■The mayoralty will also be one of the issues
‘which the club will undertake to handle.
THE MAYORALTY.
“We have pledged ourselves to no candi
pdate,” said one of the organizers of the club.
“We want a man for mayor who is able to
C'evote his time and attention to the office,
n l who is the right man f >r the place."
“Will the club support May SchwartT
“No, sir; but we are tied to no oandi-
Wate."
"How about Air. Hamiltonf'
“I think that he would have a good fol
sowing.”
“Will it support Alderman Thomas."
“I cannot ay. We t-ave not settled upon
airy candidate. The club is most interested
pn securing representation in the council
from the district.”
The club will meet every Mondav night,
jit is organized independent of all other
Irluba, a .and one of the qualifications lor
os embers ip is that the applicant shall not

THE FIRST DISTRICT OROAKIZIIfG.
The citizens of the First militia district
sure thoroughly stirred up over the munici
pal electi u, t at is, as far a- the election of
teouncilme i i.-. concerned. They will hold a
meeting at the office of Justice Endres
Thursday night to organise a First district
democratic club, and they invite all wr.o
twish to j in them to be present, whether
they live in the First district or not
One of the movers in the organization
ftaid yesterday that the club will start out
with a membership of fifty, and that within
*1 couple of weeks all the voters of the First
district will belong to it. The movement
Ss to elect two aldermen from the First dis
trict. The members claim that the district
3s entitled to three members of the council,
Sbeing the second largest district in the city.
jtFor the past eight years they claim that
ithe district has bad no representation, not
“withstanding the rapid increase of popula
tion and the city’s improvement from Mont-
Jgoinery street west to Musgrove creek, and
.from the river south to the southern limits
fc>f the city.
want to be represented.
It is claimed that since the Yarnacraw
Ere of 1883, no part of Savannah has built
p more rapidly, and yet that por
tion has been without any represen
tation in council. One of those
in the organization Thursday
might said that E. A. Smith, of Smith &
□Celly, and ex-Alderman Byck, who was the
Bast alderman the First district had, will
*ie the probable candidates. Others aro
tapoken of, but the two first mentioned will
[probably be the strongest. “We want a
anan whose interests are here, one who is
{identified here, and one who will look after
ithe interest of the district which he repre
sents. We want a man who will see that
property holders will be compelled to re
-s>sir sidewalks and luy down crossings in
•the western portion of the city. We shall
elso expect, him to look alter the paving of
jpome of the streets, West Broad especially.
There is not a street in the city that re
quires to be paved worse than West Broad
etreet.” There is no expression as to the
Bnayoralty, but the movers of the organi
sation are pronounoed on the aldoruiauic
tissue.
CUT HIS THROAT WITH A RAZOR.
George E. Matthews Suicides at Utica,
N. Y.—Hi* History.
A telegram to the Morning News from
T T tica, N. Y., states that George E. Mat
thews, while temporarily insane, committed
suicide there yesterday by cutting his throat
Vnth a razor.
There is a history connected with the
ttiTair. Matthews came hero from Phila
delphia, and being a horseman and trainer,
Ibiok charge of M. J. Doyle’s horses. After-
Nvard he bought out an interest in a livery
fctable at Randolph and South Broad
iireets from Mr. Terrell. Last spring
lie left Savannah with Jennie
Yloldizer, a woman who then lived at No. 35
isoutb Broad street, under the followiog
■Circumstances:
Matthews was arrested upon the com
plaint of his wife for illicit relations with
She Goldizer woman, and Henry Mueller, a
Lack man, became his bondsman. Before
the case came up for trial Matthews
skipped, leaving bis wife and two children
tieliiiid, and taking tho Goldizer woman
with him. He was said to have had about
<t>tX) in the bank, which he drew out, and
the Goldizer woman had nearly as much.
{From here the nair went to New Orleans,
from which point all trace of them was lost.
Sirs. Matthews, when she became satisfied
that her husband had deserted her. returned
to her home in Philadelphia,
Matthews was a veterinary suhgeon, and
vas doing well hare, but his inti
macy with the Goldizer woman
became so public tbit it was no
surprise when he left the city in her com
pany. When arrested upon the complaint
of his wife, friends of Moeller, bis bonds
man, warned him that Matthews would
skip, but Moeller would not listen to the
warning, and as a result he had to pay the
bond.
AN OLD LANDMARK GOING.
A Place Where Convivial Spirit*
Gathered Being Removed.
The old store known as “Lavin’s,” at the
corner of York street lane and East Broad
Btre<M, is being demolished to make room for
anew brick store and residence. Under the
late Mr. Luvin it was for years a favorite
resort for thoso who were fond of something
extra good in the way of wines and liquors,
and within its walls there had beeu many of
those convivial occasions which aro knows
as “good times.” A favorite drinking song
at suppers, alter the punch had fiowed
fieely, was a purody on “Billy
Havens, O,” wherein “ Michael
Irvins,” O,’’ always “brought down
the house.” The old store was a quaint
little place, one of those old fashioned
groceries, where one could get almost any
thing, and at the same time get the best.
The Tate proprietor’s son, J. P. La via, has
succeeded to the business, and when the
new store is finished, which will bo some
time in January, will open a now “Lavins”
which will doubtless maintain the reputa
tion that it has inherited.
The building will be 20 feet on East
Broad street, and 40 feet on York street
lane. Mr. John R. Eason, who built the
Guckenheitner building, has the contract
for the Lavin building, which is to be com
pleted and ready for occupancy by Jan 1.
James P. Laviu, executor of the estate of
his father, will t.ush tUe work, and it will
be under nis supervision.

