NEW ORLEANS AND ST. LOUIS.
The Interest Continues Notwith.
standing Bad Weather.


The interest in racing continues, and
notwithsta landing the bad weather the
favorites and the talent hold
their own. The horses at New Or
leans have ran truer to form than at any
previous winter meeting The st. Louis
meeting has also caused favorable com
ment and surprise, for, at the opening of
this track nothing but dogs" were en-
tered, whereas now several hundred good
race horses are quartered at the track
and the races are fully up to those for
merly held at Guttenburg and Clifton
To-day's programme at both tracks are
good ones and there will no doubt be a
large crowd at the turf exchange to take
flyer. First quotations at 80 CITY, at

HE MADE A MISTAKE.
What Some Savannahians Say Of Ex-
Mayor Hewitt's Speach.


The speech Of Hon. Abram s. Hewitt,
before the Southern Society at the annual
dinner of that society in New York last
week, has undoubtedly created much
widespread comment, and the ex-mayor's
remarks have had their full share Of
criticism among Savannahians.
Savannahians are usually very cOnserya-
tive, but they are not slow TO criticise
when they see what they think is an err
rOr. Various opinions were expressed
with regard TO the matter by number
of gentlemen, who were discussing MIR.
Hewitts remarks yesterday. The gen
eral trend of opinion was that the speech,
referring to one section. as il did, was
rather out Of place before such a society,
composed as it is of men of that section,
many of whom are representative men.
One of the gentlemen seemed to think
Mr. Hewitt was right. He said he
thought the representative men Of the
south we're not selected to represent
their sections in national halls,
as was the case in ante-bellum
days. He referred, of course, to such
men as Clay, Toombs, Calhoun, Cobb and
others. He thought it was the same
with other sections, but particularly so
of the south.
But that is not the case. !" insisted an
other, who was interested in the discus
sion. eve have men in congress to-day,
whom history will make just as great as
those who have preceded them. The
trouble is. great statesman is not fully
appreciated by his contemporaries. and
it is left for history to do
them full Justice" AS he was Georgian
born, he mentioned with pride the names
of Turner, Gordon, Crisp and others.
Il think MIR. Hewitt made great mis-
take" said another gentleman, Sin max
ing that kind, of speech before the South
ern society. If these were mis- impress
sions of southern men, they could have
been in no less degree applied to other
sections, and that was an occasion on
which, above all others, he should have
spoken generally, if he wished to pursue
such a line. He is mistaken in the state
ment that the greater number of the men
of brains in the south have gone north.
To a southern man that idea needs no
contradiction. The best evidences of it's
fallacy and the strongest contradictions
are seen around him in business and pub
lie life in the south. / have no idea that
Mr.. Hewitt meant to offend any section,
or any individual, for that matter, but l
think he committed an error of judg-
ment,N

THE WRECKED VESSEL.
THE ROAD TO TYBEE.
How 1t Will Practically be Owned by
Those Who Rebuild 1t.


Everybody is rejoicing now that the
question of the future of the Tybee rail
road has been practically settled All
wanted to see the road rebuilt but few
were in a position to contribute to fund
for the purchase of the receivers certiti-
Gates. This was the case not so much
from a lack of personal interest in the
property or willingness to aid, as from
the stringenoy of the times and the gen
eral feeling that the owners and operators
of the property should bear the loss.
1t has been conceded ali along that
those who rebuild the road, or furnish
the money to do it. would practically be-
come the owners of the property Since
IL will require the entire authorized issue
of certificates 10 pay for the road under
the new plan, this will undoubtedly be
the case, and more so if the Central rail
road is also given lien of equal rank on
the property amounting TO 5000, which
will be asked OF Justice jackson.
The certificates are to bear per cent.
interest. If the issue should amount to
$4,000, which is wanted by the receivers
of the Central, the annual interest charges
on that amount would reach $3.50. Re-
ceiver Conner estimates that under the
new provisions, by which the rights of
way are to be conceded Internationally,
ana no daily TRAINS are 10 be run In win
ter, the road will earn net from s., 900 10
$4,000. Calculated roughly on this basis,
If the road should earn *, 900 net above
amount required to pay the interest on
the certificates, that would be but 4-l0 of
l per cent. interest for the So, 900 of bonds
on the property or practically nothing
Perh bps the ,bondholders would con
slider it good plan, provided another
storm did not destroy the property, to
create a sinking fund out Of the surplus
earnings above what is necessary to pay
the interest on the certificates, and in this
way, within fifteen or sixteen wears. or
perhaps less time the certificates could
be paid of, and the bondholders would
again own the road.
Receiver Conner has gone TO Florida to
see Justice jackson, who is there recup-
Grating, about certain Central railroad
matters He will probably obtain the
courts consent TO accept the proposed
plan for rebuilding the road, so that the
work can begin,at once Mayor Melon
Ough and the syndicate Of bondholders
which he represents. which, IL is under
stood, will supply the funds to rebuild the
road, will, IL seems, practically own H.
The New York bOndholders. who own
almost 1000 Of the bonds, have taken
very little interest m the matter. and
Will, 10 is understood, contribute nothing
towards n. But the others are interested
in the property and will not fail 20 see 10
restored for use this summer with all
possible dispatch.

