TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Officer Godbold Charged With Assault.
ing Mr. J. N Wilson and His Son.

The mayor will hold a hearing this
morning of the cases of Mr.. j. N Wilson
and his son Julian, who were arrested, the
former Sunday and the latter Saturday,
on seemingly unwarranted charges by
Policeman GOdbold. Mr.. Wilson was ar
rested in Oglethorpe square. He had his
son with him, and from his appearance
had been very badly bruised up by the
policeman.
In speaking Of the case, Mr.. Wilson
said yesterday that the attacks of God
bold on both him and his son were unwar-
ranted. His son, he says, was assaulted
and arrested Saturday and his treatment
was brutal in the extreme. He himself
experienced the same treatment Sunday,
though for what reason he says he does
not understand.
The hearing of the case will take place
at O'Clock this morning before Mayor
McDonough. 1t is on the information
docket, and, in consequence, no statement
could be obtained from the police.
The arrest of Mr. Wilson grew out of
the arrest of his son. The former was on
his way to the police barracks, when he
met Officer Davis. While talking with
him in reference to his sons arrest, God
bold stepped up, and after some words,
arrested Mr.. Wilson, it is claimed, with
out warrant and in most uncalled for
manner

THE RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
Its 18th Birthday to be Celebrated at
ThunderboIt Tonight.

The Savannah Rife Association, now a
prosperous and growing organization,
which was organized in 1875, will cele-
brate its 1sht birthday by partaking of an
elaborate dinner, which is to be served by
Mrs. Bannon at Thunderbolt this evening
IN her usual good style.
Preparations will be made for seventy
five members and guests this number
having given favorable responses TO cir
cular letter sent out some days ago. The
object of the association is to encourage
rife shooting and the use of rifles of the
most approved patterns. The result of
its teachings are plainly visible on all oc-
casions where the military participate in
target practice, the men of the rife asso-
citation invariably making the best scores
IN their respective military command
The association meets for regular rife
practice every Thursday afternoon during
the summer months, and the members
look forward to these reunions every
week with much pleasure, as all enjoy
the outing.
One of the principal features of the or
ganization is its management, it being I'M
der the absolute control of an executive
committee-consisting of the president,
vice president, secretary and treasurer,
and five other members elected annually.
Every detail is thoroughly arranged by
this committee and the members of the
association have only to attend any Of the
entertainments, and all they are required
to do is to ''hang up their hats" The as
ISOLATION has the finest record of any or
ganization of its kind in the south-having
had the good fortune to always come out
victorious in any struggle with its com
petitors, and it stands to-day ready to en-
terrain a challenge from any similar Or
ganization in the United States.
The rules governing the management of
the association are simple, rigid, but APP
plicable, and are enforced-hence the
prosperity and popularity of the club. All
that is necessary under any circumstances
IS to call attention to the rules and that is
sufficient - politics and religion never
enter into its discussions: hence peace and
harmony reign supreme.
There is a standing premium offered the
member making a score of five cOnsecu-
tive bulls eyes. A handsome gold medal
awaits him who can achieve this posi-
bility. During the eighteen years of its
existence the full score has been made but
twice: In August, 1877, by DR.. John d.
Martin, and in October, 1882, by Capt
James p. White
The membership at this date is about
$50, and embraces some of the best bust
ness men of the city, some of whom are
numbered among its charter members.
The officers for the present year are:
Capt. James w. McAlpin, president; DR.
John ID. Martin, vice president; Mr. John
M Bryan, secretary and treasurer, and
Messrs. j. r. Saussy, G. L. Cope, 4. A
Cults, Davis Freeman and f. G. Wilson
constitute the executive committee.

THE CAUSE OF DEPRESSION.
a Savannahian's Views of the Present
Condition OF the Money Market.

