Epstein 3 Wannbacher.

One of the largest and most important bust
ness houses on Bay street is the wholesale
establishment of Messrs Epstein & Wanu-
bacher
These gentlemen do large business in Gro
ceres, Liquors, Cigars and Tobacco and keep
their salesman on the road throughout the en-

more, perhaps, in advertising the city than any
one house in Savannah.

trade is growing larger each year. They now
sell goods in Georgia, Florida and South Caro-
lima and will. in the near future, place their
goods in other states.
Bay street has long been noted for its solid
business men, aud none stands mora prOmi-
nently than Messrs. Epstein & Wann5acher

Eleven Jurors for AcQuittal and One
for the Conviction OF w. P. Smith.
W. 7. Smith spent a quiet day in jail
Yesterday Doubtless he is glad TO be re-
lieved Of the suspense during the long trial.
There was considerable gossip over the
failure Of the jury to agree. 1t was stated
at the time the jury was discharged it stood
eight - fonr in favor Of acquitt4l, but it
was learned later on that it first stood nine
to three in favor Of acquittal
When the jury was charged and retired
about II O'Clock Friday night, vote was
taken in the jury room. 1t stood nine TO
three favoring acquittal. The three who
disagreed were Joseph MaGniOn, Thomas
Hunter ami J. J. Carolan. Shortly after
midnight the two last named went over 70
the nine who were in favor Of acquittal,
leaving NJ. ManuiOn the only juror for con-
viction. An Of Saturday was AIKEN up in
discussing the case, but at nigItfali the
vote stood the same way-eeven for &C.
quitJal and o q for CONVICTION.
Mr. Mannion hung on the definition Of
justifiable homicide. He asked to be re-
charged and Judge Adams was sent for.
and the jury was re-charged. Justitiabis
homicide was made an especial point OF the
charge. After the charge the dissenting
juror said that be was satisfied that he was
right in holding to the opinion he did aud
that he would stick to it, There was no
change in the vote when the jury was dis
charged yesterday morning by Judge
Adams, and mlstrini was declared. The
jurors were pretty well worn out yester-

MAI. sCHwABz AS A FINANCIER
A Point Which is Worth Considera-
ton by Voters.


SAVANNAH, GA, Jan IS. - Editor
Morning Ne,cs: There cannot be
a property-owner within Savannah's cor
porate limits who has not deep interest in
the management of the city's finances, 80 the
burden of taxation may be made as light
as possible. With this truism in view, let
us compare the two candidates for the may
orally.
During Mr.. Thomas six years Of service
as an alderman, he has always been MEM
Der of the finance committee of council, and
no man in town is more familiar than he is
with the monetary problems connected with
the city government, or haS done more to
reduce taxation and to give the people the
fullest benefit for the money collected from
them. Ills bust ess record, no less than his
career in courcil, atrestS his skill and
knowledge rs a hnancer.
Can the same be truthfully said about
Maj SchwaTz! He has been elected alder
man oftener than any other citizen of Sa-
vannah, but how many times has he been
appointed, or thought to be competent, to
serve on the finance committed And did
not Maj. Schwarz get the financial affairs
OF the regimental armory into almost
inextricable confusion, so much so as to
require the services of an accountant to
strengthen them outl And was not the cost
Of that armory largely increased by reason
Of the majors inefficient direction of its
financial alfairsg Apd, finally, can we
reasonably expect Maj. Schwarz to preside
over large interests more successfully than
he has done over small ones! have not
the slightest personal animus against Maj.
Schwarz, who possesses many excellent
qualities, but business is business, and the
test OF fitness should be applied to candi-
dates for office, especially in q campaign for
tho chief magstracy of a growing and inn
por' ant city like Savannah.
Fellow taxpayers, think over these things,
and promote your own interests and those

THE ORANGE MARKET FLAT.
The Local Market Glutted and the
Fruit Selling Cheap.

''Heah dey is.
81 got EN-"
''Sweet an juicy
Fresh an fine"
"Only five fur fl cents"
This is what short, stumpy little colored
fellow shouts to everyone that passes him
He is stationed at the corner of Congress
and Barnard streets with a cotton basket
"chuck" full of oranges
Less than three weeks ago the demand for
oranges was long way in excess of the
supply, and the price ran up TO SO IS per
box. During Christmas week people bought
what oranges they conld and paid almost
any price for them. Many were unable to
get them at any price. They were not on
the market.
1T is a thing that rarely, if ever,
happens in the south, and especially in
Savannah" said produce dealer yester-
day. Usually during the HOLIDAYS the
market is full of fruit, and oranges are in
the lead. The demand for them never
slackens during Christmas and it really
looked odd to see no oranges on the market
this season. We cannot account for the
limited supply. Our shippers were notified
of the condition OF the market, but from
come. 1t may have been due
to the transportation. For the past two
weeks, however, the market has been
glutted, and oranges are going begging.
Oranges that have been bringing as high as
$3.50 per box are drug on the market now
at 81.
One firm received 1870 boxes few DAYS
ago Of as fine fruit as has been shipped to
Savannah this season, aud they are going
very slowly at 81 per box. The freight per
box from Florida is GO cents, besides 10 per
cent. commission, 80 that the shipper is
getting little profit from shipping oranges
to this point now.
An orange grower was in the city last
week, but after making a tour among the
fruit mon he decided to hold what fruit
he could until the market is better and ship
the balance north.