is backward, as it is this year, the fruit on
the trees comes to maturity.
When Liberty, Broughton and Bull streets
are asphalted, which, it is hoped, will be
before the winter is over, the street and
lane committee should put curbing along
the grass plats on South Broad street, even
if the street can’t bo paved. It would boa
great convenience, however, if the stone
pavement on the south side of that street
could be oxteuded to Host Broad street.
DR. DEV AN TO LEAVE HERE.
Dr. S. D. Brooks of Wilmington, N. 0.,
His Successor at Savannah.
Dr. Spencer C. Devan, marine hospital
surgeon, will leave for Washington Dec. 1,
having been relieved here by Dr. 8. D.
Brooks of Wilmington, N. C. Dr. Devan
has made many friends in Savannah since
he has been located here, and his removal,
while it will carry with it promotion to a
more responsible post, will be received with
unfeigned regret.
Dr. Devan has been tho supply agent of
the infected districts of Florida during the
prevalence of the yellow fever there, and
his conduct of the office bas been marked by
a zeal and fidelity which has reflected credit
upon himself nnd honor to the profession.
Very shortly after his assignment to
this post, tho yellow fever became epidemic
in Florida, aud Surgeon-General Hamilton,
reposing thejutmost confidence in Dr. Devon,
assigned to him the delicate task of filling
the requirements for the infected districts.
This he did faithfully, and when the epi
demic was at its hight, the demands upon
him were so great that it his serv
ices day and night, which were un
grudgingly given.
Dr. Devan has seen a wide and varied ex
perience. Ho was surgeon of the relief ex
pedition that made the polar researches
loading to tho rescue of the ill-fated mem
bers of the Jeannette expedition in Arctic
seas. He was assigned to Savannah last
spring and has since made many friends,
who, parting with him reluctantly, solaoe
themselves with tho hope that in his trans
fer a worthy promotion follows him in his
removal from Savannah.

the Cadets went up to Columbus last night
to be present at the drill there this week.
He said that the Cadets had not been offi
cially notified of tho award of tho Schwei
gert medal at Augusta. If it bus boon

the boys will highly appreciate it. Lieut
Brooks said that tho ranks of tho Cadets
are now full, but he looks for an increase
of members since tho trip to Augusta.

