MARCH OF THE TROOPS.
GOV. NOETHEN REVIEWS SAVAN
NAHS SOLDIERY.
Briil'ant Display of the Military and
the Fire Department—The Parade,
and the Maneuvers in the Park—The
Artillery’s Salute to the Governor—
His Compliment to the Soldiers—The
Impression Made by the Display.
The military and firemen’s parade and
review yesterday afternoon were a big suc
cess. A more perfect day couid not have
teen wished for. It was neither too hot nor
too cold, and the soldiers moved with a
spirit and snap which showed that thay
felt the importance of making a good
impression. They succeeded in making
an impression, too, which, no doubt, will
show itself in the near future, as the agri
cultural society has among its members a
great number of legislators.
The streets and Park extension were
crowded with people, and the beauty and
fashion of Savannah were out in full force.
The south sidewalk of Liberty street, from
Bull to Drayton, was almost impassable
until after the military moved off. The
piazza of the De Soto was packed, and
every window on Bull street contained sight-
seers.
THE MILITARY XV MOTION.
The parade moved off a few minutes
after 4 o’clock. Assistant Chief of Poiloe
Kiilourhy and a detail of mounted police
led the way. Col. Mercer commanded the
brigade, and Lieut. Col. Peter Reilly had
command of the regiment The regiment
had out about 300 men, the Rlues having
the largest number, 40 men. The Guards’
battalion was out about HO strong, and the
Cbathams and Hussars had full ranks.
The lire department, beaded by Chief
Puder, followed closely behind the military
and made a fine appearance. The appar
atus was polished to the highest perfection,
and the horses seemed to enter into the
spirit of the occasion.
On reaching the Park extension the mili
tary marched to the western side, where it
was brought to in “place rest,’’ aud the fire
men formed on the south side, jutt outside
the Forsyth park inclosure.
THE GOVERNOR’S SALUTE.
The arrival of Gov. Nortisen was greeted
with a salute of seventeen guns from the
Chatham Artillery. After the salute the
military was brought to attention and given
the order “present arms." Gov. Northen,
in a carriage, accompanied by Cel. J. H.
Estill and Mayor McDonough, under escort
of Lieuts. Owens and Karow of Col.
Mercer’s staff, drove down the line, the
governor standing bareheaded and waving
is hat In salute to each command
as he passed. The governor was followed
in another carnage by four of his staff. Col.
J. O. Waddell, president ef the Agricult
ural Society, CoL T. J. Lyons of Carters
ville, Col. R, E. Park of Macon, and Cob
J. D. Boydof Griffin.
As the governor drove down the line, the
crowd, which hod up to that time beenfkept
back to the main walk by tbe police, surged
forward and cheered him. The p lice tried
to force them back, but it was a vain effort.
They wore determined to get a glimpse of
their chief executive, and they succeeded,
too.
THE REVIEW.
After reviewing the troops Gov. Northen
and his staff were driven to the eastern side
of the parade ground, opposite Gwinnett
street, where a halt was made to allow the
military and firemen to pass in review.
While the military was getting In readiness
the people crowded around the governor’s
carriage aud he was compelled to hold au
Informal reception, which was not on the
programme.
As the troops passed he arose again and
uncovered his head. As each com
mand went by Gov. Northen saluted
with his hat The soldiers inarched
at “carry arms,” aud never did they do
better marching. The bands played patri
otic airs, aud tbe scene was inspiring, many
of the spectators an vying the soldier boys.
THE GOVERNOR PLEASED.
Gov. Northen was highly pleased. He
said tbe display of the military and fire de
partment was maguifioent, anj woli worthy
of the city’s reputatUn. “Not only is tbe
military of Savannah something for the
state to be proud of,” he said, “but the
parade ground as well. It is a grand place
for such displays.”
Col Lyon of the governor’s staff was the
most enthusiastic man in the city yesterday
afternoon over the display. “Why,” said
he, “it is magnificent and almost beyond my
conception. lam delighted beyond meas
ure. I had no idea Savannah’s military
reached such proportions, and I am proad of
Savannah and her armed forces,and the state
of Georgia, as well, has reason to be proud.
This city has always Fad a grsit name for
military spirit, but I never knew how well
she deserved it until to-day. The fire de
partment also impresses me most favor
ably.”
Col. Waddell said the parade was a credit
to Savannah and well worthy of the repu
tation always borne by the oitv. Cols.
Park and Byrd also expiested similar senti
ments.
HOW THE VISITORS LIKED IT.
The delegates to a man were delighted
beyond measure, and lost evsulng it wae
the general theme of conversation urn on *
them in the corridor* of the De Roto. While
viewing the parade the visitors were pro
fuse in their expressions of commendation,
and last night they found time to sandwich
in between politics and agriculture a liberal
slice of conversation concerning the mili
tary.
1 o many of them the parade had evi
dently been a revelation. Some had been
in the city at other times, when the entire
force turned out, but they were few in
comparison to those who obtained, for the
first time, an idea as to what this military
stronghold of Gsergia can show.
a legislator's views.
“It was a great surprise to me. and to
many others as you will find in chatting
with them,” Baid a prominent member of
the society and a legislator. “I gave a
weak sort of support to Col. Reilly in his
effort to get state assistance for the com
panies, but it was more as a matter of
friendship than anything else. I had. In
common with many others, the idea that
the military was a mighty poor affair,
but the sight of such a superb organisation
es that we saw to-day, maintained by one
city alone, has materially changed my
views and those of many other men who
formerly entertained the opinion that
money spent on the military was money
wasted. The parade this afternoon, in
addition to being a brilliant spec
tacle and one of unusual
attractiveness to us countrymen, served
another, and perhaps a more desirable eui
It was an educator.
IT WAS AN “KYE-OrENER.”
“If anybody had told me that Bavannah
could show such military strength I would
not have believed it,” said another visitor.
“And yet they tell me that
with all the uniformed and equipped
members in line there would have been
over a hundred more. I had heard con
siderable about the Savaunah military, and
1 considered it mere boastiug. Now I am
willing to concede that it has not been
praised half enough.”
As another man termed it, the parade
was “a sort of eye-ope ,er.” It made nu ex
cellent impression and one that will not
easily be wiped out. In the future there
will be several hundred prominent farmers,
scattered throughout the state, willing to
testify that Sava nah has a military or
ganization of which not o >ly this city, but
ail Georgia, can well be proud, and one that
is deserving of proper support from the
state goveruruont.