''MR. JOHNSON. OF PITTSBURGH

Two things may happen-as the unfortu-
nate Mr.. Richard Goebler, Of Butte City,
found out the other day, to his sorrow and
loss-either Of which viii put him in peril.
He may rely on his own shrewdness, which
is. doubtless, sufficient to stump around home
with. and, for the sake of "seeing life," may
20 nosing around where no really high
minded person would care to go, or the
bunco men, always on the lookout for
chance, may chance to get it. They are
keen, shrewd experienced and inscriptions,
and If they can elude the police, which they
are forever trying to do, and sometimes sue
coed in doing, they are tolerably certain to
get the better of the average countryman by
some means.
The means they employ have been describ-
ed so often and so fully that it seems almost
ridiculous to do it again, and yet the sub
ject can hardly be discussed without the de-
scription. The way in which the least So
phisticated man on earth may escape from
them is Sc simple and has also been told So
often that it seems "vain repetition" to set
it forth again, yet it is an admonition that
can hardly be given too many times. This
is the infallible rule, then. 1t is Inspector
Byrnes' own, and needs no Endorsement of
mine Moreover, it is the very plainest,
simplest common sense.
''To escape buncoing, don't talk to stran-
gers, especially on the street, and be partic-
ularly careful to avoid answering any man
who pretends to know you and calls you by
a name which is not your own. If you re-
member this and act on it, and are careful
not TO show any considerable sum of money
anywhere, the bunco men won't bite you"
As 10 their method of work, it is almost
stereotyped, and if it did not catch victims SO
frequently the bunco operators would seem
foolish in not changing it, for it Is as well
known as the rule of three. OF course it be-
gins, like Mrs. Glass famous recipe for max
ing hare pie. They first catch sucker"
Several reasons combine to make strangers
and they as often tackle men from other
cities as from the country-their favorite
prey. First, no New Yorker of sound mind,
with money enough TO make it an object to
rob him. is likely to be CAUGHT He will fnov
the game too well. Secondly, the stranger
Will be likely to be lonely, and so more open
to the advances Of strangers. And, thirdly,
the stranger, from his ignorance of the city,
will lose time in making complaint after be-
ing robbed, so giving the robber better
chance to escape detection.
Suppose the stranger, then, to have just ar
rived. and to be walking on the street. Bunco
used to be played in the hotels and bar rooms,
but the reputable places are now all keptclear
of them, and the ferries and railroad stations
are watched so closely as to be practically
safe. Our friend walks along, probably
thinking that nobody knows he is not New
Yorker. He is wrong. There is a subtle
something about every man who isnot New

game" or, if he won't gamble, some way will
be found to induce him to show his money or
put it up in the hands of one of the gang as a
guarantee of something or other. In case
all these fail, our friend is exceedingly likely
to have his head broken and his money taken
away. The ingenious schemes that are put
up to induce the victim to think he is rational
in showing his money or parting with it are
numerous and various, but none of them is
likely to impose on man who has his wits
about him.
The man who has his wits about him, how
ever, as Inspector Byrnes said to me, is not
likely to get into the clutches of these scoun-
drels If he does go to one of their rooms
and is alone with three or four of them, as
he will be, they will have his money before
he will get out. If they can't get it by
trickery they will take it with violence.
what is the real extent of danger from
bunco in New York nov2" asked of the in
spector, after we had chatted over the de-
tails of what is written above.
There is very little, indeed" he replied,
Though, of course, with the rascals continu-
ally looking out for victims, they do once in
while pick one up. That is inevitable. We
cannot prevent all crime, though we have
gone long way toward making this particu-
lar form of it impossible here"
"How have you done it'll"
"We have driven out all the experts. You
have read of more bunco cases lately in other
cities than in New York, haven't youl Yes.
Well, that is because they can't do business
here Hungry Joe is serving a seven years
term in Baltimore, Grand Central Pete is
locked up under Indictment in Brooklyn, and
nearly all the others are scattered around the
country. Any one that stays here knows
that he is under close surveillance and he
does not try the game"
But what is to prevent any criminal from
trying itF'
1.-THE same thing that prevents baker
from making shoes-ignorance. Bunco is a
fine art in crime, and there are really only
very few experts in this art. We know them
all, and know where they are. Of course,
they have confederates, and equally, of
course, there are plenty of men who are I'M
scrupulous enough to bunco a man, but they
haven't the skill. 1t must be an artist who
shall succeed at it.

Yorker that makes it as easy TO PICK MIN CUT
as it is to distinguish a lamp post from tele-
graph pole Nobody has ever explained
clearly what this is, but every New Yorker
recognizes it instantly. In some way our
friend proclaims by his appearance that he is
stranger. 1t may be by his dress or by his
walk, or by his bewilderment at some crowded
corner, when dozens of trains and hundreds
of pedestrians are crowded together in what
our friend thinks hopeless confusion, all try
ing to push their way along the narrow space
left after the electric subway opening has
partially blocked both street and sidewalk
The spider, recognizing our friend at once
as the fly, approaches him. "How do you
do, Mr.. Johnsonl When did you leave Pitts
burg7"
1t is precisely at this point that the most
astute bunco steerer may be easily check
mated If the intended victim refuses to
talk, or in any way to correct the error which
the other man pretends to make, he is safe.
If, however, he follows the natural impulse
and says II am not Mr.. johnson, and don't
live in Pittsburg Ny name is John Way
back and live near Podunk, " the imposter
will apologize and retire in pretended confu-
sion. Then the confederate comes up and
greets Mr. Wayback, introducing himself as
nephew of some prominent man in Podunk,
and claiming to have known Wayback in
that place.
If our friend Waybaok believes this story
and accompanies his old acquaintance 70, as
he will be invited to do, he will pretty surely
become q victim. He will be led under some
pretext into a room, where two or three con-
federates will in some way get his money
away from him. Either he will be induced
to bet on three card monte Ia favorite plan,
though not followed by the bunco men now
as often as formerly, or he will be asked to
gamble in soma bogus lottery or other skin
