HAVERLT'S MINSTRELS.
Their Performance Before an Immense
Audience Last Night.
Haverly’s Mastodon Minstrels opened a
two night and matinee engagement at the
Theatre last night before an immense
audience. Every seat in the house was
taken —parquette, dress circle and bal
conies—and “standing room only” was
the announcement after 8 o’clock. The
programme was new in many features,
and was carried out to the letter. The
first part was repeatedly encored,
the vocalism and orchestral
accompaniments lieing of superior merit
and fully deserving of the applause
which f-.'"'ow. and each selection. I lie cho
ruses were well balanced, and the solo
ists among tb< ls-st known in the ranks
of minstrels). The eostumery through
out the entire performance a feature
in its. lf. and worthy of sjieeial mention.
The jokes were refreshingly new, and gave
vest buttons a severe test every time thev
wen "tired off.” The dosing of
the first part, a nautical finale, entitled
"Jav Gould’S Yacht,” was one of the
most laughable hits of the evening and
"nateral as life.” "Bobby” Newcomb
opened the olio with his protean and
terpsichorean specialty, and was followed
Uv George Powers in his masterly
isms. Seamon and Gerard, in their latest
specialty, "The Dudes,” were enthusi-
Mticallr applauded. "Billy” Richardson,
the “British Demosthenes,” made his
usual speech and was appreciated.
The concluding number of the pro
gramme was the extravaganza. Ihe
\incess of Ma.lagasca,’ which was in
mane'respects the finest feature of the
bill. The matinee will be at 2:30 o’clock
this afternoon, and those who attend will
be sure of a treat from some of the fore
most talent of the burlesque stage.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The Company’s Contract with tlic City
What the Light* should Be -The
Works to Be Examined.
There has been considerable talk about
the electric lights since the passage of the
resolutions bv the C ity Council at its last
meeting requiring the Gas ( ?) Committee
to report as to whether the company had
complied with its contract. The electric
light people, however, are in no wise
troubled about the matter, as they feel
confident that whatever defects there are
in the svstem can l>e remedied. One of
the directors of the company, now in New
York, writes that the officers of the Brush
Company in that city say that with the
number of lamps in use here the city
should be brilliantly illuminated, and they
propose to send out one ot' the best ex
perts to examine the works in Savannah.
Tic- gentleman referred to w rites very en
thusiastically about the electric lighting
business.

IHOPOSKI> UNION OF THE FIRE
and police departments.
The Advantage* of the l nion— Detail*
of the Plan— History of the Movement
View* of Insurance Men —What an
Ex-Chief Fireman Say*.
The proposed amalgamation of the Po
lice and Fire Departments and the vest
ment of the duties and authorities of
Chief Fireman in the Chief of Police, is a
matter of considerable discussion among
propertv-holders. The advantages am
disadvantages to result from the com
bining of the two departments are argued
bv those in favor of, or op(H,sed to. the pro
nosed plan. There seems to lie consider
able opposition to the plan on the part
of some insurance men. While ac
knowledging the want of greater effi
ciency in the department as it exists,
there is a doubt in the minds of many
that a combination with the police de
partment will effect this end.
THE PLAN OF UNION.
in order to obtain a knowl
edge of the details of
the proposed new system, a Morning
News reporter called upon ex-Cbief
Roberts, who stated in response to in
quiries that the plan referred to in yester
day’s issue was the work of a special
committee of (he Council of 1874-5, Gen.
G. M. Sorrel lieing Chairman, and it was
arranged and perfected after a most ex
haustive examination of the whole sub
i.-ct. “subsequently, being well satisfied
a* to its merits,” said Mr. Roberts,
“I brought it up again in the board
of 1882/ On both occasions a clear
majority of Council favored it, there
ln>in <r no question as to its practicability,
efficiency and economy,but in both eases
it was not carried into effect, for reasons
not necessary to specify, only to remark
that they had no relation whatever to the
merits of the plan.”
WHAT AN EX-CHIEF SAYS.
