WHY THERE WAS NO GAME.

The Gophers Bolt and Quit their Mana
ger-Discord in their Rsnks-The
Dixies and OgIethOrpes To-Day.
s.No game today was placarded on
the horse cars running to the Base Ball
Park yesterday. The Gophers had been
advertised to play their third game with
the Dixies, and everything pointed to
good match. It was known that some
of the GOphers had the sulks and
were out of sorts the day before.
One or two of them SAID they
wouldn't play another game. Four OF
the nine were disposed to withdraw, and,
it was claimed, tried to influence the
others to kick out and leave with them.
Thursday night the boilers met in room
at the Pavilion and talked over matters.
The trouble came to the ears Of Manager
JacOby, who told the men if they were
dissatisfied to quit and 20 home.
Five of them were willing to
stay and play out the games advertised
with substitutes picked up from other
mines. but the others were bound to bolt
and break the dates 1t was impossible
TO reconcile the discOrd, and the nine dis
banded and left for home on the early
train yesterday morning.
A MORNING News reporter found Mr..
IdEONy at. bAE 4 az AAAbu anu oohNN
him about the trouble. 'Eyery-
thing went smoothly he re-
piled. ''until some of the men
got the sulks. and that upset the whole
nine. We fully expected to play the
DiXies. and il was as great a disappOint-
ment to me as 10 them that the game was
off. l brought out the nine solely upon
my own responsibility and for my own
fun, and Eve had enough of it. The men
were not paid. They were picked out from
the factory of which | am one of the pro-
prietOrs. and were called the GOphers,
after the name of the factory, and the
brand of cigars we make. OF course, as
and men playing without pay,
il was impossible 10 control them as
nine. | can only say that il
is a matter of regret to me that we could
not play the fun number of games adver-
tised in Savannah"
The commencement made by the placards
and at the hotels was widely circulated,
and very few went out to the park. There
were some. though, who did 90, and were
on finding the gates shut.
This afternoon the date made
vacant by the GOphers will be
filled BY the DiXies and OglethOTpes.
The game Will probably De the last of the
season for the championship between
clubs. The DiXies viii have in
Fitzgerald and Norton as their battery,
and the 0glethOTpes will play Comm and
Tanning. As this Will be the last meet
ing of the city clubs, hard pull will be
made for the championship.

Let the Facts be stated,

Editor MOrnin@ :, s,os: The Chief of
the Savannah Fire Department having
given notice strictly prohibiting any OF
the volunteers of the fire companies to re-
main in or about che engine houses, and
even prohibiting the use Of one OF the
engine halls, has given general dlssatis-
faction among the volunteer members.
Ever since Mr.. Fernandez, as Chief,
took charge of the department,
he has put every obstacle in the way for
the express purpose OF getting an entire
paid department, He is not the owner
of one dollars worth of property nor does
be even pay one cent tax to the city, and
vet he is willing to run the tax payers to
an additional expense by the emnilGCyment
of a certain number OF men who would
have to be paid for their services.
The volunteer members of the
various fire companies have always per-
formed their duties faithfully, and they
are still willing to discharge their duties
without fee or reward, but they do wish
to be treated with respect, as they have
treated others. If the City Council
carries out the Chiefs desire they will
only increase the expenses of the Fire
Department, and the property holders
will have to pay an additional tax with
out any necessity for So doing.
AN OLD FIREMAN.

A Nuisance.


Editor Morning Nelcs; Why don't the
CITY authorities enforce the ordinance re-
curing the street railways to water their
tracksY The Abercorn line is perfect
nuisance to both the residents and the
travellers on its line-the houses and fur
uiture of the former, and the throat and
lungs of the latter being filed with dust
raised By the cars. The seats in the cars
are covered with dust, generally speak
ing, and a addressed lady or gentle
man suffers greatly by contact with
them. The drivers complain Of 1t, every
body complains of it, even the poor brutes
who draw the cars, although they cannot
speak, express their discomfort by their
looks. Those of us who live south OF Gas
ton street are compelled to ride on ac-
count of the distance down town. We
therefore beg that the city authorities
will enforce the law in this matter, and
thereby protect us from this nuisance.
Taking into consideration the fact that
! 49,. yaiIu<av oorlseanV hove ;-ooaaD+tv in

creased the fare on their lines, we think
the city ought to protect our health and
property from injury by this dust=ralsIng
corporation, and not let it have every
thing its ownvwav. TRAVELLER.

Before the session of the Georgia Rail-
road Commission in Atlanta this week,
all the Commissioners being present, the
matter of reducing the cotton freight
rates on the Savannah, Florida and West
ern came up for consideration. The Com
mission decided to change the rates from
an allowance of 30 per cent. to the road
on standard rates to 20 per cent. The cot
ton rates on the Brunswick and Western
were changed from an allowance of 10
per cent. on standard rates to 10 per cent.
This action places the Central, East Ten

The classification of freights was over
hauled. Rough stone, curbing, Belgian
blocks, rubble and rough slabs, were
placed 90 per cent. below ''Class p"
Stone blocks dressed and pro-
tected, and stone slabs dressed and pro-
tected. were placed in "CIass Z, all in
car load lots of $4,000 pounds. Capt.
Cecil Gabbett petitioned to be allowed to
adopt a system of drawback checks on
the Atlanta and West Point Railroad
charging ten cents additional on each
cash fare collected. The Secretary was
notified to notify him that if he adopted
this system he must make an additional
charge of twenty-five cents, as is done on
the Central and other roads. The Column
bus and Rome Railroad presented table
OF rates which they desired adopted on
their road in view of It's early completion
to Sulphur Springs, said table being an
increase on present rates in several in
stances. This the Commission declined
to allow, inasmuch as they considered
that they were allowing said road very
liberal percentage on present standard

Our last advertisement brought us
numbers of purchasers all anxious for
bargains, and they got them too. We
told you that we meant just what we said
that we were gong to sell clothing, and
we did it. The prices were ruinOus, it is
true, but then, in the face of new
season, we couldn't hold the goods, and
no respectable offer was let pass.
We have still lett few of those stylish
ly made Gents and Youths suits that
must be closed out, and if you appreciate
bargains now is the opportunity to enjoy
them. Nothing is misrepresented. No
'baits" or ''decOy" offers. We expect
to make a permanent customer of every
caller, and to do that we propose to send
those who do not know us away with an
impression that will bring them back
again.
We would rather let our goods lay on
our shelves and counters unsOld than to
have anyone think that they had been i'll
