The regular meeting of the Confederate
Veterans Association last night was well
attended. Vice President J. R. Sausiy
presided. Considerable routine business
was transacted and several new members
were elected.
There was considerable discussion upon
the adoption of an association badge piu.
The report of the committee appointed to
select a badge was received and the badge
selected adopted. It is a cola pin about the sue
of a $2 50 gold piece, with the confederate
flag in the center raised, surrounded by a
raised wreath, enoircled by the inscription:
"Confederate Veterans’ Association, Savan
nah, Ga.”
It will make a very handsome pin. The
committee is authorised to order 150 of the
pins.
A PICTURE OF (JEN. M’LAWS.
At the conclusion of the regular business
Gen. MoUlashan, in behalf of the
association, presented a large size
crayon portrait of Gen. Lafayette
McLaws, president of the association. Gen.
McGlasbsn said it was a ‘'testimonial of tho
high regard and osteem which the members
of the association hold for their honored
president. It has been the custom,” he
said, “In all times to express the apprecia
tion and sense of those qualities which go to
make a man esteemed and distinguished in
his day and generation. Subtler
reasons than these prevail with us.
Iu tho time of war, when
the distinctions of rank made a
difference between those even who had been
equals in civil life and widened the distance
between humbler and higher rank, he was
always, aside trom the necessities of dis
cipline, courteous and kind in his inter
course with those under him. Those who
served with him know of his kindness of
heart as well as his gallantry. These en
deared him to his command.
A soldier's tribute.
Gen. McGlasban paid a high tribute to
the generalship of Gen. Mol.aws, mention
ing in particular the battle of Salem
Church, where with 5,000 men he defeated
20,000 of the enemv. He referred to the
hardship wrought upon him by the war,
deprived of his chosen profession, to which
he had been eduoated. Concluding, be
said: “1 beg to present you with this
beautiful crayon portrait of Gen. McLaws.”
Veteran J. P. White unveiled the picture,
and at the same time a burst of applause
came from the veterans.
Vice President Saussy briefly returned
the thanks of the association to Gen. Mc-
Glasban. He said they were Droud to pos
sess the pioture of one who was bo truo
and brave a soldier and who had acquitted
himself of the duties of private citizenship
so as to win the love and admiration of all
who knew him.
GEN. JOHNSTON’S PICTURE.
A picture of Gen. Jos. E. Johnston was
received from Veteran H. Gardiner.
The picture of Gen. McLaws was ranged
by the side of President Jefferson Davis,
with the smaller picture of Gen. Johnston
surmounting that of President Davis.
Gen. McLaws’ picture is a crayon por
trait copied from a photograph taken a few
years ago. The picture represents him in
his major-general’s uniform. The veterans
generally oomplimeuted the picture upon
its close resemblance to the genial.
WANTS TO BRING CONGRESS.
Capt. Purse’a Plan to Secure the
Needed appropriation for the River.
Capt. D. G. Purse, chairman of the river
and harbor improvement committee, has
another unique plan for creating favorable
sentiment and getting congress to vote a
sufflcent appropriation for tbe twonty-six
fooc project. Tbe idea is the most novel
yet proposed, but whether it will be carried
into execution is something which will
be decided later on.
It is nothing less than to bring congress to
inspect tho harbor. Capt- Purse wants to
take tho Kansas City to Washington and
invite the congressmen and senators and
President Harrison and his cabinet to
Savannah and get a practical idea of what
is needed to make this port one of tho
leading ports of the Atlantic. He thinks
the invitation might ba accepted, and if it
is that the result will be an almost unani
mous vote to give Savannah what It wants.
The reception to President Harrison aud
congress, should Capt. Purse’s idea be car
ried into effect, would be one of the grand
est affairs evor seen in Savannah. If ihe
national legislators get a taste of Savan
nah’s hospitality they will be as enthusias
tic over deep water as the Georgia
legislature is.
A meeting of tbe committee will be held
to-morrow, and the matter may be brought
tip for discus-ion then.
ONLY ONE WANT did TO GO.
Although Chatham la Entitled to Six
Pupils In the Normal School.
