THE CO NCIL AMENDS THE HUTCH INSON ISLAND O FINANCE The Amendment to the Proposed Sale to the Middle Georgia and Atlantic Railroad Discussed and Laid Over to Be Acted On at an Adjourned Meet ing of the Council To-day." The city council met last night in ad journed session to consider the ordinance conveying the city’* projierty on Hutchin son’s Island to the Middle Georgia and Atlantio railroad. There were present Mayor Schwarz and Aldermen Harmon, Faineant, Ca n, Nich ols, Carson, Reid, Myers and Haines. C 1. E. C. Mecben. president of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic railroad, was also present, with his counsel, Col William Gar rard. The council sat In committee of the whole in conside.ation of the ordinance for about half an hour. Ibe committee took no actio.i, however, but reported the ordi nance back to council for such action as it might see lit to take. In the committee of the whole Alderman Carson offered an amendment to the ordi nance proposed by him Dec. SI, which was read by the clerk. THX AMEHDMEXT LAID OVER. The amendment makes several radical changes. It was proposed to consider the ame dment at onoe, but Aldermen Cann and Falligant objected in the grounds that as they bad not bad time to familia: izo themselves with the changes pr posed in the amendment they were not lu a position to act upon it. Alderman Cann said that with only a bare quorum present it was not proper for the council to oontider such a measure until the members had lieen given an opportunity to acquaint them selves with all its de'ails, and the measure had been discussed before a full meeting. It was agreed to allow the amendment to go over to a meeting to be held this afternoon at 4 o’clock. When the council was called to order in regular session Alderman Carson offered the amendment as information, in which ehape it was received. The ordinance was laid upon the table until this afternoon. THE PROPOSED CHANGES. The amendment to section 1 strikes out the words "possession, sxpectancy or re version,” and in their stead gives a clear and disti ct statement of the prop rtv to be conveyed, with all its boundaries. It requires, further, that fifty miles, commencing at or near the city of Savannah, on the tuaiuland bank of the Savannah river, at the end of the proposed railroad bridge, extending in wardly toward the ortharn terminus, must be ready for use and operation. It demands, further, that the two miles of track to he laid upon the island shall be ready for use and operation before the title becomes abso lute and perfect. SlThe amendment to section 2 strikes out that portion which reads "the mayor shall convey in said deed or by any other deed or deeds, as may be required from time to time, with proper coveuauts, rights of wav,” and substitutes the following: "That for the consideration aforesaid there is hereby granted to said Middle Georgia and At lantic Railway Company, its successors or assigns, a right of way for a double track which right of way shall be 100 leet in width," FIFTY MILES MUST BE BUILT. The amendment to the third section says that the gra t shall become null and Toid unless the fifty miles from the river bank, extending toward the northern terminus, and the two miles on the island shall be laid ready for use and operation within two years from the commencement of the work, and requires the construction to begin within six months from the passage of the ordinance. The amendment to section 4 allows onl y the use of the exchange and market docks for ferries, and strikes out the words “or such other public dock or docks owned by the city of Savannah, as may be selected by said railway company Us successors or as tiigns.” It also provides that the use of the exchange and market docks shall in nowise interfere with the us© of the same by the public. The amendment to section 5 requires the company to keep all banks, tru ks and dt clios on the grant in proper sanitary con dition according to the regulations now or hereafter adopted by the mayor and alder men, concerning dry culture and all excavations and upturning of soil shall be conducted according to the regula tions now in force or that may be hereafter adopted. THE HARBOR LINKS. The amendment to section 6 merely strikes out a repititlou, while the amendment to section 7is ready an entirely new section. It reads os follows: “That, as It appears by the official map of a portion of Savannah harbor, approvod Mar 4, 1889, by the war department of tee Tj nited States, that certain proposed harbor lines have been drawn, winch have been Adopted by the city of Savannah, if in conforming to said lines the United States government shall out off any part of the wuarf lots opposite the city of Savannah, and on the southern boundary of the portion of Hutchinson’s Island herein conveyed, than and in that event, the said Middle Georgia and At lantic Railway Company, its successors or assigns, shall quit claim unto said respective wharf lot owners as much land northward of the present back lines of said wharf lots as shall have been taki-n for the purpose of arranging said harbcr lines, in accordance with the lines to bo fixed by the city engineer, and a clause shall be inserted in the deed to bo made by the mayor and aldermen of the city of Savannah, In conformity with this ordinance, covering this section in sub stance, as a covenant running with the land." COL. MACHEN TALKS. Col. Machen was seen after the meeting, end said that no plaus or mode of action can be laid out by the company until the matter is defi nitely settled by the council. Further than this he would say nothing, as be said it would not be proper or wise to talk under the circumstances. One of the aldermen said that the ordi nance will be passed this afternoon, after a few more slight modifications. BINQKRa A'l A DINNER. Bsv. P. H. NcMahon Entertains St. Patrick's Choir. Rev. P. H.

