AXIBEHENTS.The “Bunch of Keys” Engagement—

Scanlau To-Night—The Coming Attrac-tions.The “Bunch of Iveys’’ Company closed

its engagement before a fair audience lastnight. The performance was in everyway excellent, and was, with Wednesdaynight, one of the most amusing given inSavannah for a long time.

The attraction to-night will be Scanlanin “Friend and Foe.” The sale of seatsindicates a fine audience. The CincinnatiCommercialsays: “Mr. Scanlan remindsone most forcibly ofEmmet; he hasmuchof his peculiar magnetic force is possess-ed of youth, good looks, a remarkabypleasing voice, and, without difficulty,wins his auditors to him. It must beconceded that he achieved a great suc--088.”

Mr. Harry Kennedy, manager of theWhite Slave*Company, is in the city. Theplay will be given at the Theatre on Mon-day night, the sale of seats opening to-morrow morning. The New OrleansPicayune says "that the ‘White Slave’must certainly prove a popular success.It may well be said that slavery, as anAmerican institution, is far euough re-moved to become historical, and there-fore falls legitimately into the hands ofthe dramatist, who must be dull, indeed,if he does not find in it a rich abundanceot glowing dramatic material. Mr. Camp-bell. no doubt, appreciated this, and hehas wisdom to aim directly to

picture of Southern life in antehelium days without any political bias,or any appeal to prejudice, affluent incolor, large in proportion, and thrilling indetail as he had made his story, he hasavoided exaggeration with commendablecare.”

Gustave Frohman, one ot FrohmanBrothers, the well-known managers of theMadison Square Theatre in New York, isin the city on his way to New York fromFlorida. Mr. Froman, accompanied byhis wife, occupied a private box at thetheatre last night.

Aii Interesting Church Meeting.

Tlr. church conference and reunion inconnection with the regular Thursdayevening prayer meeting, at Trinity Churchlast night, was made interesting by thereport of the pastor and other officers ofthe church and its auxiliary branches —

the Sunday school, missionary and othersocieties. The lecture room was tilled,hardly a single 6eat being vacaut. Afterthe opening exercises and other matters had been performed, the pastor,Rev. T. M. Christian made an interestingreport of the condition of the church as toits memljership and the work lie had ac-complished since the beginning of thepresent year. He stated that the totalnumber of members recorded on the churchbooks was 545. There were, however, anumber of absentees, and those who hadremoved with certificates and without,deaths and other disposals which lessenedth“ number considerably. There had alsobeen a numb r ol'accessions to the churchby certificates—34 in this manner—-and baptism which made the member-ship approximately 500. The pastor hadcalled upon a large number, and therewere a number who by change of resi-dence he had been unable to find; in allhe had made nearly 400 pastoral visits,lie then read the names of those who hadremoved by certificate, and also thosewho had been received by certificate andby baptism. Reports were also made bythe Sunday-school officers and other offi-cers of the church, showing it to be in aprosperous condition for effective churchwork.

Not a Store for Kent!Such was the exclamation of a citizen

who has hunted all over the business por-tion of the city for a store. He desired torent one lor a friend who was anxious toopen a stock of goods here. The demandsof trade have taken up nearly every avail-able room on the ground floor on Baystreet and on the intervening streets toBroughton. This is also true ot some ofthe streets running south from Bay toBroughton, and is particularly true ofWhitaker, Bull and Drayton, and to someextent of Abercorn. This latter street isnow coming into notice, and propertyabutting on it is Increasing in value.

Two excellent stands for business areoffered for sale by C. 11. Dorsett in to-day’s advertisements.

THE NEW ASSESSMENT.

