THE RIVER AND HARBOR.
CONGRESSMAN NORWOOD WORK
ING FOR THE NEW PROJECT.
His Conference With the Savannah
Harbor Improvement Committee
How the New Work Will be Brought
Before Congress-Secretary Kndi
cott’s Approval of the Project Asked.
Mayor Lester, Capt. John Flannery,
President of the Cotton Exchange, Capt.
F. M. Hull, President of the Board of Trade,
and Mr. H. M. Comer, Chairman of the
River and Harbor Improvement Committee,
held a conference with Representative Nor
wood yesterday in reference to the new
project for the improvement of the Savan
nah harbor. Congress will meet next
mouth, and Representative Norwood says
that he will look after Savannah’s interests
at the earliest possible moment.
SURVEY FOR THE YEW PROJECT.
The survey upon which the project for
securing 38 feet of water from the cross
tides to the sea is based was completed by
Lieut. Carter last July. The plans were
forwarded to Gen. Gillmore and
were embodied in his report to the
Chief of Engineers last month.
Representative Norwood wrote to Gen.
Duane in reference to getting the
project into the book of estimates, and a
few days ago he received the following
reply:
Office Chief of Engineers. U. S. Akmv, I
Washington. Oct. ii. 18S7. i
Boh, T. SI. Xorwoorf. M. ■ . Savannah , On:
Sir.—l have the honor to state in reply to
your letter of Oct. 25, that the report of Gen.
Q. A. (iillmore on the improvement of the Savan
nah river will be submitted to the House of
Representatives as soon as Congress meets.
The report contains project aiul estimate of
cost for obtaining a channel of twenty-eight
feet depth, and my indorsement will stab' this,
should Congress approve the project that sfiOn.-
000 can profitably bo expended during the com
illg year. This estimate cannot be included in
the book of estimates as 1 am not authorized to
include in this list estimates for works that have
not been already authorized by Congress.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
.1. C. IH ane,
Brig. (den. Chief of Engineers.
REPRESENTATIVE NORWOOD’S PART.
Upon receipt of this letter Mr. Norwood
wrote at once to the Seeaetary of War,
stating the importance of the project and
urging the Secretary’s approval of it. As
soon as Congress meets Mr. Norwood will
introduce a bill appropriating the #fsoo,o*X)
called for in the estimates for the new
project. The River and Harbor Committee
will consider the new project in connection
with the present one for twenty-two
feet <>f water, the estimates for which call
for SIBO,OOO. It will be some time liefore
Georgia is reached by the eommitti'e, prob
ably not before February or March, Mr.
Norwood says, but when the bill is taken
up he will notify the Savannah committee
and will arrange a hearing before the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors. Then is
the time for Savannah's interests to be
urged in the strongest possible manner.
TO WAIT FOR CONGRESS.
Mr. Norwood says that there is no neces
sity for any one to go to YVashington now.
Nothing can be accomplished before Con
gress meets, and then the
matter will have to be considered by
the Committee on Rivers and Harbors before
anything can be done. Ho is in hope that
the Secretary of War will approve the new
project, in which case his approval will have
weight with the committee. Mr. Norwood
explained the situation fully to the commit
rpe which and Ml "in him vesterdav, and it
will prepare itself to appear before the
House committee at the proper time.
THE SCAVENGER DEPARTMENT.
A Plan to Have the City Instead of a
Contractor Remove the Garbage.
The resolution of Alderman Thomas to
appoint a committee to consider the advisa
bility of the city’s removing the garbage in
stead of having it. done under contract is, said
Mr. Thomas yesterday, the result of frequent
suggestions that the city could operate a
scavenger department to a great advantage,
and accomplish more by removing the
refuse itself, than by letting it out
to a contractor. In speaking of the
matter Mr. Thomas said that he
wished it to be understood that the Council
had no complaint to make against the way
in which the contractor has done his work,
but the new plan is considered because
probably the city may be able to obtain a
greater benefit from the outlay of the same
amount of money.
The city will not be able to remove the
garbage any cheaper by having its own de
partment, than by letting the work under
contract, but there are many different
pieces of work that need attention during the
year, and no matter how carefully the con
tract is drawn it is impossible to include
them all. After the contract is made the
contractor cannot lie compiled to attend to
them, but if the city had a scavenger de
partment ol its own this difficulty would
not arise. The teams and carts could also
be utilized in other departments, and
in that case there would Ire a
saving. The creation of the
department would involve a heavy outlay
at first. Teams, carts nnd harness would
have to be bought and stables built, and a
superintendent would have to be provided,
but after the fii-st outlay the expenses of
operating the department would certainly
not be greater than under the contract sys
tem, but the benefits would. The commit
tee wilt also consider the suggestion to burn
all the refuse, except the manure. This
would be a healthful disposition of it, and
after the nts-essary appliances hud been pro
vided there would bo little or no expense.
The present contract will expire in January,
but the committee will make its report its
soon as it ran consider the mdtter.

