THE STREET RAILROAD DEAL.
Savannah's Prospects for Another
Seaside Resort.
The announcement in the MORNIKQ NkwS
ytriardav of the consolidation of tbes-foo#
gauge street railroads under one manage
blent was received with general satisfaction
by the public, as there is seen in it mi im
proved street tar and suburban railroad
ITsteui. Those who are a.quaiuted with
tL, business of the street car systems see in
It a large reduction in operating expenses,
especially in the suburban lines, which,
with a slight change in the tracks, can be
run so as to give more accommodation to
those who patronize them at a less cost to
the con i .cations.
Tbe change will doubtless give Savannah
mother seaside resort, which, with proper
efforts, can he made to rival the wintering
I lac, < in Florida, as the climate of Warsaw
island is mild and pleasant at this season.
It IS understood that Mr. Parsons, who is a
gentleman of large meant himself, has asso

look forward with pi asure to this latest

MAJ. RYALS’ SANTA CLAUS.

Those who know Maj. G. M. Reals will
apprccials his self introduction at the ro
om t Christmas festival at the Christian
church. The major tips the scale some
where in the neighb rhood of 400 pounds,
and his weight represents as many good
qualities; he was a brave soldier; he is con
siueraole of a politician when he takes a
hand in an elution; he is a successful
farm r, can tell an excellent story, but his
latest development was as a colossal "San.a

On that occasion when the folding door*

open, the hay.py gentleman walked in

MUST CALL IN THEIR CHAINS.
Tbe Police Kick Against Chief Green’s
Recent Order.
The police are put out on account of
Chief Green’s order prohibiting the wear
ing of watch chains on the outside of their
coats. Two patrolmen were sent to tho
guard hou o last week for a violation of (lie
order,and the chief’s conduct on (he occa
sion may lead to nn investigation by the
police committee of council and possibly
by tho council itself.
The polic e did not take kindly to tho or
der when it was issued. There was a good
deal of murmuring against it, and uu open
revolt was hinted at. That they should be
deprived of the privilege of weaiug so
harmless and useful an ornament the men
considered an unnecessary hardship. No
such order had ever been heard of Before.
It grew out of a request by some of tha
ruen for tbo city to reiruburte thdn tor
damages sustained by their watches at tin
hands of ugly prisoners. Iu one or two
cases the city sto >d the low. In order tod >
away with any furtaer liability,Chief Green
issue i his ukase that, the men must wear
their watch chains buttoned inside of their
Coats, where they would be safe from
hostile bauds.
At roll-call a night or two ago Officers
Smith, H. M. Morgan and Trout Dunham
appealed with their chains dangling from
their button-holes. Sergt Lee read the
chief’s order again and requested the men
to put in r.iieir chains. Officer Morgan did
so. Just then the chief walked down the
line, and stopping in front of the other two
officers ordered hern to “put in their
chains.” Officer Smith started to do so, in
the meantime protesting, with Officer Dun
ham, against the unreasonableness of the
order. The chief refused to hear them ad
threatened to lock them up.
“Lock mo up, then,” replied Officer
Smith, and the chief ordered the two men
to tho guard house. The next morning they
were given a hearing before the mayor.
Tho hearing was private, and no dtesion
has yet been given. It is u derstood that
the officers charged the chief with unbecom
ing conduct, and that the matter is likelv
t tie brought before the council. Similar
barges have been hinted at for some time,
but tue fac‘ j have neve:* been brought n .t.
While the men do not deuy the chiefs
authority to issue such rders as he may see
lit. they claim that the watch chain order
is an unreasonable one. The real trouble,
however, is the leek of harmony between
the chief end bis men, which tho latter
claim is on account of the chief’s conduct
toward them.

