BANQUETING THEIR CHANCELLOR.
The Knights of Pythias Reception of
supreme Chancellor Linton-banquet
at the Pavilion.
Last evening the Knights of Pythias
gave a superb banquet at the Pa*, ilion
Hotel in honor of their distinguished
guest, lion. John P. Linton, the Supreme
Chancellor of the order, at which Com
mander R. R. Richards, of Du Guesclin
Division No. 1, presided. Among the in
v.ted ruests were Judge A. P. Adams,
Judge William D. Harden. Hon. P-
W. Meldrim, Messrs. J. R. Saussy. s.
B. Adams, Henry C. Cunuingham,
Mr. Jonas Stern and other representa
tives of the press. The banquet table
was laden with the substantial and del
icacies of the season, and reflected credit
on the committee of arrangements, ot
which Bro. O. Pierre Havens was Chair
man The dining hall. was profusely
decorated with bunting and tne
Republican Blues band rendered several
of the choicest and most popular airs of
“when the substantial had been dis
the feast of reason and flow of
Lu was begun. when the first regular
t„a,t of the evening “The Supreme
Lod<*e ” was responded to by Mr. Linton,
who" said that he had frequently
been called upon to perforin
a dutv when he felt unequal
to the task, or when he had been called
upon to sav something, but not until this
evening had he felt himself embarrassed.
The Knights of Pythias, said he, are
worthy of the respect of the citi
zens of this great republic. The
Supreme Lodge was organized in
]*i;s, four vears after the first organi
zation of the Knights was formed. The
order now has 140.000 members and thirty
eight Grand Lodges in the United Mates
The secret of our growth lies in the fact
that every member has supreme conti
denee in the principles of the order. Mr.
Linton went on to say that the teachings
of the Brotherhood would, it was hoped,
lead to the dawn of that period when there
will be peace on earth and good will
among men. The speaker referred to the
knightlv courtesy and lessons of charity
which the order sought to inculcate, not
onlv among the people of our localitj, but
between the peoples of every sec
tion. He concluded by saying
that he had every reason to
know what the courtesy of the Brother
hood was in everv portion of the country,
and that he saw the evidences of how
zealous the members of the Brotherhood
were in cherishing it, and that the princi
ples of the order were not national mere
ly but were becoming universal. He
expressed his acknowledgements to
the Knights of Savannah for their
kindly greeting, and said he would cher
ish the recollections of his reception in
the beautiful Forest City to his last mo
ments on earth.
The second toast, “Justice and law, or
justice as administered bv law the surest
safeguard of a free people,” was re
sponded to by Hon. A. P. Adams.
The third regular toast, “The Poetry of
Motion,” was responded to by Hon. P. W.
Meldrim.
The fourth toast, “Our Military, the City
and Society Soldiery,” was responded to
by Mr. J. K. Saussy in a speech which kept
the assemblage in a roar of laughter. He
concluded by paying a handsome tribute
to the military and the principles of the
Knights of Pythias.
The fifth regular toast, "Truth is Mighty
aud will Prevail.” was most eloquently
responded to bv Mr. S. B. Adams.
The sixth regular toast, “In the Triumph
of right, Justice is Triumphant,” was re
ponded to bv Judge Harden.
The seventh toast. “Our City Govern
ment, may it prove, as in the past, wise
and conservative,” was responded to by
Mr. Henry C. Cunningham.
The eighth regular toast. "The Press,”
was resjionded to by Messrs. Murray,
Stern. Orr and Symons.
Mr. Richards was then called upon, and
gave a most eloquent address.
The festivities were concluded at a late
hour, when the Knights escorted the Su
preme Chancellor to his hotel.
To-night Mr. Linton will attend the
meeting of Teutonia Lodge No. 7.
THE JUDGESHIP.
Commissioner Beckett Tells Where the
Georgia Senators Stand.
The supporters of Goodyear tor the
United Mates Court Judgeship, to succeed
Judge Erskine, are pushing hitn to the
front with all their might. Meeting Com
missioner Beckett yesterday, the inter
view with him published in the News
was brought up. and in connection with
It Mr. Beckett said:
••I am represented as saying that the
indorsements giveu by Chief Justice Jack
son and Associate Justice Hall to Mr.
Goodyear referred to another matter, and
the inference to be drawn from that state
ment is, that while they were given in that
manner Mr. Goodyear used them for the
purposes of this contest. That is in
ncornct and calculated to place Mr.
Goodyear in a false light. The fact is that
both the Judges named indorsed him em
phatically and unequivocally as a fit per
son for appointment to the vacant Judge
ship, and referred to nothing else.
‘•What I stateed in that connection
was that both Senators Brown and Col
quitt had written letters concerning Mr.
Goodyear, in another matter, which ex
pressed their sentiments as to his ability
as a lawyer and his integrity as a man.
These letters show conclusively that, if
nominated, neither ol the Georgia Sena
tors could consistently urge any objection
to his confirmation.
••During my recent visit to Washington
I became fully impressed with the belief
that Seuators Brown and Colquitt enter
tain a warm regard for Mr. Goodyear, aud
1 am well satisfied that, if nominated, they
would vote for his confirmation, although
they do not deem it expedient to indorse
bini, or any one else, for appointment.
That branch or the case they are satisfied
to leave entirely with the President, as is
right and proper, reserving their privilege
to act upon the matter in executive ses
sion of the Senate.”

