faeces of slate can easily be seen the onl
ine of two different pieces of fern. The
main stem or trunk, the branches and leaves
are perfectly apparent, and it looks as
though a painter had Spent hours of work
upon them. As curiosities they are worthy of
preservation.
—Attention of our readers is called to the
“Musical Notice” elsewhere published of
Davis Bros., announcing that they had
taken the agency of the Estey Organ Com
pany, of Atlanta. This firm will doubtless
push their new business with their accus
tomed vim and energy, and as they have
secured the services of Mr. J. M. Schley,
who has had about ten years experience in
that line, and is also well known as a gen
tieman of untiring energy, their success
can be safely guaranteed.
A Delightful Entertainment.
Ou Friday evening next, the 23rd inst., a
very delightful entertainment will be given
at Masonic Temple under the auspices of the
Ladies’ Church Aid Society, for a most wor
thy object. The ladies having charge of
this affair have given careful attention to the

SLIGHT FIKES.
I
A Defective Flue in a Church— A Chimney
Ablaze.
| List night at 10:30 o'clock box No. 31, |
corner of Gaston and B ill streets, was
turned on. Tiie Fire Department immedi-
i ately responded, and found the cause of the
I alarm to be a slight fire i-i the First Pres-
> byterian Church < n the sou beast corner of
j Taylo'and ’’till streets, facing Montgomery
■ square. J. C. Williams, the colored sexton,
was the first to disco er ther th fire. He
visited it for the purpose of re ilenishiug
the tire in the furnace, which had been
started at 12 o’clock yesterday, and discov
ered the building filled with smoke. He
immediately rushed across to the residence
of Mr. J. M. Harden, No. 110 Taylor street,
and informed him of the fact. That ger
tlemau immediately went over to thechurrh
when he discovered a s ight flame issuing
from a corner of the library room just op
posite the furnace flue. A half dozen
buckets of water were dashed on the flames,
but as that did not seem to do the intended
work an alarm was sounded which brought
out thedepaitment. By 10:45 the fire was
entirely subdued, very little water having
been used and no damage from water being
sustained, thanks to the patent water shut-off
attached to the nozzle. An apperture large
enough to admit a man’s body was burned
and cut out by the firemen. The building
was insured in the Southern Mutual for
SII,OOO. The damage will not exceed SIOO
The cause was evidently a defective flue.
A local alarm of fire was also sounded
about 9 o’clock in the evening, caused by
the burning of a chimney in a house on the
corner of Floyd and Hull streets, near Har
mon’s livery stables. Quite a crowd col
lected and the excitement was intense. No
damage was done.
The Coming Kaces.
The Gentlemen’s Driving Park last night
was in a state of perfect readiness for the
coming races to-morrow. The track is as
level and smooth as a floor, and is of just the
proper elasticity to make it easy on the
racers. To-morrow before the races com
mence, the roller will be used to pack the
track still more. A large crowd is expected
to be in attendance.
Tiie Ball and Bat.
Although a Times reporter yesterday fol
lowed up the subject of base ball mentioned
. on Friday last, he was unable to get any
thing conclusive. It is agreed that Savan
nah shall have a first-class nine beyond a
doubt, but the actions of one or two gen
tiemen interested in the matter are now
being waited on, and it will p obably be the
middle of next week before anything more
. definite than the fact that a crack team is
to be brought out will be known.
Curious Contested Election Case.
Camden county has a peculiar case in the
way of a contested election, notice of contest
being received here yesterday by a friend oi
. the contestant. A. F. Mira was a candidate
for Ordinary of that county and so was also
A. B. Vanvalkenburg. But the latter can
didate misled the former by leading him to
believe that he was not in the race. He
then went to work and bad tickets printed
with himself as candidate for Ordinary and
his opponent as candidate for Coroner:
Both were elected, but as Mira did not want
the office of Coroner and thinks he w; s
cheated and defrauded out ot bis election
for Ordinary he proposes to contest the elec
tion, claiming that inasmuch as he was
elected Coroner he would have received as
many votes for Ordinary.
Election of Officers by Chatham Artillery.
At a late meeting of the Chatham Artil
ery, the resignations of Orderly Sergeant
Geo. S. Turntr, Second Sergeant W. A
Walker end Third Sergeant VV. S. Clarke
' were tendered and accepted. As the offi
cers next in line of promotion refused to
accept promotion, Corporal I. A. Solomi ns
' was pr moted to Orderly Sergeant, Fourth
Sergeant J. R. Saussy to Second Sergeant,
, Corporal H. S. Dreese to Third Sergeant,
, and Fourth Corporal E. M. Green to Fourth
. Sergeant. Third Corporal Adams refused
’ promotion in order, and was promoted to
First Corporal, and H. W. Palmer to Second
j Corporal. Private H G. Ward was elected
to Third Corporal and W. G. Cann Fourth
Corporal.

