ANXIETY ALMOST OYER.
IN A FEW DAYS THS MAYOR WILL.
DEFINE HIS POSITION.
Tuesday or Wednesday Night Will
Decide Whether Mayor McDonough
or Me). Schwarz Will Contest V. ith
Alderman Harmon—A Meeting of
Friends to Consider It—Colored Har
mon Clubs organizing—Dr. Falllgant
Wants Everybody’s Support The
Aldermen Who Don't Want to Go
Back.
Within a few days the minds of the
politicians will be set at rent as to the posi
tions to be occupied by Mayor MoDonough
and Maj. Schwarz in the approaching
mayoralty contest. By the latter part of
this week It will be positively known which
one of the gentlemen is to lead the opposi
tion to Alderman Harmon.
When Mayor McDonough returned to the
city a few days ago aud was questioned on
the subject he answered that he would state
his position tn a few days, and he meant
exactly what he said. It is understood that
a meeting of the friends of Mayor McDon
ough will beheld Tuesday or Wednesday
night at which the mayoralty situation
will be thoroughly canvassed, and a decision
arrived at whether it would be advisable
for the mayor to offer for re-election. If
the decision Is in favor of such a course a
mass meeting of the supporters of Mayor
McDonough’s administration and polioy
will be called, and he will be nominated for
• second term.
SCHWARZ’S POSITION.
In suoh an event Maj. Schwarz will not
enter the contest, as it is said be stated he
would not oppose Mayor McDonough. But
if the mayor's friends think it the wiser
course for him to retire, then their entire
support will go to Maj. Schwari and he
will be requested by a mass meeting to make
the race.
At present everything is gueeswork. Some
of Mayor McDonough’s friends say he will
be a candidate and others say be will not.
One thing, however, is certain, whether
Mayor McDonough is or is not u candidate
he and his friends will take a
very prominent part in the
•lection. They are opposed to Alderman
Harmon aud do not hesitate to express
themselves. In the meantime the Har
monites are going ahead organizing their
white and colored forces, and preparing for
the hottest municipal election in Savaunah
since the war. A colored Harmon club was
organised m the Third distnot night be
fore last with 100 members.
ANXIOUS FOR SCHWARZ.
In connection with tbs oolored club feat
ure of the campaign, the following com
munication received at the Morning News
office is Interesting:
Editor Horning Nerct: Dear Sir—The so
called Colored Harmon Club of the First dis
trict is all bosh, and Mr. Harmon will find it
out if our friend, Maj. Sobwarz. is a candidate.
tVe are the friends of the major. We ll wait
until the registration Is made and then show
who la right and who is not. Respectfully,
T. E. FEUKKitas icolored).
It is said that a movement is ory-talliilng
among a number of well known citise s to
endeavor to get Alderman Mills to allow
tbs use of bis name for the mayoralty.
Dr. Falligant is not sleeping ou his post
by any means. He snys be is not organ
izing any clubs, but desires to secure the
support of everybody. He Is running on
his record as an alderman and public spir
ited citizen, who bolds the interests of Sa
vannah and her people paramount to every
thing else, personal or otherwise, and ne
hopes to be rewarded by their confidence
in making him the chief executive officer
of the oity. Dr. Falligant is making
a lively oampaigu and has many frleuds
aiding him.
TO START THK BALL TO-MORROW NIGHT.
The First District Club will really open
the munioipal campaign to-morrow night,
when in mass meeting assembled it selects
three aldermauio candidates to represent
the First district. The members of the
club say they are not going to be nominated
either as Harmon, MoDonougb, Hchwarz or
Falligant men, but men to represent the
First district and they do not care wbioh
mayoralty oandidate places the names on
bis ticket. The First district Is going to
support them first, last and all the time,
•ven if they have to run on a ticket by
themselves!
It Is not known yet how many members
of the present bvArd will stand for re eleo
tion. It is generally understood, though,
that Aldermen Harris, Carson, McGuire,
O’Brien and Reid will not ofTer for re-eleo
tion. Of course Alderman Harmon is out of
the question and the resignation of Aider
man Bailey leaves only flve aldermen to be
beard from, Messrs. Mills, Myers, Cann,
Haines and Charlton.
The HarmoDites will go to work on their
aldermanlo ticket just as soon as they find
out what Mayor McDonough is going' to do.
WISCONSIN EDITORS COMING.

