A bold robbery was committed at the
stationery.store kept by George W. Wright
at 11S Taylor street, shortly after o'clock
Wednesday night, when the street was
crowded with people.
Wright and his family live in the rear
of the store, glass door leading from the
living apartments to the store. Wright
was in the rear playing with his children
for some minutes, and as he returned to
the store he saw the figure of man
crouched behind the counter where the
CASH d rawer is situated.
'Helio!'' cried Wright, "what are you
dong there?"
The man jumped to his feet, and pull
ing revolver oCt of his pocket pointed 1t
at Wright anG said, "If you move another
step I'll fill you full of lead"
Wright has only the use of his left arm,
but he did not intend to submit tamely to
being robbed, so he ran into the living
apartments and tried to pull open a
drawer where he kept his revolver. The
drawer got stuck, and seeing her hus-
bands excited condition Mrs. Wright
seized him by the wrist and asked him
what was the matter.

Policeman Coleman, who patrols Taylor

| the robbery FOR half an hour after it had
occurred. He and two detectives were de-

FARES REDUCED TO PORTLAND.

A Cut of So by Rail From the Regular
Rate.
The fares of e1cursionists on the Cali
fornia and Oregon road from here to Port
land are TO be reduced. The new schedule
will go into effect on Sunday next. The
first-class fare, which has hitherto been
$21, will be reduced to $19, and the second
class fare, hitherto $14. will be cut to $12,
making 50 reduction in both instances.
The rates TO Puget Sound will remain un-
changed.
The steamer rates from this City to
Portland are $12 and So respectively. 1t
appears that for some little time past
more than the average passenger traffic
has been By way of the coast steamers.
This has been in the nature OF quiet
pointer to the railroad that its rates were
deemed too stiff.
Mr.. Judah, however, who has been ad-
justing the new schedule, says that the
reduction should not be regarded as a step
in the direction of reducing fares. The
way he puts it is that there has always to
be certain relative adjustment OF rates
between the steamers and the railroad
and the latter is merely now going back to
the rate it had in effect from July to De-

Men at "a Loss to Account for the
Heavy Observation-Disclosures on
Value and Quantity of Cotton i'm
Port.
Savannah has 142, 800 bales of cotton on
hand. Most of ii is along the wharves
awaiting shipment and much is in the
warehouses and at the congresses. Some
is in the cars in which it was shipped.
There are now nineteen vessels in port
to receive cotton cargoes. The staple is
being slowed in most of them, and the
work on the others will begin shortly,
a visit to the Central railroads wharves
is interesting just at this time. The WIS.,
itor is impressed with the quantity Of
cotton. 1t is on every side, and wherever
one may look the bales catch the eye.
1t is piled in the warehouses, under the
sheds and on the open platforms About
one-third of all the cotton now in Savan-
nah is on the wharves. Up to date the
Central has received 20OSS9 bales. The
road is now supplying twelve of the YES
sells in port with cargoes.
If the receipts continue at the present
rate, they will equal and possibly surpass
those of the season of 1S91-1S92, which bears
off the palm over all other seasons Sa-
Vannah has had.
When it comes to assigning reasons for
the rapid movement, those who handle Ii
are not ready with them. Some regard it
as strange that at the present low price
cotton is bringing, il is not held for an
advance. Others meet this with the state
ment that the farmers have to sell in or
der to meet their obligations, let the price
they get be what it may Although, as
cotton has had free access and facilities
have been had for handling it at the in
fected ports, there seems to be no logical
reason why much of it should come to Sa-
vannah that would have found it's way to
those ports, many are heard to say that
the fever has something to do with running
up the receipts.
Figuring the value of the 142, 500 bales at
the present price, 5l9 cents per pound, they
are worth 1881, 600, the weight estimated
for bale being 500 pounds. Most of the
bales have been compressed. Their thick
ness is thus reduced to about two feet
The width is about four feet. If bale is
thus stood on end it would cover eight
square feet of ground. That is the posi-
ton in which all of the cotton is piled as
more can then be gotten on given space
Consequently there are more than fifty
four acres Of Savannah soil covered with
cotton bales The average length of one
of the bales is about seven feet. If all
the bales in the city should be placed in a
line, end to end, they would reach over
eighteen miles.
