TART TO HAVE A HEARING.
The Arson Case to Come Up in Justic
Russell's Court To-Day.

The Arson Case to Come Up in Justice
Russelrs Court To-Day.
Growing out of habeas corpus proceed
ings in the superior court. Judge Falligant
granted an order yesterday on the motion
of defendants counsel, for a preliminary
examination before Justice Warning Russell
this morning at 10 ocloc k, of James S.
Tart, charged with arson, upon an affidavit
sworn out Nov. 80 by Lee 7. Mann.
As arson is not bailable offense, the i'm
prisonment has been calling one to Tart,
who stands well among those who know
him. He bitterly denies the crime,
1t appears that Mann, Malpheus and Tart,
who were in the employ of the Belt Ii ne
railroad, opened wood yard at East Broad
and New Houston street. Tart rented the
house, rooming there himself, sub-renting
part of the house to John +. Fennessy, and
furnishing one room for an office. Tart
sold his interest in the business to his par t.
ners, but continued to room In the building.
A fire broke out in his room on the night
OF Nov. 70, and destroyed his furniture and
clothing. As he was insured, Mann charged
him with having fired the place, and had
him arrested. Tart says that the prose-
cution grows out of his refusal to pay
Mann e. Malpheus for a set of harness that
was burned in the office.
Tart seems to have friends. Ravenel and
Morrison were employed by the defendant
to defend him, and the Odd Fellows lodge

superintendent of transportation Of the
Central railroad. Mr.. Starr finds the of4ica

the people here.
Mr.. Starr is a native of Charleston.
;. Z, and began his railroad carear
on the old South Carolina railroad He
was very Young when he connected him
self with the road, and his position with it
was mental one. He afterward was con-
nected with the Central railroad at Aupnsta
for considerable time, and came TO Savan-
nan In the capacity of telegraph operator.
de was considered one Of the best operators
the Central railroad ever had During his
stay with the road in this capacity, his
ability developed, and the Central. recop-
n1zlng this. began to promote him. His
promotions were rapid, but to every place
70 winch he was appointed he was fitted to
perform Its duties most satisfactorily.
Less than three years ago, Mr.. Starr was
appointed to the superintendent of the
Central railroads largest division. His
successful management of this long line
was marked. He took the road up
where MIR. Kline left it, and his
manner of operating it, subscribing the best
interests Of the road and benefitting Macon
commerce, won for him the favor OF Macon.
and there was general regret when he
left. His position now is next to that of
general manager, the highest operative de-
partment
MIR. Starr has now the management of all
the roads through division superintendents.

KNABE IN CHICAGO.

The Agency of the Knabe Pianos in
Chicago is Given to Lyon q Healy,
Who Will Hold These Renowned In
struments as Their Leaders"
One of the agonies is over.
We are informed on reliable authority
that the great house of VIM. KNABE & Co.,
of Baltimore, have given their Chicago
agency to the new Lyon Sc Healy concern.
We are also informed that the Lyon &
Healy Company will run the Knabe Pianos
as their "IeaderS," whatever other pianos
they may see fit to handle as well.
This is very important news.
II is evident from the very nature of
things there will be very strong rivalry in
business between Lyon, Potter & Co. and
the Lyon & Healy Company, and direct
result of this rivalry will be to bring the
Steinway and Knabe Pianos into more
direct opposition than ever before.
Personally, we view this situation with
extreme pleasure, and for the following
reasons:
The prosperity of the piano trade, as a
whole, depends absolutely on the great
house maintaining their activity, their high
standard of manufacture, their interest in
all musical endeavor.
We think that both Messrs. Steinway &c
Sons and Messrs. Kuabe & Co. will profit
by the lew arrangement. and that the in
terests Of each in Chicago will be guarded
and furthered even with greater zeal and
fidelity than before.
The Knabe firm is one of the most con-
sentative in the trade.
They have rarely used any even of the
legitimate means of advertising employed
by their principal competitors, but for all
that their progress has been steady and
constant.
No house in this trade stands higher than
they do, either in reputation or credit.
They are now well into the second half
century of their existence, and can proudly
look back through the years on an unblem-
ished record.
Recently they have made a number of
moves, the taking Of their present magnifi-
cent store on Fifth avenue in the Methodist
building, the engagement of Mr. Ferdinand
Mayer as their manager, and now the Civ
ing of their Chicago agency to the Lyon a.
Healy Company, which show very conck-
sively that the firm is possessed not merely
with the spirit Of enterprise, but with all that
old power that, from an humble beginning
but on a solid basis of integrity and capac-
ity, reared their house to its present proud
and magnificent proportions. -AH1erica9e
Musician Dec. z, 1889.
Davis Bros, general agents for the Knabe
Pianos, have in their warerooms twenty
five of the superb instruments, Grands
Squares and Uprights. See them at once.

AT WORK OK TIE ITALIA.

