NOT COMING THIS WAY.

The Three Americas Delegation to do
Their Junketing in the North.
As the delegates from South America
and Central America to the International
Congress of the Three Americas are not
likely to come south no action has been taken
by the two commercial bodies of this CITY.
Pensacola, Charlest IN, Nashville, Birming-
ham, and other cities have sent invitations
to the delegates to come south, but Savan-
nah, while ready to welcome the distin-
guished visitors, has taken no steps to bring
them here, as it has heen felt that they will
not come south at present, but may when
the great international exposition attracts
them to this country again, three years
hence.
President John r. Young of the board of
trade said yesterday that it is too late now
to attempt any formal action of the board
of trade, and President f. e. Bloodworth
of the cotton exchange said tdat no action
has been taken by that body, and none is
now likely to be taken. If, however. the
visitors should turn southwark before they
return to their homes, Savannah, the first
naval stores port of the world, the second
cotton receiving and exporting port of this
country. cannot be omitted by the delega-
ton in making up their list OF southern
cities to be visited.

ASHORE OFF CAPE CHARLES.

The British Steamer Amy Dora,
Cotton Laden and a Wreck
An Associated Press dispatch from Balti-
more says that advices were received there
from Norfolk yesterday stating that an
unknown steamship was ashore at Watch
apreague inlet, about sixty miles north of
Cape Charles. The vessel is cotton laden
and full of water. The Merritt wrecking
steamer is at work on her.
A Minis 81 Sons received a telegram
yesterday afternoon from Capt. Thompson
OF the British steamship Amy Dora, dated
Keller, Va, saying that the Amy Dora is
ashore near Cape Charles full of water, her
rudder gone, and that a northeast gale and
heavy sea Is on. The Merritt Wrecking Com
pany's wrecking tugs are alongside the
steamer, which Is probably the same
steamer reported by the Associated Press.
The Amy Dora was cleared from this
port Sept. 30, by Minis g. Sons, for Genoa,
with 400 bales of upland cotton, weighing
2,340,9 1868 pounds, valued at $239,31S. She
sailed Oct. l, and was evidently going into
Norfolk for supply of coal when she
struck. She will PROBABLY prove a total
wreck, but IL the weather is favorable her
cargo may be saved by the wrecking COM
pany. The Amy Dora was one of the
oldest traders among the foreign steamers
coming to this port. She was / ,104 tons
net, and was of iron, and built at New
castle in 1875. She hailed from North
Shields, where she was owned by Jos.
Robinson 81 Sons.

A CRUSH AT ALTMAYRR's.

The Big Establishment Thronged All
Yesterday and Likely to be To-Day.
Altmayer had the first crush of the season
yesterday. 1t was the firms fall opening,
and an opening day at Atlmayer's is like an
Emma Abbott matinee-the ladies are all
there. The big store was full of people
from the basement to the top floor. Every
department was crowded until there was
hardly moving room. The view from the bal
cony looking down upon the crush Of people.
and upon counters and shelves filled with
goods, was brilliant one. People moved
here and there inspecting and purchasing.
The store itself was beautifully decorated.
More tastiIy arranged salesrooms would he
difficult to find. Several days were spent
in the preparation for the opening. and Mr..
Adler, the managing member of the firm,
was complimented by everybody upon the
display. The show windows were filed
with every kind of fine dress material. silks
and velvets, cloaks, hats and readv-made
gowns. An approximate value of the ma
terial in the windows alone is not less than
$1,000.
The millinery department is a special
feature Of the opening. Cloaks in all the
latest and prettiest styles, the stock approx
imating in value $4,000 to $4,000, and
ready-made gowns, are new feature of the
business. The entire second floor Of the
building is entirely devoted to millinery.
The fall styles in hats and bonnets are
prettier than ever, and Altmayer has on
the list every conceivable style that has been
brought out. The ready-made dress depart
ment is q new feature, and one that prom
ises TO take In Savannah. Altmayer is
preparing for run in that department.
The dress goods, trimmings, silks and
glove departments on the first floor, and
also the notions and shoe departments and
the furnishing departments we're crowded.
The kid glove stock alone represents
$4,000 to $4,000. The establishment ives
rushed in every department, and the eighty
five clerks were at times wholly unable to
attend to the wants of the purchasers, to
say nothing of the crowds of people who
went to see the styles The opening will be
continued to-day.

A BRILLIANT DISPLAY.

Jackson, Metzger & Co.'s Show Win
dows Draw Big Crowds
One of the prettiest show windows that
has ever been decorated in Savannah is
that of Jackson, Metzger & Co., at Brough-
ton and Whitaker streets. The attention of
passers on Broughton street was directed
yesterday to the artistically arranged
display. Twenty suits of goods were
displayed in the window, but they approx
mated $500 in value Three of the suits
were goods imported direct from the Paris
exhibition. They sell here for sos and $40
eacn. Nothing in the window ranged lower
than $25. Herman Parsons had charge of
the decoration, and it was a most ar
tistic effort. Mr.. Jackson has just returned
from New York, and he saw nothing finer
there. He is an experienced buyer, and
his purchases were the best goods to be had
In the western corner of the window is a
red suit with embossed trimmings of black.
This is one of the Paris suits. The next
suit is dark color, with embossed front in
light grain. This Is also one of the Paris
suits. The center suit is a new color in
green, with lighter shade of embossed
trimmings. This is likewise Paris suit
One of the features of the display is the
pretty styles of faille silk The plaids which
are gracefully silhouetted in the available
places in the window are very attractive
Another Paris suit is placed at the side of
the window to the entrance and the display
is novel. The color of the suit is serpent
blue, with lighter shade of embossed trim
mings. The store was crowded with Gus
toners yesterday.

