alton in Session There-The Choice
of a Southern Port Through which
10 Direct Western Trade With
South America One of the Main Oh
jects of the Meeting-CaDt. Purse
Appointed by Mayor Myers to Rep
resent savannah at the Meeting.
Capt. d. G. Purse and AIr. r. F. Burdell

tant mission. He was appointed yester-
day by Mayor Myers a delegate to the first
annual meeting of the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers which convene in
Chicago Tuesday. Capt. Purse will only
spend a short while in Washington. He
will appear before the ways and means
committee in the morning, and at noon
win take the train for Chicago, which he
expects to reach at O'Clock Tuesday
morning in time to be present at the open
ing of the manufacturers convention.
The National Manufacturers Association
is a western organization which has for
its special purpose the extension Of west
ern trade with the south and with the
Central and South American countries.
The special object of the meeting in Chi
cago this week is to determine upon a sea-
port outlet for South American trade from
the west. This will necessarily be South
Atlantic or Gulf port preferably South
Atlantic port, hence the Importance of
Savannah being represented at the meet
Capt. Purse goes equipped with facts
and figures, showing the extent of Sa-
vannah's trade and her commercial I'M
pOrtance, her shipping ana her adNanl-
ages as a seaport outlet to the South
American trade. He has with him a map
showing Savannahs location and the dis
tances by rail and water to all important
trading points. There is no doubt that
Capt. Purse will exhaust every argument
in Savannah's behalf He carries with him
q number of the pamphlets, gotten out
by the citizens Industrial committee, Civ
ing information in a compact form of Sa-
vannah's industries and advantages.
Mayor Myers action in appointing Capt.
Purse was prompted by telegram from
Mr.. e. A. Ferguson of Cincinnati presi-
dent of the board of trustees of the Gin
cinnati Southern railway, reminding him
of the meeting of the manufacturers as
ISOLATION in Chicago and suggesting the
advisabiity of having a representative of
Savannah on hand prepared to demon
strate her advantages.
Mr.. Ferguson is one of earliest movers
in the matter of developing South Ameri-
can trade with the west through a south
ern seaport. He visited Savannah in COM
pany with other members of the board of
trustees about three months ago, with
this object in view. He became firmly
satisfied then that Savannah is the nat
ural outlet for the western trade with
| South America and endeavored to impress
| that view on all whom he met here. Sa-
vannah will find strong advocate in Mr..
| Ferguson.

OFF WENT THEIR HEADS.
suPt. Fitzgerald and Thirty-One 9th
ers Discharged by the Commits
siOner of Public Works.

The services Of thirty-tWO men IN the
employ Of the street and lane department
were dispensed with last night by Pub
lie Works Commissioner Willink.
For two weeks the employees OF the de-
partment have been anxiously awaiting
the action OF the commissioner. When he
took charge he expressed his intention OF
reducing the expenses Of the department
and doing away with all unnecessary en-
ployes. This was understood to mean, Of
course, that a good many employees would
nave 10 go. AS two weeks were allowed
10 pass. however, with no discharges, the
men who were in suspense began 10 , nope
that they would retain their places. Iney
were destined 10 disappointment.
During the two weeks IL seems tnat tne
commissioner has been quietly toOhlns
around and whetting his knife on the sole
OF his shoe in the between whites. The
knife was used yesterday for the hrst
time, and was used rapidly. As the result
thlrty-tWo heads rolled into the basket
Supt. John FITZGERALD Of the streets
and lanes department was the INST 10 go.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has performed the duties
OF this position for the last thirty-nFe
years, being first appointed in 1851 and
having served as foreman and superln-
tendent continuously ever since. Inc
city never had more faithful employe,
nor a more efficient one in his branch of
the work. This has been testified to time
and again by city officials who came IN
EOAAdEN VIII MN IN MS NDAh MI liz
gerald was notified night before last that
his services would be needed no longer
after last night. He considered twenty
four hours rather short notice TO a man
who has spent his life in the service of
the city and did not hesitate to make his
feelings known on the subject.
Besides Mr. Fitzgerald nineteen other
employees of the street and lane depart
ment We're notified that their services
would be no longer required. The names
Of the men discharged are as follows:
John G. Lynch, John Downing, Daniel
Healy, Andrew Cash, Robert Cassidy,
James Sullivan, Thomas Brennan, Pat
rick Downing, John Quinn. John Ryan,
Mat Fallon, Thomas Fowler, Thomas
Fleming, Patrick Kehoe, NJ. Kiley, Pat
Lovett, NJ A. Fahey, Pat Curry, John
Seully.
Twelve teamsters employed in the same
department were also discharged. They
are Ed Carr, Jed Barnes, Jim Wright,
Wylly Billings, John Smith, Ed Lynch, j.
Sneed, Jim Singleton David Mitchell, b.
Carter, all colored, and Thomas Ford and
John Coogan, white.
Many of the men who were discharged
years, and their discharge is a serious
thing to some of them The charge is be-
ing freely made by the discharged men
and their friends that their discharge was
due to political reasons, the cause being
that they did not vote the winning ticket
at the last election.
Commissioner Wilink when asked yes
terday by a Morning News reporter for
Information as to the changes in his de-
partment said he had no information to
give.

the constant increase of business. Go to

more popular, but Hicks doesn't intend

great big institution, where every man $

States Passenger Association has decided
on the rates that will be allowed for the
interstate military drill and rifle con-
test to be given by the military of Savan-
nah the latter part of April or the first of
May. Circulars announcing the rates

solid ticket a rate of one cent per mile
distance travelled, tickets to be sold May

early date to continue the arrangement
of their plans accordingly.

ing on the action of the railroads, and
now that it has been received, its work

LIBERTY BELL WON'T COME.
savannahians Disappointed in Not
Seeing 1t.

General regret has been expressed that
the itinerary of the liberty bell on its re-
turn to Philadelphia has been changed.
so that it will not come by Savannah
1t was expected that it would be brought
down by Macon, Savannah, and return
north via Charleston. but for some rea-
sons the Philadelphia people have de-
cided to change the route
1t is understood that the Central rail-
road agreed to transport the bell itself
free of cost, but stated a charge would
be made for the party accompanying it.
The Southern railway, on the other hand
agreed to take it back over its route direct
" from Atlanta, party and all free of cost.
This is understood to have been one of
the main reasons why the itinerary was
changed
This will disappoint a great many Sa-
vannahians whose city is essentially a
colonial one in many respects, and who
had a great desire to view the valuable
old relic. If the bell had come here it is
needless to say it would have been the
occasion of a right royal reception.
