RECEIVED WIFE OPEN Arms.
Mr.. Myers Given an Ovation By the
Citizens Club.


The Citizens Club held an enthusiastic
meeting at odd Fellows han last night. BY
$50 o'clock nearly 90 people were in the
hall and others were pressing in at the
door
As Mr. Herman Myers. the clubs can
didate for mayor. entered he was greeted
by a prolonged and enthusiastic round Of
applause which lasted several minutes.
OF course he must be heard from. and
those present would not listen 20 anything
until he took the stand He made con
serVative speech and one that appealed
strongly 10 his hearers. ale spoke in favor
OF an economical administration Of the
city government and one which would be
Of benefit 10 it. There were many depart
ments, he said, where beneficial reforms
. could be inaugurated. If elected. he said
I he would 90 into office untrammelled by
promises or any reward. No rewards had
been promised, he said. and none asked.
Circumstances had encouraged him 10
I believe, he said, that he would meet with
Z success, and there was a long and loud
Amen 10 the sentiment when he took
his seat.
DR.. Falligant made a short speech. in
which he spoke Of Mr.. Myers as the best
equipped man for mayor in every sense
of the word He believed he would meet
with success in the campaign. Speeches
along the same line were made by Messrs.
T. 5. Morgan, Jr., and d. r. Lester. Both
said they looked on Mr.. Myers as the best
man the people Of savannah could elect
mayor.
President Osborne stated that all reports
as TO any aldermanic ticket to be put out
by the Citizens Club were unfounded. He
said the club anticipated no trouble what
ever In securing a satisfactory board Of
aldermen. The matter had been left to
a committee of twenty-five members Of
IN club, 70 act in connection with the ex-
ecutiVe committee, which also consists
Of twenty-five members. This first com
mittee, he said, had not been appointed,
but would be appointed to-day. and he
hoped IT would be ready to make a report
to the club at the next meeting The only
trouble anticipated, President Osborne
said, was that there We're too many citi-
trouble, he said, about getting good
board.
The club adjourned. and those members
who desired to take advantage of the CD
portunity went into room just behind
the han, where several booths had been
erected 10 illustrate the manner in which
the vote Will be taken. They We're in
structed in the manner of making out the
ballot and were shown all the details of
the new method of voting.
The statement was made from authori-
tative sources yesterday that neither Col.
Gordon will be on the Duncan ticket, nor
Alderman O'Brien and J. s. Collins on the
Myers ticket. 1t is quite likely that sew
eral changes will be made in the Duncan
ticket yet. The Myers ticket has, of
course not been brought before the Citi-
zens' Club, and for that matter, neither
ticket has been officially ratified, and it
may be that the both tickets viii be ma
terially changed before they are officially
announced.

TOURISTS ON THE MOVE.
Accommodations on the Vestibule All
Engaged for This Month.

The travel of the tourists is just be
ginning to open up, and in few days
they win be coming down from the north
with a rush. Trains have passed through
Savannah already with as many as 120
northern tourists aboard, and the aver
age daily number on the Florida trains
for the last ten days has been about 10
or 80.
The first vestbuled train of the At
lantic Coast Line and Plant system left
New York yesterday at 1880 O'Clock, and
will reach Savannah to-day at 2:32 D. m.
and the first vestibule for the north will
leave st. Augustine tomorrow at $3.50 a.
m, passing through Savannah on the way
north at 3:37 p. m. These trains will be
run every day except Sunday, and are
among the most elegant to be found any
where in the country. The sccomoda-
lions on these trains have been engaged
by northern tourists to Florida as far
into the season as Jan. so, and they will
likely be engaged steadily after that
time until quite late in the season.
Some few northern tourists are already
stopping ar the De Soto hotel, and things
are beginning to look a little livelier
around there Cobbs orchestra is fur
nishing some good music every evening,
and the hotel is made a pleasant place
for the guests.

Suicides at Sea.


