The Fund for the Family of Driver Wlehra Growing The Citizens' Meeting Authorizes the Mayor to Ts-ie Charge of the Fund—The Fords to Give a Benefit—Additional Con tributions. One more victim of the falling walls of the Miller building, John Ogren, a carpet layer for Teeple & Cos., is lying at his home, No. 54 Jefferson street, badly burned on the left leg and foot and about the face. He is also severely bruised about the loins, and is quite feverish. Dr. Harris is attending him. Ogren is comparatively a stranger in the city, and in the excitement incident to the accident was lost sight of after his rescue. He was buried to his hips in hot bricks on Broughton street, and was rescue 1 by Alderman McDonough and Chief Fireman Puder and taken over to Coilat's spire, and afterward to his home, where his wife, with a child but 2 weeks old, has been un remitting in her attention. The attention of Chief I’uder was called to Ogreu’s condition iast night, and he vis ited the injured man and assured him that be would have attention. The body of Patrick F. May was sent by the Charleston and Savannah road to Charleston at 6:45 o’clock yesterday morn ing. An escort in carriages, consisting of TV. H. Kay, his employer, P. J. O’Connor, president of the Ancient Order of Hiberni ans, Chief Fireman Puder, Dennis Kiley. ■with whom May bearded, and four of the dead man’s fellow-workman, accompanied the remains to the depot. THE INJURED GETTING BETTER. The wnunaea men are aolng iairly well. Richard Hart has taken no nourishment aince the accident, and complains of pains about the head and limbs, but Dr. Liucoln said last nigbt that both Hart and Lepinsky are doing as well as could be expected, and will recover. They are a; St. Joseph’s In firmary. The doctor said that the wound in Lepinsky’s shoulder was from a splinter having been driven in it. Henry Goodson, at the Savannah hos pital, was resting better last night. He is under Dr. Duncan’s treatment. Mrs. Good son has been in constant attendance upon her husband, but visitors are excluded. He took some nourishment yesterday, and his chances for recovery are favorable. He is badly bruised, and six stitches were taken in the gash on his bead, which extended across his forehead. He vomited blood the morning after his injury, and it was thought he might have internal inju ries, but as there was no after hemorrhage, it is thought that he had swallowed the blood which had trickled down his face from the ghastly wound across his forehead. J. F. ritroo nr, cull man of the No. 2, is Under Dr. N rton’s treatment at the resi dence of the former, at Wayne and Mont gomery streets. His right arm is broken in three places, he lias two scalp wouuds and is bruised about the loins, the latter injury affecting his left leg, so that lie is unable to move it, and he has not changed position in bed since he was taken home. Hu case and that of Goodson appear to lie tlie only critical ones. Morris Buttimor, who was not seriously Injured, is doing well. THE firemen’s relief fund.

The real purchaser of the Savannah, Dublin and Western Short Line Railway is still a matter of conjecture, but it is almost universally believed that the Central rail road is tho power behind tho throne. A Morning News ropo ter essayed yes terday to draw out Mr, Denmark, who bid the road in, out Mr. Denmark declined to enlighten the public. Mr.CharlesN. West,who represents parties complainant to tho original bill of Ferguson & Cos., said that be does not know who aro tho purchasers, and he did not try toconoealthe fact that be would like to know, but be doubted if it would bo de veloped until the courtis asked to confirm the sale. It having been rumored that the South Hound is the purchaser, Mr. Herman Myers, president of the South Hound, was asked about it. He said that as far as he knows such is not tho case, and he went further aud remarked that if the South Bound had bought, it would have no reason nor disposition to conceal the fact. The air of secrecy which is thrown about tho purchase deepens the impression that tho ( eutral is tho purchaser. A gentleman, in discussing the matter yesterday, said that under the law no railroad corporation can buy, aud for this reason tho facts aro withheld from the public. It was Gen. Alexander, and not the Central, that bought and paid SIOO,OOO to Maj. Branch for the road and franchises, and, he added: “Now that it has had the road bid in for $35,000, it has expended $135,000 for a road that it doesn’t want built, aud it would sell cheap if it could be with a guaranty that the rood bed is not to be used for railway service.” OOL. HAWKINS SBNT FOB. He Will Be Here to Talk Railroad the Latter Part of the Week. The committee which has been soliciting subscriptions to the $50,000 fund for the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery rail road had a meeting at the Board of Trade rooms yesterday afternoon, at which there vrere present: Joseph D. Weed, chairman; Isaac G. Haas, secretary, and Messrs. John It. Young, president of the Board of Trade, Joseph Hull, id. L. Lazaron, Herman Myers, J. K. Sheldon and Laurence McNeili. It was reported that $85,000 in round numbers have been subscribed, and it was decided to invite Col. S. H. Hawkins, presi dent of the road, to Savannah for a confer ence with the committee. Sir. Young stated last night that Col. Hankins will accept the invitation, and come to Savannah the latter part of the week. CITY BREVITIES. Solomon’s Lodge No. 1, A. F. and M., meets this evening.

