Quarantine Is for the safety of the
whole city" he concludes. 1T is for the
merchants, mechanics and for the labor
ing classes, who depend on their daily
labor for their living; people who are un-
able to leave the city should an epidemic
OF yellow fever come upon us; these are
the people for whom quarantine regula-
lions are made. The board OF sanitary
commissioners Of this city has always
legislated with this object in
view. Since my incumbency in
this Office the sanitary board
has always lessened restrictions to com
merce whenever it has been able to give
the desired relief without endangering the
health of the city. 1t is useless to call at
tention to the personnel of the board as 1t
existed and exists since 1877. 1t has al

AWAITING A DECISION.
what Mr.. whitfield Says About the
DauntIess Case.


Hon. Boiling Whitfield of Brunswick,
attorney for the Spanish government, who,
as stated in the Morning News, is in the
city in consultation with the Spanish con-
sui, was seen yesterday and asked as to
the status of the Dauntless affair.
Mr.. Whitfield was not inclined to dis
cuss the matter to any extent, I'm fact"
he stated, there is very little to be said
except what has already been published.
The men who went on the Dauntless and
the tug itself are under nominal bonds
pending the decision of the government as
to the case. The evidence was taken ex
parte, and we had nothing whatever to
do with It. That evidence has been sub
mitted and a decision is now being await
ed"
1t was intimated that Mr.. Whitfelds
intention was to take some stringent
measures with regard to the expedition,
or those interested, but he as much as
stated that he had no such plans in view.
Mr.. Whitfield said the Spanish govern
ment had claims against the United States
for the damage done through filibustering
expeditions, and tHat the object was to
get evidence to include this expedition in
with the others. He did not much credit
the story that the Incas of Brunswick was
to go on a flibustering expedition.

AT THE THEATER.
"Jim, the Penman" Tonight and
Twelve Temptations Next"

"Jim, the Penman" Tonight and
Twelve Temptations Next"
Jim. the Penman" will be the attrac-
ton at the theater tonight, with Mr..
Frank c. Bangs in the leading role. The
piece is one of the dramas of the day,
and is well known to theater-goers. 1t
is one of dramatic incidents of the most
intense and absorbing character. 1t is
society drama, the characters being
drawn from London's fashionable society
scions and nobility.
The presenting company is said to be
exceedingly strong. The sale of seats has
been very good. and good house is ex-
pected.
The Columbia, s. c., State OF yesterday
has this to say of the piece:
The dramatic season opened in Column
bia last night, with Jim, the Penman,"
and Mr. F. c. Bangs, the great actor, in
the title role
The intense interest in the primary cleo
ton made all classes of people in the city
forget almost everything else and for
that reason the audience was not near so
large as otherwise it would have been
But there was fair-sized house never
theless, and those who attended saw as
fine dramatic performance as their
hearts could wish
The play of Jim, the Penman," has,
since its first presentation. been a popu-
lar one, but with an artist like Bangs
playing the leading role this popularity
bids fair to grow to still larger proper
tons.
The play last night was given in the
most finished and artistic manner and de-
lighted TO the fullest extent every one who
saw it. While Bangs was the bright par
ticular star, he was by no means the only
attraction. The whole company is made
up of splendid talent and the support Civ
en- Bangs could hardly have been improv-
ed upon Harry Eytinge as Baron Hunt
field" Henry Bangs as Louis Percival.
Edward Emery as Capt Redwood" and
Marie Rice as Mrs. Ralston," deserve
full praise for their elegant work In fact
without such support as was extended
him, Mr. Bangs could not have given so
superb a presentation of the play.
Yale's Twelve Temptations" with all
its glittering spectaeles will be at the
theater Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee. The spectacular is one
of the best on the road and always plays
to good business.
Several new and startling specialties
will be introduced. Among these are the
grand ballots. The Four Seasons" and
The National Trio Issues" "The Reign
ing Female Fads" introducing the Com
ing Women" and the "Going Men," are
said to be tremendously funny. Several
new and catchy songs viii be sung by
popular artists. The company is a large
and efficient one Gus Bruno, Jr., of
Devils Auction fame will be in the chief
role.
The costumes are elegant and rich. The

Savannah may not have any circus this
winter. At a meeting Of the city council
last night petition was received from
Sells Bros, the great showmen, urging a

for each day, and asking that the license
be fixed at 500.

petition and the license remains at $500

Alderman Falligant introduced an ord
nance making it unlawful for owners OF
lands on the Bilbo canal to use such lands
for pasturage. unless fenced off from the
canal.
Alderman Falligant said that he consid-
cred the ordinance as especially important
at this season because of the danger to
health by reason of the pollution of the
milk of cows drinking water from the
canal. The ordinance was read a second
time by request of Alderman Falligant,
and laid on the table.
An ordinance permitting Charles A.

HOLDING BACK $4,000.
Thomas & Ryan Refuse to Pay the
Tybee Road Receivers Certificates.

