TEXANS BOUND CUBAWARD.
ONE BATTALION AND GEN. WHEAT
ON’S HEADUI VBTF.BS GONE.
The Transport Michigan Put
in Better Condition Than
AVhcn She Carried Tin*
Second lllinolM—Not ()uit<* n•• C
anard Liner” Tot—Tlie Mobile to
Sail To-day AVitU the Remaining
Texans and the Second Lonlninnn
Regiment.
The transport Michigan, which has been
in port all week, sailed yesterday after
noon for Havana with Gen. Wheaton and
headquarters, and four companies of the
First Texas Regiment, together with
horses and wagons. In all there were 24
olttcers, 315 soldiers, and 58 civilian em
ployes.
It is probable that the Michigan went
straight to sea, as she had two hours In
which to get there after leaving her dock.
She only drew 21 feet and three inches.
The Michigan is the ship about which
there has been much complaint on account
of its uncleanliness. By the determined
management of Col. Bellinger, however,
she had been thoroughly cleaned .for the
voyage, and when the men went aboard
yesterday, no complaints were heard.
While she is “not like a Cunard liner,” as
Col. Bellinger puts it, the vessel showed
that much pains had been taken in pre
paring for the voyage, and that the effort
to get things in proper condition had been
successful. All the apartments in which
stock had been carried were gone over,
the decks scrubbed, stalls whitewashed,
and the decks cleaned off in the proper
way. There was a perceptible odor of dis
infectant, a vast quantity of which had
been used in putting the ship in good san
itary condition. As the men had nothing
to say derogatory to the ship, it is sup
posed she is all right, and that they will
be satisfied with their surroundings.
Much of the dissatisfaction in traveling
in the Michigan is doubtless caused by the
fact she is not like the other transports.
She does not begin to compare with them
in comfort, convenience or anything.else.
But Col. Bellinger is making the best he
can of the situation. Considering the con
ditions, he is doing exceptionally well. A
large sum is silent cleaning the ship after
each trip. One of the reasons for com
plaint is doubtless caused by the fact the
ship is not cleaned at Havana. About all
thfe accumulations are carried back, dur
ing whlcn the vessel is badly tainted.
"The discipline on- the transports has
much to do with their cleanliness,” said
Col. Bellinger yesterday. “The proper
thing for the officers in charge is to have
all refuse matter removed at once, and in
this .way there would be no accumulations,
and the vessel would be kept In good con
dition.”
The Mobile will sail this afternoon with
the second Louisiana Regiment and two
battalions of the First Texas, including
about 1,600 men. A few horses belonging
to the Louisiana regiment will also be
taken. The Mobile was pretty well loaded
la3t night, but the property yet to go can
be easily loaded this morning. She fol
lows the others to Havana.
It has not yet been determined when the
Panama will sail with Gen. Keifer. It is
understood he will go some time next
week, however. The next transport ex
pected .will be the Chester, which sailed
for Havana last week. ,
VERTICAL WRITING DOING WELL.
Comparison* Show It to He More Sat
isfactory Than Hie Inclined.
Vertical writing in the public schools
gives promise of being a great success. It
lias been in use now for three months, and
a comparison may be made with the in
clined writing that was taught before the
system was changed.
Last term Superintendent Ashmore had
a specimen of the writing of every pupil
In the city schools. Within the last few
days he has had the same thing done.
Therefore lie has thd inclined writing
that was taught last term and the verti
cal that has been taught since the open
ing of the fall term.
It Is readily discernible upon an exumin.
ation of the specimens of the writing that
the majority of the children make a bet
ter and a neater showing with their ver
tical than they did with their inclined
writing. This, too, is in the face of the
fact that they had been writing under the
inclined system for all the years they had
been at school, while the vertical style
has had only three months given it for its
mastery. This, though, is riot a fair point
in favor of the vertical, as it is infinitely
more difficult to learn to write in any way
than it is to change the hand after it has
been once formed.
Superintendent Ashmore and most of
the teachers have been greatly pleased
with the progress that has been made by
the children with the vertical writing.
They regard it as very encouraging, and
indulge the hope that another three or six
months wijl see the pupils very proficient.
PRESENTS FOR POOR CHILDREN.
Froebvl Circle Will Give Them This
Afternoon at C. L. A. Hall.
The Christmas tree for poor children
will be given this afternoon at the C. L.
A. hall by the ladies of Froebel Circle of

undertaking, and the ladies should receive
every assistance., Those who have not
yet done so, and who may so desire may
yet get their donations accepted. They
may be sent to the hall during the fore
noon or to the home of Miss Nina Pape,
No. 20 Harris street, west. Contributions
f toys, books, candy, oranges, apples,
money, clothes or anything that might

see nothing in Christmas to delight them,
will be gratefully received by those hav
ing the affair in charge.
For some time the ladies have been nc
< nstomed to give Christmas trees to the