The Dodge County Conspirator’s Term In Cbatbßm ounty Jail. Luther A. Hall, who was convicted of conspiracy aud murder at Macon several days ago,and was sentenced to the Columbus (0.) penitentiary for life, is well known as the lawyer who was confined in Chatham county Jail for 160 days last spring an 1 summer on a commitment from Judge Spear for contempt, for interfering with the Dodge lauds. He was sentenced on March JO, and on the 23d he was brought to Savannah and lodged In jail here, n and Hept. 1 he was delivered over to the United States marshal und carried back to Mac m. At that time his name was not mentioned in connection with the murder, and lu was quite a surprise to people iu Savannah when he was jointly indicted with the other con spirators. While serving out his se .tence for contempt Hall had his cell fixed up in hand some style, with an almost complete library. He was well liked by the jail officials and was a model prisoner. Hon. F.

CANDIDA ES C EDITED WITH MORE THAN THE TOTaL VOTE. Z Three Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-four Votes Cast at Thurs day's Election and Four Candidates Overrun the Count-The Treaeurer ahlp Not Affected by the Error- Some of the Ways the Mistake is Accounted For. SupL Patterson con plied with the re quirements of the state law with regard to elections yesterday morning by signing, sealing and delivering to the ordinary and clerk of the superior court each one of the tally sheets containing the consolidated re turns of the election for county officers, aud by forwarding a third eopy to the secretary of state. A mistake was discovered in tha returns as announced Wednesday night. Three thousand one hundred and eighty-four votes wtro cast in the election, as was found by adding up the numbers of each of the six tally sneets. The consolidated vote showed several of the oaudldat'.-g who had no oppo sition to have receivod more than the total number of votes cast. 1. ho consolidated returns were as follows: SHiairr. JohnT. Renan 8,194 CLERK SUPERIOR COCRT. James K. P. Carr 3,833 RECEIVER TAX RETURNS. John R. Dillon 2,655 TAX COLLECTOR. James J. McGowan 8.310 TREASURER, Warinz Russell 1,717 Charles 11. Olinstead 1,-lttS SURVEYOR. John R. Tebeau 3,230 CORONER. William D. Dixon. 3,107 it will be seen that Sheriff Ronan, Clei k Carr, Tax Collector McGowan aud t ounty Surveyor Teiieau each received a greater number than the total vote cast. TH* MISTAKE SOT DISCOVERED. In the hurry of counting out the vote late Wednesday night thia discrepancy was uot noticed. Hupt, Patterson's attention was called to it yesterday morning. Oa exami nation he found that Box 4 had given each of the candidates having no opposi tion more than the total vote of the Box, the vote reported giving Carr m, Ronan 538, Dillon 553, Dixon 580, Mo- Gowau 505, Tobeau 598. There were 547 ballots cast at Box 4. The vote for treas urer at this box was: Russell 293, Olmstead 254. The vote for tbe twocanduiates added together gi voe 547, the exact vote of tbe box, so there did not appear to be any mistake made in tbe return of tho vote for treas urer. Supt. Patterson said he ooujd not under stand bow the mis.ake occurred, and so.it for S. L. La/.aroi aud P. J. O'Connor, who were ma agers at Box 4, and, the first being a Russell man and tho second an Olmstead man, left the matter to their decision. They could not remember how the mistake oc curred, but were eatisfled that It resulted from counting one batch of tickets, prob ably the split tickets, twice for the candi dates mentioned. LAID TO THE TALLY SHEET KEEPERS. As tho tally sheet keeper who was lead ing had found some difficulty in taking the votes correctly as they were calte and, they concluded the mistake must have been made by the tally sheet keepers As there was no mistake in the vote for treasurer in that box they concluded not to attempt to cor rect the other mistakes, as the managers had all signed the tally sheets and gone home, und it might cause an endless amount of trouble to attempt to correct the mistake. Ho the returns