PUSHING THEIR CLAIMS.
MAJ. WEST’S CONSTRUCTION COM
PANY IN A BAD WAY.
Officers Gather in More of Its Property
—A Lively Fight Over the Contract
ors’ Camps .in Bryan and Bulloch
Counties The Contest to End In the
Courts.
The Savannah, Dublin and Western, and
Birmingham and Atlantic Air-Line, and
United States Construction and Improve
ment Companies’ affairs are in something of
a muddle and are likely to lie for some time.
The Construction Company and its credi
tors seem to be the worist off.
Justice Molina started Officer Endres out
late yesterday afternoon with another at
tachment tor *350, to get possession of
some of the company’s property on the road
west of the city.
Messrs. Charlton & Mackail, who repre
sent Carpenter, Grant, Mundy & Co.’s in
terest, were busy yesterday getting things
in shape to interpose their claims and secure
possession of the property held under at
tachment and foreclosure by the Sheriffs of
Bryan and Bulloch counties.
THE CREDITORS’ INTERESTS.
Thomas H. Potter, Esq. ,of Bulloch county,
who is interested in the case, was in the
city in the evening in conference with Wil
liam Clifton, Esq., who is looking after the
interests of a number of the contractors’
creditors along the line of the road. Messrs.
Carpenter, Grant and Mundy, have spent
a good deal of money m building
the road for the construction company, and
they have got nothing for their work.
Their country creditors and the sub
contractors along the road began to get
uneasy, and proceedings were instituted
some days ago against the Contractors to
secure payment of their claims. Some of
the contractors’ property was mortgaged to
their creditors. Before all of it was fas
tened Messrs. Charlton and Mackall, repre
senting the contractors’ interests, started
out a Deputy Marshal to seize the Ann’s
property in Bryan and Bulloch counties.
The object of fhis move was to get the case
into the United States Courts.
SEIZING THE CAMPS.
Whatever property there was at the
Bryan counfcv tamp was already seized
under an attachment in the interest of the
firm’s creditors, and an officer was sent on
to the Bulloch county camp and took pos
session of the property there. On his return
to the Bryan camp lie found that Deputy
Marshal Corbett had been there and had
attached the property and had left an officer
in charge. The Constable claimed the
property, however, under a former levy
and took possession of it.
Mr. Lee, of Philadelphia, through whom
Carpenter, Grant & Mundy brought the
property South, will interpose his claim and
endeavor to secure possession of the property
in the Bryan camp. The claims held by
Messrs. Clifton & Potter amounts to about
$8,500. •
||ln the meanwhile the engineer are seeing
that the construction company’s property is
locked up as fast as they can find out where
it is and can get at it.
HE “BURGLED” A BARN,
And Went to Jail to Await the Grand
Jury’s Pleasure.
Daniel Brown, a colored laborer on the
Schley place just west of the city on the
Augusta road, was committed to jail by
Justice Naughtin yesterday for burglary.
Brown has been in Mr. Schley’s employ for
several years. His employer has susp eted
for some time that Brown was helping him
self to whatever he wanted without asking
for it. Several tilings had been missed, ana
suspicion pointed so strongly to Brown that
Mr. Schley determined to "find out if he
was as guilty as circumstances said he was.
A harness was one of the things missing
from the place, and *it was taken from a
barn where Brown frequently went. Sun
day night a trap was set for the thief, who
ever he might be—not a steel trap, but a
man trap. A pile of ban-els was built up
inside the barn door where the thief would
go in, and a watchman stood inside the
barn. About 9 o’clock Brown showed up.
As soon as he got inside the door ho knocked
down the pile of barrels and the watchman
collared him.
Brown said he wasn’t going to steal any
thing, but he failed to make a satisfactory
explanation of his presence there. He was
brought into the city and taken to the liar
racks. A warrant was sworn out before Jus
tice Naughtin, and Constable Basch took
his man to jail, where he will await the ac
tion of the grand jury.
THE NEW JAIL AGAIN.
The County Commissioners Still Con
sidering Its Acceptance.
The County Commissioners met yesterday
to again consider the acceptance of the new
jail. A committee, consisting of Messrs.
Lawton and Estill, was appointed to visit
the building and see if such defects as were
reported when the Commissioners examined
it last week, had been remedied. The com
mittee went to the jail, where the contractor
informed them that he had done nothing fur
ther, except to put up the partitions between
the water closets iu the hospital wards, as
he had received no notice of what was re
quired of him.
