PREPARING FOR The FRAY.
Candidates for Coroner Are Actively at
Work.

The Fight to be a Close One and the
Friends Of Each Candidate Ssnguine
Of His success-The COMMITTEES on
PollinG Places for the City Election
LIeets-A Proposition to Locate the
Polling Places in Vacant Houses
Favored.
The only event of interest in the county
election tomorrow is the contest for the
ooroner's office between Capt. W. D.
Dixon. the present incumbent, and Mr.. j.
~ Goette..
The friends of both were actively at
work yesterday and so were the candi-
dates themselves. 1t is generally predicted
that the race will be a close one. and
the result. Mr.. Goette's friends appear
especially sanguine and are claiming that
he will be elected by a large majority.
Each candidate will have headquarters
near the court house, with workers in the
field and challengers at the polls.
Justice W. II. Patterson, superintendent
of the election requests that all the man
ayers and clerks VIII meet him at the
court house Wednesday morning, not
later than $50 o'clock, and that if any
who We're appointed do not intend to
serve, will notify him at his Office to-day
in order that he may appoint others in
their places.
The committee appointed by Mayor Nc
Donough to select the polling places for
the city election met yesterday morn
ing at the city exchange. Nothing was
done at the meeting beyond a discussion
Of the proper places for the location of
the polling places. 1t was agreed that If
vacant houses or stores could be found
conveniently located in each district that
IL would be better TO use such places
rather than 10 erect shanties in the squares
for the purpose. The arguments used in
favor Of using vacant houses are that it
viii he less expensive than the shanties
and that in case of severe cold or heavy
rain the lattei would be almost untenable.
A search Will be made through the dis
tricts for vacant houses conveniently To-
Gated. The committee will hardly be able
to make its report to the meeting Of coun-
ell tomorrow night.

Worth Looking ct.

Now that every one is interested in
keeping warm, Messrs. Lowell and Lati-
more have brought out from one Of the
leading stove manufactures of the coun-

ADVICE FOR THE NEW YEAR.
Reduce Your Expenses.

Begin the new year with the determine
ton to spend less than you make and
you will surely find 1895 more prosper-
Gus than 1894. One Of the largest channels
for the useless waste of money is in the
purchasing Of apparel. All who want to
get the most for the money spent in this
important branch of expenditures should
deal where competition is met to such
an extent that they say
If you see any goods like ours that
you can buy for less than ours come
back and get your money"
IF you see any goods elsewhere that
you like better than ours, come back
and get your money"
This is the guarantee which the Fall5
Clothing Company at all times give with
each and every purchase made of them.
In the extraordinary sale which they are
now holding they have reduced their
goods to prices that have never before
been equalled in Savannah. A glance at
their advertisement on page will prove
this.-ad.

WATER STILL RUNNING SLOW.
Many Hydrants stin Open and Water
Running TO Waste

Many Hydrants Still Open and Water
Running TO Waste
The waterworks did not succeed in get
ting any better pressure yesterday than
the day before and water was not forced
beyond the second story Of houses in the
city The pressure obtained was 30 pounds
about half the regular pressure. The rea-
son given at the Waterworks was that so
many people in the city stil have their
hydrants open for fear of a freeze, caus-
ing such a heavy drainage from the mains
that 1t is impossible to get up the pressure
The leakage from broken pipes is be-
lieved to be small in comparison with the
loss from open hydrants.
Capt. James Manning, superintendent
Of waterworks, has spent almost his en-
tire time, night and day, since last Fri
day at the works and is doing everything
in his power to bring the supply up to
the usual standard.
Several fire MIGRANTS burst by the freeze,
have been removed and replaced with new
ones. The superintendent has a force at
work testing all the MIGRANTS in the city
in order that the work of the fremen may
not be interfered with by defective by
drants In case Of an emergency. The city
has about 400 fire MIGRANTS, the majority
of which are old style. 1t is likely that the
continued cold weather will result in con-
tinued low water pressure.

HAD A MARROW ESCAPE.
The Eolus' Rough Experience on Ty-
bee BAR.

Tho British steamship Ae-Olus. which
is now lying at the wharf of the lower
press, had very unpleasant experience
before coming up to the city. While cruis-
ing off T'ybee early Friday morning she
got into shoal water and went aground of
Hilton Point. She lay there waiting for a
pilot. Two tugs of the Propeller Towboat
Company offered assistance, which was
declined by Capt Brackenburg.
Saturday was a bitter day off Tybee
The wind was high, and the spray from
the waves was like icicles. A pilot boat
attempted TO so to the Ae-Olus but on
account of the shoal water could not
get nearer than four or five miles. Pilot
c. g. Maxim volunteered TO make the trip
which he did in an open boat, rowed by
two sailors. He found it one of the worst
experiences of his life but he made the
vessel and brought her safely into the
harbor. The Ae-Olus was not damaged
by her rough experience.
