OFFICERS RE-ELECTED.

Dooner 719-Cpt. Dixon Re-elected
Coroner by 73 M Off Uoette-
The Count Finished at 4 O'clock (lit*
Morning.
The biennial election for officers of
Chatham county was held yesterday and
passed off quietly. Two thousand one
hundred votes were polled.
A disagreeable, drizzling rain kept a
good many away lromtbe polls, and had
something to do with the quietness which
marked the day. A heavy vote was not
expected considering the wtaiber, and
the vote that was polled was larger than
was antlcipaied.
The contests for the Receivership of
Tax Returns and the Coronership made
the election a little lively and increased
the interest in it. The boxes were in the
usual place in the middle of the corridors
in the court house. All ot the doors were
open, and a strong draft oi air poured
through oue way and then seemed to go
around to the side doors and pass through
again that way. Home of tbo voters did
a somewhat similar thing. They went in
at one door and voted and then went
around to the sides and tried to vote again.
The managers and clerks sat in the
dampness,and,although muffled up almost
beyond identification, shivered and shook
all day as the tickets were dropped down
■ into the boxes.
Til USUAL CHALLENGING.
There w*Mabout thj| usual amount of
challenging. • The dftleront candidates
for the contested places worked hard and
bed enthusiastic lieutenants at work for
them. At 12 o’clock about 1,200 votes
bad been cast. The York street box from
A to F was the most patronized and the
lira? ton street box was the least. The
Bull street box ft to ifand the President
street box R to Z ran about the same.
Bv tbe middle of the day it was evident
that Oapt. Dillon was leading his oppo
nent, Mr. Doouer, and was sure of elec
tion.
TUE FIGHT FORCORONEII.
By that time also the tight for the Cor
oner’s $1,500 salary bad narrowed down to
Capt. Dixon and Mr. Goette—Mr. Fox
beiug tuen considered out of the race.
Considerable scratching was done for
places which were not contested. Some
of that cutting was aocouuted for by the
tact that some ol the candidates’ friends
wanted to see them run ahead of other
candidates.
All of the barrooms in the city were
closed, or were supposed to be, and there
was very little drunkenness in the neigh
borhood of tbo poiis.
BOMB WHO DIDN’T VOTK.
When the polls closed at 6 o’clock there
were a good many waiting to cast their
ballots. They had delayed too long, how
ever. The total number of ballots east
was 2,145. In box No. 1 there were 711;
box No. 2. 510; in No. 3,403, and in No.
i, 521.
The first, thing whioli the judges did
alter tbo boxes were closed was to take
the boxes up into the City Court room,
leave them in the custody of the Sheriff
and go to supper.
BEGINNING TUB COUNT.
At 7:30 o’clock the sorting of the bal
lots began and by 9 o'clock everything
was ready for the count, which began at
9:30. At midnight two boxes had beeu
finished and the count of tbe third box
was begun, it was finished a few
minutes after 2, and the managers were
soon at work on the last box. It
was 4 o’clock before the lest ballot wus
counted, and tbe returns then bud to be
made up. The court room was crowded
during the early part of the night, but
after midnight it began to thin out and
there were r.ot more than a dozen people
In the room when the count was finished.
Tbe lull vote was as follows:

A BECKLESS DRIVER’S AVOfyi.
Two Men Run Over by a Drunken
Huckmsu.
About 6:40 o’clock last night a carriage
drawn by two horses was passing lap
ldly along Brougbton street east.
At the intersection of Barnard street
the team struok James H. Richards and
knocked him down. The wheels passed
over his body and the breath was knocked
out ot him. The driver, a negro, put
whip to his horses and continued along
Broughton street at a very fast gait. As
he turned south into Whitaker street
Charles Mitobell, a stevedore, was cross
ing. He was hit in the breast by one of
the horses and knocked uucouscious into
the gutter.