The mate hustled up the ladder, followed by

SLOWING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
There were some amusing features in the
slowing away OF the cotton. Some bales
were too long and Others too thick 10 TT in
vel, and wuere one bale could not be
tramped down bale would be hoisted by
the donkey engine and let drop suddenly
ike q trip hammer. end in that way the
protruding bale would be forced down.
When the men quit work for the day they
had slowed sixty bales, aud there were from
go 20 500 yet to be loaded, which it is
thought will certainly be got in tomorrow.
There was q rumor ahoat that the crew
had refused 70 work as stowawa but this
is unfounded. They are being paid extra,
and one Of them said yesterday that they
are anxious to load and get off, as the snip
is bound for the Baltic, and the sooner they
get off the less likely they are to be caught
In an ice lock up in a rigorous Russian win
ter, much more serious thing TO them
than slowing cargo when they are to be
paid extra for the work.
There is every reason now 10 believe that
the longshoremen viii be at work on Mon
day, after five days lockout, that has
been as annoying to them as it has been
hurtful to commerce. In fact, some Of the
longshoremen are not at all pleased that
they have been ordered to remain out on

| Inc Preparations Tor the Gilmore Con-

to keep up. So far, the bazar has been a
great success, and its most interesting fea-
lures are yet to come.

be the musical events of the season. The
HussarS are making extensive arrange
mentS. The bazar building is so built as to
accommodate a crowd larger than any

Instruments much more ENJOYABLE to
TO the audience. The band will have a stage
IN the dancing hall, and the partition be-
tween the dancing hall and the main hall
will be removed, as will the booths IN the
center aisle. This will furnish room for
goo1 many more people than any other
Dulldlng In the city. The band stage will
be handsomely fitted up, and seats will be
placed IN the hall. Gilmore's band is at
tracing immense crowds all over the south
where 1t has played. In Macon and Augusta
the seats have all been taken, and the band
will play to the biggest audiences of the
season. Savannah seldom has the oppor-
eunlty TO hear such music as it will furnish

CANADIANS DRIVEN OFF.
Very Few Foreign stevedores in Sa.
vannah This Year.


vannah This Year.
Col. j. G. Lee, United States immigration
agent, according to statement from Wash
ington, has reported to the treasury depart
Dlent that there are 100 Canadians at
Savannah, working as stevedores, whom
he believes are imported in violation of the
alien contract law, and who will take home
with them about 100000 which should
have gone to native laborers. An inquiry
among the workingmen on the Bay, and of
Capt. John Riley, boarding officer of the
customs, do not corroborate the statement,
and 1t is evident that Col. Lees report has
been misunderstood, as in frequent inter-
views with Col. Lee while he was here no
such condition of affairs was represented
by him to MORNING NEWS reporters.
While Col. Lee was here be was quite
jealous in looking after violations of the
alien contract law, and as q result several
stowaways were stopped from work on the
wharves, and as the masters of vessels who
brought the stowaways over had to give
bond to take them back 10 the foreign ports
from which they came, and they were not
permitted to work. to secure them when the
vessel should sail, the stowaways were, in
every instance, committed to jail by the
masters Of the vessels, and some Of them
are now in confinement, and will remain
until the vessels in which they came over
have completed their cargoes.
The enevolent associations, which are
better known as organizations Of long
shoTemen, adopted rules early in the year
which virtually bar out all persons from
work along the wharves in loading and
unloading cargoes who have not been resi-
den S Of the city for three months, and who
do not belong to their union, a citizenship
OF three months being one Of the pre-
requisites for admission to the union. This
was done to shut out the Canadians, and it
has effectually done 80 this season.
During the rush about six weeks ago, tbs
longshoremeu's societies modified the rule
as TO the term of residence to facilitate
shipping, but no Canadians were allowed to
work, those who were permitted to help out
being union workmen from the ports of
Charleston and Brunswick, where cotton
receipts were not equal to the labor supply.
Capt. Riley says that he is satisfied that
there is some mistake about the matter, and
that no such number of Canadians, if any,
are or have been employed here this season.
The stevedores laugh at 100 stevedores
taking back to Canada $1,000 apiece for
the Snort cotton-loading season, and they
do not know of any nonresident Canadians
employed as stevedores in this port,
although there have been in past years.
The action of the labor societies has
reformed this abuse, and there does not
appear to be any complaint this season in
this direction

IN JAIL ON A BAD CHARGE.
Jacob Smith Shut Up for Highway
Robbery,


Robbery.
Jacob Smith, alias John Scott (coloredD
was sent to jail from Justice Russers court
yesterday upon a charge of robbery by
force. Lawrence Putnam (colored) was the
prosecutor. He swore out the warrant a
few days ago, alleging that Smith knocked
Alex Putnam, brother of the prosecutor.
of of a wagon, and after beating him to in.
sensibility robbed him of SO and a double
barreled shotgun. Putnam said that his
brother was lying seriously i'll at his home
now.
The difficulty is said to have occurred out
on the White Bluff road. The officers have
been after Smith, but did not succeed in
arresting him until yesterday. When he
was brought to the magistrates court to be
committed to Jail he denied the charge.
He said that he saw the man riding along
in wagon, and that he fell out.
Smith said that he ran over to where the
man lay, and, picking him up, put him in
the wagon and placed the shotgun by the
side of HIM. He lift him then, he said, and
did not know anything more about 1t until
he was arrested. He was promptly lodged
in Jail to answer the charge in a higher
court.
