CITY BREvITIEs.

The dry goods clerks are endeavoring to
get their employers to close the stores at
o'clock until Sept. /.
The condition of Jefferson street, be-
tween Congress and Bay streets, should
be looked after. The street is full of
holes, gullies, mud and slush.
The rainfall over entire Southeast Geor-
gia yesterday was heavy. Townsville
reported nearly inches. A Guyton dis
patch to the MORNING NEWS last night
stated that the rainfall there for twenty
four hours had been 4 inches. In Savan-
nah nearly 2 inches of rain fell.
The eastern portion of Yonge's hall is
being torn down. The hall proper, how
ever, which is in the western portion of
the building, is not being interfered with.
the portion removed being the supper
rooms and the lodge room. Mr.. ST. j. r.
Yonge, owner of the property, has sold
his drug business, which he conducted at
that place, to Mr. j. A. DeGaugh, and
will remove the material of the portion of
the building torn down to the corner Of
Tenth and jefferson streets, where he has
begun the erection of a drug store and
residence. The erection of stores in the
southern extension, which, few years
ago, was an open common, is an evidence
Of the rapid growth of that section of the
city.

MRS. LArHRoP DEAD.
One of Savannah's Noble Women Gone
to Her Reward,

Mrs. Margaret A. Lathrop of this city
died at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. Morehead, at Durham, n c., night
before last, after a protracted illness
When the deceased lady left here about
week ago there was little or no expecta-
ton of her ever being seen in life again by
her family and friends, and the news of
her death was not unexpected.
Mrs. Lathrop was the daughter of the
late Gen. Eli Warren of Houston county,
and married early in life Mr.. James w.
Lathrop, at that time young merchant
of Southwest Georgia, who afterward
moved to this city and became one of it's
wealthiest and most respected citizens
He died in 1875 and was succeeded in
business by his son, James W. Lathrop,
Jr., most brilliant and promising young
man, who few years later followed his
father to the grave.
Another son also died in early man
hood leaving his widowed mother but one
child, the daughter, at whose home she
breathed her last Mrs. Lathrop was a
lady of strong personality, and devoted
much of her life and means to kindly
works. Her presence will be missed far
beyond the family circle Mrs. Lathrop
was sister of Hon. j. L. Warren of this
city and of Mrs Sidney P. Goodwin.
The remains will be brought here and
inferred in Bonaventure cemetery.

The news Of the accident reached the
city about II: 30 o'clock, and, as usual,
came in a highly exaggerated form. The
story was that the draw bridge over st.
Augustine creek had been washed away
by the high water, and the train had
rushed overheard. drowning or killing
everybody. The story spread with re
markable rapidity and within a short
time crowds began gathering at the
Tybee depot The news that
the train had left Tybee on time
and that nothing had been heard of
it afterwsrd gave considerable color to
the wreck rumor, and the arrival of the
engineer with the true story gave relief
to many anxious minds.

PREPARING FOR A BIG COURT.
Nearly 400 Lawyers Expected When
the Central Litigation Comes Up.

Some pretty lively times are expected
in the United States court here on June
&c, when the grand finale of the Central
railroad litigation will take place before
Justice Jackson
Marshal Frank Leverett, who was in
the city day or two ago, instructed
Deputy j. G. Hayward to get all the
chairs he could into the court room be-
tween now and June 26, as he wanted
seating room for $50 to 300 people, most of
whom he said were lawyers and others
interested in the litigation.
1t is a peculiar fact that there are not
more than 100 chairs obtainable in the
custom house for such an occasion, about
90 of which are in the court room and
jury rooms. Deputy Hayward says that
the demand for seats will never be salts
fled by those he can obtain from the
custom house departments, and if an en-
larged seating capacity is desired he will
have to rent about $50 chairs from out
side.
Another difficulty in the way is the
fact that the COURT room has seating
capacity of only about 200 at the outside,
and the deputy is in somewhat of guam
dairy TO know where to put the chairs to
seat any more than that number. Still
it is expected that nearly 200 lawyers
viii be present at the hearing a great
many of whom will have direct interest
in the proceedings as representatives of
parties to the litigation. The majority
of the Savannah bar will, of course,
attend, and large and strong delegations
will come down from Atlanta, Augusta,
Macon, New York city and some few
from Charleston. In addition Marshal
Leverett expects to have his entire official
force from Macon present on the occasion.
Where they are going to put them is the
question that is just now puzzling the
court officials.
When he was here Marshal Leverett
said he expected to see lawyers here from
! New York to San Francisco. And when
! it is considered that this is one
! of the largest litigations that has
been conducted in the United States
in some time, it viii readily be seen that
/ there is some cause for alarm in regard
| to the seating capacity of the court room.
/ The opinions with regard to how long
| the litigation is going to last vary all the
| way from three or four days to three or
/ four weeks. Some are of the opinion that
! Justice jackson will take the litigation in
hand and wind it up quickly, while others
think that from its nature it will neces-
sarily consume a great deal of time.
| There is no telling how long it may last
and that will probably not be determined

SWEPT BY THE STORM.
The City Deluged With Rain and
Raked by a Gale.

