REPUBLICANS OX THE WAR I’ATH. The First Militia District Bally at Chat ham Hall —An Anti-Custom Hou*e le -m on-t rat ion—Disaffection in tne Ee publican Kank*. Chatham Hall was tne scene of a lively Republican demonstration last night. Y es ter jay a printed call for a special district meeting of the members of the First Dis trict G. M. was circulated among the fob lowers of too Republican camp, notifying them to meet at Chatham Hall a* 8 o’clock. when business ot great importance wouid be considered. 'The call was signed by Joseph Williams. Chairman of the dis trict. and Joseph Hamilton, secretary. The character of the meeting was not stated, and to anvone unfamiliar with the names of the signers and unacquainted with the fact that it was intended as a call for a Republican political meeting, it conveved no hint whether it was to be political or religious. Republican or Ikj-xo- eratie. At eight o’clock a Mormxg News re [■orte- found a dozen or more colored men scattered about on Bolton street in the vieinitv of the hall, leaning against the feri apparently waiting for something "- - fieVxjv to turn up. Climbing the dimiv lighted stairway about fifty more, wit a half a dozen prominent white Republicans, among whom vv re Col. A. N. Wilson, of the Revenue • ;rli .and Col. E. O. Wade. Deputy United states Marshal, were gathered in knots net'y discussing the issues of the occa sion. It was evident the masses had not arriv' and. The News man inquired w hat was the object of the meeting, and was told by one of the leaders that it was a rallv, but nothing more could be ' '.earned until the * hairrnan whacke-l bis hickory over the table and called the "members” to order. A few minutes later Waring Russell, Esq., ap peared on the scene. It was apparent at a glance that it was to be an anti-custom bo'us- meeting. Cols. Wilson and Wade and the heavy men of the district took a position at the bead of the ball by the S Chairman’s table, where the News man i was also invited to a seat. The custom house faction ranged itsell on one side of the hall on a bench opposite to the masses, who were gath ered on the other side. The crowd had increased until there were probably two hundred in the room, when the meeting was called to order. The Chair man called upon the Rev. C, L. D* l.amotta to invoke divine blessing upon the meeting, and those who iiad assembled in support of "the great principles of the party.” He then appointed three lusty, able-bodied -,,. r geaiit-eat-Anns to preserve order, and stationed them, one at the entrance to the hall and the otte r two in opposite corners, with the charge to “pick no row” with anv body, but if any disorder should occur to “gently take the man home without any muss.” There were no indications of a disturb ance, but the move was deemed advisable as a precautionary measure. He then stated that the meeting had been called by his order for the transaction of certain important business, and after it bad been considered he wouid call upon the speak ers. who were expected to he present, to discuss tiie issues of the day. The first business taken up was the aj>- pointment of a District Executive Com mittee of seven members and a rallying committee of fifteen members, which was accomplished after considerable discus sion and interruption by the minority faction. The Chairman then stated that further i than the appointment of the committees, tie principal object of tne meeting was to impress upon the colored people the necessity for registration in order that th'-v might exercise their franchise as voters. Ho called upon Col. A. N. Wilson to address the meeting. Col. Wilson arose and took off his overcoat, ! but before he had time to address the chair, the reverend brother present [ jumped up, and with an apology for his ! interruption, proceeded to introduce the | speaker as’ a leader of the | Republican party and a staunch member | of the true faction. Col. Wilson wasthen aliow-d to proceed, and talked for half an hour on what he had done for tiie Repub licans of Georgia, and how no effort of the party had every succeeded in Chatham eon n’t v or the First Congressional district except he had planned it and had been its mainspring. After Col. Wilson had taken his seat there was a chorus of calls for Cyrus L. Brtiwn, and Brown modestly appeared on the lloor. After a laudatory allusion to the sneaker who had preceded him, he let himself into the subject, and dug up the facts at the bottom of the issue in true campaign style. At the conclusion of the speech other speakers followed, holding up the princi ples or the party, and urging on its repre sentatives to capt ure