The City Council to be Petitioned for Bights of Way aa Soon as the En gineer’s Report Has Been Acted Upon by the Directors—The Work on the New Road to Start at Sa vannah. The committee of the South Bound rail road, appointed to have a route surveyed through or near the city, will probably make its report early next week. The engineer has run two lines through tbe southern part of the city south of Ander son street, and along the eastern limits to a point ne >r the Tybee railroad depot. As soon as the directors act oa the report of the engineer the matter will be presented to the city council, and it will be asked to grant tbe right of way through certain streets. It is understood that tits South Bound company propose* to begin the construction of the road at Savannah and build north ward. This plan will not only facilitate the building of the road, but will result in immediate benefits to tne trade of Savan nah. A gentleman interested In the enterprise said yesterday that if there are uo delays in getting terminal facilities the railroad will tap the cotton growing section of South Carolina before the next crop is marketed. A great deai, however, depends upon the liberality of the city authorities in granting rights of wav. Other cities are making large subscriptions in money to induce railroads to build to them. Of course, tue gentleman added, a money contribution from the ody of Savannah was not asked or expected, even were it within the p issibilitiei to get one The mayor and aldermen, however, can help considerably in the matter of rights of way. There have been a number of inquiries as to what route the committee has chosen, but those in the secret declined to give it away Tbe chairman of .he committee, in reply to a question asked by a Morning News reporter, said thai until the rep rt has been made to the board of directors he is not at lib rty to de*iguate the route located by the engineers. THE SIGNAL MSN HIT IT. The Temperature Drops Enough to Justify the Cold Wave Signal. Yesterday was a good deal cooler than the day before. The temperature got down to 58 s yesterday morning, and it is expected to go lower this morning. The cold wave passed along the route predicted in yester day’s) Morning News. It was very cold north of savannah. At Atlanta the tem perature got down to 44 -i , and this morning It will be very much lower. At Norfolk it went to 36”.

The l.eavie t rainfall reported was at Brownsville The Highest tempera ture reached in Sava.mah was only 10* above tbe minimum. The weather was uniform nearly ail day. The brea h of the cold wa'e passing through the nortu of this state, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina was very perceptible. It conti ues cold in the extreme nortu west, with fair weather. In New York, Penn sylvania, Illinois and Indiana the cold wave is still lelt, and the weather lias moderated but little.

The Vessel Brings Down One Hun dred and Ten Passengera The Kansas City, which was expected to come into port on yesterday morning’s tide, did not arrive in Tybee Hoads until 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and did not reach her slip until last night, coming up on tbe night tide. The strong he id winds en countered on the voyage are assigned as the cause for her slow trip. There were 110 cabin passengers, among ■whom is a i excursion party from Brooklyn on its way to Jacksonville. The party were met here by W. E. Arnold, navigation agent of the Ocean Steamship Company, who will s ow t-.e tourists everv attention. Among the passengers were Lieut. O. M.

The Masonic Lodges, Except Solo mon's, Looking lor a New Home. ere is a movement among the members is Masonic fraternity of Savaunab, looking to the erection of anew Masonic temple. It is stated that all the lodges of the city, with the exception of Solomon’s Lodge No. 1, which ovns the present tun pie at toe corner of Liberty and Whitaker streets, have appointed committees to con sider tne advisability of providing a home for thenueives. Inquiries are being made about a si.e, and it is proposed to locate the building in tne b isiuess part of the city, if eligible pro erty can lie secured, w. ere a good income can be relied on from the rente of tbe nail and stores. The temple now used by the fraternity is the property of Solomon’s Lodge, and is rented to the other masonic bodies. Many years ago, when the old lodge was much embarrassed by a debt incurred iu erecting the building, it agreed that in consideration of the brotherly assistance rendered to it by its junior lodges when its debts were paid suoo lodges should forever after have tbe use of the lodge room free of rent. Owing to extensive repairs and improve ments, wuich had to be made to tbe temple from time to time, the property is still en cumbered with debt, and the lodge* still pay rent. It appear* that the brethren have at last got tired of waiting for “tne day of Jubilee, when tue temple should be completed, and they would be greeted, if not as workmen most rare,” at least as workmen with noth ing to pay, a id have determined to build a temple for themselves. Tne action of the dissati fled lodges hag created quite a stir in M isoaic circles, and there is a probability that Solomon’s lodge will have to do so letning to rec mcilo the brethren, or it will lose its tenants.

