THE NEXT ENCAMPMENT.
MILITARY MEN DISCUSSING ITS
LOCATION.
Grlffln and Chlckamauga In the Lead
In Savannah—Ths Latter Objected to
on Account oftfce Distance, However.
Griffin's Central location Favored.
The Officers Object to Having the
Encampment Near a City.
As will be seen In the Atlanta dispatches
in to-day's Morning News the location of
the next state encampment was not decided
at the meet mg of the advisory board yes
terday though the subject was under dis
cussion. This is a question of great interest
to the Savannah military and the action of
the advisory board will be anxiously
awaited.
The Savannah military are divided
between Griffin and Cbickamsuga. Most of
the boys had such a pleasant time at Cbick
amauga last year that it it probable if a
vote were taken that Chickamauga would
have a majority. Griffin would be next in
favor, Macon would receive a few votes
probably and Atlanta none.
The offloers are opposed to locating the
encampment near any city on the grounds
of discipline.
OBJECTIONS TO A CAMP NEAR A CITT.
The temptations to men to spend their
time away from the camp at nights is too
great, and the social festivities are likely to
be too numerous tj allow the men to give
proper attention to military instruction
and camp duties.
The idea that the state encampment should
prove a drawing card to bring thousands of
people to any oity, who will spend their
money there, is greatly disapproved of by
the Savannah officers. They do not con
sider it military in any sense of the word,
and their respect for any military com
mander who lends himself to auob
a scheme is materiallyy decreased.
They believe that an encampment is a place
for instruction and work, and the smaller
the crowds the better. Of course they do
not propose to make the routine of oamp
life too irksome, and they are willing that
the men should get all of the fun oat of it
they can consistently with the duties of the
camp.
THE CHICKAMAUGA CAMP.
The great objection to Chickamauga is
the distance and the time consumed in going
and returning. A day each way was lost
by ths Savannah military last year over
and above the time of the enoampment.
This is a serious objection, as it Increases
the difficulty of tbe men In securing leaves
of absence from their employers.
With a more centrally located encamp
ment the troops would not lose any time at
all, or very little on this score, os tbe trip
each way oould be made at night. On this
account a great many favor Griffin. Tho
site offered there Is said to be vary favor
ably situated in every respect, and well
suited for the purposes of an encampment.
Col. Garrard was verv strongly in favor
of Griffla last year, and regarded tbe site
there as the best offered.
Capl Brooks said yesterday that he bad
never visited the Griffin site, but he is very
favorably inclined toward it, because of its
central location. He is strongly opposed to
an euoampment near any city.
CHIEF PUDER’S TKIP
To Attend the National Fire Engineers'
Committee Meeting.
Chief Fireman Puder will leave for
Cleveland, 0., this morning to attend n
meeting of the executive committee of the
National Association of Fire Engineer*.
The committee is composed of Hugh Ilon
ner of New York, Henry Leraoin, of Michi
gan, C. E. Buudel of Pennsylvania, Henry
Ileinmiller of Ohio, Charles Whiteside of
Tennessee, W. B. Puder of Georgia, F. 1,.
O’Neill of South Carolina, Matt Sloan of
Alabama. The meeting is for
the purpose of formulatirg a
programme for the 30th annual con
vention of the association next fall. Chief
Puder will be gone about a week, during
which time the home department will be in
charge of Assistant Chief Moure.
The National Association of Fire
Engineers is the organization of firemen of
the United States, and is an important or
ganization. The last annual convention
was held in Springfield, Mass., and full re-
Sirts of its proceedings were printed in the
lOrisino News and nearly all of the lead
ing newspaiiors of the country. The next
convention, for whioh the Cleveland meet
ing will adopt a programme, will be of
greater interest even than the last conven
tion.
A REGULAR WINTER DAY.
The Temperature Yesterday Way Be
low the Average.
Yesterday was an extremely cold day for
Savannah. The air was very damp and
penetrating. The maximum temperature
for the day was 88° aud the minimum
35°, the mean temperature being 16“ below
the normal for the day. The actual fall in
temperature at Savannah was 32°.
The total rainfall for the twenty-four
hours ending at 8 o’clock last night was .66
of an inch.
Generally fair weather prevails through
out all sections, except along the immediate
Atlantic coast, over the peninsalar of
Florida and North Dakota, where oloudy
weather prevails, with snow at Bismarck
and Boston and light rain all aloug the
Florida coast.
The temperature has slightly risen in the
Central Gulf states and west of the
Mississippi, while a decided fall has taken
plaoe along the Atlantic coast and through
out the peninsular of Florida. Northerly
gales are reported off the North Carolina
coast.
The forecast for Savannah and vicinity
is cloudiness, followed by clearing weather;
•lightly warmer In the afternooa.
CUT DOWN TO SIX HOUR3.
A Reduction in the Working Time or
Central Shop Hands.
An order has been issued by Supt. Mcßee
of the Central railroad, cutting down tbe
hours of work in the Central railroad shops
and round house to six hours per day.
About 200 men are affected at Savanuab,
The same cut has been made all over the
Richmond and;Danvilla system. The explan
ation of the reduction is that a very small
•mount of work is being done in the way
of building at present, and consequently
there is less demand for workmen. The
men now go to work at 6:30 o’clock in the
morning and quit off at 12:30 o’clock.
The Vernon Oyster Company.
The Vernon Oyster Company was organ
ized last night and the following board of
directors wes elected: F. S. Lathrop, W. R.

