THE PLAN OF THE PROPOSED
STATE ASSOCIATION.
Tbe Savannah Association to Submit
a Constitution to tha Associations of
the State for Their Approval—The
Proposed Basis of Representation—
The Admission of Sons of Veterans
Under Discussion.
The Confederate Veterans’ Association
heid a special meeting last night at the
court house. President Gen. L. McLaws
presided, and forty-tight members an
swered to roll call.
At the last regular meeting of the associa
tion, held Sept. 3, the following preamble
and resolutions wore unanimously adopted,
after receiving tho report of Veteran H. E,
Lester, who was chairman of a delegation
sent by tbe Confederate Veterans’ Associa
tion of this city to attend the meeting held
at Atlanta Aug. 15, for the purpose of
organizing a state association of veterans:
Whereas, in sending a delegation of this as
sociation in response to the invitation of the
confederate veterans of Atlanta, to meet with
other veterans from other associations of the
state with the purpose to form a st ito associa
tion. we expected that the business of such
meeting would be conducted by such delegates
so assembling, and
Whereas, from the published account of tbe
proceedings of the matting held in Atlanta on
Aug. 15, it ap|ieara that no delegates, duly ac
credited, were received as such, and that the
conclusion of such meeting was tbe result of a
meeting of individual soldiers; therefore, lie it
Kcaolved, Tnat, in the judgment of this asso
ciation, the plan adopted for tbe organization
of a state association is inadequate to the aims
and desires contemplated, and. therefore, dots
not commend itself to our approval.
■Resolved, That thisassociatiou will cheerfully
unite with all the other associations of tha state
in the organization of a state association, and
that to this end a committee of four he ap
pointed by the president of this association to
formulate and submit a plan which, in turn,
may be submitted by said committee to the
different associations of the state.
TUB NEW STATE ASSOCIATION.
Messrs. A. McDuncan, Rufus K. leister,
John R. Dillon and G. M. Ryals were
appointed a committee under the resolution,
and last night the chairman presented a
report, which was unanimously adopted,
and which embodies a constitution for the
government of the proposed state asso
ciation of confederate veterans. The com -
mittee will have the report printed and
will send a copy to every similar associa
tion in the state, with a circular letter
setting forth the purposes the Savannah
association has in view.
The committee to wbioh was referred for
consideration tho question of admitting to
membership the sons of confederate veterans
also submitted a report, which was received
and laid over until tbe next regular meeting.
OTCbe first six articles of the proposed con
stitution show the plan for the organization
of the state association, the remaining nine
teen articles relating to the duties of the
officers of the state association and pro
viding for a revenue to meet current ex
jieuses. The different associations of con

THE ELECTRIC CAR MOTOB.
The Belt Line to Consider Estimates
for the Storage Battery System.
President W. G. Cooper, of the Belt Li e
railroad, returned from New York a few
Jays ago. He went north on private
business, an i also to examine into the
system of electric railways. Yesterday he
gave a representative of the Morning
News an interesting account of his ob
servations in matters connected with new
motive plants for street cars.
Mr. Cooper agrees with others who have
investigated the subject, that the horse car,
with all it* disagreeable features, will soon
be relegated to the tomb of stage coacnes
and other vehicles of antiquity. His exam
ination embraced the over head and tho
storage battery systems, and lie is very
pronounced in favor of the latter. He in
spected the Julien system, which is in oper
ation on the Fourth avenue line in New
\ ork city, and the Gibson svstem, lately
introduced in Newark, N. J. 'They are both
doing tbe work which they were intended
to do very satisfactorily, at least so far as
could be ascertained from personal investi
gation, and from the statements of those
who have charge of the railways on which
they are operated.
The Julien storage battery is an English
or French invention, ami the first motors
were made abroad, and were very heavy,
weighing with the car between two and
tiiree tons, 'l he more recent equipments
built in this country, however, iiavo re
duced that weight about one-third. It is
claimed that as thoy are now built the cars
are adapted to any street railway in
ordinarily good condition.
