$4,000 on twenty-three horses, in the
WatertOwn Fire Insurance Company, of
New York; and $3.50 on vehicles, har-
ness. etc, in the Williamsburg City Fire
Company.
There were several losses by parties
who had property temporarily stored in
the building. Mr. f. J. AcOsta lost a
heavy truck, city wagon and buggy and
harness, valued at 5000. This property
was insured for 81 1000 in the PheniX Com
pany. Henry SOlOmOnS & Son lost Jour
sets OF harness and a new buggy, valued
at $3.50; no insurance. Epstein & Berger
also lost a new buggy valued at $l25, up
on which there was no insurance.
The principal loss to Mr.. Harmon is in
the location and the temporary delay to
business. He has, however, opened new
stables on New street, and will continue
the livery as usual. Men were employed
yesterday in gathering in the horses, some
u 4 H. I. . TNf.a

A New weather Code-signals for Inte-

riOr Towns.
A gentleman connected with the United
States Signal Service for the past twelve
years has just published a code of signals,
a simple combination of numbers, bells,
whistles, flags, rockets, ETC., by means Of
which weather signals can easily be dis
played. At small expense, it is claimed,
the people in small towns and villages can,
through this code, receive notice when
warm or cold waves are approaching and
destructive storms are probable. 1t may
also be carried into effect for the benefit Of
the public on steamboats, and railways.
The code is Intended entirely for local
use. The general weather indications to
be signalized are to be taken from the
regular Signal Service reports which are
displayed in post offices, railroad stations,
telegraph offices, and published in nearly
every daily newspaper in the country. AS
a large class of people interested in the
weather predictions, by the very nature
of their calling, cannot visit these places,
nor obtain newspaper, new code has
been compiled for their use.
In the translation of the code certain
numbers, bells or whistles indicate the
character of the weather, whether clear
or fair weather, stormy weather, cloudy,
frost, floods, etc. A display of flags, balls,
lights or rockets, in combinations of col
Ors, answers the same purpose. For in
stance, in a code the numbers go" "3'
and ''4'' can be displayed on the outside
of steam cars, stage coaches and river
steamboats,; also, can be signalized by
the firing of cannon, tOlling of bell or
blowing of whistle. On flag poles, col
! Ored flags. "white.o .'red." ''blue," can
be used for signalling in daytime. At
night, cOlOred lights may be substituted.
Disks offer another medium for signaliz-
/ ing. Rockets can also be used.
Should passing train display the num-
/ bers so ," it would signify that "a cold
wave is approaching" If a designated
bell should toll, 81 and g." eight RAIN is
| probable. If a passing steamboat should
/ have up ''2 2, dangerous floods" would
| he the translation, or, if the steamer used
| flags, and they read ''white, white, white, -
! ''killing frost" is indicated.
The translation of the signals is indi-
Gated on a card, and can be distributed
through the country or posted in cOnspic-
uOus places.

Survey of the steamship TrOubador

Survey of the Steamship TrOubadOur.
The steamship City Of Columbus when
passing down the river on Thursday
evening, in front of the wharves of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway,
grounded in the channel and fOuled with
the British steamship TrOubadOur that
was being worked off the rise in
the channel by the tug Republic.
Both steamships had some of the
paint on their fOrequarter slightly
scratched by the impact, and the tug had
to assist the Columbus before the latter
could resume her voyage. About fifteen
minutes after the TrOubadOur was
lowed off and anchO:ed at Venus Point.
where she will to-day finish re-loading.
In this connection it is proper to state
that a board of survey, consisting of Major
James Stewart, representing "Lloyds,"
Captain McVicker Of the British ship
ArdmOre, and Captain Thomas III.
Laird of the Savannah Port Wardens,
was held on the TrOubadOur yes
terday morning. The board made
a thorough examination of the vessel, and
reported her slightly strained, but entirely
seawOrthy, and recommended that Cap
tain Box reload the portion of cargo that
had been lightered and proceed to sea.
