A FILIBCSTEKING SCARE.
Tb* Graundt*** Rumor of a Suspicious

A report was circulated last night that
the r- venue . gtt*rr Bout well had left Sa

whWßrr lying inside of Island
wwd supponed to be a filibuster. A re.
porter of the Morning News called on

upon bis return, and was informed that

schooner which generally runs on the in-
LANES OR NO LANES.
The Aldermen Olsens* the Question in
the Eons Room, but Retreat Into Cau
cus Behind Closed Doors Before Mak
Ins Their Beport.
Alderman Thomas’ ordinance providing
for the laying out of streets and lanes in
the limits of the city south of Anderson
street was informally considered by the
City Council last night. The conference
was held in the Council Chamber, all the
Aldermen being present except Mell and
Derst.
The ordinance was read and considered
by sections, a large map of the extension
being laid upon the table before the
Mayor,
The question as to the amount to be
paid for the property condemned in lay
ing out the streets was discussed, and de
vel<q>ed a variety of opinion. By the act of
the Legislature extending the limits of the
city it was, among other things, enacted
that auvone who should build across ati>
projected street or lane, after the same
had been surveyed and laid out bv the
Citv Surveyor, and designated by sufficient
marks anti bounds, should, when the fit)
Council proceeded to condemn the same,
be entitU-d to compensation only accord
ing to the value of the property at the
tim° the survey should be made.
Alderman Hamilton rais and the question
whether the city would be compelled to
pay for the property at its present value
or "when it i? condemned, aud whether if
at the time it be condemned it would not
be likely to have enhanced in value.
The Corporation Attorney was of the
opinion that it would have to be paid tor
at its present value, the object of the
clause being to keep people from obstruct
ing the proposed streets by building across
them.
Alderman Thomas thought it best not
to condemn the property until the citv
could pay for it. or only so much as it
could pay for at one time.
Alderman Wells—The city is certainly
not prepared to pay for it now. My idea
is to let the matter remain as it is for the
present. The property owners in time
will be glad to have us"open the streets at
anv price to make their property available.
The next section ot the ordinance, rela
tive to the manner of laying out the
streets aud lanes, w-as then read by the
Clerk.
Alderman Thomas said that in present
ing the ordinance the recommendation of
ihe committee on opening new streets
was in tavor of lanes, yet they were ready
to yield to the opinion of the Council. The
matter had been carefully considered,
and, after long deliberation, they an
nounced their convictions in presenting
the ordinance strongly in favor ot the
plan for which it provides.
Alderman Hamlet was in favor of lanes
in preference to broad streets.
Alderman Thomas requested the clerk
to read the communication signed ‘-Pro
gress” in the Mousin'* News of Wed
nesday. which was complied with. The
Alderman said that there were two
clauses in that communication which at
tracted Ids attention, One in particular.
If in the new extension the blocks were
300 or 4<H) feet, lanes or alleyways of some
kind would l>e required and in building
them uniformity would be little regarded
