AFTERNOON SESSION.

The first witness called by the prose-
cution in the afternoon was w. II. Tay-
lor, one of the members of the relief
committee. Mr.. Taylor gave about the
same testimony concerning tho hand
ling of the relief supplies that has
already becn given over and over again,
his concluding testimony being as fol-
lows:
never was inside tho tent but once;
there was no one there at that time cx-
cept Mr.. Hayward. Mr.. Hayward was
employed by the committee the next
day after the fire. He was to take full
charge of the supplies and distribute
them upon orders from the committee.
do mol know that express instructions
were ever given MIR. Hayward not to
distribute supplies except upon orders
from the committee. Mr.. Hayward had
authority to appoint his own subordi-
natcs, Tho committee held regular ses-
sions. do not know thnt goods were
even given out ON oral orders nom the
committee. Supplies are still being is
sued from the tent, The distribution of
goods was not in all cases

Scalsklns For England.

The most valuable consignment Of
merchandise ever handled by any
Western railway was secured by the
Union Pacific at San Francisco last
week. The shipment consisted of
forty carloads of sealskins consigned to
the care of the Union Pacific Railway
company for transportation 10 England
by the Alaska Fur Company. str
The shipment is the product of the
company's ''catch" for last year, and
the skins, thoroughly dried, were
packed closely in the cars, which were
sent out in three special trains for
rapid transportation. The time agreed
upon In delivering the consignment at
it's destination is eighteen days from
San Francisco, SO that the special
trains will make the same time on the
overland route that the regular ex-
press trains do. BY railroad men II is
said to be the most valuable shipment
of merchandise that has ever crossed
the continent.

There was no dispute oyer the indeb-

cratic legislators were simply opposed
to paying. The reasons they gave for
their opposition wero varied and &C.
centric. One old fellow, wearing a
choker collar and full suit of black,
said during the last campaign that he
had heard Garland tell stories that

that the State should vote the money

Mistakes Of a Letter Writar.

In the New York Times of April % there
is letter dated Savannah, April p, in
which there are several st4teme ats that are
misleading. For instance, the writer saws:
I'm the winter months Savannah has an OK
cepnonally fine climate, aud many north
erners spend the cold months here: but IA
mild mslarial poisoning OF the atmosphere
exists from April TO November. This is
undoubtedly due to the presence of the
great Ogeechee swamp and the want Of
drainage the e.
As a Instter OF fact, summer in Savannah
is as healthy as any other season Of the
year. Indeed, il Is the testimony Of physi-
clans and druggists that there is very little
for them 10 do during the warm season and
the death rate shows that there is no
Healthier city in the country in summer
than this. Years ago there was considerable
sickness in the suburbs, Attributable 10
malaria, during the summer, and cases Of
chills and fever were not uncommon, but
since extensive drainage work in the
vicinity Of the city has been done and arte-
sian water has been introduced, nobody
hears anything about malaria in the city,
The Ogeechee swamp is more than sixteen
miles distant and nobody here has
ever heard it mentioned IN con-
nection with the health Of the CITY.
Writers who are careless about facts fire.
quently do great deal of injury without
intending 10 do so, and the general tone Of
the letter IN the Times indicates that there
was no purpose on the part of the writer OF
il 10 do Savannah an injury. Nevertheless,
he has succeeded in creating an impression
among the readers of the Times that is un-
favorable to Savannah so far as health IS
concerned.
He says, in speaking Of the Salzburgers-
and his account of them Is rather interest
ing-that they are socially ostracised
from the rest Of the southerners on account
Of their extreme views and ways of hv-
ing"
II they are ostracised the fact is not
known in this city or this state. On the
contrary, they ara esteemed very highly
and are held in the greatest respect. II is not
considered that there are any better people
or more desirable friends and neighbors
than they are. They are warmly welcomed
wherever they go, and they have all the
friendship and kindness shown them they
could possibly desire. They arc pretty
widely scattered now, but wherever they
are they are among the best and foremost
citizens. The assertion that they are ostra-
cised is nonsense. The writer of the Times
letter was either unfortunate ia his
attempts 20 express his meaning, or obtained
his information from sources not entirely
reliable.

Tho agitation Of the question Of removing
the capital Of Florida TO a more central
location which was begun in the legislature
Of that state last week by representative
Bitch, of Marion, wia not die out quickly
! nor is it likely TO bear fruit at an early day.
/ TIE capital Of Florida has been located at
/ Tallahassee too long to be easily removed.
! 1t is a rather difficult matter to change the
location Of long established county seat,
d it is g much more difficult matter 10
move the capital Of a state.
/ There are, no doubt, some very strong
arguments in favor of chang lg the locA-
tion OF the capital of Florida, the strongest,
perhaps. being that it is now far away
from the center Of population. and heavy
tax is imposed on the people of the state on
that account in going 10 and from it, and
for mileage of legislators, but it may be
answered that it Is impossible to deci lie at
present with any degree of certainty where
the center of population will be half
century hence. Florida's development be
gan only a comparatively few years ego,
aud the center of population is changing
all the time. Twenty-Five years hence
Ocala may be as far away from the center
of population as Tallahassee now is.
That there is quite a strong sentiment in
favor Of a change, however, IS sho n by
the vote Oh the motion TO table Dir. Blitcu'S
resolution providing for submitting the ques-
ton to popular vote. III the resolution
had not named Ocala it might not have
been tabled, as there are a good many
towns that will be candidates for the state
capital should the prospect Of change be-
come very promising.
Tallahassee has several things in her
favor One is that she has been the capital
a long time, and another is that she occu-
pies healthy situation. II Will st good
deal Of money TO erect new state house,
and the people will hesitate a long while
before voting for it. They will be inclined
10 think that it is advisable TO wait until the
increase in taxable property will enable
them to erect state house Of which they
will have reason to feel proud. While it is
advisable, other things being equal, TO have
the capital of state as nearly IN the center
Of the population as possible, the fact can
not be overlooked that in very few of the
states is it so located. The questi IN Of the
capitals lcclticn has been raised IN Florida,
and there is not much doubt that the agita-
ton Of it will be continued until il is settled
for or against Tallahassee.