MR. CLARKE'S LAST NIGHT.
He Closes His Savannah Engagement
With “Toodles” and “A Round Trip.”
Mr. John S. Clarke closed his Savannah
engagement last night liefore a fair audience,
though not by any means a>> large as the
performance merited. A double bill was
presented, "A Round Trip,” Mr. Clarke’s
new play, and “Toodles,” in which
he has male his great success.
His “Toodles” is a study of inebriety, never
disgusting, but irresistibly funny r . It stands
out in a framework of the crudest construc
tion—the story of “Farmer Acorn,” his
pretty daughter, her sailor lover, the bad
man, “Grimes,” and the long-lost brother.
The audience laughed whenever Mr. Clarke
came upon the stage simply because it
couldn’t help it. He was “Toodles” as lie
had been “Dr. I’angloss” and “Zekiel Home
spun,” and in all he was ably supported by'
his company. Mr. Crest#n Clarke made
another hit, arid he was often applaudod.
In “The Round Trip” Mr. Clarke played the
part of “Augustus Shad,” and in it he was
as funny as in his other characters. Mr.
Clarke is a comedian, the equal of whom Sa
vannah playgoers seldom have the privilege
of seeing. •

trying then to get her in stays she mistayed
and the other anchor was lost. She came
in here for new anchors.

NOVEMBER ON THE SEAS.
The Hurricane Season Over and Fair
Weather Looked For.
The last pilot chart of the North Atlantic
ocean has just been received. In the fore
cast for November it says: “The West
Indian hurricane, season is practically
ended, nnd the gales which are encountered
with increasing frequency north of the 40th
parallel are mostly from the westward and
northwestward. During the winter
months the usual track of storm
centres, or areas of low bar
ometer is to the eastward across the
Northern United States and Canada, and
then about east northeast over the Atlantic.
During the passage of each of theso areas of
low baromoter westerly gales are felt at
positions to tiie southward of its track. At
feast three or four of these gales are likely
this month to attain the force of a storm.
Little or no ice will be encountered south of
the parallel, and fogs will lie much more
frequent, owing to fb prevailing north
westerly (off shore) winds. The northeast
trades will be light and somewhat variable.”
THE NAPLES’ CREW PROTESTS.
Another Wet Cotton Case to Be Tried—
The Resolute's Cargo to Be Reloaded.
The Naval Court is to resume its sitting
this afternoon to hear the case of the crow
of the Naples vs. Capt. Rulff. This is a
similar case to the one tried last woek. The
cargo of the Naples caught fire and the cot
ton was damaged, and now the crew refuses
to take the vessel to sea if the wet cotton is
reloaded. The Rosolute’s ease will soon
come to a crisis. Capt. Reavely has re
ceived orders from the owners to reload his
cargo nnd take it to Liverpool, and the cap
tain will act in accordance with these in
structions. The crew say they will not take
the cargo across under hatches and they
dare the captain to try and make them. It
seems pretty certain that in the end they
will be discharged and a volunteer crew will
take the ship across.