The Temporary Assessors Ready to Re-

port at the Next Meeting of Council—The Old Assessment to■be ReducedOver 53,000,000.The temporary board of assessors, ap-

pointed some time ago by the City Coun-cil to revise the assessment returned bytbe old board, will probably be ready to

submit their report at the next meeting

ef the City Council on Wednesday night,although there is still a great deal of workto be done in order to have the returncomplete by that time. •

Tbe task has proven greater than someof the assessors expected, and it is under-stood that if they had been allowed threemonths thev would not have had toomuch time'in which to make a returnthat would give general satisfaction.^

One of the assessors stated to a Newsreporter vesterdav that the assessmentwould probably be reduced over $2,000,000from the sum which tbe former board re.turned as the taxable value of the prop,ertv in the city.

tine of the great difficulties which thenew board have had to contend with liasbeen to ascertain the value of each hold-er’s share in property owned by a numberof parties. In some casesthereare as manyas eight owners ofone lot, with one holderowning the southeast one quarter andanother owning two-eighths, perhaps, ofthe remainder, and so on. Hence to learnthe extent of each share holder’s interest,and to assess the value thereof so as tomake an equitablereturn, has been a verytedious and delicate task, which has takenmuch time to accomplish. The board hasencountered other embarrassments ofgreater or less significance, the nature ofwhich are not known except to its mem-

It is stated that, as a general rule,large and costly houses are assessed lessin proportion to their cost than smallhouses with ordinary finish, and thereason of this is that a house which costSI,OOO to erect can tie approximatelyassessed at nearly the sum which wasexpended in construction, especially assuch structures are not generallyelaborate in finish, whereas a resi-dence which cost about $75,000 tocomplete in accordance with the tastes orwishes of the owner, could not be sold forsuch a large sum and would only be ofthat value to the owner. Hence, as one of

-the assessors remarked yesterday, “itwould not lie fair to assess it at the sumexpended in its construction.

“There are also several wharves along

the river front which cost a great deal ofmoney to build and which a few yearsago were yielding a handsome income totheir owners. These wharves now. owing

to the fact that the greater proportion ofthe shipping lies either above orbelowthe city, onlv return a comparativelysmall sum of money annually. Thereforewe have based our assessments on theearning capacity of the property in ques-tion.”

The reporter endeavored to ascertainwhether the percentage of reductionwould be increased by the assessors, butwas informedthat it was not proper tomake any public statement in anticipa-tion of what the assessors might seepropersuggest to the Council.

COLLISION ON THE CENTRAL.Two Freight Trains Collide at Eden—A

Caboose Telescoped and a LocomotiveDamaged.Yesterday morning about 4:30 o’clock

an accident occurred at station No. 2 onthe Central Railroad, which delayed thethrough and local passenger trains abouttwo hours, and resulted in the telescopingof two cars and considerable damage to a

locomotive. The particulars relating tothe affair are reported as follows:

Two treight trains were approachingthis citv, one within a short distance inadvance* of the other. The leading trainon its arrival at No. 2 stopped to enterupon the switch or siding, when the reartrain came up, and before the eugineercould check its speed dashed into theother. The last car of the leading trainwas furnished with a caboose, which twoof the train hands had left when the trainstopped preparathoy to entering the sid-ing. The collision telescoped thiscar with the one immediatelyahead of it, and completely wrecked thesides and roof of the former. The frontof the colliding engine was badly dam-aged and the smoke-stack demolished.A third freight train approachedsoon after, and the hands assistedto clear the wreck. Before the workwas completed, however, the thoughand local passenger trains came up andwere detained. Luckily no one was in-jured on the colliding trains, but if thetwo train hands oi the advance freight hadnot t>een on the track attending to theswitches, it is probable they would havebeen crushed in the caboose. It is saidthat tiie engineer of tiie colliding locomo-tive claims that the atmosphere was foggyand that he did not see that the trainahead of him was at a standstill.

WILL NOT AFFECT SAVANNAH.

The Reduction in Cotton Kates in Ten-nessee Does Not Influence This Mar-ket.The reduction in cotton transportation

rates from Memphis East from 62 to 50cents per hundred, caused some specula-tion yesterday as to whether Savannahwould be iu any way affected.

The reduction was ordered by Commis-sioner Fink, as announced iu the 3lorn-ixg News, and was, it is said, occasionedby the discovery that some of the roads inthe Southwest were cutting rates.

