ANOTHER PLAYER SIGNED.
SaVannah'S Base Ball Club Organized
and $1,000 Subscribed.

Manager McCloskey Adds Frank But
1er to His List-The League Meeting
in Atlanta To-morrow-McClo
70 Represent Savannah-Another
Meeting to be Held Saturday Night.
A meeting was held last night to organ
Ize the Savannah Base Ball Club, and af-
ter plans for organization were discussed
81 200 of stock was subscribed. This
gives the club good start, and before
the end of TIE week it is expected the
total issue of s., 900 will be taken.
Manager McCloskey will go the South
ern League meeting in Atlanta tomorrow
and will report to a meeting of the
local club on Friday night, when
a full attendance of those interested in
the welfare of the club is expected.
McCloskey and Frank Butler, we'll
known local ball player, were practicing
at the grounds yesterday, and last night
Butler was signed to play left field. He
has been playing good ball for several
wears; he made an excellent showing on
the Macon team in 1892, and
has batting average of 800
McCloskey thinks Butler has all
the qualifications for q good all round
PLAYER, and decided to give him trial.
II is understood that Manning paid as
high as 50, 100 month last season, and
with a salary limit in the Southern league
of 81. 200, it does not come as easy for Nc
Closkey to get men as Manning did. Sew
eral rafting good men are anxious to
sign with McCloskey, and by
March Is, the team will be complete.
1t is reported that the Charleston club
has offered the use of its grounds to the
New York team for their PRACTICE games.
Charleston. Savannah, Macon and At
lanta would make a convenient and pay
ing circuit, and the trip of the great New
York team is now practically assured.
The graduates of Yale College in Savan-
nah are talking about the curious squabble
over the worlds championship cup, which
was won at Chicago last season by team
consisting mostly of members of the law
school, but with pitcher of the univer-
sity nine. A prominent lawyer in the
city, who was closely identified with the
base ball interests at Yale, is of'thelopin-
ion that neither the university team nor
the law school won the cup.

Federal Prison.
Augusta, Ca, Feb. 13.-The clerk of
the city council to-day received acknowl-
edgement from Attorney General Olney
of the resolutions and endorsements
forwarded by Augusta in behalf of this
city as the point for the southern United
States prison. He answered that the
act in favor of such a prison was inopera-
tive, for the reason that no appropriation
had been made to carry 1t into effect.
Policeman James Kelly reported for
duty to-day at noon, but fell in convul-
sions on the floor of the station house be-
fore the detail went out. His condition
is serious and his mind is affected. He
recently had a case of grip.

en- route to Macon, was arrested, as Mrs.
Stillwell said she was the cn,y person in
the waiting room, but as Mrs Stillwel
left on the train, and there was no prose-

TWO STEAMSHIPS LAID OFF.
The Chattahoochee and the Tallahas-

The Chattahoochee and the Tallahas-
see Will Stop a While for Repairs.
The steamships Tallahassee and Chat
tahoochee, of the Ocean Steamship Line,
will be laid of temporarily at New York
for the purpose Of undergoing an over
hauling and repairs.
The ChattahoOchee is now in New
York, and the Tallahassee is on it's way
there. The service has simply been re-
duced temporarily from four to three
trips a week in each direction, as is Gus
tomary at this time of the year. Last
year the company began laying of the
ships about March, on account of the fact
that three ships a week we're fully COM
mensurate with the amount of traffic
moving at that time, and this was done,
also, in order to give an opportunity for
giving the ships thorough overhauling
and repairing, each in its turn.
The same course will be pursued this
year, the ships being laid of two at a
time until the whole feet has been gone
through with. Business is good enough
from September 20 March TO keep the en-
tire fleet in service, but during the other
six months OF the year II does not war
rant more than three trips week 70 New
York and return. Business is not now as
heavy as II has been for the past six
months, but II IS by no means discourag-
ing, and the three steamers which sail
IN each direction every week will have
about all the traffic they can handle for
some time 10 come.

THE RECORDERS BUSY DAY.
A Lively Lot of Plain and Mixed Cases
Disposed OF.

