THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
Negotiations to BE Opened for Steam
Sims to the West indies.

President Joseph Ferst, of the Wholesale
Grocers' Association, yesterday appointed
Messrs. L b. Tiedeman, James NJ. Dixon
and Joseph Ferst, a committee to walt on
the Ocean Steamship Company and the
Merchants and Miners Transportation
Company and ascertain IL either of them
win endeavor to give Savannah a service
10 the islands Of Porto Rico and Cuba.
This action was in accordance with the
resolution adopted by the association Of
Wednesday. If the companies referred to
cannot give any assistance in the matter
then the committee will turn its atten-
ton TO companies In New York, or else
where. and endeavor, by offering support
of the merchants here to get one of them
to make Savannah a stopping point for
steamships running between New. York
and the island ports.

Wednesday, Between now and then the
committee viii perform the first part Of
its work, at least and be in a position 10
report to the jobbers as to what may be
expected from the companies now repre-
scented here. It Is the general hope of the
merchants that some satisfactory ar
rangement can be made with one of them,
as it Is not desired, unless necessary, to
bring in u competitive line from the
North. At the same time, If some arrange
ment cannot be made with either of the
companies referred TO- it is apparently the
intention to go ahead at once with nego-
tiatlons with companies elsewhere, even
if 1t is found necessary, in order to secure
the steamers, to divert Savannah freight
10 them.
The first drummer from Savannah to the
West Indies is now on his way to Cuba.
He is Mr.. Adolph Rosedale, formerly with

KILLED BY A LIVE WIRE.

Feed Wire for Trolley Causes the
Death of Negro Woman.
Mary Shaw, a colored woman about 40
years old, ran into live wire at OFT and
Gwinnett streets last night shortly before
10 O'Clock, and was almost instantly kill
ed.
The woman lived on Gwinnett street,
east of the Waters road. She worked in
the city, and was in the habit of going
home that way after finishing her work.
Last night she was walking along Gwin-
nett street, when a live wire struck her
right in the abdomen, burning her clear
through the flesh in a horrible manner.
Coroner Goette was notified and went out
and made an investigation. He found that
the wire belonged to the street railroad
company, being a feed wire for the troll
ley. How it happened to be down is not
known. The woman leaves two children.
The coroner will hold an inquest to-day.

LEFT MUCH WORTHLESS PAPER.
Louis Robinson Charged with FOrG-
ing the Name of r. n. Springer.

Louis Robinson Charged with Forg-
ing the Name of p. II. Springer.
There was considerable gossip in busi-
ness circles and among the general pub
lie, yesterday about the indictment found
on Wednesday against a former resident
Of Savannah, on the charge of forgery.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. P. B. Springer
was the only witness before the grand
jury, and from other matters connected
with the case which came to the light,
there appeared to be little doubt in the
minds of all that the man indicted was
Louis Robinson, for some time manager of
the Robinson Printing House.
In some way the opinion got abroad yes
terday that he had been located in New
York by a Savannah officer, who was
merely awaiting further instructions from
Savannah before placing him under arrest
If this is correct it is PROBABLE that the
news of the capture of the indicted man
win come to-day or tomorrow, that Civ
ing ample time for the warrant based on
the indictment to reach New York or any
other city in the east where Robinson may
have located
Mr.. Robinson. 1t will be remembered,
disappeared from Savannah several
months ago, leaving his business affairs
in a chaotic conditi<n. A number of notes
in the Chatham Bank were found, it is
alleged, TO be forgeries, the name of Mr..
Springer having been placed on them
without his knowledge or consent Other
notes, which were in the hands of other
parties, were also declared by Mr.. Spring
er to be forgeries. MIR. Springer paid all
notes which he had Endorsed for the Rob
nson Printing House. The Chatham
Bank, as the largest loser by the trans
actions of Robinson, is believed 10 intend
to push the prosecution in the event of his
capture. which is regarded as practically
assured.
Robinson had been in business here for
a number of years. While 1t was known
that he was having considerable financial
trouble, his friends We're surprised, after
his precipitate departure, to find that the
grave charge of forgery was hanging over
him. No definite statement of the amount
of forged paper has been given the public
but il is SAID to run Up toward 5000. In
addition, there was quite number of
worthless checks aflOat when the dlsclos-
ures came which forced Robinson to leave

NO TREE CENSUS TAKEN.
Estimated That Many Trees Have
Been Destroyed.

been Destroyed.
It has been suggested that the Park and
Tree Commission might take a census of
the trees remaining since the storm. This
has been the custom of some of their pre-
decessors, and has always proven a mat
ter Of great interest to the many interested
in this culture.
The last census of the trees In the city
was taken some time ago by DIR. George
II. Stone. the former chairman. He went
In his buggy mornings, making his way
from street to street during the cooler part
OF the day. and counting the trees as he
progressed. Each day a number of streets
were traversed until finally the task was
complete. Or. Stone found there were 1900
trees in the city. A large number of these
have been destroyed, however, SO that now
it Is estimated that there are only about
5000 or 5000.
The commissioners have not expressed
themselves as to whether they intend to
take a census. II is likely a meeting will
soon be held for the purpose of electing
officers, since the recent designations and
new appointments, and the matter may be
talked over then.

