AFTER THE POLICE PLUM
THE ASSISTANT CHIEF3HIP NOT TO
GO BEGGING.
Promotion in Office Likely to be
Recognized by the Council in Pilling
the Vacant Place—Sergt. Lee First
in the Line of Promotion and Sergt.
Killourhy Next The Police Not
Overpleased with the Council’s
Refusal to Increase Their Pay. *
The police, while not saying much, do not
appear to be at all satisfied with the conclu
sion readied by the couicil in deciding not
to increase their pay. They have no reason
to grumble, however, as they are better
paid than those of either Charleston,
Atlanta or Augusta. Only one city in the
state pays nn equal amount as Savannah,
and that is Macon.
Charleston pays its captain of police $l5O
per month, lieutenants S9O to SIOO, ser
geants $55 to S6O, and privates SSO, which
is sls less than Savannah pays. Atlanta
gives patrolmen but $2 for each day of
actual service, and they have to furnish
their own uniforms. Augusta’s chief of
polico gets $1,200 per year, with SIOO addi
tional for feed cf horse; lieutenants $l,lOO,
w ith SIOO for feed of horses; eight sergeants
$65 per month, with SIOO extra for four
mounted officers, and the privates receive
but $55 per month.
From the above it will be seen that Sa
vannah's police, with salaries of $65 per
month and two uniforms a year, have no
good ground for complaint.
THE ASSISTANT CHIEKSHIP.
The intention cf council to fill the vacant
position of assistant chief at the coming
election is causing considerable speculation.
The men on the force teem to be opposed to
having an outsider placed in the position,
and they think that the assistant chief
should be taken from their own number by
the promotion of one of the sergeants.
A member of council in speaking of the
matter to a representative of the Morning
News said that the only reason for the
office not being filled before this was simply
inaction on the part of the board of aider
men. Chief Green, he said, has several
times asked that the office be filled, but for
some reason or another the matter was put
off from time to time. In discussing
the budget, the counoil cante to the conclu
sion ttiat the office should be filled at the
coming election, so as to put the department
on the proper footing and conform to the
city ordinance. Auother reason for this
determination was that in case of sickness
or other causes that would prevent the
chief from attending to his duties it is
necessary to have someone to assume au
thority and look after the proper manage
ment of affairs.
THE SALARY CUT DOWN.
When asked why it was that council had
reduced the salary attached to the office
from $1,500 to $1,350 the alderman said
that one of the board moved that the salary
be placed at that figure for the present, and
that settled it. The assistant chief, he said,
will probably ask for an increase after be
coming conversant with his duties, and the
salary may then be placed at the old figure.
On being asked whether or not the office
will be filled by the promotion of one of
the sergeants, the alderman replied that he
bad no idea what course of action the coun
cil would pursue, but he, individually,
thought promotion the proper step, and was
in favor of it.
ASPIRANTS FOR THE PLACE.
In the event of council deciding on a pro
motion Sergt. Lee will be entitled to the
office by the right of seniority, but as be
bas been for a long time, and is at present,
incapacitated from duty by reason of sick
ness, without much hope of his ultimate
recovery, Sergt. Killourhy, who is next in
line, will probably by elected. This will
make the appointment of another sergeant
necessary.
The salary of sergeants is SI,OOO per year,
and they are appointed by the mayor ou
recommendation' of the chief of polioe.
Who the lucky individual will be is some
thing that greatly interests the old mem
bers of the force.
Sergt. Killourhy has been connected with
the police force for about a quarter of a
century, and has made a record
by bis prompt arrest of murderers.
His clever capture of the murderer
of the Greek fruit dealer at the corner of
Price and South Broad streets several years
ago was favorably commented upon at the
time by both the press and the people.
When he arrived on the scene of the
murder no one knew who had committed
the crime except that it was a colored boy.
TAKING THE SCENT.
Sergt. Killourhy overheard two colored
women talking about someone, whom one
of the women said knew a great deal about
the killing. The other woman denied that
the party referred to knew anything at all
about it, saying that he bad been in his bed
for some time. Sergt. Killourhy demand and
of the women to tell hiuio; whom they were
talking, and the one who had inado the de
nial said it was her son.
