by a resolution offe ei by |
Alderman Cann giving Mulligan until
yesteruay to provide himself with proper
tools to carry t:.e contract to a success,*ui
termination. Mulligan di.l not provide
himself w ith the t ols, and last night tbe

tion of the water conmi.t’e re. lution.

The sureties will now have to finish the
contract, and it Is unde. to and taut tr.e .* are
already maxing arrangements witu a con
tractor to take hold of tne mutter and com
plete the wort.

which ti.ey claimed a den on the arto-iau
weli and 'lands of the water work, for
11,1187 worth of tool-, wi.ich it bad fur
nished Mulligan to carry on bis work, and

A RIGHT or WAT AT LAST.

cil that they have secured the right of way
for tbe iiav street road through tbe lands
of W. L. lixley, from the western line of
Exley’s lands to tie western corporate

and lane committee, with power to act.
The South Lake and Germantown Rail
way Company withdrew its letter objecting
to tbe rou’e fixsd by the special committee
on railroad*. The letter was read at tbe
meeting of council on Sept 3.
Hon. P. IV. Meidrira, a* a citizen and a
taxpayer, protested against the council
giving rights of way through squares to
street railroads. He said that the squares
should be ke{ t intact for tbe purpose of
beautifying tbe City; and that roads should
be compelled to go around them as in New
York, where they are not allowed to go
through Union or" Madison squares. He cited
the fact that the Enterprise railroad had to
agree to follow tbe curb around Johnson
square and did not see why all roads should
Dot be compelled to do the same in regard
to the other squares.

The ordinance compelling owners of poles,
telegraph, telephone, etc., erected in the

dered paid.
AFTER THE CELEBRATION.
Everybody Satisfied That it Was a
Big Thing.
Everybody in Savannah yesterday seamed
to agree that tbe torchlight procession of
Tuesday night was a fitting finale to the
great democratic victory of the past week.
The amusing transparencies carriod in
the prooesaion were the talk of the dav.
The motto “Down went McKinley”
seems to have struck the musical choid
of the juvenile population, aud the small
b y began singing the refrain yesterday on
the streets to the air of “McGinty.” The
way tbe small boy has put it is “One Tues
day morning, just at nine. Bill McKinley
dressed so fine,” etc.
After the parade Tuesday night the Owl
Club, accompanied by Its guests, Zouck’s
Butcher Boys, ware entertained at
the headquarters of tho Owls, at Somers &
Fitzpatricks.
The decorations on several places were
leftin place all day yesterday, and la-t
night many of the squares were ablaze with
boufires, the young democrats being so full
of enthusiasm that they would be willing to
celebrate for a week.
The Morning News was in error yester
day in crediting the “Slaughterers” to tbe
Ceotrsil railroad. It was a club gotten up
by M. J. Egan and R. E. L, Miller.

