The New Morse Compressor.

The new Morse cotton compressor is
claimed to be the most powerful in the
world. the largest size having a steam
cylinder ninety inches in diameter and
eight feet stroke of piston. 1t is built to
work I'D to eight cumulatiOns and to be
safe under a steam pressure of 12O
pounds to the square inch, which
gives the piston gross lifting power Of
over 5000 tons. and a net pressure Of
$500 tons. The lifting rods are ll12 TO y
inches in diameter, the pins and axles
Az to 10 inches. and the bearings u
inches long. The press is "a feet in
height from top of foundation
to top of cylinder, and is
all iron, except eight upright
wooden posts 1SX24 inches and 221I feet
long. The lower platen upon which the
bale rests weighs $4,000 pounds and the
beam against which the bale is pressed
$4,000 pounds. The COMPRISING of the
bale is done by one stroke of the piston,
made in two or three seconds, and Mr..
). b. Steers, the proprietor, claims that
1913 bales have been compressed in an
hour. The usual weight of bale is from
$50 to 500 pounds. The new Morse COM
pressor. Mr.. Steers claims, will reduce
the bales from a height of about four feet
to six or seven inches in height. lie adj
mits that the largest presses in Sa-
vannah do very superior work, but
still thinks the Morse press has never
been surpassed, and is better adapted to
the rough handling which press usually
gets in the country generally. A cut Of
this compressor is shown in another col
umn.

such was the exclamation of citizen
who has hunted all over the business por-
ton of the city for a store. He desired to
rent one for a friend who was anxious 10
open a stock Of goods here. The demands
Of trade have taken up nearly every avail
able room on the ground floor on Bay
street and on the intervening streets to
BrOughtOn. This is also true of some of
the streets running south from Bay to
Br0ughton. and is particularly true of
Whitaker. Bull and DraytOn, and to some
extent of AbercOrn. This latter street is
now coming into notice, and property
abUtting on it is increasing in value.

THE NEW ASSESSMENT.

The Temporary Assessors Ready TO ne
port al the Next Meeting Of Council
The Ola Assessment to be Reduced
Over Sc 100000.
The temporary board Of assessors, ap-
poiuted some time ago by the City Coun-
ell to revise the assessment returned by
the old board, viii probably be ready to
submit their report at the next meeting
Of the CITY Council on Wednesday night,
although there is still a great deal Of work
TO be done in order TO have the return
complete by that time.
The task has proven greater than some
Of the assessors expected, and II IS under
stood that if they had been allowed three
months they would not have had too
much time in which 10 make a return
that would give general satisfaction.
one Of the assessors stated to a NEWS
reporter yesterday that the assessne Hl
would probably be reduced over S2,OOO'OOV
from the sum which the former board re-.
turned as the taxable value OF the prop.
erty in the city.
Ono Of fba great difficulties which the
new board have had to contend with has
baen To ascertain the value OF each hold
er's share in property owned by number
nfparties. In some cases there are as many
as eight owners Of one lot. with one holder
owning the southeast one quarter and
another owning twO-eighths, perhaps, Of
the remainder. and so on. Hence to learn
the extent Of each share holders interest,
and to assess the value thereof so as to
make an equitable return, has been a very
tedious and delicate task, which has taken
much time to accomplish. The board has
encountered other embarrassments Of
greater or less significance. the nature OF
which are not known except TO It's mem
bers.
1t is stated that, as a general rule,
large and costly houses are assessed less
in proportion TO their cost tnan small
houses with ordinary finish, ana the
reason of this is that house which cost
81. 900 to erect can be Approximately
assessed at nearly the sum when was
expended in construction, especially as
such structures are not generally
elaborate in finish, whereas a resi-
dence which cost about Sl0,OOO 10
complete in accordance with the tastes or
wishes Of the owner, could not be sold Tor
such large sum and would only be OF
that value to the owner. Hence, as one OF
the assessors remarked yesterday, 1T
would not be fair to assess 1t at the sum
expended in its construction.
.,Tbere are also several WharYeS along
the river front which cost a great deal OF
money to build and which few years
AGO were yielding handsome income to
their owners. These wharves now, OWING
to the fact that the greater proportion OF
the shipping lies either above or below
the city. only return comparatively
small sum Of money annually. Therefore
we have based our assessments on the
earning capacity Of the property IN ques-
tom
The reporter endeavOred to ascertain
whether the percentage Of reduction
would be increased by the assessors, but
was informed that it was not proper to
make any public statement in anticipa-
ton of what the assessors might seeprOper
suggest to the Council.

The Reduction in Cotton Rates in Ten

The Reduction in Cotton Rates in Ten
nessee Does Not Influence This Mar
ket.
The reduction in cotton transportation
rates from Memphis East from 60 to 80
cents per hundred, caused some specula-
ton yesterday as to whether Savannah
would be in any way affected.
The reduction was ordered by Commits
sioner Fink. as announced IN the MORN
ING NEWS, and was, 1t is said, OccasiOned
by the discovery that some of the roads in
the Southwest were cutting rates.
4 NEWS reporter called upon President
RaOul with the inquiry whether the Cen
trail could in any way be affected by the
reduction.
Not at ALL" replied Capt. RaOuI.
''The cotton from Memphis territoryfinds
an outlet through roads leading to the
North and East, and does not come to Sa-
vannah. Most of the cotton from that
territory goes to the spinners' market, and
good deal of it goes by water up the
Mississippi river.
40 you believe the former rates will
be restOredy'
Il do not know about that. The reduc-
ton was probably necessary, and the Com
missioner will exercise his judgment as
to whether it viii be maintained or
whether the old rates VIII be resumed"

COLLISION on THE CENTRAL.

Two Freight Trains Collide at Eden-A
CaboOse TeIescoped and q Locomotive
Damaged.
Yesterday morning about 1870 o'clock
an accident occurred at station No. on
the Central Railroad, which delayed the
through and local passenger trains about
two hours. and resulted in the telescOping
of two cars and considerable damage to
locomotive. The particulars relating to
the affair are reported as follows:
Two freight trains were approaching
this CITY. one within a short distance in
advance Of the other. The leading train
on its arrival at No. , stopped to enter
upon the switch or siding, when the rear
train came up, and before the engineer
could check its speed dashed into the
other. The last car Of the leading train
was furnished with a cabOOse, which two
Of the train hands had left when the train
stopped preparatory 10 entering the sid

car with the one Immediately

soon after. and the hands assisted
TO clear the wreck. Before the work
was completed, however, the through
and local passenger trains came up and
were detained. Luckily no one was in
jured on the cOlliding trains, but if the
two train hands of the advance freight had
not been on the track attending to the
switches, it is probable they would have
been crushed in the cabOOse. 1t is said
that the engineer Of the cOlliding lOcomo-
tive claims that the atmosphere was tOggy
and that he did not see that the train
ahead of him was at a standstII.
