SPIRITS ON THE MOVE.
A Big Sale Reported at Is Cents a
Gallon.

A Firm of Buyers Said 60 Be Cooper
ating With the Faotors-The Sale
Rumored to Have Been 5000
Barrels-Regarded as a Victory for
the Factors and Produeers-The
Buyers Generally Did Not Take 1t
at the Market Quotation.
The naval stores situation took a new
turn yesterday, and the market gave
evidence of the fact that the factors have
found solution of the questions that
| confronted them. The change in the sit
uation looks on its face like compromise,
but the factors have stood their ground
firmly, and it seems unquestionably the
case that they have carried their point.
The figures on the board of trade
blackboard yesterday showed sale of
LOCO barrels at Is cents. The factors
have stated that they were holding the
spirits for ,291S, but this was a nominal
figure; what they wanted being price
that would at least equal the cost of pro-
duction. On the other hand the buyers
have not bid higher than 26t( cents
1t is said that the factors had PROPOSE
tions made to them by a very large and
strong house in the naval stores business
To let them into the movement at price
below the asking price, promising to use
their efforts to maintain aud advance
prices thereafter.
BIG SALE OF SPIRITS.
1t is also said that very heavy trans
action in spirits has been made, the sale
of 900 barrels reported at the board of
trade being only a small fraction of the
actual amount sold Some saw the
cold &c ~ 10
When the factors look at the prices
which ruled at this time last year, and
see thai they have obtained more than 50
barrel more for the producer than
would have been the case under last
years prices, they consider that they
have won decided victory, and with the
sympathy of the purchasers enlisted on
their side, there will be no difficulty in
maintaining the market at the present
quotation, or advancing it should they
decide II is to their interest to do so.
WANT TO KNOW WHO IT IS.
The buyers and exporters here are very
curious TO know the name of the buyer of
this large amount of spirits and the guam
tity sold, and will watch the deliveries
made at the wharves within the next few
DAYS with decided interest.
The factors are more determined than
ever to maintain prices and stand to-
gether as unit on behalf of the pro-
Queer. They are very reticent with re-
gard to what steps have been taken, and
very little information could be obtained
yesterday about the situation. 1t is be-
lieved by some of the buyers that the
Antwerp Naval Stores Company figures
in the transaction, and that the steam
ship Iris will carry away a good part of
this large stock, but of that there is no
certainty, and it remains to be seen where
it will go.

KNEW WHERE TO SEND IT.
German Postoffioe Officials Know
Pretty Well Where Savannah

wy w OA@ w AACA0 1dE amman As
Savannah is not entirely unknown in
the world Pretty good evidence to this
effect was furnished yesterday in the
shape of letter which arrived from a
small town in the province of Hanover
Germany, which bore no other posto flee
address than the simple word "Savan-
nah"
If the letter had been properly ad-
dressed it would have borne in addition
the words Georgia, U. S. A" Without
these distinguishing indications, however.
IL arrived promptly on time at its in
tended destination. The letter was mailed
at Rltterhude, Germany, July 10, and
arrived yesterday, having been lust
twelve DAYS in transit. 1t evidently lost
no time in the mails, and nobody hesftated
for moment because they did not know
where Savannah was. There are several
smaller towns of the same name in this
country, but Uncle Sans postal clerks
forwarded it promptly to Savannah with
the same alacrity shown by their contem-
poraries on the other side.
Evidently Capt. Purse does not need to
worry any more because Savannah is not
on all the maps. The letter was addressed
to former resident of Ritterhude, and
bore 20 pfennig "Richpost" stamp.

TYSON BOUND OVER.
He VIII Answer to the o. 8. Court for
Fraudulent Use of the Mails.

