Denny Lyons is now playing In Cuba.
The base ball season IN Nashville will
be inaugurated on All-fooPs day. Strange
coincidence.
Fusselback thought the salary with
Memphis was too low, and wouldn't sign
for next season.
The Leadville club was expelled from
the Western League last fall on account
of arrearages to players.
The International League has ten clubs
now and wants but eight. The League
has nine and wants but eight.
The first game OF base ball was played
way back in '46. Its 'sphere" has en-
larged considerably since that time.
New Orleans is already making prepa-
rations for the team that will represent
the Crescent City in the Southern League.
The new pitching rules Will be particu-
larly severe on Morris aud KilrOy. Both
are in the habit OF getting out of the box
when they deliver the ball.
Jim Hart is making barrel OF money
on his San Francisco venture. The Louis
villes drew over II, ZOO people to one sun
day game in the Golden City.
The total attendance at the league
games in Chicago the past season was
100000. OF this number the Detroit club
drew $4,000. They ought to be entitled to
some division OF the receipts.
Cleveland has a population of 225, 900.
Ii Louisville and PItcsburg, with $4,000
less population to draw from, can sup
port first-class teams and make money,
the new club ought to be big invest
ment.
There is considerable anxiety as to At
lanta's intentions in diamond matters
next season. 1t is rumored that the
Southern League will not number the
Georgia metropolis among its members.
Nearly all the base ball grounds
throughout the country, the New York
Herald says, have Deen turned into popu-
lar winter resorts by the adoption OF the
toboggan slides. Not in this part Of the
country.

PROPOSED NEW COURT HOUSE.
Some Suggestions in Regard to Pro-
posed Competition For Plans.

posed Competition For Plans.
Editor Of the Morning Neoos: In
the matter of the new court house for
Chatham county, now under discussion,
it would be advisable for the commits
sioners to arrange the details OF the pro-
posed competition for plans, so as to Sc
cure, as far as possible, the most careful
consideration OF the problem. compe.
tition, the details Of which are well
arranged, will attract attention OF the
best architectural talent, while an ordi-
nary scramble will just as surely shut
out the most desirable. An architect
who is busy cannot be expected to COM
pete for work without some reasonable
assurance that the competition Will be
a test of merit. Among the conditions
usually insisted upon in well designed
programmes the following are most i'm
pOrtant:
l. There must be jury of award whose
names shall be guaranty of good faith,
and who should be referred to in
the invitation 10 architects.
2. The award should be made under
professional advice. The name of the
architect filling this position should also
be given.
3. The professional adviser should not
compete.
4. as lew drawings as possible snouIu
be required-say, plans, elevations and
a perspective view, with a description
of proposed building. Drawings are ex-
pensive, and the burden on the unsuc-
cessful should be as light as possible.
5. Drawings should be submitted under
nom de plume"
8. Drawings Of unsuccessful competl-
tors should be returned.
7. The successful competitor should be
charged with the execution of the work
at usual rates of compensation.
One point very generally objected to
by architects in ordinary competition is
that when the jury of award does not act
under professional advice an inferior de-
sign, well rendered, will almost lnvaria-
bly, be placed ahead of a much better, but
poorly treated one. The cunning of a
good draughtsman is proverbial. and will
cover multitude OF sins. A good illus
tration OF this occurred in a notable CON-
petition several years ago, where the de-
sign selected was one submitted by a
young draughtsman who had no expert
ence in construction. The conditions do
not seem unreasonable, so give the good
men chance.

THE BASE BALL OUTLOOK.
GETTING THINGS In SHAPE FOR
NEXT SEASON.

Meeting to be Held at Fords' Opera
House on Monday Night-The Sc 900
Forfeit to be Put Up by Jan. 10-What
Other Clubs are Doing-Members OF
Last Years Club Who Have Not Yet
Been Signed.
On account of the heavy rain the base
ball meeting at the Fords' Opera House
last night was adjourned until Monday
night. The attendance was larger than
was expected, and the shack
ers" of the club were out in
force. 1t was thought best, however,
not to make any decisive move until next
week when the association will be reor-
ganized. The present lease Of the frau
chise, grounds and property from the old
association does not expire until March.
1t is necessary, however, in order to re-
tain the league franchise to put up the
$4,000 forfeit by Jan. 10, and to do this it
Is proposed to organize new associa-
ton.
A good many have asked the question,
"Will Savannah be in the league next
yearP There is not doubt about it,.
The hackers Of the club last year are
ready to put their hands in their pockets
this year. The fact that Savannah. the
youngest CLUB in the league, ranked Sec
ond and pushed close to first place the
first season, a thing almost unheard OF in
the history of base ball, ought to stimu-
late the admirers of the sport to stronger
effort to "get there" next time. There are
some things to contend with, of course.
but there seems to be no reason
why Savannah shall not go into the
field next spring with the winning team.
All that is needed is liberal support by
the public, and that in part has already
been assured. 1t Is necessary, however,
to 90 to work at once.
The $4,000 forfeit must be put up with
the League Treasurer within the next
four weeks. AS soon as the new organl-
cation is effected and directory is chosen
the next move will be to select manager
and get together the team.
Quite number of last years team have
already signed with other clubs, but there
are plenty of good men yet. Hotaling
and Miller, two OF the best men in tbe
league last year, are still unsigned
80 are the two MOriaritys. Club"
Collins is reserved by Louisville. but has
not vet signed. Sutclitfe and Field can
probably be got. 1t is high time though
that something be done. The other
clubs in the league are moving.
Memphis and Nashville are picking up
their men. New Orleans is already Or
ganiZed. Charleston is on the lookout,
and Chattanooga 10 about TO get under mo-
ton. Macon and Atlanta are the only
clubs that there seems to be any doubt
about, and they will probably fall into
line unless Mobile gobbles up Macon as
che wants to do. 1t remains for Savan-
nah to show her hand, and at the meeting
on Monday night everything will prOba-
bly, be got in working order.