Further advices from the counties in this

the earlier statements that the crop has
been considerably damaged by the storm
and heavy rains coming upon top of the
rains, which had previously damaged it
to some extent. Letters continue to come
to the factors in Savannah from planters
deploring the losses that have fallen upon
them. Some are written in a despairing
tone, and 1t is evident that in Bulloch,
Emanuel, Tattnall and some other coun-
ties the loss 10 the growers of long sta

Oil Films For Decoration.

A new method of decorating surfaces
with color has been devised by M.
Charles Henry, which promises to have
an extended development. Every one
knows that if drop of oil or of spirit
of turpentine is allowed to fall on wa
ter it will spread over the surface of the
water, showing iridescent colors as the
pellicle extends and becomes thin
enough to cause interferences in the light
reflected from the upper and lower sur
faces Sometimes these iridescent col
ors are very brilliant, particularly with
turpentine or essential oils, but they
disappear, of course, with the evapora-
ton of the volatile substance. M. Hen
ry's invention consists in adding to the
volatile spirit some substance which as
the spirit evaporates will remain fixed
at the same time that it retains the
properties of the spirit pellicle. For
this purpose he employs bitumen or
resins of certain kinds, dissolving them
in turpentine and allowing drop of
the solution to fall on the water. The
solution spreads, as turpentine alone
would do, but as the turpentine evapo-
rates a thin permanent film of rosin is
left, which exhibits the iridescent COL
ors of the original liquid. This perma-
nent film is then taken up on paper, to
which it gives beautiful iridescence
Either black or white paper may be en-
ployed, the former giving greater bril-
liancy and the latter greater softness
While the liquid solution is spreading
over the paper the colors may be arti-
fcially modified by blowing on the film
or by whistling near it or in other
ways, and these variations will be per-
petuated in the finished work. 1t will
occur to the scientific man that there
might be a possibility of producing such
variations by the action of colored light,
as is done by the Lippmann process ON
film of bromide of silver and gelatin,
and experiments are likely to take that
direction. Architect

Andover's Indian Ridge Is Safe.

Not Andover alone, but the country
at large-yes, and students of geology
the world over-are to be congratulated
on the saving Of Indian ridge, it's rock
and its trees, from an invasion with
spade and AK, says the Boston Tran
script. It was the sentiment of woman
kind that brought this to pass, and the
names of the four women of Andover
who have SO earnestly, energetically and
Systematically worked for this end for
so long time are Alice Buck, Salome
J. MARYLAND, Susan M. Blake and Emma
J. Lincoln. The owners of the ridge,
five heirs to an estate, proved them
selves to be equally public spirited by
their united action in reducing their
price set upon the tract from 81, 600 to
So, 500.
Indian ridge will henceforth remain
as beautiful park for the town, as an
inspiration for it's people and for every
visitor to it's great pine woods, as a liy-
ing chapter in the geological history of
the continent, for nowhere in the land
can the phenomena caused by the an
cient ice drift be so conveniently studied
as here, and these % acres just pur-
chased, together with an adjoining tract
of nine acres previously owned by the
town, will stand for what can be &C
complished in this country with self
sustaining communal woodland.

The Weight of Brains.

Some interesting facts bearing on the
size and weight of the brain were given
recently by Sir William Turner. In the
case of Europeans the average brain
weight is from 40 ounces to so ounces
in man and from A ounces to 40 ounces
in woman. 1t is interesting to note that
even in newborn children the boys have
bigger heads and heavier brains than
the girls. The brains of number of
men of ability and intellectual distinc-
ton have been weighed and ascertained
to be from 80 ounces to 60 ounces. In a
few exceptional cases, as in the brains
of Cuvier and DR.. Abercrombie, the
weight has been more than 60 ounces,
but it should also be stated that brains
weighing 60 ounces and upward have
occasionally been obtained from persons
who had shown no sign of intellectual
eminence. On the other hand, it has
been pointed out that if the brain falls
below certain weight it cannot prop
erly discharge its functions. This mini
mum weight for civilized people ex-
perts have placed at 81 ounces for men
and 80 for women.-Public Opinion.