I liberal patronage.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER t. 1887.
WAR ON THE INDIANS.
The Noble Red Man to be Banished
from Savannah’s Street Corners.
Civilization has steadily but surely
crowded the poor Indian out of its path
way and pushed him into corners more
remote and more remote, from whence
again he has been dr ve , and at each drive
the corner to which ho has been assigned
has lieen reduced in size until now it is a
hard thing to find an Indian, unless the
olfactory nerves are exceedingly sensitive.
Yamacraws, Chickasaws, Piutes, Pawnees,
Utes, Sioux. Apaches and even Diggers
have decreased in numbers until now the
whole United States army cannot find one
of them, though it tramp over the whole
wild West, where rumors of hostile out
breaks can be picked off of almost every
blade of prairie grass.
There is one tribe, however, that hitherto
lias not been molested. The cigar store In
dians, but their place has come to an end.
The paleface has shouldered his musket and
is on the warmth, and in the carnage that
must follow the brave, the squaw and the
papoose all must fall. But not alone the
Indian is the object ot City Marshal Wade’s
hostile design. On Wednesday night Levi
J. Gazan petitioned the City Council to slay
the death-dealing baud of the City Marshal
and permit the only nobleman who remains
in Savannah, since the departure of “Lord”
Paget, to still survive. Mr. Gazan said that
the Due de Garbaloza, whose familiar figure
had been seen at the corner
of Bull and Bry y an streets for fifteen
years, had been ordered into exile
and he pray ed that the Due, the last of fiis
line, might not lie banished after ho had re
mained at his post through w’ind and
weather for lo these many years. City
Marshal Wade says that ‘ r lo these many
years” is ail right, but lo the poor Indian
must go. The cause of this war upon these
relics of this country’s former rulers is the
report that a breaking out is contemplated
by them. A piece was noticed breaking out
of one of them only yesterday and there is
danger that it may spread.* The Indian
agents are responsible for this. The reckless
wav in which guns, tomahawks and Anarch
ists' bomb, done up like a bunch of cigars,
have been placed in their hands, have
given them ail exaggerated idea of their
power. They think they are stronger than
two-for-fives that can be bought in the
stores and they never will know their mis
take until they try to draw one. However
wrong they may be it is hard to get a
notion out of the head of the average
Indian.
There are other things that may be got
out, but they cling to notions tenaciously,
and it is dangerous to fool with the head of
an Indian when he has his tomahawk up
lifted. The reason the Due de Garbaloza
has to go is that ever since he has been here
he has been associating with these Indians,
and there is a slight suspicion that he is the
instigator of the contemplated outbreak.
It has been noticed of late that
his garments seem to have worn out as if a
long period of idleness hail depleted his ex
chequer, and it may be that lie, with cun
ning worthy* a better cause, will incite the
Indians to murder, and sneak into
a clothing store during the excite
ment anil revel in the possession
of anew outfit. The suggestion was
made that probably if lie was given another
coat the impending danger might be averted,
but Marshall Wade says that the city is not
furnishing coats to worn-out aristocrats