Supt. W. H. Baker held an examination
yesterday of applicants for admission to the
Girls’ Normal School at Milledgeville, as ad
vertised. Onlv one applicant appeared for
examination, Miss Agnes Sutton. She will
probably receive a certificate. Several
other young ladies stated their desire to at
tend, but are not able todo so on account of
the expense, tho pupils having their board
and all expenses to pay.
Supt. Baker says ho does not think tbe
school will be of any great benefit to the
state at largo on this account. The tuition,
■which will be free to as many students
from each ctmuty as there are representa
tives frcm that county in the legislature,
is the smallest part of the necessary ex
pense incurred.
Those in the near neighborhood, who
will be able to live at their own bombs or
with their friends or relatives, wiil receive
the beneflt of the school.
THE NEW WATER WORKS.
Work on the Buildings to Commence
About Nov. 1.
Alderman Cann, chairman of the city
council water committee, says that the pro
posals for the new water works buildings
will be called for just as soon as tbe parties
who havo been awarded the engine and
boiler contracts hand in their specifications
as to tbe style of buildings required to ac
commodate the machinery.
The building will be of brick, and Aider
man Cann hopes to have the work of erect

SOUTH CAROLINA’S BIOS CBOP.
Pretty Berlouely Damaged by the Re
cent Bains.
The Seuth Caroliua rioe planter* do not
seem to be as well off as those around Sa
vannah. A Coinbahee planter says to the
News and Courier concerning tbe effect of
the rains on the crop:
“Heavy rains commenced about ten days
ago and have been almou continuous over
since producing the highest freshets known
for year in the Eilisto. Ashopoo, Combahee
and Coosawhatchie rivers.
“Ail tbe upper plantations on these rivers
are submerged, and will sustain Heavy loss
both iu the quantity and quality of the rice |
prodtioed. All of the young rice overflowed
will be destroyed, and all of that older rice ,
which is ready to out and overflowed will j
sprout and boa total loss unless the water
recedes at once. The only thing that has
| saved tbe lower plantations has been the
westerlv winds, which have driven off the
tides and taken off a great deal of the
freshet water. If tbe winds had been east
erly and the tides been driven in, tbe loss
would have been very great.
"If the rain stops in a few days the dam
age will not boas serious as was expected,
hut what has already happened will affect
tho crop materially both in quality and
quantity.
“Borne of the planters in the upper parts
of tbe several rivers will be heavy losers,
one of them, on the Savannah train on Sat
urday evening, stating that ho would not
make a single bushel.
“All of the rice crops on inland planta
tions, which were supplied by reserv b, are
very seriously damaged. Fortunately but
very few planters have commenced cutting,
or the losses would have been much heavier.
The same floods three weeks later in the
season would have imperiled the entire
rioe crop in this section.'
“I was told this evening by a gentleman
just from Cooper river that tbe prospects
there are ns bad or worse than ours in Com
bahee, all of the upper plantations being
under water and the freshets being the
heaviest known in years.”
THE SUIT3 NCT YET FILED.
The Claims to the Prendergast Prop
erly Cause a Sensation.
Mr. Preston has not yet filed his suit for
the recovery of the Prenderg ist tract for
the heirs of Airs. Millen, and will probably
not do so for several days, because there are
about 100 persons who will have to bo made
parties defendant to the suit, and it will
take some time to hunt them up.
Tho case has aroused great interest, al
most as much as when the Bolton heirs sev
eral years ago made claim to the biggest
portion of Savannah. It was the principal
topio yesterday among tho members of the
bar, the majority of whom think Mr. Pres
ton has no ease.
Air. Prendergast was seen by a Morning
News roportor. He was amused at the suit.
He said it is not costing him a moment’s
worry, nor need it cost the purchasers of
portion* of the traot any worry.