The batteries in the storage system are
carried under tho seats and are charged
from a dynamo every four to
five hours. Each car is furnished
with two sots of batteries, developing a
power of about thirty-five norse, of which
only twelve horse power is required to drive
the car after it is in motion. The batteries
are recharged ovary trip from a stationary
dynamo plant. A single charge, however,
will run a car from thirty to forty miles,
and a oar will make 120 miles iu a day’s
run, which is about double that of a horse
car.
President Cooper is thoroughly impressed
with the idea that the storage battery, and
not the overhead wire sy.tem, is the future
motive powor that is to be used on street
railways, and be believes that it is already
a success, and ho will so report to his com
pany. Estimates for a storage battery
equipment will be readv for presentation to
the boardof directors at its next meeting.
A YAMAOBAWBKNSATION.
Police Dig In a Back Yard for a Baby
Burled Alive.
Yamacraw, in the neighborhood of Mar
garet and Farm streets, was excited yester
day over a report that an infant had
been buried alive. A squad ot policemen
and several constables were on the scone.
Tillie Smith (colored) was the woman
charged with the deed. She lives in u
small dirty little house on Margaret street
within a few doors of Farm street. The
woman was arrested and taken to the
barracks.
Israel Middleton, an old colored man
living a few doors west of where the woman
lived, on the same street, is the party who
put tho officers oil the case. He went back
into the yard with them and pointed out
the spot where fresh dirt hail been shoveled
up and remarked that tho infant was
underneath it. The officers began their
search for tbe child. They spsdeil the dirt
away, but nothing was found. Tho house
was searched, and every corner was looked
iuto, but the child supposed to have been
buried alive was not fouud.
The woman stoutly denies the charge
which the old man preferred against her
When questioned about the matter she said
that the child had died and that it was
buried iu the cemetery. She referred the
officers to a physician, and the physician
said that he gave her an order for a burial
permit. The officers went where the woman
directed, nud the infant was found buried
in a box in the oeraetery. The woman was
then released.
The trouble grew out of a dispute and
quarrel between Tillie and the old man
The woman swore out a warrant charging
Middleton with cursing and abusing her
He was arrested and arraigned before a
magistrate and gave bond. He immedi
ately reported to the officers that the
womau had buried the child alive. When
this was disproved he swore out a warrant
charging the woman with a breach of the
peace. After the woman was released from
the first charge she got out of the way, and
tbe constables were hunting for her nil the
afternoon. She was not found, however
at a late hour, ami Middleton was very mad
about it. He is determined to be avenged
he said. ’

COBTS MORE TO STOW IT.
Stevedores Threaten to Raise the
Price of Handling Cotton Bagging.
“If shippers continue to export cotton in
the present white covering, we will have to
receive more money tor our labor,” said a
well-known stevedore yesterday. “The
price for stowing will have to be raised
V\ ith the jute covering a gang of five tneii
could haudle a bale easily, but with the cot
ton covering it requires "two gangs, or ten
men, and they have to handle it very care
fully to keep it from falling to pieces, as the
class of covering put 011 is ie*Uy no cover
ing at all, or about equal to cheese covering
and eanuo' stand much pressure from toe
screws. You can say that this is the opin
ion of a practical stevedore."

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
The Hydrographic Survey Vessel
Looked For Very Soon.
The vessel for the hydrographic surrey of
the waters of the Georgia coast is anxiously
expected by those interested in oyster
farming—not only Georgians, but
those in other states who have turned their
attention to the oyster-bearing waters of
this state, since the enactment of the Fotell
law. As already stated in the Mousing
News, a Connecticut gentleman is on his
way to Georgia with a vessel to investigate
the waters of this coast in advance of tbo
government vessel, and he writes that, he
will touch at Wiimiugtou Island for a con
ference with Dr. A. Oemler and bis sons,
who are well posted in the waters of Chat
ham, Bryan and Liberty counties.