THE SOUTH MAKES THE BEST SHOWING.

There are several features about the above
table. That of twenty-seven cities north
and south of approximate population to
Savannah, but one shows lower death
rate, and that is a southern city. Aside
from that exception none show as low a
death rate. The reports do not include At
lanta and Augusta, which make no report
of their mortality. Next of deaths from
zymotic causes but two show less number,
one shows the same, an Ohio city, while
northern cities in the main show a heavier
death rate to the population, and a greater
percentage Of zymotic deaths
Savannah is shown to be a healthier
place by the exhaustive table in the Sani-
tdry Era than nearly every New England
city and town, while of nearly 500 towns
and cities of the north and south only thirty
places show as low or lower number Of
deaths from zymotic causes as Savannah.
1t is also deductibIe from the table chat
southern cities and towns are healthier on
the average than the towns and cities of
the north. A table sho wing the annual
death rate in the cities of British America.
England, Scotland, Ireland and continental
Europe show a death rate in excess of that
of Savannah. The table is one that santa
rlans will study with interest.

The cotton receipts, as reported by the
cotton exchange yesterday, were 14,6O3
bales, the largest ever known for one day
at this port. Supt James P. Merrihew, in

including the receipts of yesterday, foot up
200, 1874 bales, an excess of so, coo bales over
the corresponding period last year, and he
estimates that the October receipts will not
be less than 275, 900 bales.
While the official reports show that only
9,400 bales were received yesterday by the
Central railroad, the actual receipts we're
over IL 900, as over g 900 bales of way cotton
received after the closing hour will go into
the official report of to-day's receipts.
The heavy receipts were the subject of
general discussion among cotton men, and
gentleman remarked: "As Charleston is
al ways boasting of its recsipts the MORN
ING News ought to publish side by side the
receipts of Savannah and Charleston for
Monday
"What were the receipts of Charleston9n
"Only 3, 744 bales to Savannah's 14,6OS,n

A Guyton Negro Finds Death Prefer
able to Living with Two Wives.
Charles Lee colored), about Is years old,
committed suicide at Guyton Saturday by
taking laudanum. When found early in
the morning he was unconscious, and DR..
Lanier was called. but too late to save him.
A jury was summoned by Coroner Brogden.
and the verdict was in accordance with the
facts.
Lee was employed at the turpentine dis
tillery of s. Tison at Guyton, and it appears
that his life was not one of profound
mental felicity, circumstance which, it is
said, was due to the fact that he had a wife
in Scriven county and one at Guyton.
With the latter helpmeet he had some
words, growing out of his avowed intention
to return to wife No. in Scriven county.
and the violent opposition of the Guyton
woman to such a step. She threatening to
follow him led the hopeless Charley to lea We
them both disconsolate by the laudanum
route. The remains were inferred at GUY

TO HUNT UP LOST ARCHIVES

The Historical Society to Try and Re-
cover Property Lost in the War.
The Georgia Historical Society held its
October meeting last night. The attend
ance was small. and but little business was
transacted. In the absence of the president
and vice presidents, Mr.. W. S. Bogart
presided. The principal business was
the appointment of committee to look up
such property of the society as was lost
during the war and the federal occupation
of the city. and as can be found. During
the war some of the society's archives
and its more valuable records and
property were removed from the hall, then
on Bryan street, and were given into the
custody of committee of members for safe
keeping. A good deal of this property has
never been returned to the society, and the
object of the committee is to restore SO
much Of the property as it can find.

At the end of the first week last year
3,OS3 pupils had been enrolled and at the
end OF the first week IN 1887 the enrolment
was 3,155. Superintendent Baker says that
the enrolment for the Massie and Il rnard
street schools, which are the two schools
nearest the southern section of the city,
points to the necessity for the early erection
of new school building on the property
purchased by the school board on Henry
street.
The enrolment of new pupils is an evil
dence of the increasing immigration to the
city. Supt. Baker says that a very large
number of new pupils have be- n en-
rolled who have recently come to Savan-
nah. The fact, he said, Is more noticeable
this year than it has ever been, and what to
do with the increasing number of children

The high school faculty has been increased
three teachers; two new teachers have been
put in the Massie school and six in the
colored schools. Miss Hill has been aD-
pointed assistant teacher in the Massie
school and Miss Tennell to the eighth grade
in the same school. In all of these schools
there has been larger enrolment of pupils
than ever before.
The opening day is devoted to the ENROLL
ment of pupils and the organization of
classes. and to-day the routine school work
will begin. The book dealers were visited
yesterday after school hours and the stores
were crowded with children. All of the
dealers say that the sales of books were
larglr than they have ever been.