Jr. The report of tbe attorney for the com
pany, John 8. Hchley, Esq., was read and

•enuring good oyster lands was very grati
fying.

MIN KOWITgS ASSAILANTS.
Detective Morgan Nabs Them tn
“ 15-Cnt" Alley.
The two negrpes who robbed and beat
nearly to death the Russian peddler, Abra
ham Minkowitx, on the Savannah and Isle
of Hope railroad, Tuesday, were captured
last night by Detective Morgan and lodged
in the barracks. *
Detective Morgan bag been on tbe track
of the robbers since the day of the robbery.
He very toon discovered who they were aud
last night he located them in Vsmsrrsw.
They are Owen Jones ar.d Willis Brown.
Jones was found in a house in ‘‘ls-c.mt’'alley
near the canal. He was arrests 1 without
trouble. On his way to the barracks he
confessed he was implicated in the robbery,
but said that Willis Brown, bis compani u,
was the man who did the work, lie said
Brown was in tte same house a' whioh he
was arrested, and that he could be found
there if the officer would hurry back.
Detective Morgan sent Harmon Waters,
wbo was assisting him, back to tbe house to
secure Brown, which he did, aud took him
to the barracks also. Brown in turn said
he was at the robbery. but
tbe other iau did the work. Both ac
knowledged being present and implicated in
the robbary and assault, though each laid
the burden of the affair on the otuer.
The clubs with which tbe robbers teat
Minkowitz were also found by Detective
Morgan. They are heavy bludgeons and
were evidently out from the swamp for the
purpose for which they were nsed.
Both Jones and Brown are young ne
groes, tho former being about 18 and the
latter 21 years old. Jones has just served a
twelve months’ sentence on the gang
for a similar offense committed
on Skidaway Island, Bkidawav is Jones’
home, or the bouie of s line of bis relatives,
and the pair made directly for the island
after tho rubbery. Detective Morgan was
informed by people living on Skidaway
that Jones and hi3 gang bad made a regular
business of highway robbery and had robbed
and beaten a number of people,even calling
men to a halt on horse back,
Minkowitz’s pocket Look was found on
Jonos. Tho pair confessed tbey got 65 cents
from Minkowitz, which they divided and
afterward lost in a skin game. Jones
and Brown will be committed to
jail this morning on tho charges of assault
with intent to murder and highway
robbery.
Minkowitz’s wounds are very sorlous and
there is a possibility that he may not re
cover. He was beaten in a most brutal
manner.
Detective Morgan deserves credit for bis
quick work in running down two such dan
gerous characters as Jones and Brown. He
was greatly assisted in his work by Officer
Waters.

