ENTERrAINMENT UNDER WAT.
▲ Citizens' Committee of Twenty-one
Appointed to Arrange for the Holding
of the State Agricultural Society
Meeting and to Prepare a Pro
gramme for the Reception and En
tertainment of the Members.
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,

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,

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.

Though nearly twonty years had passed

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JANUARY 31,1891.
AT THE THEATER
A1 G. 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

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.

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.

Money is Easier.
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.

RAIL AND CRO3STIB.
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.

LEVY’S SPECIAL.
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.
