last night’s meetings.
The political pot boiled all of yesterday
and most of last uight. Mayor Schwarz’s
friends wonted hard, holding many cau
cuses during the day, and winding up with
a meeting last night at Masonio temple,
Thomas Keenan presided and A. N.
Mauncy acted as secretary. On the stage were
Mayor Schwarz. Aldermen Falligant, Car
son. Harmon and Reid, Candidates McGuire,
O’Brien and Meyer, and Capt, Henry
Blun. Mayor Bch wars made a brief soeeob,
iu which he told of the agreement of the old
board to stand by him, aud then weut into
a resume of his worlc as chief oxecutire.
Candidates McGuire, O’Brien and Meyer,
and Aldermen Reid and Carson also spoke.'
Capt. Blun urged the supporters of Mayor
Schwarz to work hard to-day, and he was
satisfied they could beat the onposition by
at least 500 votes. A. N. Mamicy followed
him on the same line, except that he was a
little muse expressive in his language about
the “dishonorable action of some of the
present board,” as be put it.
ALDERMAN FALLIGANT’S SPEEOH.
Alderman Falligant made the speech of
the evening, however. He went into a
flowery peroration of how he had watched
with pride for fifty-four years the growth of
Savannah. From that he switched off to
his career in council, and told of the great
questions which had been settled by the
preeeut board, aud how real aud personal
property had been made to share equal har
dens of taxation. He then told how he had
settled the ground rentquadiion, and placed
the city in a position to have proper drain
age without burdening the people. He
closed his remarks os follows: "No man
ever sat in that office who devoted himself
more assiduously to his duties
than John Schwarz. He has been
in no ring, no job, nor anything
that enriched bis pocket at the expeu.se of
his fellow-citizens. I believed years ago
that he was honest man. In my two years
service with him I am still of that opinion.
As for myself, my record is before you.
The part I have taken is one in which I
may say that I did my duty to you fear
lessly and conscientiously, and I do not fear
your verdict.”
Alderman McDonough’s friend’s had a
short meeting in Armory ball to arrange
the final details for to-day’s work at the
polls. Those in attendance claimed to be
very confident of winning the fight, and
said they did not fear the verdict of the
people.
THE REGISTRATION TALK.
Ail sorts of cair paign rumors were floating
about town yesterday. One had it that the
registration books had been tampered with,
aud that names had been added on Sunday.
Col. Peter Reilly, chairman of the board,
•wasseen last night, and denounced the
story aR false in every particular. “It is
the most absurd thing ever started,” he
said. “How could anyone add names to the
lid Sunday when they had been turned
over to the printers Saturday night. It is
a malicious statement without a vestige of
truth. The registration has been a most
fair and impartial cne.”
The total registration is something over
2,800, a little over 500 of which are said to
be colored. Both sides were figuring out
their possil le supporters from the list
yesterday, and each seems to be equally
confident and claim a majority on the
printed list.
M’DONOUGH TO SCHWARZ.
Alderman McDonough made the following
statement to a Morning News rep >rter
yesterday in reply to Mayor Schwarz’s
claim of a breach of faith: “The breach of
faith was entirely with Mayor Schwarz’s
friends. I had no idea of standing for the
mayoralty until I was satisfied that his
friends intended to defeat me and
my friends. I have abundant proof
of this fact., In consenting to run on Mayor
Schwarz’s ticket myself and other gentle
men were assured of the fullest support of
Mayor Schwarz aud his friends. Whatever
breach of faith there is in the whole affair
come* from the other side,as I well know .and
the public knows also that Mayor
Schwarz’s political allies went to work to
use every means for my defeat in order to
bring about a change in the oomplexion of
tbe board of aldermen, the consummation
earnestly wished for and desired by certain
promiuent politicians wno are now actively
managing bis campaign. This con
dition of affairs applies with equal
force to the oases of Alderman Cann and
Bailey. Numerous friends brought me
this information, and the whole matter
culminated in putting in the field the full
municipal tichet, which I have the honor to
bead.
“I was loth to allow the use of my name
as a candidate for mayor, and only did so
at the earnest pleading of a large number
Of citizens of all classes, who urged it upon
me as a duty, in view of tbe present situa
tion of municipal politics.”
