MRS. POsTELL'S BENEFIT.
Last Nights Concert at the Theater-
A Pleasing entertainment.

The complimentary benefit rendered Mrs
Porcher Postell by her musical friends was
given in the presence of refined and APP
preciative audience at the Theater last
night. The first number on the programme
was a piano duet, admirably rendered by
Prof. Steward and Miss Coburn. This was
followed by the song IT'S ], !" by Pinsuti,
rendered by Mr.. J. c. Postell, who received
a generous applause.
Miss Lazaron's singing of the vocal aria
"Mignon," by Thomas, was much enjoyed
The applause that followed her rendition
Of "Mignon" compelled her to reappear and
sing again, when she chose Helmund's
vocal gem, "Tne Daily Question" which
she gave with true precision and spiri

As was expected, Mrs Postell carried OFF
the chief honors of the evening. She was

Her singing of La Separations, %
by Rossini, was also an unequivocsl
success. In response to an encore she
gave Bonnie Mary Of Argyle with
charm and pathos. The compass of her
voice Is somewhat remarkable in its extent,
and the upper notes possess birdlike bril-
liancy that captiyates the ear. Her sing

Mr.. Il. Z. Rebarer captured the audience
with his singing Of Scudere's "Dormi Pure, "
but he would not be encored.
quntette of two zithers, violonccllo,

WANT A NOON SIGNAL.
Movement to Have the Big Duke
Struck at IL O'clock.

NC->
The resolution Of Alderman Thomas in
the Council Wednesday night, looking to
the adoption of a midday signal TO be
struck on the "big duke" seems 70 meet
with general favor. Mr. Thomas, in an in
terview with a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday, said that there is something of
the kind needed There are many people
who do not carry a timepiece and many
who are employed about the city who turn
out at that hour and noon signal will be
great accommodation to them 1t will also
be desirable thing for housekeepers, who
can keep the family clock regulated by the
noon signal, the clock in the City Exchange
being regulated by the drop ball on the
custom house
Major Schwarz, chairman of the Fire
Committee, to which MIR. Thomas resolu-
ton was referred. said last night that he has
not given the matter much thought He
favors it, however, and will endeavor to
have a conference with Alderman Thomas
to-day to learn the views of the latter more
fully, and hear what suggestions he has to
make to the committee to aid it in fOrmuat-
ing its report. Major Schwarz sa that
the cost, if any, of striking the bell, will be
very small. His idea is TO have the "big
duke" strike twelve with the Exchange
clock.
proposition embraced in Alderman Thomas
resolution, and there seems to be little
doubt that the Fire Committee Will report
favcrably, and the big duke" will soon
ring out the twelve hours at noon with the
clocks in the City Exchange aud the hide
pendent Presbyterian church.
Speaking of city clocks and fire bells Mr..
Thomas said tho bell in the Presbyterian
church struck different notes at alternate
taps. Abiding TO the rapid growth of the
city, Mr.. Thomas said the need of bell in
the southern part of the city is becoming
more apparent every day.
He talked very entertainingly upon other
subjects connected with the city's affairs,
and more particularly the matter of street
improvement. The Council, he said,
seemed to be considering and acting in
earnest i'll street improvements, and that it
is now ready to receive bids for continuing
the asphalt pavement on the east end OF
Broughton street, and paving Liberty street
with a double asphalt pavement, that is an
asphalt pavement on both roadways.
Referring to the progress of the work of
street numbering, Mr.. Thomas said that
the canvass of the city numbers had been
completed, but that ali the data has not yet
been turned over to the painters.

The Major intimated that If he does
decide to take hold of it he will see that the
machinery goes up in good shape, and he
rather regretfully alluded to a single Incl
dent which has prevented him from being
worth round $3.50, 900. Maj. Schwarz did
not think another ice company will not be
a safe investment lie said that the city is
growing not o Ily rapidly, but steadily. 1t
is, he thinks, n solid boom that has visited
Savannah without any flourish of trumpets,
and another ice factory is only keeping
pace with the demands of a growing city,
and VIII not only result in cheapening a
necessary commodity, but will provide the
needful storage for perishable articles of
every day use.

