AT IBK THE THEATRE.
••The Plantet’s Wife” Before a Fine
Aodience Last Night.
A fine audience, in spite of the bad
weather, witnessed "The Planter's Wife"
last night. The play was enthusiastically
received. It is a story of the war, and
was considered a good play when it was
presented here last year, but since then
some changes have been made in it; and
it is now one of the best dramas that
has been her- 1 in a long time. It is
founded upon fact, and therefore histori
cal as well dramatically interesting.
Mr. Lacy's acting in the third
and fourth acts was wonderfully strong,
in fac*. a revelation to all who had only
seen him previously in light comedy
characters. As —Col. Graham,” he is a
forcible actor, and with Miss Carey as
“Edith Grev," Miss Sawyer as "IK>ra."
Miss Hawthorn as “Engle, too young to
have l*eau.,” Mr. Sidney Drew as
“Simeon simeo." isstrongly supported.
HINTING IP A JUSTICE.
The United States Court to Convene a*
Soon as * Presiilins >1 ud|;e Can be Ob
tained.
The adjourned term of the United States
District Court, which was to have con
vened in savannah to-day, will be con
vened later in the week if a Judge can be
obtained. United States District Attorney
Darnell has asked both Judge settle, of
the Northern district, and Judge Locke,
of the Southern district of Florida, to
hold the term. Judge Settle, however, is
engaged with his own courts, and will
not be aide to come here. Mr. Darnell
still hopes that Judge I<ocke will come,
but has not heard from him for several
clave.
The docket for the term is not a large
one, but as there are four prisoners in
jail awaiting trial and cannot stive bail it
is important that the term should be held
for that if for no other reason.
A S'e* Tiling In Jewelry.
While a News reporter was conversing
with Mr. M. Meruoerg last night, the
latter’s shirt bosom was suddenly illu
minated with an electric glow that spread
up over his countenance and gave him
the appearance of an animated electric
light.
“That’s the electric scarf pin,” he re
marked, ‘"and you must not think I'm on
fire and try to' put me out. The pin is
made to wear in the searf. and is a com
plete incandescant electric light. It is
forked by a small battery in the pocket
that is atlaebed to the pin with a wire. 1
Elace my hand in my pocket, give the
attery a turn and 1 am a walking elec
tric light. It is amusing to see the look
of astonishment that comes over the faces
of some of my friends when 1 illuminate
myself. There is no s4'.*o swindle in
that,” smilingly remarked Mr. Sternberg
alluding to his loss last last as he started
off to try its e ffect on somebody else.
Married at the Cathedral.
Mr. Thomas Xugent and Miss Nellie C.
Roe were married at the Cathedral at 6.30
o’clock yesterday morning, Rev. Father

the presence of a large number of the
friends of the contracting parties. The
attendants were Mr. Terence Xugent, a
brother of the groom, and Miss M. Whitty.

Leo W. Mehrlens. The happy couple
immediately after the ceremony were
driven to the Savannah. Florida and
Western dej>ot and left at 7 o’clock
for New Orleans, where they will visit
the exposition and witness the Mardi
Gras festivities. Mr. Xugent is a well
known young business man of Savannah,
and with his bride has the best wishes of
a large circle of friends lor their future
happiness.
Sadden Death of Maurice Hussey.
The remains of Maurice Hussey,brother
of the late William Hussey, of this city,
will arrive here at 6:30 o’clock this morn
ing on the Central Railroad, and will be

bor.
Mayor Lester, in his annual report for
1884, gives a comprehensive statement of
the transactions of the city government
during the year. The News presents a
summary showing its principal features:
The receipts tor the year, exclusive of the
balance on hand at the commencement of the
year, have been $670,321 27. Of this, $325,484 01
from taxes on real estate, 423,2!r2 from ground
rents, $89,862 85 from specitic taxes, 233,925 00

