OPPOSED TO CHARLESTON.
Beaufort Merchants DO Not Want
Naval Station Moved.

Messrs. Charles Danner and w. F.
Marscher of Beaufort, representing the
business men of Beaufort, spent yesterday
in the city, the object of their visit being
to confer with the city authorities and
business men with reference to the move
ment TO take the naval station from Port
Royal and TO locate 1t al Charleston.
Messrs. Marscher aud Banner called
upon Mayor Myers and also conferred with
n number of business men. As a matter
of course, they said the business men and
the citizens of Beaufort generally are OPP
posed to the removal Of the station from
Port Royal, as the station Is a benefit 10
them in many ways If 1t should be de-
cided to remove the stotion elsewhere,
they agree with the people of Savannah
that 1t Is unfair TO specify Charleston as
the place of location without giving the
other South Atlantic ports an oppor unity
TO present their claims, and for this rea-
son they are wiling to cooperate with
Savannah in having the matter left 10 the
discretion of the Secretary OF the Navy
with power TO select whatever port he
may deem best suited for the purposes OF
the station.

ACCIDENT TO GEN. COUPON.
His Horse Fell and Rolled Upon Him,
Erncfurfng a nh.

Gen. W. w. Gordon suffered a painful
accident last night about o'clock. His
horse fell with him on Estill avenue.
rolling upon him and fracturing a rib in
the left side. The General was taken TO
his home at Bull street and Oglethorpe
avenue after the accident, where medical
attention was given him. Under the
treatment the excessive pain caused by
the fracture grew less violent, and at a
late hour he was resting comparatively
quietly.
Gen. Gordon is devo;ed to horseback
riding, and scarcely a pleasant afternoon
passes that he does not indulge in it. He
is an excellent horseman, and the acct
dent occurred through no fault of his.
His horse was going west on Estill ave-
nue., near the army hospital. at a can
ter, when he stumbled and fell.
Slipping his feet from the stirrups as
soon as he found he could not hold the
animal up by the reins, Gen. Gordon
jumped to one side, but lost his balance
and fell upon his hands and knees. The
horse cried 10 rise, but caught a foot in
the reins, which threw him, causing him
to roll upon the General.
Immediately after the horse had rolled
upon him Gen. Gordon gained his feet
He was then conscious of a distressing
pain in the left side which caused agones
with the slightest movement.
DR.. ]. Lawton Hers and DR.. II. S.
Colding were driving on the avenue and
were not far distant when the accident
occurred. They drove up and proffered
their services. Mrs. George P. Walker
and her sister were also near by in a
Victoria, and the use of their vehicle vas
offered. Gen. Gordon was assisted INTO
it and driven home
Dr. Duncan and DR.. Charlton attended
the General. DIR. Charlton said he will
probably be up in three or four days,
and that in three weeks he will be well.

COMMITTEE is AT work.
Expected There VIII Soon Be An
other Raep Course Nicotine

Expected There VIII Soon Be An
other Race Course Meeting.
MIR. ]. K. Garrett, who Is a member of
the committee that is Investigating vari-
Gus matters relating to the reorganizatio
of the Jockey Club and the establishment
of race course in Savannah, has return
ed to the city after a brief absence. While
away Mr.. Garrett had opportunity to
make still further Investigations. and it
is probable that he will give the committee
some valuable informa ton.
No call has yet been issued for a meet
ing to receive the report of the committee,
but interest in the proposed race course
continues strong. and the members of the
committee do not propose to have it die
away through their not pushing the
project to the best of their ability. Sub
committees have sought informant along
special lines to which they were assigned,
and Il Is thought that some tangible step
may be taken when the next meeting Of
the citizens interested in the scheme is
he'd
The financial plan under which the club
may be retabilitated has not been set
forth, but member of the committee says
his suggestion would be TO make it a roo-
uar measure by issuing something like
800 shares at 800 each, distributing them
among as many persons as there are
shares, If so many can be fourd to sub
scribe. If not, then those best able and
with the greatest faith in the success of
the undertaking could make up for def
cienciss by subscribing 20 larger number
OF shares.
The gentleman places the cost of build
ing and equipping a track al $4,000. Many
believe it would be greater, but expert tes-
timony thus far has been lacking. These
details will probably be brought out at the
coming meeting.

