CLEVELAND A WINNER.
NEW YORK WILL 60 FOR him By
FROM $4,000 TO 10000.

Col John F. Gaynor, a Former En-
thusiastic Hin Man. Says Tammany
is Loyal and New York Will Give q
Great Majority-He Counts on Wis
consin and Half of Michigan. With
Illinois a oss.bIlity-Hil, He Says,
VIII Take the Stump for Cleveland
at the Proper Time-Cheering News
From the West,
Col John F. Gaynor OF Syracuse. N. Y,
who was u member OF Gov. Hills staff and
who was an ardent supporter OF the New
! York senator for the presidency, arrived
here direct from New York city few days
ago. He brings good news about the polit-
ical situation in the Empire state.
! Col. Gaynor was at Chicago and went with
Senator Hill to the last ditch, but now be is
as enthusiastic a Cleveland man as can be
found anywhere
while the party did not nominate the
man OF my choice, said Col. Gaynor, 81 am
| one Of those democrats who believes 10 party

individual New York is just as sure to 60
democratic in November as the sun is to
shine. l have been among the politicians
OF Tammsny recently, and l know my
ground when | say that the great organiza-
ton will stand Loyalty by the nominations
and roll up u majority for Cleveland and
Stevenson that will almost take the breath
from the republicans"
How large majority do you expect to
see New York give the democratic nomi
nees," Col Gaynor was asked.
Anywhere from 25,005 to 10000" he
answered. land have money TO bet the

carry New York, D." continued Col. Gaynor.
but they will have New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Wisconsin and half of
Michigan, with q splendid chance for
Illinois. | don't understand how anybody
can doubt the result. Cleveland is as sure,
in my opinio !, of being the next President
as the fact that the earth itself exists.
"Some people are criticising Senator Hill
for not taking the stump in Clevelaud's in
terests, but they are little premature. He
is ing TO take very important part in
the election OF Cleveland. At the proper
time he is going TO take to the stump AMI
carry on one of the most vigor 3us cam
paigns this country has ever witnessed. Hill
Is democrat In every sense of the word
and be will acquiesce to the will of the
people"
Mr. r. NJ. Hicks returned to the city last
night after three wee6s' tour OF the wes5

FORTY TONS AT OLD PRICES.
Hardly Half the Ice Consumed Sold
at Advanced Rates.


at Advanced Rates.
The statement In Yesterdays MORNING
NEWS that sit was said that Mr.. George
Meyer had demanded the entire product of
the Crystal Ice Company" on the strength
Of a contract made early IN the season
stirred up a considerable commotion among
the Ice men OF the city. The statement,
which had beeu given considerable
publicity prior to publication, ap-
pears TO have been incorrect so
far as Mr.. Meyers securing the whole
| output OF the Crystal company is con-
cerned. His contract calls for only a stipu-
lated amount, less than one-half Of the
daily output Of the company's factory.
! Mr.. w. q. Cooper, president Of the COM
pany, stated yesterday that Mr.. Meyers
contract calls for but ten tons day, while
he output is twenty-five tons. I'VE will
be able" said he, Ito supply all our Gus
| toners as we'll as to Ill our contract with
Mr.. Meyer. The Crystal will stand up to
its agreement with the other ice companies,
| and the Combination Will be maintained"
Mr.. Meyer furnished the following card
as exactly describing the situation so far as
he is concerned:
"In yesterdays MORNING NEWS appears
local item stating that l have demanded
the entire product Of the Savannah Crystal
and as your informant is badly in error and
evidently is seeking to place the Crystal In
ridiculous light, desire TO state the fol-
lowing facts: On or about Nov. l6, 1891, at
conference between the management
OF the Crystal company and my
self, and while l was still bring
Ing natural Toe to this market
they contracted with me to furnish me all
the ice necessary for my customers and my
a AND nj N
certain amount daily, for one year, in
consideration Of which l retired from the
ice business in favor Of the Crystal COM
pany. The bitter fight among the COM
panies this winter and spring resulted, as
usual, in a combination and advance In
prices. All the same the Crystal is fulfilling
its contracts TO the letter"
The total capacity of all the Ice com
panies in the city is about $50 tons daily,
and the average daily output is about IS
tons. II his is the amount OF ice Savannah
consumes on a very hot day. That is about
three pounds of ice for every man, woman
and child in the city. The greater portion
OF this is used for refrigerator purposes,
however.
When the combine Of the ice companies
and the increased prices OF ice were an.
nounced the Savannah Brewing Company
notified its patrons that they could secure
ice at she brewery at the old rates. The
brewing company has capacity or about
thirty tons daily, which it supplies to It's
customers at Is cents per 100 pounds To
save his custom Mr.. Meyer was
compelled to demand of the Crystal
Ice Company, the fulfill ment of its contract
with him for ten tons of ice daily, which
IL agreed to do.
This makes about forty tons of ice daily.
or about one-half the local consumption
that is being supplied at the cd prices The

SHOT AT TEE PORTER
A bneman Fires Three Bullets at 8
Negro for Insulting Him.