by property owners. The* city, therefore,
would do lietter in providing for them
upon a uniform plan.
Alderman Wells said that when the
committee went to work upon the map he
was opposed to lanes, but he had since
been convinced that they were a neces
sity. Some place must be provided , for
the people who now occupy them. The
climate in the hot season made it neces
sary to secure all the open space possible.
He was now as strongly in favor of lanes
as he was opposed to them when the mat
ter was first considered.
Alderman Wilder—Do Charleston and
New Orleans have lanes?
Alderman Wells—l don’t know about
that.
Alderman Nichols said that Charleston
had numerous irregular alleyways, but
that our lanes were better laid out and
eared for in every way.
Alderman Thomas said that the gentle
men who had served on the committee had
realized the necessity for lanes. A great
many lots had been cut up into small sub
divisions, and in order to secure access to
them it would be a necessity to provide
lanes, else the owners would provide them.
Alderman Hanley agreed with Aider
man Wells.
Alderman Thomas —There is another
way to avoid lanes and that is to construct
streets where lanes are proposed, but then
the same objection would exist.
Alderman Wilder—l don’t object to
lams. I want large lots the same as in
other cities.
Alderman Thomas moved that the sec
tion of the ordinance be adapted.
Alderman Hamilton, who had taken no
part in the discussion, after conversation
with the Mayor and one or two members
of the board, arose and moved that,
before any action lie taken, the Coun
cil retire’ to the Mayor's room. He
did not consider that the matter should
be publicly discussed until it had been
acted upon in caucus. The motion was
carried and the monitors of the Council
left the long room and went into private
session. Alderman Thomas said, at the
adjournment of the conference, that he
saw no objection to the matter being made
public. It was a subject in which the
public is interested, and so far as he was
concerned he was willing that it should
know where he stood.
THE ARMORY El’Nl>.
Lecture by Gazaway Hartridge, Esq., at
the Theatre Next Thursday Night.
At the quarterly meeting of the Savan
nah Volunteer Guards Battalion, one of
the members of the corps was invited to
deliver a lecture in aid of the armory
fund. The matter was brought to the at
tention of the meeting by Capt. R. H.
Footman, who offered the following pre
amble and resolution:
It having come to the knowledge of the
corps that sergeant Gazaway Hartrlnge.of Cos.
A. has tieeu approached by a number of mem
bers of the battalion with the request that he
deliver a lecture at an early date for the ben
efit of the armory fund, and it being the hope
of the corps that he may consent, it is
Reunited, That this corps request Sergeant
Hartridge to deliver a lecture in Savannah
upon such subject as he may select, at a time
and place to be named by him, the proceeds to
go to the armory fund, and that the chair ap
jioint a committee of three to confer witn him
in tlii-regard, and if he consents to arrange
all details.
The committee, consisting of Messrs.
It. 11. Footman. W. Hampton Wade and
J. E. Wooten, yesterday addressed a let
ter to Mr. Hartridge, which reads as fol
lows:
Savannah, May 14,1554.
Mr, Gatirray Hartrnig*, Sarannah:

mitting to you the aecompaaymg resolution,
and l eg that you accede to the request there

of reaching the Presidency, is one that no
American citizen can with honor decline.

would, in accordance with what I understand
to be your wishes, name Thursday evening

The Notaries to be Appointed at the
June Term of the Superior Court.
The next grand jury will be called upon
to recommend for appointment by the
Judge of the Superior Court one Notary
Public for each of the militia districts of
Chatham county. When appointed, these
Notaries will be commissioned by the
Governor for the term of four years, and
will Ik? ex-officio Justices of the Peace.
There are eight militia districts in this
county, four of (which —the;first, second,
third and fburtn—are in the city of
Savannah. The applicants for the office
in the First district are Michael Naughtin.
the present incumbent, John A. Staley and
G. E. Bevins. Mr. Naught in has served
in the office for which he seeks a reap
pointment andisexperienced in itsduties.
Mr. Staley was a Justice of the Peace in
Savannah a number of years ago, while
Mr. Bevins is a young lawyer who has
many friends, andwould no doubt fill the
office acceptably.
In the Second district Waring Russell,
Jr., and Robert J. Wade are applicants.
Both these gentlemen are experienced in
the duties of the position.
The applicants trom the Third district
are R. A. Wayne, W. D. Oliveira, Levi S.
Hart and R. A. Pollard.
In the Fourth district Justice S. El
singer and Albert Jackson, colored, are
candidates,
Bishop in "Widow Bedott.”
Mr. C. B. Bishop will open an engage
ment at the theatre to-night in Nasby’s
comedy, “‘Widow Bedott.” The company
appeared in Charleston last night in a
benefit for the Confederate Orphan Home,
and will play here two nights and a mati
nee. The play is well known. Mr.
Bishop needs no introduction. A well
known critic who saw the play recently
in Washington said: "When a man plays
a woman's part, it goes without saying
that the particular female represented Is
apt to be decidedly masculine in her char
acteristics. It does not need the polished
skill of a Chevalier D’Eon to counterfeit
the personality of the Widow Bedott. Mr.
Bishop plays it with an unction and volu
bility that no woman could possibly throw
into the part, causing great laughter and
much applause.”
THE WORLD'S EXPOSITION
WHAT COMMISSIONER BACON
SAYS ABOUT IT.
The Washington Meeting and Its Re
sults—Georgia’* Exhibit and How it
will be Organised—What Is Being Done
In Adjoining States.
Hon. D. C. Bacon. United States Com
missioner of Georgia to the World s Ex
position. was called upon by a Morning
News reporter upon hi? return from
Washington. Mr. Bacon left Savannah last
week for the purpose of visiting Nashville
and Raleigh, to confer with the commis
sioners of Tennessee and North Carolina.
Upon his return trom Nashville, where
he was in conference with Commis
sioner McWhorter, he was called to
Washington to attend a meeting of
State and Territorial Commissioners, for
the purpose of exchanging views ami
of recommending a uniform plan to
govern the accumulation am. display of
the collections of State exhibts. “This."
said Commissioner Bacon, “has been a
great obstacle in the way of arranging
any definite plan. No one was aware
what constituted a State exhibit. The
result of the meeting was the adoption ot
a method ot collection and installation ol
exhibits, defining just what constitutes a
State displav. For instance, products of
the farms, ’forests, mines, quarries and
fisheries, all the natural resources and
manufactures, rfnd regulating their ar
rangement at the exposition.”
-What are the prospects for a display
compared with the Philadelphia Exposi
tion of 1876?”
“It will far exceed it. All the States
and Territories are represented by com
missioners except New Jersey. That
State, however, will be represented in the
exposition, and more States have already
made application for space than at Phila
delphia. The United States Government
display will be far greater and double the
number of foreign countries will be repre
sented. The Washington meeting was an
evidence of the volume of the
display that will be made.
Twenty-eight States and Territories
were represented and the mem tiers of the
United States Board, created under the
executive order to represent the govern
ment departments and bureaus, were also
present and took part in the delibera
tions.” _
“What organization has been effected
in Georgia to prepare an exhibit?”
“ The organization includes, besides the
State Commissioner, District Commis
sioners from each Congressional district
and Countv Commissioners for each
countv. The District Commissioners
have all been appointed and about three
fourths of the County Commissioners,
Hon. James M. Couper, ot Brunswick,
representing the First district.”
“What appointments of County Com
missioners have been made in this dis
trict?”
“All the counties southwest of the Al
tamaba are represented and Mclntosh on
the north. The County Commissioners
are appointed upon recommendation of
the District Commissioners. No appoint
ment has vet been wade for Chatham.”
-How is the cost of the exhibit from
Georgia to be sustained?”
•*ln the inability of the General Assem
bly, through constitutional provisions, to
grant an appropriation for" the
purpose, the Commissioners have, after
deliberation, concluded that a fund based
upon an assessment of 2 per cent, upon
the State tax of each county which, for
