XO VETO FOR THE MAYOR.
COUNCIL REFUSES TO APPROVE
ALDERMAN BOGART’S BILL.
Corporation Attorney Cunningham
Resigns -Alderman Duncan’s Ordi
nance to Prohibit Excavating in the
3ity Without Permission of the
Health Board.
The City Council changed its mind last
aight in regard to Alderman Bogart's hill to
amend the charter by confen-ing the veto
power upon the Mayor, and refused to ap
prove the bill. A month ago it voted
ananimously in favor of the proposed
imendmeiit, and the Corporation Attorney
was instructed to draft the hill. The bill
was read at Monday's adjourned meeting,
but was tabled and made a special order for
last night,
A FLOP OVER ON THE VETO BILL.
The Council’s action occasions some sur
prise since it had already unanimously
voted its approval of the measure. When
the bill was read Alderman Thomas objected
to the five day clause which allows the
Mayor that time in which to file his dissent
or approval of any ordinance or resolution
that may require his signature, on the
ground that exigencies may arise when it
might lie necessary to vote an immediate
appropriation for some purpose. The resolu
tion would then have to lie over five days
for the Mayor’s consideration.
The clause requiring n two-thirds vote of
all members of Council to pass a measure
over the Mayor’s veto, lie objected to on the
ground that during the summer mouths it
Is frequently the case that not two-thirds of
the members are in the city.
Alderman Myers said that he could not
see any necessity for the bill anyway.
MR. BOGART WILLING TO AMEND.
Alderman Bogart said that he was willing
to accept any amendment that might be
deemed advisable. He brought the
matter before Council two months ago
so that ample time might be had in which
to discuss the advisability of the measure.
It had been discussed and the Council
unanimously voted its approval of it. Ho
■was still willing to make any change in the
bill which might render it more effective.
DEFEATED BY ONE VOTE.
After considerable debate a vote was
taken on the recommendation of the hill to
the Senator and Representatives and it was
defeated by one vote. Aldermen Bogart,
Meli. Mills, Schwarz and Nichols voted for
the bill and Aldermen Thomas. Reid, Dun
car Haines, McDonough and Myers against
it.
The bills to exempt from city taxation
certain property in the western extension,
and to relieve the city from the expease of
maintaining the City Court, were approved.
Alderman Duncan introduced an ordi
nance prohibiting excavating for any pur
pose within the city limits without a fiermit
from the Sanitary Board.
ATTORNEY CUNNINGHAM RESIGNS.
Corporation Attorney H. C. Cunningham’s
resignation was read and it occasioned consid
erable surprise. Mr. Cunningham is asooi
ated with Gen. A. R. Lawton, counsel
for the Central Railroad, Mild
during the General’s absence he will
have charge of the Company's
legal affai'-s. The large amount: of business
requiring his attention mvessitated his re
tirement from the City Attorneyship.
Alderman Bogart, in moving the accept
ance of the resignation, said that he did so
only because he understood that tlieiv was
no alternative. He spoke at length of the
valuable service which Mr. Cunningham
has rendered the city.
Alderman Thomas seconded the motion,
and expressed his regret that the city should
lose so faithful and competent an official.
The resignation was accepted, and the Clerk
was instructed to advertise on election at
the next meeting to fill the office. Mr. Cun
ningham will hold the office until his suc
cessor qualifies.
KEEPING TO NIGIIT SESSIONS.
Alderman Nichols’ resolution to change
the hours of meeting during July, August
and Ssptemtier from 8 p. m. until 4 p. m.
came up. Several Aldermen said that they
wore willing to vote for the change during
July and August, and to popularize the
move Alderman Nichols amended his reso
lution in accordance with the suggestion.
The resolution required a two-thirds
vote to pass it ami it was de
feated. The vote stood 7 to 4. The
question was raised whether that was a two
thirds vote, but the Mayor ruled that it was
not . Had the resolution iieen adopted it
would in a measure have done away with
the two and three hour secret caucuses
which carry the regular sessions not infre
quently until after 11 o’clock before an
adjournment is reached.
SURVEYING TRACKLESS PATHS.
The Signal Service Mapping Out the
Course of the Winds.
The Savannah signal statiou has been in
operation since Jan. 1, 1871, a period of six
teen years, and the records that have been
kept with so much care and accuracy during
that time are beginning to be of value in de
termining with some degree of certainty
the ways and habits of Dame Nature in re
frard to the weather, though, of course, she,
ike all of her sex, lias many freaks and fan
cies, which sometimes puts the signal service
to a complete rout.
One of the efforts of the meteorological
branch of the government is to discover if
the wind is the libertine that he is accused
of being, of if he more closely resemlfies the
steadier part of humanity, follows in his
course an unsurveyed path, other than
wander whither his rakish will may lead.
Assistant Observer David has carefully
compiled a record of the direction of the
winn from Jan. 1, 1871, hi Dec. 81, 1886, and
inclusive, and he finds that the winds do
blow in certain general directions at certain
periods of the year and those general direc
tions and specified periods as Follows: Jan
uary, NW; February, NW; March, S;
April, BVV; May, S; June, HW ; July, SW:
August, SW: Septem her, NE: October, NE;
Novomlier, NW: December, NW.
As is implied by the phrase general
direction, it is not tne intention to convey
the idea that from Jail. 1 until Feb. 28 the
wind blows steadily from the northwest,
and on May 1 it whips around to the south,
but that the directions indicated are the
prevailing directions during the time speci-

