8 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. Western Pen Wieldera to Tour the South and Visit Savannah. The Wisconsin Press Association is to be gin a southern tour Deo. 1, taking in Macon, Atlanta, Savannah and all point* in Florida. Tbe Msooiation will spend next Sunday here, and will no doubt be shown some courtesies by tbe member* of tbe local press. A number of tbe South Dakota Press As sociation will accompany the Wisconsin party. Tbe itinerary is a neat pamphlet, con taining many complimentary things of the aoutb. A selection from it says: "The route as outlined will penetrate the east, west and central parts of the southern states, will give us the opportunity to visit sugar and rioe plantations, great Vegetable gardens with produots just ready for northern markets, pick oranges, figs and pomegranates at will in the leading orch ards; to eat strawberries right from the vines; to see phosphate mines and what it means to the south; to gather shells on come of the keys in the great Mexic sea; to— well, everything and anything that a boepitable and enterprising i*>ople can think of to make our visit a memorable one to us, r ' 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. Everything point* atrongiy to the selection of Mr. Merritt W . Dixon to succeed ex-Al dermau Bailejq He la one of Savannah’s most popular young business men, aud it is “ majority of the members of the council have stited their preference for Mr. ®l*ctlon will take place at tbe D6xt meeting of tho board.

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.

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.

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: "A pretty and chirrupy ingenue is Mis* Minnie Dupree, the sister of Frank Dupree, the Tammany orator of the district west of CeDtral park. Mr. Dupree was asked by the writer for a photograph and a short bi ographical sketch of Miss Minnie iu view of her clever and really brilliant work ai the Ingenue in ’A Gilded FooL’ And here is the result of the request, showing the young lady in eo piquant and vivacious a ligut that the sin of printing her letter is to be condoned in the interest of ’sweetuess and sunlight’ upon the world: Mr Dkah Brother -You say they want my picture and a short biographical sketoh of my •'military career” for the Sunday I'ress. Well, inclosed is the photo. But. honestly, now, do you think the biography of a small ingenue— hlght 5 feet, weight 97 pounds—could possibly be of any Interest to any one?

Or yet any thing else you would like me to say? Only please let me off the "biographical sketch." and oblige “The Small Oibl."

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. THE WEEK’S FOOD. Meats. Vegetables and Fruit Made a Fine Exhibit. Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens’ Sani tary Association, in bis report of in spections of the weak, ending last uight, ears that food produce of all kinds except oyster* made a go 3d exhibit in the Savan nah market during the past week. Dressed meals, on cutting, showed particularly fine, the western cold storage meats keeping con siderably ahead in size aud fat of the do mestic, but the latter showed well in tbe cutting. Fish was abundant and in great variety and excellent condition all through the week owing to the cold, crisp weather. Green vegetables were also abundant and exhibited great variety, suoh as cabbage, cauliflower, turnips (both Swedish and rough), carrots, parsnips, onions, beets, spinach, lettuce, celery, snap bams, lima beans; green pease and radishes. Bananas, pineapples, oranges, lemons, apples, Japan persimmons and grapes also showed up well. In Olden Timas.
