SAVANNAH LIKES OPERA.
The Bijou Company Makes a Hit on
Opening Night.

The Bijou Opera Company gave Lecocq's
comic opera "Girofe-G irofa" at the theater
last night before large audience. The
company is not large one numerically,
but there is a good deal of merit in it.
The father Of the twins, ''Don BoIero, -
by Harry Leonard, was capitally acted.
he was amusing at all times
Alex Bells "Marasquin" was a good con-
ception of the part and he acted and sang
acceptably. AL. Henderson was a typi-
cal MOOR" and his devil-may-care rendition
of the part was done to the life. Miss
Marie Bell quite captivrated the audience
by her charming PRESERVATION of "Gerofien
and 'Gerofia. She sang the.charming drink
ing song in thesthird act in exquisite style
and washeartily applauded The character
is one to which her manner.
voice, and stage style peculiarly
adapt her. At the end of the second act
she received a handsome bouquet of flow
ers. Miss Rita Booth as "Bolero'sn wife
and ''Bolero's" boss, was good characterize
ton throughout. The chorus singing was
of G. II. Hoffman, deserves word of
praise. Its playing throughout was both
forcible and spirited.
Mr. Hill as PEDRO" Mr.. Chatham as the
Pirate Chief" Miss Muller as "Fernand. u
and Miss Webb as "Paquita,n ably sus-
tanned their roles.
Tonight the PIRATES OF Penzancen will
be given The successful opening of the
BlJou Company's engagement is an assur-
ance that summer opera is appreciated in
Savannah. The audience was, in every
way, one that any company might be
proud to appear before.

Two days later the following reply came:
CHARLESTON S c. NAV 2Sth 1880
TO VOTE ON THE FENCE LAW
An Election Ordered :or Wednesday,
july 3.


There was quite legal contest in the
court Of ordinary yesterday over the sub
mission Of the question of "fence" or mo
fencen to the voters of the county at a spe-
cial election, but Judge Ferrill granted the
petition, and ordered an election for
Wednesday, July 3.
Yesterday morning those in favor of an
election rebutted the two counter petitions
by another petition signed by some forty or
fifty of the heavy taxpayers and business
men of the city.
Those opposed to the election were repre-
sented by George H. Miller, Esq, who filed
a caveat, setting up the claim that the
court of ordinary had no jurisdiction TO
order an election, and that the petitioners for
an election had not complied with the re-
quiremenus of the statute in giving twenty
days notice at all the election precincts and
public places in the county. Mr.. Miller
argued on the caveat at length.
Mr.. Gugie Bourquin, for the petitioners
for the election, cited the fact that the SUI
preme court had decided that courts of
ordinary have the jurisdiction, which had
been exercised by the ordinary at Augusta.
He cited the fact that due notice had been
given in the public prints and at the court
house, the postoffice and other public places.
The court in granting the petition dscreed
as follows:
III decide that have exclusive jurisdiction in
the above stated cases, and l override the
caveat filed, and order that election Of
fence or no fence" be held ON July next,
1889, at the court house in Chatham county,
under the same rules and regulations as are
provided for the election OF members Of the
general assembly.

A meeting of the Georgia Hussars was
held yesterday morning at Capt. w. W.
Gordon's Office, and it was understood that
arrangements for the trip to st. Simon's
would be made. The matter was discussed
at length, and it was finally decided that
the trip would have to be abandoned. A
large number of the country members of
the troop will be unable to go, and as it re-
quireS twenty-one members to go into camn
that number could not be made up without
considerable loss to those who would 90
and especially to those members who are
farmers This is their busy season. and it
is next to impossible for them to leave their
business now. The rules governing the en-
campmeat were discussed at the meeting
and it was seen that unless the troop car,
RED larger number than the rule requires
and remain the full length of time, it could
not be allowed to enter the contests. AL
ternates would have to be chosen and the
company would have to go with more than
twenty-one men. Since it would be incon-
venient to do this the trip was given mn
Some members of the Hussars and of the
other companies will go down for a few

The Jewish feast of the Pentecost will be-

1t is day of great rejoicing and stands
in bold relief in the Jewish calendar as a

Provision Men Mad.

There was considerable dissatisfaction
among the provision and grain merchants
yesterday, owing to the absence of the
market reports from Chicago. The Chicago
Board of Trade has refused to send out
quotations. This action is said to be on
account of the trouble between
the Chicago Board of Trade and the bucket
shops, and this Is apparently the only means
the board of trade has of fighting the shops
or closing them out. The matter will prob
ably result in an open war between Chicago
and New York, and the latter may run an
independent schedule
