MERCURY DOWN A PEG.

First Day in Two Weeks the Maxi
mum Has Been Below 30 Degrees.
There was a decided drop in tempera-
ture yesterday. From 81 degrees the day
before the maximum went to IS degrees
yesterday afternoon. For the first time
since July p, the maximum was below 80
degrees. The day was comfortable COM
pared with any day during the past two
weeks. There was a breeze during most
of the day. and last night was more en-,
durable.
The long spell of hot weather has had
a depressing effect on both people and
business. Work on the wharves and at
the railroad yards, has been little more
than at standstill some of the time
People and animals have suffered alike
from the effects of the heat, and the
mortality has been greater on account Of
it. The weather bureau forecast at mid
night was about stationary temperature
for to-day.

day, as she stood on the bow OF Capt W.
T. Gabson's new Savannah river steamer
and broke a bottle OF Mumm's extra dry,
while the boat slid gracefully into the
river.
The launching took place at Purysburg,
at O'Clock. A large party Of ladies' and
gentlemen from Vaudeville were present
and Capt. Gibson did the entertaining on
the occasion. All sorts Of nice things to
eat and drink were spread before the
guests, and Purysburg has seldom had
such a gala day.
The boat is named after Maj. W. s. Cook,
one of the most enterprising river steam
boat men IN the south. He resides at Fay
etteville, n. c., and IS financially interest
ed in the boats on the Cape Fear and Sa-
vannah as well as other rivers in the

are plying between Savannah and Au-
gusta, draw thirty inches when light.
The Cook sits beautifully upon the wa

MAY NOTIFY THEM TO-DAY.
Resolutions to BE Sent to the Pri-
mary Legislative Candidates.

The committee appointed by the prima.
~ executive committee. composed Of
Messrs. John l.. Archer, Geo. W. Parish
and Geo. w. Wylly Jr., has not yet no.
tilted the legislative candidates chosen at
the primary of the action Of the commit
tee with regard to the sense OF the COM
mittee that each candidate should sup
port the national and state democratic
tickets and platform.
1t is probable however. that the COM
mittee win to-day forward to each Of the
candidates copies OF the resolutions
adopted and as published in yesterdays
Morning News, and ask each of them
what they intend to do about 1t. Then
II will be with the candidates to reply
as to their intentions in the matter. There
is no doubt that Messrs. w w. Gordon,
Jr., and Henry Kolshorn will give their
Endorsement to the state and national
tickets in accordance with the sense of
the committee, but what Mr.. l. b. Tiede-
man who leads the ticket, will do, remains
to be seen.
Members of the committee say it is not
Mr.. Tiedeman's opposition to silver they
are opposed to. but the out and out state
ment from a man who is a democratic
nominee that ne intends to vote for Me
kinley the republican nominee for PresI-
dent. Under the resolutions adopted by
the executive committee one Of them
said he did not see how Mr.. Tiedeman
could do otherwise than indorse the state
and national candidates or get off the tick
ct. They say Mr.. Tedeman's position
differs widely from Mr.. duBignon's in
that the latter, while opposed to the free
silver declaration of the platform, viii
lend his every effort to the success Of
the national and state tickets for the sue
cess Of the party which Ii is his duty and
the duty of every other democrat to earn
est1y support. Mr.. Tiedeman's answer to
the committees pointed interrogat tory

Mr.. H. H. Morgan was tried in the SUI
perior court yesterday on a charge OF

charged that on Jan 20 he had a pistol
concealed on his person. from which he
fired a shot at Mr.. George W. Grower
at Pooler

assault with intent 20 murder the grand
jury found no bill, but returned a true
bill for carrying concealed weapons.
There was considerable conflict in the
evidence, some Of the witnesses stating
he had 1t in his right hand pocket con-
cealed and others that it was in his left
hand pocket exposed. The jury found 1t
impossible to agree, and after being out
about five hours mistrial was declared.
When the jury came down, Judge Fall
ilgant asked the question as to whether
Il was possible for them to agree. The
foreman answered it was not.

you up there tonight. What do you think
The cots are all broken up, judge"
another of the Jurors said, jumping to his
feet, and, besides, they are fun of bugs"
mistrial was declared, and as a COM
mtttee from the grand jury happened to
be in the court house at the time, on an
inspecting tour, it's attention was called
to the bugs in particular and the cots in
general. The bugs will no doubt be heard
from in the grand jury's general pre-
sentiments.

FOR THE COLORED RACE.
The American Club Says 1t Is Not an
A. p. A. Society.

The American Club Says 1t Is Not an
A. p. A. Society.
The American Colored Club is a new or
ganization among the colored people. The
purposes, as stated in it's constitution,
are Ito advance the colored race to help
each other in trouble, TO uphold American
principles and to uphold the constitution
of the United States, and not be controll-
ed by any political party that is not in
favor of the colored race
The club claims to have a mem bership
of 300. What is worrying it now is the
claim that it is an A. P. A. club This
the leaders emphatically deny. They say
the club is in the interest of the colored
race and it could not be an A. P A. or
ganization and fulfill its purposes The
plan of the clubs government is rather
unusual. The officers are perpetual. They
hold office during good behavior, being
elected for no stated term.
The president of the society is Lemuel
Wade, and the vice president Thomas
Rhett.

western Settlers Pleased with
Their Southern Homes.


Their Southern Homes.
Mr.. W. II. Martin. general manager of
the International Homestead Company,
passed through Savannah day or two
ago after having made an extended trip
throughout the northwestern states. He
says that the reports sent back to that
section by the colonists that have sought
and established southern homes will in
duce many more to settle in the south dur
ing the fall and winter.
Mr.. Martin has already settled a
great many colon.sts in the re-
gion of West Florida, having
acted for the Plant system. Mr.. Plant Is
interested largely in some of the best
lands in that portion of the state and 1t is
his desire to see them populated by a
thrifty and industrious class of husband
men. Locating colonies, as the work is Of
ten done, does not appeal to sections in
which they are placed, but it is primarily
the object of the promot ers of these plans
to draw the best class of people.
