lished precedent, have set apart Thur ,day the
2ath day OF November as q day Of thanKsRiv
ing, and have visited and requested al religious
people to assemble in their respective places Of
Worship and engage in appropriate religious
services. and,
WHEREAS. 1t seems eminen.ly proper that
both the spirit and letter OF these proclametions
should be- regarded with becoming respect and
consideration, and far more important that the
services they propose should be begun and con-
Quoted in such q manner. and in such frame
of mind, as at once to faithfully express the
heartfelt gratitude of n favored people, and
prove acceptable TO him who ''seeketh such to
worship him as worship I'm spirit and in
truth" and
WHEREAS, 1t has been the custom Of some of
our business men to keep open their Offices and
places of business on Thanksgiving day till the
hour for assembling has passed, thus prevent
ing large portion Of our people from attend
ing the services and suitably responding to the
call to worship, while with others there has
seemed to be a growing Indifference to these
most opportune services, as is witnessed by the
diminished attendance; and
WHEREAS, Our city has especial reason to
return thanks to Almighty God, in that it has
OihttCl dali From bA agft
lence, therefore be it

COTTON MEN IN A WRANGLE

P. NJ. Dougan has D. Y. and R. r. Dancy
Arrested for Assault and Battery.
H. H. Smith, d. Y. Dancy and r. r.
Dancy were arrested yesterday for breach
of the peace upon warrants sworn out in
Justice Russelps court by P. NJ. Dougan.
Mr. Dougau also prosecuted the two
Dancys for assault and battery. They
were arrested and gave bond for their
appearance in the city court.
The arrest grew out of a personal encoun-
ter in front of the cotton exchange on Mon
day, in which it is alleged that the Dancys
assaulted Mr.. Dougan. A charge of fraud,
made by Mr.. Dougan against d. Y. Dancy
before the board of directors of the cotton
exchange, was the immediate cause Of the
trouble
Mr.. Smith had fifteen bales of lovers to
sell, and it is said that he sent samples of the
cotton to Mr.. d. Y. Dancy to sell for him.
Mr.. Dougan is an exporter, and he bought the
fifteen bales, among other cotton, from Mr..
Dancy. Mr.. Wells, Mr.. Dougan's shipper,
it was stated. discovered that the cotton
was mixed packed Mr.. Dougan was no.
titled, and he preferred charges against Mr..
Dancy before the cotton exchange. Supt
Merrihew, under instructions from the pres
ident, notified Messrs. Dancy and Dougan
to name a day on which to appear before
the board of directors.
The Messrs. Dancy were together in
front Of the cotton exchange Monday after.
noon, where they met Mr.. Dougan. Mr..
R. r. Dancy held an open letter from the
superintendent in his hand and asked Mr..
Dougan if he had preferred charges as
the letter stated. Mr.. Dougan replied that
he had, and Mr.. Dancy dealt him sting
ing blow in the face. Before any more
blows were passed friends interposed, and
the men we're separated. In the affidavit
upon which the warrants were issued Mr.
Dougan charges Mr.. d. Y. Dancy with
striking him from behind

@. e. MATTHEW'S CAREER.
The Fast Life That He Led in Sa-
Vannah.


The news of the suicide of George E.
Matthews in yesterdays MORNING NEWS
revived recollections of Matthe vs. career
in this city. Matthews did very prosper
GUS business ut the corner of Randolph and
South Broad streets, having bought out
Terrell, and not Terrell, as stated yester-
day. He was of a convivial and sporting
disposition, and many dog and cock fight,
known only to the friends of such sports,
occurred at his stables. He had wife and
two children, but he was not a domestic
man, and marital infelicity did not tend to
make him any more domestic in his habits.
1t was this which led to his family
troubles and his relations with the Col
dizer woman, which led to the arrest of
the pair upon the complaint Of Matthews
wife. 1t appears that he had sent her home
to Philadelphia, and she returned unex-
pectedly TO learn of her husbands doubtful
relations with the woman. Their arrest
followed. Joseph Cosman, a South Broad
street saloonkeeper, went the woman's
bond, and Henry Moeller went on the
bond of Matthews. Shortly after
truce was patched up between
Matthews and his wife, and it was
mutually understood that further proceed
ings were to be stopped, but to the surprise
of the wife and the bondsmen, Matthews
and the Goldizer woman suddenly disap-
peared. They were last heard of in New
Orleans, and from there it was thought they
had gone to Texas. His whereabouts were
unknown until the news of mis- suicide was
published yesterday. The elopement
occurred about two years ago. Shortly
after Mrs Matthews with her two children
returned to Philadelphia, and it is not be-
lieved here that any reconciliation was
effected between herself and her husband.

w. Fl. Brlmberry of Camilla Calls a
Meeting of His Creditors.
Following close upon the failure of Baum
& Bro. at Toomsboro. Dublin and Irwinton,
comes the announcement that w. H. Brim-
berry, Jr., of Camilla, keeping a general
store there, has called "a meeting of his cred
itors for next Satur day. His liabilities are
reported to be heavy and assets light. 1t
is also understood that Savannah merchants
have not been very heavy losers, as when
the credit of the house began to get weak
last spring they began TO drop out, and
didn't solicit trade.
Discussing the Baum & Bro. break yes
terday, one Of their principal creditors said
that he does not think their liabilities will
lie as great as reported-$l1S,000 He was
not prepared, however, to furnish any esti-
mate or approximate the amount for which
they have failed.
Another gentleman differs radically from
the creditor above quoted, and said that he
thinks that the liabilities will go over rather
tran under SllS,O00. 1t Is known that
Baum a. Co. are indebted to Savannah mer-
chants for more than half that sum, with
Macon, Atlanta, Augusta aud several north
ern cities to hear from, where the suspended
