A meeting of citizens as held at noon yesterday in the city council chamber to arrange for the reception and entertainment of the State Agricultural Society, which meets in Savannah Feb. 11 and 12. Among those present were Mayor Mc- Donough, ex-Mayor Schwarz, CoL J. L. Warren, president of the cotton exchange, Hon. G. M. Ryals, Hon. William Clifton, Hon. F. G. dußignon, CoL J. H. Estill, Capt. R. G. Fleming, John R, Voung, H. P. Smart, Rev. T. H. Hie j us, A. EL MacDoneli, S. B. Adams, F. D. Bloorlworth, ('apt. G. B. Pritchard, Dr. A. Oetnler. Luke Carson, Aldermen Myers, Melanin. Carson, Haines, O’Brien, Maguire and others. Mayor McDonough was called to preside, and F. K. Rebarer. clerk of council, acted as secretary. The letter of Secretary R. W. Jem i?on, of the State Agricultural Society, to Mayor McDonough, which was before the city council at its last meeting, was read, as was also the cor respondence of Dr. H. H. Carey, who was in Savannah some time ego making the preliminary arrangements for the conven tion. a COMMITTER OF ARRANGEMENTS. After s'lme discussion as to how the dele gates and membors of the society should be entertained, the matter was referred to a committee of ten, which was afterward made a commi tee of twenty-one. It is expected that tietween 350 and 400 members of the saoietv will attend the meeting, and the question arose whether the city should undertake their entertain ment, whether it should be provided by in dividuals or whether the visitors should provide their own entertainment, as ar ranged, for by Dr. Carey. Special rates have been seoured at the hotels and at many boarding houses, and the majority of the members of ths society will stop at those places or nillbsentei taiued by friends. There was considerable discussion on this point, and finally Mr. Young moved the appointment by the mayor of a committal of arrangements, of which the mayor should be chairman, to take such steps as may be necessary for the holding of the convention, and to provide ways and means for the entertainment of the mem bers. THE COMMITTEE IN CHARGE. The mayor appointed, first, ten gentleman on the committee, and later the number waa Increased to tweuty-eue. The committee consists of Mayer McDonough, Col. J. L. Warren, I. G. Haas, J. R, Young, Maj. G. M. Ryals, Maj. P. W. Meldrlm. H. P. Smart, H. Myers, E. A. Weil, H. W. Palmer, F. D. Blond worth, Maj. John Schwarz. W. B. Stillwell, CoL John Screven, A. Oetnler, S. B. Adams, CoL J. H. Estill, D. R. Thomas, Capt. D. G. Purse, J. R Saussy and J. P. Williams. The entire work of arranging for the holding of the convention, the selection of a hall, the appointment of a clergyman to open the convention with prayer and of speakers to deliver the addresses of welcome on the part of the city and of the oottou ex change and beard of trade, and suoh other matters as it might be necessary to arrangs, was left with the oommittea. The committee will meet in tha mayor’s cfflco at 11 o’clock ibis morning to map out a programme. It is not unlikely that the society will be given an excursion to Tybee, and Capt. Purse baa arranged to give the members a barbecue at Deptford, the oldest plantation In Georgia. TO BTART UP THE OItEM 4.TOR. Housekeepers Must Keep Ashee Separate From Other Garbs?.). The new garbage cremator will be fired up Mouday. The rebuilding of tbs chimney has bea finished,and Savannah has now the isrgest and completest garbage cremator in this country. Mr. W. F. Morse, general agent of the Engle company, arrived from New York yesterday, and will remain here all of next week. The burning of the city’s garbage has ne cessitated the separation of ashes from the combustible refuse matter. Hereafter housekeepers will have to keep two garb age boxes, one for ashes and the other for other garbage. The ashes will be collecied at the same time as the com bustible garbage, but in a separate wagou, and will be used for filling in by the street and lane depart ment. The garbage collectors, in a number of cases, have notified housekeepers that ashes will not be removed, but must be dispolea of by throwing in the street or in some other way. The throwing of any refuse matter into the streets is in violation of the city ordinances, aud Mayor McDonough, in his inaugural, announced that this ordinance will be strictly enforced. An ordinance will be introdaoed at the next meeting of the council providing for the separation of ashes'from the combustible garbage, asd for its removal by the scav enger department. Bupt. Cheatham says that the ordinance prohibiting the throwing of sweepings and Waste paper in the street will l-e strictly enforced hereafter, and people in front of whose premises such accumulations are found will be put upon the information docket A BODY IN A WiLL. Evidences of a Murder Near Atkin son, Wayne County. Evidences of a mysterious murder have come to light near Atkinson, Wayne county. The body of a youag man 18 or 20 years ld was found Thursday about four miles from Atkinson, in an old well, In such a state of decomposition that it was impossi ble to identify the body. It seemed to have been there several weeks. All the outer clothing had been removed and nothing was left for identification. Near the body was found an old letter and the wrapping of a newspaper, and by putting pieces together were made out, “Capt. J. C. Damage, schooner Mattie E. Euton, Savannah, Ga.” Toe fact that the paper was addressed to Capt. Gumage and was fouud s i near the place where the body was found led to the suspicion that he is the party that has been foully dealt with, or that the body was that of some of his officers or crew. The crime is, so far as the coroner’s jury could get at it, shrouded in mystery. The body was buried near the place where it was found. J. G. Smith, foreman of the coroner’s jury which undertook the investi gation, is anxious to secure any Informa tion that may lead to the perpetrators of the murder, The schooner Mattie E. Eaton was here in November.and when she left here neither her captain nor any of her crew were miss Ing. She went to Satilla river to load lum ber and sailed from there for New York Dec 11, and arrived Dec. 31. If the body found hear Atkinson is that of any of the officers or crew of the schooner they were missing from the vessel after she left Savannah. Mrs. Mary J. Haupt Dead. Mrs. Mary J.

Theodore Meve* died last night at 0 o’clock at his residenoe, corner of Drayton aud Gaston streets, after a brief illness. The deceased was a native of Alsace, Ger many, which, until 1870, was a part of Trance, and came to this country about forty years age. He was a man of educa tion and sxtensive reading, and a great stu dent of uaiurii history. At one time he kept a museum aud garden at the corner of Bull aud Taylor streets. During that time Mr. Meves took a collection of rattlesnakes and three reptiles to Berlin, Germany, for a museum iu mat city. While handling the cages a rattlesnake struuk him In the forehead. The bite would have been fatal had not a man, whom he had helping him, sucked part of the pmsou out of the wound. As It was Mr. Moves cam* near dying. Though nearly twonty years had passed since the almost fatal accident occurred Mr. Meves still complained of the effects of the pfeison, and doubtless, though well adranood m year sat the time of his death, he would nave lived much longer had it uet been for the bite of the snake. Boon attsr his return from Euroue he was elected keeper of Forsyth place, which posi tion be held up to ths time of his death. He was a true and faithful man iu all his rela tions in life, aud was respected by ell who knew him. He was a member of Solomon's Lodge No. 1. Fred and Accepted Mam s; of Georgia Chapter No. 3, R. A.

Field's Minstrels Maks a Bous ing Hit. Qaite s good house greeted A1 G. Field’s minstrels a tthe theater last night, and saw a rsally good show. It was strikingly uslque in many of its musical effects, but was uproarious and full of wall sustained, genuine fun nil tbs way through. Those who say that minstrelsy is played out are mistaken. This company takes the Missis sippi river standard of “nigger,” and makes him more absolutely absurd than any roustabout ever dared to be, for fear the longshore “coons" would kill him. The artisan’s chorus was particularly fine. It was artistic. 8o was George Has sell's operatic rendition of “My Lore is a Bailor Lad,” in soprano. In that his voice was stronger and finer in tone than many trained female singers. All of the toloe were so good that discrim ination would tie unjust. It was a jolly hour of rollicking fun for everybody who was lucky enough to be present, and the audience manifested wholesome apprecia tion by almost continuous applause. Many old things were done over again, but tbev were made to appear iu anew way that was irresistibly comical. The company-will give a special matinee pei formanoe this afternoon and will play (gain to-night. THE AkMOSY HALL RECITAL. Mr. Sherwood Supaases if Possible His First Night’s Performance. Tbe enthusiastic anticipations aroused by the Sherwood concert of Thursday night were more than realized by the recital pro gramme of yesterday at Armory halL Mr. Sherwood appeared before a small audience, composed of the most critical musicians and music lovers of tbe city. Unlike many artists, who are often cooled by a small audience, Mr. Sherwood seemed to rise above the occasion, and certainly played with a warmth, breadth and brilliance never exhibited previously be fore a Savannah audience. He easily main tained his title to rank among the few really groat players of the world. It Is apparent, end Is indeed wsll known to those familiar with his career, that he has not only immensely developed the physical and emotional sides of piano playing, but bas striking and original conceptions of the great authors be interprets. No lea* remarkable are his wonderful memory and his great powers of endur ance. Ha is capable of plsyiug sums twenty or more consecutive recitals from memory, never refuting a single number. When it is retnemWvii that many of the works he plays oonsist of three or more movamsnts ahd occupy sometimes fifteen minutes in performance, the astonishing tenacity of ait biehiory is appreciated. The recital programme opened with Ghoplfc's Great Souate in B fiat minor, opfft 86. Mr. Sherwood’s Inter pretation of this favorite work was extromely noble and dignified. His massive yet tender treatment of the funeral march gave a keener pleasure than perhaps any) sing else on the programme. This waa fol lowed by tab Nocturne opvs 15, and then by the well-known Grande Polonaise op. 53. The latter is a favorite with the greatest players, and Mr. Sherwood’s immsmt tech nical force and facility ware shown by Ids rushing tempo of the terribly difficult oetava passage*. Probablv tbft most astonishing illustration of the artist’s great technique was by bis playing the Gettechalk Trclijolo. This it A foul* and /W-e of a most fasolnating kind. One listers with tbe feeling that ths player mutt positively give Way before the increasing difficulties, and yet he continues to crowd ths tempo and pile oue impossi bility on another until, with the final chord, ootnee a storm of applause that gives relief as well as expresses delight. It is not, however, on such exhibitions of virtuosity that Mr. Sherwood depends for his rank as a player. He is eminently a muyiplan with a highly developed aud poetic imagination. His tone shading and the remarkable clearness with which he bring* out the significant notes in a theme are alike remarkable. Hit reading of the Schumann character dances was marked, by great delloa y aud perfectly sympathetic treatment. It is bard to see how the celebrated Wipniawski concert waltz in D fiat could have been more brilliantly rendered. Altogether, it ta difficult to know where to atop ia praise of this really phe nomenal player. Description can give but a medjor idea at the brilliant and astonish ing. vei tb&ftighly artistloand musicianly, qualities of ms work. It is to be regretted that so many people missed, the opportunity to hear conoerts of such a high musical ordeh Mr. Sherwood plays at Atlanta to-morrow afternoon, where the advance sale shews that he will be greeted by another overflowing house, such os be played to in that oity on Tuesday ltut. CITY BREVITIES. Tho flags on the oustom bouse and on the revenue cutter Bout well were at half-mast yesterday, la respect to the memory of Sec retary Wtadom.

Wilkinson, manager for Maude Granger, is in the city arranging for Miss Granger’s appearance her# Friday and Sat urday nights, Feb. 6 and 7, and a Saturday matinee performance. Friday night “in herited” will bs presented. It is anew play, of which Richard Davey of the London Times and Mrs. Lucy Hooper, the well-known corre spor.dent, are the oo authors. Saturday night Mias Granger’s own version of the “Oreole” will be given, and “Inherited" will be repeated nt the matinee. J. Giliner, engineer for Haynes ft Elton’s mill, has inveated and patented a very in genious and useful article. It is a mail-box and door bell combiued. It consists of a box, aboutsix inches square, made of cy press, attached to a board twelve inohef long. A slot is cut in the hack of the box to receive the mail. The box is supplied with a kick and key, and it is placed on the iusiue of the door,in which there is a s’ot cor responding to the one in the box. The han dle to the box slide and bell projects on the outside of the door. The mail is dropped in the slot and the handle pulled down, the bell is rung, aad the mail can oaly be se cured by unlocking the box. Tho bell can be rung only once, but a catch placed near the bell oan be drawn back, permitting aa many rings as desired. THE RIVER AND HARBOR. Happening* Along the Wharves and Among the Shipping.

CAPITALISTS DO THE CITY THE PHILADELPHIA' 8* IMPRES SIONS OF SAVANNAH. Tbe Penn Mutual Life insurance Com pany Delegation Shown the City’s Commercial Faculties and Ite Point* of Interest—The Wharvee, Ware bousea and Cotton Mllla Visited—The Party Entertained at Thunderbolt— What They Say About Savannah. The Philadelphia capitalists, whose ar rival in the city Thursday night was an nounced in yesterday’s Morning News, spent tbe day sight-seeing. Ibe party con sists of H. S. Stephens, vioe president of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company; W. H. Kern, ex-sheriff of Philadelphia, senior trustee of tbe company; El wood Johnson, Charles C. Field, Robert Dornan and Charles Watson, trustees. Mr. Julian Schley, general agent of the company, and Maj. L. M. Warfield, preei deut of the Savannah Cotton Mills Com pany, took the visitors in carriages to Bona ▼enturs in the morning. The gentlemen were delighted with the scenery, having in their travels seen nothinglike it. The party then drove to Thunderbolt, and stopped at the Savannah Yacht Club bouse and partook of a lunch. On their return to the city they stooped at the Sa vannah cotton mills, through which they were shown by Ms j. Warfield. The visitors expressed themselves highly pleased with the mill. After returning to the city they were taken through the principal street# to the office of Mr. Schley, on Bryan street, where many leading citizens called and welcomed them. The party was after ward joined by CoL William Garrard, Ed ward Karow, J. P. Williams and 1. G. Haas. Re-entering their carriages, they drove to the Ocean steamship wharves and the water works. On their return they were taken to the oottou exchange, where they were ex tended its hospitalities. Here they viewed the harbor, and also Hutchinson’s Islaod, now the property of the Mid lie Georgia and Atlantic Railroad Company, in which two of the visitors are interested. A representative of the Morning News saw the visitors at the Da Soto last night. They are all solid business men of Philadel phia. Mr. Dorman is a carpet manufact urer of wide reputation: Mr. Johnson is an importer of silks; Mr. Watson is one of the largest dry goods merchants of the city; Mr. Field is a wholesale hardware dealer, and Mr. Kern is president of the People’s Bank. Tney raprensent wealtu and influence, being six of the twenty-seven trustees of the Penn Mutual Company, and officers and directors in nearly all the banks and trust companies of Philadelphia. Mr. Johasoa is at the head of the party, and when asked about bis visit, he said: “The agency committee of the Penn com- Cany felt that, owing to the growth of tbe utiuesi in ths south, it should pay a personal visit. The desire of the company ia to keep tbe standard of the agencies up to that of the main institution, thus protecting the pa trons of the company in all sections of the country. Tbe company having a large amount of money invested in the south, and a large number of agencies recently estab lished in the southern states, the committee is visiting those agencies for the purpose of inspection.” Mr. W a toon said the policy ef tbe com pany is to put the money it wished to in vest in those sections in which its patrons are. Mr. Field has not been in Savannah since 18(30, and be spoke very flatteringly of the citv’s progress and future. Mr. Stephens was in Savannah ten years ago, and he is surprised at the improve ments in the last decade. The vial tors spoke warmly of the hos pitality extended them by the citizens. Say whatever you wish aud w# will in dorse it,” was the way they put it “Sv vannah is really the most enterprising and progressive oity we have seen since leaving Washington. Her natural advantage* are unsurpassed. With her rail and water communication there is no reason why she should not become the foremost city on the South Atlantic coast. She needs more capital, and with hsr steady, solid growth she will soon secure that. Savannah cer tainly has a bright future.” When approached on the subject of tbe Middle Georgia and Atlantic, In which some of them are interested, thev said they preferred to leave that to the promoters of the company here. Tbe committee has traveled over a great territory, and several of them have been traveling in Europe, and when asked about the De Soto they said they were surprised to find a hotel of suoh splondid appointments m the south.

So everybody says, and the best evidence in the world that it is not so easy as people think is the low schedule of prices ruling at Sternberg’s Jewelry and Art Establishment on fine Silverware, Watches, Jewelry, Pre clous Stones, Fancy Articles, Brio-a-brao, etc. “Sternberg’s” enjoys a big reputation as purveyors of wadding and other presents, and their success is dus only to the satis faction always given by the goods. Any thing from a Silver Cup for the baby to the most elaborate set of single pieces of Solid Silver or fine Plated Ware can be promptly supplied at as low flgurs as can be obtained in any of the northern markets, and their prominence in the local commercial circle Is a protection against the misrepresentation or dissatisfaction that attaohes to purchases abroad. t Money is needed at Sternberg’s, and buy ers will find it to their interest to look over our stock and prices.

