IN THE UNITED STATES COURT.
The Haseu Intervention Argued Be
fore Judge Speer.

I The Intervention of B. D. Hasell & Co,
1 of New York, against the Central rail
road was argued before Judge Speer in
the United States court yesterday by
Mr. Walter C. Charlton for the plaintiff
and Messrs. I.awton * Cunningham for
the receivers Of the road. Judge Speer
withheld his decision. which will prob
ably be rendered this morning.
The iuteryenor claims that from the
Central railroad is due him - 30l for sup
plies furnished. Against this the Cen
tral railroad claims a set Of of 8, 240 on
contract which Haseu X Co, as brokers
for the Vulcan Iron Works, of Richmond,
made with the road. In the first con-
tract, in which the claim is made, the
dealing was directly with the inter
veuOrs. but in the second Hasell Il Co.
claim to have acted as brokers for
another company. which afterwards
failed and could not fulfill the contract
made with the Central. II was also held
that the Central was negligent with re-
gard TO the latter contract in that they
were TO apply for che supplies within SIX
months and failed to do so until after the
Vulcan Iron Works had failed. The suit
is based on whether or not, in the con-
tract in which the set-off is claimed,
Haseu & Co. acted as brokers or for
themselves Both Mr. Rabbit, who was
purchasing agent for the road at the
time, and Mr.. Hasell testified that Haseu
& Co. acted as brokers only.
J. c. Hendricks who was badly injured
in a smash up on the East Tennessee, Nir-
giuia and Georgia railroad in 1888, was
given verdict for 81 800 against that
road. He was a conductor on the road
and was sleeping in a cab on a side track.
The cab was quietly pushed down on the
main line by another train which moved
onto the siding, and was smashed up by
through train on the main line and Ken
bricks was badly injured.
Leander J. Thompson, of Clyde Bryan
county, postmaster at that place, pleaded
guilty to the charge against him of illegal
sales Of postage stamps. His Offense ap-
peared to have been a technical one
more than anything else and the amount
involved was a very small one. Hewas
represented by MIR. William Clifton.
Judge Speer in consideration of the cir
cumstances Of the case fined him only $50
and suspended the sentence awaiting the
action Of President Cleveland in the mat
ter OF pardoning him, as application for
pardon viii be made TO the President at
once.

TO PUT GOOD MEN IN OFFICE
The Democratic Club Of Chatham
County Organized.

It's Purpose to Secure the Election of
Good Men to the Legislature, to Sup
port a Municipal Ticket That Will
Promote the Prosperity of the City,
and to Conserve the Best interests
of the People.
preliminary meeting was held at
Armory hall last night, to arrange for the
organization of a Democratic club to take
part in the coming campaigns in the city
and county.
The club is to be called the Democratic
Club of Chatham county. 1t is intended
20 represent the business interests Of the
city, and its special purposes are to secure
proper representation for Chatham
county and this senatorial district in the
next legislature, and good municipal gov
eminent for the city.
The meeting was the result of quiet
canvass of several leading business men
among their friends. The attendance was
not large, but was thoroughly representa-
tive of the business interests Of the city.
TIL CLUBS PURPOSE.
The following resolution states the OBJ
jects of the club.
The object Of this club shall be to secure
county in the general assembly, and to lend
its support to secure the nomination and
election of such municipal ticket as will en-
force the laws, promote the growth and ad-
vance the prosperity OF the city, and conserve
the best interests OF the people Of the city of
Savannah and the county of Chatham.
The club makes its beginning with
mem bership of over 100, many of the
members being leading business men.
1t was decided to hold meeting at the
same place Tuesday night to elect officers
and effect permanent organization.
TO PREPARE A PLATFORM.
A committee was appointed to submit a
platform at the next meeting. The plat
form as adopted will be ordered published
for the information of all who wish to
know its position.
The names of the officers who are
elected, however, will be sufficient evil
dence of where the club stands.
The meeting last night, being merely
preliminary, was private, and the mem
bers were not DESTROYS of making the
proceedings public. This, however, gives
fair outline of its purposes. The club
will take an active interest in securing
the registration of the respectable white
vote, and in arousing the interest of the
public generally, and the business element
especially, in the issues involved in the
approaching elections.
THE CLUBS POLICY.
A gentleman who was present at the
meeting informed ga MORNING News re-
porter that the club expected to draw it's
chief strength from the Third and Fourth
districts No member of any other politi-
cal club will be admitted to membership
He intimated that the cub would
be in sympathy with the Tam
many Club in its opposition to
the Citizens Club and its policy as out
lined by Mr.. Warning Russell. 1t may be
taken for granted that such is the case.
The tone of the resolution indicates
that it is not in sympathy with the pres
emit representatives of the county in the
Legislature.

PASSENGERS Saved, but the Ship a

A cablegram from Havana to Strauss
& Co. states that the Spanish steamship
Berenguer ell Grande, Capt Edoyaga, IS
aground near Cape Caibarieu, some miles
east Of Havana, on the Cuban coast.
The steamship was quite q large and
sound vessel, her hull being built of steel.
She was liz net tons register, and was
owned by Messrs. z. Prats 4 Co., of
Barcelona.
She came 10 this port, being sent to

he was going for a vacation, said that all
the passengers and crew had been taken
of in safety.
The Berenguer ell Grande left Savannah
April Z, for Barcelona, with a cargo Of
5000 bales of cotton for that port and Ge-

there few days ago, where an additional
cargo of 10000 sacks of sugar and other
products was taken on. Between $50
and 400 passengers also embarked here,
they being Spanish soldiers bound for
Spain. She was to stop at several Cuban
ports and then go on to Cape Verde, on
the Canary Isles, where an additional
cargo and passengers were awaiting her
arrival
The accident occurred when she was a
few hours out from Havana. Consider
ing the fact that the accident was of such
a serious nature that the steamship will
be a total loss, the saving Of so many pas
sengers was something wonderful. The
friends of Mr. Fabarius will be glad to
learn that he escaped without any injury.

