Create a Stlr-The Whitfield Bill to
Coma Up Again—Mr Clifton to In
troduce a Bill for a New Voting Sys
tarn in Keet'.or.s.
Chatham oonnt y’s legi ’.stive delegation,
Hon. William Clifton. Hon. G. M Ryals
and Hon. Gataway Hartriige, will leave
to-night for Atlanta. They will be aroom
pamad by the representative* from adjoin-
ing oountiaa.
The legislature meets to-morrow morning.
Several important measures, in which
Chatham county is directly interested, will
be acted upon. There are 2S-I bids from the
last session remaining tc be acted upon and
any number of new ones will be introduced.
Mr. Clifton seid yesterday that he intends
to introduce a bill providing for the Aus
tralian or aome other eviteiu for the protec
tion of the ballot. He’thinks the public is
tired of the corruption that has been carried
on in municipal and county elections, aud
he wants to throw such a safeguard ar uind
the ballot that the purchase of votes will be
a matter of impossibility. Mr. Ciifion is
opposed to the use of money in elections;
and he wants to have a general state law
adopted to prevent it. He is not particular
about the system. Either the Australian or
one of somewhat similar character, which
will protect the pe pie and insure an honest
and uncorrupted use of the ballot, is what
he wants placed on the statute books.
THE OFFICE SALARY BILL.
Maj. Ryals will probably introduce a bill
to make the county offices salaried. He is
opposed to the fee system, as it imposes an
unnecessary tax upon the people. Maj.
Ryals is in favor of giving county officials
reasonable salaries. He and esu’t waut the
state to be niggardly in the matter, but he
doesn’t believs it just the proper thing to
have men making 80,000 and 87,0011 a year
out of the tax payers bv the fee
system. Maj. Ryals doesn’t believe in
paying a country treasurer or other county
official more than that of a bank cashier.
His bill will not t* a local measure, but
will be general, taking in the entire state.
Under a recent decision of the supreme
court no local measure which is alreadv
provided for by a general law is valid.
As the general law at present on the stat
ute books puts nearly all the oounty officers
under the fee system, a local measure,
therefore, would be of no avail. Maj.
Ryals Is In favor of either putting the
difference let ween the salaries and fees
Into the treasury or the common school
fund.
Representative Clifton is heartily in
favor at Maj. Ryals’ salary bill- He thinks
If provision is made to turn the difference
into the common school fund the measure
will go through like a flash, as the oouutry
representatives will heartily favor anything
looking toward an improved school sys
tem.
THE INSURANCE FIGHT.
A bill which will oome up for considera
tion at the coming session and which
has a ready attracted considerable
attention throughout the state is
the Whitfield Insurance bill. This
measure seeks to remove the requirement
to put up $2.5,000 with the state treasurer
by insurance companies before being al
lowed to carry on business. The friends of
the bill claim that the present law fosters
a monopoly, and keeps out other insurance
companies than those who can comply
with the law, and causes excessive rates in
Georgia. Representative Clifton says that
the Whitfield bill will provoke a good deal
of diaoussion, nut he declined to prophesy
the final result. The insurance companies
are fig! ting the measure with every means
in their power. Circulars have been sent
out to members of the legislature de
tailing the probable disastrous results
that will follow the passage of
the bill. Unprincipled companies
the circulars claim, will c ms into the state
with cheap rates, but when the day of
reckoning comes the iusurerw.il find that
instead of the substance he nas but the
shadow of that he relied upon for indem
nity.
Page Jack Murphy will aooompany the
legislative contingent. He is a portege of
Representative Clifton, who says Chatham’s
first page knows as much about running
the state as any member of the legislature,
and is one of the brightest boys in the House.
THU FIREMEN WtiRUN’T NHU DEO.
A Smoking Blacksmith’s Forge Calls
Out the Department.
An alarm of fire was turned in from box
B, comer of Bay and Jefferson streets, last
night at 9:40 o’olock. The fire department
turned out promptly, but was disgusted on
its arrival to find that there was no fira—
only a few coals on the forge of a black
smith shop. Policeman Frank Laraotte
was passing by Furlong’s shop, on St.
Julian street, aud saw smoke a id the red
Mate of coals on the forge. Thinking
the shop afire, he ran to the box and
turned in an alarm. His enthusiasm cost
the fire department a run for nothing.
Work had been going on at the black
smith shop until a late hour, which ex
plained tho bed of coals seeu by the polioe
mau.
It la estimated by thcne who are authority
in such matters that every run costs the
Are department over J 10) in wear and tear
of horses, men and machinery.
Alderman Held says that the damage
saunot be estimated, because on every run a
good horse is likely to give out or a c >s’.ly
machine is likely to be seriously damaged
from accident of some kind.
At the run in response to the alarm
turned in from Box (53 yesterday morning
an account of fire in a basket of clothes, a
good horse gave way in the hip aud will t>o
useless for some time, if not entirely so. In
the runs caused by boys ringing one of the
slarm boxes in the southern portion of the
sity by throwing stones against the box, a
good horse diei from the effects of bent and
sxertiau, and one of the trucks collided
with some other vehicle, damaging the
truok and throwing several inon to the
{round.
GOATS KEEP Sa&DY NOW.
The City Made sl7 Richer by the Goat
Crusade.
Alderman Bailey's goat crusade, which
led Mayor McDonough to issue the anti-goat
proclamation, has proven one of the greatest
blessings Savannah has ever had. It is as
bard to find a rambling goat on the streets
now as it is to get a drink on Suuday in a
saloon. The only ones on the streets are
those attached to small boys’ wagons.
The owners of the fes ive animals either
keep them in the yards or have sold them
to butchers to be served up to epicures as
•‘ohoice mutton.”
Nineteen goals in all were captured by
the police. Two of these were redeemed,
and the remaining seven!en were sold by
City Marshal \\ ade. Th e prices averaged
about $1 per head, and the city treasury
was enriched in the neighborhood of sl7.
A Si ght Fire.
The fire department was called out yester
day morning at 8:30 o’clock to a slight fire in
a house at the low. r end of Wal ' berg street
oear the Crematory. A basket of cl thes was
destroyed.bat the house escaped with a
slight scorching. Mrs. E. Dawson occupied
the house, and bad j ecked up the.

