physician. Mr. Elliott developed strange
mania in the last few days. AS is gener-
ally known, he is the inventor of an auto
matte lifting apparatus which is now in
use at the lower compress The invention
is thought by many to be a valuable one.
Mr.. Elliott became possessed of the idea
that an immense fortune was in sight as
the result of it, and so informed all with
whom he discussed the subject. He Of
fered positions to several of his friends at
immense salaries, and even telegraphed
friends and relatives at a distance to
| come to Savannah at once to enter bust
ness with him. His malady became so
serious that he was taken charge
of by his physician. He has
since been confined to his home.
Mr. Elliott is one of the most popular
and most highly esteemed young man in
the city, and his many friends sincerely
hope that his arrangement is only tempo
rary. 1t is believed to be the result of
continued close application AMI study of
his invention.

"a BUSY CoRNER.n
The z. NJ. O. AS Announcement and
It's Work for the Coming Year.

It's Work for the Coming Year.
"a Busy Corner" is the title of the an.
nouncement, published as a neat little
years work of the Y. NJ. G. A., and it is
surprising what a cal of information
with regard to that able and worthy in
stitution has been put into so small a
space.
The announcements will be mailed to
members and others this morning They
give in brief, and at the same time in de-
tail, what will be the history of the asso-
cation and its work for tine year that is
before it.
The busy corner referred to is the
Young Mems Christian Association rooms
at Bull and Jones streets, aud to all APP
pearances if the programme {; outlined
for the year is carried out it will be busy
indeed, and not only busy but attractive
and entertaining besides.
The association says the announcement
combines the features of a club, a home
an athletic and literary society, as well as
religious and practical helpful agencies.
Those in charge of the work have exerted
every effort to keep the rooms well
furnished and as comfortable as could be
desired, and they have not fallen short of
their endeavOrs
The association is lacking in no respect
so far as its social features are concerned.
Its well furnished parlors and game
rooms, its pleasant and well stocked read
ing rooms, the members monthly meet
ings, the annual reception on New Years
day and other social features equally as
attractive, form a collective and we'll ar
ranged whole, which during the course of
year can furnish amusement and enter
tainment 10 suit any taste and to please
all
The monthly meetings for the members
are among the most interesting ana en-
tertaining features of the association.
At these meetings arrangements for
talk from some practical business man,
or from some professional man, are being
made, and the programme for the next
five months has already been filled
Among the speakers already chosen are
Messrs. John Nicolson, Jr., who will de-
liver a talk at the October meeting on
The Worlds Fair; DR.. NJ. T. Davis, who

DIPLOMACY A SUCCESS.
The Coghlan Company Greeted by An
Enthusiastic Audience.

lAA0AeAaaAAA saAAAEAANs
The Coghlan Company in Diplomacy
Victorien Sardou's famous comedy, pre-
sented decidedly the best show Of the
season al the theater last night, and al
though reserved seats sold at an ad-
vanced price. Miss Coghlan was greeted
by the largest and one Of the best au-
diences that has been seen at the theater
in some time
In ner original character. Miss Cogh-
Ian displayed, in their full intensity, all
the feeling and emotions Of the arUful and
designing Countess Zicka, and her sup
port was fully up 10 the standard Of
I lrst-class troupe.
A great deal was lost however, in the
absence of Mr. Charles Coghlan, who has
been detained in Atlanta by illness since
last Monday. He is considered an essen
tial part Of the company, at least the life
and spirit of the male portion, and his
absence from a performance is always
felt.
The costuming of the entire company
was excellent. 1t gave an added effect to
the portrayal of the parts. Miss COgh-
Ian's dresses and jewels are famous
wherever she has appeared
Diplomacy had a great run in New
York, and its success has been well
merited.
With the company is an artist whose
fame as a sculptor has besn made ma
tional by the attention her work has re-
ceived in the metropolis, and whose eff
forts as an actress may meet with equal
success. Miss Kuhne Beveridge appeared
last night as Mon, maid
to the marquise, which, though
minor part, was well portrayed. She
will have leading part in Miss Coghlan's
company, in her new play, on their return
to New York.
1T is as a sculptor that Miss Beveridge
is best known. She has made busts of
President Cleveland, Vice President
Stevenson, Pugilist Corbett and others,
which have been universally admired.
Her latest works are busts of
Lieut. Gov. Shields and Sarony, the
well-known New York photographer.
Her work has received more attention
from the New York press than that of
any other sculptor of the time, and from
all accounts no praise bestowed has been
better deserved Miss Beverage is tray
cling with her mother, in spite of whose
persuasion she persists in satisfying her
love for the stage, although her talents
and her genius lie in sculpturing in
which ranks she is destined to stand
among the foremost

Secretary Jas. A. Dorritee, whose
efficient services have had great deal to

do all this year that it promises. The
other officers of the association are: G.