A LAneman Fires Three Bullets at q
Negro for Insulting Him.
Word was brought to Savannah last
night by the passengers on the Central train
from Atlanta Of a shooting at Millen yester.
day afternoon that caused quits a sensation
in that town.
Dick Barclay. the negro porter on the
train, had some words few days ago with
w. r. BARLEY, q hueman Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, in which Mr..
BARLEY was, SO he considered, greatly in
suited by Barclay.
BARLEY got on the train yesterday al
Macon. When the train reached Millen.
his home, he got off, and Watching his op-
portuuity, started for the porter With pis-
toll. Barclay darted under the train. which
was at a standstill, pursued by BARLEY
who fired three shots at him. The porter
took refuge in the baggage car. Only one
OF the shots struck him, making a flesh
wound in the leg.
The citizens OF Millen ran out at the
sound OF the shooting armed with guns and
winchester rifles prepared for a riot
BARLEY would have pursued the negro into
the baggage car had he not been prevented
by the citizens OF Millen.
Barclays wound was 30 slight that he
performed his usual duties on the train on
the way down.
Cunning for Central railroad car porters
seem TO be favorite sport with the resi-
dents along the line Of the road. This ia the
second case OF the kind recently.

Suggestions That Receiver Conner
Does Not Regard With Favor.

Does Not Regard With Favor.
Some person writing over the nom de
plume Of Stakeholder !" and claiming to
be stakeholder of the Central railroad,
attempts to spring sensation in a card IN
the Augusta Chronicle Of Friday morning,
| In which several sensational statements are
made. After some gloomy predictions Of
the future Of the Central railroad. includ-
ing the disposal Of the road at a re-
ceiver's sale, and the entire loss OF
| their Investment by the stock and debenture
| holders. "StockholdeTn goes on to state
that he "has gotten information from relia-
! bic partiesn 10 the effect that while Gen.
Alexander was temporary receiver OF the
Central railroad, the Louisville and Nash
vile offered through its president, Mr..
Smith, 60 take the Central railroad assume
all Of its debts and obligations and ray to
| the Central railroad stockholders the same
dividends received by the stockholders Of
the Louisville and Nashville, at that time
21S per cent semi-annually. This PROPOSE
ton was well thought Of by
Gen. Alexander, says 'Stockholder," who
| urged its acceptance. 1t was not accepted,
| neither was anything heard OF it at the
time, though the air was full Of railroad
| rumors
The same proposition, 1t Is said, was nfter-
ward made TO Mr. Conner and declined by
| him. Mr.. Conner, however. offered TO ac'
cept upon the condition of per cent. or
| d per cent ANIMAL guarantee. President
Smith declined TO give this on the ground
| that he did not give IL TO his own stock
holders, and saw no reason Why be should
give one to the Central stockholders
Stakeholder" goes on TO bewail the
short-sg hteduess Of the receivers in not
accepting such a desirable offer and pre-
venting the direful asequenc 8 OF a
receivership, with sale and reorganiza-
ton.
He sis further informed" however, shat
| It Is not too late to have such an arrange
! ment made with the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company" and considers it
the duty of the stockholders to assemble
together and put the machinery for such
transfer in motion.
The Augusta Chronicle, in commenting
editorially upon the card suggests that 1t
might be a good idea for the Central to
turn loose some Of its Improbable proper
ties, including the Georgia railroad and the
Port Royal railroad
Receiver Conner was seen yesterday about
the matter and he said that the Louisville
and Nashville had never made any such
offer that be knew Of, and il any offer OF
the kind was being held out he knew
nothing OF it. Mr.. Conner does not
believe IT would be good policy
for the Central railroad to unload its proper
ties and prefers the opposite policy of pre-
serving the system intact.
IL looks very much as il feeler Is being
thrown out by certain parties TO see what
chance there is for the Louisville ana Nash
vile 20 get possession Of the Georgia railroad
and the Port Royal and Augusta railroad.
SUCH result is not at all likely, however.
