The politicians have but two days left
In which to hustle, and the campaign for
ordinary and tax collector seems to get
warmer hourly. All of the candidates ap
pear sanguine, and the contest promises
to be a spirited one. The supporters of
the candidates are active, and are limber
ing up for. the battle of ballots on Friday.
Registrar J. Robert Creamer said yes
terday that he had no idea at this time
what the total registration is. In the last
municipal election, something over 6.700
persons were registered, but this number
will be greatly redCced. In the neighbor
hood of -30 voters paid up yesterday, and
their names will bo taken off the disqual
ified list. The registrars worked hard all
day, but were unable to place all of those
back on the lists. It is expected
that fully ns many will pay up to-day,
and the registrars are figuring on how
they will be able to get through with their
work. Representatives of the candidates
were stationed in the tax collector's office
yesterday to pay taxes of those supposed
to be "all right.” Those who have not
paid up before 6 o'clock to-morrow even
ing will not be permitted to vote on Fri
day.
Several meetings were held in each of
the city districts last night, nnd the
friends of the various candidates made
speeches and incidentally indorsements.
These district clubs appear to spring up
like mushrooms, and this is one of the
sure signs of the approach of election
day.
Air. Joseph Molina, who has allied him
self with Capt. McAlpin, resigned yester
day morning ns Judge Keilbach’s clerk.
-Mr. Molina asked that his resignation be
accepted at once and this was done. There
we re no new developments in the Screven-
Keiibach deal nnd matters now stand
where they did when the agreement was
reached on Monday.
The McAlpin supporters are enthusiastic
end headquarters was established on
Broughton street lane ami Drayton street.
Anew club sprang up last night in the
tlrst district and at a meeting of some

Enoch P. Hartley presided and a com
mittee was named to notify the candidates

Oglethorpe Club were S. S. McHall, Rev.
W. H. Styles. John 'Waddell. J. B. Kim
ball. Thomas Walker. Rev. B. H. Benier,
H. Willis. P. Hackett and Tom Golden.
All the speeches commended in terms of
the heartiest enthusiasm the candidacy of
-Maj. Screven. Another meeting of the
club will be held to-morrow night.
The Chatham County McAlpin Club held
a rousing meeting in Kiene’s Hall on
Bryan street and indorsed Capt. McAlpin
for ordinary and Mr. Thompson for tax
collector. Mr. I. G. Schwarzbaum pre
sided and Mr. J. H. Burch was made sec

terson and James White.
The colored voters in the Fourth Dis
trict held a meeting in Harris street hall
and indorsed Maj. Screven. Josiah Brown
was elected chairman and Sam F. Rol
man secretary. Nothing was done about
indorsing a candidate for tax collector.
The McAlpin Club of the Fourth Dis
trict held a lenghty meeting with G. W.
Shaw in the chair. A resolution indorsing
Cfcpt. McAlpin was unanimously passed.
The speakers at this meeting were: J. C.
Miller. W. E. Moore. L. M. Pleasants,
Rev. J. W. Roberts. G. W. Shaw, W. D.
Cutcher. Rev. J. J. Durham and Mr.
Joseph Killorin There were probably sev
eral other district meetings of which
nothing was heard.
The colored voters of the First and Sec
ond districts, who favor the candidacy of
Capt. Henry McAlpin for ordinary, met
at Duffy Street Hall. A large
and enthusiastic crowd, said to have
numbered £SO voters, was present. L. A.

age was elected secretary. Speeches were
made by W. H. Woodhouse. R. M. Rut
jedge, T. J. Reese. Henry Maclean and
J,. C. Simmons. A committee of live was

enthusiastic support which was promised
him.
POLICE AND THE ELECTION.
Capt. MrAlplu’s Letter to the Mayor
In Ilegard to Them.
Capt. Henry McAlpin has heard that
the police force of the city will be used
4o advance the Interests of Maj. Screven,
!hjs opponent for the office of ordinary, in
the election to be held Friday. He and
one of his staunchest supporters, Mr
Joseph Killorin, waited upon the Mayor
yesterday and presented the following let
ter. signed by Oapt. McAlpin:
“It it rumored about the city that the
police force will be used to advance the
Interests of Maj. Screven, in his race for
ordinary Friday next. While not credit
ing a rumor so wild, we call attention to
the same, so that you may adopt the
necessary safeguards to prevent any In
justice or serious breaches of the peace.
“If any such calamity shall befall our
people through lack of care on your part
■we shall feel thet the responsibility will
jest with yeu.”
The Mayor gazed with some astonish
ment at the latter. When Its full purport
dawned upon him, he told Capt. McAl
pin that he regarded his communication
tut a reflection upon 4h# police force. He
staked Capt. McAlpin If he could recite
any Instance In which tha iiollce had
l*ee.n employed to further the Interests of
ar.y candidate. Capt. McAlpin replhd that
he had hoard the rumor, and that he
thought It due to himself that he should
Mivy it to the Mayor.
Maj fk reven, who is superintendent of