A COLORED MAN’S REMEMBRANCE.
Tlie' Secret of Snccess la Life for the
Colored Race.
The Morning News was the recipient yes
terday of three bronze turkeys, weighing
about twenty pounds each. They-were
Christmas gifts to three gentlemen in the
office from Henderson Bialock, a colored
man who has the contract for the heavy
draygge of the establishment. He’ has
a farm near the ctiy and the turkeys were
raised on it.
In presenting the turkeys Blalock took
occasion to say that he was born and
raised a slave and his success in life is
largely due to the example set him by his
oid master in slavery days, and the pat
ronage of his white friends since he was
made free. He has never known anything
but the kindest treatment and never had
any trouble in making a good living. He
thinks every colored man who pays at
tention to his work or business has a bet
ter opportunity to do well in the South,
for he has many advantages which are
not possible with any other race or in any
other country. Colored men, he said, have
only to do like white men, “attend to their
own business and go ahead.”
There are thousands of just such colored
men in the South as Henderson Blalock,
attending to business and making money.
WORKING OIT IHE FLYERS.
Plenty of Good Rnrlns nt Thnnder

Jack Frost. Jas. B. Ready and John
Hogan are expected to arrive to-day with
their stables of runners.
The fencing that was destroyed by the
recent fire has been put up and the track
will be in splendid shape for the Christ

start his programme at 2:30 o’clock and
give the public two and a half hours of
continuous racing.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1898.
TO EAT OYSTERS AT TYBEE.
THIRD GEORGIA REGIMENT GOES
TO THE ISLAND TO-DAY.
The Officers Will Entertain the Men
With an Oyster Roast on tlie
Beach—Novel Experience for the
Men From tlie Interior—First Geor
gia Regiment To Visit the Island
Since tlie Civil NN nr—A Hay of Eat-
Inst and Good Cheer by the Ocean.
The Third Georgia Regiment will invade
Tybee Island Ihis morning, and will spend
several hours on the beach enjoying the
delights of a mammoth oyster roast. To
many of the men it will be the first op
portunity ever had to see the ocean, let
alone destroy the luscious bivalve fresh
from its briny home and within sound and
sight of the waves.
The oyster roast is tendered the men by
the officers of the regiment. It is prob
ably the lost “social function” the regi
ment will have a chance to unite In on
American soil. Almost any day it is ex
pecting orders to move to Cuba. The jolli
fication on the beach will tend to draw
the men still closer together, to give a
savor of Christmas to the season that In
camp partakes so little of the Joyous holi
day period of the home circle, and will
mark the day as one of pleasant memories
for ail.
The regiment will leave camp shortly
before 8 o’clock and march to the depot.
It is thought there will be somewhat less
than 1,000 who will go to the island. The
regular morning train, leaving the city at
9 o'clock, city time, w iil be used, enough
additional coaches being put on to ac
commodate the soldiers. While this may
make the ride to the shore longer than
ordinarily, this will not be objectionable
to the mass of the Georgians, who will
enjoy their first sight of the salt marshes
and creeks, and an occasional glimpse of
the river and ocean on the way down.
Coming back there will be a,special train
for them, leaving between 4 and 5 o’clock.
There is a large crowd to be brought up
from Tybee Regularly on Saturday after
noon, and a special is necessary to ac
commodate the soldiers. The day will be
passed entirely without formality. It will
be an occasion where the only rule of life
will be to “eat. drink and be merry." It
will be a merry crowd, there will be an
abundance to eat, and there will be suf
ficient provision to guard against, thirst
where all water is salty.
The trip to the seashore was looked for
ward to yesterday with the greatest of
interest by the men. It was the main
topic of talk In camp and on the street.
Some of the men owned up that they"
had never eaten an oyster, while those
who had only seen the canned article were
quite numerous. Some had run across a
stray specimen at church suppers, and a
few had been taken in at genuine oyster
barbecues at Atlanta. The soldier, though,
who had had the pleasure of eating an
oyster fresh from its bed, or with an ap
petite whetted by ocean breezes, is hardly
numerous enough in any company to be
noticeable. It is an incursion into an un
known country, a change of diet that has
the added merit of unquestionable novelty.
No more pleasant excursion than this
could have been arranged.
" This will be the first regiment of Geor
gia soldiers that has visited Tybee in
many years. Occasional companies have
been there in recent years, the Savannah
Cadets at one time going into camp on
the island for a week or more. There
have been companies of troops from
other states located at the fortifications
since the war broke out and there is still
a considerable force of artillerymen at
that point.
It was in the winter of 1861 that the
last regiment of Georgia troops prior to
this one, left the island. The Twenty
sixth Georgia Regiment of Volunteers, a
battalion of the First Regiment of Georgia
Volunteers, and a light battery, under the
command of Col. C. C. Wilson of the
Twenty-sixth, at that time evacuated
Tybee and it was occupied by the United
States forces. Batteries were built by the
latter and in April, 1862, Fort Pulaski was
bombarded and captured. This visit to
day of the Third Georgia will be an his
torical event for the island. Col. Berner
and Maj. Cohen, who have ■ been largely
instrumental in the preliminary* arrange
ments, with all the other officers, will give
the regiment an outing that will be full
of enjoyment, and which will be as unique
as It will be appreciated by all who take
the trip.
MADE PERMANENT RECEIVER.
Mr. J. S. Tyson NN ill Have Charge nt

On account of the continuance of the
Sweat murder cate yesterday and Its in

TRYING TO BREAK THEIR PLAN.
(Continued from Eighth Page.)
who had the preparation of the bill in
hand, 1 should not think they would al
low u defect fit this kind to enter into it.
“As for the act of 18M. regulating the
election of city officers, taking precedence
over the present law, I have only to say
1 think the repealing clause, or last sec
tion of tlie bill, takes proper care of that
feature. Moreover. I think It would tie
generally understood and hold Hint the
passage of another act would necessarily
imply the re'perfl of the former. Still I
have no fear of the bill being declared un
constitutional.” ,
When a copy of the bill was referred to
a i>erson conversant with such matters for
his opinion, he said: "While it is required
that a bill to be repealed by the passage
of another should be fully specified ami
described In the substitute, I think It
would bo difficult to make a successful
fight on the latter, as it would probably
be repealed by implication. Besides, there
is the usual repealing clause at the end
of the present act. It may be a technical
ity upon which a tight could he made, but
I do not think it would amount to any
thing in the end.”
It is rumored that Mr. Alex Lawrence,
who conducted the fight which stopped the
City Council from trying the fire commis
sioners on charges of impeachment a year
ago; is responsible for tho contemplated
fight on the election law. When seen i>y
a Morning News reporter, however, Mr,
Lawrence did not deny that such a thing
had entered his mind, but he declined to
discuss it.
Should the law be attacked, however, it
will be a long time before the present
programme could be changed. In the first
place Hie present board will proceed to
elect, as if Is not understood there is any
way to stop it from doing so. The only way
to remove the incumbents then would be
by writ of quo warranto, which questions
the title of an incumbent to his office. In
the event the persons elected by the pres
ent Council are not acceptable to the new
board, it would probably be the proper
parly to start proeedlngs to oust the offi e
holders. This would mark the beginning
of a long litigation, which would probably
be similar to that sfifpe tifne a go' between
Council and tho fire commlssfriners.
Owing to the fact that those track of
the movement will not talk, their plans
are still known only to themselves. Tlie
announcement will doubtless create com
ment among the office holders who are
expecting a Christmas gift from the pres
ent Council, as they have probably heard
nothing of (he move. It is pretty certain
they wlil watch the progress of the pro
posed attack on “their bill” with a keen
interest.

CHRISTMAS TRICK FOR ORPHANS.
CuTFlara Yesterday it tlir Snvan
linli Oriilinn Hoillr.
Their annual Christmas tree was en
joyed yesterday afternoon by the Savan
nah Female Orphan Asylum girls. There
was a considerable attendance of visitors,
also, and they, in their turn, were greatly
pleased with the programme that lmd
been prepared under the direction of Miss
Ward, the teacher, and which was ren
dered by the children and larger girls with
great success.
The visitors had been seated for but a
shore time In the large class room when
the girls entered to a processional. They
assumed their seats, and in concert sang
"Angels' Song." On many occasions the
girls of the orphan home have been heard,
and their singing always wins them de
served compliments. Great attention is
paid to the cultivation and practice of the
children's voices from the time they en
ter the home, and the result Ir that they
sing many songs with sweetness and ex
pression.
A prayer was offered, and this was fol
lowed by another of the children's songs,
"Jolly Christmas Eve." A recitation was
then entertainingly given by eleven of the
little girls.
Miss lterla Do Foor sang a solo very
gracefully, and a letter from the girls to
Santa Claus was read. This was followed
by the distribution of the presents, whirl)
were taken from on and under the Christ*
mas trees that stood at one end of the
room. Each article, whether a doll, hand
kerchief, toy or something that would suit
the taste of the older girls, was labeled,
and the girls came forward for them as
their names were called. The distribution
of the presents afforded keen delight to
all the children.
A song, "Merry Christmas All," was ren
dered by the girls, and then Miss Alice
Summerlin, who has the most highly cul
tivated voice ami that most caiwblc of
yet greater training of all the girls in the
school, sang a solo. It is always a pleas
ure to visitors for Miss Summerlin to sing,
U< v. Dr. Fair, pastor of the Independent
Presbyterian Church made a pleasant
Christmas talk. Rev. John D. Jordan,
pastor of the First Hapttst Church, was
also present. Dr. Fair pronounced the
benediction, with which the exercises were
closed.
