SCHOOLS FILLING UP.
THE ATTENDANCE NEARLY 600
GREATER THAN LAST YEAR.
The Number of Pupils In the City
Schools Last Week 11,522, an In
crease of 474 Over 1889—dome of
tbe Schools Overcrowded and Ad
ditional Teachers to be Asked For
The attendance at the publio schools has
steadily increased since the opening day,
aud up to Fridav there were 474 more
names enrolled than fer the same period of
1889.
The first and second week* showed exactly
the same gain over the first two weeks of
last season—l 63 pupils each —but the in
crease of last week was not as great, the
reports showing 143 more achjlars than the
third week last year, or fifteen less than the
two previous weeks.
Some of the grades are very much
crowded, and with the present number of
pupils enrolled, at least three more teachers
are required, and Supt. Baker will so recom
mend at the next meeting of the board of
education.
The following shows the attendance for
the first three weeks of 1890, as compared
with last year:
ISS9. 1800.

THE ORDER OF R3CBABITK3.
The High Tent to Meat In Savannah
Next Year.
The high tent of the Independent Order
of Recbabitee will meet in annual conven
tion in Savannah next July, and the local
lodges are already making arrangements
and raising funds to give the visiting dele
gates a royal welcome.
The order is rapidly growing in influence
and members in Savannah, and is one of the
most practical temperance organizations in
the country. The order was founded in
Salford, Manchester, England, on Aug. 25,
1835, and in America on Aug. 2, 1842, and is
the oldest total abstinence order in
the United States. Its objects are to Im
prove morals, promote brotherly love, re
lieve the distressed, and smooth the pillow
of the dying. It is non-sectarian in char
acter. No matter from what part of the
world a Kecbabite comes, if he is in distress
he bos au equal claim to the assistance and
protection of the brethren as if he resided
in the same town and were a member of the
same tent.
A novel feature of the order is that while
it is secret, women are allowed to become
members.
Savannah has at present two tents—Geor
gia tent, with seventy-one male members,
and Forest City, with fifty-four female
adherents. Next Wednesday evening W.
H. Barclay, 11. D. R. of North America,
will hold a preliminary meeting at Yonge’s
hall for the purpose of organizing another
tent of the order.
A BIQ DAMAGE SUIT.
W. W. Barrousrh Sues Dr. Oroth for
SIO,OOO Damages for Malpractice.
William W. Barrough has entered suit
against Dr. H. Henry Groth for SIO,OOO
damages for malpractice. The papers have
been tiled with the clerk of tho city court
by W. E. Morrison and T. 8. Morgan, Jr.,
attorneys for Barrough, and the trial will
take placo nt the November term. The
declaration alleges that Barrough was
seriously injured in the left side bv being
thrown from a Belt Line car while attempt
ing to disembark on Dec. 15, 1880, at the
corner of West Broad and Margaret streets,
and that Dr. Groth was called in to treat
him, and through negiig uce failed to dis
cover that three of plaintiff’s ribs were
broken, although be attended him for three
months.
The declaration further alleges that
through the negligence of Dr. Groth
Barrough has been incapacitated from
attending to his duties as a col
lector, and that he has also suffored excru
ciating pain. The plaintiff, therefore,
claims that he has been injured to the oxtont
of SIO,OOO, and prays the court to grant him
that amount.
THE CITY COURT JUDGESHIP.
A. H. MacDonell Developing Strength
in the Contest.
The friends of A. H. MacDonell, Esq.,
are working hard for him in his contest of
the city court judgeship. They are circulat
ing petitions of indorsement throughout
the city for the signatures of citizens, and
are said to be meeting with flattering suc
cess. Mr. MacDonell has received the in
dorsement of forty-seven out of the sixty
two members of the Savannah bar, and is
receiving letters every day from all parts of
Georgia promising him support in his
canvass. The Chatham and Thomas county
delegations are solid for him.
The question as to whom Mr. Northen
will appoint is a favorite subject with the
court house officials. The friends of Judge
Harden assert that he is certain to be re
apnoiuted and claim that he has the
indorsement of the leading attorneys of
the city, while on the other haml Mr. Mac-
Donell’s friends claim that his indorse
ment is too strong to admit of any other
appointment.
Death of Mrs. Ann Hall.
Mrs. Ann Hall, aged 75 years, an inmate
of the Abraham’s Home for the past twenty
five years, died Friday morning. Mrs.
Hall’s illness was of a long duration. At

