It has been suggested that Twelfth street, the southern boundary of the city extension, be opened through from the Ogeechee road to the Waters road. The County Commissioners might give the city the services of a part of the convict force to grade the street.

HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEV EN BALLOTS TAREX, The Eden Convention Adjourn* With out a Choice—Fighting the Contest on Territorial Issu?*— Capt. Falligant, Coi. Bird and Mr. Smith the Candi dates—The Outlook for a Nomination To-Day. The Senatorial situation in the First district is yet full of uncertainty. The Eden Convention met yesterday at noon, and at 9 o’clock last night, having failed to agree upon a nomination after 557 bal lots, adjourned until noon to-day. The contest has reached a most interesting stage# No one familiar with the po litical events of the First district during the past few years and the contest of two vears ago can fail to appreciate the extent to which old antagonisms and personal, as well as sectional, issues en ter into the fight. The contest two years ago was hot enough between Morgan Rawls and Peter W. Meldrim. The district had been shaken up by them, severally and collectively. No part of it had been too remote for their friends to reach, and no individual with the slightest influence had been left unvisited. With that contest in mind, and with a number of the same delegates in the convention, the present fight was entered into with a determina tion of purpose strengthened by expe rience. Although a spirited convention was an ticipated it was the general belief that a nomination would be reached without an adjournment. The Cnatham delegation went up on the early train and reached Eden about 11 o’clock. The convention met at noon in the Central Railroad ware house. and was called to order by Col. Edward Bird, Chairman of the Effingham countv Democracy. Dr. W.T. McCon nell, of Effingham, was made Temporary Chairman, and B. H. Richardson, of Chatham, Temporary Secretary. The cre dentials of the delegations from fce three counties composing the district were submitted. There were no contesting delegations, and the following were ad mitted to seats in the convention: BRYAN. R. F. C. Smith, Thos. C. Morgan. CHATHAM. D.C. Bacon, H. M. Comer, Charles Kolshorn, A. R. Lawton, Jr., B. H. Richardson, J. C. DeLettre. EFFINGHAM. W. T. McConnell, Angus Bird. A permanent organization was effected bv the election of the Temporary Chair man and Secretary as permanent officers. As soon as the organization was com plete, Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, moved that the counties be called for the pre sentation of candidates. Mr. Smith, of Bryan, believed that be fore anv business was brought before the convention the rules governing the ballot 6hould lie determined. He moved the adoption of the two-thirds rule in ballot ing for candidates and the parliamentary usages of tno House of Representa tives for the general government of p® The motion was carried. Mr. Lawtou, who, in dtdereml'lWwOlr. Smith,had withdrawn his v-j’h the call of counties, a-rairresJ” and it was carried. >ir r 3%i When Chatham call Mr. Lawton, in a handsome pre sented to the convention the name ot Capt. Robert Falligant. In doing so he was conscious of the honor that de \olved upon him in naming a gentleman who was not only known in Chatham, Bryan and Effingham counties, but throughout the whole State. He was aware of his ability to represent the in terests ot Savannah, of the other counties composing the district, and the entire commonwealth. He had received the indorsement of Chatham county by an overwhelming vote, and it was with a teeling of extreme pride that he had been called u(hjii to present to the convention a man so high-minded, so public-spirited and so thoroughly able and competent to repre sent all the interests of the First Sena torial district. Mr. Bird, of Effingham, presented the name of John W. Wilson. On the first ballot Bryan and Effingham voted for Mr. Wilson and Chatham for Mr. Falligant. The result was: Falligant 0, Wilson 4. When Brvan county was called for the second ballot Mr. Morgan presented to the convention tbe name ot Henry E. Smith, an old, tried and true Democrat, and a man whom he believed to be in every way competent to represent the in terests of the district. He cast the vote of Bryan county in his favor. Chatham cast its vote solid for Capt. Falligant and Effingham for Mr. Wilson. On the third ballot Mr. Bird withdrew the name ot Mr. Wilson, and cast the vote of Effingham for Mr. Smith. The ballot then stood: .Falligant 6, Smith 4, The fourth ballot was the same as the third, and up to the sixty-first it continued un changed. It began to look like a repetition of the persistent balloting in the Congres sional convention which nominated Hon. Thomas M. Norwood in July. The situa tion was a deadlock. It was seen at once that no nomination