Ha it road News and Notes,
gtaps are to be taken to minimize the
danger of disastrous conflagrations at the
niVa l Fiores yards of the Plant System
a r, 1 the Central Railroad. It Is not a fore
gone conclusion that the present arrange
ment of the yards is dangerous, but the
local lire insurance agents recognize the
Importance of taking every precaution,
an ,l a < a result of their efforts, the rail
roads will carefully consider the situation
and seek to correct any defect that might
lend to spread a lire once started.
A meeting of insurance men, railroad
acents und members of the Board of Trade
, IS held at 4'o'clock yesterday afternoon
at the Board of Trade rooms. The discus
sion of the yard's situation was entirely
harmonious, and all concerned manifested
a desire to adopt any measures that might
be agreed upon as needful to remove to
as great an extent as possible all danger
of a Are originating among the naval
stores becoming general.
Mr Charles F. Prendcrgast was chair
man of the committee of insurance agents.
The other members were Messrs. R. M.
Hull, John D. Carswell and W. L. Wil
son. The committee was appointed at a
meeting of the Savannah agents held day
before yesterday, and will remain in
charge of the insurance people’s side of
the question until its adjustment.
The Board of Trade manifested a willing
ness to co-operate with the agents in se
curing the aid of the railroads in the cor
rection of any dangerous features at the
yards. The board joined with the agents
la the request that the agents of the Cen
tral and the Plant System meet with the
members of the board and insurance men,
and accordingly Messrs. James Farle, Jr.,
W. J. Kelly, W. C. Powell, W, E. Coney,
J. B. Chcsinutt, C. D. Baldwin and C. W.
Saussy met with the insurance committee
and Mr. F. P. Papy, agent for the Plant
System, and Mr. R. G. Trezevant, agent
for the Central.
Mr. Papy and Chief Engineer Tulweiler
ol the Plant System will meet the insur
ance committee within the next few days
and visit the Plant System wharf. If
there are really any changes that might
better the situation they will be suggested
by the committee, and the road will en
i',:iv.,r to make the corrections. Although
matters with the Central have not yet
progressed so far, It is expected that the
same courtesy will be shown the request
of the insurance men for an inspection of
ihe yards, with the view of minimizing
danger from fires.
Mr. Prendcrgast was seen after the meet
ing. He said it had been entirely free
from the faintest suggestion of strife, wll
parties agreeing that every possible means
should be employed to insure the safety
of property. The representatives of the
railroads met the insurance men and the
members of the Board of Trade in the
most friendly spirit, concurring in the ex
pressions made and agreeing to do what
they could to lessen any existing danger.
No positive belief was expressed by Mr.
Prendergaet that there Is anything wrong
st either the Plant Sytem or the Central
wharves. He is only anxious to reduce
the danger from conflagrations, and for
the favorable consideration the roads seem
disposed to give the request of the insur
ance agents he Is very grateful. Mr. Fren
dergast says the conformation of the Sa
vannah river at this point is such as to
make the danger of a general fire appall
ing once burning naval stores should get
afloat upon its waters.
"Burning naval stores do not yield
to water,” said Mr. Prendergast. “If they
should start from the Plant System yards
on a flood tide they would sweep up the
river, probably setting fire to the vessels
wharves and buildings along the entire
river front. The same thing would be
true of a Are started at the Central yards
If the tide was on the ebb. That is, pro
vlded the grade of the yards is not as it
should be. If the slope is toward the
river there would be nothing to prevent
the burning masses rolling into the water
and thereby launching themselves upon
their mission of destruction. There is no
way of fighting a naval stores fire except
by sand; water will avail nothing. We
have no apparatus for employing sand, so
the stores would be consumed.
"We considered the railroads would be
glad enough to adopt any measures of
precaution. It is possible that the slope
ls wrong, and that the grade should be
such as to turn rolling masses of burning
naval stores away from the river. The
<re tion of a few banks at certain places
might help to effect this result.
"I have not visited the scene of the Are
nt the Plant System yards a few weeks
ngo, when the glue houses were destroyed,
it reported by some that the glue houses
were too near the turpentine. Fire has to
be used to melt the glue that is put in
the turpentine barrels, and of course that
makes it somewhat dangerous. Some
thought it would be well to have the glue
houses rebuilt at a greater distance from
’ turpentine sheds. That was readily
agreed to by the railroad, and the dis
tatict- will be greater than before the
houses were destroyed.”
"ILL TAKE OFF ITS SLEEPERS.

