in the Republican Camp— How CoL
A. K. Buck Climbed Down the Tree
When the Wind Began to Blow Too
High— The New Appointee Out of
Town When the News Came.
President Harrison appointed Joseph F.
Doyle postmaster of Savannah yesterday.
This was predicted by the Morning News
on tbe occasion of CoL A. E. Buck’s visit to
this city last week, and is the outcome of
a general conference among the republican
leaders here, white and colored.
Originally the oendidates were Mr. David
Porter, now deputy collector of customs;
K. E. Cobh, at one time superintendent of
the Coast Lane street railway, and, for the
season of 1889, superintendent of the Tybee
railroad. A. E. Bholes was talked of, as
was CoL G. L Taggart, but tbe race nar
rowed down until it was tnougbt that Mr.
Porter would surely obtain the appoint
ment.
PORTER CRIPPLED IN THE RACE,
W hen T. F. Johnson was appointed col
lector of customs and associated Mr. Porter
with him as deputy collector, the wiser
friends of Mr. Porter at once saw that it
would cripple him in his oandldaoy for the
post ffice. This did not strengthen Mr.
Cobb’s candidacy, as Mr. Porter still bad
tbe indorsement of the republican organiza
tion of the oounty and the First congres-
siona! dutnot.
The defeat of Capt. M. J. Doyle for col
lector of customs led to the realignment of
the party. The friends of CapL Doyle felt
that ho had not been fitly recognized, and
began the work of changing the personnel
of their organisation. The plan was con
ceived of nominating Capt. M. J. Doyle for
congress, and after withdrawing the in
dorsements for Mr. Porter to transfer them
to Joseph F. Doyle for postmaster. The
shrewdest politicians in the party under
took the work of carrying out this pro
gramme.
WILSON THE PIONEER.
Col. A. N. Wilson came down from At
lanta and began the work on Mr. Porter’s
iutrenchments, which by the time the re
publican congressional convention met at
Wayoross bad been pretty thoroughly bom
barded.
Tne first breaoh in the walls was made
when the republican county convention
took the oounty organization out of the
hands of U M. Pleasants, and followed it
by passing a resolution indorsing Joseph F.
Doyle for postmaster. At Waycross the elder
Doyle was nominated for congress,
another gaping breach in Mr. Porter's line
of defenses, and lost week CoL Puck came
down from Atlanta with articles of capitu
lation and Mr. Porter’s backers surrendered
unconditionally, while their chief was off
on the revenue cutter angling for black fish,
and his youthful opponent was fishing on
there for the poetoffice.
COL. DEVEAUX AN ALLY.
Col. Buck’s visit was followed by a visit
lait Sunday from Collector Deveaux. The
latter finished up the work inaugurated by
Wilson, with James Mcßride as his lieuten
ant, who, on the departure of W ilson for
borne, became geueralissimo. Ic was his
fine Italian hand that planned tie cam
paign, made Whiteman chairman of the
county oommittee, and a sat an aim' st solid
delegation from the district to Waycross
for the elder Doyle. Having routed the
enemy, Buck, who was in tho background,
came to the front to make peace
between the factions and to persuade the
anti-Doyleites to consent to Joseph K. Doyle’s
appointment. Collector Johnson, true to,
his deputy, Mr. Porter, was tho last to spike
bis guns. He saw the futility of further ag
gressiveness. Dow, Pleasants and Morse had
fone to W aycross to side-track Doyle, but
leasants having lieen re-elected chairman
of the congressional committee, and seeing
the lay of the land, hastened to second the
nomination of Doyle.
OFF TO WASHINGTON WITH BUCK.
Meantime the republican county conven
tion having indorsed Joseph F. Doyle for
postmaster, his father went on to Washing
ton, where he met Col. Buck, and the ap
plication of Joseph F. Doyle for postmas
ter was duly lodged with the postoffleo de
partment. Later, the son went on, and be
met Buck there, and supplemented the work
of the elder Doyle. Buck was not
a volunteer. He saw the Doyle fac
tion uppermost in th* district. It
meant division in the next republican
delegation to the national convention,
with Buck possibly left off the delegation
as Johusou, Atkins and Pleasants had been
left off on formar occasions, and Capt.
Doyle as the next chairman of tho repub
lican slate committee. Confronted with
this danger Mr. Porter was sacrificed, his
friends alienated, and the sou of Capt. Doyle
promoted.
The new appointee was not in the city Inst
night, having gone out to Thunderbolt, six
miles distant, to spend the night with the
family. A Mornino News reporter
dropped in at republican headquarters at 10
o’clock last night to inquire for the coming
postmaster, and when tho twenty or twenty
five colored republicans who were prosent,
learned that their candidate had been ap
pointed they gave three lusty cheers.
THE NEW POSTMASTER.
Ji'seph F. Doyle, the new appointee, is a
native of Savannah, and in his 29th year.
At the age of lb ho graduated from Chat
ham Academy high school, since which
time he has been the bookkeeper and oash
ier in his father's store on St. Julian street
in this city. He has never taken any very
active part in politics, but has voted the
republican ticket.
SOUTH BOUND CONSTRUCTION.
Tracklaying in Progress— Rains Delay
ing the Work.
There was nothing but routino business
transacted at the weekly meeting of the
Savannah Construction Company, held yes

