who said anything about the inten-
tons Of our repr esentativcse All idle
newspaper talk. my dear fellow. II Is
the duty OF the present council 10 elect
the city officers for the next twO years,
nd we are going TO DO it, That's all"
It is suspected that a recent newspaper
article in which 80 was shown that the
present method Of electing officers by the
outgoing council was accidental and not
intentional, and had not been provided
for by act Of the legislature during the
reconstruction period, furnished the cue
which brought about the Introduction Of
the ordinance BY Alderman Charlton.
though he would not admit such was
fact. Alderman Charlton's associates on
the board have implicit confidence in his
legal ability, and they are satisfied that he
made A thorough investigation Of the law
bearing on the subject before preparing
the ordinance.
The meeting of council last night being
an adjournment Of the previous regular
meeting. the introduction Of ordinances
was perfectly regular. and unless some
steps are taken TO prevent, the ordinance
can be acted on at the next meeting.
which is next " Wednesday night. As AL
dermen Screven and Myers are the only
two INSTRUMENTATION members Of the
present board. there is no doubt OF the
passage Of the ordinances when they are
brought to q vote.
In case Of the passage of the ordinances
next Wednesday night the council viii
proceed at once to the election Of officers
The meaning Of this is apparent TO all who
are at all posted upon local politics. The
Citizens Club has calculated upon elect
ing the next board Of city officials from
its own ranks, basing its calcula-
tons upon the belief that the
next council would be elected by
the Citizens Club, and the passage Of
bill by the recently elected members Of the
legislature to change the time Of the cleo
ton of officers so as to have them elected
by the incoming, instead of the Outgoing
council. A victory that did not secure the
city offices would be but a barren victory
indeed. There are about thirty city Offices
20 be filed, with salaries ranging from
81. 800 down. and as there are reported to
he at least six candidates for each Office
among the members of the Citizens Club
the disheartening effect Of Mr. Charlton
little ordinance can well be imagined. The
JOY in Tammany Is in inverse ratio 10 the
dism.ay in the ranks Of the Citizens Club.
Even should an Injunction be served
upon council to prevent the election of
officers Wednesday night, it would stil
have time, should the injunction be de-
cided at an early date, in which to carry
out its plans. The legislature meets next
Wednesday, but it requires some time to
pass local bill, and there are the election
Of a senator and other important matters
to be attended to before local matters can
be taken up, and it will probably be sew
eral weeks before any Of the local bills
can become laws. Until there is an act
OF the legislature regulating the election
Of city officers council is al liberty to act.
II looks very much as If the present coun-
Gil win elect the officers for 1S95-'96.

THINKS WILLIAMS THE NAN.
Detective Wetherhorn Believes He Has
the Burglar Of W. A. Jaudon's Store.

Detective Wetherhorn Believes he Has
the Burglar of W. A. Jaudon's Store.
Detective Wetherhorn thinks he has in
the negro Edward Williams, whom he ar
rested on charge of burglarizing the
tailor shop of NJ Flaum, the man who
has been trying the same game at the
store Of Mr.. w. a. Jaudon on St Julian
street
The burglaries were committed in sub
stantially the same manner. In each
case the glass has been first broken with
rock, and then the pieces pulled out
/ The burslaries occurred within a short
time Of each other, and hat belonging
TO Williams has been found which is to
all appearances the same as that worn by
the man who was seen sneaking away
from Jaudon's store in the moonlight a
few nights ago An investigation will
likely be made TO see If Williams has hid
den away anywhere any Of the goods
taken from Mr.. Jaudon's store.
A part of the story Of Williams arrest
which turned the laugh on Detective
Wetherhorn has not been told. When
the detective told the negro what he
wanted him for, the thief took him out
to place where his wife was working
in service on the Thunderbolt road to
get the key TO the house, ostensibly to
go there and let the detective search for
the stolen goods. After leaving his wife
he told the detective that his house was
out near Sandfy station, and that part
of the goods could be found there. The
detective took the exact location as the
negro gave it, and then decided to send
the latter back to town and go and make
the search alone. He went out to Sand
fly station, but could find no such place.
and on coming back into town he found
that the negro Williams lived about a
block from the place where he had seen
his wife. He sent the detective on this
nine-mile chase in order to give his wife
time to go home and hide the stolen
property.
Detective Wetherhorn was not to be
outdone, however, and he sent the woman
word if the property was not forthcom-
ing he would have to arrest her. That
brought it without any more trouble
The goods recovered from Williams were
valued at about $40.