The Wisconsin Press Association is to be

Atlanta, Savannah and all point* in Florida.
Tbe Msooiation will spend next Sunday

courtesies by tbe member* of tbe local press.
A number of tbe South Dakota Press As

Tbe itinerary is a neat pamphlet, con
taining many complimentary things of the

TWO FIRES.
Small Blazes That Called Out the Fire
Department.
The fire department had two oalls yeeter
day, but neither of them amounted to any
thing of coniequence. The flret fire was at
No. 31 Berrien street. The roof caught
from a defective flue, but the fire depart
ment arrived iu time to prevent much
damage.
The second fire was more serious. The
fire waa on Becond avenue and Burroughs
street. An outhouse immediately in the
rear of a building ow ed by Dr. A. O.
Best waa completely gutted.
The house was a wooden one and burned
like cinder. It waa occupied by a colored
family who saved most of the furniture in
it. The loas does not amount to more than
• 100. The fire department deserves much
credit for confining the fire to oue building
and keeping it from spreading to the build
ing* adjacent.
To Succed Alderman Bailey.

TO RENEW OPERATIONS.
The Pulaski Knitting Mills Will Soon
Be Opened Again.
It will be gratifying information to the
citizens of Savannah generally to know that
tne Pulaakl knitting mills will soon renew
operations. It will be remembered that the
mills were shut down about four weeks ago,
and that a meeting of the stockholders was
held to consider the situation. One of the
m st disadvantageous circumstances con
nected with the running of the mills was a
look of competent skilled labor. Most of
the employes in the operating department
were women. They were the beat ‘‘work
men” that could be employed, and
women were the only ones en
gaged for labor in the footiry,
lhe class obtainable in Savannah was not
up to the ge era! standard and in connec
tion with that the management of the mills
was not what it ought to have been.
Considering all these things the stock
holders called a meeting and decided to close
the mill.
At the same meeting a committee was
appointed to look into the financial matters
of the mills and also Into the question of
labor. The committee has tieen laboriously
consider! g these matters and was
to make a definite report last
night. It was not, however, able to
recommend anything definite but its re
port was so favorable that the stockhold
ers unanimously decided to continue the
mills in operation.
Capt. William W. Williamson, president
of the mills, said there is uo doubt about
tho mills opening up again. Operations
will begin some time in December.
Though none of the committee were in
clined to give out any information about
the condition of affairs it it understood
from what leaked out that the mills have
the option on first class skilled labor from
the north and that as soon as it can be se
cured work would begin again.
ANOTHER Bits*' COMPANY.
Home Enterprise to Compete With
Western Firms.
Savannah is to have more competition
in the western beef and market supply busi
ness. The Savannah Beef Company has
opened up in the cold storurge rooms of
Swift & Cos. on West Broad street,
under the management of Mr. William H.
Lees, and will be a regular competitor here
after in supplying the butchers' and gro
cers’ trade. The Swift building has fieen
standing vacant for two or three years,
and the general belief was that a
deal had been made with the other packing
companies by which Swift & Cos. were to
keep out of Savaunah. This does not seem
to be the rase, however. Savannah now
has three firms engaged in the c Id storage
supply business, the Armour Packing Com
pany ; Nelson Morris <fc Cos. and the Savan
nah Beef Company.
THE NIGHT SCHOOL A SUCCESS.
Boys Appreciating the Advantages of
the tyotem.
Little has been said about Savannah’s
night school for boys of late.
Tbe eobool, however, is being con
ducted very satisfactorily. The average
attendance upon tbe school is
eighty-five, and the boys nre quiet and
earnest in their studies. In faot, so quietly
ia the school conducted that ti e people in
the neighborhood of the Whitfield building
would hardly know that a good-sized school
was being oonducled in their midst if it
were not for the lights in tho third story.
Supt. Baker visit* the school frequently,
and is much pleated with tbe work of both
pupils and teachers.
rrof. Gillespie has established iiis reputa
tion as a teacher by his ooaduct of the night
school.
GETTING READY TO CELEBRATE.
Tbe Colored Citizens to Observe Bman
clpatlon Day In Style.
A committee of colored citizens met et
the ofEoe of Dr. C. McKane Friday night to
make arrangements, in connection with the
military companies, for the celebration of
Emancipation day on a large scale.
The meeting was organized by the selec
tion of Capt. J. C. Simmons as ebairman
aud Sol C. Johnson as seoretury.
A oommittee consisting of J. H. Brown,

