TIE NEW CANNING FACTORY
OF the Osmler Oyster Company -.

OF the Oemler Oyster Company.
The public know very littls of the i'm
mense amount of work done by the above
company since its organization. Hundreds
of thousands Of bushels of oysters have been
planted in Wilmington river, just in front
Of Wilmington Island. These have been
tested recently and the condition of the
growing oysters found to be unexpectedly
satisfactory.
This means large crop Of oysters, and in
anticipation Of the large business 10 be
done site on Wilmington Island has been
purchased and preliminary steps taken for
the erection on the island at once Of a can
ming factory. This factory will employ
about 300 hands at first, which, with their
families, will add largely to the population
of Wilmington Island.
The oyster industry is bound to be a very
important and profitable one here and the
state is doing all it can to protect it. This
factory on Wilmington, which must be the
center OF operations Of this kind, is only the
first of many others which must soon fol-
low.
During the summer time IL is proposed to
use the factory for canning vegetables and
fruits. Wilmington is noted for its fer
tility, as has been abundantly proven by
the immense crops made by DIR. Oemler and
others who have engaged In truck planting
upon the island. These sort of ENTERPRISES
are making Savannah an important and
attractive place for capitalists and for
homeseekers.-Ad

THH SOUTH BOUNDS STATIONS.

The Road Already Doing a Good BUSH
ness as Far as it is Completed.
The South Bound railroad is now receiy-
ing and handling freight for all points on
its line this side of the Savannah river. The
necessity for the road is shown by the i'm
mense amount Of business It is handling,
being taxed to its fullest capacity.
The South Bound opens up a large terri
tory to Savannah which was heretofore
only accessible by boats and wagons, such
as Springfield, Sisters Ferry and other
landings on the river. It is the most acces-
sible freight route TO more than one-half of
bingham. The freights are received by
the Central at its warehouses.
All of the stations east Of the river have
been named as follows:
MeinLard, eleven miles from the city,
Ripcon, twenty miles.
Still well, twenty-five miles.
Clyo, thirty-two miles
Kuklux, thirty-hve miles.
The stations beyond the river are Gar
nett. Estill. Fairfax and several inter
mediate stations not yet named. The sta
tionr beyond the Port Royal crossing have
not vet been named.
The road has given some very valuable
land along its line for town sites Al an
early day there will be many thrifty vii
lagos springing up on the South Bound, as
the country it traverSes has very rich lands.
which need but proper tilling to become
quite profitable.

SLAIN BY AN ASSASSIN.
WATTS GIBBONS tCoLoREDD MUR-
DERED FROM AMBUSH.

His Body Found Alongside the savan-
nah, Florida 81 Western Railway
Track Near the Five Mile-post-rhe
Murdered Mans Market Basket,
Filled With Groceries, by His Side
No Clew to the Murderer.
Watty Gibbons, a colored man about 40
years old, was murdered night before last
by some unknown party near the five-mile
post on the Savannah. Florida and Western
railway. Gibbons was shot in the back of
the head with large musket ball.
The body was found yesterday morning
by a colored man named Collins The dead
man was lying on bis face on the side Of the
track with his hands outstretched, and from
his appearance death must have been in
Simultaneous.
Gibbons was a well-known fisherman.
He lived at Belmont, and came into the city
Monday TO purchase groceries. he ives on
his way home with them when he was
killed. The basket of groceries was found
lying alongside Of the dead body, together
with an empty basket.
MOTIVE OF THE MURDER.
The motive for the murder was not rob-
berry as nothing was removed from Gibbons
body. In one Of his pockets was found 20
cents. The party who killed him evidently
did it from spirit of revenge. There were
no footsteps near the body. and the theory
is that the murderer stood in the trees on
the side OF the track TO commit the cowardly
crime.
Justice Naughtin. who is acting coroner
during the absence Of Coroner Dixon. went
out TO the scene of the crime and made an
investigation. It was impossible for him
to obtain any clew 10 the murderer, as no
one In the vicinity had seen Gibbons until
his dead body was found yesterday morn
ing.
VIEWED BY THE CORONER.
No inquest was held, as IL would have
been useless under the circumstances. JUS
tice Naughtin turned the body over to
Matilda Wilson, sister OF the murdered
man, who lives at Kingsville.
Gibbons was killed near the place were
the hacked body Of an unknown negro was
found several months ago. Many persons
lean to the theory that it was the same party
who murdered both men. 1t IL probable
that nothing more will be heard of this case
as the crime was committed beyond the
city limits.

RESIDENCES AT HIGH PRICES.

Important Sales OF Real Estate in the
Last Few Days.
There has been considerable stir in real
estate in the last few weeks. The largest
sales have been of residence property.
J. L. LaFar has sold his residence on
Gwiunett street to Mrs. Seaborn Jones for
$4,000.
The residence of the late E. F. Neufville,
at Castor and Habersham streets, has been
sold to j. A. Bates for $4,000.
James Sullivan has sold his residence at
Abercorn and Taylor streets to Mai. l.
NJ. Warfield for $12, 900.
Mrs. Emma Hopkins has sold one of the
new residences recently erected on CASTOR
street to Capt. s. J. Whitesides for SIS, 900.
William Wade has sold his residence on
Jones street, near Drayton, to r. A. We'll
for S13. 200.
These sales indicate the increasing values
OF residence property. New residences are
building a handsome residence on Jones
street, between Bull and Whitaker. Mr.
A. e. Smith and Mr.. H. Traub are
building two handsome residences
on CASTOR street near Abercorn. Mr.. L. Ga
zan Is building fine residence on Jones,
near Drayton.
In the southern part Of the city, where the
residences are mostly frame, the activity in
building is Of course greater.
The grading and paving OF Henry street
has made it one of the handsomest avenues
south Of Castor street. The paving
Of Castor street will add great
ly to its appearance and will
increase the value Of property. When Bull

