THE MEASURE OF SENATOR HIGGINS.
The more the case Of the fight against
Major Wootten Is discussed, the more
humiliating IL will be to Senator Hig-
gins. AS a matter Of fact Senator Gray
the most smiable of men, would have
been willing to concede courtesy to
Senator Higgins. Senator Gray disliked
TO make the exposure Of the spite aud
vindictiveness of Delawarean and a
brother Senator and It's cause. But
tie 6Rht against Major Wootten was
pitch6d-on such despicably mean and
ungentlemanly plane that Senator Gray 5
Indignation was aroused.
Practically, Major Wootten's nomina
tlon was defeated II would have been
allowed to 60 by default, but for the un-
fairness, obscenity and virulence Of the
attack. There is some opposition In the
Senate TO sending men from the East to
occupy positions in the West; there Is
the Senatorial courtesy" which enabled
Senator Hill to prevent the confirmation
Of Hornblower; there are his party col.
lesgues. who are ever anxious to oppose
the administration. But, after uniting
ali Of these forces and employing his
own personal knowledge Of the events
and pleading for the preservation Of his
own character and reputation, Senator
Higgins had only nineteen Senator'S with
him, In opposition to Senator Gray, in
addition TO an unfavorable report of the
committee.

TIE facility with which the partisans
have turned the reversal Of the Harrison
Stevens policy and the rout Of the annex

claim that Cleveland is defeated because

Senator Joe Blackburn, Of Kentucky
What fund of humor and power OF en-
tertsinment the name implies. He is an
originator as well as an imitator and, as
a narrator of anecdote, has few equals in
the United States.
He was the life Of the trip on the Chris
tiana and Delaware on Saturday, and,
wherever he went on the Ulrica, was
followed by many persons who found
delight in his witty remarks and droll
narration.
Talking comes natural to him. He
cannot help it He never inhicts upon
his hearers anything prosaic
When he leaves the halls of legisla-
tion he leaves tariff argument and sta
tistical citations TO men who have
nothing more cheerful to think about.
For his part he is among his fellowmen
to make them feel more cheerful by his
presence. His composition is such that he
plays upon the chords which vibrate in

party. But no man must presume upon

THE ELECTION 70 GO OVER.
The Vacancy in Council Not Likely to
Be Filled Tonight.


There does not appear to be any prob
ability of the vacancy in council, caused
by the resignation of Alderman Haines
at the last regular meeting, being filed
at the meeting tonight.
Mayor McDonOugh said yesterday that
he did not expect any names to be pre-
sented at the meeting tonight, and that
in all likelihood the election will so
over until the next regular meeting. The
declination of Mr. S. E. Theus to allow
his name to be used for the vacancy has
put the aldermen in a quandary Mr.
Theus' election was assured, and it had
not occurred to his friends on the board
that he would decline the honor. No
effort appears to have been made to push
any one for the place, but some good man
will doubtless be secured within the next
two weeks.
The bill of John Rourke & Son for the
machinery work of the new disinfecting
plant at the quarantine station will prob
ably be passed upon tonight. The bill,
which amounts to several thousand
dollars, has been due for some time,
but payment has been delayed on account
of complaint of defects in some portions
of the work. 1t is believed now that
these defects have been remedied and the
bill will probably be ordered paid Mayor

