GETTING LABOR STATISTICS.
Capt. James F. Tucker of the Labor De
partment Looking Up History.

Capt. Tucker special agent of the United
States department of labor, has been in
the city for some days gathering informa-
ton, statistical and otherwise, for that
department with regard to the labor
troubles that have occurred in Savannah
for the last seven years.
He has been deVoting much of his time
to the examination of newspaper files in
order to get the information on which to
conduct further investigation, and the re-
port that is to be prepared as the result of
this work will no doubt be an interesting
one. The department has special agents
in all parts of the country working on the
histories of the different labor troubles
that have occurred within that period
The researches begin with Jan. 1, 1887
and extend to June 80, 1894.
Capt. Tucker forwards a report of his
work to the department every week When
the report is finally made up it will be sub
mitted to congress before being pub
lished. The purpose of the department is
simply to get the history and the statistics
of strikes and labor troubles from a bust
ness standpoint, so that economists, labor
| organizations and others who will
have the actual facts on which
! to base their tSeores and arguments.
| These facts will be strictly impartial and
the policy of the department is to make
| them as accurate as possible.
| Capt. Tucker is not allowed to say any
thing about the information he gathers
until it has been published. He regards
the freight handlers strike Capt. Tucker
railroad wharf and the longshoremen' 8
| strike Of this year as the most serious OF
| the labor troubles Savannah has had with
in that time His work is largely confined
| to the south and he is a resident of Florida
living in the orange section, near Brooks
Vile In working up his information on
! the freight handlers strike at the Central
| has interviewed over 200 people, and he will
| have almost as many to see with regard to
| the longshoremens strike. Capt. Tucker
| has also worked up an extensive statistical
report on the phosphate industry in Flor
| ida and South Carolina.

POLICE STILL IN RESERVE.
No Signs Yet of Any Trouble on the
WharVes.

A search along the river front and among
the haunts of the longshoremen yester-
day failed to show any indication or in
tention of trouble. Nowhere was there
a ripple of excitement. The police reserve
spent the day in the barracks, but was
not called on.
The longshoremen and their friends ex-
pressed surprise at the order holding the
police in reserve. In fact, the announce
ment in yesterdays Morning News
created surprise all around. No sus-
picion seemed to have crossed the mind
of the public that there was any prospect
of trouble ahead. A man who has had
dealings with the longshoremen, and who
keeps up with their movements pretty
well, said: 81 can tell you there are not
enough white lOngshOremen left in the
city to create any serious trouble. The
majority of them have left the city, and
of those remaining here nearly all are
employed at one thing and another, many
of them watching ships. They are not in
the hlmor for violence just now"
Chief Green was reticent about the
movements of the police. He said, how.
ever, that there had been no intimatior
of any trouble and he expected none. 81
have my ORDERS he said, land that is all
l know about it."
A portion of the reserve was allowed ia
go home in the afternoon and the same
privilege was accorded to the night re-
serve. A large force is still held in re-
serve at the barracks, however subject
to orders, and will continue there until
the mayors orders.

SINCLAIR WAS DIVORCED.
Mr.. West Says the Story About His
Double Marriage is Nonsense.

