THE JoBBERs AND BROKERS'.
The Latter Meet and Talk Matters
Over.

a meeting OF the merchandise brokers
OF savannah was held yesterday afternoon
at the office of J. q. Haas 10 consider the
action recently taken by the Wholesale
Grocers Association in demanding that the
brokers enter into an agreement not to
sell retail dealers
The meeting was attended by the major
ity Of the merchandise brokers in the city.
Mr.. Haas. at whose Office the meeting
was held. Is out Of the city. Mr.. Henry
Roth. who is associated with Mr.. Haas,
was made chairman Of the meeting and
MI c. Wallace Howard was elected sec
rotary. Sometime was spent in discuss
ing the situation. but no definite action
was taken. il was decided to adjourn 10
meet again next week when Mr. Haas and
other brokers who are absent are ex-
pected to be present.
a well-known broker, who was seen after
the meeting by a Morning News reporter,
said that II was understood among those
present that they would not discuss the
doings of the meeting with outsiders.
As to the situation" he said, Il think
IL will VIII adjust itself. The merchants
nave made certain demands upon the
brokers, which the brokers are willing to
meet half way, and it Is very likely that
a satisfactory compromise will be effected
soon. The thing is not entirely one-sided.
The brokers think they have some cause
Of complaint against the jobbers. Some
Of the latter, who are loudest in their
complaints of the brokers selling to re-
tailers, never patronize the brokers at
all, but buy their goods through New
York brokers. when they could buy them
as cheaply through the Savannah brok-
ers. The jobbers should be careful how
they proceed. There are a good many snags
in the way in this kind of a fight
It is reported that a large number Of
retailers have entered into an agreement
not to patronize certain jobbers because
of the activity OF their firms in pushing
this matter endeavorng TO prevent the
brokers from selling to retailers. If the
report is correct the result is likely to be
very unpleasant for some of the jobbers.

ROBBED THE OLD FOLKS HOME.
a Bold Thief steals From the Little
sisters of the Poor.


sisters of the Poor.
A most audacious robbery occurred yes
terday at noon at the home Of the Little
Sisters of the Poor at Seventh and Lin
coin streets.
A white man called at the home at noon
and stated that he was fireman and had
been sent by the city electrician to change
the location Of the alarm box, which was
on one side Of the building.
The sisters consented, of course. not
supposing that anyone not connected with
the FIRE department would undertake to
change the location of an alarm box. The
man went to work, took down the box
ana piddled around for some time An
hour later it was found that he had enter
ed one of the rooms, broken open a locker
and taken s. in money belonging to one
OF the sisters. An adjoining locker con-
tanned gold watch and a pistol, but this
was not broken open. The man was gone
and the fire alarm box was found lying
on the porch where he had left 1t.
City Electrician Cleburne happened to
be passing in that nelghborhood and was
called in. He promptly stated that he had
sent no one to change the location of the
box.
The police were notified and Lieut.. Reilly
sent out Detective Scully and Officer
Brantley to investigate. Two white men
were arrested in the neighborhood later
on suspicion. Policeman Jernigan arrest
ed II. r. Cameron whom he found drunk,
lying in the street. Policeman McQuaid
arrested Amos Morton, who said that he
was painter and that he came here from
Chicago several weeks ago. The men are
held for identification.
The mother superior Of the home called
at the police barracks last night and
stated that neither of the two men under
arrest was the party who robbed the home.
Amos Morton was released at once. Cam
eron is held to answer to the charge OF
drunkenness on the street.

