Great Pony and Dog Show.

Prof. Gentry's great pony and dog show
appears on corner of South Broad and Whitaker
streets under tent to morrow night and every
night during the week, with matinee Wednes-
day and Saturday. His knowledge of animals
and his power over them is little short of mar
We GUS, and the interesting feature of it all is
that he accomplishes everything by kindness
alone. He never undertakes to train pony or
a dog unless he knows that the animal is train
able, as it were, and he has an extraordi mary
faculty for determining the fact. Then he goes
to work and acquires the friendship and love Of
the animal, that is he makes perfect mash IS
and then he can do what he pleases with it, He
Is patience personited, and never gives I'D a
course OF training until success has crowned his
effort; for instance it took him eghtlmonths to
train the little dog Barney" to turn somer-
saults-but he psrsevered until now there is no
dog IN the country that can equal his gyratorv
feats. ANY one who has seen his performances
will acknowledge that his power over the brute
kingdom is more then wonderful. Kindness
and patience are the only forces he uses and
one can see their potency in the results Of his
training. Gentry is only 2S years old now, but
in the Intelligent training OF animals he is 90

ELECTED SURE.
Pertinent Reasons Why the Candi
dates of the PeopIe's Choice Wins

Pertinent Reasons Why the Candi-
dates of the Peoples Choice Wins.
1t is not a political move or demonstra-
ton Of the favors shown the constituents
who require that the candidate should look
after their special Interests for the sake of a
pull, but good, square business like under
taking that attracts the attention Of every
one to the market OF Savannah, where they
meet the candidate for public patronage,
and once there vote Hugh Logan, the
butcher most worthy Of support.
The reason why.
1t makes no matter whether you 60 there
at o'clock in the morning, at s o'clock
when business is in full blast, or at the
eleventh hour" when everything is ready
to close up, Logan or his genial assistants
are there ready to serve the choicest cuts of
meats. This fact is demonstrated every
day, for Logan keeps only the very finest
meats that can be had, and if you do not
get there when the grand display is placed
upon the stalls you will always find that the
refrigerators are well supplied with lust as
good beef as ever was butchered.
An increasing business and an snviable
reputation is all, but that is sufficient evil
dence that the public has elected H. Logan
the most popular butcher in the oity.-dd.

RAIL AND CROSsTIE.

A petition for Incorporation has been
filed with the Alabama secretary Of state
by w. G. LanleT, Phil Lanier, r. Lanier
and r. A. 5. Freeman of West Point: h. f.
Lanier of Americas, H. Lanier of Atlanta,
Ga, and l.. Lauier Of Chambers county,
Alabama, asking the issuance of a commits

chez Valley Railroad Company, to be estab-
lshed and built near West Point, Ga. run
ming to Eufsula, Ala, with q capital stock
OF 100000 lii shares OF 300 each, which
may be increased not to exceed 81 900, 600.
The question Of reduced rates to the
worlds fair is already vexed one among
the railroads. 1t is likely toha more 30 be-
fore the travel to the exposition opens up.
There Is already a manifest desire on the
part Of the public to know what the roads
are going to do ia this matter. That the
fare will be very low there is no question,
but the question is, how low will it bes
New York papers are egitating the question
every day. They are urging q round trip
rate of such cheapness as will make il posi-
stble for every man, woman and child to go,
it matters not what their income Upon sue
arrangements ell over the country depends
the success of the fair. But can the roads
afford to make such low rates! They are
going to be put to great expense in prepar-
ing for the travel ia the way Of purchasing
new coaches and new engines to handle the
passenger business. Those cars and
engines must be paid for, and more
than paid for, to make the travel
profitable to them. 1t must be remembered
that such rolling stock bought for this
emergency will be a dead load on their
hands after the fair, just as Chicago which
is now enjoying an unprecedented building
boom in the way of apartment houses and
hotels, is going to have herd Of elephants
in that line on its hands afSer the close Of
the exposition. A number of quiet meet
| ings have been held already in the south,
between passenger agents. it is said, rela-
| tive to this question of fare. Usually at
these meetings the question of rates is dis
cussed in conjunction with rates to and
from the city to the fair. This tends to
complicate matters. 1t is conceded, how
ever, that the rate will be made at least as
low as one fare for the round trip.

THE DOCTOR AND MAJOR
EALLIGANT SAYS sCHWARz WILL
DO NOTHING TO INJURs HIM.

