The Hlaaonlc Fair—Acknowledg
ments.
We publish in another column this morn
ing a card of thanks prepared by the sub
committee representing the four Masonic
Lodges of the city, who were appointed for
that purpose at the recent meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Masonic Bazar
and Fair. It is proper that acknowledg
ment should be returned the many friends
throughout the country who 60 liberally
and generously responded to the appeal
sect forth, and no terms of commendation
and appreciation too earnest, cordial and
sincere can be applied in acknowledgment
of the valuable services of the noble ladies
which rendered this enterprise such a
grand success.
The committee have well discharged their
duty, and in few but forcible words have
given expression to the feelings of grateful
appreciation which pervade the ranks of
the fraternity in this city.
It would be well for those who have re
ceived contributions from friends abroad to
send them copies of the paper containing
this official acknowledgment of their
generosity and friendliness.
Excursion of ilie Young men’s
Chnrcb Guild,
It will be seen by announcement else
where that the Young Men’s Church Guild
will have an excursion to Tybee on Friday
afternoon, the 10th June. The steamer
Plant has been secured, and will leave the
wharf foot of Abercorn street, at two
o’clock promptly, and will return by moon
light. It will be remembered that the ex
cursion given last year by the Guild was
a very successful affair, and pronounced
one of the most enjoyable of the many
social events of that season. There is no
doubt that the approaching excursion will
prove equally as pleasant, as an efficient
committee have charge of the arrangements.
There will be music and refreshments on
board. The tickets are only fifty cents,
children half price, and may be obtained of
any of the honorary or active committee
whose names appear in the advertisement.
Personal.
Gen. Fitz'nugh hie, who was the gallant
commander of one of the best cavalry divis
ions In the Army of Northern Virginia, ar
rived In the city yesterday and registered at
the Pulaski House. General Lee, It will be
remembered, a few evenings since delivered
an interesting address before the Macon
Public Library on the battle of Chancellors
ville. During the day he was called upon
by many of our prominent citizens, among
them his old comrade, Gen. Robert H. An
derson. General Lee’s stay iu the city will
be brief.
Excarilon of tbe Blues.
An announcement is elsewhere made of
the annual excursion of the Republican
Blues to Tybee on the afternoon of Friday,
June 3d. The steamer Plant has been se
cured and there will be a brass band en
gaged. Every arrangement necessary for
an enjoyable time will be perfected, and we
have no doubt the excursion will prove as
successful and pleasant as such events al
ways do when engineered by tbe Blues.
Tickets may be obtained from any of the
committee named In the advertisement.

Neglect ol Sanitary Regulation*.
Although the importance of a strict com
pliance with all sanitary regulations has
been frequently urged In these columns, it
appears there are some people who are
utterly indifferent to their own comfort and
health, and have no regard for the general
welfare. Several parties have already been
reported by the police force for having
filthy premises, but on one plea or another
have managed to escape the penalty of
their willful carelessness and neglect.
Yesterday morning in the Police Court
there were two such cases. Elizabeth Col
lins, colored, was charged with having a
filthy yard, and for refusing after being
officially notified to have the same cleaned.
The case was a very plain
violation of the city ordinance, and Eliza
beth was requested to pay a fine of $5 or re
tire to the snades of Cuyler swamp for fif
teen days.
Savannah Warren,another colored female,
living near the corner of Farm and Indian
streets, was charged with throwing offal in
a vault on her premises. Savannah could
not deny this serioss charge, and a fine of
$5 or fifteen days was Imposed upon her.

voyages across the Atlantic. She left New
York on Monday, the 16:b, and arrived at
Fortress Monroe on Wednesday, leaving
there for Charleston on Friday last. The
Hon. Francis A. Stout, the Hon. J. J. H.
iligginson and T. Bailey Myers, Esq., of
New York, were, on board. All of these
gentlemen are on a cruise south, and will
remain in Charleston some time, and it is
probable wiil stop in Savannah for a few
days. Mr. Stout and Mr. Iligginson are
members of the purchasing committee of
the South Carolina Railroad, and atrip over
that road and a visit to other points of in
terest in the State ia projected for their
pleasure. The Resolute has been to Labra
dor and to Constantinople, is pronounced
to be a fast sailer, and is thoroughly and
elegantly equipped.
The New Hotel—Heeling Yesterday.
Pursuant to an invitation from His Honor
Mayor Wheaton, a number of citizens, rep
resenting all classes of business, met yester
day afternoon at 5 o’clock in tbe Council
Chamber in the Exchange. On motion of
Mr. T. S. Wayne, Mayor Wheaton was
called to the chair, and on motion of Capt.
Henry Blun, Mr. Wayne was requested to
act as Secretary.
After some discussion, a motion was made
by Capt. F. M. Hull requesting the Chair
man to appoint a committee of ten to make
inquiry as to tbe cost of building anew
hotel, suitable locations, and tbe probability
of raising a sufficient sum to carry out tbe
undertaking. The motion was adopted, and
the meeting adjourned subject to the call of
the Chair.
The Stock Xlarket.
The stock market was active and feverish
yesterday, and large sales of all the leading
stocks were effected. Central common
opened at 160 bid, 161 asked. A number of
shares were sold, and the stock closed at
160 bid, 160 X asked. Georgia common
opened at 180 bid, 182 asked, and advanced
two points on the opening figures, closing
at 182 bid, 183 asked. Southwestern
seven per cent, guaranteed opened at 136
bid, 137 asked, and during the day ad
vanced three points, closing at 139 bid, 140
asked. Memphis and Charleston opened
at S3 bid, 85 asked, and advanced eight
points, closing at 90 bid, 92 asked. New
Savannahs opened at 89 bid, 89J£ asked, and
closed unchanged. There was a good de
mand for them throughout the day.
Fell Dead on the Street.
Yesterday afternoon about half-pMt 3
o’clock & colored woman fell suddenly to
the sidewalk on Broughton street, near Bar
nard, and when approached by some par
ties was found to be dead. She had
been in the store of Mr. L. Fried
to purchMe some articles, and left the place
apparently perfectly well to return home.
After proceeding a short distance, however,
she was suddenly prostrated, and, as stated,
expired almost immediately. The Coroner
was notified and held an Inquest, when It Is
supposed that a verdict of death from
providential causes was rendered.

