ONCE A FAMOUS BELLE.
Margaret Hills, Whose Death Occurred
at Florence Italy.

The Margaret Hills, widow of William
Parker, the announcements of whose death
at Florence, Italy, was received Friday
by Mayor McDonough through Gov. Nor
then, who was informed of the matter by
the state department at Washington was
in 1887 one of the most beautiful young la
dies in Savannah society. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry w
Hills and granddaughter of Col. Shellman,
who was one of the most prominent and
highly respected citizens of Savannah.
He held large place IN the city's social
life and he was also well known for his
elegant hospitality
In the winter of 1887 his daughter, Mrs
Henry w. Hills, who lived away from
the city, came to make him a visit She
brought her daughters, Margaret Hills
and Emily Hills, with her. Mrs. John
H. Reed remembers them well. They
were beautiful girls and attracted much
attention.
During that winter of 1887, which they
spent in Savannah, fancy ball was given
at the residence of Mr.. Barnsley, one of
the merchant princes Of Savannah who
is still remembered by the oldest citizens
for his courtesy, high character and
hospitality. Among those who par
ticlpated IN the gay scene were
the Misses Margaret and Emily
Hills. There are still in Savannah those
who were present at the ball. 1t was
such an elegant affair that the late
Senator Henry B. Anthony, of Provi-
dence, II. l., who was one of the guests,
wrote poem descriptive of it, and had
it printed. Copies OF the poem are still
to be found in the homes of some of
Savannah old families.
In the poem Mrs. Henry w Hills and
her daughters were referred to as fol-
lows:
But living pictures fast before us rise
And breathing loneliness Salutes our eyes
Behold that form in Queenly beauty stand,
Two graceful maidens, kneeling at each
hand;
Round her slight wrist the glittering jewels
Jewels less brilliant than her own dark
eye"
Again in the poem, Miss Margaret
Hills Is referred to in the following line:
"Spain's loyeliest maiden meets the rap
tured gaze"
After Mrs. Hills and her daughters re-
turned to their home Miss Margaret
Hills became the wife of William Parker
The announcement of her death recalls to
a few Old citizens of Savannah interest
ing events in the society life of the city of
long ago.

A QUESTION OF DOMAIN.
A Point the City Ordinances Ought to
Cover If They Do Not.

Mr.. E. c. Gleason yesterday filed a
complaint at the city exchange against
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way for violating the city ordinance pro-
hibiting upturning Of the soil during the
summer months
AS Mr.. Gleason was going out Wheaton
street about o'clock yesterday morning
he noticed a train of cars on the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway track
along the Bilbo canal loaded with
dirt which had been freshly taken
from the banks of the canal The
dirt was probably being moved to
be used in filling in elsewhere along the
road. Mr.. Gleason is of the opinion that
if a private citizen is prohibited from
turning up barrowful of dirt in the
street that railroad corporation has no
right to move earth from along the canal
banks by the train load and he thought
proper to make a complaint.
The city ordinance on this subject only
prohibits the turning up of soil in the
streets and public domain, and says moth
ing about property owners disturbing the
soil on their premises.

RATES TO Be ADJUSTED.
4 Satisfactory Arrangement With the
Southeastern Tariff Association.

Secretary Tupper's Conference With
the Savannah Underwriters Assures
a Restoration Of the Rates in Force
Before the Recent Increase.
Secretary Upper, Of the Southeastern
Tariff Association, finished up his work
in Savannah in regard to the naval stores
and fertilizer rates yesterday. A meeting
of the local underwriters was held at
Hull Il Bearings Office in the afternoon
10 hear the report of the committee which
has been comforting with Mr. Upper.
The meeting was considered quite a large
one, fourteen of the sixteen insurance
agents Of the city being present.
The questions under review were dis
cussed. A satisfactory report was made
by the committee The local underwrit-
ers agreed to support Mr.. Upper in his
demand that naval stores and cotton
should be sufficiently separated to pre-
vent communication Of fire from one to
the other in case of con-
fagratiOn. Mr.. Tupper's recommends
ton with regard to precautions
TO be exercised in the warehouses and on
the wharves were regarded as very
reasonable by the meeting, and the agents
will cooperate with him in the effort TO
reduce the risks.
Mr.. Upper stated after the meeting
that there is no doubt that the rates upon
naval stores will be satisfactorily ad-
justed, and the old rates will be practi-
cally reinstated. The new rates are not
in force, but will be altered shortly. Sa-
vannah's business men will have no rea-
son to complain Of the rates given them,
he said. Mr.. Upper will spend to-day at
Tybee, and will return TO Atlanta to-
night.