TO VIEW THE PICTURES.
THE FAMOUS “GEFECHT” TO BE
SEEN THIS WaBK.
A Pr vate Viaw of Director Brandt's
Recent Purchases for the Telfair
Gallery to Be Given by the Man
agers of the Academy of Arts and
Sciences on Thursday—Rearranging
the Gallery for the New Pictures—
Savannah's Home of Art.
Invitations have been issued to a private
view of the picture “Gefecht,” recently
purchased at the Munich exposition by
Director Carl L. Brandt, of tho Telfair
Academy of Arts and Sciences, at the
academy, next Thursday. All of the pict
ures which Mr. Brandt purchased in Europe
last fall have arrived, with the exception of
the water color from the Walker gallery in
Liverpool, where he secured the famous
“Relics of the Brave.” This picture is
entitled: “We look before and after, aud
pine for what is not,” and in by Regi
nald Barber, n young English artist. It
represents a female head of life size aud Mr.
Brandt say > that it is a very charming
work. In fact, it is almost the only picture
that he would care to have of those for saie
in the gallery.
REARRANGING THE GALLER7.
The other purchases are all in the Tel
fair gallery, but, have not yot been hung.
The addition of the new pictures has neces
sitated tbe rearrangement of the gallery.
The “Relics of the Brave,” which bus here
tofore occupied a place on the western
wall, facing the entrance, has been
placed upon the north wall opposite
Braeth’s picture of the sheep, and
in its place has been hung the
ii'*w picture which will be seen for the first
time by tho public on Thursday. It is about
12 feet'by 7 feet in the frame, and around
the frame, whlca is a xnas'ive piece of
carved work, weighing over 500 pounds, is
a drapery similar to that around Mr.
Brandt's picture of “Apelles.” The picture
and frame are bo h tightly covered from
view, and the covering will not be re
moved until the managers’ “view” on
Wednesday.
Mi*. Brandt is highly pleased with the
picture, which, he siys, ranked with the
very best at r he Munich exposition.
THE FAMOUS “GEFECHT.’*
Tho subject is a cavalry charge—the at
tach of a body of mailed lancers on a de
tachment of the allied Swedes and Branden
burgers no r Warsaw, Poland, during
tho Seven Years’ war. The movement
of horse and man is exceptionally flue, tho
coloring is brilliant, and in its character
istics Mr. Braudt says that no work in the
exposition ca ne up io i r . Tue Picture is by
Joseph vpn Brandt, a Pole, well known in
Arne ica and very celebrated iu Munich,
where he received all the medals that c u
be ob f aiued. M st of the public galleries
in Europe possess at least one of his uroduc
tio.is. Tho Prince Regent had lmd one of
his pictures at the exposition. The cata
logue price of the “Gefecht” was 30,000
marks.
THE STUDIES.
The other pictures which Director Braudt
purchased at Munich —tho three studies,
two cows and an ox —by Prof. Fr. Volz, a
very celebr*ted animal painter, are also
c vered and have not yet been hung. Mr.
B andt save that they are gems of art.
Although Prof. Volz hun been critici ed by
some, he will always be remembered an
artist of fine feeling and truthful ohs rva
ti not nature. Whatever may be said of
his pictures, his studios from nature are of
tiie highest merit, and compare favor
ably with the best known, int evoi
excepting Trovon, whose “One Cow” in the
Corcoran gallery at Washington brought
over $4,000, and whosa pi ture of few
cows and two sheep commanded $215,000 in
New York last winter. The studies will
probably ho hung on the west wall by the
side of the big picture, immediately up >n
the right of which is “The Boar at Bay,”
a id upon the left the striking picture wiiic‘l
has excPod so much comment, “The
Farmer’s Protest.”
PREPARING FOR THE “VIEW.”
When the i earnings me nfc of the gallery is
completed and the new pictures are in
place, the gallery will present u greatly im
proved appearance. None of tho new pict
ures will b a seen exco >t by the director
and his assistants, until Wednesday, when
the manager*’ view* will be given mid not
until Thursday by tho public.
In addition to the picture and studi?s,
Mr. Brandt purchased in Berlin and brought
w:t i him for the academy a photograph
from the original of Albert DurerV; famous
work, the “Holzsc <uhe,” for which tho
P. m sian goreramen* offered 250,00) marks,
('he photograph will b exhibited at Thurs
day’s view and Will bo placed in the acade
my’s collection.

