CANN ENGINEERED IT.
Mr. A-.derson, in opening the meeting, said
that there had been two gentlemen named
for chairman at the adjourned meeting—Hon.
F. G. dußignon and V/. G. Cann. One of
them, he said, Mr. dußignon, had been called
away from the city, which left Mr. Cann with
out opposition. He then asked if there were
any other nominations, and L. A. Fal'.igant
was put up by some one during the cheering
of the Tammany club at the mention of Mr.
Cann’s name. Tammany wanted to elect
Mr. Cann, but that gentleman placed
Mr. J. Randolph Anderson in nomin
ation, and while it met with opposition, Mr.
Anderson declared himself elected for obvious
reasons.
The meeting had been called, Mr. Ander
son said, for the purpose of holding an
election, but in view of the fact that a com
mittee of gentlemen, representing both sides
had reached an agreement by which harmony
in party ranks could be restored, he thought
it would be well to know what the agree
ment was, and asked if it was the pleasure of
the meeting to have the gentlemen make their
report. A storm of applause went up, after
which there was not a dissenting voice against
the conference submitting its report. Mr.
Cann, after Chairman Anderson announced
Wbe Wails Wwpatcb.
that the next business was the election of a
secretary, placed Mi. A. Guckenheimer in
nomination, and he was elected.
THE RESOLUTION APPLAUDED.
Mr. Cann supplemented the reading of the
resolution with a few remarks. "The situa
tion that has confronted the democratic party
for the past two wccks, in fact, 1 may say, for
the past two months (a voice, yes, and for the
past four years), has been a most serious one,
and in order to bring about harmony, the
gentlemen who are with you have held a con
ference and come to an understanding.”
He then proceeded to read the report,which
was done in his usual clear, forcible and
business-like manner. After Mr. Cann had
finished reading the resolution, cheer after
cheer went up, as the gentleman expressed
himself as favoring an honest election, pure
ballot and fair count.
WHITE-WINGED PEACE.
At the conclusion of the reading of the ,
resolution Chairman Anderson wanted to 1
know the pleasure of the meeting in regard <
to the resolution. A motion was put to ,
adopt it, but Mr. Arthur Weil, desired to j
know if the Tammany and 150 Club was one
faction and the Citizens' Club the other. !
Mr. Cann replied that the conference com- I
mittee held that there was • nlv two factions |
in the fight, after which Maj. Ryals seconded
the motion and made a short speech The .
report of the conference committee was then
accepted without a dissenting voice.
BOTH SIDES WERE READY. ,
The followers of Tammany and the Citi- I
zens' Club were there in force, ready and i
eager for the fray, and neither calculated to ■
have their trophies sullied in the least. Both
sides had tellers at the door who did thetr
work in a quiet, yet thorough manner. But .
few men were questioned as to their right of j
admittance. When Mr. Herman Myers
entered, which was about ten minutes before •
the meeting was called to order, he was ,
given a long round of applause as he took
his scat on the Citizens' Club side. Mr. ,
Cann was also given an ovation when he
entered and took his seat with the tigers.
A conservative estimate of the meeting
The Daily Dispatch thinks would be 750, of
which each side seemed to have
an equal number and if there was a difference
it was slightly in favor of the Citizens’ Club
people.
Mr. (aim Answered.
Editor Daily Disfulcb: Referring to Hie
card of Mr. Cann and others in yesterday's
issue of the Press, I beg to say that I never
understood at any time that the conference
was a closed one. My impression was that it
was a gathering from all thepolitic.il elements,
with a view of harmonizing all political in
terests by providing for primary elections. I
ascertained that the Railroad Club was not
represented, as they had all the time been
allied with us I saw no reason why we should
have a conference without al least giving
;VL ilmfeMjulo what was going on. I
brought
our side. I never at anytime understood that
I had to consult with the other side as to who
should represent us. My sole desire was to
present to the meeting pe >ple who could
make the primary a go.
