French C1aret Wines and German
Rhine and MOscIIe Wines.

The fine French wines in bottles are i'm
ported direct from the well known house
of Everest, Dupont & Co., Bordeaux,
France, by Lippman Bros. of this city.
Lippman Bros. desire to call attention to
The st. Julien brand Of claret wine, which
is very fine. but quite low-pFiced.
Their Chateau Leovlle is known as one
of the finest claret wines imported to the
United States.
Lippman Bros importations of Rhine
wines are certainly worth the attention
of connoisseurs. They are from the cele-
brated wine grower Martin Deutz of
Frankfort Main Germany.
His Bodenheim Rhine wine is very nice
and delicious, but low price.
His Marcobrunner Cabinet, from select
ed grapes, is well worth the attention of
the finest judges of Rhine wine in the city.
His Yohannisburger Cabinet is very deli
cate and rare, and is perfection of wine
and the finest of all.-ad

STAMPS STILL MISSING.
Only SIG Worth Found in the Letter
to Belmont.

The enevelope received at the savan-
nah PostofFce some time since, addressed
to Harry Belmont, one of the Ocilla post
office robbers, land intercepted by Deputy
United States Marshal White, was opened
at The jail yesterday in the presence of
Belmont by Supt Screven and Mr.. White
Belmont had given his consent 10 the
opening of the letter.
Much 10 the surprise of the officers, the
letter contained only SIG in stamps, which
it appeared Belmont had sent to j. Strouse
q Co. of Philadelphia, with an order for
six watches The firm returned the
stamps with the statement that il did not
accept payment for goods in stamps, and
in this way it happened that the envelope
fell into the hands of Mr. White
The officers were disappointed at their
small fad, as they had thought chat the
letter contained all the missing stamps
taken from the Ocila Postoffce. The
amount of stamps missing from the Ocila
office after the robbery was stated to be
about 1856. OF this amount $102.50 of
stamps were recovered by Detectives Ju-
Illus Stark from the lodging house where
the men had spent one night This leaves
still nearly $3.50 of stamps to be accounted
for
Belmont said that the statements con-
tained in the letter of Strouse & Bro,
were correct He had ordered six watches
from the firm and SEM SIG in stamps in
payment. What disposition he expected
10 make of such a number of cheau
watches he did not state, but men of the
type of Belmont and Nelson would have
found sittle trouble in working off
fanny" goods on unsuspecting victims.
Belmont would give no intlmation as 10

ment was left against the property of che

neys last night and the case went over

AT WORK ON COTTON MILL.
SUPERINTENDENT BROWN GETTING
1T IN RUNNING ORDER.

Not Known How Much, if Any, New
Machinery VIII BE Required-Mr.
Tilton Has Been III since Reach
ing Savannah-He Anticipates no
Difficulties in Securing Ample La
Dor for the Will and Believes He
VIII he Able TO Demonstrate TO
Savannnhians That Cotton Can BE
as successfully Manufactured
Here as Elsewhere.
The Savannah Cotton Mil Will soon be
busy again. Superintendent Brown is now
at work there with a force of men get
ting the machinery in running order. 1t
is believed he will finish all preliminary
arrangements before many weeks, and the
mill viii then be ready for operation.
Mr. G. H. Tilton of Leconia n. H. who
purchased the mill from the Southern
Bank some weeks ago, is in the city and
will remain until the mill has commenced
operations. Sinca he has been here Mr..
Ti.ton has been i'll at the De Soto. and,
consequently, has not had the chance to
devote himself as closely as he would
have liked to the property
Supt. Brown is a cotton mill expert from
Maryland. Mr.. TIton has the greatest
confidence in him and in his ability to get
the mill in running order. No report has
been made to the owner yet as to just
what new machinery, if nay, VIII be nee
essary to insure the proper equipment of
the mill. but he is confident that Mr.
Browns intimate knowledge of his bust
ness will enable him to start up with the
least possible outlay for other machinery
than that formerly employed for the man
ufaeture of yarn at the mill.
The boilers are undergoing some little
repair Local workmen were secured for
this and it IS moi likely that there will
be necessity for bringing any from dis
lance before the mill has been made ready
for business. The engines and other ma
chinery are being overhauled, there being
quite force employed at the work.
Mr.. Tilton says ii is his wish to get the
mill started as soon as possible. He is
sure he says that he viii be able to DEM
onstrate TO SaVannahians that il is posi-
BILE to make the manufacture Of cotton pay
as well in this city as anywhere else That
is q contention that many have made yet
there are some whom citizens generally
would like to see relieved of their doubts
Mr.. Tilton will have the best wishes of
the community in his venture.
AS 10 securing labor for the mill when
1t is ready to begin operation, Mr. Tilton
replied that he does not anticipate any
difficulty. He does not believe he will
have to bring operatives from other places
Mr.. Brown has reported that there have
already been o number of the old opera
tives to apply for places.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
People Talked of TO Fill MIR. Quicken
heimer's Place.

