Information Bearing Upon it Solicited.
SAVANNAH, Feb. 4.--Editor Morning
Necs: In advocating the suggestion
THAT loans of pictures for exhibition
in the Telfair Academy during the
Jasper Festival be solicited from citi-
zens," you say in your issue of this morn
ing: "A great many very fine and valuable
paintings are owned in this city. Some of
them doubtless could be obtained for few
days for the academy
As TO time is to be lost, I hasten to say to
yourself, and, through your kind instru-
mentality, to your correspondent, Mr.. sc
Menelas," and all others who may be inter
ested in the matter, that | will submit your
editorial and his communication to the
managers of the Telfair Academy, at a
meeting to be held ON the afternoon of
Thursday or Friday, next, expressing my
conviction that those gentlemen will be
grateful to yourself and to Mr.. Menelas,
and to any and all other citizens, who in the
meanwhile, will give them practical aid by
the tender of desirable pictures, or by di-
recting their attention to the persons who
own, and who might be willing to lend
them.
Communications on the subject should be
addressed to the directors of the Academy.
Respectfully yours.
HENRY r. JACKSON,
President of the Board

High Places.

Besides the White House at Washington
and the Executive Mansions of many of our
States, the Knabe Pianos grace and cheer
the homes of many Of our own aristocratic
and wealthy citizens. The preference seems
to be given to the Knabe Grands which are
unequalled by any piano made in the world.
We have placed a number CT this style
within the past few months, all of which
we have authority to say have given entire
satisfaction and delight. The Upright
Knabe is a gem, and must be heard to be
appreciated. We also carry a line of their
Squares, which are preferred by some. Our
prices and terms are as liberal as instru-
ments of their merit will allow See us, OF

The Jasper Festival.

This great event in the history of Savan-
nah is rapidly approaching. Every citizen
is expected to do all in his power to make
it a grand and glorious success. At similar
celebrations elsewhere, every house and
place of business has been elaborately deco,
rated with flags and lanterns. There is nc
reason why Savannah should be behind her
sister cities in this respect We have Just
received Fifteen Hundred Dollars worth of
Flags and Lanterns. suitable for decorating
on this occasion. 1t would be well for those
intending to decorate to make their selec-
tons from our stock early, so as to avoid
the rush and depletion of assortment. Our
prices and quality of goods are guaranteed.

Continue the Paving.

Editor Morning Ne,cS: 1t is rumored
that there is a probability of Broughtor
street not being asphalted, as every one ha.
been led to expect. The trouble, it is said
is owing to City Council requiring the
asphalt company to do the work in thirty
days under a penalty of $50 per day for
every day after the expiration of that time
aud other unnecessary requirements
Whether this is so or not, there appears tC
be some obstacle in the way of the work
being done. 1t is almost the unanimous
wish of the people OF this community that
the Broughton street pavement he com.
pleted, and it is to be hoped that the city
authorities will not stop it by imposing un.
necessary conditions. b. b.

1t is conceded fact that when Altmayer

rely on the goods being exactly as repre-
scented. They will have two great attrac-
lions this week First will be the continual
ton of the Great Platshek Bankrupt Sale,
of which in last weeks sale they disposed of
a little over one-half of this great stock, and
this week offer some marvellous bargains in
goods that they found impossible to display
before. The next attraction will be their
unprecedented Embroidery Sale. They

Savannah. Altmayer's is the place omake

TO FIGHT THE SALE
The Central's Hold on the Savannah
and Griffin Road

i 10 CSAAJIdI > hOll On Juo savannah
and Griffin Road.
The minority stockholders of the Savan-
nah, Griffin and North Alabama railroad
have got an injunction on the Central
people to prevent their selling out the
Griffin road The idea is to force the road
into the hands of a receiver and secure a
settlement from the Central, which has
been running the property for so many
years.
The MORNING NEWS announced several
days ago that the Centfals proposition to
buy the minority stock of the Savannah.
Griffin and North Alabama at 81 80 per
share had expired, and that Gen. Alexander
said the foreclosure proceedings would now
be pushed. There seems to be a hitch some
where, and a big legal contest is looming up
w. f. II. Searcy, acting for the minority,
II seems, has been buying up stock at the
same price that the Central has been paving
and offered the Central the same price +
what it held. This the Central refused to
accept. Mr. Searcy at once filed a
bill in Atlanta to enjoin the foreclosure
Of the mortgage bonds of the road,
and asking the court to cancel certain
parts OF il alleged Indebtedness and
appoint a receiver 10 run the road
in the interest Of the stockholders, instead
of the Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany and West Point Railroad Company,
viii, II IS controlled by the Central. The
bill makes many charges Of mismanage-
me8t and willful diversion of freight in
order to break down the road and buy il in
for nothing. All minority stockholders
who have not sold their stock are invited 10
join in the suit, or their stock will be
purchased, as they prefer
There is proposition before Cen Alex
andpr and his directors made nv the mi
nority stockholders. 10 buy out Central's
interest in the road, paying the amount d e
them and 81 20 per snare for their stock
An answer Is expected by the middle of this
month. Meantime the bill stops the fore
closure. II the Central sells the bill will be
Withdrawn, Of course. If not, the suit will
be prosecuted.

Sewer Laid.
The Market Committee of the City Coun-
Gil has in contemplation some very i'm
portant and much needed improvements to
the market building. and they will in all
probability be carried out Immediately
after the Jasper Festival The paint brush
is to be literally used, and what has been
heretofore great nuisance to those occu-
pying the basement is to be abated, j. e.,
the overlooking of their floors at every
hard rain. The sewer pipe that
serves the Market basement is at present
connected with the Broughton street sewer
and there is not enough fall for il to do
proper service. 1t is proposed to remedy
this by running an independent sewer from
the Market basement TO the trap at the foot
of Barnard street and thence into the river
Alderman Reid, chairman of the commit