INDICTMENT 1 AGAINST NORTON.
Effingham's Grand Jury Takes Up the
Bird Killing—Liberty’s Court.
Judge Falligant and Solicitor General
Fraser returned from Effingham court
night before last. There was a very small
amount of business before the court.
The grand jury found two indictments,
one in each case, against R. S. Norton, Jr.,
for the killing of the Bird boys in July.
Norton’s whereabouts are unknown.
Judge Falligant, Bulicitor Frasor and sev
eral members of the Savannah bar leave for
Liberty court at Ilinesville Monday, and
will probably be absent during the whole
week, There aro several murder cases to
be tried at thi3 term of Liberty court, and
convictions are very probable in most of
them.
The man who killed “King Solomon” in
jail is to be tried, and Mr. Fraser sent an
order yesterday for the only witness of tbe
killing, a negro to he brought from the
penitentiary, where he is serving a five
years, sentence.
One of the most important cases to come
before the court is that -if Tutty and his
negro wife, over which there will probably
be a lively legal battle. Messrs. Jordon and
Hewlett of Washington City. Tutty’*
lawyers, are in tbe city looking after soma
property of Tutty’* wife, of wbich they de
sire to secure possession. Hewlett is a colored
man. A young lawyer remarked yesterday
afternoon, “Well, I have just held my first
conference with a colored lawver. ■’
Tho Tutty case has already been v eil
aired ia the newspapers of this section. It
is a most important one and presents quite
an array of legal points, involving, as it
does, tha validity of a marriage c insum
mated in the District of Columbia contrary
to the laws of Georgia. Bristly the case is
this: The laws of the District of Columbia
permitted the marriage of a white uiau to
a c ilored woman. The laws of the state of
Georgia forbid them living together as
man and wife.
There is no doubt as to the opinion of the
people of this section upon the emotion,
but the point is, is a marriage valid in the
District of Columbia invalid in Georgia if
contrary to the law* of this state?
CONDUCTORS WITH GRIEVANCES
Tbe Central's Men Not Satisfied With
the Way jthtnga Are.
The Ceutral railroad conduct -rs appear
to be very much dissatisfied with the re
fusal of General Manager Gabba tt to make
a contract with them, judging
from appearances and tho rumors
that are going the rounds. The
conductors’ committee which was
present from the different lines of the sys
tem, and had been in Savannah for several
days, did not return homo immediately af
ter the conference with Mr. Gabbett, but
remained here and cnucussod upon the mat
ter some fame. What decision they arrived
at is not known, hut it is believed they have
concluded upou decisive action.
When Mr. Gabbett and Mr. Starr left for
Augusta Tuesday morning, they believed
this and other matters between the road
and its employes to be settled.
The chief grievances of the conductors is
the refusal of the management to increase
their pay as desired. It is undei-stood
that the engineers, who are somewhat dis
gruntled themselves, are baokiug the con
ductors in the move.

MUST VERIFY THE BILL.
The Fight Over tbe Epatein & Wann
bscher Assignment.
Argument was heard before Judge Falli
gant yesterday on the motion by the cred
itors ot Epstein & Wannbucher to set aside
the bill of assignment filed by the firm and
to substitute the bill filed by the creditors,
the grounds for the petition being that the
first assignment was fraudulent uud lUe.-a 1 .
Quite an urruy of legal counsel was pres
ent representing tho creditors. Judge A.
P. Adams, S. B. Adams, Esq., and Col.
William Garrard argued the case for the
defendants. <
Judge Falligant decreed that it was
necessary for the bill of the creditors to bo
verified, and dissolved the restraining order
granted some time since against the pay
ment of certain debts and accounts.
This practically leaves the case where it
was when it was begun. Tho counsel for
tbe creditors will have their bill verified
and unite to fight the bill filed bv the firm.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1890.
I GEN. ALSXiNDIP. BAY3 NO.
| The Central Has Not Bought the Chat
tanooga, Home and Columbus.
The report that the Chattanooga, R:me
and Columbu* railroad has been purchased
jbj the ( leorgi i Centra! railroad and
; Plant system, and that Chattanooga would
• be made ti e northern terminus of the Cse
j tral. is denied by President Alexander.
T i a Morning News reporter who called
| upon him yesterdav.Geu. Alexander a.d,
“It is only the same old rumor reriv-d.
j Tuo-e is nothing m it.”
President Alexander sirs the Centra! is
moving quietly ahead and not making any
new deals now.
P.-esiient Wiliiamsou of the Chxttan ga.
j R -m-’ and Columbus railroad, r.as aiso de
nied the report. It has ieren reported so
often that tin* road ha* b-.-n soli that it
soem„ no confidence can be placed iu any of
the repo-iv 1 1 that effect.
The Chattanooga Ti net, where the last
rep >rt originate (, prints an account of the
deal which Gen. Alexander home;
has been made. It says: “Nego
tiations having this in view
have been pending for tome time, and has
been often refer ei t-> in the Time*, t*t it
was not until a few dvs stare that tue mat
ter was definitely settled. It is said that
tbe Georgia Central, if not fine icisfiy inter
ested in tho eon ;rruction of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbu-, was at least very
Lie : lly to the euterDrise. The gobbling of
the Western an i Atlantic by the Louisville
and Nashville, a gr-at competitor of the
Gergla Central, mails it necessary that
tbe Central ranch the most important rail
road center in the south (wbich is Chatta
nooga! over a line that would not put them
at the mercy of a competitor. Tha Chatta
nooga, R me and Columbus was th* key to
the situation. It was “taken i-,” audit is
said that the promoters t the Chatta
nooga, Rome and Columbu* made a neat
sum on the tr .nssetion. The Chattanooga.
Roms and Columbus is to be extended
to make a now connection with the
varii.us braooh-s of the Georgia Central.
By reason of this consolidation Chatta
noogpagott more directly tiie benefit of tha
New York and Savnn ah steamers, which
are a part of the P aut system. Mr. J. D.
Williams >n, it is said, will retain his
identity with the road, having charge of
the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
division as general manager. It is thought
more than probable that the Nor
folk and Western ia somewhat in
terested iu the transaction: that the Nor
folk and Western through the Knoxville
Southern soon expect* to have a line into
Chattanooga from Bristol, and via the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus and
Georgia Central they will secure an outlet
through the south. It is well known that
now that the East Tennessee ha; charge of
the Queen aud Crescent that the bulk ot its
eastern business will be sent via Cincinnati
and its allies, the Big Four aud the New
York Central, iostead of via Bristol and the
Norfolk and Western and Pennsylvania sys
tem as heretofore. ”