MAY OFFER MORE SITES.
Two More for Ihe Fair Seem to the
Committee In Prospect.
It is probable that file committee hav
ing in hand the selection of a site for
the State Fair grounds will have more
than the offers of the Ten Bnoeck race
and the Thunderbolt Driving Park
to choose from.
Mr. Lawrence T. Doyle waited upon Mr.
J. W. Jackson, chairman of the com
mittee from the Board of Directors of
the Savannah Fair Association, yester
day, and practically made an offer of
lands on the Thunderbolt Shell Road, just
beyond Mr, Herman Winter's place. An
other gentleman, who desired that hia
name be withheld until he was certain
that he could make the desired arrange
ments, saw Mr. Jackson and said that
lie thought he would be able to offer a
tract that the directors would find suita
ble in every way for their purposes.
A meeting of the committee was 'O
have been held to-day, but Mr. Jackson
said it would be necessary to postpone it
for a day or two in order that all de
siring to offer propositions might have
the opportunity. It is probable that, when
tile committee meets, there will be pres
ent gentlemen to urge the merits of their
respective tracts. This privilege has been
accorded by the committee.
Air. A. P. Doyle will appear before the
committee in behalf of the Thunderbolt
Driving Park. He Is coniident that the
terms that he offers the association will
be more generous than those of anyone
else, and the advantages of Thunderbolt
as a place for the Fair are, to his mind,
Very evident.
Among the suggestions made by Mr.
Doyle yesterday were the use of the river
for boat races as a feature of the Fair,
and the obtaining of permission from the
Tnunderbolt authorities to temporarily
close the driveway along the bluff In or
der to add the space to the Fair grounds
ii’closure.
IMPROVEMENT OF TYBEE.
Another Meeting of Thone Interested
Held l.nst Night.
A meeting in the interest of the project
ed improvements at Tybee was held last
night at 'the Pulaski House. Mr. William
Kehoe acted as chairman, and among
others present were Mr. S. L. Lazaron,
Mr. D. B. 'Morgan, Mr. Charles F. Gra
ham and Mr. John G. Butler.
It was decided to request Mr C. H. Dor
sett, chairman of the former meeting, to
add Messrs. Graham and Joseph Ferst
to the committee thait was to wait upon
the railroads entering Savannah with the
view- of inducing them to contribute to the
fund that is to be raised to prosecute the
plans for improvements in the way of
amusements for visitors. The committee
will be urged to get to work at once, as
it Is thought that subscriptions to stock
from the railroads would be followed by
a greater display of interest by the public
generally.
Mr. Lazaron and others expressed the
view that the movement is by no means
dead, but that only proper efforts tire
needed to make it successful. The mutual
interests of the people of Savannah, those
of Tybee. the proprietor of the hotel and
the railroads ail demand the improve
ments, and Mr. Lazaron insisted that
the appreciation of this would be followed
by immediate and strong financial sup
port.
Letters were read from President John
M. Egan of the Central Railroad, show
ing that it is the Intention of the Central
to build a pavilion at Tybee for the use
of its patrons. Mr. Egan wrote that the
railroad needs such a pavilion in order
that prospective Tybee visitors at interior
points may be promised its use in the
event of their taking a trip to the island.
WITH GRANITE FRONT.
.Mr. Weed Will Hull <1 and Improve
on Broughton Street.
A handsome new building is to be erect
ed on Broughton street, between Barnard
and Jefferson, by Mr. J. D. Weed. The
improvement will not stop with the erect
ion of the building, for the stores now oc
cupied by Messrs. J. D. Weed & Cos. will
be remodeled throughout and made to cor
respond upon the exterior with the new
building.
The improvement will add greatly to the
Immediate locality on Broughton street.
The new building is to occupy the vacant
lot. 62 by 90 feet, that is just west of the
stores now occupied by Weed & Cos. Ex
cavations for the work are now in pro
gress, under the superintendence of Mr.
George T. Steinecker, architect, who drew
the plans for the new building and for the
renovation and remodeling of the old
stores, it is expected that eight or nine
months will bo required for the comple
tion of the entire work, though the new
building will be completed within about
half that time .
The stores now occupied by Weed &
Cos. are Nos. 211 and 213 Broughton street,
west. When the new building has been
finished. Weed & Cos. will remove from
their present stores in the more commo
dious one. Work will then start upon the
renovation and remodelling of the old
stores, and. when finished, they will be
leased by Mr. AVeed to merchants.
A feature of the new building and the
remodelled stores will be a granite front.
The first floor will have a plate glass
front. The effect will be Imposing, as the
first story is to be of unusual hight.
TO CHANGE FUNERAL CUSTOMS
'limy Wlnlafera Think 'feillpM Ki
limure of the .Mourners Iselesa.
Many of the ministers ot the city have
recently been considering a plan of reform
In the matter of etiquette at funerals.
It has been noticed, said Rev. Osgood F.
Cook yesterday, that not a few of the re
cent deaths chronicled In this city lire
Indirectly the result of diseases contracted
by exposure In the cemeteries. This, said
Rev. Mr. Cook, Is particularly true In
many cases of grip and pneumonia.
If it were generally understood, contin
ued Mr. Cook, that by keeping on of hats
no disrespect was intended, this danger
of contracting colds, with all of the Ills
that sometimes follow, would be obviated.
Mr. Cook also said that it Is the inten
tion of the ministers in future to ask that
those gathered at the grave keep on their
hats.

TELEGRAPH OPEH ATOR BROWN’S
CIV AIM FOR $5,000 DAMAGES.
ROPE ACROSS SIDEWALK.
R ESI I.TED IN nil MAKING HIS C’OD
LAR BONE.

Hope Intenileit a* a Proteetlnn to
l’eileKtrlnn*. but Proved a Trap.
The claim of <Mr. Charles C. Brown
for $5,000 damages tvaa filed yesterday
with the clerk of Council. Mr. Brown
wants the city to pay him that amount to
compensate him for the injuries he sus
tained on the night of Dec. 1, last, when
he tripped and fell over the rope
strung up across the sidewalk at the
corner of Drayton street and Oglethorpe
avenue. The rope was supposedly for the
protection, of pedestrians from the ruined
walls of the old Chatham Academy, but
it served on more than one occasion to en
danger life and limb by tripping them up.
It is recited in the claim that Mr.
Brown exercised all diligence and every
precaution, the accident having been
through no contributory negligence on his
part. It is further claimed' that the city
was negligent in allowing ithe rope to
sag until it was within but a few inches
of the pavement, just a distance to make
it most dangerous for pedestrians. No
light was placed upon the rope to reveal
its presence, it is further claimed, and
the shadow's from the trees made it im
possible to discern it without observing
more closely than one would ordinarily.
Mr. Brown's collar-bone was broken by
the fall, and he sustained other injuries,
principally bruises. He is out $lOO for a
doctor’s bill. He was earning a good sal
ary as telegraph operator at the time of
the accident, and, in addition to his pe
cuniary loss, he wants compensation for
the pain and suffering entailed.
It will be recalled that the accident to
Mr. Brow’n was written up in the Morn
ing News at the time of its occurrence.
There followed some agitation of the
question as to who had put up the rope,
and this may figure in the trial of the
claim, should it reach the courts, which
is by no means improbable.
SHOT IN ABDOMEN.
William l.ii4*ii s Probably Fatally
Shot by Negro Bartender.
William Lucas, colored, was shot and
probably fatally wounded at midnight
last night on East Broad and Liberty
streets by John Maxwell, also colored.
Maxwell was placed under arrest by Pa
trolman Jernigan and sent to the police
station, where he Is held to await the re
sult of Lucas’ wound.
Maxwell ie employed in the. saloon of
Alex Mendel on Blast Broad and Liberty
streets, and the shooting occurred just
after the bar had closed for the night.
Maxwell stated, after his arrest, that he
had been forced to shoot Lucas. Lucas
was under the influence of liquor, and it
is said that he had been engaged in a
row with Moxwell earlier in the night.
He renewed the quarrel after the bar
closed, and Maxwell fired two shots from
a 32-caliber revolver.
One of the bullets entered the pit of
Lucas' stomach and the other missed the
mark. Lucas was taken to his home on
Blast Boundary street, near Oglethorpe
avenue, where he received medical treat
ment. The shooting occurred within a
block of Harris street hall, where Will
iam Harmon was shot the night before,
and Harmon and Lucas reside within a
block of each other.
YACHT CH IPS STBVVAKDS.
To Keep Their Proc'ceillnira to Them
selves Hereafter,
A meeting of the Board of Stewards of
the Savannah Yacht Club was held yes
terday at the office of the commodore.
Mr. Julian Schley in the Board of Trade
building. One mt'mber of the board ex
pressed himself as opposed to reports of
the meetings of the board appearing in
the newspapers, saying that he consid
ered they should he held without their
action being divulged.
In this suggestion the majority of the
members concurred. When the commodore
and two others were seen for a report
of the meeting, they iVecltned to give any
information about it.
The meeting was the first since
the election of the Board of
Stewards at the annual meeting of the
club last week, and it Is presumed that
a chairman was elected and committees
oppolnted. If such was the case, infor
mation will probably reach the members
by circular or announcement at a meot
irg of the club. The refusal to give in
formation of the board's action was due,
it Is understood, to some recent occur
rences which resulted in a number of
changes in the board at the club’s annual
meeting.

AT CHURCH OF ASCENSION,
Wedding of .Mr. wflliuni Hcnges and
Mi** Estelle Knek Was Celebrated.
At S o'clock last night, at the Lutheran
Church of the Ascension, a beautiful wed
ding took place, uniting Mr. F. William
Henges and Miss Estelle Kuck. The cere
mony was performed by Rev. John H.
Harms of Newport, Pa., assisted by Rev.
W. C. Schaeffer, pastor of the church,
and was witnessed by a large assemblage
of relatives and friends.
The decorations were elaborate, tall
palms and potted plants filling the chancfel,
| while the railing was entwined with
wreaths of bamboo vine. Promptly at the
hour arranged for the ceremony the
“Wedding March” from Lohengrin an
nounced the coming of the bridal party.
The ushers, who entered first, were Mr.
Samuel Wheaton, Jr., Mr. Henry Behr,
Mr. Henry Suiter and Mr. Henry Monsees.
Following them came the bridesmaids and
groomsmen, who walked in the following
order: Aliss Annie Suiter and Mr. John
Sehoder, Jr., Miss Meta Entelman and Mr.
George D. Semken, and Miss Mattie Wie
gand and Mr. Edward Krieger. The
maid-of-honor, Miss Georgie Kuck, walk
ed alone, preceding the bride and her
father, Mr. John Kuck.
The best man, Mr. Fred Wessels, ac
companied the groom, and together they
advanced from the vestry room to the
chancel steps. Grouped beneath the
palms, the bridal party made a striking
picture, the white and pink gowns of the
bride and her maids, being set off by the
glossy green of palms and smilax. The
bride was lovely in her glistening robe of
white satin, en traine. The bodice was
draped with a bertha of Duchess lace over
u yoke of shirred chiffon. The skirt
also showed fan-like plaitings of
chiffon at its edges. A tulle veil fastened
with a tiara of iilies-of-the-valley and
orange blossoms, fell in graceful folds to
the end of the train, while a bouquet of
white roses and lilies of the valley com
pleted the costume.
The gowns worn by the maids of honor
and the bridesmaids were dainty in the
extreme. They were of white chiffon
with lace insertions, over white satin. The
low-cut bodices were finished on the left
side with rosettes of pink mousseline,
and they carried lovely bouquets of Cath
erine Mermet roses tied with pink satin
ribbons.
During the ceremony the soft strains of
"Call Me Thine” were faintly heard, and
as a recessional the march from Tannhau
ser was played by Mr. John VViegand.
The bridal party and wedding guests
were entertained after the ceremony at
the Guards’ Hail, where Mr. and /Mrs.
Kuck held a reception. The hall, brilliant
with lights and decorations of palms and
bamboo, presented a festive scene
throughout the evening. An orchestra
furnished music for the dancing, and an
elaborate supper, prepared by the German
Aid Society, was served at 12 o'clock. The
happy couple left at midnight for Flor
ida, where the honeymoon will be spent.
The bride's traveling gown was of pale
gray cloth trimmed with, stitched taffeta
silk, and she wore a toque of gray straw
and tucked chiffon. Numbers of handsome
and useful gifts were received by the hap
py pair, including sliver, furniture, cut
glass, pictures, and -bric-a-brac. Both
young people ore popular with a large
circle of friends.
The groom, who is a son of Mrs. John
Juchter, is a successful and highly es
teemed young business man. The bride is
the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Kuck, and besides her personal beauty
possesses many lovely traits of character.
She is a graduate of Elizabeth College.
North Carolina. An interesting point in
connection with the wedding is the fact
that yesterday was the twenty-second an
niversary of .the marriage of the bride’s
parents. On their return to Savannah Mr.
and Mrs. Henges will reside at No. 221
Hntl street, west, where they will keep
house.

dence of the bride’s parents, Gen. and

The ceremony was performed by Rev.

and quiet, there being no recep
tion, and only the relatives of the bride

for the occasion with ferns, carnations
and violets.
Mr. Newman and his birde are both well

Just at this time. With his bride he will
make his home for the present with Gen.
and Mrs. McGlashan, at 307 Bolton street,
east.

MORE MONEY NEEDED
COI XTY IS ASKED TO APPROPRIATE
SBO,OOO FOR EDUCATION.
AN INCREASE OF $15,000
OVER THE COUNTY APPROPRIATION
FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.
Nearly $.10,000 Will Re Needed ©br
ing 1801 and 1802, to Complete
Payment* on Thirty-eighth Street
School and Pay Rental on Chatham
Academy—Board Started 1802 W ith
a Deficit of SI,BOO and the Aetunl
Increase In Expenses of Operation
nnd Mnintennuce Is About SI,OOO.
Commissioners Will Consider
Statements.
The Board of Education estimates that
it will require an. appropriation from the
county of nearly a hundred thousand dol
lars to carry the school system through
the year 1902. The exact amount of the
county appropriation needed, as estimat
ed by the board, is $99,073.98.
The county appropriation for last year
was $85,000, of which amount SIO,OOO,
which had been added to the budget pre
pared by the County Commissioners by
the grand jury, it was specifically direct
ed should be applied to the construction
of the Thirty-eighth Street School. This
would leave a balance for the actual op
eration and repair of the schools of $75,-
000.
About four-fifths of the increase of $25,-
000 above this amount, made in the Board
of Education's estimate of expenditures
for 1902, is for construction. Of the entire
amount $9,868.07 represents the balance
due on the now completed school building
on Thirty-eighth street and $20,000, the
rental of Chatham Academy, for the
years 1901 and 1902. Under the agreement
with the Chatham Academy trustees, the
Board of Education is to pay $15,000, the
first year, and $5,000 for the second.
The payments necessary to be made for
ihe completion of the Thirty-eighth
Street School and the $15,000 rental of
Chatham Academy will cause a deficit
in the board's treasury, at the end of
the year 1901, which is estimated at $lB,-
075.08. This, carried over to 1902, pro
duces the necessity for the comparatively
large appropriation. The actual increase
in operating expenses and maintenance is
only about s3,Out), there having been a de
ficit of $3,900 on Jan. 1, 1901.
The statement of the Finance Commit
tee has been for some time in the hands
of the County Commissioners. It w r as
submitted to the board by the commit
tee at the meeting on Monday night,
and was then approved and ordered
spread upon the minutes. The statement
shows the actual financial condition ot
the board on Jan. 1, 1901, the probable
condition on Jan. 1, 1902, and the esti
mated expenditures for 1902.
The financial statement of the board,
Jan. 1, 1901, was as follows:
Call loans due Jam 1, 1901 $23,900.00
Current bills, approved but unpaid 235.33
Total indebtedness due Jan. 1,
1901 24,135.39

The county appropriation for the year
1900 included $lO,OOO, which w*as specifically
directed by the grand jury to be expended
upon the Thirty-eighth street school build
ing. At the close of the year 1900 all of
this $10,0i)0 and a considerable sum besides
had ben expended upon the building,
which was then nearing completion.
On January 1, 1901, there was still due
from the state, on account of the appropri
ation for 1900, $14,922.76, and from the coun
ty for the same year, $2,500.
The payments upon the new school
buikfing in excess of the special appropri
ation of $lO,OOO, and the delay In receiving
the balances due from the state and coun
ty made it necessary for the Board to bor
row the sums indicated above.
