NOTES ABOUT TOWN.
Happening, Here, There and Everywhere.
—Architect J. A. Wood, of New York, is
a guest of the Pulaski House.
—Henry Lacy and wife, of the “Planter’s
Wife,” Judge Bingham and A.Boody ofNew
York, are at the Pulaski House.
—Company B, Savannah Volunteer
Guards will have a ball at Masonic Te mple
to-morrow (Tuesday) evening. It will be a
pleasant affair.
—Lee Platehek has been recently pro
moted from lithographer of the Theater to
bill poster. He posted Aimee last week in
a very artistic manner.
—“Angie,” “too young to have beaux,” in
“The Planter’s Wife,” will be ably repre
sented by Miss Kate Hawthorn, a young
society lady of New England, who has made
rapid strides to the front rank of her profes
sion as a soubrette.
—Fred. Sabi an was arrested at the Ocean
Steamship Company’s wharf yesterday be
cause he tried to demolish the anatomy of
Amos 'Wright, another colored person. He
was fined $5 in the Police Court this morn
ing.
—Ten cases were tried in the Police
Court this morning. Scipio Green, who
stole a pair of pants Saturday night and re
sisted the arresting officer, trying to cut his
throat with a knife, was turned over to the
Superior Court.
—Attention is directed to the advertise
ment elsewhere of the opening of the new
drug store of Dr. E. Abbott, corner Hall
and Price streets. It is an admirable ac
quisition to the neighborhood and is one of
the handsomest stores in the vicinsty.
—The little baby deserted by its mother
some time since, is still unadopted. It is a
beautiful, refined little thing, healthy and
bright, and any family who want to adopt a
baby, could not do better than to apply at
the barracks for information regarding this
little waif.
—The announcement that Mr. Ramon
Salas had left Saturday for New Orlear.s,
was a mistake, the result of a misunder
standing. He remains at his post with
Messrs. Charles Green’s Son & Co. It was
Mrs, Salas and her sister who left for the
Crescent City
—Macon Telegraph: “Tuesday evening
Mr. George W. Peck, of Peck’s Sun, and the
author of Peck’s Bad Boy, will arrive in the
city, and be the guest of the Macon Volun
teers. He is an ex-Lieutenant of the Mil
waukee Light Horse Guards, and assisted in
en ertaining the Macon boys when they
visited Milwaukee.
—The through fast mail train from New
York to Jacksonville was about four hours
late this morning- Passenger No. 48 was
also late. The constant rainfall for the past
several weeks has been anything but an
improvement to the tracks of all the roads,
and the roadway departments have all they
can do to keep the tracks in passable condi
tion.
—On Saturday night near Waycross,on the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway,
there occurred a slight accident. A fast
freight was following close behind the pas
senger train, and by some means the latter
named train was run into and telescoped by
the freight. The engineers of the freight
took a header from his engine and was
slightly hurt, though he was at first thought
to be seriously wounded. No one else was
injured and the injury done the train was
infinitessimally small. Only a slight delay
was the result.
—The number ot tourists passing through
the city for Florida, after a stop of a day or
two here, is increasing rapidly, and in con
sequence the proprietors of the various ho
tels are happy and smiling. Nevertheless
the travel is not so large as it was thfe same
time last year. This is accounted for by the
fact that there are a great many people who
contemplate visiting the Naw Orleans Ex
position later in the season. Many of these
also wish to spend a short season in Florida,
and prefer to make the entire trip at once,
going to New Orleans first and then to Flor
ida. It is expected that the numbers stop
ping here later in the season, en route home
from Florida, will be much greater than
those passing through forjFlorida. ■
—The case of Mr. Chas. A. H. tlmbach,
charged with interfering with the Chief of
the Fire Department in the discharge of
his duties on Sunday morning, at the fire
on Broughton street, was continued. Mr.
Umbach says he was in the saloon of Weh
renberg and found a lot of fellows making
way with the goods, and, thinking it bad
enough to be burned out without being rob
bed, he attempted to clear the place of the
crowd, lie made a mistake and collared-
Chief Fernandez who was passing through
to the rear of the building to give some
orders, and called him a thief, fl He
did not know he was the Chief of the de
partment and says the observation was of
general application. Had the Chief been
known to him Mr. Umbach
would not have molested him. He did not
intend to do anything wrong, but Was trying
to save the property of a friend from
spoliation. The case was continued until
to-morrow morning.
I'urim Masquerade Ball.
The annual celebration ot the delivery of
the Jews from Haman will take place here
on Monday, March 2d, at the Masonic Tem
ple, and will be one of the grandest masque
rades of the season. Those who are so for
tunate as to be among the invited guestswill
no doubt avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded of participating in one of the events
of the season among the Israelitish portion
of the community.
Curiosities of our Artesian Well.
As our artesian well auger bores deeper
and deeper into the bowels of the earth, it
constantly brings new curiosities to light.