as published were allowed to stand. Several popular candidates can now congratulate themselves on receiving more votes than were actually cast. Justice Sam Reynolds, who was the third manager at Box 4, und who called the re turns from that box to the tally-sheet keep ers, explained tbe mistake. He said it was the fault of the tally-sheet keepers. Tha votes in this box were divided into four batches, viz., 100 straight tickets for Olmstead, 154 straight tickets for Olmstead, 293 votes lor Russell, of which 93 were split and weie called separately. JUSTICE REYNOLDS’ STATEMENT. “Wien I called 393 votes for Russell,” said Justice Reynolds, “the tally-sheet keepers ran 293 straight through the list, when they should have only given the other candidates 300, and then w col called the split ticket separately, they put them down ugain. This gave 98 votes too many to several of the candidates. I said at the time that they were not taking them correctly.” This would mean a lo s of 98 v< tes to the candidates whose vote is in sices iof the total ballot. Two of the tally sheet keepers were seen, and both of them were positive tbit they had taken the vote exactly a< it was called. Snpt. Pat orson also kspt tally of the vote by boxes ns it was called, and is positive that the vote was called as recorded. His notes corresponded exactly with the tally sheet. THE TALLY SHEET RECORD. As the record stands oa the tally sheet there wore2s4straight Oluistead tickets in Box 4, 293 straight Russell tickets an la number of split tickets, with no vote for treasurer, which gave the other candidates the follow ing vote: Carr 46, Honan 4tl, D.ilonO, Dixon 42, MoGowan 48, Tehran 51. Several minor mistakes of a few votes were appparent in some of the other boxes. They could easily have been made in the hurry of making up the returns so late at night. Boxes 4 and 6 were the only ones at which the managers called out the votes in' lots iustoad of consolidating the whole vote before “reporting it. A peculiar circumstance of the vote of Box 6 was that of 129 straight Olmstead tickets Capt. John R. Dillon received 129 votes, while of 168 straight Russell tickets he did not receive a vote. There were 7 split Russell tickets, of which Capt. Dillon received 3 votes, making only 3 votes for Capt. Dillon out of 175 Russell tickets. CITY BtiVum Seven arrests were reported at the bar racks last uigbt up to 1:30 o’clock.

The sale of seats for James O'Neill’s en gagement Indicates that it will be as O’Neill’s engagements always are—a success. For soveral years past—in fact, for many years —the names ot James O’Neill and “Monte Cristo” have been almost synonymous. As "Edmoud Dantes" Mr. O’Noil! has made a reputation which places him in the front rank In the drama ,iu world, and the an nounce ment this season that he is to appear in tho new role of "Robert Landry" in the famous "Dead Heart" has caused quite a ripple in theatrical circles. “The Dead Heart' 1 is not anew play, al though this is the first time it has been pro sentod in Savannah. It is a play that has for many years delighted audiences in every part of the world; it is the play in which Henry Irving first shone out as agieat his trionic star, aud long since it has been ranked with fhe best dramatic prqductions of the century. It has ta’en its place along with tbo immortal works of Bui war Lytton. Tobin, Knowles and the other distinguished playwrights whose fame Is eclipsed only by the great name of Shakespeare. Last Monday night Mr. O’Neill played "The Dead Heart” in Atlanta, and the peo ple of that city were taken by storm. The critics, always on the qui xrive for flaws and faults, had no ords in which to describe the performance but those of the highest praise. The play will be presented here to-m-rrow fternoon and night. A Charleston dispatch to the Morning News says that O’Neill turned people away there last night. The receipts of the per formance were $1,483, the largest ever known for a siugle dramatic performance iu Charleston. If you try a sample bottle of Shepard’s B. B.