The officer compelled the woman to go to
her house in one of the adjacent lanes,
where the officer found the youug man re
ferred to in bed apparently asleep. Ho
pulled him Out and charged him with the
murder, nt the same time placing him under
arrest. Tho fellow became frightened and
told Kergt. Killourhy that while he bad
nothing to do with the killing he was with
the one who committed the crime, and gave
the sergeant his home and told where he
lived.
After placing his prisoner behind the
bars Sergt. Killourhy started out after the
murderer, and captured him iu the suburbs
Bitting on the doorstep of a house. The
negro was afterward sent to tbe penitentiary
for life.
Another notable case was the capture of
the trio of negroes, Johnson, Small and
Coleman, who murdered a sailor named
McDermott at the foot of Broughton
street. In two hours after the orime had
been committed Sergt. Killourhy
had fastened the crime on
the three men, although no one
in the neighborhood had the slightest idea
who the guilty partie* were. Coleman
turned slate’s evidence and sent Johnson to
the gallows and Smalls to the penitentiary.
These are only a few of the many cases
worked up to a successful endiug bv that
officer.
CANDIDATSB BOBBING UP.
Eeveral Opposing- Aspirants for City
Offices in the Field.
Candidates for the various city cffices
will now begin to bob up serenely, and the
aldermen will have a considerable portion
4>f their time taken up listening to the
friends of the various aspirants and reading
petitions for their support sent through the
mails.
One alderman a few days sgo received a
letter asking bis influence and support for
ttie position of clerk of the market, and,
after reading the contents, which were
highly eulogistic of the excellent ijuahflca
tions of the applicant for the position, ns
surprised to tlnd that the author of the
letter bail fulled to sign his name.
City Marshal Wade will have opposition
to re-election. It was authoritatively
stated yesterday that James F. Gallagher
will be a candidate for the inarthaUhip.

CHRISTMAS CLOSE BY NOW.
The Next Four Days to be Busy Ones
For Everybody.
If all the days of Christmas week are ss
fair and pleasant as was j-estorday they will
be all that can be desired and no complaint
can be made against the weather.
Yes’ordar was a peaceful, quiet, Sab
bath-like day, especially in the business
portion of the town. In the
residence portion there was an evident
anticipation of Chri-tmas in tie minds of
the youthful population, and the bang of
the poppers frequently disturbed the peace
ful quiet. Many a boy forgot his Sunday
school lesson bet ore be reached bine, awl
dropped a torpedo just for fun. The street
car tracks wore the favorite places for the
mischief-maker* bo deposit their torpedoes
and the Belt Line was an especial sufferer.
The explosion is so sharp when an electric
car going at full speed strikes a torjiedo
that the temptation to this sport is aim st
irresistible to the youthful population along
Its line.
The employes of tue Southern Express
Company are a hard worked set of men
now. They are working ali day and half
the night, and hardly keep up with
their work at that. Several thousand pack
ages a day have been delivered in Savannah
during the last three or four days, and the
number is increasing every day. The
number of packages received for local de-
livery yesterday was so great that the
local delivery office at the corner of
Bay and Whitaker wus unable to hold more
than half the quantity, and the other half
was stored in the main office on Bull street.
Six extra man and three extra w agons are
assisting the regular force to keen up with
the work. There is a great deal of com
plaint about packages not being delivered
promptly.
“If people would just loavealittie change
at home it would save us thf trouble of
calling a second or third time with a pack
age,” said an employe of the company to
a Morning News reporter, who callod at
the office yesterday.
We can’t deliver the packages without the
charges due on them. These people are
sure to kick when they don’t get their
packages, too.”
“Wiiat class of packages are you hand
ling the most of now ?” a clerk was asked.
* T, P. P.’ size, two pounds and under,” he
replied. “We don’t know what’s in the
package, of course. Quantities of fruit are
coming in now. I.ots of candy, toa. Christ
mas cakes will be pouring in in a day or
two.”
The expressmen will work hard Christ
mas week that others may enjoy the holi
days. So will the railroad men, the news
paper men, and a large proportion of the
business men.
There are four more days in the year
after this week, but all the same this is
Christmas week. During to-day and the
next two days the buying, the selecting and
hiding away, the arranging aud the prepar
ing will be done, theu will come the gifts
and tbo surprises, the Christmas trees for
the children aud the big dinners, the feast
ing and the merry-making. The last two
days will suffice to round off the merry
making and finish the revels and for the
heartaches, too; but ns for the four days
next week, they are not in it. They are too
far belaud the procession.
J. L. SPENDER DEAD.
A Former Teacher in the Public
Schools Dies In Liberty County.
Friends and relatives iu Savannah were
notified yesterday morning of the death of
J. L. Spencer at his home in Flemington,
Liberty county, Saturday night. Mr.
Spencer was a brother of Col. 8. B. Spencer,
principal of the Chatham Grammar school,
and a brother-in-law of J. E. Way, principal
of the Massie school. Ho was for
ten years a teacher in the High School,
leaving Savannah about 1884, and is well
known to many people of Savannah, espe
cially the younger gene-ation, who sat under
his instruction. Col. T. B. Spencer was iu at
tendance upon his brother at his death.
The interment will bo at Flemiugtou.
CHIEF KELLY ARRIVES.
The Knights of the Golden Eagle Take
Him In Charge.
Irving W. Kelly, of Trenton, N. J., su
preme chief of tho Knights of tho Goffien
Eagle, arrived in Savannah yesterday
morning aud was escorted to the De Soto
by a committee of the local castles. The
day was spent very quietly. Mr. Kelly
was shown over the city in the after
noon by a committal of knights.
To-day he will be in charge of a committee
who will endeavor to make him thoroughly
aequatuted with Savannah anl its sur
roundings. To-night the grand meeting of
Fidelity aud Savannah castles, over which
Supreme Cbiet Kelly will preside, wiil be
held, followed by the banquet at Odd Fel
lows’ hall.
TO CHANGE THEIR BONDS.
City Officers to ba Bonded Hereafter
in Fidelity Compemes.
The finance committee of the city council,
it is understood, has decided to require the
important city officials to give bonds in oue
of tho fidelity companies. This move will
no doubt meet with general approval.
The council will meet in caucus to-night
to discuss the reduction of the specific
taxes, and to discus the budget for the last
time before presenting it in open meeting.
An increase in tbe salaries- of several officers
will also te considered. The salary of as
sistant chief fireman, it is rumored, will be
increased $l5O a year, making it $1,350, the
same as that of assistant chief of police.
The salary of the city marshal will also he
increased. The meeting Wednesday night
will probably be short on account of Christ
mas eve.

THE CONSPIRACY CAST?.
Fx-Senator dußignon Takes a Day’s
Rest from the Trial.
Hon. F. G. dußignon, who has been assist
ing United State* District Attorney Erwin
in the prosecution of Col. mur
derers, in the United States court at Macon,
spent yesterday at home.
Mr. dußignon said that he is almost
broken down by the tremendous strum of
the trial, which will probably last at least
two weeks longer. The government will
close its case to-day, and the defense expects
to consume about a week in offering evi
dence. The government's rebuttal evidence,
he said, will take several days, and the argu
ment s cannot be gotten througb in loss than
two days.
Air. dußignon said the government has
made oat a strong case by the confessions of
Conspirators Burch and Clements, which
have been amply corroborated by strong
elrcum.taat.ai evidsneo. Lawyer Hall,;he
said,has been connected with the conspiracy
all the way through the trial.
Although the man who actually fired the
fatal shot has not been captured, the evi
dence against the six men on trial is con
clusive enough to warrant a conviction, as
they have been proven equally as guilty
under the law as Lowry. Burch, who turned
state’s evidence, is lying dangerously ill,and
Ins coufi-sssiun was taken at the bedside.
