vANDERBILT's ORDER FOR SAND.
Dozen Barrels Sent Him at 80 Cents
and $3.50 Each ExpreSsnge.

A Dozen Barrels Sent Him at so Cents
and $3.50 Each Expressnge.
Bond, Harrison & Co. of this city re-
ceived an order yesterday for one dozen
barrels of sand. The order was from
George w. Vanderbilt. The sand was or
dered shipped by express at once to Mr..
Vanderbilts place at Bitmore, N. c.
The order was received in the morning
and by noon the sand had been delivered
to the express company. The price of the
sand was so cents a barrel, and the ex-
press was $3.50 per barrel. What Mr.. Van
derbilt wants with the sand why he
should send so far for it and why he should
have ordered it expressed are all subjects
for speculation. Sand is supposed to be
plentiful in the neighborhood of Mr.. Van
derbilt's North Carolina palace and there
are no peculiar qualities in Savannah
sand so far as known here. If there are
any Mr.. Vanderbilt would confer great
favor upon the people of this locality by
informing them of this fact at once. There
is plenty of sand here. Tybee a.one could
supply enough to bury Biltmore palace
out OF sight.
The only reasonable theory on the sub
| ject advanced is that Mr. Vanderbilt has
dedicated spot upon his beautiful grounds
| to Savannah and desires to mark 1t with
sand from this locality. Sand is a rare
| shipment with the express, but Mr.. Van.
| derbilt is a rich man and could afford to
order few carloads at the regular rates

THE SUPREME COURT ELECTION.
Ii is All One-sided and There VIII
Hardly BE Very Big Vote.

Hardly Be Very Big Vote.
All the necessary arrangements for the
election for justices of the supreme court.
to be held to-day, were made at the court
house yesterday.
Justice Waring Russell, Jr., manager
at the box for the four city districts, who
will be the superintendent Of the election,
requests all of the managers and clerks
to be on hand this morning promptly at
$50 o'clock, as the polls will have to be
opened shortly thereafter. The box for
the four city districts will be located in
the county attorneys Office facing on Bull
street, and a this box all voters residing
in the city will cast heir ballots. The
box for the four country districts Will be
located in the tax receivers office facing
on President street. The stands for the
boxes were put up yesterday afternoon,
and all necessary arrangements were made
for beginning the voting bright and early
this morning.
There being no contest there is very lit
tie interest manifested in the election, and
il Is estimated by those who have given
the matter some consideration that there
will not be more than 1000 votes polled
at the outside. There are a great many
voters, however who pass the court house
two or three times a day and it may be
that good number of them will take
enough interest in the matter to go over
and put in a vote, as il will not require
them to go out of their way. But in an
entirely one-sided election like this, 1t is
very seldom that much of vote turns
out. However, il would not be amiss for
all the voters who can possibly do so to
put in a ballot and show the state that
Chatham is still the banner democratic
county of the state

sAvANNAH's NEW MINISTER.
Rev. j. Il. Ryder Succeeds Rev. j. VI.
LOvett Mt Grace Church.


LOvett Mt Grace Church.
Rev. ]. T. Ryders appointment to sue
coed Rev. ]. NJ. Lovett of Grace church
is the only change among the Savannah
pastors made by the South Georgia con-
ference
The pastors of all the Savannah
churches have returned from Valdosta.
Mr.. Ryder's appointment to the pastorate
of Grace church is warmly welcomed,
though the departure of Rev. ]. NJ. Low
EFT. who has been transferred to the
churches at Lumber City and McRae,
is regretted, as he is highly esteemed by
his fellow ministers, by his congregation
and the people of the city, both as a
minister and a citizen.
Mr.. Ryder is known as a preacher Of
much power, and his pleasing personal
ity adds much to the success of his minis
terial work. He is a young man of 81
years, the son-in-law of Mr.. c. d. Rogers
of Guyton and the brother-in-law of Mr..
j. M. Rogers of this city He has been
in the South Georgia conference about
ten years. Perry is the place he leaves
to take charge of Grace church.
Another appointment of the conference
that has given universal satisfaction, is
that OF Rev. G. G.. N. MacDonell to the
presiding eldership of the Savannah dis
trict, in which he is widely known, both on
account of his having been pastor of Trim
ity and Wesley churches, and his having
before filled the position to which he was
appointed.
The return of Rev. A. NJ. Williams to
Wesley, of Rev. J. H. Scruggs to Trinity
and of Rev. e. F. Morgan to Marvin, is
source of qualification to the ministers
themselves, to whom their Savannah
charges are greatly endeared, and to the
congregations of their respective churches
Mr.. S. B. Adams, as chairman of COM
mittee, consisting of himself and Messrs
c. H. Dorset, c. H. Carson, r. B. Rep
pard and Clement Saussy, extended the
conference an invitation to hold it's next
annual meeting at Savannah. Other invi-
tations were etended by Thomasville and
Hawkinsville, but, after a close vote the
invitation of the Savannah committee was
accepted unanimously

THE MAYOR AND HIS COMMITTEE,
They Are EIated over the Commits
siOns' Fight.

