LAW ON BILLS OF LAp1NG.
An Important Decision by a Balti-
more Court.

An Important Decision by a Balti-
more Court.
An important decision has been delivered
by the Baltimore city court, in which bank
ing and maritime interests are involved.
The case grew out of the failure about
July l, 1891, of the old aud leading firm of
Charles Green's Son & Co. of this city.
which was employed in exporting cotton.
Lazard Freres are prominent bankers OF
London. New York ard Paris, who, on
June %, 1891, bought in the New York
market two of Green's sterling drafts, with
three cotton bills of lading attached. The.e
bills of ladinR were issued at Savannah by
the agent Of the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company, and provided for
the carriage by that company Of $50 bales
of cotton from Savannah to Baltimore, and
for its delivery there to the North German
Lloyd steamers, for transportation to
Bremen, Germany.
Acceptance of the drafts was refused in
Europe upon the ground that the cot
ton had never been delivered to the carrier
Lazard Freres thereGpon instituted the suit
against the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation Company to recover the value OF
the cotton, which it was alleged was worth
S23, 800. The counsel for the company
set up as the one plea of the defense tina
the bills Of lading were isued
to Mr.. Green without its author
ity. aud in fraud of its rights, as
the cotton was never received by it. In
February. 1876, the Maryland court Of ap-
peals decided the case of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad vs.. Wilkins, in which the
doctrine was laid down that bills of lading
are not negotiable in the same sense as
promissory notes and bills OF exchange, and
that a carrier is not responsible to bona fide
holders OF bills of lading where that carrier 8
agent issues the bill without receiving the
goods.
Immediately after this decision the Mary
land legislature passed an act changing this
law as TO all bills Of lading executed in that
state. or promising the delivery Of goods
within IL. Lazard Freres having demurred
to the companys plea, which set up that the
company never received the goods, the
question of law was presented to Judge
Harlan whether the bills of lading held
by the Lizards were such as are within the
operation of the Maryland statutes making
certain bills Of lading negotiable In the same
sense as drafts and prOmissory notes-that is.
as to whether the bills of lading sued on
provide for deliveryof goods In Maryland
within the purview of the otate law. The
Baltimore judge. in his opinion on the de-
murrer. holds that the legislature did not
mean to make negotiable bills of lading
which provide for the transpor alton OF
goods from point out of the state to for
eign point, where the goods were to be
delivered by one carrier TO another in

MUSIC AND TABLEAUX.

The Choir Fund Society Gives a
Charming entertainment.

Masonic hall last night was a very charm
ing entertainment. The concert was fol-
lowed by a series of tsblsaux, and after that
came refreshments and dancing.
With the exception Of two solos by Mr..
Julian Walker the concert was wholly in
strumental. The first number was a piano
dueo Moroccan Elegante" by Misses Marie
and Lola Moyneo. 1t was charmingIY
played and received a round Of applause
Miss Bessie Hanley played the piano solo
Harp Eoliann in an artistic manner.
Little May Palmer's piano solo, May is
Coming was marvel of playing, and the
little player wal loudly applauded.
One Of the features of the concert was
Prof. Hubner's debut as solo violinist
He played a series of concert variations
with piano accompaniment by Mrs
Mehrtens. Prof. Hubner is graduate of
Muncheu. Germany, and is a viollnist Of
accomplished skill. His playing won Tor
Prof. Hubner was followed by Miss Jen-
ME Bryan with the piano solo, 'Song of the
AlDs"
The next number was piano duet, "Sil-
yer Snray," by little Miss Annie Kehoe and
Mrs. Mehrtens. The number was charm
ingly rendered and was warmly applauded.

the evening. Both were played with rare
skill

Looking Backward, 1692-1S70," were
significant pictures. The first represented
a family group. in which the household
duties were being performed by the femi-
nine members. In the second picture the
situation was reversed.
The lullaby song from "Ermnie,n by
little May Palmer, with chorus of masters

TROUBLEAT QUARANTINE
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE CON
DUCT OF OFFICIALS.

