PREPARING FOR A BALL.
The First Regiment Armory Com
Inittee's Meeting.

The ArmOry Committee of the First
Volunteer Regiment met at the Republi-
can Blues Hall last night to discuss the
giving of bali for the benefit of the
armory fund. The meeting was well at
tended and all present were much inter-
ested in the work before them. 1t was
decided to give a grand regimental ball
at the Guards Arsenal about the middle
OF November. The Guards have kindly
rendered the use Of their hall for this
purpose, and offer has been gratefully &C.
cepted.
The following general committee of ar
rangements was appointed TO look after
the ball and TO use its influence towards
making it a success:

W. B. Spanu, Sergt. K. p. Lowell and
Sergt. A. j. Franklin who will have the
detail work incidental to the ball in
charge, and will give it their personal at
tention. They Will 90 to work at once and
will use every effort to make the ball one
of the grandest affairs OF the kind ever
given in the city. The date will be defin-
itely fixed in a few days and tickets will
be at once put on sale.
This is the initiatory step or the part of
the First Regiment towards securing an
armory, and the result of its efforts will
doubtless be the erection, in the course OF
a few years, of a magnificent building
similar to the structure recently COM
pleted by the Guards. II is an enterprise
worthy of public patronage, and one to
which all will doubtless respond with a
liberal hand.

JUSTICES MILL GRINDs.
Cases Disposed of Before Magistrate
Molina.

Molina.
Yesterday was a regular field day for
Magistrate Molina. He was kept busy
all day dealing out justice to negroes who
had violated the law. Daniel Wallace Is
an industrious negro who lives out on the
Waters road. Last Monday he missed
cow and was unable to hear anything OF
her until yesterday morning, when he
met Charles Butler, and Butler told MIN
that early Monday morning one Wash
Williams had tried to sell him COW that
answered to the description of the one
lost by Wallace. A warrant was sworn
out by Wallace charging Williams with
stealing the cow. Deputy Sheriff VIM.
Hall saw Williams in the city during the
forenoon, and arresting him took him be-
fore the Magistrate, who committed him
to jail.
For some time past the different tug
boats have been missing various articles
in a mysterious and unacCountable way.
Yesterday morning two employees OF the
tug Constitution saw a negro by the
name of johnson trying 20 dispose of
some rope in a junk shop. They recog-
niZed the rope as belonging to the tug,
and reported the matter TO Capt. Il. NJ.
{. Smith. Capt. Smith went before Mag
istrate Molina, and had warrant issued
against johnson. The evidence being
against him, and failing to give the nee
cssary bond, johnson was committed to
Jail until the November term of the City
Court.
The last case disposed OF by the Mags-
trate was that OF Rlna Evans against
W AIDE Collins, both colored and living at
WoodVlle, on the Augusta road. Rina
had taken out warrant against Collins
charging him with assaulting her with a
gun on Friday of last week, Fully a
dozen witnesses were examined, and
nearly every one told different story.
Some swore that Collins struck at the
woman with the gun and some that he
did not, some that the gun was loaded
aud that he threatened to shoot her, and
others that the gun was not loaded and
that he did not attempt to shoot her.
Owing to the conflicting and contradict
tory nature OF the evidence the case was
dismissed.

Work on the Caroline Rivers.

Government work on the Saltkehatchie
river has now been resumed, and the
work on the Edisto river will be resumed
early next week. The work to be done
under the present appropriations for i'm
proving these rivers consists mainly in
removing the snags and roots from the
river beds, and in certain cases opening
what are known to the raftsmen as
''sucks." These are places where, during
nigh water, the river practically cuts
across point of land, causing the rats to
ground and in some cases to break up. 1t
is sometimes eXpedient TO open these
sucks; that is, to cut channel through
the point and stop up the main channel of
the river. The greater part Of the money
appropriated, however, will be expended
on the beds Of these rivers In clearing
them and removing the worst obstruc-
lions

The CentraPs New Locomotives.

Three new locomotives are now being
built in the Central railroad shops in this
city, and two others in the cOmpany's
shops in Macon for the Columbus and
Western railroad. The engines have four
driving wheels and are patterned after
engine 1873, built by the company last
year, They are coal burners. The Cen
trail railroad has built large number of
locomotives and all of them have proved
to be az good if not better than those
turned out by regular locomotive build
ers. 1t is a matter of great satisfaction to
those who are interested in the prosperi-
ty of Savannah to know that
such work as this, which keeps thousands
of dollars at home, is being done bv our
mechanics. Mr.. ID. D. Arden, the head

wor&men, a majority Of whom have spent
their lives in the employ OF the railroad.