by CoL J. L. Warren, reached the city ex

the t ime, and after Introducing tbe gov
, ernor Mayor McDonough eseourted him
around the room, explaining the different
mapa and drawings on the walla When
he reached the portrait ot Gen. Lee, in tbe
western end of the room. Gov.
Nerthen stood for several minutes gazing
: upon it. apparently in deep thought. As
he turned to walk off be remarked: “Avery
fine picture and a worthy production.”
By this time people began to crowd Into
tbe room, and Gov. Northen took a place just
inside the railing, at the entrance to the
chamber, and for three-quarters of an hour
he was kept busy shaking hands with peo
ple who called to pay their respects to Geor
gia’s chief executive.
Mayor McDonough and Representative
Clifton did the honors of introduction.
Among those who paid their respects to the
governor were Gen. Sorrel, Col. Olrustead,

Waddell and Vice President Bralwell, also
attended the reception, and the long room
presented an animated scene. Tbe visitors
took a special interost in tbe portrait of
Gen. Lee. ami one old veteran was h ard to
remark: “That’s the old hero I helped to
save at Petersburg.”
Gov. Northen had a pleasant word for
everybody, and seemed to enjoy the recep
tion,' all hough his ann must have been
tired when he got through.
Several colored men were at the recep
tion, and one of them, on being introduced,
presented the governor a neat bouquet of
roses, for which he leceived the thanks of
the ehief executive.
At the conclusion of the reception the en
tire party repaired to the cotton exchange
to partake of the conrtasies extended there.
The visitors were much interested in the ex
o'sange. The cotton figures interested quite
a number more than anything else.
Yes'erday morning Representative Clif
ton took charge of Mrs. Northen and
daughter, Mis* Anabel, and, accompanied
by Mrs. Gazaway Hartridge, drove to
Bonaventure and Thunderbolt. The ladies
were charmed with the quaint beauty of
the famous cemetery. At Thunderboldt
Mr. Clifton took the ladies to the yacht
club, where a pleasant time was spent.
They were very complimentary in thsir
remarks about the maimer in which the
surroundings of the club house are kept.
They returned to the city about noon, de
lighted with thsir morning’s drive.