the field and hold it. THE 11l KULAK’S ENEMY. How the Burglar Alarm Telegraph and its Police Worry the House-breaker*. The sharp ring of a bell attracted the attention of a News reporter, as he was passing out Whitaker street in front of the office of the Burglar Alarm and District Telegraph Company last night. Mounting the stairs and entering the company’s central office, Superin tendent Charles White was found busy at work connecting and adjusting the wires of a complicated apparatus that looked like a wall of boxes in the post office. Stepping from behind a network of wires the courteous Superin tendent met the reporter, advancing with an anxious anything-new look on his face, and informed him that everything was all right. There was noliody being murdered and nothing at all was the matter. He was simply ad justing the boxes and an accidental con nection of the wires had caused an alarm. Spoiled of an item, the News man sat down and Mr. White explained the work ings of the two elec-trie alarm systems in operation by the company—the single wire and the circuit system. "We are now nineteen months old,” said Mr.Wliite. "Thecompany wasicorporgtcd in April. 18*2. and on the 14th of August the system was placed in operation. We were then in the Lyons building, further out til'* street.” “How many alarm stations are there in operation ?” ••in both systems there are 72—142 on single wires and 10 in the circuit.” “Which is the better system, if there is any difference?’’ “The circuit system is the most reliable by far and is the one most adopted.” Utlic Superintendent’ then proceeded to explain its workings, which, to the mind of the scribe, uneducated in complicated electrical apparula, was a difficult thing to understand. In addition to the protection afforded the* subscribers to the 'company by the alarm system the premises upon w hich the stations are located are pa trolled every hour in the night by the company’s police. The patrolmen report for duty at 0 o’clock p. m. and begin their rounds at * o’clock, remaining on duty until 0 in tiie morning, when they are re lieved. The company lias grown consid erably since it was organized, and the subscribers increased so that last year a change was necessary, in its headquarters, and the commodious and thoroughly appointed central office is now located at No. 12 Whitaker street. The system has proved a success and through it hundreds of thousands of dol lars worth of property are protected~from the interference of the enterprising burglar, who has operated extensively in Southern cities during the past two years.

Crop Prospect* Around Savannah—The Cabbage Crop a Failure and the Pea Crop Left* than a Quarter —Indication* for the Strawberry Yield. The result of the damage to the market gardens and truck farms by the hard frosts of January will be. so far as can be learned, an almost total failure ol the cabbage crop and a great ioss in the pea crop. • A Morning News reporter made in quire among the gardeners and produce d-alers vesterday. and found that while a •tiifSt crop of cabbages and peas is ex pected. a large crop of other produce is looked for. In reply to an inquiry as to the extent of the cabbage crop, a well known gar dener said: “it w ill virtually be nothing. Where 100 acres have been planted and grown • In former ve&rs, there are not 25 acres this year. Outside of Mr. Schley, who has about nine acres ol plants and ex pects to have aliout 65,000 cabbages, and Major Kyals. who has about six acres and will have at least 50,000 cabbages, there are probably not twenty acres In the whole county. In fact, there are none in the state, and Florida and Alabama are about as bad off.” “What will the crop be compared with last year ?” • "It will not bo more than one-eighth as large.” -I* there any danger from Irosts at this season ?” “There Lave been, in some years frosts | later than now which have destroyed ; everytning. I remember a few years ago j a frost on the 18th of April w hich killed almost the-entire vegetable crop." “What is the prospect for the i>ea crop?” “Very poor. The vines were used up by the January frosts, and the crop w ill not be more than one-fourth of what was expected.” “How about other vegetables?” “There will be a goal crop ol potatoes if nothing happens. Some of the early vines were cut, but not to any extent. The bean crop, from the present prospects, will be heavier than last year, most of the seed is planted and the farmers are pre paring for a heavy crop to offset the light crop of peas. The tomatoes, while not extensively grown, promises a good yield. Melons are leing planted, but, of course, that crop