The objection to these gentlemen seems
particularly strange in view of the fact that
at the first conference a gentlemen was
present who was not included in the original
call.
If the other side had had an element
unrepresented and at any subsequent meet
ing brought in other representation
with the statement that it would assist in the
effort to solve the problem lam sure our
people would have gladly welcome them.
I make this statement in justice tothe
gentlemen excluded; they were without fault
in the matter. They were there at my invi
tation, and 1 considered at that time, and
still consider, that I had a perfect right to in
vite them. Respectfully,
W. W. Osborne.

IT IS PESTILENTIAL.
THE FOUL FLOW OF FILTHY BILBO
SHOULD BE COVERED UP.
Ten Thousand Water Closets Feed Its
Open Channel With the Fever Germs
of Plague, Pestilence and Death—lts
Flood Gates Impede the Progress of
the Sewage to the Point of Discharge.
The People Demand Relief, and No
More Delay.
The position of The Daily Dispatch in urg
ing prompt action for relief from the dangers
of Bilbo canal has awakened a sentiment of
general approbation, and tlifcre is a demand
that the city should not be subjected another
summer and fall t j this dangerous open sewer,
that carries on its bosom and lodges on its
banks the seeds of pestilence and death.
Bilbo canal between Gwinnett street bridge
and the Standard Oil Company’s property,
combination flood-gates cut oil and confine
the sewage flow to the river from nine-tenths
of the city, and exposes for hours, between
tides, to our broiling suns of summer, a seeth
ing mass of conupting filth, impregnating the
air we breathe with its poisonous gases.
PESTILENCE BREEDING.
These exhalations arc such as are likely at
any time to bring pestilence or plague upon
the city. The astute conceiver of this flood
gate abomination must have lost sight of the
fact that he was penning up and exposing to
the fervid heat of a semi-tropical summer sun
for hours the accumulated discharge of 10,000
water closets in“his zeal to provide tor a head
of filth to scour filth out of a filthier canal. It
is one ot those instances where the remedy is
worse than the disease.
In two or three instances within a year
when storm water from heavy rains and from
overflowing privies in that neighborhood,
found their way to the open canal, these
flood-gate were either closed or inadequate to
pass the combined rush of storm water and
filth through the gates and tor days after the
adjacent lands on both sides showed crusts
of dried filth and mud upon which the sun
had had full play until the combination
baked and crumbled into dust, fill' of germ
life that was scattered by the winds over the
entile city.
Tin; FLOOD GATES SHOULD GO.
The stench arising from these overflows was
unbearable. This flood-gate abortion should
go at once. It does not free the canal from
the deposit of filth as was calculated and the
city has no right to accumulate this filth
under our blazing summer sun for flushing
purple,, It is L’etter to let the
filthy stream of filth wind ils slii pT.'tf'rnui.’e"
to the river in a natural way (han to attempt
to keen it back to drive more filth out by
such super-scientific insanity.
NO OPEN SEWER SHOULD BE TOLERATED
There is but one solution of the foul and
loathsome situation. Il should be closed up,
and then it may be banked up and flushed at
pleasure. Then Hie sun’s lays will not beat
upon it; then ils stench will not be swept
into the city by every wind; then it will not
overflow and sprea 1 its tottening sewage upon
the low lands, nor be lodged in the vegeta
tion that skiits its banks; then ils polluted
waters will not furnish drink for the milch
cows to poison infants who are fed the
germ infected milk. It is a crime to continue
t, and if the city council will not afford
relief, it is the sentiment of many that the
courts should be appealed to to compel Hie
authorities to make Bilbo canal a closed sewer.
WORLD’S OUTPUT OF GOLD
t.rriiler In ISBIt Than in Any bin- Hcrortled In
History.