Mayor Myers and Aldermen Screven and
Tiedeman returned yesterday morning
from Atlanta, where they appeared Mon
day before the corporations committee of
the Senate, in opposition to the bill re-
pealing the act creating the commissioner
of public works. They were notified by
kilograms that the bill had been adversely
reported by the committee. While very
pleasant news, it was no surprise to Mayor
Myers and Messrs. Tiedeman and Screven,
because 1t was what they had been led to
anticipated before leaving Atlanta. In fact,
even before their departure from Savan-
nah they were confident that this would be
the result. Senator Geiger had assured
them that the bills would not pass the
Senate, and they felt that this assurance
could be relied upon.
The defeat OF the bill against the pubic
works commissioner is generally accepted
by both sides as putting end for the
present to any further efforts to pass the
commission repeal bills now before the
House. All the office holders under the
commissions now feel sure OF their Jobs
until next summer any way and they and
their friends and the supporters of the ad-
ministration generally are greatly elated
over the result
The fight between the two factions
has centered recently almost en-
tirely upon the commissions. their repeal
or retention. The Citizens Club men have
had double incentive 70 oppose the repeal
OF the commissions. Their jobs We're i'm
jeopardy, and they had sort of creepy
feeling around the backbone that if the
Jobs were put In the balance the Liberals
would probably walk away with them IN
January, and they would be bereft OF both
Jobs and political control. Now they are
more confident.

complaint against the gold standard.
The wage-earners have been injured
by gold standard, and have express
ed themselves upon the subject with
great emphasis. In February, 1895, a
petition asking for the immediate res
toration of the free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at 1G to was
signed by the representatives of all, or
nearly all, the leading labor organiza-
tions and presented to congress. Wage
carriers knew that while a gold stand
ard raises the purchasing power of the
dollar it also makes it more difficult to
obtain possession of the dollar; they
knew that employment is less perma-
nent, loss of work more probable, and
unemployment less certain. A gold
standard encourages the boarding of
money, because money is rising; it also
discourages enterprises and paralizes
industry. On the other hand, the res
toration of bimetallism will discourage
boarding, because, when prices are
steady or rising, money can not afford
to lie in the bank vaults. The farmers
and wage-earners together constitute
a considerable majority of the people
of the country. Why should their in
terests be ignored in considering finan-
cial legislation? A monetary system
which is pecuniarily advantageous to n
few syndicates has far less to commend
it than a system which would give
hope and encouragement to those who
create the nations wealth.

The Country Again in Peril.

The following is the address sent TO
the veterans of the late war and to
which Colonel Gingers frey reply,
found elsewhere on this page, is made:
Comrades: Your country is again
in peril. In the present presidential
campaign, dangerous combinations
again threaten the integrity of the
government.
misguided men conspire to bring
reputation, dishonor and financial ruin
upon this nation, only saved by your
valor. Should this dangerous and rev.
dictionary conspiracy against the fnan-
cial honor and integrity of the govern
ment meet with success, every pension
er, every depositor in savings bank,
every policy holder in insurance
company, etc, would lose one half of
what is due him, by being paid in so
cent dollars, The price of everything
the workingman buys would be doub-
led, but he would haye to struggle and
wait longer before he secured any sub
stantial increase in his wages. We APP
peal to you to lay aside all partisan
differences, to prefer country to party,
now, as you did in the dark days of the
civil war, and rally to the support of
our gallant comrade, Major Mckinley,
the first private soldier who has ever
been nominated to the high Office of
president of the United States, who
stood shoulder to shoulder with you in
many memorable battle and for two
long years carried his musliet, and
shared the lot and dangers which fell
to the lot of the men in the ranks, who
defended the union and who to-day
stands for the maintenance of the
good name and honor of the party.
Therefore, we urge you to form
yourselves into an association to be
known as The Union Veterans Patriot
ic League and do all in your power as
individuals and members of the league
to secure the triumph of the right"