Tha Chatham Delegation at the Con vening of tho Legislature. The July session of tho legislature con vened yesterday, and the prospects are that it will be a loug one. All of the Chatham delegation was present at tho opening of the session. Representative Gordon said a day or two ago that from the outlook tue session will not by any means be a short one. Toe last session lusted 120 days, and the average sessiou is 100 days. Capt. Gordon was asked if lie thought the sentiment of the leg islature will be in f ivor of liberal educational legislation. “That matter has already been settled,” ho replied. Already $105,000 have been appropriat 'd this year, ad ab ut $330,000 for next year, and both appropriations are in addition to all specific taxes which nave been granted heretofore. He theught, however, tunt an effort will be made to appropriate the entiro revenue from the state road to the educa tional fund. _ As it is now only one-half of tho revenue is appropriated for that pur pose. Capt. Gordon was asked if the sentiment of the legislature on tho question of paying tho lessees of the Westorn and Atlantic rail road for betterments, etc., is in favor of allowing the claim. He replied that he thought tho claim will not bo allowed. There will of course be some little discussion over the matter, and Capt. Gordon behove.l that some effort will be made to push the matter through, but bo was of tho opinion that the legislature as a whole is not in favor of it. Chatham county as a rule is rather slow m getting its bills before the legislature. There is, however, no telling how many may be presented. There are several important bills to be considered at this session. One of them is a bill in refer ence to the control of the streets and lanes by the mayor and aldermen. Capt. Gordon thought that any sale of streets and lanes ought to be subject to confirmation by a vote of the people. The Olive bill, Capt. Gordon thought, will stay about whore it was last summer. He thought that the advocates of tne measure will try to obtain further consideration and a vote upon the bill, but he was very doubtful if it would pas-. He was of the opinion that the state is as much bound by its contract as is an individual. He did not think that retroactive laws will bo enacted to break its obligations incurred prior to the constitu tion of 1877. JUNE A WEDDING MONTH. More People to Marry This Year Than Married Last Year. There was a big rush on the ordinary’s office last month for marriage licenses, and 62 wore issued—2s to white couples and 87 to colored. This runs up the number of marriage licenses for the first six months of the year to 362, and Clerk Keilbach says that if the rate of increase is maintained, the licenses for the year wifi exceed those of 1888 over 100. The following is a statement of the number issued for the first half of the present year: White. Col'd. Tot'l.

A. O’Byrne, P. F. Gleason, William McHarrie, John J. Gaudrv, M. F. Molina, Thomas West and George Myer, the committee having charge of the plan to raise money to aid the Regimental armory fund, met last night at Catholic Library hall for conference, and a mass meeting of the regiment is to be held at Library hall next Tuesday night.

Garmany was convicted of assault and battery upon Jatnes Farie, Jr., an account of which was given in the Morning News at the time it was committed, by a jury in the city court yesterday, and Judge Harden, after a scathing lecture to the defendant, fined him s'2so, and in default of payment of the line, three months imprison ment without labor.

