piece of machinery, which we shall be
pleased to have our friends call and
see, when in operation. We cannot
refrain from making the purchase of
this new press an occasion to tender
to our patrons both advertisers and
subscribers our hearty thanks for the
favors they have shown the News
since it was first bantling. We
desire also permission to say in good

will find the NEWS an admirable ad-
vertising medium. and hope to see
them in our columns among the good
company which sparkle there daily.
We again call attention to the fact
that the NEWS is one of the prettiest
printed papers In Texas, the paper
good, the type the best to be had, the
newest form and with not a defective
letter in it. We think all Will agree
with us in the assertion that our dis

those who die in the meantime will
not miss 1t when it comes off.

U,HATLOST 7HE ELECTION.

Cleveland's policy in keeping re.
publlcans in fat offices had much to
do with the defeat of the party. Civil

well, but in practice makes man

fed, in fat offices and sitting by warm
fires in the winter, while tens of
thousands of democrats, just as smart
and just as good. stood outside gauut,
hungry and shivering, was enough to
disgust and it did disgust the masses.
1t aleviated the affections from the
one who could permit it and gave
him the reputation OF being cold.

maudlin sentiment at best. If the
people vote for a democratic admin.
istration and elect it they want it from
A. to Z. If it is worth while to have
a democratic president and demo-
cratic congress, it is worth while to
have democratic postmaster at the
smallest cross roads postoffice. What
is sauce for the gander is sauce also
for the goose. and if democracy is
good in big things it is also good in
little. The election of democratic
government is what the people voted
in November, 1884, and yet from
1854 to 1883 the government was a
mongrel, democratic and republican,
mixed, mugwump, conglomerate.

$26 Given Away to Cash Buyers.
On and after the 1st day Of August, 1888,
we will offer and carry into effect the fol-
lowing unparalleled inducement to strict

Every purchaser to the amount of 81 in
cash at our store under the Guards
Armory, will be entitled to q ticket, which
will constitute a number in a drawing 10
take place Oct list, at which time IS silver
dollars will be divided between the lucky
holders The drawing will be arranged as
follows:
The purchaser shall receive ticket with

with duplicate number The duplicate
shall be deposited in strong box and the
purchaser shall hold the original. On the
LIST of October the box shall be opened, and
the first twenty-five numbers drawn there
from shall be entitled to one silver dollar
each.
No doubt our less enterprising competi-
tors will say: "Oh, that's easy enough
they charge You higher prices for goods
than we do, and hence are enabled to make
you this Offer All we say, in reply, is:
Price goods anywhere in town before YOU

A WATCH THIEF's STORY.

His Statement in the Dock Secures q
Suspension of His Sentence.
Frank Hamilton. convicted of burglary
at the June term of the superior court, was
arraigned yesterday, and Judge Adams
sentenced him to four years, but almost
Immediately after withdrew the sentence,
which will not appear of record, and con-
tinued the motion for new trial for the
term. Hamilton was tried and convicted
for stealing watch belonging to Arthur

After being sentenced yesterday the pris-
oner asked permission TO make statement,
and consent having been given, the prisoner
went on to say that he had not been Justly
dealt with. The prosecuting witness, he
said, had not kept faith with him. He had

gestion of the prosecuting witness 70 get
the reward, and that he had been promised
immunity, and that the witness would stand
by him. The same party, he said, had been
implicated in other affairs of the kind, in
some of which the participants were now
in the penitentiary.
The court sent for the solicitor general,
stating that he could not fail to take official
notice of the statement, although 1t was al

THE SURFACE WELLS MUST 90.