Morse's Case Continued and Detective
Wetherhorn on Ills Way Home.
The prediction of the MORNING NEWS
yesterday that Detective Wetherhorn did
not go to Toronto on Wednesday last to see
what would be the result of the Morse trial
was verified by telegram received from
Mr.. Wetherhorn yesterday, sent from New
York city, announcing that Morse's case
has been continued, and that Detective
Wetherhorn would leave New York last
night for Savannah. 1t is unnecessary to
state that Morse will not accompany him.
Mrs. Wetherhorn received letter from
her husband yesterday, 50 she informed a
MORNING NEWS reporter last night, in
which he stated that h. had been quite sick
with a fever which had confined him to his
room for two or three days, but that he was
couvaiescent. He said nothing about re-
turning home Evidently he reached the
conclusion to come home vest rlay, after
satisfying himself that there was little hope
of friendly action by the Canadian courts
Tho fact was corroboratod yesterday that

ALMOST A BIG FIRE.

A Drunken Man Knocks Over a Lamp
ard Sets Fire to His Home.
An alarm of fire was turned in from box
No. as, at Huntingdon and Price streets, a
few minutes before 10 o'clock last night.
Two engines responded, but the flames were
extinguished by neighbors before the
department arrived at the scene of the fire.
The fire was caused by an exploding lamp
in the house of Emile Pollard, living at the
corner of Gwinnett and Price streets. Pol
lard's wife had prepared supper for her
husband and went to church, leaving q
lamp burning for him. He came in shortly
after she had gone, in an intoxi-
Gated condition, overturned the lamp
and went out, leaving it on
the floor. The neighbors, seeing the
blaze, ran across the street and extinguished
it, Had they been a moment later the
damage might have been great. Pollard
was arrested and taken to The barracks
The damage by the fire is slight. Chief
Fernandez ia running through the engine
house when the alarm sounded, fell against
a chain stretche across a stable to prevent
the horses from going out, and was quite
seriously hurt. He was picked up in an
almost unconscious condition, but the fire
men placed him in his gig and he arrived at
the fire before the alarm had ceased strik-
ing

THE NEW CHEF OF POLICE.
The Public Satisfied with the Elec
tion-The Assistant Chiefship.

The Public Satisfied with the Elec-
tion-The Assistant Chiefship.
The election Of Lieut.. John Green as
Chief of Police was the general topic OF
talk in the city yesterday, and the express
sion in the main was that he had deserved
promotion by long continued service.
The police force were the first 10 discuss
the matter and the election Of Lieut. Green
seemed to please them. Some of them held
that il would have been very diseouraging
TO have had a civilian put over them-one
unacquainted with the routine work Of the
service, and one who had not been subjected
TO the discipline or dangers of police work.
They look upon Lieut.. Green's election as
precedent indicating that hereafter promo
Jions will follow, and the incentive to faith
full duty will have favorable effect upon
the police force as a body
The defeated candidates took the result
good-naturedly. They recognized in adj
vance that they were making an uphill
fight and were prepared for defeat. Tho
contest was devoid of all bitterness and
-acrimoniousness, and as good feeling per
vaded the canvass the final result did not
destroy it, Lieut.. Green was subjected to
a vigorous hand shaking whenever he ap-
peared upon the street, and nearly every
one who met him congratulated him.
The question was very generally discussed
with reference to an Assistant Chief, and
those familiar with police affairs argue
that Council would not act wisely if it
abolishes the Office. They claim that in
the case of the illness or enforced absence
of the Chief an assistant is necessary, and
that there is large correspondence by
mail ami telegraph to be attended to, be-
SIDE many other qualifications duties, which
so thoroughly absorb the time of the Chief,
that for more effective control and direc-
ton of the force the Chief should have an
assistant to whom he can delegate PORTION
of the work The drift of opinion seems to
be decidedly in favor of retaining the office
of Assistant Chief, and having tue vacancy
filled SO that the administration Of Lieut..
Green will be more effective and not suffer
by comparison with that Of his predecessor.
