] Chaves it appears did not owe taxes, as
he lived within that portion of the city
where residents were exempted for a GER
| tain period. AS the commission had or
| dered Chaves registered and Mr. Reynolds
refused, MIR. Cam endeavored to press
the charges of offensive partisanship.
Judge Norwood stated that the commits
sion had ordered three parties registered in
that precinct. Two of them had been reg
istered, he said, and one was refused. It
was directed that upon the registration of
these parties this rule be dismissed. They
were not all registered, Judge Norwood
said, and the charges therefore still hold.
Judge Norwood was upon the point Of say
ing the commission considered its direc-
tions. which are final in all these matters,
had been violated, when Mr.. O'Byrne stat
ed In behalf of Mr.. Reynolds that Chaves
came to the precinct before he had re-
ceived any notice whatever of the COM
missions action in the matter and he
turned him down on the statement made.
after the notice had been received, and
both of them were registered.
well, that circumstance makes the
case totally different one" Judge Nor
wood said. I'm view of that fact we will
take no action in the matter of removing
Mr.. Reynolds, but we want 1t understood
that the decisions of this commission
must necessarily be taken as final, and
those registrars who violate them render
themselves liable to be removed"
MIR. O'Byrne then submitted further evil
dence questioning Chaves' right to regis
ter, because Chaves could not give accu-
rate statements with regard to his age and
the date of his birth. The commission
overruled the objections made and direct
ed that ChaVes be registered.
Objection was made to hearing cases
against Registrars OBren and Constan-
tine, because they had not been served.
The objection was sustained, and the COM
mission adjourned until o'clock this
afternoon. Mr.. Hartridge asked the COM
mission to kindly give him an opening
to get in some of the Liberal Club friends,
and was informed that an effort would
be made to do so to-day.

ANXIOUS FOR THE NEWS.
The Commissions Fight the Topic
of the Street.

Ahc COIhmlSSAOHS tlSnt the TOp1c
of the Street.
The question asked everywhere on the
streets yesterday was "have you heard
any news from Atlanta?"
Towards night the desire to hear some
thing about the results of the appearance
of the committee of council before the cor
porations committee of the Senate became
acute and the lives of Morning News re-
porters were made burden by the num-
Der of requests for information made upon
Last night the Morning News office was
fairly besieged with requests for news
from the arena of strife. AS the Senate
committee did not begin its session until
late in the afternoon, and as the hearing
was a lengthy one, it was late when the
report was placed upon the wires. On this
account it was necessary to disappoint all
the anxious inquirers for this particular
piece of news.
1t is safe to say that the report from
Atlanta will be the first thing read by
the majority of the readers of the Morn
ing News in Savannah this morning.
Clerk of Council A N Manucy did not
accompany the committee to Atlanta, but
was at his post of duty at the city ex-
change yesterday, as usual. Mr.. Manucy
met the members of the committee at the
De Soto, however, and accompanied them
to the depot, and this gave the impression
that he had accompanied the party to At
lanta.

TURNED HIGHWAY THUG.
Ex-COnvict Bell Robbed a Woman
on His Way From the Gang.

EX-OOnVIcI belb ttODbeu ~ WOmah
on His Way From the Gang.
George E. Bell, colored, was arrested
yesterday for highway robbery.
Bell is a peculiar sort of fellow, who, if
he were not colored, might be termed &c
centric. He was given a short sentence
in police court the other day, and was
put to work around the police barracks.
He worked all right the first day, but at
night jumped the wall and escaped.
He returned to the barracks at o'clock
the next morning and reported for work.
He said that he knew the rules, and that
a man who worked all day was at liberty
to go out at night. He was sent out to
the gang to finish his sentence, where he
would not have the chance to interpret the
rules for himself.
Bell was released from the gang yester-
day and with Jake Smalls, another petty
offender who had just served out his time,
started to the city. On the White Bluff
road, just inside the city limits, they met
a negro woman with a market basket on
her arm filled with groceries. Bell seized
the groceries and also the woman's pocket
book, and started into the city in a hurry
Even Small, his companion, thought that
was unwarranted conduct, and hit Bell a
clip behind the ear before he got away.
The cry of thief" was raised and
Mounted officer Mitchell, who was nearby,
took up the chase and soon ran Bell down.
Technically Bells offense is highway rob-
berry, but being "nutty" he may be let down
on lighter charge.

Robbers Indicted, Pleaded Guilty
ana Sentenced in 30 Minutes.
Some quick justice was dealt to the
train robbers who broke open freight cars
on the Central railroad in Effingham coun-
ty, when the superior court Of that county
met yesterday.
Richard Morgan and Sam Moffat. two
negroes who were arrested by Detective
81 Basch on that charge, were indicted
by the grand jury in Efiingham court yes
terday at 1890 O'Clock. and at 1 O'Clock
both pleaded guilty and each was given
a sentence of three years in the peniten-
tiary. One of them, Monat said he was
not guilty of breaking into the cars, but
he admitted taking the stolen goods. On
this statement from him, one Of the local
lawyers from Effingham was appointed
to take charge OF his case.
After a short consultation with his cli-
ent, the attorney announced that he plead
ed not guilty. The negro jumped up, de-
claring that was mistake, and saying
he pleaded guilty to all the charges in the
indictment.

xiOus About Him.
sigmund Greenburg. proprietor of the
Savannah Tailoring Company with a store
on Congress treet, has. to all appearances,
folded his pantaloons and coat patterns
and sought other fields.
Greenburg seemed to have been indebt-
ed to a number of people in the city. and
his departure has left them little chance
of ever realizing anything on their ac-
counts. A suit was filed some few days
ago in one of the magistrates courts
against Greenburg's establishment, and il
was in a fair way to be closed. The
amount was for 1872. but the magistrate
concluded that to take Greenburg's word
that he would settle in day or two
would be safe, so he allowed him to con-
tinue his business.
Saturday night Greenburg was at his
place. but he did not pay off his hands
then, II is said, and yesterday morning
both he and his stock had disappeared
For time 1t was not known where he
had gone, but It was learned that he had
decided to start life anew, embarrassed by
debts. at Jacksonville, where, It is said, he
now is.