this week, and rather than descend to np
peasing this old wretch, he will slay him.
It is fortunate, in view of the danger,
that there are so few of this tribe of In
dians here. If there were as many ns
there are In New York, and they
should all break out at onoe, the rising sun
would light up a desolate scene. The City
Marshal says that if the Indians, and the
Due as well, are hanged eight feet above
the sidewalk, he would nut object to their
remaining, but oven the thought of the car
cass of an Indian hanging night feet .above
the sidewalk on every corner is revolting.
Better far to kill them at once and bury
them decently than to leave them to hang
there through the hot summer months, to
greet the eye and nose of strangers anrl a
Spanish gentleman, too, hanging on one of
the cornei-s of the principal thoroughfares.
The only hanging some Spaniards and In
dians do is around saloons, and they would
feel strangely out of place eight l’eet up in
the air. But fate and City Marshal Yvade
have doomed them, and in a short while the
only thing remaining of the braves who
once roamed these forests and chased the
deer and the early settler will be the remem
brance that all that is mortal of Tomachichi
lies buried under the Gordon monument and
that Yamacraw is thriving.
A ROMANCE
Which is Without Any Foundation
Whatever in Fact.
The Hartford Times which reached this
city yesterday contained the following:
A romantic marriage has just come to light,
in which two young people well-known in New
Haven figured as principals. They are Clifford
\V. Hartridge, one of Yale's crew at New Lon
don in June lasi, and Miss Nellie F. Gallagher, a
pretty young lady of New Haven. Mr. Hart
ridge is a resident of Savannah. Gn., and his
family is one of the wealthiest of that place.
Hartridge had not lieen long a student at Yule be
fore he became acquainted w ith Miss Gallagher,
who was at that time employed in a dry goods
store. They were secretly married within a few
monthß. the bride remained in New Haven, and
Hartridge s relatives knew nothing of the
affair until they came here recently to investi
gate.
Mr.Clifford \Y r . Hartridge. above referred
to, is the son of Maj. A. L. Hartridge, of
this city. He is at present a law student in
Columbia Law School, and is also reading
law in the office of one of the most prom
iueut law firms in the city of New York.
Maj. Hartridge was asked yesterday if
there was any truth in the above notice.
He was greatly surprised when he read it,
and declared at once that he did
not believe there was any truth in
it. Indeed, so confident was he that
it was without any foundation that
he unhesitatingly said that, it was pure fic
tion. He at once telegraphed his son noti
fying him that the paper containing the
publication had reached here. Yesterday
afternoon he received from his son the fol
lowing: “I have just received your tele
gram. I only saw the lie yesterday. I am
going to New Haven and Hartford to-mor
row.” This settles tlie question as to whether
there is any truth in the publication. Doubt
less Mr. Hartridge will find that some ene
my at Hartford has taken this means to do
him an injury.
Local Personal.
Dr. and Mrs. Head have gone North.
They will be absent a month or six weeks.
F. L. Peacock, Esq., of the firm of Pea
cock, Hunt & Cos., was elected a member of
the Board of Trade yesterday.
Dr. B. F. Sheftall, Sanitary Inspector at
Sapelo quarantine station, returned home