The contractor has been considerably de
layed in his work by the continued raius,
but the first division of the South Bound
railroad will, nevertheless, lie completed

Two thousand tons of stool rails are
expected to arrive next week aud will be

perature for tho day was (J 8“, the minimum
61®, and the mean, 64°, was 8° below nor

NKW QUARANTINE STATION.
It is to be Turned Over to the City
Within Three Wests.
Mayor Schwarz, Clerk of Council Ke
barer, City Engineer Winn and tne healtn
and cemetery committee of council, con
sisting of Dr. R. B. Harris chairman. Dr.
L. A. Falligaut and William f. Reid went
down to the quarantine station yesterday
morning on a visit of inspection, and to
obtain a general idea of tbe progress of the
work. They returned to the city in tbe
afternoon delighted with their trip and
thoroughly satisfied that Savannah will
soon have tbe best quarantine station of
tbe South Atlantic coast.
Dr. Harris says the work at the new
quarantine station 1* rapidly nearing com
pletion and in two or three weeks the sta
tion will be ready to turn over to the city.
The apparatus for discharging ballast
is all io position and working nicely. A
double drum cylinder eugine supplies the
power and permits the unloading of two
vessels at one time. With the now appli
ances a 400-ton ve-eel can be unloaded in
twenty-four hours, whereas it has fre
quently taken from a week to ten days
heretofore.
Vessel are now unloading at the wharves
without interruption. In fact, the new quar
antine station is just about completed, and
tbe repairs to the old quarantine are nearly
completed, some worn remaining to be done
npou tbe wharves. The old quarantine sta
tion has been rebuilt entirely, and work is
now going on upon the last tramway.
Everything is very satisfactorily built at
the quarantine station. Tbe residence of
quarantine officer is very solidly built of
the best material, and nothing short of a
cyclone is expected to move it. It Is already
complete with tbe exouption of a little paint
ing.
lhe new wharves are built In the most
solid manner, and could hardly be stronger.
Dr. Harris, in referring to a recent unlook
ed-for test of their strength, said that while
the Norwegian bark Thoe. 8. Falok was
unloading ballast at the wharf she became
overbalanced and fell over broadside upon
one of the piers. Bg moans of tackle she
was hoisted up, when she fell again upon the
pier. The heavy collision did no damage
whatever to tbe wharf, and hardly moved
it out of plumb.
Tbe grounds at quarantine are beautifully
laid off and present a handsomo appear
ance.
Tbe new quarantine station is all that
oould be desired, so Dr. Harris says, and he
Is very enthusiastic over It. “It is the finest
quarantine station on tbe South Atlantic
coast,” said the doctor. “It is as good as
New York’s. 8o far as facilities are con
cerned, there will be nothing equal to it on
the Atiautic coast"
Five vessels can now unload rapidly at
one time, three at tho old station and two at
the new, and much valuable time will be
saved by this means. When the new sta
tion is ready to be turned over to tbe city,
which will be in aliout three weeks. Dr.
Harris will invite the board of sanitary
commissioners to go down with him to in
spect the station.
Y. M. O. A. RECEPTION.
The Gymnasium Hall Thronged Last
Night.
The gymnasium exhibition given last
night by the association was a suouess. This
is the second of a series to be given this fall
and winter. Fully 400 people gathered in
the gymnasium to eeo the youug men go
through class work uudor the direction of
Mr. H, T. Moore, the association being at
present without an instructor.
The dumb boll drill by a class of about
twenty men was on the programme,
which was quite interesting. This was fol
lowed by exercises on tbe paraded bars.
The gymuasium is being used by the
young men extensively and is greatly ap
preciated by them. The membership is
increasing rapidly and it is the hope of the
director to increase the membership to
500 young men. New apparatus is being
added from time to time, whioh makes tho
gymnasium one of the most complete in the
south.
Many young men are not aware of the
many privileges being offered by the asso
ciation and many others think the members
are compelled to enter oiass work, an i that
the gymnasium can only bo used during
class hours. The gymnasium is open from
8:80 a. m. to 10. p. in. so that one cau choose
his own tune for exercising. Parents are
invited to inspect the building and to visit
the classes of boys or young men.
Tho gymuasium committee is planning for
a field day, to bo given Thursday, Nov. 27,
Thanksgiving nfternoon. Tne membership
committee hope to have out a small pam
phlet in a few weeks giving a list of the
privileges offered to the youug men.

