VOL. IL NO. 68. IT IS UNANIMOUS, Haj Io Trust to llio People ala ' General Primary Election. THE CITIZENS’ CLUB TURNS OUT 1,000 STRONG AT THE THEATER. By a Practically Unanimous Vote It Accepts the General Primary As a Solution of Party Complications— But None of the Managers of the Last Municipal Election Are to Serve at the Primary—Eloquent Speeches By Prominent Members. Fully 1,000 members of the Citizens’Club attended the meeting at the theater last night, and the cartel agreed upon in the tri club conference was unanimously ratified by the club. President Osborne handled the gavel and Secretary Alexander the quill. After the minutes of the pievious meeting had been read and approved, 26 applications were re ceived and referred to the proper committee, swelling the roll of the club to 2,137, an an nouncement which was received with cheers. The vice president> and members of the conference committee were invited to seats upon the stage, after which the chair ex plained the circumstances under which the agreement had been reached and the cluses which led uo to the conference, disclaiming that the committee had bound or sought to bind the club, which latter would now be called upon to consider it. The secretary was then requested to read the agreement, which is as follows: THE AGREEMENT. “Resolved, That we recommend to the dif ferent political clubs and organizations be longing to the Democratic party of Chatham county and those members of the party not allied with any club or organization, that a general primary election be held at the court house in Chatham county on July 10, under the law regulating primary elections in this state, and additional regulations hereinafter provided, for the election of twenty-live (25) democrats of Chatham county, who shall constitute the democratic executive com mittee for the county for the ensuing two years from the date of their election, for delegates to the gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional conventions and for mem bers of the legislature from this county. “That the same number of ballot boxes and arrangement be provided at said primary as are provided at state and county elections, and each of said ballot boxes shall be presided over by tour (4) democrats as managers, two to be chosen by each of the opposing factions of the democracy, providing that no one holding office of any kind, either municipal, state or federal, shall be competent to ['reside at such primary. “That only qualified registered white voters of the county shall be entitled to vote at such primary. “ I hat a test ol the voter’s democracy shad be his support of the nominees of the demo cratic parly in. the most recent national and state election,ami the managers shall have the power to administer an oath as to this test. “That the 25 candidates receiving the high est number of votes for the executive com mittee shall constitute the democratic execu tive committee for the county as aforesaid,and this committee shall elect its own chairman; that the six gubernatorial, senatorial and con gressional delegates, respectively, receiving the highest number of votes, shall be de clared the duly elected candidates; and each delegate so elected to either of said conven tions shall have the right to select his own alternate. That the three candidates for the legislature receiving the highest number of votes shall be the regular nominees of the democratic party of Chatham county. “That the managers of each box shall duly and legally certify the result of the vote at their box to the Hon. Walter G. Charlton, chairman of the democratic party, not later than 48 hours after said primary is held, who shall consolidate the vote of all the boxes and shal' make a public announcement of the re sult ol the primary, and when said announce ment is sp made it shall be binding upon all members of the democratic party ; provided that in the event any contest shall be filed such announcement shall not be made until after such contest shall have been decided in accordance with the law; and provided further, that any notice oi a contest shal! be so filed within 48 hours after the holding of such primary election.” POPE BARROW ADDRESSES THE CLUB. I lon. Pope Barrow spoke at length urging the ratification of the agreement. He as signed a number of reasons why a practical solution of the present uncertain and unde termined situation should be had, and ex pressed confidence that the people would turn out and settle the matter at a general primary in such a manner that would unite the democracy and that the Citizens’ Club had nothing to fear by a submission of the vexed question to the primary. T. D. Rockwell, Esq., was the next speaker, : nd joined in an approval of the agreement. A primary was what the club bad first wanted, and if the club ratified the agree ment, there would be no doubt of the result when left to the people at a general primary election, as there were hundreds of citizens who were not members of any club who would be found voting with the Citizens’ Club. Mr. A. N. Manucy was called out. He spoke for himself and Mr. Starr as having favored district primaries at the conference, but had yielded the point in order to come to an agreement. He was satisfied to go into a general primary because