Although there is a clause in the in
terstate commerce law forbidding the
granting of railroad passes. there is
scarcely a railroad company in the
country that does not issue thousands
of passes every year. In this city there
are some railroad men high in authority
who find il necessary 10 devote two or
three hours each week 10 the counter
signing OF blank passes which their pri-
vate secretaries subsequently ill in as

Applications for passes are made Oh
a great variety Of grounds. Women
who have sick relatives and friends to
whom they want 70 90 form a very

One of the most terrible battles that
probably ever took place between
ranch stations occurred near the home
ranch Of the Little Missouri Horse farm
in the spring Of 1SSS, at the time when
the several punches or droves of horses
were being driven in from the ranges
for an o of stock and for the
branding Of the young colts. 1t be-
pened by the merest chance that ? 3
droves came in together, with the IA
lions leading. Naturally the three
joined, and at once the question
of leadership. This could only be
settled by a battle, and before the
herders could begin TO form any plan
for separating them, the three stations
were engaged in fercest battle.
As described by those who saw il,
this battle was so savage and so bloody
that il seemed certain that at least one
Of the combatants must be killed. II

mares and colts to the pastures, while

was an unusually desperate one, and
all three horses were badly cut and

COMMITTEE ON STREETS.

A c"mmuuication vas laid before

holders on the south side Of Main

who's buildings are on tn" only auth

was aggravated by the continuance Of
this filling 10 by the street commits
sioner, until a portion of the street was
raised six inches above the established
grade. This, Z was claimed, in wet or
muddy weather, throws the water on
those buildings which are on the
proper level, flooding their cellars, in
juriRg the foundations and causing
much expenss. The owner Of q Of
the buildings has twice rebuilt the
area wall, at an expense Of over 500,
and during the late heavy rain has
been again put u trouble and expense
from the same cause. This gentleman
considers hat he has q just claim

HOTELS WELL FILLED.

more People in Them Now Than
Hsretoforein June.
Asa usual thing June is the dullest month
In The year for the Savannah hotels, but a
talk with the various hotel men discloses the
fact that not only has the business of the
present month been ahead of that of Nav.
but 1t has been much larger than the cor
responding period Of the last three years.
Mr.. Powers Of the De Soto says 1t was at
nrst tne Intention OF the management to
close the hotel during the summer months.
as they were afraid they would lose money
1t was kept open. So many
or the permanent guests desired it, how
ever. that 1t was decided to make the ex,
pertinent, at any rate. Business has ex-
ceeded their expectations, and they will
come out some way ahead, when the
months accounts are cast
June Is usually, Mr.. Powers says, the
dullest hotel month of the year. The tour
ist travel has gone by and the state travel
has not fairly commenced. Most of the ar
rivals now are commercial men. Mr.. Powr
ers thinks that the De Soto will do an ex-
cellent business during the remaining sum-
mer and the fall months. During their
busiest season they have from $50 to 500
guests. The present month they have av-
eraged 100, including permanent and tran
sient.
The present management has only had
charge Of the Pulaski house since the middle
OF last August, and consequently can draw
no comparison between the business of this
year and that OF last. Mr. Leslie says that
their hotels business this month has ex-
oeeded that Of May, but he cannot say that
the number of guests during the month has
been as large as he anticipated. Last year
the business was divided between
the Soreven, Pulaski and Harnett
houses. This year the De Soto,
Pulaski, Screven, Marshall and Harnett are
all open to the public. This would render
comparison between this years and last
years business still more difficult. The
Pulaskps arrivals during the month have
been mostly commercial and Georgia, South
Carolina and Florida people. The daily
average Of guests during the month has
been 120 and arrivals 49,
business at the Screven house has been
good. No comparison can be drawn by the
clerk between the business of June, 1890,
and 1891.
Mr.. Fish. manager of the Marshall house,
was not in charge of that hotel last June.
The house has had a good average of guests
during the last two months, but the man
ager states that he derives great deal of
satisfaction from the statement of other
hotel men that this is the dullest time Of the
year and that business will increase next
month.

GUARDS TO LEAVE TONIGHT.