TO PROTECT THE GAME.
The Old Law to Be Enforced Till a New
One is Made.
The Georgia Game Protective Association
met last night at No. 118 Bryan street, and
tho game law was thoroughly discussed.
The association is endea*voring to draft a
law in which the killing or catching of
game or shad fish in any portion of the
state and shipping it out of the stato will
be prohibited. The bill will probably bo
drawn up within the coming week, and
after being submitted to the association
will bo published for thirty days, after
which an effort will be made to
put it through the present legistrature.
For fear, how ever, that there may possibly
be a delay iu getting it before the House, so
that it will not become a law this year, the
association will make an effort to have the
present law enforced.
The law. as it now exists, provides that
the shootiug or trapping or killing of deer,
partridge, wild turkey, wild duck, or anv
insectiverous bird, between April 1 and
Oct. 1, shall be determine! misdemeanor
and shell be punishable by fine not exceed
ing SSOO or imprisonment in the county
jail not exceeding six months. It was also
enacted that should any person be found in
possession of any game and exposing the
same for sale, it shall bo prlrna facie
proof of the unlawful shooting or
trapping by the person having possession
of tho game. The law went into effect in
187-4, but it has afforded little protection to
game, the members of the association say,
from the fact that there has been a very lax
enforcement of it The association, in view
of that fact, passed the following resolution,
and each member pledged his support in
carrying it out:
Itrmhvd, That the officers and directors of
the association be empowered to appoint a de
tective for the purpose of informing upon and
bringing to punishment any one offending
against the present game laws of Chatham
county, and remuneration of such officer be
le t to the discretion of the committee, and that
this association binds itself to use every effort to
have said laws enforced.
TYBES’B NEW HOTEL.
Plan* Examined, but None of Them
Decided Upon.
The directors of the new Tvbee hotel
company held a meeting yesterday and ex
amiued, but did not pass upon the plans
submitted for examination, nor was any
final decision had as to the site upon which
to build. A special committee, consisting
of Alderman H. Myers, president, Charles
F. Prendergast, I. G. Haas, Andrew Hanley,
and J. P. Williams, was appointed to solicit
additional subscriptions, so that the capacity
of the hotel could be increased.
It was shown that by tho addition of
from SIO,OOO to $15,000 tho capacity of the
hotel can be increased to contain 165 rooms,
and that they can be added much more
economically than after the hotel is built
upon a 120-room plan. The committee
above mentioned was divided into sub-com
mittees to raise the additional amount.
It was decided to visit Tybeo island on
Thanksgiving day to select a site for the
dew hotel.
IT WAS A QUICK TRIP.
Jules Verne’s “Around the World in
80 Days’’ in Two Hours and a Half.
“Around the World in 80 Days” had,
beyond question, the biggest house of the
season last night. The galleries were packed,
and parquet aud dress circlo were crowded
from the stage to the wall. It is not often
that such an audience is Been on such a
night as last night was. The greater part of
the audience took to the show and laughed
and applauded by turns. The play is not
one that requires a great deal of dramatic
ability, and not a great deal was displayed.
Its principal features are spectacular. The
scenery is bright, fresh and at
tractive. The ballet corps is one
ot the features of the performance. W. J.
Fleming as “Phineas Fogg,” Alfred Wol
fred as “Passe Partout,” his servant, and
Jonas P. Fleming as “John Archibald,” the
American; were the principal characters
and were well acted. The spectacular feat
ures were well arranged and the performance
moved very smoothly. All in all, “Around
the World in Eighty Days” was a success.
It will be repeated to-night.

were stowed in the forward compartment,

The board of survey will determine whether
tho cotton in the after hold is t > be unloaded

