OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES BY.
THE SIGNAL BUREAU PREDICTS
FREEZING TO-DAY.

The Cold Wave Flag to be Hois.ed
This Morning, and Temperature Ex-
pected TO GO to the 80 Degree Mark
by 8 o'Clock-A Blizzard Raging in
the West-Dscember to Make Up at
the Last for the Mid Weather it
Brought.
December was ushered in with warm
sunshine and fair weather, but it threatens
to make its exit amid bowling winds and
threatening gales.
At II o'clock last night Signal Observer
Whitney received a dispatch from the
Washington Office ordering up the cold
wave signal The dispatch said that the
temperature will fall to So by breakfast to-
morrow morning. This is about 10 lower
than at any tine this winter. The tenn
perature FOR December SO far has not aver
aged lower than zoe, which is regular spring
weather.
The month 50 far has been without a
parallel in the last twenty years. 1t has
been sunshine every day, and not drop OF
rain has fallen. The last rain occurred
Nov. %, and then less than half an inca
the wardrobes, and people had begun to
think they were use ess for the rest of the
winter.
COAL DEALERS HAPPY.
Coal bins arc full of old fuel, and the
dealers who have been 'tkicking" about the
lack OF cold weather are happy now in
the prospect of its coming.
The Hussars ran all through
with their bazaar without fire, and sold
the coal and wood donated to them, and
appropriated the proceeds to the armory
fuld. The worknen on the De Soto and
the county court house and other buildings
have worked in their shirt sleeves just rs if
1t were summer time, and the street car
drivers and Conductors have been wonder
ing what was going to happen. They have
hat as good time as the police have had.
On the day that Jefferson Davis was buried
the temperature went ABOVE 500.
THE BLIZZARD COMING.
People who said they wanted winter then
will get it n w. 1t has come in full blast.
Tue blizzard in the northwest is sweeping
the country, aud all living things that are
out Will not know what to make of this
sudden change from sunshine to snow.
Observer Whitney sat in his Office yester-
day watching the antics of the instruments,
and when MORNING NEWS reporter called
on him to get report of the weather, the
observer remarked. Something is to pay
with this weather. We are going to get it
cold.n
1t rained in Shreveport, Meridian, Pensa-
cola, and Nashville yesterday and last
night, and the temperatures were very low.
At Fort Smith, Ark, it was reported lower
than it has been this year, and the barome-
Ter IS very high. The high area is moving
down the Mississippi valley. A good many
OF the very important stations in the west
could not be reached last night owing to the
breaking of the wires by the storm.
There was no rain in Georgia yesterday,
but the indications are now good for rain. If
the severe weather predicted is accompanied
by rain. the most disagreeable weather
which has occurred this season will be ex-
perienced the next few days. So far,
though, no rain as fallen.
A MONTH WITHOUT RAIN.

Rev. ]. W. SIMMONS, FAREWELL.
The Pastor OF New Houston Street
Church TO Leave Tomorrow.

/
Rev. J. W. Simmons, under whose
auspices the New Houston Street Methodist
church was built, and who he's been its
pastor five years out Of the twelve Of its
existence, preached his farewell sermon last
night, and will leave tomorrow morning
/ for his new charge at Hawkinsvills
The church, which was crowded at the
/ morning service. was more than crowded
last nigat. as the overflow filed the aisles
and the vestibule, and at the close OF tie
service the love for the retiring pastor was
ma ifested in a most affectiOnate way as
| the farewe.ls were said
At the morning service the retiring
pastors taxi was from the last clause OF
the sermon OF the mount, and the sermon
was based on the parable Of the wise man
who built his house on the rock. The
argument was that those who wisely build
| upon the truths expounded in the great
T acher's sermon on the mountain top will
never fall, upon which foundation the
preacher urged his hearers to build.
At the evening service the sermon was
more fatherly talk 10 the congregation
than set discourse. The text was from
the 10th and 18th verses Of the 18th chapter
OF Pau 8 second letter TO the church at
Co NTH:
Therefore write these things being absent,
cordlng 4 the power which the Lord hath given
me 70 edihcation, and not to destruction.
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be
OF good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace;
and the God Of love and peace shall be with
you.
Although Paul loved the church at
Corinth, be could not close his eyes to the
differences which had grown I'D in it, and
his letter was admonitory. Much as ne
loved it, If be found discordant elements
when be came again he would use sharp
ness" The preacher, loving the congrega-
ton from which he was about TO sever
applied the teachings of Paul to it, that
when be came again he should not have
TO use sharpness he dwelt at length on his
connection with the pastorate Of the church,
and his line Of thought throughout his re.
marks were reminiscent, admonitory, and
often full of pathos.
at the close of the sermon the 9ls.h
hymn was sung-"God be with you till we
meet again"

