MAY WEEK IN LIVE HANDS
PRESIDENT PURSE ANNOUNCES
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
A Canvass to Begin at Once to Prov de
Funds for the Festival—The Com
mittee on Programme to Be Ap
pointed as Soon as a Sufficient Fund
Has 3een Subscribed to Insure the
Success of the Celebration.
If good financiering means anything there
is little doubt now as to the suoeesa of the
May week celebration.
A committee from the Merchants’ Asso
ciation was busy yesterday and day before
canvassing tbe city to secure the consent of
a uumter of prominent and successful busi
ness men to act as members of the fiuatice
committee to take the matter of raising
funds for the celebration in hand. Tbe re
sult was that, with only one or two excep
tions, every man solicited agreed to serve
and go to work in earnest.
Mr. B. H. Levy was made chairman of
the committee on finance, aud tbe other
members are as follows; I. M. Frank,
Thomas Screven, Harry Parsons, L. Adler,
A. B. l’almer, C. 8. Connerat, W. W. Starr,
A. P. Solomon, A. Ehrlich, W. J. Lindsay,
J. A. Bates, Lawrence Kelly, L. Collat,
T. J. Davis, J. S. Collins, J. A. G. Carson,
George Meyer, W. J. O’Brien, S. E. Theus.
G. A. Hudson, Clem Saussy, D. Hecht, J. M.
Dixon, W. W. Hussey, J. M. Jackson, Hugh
Logan, A. C. Harmon, C. D. Baldwin, J. T.
Bhuptrine and 8. Krouskoff.
It will be seen at ouoethatthiß is a strong
committee, and with such a sentiment as
has been manifested during the past week
in favor of May week, their efforts will
doubtless meet with every desired suoce s.
The idea is to have the flnanoo committee
go to work at onoeand ascertain the amount
of money that will bo contributed and made
available for tbe occasion and then a separ
ate committee will take tbe matter of a pro
gramme in hand, that is the programme
will be made commensurate with the lunds
contributed.
This by no means argues that the pro
gramme of entertainment will be limited or
curtailed In any way, for every merchant
seen so far has expressed a willingness to
contribute liberally to the fund, many of
them, however, making tbe proviso that the
free dispensation of intoxicants be omitted
from tbe programme. Tbie latter feature
will no doubt be left out entirely.
In tbe meantime tbe idea of making tbe
association a permanent organization grows
upon the minds of all interested, and the
association will, no doubt, be so declared
subsequent to tbe approaching festival.
President Purse has enterod into the
work with energy and determination and
he is strongly in favor of the auditorium
Idea suggested in the Morning News and
the proposition to combine all of Savan
nah's festal occasions into one 'grand
celebration. The proposition is a taking
one and no doubt with little agitation it
will assume some material shape.
Another meeting of tbe association will
be held early this week, at which the
flnanoe oommittee will make its report, and
tbe other corcmitteee for furthering the
plans for the occasion will be appointed.
The time is short now for making prepara
tions, but the wave of euthuslaem which the
dlsouesion has already brought up will
probably tide the committees over that dif
ficulty by bringing out all their energi;*,
and impelling them to quick work tied
earnest endeavor.
THE TRUCK GROWERS COMPLAIN.
They Say That Through Rates are Too
High to Afford Them Margin.
The truok growers of Charleston and
vioinity are to have a hearing before the
Bonth Carolina railroad commission on
April 80 in regard to the matter of through
rates to northern markets, which they claim
are too high to afford them reasonable mar
gin, and it is highly probable that the Chat
ham County Truck Growers’ Association,
which is direotly interested in the matter,
will endeavor to eo-operate with them to
the matter.
Secretary Exley of the Chatham county
association says appeals have been made to
tbe railroads which handle the truck traffio
from this section to grant lower rates, and
also to give points along their line widen
have members in the association a rate which
will put them on a parity with this point.
This latter request has been refuted, and
practically nothing has been doue in regard
to the former.