the misfortune to have to go into quaran
tine during his administration of affairs at
Sapelo.

THE POST OEFICB SITE.
Some Suggestions Which Mr. Nor
wood Makes About It.
Savannah, Nov. Editor Morning
News: Should Mr. Guerry, the United
States District Attorney, report favorably
on the question of tit e to the
barracks lot the sale to the government will
be perfected within a few days after his re
port. Should he report unfavorably, the
Secretary of Treasury will, no doubt, pro
ceed at once, under the recent act of the
Georgia Legislature, to condemn.
There are some citizens who object to the
barracks site for a post office because it is
too far from the present business centre.
There are others who object because the
purchase by the government will defeat the
project for a large hotel.
I beg to say to both classes of our citizens
that it is not too late, in ray opinion, to
secure the whole of the barracks lot for a
hotel, and to have the post office nearer the
business centre, Mr. 1). (4. Purse is willing
to let any gentleman, or number of gentle
men, have the barracks lot without any ad
vance in price if they will secure another
site for the courts and jxwt office satisfac
tory to the government, and 1 here express
my willingness to co-operate with them in
any effort to induce the Secretary of Treas
ury to accept another eligible sito. Bqt, if
action is taken, it must be done speedily
and before the Secretary of Treasury closes
the pending negotiations for a site.
If nothing should be done by those who
object to the site selected (the barracks) and
the building shall be placed there, I have
no doubt, as I said in my speech at Masonic
Hall, that a subsidiary post office can be
arranged for in the custom building, after
the courts have been provided for elsewhere,
and I shall endeavor to have one estab
lished. T. M. Norwood.
AMERICANS ABROAD.
“As Ithers See Us”—Various Types—
Hotel Experiences.
From Chambers' Journal.
Perhaps it is on the score of the familiar
ity we are gaining with the American
traveler that British people are so ready
with their opinions as to “Americans.” In
a mixed company where the subject is dis
cussed the variety of views expressed are
somewhat apt to to be conflicting, and
truth to tell, even to the impartial judge, a
candid opinion on the point is difficult. To
those who know Americans well it is only
too evident that of late years a marked
change is observable in the character
of the American tourist as he is to lie
met with in Britain and on the Continent.
The low fares and quick passages,
the sudden fortunes made “out
IV'est,” among many other reasons
have tended to fdter entirely the whole na
ture of titvoeuau nip..; ■ ’ *•;■- similar con
ditions may be said in the Old VV orlil to have
materially modified the character of foreign
travel. It Is no longer possible, therefore,
to pass a hasty generalization on the Ameri
can traveler: for he will be found, by those
to whom he is familiar in his several phuses,
to vary consraerably from the highest ty'pe
of the still existing Southern gentleman,
who, to all but the keenest observation,
would pass unnoticed in a crowd of correct
English people, to the unmistakable '' West
erner” or “down-Easter,” the cut of whose
clothes, hat and boots, not to speak of a
manner thoroughly in accord with his shrill
and monotonously toned accent, betray
themselves instantly. * * * *
It is, indeed, a singular feature of modern
American existence —it might almost l>e
said of modern civilization, the terms, ac
cording to some, being interchangeable—
that there is to be found in America a cer
tain section of the community who openly
express a contempt for everything “Ameri
can.” Probably none are louder in the ex
pression of this feeling than the American
women, who form, perhaps, the largest
number of American residents in Europe.
It is easy to see bow the conditions of exist
ence on “the other side” have led to this
curious state of affairs. In America there
is no “leisure class.” Every member of the
community, as a rule, is actively engaged
in commerce, and commerce in America is
followed with a feverish ardor un
known in our “effete Old World.”
Asa matter of course, the wom
en are entirely outside this interest.
Educated in many respects with greater
care than their sisters in Europe; leading
generally what has not unfitly been termed
a hot house existence; freed in great part
from the many domestic cares which occupy
so largely the tune and attention of women
over here; voracious readers of cosmopoli
tan literature, English, French and German;
looking to Europe for every inspiration of
refinement, from the last new fashion in
dress or home decoration to the latest novel
or the last new opera—it is little wonder
that, amidst the uncongenial atmosphere of
“home,” the American woman who has any
aspirations sighs to reach the land of prom
ise across the ocean. * * * *
Happily the proportion of Americans who
are ashamed of their country and its de
ficiencies is comparatively small, and their
inlluenoe inconsiderable, for they constitute
an anomaly such as will be found in no
other nation. Socially speaking, from our
European point of view, such “conscious"
Americans, ns Mr. James has termed them,
may lie more agreeable than their uncouther
countrymen; yet let it not be forgotten that
itiswiththo raw-boned, broadcloth-rovered,
broad-shouldered, slouch-hatted “Yankees”
who protrude their presence so conspicu
ously, that the future destinies of Ament*
rest.; bv them its wonderful past has been
molded. It is not with the namby-pamby
American —too usually a snobbish worshiper
of the rank and family in which they are
deficient.