THE MUSIC HALL MOVEMENT.
The Enterprise to Be Put on Footing
at To-day's Meeting

The Enterprise to Be Put on Footing
at To-day's Meeting.
1t is expected that definite steps will
be taken at the meeting at the Ludden &
Bates Music House at O'Clock this after
noon, to incorporate the Music Festival
Association, and to establish the move
ment to build music hall The
executive committee desires the attend
ance of everyone interested in the
success of the annual festivals and in Sc
curing building which Savannah needs.
The movement, which was started i'm
medlately after the first festival a year
ago, met with enthusiastic endorsement.
A plan was submitted and committees
were appointed. An option on a desira-
Bile site for the building was Sc
cured, but before the plans had matured
the financial stringency came on
and it was decided TO let the enterprise
rest for year The great success Of the
festival just closed, the large chorus of
voices, the crowds at the concerts and
the rehearsals rendering it impossible to
accommodate those who desired to at
tend, show the necessity for a larger
building than Savannah now has, and one
especially adapted for festival purposes.
1t is believed that with slight effort
such building can be erected which will
not only serve the especial purpose for
which it is designed, but which will
bring to Savannah gatherings which can
not now be accommodated here.

RAIL AND CRossT1E.

The state Of Connecticut has deter
mined To do away with grade crossings of
highways and railroads. The matter has
been taken into the courts and the United
States supreme court has decided that the
state act, being directed to the extinction
OF grade crossings as a menace to public
safety, is therefore within the exercise of
the police powers of the state and is con-
stltutional, and that the legislature, hav-
ing determined that the intersection Of
two railways with highway in Hartford
at grade crossing was nuisance, danger
Gus to life, in the absence of action, on the
part, either OF the city or the railroads,
may compel them severally TO become the
owners OF the right to lay out new high
ways and new railways over such land
and in such manner as would separate the
grade of the railways from that of the
highway at intersection; may compel
them to use the right for the accomplish
ment of the desired end may determine
that the expense be paid by either cor
poratlon, alone or IN part by Goth, and
may enforce obedience to its Judgment,
ana That the legislature of Connecticut
not only had the power to do this, but
That 1t may do it through the instrument
tally of commission.
Florida is having little railroad trou-
bic on a small scale. According to the
1lmeS- Union, Archer Hartman, president
OF the j. M. & j. Ry. & N. Co., must
show cause to Judge Call, of the circuit
court, why he should not be punished for
contempt. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago J. ~ c. Stockton, treas
urer of the road, secured an order from
Judge Call requiring Mr.. Hartman to turn
over the receipts of the road
to Mr.. Stockton as such
treasurer. This Mr. Hartman failed
to do, and rule was issued for Mr.. Har-
man TO show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt. The compliance
on the part of Mr.. Hartman with the order
OF the court put stop to all further pro
ceedlngs and until now everything has
been running along smoothly For some
time past MIR Hartman has failed to turn
the earnings of the road in to Mr.. Stock
ton as treasurer, and now Mr.. Stockton,
through his attorney, has petitloned
Judge Call for another rule requiring Mr..
Hartman to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt in continuing to
comply with the order Of the court.

NO COMPLAINTS TO MAKE.
Manager Halligan Says Savannah

Was Beaten Fairly and Squarely.
Manager Thomas Halllgan, of Savan-

ministered to his team in Atlanta.
eve were fairly and squarely beaten, :"
he said, land have no complaints to
make. Atlanta has fine team, and won
the game by hard playing"
Mr.. Halligan spoke in the highest
terms of the treatment shown the Sa-
vannah boys in Atlanta.
The Atlanta boys did everything to
make 1t pleasant TO- IS" he said, and
showed US every courtesy. Our thanks
are especially due to Mr.. c. H. Haskell,
Atlanta's manager, for his many kind
attentions. Mr. Bowdre Phinizy of Au-
gusta, and Mr.. j. G. Hart idge of Savan-
nah, who umpired the game, gave full
satisfaction to both sides, and have our
hearty thanks"
IF we can get our full team when we
play the next game with Atlanta, we will
certainly wipe up the earth with them,n
said Mr.. SHalligan in conclusion.
1t is not likely that Savannah will
have any more foot ball until Thanks
giving, however, when Atlanta will be
invited to meet the Savannahians on their
own grounds.

FOLLOWING UP EVERY oLEw.
The Police Not Lacking in Their
Efforts to Find Smalls.

Abe Smalls, the murderer of Policeman
Neve, is still at large. 1t has been fifteen
days now since the murder
was committed and the interest
in Smalls' capture is gradually decreasing.
1t would require only the slightest alarm
to revive it Immediately, however
The police have not discontinued their
efforts to effect his capture, how
ever. Several detachments were
sent out at night during last
week to investigate reports that had
been received as to Smalls' whereabouts,
but no clew was obtained
A telegram was received a day
or two ago that he had been
captured in Florida and was held
for. Identification, but nothing further
could be learned about it, 1t is the opin-
ion of the police that If Smalls is not
somewhere around the city yet
his whereabouts is known to
his friends, and it is on this
theory that a sharp lookout is kept on has
old haunts. While there is, OF course, not
so much public interest in the case as
there was immediately After the murder,
the officers are diligently following every
clew that gives any promise of success.

THE HOVER WILL.
Assignment of the Case for Trial This
Morning

The suit to establish the caveat to the
probation in solemn form of thewill of L.
L. Hover, who left two-thirds OF his prop
erty to Mr.. John Sullivan Schley, is as
signed for trial in the superior court this
morning. Both sides seem to consider
that the matter involves some important
questions of law as well as of fact, and
they wanted it tried before jurors of ex-
traordinary intelligence. They agreed
therefore, to have it heard before panel
from the grand jury, which will be Sc
lected this morning. The case will, no
doubt, be an interesting one from many
points OF view.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoRs MEET
An Interesting Meeting at Trinity
Methodist Church.

The local union of the Society of Chris
tian Endeavor held its annual meeting at
Trinity church last night. Owing to the
inclement weather the attendance was
small. President Barnum presided. The

at the beginning of the year, there was
no business of this kind to be transacted
at the meeting last night.
The meeting was devoted to a discus