the wealthiest county, would calllfor about
$1,500. and from the ’smallest county not
more than about $4O. will organize an ex
hibit of which the State will be proud.
The extent of the display will depend
wholly unon the efforts of the Commission
ers in’the various parts of the State.
“What will be the general nature of the
Georgia exhibit?”
-ft will include chiefly natural pro
ducts. With her varied and extensive
territory and rich soil, her high lauds and
low lands, her mountains filled with ore
and her interior with forests and with ex
tensive manufactures, Georgia is able,
above all States in the South, to make a
presentation that will merit and receive
the admiration of the world.”
“What progress is being made in ad
joining States towards exhibits?”
“In South Carolina, Commissioner But
ler. who is also Commissioner of Agri
culture, is actively at work, and promises
an exhibit of which the State may be
proud.”
“What is being done in North Caro
lina?”
“Commissioner Howard, with Professor
Charles tv. Dabney, of the Agricul
tural Department, are ener
getically at work, and her
exhibit promises to rank among the most
extensive of any yet heard from. With
an adequate fund upon which to draw,
and with no necessity for aD appropria
tion, North Carolina has an ad
vantage which few States possess. The
famous exhibits at Boston and Louisville,
which attracted so much attention, were
organized by Prof. Dabney. Fifteen thou
sand dollars was expended npon the Bos
ton exhibit, and with resuits which are
clearly to be seen. The pro
ducts of the State, arranged
with careful attention, not only in their
magnificence displayed its resources
and attracted immigration within its
borders, but at the same time prevented
emigration.”
“What is being done in Florida?”
“I was surprised to read in the corre
spondence of the Morning News that
Florida would make no displayln the
commissioners conference at Washing
ton Commissioner Sebring stated that
Florida would not only require all the
space that was allotted to her in the Ex
position building, but would require ad
ditional space for her horticultural ex
hibit.”
Commissioner Bacon will leave for At
lanta to-night on business connected with
the Exposition.
THE CITY COURT.
Disposition of an Interesting Case.
This court met yesterday morning at 10
o’clock, when the case of Thomas J.
Oates vs. The Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company of Georgia was tried on an
action of assumpsit and a verdict render
ed for the defendant. In the case ot James
W. McAlpin and Aaron C. McAlpin, ex
ecutors of the will of Aaron
Champion, deceased, vs. Estes &
McAlpin, a verdict was rendered for
the plaintiff in the sum of $12,830, to be
levied of the firm's assets and of the in
dividual assets ot said Aaron C. McAlpin.
A special verdict was also rendered in
lavor of the plaintiffs against Aaron C.
McAlpin for the sum of $12,530, and the
further sum of $1,283 on account of at
torneys’ fees to he levied on the remaining
interest of said Aaron C. McAlpin in the
estate of Aaron Champion, deceased, a6
conveyed to said plaintiffs by said Aaron
C. McAlpin by the deed in 9aid declara
tion mentioned.
The next case called was that of the
Chattahoochee National Bank of the
county of Muscogee against Estes & Mc-
Alpin'. This was an action on an accepted
draft. Judgment was rendered for the
plaintiff against Aaron C. McAlpin
and against the property of
the firm of Estes & McAlpin, for $203
principal, $2 37 interest and the costs of
suit. The court then adjourned until this
morning at 10 o’clock, at which hour the
grand jury of the court will also meet.
THE STRAWBERRY MARKET.
A Drop in Price* Looked for After To-
Day.
A decline in the price of strawberries
in the local market is looked for after to
day. The shipments from the Charleston
fields to the Northern markets closed yes
terday and will be turned in this direc
tion.
A well known fruit dealer said last
night to a Morning News reporter that
by Saturday the market will be flooded
with berries at 15 cents per box. There
was no decline yesterday, but as soon as
the shipments begin to be received there
will necessarily follow a tumble in prices.
The fields In the vicinity of Savannah are
not filling the market at present. So far
as can lie learned the shipments from the
Florida and Charleston fields have been
very satisfactory.
In Favor of Lane*.
Savannah, May 15. —Editor Morning
yews: I noticed in your issue of yester
day an article denouncing lanes as not
being the lungs, but the intestinals of the
city.
Is there to be no entry to those places
where are to be our stables? _ Are
our scavenger carts to blockade our
streets and impede the general business
of our city? Are they to convey all
kitchen refuse and nauseous matter
through our dwellings, or( in some cases)
through our stores? Or are we to keep
this stench at our back doors, without the
breezes which a lane affbrds to ventilate
it? . .
With the lanes open there is not so
much chance for criminals escaping vigi
lance as there would be if they were closed,
because there has to be other entry than
the front door to those places. And how
often have we heard visitors to our beau
tiful city remark about the utility of those
lanes?
With our lanes open our police should
be vigilant in seeing that all stench
should be removed, if there be any. as
soon as discovered, and their efficiency is
shown for good.' Forest City.
Not a store in the United States will
give you more for your money than the

