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.

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.” Local Personal. Col. Charles H. Olmstead will deliver the prizes at the annual commencement of the School for Boys, at Masonic Temple on Fri day evening. Rev. Thomas Boone, Rector of Christ church, who has been il! for some time, will leave on the steamer for New York on Fri day. The extent of his absence will depend upon his health.

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..