THIEVING TRAMPS.
One of the Gentry Made a Descent on
a Clergyman's Library.
Tramps are becoming numerous In this
city, and some of them are very daring.
houses have been entered in Robarts
ville in broad daylight and articles stolen
from the hall racks.
A few days sinoe one of these gentry en
tered the front door of the residence of Rev.
P. H. McMahon, which had been left open
for a few momenta, and carried off a very
valuable olothes brush, which he found
lying on the library table.
The housekeeper discovered the man leav
ing the library and accosted him as to his
business. He replied that he wished
to see Father McMahon, and was told that
the revorsnd gentleman was busy. As he
was about to depart from the house the
housekeeper noticed the bulky appearance
of his coat pocket and inquirer! what it con
tained. The tramp, who appeared to bo
under the influence of liquor, answered:
“Only aolothes brush and bottle of whisky.”
After giving him a severe lecture on the
evils of intemperance the good woman
allowed the man to go. Shortly afterward
the loss was discovered, but it was too late
to do anything, as the fellow had a good
start. The stolen article was prized by
Father McMahon, as It was a present from
a friend.

THEATRICAL MATTERS.
Gondoliers To-night—The Fairies’ Well
Company Coming.
The Gondoliers Company, with its two
carloads of special scenery used in the
superb production of the great comic opera,
“The Gondoliers,” will arrive this morning,
aud will be the attraction at the theater to
night and to-morrow night There are fifty
two people In the production of “The Gon
doliers,” and they also carry their own
orohestra.
The “Fairies’ Well,” which W. H. Powers’
company Is performing in all the larger
cities with great sucoess is to be seen at the
Theater next Monday and Tuesday night
It is a piece cleverly conceived, founded ou
an Irish Hallowe’en legend, that if a maiden
looks in the depths of the fairies’ well, near
Killarney lakes, she will see the reflection
of the face of her future husband. On this
foundation is constructed a beautiful love
story, lutroduolug enough sensational fea
tures aud mystery to make it
interesting. The father of the he
roine, dying In a foreign laud, gives to John
Kelly, a friend, bi 9 money to bear to the
daughter, to be used to pay off a mortgage
on the old place at home. Kelly falU In
with Carmody, holder of the mortgage,
who directs the messenger to pursne a cer
tain path. Kelly is saved from drowning,
planned by Carmody, by an Irish lad,
Larry. Kelly disappears, but returns in
time to make all end well. The scenery is
appropriate and beautiful, and the stage
pioturos’preseuted are charming representa
tions of life In Ireland.
“Lights and Shadows” was tbe play at
the theater last night, and It proved to be a
very acceptable one. Avery fair audience
was present and apparently got a good doal
of enjoyment out of the performance. The
scenery was a feature of the entertainment.

