JUDGE sPEER DIsAGREEs.
He Thinks the Central Should Be FRS
Sold for the Tripartite Mortgage.

He Thinks the Central Should Be First
Sold for the Tripartite Mortgage.
Judge Speer's views on the Southwest
ern railroad question, it seems, are de-
cidedly at variance with those of Justice
Jackson. Judge Speer was unable to sit
in the rehearing with Justice jackson,
but, as he had been invited and as he had
presided with him at the hearing here, he
forwarded the justice a statement of his
views.
Judge Speer thinks and states that the
evidence and records clearly show that
the Southwestern was only surety on
the tripartite mortgage, and that the
road had the right of su brogatiou in the
event it was held liable on any part of
the debt as such surety. In his opinio
the Central should first pay of the trim
artitC mortgage, amounting to s. 1896 600
with interest and proper charges. and
that the balance of the proceeds of the
sale Of the Central, should be applied to
the discharge of the equity of the holders
of the SsOOO,O00 bonds secured by the
$4,000 600 mortgage Then if, there is auy
deficiency due the latter, the South
western should make it good, and, ifneces-
sary, should be sold to that end. But in
no case, however, he says, should the
Southwestern be required TO pay more
tnan One-tulrd OF the trlpartite mortgage,
unless the Central main stem should sell
for so small sum as To make the sale Of
the Southwestern necessary to satisfy the
tripartite bOudholders.
In any event, however, the South
western should be subrogated as against
the Central for whatever amount it NAV
be compelled to pay. To illustrate his
views, Judge Speer states, in conclusion.
q. FIRST; sen The Central main stem. Should
II bring enough to pay of the s. 800 900 trina r
lite debt as well as the s. 100000 OUTSTANDING
nrst mortgage bonds, then the Southwestern
should be released entirely.
second, should the Central not sell for su0l-
cient TO satisfy both Of the above dcbts. the
decree should provide that an amount eouaI

SHOWED UNDER a HORSE.
Walter Grower, II Years Old, Prob
ably Fatally injured.

Walter Grower, a 12-year-old white
boy. was run over and perhaps fatally in
jured on Congress street, between Mont
gomery and jefferson streets, yesterday
afternoon. Young Grower was playing
in front of George Schwarz's saloon with
some other boys, when Dick Dieter t.
year-old boy. came aa8ng in his fathers
buggy. Dieter was going at smart
trot.
In a spirit Of rude fun the other boys
showed Grower, who is small for MS age,
into the street in front of the buggy,
thinking. doubtless. that he would scr3m-
bic out Of the way IN time
The shaft Of the buggy struck Grower
in the shoulder, knocking him down, and
the two wheels of the buggy passed over
his body leugthwlse.
The boy was picked up unconscious and
taken to the home of his father, James A.
Grover, green grocer, at Farm and
Mil streets. DIR. r. @. Norton was
called and found his injuries quite
serious. There were no bones broken,
but IL was evident that he mad suffered a
severe shock There were signs of inter
nal in uries, and hemOrrhaCe at the nose
indicated conclusion of the brain. He
had not recovered consciousness up to a
late hour last night and it was doubtful
if he would live through the night.
After knocking the boy down young
Dieter became frightened and drove on to
Barnard street before stopping. Parties
who saw the boy lying in the street were
very much iucensed at Dieter, believing
him to be wholly responsible for the &C
cident. Policeman Coffee was called
upon to arrest young Dieter, which he
did AT the store of Decker 81 Dieter on
Barnard street where he is employed.
Dick Dieter is a son of Geo. Dieter, of the
firm of Decker & Dieter. He remained
in the barracks until 5 o'clock last night,
when he was bailed out by his father, by
permission of MIR. Grower, the father Of
Walter Grower. A request was at first
made at the barracks by Mr.. Grower
that Dieter be not allowed to give bond
until the results of his sons injuries could
be ascertained, but after further investi-

POST moRTEM ON A COW.

