Watches and Diamonds Found in Tea
and Coffee-A Novel Way of Intro
ducing Goods.
The names of all persons finding dia-
monds, watches, etc. are added to this list
daily. The Overland Tea Company, of
San Francisco, Cal, have refitted the store
No. rs Broughton street, between Bull and
Drayton streets, and in order to introduce
their goods this company put for thirty
days souvenirs in every can of tea and
coffee sold such as solid gold, silver and
nickel watches, also genuine diamonds in
solid gold setting; also money and MANY
other articles of less value. Every can con
tains a souvenir. The Coffee, can and con-
tents weigh about three pounds; the Tea,
can and contents about one and one-half
pounds. This expensive and novel way Of
advertising will be discontinued after thirty
days. and these really choice goods will be
sold strictly on their merits, but with
out the souvenir. Of course every
purchaser must not expect to get
II diamond or watch. This company
claim that they have just as good right to
give away watches, diamonds, or other
lewelry and money, as their competitors
have to give away glassware, chromos, etc

Pushing the Asphalt Pavement

Mr.. Scharf, of the Warren -Scharf
Asphalt Company, said yesterday that the
recent wet weather has materially retarded
the work of paving However, he
has promised the Jasper Festival Com
mittee that Bull street should be
paved in time for the festival, and that has
already been done. Yesterday the pave
ment on Congress was completed from Bull
street east to Drayton, and a full. force was
spreading the limestone and cement west on
Congress as far as the market. Mr. Scharf
says that if the weather will permit the
work will be completed beyond the market
weather of last Friday night compelled
suspense on of work until yesterday. Mr.
Scharf was asked if it was contemplated TO
pave the streets surrounding johnson
square. He replied that no negotiations
have been made looking to that end

THE CASSIDY TRIAL.
The Case Assigned FOR To-Dey-An IN
creased Panel OF Jurors.

! Ee Ease Assigned tOr IO-Dby-An IN
creased Panel OF Jurors.
The proceedings in the Superior Court for
the next few days will he crowded with in
terest if the celebrated Cassidy murder
case, now assigned for hearing to-day, is
not continued. Every preparation las been
made, it is believed, by the State an in
creased panel of jurors has been summoned,
and il is altogether unlikely that the State
will ask for any postponemeut.
The readers OF the MORNING News are
familiar with all the circumstances Of the
Tybee Island murder, with which Cassidy
stands charged. During his long imprlson-
ment he has maintained a studied reticence,
so that his defense Will not be weakened by
conflicting statements, for if he has made
any statements they have been conhded to
his counsel only.
Beyond the selection of jury and the
presentation of the case, nothing can rea-
sonably be expected, a counsel for the de-
tense will make stubborn fight for every
point favorable to their client
The State will be represented by Solicitor
General f. q. duBignon, and the accused by
Col. George \. Mercer and L. r. Richards,
Esq The thrilling features OF the trial are
20 be expected when the witnesses are
placed upon the stand. and some surprises
may be looked for The number of wit
nesses on the docket for the State and the
defense will number at least twenty, but it
is likely that others will be introduced
during the progress OF the trial.

NEW CHEMICAL WORKS.
Shotter & Co.'s Mills for Refining and
Distilling Pine Tree Products.

4T60 EICo0SbS'
Without any flourish of trumpets a new
enterprise is about to spring into life in
Savannah. S. P. Shotter & Co., naval
stores exporters, at No. 1906 Bay street, are
the projectors of what promises to be an
enterprise that will not only mark new
departure in the disposition of the products
OF the pine, but will no doubt he the avant
| courier of like enterprises.
a MORNING NEWS reporter had a pleas
ant talk with Mr.. Shooter yesterday, and,
while the latter was not inclined TO give
unusual prominence to the new enterprise
by stited interview, he very kindly gave
such information as was sought by the
NEWS representative.
In brief, the firm has long thought that
if the crude products of the pine tree could
be shipped abroad and distilled and refined
at profit it conld be more proftably done
here at the chief naval stores depot of the
South, and MeSsrs. Shooter & Co went
quietly to work to erect chemical works in
Savannah. Ground was broken last week
on the Bay street extension below the
Ocean steamship wharves, and work is
being pushed rapidly forward. There will
be several buildings, one or two of brick
and iron, the others frame buildings. The
greater part of the machinery has been
ordered and some of it is already on the
ground. MeSsrS. Shotter q Go. hope to get
the works in operation within four to six
weeks.
The products which will be turned out by
the chemical factory are principally creo-
sote, analine dyes, varnish, the different
acids derived from distillation of the resin
GUS substance Of the pine, and tar. As the
factory is experimental at the beginning,
its capacity cannot now be correctly APP
proximated, but it will give employment to
twenty-five or thirty men, among whom
will be numbered those skilled in distillation.
Were it chartered corporation it would
not be out of place to estimate the capital in
vested i'll the new enterprise, but as it is dis
tinctly an enterprise of Messrs. Shotter &
Co., 1t is not necessary to say more than
that ample capital will be at command to
thoroughly test the new departure of manu-
featuring at home that which has so long
been sent abroad for manufacture.
The firm expect to find ready home and
European market for its manufactured
articles, their Wilmington, n c.. turpen-
tine distillery and chemical works there in
a smaller scale, having satisfied them Of
the success which they may reasonably ex-
pect from the enlarged enterprise here.
The works, as viii be seen. are located
advantageously for the receipt of the crude
product by rail and river, and also for the
shipment of the refined products Of the
works