THE SALOONS WERE CLOSED.

The City Had g Quiet Sunday on
Account of It.
The result Of the almost general closing
of the saloons yesterday, which is a sequel
to the indictment and heavy penalties i'm
posed in the superior court last week, may
be learned by a glance at the mayors docket
this morning. Up to 1890 O'Clock, there
was but one arrest for the preceding twenty-
four hours, and which, with the three ar
rests during Saturday and Saturday night,
make only four cases for the mayor to con-
slider this morning.
The spectacle with which citizens are
familiar, of negroes and sailors reeh e on
the streets in different stages Of intoxica-
ton on the Sabbath, was not TO be met with
yesterday. The city was quiet and orderly
and the barkeepers had rest.
The tende cy to indulge in intoxicants
during the holiday season makes the light
docket more noticeable. and it is the i'm
preston that restricting the sale of liquor en-
Sunday accounts for it.

LAGRIPPENOT HERE YET.
SAVANNAH MAY ESCAPE THE Pop
ULAR EPIDEMIC.


The Medical Society Has Heard OF No
Cases-Physicians Do Not Apprebend
Serious Results II It Should Come
The Climate Too Mid for g Bad At
tack - Precautions In Event OF q
Visitation OF the Disease.
La grippe, to speak Of the Epidemic Of
inEuenza in the French fashion, has not vet
reached Savannah, although nearly every
one who has q cold thinks ne has the
real Russian epizootc
The physicians claim that they have not
yet met with case Of the genuine article.
DR.. J. B. Read was asked last night if the
influenza is in Savannah, and he said he
does not know whether il is or not
The medical society has had no case
reported to it by any member Of ths
profession
DR.. E. q. Nichols said that be has not
been called TO tre-t any case OF the kind,
nor had be heard OF any physician who hiss,
and be concludes that Ia grippe does not
exist here
Referring TO the reported virulence Of the
epidemic IN New York, DR.. Nichols says If
the epidemic should extend 70 Savannah he
Is incli ed to the opinion that it viii be
mild IL its character, and he does not aDpre-
menu Ludb iL VIII amount 20 mucu- DeFe
ere conditions here other than climatic
which he thinks Will operate to render
visitation Of Is grippe mild and not likely
20 be attended with serious results.
Those who may be affected, physicians
say, should be clad warmly in wOolen, their
skin should be kept clean, aud their system
kept builded up, so that the depression of
spirits which attends the disease may be the
more successfully combated- Tie skin
more readily aids in the process of elimi-
mating disease IL this climate t1an In that
Of the north, and fogs, which prevail there
at this season to greater extent than here,
render the epidemic more TO be feared than
In the south.
Those who may be subjected to the
disease, DR.. Nichols says, should avoid ex-
poSure to draughts Of air and to fogs, and
should wear warm clothing. II used TO
taking stimulants, they should not be de-
prived OF them TO reduce their nerve power.
The comparative freedom from pulmonary
complaints here, he thinks, is token that
II the epidemic should appear here at all, it
viii be in a mild form, and therefore there
should be no apprehension felt In the event
tnat 1t does come this way.