Without waiting to see what had been
done the driver stood up in his box and
again whipped his horses. In a
moment he had disappeared. Mr.
Richards was picked up and car
ried to Solomon’s drug store, at
Barnard and Congress streets. He com
plained of being injured in the breust, and
blood was flowing profusely from a seri
ous gash in the back of his bead. His
wound was dressed and he was sent to
his home at 104 Liberty street.
Mr. Mitchell was helped into Myerson’s
shoe store, on the corner where he was
st'-uek, and lie was attended to. There
were no cuts of importance on his person
and no bones ueemed to be broken, al
though his faco and body were badly
bruised. Hergt. Killourby happened along
a lew minutes later and he made Inquiries
for the negro driver. From a little color
ed boy who was on the corner of Brough
ton and Whitaker when the second acci
dent occurred a description of the team
was obtaiued.
Hergt. Lee started out immediately in
the direction the man was reported to
have gone. The Hergeant kept out Whit
aker street and missed the mau, who, as
it was afterward learned, turned off at
Houth Broad street. Later in the night
Policeman Mock saw a carriage and two
horses which he thought answered the
description standing at Houth Broad and
West Broad streets. Ibe team proved to
be Mr. Dan Ueidt’s. The owner said that
the driver disappeared immediately after
taking the carriage home. The policeman
learned that the driver was named Alex
Hymes and that he lived on Uuerard
street. Policeman Mock went to the
plaoe and arrested Hymes, whom he
found drunk. The negro will be betore
the Mayor this morning for disorderly
driving.
JOLLY TURNERS IN MASKS,
Their Annual Masquerade Rail a
Dig Success.
The Turners’ annual masquerade ball
last night was a great success, as the
Turners’ masquerades usually are. It
was oue of the biggest balls they have
ever given.
The lobbies and the dancing hall itself
were clogged with women in gay cos
tumes, wearing masks, ana men with
wits, false faces and false noses who
elbowed each other good naturedly, and
pushed and squeezed from 9 o’clock until
three. Ho many wauted to dance that, the
floor was packed all the evening, and
only those who liked to bo bumped into,
aud jostled and crushed, tripped about to
the lively tnu*ic ot (Jocks’ orciiestra.
There was the usual mixed assortment
of blue-coated policemen, red-helmeted
soldiers, devils with long tails and horns,
woolly-beaded Africans, Houth Arneri
ouus, 1 urks and Untnamen, sailors and
shoemakers, and about every other call
ing. There were fair young girls in protty
dresses of all colors with gay-buod rib
bons floating irom pink shoulders and
white throats,
Thera were girls in sky blue stookings
aud dainty white slipperH, mock lords
and ladies, gallant cavaliers and hand
some senoritas. It was a big kaleido
scope ol moving figures.
Tne ball opened at 9 o’clock. At 12
o’clock tbe prizes were awarded by Mr.
A. E. Hholes. Mrs. C. L. Hamilton, as tbe
peacock in the "Devil’s Auction,” was
given the ladies’ first pnze, a handsome
silver mounted berry dish.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWt. ffi JuSDAY. JANUARY wTH
TO-NIGHT WILL DECIDE
Whether Savannah Will Have Base
Ball Next Season or Not.
To-day will definitely decide whether
Savannah will be represented in the
Southern League next season. The $2,000
guarantee must be put up by next Mon
day or the club will forfeit its franchise.
There is no time to be lost. At the
meeting at Fords’ Opera House Monday
night 84 of the 110 snares that must be
subscribed before the new association is
organized were on the canvassing com
mittee's books, leaving tweuty.flve shares
yet to bo obtained. Unless this amount
is made up bv to-night the canffe franchise
will ue forfeited and base ball will be a
dead sport in Havannah.
It is hardly possible that with so email
an amount yet to be subscribed the enter
prise will be allowed to lull through,
Tbore is no denying the fact that every
oity in the Southern League that has
heretofore held a lranchlse has been
largely advertised by the sport. The
money that is put into the oluo is almost
every dollar of it spent here.