How One Struck "Sternberg's.’’ “Mistakes will occur in the bast regulated families.” They’ve been occurring since Adam, and will keep on happening till this globe retires from active business. Some mistakes we care little for; others make us extremely unhappy. We met oue of the latter, to wit: We thought that the boliday trade this war would gobble up all the stock we could get and cry for more. It didn’t gobble; it just Dibbled ; and we hare as a result some Fanoy Stock on hand that “hadn’t orter." Pretty, to bs sure; unique and attractive in every way. Alas! our admiration for the beautiful in art has had the edge taken off it. We pine for money.

Capital i* neee sary for sueetsful agricul ture or horticulture in Southern California. But where ii it not needed I In New Eng land? In Kansas, where land which was given to actual settlers is covered with mortgages for mouey absolutely necessary to develop it? But passing this by, what is the chance in Southern California for laborers and for mecha jcs! Let us Under stand the situation. In California there 13 no exception to the rule that continual labor, thrift, and foresight ere essential to the getting of a good living or the gain ing of a competence. No doubt specula tion wilDpring up again. It is lnevitabls with the present enormous and yearly in creasing yield of fiuits, the better intelli gence in vine culture, wine-oinking, and raisin-curi >g, the growth of marketable oranees, lemma, etc., and the conse quent rise in the value of land. Doubt less fortunes will be made by enterprising companies who secure iarge a'ress of unim proved land at low prices, bring water on thun, and then sell in small lots. But this will o me to an end. The tendenoy is to subdivide the land into small holdings—into farms and gardens of ten and twenty acres. The groat ranches are sure to be broken up. With the resulting settlement by industri ous people, the cities will again experience “booms;” but these are not peculiar to California. In my mind I see the time when this region (t ecause it will pay better proportionately to cultivate a small area) will be one of small farms, of neat cottages, of i dustrious homes. The owner is pretty certain to prosjwr—that is, to get a good livi- g (which is independence) and lay aside a little yearly—if tin work is done by him self and his family. And the peculiarity of the sitr.ati nls that the farm or garden, whichever it is called, will give agreeable and roost healthful occupation to all the boys and girls in the family all the days in the year that can be spared fr m the school. Aside from the plowing, the labor is light. Prun ing. grafting, budding, the picking of the grnpea, the gathering of the fruit from trees, the sorting, packing and canning, are labor tor light and deft hands, and labor distrib uted through the year. The harvest, of one sort and another, "is almost continuous, so that young girls and boys can have, in well settled districts, pretty steady employment —a long season in establishments packing 1 ranges; at another time, in canning fruits; at another, in packing raisins. it goes without saying that in the indus tries now developed, and in others as important, which are in their infancy (for instance, the culture of the olive for oil and as au article of food, the growth and curing of figs, the gathering ot almonds, English walnuts, etc.), the labor of the owners of the land and their families w ll not suffice. There must be as large a pro portion of day laborers as there is in other regions where such products are grown. Chi nese labor at certain seasons has been a ne cessity. Under the pre eat policy of Cali fornia this must diminish, end its place be taken by some other. The pay for this labor has always been giod. It is certain to be more and more in demand. Whether the pay will ever approach near to the Eu ropean standard is a question, but it is a fair presumption that the exceptional profit of the land, owing to its productiveness, will for a long time keep wages up. During the “boom” period all wages wero high, those of skilled mechanics especially, owing to the great amount of building on speculation. The ordinary laborer on a ranch had #3O a month and board and lodg ing ; laborers of a higher grade, #2 to ¥2 50 a day; skilled masons, #6; carpenters, from #3 50 to $5; plasterers, #4 