NO DAMAGE FEARED.
Rice Planters Not Anticipating Any
From the High Water.
The high water reported at Augusta will
not do any material damage to the rice
fields on the Savannah river if it does not
rise any higher than the present stage.
There is no rice planted now, aud will
not be until Maroh 1 or 15.
Col. John Screven, one of the largest
planters in the s’ate, said that the only
damage that will be sustained in case the
water gets any higher will be in the breaking
of the rice field banks aud the arresting of
the labor work in preparing ths ground for
the March planting. The ground has not
boon plowed yet, but the rice field hands
are getting ready for It. The planters
along the Savannah river do not anticipate
any damage to their land on account of the
high water as it stauds at present.

AT THE THEATER.
“The Charity Ball’’ One of the Best
Plays Sean In a Long Time.
Few'ftetter plays than “TheChurity Ball”
are seen lu Savannah. It was seen for the
first time in Savannah last night. The
play is of to-day—ot real flesh aud blood—
with theaction all in New York. “John Van
Buren” Is rector of St. Mildred’s church.
“Dick Van Buren,” his brother, is a broker
of Wall street, ambitious to bo its king. Op
posites in aims and occupations—one with
conscience, the other a money getter—they
have in oommon only love for their
littlo sister “Bess” aud adoration for
a dear, old, blind mother, whom
they oatl the household’s angol.
The clergyman and his brother love the
same girl. This girl is betrayed by the
broker before she .s acquainted with the
clergyman. The latter goes to her assist
ance during her dying father’s financial
wreck. He takes her to his blind mother’s
home. His brothar meets her there again.
He has determined to marry the daughter
of another stock broker, the king of Wall
street, : i* order to retrieve his fortunes.
This young lady loves the clergyman. At a
hall givau for a charity tho story of the be
trayal comes out. That night the clergy
man knows all. He finally prevails cn his
brother to marry the girl. He in turn
finally marries the young lady who is in
love with him.
The story Is prettily told. Every line is
bright and every bit of action has a mean
ing. The play has received tho polished
wit of De Mille and the clever stage man
agement and direction of Bolasco. With
the exception of the charity ball Beene of
tho second act, all tho sconos are at the rec
tory, and about it all there is an air of re
finement that makes an auditor feel that he
is in good company. Mr. Frobman has
seut a company here to represent the play
that, in its merit and artistic composition,
is a happy disappointment. It it a com
pany well selected to play this one piece,
and the result is a delightful performance.
The audie'ce last night received the play
enthusiastically. The comedy parts created
constant laughter, and the pathotio parts
were beautifully rendered. A matinee per
formance will be given this afternoon aud
the concluding performance to-night.