Mr. Bo we said, however, that ho is willing
and ready to do all that is required of him.
What is to be done is very trifling, and can
probably be arranged for without further
delaying the acceptance of the work. The
special committee will submit its report to
the regular meeting to-morrow.
THE VALUE OF A HUSBAND.
Mrs. Flanagan Sues the Savannah,
Florida and Western for $lO,OOO. *
The suit of Annie Flanagan vs. the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western Railway Com
pany was taken up in the City Court yester
day. The suit is for $lO,OOO damages for
the loss of the plaintiff’s husband, James
Flanagan, who was killed at the lower
wharves on April 19 last while in the per
formance of his duty as a watchman at the
wharves. The suit occupied the court all
day and will probably not be concluded for
a day or two more, as the plaintiff has not
yet concluded with the witnesses. Denmark
& Adams appeared for the plaintiff, and
Chisholm & Erwin for the defendant.

can, Walker and Tattnall. The Board was
in session two hours, but it transacted very
little business.
Superintendent Baker read his November

THE LATE DR. G. J. ORR.
Savannah Teachera to Take Suitable
Action in Regard to His Death.
The death of State School Commissioner
Orr, announced in yesterday's Morning
News, is deeply felt by the teachers in
Savannah who knew him, and there are
few who did not. During the fifteen years
that he was State Commissioner Dr. Orr be
came personally known to nearly every
teacher in the State, and to many of the
older teachers he was known long before he
became State Commissioner. He was
in every way the teacher’s best
friend. As chairman of a committee raised
in 1809 by the Georgia Teachers’ Associa
tion, he prepared a report in favor of com
mon schools for Georgia, which was unani
mously udopted by that body, published
and widely distributed.
In 1871 he headed a committee and pre
sented a memorial to tho Ilegislature on the
same subject. These papers place him in
the front rank of the advocates of common
schools.
His report of 1869 was made the basis of
the first common school law. At the re
quest of Hon. W. M. Reese, he framed the
school law of Aug. 23, 1872. It. to a large
extent, created a system. The system, as
created, removed education from the arena
of politics, and placed character, intelli
gence and experience in control. It pro
vided machinery which combined great
working power with unusual simplicity.
The Savannah Normal Class will meet at
4 o’clock Friday afternoon and will pass
suitable resolutions upon the death of Dr.
Orr. There are already a number of can
didates in tho field for the office, and Savan
nah is understood to have a name ou the
list.
A PAPAL NOMINATION.
Rt. Rev. Leo Haid Made Vicar Apos
tolic of North Carolina.
The Rt. Rev. Leo Haid. who is announced
to lecture here on the occasion of the Pope’s
Jubilee Concert on Dec. 28, has been nomi
nated Vicar Apostolic proper of North
Carolina.
When Bishop Northrop was consecrated
Bishop of Charleston, North Carolina was
left without a Vicar Apostolic. Bishop
Northrop then acted as administrator to
North Carolina until a Vicar Apostolic
should be nominated. The nomination has
been made by the Pope, whose choice, as
has been mentioned, fell upon the Rt. Rev.
Leo Haid. He was consecrated Abliot of St.
Mary’s College, iu North Carolina, on
Thanksgiving Day at the Cathedral chapel
in Cnarlestou by Bishop Northrop in 1887.
Abbot Leo Haid, previous to his
coming South, was chaplain of St.
Vincent’s College,, in Pennsylvania, the
largest institution under the direction of
the Benedictine Fathers. Here, also, he
taught tho higher branches of tno English
language. His merits, piety and indomita
ble energy in administering the duties of
liis position won for him the high esteem of
the members of his order, and it was lie
cause the Benedictines wished to make St,
Mary’s College in North Carolina one of the
first of the excellent institutions under the
supervision of their order that they selected
Abbot Haid.
On the day of his arrival at St. Mary's
College a complete change began. The
number of applicants was so large that a
new and more capacious building had to be
constructei. This was soon done, and while
a year ago tho number of students did not
exceed forty, now it exceeds a hundred. All
this was owing to the zeal and energy of
the Rev. Abbot. His ability in directing,
and liis prudence in acting, has recommend
ed him to the Pope, and tho position of
Vicar Apostolic of North Carolina could
not be filled by a more worthy person to
succeed tho admirable administmtor, the
Rt. Rev. Northrop.
Rev. Father Haul, as he has been known
here, is very popular with the Savannah
Catholics, 'it may be that his recent ap
pointment will prevent his coming on Dei*.