~Ae+AAAt+ SC - -NN-IS-1~s
There are many people in Savannah who
will remember Mr.. William Sinclair, a
gentleman Of Baltimore who was at the
Pulaski house for some months in 1885.
He was detained here by an accident to
his leg, which was treated by DR.. Martin.
He had been brilliant merchant and
man OF affairs, and was gentleman OF
great generosity and bon ami. These
facts are recalled by the dispatch TO the
Morning News yesterday announcing that
il was claimed by some of the heirs to his
large estate. that he had two wives.
knowing that Mr.. Charles y. West was
his legal adviser for a long time, a repre-
sentative of the Morning News asked him
yesterday for information concerning the
reported double marriage. Mr.. West
stated that Mr.. Sinclair while very
young man, on visit TO the south, mar
ried Miss Rosale Perpau. The mar
riage, he said, turned out very unhap-
PLY, and they were separated for many
years, Mrs. Sinclair living al St. Angus
tine and Jacksonville and Mr.. Sinclair in
the north.
Mr.. Sinclair" he said, after some ten
years or more, applied for divorce in the
state of Ohio, which was the state Of
his residence, and it was obtained in con-
tormity with law. / was not counsel in
obtaining the divorce, and did no know of
- ~ my hAAo rouge buL nave seen
case, and for many years the alimony
payable under the decree of the court to
Mrs. Sinclair passed through my hands
to Mrs. Sinclair's trustee, being paid even
after her death, when the balance due
her at that time was paid over to her ad-
ministrator. There was no secret about
the divorce whatsoever. Within my own
knowledge, some years after the divorce
was obtained, Mr.. Sinclair remarked, the
lady being Mrs. Taylor, sister of Mai.
+. w. Coleman, at one time manager of
the Carrollton hotel at Baltimore, and
now of Washington city. The second Mrs.
Sinclair was a most estimable lady, and
the mother of very brilliant young
lawyer of New York, Robert c. Taylor,
Esq.
II understand there is a suit filed for
partition in New York among the heirs
OF Mrs. Sinclair who take an interest by
Inheritance. there being no WILL and that
Mrs. Rosalie Sinclair, the first WIFE has
been Joined as a party defendant, but that
is an error of fact upon the part of the
heirs, not only because of the divorce, but
because of the death of the first wife some
years ago. All the rest of the talk about
the matter such as the claim that Mr.
Sinclair was not legally divorced, or that
the first Mrs. Sinclair's kindred make
any claim to Sinclair's estate is so wild
that it can hardly be serious, and must
be mere imaginary ornamentatiOn. The
facts were very simple and very plain
an unfortunate marriage, a divorce and re-
marriage. l have in my own hands album
dant proof that the first Mrs. Sinclair
abded by the divorce. The idea that Sin
clair while married to his first wife and
undivorced, married q second wife is abso-
Lutte nonsense and Unnecessary distress
brought to most reputable family"

wAsHERwoMEN MUST PAY.
Street Gar Fares Five Cents for Them
When They Garry Their Washing.

When They Garry Their Washing.
The street car lines have always done a
good sized freight traffic in washings Sat
urdays and Mondays.
Since the penny fares have been put on
the electric railway has determined to get
something out of it or at least not to ex-
tend the cheap fare to the washerwomen
with bundles of soiled clothes three or four
times their size.
The washerwomen are now notified
when they board a car that the fare with
the package will be five cents. While a
good many of them walk as a result Of
what they think is curtailment of their
privileges a few put up their nickel and
pile their bundle on the front platform.
If the thing keeps up 1t may be necessary
for the railroad commission to fix a rate on
washings
The refusal of a good many washer
women to ride at the advanced fare is an
evidence of how the general public will
feel when the patrons of the cars at a
penny ride are asked to put their hands
in their pockets for a nickel to paw MS
much for one ride as is now paid for five
1t will tend to increase the patronage of the
side walks and boom the bicycle trade. It
may be the freight bureau will yet be
called upon to look into the traffic of the
street car lines.

the direction OF the committee in charge
and the superintendent. Mr.. Joseph Rick
EFT, who is in charge.
Workmen were busy there yesterday
putting the club rooms in trim for the
grand opening reception which the menu
bers will tender their friends tomorrow
night. The carpets, furniture glass ware,
and all the appuTteuanCes necessary for
the club were brought here on special or
ders, and everything is the handsomest

the club, however were all patriotic
enough to have their furnishings ordered
through Savannah firms

