dolence to the Dead Chieftain's
Family.
Savannah wilt to-day honor in a public
manner the memory of Gen. Joaeph E.
Johnston, the great warrior who was one*
a resident of this city. This action was de
cided on at a special meeting of the Con*
federate Veterans Association last night, at
Armory hall.
There was a large attendance of veterans,
Gen. McLaws presided. He stated that the
members bad Decn called together for the
purpose of giving expression to the general
sorrow felt in Savannah over the death of
Gen. Johnston, who bad done socb valiant
service for the confederacy, and had once
been an honored resident of this city.
At the conclusion of Gen. McLaws’ re-
marks the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
THE PROGRAMME.

Aasociation assemble at the soldiers' monument
in the parade gr ound at 5 o'clock to morrow

tion and love of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, de
ceased; and the public in general be invited to
join with us, and the ladies especially to bring
floral off nugs.
Retailed further. That a committee of five be
appointed to carry out such arrangements as
may be necessary for the occasion.
In accordance with the resolutions, Gen.
McLaws appointed the following gentlemen
on the c mmittee of tweuty-one: Gen.

Charles White, Capt. J. J. McGowan, Col.
Peter Reilly, J. W. Tynan, and 8. K.
Theus.
The committee of five, to make arrange
ments, is: J. Gardner, J. P. Waite, J. K.
P. Carr, T. E. Besselieu and A F. Mar
melstein.
A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD WARRIOR.
The programme will consist in the read
ing and adopting of eulogistic resolutions
on the dead chieftain and the placing of
floral tributes around the monument. A
large crayon of Geu. Johnston, draped in
mourning, will be exhibited on the monu
ment during tbs ceremonies, at the conclu
sion of which the soldiers’ last tribute of
•’taps" will be sounded by the bugler.
The ceremonies have been fixed for about
the same hour at which G>-n. Johnstou’s In
terment will take place in Baltimore, and
the placing of votive offerings around the
monument and portrait of the dead general
is intended to symbolize in a small degree
the scenes which will occur at the tomb in
Baltimore.
As the time is too limited to make a mili
tary demonstration, and as Gen. Johnston
had many times expressed himself against
any great demonstration at his funeral,
confederate veterans thought it best to
adopt this method of expressing their regret
at the death of the great military strategist
under whom many of them served. The
veterans would like to have the floral offer
ing of the ladies at the monument before
the time set for the meeting. The committee
of five will be in attendance to take them.

and wag afterward secretary and treasurer
of the Vale Royal Manufacturing Company.

AN INTEhEStINQ CHILD DEAD.
Frank Idaho Courtney, Named for a
Locomotive. Dies from Tetanus.
Frank Idaho Courtney, the little 8-year
aon of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Courtney, died
last night at the home of his parents,
Tattnall street, after a lingering illness of
tetanus.
Eight years ago the Morning News pub
lished an account of how the little fellow
came to be named Idaho. His father is
one of the best known engineers on the
Central railroad, and was given command
of anew engine called the Idaho ou the
night of his son’s birth. He did not know
of the latter fact, however, until next
morning when he reached Macon, where he
found a telegram awaiting him, announcing
the glad tidings.
Mr. Courtney communicated the news to
the crew of the tram, and with one sect rd
they said be should name his boy Idaho,
and this was done a few weeks after, when
the child was christened.
Frank was a bright child, and his parents
have the sympathy of all their friends in
the loss which they have sustained. The
funeral will take place this afternoon at 4
o'clock.

FIGHTING THI TOLL-GATE
Tha City’e Suit Against the Vernon
Shall Road Company.
The superior court was occupied all of
yesterday in the trial of the case of tbe
City vs- tbe Vernon Shell Road Company,
to compel the latter corporation to move its
toll-gate beyond the city limits. At 730
o’clock last eight sn adjournment was taken
until 10 o’clock this morning. The after
noon session was taken up with the argu
ments by attorneys on the leg questions
to be referred to the jury.
Hie city is represented by City Attorney
Adams and Norwood & Crock, and the
shell rood company by J. R. Saussv. Esq.
The shell road company claims that under
tbe perpetual charter granted iu 1859 the
city has no power to compel the removal of
the toll gate without compensating it Tbe
city denies tbe right of a ly road cuporatioa
to interfere with tbe extending of its limits.
The case is one of greet importance to the
residents of the southern extended portion
of the City and citizens generally who have
business in that section. Under the present
condition of affairs persons have to j>ay toll
to reach their homes on a public street,
while the Vernon road company compels
them to pay without itself being liable for
taxation.
Quite a number of lawyers and spectators
we.e present yesterday, watching the pro
ceedings with great interest Among them
were ex-Mayor Schwarz, Aide men Har
mon, Cud and Bailey, Road Commissioner
Bourquin, and several residents of tbe city
directly interested. The city attorney’s
desk was piled high with legal authorities,
and City Engineer W inn had a profusion
of maps' os evidence. *
Tbe matter of the toll gate on Bull street
has long been complained of, and it was evi
dent to every one that the city would event
ually have to take some action to get rid
of it. -• •
Some time ago the road company de
manded (oil of Gustav Riesling for passing
to bis place. He declined to pav on the
ground that there was no law to compel him
to pay tU for driving tnrough :he streets
of tbe city. The company sued Mr. Kies
ling far the amount claimed, aud then it
was that tbe city stepped in and ordered the
toll gate to be removed beyond
the limits within twenty days
under penalty of having it torn down by
the marshal. The com, any asked for an
in junction to p; event the city from acting
until tbe courts could decide the rnalter,
which was granted.
Toe case is one of vital interest, not only
to Savannah but to the entire state, decid
ing, as it will, whether or not a road com
pany can prevent a city from extending its
limits because it holds a grant from the
state to operate a road.
BWEST CHARITY’S REWARD.
A National Testimonial From Tel
egraphers to Lizzie Annandale.
The telegraph operators throughout the
country are interested in a movement to
ii a substantial purse, as a testimonial,
for Mist Lizzie Annandale, the noted oper
atic singer who for some timo was identified
with the Emma Abbott Opera Company.
The immediate cause of this spontaneous
and unanimous notion of the telegraphers is
tbe recent disbandment bv the Abbott
Opera Company, consequent upon Miss Ab
bott’s death. *
It will be remembered that in 1883 a gen
eral strike of telegraphers occurred ail over
the United States Miss Annandale, a pop
ular favorite on the operatic stage. volun
tarily gave a concert in Baltimoie for the
benefit of operators who might need assist
ance, and! the first entertainment netted
the handsome sum of S6OO. She gave other
entertainments at various places where her
services were needed, and proved a blessing
indeed to the families of telegraphers. For
this voluntary action on her part Miss An
nandale is about to receive a testimonial
from the fraternity she befriended eight
years ago. ,
Savannah’s operators have never forgot
ten Miss Annandale. Every time she has
appeared here they have paid their respects
by personal calls and with flowers. During
her last visit here she was presented witn
a beautiful basket of out flowers, and the
operators have alwavs given her a hearty
reception. She has received medals from
all parts of the union, from San Francisco,
St. Louis, Cinflnaati, Atlanta, Augusta,
Baltimore, RaleSh, New York and Wash
ington, as well u from several Texas towns.
When the movetnent to present the teleg
rapners’ friend a purse reaches here the
Savauuah operators will do their share.

A LSTIEti FROM THi MAFIA.
A Threatening Epistle to the Solicitor
General Turns Out a Hoax.
Solicitor General Fraser yesterday re
ceived a threatening letter, written in
pigeon English, purporting to come from
the Mafia, threatening him with dire pun
ishment if he did not desist from the prose
cution of fruit dealers for selling cigarette*
to minors.
The letter aroused the ire of the Italian
resident of tbe city, who reply to it this
morning 4n another column, denying the
existence of the Mafia in Savanuah. They
consider the letter an insult, aud believo it
a hoax, -as.
The letter was in fact a joke perpetrated
by some o t the younger members of the bar
on the solicitor general.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1891.
AT THB WATER WORKS.
Supt. Manning’s Improvement of the
Buildings and Grounds.
Supt. James Manning of the water work*
has mode many improvements in the build
ings and grounds of tbe works within tbe
last few months.
The brick building containing the pump
ing machinery has been painted inside,
even to the floor, and presents the appear
ance rather of a fine private home
than a water works. The en
gines and pumps are polished to
>he highest degree, and a person can see his
likeness in the : raaaas, so bright are they
kept. The basement, which contains the
mains and suction pipes, has been white
washed and fixed up in keeping with the
floor orerbead.
New wbi-.swashed fences hare been pot
around tna grounds, acd the land in tbe
southern portion of the t act, which, up to
a few mouths ago, was over
grown with brush and weeds,
has been plowed over and sowed
with oata, making a very pleasing sight to
the eye. Gross has been i:wa in other por
tions which needed it; trees have been
planted. and two large and fine fl war
gardens have been laid out with choicest
rose bushes and japonic* trees.
One of these adjoins Supt. Manning's
private office, and the other is on tbe edge
of the pond. Everything is thriving, and
by May tbe gardens wifi make a pretty show
with their profusion of flowers. Some of
the rose bushes are already In bloom.
Supt. Manning takes gi eat pains to keep
every thing in fi st-clasi order, aud tbe ap
pearauoe of the works and surroundings
bears testimony that he is suooeaiing ad
mirably. He said he is sorry that the c.ty
will be compelled to at andon the site when
the new works are builc in Springfield.
The tract would make a delightful park
with but a small outlay of monev. It has
all tbe natural requirements for such a
place as regards shade trees, gardens and
lawns, and its being on the bank of the river
adds much to its importance for the pur
pose. It might be a good idea for the coun
cil to consider the matter when tbe new
wo: ki are built aud the present plant
abandoned.
Supt Manning says tbe boring of new
wells does Increase the supply of water, and
in support of his statement called attention
to the fact that before the two last wells
were bored river water had to be used to
assist in supplying the demand. The new
wells increased the supply to such an ex
tent that no river water has been used siuce
Dec. 29, nor does Mr. Manning believe
that any more will have to be
pumped. In regard to the theory that the
Bpringfleld wells will draw the water from
those at the present water works Supt.
Manning says its fallacy has been proven
long ago. He and Consulting Engineer
Jobnsou shut off the wells of the works for
a day to see what effect it would have on
the big 12-inoh one at Springfield, and the
supply was not affected in the least.

THE FEAST OF PURIM.
Religious Services and Gayety In
Honor of the Festival.
The Hebrew festival of Purim began
last night andjwill end to-night. Services
were held in the Mickva Israel Synagogue
at 6 o’clock and will be continued to-day.
The thirteenth day of Adar, which com
menced (according to the Hebrew calendar)
last night, is observed by the Jewish people
as a season of rejoicing. Iu observance is
not found recorded in the Pentateuch, for
it was instituted by the rabbis. The festi
val commemorates the deliverance of the
Jews from the vile plot of their implacable
enemies, Human and his sons. By the
providence of God and through the Inter
cession of Esther with the Persian monarch
the infamous decree was annulled, and
Hainan and his eons suffered the fearfnl
penalty intended to be inflicted npofl the
Jewish race.
The service of the snyagoguo embraces
the reading of the Book of Esther, with ap
propriate prayers and thanksgiving psalms.
It is a time-honored custom in families and
among relatives and friends to interchange
presents on this holiday, and the poor are
not forgotten, as assistance is always on
this day furnished to the needy.
The annual Purim ball commemorative
of the festival was held two weeks ago.
This afternoon the annual Childrens’ ball,
under the auspices of tbo Harmonie Club,
will be given at Masonic Temple. To-night

