SavannafTs Rush of Business Greater
Than Ever Known.

SavannafTs Rush of Business Greater
Than Ever Known.
A MORNING NEWS reporter, who took a
turn around the city Yesterday found some
things about Savannah's business which
are interesting to the general public, though
they are pretty we'll known already to the
business men.
The river is lined with shipping, loading
and unloading freight. The wharves of the
Ocean Steamship Company are piled high
with merchandise Of every description. The
warehouses, compress and railroad yards
are mled with cotton, and an immense Quan-
tity Of lumber and naval stores is being re-
ceived for shipment The railroads are
handling the heaviest kind Of freights and
are taxed to their utmost to handle the
freights offered them
Last weeks receipts Of cotton at Savan-
nah were 63, 06A bales, the largest number
ever received In any one week in the city's
! history. Tbs receipts of naval stores we're
ahead OF those in the corresponding week
last year and were very large nearly 4, 000
casks OF spirits being received, and nearly
| IL, 900 barrels OF rosin.
A representative of one of the commercial
agencies said that the prospect is that this
| increase in receipts of cotton and naval
| stores will continue, and that Savannah
4
be far ahead OF any previous year.
Both Bradstreet and Dun's agents report
that Savannah's Wholesale and jobbine
trades have been heavier this fall than ever
before, and that Savannah houses have
pushed into territory hitherto untouched by
them. A larger number of men have been
put on the road than ever before, and terri
tory hitherto considered tributary to Other
cities has been invaded.
While the grocery trade has been very
heavy this fall and continues to be so, the
extension of territory and increase of new
business has been especially marked In tn,
| jobbing trade, in the dry goods lines, boot
and shoes. The carriage and wagon COM
panies are also doing an immense
and largely increased business. The heavies
orders for the fall trade have already beer
placed but business still continues good anc
a large number Of men are now on tn,
road.
Collections have been fair, but not heavy
on account of the stringency in the money
market. which has been especially felt il
the south. The tightness in money matter
has prevented as rapid payment of bills a
| was desirable

In AND ABOUT THE CITY
WALKED TO HIS DEATH.

A Central Railroad Hand steps in
Front of an Engine and Is Killed.
Jacob Pearson. a colored truckman in
the employ OF the Central railroad at the
Gordon press, was run over and instantly
killed by q. switching engine at the Wadley
street crossing, near the main wharf Of the
Ocean Steamship Company, about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
Pearson wes trucking cotton in company
with a number Of other hands to and from
tie presses, it being necessary for the hands
TO cross the Central railroad elevator track
in going backward and forward. he was
Ia the lead Of q gang OF four with O bale Of
cotton upon his truck, and reached the
track just as switching engine No. l79 was
running backward and coming toward him.
The engine was about twelve feet from
Pearson and was moving very slowly,
when he attempted to cross the track with
his bale. He had gotten just between the
rails when the truck stalled, and before be
could push IL across the track he was
struck by the brake beam, knocked down
and dragged several feet, one Of the wheels
passing over his neck and killing him in
stantly.
Several of the hands who saw the engine
approaching called to Pearson not to cross,
but be paid no attention to them. Several
men shouted 10 the engineer TO stop his
engine, and the fireman, who saw the man
attempt TO cross, cried out to him that
somebody was going TO get killed. The
engineer put on BRAKES aud reversed his
engine, but was too near the man to stop in
time.
The engine stopped about ten feet beyond
the place where il struck the man. 1t ap-
peared like pure foolhardiness on the part
OF Pearson. His fellow laoorers said that
he had been sober during the morning. An
empty pint flask was found in his coat
pocket, however, which may or may not
account for his action.
Acting Coroner Eaughtin was notified,
and held an inquest upon the body in the
afternoon. The testimony, as brought out
by the coroner's jury, gave substantially the
same account as the foregoing. 1t was
shown, however that fiagman is not sta
toned at this crossing. The jury
failed to agree ON a verdict, nine
OF the jurors, including the foreman,
signing a verdict to the effect that Jacob
Pearson came to his death by the wheel of
tender attached TO engine 179 of the Central
Railroad and Banking Company of the
State of Georgia. and we consider it care
leesness on his (deceassd's1 part"
Three of the jury dissented from this YER
dict.
The body was turned over to Pearson's
friends, who expect to take it to Montgom-
cry, Ala, has former home.

