TWO HOURS IN CAUCUS.
CITY COUNCIL’S TWENTY-MINUTE
SESSION AFTERWARD.
The Garbage to Be Removed From the
City Boundaries, Provided It Does
Not Cost Over SIOO a Week—Alder-
Man Bogart’s Veto Bill -The Quaran
antine Investigation.
It took the City Council just twenty min
utes last night to dispose of matters which
it was two hours ami a quarter discussing in
caucus. From Bo'clock uiftil 10:15 the bounl
sat with closed doom. A few people who
felt an interest in knowing what was done
waited in the Council chamber until nearly
10 o'clock, and then left.
THE SECRET CAUCUS.
Nobody outside of the board is supposed
to know what transpires in caucus, but oc
casionally there leaks out what was intended
to be kept a state secret. A part of last
night’s debate in caucus was in regard to
the City Surveyor-ship. The necessity for
an assistant Surveyor has for a long time
lieen apparent. The board has discussed
the matter in caucus, but no actioi! has yet
been taken.
The chief matter which the
Council had to deal with, and
for which the meeting was held was the re
moval of garbage from the city on Sunday.
A resolution was passed instructing the
Mayor and the Street and Lane Committee
to make such arrangement for its removal
as tltpy may see fit, provider! the cost dries
not exceed §IOO per week.
THE mayor’s VETO POWER.
Alderman Bogart's bill, conferring the
veto power upon the Mayor, was reud and
tabled until to-morrow night. The bill gives
the Mayor the right to veto all
ordinances, and all resolutions authorizing
an expenditure of money. It provides that
he shall be allowed five days after tho pas
sage of the ordinance or resolution to tile his
approval or dissent. The Council, however,
has the right under the bill to pass any or
dinance or resolution over his veto by a two
thirds vote of all members. There was some
discussion in regard to the five-day provis
ion, and to allow the hoard time to fully
consider it, the bill was laid over. It will
tome up at the regular meeting to-morrow
night.
THE QUARANTINE INVESTIGATION.
The quarantine investigation, which was
ordered by the City Council two weeks ago
at the request of the Health Officer, will
begin this afternoon. The investigating
committee is composed of the Mayor and
Aldermen Duncan, Haines and Nichols.
Fourteen witnesses have already been sum
moned, and the investigation is expected to
occupy several days.
CADETS BEFORE THE TARGET.
Private Mell Wine the Company
Medal—The Skirmish Shooting.
The Savannah Cadets held their annual
rifle contest at the Greenwich Park range
yesterday afternoon. The company medal was
shot for and was won by Private E. B. Mell
on a score of 10. The shooting was not up
to the standard, owing to the glaring light
on the targets.
The Cadets left the city at 3 o’clock, and
at 4 o’clock they were at the range. The
shooting was at 300 yards, under Creed
moor rules. Thirty-six men constested.
There were three classes.
In the first-class Pay Member E. W. Cub
bedge made the highest score, 18, and won
the first prize, a handsome silver-mounted
fruit dish.
Veteran Member E. 8. Derby won the
prize in the second-class, a toilet set, on a
score of 17.
Private ,T. F. Mallory won the prize in
tho third-class, a silver butter dish, on a
score of 10.
The ununiformedj pay and honorary
members' prize, a silver card receiver, was
won by Pay Member T. F. Thomson on
a score of 20, the highest score
that was made. Capt. Robert Fnliigant
and pay member A. 8. Baron were among
the contestants in this class, but both failed
to equal Mr. Thomson’s score.
Private Bragdon was awarded the prize
for the lowest score, u pah - of boxing gloves.
Out of a possible score of 25 he made 2.
Capt. H. M Branch made the highest
score among tho commissioned officers and
was presented with a lienutifui gold medal.
The companv medal, which Private Mell
won. was held last year by Sergt. Lovell.
After the individual contests came the
skirmish drill and platoon shooting, which
was the most interesting part of the pro
gramme. The skirmish drill was by two
platoons, commanded by Lieuta, Brooks and
Mell. The firing was first at 200 yards at
the sound of the bugle; tln-n at ISO yards,
and finally at 100 yards. Lieut, Brooks’
platoon went into the field first,
aud scored 100. Lieut. Mell’s platoon
scored 04. In the platoon shooting
Lieut. Brooks’ platoon again won, ou a
score of 360 against 30'.’ hy Lieut. Mel 's
platoon. The bugle drill is u new feature of
the Cadets’ school. Bugler Frank L. Cur
ley, of the Guards’ hand, gave excellent ser
vice during both the platoon and skirmish
shooting.
Aside from the had light on the targets,
the afternoon was delightful for shooting.
Quite a number of the Cadets’ friends
wont out late in the afternoon aud saw the
skirmishing.
The corps will hold its annual picnic early
next month, prolmbly at Tybee.
LADIES TO SAIL IN YACHTS.
Tho Savannah Yacht Club’s Regatta on
Thursday.

find a berth awaiting them aboard the trim
boats. Each yacht will have a requisite
number of sailors, but ita other ballast will

The club has many friends among the Judies,
and their interest in its well-being is quite
equal to that of its masculine members. Jn
recognition of this Interest the club places
itself at the command of its fair patrons once
a year and devotes itsdearest efforts to their
entertainment.
On Thursday a llrot of ten yachts, divided
into two classes, will suil over the course L -
fore tho club house, and the afternoon will
be riven op to the race. The nrizes will Ik*
a silver cup and a silver pitcher, and the
rivalry for the*) budges of merit will lie far
greater thaiy in the usual regatta where life
and enthusiasm is lacking in projiortion to
the absence of the ladies.
Aft-r the race refreshments will lie served
anil then a hop will begin, and if the ladies
nro licit sufficiently tired when they conclude
the race they can complete their exlmustion
tripping the fight fantastic..

