tyor Myers returned from the North
x , rOav after an absence of ten days
. . in New York and other Northern
v i, s When seen at his office the Mayor
t .. i he hud little to communicate as his
j. had been almost entirely devoted to
i:. titers of private business.
The business outlook for the year is
" said the Mayor, “and the busines
, at the North serm very well satisfied
v;i the prospect. They seem to feel as
; i that the present heavy demand and
j. i prices in nearly all lines will con
in: if. I have had some doubt on this
- are because the high prices have natur
le<J to an increase in manufacturing
|, ms with the ix>ssibility of an ovcrpro
< . ion and reaction within the next two
x jrs. My friends at the North did not
thare my apprehensions. They point to
i heavy foreign demand and are conil
, that the increasing foreign trade wi 1
sufficient to maintain consumption and
dr ir.and. The foreign demand is partic
i iy strong in iron and steel manufic
t aij cotton goods, and this is where
th, South will benefit. Foreign countries
ar- turning more and more to us for th so
poods, and, besides, there is a large trade
( viioping in the Bast which is still in
p-• in< ipiency. A friend of mine who is
n the head of a large cotton manufactur
ii concern in Lynchburg, Informed me
i a he had recently refused an offer for
51m i a . s of goods a week for the Chinese
tra ie simply because he was unable to
supply the demand. He is now building
a S7OO,<XM) addition to his mill.”
T believe a large couon factory, prop
,-rly managed, would pay in Savannah,”
cai i th< Mayor, reverting to the subject
of Savannah’s industrial movement. “I be
v. that both labor and fuel can be se
cured here as cheaply as elsewhere, and
that the main requisite is able manage
ment. Having once made a success of one
1 I. aory. others would follow.”
Talking of the subject of new industries
for Savannah, Mayor Myers said that he
had discussed the matter with the head
of a large tobacco concern, in which he
is : 1- rested, and had urged that a branch
K established .in Savannah. He. was in
formed that conditions were not favora
ble to a move of any of the company’s
plants at present, but whenever a move
01 an extension was decided upon he was
assured that Savannah would be given
favor able .consideration.
• I did not pay much attention to poll
n - while I was North,” said Mayor My*
ti- “I received an invitation to he pres
et , at the banquet tendered Mr. Bryan by
President Keller of the New York Demo
crv.ie Club, but did not accept. 1 thought

lar- ekijient of the Democratic party
which would either remain away from the
polls or vote the Republican ticket.”
In fact,” said Mayor Myers, “it is the
general teeling among <he business men
hi the North that the present administra
te is i.kely to continue in power four
>• irs more. There is a general disposi
tion among the business men not to criti
cise or interfere in any way with the pol
i of the administration in the Phil p-
M! es. The accepted view seems to be that
till.- country should first obtain control
and then provide a satisfactory form of
mweniment. To retire now would leave
llk islands in a state of anarchy, which
"■ ! M bo greatly to the discredit of the
I'lilted Slates.”
The Mayor inquired what the situation
* s in local politics, and smiled when in
formed that the outlook was for an early
* lively campaign.
1m speaking of Kstill Park Mayor My-
said that he would endeavor to ar
rancc for a conference with the County
Commissioners early next week. “I realize

OFFICER AND TWO NEGROES.
Hud a Lively Time of It at Blunt
System O flic pm.
Officer Connors of the Plant System
force had a lively time witti a pair of
negro*?* yesterday morning. He made a
try at arresting both, and got one, but
the feUow got away before the patrol
wagon reached the box from which the
call had been sent to the barracks.
A swaggering, drunken negro with a
pistol dropped in at the offices with the
professed determination to do die janitor,
against whom his ire had been aroused,
lie had been employed at the offices until
u short while ago, and *hls having been
tired had to do with the.bad humor he
hod succeeded in working himself into
with the assistance of the liquor. After
he had expressed himself in a few Ri
ch osen words, Officer Connors was sum
moned pnd proceeded .to look after me
darkey’s case.
A brother of the warring spirit was out
on the sidewalk. As the officer hustled
ihe malcontent by, the pistol that had tig
ued qulpsently was handed over to the
brother, who proceeded to get gay. Officer
Connors had his eye on him, though, and
after he had reached the box. turned in
the call and left the prisoner in the care
of a white man, who offered to assist,
returned for the brother.
There was then quite a mix-up. The of
ficer, the negro an u white man who hod
coine 10 help in making the arrest tum
bled in a heap on the pavement. The ne
gro scrambled to his feet and started to
run. The officer was also up in a jiffy
•nd swung his billy. He let it fiy, but
it went wild, missing the negro and only
serving to accelerate his speed.
Then the officer, seeing a chase would
be fruitless, started back for his prisoner.
The wagon was almost on the scene by
.that time. but the bird had flown. To the
disgust of the officer, the man had got
away from his white captor and sought
safety in flight. Officer Connors says he
knows them both, however, and that he
will have them in time for the disturbance
they committed.
CROPS LITTLE INJIREI).
Those That \r*’ Above Ground Able
to Stand the Cold.
Yesterday was, so far. the coldest day of
the winter, the mean tempeiature for the
day being one degrees below' freezing
joint. It was thought that there would
he considerable damage to the truck crops
around the city irr consequence of such a
low temperature, but an inquiry disclosed
the fact that comparatively r.o damage ha-:
been done, as the vegetab es that a e now
above ground are all more or less of a
hardy nature and rarely if ever affected
by a temperature no lower than that cf
yesterday unless it l>e accompanied by
sleet.
To-day is Candlemas day and the pre
diction that it will be warmer than yester
day and also cloudy will bring comfort to
thovse who are familiar with the traditiQn
that the badger on this day comes from
the quarters where he slept away the cdld
weather and goes, so to speak, on a tour
of inspection. If the sun is out and ne
sees his shadow he returns itnme Uately to
his former abode convinced that the worst
part of the season is yet to come; but if
the day be overcast or rain be falling so
that his form casts no shadow he aban
dons his winter quarters, knowing that
spring Is heaf. This tradition is quaint’y
expressed in a stanza that will probably
appeal to Savannah’s golfers who will be
interested in the dialect as well as in the
weather:
“If Candlemas® day be dry and fair
The half of winter’s to come and muir.
It Candlemas day be wet and foul.
The half of winter ’s gone at Yule.”
HE WANTS HIS CHILDREN HACK.
Alleged Distressed Father Such for
Their Custody and Control.
Judge Falligant has pending before him
a case of habeas corpus, that has for its
object the recovery of two children, now
held by their mother. The plaintiff in the
ease is the father of the children, who
avers and swears that the circumstances
demand that the children should be turn
ed over to him.
The plaintiff is John Carr. With his
wife he has resided until recently in one
of the suburbs of the city, happily, it is
to be presumed, and without visible dis
content. The'petition charges that dur
ing last month the defendant deserted the
plaintiff without just cause, and that she
has since steadfastly and emphatically re
fused to return to his bed and board. She
cherishes, so It Is said, a deadly prejudice
against him. and her intercourse with the
children is likely to result in their being
brought up without being taught the lov
ing reverence to which the father of the
family is entitled, by the laws of God and
man.
Therefore it is asked that the defendant
be required by the court to produce the
bodies of the children, ho that the right
to their possession may be inquired into
fully and impartially. Judge Falligant
signed an order directing that the hear
ing of the case be held on Monday morn
ing at 10 o’clock. The plaintiff is repre
sented by Mr. Frederick T. Saussy.
Y. M. H. A.S l\ THE LEAD.
CndctM Will Try to Take Indoor Hall
Honors From Them.
The Guards and the Y. M. H. A. will
cross bats for the second lime in the se
ries for the Marks cup to-morrow night.
The Y. M. H. A.’s are now leading in the
race, with the Guarf&s in second piace.
Suotild the Guards win to-morrow night,
it will put them within touch of the lead
ers. Germany will pitch for them, and
as he has won his last two games, will
probably continue to keep his opponents
guessing. The, Y. M. H. A. will be short
both Davis and King, but will put Smith
in the box. Although Smith has not pitch
ed in a game this season, he is an old
favorite and can l>c depended upon to pitch
good, fast ball. Clarke and Kayton will
do the catching.
JOHNSON'S CASE CONTINUED.
Hackman Fncctfa Skull Fractured
by a Bullet.
The case against Mr. H. V. Johnson,
who shot the negro James Facett Wednes
day night at the Planters’ Hotel, was call
ed by the Recorder yesterday morning,
but was continued, as the negro was not
able to appear.
Dr. W. E. Norton, Facett's attending
physician says that the man’s skull is
fractured, but he dors not think that there
is any danger of his dying from the
wound.
Mrs. J. M. Marian Dead.
News was received yesterday by Mr.
James Hunter of the death of his aunt,
Mrs. J. M. Macias, nee Brown, In Havana,
Cuba, at an advanced age. The older in
habitants will recall her residence here on
account of her charming personality and
her sweet voice. Mrs. Macias leaves two
daughters and one son, who were with her

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDA A’, FEBRUARY 2, 1000.
HAY GET OLD WATERWORKS.
Pierpout Manufacturing Company to
Itemove (< Savannah.
A large lx>x and crate factory employ
ing 150 to 200 hands is likely to be one of
the new manufacturing industries of Sa
vannah in the near future. Mr. \V. J.
Pierpont, president erf the Pierpont Man
ufacturing Company of Crescent City, Fla.
returns, home last night, after having had
a conference with Mayor Myers relative to
securing the old water works tract for the
removal of his factory to Savannah.
Mr. Pierpont stated that he is now do
ing a large business at Crosoent City n
the manufacture of orange boxes, truck
crates and packages of all kinds for the
shipment of fruit, truck and goods of ev
ery description. The reason given by Mr.
Pierpont fdr his desire to remove to Savan
nah is that his company does,a large ex
port business and that a location at a sea
port would be much more advantag ous
than one in the interior. He was offered
a site at Macon, he stated, but prefe red
Savannah on account of its port fac lilies.
Mr. Pierpont stated that there are other
advantages which Savannah effers to In
business including an ample ’ sup. ly of
suitable timber on the Savannah river
and the large truck growing interest her'
which would in itself furnish a consider
able demand. He vv uld not lely upon the
local demand, however, but would manu
facture for the Georgia and Florida trade
generally as well as for export. The wa
ter works site would be especially suit hie
for the business, he stated, be* a use of the
facilities it would offer, not only for hand
ling shipments by water, but for securing
timber at small expense. He deal:ed to
secure the property at a reasonable lease
for a term of years.
Mayor Myers was interested in Mr. Pi r
pont’s preposition and instructed him to
place it in writing that it might be p over
ly brought before Council. The M ivor
regards the proposition favorably and w’ill
probably recommend its a eejfiance by
Council. The city is not disposal to hfi
the old water works tract pass out of ts
hands as it regards the location as a val
uable one, but as it is now' making no use
of the property, except *s an a 1 jun t :o
the new’ wpter works, the proposition to
locate a manufacturing establishment
there will doubtless meet with favor. Anv
arrangement which may be made will
doubtless? require that the old water works
plant be left intact for emergency uses as*
at present.
The Savannah Box and Basket \\ rks.
of which Mr. P. C. Rum bold is the pro
prietor, is already doing a prosperous bus
iness w'est of the city, and empoying a
number of hands. It manufactures mu h
the same line of goods as the Pierpont
company, but probably not on quite so ex
tensive a scale. Mr. Pierpont stated be
fore leaving Savannah that his interview
with the Mayor had been quite satisfac
tory and that he expected to remove h.s
factory here at an early date.

room hat looking at the horses. Possess
ing more zeal than discretion, he nt once
• ■ailed out: "My good woman, you must
go nway at once. Strangers are not al
lowed here when the Qtas-n i* tn resi
dence.” As she did not seem inclined to
b avc. he went on to threaten to have her
escorted to the gates. Judge of his fcel
.ng when the shabbily dressed old lady
turned around, and the Queen stood re
vealed. This Is hut one of many amusing
incidents that have arisen through ihe
sovereign’s love of simplicity in dress.
After the busy morning's work the Queen
lakes a frugal lunch. Notwithstanding
the resources of the royal kitchens and the
well-laden table that Her Majesty always
likes to see tx-fore her. she seta an exam
ple of strict moderation, her own tastes
in food being of Ihe simplest. The Queen
is a great stickler for old-fashioned ob
servances at the royal table. In particu
lar she insists upon a plentiful supply
of cold viands on the sideboard, though
she very rarely 1 ak< s anything cold. Tile
servants at Balmoral will never forget
one occasion when only Ihe half of a cold
i chicken graced the sideboard. The royal
mistress noticed the slate of affairs on en
tering the room. She conveyed 11 Hint to
Princess Ben trice and l-ady Ely to both
ask for cold chicken, and asked for the
same herself. Great was the consterna
tion, and the Queen secrel'y enjoyed the
scene, though the servants certainly did
not enjoy the lecture they subsequently
received from the master of the household
Queen Victoria attributes her long life
and excellent health largely to her jirae
ilcc of spending as much time as possible
in the open air every day. Iri her youth
riding was her favorite recreation, and In
Scotland she has almost Jived ori pony
back. Now, of course, carriage exercise
has taken its place. Every morning Her
Majesty goes out in Ic-r little jiony chair,
often visiting the farm and stables ln the
course of her drive. Sometimes her chair
is drawn by the tsautiful donkey which
was purchased ln the south of France by
his royal mistress to save him from Ill
treatment. This donkey rejoices In tha
name of Jacko. and on holiday occasions
wears a curious harness adorned with bells
and with two faxes' I, rushes hanging over
the blinkers. The greater part of the fore
noon of each weekday is devoted to busi
ness, for no woman In the land get*
through more actual work in the course of
each week than the Queen. Her dispatch
boxes are arranged on a table set in Wind
sor Park, near the Frogmore teahouse,
whenever the weather permits. Here the
Queen carefully reads and annotates the
innumerable dispatches which come to her
from the foreign and home offices.