THE DRUMMERS’ GALA WEEK.
The Travelers’ Association Arranging
for Its Spring Convention.
Tbe Bavannoh branch of the Southern
Travelers’ Association met last night at the
Guards’ armory. The attendance was the
largest that the association has had at any
of its meetings. Besides nearly all the
rnemliers of the branch a number ot north
ern traveling men wore present, and 11
manifested an interest in the workings of
the assf/ciation.
President Dean Newman presided. •Three
new members were received and enrolled.
They are Charles Mark, J. I. I*. Dsialynski
and C. H. Baker. Tue secretary was in
structed to received $5 deposits from appli
cants for membership until the May con
vention decides what shall be the annual
dues. The committee appointed shortly
after tho death of Thornes La e, who was a
member of the Travelers’ Protective Asso
ciation to raise a fund for Mrs* Lane
reported, and the list were closed. Several
hundred dollars were raised and will be
forwarded to Mrs. Lane at Quitman at an
early date.
The vacancies on the railroad committee
were filled by the appointment of Joseph
J.oven*.tefn and M. L. Lilienthal. They are
both active workers, and os the committee
to which they have boon appointed is a
very important one, imf orta it results are
expected to follow their appointment. The
secretary read the letter to the railroads
wuich he prepared during the week, and it
was ratified and o dered sent cut to the
railroads. The letter states briefly tie ob
ject of the withdrawal of the southern
posts from the National Travelers’ Pro
tective Association ami asks emersions
from the railroads, appending the names of
nearly all of the firms in Havan
nan. It urges that as travelers in- •
crease trade, new fields are opened up
and the passenger traffic is increased.
Formerly there were only a few drum nors
going out of Savannah, now thore are over
200. The 5,000 mileage book for SIOO is
asked for believing that any restrictions of
the railroad commission can be overcome
by the fact that the concessions, which the
railroads are to grant, ate given to the
association as a b >dy of 100 men ad over.
It is suggested in the letter that coupon
books be made interchangeable over all the
southern roads, or as many as possible. Tha
association asks to be the only purchasers of
the book, with any guarantee tha 1 . the rail
road may wish. It asks also for in the
excess biggage charges.
Copie* cf the letter will be seat from all
tho branches iu the state. The secretary
was instructed to see the wholesale houses
in tho city and request thorn to forward
letters indorsing the association’s letter to
the railroads and write directly to the offi
cials in behalf of the move.
The couventiou in May was dßcussod.
Savannah has partaken of the hospitalities
of the other cities of the state, aud now it
proposes to bring thorn and >wn here and in a
measure show it* appreciation of tho kind
nesses. A Committee, consisting of M. S.
Deitsh, chairman, J. C. DeLottre, Max
Robinson, J. S rauss and M. J. Epstein was
ippointed to a range the date, programme,
etc., for the convention.
The committee was aiso instructed to sug
gest sub committees for the purpose of
carrying out the p ograrnme. Upon this
committee’s suggestion, tho president will
appoint the sub-committees, and steps will
be taken toward carrying tha programme
out. Alter the adjournment ft ie meet
ing,, tho committee held a meeting, a*d
made itß report. It decided that the May
convention should le held in this city on
Tuesday and Wednesday, the 7th
and Bth. It is proposed to make t e
two days pleasant ones to those who attend.
The first port of the first day of the con
vention will be d'voted to business.
After that the ass ciation will devote its
white time to the guests. In the afternoon
of Tuesd it special tr iins will be put on to
Tybed ana the association and its guests
wTll go dow i and spend the afternoon and
evening. Collations will be spread at the
island and a pyrotectnic display Will be the
order of the evening.
On Wednesday nn effort will bs made to
secure one of tue Ocean ste unships to cary
the crowd to sea. The party will bo driven
-var tho city and shown t o sights. An
effort will aUo he made to get the military
companies to join in the entertainment.
Their annual picnics come off about
May 1, but it is likely that, some of them,
and possibly all of them, will postpone
until the day of the drummers’ convention.
If they do, there is a likelihood of the time
bei ig extended and the week made a gal
week. Tho association will raise halt of
the sum require! to carry the convention
through, and it is proposed to go among the
business men and raise the rest.
Invitation will b sent out all over tbo

