AMUSEMENTS.
••Ths Hanlons" Close Their Engage
lnsDt— Joe Jefferson To-Night The
Next Attraction.
The lianion Bros, closed their engage
ment in Savannah before a fair audience
last night. Their performances are lull
ot excellence, and those who see them are
satisfied.
To-night Joseph Jefferson will begin a
two-night and matinee engagement, in
‘•The Rivals.” Jefferson’s tame is a rec
ommend that will secure large houses
anywhere, and the sale of seats indicates
that his present engagement will be a
successful one.
The next attraction will be “Our Gob
lins." The company is an excellent one,
and is well indorsed:
"None other than creditable artists
could give such an excellent entertain
ment under the discouraging circum
stances at the appearance of Rice’s Pleas
ure Party. The weather, under foot and
over head, the worst in the history of this
latitude, prevented all except the most
daring from venturing, and only a fair
house greeted them. Nevertheless every
feature in the entertainment was faith
fully carried out. and with a spirit un
dampened by the drawbacks attend
ing. The "play is just what it
is "advertised—a musical extravaganza,
a pot-pourri of fun and good singing, and
every minute is filled in w ith something
entertaining. The tun is pure, and noth
ing inelegant appears to detract from the
pleasure of ths performance. The audi
ence present last night gave evidence of
their appreciation by enthusiastic ap
plause and frequent encores. “Our Gob
lins” will be presented again to-night, and
they deset ve a full house, which they will
no doubt get. Those who go will find an
elegant and enjoyable entertainment.” —

Col. John S. Candler, of the late Gov.
Stephens’ staff, and now a rising young

o’clock on Wednesday night. The bridal
couple, accompanied by Messrs. J. T.

breakfast’ with Col. Wm. M. Sneed
at the Screven House, and a drive to
Bonaventtire anil Thunderbolt, returned
to the city and took the 10 o’clock

The Cadets’ Squad Brill.
Tho Savannah Cadets, divided into two
squads of fifteen men each, including their
commanding officer, will have a competi
tive drill at their armory to-night. The
drill will include the evolutions which
were shown at Nashville by the winning
company tn the prize drill last year, but
for the first time to be exhibited here to
night. As the room where the drill is to
take place is comparatively circumscribed
bv columns, which interfere with the
Wheeling ot the squads, only a limited
numb.-r of guests, with their ladies, will
be present on invitations issued by the
company. The exercises will be followed
by a hop.
The German Aid Society Hall.
The ball gften under the auspices of the
Ladies’ German Aid Society, at St. An
drew’s Hail last night, was a very pleas
ant and enjoyable affair. A large number
of the friends of the society ami others
contributing to its efforts were present.
The floor was tilled with dancers early in
the evening, and the amusement was con
tinued until a late hour. A handsome
supper was served, and the ladies of the
society may well be satisfied with the re
sults ot their efforts.

GOING BACK ItOOkD TIME.
How the Proposed Change by the City
Council is Lookeci Upon-lts Action
Deemed Hasty and Unwise— Complica
tions to Arise with Two Standards in
Existence.
A variety of opinion exists in reference
to the action of the City Council iu repeal
ing the resolution by which the standard
tune was adopted. M hile the action was
anticipated by a few, ffie majority of citi
zens were, it seems, unaware that any
such move was contemplated, and the
announcement in thj Morning News
yesterday that the city clocks would be
set forward on Saturdty to the old time
was naturally a surpr so.
In order to obtain, an far as possible, an
expression of opinion in regard to the
change back, a reporter called upon the
leading merchants of ’he city, and at the
banks and public offices yesterday. The
general opinion seetned to be that the ac
tion of the Council wan hasty and prema
ture The new time hud not been given a
fair trial and a sufficient test to show
whether it would prove aaturactory or
not. A confusion would
follow anv change of established
time, but this confusion was but tem
porary and, so far as could be learned,
was almost entirely tlone away with,
except in the refusal ct some firms and
employers to recognize the new time,
thus causing an embarrassment in regu
lating their nusiness affairs with those of
firms and employers using it. Among
contractors and " men employing large
numbers of hands the old time seems to
have been more satisfactory than the
new. but among the majority of business
people the change back is deemed an un
wise move. .