FENCE MEN’WIN THE DAY THEY CARRY THE ELECTION BY 608 MAJORITY. The City Voters Stay at Home and the Country Voters Have Every thing Their Own Way—A Quiet Elec tion With Little Buying of Votes- The Colored Vote Heavy and Solid for Fence—The Official Returns Made Up. The “fence” men won yesterday by 608 majority, a vote of more than two to one. The vote was 1,126 for “fence” and 518 for “no fence.” The country voters came in strong for fence, and the successive rains from be fore noon until the polls closed and the gen eral apathy of the city voters contributed to the defeat of the “no fence” party. The fence men w re led ny Alderman 11. F. Harmon aud D. C. Newton. The colored vote was polled solidly for “fence.” There were 1,043 votes i> filed, 537 of which were at box No. 1, and BJ6 at box No. 2. The vote was a: follows; Box No. 1 — fence, .569; no fence, 249. Box No. 2 fence, .537; no fence, 2D9. The vote was divided as follows: Fence. No Fence. Majority. Box Mo. 1 5*9 249 349 Box No. 2 537 269 268 Total 1,126 618 608 AROUND THE POLLS. There was very little excitement about the polls, the greater part of the crowd being negroes, who marched up and down in front of the court bouse crying “fence, fenetf!” One in particular varied t e mo notony by appeals, in a high key, to vote for the “poah widder and * orfints.” Very few escaped having a fence ticket thrust in their faces, with the request to “remember the poor widow and her cow.” The poor widow racket took like wildfire among the colored pc iple, and they rung the changes on it to the last moment. They could tee how the vote was going, and when tho polls ciosod a wild shout of triumph went up over the day’s work. After the result of the election had been announced the crowd expressed its joy in various ways. Some sang and danced on the sidewalks and some dropped into the barrooms and drank deeply to the success of the fence side in future elections. counting the vote. When the polls closed tho boxes were taken to the superior court grand jury room, wiiere the votes were counted out, and tho returns officially reported to Judge Ferrill, of tho court of ordinary, who af er receiving them declared tho result in favor of “fence.” The growth of popular sentlmont for “no fence” since the election on the fence ques tion a few years ago caused gen eral remarks, at:d a great many wavering votes were taken over to the fence camp by the specials argument that while the no fence law is undoubted! v the best for thickly populated counties where all the lauds are arable, it is too soon to adopt it in Chatham county, as the agri cultural interests have nut been developei enough to demand the no fence law. This argument is looked upon as a favorable omen of a gravitation toward no fence in the noar future. Q nearly all the vote from the country. , It is bcliove.l that nearly 1,090 of tho 1,044 votes polled were from the country, which was practically solid for fence, and it is conceded that if tlie city had polled a full vote tho fence men would have been buried under a majority nearly double that by which they prevailed. The only excitement of the day was occa sioned by the ejectment by Deputy Sheriff Franklin of an intoxicated ma-i from the office of Clerk Carr, where tho polls of box 1 were received, and but little drinking was indulged in during the day. The real vote cast w s but 1,643, although the official returns gave 589 votes for “fence” and 249 for “no fence” at box No. 1, which was one vote in excess of the vote cast, and of which the “fence” men got the benefit. The total vote was 1,536 short of the registered vote of the county, the fall ing off coming from tho city. LOCAL PERSONAL. Mr. and Mrs. W. B.

The Dispensary to Have a Telephone. The need of a telephone at the city dis pensary was recognized the night of the tiro when ambuiaucos were needed to con vey the dead aud wounded firemen to their homes or to the hospital. Keeper Cass and his assistant, Mr. McCoy, had no way to get bandages and other things required, ex cept to send or go themselves, and the dis peusary was kept open uutil midnight for any emergency that might arise. Aldermen Harris and Reid, who were at the dispensary during the greater part of the evening, told Mr. Cass that a telephone is badly needed, and Alderman Falligant concurred in the opinion.

