TEE c1rY's GOAT POPULATION.
Marshal Wade Puts it in the Neighbor-
hood OF 3, 500.

| Marshal wade Puts IL In the Neig
hood OF 3, 500.
The discussion of the goat question by the
city council has again aroused interest in the
ssue. Few people are aware Of the size of
the goat population of Savannah. City
Marshal Wade. who has been making close
study Of the subject for some time, claims
that :, 500 is low estimate.
It would seem from Marshal Wade's
statement that the goats control a majority
of the voters. or IN other words a majority
Of the voters control the goats.
| This may be a possible explanation for
the councilmen's failure 10 seriously tackle
the goats. IL is a matter of history that
these festive animals have more than once
interfered with the political ASPIRATIONS OF
city statesmen, and it may be that the alder
men Of the present day fear O similar fate
| if they legislate against the established
animal of YamacraW, the Fort ana Frog
town.
Every one who doesn't own a goat knows
! that the animals are nuisance. If they
would stay in the sections of the city where
their sort is collected nobody would kick.
They have, however, the most rabid social
istic ideas. They are respecters of nothing.
A picket fence around garden doesn't in
terfere with their business at all. They
vault over it and eat the plants and shrub
berry.
The digestive capacity of the goat is the
envy Of dyspeptics. He can stand any kind
OF fare, even to turpentine soap or the
notwithstanding of house.
Bay street green, better known as Irish
Park, is the goats. rendezvous. They are
apparently as well organized as the police
department., and they eau be seen
dividing off In groups and
trottlng different routes. A few
nights ago a MORNING NEWS reporter
counted fourteen goats marching together
down the middle Of Montgomery street, ap-
parently on the lookout for some convenient
garden. They we're thoroughly disciplined.
There were four threes, with two marching
in the rear like non-commissioned officers,
and an old fellow with long beard on the
outside in command. There was a military
bearing about the animals. and many people
stopped to admire the procession.
Alderman Mcclure, who announced
Wednesday night that he could settle the
goat question, is not ready yet to talk about
his plan. He will probably have it drawn
up by the next council meeting. One of
the aldermen's friends said yesterday that
one OF his ideas was to compel owners of
goats to bell them so as to warn people of
their approach and so allow them an OPP
portunity to give the animals reception in
keeping with their position.

ROBBED A GROCERY STORE.
A Bold Thief Does successful Job on
Congress Street.

A Bold Thief Does successful Job on
Congress Street.
John Sullivan's grocery, on Congress
street, was broken into and robbed night
before last. Itwas a bold trick, and the
thief, whoever it was did very neat piece
of work.
The store fronts on the square. facing the
Pulaski and not Inaoy steps from the
Screven, about which places people are
usually stirring nearly all night. The
thief was, evidently, we'll acquainted
with the premises and had planned his job
well. One of the large upper panes of glass
in the east window was broken in where the
catch which held the sash could be reached.
The thief then reached in, rolled down the
long shade which hangs in front Of the win
dow, pushed back the sash and slipped in.
He then pulled the curtain back up and pro-
ceeded leisurely about his work.
The money drawer was rihed of about
$40 and the thief helped himself to lot of
fine whiskies, about $40 worth. Nothing
else appeared to have been disturbed, though
something may have occurred to brighten
the thief from his work. He did
not come out by the front window.
where be had entered, but uufastened the
door at the back and went out through the
lane. fine large cat belonging TO Mr..
Sullivan appeared to have received kick
in the jaw, as his lower jaw was swollen.
A tailor who was at work for Brady, in
the rear of the place next door, on the
second floor, noticed dog chasing cat out
of the door of the grocery in the lane, and,
thinking il little strange, went down and
Investigated and found the lane door open.
This was about o'clock. There Is nothing
TO show at what time the robbery was COM
mitted. 1t might have been during the
thunderstorm in the early part of the night
Detective Mike Hanley is at work upon the
case.

THE WEATHER INTERPRETED.