01AC0 ny a 8b4os
The storm which has been moving this
way for the last three days struck Savan-
nah last night with tremendous force.
The storm signals were hoisted on the
Board of Trade building yesterday
morning and at all points on the coast
south of here. At s o'clock the storm be-
gan to be felt. BY 10 o'clock the rain,
which had been falling rapidly, came
down in torrents.
The wind started in a gale from the
southeast and kept increasing in force.
The rain did not let up from the time it
began, and at midnight was falling in
sheets. The telephone wires in the east
ern section of the city are down, and
the telegraph wires were crossed in
all directions. The fire alarm wires were
mixed and the fremen were kept on the
alert by continual confused alarms Signs
were torn loose, fences were blown down
and branches of broken trees were thrown
across the sidewalks all through the city.
Up to O'Clock no serious damage, how
ever, had been reported in the city, ex-
cept the breaking down of trees and
fences. The flower gardens were almost
wrecked.
FIFTY MILES AN HOUR AT TYBEE.
On the river the wind blew more VIC
lently than it did in the city. A telephone
report from the Tybee signal station at IL
o'clock said the wind was then blowing
fifty miles an hour there and the storm
was increasing in force The Boston
steamship City of Macon, which
left her wharf about o'clock,
passed down the river and reached the
roads, but did not signal the Tybee sta
ton, and is believed to have anchored
inside. The Baltimore steamship VIM.
Crane came into the roads at o'clock,
before the storm began, and reached her
wharf at midnight, having experienced
none Of its effects. The schooner Annie
Bliss sailed yesterday for Baltimore and
must have been caught outside.
The rain stopped at 2 o'clock this morn
ing for awhile, but the wind kept up and
was then blowing thirty miles an hour.
The water in the river was backed up
and rose to the edges of the wharves
above and along the city, and in some
places threatened to overflow. The
tide was then ebb and nearly at low
water. A trip along the wharves failed
to discover any damage at that hour.
The backing up of the water by the gale
drove it over the banks above and below
the city and the 1owlands were overfowed
in MANY places

OUR ROADS MAY WITHDRAW.
Savannah viii Not Stand the Dis
elimination in Cotton Rates.


Savannah's cotton men are aroused
over the action of the rate committee of
the Southern Railway and Steamship
Association in removing the differentia
between Norfolk and West Point and
! Savannah for export cotton, thus dis
eliminating against this port in favor of
the Virginia points A vigorous protest
will be made to the association against
the new rule by the cotton exchange, the
Plant system and the Central railroad.
The differentia was allowed by the as
ISOLATION in favor of Savannah against
the other two ports because ocean rates
and marine insurance from Norfolk and
West Point to old world points have
always been much less than those pre-
vatllng here on account of their position
on the coast The principal object of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation has always supposed to have been
the equalization of rates in order to give
to every port its just share of trade, and
its was in accordance with this idea that
the differentia of IL cents was allowed
just why the rate committee should
undertake to change methods and dis
criminate in favor of the Virginia ports
against not only Savannah but Bruins
wick and Charleston as well, is some
thing which Savannah's railway and
commercial men cannot understand. They
do not propose, however, to submit to
having their legitimate trade turned
away to other points to suit the caprice
of few individuals, and at the meeting
of the association they will he heard
from in no uncertain terms.
If the rate committees action is upheld
it is probable the Georgia and Carolina
members of the association will withdraw
and fight for their own protection. This
would doubtless lead to a disruption of
the body and a period of the liveliest rate
slashing seen in the south in a long time
81 can see the hand of the Richmond
and Danville in this affair, P" said we'll
known transportation man yesterday.
''It is another shrewd move on the part
of its officials to in1ure Savannah, and to
my mind the only proper course for the
Central and other roads here to pursue
II the ditferentia is not re-established is
to cut loose from the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association and jump into
the field and make rates to meet those of
the Virginia ports. 1t might be slightly
Instantaneous at the start, but would
soon bring the opposition to their senses
and result in establishment of the old
rates
Our brokers can do as much charter
ing as Virginia's brokers, and sufficient
inducements can be offered to bring ample
cotton here to fill the tonnage. As long
as Savannah is in the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association in company
with the Richmond and Danville crowd
we may expect to have obstacles
constantly thrown against the port unless
our backbone is shown in a way which
will indicate determination not to be
trihed with"
The cotton exchange will, it is under
stood, forward a vigorous protest in writ
ing to the New York meeting, and the
Plant system and Central railroad will
be represented by its officials.

