The Invitation Accepted.

The invitation to the public to come and
see the De Soto piano on exhibition at the
Ludden &c Bates s. ID. H. yesterday, was
very generally accepted, and everybody
was captivated by the elegance and beauty
of the superb instrument. The selection of
the Chickering for Savannah's new hotel is
another testimonial to the established ex-
cellence Of that make Of piano, and demon
strates the fact that the Ludden & Bates
music house can furnish instruments of the
most elaborate design and construction.
The De Soto Chickering is in
Louis XVI. style, with ivory finish
and gold trimmings corresponding
to the finish of the drawing-room. The
decorations on the piano are done in
tapestry Of exquisite design. The panels
are handsomely painted, and the chair
which goes with the instrument is white
and gold to match Such piano is not
often seen, and while on exhibition the
ware-rooms of the house will doubtless be
crowded. The L. &c B. S. M. H., however,
are famous for cir hospitality, and will
be pleased to have everybody come.

ON HUNTERS TRACK AGAIN
Off After Him In Texas-Dr. Cox's
Financial Troubles,

Financial Troubles.
The officers are on track of Cowboy
Hunter again. When Hunter was arrested
in New Orleans the first of last week, he
gave up part of the money that he drew
out of the Southern bank here belonging to
his uncle, and was released. He is now
wanted for forgery. The last heard of him
be was in Texas. He was formerly from
San Antonio, and he may have gone there
As soon as he is located and can be arrested,
he will be brought back to Ge 1rgia.
1t is understood that his 'irregularitiesn
in connection with his uncle'S business have
been going On for a considerable time, and
the shortage which he has caused in the
business will reach a large amount. Dr.
Cox, Hunters uncle. has lost heavily from
the confidence which he placed in 81 his
nephew.
DR.. Cox is financially embarrassed, and it
Is understood that he held the paper of a
large number of butchers and cattiemen in
the city for large amount Attach
ments were issued yesterday for whatever
of his property that could be got at. DR..
Cox's stock yards and stables on West
Broad street are understood to be
n the hands Of one Of his creditors, to whom
they were transferred. There are various
estimates Of the amount of DR.. Cox's liabil-
ties, and they are placed all the way from
1000 up to as high as $780, although
the latter figure is believed to be an exces-
sive estimate.
DR.. Cox has been doing business in
Savannah for q long time, and it was gem
orally supposed, very successfully. 1t is the
talk that young Hunters connection with
the business caused his failure. How much
Hunter got away with and what the extent
of his irregularities are, is not known yet.
1t is understood that he will be brought
back to Savannah if he is caught by the
Southern lbank officials.

MORE DELAY AT QUARANTINE.
The Citizens Sanitary Association
Looking Into the Matter.


Inspector Desvergers Of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, ia his report of foreign
vessels inspected from Oct 20 to Nov. has
submitted TO the committee of public health
OF the association statement from Capt.
Johenssen Of the Norwegian bark Monica,
tina his vessel cleared from Rosario, Ar
gentine Republic, Sept. S in ballast for
| Savannah.
When the vessel left Rosario. the
weather was so cold that ice
every night, September being cold month
in that climate. During his STAY, and when
! he left Rosario, Capt. Johenssen said that the
place was perfectly healthy. He cleared
with a crew OF twelve men, all told, and
reached Savannah on Nov. % with the
the same crew, and there was
not case OF sickness on
! touched at but one port during the voyage,
and that was Barbados, perfectly healthy
port, and renal red there but two days.
When he reached the Savannah quaran-
tine station the captain was informed that
his vessel would not be permitted to pass
up To the city until she had discharged
her ballast. There was no berth at the
quarantine station for the vessel, and the
captain had 70 wait from Nov. s to %, fif-
teen days, before he could get his ballast
discharged. The vessels bill of health
showed that she had left and touched only
healthy ports, and, therefore, he
regards his detention for fifteen days
at the Savannah quarantine, and
the extra expenses to which he
was put, 50 unjust that he would not charter
for Savannah again, even If he should be
offered $1,000 above freight rates. He
stated that bis vessel lay from Nov. to
Nov. II, three days, before the quarantine
officer came on board, and then only after
he had gone TO the quarantine station in the
vessels boat.
There were four other vessels lying in
the roads the same length of time, and
Capt. Johenssen had to take the quarantine
officer to them in the vessels boat before
they could be boarded by that officer, owing
70 the unttness of his boat for the service
He says that the time Of his vessel and crew
is worth to HIM s55 per day, and his loss by
detention alone amounts to $S25, and that
he cannot estimate other expenses, such as
extra towage and pilctage. because he has
not yet got the account of them from his
consignee