THE THEATRICAL WORLD.
Only Two Nlgbte for Play-goers Thin
Week.
There will bo only two plays at the theater
this week. They are Little’s “World,” which
is booked for Wednesday night, aud “A
Royal Pass," which will hold the boards
Thursday night. Both are sensational
dramas, introducing some very realistic
scenes.
Little's “World" is one of the verv few
plays that can be said to please everybody.
Its strong oomedy, pathos, sentiment,
thrilling denouements, s artling climaxes,
laughable oddities and intricate and beauti
ful soenio effects are so admirably woven
and blended together that there is not a
dull moment from the rise to the fall of the
ourtain. Ibe interest in the play is never
allowed to lag and the evening passes away
before one is hardly aware of it. It is one
of the truly great comedy aud dramatic
successes of the day.
In the “Royal Pas-.” a locomotive raoe is
shown, and the engines are not paper ma
chines, but solid iu structure—his.,lop steam
and blowing whistles. Real engines can be
seen, of course, In the Mill Creek valley,
without cost to the speotator; but the
wonder of suoh things seems to increase in
a play. Besides, the engines do not have it
all to themselves In “A Royal Pass."
George C. Staley, a popular dialect oorned
iau, is the central figure, aud among nis
■ougs are "By-by to Baby”aad “Watohing
the Children Play.” Especial attention is
given to the musical part of the progr amme.
An auxiliary association of women, whioh
is designed to be a woman’s branch of die
Actor’s Fund, was organised in New York
Tuesday at tbe ofßot-s of A. M, Palmer.
The ladies present were all identified with
the recent big fair at the Madison Square
garden. The aim of the society is to aid
young actresses who honestlv want to go
ahead. Sometimes one has torefuse a good
part because of the expansive oostumes to be
bought. To remedy this and other evils the
auxiliary waa started. Most of the promi
nent women connected wits the stage wore
present. Officers will be elected next week.
Augustus Thomas’ "Surrender” was pro
duced in Boston on Mouday. It is a oomedy
of war times, with tbe soenes laid in Rich
mond. The plot centers in the attempts of
tbe daughters of the confederate
commandant of Libby prison to liberate
their northern lovers. While every male
ebaraoter ia a soldier and wears a uniform,
there is no battle, no military execution,
none of the agonies of war; yet the scenes
are so blended together and ’so powerfully
shown by the author, as one critic puts it
“that the auditor fannies ldmself on the
tented field surrounded by all the pomp and
glory of war.” This was a Charles Frth
man production, and Louis Aldrioh and
Hose Eyttnge were in the large company
required.
In the early part of December the Bren
tanos will publish “The Technique of the
Drama." a volume treating of the principles
that enter into the construction of plays. It
is the work of W. T. Price, who for some
years has been play reader at Palmer’s
theater, and who, besides having had long
experience as a dramatic critic, has for
years made a special study of his BUbject.
The book is one that is desigued to meet the
inquiry among students of the drama for a
band book of the sort. English literature >s
completely lacking in dirtet and practical
sources of information. One of the chapters
is devoted to a bibliology of all books of
value bearing on the 'matter, beginning
with Aristotle. This alone will be of in
estimable aid. Mr. Price has not been active
in writing plays, but some years ago Etfie
EUsler produced with great success a piece
by him entitled "The Old Kentucky Home,”
and it is likely that this ssason will see the
production of a drama that be has long had
iu hand, “Old John Brown of Harper’s
Ferry."
The following, from the New York Press,
will be of interest to many people in Sa
vannah:

M.&N. G.TO BEGIN ANEW
POST’S COMMITTEE PREPARINO
THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION,
Three Issues of New Bonds, and One
Bach of Preferred and Common
Stock Contemplated—Old Bonds Will
Be Redeemed Dollar for Dollar and
Stockholders to Get 26 Per Cent.
The Road to Be Extended to Atlanta.
Information received by the Savannah
bondholders of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad is to the effeot that the
Pest committee now has a majority of the
stock and bonds in its hands and will pro
ceed with the reorganization of the road as
fast as possible. The members of the re
organization committee are H. A. V. Post,
chairman; Thomas Carmichael, Walter
.Stanton, E. E. lienuiston and Newman
Erb.
By the agreement under whioh the bonds
are deposited the committee is authorized
to take legal steps to secure a sale of the
property and are given full power to pur
chase it as joint tenants in behalf of the bond
holders entering into the agreement. A
new company will theu be formed to take
charge of the road, discharge all existing
obligations not disposed of by the sale and
put. the road into condition for successful
operation.
THE LINK TO BE EXTENDED.
Tbe reorganization sobeme ooutemplates
the extension of the Marietta and North
Georgia to Atlanta, which will in all likeli
hood be done. The road will either secure
a terminus iu Atlanta or a connection with
some friendly railroad system already hav
ing terminal facilities there.
The plan of reorganization is substantially
upon a basis of the purchase of the road,
including nil the property embraced by the
several mortgages, lor the benefit of the as
senting bondholders and the unpaid coupons.
It iB proposed to issue bonds to the
amount of $3,500,000, face value, to run
fifty years, with interest at the rate of 5
percent, per annum; bonds to the amount
of $4,000,000, payable aud bearing interest
at the same rate as the first issue, and se
cured by a second m rtgage upon the prop
erty; income bonds, ion-accumulative,
taken at their face value, and preferred
stook to the amouut of $3,500,000, to have
preference over tbe common etock to tbe
extent of 5 per cent, per annum; common
stock to the amount of $9,800,000.
THE DISPOSITION OF THE BONDS.
These securities are to be applied as fol
lows: Of tbe first mortgage bonds $500,000
are to be deposited with the Atlautio Ti ust
Company of New York as a special reserve
fund for the extension of the railway from
Marietta to Atlanta aud for providing
proper terminal facilities. The balance
of the first mortgage bond 9, or the
proceeds from their sale are to be used to
liquidate the costs of tbe foreclosure pro
ceedings and the expeuses of reorganiza
tion, including tbe amouut necessary to be
paid out for the property and the sat.sfao
tion of existing liens, equipment obligations,
improvements and betterments of the roaii,
and also for the retirement of the bonds of
tne original Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad Company. Tnese latter bonds are
a prior obligation to ihe so-called first
mortgage bonds.
Tbe 84,000,000 second mortgage bonds are
to be Issued to the holde s of the preseut
first mortgage bonds, dollar for dollar, and
for the unpa.d matured coupons.
PREFKRKKD STOCK TO BATISFY CLAIMS.
The 83,500,000 preferred stock is to be
used in satisfaction of any obligations of
the company, in whole or in part.
The depositors of common stock will re
ceive stook of the new c rapany to tbe ex
tent of 25 per cent, of their holdings.
The securities not otherwise disposed of
are to be sold for tbe purpose of reimburs
ing the committee for advances made to re
pay loans and liquid te obligations incurred
iu the process of reorganization.
A syndicate is to be organized by the
committee for the purpose of carrying the
reorganization scheme into effect.

cutting.
Fish was abundant and in great variety

Green vegetables were also abundant and
exhibited great variety, suoh as cabbage,
cauliflower, turnips (both Swedish and

STEIN WAT PIANOS FOR CHRIST
MAS.
Special to Prospective Buyers.
Are you intending to buy a Steinway for
a holiday present!
If so, let us advise you not to delay, but
to make your seleotlou as quickly an pos
sible.
The demand for Hteinways 'ls very great
and the factory is so behind orders that it
is difficult to get instruments when wanted.
Come in at once and select the style
wasted, and If it’s not in stock or coming
in we shell have time to secure one for you
from factory. Whereas, if you wait until
Christmas week it will be simply impossible
for us then to get. onythiug not in stock.
Don’t mistake this as simply an adver
tisement for tbe Steinway piano to get your
order. There is an actual shortage at tho
factory, and as many parties have told us
they would buy tor the holidays, we give
them this word of warning that they may
not be disappointed, as well as ourselves.
