ARBITRATING AS TO TAXES.
Supt. r. G. Fleming Of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Is in Atlanta as the
CentraPs representative in the arbitration
between the Central and the controller gen.
eral as to the formers tax returns. 1t seems
that Receiver Conner returned the
Central railroad for taxation at the rate of
$4,000 per mile this year. Last year it was
returned at 200 per mile. Comptroller
General Wright thought the valuation too
low and made an assessment himself
increasing the return made by the
receiver. The Central appealed against
this decision.
A board of arbitration was resorted to-
Capt. r. G. Fleming, superintendent of the
Savannah, Florida and Western, was Sc
lected by the Central as its representative
and Hon. Tyler Peoples of Lawrenceville
was selected as the representative of the
state. Hon. Joseph Warren was chosen as
the third member Of the board. The arbi-
traitors are now in session in Atlanta and
will render decision shortly.

THEY WANT TIE OLD RATES.

Wholesale Grocers to Protest Against
Increases in Cost of Insurance.
At meeting of the Wholesale Grocers'
Association, at its rooms, No. 1879 Bay
street, this afternoon, the new and increased
rates Of insurance will be discussed.
The rates on mercantile risks have been
increased from Is to 80 per cent of the old
rates, and the merchants complain that
they are excessively high. At the meeting
to-day 1t Is proposed to consider the advisa-
bllity of preparing a statement and for
warding IL to the agents and the officers of
the insurance companies, pointing out the
improvements that have been steadily made
in the ire service of the city and asking
for a return to the old rates.
If the companies decline to comply with
this request there is disposition apparent
among merchants to seek elsewhere for in
surance among reliable companies that
have no agencies in Georgia. There is also
some talk of q local cooperative insurance
company, but there is little inclination APP
parent 20 enter into such project.

EUROPE GUARANTEED.
SAVANNAH TAKES STEPS TO KEEP
OUT CHOLERA.

Health Of1cer Drummer Places AL Con-
tipental Ports Under the Ban-Those
of Great Britain Excepted-The Pilots
Given Strict Instructions in the Mat
ter-If Necessary Savannah VIII Be
Isolated From the World TO Prevent
the Introduction of the Plague.
Savannah is the first southern port to
take steps to prevent the introduction OF
cholera.
Health Officer Drummer put on a rigid
quarantine yesterday against all the ports
of continental Europe. The ports OF Great
Britain are excepted, and should the slight
est suspicion arise as to the latter the quar-
antine regulations will be Immediately put
in force against them.
The pilots were notified TO take all vessels
from continental ports, except those
hailing from the places excepted,
TO quarantine as soon as they
srrive. Here they will be detained
by Quarantine Officer Huger and put
through thorough course Of disinfectlon
before being allowed to come up TO the
city. The pilots are also warned that In
case any vessel reports suspicious Sickness
aboard she shall be Immediately dispatched
to the government station at Sapelo, and
kept there until all danger is passed.
A COMBINED QUARANTINE.
Health Officer Brunner's prompt action
will meet with the approval Of all citizens.
Everybody is aware that vessels are con-
stantly arriving here from Hamburg, Rot
terdam. Havre and other ports now claimed
to be infected with the fearful scourge, and
Savannah cannot afford to be careless in
the matter of throwing the most rigid safe
guards around her people.
Health Officer Drummer said he hoped all
the ports of America will combine in en-
forcing the strictest kind of quarantine
regulations against Europe. If this is done
he believes the cholera can be kept out OF
the country, but otherwise there is ID grave
possibility that it may reach our shores and
play havoc in the larger cities. The health
officer intends, should the cholera reach any
of the northern cities, 30 extend the quarau-
tine regulations at once to the cOastwise
vessels. II necessary he will entirely
isolate Savannah from other ports 60 pro-
tect her people from the fearful epidemic
which is now ravaging Europe.
Health Officer Drummer understands that
the quarantine will, TO a certain extent, in
terfers with the shipping interests, but he
rightly considers human lives OF greater
Importance than dollars aud cents.
One vessel arrived here from Hamburg
day before yesterday, but as she cleared
from that port July IA there is not the
slightest danger to be feared from her.
Other vessels are bound here now from the
infected ports, and they will be overhauled
as soon as they get in sight.