"The police and fire service being neces
sarily co-operative (the former bearing
to the latter relations similar to those ex
isting between the pickets and skirmish
ers and the artillery in a military organi
zation ), it is a natural sequence of these
existing relations to combine the two
under one head. To do this, involves no
radical change—it is simply proposed to
assign a certain numlier ot trained and
skillful men, having the legal anil moral
l>ower of policemen, to special duty with
the tire apparatus, and inasmuch as a
lar ,r e portion of these men’s time
would l*e idle, it is proi*osed to
utilize a fair proportion of this spare time
by employing them as roundsmen on the
police posts nearest their apparatus, leav
ing al wavs in quarters a sufficient ntiin
bers to 'put an engine into effective
operation at any moment. Each man,
knowing his place and duties as vvell as
the several men assigned to a piece of
artillery in action, it is easy to see that a
lew well trained men, properly directed,
will lie more effective than any number
handled and trained as at present ”
“What would lie the additional expense
to the city of such a change?”
“With a sub-officer to command this de
tachment, anil crediting the fire service
with the pay of its policemen, the addi
tional expenses to the not be one
dollar, and by combining the two it is
easv to secure for both a higher degree of
ability and talent than can be obtained
lor either if kept separate and for the rate
of pay at present assigned to each.”
“What would be the relation of the new
department to the present system?”
-The present volunteer organization
and the spare apparatus would l>e left
intact as a reserve" in case of need.
With this explanation the whole system
should he readily understood, anil its
relative effieieuev as compared to cost
must commend it to any reflecting mind.”
The plan of Mr. Rolnirts is to put en
gineers. drivers and tillermen under full
pav, and to detail eighteen competent men
for lire service—six men to each engine,
which, it is claimed, are all that can r>os
sil.lv lie utilized to advantage, leaving
the remainder of the fire department as it
exists, intact.
In regard to uniting the two depart
ments under one head, it is claimed that
there can l>o no more difficulty than in
placing infantry and artillery under the
same officer, and that instead of impair
ing. it will materially increase the effi
ciencv of the tire service.
WHAT INSURANCE MEN SAY.
In order to obtain an expression ot opin
ion from other sources, the reporter called
upon representatives of several insurance
companies. The subject was introduced
to ex-Alderman R. H. Feotman with the
remark that there was a movement to
consolidate the police and fire depart
ments. ,
“Yes, sir:” said Mr. Footman, “and 1
think it is a good idea. The matter w T as
talked of some years ago to me by Mr.
Joseph A. Roberts, who worked up tlie
details ol the plan, though I lielieve the
matter was first suggested by General
Sorrel.”
"Do you consider the scheme a practi
cal one?”
“There would be little or no trouble In
making the arrangement a success, pro
vided General Anderson, the Chief of Po
lice, would lie induced to undertake the
organization of it. His capabilities as an
organizer are simply wonderful, as were
illustrated during the war and have been
since. He is a strict disciplinarian, and
never fails to win the respect anil affec
tion or those who serve under him. The
idea, therefore, is generally approved, so
far as I can learn, by insurance men, but I
do not care to be mentioned as having ex
pressed an opinion upon the subject, as it
would look as though I am trying to influ
ence the action of some of the members of
the City Council, who will doubtless give
the subject caretul consideration.”
"Would the consolidation increase the
e\(H‘nse of the city government?”
“If you mean to ask whether the aggre
gate number of men in the police and fire
department would not lie increased by the
consolidation, and if the expense would
not l>e greater by the amount that would
have to lie paid on salary account, 1
should answer your question in
the affirmative. But what would the
additional expense amount to, compared
with the lienefits that would follow to
everv property holder in the city? He
might feel secure that in the event of a
tire his percentage of loss would be re
duced to a minimum. We insurance men,
however, have no special complaint to
make against the present organization,
for it lias done remarkably well, compared
with that in other cities, hut we think the
service could be greatly improved if it
were consolidated. I question whether
it would not be bad economy to
refuse to make the consolidation,
simply on the ground of
a little additional expense. I understand
that some property holders have com
plained that the paid firemen and the
volunteers ilo not at times render prompt
service, owing to the fact that there is
often a lack of harmony and a disregard
of responsibility and the rights of prop
erty. Firemen’have l>eeu seen fight
ing for advaueed positions with the hose
nozzles when they should have l>een
using the apparatus for the prompt subju
gation of the flames. If all the
firemen were in uniform and under
strict discipline, as they should lie, the or
ganization could be depended upon in
every emergency. The present organiza
tion is composed of excellent material.
