FEARED FoR THEIR FAMILIES.
Anxiety Caused by a Delay on the
Tybee Train.

Tybee Train.
Considerable alarm was caused last
night by the failure of the Tybee railroad
train, due at o'clock, to arrive on time.
A number of ladies and children had
gone to the island to spend the day, while
the husbands and fathers remained in the
city to participate in the election. The
reason for the alarm was that no infor-
nation could be got of the reasons for
the non-arrival of the train. Several gen.
tlemen, whose families had gone down to
the island for the day, arranged to secure
an engine and go down in search of them.
The train arrived at 1890 o'clock, how
ever, with all safe.
The cause of the delay was that the en-
CINE ran off the track on the down trip in
front of the Naylor house. The relatives
and friends who had gone to the island
were greatly relieved by its arrival in the
city.

QUIET DAY F0R THE POLICE.
The Blue Coats Had Little to Do AT
the Polls.

Only seven arrests were made by the
police yesterday and last night. This is
rather remarkable for an election day in
Savannah. Although the police were not
called on for serious work at the polls
they were ready If necessary. A squad OF
16 men in charge of Sergeants Killowby
and Lingg were at the court house all
day.
The crowd was so well behaved that the
squad was divided into two reliefs of eight
men, each doing duty alternately. The po-
lice were out in their new winter uniforms
and looked WELL

Bryan's plurality over Mckinley, S04;
Bryan's majority over all tickets. 14s
This was practically what was expected
by the business men and the sound money
element. 1t was stated some time ago
that Chatham county would give McKin-
ley large vote. and that is what the
county has done. There were only 1900
negro votes registered, so 1t will be seen
that Mckinley was given a large white
vote, comparatively speaking, and the
man who voted for the republican candi-
date was not alone in his glory by any
means.
The Palmer-Buckner ticket did not run
as well as might have been expected. 1t
appears that many of those who would
have voted for Palmer and Buckner came
to the conclusion that 1t was best to put
in a vote for Mckinley, for the principle
of the thing.
With the congressional race, however,
it was an entirely different thing. Col.
Rufus E. Lester got a good vote on &C
count of his personal popularity and the
work he has done for Chatham county
and his district. Many of those who vo-
ted the national republican and Palmer
Buckner tickets cast their ballots for Col.
Lester, and that accounts for the fact
that his vote ran so much ahead of that
of the democratic candidate for Presi-
dent
Besides the republicans and the national
democrats of Chatham county believe that
Col. Lester will stand by the wishes of
his constituents. AS expressed by a
prominent Palmer-Buckner leader some
time ago, and published in the Morning
News, "Col Lester is probably for either
gold or silver, according to the majority in
the house." The vote for congressman in
Chatham county by district was as fol.

COTTON SEIZED AND SOLD.
Twelve Million Dollars in tho Ma
tional Treasury Belonging to Pri-
vate Citizens.


tfonal Treasury Belonging to Pri-
vate Citizens.
Twelve million dollars are in the
treasury awaiting the claims of right
M owners-men whose cotton was
seized after the war. The prosecution
OF these claims is barred by u statute
OF limitations specially passed, and one
OF the measures that was prepared but
not pressed ut the present session of
Congress was u bill for the repeal of
tho limitation act. Three New York
crs, ono said to be the largest cotton
broker in tho world, are back of the
scheme, and will press it at the next
session OF Congress.
After the close of actual hOstilities
in 1865 cotton was seized throughout
the South and sold. Secretary Chase
was doubtful of the right Of the govern
ment to do this, and the ST me doubt
ranklcd in the mind OF William E.
Chandler, at that time acting sccrc-
tary OF the trcasury'and now u Senator
from New Hampshire. The doubt was
50 strong in MIR. Chandler's mind that
he would not use tho proceeds OF tho
sale, but organized u division in the
treasury department which he called
The " Division OF Abandoned Propertv
and Lands" which is still in existence.
Hc then turned all Of tho proceeds of
seized property consisting of about
80, 900 bales OF cotton, great quantities
o. tobacco, sugar and rice, together
with some turpentine, tar and rosins,
over to William l.. Nocrr, chief of the
new division.
In 1874 Gozaway b. Lamar, u high
Official in the Now York Bank of Com
mcrcc, Il Georgian by birth and u com
mission merchant, retained the late
General Benjamin T.. Butler and ex-
Attorney-Gcneral George II. Williams
as his counsel in suit against the
United States to recover $60O,OOO, the
proceeds Of tho sale of cotton taken by
United States troops. When Lamar
secured his verdict OF 5000, 600, Robert
q. Schcnck, Of Ohio, late Minister to
tho Court OF st. James, was chairman
OF the committee on ways and means.
Believing that Il raid would be made
on the treasury by holders of claims, he
introduced II bill creating q statute of
limitations, thus barring tho prosecu-
tlon OF this class of claims.
In this way the money has remained
IN the treasury. 1t has been invested
IN the United States bonds, and now
amounts to tho enormous sum OF
$1,000, 600. Outside of four or five
Southern Senators, it is doubtful If
any one knows the true situation.
Tho Legislation which the Now York
syndicate wants passed is very simple.
1T consists of five line resolution re-
pcallng tho statute of limitations
against these claims, and allowing
them to be sent to tho United States
Courto OF claims for adjudication.

THE FAMOUS DARK DAY.
May 10, 1880, Was IL Notable Day In
New England.

The FOL lowing account Of great
mystery ir New England will prove
interesting
| Old letters Of that time mako men
lion OF strange atmospheric conditions
several days before the dark day. The
sun was clouded and the air close, with
peculiar vapors floating above the
earth. The sun and moon rose and set
in u dull and uncertain light, ard many
predicted volcanic eruptions.
| The records OF that time say that on
Friday morning, May 10, tho air was
heavier than at any time previous,
anu about nine o'clock sheets of yaDor
began rising from springs and low
lands, forming clouds that rose above
the hills. Cloud after cloud rose and
rolled away to westward, and still tho
air grow donscr and gray darkness in
creased. The higher the sun rose the
less light seemed to reach the earth.
ana before noon the darkness was so
great that people were obliged to light
candles in their houses.
Churchcs and meeting houses were
opened, and ministers an dcacons went
with lighted lanterns to conduct rolip-
ious services. Also in MANY placcs.
neighborhood prayer meetings were
held.
1T must be remembered that our coup-
CIy aI Inls Ilmc, 1850, was passing
through great peril. Those of YOU &C.
quaintcd with American history will
remember that tho Revolutionary
War was in progress, and those un-
decided in opinion regarding separa-
tlon OF tho colonies from the British
Government believed that the terrible
darkness was q communi ication from
the Lord, IL warning that separation
should not take place.
Cattle feeding in pastures jumped
fences to get home. Fowls roasted
thinking that night was upon them
Children went to school, but ran home
cropping their way in the strange
darkness.
Neither science nor superstition has
read the mystery. Hersche saws !:
'Ihc dark day in Northern America
was one OF the remarkable phenomena
of nature that will ever be read with
interest, but which philosophy is at u
| loss to explain"
But all passed away for never did
the sun shine more brightly than on
the morning OF May 20. The birds
sang; all nature reioiced Cattle re-
turned to the pastures, men to their
lubors, and many were the thanksgiv-
ings offered that the Lord in his good
ness had spared tho people.