Par soon After They Are Put on
the Market.
To-day is the last day for deposits Of
Of Central railroad securities under the
Thomas and Ryan plan of reorganization
which has been declared operative, and
which it is expected will be put entirely
into effect Is Nov. ].
All securities not deposited to-day viii
be practically at the mercy Of the re-
organizers. They have reserved the right
10 reject them altogether or TO impose
such terms in allowing them TO enter as
they see TT
When the extension Un-n July . was
made. il was announced that there would
be 10 further extension Of the time and
It is not likely that any further time
Will be granted.
The Southern Bank has been taking
in the securities in a steady stream for
the last two weeks, and in fact, ever
since it began receiving them under the
present plan. The receipts recently have
been mostly small scrip interspersed now
ana then with quite respectable blocks
of stock and debentures. but most of the
larger holding were deposited some time
ago. The deposits here of minority stock
ana debentures have been unusually
heavy Judge Harden received a report
from the bank up TO last Saturday night,
but the figures for this week VIII not
be made up until the work is over to-
day. The deposits Of debentures up to
that time were $2,7S97OO of stock, 1857
shares. Sill 900 in Columbus and Rome
bonds. $4,000 in Montgomery and Eufauia
bonds. and $1,000 in Savannah and West
ern bonds. Large deposits Of securities
have also been made IN New York, but
those made there have been mostly the
bonds OF the system.
Judge Harden has information from
New York that the new consolidated
bonds, Of which there will be an issue
OF SIG 500.00J win be issued to the public
ct 97is when the plan is perfected. This
is the consolidated mortgage, covering
the entire system and all its properties
and holdings, including ,.e Savannah ana
Western railroad and ranks second in
dignity to the first mortgage of 100000.
which is a first lien on the main stem
from Savannah to Atlanta.
A great many Of the holders of the Diff
ferent securities for which the consoh-
dated bonds will be given prefer to take
Their share out in cash, and it is for thar
reason that a portion Of these bonds will
be sold. The tripartite mortgage win he
paid Off, as well as the floating debt.
While these bonds will be offered to the
public at that figure, as they viii be
a first-class per cent. security, ii is ex-
pected that they will go 10 par immediate
ly.
Everything indicates that the plan is
progressing admirably, and that it will
be put through without any difficulties.
The attorneys are now consulting in New
York for the purpose OF making arrange
ments for a speedy application to the
courts in order to obtain decree Of
sale.

ELECTRICITY THE THING.
The Tybee BondhOIders Likely 10
Get no Better Terms.

Get no Better Terms.
The proposition to equip the Tybee rail-
road with electricity has met with much
favorable comment on the part of the pa
irons of the road. 1t is believed that a
cheaper and a much more satisfactory
service could thus be provided, and one
too, which would result in a net profit
TO the bondholders.
One or two Of the bondholders who
have small holdings want to accept the
proposition of GO in first and so in
SECOND income bonds, offered by the re-
organization committee, and it was re
ported that a meeting would be held yes
terday to consider the matter. The large
majority of the bondholders. however.
have finally decided not to accept the
terms offered, and they did not care 10
hold a meeting in the absence of Mr..
Herman Myers, who is one of the largest
holders, in order to take the matter up
again
Messrs. Manning and Eckstein, both of
whom hold considerable amounts of the
bonds, are in New York. and it is sup
posed that they are stin in conference
with the committee. They will hardly do
anything, however, unless Dettef OiLcF
is made by the committee
Judge William d. Harden, who repre-
sents the committee here, was asked
about the matter. lie said that his infor-
nation was that the present offer to the
bondholders of the Tybee railroad would
not be increased. He has letter from
the committee under date Of July %. in
which it is stated that Messrs. McDon-
ough and Eckstein called on the com
mittee on Friday in the interest of the
bondholders of the Savannah and At
Iantic railroad, and asked an enlarge
ment OF the allotment OF securities TO that
property.
They were informed that 60 in first. and
50 in second income bonds, as offered
under the modified plan, was the best
proposition that the situation allowed the
committee to make, and that these fig
ures would not be altered either by pro-
posal or acceptance.
The writer stated that he had not seen
the committee from Savannah since that
time, but that one of the reorganizers
had received a letter from a broker in
New York as a holder Of Savannah and
Atlantic bonds, asking for an increase
to 65 in first and 65 IN second income
bonds. He also was informed that the
present printed modification was the u
timatum.

WANTED IN scREVEN COUNTY.
Sheriff BrOoker VIII Take Charge
of Frank Holmes.

