Opened With Great Eclat.
The Chatham Artillery opened its new
club house at Tybee yesterday with great
eclat. The day was a delightful one at the

over 200. The morning train, which left

2:30 o'clock train was crowded,
and people stood on the platforms.
Quite number went down at 6
o'clock, and few on the late train.
tIIThe afternoon was spent on the beach
aud in the pavalion. A heavy shower Just
before dark sent the ramblers flying for
shelter aud the remainder Of the evening
was spent at the spacious club house. The
pavilion was thronged with dancers the en-
tire afternoon and until the last train left a
little after 9 O'Clock. A more delightful
spot could not have been selected for the
clubh ouse, and the house itself Is one
of the most comfortable that could
be designed. It's large pavilion,
surrounded by board piazzas, affords ali
the room for dancing that almost any
assemblage requires. and for promenading.
The balconies facing the ocean were crowded
during the evening: Representatives
Of all the companies in the city
were the guests of the artillery,
and they were entertained as only the
Chathams know how to entertain. The
committee in charge of the arrangements
was: Lieut.. G. P. Walker, chairman;
Sergt. W. g. Cam, Sergt. E. E. Buckuer,
Corpl W. p. Bailey, Privates A. C. Har-
mon, A. NJ. Bell, W. H. Adams, Honorary
Members T. d. Bertody, NJ. A. Cohen, Pay
Members J. c. DeLettre, C. a. MarmeI-
stein.
The trains which left the island at Z
o'clock and 9 o'clock were packed with
people. Six carloads were brought up on
the first train and seven carloads on the
last train. which reached the city at 1880
o'clock. The day and the occasion together
were one of the most enjoyable in the his
tory of the Chathams' celebrations.

CARPENTERS QUIT WORK
THE UNION MEN TRYING TO FORCE
TIE e-HOUR MOVEMENT.


Contractors Notified That 8 Hours
Instead of 10 Must Hereafter Con
stitute Days Work-To-Day Fixed
for the New Order OF Things To Go
Into Etfect-The Carpenters Claims
and What the Contractors Say.
The union carpenters gave notice yester-
day that at o'clock they would knock off
work, and thereafter would work but nine
hours day. They quit at o'clock, but
indications point to no general present con-
cesslon Of the demand. Time keepers in
several instances we're instructed to note
the time put in, and they will he allowed
Tor only nine-tenths of & day.
There are comparatively few union car
penters in Savannah, ami the threatened
strike, contractors say, will interfere with
work very little if it is carried into effect.
There has been talk of the nine-hou
movement for the last six or eight
months. There is quite an influx of car
penters drawn here by the big fire and the
general building activity aud the supply so
lar exceeds the present demand that there
WlLl be no trouble to fill the places of all
VINO stand out, as contractors are overrun
with applications.
1t Is too early to forecast the re-
suit of the movement Some employ
ers say that they are willing to ac-
cede to the union carpenters PROPOSE
tlon If there is a general accession on the
part of ali the employers. Some of the
largest employers say that they have made
contracts on the ten-hour system, and the
proposed change means a heavy loss to
them, and if union men insist on nine hours
constituting day they will employ only
non-union men. Carpenters are coming
into the city every day from Florida and
the west and contractors say that they can
get all the men they want The union men
say that the nine hour system is being asked
for all over the country.