It is believed that the Rice resolution to
provide a commission to investigate what
other legislation is necessary to promote
the oyster industry of Georgia will pass,
and that the next general assembly wili be
better prepared tol 'gi.late on the subject
than the present body.
The oyster industry in the south is in its
infancy, but it is attracting wide attention.
South Carolina protects, ils oyster beds by
restrictive legislation, and as a result her
Bull bay and Daufuskie oysters are in pop
ular deinaud, and instead of its waters
being depleted by the oyster fishery they
are kept stocked.
William Miles Hazzard of Georgia con
templates establishing a 4,000-acre oyster
plant in Winyah bay, South Carolina, and
in iv proposition to Commissioner Butler
writes both instructively and entertainingly
on the subject. He says:
‘‘l have watched for the past two years
with great interest the efforts being made
by the state (North Carolina) to establish
an oyster industry on its coast. Seuator
Ransom and others induced the United
States navy department to detach Lieut.
Winslow, an expert in oyster culture, to
make a survey of the bays and rivers of
North Carolina and determine the suitable
grounds for locating farms. The state
paid salaries and expenses. In 1880
the oyster business of the state was
absolutely insignificant, as much so as
it is now in our state. In the past two
years 53,000 acres suitable for oyster
culture have been located, and thousands
of people are now being employed, aud
hull rods of thousands of dollars will bo
spent; all this, of course, adding to the
taxes of the state aud prosperity of her
seaboard people. Now we need just such
an industry started on our seaboard. It re
quires the greatest scientific knowledge, and
thorough test of water a..d bay or river
bottoms, to determine where oysters will
grow. Liout. Winslow thinks an outfit
too costly to undertake the location of less
than 4,000 acres. His estimate is this:
Plant steamer or lighter for transport
ing seed oysters $ 10,000
Bhore buildings 5,000
Salaries of offices aud wages 4,0 JO
Seed oysters, Dedding and planting 31,000
Expense to establish 4,000 acres $ 50,000
“This does not include expense of survey
ing suitable grouud. In a conversation
with Lieut. Winslow, and upon examina
tion of the United States coast survey map
of Wiuyah bay, with its creeks, he thinks
four thousand acres may be suitable for
oyster culture in area alluded to. If your
department will give me the exclu.-ive right
to establish an oyster industry in this area,
1 will undertake to have the ground sur
veyed and start the industry. This success
fully done, your department will have no
trouble to get the legislature help to con
tinue the industry, Wuieh will be a blessing
to our people.”
It is believed that before next year
northern oystermen, with large capital,
will, under the liberal provisions of the
Posted bill, tan* up farms for planting in
Georgia waters, a step upon which there is
some division of opinion among residents
along the Georgia coast, some of whom
think that oystermen from abroad sh iuld
have been restricted from establishing
oyster farms in Georgia waters, while others
hold that any individual or corporation
should be welcome to come aud plant aud
cultivate oysters on bottoms now barren.
BELKNaP AND GABBETT.
Mr. Gabbett’s First Rid 9 in the Gen
eral Manager’s Buggy.
“That is General Manager Cecil Gab
bett,” was the reply yesterday to ques
tions as to who the gentleman in Maj.
Belknap’s buggy was.
Yesterday was tho first time that Mr.
Gabbett occupied the general manager’s
buggy alone. He was driving down Bull
street, on his way to the Central railroad
bank, and ns the buggy turned into the
Bay the new general manager’s robust
figure, and a face covered with a
full black beard, was new to those
who have been accustomed to the
lithe figure of Maj. Belknap.
Tho two men are as different in
apiiearance as it is possible for them
to be. Geueral Manager Gabbett is
well built and stout, with heavy
eyebrows aud a forohead showing a fe*
wrinkles. His hair is dark, and is incliued
to curl, as is his beard. He is a brunette,
while Maj. Belknap is a blonde. The la'ter
is a splendid figure, not above the medium
size, and his hair is flaxen. A light-colored
mustache is all the beard he wears.
