GATHERING OF THE ORDINARIEs.
over 100 Expected in Savannah
To-day.


The ordinaries of Georgia will meet this
morning in the superior court room, where
the annual convention will be organized
for business. Quite a number of them
from nearby counties have already arrived
in the city, attracted no doubt by the COM
mencement of May week. The majority,
however, will arrive this morning.
1t is expected that there will be fully 100
ordinaries out of the 1876 in the state in at
tendance on the convention. 1t is held at
a time when they have very little business
to attend TO, and besides they have the
advantage of a lower railroad rate than
is usually the case for their conventions
They can come to Savannah for one fare
for the round trip, on account of May
week, for which that special rate has
been granted by all the railroads coming
into the city.
President H. w Bell, ordinary of Jack
son county, will cali the convention to-
gether this morning at 1920 O'Clock in the
superior court room, and the ordinaries
will organize for business. The first DAVIS
business will consist more of preliminary
matters than anything else but no doubt
before the ordinaries adjourn they will
discuss several legislative reforms in con-
nection with their courts in which thew
are interested. Judge Ferrill says, how
ever. that there Is no very special business
to come before the convention, but he will
see to it, no doubt, that the ordinaries
have good time during their stay here
They will remain in the city after their
session this morning and take in the Nav
week festivities, going down to Tybee TO-
night on the late train. They will hold
their sessions Tomorrow at the Hotel W
bee, and their final session there on Fri
day morning, after which they will ad-
joUrn and come up to the city about noon
to spend the rest OF the day in looking
around Savannah, and the nearby minis
of interest Judge FerriIl, who is cbair-
man of the executive committee. has ar
ranged an interesting programme for the
entertainment aVfa

doubt, be made an ENJOYABLE ono ~

Lune II.

Receiver John r. Young of the Atlantic
Short Line received notice yesterday that
he has been directed by Judge Speer of the
United Stats court to sell the property of
that road under a decree-g granted in favor
Of the Central National Bank OF New York

stems OF the custom house on that date.
The price fixed for the property is $500, 900
cash or S255. 600 in deferred payments with
good security to be approved by the court
The Macon and Dublin people have signi-
fed a desire to secure the property. In
fact il is considered that 1t is practically
essential to their line, as without ii they
will have to build a similar property par
allel to 1t. There seems to be little donbt
that they will secure IL.

THE FIREWORKS ON THE RIVER
Ten Thousand People Gathered ia
witness the Display.

Witness the Display.
The sham naval battle and marine fire
works exhibition on the river front last
night was a success in one particular and
that was the crowd. There was a tre-
mendous crowd. Fully 10000 people
crowded Irish park, filed the East Broad
street slip and lined the water front be-
hind the ruins of the old rice mill. Every
available bit of space was taken up AMI
many people came away before the exhi-
bition began because they could find no
place from which to get view of the
river The steamboats, Stafford and Vigil
liant had large crowds abroad. Each
steamer aso had a band of music
The exhibition which was expected to
begin by $50 o'cock did not begin until
over an hour later. The sham battle was
not thrilling sight. There were a few
bomb explosions and some marine fire.

they were few and far between for such
a crowd and such an area of water. Prof
Oldrieve walked on the water all right but
owing to the insufficient light the crowd
could not get the full benefit of the per-
Torrance. The walking on the water is
done by small boats, which look from a
distance like snowshOes, attached to the
feet. This feature was new to most Of
the crowd and if they could have seen
more OF It they would nave been better
satisfied. 1t was II o'clock when the ex-
hibitiOn concluded.
Then general opinion was that the ex-
hibition would show up better by day-
light when the fun benefit of the per
Torrance can be obtained Those who
wish to see man walk on the water will
have an opportunity to do so at Tybee
tomorrow afternoon, when Prof Old
rieve will repeat his performance.
Some idea of the size of the crowd can
be obtained, when it is stated that there
was at one time serious danger of STAN

FIREMEN AT THEIR BEST.
Chief Puder and His Men Make

drends of people gathered on the streets
in the neighborhood of Bull and Liberty

The iremen at their station houses were
all ready to move an hour beforehand.
The machines had been polished till they
shone like FURNISHED silver. The horses
had been groomed until their coats shone
and the men were all spick and span in
black tie and a bunch of flowers on the
f-sepei OF bis coat, while the whips Of the

 House bill No. 73, by Mir.