typical of Florida’s verdure and romantic

One of the prettiest of the seven stanzas

Palm, palmetto, lime and cypress, and the

Live oaks draped with miat-like mosses grace

Fruits whose life is tropio sunshine, flowers

And when stars shine on my waters there is

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection.
Persons whoso blood Is thin, digestion weak
and liver sluggish, are extra liable to theat
taoks of malarial disease. The most trifling
exposure may, under such circumstances, infect
a system whioii, if healthy, would resist the
miasmatic taint. The only way to secure im
munity from malaria in localities where it is
prevalent. Is to tone and regulate the system
by improving weakened digestion, enriching the
blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to the
billiary secretion. Thes > results are accom
llshed by nothing so effectively as Hostetlers
.Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
proved to be the most reliable safeguard against
fever and ague and kindred disorders, as well as
the best remedy for them. The Hitters are

The Heavy Rains Telling on the Over
ride Grain.
The recent heavy rain* have caused the
rice planter* to look very blue, and they
now take a most gloomy view of their pros
pects. They had already come to the con
clusion that their losses would be heavy be
fore the last rainy spell begun, and now
sinoe the falling of several additional inches
of rain in the past week they are despondent
indeed.
A rice planter who at the opening of the
season said that he calculated to clear $lB,-
000 on this season’s harvest, now informed
a buyer that he will be satisfied now if he
makes expenses.
Said the merchant: "We are all at sea as
to the amount of loss, but one thing is
certain, and that is, that the damage to the
rice crop from the continued rains is very
heavy. It is impossible to place any
estimate upon the amount .of
loss until the planters have
an opportunity to shift the stacks in the
field and thresn some of the damaged rioe.
Hough rice does not show the and
not until the rice is placed upon the market
can the percentage of loss be estimated.
“It is worthy of note that all the noo
that has been marketed here so far is of re
markably fine quality, averaging from
strictly good to prime, and very little of
the lower grades has appeared. The rice
markoted so fir Is of the very best quality.”
Referring to the character of the damage
the merchant said: "The loss will be more
in the depreciation of the quality of the
rioe than in the quantity. Tlie rioe in the
stacks is almost certain to rnowburn, to
s >me extent at least. Something more than
half the crop has been harvested, and
that which bas been left standing is
rapidly becoming overripe, which will
greatly injure the quality. The late rice
is now ripe for cutting and will become
overripe if allowed t-> stand. The receut
cool weather will have some good effect in
preventing rice from mowburu in the
stack.
“If we have a few days of dry weather
now the planters will be able to dry out
their stacks, thresh the rice, and put on the
market, and in a week’s time a fair esti
mate of the losses oau be made.”
At the opening of the season the prospects
of the rice crop were very fine, both as to
quantity and quality, and a crop of
050,000 to 675,000 bushel* was confidently
predicted. Rains began soon after the
opening of the harvest and have continued
almost ever since, dissipating the planters’
bright prospects. The reports of damage
to the orop has caused the prices of rice to
hold firm and there has been a slight ad
vance recently.
Reports from Carolina say that the dam
age to the rice crop there has been very
great. The Louisiana rice orop was re
ported to be of the very bost, both in yield
and quality, but that section has experi
ence some bad weather recently, which
may effect the orop considerably.
Rock Hitt, 8. C., March 24, 1890.
Dr. J. IS. Johnson, Rock Hill, S. C.:
Dear Sib—l have been almost a life-long
sufferer from hereditary asthma, and after
trying all known remedies from the patent
medicine catalogue, and a great many
physicians, I had almost given up when you
recommended the Microbe Killer, last De
cember, and I have not had a paroxysm
since. Would’t take f 100 for the good it
has done me. Yours truly,
