MOI QUITE AsPHYXIATED.

Another Marshall House Ledger Under
the influence Of Water Gas.
John j. Longus, registering from Sylvia
MIA, made desperate attempt to enroll his
name upon the list of asphyxia victims
Thursday night at the Marshall House. He
had imbibed freely before going to bed, and
yesterday morning chambermaid in the
hotel imagined that she detected the odor of
gas issuing from bis room. The door was
hurst in and the maid thought she beheld in
the snoring man ia bed full 1edged we'll
developed case Of aggravated asphyxia 1t
was hard TO tell which had the mastery, the
fumes of gas or the fumes Of whisky.
The hotels asphyxia doctor was sum
moned and the man was with little diff
Guilty aroused from his slumbers He
dressed himself, went down stairs, took a
matutinal cocktail and went about his bust
ness all right.
the opinion exists that these asphyxia
victims do not always blow out the gas. 1t
is more than probable that the asphvxia
victim seeks his room after he has imbibed
about all the intoxicants he can hold He
is half dragged up to his room by an at
tendant and left to take care of himself
After undressing as much as he is able he
undertakes to put out the gas. He turns it
off and docs not remove his hand until his
swaying body has caused him to turn the
button back and the gas on again.

Why He Votes Yes.

Editor Morning Nelos: One of the OBJ
iections that is being urged against turning
the old cemetery over to the city or the
county is that there is a possibility that a
new court house or some other public build
ing may be built by reason of said transfer
| think that that is good reason why it
should be done If there is any city where
respectable public buildings are more
needed than in Savannah |
don't know where it is. Such buildings
will not only add to the appearance of the
city, but their construction will give en-
ploymeno to many deserving mechanics
Buildings or no buildings, the old cemetery
should be made public park. where the
dead will rest forever beneath its sod, free
from all danger of being disturbed few
years hence by the place being cut up by
streets and sold off as building lots. AS a
matter of fact, however, the public build
ings don't depend on the election to-day. |
want the cemetery protected, and to that
end propose to vote the ticket on which is
printed YES.

THE FIGHT AT THE POLLS.
THE OLD CEMETERY ISSUE TO BE
DECIDED TODAY.

Both Sides Waking Up at the Last
Moment-The General Sentiment in
Favor ofPutting the Cemetery in New
Hands-The Arrangements at the
Court House.
A few days ago, it looked as though the
election to decide the future of the old
cemetery would either not be held or there
would be only few ballots cast 1t was
not supposed that a question so important
to the future welfare of the city would
meet with much opposition, but there is no
telling what issues can be made up on which
TO fight ballot-box battle
Those who favor the city's havi-g abso-
lutte control Of the old place and putting it
in order, or permitting the county b do it,
were so confident of the rightfulness of their
side Of the question that they thought it un-
necessary to make any preparations. The
opponents of the measure however, having
organized in "A small way, those in favor OF
1t find 10 necessary to do the same.
A curious circular was issued Yesterday
in the interest of those opposed 10 the move
ment. Tie writer was evidently not
posted as he made several statements which
only exist in his vivid Imagination One of
the little fables to mislead voters was one to
the effect that the tax payers had just been
assessed to Fay for a 600 jail, when the
truth of the matter is the new jail was Guilt
with funds raised years ago and the sale Of
the old jail property.
A canvass of the city yesterday showed
that the sentiment of the people is over
whelmingly in favor of the cemetery being
put under the care of the city, and apparent
ly all that is necessary is for the voters to
turn out and go to the polls to decide the
issue.
The election to-day promises to be lively
one. Everything IS in readiness at the
court house TO receive the votes. The fol
lowing is the disposition of the boxes, man
ayers, etc:
Box No. | will be at the York street en-
trance of the Court House. and will receive

THE JASPER FESTIVAL.
The General Committee Meets and
Talks Over the Finances.

