The lights were out in the keno room

This is the keno room mentioned in the
MORNING News few days ago.
A MORNING NEWS reporter had a talk
with Mr.. Osborne yesterday and found him
firm in his purpose to put stop to gambling
in Savannah and to the keio game esps-
cially. Since Mr.. Osborne has been acting
as solicitor-general the keno rooms have
been in constant fear of raid. This,
however was not his plan By investigation
he discovered where the gambling rooms
were and who were ruDning them, and
so he says, obtained sufficient evidence to
convict every one connected with them
He then notified the property owners of
these places that gambling rooms were be-
ing run in their property and that IA stop
must be put to 1t or he would make c ses
against them as owners Of the property and
every one connected with the game, il he
had to sue out the warrants in his own
name.
Mr.. Osborne held regular levee at his
flee day before yesterday, at which sport
ng men were his principal visitors They
did not attempt to conceal the fact that
gamhling had been conducted in their estab.
Ia lishments. but they agreed to close up at
once and discontinue the business
for good if thsy were let
alone and the matter was not
prosecuted further AS the rooms have
been closed Mr.. Osborne will not proceed
further on his own responsibility unless
they are reooened, but some of the gam
blers win probably be indicted by the grand
jury.
The sporting fraternity are considerably
worked up over Mr.. Osborne's action, and
their wrath is all the greater because they

How Two OF the Boys Were Hustled
Of.
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday is
responsible for the following:
The "Mishap" company played in Savan-
nah Monday night.
Yesterday morning, after taking their
departure for Augusta, it was discovered
that two members Of the troupe were not
aboard the train.
They were Messrs. r. e. and ]. E. Gala
han. One Of thea does the part of Henry
Saunders" the other impersonating q
Chinaman and cabrnan. Besides, they sang
as first and second tenor in the Garden City
quartette. 20
They were important members, and the
management began telegraphing at once.
The result was that special engine was
secured, which left Savannah during the
morning, reaching Millen in time for the
missing actors to catch passenger which
left there at $3.50 o'clock and reached
Augusta at $50 O'Clock.
The engine cost the "Mishap' company
quite a snug sum, but most of it will in all
probability be shouldered on the tardy
actors in the shape of fines.

PINE STRAW BAGGING.
Exporters Claim That It Discolors the
Cotton.

Exporters Claim That 1t Discolors the
Cotton.
A petition has been sent in to the board OF
directors OF the cotton exchange, calling
their attention to the fact that cotton baled
in pine-straw bagging, when moistened or
wet, has the effect Of discoloring the cotton,
thereby damaging the bale to a greater or
less extent " hen 1t comes in contact with the
bagging, and that this is especially the case
when the bale happens to be compressed.
The petitioners say that 1t is a matter which
should be looked into and a thorough ex-
animation made of it, and they ask the
immediate action of the board on it. The
pc .ition was signed by pretty much all of
the exporters.
A committee was appointed by President
Overton to examine into the matter, and
report back to him. The committee
saturated some pine straw bagging with
pure artesian water, and wrapped the bag
ging around some cotton, placing it in a
lstter-press over night, and the
cotton In immediate contact with the bag
ging was found to be very much discolored.
They then examined compressed cotton
covered with pine..straw bagging, and in a
bale which was somewhat moist from the
rain it was found that the pressure Of the
compress caused liquid fluid to be squeezed
out of the bagging of a dark brown
color, which, of course. to some
extent discolored the cotton with
which it came into immediate
contract After these tests the committee
made a report back TO the exchange yester-
day in accordance with the above tests, and
which report is now in President Overton's
hands for future consideration and action
on the matter.
1t is thought that such discolorations by
the use of pine straw bagging will disap-
pear when the cotton becomes thoroughly
dry. 1t makes but very little difference,
however, as an exporter remarked yester-
day, as the bulk of pine straw covered cot
ton has already been used and gone for
ward, and there will be less Of it from
now on.
A factor said that the exporters have
made more out of the matter than there
really is in 1t, but that it was the custom
every season with exporters to bring up
something TO kick about, and that pine
straw bagging is no exception to the rule
Last season, he says, there was considerable
cotton shipped Gin pine straw bagging,
aud there were no complaints made
about the cotton being stained,
and it will be time enough for
the trade to meet such complaints when
they are made from the other side. The ex-
porters, he said, had been spoiled by the
previous seasons experience. At the be-
ginning of the season they kicked on cotton
bagging, but when they found a profit in
recovering with jute one could not supply
them with cotton covered bales enough, and
they made a regular contract with the
congresses to cover all their cotton covered
with cotton bagging with jute, thus
adding twelve pounds to the weight Of the
bales, and were paid for the extra weight
at the price of raw cotton; besides they got
rebate of cents from the government on
every bale exported in jute covering. and
that this is the real milk in the cocoanut.

River pirates and sneak thieves have
been getting in ihsir work on the river
during the week, with no arrests thus far.
Last Tuesday night, about IL o'clock,
policeman noticed negro going
up the bluff from River street
with . heavy bundle under his arm
The officer hailed the negro and made in
quiries about the bundle, and when the
policeman started toward the negro the
latter threw down his bundle and took to
his heels. On an examination the cop saw
that it was q fine tarpaulin which
had been stolen from some vessel.
The policeman secured the services OF
q negro 10 convey the tarpaulin TO the bar
racks, where it was held to await claimant
Yesterday morning Capt. A 7. Young of
the schooner Ida Lawrence, lying at the
wharf between Bull and Drayton streets,
reported having lost a tarpsulin, and when
the policeman's find of tina night before was
reported to the captain, he went to the bar
racks and identified his property,
when 1t was turned over 70 him.
The thief evidently knew the ropes,
as he went aboard the Lawrence during
Tuesday night, where the steward OF the
vessel found him, and on questioning him
the negro said ne had been sent aboard to
swing lighter ahead Of the schooner, as it
was lying outside of the vessel. The
story looked plausible enough, aud the
steward did not thereafter give himself
much concern about the thief's:: movements.
On Monday night some sneak went aboard
the tug Maud, and going into the engine
room where the clock was sc -ewed to the
wall he wrenched it from its fastenings and
made away with 1t, and the Maud is with
out ticker IN consequence.
Thieves boarded several Of the lighters of
the Savannah Lighterage Company one
night last week and cut the lines, stealing
several very valuable hawsers. The COM
pany's officials say that such thefts are of
frequent occurrence. but none of the thieves
can be caught up with.
