have been affected by the smoke of the
stage in such war plays as "Shenan-
doah" They advised her retirement, and
she has decided to- do so. having returned
to her home in New York
Miss kirkland has achieved prominence
outside Of her stage career by the rumors
concerning her engagement to young Mr.
Gould
one Of Miss Kirklands friends is quoted
as saying that Notwithstanding reports
to. the contrary, il is probable that She
will marry Howard Gould this winter
1t is a well-known fact that it was she
who broke the engagement, because of the
fact, perhaps. that some of the Coulds
objected on account of her being on the
stage.
She has retired permanently now. and
it is said the wedding will occur during
the winter, provided Miss Kirklands

TO TEST THE FIVE CENT FARE.
The Electric Railway Violating It's Con-
tract With the City.

The employees Of the Central and sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railways
on the Central railroads wharves will
soon test the right of the Electric Rail
way to charge more than cents for a
ride from any point on the
belt road TO the wharves or
from anywhere to any point on the belt
Under the ordinance Of council passed
July g. 1880. allowing the Belt Line to
use electricity, it was provided that the
fare to be charged from any point on this
line or road within the city should not ex-
coed 8 cents for each passenger carried to
any other point, by day or night
Before the construction Of the cleo
trio railway system was begun the
company at that time entered
into mutual agreement with the city
to this effect. The patrons of the Indian
street line want to know how the Elec-
trio Railway can charge passenger who
boards one of its ears at the corner of
Drayton and Bay streets and rides to a
point on Indian street cents. Under the
existing order passenger is required 10
pay / cent from Drayton to Bull street,
j cent from Bull to West Broad street
and 3 cents from West Broad
street to any point on Indian street,
making Z cents for less than half a mile
ride. while the same road carries a pas
senger from Bull and Bay, around the belt
to Bull street and Estill avenue, a dis
tance of nearly three miles, for l cent.
This, II is commended is unjust and un-
reasonable, and, in so far as 1t violates
the city ordinance, will be opposed.
a test case can be quickly made by
rendering cents for the full trip, and al
lowing the passenger TO be removed by
force thus giving ground for suit for
DAMAGES.

PLENTY OF CANDIDATES.
Those Who Want to be Made Clerk of
the County Commissioners.

Candidates for the position of clerk Of
the county commissioners are springing
up. now that the one Office for one man
bill has become a law, and Capt. John
r. Dillon will have to forego the pleasure
of being both tax receiver and clerk of the
commissioners.
The bill, il seems, was aimed directly at
him and of course he would give up the
clerkship Of the commissioners rather
than the Office of tax receiver. He will
stand for election to the latter office
again next January.
In connection with the clerkship Of the
county commissioners Mr.. James McIn-
tire has been mentioned as a candidate,
and il is understood that a petition has
been circulated or will be circulated, in
behalf of Mr.. AuVergne D'Antl 'TIac.
There will likely be other candidates for
the Office, which pays $500 a year.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Senator Osborne Confident That Chat
hams Registration Law VIII Not be
Intsrferad With.