FOUR SET ros FOR FUN.
a Lively Nights Sport at the Athletic
Club,

The Athletic Club opened it's doors last
| night, and its rooms. No. 20 Drayton
street, were filled by the local sporting
fraternity. Four bouts were arranged
for the entertainment of the visitors, but
owing to the sickness of one of the con-
testants, the last setto was scratched.
The contests took place in a twenty-foot
ring, the same ring used at the Duffy
Silverthorn fight at Thunderbolt. On each
side of it was seating accommodation for
the crowd.
The programme opened with a friendly
setto for five rounds between two IN
knOwns. The contestants were coal
black, and from the start seemed to be
in for blood. One was trif1e lighter than
the other, but what he lacked in weight
he made up in science, for he simply
played with his opponent. At the end of
the fifth round Prof. Myers gave the
best of it to the maroon and white"
The scrap de resistance was next. It
was between Billy Veronee, a light
weight protege of Prof. Myers, and
George Gamble. 1t lasted flor three
rounds and was declared draw. We
romeo had much the better of the bout
from a scientific point, but Gamble was
so much superior in weight that he could
do nothing with him.
The final bout was between a salmon
colored darby built somewhat on the
Bob Fitfsimmons style long and
lanky, and a chocolate colored I'M
known. This bout was a go
as-you-please, and for time it looked
as If there would surely be a knock out
but both proved to be game, and when
the seventh round was ended the crowd
adjudged it a draw.
At the conclusion of the bouts it was
announced that Prof Myers was endeav-
oring to form an athletic class and that he
would be pleased to have those who
wished to join to remain and sign a
book which he had for that purpose.
The dues are 81 a month and will entitle
the member to one lesson a week and
free admittance to all of the bouts ar
ranged by the club. A number of admir-
eTs af the manly art remained
Jack Dempsey, the nonpariel, was pres
ent, and seemed to enjoy the sport.
A collection was taken up for those who
took part in the bouts.

TO DECIDE 1T TONIGHT.
The Committee at Work Soliciting Sub
scriptions for the Bureau.

The Committee at Work Soliciting Sub
scriptions for the Bureau.
The committees interested in the freight
bureau were conducting an active can
vass all day yesterday. and several quite
encouraging lists were seen, though the
amount has not yet been brought up TO
what it is estimated will be required.
Even the insurance men are taking some
interest in the work, and, though they are
not directly interested in the matter of
freights, they are interested in every
class of business and indirectly the ques-
ton is one of Importance to them
There is no doubt about the fact that
the entire business interests of Savannah
have been stirred up to no small extent
over the railroad and rate questions, and
there is complaint among many of the
merchants, who are finding that their
business is suffering from these causes.
The subcommittee, who were at work
yesterday, and who will continue to So
licit subscriptions to-day, will report to a
meeting of the general committee at the
residence Of Capt. D. G.. Purse, on LIB
erty street at sis o'clock tonight. The
reports made at this meeting will probably
decide the fate of the freight bureau. as
IL was contemplated at the meeting held
Tuesday night to bring the matter at
once to an issue. From present indica-
lions, there is no reason 20 believe that
its fate will be any other than Savan-
nahians desire, and that is that it will be
established.

AT THE THEATER.
"Yon Yonson" Makes a Eit on It's
Eirst Appearanoe.

q
First Appearance.
Yon Yonson was seen for the first time
in Savannah last night. 1t is a charm
ing play and was delightfully."- presented.
The story is not altogether an old one.
The author, Gus Heege, is an actor of
pleasing personality and his dialect is
rich and ineligible. The metamorpho-
sis Of raw Swedish emigrant into a
swell is not an everyday occurrence, but
1t serves very well in Yon Yonson to il
lustrate the possibilities of this glorious
government and lends interest to Heege's
novel creation.
The sale of seats for Jane tomorrow
and Saturday night and Saturday mat
inee viii begin this morning. The play
Is not new one to Savannah theater-
goers, but in spite of that the story of it
is Of interest. Charles SchackIeton is d
young man of prodigal ways and limited
income. He deceives his guardian, an
amiable old idiot named Kershaw. by
representing that he is married, thereby
extorting more money from the venerable
gentleman. Kershaw determines to pay
the young man visit and turns up unex-
pectedly, making it a necessity for
Schackleton to produce wife on short
notice. In Schackleton's service are two
servants, William, the cutler, and Jane,
the housemaid, and on the morning OF
Kershaw's visit these two worthless got
secretly married. When Schackleton is
required to produce wife he introduces
Jane, much to the discomfort of William
and Miss Lucy Norton, Schakletons real
fiancee. The effort to maintain the de-
ception with Kershaw and pacify Miss
Norton and William keeps Schackleton
busy and supplies an endless amount of
fun. This is the story of Jane, which is
without extravagant phraseology, the
best and most entertaining of the com
edies of English extraction. Jane is now
in the fifth season of uninterrupted pros
perity.