030 80. From Ihc water works, the Board of
Health, and o< her sources, there has come iat9
the Treasury 1182.190 40.—■
Tbe_expen<Jiturv2-bST£ been $661,539. This
iupLioes ail current expenses of the city gov
ernment in all its departments, the payment
of judgments, the retirement of 1 Kinds, the in
terest on the public debt $190,783 12;, the
sinking fund $30.064 50,, the extinguishment
of the floating debt *42,367 96 , onening streets
($31,122 51), extending City limits ($1,417 77 ,
the extension of the water works mains ($36,-
426 61), etc.
The balance in the treasury is $51,481 90.
This balance includes a sum" of money for
some years held in the treasury to lie "paid
Over to the persons entitled to receive it. It
is the balance of the proceeds of sale of Lot
55, Brown w ard, sold bv the city under the
ground rent ordinances in 18sl. The princi
pal and interest of this amount to something
over $14,000.
There will be a decrease in the expenditures
for the year Ixßs, and in view of this the
Council lias been able to reduce the rate ot
taxation very materially.
The bonded debt ot the city now consists of
the following outstanding bonds:
of the issue of 1879, 5 |>er cents.
$356,750 of the issue of 1883, 5 per cents.
slll,lOO of old bonds issued prior to 1879, not
yet exchanged.
$9,500 of Atlantic and Gulf Railroad in
dorsed bonds, not exchanged.
The total bonded debt of the city therefore
is $3,812,100
The floating debt, amounting to $43,367 96.
has been paid off during the year, and the city
owes nothing but its bonds.
THE CITY DEPARTMENTS.
The |K>licc force needs an increase in. its
numbers, which the financial condition of
the city does not at present warrant. The
expenses of the department have been #51,-
009 82.
The expenses of the Street ami Lane De
partment for the year have been #33,138 39
The receipts properly to be credited are
As)B 70. During the year a number of streets

known as Yamacraiv. have been opened and
others have been w idened. The expense of
Uiih, including the purchase of the right of
way, have been $34.422 51. It lias not been
within the means of the authorities to *: any
thing toward the purchase of the land neces
sary for the streets and lanes in the extend’d
limits of the city, hut the entire extension has
ljcen surveyed and laid out upon plan con
forming to the plan of the city. The expense
of this work has iieen #1.417 77. It is hoped
thafsome progress will soon Ikj made to put
the plan into practical effect.
The cost of the Fire Department for the
vear has been f- !.40,x 79. which includes $1,600
paid for rebuilding the llarlow lire engine.
The expenses of the City Court have been

ment.
The receipts from the market have lieen
18.243 45 and the expenses $ ',913. showing the

Dec. l. The receipts for December, amount

The receipts for twelve months are therefore
#5,481 75.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
Kxtensivi ♦ lions to the water supply
have been made New mains have been laid
extending 11,32 > feet. Of 16-inch pipe 9,001
feet have been used. 1,050 feet of 10-ineh pipe
and 225 feet of 6-inch pipe. Extensions of
9.235 feet of 6-inch pipe. 420 feci of 4-inch pipe
and 767 feci of 12-inch pipe have been made.
Thus it appears that 21.748 fect.or 4’g miles of
p!|>e. have been added to the means of supply
during the year. 1 his addition to the old pip< s
makes 32' „ miles of pipe now laid. .Seventeen

have teen $49.637 38. The management and
working of the department tiave lieen highly
satisfactory.
The city physicians and the city dispensary
and hospital accommodations have cost for
the year $16,135 22.
The cleansing and disinfecting of vaults,
yards and premises, including the salary id
iho superintendent of the disinfecting corps,
have cost $15,011 6. The property- owners are
required to pay for much of this work, and
the receipts have tioen $8,4:60::. which, deduct -
ed from $15,011 26, leaves $6,593 23, the net ex
penses of this service.
State

Weather.
There has been no occasion to lease the
small |si a hospital for patients during the
past vear, and there has liecn no expense in
keeping it except the salary of the keeper.
The amount paid out for account of the
quarantine service at Tyltec is #1 877 os. The
effort lias lK.cn made" to make the quar
antine station self-sustaining. .80 far the ef
fort lias lieen nearly if not quite successful.
Tin? amount collected during the year for
quarantine fees has lx-cn $4,851 05, only $26 03
less than the outlay. The entire expenses of
the Health and Cemetery Department, includ
ing Laurel Grove Cemetery, have been for the
year *46,50.) 04; the receipts $15,113 18.
RIVER AND HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.
The general government at present has en
tire charge of the matter of improving the
navigation of the river. The object of the 1
present project for improving the <-haunt I is
to assure twenty-two feet of water from the
city to i’yliee Roads at mean high water. The
estimated cost of this undertaking was $700,-
000. The project, the plan and the cost were
set rot tii in Gen. Gillmorc’a report of Jan. 16,
1"2. On Aug. 2, 18-82, Congress appropriated
$200,0 0, under which jetty work was com
menced by the government in January, 1":!,
and suspended in September following. Dredg
ing ceased m Deccmlier. Another appropria
tion was made in I'M, hut work was not re
sumed until October. For some cause dredg
ing, a necessary accompaniment to the other
work, has not been yet resumed, although
the contract was given out some time ago.
The main cause of the delay in prosecuting
the work has been the lack of timely appro
priation by Congress. Some harm has come
of this by the action of the tides on the un
finished work. Capt. Bailey, the engineer
recently 111 charge, Bays: “The enforced delay
through lack ot appropriation not only re
tarded the work, but increased its ultimate
c-ist. Shoaling has taken place which could
have been controlled by a less expenditure
than will be required for its removal.” He
says dredging will soon be resumed. “No
fear <>f further shoaling need be entertained,
provided fund-will lie appropriated for con
tinuous working until the project is com
pleted.”
Gapt. Bailey is certainly sincere in what lie
savs on this subject, and there is every assur
ance that the completion of the work proposed
will produce the effects originally planned.
It is to be hoiied that C ongress wall duty ap
preciate the mi )>orlance of this work and
make it sure by a proper appropriation of the
means at its ni-posal.
THE CITY’S POPULATION.
The population of the city has increased
during t lie year, j Several hundred new houses
have been erected, and the signs of general
prosperity are evident. Confidence in our
securities is continually manifested by the
increasing demand for our citv bonds, and the
market prices continue steadily to advance.
The destiny of Savannah is fn the hands "of
her own people, and when they shall realize
that the large amount of money squandered
in annual pilgrimages abroad -pent or in
vested at home will most materially add to
the prosperity of their city, sr,<! when those
who accumulate fortunes shall learn tlieir
duty to invest them here, we shall no longer
have to complain of our heavy public debt,
for it will soon become insignificant in pro
liortiou to the vastness of our material
wealth.
THE NEW ANVESTHKTIC.
The Successful Use of Hydi oclilorate of
Cocoaine at the Savannah Hospital.
Among the patients under treatment at
the Savannah Hospital is Mr. A. Den
mark, of Bulloch county, a man about 30
years of age, who has been blind for six
years, the predisposing cause being a
cataract formed in both eyes. About a
month ago he came to Savannah, and Dr.
J. p. s. Houstoun, in the presence of the
hospital medical staff, removed the cata
ract in one eye, the operation causing no
pain, although the patient was perfectly
conscious, and as may be imagined, man
ifested the deepest interest in the stages
of the operation. Until quite recently
the subjects ol similar operations were
placed under the influence of ether or
chloroform, which rendered them uncon
scious of what was going on arcund
them while under its influence, lu this
case hydrochlorate of cocoaim was
dropped in the eye o{>erated upon, ren
dering the patient insensible to pain, but
conscious of everything that was going
on. The other eye was also successfully
operated upon two weeks ago, and yes
terday the condition of the patient was
such as to justify the belief that he will
lie able in a short time to return to his
home with his sight restored.
Local Personal.
Among the arrivals at the Screven
House last night were A. 11. Hovey and
wife, Augusta; Charles E. Reed, Albany,
X. V.; and L. It. Tuttle, Jacksonville.
At the Marshall House were W. B. King
and wife, Gainesville, Fla., and Miss
Wavey Hampton, South Carolina. At the
Pulaski House were Mrs. and Miss Se

