VICTORIA Woodruff WINS.
Trustees to Give Donors Names of the
LfbelfOus Books.
Ru CnhIe to the limited Prcea


LONDON, Jan. %, lS94-Some time ago
Mrs. John Biddulph Martin, formerly Vic
toria Woodruff. obtained an order from
the courts directing the trustees of the Brit
ish Museum to divulge the names of the don
ors to the museum of two books relating to
the Beecher-Tilton scandal. The petitioner
declared that the first of the books in ques-
ton imputed that Victoria Woodruff had
published hbellous and obscene statements,
while the second purported to contain state
ments made during the Beecher-Ti lton liti-
cation, which were supposed to reflect upon
the petitioner. The application was granted,
but the trustees appealed. The appeal was
heard in the High Court of Justice today.
The trustees pleaded that the books had been
withdrawn from the Museum collection
when their attention had been called to the
matter.
The appeal was dismissed.

WORK ON THE CANALS.
Slow Progress Being Made on the
New Casey Canal.

Slow Progress Being Made on the
New Casey Canal.
Work on the new Casey canal has been
progressing rather slowly during the last
few months, but the prospects are that
it may move on somewhat more rapidly
from now on.
Maj. Blandford says many causes have
operated to delay progress on the work
In the first place changing hands have
been short, and the able-bodied men that
could be worked in the bitches and drains
have not been so numerous as they were
a few months ago. The en-
gineer of the dredge has been
sick too, and this has delayed
that part of the work to some extent. He
is now at his post again, however, and
the work is going on as usual. Other
causes have operated to hinder progress,
and Mai Blandford thinks now that it
will be fully year before the work will
be completed. The commissioners seem
determined, however, to go ahead with
the drainage work and push it
as far as possible before the wet
season sets in, when stagnant ponds and
pools gather in almost every depression.
AT their meeting yesterday majority of
them opposed suggestion to have part
of the gang taken off the canals to work
the roads, as they considered the drainage
work at the present time by far the most
urgent

public property for some time, but inter-
est in which is revived by the contem-
plated interment here in Macon
A Telegraph reporter yesterday heard
the story told by one who has seen the
late DOCTORS body as it lay beneath the
glass lid of the coffin, in which he was
laid after the process of embalming, in
May. 1892. The coffin is one of the most
handsome procurable, and through the
glass top full view Of the dead man
could be had. The face looked unnatural,
owing to the deeply sunken cheeks, but
the hair and beard are as in life. Beside
the body lies the gold-headed walking
cane he carried in life, and in the shirt
front are the diamond studs he always
wore.
The lot in which the interment will take
place was purchased on Friday last, and
it is thought that the body will be quietly
laid there one day this week. Sexton
Heating was asked for further particulars
yesterday, but he was as dumb as an
oyster, and had evidently received in
structions not to talk.

J.L. GILMORE MISSING.
His Friends Searching For Him Here
and Elsewhere.

Rev. ]. L. Gilmore, who has had quite
a diversified career as an evangelist,
farmers alliance advocate, Third party
herald, school teacher and editor, is
causing his family much anxiety by his
sudden unexplained disappearance.
Gilmore came to Savannah as a sailor,
became converted, Joined the Methodist
church and entered the ministry He was
made chaplain of the Seamen's Bethel
IN Savannah. He appeared to do good
work at first, but fell into evil ways, and
after having held his charge about a
year was dismissed for gross misbehav-
Tor He was next heard of as a lecturer
OF the farmers alliance. He rose rapidly
In his new profession, and at the St.
Louis convention, in 1891, had
the casting of seventy-two
votes as the representative of the colored
alliance of Texas.
When the alliance business began to play
out Gilmore went to school teaching He
has bright mind and did very well at
school teaching. He was also received
back into the church and made some
reputation as an evangelist. After con-
Quoting very successful revival in one
OF the nelghbOring counties a few months
ago, Gilmore relieved himself by coming
down to Savannah and painting the town
in the most approved style He hired
couple of street musicians, one with
jewsharp and the other with a banjo and
took in the town, giving concerts on the
street corners.
He has been teaching school at Claxton
IN Iattnall county for the last several
months and gave satisfaction to his
patrons. He also acted as one of the edi-
tors OF the Claxton Press, democratic
paper edited by populists.
Gilmore left ClaXton last Friday, it is
thought, for Savannah. Nothing definite
has been heard from him since. A search
was made for him by friend yesterday,
but he failed to find him at any of his ola
haunts. He was informed, however, that
he had been seen at Thunderbolt one day
this week
School recommences at Claxton next
week, and the trustees are anxious to
hear from Gilmore. The board meets to-
morrow, and if no news is received from
him by that time somebody else will be
elected to fill the place.
The police have been requested to look
out for him.