THE JURY OUT ALL NIGHT.
Likely 10 be a MiStTial On the Car
hart Case.

Judge Falligant Entertains a Motion
for New Trial in the Epstein-Wenn-
bacher Case-A Batch Of Petty Grim
inals in the City Court Disposed of.
The Coast Line Case to Go Back to
the Master.
The jury in the Carhart case was
charged yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
by Judge MacDonel, who reviewed the
evidence fully, and put both sides Of the
case strongly before them.
The jury then went out to deliberate,
and at an early hour this morning were
still in the jury room. It looks very much
now as if it were going to be a mistrial,
as they had reached no conclusion, and
gave no intimation that
conclusion was near at
hand. The case has occupied the entire
week in the city court, and a mistrial
would involve another trial and large
additional expense.
Mr.. Geo. B. Carhart and his son left
for New York last night, not waiting to
hear the result of their petition.

COULDN'T FORM A COMBINE.
The Southern Bakers Meet without
Taking any Action.

Mr. r. f. Walthour returned yesterday
from Philadelphia, where he went to at
tend a meeting of the southern abkers
on last Thursday.
The object of the meeting was to form
a combine and make scale of prices. 1t
seems that the New Orleans and Balti-
more concerns were selling and paying
freight on crackers and biscuit cheaper
than they could be sold by other concerns
in the south The meeting was held in order
if possible to put all the concerns on the
same basis. There were twenty-three
delegates present, representing seventy
ovens.
The New Orleans concerns were ready
to sign the agreement at once, but the
Baltimore people refused outright to enter
into any such agreement, and after dis
cussing the situation for an entire day,
the meeting adjourned without reaching
any tangible results.

MAY BE A POST MoRTEM.
A Good Deal or Talk Current About
Hover's Death.

AONOA . OCdbhs
There is a great deal of talk current
about the circumstances surrounding the
death of L. L. Hover, who was found
dead in his bed few days ago.
The general opinion seems to be that
there should be a post norton examina-
ton held to determine definitely as to
whether there is any truth in the many
about his death. There seems
to have been some doubt
as to the authority of the coroner to hold
post norton and then have chemical
analysis made at the expense of the
county.
The law on the subject as taken from
Cobb's digest is as follows:
Be it enacted That from and after the pas
sage OF this act il shall be lawful for every
physician and surgeon who shall be sum
moned by the sheriff or coroner OF the county
to make post mortem examinations for the in
formation Of JuT1CS Of inquest to charge and
receive from the treasurer of the county the
sum following, tO-wit: For each post mortem
examination where death has resulted from
external violence, where no dissection is ne
ceSssary, $40; the same where dissection is
necessary and where no tnterment has been
made, SO; for the same after one or more
days Of interment $50; Tor the same where
any chemical analysis is required the sum on
$50 and the expense Of such analysis, provid-
ing that the compensation allowed in this act
shall not extend TO more than one physician
for each post mortem examination.
Most of the act with the exception of
that part about chemical analysis has
been repealed. That portion, however, is
still in force, and there is no doubt but
that the coroner has the right to have
such an examination held at the county's
expense when he deems it necessary.
Detective Morgan is working up evil
dence in the case and it may be that the
solicitor viii order an exhumation and an
examination of the body.

THE EAST BROAD EXTENSION.
The Property Owners Committee to
Take Immediate Steps.

The owners of property on the line Of
the extension of East Broad street south
ward, are again agitating the question Of
opening that street. The committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting of those inter-
ested, has been inactive owing to the
absence of its chairman, Mr.. Geo. A. Hud-
son, but he has returned and it is ex-
pected that the movement will now take
definite shape. Nearly all of the land
owners have given the right of way
through their holdings. and it is expected
that the cooperation of all of them will be
secured. The opening of East Broad
street will be of great advantage in the
development of the southeastern suburbs.
