PREPARING FOR MAY WEEK.
The Executive Committee Getting
Everything in Shape

The Executive Committee Getting
Everything in Shape.
The executive committee for Merchants
week met last night to arrange the fual
details Of the programme for the celebra-
ton. Reports were received from most of
the subcommittee. The finance committee
lacks several Thousand dollars yet of the
amount required for the celebration, and a
final effort viii be made in the next few
days to complete the canvass by raising the
small amount headed, which it is believed can
be done.
Over 1000 invitations have been sent out
to the country merchants to be the guests
OF the Savannah merchants during Mer-
chants week. As less than 600 invitations
remain yet to be distributed the committee
deemed it wise to limit the further distr bu-
ton for the present. Five hundred invita-
tions will be turned over to the Savannah
branch OF the Southern Travellers Associa-
sion to be sent out under the direction of its
president.
The committees on invitation, open house
parades, entertainments, music, races,
Tybee, ETC., submitted reports showing the
progress of the preparations. Four bands
have been engaged for the entire week and
the visitors will hear plenty of music. Be-
sides the two Savannah bands, Cobb's mill
tary and the Regimental band, the Bruns-
wick and Tennille bands have been engaged
The schedules and purses for the pilot
boat and the rowing races have been
made up, aud the entries will be made in a
very short time. The arrangements for
Tybee day are well under way.
Everything points TO the celebration be-
ing great success. 1t is being we'll adver-
tised throughout the state, aud in Florida
South Carolina and Alabama, and the
country merchants are expected by thou
sands.

SLIPPED AWAY IN THE DARK.

A Prisoner All the Way from Califor-
mia Escapes from His Captor.
A South Carolina United States marshal
was in dilemma last night. A prisoner,
whom he had brought all the way from
California, had escaped from him. The
marshal endeavored to apprehend the
prisoner by dispatching to stations around
Savannah. He said that he had
arrested the prisoner for Illicit distilling in
San Francisco and was taking him to
Plumbville, s. G. The prisoner ran away
from South Carolina some time ago when
he heard that the officers we're after
him, and the deputy marshal tracked him
TO California. He arrested him there a
week ago, and Travelled day and night to
get back to South Carolina.
The marshal and his man arrived in Sa-
vannah last night, and officer said that
when he went to transfer the prisoner from
the Central depot to the Charleston and
Savannah depot he got mixed up in the
crowd and escaped. The prisoner was not
handcuffed.
AS soon as the marshal found that his man
had escaped he ran over to the Savannah
Florida and Western railway Telegraph
office TO wire all the Offices near Savannah.
lie told the men in the office that the pris-
oner had no money, but he might
have succeed in getting out on a freight
train. He was unable to send the MESA as.
rs most of the offices out on the line were
closed. lie went away, saying that he
would return this morning to take up the
trace.
When a MORNING NEWS reporter saw
the marshal be was wearing a long, nowing
SGT u false board He said that it mas the
hrst time that he bad ever made "A sllp-up,
aud he was very sick man as lie walked
up aud down the streets, hoping that he
might accidentally stumble against his

a REDUCTION NOT EXPECTED.
The Tax Rate VIII Not be Less Than
III per Cent. ANYWAY.

~ pCI OOuL. anyway
There does not seem to be any probability
Of the tax rate being fixed at less than 4
per cent. in the city tax ordinance for 1890,
although there was a general feeling that
the failure to pass the ordinance night be-
fore last meant that an effort would be
made to reduce the rate. The improve
ments called for by the water works de-
partment, however, preclude the hope Of
any reduction in the rate.
Alderman Myers, chairman OF the
finance committee of council, said
TO a MORNING NEWS reporter yesterday
that no lower rate may be
expected than Is per cent, and that the
delay IN pushing the ordinance to passage
at the last meeting of council was for the
Attorney Adams, who had not yet returned
from Atlanta.
The decision Of the supreme court in the
Weed case is cons dared a great victory by
Mr.. Bourquin, who seems to have been as
badly handicapped fifteen years ago on
equal taxa ion as he has been, thus far, in
his efforts to have the streets OF the city
worked by the citizens.
Mr.. Bourquin says that fifteen years ago
he ana about 100 taxpayers filed a bin
against the city in the superior court TO
compel the city to tax all species of prop
erty equally. The late Louis H. De Mont
molten was their counsel. Judge Tompkins
decided that the city had the right to dis
criminate, and the case was taken up to the
supreme court, which decided that it
would not disturb the decision of the grand
chancellor below
In referring to the decision of the supreme
court of last week, MIR. Bourquin said:
After long years we have won. We have
a supreme court that has some sense, and
renders an opinion. The supreme court
f1tteen years ago, without Slowing any
leason for its action, merely said it wouldn't
disturb the decision OF the grand chancel-

PILOTS TRIMMING THEIR sAILs.w

ing Wide Attention.
The Merchants week pilot boat race is
attracting considerable attention in yacht
ing circles. Capt. W. J. Thompson entered
the Neca and Mary Odell yesterday Capt
w. I. Daniels will sail the Odell, and Capt.
Thompson will be at the Neca's wheel, and
he believes she will win "wita hands down.
1t is to be no child's play, however, as
some of the greyhouuds of the South At
lantlc coast will trim their sails TO carry off
the $500 purse, and among the goers are
the Frances Elizabeth of Charleston, which
carries the prize colors of the Tybee pilot
boat regotts. the Pride and the Igo of
Charleston are also down for the race, aud
the oracle, Telegram and Glyun of Bruins
WICK, aud Brunswick thinks the Oracle is
the latest boat ahoat. The Sprite, Capt.
Marmelstein, of this city is also expected to
contest for tue prize, and the race will not
be won easily None of the boats can afford
to waste any sail power. Ga long reach,
favorite, and she only lost the Tybee colors
last year by an accident to her sails. Her
long tack to DaufEski in the race in 1883
gave Capt. SWAIN fright and the Frances
Elizabeth carried off the bunting by close
call
In addition to the pilot boat regatta
during Merchants week, it is said that there
will be another pilot boat race in July, when
the Frances Elizabeth, TO keep the colors
she carried off two years ago, must again
prove her right to float them by entering
and running the race. There is big money
in Savannah that is ready to back the
opinion that she can never take the colors
back to Charleston.

expect all that was considerate and

when in sore need Of their ministration. ! went
there stranger, and left the city with a sense
of having been again reft of those tender ties
which make home dear, and though twenty
five years have elapsed since | babe Savannah

fresh and precious to me.
In later years, when my husband and daughter
visited you, the military organizations and the

a welcome that you again laid us under bonds
Of ratItude never to be loosed. Now that he
has laid his burthenS down and entered into his
rest, let ma thank you for the cheer and COM
fort that your generous affection afforded him
With great regard, yours sincerity,