Arrow Throwing- A Yorkshire Sport.
From the St, Jamea Gazette.
A ‘ ‘Yorkshi reman” (tends to the Standard
the following description of the game of
arrow throwing, to which we referred on
Monday. The Yorkshire “arrow throwing”
consists in throwing an arrow the greatest
distance, and not in aiming at a mark, the
ground from the standpoint being measured
out into spaces, each 20 yards apart, radiat
ing from the center or standpoint, and
which are generally marked by small
branches or twigs stuck into the ground, and
called “scores;” the one’ throwing the most
“scores” winning the match, say out of
about 30 or 40 throws. The “arrow” is not
a javelin or assegai, but very similar to the
arrow used in modern archery, though
without any feathers at the base or metal
at the point. It is generally made of light
soft wood, varying in length from 2 to 3
feet, according to the fancy of the thrower.
It is rather thicker at the point than the
base, and sometimes is made of two different
kinds of wood, box being used for the point
und willow for the base. The method of
throwing is as follows: The “thrower” takes
a stout piece of whip-cord, about a yard and
a lialf in length, a knot being tied at one
end, so as to form a “button,” round which
the cord is “hitched,” after having been
passed round the base end of the arrow, and
a few inches from that end; the cord is then
brought down to the point, which the
thrower holds in the cord being
perfectly tight and parallel to the arrow to
prevent it slipping from the “button,” or
knot, at the base until it is released in the
act of throwing. The “thrower” then passes
the remainder of the cord round his hand, in
order to insure a better grip, and, taking a
run of several yards, as a bowler does at
cricket, throws the arrow with a jerk, over
hand, as one would throw a ball or stone,
the cord slipping from the arrow and over
the knot as soon as the necessary impetus is
given. A really expert ‘ ‘thrower” will gener
ally throw in a match at least from nine to
eleven “score”—i. e., 180 to 220 yards every
throw, his best efforts reaching as high as
thirteen or fourteen “score.”

Lake City, Fla., June 24, 1888.
C. H. Newman, of Lake City, Fla., says
his wife has suffered for seven years
with a complication of diseases, of
which Asthma was the most prevalent.
She has not laid down in heel for seven
years. He has expended all the money
his business has made him in that time
for medicine, physicians, etc., to obtain
relief for her, but without any success
whatever. He was advised by physi
cians to try P. P. P. He finally did so,
expecting to derive no benefit, nut after
taking less than two bottles eruptions
appeared all over and she immediately
began to improve, and now her skiu is
perfectly clear. She sleeps soundly
every night on an ordinary pillow and
her general health has not been better
in years. Mr. Newman, who is a mer
chant in Lake City, is very enthusiastic
over the cure, and thinks it the grandest
blood purifier and tonic of the age.
P. P. P. is a home remedy; is no secret,
but a regular physician’s prescription, pre
pared in the most careful manner, and from
materials that are always fresh and reliable.
P. P. P. is the greatest Tonic in the market.
For sale by all Medicine Dealers.

Cable Street Cars.
There was a rumor afloat a few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long run, as so
many more trips could be made in a day,
qnd parties having important business to at
tend to at the Onfra! railroad wharf, could
got thore in a very little time. Tvs* the
same at Appel & Schaul’s, the One Price
Clothiers; it takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment, as every arti
cle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same, tints saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those t hat are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money, and
those that are judges are invited to call and
inspect prices to convince themselves. Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection—l 63 Congress

AVe are having weather. This little ad

desires and intention to stand by the buyers
of clothing are as unchangeable and fixed
as the public building site or the price of
gas. We have no time, however, to ser
monize. We must move our stock —not a
hard task, though, for it moves itself. It
can’t stay with us. Its superiority, its ele
gance and attractiveness, backed by the
right prices, pushes it right out. Old cus
tomers and new faces enliven the season.
Cause apparent: Treat a man or boy right,
and he relief) on you. We ransacked the
markets lor the latest materials in vogue,
and had our suits and garments made up by
skilled workmen. Everything thorough and
solid. Overcoats in popular styles and ma
terials for dress and business. Our Gents’
Business and Dress Suits will bear out our
every encomium. The boys are not over
looked. Parents can send their boys to us
and rely on getting the attention and prices
that pei’sonal visits would secure. Cold
weather is at hand, and early comers get
first selection, though we aim to keep our
stock up at all seasons. Full assortment of