“Tne titles are absolutely impregnable,”
said Mr. Prendergast. “They have been
passed upon by some of the most learned
members of tho bar, and had there been
any flaw about them it would have
been discovered long ago. Among
tbo lawyers who passed upon the titles was
the old law firm of Jackson, Lawton &
Bassenger, John M. Guerard, Ess., ex-Judge
A. P. Adams, before he was elevated to tuo
bench, City Attorney 8. B. Adams, when tho
city purchased street rights through the
tract, Denmark, Adams & Adams as a
firm, U. H. McLaws, Esq., and Rockwell &
Morgan. ”
The original Prendergast tract included a
portion of tho parade ground and ten acres
in Waringville, besides the present property,
which is bounded by Anderson street on the
north, on the south by the north lino of the
lots on the north side of Second street, on
the east by within two lots of Habersham
street, and ou the west by Bull street.
The faot of a portion of the parade ground
being included in the claim of the Millen
heirs, and the purchase of streets in the
Prendergast tract will oompel the city to
become party defendant to the suit.
BETTER QUALIFIED TEACHERS.
What Georgia Wants in Its Public
Schools.
Bupt. Baker of the public schools has re
turned from YVaycross, where ho took part
in tbe Peabody Institute for teachers, held
by Btato School Commissioner Bradwoll at
that place. He says the institute was very
successful, considering the short tune at the
disposal of the instructors. About seventy
five white teachers and fifty colored teach
ers were in attendance.
Supt. Baker was impressed with
the faot that the great
need of Georgia is properly qualified teach
ers for her schools. The teachers of the
public schools of the state are many of
them in great need of instruction them
selves. The Peabody institute did god,
but was of too short duration to more thin
make the beginning iu the accomplishment
of all that is r.eaJed.
Supt. Baker said that the kindness of the
people of Way or oss to the visiting teachers
and instructors was especially marked,
ANOTHER OFFICE GOES.
J. C. Shaw's Cfflco as Traveling Pas
senger Agent abolished.
J. C. Shaw, for the last fifteen years con
nected with the passenger department of
the Central railroad, will retire from the
company’s employ Oct. 1. His office as
traveling pnsienger agent with head
quarters at Savannah has been abolished by
the new management to cut down
expenses.
Mr. Shaw is one of the most widely
known of the employes of the Central rail
road. Prior to his appointment as travel
ing passenger agent he was general travel

CLUB3ED BY THE MAESHAL
Herman J. Leutz Under Arrest for As
sault With Intent to Murder.
Herman J. Leutz. Marshal of Warsaw,
•yns arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer
W. P. Cole of Justice Waring Russell's
court on two warrants, one for assault with
intent to murder and one for pointing a
pistol at another. Tbe warrants were
1 sworn out by L. Byres and his wife, Fred
ericks, whom Leutz is alleged to have
j brutally clubbed. Tho marshal gave bond
for $1,300 for his appearance at tbe next
term of tbe superior court.
The difficulty occurred about noon yes
terday. Byres has for years made a living
by digging and selling oysters. He had a
colored man in his employ, and early yes
terday morning he sent him out to dig oys
ters on a place which be claims to have
ieaßodfrom Mr. Parsons.
Marshal Leutz saw the negro at work and
ordered him off, on the ground that ho was
on Mr. Ambrose’* property. The negro re
fused to leave, and be was arrested by tbe
marshal.
Byres saw the man on bis way to the
lockup in charge of tbe marshal, and going
up to Leutz, remonstrated with him. A
hot controversy resulted. After locking up
the negro Leutz went to Byres’ house, ac
cording to the latter’s statement, to arrest
him, but he refused to go. The marshal
drew bis pistol and then Byres grappled
with him. Mrs. Byres, who is 65 years old
and rather feeble, attempted to separate tbe
men. During the struggle Leutz used bis
club freely ou Byres and drew blood in con
siderable quantities.
The niarstiai, it is claimed, then turned
on Mrs. Byres and brutally beat her wi th
his club, cutting her badly.
The assault occurred in Byres back parlor
and the floor was spattered with blood from
tho marshal’s two victims. The room
showed signs of a desperate struggle. Tables
were overturned, pictures were torn from
tho walls aud things were in n state of
chaos generally. Mrs. Byres moaned aud
cried from the effects of tbo
wounds in her head, and
presented a pitiable sight. Dr. Chisholm
went out to the scene of the trouble and
dressed Mrs. Byres’ wounds.
