LIKELY TO GO VERY SOON
CONGRESSMAN LESTER AND THE
LOCAL OFFICES.
He Expects Fresident Cleveland to
Give the Democrats an Early Dsal
This Time—He Has Indorsed Nobody
and Will Walt Until the Matter Is
Referred to Him—Dr. Brunner May
Go to Rio—The Fight on Savannah's
Harbor Appropriation— Work on the
Public Building to Begin in a Month
or Two.
Congressman Lester returned from
Washington yesterday and was warmly
weloomed by h s many friends. lie sa\s
Washington is live.y now with
seekers, and every place one turns he is met
by somebody loosing for a government
Job.
Congressman Lester thinks Presi
dent Cleveland will not wait, ns
he did before, for the terms of tha collector
of port and postmaster here to
expire before appointing their democratic
successors. He thinks the President will
make changes at an early day, but in
reply to au inquiry as to who he thought
would get t:.e plums. Congressman Lester
answoed! “You know as much about it
as 1 do. I have not indorsed any one yet.
It has been the usual custom for the Presi
dent to refer appointments to the congress
men of the different distrusts, and when
this reference is made to me it will be time
enough to act. ”
CAPT. WHEATON DISQUALIFIED.
Congressman Lester aided that nobody
has authority to say he had indorsed any
one for the postmastershin or for collector
of the port. “If Capt. W heaton," he said,
“were not disqualified under President
Cleveland’s determination not to appoint
those who held office under him before,
which I thiuk he will rigidly adhere to,
there would be no question as to who would
be Savannah’s collector. Mr. Beckwith has
the indorsement of Senator Gordon, but
there is no telling who will receive the ap
pointment.
"The President," said Congressman Les
ter, “only has something like 500 offices to
give out, and yet up to date he has 30,000
applicants, so you can see bow many will
be disappointed. Every state has its rep
resentatives in tha big army of office-seek
ers almost to a sufficient number to take
half the offioes.
DIU It RUNNER FOR RIO.
"Dr. Brunner,” he added, ‘ ‘stands as good
a ohanoe as anTbody to get the oonsul gen
eralship at Rio. He haa strong backing, aud
if the President wants at that post a man
thoroughly acquainted with yellow fever
and other diseases the doctor will ataud a
very good chauco. I have done all I can
for him, and be haa also secured the in
dorsement of Senator Gordon.
"CoL Let ill, if he had made application
for the consul generalship at Havana,
which he oonciuded not to do, would
undoubtedly have got it. He hod tho sup
port of both senators, besides that of
Speaker Crisp, Congressmen Turner, Rus
*e!l, myself an l others.”
Congressman Lester thinks Ed H. Callo
way of Waynesboro will bo district attor
ney for the Southern district of Georgia,
and Frank Leverett of Eatonton will get
the marsbalship.
The congressman Is much amused over
the suggested primary for the selection of a
postmaster for Atlanta, "but,” said he,
"Atlanta is liable to do almost anything.
Suppose the defeated candidate for the post
office should oontest the election.who would
deoidei
ATLAXTIANS ACTING THE FOOL.
“If those Atlanta folks start that kind of
thing President Cleveland will look upon
them as a parcel of fools and go outside al
together for a postmaster.
“I think the newspapers know a
great deal more about the trouble
between Senator Gordon and
Congressman Llvingstm about appoint
ments than these two gentlemen know
themselves. The reports are greatly exag
gerated, in my opinion. I heard they had
a little misunderstanding about their re
spective rights as to appointments, but I
believe every thing is settled.”
Congressman Lester says the humorous
stories told about the oflioe-soakers by tho
newspapers are true in some instances. He
said about the funniest thing he her rd was
what President Cleveland told Pod Dis
inukes, who wanted anything so long as it
was an olfice. “Dismuke-,” said tho Presi
dent, "you want too many things. Pick out
an office and keep your eye on it till it is out
of sight. That is the way to try for a gov
ernment job.”
