TO PUSH FOR RATES.

Savannah's Claims as a Tourist Re-
sort to be Urged.
The board Of trade at its meeting yester>
day appointed committee consisting of
John R. Young w. w. Chisholm and J.
P. Williams to prepare O memorial to be
presented to the rate committee OF the
Southern Passengers Association, which
meets in Atlanta Tuesday, asking that Sa>
vannah be accorded tourist excursion
rates, putting the city on a
footing with Jacksonville, st. Augustine,
Townsville and other points as tourist
resort.
The matter was brought before the board
of trade by Mr.. Chisholm, in a resolution
calling for the appointment Of memorial
committee. The Importance of securing
tourist rates for Savannah is recognized by
business men, and a strong memorial will
be presented TO the rate committee.
lC is likely that the cotton exchange will
take similar action TO that taken by the
board of trade. President Warren is thor
oughly imbued with the Importance of the
movement.
The next step to preparing the memorial
to the rate committee is the securing If q
committee to present it, and to urge Savan-
mains claims. It has been suggested that
committee representing the board of
trade, the cotton excha ge and the city
council, go before the committee and sup
| plement the memorials WITH an Argument
| for the granting of the rates asked for.

HEARING HIS DOOM.
1t was exactly $50 o'cl OK when Judge

ordered DosSon TO stand up. W hen the
prisoner arose he trembled psrceptibly and
c ossed his ha 4ds on his breast. be was asked
If be had anything to say why the sentence OF
the law thould not be pronounced upon
him. Dotson did not seem to understand
the question, aud took a step toward the
Judges desk, and asked what had been said.
Judge FallIgant repeated the question, and
the prisoners voice trembled with emotion
as he replied he had not.
Judge Faliigant told the prisoner that he
had plead not guilty t. the charge, and a
jury had, after careful consideration, con-
demne1 him He cJnside Ell the verdict
just one, and while it was just he had not

placed himself IN sucn position.
TIE FATAL WORDS.
Judge Falligant told Dotsjn th6 ne
hoped he would prepare himself in the in
tervening time between tue sentence and
execution to meet his God, before whom
he had ushered his victim without word
Of warning. He then passed sentence as
follows:
Whereupon it is ordered, considered and adj
judged by the court that you, Lucius Dotson.
BE- taken hence by the sheriff to tle common
jail Of Chatham county. and there safely con-
and that, upon said day. to wit: on the said 233
day of January, 1891, you be taken
by said sheriff, and, upon
gallows erected under the supervision
of the proper authorities of said county you
be hanged by the neck until you are dead, aud
may thu Lord have mercy on your soul
IL is further ordered that said execution do
take place between the hours of 10 O'Clock in
private. in the jail OF said county 1t is further
ordered that the sheriff OF said county have at
least one physician OF said county in attend
ane- upon said execution, to determine when
death intervenes.
NEW TRIAL ASKED FOR.
Judge Falligant seemed much affected in
passing sentence, and as soon as he con-
GUIDED Mr.. Morrison filed motion for a
new trial, which will be passed upon at an
early day.
Dotson, the condemned man, is a brown
skinned negro about feet 8, weighing
about $50 pounds, with a repulsive counte-
nance
The execution of Dotson will be the first
one in Chatham county in seven years, the
last one being that of George Wallace, a
negro constable, in 1888.

OPPOSED TO COMBINATIONS.
The Board of Trades Action on the
Whitfield Bill

The Board of Trades action on the
Whitfield Bill.
The board OF trade did not indorse the
Whitfield bill yesterday, but announced
itself opposed to all combinations of
, insurance companies for fixing rates.
Vice President D. G. Purse presided at
the meeting in the absence of President
Haas. He stated that its object Was to
discuss the Whitfield bill to prevent the
pooling of rates by insurance companies.
after which the bill was read In full by
Superintendent Howard.
j. d. Weed moved to indorse the bill.
The motion was seconded by r. d. Guerard,
Mr.. Guerard asserted that insurance COM
panies had greatly increased their rates
since entering the combination On some
property Of bis. he said the. rate had been
raised from to 20 per cent, and on other
property IL had been raised from IA to
per cent. He did not believe the SIS. 600
deposit requirement is necessary, but it
rather helped the combination BY keeping
other compa lies out of the state.
j. Z. Williams and S. s. Guckenheimer
took an opposite view of the question. Mr..
Williams believed that the deposit law in
sures safe d reliable insurance companies,
and that it has driven the wild cat COM
panies out Of the business. He did not see
how law could be framed that would pre-
vent the insurance companies from having
an understand & with each other. Agree
ments could easily be made in New York
and the pu bic be none the wiser.
Mr.. Guerard argued that insurance rates
are unreasonably high upon residences prop
erty. upon which there is comparatively
little risk
w. W. Chisholm also argued that the
rates on dwellings are unreasonably high,
| considering how little risk there is and how
well equipped the city fire department. Is.
Mr.. Weeds motion indorsing the bill was
| put to vote anu was lost.
| A substitute by Mr.. Glerard, making no
| mention of the Whitfield bill, but opposing
| combinations, was after amendment by
John r. Young, passed as follows:
Resolved That this meeting is opposed to
combinations Of Insurance. companies in fixing
| rates of Insurance.
Iceso Ced, That in the opinion OF this meeting
law repeating the law requiring a deposit OF
SS50OO from insurance companies would brin ?
about competition and lower rates of insur-
ance.
RESOLVED, That this meeting favors the pas
sage OF an act creating insurance commission
ers Tor Georgia to pass upon the condition of
all insurance companies before permitting them
10 DO business in this state.
Resolred, That copies of these resolutions be
sent TO our representatives In the legislature
ana TO the press OF the city.

s. o. Parker. white man, about IS years
old, was turned over to the superior court
from the mayors court yesterday morning,
on the charge of forgery.
Parker was in Savannah the tins the last

into Wimberly's TRUNK factory on Brough>
ton street and bought an IS valise, and
gave in payment a $40 check, signed by
kSvanaugh & Brennan and drawn in favor
of himself. The check was accepted and 50
change was given on IL.
The next day the fraud was discovered
and officers put on Parker's track, but he
had left the town. Day before yesterday
Mr. Wimberly heard that Parker was IN
town, and that he intended taking the
Charleston train at night. In company
with Detective Basch he went down to the
Charleston train, where Parker was
found and arrested. Detective Basch
found iosids of the rim of Parker's hat a
clipping from Jacksonville paper, giving
an account Of his arrest there on the charge
of passing a number Of small drafts on
banks of other cities signed with his own
name. In this manner he had def auded a
large number of people Of small amounts.
When asked how he got out of the Jack
sonville business, Parker said his brother,
who is in business at Leesburg, compro-
missed the matter.
Parker is well dressed and takes his arrest
easily. His prospects are bright for several
years OF higher moral education in the
penitentiary.