The Battslion's Preparations for q
Week at Chickamauga.
The Savannah Guards battalion will

o'clock, with full ranks
The Guards have been we'll drilled and
are in splendid condition in every way, and
it is safe to say that they make the hand
soonest appearance Of any corps in the camp
this week. There will be no other corps
that will be able to show SO many fine
looking young men all in the same style Of
uniform. In fact the battalion can prob
ably turn out more men in the
same style Of uniform than any other corps
in the state. When that long line of young
fellows. all in gray clothes and white he'll
NETS, gets out on dress parade 1t will make
show that will delight tne visitors
All the preparations have been made and
the corps will 60 up ship shape. The bat
talon will assemble at the armory at 6:l5
o'clock, city time, and the line will be
formed on Harris street, south of the De
Soto, at $3.50 o'clock. Sleeping cars have
been engaged for the whole corps and the
men will arrive in camp fresh and in good
shape after their nights ride. They have
arranged for a special train, and fifteen

MANY SHIPS LOADING.
THE LARGEST SCHOONER THAT
EVER CAME BBRE IN PORT.

The Major Pickards to Garry Nearly
a Million Feet of Lumber to
Baltimore-The Activity IN Lumber
Trade - The Phosphate Trade Re-
vived-Tne First of the Fleet OF
Phosphate-Carrying schooners to
Arrive This Week.
The schooner Major Pickards is load,pg
lumber here for Baltimore. She is the
largest schooner that ever came to this port,
being 935 tons burden, and is four-masted.
E. B. Hunting & Co, who are furnishing
her cargo, say that she will take between
500. 900 and 900 900 feet, which will be with
ont doubt the largest cargo Of lumber that
ever went out Of this port coastwise.
This is the Piekards' first visit to Savan-
nah. She came here from Punta Gorda.
Fla. where she went for cargo of phos-
phate rock. but could not be filled up, 30 she
came to Savannah. There is some appre-
hension that she will not be able to get out
with full cargo. The trip is an expert
mental one. Should ii prove successful the
Pickards will be run here regularly in the
lumber trade
SIGN OF THE TIMES.
IL Is one Of the signs OF the times to see
such vessels coming into the trade every
year. The vessels coming here show q con-
siderable increase in size. The big four
master. Napoleon Boughton, sailed last week
for Baltimore with 621, 900 feet, and the
same firm is loading the schooner Phineas
w. Sprague for the same port. She will
carry between 1000 aud 600, 900 feet.
Hunting & Co. are also loading the old
brig John Wesley for Washington, D. c..
with lumber. The Wesley is one of the
old standbys and has been trading here for
number Of years. She has been afioat
twenty-four years and has been running
all that time without ever having an acct
dent or mishap, and has been a very profit
able vessel to her owners.
THE SKIPPING OUTLOOK.
The outlook for the summer business in
the shipping line is very good, as a glance
at the list OF vessels published this morning
shows quite feet bound here. Especially
is this the case in the coastwise trade.
The phosphate trade has again been re-
vived and considerable Florida phosphate
rock is now being brought here by the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway, to be
shipped abroad. The first of the feet of
steamers for this trade will arrive here this
week-the British steamship Kate Fawcett.
She will leave New York in the next day or
two. Several other steamers are chartered
to load phosphate in the next two months.
lt Is apparent that there will be no dull
times on the river this season.

TO SETTLE THE CLUB QUESTION.

The Council to Pass Alderman Mills
Club License Ordinance.
The question whether the Oglethorpe
Club has the right to sell liquor without
city license will not go into the courts for
settlement.
Alderman Mills ordinance on the subject,
which makes all clubs selling liquor to their
members liable to a city tax, will doubtless
be passed at the next meeting OF council.
This will put an end to all discussion of
the subjecL, and the Oglethorpes and other
clubs Of similar character will take out the
licenses as required by the ordnance.
1t is matter OF congratulation all around
that the question did not get into court.
1t would beyond doubt have resulted in a
long legal fight in the lower courts, from
whose decision, no matter which way
things went, an appeal to the supreme
court would have been taken. 1t might
possibly have been years before a final de-
cision would nave been reached.