THE EFFINGHAM LYNCHING.
The Negro Clark. Who Was Chalned’to
Grady, Tell* How It Wa* Done.
Henry Jones, George Clark, Prince Loff
ter and J. C. Barber were brought to Sa
vannah yesterday from Effingham county
and lodged in jail.
Barber is a white man. under indictment
for horse-stealing. At the recent sitting
of the Superior Court in that county he
was placed on trial, but the jury was
unable to agree and a mistrial was de
clared.
Loffter was convicted of an assault with
intent to murder, and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for teu years.
George Clark was found guilty of hog
stealing, and was sentenced for two
years.
Clark and Loffter are awaiting the ar
rival of the guard to take them to the
penitentiary.
Henry Jones was sentenced to twelve
months" on the Chatham county chain
gang.
The prisoner Clark is the negro who
was chained to Hardy Grady, who was
lynched on Monday night. He
is a tall, full-chested black
man. He stated to a reporter of the
Morning News yesterday that he was
sick while at Effingham court on Monday
and was cbalm.Hr to Grady nearly the
entire day. and hence when he was
obliged to* leave the court house, Grady
being fastened to hire by a trace chain
five or six feet long, followed, both under
iruard. Grady was sentenced about
noon, and during the morning confessed
that he had committed the crime
tor which he was sentenced. After ad
mitting the perpetration of the crime
Clark says that many came into the court
bouse aud took a good looli at.him aud
went away. "That night about 12 o’clock,”
he went "on to say. "I was compelled
to go out door. Grady asked the guard
not to take him out. It was a dim moon
light night. They reassured him by
telling him they were going out
with him. and would protect
him. We went about 200 feet from
the court house down to the edge of a
swamp. 1 lay down while Grady was
standing up. The guard stood, about 30
feet away. Near me was a fence corner.
While we were there we saw a man sneak
up on one side and look at us, and beard
a voice farther off ask in a kind of whis
per, “Is he there?” "Yes, he is there,”
said the other in a loud whisper. Imme
diately after a man having a long
rope in three coils and a noose, rushed up
to within three or four feet of Grady and
lassooed him with such a powerful jerk
backwards and to one side that the man
with the rope fell on his knees with his
back to Grady, while Grady fell on his
shoulder. By "the time he got on his leet
again a large number of men had seized
the rest of the rope and Grady was
dragged along to a tree, near which
was a sapling. The rope was passed
around the trunk of the sapling and
given another jerk, and I am satisfied that
Grady was dead then; they afterwards
threw the rope over the limb and hung
hint up. He never spoke after the first
jerk. The party had seized the guards,
Smith and Usher, when they captured us,
and after Grady was hung, they brought
Usher up and made him unlock me from
Grady. The men’s faces seemed to be
covered with long hanging moss. They
did not disguise their voices. After I was
unlocked they took me to a larger crowd
of men, and addressing one of them as
"Judge,” asked him if they should deliver
me tb the guard. The "Judge" nodded
his head in the affirmative, and when I
was taken to the guard they told them to
take good care of me, or they would be
held responsible.”
A Disconsolate Cat.
A well-known gentleman of this city
owned up to within a few days ago two
nearly full grown kittens that were in the
habit of running and pilaying through the
halls and on the stairways of his house at
all times of the night. He decided that one
of the kittens should be given away. Last
Wednesday morning the decision was
carried out, when the remaining leliue re
fused to eat anything and went about the
house mewing and looking for hermissiug
companion, at times curling up in a cor
ner with her paws over her face as though
deeply grieved and disconsolate.
On Saturday forenoon she dived
head foremost into a tub of water
and tried to drown herself. The
inmates of the house tempted her to eat
and drink, but she would have nothing.
On Sunday morning she was discovered
dead, having since the previous Tuesday
persistently refused to eat anything, and
died of starvation and grief.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near aud Afar.
The Directors of the Sylvania Railroad
Company held a meeting at Millen, on
Wednesday last. A resolution was
adopted for the opening of a book for sub
scriptions to the increased stock of the
company and appointing a committee with
authority to advertise for sealed proposals
to let the work of grading out to the low
est bidder on the 3d of June next. They
are confident that ample lunds will be
controlled to warrant the commencement
of the work on this end of the road by the
middle of June at latest.
Louisville Courier-Journal : A rather
important move in railroad circles was
consummated at New York last Saturday
by which the East Tennessee, Virginia
aiid Georgia road secures entrance into
Cincinnati over the Louisville and Nash
ville tracks from Jellico to Livingston,
and from there over the Kentucky Cen
tral division of the Chesapeake and Ohio
to Cincinnati. The terms of the contract
have not been made public, but it is
thought this agreement will cover passen
ger business as well as freight. It was ru
mored some months since that the E. TANARUS.,
V. and G. wanted to get up into that
section over the Kentucky Central, and
had made overtures for the purchase of
an interest in the Kentucky Central with
that object in view. Mr. Huntington,
owning the controlling interest, declined
to sell, and the plan was ostensibly drop
ped. It appears, however, that the East
Tennessee people, when they found they
could not buy the road, set up another
plan of attack, and proposed to lease or
rent the right to run over the tracks. To
this scheme the Kentucky Central people
listened, and the contract referred to is
the result. It is understood the Cincin
nati Southern bridge will be used for the
present, and perhaps permanently.