Its members are an enthusiastic, hard
working and ambitious set of men, who
have rendered excellent sen ice on many
occasions, but they lack unity in organi
zation and purpose. Hence, I should like
to see the consolidation effected.”
WHAT AN EX-MAYOR SAYS.
In further interview with ex-Mayor
Wheaton, that gentleman stated that in
his opinion the departments should re
main as at present divided.
“If anv change is made,” he continued,
“let the Chief Fireman be made Fire
Marshal, and w ith the duties devolving
upon him in that capacity, his responsi
bility will be arduous enough. As to the
Chief of Police, his duties are sufficiently
onerous. In combining the two depart
ments the work of one must be in a meas
ure neglected in order that the work of
the other may be accomplished.”
“In event the efficiency of the fire de
partment is impaired what will be the
effect U|H>n insurance rates?”
“They will most certainly be increased.
The matter is one affeeting both insurance
men and |eitizens. Representing both of
these classes I am of the opinion that the
departments will render more efficient ser
vice in their present condition than under
one head.”
FURTHER OPPOSITION TO THE UNION.
Mr. E. T. Harden. Secretary or the
Board of Underwriters, was next called
upon. On lieing asked what he thought
of the proposed amalgamation he replied:
“The day that it is done the efficiency of
the fire department is seriously impaired.”
"In what respect?” inquired the re
porter.
“The duties and responsibilities of the
Chief of each department are now all that
they should be. When they are increased
the" work of one department will suffer.
In its surveillance of the Fire Department
the police service has a virtual control,
but there its powers should cease. The
executive of the Are service should be
vested in its own Chief. His attention to
the apparatus and the details and work
ings of the department, if conscientiously
devoted, w ill be sufficient responsibility,
and all that one man can well assume.”
"What effect will the amalgamation
have upon insurance?”
“It will increase the rates, because the
efficiency of the department will most
certainly le impaired. In doing this the
insurance men will look to their interests,
and will claim protection in higher pre
miums.”
Other insurance men have the same
views, and are rigidly opposed to any
combination of the two departments.
EX-CHIEF BLAIR’S OPINION.
FtXhief Engineer Francis Blair said
he was of the opinion that the consolida- j
tinn would lie unwise. The police and |
fire departments he t>elieved to le distinct
in their field of operations, and should
remain distinct or separate in organiza
tion, and be controlled each by a chief of
their own. , ...
• “The Chief of a police force,” he con
tinued, "inav be an engineer, and capable
of running a steam engine, but if he has
teen accustomed for many years to other
work, and should be suddenly called
to not onlv take charge of a force where a
number of engines are used, and most of
the engines of an improved pattern, he
should become acquainted with the
minutile of all the parts and lx: capable to
sav whether each of the parts is being
properly taken care of, in order to ensure
the perfect working ot the machinery at
all times and on a moment’s notice.
Ho should, in other words, be
not only a practical engineer, but an ex
perienced fireman, a man who can enter
a burning building and promptly locate a
fire. There is a young man, but an ex
perienced engineer and fireman, in the
citv who would make a good Cliiel for
the fire department. In fact there is no
one in the department that is better quali
fied for that office.”
-That may be true,” interrupted the
reporter, "hut could he control the men
under him?” , , , .
"I am very glad you have asked that
question,” ■said Mr. Blair. “That has
been one of the stumbling blocks in the
experience of everv Chief of the depart
ment. What is a chief for if his orders
are not respected and promptly obeyed ?
