EDUCATING NEGRO WOMEN.

The Franciscan school on skidaway
Ialand to be Opened In n short Time
What Bishop Gross Says About the
Aims OF the Church.
About two months ago a number Of
Franciscan nuns were brought to savan-
nah by Bishop Gross, having in view the
founding Of a convent and school on
Skidaway Island for the education and re-
ligisus training of colored females.
The erection OF new building for the
purposes Of the institution was CON-
meneed Immediately and the building
will be opened probably in the next two
weeks. 1t will be conducted by the sis
tiers as day and boarding school for col
Ored girls. The day school will be free to
all cOiOred children in the neighborhOod
who cannot afford to pay tuition. A
small charge will be made for attending
the boarding school, but whenever practl-
cable those desiring TO attend Will be
assisted.
Bishop Gross was seen by NEWS re-
porter last night. He stated that he ex-
Dected 10 soon have the school in working
order with a limited capacity, but IL
would be enlarged and improved from
time TO time as the patronage demanded.
lie believed the most effectual means for
the advancement of the negro race to be
the elevation of the negro women. "The
basis of all society, ''said the Bishop, sis the
family, and if women are chaste and re-
fined the family will be also" This, be
said, was one Of the fundamental ideas Of
the Roman Catholic Church, and is based
on the life and character of the Virgin
Mary. wherever Christianity has pre-
vailed woman has been elevated, and
the beneficial effects of her advancement
are incalculable. TO appreciate this fact
we have but TO contrast Christian ma
tiOns with Turkey and China, where the
women are slaves and virtue is at dis
count"
The church believes the best way to ele-
/ Vate the negro is to elevate their women
/ by teaching them virtue and refinement.
and the Bishop regards the Catholic
nun as better adapted 10 this work
/ than any other agency. "When peO-
/ ple,'' said he, ''see that their wO-
/ men are refined and chaste, il not only
| has a beneficial effect upon the head of
/ the family, but the mothers will teach
| their children both by example and pre-
| cept to follow in their footsteps, and the
| lessons thus learned will never be tor
| gotten. He. ce il is that the Catholic
/ Church has determined to do all in its
power to elevate the negro women OF
the South. The church believes that
! by so doing it is commencing
to build at the foundation and Is using
/ the most effectual means to advance the
| entire race"
Bishop Gross has also in view the es-
adjustment in the city of an Orphanage
for cOlOred females. and hopes soon u
! commence putting the enterprise IN
shape.

MAI. WYNN ASSIGNS.

His Liabilities Estimated at $4,000,
with Nominal Assets $4,000.
The assignment of A. A. VIM, cotton
factor and commission merchant, created
some stir yesterday in business circles.
The first report placed the amount of liza
biIities much larger really is. 1t was
stated last night that the liabilities would
not exceed IS. 900, while the nominal assets
are about $4,000. The assignment IS made
for the purpose OF liquidation. William
Clifton. Esq, the assignee, said to NEWS
reporter last night that there would be no
difficulty IN liquidating every dollar Oh
the debt Just as soon as the matter could
be got in shape. The cause Of Maj.
Winn's embarrassment was the ma
turity Of accommodation paper which
he was unable TO meet and which went TO
protest. His creditors are mostly in the
country. The matter is claimed TO be
rather in the nature of a liquidation than
a failure, as il is stated that all creditors
will be paid in full as soon as certain Sc
curities can be realized upon. The assign
ment is without preferences and is caus-
ing no uneasiness.

4 Lively Interest Manifested by Citi-
zens IN the Enterprise.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards have
undertaken the work of building the
largest and handsOmest armOry in the
Southern States. The work is already
commenced, and the architect will be
here in a few days to assist the committee
in awarding the contracts for the different
kinds of work.
The enterprise in which this veteran
military organization is engaged is some
thing more than company affair. Every
citizen is interested in it, and quite a
number are showing their deep interest
in the undertaking by offering substan-
tial aid 70 meet this generous i'm
pulse, and at the same time iden-
tify all those who wish TO
contribute TO the efforts of the Guards in
the enterprise, the corps proposes to Orga-
nize pay membership, which Will place
a limited number of gentlemen, who will
contribute stipulated amount, on
the rolls of the company for life; all
such members, of course, being subject to
election. There is no doubt that hun
dred names, among them the best men in
the city, can thus be added TO the al
ready large roll of those who are honOred
with a membership in the battalion.

and some funny people in it too. You
have all come in contact with some that
are never satisfied. They grumble from
morning until might've heard man
even grumble in bed. That man would
grumble at anything and everything
without reason; but this week we heard
a gentleman grumble with good reason.
He bought suit of clothes and paid
good old-fashiOned price for it, and, hap
pening to come into the "FdmOus," he
was shown a suit of the same class OF
goods, and our price was SIS less than he
had paid. That gentleman had good
reason to find fault and grumbled at this
bad luck, but it will be good lesson to
him, and he will buy of the "Fdn1OuS"
next time. We are through taking stock,
and now comes our annual clearing sale.
We will sell you anything in our line at
manufacturers cost. Our prize system
has worked charmingly, and we made
dozens of people happy by giving them
prizes. We will keep it up. Call and we
will not only give you better goods,
cheaper than you can buy anywhere, but
give prize TO every twentieth purchaser
in the bargain. "FdmOuS," 40 Congress

A Decision in the NacOOchee-ThOmPsOn
Collision Case.