I TO BRING PEOPLE SOUTH.
THB SOCTHIRn' IMMIGRATION BU
REAU’S PLANS.
Commissioner Pembie in Savannah to
Organize a Branch Here—The Matter
to be Presented to the Board of Trade
and.a Pubic Meeting to be Held—
What the Immigration Bureau Pro
poses to Do -Savannah's Opportunity
to Advertise liself.
W. W. Pembie. conmikziouer for South
Carolina, Georg,a and Florida of tbe [south
ern inter-state immigration bureau, is in
the city to organize a local branch.
Tbe southern immigration bureau was
created by the mnthsrn immigration con
vention in Montgomery, Ala., in 1888. The
convention was composed of delegates from
the southern stats* appointed by
the governors, municipal authorities and
boards of trade and from each of tbe rail
way corporations operating in the south,and
state commissioner* of immigration, who
were ex-oflcio delegates. The movement
had tbe hearty indorsement of the govern
ors and commissioners of agriculture and
immigration of all the states interested.
An executive committee, consisting of
one member from each state, was appointed.
The committee elected Hon. F. B. Chilton
of Texas general manager. John T. Patrick
of North Carolina was made commissioner
of the department of associations and or
ganization, to establish a general association
and branches throughout the various
states.
PLAN OF TH* BUREAU.
The plan of local organization is being
carried out and Mr. Pembie is in Savannah
to organize a branch of tbe bureau here.
Its object is to bring to the south a class
of immigrants, calculated by means of
character, energy and skill, to build up the
southern country, to occupy and cultivate
its vacant lands, to advance its manufactur
ing and mineral interests, and for the gen
eral development of its resource*
Tbe bureau aims do this by advertising
the resources of the south extensively
through the northern press—through ex
hibits of southern products at northern
fairs—reaching thousands of people daily—
interesting aud impressing home-seek
er* and capitalists with the advantages
offered to them by the south, and also by
illustrated lectures and through agents es
tab.isbed in the prominent agricultural
and manufacturing districts throughout the
northern and New England states and iu
various other ways; bringing the atten
tion of the nortnem people to the
many opportunities offered those seek
ing Investments and homes.
To START INQUIRY.
Buoh advertising brings many letters of
inquiry and propositions for bus iness from a
desirable class of settlers. In order to bring
buyer and seller together these letters are
copied and sent to each local assocation,
and In this way each section gets tbe ad
vantage of the advertising, and has the op
portunity of corresponding with those seek
ing investments and homes, and of securing
many desirable settlers if they can offer
sufficient inducements. By co-operating
with this bureau the community gets the
(hi vantage of advertising that it cannot do
otherwise without an expenditure of thou
sands of dollars.
TO ORGANIZE A BRANCH BUREAU.
To this end it is proposed to organize a
branoh bureau in every city aDd town in
the south, to which all inquiries to the main
bureau, which is now at Raleigh, N. C., will
be sent. The bureau places advertisements
In newspapers throughout the north, east
and west, and in Canada. Every week
copies of the letters received are sent to
every branch of the association. These the
members of the bureau examine, and
answer such as they desire to.
Besides this mode of advertising the cen
tral bureau sends agents to the north and
west with exhibits of the resources of every
section in which a branch is located. In
addition to this, pamphlets and descriptive
matter fire to be distributed.
Another feature contemplated is the put
ting on the road of un advertising tram
with a car for each state in the bureau, to
contain a full exhibit of its various re
sources. This train will visit all the princi
pal state and county fairs in the north and
west.
savannah’s opportunity.
Mr. Pembie will present in full the plans
of the bureau to the board of trade, aid a
publio meeting will be called for the pur
pose of organization as soon as practicable.
He has just organized a branch in Charles
ton and another in Augusta. Florida is
already pretty well organized.
There is every reason to believe that
Savannah will, take hold of the movement.
Maj. W. L, Glessner, commissioner of im
migration for the Central railroad, is the
Georgia member of the executive commit
tee of lhe southern immigration bureau,
and is an active promoter of its work.
Savannah wants advertising, and the’south
ern immigration bureau offers the oppor
tunity.

witnesses to prove the theft, among whom
was Constable James Sullivan, the officer
who captured “Poily." After the state
rested its case and Judge Harden requested
the defendant to make his statement, Cdn
sta le Sullivan arose and said: “May it
please your honor, I desire to make a state
ment;, too ——”
“Mr. Sullivan,” said the solicitor general,
turning to the constable, “please sit down.”
James sat down, but in doing so he told
a spectator present that he was going to
“say something” in emphatic terms. Tins
remark somewhat disturbed the tranquillity
of the court, and Judge Harden, looking
gravely at the constable, said: “Mr. Sulli
van, you are an attache of this coqft and
you should know the rules.”
When the defendant bad finished his
statement, which was a very plausible one,
Solicitor General Fraaer told the constable
that he could take the stand.
Sullivau took a copy of the Morning
News from his coat pocket, spread it out,
and, handing it to the solicitor general,
said. “Head that, Mr. Fraser.”
Solicitor General Fraser read the heading
of the article pointed out, “Polly UDder
Arrest,” and smiled. Then the clerk smiled
and finally everybody smiled.
“What I want to know,” said the con
stable, “is how the Mobning News oaught
on to the exact words which passed between
me and that parrot.”
The query created a general roar of laugh
ter. The soli itor general read tbe rest of
the article, and then laughed heartily.
Judge Harden was unable to maintain his
usual judicial demeanor and laughed out
right. Then the prisoner laughed, and
everybody else joined in the merriment,
while the constable grinned.
If “Polly” had been present it would no
doubt have expressed Us delight by giving
vent to a quack.
“Well,” said Judge Harden, when quiet
was restored, “1 ani not a judge of that
matter and will simply nol. pros, the issue."