Washington, June 10—[By Post il Co.]—
Mint Director Preston has transmitted to
Congress an important statement of the gold
and silver output of the United St ites and
other countries. He estimates the approxi
mate gold yield of the United States in 1893
at 1,739,323 fine ounces, valued at $35,955,-
I 000, as compared with 1,597,100 fme ounces,
valued al $33,014,981 in 1892.
The United States still holds the first place
in the gold-producing countries of the world.
Mr. Preiton revises the estimated production
of silver in the United States in 1892, as
stated bv E. O. Leech, his predecessor. Mr.
Leech placed the production at 58,000.000
ounces, of the coinage value of 874,989,900.
Mr. Preston shows that the output was 63,-
500,000 fine ounces, of the coinage value of
$82,101,110.
The world’s production of gold in 1893 is
estimated at $155,521,700, showing an in
crease over 1892 of $9,224,100.
The world’s silver output of 1893 was
$907,895,400, an increase over that of 181)2 of
$10,664,900.
Facts brought to light in the report show
that the world’s output of gold in 1393 is the
largest in history, and that the value of the
gold alone available in 1893 for monetary pur
poses was greater than the total value of both
gold and silver available for monetary pur
| poses in the years just preceding tjm beginning
of the depreciation of silver.

• SIMON PLEADS GUILTY.
i
LILLEY FOX, THE WOMAN IN THE
CASE, IS DISCHARGED.
Simon Sentenced SIOO or Six Months ,
in Jail—He Had no Attorney, While
Lilley was More Fortunate—Will He
Work on the Chain-gang?
Frank Simon, the young man who was 1
arrested by Detective Wetherhorn on Wed
nesday, after which the goods of the Ma
hometan. peddler, stolen from Lilley Fox’s
house on Price stree some time ago,
found in the express office, was placed on
trial in the city court this morning. Much
to the surprise of the large audience that
were in attendance to hear the case Simon |
plead guilty, throwing himself on the mercy
of the court. 1
SIX MONTHS OR SIOO. <
Simon was not represented by counsel, in '
which event his fate might have been better, !
in that a good technical point could have ■
been raised, as the peddler who was robbed 1
was not present. The mere fact, howevet, 1
that pawn tickets his person, '
after which the stolen goods were found in I
the exptbss office,where he had brought them 1
with the' intention of shipping" them to '
Charleston, was ample evidence against him 1
Judge MacDonell sentenced him to pay a fine 1
of SIOO or serve six months on the chain- I
gang. i
LILLEY FOX FREE
Lilley Fox, in whose house the larceny '
was committed, but who has made numerous
piGjestations of innocence, was to have
been tried to-day. After Simon had plead
guilty there was nothing to connect Lilley
with the larceny except, perhaps, that the
theft occurred in her house. This was not
enough to convict her on. and Solicitor
General Fraser discharged her. So much for
being a woman—for keeping a shut mouth.

Information comes from Tallahassee that
the supreme court of Florida is now reviewing
the injunction which judge Call granted the
Duval Athletic Club in January last, restrain
ing the sheriff from interfering with the
i Corbett-Mitchell prize fight, it is understood
that Gov. Mitchell is behind the case, as he is
convinced that Judge Call’s decision is con
trary to law, and he wants the supreme
court to finally pass upon the legality ot prize
lighting in Florida. It is understood that the
’ governor wants the question speedily decided
in view of tlie newspaper reports that a club
is arranging to pull off another mill in Jack
sonville.
It is the general opinion that the supreme
court will overrule Judge Call’s ruling in re
gard to prize tights; but even should he be
■ sustained in his contention that prize fights
, are not violative of Florida laws, it is said
that Gov. Mitchell will convene the legisla
ture in extra session and procure the passage
1 of an anti-prize light law rather than allow
another mill to be pulled olf in Florida. It
ntav be safely asserted that Florida has had
its first and last prize fight.

tent to Murder-No Sympathy for
the Brutal Attack on the Policeman.
