j. P. MERRIHEW'S GIFT.
Western Union Operators Remember
Their Late Manager.


Their Late Manager.
The employees of the Western Union tele-
graph Office gave ex-Manager j. P. Merri.
hew very pleasant and agreeable surprise
last night. Mr.. Merrihew has been recently
elected Superintendent of the Cotton Elk
change, and as last night was his last night
in harness, the boys concluded to show their
kindly feeling for him by token which
would convince him that in severing office
relations with him there is no severing OF
friendship.
AT o'clock Mr.. Merrihew was called into
the operators ROOM and his successor, Mr..
L. j. Maxwell, accompanied him. Mr..
Merihew was informed that the call was a
very urgent one. The operators, who had
previously licked off a notice abroad to
''hold up moment" surrounded Mr. Mer-
rihew, and chief operator Harry Zeigler ad-
vanced and said:
''Mr Merrihetc. AS it has always beeu pleas
ure to us to manifest our esteem for those whom
we have had the pleasure to recognize as man
ager of this Office in the past, and as you are
about to leave us for field of future prosperity
we, the employees of the Western Union Tele-
graph Office of Savannah, desire to present you
with slight token of appreciation for your
many kindnesses extended to us during your
management OF this Office. Every one of us
bids you regretful adieu, and may your future

the past.
Mr.. Zeigler then handed Mr.. Merrihew a
jewel case in which was a handsome pair
of solid gold sleeve buttons with the initial
IN" on the crest of each button, the surface
of the buttons being elegantly chased.
Mr.. Merrihew was considerably embar-
raised, ana there was culver of the lips as
he essayed to respond to the presentation.
He said that he was no speechmaker, but
that be was deeply impressed with the
token which was appreciated the more be-
cause he knew it came from the heart. For
this reason, he said, he would prize the gift
the more highly, and in accepting it, and
sunderlng official relations with the donors,
he most fully reciprocated the very kindly
expressions, and they could not wish him
any degree of prosperity that he did not
earnestly, heartily and sincerely wish them
After Mr.. Merrihew had concluded Their o
were some very hearty handshakes and indi-
vidual well wishes, during which Mr. Mer-
rihew slipped out, and after his return the
aroma of fine Havana cigars, which per
vaded the Western Union office, indicated
that he had set them up to the boys"

Nick Jones (coloredl was locked up yester-
day on a charge of breach of the
peace. Jones is employed by j. S. Col
lins & Co. as driver. On cash on delivery
packages, which he delivers, he is intrusted
with the collections. He was sent out Friday
afternoon with two packages, the charges
on which were 81 90. Jones collected the
money, and driving his team to the stables
put it up, and in company with a friend be-
gan to blow" in his employers money. He
did not show up at the Office until after 9
o'clock yesterday morning, when his en-
ployer's had hired another man In his place.
He entered the Office in an intoxicated con-
diIion, and when he was asked
about the money he mad col
lected he remarked that he had
spent it. Mr.. Collins gave him repri-
mand and told him he could get along
without his services. Jones was in a condi-
ton to do or say almost anything. AND be
was put out of the store, but this only in
creased his rage, and he fairly rent the air
with oaths. Justice Russell was notified
and he dispatched constable to the scene,
Jones was arrested and lodged in Jail, and
will be given hearing tomorrow.

a PITCHER FOR e. F. BRYAN.
Cotton Exchange Members Surpris,
Their Late superintendent.

Cotton Exchange Members Surprise
Their Late Superintendent.
AT 6 o'clock last night there was quite an
unusual gathering of members OF the cotton
exchange. The occasion was the presenta-
ton of a handsome and heavily chased
solid silver pitcher and goblets to E. F.
Bryan, Esq, the retiring superintendent
The presentation was complete surprise to
Mr.. Bryan, but as he afterwards expressed
it, he half suspected something when Mr..
Edward Karow summoned him from his
office and escorted him across the floor of
the exchange into the midst of group of
members
Vice President F. D. BIoodworth made
the presentation in a very neat and
appropriate speech. The genial super
lntendent was so much surprised and
Iment, unable to find words to reply,
but he soon did, in very
graceful manner, referring to his
long connection with the exchange as its
superintendent and the pleasant associations
with the members, thanking them for their
kindness and consideration and for their
kindly remembrance. Mr.. Bryan was
surrounded and congratulated by each
member. The pitcher bears the inscription:
"E. +. Bryan, from members of Savannah
Cotton Exchange, Sept. 20, 1885," and on
the goblets are the initials e. r. B.
Messrs. P. d. Daffin, w. I. Williams and
e. Karow conducted the presentation very
nicely and to the utmost qualification of the
members.

standing as to the date fixed for the cele-
bration of mass of requiem to mark the
termination of the jubilee year, many
persons thinking that the date was the
fourth Sunday in September. AS matter
or fact, the requiem mass will be celebrated
to-day, the last Sunday in the month, in the
Catholic churches throughout the world.
The mass will be for the repose of the souls
of all the faithful departed.
The event marks the close of the papal
jubilee, and will be of especial solemnity.
In his encyclical letter. Pope Leo grants to
all the faithful who will approach the sacra-
ment of penance and the holy eucharist on
to-day plenary indulgence that can be ap-
piled to the souls in purgatory. He also
grants to all the priests who win celebrate
mass the favor of the privileged altar. In
order to comply with this request of the
holy father all masses will be celebrated in
black.
Bishop Becker is out of the city, and
Father Cafferty will celebrate mass at the
cathedral at and 10 o'clock, the latter be-
ing the requiem mass. Father Bazin will
celebrate the mass at st. Patrick's church

After Two Years, Janitor Bryan Will
Drop it no More.
The time ball on the custom house will
not drop any longer until some provision is
made to pay man to attend to it. Janitor
William ]. Bryan has been attending to the
ball for two years without remuneration,
and he expresses an unwillingness to do SC
any longer if not reimbursed for his
services. The bali did not drop yesterday
as the wires were said to be out of order
and as it is never dropped on Sunday mari
ners will look in vain for it if the govern
ment or individuals do not put up fund.
Before the ball system was adopted the
jewellers used to pay the Western Union
Telegraph Company for the correct time
Since then they have regulated their
watches and clocks by the time ball.
Mariners also regulate their chronometers
by it. and at this season of the year it will
be widely missed among shipping and on
the Bay.
A gentleman in discussing the matter
yesterday said "the time ball is almost in.
dispensable to commerce, ard it ought to be
attended to. If the government won't ap.
propriate the funds to have the time ball
dropped daily, then q private subscription
ought to be raised"

"OllVette" by Colored Amateurs the
Only Performance.
The only performance at the theater this
week will be 'Olivette" by the colored anna
tours Tuesday night, for the benefit of the
yellow fever sufferers. A large house will
no doubt assist such worthy object.
Miss Louise Rial has Joined "Katti. the
Family Help" Company.
She" was lately produced in London
with Sophie Eyre, formerly at Wallack's
theater, as the Queen of Kor,n and In spite
of trio of adapters and the advice of the
author, proved itself a gigantic mistake.
The London Sunday Times says that ''She"
is totally lacking in living human interest,
and therefore impossible as q drama. To
Americans it may be interesting to know
that in spite of the play dragging it's weary
length through three and half hours, Mr.
Rider Haggard addressed the audience
from the box of the Gaiety theater.
Miss Minnie Dupree, the charming little
ingenue, who is playing "Susann with Gill
lette's chief Held by the Enemyn Com
pany, has made one of the hits of the sea-
son. She has captured the western heart
completely. The papers there are unani-
nous in their praise of her beauty and I'M
mistakable talents, and not night passes
that she does not receive curtain call.
Miss Dupree will be seen here before the
season is over, and next year she will have
play OF her own, which is being specially
written for her.
THE Quick or the Dead" is being re-
hearsed daily at the Fifth Avenue theater,
New York, by the Estelle Clayton com
pany.
Miss Rives is now at work on play to be
entitled 'Ethelwold" The plot is founded
on incidents in English history prior to the
reign of Henry II.
Tue advent of Miss Lydia Thompson and
her burlesque company of rosy checked Eng
lish lassies is being eagerly looked for by
the young men who have critical eyes for
beauty on the other side of the footlights.