The steamship Pocahontas arrived here
yesterday from Baltimore and will load
cotton for the continent. She belongs to
the same lino as the Pocassett which is now
in port loading cotton. Tney are two as
fine tramp steamers as ever came into this
port and are owned in America, but by the
workings of the protection laws they have
to be sailed under a British register and
flag.
The steamship Dessoug, which sailed for
Philadelphia last Friday and arrived there
on Monday, reported that at 9:10 a. in. on
Sunday, while 10 miles north northeast of
Winter Quarter lightship, during a dense
fog, she collided with the schooner John
Pierce, from New York, bound for Virginia.
The schooner struck the steamer on tbe
sturboord quartor and carried away thirty
feet of the steamer’* bulwarks. The
schooner apparently sustained no damage.

snake over five feet long near his house iu
Bryan county, Monday. Mr. Appleton

the third big rattlesnake that has been
killed arou .and Savannah within three weeks,
tbe one at or near Mo.iteith, the one t.iat'
killed Mr. McAlpiuM dog, which Mr. West
cott killed, and this one, and, as I have
rambled over this country for a good many
years and never heard of such a snake
record as this, I thought I would mention

Morning News remember rattlers out so
late as this, or remomlver three such large
snakes being killed within three weeks l ight
in the shooting season?”

The Pennsylvania railroad shops at Al
toona, Pa., cover 307,3!4 square foet and
employ 3,060 men. It requires 1,760 men to
man the shoos, Tbe new Juniata locomo
tive shops have a floor area of 118,035 square
feet, and all told the shops cover 19.7 acres
of ground. In the eastern system of shops
15.990 men are employe i; in the western
0,017, a total of 21,807. There are 7,671 en
gineers and firemen to ruu 2,904 locomo
tive*, a power sufficient to move 13,000,000
tons. The passenger equipment shows
2,750 cars, weighing 7,300 tons, and
seating 115,776 persons. There
are 105,513 box, stock and
gondola cars, carrying 1,600,058 tons. If
the rolling stock was placed in ono train its
length would be 725 mile*. It would require
four tracks between London and Liverpool
upon which to stand the roiling stock. The
locomotive mileage was equal to nine, the
passenger car mileage to thirteen and the
freight car mileage to 170 trips around tho
world each day. There ore needed every
year 250 new locomotives t i m-et the de
mands of tho service. The freight edrs have
a capacity to move 600 acres of ooal, four
feet thick, at one time.
The meeting of tho directory of the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad held in New
York a few days ago, •■* as an important one.
Samuel Hunt was made president, Charles
Schiff was re-elected first vice president,
Heury Fink second vice president and H.
H. ’datem secretary and treasurer. All
there officials were elected the dav before to
similar positions with the Cincinnati, New
Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway Com
pany. It is said that Henry Fink, the sec
ond vice president, will be
given the general management
of the Qneen and Crescent route,
ns he is now general manager of the East
Tennessee system, and it is believed that he
will also have charge of the Cincinnati,
Now Orleans and Texas Pacific or Alabama
Great Southern. Charles Schiff. as first
vice president will devote himself exclu
sively to the management of the financial
department of the Cincinnati. News Orleans
and Texas Pacific, Alabama Great South
ern and al*o of the East Teunessee, Virginia
and Georgia companies. C. H. Hudson, tho
general manager of the East Tennessee, will
have also the general management
of the Queen and Crescent. The gen
eral passenger agent will - bo Col.
B. W. Wrenn and D. G. Edwards, who is
now general passenger aud ticket agent,
will be assistant under Col. Wrenn and
have charge of the Queen and Crescent
division. The headquarters of this vast
system will probably be at Chattanooga,
and the new officers will enter upon their
duties in a few days. The Queen and Cres
cent will eimplv be operated as other divis
