WITHDRAW ITS OFFER
The Electric Railway Wants More
Streets Opened.

Unless the Streets Are Opened Across
the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway by January l, Tt Will With
draw Its Offer of Right-of-Way to
the City-The Matter Presented to
the Council.
The city council held its first night ses-
sion since June last night. The session
began early and was very short. There
was very little business before the board
besides the usual routine work Mayor
McDonough and Aldermen Bohan, Rems-
hart, Myers, Baldwin, Screven and Fol
lard were present.
About the only matter of business
which came up was a communication from
the Electric Railway Company, giving
notice that unless the streets across the
Savannah Florida and Western railway
are opened by Jan. next, the rights of way
for the streets through the lands of the
| company east of the railway, which were
granted at the time the Electric railway
was granted permission to run its track
through the market on the condition that
the streets should be first opened across
the railway by the city, will be with
drawn.
The council did not discuss the COM
munication, and it was referred to the
committee on opening streets. AS prac-
tically nothing has been done toward
opening the streets across the Savannah,
| Florida and Western railway, it is hardly
! likely that anything will be accomplished
| this year and it appears very likely that
| the city will lose the right of way for the
streets east of the railway
The election of MIR. Joseph Hull as a
member of the pilotage commission was
| confirmed by council.

COOL WAVE WON'T LAST LONG
The Weather Bureau Says it Will Be
Warm Again Tomorrow.

W III III AEhAh AO-luOIIoW'
The cool wave which has been looked
for with good deal of anxiety for the
last three or four days will hardly be
cool enough to cause any discomfort in
Savannah. If it were a little cooler than
it is it would be more acceptable.
The indications sent out by the weather
bureau last night located the crest of the
cool wave in the Middle Atlantic states
A severe storm is devoping in the north
west, and may have some effect on the
weather here.
Yesterday was a disagreeable, murky
day in Savannah The temperature did
not go above SO nor below TO-. but the
mean was still several degrees above the
average.
The rain in the afternoon had the effect
Of cooling the atmosphere somewhat and
the night was very comfortable. The
first shower came up late in the after
noon, and was for awhile severe. The
heaviest rain, though, was last night be-
tween and O'Clock. In three-quarters
of an hour, from 8 to s As o'clock, the fall

very cheering news. but it is better for

THE CLAIM SETTLED.
Mr.. A. o. Granger and the Seaboard
Company Come to Terms.

MI a. y. Granger and the Seaboard
Company Come to Terms.
The claim of Mr.. A. O. Granger of Phil
adelphia against the Seaboard Company,
on matter Of a breach of contract, in
which he claimed in exchange for thirty
seven shares of the stock which he held
with all the rights of the former owners.
that he should receive 81, zoo face value
in the bonds issued on the road has been
settled on terms satisfactory both to him
self aud the company.
Mr.. Granger bought this stock with all
the rights from certain parties on the line
of the road 10 whom the Seaboard com
pany had agreed to give bonds in exchange
for it, The demand for these bonds, how
ever, was not made until after the bonds
had been pledged as collateral security
for the syndicate loan, which was nogoti-
ated TO complete the property. A claim
for breach of contract therefor was all
that Mr.. Granger has against the road.
1t is said he will be a strong ally of the
new owners of the road in their work of
reorganizing it and the arrangements
which they will make to complete the line
into Savannah, whiy hey will DO by ne
gotiating with other lines building this
way.

JUSTICE TO THE SOUTH.
Old Father Time Is a Just Judge.
Prejudice Ruled Out.


When the Edinburgh ninth edition of
the Encyclopedia Britannica was COM
pleted in 1889, the southern press in gen
eral deplored the fact that work of such
eminent greatness should have been rem
dered unfit for American homes by the
fact that in certain articles there was an
apparent spirit Of malice toward the
south which made southerners unwilling
70 refer their children TO its pages for in
formation.
But truth crushed under the accumu-
lated burdens Of falsehoods is bound TO
rise again before the memory Of any event
passes finally into the pages Of history.
The fact that the new edition of the
Encyclopedia Britannica leaves no trace
OF its former unfairness, and does full
Justice 10 the south and her people is an
indication that the time is not distant
when all historians will portray in their
true Light the high and noble motives
which actuated the brave supporters of
the lost cause I'D.

WOULDN'T BE A CONSTABLE.
Policeman Counihan Resigned Rather
Than Serve as One

Policeman Counihan Resigned Rather
Than Serve as One.
Policeman Counihan rendered his resig-
nation as member of the police force to
Chief Green yesterday, The resignation
was accepted, and Counihan is no longer
member of the police force. His reason
for resigning, it is understood, is because
he OBJ ected TO serving as constable of
the city court. to which position he was
recently sworn in by order of Mayor
McDonough. His first work in this capa-
city was done night before last in assist
ing upon the raid of jamie Elmore's house.
This, it seems, was enough for Counihan,
and he resigned at once. Counihau had
the reputation of being the most power
full man on the force, he was very popu-
lar with the members and they regret
his RESIGNATION very much

Objectionable Letters That Pass

Obscene letters, such as were called to
the attention of the postofice officials
some months ago, and which caused the
arrest of a young girl, are continually
passing through the mails. The de-
tectives, or some Of them at least, seem
to be the latest objects at which these
missives are showered, and yesterday one
of the detectives received one of them
warning him that he had better be on the
lookout for somebody or something, about
which no very satisfactory explanation
was given. The letters are filed with
