COL. oLms1EAD BACK HOME.
He Reached the City Last Night and
Is with His Family at Raanlieu.

He Reached the City Last Night and
Is With His Family at Beaulieu.
Col Charles H. Olmstead returned to
! the city last night and is now at his home
al Beaulieu The news Of his return
spread rapidly through the city and Vas
the subject of gossip among those who
heard it, The return was by many unex-
pected and naturally created c0nsidera-
bic surprise. IL was no surprise to Col.
Olmsteads friends, however, several Of
whom were acquainted with his intention
10 return TO the city. He arrived on the
Central train from Atlanta at G. 3Oo'clock.
He was met by a member Of his family
with a carriage and taken at once to
Beaulieu.
Col. Olmsteads return sets at rest
many rumors as to his whereabouts and
gives great satisfaction to his friends. 1t
is understood that his friends will at
once proceed 10 straighten out his affairs
and put them in proper shape. Those
most interested had already come for
ward and stated their willingness to do
everything in their power to enable him
10 straighten out the taugle in which his
financial affairs are supposed 10 be in
volved, and numerous offers of pecuniary
assistance, it is said have been made.
There is now, it is believed no doubt
that the pecuuiary losses in the transac-
tons in which Col Olmstead is Under
stood 10 have been engaged, are much
less than has been generally reported,
and that they viii be easily replaced by
voluntary offers from his friends. A ru-
NOR was in circulation yesterday to the
effect that the safety deposit box of Col.
Olmstead bank was to be opened through
legal process to ascertain the amount and
character of the securities there, as
the key was not to be found
This rumor was unfounded. The key
to the box plainly designated, was left
with Col Olmstead's papers, and was
found without trouble. The safety deposit
box was opened and the securities in
spected two or three days ago There
were many securities in the box, there
being large amount of them belonging
to the Florence Bryan estate, as well as a
large amount belonging to the estate of
Harcourt Brigham. AS the gentlemen
who made the inspection were not famil-
lar with the affairs of these estates they
could form no idea as to what proper
ton Of the estates was represented by
these securities.
Col. Olmstead's friends are of the opin-
ion that he made a great mistake in leav-
ing the city as he did, because if he were
In need of financial assistance it could
have readily been secured.

The Cotton Exchange Does Not Con.
slider 1t Representative Bale.

slider 1t Representative Bale.
The first bale of upland cotton of the
new crop was received yesterday by
Stubs & Tison, and was sent to the cot
ton exchange to be- classified. 1t was
shipped by l.. G, Council of Americas
Samples of the cotton were displayed
early in the day and cons iderable inter-
est was manifested as to its classified
ton and disposition.
The classification committee made the
following report: After examination of
said bale, we consider it new-some of it
CHASING middling, but the greater part Of
it wet, gin cut and understandable cotton
We, therefore, do not consider said bale a
fair representation of new crop cotton"
There was some disappointment caused
by the first new bale being of an inferior
quality and as no regular exporter could
handle it, it was classed as "pickingsH
and was disposed of at cents per pound
The season is backward, but it is expected
that there will be several new bales of
trst-class cotton received within the next
week or two.
The first bale of new cotton of the crop
of 1893 arrived July 20, from Americas
was classed as good middling, and sold at
auction for 10 cents per pound. The first
bale received in 1892 was reported August
L; in 1891, August 6; in 1880, August D.

LACKED one OF A HUNDRED
The Hottest August Day With One
Exception Savannah Ever Felt,

The Top Notch of Temperature 90 De-
Erees-A Fortunate Lack of Humid
ity or Savannahians Would Have
Broiled-A Wind and Rain Squall
Comes to Their Relief and Makes the
Night ComfortabIe-Wor on the
Wharves Carried on With Dimculty.
People and Animals Suffer Alike
From the Heat-No Let-up in Sight.
Yesterday was the hottest August day,
with one exception, that Savannah has
experienced since the weather bureau
was established. The maximum temper
AZURE was 90. Aug 20, ISIS, mercury
went TO 1907. If the humidity yesterday
had been up to the average, the temper
allure would have been equivalent 10 1867
The humidity was per cent. greater
than that of the day before, but was con-
sideFably below the average.
When the first observation was taken
at the weather bureau at o'clock the
temperat ure was So, l. below the tenn
perature at the first observation the day
before. 1t did not take long though for
the mercury TO begin climbing. At 9
O'Clock it was up TO 81. At 10 it had
gone to S9'. An hour later it was go. At
noon it had jumped up A., and was at the
go mark. 1t varied slightly from that
until 80 o'clock, when it went to 80.
AT o'clock it was So.
THE HIGH WATER MARK.
The high-water mark was reached at
S:45 o'clock at 99o. After that it began
70 stbside unit. the squat came up,
little before 3 o clock, and sent it flying
downward. In two hours there was
drop Of 81 From 90 at o'clock it fell
to 72o at 6 o'clock.
During the squall which was of longer
duration than that of the day before, the
wind reached a velocity of IS miles an
hour The blow was more severely felt
in the lower part of the city and on the
river than it was in the southern
end of the town. Signs were torn loose
and whirled into the streets. In the
squares a number of trees were blown
down and the streets and sidewalks in
some localities were strewn with broken
branches number Of chimneys were
blown down. A large plate glass
window in the Globe shoe store on
Broughton street was shattered by the
breaking lose of a show case, which was
thrown against the window. Awnings in
front of many stores were twisted and
torn. While there was COnsidera Die
damage in this way the amount was not
large and in no instance was the loss
considerable. The squat brought relief
from the burning heat and last night was
comparatively cool.

