More Facts as to the Suit of wilder
q Co. VS.. the Ocean Steamship Co.
The suit of Wilder & Co. against the
Ocean Steamship Company for $4,000 for
the loss of 400 bales Of cotton, an account
of which was given in yesterdays Morn
ing News, will no doubt prove an inter-
esting one. 1t appears that the cotton
was not actually lost, but loss is claim
ed because it was damaged. The cotton
was received by the Ocean Steamship
Company. Some time after a bill Of lad
ing for it had been issued and was shipped
to New York and rendered to the Anchor
line and others to be carried to Naples to
Asselmayer, Phster & Co. All the lines
to Naples refused to receive it because
it was damaged II was then sold for
about $10,5S6, which amount was turned
over to the Naples firm to be used as
an offset against any claim that might
be made 1t is claimed by the Ocean
Steamship Company that the cotton was
damaged when turned over to IL, and it
is said evidence to this effect will be
brought forward when the case comes up
for trial. Asselmayer, Pfster & Co. some
time ago made claim against Wilder
& Co. on account Of the same cotton, which
was settled satisfactorily to both parties,
and then came the suit of the latter
against the Ocean Steamship Company.

He Hopes For the Success of Mr..
stevens Direct Trade Plan.


stevens Direct Trade Plan.
Gen. I. w. Avery Of Atlanta was in the
city on business yesterday. and was one
of the callers at the Morning News office
Gen. Avery, while not on that business
at present, is deeply interested in direct
trade through Savannah to foreign ports.
Il trust" he said. that Mr.. Marshall
Stevens plan will be favorably consid-
cred, and that we will be able to estab-
lsh a direct line OF steamers from this
port to England. He wanted to get the
Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham
and Central of Georgia together, to form
a through line from the west, and then
establish a line of steamers from Savan-
nah across.
'Mr Stevens, who is general
manager of the Manchester Ship
Canal Company, agrees to as
sumo twO-thirds of the risk, if the
railroad companies will assume the other
third, and l trust those interested will ex-
ert their utmost efforts toward bringing
about some arrangement in this direction,
which win be of great benefit, not only
to Savannah, but to this entire section -
Gen. Avery is one of the Oldest advo-
Gates of direct trade and has done much
toward furthering plans, which may ulti-
mately bring it about.