MUST MOVE THEIR OFFICES.
Justice McDermott Wants His Dis
trict to Himself

Solicitor General Fraser, through his
assistant, Mr.. F. P. Salas, has informed
Justices of the Peace Mcleod, King and
John f. Andrews that he desires to have
a conference with them with regard to
the location of their Offices, both of which,
Justice NJ. Frank McDermott claims, are
in his district.
The offices of these two justices were
brought INTO the First district, the one in
which Justice McDermott was elected by
the extension of the city limits to Twelfth
street. According to the Georgia laws
for 1881 the First to the Fourth
districts inclusive, were made up of terri
tory within the city limits, and the
other four districts were without the city
limits. The extension of the city limits,
therefore, by a recent act of the legisla-
ture brought portions of the outside dis
trict within the city limits, and added
such portions to the districts in the city.
The offices of these two justices happened
to be within portion that was brought
within the First district.
The complaint made by Justice McDer-
mott is that these justices are doing civil
business in his district, which is not in
accordance with the law. The magis-
trates can issue criminal warrants cover
ing any portion of the county, but judg-
mems rendered in civil suits in their
courts are by law void. as long as these
courts are within different districts than
those to which they belong.
The solicitor general has looked into
the matter and decided that the complaint
Is just one, and he will notify the JUS
tees who are in the wrong district as to
what is the law on the subject.

Noteworthy Experience.
The passengers who went up from Sa-
vannah on the Kansas City on her last
trip to New York witnessed a beautiful
and somewhat unusual sight on the sea.
A wonderful mirage, says the Herald
was witnessed by the passengers on the
steamer Kansas City during her recent
voyage. The vessel arrived in New YOr k
Tuesday night with a load of passengers,
who discussed with enthusiasm what
they had seen on the passage.
Lighthouses and the beach, which were
miles away, were pictured in the air for
hours on Monday night At times they
hung over the bow of the vessel, and
again sank down to the level of the sea
So clearly defined were the phantom de-
lusions that Capt. Fisher ordered chart
measurements TO be made, that the loca-
ton might be recorded.
Second Officer Phillips was the first to
see the striking phenomenon. He was
standing on the deck about 9 o'clock
Monday evening, when his attention was
attracted by what appeared to be a large
and luminous planet fixed high above the
vessel
More intent observation of, it showed
him that it was light, and below he dis
cerned tower. The air was hazy, and a
peculiar chilliness prevailed. At the
time the Kansas City was off Bodies
Island. The captain was called to the
deck, and concluded that the light was
that on the lighthouse of Cape Charles,
siXty-two miles away, reflected out to sea
by the strange force Of conditions known
as mirage.
For several hours Monday night the
vessel passed a continuous panorama of
scenery as beautiful as it was weird The
Hogg Island, Currituck and Assateque
lights were successfully photographed on
the mists and the landscape that it would
take a day to reach seemed just beyond
the tOpmasts. AT Winter Quarter Shoals
the mirage ceased, but again commenced
after reaching Fenwick Islands
On the log of the Kansas City the won
derful experience is faithfully recorded.

MEDIUM AND INDIAN DOCTOR.
The "Great Unknown Turns Out to
Be of Rather Shaky Antecedents.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Chicago, April 16.-The great I'M
known" in Coxey's army has turned out
to be A. P. B. Bozzaro, a fraudulent In
dian doctor and trance medium, who was
located last summer in tent on a vacant
lot at 81 South Peoria street. Bozzaro is
the rankest kind of a fraud, and Carl
Browne who is now in charge of the com
monweal army was his partner and as
sistant fakir in Chicago.
On the West Side these two fellows are
well-know characters. Last June Boz
FARO came to Chicago and erected a tent
at 81 South Peoria street. He conducted a
regular Indian medicine hoax, and nightly
his tent was filled with people who came
to listen to the variety entertainment, and
incidentally leave few dollars with the
great unknown"
About the middle of the summer Carl
Browne appeared on the scene He was
dressed in well-worn and ragged buck
skin, had flowing hair and not enough in
his pockets to purchase a bowl of soup.
BozZaro took him liz and used him as a
lecturer, and later the two started an
Office at 40 West Madison. Bozzaro's real
occupation was trance medium and
this scheme he utilized to sell his Indian
remedies

There is only one way to know who has
the sort Of clothing you want at the
lowest prices. Go to a store that gives
money back without any fuss, buy the
suit or anything else you want, take it TO
other stores and compare.
Now, suppose you like the goods at
store number two or number three best.
Buy them Come back to US, tell US
frankly that you like the other grade bet

TO DIVIDE THE FUND.
Iron Hall Members to Distribute What
Is Left.

A meeting of the Savannah members of
the Iron Hall was held last night to take
action in reference to the distribution of
the reserve fund among the members
here.
When the order went into a receivers
hands, the Savannah branch had some
thing over $500 in the treasury. This
was placed in the hands of the
trustees as local receivers pending the
action of the court. The question arose
whether the fund should be placed in the
receivers hands at Indianapolis, or
whether it should be distributed among
the members of the branch here. Acting
under advice of their attorney, J. r.
Saussy, ESQ, it was decided to divide
the fund at once
The members can receive about 20 per
cent. of the amount paid into the order.
This, in addition to the protection afforded
by the order, during the time it was in
existence aud solvent, is a fair return to
the members, and the order of the court
will be applied for at once to distribute
the fund, which will be done by a master.