the basement, and TO the left on entering.
is the reading room, which will be fitted
up in the handsomest style. The furni-
ture is of two kinds, oak and red mo-
rocco leather. Two large mirrors Will
stand above the mantels, easy chairs are
placed around the room, and it will make
as bright and cheerful a reading room as
any club could desire. Across the hall
from this room is a lounging room, fitted
up in oak, with easy chairs and every
convenience. Back of this will be the
buffet, also in oak, which will be put in
to-day by Mr. Moss, who was formerly
with McDonough & Co. The pantry, con
tanning all the cut glass each piece of
which is marked &C. c." is just in the
rear of the buffet.
Up stairs are the billiard room, card
room and the room which will be used by
the board Of governors for their meet
ings. The furniture in all of these is
in oak, and it is all of handsome design.
No arrangements have been made yet for
putting into use the top story Of the
building. The hall will also be elegantly
fitted up with oak and Morocco furniture.
and the carpets throughout the club
rooms are of the handsomest patterns
and finish. The cellar or basement CON
tains the culinary department, store
rooms, which are already stocked and
the furnace for heating the building. 1t
is contemplated that the next addition TO
the club shall be a bowling alley, which
will be placed alongside the basement on
the western side.
The opening will take place tomorrow
night, and the club rooms will be hand
somely decorated for the occasion. The
members will invite their friends. and the
evening will be made one that will be long
remembered. 1t will be a full-dress affair,
and short addresses will probably be made
by several of the members and their in
vited guests.

AWARDED HIM THE RING.
But Williams Did Not Give Bond and It
was Retained by the Court

There was trial before Justice NJ.
Naughtin yesterday to determine whether
diamond ring which Detective Morgan
thought was stolen, belonged to Alexander
Williams, from whom it was taken Oct
19 by the detective.
Detective Morgan saw Williams sport
ing the ring, and as it was a rather val
liable one. the circumstances looked sus-
picious and the detective took the prom
erty in charge. Williams sued out a pos
sessory warrant before Justice Naughtin
claiming that he had found the ring while
working at Lake Champlain, that he had
told no one about it, and had not heard a
ring inquired for. He appeared to tell a
pretty straight story, and Justice Naugh-
tin decided, in view Of the circumstances
of the case, to award the ring to him
provided he gave a bond of $500 to answer
any judgment, execution or decree touch
ing that specific property that might be
brought against him in the next four
years. Williams did not give the bond
yesterday, and the ring is stiu in the pos
session of Justice Naughtin.

WHERE GOOD BEER is MADE.
improvements Made at the Georgia
Brewing Associations Plant.

Improvements uAaNAS az bh0 OSOA "a
Brewing Associations Plant.
The Georgia Brewing Association is one
of Savannahs industries that has had a
rapid and prosperous growth. 1t has been
Incorporated now as a new company
only seven months, the plant being for
merly owned by the p. H. VOTERS Brew
ing Company, yet within that time it has
almost entirely re-equipped the plant ana
purchased a large additional property
which it has added.
This is the stiles property at
the corner of Bay and Abercorn streets
under which an extensive beer cellar has
been constructed, giving the plant now
a capacity of about $4,000 barrels Of beer
a year The company has not yet reached
its full capacity, but no doubt will have to
do so within short time. 1t is now max
ing from 1900 to $4,000 barrels a year.
The company makes only one brand, the
Tivoli beer and most of 1t is consumed
right here in Savannah. During certain
seasons of the year there are two brews
a day and the mash tub at each brewing
contains about seventy-fiVe barrels Of
beer This is carried Off into the watts for
the different processes Of fermentation
through which it goes, and within about
three months, or a little less, from the
time IL is turned into these watts IL comes
out as clear and bright a beer as could
be desired
The cellars contain about 1900 barrels
al time, and are all kept clean and neat,
as is everything about the brewery A
visit to the brewery and a trip through
the various cellars and passages through
which the liquid has to go before Il gets
its clear amber color and becomes beer.
Is decidedly interesting. The new com
pany is doing we'll About that there can
be no doubt when the United States regis

STREET CARS HELD UP.
Young Cowboys Who Thump Passen-
gers on the Crowded Cars.

The Penny car fares have brought the
small boy a good deal of fun and lot OF
wickedness, too. Besides doing a good
deal of riding on his own account he makes
riding miserable for good many grown
people. One Of the latest tricks which
smacks of righteousness as well as OF
mischievousness, is to lay in wait at night
by the side Of the track where there is the
least light and as the crowded cars pass,
wherever there are people hanging on the
steps, thump them with sticks and straps.
A night or two ago a gang Of boys held
up a Price street car and beat a passenger
who was hanging on the side step with a
strap so severely that deep gashes were
cut in his legs. The young cowboys then
fed and under cover OF the darkness es-
capped in the lanes.