he, “and the agricultural society and I
will never forgst Savannah aud the hos
pitality of its citizens.”
After the parade yosterday afternoon the
governor, with those ef his staff who ware
with him during the review, and Col. J. L.
Warren and others drove to Thunderbolt,
and ate oysters at the Yacht club house.
The governor was pleased with the

THE GOVERNOR AND GOtJLO.
Tbe New York World Commends
Northen for Hia Action.
There was considerable gossip yesterday
about the reasons given by Gov. Northen
for his refusal to meet Jay Gould in At
lanta. The governor’s explanation of how
he oarne to make public his reasons were
given in the Morning News yesterday for
the first time. The New York World,
speaking of the matter in its Tuesdays is
sue. said:
“The governor of Georgia was entire’y
right in declining to meet Mr. Jay Goulii
when there was no official occasion, and
merely for the sake of making his high
official position a tender to one of Gould’s
railroad combination schemes.
“Mr. Gould, more than almost any other
man in the country, is typical in his career,
his business operations, his wealth and the
means by which lie acquired it, of precisely
those foroes in modern life which are most
inimical to the popular welfare and the
permanence of our institutions. The gov
ernor of Georgia did well to decline to meet
Jay Gould under the circumstances.”

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1891.
TBE STEAMER SATIE SUNS.
Stranded on a scudbir Sixteen Mllee
Dp the River.
The steamer Katie sank yesterday morn
ing at 4 o’ciook, about sixteen milea up the
river and half a mile this side of tbe
Charleston and Savannah railway bridge.
There is no known cause for her oinking
except that she became strained and her
butts and top sides opened, causing
her to leak.- She left her wharf
about 1 o'clock yesterday morning
heavily loaded with a miscellaneous
freight, consisting of bulk goods mainly,
such an guano in sacks and boxes of bacon.
She won. it is said, loaded down no more
then usual, but she tiad to make her way op
the river against a strong tide, which caused
her, no doubt, to strain more or tes-.
About 300 bags ol guano were jettisoned,
and tbe steamer was run ou the sandbar
about six miles this side of Purys
burg. She had very few pas
sengers aboard and there was little
excitement among them. After being run
on the saudbar she bew her whistle for as
sistance for a considerable length of time,
which was heard distinctly at Puryshurg,
s.x miles a way.
Purser Weils and the pilot came to the
city in a rowb at, arriving here yesterday
morning about 9 o’clock, and after securing
the steamer Pr gress ieft on her for the
wreck at 11 o’clock.
The Katie n>w lies on the sand bank,
with her lower hull covered a little above
deck. Her machinery and all the top
hamper are entirely clear of water, although
the river is very high.
The Ethel, which got in last night about 11
o’clock, reported the Progress alongside of
the stranded steam *r. The Ethel’s captain
also tendered the assistance of his boat] but
it was decllued. Cot. Lawton, the owner of
the Katie, is away In the country, and
Agent Medlock is also out of town
attending the funeral of his wife. It is
more than likely that the sunken vessel Is
not badly damaged, and as soon as the high
water in the river subsides the hull will be
out of water, when s'ne can be easily raised
after being pumped out.
MR?. MARY E HARRIS DEAD.
A Venerable Savannah Lady Passes
to Har Final Reward.
Mrs. Mary E. Harris, widow of the late
Judge Iverson Harris of the supreme court,
and daughter of the late Judge William
Davis of Savannah, died In Miiledgevllle
last Friday. She was born iu Savannah in
1807, and was 83 years of age last Novem
ber. Her first chnroh membership was in
the Independent Presbyterian church. She
married Iverson L. Harris in 1826. and the
whole of her married life and widowhood
was spent in Milledgeville.
Her distinguished husband preceded her
to the grave sixteen or seventeen years. She
was the mother of twelve children, only
five of whom are now living, viz.: 001. Wm.
A Harris of Worth, the present secretary
of tbe Senate, Judge Charles J. Harris of
Macon, Dr. I. L. llsrris, Mrs. Dr. W. H.
Hall, and Miss Rebecca Harris of Milledee-
Till#. She has thirty-sir grandchildren
and about fifteen groat-grandohildreu.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Harris was attacked
with the prevailing influenza, and, with her
infirmity of years, human aid was power
less to prolong her stay among her loved
ones, and, surrounded by obildreu and
grandchildren, she sank peacefully to rest.
Her funeral took place from her late resi
dence Saturday, her pastor, Rev. D. Mc-
Queen, officiating. She had hundreds of
relatives and friends throughout the state
who could not be present to pay the last
tribute of respect to her memory. Her
grandsons acted as pallbearers—twelve of
whom were present.
AT THE THEATER.
"Boccaccio” Rendered by the Marie
Greenwood Opera Company.
Notwithstanding yesterday was Ash
Wednesday, and the beginning of the
Lenten season, the Maria Greenwood Opera
Company drew a large and fashionable
audience to hear the pretty opera, “Boooae
clo,’’ last night. The well-merited reputa
tion of this southern star aud bar excellent
company of first-class artists had traveled
in advance of their appearance, and the ex
pectation of a charming performance was
realized in every particular.
Mtss Greenwooa has a voice of remarka
ble compass; strong, sweet and melodious.
She gained the appreciative applause that
greets her wherever she appears. She was
repeatedly called to acknowledge the en
thusiastic enceres of ths audience, and her
solos were all beautifullv atd artistically
rendered. Her “Fimetta” was excellent.
Miss Julia Earnest appeared in the capi
tal part of “Boccaccio,” in which her
splendid acting and singing was greatly ad
mired. Tom Martin, whose reputation as a
comedian ot" the first rank is established,
made fun enough to amuse the most sober
skled judge. W. P. Guiberson was quite
amusing iu the comedy part of tbe
“Cooper.”
The entire cast is good, and the choruses
are made up of well trained voices, which
form a strong musical foundation to the
leading parts of this pleasing opera.
“The Hermit" will be presented at the
matinee to-day and to-night, and on Friday
night the company will appear in the ever
popular opera “Girofle-Girofla.”