he felt satisfied that the people would be found voting with those who had given them the Doolan registration law and the Osborne Australian ballot law to secure tair registration and honest elections. The people know that if the legislative candi- Übe IDwpatcb. dates of the Citizens’ Club is beaten, that these laws will be stricken from the statute books, and therefore there is no danger in trusting to the people to sustain these meas ures and men who represent them. He ap pealed to the club to ratify the agreement for a general primary DR. FALHGANT CALLED OUT. Dr. Louis A. Falligant was the next speaker, and the only one who expressed dissatisfac tion with a resubmission of the election of executive committeemen. He reviewed the mass meetings in the city districts, and his description of that in his own (the Third) dis trict was humorous, caustic and eloquent. He was liberally cheered, and the truth of his review of the situation was recognized bv the enthusiasm with which his remarks were re ceived, but while the club enjoyed the speech, it was inclined to give Tammany another test of its strength, and took no steps to oppose the agreement. Maj. John Schwarz was called on and spoke briefly, and was cheered vociferously. Al luding to the mass meetings he said: “we did win and there is no doubt of it.” He said that at first he was not inclined to con sent to anything but a district primary, but he was not afraid to trust to a general primary, and therefore accepted the agreement, and counseled its adoption by the Club. “All we have to do,” said the speaker, “is to roll up our sleeves and go to work, and once more the victory will be ours.” His allusion to the other faction as bolters was roundly cheered. MR. HERMAN MYERS’ REMARKS. Mr. Herman Myers, in response to calls, said it was a source of deep gratification to him to see such a large organization of citizens banded together for the purification of the ballot, and to succeed it had only to nominate good and capable men for office. He felt it an honor and a privilege to be a member of the club, and he assured the club that it would command the respect and support of good citizens if it selected men ol ability, integrity and capability to represent the county in the legislature. The county had been ably repre sented in the last legislature, and he believed the club would return those men as represent atives in the next legislature except Mr. Osborne, whom, he said,should be sent to the Senate. Referring to the present party complica tions, he said that he recognized there were differences, but that every honorable man’s opinions deserved careful consideration. He had carefully considered the agreement pre sented to the club, and he hoped it would be adopted unanimously. He believed it was a solution of the differences, and that by a general primary it would be found when the public had expressed itself that a handful of gentlemen could not control elec tions by the free use of money. The peo ple will never consent to elect men who would repeal the good work of the repre sentatives in the last legislature. All that is necessary to avert this is for all to pull to gether and success will be assured, that Hie good work may be finished. Mr. Myers concluded by saying that, “in unity tltere is strength, and we should act as a unit—we should stand like a rock —as firm as Gib raltar ,and the victory will be ours.” Mr. Myers then moved the adoption of the agreement. A hundred voices seconded the motion, and it was put and carried with a shout, only a half dozen negative votes being cast. NO MUNICIPAL MANiI’UAI.TORS. Hon J. J. Doolan moved that no manager of the last municipal election shall be per mitted to serve as a judge at the general pri mary election on July 10. The motion was received with a perfect whirlwind of applause and voices “we don’t want any more of that,” “you are right.” The motion was seconded in all parts of the theater, and was unani mously adopted. Mr. J. S. Collins said he had noticed a few negative votes on the conference agreement. He hoped that the motion would again be put to ratify it unanimously, which was done, and the agreement was declared unanimously adopted. On motion of WAV. Chisholm, the thanks ot the club were tendered to the members of the conference committee who have repre sented the Citizens’ Club, after which the meeting adjourned. HAVE YOU SEEN IT? Frank Leslie's Seines ami Portraits of the Civil War. The only officiaPillustrated history of the late war ever published. The greatest book of modern times, which illustrates the principal events of American history, with an introduction by Maj. Gen. Joseph B. Carr. Hundreds of stirring battle scenes, grand naval engagement, blockade running oper ations of cruisers and privateers graphically pictured. Nothing recalls the past so forcibly as pictures of the scenes taken at the time and on the spot. A picture is impartial; it cannot represent the success of the victors, without represent ing the heroism of their opponents; it does justice to both sides. Like Memorial day, which the north and south both keep holy, it strengthens the bonds of sympathy between all true American citizens. Don’t fail to examine this publication before purchasing any other war history. Kenilworth Inn.

