AT THE RICE MILLS.
What is Being Done, and How the Mar
ket Stands.

What is Being Done, and How the mar
ket Stands.
The rice mills are doing heavy work.
A NEWS reporter visited each Of them
Yesterday, and found them running to
their utmost capacity, They report the
demand for rice exceeding the supply.
There is very little uDsOld cleaned rice
now in the Savannah market. In fact
the stock of cleaned rice is lighter than it
has been known 10 be for years. The
crop was an average one, but there is a
larger demand from all points than usual.
In to this date the receipts of
rice in the rough have reached 42l, 497
bushels. against $50, 124 bushels at the
same date last year. The mills are pay
ing from 81 80 to 81 40 in the rough, the
latter figure being paid for prime arti-
Gle. 1t will therefore be seen that the
value of rice already received at the sa-
yannah mills, at the prices now being
paid. will amount 20 near $l,OOO,O0O.
There has been a general advance in
prices during the past ten days, mainly
in the higher grades.

An TNDERFAKER IN COURT.

Ex- Coroner Sheftall Sued for the Value
of Right Coffins, which He Says were
Never Ordered.
Justice Naughtin was engaged yester-
day at the office of Justice Tyson in the
trial Of the case of III. A. Smith, colOred
undertaken, VS.. DR.. B. F. Sheftall. Smith
sued DR.. Sheltall for the price Of eight
collins, which, he claims, he furnished
the latter as Coroner of the county. The
principal witness for the plaintiff was W.
II. WOOdhOuse, who testified that by vir-
tue of his Office as Justice of the Peace he
acted as Coroner in a number OF cases at
the instance of DR.. Sheftall during the
latter's term of Office, and ordered the
collins from Smith for bodies upon which
he held inquests.
DR.. Sheftall, in his testimony, denied
that he owed for the collins. He said he
only authorized Woodhouse to act as
Coroner for him in one case, and that was
while he was i'll in 1891. Woodhouse had
never made return in the case to court,
and he had thereby been unable to obtain
his fees and the expenses OF holding the
inquest. Other evidence of contradlc'
tory nature was introduced. The Magls'
trate's decision in the case was reserved

WHAT KILLED THE HORSE.
Lawyers Trying to Decide a Veterinary
Question In Court.

Magistrates court for the First and
Fourth districts was held at the office of
Justice Tyson yesterday. Most of the
day was occupied with the trial before
Justice T. A. Folliard of the case of
George Jarvis VS.. Robert ROsentield for
breach of warranty of a horse sold by
defendant to plaintiff. Soon after the
animal was purchased it died, and the
question the lawyers in the case taxed
their legal acumen to settle was the
nature Of the disease that killed the
animal, and whether it was unsOund
when the purchase was made. A post
norton had been held on the horse after
its death, and several experts were ex-
amined as to the nature OF its disease, but
they differed. Richards & Hayward were
attorneys for plaintiff, and j. j. Abrams
for defendant. Justice Pollard will de-
eide the case this morning.

rant, and the matter was tried in the Su-
periOr Court yesterday. The jury re-