could be made unless either the friends of Capt. Falligant or Mr. Smith yielded so far as to allow the seventh vote to be cast in favor of the oil position candidate. When the sixty-first ballot had been an nounced Mr. Morgan said in behalf of the delegation from Bryan that he had come to the convention determined to abide by Democratic principles. He could see nothing to lie gained in the balloting as it had progftssed thus tar, and he there fore withdrew the name of Mr. Smith. Mr. K. F. C. Smith then placed before the convention the name of Col. Edward Bird, of Effingham. The sixty-second ballot was taken re sulting: Falligant 6, Bird 4—Chatham holding firm to her candidate. Tbe situation began to resolve itself into a test of endurance. Neither delega tion manifested any disposition to yield to the other, and the balloting con tinued with the same result until the one hundredth ballot had been announced, when a recess was taken. A caucus was held and an effort was made to unite upon either one or the other of the candidates. The effort was a failure, and balloting was resumed and continued up to the ouq hundred and twenty-filth ballot with the same result. On the one hundred and twenty-sixth ballot Bryan county cast its vote again for Smith, and the Chairman’s call of Smith 2, Falligant 6. Bird 2, kept up until the two hundredth ballot was reached, when the convention adjourned for din ner. It was believed that this would harmonize the opposing elements and that a nomination would be shortly 1 -ached. But it proved not to be the case. The issue was like that in the Congres sional Convention—altogether sec tional. The country claimed the right by rotation to name the nominee. Chatham, with its great inter ests at stake, and with a candidate in dorsed by the county by an overwhelming vote, stood equally firm in tbe belief that the right ot nomination belonged to it. Up to the adjournment for dinner the bal loting had progressed quietly and with no speeches beyond those made in pre- the candidates, to urge their claims for tbe nomination. After dinner the contesting delegations met in caucus and attempted to effect a compromise whereby a nomination could be reached. It was seen at once that this was impossible, and balloting was re sumed. The Chairman and Secretary be tran to tire of the work, which devolved heavily upon them, and Mr. Lawton took the chair with Mr. DeLettre Secretary. On the two hundred and forty-first ballot Chatham cast one vote for Smith and five for Falligant, making the ballot: Smith 3, Falligant 5, Bird 2. On the next ballot Effingham went over to Smith, making the vote a lie between the Chatham and Bryan county candi dates. On the two hundred and fiftv tirst ballot Chatham cast two votes for Smith. As the Chairman announced, “Smith 6, Falligant 4,’’ it began to look as though things were coming to a focus. Mr. Smith needed but one more vote to secure the nomination, and his friends were elated over his probable choice. The vote continued in this way up to the two hundred and fifty-ninth ballot, when Chatham wfcnt back to Falligant and Bryan's hopes were blasted. Effingham dropped back to Bird, and the two hun dredth and sixtv-tirst ballot stood: Smith 2, Chatham 6, Effingham 2. On the very next ballot Chatham went over to Bird with 1 vote. Bryan followed suit and the two hundred aud sixty-sixth ballot stood 5 and 5 between Falligant and Bird. It continued this way for some time, when Chatham went back to her first choice. The situation was clearly one to be determined only by sitting it out till one or the other delegations yielded. After a steady vote without any indica tions of a change beyond the occasional coquetting of Chatham between Bryan and Effingham, a recess was taken. The contesting delegations again met in cau cus, but were able to accomplish noth ing toward an adjustment of the differ ences that existed. . ... When the three hundred and thirteenth ballot bad been announced, Maj. Bacon inquired, on behalf of the Chatham dele gation. what objection there was to Capt. Falligant as the choice of the convention. He had heard it whispered that there were serious objections to him, and he wanted to know what they were. Mr. Smith, of Bryan, to whom the re quest of Maj. Bacon was addressed, said he had not been authorized by the liryan delegation or the Effingham delegation to speak for them, and whatever he should say would be in his own behalf'. So far as he knew there was not one single ele ment of unkindly feeling In the conven tion towards Capt. Falligant. The issue he did not regard a personal issue, but he charged that the principles adopted by Chatham had drawn tbe line between Chatham and the country- Ever since the First Senatorial district was organized, twenty-four years ago, he said the Senator had been from Chatham, but now the time had come when the rotation rule should be acquiesced in. He voted against