Byres started for the city to swear rut
warrants, and fainted near tho Cathedral
cemetery from the loss of blood. He finally
succeeded in reaching Justice Russell’s office
and swore out three warrants. Officer Cole
immediately went to Thunderbolt and
arrested Leutz and brought him to the city.
William E. Fennel went security for him.
Lentz claims that Byres interfered with
him when be arrested the negro, but he did
not try to arrest him for that. He said that
Byres was out on the road with a pistol in
his hand, cursing in a loud tone, and when
he told him to stop Byres called him a
“red headed .” He than started to put
him under arrest, but claims that Byres
struck him in the head with the pistol.
The Marshal said he clubbed Byres in
self-defense, but couldn’t give much of a
reason for tho clubbing of Mrs. Byres.
Leutz told the Morning News reporter
several different stories as to how Mrs.
Byers received her injuries, but when
finally pressed for a definite explanation of
his conduct, said: “O, she was in the way.
I couldn’t help it.”
He added that she Interfered aud had
cursed him and that she had torn the hair
out of his head by the roots, but an ex
amination of the policeman’s head failed to
disclose any evidence of loss of hair.
On account of Mrs. Byres’ age her wounds
may prove serious. She i* prostrated from
tho shock and quite weak from the loss of
blood. The affair creatod great excitement
among the residents of Thunderbolt and in
dignation ran high.
TO PASS IHHOUGH THE PLEIADES.
That Is What Astronomer Wolf’s
Comet Will Do This Weelt.
Prof. Barnard of Lick Observatory says
an interesting phenomenon will be wit
nessed by astronomers during the 3d, 4th
and sth of September. Wolf’s comet,
whose return was first announced from tho
Lick Observatory on May 3 last, will pass
through the Ploiades on the above dates.
“I believe,” savs Prof. Barnard, “no
comet his ever been seen to pass through
tbe cluster This phenomenon will be of
interest principally from the probable oc
cultation of some of the considerable star*.
From the dimensions and rapidity of mo
tion of comets, occultation of tbe fixed stars
by them are nut unfrequent. Tho passage
of a comet in front of a star cannot, in the
true sense of tue word, be called an occult
ation of the star, for it does not disappear
when the comet passes over it. Although
occultations or transits frequently occur, it
is quite seldom that auy but small stars lie
exactly in the path of a comet.
"There is another problem connected
with the comets, however, upon which light
may be thrown by observations of stars
when shining through them. At present
we know absolutely nothing of the mass
and density of any of these coraetary
bodies. We only know that such must be
exceedingly small. It would bn possible to
arrive at some definite idea of the
density of the oometary matter if tbo
light of a star in passing through
it should be refracted. as it is
in passing through our atmosphere. This
can be determined by accurate measure
ments of the relative position of a star be
fore, during and after tho transit of a
comet in front of it. The amount, or even
oxistonce.of such refraction has not yot been
certainly determined.
“The passage of Wolf’s comet through
the Pleiades will therefore be of more than
ordinary interest, as it will give an oppor
tunity to test the problem. Tho comet will
not pass over any ot tbe brightest stars. It
will, however, pretty certainly transit the
two bright stars, Asterpe and Ploiune. The
passage over the first of these will occur on
the morning of Sept 4, at about 3:3’J
o'clock. Lick observatory time; the second
on Sept. 5, at 2 o'clock p. m. A magni
tude star will probably be centrally oc
culted on tbo 6th at noon. These last two
cannot be seen here, but will be observable
in Australia. It will alsi, perhaps, partly
transit tho second star of Asterpe at about
5 o’clock a. m., Sept. 4.”
THE OFFICERS’ WORD WEST.
J. J. Somem Fined $25 for Beeping a
Disorderly Louse.
J. J. Somers, proprietor of a saloon at
the corner of Broughton aDd Drayton
street*, was fined $25 or thirty days yester
day by Mayor McDonough on a charge of
having disorder iu his establishment Mon
day morning about 3 o’clock.
Officer Kavanaugh preferred tho charges.