> The manner of the two men
bears a striking resemblance. General
Manager Gabbett knows almost every man
ou the four roads of which ho is at the
head, and it will not be long before he will
know every man on the Central. He tro its
his employes as men, but the maimer of
doing so, while genuine and frank, does not
give room to mistake the position which
they hold. He is a man calculated to com
mand respect at all times, aud employes do
not fail to recognize that he Is their su
l>erior.
Maj. Belknap’s manner is not unlike that
of Geueral Managor Gabbett in this respect.
No matter who called at his oiliee, or upou
what business, he always invited his visitor
lu and listened patiently and with the most
marked eour.esy. If ho hel 1 radically dif
ferent views, he reviewed the situation, aud
in an affable manner, peculiar to him, lie
oftentimes carried his point. At all times
ho left the impression on the visitor that
he hid been treated with consideration.
Proportionately the same consideration was
given the laborer as was shown the head
official. “A kind word for everybody,”
was Maj. Belknap’s policy.
REWARDS FOR GALLANTRY.
Capt. Harvey’s Rescue of the 111-Fated
Domingo’s Crew Again Recognized.
The board of trade of Newcastle, Eng
land, has awarded a piece of plate to Capt.
John W T . Harvey, master of tho steamship
Napier, of North Shields, in recognition of
his kindness and humanity to the ship
wrecked crew of the steamship Domingo,
of Sunderland, whom he rescued at sea on
Nov. 27, 1888. The board also granted the
following rewards to the crew of tho
Napier’s life-boat, which rescued at great
risk a portion of the crew of the Domingo
a silver gallantry medal to Thomas Potts,
second mate, and a bronze gallantry medai
and a suin of £2 each to John Welch, Olaf
Bugge, Fred Boos and James Smith, sea
men.
The Domingo was wrecked off Cape
Hatteras, and her crew was taken off at
great risk by Capt. Harvey, of the Napier.
Capt. Harvey was presented shortly after
ward in this city a handsome gold watch
by the Earn Line Steamship Company of
Philadelphia, in recognition of bis gallant
aud humane conduct.
The Napier laid by the wrecked steamer
for twenty hours, when the ship signaled
that she was sinking and must be aban
doned immediately. Capt. Harvey lowered
a boat and at groat peril to the lives of the
crew rescued the officers and crow of the
Domingo a id brought them to Savannah.
The Napier is due i ere iu a few days, and
will probably be here this week.

COL ANDREW YOUNG DEAD.
A Gallant Soldier and Citizen Called to
His Reward.
A brief notice of the death of Col. An
drew Young, at his home in Cleburne,
Tex., appeared in the Georgia column of
tho Morning News of yesterday. Col.
Young is remembered by maDy citizens of
Savannah, who formed his acquaintance
when he was stationed hero at tue begin
ning of the war as .surgeon of the First
Georgia regulars, to which position he was
appointed by Gov. Joe Brown.
When Paul Semmes organized the Second
Georgia Volunteers Dr. Young was ap
pointed surgeon of the regiment, and
accompanied it to Virginia. Desirous of
participating more actively in the war,
Col. Young resigned the position of surgeon,
and returning to his home, in Blairsville,
he organized what was known as tne Young
Volunteers, a company which was attached
to . the Twenty third Georgia, aud par
ticipated iu the peninsular campaign iu tire
neighborhood of Yorktown, Va.
At the 1 attle of Seven Pines Col. Young
was wounded, a ininie ball passing through
his breast and making its exit in the back.
He was left for dead on the field, but friends
found him, a silk handkerchief was passed
entirely through the wound, and he so far
recovered as to be able to be taken home.
Whou he became convalescent he revisit and
his old regiment, and while in Rictimocd
was given a commission to raise a eavairv
regiment, which was known as Young’s
regiment of cavalry.
