THE mAsoNrC Bazaar AND FAIR.
Meeting OF the Executive Commit
fee-sIs,OO0 Net Realized.

The members Of the Executive Commit
tee have been busily engaged since the
close Of the Masonic Bazaar and Fair in get
ting the affairs in condition so as to be able
to make report of its results. At meet
ing of the committee, held last evening, the
subcommittee representing the several
lodges submitted a statement OF their re-
ceipts and expenditures. A few articles are
still on hand, but the receipts from them
viii not materially change the results, the
accounts showing that the exhibition Melted
the handsome sum Of $4,000.
Messrs. r. B. Reppard, j. Fl. Estill, c..
L. Wakefield and Osceola Butler were ap-
pointed to draw up a suitable series Of
resolutions thanking all who assisted at
and contributed to the Bazaar and Fair, an
especially to those ladies who devoted
themselves for weeks to the work of making
the occasion so grand success. The
committee were instructed to have
the resolutions published in the
MORNING NEWS. The Masonic fra
ternity and the citizens of Savannah
generally are to be congratulated on the
great success attending this effort to assist
the Oldest Masonic Lodge In Georgia and
the second Oldest in America In relieving
itself from a burdensome debt. As there
were only a few minor matters to be ar
ranged, which were left to the Chairman,
and it having been decided that the sub
committees should submit their accounts
and vouchers to their respective Lodges for
examination, the Executive Committee ad-
journed sine die.

SAVANNAH YACHTmEN.


Yesterday morning large and enthusi-
astic meeting of the members of the Savan-
nah Yacht Club was held at the Office Of the
Secretary. The meeting was called to make
arrangements for the annual cruise of the
club. The nveliest interest was manifested,
and the indications are that there will be
more yachts in the field than on any previ-
GUS cruise.
The fine yacht "Dream" will be the flag
ship, and will be used by Commodore VIM.
Hone and his immediate staff.
The following named yachts have been
entered for the cruise, and there will be
others as soon as the owners, who are alb
sent from the city, return, to-wit: "Vernon,"
Matte" "Jule," "Quickstep," "Zinga, F."
"Wave," and the store ship.
The yachts will rendezvous at Montgome-
~, on Monday, the 9th June, and Captains
of yachts are required to report on board
the flagship at o'clock p. m. punctually.
The fleet will proceed from Montgomery to
Brunswick, to witness the regatta which
takes place there on the 9Th of June, and
to participate in the pleasures Of the fair
there being held. They will then resume
the cruise, and stop at various points along
the coast, Isle Of Hope and Montgomery.
1t is expected that the cruise will last about
a week, and it is anticipated with great
pleasure by the Yachtmen, and will un-
doubtedly prove very enjoyable trip.

A Too Common OGense Let An
Example BE Made.

The leniency extended to parties who are
axraigned In the Police Court on the charge
Of resisting the officer who may be called
upon to arrest them, would not seem to be
deserved. Such cases are becoming very fire.
quent of late, and the only way to stop It
and protect the policemen in the discharge
of their duty is to impose upon such parties
the extreme penalty of the law. We are
informed that light fine Is readily paid,
aud that the effect is to encourage the dis
orderly characters, especially negroes, to
give the policemen as much trouble as pos
sEble. Some have been heard TO boast that
'tno d-n white policeman could arrest
them without a fight, and If brought into
court, they could easily raise q small fine
and get off,
We are pleased to see that the same
course which effectuallY suppressed this
offense few years ago, will be again adopt
ed. Yesterday morning J. A. Cohen q
negro who was arrested by Policeman Muse
for disorderly conduct aud shooting at
Henry Minis, eolored, in dram shop on
Sunday afternoon, was brought before the
Police Court. It was shown that this negro
had violently resisted the officer, fought
him savsgeIy and tore the buttons from his
coat and otherwise injured his uniform.
He was turned over to answer the charge
before the City Court, and It is hoped will
be sent to do the city some service on the
chain gang. Resistance to officers ia the
discharge of their duty should be summari-
~ stopped.

A NEW HOTEL.
Preliminary Meeting OF Citizens
To-Day.

There will be a preliminary meeting this
afternoon at five O'Clock at the Long Room
of the Exchange to consider the most prae-
ticable means to successfully inaugurate the
movement for the erection Of q new hotel.
The hour selected is convenient, and it is to
be hoped that there will be full attend
apce Of our prominent citizens and business
men, and that some definite steps will be
taken. This is very important matter, and
should have the earnest cooperation of
every citizen interested in the future of Sa-
vaunah. a first class modern hotel, with
accommodations and conveniences, is the
great need of Savannah, and this
fact Is realized by our citizens generally.
There is not doubt as to It's
success from the very start, as it would
have the patronage Of the wealthy classes
who journey South every winter, and in
other ways would greatly benefit the city
by extending inducements to strangers to
tarry in our midst. Now is the time to
start the project, and, with proper energy
and enterprise, Savannah may have SPLEEN
did hotel, superior to the Kimball, of At
lants, or the st. James, of Jacksonville,
completed and ready for the reception of
guests at the commencement of the fall sea-
son.
Therefore, let all who can possibly do so
attend the meeting this afternoon, and go
prepared to offer some practical sugges-
tiOns.