The quarantine investigation, which was
begun on Tuesday, was resumed yesterday
afternoon and was brought to a close lart
night.

to the City Council stated that, after sifting
the evidence, it found nothing to justify n
reflection upon the Health Officer or anyone
connected with the management of the
quarantine department.

LEGGETT’S FATE SEALED.
The Governor Refuses to Interfere—
The Execution To-Morrow.
AViiliam Clifton, Esq., returned from At
lanta yesterday morning. His mission there
was to lay before the Governor the papers
in the Leggett murder case, and if possible
to secure a commutation of the condemned
man’s sentence to imprisonment for life.
The Governor was out of the city when
Mr. Clifton reached the capital and did not
return until yesterday. The papers were
filed at the Executive office, and after wait
ing two days to see the Governor Mr. Clif
ton returned to Savannah, having ex
hausted the last measure in Leggett’s
behalf. Last night he received a
telegram from Secretary Nesbitt of
the Executive Department, saving
that the Governor refused to commute Tax
gett’s sentence. He had gone over the pa
pei-s carefully, but decided that there was
nothing to warraiff his interference.
Leggett's last hope is now gone and he
will hang to-morrow. Just before he left
'here for Atlanta. Mr. Clifton wrote the
condemned man, telling him that he would
do all ho could for him, but
that he must not hope for much. Leggett's
reprieve expires to-night. Eleven o'clock to
morrow is the hour fixed for his execution.
Sheriff Adamson hud every preparation
made when the condemned man’s reprieve
came a month ago, so there is nothing to do
but to await the hour of the execution.
Mr. Clifton has used every effort in Leg
gett’s behalf, believing that he was irresjion
sible for the crime which he committed, but
the last measure has failed and nothing now
remains but to await tlio execution of the
death penalty.
THE FORDS’ THIRD NIGHT.
An Excellent Programme for To-Night
—Miss Sternheimer’s Appearance.
Tonight the Fords will givi their third
performar.ee of the season at the Theatre.
The play will be “Home, - ’ the very enter
taining production of Mr. Robertson. The
association has been hard at work preparing
for the presentation, and has succeeded iu
perfecting all its arrangements so that it
can now assuro its audience that the piece
will be given with all the accessories neces
sary for its most favorable production.
The cast is good, as usual, and it
is safe to say that on this
occasion the Fonts will sustain the well
deserved reputation which they bear. The
rehearsal la6t night was smooth and elegant.
The lines were all excellently read, and the
mechanical part of the piece worked admir
ably. Preceding the play, the favorites,
Lawrence Hanley and Thomas McCabe,
will give the quarrel scene from Julius
Caesar, Mr. McCabe playing the part of
Brutus and Mr. Hanley that of Cassius.
Miss Isaliel Stemheimer has consented to
follow them with a vocal piece. Millard’s
“Waiting.” Miss Sternheimer is shortly to
make her debut with the Fords.
The sale of scats so far has been very flat
tering, and it predicts an excellent audience
for to-night. Several theatre parties have
been made up. anil the ladies will all atteud
wit hout hate.
The Fords iiave received an invitation to
visit Macon and give a performance there
on the Fourth of July, and if the managers
can make satisfactory arrangements the in
vitation will to accepted.
THE WATERJSUPPLY.
The Necessity for a Reservoir at the
Water Works.
The work on the new artesian wells at the
water works is being pushed as rapidly as it
well can be. There is still a good deal of
complaint about the lack of pressure in the
city. The water works officials say that
they are doing their best, however, to
furnish an adequate supply.
The artesian water is now drawn direct
from the, wells. It is impregnated with gas
and l)eing led aft on re into the mains with
out any opportunity for the gas to escape the
pumping is seriously interfered with. The
Water Works Committee is considering the
building of a reservoir into which the water
will be led from the wells and thence pumped
into the mains. Aside from the gas theory
the water supply from the wells is yet in
sufficient, and the force required to carry
the water from the bottom of the wells
through the pumps diminishes the pressure
in the city. Several breaks in the pump
ing machinery have occurred during
the past two or three weeks attributed to
the gas which collects in the pipes.
The building of a standpipe simile r to those
in several large cities at the North has
lieen suggested, but its great cost necessi
tated the abandoning of the idea. It was
est imated that a stand pipe high enough to
force the water through the eity would cost
not less than #175,000. The old reservoir in
Franklin squnro has not been used since the
new system was started.
LADIES’ DAY AT THUNDERBOLT.