He testified that he heard disorder in tbe
place and went in and ordered the bar
keeper to put a stop to it, but as his orders
were not respected, he plnced the proprietor
ou the information docket.
Bartender Edwards said there was no dis
order In the saloon. About fifteen men were
drinking and talking as men usually do in
such places. Officer Kavanaugh came in
and said tbe noise must stop, and Edwards
said he ordered the men to lower their
voices, which they did. He was urpnsed
"he i he heard the plaoo had been put on
the docket.
James Ray, Gustave For and John C. De
marten testibed that Somers kept an order
ly place, and had there been any disturb
ances they would have known it, becauso
they live in the immediate neighborhood.
Mr. DemartenL bedroom is only separated
from tbe barro >m by a thin partition, and
he said if auytbing out of the ordinary had
occurred he would have beard it.
Mayor MeDonougn, however, was satis
fied from Officer Kavanaugh* testimony
that the law had been violated and he im
posed the fine. Somers has been a saloon
keeper here quite a while and this is the
first time he nas ever been before tbe court.
Monahan & Henderson, who keep a
saloon at the opposite oorner, were also re
ported by Officer Kavanaugh for a similar
offense at the same time, but their case was
postponed uutil Friday.

THIRTY DAYS AND FINED.
M’BRIDE'3 PENALTY FOR SUNDAY
(LIQUOR BULLING.
The Mayor Inflicts the Extreme Pun
ishment for a Third Violation of the
Law—The Case Appealed to the City
Council—The Testimony Upon Which
Mcßride Was Convicted Officer
Kavanaugh’s Statement.
James Mcßride was before Mayor Mc-
Donough yesterday morning for the third
time charged with violating the Sunday
law, and was given the full penalty, SIOO
and thirty days in jail. Mcßride gave bond
and appealed the case to the city council,
and it will be tried before that body to
night. W. W. Chisholm, Esq., represented
tbe defendant.
There was a big crowd of saloonkeepers
present at the trial in the police court. The
witnesses for the city were Officer Kava
naugh and Julius Haines aud Abram Fra
zier, two colored meD. Officer Kavanaugh
testified that while be was aboard the
steamer Ethel last Sunday Haines
aproacbed him and asked him
if he knew where ho could
get a drink. The officer told the negro
that no one could got whisky on Sunday,
but Haines said if he would give him 25
cents he could get it. Tho officer gave him
35 cents, aud Haines afterward told him he
got whisky at Mcßride’s.
SWORE HE BOUGHT WHISKY.
Haines sworo that he purchased a gill
of whisky from Mrs. Mcßride and paid
15 cents for it. He said he was admitted
into the house by Mcßride and went through
the dining room into the bar, the dosr of
which was ajar.
Frazier corroborated Haines’, statement,
and said that he was along with him when
he got the whisky and that Officer Kav
anaugh bad given Haiues the money to
buy it.
Both negroes swore positively that they
turned to the left to get into tbe saloon after
entering tbe Houston street door, but coun
sel for Mcßride proved that this was an im
possibility because tbe bar is on the right of
that entranoe Haines’ character was im
peaohed by Mato O’Hare of the Ethel, who
swore that the negro bad at one time stolen
money, which he derived from the sale of
hides given him by one of the steamer’s
hands to dispose of. Haiues admitted the
larceny after trust, bit said it didn't make
any difference what he had stolen, he had
gotten liquor at Mcßride’s place, Sunday.
Both negroes were also positive about the
time, saying it was 2:15 o’clock when they
came out of the saloon.
M’BP.IDE’S STATEMENT.
Mcßride swore that he never let either
Haines or Frazier into his house, that the
saloon was looked all day and the key up
stairs. and that no liquor was sold.
Robert Lane, a white mao, who boards
at Mcßride’s, testified that he was eating
dinner at the time Haines and Frazier
claimed to have gotten the liquor, and that
ho was in a positiou where he had full view
of the bar. He was positive that the negroes
were not in tbo place nor was tho bar open.
James Taylor and Frank Qjinley, both
white men, corroborated Lane’s testimouy,
and Patrick Kearney swore that he was iu
Mcßride’s house all day and that the sa
loon bad never been opened, nor bad
Haines and Frazier been around.
