HE PAwNED THE UMBRELLA.
William Morrell Sent to Jail on War
rant for Larceny.

William Morrel, colored. who has been
trusted employee around the city court,
was arrested yesterday on a warrant is
sued by Judge MacDonell charging him
with larceny from the house, and was
committed to Jail.
Morrell has been employed by Sheriff
Blois on several occasions to assist him
in the management of the city court pris-
oners on Saturday. Thursday Deputy
Sheriff Rogers missed his umbrella and
began a hunt for it. He finally found it at
the pawn shop of Adam Strauss, and on
inquiry found that Morrell had pawned it
there for 40 cents. He reported the matter
to Judge MacDonell, who at once issued
the warrant, and Morrell was arrested.
He denied, however, that he was the party
who took the umbrella. Several articles
have been stolen from the city court room
within the last month or two, that have
never been accounted for, and Morrells
arrest may lead to a clew.

All the Lines Meeting the Clyde Cut on
Orange Shipments.

Orange Shipments.
The freeze of the Florida orange crop
has brought about cheap rates from Flor
ida TO the northern and western markets
for what is left. The Clyde steamship
line made a cut of one-haf in the rates
10 New York a few days ago. Where the
rate was So cents box it was made i7ls

the damage to the crop the Plant sys-
TEN and its connection, the Ocean Steam
ship Company in order to aid orange
growers in realizing upon such portions Of
their crop as may be in a marketable
conditions have agreed to make half-rates

nah, Florida and Western railway an

a CUT IN FRR1eHT RATES.
The Philadelphia Steamship Company
Inaugurates 1t to the South.

Jacksonville. Fla, Jan. 4.-This morn
ing the Philadelphia steamship company
made an announcement of a cut in rates
on all southbound freight over it's line
ana connections. 1t created a decided
sensation in transportation circles. This
cut is one of 20 per cent. to all Florida
points. The Clyde steamship company
will undoubtedly meet the cut and the
all railroad companies will be compelled
to come into the deal or lose their bust
ness. AS announced a few weeks ago,
the Clydes hold the key to the freight
problem in Florida. Georgia and a large
portion of South Carolina. BY giving
Jacksonville Savannah rate on south
bound business they can at any moment
force a similar reduction on all the trunk
railroad lines south of Savannah.

CLAIMS usuRY WAS CHARGED.
Mrs. Anna NJ. Logan Brings a Suit
Against the Savannah Savings Bank,

Mrs. Anna NJ. Logan brought suit IN
the city court yesterday against the sa-
vannah Savings Bank for $143.S7, which
she alleges to have been Illegally and
usuriously collected as interest on an
amount of money which she borrowed
from that institution.
She borrowed 81 300 from the bank Dec
10, 1892. and for security gave n mortgage
on house and lot on McDonough street.
This amount she states represents 81 $50
paid to her and $3.50 interest for a time
that was not stated. it being provided
that she was to pay the bank at the rate
of $50 a month.
She paid altogether, she states S3i5,
and when the amount unpaid oct II,
1894, S975.77, was demanded she had to
mortgage her property in order to make
the payment. She paid the amount under
protest as she claims she owed the bank
only fS32.40. SIe holds that she wsss
charged a rate of interest higher than s
per cent. by $l4337 on the amount Dor
rowed and that she is entitled to recover
this sum.

A DOCTOR UNDER MANY NAMES
Moore Released on Bail and Starts for
Florida.


Moore Released on Bail and Starts for
Florida.
Dr. Frank B. Moore. alias DIT. Pierre
LaRoche. alas Or. Frank Paul. alias Dr.
Castor. the clairvoyant and spiritualist
medium. an account OF whose arrest was
published IN yesterdays Morning News
was released yesterday morning by
United States Commissioner Connolly on
the $3.50 deposited by him as bail and
an examination was set FOR Monday az
tcrnOon.
The doctor kicked on the bail and de-
clared that the amount was excessive.
Under the circumstances. however, the
commissioner decided that IL would be
unwise to decrease the amount. Moore
left the city last night for Jacksonville.
where he was bound when arrested by
Detective Hauley.
To a Morning News reporter Moore
said he was bound 10 Jacksonville when
he first arrived 10 Savannah, but he liked
the place so well he concluded to stay
here all winter He came south for his
health, he said. After remaining here
two weeks he concluded to run down and
take look at Jacksonville. He was pre-
vented from doing so for the time being
by his arrest. He said before leaving
yesterday that he only intended to spend
a day in Jacksonville. There is some
doubt in the minds of those who saw
Moore here whether he will return TO Sa-
vannah, but it is likely that the $500 de-
posted by him with Commissioner Con-
molly as bail viii be sufficient attraction
10 bring him back.
Moore seems to be wanted I'm Louis
vile, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, all on
the same charge of fraudulent use of the
mails. Commissioner Connolly is some
what in doubt as to what jurisdiction to
turn him over to. The first officer to ar
rive win probably get him, if he is here.

Then and Now.

But few years ago, in the old town
Of Salem, Mass, had one been able to
forecast something of what the close Of
this nineteenth century should bring
forth, he would have been regarded as in

could he but have had vision OF a mod

behold to-day the perfection of modern
transit in the great composite volant

lutely undreamed of by our forefathers
chasing "Old Sol" its prototype, from the
gulf-washed shores of the south to the I'LL
innate western limit of our continent
in but a trifie over two days and had such
a dreamer dared to relate his vision, he
would straightway have been hanged as a
witch to the nearest tree. And yet the
Aladdin palace of the Arabian Nights
tales, borne upon the back of the geni

THE FRENoH NORMAL CLASS.
Prof. Muzzarelli Gives the Teachers an
Instructive Talk.

Instructive Talk.
A large, intelligent and enthusiastic
audience greeted Prof. a. Muzzareln
yesterday afternoon at the opening Of
his French normal course. The professor
prefaced his lesson by telling the teachers
that he wants them TO become good
French scholars. To attain this he will
do his best, but they must not think that
proficiency will come without exertion
on their part. There is no royal road to
knowledge, he said, and he wanted them
to be prompt and perseverant in their
work The class will meet twice a week
Mondays and Thursdays, at 4 p. m. The
course win last until June, to be reopened
oct. /.
The normal class opened with thirty
eight members. Pupils who intend TO
join must do so within a week, as after
that time no new members will be admit
ted for the reason they could not keep
up with the class.
The book for berinners will be the
Academic French Course. and the ad-
vanced class will study Les Antonymes
de Ia Langue Franchise, both works from
the pen of Prof. Muzzarelli. The last
book has had a very fiattering success
among high schools, colleges and uni
versities. and has won for the professor
numerous congratulations from such
high authorities as Michel Breal, of the
French institute, James Russell Lowell
and President d. c. Gilman, of Johns
Hopkins university.
The method OF teaching by Mr.. Muz-
zarell Is exceedingly instructive. Pupils
are taught to converse in the French
tongue from the very start and as in the
conversation no English Ii used, one
must give such attention to the lesson
that sound and rapid progress are bound
to be made The chief merit of this
method lies in the fact that pupils are
actually compelled to think in the Ian
guage they study