Capt. Falligant not because he had the slightest feeling of unkindness to ward him, but because he believed it right that the country should have its just rights and be accorded the voice of the nomina tion. He did not believe because Chatham had the majority and the power to elect at the polls, that in justice, equity and right it should have the power to dictate to the country what it should do. So Ur as any report’s against Capt. Falligant’s character and honor, he knew of none, and in his mind Cant. Falligant needed no vindication. Mr. Lawton differed with Mr. Smith on the question of sectional issues. He be lieved Mr. Smith’s objections on that ground to be defeated by his own words. On the first ballot Bryan and Effingham voted for Mr. Wilson, a Chatham county man. He believed the issue to have a deeper sig nificance than that. Be pointed to Chat ham county as the only county in the State with a majority of the votes in the Senatorial district. As tq Chatham dic tating to the couutry, he asked what method would it have been most likely to adopt in the organization—the majority rule—with a precedent in the State Convention and in forty-three Senatorial districts in the State. It was not the purpose of Chatham to gag the other counties in the district or it would hay© been most likely to have done so at ttlG oUtß6t ‘ Mr. Smith explained why the votes of Brvan and Effingham were cast for Mr. Wilson. It was because he was born and reared with them that they felt it their privilege and their duty and right to give him their vote, and they did. so. If Chatham, he said, had given him their voice he would have been the nominee of the convention. The balloting was again resumed, and up to the three hundred and twenty-fifth ballot it stood, Smith 2, Fal ligant 6, Bird 2. The work of the convention by this time had begun to be tiresome, and only those required to cast the vote of their delega tion remained in the building. The others disposed of themselves to the best ad vantage and their comtort. Another re cess was finally taken, after which the balloting was begun again, and continued essentially unchanged until the four hun dredth ballot had been announced. It began to grow dark in the warehouse, and, there being no lights, another recess was taken. The Secretary had exhausted the available supply of stationery, and a recruiting expedition was organized to replenish supplies. JTpon convening at 7 o’clock Maj. Bacon, in order to obtain the views of the candidates upon issues likely to be brought before the next session of tne Legislature, moved that each of the candidates present be in vited to address the convention, and that one of the Chatham delegation represent Capt. Falligant in his absence. The mo tion was carried, and Maj. Bacon and H. M. Comer were appointed a committee to extend the candidates the courtesies of the floor. Mr. Smith, the candidate of Bryan county, was invited to the floor. He re viewed the history of the First Senatorial district from its formation. If lie should be the choice of the convention, and should be elected to the Legislature, it would be his purpose to promote a 11 public measures that he believed to be right and just. The question of the sale of the State Itoad would be likely to come up before the next Legislature. He was opposed to its sale. He was also rigidly opposed to the Railroad Commission. He had no idea taat there would be any chance for a re peal of the bill, but he believed the power cf the Commission, now arbitrary, should be modified. He was in lavor of guarding the State Treasury. He was op posed to appropriating the State’s money to equip the State militia to orna ment "the streets of cities and towns by parades. He did not profess to be a law yer, nor to have a legal education, but he did profess to have some knowledge of legislation, and he believed no man could carry into the Senate chamber a heart more honest In intent than he. Mr. Lawton, so far as he was acquaint ed with Capt. Falligani’s views of legisla tive affairs, outlined his position. He was unable to speak authoritatively in regard tu his views on the Railroad Commission, but he could quote his position in regard lo the military movement that was springing up all over the State with a view to securing the advancement ol the militia, and its better and more adequate equipment as the bulwark of the State’s safety. Col. Bird stood where he understood Capt. Falligant to stand on the Railroad Commission and the military movement. The former he believed should have its powers curtailed. He believed it to be always the State’s duty to aid and en courage the military. After the speeches by the candidates de fining their position, balloting was resumed and continued until four hun dred and eighty ballots were taken. Mr. Kolshorn at this juncture said it might not be known that he went into the mass meeting from which he was sent to the convention