The matter of rates will be brought up at
the next meeting of the association here on
April 1, and the replies sent by the railroad
officials will be considered.
A rate is desired which will give the
season a comparative equality throughout.
For instance, in the beginning of the season,
when produce brings good figures, very
little oomplaint can bo made; but when
prices are materially reduced the produce
many times scarcely pays the freight
oharges.
Be: rotary Exley says if nothing else can
be doue, tbe association will probably ap
peal to the railroad commission for a hear
ing in the matter. The truck growers do
not demand a great reduction, but simply
the establishment of rates on an equitable
basis, which will allow them a fair earning
during the entire season.
A SUCCEo: FLL FINANCIER TALKS.
Mr. Henry B. Hyde Discusses Various
Matters of Interest.
Mr. Henry B. Hyde, president of the
Equitable Life Insurance Company of New
York, spent several days at the De goto,
and bos gone to Jekyl Island, where he will
spend a few days before returning north.
The Equitable is an extensive holder of
Central railroad securities, and is taking an
important part in tbe reorganization piau
now on foot.
Mr. Hyde was questioned concerning a
proposition to buy the .Screven bouse build
ing, which It was said his company had
been considering. Ha denied that any
such arrangement had been considered but
said that the company is arranging to in
crease its output in this sect on very
materially, though just at what time the
plans will be consummated for such an ex
tension of its business be did not say.
Mr. Hyde spoke especially of the excel
lent s tisfaction given by Air. George 8.
Haines as local manager of the Equitable,
•nd referred to him as the next postmaster
of Havauuah.
When asked about Jekyl Island Mr.
Hyde, who is one of the original members
of the Jekyl Island Club, said it had met
with more success perhaps as a club island
than any other on the Georgia coast, as it
possessed every advantage that tbe northern
visitor to such a resort desired.
A WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Her Clothes Cau -ht Fire and Her
Body Wrapped In Flames.
Dr. Enrique Saturnine Hartley, rector of
tbe Episcopal eburob at Burroughs on tbe
Savannah, Florida aud Western railway,
and also a practicing physician, wus in the
city yesterday and gave an account of the
burning to death of a colored woman at
that place. The name of the woman was
Sarah Coleman. She was about 39 years
old. Last Thursday she was at work" in a
field burning rubbish and doing otner
things. Her clothes caught lire an 1 before
she received help she was fatally burned.
She was carried to the residence of Dr.
Hartley and had her wounds dressed. Hue
died Friday.

TO NEW YORK FOR REPAIRS.
The Chattahoochee and Tallahassee to
be Given a Thorough Overhauling.
The steamship Chattahoochee of the
Ocean steamship lice left last night for
New York, where she will be laid up for a
general overhauling. The Chattahooobee
1 is commanded by Capt. H. C. Daggett, one
of the ablest seamen that has ever sailed to
and from this port, and withal one of Ihe
most pleasant and polite gentlemen that
one will meet anywhere. His weekly visits
to Savannah will be missed by his many
friends, who will live in the hope that it
will not be long before he is here again.
Tbe Tallahassee, Capt. Askiut, who It alio
a very popular commander, is in the dooks
now at New York undergoing repairs, and
will be there for some days yet. This takes
two of the big ships from the New York
line with no other to supply their places,
and hence only three trips will tie made
each week until these ships are put in
thorough order. The steamship company
has au extra ship which is generally put on
the New York line when any are taken off
for repairs, but owing to the recent acci
dent to the City of Macon, wbith is now
iying at Boston for repairs, the extra ves
sel was put on the Boston line, and the
shortage wilt continue on the New York
line until all repairs are made.
The steamship company is taking ad
vantage of the dull season to have all of the
ships thoroughly overhauled, and as soon
as the Chattahoochee and the 'Tallahassee
are on the line again others will be put in
the dry dock for a brushing up until the en
tire list is gone through with. These steam
ships are thus repaired or overhauled every
year, and are off their line a long or short
time, aocording to the amount of repairs
needed. The Chattahooobee and the Talla
hassee will probably be ready for aervice
again witbin a few weeks at the outside,
and will at once go on the line again.