tlie time in dancing until 10 o’clock, when

A Young Savannah Actor's Success.
The Morning News copies from a San
Francisco exchange the following opinions
anent the performance of Mr. James Neill
in the juvenile part in “Held by the Ene
my,” recently produced with great success
at the Baldmn Theatre in that city:
“The cast throughout was excellent.
Among those worthy of special praise was
Mr. Neill. The ‘Southerner,’ presented by
Mr. Neill, was not the usual stage charac
terization, sallow, long-haired and angular,
but a fiery, impetuous, commanding soul,
undaunted by his desperate surroundings
and winning by his manliness and out
spoken courage the admiration even of his
enemies.”
Mr. Neill’s engagement with “Held by the
Enemy” ends on July '34. He will leave on
July 25 for Savannah, where, with Mrs.
Neill, he will remain one week before be
ginning the season on Aug. 20 with “Fred
Brytoirs Forgiven Company.” For this
company Mr. and Mrs. Neill are both en
gaged.

KEEPING UP BASE BALL.
The Amateur Savannah Club Organ
ized-Other Base Ball News.
The Amateur Savannah Base Ball Club
was organized last night. If Savannah
can’t have professional base ball it will
have amateur base ball. There are already
half a dozen amateur clubs in the city. That
organized last night is a result of the Satnr
ilay half-holiday movement. The club is
composed chiefly of clerks from the whole
sale houses. Mr. Dave S. Einstein has been
elected President and will have the business
management of the club. Mr. L. R. Robin

noon with the Amateurs and the manage
ment hopes to arrange games for every
Saturday afternoon during the summer.
Great Playing at New Orleans.
New Orleans, June 15.—The base ball
park to-ilay was no place for a man with
heart disease, for the game was the most
'exciting and hardest fought of the season.
Ewing and Black both pitched effectively
and were well backed up at critical points.
New Orleans got on to Black in the first
inning. C&mpau hit a home run to the
right field seat, the crowd losing the ball.
Cartwright made a single and McVey a
three-bagger, which, added to Andrews’
errors, only yielded two runs. Memphis
tied the score in the sixth inning on Force’s
double, sacrifices by Me A leer and Grotty,
and singles by Black and McKeogh. Now
Orleans male the winning run in the
seventh, Cnnipau reaching first on a fumble
by Andrews, stole second, reached third on
a passed ball and scored on Powell’s hit
through third.
In tne ninth Memphis had two men ou
liases and nobody out, but Ale Keogh wasput
out for turning the wrong way at first.
Black was forced out ami Smith struck out,
Memphis kicking against the decisions.
Force aud McKeogh played a great infield
game. Black's watching of oases was a
Feature. Vauglm’s catching was the feature
for New Orleans. The locals left for Bir
mingham to-night. Memphis goes home by
steamboat to-morrow. Geiss, local second
baseman, is crippled awl did not play. Um
pire Skinner complains that he was badly
treated by President Morrow iu being re
leased without any protests against him.