THE GLER,s DAMAGED CARGO.

The Swollen Cotton Opens the YES
sePs Seams.
The Norwegian bark Gler was lowed
yesterday from GIlbert's wharf up to the
wharf OF the Central Press, where the
work Of discharging her cargo was re-
sumed by Messrs. Bergman & Kehoe.
They have forty men working on the ship
day and night, but progress is slow as the
cotton has swollen so that the bands OF
the bales have burst and the bales fall to
pieces.
Considerable difficulty is met with
owing to lack Of sufficient steam power.
In lifting out the bales a number OF
hawsers were broken yesterday and a
number of hooks were lost in the hold.
AS it is the force has done remarkably
we'll. They have taken out OF the ship
altogether $50 bales. The sailors are kept
constantly at the pumps and both pumps
are going, but there is no decrease in the
depth OF water.
At dark last night there was still 81
feet of water in the hold. The vessel
is leaking and il is believed
that the cotton has swollen and opened
her seams. The stevedores continued
discharging the vessel all last night, and
will continue until she is entirely clear OF
her cargo. They are under disadvantages
having to werk in the water.

Food--The NJ ate's stOry-He Ssys the
Charge Was Once Before Made Against
Him and WAS Investigated in Brazil.
j. S. Titcomb, first mate of the schooner
M. b. Millen, was arrested yesterday
afternoon for the murder Of Capt. W. X.
Young, formerly master of the vessel.
The schooner is owned by Wadley Il Co.,
OF Rogers, Ga.
On July IA last the vessel cleared from
Satilla with lumber for Rio de Janeiro.
On Aug. /, while still out, Capt. Young
died suddenly and was buried at sea.
The seamen allege that the mate poisoned
him. Some of them state that Titcomb
remarked one day on deck that he would
fix the captain. Titcomb then went be-
low, and within half an hour Young was
dead. The body they say was not sewed
in sheet, but was thrown overheard
without even the brief formalities usually
attending burial at sea.
CAPT. DYER's CHARGE.
Capt. Frank f. Dyer. at present master
ttf the vessel and a sOn-in-law OF Capt.
Young, swore out the warrant which was
issued by Judge Speer. The mate denies
the charge. He says that he joined the
schooner in New York before she started
for Satilla. Capt. Young was old, sick
and peevish, and was constantly taking
medicine for one thing and another.

some of the sailors who did not like me.

The mate is a Maine man, tail, neatly
dressed. and Of good appearance. He
Is from the western portion of the State,
while Capt. Young was from the eastern
part.
The mate did not appear TO be much
disturbed by the grave charge pending
against him, and spoke hopefully of
proving his innocence. He was COM
United to Jail last night, and will be
given a hearing this morning before
Judge Speer. Before joining the Millen
he was employed as Waterman on the
water front in New York. Capt. Young
was well known in this port, where he
had many friends among the shipping
man.

Rain Does not Keep Crowds Away
Last Nights Efforts.
Owing to the Inclemency OF the weather
last night the Oglethorpe Light Infantry
postponed their visit to the Cadets Bazaar
until next Wednesday evening. Notwith-
standing the unfavorable night, how
ever, quite a thriving business was done
by the young ladies who were present and
a number Of chances were taken at the
various tables.
The committee has arranged a novel
feature for tonight. Every person who
attends the bazaar between O'Clock and
$3.50 will be presented with a chance on
two articles, to be rallied during the night,
and to be given TO the highest and lowest
throws. These articles will be selected
by the committee, and will be on exhibit
ton in the hall until raffled of.

an immense business. The rack is one OF

The Telephone Exchange is about to

Der Of telephones that have been put up
during the past month or two renders it
anecessity that a new directory be issued.
Subscribers whose numbers have been
changed or were incorrectly printed in
the last directory are requested to notify
the exchange at once so that the correc-
tiors may be made In the directory about
~ be issued. Manager Dillon is intro
6ucing the telephone service into
residences, and it is probable that resi-
dence lines will be established all over
the city in a short time. In order to test
the convenience of residence telephone
new subscribers who come in in time for
the new directory will be given one
months service free. The exchange is
growing rapidly and telephones are being
put in at the rate of one every day. Under
Its present management the service is
more satisfactory than it has ever been.
in fact, Savannah has probably the best
organized and working exchange of any

Mr.. Plant Not 10 Build Hotel There
The Florida Commission.
The presence OF Architect j. A. Wood
in Havana in company with President
Plant and General Manager Haines, OF
the Plant system, was the foundation for
n report that Mr.. Plant purposes
building hotel In CubH's capital. MIR.
Wood was observed going around study
ing and measuring Bavana buildings and
it was supposed that be was looking out
for O site for new hotel.
Col. ii. s. Haines said yesterday that

do with a new hotel for Havana, nor had
Mr.. Woods 80 far as be knew. II Savan-
nah's hotels were as good as Hayana's n
new one would not be needed here, he
added.
On the Florida railroad commission
question, which is being agitated through
out tue State, Col. Haines seems TO be in.
different. The Plant system is an inter.
State system and State commission can.
not affect through rates. The Plant line
is carrying freights through Florida now.
Col. Haines says, at rates lower than the
local roads can afford.