DIED IN HIS CEEE.
An Aged Prisoner Ends His Life In the
Jail.
.Jameg Ryan, a white man about 60
years of age, was arrested by the police
iast Friday for drunkenness in the streets.
On the following morning he was sen
tenced in the Mayor's Court to be im
prisoned ten days in jail. The unfortu
nate man was subject, after he arrived at
the jail, to delirium tremens, and fancied
be saw snakes and wild animals in his
cell. The Sheriff and his assistants did
what thev could to alleviate his condition,
and the jail physician, I>r. Bulloch, gave
such medicine as it was thought his com
plaint required. About 3 o'clock yester
dav morning he was awake in his cell,
but soon after went to sleep. About day
light he appeared to be still sleeping, but
at a later hour, as he had not moved or
shown any indications of awaking, the
<*uard made a more careful examination,
and discovered that he was dead. Dr.
Bulloch was sent for, and iu the burial
certificate attributed the death to “alco
holism.”
A coffin was procured and the remains
were interred in Laurel Grove Ceme
tery. The deceased was a stranger in
Savannah and had no money or friends
in the eitv. During the week preceding
his commitment to jail he lodged nearly
everv night at the police barracks. He
was of medium height, and his hair and
beard was long and white. His general
appearance and manner suggested that
he had probably seen better days.

THE DISTRICT TELEGRAPH SER
VICE.
The "Call System” to be Introduced by
the Western Union Company-Proba
bility of a Full Messenger Force.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is about to establish the “call sys
tem” as an adjunct to its large and in
creasing business in this city.
The matter was brought before the com
panv bv Manager Dillon some time ago,
and upon his recommendation -a requisi
tion was granted, which he received yes
terdav for the purchase of the necessary
apparatus to establish the system and
nlace it in operation.
Manager Dillon states that about 000
stations" will be established, and a “call
box” will be placed in every store and
office in the eitv doing business with the
company. The' system will be a great
convenience to the public and a valuable
addition to the company's equipment. It
will be organized at once, and by the Ist
of March it is expected it will be in ope
ration. „, ,
The messenger force will be increased,
so that no delays will occur, and a signal
from anv of the stations will summon a
messenger for the delivery of telegrams at
the shortest notice. The system is estab
lished for the convenience of the com
pany’s patrons, and the service will be
gratuitous.
An effort is also being made to secure a
full district telegraph messenger service,
the same as in operation in Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, and other large
cities. Manager Dillon has recommended
its adoption in Savannah, and there is
little doubt that in a short time the sys
tem will be established and in operation.
The tirst messenger service company or
ganized was in New Fork ior the carry
ing of parcels and the distribu
tion of circulars and other light
businesss of that nature. After being in
operation for some time it was brought
under the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's control, and was called the Ameri
can District Telegraph Company, under
which name the system is in operation in
nearly all the large cities of the country.
In addition to the service of telegraph
messengers, escorts for ladies and chil
dren are furnished, police and nre
alarms are given and messengers
arc supplied for carrying packages
to anv part of the city on a tew minutes
notice. With the system fully in opera
tion. Manager Dillon is assured that its
patronage will include nearly everv busi
ness house in the city. The matter is yet
under advisement by the company and
the recommendation has not yet been
acted upon, but should it he tavorably
considered and the service established it
is believed that it would assure at oaee a
large patronage.

Poison Oak.
I had for thirty-eight years suffered
every spring and summer with Poison
Oak, which I contracted in bathing when
a boy. I tried everything for it, including
many physicians, but without any bene
fit. I took six bottles of Swift’s Specfie
(S. S. S.) four years ago, and it cured me
sound and well. Three summers have
passed, and I have had no return of it.