A CASE OF INTEREST.
The Osborn Herd of Jerseys in the
 Courts.

COuI LSs
 An interesting trial and the first of the kind ever brought before an Ari- zona court will probably cone up in the district court this week. It is the Osborne Donnelly ease growing cut of sale by Donnelly to Osborne more than year ago of herd of Je,sey cattle for something more than $6.G00.
 Soon after the cattle were brought here tuberculosis was detected in one of them and soon after several others responded to .ubel culin tests. A great many Of the cattle ard calves dropped since then have been killed and in all instances they were found to be in an advanced stage of the disease.
 The cattle were accompanied by certificate of health from stale veteri- marian of Missouri, Dr. George Rois, who is now in the city as witness in the case, and on his testimony Donnelly will largely rest. On the other hand, Osborne will contend that the cattle could not have contracted the disease in the widespread form in which it had developed in the brief interval between their arrival and it's discovery. The suit ia to invalidate an obligation given by Osborne in payment for the cattle and also to recover damages.
 The lesson to be gleaned is that too great care cannot be exercised in the admission of cattle into the territory and stockmen predict that the ventila- tion of the case on trial will lead to the application Of some test, say the tuber-' culin to all cattle, though seemingly healthy, before admission.

HOUSES OF LAW. Events in the Legislature
 Yesterday. Contempt Bill Passes
 Both Houses.
A Breeze in the Assembly In-
 creases in Violence.
The Measure to Put Down Gam bling Is Buried Fathoms Deep
 In the Assembly.

The breeze which sprang up in the assembly on Monday afternoon during a debate between MT. Gaddis of Mohave and Mir. Wildman of Maricopa, over the bill for the removal of the normal school to Tucson, continued yesterday morning with an increased violence which threatened hurricane.
 The echo of the clerks voice after roll call had hardly died away before MT. Wildman was on his feet. Re ferring to the charge made the day be- fore against MT. Gaddis, in the language taken down, "that the law had been introduced for the purpose of infuenc- ing legislation in other matters" he said that the accusation contained in those words against Mir. Gaddis was un- just and as he had since learned was not borne out by the facts. He desired therefore to humbly apologize before the house to the gentleman from Mohave.
 Mir. Gaddis then rose to question of privilege. He said that not anticipat- ing the apology of Mir. Wildman, he had lut6nU6u u Ldk6 tulo hCtlOu duu udO prepared an address which though ex- pressive of deep feeling might be con- fined within the rules of the assembly and at the same time place him in his proper attitude before the house.
 The charge that the bill was not in- troduced by him in good faith, he said was an infamous falsehood, of charac- ter to blacken the record of midnight assassin. Equally false was the charge that he had represented another person or combination of persons in it's intro duction. He had entered into no con- bination in this or any other instance, but had conducted himself he believed, in the interest of not only his own con. stituercy but of the whole territory He then proceeded indirectly to speak about the bill and reiterate it's merits.
 The bill itself set for yesterday was again postponed for another day.
 Nothing else of special interest oc- cured in either branch.

 Col. W. F. White, general traffic manager of the Santa Fe system, was a visitor at the cham bers of Governor Hughes yesterday afternoon. He mani tested great deal of interest ID the prosperity of the territory and especially commended the bill now before the legislature creating territorial board of immigration. He said the informa- tion collected by such a board would be dis seminated by railroads having inter- ests in the territory and would be n1uts- ally beneficial to the territory and the railroad companies. The information particularly desired and most aa- vantageous could in his opinion be col lected in TO other manner and he hoped that the blll establishing such medit,n of information would become law.
