Editor Morning Netos: Replying to the
letter Of Ethics in yesterdays paper, we
desire to say that we were surprised so little
a matter should have so disturbed him. We
are sure that a careful perusal of our article
In Sundays paper will show that, far from
rejecting discredit upon council, we spoke
ia the most CONNIE ldable terms Of them.
We certainly entertain the highest respect
for our city council, and would be the last
to say or do anything that would offend
them, or, in fact, any one else without g.
cause. As far as using them in conjunction
with our advertisement of Knabe pianos is
concerned, we simply say that as merchants
doing business here, and paying all taxes
and license required, we feel that we Justly
have the right to advertise how, where and
when we please. This right we propose to
exercise as long as we feel so disposed. the
opinion of Ethics" to the contrary not
outstanding. Ia conclusion, we wish to
say that 'Etnics" selected his nom de gLlsgle
without consideration of the eternal fitness
of things, and we would suggest that he
adopt in future the more appropriate title
of GrolUler. DAVIS Bros.
N. B.-We are still of the opinion that a
Knabe piano would be just the tang in the
council chamber, or anywhere else.

"Bootles' Baby" Before a Fine Audi
ence-The Pony Show.
"Bootles' Baby" was played last night
before splendid audience. The play,
although not new to many theater-goers,
had never been seen here before. It'll play
that stands by itself. The fragile thread of
romance upon which it is founded is made
charmingly effective by the excellent con-
trast and brightness of the characters, by
the naturalness and crispness of the dia-
logue, and by the picturesque incidents
and snowy military flavor of bar
racks life in which the scenes are
laid. The baby business, which in many
plays has been so overdone that play goers
have thoroughly tired of it. in this instan ce
is a delightful exception. Little Miss
Lothian as "Mignon" was beyond a doubt
the most charming little tot of an actress
that has ever been seen on a Savannah
stage. Mr.. c. Handyside as "Bootlesn and
Mr.. Edwin Royle as capt. CAVIAR Gill
christ" were two of the leading characters.
In fact every part of the play was well
acted The entire company is company

President Johnston Of the City and
Suburban Railway Company does not
think the verdict in the Ryan damage case,
reported in the MORNING NEWS yesterday,
was SO light, after all the circumstances are
known. His correspondence with Mrs.
Ryan and her counsel shows that the amount
of the verdict was what Mrs. Ryan
offered to settle for two months after the
accident in which she was injured
occurred, and which the company agreed to
pay. La her counse's letter to the COM
pany the proposition was made that il her
physicians bill, medical bill, and expenses
OF her nurse were paid by the company she
would not institute legal proceedings. This
proposition, Capt Johnston says, was
acceded to, and an agent called three times
to settle upon that basis, but, notwithstand-
ing the position taken by the plaintiff, the
settlement was declined and suit instituted,
resulting in a verdict for no greater amount
than che company was willing to pay before
the suit was entered upon.

MAY BE AN OIL sPouTRR.
Contractor Joyce Finds Signs of Oil
in the Artesian Well

in the Artesian Well.
Contractor Joyce, of the new artesian
well, informed Supt Manning, of the
water-works, yesterday that there is every
indication of oil in the well, and if it
should bs struck in any considerable
quantity it would solve the fuel problem
for the new water-works plant. A second
or inner casing could be put down for the
oil to supply the furnaces for both water
works plant and orematory.
Mr.. Joyce and his assistant have had
wide experience in the drilling Of oil wells
in the New York and Pennsylvania oil
fields, and when Mr.. joyce says that the
indications point to oil-bearing rock the
assertion is not an idle one. He succeeded
in fishing the pump out of the we'll yester-
day and resumed the work of drilling, and
the drill was in the hard flint all day The
depth of the well, Supt. Manning says, is
now between 1 $50 and !, 400 feet.
