THE WALKING MATCH OFF.
Wreford Bruises His Leg and With
drayEs from the Track.

The 5O-hour go-as-you-please walking
match between Davis and WrefOrd was
abruptly terminated yesterday morning
shortly after O'Clock by an accident to
WrefOrd. While running around the
track to overtake Davis, who was five
miles ahead, he slipped and fell against
one of the stakes, and bruised his leg
above the ankle. The injury, though not
serious, incapacitated him for continuing
the walk with any prospect of winning,
and, as Davis refused to proceed further
alone, the race was declared off.

AMONG THE TRUCK GROWERS.


The Gardens NOt Injured By the Rains
The Outlook for Good Crops.
The storm which visited the city and
surrounding country on Thursday night
does not appear to have done any serious
damage to the truck farms. A News re-
porter called on a number of the vege-
table growers yesterday and was informed
that the crops are in good condition, the
hail which accompanied the storm for
tunately not injuring any of the plants.
The prospects of a good yield OF the
different kinds of vegetables are as good
as they generally are at this season OF the
year. Notwithstanding the heavy rains OF
week before last.

The Manhattan Life Insurance Com


The Manhattan Life Insurance Com
pany.
The thirty-ffth annual report Of the
Manhattan Life Insurance Company.
which appears in another column Of this
paper, illustrates clearly two important
facts, already noted by careful observers
Of the course Of events in the business
world. One is steady growth. in times of
depression, Of the sound, well-managed
institutions in which the public have
confidence founded on experience: and
the other is the disposition to abandon
speculative and doubtful enterprises IN
favor OF the conservative and prudent in
yestment in insurance for the benefit of
families and friends. Despite the uni
Yersal dizziness Of business at large. the
new insurance of the Manhattan during
the past year has been unusually large.
and great part OF the increase has come
from persons of moderate means, who
make insurance a perm anent investment
The second generation Of the Manhattan's
record opens favOrably, and both old and
new patrons viii find ample cause Tor
satisfaction in the thirty-ffLh annual re-
port. The figures are plain, and speak
plainly. That they worthiIy sustain the
record and the standing of the Manhattan
is all that need be Sc a:i
Inc Manhattan new IOfm OF pOlC! IS /
extraordinarily liberal in its terms. 1t is
incontestahle, after five years for any er-
rors, omissions or misstatements in the
application, except IS to age. The sui
eide clause has been dropped, and losses
are now payable sixty days after receipt
of proofs, instead OF ninety days as for
merly.
The Manhattan is peculiarly entitled to
the favorable consideration Of our people.
1t has never Disseminated against our
section in rates or otherwise; its Savan-
nah losses have all been promptly met,
and it has never contested one here, and
it is, without exception, the only North
ern life insurance company which has
maintained an agency IN Savannah unin-
terruptedly since the close of the war.
1t came South 10 stay, and this fact should
be appreciated at its full value by those
uniortunates who have suffered the an
noyance and risk of renting their pre-.
miums to the head offices Of companies
which, after spasmOdic careers in Savan-
nab, have taken up their agencies and
gone home. On all accounts we cordially
commend the Manhattan as an institution
eminently deserving of confidence ard
patronage. Its Savannah agent is Capt.
r. II. FOOtman, who has represented it
ever since November. 1865.

DISSENSION AMONG THE COL
ORED MASONS.

