ton be furnished the press for plolic :s
Yours respectfully, j. M. SoLoNONS
President Savannah Benevolent Assn.
There have been rumors in the city for
week that there was a shortage in the
amount of the funds of the Savannah Be-
nevolent Association Of S27 900. With
reference to these rumors, no one connected
with the association would say anything
for publication. The treasurer Of the asso-
citation returned from the north Thursday,
Aug. %, and at once resigned. lie was not
called back by the association. lie was ex-
pected back several days before he came,
but was prevented from coming by sickness
in his family.
President Solomons said yesterday that
the association had in its treasury every
dollar that it owned, and the funds were in
the best securities and cash. 1t has no due
bills and no promises to pay.
President Solomons spoke about the sltua-
ton at Jacksonville, and said that he had
no doubt that the association would soon be
called upon by that city for assistance,
which it is prepared to render. The asso-
citation has already made an offer OF help,
which has not been accepted, because help
is not yet needed. The association intends
to contribute aid to Jacksonville as aid is
needed there, and to respond to calls from
other places, if there should be any
AS stated in the MORNING NEWS at the

ton as any bank in the city.

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 itdoesn'J go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. II a word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
tie past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, now con-
ceits, new tricks aud 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 1ViU sell gerry
close TO move some of it. This il good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par eTceItence &c
Ladies' Gae Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chairs and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry, 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 hOlU. They
will keep, aud you will save money

IT MUST BE TWO-THIRDS.
1,41O VOTES WILL AUTHORIZE
THE COURT HOUSE BONDS.

------------
The Election Only Four Days Of-A
Two-Th,rds Affirmative Vote Re-
quired Under the Statutes to Au-
thorize the Issue OF the Proposed
Bonds-The Tally Sheets of 1885 the
Basis of Enumeration of Voters.
Only four days remain before the election
to decide the issue of 100000 bonds. for
the new court house. The election will take
place Tuesday. There is very little opposi-
ton to the issue, and the only fear, If there
is any, is that the vote will not be large
enough to authorize it.
II the issue was to be decided by ajority,
It would matter very little whether the vote
was large or small The statutes provide,
however, that the issue must be determined
by two-thirds of the qualified voters in the
county, and the tally sheet of the last gen
eral election is taken as the correct enumer-
alton.
1,410 VOTES REQUIRED.
The last general election in Chatham
county was in 1885. The tally sheet of that
election had tue names of 2, ll5 voters. I'm
der the statute, and takln9 the H5t oil 1850
as the basis of enumeration, it will require
40 affirmative votes to authorize the
issue The usual vote polled Mt county
cleo ions is between 1000 and $500, so that
it is believed there will be very little dtii-
Guilty in polling at least 800 to LOCO votes
in the coming election. Where there is SO
little opposition as there is IN the present
instance, it is a difficult matter to get out
large vote.
A group of county officials was discussing
the election yesterday, and one of them said
that he knew of but one voter who Is OPP
posed to the issue of the bonds, and he will
not be here at the election.
TO BUILD ON THE PRESENT SITE.
1t is not thoroughly understood by every
body, it seems, that the plan is to build the
new court house on the site of the present
building. The plan Of using the old ceme-
te site has been abandoned, and the reso-
luton under which the county commission
ers called the election provides that the new
court house shall be where the old court
house now is.
In event the COUNTY authorizes the issue
of the bonds, work will begin at once to Sc
cure what has been so long needed, and
what superior court and city court grand
juries have recommended term after term
for many years.
PLENTY OF ROOM.
The present building occupies only part
of the lot on which it stands. The lot Is
10 feet inches front and $50 feet inches
deep. The unoccupied space, and which
the new court house will cover, is 2S feet
on Bull street, 46 feet inches on Drayton
street and Is feet on President and York
streets SO that the new building will be
i'll every way a commodious structure.
1t will require some time to get the build
ing under way but immediate steps will be
taken after the election, and it will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. With the
l 4 ~
new government building in progress. Sa-
vannah will have upwards of $70J000 in
vested in building enterprises at the same
time.

How officer Collins Trapped Three
Negroes Last Night.


Officer Collins had a tough time in making
an arrest in Yamacraw last night. In a
row between some negroes at the corner Of
William and Farm streets G. H. Robinson

Walker, when the negroes followed, cursing
him, and yelling, $50 for him." Don't let
him take Walker away" and crowding
up on the officer, who continued On
up street with his prisoner. Seeing
that trouble was inevitable. he turned to-
ward three of the leaders and told them to
come on as witnesses for Walker, and it
woul be all right. They did so, and when
they had reached the barracks he took them
into custody and Sergt. Killourhy put a
a charge against them of interfering with
an officer in the discharge of his duty and
threatening to re cue a prisoner. They
were locked up. Their names are John
Miles, Henry Billiard and James Henderson.
The police authorities say that the locality
where the disturbance occurred is bad
one. Shiitless negroes blockade the side
walk and drink and carouse there nightly.

BOLD WORDS
Spoken BY Clergyman 0Qer the Bier
OF One Killed by Hypocrttical Civil Ser
vice Reform

CHICAGO, Oct. %.
A sensational incident happened today al
the funeral services of c. 5. Squires, assist
ant postmaster at Chicago for nineteen years
after baving worked his way up from an er.
rand boy in the postal tfvice. Squires was
reduced not long ago to a chief clerkship.
and was subsequently, susphnded. His
friends claim that he died of a broken heart.
The funeral took place with Masonic honors
in the Inmanuel Baptist church. one of the
most prominent congregations. The church
was crowed to oyerfiowing. DIR. Lorimer
pronounced the eulogy. His eloquence great
ly wrought the audience when he said
Il see in the dead before me an arraignmeDt
of the civil service l think as he lies; he
declares failure of the system. Our ideal
is still beyond our intellect; nor will justice
and purity prevail in the civil service until
preferment shall be given upon the scale of
talent and fitness" There was moment of
silence and then the big church rang with
an understandable outburst of applause. The
knights Templar in regalia and plain citi-
zens alike excitedly shouted their approval,
Notwithstanding their surroundings and the
presence of the dead. DIR. Lorimer be-
sought order saying, Not here, not here"
but added, Had this loved and loveable
man his just deserts he would still be active
ly among US, and we would have been
mourning for the dead postmaster of Chicago
and not a clerk of the registry department.
So intense was the agitation of the audience
that it was with difficulty the church could
be cleared