ions of tho East Tennessee system, and
there will be few, if any, changes of em
ployes.
PERSONATED HER BROTHER.
How Clittie Heath Made Love to Clay
ton’s Sweetheart.
The life stories of Clayton Heath and his
twin sister, Clittie, surpass anything related
in fiction, and have been the cause of sev
eral remarkable incidents, says the Boston
Globe. But let Mis* Clayton tell the
Btory:
“Our names are Clittie and Clayton
Heath. We were born iu 1858 in Louis
ville, Ky. Our father at that time was
connected with a large match factory.
Until the age of 4 it was impossible for any
of our family to pick out the boy from the
girl, and so often was I taken for the boy
that at the age of 4 my mother was com
pelled to put boy’s clothes ou my brother
Clatie, in order to protect me from getting
a sound thrashing from a boy in a back
street, as my brother was full of oassed
ness.
“He was also very fond of raw eggs, and
on one occasion when caught taking them
he declared it was I who had done it. The
result wus a punishment from my father,
and the lovely name of ‘Sucking Eggs’ by
my sister, who was two years older. Al
though only a child, I would not dress my
self until father and mother both promised
thej'would not allow Clatie to wear the
same clothes as myself, and, to make mat
ters decided, I insisted on mothar cutting
his hair, to which she decidedly
as hi.* hair was very long aud like that of
many southern children, blonde and curled.
"My brother in breeches and I in dresses
did splendidly for a week or so, but, as he
was so like me, it ouly required a wrap on a
stormy day to completely hide those little
pants. So I was in for a sound scolding
every rainy day. When we had a week of
wet weather, and mother was obliged to go
shopping, and sister was at school, we were
left at homo with the girl—a black auntie,
who allowed us to do anything we liked.
For amusement, brother and 1 ouce went
into the dressing-room, took long
strings and tied ali the movable furniture
together, aud made wagons for moving.
Tne only thing remaining was a large hat
rack that stood in the iialL Clatie suggested
that we move it. I said it was too big. Bat,
like all boys, he thought himself a man, and
so he moved it, at least tried to, when over
came the rack, mirror, marble slab and
fancy top, broken into a thousand pieces.
“Clatie and I ran up stairs in great fright,
hiding behind the machine in mother’s sew
ing room. We huddled up like little
chickens. I saw lying on the floor mother’s
shears, and thinking it could not be laid ou
me if it was not for our hair, I took the
shears and cut Clatie’* hair as short as it
ever lias been done since by a barber,
although it lacked style. Our faces seemed
never to change. When Clatie was ill I was.
At one time we both lay for weeks with the
same fever.
"W hen he was 13 years of age my brother
fell in love with a pretty girl, and our people
objected. But my brother declared that it
was only a flirting acquaintance. One fine
evening I played the part of brother. I put
on his best clothes, overcoat and gloves
and drove up to the abode of my brother’s
lauy love. I asked her to drive for half an
hour. I did my best to talk love. I did
what I thought a sweetheart ought to do. I
talked of a future home and of love by the
sea. After 1 fairly engaged myseif 1 found
the dear little dove crying. 1 asked the
reason for tr.e suddon flow of tears from
those lovely eyes, and she said:
“ ‘Mr. Heath, I have been waiting for
you to propose for so long, and to think it
has come at last I’ and then she put her head
on my shoulder and wept.
“I trembled for my brother, and I tried
all manner of tales to have Clatie make a
trip to some seashore for my health before
the next engagement night, but that night
came and to my surprise he was only absent
a short time. I crept out of the barn to see
my brother as he drove in. 1 overheard
him say:
“‘That, girl is a fool; sue must take me
for a fiat.’
“1 crept back to the house, and to this
day my brother has the greatest sympathy
for those who are engaged without their
knowledge.”