The Griffin Sews says: The Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad have taken off their passenger train between Griffin and McDonough, on accouut of the small pas senger traffic between the two points. The train will hereafter spend the night at Grif fin, and the schedule will remain the same. This went into effect last night, and the people on the upper end of the road will hereafter ride ou the freight traius. The following story is told by B. W. Ved der, a locomotive engineer now in St. Louis: “When the Kansas Pacific was first opened the Indians were very hostile, and there was constant fear that they would wreck the trains. That they did not is due to their ignorance of the iron horse and of the best methods of destroying it. One of my firemen had an experience with ths Cheyennes that be will never forget. He was on the road near Fort Wallace when he sa w that the Indians had cut ths telegraph wire and knew that he might look out for squalls. They were never satisfied with simply cutting the wire, but chopped it into inch pieces with their tomahawks to effectually stop the mysterious messages. As the train came near a large patch of sunflowers, which grew on both sides of the track, over 100 Indians rose up, stretched a strong rope across the track, braced them selves and prepared to receive the shock of the locomotive. As was afterward learned, they hud taken rawhide strips, braided them together, and, with a force of fifty at each end of the rope, thought they would be able tc stop the train. The instant the looorao *'Te struck ths rope the air was full of In dians. They were thrown in all directions. Soma were jsrked clear across the train, and m re than a dozen were killed or seriously injured. This was the last attempt made for years to stop the trains.” Ihe Hallway Age has this to say about air ships vs. railways: Th 9 last and present fenerations have been so prolific in pro ucing scientific and mechanical revolu tions that an incredulous age is becoming credulous, and probability bos become a synonym for possibility. This is evidenced by the large area of space which the dally papers are giving up to speculative articles regarding the “Mount Carmel air ship,” a model of which is now in a promising con dition at the exposition building in Chicago. Whether the promises will aver be fulfilled or not is problematic, but then, so is the air ship. The inflated character of this aerated vessel and of the capital stock of the company—a mere $20,- 000,000 —indicate beyond peradyentnre that one or the other will go up, but whether the ship or the company is a matter of painful uncertainty. The pathetio cry of the in ventor and prometor that the railways looked down upon him and did all they could to hamper bis efforts through pro fessional jealousy may be changed to a taunt of triumph when he looks down upon the railways from bis private supermundane traip flying over the first and only genuine air lice in existence. It must be confessed that the local rail way men are at least curious regarding the Mount Carmel air ship, although hope deferred has made them some what skeptical There is a tantalizing fascination in dreaming of something waich will deliver them from the self-assumed power of granger legislators and the ex uberant follies qf an ephemeral farmers’ alliance, so that the inventor of the air ship is in error when he cries against railway prejudices. Railway managers are really prepared to hall him as their Moses, if his air ship will run on scheduled time and demonstrate that roadbeds, bridges, ties, rails, switches, crossings and many other annoying and forever tailing charaoteristi cs of mundane railways are unnecessary.

The Town Agog Over the Slaughter. Levy’s promised special sale began Satur day, Jan. 34. Prior limited mention of it had the entire oity on the qui vive, and when the doors opened on Saturday morn ing. the scene was suggestive of the Theater box office on the eve of a popular ticket sale. Levy’s “specials” always draw well, simply because the public has learned that every promise is fulfilled just as adver tised—no hair-splitting, no evasions, no quibbling. The programme is carried out to the letter, regardless of results. Their particular “special” that is now on is the grandfather special of the lot—knookg out all past reoords, and fills the people’s pockets and carries dismay to the heart of competition, because nothing has, nor can equal it. The idea of turning out the Very Best qualities of Overcoats, Clothing and Underwear at Seventy-Jive cents on the dollar, Is something so very serious that it is hard to realize as fact, were it not that the reputation of a first-class, and the leading Clothing establishment of the city and state is behind the promise. The cause of this tumble In values is not shrouded in mystery, simply a matter of business. Our Spring stock is moving this way, and we won’t have room to store it unless we can run off our remaining Winter Clothing. “Desperate oases require desperate reme dies,” and this is most assuredly a “ground hog” case, and if our patrons and the public generally continue the interest shown thus far, Winter won’t haunt Spring’s lap very long. This opportunity will pay fHlly all who “gather” it—Men, Boys and Children can make more money by investing in Overcoats, Clothing and Underwear—even for next Season's use than by depositing in a Savings bank at four per cent, interest. You can figure this out yourself, and the cold invariable figures may prove more con vincing than any “say-so" of ours. —Ad. B. EL Levy & Bro. Jit c Cre£L*/ Order to-day for Sunday delivery.