Thomas 4 Ryan Refuse to Pay the
Tybee Road Receivers Certificates.
1t appears that Messrs. Thomas and
Ryan, the purchasers of the Central
railroad and of the Savannah and At
lantic, sor Tybee railroad, which is now a
part of the system, have refused to pay
the receivers certificates issued for re-
building the property. after the August
storm of 1893.
These certificates amount TO $40, 600. They
were made the first lien on the property
by decree of the court, and under the re-
organization agreement they were to have
been paid off in cash. 1t is that cash
which is not forthcoming. Mr.. William
Kehoe who was largely interested in the
Tybee railroad and who was a large
holder of the receivers certificates, re-
ceived a telegram from the Mechanics
National Bank of New York yesterday
stating that Messrs. Thomas and Ryan
had refused payment and that the Sc
curities could not be sent to Savannah.
The owners OF the certificates here,
among whom are Messrs. ]. J. McDon-
ough, William Kehoe, Herman Myers,
John G. Butler. are at a loss to know why
the purchasers of the road refuse to pay
the amount. After they turned the prop
erty over to the new company, and after
the recelvership affairs were practically
wound up, Messrs Thomas and Ryan
agreed to assume all the liabilities OF tRs
receivership, and this was one of them
The cash should have been paid over ac-
cording to the agreement several days ago,
and those interested are going to see why
it was not done. II is said Judge Speer
will be here tomorrow, when the parties
interested will appear before him and en-
deavor to secure an order to compel the
payment of the certificates The refusal
was a surprise to them, especially in view
of the fact that all other terms of the
agreement have been fully carried out.

Dose of Sugar of MIL.
Mr. A. B. Persse, druggist at West
Broad and Bryan streets. was considera-
ago, when negro woman rushed into his
store and proclaimed in dramatic tones
that she was tired of life and wanted ten
cents worth ofRnything to put an end to
an existence that had become burden and
a thorn crown to her.
1t was the old story of conjugal intellect
ty. The little god, usually depicted as
whispering in a maidens ear or sinking his
tiny shaft in the heart of the susceptible
youth, no longer held his sway as in the
days of old. Jealousy, whiskey and what
not had interposed to kill the memories of
the time when Mary and her honored lord
had been made as one, till wearied of life
and seeking its antidote, she wanted to
tear the veil OF. the beyond and try for the
happiness that she found not
Mr.. Persse asked if she We're in earnest,
and Mary said she was, that the mortal
coil had become irksome and she wanted
to shake it. He thought he might as well
humor her in her distress so he gave her
a dose of sugar Of milk, which she took in
the store under the impression that it was
strychnine, and went home to die.
The druggist told her that she might
keep the dime to leave to her heirs, but as
her will has not yet been probated, or the
coroner notified of her death, it is safe to
presume that in waiting for the death that
did not come, Mary had an opportunity to

Increase OF Tariff Rates.

NEW York, Nov. 11.-Senator John
Sherman of Ohio. in an interview to-
day, said it will be necessary for Con.
gress to pass tariff measure at once.
1.-THE Dingley bill," he said, with
SONS changes, will do for the present.
The Democrats made a great mistake
in not permitting that bill to pass in
the last Congress. 1t was only tenn
porary measure intended to raise the
revenue that the government absolute.
ly needed, and if the Democrats had
let it go through there would have
been no necessity for bond issues and
the Democratic administration would
have escaped greatdeal of the censures
and criticism that was heaped upon it.
Il doubt" the Senator continued,
eff the Democrats in the Senate will
oppose the bill. I think they, like the
silver Senators, would not oDstruct
legislation. understand all the silv-
er men except Teller and Dubois are
opposed to a policy of obstruction. If
the Dingley bill is passed at the COM
ing session of Congress there will be
no necessity for an extraordinary ses-
sion after March 4. Considering ev-
erything, I think that the outlook for
the passage of the bill if bright"

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 1O.-The
arbitration of the Venezuela dispute is
settled fairly. All arrangements have
heen completed and all details Of the
arbitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain arranged.
The final terms of treaty of arbitra-
ton were arranged in this city last
night, cabled to London today and
have been accepted. The treaty covers
Venezuela only and does not include
general treaty of arbitration. The
Venezuelan arbitration commission
will consist of five arbitrators, two TO
be named by the United States, two
by Great Britain and these four to Sc
lect a fifth. The term of occupancy
necessary to exempt the British set
tied in the disputed territory from ar
bitration, is fixed at sixty years. In
other words the British government
has agreed to the unrestrained arbitra-
ton of all territory in dispute with .
period for acquisition of title by pre-
scription fixed by agreement of parties
in advance at sixty years.

Teller Is Cautious.

DENVER, Col, Nov. lit would
be very impolitic for us to show our
hands now and make our intent plain
to the opposition" said Senator Teller
when asked if it would be possible to
pass a tariff bill through the coming
Senate without silver rider. IL have
received several kilograms from the
Eastern press requesting an answer to
that same question" the Senator con-
tinued, "but I have refrained from
making a definite reply. Speaking
for myself, can say frankly that
have not as yet made up my mind re.
garding the comparative strength OF
the parties in the Senate. When the
silver forces meet at the convening OF
Congress I anticipate that a caucus
will develop plan. No, the Repub,
licans will not urge or push tariff
bill when Congress opens. 1t would
be useless, for in case such a bill
should be passed, President Cleveland
would veto it. If the Republicans are
sincere. however, as they assert they
are, a special session will be called
and the DINGHY tariff bill or some 9TH
er one will be passed, in case such a
thing is possible. I do not care to
talk of the plans of the silver forces
until am fully advised"
