THE DAY OF GOOD RESOLVES.
How Savannahians Welcomed the
New Year, 1889.

How Savannahians Welcomed the
New Year, 1880.
Savannahians spent a very quiet New
Years. There was general suspension of
business on the Bay, and a good many
retail stores were closed The banks, ex-
changes and government offices were shut
and the employees had a holiday. The
weather was pleasant and a good many
people took advantage of it and spent the
dav out of doors.
There was very little New Years calling
The custom is less observed every year
There were few baskets hung out, but only
a few The people who made calls made
them Just as they would on any other day
than New Years. Last night, though,
there were any number Of private receptions
and entertainments, and those who did not
welcome the New Year the night before
babe it a formal vel ONE last night.
The MORNING NEWS has no means Of
knowing how many good resolutions were
made during the day, but there probably
was the usual number. The men who swore
OFF getting full stood out pretty well The
police reported fewer arrests than on aLy
New YEARS. day for many years. There
we're only five altogether, three
DRINKS aud disorderlies, one ne
gro for assaulting a child aud
a colored boy for throwing fire balls il
Troup square.
The boufires and fireworks last night
were not as extensive as on Christmas
night, but every square south Of Liberty
street had at least one bonfire
The park extension was lit up on all sides,
and the fireworks display was more extern
sive than was looked for. The dealers low
cred their prices greatly, and the small boy
spent his last nickel tor peppers.
Altogether, New Years day, 1889, was Il
good beginner for the year.

The city authorities should take steps to
have more sidewalks put down. Some
parts of the city are almost inaccessible for
want of such improvements. Those who
have been compelled to lay sidewalks think
it but fair play that they should have the
same accommodations when walking in
other parts of the city as they have pro-
vided for those who live on streets that are
not paved.

The Second District Club also met last
night pursuant 10 ad iouFnment, but as an
lnteTes ing fight on the mayoralty seemed
inevitable. the conference committee was
not selected, and the club took no definite
action. II Is said the Schwarz men were
not willing to trust the president Of the
club 70 appoint the committee as he is be-
heyed TO be Thomas man.
As there seems TO be some doubt as TO the
vote TO table the resolutions which en-
braced the Charlton delegation at the meet
ing Of the Young Mems Democratic Club
last Friday night, it NAV not be out Of
place 70 state that the MORNING NEWS, on
the authority Of Mr.. Charles +. Prender-
CAST, one Of the tellers, published the last
vote as standing IS to table the resolutions
to - against. This was the tally as shown
by Mr. Pre- dergast to the MORNING NEWS
reporter, and ; Mr.. PTendergast submitted
1t 10 the presiding officer, Mr.. Cam, before
the meeting adjourned
Il is predicted that the clubs will not be
able to agree upon a candida for mayor,
and the point of divergence will be upon
the ratio Of representation. The South
End Club. with "a membership of $50, which
was not represented at the conference Dee.
Z last, because the club had not then been
organized il is learned, will demand a rep
resentation Of ten votes, and the secretary
will have the roster Of the club to enforce
the demand. The city canvass will be
short. but in interest will far exceed the
campaign for county offices.
II is believed by some that the election Of
Mr. 0'COnnOr as ordinary will pave the
way FOR the nomination Of Maj Schwarz to
the mayoralty, and the friends OF Dr.
Fslligant say that he will lead the alder
name ticket and in keeping with the
universal custom entitle the doctor 10 be
the vice chairman of tn new council. On
the other hand the defeat of Mr.. O'Connor,
il is claimed by great number. will be the
sure pecursor of Maj. Schwarz's defeat by
the club convention If be submits his claims

Willie Cook Thrusts a knife into
Tommy McGinley's Side.
Thomas Mckinley. a 13-year-old son Of
James Mckinley, carpenter, living at No.
100 Henry street, was seriously stabbed yes
day morning by Willie Cook lad Of about
Is years. The boys attend the same
school, and while they are not on the best
terms they have never had an open quar-
rel before.
Mckinley and his little brother were out
in the street in front Of their nome, when
dispute and quarrel arose bet cen them and
another boy. They we're about TO come to
blows when the Cook boy ran up and inter
posed.
The Mckinley boys left and started into
the house, but before they reached the gate
the Cook boy overlook them and, with an
open knife concealed in bis hand, he
punched Thomas under the left arm and
made an attempt to treat his little brother
in similar way, but the little fellow ran.
Neighbors who saw the affair thought
that the Cook boy had struck Thomas Nc
Ginley, but the blood began to stream down
the little fellows trousers leg. He was
taken into the house, and upon exaplina-
ton it was found that he had been stabbed
under the arm and was bleeding profusely
DR.. BullOch, who lives across the street,
was summoned He said that the knife en-
tered fulIy Two Inches, and II the blade mad
entered an inch higher up the stab would
have been fatal. The wound IS very pain
full, but the physician docs not think it
fatal
The Cook boy has got out Of the way, and
could not be found anywhere after the oc-
currence. His mother Is north, and during
her absence he has been boarding on Ander-
son rect.
Mr.. Mckinley swore out a warrant in
Justice Mollna's court against young Cook,
charging him with assault with intent TO
murder. lie says If it had been merely
fisticuff he would have paid no attention
to it, but the vicious attack with a knife he
could not pass over lightly hence the prose
