The Elk employees Bitter Toward the

The Ex-employes Bitter Toward the
Centrars Management.
There was nothing new IN Central rail-
road matters yesterday. Supt. McBee left
for Columbia via the South Bound in the
morning.
No more men were discharged from the
shops. It was rumored on the streets that
rs men had been given their discharge, but
investigation proved the rumOr 70 be incor-
rect Il was said on good authority last
night, however. that several clerks on the
wharf and employees in various departments
had been dropped, One Of them said that
a large number of clerks on the
wharf had been given notice that their serv-
ices would not be needed after Jan. ]. Tee
reason for this is the falling of in business,
the amount Of freight handled being so
much less than formerly that the clerical
force can be reduced and vet handle the
business. This is not official, Of course.
The officials have claimed all along that the
system was handling more freight than
ever.
With the discharge OF the clerks from
the wharf the assertion so often repeated by
the officials of the Richmond aud Dauvilie
and the Central railroad, that the increased
traffic brought about by the lease
f w0Cla ., cls require noD ,, much much larger
shops would be left without a single founda-
tion.
The colored hands who were discharged
or quit. to the number OF nearly sixty, and
who put their claims in the hands of 7. D.
Rockwell, Esq, for collection, have been
paid in full. The men were mostly
trackmen, with scattering parties from
almost all the departments. Most of
them were discharged, but some quit OF
their own accord. Several were discharged
from the force at the coal chute.
All the employees Of the road in Savan-
nah, including large number of those dis
charged, were paid off in checks on the
Central Railroad Bank yesterday. The
doors of the bank were crowded during the
morning like polling place on election day
with the employees getting their checks
Dashed and each one had to take his place
in line. The officials say that hereafter all
the employees will be paid off on the
18th of every mouth. The delay this month,
they say, was caused by the change to the
check system.
An employe remarked yesterday that the
Richmond and Danville's system of paying
of Is great encouragement to its employees
to economic, but il is pretty hard on the
tradesmen who credited them.
The feeling against the road among the
| discharged employees and their friends is
very bitter, and there is considerable talk
| OF retaliation.

Their Concsrt at Y. NJ. @. A. Ball to
Be Repeated To-day.
The rain kept good many people away
from the New York Stars concert at the
Young Mems Christian Association GYM
nasium hall last night who would have gone
under other circumstances.
The company gave a very entertaining
concert. The event Of the evening was the
appearance Of Miss Mabel Stillman the
whistler. Her power is certainly phenome-
nal. She whistles difficult music with as
little effort as the jolly whistle of the school
boy. The difference in sound is, however,
as the croak OF the frog to the wartle of the
nightingale. Like the latter, her notes are
sweet and clear, and thoroughly in tune.
Miss Ssillmau has certainly a phenomenal
gift, which has been so developed by culture
and practice that her performance is as
charming as unique. She whistled one
selection as well as another
Miss Teoker, the soprano of the company,
has an excellent voice, and she was enthu-
slastlcally received. The tenor, Mr. Odell.
sang With excellent effect. He was recalled
after every song and responded cheerfully,
The humorist, Mr.. Little, is suffering with
the grip, and his work was considerably
marred by his illness. A man with the grip
does not usually feel very funny, aud evi-
de thy Mr.. Little didn't.
The rain poured during almost the entire
concert, and falling on the roof of the hall
made it almost impossible, at times, to hear
the singers. In view of the excellence OF
the entertainment and the small audience, a
special concert will be given at o'clock
this evening with an entire change Of pro-
gramme. The company leaves tonight for
New York, so that matinee had to be
given instead OF night performance. Those
who sttend cannot fail 60 be entertained.

THREE SLIGHT FIRES.

The Firemen Kept Busy Yesterday
With inclpient Blszes.
Yesterday was lively day for fires, the
department being called out three times.
None OF the fires amounted to much, and
$3.50 will cover the entire damage caused by
the three fires.
At 9:20 o'clock an alarm was turned in
from Box As, at Drayton and Waldburg
lane, occasioned by the burning of the roof
of Mrs. Bolan's house at Duffy and Lincoln
streets. The department got to the fire in
quick time, and extinguished it before
much damage was done. A defective fiue
caused it. Only small portion Of the roof
burned. The loss is covered by insurance.
About o'clock the firemen at No. 4 house
were summoned by telephone to a slight
hre at J. Storms house, No. l59 CASTOR
street. As in the former case, a defective
Hue was the cause. A small portion Of the
wall OF the kitchen is all that was damaged.
and the loss is fully covered by insurance.
AT 1880 last night headquarters was noti-
fed that William K. Evans house No. los
YORK street, was burning. The firemen went

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT


The board of health has been increased
5000 and will be divided next year into
separate items-hospitals, odorless excavR-
ton machine, etc.
The city lamps department has been in
creased $500 to provide for additional
lights, probably ten.
Alderman Bailey succeeded in getting an
increase Of 81, 900 for the fire department,
which, although not giving him sufficient for
another fire engine, will purchase a suffl-
Gent amount Of hose and an additional hose
wagon.
The opening streets department gets an
increase Of IS, 900 over this years appropri-
alton to continue the opening of streets
through the southern portion of the city.
Alderman Haiges succeeded in getting the
police appropriation increased 81, 800. This
was done with the view of a probable intro
duction Of the Gamewell police telegraph
system and purchasing and equipment Of a
new ambulance wagon. Mr. Charles Waun
a representative of the Gsmeweli company,
was before the board aud fully explained
the workings of his system, which made q
most favorable impression on the aldermen.
The matter was left to the police committee
for. thorough investigation as to its practi-
caoility, which no doubt will report favora-
bly,, and the system will doubtless be put
into operation here next year. The cost
will be something like $1,000 but as an
Offset, it is claimed that the putting in of
forty boxes and ten booths will be
equal to the increase of the force to 100
men, thus giving the citizens ample police
protection.
NEW AMBULANCE.
The new ambulance wagon will be Of the
finest patent, provided with all the latest
appliances for the handling of sick and in
1ured people. The increase Of the police
appropriation for such a purpose is a COM
mendable one-something which the MORN
ING NEWS has for a long time advocated.
The police and fire uniform fund is in
creased 81, 600 to provide for entire new
uniforms for the police next year including
overcoats.
The public building item is added to by
$4,000 to repair the city exchange founda-
ton and build vault annex on the north
side Of the building for the protection of
the city's books and documents.
The quarantine appropriation is given an
increase of $4,000 to provide for some
needed Improvements at the station
Inc seayenger department is given an ad-
ditional 81 1000 to improve the service in the
way OF adding carts, etc.
THE WATER WORKS.
The new water works appropriation is
put at Sl25, 900 to carry the work for year
The next budget will provide for its entire
completion.
The incidental account is increased
$4,000 on account Of the river and harbor
Improvement
While no additional amount, beyond that
agreed on Tuesday night, was given to the
paving streets department the probability
is that the Bull street pavement will be
completed. By close economy enough
money may be saved out Of the street aud
lane department. together with the $50. 900

Business Men Entering Into the Adver-
Using Bureau Movement.
The movement to organize an advertising
bureau for Savannah is admitted on all
sides to be one of the most important move
ments started in long time. number
Of gentlemen embued with the idea of ad-
vertising Savannah have simply induced the
land and Investment companies to take the
initiative. All patriotic persons and inter
ests will be called upon to support the move-
ment as soon as start is made. At the
"Wednesday night meeting next week, at the
DeSoto banquet room, some plan will be
formulated TO raise the necessary funds. 1t
is varlously proposed to organize a stock
company, and to call for subscriptions as a
matter of public spirit, or to form an asso-
citation with membership. The total amount
that it will be proposed to raise is undeter-
mined, though the suggestors are around
the $4,000 mark. ST. Louis has raised q
fund of $500, 900 for the same purpose.
The result Of the CO lug meeting will be
looked forward to with great deal OF inter.

ern tour Of Texas aud Arkansas in the in
terests Of the Georgia Pacific and Central

The prospects is that between 10, 200 and
$4,000 people from that section will come
back to spend Christmas at the old home
Most OF them will come over the Georgia
Pacific and Georgia Central, of course.
Mr.. Hardwick says he found the people
better off in Northern Texas than anywhere
in the south. They have made large crops
OF cotton and corn. a good deal of which
they still have on hand and they seem to
have plenty of money as well. Consequently
they are able to come home and spend
Christmas with the old folks.