Intsrfersd With.
There seems TO De a difference OF opin-
ion with regard to the operations Of the
general registration law which has just
been approved by the chief executive OF
the state. between Information obtained
from the governor as published in the
special dispatch TO the Morning News
yesterday. and the view taken Of the mat
ter by Senator Osborne.
The bin states at the outset that all
elections in Georgia after those which
are 10 take place next January, shall
take place as provided by that general
law. This. IL would seem, would have
the effect Of displacing all the local reg
istratiOn laws in the various counties
which have them. A great many do not
like the idea that Chatham's special reg
istration law may become a dead letter.
anu senator Osborne takes "a different
view Of the case.
He saws that the special registration
Jaws Will not be displaced by the general
law, under which he states a fair cleo
ton could not De held Chatham regis
tfdton law, he says, win continue of force
because q general law cannot be retroact-
we unless % specifically repeats another
law, or unless the terms Of the local law
are directly IN conflict with IT, This. he
says, is not the case with
IMAM COUNTY 3 registration law,
and 10 VIII, he says remain
IN force until DO is appealed on grounds
or unconsu tutionaiity. II il can be at
tackled on those grounds
Why as an instance in point" Mr.
osborne said, take the law passed in
1873 creating the board OF county commits
sioners for Chatham county. which gave
them the power TO appoint election man
ayers In 1852 general law was passed
providing that an election should be man
AGED at each precinct by "A justice OF
the peace and two freehOlders but this
law did NOT provide how the election man
ayers should be appointed. NotWi thstand-
ing this general law was passed. &c did
not interfere with the terms of the spec
ial law Of this county. which gives the
commissioners the power of appointing
election managers.
Another case, more in point, is that
by the amendment to the law creating
Chatham county's commissioners. passed
in 96l4. the board was given the right to
set w and establish election precincts.
BY me adoption OF the code IN 1852. il was
provided that in every county the ord
mary should establish the election pre-
cincts. yet this latter law has in no
wise Interfered with the special power
granted TO the county commissioners by
the amendment passed in 1874. There is.
In my opinion, only one way in which the
special law Tor this county could be re-
placed by the general law, and that is 10
have the courts declare 1t unconstitu-
bOnal, ann il is decidedly doubtful
whether it could be attacked on consti-
futiOnal grounds.

IL Will be noticed that ther is no appro-
priation for bills payable in next years
budget The city has paid up all bills
payable, and will have remaining in hand
on the first of the year cash balance
of about $4,000 Notwithstanding the dis
continuance of quarantine fees and a
payment of $4,000 for paving Jefferson
street, over and above the appropriation
ana the non-cOllecting of any of the costs
of paving that street.
The income of this city for 1895, based
upon the receipts Of this year. will be
about $4,000. Adding TO this the $40 900
balance gives the city $780, 600 to meet the
budget of @SS.@0 leaving balance Of
$1,000 for contingencies. This is not a
very broad margin to go upon, hut ii is
great deal better than starting the year
with deficit This is one OF the few
years in which the city's expenditures
failed TO equal the budget appropriations.
There is a very good reason for this, and
that is that the city's income did not
equal the amount OF the budget, the result
of a general falling off in property re-
turns
The tax ordinance of 1895 is the same
as that of 1884 with the exception of the
following changes:
Dealers in coal, increased from $50 to 500.
Mercantile agencies, decreased from $3.50
to $l00.
Badges for street cars, reduced from
$50 to SIS each.
one-horse baggage and express wagons.
reduced from IS to So.
Marble and stone yards, reduced from
$50 to $50.
Street dealers in poultry, reduced from
SIS to SO
Every person selling from push carts
or other vehicles, except country carts,
selling their own produce, $50, and upon
payment of said tax, the city treasurer
shall furnish a badge which shall be
placed in a conspicuous place on the push
cart.
The section taxing every fire. life, or
marine insurance company doing business
in this city is changed TO include compa-
MES doing business through brokers, as
well as through established agencies.

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES.
A Nonsuit Refused in the Case Of ]. NJ.
Pitts Against the F. @. and P.

The suit of J. NJ. Pitts against the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
for $4,000 damages for personal injuries
was tried in the city court yesterday
Pitts was fireman on one of that road s
engines. and claimed that owing to a
faulty connection between the engine and
tender of which the company's agents
were aware and were negligent in not
repairing, he was thrown from the en-
CINE onto some iron bars Sept 80 of this
year and sustained severe injuries in his
spine which will likely be permanent.
The plaintiff was represented by Messrs.
j. H and D. G.. Clark and the suit was
defended by MIR. Davis Freeman of
Messrs. Denmark & Adams. AT the con
clusion Of the evidence for the plain
tim The defendants counsel made a
motion for a non-suit, which, after argu-
ment, was overruled by the court, and the
morning.