Holmes delivered an illus trated and ery entertaining lecture at the Baptist church lari night, descriptive of a trip from Venice via London. New York and Niagara across the continent to the Pacific.

The reference made by the grand jury last night in its general presentment to the condition of that part of the Louisville road lying within the city limits was known to sir. Bourquin shortly after the grand jury was discharged, and he construes it i ito a strong indorsement of his efforts to put the road in repair. Mr. Bourquin said; “The grand jury’s action in tni connection Is ihe best ans - er that c uld i ave been framed to the action of the city council in sendi g back my letter on the flimsy excuse that it as not couched in respectful language. The grand jury has said tne condition of ;he r ad ’is a disgrace to any civilized . ommunity,’ aud yet the council, instead of sending me aid to put the road in repair so that it wili not be a ‘disgrace,’ returns my letter with t le infor mation that it as lacking in respect for that body. Well, it was certainly as choi e In is criticism as the language I employed.” “And what do you propose to do now?” Mr. Bourquin was asked. “I shall call out those citizens throughout the city who are liable to road duty. I have taken legal advice, and my position is unchanged. I shall serve notice on all the justice* of the city, who are ex-officio road commissioners, to summon out the citizens, and 1 shall more particularly, in furnish ing the notices, call attention to the lan guage of the grand jury as corroborative of my position that the roal has been neglected, and, the city remaining in de fault, and refusing to put the road In good condition, the peoplo must do the work themselves." DISCHARGED FOR THE TERM. Tbe Superior Court Grand Jury Com plimented by the Court. The grand jury of the superior court made its general presentment la9t night aud wa9 discharged for the term with the thanks of tbe court. Judge Falligant spoke in the most complimentary manner of the earnest and zealous work of the jurors, and lie added that the public will recognize, when it reals the general pre sentment, how faithfully the grand jury has discharged its duty. He also took occa sion to say That Cnatham county is to be congratulated on having such a grand jury and such traverse jurors as have served during the term, as the traverse juries sup ported the grand jury with groat fidelity and firmness in convicting those guilty of violating the laws of the state. The general presentment of the grand jury deals with all the departments of the county government, the roads, public, schools, public buildings and financial affairs having been thoroughly inspected and reported on iu detaiL Mr. D. R. Thomas, foreman, read the presentment, and the reading was listened to attentively. '1 he report is printed in full eisowhere. Its principal features are the criticisms upon the f*iod supply of one of the convict camps, and the unsanitary ar rangements of the cimp and its inadequate and objectionable supply of bedding; the condition of tiie roads was reported upon in detail, and especially that portion of the L u.sviile r ad lying within tiie city limits, which it reports “is a disgrace to a civilized community."

