8 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 CHARGES UNFOUNDED.

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. The Savannah Yacht Club to Honor Its Lady Friends.

Unless the weather prevents the fulfillment of the programme the day will lie as pleasantly spent a* have others that have been devoted to the same delightful oeciqiatioii in other years.

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.

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.

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. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Vice President Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, denies that there is any rumor that the company intends to re move its shops to Birmingham. The Savannah, Dublin and Western rail road expects to use the steel rails bought for the extension of the Macon and ('ovmgton railroad in building the road from Macon toward Savannah. The rails will be re turned as soon as connection is made with Havanttah. The Morning News has received from the traffic department of the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway Com pany an attractively gotten up little work • Where to go and What to do.” It is full of interesting information about many things other than railroads. 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. The Central’s New Bonds.
