DISGRACEFUL SCENES

In Georgia, Brought About BY the Aus
tralian Ballot System
Savannah, Dec. 1G--TwO factionai Demo
cratic candidates are in the field for the may
orallty, the election taking place in January.
Under the first use of the Australian ballot
system here no one can vote who has not
paid all taxes. including those of this year,
and registered
The provision led to II wild scramble ut
first and to battle daily between the large
forces for choice positions i'm line at the
tax collectors office. He could issue only
about 200 receipts II day, and as the regis
tratiOn closed Saturday, 1t was inevitable
that many citizens would be shut out. The
two factions hired two gangs of toughs,
each numbering about 100, and including the
city. These men were paid from 50 to SlO
IL day. To each was given 4 list OF SIX
names, the largest number the collcct0rr
would accept taxes from one person, and
the money to pay their taxes with. Each
morning for 10 days past the two lines OF
political mercenaries have struggled with
each other in front of and inside the court
house, hundreds of citizens gathering from
all parts of the city daily to witness the big
mills. For two weeks at least no citizen
paid taxes for himself, all intrusting theiI
names and money to the hlred ones: AZ
times nearly the entire police lorce OF tne
city had to be calledOut to establish Oruer,
and for over week the presence of about ~
policemen has been required at the tax col
iectOrs office.
The armies of heclers were fed mt the riva!
headquarters where many of them remained
all night, going out early each morning tc
resume battle, and at the court house peer
whisky. coffee and sandwiches were given
them. Two or three times a day number
of the workers skipped with their lists anc

calculated that the cost OF Keeping up tn'
two armies which in the last few days has
been increased to about 400 to fight for pol
tax receipts, was over $4,000. They were
disbanded early this morning The neXl

A STRANGE CRAFT.
Remarkable Story Told by the Captain
of the Helen w. Amy.

Remarkable Story Told by the Captain
of the Helen w. Amy.
The bark Helen w. Amy, which or.
rived at San Francisco Friday from
Tanning Island, brought a strange sto-
ry. When off the island February 2f
she sighted a small schooner which.
after a great deal of effort, ran under
her lee, and showed flag of most pc
culiar design, the like of which was
never seen before. 1t was in two
pieces, and the lower half was stripes
from the American flag, while the up-
per half was like black pennant. The
vessel had been white once but her
sides We're covered with grass. The
mainsail appeared to be new, and as
for the foresail, there was only half of
one, and that was all patches and holes.
The name of the little craft could not
be made out as she kept a respectful
distance from the bark. Captain Lut-
trell thought he recognized in her the
25-ton schooner Ebon, whose skipper
Captain Cameron, disappeared from the
Gilberts early in 1893, leaving some
heavy creditors. Cameron and his
schooner were afterwards heard OF in
the Marshall islands.
