' AFTER THE CLUB BARS.
TBS CITY ATTORNEY TO GIYS A
LEGAL OPINION* TO DAY.
The Cleric of Council's Latter to the
Cjfiethorp© Club and Col. Owens’
Rap'y-A License as Re'ailer and
Wholesaler Required Tae City's
Action tha Talk in Club Circles.
The anaounoemsat In yesterday's Morn
txo News of the action of Mayor McDon
ough, in notifying the Oglethorpe Club of
Its liability to liquor taxation, caused con
siderable talk in club circles yesteriay.
There is no doubt that the club will make a
tight in the c.urts before admitting that it
is a "tippling house,” in the sense of the
law. The city expects a fight, as can be
aeeu from the clerk of council’s letter to
.President Owens, which follows:
Savannah. Ga.. April 15. 1891.
0 I. Oenrge S. Owens, President of the Osjfe
fiorpe clul‘. Smasnak. On.:
Dear Sir—l am directed by his honor the
mayor to say that he fe-ls it his duty to require
your cui to pay the tat of sC>j -xa ted by
section sof the tax ordinance of erery whole
sale liquor deaW. ani alo the sum of SIOO. the
license exacted by section 13 of the tax ordinance
of persons selling liquor at retail.
Tbc mayor's unler tanbcg is that the club
sells to its member-, by toe bottle and also a:
retail, the privileges being also accorded to non- .
resident gentlemen who may be properly intro
duced. The mayor is advised by the city
attorney, that in his opinion, the club is liable
for tbese charges under the facts indicated
The mavor desires, in the event the club
denies its liability, to have the right of the city
tes:ed fn the way that w-.il be most expeditious,
and at the same t ine give the least trouble,
feeling assured, as he does, that it is the desire
of your club to obey the law and pay all lawful
charges.
Therefore it is that he requests that you will
be kind enough to let him know w hat the ciub
pr .poses to do in this matter and that you will
refer in the event resistance will be made: your
counsel to the city attorney so that they may
determ ne upon the best course to be taken for
the purpose of having the matter fairly deter
m.ned by the courts, with entire Justice to both
aides.
Asking your prompt reply, I am very respect
fully yours, Frank E Rebabzr.
Clerk of Council.
The reply of Col. Owens is as follows:
Bavankah, Ga., April 16, 1881.
Af- f <ink F R-txjrer. Clerk of Council:
Lear Sir—l am in receipt of your note of yes
tsruay. As soon as I can refer the subject of
yon communication to the executive commit
tee of toe club, I will advise the mayor of our
views Yours reapectfully,
Georoe 8. Owens,
President Oglethorpe Club.
City Attorney Adams was see a yesterday
about the matter. He aaid that he pre
ferred not to express any views except to
the mayor, who has asked his opinion. He
purposes writing a full opinion on the sub
ject to-day, aad he had no objection to its
publication if the mayor has none. The
opinion already given to Mayor McDonough
was verbal. In a short talk the city attorney
mentioned the fact tnat the oity ordinance
does not only require a license of
saloons, but of all persons selling liquor,
and the only question submitted to him was
the interpretation of thus ordinance. Mr.
Adams said that he is satisfied that the sug
gestion which sought to create the impres
sion that the saloonkeepers started a move
ment against the clubs is unfounded.
The city believes that it will win the
fight from decisions in other cities and
states in simitar cases, principal among
which is that of the Capitol City Club of
Atlanta. This club is almost identical
with the Oglethorpe club, and the city
ordered it to take out a license. The club
refused and went before Judge Marshall
Clarke, who decided that It was practically
on a footing with other liquor
selling establishments, and it had
to conform to the city’s requirements as
to lioenses.
The ordinance doee not say that a saloon
alone must take out a license, but any per
son who sells liquor. The Oglethorpe and
other clubs, the city claims, have
practically admitted their liability by
taking out government licenses, atid
it is a matter of record that the club’s
officers have to make an affidavit before
getting the license that they propose to
carry on a liquor business. As will be seen
by the letter to the Ogiethorpe, the city
demands that it take out both a wholesale
and retail license, from the fact that it is
alleged liquor is sold both io bottles and by
drinks.
