THAT LIBERIAN COLONY.
How Chatham Country Negroes are
Disposing of Their Property.

Mr.. d. ]. Hummer, president of the In
ternational Migration Society of Biz
mingham, Ala, arrived in the city yester-
day. and is stopping at the Screven house
Mr.. Flummer is here to complete ar
engagements for the departure of the colony
of negroes, which will sail from Savannah
for Liberia either the latter part of this
month or about June /. The arrangements
for this colony are as yet in embryo
though about all the members, number
ing 222 have been enlisted, and are making
preparations to leave.
The agent of the society here, Mr. ]
w. Masters, thought, some days ago that
the colony would be ready to sail about
May 90 but it hast been found that ar
engagements cannot be fully perfected bV
that time, and 1t viii be some later before
the Horsa will sail with her cargo All
of the negroes VINO expect to go on this
county, about half, or more of them being
city negroes. They are disposing of their
property as rapidly as can be done, and all
that are going with this colony are negroes
who have enough property to carry them
through. Nine deeds 10 property each
piece ranging in value from 500 to 81 600
were filed for record in the superior court
yesterday. 1t is thought, however that
the amounts mentioned in some of these
deeds do not represent the actual amount
paid but are purposely made larger.
Several such deeds were filed previous
to this time, and all these mentioned ire
for property which has been sold by some
of the prospective negro emigrants. II
Is likely that each of them will have from
SO to $500 or $500 10 pay the expenses of

HOW 1T Is DONE IN CHATHAM.
The Interests of Young Criminals
Studied by the Courts.

Under the headline a Corrector Cor
rected," Once A Week calls attention
to a criticism upon one of it's statements
made by the Tallahassee Floridian. which
published a population of the formers
charge that little children are placed in
the chain-gang Of convicts in the state of
Georgia"
This charge was made by Once A Week
on what it seems TO have considered good
authority, and ii says that no Georgia pa
per has denied the truth OF the state
ment that children are placed In the chain
gang In Georgia among the most disrepu-
goes on to quote from a letter said 10 have
been written by resident OF Atlanta,
stating that children are chained in the
stockade there and worked alongside the
Filest and most degraded characters
AS such a statement would naturally be
looked upon as a reflection on the courts
ana the changing rules in all parts OF
the state ii Is hardly probable that such
a state Of affairs as is depicted by once
A Weeks Atlanta correspondent exists
in that city. The authorities there can
not have such an utter disregard Of HUI
mainly as 10 chain children from seven
TO sixteen years old TO men of the vilest,
most loathsome description
In justice to Savannah and Chatham
county the methods pursued with regard
70 SUCH cases Is stated herewith. The
children who are before the re-
ordinances are, as a rule, turned over to
their parents to be corrected by a spank
ing. In many instances where the ex-
IRENE youth of a prisoner excuses him.
he is discharged altogether and no punish
ment is required
In misdemeanor cases which come up
in the city court similar methods are pur-
sued. No child under ten years old is
given any punishment unless 1t be cor
rection by parents which the court may
require. Very few from ten to sixteen
years old are ever punished by confn-
ment unless their cases are of such
hagrant nature that some course Is nee
essary. Judge MacDonell in such ex
IRENE cases always gives directions that
they are to be placed on the county poor
farm where the women are worked. but
they are kept in quarters to themselves.
They are not allowed to associate with the
men at all. and are only
ing hours and under strict guard.
The Older boys, from seventeen to eigh-
teen, are usually put to carrying water
for the gangs, while under these ages they
are kept to themselves on the poor farm.
In some cases confinement in Jail is pre-
scribed as punishment, and while con-
find there the younger criminals are
kept separate from the older convicts and

A HEARING ON MAY 10.
Judge Pardee to Hear the Question of
the Confirmation of His Order.

