ABBOTT IN IL TROvATORR.
Verdi's Great Work Splendidlv Sung
The Operas TODAY.

Verdi's Great Work Splendidlv Sung
The Operas To-Day.
al Trovatore" is worthy of the composer
Of GER mani" and La Traviata." The rare
beauty of its melodies and the invigorating
freshness of its surroundings combine to
make its rendition ever welcome. The
theater was filled, and the audience en-
joyed Verdi's immortal work
seemingly better than any that has
been sung so far during Miss Abbott's en-
gagement. In the lovely aria, "The Tenn
pest of the Heart" in the passion song,
~ Have Sighed to Rest Me-" and in the
delightful duet between "Azucena" and
"Manrico," "Soon in Soft Slumber;" in the
touching aria, Back to Our Mountain
HOme;" in the pathetic and wistful song of
"Leonora," distraught and bemoaning her
lovers fate, and in the final despairing
burst of melody, 81 Would not Live to be
Another's Bride" the audience was not sat-
isied with once, but demanded a repetition.
Miss Abbott, who sang the famous role of
''Leonora," was in superb voice, and car
ried off the honors of the evening At the
close Of the second act she received a per-
feet ovation. At the close of the third act
she sang, in response to repeated calls, that
old song 80 dear to every Scottish heart,
"Auld Lang Syne."
Miss Annandale, who sang the part of
"Azuceha" with much grandeur of voice
and style, shared with Miss Abbott and
Montegriffo the chief honors. Nothing
could be better than her rendition Of this
famous role
Montegriffo followed upon the same high
plane as "Manrico," which he gave with
admirable vocalization and dramatic effect.
He completely carried the audience with
him in the closing scene of the third act
Mr.. Pruette was the Count di Luna"
He has been heard in the role when he did
it fuller justice and when he did not use the
tremolo stop SO much in his singing.
Mr.. Broderick did not have much to do
as Fernando" The chorus was uniformly
good, ana the anvil chorus was well done.
The matinee performance this afternoon
| will begin promptly at 2 o'clock. Miss
Abbott will sing at both performances to-
| day. At the matinee she will appear as
Juliet" in Gounod's Romeo and Juliet,
and will have the support of Michelena as
Romeo" Pruette as "Mercutio," Broder-
| lex as "Friar Lawrence and
the entire company. Miss Abbotts
costumes, made especially for this
| opera, are all from Worth's establishment.
| As a farewell tonight Miss Abbott will
sing the role of "Yum-Yum" in "Mikado. "
The sale of seats for both performances has
been very large.

TEE ENGLE coMpANY's OFFER.
It VIII Put UD a Garbage Crematory
That VIII Cremste, or No Pay.

It VIII Put ID a Garbage Cremetory
That Will Cremste, or No Pay.
W. S. Morse, general manager of the
Engle Crematory Company, has gone to
New York, but it is understood that before
leaving he made a favorable impression
upon the health and cemetery committee
of council, which viii recommend the &C
ceptsnce of proposition by Mr.. Morse to
| construct a crematOry with a capacity 70
consume thirty tons Of garbage IL twelve
hours. and also 10 incinerate TIE night-soil,
provided the fluid matter does not exceed
Is per cent
| II the crematory, Edoes not do what Mr.
Morse is willing to guarantee it to DO, he
will not ask the city to pay for the con-
struction Of the crematory, and this prop0-
sition following so closely upon the failure
Of the Hughes cremat lry shows confidence
on the part of the Eagle company which
has lent great weight to the proposition.
II is understood that the health and ceme-
terry committee will recommend to council
that Mr. Morse's proposition be accepted
with the safeguards TO the city which Mr..
Morse is apparently willing should be re-
served. ,ss
Alderman Harris chairman of the health
and cemetery committee, said last night
that if the Engle crematory will do what is
claimed for IL, the adoption of system
for the incineration of the garbage and
night-soil of Savannah should not be a
question of doubt, and it is his opinion that
If, after a test Of the Eagle crematory, it
should be found to do its work. satisfactorily,
there should be one on each side of the city.
DIR. Harris says that the combustible
garbage and night-soil of Savannah will
approximate fifty to sixty tons daily, and
if the Engle crematOry will cremate thirty
tons IN twelve hours, two crematories will,
for the present. accommodate the city; and
as the two will not cost exceeding $4,000,
it is a small sum in comparison with the
benefcent sanitary results which must
necessarily follow the cremation of the
night-soil alone.
DR.. Harris will bring the matter up at the
meeting of council next Wednesday night,
and he gave the MORNING NEWS reporter
to understand last night that he will recon-
mend that Mr. Morse's proposition to put up
an Engle crematory be accepted, condl-
toned upon its satisfactory and practical
working, and particularly with reference
TO the perfect incarceration Of night-sol.
With extended sewerage, the Minis
swamp drainage, and the cremation OF
garbage and night-soI, the dangers from
epidemic and maliarial visitations will be
reduced to minimum, and the fact that
the present winter has been remarkable
for its high temperature IS urged as an
additional reason why the best sanitary
{ ethods should govern, and an effective
crematory is believed to be one of the
most important auxiliaries to healthful
sanitation.