The Physician-Candidste for the
Meyoralty Speaks Glowingly of
Schwarz's Administration, and Com
pliments the German Citizens-A
Bluff at Mai Schwarz by a Harmon
Deputstioa Falls Flet-Dr. FaIirant
Says re IS Not Trying to Injufe
Anybody's Chances, But He Wants
the flee for Himself
Despite the fact that the great struggle
between the political parties for national
supremacy is close at hand local politics are
holding their own and the municipal con-
test is getting warmer. IL is said that
deputation of Alderman Harmon's sup
porters from the Fort called upon Mai.
Schwarz night before last aud notified him
that if he consented to oppose their favorite
he would be buried politically forever in
Savannah. Maj. Schwarz took in coolly
what his callers had to say,
and then intimated 20 them in
sufficiently plain language that he is old
enough to mind his own affairs without any
suggestions from them. The deputation, it
is understood, left Maj. Schwarz in any
thing but an amisble mood at the failure
Of the bluff TO get him to state his position,
as this was evidently what was sought.
DIR. Falligant is canvassing lively, and
says he feels tiattered at his prospects. He
promises to make the campaign an exceed
ingly warm one later, and If the doctor
follows the line he now has in mind he will
make it uncomfortable for some of the can
didates. A MORNING NEWS reporter, while
talking with DR.. Fslligant yesterday, asked
what he thought Mai SChwarZ would do in
the present campaign.
HERE'S TO THE GERMANS.
There was serene composure in the doc
tors countenanc5 as he replied: Mai.
Schwarz will do nothing to injure me.
think you will find in the approaching CAM
paign that the Germans sill show their ap-
probation OF my work in assisting to make
Maj. Schwarz's administration famous, as
the only one in the history Of Savannah up
to that time, which had the courage to make
every class bear its just share of the bur-
dens of taxation. In this glori us
achievement the record of Mai.
Schwarz stands without a parallel, and the
sturdy, honest hearts OF the German people
will let you know how they appreciate the
faIthfulness with which | stood bV him even
in the hour of defeat-a defeat which will
ever remain Frightened by the memories Of
the good work accomplished during the first
and only term of German as mayor OF
Savannah
Doctor, it has been said that you have
no idea Of being elected mayor and came
into the field only to aid in defeating Alder
man Harmon"
"Such is not the case" replied DR.. Falli-
giant. II have announced myself and am
in the field to be elected mayor of Savannah
for the benefit OF the whole people"

DISCUSSING TIE RATES.
Insurance Agents Talk of the Increase,
But Do Nothing.

Secretary 8. Y. Upper of the Southeastern
Tariff Association spent yesterday in the
city. Thomas EgQleston, general agent of
the Hartford Fire Insurance Company; w.
F. PattiIlo Of Atlanta and several special
agents met NJ. Upper here.
In the afternoon these gentlemen met a
committee of local agents at the office Of the
Savannah Board OF Fire Under writer's and
discussed with them the present tariff OF
rates which, as is well known, has
caused great dissatisfaction since its inaug.
uratioa several months ago.
The conference lasted nearly the entire
afternoon. Most OF the Insurance men left
the city by the night trains, and, therefore
could not be seen. The local agents who
were seen said the meeting was merely an
informal one, and without any special i'm
pOrtance. The general agents present at
the meeting did not represent the South
eastern Tariff Association they said, but
only their respective companies.
The whole ground was talked over with
the arguments pro and con on both sides
with regard to the reasons for increasing
the rates and the prospects for decreasing
them, with all OF which the public mas be-
come familiar. The visiting agents said
that nothing would likely be done until Sa-
vannah gets her new water supply, and
then there would be some improvements
necessary in the city's water main and the
workings of the fire department before any
reduction in rates could be considered.
Something was also said about incendiary
fires, upon which score the agents consider
Savannah 20 have a very black record,
with nothing to her credit in the way of any
attempts at detection or conviction.

Suwennee Springs Property to Be

Sold in Thirty Days.
The Suwannee Sulphur Springs property
will be sold out within thirty days by order
OF the United States circuit court sitting at
jacksonville. A final decree Of foreclosure
has been issued in the case 10 favor Of the
Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Company Of
Savannah. trustee for the bondholders.
Mr.. Andrew Hanley Of Savannah owns
almost the entire issue OF $4,000 OF bonds
of the company, besides majority Of the
stock. Mr.. Hanley said yesterday
that the hotel will not be discontinued, but
will continue operations as at present. Mr..
hanleY or company of Savannah gentle
men will probably buy in the property for
the bondholders.
He and several other well-known Savan-
nahians, who have great confidence in the
virtue OF the waters of the Suwannee Sui
phur Springs, having had personal ex-
perience Of their healing powers, have en-
deavored to establish the place as a health
resort. Owing to the character Of the
railroad accommodations, they have met
with but poor success, and the experiment
has been losing one.
The springs are located on the Gainesville
branch OF the Savannah Florida and
western railway, aud the railway authori-
ties claim that the traffic on this branch
does not warrant a double daily service.
Parties going from Savannah to Suwannee
are compelled to take an all-night ride
without sleeper. The railway authorities
claim also that the travel on this branch
does not warrant sleeping car service.
They gave one sleeping car week during
the past season.
Suwannee Springs has gained a wide rep
utation for the healing power Of its waters,
and it 10 believed that with better railroad
accommodations the place could be main
tanned at profit.