TRAVEL TO THE SOUTH.
RAILROAD PEOPLE GETTING IN
BETTER HUMOR
Florida Travel Picking up and Freights
Increasing Every Day The New
Road into Middle Florida and What
It Is Doing—The Savannah, Florida
and Western Depot to be Opened
Jan. I—The Vestibule Trains to be
Put on Jan. 7.
General Manager Haines of the Plant sys
tem was caught on the wing by a Morning
Nrws reportor yesterday, and could not
well avoid talking back. Mr. Haines was
with General Manager Lane of the Georgia
Southern and Florida road, making a tour
of inspection through tho new depot of the
Savannah, Florida and Western and
Charleston and Savannah railways, now
nearly completed. Mr. Haines said that the
new depot will be open by Jan. 1.
It is. said Mr. Haines, the intention to
build temporary waiting rooms, dining
room and baggage rooms for the new
passenger shel, so that there will be little
delay in getting the new depot iu a condi
tion to accommodate the traveling public,
but this will only be temporary, as the
plans are being perfected for a permanent
building of brick, in which will be located
the general offices of the company. Work
on the brick building at tho corner of East
Broad and Liberty streets will be prosecuted
this winter.
TRAVEL TO FLORIDA.
Mr. Haines was asked when the travel
southward would begin, and he replied that
it has already begun. The people, he said,
are already going to Florida. By that, he
explained, that he meant those persons who
reside in Florida, who, after summering in
the north, have turned southward, one
train last week carrying 200 Floridians,
homeward bound.
While Mr. Haines was talking, he was
handed a dispatch stating that there has
not been a case of sickness at Live Oak for the
past eighteen days, and that United States
Surgeon Hutton declares that Live Oak is
healthy and that there is not a case of sick
ness of any kind iu the place.
Mr. Haines says that the people are going
rapidly into Florida, and that the vestibule
trains, making tri weekly trips, will be put
on Jan. 7. \\ hilo the passenger travel, for
obvious reasons, has not been quite as good
as desired, it is improving, and the cotton
receipts to date are better than for the
same period last year. In fact, one has
only to glance over the railroad yards,
densely packed as thov are with cotton,
to see that the receipts are large, and as a
great deal of cotton goes direct to the
wharves, the yards, full of cotton as they
are, and as they have been for the past ten
days, does not givo an adequate idea of tho
encouraging receipts. Mr. Haines reports
other freights satisfactory, and constantly
improving.
THE NEW LINE TO FLORIDA.
The completion of the railroad from
Tbomasville to Monticello, Mr. Haines says,
has opened up closer communication with
Middle Florida, aud as that section is one of
the finest cotton sections of the state, it will
make the territory a very rich tributary to
this point. It opens up a most desirable
route for the tourist travel to Florida, and
1 1 enables the traveling public to leave
Savannah in the morning aud reach Monti
cello by the middle of the afternoon of the
same day, when heretofore it could only be
reached by a long drive ovorland from
Thomasville or by a roundabout way to
Jacksonville and westward by the Florida
Central and Western.
The people of Monticello are very much
elated over their new road, which enables
them to communicate with the outside
world several hours earlier than before, and
situated as they are, in a rich agricultural
section, the growth and progress of the
prosperous little city is assured.
NEW ROADS TO FLORIDA.
Progress of Work on the Georgia
Southern and Florida. ,
General Manager Lane of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad was in the
city yesterday. Work on the road, he said,
is being rapidly pushed toward Valdosta,
which will be reached about Dec. 1. At
present trains are running from Macon no
further south than Tifton, a point on the
Brunswick and Western railroad at which
the Georgia Southern and Florida crosses.
IlMr. Lauo (said that he is running two
passenger and two freight trains daily to
Tifton, and by Dec. 15 the trains will be
running to Valdosta, a distance of 152
milles. When Valdosta is reached the road
will be the shortest line by 75 miles from
Macon to that section of the state. The
work of extending the line south to Palatka
via Jasper and Lake City will be vigorously
pusbad, and Mr. Lane said that within
two months he thought the lino will be com
plete from Macon to Palatka, a distance of
of 285 miles. The line will be almost direct
from Macon to Florida, and will be at least
fifty miles shorter than any line leading
into Florida. Mr. Lane said that the road
is being built principally by Macon capital
ists. and that their whole time and energy
is directed toward its progress And com
pletion. It will open up anew country in
which the timber has never been touched.
“Already along the line not less than twenty
saw mills have been put up,” Mr. Lane said,
“and before next season there will be a saw
mill on every five miles of the road. Those
that are completed are running on full time
aud are doing an enormous business. They
are great feeders to the road, and we are
taxis! just at present to transport their
lumber as rapidly as they want it handled.
There are between twelve and fifteen tur
pentine stills along the road that are doing
a large business, and we exoect an increase
in stills as the road is completed, in propor
tion to the increase of sawmills.”
Mr. Lane said that Cordelo is the busiest
place in that part of the state. A $25,1X10
brick block is going up there. Soon a bank,
with a capital of $50,000, will be opened. In
addition to this, other and greater improve
ments are going ou, and they are giving an
impetus to that section '.hat is almost phe
nomenal.
“Our road has the credit of carrying more
people into Macon during the fair,” said
Mr. Ijine, “than any other road running
into Macon.” Mr. Lane oxplained that the
people along the line of tho Georgia South
ern and Florida who had never seen a rail
road train before, availed themselves of the
low rates ami went to the fair. Mr. Lone
is jubilant over the success which tho lino
lias met with so far, and he says that the
people of Macon ore thoroughly in earnest
in tboir efforts to make tho road one of tho
best iu tho south.