A NEGRO BOY’S STORY.
A negro boy who is employed on the
Etfiel, testified that Officer Kavanaugh had
a dollar changed ou the steamer, paid him
5 cents hd owed him for carrying a wa’er
mSldh Up town and gave Haines' 45 oeuts.
Haines, he said, then left the steamer, but
came back after a short while and lost the
45 cents gambling. lbS bay stated also
that Hail** bed told that Kavanaugh
bad said it. hd would go Budget liquor and
tell bi.ii apout it ha (f taluos) w ould get $3.
At the Conclusion of the testimony Mr.
Chfebdlm made a short speech, holding
that jh view of the tact that Haines’
character had been impeached. Officer Kav
anaugh nht knowing anything about the
cafe of his own and four .vhite
mtiti having sworn posltiS’aly that Mcßride’s
place had been closed, his client should be
acquitted.
Mayor McDonough, however, didn’t
rccept Mr. Chisholm’s view of the situatiou,
and stated In passing sentence that had uot
Mcßride’s license been already revoked he
would attach that a3 a part of the punish
ment.
Moßride in the first person who has been
given the full penalty of the law by Mayor
McDonough, and the trial of the appeal by
council w ill be an interesting affair, and no
doubt will attract a big crowd to the meet
ing.

The separate coaoh law passed by the last
Arkansas legislature went into effect Aug.

trouble was experienced in putting it into
effect.
It is reported in Louisville that Stuart R.
Knott, present traffic manager of the Louis
ville and Nashville, will pe promoted to the
position of first vioi president. The report
is generally credited, and there is consider
able speculation as to the changes which
will follow the promotion. The report is
that when Knott is promoted to the first vice
presidency, Brent Arnold, the general agent
at Cincinnati, will be given Mr. Knott’s
place. The name of Theodore Welsh, gen
eral freight agent of all the Louisville and
Nashville lines south of Montgomery, is
also mentioned.

describes an extraordinary locomotive
which is being built at the Pennsylvania
railroad shops at Altoona. Pa., to haul the

being constructed in the Altoona shops. It
will be about three times os long as the
average locomotive, will have two sots of
driving wheels, one set being in the front,
and one set of pony wheels under the pilot.
The wheels will bo under trucks so that the
locomotive can go around curves. Two
firemen will be necessary to supply the coal.
The locomotive, it is alleged, will be power
ful enough to haul a train of freight cars a
mile in length.

News comes from Chattanooga that the
Western Union Telegraph Company, on the
27th, secured an attachment iu a suit
against the Chattanooga, Rome ani Colum
bus railroad and the Savannah and West
ern railroad for $343 18 for telegraphing
done for the first named road. Office fur
niture and an engine ware levied ou. The
telegraph company claimed that the Chat
tanooaga, Rome and Columbus railroad has
been operating and exercising a railway
and corporate franchise in this state with
out any statutory authority to do so, and
was therefore without authority to make a
valid transfer of its property and franchise i
and leaso to nnother corporation without
the statutory consent of the state, so far as
the proDerty and franchises of this state are
concerned.
It is reported, says the Engineering Sews.
that a single rail railway on the Lartigue
system is to be built from the Fours to
l'arricsieres, Franco. The line will be about
ten aud one half miles long. The system
consists of a series of A frames resting on
the ground and carrying the rail on top,
while guide rail 9 along the sides rerve to
steidy the train. The engine and oarß
straddle tho track, the latter having longi
tudinal seats, the passengers Bitting with
their backs to the track. A railway on this
system, ten miles long, has been in opera
tion for some time in Ireland. It is said
that the French government has sent a com
mission to Ireland to inspect this line with
a view of adopting the system for lines in
the French coicnies, and that the engineer
of a railway iu India has also recently in
spected it with a view of adopting the sys
tem for feeders to the railway.
