THE TIME BALL FINISHED.
1t Will Not Be Erected Until Hydro
Rrapher Is Appointed.

throughout the country, and a most
Savannah will have to go without a
time ball while longer, in spite of the
fact that the apparatus is very nearly fin
ished and ready to be put up. Collector
of Customs BeckWith has been advised
that ii will not be erected until an officer
has been detailed to the photographic Of
flee to succeed Ensign Scales, recently de-
tached from duty in the photographic SER
vice and ordered to the gunbOat Machias
on the Asiatlc station.
Collector Beckwith has taken an active
interest in securing the replacement of
the time ball, which was formerly in
operation here, but which has been in
disuse for several years. The co-opera-
ton of Commander Sigsbee, chief of the
photographic bureau, was enlisted and
some months ago it was decided to re-es-
tablish the ball. An order was given for
the apparatus necessary for its operation,
and it was about completed and ready to
be shipped when Ensign Scales was or
dered to sea duty
The photographic bureau is in charge
of the navy department, The fitting out
of new vessels has required the services
of many officers who have been engaged
in photographic work and it was thought
doubtful when Ensign Scales was de-
tached from duty here that another Off
Ger would be assigned to the work very
soon. The importance of the office and
its value to the maritime interests is so
great, however, that an effort will be
made to secure a photographer as soon
as possible, and the early erection of
the time ball. Shipping men and mer-
chants on the bay are interested in having
it.
Collector Beckwith was asked about the
matter yesterday. He replied that he will
urge the Importance of detailing a sue
cessor to Ensign Scales at once and that
the ball be erected. From now until the
close of the cotton season in the spring is
when il will be of the most value to ship
ping interests, and its establishment will
be appreciated.

A new CLUB IN The FOURTH.
A Combination Of NCBTide'S 400" and
the Old Independent Club.

It Will Go in for Pure and Unadulter-
ated Politics, and VIII Take Hand
in All Matters in Which the District
Is Interested The Men Who are at
the Head Of 1t - It's Position in the
Mayoralty Fight Not Yet Announced.
The Fourth District Independent Club
was organized last night 1t is composed
of voters of the Fourth district who be-
lieve that their district is entitled to rec
ognition in political affairs, and who in
tend to demand it. The following officers
were elected:
President-James Mcbride.
Vice President-Frank D. Gaffney.
Secretary-M B. Ketchum.
Treasurer-Frank Hirtz.
Sergeant-at arms-F'lorence Sullivan.
The meeting was held at the hall over
James Lanes barrOom. Several promi-
nent members of the Citizens Club in the
Fourth district were present, including
James Mcbride, James Lane, John Carr
and others. After the election of officers
a committee was appointed to draft
constitution and bylaws and report at
the next meeting.
President Mcbride said after the meet
bination of the McBride's 400"
and the old Fourth District In
dependent Club. you can say" said ne,
who nominated Cleveland at the theater
meeting in 1892 We are for pure and I'M
adulterated politics, and we want clear
honest, able business men for office. We
propose to take an active part in munich,
pal politics, for the purpose of putting
good men in office, and seeing that the
Fourth district gets the representation it
is entitled to. There are !, 400 white voters
in this district, and here is where the
fight is going to be fought out. We are
the people who do the work, and we don't
propose 10 be dictated to by a lot of fellows
who keep their hands in their pockets and
think they own the earth"
MIR Mcbride was asked if the new club
was a Schwarz club. He replied that
that point had not been considered yet
AS the club numbers in it's ranks some of
Maj Schwarz's strongest supporters it
was supposed it will act in his interest
1t was reported that the club would lie
antagonistic to the Citizens Club, but
President Mcbride said this is not the
case. The members of the new club will
retain their membership in the Citizens
club, he said. 1t is intended for district
purposes, similar to the club which has
been in existence in the FIRST district for
some time.
eve were among the first organizers
of the Citizens Club" said Mcbride land
it is not likely that we would surrender
our rights now simply because we failed
to carry one point. The report that l
started to bolt the meeting last Monday
doing such a thing. There were only two
OF three men who got up to go and I
called to them to sit down, which they did
All we ask is a square deal"

A SETTLEMENT REACHED.
A Consent Decree to BE Taken in the
Lloyd & Adams Case.

The Brunswick and Savannah lawyers
were together yesterday in a sort
of all day session, discussing the pros and
cons of the Lloyd & Adams receivership
case, the fund of which is now in the
registry of Efingham county superior
court.
The lawyers interested in the case are
Judge CORTLAND Symmes of Brunswick
representing DR.. H. Burford, Mr.. w E.
Kay and Judge Spencer r. Atkinson, rep
resenting certain creditors, O'Connor &
O'Byrne and D. Griffin, who brought the
original bill, A. c. Wright, representing
Receiver Adams, Charlton, Mackan &
Anderson, Barrow & Osborne and George
w. Owens, representing various credi-
tors.
The matter was referred by Judge Fall
lgant TO r. r. Richards, Esq, as master
in chancery, and there were just AZ pro-
positions brought up by the various in
terests for him to decide and report on.
The effort of the attorneys, however
was to bring the matter TO a settlement
without going before the master, and this
they succeeded in doing yesterday after
noon at a meeting held at the office Of
Messrs. Barrow & Osborne.
The actual amount involved is about
5000 while the liabilities represented by
the attorneys is nearly $4,000. THE main
difficulty in reaching a settlement was in
the matter of costs, which some of the
interests wanted to put on the unsecured
creditors. The representatives of the IN
secured creditors would not consent to
this, and after a considerable discussion
an amicable agreement and a satisfac-
tory distribution of the costs was arrived
at. The settlement will be drawn up in
the form OF a consent decree. which will
be taken at the next term of the court.