New Zealand at last accounts had 1,751
miles of railways ou her two islands, with
more under c nstruction.
W. J. Ciaig, acting general passenger
agent of the Port Royal and Augusta rail
rot:d, was in the city yesterday.
Gen. E. P. Alexander and his private
secretary K-lmoml Workman left in the
president’s private car last night for
Augusta.
The afternoon train from Atlanta was
delayed an hour vostordav between Macon
and Savannah. The delay was due to a hot
box on the engine.
Edward Mclntyre, comptroller, and John
G. Robertson, auditor of receipts of the
Central railroad, leave for Montgomery,
Ala., to-night on business.
The Orlando (Fla.) Record says that on

and Atlantic railroad was merged with that
of general manager, Mr. T. M. T. McKen
nati assuming tho duties of both offices un
der the title of goneral manager, with Mr.
G. H. Hepburn as assistant general freight
aud passenger agent.
China’s only railway company has issued
its first annual report. The line, which is
about twenty-seven miles long and was
built principally for carrying coal from the
Kaiping mines in the province of Chili, in
northern China, earned about $05,000, of
which $24,500 were net profits, indicating
that the operating expenses were about 63
per cent. A dividend of 6 per cent, has been
declared on the paid up capital, which
amounts to about $312,000.
The Louisville and Nashville proposes to
beat the record of the world-farnod British
train—the flying NorVester. which doe,
the run from London to Edinburgh (400
miles) in 7 hours nnd 10 minutes. The
Flying Razor Back, of the Louisville aud
Nashville, is tho fast Gulf and Atlantic ex
press, and will run from Pensacola to Chip
ley, the West Florida highlands (110 miles)
in two hours, including one stop, making
the actual running time 60 miles an hour.
Mr. M. H. Conally has received the ap
pointment of Florida freight agent of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and Bt. Louis rail
way, and will leave here the latter part of
the week for Florida. Mr. Conallv was
formerly private ' secretary to Super
intendent Fleming, of the Savan
nah, Florida and Western railway, and
was afterward private secretary to Gen.
Alexander of the Central railroad. He is
an euergetic and experienced railroad man,
aud the officials of the lines which he will
represent have in him a capable and effi
cient representative. Mr. Conally will
have charge of all freight matter* iu
Florida in which tho two roads are inter
ested. Ho will ultimately make Jackson
ville his headquarters, but he says that
Savannah is his home.
On some of the English roads passengers
are not only required to procure tickets,
but if they happen to get ou the train with
outdoing so. are not allowed to pay their
fare. An English exchange reports the
case of a gentleman who entered a carriage
in haste just as the train was moving off,
not having time to purchase his ticket.
When the collector finally came around to
take the tickets the traveler tenderd the
legal fare two or three times, but it was
refused, the official, however, taking his
name aud address, with a view doubtless
to a future collection of the amount by the
company or to the punishment of the pas
senger for being on the train without a
tickot. The fact that ticket collectors are
not allowed even under such circumstances
to receive a fare is rather a serious reflec
tion on their honesty.
Judge Marshall !J. Clark has appointed
Ex-Gov. H. D. McDaniel of Walton county
as receiver of tho Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama railroad. The appoint
ment of Gov. McDaniel, the Griffin News
says, gives dignity and prominence to the
case as well as secures a fair, equitab e
and honest administration of the road.
Gov. McDaniel will run the road to the
best advantage and will give satisfaction to
all parties at interest. Judge Clark has
taken a proper conception of the ca-e of
the minority stockholders from its very in
cipioncy, and in sustaining their cause and
giving the road such a receiver as Gov.
McDaniel, he puts the case iu such a posi
tion as to obtain for it the respect of all
law loving and law abiding Georgians, who
oppose the injustice and oppression of mo
nopolies. Long live the Savannah, Griffin
and North Alabama, and the loyal minor
ity,” the News adds.
Some excitement has arisen in railroad
circles over the bill now drawn up and
ready for presentation before the Kansas
state legislature to regulate the operation
and correct abuses of the Pullmau car ser
vices. The bill regulates the price of berths
at $2 per night and $3 per twenty-four
hours. The upper berths, when vacant,
must be closed to aid ventilation, and the
maximum wages of the porter is fixed at
$2 50 per day instead of sl2 per week, the
former rate, while it makes it a misde
meanor for the porter to accept any “tips”
or remuneration for services rendered from
the passengers. The measure also deals
with the through and local tariffs of the
service, and wherever any discrepancies
have appeared a remedy has been proposed.
Heretofore it was possible for a passenger
traveling any distance to beat tho through
rate by several dollars by taking the local
rates for the same accommodations. On
hiring the porters the company has consid
ered the “tips” received from passengers as
an item in the salary paid, and as a conse
quence has forced many impositions upon
the traveling public.