THE FIGHT FOR THE HARBOR BILL
Congressman 1 writer said there was a bit
ter fight waged on the appropriation for the
Savannah harbor. First the committee
only wanted to give Mm #500,000 and then
be was offered *750,000, but he demanded
81,000,000, and finally after a struggle he
succeeded in getting the appropriation
through the House, Then the Senate came
back at him with a reduction of the appro
priation to $750,000 and a proviso that only
75 por cent, of the amount cr uld be ex
pended during the fiscal year. Col. Lester
then went to work with Senator Gordon
before the Senate committee, and although
they succeeded in gettiDg the appropriation
Lack to $1,000,0 )0 the proviso preventing
the expenditure of more than 75 per oent.
of the amount during the fiscal year re
mained in the bill.
"This, however, does not interfere at all,”
said Congressman Lester, “ t.eoause the.day
after the fiscal year expires Capt. Carter
can go ahead with the other 25 per cent."
The fiscal year begins July 1.
THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
There is a prospect for an early beginning
on Savannah’s new public building. In the
original arrangement for the sale of the old
site at Aberooru and York streets a mistake
was made, which the solicitor of the treas
ury decided would prevent tho making of
proper titles, and Congressman Lester sue*
ceeded in getting a bill through on the last
day in the sundry civil bill correcting this.
Then he was told that the first controller of
the treasury had given the opinion that the
money derived from the saie of this prop
erty could not, ut any rate, be de
voted to the new b aiding. but
would have to he covered back
iut" the treasury. Ho called on the con*
troller and before he left everything was
satisfactorily urrauged, and the supervising
architect was told he could draw his plans
to include the monev to be got out of the
sale of the original site.
Congressman Lester called on Secretary
Carlisle about the matter Thursday, and
the secretary issued orders to have the plans
and work on Savannah’s new public build
ing started as early as possible. The gov*
ernmeut advertises the sale of the Abercorn
aud York streets site to-day lu the Morning
Hews, to take place April tj. Congressman
Lester expects work on the new building to
commence within a month or two.
A JOB WHICH IS BEGGINO.
Up to last t ight Cong essman Lester said
be had received no application for his
clerk-hrp as provided by the act passed
just beiore iho adjournment of congress.
The congressman feels that he has been
•lighted in t o rush after presidential
prizes and would litre to Pave some appli
cants. lie wants to feel tne experience of
giving out a single job among a tug crowd
of seekers, and hopes to have applications
•ent in soon to his ofiice. The clerkship
will pay *IUO a month during the session.
The qualifications which the lucky man
must have, Congressman Lester Bays, are
ability to speak about a dozen languages,
including Persian, and be a stenographer
and typewriter, with a knowledge of how
to deal with politicians.

CONFIDENCE IN REORGANIZATION.
The Impression That the Southwestern
Is Favorable Firmly Establishes It.
A gentleman from Macon who knows Dr.
Baxter, president of the Southwestern road,
says he has been Informed that the report
of the Southwestern ooramittee is in thor
ough harmony with the plan for the reor
ganization of the Central system.
All reports in regard to its contents have
thus far been favorable, and there seems to
be no doubt but that such is the case.
There is some question, however, whether
any arrangement can tie made to postpone
the time for depositing the securities until
after the -outb western stockholders
bold tbeir meeting In Macon, and in faot it
is thought that suoh action will hardly be
necessary as the put lioation of the report is
expected to settle all doubt in the minds of
the stockholders in regard to depositing
their securities.
The reports which have already gone out
in regard to the report of this committee,
being all of a favorable nature, have
awakened confidence, and have determined
the action of many security holders in the
Southwestern and, in fact, all the other
Central properties. This is evidenced by
the fact that Vice President Crane of
the Southern Bank has been kept busy
during the last week issuing receipts for de
posits of stock aud securities which have
been flowing in of late at a rapid rate.
The impression that the report of that
committee is a favorable one has also made
firm the confidence of many in the reorgan
ization plan, as they were competent men,
and gave the matter full and careful In
vestigation. The report will be forthcom
ing in a day or two.
THIRTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
That is the Basis on Which M. Stern
bars Will Settle.
The prospeota are favorable for an early
settlement of M. Sternberg's affairs on the
basis of 30 per cent. A oommittee of his
largest creditors met in New York a few
days ago, and, after a consultation with
Emile Newman, Esq., of tbs firm of Gar
rard, Meldrtm & Newman, attorneva for
Mr. Sternberg, agreed to this settlement,
provided 85 per cent, of the creditors would
sign the agreement, which, of course,would
eventually bring in the other 15 per cont.
Mr. Sternberg’s total indebtedness aggre
gates *70,000. There are etghty-six credit
ors and up to date Mr.Newman has secured
the signatures of creditors representing
*53,000 of the olainis. lie needs only *ll,-
000 more to swell the list to 85 per cent, aud
expects to get them by next Saturday, when
the hearing is to be had ou the permanent
receivership question. If Mr. Newman can
show to the court that a large majority of
the creditors are willing to a settlement at
30 per cent, he expects to have the bill dis
missed.
A. L. Alexander, Esq., attorney for the
Jewelers’ Board of Trade, represents
thirteen claims, aggregating *B,IOO. Four
of these creditors to the amount of 12,000
have accepted the settlement agreement
and Mr. Alexander has recommended to the
other nine that they do likewise. Charlton,
Mackall & Anderson represent eight cred
itors with claims of *4,30(1. Three of these
have accepted, and, like Mr. Alexander, the
firm has recommended to their other ollenti
to come in. All these will probably accept
in a few days, and by Saturday Mr. New
man expects to have more than the required
85 per cent, of signatures.
According to the terms of the agreement
Mr. Sternberg can have thirty days after
the acceptance of the agreement in which
to make the settlement, but he hopes to ar
range matters in less time than tha’, so as
to be able to resume business about May 1.
AN INrEKVttNriCfN FILED.
Savannah Bondholders of the Mari
etta and North Georgia Act.
A petition was filed on Saturday last In
the office of tho clerk of v.he United States
court in Atlanta by Peacock, Hunt & Cos.,
the Southern Bank, the Merchants’ National
Bank and several citizens of this city for
the privilege of becoming intervenors in the
litigation surrounding the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad.
The intervention sets forth that the peti
tioners own 119 Minds of that road, valued
at SI,OOO each, which are secured by a mort
gage deed of trust dated July 1,
ISBL The petition prays that they
may Intervene in their own behalf,
and that they may become a pqrty to other
proceedings that may arise from any fur
ther complications. The appointment of
Mr. Elias Sumiuerfield as co-reoeiver of the
Marietta and North Georgia with Mr.
Glover, it is thought, will renew confidence
in the reorganization plan of that road, and
it is thought that it will, as soon ba adopted,
put the road upon a paying bußis. The pe
tition for this appoiutmeut will be heard
before Judge Newman this week.

KILLED ON AN ELEVATOR
ONE MAN MEETS INBTANT DEATH
AND ANOTHER INJURED.
An Elevator Rope Breaks at the Sa
vannah Carriage Company’s Ware
house and a Loaded Elevator Drops
Three Stories—John Bolden Crushed
In a Pile of Boxes and Joseph Gold
berg Gets a Broken Arm—The Coro
ner's Investigation.
John Bolden a colored porter at the
Savannah Carriage and Wagon Company’s
establishment, at Broughton and Jefferson
streets, was instantly killed yesterday morn
ing by the fall of the elevator, and Joseph
Golil berg, a messenger boy, was badly
hurt.
The accident was caused by the breaking
of the oable from its fastening in the celling
which let the elevator with its two pas
sengers drop forty feet. Bolden and Gold
berg were loading harness on the platform
of the car to take to the first floor wheu the
cable parted and the elevator started on its
fearful slide. Bolden was stooping at the
time and the momentum was so great that
he could not recover himself to straighten
and when the car struck the oellar floor and
bounded backward with the shook his body
apparently folded and his head went
down between two boxes, striking the floor
and breaking his neck. Goldberg was
thrown out across the floor with a broken
arm and several severe bruises. His escape
from death was miraculous. He was taken
to his home at 30 Margaret street, where
Dr. Norton attonded him.