The banks adopted the new time shortly
alter It was recognized by the city in or
der to accommodate their patrons, and
will probably accept whatever change is
made bv the business men and houses,
and will regulate their clocks in accord
ance. Nothing, however, has yet been
done, as the mutter will necessarily
t>e acted upon and any change will have
tn be authorized by the directors. The
hotels, post office, express and railroad
offices will in any event retain the present
standard. The courts, which have never
recognized the standard, will hold to the
old time and also the l nited States Gov
ernment offices.
Among the leading mediants and large*
business houses the present system is
regarded satisfactory, and the change,
they claim, will result in serious incon
venience to them. Their time now cor
responds with post office and railroad
time, and is recognized l*v their custom
ers and employes. Standard time has
almost universally been adopted by citi
zens in their homes and by the working
people, and a change will result in inoon
vemenee in keeping one time for market
hours and shopping and another time for
dinner or meals to correspond with the
time in use at the offices and places ot
business or shops, as the c*ase may be.
ltt event the business jottses go hack
to the old time, which will be done unless
the citv decides to retain the present
standard, the Cotton Exchange and Board
of Trade w ill probably follow suit. The
answer in nearly every place to the in
quiry as to what was thought of the ac
tum of Council was. in substance, that it
was considered unwise. One gentleman,
a prominent Bay street merchant, who
was vigorously opposetl to the new stan
dard at the time it was adopted, said:
“I was opposetl to any change
at the outset. 1 failed to see
anv benefit to be derived front
a change, but, now that it has been made,
1 am in favor of maintaining .the new
standard. Ido not believe it awise move
on the part of the city to go back now.
This change will create a disastrous con
fusion, and. with two standards recog
nized, serious complications will arise.”
"There were really two standards be
fore the new time was adopted,” re
marked the reporter, “since Central Rail
road time differed from city time.”
“Yes: but the time recognized by all
business men in the city was sun
time. Now the hotels anti post
office and express office, and a
large number of business houses,
will use one standard and the rest of the
city will be run by another. There was
little or no difficulty then, but now. un
less there is a uniform time, there will 1?
difficulty.
The reporter called at the telegraph
offices. There the same trouble will arise
again that existed after the new standard
was adopted by the companies and before
it was adopted by the city. The filing of
telegrams, it was stated, caused no little
misunderstanding then, and there will be
the same difficulty and annoyance after
Saturday that existed during the time in
tervening between the adoption of the
standard by the company and its adoption
by the city.
"Capt. R. G. Fleming. Superintendent
of the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, on being asked what lie thought
of the action of the Council, replied that
the paragraph which appeared a few days
ago in the Morning News to the effect
that the question of a return to the old
time would be brought to the attention of
Council, partly prepared him to antici
pate a discussion cl the subject
bv the Aldermen: but he was
not expecting that they would place Sa
vannah. a progressive citv. alongside with
one town in the State of Maine, which of
all the municipal corporations in the
countrv had alone refused to recognize
standard time. He said the return to the
old time must, however, have been deter
mined upon after careful consideration
of the interests of the citizens, but
that the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway would adbeft to
the new standard; that since the
adoption ot that time by the company
all the employes had commenced work at
6::?Q in the morning, and t nat he had heard
of no complaints of any kind, and he be
lieved none would be made. He was at a
loss to understand why employers could
not obtain as much labor from their em
ployes under the new standard as under
the’old. and that after reading the Morn
ing News’ report of the proceedings of
Council, he was not only surprised, but
with due deference to the feelings and in
telligence of the Board of Alnermen, he
was greatly disappointed at their action.
"It is very easy." said Capt. Fleming,
“to resolve "that "time shall lv regulated
either by the new or the old standard,
but it is’not so easy to satisfy the travel
ing public with conflicting standards.
The Board of Aldermen is composed of
business men. but their legislation on the
time standard is not in consonance with
the spirit of the age."
THE HUSSARS IN ARMS.
Their Drill and Inspection Last Night-
Prizes in the Sabre Contest.
In pursuance of general order No. 29
the Georgia Hussars assembled at 7:30
o’clock last night at Masonic Temple,
where they were inspected by the Lieu
tenants under the instruction of Capt.