28, but his friends hope that it will not.
Before the Ordinary To-Morrow.

GEORGE E. WARING, JR., AND HIS
FIGURES.
A Point to Which hie Attention Is Es
pecially Called.
Editor Morning News: I must confess
myself a little gratified at the improved
s vie of the communication signed “George
E. Waring, Jr.,” in Saturday’s Morning
News; over that of his article of
Dec. 1, in which he charged me with de
veloping my plans from “inner conscious
ness.” As those plans were the result of
very careful investigation not only by my
self, but by a number of gentlemen includ
ing practical engineers, practical pluinliers,
lawyers, large property owners, and others,
in order to prepare the bill which the
Legislature of Georgia subsequently
passed for our benefit. Mr. Waring’s as
sertion about its development out of my
inner consciousness was a gratuitous as
sumption on his own part, without the
slightest founda ion in fact.
Now there is much good in Mr. George
E. Waring’s work in Memphis, and I fully
agree with him that it is as important to
flush laterals as mains—even house draius,
with the heaviest grades of all, absolutely
requiring flushing; and those drains
Lest maintaining a cleanly condition, which
have a flush most nearly approaching a . con
stant flow. I think that if the people of
Memphis abandon Mr. Waring’s idea of
flushing all laterals, they will make a mis
take.
2. I am perfectly aware that in some
places along Bay lane the lane sewers will
be deep, but as that will give the owners of
the property good drainage for
their cellars, the difference in
depth is compensated for by the extra use
fulness of tbe drain. My information was
that the East Broad street sewer near
Broughton street was fifteen feet below tho
surface. Now Ido not understand that it
is desirable to use the East Broad street
sewer as a part of the house-drainage sys
tem beyond a temporary expediency; so
that its grade is not involved in any per
manent plau of house-drainage. As to Mr.
Waring’s figures, let us analyze the facts:
West Broad surface grade * 40.3
East Broad surf an 42.1
Depth of sewer at W es; Broad 3.
Fall of we wen 2 in. to 100 ft.) to East Broad. 7.
Lent h.of sewer at East Broad 12.
Now this condition only applies as far as
South Broad street lane, all south of that
point having a better natural surface fall,
and the depth along Bay lane is not ob
jectionuble because of the convenience for
cellar drainage totbe business section of the
city, where cellars are especially valuable.
3. It is perfectly well known at the Sur
veyor’s office in this city that a special pipe
and modified system of laterals will be
needed for tho section west of Tattnall
street, and south of Li erty, Including
Alice street to Jefferson (Gaston), to which
Mr. Waring refers. The city engineers are
not all fools, and are quite competent to the
task of arranging this part of the plan. Mr.
Geo. E. Waring continues to avoid the
main question presented by me, which is
that “mains canbeextended down the fanes
from West Broad to East Broad street, and
flushed from end to end by a flush obtained
from the Franklin square standpipe, thus
doing away with any necessity for Mr.
Waring’s flush tanks, with their expense
and royalties, and get a better flush cur-

RESIDENTS BARRED OUT.
The Guards Club Repeals the Rule Ad
mitting Resident Visitors.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards held a
meeting last night and abolished the rule
permitting residents of the city to visit the
club rooms three times. This rule has been
in operation ever since the club was estab
lished, and was adopted in order to permit
the people of the city to see the armory,
but that purpose having been accomplished,
the rule has been repealed, and in the fu
ture only members and non-residents will
be permitted in the club rooms.
A movement was inaugarated which will,
if carried out, prove of inestimable benefit
to the military organizations of the coun
try. In his last annual report the Adjutant
General of the United .States Army sug
gested the advisability of apvxiinting army
officers to bo located in the various sections
of the country to instruct the volunteer
forces in military science. The Guards
adopted a resolution approving the sugges
tion and urging that the military organiza
tions of Georgia unite with them in re
questing tlie Senators and Representatives
from this State to favor such legislation as
may be necessary to carry the suggestion
into effect.
It is thought that if officers from the
regular army would begin instructing the
volunteer corps it would arouse a
higher degree of enthusiasm than can be
excited by any other means, and the result
will he not only that the various military
bodies will become more efficient than they
have been but that they will become much
stronger.
For Baldheaaed Men.