Arctic ChilIiness.

A person who has never been in the po-
lar regions can have no idea of what cold
is. When we have the temperature down
to 10 degrees or Is degrees above zero, we
think 1t bitterly cold, and If our houses
were not as warm as at least 90 degrees
above zero we should begin to think Of
freezing to death. Think, then, of living
where the mercury goes down to IS degrees
below zero in the house, In spite of the
stove. Of course in such case fur gar
ments are piled on until man looks like
a great bundle Of skins.
DR.. Moss of the polar expedition of 1876
and 1876, among other odd things, tells Of
the effect of cold on wax candle which
he burned there. The temperature was 95
degrees below zero, and the doctor must
have been considerably discouraged when,
upon looking at his candle, he discovered
that the flame had all 1t could do to keep
warm. 1t was SO cold that the flame could
not melt all the wax of the candle but
was forced to cut its way down, leaving a
sort of skeleton of the candle Ytanding.
There was heat enough, however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of
wax, and the result was q beautiful lace
like cylinder of white, with q tongue Of
yellow flame burning inside 1t and send
ing out into the darkness many streaks Of

Thought She Was Cleaning House.

sit is generally supposed that men are
much more untidy than women, said a
bookseller yesterday. "But can say, as
far as my experience in the business goes,
that woman Is utterly devoid of the sense
of order. Do you see that jumbled pile of
books9 Well, they were all stacked up in
piles alphabetically arranged, few min
utes ago. There are some !, 400 books that
we are selling for cents each, and we
place them In piles for the convenience of
buyers. A short time ago q man came in
and spent five or ten minutes looking over
the books, during which time he selected
five, for which he paid me. You would
not have known that the books had been
disturbed, for they were left standing just
as they were when the man came in.
When he left, that lady you see going out
of the door came In. She spent five or ten
minutes knocking the piles over and max
ing chaos out of the order in which we try
to keep the books. After she had complet-
ed her work Of thoroughly mixing the
books she turned to me and said: 81 can t
find what 1 want. I'll come tomorrow
when I've got my glasses with me-" Wom-
anlike, she had been looking for something
she couldn't see. Common occurrence? l

How PossessOrs of Valuable Stones Try to
Learn Their Real Worth-A Clever Fell
low Who Seemed to Be Square, but the
Crooks Gave Him a Bad Name.
A young man apparently in good cir
cumstances walked into jewelry store on
the Bowery one evening, took a good sized
diamond ring from his finger, and laying
it on the counter said to the clerk:
"How much will you give me for this
ring?"
"Do you want to sell ftp" asked the
clerk, taking rapid visual estimate, not
of the ring, but of its owner.
"Well, I might sell it if the offer was
enough"
1.-THE boss is out and I can't buy for the
store" remarked the man behind the
counter.
''Well, you might take look at it and
give me an idea of what you think I'd be
likely to get for 1t"
Picking up the ring the clerk examined
the stone and said: "You can't tell much
about q diamond under this light. I'd
have to see it in the daytime 1t might be
off color, and 1 couldn't tell it in this
light Bring it in tomorrow or next day"
The owner of the ring, after few more
questions to which the other returned
evasive answers, went out, and the clerk
turned to a reporter, who happened to be
Ia the store at the time, and observed:
''That fellow sell that ringP Not in a

The Old Lady Got the Seat.

The seats Of the car were filed and a
number of passengers were standing up as
the driver encouraged his tired horses to
push their uneven way along Van Buren,
street. A well dressed man of middle age,
with weary look upon his striking face,
cast his eyes about, and when they fell
upon an elderly woman carrying large
bundle he arose slowly and stretched his
arm forward to touch her shoulder A
spruce appearing damsel scarcely out of
her teens, one of the sort who look out for
No. under all conditions, had an observ-
ant eye for the mans movements and
quickly stole forward, with the full mental
purpose of stealing march on the old la
dy. But the middle aged man had not
passed through life without some study Of
youthful feminine manners on street cars,
and when she brought up in sitting pos
ture 1t was plump upon his knees. The
shock was so great that she was projected
so far forward before her recovery that the
old lady was comfortably resting in the
designated place, while the middle aged
man said audibly, "These seats were not
intended to carry double. Chicago Trib-