If the courts hold the oity is right in tax
ing tha Oglethorpe the other club organiza
tions which have bars will also have to fall
inti line.
This is not the first time the olub question
has been considered. City Attorney A (lama
gave an opinion to both Mayor Lester and
Mayor Schwarz that the olub3 were liable
for license, but no action was taken.
Shortly after Mayor McDonough was in
augurated he made a request on the city
attorney for an opinion on the subject, ani
the attorney carefully consulted all the laws
on the subject before giving It, the matter
being under advisement for several weeks.
The written opinion of the city attorney
will probably be an interesting document.
The olub men of the city will anxiously
watch the outcome of the case.
JOaNaON’VILLE’S MILL BURNED.
Stillwell, Mlllen Si Cos. Have a $25,000
Fire.
The large steam saw-mill of the Bewick
Lumber Compauy at Johntonviile, on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road, together with the drying kiln, was
burned yesterday morning. The planing
mill and store were saved. The mill was
oue of the largest in the state, and was the
property of Stillwell, Milieu & Cos. of this
city, who are the owners of the stock of the
Bewick Lumber Company. It was
insured for $25,000, which will
fully cover all losses. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but it is supposed to have been
accidental. It is not probable that the mill
will be rebuilt, as its owners have another
largo mill at Hazolhurst, which is connected
by railroad with the same pine lands from
which the burnt mill drew its supply of
timber. _ 1
TO BE RUNNING BY JULY.
The Bavannah and Isle of Hope Road
to Tnunderbolt.
The right of way from the city to Thun
derbolt for the Savannah and Isle of Hope
railroad has been out out and will goon be
ready for grubbing and grading. The rail
road runs almost on a straight lino from
Estill avenue to the Thunderbolt race
course, there being oDly a curve of one
degree radius between these points.
The rails have arrived, and the wire
for the electric outfit is on hand, the latter
having been purchased from the proposed
Vernon Park railroad. President Purse
and the board of directors were out yester
day examining the work and were well
pleased with the progress which is being
made. The line to Thunderbolt will be in
operation by July 1.
Shot in the Foot.
MoAden Johnston, son of Dr. J. M. John
ston, accidentally shot himself in the foot
yesterday morning, Inflicting a painful
wound. He was praotloing with his rifle
in his yard at Taylor and Whitaker streets,
and carelessly rested the muzzle on his foot,
in some unexplained way the rifle was dis
charged and the ball entered his foot. The
fact of the cartridge being small and the
shoe being made of thick leather is all that
saved him from a serious injury. As it is,
the youth will be lame for some little while.

A FLANK ACBOSSTHS TRACK.
An Attempt to Wreck a Belt Line Car
on Montgomery Street.
At the conclusion of the rehearsal at the
■ Pompeiian park about 10 c c ock last night,
as Stage Manager Walter S. Gifford, Mr.
Wm. Leva!, and others were dis
cussing the performance, tey
were startled by the watchman
running up and exclaiming that he had just
discovered two negroes nailing a board
across the Beit Line track on Montgomery
street, where the auditorium overlooks the
street. The entire party ran out of the
{ark entrance and arou.d ti the track, but
the negioes beard their approach and made
their escape.
A thick biard was found across the
track with a couple of heavy nails beside
it. A car was approaching, and,if the mis
creants had been allowed a few minutes
longer, the car. which contained several
j people, w,-nld certainly have oeeu thrown
from the traez, possibly with great injury
to tee passengers and employes
and loss of life, as the cars
run a: a high speed along this
portion of the line. The car was stopped
and the conductor was notified of the dis
covery. M-ssrs. Giff jrd and Leval also re
ported the matter to the Mormxo News
on their return to the city. Tae belt Line
offioe was telephoned to know if it had any
knowledge of names who bad malice
a-rai-st the road to provoke |tberr to any
such an act. Assistant Superintendent
Dow replied that a negro who
had beea put off a car by
a conductor for disorderly conduct and
refusing to go inside of the car instead of
standing on the platform, which is against
the rules, had threatened the company.
The negro went to the company's office to
demand satisfaction. He was intoxicated,
and, of course, received no satisfaction. He
left, vowing that he would get even.
