The sOciety's Affairs to he Managed
by an Executive Committee.
The Festival Choral Society which has
been managed by the music festival COM
mittee, has organized by the election Of
a permanent executive committee to
manage its affairs. At the last meeting of
the society the following committee was
unanimously elected:
Chairman. ]. A. Bates; treasurer, p. NJ
Dougan; librarian, NJ. Temple Taylor;
Robert Ellington, John Nicolson Jr
The director, Mr.. Spencer NJ. White, also
acts as an eX-officio member of this COM
mittee.
Mr.. Bates then presented the matter
whether the society should give the an
nual music festival. He stated that if it
wished to undertake it. two gentlemen
having the interests of the society at heart
were ready to guarantee it against finan-
cial loss, and to give to it all profit that
could be realized above the running ex-
penses, or if the society Gid not wish to
give the festival ii would be gotten up as
previously by a committee of five or seven
gentlemen, and the profits, if any, would
be used as fund for running future fes-
rivals.
The first proposition was favorably re-
ceived by the society and after some dis
cussion ii was enthusiastically decided
that it should give the music festival IN
der direction of DR.. Palmer, and the en-
tire membership pledged itself to work
heartily for the festivals success

Many a family were disappointed dur
ing the recent stormy weather, in not
getting fully supplied with suitable food,
but there's one fact demonstrated to the
customers of H. Logan, and that is, he
is always ready, under all weather con-
ditions, to furnish them with the very
best the country produces. Logan's wag-
ons were out in the snow Friday, and al
though his drivers were slightly disfig-
ured by the pelting from the jolly snow
ballers, his customers were served on time
and no dinner was late on his account.
There's lots of nice things that are good
at this season, such as choice corned beef
rounds, sausage meat, and smoked ham,
all of which are specially prepared by H.

The Lottie Collins Company played to
good Saturday night audience last night.
and it was an enthusiastic one The gem
eral verdict was that the show was one of
the best Savannahians have had the
pleasure of seeing this season. Every
feature Of the performance was attrac-
tive and amusing, and Miss Collins dane
ing caught the crowd every time. All
the features were good, but too much can
not be said in praise of the excellent work
of the Meers brothers on the high wire.
The male members of the troop will
leave for Macon on this mornings train,
and Manager Cooney will make arrange
ments on their arrival there for defending
them in the charges on which they are
no be tried tomorrow morning. The wo-
men of the troop will 80 up on to-night's
train.
Manager Cooney has secured several
witnesses from among passengers who
were on the train in the Macon depot when
the difficulty for which they are wanted
took place. Several of the witnesses state
that while the difficulty was going on in
the depot, the only pistol shots fred, were
tired by one of the crowd belonging to the
transfer company there, who stepped out
side the depot, and while the dispute was
in progress, and fred two shots in the
air. This is where the story about the
shooting originated.
The ten members of the troop against
whom the charges Of rioting have been
preferred vii appear in the Macon court
for trial tomorrow morning. Several of
the witnesses in their behalf, voluntarily
offered their services to Manager Cooney,
and he will engage counsel on his arrival
in Macon this afternoon. He has no
doubt as to the result of the trial, and
feels outraged that so much should have
been made over so trivial matter. To-
morrow night the company will play in
Macon and go from there to Atlanta.

ROBERTS FOUND GUILTY.
The Courts VIII Deal with Oyster
Thieves Who Violate the Law.

The Courts VIII Deal with Oyster
Thieves Who Violate the Law.
Willie Roberts was found guilty in the
city court yesterday OF the larceny Of
seven bushels of oysters from the private
beds of Mr.. Henry Ambos at Thunderbolt,
and was sentenced by the court to pay a
fine of so and costs or spend one month in
jail.
There was no question as to his having
taken oysters from these beds, and the is
sue in the case was as to whether the
beds themselves came under the protec-
ton of the law This was, generally speak,
ing, as to whether they were located with
in 100 feet of habitable land. The beds are
at Thunderbolt, in the river just in front
of Mr. Ambos' place. The principal in
terest in the case is the question of the
extent Of the protection that will be af-
forded private oyster beds under the law.
Negroes have been in the habit of steal
ing oysters from such beds and bringing
them into the city and selling them. In
some cases, It is said, they have been
so bold as to sell the oysters to the par
ties from whose beds they were taken.
There are several other cases of the
same kind now pending before the city
court some of whom are being prose-
cuted by Mr.. AmbOS ana others by the
Savannah Bank and Trust Company. The
verdict and sentence of the court seems
to be to the effect that the law is to be
strictly construed. Mr.. Ambos, however.
stated on the witness stand, Il is said,
that even with the limited protection now
afforded by the law, he alone was able
to raise enough oysters to supply the
whole of Chatham county.
John r. Eaves and Gus Barr were
found guilty of being warrants and sem
fenced to two months each on the chain
gang.
Maggie Screven was given one month in
Jail for stealing 81 from George Sacres;
II. Williams, for simple larceny, went
to the gang for month; James Osborn
went out for four months for the larceny
of a dress from Lottie Small; Charles
Adams was sentenced to pay a fine OF
$50 or serve twelve months for the larceny
of a cap from NJ. Blumberg and Robert

