ginning of what is to-day the chief sea
rt city of the South Atlantic. A cen
rary and half of progression has built up
both the place and the people.
The colonization of Georgia differed In
It. inception, and In the character of the
liret settlers, from that of the other ori
ginal states. Gen. Ogiet'norpe having se

maha rivers, and westward to the Pacific
ocean, then in dispute by Spain and Eng
land. His Idea was to occupy it by pro
viding an asylum for the poor of Eng
land, and the Protestants of all nations,
where former poverty would be no re
proach, and where all might worship God
without fear of persecution. He
made arrangements to take possession
of his lands promptly, and sailed from
Gravesend, on the 17th of November, 1732,
with 129 colonists, in the ship "Anne,” for
Charleston. Arriving on the 13th of Jan
uary, 1733, the "Anne” was ordered to
Port Royal, in Carolina, for the purpose
of transferring the colonists and their
goods Into smaller vessels. The military
garrison and the citizens of the town of
Tom-o-chi-chi.
Beaufort received and entertained the
new-comers -with generous hospitaity.
Mean-while, Oglethorpe proceeded to the
Savannah river to select a suitable situa
tion for a town. Deciding upon a site,
and having made a treaty with Tomochl
eht, chief of the Indian nation occupying
the country, he returned to Beaufort on
the 24th of January, and on the 30th he
Oglethorpe at 75 Years.
’'mharkod his peope for their new home,
nich was reached on the Ist of February,
ana re tents were pitched, bedding
na necessary stores landed, and the party
ir nped on shore. This was the first occu
at>on of Georgia, and the birth of Sa
'annah.
Coi later - Oglethorpe, assisted by
• " llliam Bull, an engineer officer, who
had been sent over from Charleston, by
the governor of Carolina, for the purpose,
marked out the squares, the streets, and
forty lots for houses; and on that day-also
the first dwelling was begun, and the set
tlement named "Savannah,” from ths riv
er on which it was founded.
At peace with the Indians, and encour
aged by Carolina, the settlement prosper
ed, and Oglethorpe was enabled to report
to the King’s ministers at home a satis
factory account of his success. The ship
"James.” Yoakley, master, came in soon
after, from London, with an assorted car
go, and is recorded as the first ship which
arrived at Savannah.
In the summer of the same year the set
tlers assembled on what Is now Bay
street, and. after a devotional service, In
which they thanked God that the lines
had fallen to them in a pleasant place,
they divided their land into lots, designat
ed their wards and tithings, and organized
a government for the Infant town. In 1766
the settlement consisted of 100 dwelling
houses, with churches and other public
buildings. In 1776 it was lost to the British,
who took It again in 1778, but formally
ceded it to the Americans in 1783. In 1789
Savannah was made a city, and next year
elected her first mayor.
In the division of the town into wards,
four wards—Heathcote, Perctval, Derby
and Decker—were laid off, and each sub
divided into four tythings, and the five
streets intersecting them at right angles
were named, in honor of five Carolinians,
who had particularly aided the colony,
Bull, Whitaker, Drayton, St. Julian and
Bryan.
In the same year, 1733, the first court of
record was instituted, its officers being
three bailiffs, or magistrates, a recorder,
acting also as clerk, and twelve freehold
ers as grandjurors. and the civil admin
istration of the colony began Its existence.
Soon after the establishment of these
provisions for the good order and protec
tion of the town, its population was fur
ther increased by tho arrival of a number
of Israelites from London, who came also
at their own expense, and who, notwith
standing the opposition of some of the
trustees to their settling in Georgia, were
well received by Oglethorpe and the colon
ists. They, however, did not remain long,
because of the civil disabilities imposed by
the charter of the colony, and removed to
Carolina, with the exception of the three
families, Minis, DeLyon and Sheftall. who
determined to remain and cast their lots
with Savannah, and whose descendants,
in their successive generations, have been
useful and prominent In their allegiance
to her.
Oglethoroe remained with the colony a
year, and then returned to England, tak
ing with him Tomochlchi, whom, for dip
lomatic reasons, he desired to present to
his majesty and his ministers. The Indian
chief and his suite had no cause to be dis
satisfied with their reception and treat
ment In England. Objects of curiosity, as
well as philanthropy, they were caressed
by royality, the nobility and the people,
and fitting allowances were made for their
support and entertainment.
His business in England accomplished,
Oglethorpe re-embarked for Georgia, No
vember, 1735, with 300 additional settlers,
In twp ships. Including In their number two
remarkable men, brothers, whose subse
quent careers have Influenced the theolo
gies of England and America in a wonder
ful manner. These men were John and
Charles Wesley. Their career In Georgia
however, was comparatively short. John
Wesley preached his first sermon In Amer
ica March 7, 1736, upon the text XIII
chapter of I Corinthians—“ Christian Char
ity.”
Tomochlchi died In 1738. Oglethorpe was
one of his pall bearers. Tradition says
that hts body was burled near where the
Gordon monument now stands, in Court
House square- Five years after that
Oglethorpe left Georgia for the third time,
and finally, for England. The town had
then Increased to 350 houses, exclusive of
public buildings. The government of Ogle-
thorpe had been military, but after his
departure, it devolved upon the trustees
in England and the local authorities in
America. The colony, never very strong,
languished under the injudicious manage
ment of the trustees, and the general
characteristics of the settlers. Colonists
were deserting to Carolina and the other
American possessions, or returning home,
and at last, in 1752, the trustees, in de
spair, "resolved, on account of their ut
ter inability to support the cUony, to make
absolute surrender of the charter.” The
resolution was carried into effect, and
Georgia became a royal province.
Passing over the intervening period of
128 years, with its paralyses of two for
eign wars, and devastations by fire and
civil war. the Savannah of to-day is
reached. There are far vaster and
wealthier cities, with more commerce and
culture, but none with greater prospects
of becoming the great city of the south.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY’ 2, 1896.
THE PLINETS FOR FEBRUARY.
GIGANTIC Jl PITER THE GREATEST
IN INTEREST.
One Thousand Three Hundred Times
Greater Than the Earth and Still
Hot, It Is la a Most Favorable Po
sition Now for Observation on Ac
count of Its Proximity to Is—All of
the Planets on the Same Side of
the Son This Month—Mercury Still
Evening Star, Bat Will Pass Out of
View la a Few Days—Venus the
Morning Star and Easily Recog
nised.
The peculiar feature of the planets for
this month is that all of them are on
the same side of the sun.
Mercury, which has Just passed Its peri
helion, may still be seen as evening star
at dusk, close to the horizon, and not far
from the sun. It will pass out of view
In a few days and reappear after the Bth
as morning star. It will be In inferior con
junction on the Bth.
Venus is now morning star, and easily
recognized by her brilliant light. She ts
situated a little south of the sun's track,
about half way to the zenith at day break.
This planet is now moving almost direct
ly from us at a rate of twenty-two miles
a second.
Mars Is also morning star, but its great
distance renders the observation of this
planet unfavorable. However, we are
gaining rapidly upon Mars, and in a few
H €/? T U Kg.
S' or
m
months we will be nearest to this world
so like our own. On the 10th Mars will
be only 3% degrees north of Venus, and
this circumstance together with the ruddy
appearance of Mars will enable anyone
to locate the planet with ease.
No one can mistake the brilliant Jupi
ter, now high up in the east at dark, and
in a most favorable position for observa
tion. Only the blazing Sirius farther to
the south could be taken for this gigantic
planet. Jupiter is always an object of in
terest whenever visible, but is proxim
ity to us now emphasizes that interest.
A good opera glass will reveal one or
more of its five moons, and a good tele
scope will easily show the strange mark
ings upon its surface. Jupiter is more
than 1,300 times as large as the earth,
and is believed to be still quite hot. Its
rapid rotation on Its axis, in about
ten hours, produces a perceptible flat
tening of the poles. No better time could
be chosen for viewing Jupiter, and those
who possess glasses would do well to turn
them upon thlq interesting world.
Both Saturn' and Uranus are morning
stars and are close together, but we must
wait about three months to see them at
their best advantage.
In the north Ursa Major lies east of
Polaris; Ursa Minor and Draco are below,
Cappicus west, and Cassiopeia above and
to the west. In the east Leo Is rising,
Cancer Is well up, Gemini midway, Tau
rus on the meridian, Aries past, Pisces
next, and lastly Aquarius setting. In the
southeast Orion and Canis Major are con
spicuous, and nearly overhead is Auriga,
with Perseus and Andromeda toward the
west. Otis Ashmore.
A Bicycle Track in Park Extension.
Editor Morning News: One has but to
spend one of these pleasant afternoons
at the city park to realize how great the
bicycle craze Is in Savannah, and one
can but commend such outdoor exercise
if performed discretlonatcly, in place of
the continuous solitude of the office, store
or studio, and the bright rosy looking
faces clearly testify -to the value of such
outdoor exercise In building up good
healthy constitutions among the classes
not able to own and care for horses and
carriages for their dally drives and recre
ations.
Therefore, the idea suggests itself that
since the bicycle rider has taken the city
by storm, and crowded its streets and
thoroughfares, if the street committee
put some shell or cinder on a track around
the outer edge of park extension, so as
to make a light roadbed for bicycles. It
would meet the hearty approval of all
citizens, for even those who do not ride
a wheel would be glad to have the pleas
ure riders concentrated at the park and
not continue to cumber the public thor
oughfares.
This track could be built at little ex
pense to the city, as the park Is now
level enough to require no grading and
some of the new bicycle, tax money could
be used to make the improvement. Be
sides the above advantage of this track,
it would be a pretty sight for anybody to
witness the merry riders as they go flying
around the arena like the Jolly skaters
of the north. “A. Wheeler.”
Most Excellent, Says Sir Henry
Irving.
Sir Henry Irving, when' in Savan
nah, was seen golrlg to the theater puffing
a fine cigar, and with a box of the smok
er's delight under his arm. The following
to the Cortez Company, explains the situ
ation: "I thank you for your courtesy
in sending roe a box of your ‘Heman Cor
tex’ cigars. I have tried them and they
are most excellent. Truly yours, Henry
Irving.”

the De Soto hotel cigar stand.—ad. I
WEEK OF cpMKDY AND DRAMA
‘•The Girl I Left Behind Me” To-mor
row Matinee nnd Night.
Monday matinee and night "The Girl I
Left Behind Me."
Wednesday night, Robert Downing, in
"The Gladiator."
Thursday makinee, Downing. In "A
French Marriage,” and two acts of "In
gomar.”
Thursday night. Downing in "A French
Marriage,” and "The Gladiator."
“The Girt I Behind Me” was seen
here last year, and made a big hit. It ts
a play that undoubtedly stands above all
other military plays of the day. There is
no clap trap, no striving after effect, no
mobilising of large fofices eft l the stage,
but through it all is a vein of suppressed
excitement which finds ebullition In the
third aot. There is not a moment where
one's excitement and interest is not keyed
to the highest pitch, anxious to
anticipate the movement of the plot.
The authors of the play are David
Belasco, whose name figured in connection
with "The Wife,” and "The Charity Ball."
and Franklin Fyles, the dramatic editor
of the New York Sun. Its scenes are the
surroundings of the military posts In the
northwest. It is probably the first time
the Indian has been introduced decently
into a play. By "decently” is meant with
out his scalping the majority of the other
actors In full view of the audience, and
without the remaining actors, or possibly
actor, shooting down a long and Impos
sible file of the red men. It Is also, [tet--
haps, the first time the Indian wrongs
have been handled with effect on the stage.
The story is this: Through a train of fa
vorable circumstances, Lieut. Barlow
wins the promise in marriage of Gen. Ken
nion's daughter, Kate. She loves Lieut.
Hawksworth. An Indian uprising takes
place and the fort, and men and women
are in danger of death. Barlow proves
himself a coward and lays the blame on
Hawksworth, who rests under a stigma
which the plot falls to remove until the
last act, but before which he proves him
self a gallant man and a dauntless hero.
A side issue character, MaJ. Burleigh, Is
Introduced for the purpose of causing Bar
low’s downfall. Barlow disgraces Bur
leigh's wife years before, and a photo
graph burled with her when she dies Is
Anally sent to Burleigh. It is a picture of
Mrs. Burleigh’s traducor. Tills discovery
exposes the vllllan, allows everyone to
marry and Gen. Kennlon closes the show
In stentorian tones, “Union Forever.”
Mr. Downing and his company of artists,
headed by Eugenie Blair, will present The
Gladiator Wednesday and Thursday
nights. Thursday night the dainty little
curtain raiser, A French Marriage, will
also be given.
Asa special bill for the ladles and chil
dren, nothing more attractive could be
offered than the two plays which will be
presented Thursday afternoon. The per
formance will commence with A French
Marriage and will be followed by the sec
ond and third acts of Ingomar, with Mr.
Downing as the barbarian and Miss Blair
as Parthenia.
An interesting programme is being ar
ranged for the entertainment to be given
at Masonic temple Feb. 12, for the benefit
of the Sacred Heart church. Some excel
lent choruses, with orohestral uccom
. panlment, will be rendered; with quar
tettes, duos and solos. At the conclusion
of the concert, quite a novel feature will
be Introduced, the dairy maids drill. This
is something new, and never having been
presented in Savannah before, will no
doubt prove a hit.
CITY BREVITIES.
Other able ministers of the primitive
faith will assist in conducting the meet
ings.
Elder P. G. McDonald of the Primitve
Baptist church will preach this morning
and evening at Chatham Artillery hall.
Train No. 28, on the Central railway,
will hereafter leave Lyons daily, except
Sunday, at 1:15 a. m., arriving In Savan
nah at 5:30 a. m.
Henry Miller, colored, was arrested last
night by Policeman John Farrell for rid
ing his bicycle without a light- This is
the first arrest of the kind since the po
lice begun notifying the bicyclists re
cently that they must not ride at night
without lamps.
Nellie Irwin, the young woman who was
found in Chippewa square at 1:30 o’clock
yesterday morning in an almost nude con
dition, and was taken to the Savannah
hospital in the police ambulance, left the
hospital for home yesterday, having re
covered sufficiently to do so. The young
womhn is unfortunately addicted to the;
morphine habit, and was under the influ
ence of the drug when found by Polico
man Larissey.
The Primitive Baptist church of Savan
nah has secured the services of Elder W.
C. Cleveland and two other elders, and
will hold services every evening, beginning
to-day unill Friday. Elder Cleveland has
the reputation of an eloquent, Ihsiructive
and entertaining speaker. He graduated
at Athens University, served in the war
as colonel, practiced law several years,
but finally has given up his other profes
sions for the ministry.
Anew schedule will go into effect on
the Plant System to-day. Train No. 21,
leaving Savannah at 2 p. m., will be dis
continued. Train No. 25, leaving at 12:40
f). m. daily, except Sunday, will perform
ocal service between Savannah and Jesup

between Charleston and Jacksonville, on
the New York and Florida special, trains
37 and 38, will be discontinued on and
after to-day.
Two sick colored men and one
sick white man were reported to
the police last night. A sick
negro, who was found Jn Burch’s
stable, at Congress and Drayton streets,
was sent to the Georgia Infirmary. Very
shortly after a white man was reported
sick in a house at No. 19 Drayton street.
As the man was already In a house, the
sergeant at the barracks refused to have
the man taken to the hospital without a
permit from a physician. This case was
still under discussion when It was reported
to the barracks that a negro was lying
in Gaston street lane, near Lincoln street.
The ambulance was sent out and the man
taken to the Georgia Infirmary. Such
cases have been numerous of late, and
there Is seldom a day passes without at
least one such case being reported to
the police. The number of ill and home
leas persons seems to be on the Increase.