Another negro was put off by a conductor
on another car last night. It was thought
that perhaps ope or both of these men were
the guilty parties.
Mr. Dow went oat to the Pompeiian park
about 11 o’clook to investigate affairs. He
reported that the watchman said the partiou
whom he saw were boys between 14 and 10
years old. Mr. Dow said that he had
ordered a number of boys who were playing
ball in front of the oompanv’s office yester
day anl annoying toe conductors, away.
The company has had considerable trouble
with the crowds of boys, both black end
white, who are in ,the habit of gathering
near the office and along the track in that
neighborhood to play ball, and who by
their conduot have made things very dis
agreeable. The police have bean called
upon twice to disperse the crowds.
The board which was placed across the
track was a heavy 2xlo piece twelve feet
long, and would have wrecked the car had
the car struck it.
BABIES WITH SSOO IN DEMAND.
The Bush for the Little Girl Angel Ad
vertlsed in the Morning News.
"Is there a family that wants to adopt a
nice girl baby, 2 months old, for SSOO in
cash <”
The above unique advertisement in the
Morning News has attracted a good deal
of attention for two or three days. The
question was put iu a plain, straightfor
ward manner to the effect that there is a
girl baby to t e had, with SSOO in cash along
with] it. by addressing Box 36, care of the
Morning News.
Evidently there are a good many readers
of the Morning News who are willing to
take a girl baby with SSOO in cash. The
advertisement began iu Sunday’s paper,
and a number of answers were received
that day. Sixty-two answers came in Mon
day and more came in yesterday, making
the number of answers up to date about
100.
A number of the respondents came to the
office in person for further information and
wanted to know the why and wherefore of
the disposal of the baby. Nopa’ticuiars had
been left by the party inserting the adver
tisement, however. The question of the
child’s previous history did not appear to
be any drawback, however, and all of the
parties expressed their willingness to take
a girl baby wiih a cool half thousand.
An open letter banded in by o: eof the
applicants yesterday took eare’to state that
the $5 0 was no consideration. The
writer was a woman. Bhe was simply anx
ious to secure the friendless little angel a
home, where it would be surrounded by all
moral influences, and would be given proper
religious training. The letter had a very
religious tone.
One woman who applied at the Morning
News for the baby yesterday morning was
very much surprised that the little creature
was not handed out to her neatly done up
in a package and ready for transportation,
as it were. She was informed that her offer
would have to undergo the consideration of
the advertiser.
The answers to the advertisement are still
coming in. Any one wanting a girl baby
with SSOO in cash can put in an application.
There Is no unusual mystery about the
baby’s birth.
FOR THE PUBLIC'S INSPECTION.
The Publio Invited to Visit the Schools
All of This Week.
This is the week set apart by the board of
education, and so announced by the super
intendent, for the opening of the schools to
the general inspection of the public, and a
general invitation to that effeot was issued
through the oolumns of the daily newspa
per.
So far the atendanoe of the publio at the
exercises of the schools has not been
marked. In fact, the teachers have been
able to continue their usual work with
slight interruption from visitors. The
board of education, the superintendent, the
teachers and the children are anxious that
the publio and the patrons of schools,
especially, should attend and an piaint them
selves with the daily work of the schools.
Friday will bo devoted to speeohes, reci
tations and similar exorcises, and a large
attendance is anticipated, but this is ail
flowers and glitter, froth and foam, so to
speak, and gives no idea of thoreal work of
the schools.
TO BRING BACK KITCHEN.
The Yamaeraw Wife Murderer to Be
In Savannah To day.
Solicitor General Fraser was one of the
most agreeably surprised men in the city
yosterday morning when he read the
Morning News’ account of the capture In
Charleston of Murderer Kitoheu. Ho could
harly believe it at first.
Late in the morniug the solicitor received
a telegram from the Charleston authorities
officially announcing the arrest, and stating
that the prisoner was awaiting his orders. Tue
necessary papers wore made Gut and turned
over to Detective Hanley, who loft last
night for Charleston. He will return some
time to-day with tho murderer. The solicitor
general will bring the case to trial as soon
us possible.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22. 1891.
TO VIEW THE NEW PICTURES.
The Telia r Academy's Annual Recap
tion To-tnirrow.