"Maybury did not remain long in Wash

ing Senator Scarlet, who was expected
early in December. He went next to
Richmond and stayed few days, exam
lining the city, where he had never before
alighted from the train. The relics of
war times entertained him. He liked the
situation and general layout of the
streets, feeling that it must be pleasant
home for those who had friends and
kindsmen there. A good deal of his time
was consumed in going from his chamber
in the Exchange and Ballard to the office
and dining room, across the bridge which
spans the public street and connects those
formerly divided hostelries. On depart
ing from the Virginia capital he ran over
to Old Point Comfort and Norfolk for
day or two, and then proceeded to Charles

number of negroes IN the street struck
him oddly. Truly, the United States
was a great country, when it could pre-
sent such varying selection of people
and climates, all under one flag.
AT Savannah he was no less pleased.
The parkways of the old city struck him
as prettier than anything else he could re-
call this side the sea. The big De Soto
hotel had not then been built, but he
stopped at the Pulaski house, where he
was treated we'll. He bore a letter of in

prominent newspaper, and found him a
thoroughly enjoyable gentleman. The
chief engineer of the county works took
him to see his canals, that were trans
forming the 'savannahs' into fertile
fields, and the shell roads built through
hitherto inaccessible marshes. Before
he left the city Maybury was a convert to
the plan of using convict labor on such
works, instead of fastening the law

compete with those of honest men outside.

s. oENrRAL's REORGANIZATION.
A Report at Macon That New Plan
Will be offered.


Will be offered.
From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
The startling news comes from an
authentic source that in less time than
the public thinks the Central railroad
will be out of the hands of the receiver.
and that the railroad prospect in the
south is brighter generally than is sup
posed
Up to the present the fact that a re-
organization plan has been agreed
upon and that arrangements for taking
the property out of the hands of the
courts has been kept a dark and close
secret.
But it has leaked out at last, and while
the details are necessarily very meagre
it is nevertheless a positive fact that
such an agreement has been reached,
and, furthermore, a prominent railroad
man in Macon said Tuesday that he had
seen a copy of the agreement and that it
was a document very favorable to the
security holders, and very much better
than anything that had been offered at
any previous time.
Yes, ii is a reorganization plan" he
said, land good one, but ! cannot tell
YOU more except that you may say that
the plan will be acceptable to all parties
and that the Central railroad will be out
of the hands of the courts before many
more months are over our heads"
No amount of persuasion could make
this well-posted gentleman open his lips
further on the subject, but the mere fact
that he says it may be considered suf-
ficient TO warrant the public and the
readers of the Telegraph in believing that
the latest plan will go through and that
the Central will be out of the receivers
hands very shortly.
How will this affect the South west
ern2' was asked of the man on the inside,
who had seen the agreement.
II suspect that the Southwestern will
still continue part OF the Central" he
said, Though they will be in a position to
dictate their own terms. ! think, how
ever, that the Southwestern will allow
itself to be handled by the Central, for
the latter will be in good condition, and
will be a money-making property"

The suit of the First National Bank of

gage on the product of his saw-mill as
security. Collions discounted the note
with the plaintiff, and afterwards failed,
and the bank looks to McCauley, Still
well x Co for payment.
The DEFENDANTS claim that the bank
knew Collins was insolvent and that the
note was secured by q mortgage on the
product of the mill, or that they ought
to have Investigated the matter and
learned the true state of affairs The
suit was tried before and the bank got a
verdict for $50 A new trial was granted.

arrived below yesterday, after long voy-
age, having left Baltimore twenty eight
days ago with cargoof coal. There was
considerable apprehension felt regarding
the safety of the vessel, and the mer-
chant TO whom the coal was consigned,
had ordered another cargo, fearing that
the Ames' load had gone to the bottom of
the sea. Capt. Jameson, of the schooner,
came up to the city yesterday afternoon
and left the vessel at the quarantine sta
ton to await high tide. The captain re-
ports that after leaving Baltimore on
Dec. 10, he anchored in Hampton Roads
for thirteen days and it was thirteen days
after that that he found fair wind that
blew him safely to the port of Savannah.
After sailing from Hampton Roads on
Dec. 90, the vessel got as far south as
Cape Lookout, when southwest wind
struck her. and he bore off shore to get
out Of it. Fhe result was he got Into

FORCING SALES BY FRIGHT.
A Peddler Resorts to Bold Device to
Sell His Wares.

Sell His Wares.
A Hebrew peddler has frightened at
least two ladies living near the park into
buying combs from him within the last
day or two, and possibly is working his
peculiar business methods all over the
city.
In the instances in question he gained
entrance into the Railways before making
his business known, and then informed
the ladies that they must buy combs from
him. He concealed the nature of
his business on entering by keeping his
wares in his pockets. In one of the in
stances he pressed his face alariningly
close to that of the lady, and when she
started to go upstairs without purchasing
ne followed. Becoming alarmed, she
bought comb to get rid of him.
Some day the peddler will enter house
when one of its male occupants happens
10 be at home, and will be shown the
o1oor In manner that he will not likely
forget