I In accordance with a call of the Chair

a mass meeting of the citizens of Savannah
was held last night at die Theatre to hear
the report of the Committee of twenty-five
appointed on Thursday night, to fill such
vacancies on the ticket L for Aidermen which
was then nominated, as the exigencies
might require.
The attendance in consequence of the
short notice, the cold weather, and possi
bly, the fact that the selections made by
the Committee, were by some means made
known during the day and were sa'isfacto
ry, was not as large as usual on the occa
casions of Democratic gatherings Saturday
night—a bad night for political assemblages,
as well as theatrical companies, and this
was a “Saturday night house ”
Shortly after 8 o’clock, ; 01. Lester, Chair
man, called the meeting to order, and briefly
stated the object to be the reception of the
report of the committee of twenty-five.
Hon. P. W. Meldrim, Chairman of the
Committee, thereupon presented the follow
ing rep rt:

Hamlet, P. J. O’Connor, Geo. N. Nichols
and W. B. Mell, accept the nomination ten
dered
2. That Messrs. J J. Wilder, E M Green,
J. F. Minis and Andrew Hanley, are iorced
to decline the nomination tendered.
3. That Messrs. Herman Myers, Wil
liam Duncan, R. D. Bogart and Geo. J.
Mills, have been unanimously selected to
fill the vacancies.
On motion the report was received and
the nominations proposed were unani
mously adopted.
The Municipal ticket now stands as fol
lows:

D. R Thomas, John Derst,
John R. Hamlet, P. J. O’Connor,
George N. Nicholls, W B. Mell,

After the ratication of the report on mo
tion the meeting adjourned.

quested members of the executive com
mittee present to remain and assemble at
• the rear of the stage. The committee met
a id it was then resolved to have a meeting

The Cold Weather.
A Times reporter visited the Signal
Bureau last night and learned that the storm
had pissed from the Ohio valley to the
St. Lawrence valley, and clear and cold
weather might now be expected. It was
anticipated that the storm signals would le
ordered down this morning. The weather is
expected to be very cold, though not more
extreme than already felt. The injury to
fruit and vegetables will not be more serious
than that experienced on the 20th of De
cember, or on last Sunday. The telegraph
wires are reported down in Virginia, and
business is three or four hours behind time
in consequence, though all the Georgia lines
are in good condition.

THE “PIRATES OF PENZANCE.”
A D< light fill Entertainment in Prospect—
Glance at the Cast.
Arthur Sullivan’s “Pirates of Penzance”
will be produced at the Savannah Theatre
on the evening of the 30th and 31st of the
present month, by a number of Savannah
amateurs, under the management of Messrs
Rebarer, Ray and Readick. A rehearsal of
the opera took place at the Ford s opera
house on Thursday night, at which a few
persons outside of the singers were present.
Those who were there, however, had an op
portunity of hearing the attractive music
and received a fair impression of what
promises to be an exceptionally fine per
formance. The opera will be rendered with
orchestra accompaniment, with a chorus of
40 voices, and with a cast which includes
Some of the best musical talent of the city.
The Pirates of Penzance is the offspring
of the brain of W. 8. Gilbert and Arthur
Sullivan, the first being the composer of the
words while the latter composed the music.
Arthur Sullivan is credited with having
raised the light comic opera from a not
creditable position to the eminence o >
which it now stands, and in consequence
thereof he was knighted in England.
Among his pioductions, all of which are
considered quite chaste, may be mentioned
Patience, Pinafore, lolanthe, etc.
It is the intention of the managers of this
entertainment to make it the most recher
che affair of the season among amateur
performers, and that they will be successful
there can be but little doubt. The p'otof
the play is familiar to all, hence it would be
a waste of time and space to outline it here
Let it suffice to say that Mr. Rebarer, aided
by the two other gentlemen named above,
is making an effort to take the place in
Savannah which Madame Barbot has made
for herself in Charleston. Successful in
this, Mr. Rebarer proposes to give three or
four performances of the kind each season,
and there is no reason why it it should not
prove a success. A glance at the cast will
show that a musical treat of no little mag
r itude is in store for the Savannah audi
ence. ’
The Pirate King—Mr. Frank Readick
He has a rich baritone voice, heavy and
much impioved since he last appeared as a
•inger on the stage. Samuel, the Pirate
Lieutenant—Mr. Jefferson Miller. He has
a pretty, light and graceful baritone voice

of very fine quality, splendid range, and j
every way adapted to the operatic stage She I
has taken prominent parts in other per
formances in a number of cities, principally I
' Western, and is said to be a tine little ’
actress. Much is expected of her, and the
rehearsals show that she will not disappoint
? these hopes. Kate, also, a daughter of!
. Stanley—Miss Fernandez She is
. already quite a favorite, and a delightful
1 little actress of good voice and will come

has taken the utmost care in drilling the
chorus of 30 voices Mr. Readick is stage
manager, and is assisted by Mr. Ray. The I
business management is in the hands of Mr. |
Rebarer, who is making an honest endeavor I
to give a truly high toned entertainment, j
having a good orchestra, new costumes, etc. |
A Narrow Escape.
Yesterday what had almost culminated j
in a very serious affair occurred on ■ 1
ton between Barnard and Whitaker I
stieets. Miss Maggie, daughter of the late j
John Oliver, was using a basin of naphtha j
for the purpose of cleansing a pair of gloves,
the basin being placed on the hearth and
she standing some three feet or more from
it. At the time there was no fire in the
grate, but it was suggested by some one of ■
the family that one be built, it being quite 1
chilly. An attempt was made to start the
fire and the flames communicated to the nap- j
tha and from the naptha leaped up and en- j
veloped the young lady’s arms and body in
a volume of flame. With great presence of |
mind the other members of the family |
quickly exiinguished the fiery element and
saved the young lady’s life. An examina
t on madedevelo, ed the fact that no seri-1
ous injuries were sustained, only the hands
and arms being slightly blistered. Medi
cal aid was quickly summoned and every
thing possible to medical skill was done to
relieve her.

Court of Ordinary yesterday, is the following |
matter of public interest:

AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.
Another Version of Brer’ Rabit and the
Tar Baby
The following laughable incident, to the
spectators at least, which is related by the
Atlanta Con -titution, may be of some interest
to our readers, since the Superintendent,
Mr. Frank Dillon, is well known here, and
is a brother of Manager Dillon, of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. The bur
glaralarm is owned by T. S. Wayne, of this
city The affair occurred on last Thursday:
■‘Yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock pe
destrians, and others who were near the cor
ner of Alabama and Whitehall streets, were
treated to a novel and thrilling
sight. The burglar alarm linemen
were engaged stretching their wire, ami had
just reached the pole in front of Steven’s
jewelry store, when the wire crossed and
came in contact with the electric light wire.
The lineman was on the cross-beam on the
pole, and was adjusting his wire when the
two wires touched The instant the wires
came in contact the electric current left the
electric light wire and followed the bur
glar-alarm wire. The current was strong,
and when it reached the lineman he receiv
ed the full force of the shock. His arms
were clasped around the pole; his feet were
over the beam and his muscles were power
less to obey his will. His predicament was
not an eviable one. It was witnessed by sev
eral people, among whom was a *oung man
who had been aiding him. The young man
at once grabbed the wire to pull it
away from the electric light wire, but the
instant his fingers touched it they were
drawn tightly together and he could not
turn it loose. The superintendent had wit
nessed the entire tableau, and laughing at
both men he grabbed the wire to pull it up,
and he was given the same shock. Recalled
loudly for some one to cut the wire and
then began dancing a jig. People who were
passing enjoyed the scene, but all took good
care to keep a safe distance from the wire,
as sparks were flying from it fast and thick.
Finally some one cut the wire, and as soon
as the current was broken things settled
down to business again.”
DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Concert at Independent Presbyterian Sun
day School Room.
On Friday night one of the most brilliant
musical affairs which it has been the for
tune of Savannah people to witness in quite
a while, took place at the Independent
Presbyterian Church Sunday School on
Bull street under the auspices of the Ladies’
i Missionary Aid Society of the above named
: church, and under the direction of Mrs.
: Alexis McNulty, and to this lady is due
I the credit of assembling together the finest
! vocal musical talent of the city. The audi
, dence in attendance could not have been
surpassed in point of numbersand refinement
had an effort to do so have been made. The
I opening of the programme was a quartette
sung by Mrs. Bassett, Miss Silva and Mr.
: Rebarer and Mr. Banks. This was followed
by Tosti’s “Good-bye,” a solo rendered in
| excellent manner by Mr. J. C. Postell
I Mrs. Postell then sung in fine style the solo
j “Sweet Spring is Here.” Mrs. Bassett, Mrs
I Reilly and Miss Silva then sung a trio en
i titled “Charity,” by Rossini, followed by
I Mr. Banks in a beautiful gem of song,
j “Her King,” by Blumenthal. He re
ceived a hearty encore in return for this
I beautiful melody and treated the audience
I to the Creole Love Song of Buck. This con-
I eluded the first part of the programme.
The second part was oeguu by Mr. and
Mrs. Postell in an excellently rendered
I duet, “I would that My Love,” by Mendels
sohn. Mr. Rebarer then gave, in his usual
; faultless manner, the “Blue Alsatian Moun-
I tains,” which was encored most heartily,
I making the hit of the vening. He then
sung “Then You’ll Remember Me,” as
sweetly as ’twere possible to render it.
! The musical entertainment then closed with
I a quartette of voices, consisting of Messrs.
' Rebarer and Postell, and Mrs. Reilly and
Mrs. Postell. The entertainment was
| voted by all an immense success. After the
j musical programme was ended the audience
I adjourned to the large h ili down stairs,
■ where a tempting eol ation was partaken of
by all. The retreshaients were served in
excellent style and the prices were a mar
vel of cheapness.

The Reception of Hon. Carl Schurz.
Hon. Carl Schurz will arrive in this city
Friday night or Saturday morning next, and
will lecture at the Savannah Theatre on
Saturday night. He reaches Charleston on
the 21st, and the people of that city have
already taken action in regard to his visit.
The following is a copy of a dispatch sent
him by the Mayor of Charleston :
'Charleston, January 16.
Hon. Carl Schurz, New York: It will
afford much pleasure to all of our citizens if
you will be the guest of the city of Charles
ton during your visit here. A suite of rooms
' will be arranged for you at the Charleston
Hotel. Wm. A. Courtenay, Mayor.
The Charleston News and Courier states
that no answer had been received up to a
late hour Friday night, but a favorable
response is anticipated. The Merchants
Exchange of Charleston will also extend
every courtesy to the distinguished states
man.
We understand that there will be a meet
ing held on Tuesday at noon by the German
citizens of Savannah to make arrangements
for the reception and entertainment of Mr.
Schurz during his stay here. The move
ment is eminently proper, but should not
be confined to our German fellow-citizens.
The community generally should take part
in any honor tendered this distinguished
statesman.
Plumbing and Gas Fitting.
The attention of our readers is called to
the advertisement elsewhere of Messrs.
Myer & O’Brien, plumbers, gas and steam
fitters, No. 46 Whitaker street. This young
firm are thoroughly experienced in their
bnsines o , and will give prompt attention to
all orders entrusted to them. If you wish
anything in their line give them a call.
A Work of Art.
As a Times reporter was meandering
down Bull street yesterday, he dropped into
the office of passenger agent J. C. Shaw, of
the Central Railroad, where he saw an oil
painting encased in a beautiful gilt frame.
It was a perfect likeness of Mr.
A. J. Miller, and had the artist
tried 40 years, he probably would not
have had any better success than he has
, already attained. The work is not only fine,
but it has a beautiful finished look about it
not attained by all artists. Mr. James B.
Fields is the artist who executed this piece
of work, and to him it does infinite credit
from a professional standpoint. Mr. Field is
from Atlanta, but has established a studio at
137 J Congress street, and will hereafter
make Savannah his home. Such talent as
he pcssrsses is deserving of support, and
that he will receive it, is only a matter of
a short lapse of time. He will always be
found ready to show visitors through his
studio, taking pains to make it so pleasant
that they will call again.
An Inspection and Drill.
Last Friday night the Savannah Cadets
underwent an inspection and drill, prepara
' tory to participating in the celebration of
Lee’s anniversary to morrow. The drill
■ took place at the Oglethorpe Barracks, and
was witnessed by a large number of specta-
. tors, a large proportion of whom were
young ladies. Although not an exhibition
■ drill, the Cadets seemed to be inspired with
the greatest amount of ambition, and tried
to out do all former occasions. It is safe
’ to say that the Cadets’ friends, of whom they
1 have many, wi.l blush with pride when
, they appear in uniform to morrow. Al
though a drenching rain came up before
, the drill was over, no one was heard to
complain, thinking it worth a wetting to
1 see the splendid evolutions of this crack
corps.