A News reporter called upon PresidentRaoul with the inquiry whether the Cen-tral could in any way be affected by thereduction.

“Not at all,” replied Capt. Raoul.“The cotton from Memphis’ territory findsan outlet through roads leading to theNorth and East, and does not come to Sa-vannah. 31ost of the cotton from thatterritory goes to the spinners’ market, anda good deal of it goes by water up the3lississippi river.

“Do you believe the former rates willbe restored?”“I do not know about that. The reduc-

tion wasprobably necessary, and the Com-missioner will exercise his judgment asto whether it will be maintained orwhether the old rates will be resumed.”

The New Morse Compressor.

The uew 3lorse cotton compressor isclaimed to be the most powerful in theworld, the largest size having a steamcylinder ninety inches in diameter andeight feet stroke ofpiston. It is built towork up to eight cumulations and to besafe under a steam pressure of 120pounds to the square inch, whichgives the piston a gross lifting power ofover 3,000 tons, and a net pressure of2,500 tons. The lifting rods are 11% to 12inches in diameter, the pins and axles14% to 15 inehes, and the bearings 12inches long. The press is 34 feet inheight from top ol foundationto top of cylinder, and isall iron, except eight uprightwooden posts 18X24inches aud 22% feetlong. The lower platen upon which thebale rests weighs 49,000 pounds and thebeam against which the bale is pressed58,000pounds. The compressing ot Hiebale is done by one stroke of the piston,made in two or three seconds, and 3lr.8. B. Steers, the proprietor, claims that153 bales have been compressed in anhour. The usual weight of a bale is from450 to 500 pounds. The new 3iorse com-pressor, Mr. Steers claims, will reducethe bales from a height of about four feetto six or seven inches in height. He ad-mits that the largest presses in Sa-vannah do very superior work, butstill thinks the Morse press has neverbeen surpassed, and is better adapted tothe rough handling which a press usuallygets in the country generally. A cut ofthis compressor is shown in another col-umn. ,

THE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION.The Work of the Entertainment Com-

mittee—The Meeting at the City Ex-change To-night—List of Officers andMembers.A Morning News reporter called last

night upon Capt. J. W. 3lcAlpin, Treas-urer of the committee appointed to ar-range for the entertainment of the dele-gates to the State Agricultural Society

next week, with an inquiry as to what

success the canvassing committees weremeeting with.

No complete report has yet been made,but so far as we can learn, the responsehas been liberal, and there is little doubtbut that the report which will be made atthe general meeting to-morrow night; willshow a large subscription, fully sufficientto meet all the requirements of the com-mittee, and give the delegates a receptionand entertainment in accord with theformer reputation of the city for unstint-ed hospitality.

“Has any programme been made outyet for the convention?”

“None definite. The committee up*pointed for that purpose will report to-morrow night, when it is expected all thearrangements will be complete.”

“What is the object of the meeting to-morrow night?”

“To hear thereports of the soliciting andother committees and receive the collec-tions, and to arrange whatever may benecessary to contribute to the success oftiie convention. It will not only be a meet-ing of the committees, but all who are in-terested in any way in the convention areinvited to be present.”

Capt. McAlpin stated that so far as hewas afforded an opportunity to judge thecitizens were greatly interested in thematter, and that the meeting next weekwould doubtless be more largely attendedhere in the city than any that had everbeen held.

The Tybee Jetties.

The work of strengthening the jettiesat Tybee Island will begin in a few days.The material and working party areready to go down to the island. Thiswork will save the end of the island nearthe lighthouse from further encroach-ments of the ocean.

