FIXING MAYORIAL CABINETS.
UOTH CLI BV TO HOLD BIG H ALLIES
TO RECEIVE THEIR TICKETS.
JlrelinK of BolH Commitlces of 100
Held Lout Bite;lit—A Great I*retene
of Secrecy, Ilot Their Work Pretty
Well Known—The Citizen* Clob
Ticket to He Completed To-duy.
Eleht of the Present Board Slated
to Kuu Again.
There will be very little discussed oil the
street to-day but politics and the probable
action of the two clubs at their meetings
to-night to nominate candidates for mayor
and aldermen. Uoth meetings will he large
ly attended and it is unnecessary to add
that the attendance will excel anything in
the campaign so far.
The nominating committees of 100 from
each club met last night, the Citizens Club
committee in Odd Fellows' hall, and the
Liberal Club committee in the hall in the
Lyons’ block. Neither-committee was in
session very long, considering the work
In hand, and the members of both were on
the streets by 10 o'clock. An effort was
made to invest the work of the eommitees,
Inciuding the discussions in the commit
tee rooms, with a shroud
of secrecy. It is reported that
there were some very interesting discus
sions in the committee rooms, but as they
cannot be given authoritatively it might
not do to mention the gossip. If the stories
of rejected aldermanic timber are true
there may be some developments later.
The Liberal Club committee is understood
to have completed its work. The Citizens
Club committee has not yet done so, but
expects to finish up'to-day.
The Liberal Club Committee of ten
made its report to the committee of 100,
and the twelve aldermen were selected,
after which some member proposed a res
olution that every member of the com
mittee bind himself by solemn pledge not
to divulge the terrible secret as to who
compose the ticket, until a report is made
to the meeting to-night. So lar as fifteen
or twenty members of the committee of
100. who were seen, were concerned, they
rigidly adhered to this resolution.
The reason for not giving out the ticket
appears to Is* that the committee is fear
ful that influences will he brought to
bear which may prevent SQine of the can
didates from running. As much was
stated by one of the committee.
There is little doubt, however, that some
member has divulged the names of those
on the ticket, and that this morning it
will be common street talk.
Eleven of those on the ticket have al
ready been talked about. Among ihem
are Charles Seiler, John K. Lubs, Abe S.
Guckenhelmer, A. L. Well, J. J. Cardan,
William Duncan, John Lyons, George W.
Owens, William F. Reid, M. W. Dixon and
David Wells. It is reported on very good
authority that Mr. E. C. Gleason was not
put on the ticket and that some of his
friends are very sore about it.
After the meeting of the committee of
100 had adjourned, the .campaign commit
tee, or the committee on ways and means,
held a meeting.
The Citizens Club committee of 100 met
in the supper room of Odd Fellows’ hall,
ami was in session about an hour ami a
half. Mayor Myers was unanimously
nominated for re-election, and a commit
tee was appo.nted to wait upon him and
notify him of his nomination. This lias
been a foregone conclusion for some time.
The work of nominating the aldermanic
ticket was not so easily gotten through
with. According to the statement of sev
eral of the leaders who were present there
was a surplus of aldermanic timber, and
it was impossible to complete the selec
tion. For this reason the gentlemen who
were appealed to declined to give out a
statement of action of the meeting. It
presented of members of the club and
was stated that twenty-three names were
presented of members of the club and
supporters of the administration,who were
considered sufficiently good material to be
worth considering. In this number are
included the members of the present board
of aldermen, whfeh means that eleven or
twelve gentiemel nof members of the
present board are under consideration.
It was decided, however, that the ma
jority of the members of the present hoard
should be placed upon the ticket. These
are Aldermen Garrard, Falligant, Hud
son, Screven, Ltffler, Lamotte, Tiedeman
and Watson, and possibly Alderman Ha
con. The last three have stated that they
did not desire a renomination. Alderman
Tiedeman is said to have withdrawn his
refusal, however, at the request of Mayor
Myers. Aldermen Watson and Tiedeman
are uncertainties, but can be on the ticket
if they desire.
The committee from the Germania Club
presented the names of three of its
members for consideration, Messrs. Jacob
Pauisen, John Juchter and Albert H. En
telman. Mr. Paulsen is a certainty, and
it is likely that either Maj. Juchter or Mr.
Entelman will be on the ticket. Mr. W.
TANARUS, Leopold is another certainty, if he will
make the race.
A committee of twelve was appointed to
confer with the parties whose names are
under consideration and to make its re
port back to a meeting of the general com
mittee at Odd Fellows' hall at 7:30 o’clock
to-night, when the committee will make
up it* report to present to the meeting at
8:30 o’clock.
The Liberal Club will meet at Masonic
hall to receive the report of Its committee
of 100. Maj. Meldrlm’s letter of acceptance
or declination will also la- read.
Mr. James Mcßride stated yesterday that
the use of ids name in connection w ith the
call for a meeting of Irish Americans at
Odd Fellows’ hall Sunday afternoon was
unauthorized by him. He says he did not
sign his name to the call and knew noth
ing of it until be was shown a copy of the
circular which had been distributed.
Rallies of colored voters were held in
nearly every precinct last night. A big
meeting was held at Duffy street hall, at
which Rev. E. K. Love presided.
The Young Men's Campaign Club met
last n'ight at its headquarters on Randolph
street. W. 11. Logan, chairman, presided.
Speeches were made by J. H. Porter, Hen
ry Edwards, James Singleton and Aaron
Wilson. The club has over 100 members.
A resolution was passed {fledging the club
to the support of the Liberal Club ticket
unanimously. Maj. Meldrim’s name was
enthusiastically cheered.

vie anil Miss Julia Mimstleld Starr.
■Dr. William Hardwick Davis and Miss
Julia Mansfield Starr wiere married last
night at 8:30 o’clock, at the residence
of the bride’s parents, at No. 20 Harris
street, west. The parlors were beautiful
ly and tastefully decorated with numer
ous palms, flowers and evergreens, and
many of the intimate friends of the bride
and groom and their families were pres
ent to witness the ceremony, and to join
in congratulations to the bride and
groom and in wishes for a bright and
prosperous future.
It was a doubly interesting occasion,
being the twenty-difth anniversary of the
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Wellington W.
Starr, their silver wedding, and they, as
well as the bride and groom, were the
recipients of many handsome presents
and many hearty congratulations in
honor of that occasion.
The wedding ceremony was performed
under a beautifully spreading arch of
palms, formed by two large potted palms.
While the march from Lohengrin was
played the wedding party entered the par
lors. through one door, ftrst, little Misses
Cecilia and Annie Starr, carrying the
white ribbons, .anil fallowing them the
maid of honor, Miss Gibbs of Augusta,
and then the bride, with her father, Mr.
W, W. Starr. They were met just under
the arch, where stood Rev. W. A. Nisbet
of the Second Presbyterian church, by the
groom, with his best man, Mr. W. W.
Starr, Jr. Rev. Mr. Nisbet performed the
ceremony in the usual solemn and impres
sive manner characteristic of
the Presbyterian church, after
which Dr. and Mrs. Davis
received the congratulations of many
friends. A most enjoyable reception fol
lowed the ceremony.
The bride Is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. \V. Starr. She Is a young lady of many
charms of manner, and her many admira
ble qualities have attached to her hosts
of friends. Dr. Davis is from Eatonton.
He is a young physician who is rapidly
forging his way to the front. Mr. and
Mrs. Davis will, for the presen', reside at
the home of the bride's parents on Harris
street.
THE MYERS FOUNTAIN LOCATED.
Will lie on tlic Hall Street Walk
Between Hull and Whitaker.
The park and tree commission decided
at its meeeting yesterday afternoon to
place the fountain, presented to the city
by Mayor Myers, on the Hall street walk
between the parade ground and Forsyth
park, half way between Bull and Whit
aker streets.
The commission considered this the
most convenient location for the members
of the military and the crowds which fre
quent the parade ground on holidays.
The fountain Fas not located at the junc
tion of the Hall street walk with the main
walk of the park because it would be
overshadowed by the park fountain and
the confederate monument.
The commission hopes that some other
public spirited citizen will present a sim
ilar fountain which can he placed on the
same walk between Bull and Drayton
streets
The fountain will lie placed in position
in a few days. The work of bronzing it
will lie done here, probably under the su
pervision of Director Carl Brandt of the
Telfair academy.
MAY ELECT TO-MORROW.
Directors of Hie Merchant* Nnltoniil
to (house n Cashier.
The officials of the Merchants' National
Bank have had several applications for
the position of cashier made vacant by
the death of Mr. W. W. Rogers.
Mr. Rogers was considered one of the
best caehlyrs the bank has ever had, and
his loss was deeply feft by the board of
directors on account of his ability in hand
ling the affairs of the bank, as well as on
account of his many noble traits of char
acter as a man which were appreciated
wherever he was known.
The board of directors of the bank held
a meeting yesterday to consider the ap
plications. and it is said a successor to
Mr. Rogers was practically chosen, though
no election was hold by the board. The
matter was held over for business reasons,
and until the selection is made (he direc
tors will say nothing aliout it. The elec
tion will probably take place at Wednes
day's meeting of the board, as it is impor
tant to till the position at once.

To-day will be observed as a general
holiday in honor of the birth of Gen. Rob
ert K. Lee. The banks, exchanges and
public offices will be closed, and there will
be a suspension of business so far as
it is practicable. The Secretary of the
Treasury has directed the closing of the
custom house; in fact, nearly all of the
government offices will be closed.
The military parade will he the princi
pal demonstration. The First Regiment
of infantry, the First Battalion of infant
ry, the Naval Reserves, the Chatham Ar
tillery and A Troop First Regiment caval
ry will constitute the parade.

same veneration for Gen. Lee as that
which their predecessors felt for him, not
GEN. ROBERT E. LEE.
Whose Birthday the South Celebrates To-day.
only as a consummate general in the eausq
for which they fought, but, as has been
said of him, as 'a pure and brave m in
of noble carriage and commanding dig
nity, exercising a mesmeric Influence and
hidden power upon all who approached
him; as a Christian man, to whom tne
performance of duty was the mainspring
of pll his actions, and as one In whom the
intellectual attributes were so combined,
symmetrical, equal and developed, that
the world has accepted Robert E. Lee ns
the true type of an American man an I
southern gentleman.' "
Following the parade of the enlisted
troops the Lawton Cadets will parade,
leaving the regimental armory at 4:30
o’clock and following the line ot march of
the troops to the park extension, where
they will have a dress parade'
The observance of Lee's birthday Is be
coming more general as the years
roll by. The south loves to honor
the memory of the great military chief
tain. In connection with the day and its
memories the following lines by Margaret
Preston are expressive:
Yes, let the tent be struck,* victorious
morning.
Through every crevice flashed in a day
Magnificent beyond all earth’s adorning.
The night Is over, wherefore should he
stay.
And w herefore should our voices choke to
say,
■ "The General has gone forward,”
Life's foughten field not once beheld sur
render.
But witli superb endurance, present,
past,
Our pure commander, lofty, simple ten
der.
Through good, through 111, held his high
purpose fast.
Wearing his armor spotless, till, at last,
Death gave the final “Forward!"
All hearts grew sudden palsied, let what
said he.
Thus summoned, “Let the tent be
struck!" for when
Did call of duly tail to find him ready,
Nobly to do Ills work in sight ot men.
For God’s and for his country's sake—and
then
To watch, wait, or go forward.
We will not weep, we dare not! such a
story
As his large life writes on the century’s
years
Should crowd our bosoms with a flush of
glory
That manhood’s hope, supremest that
appears.
To-day he shows the ages, nay. no tears,
Because he has gone forward.
"Gone forward?" whither? when the mar
shalled legions,
Christ’s well worn soldiers, from their
conflicts cease ,
Where Faith's true Red Cross Knights re
pose in regions
Thick-studded with the calm white tents
of iK'ace,
Thither, right joyful to accept release,
The General has gone forward
•"Let the tent be struck," were among
Gen. Lee’s last words.

MRS. C. B. CARSON’S VERDICT.
Testimony Head In the Libel Suit
Against the Birmingham.
The sealed verdict in the breach of prom
ise suit of Mrs. Charlotte B. Carson
against Mr. William Roberts, Sr., was
opened In the United States court at 10
o’clock yesterday morning and was found
to he in favor of the plaintiff for 1750 and
costs, as stated in the Morning News.
The verdict of the jury became generally
known on the streets on Sunday, but at
first there were two or three reports with
regard to it. Mr. Roberts is said to have
been very much surprised when informed,
before the verdict was opened, that even
a small verdict had been found against
him. as he thought it would be entirely in
his favor. He was opposed to paying
even II damages. The parties to the suit
were not in court when the verdict was
read, the plaintiff having left the city on
Saturday night to return to her home.
It is ,ikely that the suit will stop where
it stands, though neither side is satisfied
with the verdict. Still on the one hand
it is a email amount, and on the other it
gives the plaintiff practically the vindi
cation that she sought, even though the
vindication was a small one. The amount,
it is said,will be Just about sufficient to pay
her expensles in bringing the suit. It was
a suit of a peculiarly interesting charac
ter from beginning to end, as well on ac
count of the unusual and amusing nature
of the testimony, as on account of the
prominence of the parties interested.
The only other matter of importance
which came up in the United States court
was the libel suit of P. Sanford Ross
against the steamship City of Birming
ham of the Ocean steamship line, for dam
ages to the libellant’s dredge No. 9, in
which it was alleged that the Birmingham
carelessly and negligently ran into the
dredge, damaging it to such an extent
that the expenses for repairs, survey, etc.,
were .$1,038.72.
The claim on the part of the Ocean
Steamship Company was that the dredge
was lying directly in the way of the
steamer so that it was impossible for it
to get to the .dock without striking it,
though every effort was made to do so.
The testimony in the case was read to the
court and Judge Speer took the papers to
j consider it.
An order for the sale of the schooner
Bertha was granted on application of Wil
liam Pease, Ks<i, Who represented several
of the seamen who libelled the vessel for
wages.
The indictments in the cases of Mrs. J.
11. Cooper of Charlton county, and Mathew
H. Lamb of Emanuel, charged with retail
ing spirituous liquor without a govern
ment license, and against J. L. Southwell,
charged with embezzling money order
funds, were nolle prossed on motion of the
district attorney, Maj. W. T. Gary, it be
ing shown to the court that the ends of
justice had been satisfied by the extent to
which the prosecution has gone.
TO THY THE DAI VTLESS CASE.
11 Will tmne Ip In the U. S. Court
To-day.
The famous Dauntless case will come up
in the United States court to-day .
The charge against the Dauntless is a

cense and without being registered.
Hon. H. J. Provatt of Brunswick, attor
ney for the Spanish government, and

It was from Woodbine that it is alleged
one of the expeditions, which the Daunt

custom house, which boar on the case.
LAWTON CADETS’ NEW FLAG.

The Lawlon Cadets were presented a
handsome company flag last night. The

FAILED TO SECURE A JURY.
THE SILMVA'T-O'SiEILL TRIAL BE
GIT YESTERDAY.
Only Eleven Jurors Secured Daring
tlie Day Ont ot ISO Who Were Sum
moned—The State Had Twenty
Strike* and the Defendant* Forty.
The Eleven Jurors Were Locked
Ip for the Night, and Other* Were
Summoned to Appear This Morn-
Inn, From Which the Jury W ill Be
Completed.
The trial of Maurice F. Sullivan,
charged with the murder of a negro
named Freston Brooks, and of Simon
O’Neill, charged with being an accessory
to the crime, was begun in the superior
court yesterday, and will, without doubt,
take up all of to-day, if it does not last
longer.
The great delay was caused by the trou
ble in securing a jury. It was decided
that the defendants should be tried joint
ly, both the state and the defendants be
ing agreeable, and this gave them twenty
strikes each, and also doubled the num
ber of strikes allowed the state, giving it
twenty, instead of ten.
More than seventy jurors were on hand
when court convened at 10 o’clock, and
when they were exhausted only nine
jurors had been secured for the trial.
Twenty-four more were summoned for
the afternoon session, and all of these
were either struck or went off for a cause.
Out of about ninety-five jurors, who were
impaneled only nine were selected for
the case. The state struck fifteen, the
defense thirty-five, there were thirteen
who went off for cause, and the others
who were summoned, were either excused
or did not appear in court. When the
jurors' summoned for the afternoon ses
sion were exhausted, Judge Falligant
drew thirty-six more from the box and
ordered them summoned to appear at 7
o’clock, until which time he adjourned the
court.
It is hard to account for the large num
ber of jurors yrho went off for cause, and
those who were struck in this case. The
cause which several of them gave, was an
affirmative reply to the question as to
whether they were biased or prejudiced
as between the state and the accused,
and there were several also who objected
to capital punishment.
The court room was crowded with spec
tators, while the drawing of the jury
was in progress. They seemed to be as
much interested in that as they would in
any other features of the case. The tivo
prisoners sat near their counsel, Messrs.
T. S. Morgan, Jr., F. 11. Oliver and Rob
ert M. Hitch, who carefully studied each
juror presented to them, and in most
cases after consultation, it appears, de
ckled on a strike.
The court reconvened at 7 o’clock, at
which time the additional thirty-six ju
rors had been summoned to be present.
All of them, however, did not appear, as
there were some who could not be reached.
The effort to secure a jury was then re
sumed, but only two more jurors were
secured from the lot. They were Messrs.
Fred Myers, Jr., and W. W. Chisholm, Jr.
The defense exhausted four more of its
strikes and the state three more ot' those
to which it was entitled, leaving the
former only one more and the latter two.
Some more jurors were drawn from the
box by Judge Falligant and ordered to
report at the court at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. at which time the jury will be com
pleted and the trial will proceed. The
eleven jurors so far drawn are: Arnold
Seyden, W. C. Barthelmess, Solomon D.
Horton, Henry A. StuJts, John J. Walker,
Charles A. Perry, Samuel K. Ward, B.
Palmer Axson, Fred Myers, Jr., and W.
W. Chisholm, Jr.
Preston Brooks was killed on the night
of Nov. 9 at the corner of South Broad
and East Broad streets. The evidence
before the coroner’s jury all pointed to
Sullivan as the man who did the killing.
O'Neill was with Sullivan. Brooks and
O’Neill had had some trouble early In
the night. It appeared that they had
formerly been very friendly. biTt that some
difference had arisen. O’Neill called
Broo ii out of Crum’s dance hall at South
Broad street lane and New Houston
streets to inquire about another negro
for whom he had a warrant.
After talking together for awhile there
was a dispute about something which had
been said by one of them. O’Neill under
took to arrest Brooks and the latter re
sisted and struck him once or twice in
the head. Brooks went to the barracks’
office with a friend and reported that he
had been assaulted by O'Neill and Sulli
van. He requested their arrest. After
leaving the barracks he went down South
Broad street to the corner of East Broad
street, where he met O'Neill and Sulli
van.
The accused claim that tjiey were at
tacked by Brooks and his friends. The
negro witnesses assert that O'Neill and
Sullivan at once attacked Brooks, and
that both pursued him, Sullivan with a
pistol. Three or tour shots were fired.
Brooks ran out into East Broad street,
and then back into South Broad street
lane, where he was found dead under a
stoop not far from the entrance to the
lane. He had been shot through the
heart. The coroner's Jury brought in
a verdict of manslaughter, but the grand
jury afterward brought in a true bill for
murder.

fantry. Georgia Volunteers, colored, open
ed last night at the Harris street hall un
der the most favorable auspices.
The formal opening of the fair was made
ceremonius, Rev. J. J. Durham, pastor of
the Second Baptist church, delivering an
address appropriate to the occasion. He
eulogized the military, alluding lo the ne
cessity for their maintenance and the aid
the organized forces, by their being ever
in readiness, for the suppression of vio
lence and disorder, gives to tlie course of
progress and civilization.
A large crowd was in attendance. The
regiment attended in a body, assembling
in uniform, without arms, at Liberty and
Jefferson streets, and, under command of
Col. J. H. Deveaux, marching to the hall.
Many very handsome articles, largely
the donations of the white merchants of
the city, are displayed, and will be disposed
of.
The fair will continue for ten days. If
every night proves as successful as the
opening it is destined to realize the fondest
holies of Its promoters.
The Best Way to Cure
Disease is to establish health. Pure, rich
blood means good health. Hood s sarsa
parilla is the One True Blood Purifier. It
tones up the whole system, gives appetite
and strength and causes weakness, ner
vousness and pain to disappear. No other
medicine has such a record of wonderful
cures aa Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Hood's Pills are the best after-dinner
pill; assist digestion, prevent constipa
tion. 2ic.—ad.

‘CADETS AWARDED MEDALS.
Seventeen Get Badges For Atten
dance nt Company Gatherings,
Seventeen medals were awarded last
night at the meeting of the Savannah Ca
dets, for ICO per cent, averages in attend
ance at company meetings during the
year 1896.
Col. A. R. Lawton ot the First Regi
ment presented the medals in a neat
speech. As each man stepped forward to
receive the reward for perseverance and
attention to duty, Col. Lawton made some
appropriate remarks. Particularly was
this so when Corpl. W. E. Coney received
his bar, which, marked 1896, gives him a
row of five, which, with the initial medal,
represent an attendance of 100 per cent,
for all the years since 1891.
Corpl. R. E. Banks and Privates A. J.
Thorpe and J. R. Cowan stand next to
Corpl. Coney in the record of the best
average attendance for the last six years.
They have the initial medal and three
later bars added.
Those having the medal with one pen
dent bar, which means two years of mili
tary promptness and constant attendance,
are Lieut. R. P. Lovell, Sergt. J. B. Gau
dry, Corpl. G. A. Kriete and Privates J.
M. Johnstone, Jr., J. S. Maner and Elmo
Maner.
Capt. J. F. Brooks and W. M. Coney,
J. B. Goodman, H. C. Hardy, Jr., E. J.
Kieffer, Jr., D. H. Millard, S. W. B.
Purse, W. A. Reaves and F. Sloat, Jr.,
received medals for their first year's 100
per cent, averages.
This system of giving medals in recog
nition of attendance was inaugurated by
the cadets six years ago. When a man
gets his first year's 100 per cent, he re
ceives the medal with the year marked
on it. As his average continues at the 100
mark for each year a bar pendent is
added, with the year marked upon.
When the medal represents six years’
perfect attendance, as in Corpl. Coney's
case it presents a handsome appearance.
The average attendance, in response to
all orders and at the usual drills, tor the
entire company last year was 89 per cent.

Carolina.
Abram Manlgault, colored, mention of

the constable the trouble between the two
men grew out of the presence of an Irish
ditcher, who came to the place drunk and
with a plentiful supply of liquor. He
offered, it Manigault would take care of
him until his drunk was over, to pay him
for his trouble and divide his liquor with
him, to which Manigault agreed.
Manigault drank freely of the Irishman's
whisky, but after the latter had gotten too
drunk to move Manigault iett him lying
on the ground outside his cabin. Tillman
reproached Manigault for his bad faith.
After cursing each other and quarreling,
Manigault picked up an ax and strnek
Tillman in the temple, fracturing his
skull, from the effects ot which he died
the next day. Manigault fled to Georgia.
The constable sent word to two acquaint
ances in 'Savannah who also knew Mani
gault, and asked them to have the latter
arrested. The men found Manigault on
the street and pointed him out to Police
man Ungar, who made the arrest.