W. W. Gordon.
The drill of the troop followed, after
which 23 contestants, composed of those
members who had never taken a prize in
sword exercise, were drawn up in three
linos across the hall, with ex-Lieuts. Wm.
F. Preston. S. P. Goodwin and C. M. Cun
ningham acting as judges.
The first prize was awarded to private
B. Hunter, the second to Corporal A. R.
Lawton. Jr., and the third prize to Cor
poral Beirnt) Gordon.
In the next contest, open to members of
the entire troop, .wenty-five members of
the command participated. The prize
for excellence in sabre exercise was
awarded to Private Abram Minis. Hon.
P. W. Meldrim. a member of the Hussars,
was delegated to make the presentation
addresses to tho successful contestants,
and highlv complimented the winners of
the honors ot the occasion in a brief but
eloquent speech. His remarks to Corpo
ral Beirne Gordon were especially
impressive and appropriate, and were
enthusiastically applauded by the com
mand as well as by the large assemblage
of invited guests.
Upon the conclusion of the presentation
addresses the troop vas dismissed,
when the floor was cleared, and the
members and their lady friends indulged
in the pleasures of a hop until a reason
able hour, when the company dispersed.

THE DRUMMERS’ TAX” FIXED.
The Amended Ordinance Passed by
Council, and the Tax Fixed at *lO a
Week—An Attempt to Stout Out a "New
Time” Petition—A Protest Against the
Proposed Change Tabled by the Mayor
—Fixing the Liquor License*.
The "Drummers’ Tax” question was
disposed of by the City Council last night
in the passage of the amended ordinance
reported Dy the Finance Committee on
Wednesday night, fixing the license at
$lO per week.
The matter was made a special order
for last night. It was pretty generally
understood that the ordinance would be
passed as amended by the committee, and
very little interest wa9 manifested, only
one or two visitors being present in the
Long Room. ... ...
The Council remained in caucus until
after 9 o’clock, when the doors of the May
or’s room were thrown open and the reg
ular session was called.
The amended ordinance was read and
immediately put upon its passage and be
came a law.
This matter being disposed of the ordi
nance introduced hv Alderman Derst on
Wednesday night, fixing the tax of liquor
dealers, was taken up and passed to a
second reading. Before being put upon
its passage Alderman O’Connor moved as
an amendment a substitute fixing the tax
upon all wholesale or wholesale and re
tail dealers ut S2OO, and upon all
retail dealers north of Anderson street,
west of the BiH>o Canal and east ot Mus
grove Creek, $125, and for all retail deal
ers outside of these defined limits and
within the jurisdictional limits of the
city. $.50. The yeas and nays were called
upon the amendment. The vote was a tie,
the Mayor casting the deciding vote in
favor of its adoption. The original ordi
nance was passed by the same vote.
The Clerk announced a petition, signed
by the leading merchants of the city, pro
testing against the change front the new
to old time, voted by the Council on
Wednesday night.
Alderman Hanley believed the reading
<*f the petition out of order, as the meeting
was called for the consideration of the tax
question. The Mavor overruled the point
of order, and the petition was read, as fol
lows:
We. the undersigned, merciauts amt c.'ti
een* <>f Savannah being fully satisfied with the
workings of tho new standard time, and !.*-
lieving that the proposed change hack to the
old time is not desired hv the majority of >ur
citizens, and would work great confusion, in
that the railroads, express ofile,post ofiler and
hotels would still run on standard time, there
by making two different standards of time in
our citv, do respectfully protest against the
change’ordered for next Saturday, anil Iteg
that the present standard time he continued
in operation.
We further submit that the action of your
honorable body in making this change without
giving the community at large an opportunity
to express their view’s upon it was somewhat
hasty, and iu ease your board will not at once
determine to retain the present time perma
nently. we respectfully request that it will at
least postpone the change for a week ami
until the views of the public at large can be
fully ascertained.
The petition was signed by about a hun
dred leading firms of the city, and at the
bottom of the list of signatures was a note
stating that it was not placed in circu
lation until after 5 o’clock last night, but
it would be presented again to-day, and
the list already secured would be supple
mented by a much larger one than that
submitted to the Council.
Alderman Wells was opposed to any
consideration of the memorial whatever.
