BOARD OF TRADE PROTESTS
Against Increased Insurance rates Of
Naval Stores.

Against Increased Insurance rates on
Naval Stores.
The Board of Trade held a meeting yes
terday to protest against the increased
insuranceon naval stores. The Insurance
companies have notified the naval stores
men that the rate will be increased on
"fioatersn and that naval stores, stored
within a certain distance of cotton must
pay the cotton risk, which is a consider
able increase.
One naval stores firm, which has been
paying over "a 900 year premium, under
stands that the increased rate will make
its premiums nearly $1,000.
The following resolutions, offered by
Mr.. James Farel, Jr., were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the fact that the
naval stores business has paid such large
premiums during the past ten years, without
making any claims excepting the small claims
arising out Of the Gordon wharf fire the pro-
posed insurance rate on floating policies Is
unjust and unfair.
crease on naval stores when exposed by cotton
risk is also unjust and unfair to the naval
stores trade, and appears to be an effort to
throw in part the cotton risk on the naval
stores business.
Resolved further, That committee Of
three be appointed by the chair to confer with
the insurance agents and protest against the
increased rates.
Mr.. Earle, Mr.. Walter Coney and Mr..
G. ID. Baldwin were appointed to confer
with the insurance men.

business from the Central Railroad offices,
Mr. Hopkins said, but took their chances
along with the rest. The prices quoted
SIS and $50 per thousand were as low as
could be obtained, and the lum0er ordered
from Henry James 4 Co. was subject to
inspection and refusal if 10 did not come
up TO standard. He stated that Henry
James & Co. had not quoted at $50 80 as
good a quality of lumber. as was ordered.
The lumber quoted at this figure was not
the lumber priced at S75 and $50. II was
shown that none of the lumber they had
procured for the Central had ever been
rejected. The examination was stopped
at o'clock to be resumed at 10 O'Clock
this morning.
MR.. TILNEY's CENTRAL STOCK
The court of Master in Chancery Owens
also held a session of about thirty min
utes yesterday morning but very little
OF an interesting nature was done.
Mr.. West wanted to show by introduce
ing some of the Central's books that Jno.
5. Tilney of Orange, n. j., owned 500
shares Of Central stock acquired by him
between 1889 and 1885. This was decided
unnecessary as it was admitted by Capt.
H. Q. Cunningham
Mr.. Pat Calhoun introduced several
resolutions and extracts from the min
utes of the Central's directors, showing
when the directors had agreed to endorse
the bonds Of the Savannah and Western
railroad, and also showing the statements
Of the president with regard to the pur-
chase Of the Chattanooga, Rome add Co
lumbus bonds by Simon Borg & Co. The
resolution in regard to the consolidation
OF the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
with the Savannah and Western, the re-
ports with regard to the consolidation,
the resolution in regard to the contract
with the Macon and Northern and the
execution of the guarantee of the Central
upon the bonds of that road were also in
PRODUCED and made part of the testi-
mony.
Mr.. A. r. Lawton also introduced some
extracts from the directors minutes in re-
gard to the above points, in order that
full and clear explanation of the action of
the directors on them might be had.

DIAMOND ROBBERS CAPTURED.
The Crowd That PinOhed the De sOtc

The Crowd That Punched the De Soto
Caught in New York.
Two of the De Soto diamond robbers
have been captured, and Detective Bossell
has added another leaf to his record of
successes
Willie Brown and Lee Hoist are the
names of the robbers. They were arrest
ed yesterday afternoon in New York by
Detective Doran on information furnished
by Deceive Bossell, who has been working
on the case about three weeks.
Both are colored youths who were bell
boys at the De Soto during the winter
They went to New York two months ago.
There are three more bell boys and a
white woman who worked at the De Soto
to be arrested for the robbery, and
Detective Bossell expects telegram to-
day announcing their capture.
1t will be remembered that last March
jewelry to the value of $500 was stolen
from the trunk of Miss Mclaughlin of
Brooklyn while she was out riding. A
false key was used to open the trunk
About the same time Miss Appleton's
jewelry was taken. The proprietors of
the DeSoto called in several detectives,
but no clew to the robbers could
be discovered and it began to look as If
the affair was to be forever shrouded
in mystery.
Finally Detective Bossell was given the
case and he went to work with the deter
minatiou to unravel it. His theory from
the start was that the robbery had been
committed by people thoroughly ac-
quainted with the house, He soon re-
ceived information that several bell boys
had been seen with tewelry and securing
their names he watched for letters from
them to their friends here After a weeks
patient waiting he managed to get hold
of letter from one of the suspects and it
not only contained the story of The rob-
berry, but gave the name of a jewelry
store in Maiden Lane at which the arti-
cles had been sold.
The letter also mentioned the fact that
the white woman referred to above had
acted as q fence for the boys in Savannah
and hid the jewelry for them while the
other detectives were trying to work
the case. Acting on this information
Detective Bossell communicated with
Detective Doran with the result that two
of therobbers were piclxkd up yesterday.
The kilograms to detective Bossell said the
others would probably be arrestd in
a few hours. Either detective Bossell
or Detective Hanley will start for New
York to-day to get the robbers, and while
there will endeavor to recover the stolen
jewelry

THE BoURoU1N CASE ON.
Trial of Father and Son for Killing
G. w. Farrell Started Yesterday.