LAST YEAR'S BLAZES.
TWENTY-SEVEN MORE THAN
THERE WERE IN 1890.
The Total Amount of Property De
stroyed by 213 Fires $1,345,205, on
Which There Was Insurance for sl,-
790.101— The Cost of the Fire De
partment During the Year $51,954.
More Apparatus Recommended by
tbe Chief Fireman.
The annual report of Chief Fireman
Puder for 1891 ws filed in the clerk of
council’s office yesterday. It embraces
everything under tbe jurisdiction of the fire
department and is full and complete. The
department now consists of forty-seven men,
including chief fireman, assistant chief,
superintendent, engineers and privates.
By authority of council the force was in
creased by the appointment of four men
during the year. Seven resignation* were
received, and it was found necessary in the
interest of discipline to cause live dismissal*
and two for incompetency.
The estimated value of the department,
including apparatus and property, etc., is
put down at $112,290. The city paid out
for tbe maintenance of the department dur
ing the year $47,191 87, and for improve
ments $4,762 50, a total of $51,954 37. The
expense for the year was $51,954 37. The
payroll, which amounted to $36,247 18 up
to Nov. 30, 1891, was increased by addi
tional appointments. Tho budget for 1891
was $51,000, from whioh there is deducted
credits amounting to $547 82.
THE YEAR'S FIRES.
The following table shows the number of
fires for each month of the year:
January 2: ■ August u
lebruary USeptember 17
March. l.iOctober 20
April l3 November 24
May 15 December 21
June 8 Suburbs 17
July 13
J 1 ! 01 * 1 813
The total amount of 1 ss wa551,345,265 09.
The amount of insurance was $1,796,161.
The total number of alarms in the city
proper was 190 as against 169 fer IS9O.
Chief Puder has Eomething to say on the
question of hose. On Jan. 1, 1891, the de
partment had on band and in use 5,100 feet
of hose, of which 4,150 feet were second
class. A part of the 4,150 feet has
given out, and 3,000 feet more
were added. Four hundred feet have
been turned over to the committee o;i
streets and lanes. There now remains on
hand 3,000 feet of good hose and about 2,400
feet of hose that sail onlv stand hydrant
pressure.
Tho total cumber of horses belonging to
the department is 27; 23 in good condition,
3 fair and 1 condemned. During the year
there were six casualties, but none proved
serious.
MORE APPARATUS NEEDED.
Chief Puder’s recommendations aro of
especial significance. He says the want of
a reserve engine compels him to renew for
the third time his recommendation that the
old engine now stored at hose station No. 1
be sold and the proceeds directed to ward the
purchase of anew engine.
The report states that the section south of
the Central raitroad and west of West
Broad street, known as Robertsville, is In
sad need of protection against fire, aud he
recommends that anew hose station be
placed at the intersection of Stewart and
Wed Broad streets.
The departrre it has lost considerable
property in the southern limits of tbe city in
the shape of hose, etc., the hose having to
be laid out at great distanoe. and the report
recommends that a small chemical engine
be located somewhere in that section. The
present chemical engine has done good
service and is ample protection in small
fires.
FIRE TUCIS RECOMMENDED.
The question of the fire tug on the river
is also commented upon. Chief Puder is of
the opinion that such a feature added to the
department would be a groat aid In sup
pressing fires on the river and on shipboard,
which, in almost every case, amounts to a
great logs of property.
The stringing of overhead wires is also
mentioned, and Chief Puder suggests that
something be done in the matter so as to
prevent the wires coming in contact with
the free working of the department aud
also to prevent them from being a source of
danger.
in closing his report, Chief Puder extends
thanks to tue mayor and aldermen aud to
the insurance companies for valuable sta
tistics and information. He commends the
officers and men of the department who
have been attentive in their duty and never
shirking tho responsibility or risk of their
task.
Attached to the report is the report of \t.
D. Cleburno, superintendent of firo alarm.
Tho report asys the lire alarm i-i in perfect
working order, and recommends that an
alarm box be stationed at the police bar
racks as the method of sending in alarms
from that location is very unreliable.
The entire department now consists of 47
men, including the chief, assistant ohief
engineers, etc., and 5 steamers, 1 chemical
engine. 2 hook and ladder trucks, including
the aerial apparatus and 5 hose carriages.
The report is the handsomest yet received,
and reflects credit upon Chiof Puder and
his assistants. The cover of the report is
very prettily embossed with letters in ar
tistic desigus, and a fire engine behind two
dashing horses is pictured ill relief behind a
mass of flowers. The penmanship is the
work of J. E. MoGuire.