He is the acknowledged head of the ser
vice and is placed there by the City Coun
cil as such. But what has been the
ex(Xricnce of the chiefs? I will explain
it by introducing the following illustra
tion": A fire is under headway; the
chief orders a man holding the pipe to
direct the stream ol water from the
place where it is being thrown to another
portion of the building where it can be
of more service; the man refuses, and is
sustained in his opposition by the fore
man of the compatiy to which
he belongs. The Chief places the man
under arrest and should have the author
ity to suspend or discharge him. But the
insubordinate makes an appeal to the City
Council. He employs a lawyer to repre
sent him ltefore that body, and in about
two months time, probably, the action
of the Chief may be sustained. In
the meantime, however, the friends ot
the insubordinate take advantage ot the
issue, they go about the city and excite
a party spirit, and others take advantage
of it to make political capital. What is
the result? The fire department, instead
of being united in spirit, is practically
disorganized. Therefore, in answering
vour question is it not reasonable for me
io sav that his office—not the man merely
—should control the subordinate and
that the City Council should give the of
fice the strength and the force of authori
ty which the responsibilities attached to
it imply? Now, then, suppose General
Anderson should order one of his men, in
case of a riot, to do a certain thing and
that man should refuse and one of the
Sergeants sustain the subordinate in
his insubordination. What would
be the effect? The fact is,
and that is the trouble now, the fire de
partment is not organized as it should be.
It needs, as I have said, a practical man
at the head of it. 1 admit that General
Anderson is a superior organizer of police
and military forces, but he is not an en
gineer, a fireman or a mechanic.”
“What besides a Chief is required to
make the fire department complete in
organization,” asked the reporter.
“All the men should be paid,” said
Capt. Blair, “that is to say, the engineer
and fireman of each apparatus and the
driver, say four or eight men to each
steamer at least, should be well paid and
there should also be a number of what we
may term ‘call men’ who should be paid
about SIOO per annum. The regular
men should be on duty all the time.
The call men should be expected to he
on duty only in the event of a fire. There
should always be on hand for each appa
ratus a double supply of hose. Why, we
are far behind the age in lurmsnlng sup
plies lor the tire department. The rub
ber hose used here is too heavy and rots
too soon. There is a cotton hose being
manufactured which is light and more
durable, and costs less than rubber hose.
The hose carriages can make better time
with it in going to a fire, and it is lighter
to handle on a ladder or in a building.
The Fire Department should also have
its own tools and forges, and the engineer
of each engiue should tie expected to keep
his apparatus in repair, under the super
vision of the Chief. The first outlay for a
shop of this description might cost the
oitv a few hundred dollars, but if a com
petent Chief is selected a great saving
would be effected. Why, sir, don’t you
know that I have seen men about an en
gine house all day who did not pretend to
keep the axles of the machines greased
unless vou watched them and made them
doit?”"
"Hence, 1 say, place a practical engi
neer and an experienced fireman at the
head of the department. Give him a
salary of about $1,500, not more, and, at
least," not much less. Invest him with
authority that men may know must be
respected, and furnish good supplies ol
materials and tools, and stipulate that
the Chief shall give his whole time to the
service, and keep the regular full paid
men employed, and the city will have an
efficient, prompt' and superior fire depart
ment.
“What would such a department cosl
annually?” *
“I have estimated the cost at aliout $21,-
000, including the salaries paid the call
men.”
WHAT WILL BE DONE.
The matter will probably l>e brought
before the City Council at its next meet
ing, when some step will necessarily be
taken, owing to the resignation of the
present Chief Fireman, it is understood
that a petition will be presented by a
number of insurance men, recommending
the appointment of Mr. Adolph Fer
nandez. Whatever maybe the result of
the movement to consolidate it is at
present a matter of interesting discus
sion. It is believed that a majority of
the citizens favor the movement on the
ground of securing more efficient fire
service, and lienee better protection of
property. In conversation with Maj. Joint
Cunningham, who was a member of the
City Council some years ago when the
hrs’t proposition was made to unite the
torces. and who lias given considerable
attention to fire matters, and collected
much information in regard to the work
ings of a similar system to the one pro
posed in England and Scotland, especially
in small cities, he stated that he be
lieved the union of the two
would bring about a better system, capa
ble of more efficient service, at a cost not
greater than that of the present force.