ALDERMEN CANN AND BAILEY.
Aldermen Gann and Bailey said that the
statement made by Mavor Schwarz that
they had told him that they went into the
McDonough meeting for self-preservation
was absolutely without foundation. They
said they met Mayor Schwarz Sunday and
told him their exact position in the matter
and he appeared satisfied and replied:
‘“Gentlemen, as far as you are ooucerued
““® re be no fight made upon you.”
** ben they read tbe now administra
tion ticket in yesterday’s Morning News
they found that their names had
been dropped. They called on the mayor,
and he said that he had done everything in
his power to prevent this action, and told
j the meeting Saturday night that he wished
to have both on his ticket, but his sup
| porters would not hear to it.

A SCHWARZ COMMTTE*.
An executive committee of twenty-five
was apfioiuted by the Schwarz meet
ing to look after the present
mayor's int* rests at the p ills to-day.
'lhe name of Tho . i as 8. Morgan, Jr., Esq.,
was among the number. That gentleman
was in attendance on the Guards’ banquet
when he heard of the action of the meeting,
and he immediately left the hptel to see if
the report was true. In an hour he re
turned, alter confirming the report, and ex
press, and himself in unmeasured terms about
the liberty with which bis name hail been
used. He requested a Morning News re
porter to state that it had been done with
out authority or oonsultntion, and that he
proposed to work and vote for Aldermau
MoDonough to-day, and had already so
publicly declared himself.
RESISTED AND WAS SdOT.
Policeman Bsughn’s Encounter WRh
a Frogtown Rioter.
Ben Coles (colored) was shot in the head
by Policeman R. W. Baughti last night for
resisting arrest and threatening to kill him.
The shooting took place in Frogtown within
about a block of where Policeman Cronin
killed a negro two years ago.
Coles was under the influence of liquor on
Bims street, aud another negro was endeav
oring to take him home. He objected to
this, and was cursing in an outrageous
manner when the policeman came upon
him. The officer remonstrated with Coles,
and told him if he did not keep quiet
and behave himself he would be compelled
to arrest him. The man who was endeav
oring 1 1 t*ko Coles home promised to try
and quiet him.
Coles stopped cursing and started off with
his friend. The policeman walked behind to
S’-e that there would be no further out"
break, and this seemed to enrage Odes, for
when he reached Lumber street, he at
tempted to break a wav from the man say
ing, “Let ine get at that policeman, and
I’ll show him no white
can arrest mo.”
The struggles caused both mo i
to fall, and Officer Barighu placed
Coles under arrest. He resisted, how
ever, and the officer knocked him dowß. He
mauaged to drag his prisoner to the
corner of Guerard street, wtien Coles sud
denly straightened up and, grabbing tho
policemau’s club in oue hand, struck him
in the face twice. He then released
his hold of the club, and catching
the officer by the collar with his left hand,
threw his right toward his hip pocket with
the remark: “I’ll kill you, you white
Officer Baughn drew his revolver from
his overc >at pocket and fired at Coles. The
bullet struck him over the left eye, and ho
fell to the ground with a groan.
A crowd of negroes had followed the
officer and his prisoner, urging Coles to
fight the ’’ policeman,” and as soon as
thii shot was fired they started toward him
with yells aud curses, threatening to kill
him.
Officer Banghn blew tils whistle for assist
ance, and holding the crowd back at the
poiut of his revolver, retreated toward
West Broad street. Ha met several
white man coming to his assistance
and with them he started back to see
what damage he had done. About this
time several policemen from the Central
railroad passenger shed arrived on the
scene, and iu a few minutes Mounted
Officer Floyd and Offloers Gaffney, Speight
aud Gaffney came up.
The crowd was driven ba k, and Coles
was taken to bis house near by. The police
ambulance was sent for and ho was takea
to the barracks, where Dr. Brunner pro
nounced his wound not serious. One of the
women who e doavored to incite the men
to riot was also taken to the barracks and
locked up.
The affair created groat excitemant, and
a report was circulated that a negro had
been killed by a policeman. This had the
effect of bringing a big crowd of people
both white and colored. When a Morning
News reporter reached the scene he
found all the negroes living iu the
vicinity gathered in groups along the side
walks, ami many of them were breathing
vengeance against the policeman. Another
officer was sent back with Officer Baugnu
for fear any attempt would be made upon
him.

DB BCTO WAITERS ROBBED.
A Negro Burglar Caught Breaking
Into I'heir Room.
Pilicemau Floyd captured a negro last
night who gave at the barracks the name of
R. Jackson. Jacksou was charged with be
ing a suspicious character. The negro at
tempted to burglarize the waiters’ room
down in the basement of the De Boto.
The dining room waiters had just gone off
duty and had gone down to the
room to put away thoir coals when Jackson
was discovered trying to break in through
a window from the yard side. Benjamin
Stoddard, the night porter of the hotel,
gave chase. Jackson, to lighten his burden,
threw away his overcoat, and his hat fell
off, but he did not stop to pick it up, and
continued his race for liberty. Mr.
Stoddard picked up the coat and
hat and abandoned the chase. About
five minutes afterward Policeman Floyd
stopped Jackson near Jones street and
brought him back to the hotel, where he
was identified by Stoddard, and was
locked up.
The waiters have been missing articles
from their rooms aud they could not ac
count for their loss.

CAMILLE LOISEAU’S ESCAPADE.
Tho Young Nashville Runaway Taken
Back to Her Borne.
The voucg woman who ran away from
her home in Nashville, Teno., and who has
been n the Savannah police barracks for
the last two days awaiting the arrival cf
her ancle to take her back to Nashville, is
Camille Loiseau, whose father, Joseph E.
Lolsean. wu formerly a halr-drawer on
Broughton street, and who left here several
years ago. He it now manager of the
Union hotel in NashvtUe.
The girl’s uncle, William Hyronaroous.
arrived from Nashville yesterday morning
and left with bis charge last night. The
girl said she was glad she was going back
home. The story of her escapade is an in
teresting one. The cause of her leaving
home as she did, seems, from both the girl’s
and her uncle's stories, to have been because
her fa*her undert ok to exercise a parental
restraint upon her actions.
The stor.es she told in Chattanooga ami
Atlanta are essentially the same as that she
told the police authorities here. Mrs. Made
line Zook, as she repreen:ed herseif to be.
but who in truth was Blanche Webster,
registered at her father’s hotel, and the
beauty of the girl attracted her attention.
The woman was well dressed and captivated
Camille with tales of her greet wealth, and
told her if she would accompany her to
Memphis to her residence on South Ala
bama street she would give her a position
ss companion. The girl was only too ready
to go. and on the pretext c f going to an
evening party she attired herself in a semi
evening dress, and, accompanied by the
woman, weut to Chattanooga. Mrs. Zook
borrowed the girl’s watch for a short time
the morning alter they arrived there. After
breakfast the woman took the girl to Look
out mountain and other places of interest,
and finally confided her to the care of a
hackman without returning the
atch, telling her she would be
taken to the house of a friend to remain
uutil she had attended to some busmens,
when they together would go to Memphis.
'The girl still mistrusted nothing, so the
claimed, and was taken to a house of ill
repute, where she was given a room by the
landady. After dinner she was told to remain
in her room until evening and that when
gentlemen callers came she was expected to
come into the parlors with the rest of the
girls to entertain them.
Then only did the truth flash upon her.
She ran from the house to a telegraph
office and sent several telegrams, and was
finally given a room at the Kennedv house
for the night,
Oue telegram she sent was to Joseph M.
Moore, at, No. 218 St. Louis street, New
Orleaas, to whom she said she was engaged
to be married. He was, however, himself
in financial straits and could soad her no
money ou which to cuine to him. Mean
while the Chattanooga chief of police re
ceived a telegram from Nashville asking
him to detain the girl until her father could
take her back home. She also received
word to that effect from someone in Nash
ville, which caused her all the more
anxiety. She said she would rather
i> anywhere than back to her father.
ler piteous appeals to be saved from her
father’s wrath had their effect on the sym
pathieaof her hearers, and a purse was pre
sented her to go to friends away from Nash
ville, who she said would be glad to give
her a home. She started at onoe for Sa
vannah, ei aping the Chattanooga police,
and arrived here Saturday.

THE SPEECHES.
After two hours of solid eating and
drinking had passed away, speeches were in
order. The first to respond wa3 Thoe. 8.
Morgan, Esq., who was introduced by the
presiding officer as a future senator. The
toast, the first on list, was
“THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.”
Mr. Morgan’s rising was the signal for
long and continued applause. He spoke as
follows: “Mr. Chairman and Fellow Mem
bers—You will readily understand my em
barrassment in view of the kindly words
our chairman has been pleased to utter.
My embarrassment is doubly increased
when I realize the immensity of
the theme and the insignificance
of the orator. Many other persons could
grace the theme with purer force of sLe
torio and embellish it with more lustrous
gems of thought but none there are present
to whom I will give place iu my affection,
ruy admiration, my adoration, iny love, of
that God-like character, whose natal day
wo celebrate, whose memory we revere anil
perpetuate. Throughout the civilized world
the ualal days of great man are observed,
and here In the south we are confronted
with the unexampled spectacle of observing
the birthday of a defeated soldier, Gen.
Robert E. Lee.
“Should the ever-increasing and develop
ing love of the southern people cease thus
to embalm and preserve bis memory, we
would be false to our traditions and would
observe and merit contumely.
“Lee was essentially a southerner, a south
erner by inheritance; a southerner bv edu
cation and a southerner by sentiment. Of
an ancient aud illustrious lineage, who
had long inhabited the state of Virginia
and who had been conspicuously
identified with the proudest ef
forts in that glorious historv.
Lae was a born soldier. From his earliest
infancy he manifested those traits of
character which presage mititary gra itness.
Two distinguishing characteristics were the
ruliug clemeuts of his nature—obedience
and devotion to duty.
“Hannibal was a great general; Caesar was
ambitious, and Napoleon was an egotist.
Washington fought for liberty and IMe
fought from a pure sense of duty
and fid lity to his native state.
How vividly is the character of the
man shown in these few words that ho said
to his army, when wasted and famished
and from sher exhaustion; when their
ranks were decimated by years of remorse
less carnage, they sui rendered to that
grand and magnanimous enemy, ‘Go home
and do your duty,’ IVhat did he do?
He went home and did his duty.
He did not, like Achilles, sulk in his tent
and grow morose and discontented. No!
He went as a professor to Washington at
the Lee university, and there by his precept
and example admonished the freeman and
youth of the southern land to become true
and useful citizens of this reunited country.
He did not ask political honors, which he
might easily have obtained. He did not
pose and attitudinize. A stranger passing
him on the street would not for a moment
suspeot him of lining the mail he was.
I trust iu God, hand in hand, heart in heart,
cheek by jowl, that these states will march
ou to a glorious destiny, t!ie regeneration
and rejuvenation of the political world."
Mr. Morgan’s speech was a series of bril
liant word pictures and polished rhetoric,
in which he portrayed Gen. Lee in peace
and war, and was throughout liberally
punctuated with applause of the most vo
ciferous kind.
The second toast, “Our invited guests,”
was replied to by Col. George A. ivlercer,
who made some very facetious and perti
nent remarks aneut the battalion’s guests.
THE VOLUNTEER SOLDIERY.
The old warrior, Capt. John F. Wheaton,
rose at the call of the chairman and reused
the whole assembly with his remarks on
"The volunteer soldiery of the state.” He
spoke substantially as follows;
“I wish that I couid express to you my
feelings upo i this subject. I have been
forty-three years in the service as a regular
and volunteer. I think that as a man
and a good citizsn he is
the highest type of manhood. Sad
upon occasion* of sadness; genial upon all
fostlve occasions: extending the hand of
fellowship to every' fellow man who is
worthy of fellowship; so generous aud so
full of good feeling that it seems to me
that they cannot be excelled by any class
of men that inhabit this universe.”
At the conclusion of Cant. Wheaton’s
short though well received remarks, he sat
down to the music of three cheers and a
tiger.