The Georgia and Alabama Railroad has

discontinuance of Ihe sleeping car
line is no more than a forerunner of the
action the Southern will take next Sun
day, when it will discontinue turning over
Its Cincinnati and Florida Limited to the
Florida Central and Peninsular at Ever
ett, and will, instead, give it to the Plant
Systym ai Jesup. This prospective move
has been told of by the Morning News.
It Is very likely that evidence will be pre
sented in this wise from time to time to
show that there is no longer the entente
cordial that formerly obtained between the
Southern and the other two lines that
have now become part of Mr. Williams’
plan of amalgamation with the Seaboard.
The Georgia and Alabama did a good
business while its line to Atlanta lasted.
The sleepers were will patronized, and the
quick line afforded to Ohio river points
made it very popular. It was not quite a
year that the cars were operated, but the
road will have no regrets as to the business
done.
Although it Is not authoritatively an
nounced, it is understood that'the Plant
System and the Southern will arrange
such a schedule as to admit of the lino of
sleepers being operated by them. The
business would thus go via Jesup, a longer
route, yet one that with fast trains and
close connections might attract travelers.
AGREES WITH MR. EGAN.
A Railroad Lawyer Says tlie Ronds
Should Raise Rates.
A member of the firm of general counsel
for one of the railroads entering Savan
nah commented yesterday on the inter
view with Mr. John M. Egan, vice presi
dent of the Central, that appeared in, the
Morning News. Mr. Egan’s position,
briefly stated, is that the railroads should
be allowed to charge higher rates In this
time of general prosperity and high prices,
as they have to pay more for all supplies
and materials used. The lawyer agreed
fully with Mr. Egan, saying:
“It seems to me he is right. When
the cry is hard times and the farmers are
complaining of the low prices they get
for their cotton and merchants of the
poor business they do, the railroads are
at once attacked in the effort to force them
to grant lower rates. It strikes me that
in the season of prosperity the reverse
should be the case, and that there should
be no kick if the roads should decide to
raise their rates.”
Three transportation men from New Or
leans were in the city yesterday. They
were Mr. O. F. Spindler, general southern
agent of the Mexican Gulf Steamship Com
pany; Mr. Frank E. Maguire, commercial
agent for the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and Mr. E. S. Hull, commercial agent of
the Chicago, Rock Island nnd Pacific. This
is the first trip these gentlemen have made
out of New Orleans since the appearance
of yellow fever there some time ago. They
are not sorry to be on the road again.
The extension of the Waycross Air Bine
from Ashley to Vickers, eight miles, is
under way. It is possible that a still fur
ther extension to Fitzgerald or Ocilla may
be decided upon In the future. In the
meantime, it is believed, the road will do
a good business in handling lumber and
naval stores.
Mr. O. F. Spindler, general southern
agent of the Mexican Gulf Steamship
Company, with headquarters at New Or
leans, was in the city yesterday.
Mr. E. S. Hull, commercial agent of the
Rock Island Route, with headquarters at
New Orleans, spent yesterday in the city.
Mr. Frank E. Maguire, commercial agent
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, with
headquarters at New Orleans, was among
Savannah’s visitors yesterday.
Mr. F. R. Gress, special agent of the
Central, left yesterday for Macon.
Passenger Traffic Manager B. W. Wrenn
and Assistant General Passenger Agent

ance upon a meeting of passenger officials.
Mr. W. C. Dennis, assistant general
freight agent of the Plant System, is in
Boston on business.
MORE CRIMINAL BUSINESS.
Judge Kalllgant nnd Juries Kept
Busy In the Superior Court.
The trial of offenders against the crimi
nal statutes of the state was continued in
the Superior Court yesterday morning and
afternoon. The Interests of the prosecu
tion were looked after by Solicitor Gen
eral Pro Tem. D. C. Barrow.
Robert Howard had been indicted for
assault with intent to murder Martha Ed
wards with a knife. The evidence did not
make out a case of actual homicidal in
tent, which the law requires, and the Jury
found Howard guilty of stabbing not in
his own defense. He was sentenced by
Judge Falligant to serve a term of twelve
months on the chain-gang of the county.
Dorsey DeLancey, indicted for burglary,
pleaded guilty to the charge, to be pun
ished a3 for a misdemeanor, and received
in the way of punishment his choice of the
payment of a fine of SIOO and costs or the
enforced service of a twelve months’ term
on the county works. Joe Brown, who
had been indicted for burglary, and Henry
Smith, charged with larceny from the
house, were both found not guilty, by the
verdicts of the juries in their respective
cases, and discharged.
Susie Simmons was found guilty of stab
bing not in her own defense, and was
sentenced to the usual misdemeanor pun
ishment of a fine of SIOO and costs or a
twelve months’ term on the chain-gang.
The victim of the Simmons woman and her
friend, Rosa Dixon, was an Assyrian wo
man named S. Saab, whom they enticed
into their house and robbed and stabbed.
FIRST WEEK IN DECEMBER.
Judge Speer Will Convene the
United States Courts in Savannah.
Judge Speer will be in Savannah on
Dec. 4, when he will try bankruptcy and
other cases in which counsel are partic
ularly solicitous that they should be heard.
In a letter to Clerk King, Judge Speer
directs that the Jury boxes be sent to him
at Macon, so that the juries for the spe
cial term may be drawn and summoned.
There are several United States prison
ers in the county jail awaiting trial, and
against these indictments will be drawn
and found by the grand jury when court
convenes. The necessity of giving these
prisoners as speedy a trial as possible
doubtless brings the Federal Court to Sa
vannah at an earlier date than would oth
erwise be the case.
In his letter to the clerk of the court.
Judge Speer says that there is much work
for him to do in Macon, and that he will
be able to remain In Savannah only a
short time. The greater part of the cases
that are to be tried here will be disposed
of later, probably about the first of next
year. _
Arrested for Street Begging.
Johtl McDonough, a white roan, was ar
rested by Patrolman Crimtnins last night
and sent In. to the station house on a
charge of begging on the street. The po
lice seem to have some other suspicions on
the subject, but they are not willing, prob
ably through lack of certainty, to disclose
them. ,

A New York Physician Advises
His Patient to Take Lydia E.
Pinßham’s Vegetable Compound.
[LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAK NO. 73.9J6]
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham—l have three
children and suffered with falling- of
the womb and flooding. My physician
6craped the womb, still the flooding
continued and I was no better. At
last he advised me to use Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Then
I thought I would write to Mrs. Pink
ham for she could advise me better
than any one if I was to take her reme
dies. I received her reply and followed
all her directions and I am very glad
to send you this testimonial, for Lydia
E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound is
just what it is recommended to be. I
advise all women who suffer from
these complaints to try it.”— Marie
Lemp, 108 2o Ave., New York City.
“A year ago I was a great sufferer
from painful menstruation. I could
not lie down or sit down for the dread
ful pain each month. I wrote to you
and took twelve bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and
it has helped me so I cannot find
words to express my gratitude toward
Mrs. Pinkham. I am to-day well and
hearty.”—Miss Joie Saul, Doveb,

More than a million women have
been helped by Mrs. Pinkham’s advice
and medicine.
FYTHIANS* CARNIVAL OPENED.
The Business Display* anil Midway
Performances Up to Date.
The Knights of Pythias Street Fair and
Carnival opened last night under the most
favorable auspices.
The performances began at 8 o’clock, and
closed at 11, and during the intermediate
time between 1,500 and 2,000 people were
within the enclosure. Of these nearly all
were Savannahians, and white, the colored
people evidently being under the impres
sion that they were barred out; an im
pression that the fnanagers wish to cor
rect.
The show was all that the managers
have claimed for it, and evidently gave
entire satisfaction, as no complaint was
heard from any of the crowds about the
various attractions.
In the Midway nro eight theaters, as
follows: Rosco, the snake-eater, who
sits in a cage surrounded with some fif
teen or twenty snakes, and also has a box
of small ones, one of which she eats about
even ten minutes. The Hagenbeck animal
show comes next, and furnishes some in
teresting features in the talking pony, the
bear that dances the hoochee coochee, and
the lion in whose cage dances are given
by daring women in decollette dresses.
There are other animals here, also, which
are interesting, though they take no part
in the performance. The Japanese Theater
also gives an interesting performance. The
Congress of All Nations, Dancing Girls,
also attracted good audiences. The train
ed wild animal show was very good, in
deed, and thrilling enough to suit even
the most exacting. The American Theater,
which follows next in line, gives a sort
of vaudeville programme, and was well
patronized.
The Hindoo Theater is devoted entirely
to the use of the magicians, but no per
formance was given there last night for
some reason, though it will be in use
from to-day until the end of the engage
ment here. The best drawing show of the
whole aggregation is the Oriental Theater
In which were given the hoochee coocheo.
and fuzzy wuzzy dances, the character of
the entertainment was discovered early in
the evening and each performance, one
of which took place every ten minutes was
crowded. In the vernacular the show was
very “warm.” to much so that the commit
tee decided that it would have to be modi
fied, and this decis on w ill go into effect
10-day. Rubber Neck Joe lives up to his
title and is a most interesting freak.
In the center of the space that is sur
rounded by these theaters is erected the
tower upon which Philion does a real y
marvelous act: Standing upon a rubber
ball, mounted upon a spiral roadway but
a few inches broad, he rolls it to the top
of the tower and down again; when half
way down the fireworks which the tow • is
surrounded are set off and ho descends in
a shower of pyrotechnics that are extreme
ly beautiful and not the least part of tho
show.
In the Streets of India Is given another
excellent performance. Ten cents admis
sion is charged to get into the street, after
which all the shows are free. Prince lsh
mail holds forth here and Is extremely
clever in his magic and sleight of hand
work. The acrobats and tumblers are
also good and attracted an !m
mense number of spectators. The star
attraction of the streets, however, is
Speedy in his dive from a tower ninety
feet in hight into a tank containing only
three feet of water. He made the dive
head first and without mishap.
In the streets, also, are the camels,
donkeys, and the elephant, all of which
are trained for riding purposes. A num
ber of children as well as pome older folks
took rides around the enclosure and seem
ingly enjoyed very much the novelty of
the performance. The show closed at 11
o’clock.
The committee was thoroughly satisfied
with the attendance and the way things
have been conducted, and feel that for the
first day’s performance the show has been
an unqualified success. It will be open
to-day from 1 to 5 p. m. in the afternoon,
and from 7 to 11 at night. The aggregate
of price for the complete show is $1.25.
In tho business street of the show
grounds are the displays of many of Sa
vannah’s leading business houses. The
clothiers have made a creditable display.
Among the best are B. H. Levy & Bro.,
The Metropolitan, 'M. Dreyfus, Falk Cloth
ing Company, and The Hub. J. E. Gut
man has made a pretty display in dry
goods. The shoe men have taken space
liberally. Among the best are, Byek,
Nichols, Marks and Gell & Quint. W. E.
Wimpey has made a beautiful display of
furniture, and so has J. W. Teeple. Lind
say & Morgan have an excellent display.
Leo Frank, H. H. Cohen and Mark Apple
have made splendid exhibitions of their
harness, buggies and wagons. Oppen
helmer, Sloat & Cos. are showing in a neat
way their kodaks, toys, bicycles and a
general line of holiday goods. Conlda is
making a novel exhibition of fine candy
and its manufacture. Krouskoff has a
fine display of millinery.
Note* Around the Courts,
Yesterday was return day for the Decem
ber term in the Superior Court. A number
of cases have been filed, divorce cases,
as usual, being much in evidence. The
parties In this class of cases are general
ly negroes, who seem to have an inextin
guishable desire for matrimonial variety.
The petit Jurors In the City Court have
been re leved until to-morrow, Thursday,
the 1! h, for which day a case or two that
will demand their attention haa been s,et.
In the Superior Court yesterday Edward
Ferguson, u former subject of the Queen
of Great Britain and Ireland, was mods a
citizen of the United Stales.
AT THE THEATER.
“Mr. Barnes of New York” nnd “The
Commodore” to Large Audiences.
Two good audiences saw the Kllmt-
Heam Company yesterday afternoon and
last night in "Mr. Barnes of New York"
and "The Commodore."
The story of “The Commodore” is based
on the Cuban struggle and the scenes are
■laid in Matanzas and the outer harbor.
There is a flavor of jingo and gunpowder
in the play, but it was well staged and pre
sented. The scene on the United States
man-of-war Freeport, and another scene
showing the torpedo room of Morro Cas
tle. were excellently staged.
Mr. Wesner and little Baby Lewis ap
peared in entertaining specialties.
Last night's bill will be repeated this aft
ernoon, and to-night "Alabama” will be
put on.
The Scribner Company is about to issue
pastels of four American actors in the
in which they have become famous
or have made famous. The players who
compose tills quartette of celebrated act
ors are: Joseph Jefferson, who will be
pictured as Kip Van Winkle; Richard
Mansfield, as Cyrano de Bergerac; E. H.
Solhern as D’Artagnan, nnd James K.
Hackett as Rudolf Rassendyll. Mr. Hnck
ett is much the youngest of the four, he
having been born Sept. 6, 1869. This makes
him but little more than 30 years of age.
It will be in the character of Rudolf Ras
sendyll that Mr. Hackett will uppeur In
this city Saturday night in "Rupert of
Hentzau," Anthony Hope’s romantic play,
in which he portrays not only Rassendyll,
Ihe heroic Englishman, but also the de
crepit King of Ruritanla, whom Rassen
dyll resembles. The star comes almost di
rect from New Orleans, where he was
accorded the warmest of reception*, and
where he scored as heavily as in New
York nnd in the other large cities of the
country. The advance sale of seats will
begin to-day.
"The Moth and Ihe Flame,” presented by
the Herbert Kelcey—Effie Shannon Com
pany, which comes next Wednesday night.
Is an interesting drama, which reveals
something of the private life and social
environment of New York's ultra-fashion
able society. The children's party given
by adults at the residence of a society
leader, with which the play opens, is, of
itself, a revelation of the frivolities indulg
ed in by “the smart set," and as Buch
"holds the mirror up to nature" in a man
ner which is as truthful and realistic as it
is highly interesting and entertaining.
There is more or less comedy In the piece,
but tragedy also p’ays a part, and two of
the strongest tltuniions of the play are the
climaxes i the close of the first und sec
ond uct, one reveal ng a suicide in high
life, and the other, the denunciation of an
aristocratic scoundie! at a swell society
church wedding.
“Shamrock and Rose,” a romantic drama
of Irish life during tho rebellion of 1798, in
four acts, by John Fitzgerald Murphy, will
be presented to-niglit at Sacred Heart Hall
at Habersham and St. James streets. The
Fleming Dramatic Association, under the
direction of Mr. William Fleming, will give
the play, as nearly perfect as time and
perseverance can make it, wllh the follow
ing cast:
Barney O'Brady, an Irish bouchal—Will

Music by Raskins' Orchestra.
The entertainment to be given by the
Whitman Sisters next Monday night is be
ing commented on freely, and altogether
favorably. This will be the opening of
their season, which will run until the close
of the theatrical season. Painstaking nnd
incessant labor have figured In no small
way in putting the company in readiness.
The company is cosmopolitan as regards
its mode of entertainment, neither leaning
too much towards the classic, on the one
hand, nor to the absurd on the cither, but
rather clings to a line altogether novel.
The orchestra, as usual, will be reserved
for the white patrons of the theater, while
the balcony will be given to the colored.
This, as is understood, is nothing out of
the ordinary; except in so far that previ
ously a greater number of seats have been
given to the colored upon such occasions,
and was agreed upon owing to the demand
made by the whites for the usual reser
vation. The advance sales will begin Fri
day.
To morrow night, under the auspices of
Ladies Aid Society of the Christian
Church, Rev. W. F. Watkins will deliver
a lecture at Lawton Memorial, full of In
terest. and calculated to please the most
fastidious taste. He has chosen a topic of
personal adventure and observation and
entitles his lecture "From Ocean to
Ocean, or 7,000 Miles in a Private Car." In
the course of his wonderlngs. Mr. Watkins
has met with thrilling adventure; has
stood upon the highest peaks of mountain
tops; has traversed lovely valleys and ex
plored hill and dale and cavern. He pur
poses to Rive his audience the benefit of
his wonderful experiences in a manner at
tractive, entertaining, instructive and
amusing, and those who know Mr. Wat
kins fully believe that he has the ability
to fcive a delightful evening to those who
attend. Tickets can be had at Masonic
Temple Pharmacy and Bythewood’s Res
taurant.
Upshaw and dodger's Colored Minstrels
will leave for Brunswick Thursday, being
scheduled to play there that night. They
have already given one performance in the
Savannah Theater which was quito suc
cessful. and they will play here again later
in the season.
REUNION DECORATING lIEGUN.
Court House Ilevlns to Assume a
Pleasing and Handsome Air.
Decorations for the reunion next week
have already begun. The most elaborate
piece of work of this character yet started
is the decorations of the County Court
House, for which the scheme is at once or
nate and beautiful. The county has made
a liberal appropriation and the contract
has been let to Messrs. Mitlledorfer & Son
of Richmond.
The President street side of the Court
House was nearly completed yesterday nnd
will bo entirely comideied during this
morning. The Bull street side
will then be begun and the
entire work of doceratlon will be
accomplished by the afternoon. This Is
the first time, within the memory of the
present generation, that the Court House
has been decorated for such an occasion,
The business firms and private parties
are being urged to begin the work of decor
ation. It Is felt that nothing the people
of Savannah can do will have a more
pleasing effect on the visitors or give them
greater assurance of warm and cordial
welcome than the decora I lon of Ihe bouses
of the city by day and their illumination
by night. ,