1t has been understood for some DAYS
that Stilwel, MilIen & Co. were fnan-

MORNING News called on Mr. Stillweu
but was told that the firm had no state

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-08-12

The following are the maximum TEN
neratnres for August since 1871.

As usual, Millen was the hottest place
in Georgia The temperature there was
1902. Albany, Alapaha, Gainesville. East
man and Quitman reported go. The av-
erage for the district was 80, the highest
of any district in the south.
THE PAYMENTS LIKE GRIDlRoNs.
During the hottest part of the day, and
in fact during the entire day, the heat
was so great that people avoided being
out OF doors all that it was possible The
streets were like ovens, and the pave
ments reflected the rays of the sun so it
was almost unbearable TO walk
auy distance Animals suffered equally
as mucn as did the people.
A fine mare belonging to the Smith x
kelley Company, was Frustrated while at
work at the high wharf Of the Central
railroad. The animal was hosting
cement from the schooner Ida Lawrence.
She suddenly fell To the ground and was
attacked with several spasm in quick sue
sion. She is expected TO die from the eff
fects of the sunstrOke. Alex Houston.
the driver of the horse was also overcome
by the heat, aud was taken to his home
In an exhausted condition.
SLOW WORK ON THE wHARvFs.
On the wharves the heat was, if any,
thing, more intense than it was up in the
city, except that the men were shaded
from the glare of the sun and were able
TO work with less danger of being over
come. There was not as much work on
the wharves as there was the day before.
but what there was had to be
done slowly, as the men were unable
TO work rapidly or without frequently
resting, the heat was so intense.
The heat OF the last two days has been
severely felt by butchers in the market.
They claim that there is not enough ven
tllaton to make it comfortable, and are
anxious to have fans erected over the
stalls to create breeze. Some of the
butchers are contemplating getting up
pe%luon 10 present TO the city council to
have electric fans placed through the
market They have a number of reasons
TO offer why this should be done. They
expect to get nun Der of physicians to
sign the petition, as well as their entire
list OF customers who can appreciate
their position in the market as it is dur
ing the heated term.
NO LET UP IN SIGHT.
The indications last night did not roint
TO any let up to-day. The predictions are
for continued hot weather, with south
west winds. The winds yesterday and
the night before were from the west
which accounts for the lack Of
humidity in the atmosphere. At
Iy6ee' Montgomery, Isle of Hope
aud the other resorts on the salts il was
a night with little sleep. The westerly
winds gave the mosquitoes full play and
they made the most of it. The people who
stald in the city had a more comfortable
night of it than did the resorters.
On the truck farms and anywhere in
the open air where there was no protec-
tion from the sun, very little work
was done during the middle of the dav
and, in fact, during any part of the day
Nor the first time in long while the in
dications sent out by the weather bureau
DO not predict rain

Ahnuf Gnnh Roads

1t is the farmer who cannot afford that
the present road system continue. Peo-
pie in cities do not go into the country un-
til summer, when roads are dry and pass
able. nor do wheelmen do much travelling
in the wet months. But the farmer, living
five miles from town, is compelled to use
the roads constantly, rain or shine. His
produce has to be taken to the station and
his groceries brought from the village
store. Whether the mud is hub deep or
the roads dry, he has 20 use them. In the
wet months he can take no advantage of
the markets, because his produce cannot
be delivered. What he had on hand in the
fall he must hold till the ground freezes.
The mill, meeting house store and school
are four times as far from him in muddy
weather as they are in dry weather so far
as time is concerned. and an infinitely
greater distance when the question OF
comfort is considered.
