The suit for damages of William F.
PROVING THE BONDS.
Thousands of Dollars of A. & X. Sc
curitiss held in Savannah.


curities HELD in Savannah.
Mr.. ]. E. Haygood, who was appointed
by Judge Simonton special masterin mat
tiers of litigation concerning the Augusta
and Knoxville railroad, is in the city for
the purpose of receiving proof of the bonds
of that railroad. He was at the office of
Messrs Charlton Mackall a. Anderson
yesterday for that purpose and will be
there to-day. He came here from
Augusta, where on Thursday he proved in
that city 100000 of the bonds.
The issue of these bonds, which is the
first mortgage on the road, is Sj50,0O0, and
nearly $500, 600 of them are held in Savan-
nah. Mr.. Haygood received proof yester-
day Of nearly $500, 900 and will look after
the balance of them to-day. Messrs.
Charlton, Mackall x Anderson the attor-
neys here for the road, say that all the
indications are that the property will be
sold in the spring, and as the bonds have
not been proved in some years
it was found necessary to have them
proved before the road is sold
so that all the holders can get the proper
portion of the proceeds which belongs to
them.
The road is bonded under this mort
gage at $4,000 mile, and while the bonds
do not bring par now, it is believed they
will realize par value when the property
Is sold. The road is a part of the Port
Royal and Western Carolina system. and
is also bonded under the mortgage which
has been placed on that entire system.
This, however, will come in as a second
mortgage Three defaults have been
made on the semi-annual interest coupons
of these bonds and it is thought that the
property will go under the hammer before
many months have passed.

COTTON MOVING UP.
The Causes for the Advance During
the Last Ten DAYS.

The Causes for the Advance Ourlns
the Last Ten Days.
There has been a steady rise in the
price of cotton since the first Of the
month. The advance in middling is q
cents per pound.
The great depression in the market,
which has been experienced for the last
last three months, on account of the esti-
mates Of the seasons crop. and which APP
peared TO be verified by the enormous re-
ceipts in the interior and at the
ports, has at last been removed.
Those who expected that the crop
would be 100000 bales will be
disappointed, as the present light move
ment points to a deficiency Of about 6O0,-
900 bales in that estimate.
During the last ten days the port re-
ceipts have been a great deal less than
what was expected while the receipts at
the interior towns have also been COnsid-
erably lighter, and the invisible stocks
at towns and plantations show up in
much smaller proportion than they have
for years.
The American spinners have been hold
ing of from buying expecting to purchase
cotton at much lower price than in the
recent depressed market. They are now
giving decidedly increased manifestations
Ofinterest in the situation, and while not
yet coming out freely with their bids, are
calling for tenders in a manner that is
very significant. The market yesterday
in New York was more interesting than
than it has been for several days. Futures
were firm and advancing, the sales of
the day being 220,S0 bales. Liverpool
also had lively market and the demand
for cotton was good and prices firm.
The holders of cotton in the south are
not disposed to offer cotton freely, but are
awaiting a material advance, which, they
confidently expect will be reached very

They Put Everybody at the Court
House in Good Humor Y esterday.
1t was an eventful day yesterday at the
writing the date on an order that he was
about to sign noticed that it was Jan. II,
and remarked rather suddenly, by the
way, this is my birthday"
The clerk, Mr.. J. X. p. Carr, was re-
minded of the fact that it was also his an
niversary, and he and the Judge congratu-
lated one another heartily. Both We're in
a iovial and festive humor for
the rest of the day, A friend
of both these officials noised it
around that the judge had reached his
55th birthday and that the clerk had
travelled just one cycle farther in the
revolutions of time. The genial clerk,
however, repudiated this idea, and held
that the judge had six years the better Of
him in experience with this world. Just
before the adjournment of the city court
for dinner Judge k'alligaut sat in one of
the witness rooms of that court with the
door open, enjoying whiffs from his beau
tifully colored meerschaum, and
talking in conversational tone,
which was noticed br his col
league on the city court bench. Judge
MacDonell directed the deputy to call for
order. The deputy gave a couple of loud
raps with his staff, which brought the
conversation to sudden close and the
door was shut,
That's the other court you are calling
to order" suggested one of the attor-
neys.
The court smilingly said something, in
an undertone, about contempt and Jail,
which put everybody in a good humor and
the proceedings continued.

NOT IN THE CHANNEL.
Why the Steamship Slavonia Went

why the steamship SlaVOn1a Went
Aground Near the City.
There has been some talk about the
reasons why the German bark Slavonia
went aground in the river at the foot of
Abercorn street last Saturday while COM
ing up to the city. Inquiry was made at
the Office of the United States engineer,
Capt. o. M. Carter, yesterday, and the
following statement of the case was
given;
The steamship Slavonia, which
grounded at the foot of Abercorn street
last Saturday morning, while coming up
the river, drew at that time 81
feet 6 inches. On that day the tide
was unusually low, the rise being not
more than feet 4 inches; and at the
hour of the steamers striking, the tide
was on the ebb and had receded some
what. In that part of the channel there
is, and was on the day in question, enough
water to accommodate a vessel of deeper
draught than that of the Slavonia, pro-
vided the channel is followed This
steamship was not in the channel at the
time of meeting the obstruction, but on
the contrary was at least sixty feet too
far southwark, there being but $50 feet
between her port side and the bulk head
line. During the past few days, to make
the channel at the point in question still
easier of passage by deep draught steam
ships, the dredge Oglethorpe has been at

To-day Hoods Sarsaparilla stands at
