BAKING POWDER.
THE SENTIMENT OF BUSINESS MEN.

The preamble was ably defended by
MIR Chisholm, who said that it expressed
the sentiment of the business men to-
ward the action of congress, including
both houses, and that it could not be taken
in an offensive sense, as it was evidently
not so intended.
Mr.. Wilson moved that a committee Of
five, TO consist. of Messrs. Myers, Blum,
Krenson, Chisholm and Joseph Hull, be
appointed to retire for the purpose of con-
sidering the preamble and making such
changes in the wording as they might
deem best. The motion was adopted and
the meeting took a recess while the gen.
tlemen named retired.
The committee was out only few min
utes, when it returned and MIR. Myers, the
chairman, reported that after considering
the preamble carefully 1t had decided
that the wording was proper and salts
factory, and reported in favor of the
adoption of the resolution. The motion
was then put and carried unanimously.
Before the adjournment of the meeting
Mr. Chisholm requested the adoption of
the corporate seal of the club, which had
been purchased by the secretary, which
was done.
A number of copies of the resolution
will probably be printed and sent to the
different commercial bodies throughout
the country, in order to encourage similar
action upon their part.

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

When the milford was in port last

the suit by Justice Naughtin and an Of
ficer placed aboard the vessel This was
on July 10. On the afternoon of the same
day upon which the attachment was
served the captain and mate forced the
officer who had been placed in charge
ashore, and the vessel set sail for Bruins
wick in defiance of the order of the JUS
tees court.
Contempt proceedings were begun in
the city court and Sheriff Blois was dis
patched to Brunswick with orders to ar
rest the captain and mate and to bring
the vessel back to Savannah. He re-
turned accompanied by the captain and
mate but the vessel is still at Brunswick
Judge MacDonell found the captain and
mate guilty of contempt and
sentenced them. They were
placed in the custody of Sheriff
Blois, however, and it is discretionary
with him whether they will be put in CON
tnement. 1t seems that the case is some
what mixed, and that while the captain
and mate offended the letter of the law,
they had no idea that they were commit
ting a serious offense. Olsen, the sailor
who instituted the proceedings, joined
the vessel before she sailed for
| Brunswick, and is still with
her. Paul e. Seabrooke, Esq, the at
torney for the vessel, will eDdeavor to
| show that the proceedings were insti-
gated by one Shelley, boarding house
runner, and that he alone is sustaining it,
Judge MacDonell ordered that the
schooner be returned TO the Jurisdiction
of the court and that a $4,000 bond be
given to await the result of the attach
ment proceedings. Capt. Henderson. will
endeayor to give the bond required to-day.

A FULFILLING CASE.
a Draft That Caused Lawyers and
Judge to Scratch Their Heads.

Judge to Scratch Their Heads.
Nearly the whole time of the superior
court was consumed yesterday in hearing
the case of A. B. Hull & Co. vs.. w. d.
Thomas & Co. The amount involved was
very small but the case was a very
knotty one and presented a rather tan
gled legal aspect.
About year ago Mr.. Thomas bought a
lot of poles, such as are used by the troll
ley roads, from negro named Goldwire
in the country above Savannah. He ac-
cepted draft upon him from Goldwire,
before the bill became due. Previous to
accepting the draft he was garnisheed by
J. H. Smith of Ellabel, who claimed that
another party, named Reese, was the
owner Of the poles, Reese being indebted
to him.
The draft passed from Goldwire to E.
K. Rain 81 Bro. of Guyton, who sent 1t to
placed to their credit In the meantime
Rain & Bro. failed, and the draft was
claimed as part of their assets. Hull a.
Co. contended that they held the draft
as collateral security, and brought action
to compel payment by Thomas Il Co. In
the meantime the latter had paid the bill
to another party.
Mr.. Thomas claimed that having paid
the bill once he should not be compelled
to pay it a second time. The question
was whether Hull & Co. were innocent
purchasers of the draft. The Jury de-
cided in favor of Hull q Co. for the prin-
cipal sum of So. 20, besides interest from
Aug. 20, 1893, and costs of court. Judge
Falligant confessed that some of the fea-
lures of the case were pulling to him.

THE RAINS KEEP UP.
Pretty Nearly Half an Inch of Rain
Fell Yesterday.


Fell Yesterday.
The unsatisfactory state of the weather.
which has prevailed for the last two
weeks, is productive of any amount Of
grumbling for its general unreasonable
ness. Notwithstanding the fact that the
thermometer has not ranged very high
there is general complaint of the heat and
oppressiveness of the weather. This is
due to the large amount of humidity in
the atmosphere.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was only $50, and for the day before only
So, yet it is safe to say that the heat was
more generally complained of than at any
time since the hot weather began. The
records of the weather bureau show that
during the last two days the percentage
of humidity in the atmosphere was SO, or
about double the normal 1t is this un-
usual humidity which is responsible for
the depressing effect of the weather.
The rainfall during this month is among
the heaviest on record. The rainfall to
date is 9. 80 inches, which is an excess Of
6.17 inches since the first of the month.
The average rainfall for July for twenty
three years is only 5.35 inches. At the
end of last month there was deficiency
for the year ia the rainfall of IL. The
deficiency is now less than an inch, and if
the rains continue, as they bid fair to do,
the departure from the average will be on
the other side of the balance sheet by the
end of the month.
The prediction for to-day is for con-
tinued showers and thunderstorms, and
no immediate prospect of change in the
weather is visible.

COL. oLMsTEAD's FAMOUS REPLY.

the federal commander, orders were is

The second day at noon all but two of

being exploded, and all avenues Of escape
for the garrison being cut of, surrender
WAS determined upon and the fort capitu-

After the federal forces took posses

TAKEN TO NORTHERN PRISONS.
The captured garrison was removed by
steamer to Port Royal, and from thence
by the steamer Oriental to Governor
island, New York. The officers were
confined at Fort Columbus and the men in
Castle William. In the course of two
months the officers were sent to Johnson's
island, Ohio, and the men to Fort Della
ware. In September general exchange
of prisoners was effected and the Fort
Pulaski garrison returned to Savannah.
Since the war the fort has been garri-
soned usually by sergeant, and has been
occupied chiefly as a storehouse for ma
terial used in the river and harbor i'm
provement. TIVE years ago, by permits
sion of the war department, a portion of it
was fitted up as detention ground for un-
infected passengers entering Savannah on
ships that might be infected with cholera.
Fortunately there has never been any
necessity for its use in that way.