amounts to little anyway in this section.” ‘•What is the prospect for the straw berrv yield ?” “The fruit is a little later than last year, but the yield promises to be heavy. The first berries were placed on the market last year on the loth of March, and this vear on the 1.5 th —live days later. Ibe frost had no effect on the vines and the flelds-are looking line.” RAILROAD Ul MBLINGo Bright Flashes of Intelligence from Near und Afar. The l’alatka and Indian River Railroad is to be pushed to Titusville immediately. The Augusta and Knoxville Railroad will soon Ire completed to Spartanburg. S. C. The survey of the Greenville and Chip lev extension has been commenced at C’&ipley. North bound travel is increasing heavily. Yesterday and last night New York trains were crowded with returning tourists. The surveying party of the Macon and Florida are now engaged in running a line through Perrv to intersect with the line already surveyed. The travel over the Tampa Steamship Line from Cedar Key to Tampa has rather increased, since the railroad lias been com pleted to Tampa, than diminished. Work on the Dublin and Alice Railroad, to be known as the Dublin Short Line, will be commenced as soon as the char ter, which has been applied for, is ob tained. , Rates on sugar, coffee and molasses from New Orleans to Chattanooga have been reduced to twenty-seven cents, a re duction of three cents, and rice was re duced to twenty-four cents, a reduction of two cents. Word has reached Augusta that con tractor Twiggs has been ordered to re sume work on the Savannah Valley Rail road, a royal route running from Mc- Cormick’s, or Dorn’s Mines, on the A. & K., to Anderson, 8. C. The Covington Enterprise says: “The Georgia Railroad, desiring to name some palace cars after the, Indian names of our three rivers, asked Judge T. M. Meri wether to get them up. After diligent search the Judge found an old map and the following names were given: Yellow river—Coo-lau-poo-chee; South river— We-lau-nee; Alcova river— Ulco-fau hatchee.” The Buena Vista Enterprise says: “The cast of grading the Buena Vista Railroad is put down at SI,OOO per mile, and the ties for the entire line will cost in the neighborhood of SII,OOO— making a total 0f537,000 or s4o.ooofor the whole business. A few changes have been made in the no tice to railroad contractors. The work will be divided into two sections of thir teen miles each—the first section to be completed by the 10th of July, and the latter by the 15th of September.” Mai. Green, manager of the Georgia Railroad, denies the statement of the Ath ens Banner that he made a wholesale dis charge of theeinployes of the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern Railroad, begin ning with Col. Candler. He says that the Georgia Railroad, in taking jiossession of this new branch, simply extended the au thority of the officers of the main line over it. The reg ular employes of the new road were re tained. Only those who had been engaged in work construction bad been relieved. tin the subject of the Greenwood, I,an iens and Spartanburg Railroad the Spartanburg Herald s<.ys: “On Thurs day, the 13th inst., a meeting of the directors of this road was held in Green wood, and the following line of action adopted: President Raoul, of the Georgia Central, submitted a written proposal to take the first mortgage bonds and for them complete the road, including equip ments. This proposition was accepted, and the road will be completed at an early day. The grading is almost com plete, and President Raoul expects to go to work building trestles and bridges and laying the iron this spring.” The Athens Banner- Watchman has the following: “Jf'ij. ./. IF. Green . General Manager-. Dkah Si it —1 have your letter of the Gill. I remember the interview with Mr. Bloomfield at Athens. There was no promise Hindi* further than that we would make the same rate from Jug Tavern to Athens as from Jug Tavern to Social Circle, if the road was built rrom Athens to Jefferson instead of Jug Tavern. I do not remember to have made any promise for aiding the railroad on any other occasion. I do not think it would be desirable for us to have an interest in the road they propose to build, but in tiie present depressed condition of railroad property in Georgia, and in the present shortage of tiie Georgia Railroad itself, t do not favor such a project at this time. 1 would defer it. and think it more prudent until tilings look bet ter. When we get through with what we have undertaken I shall never advocate the expenditure of any more money in Georgia until we have some assurances as to how the law will deal with us.