The annual reoeption of the Telfair Acad
emy of Arts and Sciences will take place
to-merrow. The scale ny will be open to
the public between 11 and 2 o’clock to
new the new picture* recently added to the
academy’s eilieotioa, “Ictinus, the builder
of tbs Parthenon,” by Director Brandt, and
“The crowning of Charles VL at Emperor
of Germany” (1711), by Prof. Otto of Mun
ches.
The picture gallery has been rearranged
to same extent for the reception of the new
works. Director Brandt’s Ictinus is the
third of the four paintings in
imitation of Gobelin tapestry,
ultimately to be placed in the
frieze of the gallery. The first was Apelles.
This was followed by Praxiteles. The di
rector has already made several studies for
the Durer, which will be the fourth of the
senes. The firs; two, Apelles and Prax
iteles. have attracted a good deal olnatten
tion, and the director’s last work, which
will be seen to-morrow, he regards as
superior to either.
ictlnus, the great Greek architect, is rep
resented as a man of middle age. With
compass in hand, he is seatei on the
part.a.ly-rected wall) of the Celia, sur
rounded by the plans of this tarn >us Doric
temple. At his feet lie sons puchment
drawings which he is studying. Behind
him are three pillars of ihe temple, and be
yond them is seen the blue sky. The pic
ture is in the same style as the Apelles
and Praxiteles. It will be placed
in the center panel of tha Ir.eze
on the north wall of the gallery.
The other picture to bo sea i "to-morrow is
a cartoon 10 by 12 feet, the same size w tha
“Defease of Straubing,” by tbo same artist,
and represents the crowni g of Chirl33 VI.
as emperor at Fraukfort-on-the-Maia in
1711. The picture is in tue same stvla
as the “Defense of Straubing,” but more
striking. In front of the high altar and in
the center of the picture Charles is kneel
ing. At the high altar in the center is the
Archbishop of Mainz. At his left the
Prince Bishop of Cologne and at his
right the Archbishop Freising of Munich
are officiating In the crowning ceremonies.
On the right of the picture, In the fore
ground, stands Count Pappenhaim, with
staff in band, as master of ceremonies, and
in the background, in the royal lodge, are
seen the emperor’s family. These and
others are portraits of the persons repre
sented. The fresco In the museum in
Munich was painted from this cartoon by
the artist.
The picture is on the east wall of the gal
lery at the left of the entrance opposite
the first Otto.
Aside from the two new pictures in the
gallery the painting and rnodeli gof the
pupils of the academy will be on exhibition
in the Telfair room and in the
main corridor. The plaster bust
of Director Brandt, recently
presented to the board of managers by the
soulptor, Mr. J. Walz, will be seen in the
managers’ room. The bust is heroic size
and is an excellent likeness of the director.
The picture gallery will be decorated to
day, and to-morrow morning, and an orchsa
tra will play during the reception. Invita
tions have been s nt out to the members of
the Georgia Historical Soeiety. The
academy will be open, however, to the
public the same as at the last annual recep
tion.

THIS GOVER OR’j VISIT.
Col. Gordon’s Letter From A4jt. Gen.
Kell.
CoL W. W. Gordon i* In receipt of a let
ter from Adjt. Gen. Kell upon the subject
of tbe cavalry encampment and the visit
of the governor, the military advisory
board and bimse f to Savannah
Merchants’ week, dated April 18, in
which he said be had jugt seen the governor,
and that the governor desired him to say
that he had an appointment in Brunswick
on April 33, which would enable bim to
reach Savannah May 1, witness the parade
and military review that day, to visit tbe
encampment of the regiment on May 2, and
return to Atlanta that night. He regretted
his inability to be present at the tilt.
Col. Gordon replied, suggesting that as
tbe governor could not be present at the
tilt, much to his regret, that Adit. Gen.
Kell and the advisory board should come
anyway and witness the tilt, Thursday, and
remain to the military parade and review
FYidf.y, and the inspection of the cavalry
Saturday, if they could conveniently do so.
He suggested, however, that Friday
afternoon would be a more suitable time
for the inspection of tbe camp, as the camp
ends Saturday afternoon, and preparations
for its breaking up would necessarily be
made that day.