Tom Fogarty and Mike Drewery,who mur
derously assaulted Policeman Haines on the
night of June 2, in Robertsville, were dealt*
justice with a vengeance in the recorder’s
court this morning.
Fogarty and Drewery were each fine! >IOO
or 30 -days at labor, and in addition were
turned over to tlie superior court on a charge
of assault witli intent to murder.
In tlie case of Pat Lynch, Recorder Wilson
said that he was not positive that Lynch did
not assault the officer, but as there was no
evidence to show that he did and the officer
could not tell, he would give him the doubt
and fined him $lO or 20 days for resisting and
obstructing an officer in discharge of duty.
From the evidence that was given the as
sault was one of the most unprovoked and
cowardly that has ever been committed on an
officer in the city.
HAINES’ STORY.
Officer Haines testilied.that while standing
on his post at Wilson street a negro came
up to him and told him that lie had better
go down the street and stop a crowd of
young men from interfering with passersby
or there would be serious trouble. The
officer started down the street when Some
one yelled: “Here comes a policeman,” and
one of the three men said, “the with
him.” When the officer got up
to the youiig men he told them that they
would have to move on. Lynch and Drewery
started, but Fogarty, who was a little under'
the influence ot liquor, defied any attempt to
move him.
Officer Haines said he caught hold of
Fogarty for tile purpose of arresting him and
shoved him up against thc.honsej but Fogarty
managed to get away from him’ and leaped
over the baluster of Mrs. Flannigan’s stoop
and went into her house.
TRIED TO HIT FOGARTY.
As Fogarty leaped the balusters Officer
Haines said that he struck at him with his
club, but does not know whether he hit
him oi not, but Mrs. Flannigan claimed that
she had been hit. Lynch came up and said:
: “ You arrest a man tor little in this
town.” The officer then put Lynch under
arrest and started to carry him across ■he
street Fogarty and Drewery then came up
and the officer turned Lynch loose and
grabbed Fogarty. They clinched and fell to
the ground. Officer Haines on top, but
: Fogarty managed to roll Haines over and
then sat on top of him
Officer Haines said that then he heard
Drewry say : “ Let’s kill the ,”
and some one hit him and he lost conscious
ness
Elh Moure testified that while the officer
■ was on the ground one of the men kicked
: him, wrenched his club out of his hand and
• beat him on the head.
Mrs. Duggers testified that the officer did
, not draw his club or hit the men; if he did,
■ she did not see it done
PUT IT ON DREWERY.
I Silas Williams testified that the officer
- caught Fogarty by the collar and shoved him
- up against the house and Fogarty told him he
■ would not go with him without he told him
what he was arrested for. Then Fogarty got
away and went in the house, and when he
saw him again be was on the ground on top
-of the officer. Drewery wrenched the
I the officer’s hand and hit him in the head
> with it several times Silas did not see any
one kick him, and also testified that Lynch
did not touch tlie officer while on the ground.
P. J O’Connor, Esq , represented the
prisoners. He argued that Officer Haines
had attacked the young men without cause,
1 and as they had only acted in self-defense,
> he thought thev should be discharged.
Hon. W. W. Osborne represented the
state He made a strong speech, denounc-
I ing the assault as one of the most cowardly
t anil unprovoked ever perpetrated in Chatham
county. Mr. Osborne urged Recorder
[ Wilson to turn the prisoners over to the
superior court.
I THE FULL PENALTY.
, At the conclusion of Mr. Osborne’s
speech Recorder Wilson passed sen
tence. He said he had carefully con
sidered tlie case, and, on account of Fogarty’s
parents, who had already ha I too much
. trouble with their son, had endeavored to see
i if there was not some room for leniency.
Not an extenuating circumstance could be
found, and he felt compelled to impose the
• full penalty of the law.
1 Fogarty and Drewery went to jail. Unless
i they pay their tines of SIOO each by Mon-
I day they will be sent to the gang. After
. this they will be tried in the superior court
, for a penitentiary offense.
