NEW YORK. June 10.-Stocks to-day were
given almost entirely to trading, and at the
opening the dealings showed heavy. The trad
ing was confined to a few leading shares. Later,
however, under the stimulus of the good buy
ing tone, the market underwent a complete
change and the prices strer gthened, except in
the last hour. The realizations then sagged off
and the final figures are fractionally lower than
the best prices, bnt In most cases materially
higher tnan the final prices of Saturday.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

The United States Courts.

In the United States court yesterday G.
W, Russell was convicted on two indict-
ments, one for burglary and one for larceny
The indictments were consolidated for a
single trial, which was vigorously contested,
occupying the sessions of the court yester-
day and the preceding day. Mr.. Pease,
counsel for the prisoner, spoke for two
hours, but District Attorney Erwin spoke
only twenty minutes.
On Nov. 9, 1888, brass pump siphon
and parts of machinery were stolen from
Fort Oglethorpe, the property of the gov
eminent, and C. W. Russell and W. C.
Umbach were indicted for burglary and
larceny. The stolen property was sold as
old brass to the junk shops, where a portion
of 1t was traced.
The court has not vet sentenced Russell,
doubtless awaiting the result of the trial of
Umbach, which will come on for a hearing
before jury early next week, Judge
Speer having overruled the demurrer of his
counsel, r. R. Richards, ESQ. He claimed
surprise and was not ready to go to trial
after his motion to quash failed and
Russell was then put on trial. This advan-
tage was not lost to Umbach's counsel as Mr..
Richards took notes of the testimony in the
Russell trial, and when Russell's attorney
demanded of District Attorney Erwin his
authorities Mr.. Richards carefully noted
each one of them down, and the Umbach
trial promises to be the most vigorously
contested case of the term.

The last Of the legislative visitors left for

opinions freely. Some of them were caught
by reporters of the MORNING NEWS.

there is such magnificent city In Georgia.

making appropriations to our seaport. which
does the largest business on the South At
lantic coast"
Senator Johnson Of the Twenty-fourth
district said, 81 think the trip has
opened the eyes of many people who had
the erroneous impression that Savannah,
not having advertised herself like some
other cities, is at a standstill. We have
seen evidence on every hand Of not only her
unbounded hospitality, but her push aud
prosperity

THE general government has been mig
gardly in developing the harbor, which is
cue, no doubt, TO ignorance of Savannah's
advantages and capabilities. Since Ogle-
thorpe landed on her bluffs she has been
peerless IN her hospitality"
Representative Crowder of Monroe said,
Many were ignorant Of what Savannah is,
and were not prepared to see 80 much ship
ping. l had to make some sacrifices to
come on this trip, because l had been from
home so long, but am glad did come, and
not one who came will ever regret it. Sa-
vannah is rapidly rising in Importance as a
great city, and may well be called the
Queen City of the South"
Representative McCauley of Rockdale
said, 1.-THE tripshas been revelation to
me, and if you ask one visitor you will get
the opinions of all. We are all glad that
Savannah is in old Georgia and are proud
of her,"
Senator Alfred OF the Tenth district saws
that Savannah's growth and prosperity is
not news to him. He has watched 1t grow
until it has become the first naval stores

Savannah. He had to send it direct to New
York, as there was no one doing business Of
that kind here at that time. Now turpen-
tine goes from Savannah by every coast
line steamer, and is exported direct in sail
ing vessels and steamships to all parts of
the world.
Representative Calvin of Richmond
county went home to tell his people that
while he thought he was well posted in the
towns and cities Of Georgia, he had not
realized what growing city Savannah is,
how diversified her industries, how ex-
tensive her commerce or how prosperous
the trade she enjoys.

Bulloch County's Railroad Completed

The people of Statesboro. the county seat
of Bulloch county, will hold ratification
meeting and barbecue tomorrow over the
completion of theextension of the road from

twelve miles distant.
The people along the line of the extension
have built the road themselves, and States
boro is rapidly growing. The completion
Of the road is favorably thought of by Ea-
vannah, as the great bulk Of the trade OF
Bulloch county comes to this city, and the
county is one of the most fertile in Georgia.
Now that close rail communication has
been opened between Statesboro and Savan-
nah, the trade relations will be much closer
and more satisfactory, because it will be
mutually beneficial. The enterprise of the
people OF Bulloch is very highly compli-