as a Wilson man. He was a supporter of Mr. Wilson from the first, but he believed it to be the duty of every true Democrat to abide by the ma jority. That was the reason he was there mr Capt. Falligant. He should vote for him as long as he remained in the con vention, and when he retired he would find an alternate who would vote for him in his stead. Mr. Smith said that the leverage of the Chatham delegation seemed to be the Democratic principle that the majority must rule and that in this instance the predominant vote of Chatham county should disfranchise the other two coun ties of the district. He was not tied to any particular candi date, hut be was tied to what he believed to be right. The entire issue he charged to a spirit of animosity on the part of Chatham county. He was not in the convention to support either Smith, Falligant, or Bird, but he was there to stand for what he believed to be justice, and that he claimed to be the right of the country to name the nominee. Numerous speeches were made by dele gates from all the counties, but without influencing a nomination. On the five hundred and fifty-seventh ballot the con vention adjourned until noon to-day. The feeling between Chatham and the country was very strong throughout the entire session. Neither of the opposing delegations showed any inclination to yield, and at the adjeurnment the convention was ap parently no nearer a nomination than when it organized. It is thought that a nomination will be reached to-day before as many ballots are taken as yesterday, but who will be the nominee is a question concerning which it is difficult tq specu late. The country delegations claim what they believe to be their just rights and Chatham remains solid for her first choice. Charged with Neglect of Duty. Capt. L. H. Soule, of the schooner Flor ence J. Allen, yesterday made a com plaint before United States Commissioner Erwin against George Baker, a white man, who was employed as cook on the vessel, charging him with neglect of duty. A warrant was issued for Baker, when he was arrested by Deputy Marshal Ilall and committed to jail to await an examination 1 .efore the Commissioner this morning at 10 o’clock. According to the statement made by the Captain, Baker was shipped as a cook, and while the vessel was at sea on the run to this port, about two days ago, he refused to do any more cooking. The prisoner told the Commissioner that he did not sign articles as a cook until after the vessel had got to sea, aud that the reason he refused to cook was that the stove in the galley was in bad order and smoked everything up, and that he got discouraged with the work. Railroad Loan Association. The thirteenth regular meeting of the Railroad Mutual Eoau Association was .held last evening, when loans to the amount of $O,OOO were made at 49 per cent, premium. The following are the officers and Board of Directors: President—Wm. Rogers. Treasurer—R. E. Mims. . Secretary and Treasurer—H. C. Cun ningham. Directors —E. Mclntyre, H. F. Train, R. B. Reppard, W. S. King, G. N. Nichols, Win. Kehoe, W. W. Rogers and A. R. Lawton, Jr. Awaiting Trial for Burglary. Among the prisoners who were ar raigned in the Mayor’s Court yesterday was a negro named John Ayers, who was arrested by the police Sunday morning at the instance of Henry Williams, who found Ayers in his room under suspicious circumstances, the prisoner having re ceived no permission from Williams to enter his apartment, and being unable to give a satisfactory account of himself or explanation of his conduct. The Mayor sent the prisoner to jail on a commitment charging him with burglary, to await trial in the Supreme Court. H. L. Schreiner, the veteran musician and dealer of Savannah, Ga., and stalwart agent of the Knabe and Gabler pianos, in formed us last week that he “imports his medium-priced instruments from Europe, for the reason that he can obtain better goods forth® money than he could pur chase from any of our stencil makers.” He has “tried the experiment for several years and has found it entirely satisfac tory to himself and customers.” Mr. Schreiner believes that “the day-s of the stencil pianos, with their wretched work manship, are numbered in the American market.”