The Investment Company's Subscrip-
ton to the Bureau OF Information.
The Hrst fruits Of .he week Of the efforts
20 provide funds for the bureau Of Iufor-
nation" is an appropriation Of 81 500 by
the Savannah Investment Company. The
committee appointed for the purpose OF
soliciting subscriptions from the various
land companies TO advertise the city, met
the directors Of the investment company
yesterday, and presented the subject. The
committee consisted Of Messrs. J. II. Estill
ID. G. Purse, J. G. Rowland. Lee Roy
Myers and c. II. Dorsstt.
The investment company is one Of the
largest owners Of suburban real estate in the
city, and IL now realizes that the success OF
the effort TO raise sufficient money de-
pended, TO a great extent, on its action. No
argument was necessary 70 show the ad
vantagss TO be derived from the systematic
advertising Of the city. 1t was shown that
by an appropriation Of little more than 1
per cent. OF the original cost Of the lands
held by the several land companies add
reasonable sum from other interests to be
benefited by ths work Of the bureau of in
formation $4,000 or more could be secured.
The investment company agreed to con
tribute g 800, provided s., 500 is received
from ether sources, making $4,000. With
that amount 1t was thought q great deal
could be done toward making the advsn-
tages Of the city known TO those who were
seeking locations in the south. The CON-
mittee was highly pleased with the spirit in
which the investment company directors
entered into the spirit Of the undertaking.

FOR ROBBERY BY FORCE.

The Charges Under Which Minkowitz's
Assailents Are Eeld.
Gwen Jones and Willis Brown, the negro
assailsnts Of the peddler, Minkowitz. on the
Savannah and Isle of Hope road last Tues
day, and who we're captured by Detective
Morgan night before last. an account Of
which appeared in yesterdays MORNING
NEWS, had a preliminary trial before MaRiS-
trate Warning Russell, Jr., yesterday. Both
negroes were turned over TO the superior
court grand jury upon charges OF robbery
by force and assault with intent TO murder,
and were sent to jail in default of bond.
Jones and Brown are two Villiauous look
ing negroes, ard both bear hard reputa-
ton. Each puts the blame Of the robbery
upon the other. but neither deny being
joint parties to it.
Before being committed to jail they were
taken TO st. Joseph's inflrmary. where they
were identified by Minkowitz. They also
identified Minkowitz as the man they had
assaulted. Ninkowitz also identified the
pocket book which was found upon Jones,
as the one taken from him.
The peddlsrs and their friends, the shop
keepers around the market, are highly de-
lighted with Detective Morgan's success in
arresting Minkowitz's assailants. They are
making up purse TO defray his expenses
in working up the case, and as a testimony
OF their appreciation Of his work.

a PROPOSITION TO TaE CITY.
The Warren-Scharf Company Wants
to Finish Bull Street.

The Warren-Scharf Company Wants
to Finish Bull Street.
Lawton & Cunningham, attorneys for the
Warren-Scharf Asphalt Company, have
made proposition to the city 60 finish the
asphalting of Bull street this year and wait
for payment until September.
The board Of aldermen is not inclined 20
have the asphalting of Bull street completed
this year, but whether the proposition of
the Warren-Scharf company will have any
effect upon the haRl determination of the
question remains to be seen.
Mr.. Puffer one Of the representatives of
the Wsrren-Scharf Asphalt Company, said
last night that he hardly expected that
council will accept the proposition. The
total cost Of the additional paving is esti-
mated by Mr.. Putfsr at $4,000, exclusive
of the curbing, but that is not considered a
matter OF any material significance so far
as the acceptance Of the proposition is con-
cernsd. The proposition was only made
orally to the mayor, and as yet there has
been no correspondence between the city
and the asphalt company.
The property owners on Bull street are
DESTROYS that the work should DO done.
Mayor McDonough stated last night that he
does not believe council is favorably i'm
pressed with the proposition as the money
will necessarily have to come out Of the
present budget, but Is pretty certain that
the work will be completed next year,