The Recorder Catches a Nest Full of
Them.

Recorder Wilson investigated some
small boys yesterday morning, who were
charged with stealing lamps and bells
from bicycles. Tom Monroe a 9-year-old
white boy was charged with stealing the
lamp from the bicycle of Mr.. G. H. Med
lock. He was turned over to his mother
for punishment.
The recorder remarked during the hear
ing that somebody had stolen the bell from
his bicycle. Monroe kindly pointed out
Tony Smith as the boy who stole the bell,
and the recorder got 1t back.
Monroe gave the names of several other
boys who had stolen lamps and bells from
bicycles. Orders were given for their ar
rest, but the boys are said to have left
town.
Many bicyclistF have suffered annoyance
and loss by having the bells and lamps
stolen from their wheels. If the recorder
and the detectives will conspire together
to break up this gang, they will have the
thanks of the bicyclists.

A GIFT FoR THE GUARDS.
Furniture From the LADIES' Aida
Trim to Nashville.

The usual routine business was trans
acted at the December meeting of the
Savannah Volunteer Guards last night,
but there was a specially interesting fea-
ture in the presentation to the club Of
four handsome pieces Of furniture by Mr..
Emile Newman in behalf of the com
mittee from the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Guards
The committee which had this matter
in charge was composed of Mrs. Emile
Newman, Mrs. John M. Bryan, Mrs. w.
w. Rogers and Mrs. I. M. Cunningham,
Sr. The new furniture is of elegant and
highly polished oak, and all of the pieces
form handsome additions to the club
rooms. One of them is large oak library
table, another a handsome writing desk,
and there is a chair for each. The pres
entation was made in brief speech on
behalf of the ladies by Mr. Newman, and
the gift was accepted with a unanimous
vote of thanks The money with which
the new furniture was purchased was
raised almost entirely from the sale of
souvenir spoons
After the battalion meeting Capt w. w.
Williamson of Company A addressed his
company on the question of Nashville
trip during the exposition next year at
that place. Capt. w. W. Mackall of Com
vile and he has brought a very urgent in
vitation from the military of Nashville TO
the Guards, requesting their attendance
during the exposition.
Capt. Williamson said he wanted to
present the matter to the men for their
consideration, as it would be upon them
that the expenses of the trip, which would
be only nominal, would fall. The visit
just at that time, he said, would be Of
great interest on account of the exposi-
ton. The visit. if made, will be a short
one, as only four or five days are to he
spent in Nashville. The matter is in lis
ineipiency as yet, and will be considered
by committee of officers, who will be
ready in about ten days to render a re-
port of the feasibility of the trip.
The project was mentioned only to Com
pany A last night, but the evident favor
1t met with there and the very reasona-
BILE figures at which the cost of the trip
Is placed will probably be bestowed upon
it in the other companies.

ABOUT THE PEACH CROP.

1t is surprising news from Whining
ton that there is fiattering prospect
for big crop of Delaware peaches
this year. We can't tell for how many
years we have heard, every spring, of
the badness of the peach prospect in
Delaware. But though the prospects
in April have nearly always been dis
couraging, there has frequently been
a very encouraging crop further along
in the season. 1t has often looked as
though the discouraging reports were
sent out for the purpose of keeping up
the price of the Delaware peaches.
The reports have done harm to the
peach-growers of the State. Lots of
people long ago lost all faith in the
Delaware crop, and came to the con-
clusion that there must be something
wrong with the peaches grown there,
or even that they had mortal illness
which caused them to die in the ripen-
ing. Perhaps Delaware may have lost
money through the publication of
these annual reports.
We can't say when we last heard
from Delaware of a flattering peach
prospect in April. We shall for some
weeks indulge in the hope that the
crop will not be ruined in May, or
about the time for the marketing of it.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

A man of about so years of age, with
dark hair and mOustache and singu-
larly winning smile, was followed by
stout mulattO boy, with huge pail and
loaded basket, dispensing coffee and
sandwiches.
AS the gentleman approached the
little woman in widows weeds he gave
start, which, however, was unOb-
served by her. As she was offered the
proffered refreshment she said, i'm
pulsively:
"This restores my faith in Western
hospitality"
Had you lost it, madam" he asked,
and without pausing,fOr reply, passed
on. 1t was Mrs. Hunts time to start
That voice! Where had she heard it
before? Directly memory took her
back a score of years.
A New England village came to
view. A cold, white moonlight even
ing, and she looking from the window
of rambling old farm house, watching
a tall, slender young man as he hur-
ried down the country road.
She had watched him out of sight,
thinking he might look back; he did
not, and she had never spoken to him
again-fOr he had left the village and
went West-until now; he had come
back to her again out of the white
snow drifts which had blocked her way
and brought him to her."
She was called back from her re
verie by the low-spoken word:
"Nellie"
A quick flush suffused her face as
she said: ''You know me, them"
"When first saw you," he replied.
They talked and laughed over the
dear old days; with sudden voices they
spoke of griefs which had come to
each of them i'll the long years OF
separation; a softened light came into
their faces and the misunderstanding
of the past faded out naturally, without
need of explanation.
Toward night, just before the train
reinforced with another engine, pulled
out, he held out his hand at parting
saying, with smile:
''But that line in Virgil-whO wa
right, Nellie?"
She laughed, and then sighed a lit
tie, saying:
"We were both wrong"
''But we are both right now, are W