Baldheaded men will have an opportunity
to-night to find our, at Odd Fellows Hall all
about the growth of the bald spot from its
first appearance to the big shiny surface
that glitters under the gaslight, and is tho
long-billed mosquito’s favorite field of
operations. Mr. Henry Firth Wood, who
has had a good deal of experience
with baldheads, and knows about as
much about them as anybody will tell what
lie knows to-night. Mr. Wood is a humor
ist, and his lecture, which is given under
the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian
Association, is said to lie one of tho funni
est of funny lectures. The lecture will be
gin at 8 o'clock, and reserved seats are now
on sale at Davis Bros.’

rent." That is the question for him to op
pose. The mere fact that the surface grade
varies at different points is altogether of
minor importance. *
4. I have never at any time said that 1
proposed to give these lane sewers a fall of
15 feet from West Broad to East Broad street.
It is probable that with such a flush as we
can provide from our standpipe a fall of
4 or 5 feet in this distance will be found
amply sufficient. One of the advantages of
my plan is that each lane sewer could be
placed on a grade fall suited to its own in
dividual work, provided the terminal points
at East Broad street bo located on a genera]
grade from Bay to Bolton southward and
from Twelfth to Bolton northward. The
natural surface grade fall from west to east
soutii of Perry to Twelfth street very mate
rially favors this plan.
5. The main problem involved in my plan
is to confine these sewers to the lanes as far
as possible. Whether it shall be found ad
visable to have a single fall from West
Broad to East Broad, with only one neces
sary flush point for the whole line, or
whether in some sections the lane shall be
divided into two or three sectional pipes,
with a flush to each section,
is entirely a matter of detail,
and does not in any material man
ner detract from the value and economy of
confining our scheme to one central pipe in
each lane. That is the real plan, the dis
cussion of which Mr. Waring carefully
avoids.
I append a table showing the surface
grade falls along each propsed line of house
drain pipe, from which it will be readily
seen how excellently the grade fall? of the
surface south of South Broad street lane
accommodate themselves to my plans.
Whilst between Bay and Perry stree s the
eastern termini of the lane sowers may be
placed above the East Broad street sewer
and curve down to it, from Perry lane south
ward there are a number of points at which
the house drain must enter the East Broad
street sewer on its western side in order that
the house drain may be placed sufficiently
beneath the surface.
Again, whilst the grade fall of the drain
pipes in Bay lane, Congress lane, Broughton
lane, York lane, and South Broad street
lane may be confined to 4to 7 feet from
West Broad to East Broad, we find that we
must give the Perry lane pipe a fall of 15
feet. The grade fall of this pipe need not
exceed 3 or 4 feet from West Broad to
Drayton, but east of Drayton we are re
quired by the surface-grade to add 10 to 12
feet fall m the pipe from Drayton to East
Broad. Several other lines present similar
individualities.
The section bounded by West Broad, Tat
nall, Taylor and Gwinnett, also
by Gaston, Whitaker, Tattnall and
Gwinnett, can best be drained by
laterals converging along West Broad,
Montgomery, Jefferson, Tatnall, Barnard
and Howard, to a line about Huntingdon,
running from West Broad to Whitaker,
thence along Whitaker to Gwinnett or Bol
ton lane, and under the park or parade
ground, toward the lower grade falls about
Abercorn and Bolton. This would give the
convergent Huntingdon line a fall of four
or five feet, and tap Mr. Warinq's hobby
hole on Jefferson street fourfe t below the
surface. The section east of the park and
parade ground is easily enough drained, as
will be seen by studying the table.

We Cut From the Start-
Many merchants get all they can for their
goods during the height of the season and
rely on alleged low prices to work off the
surplus stock on the ove of anew season.
We think differently. We make it a rule
to try and sell our goods with the season,
being satisfied with a continual small profit
in preference to a high-priced “spurt” and
then a big stock to carry over at the end of
the season. In other words, we put the
lowest living prices on our stock from the
start , and do not trust to luck or “below
cost” sale—that hoary-headed old chestnut —
to work off what is left. So much for tho
wedge. Now for the maul to drive 6ur
arguments in.
Our stock has been augmented by our
holiday selections, comprising special gar
ments, Suits, Overcoats, Neckwear, Silk
Handkerchiefs and Furnishings for tho gala
season; many novelties, all gems of the
manufacturer’s good taste. We have a
pretty line of Prince Albert Suits, not only
the well-known blacks and blues, but in
mixed goods. Also a dashing line of four
button Cutaway Suits. In short, our entire
stock indicates the merchant tailor rather
than the ready-made dealer, without the
merchant tailor price. The Big Golden