| COL. LIVINGSTON AT PEACE WITH
THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Ho Will Defend tbe Alliance If tbe
Occasion Arla-s, But He is Not rook
ing for an Attick-Gov. Northen
Say a Be Will Not Make Any-Col.
Livingston Denies He Bad Anything
to do with tbe Past Trouble or with
the Colville Garnishment Proceedings
CoL L. F. Livingston, president of the
Georgia farmers’ alliance, is in attendance
on the agricultural society’s convention.
He is a member-elect of congress from the
Fifth district, having defeated Represent
ative Stewart for a renomlnatlon.
There ha* been a rumor floating around
for several day* that CoL Living
iton wa* the power which caused
the railroads at first to decline
to issue free passe* to member* of the agri
cultural society. A Morning News re
porter asked CoL Living*too about the mat
ter last night. CoL Livingston said he had
beard the rumor, but as far as he wa* cun
earned, he said, there is not an iota of truth
in it.
“I was on my farm," he said, “whe 1 1 first
learned of it through the Constitution. I
had nothing whatever to do with the
matter, and Gen. Alexander and the
other railroad men of the state will
hear me out ia the statement that I never
wrote a line to them on the subject one way
or the other. I know nothing of the cause*
of the trouble, why the railroads hesitated
at first or why they afterward gave
passes.”
CoL Livingston is considerably stirred up
over the matter. He doe* not like to be
blamed, he says, for thiugs he has nothing
to do with.
THE GARNISHMENT CASE.
CoL Livingston added: "I see it intima
ted that ths Livinuston faction is supposed
to have had something to do with the serv
ice of the garnishment on Gov. Northen
against Col. WaddelL In the first place I
want to say that I know of no such faction,
and in the second place, if it is
meant for my friends among the farmers I
will state emphatically that neither they
nor I had anything to do with tne affair. I
have always been a friend of CoL Wad
dell, and think he will make a good presi
dent. It would be strange, indeed, if my
friends or myself should try to injure an
association of which I am an ex-president
and a life member, and in
which most of them are interested. Furth
ermore, if by the Livingston faction is
meant the farmers' alliance, it is anything
but a faction. It is a body of 65,000 voters,
tied down to no men, but firmly adhering
to their platform of principles, ”
NO DIFFERENCES WITH THE GOVERNOR.
When asked about the differences be
tween himself and Gov. Northen, CoL Liv
ingston replied:
_"I know of no trouble between Gov.
Northen and myßelf. All I have to say is
that I am always ready to defend the alli
anoe against any and all attacks, no matter
from what source they may come. I con
sider it my duty, as president of the alli
ance, to do so. I have no
intimation that Gov. Northen in
tends to attack the alliance, and
expect Jno attack. The agricultural so
ciety and the farmers’ alliance are two
bodies whioh should work together in har
mony, and if they don’t want to work in
harmony their leaders should try and make
them. Both are working for a common
end.”
Gov. Northen was seen afterward, and he
said he had no differences with CoL Liv
ingston, and he has no intention of making
au attack on either him or the alliance.