Visiting clubs briug their money here
and spend it. The rapidly growing in
terest in the sport and the attention that
is given to it by newspapers all over the
country secures a tremendous amount oi
advertising. Business mew who look at
it iu this light have already subscribed to
stock in the new association, but not
enough. The canvassing committse will
make a final effort to-day to carry the
subscriptions up to 110 snares, if busi
ness meu and those wuo are interested In
the sport will make up to-day the
twenty-five shares yet remaining
unsubscribed, tbe association will
be organized. Unless tbe lull amount
is subscribed before the committee sub
mits its report to the meeting at the
opera house to-night the matter will be
dropped and nothing further will be done.
It is nousense to talk about people not
wantiug base ball, it is simply a lack of
get-up-and-get on the part of those who
think Savannah will have a club anyhow,
eveu if they do not help get it, that is
going to result in losing the Iranchise
unless something is done to-day to save
it. Charleston, with her disastrous earth
quake experience, had raised enough
money two months ago to put the Charles
ton association on a sure tooting. Their
team has been signed and the contracts
have been approved.
Following in Atlanta’s footsteps, will
Savaunah, with her brilliant record oi
last year, allow her place to be filled by
some town half her size who is ready to
step in the moment an opportunity offers ?
l’resldent Morrow has sent out the fol
lowing circular to all clubs at present
holding franchises In the league:
N ashvii.le, Jan. B.—At the recent annual
meeting of the Southern League of Rase Ball
Clubs held in this oitv Oct. 7,1888, a resolution
wus unanimously adopted requiring each
club to deposit a oasn guarantee of 12.0U0.
This money Is to be ia the hamls of the league
treasurer on or before Jan. iu, 1887. Should
any club fail to deposit the amount required
aud at thetime specified, it will be the duty
of the undersigned to at once declare the
franchise of such club forfeited to the league,
and take immediate steps to fill the vacancy.
Should auy vacancy occur a meeting of the
league will be called to assemble at Chatta
nooga, at an early day, to (11! the vacancy.
I’lease remit tne amount of guarantee by
exchange on New Y'ork or by express pre
paid.
After all the clubs have deposited the re
quired amount the undersigned will execute
a i>oud for IXB,OOO, with three good sureties,
the bond having been approved by a commit
tee created for that purpose bv the league.
In conclusion, 1 will add that the under
signed will exaot a strict compliance with the
requirements of the resolution.
John Morrow,
Pres., Sec., Treas. Southern League.
It will be seen from the above that
there Is no time to be lost. Should auv
ol the clubs fall to promptly make the re
quired deposit their Iranchise will be de
clared forfeited, and a meeting of tbe
league called to fill the vacancy or vacan
cies, if there be any. Macon has all
along beeu looked upon as the doubtful
club, but the plucky Central Cltv has
determined to hold up Its end ot the
league, and will bo on band with the $2,000
belore the tune has expired.

TV A NTS AN INJUNCTION.
C‘’y Marshal Goodwin Advertises tbe
Tracks, flight ot Way and Roadbed of
tlia Coast Lins Kallroad tm Krntigliton
Street For Sate to Pay for the l'avmg
Which the City hays It Otve* For—An
Inj unotlon A ikeil for to stop the Hale.
The Coast Line Railroad Company,
through iu attorney, James Atkins, Esq.,
has filed In the clerk’s office of the Utitled
States District Cour a bill asking an in
junction against tbe Mayor and Aldermen
of Savannah. On Tuesday morning City
Marshal L. L. Goodwin published an ad
vertisement in the Morning News, stat
ing that by virtue of a writ of fi fa. he
would sett on Feb. 1 ail of the roadbed,
right of way, tracks, etc., oi the company
on Broughton street.