ETduQu4euL use OF the mallSs
As the result of his preliminary exam
/ ination before United States Commits
sioner NJ. A. Connolly yesterday, d. A
/ Tyson of Rixville was turned over to the
] United States court as probably guilty,
ami his case win be taken up by the grand
! jury. His bond was not fixed, but it will
probably be made the same as before the
examination-$2, 800
/ Mai w. T. Gary, the district attorney
who came down from Augusta to take a
hand in the case, recognized Tyson as
former offender, and the most sensational
| part of it was that he found Tyson was the
! same man who waf before the United
! State court at Macon. on the same
charge. that of using the mails for fradu-
lent purposes, since he has been in Office,
and that he had been released on a 8, 900
bond, which had been forfeited on ac-
count Of the fact that T yson did not put
in an appearance on the occasion Of his
trial.
Mr.. Dempsey Griffin appeared for the
United States, and MIR. Paul r. Seabrook
| for the defendant About twenty wit
nesses were on hand. Among them were
MIR. /. Mohr of Mohr Bros, Mr. Fl. H.
Cohen, from whom the buggy was ordered
which brought about the case; Mr.. d. 3.
Morgan. Mr. w. A Bowen of Bradstreet's
agency, J. NJ. Neal of Kite, who got the
buggy; MIR. Emil Schwarz, Station Agent
Xix of Rixville, and w r. Hutchinson,
who is charged with completely in the
affair. The hearing began at i o'clock
and was concluded about 30
The evidence went to show that d. A
Tyson had been conducting a business in
the name Of w. i. Hutchinson. and at one
&c.,. l., 1. r
he had written letters ordering goods to
which he mad sighed w. r. Hutcheson's
name in typewriter letters; that all
goods and mail sent to Rixville con
signed TO w. f.. Hutchinson were by in
structions delivered to D. A. Tyson; that
he had ordered goods from a number of
merchants in this name which had not
been paid for; and that had they known
ID. A. Tyson had anything to do with the
business the goods would not have been
shipped.
The evidence went to show further that
the goods had been obtained by the use
of Hutcheson's name on letterheads on
which the goods were ordered, and which
were sent through the mails. It was
brought out also by the evidence that J.
M. Neal who had obtained the buggy
ordered from H. H Cohen, and who had
been arrested on a charge of cheating and
swlndl1ng, had paid for the buggy with a
check drawn by d. A. Tyson, whereupon
he had been released from custody.
w. NJ. Riner seemed to have been i'm
plicated in the business, and though he is
now in Rixville, it is understood a war
rant has been issued for him. and he will
be sought w. Il, Hutcheson, who was
involved in the case, stated that he had
allowed the use of his name in connection
with the business, and received $500 out
of the profits each year. He said he did
not know but that it was properly and
squarely conducted. He will be given a
preliminary hearing before the commits
sionor this afternoon at 4 o'clock

POINTED OUT THE RANGES.
Several of the Pilots Go Down the
River With Capt. Garter.

NAf0I w AbA capt GdTL5Is
Capt o. M Carter, who had extended
a general invitation to the pilots yester-
day to accompany him on a trip down the
river, took with him Capt. w. T. Daniels,
W. T. Daniels, Jr., Gus Everhardt and
capt. r. @. Strachan, and pointed out to
them the new ranges along which i'm
proVements in the channel are being
made. These are the ranges being used
by the dredges in their work on the chan
mel.
Some soundings We're taken and showed
as heretofore stated in the MORNING
NEWS, that the minimum mean low water
depth between the city and the sea is Is
feet. 1t is gratifying to learn that rapid
and telling progress is being made on the
work of channel improvements.
It may be interesting 10 those who have
not considered the subject to know that
the depths on all United States charts
are referred to the plane of mean low
water. This plane, which is a means of
all the low waters, is lower than the low
water of neap tides and higher than the
low water of spring tides, but as
the low water of no two tides is
the same, TO refer soundings to
such planes would be to introduce
great confusion, hence a mean of
all low waters which is unchanging is
used. Depths referred to such a plane
can be reduced to actual depths by add
ing OF SubtraCting, as the case may be the
amount the tide stands above the zero of
mean low water. 1t is well to bear in
mind that in order TO make any compari-
son between the two soundings all should
be reduced to the same plane. To refer
one To one plane and another to another
plane would only result in confusion.

THE CONTESTED Will.
The Fight over the Hover Estate will
Continue To-Day.

Inc right over the AoVor Estate Will
Continue To-Day.
The contested Hover will case was con.
tinued in the superior court yesterday
and the entire day was consumed in the
taking of testimony.
For the defendant there were intro
duced j. M. Love, Mrs. hover's father
Mrs. Laura e. Hover, G. N. Willett, DR.
b. $, Purse, DR.. b. f. Sheftall and DR.
w II. Jennings. Drs. Purse and Shelf.
all made the post morten examination
of Hover's body and testified as to an alb
scess on his train which, however, they
did not think would necessarily affect his
mental capacity.
For the executors of the will were intro
duced DR.. L. A Ealligant, John Bailey,
Frank Bailey, ID. w Mayer. a nephew of
l.. L. Hover and r. A. Mullryne, Esq.
The plaintiffs are endeayoring to show
that Hover was entirely sound in mind
when not under the influence of liquor,
and also that he was sober at the time the
will was signed. Witnesses were also
sworn to show that Mrs. Hover was in
the habit Of illtreating him, and a letter
said To have been written when Hover
and his wife agreed on n separation was
introduced to show that 1t had been
agreed that third part of the estate was
proper amount for her share.
The defense is showing, on the other
hand, that Hover frequently had illusions,
that he would see what he thought was a
man sitting on the table, and sometimes
get under bed to get out of the way of
some imaginary object. Evidence was
also introduced to show that Mrs. Hover
was an affectionate wife, and that Hover
was addicted TO an almost daily excessive
use of alcoholic liquors. The court took a
recess at g o'clock until 10 o'clock to-mor-
row morning, when the testimony will be
resumed. The case will probably be con-
cluded to-day.