The Vernon Park Races Postponed
TIL Next Wednesday.
The track at Vernon park was too wet
yesterday for the races They we're post
poned until next Wednesday. The pro-
gramme will be enlarged to include three
cock fights between the heats.
A large crowd went out to the park and
was rather disappointed at the postpone
ment, which was unavoidable, on account
Of the condition Of the track. Purses will
be offered by the management next Wednes-
day. and several other horses besides those
which were to have contested yesterdays
events will be entered.
Great interest is being excited in horse
racing in Savannah, and before long there
will be as healthy sentiment here for the
sport as In the larger cities.

Allegheny market house is now being fitted
up with the system, and in q short time it
will be ready for operation. The company
will first supply the butchers of the market,
and if successful, will extend its plant and
supply all who want it. 1t has already OBJ
tanned right of way from Councils to lay
pipes through the streets. -.-f-.
The system, which is a patent of Edward
Armstrong. late Chief of the Department of
Public Safety. consists of main line, with
connections for each individual, running
through the ice box and out and rejoining

GOOD IMMIGRANTS GO WEST.
Mr.. Layton Says the Worst Glasses Stop in
Pittsburg.


Pittsburg.
Robert D. Layton fingered around the
Union station after dark last evening with
the suspicion that more immigrants might
land in Pittsburg. None came and he
heaved sigh of relief. The Baltimore and
Ohio has agreed to notify the Government
agent when their people from the Baltimore
port will arrive.
You may say" said Mr.. Layton, as he
scanned his record book, "that we have been
deluged with the lowest classes of Europe
this week, and chief among them are the
Italians and Sicilians. Of the 200 immi-
grants that remained in the city for the
week, 80 per cent were italians, and a very
undesirable class they are, 1 am puzzled
to know what sort of mongrel breed
will be the result of lntermarriage between
the different low classes that come here. Do
we get some decent immigrants? Yes, and
it is the one thing that gives me hope for
the country under the present immigration
laws, The rosy-cheeked, well-fed Swedes
and Swiss frequently break the monotony
of my work, but, alas, for Pittsburg,
the don't stay here. The great
Northwest captures them with its inviting
farms and lumber fields. Under the present
commercial agreement with Italy, we can't
exclude the offscouring of that country
without ignoring the treaty entirely. They
are hardly paupers, but am sure we will
be happier without them."

Conductor and Fireman Hurt in q
Pittsburg and Western Wreck.
NARROW ESCAPEFoR PASSENGERS
President Oliver and other Prominent
People on the Train.
CAUSED By A LOOSE CROSSING BOARD

A serious wreck about which the officials
were very reticent. occurred on the
Plttsburg and Western road at SAM
ple's station yesterday. 1t was a
special train and nothing but
q miracle saved the lives Of the distin-
guished party OH board, while the poor con.
ductor and fireman were severely injured
md one Is liable to die. 1t Is the worst
wreck the, road has had for some time, and.
after all, one Of the luckiest.
The special carrying about dozen prom
inent persons started from the Allegheny
depot at 70 o'clock to 90 to Ellwood. The
train consisted Of an engine, Presi-
dent divers private car and a
coach. The wreck happened at 1890.
Among the passengers were President II.

inspect. The train was running at the rate
Of 40 miles an hour. At Samples station
wheel OF the engine struck one of the
planks of the crossing which was out of
place, and the engine jumped the
track. The engineer shut off steam,
but the momentum of the train
carried it along the ties for some distance.
when theiengine turned over. The FIRST car
was also partly upset. The engineer saved
himself by jumping, but the fireman and
the conductor John Hersh, who was riding
on the engine, were caught in the wreck.
The passengers, who were in the rear car.
were severely shaken up and somewhat
bruised, but none were injured to any ex-
tent.
The engine, q new one, was COM

given attention. Conductor Hersh had
both legs broken and was badly scalded.
The fireman was severely cut and bruised
and was also scaIded. Hersh was brought
to his home in Allegheny, and the fireman
was taken to his home in Butler.
The wreck delayed travel somewhat but
was soon cleared up, and the party who
were on the special continued their trip by
q regular train.