Allusion has already been made to the gold
mines through which it has lately passed,
and this morning Mr. Mulligan brought to
the Times office some curiosities in the way
of a shark’s tooth and pieces of flint brought
up from a depth of 167 feet, and a specimen
of hard, sticky, black clay, found on Satur
day at a depth of 187 feet, encrusted with
little crystal pebbles which shine in the
light like diamonds. It may be expected
that the next report will be, that oil has
been struck, and so, even if he fails to get
water, ’Capt. Purse can console himself with
the reflection that he owns a gold mine,
a diamond field, a bed of phosphate deposits
and an oil well.

THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1885.
Marriage at the CUthedral.
This morning at half-past six o’clock a
large number of friends and acquaintances
assembled at the Cathedral to witness the
solemization of the nuptial vows of Mr.
Thomas Nugent and Miss Nellie C. Roe.
. Shortly before the hour mentioned, the
bridal party reached the Cathedral and
, every head was turned to catch a glimpse of
the bride and groom as they entered with
their atl endants, Mr. Terrence Nugent, a
brother of the groom, and Miss M. Whitty,
a relative of the bride. The party made a
very handsome appearance as they moved
up the broad aisle amidst the sounds of the
wedding march played by Professor Leo W.
Mehrtens. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Father McCarthy according to the
rites of the church, and was very beautiful
and impressive. After the ceremony the
couple had the congratulations of many
sincere friends. The groom is a very de
serving and worthy young man, who, by his
courteous manners, industry and attention
to business, has earned an enviable reputa
tion among all who know him. His good
fortune in securing an accomplished, amia
ble and estimable young lady as his partner
in the journey of life is greeted with satis
faction by his many friends, who tender him
and his charming young bride best wishes
for a matrimonial career brightened by the
sunshine of prosperity and happiness. The
young couple left on the 7 o’clock train on
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way for New Orleans, and will enjoy the
sights at the Exposition and the Carnival.
They were accompanied to the depot by
a number of friends who bade them God
speed on their journey, a delightful visit
and safe return home.
The Post mastership.
A Times reporter called on Col. A. N.
Wilson, the newly appointed Postmaster,
this morning, and attempted to have a short
talk with him. He, however, was not in a
good humor apparently, and said he did not
care to have anything to say to the Times,
as it had, so he understood, rasped him
severely while he was in Washington. As
to his bond, he would say nothing, nor would
he say when he would take charge of the
office. He might not remain in office longer
than a month, or might remain in office
three months. He would not feel much
hurt if he was turned out of office. He had
been turned out by the Republican party,
and could stand to be ousted by the Demo
crats. He was* aware that there was a
“hungry crowd who would snap up the
first opportunity to have his political head
taken off,” and as the Pcstoffice was a big
machine, the working of which he was not
at all familiar with, he was apt to make
some slight erro'S in the beginning of h-s
career, and no doubt would be made to suffer
the penalty of losing the office. It is evi
dent that the new Postmaster is not reposing
on a bed of roses, politically speaking.
A Book Thief.
Mr. Willie Wheeler, salesman at Estell’s
Bcok and News Depot, informed a Times
reporter this morning that a young fellow,
whose name will not be given on account of
his youth, came into the store and after
lounging about the place for some time,
hovering around the dime and five cent
novel counter he snatched up as many as he
could and made off. Mr. Wheeler saw the
act and immediately gave chase, but did not
succeed in catching the thief as he ran
through several ponds of water with which j
the streets abound at present and escaped '
d wa St. Julian street, going toward the ,
Old Fort- The young man’s name is known I
to the proprietor as well as that of his step
father, and he will find it to his interest to
call at the news depot and pay for the “pur
chase” which he made in such an irregular
manner.
The Planter’s Wife.
Concerning the Company which appeals
at the Theatre to-night, the Atlanta Journal
says:
“The Harry Lacy Combination could not
have chosen a night when other attractions
would serve to diminish his audience than
on Friday’s matinee and night. There was.
however, a very good company present, and j
everybody was delighted with the play,
some going so far to say that it was one
of the very best of the season. As '0 the
actors, we will not attempt a specific and
individual description, but will simply re
nark that the leading roles were well taken.
Mr. Lacy, the ‘Southern Planter,’ and Miss
Edna Carey, as ‘Edith,’ were superb, ind
pleased the audience immensely. Os the
personnel of the troupe much might be said.
The ladies are all pretty and charming in
private life, while the men are each perfect I
gentlemen. The troupe made a good repu
tation and will be strongly welcomed when
ever they visit the city again.”

Office City' Treasurer, )
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 31, 1885. j
In framing the Tax Ordinance for the year
1885, it was the intention of Council not to
allow the discount often per cent, for prompt
payment of SPECIFIC TAXES, after the 31st
of January, but inasmuch as the language
used therein authorizes the Treasurer to
allow the discount, if payment is made with
in thirty days after that date, notice is here
by given that the time tor allowing the dis
count of ten per cent on Specific Taxes of all
kinds, including Liquor Licenses, Badges,
etc., will not expire until the second (2d) day
of March next. C. S. HARDEE,