Dublin Dies from Injuries Re ceived in the Central Railroad Yard. Augustus H. Dublin, a switchman in the Central railroad yard, died at 7 o’clock last night at the Savannah hospital from inju ries received yesterday morning while coupj ling cars near the west end of the freight house in the up freight yard. He was drilling a train, and the cars were in motion backing up to a car standing on tne traok. In going between the moving train and the stationary car Dublin's foot slipped and he fell with one leg inside and one outside the track, the train crushing his right leg from the knee down. The injured man was hueriedly removed to the Savannah hospital, where Dr. Hum mel, a-sisie 1 by Drs. Colding. Duncan and Charlton, did ail they could to relieve his suffering, hut the shock to his nervous sys tem was so great that he could not rally from it. He was conscious up to about 6 o’clock, when he began to sink. Shortly after F. A. Junes, freight ageni, and S. A. Border-, yardmaster of the Central, called to see him. Mr. Dublin rubied, and rec >g nizing Mr. Jones, said: ''Thank God! I am glad you have come. Don’t leave me.” These were the last words he uttered. He sank into a comatose state, and at 7 o’clock death came to his relief. e The deceased wj< of the Hebrew faith, a native of Now York city, but wa3 brought to Charleston, S. C., by his pareuts in his boyhood days. He was unmarried, and was the son of H. Dublin, 407 King street, Charleston, to whom the body will be sent to-day. Yardmaster Borders said of Dublin that he was one of the most trustworthy and reliable men he has ever bad in his employ, and the best switchman in the yard. The deceased had been a yard switchman for the Central since 1881, and had twenty-eight years’ experience in railroad work, having at one timo been yardmaster of the South Carolina railway at Charleston. He was 43 years of age, and by his frugal habits hail accumulated about $1,500 during his connection with the road. His only sur viving relative is his father, who is a shop keeper in Charleston. TALKING OF ELECTRIC MOTORS. The Belt Line Considering the Adop tion of a New Power. Ever since the inception of the Belt Line railway the company has been investigating motors of various kinds for propelling its cars, so as to do away wth animal power. Steam dummies, naptha engines, electric storage batteries and the overhead electric systems have each received consideration, but none of these appeared to be what was wanted. The only system which appeared to be at all successful, and one which, at the same tune, could be used in the streets, was electric motors on the cars driven from an overhead wire. The objection, however, to that was the danger from the wire breaking aud injuring people in the streets. Yesterday the stockholders of the com pany met for the purpose of hearing Mr. Charles B. S eole, representing the Daft Electric Light Company, to explain its rail way motor system. Mr. Steele had a very attentive audience to which he made a statement regarding the advantages of electricity as a motor power for street rail ways. Among the claims made regarding the Daft system was the absolute absence of danger from the electric current used. Mr. Steele was requested to submit ail esti mate for applying his system to the Belt Line. If electricity can be used to ad vantage and with safety on the Savannah street car lines it will boa vast improve ment over the horse and mule power now in use. There appears to be no reason why it cannot be usod in Savannah as well as in other cities, and the Belt Lino Company proposes to give the subject its careful con sideration. FORDS AT THEIR BEBT. The Association's Second Performance as Big a Success as the First. The Fords gave their second performance of “The Galley Slave,” before a fine audi ence last night. The parquet and dre s cir cle of the theater were well filled, and the audience was an appreciative one. The cast was the same as in the first per formance. Miss Van Sickle as “Cicely Blaine,” Miss Sedgewick as “Fancesea,” Miss Arthur as “Phcebe Gay,” and Miss Biancko as “Psyche gay,” each shared the honors with the other. Mr. Neill as “Nor cott,” Mr. Duffield as “the Baron,” Larry Doyle as “Oliphsnt” and Joe Doyle as “Pitts" were at their best. The other parts, “Napier,” by Mr. McLeod, and “Carots,” by Mr. Fleming, were well sus tained. The Fords have, by far, the strongest combination tiiat they have ever had. The performance was as if the pieco had been played for months. There was not a hitch, ami Savannahians have, in the two per formances that the Fords have given this week, an assurance of a brilliant season of amusements ahead. The Fords will leave lor Macon this morning and will play there to-night. The next performance by the Fords here will be the benefit perform ance on Monday night for the Wiehr’s fund. Chas. H.

