A NAVAL STORES TRUST.
The Plan TO Unite the Principal
Southern Houses.

The Plan to Unite the Principal
Southern Houses.
SAVANNAH. Ga. Nov. 4.-For several
days there have been rumors here of the
proposed organization of all the larger
naval stores factors into one big concern.
These reports have it that all the naval
stores houses in Savannah, Tampa. Pensa-
cola, Jacksonville, and Brunswick are to
be formed into one big company and an ef-
fort made to control the entire output il
the South II has been learned that J. X.
Garnett a man OF influence in the East
has been here recently working up the
plan. The general plan is for the organza-
tion OF one large company with a capital
of SIP coo. 600 or $l5, 600 O00 to buy up ali
the large factors and form one company. II
is stated that some of the larger houses
in Savannah have given options already.
According to reports that have not yet
been entirely confirmed one result will BE-
the opening of one central Office in Sa
vaunah, with branches in other cities, ana
through this central Office all the business
of the company will be attended to. II the
combination should perfect its organization
it would control So per cent of the naval
stores production in the United States. and

be undesirable a place in the immediate
neighborhood Of the Sante prison, to which
criminals condemned to death are now con-
signed would be the natural choice. But
the inhabitants of the houses in the streets
adjoining the Sante prison protest yfgor-
ously against locating the guiIlotine there
on account of the rabble that is attracted
to executions. Senator's, deputies. and mu-
nicipal officials are interested ia the agita-
tion, and the Government has been obliged
to recognize the question as 3 legitimate
one
The sentence of capital punishment has
NOT been pronounced in Paris in a long
time but two murderers are now await
ing execution, and it is hoped that the
present difficulty viii hasten the abolition
of public executions in France. This would
have been done before, but the French dep
uties. who are opposed to capital punish
ment altogether refuse to pass the neces-
sary bill, arguing that comparative decency
in the carrying out OF executions privately
In prison would retard the final suppression
of the guillotine.

Power lay the matter before Judge Run

AS soon as the court opened Power de-
mauded that q warrant be issued for his
mothers arrest While he WAS talking
Mrs Power, the elder came into court
and insisted thar she be heard. After Judge
Runyon heard her story he said that he did
not like TO cause an arrest in the case and
advised that she leave her sons house and
get out OF the city Mrs. Power agreed to
do this, and said that she would depart on
the 1 o'clock train. R0undsman Freder-
ickston accompanied her to Powers house
and she packed her trunk. They then went
to the station aud she saw her trunk
placed in the baggage car. FredericksJon
assisted her on the train just before it
started, bur as soon as the wheels began 10

car. Frederickston arrested her on a
charge OF disorderly conduct. She was
taken Immediately before Judge Runyon,

An EagIe Cnrries Away Baby From
Its Cradle in House.
PARIS, Nov 4.-The little hamlet of
House. situated in a wild spot twenty miles
from Nice. at an altitude of 500 yards, has
been thrown into CONSERVATION. because a
baby has been carried off by an eagle. The
parents of the baby had placed it in a cradle
under the shelter of a shed. before going to
work in the fields. The eagle had been
observed lowering over the village for some
days, and last week carried OFF a small pig
from the samS farmyard a shepherd saw
the bird swoop down and rise again with
the child in it's claws. but he was too far
OH to interfere. The rocks near House,
where il was supposed the eagle had its
eyrie, have been thoroughly searched, but
no trace OF the body has been found.
The law which declares that executions
in France must take place in public is
now causing peculiar embarrassment to the
Paris authorities. The Grande Roquette
prison outside Of which the guillotine now
used was erected. has been demolished ana
the site is no longer available To find a
new one is the difficulty. A central spo:
