Improvements in Savannah Property— j
What was Seen in a Walk Through the |
City.
A w alk through the city w ould surprise ;
any one who had not been in Savannah for I
a couple of years. Real estate during ,
that period has shown an upward move- (
incut, ami building lots have quadrupled !
in value. Notwithstanding the good price ;
of staple securities, investors appear to
have directed tlieir attention to real
estate. Some of the older houses have j
been enlarged and modernized, so to
speak, and a large number of new resi
dences have been erected and present a
very attractive appearance. There
lias been so much activity in
this line in Savannah. Those who
have the means evidently find it safe and
profitable to invest their money in this
direction, where it yields a steady and
regular income, though a percentage loss
than to place tlieir funds into stocks and
like securities, which sometimes shrink in
a dav. The larger number of new houses
have been erected in the southern portion
of the city, but the demand for an addi
tional number continues. Hence the call
for more street crossings and other con
veniences is likely to be heard from time
to time by {he Committee on Streets and
Lanes of the City Council.

A Blaze oß~Harris I « H , ,u,t r e,l
and Fifty Dollar
Yesterday afternoon, shortly ,** cu?r 1
o’clock, flames were seen issuing from
the second story ot a frame house owned
by Mr. Frank Walsh, on Harris street, a
few doors west of West Broad street. The
doors communicating with the floor where
the tire was were locked, and the holder
of the key was absent, hence the tenants
on the lower floor did nothing toward
extinguishing tlie flames when
they were discovered. but suc
ceeded, however, in removing nearly
all their household effects. Meanwhile,
an alarm sounded from box No. '23 called
the lire department promptly to the
scene, and though a high wind was blow
ing anil all the adjoining buildings are of
wood, the fire was confined to the struc
ture in which it orignated, and
only the roof of the house and the upper
portion of the building were burned.
Sane furniture and bedding were also
lost. The loss will not exceed s'2so. There
was no insurance. The lire department
is generally commended for the skill ex
hibited in the management of the flames.
What is Diphtheria?
The name is comparatively new. but the
disease is as old as sin itself. It is a condi
tion of the throat something like croup.
* only worse, because it attacks the suttercr
with such rapidity, and in such away as
to stop the air passages. The throat is vio
lently inflamed, and a tough membrane,
like leather, is very rapidly formed. Perry
Davis’ Pain Killer lias cured thousands
of cases of diphtheria. It acts so prompt
ly and so efficiently, that ho family can
afford to be without it.
THE DEPARTED GOVERNOR.
Intelligence of His Death at Midnight—
How the Solemn News will he Re
ceived To-day. ,
The anxiety that has existed in the city
during the late illness of Governor Ste
phens. spoke plainer than words of the
place he held in the hearts of the peo
ple. There were many inquirers at the
Morning ’ A’ews office last night,
asking the latest reports of the
Governor’s condition. Up to 10
o’clock it was unchanged. The intelli
gence of his death at midnight was flashed
over the wires at 2 o’clock this morning,
and will be read with unfeigned sorrow
by thousands as the paper appears to-day.
The late hour precludes the announcement
of special services in the churches,
but the death of the beloved Governor
will, we are assured, find tit expression
in the prayers that are uttered from the
sacred desk.
In view of the solemn occasion, it is
fitting that the city buildings be draped
in mourning, and appropriate action lie
taken to ruanilest the sorrow of the com
munity.

Some Facts About March.
March has begun and stands in the lace
of Professor Wiggins’ prophecy of a great
! storm from the 9th to i ufi instants. There
I is ail old saying that “March comes in
I like a lamb and goes out like a lion,” The
j first part of the saying is already fulfilled
i in the South, but in the North it was
• begun with a face as sullen as if winter
were too good a friend to lose. The sun
will enter Aries on the 20th, at 5:45 p. in.,
(the vernal equinox), when spring will
i really begin. Mr. Yeunor says March
vs ill probably enter quietly in the majori
ty of sections, but will speedily give place
til jfs usual fluster and storm. There
1 -" ill. Utt aays. be a great deal of rain with

spring, with unusually wai... ”°Hods,J>Ht
threatens wintry weather at the fir*. ~r
April.
March was the first mouth ijj the early
Roman calendar, and it also marked ike
commencement of tlie year among some
' of the Latin Christian nations until the
eighteenth venture. The English legal
vear began March 25th until the change
! of style in 1752. There is an old English
and Scottish proverb that “March bor
rows three davs of April and they are all
ill." It is disputed whether these "bor
rowing davs” were the last three in
March or tlie first three in April. Dr.
! Jamieson explains that when they were
i stormv March wag sajd to borrow them
from April that he might extend his
power. The greatest significance that
the first day lias in the city, however, it
that the collector will he around with
that "little bill, you know,” and must be
: told when to “call again.”

GILBTLRT AND SEE 1.1 FAN’S NEXT.
No Nciv ffpera this Year —The Right of
“lolaiithe”—Socialism as a Theme.
Mr. D'Oylev Carte arrived from Lon
don last week. It is his business to put
on the stage the operas written by Gilbert
ami Sulliv an, and he has a contract which
gives him the handling of all they may
turn out in that line during the next five
years. However, it is unlikely that there
will be a new Gilbert and Sullivan ojiera
for next season.
"It is not true that Mr. Sullivan has de
clined to compose any more for comic
opera.” said Mr. Carte: "he has already
got together a number of things for the
next piece contemplated. But it is set
tled pretty definitely that Tolanthe’ will
run another season in London. In that
ease no new opera will be needed there,
and it would not pay to make one for the
American market aione. While ‘lolanthe’
was much less successful here than -Pina
fore" and ‘Patience,’ its success on the
other side is greater than the success of
any of its predecessors.”
Mr. Carte claimed the exclusive right
to perform the ojiera "lolanthe," which
will be presented in Savannah next week
—Monday and Tuesday evenings—in this
country, by virtue of his possession of the
comjKiser’s unpublished orchestral score.
The principle involved would extend,
however, to the case of any uncopyrighted
dramatic or musical work. A Boston
court ruled in his favor, but a Baltimore
court’s decision in the case presented by
Air. Chas. E. Ford, is in effect that the
authorized publication of the libretto and
of the music of the opera, arranged for
the piano, was a dedication of liotti to the
public, and was inconsistent with any
such exclusive right as was asserted by
Mr. Carte, it being admitted that from the
published piano forte and vocal score any
competent musician could by liis own
skill arrange the music for an orchestra
or band.
The theme of socialism is likely to be
treated by Gilbert and Sullivan in their
next opera, unless something better
should l>e hit upon before it becomes
necessary to set about the work in
earnest. *
THE NEW COMET.
Where to I.ook for It—A Probable Bril
liant Display—East Year’s Visitor Still
Visible.
A Baltimore astronomer has been study
ing the new comet discovered by Protessor
Swift from the Warner Observatory last
week, and has obtained satisfactory ob
servations. Its astronomical position has
been approximately noted in right ascen
sion 23 hours and 38 minutes and declina
tion north 28 degrees and 30 minutes. The
position is northwest by west, and near
the horizon just after twilight. The cen
tral condensation of the comet was almost
stella, and it was surrounded by a large
mass of haze. The tail was about thirty
minutes long, but very faint. The comet
is very bright in the telescope, and on a
dark sky, away from the twilight, could
be seen by the naked eye. Its mo
tion since its discovery has been east
ward 11 degrees and northward
W degrees, a probable indication that it
has been around the sun and is going off
into space. One may, therefore, get a
nearer view as it passes the earth, but if
it is still on its way toward the sun, there
will probably lie more brilliant display.
More observation is needed before any
thing definite can be said. The gentlemen
engaged in making the observation have
also been watching the course of the large
comet of last autumn, which is stiil visi
ble in the telescope. It was seen almost
due south, at an elevation of about 35 de
grees above the horizon, appearing as a
faint brush of light in the heavens.
THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
Tlie Movement to Increase Its Facilities
—A Commendable Effort.
•
A commendable interest is being mani
fested in the Military Academy, and tlie
efforts suggested to promote . its facili
ties are meeting with tlie indorsement of
tlie leading citizens and educationalists
of Savannah. At the meeting held on the
24th instant the initial steps were
taken toward extending the advan
tages of the school and securing
its incorporation under the State laws.
Committees were appointed to consider
the means of best securing these ends,
During the past week efforts have been
made to secure a suitable site
for the proposed new buildings, and
the committee already have in view
several desirable locations, The
unlooked-for tint deserving success of the
school and its increase in number of stu
dents are evidences of the ability of its
faculty and a prophecy ot what would be
if there were sufficient facilities tor the
accommodation of pupils. A meeting of
the committee was held yesterday and a
public meeting will be held at the
Academy building to-morrow night at 8
o’clock, when there will be addresses by
prominent citizens, and further steps will
be taken to forward the movement and
secure needed advantages to the school.

Ireland’s Glorious Patriot-.
The Sarstield Social Club will celebrate
the anniversary of the birth of Ireland’s
glorious patriot, Robert Emmet, to-mor
j'ow, instead of to-day ( being Sunday).
This celebrated, leader ol the United
Irishmen in their efforts to throw off the
British rule, in his devotion to his coun
try and through his trial and execution
became endeared to the people as a pa
triot, and his memory is revered to day
by the Irish people throughout the world.
The only living descendant of Emmet
born in Ireland', Miss Margaret Emmet,
daughter of Tlimnus Addis Emmet and
niece of the inlnjoftal Robert, died in New
York on Thursday at the age of ninety
years. The member's of the club will as

Out of Work—How tlie Genteel Young
Mau Earns a Living.
AVhi!*' there is a demand for
workmen of all kAids—while masons,
bricklayers, blacksmiths and carpenters
have their bauds full, an advertisement
for “a clerk” or “an accountant” will
cause consternation in the counting room
and keep you answering the appeals of
applicants from morning till the office
doors are closed at night, and then the
evening piail will bring another dose of
touching appeals, aIU in the same lan
guage—highly educated, competent, will
ing, etc!, but out of work and willing to
labor for almost anything. We had this
pretty thoroughly demonstrated a short
time ago when a" gentleman inserted the
following innocent looking local:
Wanted at once, for general office, a ready
jienman, male or female. None but competent
persons need applv. Addres- A. Morning
News office.
If we had known what tVuits those four
lines would bring forth we should have
charged a dollar a line, and then lost
money. Uver forty applications were
made’ for that place, and an additional
number were received. Perhaps one
third were ladies—some were girls and
others old maids—and all told the same
story or wrote in the same strain. If any
business man doubts these assertions, he
has only to advertise for junior clerk or
copyist, time-keeper, night porter, or any
employe of the untrained sort. He will
be overwhelmed with letters. Some of
them will be couched in Addisonian
phraseology, betraying evidences of high
culture t and considerable mental
power. Others will be pathetic
appeals for a trial, concluding
with assurances of a life long devotion if
engaged. Others will be recitals of a
struggle for bread powerful enough to
equal anything found in fiction. But if
the advertiser wishes to know the darker
depths in which many of the unclassed
dwell, he will receive the applicants
in person. The veil which hides the
obscure movements of society will then be
lifted, and the spectator will be amazed
at what he sees and hears. What waste
of life, what corrosion of energy, what
desperate tragedies! Too proud or too
lazy to take a jack plane, a pick or
printers’ stick in hand, they are slowly
starving to death, or living on richer
relatives. When a soft job is advertised
they all jump at it like a big buss
does at a fat dobson, only to find that
the place has already been filled and
their case is hopeless. We were pained
to see so many intelligent appearing
young men applying for the position of a
clerk or copyist, when the trades lack just
such men. And yet, wasting words try
ing to point out to them the error of their
ways is as useless as it is trying to argue
a mother-in-law out of the idea that she
don’t know how to manage a house. They
will mechanically tell you that they re
gret the fact, are sorry they did not learn
some trade, bemoan their hard lot and ill
luck, but that is all. They do not attempt
to better their position by’pulling off their
coats and going in up to their elbows—
no, that is not high toned enough for them.
They prefer to be clerks, copyists and
gentlemen of leisure, and if you see them
three years from now you’ll find them in
exactly the same condition—out of work.
Court ot Ordinary—Habeas Corpus.
Mr. J. T,.Brenuen, of Bulloch county,
sued out a State’s writ of habeas corpus
against Mr, Richard A, Pollard, of this
city, made returnable before the Ordinary
of Chatham county, and a hearing upon
the same was had yesterday. The writ
was for tlie purpose of obtaining the cus
tody and control of Ida Eugenia Pollard,
aged thirteen, a daughter of Richard A.
Pollard. Upon an investigation into the
facts and the law applicable thereto, the
Ordinary remanded the child to the
custody of the parent. The facts per
taining to this case are substantially as.
follows: On the 18th of January, 1877,
Mr. Pollard bound out two of hisehiidren
to the Protestant Episcopal Orphans’
Home, he to provide for their board and
clothing, The children remained at the
Home until some time in December, 1879,
when the authorities of that institution,
without apprising Mr, Pollard of their in
tention. apprenticed the children to Mr.
Brennen, of Bulloch county, under the
terms of tlieir charter. Both children re
mained with Mr. Brennen until some
time in May 1882, when that gentleman'
came on a visit to Savannah, bringing tlie
youngest of the children, Ida, with him.
By some means the child had an inter
view with her father, who took possession
of her and refused to deliver
her up, alleging that the chil
dren had not been properly treated,
and that the Home had no right to ap
prentice them. The elder daughter is
still with Mr, Brennen, the subject matter
of tlie writ heard yesterday being only for
the possession of Ida Eugenia Pollard.
The Ordinary remanded the child to the
control of the parent, principally ou ac
count of the fact that, as he was to board
and clothe his children at the Home, he
should have been notified of the intention
of the authority thereof to apprentice
them, and also because the Home had ap
prenticed the children beyond the limits of
the county, as well as the jurisdiction of
the Ordinary.

Many of the principal dressmakers have

row puffing, instead of the ordinary
pelisse, and in velvet especially this Seems
preferred. Many skirts, particularly
those of handsome materials, have the
edges arranged in several “plfs d’orgue"

plain spaces, these frequently covered l»v

With, a tFain, CUivrees, double row s of
uoquiUe ruches, and shell plaitings placed
one above the other are all equally fash
ionable modes of decorating tlie bottom ot
the skirt. In the last mentioned trimming
the shell plaiting placed nearest the foot
of the skirt has its lower edge turned up
on the right side and “bliud-stiched”
down. The upp*» shell plaiting is fringed
on each edge and caught up to sfiow just
half of the lower plaiting.

FASHION WRINKLES.
Scotch ginghams arc largely ini|»«rte<L
Lorn blue is* a favorite color for new
dress woolens.
Jagged, ragged-edged flounces and rib
bons are comint: in vogue.
Irregular points, called cocks' combs,
edge the new Ottoman ribbons.
Ivory w hite crape, richly embroidered,
gives a splendid style of dress decoration.
Basques and bodices, with very sharp
and long points back and front.*will be
much worn.
Ottoman silk is exquisitely soft. It
combines effectively with spauish lace and
embroidered gauze.
Cloth for pelisses is seen among new
spring goods, w ith rough finish m the new
shade of corn blue.
As many as six different colors appear
In some of the new Ottoman ribbon cocks'
combs corsage bows.
A costume of the “Oriana" model is
ver\ elegant, disposed in dark rubv plush
and Ottoman silk of the same shade.
New cotton dress goods exhibit greater
variety iu colors and designs than ever,
while the finish is simply admirable.
Jetted lace overdresses are magnificent,
producing a striking effect when worn
over ruby or amber-tinted satin.
the * ••Lenox'* jacket is designed for
spring wear. It is rather tight-tittiug,
double-breasted, rolling collars, and large
patch pockets.
New brocaded Ottoman silks have for
designs sprays of flowers with their fruits,
strawberries, blackberries, plums, pears,
apples and Mandarin oranges.
The spring tweeds are very attractive.
The large checks are preferred. The
shades are diversified, including the
darkest and the palest: also medium hues
are given.
Fichus of India muslin are simple in
style, yet they are very effective, and are
generally becoming to ladies of every
type of beauty. This fashion of fichu is
bordered with* g>xxi lace of some mode of
manufacture.
The latest novelty in grand dinner toil
ets for this season is red velvet, black
silk hose, and black satin boots with
small jetted buttons. The costume is
made witli court train, bodice with open
neck a Y shape.
There are startling novelties in the
manufacture of buttons for next season.
One pattern shows carved wood, giving
an artistic finish to the edge. Another
design is grotesque heads of animals in
bronze, silver and jet.
Printed India pongees of light weight
appear in the new colors for grounds,
with harmonizing tints in the designs,
which are in a variety of large and small
flawers. fruit, Oriental and kaleidoscope
patterns and a variety of polka dot effect.
Woven silk draperies are brought out
for early spring wear. This style of gar
niture is called “Newport scarf.” It
comes three yards long; it is fringed at
the ends and on the sides. This is a
pretty and graceful accessory to a simple
toilet. ,
Corsage bouquets are very fashionable.
They are worn quite large, and are
placed at the belt on the left side, midway
the bust and throat. The favorite flowers
are roses and chrysanthemums of differ
ent shades, principally from the deepest
pink to the palest yellow.
Evening waists are still fashionable.
They are chiefly made ot silk, trimmed
with lace, and painted with either water
or oil colors. “If you use oil colors it is
an excellent plan to squeeze them from
the tubes upon the blotting paper the
night before using. This absorbs the oil
and there is less danger of the silk being
spotted.”
Society girls have little flat sachets of
siik or satin, delicately scented and dec
orated with a bit of their own hand paint
ing, either floral or comical. These they
suspend from the waist by a knot and ends
of narrow ribbon. Into this case they
slip the card on which is printed the order
oi dancing. Down the back of the case
are fastened small loops of ribbon, which
serve to hold a tiny pencil.
Demo rent for March says: “There are
three shades of olive, which color, being
set in the minor key, suits blondes equally
with brunettes transparent oi complexion.
It w ould be an error in art to set a pale
face in a frame of saddest olive. On the
other hand, cheeks under whose delicate
skin the red blood comes and goes, each
coming ami going to be clearly marked,
gain ineffably from the contrast. There
is a‘golden olive,* w hich only brunettes
may wear, and they must not by any
means let disappointment or anything else
teed on their damask cheek, or, if they do,
they must w r ear peacock blue or a warm
seal brown, not golden olive.”
High, square shoulders are now con
sidered almost indispensable to beauty;
but no lady, unless she be deformed, can
anywhere nearly fill the demand of fash
ion in this particular. Dressmakers,
then, have resource to pads, and the out
come of it all is that any lady who will
continue to be disfigured in this manner
becomes a padded lay figure in appear
ance. Gone is the grace and suppleness
that is so attractive in a woman, and in
their place is stiffness and a made,up look
that should be avoided at any cost. Every
true woman feels it incumbent on herself
to be as attractive and as beautiful as
possible, almost a duty. But high, sqnare
shoulders and padded figures are not
beautiful, and the fashion should be rele
gated to men who have long aimed at that
affectation, and their stilt' appearance
should discourage women from attempt
ing the truly masculine.
Remember This.
If you are sick Hop Bitters will surely
aid Nature in making you well w hen all
else fails.
If you are costive or dyspeptic, or are
suffering from any other of the numerous
diseases of the stomach or bowels, it is

Is the Value of Ticket No. 57,012 in the
Louisiana State Lottery, Held by
Charles Kigney, .Jr., and Mrs. Jack
It urns.
Last Thursday the air tyqg actually
alive with startling rumors of Louisiana
Lottery lightning, Uaejcould hear of its
striking all around, but to find the dam
aged (?) parties defied reportorial skill
and pertinacity for no little while. It was
at length definitely ascertained that
ticket No. 57,012, held equally between
Charles Kigney and Mrs. Henrietta
Burns, of Maysville, in this countv. had
drawn sls,ooo—Mrs. Burns, the wife of
Mr. Jack Burns, was a Miss Daniels,
sister of Mrs. Kerry L. Harrison and Maj!
,J. M. Daniels, and a most worthy lady.
Young Itigney is a Sober, steady arid
hard working boy. the son of Mr. Charles
Kigney, a well known citizen of this
county.
Mr. Kigney, ignorant of his good fortune,
was stopped the morning after the draw
ing. on the 13th inst., iq front of the Hunts
ville Hotel by a friend, who said:
“Charley, ticket No. 57,012 drew $15.-
000, ,
Kigney, w ithout a trace of excitement,
replied, "that's my number exactlv » pull
ing out his ticket ; yes, sir. that’s mv
number.” His friend congratulated him
heartily, and suggested that it was the
time of all times for champagne. Rut
Charles, observing that such extravagance
was both foreign to his taste and beyond
his means, proceeded quietlv to the popu
utr qdnk of Y . It. Kison Co,, and de.
posited his ticket for collection.
Our reporter saw Mr. Kigney this morn
ing, He informed him that the $15,000
had been promptly paid and was now de
posited In bank. lie said this was his
first lottery ticket; that he saw the Lou
isiana State Lottery advertised and
tiionght he would invest a little and try
his luck.
It has been generally rumored tyat ifj
the same draw ing a well known young
lawyer and police got the best of the

] A Boronutlc Ragged *2 Bunk Bill.
Many different stories are told about the
prize which Underwood, Fisher of the
Three Rivers House, drew- in the Louisi
; ana State lottery. He stated the facts
thus: December 12th he sent $2, and re
ceived in return two-tenths ticket No.
31,401. He put the ticket away, and
thought no more of it until three days as
: ter the drawing, when he received a dis
patch saving that his ticket had drawn
$20,000. his share of which wa9 $4,000.
Front M. A. Dauphin, President of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company, New
Orleans, [through the' First National
Bank, he received his $4,000. Lit
tle things make quite a difference. He
had as 2 bill ragged, and he sent it for a
ticket. The moral is, that you send for
lottery tickets when you get a'ragged two
dollar bill.— From the Three Hirers ( Mich. )