The question of who is likely to sue
coed the late S. Guckenheimer as a mem
Der of the Board of County Commission
ers is being discussed with some inter-
est. Among those whose names have been
mentioned as good men for the place are
Messrs. f. A. Well, Albert Wylly, S.
Melnhard, Malcolm Maclean, b. II. Levy,
p. r. Foye, S. Krouskoff and A. S. Guck-
enheimer. The board will hold its regu-
lar monthly meeting to-day week, but it
is doubtful If the vacancy will be filled
at that time.
1t has been suggested that it would be
a neat compliment to the memory of the
late commissioner to elect his eldest son
to fill the vacancy caused by his death,
especially as he is known to be a good
business man and has had some expert
ence in public affairs as a member of the
Board of Aldermen 1t is like Y, however,
that Mr.. Guck enhe mer VIII prefer to give
his entire time to the large business left
by his father.
Mr. +. A. We'll is receiving prominent
mention as a solid and popular business
man who. would be a satisfactory addi-
tion to- Re beard. Cine of the commiss. on
ers expressed a preference yesterday for
Mr.. B. II. Levy for the vacancy. Mr..
Levy ii is understood does not desire
the position, having declined to be a can
didate for commissioner at the last cleo
ton.
Mr. Albert Wylly is spoken of as a pop
ular young business man, who is thor
oughy acquainted with the county and
is qualified to fill the position
of chairman of the Committee on
Roads and Bridges held by the late COM
missioner. 1t is pointed out that there is
now no member of the board who is a
resident of the county outside of the city
and that Mr. WHY'S election would over
come this deficiency.
Mayor Myers looked up the law yester-
day with reference to the filling of va
cancies in the board of sinking fund com
missioners and found that all vacancies
are filed by the board itself except in
cases where the hoard is unable to agree,
when the filing of the vacancies falls
upon Council. A new board of sinking
fund commissioners is elected by Council
every ten years. The late Mr. Quicken
heimer was the oldest.me mber of the COM
missioners. having been one of the origi-
nal commissioners named sixteen years
ago. The name of Mr.. S. Herman has been
suggested as suitable man for the po-
sition. The present commissioners are
Messrs. j. d. Weed, II. p. Smart, John
Lyons and c. G. Bell.

FEW CALLS FOR sAPPHO.
But Two Inquiries Received at the
Library for the book.

Library for the Book.
The troubles of Olga Nethersole and her
New York company in putting on the dra-
matted version of Alphonse Daudet's
"Sappho'' have apparently created but lit
tie desire among Savannahians to read
the book. Inquiry at the Georgia His
torical Society's library demonstrated that
there have been but two to ask if the
book were among those on its shelves.
"Sappho' is not among the society ?
books. 1t is not known chat it ever &C.
Cured to those who look after the pur-
chase of new books to buy "Sappho," or
that it is regarded as such a work as the
society would be unwilling to hold for
circulation Most of the books ordered are
decided upon through requests for them
being made by members. The librar ian,
also, is at liberty TO order books he may
deem desired by the members of the so,
ciety.
Some interest has been stirred up here
by the reports of the play Nethersole is
appearing in, and those who have read
the book are rather of the opinion that it
would have to be greatly softened in drn>
matizing to admit OF its being put on the
stage without far more than sugges-
ton of immortality. The book may be
held up as warning to young men, but
such warnings are never Needed and a
morale is therefore lacking