Condition OF the Money Market.
! Capt Henry Blum has some positive
views on the causes responsible for the
present financial depression throughout
/ the country. The state of the money
market" he said yesterday, lis due to a
| considerable extent to a lack of conf
dence and Overtrading in land schemes.
In our own city the trading in land
schemes has taken considerable money
from business channels, and capital so d.
verted will not find its way back for years
to come In New York the gold eXporta-
tons show the balance of trade against
this country, produced by exceIentcrops
OF cereals in Europe and stagnatiOn in
general trade.
The suffering in Europe especially in
England, from the heavy Australian fail
ures and failures at home have made the
people sell everything they could dispose
OF to raise money, and American Securi-
ties were found the readiest TO command
cash. We find our own Wall street
crowded with orders for the sale Of Sc
curities and a most panicky feeling in
consequence.
TO come back closer home, " said Capt.
Blum. lit is natural that own people are
suffering somewhat. The largest inter
est here, the Central railroad, having
ceased to be a distributor Of dividends,
has placed people in a condition where
they have had to part with what was
formerly their living, interest-bearing Sc
curities. This fact, coupled with the low
price of cotton and rice, has
produced natural results PeO-
pie generally have not been
making money and with few exceptions
industries here have shared like fate.
This state of affairs in Savannah and the
whole south cannot last very long. Weak
concerns viii be weeded out and the
stronger ones, which will be able to
weather the storm, win reap the benefit
of renewal Of business, bound to come
sooner or later.
1T is to be hoped that the administra-
ton of President Cleveland win meet with
success in overcoming the difficulties at
present besetting the silver question, and
/ also hope the state government viii take
a sensible view of the railroad question
and put such safeguards around this
property as to enable it to earn something
onthe capital invested. With the present
commissions regulations the outlook is
anything but cheering. While | would
not like to see railroads independent of a
commission, yet the safeguards alluded to
ought to be the prevention Of disastrous
competition"

THE SCHOOL POPULATION.
Augusta Claims to Lead Savannah
in the Number of School Children.

Augusta Claims to Lead Savannah
in the Number of School Children.
Augusta is making the claim that Rich.
mond county has a larger school popula-
ton than Chatham, and the. claim is based
on 4 comparison of figures of the showing
made by Augusta and Savannah.
The recent census gives Augusta IL, 81
and Savannah II, 1859 children between
the school ages Of and IS years. 1t will
be remembered that the total for Chat
ham county is 15.430, as shown by the re-
ports of the sworn Officials. 1t is claimed
that the country portion of Richmond
county viii show $500, or a total for the
county of 1851.
Returns in the majority of counties
where large cities are located show a fall
ing off generally in the country districts,
with a gain in the cities. 1t was so in
Chatham county, and it is quite liable to
be so in Richmond county school officials
claims
Supt. Baker of the public schools says
if Augusta has the school population
claimed he would like to see a compari-
son of the figures showing the attendance
on the schools in the two cities. He says
that is what tells and not the statement
of how many children there are in the
county who are old enough to 90 to school
Savannah has over 1000 enrolled in her
public schools alone
When the last census was taken Rich
mOnd county showed a school population
of about r. $50 while Chatham had ID, 1856
II has been suggested that the school pOpu-
lation in Richmond has increased some
what after the manner of votes when
Tom Watson had to be dOWned.

BACK FROM CHICAGO.
Mr.. J. G. Halle Tells About the Chi
cago Exposition and It's Wonders.


Mr.. ]. C. Halle, general passenger
agent of the Central railroad. has re-
turned from a hurried trip to Chicago.
He went up to take good look at the
fair and see if it was all that it was ad-
vcrtised to be.
Its the grandest thing in conception
and execution that the world has ever
seen, or will ever see again for some time
to come, " said Mr.. Halle yesterday.
Il was particularly interested in the
transportation exhibit. There were en-
gines, cars and tracks there from all parts
of the world Some of the
means of transportation used
by foreign nations are quite
peculiar in design. They are of all kinds
and shapes. There are engines there
larger than the Nancy Hanks, but none
prettier
1T is a mistake" said Mr.. Halle
'about there being charges for seeing
foreign exhibits. Everything can be seen
for so cents, the admission fee, eX-
Cept the shows in what is
known as the Midway plaisance
Here there are a number of foreign vii
lagos, representing the manners, Gus
toms and style of living of people in all
parts of the world. Extra admission is
charged here for the purpose of defray-
ing expenses, but these are not the
foreign exhibits proper. Almost the en-
tire fair can be seen for the price of ad

SOMETHING TO BE LOOKED INTO
Complaints That the Central Neglects
Signaling on the Bay Street Road.