| Otherwise Merchants Are Made Co.
insurers With the Companies.
| Anew provision has been introduced into
| all insurance policies now issued to mer>
chants. 1t is what is known as the IS per
cent. reinsurance clause. The exact
phraseology varies in the policies issued by
! the different companies, but the meaning is
/ the same in all.
| Several business men called the attention
Of a MORNING NEWS reporter TO it yester-
day afternoon. From one OF the policies
the new clause was copied 10 reads as fols
lows:
It is part of the consideration of this policy
and the basis upon which the rate of premium
Is fixed chat the assured shall at all times
maintain total insurance on the property In
sured by this policy of not less than rs per cent
OF the cash value thereof las covered under the
several items of this policy, and that failing TO
do so the assured shall become consumers TO
the extent Of the deficiency. and in that event
shall bear their proportion of any loss occurring
under this policy.
las IL has been In the past =" said one
merchant in explaining the clause, "if
carried 500, 900 worth Of goods with only
$4,000 insurance, and a fire damaged the
stock to the extent OF $4,000 or less, re-
ceived from the insurance companies the
full amount of the loss Now it ID different.
Under the same circumstances now, with
myself for one-third of the loss,
and would receive from the insurance
companies but SS3, 1888 SO. although paid
them premiums on insurance amounting to
$4,000. In order to get $50, 900 on loss OF
$4,000 with a stock Of 100000, l must
have at least S75 900 of insurance. 1t
would be the same proportionately with any
other values. In other words, the companies
simply force US to insure to at least three
fourths of the value OF our stocks or to
suffer along with them any loss though it
may be covered several times over by our
policies. OF course there is nothing
for us to do but to submit. By this means
the companies will doubtless considerably
increase their gross receipts. Business men
who take the chances of losing considerable
on a total destruction of their establish
ments by fire will not care. in addition to
that risk, TO also stand the chances of being
compelled 10 suffer along with the insur-
ance companies on a partial loss"

Eady and Hill Tried for Murder-No
Agreement Yet.
William Eady and Seymour Hill the
colored constables who killed Wash Floyd
in Dutchtown several weeks ago, were tried
or murder in the superior court yesterday.
The case lasted all day and was given TO the
Jury at o'clock. At l o'clock this morn

Jury, it is said, stands eleven for aoquittal
and one for conviction of involuntary man.
slaughter.
The evidence produced against Eady and
Hill was identical with that which was
brought out before Justice Warning Russell
Jr., at the preliminary examination.
The prisoners set up the plea of justifica-
ton on the ground that Floyd resisted
arrest, assaulted them and tried to escape
George w. Owens, Esq, prosecuted the
case, and Solicitor General Fraser took no
active part, except in going on the stand for
the defense to prove that be had authorized
Eady and Hill TO act as officers for the pur-
pose of apprehending Floyd and Ella Flow
era on the charge Of murder. Mr. Owens
had been endeavoring TO prove that the
prisoners had acted without authority.
The details Of the killing Of Floyd by the
constables are we'll known to the public and
have been already published in the MORN
ING News. Floyd was charged jointly
with Ella Flowers in whipping little Annie
Hill to death and when the colored con-
stables went TO his house TO apprehend him
he assaulted them with a smoothing iron
and while trying to escape they shot him.
Seabrook & Morgan defended Eady anC
Hill, and Mr.. Morgan made a strong speect
in their behalf Mr.. Owens pleaded hare
with the jury for a conviction.
Judge Falligant's charge was favorable
TO the prisoners, and the spectators ex
pected verdict of acquittal in a few
minutes, but they were disappointed.
verdict may be reached this morning.