An Important Southern Enterprise.
Yu important negotiation, says an At
lanta special to the St. Louis Globe-Vemo
erm, affecting the Southern railroad sys
tern, has been closed in New Tork anc. an
organization made. It has been known
in some circles that the Thomas Senoj
syndicate had determined to build a rail
road in the South connecting the Memphis
and Charleston with the Georgia Pacinc.
They own the Memphis and Charleston
under a lease, and have control of the
Georgia Pacific, as part of the Richmond
and Danville system. They selected as
the point from which to leave the Memphis
and Charleston the head of navigation ol
the Tennessee river, intending to build
there a eitv which would have direct water
wav to St. Louis, to which the iron and
coal of North Alabama could be carried,
and from which the grain of the West
could be returned in steamers. It was
proposed to establish here the compant s
shoos of the Memphis and Charleston,
and have the new road built and make a
great distributing point between the iron
section of Alabama and the grain fields of
the Northwest. When Mr. Jere Baxter,
of Nashville, who represents the Thoinas
Senev syndicate, came South to select the
location of the city, be found the lana
already in the possession of 11 • 8. and E.
C. Gordon, then engaged in organizing a
company to establish a city there. Be
fore the arrangement was concluded be
tween the Gordons and the Thomas syn
dicate the Gordons had organized a com
pauv in Atlanta, with $500,000, of which
thev took half for the lands they owned.
With the cash subscribed by the company
thev had completed the purchase of such
other lands needed on the bluff of the river
where the future town was to be located,
and which thev named Sheffield. Capital
ists in Atlanta, Montgomery and other
Southern cities were interested. Ihe
Gordons were invited to New York to
meet the syndicate people, who wanted
to buv an interest in the town large
enough to justify them iu building
it up, agreeing that if the owners
would 6ell one-half ot their stock
in Sheffield they (the Thomas Senev
syndicate) would at once build a road
from the Memphis and Charleston road at
Sheffield to some town on the Georgia 1 a
cifie to the west of Birmingham, i bis
trade has been closed. A construction
company with $1,000,000 capital
formed, and the stock was at once taken
bv Mr. Jere Baxter. President ot the r irst
National Bank of Nashville, $50,000; Gen.
Thomas. $100,000; Mr. Senev, $100,000; C.

ance. This construction company will at
once build a road 85 miles in length,
broad gauge. Jere Baxter is President of
the companv; Mr. Nat. Baxt r. Treasu
rer, and Maj. W. V. McCracken, who
built the East Tennessee Road, secretary,
and will be in control. Maj. Sample has
already made a preliminary survey of tie
route. In order to make good certain
titles to the land the road must be finished
to the Franklin line by the middle of May,
and to make good the titles to additional
lands must be finished to the Georgia Fa
cific line by the Ist of October. Work
will be pressed as fast as men ana njoney
can do it. The Gordons have made $200,-
000 each out of this trade.

How He Did Not Speculate In Northern
Pacific.
He was a well posted, but speculative
business man—had read of marvelous
fortunes which had been won by little
puts aud calls in Northern Pacific pre
ferred stock. He reflected; he drew his
little savings on his way to W all itreet,
to do the deed. En route there, he saw
an advertisement showiug what could be
done with $5 invested in a ticket in the
Monthly Drawing of the Louisiana State
Lotterv. He reconsidered, and sent his $. to
M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La., and
drew' 10,000 per cent. ($500). He pities

over $265,000 will be made.—Adc.

A LARGE BODY
—OF—
VALDABLE LAID
FOR SALE.
Suitable for Corn, Cotton, Rice
or Turpentine Farms.
Its Accessibility to Market, etc.
I HAVE for sale one of tlie most valuable
bodies of land in Southern Georgia. Tt con
sists of about 8,300 acres in lirvan county, nnd
known as the MOUNT HOPE PLANTATION.
It is bounded on one side by the Midway river,
a navigable salt river, and ou another side by
the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway,
which it skirts between the 10th and 22-1 mile
post from within a quarter to one mile of the
track.
Of this tract 1,500 acres have been cleared
and planted in corn and cotton; about tino
acres is inland swamp land, and about 500
acres reclaimed salt marsh, the balance is up
land. The soil is remarkably fertile, produc
ing liefore the war a bale of sea island cotton
to the acre and 40 bushels of corn. The re
claimed salt marsh is of a very tine order ot
land, and has been cultivated in ricd, produc
ing Go bushels per acre. As this land can be
overflowed bv salt water, it can be renewed
by rest and flowing whenever desired.
For rice culture there are three large back
waters, more than sullicient for all the differ
ent etianges necessary for the flowing of the
growing plant.
The buildings consist of a large double two
story dwelling, very roomy, excellent barn,
large stables, and ample negro quarters. The
threshing mill, engine and boiler are of the
most approved kind, and are in line order.
The mill and buildings are insured for $3,800.
The bulk of the tract is virgin pine forest,
and is very valuable lor naval stores, a large
sum having already been ottered by the tur
pentine getters in the neighborhood.
Asa cattle range it is considered the very
best in this part of the country, it being esti
mated that from 700 to 1,000 head of cattle are
pastured there every year from the neigh
bors' stock.
There i3 abundance of fence stuff on the
place, and from the peculiar shape of the land
it can be fenced at a comparatively small cost,
and cut off the whole or portions of it cither
for pasturage or for plauting.
The main body of the land is so near the
railroad, some portions being only a half mile
from the track, and within 20 miles of Savan
nah. that it possesses peculiar advantages for
any of the kinds of business herein referred
to.' It is estimated that 1,000 cords of oak
wood can lie cut front the land, which can be
placed in this market at a sms 1 cost of trans
portation, either by the railroad or by water.