prior to her death. Mrs. Hall leaves no

BATUBP--Y A BIG DAY.
It Is tha Financial Day of tbe Week
With Most People.
Saturday is the general pay day for all
day workers, wage hands and a large num
ber of employes of other elapses in Savan
nah, and, consequently, Saturday after
noon and Saturday night are lively times
in Savannah. The streets are filled with
hurrying crowds. The market is the liveli
est place in tbe city, and Is crowded from
early in the morning until 10 o'clock at
night with people laying in their Sunday’s
supplies.
The Ooean Steamship Company pays off
its army of hands Saturday, and during tbe
whole afternoon the. e is a crowd of any
where from 50 to 300 at the com;any’s
odice waiting to receive their week’s wages.
The cotton compresses pay off their em
ployee on Saturday, and nearly all tbe
latmrere on the wharves receive their pay
at the end of tbe week. Very respectable
amounts most of them draw, too. It can
safely be stated that nowhere eise iu the
state Is the laboring man so wed rec >m
pensed for his work as on the river front in
Savannah.
The up-country “darky” would open his
eves with astonishment at tbe w ages paid
his fellows, and would look upon tho weekly
wages made by a "header” as a princely
fortune. As fir the longshoreman there is
not a tetter paid class of men in the coun
try, nor a more independent clais either.
The employes of the strew railways can
be seen in gangs late of a Saturday after
noon mar ching tne offices of tbe companies
to receive their pay. Besides the large cor
porations almost all small enterprises have
adopted Saturday as a pay day and the
large class of white labor is usually paid off
on that day.
The banks are often inconvenienced to
supply the required amounts needed by em
ployers, especially ia change of small denom
inations, which is at a premium
on Saturday. In this way maDy thousands
of dollars are turned loose in the city on
Saturday, and it is safe to say a great por
tion changes hands from one to half a dozen
times before midnight. The corner grocer
ies do a big business, and tbe merchants
have a large trade in small
amounts. The working man, and by
tnis term is meant all classes of
employes, believes in supplying his nee Is
immediately, and there are many cracks
which It takes a dollar to chink. The ma
jority of employes have pocketbooks filled
with an empty void by the middle of the
week.
Savannah is a gay town, the people be
lieve in enjoying life, and money.does not go
a great ways with some people.
Saturday night is a groat institution day
and if every day was Saturday and the
next day Sunday what a world this
would be.
CITY BREVITIES.
The University Club held a meeting at
the Odd Fellow’s hall last night. An in
teresting paper upon naval stores was one
of the features of the meeting.
Only four arrests were reported at the
barraoks up to 1 o’clock this morning—all
for disorderly conduct. Three of the pris
oners were colored and one white.
The old McMahon warehouse at the cor
ner of Bay and Houston streets, which was
partty destroyed by Are at the beginning of
the summer is being rebuilt. It will be only
one story high.
There will be a Sunday school anniver
sary exercise at the Christian church, at
Bolton and Howard streets, to-night at 8
o’olock. Music and recitations bythechfl
dren of the Sunday school will be interest
ing features of the meeting.
The Charleston and Savannah railway
began the sale of tickets to Charleston for
the Gala w tek yesterday morning at the
1 cent a mile rate, $2 30 for the round trip.
Tickets are good until Nov. 4. A number
of Savannah people expect to go over dur
ing the week.
The Savannah Total Abstinence Guards
aro disposing of tickets for a lecture on the

Library hall Sunday night, Noy. 16. The
committee in charge of the arrangement is
composed of M. J. O’Leary, T. J. O’Brien,
M. J. Barrett, W. J. Flood and J. M. Mo-
Bride.
A couple of young bloods raised a racket
at Simon Gazan's oigar store, at the corner
of Bull and Broughton streets, yesterday
afternoon and created a sensation by mak
ing an attuck upon the proprietor. One of
the youngsters was taken in by a police
mau and charged with obstructing the
sidewalk and resisting an officer, and his
friends bonded him out.
The work of laying the underground wire
on the Belt Line traok was completed from
East Broad down Bay street past the corner
of Lincoln street yesterday. The work
now being pushed on the line interferes
greatly with the transit Of the Belt Line
ears, but the public can afford to bear with
them now, with the prospect of such an
advantageous change in the near future.

T3S CITV’3 FOOD SUPPLY.
Inspector Deevergera Says There ia
But One Clean Stall In the Market
Inspector Desvei-gers of the Citizens’
Sanitary Association, in hia report of ln
specti ns of food produce for the week
ending last night, savs that dressed meats
of ail kinds averaged excellent in quality,
i irersed aud live poultry, game, corned and
pic*led meats, pig*’ feet and tripe averaged
good; also, oyster*, clams, crabe and shrimp.
Kish averaged fair. Green vegetable* and
green frui.s inferior; dried vegetable good.
Ihe inspector reports that the cleric of
the market is making strenuous efforts to
maintain cleanly conditions about the mar
ket house, and that the city market inspec
tor keeps a close watch upon produce now
exposed in it, but that any one will con
vince himself of tbe futility of these efforts
toward securing sanitary conditions by
a careful Inspection of the moat
benches after the clerk and bis force have
expended their best efforts between market
hours in washing, scrubbing and scraping
them. There is but one thoroughly clean
butcher stall in the market hou*e, and that
is tbe one which bas a marble table behind
it; and likewise but one thoroughly clean
fish stall, aud that with a similar table be
hind it. Others of wooden boards, with
wide, gaping seams and hacked cavities, are
filled with unsav. ry matter.
The inspector reports in refer once to
drainage that the recent heavy rainfall
agaiu demonstrated the inadequacy of the
city drains. Tha low lands east, south
and west of the city are covered with
storm water. He says that the capacity of
the oity drains is diminished by the con
stant treadiug of the soil back into them
by cattle pa tured upon the land by the
tenants and lesas of the municipality,
and as long as this exists the inhabitants of
Savannah may expect to suffer the conse
quences of malarial surroundings.

Tho Destruction of Roma
“The Greatest Show on Earth” will

There is not muen, that can be said in ad

attractions, of course, L tbe spectacle
“Nero or the Destruction of Rome.” Its
addition has so increas 'd toe size of the
Great Show, t.-iat no building iu America
can begin to accommodate it, and a great
deal t igger tent than those heretofore used
is required: one which is a colossal wonder,
both in size and scenic, seating, arenic and
mechanical arrangement*. With its ac
cessories, it represents an actual cost
of over $30,000, and is arranged
to c mfortably seat 30,000 peo
ple daily. Of “!fcero,” in whose presen
tation some 1.200 Roman characters, wild
beasts a id horses. $75,000 worth of scenery
and $200,000 worth of costumes, trappings,

"The scenery is on the grandest possible
scale, affording an excellent idea of the ap
pearance of the walls, streets, temples and
other places of inierest in the grand old

scenic effect s in some of the other tableaux
create wonder as to how they are accom
plished.” Many notable additions have
also been made to tbe splendors and sensa
tions of the free street parade.