The object of the sale is to recover
$3,665 00, the amount which the con pauy
was assessed as its alleged share of tbe
cost for paving Broughtou gtreet with
asphalt.
It is stated in the bill that the orator
was chartered Oct. 10. 1808, under the
name Wilmington Railway Company.
By an act of the Legislature, passed
Aug. 26, 1872, the company was renamed
the Coast Line railroad. Alter work was
begun on the liue the City Council pass
ed au ordinance containing the provision
that in the event of the paving by the city
of the wUole or any portion of
the streets used by ’ tbe railroad
tbe portion of the traok between the rails
should be paved aud kept in good repair
by the company. The orator declares
that there is no provision in the contract
or auy other contract obligating the rail
road company to pave anywhere In the
oity outside of the rails of its track. A
bond was given by the company lor the
fulfillment ol the oontract on Us part,
and it asserts thatit has always faithfully
observed the terms.
Nevertheless the said defendant, by
craftily contrived concealments and by
other fraudulent means, caused the Legis
lature of Georgia to provide In the act of
Hept. 5, 1885, that said defendant might
require every street railroad company
haviug its tracks running througn the
streets of the said city, without except
ing the orator in any respect whatever,
to macadamize, or ot’hoiwise pave as the
city might direct, not only the width of
its tracks between the rails,but also three
feet on each side of every line of track
then in use.
The bill adds that the City Council, “to
add force to traud,” passed two ordi
nances—one on March 17 and tbe other
March 24, 1886—directing the oompany to
(Save between Its rails and three feet on
either side by a certain time and iu a cer
tain manner along Broughton street.
The railroad company paved between
Us tracks with stone, and the oity paved
ail outside of its tracks, between West
Broad and Aberoorn, with asphalt.
When the paving was done the city de
manded that the company should pay for
three lest of the pavement on each side ot
ita track. The demand was relused and
the property has been advertised lor sale.
The company claims that the city is
proceeding in violation of one ot tbe pro
visions of the constitution of the United
States, which forbids any State passing
an ex-post facto law, or any law to im
pair a contract. The court is asked to
grant a temporary restraining order and
appoint a day lor a hearing on the bill
tor permanent injunction.

Advice to Alotners,
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should
always he used when children are cutting
teath. it relieves the IRue sufferer at
onoe; it produces natural, quiet sleep by
relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as “bright as a

A 15rave Little Woman.
From tho A r tw Orloatio Timoo- Democrat.
Twenty years or more ago a young
German couple, with little'money and
lots ot love, started bravely and deter
minedly forth to make a fortune lor
themselves in the rich Crescent City.
The husband, a master silversmith and
jeweler, having learned his trade thor
oughly In the old country, felt no anxiety
in setting up business among the wealthy
planter princes of the South, lieu were
lavish and women luxurious in those
days, consequently precious
costly work in gold and silver were
rapidly disposed of in the small shop,
leaving always a handsome profit in the
cash drawer. Three children cams, and
sucn prosperity and happiness with them
that it seemed every loophole was se
cured against the possible inroads of mis
fortune.
It was during one of the long, hot sum
mers of the sixties that the deadly
scourage, yellow lever, swept over the
country, (astening itself with a virulence
and tenacity on this city that threatened
to destroy It. Men unable to leave their
business hurried those dear to them far
off for ealety. Mr. Uuussiuan was of this
number. Eluding it impossible to go
bimseir, he sent his wife and babies to
the oountry, staying to brave the pesti
lence alone. Every day a letter came to
the anxious woman, full of encourage
ment. Never a word that hinted of ill
ness or danger till the telegram arrived
saylug it was all over, and that to save
her he had forbidden his critical con
dition should be written of, dying quietly,
without a murmur, so his loved ones
might be shielded.
