THE OPENING RALLY PUT OFF.
DIR. PALMER MISSED HIS TRAIN AT
RIVER JUNCTION.


He VIII Lead the Festival Chorus
Tonight, However. and the Music
Loving Public VIII BE Admitted
Free-The Lecture Room PILED
Last Night, and DR.. PaImer's Re
ceptiOn Would Have been an En-
BE Held To-day.
Had DR.. II. r. Palmer arrived in the city
yesterday he would certainly have reoelv-
ed a warm and enthusiastic reception
from the musical people Of Savannah. and
no doubt tonight he viii be as happily
greeted as though he had not been de-
layed.
When the hour arrived for the begin
ming Of the opening rally OF the musical
festival last night. the lecture room Of the
Wesley Monumental church could scarcely
hold the people that were streaming in.
The seats up in front were reserved for
those who were to take part IN the singing
and they were soon hlIed- Visitors found
seats in the rear and in the class rooms
which open into the main lecture room,
and those who could not find seats. OF
whom there were many, sought standing
room in the aisle.
Shortly after o'clock an announcement
was made by Mr.. J. A. Bates to the effect
that Dr. Palmer had been detained
through no fault Of his own. and the large
musical audience that had gathered mild
" expressed its disappointment Mr..
Bates said that Or. Palmer had conduct
ed a concert at DeFuniak, Fla. the
night before Immediately after which he
had taken the train for Savannah which
should have put him here about noon yes
terday. Unfortunately, however, he miss
ed his connection at River Junction and
had to remain there all day, which was,
no doubt as much to his discomfort and
displeasure. as to the disappointment Of
those who gathered to receive him.
Mr. Bates. stated, however, that DR..
Palmer would reach the city al o'clock
this morning. and would be at the practice
which VIII be held this afternoon. In or
der that no one would be disappointed

the work which the festival chorus will
have 10 take up, and Prof Spencer NJ.
White acted as director. He was warmly
apple uded when Mr. Bates announced that
he would lead the exercises Of the evening.
The work of the evening was interesting
and instruc tive, and the visitors present all
remained during the singing.

were taken last night. the chorus OF $50

FOUND DEAD IN HER BED.

Mrs. Francis Bannon stricken Dur
ing sleep.
Mrs. Francis Bannon, wife OF Engineer
John Bannon Of the Central railroad, was
found dead in her bed at her home. at No.
2ss West Broad street, early yesterday
morning. Her death was caused by con-
gestion Of the brain.
Mrs. Bannon had been complaining for
several days of a tightness across the
chest Night before last she complained
before retiring of acute pains in the head
About 6 o'clock yesterday morning her
little babe. which was sleeping with her
was heard crying. The eldest child. a girl

was the matter, and why her mother did
not try to hush the baby. She found that
her mother was dead. She gave the alarm

The death is a sad one. It leaves six

WANTS A HORSE AND BUGGY.
suPt. wade TO See That work on the
County Roads l. started at Once.

County Roads l. started at Once.
Superintendent Of Roads r. J. Wade
win enter upon the duties Of his new
ofice at once. He was in consultation
yesterday with Chairman Chaplin OF the
committee on roads and bridges and they
are now making an investigation 70 see
what implements will be needed to be-
gin the work, and just how far the tools
on hand viii go.
This committee has authority from the
commissioners TO purchase whatever is
necessary to carry on the road work as
contemplated under the law, and as the
roads and bridges committee thinks II
should Be DONE Under this head there
viii probably come a horse and buggy
for Superintendent Wade, as he viii have
great deal OF territory TO cover, and
much Of the work IS 10 be done at
considerable distance from the city.
Superintendent Wade has already made
an application 10 Chairman Chaplin for
this convenience and the latter now has
1t under consideration.
The first work that IS expected 10 be
done is the repairing OF the Ogeechee
road near the eight mile post. The road
IS IN a very bad condition about this
point and there have been a large num-
road gang, IN which about twenty-five
men will be employed, will be put to work
here as soon as complete arrangements
have been made TO supply them with the
necessary implements. Bad places on the
Louisville and Augusta road will be the
next places touched
The roads and bridges committee is go
ing TO have prepared at once a list of
persons who are liable to road duty, or
the payment OF a tax in lieu thereof, and
they viii be held to comply with the law.
The general impression is that the working
OF the roads under this new law will be
more satisfactory. and that more viii be
accomplished than has been done here
tofore.
The road commissioners still retain their
corporate existence, but under the pro-
visions of this law their power is practi-
cally all taken away from them and there
Is nothing left for them to do. Chairman
Bourquin has stated that the commission
ers would still hold on to their corporate
existence as a body, and that they are
not dead yet by good deal. He seems of
the opinion that the working of the roads
Will ultimately go back under the old
regime. 1t will be interesting to note what
the road commissioners have to say about
the new law at their next meeting.

