FOR THE FREIGHT BUREAU.
Subscribers to it Were Not Mentioned
in the Lists so Far Printed.


In making I'd the LIST Of those who sub
scribed to the proposed freight bureau for
Savannah as published yesterday one or
two names of those who had subscribed
literally were omitted inadvertently, on
account Of the fact that some OF the lists
were incomplete or not at hand.
Messrs. Frank & Co. head the wholesale
dry goods list, and Mr.. 1. NJ. Frank was
himself one Of the foremost movers in
the work OF obtaining subscriptions from
others. The firms subscription is quite a
large one.
When the list was published the names
OF all the subscribers from the fertilizer
trade were not at hand. The complete
list of the fertilizer firms subscribing is
as follows: Conner, Hull & Co., Savannah
Guano, Co., Commercial Guano Co., Bow
ker Fertilizer Co.. Chas Ellis, T. L. Wood
& Bro. and J. NJ. Lang & Co. The BowSer
Fertilizer Co., has an office in Savannah
IN charge of Mr.. John D. Weld, but is also
a large concern in New York and Boston,
and is the only northern firm dealing in
fertilizers that subscribed to the bureau.
Messrs. Cooney, Eckstein & Co. and
Stillwell, Mlllen & Co. have been added
to the list of subscribers among the lum-
bermen. The real estate interest is very
largely interested in the business sub
scriptions, or the list would otherwise
have been larger than ii was.

st. Crispin.

A pleasant story is told of the Emperor
Charles the Fifth, says a writer in Lippin-
colts. One night he strolled into a cob
bler's shop TO get his Root mended. 1t
happened to be the festival of St. Crispin.
The cobbler was making mer-
ry with his friends and de-
clared that no work could be done
on that day for any man, even though
he were Charles himself, but the stranger
was cordially invited to join in the mer-
rying. He did as he was hidden Here's
to the health of Charles the Fifth" said
the cobbler. do you love him?" asked
the emperor. Love him?" said the cob
bier. Il do. l love his long-nose-ship
well enough, but should love him more
IL no taxed US less" They finished st.
Crispin's day very pleasantly.
Upon the morrow the emperor sent for
the cobber to the palace and greatly sur
prised him by thanking him for his hospi-
tality Of the previous evening, asking him
what reward he would like best. The
amazed cobbler asked for a night to think
Of IL. The next day he appeared before the
emperor and requested that the cobblers
Of Flanders might bear for their coat of
arms in a boat with a crown upon II.

A NAVAL PUZZLE.
Secretary Herbert Hard Pressed to
Please the Adnirals.

Washington, Oct. 27-Secretary Her
bert spent an hour with the President
this morning endeavoring to settle prob
lem which has worried the naval author
tiles for several months, and which must
be disposed of promptly. Four important
commands are to be filled, the superin.
tendents of the naval academy and naval
observatory, the cOmmander-in-chief OF
the South Atlantic squadron and the COM
mandant of the New York navy yard, the
latter becoming vacant Nov 10 by the re-
tirement of Admiral Gherardi, Ordi-
narily these details would not cause so
much concern, but at present they in
volve most of the higher officers of the
navy, and numerous changes are likely
to result. Admiral Walker, it is I'M
derstood, is not anxious to accent
either of the four duties, yet his desires
seriously complicate the problem. If he
could be assigned to the naval academy
the matter would be simplihed, but he
wishes to succeed Admiral Greer as chair
man of the lighthouse board next Feb
uary. Commodore Selfridge has been
slated, against his will, for the command
of the South Atlantic, which would leave
the presidency of the inspection board
temporarily for Admiral Walker. Com
modore Sicord, now commanding the
Portsmouth navy yard, expects to get the
New York navy yard or the naval acad-
emy Capt. j. w. Phillips, who com
manded the cruiser New York in Brazil
wants the naval observatory, and Comma.
dore Norton, Capt. Bunce, Capt NcNoir
and q number of prominent officers are
candidates for the places.
Secretary Herbert said this morning that
he had not yet decided upon any of the
details.

HIS CHECKS TURNED DOWN.
w. @. Durand of ocala Arrested at At
lanta on a Serious Charge.