GUILTY OF ARSON.
The Trial of Henry Whitfield in the Su
perior Court Ye*terdy—Found Guilty
and Aw aitiug the Sentence of Death.
Henry Whitfield, the negro with half a
dozen or more aliases, who set fire to the
residence of F. A. Exley. on Margaret
street, on Jan. 12, was tried in the Superior
Conrt yesterday forarson. He was found
guilty, and will probably be sentenced
to-dav.
The punishment for arson is death, un
less the conviction shall be founded solely
on circumstantial evidence or the jury
recommend to mercy, in which case the
Judge may sentence to confinement in
the penitentiary tor life. In this case the
prisoner admitted having poured kerosene
oil on the doorway of the house, fully estab
lishing his guilt. The jury made no
recommendation, and the only thing that
remains is lor the sentence to lie passed.
tin the night the tire was dicovered Po
liceman Mathis was patrolling his beat
near Mr. Kxley’s house when he saw the
basement doorway in flames. The inmates
of the house were asleep, but tfig-officer
aroused JhtUi-and W'iUl a bucket of water
succeeded in putting out the tire.
Whitfield, who was known to Mr. Exley
under the name of Ityals. was suspected
of having fired the place, and the next
morning was arrested. He was indicted
by the grand jury at its first sitting.
The testimony during the trial yesterday
went to show that while the officer was
walking his beat he discovered Whitfield
near the house acting in a suspicious
manner, as though he was trying to avoid
being seen. The policeman succeeded,
however, in obtaining a good look at him,
and, noting his, appearance, allowed
him to pass on. A few minutes later,
when he discovered the fire, he associated
Whitfield with it, believing
that be knew something about its
origin. Mr. Kxlev was asked
if he could recall any circumstance which
would prompt anyone to attack him in
that manner, and described Whitfield,
who had been loafing about the place
from time to time to see his wile, who
was a cook for Mrs. Exley, and had been
ordered to keep away unless he could
come to the house sober and in a season
able. hour and with the consent of the
woman. This, it appears, provoked Whit
field’s resentment. The oflicer found the
negro the following day, when he con
fessed to having saturated the wood work
of the door with kerosene, but denied
having set Are to it.
The prisoner offered no testimony on
his trial which could be regarded as miti
gating his offense, and did not even make
his statement to the jury. That the State
had made out its case was apparent, and
the only question which seemed to divide
the spectators who witnessed the trial
w its whether the jury would recommend
him to mercy, and thereby reduce the
penalty from hanging to a lifetime ser
vice in the penitentiary.
The jury retired unde* the charge of
the court about 1 o’clock, and shortly
after 7 last night agreed upon a verdict
oi guilty without recommendation.
The prisoner was handcuffed, anil ac
companied by Deputy Sheriffs Mendell and
Smith, was taken back to jail. He is a
mulatto of medium height and about 22
years of age. During the progress of the
trial he manifested less appreciation of
the crime with which he was charged
than any one in the court room.
WORK OF THE COURTS.
•riii Criminal Session of tlie City Court—
The Grand Jury to Meet To-Day.
A colored girl named Mary London was
brought into the City Court yesterday to
be tried for having obtained from Joseph
F. Dailey goods valued at sl9 by repre
senting that she had been sent for them
by her father. The matter, after some
preliminary investigation, was settled
upon the payment of costs.
On Jan. 29 a negro named Moses Spann
attempted to steal a chicken belonging to
M. S. Baker. The would-be thief was
found guilty and sentenced to three
months on the chain-gang.
The case of R. J. Smith, a white man,
charged with assault and battery was
continued until Feb. 16, to allow the ac
cused an opportunity to procure wit
nesses.

docket was that of Henry Estelle against
The Geortre A. Stone Nursery Company
and of D. 1. Peeples against D. C. New
ton. In the former case an order was

