Railroad Clatter.

Circular 270. just issued by the Southern
passenger association, and adopted at the
Virginia Beach meeting on JUNE 10 and 20,
announces rate of one lowest unlimited
fare over all roads in the southern associa-
ton to all points, on account of the Fourth
of July. These reduced rate tickets will
be on sale July 2, 3 and 4, limited to July
Z. 1t has been the customary thing for
years to make this rule for the Fourth Of
July, because workingmen and others who
are granted a holiday on that occasion
usually want to 'go somewhere" and they
want to go as cheap as possible. The result
is, that every year thousands of people take
advantage of the low rates, and the Golfers
of the railroads do not suffer by 1t.
1t is reported, and in a great many in
stances beloved, that the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia will get control Of
the Montgomery and Florida, by the sale
on July 12, under Judge Bruce's decree. It
is reasoned that should the East Tennessee
people build into Montgomery from the
north, which is more than probable they
will naturally want an outlet, and the
Montgomery and Florida would go long
ways toward giving them what they want
IL is also said that the connection OF Judge
Granville Halves, who is one of the attor-
neys of the East Tennessee road, with the
suit is significant. He is intimately con-
nected with the lease and fixed up a good
deal of tho work.

Political Stir.

The democratic convention having met
and nominated their men for the first
honors of this country, the attention of the
whole United States is now conferred on the
republican convention, to be held June 10Th,
at Chicago, to see who will be the oppo-
nents of CLEVELAND and THURMAN
Until this matter has been thoroughly can
vassed and the result shown, the attention
of the citlzons Of Savannah is attracted not
only to the campaign of NORWOOD and
GORDON, but also TO the fine stock of Shoes,
and Slippers kept by A. S. Cohen, at 1897
Broughton street. These combined facts
are sacb as to continually keep the minds of
our people in a political stir.

WINDING UP THE TERM.
OWL and Criminal Matters in the City
Court.

Civil and Criminal Matters in the City
Court.
To-day is the last day Of the term in the
city court, and the petit jurors were dis
charged for the term yesterday. The
criminal docket was not gone through, and
both the civil and criminal dockets will be
called to-day Several cases went over for
the term. The following business was
transacted Yesterday:
Allen Fields, for the larceny of ten
punches of Ash from Sarah Mcqueen, was
sentenced to six months On the chain-gang.
Edward Ellis, for the larceny Of canta-
loupe, OF Che value of 10c., the property of
Fletcher A. Exley, was sentenced to the
chain-gang for ten months. Evidently the
intent of the defendant had something to do
with the severity of tho sentence. Exley
had lost about 300 melons and began to
watch his patch. During one of his vigils
he saw Ellis enter the patch, and as Ellis
gathered the first melon Exley gathered
him i'll, prosecuted him, and Ellis will eat
no more melons this season.
In the case of John H.. Powers VS.. the
Savannah, Dublin and Western railroad,
the plaintiff was awarded q verdict of
sl.S93 50. This was an action on q contract
and account.
Counsel for defendant filed motion for
new trial III the damage suit of Gugie
Bourquin VS.. the Savannah and Ogeechee
canal, and a supersedeas was taken, the
motion going over for the term.

WATCHING THE BULLETINS.
The Crowds That Got the FIRST News
from Chicago.

Everybody wanted TO know the result
yesterday Of the Chicago convention, and
The bulletins at the MORNING NEWS build
ing and at the Western Union telegram
otfics were closely watched all day by
crowds Of people. 1t was evident that
something would be done, and everybody
wanted TO know what that something was
10 be. Most people thought that
Blaine was going to DO nominated, but
the situation began TO change early In the
forenoon, and when the bullstin "Harri-
son nominated was posted nobody was very
much surprised.
There was good deal less enthusiasm in
Savannah over the nomination than there
was In Chicago There was not
even a cheer among the repub-
licans who had stood in front of the
bulletins since early in the forenoon,
They all said, though, that they are salts
fed with the nomination. aud when late in
the afternoon, Mortons nomination for the
vice presidency was bulletined they agreed
thai tie convention had put up the winning
ticket.
We are going 10 elect anybody that is
nominated, it don't matter who IL is,"
aid a republican leader 10 a crowd
at the Western Union Office while waiting
for the convention to do something. The
little speech didn't get up much enthusiasm,
though, which IS wanting among Georgia

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT WORKS.
Increase of the Inoandescent Lights In
the City to 1000,

increase OF the lncendeSCent Lights In
the City to 1000.
The work of repairing the dynamo dam
aged by Sundays lightning stroke was
going on Yesterday. The electric light
works are supplied with three incandescent
and three arc dynamos, only two of zach
being operated at time, the extra dynamos
to each system being kept in reserve for
such eKigencies as that Of Sunday night.
Sdpt. Keck in an interview with q MORN
ING NEWS reporter says that there are 1853
are lights now III use, and when present
orders arc filed there will be about 1900 in
candescent lights in uss in the city. Two Of
Of the hotels are having incandescent lamps
placed In all the rooms and are discarding
gas. The dynamos are revolved at a very
high rate Of speed and one breathes a sigh
Of relief after leaving the room, which ia
dazzling with the electricity that sparkles
with a white, blush and wicked fame
about the machinery. The wires are copper
and very heavily insulated. 1t is very diff
cult to break them and it is very rarely that
one gets out of order.
Mr.. Keck says that the lightning arrest
ers do not perfectly perform the work for
which they were intended, and he cites the
fact that the electric light lines have been
struck three times this season, in each In
stancs the electric current running into
dynamo and destroying its effectiveness.

The Best Time to Buy valuables.


This Is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes--but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we WiU sell re1'y
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence of
Ladies' fine Cold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelry, etc.
All Of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall--buy the
presents you intend to give noo. They
will keep, and you will save money

PANIC AMONG ooLoRED PEOPLE.
An Unfounded Report of an Accident
to an Excursion Train.

An Unfounded Report of an Accident
to an Excursion Train.
A sensational rumor was in circulation
yesterday afternoon that by an accident to
the train which took the colored excursion
sts to Jacksonville yesterday morning,
fifty were killed outright, and others were
injured. A lot Of weeping colored women
who had relatives on the train visited the
depot to find there was no foundation for
the T1Irnor, but some Of them did not cease
their bysterical sobbing on their way back
As a matter OF fact, the crowd that went
10 Jacksonville was SO great that some were
turned off aud their money returned, and
they piled into one car, sitting in each
others laps, until the strain was thought to
be too great upon the springs of the coach,
and it was uncoupled, many reluctantly
turning bacx. The roorback Is said to have
originated in Yamacraw. Inquiry at the
rail Dad yard last night proved that no one
was hurt, and no car had been derailed, as
reported.
