THE WEST LETTERS.
Quay,s friend snyder I'm Calf fOrnia a
When They Were Posted.

When They Were Posted.
AT the time the letter purporting to
have been written by man named
Murchison, of Pomona, CAL, to Sir L.
Sackville- West was posted, William P.
Snyder of this city, lawyer on Walnut
street, one of the publishers of the Sun
day Dispatch and trusted friend of Ma
tional Chairman Quay, was in California
and at Los Angeles, within few miles
of Pomona.
The letter to the British Minister was
dated September 4th, and his reply was
dated from Beverly, Mass. September
18th. William z. Snyder was special
Assistant United States Attorney General
under Bepjarnin Harris Brewster, of
President Arthur's Cabinet, and was sent
South at that time to investigate alleged
election frauds. He got his appointment
through Colonel Quay. Snyder left this
city about the 25th OF August last and
arrived at Los Angeles shortly before the
Murchison letter was dated. He re-
mained in California for two weeks after
the reply of Lord Sackville- West was
written, and returned to this city on the
Sd of October.
One OF the last persens Snyder saw be-
fore his departure for the Pacific slope
was Chairman Quay, who was at the
Continental Hotel. When Snyder called
to see him the bellman asked him to send
up his card. but Mr.. Snyder said it
wasn't necessary, and, getting into the
elevator, went right to Quay's room.
COMING BACK WITH PLENTY OF CASH.
The night Mr.. Snyder got back he ate
supper in the Grand House cafe, and in
terrupting political conversation that
was being held by cluster of men, Sny-
der declared in loud voice that
was heard all over the roor" i,
that nobody would dare to bet $500
on Cleveland. He announced that
he had just returned from California and
knew what he was talking about. He
bluffed everybody in the cafe. That
night he exhibited a great deal Of money
and many of his acquaintances who had
known that he had been in financial
difficulty before his departure for Califor-
mia were surprised at the healthy con-
dition of his pocketbook.
He told one well-known hotel man
that he had gone to California as the
counsel of big corporation, and to
another man he said that he had gone
out there to introduce new sewerage
system. Mr.. Snyder was accompanied
on his return by some Californians, and
while cut there he said he met q number
of politicians and newspaper men.
A BoMBsHELL IN THE DEMOCRATIC CAMP.
A day or two before the Murchison-
Sackville correspondence was printed in
the newspapers, Mr.. Snyder stated pub
licly in the Girard House cafe that "a
bombshell would be thrown into the
Democratic camp shortly before the
election that would settle Cleveland's
hash" When the letters came out in

A Startling business Proposition.
A little over six weeks ago Mrs. Fowler of 327
Ellis street, San Francisco, stopped in at leading
city druggists to ask what effect Joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla, about which she hsd heard 80 much
recently, would havein ases of dyspepsia and sick
headache. She was assured that in most cases Il
would relieve 10th. She was, however, soincredll-
leus that finally the druggist gave hera bottle, not
to be paid for unless it effected cure. PROPOSE
ton so startngly practical has SELDOM If ever be-
fore, been mfde. The following just received is the
convincing conclusion, and tells it's own story:
San Francisco, February 8, 1888.
DEAR SIR: write to admit that notwithstand-

did all that you promised. I had tried SO many
prescriptions. TO no purpose. that had come to

BEEF FROM THE EAST.
A Proposition 10 ship I'm Meat From
Chicago.

A Proposition 10 ship I'm Meat Prom
Chicago.
Mr.. G. r. Myers, prominent Eastern
provision man, arrived in the city from
Philadelphia last night. MIR. Myers was
here about year ago and was very
much impressed with the future of the
city, so much so that he looked about
for good opportunities for investment
not in real estate, but in commercial
line. He said last pight that he has de-
cided to open wholesale beef house if,
after observations in the CITY.
the prospects are as encouraging
as they were year ago. The
meat is to be shipped from
Armour 8 house in Chicago in refrigerator
cars, and Mr.. Myers has succeeded in
making satisfactory rate with the rail-
road companies and has also secured
acceptable terms for cold storage with
the Hendricks Company. The beef. if
the proposed house is established, will be
shipped in to order, and by this means
more prime cuts can be obtained than at
present, for there is not enough consump D.
ton OF the poor parts of the Arizona cattle
to warrant the butchers killing any large
amount of stock at time, and as result
prime cuts are not always obtainable.
Mr.. Myers has travelled extensively
through the east during the past year
and says that whenever it was found out
that he had been to Los Angeles be was
deluged with queries as to whether or
not Southern California was as good as
had been reported. He invariably told
his questioners that he had been SC
favorably impressed with it that he bad
decided to dispose of his eastern bu -iness
and locate permanently in the City OF
the Angels.

Snyder and some others had gone to Los
Angeles and had succeeded in selling the
right to lay the patent drains to syndi.

that there was likely to be big money in

The Early Crop About In and the

Early peaches are scarce in the Savannah
market, and as a consequence they find a
ready sale. Yesterdays train from Macon
brought In 126 crates and baskets. Ninety
six were consigned to L. Putzel and thirty
TO A. H. Champion. They were put upon
the market at 8 o'clock and before 10 O'Clock

The quality of the fruit is getting better,
and when the regular peach season comes
ON, which will be within the next few days,
peaches will sell rapidly, and at a fair price.
Fruit dealers do not expect heavy crop OF
late fruit. They estimate the crop some
thing less or falling from that of last
year. The early crop was considerably
larger, however, than either the
farmers or the dealers expected. A. II.
Champion, one Of the largest dealers in the
city, said that his total receipts for tho early
crop is 2,423 baskets and crates These
ranged in price from 25c up 10 s. per bushel.
During the season a number of crates have
been received from Forsyth, and as far up

Yesterdays exercises at the African
attended as on the day before, were highly
interesting. Rev. John Williams Of Bruins
wick led the praise service, an able address
upon 1.-THE Bible as Believed by Baptists, "
was delivered by Rev. j. c. Bryan Of
Americas. Rev. G. M. Spratling of Bruins
wick also spoke upon the same
union among members. He thought
the time not far distant when white and
colored Baptists will be on level in religious
matters. In concluding he read a poem on
Union
1.-THE Authenticity of the Bible" which
was to have been discussed by Rev. David
Shaver, d. D., and Rev. H. H Tucker, d.
D., of Atlanta was omitted owing to the
absence OF the speakers. After devotional
service the convention adjourned until 8
o'clock in the afternoon, when Rev. G. H.
Brighthorpe read an interesting paper on
1.-The Dignity of the Ministry and the Nee
eSsarv Qualifications to Fit the Ministry for
its Work" His position was That minis
ster must be man Of character.
Character" said he, sis what a
man Is and not what he is
said to be-" The speaker held that a man
TO be a minister must be good Not only
good rs a christian, but good as a man. He
must have a good name, which is more to
be desired than riches" A minister's good
ness must be seen in his own family, around
his own fireside. II must bs recognized by
the outside world His mind must be spir-
itualized, and he must have all abundance
of faith. A man in order to DO a success
full minister must be Of great morality, vir-
tue and spirituality. He must be truthful
and pay his debts. The speaker commended
that a minister of to-day must be educated.
A minister must be a man Of courage. He
must dare to do right whether the right is
popular or unpopular. God has committed
the care of His church TO him. He has put
the minister in relation with Himself next
to Christ This paper was heartily received
by the audience.
After Rev. Brighthorpe had concluded
short praise service was held and the CON
vention adjourned until to-day at Q o'clock.

Prospects tor a Cool Spell This Week
The Weather Clerks Prophecy.
Savannah has been treated to hot wave
the past two days, although the city Jared
better than inland towns.
The highest temperature recorded here
yesterday was So. This was A. lower than
on Friday, which was the hottest day of the
season. While people have complained of
the heat during the past two days, it has
been cool at this station compared with
what it has been at other points in the state
Jesup reported a Temperature of 1902 on
Friday and l0l' yesterday, while several
other stations reported 90. The average
temperature here has been below the aver
age every day this month, with the excep-
ton Of Friday, when there was an excess of
L. There has been deficiency of almost
two inches of rain this month, and with no
prospects Of gaining during the next few
days
The total departure in temperature since
Jan. l, is 90, a very slight departure from
the normal, which very few hot DAYS like
Friday would soon wipe out. There has
been heavy departure in rainfall, amount
ing 10. SOB inches, which it is not likely
will be overcome.
1t Is somewhat remarkable that there
was rainfall at but one station in the
Savannah district yesterday, and that at
Jesup where the maximum temperature was
reached of l01', and copious rain fell there
registering L30 inches.
There are indications of a slight cool
spell for the early part of this week which
will be welcome TO those who have swelt-
cred under the heat of the past two days.

Trousers at prices that sink the revenue dis
cussion into insignificance. When articles
of daily use can be sold at such prices, there
is no reason why every man in the city
can't supply himself, no matter how mar
row his means. Messrs. Levy & Bro. are
not Offering old or shop-worn stock, but
genuine new and stylish goods, that have
accumulated from broken suits and other
wise, into volume that rivals the u. S.

honors of this country. the attention Of the
whole United States is now centered on the
republican convention, to be held June 10Th,
at Chicago, to see who will be the oppo-

are such as to continually keep the minds of
