8 CHA X(i KSIX TII ]■ CHAPJ E R ALDERMAN BOGART’S PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. The Mayor to Have the Veto Power and the Board of Aldermen to bo Elected Biennially Reasons Why the Amendments Are Proposed The Matter to be Discussed in Council. At the next regular meeting of the City Council, which will beheld on May 4, Alder man Bogart's proposed amendment to the city's charter will come np for consideration. The features of the proposed amendment a ro the conferring of the yeti') power upon the Mayor and the changing of the Aldermunie term from two year*, as pow, to four, half the members to be elect ■ 1 biennially. “I had hoped to see tho matter agitated, and it was for that purpose that I moved to lay my resolution on the table for four weeks," Alderman Bogart remarked yester day, ‘T wanted to give the people a chance to think it over and discuss it. It' it is tip roved by the public then let it pass. It is he public that will l ie affected by the change more than any person or set of persons. To the city it ought to be a matter of no little Interest, it strikes me.” THE MAYOR’S RESPONSIBILITY. "When the subject was first- broached in Council Alderman Bogart state*! that his object was to make the Mayor responsible for the eity's legislation. Yesterday lie reit erated his view in that particular, and added that a good many sound business men with whom he had talked considered that idea a good one. Now the responsibility for the legislation is divided among tho whole Board of Aldermen. Unless there is a tie, the Mayor, although he presides, has no vote. A chairman of a committee feels a greater sense of responsibility for the work of the committee than the other members do. Give the Mayor tho veto power and he will feel the same way. In no ease can it work any tnore harm than tho present system. “The chances of getting a good Mayor are always bettor than for getting a good Board Df Aldermen,” the Alderman observed. “If 111-advised legislation should bo carried through Council by a majority of votes, the -Mayor, if vested with the power of disap proval, could prevent it becoming n law Unless passed over his head, ;uid that would take more votes than a bare majority. A great many cities, perhaps the most of them, ave vested their Mayor with the veto. THE VETO POWER. “In New Orleans the Mayor presides in Council and can veto any ordinance appro priating money or fixing salaries, either in Whole or part. Good features he can let Stand and objectionable ones disapprove. To pass a vetoed ordinance it must receive the votes of two-thirds of all the members of the board and not merely two-thirds of those present at a meeting. “Baltimore's Mayor has the veto power, and it takes three-fourths of all the mem bers of Council to pass a measure after his disapproval. Nashville's Mayor lias tho veto power also. In Louisville a twothirds vote is necessary to pass over a veto; in Philadelphia a three-fifths vote of all tho •members in each branch, and in Augusta a two-thirds vote. “The veto power was granted Atlanta’s Mayor by an act passed by the Legislature in October. 1885. In St. Louis the Mayor nan veto bills of any nature. MAYORS OF OTHER CITIES. “These are only a few instances of cities Whose Mayors have the veto power. It ap pears to be the history of all of these that as they grew in wealth and importance they found it necessary to con tic responsibility in the chief municipal executive. Macon, Norfolk and other smaller cities have not yet taken the steps to make their Mayors re sponsible for ' the legislations.' One reason probably is that in small communi ties there is not the dread or the danger of political corruption that there is in large cities.” His reason for changing the terms of mem bers of Council, Alderman Bogart says, is to Insure the city the benefit of experience. In Every kind of business experience is consid ered indispensable. The more a man has of it the better he gets along. In the same way the city’s affairs will lie better managed if half of her Aldermen have two yoars’ expe dience. ALDERMEN ELECTED BIENNIALLY. The proposed ordinance will provide that it the January election in 188!) half of the toard of Aldermen be chosen for two years aid lialf for four years. The terms of six fill expire in 1891 and the terms of the itlier six in 1893. The six elected in 1891 rill serve until 1895, and those elected in 897 will serve until 1901. That will insure ho city's having six memliers all of the irne with two years’ experience. “I found the experience of the older mein- Sers of great benefit to me when l first went nto the board,” Mr. Bogart stated, and he added that it necessarily followed that the :ity would gain by having half of her \l - experienced. It is not at all un ikely tliat some issue may arise, and all of Bui old board or nearly all bo displaced >nd anew set of Aldermen bo Imt in. They would lie unfamiliar w ith the details of the working ot the city’s ■Machinery, and things would not go along monthly. Many cities have a similar plan. Hie objection to making the terms two years md electing eveiy year is that that would Sc too often to go through the excitement Md agony of a political campaign. IN FAVOR OF THE MEASURE. It is understood that the proposed mcas dre is regarded with-favor by the present board, who do not look at it merely from a ►personal point of view. “I cannot see that If any or all of the present Aldermen are candidates for re-election they would have any better chances, if as good, of being elected for four years than for a two years’ term,” said u gentleman in speaking of the lubjeet. Bo far as learned the measure seems to be quite favorably regarded. If Council jiasses the ordinance the amend ment to the charter will lie drafted and pre sented to the Legislature ill July.

EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS’ LETTER To the Ladies of the Calhoun Monu ment Committee of Charleston. Hon. Jefferson Davis has written to the committee in charge of tho unveiling of the Calhoun monument in Charleston next Tuesday expressing his deep regret that it is beyond the power of himself and his fam ily to be present. Mr. Davis said: “Be sides the veneration and affection of Mrs. Davis and myself for the great and pure statesman to whose memory you do honor, it would i>e a pleasure to us to pay this tribute of duty and respect. “Mr. Calhoun was to me the guiding star in the political firmament, and I was hon ored by hii with such confidence as made our intercourse not only instructive but of enduring love. In an ‘important crisis in public affaire, his health failed, but with tliut devotion to the public welfare which had characterized his whole life, he contin ued to occupy his seat in the Senate, when his indomitable spirit was vainly straggling against liis physical exhaustion. His wis dom and extraordinary administrative tal ent were then specially required to teach, direct and sustain, but ho was taken front us “ Tike a summer dried fountain, When our need was the sorest.’ “Mr. Webster, who bad been his great intellectual opponent, but, nevertheless, his warm personal friend, when s|teaking on the occasion of bis death, manifested deeper emotion than I ever knew him to exhibit on any other occasion. Ho impressively said: ‘Nothing that was selfish or impure ever came near the head or heart of Calhoun.’ “lam gratified that tho ladies, the best part of humanity, have contributed this testimonial to one blameless as themselves. “Please tender with my regards my grate ful acknowledgments to your associates for their cordial invitation, in which my wife cordially unites, ami lielicve mo to be, re spectfully and truly yours.” DROWNED IN BACK RIVER. An Overloaded Boat Capsized and a Colored Man Lost. Coroner Dixon went up to Back river yesterday to hold an inquest on Simon Sim tuous (colored), whose body was found in the river Wednesday night. Dennis Bead testified that lie, with Peter Small, John Small, Jack Simmons and Simon Simmons, started to cross the river in a small boat. __ lust- Saturcljty. Before getting across t ile boat capsizvL Read held on to it because he could'not swim, but the others started to swim ashore. Head and the boat were finally got ashore all right and he did not know any one had been drowned until tho next day. He thought that, the boat sank because there were too many in it. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental drowning. Simmons was a native of South Carolina and was 17 years old. FOUR YEARS FOR POLYGAMY James Wyatt’s Three Wives to Get Along Without Him for Awhile. James Wyatt, the colored jiolygainist, plead guilty in the Superior Court yester day. Ho apparently hail determined to take his chances on a trial, but changed his mind at the last moment. Mr. Carr, tho deputy clerk, had liegun calling over the jury list when Wyatt in structed liis counsel to change the plea to guilty. He has throe wives living, one in Atlanta and two in Savannah. His third was a recent acquisition, a young colored girl with whom he eloped. Had he lieen con tent with two he would probably have es caped prosecution, hut the father of his third wife had Wyatt jailed. Judge Adams sen tenced him to four years in the penitentiary, the extreme penalty. STRUCK WITH A HAMMER. A. E. Morgan Convicted of Assaulting a Colored Bricklayer. A. E. Morgan, an elderly white man, was tried yesterday in the Superior Court for assault with intent to murder. He was prosecuted by A. H. Bentley (colored). The testimony showed that Morgan struck Bent ley three times in the head with a hammer on April 1 at Tattnall and Harris streets. The .jury found the prisoner guilty of assault and battery and recommended him to the mercy of /tho court. Judge Adams sen tenced him to pay $l5O fine and costs or serve two months in jail without labor. W. W. Fraser was appointed acting Solicitor General, Mr. dußignon being indisposed.