Flossie Ethyl’a Grsat Hit as the Child Lord. , Little Lord Fauntleroy was seen last night for the first time in Savannah. The audience was probably the largest that the thea re has ever hel 1 in Lent. Every seat in the parquet and dross circle was taken, and even tbe w indows were sold. The galleries were picked. Everyb dy wanted to sea the dramatization of Mrs. Burnett’s beauti ful story, and people were in the theater who were never seen there before, it is hardly too much to say that nobody was di<a u oirited. Litlle Flossie Ethyl played the part of the “Little Loi and,” and she received a perfect Ovation. Although only 9 years old, she is a perfect little actress. Bhe has been with the company nearly two years, aud has ex cited wonder wherever 8 ,e has neon. “Lord Fauntleroy” lias a good deal to do in tie play. The part is longer than that of “Hamlet,” ad Flossie is credi ed with ha ring learned it in ten nights. She Is the daughter of Ca adian parents, who travel with the c mpauy, and is a gracaful, beautiful child, with a rich, mus.cal voice. Besides Flossie, “L > and Fauntleroy” has a double in little Georgia Cos par, who is the smallest and youngest F untleroy that has ever played the part. She is oulv seven ye rs old, an 1 is a bead shorter than Flossie, to whom she is decidedly attached. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Cooper, her father playing the part of “Wilkins.” Mrs. Cooper travels with the company, but does not act. Lottie Georgie will ant ear at tho matinei to-day. The company as a whole is au excellent ono. Every part is well taken. Mr. Carl A. Has win as the old earl gave a splendid performance. Miss Rossinore and Mr. Boases deserve special praise. The entire cast, in fact, is made up of people who know how to aR, and who are "artists. Miss Annie Radclilfe, who plays the part of “Dearest,” is a graduate" of t ie" Boston Theater Stock Company, and is pretty, at tractive ami sympathe.ic. Bhe is a favorite everywhere. The company will give two performances to-day—a matinee and night performance. If to-day’s audiences are anything like last night’s, Emma Abbott will "have t > retire as the star attraction in Savannah. The company has been playing everywhere to just such audi ences, It is the same company which made so pronounced a hit at New Orleans in the early winter, and which has since successfully toured almost the entire s >uth. The tour of the company has been a re markable one in many respects. Iu opened last September with the longest jump in the annals of theatrical traveling—from New York to Seattle. Since then they have traversed about 15,090 miles, from Port Townsend, Wash, to San Diego, Cal , from Sail Francisco to Galveston, and from New Orleans to Atlanta, Macon, Jackson ville, and Savannah. The play has proven a gold mine to every body who has been interested in its produc tion. Two years ago Mrs. Burnett offered the play to several New York manager-, asking #2,500 for it. They refused, as they did not think it possible to find a child who could act the title role. Mr. French, who saw it in England, decided to take it and pay a royalty of 10 per cent, of the gross "re ceipts to the author. Its instantaneous succ ss will be remembered. The three companies now playing it must yield Mrs. Burnett an income of from #2,500 to #3,000 each week as her share. CITY BREVITIES. There are eight prisoners for the mayor’s court this morning.

