the owners of the cargo are liable to pay
salvage in respect to the lives, and the
owners OF the lost ship are not liable to
contribute to the payment. The theory is,
that IN case Of life salvage the payment is
made, not because of any benefit con-
fer"ed upon him who pays, but rather be-
cause OF the interest the community has
in encouraging the saving of life. 1t may
be that the diamonds will not have TO bear
the whole burden OF the salvage. Fur
Their attempts are to he made to salve car
go now in the hold of the Oregon, and
should they be successful, the cargo
brought up will also have TO contribute to
the life salvage. A similar case occurred
on our coast some years ago. The Ger
man steamer Schiller was lost. Some
boats saved the lives of some Of the pas
sengers and crew. The Schiller had a
large amount OF specie on board, and this
was afterward recovered, but not by the
people who saved the lives. The owners,
masters, and crew of the boats were held
to be entitled to salvage out of the pro-
ceeds Of the specie.
We have spoken OF the owners of the
diamonds as the persons who pay for the
life salvage. 1t does not, however, ulti-
mately come out of their pockets, but of
their underwriters. salvage being a loss
recoverable under marine policy.

LOST WITH The OREGON.
The English Rule About Paying for the
sunken Property.
from No Ec0n0WlSt.

From tho Economist.
Happily all the passengers and crew,
numbering some 500 people, were taken
oil the Inflated Oregon before she went
dowuoG Long island the other day. OF
ttecWso inc only thing Of any value as
yet saved, beyond a few mail bags, is the
diamonds which she had on board. These
are Of great value, being said 10 be worth
million dollars. We think we may take
1t for granted that claims for salvage SER
vices will be made. 1t is
true the North German LlOyd's,
to whom the rescumg steamer,
the Fulda, belongs, are reported 10 have
SAID, very generously, that they were
only too happy to have been instrument
tal IN saving so many lives, and that
Jley waived all claim for SALVAGE. Blu
even If this statement be literally correct,
Two other vessels, a pilot boat and
ecn0oner, played an important part in the
saving Of the passengers, ana CLAIMS for
salvage services are therefore highly
probable. Ina these circumstances IL may
ne OF interest to consider how the various
interests would be affected by such a
claim.
In the first place, the award Of the
courts would doubtless be a liberal one;
lor though some OF the ingredients-such
- ttlc llnh lhcNIleU by Tue 1alNolbs tue
sAlli shown I'm renderingthe services, and
lhe time and labor Cccupied-of salvage
services were present in 0ut small quanti-
YES others, viz, the degree Of danger
nom which the lives or property are res
.Ne0 nnd 'he value OF the property saved,
wore considerable. Tine saving OF human
me counts TOR much in the assessing Of
salvage services. But in the
second place, who is 10 pay
lle sum awarded? Tho ship, or the cargo,
or Dothl Not the ship, for she is at the
potion OF the sea, total loss. Not the
shipowner, for the liability to pay for sal
wage services f. not a general personal
inability, but is limited TO the value OF the
property saved, aud the shipowners'
property IN this case IL lost. The salvage
award IN respect OF both the property and
tne lives saved can only be had out OF the
saiue OF the goods sayed-that is, the dia-
Az first blush this doctrine that the
oWnersot the diamonds, and they alone,
should be the people 10 remunerate the
salvors for their services, not only in res
peet Of the diamonds, but also In respect
~ lne lives. may appear strange, and per-
laps inequitable. Such, however, ls the
Jaw. When lives and cargo are salved
4I0m shin. but the ship 10 totally lost.

A TURF TRAGEDY.
Winning an Exciting Race by Arranging
for the Other Drivers Death.
From NE 81. Lonis Globe- Dan.oerat.

for the Other Drivers Death.
Frou4the 81. Louis G5obe- Democrat.
"Sam" Crook, turfmau. died at Chi
cago several days ago. His death brings
to mind one of the most deplorable turf
tragedies of the Countrywide killing Of
William McKeeyer, the driver of the trot-
ting horse Gen. Butler, on the race track
of the Chicago Driving Park Association,
on Saturday, Sept. -, 1885. "Sam" drove
Butler IN the first heat. but, suspecting
something wrong, refused to 90 on in the
race. Gen. Butler was matched
against Cooley for purse of $1,000.
William Riley, the driver Of Cooley, re-
fused to enter upon another heat, al
| leging foul play on the part of McKeever,
who then took Butler in hand. After
considerable wrangling Rilev was per-
suaded to re-enter the ring. BY this time
the sun had set and the rival horses and
their drivers could hardly be distin-
guished. 1t was impossible for either the
Judges or the spectators to follow them
around the track, and the crowd waited
with intense interest. Soon a shout was
heard and Butler, at break-neck pace
came under the wire, but the drivers
seat was empty.
where's McKeever?" whats the
matter?" came from the multitude. A
moment passed and Cooley came in with
Riley holding well in hand. The specta-
tors crowded around the stand, demand
ing explanations, when it was announced
by the Judge that McKeeVer was left for
pdead on the backstretch. The widest eX-
citemeut then ensued, and. at one time it
was feared a riot would take place, but
this was prevented by the large police
force on the ground.
"Butler is coming; clear the track"
The crowd parted, Butler speeding on.
The multitude closed up and shouts of
"McKeever is murdered!" ARREST Bill
Riley" came from alEthroats. A party
went in search of McKeever and found
him insensible, living on the track on the
backstretch. On the left side of the head,
Just above the cheekbOne, the skull was
broken and a portion of the brain was
protruding from the wound. He died the
next day. The manner in which the fatal
wound was given is supposed to be as
follows: A board taken from the fence
was held over the track and McKeeVer
came against the end, his horse running
at the time. Several. arrests were made,
among them Riley, the driver of Cooley,
but no one was ever convicted of the
h crime. 1t is alleged that there are at
l'least four persons now living who could
call the name of the man who held up the
board before the dashing horse.

CUTS LOOSE
From the old Credit
System, and adopts a
Strict CASH basis
upon all goods ex-
cepting Pianos and
Organs,

Our New Strict Cash System a grand
success. Leading citizens indorse 1t and
say that all Savannah merchants should
adopt it. 1t is unquestionably true that
the Credit'system in vogue in this city is
positively detrimental to the interests OF
both Merchants aud Patrons, aud should
be abandoned. Each Merchant has an
undisputed right to run his business after
his own ideas, and we would not attempt
to dictate; but, as for US, we elect TO do
our trade in future on a strict CASH
BASIS.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-04-13

The losses which occur in every credit
business must be made up on Cash or
prompt pay Patrons, and hence mer-
Grants who do an unsecured credit trade
cannot supply their patFons at the lowest
figures. Progressive houses, believing in
the policy of small profits and large
sales, recognize this fact-and hence do a
CASH trade. And, on this rock we
stand.
