it is evident that there was an object in
placing it before the public in its present

intended to convey the impression that
Savannah was very frequently or con-
stantly subjected to the visitations of
terrible epidemics, especially yellow fever.

MECHANICS FOR MONEY.
All the Small Pieces Bear odd Des-

From the New York Journal.
Few people realize that every piece OF
money has a nickname. 1t has, however,

500 note has but one nickname, but it is
exceedingly appropriate as well as dig

thousands of persons in this country who
have never seen a note of this denomlna-
ton.

JERSEY CITY, Dec 23-Engineer John
w. Bogart and Fireman u. G. Halleck, of
local train out of this city last night,
were killed near Fish Creek, on the Hack
ensack meadows, by the derailing and
ditching of their engine. Bogart lived in
Passaic and Halleck in Waldwick. The
accident was caused by the breaking of
an axle of a freight car, which was part of
n train passing the local. The car was
loaded with lumber, and the lumber was
thrown upon the track in front of the
passenger train. The engine ran into the
lumber at almost full speed, and went
from the rails and down the embankment
Neither fireman nor engineer had time tC
jump. The passengers escaped injury.

New YORK, Dec. 23 AS an evidence that
the American Sugar Refining company
intends forcing operations in the coffee
trade. the announcement was made TO the
coffee trade by the sugar people yesterday
of a further reduction of one-half cent per
pound in the price of the coffee of the Wool
son Spice company. This makes u total
reduction of one cent since the purchase of
a controlling interestin the spice company
by the sugar people. Thus far Arbuckle
Brothers have not mot the reduction, and
considerable interest is manifested in the
trade regarding the course the latter firm
will decide upon. The feeling in the
coffee trade is that the reduction of
one cent per pound is merely preliminary
to a much severer one. The fight was pro-
oipitated by the Arbuckles' announced in
tention Of building a sugar refinery.

Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, 50 many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which TO one escaping from tho cold
and unhealthful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, ii is pre-eminently land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-wator lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpOu, pompanO, and others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety, Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers
and wild cats roam at large through vne more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the state. The more novel sport of al

Doubt the Diamond Robbery Story.

New YORK, Dec 23 The story told by
the young son of Abraham S. Herzog,
diamond dealer of Maiden lane that while
drumming in Boston last week he lost
$1,000 worth Of uncut stones, was the
means of having all the goods in his
fathers store seized Monday night by the
sheriff on an attachment obtained by
Heilbrunn & Marchand. They did not
believe the story of the theft and being
creditors of the father they thought it a
scheme to avoid payment of his debts.
Herzog, Sr., who has been in business for
q number of years and has always paid a
hundred cents on the dollar, denounced
the seizure as an outrage, and he spoke in
bitter terms of the creditors who had thus
forced him to the wall.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS



WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The senate was
unexpectedly diverted yesterday from
Cuba to the Pacific railroads. An un-
usually large crowd was in the galleries,
anticipating that Mr.. Vest would continue
his speech begun on Monday on the atti-
tude of Mr. Olney toward the Cameron
resolution The einteresGthis had awakened

matte gallery of First Assistant Secretary
of state Rockhill who Is next in rank to
Mr. Olney in state affairs, and who has
had special charge Of the reports coming
from consuls in Cuba. The foreign dele
CATION also was well represented.
soon after the session opened Mr. Petit
grew, of South Dakota called up his reso-
luton relative to the trust notes of the
Pacific railroad
The senator made u savage onslaught on
the Pacific railroad system in general
charging that combination of private
interests was seeking to absorb the roads
and close out the government. This opened
the entire question and Mr.. Morgan, Of
Alabama, followed with bitter arraign-
ment of the Pacific roads, charging them
with fraud and crime on n gigantic scale
The speech lasted until shortly before 2
o'clock, when the morning hour expired,
thus sending over the Cuban question
until after the holidays. Mr. Call secured
the adoption of a resolution asking the
secretary of state for information relative
to the killing Of Charles Gavin, an AnIeri-
can citizen by the Spanish forces in Cuba.
The senate adjourned until Jan. 8.
The house passed the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill, and
then adjourned for the holiday recess.
This is the first time in the history of con-
gress that the legislative bill has been
passed before the holidays The day was
devoted to the annual debate of the civil
service law, and as usual the attempt to
strike out the provision for the commits