The Outlook for the Completion of
the Public Building.
1t is expected that the new public build
ing will be under roof by the fall of 1896
That is what Supervising Architect KEN
per is counting on.
1t is the policy of the present admins

construction, before commencing the new
projects recently provided for.
Savannah comes under the former head
and the acting supervising architect says
the work on the structure here will be
advanced as rapidly as possible. There Is
ample means on hand, for in addition
to the 100000 provided in the sundry
civil appropriation bill, there is a COM
Portable balance on hand from a former
appropriation. .......
The drawings and specifications for the
super-structure are now being prepared in
the supervising architects office and it is

and crew arrived at Liverpool last Tues
day on board the British steamer Della

Bremen, was from Hamburg March s.

flames, working constantly night and day.
but the fire slowly spread and increased
in intensity until last Saturday, 1t was
seen that the bark was hopeless and the
ship was doomed. The crew then took
to the boats and we're soon afterward
sighted and picked up by the Delaware.
The loss of the Donau will bring tender
memories to the minds of many German
citizens of this country, particularly in
this city. For years this steamer piled

gering their lives by doing It.
The necessity of the street car men ex-
ercising particular vigilance, said a patron
OF the lines yesterday, TO avoid accidents
on Price street is apparent to everyone
who has kept his eyes open while riding
on that street. 1t is one of the most thick
" settled streets in the city. As a rule
throughout the city the houses face on the
east and west streets. but on Price street
the houses face directly on that street and
are very close together. The street is a
narrow one, children are numerous and
there is constant danger Of accidents.
The wonder is that with so many small
children constantly in the street serious
accidents are not more numerous than
they are.

PIRATES PLAY EACH OTHER.
TEN MEN AND A BOY WITNESSED
THE sET-TO OF COLTS AND
REGULARS.

At the End of six Innings the Colts

Was Called OLA Local Team 10
Tackle Pittsburg Tomorrow.
Yesterdays game between the first and
second team Of the Pittsburg club was
go-as-you-please free-for-an. and when
the game was ended. or rather when it
was brought to an abrupt ending by
Manager Mack, calling it in the last
half Of the sixth inning. as near as
could be figured the score stood 10 10 .
in favor OF the colts.
The game was a burlesque on baseball
and was one of the finest exhibitions on
that line the fans have seen since a min
strel company played a game of that
character here several years ago.
Either the crowd that generally at
tends baseball games had other engage
ments or else they thought that admit
lance was by invitation only, for when
Umpire Power called ''playball," in his
stentorian voice. the spectators number
ed something like ten men and a boy to
say nothing of the dog
AAC 6dAAd was EWllN Olt lIoul inc
opening, The colts piled up four runs
in the first inning. three more in the
third, one in the fourth, but did not
score in the fifth. The regulars scored
six runs in the second, two in the fourth,
and one in the fifth. In the sixth inning
the game was ended in a blaze
of glory by the colts adding two
more runs to their score.
Hart got a beautiful home run over the
fence, bringing in Menafee, who was on
base. AS Hart made the circuit of the
bases and touched the home plate, the
immortal eleven-ten men and boy-set
up feeble cheer that was enough to
turn faint the heart of any player.
Things came TO crisis here and Man
ager McGillicuddy had the game called
The eleven spectators, who had been kind
and considerate enough TO sit the game
through, were informed that they would
be admitted to Saturdays game free.
There was still an inning due the regu-
lars, but much to the pleasure of the
spectators they did not press their rights
The game was so fast and furious that
the official scorer could not keep up with
it. At late hour last night he was
still on IL, and 1t is thought 1t will be got
ten up some time to-day. This is the
score by innings:
RHE
Colts ......................4O 2-1O 3
Regulars ..................0 6O21 ks IL
Batteries-Hawley, Hart and Mack
Colcolough. Jordan and Sugden.
There will be no game to-day. To-mor-
row a team composed of local men with
a battery loaned by Pittsburg viii play
the Pirates. The team is a strong one and
will no doubt give Manager Mack's men a
good tussle.
Jordan who was playing center field for
the colts. yesterday, was taken from the
field during the game and put to pitch
for the regulars, thereby making him
play against his own team. Everything
went though.
The Young Heroes were defeated by the
Brooklyn Juniors yesterday afternoon by
a score of 80 to 36. The game was played
at Barnard and Huntingdon street. The
batteries were Bailey and Harmon for the
Brooklyn Junior, and Cronk, Sheftall and
Hayward for the Heroes.

c. H. Leiding, who has been in jail for
some time under charges of larceny after
trust, preferred by the Southern 50 Pants
Company, of which he was formerly agent
here, was released yesterday on his own
recognizance. Leiding was charged on
two occasions with appropriating to his
own use funds belonging to the company,
and after a hearing before a jury in the
superior court on one of the charges
at the last term. a mistrial was the re-
suit. He was held for trial at this term
but ii seems that Mr.. T. A. Lord, the
manager of the company, and the prose-
cutor, when summoned on one or two
occasions to come to Savannah for the
trial of the case, notified Solicitor
General Fraser that he would be unable
to do so.
Under these circumstances there was
nothing else to do than to release Leid-
ing on his own recognizance.

Here TO Africa in 1853.
Mr.. r. II. Maxey. an old resident Of

a scene ever occurred in the south-a ship
dead Of negro enigrants leaving the eoun-

1853, Mr. Maxey says, a meeting was held
in Savannah in the interests Of emancipa-
tion and for assisting a number of eman-
cipated slaves about to embark for Lii
IBERIA. The sentiment OF this meeting was
toward the abolition of slavery, Mr. Maxey
says. and the departure of a shipload Of
negroes for Africa was but a matter of
course.
