Everything Except Elk


The annual statement of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the United
States, published to-day, forms an exhibit
of prosperity and strength unequalled in
the history of life assurance. Not
withstanding the hard times, this COM
pany has lowered it's rate of expenses and
increased it's business in every essential
way. The keynote of prosperity in a life
assurance company, as well as in every
other enterprise, is the surplus earned.
The Equitable, after paying to its policy
holders during the year in various ways,
near.y twenty-five million dollars, has in
creased its assets from two hundred and
one million dollars to over two hundred
and sixteen million dollars, of which over
forty-three million dollars is surplus. No
institution of the kind in existence has a
surplus at all approaching this amount,
although some have greater liabilities. AS
life assurance contracts have the pecu-
liarity of running for many years into the
future, strength and conservative man
agement are of greater Importance than
any other features, and in these respects
the Equitable stands pre-eminent.

gotten the most votes into the box. The
Liberal Club leaders who came up to
watch the count for their side were pleas
antly received and the best of good feeling
prevailed.
Capt. John r. Dillon, the well-known
Liberal Club leader, came in with Alder
men s. w. Carter and George H. How
ard of Augusta, who spent the day here,
together with Chief Fireman Roulett of
their city, and introduced them to Mayor
Myers. The visiting aldermen were warm
~ received. They explained that they
had not come to Savannah to get any
pointers on elections, but entirely for the
purpose of inspecting the hose wagons in
use by the Savannah fire department, it
being the intention of the Augusta coun-
ell to do away with the old hose reels and
replace them with the more modern hose
wagons.
There is very good reason to believe
that the bitterness which has been so
marked in local politics for the last two
years is about to disappear, and that all
that is needed now is for the new council
to get down to business and demonstrate
that they are there in the interest of all
the people, and not Of any portion Of the
people.
Mayor Myers was asked If he had any
thing to say upon the result.
Il have nothing at all to say" he said
except that / am glad ! am out of It.
I have done the best could for the city
Of Savannah. and If anybody else can
do better l am glad to surrender my po-
sition to him. l did not desire to become
a candidate a second time, and only did
so at the insistence of my friends l ap-
preciate the hearty support they have
given me-"
What have you TO say?" President
Cam was asked.
"rhe Liberals are to be congratulated
upon their victory, because they earned
it, replied Mr.. Cam

friends in the city who trust that he may
recover from the attack, which appears
to be a serious one.

Mayor Myers Takes His Defeat With
Good Grace.

The count was received by Mayor Myers

CHICAGO Grain and Produce.

Chicago, May 27.-In wheat the ten
dency of the price was downward for
the most part, although starting firm
and a little higher than it closed yes
terday. July was wanted at the OPEN
ing at from 20 TO 701s, but the shorts
whose coverings caused this little
spasm of stretch were so freely accom-
rnodated that the market soon dropped,
the price by 1890 getting down TO 69ss.
A slight reaction followed. but about
1880 the market got an increase of
heaviness and broke it's previous
bounds. reaching 6s1sG6914 by noon.

scarcely the equivalent of the drop
here and at any rate from having been

being still favorable, the traders saw
in anticipation a large crop harvested.