THIEVES ROB A SAFE.
Julian Schley I oees $20,000 in Pci else
and $250 in Bonds.
A bold burglary was committed on Bryan
street. Sunday night, which w.ll put the
owner of the property stoleu to considerable
inconvenience, bat will prefit the thief
nothing for his daring.
Julian Schley’s office, No. 116'* Bryan
street, was entered through a transom open
ing into a hallway, and the safe was opened
and robbed of several life insurance policies,
#250 in city of Savannah bonds and a gold
watch, a family heirloom, belonging to Air.
Schley's brother.
The burglary was not discovered until
the office was opened yesterday morning.
None of the occupants cad been in it since
Saturday night, a-d it is not known what
time between then and Monday morning
. the burgiary was committed, but as parties
passing the office on Sunday noticed nothing
wrong, it U believed that It was committed
Sunday night. Mr. Schley thinks that the
thief was wed acquainted with the premises
, from the manner ia which he entered and
left and that it was not a professional, but
probably a negro, from the bungling man
ner ia which the work was done.
An entrance was effected through the
the transom over the doer m the hallway
! leading to the offices in the rear and up
stairs, The thief found an easy entrance
; to Mr. Schley’s safe, which was prob
ably nut locked, as it bad n>t
been blown or broken open in
any maimer. The snb-vault was torn out
and carried off, and the papers in the safe
were scattered over the floor. The vault
contained all tbe papers and articles that
were taken. The insurance policies are of
no value to any one but their owners, and
the bonds are registered in Air. Schley’s
name and cannot be negotiated without liis
consent. That the thief did not have ttie
eye of a professional isevidenced by the fact
that the keys to the large safe in
the offioo were in the smaller safe, and
with them he would have had no trouble
in going through tbe large safe. Thesa
keys were found lying on t p of the small
safes. None of the desks in the office
nor anything except Mr. Schjey’s safe were
touched.
The thief replaced the trans m through
whioh he entered, and, moving a desk
which was against another door leading into
the hallway which fastened with a spring
lock, made his exit there, closing the
door behind him. He than went back to
Henry G. Qanahl’s office in the rear of Air.
Schley’s office, and finding the door un
locked, went in and appropriated Mr.
Ganahl’s shotgun.
The office of tho Chatham Real Estate
and Investment Company, in the same
building, was also entered, hut nothing was
disturbed there. Detective Hanley has the
oase in hand and expects to recover the
stolen property.
The transom windows which afforded en
trance to both offices were fastened, but
were forced, the screws which hold the fast
enings being torn out of tho woodwork or
broken off. After oponing the dour of Mr.
Schley’s safe the woodwork inside was
pried out with a coal chisel and a stove
leg.- The safe is an old-fashioned one, and
opens with a big flat key.
SHE WAN I ED TO KNOW.
A Railroad Ticket Agent a Colloquy
With An Inquisitive Traveler.
"Whendoes the next train go out?” asked
a stylishly dressed lady of the ticket agent
at the Central railroad depot the other
morning.
“At 7:35 o’clock, madam,” answered the
agent In his sweetest tones.
“Does it go by railroad time or citv
time?” inquired the lady.
"Railroad time, ma’am," replied the
agent.
‘ ‘Does it go at 7:35 o’clock by this time?"
again inquired the lady, pointing to the
large depot clock which bore plainly übove
its face tbe sign ‘railroad time.’
"Yes, ma’am, our trains run by that
time.” sadly replied the ugeat.
‘‘Thank you," said the lady,as she walked
down to ask a policeman which was her
oar and how long before it would go.
“These thing* make me tired,” exclaimed
the ticket agent to a Morning News re J
porter, who was siandlng near by. "Tnat’a
the third woman that has asked tbise
identical questions in the last ten minutes.
Aud the men are nearly as bad as the
women. W hat good does it do to publish
schedules in tho newspapers and to
put up signs? People won’t
read ’em. Why in thunder do
people ask if a railroad runs on railroad
time. What else do railroads run on now