ARREST OF A PENITENTIARY
CONVICT.
A Negro Captured for Stealing Here
Proves to be an Escaped Convict
from a Camp near Augusta.
Several days since tbe full particulars of
the arrest of a negro named Edward Grant
by Constable Endres, for stealing cattle,
was given in the columns of the News.
Two fine cows were stolen from a planta
tion near Brewton Hill, butchered and sold
In this market. Information was obtained
which cast suspicion upon one Edward
Grant, but search for him was futile, m he
had fled to South Carolina, and, it was
learned, wm engaged at work on a planta
tion near Back river. LMt week Edward
came over to Savannah to make some pur
chases, and Constable Endres, being noti
fied of It, proceeded to Screven’s ferry and
nabbed tbe Individual as soon as be landed,
and be was committed to jail.
After his arrest it was ascertained that
be wm an escaped convict from the camp
of Bondurant, Joplin <fc Cos., near Augusta,
and Magistrate Molina at once wrote to tbe
Keeper of the Penitentiary, Mr. Nelms, to
learn if the suspicions were well founded.
He received a reply that a negro named
Edward Grant, answering tbe description
of tbe party under arrest, bad escaped from
a camp in Richmond county, and that a
reward was offered for his apprehension.
Yesterday morning the Magistrate received
a telegram from the lessees of the camp,
Bondurant, Joplin & Cos., requesting him to
return the prisoner at once to their camp.
Constable Endres left last night by the
Central train for Augusta with his prisoner
in custody.
Grant was arraigned In Chatham Superior
Court on the 10th of December, 1880, in
connection with another negro, Henry
Morel, for burglary on tbe plantation of
Mr. Carmichael, and was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary, having
plead guilty to the indictment. He
was sent to tbe camp near Au
gusta, where he was employed iu making
bricks, and was there for about three
months. He stated to the Mag
istrate that he was very badly
treated by the guard and had de
termined to escape tbe first opportunity,
and on Sunday, about six weeks ago, just
after roll call, the chance offered, and
he succeeded In getting away. A few miles
distance from the camp he found a file, and
60ou relieved himself of the chain attached
to his leg, and, reaching the Savannah
river, crossed to the South Carolina shore,
and made his wav down gradually until he
secured employment on some place oppo
site this city. Grant Is about twenty-five
years of age, and does not have the appear
ance of being a bad negro. He contends
that he was innocent of the crime for
which he was convicted.
Savannab’s Fire Service.
We find in the New York Mercury the
following letter from a Savannah correspon
dent in reference to our fire service, which
will be read with some interest. In regard
to the strictures on Chief Blair we can only
say that his administration throughout has
been indorsed by Council. The matter
complained of could be easily adjusted.
The correspondent says:
There have been many improvments In this
department since my last. The quarters of
the Bartows have been entirely remodeled,
and tbe doors now open on South Broad
street, while the stalls are near the engine.
There is also now an extra man. He re
ceives the same pay as the drivers, and is
supposed to do a little of everything. E xch
of the permanent men (except the engi
neers) are allowed two days off a month,
the extra man taking their places; but this
is arranged in such a peculiar manner that
the men very rarely take advantage of it.
The order from the Chief 6ays that on
their off days the men must report as
promptly as possible to any alarm that
may come in. This order strikes the aver
age observer as unjust. If the city pays
this extra man to relieve tbe other men,
upon what grounds does the Chief make it
obligatory on them to report to fires on the
day they are off? There is but one off at a
time, and his place is filled by a man whom
the Chief must consider competent, or else
why was the position created? Chief Blair
is generally disposed to act very fairly, but In
this instance he has clearly committed an
error, and one that he should acknowledge
and correct. We now have an extra
man, an extra engine and an extra horse.
What is now wanted is an extra hose
reel. At present all hose rsels respond
to an alarm. This leaves tb>* city, outside
of thßt position where the f.i : is, totally
unprotected, and is a matter that demands
the earnest attention of taxpayers. The
expense would be nominal, as tbe city can
get the old Marshall hose carriage for a
song. She is strongly built, the horse is
already owned, and a pole and harness is
all that Is needed. All that is necessary is
to call the attention of that old
veteran fireman and Chairmau of the
Fire Committee, Joe Roberts, to
this want, and the chances are he will see
it through. With this, our department will
be the most efficient in the South. The
floor of the Waver engine house Is a dis
grace, and they should have anew one at
once before the city has to pay a big bill for
injured horses. The annual parade on June
7th is creating & big excitement among the
boys, and promises to be the most brilliant
of any of the present department. The
Bartows propose to bring out two engines,
the ! r own and the reserve. The Washing
tons will come out with new hats and belts.
The Wavers have ordered a dozen new
brooms, as they say they will sweep the
track on the 7th. ‘There is many a 611p,’
etc.”
"a’Nsw Hall and School Building! ’
In the summer of 1875 considerable Inter
est was aroused by the discussion of plans
for a substantial building on the vacant lot
adjoining Chatham Academy. The Board
of Trustees of the Academy were announced
to be in favor of thus utilizing this valuable
lot, and, with the increase of school accom
modation, secure a commodious, handsome
hall for exhibition purposes, commence
ments, etc. There was general satis
faction expressed In the community,
and something definite was looked for. In
the Mobning’ News of September 21st,
1875, appeared an advertisement stating
that plans were solicited by the Trustees of
the Chatham Academy for a hall and school
building, to be erected on the grounds of
the Academy, and fronting on Hull street.
The bulldiug was to be two stories, 50x90
feet, with school rooms on the lower floor
and hall above. Such a building would an
swer all purposes,and would be a very valu
able acquisition to our educational system.
Flans were, according to this advertise
ment, to be submitted on or before Monday,
18th of October. Nearly six years have
elapsed since the agitation of the subject,
and the lot remains vacant. Why some
thing has not been done we cannot say, but
we trust that the trustees have not aban
doned the project, which received their cor
dial favor at that time.