A bill is about to be presented to the leg islature by the Hon. W. T. Atkinson, of Coweta, to establish an industrial school for girls in Georgia, after the plan of the one in Columbus, Miss., which has demon strated itself a success. It will embrace three departments—liter ary, normal and industrial, the latter to include phonography, stenogra: by, teleg raphy, printing, drawing, wood-carving, designing patterns, etc., this department being left open to introduce other branchos of work of art as may present themselves and seem desirable—all tending to the prac tical education of giris, opening neiv ave nuos whereby they can sustain themselves and others who might lie dependent upon them, whenever inclination or necessity re quired. Georgia has been lavish with her gifts to her sons, but has bestowed no dowry upon her daughters. The chivalry of her sons will not allow this injustice to continue longer, hence we see the source of the pres ent movement. Now, shall the women of Georgia remain silent whilst this effort is being made in their behalf* No! Not one but would lift up her voice and cry “God speed,” could they but realize the importance of this step. Let them awaken an l rally around their leader and advocate, holding up his hands, like Aaron of old, with petitions filled with thousands of names, from rich and poor, from high and low, that shall present an invincible wall against ail opposition. Let “industrial college” be the watch word that shall resound from mountain to seaboard, then wafting to the bosom of the broad Savannah, reverborate again and again until it dies away in the sluggish waters of the Chattahoochee, and might with right shall have gained the victory; then the ocho shall come softly back to us with the glad refrain: “Our daughters may be as corner-stones polished after the simili tude of palaces.” H. 8. Smith. Newnan, Ga., July 3,1889. The Sunday Liquor Law. Editor Morning Neics: Allow me to state that the ordinance preventing the keeping open on Sundays of tippling houses, and the sale of intoxic iting liquors is continually and defiantly violated, is a fact that cannot be denied. Witness tha corner groceries on Sundays, with their crowds of motley ne groes, drunk and disorderly, passing in and out of the side doors, imbibing their draughts of poison, and all under the eyes of the police authorities! Such violations of the Sunday liquor laws are not allowed or tolorated in any other city. That this is a disgrace and a blot on Sa vannah’s fair name, the traveling public openly testifies to. The church-goers on their way to services on Sundays, are eve witnesses to this sad state of affairs, which calls for the immediate attention both of the state and municipal aulhorities. Law and Order. RAIL AND CROSBTIS. Track laying on the Union Point and White Plains road is progressing slowly but it is thought that in six or eight weeks’ the cars will be running. The Wall Street News says that some of the holders of Richmond Terminal stock are worried on account of the proposed building of the Georgia, Carolina aud Northern. The Athens Banner snys that the cross ties for the railroad from" Craw ford to Lex ington are now delivered. The road bod has been touched up, ami in a short time the work of laying rails will commence In about six weoks, at farthest, it is thought that the cars will be moving. The Morning News announced a day or two ago that Thomasville had raised sl3 - 000 for the proposed road from Thomasville to Cordele. That amount was rai-ed at one meeting. Thornasvillo has raised altogether *70,000 for the road. The metropolis of Thomas county means business when it goes at any enterprise. — k At Estill’s.

FROM THE, AMERICAN MUSICIAN, New York, April 6. THE experience of American as well aS European pianomakers with Dr. Hans von Bulow is that he is a man very hard to please, with an uncontrollable habit of saying exactly and precisely what he thinks, especially whsa he is displeased. We will now refer to the warm eulogfum In von Bulow has expressed privately to many friends, critics, musicians, as to the Knaba Piano, nor will we express any Individual favorable opinion, which might, coming from a musical paper supported by Messrs. Knabe. be expected as natural, whether right or wrong. We will content ourselves with saying that the whole New York press and all the musicians are enthusiastic over the grandeur, the magnificent intellectuality, the high musicianly character ol Bulow's playing, and we will draw from thil fact the logical moral that to have enabled him to produce such a result, such an effect upon his auditors, the instrument he played on must have been a masterpiece, and as an editorial in the New York Sun truly says, “wondrous in the quality of its sound, in its power and its resonance, far surpassing all like instruments.