awakened from their peaceful repose to be
fined 50c., and in default of payment to lie
sent to jail for one day. They went down
into their trousers pocket* and produced the

INSURANCE MEN’S VIEWS.
Effect of the Southeastern Tariff
Association’s New Measures.
The cotton men are very much interested
in tlr action of the Southeastern Tariff As
sociation in abolishing the guarantee clause
in cotton insurance policies. The Morn
ing News gave yesterday an outline of
wluit the convention accomplished. Mr. VV.
H. Daniel, of Haines & Daniel, who has
just returned from Old Poiqt Comfort, was
asked the object in doing away with the
clause.
“The principal reason,” he replied, “is
that it did not work satisfactorily. It was
all right if the assured had his own ware
house, but in the case of one who rented a
warehouse ami re-rented storage, it
was not. Suppose the house had
a capacity of 4.000 bales and
was subrented to four different receivers of
cotton. The warehouseman could not guar
antee that not more than 1,000 bales would
be stored, nor could any of the others, so,
although the condition of each would be
such as to make the clause applicable, none
of them could avail themselves of it. Then,
in the case of the owner of the warehouse,
though he could r uarantee how much cot
ton could be stereo, he was always anxious
lest the limit should be exceeded aud liis
policy forfeited.”
“Will the rates there be based upon the
warehouse capacity, regardless of the
amount in store J”
“Not exactlv. They will be liased upon
the capacity, but with duo regard for wtiat
has been done at the request and demand of
the insurance agents to wal'd improving the
warehouses ami increasing the safety of
them by providing fire extinguishing appa
ratus. Asa rule, the rates will remain
about what they are. There will be but
few changes.”
“What will lie the effect of the resolution
regarding joint stock mutual companies!"
“I can hardly say. The cause of the
resolution is this: Take the Atlanta Home
for example. It pays a dividend to the
stockholders, and if there Is auy surplus it
is or is not divided among the policy holder*
at the discretion of tne directors. The
Home paid a dividend of 10 per cent, to the
policy holders last year. That gives them
an advantage of 10 per cent, over companies
that do not pay dividends to policy holders,
and the whole matter rests right there. It
is the competition that the other companies
are trying to stop. They do not want the
joint stock mutual companies to pay policy
dividends, because it gives them too great an
advantage, but I don't believe it can be
stopped, because it is afharter right. It is
provided for in the charter, and the others
will have to do business on their merit if
they have auy, or do the liest they can if
they have none.”

THE CHILD TYRANT.
An Infant Whloh Insisted on Paddling
In Mutton Gravy.
From Fraser's Magazine.
A droll anecdote illustrative of parental
fondness is related of Quick, the comedian.
He had invited a friend to dinner, when the
following scene took place between himself
and his daughter,a spoilt child of 6 years old.
The main dish on the table, when uncovered,
excited the curiosity of Miss Quick, who
either had not seen the joint before or had
forgotten the name of it, which she now
eagerly demanded, and on being told that It
was ' a saddle of mutton she
stood up and prompty aunouneed
her intention of riding upon
it forthwith. To this preposterous recrea
tion the parents were fain to entreat the lit
tle imp's forbearance. In vain, for she de
clared saddles wire made to riae upon, and
to ride she was resolved. After much ado
her patient father and mother luckily sug
gested that the obvious heat of the seat she
aspired to and the inconvenience likely' to
arise from such exercise would distress her
and spoil her new frock. The difficulty
seemed surmounted and the child desisted
from further importunity, but immediately
after perceiving the dish almost overflow
with the juice of the mutton she cried out:
“Oh, let me put my foot in the gravy. I
will put my foot in the gravy.”
The father, albeit not unused to see such
eccentric fancies, was alittled startled at his
sweet pet's desire, and exclaimed in a tone
of assumed wonder and deprecation, “My
precious love, what a preposterous thing you
propose. It's quite out of the question.
How, do lie a good child, and let me help
her—to some mutton.” “Oh,” reiterated the
little treasure, “I will put my- feet in the
gravy first.” In vain the devoted parents
argued, threatened and coaxed; in vain
promised that the next day they would be
without a visitor, and she might then do as
she pleased. All, all in vain, for upon a
more determined opposition the sweet little
angel yelled out her wishes in such a piercing
key that her mother, a very mild-mannered
woman, addressed her husband, “My dear.”
she said, “I'm afraid we shall have no peace
until we ullow the dear child to do as she
likes.” ‘Well, but my love,” urged Mr. Q.
in reply, a little ashamed of their unnatural
weakness before their guest, “What will
Mr. say to such a proceeding! It is
really so improper!”
Mr. , willing to see to what a length
extreme parental folly would go, withheld
both his opinion and permission, preferring
a state of neutrality; and Mr. Quick, find
ing the little tyrant’s determination grow
warmer every minute, and the mutton grow
colder, proposed a compromise—namely,
that the little darling should have another
dish brought in and placed in a corner of
the room, with some of the gravy in it, and
then raddle about, whilst themselves and
their friend were at dinner, and return to
table when the fruit came in. No; “the
treasure,” at the very top of her
voice, once more declared that she
would have the dish and nothing but
the dish before her, and further that
she would abate not one drop of the gravy.
At this perplexing juncture Quick turned
toward his friend in apology for the scene
liefore him, assuring him at the same time
that it was of '‘no use to thwart the dear
child, who would have her way.” Then,
caiiing for another dish, the poor father
placed the shivering saddle upon it, and lift
ing that containing the gravy from the table,
carried it to the furthest corner of the room..
He was followed by the "little duck,'' who,
after a persnavive'ldss from the goose, her
father, consented to have her shoes removed,
and to remain splashing about until the des
sert appeared upon the table.