Two Sets of Claimants for the Grand
Lodge Ofices-The Lodge Jewels I'm the
Hands of COnstabIe-A Suit Insti-
tuted TO Settle their Ownership.
There are indications that peace and
harmony do not not dwell quietly in the
lodge rooms of the Colored Ancient Free
and Accepted Masons of Georgia. A suit
was instituted in Justice Elsinger's court
yesterday by A. S. Gordon. who claims to
be " orshipful Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of the State, against Robert Bag
nell, a claimant for the same office, to re-
cover possession of the Grand Lodge
jewels.
The complications that lead to the suit
are the result of a secession movement in
the order. At the last meeting of the
Grand Lodge, held Dec. p, 1888, the by
laws were amended, changing the time
for holding the meeting OF the lodge and
electing its officers from December to
June; but no meeting Of the Grand Lodge
was held last June, and the Old officers
claim that they hold over until their sue
cessOrs are elected and installed. Some
of the members Of the order diSsented
from this opinion, and claimed that when
the officers were elected previous to the
time the bylaws were changed they
that being, at the time Of their election,
the date on which the Grand Lodge would
meet to elect their successors, and they
could not hold Office after that date. The
dissenteTs refused to recognize the Off
GERS holding over after Dec. p. The Off
GERS continued to act, however, and sat
down with all their official dignity and
vigor upon any who opposed them in their
efforts TO exercise their functions.
The result that the diGGpn-
tiers called a meeting Of Grand
Masters ofthe subordinate lodges through
out the State, claiming that the Masters
had a right under the circumstances to
elect officers Of the Grand Lodge. There
was not as full response to this call as
was expected, but several OF them as
sembled in Savannah Friday night, and
claiming to have a quorum present, pro-
ceeded to business. After canvassing
the situation they concluded that some
means must be devised to get possession
of the jewels and property of the lodge to
enable the officers they proposed to elect
to act with proper authority. The jewels
were in possession of Robert Bagnell,
Grand Senior Warden, and they deJerm-
med TO win him to their side by Offering
TO make him Grand Master if he would
join them and bring the jewels with him.
The temptation was too strong
for Bagnell, and he forsOok his
previous resolution to stand by his old
associates, and be went over to the enemy
and was duly elected and installed as
Grand Master. Other officers were
elected, and there are now two sets of
claimants Tor the honor of exercising the
duties of the grand Offices. The old OFF,
Gals determined at once to take legal
steps to recover the jewels and sued our a
writ of possession yesterday afternoon.
The writ was placed in the hands OF OFF,
Ger Sullivan, who Immediately proceeded
to take possession of the jewels, and the
question Of law and fact involved in the
dispute will be adjudicated by the Justice.

The Monthly Concerts.

The regular monthly missionary concerts Of
the Bethel and Fort Street churches took place
last "Wednesday evening. The subject at the
Bethel being Micronesia was a familiar one to
all present, and was rendered all the more inter.
esting from the use Of the map and large
painting Of one of the atols Of the Marshall
Island group. Miss Andrews explained the
map and Captain Bray ofthe Morning Star gave
brief sketch Of the peculiarities Of the islands
and islanders ofthc different groups, manners,
customs and conditions Rev. A. o. Forbes
summarized the progress Of mission work since
its organization in 1861, paying glowing trib-
utes to the work Of Hawaiian missionaries
did Captain Bray-and Of the promising work
being done through the training school at
Kusaie. The work of the different Morning
Stars was referred to and the present one
spoken Of as admirably fitted for the service
required Of her, and in which she will be found
to be none too large, especially as the field Of
work is being extended as teachers and mis-
sionaries are obtained in answer to the general
call among these islands Of the sea for the
gospel news Of salvation.
Al the Fort Street church the subject was
Africa. Nj. ]. S. Emerson presented care.

Of Congo, followed by brief remarks from Chief

THE gJNDTD FRIEND

The Friend has incurred the dis
pleasure OF the Court Journal because
the new editors have been fool hardy
enough, forsooth to advocate good
government and honest money In
other words "The Friend as a labor oil
love" has become, under its new
management "a labor for truth, hon.
esty and justice as we'll Be it known
and remembered that it is the duty OF
every journal whether religious or sc.
cllar to guard the interests Of the
people on all questions of morality and
government and that ii becomes
especially duty when political issues,
raised by the acts of an unscrupulous
and designing administration, threaten
the very existence of our island pros
perity The principle of the Friends
editorial as well as the facts stated
therein cannot be controverted by the
emissaries Of the government for the
very cogent and aggravating reason that
the principle has been proven right and
the facts have been firmly established
for the people of Hawaii through
practical experiences which have been
continually emphasized and embittered
by the acts and dealings of a "bought
and sold" government