After the war closed, Col. Young located
at Monroe, Walton county, and practiced
medicine a year, when he removed to Cle
burne, Tex., a town at that time of only
fifty inhabitants, but now a city of nearly
5,000 population. Col. Young retired from
the practice of medicine some years ago, t ie
appreciation of his town property enriching
him. At the time of his death he was editor
of the Cleburne Tribune , a paper owned bv
his sons.
Col. Young was an active politician be
fore thA war, and had served in both
branches of the Georgia legislature as a
representative of Union county■ and that
senatorial district. He was au active friend
of the la e Howell Cobb, whose political
ambitions he always sought to advance,
and he was also a partisan of the Hon. Joe
Brown before the war.
Col. Young was a graduate of the Au
gusta Medical College aud of the Jcfforson
Medical College of Philadelphia. His wife
died last year. Col. Young was born at
Mount Vernon, Marion county, Tennessee,
and was iu his 73d year at the time of his
death. He was an uncle of Capt. A. A.
Winn of this city, and a brother-in-law of
Col Barkley, who was killed at Amietaro,
and bore the same relation to Glen. John C.
Vaughn, who died at Tnomasville since the
war. Col. Young leaves five children, who
have reached their majority, aud reside at
Cleburne, Tex.

AT THE THEATER.
The Haverly-Cleveland Minstrels To-
Night and To-Morrow Night.
The Cleveland-Haverly minstrels will be
to-night’s and to-morrow night's attractions
at the theater. The excellence of the co r*
pany is undoubted. Billy Emerson, the
five-bundred-a-week mimtrel, is with the
show. He still can stng the song
that made him famous, “I Feel
Just as Happy as a Big Sunflower.”
Those who reinemt er the monster mastodon
mammoth minstrel shows of Haverly in his
palmy days will not be surp tsel, the New
York Mirror says, that he should have re
turned to bis old love. The Haverly-
Cleveland minstrels furnish a lively enter
tainment, and no one will regret an evening
spent in their company, where you can
laugh at the jokes of the burnt-cork come
dians, listen to the singing of white-faced
warblers clad in the garb of courtiers, aud
watch the nimble Japanese troupe in their
wonderful gymnastic and balancing fears.
There i3 nothing old or threadbare from first
to last, and the whole show moves with
spirit and speed. The first part, with its
handsome costumes and other new features,
is the biggest kind of a hit, and the singing
and instrumental music are always heartilv
ap lauded.
The sale of seats is the best evidence of
the kind of audiences that the company will
have.

NORTH CAROLINA’S TOBACCO.
The Crop Reported to be Greater
Than Ever Known.
Thomas N. Theus has returned from a
five weeks’ trip to Asheville, N. C. This is
his fifth visit to the mountains of Carolina.
Mr. Theus took advantage of the opportu
nities offered of touring the Asheville dis
trict, and he visited some of the tobacco
farms and saw the crops, which were about
to be harvested, and which were gathered
before he returned to Savannah. Ho said
that the prospects for immense yields are
more favorable for all crops than the people
of that part of the country have ever
known.
Tne tobacco patches especially attracted
Mr. Theus’ attention. He brough„ back
with him a sample of the tobacco leaf,
which has just been cured. It is a pretty
orange color, and is sold for $75 per 100
pounds where it is grown.
The crop in North Carolina is about gath
ered and “housed” now. It will be pre
pared for the factories after it has become
thoroughly dry.
Not many tobacco growers have pa'ches
larger than six and eight acres. The growers
consider that they have a very la- ga crop
when they have twelve acres. Even this
small acreage requires more attention than
some of the large cotton and corn fields in
Georgia. The greatest care is exercised in
preventing the worms from damaging the
leaves of the plant. A force of hands pick
ing the leaves is in the field from the ti ne
tho plant gets large enough to have leaves,
until ha vest tune comes, when the stalk is
stripped and tne leaves are bundled iuto
bales. 1 hey are stowed away until the
leaves have become perfectly dry, then
they are takeu out and after being assorted
and dressed the leaves are again bundled
and sold.