Trial of Father and Son for Killing
G. w. Farrell Started Yesterday.
The murder trial of Gugie Bourquin and
his son, Guillemain Bourquin, for killing
G. w. Farrell at the Bourquin plantation
near the city, Christmas eve last, was be-
gun in the superior court yesterday and
ran until after 10 o'clock last night The
trial will last through to-day and the jury
will hardly get the case before tonight.
The trial attracted large audience to
the court room during the day, and much
interest was manifested The defendants
were surrounded by their friends, and the
dead mans wife; fIither and brother we're
also there. The jury was not secured
until after 10 o'clock. Five panels wers
exhausted eighteen went off for causes,
the state struck ten and the defense If
teen. The twelve men finally selected
are:
Henry w. Hoffman, Daniel Corners,
ThOs. T. Campeau, Jas. S. Tally, Thad-
deus H, Morel, VIM. p. Crimson, Henry
d. Krenson, Chris H. Conner, Harry
Willink, VIM. G. Workman, L. Baker,
j. V. Johnston.
Solicitor General Fraser is assisted in
the prosecution by J. S. Griffin, ESQ, of
81 L.
Saussy 81 Saussy are defending Messrs.
Bourquiu.
The first witness introduced by the
state was man named Potter, who was
with Farrell at the time of the shooting.
His testimony was rather contradictory
as to who fired the first shot, and he did
not prove very strong witness.
Solicitors General Fraser and the attor-
ney for the defense had quite tilt about
the iOtr16 rfHfR of t1o 10 Ill
mortem statements. Judge FalHgant
ruled out two because the state could not
prove Farrell knew he was dying at the
time he made the statements third
was finally admitted on proof being sub
mitted that Farrell said he knew he had
no chance for recovery. ~
Mrs. Farrell was on the stand several
hours. Her testimony was entirely what
her husband had told her after being
shot. Mr.. Richards tried to get Mrs.
Farrell to admit that her husband had
been violent man and threatened to kill
her several times, but she denied it.
The arguments in the case to-day will
be the most interesting feature.
In the case of Henry Rich VS.. S. K. Plat
shek in the city court yesterday iudg-
ment was rendered for the plaintiff for
$3.50. The circumstances of the case were
that Richs wife sold ten shares of Plant
ers' Rice Mill stock to Mr.. Platshek with
out the knowledge or consent of her
husband. AS soon as he learned of the
transaction Mr.. Rich entered suit for re-
covery against Mr.. Platshek. Mrs Rich
deserted her husband some months ago,
and he recently secured divorce.
All the petit Jurors of the superior
court not on duty in the Bourqnin case
are excused until tomorrow morning at
10 O'Clock.

lots was the livliest that has been seen
for months. The sale resulted in large
number of people securing handsome lit
tie farms for themselves at prices ranging
from SO to S4S per acre.
The sale demonstrated that in spite of
hard times, people have not lost their
faith in real estate.

The Al. Miller Company in the Hands
of Receiver.

The A ]. Miller Furniture Company
went into the hands of a receiver yester-
day by order of Judge Falligant on the
petition of Griffin u Seller, who represent
a number of northern creditors. Clayton
p. Miller was made temporary receiver
under bond of 50 900, and the court ap-
pointed tomorrow at 9 $50 o'clock as the
time for hearing on the question of a
permanent receiver.
1t, has been known for a week that the
Miller Company was financially embar-
assed, and the failure was not a surprise.
The liabilities are in the neigh borhood of
S25, 900, and the assets are said to be con-
siderably over this amount, but on ac-
count of being unable to make necessary
financial arrangements tho officers of the
company decided to let the establishment
go into the hands of receiver without
any preferences, for the benefit of all
creditors. Charlton, Mackall & Ander-
son have a number of claims in addition

DRANK LAUDANUM AND DIED.
An indian Street Woman Follows
Alex Georges Example.

Alex Georges Example.
Mrs Annie Ennis committed suicide
yesterday al her home on Indian street
within a block Of the house in which
old man Alexander George ended his life
by morphine Monday morning The wo-
man used laudanum which she purchased
at Cooks drug store at Farm and Indian
streets.
She was discovered shortly after swal-
lowing the drug and Drs. K. G. and w e.
Norton were summoned. Mrs. Ennis was
unconscious when the physicians arrived,
but they worked hard on her until
o'clock with a stomach pump and hypo-
dermic injections of nitro-glycerine with
out avail. The poison had accomplished
the end desired by the unfortunate wo-
man and half an hour after the physicians
relinquished their labors, she died.
Mrs Ennis was about forty years old,
and a widow of Harry Ennis, who was
murdered in Yamacraw several years ago
by Spanish John, She had been in ill
health for several months and when she
heard about Georges suicide day before
yesterday, Mrs. Ennis grew quite enthusi-
astic over the easy death the old man had
given himself with morphine, she told
number of her friends that she believed
she would also put an end to herself and
escape her earthly sufferings in a similar
manner.
Nobody paid much attention to the
woman's talk, but the idea of suicide
by poison made such an impression on
her mind that she determined to make
the trial. However, she chose laudanum
instead of morphine. Druggist Cook
asked Mrs. Ennis when she applied for
the poison what she intended doing with
it and she, answered that Mrs. McCor-
mick wanted it for toothache As the
drug is commonly used for this purpose,
the druggist did not hesitate to sell it to
her.
Justice Naughtin decided an inquest
unnecessary and gave permit for the
burial of Mrs. Ennis.

No better argument than this can be