Mr. dußignon said that both his confession
and that of Clements, who made one on be
ing arrested, show a most cold-blooded
murder. Clements had been selected to do
the “job,” aud went twico to Col. Forsyth’s
home to kill him, but his heart failed him
each time.
Then it was that Lowry was selected and
was given S6OO to carry out the devilish
work. Lowry is what is called a Seuffie
toniun, a cross between a negro, Indian aud
white Iran. Ho derives his appellation from
the place where he was born, ScutHato.i,
N. C., which is inhabited partly by a most
desperate class of half-breeds. Lowry,
Mr. duDignon said, looks moie
like an ludiau than he does like a negro.
It is .said that be is in Florida, and the gov
ernment officers are using every effort to
apprehend him. A rejvard of $2,000 has
b en offered for his capture.
Clements pleaded not guilty when ar
raigned aud went to trial vith the others,
denying that he had made a confession.
The officers, however, had taken it down in
short hand at the time he was arrested, and
it was read in court.
Mr. dußignon said that excitement is
running high in Maoon over the trial, the
court room being crowded from morning
until night. People come in from all the
neighboring towns along the railroads
leading into Macon, and the greatest interest
is manifested. The sentiment in Macon is
strongly in favor of the conviction of the
accused, said Mr. duHignou, and he con
siders that the result of this trial will have
considerable bearing on future investments
by northern capitalists. If the men are
convicted it will show that the people will
bo protected in their rights, otherwise it
will have a bad effect.
The lawyers for the prisoners are making
a great defense, Mr. dußignon said, and
while there have been several amusing tilts
between the court and counsel, yet every
thing Is moving along smoothly. The pris
oners are bearing up well under the ordeal,
and their families are in attendance with
them in court every day.
Mr. dußignon will do the cross-examin
ing of the defendants’ witnesses, and will
make the closing argument on behalf of the
government. He left last night for Macon,
aud expects to speud both Christmas aud
New Year's there.
EVERYTHING QUIET AT VARN.
The Turpentine War Over With and
Peace Prevails.
J. H. Mitchell of Yarn is stopping at
the Pulaski. Mr. Mitchell, it will be res
meinbered, purchased the turpentine farm
and other interests of L. B. Varn when
Varu was oompelled to leave his place
by his irate neighbors on ac
count of the difficulty arising
from his purchase of a tract of laud, the
title to which .was disputed, and out of
which grew the killing of two white men by
Varn’s negroes, aud which plunged the
country round about into a state of war for
several days.
Mr. Mitchell said to a Morning News
reporter last night that everything had
quieted down, and he had had no trouble
since he took charge of affairs at Varn
beyond straightening out a badly unsettled
business. Mr. Varn. he says, has never
visited the place since he left, nor would it
be wise for him to do so.
THE .MYSTERY OF GODLINESS.
Rev. H. H. Loomis’ Sermon at Trinity
M. E. Church.
Rev. H. H. Loomis’ sermon at Trinity
church last night was upon tho mystery of
godliness, from the text, '‘Great is the mys
tery of Godliness,” L Timothy, iii., 10.
Mr. Loomis dwolt upon the mysteries of
Gcd os manifested in tbo flesh, the mysteries
of the manner of God’s dealing with his peo
ple ar.d ti e grand revelation of the riiys
teries of God to be revealed hereafter.
Mr. Loomis’ style of dealing with matters
not fully explained in tho Bible, and which
are considered subjects of speculation, is
very interesting from toe original ideas ad
vanced aud the manner of dealing with
tnem.
A large congregation listened to the ser
mon last night. Mr. Loomis will continue
to fill the pulpit of Trinity until the pastor
to he appointed at the present conference
arrives.
SWALLOWED HIS TEETH.
A Young South Carolinian Finds Them
Hard Food to Live on,
Frank Davis, a young farmer living up
the Savannah river, on the South Carolina
side, passed through Savannah yesterday
on his way to Charleston to have a surgical
operation performed. While coughing the
other day Davis loosened and swallowed a
couple of false teeth. The plate lodged in
the lower portion of the passage to the
stomaoh, and has been giving him great
pain, so much so that he is iu fear of his
life. The iocal physicians were unable to
do anything for him, and advised him to go
to Charleston and have the teeth removed
by a surgical operation.