Complaints That the Central Neglects
Signaling on the Bay Street Road.
People who are compelled to use the
Bay street road are complaining of negli-
gence at the railroad crossing on the part
of the Central railroad authorities. They
claim that little or no attempt is made to
warn persons in vehicles of the approach
of trains. and it is only a matter of good
luck that many fatal accidents have not
occurred at the crossing.
When the city and county authorities
agreed upon the opening of Bay street
road the council at first determined to
make the Central put up gates similar to
those in use by the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway at street crossings,
but the authorities asked that they be
allowed an opportunity of trying flag sig
mailing, agreeing to have a Waterman
warn vehicles of the approach of trains
by means of a white flag. They argued
that the gates would prove inconvenient
to the railroad and travelling public and it
would be better for all concerned if gates
could be dispensed with
The council agreed to give the flag sys-
TEN trial, and for few months it was
operated successfully. Then, according
to the compliments, the watchmen be-
came careless in the matter, signaling
people, apparently, when it pleased their
convenience, until now travellers are sur
prised if a white flag happens to be waved
toward them. The only signal used at
the crossing, it is said, is red flag for
the trains, and oftentimes people al
most drive upon the track before they dis
cover the approach Of trains.
MIR. w. G.. Lathrop, who uses the road
a great deal, says the complaint is well
founded, and he win probably bring tho
matter to the attention of the council al

of the three games played.
The games were played in the main

opportunity of seeing every shot made.
The first game, which was won by Nc
Hugh, was rather a wallSover, the score
being 100 TO "A. The longest run was
made by McHugh, 40 points.
The second game was a closer and more
exciting contest. In this event McHugh
also made the longest run, scoring 90 He
led Blum easily into the seventies, but at
this point the latter took a squirt and
plucked victory from apparent defeat.
The score was 100 to 50 in his favor
The third and deciding game was q
pretty exhibition. The blood of both
players was up, and many magnificent
shots We're made. Each took a turn in
leading and the excitement of the audience
kept apace with the game. When Mr.
Blum finally made the winning run the
spectators gave vent to their feelings by
applauding vigorously
Mr.. John A. Goette acted as referee,
and gave general satisfaction.
President Gleason presented the prize
at the conclusion ofthe games in neat
speech. Besides the association gold
medal Mr.. Blum was awarded a pair OF
diamond-set cuff buttons. Mr.. McHugh
got the second prize gold seal ring.

Attic park dress parade took place and
company drills were held by the various
companies. The Savannah Hussars had
a good turnout and the Georgia Artillery
had out two guns. The park was filled
with colored people to witness the dis
play. Savannah's colored soldiery never
made better showing. The company
drills, the marching and maneuvers and
the armament and equipment were a
credit both to the officers and men.
During part of the march one of the
companies carried its flag with the union
down. The oversight was corrected, how
ever, before the parade reached the park.
The reversed flag caused considerable
comment and aroused some curiosity
until it was put right side up.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
A Special Meeting TO Consider Com
plant Mr.. D. P. Myerson.


The county commissioners held a spe-
cial meeting yesterday to consider the
complaint of Mr.. d. p. Myerson in regard
to the draining Of his land on the Waters
road.
He was under the impression that the
DeRenne canal was being dug through his
land, whereas it is really some distance
from it. 1t was the new Casey canal
which is being put through his place, as
was agreed to by him some time ago, and
this was explained to him.
After things had been explained salts
factorily it was agreed that the commits
sioners were to put a bridge across the
new Casey canal connecting Mr. Myer-
sons lands, and that they were to have
the two old Casey canals filed up. These
were exactly the terms of the original
agreement.
The condition of the bridge on Schwarz
avenue, which is somewhat dilapidated.
was referred to the committee on roads
and bridges.

THE PUBLIC BUILDING DELAY.
Mayor McDonough to Write Letter
to the Treasury Department.

Mayor McDonough is going to make
another effort to hurry the work on Sa-
vannahs new public building, and if that
fails he will probably ask the trade bodies
TO meet with the city council and take
official action to urge upon the govern
ment the necessity Of commencing work
at once.
Some time ago Mayor McDonough
wrote to the supervising architect of the
treasury about the matter and received a
reply that the plans of the building were
being prepared and when they were
finished there would be no further delay.
The mayor thinks it is about time the
plans were completed, and he said yester-
day, in speaking of the matter, that he
would write another letter to the treas
ury department explaining how the peo-
pie feel over the delay, and asking that
prompt action be taken in the premises.