Unhappy Editors.
Most of the South Carolina editors have
returned from their trip North. The
Charleston .Vein* and Courier correspondent
se.ys that the returned pilgrims are not very
enthusiastic over their trip and are indis
posed to talk alsmt it. There were one or
two incidents, both on the outgoing and in
coming voyage, that were not calculated to
iinpiv.,' the editorial mind favorably, and
of wiii 'li the pilgrim* w ill doubtless have
something to sty in their respective papers
a* soon us they get settled at homo and are
once more In :: condition to write.

TALL HATS.
The Theatre is Not the Place to Wear
Thera.
Editor Morning News: When you so
aptly suggested in your issue of June 9,
“That the ladies should attend the per
formance of the Fords without their hats,”
I thought it an admirable idea and was sure
that nearly every lady would adopt it, and
was surprised to see so many ladies and
young girls with hats and bonnets, large
and small, towering hows and waving
plumes, completely hiding everything in
front of the wearers, and surely shutting
out all chance of seeing stage or actors by
the unfortunates who sat behind
said hats. After having nearly dis
located mv neck in ineffectual
attempts to see, I gave up in despair, and
contented myself with hearing the play.
I looked about me and 1 found there were
about a dozen or more Sweet-looking young
Indies who had very sensibly left their hats
off for the evening. lam sure it was much
appreciated by the parties who sat behind
them. Everyone knows how highly a hat
covered with feathers, flowers, ribbons and
lace is admired by the average young lady.
I might even admit that a fair share of
older ladies are not entirely indifferent to a
handsome hat or bonnet, and I can under
stand how such tv one can wear a hat
of the height I speak of to church,
for there, there is only the hat to be seen,
and it really makes very little difference
whether it be tall or short, broad or narrow,
so it is not so hideously ugly that it makes
one forget the minister, pennon and every
thing else in the universe except the hat.
But I cannot comprehend how one, be she
old or young, pretty or plain, can wear a
bat to "the theatre (or other place of the
kind) that looks more like an inverted
bushel basket stuck full of feathers than like
a hat. 1 have still one in my thoughts
that looked as if the wearer in some
unlucky moment had laid it upon
a chair with its feathers and flowers and
some other unfortunate had sot down on it.
As there a few of this kind to be seen on the
streets of the city, your readers will prob
ably recognize them by my description.
There are always people who go to any
place of amusement, who do not care
whether any one else sees anything or not,
so they have a good view, This class gen
erally are successful in making every one
around them more or less uncomfortable,
and they very complacently enjoy the dis
comforts of their neighbors. Now.
those ladies who prefer to wear some
kind of a hat or covering
for the head, might wear a small bonnet or
headdress, which would be much more com
fortable and appropriate for evening, where
there is an audience. Your suggestion is a
good one, and worthy the thoughtful con
sideration of all who hereafter attend the
summer entertainments. If they adopt it,
I feel satisfied they will receive the thanks
of u grateful public. An Observer.

About Various Lines.
Vice President Smith, of the Louisville

any rumor that the company intends to re
move its shops to Birmingham.
The Savannah, Dublin and Western rail

Chief Engineer Gardiner, of the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad, has been in Augusta
making arrangements to change the already
projected route from Augusta to Blackville
for the coast line that is to run from Sum
ter, S. C., to Augusta. The cause of the
change is due to the steep grade between
this (joint and Blackville, which exceeds at
its highest point thirty feet. The new pro
posed survey will reduce the length of the
road six miles, and will run six miles west
of the present survey.
