BoNAvENrURE,s POSSIBILITIES.
a Few Suggestions Well Worth Con-
siderinE.


Editor Morning News: Having visited
many If not most OF the best cemeteries,
from St. Petersburg and Naples TO San
Francisco, and having been actively inter-
ested in the org anization and administra-
ton Of one Of the large ones, feel justified
IN giving an opinion on Bonaventure and
its administration. 1t IL unique and has
charms and features which give II pre-
eminence among all. No one who has visit
ed it will ever forget its solemn Risles and
its peculiar aroOreal adornment, whereby
nature has stamped upon 1t special Mt
ness for its purpose. The harmony be-
tween the uses OF the place, ard the grand
old oaks and their funeral expression Is
most Impressive. Those natural Gothic
alsles, draped with weird banners, are 10
consonance with the feelings which should
properly be excited when visiting the
resting place Of our loved and lost.
When its managers have the courage OF
experience to charge a reasonably high
price for their lots, they can make it the
most beautiful, as il is now one Of the
grandest, cemeteries of the world.
The price charged at Mt. Auburn, near
Boston, is So 80 per square foot; this
would make an average lot-say 20 feet by
20 teet-cost 81 400. The lowest price at
West Laurel Hill, near Philadelphia, is
Soc. PEI square foot, making lot of 400
feet cost $240 Whilst in WoOdlawn, IA
miles out OF New York, they frequently
sell lots for $4,000, and sometimes as
high as $4,000 each.
The citizens of Savannah cannot ex-
pect to have their cemetery kept in such
order as is worthy of them unless they
pay sufficient sum for their lots. With
a reasonable paymeHt-nOt less than 60c.
per square foOt-Bonaventure will coon
become. under good management, a spot
equal in its gardenesque adOrnment TO it's
arboreal gl0ries and to the charming gar
dens of the Forest City.
What binders that BOnaventure, the
last home OF the brave men and hOnOred
women of Savannah, should surpass
DraytOn hall, on the Ashley Why should
not long avenues OF azaleas and camelias,
paid for and kept up at the expense Of the
wealthy citizens of a whole city, surpass
the grounds paid for and kept up by a
single gentleman? Drayton hail is the
one monument of what Is possible in
landscape gardening on the South Allan.
TIC. Is it not pityful that a whole city
should lose the opportunity of
creating and perpetuating a
cemetery PARK which would excel all the
gardens of lovely Enelandl In Padua
one sees a cemetery !. 400 years old, but
in which the adOrnment is solely archi-
tectural or statuesque. This kind of or
namentatiOn, though expensive, is not
en- rapport with the uses of the place /;
there is no sense of fitness between the
cold marble emblems OF grief and the
grief itself, But the sweet sadness en-.
gendered at BOnaventure is so tOuchingly
in harmony with the purposes to which
it is consecrated as to make it possible
that it should become par excellence the
model cemetery of the world. II. Us

The Damage they are Claimed to Have
Done on shiphoard.


He Honor Judge Harden, two at
torn-ys. TWO stenOgraphers. twelve
Jurors three naturalists and seventeen
other Witnesses were engaged in case in
the City Court all OF yesterday. The case
was a suit for damages brought by A.
Eirstein's sons for 1881 against the Bos-
ton and Savannah Steamship Company.
In the plaintiffs bill the damage is said
TO have been caused by little insect
/ known as the hide bug.
The plaintiffs alleged that in June, 1884,
they ordered shipment of shoes from
Boston. When the goods came here and
were inspected they did not suit the plain
tiis, and after few days were shipped
back to Boston. They remained there
awhile and were reshipped to Savannah on
the steamship Gate City. Wnen they got
here the second time they were rejected
a second time and sent back to Boston
Win tue statement that they were eaten
by hlde bugs. At the drst examination
no HIDE bugs were discovered, nor we're
there any signs OF beetles. The plaintiffs
claim that the bugs got In the cases of
shoes on the trip. The defendant proved
by number OF witnesses that never be-
tore or since have their been any COM
plants about hide bugs on the steamers.
Garrard a. Meldrim represented the
=
represented the defendant.
Prof. Z. Y. Riley, the eminent en-
tomologlst OF the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, was summoned BY the
plaintiffs as an expert on bugs.
He was in the court room for an hour or
TWO during the morning, but be WAS not
put upon the stand, and left for Washing
ton IN the afternoon. IL was whispered
around the court that what Prof Riley
knew about hide bugs would not have
been good testimony for the plaintiffs in
this case. Tne professor recently made a
special report TO the Agricultural Bureau
upon the hide bugs in this case, and his
theory was that the beetles could not
have got inside the shoe cases and gone
through all OF the transformation hide
bug undergoos-beetle, larve, worm,
caterpillar, butterfly, beetle.
Rev. Charles q. strong and Mr.. George
Noble, both naturalists, testified that II
iakes at least twenty-five days TOR all Of
the evOlutiOns, and usually hide bug Is
about month going through all OF the
changes and coming back a hide bug.
Every four or five or six days the insecs
makes change and comes out something
different. The scientific testimony was
IN favor of tue defendants theory that the
bugs did not get in the cases during the
voyage.
Alderman H. Myers and several other
witnesses testified that there are hide
bugs in Savannah In summer and Prof.
Riley says there are hide hugs In Boston.
Tne defense had not finished examining
witnesses when court adjourned at Z 40
O'Clock last night.
The case was tried IN July, 1885, in the
City Court, and the jury stood eleven TO
one in favor Of the defendant.