Vice Consul Robertson Written to from Washington to Investigate tho Charge That Tutty la a Subject of Great Britain, and ie Locked Up Without Cause Solicitor General Fraser Explains the Case Satisfac torily to Queen Victoria’s P.epre eentatlves—Tutty’s Wife the Bottom of the Trouble. It has leaked out that the English gov ernment has been petitioned to take up the cudgel for Charles Tutty, but whether the acti n of the state and the United States courts in the case will turn cut to be a casus belli events will show. It developed yesterday that Rose Ward, the alleged wife of Tu'.ty, is in Washington, and has been before the British consol there with a most grievous tale of woe, in which she represented that her husband, a good an I loyal subject of her majesty Queen Victoria, is incarcerated in a Geor gia dungeon for no crime committed at all, and she has asked her Britannic majesty to interpose the great aegis of her protection, and take Tutty out of jail, or sow the streets of Savannah with salt if he is not promptly permitted to go at large. tutty’s wife's story. The woman represented that Tutty and herself were married in the national capital under the forms of law and tho drippings of the sanctuary, and after a lia-ipv bridal tour of the east returned to their Georgia home, nestled snugly in Liberty county, and ’ efore the sweetmeats of the wedding feast had disappeared, or the festoonery of tho boudoir had bezun to wither, her hus binil was pounced upon by the miuions of the law and locked up. The consul was so much impressed with the sad story of the w rongs of the guileless Rise tuat he instituted a i inquiry into the matter, doubtless with the design, if the ta!e proved true, of plucking a handful ot feathers from the cau lal appendage of the American eagie if Tuity was not immedi ately released. VICE CONSUL ROBERTSON WRITTEN TO. ViceCoisul Walter Ribertson has re ceived a letter instructing him to investi gate the matter, anil in accordance with his instructions he laid the letter before Solicitor General Fraser this we.k. Tne solicitor generd explained to Mr. Roberts n all the details in what is fast becoming a national case; that Tutty is not a prisoner, but is out on bond: that he is a white man, debarred under the laws of Georgia fr ,m intermarrying with a negro woman, and tnat he took Rose to Washington, a id after having been married there returned to Georgia. A grand jury of the superior court indicted them for for nication; they were arrested, gave bond for their appearance, failed to appear, the bond was estreated, and pending the convening of the court for the next May term, we .t into the United States circuit court and asked that the case be re manded to the latter court, but Judge Emory Speer refused to remove it, and re manded it back to the Liberty county superior court in a long decision affirming the constitutionality of the Georgia law. TO COME UP AT THE MAY TERM. The case will come up for hearing at the May term. Meantime Tutty is not iu jail, but is out on the Ogeechee road within tho extended city limits, where he has bean keeping a little shop, selling ginger cake and peanuts to the small boys, while Rose is a petiti mer at the branch office of the court of St. James in Washing ton. The personnel of the defendants, for both are u nder indictment, may be of interest, as they are fig iring in a notable case. Tutty lived in Liberty county ’for many years, where he was engaged in farming, aud suc cessfully so, us he accumulated some means, which, siuee his infatuation for Rose Ward, must have been constantly dimin ished in one way or another. tutty’s reputation. His reputation is that of an honest and industrious citizen, and until he outraged the public sentiment of the community by his marriage with the negro wo nan he eu joyed the respect of his neighbors. The claim that he is a subject of G.e it Britain is in the nature of a surprise to his old neighbors, us it unde st >ud that he never set up such a claim before, but on the con trary assumed the privileges and rights of an American citizen. He is over 50 years of age ani the years have silvered his hair. The woman, R >se Ward, is about 35 years of age, black as Erebus, shrewd and crafty, and was b >rn a slave, but reared as a domestic, she was brought in closer con tact with the white race, and from her earliest years held herself aloof from those of her own color.' BACK FROM WASHINGTON. Gen. Sorrel and Lieut. Carter Before the River and Harbor Committee. God, G. M. Sorrel returned from New York by rail yesterday afternoon. To a Morning News reporter he expressed the opinion that a much more liberal appropria tion for river and harbor improvements for the port of Savannah will be made by congress this year than was made last year. Referring to the errand which took hin to Washington, he said that Lieut. Carter and himself went before the river and harbor committee, and an audience of an hour and a half was accorded them. Lieut. Carter explained the plans and character of the work of improvements and the necessity of au appropriation more liber 1 in amount than those of past years. He was ques tioned fully oil the subjects, aud his answers were prompt and instructive. Gen. Sorrel says that every member of tho river and harbor committee was present except Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio, aud the committee, Gen. Sorrel says, listened most attentively to the arguments in the inter ests of shipping, and at tue close than ed the speakers for the information which, they took occasion to say, will be of value to them in making up tho appropriation bill. The presentation made by Gen. Sorrel was statistical in character, and dealt with the extent of the exportation aDd Importa tion of this port. It was somewhat of a surprise to the committee to learn that the regular steamship servi e of Savannah is thirty-four trips monthly. Among other things during his four days’ stay in Washington, Gen. Sorrel was im pressed by the zeal aud earnestness with which Congressman Lester is looking after the river an I harbor interests of this city, and he says that if the appropria tions should not be commensurate with the necessities ot the port it wili be through no fault of Col. Lester. THREE INDICTMENTS FOUND. The Grand Jury Turns In a Trio of True Bills.

To-day being a legal holiday, it is hardly thought possible to finish up the od is and ends of the December term of the superior court to-day, and a recess will probably be taken until Monday, on which day an ad journment for the term will be had.

Dahl & Cos. cleared yesterday the Norwegian bark Pi co for R.ttirdam, with 4,529 barrels of rosin, weighing 2,149,- 745 pounds, valued at $9,3 )0. The Norwegian bark Bertha was cleared ye terdav by Strachan & Cos. for Glasgow with 13,523 feet of oak timber, 43,343 fe t of hewn pitch pine timber, 40,030 feat of sawn pitch m ie lumber, 8 pieces of oak and cy press planks and 31,950 staves; the whole cargo valued at $4,642. Cargo by Messrs. James T. Stewart & Son. The second mate of the Norwegian bark Cato yesterday was knocked into the hold of the vessel and severely bruised and gashed in the be id. He was walking past the hatch just as a barrel of spirits turpentine was swung over the rail. It struck him with full force and he went headlong into the hold, but lauded on some pieces of planks which were stretched across between decks—a very fortunate thing for him, as otherwise he would ce taiuly have been killed. He wa3 taken up on deck, and a physician was sent to him. His forehead is fearfully cut, but his wounds are not dangerous. A BRIDE WITH A BLACK EYE. An Old Fort Wedding Followed by a Free Fight. The “Old Fort," in the vicinity of Ran dolph street, had a first-class sensation last night that brought all the colored contin gent out of doors, and frightened all the goats out of Magazine ward. The crowd dispersed when a policeman elbowed his way through it and came out with two colored ivaen in his custody, one of whom was bleeding from a slight knife wound, and the other from a blow received with a bottle in the battle. The one knifed was the bride of the day, Lizzie Hunter. Her antagonist, Alice Williams, a discarded rival, hearing how Lizzie had suppianted her, dropped around with blooi in her eve, the night after the wedding, and with the green-eyed monster jogging her at every step. W hen the groom heard of the misfortune winch had overtaken bis young wife he hustled around to get bond for her, and succeeded, to the joy of his better half, who, like Niobo, was all tears, ia a prison cell. The mayor will hear the case this morning. For home colic Mmmon* Liver Regulator Is known to be the best remedy. Suburban Lands. Editor Morning News: It is surprising that many people are unable to attach value to land situated so far from the city that actual budding upon it cannot be con templated in the near future. The remark is often heard, “Why, the city will not cover this territory in twenty years,” or “fifty years,” as the case may he. This may be true, but have such people consid ered tuat laud is worth something to hold as an investment? It is not necessary for the city to cover it, but only to approach it, to keep the prices moving upward. It is not probable that land north of Savannah river will be any higher in twenty years than it is now; the city is not going that way; but land soutu of the city suouid in crease in value iu proportion to its growth in that direction. When the city actually covers this land, of course they who have been able to hold long enough will realize enormous profits, but there is a big profit iu it before that time. Savannah must stop growing southward or laud in that direction must steadily increase iu value; and, if this increase is retarded by circum stances for a time, it will be only for a time, as a city may be like ;ed to a hive of bees—when it becomes too crowded, some of them must go. There are other people who want to speculate merely; they desire to buy a lot tor SIOO aud sell it in a week for SSOJ. Well, to ail sucu we must say that Savan nah is not that kind of a place, aud glad we are that it is not. Sucu a state of things, if it existed here, would not be healtuv. What sensible people want iu an investment is as much certainty as they enu gee, and certainty is what is offered to those who put their money in suburban lauds any wnere this side of Cuyier Swamp. To such as these we will say, Buy your land and lie down and take a Rip Vau Winkle sieep if you like, with absolute assurance that when you wake up you .ill find yourself greatly enricnod during your sie-ta.
