REV. BRICHT'S MISTAKE.
He Wrote That Savannah Was Not
Educating COlOTed Children.

The Statements in His Letter of APP
peal For Aid to a Wealthy Boston
Lady Find Their Way Back to Savan-
nah, and Fall Into the Hands of Mr..
George Appleton-Hsr Letter Shown
to Supt. Baker, Who Shows Where
Rev. Bright Misstated the Facts in
the Case.
Supt. w H. Baker, of thepublic schools,
had his attention called yesterday to a
most outrageous piece of misrepresenta-
tion Of the city of Savannah, perpetrated,
it seems, by Rev. Richard Bright, rector
of St. Stephens Episcopal church, colored.
1t seems that Rev Bright wrote let
ter some time recently to wealthy and
benevolent lady of Boston, Mass, asking
for aid for the ''colored schools of Savan-
nah," and fortified his petition by
the statement that the city of Sa-
vannah had never done anything
for the education of the
colored children. He made an earnest
appeal for help to educate the colored
children.
The lady to whom the letter was adj
dressed happened to know Mr.. George
Appleton, of Bryan county, who spends
good part Of his time in Savannah. She
wrote Mr. Appleton, informing him of
the statements made by Rev. Bright,
and asked him to investigate and inform
her of the real state of affairs,
MR.. APPLETON INDIGNANT.
Mr.. Appleton was very indignant at the
reports sent out by Bright, as he knew
them to be false, but the better TO ascer-
tain the real situation he called upon
superintendent Baker and informed him
OF his errand.
To say that Superintendent Baker was
indignant when he heard the nature of
the report that had been sent out about
Savannah's public schools, barely ex-
presses his state of mind. He informed
Mr.. Appleton that there are now ZOO col
ored children in attendance upon the public
schools of Savannah with a total of
thirty teachers In addition there are in
the county schools, which are also under
Supt Bakers supervision, nearly as
many more colored children as there are
in the city schools. In the whole county,
including the city, there are nearly as
many colored children in attendance
upon the school as there are white chill
dren.
NOT BORNE OUT By FACTS.
Superintendent Baker showed Mr.. APP
pleton the reports from the colored school
principals, substantiating these figures.
He also informed him that the money
spent for the education of eolored chill
dren in Chatham county, amounted to
great deal more than the total amount of
taxes paid for all purposes by the colored
people OF the county.
Mr.. Appleton will write the lady in
Boston to whom Bright appealed for aid
in educating the colored children of
Savannah and will furnish her with the
facts with regard to the education of col
ored children here.
This showing places Rev. Rich
ard Bright in a very bad light AS pastor
of the most fashionable colored church of
the city he has occupied position of con-
siderable prominence
If it is possible for him to make any ex-
PLANTATION it would be well for him to do
so

ing to organize q commercial club last
Wednesday night to canvass the city in
the interests of such club met last night
at Erwin, duBignon & Chisholm's Office,

mittee and the meeting was very salts
factory. The reports were very encOura-
ging TO the success of the organization.

vass, and to meet again at Erwin, du-
Bignon q Chisholms Office on Wednes-

names before entering upon an organiza-
ton.
The following set of resolutions passed
at the last meeting sets forth the objects
of the club:
Whereas. Certain business men of the city
of savannah deem that commercial club,
formed for the purpose Of business and social
features, will be of great benefit to the COM
mercal interests of savannah; and,
Whereas Such organizations in Atlanta,
Macon and Augusta have resulted in great
good to the various branches of trade repre-
scented in those cities, aside from the benefits
of bringing together the various business in
terests in friendly manner, whereby an in
terchaage of ideas and business views can be
brought about, and the opportunity can be
had Of extending fayors and privileges to
their friends and patrons, as are shown them
elsewhere;
Resolved, That those gentlemen in sympa-
thy with this movement be, and are hereby
instructed to canvass the names of promi-
nent business men presented to this meeting.
and other names that may hereafter be pre-
scented for membership asking their aid and
cooperation in the organization of this club.
Mr.. Joseph Hull, Mr.. W. .. Krenson,
Mr. l. B. I'ie1eman, Mr.. w. S. Chisholm
and other well-known gentlemen have
interested themselves in the project and
are satisfied that their efforts viii meet
with success.