A Decision in the observation-disclosures
Collision Case.
In April, 1888, the steamship Nacoo-
chez, OF the Ocean Steamship Company,
collided with the fishing schooner Lizzie
Thompson off Cape Hatteras. The owners
of the schooner sued the steamship COM
pany in the United States Circuit Court
for $4,000 damages. The NacOOchee was
on her way to New York when on April
IS, off Cape Hatteras, it being very
foggy, the officers thought they heard
cries Of distress and the vessel was
turned about, when the schooner sud
denly doomed up and the collision oc-
CURED. The Thompson sunk. The court
now decides that as the Thompson had
only two men on deck out of crew of
sixteen, she was jointly liable with the
steamship, and assesses equal damages
to each.

A Bad Season and Growers Exceedingly
Blue.

A Bad season and Growers Exceedingly
Blue.
The state of the orange market this sea-
son has been extremely unfavOrable to
growers, and it is said that many Of them
are exceedingly blue over the prices real
lied. Savannah generally affords mar
ket for about 10000 boxes Of oranges, and
the amount realized for them
has never, previous to this
season, in the opinion of most dealers
fallen short of 1000. At the beginning
of the season ''culls' usually bring as
high as SO 80 per box, and The price sell
dom falls much short of 81 20 at the end
of the season. While about the usual
number Of oranges have been sold in this
market this year, it is estimated by those
realized will not exceed $50, 600. Oranges
are now selling at 81 80 box in Savan-
nah. and occasionally sales are made by
persons not regularly in the business, to
whom oranges have been assigned by
friends at lower figures.

He Tells How the Catholic Church Views
the Dynamiters.
In conversation with Bishop Gross last
night IN regard to the recent London eX-
ploslons the Bishop said to a NEWS
reporter: - was unable to express my
horror and Indignation when L
heard of the terrible disaster. 1t
Is simply murder. The Catholic
Church is opposed to all such methods of
warfare. The Irish bishops and clergy
have denounced the dynamiters, and the
Church regard their methods opposed to
every principle Of religion. While the
Pope would like to see the Irish secure
their rights, he has repeatedly denounced
anv method like that which crops out IN
the London catastrophe. As for myself
ann irish on my mothers side. My grand
father was a participant in the Lord Fitz-
rerald rebellion and for so doing had to
flee the country, but condemn all such
horrible methods of warfare in which
dvnamite becomes the agent of destruc-
ton of innocent and inOfensive persons"

sLAsHED WITH A BOTTLE.


Turbulent Cook in Notorious Old
Fort Den DIsfigures Her Rival with
Beer Bottle.
Hannah Johnson, corpulent negro
woman, rushed into the office of Justice
Molina about / o'clock yesterday after
noon with blood streaming down her neck
and from her right wrist, and demanded
"A warrant for the arrest of Anna Flower.
Justice Molina concluded from the APP
pearance or the woman that she was not
in a condition to attend to legal business
and sent her to the City Dispensary TO
have her wounds dressed. DR.. Sanders,
city physician, when examining the
wounds, discovered that they were deep
flesh wounds. but were not of danger
Gus nature. A deep cash extended across
the right wrist, another cut open the
shoulder, and a third the head. All
the cuts had the appearance of having
been inflicted with a Ratchet or other
sharp instrument.
Ii appeared from the wOman's story that
she received the wounds while engaged
in Il fight with another negro woman,
named Anna Flower, a cook for John
Wav. proprietor of "a saloon at the corner
OF Randolph and Cleburne streets. Ways
place is one of the most notorious negro
resorts in the Old Fort nelgnDOrnOOd.
The woman has a room in Ways house
and is not always on the best of terms
with his cook. About noon yesterday,
while the cook was on the opposite side
of the street from the saloon, Hannah
called out to her that Way wanted his
dinner. She went over 70 the house and
vowed that Way never said so. Hannah
accused her Of calling her liar, and the
latter repeating that Way had not said be
wanted his dinner, struck her in the
mouth with "A bottle. A battle followed,
during which Hannah received the
wounds dressed by DR.. Sanders. She
claimed, however, that they were in
flicted with an AK, but Anna says she
used bottle.
After having her wounds dressed the
woman returned TO Justice MOlina's Of
iice and obtained a warrant for the arrest
Of her assailant, who was taken into Gus
tOdy. When she put in an appearance at
the Magistrates office she pointed to her
lip, which was swollen to twice its Ordl-
nary Dimensions, to prove shat she had
also been assaulted, and to lacerated
finger, which, she said, had been bitten by
her opponent. When the case was called
for trial she refused to prosecute and the
nrooaad inUS wore dismissed.
