Council Meeting.

The council had special meeting
Saturday afternoon for the purpose
of inspecting the Sixth ward side
walk grades and the proposed Sixth
ward sewer system. This meeting
was the result of discovery that the
enforcement of the grade established
some years ago was meeting with
considerable opposition. The coun-
ell, after investigating the matter,
empowered the mayor to appoint a

wise the grades.

A NEW FACTOR IN The FIGHT
A Club Organized in the Interest Of
Mr.. N. v. Dixon.

a Committee Said to Have Been APP
pointed to Canvass for Members.
They Want Him Made Mayor, and
Say He Will Make a Strong Fight.
viii Add New Interest to the Fight.
A new club known as the Merritt w
Dixon club, it is said, held its second
meeting last night y Morning News re-
porter was informed py 4 member of the
club, who was present at the meeting,
that it was largely attended, and was
very enthusiastic. He would not say
where the meeting was held. The club was
working very quietly at present, he said,
but would come out publicly very soon. A
committee of twenty-five was appointed
to canvass for members of the club. He
was not at liberty TO give the names, he
said, but the next meeting would proba-
bly, authorize Their being made public.
'Mr Merritt w. Dixon" he said. did
NOR, fof S5yannaA boys whom he was on
the tourd >: aldermen than nay other
man on it, and we gre for him for that
reason. The club is at present composed
entirely of Savannah boys to the manner
born, and we want Savannah boy for
mayor. We believe Merritt W. Dixon is
the man"
rs the idea to have Mr.. Dixon receive
the nomination of the Citizens club?" he
was asked.
1--WE don't care whether he receives the
nomination of any club was the reply.
This is movement OF Independent voters
outside of the clubs. A big proportion of
the Citizens club will support him, and he
can count upon at least one hundred votes
| from Tammany."
DO you think you can beat Mr.. My
| ers?"
He can beat any man that is put UP
( on either side. He is a winning man. The
/ informant admitted that Mr.. Dixon had
not been consulted upon the subject al
| all, and said that it was not the inten-
! ton of the club to do so until it's strength
/ had grown sufficiently TO enable it to
| speak with some assurance. The club
now numbers about 250 members, he said
/ The injection of Mr.. DiXon's name into
/ the mayoralty campaign adds new inter
/ est to the fight.

ALL QUIET ON THE RIVER.
The Trouble in New Orleans Caused
Mayor Mills to Igsue His Order.

The police reserve is stiH being held
at the barracks. Acting Mayor Mills
said yesterday that he would hold the
reserve at the barracks just as long as
there is any possibility of trouble occur
ring.
I'VE are expecting no trouble" said Mr..
Mills. There is'no indication Of any
trouble, and there was none in fact when
the order was issued. The order was
simply issued as a precautionary meas
ure in case the violent actions of the
longshoremen at New Orleans should have
the effect of melting some Of their sympa-
thizers here to create trouble. The sit
uation in the two cities is very similar,
and there is a close bond Of sympathy
between the longshoremen of New Or
leans and Savannah. The crews of the
vessels are now sleeping ashore After
tomorrow the limit of. the ordinance re-
quiring crews to sleep ashore during the
fall months will have expired, and the
crews will be allowed to sleep aboard
the vessels. There is not much danger
of violence being attempted against the
vessels in daytime while the gangs are
at work, and with the crews aboard at
night there win be little probability of
any attempt at violence then, and there
will be less necessity for extra police
protection. We do not intend that the
condition of affairs which exists at New
Orleans shall be repeated here"
From the New Orleans papers which
arrived yesterday it is learned that the
condition of affairs there is much more
serious than the rest of the country has
been advised OF. Full reports of the
state of affairs were not sent out by
telegraph. influence having doubtless
been exerted to prevent this. The city
was practically in the hands of the mob
all of Saturday The white longshore-
men went about armed with rifles aud re-
volvers. Armed gangs invaded the ships
where the negroes We're at work, driving
them from work and throwing the tools
overheard. Several negroes were killed
and number wounded. The police ig-
nored the riot and allowed the rioters
to do about as they pleased. Telegraphic
advices of this state of affairs were re-
ceived in Savannah Saturday, and it
was this that induced the ship brokers
here to request Of Mr.. Mills that the po-
lice be held in readiness in anticipation
of any outbreak here.

sET-To ABOUT A LOT.
Lawyer and Letter Carrier Fight Over
It's Possession.

c. D. Palmer and John O'Donovan were
arrested yesterday afternoon by Police
man Lee on the charge of fighting in a
yard on Eleventh street. Mr.. Palmer
does a collection business and Mr.. O'Don-
ovan is a mail carrier on the southern
route.
Mr.. Palmer said the difficulty occurred
over the title to house and lot which he
purchased over two years ago. The lot is
on Eleventh street, near Burroughs, and
the purchase price was 81 400. He gave a
mortgage and received a bill of sale to the
lot. Mr.. O'Donovan, Mr.. Palmer says,
never informed him that he had a title
for the lot. He made nine monthly pay
ments at the rate of SIG a month and then
refused to pay any further unless O'Don-
ovan made it clear that he had the right
to convey the property.
Yesterday Mr. O'Donovan went to the
place and demanded possession, which
Mr.. Palmer refused to give as O'Donovan
exhibited no legal process. O'Donovan
attempted to make forcible entry which
Palmer resisted and the result was a pret-
ty lively fight Policeman Lee arrived
while the difficulty was in progress, and
taking both the combatants in tow. car
ried them to the police barracks where.
charges of disorderly conduct and fight
ing We're entered against them. They will
have an opportunity of explaining their
differences of opinion before the recorder
this morning.

FULL OF SURPRISES.
The Greatest One Yet Sprung on the
Savannah Public.

Savannah Public.
Truly the day of sensational advertis-
ing is at hand in this city. Its sensation
that brings popularity. Those who create
sensations, that attract the public, are
benefited by repeating popularity.
Appel & Schaul sprung a sensation on
the public last Saturday in the way of an
electric display, which attracted hun
dreds to their store, but a greater sur
prise greeted the pedestrians on Brough-
ton street last night. In this firms east
ern window was represented a gentle
mans dressing room, elegantly fitted up,
and in it was a fashionable gentleman.
personated by young lady, who, at the
rising of the curtain was discovered
dressed in the height of fashion, wear
ing the most popular styles Of collar, shirt
and necktie, and lovely pair of silk sus-
penders, supporting a perfect fitting pair
of trousers. She then donned a handsome
smoking jacket and reclined gracefully
upon the sofa in the apparment AS soon
as this opening scene was over, she rose
and removing the smoking jacket, began
to try on a varied outfit of fashionable
garments, all of which represented the
styles kept by Appel & Schaul
The sensation was a hit. Nothing Sc
progressive in the way Of snow window
advertising has been attempted in this
city before. Great crowds blocked up the
side walk, and street in front of the win.
dow, and the novelty pleased everyone.
This unique exhibition will be given
every afternoon during this week, com.
mencing at 4 o'clock and continuing un.
til O'Clock. The public are not only
cordially invited to come and see mems
fine garments displayed on the female
form divine" but to walk inside and try
them on themselves.-ad