Sheriff Brooker VIII Take Charge
of Frank Holmes.
Frank Holmes. one Of the negroes ar
rested for the theft Of two banjos from
Mr. L. NJ. Ryals' place west of the city
Saturday night is wanted in Screven
county, where he broke jail a year ago.
He was awaiting trial then on a charge
Of burglary.
Sheriff BROKER of Screven county not-
fed Lieut.. Reilly yesterday that he wants
Holmes when the Savannah courts are
through with him. As the case against
Holmes is not very clear one. he will
probably be turned over TO Sheriff Brook
er. The matter will be left with the So
licitor General. however.
One of the banjos stolen was a very
fine one, and was pawned by the thief
with Adam Strauss for $3.50. The banjo
was claimed by Moses Waddell an en-
ploye of Mr.. Ryals, but Mr.. Schaul, the
clerk who was I'm charge of the shop, re-
fused to let Waddell see the banjo when
he went to identify It, although McClel-
Ian, another employe VINO had seen the
banjo, asserted that it was WaddelPs
Schaul was quite pert when questioned
by Recorder Wilson about his refusal to
give up the guitar, and SAID, when threat
ened with legal proceedings, that he
knew of such cases being carried to the
supreme courts by the pawnbrokers. Re
corder Wilson told him that he was la
bic to prosecution for receiving stolen
goods. Schaul afterwards surrendered
the banjo to Wadden.
Ben Dots, one of the negroes arrested
for the theft of the guitars, was turned
over to the city court for larceny from
the house

AN OUTING FOR THE room.

Ones.

Circle No. Is Excursion to the Needy
Ones.
A large number Of savannah's poor peo-
pie were given a trip to Tybee and a day
on the salts yesterday by Circle No. of
the Kings Daughters. There were rs
women and children in the party. to all
of whom an opportunity for spending a
day at the seashore, accompanied by such
a good dinner as was prepared by the la
dies, is somewhat of rare thing.
The ladies were enabled to give the
poor people the excursion through the
kindness Of Mr.. J. J. Dale. who made
them quite a handsome donation for the
purpose, and they consider It quite a COM
plment that Circle No. Z should have been
selected for carrying out the plan of
giving these people an enjoyable day.
The party went down on the 1890 train
in a special car provided by Supt. Saussy
of the Tybee railroad, and spent the day
at the Chatham club house, which was
lent for the occasion by the Chatham
Artillery
A car was provided by supt. Lewis of
the City and Suburban railway to convey
the people to and from the depot, and
every arrangement was made by the la
dies for the comfort and convenience Of
the poor people.
The party included the inmates of the
Abrahams and Telfair homes for the
poor, and others not in these institutions.
They were provided by the ladies with an
excellent lunch, dinner and supper, and al
together the day was such a one as many
of them had not seen before in months, or
at least since the fresh air excursions
which this circle gave them last year.

Fails TO show Up.
w ]. johnson, the white man who caused
j. II. Lange to be put on the docket for
having his saloon open and doing business
on Sunday, has not been found. john
son is supposed to have left town.
The evidence given by Policeman Cros-
by, who accompanied Johnson to the
place is very direct, and Recorder VIII
son has stated that he considered it con-
elusive. If Mr. Lange is convicted, as he
probably viii be, 1t VIII be the first con-
viction for violation of the Sunday law
under the present administration.
Lange was very unlucky in being
caught. There is no DOUBT that there is
constant violation of the law, but it is
done very quietly, and strangers in the
city would not be aware of the fact, I'M
less they made special effort to find it
out i is very likely that the old sem
tence of 800 or thirty days, which pre-
vailed under the McDonough administra-
ton, Will be imposed

w. p. Green DOcketcd for a Viola
ton of the Ordinances.
Mr.. w. P. Green, who has been doing
an insurance brokerage business in Sa-
vannah for several months under the Ven
able law, has been placed upon the docket
bv several of the insurance men on the
charge of doing an insurance business
without having paid the requisite licenses.
The city tax ordinance imposes a tax
of $500 upon every insurance company do
ing business in the city through an agent
or broker. Mr.. Green has been doing bust
ness under his brokers' license, and has
NOT Maid any other taxes, considering
that he is not liable for them under the
Venable law. As he is not the agent of
these companies, and the companies are
NOT domiciled in the state, he does not
consider that he is liable for the $500 spe-
cial tax required of each company by the
tax ordinance.
The insurance agents consider however,
that the companies are as much repre-
scented here as If they transacted their
business through an agent, and that as
they have the same advantage for obtain
ing business as the companies which work
through the agencies that they are as
much liable to the special tax.
A formal demand was made upon Mr..
Green to produce his license by Deputy
CITY Marshal Kelly and as Mr.. Green re-
fused 10 do so, he was placed upon the
docket. as stated. The case viii come
before Recorder Wilson tomorrow morn
ing. and Is likely to prove interesting.