—American Art Journal. A STEAM BIRD. A Machine for Navigating tha Air—Mr. Talmage’* Invention to Supply a Long Felt Want. Savannah has an inventor who thinks he has solved the problem of serial naviga tion. The invention, which is to make traveling easy, and give every traveler his own “direct air-line, shortest route” to wherever business or pleasure may di rect his footsteps—or, rather, his wings— is a flying machine, or a “Steam Bird.” The inventor is Mr. C. R. Talmage, a ma chinist of this city. He submitted his drawings to a reporter of the Morning News yesterday. The mechanical parts of the machine are verv simple. Mr. Talmage is of the opinion that he has complied with the re quirements laid down by Park Benjamin on the subject, namely, that the problem ot aerial navigation "will take its place among human achievements when an ap paratus is invented to accomplish the work of a bird’s wings and tail, and au engine invented that is capable of supply ing the necessary power, with compara tively little weight, The Talmage flying machine is appa rently a simple combination of levers by which a perpendicular motion is secured, and at the same time a lateral movement is given to an immense pair of wings, the frame of which is made of bamboo cane, thus combining lightness with strength and flexibility. The upward movement of the wings is relieved of the pressure of air bv a mechanical contrivance for lift ing the material which takes the place of the feather, and as the downward move ment takes place, these feathers close, presenting a solid resisting force to the atmosphere, giving the machine its up ward and onward flight. Levers to the wings are moved by a crank which is worked by a wheel driven by a steam en gine. It is proposed to use an engine which will give l-horse power to every 15 pounds dead weight. An engine of this kind was exhibited at the Aeronautical Exhibition of ISGs. It is calculated that the machine, complete with engine, hoiler and fuel, will weigh 800 pounds. With the wings mak ing 80 “flaps” to the minute it is estimated that they will have a lifting capacity of 3,800 pounds, leaving a reserve power of 3,000 pounds for carrying passengers and freight. The inventor says a machine can be built for about $5,000, and he is positive that it will work. The reporter suggested to Mr. Tal mage that it would be rather dis agreeable to the passengers in the flying machine if the engine should break a crank pin or the wings get caught while flapping, or the tail gearing refuse to act. He replied that accidents were liable to occur to everything. If anv person would like to go in part nership with Mr. Tjilinage in his inven tion they can have an interview drop ping him a line through the post office. HORSFORD’S ACID PHOSPHATE A Good Thing. Dr. Adam Miller, Chicago, 111., says: “I have recommended llorsford’s Acid Phosphate to my patients, and have re ceived very favorable reports. It is one of the very few really valuable prepara tions now offered to the afflicted. In a practice of thirty-five years I have found a few good, thiugs. and this is one of them.” At EstlU’s News Depot.

No “baits” or “decoy” offers. We expect to make a permanent customer of every caller, and to do that we propose to send those who do not know us away with an impression that will bring them hack again. We would rather let our goods lay on our shelves and counters unsold than to have anyone think that they had been ill treated or deceived.

MISS VERNE'S BENEFIT. An Excellent Performance Last Might— A Handsome Testimonial from the Ford*. A large audience assembled in the Ford’s Opera House last night, the oc casion being a performance given by the Thomas W. Keene Dramatic Association for the benefit of Miss Florrie Verne. Miss Verne appeared as “Kathleen O’Con nor,” supported by Mr. Frank Readick as “Terence O’Moore,” In the beautiful domestic four-act Irish drama, Kathleen Mavourneen. The rendition of the character of “Kathleen O’Conner,” was a piece of acting which showed Miss Verne’s thorough analysis of the part, the emotional passages in the third and fourth acts being faithfully delineated and re peatedly applauded. Bhe was strongly supported by Mr. Readick, who acted with decided spirit and captivated the audi ence. His appearance in the murder scene where he saves Kathleen was greeted by round after round of applause. The other members ot the association were prompt, and by their rendition of the other characters in the cast delighted the audience. During the performance of the fourth act Manager Durbec advanced to “Ter ence O’Moore” and requested permission to address his bride, “Kathleen O’Con ner.” Mr. Readick, who had just finished a sentence, did not apparently under stand the motive lor the interruption for the moment, but it flashed across his mind that his acquiescence was impera tively necessary, when he gave his assent. Mr. Durbec then said: Miss Florrie Verne: The Ford Dramatic Association, appreciating your services on many occasions when they gave entertain ments, have deputized me to present you a slight token of theiresteem, and therefore, in their name, I beg your acceptance of this fifty dollar bill. The applause which followed this ad dress continued for some minutes, during which Miss Verne recovered in a measure from her surprise and said: I do not know how I could have merited such a high compliment, but I take this op portunity to return my heartfelt thanks to the Ford Dramatic Association for the un expected testimonial, I am unprepared to say more, hence permit me again and again to thank the donors for their gilt.