painted in big red letters: “This railroad

It is a fact that nine people out of ten in

and five out of the ten ask if it loaves by
railroad or city time.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 7,1891.
THE FI A3 ENGINEER i.
Their Annual Convention in Epring
field, Maes., Next Month.
The National AssoMstion of Fire Engi
neers will meet in Springfield, Mass., Aug.
11. Chief Puder of this city is a member
of the association, and will probably attend
tbe convention.
The city council will consider the ques
tion of sending him at to-moirow’s meet
ing. The association mot last year in
Detroit and Caief Puder was present, and
received much valuable information. Chief
James A. Battle of Detroit is president of
the national ars >ciation, and Chief Henry
A Hillis of Cincinnati is secretary.
Fire and Water in its issue of June 27
contains a circular, a copy of whioh is sent
to the may rof every city iu the United
States and Cauada. This circular calls at
tention to the importance of sending the
chief firemen to the convention, and con
tinues as follows:
“Whether the chief receives a 6alarv or
not, the necessary expenses for attending
should be borne by the cities and towns, be
cause the city and town derives the benefit
from the same. The chief, in making the
trip, is endeavoring to qualify himself by ob
servation, the better to serve the department.
He goes, not for a junketing season, nor for
his own personal pleasure. His purpose is
to post himself on the latest improvements
in fire apparatus, the most approved
methods of extinguishing fires, and, in gen
eral, to avail himself of the wisdom and
experience of others. The cities and towns
can well afford to pay such expenses iu
securing this Information.
“Chief Lesbure of Springfield says: ‘The
exhibits at this convention will be the
most extensive ever witnessed at any
previous meeting; that extra efforts ure be
ing put forth to have all the latest im
provements in fire extinguishing and life
saving appliances before the convention for
exhibition and test.’
“These exhibits will enlarge the Hess and
broaden the views of all present. The impres
sion made w ill bear fruit in improving the
departments throughout the c untry.
Many of our members have been connected
with the a sociation since its organizvion
in 1873, and do not hesitate to acknowledge
that the information gained from their in
tercourse with other chiefs have teen of in
calculable value to them."

TO SHUT UP TYBEE’S BARS
! TERSE INDICTMENTS FCR VIOLA
TION OF THE SUNDAY LAW.
: Tne Superior Court Grand Jury Makes
a Special Presentment Indicting B.
Dub, C. F. Graham and James Lane—
Tbe Solicitor General’s Intention to
Y ipe Cut Sunday Liquor Selling.
When Solicitor General Fraser gave bis
warning some time ago to Tybee’s saloon
keepers that he would have them indicted
if they did not close their barrooms on Sun
day, many people smiled, among t .em tbe
saloonkeepers. They said the state’s repre
sentative didn’t mean anything.
The solicitor general, however, meant just
what he said. Yesterday afternoon he laid
the matter before the grand jury of tbe
superior court. Tbe result was that speoial
presentments were presented against James
Lane, Charles F. Graham, anil B. Dub for
"keeping tippling b' uses open on the Sab
bath.” The cases will be tried some time
this week.
Solicitor General Fraser is determined to
make the saloonkeepers of Chatham county
comply with tbe state Sunday laws. He
has closed the barrooms at Tnuuderbolt
and other suburban resorts, and
he doesn’t propose to allow
Tybee barkeepers to break the
laws without being punished for their of
fenses. He has given them ample notice
ani held off in tbe hope that he wouldn’t
have to adopt extreme measures. Tbe
saloomsts mistook the leniency for license,
but they have suddenly awakened to the
reality that they made a grand mistake.
Other Tybee saloonkeepers will he in
dicted also, and the solicitor hopes to have
the island an orderly and inviting seaside
resort on Sundays.