MR. HARTRIDGtt’S TOAST.
The fourth toast, “Wine, woman and
song,” was looked forward to with much
pleasure, because Hon. Gazaway Hartndge
was slated to appear at those magic words.
He enter ained his auditors in his own orig
inal and sweetly whimsical way, for which
be is now famous. He was at home on the
subject, aud was a well of wit and a mine
of mirth.
It was expected that Hon. Fleming G.
dußignon would speak on the state of
Georgia, but owing to some unforeseen
contingency he was unable to appear, and

ABSOLUTELY PURE
COL. SCREVEN'S SPEECH.
Col. Jobo Screven. responding to “Oar
Veteran Members,'’ said that be trus’ed he
might be pardoned for Introducing some
thing sorrowful at the beginning of his re
marks. To-dav be witnessed, he said, a re
markable iuciient. Soma twenty-fire
years ago there left this battalion a member
who went far weat and never returned until
to-day. To-day he came back, clothed in
the uniform of the Guards, and he sleeps in
glory in the uniform of his company, a sins
Sular instance of that esprit Ue corps which
as always distinguished this com
mand. He was a veteran
of the Guards. But let us
deal with tome of tho others.” The speaker
then told of the attempted surprise of Mrs.
Anthony Wayne by the Alabama Indians,
on the Gibbons plantation, in June, 1782.
which was the last of the revolu
tion in Georgia When the war ended tbe
colony was in a deplorable condition, its
w hole population not being more than half
of the present population of Savannah.
About nine years later the Guards were
organized under Capt. John Cummings.
Now its career has gone on for eighty-nine
years, "ready for service in three wars,
and in the fourth, the confederate
war, they were distinguished participants.
This corps in itself is entitled to be called a
veteran corps. Col. Screven spoke elo
quently of tbe corps’ valor at Bailors’
Creek, where eighty-two Guards captured
two oolors of the eueiny and trampled them
under their feet. The speaker concluded by
reciting the incident of the formation of a
youthful company at the University of
Alabama, and briefly sketched its eareer as
illustrating heroism and valor. Before sit
ting down CoL Screven proposed tbe health
of Col. William Garrard, who is ill at bis
home.
AT THE TH BATES.
Alexander Balvtni as “Don Ceesar de
Bizan.’’
Theater-goers were out in full force last
night to see the popular young actor, Alex
ander Salvini, in the old and famous com
edy-drama, “Don Csemr de Bazau.” The
expectations of the audience were fully real
ized. Salvini is a wonderfully versatile
actor, combining a graceful physique,
handsome and expressive features, and a
strong, musical voice of remarkable com
pass and flexibility. His interpretation of
the title role is most excellent, and he wins
tbe appreciation and approval of his audi
ence at his first appearance.
Nothing can be said of the well known
and popular comedy, save that it sustains
tbe old and genuine legitimate comedy
drama, with the praise it *> well deserves.
The company presenting it gives a finished
and artistic performance and amply sup
ports the young Salvini in * his splendid
delineation of the character of “Don Csasar
de Bazau.”
“The Waifs of New York.’’
Of "The Waifs of New York," in which
Katie Emmett and her company appear at
the theater tonight, a well-known critio
says:
“Miss Katie Emmett, one of America’s
foremost soubrettes, has made for herself a
most enviable reputation as a star, from
the Atlantic coast to the Pacific, under the
able management of Mr. Harry Williams.
For th 9 past few years Miss Emmett has
es-uved boys’ parts upon the stage almost
entirely, aud as “Willie Rufus,” the bright,
fearless newsboy, in her play, “The Waifs
of NeWjYork.” she has given the public a
strong piece of character act
ing. “The Waifs of New York
the play in which Miss Em
mett appears this season, is one of the
strongest plays before the public, and tells
a simple, touching story of the trials and
Bufferings of two friendless and homeless
waifs cost adrift upon the cold charity of
tbe wor;d in the great metropolis, and of
their subsequent rise to prosperity. It is a
play that teaches a gool moral and one
that should be witnessed by every mother
and child in the country, as there is noth
ing to be seen during its actions to offend
the most fastidious.”
