Legal bubbles Over the Case OF the Dover
Duchess Of Sutherland.

LONDON, April so.-Ths report given out
that the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland,
who was sentenced to six weeks imprison.
ment In Holloway Jail for contempt OF
court, had been locked up, was erroneous.
After imposition of the sentence the
dowager duchess obtained from Justice
Jeaune, before whom the proceedings
against her were taken. an order permit
ting her TO 60 to . village near Windsor,
with the understanding that she would
surrender herself to the authorities yester-
day.
Il b said that the dowager duchess was
taken suddenly Ill during the night. A
physician was in constant attendance upon
her until o'clock, when her condition
was such that he summoned another doc
tor to consult on the case Some news
papers argue that, In sentencing the dow
ager duchess, Justice Juene exceeded his
authority, and point out In support of
their contention that peeress Is exempt
from arrest In q civil case. This gives color
to statement that has been made that the
committal order against her had not been
withdrawn.
Justice Juene Is consulting with his
colleagues on the question On the other
hand 1t IL sontepded that the offense with
which the dowager duchess is charged,
with the burning Of a paper confded to
her for inspection, Is criminal. in whic h
event, according to the law,ssa washer
woman Is the equal of peeress.

AN OLD TIME FRIENDSHIP.
Notes of the Ring.

Jim DAILY, at one time Corbett's SPAR
ring partner. is now giving lessons in the
manly art to the members of the Buffalo
Athletic Club.
Manager Brady says Corbett will quiet
Fitzsimmons after the fight with Mitchell.
Fitzsimmons will probably be at the ring
side and challenge the winner.
Corbett, from all accounts, is in great
shape and his training now is for wind.
There is a difference of four years In
the ages of Mitchell and Corbett, and the
difference in weight is eight pounds.
It is expected that there will be an at
tendance at the fight of over 1900, and
the income from the sale of tickets will
be in the neighborhood Of 100000.
Mitchell will not wear John Bulls col
lars when he fights Corbett.
Seats at the Corbett-Mitchell fight will
cost SO, SIS and $50; box seats are selling
for S25 which includes admission.
Up to the present time no certificates
for tickets have been issued for tickets at
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way ticket office, but a, large number of
people have said they are going to the
fight.
A rich sporting club in Havana wants
Corbett and Mitchell to appear in "a carni-
val to be held in February they dividing
the honors with a pair of bulls costing $23-
600, the four attractions being imported
especially for the occasion.

coTToN's BIG RECEIPTS.
12e, 4o4 Bales More This Year So Far
Than Last Year.


The receipts of cotton at this port from
the opening of the season, Sept. 1, up to
the closing of the year last night, were
1872, 271 bales against Cos, 500 bales for the
same period in 1892. showing an increase
of 126, 404 bales over last year.
These enormous receipts are owing to
the general advanced movement of cotton
throughout the south. On account of ex-
cellent weather since the begin
ming of the season, the crop has
been harvested earlier than usual
and the general stringency of the money
I market has caused the staple TO be sent
to market as soon as possible.
Savannah is holding its own as TO the
amount of receipts, being third in the list
of the leading ports, and only $1,000 be-
hind Galveston. New Orleans has re-
ceived l, 100000 bales and is the first on
the list
To show the growing Importance Of
Savannah and Che energy exercised by its
business men in securing facilities for of
fering market and handling cotton, to-
gether with the advantages of the port,
the comparisons between the present and
past years are given. In the season of
/ 1912 the entire crop of the south was
9,035, 379 bales. Savannah received ,027, =
$40 bales, and of this amount IT'S, S75 bales
49, ICSCiNI0 Nun AJSPVs - AOVl9 W DcOs
81. 1891.
During the season of 1892 the entire
crop of the south was 600, 1865 bales, of
which Savannah received 793. 1893 bales
during the season, and COS 1863 bales from
Sept. l, 1892, TO Dec. 81, 1892.
The present season of 1893-94 ends Aug
81. 1894 and there have been various es-
Inmates as to what the crop will be- The
lowest recent estimate, made by a reco0-
nized authority, is $1,000 bales, while
one well-known authority has estimated
the crop at 100000 bales. The more
conservative authorities calculate that it
will be from 10000 to 100000 bales
Taking these average estimates,
which are conceded TO be
fair and correct, by the
majority of those interested. The
crop will be about 100000 bales more than
that Of last year, and 1000, 600 less than
that of the season of 1912, which was
the largest ever known.
The receipts at Savannah from Sept.
to Dec. 81, 1891, were, as stated, 775.S75
bales. The receipts for the same time
this year were 1872, 27l bales, or only 43,
GOA bales less than the unprecedented
crop year. According to these figures it
will be seen that Savannah is leading in
cotton receipts.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-12-31

"The officers of the company speedily
recognized the worth of the little instru-
ment, and the young man was asked to
name his figure for the invention. Edison
had previously made up his mind II he re-
ceived IS 900 for it he would be doing well,
but he modestly answered that he would
leave that matter with the company. An
other consultation of the directors was
held, and much TO Edison's surprise he
was offered S40,000 for his little invention.
Concealing his amazement as much as
possible, the inventor closed the bargain,
not, however, without lingering suspi-
cion that the company intended to get the
better Of the deal. and to do him out of
his invention. The bargain was closed,
and Edison received a check for his
money. More trouble confronted him
when he went to the bank TO have it
cashed. The clerks looked askance at the
stranger who wanted so large a check
turned into cash, and informed the young
man that he would have TO be identified.
A clerk from tho Western Union telegraph
Office furnished the necessary identiiica-
ton, and the cashier set about paying
over the money.
edison had requested that the money
be paid to him in s. and $40 bills, and the
cashier began tossing out the packages In
lively order. Edison started in to dispose
of the packages. and first filed the inside
pockets of his coat; then the outside
pockets were filled to their full capacity.
Still the bundles kept coming, and down
they went into trousers pockets. Finally,
when all his pockets were filled, he
opened his vest and slowed the surplus
packages down into the waist of his
trousers. Literally loaded with green
backs, he returned TO Newark, where he
was then residing. The possession OF
such an amount of money gave him con-
siderable uneasiness, and he returned
next day to the Western Union Office in
New York, where he was advised to de-
posit his money in a bank, and later
turned a large portion of it into channels
that have since rendered to him good
accounting"