The City of Macon was put under repairs
In Boston on account of her grounding on
Squash Meadow shoal some weeks ago. The
insurance companies are unwilling for her
to oontiuue in tbe same service without an
overhauling.
THE BYNDIOATE FORMED.
The Southeastern Lumbermen Said to
Have Combined in New York.
It was learned yesterday from a reliable
source that tbe Soutbeadern Lumber Syn
dicate, including tbe various lumber mills
aud dealers in this section, was organized
in New York yesterday.
Tbe object of the combine, or trust, which
has been on foot for some time, and which
a number of efforts have been made to
organize, is said to be tbs establishment of
a regular basis of prioes, and
probably to raise and keep them up at tbe
same time.
The syndicate is understood to include the
Hilton & Dodge Lumber Company, J. J.
McDonough & Cos., J. K. Clark and many
other prominent lumber merohauts and
mill men of this city aud seotlon.
A number of lumber men were seen yes
terday in regurd t > tbe organization of the
syndicate, and while they were aware
that efforts had been on foot
for some time to consummate
such plans, they either knew nothing
about Its formation yesterday or were dis
inclined to say anything in regard to it. It
is hardly probable that in tbe formation of
such a oombino any of tne prominent lum
bermen would want to be left out, as that
would not be to their interests.
Many of the lumber manufacturers de
sired suoh a syndicate m order that they
might get the regular market reports and
be kept posted as to the state of trade so as
never to be at the mercy of the buyer, as
well as to obtain by oc-oparation au advance
in prices. The purpose of suoh a synilioate
as stated by one of tbe movers in the (ilan
in an interview in the Morning News
some time ago is ‘‘to educate tbe less in
formed merchants, oorreot abuses in trade,
raise prices and benefit all who expect
profits from producing lumber.”
SETTLED AT LAST.
Mary Kelly Selects tho Porter Home
as Her Guardian.
The oase of Mary Kelly, the 16-yenr-old
girl, who ran away from Robert N. Stunt,
her guardian, on account of alleged ill-treat
ment, and was placed temporarily In charge
of the ladies of Louisa Porter home by
Judge Ferriil, was settled finally yesterday
in the court of ordinary. Ibe girl a3ked
that the ladies of the home he made her
permanent guardian and as she had arrived
at the legal age to make her own choice her
wishes were respeoied.
Mr. Stunt said that the estate of the girl
amounted now to about SSOO, the balance
having been used toward her support. He
denied ail charges of cruel treatment and
said s e was treated the same as any mem
tmr of his family.
The ladies of the Porter home will send
the girl to a Catholic Institution in accord
ance with the desire of her late parents.
Her property will be turned over to them
for her maintenance.
THB F. C. AND P. DEAL
Mr. Duval Soys It la Cff With the
Plant System.
Rumors of the sale of the Florida Central
and Peninsular railroad, including the South
Bound, to the Plant system, have been cur
rent for some time. The Plant system
officials denied the truth of tbe rumor, and
the Florida Central and Peuinsular people
failed to confirm it. The first information
whioh seems to indicate that there was any
thing in the rumors was a telegram re
ceived in Savannah yesterday from Presi
dent Duval, who is now in New Y'ork, which
lays:
"The stook of the Florida Central and
Peninsular will not be purchased by the
Plant Investment Company or by the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western. The whole
matter is off. Tbs Florida Central and
Peninsular connection to Savannah will be
tlmshed without doubt.”

| OUR BALL BOYS DOWNED.
I PITTSBURG DEFEATS SAVANNAH
BY A SCORE OF 16 TO 10.
Only Six Innings Played on Account
of tb® Lxtreme Cold—Despite the
Disadvantages Savannah's Team
Bhowa Up Well Against the Big
Team—Butler and Connaushton Hit
1 w c -baggers.
About 500 people saw Savannah’s league
team play bail for tbe first time yesterday
afternoon. The game was with tbe Pitts
burg National League club, which won by
a score of 10 to 10.