This system, operated under police con
trol, is in vogue in interior English cities,
and its workings are highly satisfactory.

HOW THE GHOST AY AS CAPTURED.
The Material Spectre that Haunted the
Residence of a Wealthy Citizen.
Yesterday morning about 3 o’clock, Mr.
Waring Russell caught a suspicious
looking character entering the premises
of a wealthy citizen, and the circum
stances which led to the capture are said
to have been as follows:
During the past three or four months
the residence of the gentleman was se
curely locked every, night when the in
mates were retiring, but every morning
the rear doors were found unlocked,
and on several occasions wide
open. The matter assumed the nature of
a mvstery, and repeatedly foiled suc
cessive attempts to explain it. Whoever
entered the house and passed out neglect
ed to remove anything of value, and what
the object of the strange visitor was and
bow he gained an entrance to the residence
when the locks were repeatedly changed
were annoying questions. Tbe members
of the family became exceedingly
nervous, and their friends suggested
ghosts and other equally mysterious and
unwelcome intruders. The owner ot the
house finally called on Mr. Russell and
offered a liberal sunt if he would solve
the matter. . .
Mr. Russell said he would undertake
the task provided tlie owner would take
his family out of town and not return until
alter 8 o’clock the following day, the pro
prietor to make tbe fact of bis intended
visit from the city known to every person
in the neighborhood. The condition was
agreed to. Mr. Russell, with two detec
tives, that night early, w’ent through the
house, fastened every door and window,
and then looking tlie reardoor.and taking
the kev with him, secreted himself in an
out-house in the yard, after taking the
further precaution to sprinkle lime on the
ground near the rear doors.
Yesterday morning, at the hour
mentioned, a well-dressed young
uian opened the side gate lead
ing to the premises, ascended
the back steps, and then unlocking the
door passed into the house. The detec
tives a few minutes after, with the second
key, entered noiselessly and tracked the
intruder bv the footprints in lime in the
hallway and on the stairs to one of the
sleeping apartments, where they awaken
ed the young man, who had gone by this
time to sleep.
The youthful invader proved to be a son
of the "proprietor, who was in the habit of
stealing out of the house and then return
ing before daylight, but who, knowing
that his family was away, concluded not
to return until an hour or so before sun
rise.
The Colored Orphan Home.
The Board of Directors of the Colored
Orphan Society makes the following state
ment for the information of the persons
who have kindly aided in the efforts to
build a home for the orphan, and the gen
eral public may have some knowledge of
what the society has accomplished since
its organization:
The society has received since its or
ganization March 21, 1881. from all
sources, including annual dues of
members to October 1 • on
i if this amount, the society received—
From churches $ 86 00
From Sunday schools
From civic societies 70 5b
From Masonic lodges 20 00
Front entertainments ™
F’rom individuals • • • 293
From this amount the society has paid
for various purposes the sum of 008 bi
Among the itemsare the following, viz:
For incorporation * tx
For puhlicat ! ons,printing anti postage -8 <-
For expenses of making slabs and lay
ing cornerstone ““ JJ®
For labor of mechanics ...... ..5,7 Ma
For lumber, bricks, etc., for the Home. 389 oo
In addition to the above figures, it will
cost, according to the most caretul- esti
mate, about $3,000 to complete the build
ing sufficient for occupation. This
amount w’ill only admit of the cheapest
style of finish, and necessitate dispens
ing with many things in the way of
modern improvements that are very
necessary in a building to be used for
the purpose that this is". .When com
pared with the great benefit to the pub
lic which must accrue from the estab
lishment of an institution ot this kind in
our community,, the amount required is
a mere pittance. With the population of
the city of Savannah, 30,000 in number,
it would, if divided pro rata, amount to
only about 10 cents per capita.
The society has endeavored, as
far as possible, to go along
without incumbrances, going only so far
at a time as they could pay themselves
out. Recently we have been compelled to
deviate from this rule, and have, to some
extent, obligated the institution in order
to get the building enclosed and roofed,
and thereby protected from the weather.