COL. WADDELL ATTACKED.
Fulton Colville's Letter and CoL Wad
dell's Beply.
The Colville garnishment proceedings
were given added interest last night by
a letter printed by Fulton Colville
in the Atlanta Constitution, In reply to
Col. Waddell’s statement that that there Is
nothing in the claim of Mrs. A. Colville, in
which he makes a violent attack upon Col.
Waddell. The following are extracts from
the letter:
Editor Constitution: In to-day’s paper I no
tice that Col. John O. Waddell says there is
nothing in the claim of Mrs. A. Colville, who
was ' guardian of John and Fulton Colville,'
against him and upon which processor garnish
ment was served upon Gov. W. J.
Northen, in order to seize the salary
of Col. John O. Waddell as the incom
ing president of the Georgia Agricultural
Society. That is in substance a blackmailing
scheme. He may be correct about there being
nothing in it—for If we obtain anything it will
be more than any of his unnumbered creditors
have been able to do within the past fifteen
years.
“Col.” Waddell owes this debt, having given
his notes, which are unpaid. The ''colonel''
says the records will show this debt settled.
Tne records will show nothing of the
kind; or, if they do, they have been
tampered with. “Colonel” Waddell
s ya he will go to the bottom of tbis matter and
give the public a statement of it. The “Col
onel” will do nothing of the sort. 1 defy him to
do so.
Col. Waddell was seen last night about
the letter, and he said; "I have not seen the
communication in the Constitution, nor the
paper containing it. If the communication
is as reported, the advice of mauy wise and
promiuent friends here, given me unsought,
is that tba nature and character
of the article will not justify any
gentleman in answering it. The telegram
sent me yesterday from my home county,
signed by prominent gentlemen who know
me and tbe author of that article, and
which was printed in to-day’s Morning
News, conclusively settles in my favor the
garnishment matter. I promise to as fully
vindicate myself in the new charge he
brings to-dav, by the testimony of as good
and well-known men as can be found in
Georgia. Tbe fact that I am
busy with the affairs of the
convention, the further fact that the train
bearing the delegates who came in to-day
did not arrive, nor did I see them and learn
of this matter until just at the time for the
assembling of tbe night session, and the
further fact that friends, whose wisdom
and wishes I respect, so advise, will prevent
me from taking any further present notice
of the author than to begin, at the first
possible moment, steps to prove the utter
falsity of all his charges,”

Gossip Picked Up Here and There in
the Court Rooms.
Julia Hazel was yesterday morning

Valentine Day.
This week the young man and the gentle
maiden burden Uncle Bam’t postmen with
sentiments of a more or less poetic and ten
der nature. Enemies enclose each other
hideous caricatures of the other’s predomi
nant faults or weaknesses, and all the world
blushes, smiles, weeps or swears in accord
ance with the valentine received. We
harbor no enmity or ill-natured feelings
toward any one. We judge from the libeml
patronage awarded us that we have no
known enemies, consequently the divine
afflatus wreathes our pen and we send to one
and all this valentine, illustrated only with
gratitude and embellished alone with the
bright hopes for the future that the pa3t
has promised us:
Let the light of wisdom
Over all Savannah shine,
And Lev t’s Speciai, Sale
Be each one's valentine.
W e don't pride ourselves on our poetic
ability. We do take especial pride in our
Special Sales, because they strike a popu
lar chord and please us as much as they
benefit tbe public. List week, to adopt an
expressive Americanism, was a “corker.”
Our sales were immense, and the amount of
money saved to buyers would by calculation
become an imposing monument of business
sagacity and popular approval.
SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS ON THE DOLLAR
is a story with a startling moral, showing
the benefit of combining necessity and op
portunity.
The good work goes on. Genuine fresh,
stylishly made clothing gets in Us big licks,
and money savers have learned to look upon
Levy’s, If not as a philanthropic institu
tion, at least as a great protector of their
interests.
Parents bring your little boys, big boys—
come yourselves grown folks—don’t miss it.