Savannah's boys, although they lost the
game, showed up well against tbe Dig team,
which bos same of the finest material in tbe
base ball world. The day was a miserable
one for ball playing and the cold biting
wind greatly hampered the men. and ac
counts for the large score on both sides.
Only six inning* were played, both man
agers agreeing that the weather was too
severe to continna for nine innings.
The batteries were Petty and Jamison
and Hurley for Savannah and Gnstrelch
and Abbey and Mack for Pittsburg. But
ler played In left field for Savannah in
place of Schaeffer, who did not arrive until
to-day. He did splendid work w ith the
stick and in tbe field. In the second inning
he won loud applause for a 2-base hit which
netted Savannah two runs.
CONNAUGHTON A FRIZZ.
Coonaugbton piayed magnificently and
proved Manager Manning's claim to hav
ing a prize in him. He is a great “slider"
and made several daring and successful
steals, besides bitting hard. Like Butler he
hammered the hall for two bases in the
last inning and brought in two rung. Mc-
Garr showed up wall as a batter. He
knocked two balls over the left field fence
and they could not be found.
Petty and Jamison, while a
little wild for want of practice,
gave indications that they understand how
to twirl the ball deceptively from the
pitcher’; box. '
Nichols, au a fielder, is unsurpassed, while
Hurly, behind the bat, puts tbe admirers of
tbe game here in mind of Gillen, the
famous catcher of ’St). Meakin also handled
himself well, and Manager .“aiming cov
ered the second bag in a style which could
not he Improved upon. Curtis played first
excellently.
THK TEAM SHOWS UP WELL.
Asa whole. Savannah’s team, for its first
game, played good ball all round, and there
was not tbe slightest complaint, nor any
reason for complaint.
Pittsburg’s team is an aggregation of big
meu who are sluggers with the bat, and
they were given well deserved applause
at every good play. Donovan’s ti-bagger
which netted five runs in the second inning
for the visit. r enthused the spectators to a
high degree. The playing of Mack behind
the bat and his straight throws to second
kept him almost under a continued ovation
during the game. Although the orowd
naturally wanted the home tsaru to win,
yet it could not help hut admire and ap
plaud tha fine work of the visitors.

ECHOES OF THE FEASTS.
St. Patrick’s Day Banquets save Be
hind Pleasant Reminiscences.
The echoes of the 86. Patrick’s day ban
quets and tbe many eloquent speeches de
livered around the festive boards were a
pleasant topio of conversation yesterday
among those who had participated in the
events. The many interesting incidents of
tbe cooasiou will not soon be forgotten.
Col. Armstrong of Charleston, who re
sponded at the Greens’ banquet to tbe toast
of tbe “Irish-American soldier,” was the re
cipient of many congratulations on bis
spesoh. Everybody who heard it pronounced
the resp use a gem of oratory.
In it he paid first a tribute to the Irish
men who served in tbe confederate armies
and then those who did equal gallant serv
ice in the union army. Col. Armstrong
spoke of the heroic charge of Meagher’s
Irish brigade at Frederiossburg, where It
stood the deadly fire of MoLaws’ division of
confederates with a coolness uever sur
passed.
While graphically describing the battle
he uever thought for a moment, how
ever, that within two seats of him
sat Gen. McLaws, who listened intently
to the speaker’s eloquent eulogy of
Irish bravery. W hen Col. Armstrong sat
down Gen. McLaws asked to be introduced,
and Col. Armstrong was quite taken aback,
though pleisantly, so to discover that one
of tbe heroes of the event he had been de
scribing was at his elbow.
Most of the visiting speakers returned
home yesterday.

THBY WERE CAUGHT NAPPING.
The Railroads Will Have to Fay Texes
This Year on Hand.
The passage of the act by the last legis
lature making tax values date back tv
March 1 instead of being given in at April
1, as recently anuounond iu the Morning
News, will probably be tbe means of swell
ing the state’s coffers to a considerable ex
tent.