vas encroaching his property. From the
dispute q quarrel and fight ensued. Fitz-
gerald claimed that Quinn jumped over the
fence into his yard, and knocking Fitzgerald
down, kicked him, and tore his shirt. He
alleges that the officer knocked Mrs. B.

her also. The warrant was served on Police

URGING THE FRYE BILL.
Col. J. G. Haskell Wants the Indorse-
mont of the Exchanges.

l Col. j. 4. Haskell w anus LnS A0QOEs0-
ment of the Exchanges.
Col J. C. Haskell Of South Carolina
! is in Savannah in the interest of the Frye
tonnage bill now before congress, look
ing to the payment to owners Of American
ships 80 per cent. on cargoes carried to or
! from American ports, and modelled some
I what after thu subsidy legislation Of some
| foreign countries, with view to securing the
! cooperation Of the cotton exchange and the
/ board Of trade in the passage of the bill
purporting to be IN the interest of the
American merchant marine.
President John R Young of the board
of trade said yesterday that the board Of
trade has had considerable of the literature
of the American shipping and industrial
league sent TO it, and the subject is not a
new one. He has, however, not deemed it
necessary to call meeting Of the board of
trade to hear from Mr. Haskell on the sub
ject until the marine committee,
consisting of Messrs. George p
Walker, j. J. McDonough, and
Walter Coney has heard from Col. Has.
kell, aud if after o conference with that
gentleman it is in the Judgment of the
marine committee thought that full meet
ing OF the board should be called to hear
further from Col Haskell, President Young
says he will call it.
The marine committee will meet at the
board Of trade rooms at noon to-day, and
Col Haskell has been invited to appear be-
fore it and present whatever facts he may
desire the subject.
President Overton Of the cotton exchange
has called a meeting of the exchange for
1890 o'clock this afternoon to hear from
Col. Haskell. The meeting, Mr. Over
ton says, was called at Col Haskelrs
request, and Mr.. Overton says that he
has had no extended talk with Col Haskell
to learn what action he wants the exchange
to take.
There does not appear to be any pro-
nounced sentiment in Savannah for subsidy
legislation, and the figures which are
brought forward to support the theory that
subsidized vessels will restore the lost ton
mage of American ships are being used to
show that the workings of a high pro-
tective tariff have brought the American
merchant marine TO its present low tonnage.
The imports and exports of the United
States carried in American vessels have
dwiEdled from nearly $500, 900 900 in 1856,
to less than S20J 100000 in 1857, or from
75.2 per cent. in 1856 to less than ii per
cent in 1887.
Col Haskell's theory is that there should
be an auxiliary naval force, such as is con-
templated by the bill which the commercial
bodies of this city will be asked to indorse,
and that the merchant carrying vessels
should be made auxiliary to the naval fleet,
after the system of some foreign countries
Members of the cotton exchange and board
| of trade were averse to expressing any
opinion yesterday, preferring to await the
arguments Col. Haskell will present. in favor
| of the subsidy bill.

The Hebrew Charity Ball.

Great preparations are being made for the
Hebrew charity ball, which will take place
next Wednesday evening. The large sale Of
tickets has rendered it necessary to procure
the largest space in Savannah. The Hussars
have rendered the use of the bazar
building for the occasion free of charge.
A corps of carpenters has been at work
removing partitions, building dressing
rooms, planning floors, and placing the build
ing in thorough order for the ball. Cobbs'
new military band has rendered its SER
wees for the promenade music, and Cobbs'
orchestra is engaged for dancing. The
supper will be superintendent by the leading
Hebrew ladies OF the city, and is to be one
of the best ever given here. The object is
for worthy cause, and it is therefore not
surprising that the sale OF tickets has been
so large.

column that the well known cotton factorage
firm of Garnett, Stubs & Co. is dissolved
by limitation and mutual consent of all par
ties, and that Messrs. Thomas F. Stubs
and William S. Tyson, have formed a CO.
partnership under the name of Stubs &
Tison, for the purpose of carrying on the
cotton factorage aud general commission
business The members of the new
firm are active and progressive business men
and the house with which they have been
so long identified is one of the Oldest and
most prosperous in the city, and has con-
trolled large trade in Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, and South Carolina. The new
firm has ample capital, and with that and
liberal. comprehensive views of the inter
ests of their friends, Messrs. Stubs & Tison