There is long history connected with

business was dull and their ships were

News, too, is scarce.
Writing against space is hard work, but
it must be done sometimes.
The retail merchants are complaining
because the weather is too warm, so a
frost is ordered.
The cotton merchants are quite busy,
handling the staple while the weather is
fair. The big ships are being loaded with
the products of the pine tree and the cot

beef to bother with reports.
What's to be done2
Some people too dull to talk, while
others too busy to tell you how it's DONE
Never mind, the winter is coming and
arrangements are being made for a good
lively time in all trades. Just because
Logan is so progressive and energetic
he catches all the trade during the dull
season and thereby is kept busy all the
year around. He is willing, however, to
give all the rest a chance. His business
is large, and he does not want the earth.
All he requires and wishes is that his
regular customers would come direct to
him, now, and make arrangements to be
regularly served during the winter.
They will save about 25 per cent. by
doing this, for beef is going up' and
those who wish to put it down and enjoy
every tender cut, will take advantage OF
this opportunity to reduce expenses. Go

MAKES A COMPLAINT.
Geo. FersterlinR Says His Son Was
Whipped by a Policeman.


Mr. Geo. Fersterling, the engineer at
the works of the Knickerbocker Ice Com
pany, called at the MORNING NEWS Office
last night and stated that an outrage had
been committed on his son Freddy Fers-
terling, aged 81 years.
My son" said MIR. Fersterling, "was
arrested on Thursday afternoon, Oct. l8,
at $3.50 o'clock, by policeman No So on
West Broad street, together with another
boy of about the same age named Tommy
Monroe. They were arrested for taking
an apple and an orange from push cart.
They were taken to the barracks
and kepj there until about
o'clock. My son concealed the matter
from me until yesterday, because afraid
of further punishment. While there he
was whipped, as was also the Monroe
boy, by some policeman, and yesterday he
began to feel pain from the effects of it,
which led him to tell me. l thought it an
outrage and l went to the barracks to
inquire about it, The officers there could
tell me nothing about the matter, and
there was no record of the arrest on the
books. live at 22S Bryan street"
The police deny that there Is any truth
in the claim and say they know nothing

CONVICTS FALLING OFF.
Maj. Blandford Says There Are Four
Discharges to One Addition.

MAJ. Blandford Says There Are Four
Discharges to One Addition.
Maj, Blandford, the county engineer
who has charge of county convict camps,
says the number of men is on the de-
crease, and that the work is not pro-
crossing as rapidly as it did, on account
of it.
He says, while only five convicts were
turned over to the gangs yesterday, there
will be sixteen discharges to-day and to-
morrow, and that during the past week
or two there have been from three to
four discharges for every addition that
was made to the gangs from the courts.
The number has been falling of in this
way for some days, and now there are only
about $50 on the county works. where
there were about 200 month
or six weeks ago. There seems to have
been a decrease in the criminal tenden-
cies among that class of Savannah's popu-
lation, for the courts have been doing
their duty whenever called upon.
The work on the canals is progressing
as rapidly as possible, however, under the
circumstances of the decrease in the num-
Der of men, and all the forces are being
concentrated on the main canals, which
are being pushed rapidly to completion.

WITH THE COURT OF APPEALS.
The Question of the Terminals $4,000
Shares in Its Last Hands.

oAdIGS III Aus 440SJ 6dAOS.
The question of the voting power of the
Richmond Terminate A., 900 shares of Cen
trail railroad stock now rests in the last
judicial hands that win have anything to
do with deciding it.
The announcement that the case had
been carried to the United States court of
appeals at New Orleans appeared in yes
terday's MORNING NEWS The case was
carried up by MIR Daniel w. Rountree,
attorney for Mrs. Rowena NJ. Clarke and
other stockholders, and was an appeal
from the decision of Justice Jackson
who had given back voting power TO the
stock and dismissed the bill, stating that
it had served its purpose after the prop
erty had been put in the hands of the re-
ceiver, and that it should have been dis
missed then.
Mr.. Rountree had, under the law,
three years in which to make the appeal,
and his clients were required to give a
bond of $500 to cover costs of court be-
fore the appeal could be made. Judge
Pardee, who is one of the three judges
who sits at the Louisiana circuit court OF
appeals, can not sit in this case, as he has
already had il before him as circuit Judge
in Macon, when he ruled the AZ 900 shares
out, and decided that they had no rights
under the Georgia constitution in Central
railroad elections.

Last year the classes in the Henry

what the contractors stated it would
The heater was taken down this sum