to 15: house serv ants, from #25 to $35 a month. Since the “boom,” wages of skilled mechanics have declined at lea-t 25 per cent., and there has been less demand for labor generally, except In connection with fruit raising aud harvesting. It would be unwise f r laborers to go to California on an uncer tainty, but it can be said of that country with more confidence than of any other section that its peculiar industries, now daily increasing, will absorb an increasing amount of day labor, and later on it will remunerate skilled artisan labor. CLEAN AND GLAD OP IT. An Interesting Religio-Sanltary Serv ice in a New Jersey City. Fiom the Philadelvhia Record. The cleanliness is next to godlioess is fully believed by the United Evangelists, who era end avoring to save the people of Camden from Satan, anil who took advant age of yesterday’s holiday to have two washings of the feet of the elect. None but Christians wore invited to remain to the great cleansing, but as there are many such iu Camden, the small ch ipel at No. 414 Line street was well filled when the breth ren and sisters began to remove their shoes and stockings. Only two small tubs were provided for the ceremony, one for each sex, and at the twelve women and four men who wanted their feet cleansed were calmly removing their shoes the tuba filled w ith water were placed in front of aid on either side of the pulpit platform. They then marched up to the tubs with towels thrown over their shoulders. Brother Smith, the leader and exhorter, first placed his feet in the water, while Brother Conard dropped on his knees and humbly washed his chief's extremities. Another man then washed Brother Conard’s feet. “It suits me. It suits roe,” burst out Brother Smith a9 the sis e s began their pedal ablutions, and the audience took up the hymn. “Come on, *lsters and brethren,” insisted the evangelist; “don’t hang back; there hain’t nothing to be ashamed of. That’s right. Glory Hallelujah!” as another pair of feet were plunged into the tub. The water was not changed, but that did not matter, as Brother Smith insisted “the spirit was in the water, aud that was enough.” There was a temporary halt in the line of women at one time, but as another ap proached cries of “Palms of victory, palms of love” resounded throughout the build ing. “Pm clean! oh. I’m clean! I know I’m clean!” excitedly cried one sister as her feet were being carefully dried on a towel: and a chorus of “We’re clean, we’re clean,'' burst from her fellow Salvationist*. “Oh, I feel as if I could take the lowest drunk rd or the most abandoned woman and make them clean. Wash, sisters and brethren; wash out your sim, and you’ll be happy,” continued brother Smith. “I’m happy, but it - asn’t the devil that made me happy. Oh, I’m happy, I’m happy; I’m on my way to Zion." Bradyerotlne cured headaches for M. H. Fullen, Providence, R. I.—Ad.

They Appropriated t-leigh-iells in J>uiy- From tit January Century. Th* well-filled stores and gaudy shop win dows if the Indiana and Ohio towns s emed to stimulate in men accustomed to im poverished and unpretentious Dixie, the propensity to appropriate beyond limit or restrai it. I had never before seen any thing like this disposition to plunder. Our perilous situation only teamed to render the men mors reckle-s. At the same time any thing moro ludicrous than the manner in which they Indulged their pied story tastes can scarcely be Imagined. The weather was intensely yvarrn—the hot July sun burned the earth to pow der, and we were breathing super heated dust-yet one roan rode for throe days with seven pairs of tkates slung ab mt his neck; another loaded himself with sleigh bells. A large chafing dish, a medium sized Dutch clock, a green glass decanter, with goblets to match, a bag of horn but tons, a chandelier, and a bird cage contain ing three canaries, were some of the articles 1 saw burne off and jealously fondled. The officers usually waited a reasonable period, until the novelty had worn off, and then bad this rubbish thrown away. Baby shoes and oalioo, however, were the staple articles of appropriation. A fellow would procure a bolt of calico, carry it carefully for a day or two, then oast it aside and get another. “WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW.” E. H. Levy & Bro. Are Curious—Free Furniture for rotnobody.