urges more careful construction Of our
dwelling houses and the reconstruction of
present buildings to meet the exigencies
of the approaching transformation.
The professor also suggests that heavier
clothing be provided against next winter,
and as economy becomes necessary, he
directs attention TO b. h. levy and brothers
midwinter carnival of low prices and big
discounts as being most conducive to
strict economy, comfort and neatness.
The recent cold snap discovered lots
of thinly equipped wardrobes In this city,
and the very low prices at which they were
replenished at levys was a revelation to
every purchaser and popular indorse-
ment of levy's progressive and enter

opened and with the addition of spring
styles in fashionable derby and hange

A Margaret street Man Badly Ham

Louis Bloomberg. a merchant living and
doing business on Margaret street, called
at the city exchange yesterday to complain
of a gang of boys in that neighborhood
who have been making life burden for
him. Bloomberg has bad looking place
on the side of his head. He said that an
expressman was delivering some goods
at his house Friday afternoon when the
boys began pelting him with snowballs and
brickbats. He ran out to protect the ex-
pressman when the boys set upon him.
He defended himself, but they were too
many for him. George Hudson. one of the
gang, he said, cut him in the head with a
knife. He had the names Of several of
the gang, whom he said he wanted ar
rested. The Margaret street crowd is get
ting a very bad reputation. Hudson,
whom Bloomberg charges with cutting
him, was fined 81 In the police court the
other day for a similar row and another
of the gang was fined yesterday morn

Nothing mas been heard here from Peter
oaks. who is under arrest in New Or
leans for putting PHOSPHORUS in cotton
bales. He was given a hear
ing before United States
commissioner day before yesterday
The charge against him was con
spiracy TO destroy the West Indian steam
ship Florldian. He pleaded not guilty to
the charge, and was placed under a 5000
bond.
This and the fact that substance which
was supposed to have been dynamite ig-
nited itself during the night, and burned
its paper covering, and also the cover OF
the book on which it had been placed. We're
the only new incidents in the dynamite
case.
The supposed dynamite had been placed
in an envelope and laid on the cover of a
record book. The next morning some
charred paper and a black sticky sub
stance was all that was left. The black
stun smelled like burned sugar and had
strong acid taste. The remains Of the
stuff were covered with glass cover and
the United States commissioner was noti-
fed and ordered il carefully guarded, as IL
sHil be used in evidence. 1t Is expected
that an official analysis win be made and

Oaks was brought up from the Parish
prison. He stood nervOusly twisting his
hat around in his hands and looking out
at the street below him. AS the reading
finished ne drew himself up with a start
and said: Not guilty"
The commissioner then said: u will
place you under 5000 bond until again
notified That is only half the amount
that ] could put you under"
The prisoner said IL made no difference,
as he was a stranger here, and would
have as much difficulty in getting a 500
bond a 5000 one. He was then taken
back to the marshaps office and afterward
sent down to the Parish prison.
There was a great deal OF curiosity mani
tested in the mans appearance, and near
~ every clerk along the route from the
marshals Office TO the commissioners
rooms came to their doors 10 have a look
at him.
There were several callers at the mar
shais office, asking to see the prisoner
but the courts orders were that he was
TO be allowed to see no one but his law
yers, and the rule was strictly enforced
The evidence against Oaks is said to be
particularly strong, there being several
witnesses who will swear that they saw
Oaks put the stuff in the cotton bale
oaks sticks to his story, saying he was
a stranger in New Orleans having been
here only two months, and denying all
knowledge Of any tampering with cotton
bales.

Ex-Policeman John Kavanaugh has not
yet drawn his pay for the month of Jan
uary. The police are paid semi-monthly,
one-hslf a months salary being always
held back to make good any fines assessed
against them. Kavanaugh called at the
police barracks yesterday to get his money
for the last half of January. Police Clerk
Masters handed him the amount, minus
two days pay, at the rate of S2l6 a day.
Kavanaugh having been discharged on
Jan. %. and consequently having lost two
days of that month. He declined to re-
ceive- the money. He did a little figuring
on his own account and found that he had
been locked at the rate Of thirty days in
the month, whereas there were thirty-one
days in January.
Kavanaugh claimed, however that he
should not have been locked but for one
day, thirty days being the recognized legal
month. He argued that a policeman re-
ceived S55 a month, whether the month
was twenty-eight days or thirty days or
thirty-one days in length. and that be-
cause he happened to be discharged dur
ing a month which had thirty-one days
this was no reason why he should have
been deprived of an extra days pay, es-
pecially when the deduction was calcu-
lated at the rate of thirty days to the
month He went off without taking his
money

TO HEAR both SIDES.
The City to Listen TO the Claims for
Railroad Terminals Thursday.

The city council will meet Thursday at
noon for the purpose of hearing from the
representatives of the rival railway COM
panies, the Macon, Dublin and Savan-
nah and the Atlantic Short Line, both of
which are asking for the same terminal
properties west of the city.
A member of the council said yesterday
that he did not think the council would
take any action in the matter one way
or another. UNLESS one of the companies
should offer very satisfactory guarantee
of the completion of a new line of rail-
road to Savannah II is probable he said,
that the council will allow the matter to
rest without taking action in favor of
either line, giving both TO understand that
the company which first completes a new
line to Savannah will have first call on the
terminals. The Macon and Dublin people
have paid $500 into the treasury already
which they have forfeited by their failure
to complete their line within the time
specified. Their grant to the property ex-

The prices at which the Falk Clothing