Traveling s’ar actors and actresses, sat s the New York Times, meet with amusing episodes here and there through the coun try. All sorts of people insist upon know ing them, under every pretext, and it seems to be the general impression that actors and actresses were made to told a position of serene and patient servitude toward those who may choose to call upen them at any time. Mne. Modjeska was relating, tbc other night, to a select circle of acquaintances, ah experience which befell her early in the season in a distant Western town. One afternoon she re ceived a summons to attend upon two lady callers in the reception room, and, as the summons was couched in rather imperative terms. Mine. Modjeska went down. There was one elderly female and one youngish girl. The eldest was tall and ’stout, and obviously the mother ot her companion, who struck Mme. Mod jeska as a chronic invalid. The corner, sation. as deliciously mimicked by the actress, was as follows: ‘•Are you Modjesky?” I “Y'es.” ‘•The play actress? Well, my daughter, here, w ants to go on the stage.” I ‘‘lndeed? What are her acquire ments?” “Eh? Well, ma’am, you’ll have to speak a little louder than that, because, you see, my daughter is rather hard oi hearing.” Mme.. Modjeska spoke louder. The young lady answered rather thickly and with difficulty. “Has she ever acted?” asked Ylodjeska. “No.” responded the woman. “I can’t say as she has ever acted, but we’ve tried her at pretty much everything else anil couldn’t do’ nothing with her, so we thought she might do for the stage.” “Ob,” said Modjeska. “Yes,” smiled the woman. “She seems ill,” said Modjeska. “What is the matter with her?” “Nothing only epilepsy, ma’am. She has that now and then, but it ain’t a very bad case.” Mme. Modjeska gasped slightly. Then she rose with dignity and said something about the stage being neither a hospital nor a refuge for people who were good for nothing at anything else. And having thus delivered herself she departed,leaving the maternal caller in great indignation as to “stuck up folks.” MAKING PUTTY'. Tbe Process by Machinery Described by a Painter who Makes it by Hand. One stormy day last week an old man in an uptown paint shop sat by a window, says the New York Sun, with a large piece of plate glass before him, kneading on the glass a baton of w hat seemed to be dough for black bread, “It’s putty,” he explained. “I make it myself. It’s mighty hard to get genuine linseed putty in the stores.” j "What do you make it of?” | “Haw linseed oil and whiting. Whiting, j you know, is simply ground chalk, ground j in a mill like flour. It comes out with a j line flint grit in it. Before making putty : of it a few old-fashioned men who believe j in making the best of everything wash the grit out. The fine flour is then dried. If it isn’t dried perfectly it takes up more oil than is desirable or profitable, From 500 to 000 pounds—about 15 per cent, by weight of raw oil to 85 per cent, of whiting—are put in a chaser, and thor oughly mixed ” "What’s a chaser?” “It’s an annular trough, ten feet in diameter. From a vertical shaft in the centre two arms extend, on the end of which are heavy iron wheels that rest in the trough. When the shaft revolves the wheels chase each other around the trough. When mixed it is packed iu blad ders lor convenience in handling.” “How is the>tuff adulterated?” “Marble dust is mixed with whiting. It costs about a quarter of a cent a pound, and w hiting costs twice that. Paraffine oils, at from 20 to 30 cents a gallon, are used instead ot linseed oil, at 60 cents. The marble dust makes the putty gritty, and the cheap oil makes it sticky. Cheap putty is decidedly cheap. I wouldn’t use it even on a government job.” “What is the market price of putty?” “Putty in bulk, wholesale, is worth $2 12 a hundred pounds. The other win dow Mass cements run from $1 4o to $1 75. They are dear at that, 1 think. They take longer to put on and longer to dry.”’ "Is putty imported?” “No. Neither is it exported. A lot was brought over a long time ago. but that was when oil was very high. The whit ing comes from England.” Xo Grease for Him. “When Greece her knees—Greece her knees—Greece her knees,” stammered an embarrassed schoolboy, forgetting the flextlineof his recitation. “There is no occasion to grease anybody’s knees,” shouted his teacher. “Go and study your piece.” Neither is there occasion to grease your hair.