despositions, in the latter the jury return
ed a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum ot
SSOO, with interest from Dec. 1, 1884.
The grand jury will meet this morning.
MASON UNDER ARREST.
To be Tried In the United States Court
for Personating a Revenue Oflicer.
B. F. Mason, indicted in the United
States District Court for personating an
internal revenue officer, was arrested at
Waynesborougb yesterday and brought to
Savannah by Deputy Matshal Murphy.
The circumstances of Mason’s crime have
already been published in the News. Dur
ing the last term of the court he escaped
from the deputy marshal who then had
him in charge, and has succeeded in evad
ing arrest until last week, when it was
learned that he was at Millen, on the
Central Railroad. A deputy marshal was
sent there and found him by the body of
his mother, who had just "died. Under
the circumstances tiie oflicer did notplaec
him under arrest. Mason promising
that he would come to Savannah as soon
as his mother was buried and would sur
render himself. He did not keep his
promise, but was heard of at Waynes
borough. He will be tried soon as a
J udge is procured to hold court*
Magistrate Molimt’s Office.
Justice M. Frank Molina has remodeled
and improved his office and now has one
of the most complete Justice’s court
rooms in the city and probably in the
State. He has extended the partition of
his private office to the ceiling and has
had both it and the court room elegantly
papered and put in thorough repair. Ho
evidently means business, and has given
notice that he is there to attend to the
duties of his office and not to entertain
idlers.
Railroad Kates to the Exposition.
Edita' Morniwj Mews: In Saturday's
News l noticed an announcement by the
Charleston and Savannah and Savannah,
Florida and Western Railways of a re
duction of fare to New Orleans during the
exposition to only one cent per mile. This
would seem to show a liberal spirit, as
well as a desire on the part of the railroads
mentioned to “make hay while the sun
shines;’’ but, unfortunately for the expo
sition, as well as the railroads and the
would-be sight-seers, it falls far short of
the mark. The companies mentioned say
they will run their excursion trains only
on Mondays, and the excursionist is lim
ited to fee days, in only two of which can
he see the exposition. They say in their
announcement: “This limit” (that is two

more absurd! To see this exposition as

Why, it would take two weeks to see even
a small part of such an exposition, leav

most hurried glance at the exposition

they might desire to stay ? To the unso

Caution to the Public.
MUSIC BUYERS should not be deceived by
those wlio offer Evans’ Music at 5 cents
percopv. There are two editions of Evans’
Music.'The Old r,-Cent Edition and the It esc
10-Cent Edition. For information we will
state that Evans’ Music w-as originally, and
until the past few months, sold generally at
5 cents per copy, and was then, from necessity.
printed upon poor paper. No reputable Music
House then sold it, as it was too poor to sell.
The Publishers are now issuing Improved
Editions upon good paper and have raised the
price to 10 cents. Under the personal assur
ance of Mr. W. A. Evans that this Music was
to he sold uniformily at 10 cents by the Prin
cipal Houses at Boston, by their Branches at
New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago.
St. Louis and bv their Agencies, we accepted
the Agency under the following written con
tract, viz:
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 4, 1834.
Ludden <6 Bates Southern Music House-.
In consideration of your purchase from us
of 4 0,000 Copies of our Music we do make you
our SOLE AGENTS to sell our Music at
Wholesale and Retail in the States of Georgia,
JVorth and South Carolina, Mississippi and
Alabama. We also agree to keep you supplied
with Ten-Cent Catalogues.
(Signed) W. A. Evans & Bbo.
It will thus be seen that we are the Sole
Authorized Agents for this Music, and that its
regular price is 10 cents per copy.
There are still large supplies of the old 5-
Cent Editions in the hands of dealers at the
North, some of which has been imported, to
Savannah, hut Evans & Bro. will not sell their
New 10-Cent Editions to any save their
Agents. There are also Old Catalogues of 5-
Cent Music to bo had, but Evans & Cos. will
not furnish tticir Latest Catalogues to any hut
their Agents.
A 5-Cent Music Dealer in this city states
that W. A. Evans & Bro. is now printing
several thousand catalogues for him. We
would not intimate that this is not so, hut. all
the same, we don't believe it. He may sur
reptitiously obtain through ome Cheap Music
Dealer in Boston a supply of the Old it-Cent
Catalogues , upon which he can have hh own
name printed, but Evans & Cos. will not print
them specially or knowingly for him. Con
cerning this we shall have more to say as soon
as we can hear from them. Our rights in this
matter have been trespassed on and we shall
sift the business to the bottom. Bring in these
5-Cent Catalogues and we will show you that
ours are later anil contains hundreds more
pieces, and also that our Music is of better
grades and quality.