Six Citizens Decide That She Came to
Her Death by Gunshot Wound.
There was post norton examination
held on a cow yesterday morning at Dit
mersville, and although rather unusual
subject for such an investigation, there
was an object in the investigation which
resulted finally in landing a negro named
William Bell in Jail on a charge of mali
cious mischief, in that he had shot the
COW
The COW, which was the property of
Harris Gadsden, was accustomed to wan
derlng from her own tireside and getting
into Bells field. Several times he drove
her out, but all to no purpose, he said, as
she would wander back again Monday
morning the COW was found dead in Bells
neld, and Bell was seen the same morning
with gun in his hand. When asked how
the COW came to her death, he said he
supposed she had been choked to death by
eating his potatoes, turnips and other arti-
cles of truck
Gadsden didn't take any stock in this
story. and thinking she had been shot. de-
termined to investigate the matter for
himself. The post norton, which was
conducted by six negroes, revealed the
fact that the COW had not choked to
death, but that she had been killed with
a shotgun. This discovery resulted in a
warrant being sworn out against Bell in
Justice Naughtin'S court, and in default
OF bond he was sent to Jail.

WAITING FOR THE EXCURSIONS.
Florida People viii Flock to Savan-

Mr.. J. 0. LaF'ontisee, city editor of

While in the city he called upon the com
mittee of arrangements of the merchants

cursion from Gainesville to Savannah, on
the Savannah Florida and Western rail
way, to berun by the Savannah merchants
Dec. ,.
Mr.. LaF'ontisee said that great interest
is being taken by the people of Gainesville
and the surrounding country in the mer-
chants excursion, and there
is no doubt that q large number
will avail themselves of the
opportunity to visit Savannah and make
their fall purchases. Mr.. LaFontisee
proposes to make the fact of the excursion
well known TO the people of his section
through his paper, and there is no doubt
that he Will receive liberal encouragement
to do So
Gainesville is not only one of the best
towns in Florida, but is situated in a very
fine territory. The people there are pros
porous and Independent and able to buy
the best goods when it is to their advan-
tage to do so. There is no doubt that the
place Will receive the attention of Savan-
nah's merchants between now and the
time of the excursion.
a meeting of the business mems COM
mittee will be held at the De Soto early
next week TO arrange the final details for

DON'T WANT ANY CHANGE.
The Truck Growers Would Like tc
Have the Duty on Potatoes Remain.

The Truck Growers Would Like to
Have the Duty on Potatoes Remain.
The truck growers around Norfolk, Va,
have recently passed a resolution calling
on the ways and means committee, which
now has the tariff bill under considera-
ton, not to remove the duty on Irish pota-
toes, which now amounts to % cents per
bushel.
"The truck grow of Savannah have
not been behind said MIR. M. i. Exley in
speaking of the matter yesterday. AT
our October meeting we passed a similar
resolution asking Col. Lester to use his
influence in having the duty retained.
He replied stating that he had filed the
resolution with the ways and means
committee with request and that he
would endeavor to protect the interests in
question.
You see" said Mr.. Exley, "there are
large quantities of potatoes raised up in
Canada and the countries up IN that sec
ton, and vessels take them as ballast
for little or nothing, sometimes merely
for the loading This, with the duty re-
moved, would make the competition too
great. The duty is only % cents a bushel,
or about 81 cents per barrel
This is a small amount, and
potatoes are cheap enough as it is Our
interests, however, are not so large as
those of the truck growers around Nor
folk where about 100000 barrels are
raised annually. We raise around Savan-
nah about 900 barrels annually, but it
affects us just the same. We are in
hopes that the duty on this staple, which
is already cheap enough, will be retained, !"

TOOK POISON And DIED.
A Strangers Supposed Suicide at the
Marshall House.