A telephone line between London and
Manchester, a distance of 206 miles, is about
to be opened to the public. It has been
found possible by this remarkably long line
for the residents in one of the places to en
joy musical performances which are going
on in the other city, while for the trans
mission of ordinary business communica
tions the service will doubhoes be of great
value.
Senator PefTer savs the Kansas railroads

italization is $456,000,000. The Kansas
farms, he says, are assessed at $168,000,000,
but are mortgaged for $150,000,000. He

sessed at their full value and are worth
but $18,000,000 more thau they are mort
gaged for. while the railroads aro assessed
for $397,000,000 less than they are worth.
Bupt. Epperson of the South Carolina di
vision of the Central system, is the re
cipient of an exceedingly handsome present,
of whic :he is justly proud. It is a mag
nificent stop watch sent to him by his old
employes of the Louisville and Nashville.
On the inside of the handsomely engraved
case is the following inscription: "To Snpt.
B. C. Eppersm, from employes of the L. O.
and L. division of the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad.”
In an action for negligence causing death,
it appeared that decedent was killed in
attempting to board a train as it was
moving past the station at a slow speed of
one or two miles an hour, the conductor
having told him to "jump on if ho was
goiug.” The New York supreme court held
that as he was in a safe position and under
no stress of circumstances, his attempt to
board the moving train while in proximity
to a raised platform, which rendered tho
consequences of a misstep possibly, if not
certainly, seriouß, was negligence as matter
of law.
The officers of tbo Order of Railway
Telegraphers ar.d of tho Brotherhood of
Telegraphers have failed to agree upon a
plan of the amalgamation of the two or
ganizations, but the two orders are oj-od
rntiug in efforts to organize all the
telegraphers in the United States, the
brotherhood taking in commercial opera
tors and tho order receiving only railway
operators. The order has voted in favor of
joining tho federation of railway em
ployes, but the council of the latter organ
ization demands that the two organizations
of telegraphers amalgamate before admis
sion.
It is stated in railroad circles in New
York that Hon. Joseph E. Brown has an
nounced his determination of resigning the
presidency of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association. Benutor Brown
has been president of the association since
its formation. Kis a Iministration of the
affairs of the as-ociation has, of course,
bean highly satisfactory to the members,
and his determination to resign has teen
widely disoissed. Senator Brown resigns,
it is understood, because he is no longer
connected with any road. The feeling in
New York is strong that, he should he urgu<l
to reconsider his resignation. The associa
tion meets in New York this week.
The Hciilway Aye says: A blue book has
been issued bv tne English government which
gives the official correspondence which led
to the purchase of the railway system of the
i land of Jamaica by an Americau syndi
cate. Tho correspondence shows that a
large and influential portion of the com
munity of Jamaica had urged that exten
sive and costly railway exto sions should be
undertaken by the g >vern:nens, aud indi
cates that as tiie works prop med might
double the debt of tho colony, tue local gov
ernment was not prepared to recommend
i heir construction. At this time "some gen
tlemen from the United States" expressed a
desire to construct some extensions, and as
part of tho scheme to purchase the sixty
four and one half miles of existing line, lhe
price offored for the sixty-four and one
fourth miles was £890,000, of which £IOO,-
000 was to be paid in cash and
the balance in 4 per cent, preference
stock of tho company to be formed to carrv
out the enterprise. The cash payment, it
was pointed out, would enable the colony to
ab-taiu from borrowing money for the pur
pose of constructing the bridges in Portland
and St. Thomas. This agreement was ac
cepted by Messrs. C. D. Frank & Cos.,
Hoadley & Cos., C. J. Canda, F. E. Cauda
and Elijah Smith, the American syndicate.
There was considerable correspondo ce as
to the desirability of dealing with a foreign
syndicate, but finally all objections were re
moved and tho line wss hauded over. The
first shareholders of the new company are
given as Frederick Wees n, Elias L. Frank
ami Ansiey S. Davis, aud the dinctors as
Messrs. Wesson, Frank, George, Henry
I nit ham and VV. R. Bailey, with L. F. Mc-
Kinnon representing tiie local government.
The Loudon Railway News,, commenting
on the book, 3pys it is strange that it should
have been left for American enterprise to
carry on railway extension in a British
colony.

