riends, left for Savannah yesterday.”
—There is a town ordinance prohibiting
the running at large of goats, but it is vir
tually a dead letter. Yesterday morning
during services at the Independent Presby
terian Church, a lot of these pestersjme ani

a handsome camelia, and flower bushes to the
value of $l5O. Let the ordinance be enforced

A Flat Sunk at the Baltimore Wharf.
Last night one of the lighters which
have been employed in brining up freight
from the steamship William Lawrence,
which ran aground on the upper flats on
Saturday morning, sunk at the Baltimore
wharf with her load. The Lawrence arrived
on Saturday night and the force were em
ployed in discharging her. The lighter was
moored astern of the ste miship and during
the night was discovered sinking. The
men went promptly to work and succeeded
in removing a great deal of freight before
she went down. The lighter was loaded
with general merchandise and a lot of guano
in sacks, which latter went to the bottom.
Her loss will not be serious.
W. W. Smith’s Alleged Murderess.
Doll Floyd, the negro woman charged
with the murder of W. W. Smith, men'ion
ed in last week’s paper, was brought
to the city yesterday morning and incarcer
ated in the County Jail. A Times reporter
visited her and ascertained that she had
given a bond before Justice McLeod King,
but after mature consideration it was decid
ed to be a worthless one, and she was rear
rested and brought to jail. She states that
the amount of her bond has been reduced
from SI,OOO to SSOO, and that her brother
would make a good bond for her to-day.
She is a simple, in fact, silly negro, of about
forty years, and seems to have wasted away
on one side of the face and gained a pre
ponderance on the other. She positively
denies everything charged against her re
garding the death of Smith, and shows her
impatiecne of confinement as a child would.
She is too simple looking and harmless ap
parently to have committed the crime
charged to her and spoke of the dead man
as though he was her best friend.
Knights of Pythias Celebration.
The 19th February next will be the 251 h
anniversary of the organization in this
country of the Pythian Brotherhood, and
the occasion will be generally celebrated
throughout the country by the Lodges of
Knights of Pythias. The growth of the
Order has been remarkable. From a mem
bership of five, on February 19, 1864, it
now has 150,000 brave, gallant and true
men, with 316 divisons of the uniform rank,
and 617 sections of the endowment rank,
carrying an aggregate life insurance of over
forty-five millions of dollars.
In accordance with the desire of the
Supreme Chancellor of the Brotherhood, the
Grand Chancellor of Georgia, in a circular
order recommends and calls upon all the
Lodges in this Jurisdiction to assemble to
gether as a Lodge or Lodges, and have such
celebration as will fittingly commemorate
this important era in Pythian history, this
the twenty-first year of its birth. A gen
eral Dispensation is also granted to all
i Lodges in the State of Georgia to observe
k the 19th day of FEBRUARY, 1885, in a
F manner becoming the occasion.
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1885.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Two Tickets in the Field.
As intimated in the Daily Times yes
terday, an opposition to the regular Demo
cratic ticket nominated at the Theatre has
been developed, and another ticket will be
placed in the field to-morrow. This ticket
is brought out by the advocates of the Dis
trict system, of whom Dr. L. A. Falligant is
the recognized leader. A meeting of these
citizens was held yesterday, when arrange
ments were made to put forth another
tickets, and later this ticket was presented
at a meeting and endorsed. This ticket is
?s follows:
FOR MAYOR/
RUFUS E. LESTER.
FOR ALDERMEN,
First District E. J. Kieffer, G. W- Al
len.
Second District—M. A. Cohen, J. R. Ham
let.
Third District—L A. Falligant, C. E.
Wakefield.
Fourth District—John Schwarz, W. F.
Reid.
City at large—Herman Myers, George A.
Hudson, D. R. Thomas, William Duncan
Three of the gentlemen named above have
as will be seen by announcement in another
column, declined to accept the nominations.
The Citizens party, it appears, are dissatis
fied with the manner in which the commit
tee of twenty-five made the nominations.
It will be seen that four of the names on the
regular ticket are also on the ticket adopted
by the citizens. There are now acceptable
men on both tickets, and the indications
point to a lively contest to-morrow.
WHAT DR. FALLIGANT SAYS.
A Times reporter called on Dr. L. A.
Falligant at his office this morning to learn
if there was anything new in regard to the
ticket put in the field yesterday, and which
was talked of freely on the streets to-day.
Dr. Falligant, in reply to a question, stated
that he was not present at the meeting last
evening, which, however, was well attended,
he was informed. It was held at St. An
drew’s Hall. He was aware that the hold
ing of a political meeting on the Sabbath
was sure of more or less condemnation on
the part of the citizens ot Savannah, and
when a party of gentlemen came and asked
his advice on the subject he advocated a
postponement until to-day. The meeting,
however, was held yesterday, because a large
number of those interested believed that the
committee of twenty-five had arranged
their last meeting on Saturday, so as to
give the opposers of their choice, should
there be any, only a Sunday and a holiday
upon which to get together and prepare a
ticket. It was a sharp piece of work, but it
failed of its mark.
“As to the use of my name as an Aider
men, I knew nothing about it until to-day.
But since it has been placed on this ticket,
I shall remain quiescent in the matter.
Seme may stricture me for this act, owing
to the fact that I was on the committee of
twenty-five which made the first ticket up.
i But in view of the treatment received at
, the hands of that body, Ido not feel that I
am bound to sustain their choice.”
“What treatment do you refer to ?”
“I mean to say that I was invited there
' to be the recipient of a premeditated insult,
an insult offered through a personal friend
' who was only a tool in the hands of those
who were too cowardly to offer it personally.
I refer to the resolution offered that no one
of the committee be allowed to offer the
name of any other of the ccmmittee as a
candidate for Aldermanic honors. I make
the assertion that this was a cut and dried
insult intended for me, and can substantiate
what I say.”
“Well, what in your opinion, is the cause
of this new ticket ?”
“It is a struggle to break up this registry
business, which is a bore to the city of Sa
vannah and a machine of great power
wielded in favor of a few. This is one of the
most tyrannical laws ever a city was ham
pered with, and the popular vo’ce of the
’ c tyisin favor of its abolition. As it now
. stands registration is made a means of keep
ing a great many people from registering
. and paying taxes. For instance, the Regis
tec’s offices are changed around each year
, from one out of the way place to some other
place still more inaccessible. Then tie
hours of registering are placed beyond the
reach of the laboring man, unless he can
lose half a day from his work. Not only
does it prevent the majority of laboring men
from registering, but a large proportion of
the clerical force of the city cannot leave
their business during the hours prescribed
■ by law. And it is a noticeable fact that not
. one man in ten knows where to go to regis
ter, and sued a thing as a public notice is
not to be seen. It may be published once
. in a great while, but the most out of the
way place ,in a newspaper is where it is
placed.”
I understand that a number of those
I nominated have refused to allow the use of
. their names on the Democratic District
Ticket? 'What do you suppose will be the
result of this?
“That I can’t say, as I had nothing what
ever to do with it from the beginning.
However, there is a strong feeling among a
large class of the people of Savannah on
this subject, and they will make their voice
felt to-morrow. It may not be that they will
be successful this time, but eventually suc
. cess will attend their efforts. I
know that there is much adverse
criticism regarding my own actions, but
for that Ido not care a snap. Any reformer
is generally credited with being a crank
until he has carried his point, as history
1 shows, and I am careless of the estimation
’ in which I am held on this point, so long
I as I succeed in the measure which I have
[ undettaken. I believe it a good one, and I
. shall keep ‘pegging’ away at it until it is a
1 reality. . lam not one to give up a project
1 easily, I assure you, and this is a scheme
which 1 will do all I can to further, except
give up my Democracy.”
Canvassing the matter on the streets this
morning, a Times reporter was able to see
that the new ticket had a much larger fol
. lowing than was supposed, and it has been
even predicted that it would cause a split
. ticket to go in. The promoters of the
, ticket are out at work, and will leave noth
. ing undone to further its success to-morrow.
We learn with regret that Miss Nan
nie McCleskey, so well and favorably
i known in musical circles, and who was in
s vited to sing in the “Pirates ot Penzance,”
- has been suffering from a severe throat
1 trouble, and has been ordered by her phy
s sician, Dr. Charlton, to discontinue singing,
i By his advice she will leave the city shortly
to spend some time in Florida-
A CORRECTION.
Colonel Nicholls ami the United States
J udgeship.
House of Representatives, U.S. \
Washington, D. C., Jan. 17,1885. J
Editor Savannah Daily Times—My
attention was called on yesterday to the pub
lication in the Times, a few days since, of
an interview had by your Washington cor
respondent with me in reference to the
Circuit Judgeship for the Southern district
of Georgia. Your correspondent is mistaken
in my having said that I had talked with the
President on t'is subject. I have not seen
the President during this session of Con
gress, except on New Y’ears day, when I
attended his reception and met him per
sonally. I did say to your correspondent
that I had reliable information that the
President would not appoint a Democrat;
that in no event would Mr. Farrow receive
the appointment, and that the contest had
narrowed down to Goodyear and Cunning
ham. Ido not believe that your corres
pondent intended to misrepresent; he simply
misunderstood me.
Very respectfully, John C. Nicholls.
River and Harbor Improvements.
Gen. Quincy A. Gilmore of the United
States Army, arrived from New York on
the steamer Tallahassee. He took break
fast at the Pulaski House, and immediately
left on a tour of inspection on the Savannah
river. A Times reporter met him just be
fore he left, and was told that the cross
ides would be visited and all points under
improvement to Fort Pulaski. The Gen- !
eral will spend the day on the river and in- |
tends taking the boat for Fernandina this
afternoon, where he will inspect the work
there. Returning here he will proceed to
Brunswick, and make an inspection there,
also. In answer to questions propounded,
the General said he could say nothing at
present, but on his return to the city, he
would give an outline cf the work accom
plished on the river.
Mr. John Gaynor, contractor of the jetty |
improvement, informs the Times that his j
work is going on rapidly. When the dredge
being built at Washington is brought down,
that portion of the work will proceed with
much rapidity since the proposed new boat
will be five times more expeditious than
any ever here before.
—W. S. Cherry & Co. will have a superior
lot of Northern beefat their stalls to morrow. ,

Savannah, Ga„ Jan. 19,1885.
Editor Daily Times : I notice by the
Morning News of to-day that I was nominated
; as a candidate for Aiderman on the Citizens’
j Democratic District Ticket. I was surprised
and avail myself of the first opportunity to
' decline the nomination, and state that 1
would not accept under any circumstances.
At the meeting held last week in the Fourth
district, I acted as Chairman. Aiderman P. J.
O’Connor and Major John Schwarz were en
dorsed by a flattering vote as the choice oi
t hat district. As tiie people there have en
dorsed Aiderman P. J. O’Connor, who made
an efficient and faithful pub|ic servant, then
1 I submit in all justice and fairness that my
name should lie striken from tiie Citizens’
i Ticket, if one is to be run, and in lieu thereof
should be placed the name oi Aiderman P..J.
O'Connor, the choice of tiie people of our dis
' trict. I state emphatically that lam not a

• cept the office if elected.