Coroner Dixon was summoned at once,
and when he removed Bolden’s body he
found that odo of the legs was also broken.
He allowed the dead man to be taken to bis
home in Liberty street lane and summoned
a jury of inquest. The jury met at 3 o’clock
in the afternoon and made a thorough ex
minatlon of tha elevator and shaft and the
manner in which the cable had been fast
ened.
The jury found that it had only been
secured in the socket by means of a lot of
nail 9 driven around the wire into which soft
solder had been poured. An adjournment
was taken to Coroner Dixon’s office, where
Mr. William Keboo and Mr. Lceb Cohen,
who had examined the elevator, testified
before tbe jury as experts that the cause of
the aooidenc was the careless manner in
which tbe oable had been secured.
The jury returned a verdict that Bolden
came to his death from the fall of the ele
vator, on account of its Imperfect construc
tion, and placed tbe responsibility on tbo
contractor, Mr. John Hulllvan.
The elevator is a Bates safety. It was
only put in position last week, and the first
day it was used tbe cable ran off the wheels.
A similar elevator in A. B. Hull’s establish
ment broke twica Eighteen months ago
the cable ported, and the oar went to the
cellar with 2,000 pounds of lard. No one
was hurt then, but a few months afterward
the ratchet did not work and the car went
to tbe bottom again, breaking a man’s arm.
Another Bates safety in J. il. Dixon & Co.s
store, at No. 141 Bay street, fell from the
breaking of the oable last month.
Bolden was 30 years eld and was married.

OPERA'S GOOD NIGHT.
The Company's Opening Performance
Packs the Theater to the Doors.
Savannah lovers of comic opera have
now a iplendld opportunity to gratify their
taste by attending the performances of the
Grau Opera Company. Last night In its
rendition of “Boocaccio" it delighted the
large audience by a masterly performance.
The chorus is exceptionally strong and large
In numbers, and tbe principals, too, are
above the average.
Miss Alice Caillard as "Boccaccio” last
night charmed ill who heard her. She has
a good voice, pliant and pleasing, and is ex
tremely graoef ul.
Miss Bessie Fairbairn, as “Fetronella,”the
grocer’s sister, carried the house by storm
by both her acting and singing. She is
clever and, notwithstanding the attempts
to disguise her looks, she is very handsome.
In her riding song last night she was made
to respond to three enoi res, and sho made
a most favorable and lasting impression on
her audience. •
Miss Ada Bernard,a “Lotteringhi’j Wife,’,
was a dainty bit of femininity aud saug
charmingly. She is pretty and piquant.
Mtss Edith Mason,os "Fiametta,” was very
attractive in that role, and her singing was
greatly appreciated.
The comedians, Messrs. Stanly, Felch
(“Lamhertuccio” the grooer,) and Gilbert
Clayton t“Lotteringhi” tbe cooper,) are very
funify, and kept the spectators in roars. Mr.
Clayton has a good voice aud his cooper’s
song was very good indeed.
Mr. T. H. Feme, “Pietro the Prince,”
has a splendid, rich, mellow voice, and acts
gracefully. He will make himself a warm
favorite by the end of this week. Mr.
Francis Gailiard was also capital in the role
of “Leonetto," and although he did not
have much of an opportunity to display his
powers, still he made a most favorable im
pression.
Altogether the company is unusually
strong, and they will no doubt score a suc
cess here, as the Savannah people are very
fond of comio opera.
To-night “Said Pasha" will be presented.
It will also be the first appearance of Misses
Ward end Delmaire, the Spanish dancers.
The attraction to follow the Grau com
pany will be Daniel F< ohmau’s company in
“The Charity Bali.” The play is considered
to be the most attractive of those written
by De Mille and Belasco, in faot, it is asked
for by local managers throughout the
oountry more than any two of their other
works. This is due to the entire absence
of sensational or melodramatic effects,
everything about it being simple and true
to every-day life. There Is no straining for
effeot and tha oomsdy is spontaneous and
natural. The company has been rehearsed
uurler the direction of Manager Frnhman
at the Lyceum thrater and'hasalready been
seen here thiß year in “The Wife." New
scenery and elaborate modern costuming
will aid to its effectiveness.

during the third week of May ia order to
give tbe merchants time to wind up their
first of the month business. Others thought
that it was essential to look to the con
venience of tbe guests as well as to that
of the merchants, and os the latter part of
May is a busy time with the oountry peo
ple, many of whom will attend, the above
dates were agreed upon. Asa further ad
vantage it was announced that Mr. Johnson
had agreed to have a good troupe at the
theater during that eutire week.

THURSDAY FOR TYBEK DAY.
Thursday, May 11, will be Tybee day and
the city’s guests wili be entertained with va
rious amusements at Savatmah’s sum
mer resort.
Opposition to this special feature of the
programme was displaced by the dosire
on the part of some to put
it off until the last day of the celebration.
The objections to this were that people put
their shopping off until ready to depu.it, us
a rule, and this would leave them little time,
as a great majority of those who attend
would be compelled to return on Saturday.
The motion to make Friday Tybee day was
lost, and someone moved to put it on Tues
day, tbe first day of tho celebration.
“i’ll give the celebration #500,” spoke up
Alderman O’Brien, “if you make Thursday
Tybee day, and if you don’t I won’t give a
cent.”
That, of course, settled the matter, and
Thursday was made Tybee day. The special
features of that portion of the programme
will be taken in hand later by the commit
tee on programme. The finance committee
will go to work at onoe on raising the neces
sary funds, aud they request that the
merchants consider that their solloi
tation of contributions is not at
all a personal matter, but a general one in
which all are concerned alike and they are
expected to act aooordingly. The funds
will have to bo raised at once so that tne
committee on programme can arraDgo a
series of amusements commensurate with
the amount subscribed. The saloon men
are also requested to take notice that there
will be no open house this year to interfere
in any way with their business and they
will be expeotsd to contribute.
headquarters obtained.
Arrangements have been made to seoure
the room in the northwest corner of the
basement of the De Boto, formerly occupied
by the Savannah Bank and Trust Company,
and Mr. Watson has agreed to furnish "it
with necessary furniture, lignts and a serv
ant to keep tDlngs in order. Hereafter all
meetings of the association and of the com
mittees will be held there
A number of tbe committees meet there
to-night to begin their part of the work.
Tbe enthusiasm over the celebration lias
grown during the last few days until now
everybody is talking about it, and almost
everyione has some suggestion to make con
cerning what should be done to ad vance the
movement.
A special committee on bicycling will be
appointed to look after arrangements for
sports in this line, and an afternoon
at the Wheelmen’s park will probably
be a prominent feature of the programme.
Other matters are being talked of, and thero
seems to be little doubt that Savannah can
arrange a list of amusements for such an
ocoasion, which cannot be equaled by any
other city in tbe south.
TERRORIZING HIGHBINDERS.
New Tnctlcs of San Francisco Police
in Dealing With the Outlaws.
Han Francisco, Cal., March 19.— Never
since Chinese first came to the Paoiflo coast
here KAn Francisco polioe been Bo energetic
in their efforts to suppress highbinders and
their methods as now. They realize that if
a highbinder is pulled down from his pedes
tal as a bad roan in the eyes of his country
men his power for exacting tribute will bo
gone. Accordingly they have been con
stantly raiding Chinatown for tbß last few
days and every known highbinder and thoso
whose looks proclaim them such is searched
for anus, ami if none are found they are
kicked and cuffed, and clubbed until they
disappear from sight. As a result of this
policy Chinese laborers and merchants who
at first looked with horror at police daring
to treat warriors in such a manner now hoot
and jeer at the discomfited highbinder as he
is propelled from tie vigorous too of :he
policemen. The Chinese consul general has
uutted with the chief of police lu his efforts
to crush highbinders.

A WRESTLING LION.
Rather a Dangerous Sport, Eut It
Please* the Crowd.
From the Sporting Life.
Roused to emulation by the instantaneous
success of the boxing Kangaroo, London
variety managers have been hustling to un
earth a rival athletic novelty. The Oxford
theater of varieties believes it has at length
filled the bill, and now expends its display
type on a wrestling lion.
When the curtain was drawn up the lion
was discovered in a huge caze, making the
usual parade from end to end of bis prison
house peculiar to his species. In a br*sf
speech C. R. Brighten, the courteous man
ager, stated that the lion was born In the
forest, and was brought to England four
years ago. He has been tw > years uuder the
care of Amousa, who is a West ludian and
black as ebony, with gleaming eyes, and
teeth os white as the driven snow. Standing
5 feet lO'.j inches, and weighing close on 15
stone, he looks the personification of
strength and courage. Quietly bo entered
the lion’s cage, and at a sign from Alex,
the brute reared himself up aud tho pair
“took hold” in the Cumberland fashion,
only neither oould clasp hands around tha
body.
The first fall was given in favor of his
majesty the lion (whose name, by the way,
is Prince), who simply, by superior weight
iu the upper part of his body, boro bis op
ponent down fiat on his hack. Again the
couple got into grips, the lion apparently
very unwillingly this time. After a litt.e
maneuvering Alex, attempted to twist the
king of beasts on his back, but failed la
mentably, both falling side by side. Con
sequently a "dog fall” was recorded. For a
while the lion rested on his haunches until
in a catch-hold bout Alex, threw him very
cleverly by a regularly well-executed twist.
Tne fourth and last fall wont to the sable
champion, who very adroitly beck-hurled
the leonine hero of the wrestling arena, and
fell plump upoD him. At the close of the
wrestling Alex, opened the jaws of the lion,
and, while holding them, apart, placed his
head in the animal’s mouth aud took a sur
vey of the contents of his stomach. After
that Prince fired a pistol which was sus
pended from the roof of the cage, and then
Alex, and the lion lay down on the floor to
gether aud positively cuddled eaoh other.
Talk of the lion lying down with the iamb,
that performance, if it ever comes off,
hasn’t a look in with what took plaoe at the
Oxford yesterday afternoon.
fieforo being supplied with h!s customary
afternoon luncheon his majesty eats a couple
of snacks of beef from Alex, s mouth, and
seemed to enjoy the toothsome morsels. By
no means the least interesting of the twain
is Alex. Amousa, who has been a lion hunter
and lion trainer and tamer from his youth.
He is a very attractive conversationalist,
and speaks modestly of himself. Stating
that he knew little of the art of wrestling,
aud was not particularly oonversant with
such chips as tbe back-heel, the cross-but
took, the inside click or the flying mare,
but. with a merry twinkle in bis intelligent
eye, he signified that he oould take his own
part. Alex, is not certain as to how many
pounds avoirdupois Prince weighs at the
present moment, but he states the Hon is
above the ordinary size and weight, and is
a little ovor 6 yours old, and the most tract
able of bis species he has met with.
SHOWS SIGNS OF RECOVERY.
Breckenrldgo, tho Mysterioua Sleeper,
Aroused for Brief Periods of Time.
Winamao, Ind., March 19. —W. R. Breck
enridge, the Chicago man who has been
sleeping since Monday evening, shows some
signs of recovery. Physicians and friends
have been working with him constantly for
the last twenty-four hours trying to arouse
him, but so far have been unable to keep
him awake over a minute at a time. He is
unable to speak, and is now paralyzed on
tbe right side. Tho case is a mysterious
one, as Breckenrldge is not known to have
taken any opiates. He breathes heavily and
does not reoognize any one when he opens
his eyes. His son arrived last night from
Chicago, but is unable to give any,idea as to
the cause of his father’s illness.
