Eugenia Natowitz Airs Her Woes
Before Justice Russell.
Eugenia Natowitz, the prepossessing bal
lad singer who used to sing at Winters con-
cert hall, doesn't sing there any more. Eu-
genia had disagreement with her en-
ployer. which resulted in case being tried
before Justice Warning Russell, Jr., yester-

The ballad singer claimed $50 for @ breach
OF contract, but her ex-employer wouldn't
recognize the claim. She employed W. K.
Leaken. Esq, to press the case, and Sea-
brook q Morgan represented the defendant.
The small court room was packed with
spectators and pretty nearly the whole per-
sonnet OF kleins orchestra who discourse
music at Winters hall.
The plaintiff gave her testimony in a
characteristic manner. She said she had
signed a contract for SIX weeks in New
York to come to Savannah and sing at
Winters hall. but that the proprietor found
fault with her and said she got hoarse.
why" said the plaintiff in q positive
way, Even Adelina Patti gets hoarse."
The court room vibrated from the laugh
ter which followed. The plaintiff said if
she staid at the hall all night and drank
beer with the guests 1t was all right, but il
she happened to 60 to the Chinaman around
the corner her employer would raise an OBJ
lection. The defendant denied he had made
any contract for six weeks, and that the
plaintiffs time had already expired, which
was four weeks The case was dismissed
with costs against the plaintiff.

rwENrY-NINB LEASES GRANTED.
The Fight Before the Commissioners
on the Oyster Question.

me F-gDt BEFORE the com mis5iOl6rS
on the Oyster Question.
The county commissioners met again yes
terday afternoon for the discussion Of oyster
Eases There were present Chairman
Walker. Commissioners Smart and Mein-
hard. Clerk Dillon and County Attorney
Saussy
The fight against the leases applied for in
behalf Of the Oemler Oyster Comuany, in
Oyster creek, was continued by r. R Rich
ards, Esq, attorney for the caveators. The
board adhered TO its previous ruling, ac-
ceptng bulletin No. - as exclusive evidence
IS 20 the existence Of natural oyster bods.
Mr.. Richards objected that Chairman
Walker was disqualified from presiding or
sitting upon the board upon this question
on account Of his relation 20 some Of the
applicants, among them r d. Walker, Jr. d,
and George z. Walker. These applications
were withdrawn by A. X. LawJon, Jr.
counsel for the Oemler Oyster Company.
Several other applications. seven in ali, were
Withdrawn. Mr.. Richards then argued that
question which required an Interpretation
Of the law should be considered by full
board and requested that the hearing he
deferred until next week that the question
Of exclusive evidence OF brakes chart
might bs considered at a full meeting.
Commissioner Meinbard expressed will
tngness 70 refer the matter to a full board
If such could be obtained. As three of the
commissioners present had placed them
selves on record In favor of accepting
brakes chart as exclusive evidence it was
seen that il would be useless % defer the
hearing, as a majority Of the board had
already expressed themselves as holding the
same opinion.
f. s. Elliott, Esq, attorney for some of
the Vernon river caveators, made the point
that the law was unconstitutional because
it was entitled an act to amend an act to
repeal section 1918, when 1t should have
been section 1918. This point was referred
to the county attorney for his considsra-
ton.
The examination Of witnesses was con-
tinued by Mr.. Richards. Being deDarred
from introducing witnesses TO prove that
Oyster creek was resorted to as a natural
oyster bed, number Of witnesses who
were present for this purpose were unable
10 testify.
The board decided to grant the leases ap-
piled for by the Oemler Oyster Company,
tWenty-nine in all.
Mr.. Richards gave notice that be intended
10 carry the question before higher court.
Applications from seventeen parties,
both white and colored, for individual
leases in Shad river, were granted, Mr.
Richards objections being the same as in
the case Of the Oemler Oyster Company.
Monday afternoon was set for the hear
ing of the applications for leases OF the
Vernon Oyster Company.

DOESN'T THINK IT'S SO.
GsN. ALEX lander ON DIVERSION
OF FREIGHT FROM SAVANNAH.

Ee Does Not Think It 20 the Interest
Of the Richmond and DAnviile to Do
1.-THE Richmond snd Danville Must
Fight Its own Battles, However.
The Situation in Regard TO Atlanta
Cotton.
Gen. Alexander said yesterday when
questioned on the subject Of his recent trip
70 New York that it was simply 20 give in
formation 10 the Olcott committee and that
he received no information in return. He
did not know what the plans of the Olcott
committee were, nor if they had any plans,
and be did not discuss the scheme with any
one in New York.
With reference to the charges made
against the Richmond and DanvilIs that 10
IS diverting cotton and other freight from
Savannah, be said he had no knowledge of
the facts, and would leave the Richmond
and Danville to fight its own battles. Speak
ing generally, however, he did not believe
Il 10 be true. because it is very evident that
u is 20 the interests OF the company TO
bring its freight via Savannah.
With re ard 20 the diversion OF Atlanta
cotton from Savannah to West Point, Gen.
Alexander said IL the Central railroad
brought any less cotton from Atlanta to
Savannah this year than for the last sew
eral years previous it would have to bring
almost none at all. The Central has got q
very small share Of the competitive cotton
at Atlanta for several years. The figures
show that Of over 4S, 900 bales received at
Atlanta in 1890 tile Central took out Of
there only $40 bales. The East Ten
nesse received the largest amount of
this cotton, carrying 1t chiefly 10 Bruins
wick, but even going so far as to take it out
Of Atlanta by its own line to Jesup, and
send IL through Savannah to Charleston,
and, worse still, TO even take 10 down to
Jesup and ship It through to Norfolk by
this roundabout route.
At Montgomery, Gen. Alexander said,
the Central has hitherto fnred very little
better that at Atlanta, its proportion of the
local cotton being very little larger than at
Atlanta. This, he said. is because the Cen
trail has maintained its rates, while the East
Tennessee and other roads cut the rates and
adopted various means to secure the cotton.