The merchants, he claimed, were not in
convenienced by the adoption of the new
time, and did not suffer any of the losses
of manufacturers and men employing
large numbers of hands. Those most
seriously affected were the manufac
turers and large employers, and their peti
tions should be considered in preference
to those of the merchants.
The discussion of the memorial was cut
short by calling a vote upon the motion to
receive as information. The motion pre
vailed, and Alderman Hamlet voted to
table the matter indefinitely. The yeas
and uays were called upon the motion as
follows:
Yeas—Aldermen O’Connor. Hanley, Ham
ilton, liamlct. Wells. Derst—li.
Nays—Aldermen Thomas, Moll, Wilder,
Green, Minis. Nichols—6.
The vote being a tie. the Mayor call
ed on to cast the deciding vote, stated
that he believed in old time, and east the
vote in favor of adoption, thus disposing
of the matter for the present.
Several petitions and applications and
matters of minor importance were acted
upon, after which the Council adjourned.
RAPID WATER TRANSIT.
Tlie Inland Route to Florida—Pros
pects of a Lively Competition Between
Steamers and Railroads.
The extension of lines of railways in
Florida, especially those in the country
adjacent to the St. John’s river, is de
veloping a tierce rivalry between the rail
way and steamboat interests, which
promises by another season to break out
into an open warfare. In Jacksonville
the question of running the steamers
which now make that city the northern
terminus of their route to Savannah is be
ing discussed. By this plan tlie boats will
become competitors for the freight and
passengers coming to this city by steam
ships from.New York, Philadelphia, Balti
more and Boston, as well as for the busi
ness of the Central Railroad. There is.
however, a great obstacle in the way of
such a route, namely, tlie difficulty
attending the navigation of the
creeks through Romney Marsh. This
has been an almost insurmountable draw
back to the inland route between Savan
nah and Florida. Steamers are often de
lated for hours waiting for the tide to rise
sufficiently to permit them to go through.
An effort has been made to overcome this
difficulty by cutting a canal partly
through" Romney Marsh. The Govern
ment has spent" SIO,OOO oil the work this
year, and it will take four or five times as
much more to complete it, and those who
have looked into the matter are doubtful
if the route will be any better after this
"improvement” is made.
To overcome this objectionable feature
to the inland passage and secure a short,
quick route to Florida, an old scheme dis
cussed years years ago, when the steam
ers which then plied between this city and
Florida had no railroad competition and
did all the business, has been revived.
This plan is to make Montgomery the end
of the steamboat route, using the Subur
ban Railway to connect with Savannah.
It is claimed by those who are conver
sant with the subject that over thirty
miles can be saved in distance aud three
to twelve hours in time by this route, and.
if the steamers run to Fernandina, pas
sengers can breakfast in Savannah and
take supper in Jacksonville. Tour
ists would thus have an opportunity
of enjoying a pleasant trip by
davlight "among the beautiful sea islands
of "the Georgia coast. There is scarcely a
doubt that the inland route would be a fa
vorite one with travelers, provided the trip
could be made without unnecessary de
lay. Whether anything will come out of
the scheme is vet "to be seen, but that it
Is feasible scarcely admits of a doubt.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
An Elderly Woman Run Over by a Coast
Line Streetcar and Fatally Injured—
Her Death at St. Joseph s Infirmary.
A fatal accident occurred in Columbia
square about 3 o’clock yesterday after
noon, which resulted in the death of an
elderly lady, Mrs. Bergner, the proprie
tress of a small shop at the corner of
Reynolds street and Thunderbolt road.
The woman, it seems, was returning
from the business portion of the city,
where she had been to make some pur
chases, and in crossing the square and
the Coast Line Railroad car track, at the
Intersection of President and Habersham
streets, was struck by the axles attached
to a street car and knocked down,
the car passing over both of her legs,
crushing the bone of the right leg from
the knee to the ankle, aud breaking and
crushing the left ankle into a bruised
mass of bone aud flesh. The car was
stopped, but not before it had passed over
the unfortunate woman, who _ was
lying across the rails. Dr. Stone
was immediately summoned and
rendered every attention possible. A con
veyance was procured and she was taken
to the St. Joseph’s Infirmary, where an
examination revealed the extent of her
injuries, which were at once pronounced
severe, but were not at that time believed
to be fatal.