COMING TO SAVANNAH.
Congressman w. j. Bryan of Ne
braska to Be Here To-day.


braska to Be Here To-day.
Hon. William j. Bryan, congressman
from Lincoln, Neb., generally known as
the young orator who made perhaps the
best speech ever delivered upon the sub
ject of the tariff few months ago, will
arrive in the city from Atlanta this
morning.
Mr. Bryan was invited to deliver the
annual address at the Georgia Industrial
College for girls at Milledgeville, of which
Hon. F. G. duBignon is one of the trustees
Mr.. Bryan delivered that address last
week, and those who heard him say it
was one of the wittiest and most
interesting commencement addresses
they ever heard. He is now
serving his second term in
congress having been comparatively I'm
known three or four years ago. He made
his way rapidly to the front as a young
man, but for long time after his election
to the legislative body of the nation, he
took very little active part in any of the
arguments or debates.
Three or four months ago, however,
when the tariff came up for q discus
sion he obtained the floor and made q
speech upon that usually dry and unin-
teresting topic which electrified his hear
ers, and placed him on record as one of
the coming statesmen of America The
speech was telegraphed all over the coun-
try, and Mr. Bryan sprang suddenly into
fame
After speaking at Milledgeville Mr..
Bryan went to visit Speaker Crisp for
day or two and on Wednesday and Thurs
day was in Atlanta, where he delivered
an eloquent and entertaining address be-
fore the Young Mems Democratic Club at
the court house.
Mr. Bryan expressed a desire to see
Savannah before returning to his home
In Nebraska He wanted to take a look
at the chief of South Atlantic ports and
one which is destined to become the COM
ing port of the country Accordingly he
left Atlanta last night and will arrive
here this morning. He will spend the day
here looking over the city and will prob
ably leave tonight to return to Nebraska
He will be met at the De Soto this MORN
ing by Hon. Fleming G. duBignon and
number Of other gentlemen and at 10
O'Clock will be taken to the city exchange
Mr.. duBignon has notified Acting Mayor
George j. Mills of Hon. W.. j. Bryan's
visit to the city, and Mayor Mills will
have the aldermen and a number of
prominent citizens at the exchange this
morning to meet Mr.. Bryan and extend
to him the cOurtesies of the CITY. In tho
afternoon he will be taken for drive
over the city, and the party will visit the
Central railroad wharyes and num-
Der Of other places of interest.
and he will be given good view of the
clty, Mr.. Bryan is a young man and is
said to be prince of good follows He Is
one of the brightest young men in CON
gress and Is rapidly pushing his way to
the front among the ablest men in that
body.

THANKS 20 M'CARTHY.
When the train first stopped last night
the passengers were informed DO the con-
ductor that they would have to remain
there all night. At first there were some
murmurs of discomfort, but as soon as day
light began to appear and they took at
the situation their hearts went out in
thanks to Engineer Mccarthy. He had
stopped the train just forty feet from the
ditch.
When they saw what narrow escape
they had all were content to stand the
situation as it was, and one of the pas
sengers said this morning that al Nc
earthly knew of the outpouring of thanks
that he received it would do his heart
good.
All night long the passengers inter
ested themselves the best they could,
many going to sleep when the ces-
sation of the merry songs of others per
mitted it. Shortly after midnight the
committee of the Brotherhood of Looomo-
tive Firemen served a lunch to the ladies
from what their picnic baskets contained
after the feast at Tybee. Then all
sang songs. and cracked jokes
until some, wearied by the waiting,
fell asleep until the arrival of the special
on the scene at $50 this morning.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
pusher will run the schedule down to the
washout to-day, and these arrangements
have been made to transfer the passen-
gers conveniently across The train
up from Tybee this morning was
signalled at the Tybee light this morning
on her way rp and warned to look out for
washouts all along the track and for the
train at St. Augustine creek.
Engineer Mccarthy, fortunately, took
extra precautions all along the
line to beware of washouts
and stopped several times before
the st. Augustine creek
bridge. When he crossed it he sent his
fireman ahead to look out for danger, and
thus, perhaps, saved many lives.