The bill passed by the last Legislaturegranting to the city of Savannah theright

to extend the city limits, contained a pro-vision that the property thus taken inshould be exempt froiq taxation by tbecity for ten vears. This gives a manifestand decided'advantage to owners of prop-erty on the other side of Anderson street.This saving of 3 per cent, per annum isotitself quite a profit. 3fr. Dorsett citesthis as one of the strongest arguments infavor of persons purchasing the lots headvertises, and a good reason why hand-gome residences should be built in oursuburbs.—Adv.

tent: Mills should have the right to re-deem the premises as to complainantsmortgage, and to proceed againstClay, the assignor, not only for theamount of this decree, but for any otheramount Clay may be found indebted tohim, and for which he holds tbe assign-

ment of the decree foreclosing the mort-gage; as between Clay and 31ills, the as-signment of the same is not an extinguish-ment of debt. The complainants are notentitled to have tbe decree rendered in

their favor against Clay,. between whomand them there is no privity; and whenthe complainants claim under their mort-gage is satisfied, Wilkins is entitled tohave the amount received on this accountcredited on the personal decree in favor ofthe complainants against him.

< a ). The act of 1380allowing mortgagesto be foreclosed in equity conferred fullerpower upon the court by this mode of pro-cedure than it had at law; and in addi-tion to the foreclosure, a personal decreemay lie rendered against the mortgagor.Code, §3979.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.

Bright Flashes of Intelligence from Nearand Afar.

General 3lanager J. W. Green, of theGeorgia Railroad, was in the city for afew hours yesterday.

The track of the Gainesville, Jeffersonand Southern Railroad has been laidthrough Gainesville.

Gov. Bloxham and party, of Florida,are making a tour of the Southern part ofthe State as guests of the South FloridaRailroad Company.

Aiken has decided by a majority of 11ballots not to subscribe $30,000 to aid inthe completion of the Carolina, Cumber-land Gap and ChicagoRailroad.

General Passenger Agent Whiteheadand Traveling Passenger Agent Shaw, ofthe Central Railroad, left tor Floridayesterday iu the interests of the road.

The representatives of the East Tennes-see, Virginia aud Georgia Railroad whoare to decide the possibility of building aroad through Eastman and to Waycrossto secure a shorter route to Jacksonville,are expected to look over the ground veryshortly.

The South Florida Railroad has now amain line of 115 miles, nearly all of steel.The company has telegraph wires toTampa and also to Wildwood, in Sumtercounty. The company has recently built,or is now building, depots at Orlando,Snow’s Station, Fort Gatling, and Long-wood. Six thousand feet of side trackshave recently been laid.

The committee of the whole of the CityCouncil of Augusta hasrefused to grautthe Port Royal and Augusta and Knox-ville Railroads permission to connect by-track through the city, but it is said thatthey will proceed to lay the track, not-withstanding, in order to test the matterin the courts, as they claim a constitu-tional right to make such connection.

The surveying corps for the B. V. E. &

A. Road has reached Buena Vista. Thecost of grading from Ellaville to Ander-son was estimated at $2,000. The esti-mate from Ellaville there has not beenmade, but the surveyor says it will be inthe same rates. They will run back overthe line and locate the road-bed. Ami r-icus sent an informal proposition to thedirectors, viz.: That Americus wouldbuild the road to within two miles ofEllaville, if Americus was made the ter-minus. Americus was anxious to havean interest in the road at first, but theterms could not be agreed upon.

The annual meeting of the stockholdersot the Palatka and Indian River RailroadCompany was held at JacksonvilleWednesday. The election of Directorsfor the ensuing year resulted as follows:Ex-Senator Barnum, State Senator De-Land, D. G. Ambler, It. If. Coleman,Mason Young and A. B. Mason. Theaction of the officers of the road,in regard to the State land grant,which was taken a tew days ago at lalla-

i hassee, was ratified. The Times-Union\ says: “The company is now making an! experiment in regard to the class of laborbest adapted to this country. They haveat work on one section of their road aforce of 200 negroes. On Tuesday theyreceived from the North ninety-threeItalian immigrants, and areexpecting 107next Tuesday, making 200. They willplace the Italians on another section, andat a stated time ascertain which force ac-eomplished the most work, and the differ-ence in the amount of work done. Theyalso sav that great difficulty was experi-enced in inducing the Italians to come toFlorida, as thev had gained the erroneousimpression that this was the most un-healthy portion of America.”
