BASE BALL NEWS.
Probability OF a Six Club League in
the South.


1t is now pretty well decided that there
will be no Southern League Club in Lonis-
vile, Ky, this year. The Arbitration Com
mittee, TO which was referred the question of
placing a Texas League Club in New Orleans,
has decided that before this can be done the
consent OF the League already in possession
Of the field must be first obtained, and il is
altogether improbable that theAmerican As
ISOLATION would consent to having Southern
League Club in Louisville There is no
further hope, therefore, of the Southern
League having more than a six club circuit
unless Jacksonville, Fla, should decide to
come in.
Base ball is on a boom in Florida. A club
has just been organized in jacksonville. 1t
has strong financial backing and Is going to
build new grounds. Jacksonville, with
Mobile, Montgomery or Nashville, would
give the Southern League an excellent eight
club circuit and it is said that il only re-
quires a little persuasion on the part of
President Wilson to brin5 the Floridians
into the fold.
Atlanta and Chattanooga are not working
very energetically. Neither of them has a
manager engaged yet or has finished getting
subscriptions to its stock They have only
about two months in which to get their
teams together. Atlanta will have to do
some tall hustling between now and April |
if she expects to win the pennant of 1888.
The preliminary base ball season will be
opened III New Orleans next Sunday.

Civil Service Plums Not Much of a

Civil Service Plums Not Much of a
Loadstone for Savannahians.
The United States Court room was occu
pied yesterday by Chief Examiner Niver,
special agent of the Civil Service Commits
sion, and Postmaster Lamar, who were ex-
aiming young lady applicant for position
in the government service. 1t was ex-
pected that there would he a number to be
examined, but owing TO some causa or other
there was but one-a young lady, who took
the limited examination. The limited ex-
animation is for the lowest grade which is

5000
Mr.. Niver goes from here to Macon to-
morrow, where he will hold an examina-
ton, from which place he will go to Column

back to Washington
These examinations are conducted from

day the examination takes place, and the
unused blanks, together with the papers
used by the applicants, are placed in reg
istered package and sent back to Washing

the national capital. When there is a va
cancy four names are offered, selected from
those who have stood the best examination.

DIDN'T LEAVE A MARK.

A Nine-Ton Load Does Not Make a
Dent in the Asphalt Pavement.
The hauling of the granite pedestal for
the Jasper monument through the city to
Madison square was pretty thorough test
for the paved streets. The pedestal weighs
very nearly nine tons. 1t was so placed on
a truck that two-thirds of the weight rested
on the hind wheels 1t took twentv-six
horses to haul the load through the unpaved
streets, fourteen horses on the Drayton
street cobblestOue pavement, and eight over
the BroughtOn street asphalt pave
ment. The wheels of the truck sunk
up TO the hubs in the sand, and it was all
that the thirteen double teams could do to
move the load at all, and even then very
slowly. The tremendous load did not make
a dent or leave the slightest impression ON
the asphalt pavement, and that is about as
thorough a test rs it could be expected to
stand. The hauling was done by Moran.
The stone is called the die, and it is the
heaviest stone in the monuments founda-
ton. 1t was unlOaded i'll the square yeSter-
day, and will be hoisted to its place this
morning. On its four sides will be the bas
relief panels of bronze, which are said to be
works of art, and as finely executed as any
similar work ever cast in this country.
But four more pieces of the pedestal re
main TO be raised, when the work will be
ready for the bronze statue, which is ex-
pected TO arrive on Feb. Is, and which will
be in position by Feb. Is. The criticisms of
artists VINO have had opportunities of in
specting the various parts of the monument
arc very favorable, and the public may con-
tidently expect to see monument of which
every citizen of Savannah will be proud.

TINY CHARLToN's MURDER.
Two OF His Slayers to be Tried in the
SuperiOr Court To-Day

Two OF his SlayerS TO be Tried IN the
Superior Court To-Day.
The trial Of Tom Green and Jim Cook for
the murder of Tiny Charlton, will begin in
the Superior Court this morning Charlton
was killed on Saturday night Aug 20, on
the Ogeechee road, near the three mile post
Of the Charleston and Savannah
road. At this place there is
small settlement of coored
people, most of the men working on the ad-
jacent plantations A party of city negroes
went out to assist at "A church festival, held
there on the night of the murder. Bad
characters and bad whisky made cOmbi-
nation that soon put the church in the
minority, and a sort of free fight was
started Tiny Charlton tried to stop a fight
between two women, but got a blow or two
for his pains, and after the women were
separated bad feeling was kept alive all
the evening. Whisky was plentiful and
quarrels were numerous.
Finally the crowd broke up and started
out on the road TO 90 home Charlton was
knocked down by Tom Green and Berry
Cook stabbed him in the throat with a
small pen knife Charlton's wife had lust
then appeared on the scene and attempted to
rescue him and get hun safely home He
was then very weak from the effects of the
blow and the stab, and she had to support
him all the way. When about half way to
his house he was again assaulted by Jim
Cook and William Taylor.
Charlton's head was resting over on his
wifes shoulder, and Taylor, drawing keen
razor, drew it from the back of his neck
clear around till the blade struck the jaw
bone, almost severing the head from the
body
Tom Green and Cook were the only ones
concerned in the killing who have been APP
pretended, and their trial will begin to-day