ing Powder is used. It has been the standard baking powder for over a
quarter of a century, and its reputation is established as the finished,
perfect leavening agent. It is always uniform, never fails in its work,
makes food more palatable and wholesome than it can be otherwise
made, and because of its greater leavening power, as shown*by the
Government tests, is the most economical of all the baking powders.
The U. S. Gov’t Chemist says: “Royal Baking Powder
is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder
offered to the public.” The Canadian Gov’t Chemist says:
“ Royal Baking Powder is pure, 23 per cent, stronger, and
far superior to all others.”
If any one attempts to experiment upon you, or your food,
by sending you any substitute for Royal Baking Powder, send it back.
A DIFFERENT VIEW OF IT.
City Attorney Adams on the Von
Glahn Decision.
Judgments were taken yesterday in the
superior court by City Attorney Adams in
the certiorari cases of James Mcßride and
8. Marks from the mayor’s court,dismissing
tho and placing the costs upon the
plaintiffs.
Mr. Adams differs with Mr. di Bignon in
his opinion of the decision of the supreme
court in tbe Von Glahn case and its bearing
upon tho city's position, as expressed in
yesterday’s Morning News “The state
ment in to-day’s Morning News concern
ing tho Von Glahn and Mcßride cases, ”be
said, “does not do the city justice. One
might infer that the supreme court took a
different view of the law from that taken
by tho mayor and tbe city council,
when the fact is that, in principle
and substance, the position of the city has
been fully sustained. When the Mcßride
case was tried before council, the question
was as to tbe validity of the section of the
Sunday ordinance upon which the charge
ha:i beou based. Council was advised that
this section was valid even, although there
might not be any material difference be
tween tho offense provided for by tbe ordi
nance and the state offense of keeping open
a tippling house on the Sabbath day.
“The advice,” Mr. Adams said, “was
based upon a portion of the charter of the
city, which existed as law prior to the
act of 1857. and whioh in terms authorizes
the mayor and aldermen of the city of Sa
vannah ‘to control and regulato barrooms in
the city of Savannah,’ my opinion being that
this ordinance was within the purview of
such a statute and that there wai nothing
to prevent the legislature giving this power
to the city. Tbe contention of Mr. Mo-
Bride’s attorney was that the city oould not
punish for this offense and could not be
authorized so to punish. My opinion
was, and is, that it is merely
a question of legislative intent. In the
argument before the superior court, when
the not of 1857 was cited and read, the at
torney representing Mr. Moßride urged that
the ordinance was nevertheless void, that
the oity could not be authorized to puni h
for the offense, and that any act which at
tempted to give this authority would be
void. In the Von Glahn cas s the supreme
court has expressly sustained such legisla
tion, and has thus sustained the controlling
position taken by the city of Savannah in
these cases.
“It is truo that the general power of the
city with reference to barrooms was not
before our supreme court in the Augusta
oaso, and could not be, but there is nothing
to warrant the suggestion that the supreme
court would render another decision with
reference to the city of Savannah but for
ths aot of 1857. Under the principle in the
Yon Glahn case, they would be obliged to
sustaiu the position of the city of Savannah,
outside of the act of 1857, if they thought
that the general power to control aud regu
late barrooms in the city of Savannah
would sustain an ordinance requiring
barrooms to be closed on the
Sabbath day. Unless Buch an ordinance
is within the scope of such power, it would
bo difficult to suggest any ordinance that
would be. The statement, therefore, in to
day’s News, that ‘in ail probability Mayor
McDonough's decision would have been re
versed by the superior and supreme courts
otherwise,’ is certainly not warranted by
the decision in tho Von Glahn case, but on
tho contrary, tho fair and reasonable infer
ence from that case is that the mayor’s po
sition would have been sustained, even out
side of the act of 1557.
“As to the effect of a conviction before
the police court, I have only to say that the
authorities which sustain this municipal
legislation also sustain the proposition that
such a conviction is no bar to a punishment
uader the state law in a state court. It is
not a case of conflicting ‘concurrent juris
dictions,’ but it is a case of the violation of
the laws of two different jurisdictions. The
city cannot punish twice for a violation of
its laws, and the state cannot punish twioe
for a violation of tbe state's laws,
but the same act may involve a violation of
th laws of the two different jurisdictions.
Tuis position is sustained by the supreme
oourt of the United States, by Cooley in
his work on ‘Constitutional Limitations,’
and by the best authorities. 1 infer from
tho last head-note in the Von Glahn case
that our supremo court has the same idea,
because Uis noticed that the criminal aot
with whioh he was charged was a ‘violation
of the general law of the state as well as of
the city ordinance.’ ”

Aacording to the Iron Age this country
has exportod during the past two months
$2,802,000 worth of locomotives. For along
time American locomotives have been
recognized as tetter than those built in
England, France or Germany, and this
country has been exporting them to various
countries, mostly to the British colonies
in Australia and to South American
countries, at the rate of about $1,000,000
worth a year for the last sixteen or gjven

