TIE TRADE REVIEW.

For years. on the opening Of each sue
eeeding season, there has been presented
evidence of large increase in Savannah's
business. Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth Of Savannah's
tributary territory, better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement of her two great rail-
road systems. These things will continue to
contribute TO her growth and prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence,
that will make the business year of ls9O-o1
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING News there have been built three new
and important railroads TO Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland, the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But the number of buyers and the amount
Of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants
1.-The advanced condition of the cotton crop
justifies the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking, probably,
of what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING NEWS 10 SEQ who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan-
nah and what they are Offering for sale.
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nab, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade.
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING NEWS proposes to make a
special effort to reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nah's enterprise. The agents of the MORN
ING News are travelling through the coun-
try, and the people are taking the paper
just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them to.
1t is proposed to send copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEK. Y
NEWS, as we'll as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at little more than the usual
price of one.
An advertisement in a newspaper Is an in.
vitation to buyers to call. 1t virtually says,
when you are in town please call on us.
We have all these things to show you"
The annual review will contain the usual
resume of the business of the city for tbs
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands oil
people who are interested in Savannah,
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be ISSUED
Sept. 4. Space in its columns can be OBJ
tanned upon application to the business

from the british Government.
From the Washington Star.
Secretary Proctor has received a present
of new Enfield rife from the English gov
ernment as sample of the style Of arm
now in use in the British service. 1t is
handsomely encased in a polished wooden
box, with silver plates and corners, and
lined with blue velvet. 1t is of the latest
magazine pattern, thirty caliber, and weighs
about ten pounds. The action is exceed
ingly strong and positive, the breecl me-
chanisn being thoroughly automatic. The
magazine is a sheet-iron case half an inch
thick and about four inches square, fitting
to the under side OF the lock. A gate shuts
1t off at the will of the operator, so that the
gun can be used either as magazine or a
single firing arm. 1t is provided with
novelty in the way of long range sight
designed to cover distances from 800 to
$500 yards. but the ordinary sight is not
considered as fine as that in use on the
American Springfield rife. The cartridges
are shaped somewhat after the design of the
famous Lebel cartridge, the leaden ball
being eucased in a thi steel sheet for the
purpose OF preventing the distortion of the
bullet.
The bayonet is of new design. that of
broad-bladed, double-edge1 knife. sharp
ened at the point. IL fits on the gun in such
manner that the sight is not interfered
with, this being new advantage. The
bayonet Is provided with leather shea h

recognized him at sight Clarence w.

party had corner on crabs, as they say
in New York
The light house keeper at the ietty al
lowed them the freedom Of his house and
they appreciated his hospitality. He
was jolly good fellow. The club re-
turned last evening by moonlight. The
catch amounted to nearly a hundred
awkward crabs.

SO far as the census reports have gone
they show a greater relative increase in
population, in wealth and in industries
for the Southern states than for the
Northern states. The New England
states have refrigerated in population
and industries during the last decade.
In the iron industries, comparison
made by the eminent ststistician Carroll
D. Wright, who is assisting Superintend.
ent Porter, shows that wages are higher
in the South than in the North, and that

Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL
New CASTLE, August 80 The Elkton
and New Castle Base Ball Clubs gave
beautiful exhibition of ball playing at
Battery Park yesterday afternoon before
a crowd of 700 spectators. Both clubs
presented strong teams and the fielding
work on both sides was great. The
visitors arrived here in carriages. and
after an hours sharp practice, the game
was called at o'clock by Umpire Parker
of Elkton. Campfelda of the celebrated
Houston club of Chester, was in the box
for the visitors and held the home club
down to four hits, but they were timely
ones, and these, assisted by three costly
errors Of the visitors, brought in six
runs. Elkton played a splendid game in
the feli. the work of Gibson and Z.
Morgan being especially good
Langston did good work for the home
club in the early part of the game, but
his arm giving away, Shelley Of the
Dauntless, relieved him and pitched a
very effective game. Maddens work
behind the bat was superb, he catching
both twirlers with perfect ease. The
playing of Carlin and Shearer was very
strong, the former making two of the
four hits.
In the sixth inning, Shearer. assisted
by Shelley, played a neat trick on Per-
kins, who had just reached second base
that caused roars of laughter. Shearer
tried to touch the runner before he
reached his base, but failing to do this.
he stood over the bag, rubbing his hands
together, with the ball under his arm
Shelley faced the batter aud made some
awful efforts TO curve the imaginary ball
in his hand. Perkins walked ten feet
away from his base, and Shearer quickly
put him out
The umpiring of Parker was very good,
although he made one bad decision
against Vallette, who made wo base
hit, but Parker called it foul. The
score:
