Dredgiug to Commence Soon.
Owing to a break-down in some part of
the machinery of the Fernandina boat,
General Quincy A. Gillmore did not leave
the city yesterday, as ln» expected. A re
porter met him in the Pulaski House this
morning, and was informed that a visit had
been made to the jetties yesterday, but the
cross tides had not been seen. He will
probably see them to-day. The jetties,
which are built by Contractor John Gay
nor, are rapidly deepening the channel and
doing the work intend d for them perfectly.
General Gillmore sa d that they would in
time deepen the c lannel as much as is
needed without the assistance of a dredge.
Some lime next we*k the work of dredging
will be commenced by Mr. Jacob Paulsen
and carried on vigorously at those points
where this work is most needed. General
Gillmore leaves by rail for Fernandina this
afternoon.
Forty-Five Mlles an Hour.
The Charleston News and Courier says
that the fast mail train on the Charleston
and Savannah Railway made the run Mon
day from Ash’ey River Junction to Savan
nah, a distance of 108 miles, in 2 hours and
40 minutes. The train was drawn by engine
No. 15, which was driven by engineer W.
Hall,one of the best runners on the road
During the run the train made six stops at
railroad crossings, two stops for wood, and
reduced its speed to the rate of four miles
an hour while crossing five draw bridges.
The actual running time of the train was
45 miles an hour and the trip was made
with safety. The Charleston and Savannah
Railway is now in excellent condition, and
in all of its appointments is one of the best
roads in the South.

THE DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1885
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.
Th;, Times Keeping Up With th, Proces
sian—A Complete Afternoon Paper.
As briefly announced in yesterday s issue,
the Times has taken another step forward
in the path of progressive j mrnalism. The
paper now comes to its readers each evening
as a complete eight-paged afternoon paper,
pasted, neatly folded and with edges cut so
that it may be read as conveniently as a
book. Thus, although the Times, under
its present management, is only two years
old, it has done more in the way of journal
istic enterprise than any paper which has
ever existed in Savannah. Wedo not say this
boastfully, but because it is the simple truth,
and must be admitted by all the many read
ers of the paper. What the Times has
done in the past, however, is only the har
binger of what it will do in the future.
It realizes its obligations to the public, and
will make every endeavor to meet them.
The machine which does the cutting,
pasting and folding of the Times,
is known as the “Brown Fold
er.” It was made by the Brown
Fold'Uj Machine Company, of Erie,
Pennsylvania, and is one of the most com
plete pieces of mechanism in the world. It
is so simple that a boy can manage it, and
yet it will easily paste, cut and fold 3,600
eight page papers an hour. It arrived at
the Times office yesterday morning, and
was immediately placed in position by Mr.
R. T. Brown, of Erie, Pennsylvania, a
' skilled workman, who came on here for the
purpose. It was running nicely and easily
in time for the regular issue of the paper
which was out on time, not
only cut and pasted, but folded far more
rapidly and neatly thin could be done by
hand.
This Company have three folders on ex
hibition at the New Orleans Exposition,
and wherever they have been tried they
have given perfect satisfaction. They are very
popular in New York, Pennsylvania and
other States, though this is the only machine
of the kind in use in this vicinity. We can
cheerfully recommend it to those of our
contemporaries who, like the Times, are
determined to place themselves abreast of
the leading papers of the United States.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Proceeding Quietly—The Regular Demo
cratic Ticket Probably Successful.
■
This morning at 7 o’clock, the polls
opened at the Court House for the purpose
of deciding the election of the Mayor and
Aidermen for the next term. A very small
crowd of propably not more than 100 peo
ple were assembled around the polls, and at
no time did there seem to be a rush. The
boxes were arranged in the following man
ner and managed by the following gentle
men :
Box No. 1, First district: Facing Bull
street, Martin Cooley, Richard Kirkland, E.
Sanberg.
Box N 0.2,.2, Second district: Facing Pres
dent street, John Rutherford, Andrew Go
eber and M. J. Solomons.
Box No. 3, Third district: Facing York
street, R M. Demere, D. B. I’u 1 and E M.
Anderson.
Box No. 4, Fourth district: Facing Dray
ton street, Philip M. Box, M. He.mkcn md
J. Leonard.
A special detachment of police were on
band at the beginning ot the polling, but it
was evident that their presence would be
' more in the way of ornament than useful
ness in making arrests, for the election be
gan very quietly, and no excitement was
raised during the day or up to the close of
this report. At 9 o’clock it was estimated
hat fully 200 votes had been cast, but no
m rj, showing that the rush did not come up
co the expectations of many. There were
' few tickets on the ground, the majority of
. chem being the Citizens’ Regular Ticket, as
. it is called. A reporter of the Times ob
served that this ticket was being almost
exclusively voted in the early part of the
lay. The Democratic District Ticket bears
the following names not on the regular
■ Democratic ticket, the names of some one
of the regular nominees being stricken to
make room for the substitutes : L A
Falligant, Chas. E. Wakefield, Herman
Myers, (spelled incorrectly), George A
Hudson, John Schwarz, (declined), Wm. F.
Reid, (declined), E. J. Kieffer, G. W. Allen,
md M. A. Cohen ( leclined). The crowd
began to increase about 11 o’clock, and at 2
to-dav, 200 or 300 people were congregated
around the Court House. No record is kept
if the number of v>>tes cast, but it it
■stimated that 800 to 900 had been polled,
by 2 o’clock. Guessers say that four
fifths of this number are for the straight
nominees.
At the close of this report no difficulty of
any sort whatever had occurred, and there
was not the slightest complaint of fraud
having been attempted.
Cornered, Crowded and Captured.
Last night a party of about fifty ladies and
gentlemen belonging to Savannah Lodge
No. 500, I. O. G. T., and Thomas W. Keene
Dramatic Association called at Colonel F.
Eugene Durbec’s imitation brick front new
house on Gwinnett street, and complete
ly surprised him. The party took
charge of the house, placed the
Colonel i nder arrest, as it were,
and had him girded by a committeee of
ladies while the men busied themselves by
lighting up the house, making fires, clear
ing out the furniture, etc. The party had
chartered cars and brought a string band
with them; dancing imedia ely commenced.
When everything was well under way, Mr.
Charles D. Russell, in behalf of the visitors,
presented Colonel Durbec with a magnifi
cent silver tilting pitcher, over 20 inches in
height, beautifully ornamented, with
goblets to match, bearing the
following inscription on one side:
“Presented to F Eugene Durbec.” On the
other: “From the d-araatic talent of Savan
nah Lodge, I. O. G. T., and Thos. W.
Keene Dramatic Association.”
Mr. Durbec replied in his usual off-hand
convivial style- Dancing was then resumed
and continued until 1:30 a. m., when the
cars were in readiness to convey the merry
party to their homes.

Key West, which has a population of
15,000, is one of the most peculiar cities in
ihe world. It has no chimneys, no show
windows, no bri'-k blocks, no fine buildings,
no planing mills, no steam mills, no ma
chine shops, no farmers driving in with ,
loaded teams, no country roads, no railro ids, I
no rattle of machinery, no noise of any kind, j
except the beating of the waves against the
coral-bound shore, and yet, for its size, does
a very large manufacturing and shippping
business.