A Mission at Bt. Patrick’s.
Sunday. Jan. 11, a mission by the Jesuit
Fathers will be inaugurated in St. Patrick’s
church and will continue for about ten
days. The exercises of the mission will
consist of two masses eaoh morning, fol
lowed by short instructions, and service at
night at which sermons will be preached ou
different religious subjects. The missiona

no doubt will attract large crowds to the
services.

A Traffic Alliance With the Gould
Lines to be Effected The Stock
holders’ KxcursioD.
The anuual meeting of stockholders of
the Central railroad will be held to-morrow.
These meetings amount to vary little except
affording the country stockholder * the oppor
tunity to visit Savannah by a free ride on
their • ‘scrip,” and to collect their dividends.
The election for directors in January is
the important meeting.
There has been considerable talk recently
of Gen. Alexan ier’s resignation from the
presidency of the Central and of Jay
Gould’s probable electi n to the directory.
President Inman of the Richmond Terminal
telegraphed the Morning News yesterday
setting the rumor of Gan. Alexander’s
resignation at rwt. Mr. Inman’s telegram
reads:
New York, Dec. 81, 1390.
To the Morning Sieto*:
There is do foundation whatever for the re
port* that Gen. Alexander wilt be retired from
tbe presidency of the Central railroad. He will
be re elected, as will the old hoard of directors,
except some citizen of Georgia, not yetajlecte i.
who will be put in the place of the lamented
Judge Chisholm
We are arranging for a traffic alliance with
Mr. Gould's large railroad system west of tbe
Mississippi, and expect to draw a large western
business direct to points throuehaut the south
ern states as well as through southern ports to
New York and Europe.
John H. Inman.
The first train load of stockholders and
their families came in last night. There
were four passenger ooacbes on the train,and
all were crowded to their full capacity. A
number also came in on the Saturday night
trai t and the morning train yaster
day. They were mostly country people
and people from the smaller towns along
the railroad, especially those near Savan
nah. There were also a number from the
larger towns some and stance up the road,
Griffin, Sandersville, Bartow, Davisboro,
Louisville, Teniile and Millen. Every town
and station on the Central for 100
miles above Savannah is represented by
parties of two to twenty and more. The
majority of the excursionist* have friends
and relatives in the city with whom they
will slop for the day or two that they wiil
spend in Savannah. Those who are not so
fortunate as to have friends or relatives
are stopping ut the boarding houses and
private houses where they can secure
accommodation. These people are econom
ically disposed and do not believe in paying
hotel'orices when they can be satisfied just
as well elsewhere at half the price. They
find a great deal more satisfaction in put
ting their money in Christmas goods and
having something to sho w for it when they
get home.
The Central trains to-day will be loaded
down with excursionists, who will seiz*
this opportunity of purchasing their Christ
mas goods in the city markets. It is safe
to say that the greater portion of the
money drawn in Btock dividends and
a great deal more besides will bo spent in
the city, and the dealers in Christmas nov
elties, dry goods men and clothiers, and
retail stores generally, will do a large trade
with the stockholders.

notice Moses Jones, chairman of the coun
cil, said it was done to put deep water ves
sels, coming to this port to loan! lumber, on
notice of the demands of tho lumbermen, so
that there will be no misunderstanding. He
stated that tho association expected to have
trouble in January, as there are sev
eral parties trying to break up the
organization by employing non-union labor
and influencing others to do likewise. If
things of that kind do not stop, he said,
there will proba ly be a general strike along
the wharves of the lumbermen. Up to the
present time, Jones said, very little non
union labor lias been employed, and masters
of vessels and stevedores have acceded to
tueir demands.
The lumbermen, said Jones, were only
only getting $1 50 around up to last May.
They became dissatisfied with tho pay, aid
au informal meeting of the workers was
held, and the association was organized.