The Americanized Encyclopaedia Bri
tannica
Is valuable tecause it is accurate, because it
is modern, because it has rejected the
worthless and preserved tho necessary, be
cause it brings the history of science, litera--
ture, commerce, geography and discovery,
aud the mental and moral development of
the race down to the year 1890. In its ten
large octavo volumes will be found an
amount of interesting and profitable read
ing of incalculable value to the busy man.
The historical record of every country of
the world, of every state and city of the
union, U brought down to the current
year. Its statistical matter is invaluable,
for it is taken from the very latest official
returns in nil cases. An additional inteiest
attaches to the Amerlca-dzed Encyclopct"
dia in that it is prepared in America for
America.,s, and that, while paying all due
atientiim to the grand reoorlof olden days,
it has devoted ample space to the story of
the present, the most important and pro
gressive of all tho centuries. The traditions
of a mythical past, the hoary records of a
remote antiquity, are not permitted to
usurp the space which is needed for a
description of the history and the inven
tion* of modern days. Not that Grecian lit
erature or Babylonian inscriptions, or the
story of Ancient Egypt, cr of the Dark
Ages and the Renaissance, have been ig
nored or neglected. All shat is valuable on
these subjects has been retained, stripped of
encumbering and la ored word-painting.
And, to bring the book into line with mod
ern thought, the most recent discoveries of
science, the gigantic growth of commerce
and manufactures, the political and moral
awakening of the world of to-day have liaen
aided. T ous the Americanized Encyclop®-
dia Britannioa offers to the people of Amer
ica a work so full, so condensed, so thorough
in its historical record, so crowded with the
latest informal ion, so accurate and relia
ble, that in this one work alone the reader
possesses a library.

Messrs, Lippman Savannah , (>a.
Dear Sirs: I wish to give my testimonial in
regard to your valuable medicine, P. P. P., for
the cure of KUeumatism, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, etc.
In 183, I was attacked with bilious muscular
rheumatism, and have been a marlyr to it ever
J trie<l a '* medicines I ever heard of, and
ail the doctors in reach, but found only tempor
ary relief ; the pains were so ba-1 at times that I
did not care whether I lived or died. My dlges
tioii became so impaired that everything 1 ate
disagree i with me. My wife also suffered so
intensely with dyspepsia that bt'rllfe woe a bur
den to her; she would be confined to her bed for
we-ks at the time; she also suffered greatly
from giddiness and loss of sleep.
Some time in March I was advised to take P.
P. P..and before wefniy wife and I) bad finished
the second bottle of p. p. P. our digestion be
gan to improve. My r ains subsided so much
that I haye been aoie to work and am feeling
like doing that I haven't done before in a nura
ber of years We will continue taking P. P. P.
until we are entirely cored, and will cheerfully
reoommend it to ail suffering humanity. Yours
▼ery respectfully j. g. DUPKIB3.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.
NO. 2.
By this time you have probably made up
your mind that you need not let slip the
chance to buy an instrument on aooount of
not feeling able to afford the cash outlay.
You have read onr Talk No. 1 and have
satisfied yourself that it is both easy and
sa/ to buy on the installment plan. Buch
being the case, let us eay a word about the
kind of instrument you ought to tar.
There are few things about which the busi
ness man knows less than the actual merit*
of a piano. He may be an excellent judge
of the value of all household furniture,
may be thoroughly posted in the values of
real estate, may bo able to build a house
economically, may be quite capable of ren
dering valuable assistance in artistlo fur
nishing of a home, but when he oomes to a
piano he has to confess his ignorance, still
we beg to assure you that his lack of
knowledge of this subject is not half as
dense as that of many of the people who
actually deal in pianos, and whose praise
of a particular instrument is guaged by the
profit they expect to gain upon it. Please
don’t consider us vain when we say that
this is not and never has been the case with
Ludden & Bates Southern Music House,
lVe have always considered it essential to
our business success that we have an inti
mate and expert knowledge of she musical
and mechanical value of the instruments
we repre ent, and we endeavor to give pur
chasers the benefit of this knowledge as far
as they will accept of it. Call aud ask us a
few questions. You will fiud expert
meeba ios ready to take a piano apart in
your presence and explain the value of it*
construction. You will fiud competent
judges of musical tone quality ready to
give you their assistauce in making a selec
tion, and when you have found a piano to
suit,you will havo the express guaranty of a
business house with a reputation to main
tain, that should any possible latent defect
show itself, you will have it made good
promptly and cheerfully. It will be safe
for you to see us before you buy.
