which was heard by Magistrate Molina,
created some interest among ship brokers.

point or two in the facts. From the evil
dence il appears that the vessel came to
this port consigned to Fennimore Il John
son. Holmes, the master, made verbal
contract vita Roberts, the latter said, to
carry naval stores to Boston. Roberts
claimed that he then obtained the promise
Of a cargo of 5000 barrels Of rOsln from
Middleton & Co., Tor Boston. The same
day Capt Holmes contracted with Mid
dletOn 4 Co., for the same cargo through
FennimOre & Johnson. The plaintiff
claimed brokerage at the rate Of per
cent The defense maintained that the
contract between Middleton & Co., and
Capt. Roberts was not accepted by the
former. The defense also claimed S26 %
recOupment, as 1t is customary for the
brokers 10 allow the owners OF vessel so

manded.

Between Thursday, Oct. 1, and p. m.
yesterday the special postal delivery boys
delivered 65 letters in savannah. The six
boys got 81 30 for the eight days. work.
Business has not been very brisk, but
Yesterday they looked cheerier.
''The immediate letter delivery business

last night. "Nine letters were delivered
before p. m. This has been the busiest
day the boys have had. Each OF the day
messengers had three letters TO deliver,
and they went home at night with 24c. to
their credit for the days work"
Like the majority OF government en-

The San Francisco CAL says; The ship
ments Of fruit to the East still continues.
The rate, per passenger train, for green
fruit, is 5000 for each car Of %, 900 pounds.
The rate by freight train is $500 a car, but
President Stanford, some time since, made
a proposition to the fruit growers that il
they would make up a train of Is or is
cars once, twice or thrice a week, he
would send it through to Chicago in the
same time made by the recent tea trains,
which was less than that taken by the
passenger trains. AS yet the fruit grow
ers have taken no action in the matter.
Respecting the gross amount OF green
fruit shipped East by rail this season, the
railroad reports are not yet quite com
plete. The shipments up 60 August this
year reyated 535 car loads, and will
probably reach 1880 car loads by the end
0s the season. Calculating 10000 pounds
10 the car. this makes 35,0O0,000 pounds Of
green fruit for 1885. against 10000, 900 for
the year 1884, and 100000 pounds for the
year 1870.

DESTROYING THE JErTlEs.
Three British Sailors Arrested-rhs
Case Dismissed.

Case Dismissed.
VIM. J. Douglass, Felix Grant and VIM
CarrOuchi, seamen on board the British
bark Valona, were arrested yesterday on
charge Of destroying government
property.
In the afternoon they were given n bear
ing by United States Commissioner Locke.
A c0lored Waterman employed by Lieut..
Carter TO look after some OF the jetties up
the river, testified that the three men tried
20 sail over one OF the dams In a small
boat on SUNDAY last. Their boat struck
ou the stones, the Waterman stated, and
the men got out on the dam and threw
some Of the stones OF.
The sailors denied that they tore the
dam down and said that two Of them got
out on the dam to tighten the boat, which
then went over all right. The preponder.
ance of evidence being in favor OF the de-
PENDANTS, and IL being apparent that if
there was any damage done IL was not
malicious, the commissioner dismissed
the case. Lieut.. Carter says that
a number Of the dams have been partly
torn down by persons who wanted 10

with rheumatism in my feet, ankles. knees
ana hips, which became 20 s til. swollen and
sore, and the muscles so much contracted that
IL was impossible for me to strai gnten myself.
In this terrible condition, no medicine gave
me any reliei-my appetite aud strength fall

fers specially to the depression of in
duStrial interests of the country, shrink
age of values, the improbable character
OF production in many branches of
manufacture, and the general uncer-
tainty OF the markets. 1t states, how
ever, that there are signs that this
present period of depression, uncer-
tainty and loss is about to give way to
one of revived activity and enterprise.
The report deals also with questions of
fictitious bills of Iading, bankruptcy
legislation, interstate commerce, relief
of American shipping, reciprocal trade
with Canada, amendments to the ma
tional banking law and foreign COM
mercial relations of the United States.
Following the reading of the report, on

amended so as to provide for the an
nual election of one Yice-president for

of the following vice presidents: George

cussed at great length.

cited over over fend between two fac
items of Jews. One faction is composed
of members of a new sect called New
Israel, which is under the protection

principal tenet the belief that Christ
was the true Messiah. Orthodox Jews
have waged steady warfare against the
iIIH0vatlons, and the latest outcome
of the teud is the murder of the founder
of the new sect. Sectaries of New
Israel are burning to aYenge the death
of their leader, and a strong military
force has been ordered on duty to pre-
serve the peace.