Rose, who accompanied the remains of Sujierintendent Frank Fonda to Nashville, returned to Savannah last night. All'. Fonda’s funeral took place on Tuesday aad was attended by a large concourse of people. The remains were escorted from the train by the Nashville, Uaxuletto ami Henderson Commandories of Knights Tem plar. The funeral was at the Nashville Pres byterian church, and the building was taxed to hold the throng of people in attendance. Floral offerings from friends nil over the South adorned the casket. None more beau tiful or more numerous have been seen at any funeral in Nashville for many years. The services at the church were simple and brief, comprising merely music and pray ers.

Among the guests from-Savannah were Mr. and .'its Jacob Rieser, the groom's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Epstein and Mr. S. S. Einstein. After the ceremony a reception was held. The hall was beautifully decorated and the reception was a brilliant gathering of society people. Tho bride’s c istuinc and those of her Bridesmaids and of tho guests that were present were very elaborate. The bridal presents were numerous and very handsome. During tho reception the bride and groom received con gratulatory telegrams from their friends, conveying Ix'st wishes for their future hap piness. A large number of telegrams was sent from the groom’s friends in this city. The bride and groom left New York yes terday morning for Indianaiiolis to visit tho brid 's sister, who was unable,owing to sick ness, to be at the wedding. They will sail on May -1 for Bremen and will spend the summer in Continental Eurojie, returning to this country early in the fall.

Y., and Miss Ida Gomm, daughter of the late Adol phus Gonim, formerly of the firm Gomm & Loftier, of this city, were married at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The cere mony was iierformed by Vicar General Cafferty. The bride wore a stylish suit of gray cloth. The attendants were Miss Mamie Gomm, sister of the bride, and Dr. C. E. Byrne, of New Rochelle, N.

A RECTOR SOUGHT FOR. Rev. Charles H. Strong Declines the Rectorship of a Brooklyn Church. The last number of the Churchman an nounces that Rev. Charles H. Strong, rector of St. John’s church of this cit3 r , has ac cepted a call to tho rectorship of St. John’s church, Brooklyn, N. Y. The statement has caused something of a stir among St. John’s ]iarishioners here, who have heard nothing of Mr. Strong's resignation, and, of course, are not inclined to believe the report. The rector and his family are at White Bluff and will not return to the city before to-morrow. Mr. W. S. Bogart, one of the wardens of St. Johns, said yesterday that while he can not speak authoritatix ely he is satisfied that there Is no truth in the report. Several weeks ago Mr. Strong received a very urgent call to the rectorship of the Brooklyn church, which he considered for a time and which in- finally declined. So urgent was the call that a fow days before Easter Mr. Strong received a telegram asking him to wire his immediate acceptance that it might lie an nounced on Easter Sunday. He replied that it was impassible for him to accept. The report in the Churchtnan that the call has been accepted, it is supposed, grew out of the apparent understanding on the part of the Brooklyn church that everything was arranged. The congregation of St. John’s will not consent to a change of rec tors so long as Mr. Strong is able to fill the position which he has tilled so acceptably since he came here. CARING FOR~ THE "ORPHANS. The Work of the Female Orphan Be nevolent Society. Capt. Henry Blun, President of the Fe male Orphan Benevolent Society, has sub mitted liis tenth annual report. Tliesociety has boon chartered and now has corporate powers and has also power to receive and accept bequests of every kind, to own and hold real and (icrsonal projiorty, and become the guardian of white female orphans. The children are under the care of the Sisters of Mercy. The total number cared for during last year is forty-seven, of which eleven were provided with homes, leaving thirty-six still in the society’s charge. The officers of the society for 1887 are as follows: Honorary President—Bishop of Savannah. President- Hcnrv Blun. Vice President—'lartin Cooley. Secretary—P. F. Gleason. Trea.su i vr—Peter Rei I ly.