The General Committee Meets and
Talks Over the Finances.
The General Committee of the Jasper
Festival turned out in very goodly numbers
last night, considering that there was a
wrestling match at the theatre
Col. Garrard, the chairman, being de-
tanned by important legal business, Col.
Mercer was called to the chair. The chair
man of the Finance Committee, Capt.
Flannery. made a report in regard to sub
scriptions, from which it appeared that
the subcommittee have not met
with the success that should have
attended their efforts Those who should
have been liberal contributors because they
will probably receive greater individual
benefit from the festival, have given little
or nothing. The committees, however,
have not all reported, and it was impossible
TO estimate the exact amount that had been
subscribed
There was considerable discussion in he.
gard TO the subscriptions Also as to ex-
penditures which resulted in the adoption
of a resolution requesting each committee
to report to the Executive Committee by
next Tuesday an estimate of their prot able
expenditures and that the Executive Com
Inittee call meeting of the General Com
lnittee for Wednesday evening to hear the
reports.
There is no question about the celebration
heirg a success, the only question is how
great q success it shall be.

ROSS THROWS THE GREEK
THE sCoTCHMAN GETS TWO FALLS
OUT OF THREE.

A Struggle Between Giants and the
Scot Wins-The Greek a Powerful
Antagonist and a Sclenced Wrestler
He Wins Catch-as-Catch-Can, but
Loses Greco Roman and Collar and
Elbow-Another Match Probable.
A thousand people saw Duncan c. Ross
throw Greek George, the famous wrestler,
twice in succession at the Theatre last night.
II was a tussle between giants, and the
Scotchman won. The Theatre was filled,
upstairs and down, when the cur
tain was run up. The galleries
were hacked. "Billy' Taylor was
master of ceremonies, and he announced
that the wrestlers had agreed upon SerGt.
Walsh as referee.
After half an hours sparring by quar-
tette of "black diamonds the wrestlers
were announced. Greek George tripped
upon the stage and Ross walked quietly
ont. and both we're introduced to
the audience. The men were
stripped to the waist Both stood for a
moment waiting the referees call. Billy
TAYLOR acted as the Greeks second and
Ross second was Mr. Hume.
The ndIC0 was IuIte IOuHuS NTNSLlGu 10
a finish Each wrestler had the choice of
one style, and the third style was decided
by toSs-up.
The Greek chose catch -as-catch-can, and
he proved too much for the Scotchman and
won the first fall in 9S< minutes. 1t was a
tremendous struggle and the Greek had the
best of it from the start. Finally, by half
Nelson he lifted the Scotchman up and
threw him bodily to the floor
There was wait of fifteen minutes before
the second round. The Scot had his choice
of style, and he choose Greco- Roman. The
struggle began as soon as the men clasped
hands, and it lasted nine minutes, when
Ross, by a tremendous effort. put the Greek
down and thought he had the fall. The
referee decided against him, however, and
after a moments rest the struggle was re
newed. This time the Scot made short
work of his adversary and in four minutes
he had him squarely down. The audience
cheered and shouted "Hurrah, Ross, till it
was hoarse.
The third round was the toss up for the
style, and Ross won. He choose collar and
elbcw-a sidehOld in harness. This settled
the Greek He had never wrestled in that
way, he said. and in less than three minutes
the Scot threw him. He would have thrown
him in less time had not the Greek broken
his hold in the harness
When the final round was finished the
audience shouted and the gallery roared.
Greek George jumped in front of the cur
tain and challenged the Scot TO another
match. Ross accepted his challenge for
$3.50, to wrestle here within a week,
but the match was not arranged
The Greek says that he is not
satisfied with the result Of the match He
says he can do Ross i'll catch-as- catch-can
match any day, and he desires it stated that
he will match Ross for $500 in wrestle of
that style in Atlanta, Macon or Augusta
He seems TO think he has odds against him
here on account Of Ross's personal popular
jty in the city.

The Steamship Storra Lee Infected
with SMALLPOX and Sent to Sapelo.
Three days ago a sick seaman was re-
moved to the hospital from the British
steamship Storra Lee, which arrived here
on Dec % from Baltimore. The case has
since developed into smallpox and the
patient was transferred to the smallpox
hospital. The Captain of the vessel has
written to the quarantine officer. The health
officer of the port says, that
there had been no sickness on board during
the voyage from Algeria to Savannah. 1t
now turns out that there was a seaman sick
on board during the voyage from Algeria
to Baltimore, and that this man had an
eruption. The captain now acknowledges
an eruption. This, the health officer says,
is an evidence of the dependence to be
placed on the statements of captains. The
Storra Lee has been ordered to Sapelo.