Amputation of the right leg was found
to be necessary, and the operation was
performed with as much care as possible.
After the operation the woman was re
vived from her insensible condition and
chatted freely for a short time. She
stated, it is" said, to her attendants
that the accident was the result of
her own carelessness in trying to cross
the track in front of the car. The shock
upon her nerves and body, eufeebled with
age and the loss of blood, was too great,
and she sank rapidly and died about 6:30
o’clock.
Her remains were taken in charge by
her daughter and removed to her late resi
dence at her place of business.
The Coroner was not notified of tlie oc
currence until after midnight, but will
begin an investigation to-day.
The accident was witnessed by a num
ber ot people. The car was quickly sur
rounded by an excited crowd, and the
driver, a negro named Wm. Blue, and his
assistant, a young negro named Jefferson
Williams, who was in Blue’s charge, and
being trained as a driver, were arrested
by Officer Prindible upon a charge of care
less driving and lodged in the barracks.
The ear was in charge of Conductor Pur
vis. The negro Blue stated to a Morn
ing News reporter last night that the
first he saw of the woman she was in
front of tlie mules, running to
get across the track. He seized
the brake and attempted to stop the ear,
hut it was too late: the mule, stepping on
Iter dress, tripped her anti she fell across
the rati, tlie ear passing over her.
Ended iu a Riot—Disturbance Among
Negroes at a lice.
Quite an excitement was created in the
eastern part ol the city Wednesday
afternoon by a disturbance among
a lot of negroes. Mrs. Mona
han, it seems, contemplates the
erection of anew brick building on the
northwest corner of East Broad street
and Bay street lane. On this site there
formerly stood an old wooden rookery,
which was used lor many years as a junk
shop. This old structure was torn down
on that day in about as quick time as any
thing of the Kind could he done. A force
of negroes and boys and a number ot wo
men commenced the work of demolition
about dinner time, and by 4:30 o’clock
every vestige of the rookery was gone.
Probably about 500 negroes were at
work. During the time two of them be
came involved in a discussion as to who
should have a piece ot scantling from
the wreck, when one of them picked up
an ax and attempted to brain the other,
but the weapon was taken away front
him. He then seized a hatchet, but that
was also taken from him. Nothing
daunted, he spied a brick, which he
reached tor and let fly at his adversary,
striking him on the side of the head and
telling him to the ground insensible. The
assailant immediately took to his
heels, but the large crowd of
negro women, boys and men
pursued him up East Broad to Bav street,
and up Bay to Price, and through Price
to Bay lane, down which he ran. the
crowd after him yelling and hooting. He
finally managed to elude his pursuers and
escaped. The wounded negro had a bad
slit tn tlie side of his head. The affair
created considerable excitement for a
time in the eastern part of the city.
Business Hours anil Standard Time.
Editor Morning Neirs: Au argument
used against standard time by merchants
and manufacturers is that it makes their
employes lose time in the morning, aud
stay later at night when they are not
needed. This would be true provided the
old hours of employment were kept to,
but nothing is easier than to change them
and thus make little, if any, change in the
actual hours of labor. For instance: If
with any house the employes were required
under the old time to commence work at
8 a. in., let them start under the new
time at 7:30 a. m.. and the actual differ
ence will be only six minutes; and at
night let employes’ stop one half hour ear
lier than under old time. This is a simple
matter that a child ten years okl can com
prehend. and it is lamentable that intelli
gent business men should be bothered
over it. Simply change the hours ot busi
ness one-halt hour ahead, and that reme
dies any trouble or loss of employes’ time
through the new system.
One Who Has Tried It.
Mr. Basler’s Copy.
Savannah, Jan. 17. —Editor Morning
Sews: Iu the article in your valuable pa
per of the 6th inst., headed "German Vol
unteers." referring to the roll of members
of the company who went to Fort Pulaski
in January, 1861, it is stated you received
front Mr. George Meyer, Secretary of that
company, an interesting document which
was brought to light front an old closet
where it had lain for years. Mr. Meyer
must have been misinformed of the true
facts when he sent you the roll and gave
the information. To let the Gerntau
Volunteers and citizens of Savannah he
trulv informed of the facia, 1 will briefly
state them. I had a number of copies of
the muster roll of the German Volunteers
who went down on the steamtug Samson
in January. 1861, printed, one of which I
hail framed and placed in a prominent
place in my saloon, and it was seen and
read bv thousands of persons. It was
there for twenty years and upwards. The
other was placed in the back of the frame
for safe keeping. I loaned one to Messrs.