Fourteen to be Dismantled This Week
Six New A rtesian Wells Suggested
The surfare wells must go, and two have
already gone, tie pumps at Liberty and
Wheaton streets, and at Bolton and East
Broad streets, having been replaced by
hydrants.
Supt. A n Miller informed the MORNING
News last night that it is the intention of
the water committee TO dlsmantle this
week all the polluted wells, list Of which
was published in the MORNING NEWS Of
July "a. Fourteen wells will lie dsman-
tied. An order has been sent on for the
stop valve hydrants, which prevent leak
and waste There are about half dozen OF
these hydrants already in use in the city.
BY pressing on a hand lever the winter
flows freely, and when the hand is with
drawn the flow of the water is shut off.
Mr.. Miller said that the hydrants viii not
he put in the place of every diSmantled well,
absolutely necessary. He THINKS the
increase in the use of artesian
water by the dismantling Of the wells will
be too great a tax upon the water works,
and he favors the sinking Of about six
artesian wells in the city with mains dis
connected from the water works proper
which would take the place Of the wells
and would not require anything but hand
pumps to bring the water TO the surface.
This plan, he saws, would be expensive, as
the cost of Y'ell will average from $500 to
5000, but that when the health of the city
is concerned the expense should not stand
in the way Pure water is the great desder-
alum, and good sanitation and pure water
mean decrease Of diseases and a lessened
mortality rate.

TYpEE.s PILOT BOAT RACES.
Five Seaport Cities to be Represented
In the Regatta.

Tho pilot boat regatta, to come oil at
| Tybee Wednesday, Aug. p, promises to be
one OF the most interesting events, IN
yachting way, that has ever taken place in
| this section. The indications now point to
very large number of entries. In addi-
ton to the pilot boats of Savannah, entries
are expected from Brunswick, Darlen,
Charleston and Port Royal. Letters were
| received yesterday from Charleston, making
| Inquiries as to the particulars OF the re-
gatta, bat they have not yet been fully
| arranged. The course has been decided
upon, and is between TYbee bar and War
saw bar. The first prize has been fixed at
| 500, and the second at $50. A third prize
is talked of, and may yet be added.
The travel 70 TyDee is beginning 10 be
phenomenal, and with the added attractions
from time to time, will draw much more
heavily from the city and the interior. The
Augusta Sunday excursIan trains over
the Central continue TO bring large crowds,
and tho excursion trains over the Savan-
nah Florida and Western railway last Sun
day brought double the number of the
Sunday previous The trains over these
two roads to-day will be crowded.
The Tybee hotel company was incorpo-
rated in the superior court, yesterday, and
the new hotel will be a valuable acquisition
to the island, not only for Savannah fami-
lies, but for the towns and cities of the in
terror, which will then come and spend the
heated term at Tybee.
The need of a metropolitan hotel has been
very sorely felt at Tybee this summer, the
cheap excursions bringing the island to the
notice of strangers from abroad who have
lost no opportunity TO advertise its attrac-
tions. Quite a number of families from
Augusta, Macon and interior points come to
Savannah and put up at the hotels here
spending the days at Tybee. On the day of
the regatta special excursion trains will
swell the crowds that will go from Savan-
nah, Tugboats will be provided to go over
the course on the day of the regatta, and
the beach will be thronged with sightseers.

THE T. P. AS MEET.
State President w eisiger Visits Post

State President of the Travellers Pro-
tective Association, S. P. Weisiger of Au-
gusta, paid an official visit to Post D of
this city last night. 1t was President
Weisiger's first visit to the Savannah post
since his election at the Augusta conven-
ton. The meeting was not large, many
OF the members being out of the city
President Dsitsch was absent, and ex-Presi-
dent Newman was called to the chair. The
state president gave the post pleasant talk
on Travellers Protective association matters
The Post took up the Lane tragedy, and
it was discussed at some length. A COM
mittee composed of Messrs Dean Newman
Sig Binswanger, Gus Dryfus, Capt. E. Kul-
man, Maurice Deitsh, Jake Strauss, c. b.
Townsend, NJ. L. Lilienthal, Frank Clark
son, Sig NJ. Goodman, and S. S. Friedlein,
was appointed to receive contributions from
members of the Travellers Protective asso-
citation and others who desire to contribute
to fund for Lanes mother. The fund for
the prosecution of Lanes slayer is in other
hands, sand the Travellers Protective asso-
citation will also aid in that direction.
Considerable work of routine character
was disposed of.
President Weisiger will be entertained at
TyDee to-day