"A AANSly LOU Z 01l46Q Vases
Disposed Of
Recorder Wilson was unusually busy
yesterday morning disposing of cases that
were brought before him. There were
cases of plain DRINKS, dead drunks, and, as
one negro said "a drunk wild de horrors"
Interspersed through the drunks were a
number of disorderly cases and a cutting
scrape, all of which were speedily I'm
1shed, fines charged and routes described
and furnished to the unfortunates.
The recorder cleared his desk and took
up the docket cases, and those who were
charged with dispensing red liquor on
Sunday Jared badly if not worse than
they anticipated when they walked into
court.
The first offender was William NJ. Nc
Cormick. Not wishing to face the music
alone, he retained p. J. O'Connor, ESQ,
as his attorney. There was a hitch in
the testimony and at the request of ON
Ger, Kavanaugh. who had another wit
ness to produce the case was continued.
Daniel Deignan and Hugh Donahue
came next and as an important witness
was not present, the case could not be
disposed of as it would have been had the
chain of evidence been complete.
The case of Mr.. NJ. L. Harnett was con-
tinued and that Of James d. Deignan was
called. Deignan runs bar at St. Julian
and West Broad streets, and was charged
with keeping his place open on the Sab
bath and selling liquor on Feb. and H.
Deignan made a statement on his own
behalf and introduced several witnesses,
who corroborated his statement denying
the charge. The recorder dismissed
Deignan on the first counts, but fined him
5000 on the last two charges. The case
will be appealed.
Policeman Kavanaugh had seen several
well-known citizens going into the
Chatham Club on Sunday, and had the
place put on the information docket.
John Bresnan, who claims to be steward
of the club, which is said to be incor-
porated was in court accompanied by his
attorney, T. S. Morgan, Jr. Mr.. Morgan
argued that the members of the club could
come and go as they wished, and if they
wanted a morning cocktail they had q
| right to drink it in their club rooms The
case will be tested, and was continued.

TO CONTEST THE WILL.

The Superior Court to Take a Hand
In the Hover Estate.
The estate of Lemuel L. Hover, who
died some months ago under rather sus-
picious circumstances, has not yet been
definitely settled.
The will, which leaves two-thirds of
his properly to Mr.. John Sullivan Schley,
was probated before the ordinary in sol
emn form some time ago, and at the time
Garrard, Meldrim & Newman, represent
ing Mrs. Hover, filed a caveat protesting
against the solemn probating of the will.
The question is to be heard on the
caveat Friday in the superior court. Mrs
Hover, who has one child, objects to the
division of the estate as made under the
will, and has had the matter brought
before the superior court. She is repre-
sented by Garrard, Meldrim q Newman,
and Mr.. Schley is represented by Mr.
Edward S. Elliott.

A Suggestion to the Members Who

A Suggestion to the Members Who
Are Soon to Meet at Brunswick.
Gentlemen: You will please state your
views in regard to the united action of the
cotton belt to reduce the cotton surplus
that has caused US to sell our crops in a
glutted market for years2 The produc-
ton and consumption have been so close
that we have only produced 314,000 bales
more than has been spun since 1867, one
bale in five hundred and eighteen (518).
With an an average yield for the last ten
years, 100000 acres of cotton would
make all that would be required of US, with
the consumption the same as last year and
the supply of other countries the same
All SHOULD plant an equal per cent. of
their scrops Gin cotton-the remainder of
his crops in such things as his surround
ings dictate, With the surplus out of our
way we would find fair market for more
cotton than we have ever made. For a
fair price our cotton would stimulate all
trade, and the United States would con-
sumo 5000, 900 bales. For the benefit of
those that have not studied the
cotton situation closely l will state
that since the decline of war
prices of cotton Brazil, the West Indies,
Turkey, China and Japan have cut off
their exports three-fourths, and that 20
cents per pound is the lowest price that
stimulated production in these countries.
The south and Egypt are the only coun-
tries that have increased their crops.
With fair price for cotton Georgia
would produce as much as Egypt exports.
Mr.. Ellison, who is regarded as an au-
thority in England says that Europe is
practically as dependent on the south for
raw material as she was before the war. 2"
1t is plain that we can control the price
of cotton, and IL we do not put it to a fair
price we should not blame others for our

THE INVISIBLE COTTON.
The Amount at Stations and on Plant
atoms Not Marketed.

In the reports of correspondents from
the cotton sections in Georgia and Flor
ida, tributary to Savannah, addi-
tional information was received by the
MORNING News yesterday.
Although, according to the reports of
correspondents, this section has very
small quantity of cotton remaining at
stations and on plantations, the receipts at
Savannah, continue quite large, the stock
being principally from regular cotton
centers. A few days will show whether
the information received by the MORNING
News is strictly reliable or not II the
present heavy movement is materially
decreased il will verify the statements of
the correspondents.
The number of bales of cotton at sta
tions and the estimated amount on plan
tations in Georgia and Florida, as far as
heard from, and not including visible
stocks at Albany, Atlanta, Augusta,
Brunswick, Macon, and Savannah, Ca,
are as follows:
