The Matter to be Discussed by Naval
Stores Men Next Month.

A committee of the Naval Stores OPP
orators sub-AssOciation, of Cordele, has
been in the city day or two comforting
with the factors. Their object was to
urge the factors committee to impress
upon the operators the Necessity of at
tending the meeting of the Naval
Stores OpertOrs' Association which win
be held here next month. 1t is proposed
to take steps at the meeting to reduce
the production, with the hope of increas-
ing the price.
One of the oldest naval stores factors
in the city said yesterday that the only
thing that aids the naval stores business
is the general financial stringency which
prevails over the whole country.
THE trouble is not the heavy crop" he
said, ''as the receipts this year are con-
siderabiy behind those of last year to the
same date. Neither is it the foreign
market. Europe has taken more ma
val stores this year than last,
Notwithstanding it began the season with
surplus stock on hand, brought
over from last year. Notwithstanding
this the price is lower than it has been
since 1881, when spirits got down to %
cents. The quotations now are 2514c."
Savannah is now holding the largest
stocks of rosin and spirits she has ever
held at one time. The stock of rOsin
yesterday was 129, 1914 barrels, and that of
spirits 80, 800 barrels. The same day last
year the stocks were, rosin 59S07, spirits
1851. One reason for the large stocks
now on hand is the scarcity of tonnage at
the port. Several large vessels rare on
their way here, which are expected to
materially decrease the size of
the stocks The receipts of spirits
are about $4,000 barrels less than
those of last year to this date. The re-
ceipts up to yesterday, compared with the
same date last year, are as follows: 1893,
spirits 1O7 ,s99; rosin 259, 46l; 1892, spirits
121 9S9 rosin $50, 953
As the receipts this year are shown to
be less than those of last year, while the
European demand is better, there would
appear to be no other cause for the low
prices than the general depression of bust
ness in this country

NAY co TO THE JURY TODAY
The Murphy Damage Suit Still on in
the City Court.

The Superior Court Grants Nellie
Love Divorce-The Muller Case In
the Hands of the Judge Indictments
by the City Court Grand Jury-Ru-
mors of a Sensation that May Crop
Out.
Another entire day was consumed yes
terday with the Murphy damage suit in
the city court. The morning session was
taken up in the examination of witnesses
in rebuttal by the plaintiff and the argu-
ments were not reached until the after
noon.
Mr.. w. r. Lealken opened for the plain
tiff, stating that at the time Mr.. Murphy
was killed, he was not actively employed
in charge of the boilers, and that he had
not then gone on duty, as the explosion
occurred at 6;2l, city time, and that he
did not go on duty until $50, standard
time. Mr.. Murphy, ne said, therefore
occupied the same position as stranger,
that his right to recover did not depend
on his negligence alone, and that having
shown his death and the circumstances
surrounding it, the burden rested with
the railway company to show itself with
out negligence.
THREE PROPOSITIONS.
He laid down three propositions: First
that the gate valves were not closed and
that the explosion occurred by reason of
too much firing by those in charge of the
boilers in Murphy's absence; second,
that if they were closed they were not
closed by Murphy, as he had no reason to
close them, and that they might have
been closed by some rotary motion caused
u a nd nd
was closed and the other open or if either
or both leaked the explosion could not
have occurred, as both boilers are known
to have burst at the same instant, as both
reports sounded as one and they were
both under the same pressure.
Mr.. f. G. duBignon opened the argu-
ment for the defense. He stated that
Murphy was actually engaged in the en-
ploy Of the company at the time, as it
was his duty to look over theleagines and
boilers before starting work for the day,
and he was engaged in that work at the
time.
THE ONLY ONE TO TOUCH THE VALVE.
He showed that Murphy was the
only man who had the right to touch the
gate valves, and that while at the
works on the Sunday proceeding the ex-
plosion had closed them and was at that
time actually engaged in the operations
which resulted in his death the next day
He claimed that an employee had no right
recover where his death had resulted from
his own negligence as it had in this case,
Murphy being on hand some twenty min
utes before the explosion occurred, and
on this point he cited several supreme
court decisions,
Mr.. L. ID. Rockwell will close for the
defense and Mr.. r. r. Richards for the
plaintiff. The case will probably go to
the jury late this afternoon.

AFTER ALL THE GAMBLERS.
The Policy Shop Men Not the only
Ones in the Tolls of the Law.

Detective Morgan was engaged all of
yesterday in prosecuting his raid on the
policy shop men and another batch of ne
groes engaged in gambling was corraIled
into the folds of the law. He is doing the
work thoroughly and it is safe to say
that there were mono indicted but what
he will get,
The policy shop men are not the only
class of men who have fallen within the
tolls of the law. At its last meeting the
grand jury of the superior court indicted
ChaS. Odel and Geo. ChasserOw, whose
gambling headquarters are in the large
buildngnext to the Screven House. These
men are the proprietors of perhaps the
largest and most extensive gambling
place in Savannah .sand they will have to
answer to the charge along with the rest
of the Offenders
IL is supposed that these policy shops
which are operated directly by the ne
grOes against whom the charges have
been preferred are branches of these
large establishments which conduct the
business on wider scale. This was not
known positively, but the solicitor gener-
al expects to show that such is the case
by the arrest of all the men
engaged in the policy shOp
business. Out of forty or more
against whom indictments were found.
twenty-five or thirty have been arrested.
and all of those on the list will probably
be captured.
The grand jury is determined to wipe
out gambling in Savannah il possible, and
the crusade is being vigorously prosecuted
by the officers of the law.

THE ONLY ONE TO TOUCH THE VALVE.
In the Superior Court.

Very little business of any consequence
was transacted in the superior court yes
terday
The case of Nellie Love vs., Chas. H.
Love- libel for total divorce, was dis
posed of by the grant
ing of decree of to-
tai divorce to the plaintiff. The two were
married in 1899, and she alleged that
Love had abandoned her in 1890 and had
continued his Abandonment, of which she
brought sufficient proof to get a favor
able verdict from the jury.
The case of Jonas Mendel VS. Emma
Jones, a suit for a lot of land on the
White Bluff road, was, on motion of the
plaintiffs attorneys, Messrs. Barron and
Osborne, dismissed. Mendel had
claimed the right to the land, but Emma
had nine-tenths of the law on her side,
being in possession. The title to the
property, however, was so involved that
the plaintiff decided to have the suit dis
missed.
The arguments on the exceptions to the
masters report in the case of Muller VS..
Muller have been completed and the
question is now in the hands of Judge
Falligant. If he sustains any of the ex-
ceptions the case will go to a jury.