Frank L. Usher Of Potsdam, St Law
renee county. n. Y. jumped overheard
from the steamship City Of Birmingham
Saturday night. off Cape Hatteras. and
was drowned.
Usher was a cabin passenger and was on
his way south for a hunting expedition
with two friends. He was missed about
q o'clock Saturday, and was last seen
about an hour before that time. He had
been acting strangely during the day, and
1t Is supposed that while in a demented
condition he walked TO the stern Of
the ship and jumped overheard. Usher's
father is "A wealthy merchant of Pots
dam.
The young man was a victim of the
cigarette habit, and his trip south was
with view to effecting. If possible, an
estrlngement from the habit. Nessrs
Dean and Pearce, two personal friends,
accompanied him, and really had him in
charge on the steamer. Usher did not eat
any dinner Saturday. He complained OF
feeling badly. and after dinner went TO
his stateroom and lay down. His COM
panons saw him there an hour before
he was missed. He had been walking on
the deck up TO $50 o'clock. and when last
seen was lying in a berth in his room. He
slipped out OF his room soon after and
a few minutes later was overheard. His
overcoat was found in the stern Of the
ship, showing clearly what his fate had
been. He gave no intimation of his pur-
pose. and his friends feel keenly his death.
No effort was made to recover the body.
as Il would have been useless to have
done so.
The young mans family was notified
Of his death Immediately upon the arrival
Of the ship here.

A RECEIVER APPOINTED.
John R. Young Temporary Receiver of
the Electric Railway.

me rumor printed in the Morning News
yesterday of a receiver for one of the Sa-
vannah electric roads was widely dis
cussed. a Macon dispatch to the Morn
Mig News states that John r. Young
has been made temporary receiver Of
the savannah Street railway and of the
Electric railway. The appointment was
secured by H. Il. W Palmer Of Atlanta
and was made by Judge Speer Friday
The hearing is set for Jan. Is in Augusta.
Mr., Palmer brought the order to Sa-
vannah Saturday, with the understand
ing that it was to be filed in the office
of the clerk of the United
States court here. Up to last
night it had not been filed, and Mr..
Palmer presumably has it in his pocket
Mr.. Young, President Collins and Mr.
Mackall and the directors Of the Electric
railway who We're seen yesterday, main
tained ignorance of the appointments
Mr.. Palmer declined to be seen. Presi-
dent Collins said he knew nothing about
any receiver being appointed, and had
no idea what the source of any move
in that direction could be.
just why Mr.. Young has been made re-
ceiVer no one seems to know. He saws
than he knows nothing about the matter.
1t is understood that Mr., Palmer repre-
SCENTS certain bondholders who object
10 the proposed reorganization of the
road, and the rcceiversnip is the result
of steps taken by them.
Mr.. Mackoll. counsel for the road, left
for New York at noon yesterday, it is
supposed on business connected with the
recciVership and reorganization Mr.
Palmer was in conference during the
day with President Collins and the at
torneys for the road. What the nature Of
the conference was neither Mr.. Palmer
nor the representatives, of the road will
say. Tn proceedings surrounding the re-
ownership are being carefully guarded,
and until the order appointing the re-
ceiver has been filed it is likely that very
little will be known of the grounds upon
which it is granted.

THE ONLY THING IN THE WAY.
Capt. Hayes Explains What Is Delay
ing the Central's Reconciliation Plan.

Capt Hayes Explains What Is Delay
ing the Central's REORGANIZATION Plan.
Co-Receiver r. Somers Hayes of the
Central railroad arrived in Savannah
yesterday afternoon via the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad and is stop
ping at the De Soto.
Capt. Hayes is here on purely bust
ness trip. his object being to look over
the ground and see how things are going
on. He viii make a trip over the entire
system, leaving Savannah Wednesday and
viii lee in the south a week or ten days.
He was asked last night by a represen-
tative of the Morning News if there was
any news of interest with regard to the
reorganization plan OF the Central prop
critics. Capt. Hayes said that practically
nothing was done during the holidays, and
that things Were in very much the same
condition that they We're two or three
weeks ago. He said that the only thing
in the way now was the suits brought by
the old Richmond and West Point Ter
minal and Warehouse Company against
some of the parties who sold that com
pany the majority stock of the Central
railroad, and these parties happen to be
the same who now hold a portion of the
Central railroads floating debt They
want the suits against them withdrawn
and refuse to take bonds in the new COM
pany for their holdings unless this is
done.
Capt Hayes said. however, that he had
seen several of the attorneys engaged
in the case just before leaving New York
among them Mr. Julian T. Davies
and Mr.. Henry Crawford and
they had both assured him that
it was very probable that these mat
ters would be settled up within a few days.
though in just what manner he could not
say. The impression here has been that
these matters were already settled. but
this seems not to be the case. This is
now the only thing in the way of the pub
LEGATION of the reorganization plan.