William White, Of Denver, Believed
to Be William Barnes, of Norwich,
N. z, Found in His Room With
Evidences of Death by Morphine.
The Man without Funds and
Thought to Have Been Insane.
A white man, registered at the Mar
shall house as viii White, of Denver,
Col, was found dead in his bed yesterday
morning. His death is believed to have
been a case Of suicide.
The matter was reported to Coroner
Dixon shortly after the discovery was
made and the body was removed from the
hotel. Coroner Dixon learned from a
man at the DeSoto that White had form
erly lived at Schoharie. n. Y, where he
had been employed in Woods hotel, and
on that information the coroner tele-
graphed that point to see if he could learn
anything about his relations or family.
He had received no reply last night.
From information obtained the man is be-
ieved to be William Barens, of Norwich,
N. Y, instead of White as he called him
self here.
A QUEER MAN
White has been in the city about
week and since that time has been at the
Marshall house. He pretended to repre-
sent some stock raisers in the north
and said he was down here
to work up some business for
them. Among other curious
things that he did was to deposit small
valiSe with the clerk of the hotel every
morning before going out out when his
body was discovered the valise had dis
appeared and nothing has since been seen
of it. White was man of a respectable
appearance, apparently of good breeding
and was about 30 years old. His mind
was not right, as his actions plainly
showed.
EVIDENCES OF POISON.
Night before last he took his key and
went out, but it is not known when he
returned to his room. Yesterday morn
ing the key was found in the door and
White was dead in his bed He was lay
ing across the bed almost dressed, having
removed only his shoes, coat and vest. An
examination of the body led to the con-
clusiOn that he had taken morphine, or
some Opiate, in a sufficient quantity to
produce death, and probably with suicidal
intent, as it was known that he had been
almost entirely without funds since he
has been here. Coroner Dixon came to
the conclusion at once, as soon as he
learned the facts in the case, that it was
a suicide, and he so expressed himself last
night. He will hold the body until this
afternoon in the hope that some of the
dead mans friends may be heard from

GRAU's NEW OPERA.
paul jones' Seen for the First Time
in Savannah.

in Savannah.
Grau's Opera company was greeted by a
large audience last night to witness the
first production in savannah of paul
Jones"
The opera is sparkling with many
bright bits of catchy music, and deli
cious vein of comedy runs through it. The
costumes are new and handsome, harmo-
nizing with the effects OF scenery and sit
uation- The principals and chorus are
all well suited to the requirements OF the
opera, which has been a great success
whenever presented.
Paul Jones" was written by H. 3.
Farnie, and for the music Planquette is
responsible. Paul Jones is a young fellow
who is in the employ of Bic0quet, and, at
the same time is in love with his ward
and niece, Yonne, the latter reciprocal
ing his ardent attachment. BicOquet
has promised his ward in marriage to
Ruhno DeAlartinez, a rich but ylllainOus
gentleman.
The piece opens with the appearance Of
Bouillabaisse and Peter Pierre, two
devil-may-care fishermen smugglers,
and the shrewish wife of the for
mer, Chopinette. They are friends
OF PauPs, and stoutly stand by that
young person when he is discharged
by his employer. Gonne is, of course,
faithful to her lover. The hard
hearted and merceuary uncle finally
agrees that, if within three years, Paul
returns with fortune of a million francs
he may have the hand of his niece.
An American captain in search of a crew
TO man piratical ship appears oppor-
timely, and Paul Jones, BOuillabaisse,
Pierre and a chorus of sailors ship
with him, the first act closing with the
departure of the vessel.
The second act opens just a quarter of
an noUr before the expiration of the three
years in which Paul was to acquire his
million francs. Yonue is about to be be-
trothed to DeMartinez Paul appears to
claim his bride, and fight is precipitated
between the rivals. A duel is arranged,
but Paul is apprehended upon the grounds
and thrown into irons
The third act witnesses his reappear-
ance after miraculous escape, and sup
ported by band of his pirates he over
powers the governor of Estrella and his
forces and wins YOnne.
The company will appear tonight in
"Boccaccio," in which will be introduced

The Greenwood Company was booked
to appear in Savannah earlier in the sea-

company was one of the most popular
that appeared here last season, and its
temperance will be welcome to all who
witnessed its performances last season,
and theater goers generally.