It is understood that Chief Adolph Fer nandez, of the Savannah Fire Department, contemplates resigning, having lunl the offer of a good position in the Philadelphia Fire Department. Ho was formerly connected with that, department and held a prominent position on il tor several years. He was made chief of the Savannah department just aft'T Ynmacraws big tire. Under liis management the department has become one of the most efficient in the country. A new lire engine company has boon estab lished with anew engine house, and the whole department is well equipped. Over in Charleston. The Summerville Creoaoting Company has moved its machinery from Summerville to Charleston. It is expected that nearly every member of tiie Governor’s staff will lw present in Charleston on April 30.

THE HOME CLUB’S FOURTH DE FEAT AT NASHVILLE. Umpire Burbridgo’s Decision on a Foul Ball Gives the Tennesseeans Two Runs and Loses Savannah the Game —The Clubs Evenly Matched in the Field—Memphis Defeats Charleston and New Orleans Shuts Out Mobile. The home club after having suffered three defeats at Memphis was defeated again at Nashville yesterday. The club’s backers are beginning to think that defeats are get ting to be a little monotonous, and that it is about time to call a halt and win a game or two. Yesterday’s game, however, was not lost through bail playing, or because Nnsh ville is a bettor team, but it was umpired away. Both teams played an even game, and are about evenly matched. Bradley’s men batted McArthur for 13 hits, while the home club got 11 hits off Nashville. There was some doubt as to McArthur, but he pitched a steady game and worked hard. The results at Memphis and Mobile were what everybody expected. The Memphians laid out Charleston s to 1, and New Orleans won at Mobile. Burbridge Gave the Game. Nashville, Tf.nn., April 21.—The um pire gave to-day’s game to Nashville, but Savannah won it, in spite of the fact that the official score stands 7 to (i in Nashville’s favor. In the fifth inning when Nashville was at the bat and two men were out and two men on bases, Raxes knocked a long foul just outside the foul line. The men on bases came home and Hayes went to second, but seeing where the ball went started back. Umpire Burliridge, however, to everybody’s surprise decided Hayes safe at second and the two runnere fairly in. This was the only feature of tho game, which was other wise a very ordinary one. The score tells all there is of it: NASIIVILEE. A.B. It. B.H P.O. A. E.

Memphis, April 21. —A large crowd wit nessed the opening game of the series be tween Memphis and Charleston at Citizens’ Park tiffs afternoon. Memphis virtually won the game in the first inning, scoring seven times. The pitcher of the opposing team stood the punishment like a man, how ever, and kept the Browns from scoring but one run thereafter. Charleston accorded their boxman excellent support after the first disastrous inning, and played a good up-hill gome. Smith, for Memphis, pitched his usual steady game, and the back stop work of Crotty was good. In fact, the work of the whole team was excellent. The features of the game were Carl’s home run hit, scoring Charleston’s only run, and the brilliant work of the outfielders of both teams. Some terrific drives were made to ward the fielders, but everything was gob bled. Manager Pow ell lias a fine team, and to-morrow's game will undoubtedly lie much closer.

This species of provincialism has always been a serious drawback to the game.” Tiie World’s Championship. The impression seems to prevail among a good many bast ball reporters that the Chi cagos have won from the St. Louis club the title of “Champions of the World.” This is not so. If there ever was such a title, says O. P. Caylor, St. Louis still holds it. The agreement for the last series calls for nine games.
