8 THE OLD TICKET WINS. all op the present county OFFICERS RE-ELECTED. ■lie Workingmen’* Candidate* Radiy Beaten- Capt. Dillon * Majority Over 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: CLERK OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. Barnard E. Hoe 2.118 SHERIFF. John T. Ronan #> 2,089 RECEIVER OF TAX RETURNS. John R.

The annual charity .ball in aid or the Borne for the Friendless was given at the Guards’Armory last night. The attend ance was not large, owing to the unpleas ant weather, but tbo ball was voieu u great success socially, and the cause oi •hsritv is considerably better off for it. I 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.

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.

THE COAST LINK RAILROAD 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. RIVER AND HARBOR NEWS.

If proper encouragement at Jacksonville and along the route is given the cars will be ruuniug between Jack sonville and interlachen early in ISBS.

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.