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY.
A Grocer's Porter and Driver Come
Near Being Killed.

A lively runaway accident and one
which came near being fatal took place
on Henry street yesterday afternoon. A
horse attached to a delivery wagon of the
Mutual Cooperative Association ran
away, throwing out the porter and
young colored man with him, wrecl1ing
the wagon and scattering baskets of gro
ceries along the street.
The horse started to run on Bull street
near Henry. Turning into Henry street
he ran toward Drayton. The porter and
driver Abram was first thrown out. He
escaped with few slight bruises. Alfred
Bennett, whom the the manager of the as
ISOLATION had sent along with the porter
to look after the horse while the porter
was delivering goods, was not so for
tunate. The wagon struck the curbing
near No. engine house. throwing Ben
nett out on the grass plat. As he fell from
the seat he was kicked in the abdomen by
the horse. His arm was sprained in the
fall, and his right leg was bruised by a
kick by the runaway.
The horse took TO the grass plat a short
distance beyond Drayton street and col
lided with a telephone pole near the mid
die of the block. The wheels caught on
the inside pole, bringing the horse to a
standstill The animal was running at
fun speed, and in the collision the whiffle-
tree snapped and the traces were torn
in two, leaving only the collar and bride
on the horse. Tearing loose from the
wreck he ran down Abercorn street some
distance, until he was captured. The
groceries were piled up in heap Eggs,
butter, crackers coffee, sweet potatoes
and molases and pickles were mixed up
on the ground or scattered along the
street for half a block.
A crowd quickly gathered. The porter
gathered himself up and ran for a physi-
clan for his companion, and a telephone
message was sent from the engine house
for the police ambulance, which arrived
in few minutes and took Bennett to his
home, No. 252 Gwinnett street. His in
juries upon examination were found not
to be so serious as it was first supposed
they were.
The horse was not the property of the
cooperative association, but was hor-
rowed from a livery stable. For that
reason boy was sent along with the
porter to look after the horse while the
porter was away from the wagon The
driver said the animal began kicking
and then started to run without any an
parent cause, except that he took 1t into
his head to run away.

EURoPE's SEWERAGE SYSTEMS.
The State Department. Reports for the
Benefit Of Savannah.


Collector of Customs Beckwith received
a letter from the department of state yes
terday advising him that number of the
reports on sewerage in European cities OBJ
tanned through the various consular Of
fees at the collectors request, for the in
formation of the sanitary board and the
city council of Savannah, have been re
ceived and proofs viii be forwarded a as
early a date as possible in advance of
publication in the consular reports. Upon
their receipt they viii be laid before the
sanitary board by the collector, with a
view 10 aiding it in the formation of a
plan for a sewerage system for Savan-
nah
The request for the information was
made by the collector, who is also
member of the sanitary board, early in
July. Secretary Gresham Immediately re-
piled that the information desired which
comprised a thorough inquiry into the
various systems Of sewerage adopted in
the principal cities of continental Europe,
would be requested through the United
states consuls, and upon its receipt IL
would be embodied in the consular reports
and disseminated in that way.
The Secretary recognized the importance
of Collector Beckwiths suggestion, and
that the information would be of such gen
eral value as TO warrant its embodiment
IN the department reports. The letter re-
ceiVed yesterday from Mr.. e. 1. Renick
chief clerk of the state department, says:
with reference to the series of reports
on drainage in European cities, which
the department undertook to obtain in
compliance with your request of July 6,
have to inform you that a number of
these reports have been received, but that
the series is still far from being complete.
II will probably be a month or more before
the department can furnish you with
proofs Of the various reports"
Mr.. Renick is q Georgian, an intimate
friend of Collector Beckwith, and has ia
ken deep interest in the securing of the
reports which will it is believed, prove of
great value not only to Savannah, but to
other cities throughout the country.
Collector Beckwith will urge in a letter
to the department that the reports be put
in shape at the earliest practicable date
so that proofs of as many Of them as Dos
sible may be had by Nov. l, which will be
in sufficient time to permit of their dis
cussion by the sanitary board and the
council in the formation of a plan for
the sewerage Of Savannah, and the fixing
of the appropriation necessary for begin
ming the work at least, in accordance with
the decision of the council early in the
year.
The cost of n proper sewerage system
for the city will be very great, it is esti-
mated in the neighborhood of 81 900 900,
and all information which 1t is possible
to obtain relative to sewerage will be
placed at the disposal of the city au-
thorities.
The thorough and complete reports upon
the systems of sewerage in the principal
cities of Europe, particularly of CONT
mental Europe, which the state depart
ment will furnish, will, it is expected, be
of the greatest value in the adoption of a
system for Savannah.