THE U. 5. COURT RECORDS,
The Resolutions Forwarded TO Attor-
neY General Garland.

The Resolutions Forwarded to Attor-
ney General Garland.
Secretary W. W. Fraser, Esq, has for
,warded to Attorney General Garland a
copy Of the report on the records Of the
United States Courts adopted at the last
meeting Of the Savannah bar.
After the Attorney General was in
formed Of Judge Speer's order, instruct
ing the Clerk to put the records IN shape,
he wrote to the Clerk and wanted to
know how much il would cost TO index
the records. Secretary Garland remarked
in his letter that the Department Of JUS
tice is not disposed to 20 TO any more eX-
pense than is absolutely necessary. The
attorney General stated that in his Opin-
ion no serious loss would result to the
government If the records are leftin their
present condition.
The committee. OF which Col. VIM. Gar
rard was chairman, reported as follows:
ave find that the records and files OF
the United States Circuit and District
Courts, from their organization down to
the year 1866, are in q deplOrable cOndi-
tion, and that unless steps be very soon
taken to preserve such Of them as can
now be restored, and to have them prop
ierly indexed, so that they will not be torn
90 pieces when searches are made therein
for Information, that they will soon be to-
tally destroyed.
cit is within the knowledge OF this
committee that members OF the bar hav-
ing occasion to examine into said records
and files for important information there
in, have repeatedly, after expanding much
labor and time. been compelled to aban-
don further search because OF their con-
ditiOn and the want OF proper indexes TO
said records and files.
ave commend the order OF the court
made In the premises, and we indOTse the
report OF the Clerk in his letter TO the
Hon. A. II. Garland, Attorney General,
as 20 the Importance Of the work therein
stated TO be necessary.
''The committee feel gratided at the in
terest taken by the court and its officers
in this matter, and we are Of the opinion
that the Department Of Justice will upon
proper presentation OF the matter TO it,
cooperate with the court ana its officers
in remedying the evils complained OF.

Play Brilliant Fielding Game-The
Last Of the SRVannah-Detroit Series
to be Played To-day. 81
The fourth game OF the savanuah4De-
troit series was won yesterday by savan-
nah by score Of 10 to 5. The crowd A.
the park was not so large as that WHICH
witnessed Mondays game, but the excite
ment ran high. The sharp, cutting wind
blew clouds OF sand into the spectators
eyes and blinded the players in the begin
ming OF the game. The grand stand looked
like an oceulists reception. Nearly eve
rybody wore colOred glasses or a veil. BY
the time the fifth inning had been played
the wind had gone down, and through the
rest of the afternoon there was very little
annoyance from the sand.
The game occupied almost two hours.
1t was decisive victory for the Savan-
nahs, who 0utplayed the visitors at every
point. Moriarity pitched for the home
team and Fitzsimmons held the box for
the Detroits. Both pitchers were batted
freely. MOriaTlty was hit for II base bits
and FitzsimmOns for -. Gillen and Rowe
caught effectively. Each was credited
with 2 passed balls. The Savannahs
played sharp and almost errOrless field
ing game. The only error was by Strict,
who tumbled ball at second. The De-
trOits were credited with four fielding
errors by Richa' dson at second, White at
third, Bennett in centre field, and Man
nlng at short.
Tue playing OF Richardson and Manning
at second base was great. BFOutaers cOy-
cred first as only Broutbers can, aud
White, with the exception OF one error,
played fine game at third.
The fielding by both teams was brilliant.
Benefits One-handed catch was loudly
applauded. HOtaling had very little to do
Ia centre field but PLAYED without an
error. Strict and Field led the batting for
the Savannahs aud Richardson for the
Detroits. Each nine led OF with two runs
in the first inning. la the second inning
Detroit scored one run and Savannah was
shut onC In the third inning Savannah
brought three men across the
plate and the DetrOits made their last
run in the game except one, a home run
by Thompson In the ninth inning. The
Savannahs we're shut out from the fourth
to the eighth inning, when by heavy
batting and an error Of short stop
they brOught IN 6 men and ran
up the score from to 10. The home run
by Thompson was the only home run that
mas been made on the grounds this sea-
son. The game was won by close work.
The Savannahs played sharply al
every point. The DetrOits did some
brilliant playing in the field and
at the bat. Richardson was credited
with a total of 8 base hits,
and was the only man IN the
visiting team, except Thompson who
struck beyond single base hit. Field
Of the home nine struck a beautiful 3
Dagger and base hits were made by
K. Moriarity and Strict.

few minutes after Z O'Clock last night by
an alarm from box 10 at West Broad and
BroughtOn streets. The fire was dis
covered under the roof Of a twO-stOry
frame house on the north side OF
Bryan street, near Farm. officer
Sheehan was patrOlling Farm
street and saw the smoke and flames
bursting out OF a window. Hurrying up
TO West Broad street he turned in an
alarm. The firemen soon bad the fire I'M
der control and in half an hour it was
wholly extingu shed. The side OF the
house and the roof were burned through,
but before the flames got further headW
khe liremen had them subdued. The briu-
eipal damage is In the attic of the house
and In the second story. The lower part
OF the house was damaged only by water.
The property Is owned and occupied by
Mary Heard, a colOred woman, and is
fully insured. The promptness Of Officer
Sheehan in turning in the alarm and
the efficiency OF the fire department
saved Yamacraw from what might have
been another disastrous contlagration.
The neighbOrhOod where the fire broke
out is densely covered with wooden
buildings, and had Inc flames got under
Roadway it would have been hard work to
have kept them under control.