Gov. Northrn has an engagement to
speak at the meeting of the Georgia .
Teachers’ Associati >n at Brunswick Thurs
day night, and a reception will be tendered
him afterward by the citizens of Bruns
wick.
As the East Tennessee train leaving
Brunswick at 11:55 p. m. is the
only train on which the governor
could leave Brunswick that night
for Savannah, it has been proposed
to meat him with a special train at Jessup,
-o insure the certainty of his arrival in
Savannah Friday morning.
An Atlanta special to the Morning
s’sws last night says: Gov. Nortben has
been obliged to rearrange the programme
for his visit to the coast. He now intends
leaving Atlanta on April 26 for Brunswick,
where he Will address the teachers’ conven
tion on April 30, thus postponing his ap
pearance at Savannah until Friday, May 1.
The Official Orders.
Col. W. W. Gordon is in receipt from
Adjt. Gen. Kell of special order No. 84
from the war department, detailing First
Lieut James B. Erwin of the Fourth cav
alry and First Lieut. Colville P. Terrett of
the Eighth iufantry.as stated in yesterday's
Morning News to inspect tbe encampment
of the Fifth Georgia Cavalry. The report
of the inspection will be made direct to tbe
inspector general of the army.
THE GEORGIA ARTILLERY.
The Company’s New Guna Ordered
and to be Here Soon.
The Georgia Artillery is doing its be3t to
saoure its now battery equipment within
the next two weeks.
The Georgia Artillery is the only colored
artillery company in the United States. It s
armory burned some time ago and with it
the company’s battery,consisting of two steel
field pieces. Without guns the company
is, of course, unable to keep up its organiza
tion. Immediately after the lire a commit
tee went to work to raise money by sub
scription for anew equipment. It has now
#364, and has orded two bronze field pieces
from William Read & Sons of Boston.
They are expected to arrive in a few days.
Tne guns will cost the company S7OO,
and it is endeavoring to raise the balance
of that amount over and above the $364 now
on hand to pay for them when they arrive.
The money already raised has been sub
scribed by colored churches and societies as
well as by individuals. A good many lead
ing business men and citizens have also
contributed to the fund. Capt. Simmons
is anxious to raise the whole of the S7OO at
once. The annual inspection will take
place next month, and unless the company
has its guns by that time it will be in bad
shape.
Tne steel guns which went through the
fire tiie company is auxious to remount as
soon as it is able to do so, and it also hopes
to get a couple of guns from the state to
complete tho battery.
“THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.”
The Reserved Seat Sale to Begin at
Butler's To-day.
The general reserved seat sale for tbe
"Last Days of Pompeii” will begin to-day
at Butler’s pharmacy. Thera is a25 cc .ts
extra charge for the privilegd of a reserved
seat, which includes a comfortable chair
with a back, end there will doubtless be
very few Savannahians who will not avail
themselves of the added comforts, which
this small charge includes, to say nothing
of tbe indiscriminate rush which the
general 50 cents admission will occasion
each night.
Special arrangements have been provided
for the colored people, who are likewise
privileged to buy reserved seats in advance,
the sale of which also opens at Butler’s
pharmacy to-day.
The reserved seats are limited, and from
the iudieations but few will remain unsold
by the opening day, Monday.
The private boxes are also selling rapidly.
Twenty dollars for five persons for five
nights and a designated position m a choice
location is considered reasonable.
The chairman of tho Pompeiian commit
tee, Mr. C. F. Prendergast. cautions the
public to scrutinize carefully all tickets
and see that they bear his signature, which
is necessary to make the ticket valid.
SUING THE CITY FOR DAMAGES.
Sanitary Inspectors Claimed to Be Re
sponsible for a Robbery.
Anna Rogers, through her attorneys,
filed a somewhat interesting suit for S3OO
damages in the city court yesterday morn
ing against the mayor and aldermen of the
city. The plaintiff alleges in her declaration
that one ol the city sanitary inspectors
forced an entrance into her house, No. 2
Bay street, and in oousequence thereof she
lost a lot of jewelry and other articles. For
this she brings action against the city.
Tne petitioner states that no one was in
the house at the time, and that someone
took advantage of tbe house being left open
by the inspectors and stole the articles in
question.