TO MAKE IT A TAMMANY.
THE AIM OF THE CHATHAM DEMO
CRATIC CLUB.
The Plan of the Campaigrn Mopped
Out by its Oraranizors and the
Schwarz Boomers—How the Schwarz
Men Expect to Capture the Nomina
tion in the Convention, and What
They Will Do If They Fail-Trying
to Break the Ranks of the Clubs.
The Chatham Democratic Club, it is said
by those who ought to know, was organized
for the purpose of being a power in the
politics of Chatham county, and its or
ganizers expect to make it the “Tam
many*’ club of Savannah. The Young
Men’s Democratic Club is a rival of the
Chatham, and corresponds very closely to
the “City Democracy” club of New York,
and its promoters say that it has come to
6tay.
The two clubs will no doubt do much to
shape future campaigns,and while in the first
year of their organization they appear to be
trying to harmonize, there can be, in the
very nature of things, no harmony between
them. At the very outset they are in o 'po
sition on the mayoralty. The Chatham
Club is for Maj. John Schwarz for mayor,
without any equivocation. The Young
Men’s Democratic Clu is for anybody to
heat Schwarz. Whether it be Hamilton.
Thomas or Charlton, or a dark horse, they
are opposed to Schwarz. The Chathams
have no second choice. They are for
Schwarz first, last, and all the time.
THE CAMPAIGNERS AT WORK.
The Chatham Club numbers between 400
and 500 mam hers, but it has been depleting
its membership in a manner which betrays
the political shrewdness and ingenuity of
politicians worthy of Tammany. Some of
the members have ostensibly chopped out,
but they are neither gone nor forgotten.
In fact, they are present in spirit at the
club meetings, but absent in person, getting
in their work where it will do the most
good.
They have been leading actors in organiz
ing subordinate clubs and in securing mem
bership in those clubs and in the Young
Men’s Democratic Club to divide its councils
and to keep posted as to the plan of carn
paisrn by their rival-'. At the meeting at
Metropolitan hall Friday night they were
present, voting first with the Charlton side
of the bouse and next with the Thomas
side. If they can get. one or two of their
friends on the delegation to the convention
of the clubs it will break the solid dela
tion ami defeat the purpose of the club to
vote solidly against Schwarz.
BUILDING CP THE LITTLE CLUBS.
The Italian hand of the Chatham com
paigners can be traced to the organization
of more than one of the smaller clubs
formed during the past two month , in
B),ne of whicu they dominate, and they
claim that in the Savannah, Florida and
Western club that, in return for two .dd*r
men, a Scuwarz delegation is to go to the
convention of the club?. If the Chatham
club finds that Schwarz is strong enough to
carry off the nomination, his name will
go before the convention; if not,
it will whistle the convention down
the wind, and, unfurling the Schwarz
banner, will bid opposition defiance. It is
only coquetting with the Young Men’
De nocratic Cluo to feel its st ength. At
bottom it is “Heads I win, tails you lose,”
in its attitude in the campaign for mayor.
Although Eoiu** 100 or ‘3OO short in member
ship as compared with the Young Men’s
Democratic Club, it will find an excuse to
keen out of the club convention, if it con
cludes to do so, in a refusal to be given as
lar.e a delegation in the convention as the
Young Men’s club, which is numerically
stronger.
THE CONFERENCE PLAN.
They will claim a greater number of
registered voters than the rival club, apd
there will be the plau dble loophole to wash
their hands of t e convention and they and
their allies can walk out of the convention
in a huff, and leave the Young Men’s Demo
cratic Club and its allies to nominate
whom they please.
The Young Men’s Club is composed of
about 000 members. It is composed very
largely of business men, with some of tin
b * t orators of the bar, and some of the
ablest political wire-workers known t
Chatham county politics, but as the club is
divided on whom it shall support for mayor
it is not making hay while the su i shine-.
The very measures’it took at the outset t >
start the campaign early were defeated by
the superior generalship of the opposition.
The latter wanted delay and they succeeded.
A FREE FIELD TO WORK IN.
They bad but one object in view, and
th.'.t was to nave a free field for their can
didate, and that th:*y have had since D c.
7, when the conference committee decided
to wait until Jan. 3. The Young Men’s
Democratic Club, in spite of the elcqueuce
of Hoi. P. W. Meld rim, ratified the action
of delay. “We have no time to lose,” he
said, “an earnest and industri >us enemy is
at work.”
“They will be no nearer agreement,” said
a member of the Chathams yesterday,
“on the night of Jan. 8, than they were
Friday night. They will find dissensions in
more clrn-s than the Young Men’s Club,
when they come to decide on a ticket.”
Another gentleman said: “They tried to
get J. J. Da e to run on their aldermanic
icket, but ho declined. Mr. Dale gave his
friends to under stand that he did not pro
[*>se to pull anybody's che touts out of the
fire H* would have accept *1 the nomina
tion for mayor, but ho liad done enough of
the ‘chestnut' business, and prefers to at
tend to his own affairs wnicli absorb the
greater part of his time.”
THE RAILROAD CLUBS.
A prominent spokesman of the Chatham
Club Bay* that the Young Men’s Democratic
Ciub will fiud, at the proper time, tha;
neither of the two railroad clubs will
meddle in the mayoralty fight: iliat each
railroad wants two repress tatives in the
board of aldermen, and tliat that will be
conceded. Whether an alliance, offensive
a>id defensive, has been made between the
Ch.-.l:lam Club and the railroad clubs is n .t
positively asserted, but there is reason to
i olievo iiiat the Chathams expect the
railroad clubs to stand shoulder to shoulder
with them, and the liquor dealers will not act
until the i osult of the club convention is
Anown. They will make an o- gamced and
opposition to any man that they
have reason to think will not pursue a
liberal policy toward them.