two months are greatly above the average

THE GOLDEN gAGLS KNIGHTS.
The First Public Installation of Officers
in Savannah.
The first public installation of officers of
the Knights of tbe Golden Eagle was that
of Fidelity Castle, No. 7 at Odd Fellow’s hall
last night. The ceremonies were both impres
sive and interesting. Tbe hall was crowded
with ladles and gentlemen, and tho occasion
was one that was heartily appreciated by
those who were present.
Grand Chiof A. N. Manucy, assisted by
tho grand castle officers, C. H. Van
Nuise, grand vice chief; W. B. Bidden
back, grand high priest; F. C. Callahan,
grand sir herald, and John C. Bernhardt,
master of records, installed the officers of
the lodge. The opening of the castle and
installation of the officers was similar to tho
form used in secret session, and to that ex
tent the outside publie obtained an inside
view of how the business is done. Ag'od
many “unsophisticated” Individuals ex
pected to hear the command “Bring forth
the Royal Billy,” and tho final test of fidel
ity, the task of climbing the
greasy pole, but, it ’is needie'B to
say, they Were badly disappointed.
One of tho uninitiated went so far as to
ask a K. G. where the goat part came in,
and he was promptly told it was at the
closing part of the ceremonies.
The following officers were installed:
P. Chief—George VV. Allen.
Noblo Chiof—VV. C. Sweat.
V. C.—J. J. Masters.
Hir Herald—H. A. Carter.
High Priest—C. I. DeMore.
Master of Records—M. J. Evans.
Exchequer—J. Q. Fenlev.
Keeper of Exchequer—O. Ol6en.
V. H.—R. F. Jones.
Appointed officers:
E-quire—H. E. Q uantock.
Ensign—John VVodell.
VV. Chamberlain—E. L. Floyd.
First Guardsman—VV. I). Thompson.
Second Guardsman—John Braur.en.
At the conclusion of the installation,
Knight Barclay gave a short talk upon the
workings of tho order, and was followed by
Grand Chief Manucy, who delivered on ad
dress to tho Knights and people assembled.
A feature of the occasion was tho musical
part of the programme.
Tho most pleasing part was the duet by
the little daughters of the grand chief,
Lillian and Stella. They brought down
the house, so to speak, and were loudly ap
plauded. The festivities wound up with a
collation, and it was a late hour when the
guests departed.

The Scientific American has discovered
an increased demand tor sailing vessels on
the ocean, and gives some valuable records
oPsp. ed nnd cargoes made by great sailing
vessels. It says: “Tho demand for sailing
vessels has, of late, shown a marked increase
both here and abroad; in Great Britain, ac
cording to Lloyd’s Registry, there being
now 151 such craft with a total tonnage of
185,807 under construction against 76 with a
tonnage of 80,000 this time last year. Here
about the same tendency is manifest. The
rate of steamer construction in Great Brit
ain has seen a marked falling off during the
year, and though in these waters tbe
rate has lagely inoreased, it may
easily be traced to favorable leg
islation rather than to a further
abandonment of the sailing type. Bhip
piug people, it would seein, are beginning
to discover that for oertain classes of trade,
in which time is not a very material ele
ment, th 9 sail is more economical than the
steam engine; the price of fuel, too, is tell
ing against the latter. Then, again, the
difference in cost of construction between
steamer aud sailing vessels, wheu compared
with the amount of saving in time in aver
age voyaging of the ordinary steam tramper
over the sailor, incliues to favor the lat
ter. The steam tramp, it will be found,
will not average much above ten knots
under favorable conditions; to push her at
higher speed would largely increase her
sailing expenses, while against heavy head
seas she would not do so well by
two or three knots. The smart sailer,
on tbe other hand, though falling
far short of this figure with winds heading
her off, is good for much more than teu
knots under favorable conditions of wind
and sea. With the old-time clipper ships
sixteen knots an hour, aud even more than
that, was not unusual with favorable gales
over their counters. The clipper ship Great
Republlo, built by Donald McKav, when
employed as a transport for French troops
in the Crimean war, to the surprise of all
led off In ordinary weather the steam ves
sels of the fleet that were to have taken her
in tow. In 1851 the Flying Cloud (clipper)
made the passage from New York to San
Francisco, her track computed at 17,000
miles, in 89 days 21 hours. Her greatest
distauce from noon to noon of any day was
374 knots (433 statute miles), which,
allowing for difference in longitude, was
made in 24 hours 19 minutes 4 seoonds. or
at the rate of 17.77 miles per hour. In 1853
the Comet reached New York from Ban
Francisco in 83 days, and the Sovereign of
tho Kens from the Sandwich Islands in 82
days. The greatest distance made by the
latter from noon to noon on any day (in
this case 23 hours 2 minutes 4 seoonds) was
562 knots (419 miles), or at the rate ot 17.88
miles per hour.”