Goods Disposed of in Small Quanti-
ties ON Their Account.

The sale went merriIy on at the govern
ment hospital yesterday morning, though
The quantity of goods disposed CT was not
as large as this day before nor as it is
likely to be large to-dsy 1t was ladies
day. the sale being almost exclusively
for their benefit Others were allowed to
bid II they cared to do so, but the goods
were sold in small quantities., and the
buyers who are attending the sale because
1t is in their particular line Of business
found no attraction in competing for such
small quantities
Towels, sheets, pillow cases blankets
and pajamas were sold, Maj. e. T. Com
eggs surgeon in charge of the sale, hav-
ing promised that opportunity would be
given ladies desiring these goods to get
in their BIDS. The announcement possibly
Kept away some of the larger buyers, as
there were fewer on hand The crowd was
not nearly so large as the day before, ow-
ing, principally, to the fact that many
were ont than merely as "lookers-on in
Venice
Relief from the pressure of the day be-
fore was welcome, for 1t was then rather
more than some cared to stand. The wa I'd
buildings, where the auctioning takes
place are narrow, and the pack masses
or humanity serve to make them rather
uhcOinIOTtabIe IN warm weather. Inc
thinning out of the crowd enabled many
more to gather around the auctioneer, and
the sale could proceed with far greater
satisfaction TO all concerned.
Towels were sold in patches of %, and
sheets in lois of 80. The prices were very
reasonable, towels bringing a few cents
each and shests ranging from 10 to 25
cents Blankets varied in prices, 81 being
about the average. The cost to the govern
ment had been far more than that.
Disposing OF the goods in small quanti-
ties impsdsd the sale, but to-day it will
go on in full blast large lots being ex-
pected to go on the block. The blankets
and linen will go first, and it is quite like
~ that the entire forenoon will be re-
quired to get rid Of them. OF blankets
there are nearly 1850 on hand, while of
sheets there are some 1900.
The sale will last longer than was an
t.cipated. Maj. Comegys now scarcely ex-
poets it TO be completed before Friday, It
is possible longer time may be required.
Those goods that are rot removed by their
purchasers will be resold, and it is not
improbable that there will be a quantity
of thsse. The afternoons are set apart for
the delivery OF. the g-ods.

AGAINST SINGER COMPANY.
Negro Woman Recovered Damages
for Seizure of Machine.

Ella Moultrie, negro woman, recovered
Judgment In the City Court yesterday
against the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany in the sum of $3.50. The plaintiff
sued for $1,000 damages alleged TO have
been incurred by reason of the actions of
the company's agent, in forcibly removing
from her house a sewing machine she had
purchased and nearly paid for.
1t was the contention of the plaintiff that
she had bought the machine outright and
that the company had no right to do any
thing more about 1t than to sue her for
the portion of the purchase money that re-
manned unpaid. The company said, on the
other hand, that 1t had been conditional
sale merely, and that il had resumed pos
session when the conditions were not COM
piled with and the instruments of the pur-
chase money promptly paid.
The plaintiff was represented by Mr..
James f. Evans and the defendant by Mr.
c. d. Kline. The plaintiff succeeded in
impresssing the members of the jury with
the justice of her claim and they award
er her a verdict which, while not for as
much as she sued for, is doubtless suffi-
cient in amount to salve her injured feel
ings.

pensivc Than Was Expected.
savannah's house drainage work is
costing more money than was intended
this year. The budget fer the year con-
tanned an approp: iaiion OF $4,000 for the
work, but Mayor Myers stated yesterday
that bills amounting TO sSS0o0 had already
been paid, aud that when oil the His are
in the expenditures viii exceed $4,000.

The work Of inspecting the house drain