A First Mortgage on the Marion Phos-

Mr.. J. Mclaughlin sold at auction on
the steps of the custom house yesterday
100000 Of first mortgage bonds of the
Marion Phosphate Company, which were
issued some time ago to secure an indebt-
edness, they being held by the company
as collateral.
The company found 1t necessary to sell
the bonds to comply with an agreement
made with the holders of some outstand-
ing notes for which bonds were pledged
An agreement was made by which the
stockholders were to subscribe for the
bonds, but some of them refused to take
their pro rata, the chief among them be-
ing MIR. E. w. ARnew. of Ocala. Fla .
The bonds were pledged as collateral
security 10 some of the stockholders for
money advanced, ami in order to avoid
any question about price OF fairness they
were put up at public cutlery and sold to
the highest bidder. They were bought
in by syndicate composed of some of the
stockholders among them being those
who had subscribed to their pro rata Of the
bonds They determined that as all the
stockholders would not take their shares
they would buy them in at the lowest
price they could, and the stockholders who
did buy them at 40 per cent the highest
price bid, had already subscribed to them
at a higher price.
The bonds have now passed out of the
companys hands, and when the syndi-
cate completes the plans that have
ben formulated the company's indebt-
edness on the notes win be ca n
celed. This company owns "a. 457 acres of

Mr.. Polk Miller gave a most interesting
entertainment at the Young Mems Christ
ian Association hall last night. His rep
utation as dialect reciter had preceded
him TO Savannah, and he was greeted by
large and cultured audience. MIR Mil
Ter is a business man of Richmond, who
gives his time to this subject from choice,
as he enjoys the study of character
sketches of the old Virginia plantation
negro.
He was introduced to his audience in a
few appropriate and interesting remarks
by MIR. Fl. M. Stoddard and entered at
once into his subject. He spoke of the
fact that the time when the south was
like Garden of Eden both to the whites
and to the negroes had long passed away.
He told in an interesting manner of his
experience as a youth around the old
plantations, and his personal remin-
tscences were. interesting, and at times
pathetic.
He paid pleasant tribute to the old
time negro, who was faithful to the wife
and children of his master, when his mas
ter was away from home and in the
midst of battle, and the loyalty of tn e old
slaves was highly commended. When a
youth he was surrounded by the slaves on
plantation, and knew much about their
character and habits He told many in
teresting stories of their quaint and odd
characteristics, and each was so well told
that the audience greeted it with a storm
of applause
Mr.. Miller's dialect songs, in which he
accompanies himself on the banjo, were a
bright and interesting feature of the eve
n1ng's entertainment This is Mr. Mil
ler's first visit to Savannah, and there is
no doubt that larger hall will have to
be engaged next time he comes this way.

TOOK A BIG JUMP.
Savannah Construction Company's
Stock May Pay Out at Par.

stock May Pay Out at Par.
The Savannah Construction Company is
amore fortunate corporation than any one
had an idea Of few days ago.
The company has been offered so
for the bonds held on the South
bound railroad which are indorsed by
the Florida Central and Peninsular rail
road. According to calculations, this
would make the stock pay out at about
81 or 81. The company owns about
S1.500,000 par value Of these bonds, for
which the Southbound railroad stands as
security, and which, to make them more
secure, are indorsed by the Florida Cen
trial and Peninsular, which purchased
the former property.
There are outstanding 74O shares Of
stock in the Savannah Construction Com
pany, the par value of which is 81 900
per share, making a total Of $4,000
The company has an Indebtedness Of
about $500, 600. The bonds held constitute
a first mortgage on tne South bound which
is as good paying property as there is in
this section, and they are further secured
by the Endorsement on them. They pay )
per cent. interest and cons Gitute a first
class security. The offer Of 50, it is I'M
derstood, was made by some gentlemen
in Baltimore and other places in the
north.
Nc SIOCh OF bu6 CONSTRUCTION company
a little over a year ago was quoted at
about 20, but since then has steadily ad-
vanCed until some time ago il was about
go. Since this offer it has advanced rap
idly and May 81, rs was asked for it, while
yesterday it could not be bought under
So. 1t Is estimated that at the offer of so
for the bonds the company could pay
its Indebtedness and pay out the
stock at 81 or 971f. This offer,
however, was refused by the
company and the bonds will be held for
S215, the directors not be-
ing authorized to part with them under
that figure. II is estimated that at S21S
the stock will pay out at par, and it is
believed that the bonds can be sold for
that price. In the meantime good deal
of money has been made by those who
bought the stock a few days ago at
much lower figure than that at which it
is now quoted