NONE OF THEM GOT SICK.
The Theories In Regard to Sickness
from Wet Cotton Settled by Facts.
There was considerable discussion last
season as to whether tho health of the crews
of vessels would be affected by carrying
wet cotton, and views were widely diver
gent, even the doctors disagreeing.
Jnquiry, however, has failed to discover
that any sickness resulted on shipboard of
the two or three vessels which took t~e wet
cargoes from this port, after all the wrangle
over tho subject.
Capt. F. G. Strachan, of Strachan & Cos.,
says that ho has made inquiries, and ti<t as
far as he could learn no sickness resulted.
Iu one instance, however, the cotton was
carried in a compartment by itself aad the
hatches were sealed, so that the gases could
nbt reach the cotton in the two decks above,
but the captain thinks the precaution was
more to protect the cotton above than to
prevent sickness, although he thinks the wet
cotton not c irried on deck would be un
healthy. If carried on deck, he says that it
cau be kept wet. Father Neptune doing his
share of the wetting on tho voyage.
Capt. Strachan says that Mr. J. B, Duck
worth, of the firm of Duckworth &
Cos., cotton exporters, made inquiry upon
the arrival of the vessels carrying the wet
cottou at the ports of destination, aud no
sickness was reported.
Dr. Duncan says that because the wet
cotton exhaled an offendve odor it does not
follow that it generated malaria. 1 i fact,
he was inclined to ridicule the idea of mala
ria arising from the wet cotton, and re
marked that an offo sive smell is not always
necessarily uubealthful.
SAMPSON GOES TO JAIL.
The Greek Jugged for Selling Mort
gaged Property.
Demondus Sampson, the Greek fruit
merchant, who failed last week, was
arrested last night under a warrant sworn
out by Kavanaugh & Brennan in Justice
Waring Ru sell’s court, and in default of
bail was lodged in jail.
The misdemeanor which is alleged against
Sampson is that so ne two years ago he
gave a mortgage of SSOO on his store, and
among otuer ite.ns of property
embraced in tho mortgage was an
iron safs which he afterward sold in
violation of section 4600 of the Code, which
provides that mortgaged property cannot
bo sold by the mortgagor without the con
sent of the mortgagee, before the indebted
ness covered by the mortgage is first dis
charged.
The penalty for such violation i3 “a flno
in double the sum or debt which said mort
gage was ito secure.” Failure to pay
t o fiue immediately is followed by im
prisonment for not less than six montnsnor
mure than twelve months. As the mort
gage was for SSOO, a very k otcy question
will arise whether the fiue can be SI,OOO, or
double whatever was the value of the safe
if the allegation made is proven.
A Building for the County Records.
At a special meeting of the city council
held yesterday the committee on streets
and lanos rop irted favorab y on tho appli
cation of the county authorities for the use
of a portion of Telfair place on which to
erect a small, temporary, fire-proof build

