DROPPING rmE TIME BALL.

Savannahians to Have a Chance to Regu-
late Their Watches by Washington
Time.
Every street corner commanding a view
Of the root of the custom house was lined
yesterday about II O'Clock, standard
time. All were watching for the time
ball. Five minutes before the hour the
large canvas sphere was raised to the
top Of the staff by apparatus
in the upper story Of the custom house.
Mr.. Gardener, who superintended it's cree
ton, was at the base Of the staff waiting
for the signals from Washington. Mr..
Dillon, Manager of the Western Union
telegraph office, stood by the
Washington wire with his finger
on the switch and his eyes on
the new Gardener clock on the wall. The
storm of the night before had knocked
down several wires between Savannah
and Augusta and Augusta ana Whining
ton. There was some fear lest
the signals would not be received all
right on account of this. At 1851 the
first signal came. Apparently every tick
Of the Naval Observatory clock in Wash
tngton could be heard. Each swing Of
the pendulum Of the clock closes
the circuit in the observatory,
and the telegraph instrument ticks
distinctly and regularly. Every
second up to the % was heard. The next
was skipped and the succeeding q sec
onds were plainly beat. ''There she
goes" some one said directly. The ball
dropped slowly while the spectators COM
pared their watches and the Exchange
clock. The latter was just So minutes
past IL, or "A minutes slow of Washington
time

The principal topic of conversation yes
terday in Savannah seemed to be over the
drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery.
Early in the morning rumors were
circulated that part Of the CAPT
tai prize of $4,000 had been
drawn by some one in this city. Later
the number 81, 106 was said to be the lucky
one, and it was ascertained that two
tenths of this were held here. One of the
tickets, emitting the owner to $4,000,
was held by MIR. J. T. Dwyer, who has an
interest in a saloon on BroughtOn street,
near Drayton. During the afternoon be
was seen at the Marshall House by a
NEWS reporter and asked if the report
was true.
Eyes" ne replied, 81 bought a one
tenth ticket of that number"
"You were quite Fortunate" observed
the reporter.
''I guess can stand it, said he. 81

w G nave a special reason for Wishing TO
reduce our stock. We have rented our
present store to Messrs. j. R0senheim Il
| Co., and it will be necessary for us to va
cate as soon as possible, SO that needed
repairs may be made. Our new building
on corner Broughton and Bull streets is
rapidly going towards completion. 1t is
better to sell our stock of goods, even with
out one cent of profit, than to carry them
over to our new building. Spring trade
is almost over, but judging from the i'm
mense crowds which continually pack our
| stor one would hardly think so. ON last
/ Saturday the crowd was so great that we
were compelled TO close our doors. such
state Of affairs, we think, never before
existed in this city. There is areason for
all this, People have actually awakened
/ to the fact that A. X. AltmaYer Il Co. are
selling out, literally giving away goods
some OF them below the cost OF produc-
tlon. If you miss the opportunity which

yourself to thank for the needed expense