The unusually disagreeable weather

chants throughout the city. Numbers Of
ladies ventured out yesterday, who had
been penned In doors for several days. The
market was therefore crowded from morn
ing till night with customers purchasing
their Sundays dinner. Logan entertained
and served the majority of the visitors.
The question may be asked why every
body goes to stalls 81 and IS In the market
for their supplies; We will tell you the
reason.
Because II. Logan has the most promi-
nent stalls in the market
Because he keeps the largest stock of
trst~clasS beef; his roasts and steaks are

Because he makes a specially of handling
the finest mutton tho country produces and
everybody knows it.
Because his selections of pork can be re-
lied upon to be healthy and In good condi-
ton.
because he is building up an enormous
business with those choice western dressed
turkeys which are eagerly sought after by
the housewife, and they always give salts

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
The Vernon CompAuy's Lands Com
prise About $50 Acres.

The Vernon CompAny's Lands Com
prise About 900 Acres.
The Vernon Oyster Company organized
night before last, is the second oyster COM
pany to enter the field. which promises to
become one Of the best paying in the south.
The directors Of the company were an
nounced in the MORNING NEWS yesterday.
They are men who will push the enterprise.
The lands which tho company has
staked out, and the leases for which will be
acted upon ty the county commissioners
tomorrow, are in the Vernon, BurNsides
and Gibbons rivers and comprise
about 260 acres. Ten per cent. of
the capital stock of the company
mas been paid in and it Is ready to begin
operations at once.
The organization of the company
was originally thought out by DR.. j.
g. Bullooh. The lands to be leased were
selected by parties whose experience in the
oyster business insures productive beds, and
as soon as the company has sufficient
product from the beds 1t will begin canning.
That will be some time yet, however, as Il
requires time to plant and propagate the
oyster. There is a great field for the oyster
industry in Georgia, and it is being taken
advantage of by men who see what its pos
sibllitles are.

COL FRY's BIG SCHEME.
A Recollection OF II Revived by Pre-
ent Enterprises

Recollection OF Il Revived by Pres
ent Enterprises
The talk of more railroads toward Savan-
nah has resurrected the remembrance Of
the Great Western aud Atlantis railroad,
better known as tie Fry railroad. 1t was
chartered TO run all over creation, especially
that part Of It lying between Savannah and
Atlanta.
In response 70 a call from Col. George W.
Fry OF Atlanta, quite a number Of citizsns
OF Savannah attended q meeting at Metro
politan hall and listened TO that gentleman
discourse on the great railroad Of which be
was the owner (of the charter. He au-
swered very franklyly to a question es TO
what he expected TO get out of the enter
prise that he wanted enough for his efforts
TO make him financially safe for the re-
mainder Of his life He was then IN the
early 40s.
After reasonable vigorous effort IN be-
haI OF the railroad and . very unreRsona-
bic and extraordinary amount OF free ad-
veftlslng from papers that are ever ready
TO help project that promises to advance
the interests of their patrons, Col. Fry and
bis railroad dropped from the public gaze.
Whether or not he made his fortune out of
1t by not building the railroad is not known
as certainty, but rumor has it that the
charter was bought up by an already built
railroad. The colonel is no longer practic-
Tug law in Atlanta, having left that alti-
tudinous city several years ago. Doubtless
he is now enjoying the fruits of his lsbcrs.

only five days to live. A petition is being

printed an advertisement to the effect that
reliable party out Of the city was wanted
to adopt white baby which had been left
in charge of colored woman on Mcclure
and River streets by its parents, who
promised to pay her $40 per month for the
care Of the child.
The baby was leftin charge of the woman
July 9, 1890. Yesterday morning
Deputy Sheriffs Coleman and Nathans
armed with the necessary papers issued
from the ordinary's Office, took away her
charge.
The child. when given to the woman,
was puny little thing. but has developed
into handsome little girl with blue eyes
and fsxen hair. She became
strongly attached to her protec-
tor. and called her mamma" The
woman also became much attached TO the
babe, and when the officers informed her of
their mission, the little one made a strong
protest. Her protest was of no avail, how
ever, and she was taken away TO be legally
adopted.