Iu Buda-Pesth, Hungary, three electric
railway lines using the conduit system have
been running more than'a year and climb
ing sleep grades. One of the wheels of each
pair rides ou a Ilaarmsna i all, whioh is
grooved in the canter, while the other rides
upon the top of the conduit, which is built
up by two angle irons, leaving a slot 1%
inches wide. The conductors consist of
angle iron, which has sufficient oocduc
tivlty and is able to withstand the wear due
to the friction of the contact plow. The
motor employed is constructed iu a manner
similar to the Biemens dynamos, with mag
nets of bar iron, adopted in order to reduce
as mnch as possible the weight of the ma
chine. The motion is transmitted
to the car axle through tho
medium of a sproket chain. The electro
motive foroe employed is 300 volts. The
brushes are fixed on a movable frame with
a gearing which counec:s with a crank
wheel on the platform. The operator is thus
given an easy means of regulating the
speed or reversing the movement of the car.
During the operation of these roads the
cars, up to the end of December, 1890. had
covered more than 500,000 car miles and
carried 4,924,030 pasiengers, averaging
5 54-100 passengers porcar kilometre-*-a’out
three-fifths of a mile. Tho general speed of
the cars within the citv is limited to 9>£
miles per hour, though beyond certain
limits iljfc miles is permitted; but in the
narrower streets the speed is limited to six
miles aud at corner* to four miles an hour.
Each car makes seventy-five to eighty car
miles per day of sixteen hours.

Robert A. Hornlein, the S. P. C. A., who
shot an injured calf on Aug. 25, on
Gwinnett street, to put it out of suffering,
and expressed himself rather freely about
the police department allowing the animal
to lay dying on the streets for nearly nine
teen hours, is a victim of the police now.
Chief Green claims that the police
had nothing to do with the matter,
and he didn't like Mr. Hornlein’s
criticisms, so he put him on the informa
tion docket for firing a pistol iu the street.
The case was called yesterday, tut was
postponed until Friday.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.
No. 8.
After an experience of nearly
years in handling the pianos made by the
Mathusbek Piano Manufacturing Com™-
of New Haven, Conn., wo are prepa?JTZ
soy that they take the palm for' geuJfi
popularity. Its friends ane stanch acd en
tbusiastic, and there is always solid
tion to us in selling one of these inst r „
ments. u ~
The reason for (he popularity nf , k
Matbushek is not far to seek. Ao pia?*
made has more perfect care bestowed ure!
each detail of its construction. Everythin
that skill, money and good management ca
do is done to make the Matbushek as solid
satisfactory and endlessly durable as Zz
sible. Ih© Matbushek company has im
mense capital, one of the most perfect f
tones in the world, and makes every r.nri
of its piano except the Ouory keys withZ
its own walls. It is one of the very f 9
existing factories which makes every
of its piano actions. y " ar{
Add to the atwve that St is tho ow D er nf
several valuable patent.*! improvement,
not found in any other instrument, and von
wili easily see why this piano has no in
perior in point of solidity., finish and cen
eral average high excellence. k
The immense facilities possessed bv th.
Mathushex company for making all th!
parts of its pianos in gnat quantities en
a bias it to save money in 'Construction Th!
consequence of this is tlsat we are able t!
offer this instrument at a somewhat low!!
pries than other first-class instruments and
this fact is a great element in its popula’ritv
Many remarkable stories are told i Q rel
gard to the wonderful durability of
Matbushek, but none mare marvelous than
a caso which came within our owu ex D eri
ence and for the truth of which • caa
vouch . *
About twelve years ago a Mdthushek
piano, on its way to a customer, was sunk
od Fernandlna, Fla. After being in the
water several days it was raised, and as it
appeared solid, was sent us for insoection
On examination it was found that the only
damage done was the partial destruction of
the very delicate action with its fine springs
and felt hammers and the rusting of the
strings. We sent for anew action, cleaned
up tho case, put on new strings, and that
piano has ever since been ia active and satis
factory use, aud is good for years of service
jer.
Could any better illustration be asked of
the careful and honest construction of a
piano?
Remember, this was a genuine Matfcu
shek piano, made by the Matbushek Piano
Manufacturing Company of New Haven
Conn., whose general southern agency i's
and has been for nineteen years
Ludden St Bates Southern Musia
House.