The York town Centennial.
The Chatham Artillery is, so far as we are
Informed, the only company from Georgia
that will be represented at the Yorktown
Centennial in October next. This should
not be the ease. Georgia, as one of the Old
Thirteen, should be well represented. We
would like to see two companies at least
from Savannah.
The Georgia Legislature, which meets In
July, may be Induced to take such action
as will secure a good representation from
this Btate, similar to the course pursued by
the South Carolina Legislature, concerning
which the Charleston News and Courier
says:
“Under a resolution adopted at the recent
session of tbe Legislature arrangements
were made to have the State represented at
the Yorktown Centennial and $5,000 was
voted for the expenses of two hundred and
fifty men, from ten of the leading compa
nies of the State—each to send twenty-five
picked men. Charleston’s quota was fixed
at two companies by the Adjutant and In
spector General, and yesterday it was set
tled that the German Fusiliers, Captain
Scbachte, and the Washington Light Infan
try, Captain Bryan, would represent this
city. The Fusiliers ante date the war for
American Independence, the company hav
ing been organized on 3d May, 1775, at the
receipt of the news of the fight at Lexing
ton on April 19, of that vear, and It Is the
only survivor of a number of companies or
ganized at that early day.
“The W. L. I. have been prominent In the
observance of the Revolutionary Centen
nial*, escorting the Fusiliers, Capt. Mel
chers, on their 100th anniversary, May,
1875, attending the Bunker Hill Centennial
In June of that year, and Philadelphia on
4th July, 1876. These two undertakings
were done at a cost of over $5,000 to the
members of this corps. They also origi
nated and have recently completed the
Cowpens monument, so that there Is a good
reason for their being at Yorktown. They
have also the only revolutionary flag in tbe
hands of a volunteer corps In active use.
It is a post of honor to represent one of
the Old Thirteen at Yorktown, and the
other eight appointments from the State
will be looked for with interest.”

Something New Under the Sun.
Anew era is dawning upon woman. Hither
to she has been called upon to suffer the ills of
mankind and her own besides. The frequent
and distressing irregularities peculiar to her
sex have long been to her the “direful spring
of woes unnumbered.” In the mansion of the
rich and hovel of poverty alike, woman has
been the constant yet patient victim of a thou
sand ills unknown to man—and without a
remedy. “Oh, Lord, how long!” in the agony
of her soul, hath she cried. But now the hour
of her redemption is come. She will suffer no
more, for Bradfield’s Female Regulator, “Wo
man’s Best Friend,” is for sale by all druggists.

-AT THE

Tremendous Excitement to Secure
the Prize.
WE congratulate the lucky winner of the
KNABE PIANO. The instrument is a
perfect gem. For sympathetic, pure and rich
tone, combined with the greatest Singing and
Tone carrying capacity, all Knabe Pianos are
unexcelleu. Their lasting, durable qualities
are unrivaled, as the "Knabe" in the Screven
House parlor gives the most convincing proof.
To those who were disappointed in securing
the great prize we beg to say that we still have
a few “ Knabes ” left, and, although we cannot
sell them at “one dollar” apiece, we will make
Special Wholesale Rates lor the
Next Thirty Days.
Knabe & Cos. are Southern manufacturers
par excellence, of nearly dfty years existence,
and their instruments are specially adapted
for the Southern climate. It is only last week
we shipped another fine Knabe to an old resi
dent of Macon, who remembered both makers
and their agent “in the days of Auld Lang
Syne.”
All who want a first-class, honestly made and
durable instrument, which will not get "tin
pan v” with few years use, but retains its origi
nal sweetness, at Special Wholesale Rates,