Nothing could have been more pitiful
than tbe young wife’s position. Not un
derstanding one word of English, with
out a relation on whom to depend, and
her affairs in tbe hands ot strangers, she
had to stay away three months, not dar
ing to return to the city for fear of con
tagion. Fortunately, a courageous
mother and naturally plucky woman is a
creature next to impossible to crush,
therefore Mrs. Theresa Haussman proved
herself the conqueror of circumstances,
winning a brilliant victory over ad
versity.
She began by buying n newspaper every
morning and spelling it through faith
fully from beginning to end. She iouud
that in a few months time her knowledge
ot the English language was sufficient for
ordinary trading. By reducing her hus
band’s thriving business one-half she was
able to begin free of debt, on a small scale.
Altnough hiring a bookkeeper, she studied
accounts enough to understand exactly
how finances should be conducted, and
gave every department her constant
supervision. From the factory to the
counter everything was conducted and
directed by the owner herself. She trav
eled to New York entirely alone, making
the neoeasarv purchases lor the shop, con
fessing, at the same time, that this re
sponsibility was the cause of a severe
illness.
“No one will ever know,” the quiet,
gentle lady added, “how hard it was at
lirst. My children away at school, 1 had
to fight every battle unaided, and heaven
alone knows where I ever found strength
to live through the long days of blank de
spair and (ear that would take possession
ot me. While meeting with much kind
ness, there were numbers of unscrupu
lous persons who strove to injure me in a
hundred different ways. Now, when the
unhappy past is put away, and i have a
tine, strong son to lean upon, 1 look back
wonderlngly and think was it all true?
Of course, like every one else,” she con
cluded, “1 complain now and then of hard
times; but when business comes I get my
share, and with my three grown children
round me 1 can’t but leel the worst of !ile
is over.”
In her pretty shop filled with bric-a
brac, glittering on all sides with rich sil
verware aDd with Jewels shining through
the clear glass cases,Mrs. iiaussiiian sits,
the happy, oonteuted woman, and one of
whom her sex may welt loel proud. Every
a women are left helpless and unpro
tected iu this world, but few are lound
equal to fighting through trouble and mis
fortune to the plane of dignified independ
ence this German widow occupies. She
is an example ot ail that courage aDd a
stout, brave heart cau do, though giant
despair himseifstauUs in the way.
Naughty Prince Gerzi.
From Lend n 8 oiety.
The Duchess of Edinburgh was met on
her arrival at Malta by the Duke, and
three days later they gave u concert at
their house at San Antonio. The Duke
was down for a solo on his beloved fiddle,
and when his royal highness stood up to
perform he was greeted, of course, with a
storm of applause, lie proceeded in the
usual manuer to thrum the instrument
iuto tune, but the first touch told him that
tbe strings had been changed, that tbe A
string was where the G ought to be, and
vice versa. The Duke looked angry,
called lor another violin, and when heba’d
tuned it vigorously resined his how. He
then dashed bravely at the piece, but alas 1
nothing but the most awiul scroops re-
Asu’ted from his elbow jerking.
i h.* audience were respectfully patient
for a bar or two, then a sift of suppressed
tuis.er ran round tbe room, and the Duke
slopped and examined nis tools once
more. A glance at his bow caused him to
scrutinize ibe rosin box, the contents of
which proved tube cobblers' wax. Alter
this there was nottid
dler but to explain, witirTfl6'li-**ryv3%;L(>
could, that, the Kates were against h.„i,
and resume his seat; which he did, while
mu filed laughter from I’riuce George gave
a pretty clear ciuo to the author of tho
mischief.
On Some Grave Suhjcets.
Water doesn’t decay dead bodies. It
preserves them. L's about the best pre
server there is—if there Isn’t any fishes in
It, of course.
Bodies have been buried in swamps and
lasted lor years and years.
A body buried at the bottom of the sea
would be preserved pretty nearly forever,
11 there wasn't auytUing iu the saa but
water.

Lots of people think that a grave on the
top or side of the bill where tho sun
shines is the best.
The plain, white wood casket is tbe best.