The Mayor to Look Into the Differ
ences Between the Quarantine Off
Ger and the Master of the Queran-
tine Tug-The Annual Cost Of the Tug
not Much Less Than Half the Cost OF
the Quarantine Department.
The city tug Theckla is causing trouble
in the quarantine department and will
probably be the cause of an investigation
by Mayor McDonough. Quarantine Officer
Keller and Capt. Thomas F. Healy of the
Theckla have had a Misunderstanding, and
the quarantine officer refuses to use the tug
under any consideration.
The story is that Capt. Healy and Quar-
antine Officer Keller fell out about the dis
tance the doctor had to 60 in a
small boat from the tug to board
vessels. The quarantine officer wanted
Capt. Healy to go very close to the ships,
which, 1t is said, Healy refused TO do. Now
the quarantine officer makes the entire trip
to the vessels he has to board in q small
boat.
This state of affairs makes the Theckla
almost useless piece Of property, as one OF
the principal objects in purchasing the tug
ger of boarding vessels from small boats in
stormy weather. The present state Of af-
fairs was first brought to Mayor Nc
Donough's attention yesterday, and be at
once wrote a letter to Quarantine Officer
Keller, asking for his reasons for refusing
to use the Theckla. Az soon as he receives
a reply an investigation will be ordered.
The quarantine tug is an expensive item
in the oity's budget at any rate. When the
purchase Of a tug by the city was first pro-
posed the scheme was to fit her with fumi-
eating apparatus to facilitate the dI'in-
fecting OF vessels, but that ideG has been
abandoned and the tug is used TO dock YES
sells at the station, and is supposed to be
used by the quarantine officer for board
ing purposes.
The Tneckla originally cost $4,000, and
last year the cost of her maintenance and
operation footed up about 81, 600, little less
than $4,000 below half the total expenses Of
the quarantine department. 1t is estimated
that the yearly expense of the tug as long
as the city keeps her will be &c. 900. This is
quite an item, but it is said that Savannah
must have the tug to compete with other
stations

ANOTHER CENTRAL CHANGE.
A Rumor That Traffic Manager Shell
man is About to Resign

A Rumor That Traffic Manager Shell
man is About to Resign.
The latest sensation In Central railroad
circles is the rumored resignation Of Traffic
Manager NAL w. F. Shellman, the an
nouncement of which is expected within a
few days. This rumor will doubtless cause
general surprise and will meet with little
credence from any except the few who are
acquainted with the situation.
Maj. Shellman's resignation is already
being talked of by a few railroad men in
the state who have received information, it
is said, Of his intentions.
The reasons offered in explanation of the
rumor are that differences exist as TO policy
betwesn himself and President Conner. MIR.
Conner and Maj Shellman are on the most
friendly terms personally, but, it is said
they did not agree, or did not understand
each other, as to the management Of the
traffic department
Recent changes in the department, 1t is
said, have not met with the entire approval
of Mr.. Conner. Whether any of the recent
actions of the department will be reversed
remains to be seeN.
President Conner was out of the city yes.
terday in attendance upon the United States
circuit court in Macon, and Maj. Shellman
was absent in Atlanta Nothing is definitely
known of the matter by Central railroad
men in Savannah.

TO PROTECT SOLDIERS.

Discharges for Doing Military Duty
To Be Made an Offense.
1t is said that the next representatives
from Chatham county to the legislature
will be asked to introduce a bill making il
an offense for any employer to discharge an
employe for doing military duty or refusing
to employ any one because he happens to be
a member of a military organization. Such
IA law is said to be in existence in New York
state, and works successfully.
The reasons which prompt this step are
said to be the discharge of member OF the
regiment by his employer for going to the
recent encAmpment at Camp Northen. The
employer agreed TO let his employee off until
Saturday morning, but when he returned
in his place. The only explanation he could
get was that the employer couldn't wait on
him.