THE WATER QUEENS" SUCCESS.

The Play TO be Repeated This After
noon and Tonight.
Kiralfy's "Water Queen" drew one of the
largest audiences Of the season last night
The theater was filled from the stage to the
top gallery. The piece is peculiar in its
construction. resembling the pantomime,
though the typical harlequinade is absent.
The plot deals with a good fairy. who
protects the mortal hero and heroine
of the play from the Vaccinations
of an evil demon, and finally
triumphantly vanQuishes him. The scenery
was painted by the best European and
American artists and possesses unusual
beauty. The submarine stalactite grotto
is exceedingly dreamlike in its effects, " bill Q
the enchanted forest is a novel and weird
representation of bewitched trees, with
skeletons, enchanted birds, witches, etc.
The final Transformation, depicting the four
seasons, Is a piece of scenic art, with its
changes and its beautiful allegorical
tableaux The play has none of
the Questionable features which some PLAYS
of the spectacular class have. The ballet.
which is the principal feature OF the water
Queen" is a large one, that has been well
drilled under Mr.. Kiralfy's personal super
vision. The dancing won hearty applause.
The performance OF the Dares and the
Warshauer boys were excellent
Mr.. Kiralfys engagement in Savannah
was for but one night, but in view of the
success Of the performance last night, and
the fact that many people, having prepared
themselves for the circus today, will want
some kind of amusement, the manager has
arranged TO give two performances to-day
"a matinee and night performance The
matinee Will be special performance for
ladies and children.

OUT IN TWO BY A TRAIN.

A Colored Boy Killed ee the Charles
ton and Savannah Junction.
A little negro boy was killed by the At
lanta fast freight on the Central railroad at
the Charleston and Savannah junction
about 8 O'clock yesterday afternoon. The
trainmen did not see the boy at all, and the
body was picked up by the switchman at
the junction.
From the position OF the body and other
circumstances the railroad officials believe
that the boy attempted TO get on one of che
cars to steal ride and fell between them,
as he would certainly have been seen by the
engineer and fireman II he had been on the
track in front.
The switchman saw the boy sitting of
on one side of the track shortly before the
train passed. The train always slows up
at the junction which. as the boy knew it,
gives strength TO the superstition that he
attempted to get on the steps on the side OF
one of the freight cars. The body was out
half in two through she middle.
The boys father came into the city and
informed Acting Coroner Naughtin of the
killing and he will go out this morning and
investigate the case.

Latham, Alexander 81 Co.'S Handsome
Publication.
The seventeenth annual edition of SCOT
ton Movements and Flucsua:ions," by
Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York.
has just been received by the MORNING
NEWS. As usual, the publication is beauti-
fully bound in gilt, and will make a hand
some addition to any merchants library.
1t contains many interesting statistics not
found In other similar publica lions. 1t also
has very interesting article from Thomas
Ellison, the celebrated English statistician.
q d the annual crop report Of the New
York Commercial and Financial Chroni-
Gle, which has been noticed in the MORN
ING NEWS. The portraits and biographical
sketches of Thomas Allen of Memphis,
James s. Richardson of New Orleans, La,
aud William ID. Cleveland of Houston.
Tex, all well-known merchants of the
south identified with the cotton trade, are
new aud distinctive feature of the book.
Messrs. Latham, Alexander and Co. in their
review of the last cotton crop and itsmar-
keting, give the size Of the crop at 1901, 2S1
bales, valued at 1878, l6l, S31, of which the
valus OF that exported foreign was $3.50, 561,
3S4, and of American consumption at Sl22,-
594, 497. They also show that the exports Of
cotton from this country exceeded in value
those OF any other staple, which goes To
make them Of great importance in the mat
ter Of foreign exchange, and that while
the demand for other staple products is
large or small according to the varying
needs OF foreign countries, the demand from
abroad for cotton is constant and growing
in volume, and without heavy annual ex-
ports OF cotton the balance of trade would
De largely against the United States.
The book is altogether creditable to the
authors, aud like everything else they do il
represents thorough appreciation Of their
subject.