savannahians to Have a Peep at the
Golden Gate.
Mr.. T. s. Patty, district passenger and
land agent of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, and Mr.. W. a. Virgins, southern
passenger agent Of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton railroad, with head
quarters in Chattanooga, spent yesterday
in the city. These gentlemen are two of
the greatest railroad hustlers in the rail-
road passenger business, and the object
of their visit to Savannah is something
more than merely to shake hands with the
local ticket agents and point out the adj
vantages Of their routes over all compel
ing lines.
In these days of rival railroad lines
to all prominent points, the live passenger
agent has got to look long ways ahead
for business, and that is just what Messrs.
Patty and Virgins are doing. The next
annual convention of the Christian En-
deavor Union of the United States and
Canada will be held in San Francisco.
without going into details it is only nee
essary to say that they propose to run
a special train out of Savannah for San
Francisco, going by one route and re-
turning by another, with stops at points
of interest en- route Not only will there
be large number of Christian endeavor
delegates from Georgia and adjoining
states who will want to attend the con-
vention in San Francisco but naturally
there will be great many other people
from this section not connected with the
union who will want to take advantage
OF the opportunity to make such trip
at a reasonable rate
Messrs. Virgins and Patty are salts
fed that they will have no difficulty in
filling up their train with Georgia, Florida
and South Carolina people. The route,
which has been roughly sketched out is
as follows: Savannah, Atlanta, st. Louis,
Kansas City Denver, Cheyenne, Ogden
Great Salt Lake Sacramento, San Fran
cisco; returning, Portland, Ore, Tacoma,
wash, Spokane, Seattle, Yellowstone Ma
tlonal Park, Bismarck, n. D., Minneapo-
lis, St Paul, Chicago, Cincinnati, Chatta-
nooga, Atlanta, Savannah.
II viii be a Pullman train of course
with dining cars attached. The Christian
endeavor people to whom the plan has
been preached, are delighted with the
idea, and are willing to do everything
in their power to make it a success. The
rates have not yet been decided upon
and will vary according to he amount of
territory the eXcursionists desire to take
IN, The trip to the Yellowstone National
Park will be detached feature of the ex-
cursion. 1t requires several DAYS to see
the sights of the greatest natural park on
earth, and those who do not wish to in
cur this expense need not do so.

WANTED TO MARRY BAD.
An Ole Negro Offers a Gun and a Dozen
Rice Birds in Exchange for Licens =.

~hASN Dir u IN EXCHANGE q 1lCeuB
An old negro walked into the Office of
the ordinary yesterday and announced
that he had come to get a marriage IL
cense. Judge Ferrm directed him to the
clerks aoss, SEt 81 81 :hare was
some trouble about the financial part
Of the transaction, and the clerk sent
him back 10 the judge
The old darkey was fully seven feet
tail, and according to his o@n statement
was ~ years old. He carried an old mus
ket almost as long as he was tall, was
barefooted and had his breeChes rolled up
to his knees
81 got no money, boss" he said to Judge
FerriH, as he returned. but de rice bud
season done over now. an ef you'H gi
me de license I'll le my gun here wild you
til mex season."
1t was apparent that the old fellow
wanted TO get married bad, but the ordi-
nary had not gone into the junk business,
and the gun proposition did not take so
readily as the old man thought it would.
He said his name was BristOe Evans,
and he lived on Mars Elliotts place
across the river. When asked what the
woman's name was he said:
Shes a ma'ed woman. an her names
Car'line."
But what is her other name?" asked
the ordinary. We can't give you a
license unlsss you give us the full name"
Il done clean fergot,' Brstoe replied,
but when he found he would have to
give her name he said: TN walk aroun
de block, judge, an maybe I kno' it by
dat time"
With that he started out with his gun,
hut was back again in about five min
utes. 1t was Caroline Black. He knew
he could remember it if he would just
think
The license was made out and handed
him.
How much l owe you boss" he asked.
Judge Ferrill told him he would make
him present of it, and that he could
take his gun home with him, as the or
binary had no use for it. The old negro
was profuse in his thanks and scarcely
knew what to say. He bowed as he
started for the door and turning to Judge
Ferrill said:
Please God, boss, l bring you de fust
dozen rice buds I kill mex season"
Caroline, as Bristoe put it, is mo an
gep' herself, as she is rs years old.

practice game every two or three DAYS
until proficient enough to meet the op-
ponents they hope to secure to come here

State University IS opposed to the Athens
men leaving college for the purpose, ii is
believed the game can be arranged. one
of the trustees has said he thought n
could be done, and it is believed the trus-
tees would look upon 1t favorably. There
rs also some talk of a game with the
archaeological school team of Atlanta
and with the team OF the Augusta Ath-
letic Association. The patronage given
the sport last year by the Savannah people
has encouraged the boys and they are
going 10 work for some good games this