WINGED A BURGLAR. A MIDNIGHT MARAUDER SURPRISED WHILE EXPLORING A ROOM. Mr. Hariet of West Savannah Has an Encounter in the Dark With a Bur glarious Darkey—The Burglar Es capes, But Carries Off a Brace of Bullets That Will Probably Prove Fatal. Last night Stephen Elliott, a notorious ne gro chicken thief, was shot and probably fatally wounded by Mr. Henry Hariet, who resides in West Savannah. For some time past the people who reside in West Savannah have been complaining of repeated attempts to rob their houses. The residents sought relief of the city, but none was to be had, and they organized a vigilance committee, which was the only course that they could have pursued in the matter. This was several weeks ago. On Sunday night Mr. Evele, who was doing duty in the early part of the night, noticed that there were an unusual number of men in the vicin ity of the race track. He watched them, and it was not long before he came to the conclu sion that they were ti amps. He left them to go and get aid so that the men could be caught, brought to town and sent to jail Wheu he came back with two other gentle men they were gone. Nothing was seen of them or any one else until last night. WAS IN THE KITCHEN. Last night Mr. Hariet was not on duty. He went to bed early, but was awakened at 1 o’clock this morning by a noise • which seemed to come from the kitchen. Making a hasty toilet, he went downstairs, and when he opened the door that leads to the kitchen from the hallway a negro, who afterwards turned out to be Elliot, tried to force open the window on the west side of the house. He failed and then made a rush for the door in which Mr. Hariet was standing. He ran against Mr. Hariet, who could not see well, having been in the light before en tering the room, and knocked him down. This aroused the entire household. The negro ran to the front door and kicked one of the panels out, makiug a hole large enough through which to escape. Just as he kicked the panel, however, Mr. Hariet, who had re gained his feet, fired two shots at the fleeing negro. One of the bullets struck him in the leg. IS HE SEVERELY WOUNDED ? It is thought that the other shot took ef fect, as there was considerable blood on the stoop when Mr. Hariet and his son went in search of the negro. The latter was not to be found, much to the surprise of Mr. Hariet, who, no doubt, thought he—haff killed a robber. The negro evidently had ran across the road and into the bushes op posite Mr. Hariet’s house. This morning Ed. Houston, a negro who works for Mr. Fell, told Mr. Hariet that he met Elliott al the 7-mile post on the Augusta road in a wagon, and claimed that he was shot in the breast. Mr. Hariet lost nothing at all, as Elliott had not been in the house long enough to get off with anything. The entrance to the house was effected through a window on the eastern side of the house. Elliott, the ne gro who Houston claims is so seriously' shot, is one of the most notorious and des perate chicken thieves and all around toughs in the county, and has served a number of sentences on the chain-gang. DEATH-DEALING. Str. Turpin's Gun Could Destroy Purls lu an Hour—lt Is Irresistible. Paris, June 19. [By Postal Co.] —Figaro publishes a communication from M. Francis Laur on the subject of M. Turpin’s inven tion: “It was in prison," says M.Laur, “that Turpin gave me a glimpse of the scheme on which he is working. He was sufficiently explicit Between what I am going to de scribe and the perfected apparatus there is all the distance which separates a mere study from a complete plan, but 1 believe that my account contains all the principal points. “ ‘1 have,’ said Turpin, ‘applied to the cannon the principal of the mitrailleuse, with absolutely automatic loading apparatus. The gunner is done away with, and liquefied gas or other explosive is at once my motor and my ammunition. It is only a question of machinery, but the trouble is with the sup plies. To take my weapon into action I want an immense quantity of ammunition, and that is why I need a steamer or a train to cairy all at once.’ “The railway would thus become a sort of line of defense, and a hostile force might be inclosed in them as in a polygon of iron. An army on the inarch would only have to put in its front one of my weapons, armored, of course, to be able to advance whither it liked with impunitv. It is a fan of fire covering, if need be, a circle twelve kilome ters in diameter and sweeping away every thing before it. ” Turpin’s tube cannon would, says M. Laur, discharge little shells only a few centi meters in diameter. He seems to have started from the idea of the revolver can nons, fixed on a pivot, which are used in the navy, but he has found the means of load ing automatically and keeping up a continu ous and all-destroying fire. That is why he requires a steamer or train to carry tons of ammunition. By methodically turning the gun every inch ot a circle 12 kilometers in the diameter can be covered, and, as each shell contains an explosive, it would, on touching the ground, burst and scatter destruction around it. Such a weapon placed on the 1 pera could destroy Paris in an h<.ur. •‘Old Hoss” Sale.