THE MOVEMENT OF RICE.
The Crop Coming In Slowly and the
Quality Not as Good as 1t Might Be

The Crop Coming in Slowly and the
Quality Not as Good as 1t Might Be.
New rice from the fields is coming in
very slowly as compared with what it did
at thi. time last year. and the prospect is
that in this section at least it will not
move much more rapidly at any time
during'the season.
The estimates of the damage from the
storm of Aug. "a are being well borne out
by the movement of the crop, as up to the
present time this market has not received
three-fourths of the amount that was
marketed here up to the same date last
year.
In comparative receipts, however, Sa-
vannah is way ahead of New Orleans.
That port has received only about one
half the amount that was marketed there
up to the same time last year,
and the prospects are that that state will
make only three-fourthS of the usual crop
this year.
The computed damage from the storm
in this section was about IS per cent,
while the actual total loss, as estimated
by Mr.. John Screven, Jr., and others,
will reach about 40 per cent. There have
been no indications, so far as the receipts
from the crop up to date or the advices
received from the rice plantations are
concerned, to lead any of the rice men to
vary these estimates.
While 40 per cent. is considered total
loss, the actual damage is much larger,
on account of the fact that much of the
rice was destroyed by being beaten down,
and some of it by lack of attention just
after the storm. Two of the planters out
on the Ogeechee, who considered that
their crops had been damaged compare
lively little as a result of the storm, have
found since they began to cut the crop
that instead of making fifty bushels to
the acre, as they expected, their crop has
been cut down to thirty bushels, on ac-
count Of the fact that much of the rice
was beaten off the stalk by the blow
Several of them also suffered from the
fact that they were unable to get labor
to repair what damage could be rem
edied
The result of the slow movement of the
crop and the poor prospect has been to
advance prices very early in the season.
Prices are far ahead of what they were
six or seven weeks ago, but they VIII still
have 10 climb higher to reach the figure
at which they stood at this time last year
The prospect is that the short crop will
accomplish this end, and that before the
close of the present season rice will COM
mand much higher figure than it did at
any time last year
A great deal of the rice that is being
marketed in this section is as result of
the storm very poor in quality, and the
loss from this source is being seriously
felt by some of the planters. Some of the
rice chat is not filled out by the grain,
and other lots are coming in stained.
This of course brings IA much lower fig
ure than the higher grades, and yet many
of these same lots might have been of the
higher grade if it had not been for severe
weather which it has experienced.

ONE BY ONE THEY GO.
Master Mechanic Anderson of the oe

Master Mechanic Anderson of the Gem
trail the Fourth to Leave a Vacancy.
The resignation Of Master Mechanic J.
j. Anderson was requested yesterday,
and the vacancy he left behind him was
at once filed by MIR, Brice Irwin, who
has for some time been in charge of the
Central shops at Chattanooga.
The change was somewhat of a surprise
to MIR. Anderson, as well as to his friends
among the force under him, as the first
known of it was the informa tion he re-
ceived on appearing at the shops at the
usual hour yesterday morning He has
been in charge of the shops here about a
year, having gone in under Superintend-
ent Wadley's administration of the oper-
ating department.
Mr.. Brice Irwin, Mr.. Anderson's sue
cessor, has been employed in railroad
shops for years. From the Macon shops
he came here some years ago as a fore
man in the Savannah shops, where he re-
manned until he was put in charge of the
shops in Chattanooga. He has been con-
nected with the Central for some time.
Other changes among the officials are
said TO be contemplated, but there is no
telling where the AK will fall next. Supt
Kline has said, however, that no man will
be removed from his position without
cause

A SMALL INCREASE SO FAR.
The First Weeks Attendance on the
Public Schools.

Not Quite 100 More Than Last Year
in the City Sohools-More Pupils Yet
to be Accounted for-No Reports Yet
Received From the County Schools.
A Meeting of the Normal Glass.
The total attendance at the public
schools this year exclusive of the night
school, the roll of which has not yet been
perfected, is just 1920 or 81 more than
were enrolled at the beginning of the
school term last year. This total was OBJ
tanned from the reports of the principals
and teachers of the various schools which
were sent'in to Superintendent Baker yes
terday. The increase is not as heavy as
was expected, but it is certain to be aug
mented by new additions within the next
few days
Two or three rooms at the East Broad
street colored school have not yet been
completed and made ready for occupancy,
and the pupils who fill these will have to
be added to the list. Then, too, an in
crease is expected in the night school, and
altogether it is probable that the total
will run at least $50 above what it was
the year before.
COMPARATIVE TOTALS AT THE SCHOOLS.

ment of the attendance on the different

especially for them and TOR racing pur-
poses alone. They weigh but twenty
pounds each, the handle bars are set some
distance below the head, rising with q
graceful curve, and they are plated with
aluminium, which prevents them from
furnishing or rusting. They are by far
the prettiest wheels that have yet been
seen on a Savannah track.

DR.. FARRELL to Remain Here.
The quarterly conference of Trinity
Methodist church met last night and

sided at the Western conference which
met in St Louis this week and to which

self until the transfer was made TO the

in St. Louis, and the appointment was
read, assigning him to the First church
of that city.
The announcement in the MORNING

nation had been given of the contem-
plated change The quarterly conference
expressed its regret at losing DR.. FARRELL
and determined to use every EFFORT to Sc
cure his retention consistent with the