Atlanta, Ga, oct. 27.-W. c. Durand, a
rather nice looking young man who says
that he is president Of the New England
Phosphate Company of Ocala, Fla, was
placed in Fulton county jail yesterday. F.
II. kirkpatrick caused his arrest on a
charge Of passing worthless checks. The
checks were drawn on the First National
Bank Of Ocala and when they were pre-
scented for payment the bank refused to
honor them on the ground that the drawer
had no deposit there.
At first Durand refused to say anything
about the affair for which he was arrested
but his wrath over confinement apparent
~ waXed warm and he gave a full account
of the affair
Il am from Ocala. Fla" he said land
for the last month or two have been trav-
cling up north. l have been to nearly
all the large cities and have had no trouble
until I reached this place.
Il can't understand why the checks I
gave in were returned. 1 should have
had a deposit at the bank. l am inter
ested in phosphate company, Of which
I am the principal owner and manager.
My father-in-law has a half interest in
the company also.
when I left home told a clerk in the
Office to transfer the amount of the com
pany's deposit in the bank to my personal
account SO that I could draw on it when
I wished to. I supposed that he had done
this as I have drawn checks on the bank
during my absence. I drew one while in
Chattanooga for $50.
Saturday night 1 got those checks
cashed on Whitehall street for $50, and
was surprised when I went back there
Wednesday morning to get another one
cashed to find that they had been sent
back. For some days I have been ex-
pecting a remittance from my father-in-
law"

A BIT oF HISTORY.

The House in Which Washington De-
livered His Farewell Address to His
Army.
While DR. Charles ]. Burroughs of Jack
sonville was at the north last month he
visited some places which are of interest
to all on account Of historical events that
happened during the revolutionary war.
At Rocky Ford, about four miles from
Princeton, N. J., he went to the old house
where Gen. Washington delivered his
farewell address to his army on Nov 2,
1873. 1t is a wooden house, built on
stone foundation, and its construction is
such that no one will dispute that the
style OF architecture may have existed 100
years, or even 200 year, ago. The win
dows are quite numerous, and resemble
portfolios In ship, while the stout double
doors encourage the idea of their having
been built thus for defense. The room
which was used by Gen. Washington as
a bedroom is about thirteen feet wide ana
fifteen feet long. The house, at this time,
is occupied by a Mr.. Hern and his family,
who are very courteous to visitors. 1t
is owned by the estate of the late Martin
A. Howell of New Brunswick.
When Gen. Washington resided at this
house il belonged to Judge John Berrien,
the father of Maj. John Berrlen, who
held the commission of major at the early
age Of Is and served under Gen. Washing
ton during his campaign in Now Jersey.
The Hon. John MACPHERSON Berrien of
Georgia, son OF Maj. Berrien, and grand
father of the Drs. Burroughs, and father
of Maj. L. c. Berrien and Of Mrs. George
w, Anderson, was born in this house.
Before leaving Princeton DR.. Burroughs
visited the cemetery at that place and
made a copy Of the following lines which
were inscribed upon the tomb of his an
cestor
Sacred to the Memory
of
The Honorable John Berren, Efq.,
One Of the Jufticea of the Supreme
Court of Judicature
of
The Province Of New Jersey,
Who died much lamented on the 22d
Day of April, A. D., 1772,
In the 6ist Year Of Age.
As viii be seen here, the "f' is used for
the letter So
Quite near to this grave is another tomb
marked thus:
Aaron Burr,
Born February 9Th, 1856,
Died September l4th, 1886
a Colonel in the Army Of the Revolu-
ton. Vice President Of the United
states from 1915"
The stone upon which the above is
written has been very much defaced by
persons breaking Oft pieces, no doubt, to
bo treasured as relies OF this remarkable
man.

GUARDS POSTPONE THEIR FAIR.
It Will Be Given in February Instead
of December.

1t has been decided to postpone the
Guards fair until February. 1t was to
have been held in December, but it has
been decided that it would be better 10
postpone it until after Christmas.
The chief reason for the postponement
is because it was feared that the fair
would interfere with the Christmas shop
ping and thus injure the retail merchants.
Another reason is that December is a very
busy month, and many members of the
battalion would not be able to give the
time to the fair which they would desire
to do. The committees which have been
appointed will continue their work in
their various departments. The postpone
ment is an advantage in that 1t will give
the committee more time in which to COM
plete their work.
