SANFORD SETTINGS.
General News Items From the Gate
City of south Florida.

Sanford, Fla, Jan. 1.-THE weather off,
cials gave us a panic on Saturday i'm re-
gard to the expected freeze, and ample
preparations were made for il that night
and last night, but it came in so mild q
form that we hardly noticed il as, CON-
pared with far more severe ones that
came earlier in the season and did COLI
siderable damage,
To-day the Piant system puts on It's
winter schedule for the South Florida d.
vision, and this gives US the fast hotc;
train, both ways, in addition to the regu-
lar mail train. All the hotels on the hne
are now open except the elegant Semi
mole of the Plant system at Winter PARK,
which opens the middle of the month.
1t is a singular fact that nearly every
prominent hotel from Sanford to the Gulf
has a new landlord. our own Sanford
house, the Wilton hotel and the Shrine
house are under a new management as

This is the usual time for the great rush
of wealthy people from the north and
west, both hotel guests and those hav-
ing winter homes here. These people gem
orally wait until after Christmas before
packing up for a winter in Florida. For
this reason many of our hotels do not
open until the middle of January. and the
hotel trains do not run until after the
holiday vacations are all over.
1t Is, therefore, too early to estimate
our prospects for this season, but the
severe weather at the north and west
ought to send us a big crowd during the
present month. The Clyde river line is
running only one boat from Jacksonville

ORDINANCE.

BY Committee on Finance
An ordinance to amend section three 80
of that certain ordnance adopted by the
council of the city Of Savannah July 4,
1888, and entitled, AN ordinance to
debt of the city of Savannah known as
the bonds of the Savannah, Albany and
Gulf Railroad Company guaranteed by
the mayor and aldermen of the city of
Savannah and hamlets thereof. to pro-
vide for the issue of new bonds with
which to redeem the bonds so guaranteed
now Outstanding, to provide for the es-
tablishment of a sinking fund for the
redemption of such bonds, and for other
purposes.
Whereas, by reason of the high and I'M
reasonable prices at which the bonds is
sued under the terms of the above en-
titled ordinance are held by the owners
thereof, 1t is sometimes impracticable for
the sinking fund commissioners to pur-
chase the said bonds to the face value Of
six thousands dollars, as directed by said
section three of the ordinance. ana it is,
nevertheless, the purpose Of the mayor
and aldermen of the city of Savannah to
observe the contract made by the said
ordinance in its spirit and intent.
Section /. For remedy whereof ii is
hereby ordained by the mayor and alder
men of the city of Savannah in council
assembled, That said section three (3) of
the said ordinance, which said section is
embodied in section 1886 of MacDonell's
Code of Savannah, be and the sames is
hereby so amended that the sinking fund
commissioners, mentioned in the said sec
ton are authorized, when they find it inn
practicable, on account of the high ana
unreasonable prices at which they are
held, to obtain the bonds of 1888 issued un-
der the said ordinance to the face value
of six thousand dollars, to purchase bonds
Of the city. of Savannah issued in 1879 in
lieu thereof. and, in this event, it is made
the duty of the said commissioners to
have the said bonds of 1879 registered
in their names as commissioners,
and to hold the same as a trust in
vestment for the benefit of the bonds Of
1882 so that at any proper time the said
bonds of 1879 so held may. bv them, be con-
verted into cash for the purpose of pur-
chasing the bonds of 1888 and facilitate
ing the complete redemption of the
said bonds of 1888 as contemplate
ed by the said ordinance of July 4, 1888.
As the coupons on the bonds of 1879, held
under this ordinance mature, the said
commissioners shall detach the same and
turn them over to the treasurer of the
city of Savannah for cancellation.
Sec 2. Be it further ordained, That all
ordinances and parts of ordinances in
conflict with this ordinance are hereby re-
pealed.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The Senate not
being in session to-day, all the interest
in legislative matters was concentrated
in the south wing of the capitol. where,
there was some expectancy, there might
be a furry of some kind in connection
with the thirty-day call for bids for

his mornings papers. No public refer
once however was made to the subject.
After some preliminary, routine bust
ness, unanimous consent was asked by
cir. Broderick of Kansas to have Clar-
ence j.. Allen sworn in as representative
from Utah. That state, he said, had been
admitted into the union last Saturday
and Mr.. Allen had his credentials signed
Dy the governor and secretary of state,

they were only to be sworn in to-day.
Objection was made by Mr. Crisp and

THE ISSUE IN THE I'D DISTRICT.
Congressional Candidates working
for the Nomination.

Thomasville, Ca, Jan. 6-The race for
congress from this district will be not so
much between the different candidates as
between the sound money and free silver
faction. 1t is now pretty generally under
stood that Judge Griggs is the champion
of the free silverites, while Judge Bower
and Capt Hammond represent the sound
money men, It can readily be seen, if
the silverites remain solid for Griggs, and
the sound money men divide between
Hammond and Bower. that the cause of
the sound money men will be lost. ais
makes il pre-eminently necessary thatsthe
one candidate for the good of the cause.
Judge Griggs is very active worker, and
he is leaving no stone unturned to carry
the convention his way He is now heart
and soul in the fight, and is doing more
work than both OF the other candidates
combined. 1t is true the election is a long
way off, but the seeds of false doctrine
are being sown broadcast over the dis
trict and unless they are counteracted
they will bear fruit of their kind. The
standard bearer of the sound money peo-
pie should be a man well qualified men
tally and bodily to meet their aggressive
and hopeful antagonist. To say nothing
of anv other aspirauts. it can be safely
said that these qualities are fully met in
William NJ. Hammond Of Thomasville. He
is ready to undertake the fight, and to
carry it through to victory, but feeling
that he is not fighting so much his own
battles as the battles of his country, and
his party he thinks that he should have
the undivided and cordial support OF all
men who believe in the principles of de-
mocracy as represented by Grover Cleve-

At 10 O'Clock the weather began to