In July it had assumed suoh proportions as
warranted increased compensation being
asked for, and at a meeting held for that
purpose the order was promulgated
as stated above. No trouble was
experienced, Jones said, and their demands
were cheerfully acceded to. The associa
tion wants to avoid trouble now, but will
make a fight If what it considers its rights
are ignored. The association’s membership
exceeds 400. *

A Great Holiday Exhibit—Ludden &
Bates Kouthern Music House in
Festal Array.
Monday evening, Dec. 22, Tuesday after
noon ar.d evening, Dec. 23. Don’t forget
the dates, for they will mark an ora in tho
Piano and Organ trade of the south.
Ludden & Bates Southern Music House,
for twenty years the great music house of
the south, intends to commemorate its
twentieth birthday by the greatest display
ever seen in the south, and perhaps the
greatest ever seen in any city.
A CORDIAL INVITATION.
Every citizen of Savannah and every vis
itor within her gates is cordially invited to
attend this great display—to come as ear) v
and stay as long as he or she chooses.
WHAT WILL THERE BE TO SEE AND HEAR?
In the first plaoe, you are promised the
greatest exhibit if pianos and organs by
the world’s greatest makers ever seen in
this country. Au immense waro-room, 50x90
superficial feet, covered with the great
est examples of the piano maker’s art. Up
right pianos in quartered oak, blistered
walnut, Circassian walnut, rosewood, eb
ony, mountain mahogany, anil ocher fancy
woods tastefully carved, paneled and deco
rated in the most beautiful manner. Grand
pianos from parlor size up lo the largest
Concert Grand made.
Organs of every style and description,
from tbe little “Baby,” small enough to tie
put into an ordinary bandbox, to the great
two bank vocalton, large enough for a
church. Every possible variety, not only
in case work, but in tonal quality and
powor. It is not necessary that oue should
have an idea of buying a piano to appre
ciate this great anil most artistic display.
In addition to all this there will be shown a
large number of square and upright pianos
on the first and third floors. Among them
will be found instruments to suit every
taste, from that of the most mode>t cottager
to that of the millionaire.
MUSICAL MERCHANDISE DEPARTMENT.
In addition to the stock of violins, banjos,
guitars and every conceivable style of mu
sical instrument usually carried, there has
just been opened a special importation of
eleven immense cases, just cleared through
the custom house. These cases are filled
with the finest output of the greatest Ger
man factories. Among them will be shown
guitars of every conceivable style, from the
plainest to the most highly inlaid aud deco
rated.
THE AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS
will also be represented by many examples
of the Washburn and other guitars, which
are now conceded to be the finest in the
world; also by a great stock of banjos of all
makes. In short, there will be nothing in
the way of musical merchandise that will
not bo fully represented. Such another
stcck of fine instruments in this line cannot
be found south of Philadelphia.
Now, these will be the central features of
this great exhibit, as it were, the privotal
point about which the rest will revolve; for
after all Ludden & Bates is nothing if not
a great business house, with its eyes single
to the interests of its customers and itself.
But for this special occasion the friends
of the house ere promised an entertainment
which of itoelf will be worth going to rnuoh
trouble to see andjhear.
There wiil be music—and music of the
.highest order. Cobb’s orchestra of twelve
men, the finest organization of the kind in
this city, has been specially engaged for this
occasion, aud will furnish music which will
gratify the miss refined tastes. The selec
tions will be of a most pleasing order, and
the concerts will be given from 3 to 0 and
8 to 10 each evening.
OTHER FEASTS FOR THE EYES.
For two or three yeais past the office
force of Ludden & Bates, which is in itself
n small array, has been terribly crowded
for room. To remedy this the main
floor of their great building has
been entirely remodeled. The gallerv
at the end of the room has been greatly
enlarged, and is approached by a grand
staircase in the center. New electric lights
have been added, and there wiil be Christ
mas decoration in the most tasteful profu
sion.
BUT THIS IS NOT ALL
There will be some novel and curious
features, not to be announced in advance.
Come and see them.
Remember every one is invited, especially
the visiting Central stockholders and their
families. Ludden & Bates S. M. H.