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions Free kindergarten.
The free kindergarten OF the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union opened this
week with Miss Julia Pelot in charge. There
are ten little children In attendance, but
the supporters OF the institution expect
more than double that number shortly. The
school is held in the rooms on the second
floor Of the Won1an's Christian Temperance
Union building, No. ia Broughton street.
1t is intended for children 3 to years of
age Of respectable working people who have
no one to attend or look after them during
the day. The object is to save these little
children, who are too young to attend the
public schools, from the influences OF the
street.
The children are taught by object lessons
and illustrations. and important truths
brought 70 their minds in a very simple
way.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is holding It's gospel temperance
meetings on Sunday, Wednesday
and Friday nights at the rooms.
A great deal of work has been done
in the way Of fitting up the rooms. A
great deal more remains to be done, but the
funds of the union have been exhausted.
Donations Of secondhand furniture in good
condition for their lodging rooms are desired.

ONLY FOR THE VESSELS VALUE.

The q. s. Supreme Court sustains
Judge Speer in the Katie Case.
The United States supreme court handed
down decision Monday in the steamer
Katie case sustaining Judge Speer in re-
fusing to grant the prohibition prayed for
by the plaintiffs attorneys, Denmark,
Adams q Adams.
The case grew out Of the burning of por-
ton OF the Katie's cargo Oct. 10,
1887, while the steamer was
aground on a sand bar. The oonsignees
Of the cotton brought suit against John
Lawton, owner Of the steamer, for the value
of the cotton lost or damaged. Through
his attorneys, Chisholm, Erwin & duBig-
non, be claimed exemption under the linn
tied liability act of congress Of March 8,
1851, afterward amended by the act OF June
10, 1886. This act holds that where q vessel
is carrying on an interstate traffic and Is
burnt or wrecked the owners of freight
can recover no more than the value Of the
vessel after the accident.
The attorneys for the plaintiff denied the
constitutlonality Of the act as far as the
Katie case was concerned, holding that 1t
was not carrying on an interstate traffic, as
1t only piled the Savannah river. They
asked for a writ of prohibition, but Judge
Speer refused to grant the request, holding
that the act covered the case and the Katie
was not liable. An appeal was taken to the
United States supreme court, which upheld
Judge Speer. r. G.. Erwin appeared be-
fore the court for the Katie.
The decision is looked upon as quite i'm
portant, as it settles long disputed Ques-
uon as to whether or not q vessel plying a
stream like the Savannah, and taking
freight from South Carolina landings, was
considered to be doing Interstate business.

lands right around Savannah are all taken
up. and nothing is better evidence Of their
value than the high prices they are held at.
Few Of the truck farmers around Savannah
would sell their lands for less than $50 an
acre, and from that they value
them up TO $500. Maj. Ryals
says he would not sell his at any figure.
There are plenty of lands. however, back in
the country and along the lines Of railroad
which can be had at from IS TO $25 an
acre. and more at the former figure than
the latter. These lands make just as good
crops as the lands around Savannah.
ALONG THE RAILROADS.
Along the lines Of railway is where the
future growth of the truck business will be.
The truck farmer must have convenient
transportation facilities. The system
by the county commissioners
is annually opening up large tracts Of land
for cultivation. These old swamp lands
make the very best truck lands, having a
deep. rich SOIL and are eagerly sought after.
The man who comes here to go into the
truck business will be able to find all the
land he wants at reasonable prices.
No city in the south is better situated for
truck growing than Savannah. What the
truck farmer requires is quick transporta-
ton and access 70 a number Of markets
Savannah affords both in a high degree.
1t has the best steamship service OF any
city south. With four steamships a week
to New York, two every week TO Balti-
more. one to Boston and one
may take his Choice of the four largest
eastern markets. The Ocean Steamship
Company has done much to encourage the
truck and fruit growing interests Of this
section, and TO this company is due a great
portion Of the present magnitude of this
business, moi only in this county but in
other parts Of Georgia and Florida.
The truck farmers speak in the highest
praise of its efforts in their behalf.
QUICK SHIPMENTS NORTH AND WEST.
The main southern "Green Line" the
Plant system. runs right through Chatham
county. This system makes a speciality Of
the truck business, and offers the
farmers every inducement 1t puts
up station platforms all along its line for
the accommodation Of shippers. The Gem
trial railroad is now carrying large por-
ton of the truck raised here to the west.
With ventilated iron cars and fast
schedules it lays freight down
in Cincinnati. The Savannah. Florida and
Western completes with the Central TO the
west from Savannah via Jesup and the
East Tennessee. With ths best Of railroad
and steamship accommodations the truck
farmer can have nothing TO complain of in
thissline.
The truck crop of this season is hardly
half moved yet The Ocean Steamship
Company has so far shipped 1858 crates
and 10. 900 barrels of vegetables, and the
railroads have shipped nearly as much.
The farmers are shipping their potatoes
slowly, and not more than one-third Of the
crop is harvested.
The end OF the season will show a big in
crease over last years crops.