Much Ado About Nothing.
The above heading of our advertisement
is a quotation in one of Shakespeare's
plays. But we take the liberty of using
it in reference to all this foul advertising.
For instance, one will claim he is selling
beloic cost , and the other he or they are
the largest clothing house in the city, or,
in other words, as much as to say will
give you their goods and give you a
bisket to carry them away in, and all
such blowing, "which does not amount to
a row of pins. We can not afford to give
our goods, nor sell tfiem at cost, for we
must live. But our past reputation for
fair and honest dealing guarantees our
future. It is true we advertise, and that
extensively, but do not say more than we
can justly come up to. We only adver
tise to let the public knew we are still
alive and in the Clothing and Gents’
Furnishing Goods business. B. H. Levy

The Election on Saturday.

desire to trespass on your space briefly,

ger in connection therewith.
A bet B the finest suit of clothes in

elected. B then wagered A one of Simon

date that could be put forward. Will you
kindly inform me in your next issue as to
the merits of these wagers?
A contends that the best suit in Simon
Mitchell’s store will make the wearer of
it the best dressed man in Savannah. B
avers that Mitchell’s patterns and fits will
beat anything. I maintain that you can
get as "line a Mackinaw or other Straw
Hat. Underwear, Neckwear, etc., at Simon
Mitchell’s, sigpi of the Golden Arm, 159

where in Savannah, and for less money.

TROUBLES OF A YOUNG WIFE.
She Charge* Persecution Upon Her Aged
Husband and He Appeal* to the
Court*.
PKilotUlrhiti Times, Mav IS.
West Spruce street has a sensation of
its own. Lemuel H. Davis, an elderly
and very wealthy resident of Riverton,
N. J.. arrived in this citv on Friday last,
and with his wife, Mary H., and two chil
dren, L. Howell and Bertha M. Davis,
took quarters at the Bingham House. He
came by way of Old Point Comfort, Ya.,
from Savannah. Ga., where he had been
spending the winter with his family.
On Saturday Mrs. Davis went with her
children to visit some relatives in Cam
den. On the same day Mr. Davis ap
peared before her and accused her of re
moving the children from his authority.
The accusation was made with sufficient
emphasis to induce Mrs. Davis, a woman
of 30, whose hair has turned gray in the
eight years since she was married in Cali
fornia. to seek protection from her first
cousin, Joseph S. Patterson, of 101 l Spruce
street, well known in the iron trade. Mrs.
Davis was received with her children, but
without any clothing except that which
they wore. The rest, they allege, Mr.
Davis had retained.
Sunday night Mr. Davis followed his
family and desired admittance with an
emphasis, which went so far as to threat
en to remove the front wall of 1511 Spruce
street. He was denied an entrance, and
yesterday obtained a writ of habeas cor
pus for the custody of his children, which
is returnable on Friday.
Mr. Davis has. it is believed, .returned
to Riverton. According to his wife's
statement, his emphasis toward her has
culminated through degrees of persecu
tion to her employment in the South of W.
Grayson Mann, of Savannah, as her coun
sel, who, in company with Theodore C.
Patterson, will attend to her interests in
the Quarter Sessions of this city.
A Card.
In consequence of the general stagna
tion in business the jewelry trade has to
bear its share, and many importers and
manufacturers have been trying to realize
on the stock to meet their payments, 1
have been able to secure several lots of
Ladies’ and Gents’ Watches and various
assorted lots of Jewelry at a considerable
reduction from usual prices. Yet, to car
ry this additional stock is not profitable
at all. The only way to make anything
of these purchases, is if I can again un
load, hence I will offer ganuine bargains
in these goods. I intend to sell them at
manufacturers’ and importers’ actual
cost, which will leave me a fair margin
and afford my patrons unusual chances
to secure excellent goods at low prices.

In the pressure incident to supplying the

the difficulties naturally arising in starting up

it will be the policy of this company to pur
sue. If any such cases exist, they w’ill confer
a special favor by reporting promptly to the
office of the company, aud not to employes.
No matter what may be the nature of the