DEFECTIVE SIDEWALKS.
The Ordinance TO be Enforced.

Some days since we called attention to
some Of the many horrible sidewalks In this
city, and suggested that the authorities take
such action as would ensure their early re-
pair. On Broughton street, the most public
thoroughfare in the city, are to be found
several places which are really disgrace to
the city and are dangerous pitfalls for pc
destrlans.
We are pleased to state now that the or
dinance is to be rigtdly enforced, and that
our efficient City Marshal, Captain L. L.
Goodwin, has entered vigorously upon the
work. The ordinance requires that the City
Marshal shall notify owners of property,
whose sidewalks are out of repair, to have
the same put In good order. If this is not
done within ten days by the owner or his
agent, then the work is to be done under
the direction of the city, and the
expense of the same is to be collected as a
tax from the property. The full provisions
OF the ordinance are to be stringently en-
forced, and it therefore beho yes those who
receive notice that their sidewalks must be
repaired to govern themselves accordingly.
We would like to see the sidewalks of the
city IN excellent order, and so would
the many who have complained about tt cir
wretched condition, aud this can be very
readily accomplished by an enforcement OF
this ordinance, which Is very comprehensive
and explicit,

A Worthy Physician Surprised :

a ~ Why AlSACAaM -
Handsome Testimonial.
Yesterday morning about ~ O'Clock our
worthy fellow citizen, DIR. John d. Martin,
received a summons to call at the Office Of
well known and popular shipping mer-
chant on the Bay on important business.
He responded promptly and found there
gathered few personal friends, aud was
invited to accompany them to a private
room over ''The Office" on the opposite
side of the street. where the merchant had
something to exhibit. Utterly ignorant of
the purpose Of this movement, DIR. Martin
entered the room with the party,
when the merchant, after a brief state
ment of serious illness that he had passed
through, during which he bad been
most faithfully attended by his physician,
DR.. Martin, paid high tribute to that gen.
tleman's professional skill, land asserted that
words nor money could express his appreci-
alton of the delicate and kind attentions
AS, however, a token OF his esteem and
friendship, he desired to present testimo-
NAL to the doctor, and wished to render the
occasion pleasant by the presence of few
mutual friends, hence the gathering. He
then removed from the place where It was
lying concealed splendid Ballard rifle, Ga,
P. G., with leather case and all the equip
ments.
DR.. Martin was completely surprised, and
showed the emotion which stirred him as
he made graceful acknowledgment of this
friendly and high appreciation Of his SER
vices, greater he said than was deserved.
Over sparkling champagne and fragrant
Havanas a social half hour followed, in
commemoration of the presentation. On
the stock OF the rife is a handsome silver
plate with this inscription:

ApprehensiOns in Regard to the Fate
of a Young Man.

Mr. Peter McGlashan, a moulder. en-
ployed at McDonough & Ballantyne's foun-
dry. has been missing since last Saturday
morning. About 10 o'clock on that dsY he
knocked off work, and, putting on his coat,
left the foundry, since which time all traces
of him have been lost. The missing man is
about 20 years Of age, and was serving his
apprenticeship as a moulder. About IS
months ago he was accidentally struck on
the head while at work, since which time
he has been subject to temporary attacks
OF alteration Of mind, and it
is supposed that while thus
affected he wandered away. His father and
two brothers, and also other friends, have
been searching for him since Saturday, but
no trace has yet been found, nor has the
least information been obtained, no o1e
having seen him since he left his work.
Any person knowing anything of him will
confer a favor by leaving word at his
fathers residence, State street, or at Nc
Donough & Ballantyne's foundry.

The picnic of the Irish Jasper Greens to

has taken place this season, and was Ger.
tainlY most delightfulsnd charming affalI
to all who had the good fortune to be pres
ent. The steamer left the wharf at nine
O'Clock in the morning with an immense
crowd, and although many returned with
their families on the early boat, which left
Tybee at 4 O'Clock p. m, there were q
a number who went down again on the six
O'Clock boat. At the island the day was
very enioyably spent, and when the time for
returning home came there were many who
were reluctant TO leave the scenes of so
much pleasure. Everything passed of
most satisfactorily, and with her large aud
precious freight the good steamer Plant
moored safely at her wharf at half-past ten
O'Clock last night.
