country, and he was especially glad to
have in Savannah representatives of
such a combination as is headed by
such Napoleon of finance, captain
OF industry and manager of men as is
Mr., Spencer.
I'VE have no issue with the rail-
roads," he said, speaking for the
Chamber of Commerce, and we don't
intend to trouble you with any griev-
ances to-day; we are organized in the
interest of Savannah, which 1 think
the finest place in the world. From
Georgetown, S. c., to St. Mary's Ca,
is regular paradise; there's nothing
else like it in the world. Unfortun-
ately the people ddn't know this, and
the railroads are a little to blame
for it.
"A gentleman recently returned from
Europe brings the information that he
has seen railroad maps over there
showing the whole of the South, COL
ored yellow and labeled yellow fever
section, or colored with black and la
beled black belt Now I think it the
duty of the Southern Railway, which
reaches every part of the South, to
use it's utmost endeavors to counter
act the effects of such falsifications
and help bring people here to raise
more 15-cent cotton and develop our
mining and other interests. 1t will
pay the Southern Railway better than
it does to handle "a few tourists
through each morning and afternoon.
I'VE have the best country in the
world, and the cheapest and best of
labor, and the railroads should put the
truth of the situation before the people
of the North and of Europe. Such a
II
ness, both freight and passenger"
Capt. Purse said that the Board of
Trade takes it as good omen that
Savannah was selected as one of the
points to visit on the present tour of
the directors.
Mr.. J. B. Hoist was called on as rep
resenting the Cotton Exchange, but re-
quested that Mr.. John Nisbet repre-
sent him, He said that Mr.. Spencer
had shown so much familiarity with
the business interests and conditions OF
the city, that it would be of no use 10
discuss them, but he suggested that
there is matter of special interest TO
the cotton trade, to which he wished to
call attention. that of rebates. Sa-
vannah, he said. doesn't want rebates
but does want the same show that is
given other ports. He asked Mr.. Spen-
Ger to consider this matter.
Hanson Promised Aid.
Maj. J. F. Hanson, though claiming
that he was unprepared to speak, paid a
fine tribute to Savannah, saying that
for a third of a century he had been
intimately associated with business
firms in Savannah and in all that time
they had always proved to be intelli-
gent, liberal and progressive.
II have great faith in Savannah,
he said, "and its prosperity must be
admitted to be due, in large meas
ure, to the work of the railroads. OF
all the agencies at work in this part
of the country one of the most potent
for it's good has been the Southern
Railway. In any way / can contrib
ute to the welfare of the city / am at
your service"
Col Lawton, when called on, said
there was nothing left for him to say.

on behalf of all the trade organiza-
tons, he said, and the only thing left

I'M THE MARKET
BY A HoUsEKEEPER.

Because of the severe weather of the
last few days the market will offer but
little to the housekeeper to-day. Vege-
tables will be scarcer than usual and
the prices will not be reasonable
At the fish stalls red snapper has put
in an appearance. This variety of
fish is selling at Is cents a pound, or
two pounds for 25 cents. There has
been no change in the prices asked for
other fish, and the supply keeps well
up to the demand.
The raft ducks offered at so cents a
pair are not attractive, and the demand
is limited. Partridges are being Of
fered for 80 cents pair, and are good
Large quantities of blackbirds are still
being brought to the market, and are
being SAID without trouble at rs cents a
bunch.
Poultry continues scarce and is high.
AS far as can be learned, there will
be no drop in prices for some little
while yet. The severe winter probably
has much to do with this, since the
hens have not been laying to any ex-
tent. With warmer weather there will
be an increase in the supply of eggs,
and, of course, an increase in the num-
Der of chickens offered for sale.
Delightful hams, excelleatly cured
can be purchased in the market. These
| hams are sold for Is cents a pound cut
! or IA cents whole. Not every marketer
is aware of the fact that hams can be
| purchased here, and when beef does
not look like it should, or is scarce and
high, the hams are an excellent thing
to fall back on.
Small cucumbers from Florida have
put in an appearance, and are selling
two for 25 cents. Large bell peppers,
and fine ones, are selling at 5 cents,
and at two for Is cents. These too,
come from Florida. The snap beans
are sold for 20 cents quart. and are
of an inferior quality. They are scarce,
too. Squash are offered at three for
10 cents, but are small and not of a
good quality.
Tomatoes are selling at 80 cents a
bushel and are fine. The celery offer
ed is very good. 1t is sold for 10 cents
a stalk, and two stalks for 25 cents
The lettuce that is offered is worth buy
ing. The heads are hard, and can
be had at cents, and at two heads for
Is cents. Caulifiowers can be pur-
chased at two for rs cents. Large fine
caulifiowers sell for rs and IS cents
each.
Georgia strawberries would have been
in market to-day, but for the freeze
of Wednesday and Thursday. 1t was
expected that those from the Chinese
farm would be the first in the mar

