While the firemen were out yesterday
exercising the horses with the hose wagon
the front axle broke square in two in the

Music Festival Notes.

Whoever heard of such success. A full
grown musical festival worked up In
splendid style in only ten days time.
Unbounded enthusiasm on the part Of the
singers and as result the Rraudest music
yet heard in Savannah. Our leading citi-
zens have attended rehearsals nightly and
express their commentator in highest
terms Of praise.
The concerts will be grand. Over 100 of
of the very finest voices in Savannah, di-
rected by one of the very best conductors
Of America. Judge his work by the re-
suits and you will marvel how it could
possibly be done in so few rehearsals.
Nearly every seat sold In the house.
The public rehearsal this afternoon at 4
o'clock will be most interesting. Ad-
mistance only 25 cents. Tickets at the
door.
Remember that the coucarts and public
reheersals will be at MASONIC HALL.
The enlarged stage. with terraced seats
and tasteful decorations, will be a beautiful
picture.
Only one mistake-too much for the
money. Seats ought to have been a dollar
each.
All money made over running expenses
to go for the next festival in 1894.
Ten OF Macon's leading vocalists and
pianists will assist in solos and duets.
Read the programme published else
where, and see what a grand feast is pre-
pared for music lovers.

the choruses.-dd

Two HEAVY DEPOSITS.
How Central Securities Are COMING
in and Why They Are Slow

How Central Securities Are Coming
in and Why They Are Slow
One heavy deposit Of Central railroad Sc
curities was made yesterday morning at
the Southern Bank, aggregahng in value
$4,000 and legal negotiations were made for
another heavy deposit aggregating 800 900,
which will probably be made to-day. The
amount of securities deposited yesterday,
perhaps. aggregated more than on any day
OK the five during which deposits have been
received
While they are not coming in rapidly yet,
and will not begin to do 80 until the South
western matter has been definitely settled,
which will be a matter of perhaps two
weeks, Vice President Crane has his hands
full in issuing the receipts and giving in
structions TO those who apply for them. To
obviate this difficulty when the big rush
comes circular will be issued in a day or
two giving full directions as to what course
is to be pursued in forwarding the
securities.
Knowing that they have until April l,
security holders are delaying the matter Of
sending in as long as possible 80 as to learn
the developments up to the last moment
This will result in an immense amount Of
securities being sent in at the same time,
and will keep number of the bank clerks
busy for several days issuing receipts None
OF the securities have been forwarded to
the Mercantile Trust Company as yet and
this will not probably be done until the full
acquiescence of the Southwestern directors
in the reorganization plan is announced,
though there is little doubt as to its being
given. Receiver Conner says it will be an
easy matter to get in the securities
next month and transmit them
TO New York as soon es
all differences are settled, which will be
by or before the first Of next month, when
all will be smooth sailing.
Strange to say, the holders of those se-
curities which have been treated most liber-
ally in the reorganization plan" said Vice
President Crane yesterday, ''are the most
backward and hesitating about sending
them in; but when they zee the others con-
forming TO the plans, they will realize that
the proposed plan of reorganization is the
best thing that can be done for the system
toward holding it together. and will prob
ably acquiesce willingly in its provisions. "

COL. PowELL's LECTURE.

He Did the Order No Harm BY His
Exposition of Its Workings.
Col. J. H. Powell of Kentucky enter
tanned an audience of about 200 at the
Masonic hall last night with his lecture.
"Pythianism Exposed"
The lecturer was introduced In fitting
terms by Mr.. w. 7. Leopold Of the Knights
of Pythias, under whose auspices the lecture
was given Mr. Leopold spoke of the lecture
as the exposition of that which the order
had so long endeavored to keep secret, and
introduced Col. Powell as the Mountain
Howlern from Henderson, KY.
Col Powell began his lecture with an
ideal and fanciful description of the ini-
tiation Of one Isaac Eichstein into the mys-
tic and secret Pythian order, and very hu-
morously brought up all the old secret order
myths about the slippery pole, the intracta-
BILE goat, the painted devils and the fiery
serpents, through the mazes of which he led
the eager but unwilling initiate. He then
mingled in his talk little pathos, aud with
the power of James or Warde, told the
beautiful and stirring story of Damon and
Pythiss, and how their undying friendship
was made the foundation Of the order which
has spread from ocean to ocean and even
across the seas.
The remainder Of his lecture was de-
voted to the advocacy of Pythiansm and its
doctrines, in 30 far as they are known Co
the outside world. The lecture brought
forth frequent applause from the
audience, especially when Col Powell
| closed with a glowing tribute TO woman
and womanhood.
The object of the lecture was to raise
money to aid in purchasing the para
phernalia for the six Knights of Pythias
lodges in the city for the new ritual, and
financially it may be considered fair sue
cess.
Col. Powell is a natural orator, easy and
graceful in his bearing and language, but
so far as the exposition Of any of the mys-
teries of Pythianism is concerned, the
order will suffer by nothing that Col. Pow
ell said.

TEE KNIears OF DAMON.
Savannah's Branch OF the Order
Throws Up the Sponge.