while the new court house is in cours3 of

was unanimously agreed to.

IHE ODORS THOMAS' ORCHESTRA.
America’s Greatest Orchestral Organi
zation to Make Its Future Home at
Chickering Hall, New York—Chictcer
ing&Sons Form an Alliance with Mr.
Thomas and Aiu. Him to P.aca Hi©
Orcneatra on a Permanent Basis.
From the American Musician, New York.
The firm of Checkering & Bons have ex
perienced an unusually active trad?
throughout the autumn and thus far into
the winter. Not until January will they
be able to fill all the orders already booked.
The extraordinary activity of trade
began towards tho latter oud of toe sum
mer. It 1 .s continued ever since, steadily
increasing till, with one exception (the year
1883) tbi3 year will ba the most prosperous
in the arm’s history.
A great many causes have contributed to
this result. Many changes were made in
the conduct of the business. These have
proven to lie beneficial. Principally, how
ever, the fiue state of the firm’s affairs may
be ascribed to the fact that tho
pianos were never before in so higu a con
dition of developed excellence as they are
now. This is the general opinion of com
petent musicians all over the country.
Contemporaneously with this revival of
their bu-iness the Messrs. Chickering made a
move which can be fairly stated to be one
f tho most important, as well as one of the
most interesting eye its in the history of
music, as well as in the history of the piano
trade in this country, an l it is safe to say
tnat no other event has attracted so much
attention in musical and trade circles for
the past twenty-five years.
This was nothing more nor less than an
alliance with Mr. Thoodore Thomas and
his orchestra.
The C bickeringsnever appear in such a
true light, or are so faithful to the tradi
tions of tneir house, as w hen engaged in
furthering the musical interests of this
country, which they have done at a van
expon&e of money, time and labor, ever
since tho days w hen tho founder of their
house*, Mr. Jonas Chickering, assisted tne
first struggling musician in Boston, three
quarters of a century ago.
It should be said rigut here that in the
relation between Me-srs. (.'bickering and
\lr. Tuomas tuere is nothing that is specu
lative.
The position is a most simple one. The
are simply the leaders of a
widespread movement to sustain Mr.
Thomas and his o c.iestra, and make both
permanent institutions of our national
mu deal life.
The Caicksrings have always had a large
following, especially in the very best social
circles, and the giving of the Tuomas co_i
cert* in their beautiful had will undoubt
edly be the the mean-' of rallying to Mr.
Thomas’ aid a large class of persons who
have hitherttaken but a limited in t eres
in hi* work. Music lovers, and especially
the Germans, will alwavs support Mr.
Thomas wherever he plays, but their num
her i> scarcely sufficient to sustain him. If
t e Ame ioau society element can be called
to his assistance as well, then the combina
tion will be strong.