Dvrst and Ratz for the purpose of having
it copied. When it was returned I put
the note iu an old closet, where it had lain
for vears before it was brought to light,
but in a eloset attached to my saloon, to
which I had access every day. When I
sold out to Messrs. Renkin & Goetke Mr.
Renkin asked me to let him have the one
in the trame. to which I replied that I
could not, as I highly prized it. I stated
to him that I bad a copy in the saloon
closet to which he was welcome. Mr.
Henrv Voelseb, clerk for Messrs. Renkin
& Goetke. iu looking through the closet,
found the copy. Mr. Henry Voelseb, the
clerk, carried it to a meeting of the Ger
man Volunteers, stating he had found the
long lost muster roll, which I denied after
being informed of that statement. The
roll was my private property, printed for
my own use and benefit, and at my own
expense, and copies given away to the
members at that time, excepting two. I
reserved. V alentine Baslek,

More of Dr. Carver’s Work.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 17. Editor
Morning .Yews: In connection with the
communication in this morning's News
headed, "Effects of Dr. Carver’s Show,”
and signed "An Eye Witness,” I can add
the testimony of another eye witness to
what came nearer terminating in a more
serious manner than “An Eye " itness”
relates. A party ot boys.threw a lasso
over the head of a little colored boy about
10 years old. and, in pulling in the rope,
the" noose tightened around his neck be
fore the little fellow could extricate him
self. and thev were dragging him in this
manner in high glee, when, fortunately
for him. a lady happened by who recog
nized him. and stopped these would-be In
dians. who were having their -fun." just
in the nick of time, lor the noose was so
tight that he was nearly choked. His
tongue was protruding from his mouth,
eyes popped almost out. and his neck
bleeding front the rope cutting into his
flesh. Doubtless in a few moments more
be would have been choked to death.
This incident shows how necessary it is
to have this business checked before there
is a funeral to end the proceedings, and
the police should be instructed to have an
eve on such bands of pale-faced Indians.

Wants Equal Taxation.
Editor Morning News: The actions of
our “reform” Board of Aldermen at their
meeting Wednesday night needs
condemnation. Now, as the retaA mer
chants in Savannah are satisfied that the
present Reform Board of Aldermen have
ignored not alone their wishes, but their
rights in the matter of the unjust and un
equal taxation, is it not about time to
take such steps for a mass meeting as the
question demands* Then only can
we expect to wake up the Council
to a sense of their duty. No doubt our
wise City Fathers will then see thsir in
consistency in the matter of taxes and
revise them, making the wealthy pay
their proportionate share towards liqui
dating the debt of the city, and not put
the burden on the shoulders of the poor
and middle classes. If we had a few
more such business men in Council as the
Chairman of the Finance Committee, this
unjust tax digest would never have be
come a law. . .. .
The Council certainly have the right to
levy taxes, but they must do so in a busi
ness way, and not in the interest of a few
capitalists who have an idea that they,
and they alone of all the merchants in Sa
vannah, are entitled to protection. Now,
you will agree with me that it is those
who are struggling hard for a livelihood
who should be protected; and not those
who, through the immense fortunes they
possess, are living on the “fat of the
land.” If there must be a specific tax, why
not make it apercentum'onthe amount of
business done? Why should I pay s">o
per year, and others, who do a larger busi
ness than myself, say of from ten to fif
teen times more, pay the same? It is
simply unjust, unbusiness-like and ridicu
lous. We have wholesalers who claim to
do a business of from $500,000 to $750,000 a
year, and why should they pay but four
times the amount of specific taxes that
Mrs. Widow Davs, who does a business of
perhaps s2,ooo'a year? Well may the
words be recalled, used at the last Alder
manic election, that they were nominated
in the interest of monied men, and not
in the interest of the masses. To over
throw their arbitrary actions a mass meet
ing is necessary, and then only can we
expect anything like
Equal Taxation.
