Mr.. Clifton Tells Abou Matters at the
Nations Capital.

Hon. William Clifton returned last
night from Washington where he has
been for the last week looking after the
interests of Mr.. Brock Beckwith in his
application for the customs collectorship.
Mr.. Clifton said last night that he has
no doubt now that MIR. Beckwith will re-
ceive the appointment, as Secretary Car
Isle and others in authority have as good
as said that he will be the man He says
that Col Norwood las practically given
up, and that Capt. Wheaton will hardly
get the appointment on account of Mr..
Cleyeland's ruling with regard to second
appointments,
There is large number of Georgians in
Washington, Mr.. Clifton says He men
toned especially, Hon. j. M. Terrell, Col.
Clifford Anderson and Mr.. G. G. Wimbish,
of Columbus, who are there to appear be-
fore the supreme court to-day or to-mor-
row, TO represent the state in the question
before that court as to the legality of the
act requiring railroads TO pay taxes in the
counties through which they run. The
appeal was made in cases of certain rail-

taxation by their charters for certain
periods.
Mr.. Clifton says he saw good deal of

at the Theater Tonight.

"My Aunt Bridget" will be the attrac-
tion at the theater tonight. A well-known
southern critic says Of the piece: "She is
modest old lady, is My Aunt Bridget
According to her banners hung on the
bill boards, she only claimed that Bar
NUNS circus amt in it'' with her.
Modesty-nothing less; for when it
comes to fun, this queer old lady and her
coterie of assistant mirth provokers can
give cards and spades to not only Bar
NUNS but the whole tribe of circuses.
She is sui generis, is Bridget; she is from
the ''ould sodn and is proud of it; there's
melody in her voice and Joy in
her presence-in the language of the
small boy, she's a corker. "My Aunt
Bridget" is the broadcast kind of a farce
comedy built around the very rtly
frame of the Titan headed female
from which it takes its name. The differ
emit roles are in good hands, and the spe-
clalties, upon which so much in show of
this kind depends, are excellent. Years
ago George Munroe did a servant girls
part in that funny slit of George Knights,
"Over the Garden Wall" 1t is one of
the hits of the play and realizing its pos
sibilities, Scott Marble elevated the SER
want girl to the dignity of my Aunt
Bridget" Munroe is as much of an artist
In his way as Neil Burgess, and this red
headed, loud-mouthed female which he
creates is really very funny parsonage.
She pervades everything and wherever
she is, there is fun"

Present Year.

Directors Chosen Yesterday For the
Present Year.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Southern Bank was held yester-
day at the bank and all of the old direc-
tors were unanimously reelected.
The vote cast, while quite a large one
and much more than a majority, was not
quite as large as usual. There were 1859
shares out of 5000 voted. No changes
were made insthe directory, and the board
elected is as follows:
Eugene Kelly, of New York and John
Flannery, S. B. Palmer, Lee Roy Myers,
E. A. We'll, Horace A. Crane, j. B. Duck
worth, H. p, Smart and j. j. Wilder, of
Savannah. The directors win hold a
meeting at the bank this afternoon and
will elect the old officers, President
John Flannery, Vice President H. A.
Crane and Cashier James Sullivan.

NEITHER ONE INDICTED.
Both Mr.. Tullis and Mr.. Heron Dis
charged by the Grand Jury.

The Tullis-Herron difficulty, which
took place Christmas night at Gwinnett
and Bolton streets. came up before the
grand jury yesterday afternoon for inves-
! tigation, and resulted in the discharge Of
| both parties.
Heron claimed that Tullis shot him
and his son in a difficulty which took
/ place there, and Heron then cut him in
the thigh, breaking OF his knife blade,
Both were turned over to the superior
court on warrants charging them with
assault with intent to murder. But no
bills were found against either one, and
| both were discharged. 1t seems there
has been some mistake as TO who did the
shooting. A letter was produced signed
by Isaac Champenois, who is now in Char
lOtte, Miss. Champenois was formerly
a motOrman on the Electric line, and he
states in this letter that he did the shoot
ing, and that he shot Heron in self-de-
Tense, after Heron had cut at him two or
three times. This letter IS said to have
been written before Champenois left Sa-
vannah for Mississippi, and he states in
subsequent letter that he did not leave 10
escape the law and that he is ready to re-
turn to Savannah whenever wanted. 1t
is not known what action the grand jury
will take about the matter
True DlllS were IOunu against Une iOI-
lowing parties:
James Green, burglary. Green broke
into Nathan MaX's place Christmas night
and stole two guns.

THE vEsT1BULE's FIRST TRIP.
Fifty Through Passengers and Six
More Added Here.

More ADDED Here,
There was busy scene yesterday morn
ing at the Savannah, Florida and Western
depot The first vestibuled train Of the
season over the Atlantic Coast Line,
bound south, and the fast mail bound
north, rolled into the depot within a few
minutes of each other.
The Florida special, as the vestibuled
train is known, carried on its first trip
about fifty passengers bound south, and
six more got on at Savannah.
The train was made up of three Sleep
ers, dining car, observation car and bag
gage car, The new engine described in
the MORNING NEWS a few days ago did
not pull the train out, having been sent on
trial trip with some fifty freight cars
attached. II will be put into service upon
its return to-day.
The interior of the vestibule is beauti-
full, rare and costly, provided with every
conceivable comfort.
The sleeper Charmion took the first
prize at the Paris exposition and is a
marvel of beauty. AS one opens the
door and enters the car he is at once i'm
pressed with the wonderful interior Of
luxury which seems for the moment al
most unreal.
The dining car Bellevue is fitted up in
most pleasing manner and evidences of
perfect taste and forethought are seen at
every turn. The vestibule is no longer
called the millionaires' train. The extra
fare has been abolished and from present
indications applications must be made
far In advance TO secure berth.

Store of w L Miller

Eggs and Butter Stolen From the
Store of w. I. Miller.
A burglar entered the store of Mr.. w.
|. Miller, on Bay street, at the foot OF
Jefferson, some time night before last,
and endeavored to break open his safe.
Some of the burglars tools were found
yesterday morning just inside the door,
and it was evident from the way things
looked that the marauder was after
money. The combination was battered
of, but it was no go, and the thief gave
it up.
Finding that no inroad could be made
on the safe or its contents, the attention
Of the thief or thieves was directed to
other articles in the store. Several boxes
that had contained stationery were emp
tied and filled with eggs and butter, and
OF these the thieves took away all they
could carry. Two or three cases of eggs
were smashed up, besides those stolen,
and about three cases of butter were
missing. The matter has been placed in
the hands Of the authorities and search
Will be made for the criminals.