Judge Pardee to Hear the Question of
the Confirmation of His Order.
There will be a hearing before Judge
Don A. Pardee at New Orleans on May Is
upon the question of the confirmation of
the order recently granted by him on ap-
plication of the receivers of the Central
railroad asking permission to borrow
money on thirty days call for the pur-
pose of paying of the floating debt.
Full notice of this order, ana the fact
that application would be made for it's
confirmation was given 10 all parties at
interest, and ii seems that objections to
" will be made by some of the creditors
Savannah and Western people Just
what the nature of their objection is has
not been learned.
The order as granted about two weeks
ago save Receiver Conner and Hays per-
mission TO borrow about S.. 600 900 OH thirty
days call. or whatever part of that amount
they might see fit TO borrow, for the pur-
pose of paying off either the whole or a
part of the floating debt and taking up
the collateral which viii be pledged with
those who lend the money on the strength
of this order. While the quest on comes
up on the confirmation of this order IL is
thought a great deal will depend upon it,
1t is one of the stepping stones of the re-
organization as nothing can be done until
satisfactory arrangements are made with
the holders of the floating debt Some of
them seem to have been getting impa-
tient and have once or twice Threatened
due was paid The arrangements for
floating debt is one of the most impor-
tant features in connection with reorgan-
ization. and as soon as this Is done 1t is
thought something will be heard from the
plan, which is rumored to be still under
consideration.

The Scope of the Chess Club Enlarged
to Include These Games.

The Scope of the Chess Club Enlarged
to Include These Games.
The third annual meeting of the Savan-
nah Chess Club, now the Savannah Chess
Checkers and Whist Club. was held last
night at the rooms of the club, over the
postofiice. The meeting was an impor-
tant one, on account of the changes made
in the constitution, by which new features
have been added.
After the reading of the reports of the
secretary and treasurer, which were
adopted and the thanks of the club ten
tered him for his services, the meeting
took up the consideration of the proposed
changes in the constitution. There have
been good many who desired to Join
the club, but who have been fanciers of
whist or checkers. rather than of chess.
For this reason the matter of charging
the scope of the club so as to include these
games has been under consideration for
some time. The members unanimOuslv
voted TO change the name of the club to
the Savannah Chess, Checkers and Whist
Club, and full arrangements have been
made to include these new features. Sew
eral other changes of minor Importance
were made in the constitution.
The old board of officers was reelected
for the. ensuing year, as follows
President. NJ Palm.
Vice President-R. J. Mum. NJ. D.
Secretary and Treasurer-A. F. X.
Muslin.
Ger. A. L. Hartridge, Thomas Dykes and
George w. Drummond, in addition to the
three executive officers.
1t has been decided to hang out a sign
from the rooms with the name of the
club upon it. The new features of the
club are expected to attract quite num-
Der of new members who are interested in
these games. Strangers visiting the city
who are interested in chess checkers OF
whist are invited TO visit the club rooms
which are at all times kept bright and at
tractive and which furnish every facility
for playing the games mentioned.

MIR. LANIER's TRIAL TODAY.
The Drug store Case 10 Come Up for
Hearing in the City Court.

The Drug store Case 20 Come Up for
"A Hearing in the City Court.
Mr.. jefferson Davis Lanier will be tried
in the city court this morning on the
charge Of cheating and swindling prefer
red by Mr., ]. II, Won Valzah.
Mr.. Won Valzah bought a stock of drugs
from Mr.. Lanier last February, giving
him in payment notes of other parties
which he held to the amount of about
1880. Mr. Won Nalzah made the claim
that there was not half the amount Of
drugs in the place that he thought was
there at the time of the purchase, and
he says some of the bottles supposed to
contain drugs had nothing more in them
than colored water.
Mr.. Lanier contends that Mr.. Won
Nalzah was fully aware of the condition
OF the stock a the time of the purchase.
that he was allowed to inspect 1t fully,
and that at the latter's request he reduc-
cd the price of the stock so as to allow
Mr.. Won Valzah TO purchase $500 worth of
drugs.
The case will no doubt be an interesting
one as Mr.. Lanier is well known in Savan-
nah where he practiced dentistry for a
number of years