conditions upset calculations.
Northern pears are selling for 20
CEN 4 quart, and are worth it, The
variety of pear offered is very fine.
The pineapples offered are the best
that have been in the market for a
long while, and are Offered at Is cents

cents a dozen. Oranges are not as good
as they might be, and sell for 20 and
25 cents a dozen. Bananas are not
so good, and bring 10 and Is cents a
dozen, two dozen for % cents.
No steps have yet been taken to in
force the anti-spitting ordinance.
While the persistent violation of this
ordinance is particularly offensive to
marketers it is also a source of an
noyance to all women.
If each housekeeper would write a
postal card to Mayor Myers, and call
his attention to the continued violation
of this ordinance, l am certain he
would see to it that it is inforced.
Let every housekeeper try this, and 1
venture to say there will be a change
in the condition of affairs in a week.
There is another matter that should
be taken up by the proper authori-
ties. Skins and pealings are thrown
on the sidewalks and more than one
woman has fallen around the market.
There is an ordinance against throw
ings peals in the streets, and some at
tention should be paid to it. One citi-
zen is now in a critical condition be-
cause this very ordinance was violat-
ed, and it is high time that something
should be done towards keeping the
sidewalks clean, not only around the
market. but throughout the city.

FROM FOURTH STuRY.
Peter Gieuere Jumps at Lewiston Blu.
Is Uninjured.

Lewiston, Ne. March 24-Jumped
from u fouf-story window of the An
droscoggin block and is unhurt.
Such was the feat Of Peter Geguere,
an old-of-town woodsman. 1t happened
at l. O'Clock, "Wednesday night. when
cfhcerS Malta and Crowley went to the
AndroscoGein blocks to quell the dis
turbance which reports had said Ce-
guere was making.
GiSUere was found in the rooms be-
longing 10 some of his friends on the
fourth story. He was singing hilari-
ously. The room and other signs about
the place showed that property had
not been handled with any degree Of
care. The Railways and the room it.
self were covered with clothing and
about by the man.
The parties who complained to the
officers did not want the man arrested.
They wanted him sent to his own room
down stairs. The officers accordingly
went 10 the room on the fourth floor
for this purpose. Giguere was fright
encd when he saw the officers in the
room but appeared willing enough to
go with them and one of them took him
by the arm to assist him down stairs
to his room.
At the landing, however, he gave a
sudden twist: broke free from the Of
ficcrS; dashed to the window and threw
it up called. you won't arrest me this
time" He then 'eaped into space, over
20 feet to the ground. The officers were
hCrror-strickcn. They thought sure
that they would find his lifeless body
beneath the window.
They rushed down stairs. The win
dow from which he jumped. opened into
back court in the rear part Of the
block and the officers accordingly hlr-
ried TO the court. followed by several
people from the rooms and tenements
who had learned of the affair.
When they got to the court. however,
the body was not there and it was only
after one of the officers went to the win
after ono of the officers went to the WIN
dow on the fourth story and looked out
INTO the court that hte officers could be
made to believe that they were beneath
the right window.
There was a thin coating of snow il,

thick crust of ice nearly half n foot
th1ck. The snow was only about three
inches in depth ana the mark OF his feet
could sbe plainly seen. 1t was evident
that after striking that he must have

The officers and the rest of the peo-