According to the new law ail property on
hand on March i must be returned for tax
ation, and right here is where the railroads
come in for a good share of indebtedness, of
whioh under the old law they might have
been relieved.
Heretofore tbe railroads iiave been re
turning tbeir property for taxation up to
April 1, and as a general thing they do not
attempt to dispose of their large amounts
of cash on hand, for whioh they may have
no immediate use until a few days before
April I, thus saving the expense of paying
taxes on large amounts of cash on hand.
This year it is said they have been caught
napping, and their books on March 1 showed
large amounts of cash ou hand. This they
did not attempt to dispose of before
Maroh 1, as it was thought
that the returns would he made as usual up
to April 1.
A few days ago they received notification
from the controller general that they were
expected to return for taxation all property
on hand March 1. So there they
were. Their books show on that dato
large amounts of cash on hand
and in many instances other portable prop
erty which might have been hidden out, alt
of which is to be subject to the regular per
centage state tar. It is estimated that taxes
on property of this kind to tbe value of
nearly $1,000,000 will this year flow into the
state’s coffers from the railroads alone.
Of course the change in the law will catch
other corporations aud probably some pri
vate citizens also, hut the large amounts in
the case of the railroads is worthy of par
ticular note.

To-morrow night Grau’s Comio Opera
Company will commence a wees’s engage
ment. presenting for the first time in Savan
nah the original “Boccaccio.” Tbe New
Orleans Picayune says:
“Iloeoacclo," ns presented at the Old
Drury, was a brilliant success, and the re
sult was that the seatiug capacity of the
house was tested tolls utmost.
Jules Grnu’s Opera Company is an art
fully selected aggregation of limshed.vocal
ists, which, when tbe scale of admission
price* is considered, has no peers and but
very few equals. Asa matter of fact, it
readily puts to blush very many more pre
tentious operatic combinations.
i he chore* is a very strong one, and the
ensemble so nearly perfect that it frequently
elicited most flattering applause and com
plimentary expressions
The staging is very pretty and the cos
tuming costly; in many instance* mag
nificent.
Miss Edith Mason sustained the rola of
“Fiametta.” As prhna donna she is charm
ing. Bha has a very swe9t voice of con
siderable scope, at time* displaying that it
is really more powerful than the auditor
would at first imagiue. Tali and lissom,
she is very graceful, and there Is something
of angelio sweetness in her beautiful count
enance.
Miss Bessie Fair bairn is a very good
“Peroueila.” A more than ordinary comedi
enne, possessed of a fine ' voice that she
knows how to use, she established herself in
high favor with the audience from the
start.
As “Boccaccio” Miss Alice Halliard's
rendition is praiseworthy. Her voice is
rich and well cultured; her anting evinces
considerable painstaking and close study.
_ M!s3ss Ada Bernard, us “Isabella,” and
Edith Depew, as “Beatrice," are alio enti
tled to words of praise.
Tbe principal male roles are nblv sus
tained by Messrs. Francis Gaiiiard and
Thomas H. Persse. The comedians are ex
cellent.
Incidentally, a serpentine dance and
widows’ dance, somewhat different from
what have been served up thus far this
season, were presented and provoked con
siderable applause.
This is the first and last opera of the
season.
Tbe Baldwin-MelvlUe Company closed a
v.eok’s successful engagement last night.
“V ages of Sin" was the ploy. The audi
ence was an unusual one for Saturday
night. The company and play were well
received as they have been during the en
tire week. The drawing at yesterday’s
matinee was an interesting feature. Mrs.
Quinn won the hat at Krouskoff’s. Last night
there were two cash prizes of $25 each. W.
H. [Quinau won the first prize and Henry
Shepard the second prize. The company
will leave for Augusta to-day, where it will
begin a week’s engagement to-morrow
night. It will play a return engagement
here May week. Jar. Baldwin has estab
lished the popularity of bis company bore,
and will hardly fail to play as successful au
engagement then as he has just dosed.
Hi non the burning of the Opera Comtque
at Faria, In 1887, it has been the effort of
nearly oil Frenoh theatrical managers to
adopt a speedy means of lowering the iron
curtain in an instant, and electricity has
been found tosupply the demands of both
managers and public for shutting off in
stantly any fire occurring in or about the
stage from the audience. The first theater
in Europe known so far to use the electric
iron curtain is the Comedie Franoais at
Baris. The curtain is hung by four steel
wire ropes which run over pulleys, the
ropes then meeting at and going over a
wooden drum. This is driven from the
pulley by an electric motor.
A step forward has just been taken by
tbe women of the stage by tbe incorpora
tion of the Professional Woman's League.
The objects are: To bring together women
engaged in dramatic, operatic and literary
pursuits with a view of rendering them
helpful to esoh other; to minister to the
pecuniary needs of the members, and aid in
procuring them outfits and other things
necessary in order to obtain employment.
The 2-act drama “Bread on the Waters,”
will be presented by the Fleming Dramatic
Association for the sick benefit fuud of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at
Masonic temple April 4. As the object for
which the play will be presented is a most
worthy one and the Flemings one of tbe
finest amateur organizations in the state, a
large audience will, no uoubt, be attracted.
A full rehearsal wav held last night.
“Tbe Player,” in which Lawrence Han
ley will make a starring tour, beginning at
Norfolk April 3, is taken from the same old
German ploy from which Dumas took "Sul
livan,” and T. W. Robertson “David Gar
rick.” It has been modernized for Mr. Han
ley by Blanche Marsden, a daughter of the
late Frederick Marsden, who has drawn
largely from the original, but also from
both of tbe oelebrated adaptors.

"What shall I have for dinner?” Where
is there a housekeeper or wife who does not
make that remark as soon as she awakes
every morning:
Fortunately for those who have to attend
to the purchases of meats and vegetable*
there is a way out of the dUernma.
The oars.
It makes no difference where the house
keeper lives, she can take a car to the
market. Tho West Broad, the Liberty, tbe
Whitaker, the Abercorn, the East Broad,
tho Price and, iii fact, ail the car lines lead
directly to Logan at the city market.
Tbe new Electric line goes right through
the market and the many purchasers go
directly to Logan’s to make their purchases
of meats of auy kind; while they also go
to the many surrounding otalls and select
their fish and vegetables and have them
Ment over to Logan, who delivers the basket
to their residence and the purchaser is put
to but little trouble.
There is no place in the city where enter
prise and energy is exhibited so much as at
the stalls at H. Logan, where every market
in the world is represented and where there
is always a display of meats aod game that
is not equaled in any city in the union.

Some Suggestions to Ladlea.
It was not surprising to the ladies of Sa
vannah when they visited the Palais Royal
millinery establishment the past week aud
saw the elegant Btyles in Parisian patterns,
hats aud bonnets. The fashion was exhib
ited there. The ladies crowded in the show
rooms to see the elegant styles. The entire
display was attractive, and thoso who ap
preciate the finest goods at the lowest priors
were there. There has never been such a
select number of the various Paris styles as
were exhibited at the Palais Il iyal, and the
compliments upon the styles have been
lavished upon the enterprising proprietor
and tbe artist trimmer* who are employed
at the fushiouable emporium. New and
unique designs in spring millinery will lie
displayed this week, and orders for Easter
will receive prompt attention and be deliv
ered according to contract. The latest styles

A BfIOLY VOICED
BADLY TUNED PIANO WITH
AN ILL-ADJUSTED AC
TION IS WORSE
THAN
NO PIANO AT ALL,
Especially if you are using it f or
your children to practice on.
The ear quickly accustoms it-'
self to BAD TUNE and BAD
TONE QUALITY, and soon a
low standard is formed in the
mind of a young player—a
standard then very difficult to
raise.
If you need a good Plano—
we handle only that kind. If
your old one needs repairing
(and it probably does) we have