Savannah's Branch OF the Order
Throws Up the Sponge.
Some time during the latter part of last
summer Mr.. Lewis Lowenthal Of Macon
came to Savannah to organize a branch
lodge of the Knights Of Damon. a secret
insurance order which was founded in
Macon several years ago and has its head
quarters there.
Mr.. LowenthAl met with fairly good sue
cess, and before he had been In the city long
be had quite a number Of prospective initi-
ates enrolled and drew a good fat initiation
fee of Sl2 so or whereabouts out Of each of
the new members Of the lodge. The men,
bers were formally initiated, and for quite
q while everything moved along smoothly.
Yesterday it was reported that this end
Of the order had disbanded, and that the
entire lodge had gone under in a manner
very similar TO the road run by the Iron
Hall and others OF a like nature. The lat
ter part Of the story ID contradicted, but
Mr.. Isaac Sternberg, who was the secretary
OF Ssvannah's lodge, confirms the report OF
its disbanding.
Mr.. Sternborg says that there is abso-
lutely no truth in the report that the order
has gone under, as 1t is now and has always
been paying its losses whenever deaths oc-
Cured. He says the reason the local branch
decided to disband was because the members
Adu 64dulHlbQ bu6 pihu Vi bub
lodge and found that they would lose rather
than gain by it; that is. they would, as a
rule, pay more into the order than they
would get out of it In case OF death.
Mr.. Sternberg said that there are some
who are dissatisfied with the way the order
was conducted and feel like they have been
beaten out of their money, consequently the
talk about the failing Of the order. Mr..
Sternberg is satisfied, however, that be was
not duped, whatever some Of the other
members may think.
The Savannah lodge will hold another
meeting Friday night TO wind up all bust
ness, and the then Savannah knights OF
Damon will be no more
Whatever has happened to the order, it
is evident that something is going wrong or
is about to 90 wrong. From Mr.. Stern
berg's statement 1t seems that the order is
money-making scheme through aud
through, since the average member prob
ably pays in more than be gets out in the
long run. At least it does not seem to be a
mutual benefit organization so far as the
individual member is concerned.

Arrangements for Their Visit to Wash.

The Husssrs have completed their ar
rangements for their Washington trip.
They will have between forty and fifty
troopers on parade on Inauguration day,
and 1t goes without saying that no soldiery
on that auspicious occasion will do more
credit to themselves than SaVannah's con-
tingeut.
Gov. Northen and his staff will themselves
make quite company, with that veteran
of the confederate cruiser Alabama,
Col. J. Mcintosh Kell, adjutaut general !;
Col A. j. West and twenty-five aids. The
governor and his staff will be mounted.
The state flag OF the Georgia Hussars will
be used as the standard of the state, and
will be carried in front of the governor by
Col, John Milledge, supported by a guard
20 the standard composed of veterans from
the Hussars. The governor and a part OF
his staff will leave Atlanta on March 2
about the same time the Hussars leave Sa-
vAnnah. Some of the governors aids will
go direct to Washington and report to him
there.

Capt Purses Reception at the
Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
Capt. D. G. Purse returned last night
from Charleston, where he was a guest of
the Charleston Chamber Of Commerce at
lite annual dinner night before last.
Capt. Purse was given royal reception
on his arrival in Charleston and was
royalty entertained during his stay in the
city. He was met at the depot
and escorted to the Charleston hotel.
Mrs. Purse was received by the ladies.
After a reception IN the hotel parlors Capt.
Purse was escorted to the banquet and sat
at the right of the president of the chamber
of commerce. Capt Purses speech at
the banquet was warmly received.
In abiding to the history Of early trade
organizations he pointedly referred to the
Henseatlc league aud its results In
dwelling upon the trade organiza-
tions of to-day Capt. Purse said
"ln the scope Of their usefulness the inter
ests of every citizen are conserved by the
growth and activity OF commercial bodies
and in turn every citizen should feel 1t his
pleasure, as it made his duty, so sustain
them. 1t is a mistaken idea in which many
indulge to justify the Withholding OF sup
port that these bodies are only valuable to
people who are directly concerned in the
rise and fall of prices in grain, groceries
cotton and the long list Of articles produced
or manufactured that go to make up
country's commerce in material concerns
In our day, as in the twelfth century, q
grander field is open for the work OF these
bodies, and, when the emergency demanded
It, they have always shown themselves
equal to the occasion"

FOR ALACK OF TAGS.
Several Tons of Fertilizers Detaine
In Savannah.

Several Tons of Fertilizers Detained
in Savannah.
A number of tons Of fertilizers which
reached Savannah recently en- route to other
points are detained in the city by the in-
spector because he has not the requisite
tags Of the Georgia commonwealth at hand
to put on the bags certifying TO the fact
that they have been inspected and come up
to the required standard.
These tags have to be put on all fertilizers
used in Georgia. When brought into the
state the fertilizers must be inspected and
tagged at once before they can be sold. The
tags used are printed In New York, and the
inspector here has allowed his supply to run
short, 80 there were none at hand with
which to tag this lot Of fertilizers. Cons
sequeutly it Is detained here and will be
held until the inspector can receive a new
lot Of tags
just why It is necessary to 60 60 New
York to have Georgia fertilizer tags printed
is rather hard matter to understand when
the work can be done as we'll, IL not better
in Georgia and at the saving in expense OF
the difference made by the express charges.
Had the work been done in the state where
fresh supply could be obtained at few
moments or few hours notice at the out
side, this difficulty would have been obvt-

Some days ago Marshal J. n. Lee OF
Warsaw was suspended from duty tenn
porarily by Mayor Fennen on account of
his rudeness when acting in his official ca
pacity in collecting liquor licenses. In
many respects Mr.. Lee has made a fairly
good marshal during his brief tenure of
that office, and he has generally succeeded
in accomplishing whatever task be had In
the line Of his duty.
Lee says that his suspension amounts TO
the same as a dismissal with him, as he
will not accept it again. J. Z. Bowen, an