F. 4 R Ry. ■ THIRD TRIAL OF THE NOW FA, Mn "S CASE. i r How the Little Fellow Lost His Leg- A Base Ball Responsible for the Accident—R. Henry Cole’s Suit for a Discharge Without Cause to Be Thrown Out of Court on AticJfintoi'*' the Uncon<«tltibnality of the Law. The suit of J. J. Waller, by his father, George Waller, against the Savannah, Floridt and Western Railway Company for $20,000 for the loss of a leg, came up in the city court this morning. Much interest has been manifested in this case, which has been tried twice before. The first trial of the case was a verdict for the railroad company but the supreme court granted the plaintiff a new trial. The second trial of the case several months ago resulted in a verdict of SIO,OOO for the plaintiff, who is only 12 years ofage. Erwin, dußignon & Chisholm repiesented the rail road through Mr. W. W. Chisholm, the junior member of the firm, who moved for a new trial, and ludge MacDonell granted it THE THIRD TRIAL. This, the third trial of this case, was taken up this morning. Mr. W. W. Gordon, |r , represents the plaintiff. A number of wit nesses were examined, but the case was brought to an abrupt end. The manner in which young Waller lost his leg was a peculiar one. He carried his father’s dinner to the railroad shop,after which he sat down to rest. Some of the young boys and men were playing ball and one of them muffed, the sphere going under the cars on a side-track. One of the men told young Waller to go under the car and get the ball. After Wal ler had got the ball and started from under the car the engine, which nobody seemed to know was coupled to the cars, moved off and the boy was caught and so badly mangled that it became necessaiy to ampu tate the leg at the knee. SPRUNG A SURPRISE. Everything moved along smoothly this morning. Alter a tranroei “r ■*!<,«« ... been examined, Mr. Chisholm moved a non suit. This was a complete surprise to the other side and caused quite a sensation in the court room. Judge MacDonell discharged the jury until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock, at which time he will render his de cision. Mr. Chisholm moved the non-suit on the ground that the railroad company was not liable to damages because one of its em ployes told Waller to go under the car. He read decision after decision to sustain his position. •‘The railroad company,” said Mr. Chish olm. “have no way to get the testimony in this case. They have to take that of the plaintiff’s witnesses—the men who were playing ball and the boy Waller. But in view of the fact that signs are dis played throughout the railroad yard, cautioning people to keep off the track, it would seem that the road should not be responsible for any in jury young Waller may have sustained as a result of his indiscretion, and counsel will fight the issue on this line.” Mr. Chisholm had not concluded his argu ment up to 2:30 o’clock. COLE’S FATE SETTLED. The decision handed down by the supreme court yesterday to the effect that a railroad corporation shall not be compelled to give reasons to any men whom it desires to dis charge, has been the tatk of the lawyers and officials of the court house all day. In this connection Mr. R. Henry Cole, who was dis missed by the Savannah, Florida and Western railway without cause, so he says, will have a shadow cast over his dreams, as Mr. W. W. Chisholm will move in a day or two to throw the case out of court. Cole, it will be remembered, made quite a reputation in the city court—for having his declarations thrown out for want of proper preparation. He was indefatigable, however, and persisted that the Savannah, Florida and Western railway should pay him $5,000, There was no use in talking against him ; he was going to win and did make many an ef fort to do so. He finally agreed to let the su preme court decide the case, and now that the case is against him, his $5,000 will go glimmering. TYBEE FREIGHTS. Mr. Ryan Replies to Supt. Sa ussy’s Card to Yes terday's Press. J. T. Ryan called at The Daily Dispatch office to-day to reply to Supt. Saussy’s card in yesterday’s Press. Mr. Ryan says he does not like to be put in the attitude of a kicker against the Savannah and Atlantic railroad, but at the same time he wants justice. In regard to the freight charge on a sewing machine Mr. Ryan said he was notified that if the machine went un boxed he would have to pay $1.50; if boxed, 50 cents. He had to purchase lumber and box the machine himself. “Here are some figures, however,” said Mr. Ryan, ‘‘that I hardly think will be dis puted by Supt, Saussy.
