It was Capt. Purse's tenth election and
first time that he has had opposition.
V contest of ihis kind being new and un
u!Uai p, the Board of Trade, intense in
terest was aroused and the active sup
porters of the two candidates went into
the campaign with the greatest zeal. The
polls were open from 10 to 2 o’clock, and
until the last hour there was the liveliest
kind of canvassing. Every voter who
could he possibly got at and whose position
at all doubtful, was approached by
the supporters of both tickets and urged
,> ißsi his vote in the direction favored
ly those who Importuned him. The list
of voters was studied with the utmost
care, and by noon it was known just what
members had not voted, whether they
were out of town or whether they intended
voting. At 1 o'clock there were just fifty
votes in the box and during the last hour
not another vote was polled.
The voters' list showed just sixty mem
bers of the board eligible to vote. Of this
number seven were out of the city. After
lifty votes had been cast there were just
three members remaining in the city who
had not voted and these three declined to
vote for reasons satisfactory to them
selves. The active electioneering which
continued during the morning was con
ducted in the best of spirits and the bit
terness which it had .been predicted would
le manifested, failed (o develop. The
friends of Capt. Purse were satisfied at
noon that they easily had the best of the
voting, (hough with the few doubtful votes
vast and the votes whidh might still come
iii there was still some room for doubt.
By 1 o'clock, however, they felt that their
victory was assured.
The election was conducted by the in
spectors named at the previous election,
Messrs. E. S. Player, Thomas Warrick
and C. IV. Saus-y, who-e courtesy and
urbanity were as marked as their fair
ness. The inspectors mingled pleasure
with business, and seemed to get con
siderable amusement out of the discharge
of their duties.
The counting of the votes was begun
shortly after 2 o'clock in the presence of
a large number of the members of the
hoar I. The counting was conducted with
care and deliberation and it was nearly 3
o'clock when the result was announced.
Two votes wore thrown out for irregular
ities in the tickets, one member having
toted for eleven directors and another
having placed the same name twice on his
ticket. This did not affect the result in
any way as the two tickets were for oi>-
p: site factions.
"hen the result was announced there
was applause and cheers from both sides,
and Capt. Purse was as freely congratu
lated by his former opponents as by his
supporters. The feeling which prevailed
was m st satisfactory considering the in
t ivi interest which had been displayed
on both sides. The opinion was generally
expressvd that the little excitement over
the election would do no harm, hut would
ru.her serve to increase the interest of
th'' members in the work of the board.
Th<- board of directors Is generally re
garded as an excellent one, and one from
"nich much good work may be expected.

WAS A FORMER AVA N\ A HIA \.
Alisa Adelaide Wilson a Daughter of
the latc A. N. Wilson.
The Miss Adelaide Wilson, whose
strange conduct in connection with her
attempt to secure a place In the Congres
sional Library in Washington was report
ed In the dispatches in yesterday’s Morn
ing News, is well known in Savannah.
Miss Wilson is the daughter of the late
A. N. Wilson, ex-postmaster here. Mr.
Wilson was also deputy revenue collec
tor here for some time before he was
postmaster. He was afterward principal
of one of the public schools in Atlanta
and died there.
Miss Wilson resided here with her fath
er and afterward went wiih him to At
lanta. She attained some note as the au
thor of ‘‘Historic and Picturesque Savan
nah,” which was illustrated by her
friend, Miss Weymouth. The publication
possessed some merit and attracted fav
orable attention. Recently Miss Wilson
presented the Georgia Historical Society
with 100 copies of her book for distribu
tion to the various societies and libraries
throughout the country. Miss Wilson
bore an excellent reputation and has a
number of friends and acquaintances in
Savannah, who regret to hear of her ap
parently strange conduct.
Recently Miss Wilson wrote several let
ters to friends here In the effort to ar
range for an address before the Georgia
Historical Society by Miss Susan B. An
thony, the celebrated woman’s rights ad
vocate. She was given little encourage
ment in this, but, somewhat to the sur
prise of her correspondent** she replied to
their letters, expressing her pleasure at
their approval of the move and the en
couragement given her in the matter. In
her letters she mentioned the fact that
she was an applicant for a position In
the Congressional Library, and that she
was finding it very difficult to attain her
object.
From this it Is evident that the Miss
Wilson, who is reported to have made
offers to the congressmen to buy the place
which she desired and to have endeav
ored to forcefully press her claims upon
Senator Clay,is the same Miss Wilson who
formerly resided in Savannah. Miss Wil
son’s friends here fear that her mind
has become temporarily unbalanced.

MR. KRENSON’S CHARGES.
(Continued from Eighth Page.)
however, by instructions given him by
the Mayor.
The ciouncilmen seemed at a loss what
disposal to make of the charges, but City
Attorney Adams informed them that it
was proper that any charges preferred
against an officer of the city should be
given a hearing by Council. It was ac
cordingly decided that Dr. Levi should be
served with a copy of the charges and
that both he and Mr. Krenson should l>e
notified to be present at the next meet
ing.
An ordinance was introduced by Aider
man Wells giving the Southern Bell Tele
phone and Telegraph Company the right
to construct and operate a telephone sys
tem in the streets and lanes of the city,
either by poles and overhead wires or by
subways, with the usual conditions and
restrictions. It is understood that the Bell
Company intends extending its under
ground system.
An ordinance by Alderman Mills to re
store the salary of the keeper of Laurel
Grove Cemetery to the former figure of
SI,OOO a year, beginning with April 1, was
read twice by unanimous consent and
adopted.
By resolution by Alderman Dixon the
clerk was instructed to notify J. W. Mc-
Intyre to show cause before the next
meeting of Council why the building at
No. 220 Broughton street, east, should not
be removed as a public nuisance, it hav
ing been condemned as unsafe and a men
ace to surrounding property. This is a
matter of long standing. The building
was ordered removed a4 the last meet
ing of the Meldrim administration, but by
some oversight no steps were taken for
the enforcement of the order.
The resignation of Dr. S. PalmOr Lloyd
as city physician was accepted, and the
clerk was instructed to advertise an elec
tion 4o fill the vacancy at the next meet
ing of Council.
Alderman Thomas’ ordinance, providing
regulations for making house drainage
connections was, by request of the au
thor, referred to the Committee of the
Whole.
Alderman Haas’ ordinance, setting aside
certain sites on either side of the main
entrance to Laurel Grove Cemetery for
the McLaws and Bartow monuments, was
laid upon the table, it being stated that
the advisability of a change in sites is
now under consideration.
Alderman Schwarz's ordinance, provid
ing for the salq of unclaimed firearms
and other property taken from prisoners
by the police and remair.ing unclaimed for
six months, was adopted. Such property
is to be disposed of by the superintendent
of police, and the amount turned in to the
police reserve fund.
A petiticn was received from the prop
erty owners on Brady street, requesting
that the name of that street be changed
to Madison avenue. As Brady street is
only two blocks in length, the highsound
ing name chosen fer it by the property
owners caused some merriment among
the aldermen, several of whom appeared
to be in ignorance of its location.
The trustees of the Hebrew Cemetery
petitioned for the appointment Of a keep
er for that cemetery by the city, stating
that they are now at this expense them
selves. The trustees also asked to be re
lieved from an assessment of $3,500 upon
the real estate forming a part of the old
Hebrew Cemetery.
A petition for a settlement in the house
drainage matter was received from
Rourke & Mitchell, and referred to the
Drainage Committee. The statement was
made that Rourke & Mitchell are in debt
to the city, instead of the contrary being
the case.
A petition was received from R. L. Coin
ing, attorney for Ell Veruki, requesting
the refunding of $10) pajel by his client
a fine in the Police Court on the charge
of selling liquor on Sunday, the decision
of the Recorder having been reversed by
Judge Falligant in the Superior Court.
City Attorney Adams expressed great sur
prise nt the announcement, stating that
he had not been informed of any such
action by Judge Falligant, nor had he
been given any notice to appear at such
a hearing. The statement was made in
formally that Judge Falligant's action
had been based upon a recent decision of
the Supreme Coutt in a similar case, and
that Recorder Hartridge had consented to
the reversal. ' Mr. Adams replied that
there was an essential difference between
this case and the one reversed hv the Su
preme Court, and that besides the Re
corder had no authority to act in such a
matter. He will look into the lYrntter at
once.
C. M. Gilbert & Cos. were granted per
mission to build a spur track to their
warehouse on River street.

PLAINTIFF LOST HIS SLIT.
Jmlglloruonil Granted Non Suit in
Case Against Hugh Logan,
After the introduction of the evidence
for the plaintiff in the damage suit of
John Jerkshatt, against Hugh Dogan, on
trial in the City Court yesterday, the at
torneys for the defendant made a motion
for a non suit, and, after argument, this
was declared by 4he court.
The plaintiff sued the defendant for
damages for the loss of the lingers of hia
light hand, which were mangled by a
sausage machine, belonging to the defend
ant, which he was operating at the time
of the accident, and while he was in Mr.
Logan's employment.
The plaintiff claimed that the dangerous
nature of the machine should have been
explained to him by his employer, and
that the failure to give this explanation
resulted in the accident In which he lost
his fingers, and justified his claim for
damages. Judge Norwood agreed with
the contentions of the defendant that the
damage was plain and obvious, and that
the plaintiff should have used his own
faculties to protect himself. Hence he
awarded the non suit. The plaintiff was
represented by Mr. W. M. Heyward and
the defendants by Messrs. Osborne .y
Lawrence.