The Board"submits the foregoing facts
and figures to those interested (and all
should be) to be considered and acted up
on. Let every one do something toward
helping on this undertaking. Believing
that the Father of the fatherless will give
success to this effort in his own time we
are yours in the work,

He Resented an Insult to His Wire.
Editor Miming Meics: Under the head
of “City News and Gossip,” in the Savan
nah Times of 30th inst., the local lias
made an appeal for the sympathies ol the
virtuous citizens in behalf of a much
abused sailor. I will give the facts,
which were given to the Times' local.
About 7:30 o’clock in the evening of the
29th my wife and a young lady went from
my house on the Bay to Mrs. Houlihan's,
on the Bay, near East Broad street, to get
some milk. On their return, in front of Mrs.
Wright’s Sailor Boarding House on the
Bay, they w T ereniet bv a burly sailor, who
caught hold of both, using obscenely in
sulting language, and refused to let go
when told so to do. My wife jerked away
from him, he tearing her clothes badly,
and took to the street, and the young lady
got free from him and they fled home, he
following. They came into my house iu
tears and told me the outrageous treat
ment they had received, and I at once
went out" on my steps, and a man came
from the direction ho had gone anti my
wife said: “That is the man.” I asked
him why he had insulted the ladies and
he replied by striking at me. 1 knocked
him down and beat him, using no weapons
but what nature has given me, and would
do it again under similar provocation.

you. Our assortment is immense and it
must be a hard customer indeed that we
cannot please. Our low-price system is a
bad one for our competitors, but a great
opportunity for you. We are offering the

That is why I throw out no luring bait to
catch “suckers.” My reputation is es
tablished. and it must be kept up. My
clothing is far superior to the general run
of “ready-made” goods, in style, make up,
cut and trimming. This is a well-knowrn
fact, however. The public can find on
my counters clothing that cannot be had
elsewhere in the city, except at merchant
tailors’. My hold is in having my suits
made to order, hence in buying from me
you run no risk of beholding a duplicate
of your suit on the first man you meet.
To be sure, I have nice suits in plenty at
prices as low as anybody else. My $lO
suit, for instance, is better value than you
can find elsewhere in the city. Besides
my specialtv of fine clothing 1 have stocks
of hats in all the latest styles, also shirts,
scarlet and white underwear, merino,
cotton and woolen half hose, neck wear,
cardigan jackets, umbrellas, etc. Just
received a large variety of gents , youths
and boys’ overcoats.
I merely ask you to walk through my
stock and examine it, as I am always
glad to show it. I guarantee my prices
as low as the lowest for same quality,
and solicit a call from all.

BE VANS. —Little Alice D.Bevaks, daugh
ter of G. E. and E. M. Bevans, departed this
life October 10, 1888. aged 2 years 11 months
and 10 days. This little one was stricken with
that dreadful disease, “diphtheria, and after
seven days intense suffering, her angel spirit
winged its way to Him who gave. She was the
light of her home, and was beloved by all who
knew her, for nature’s bouquet never fur
nished a more beautiful and perfect bua.
But, alas! she has faded away, though the
consolation of her parents is, * 1 hat little
children are guileless, and of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven.” She is a treasure laid
up in a better and brighter world; and the
gate thereof through which she has passed to
peace and jov everlasting, is left ajar for
them. ‘*The Lord gave and the I-ord bath
taken her away; blessed be His name.
Rest, little darling,
In the arms of Jesus!

— ' WOMAN.
Hope for Suffering Woman-.Some
tliing New Under the Sun.
By reason of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris
ing from the waiit of knowledge, or of con
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
Tlie frequent and distressing irregularities
peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated
to a degree which no language can express.
In the mansions of the rich and the hovel ol
the poor alike, woman has been the patient
victim ot ills unknown to man, and which
none hut she could endure—and without a
remedy. But now the hour of her redemption
has come. She need not suffer longer, when she
can find relief in Dr. J. Bradneld’s Female
Regulator. "Woman’s Best Friend.” Prepared
