for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the justiceships of the supreme court.
1t was primarily necessary, he said, that
the meeting should make good showing,
and every member of the party should at
tend. The meeting he stated, had been
purposely fixed at $50 o'clock so that it
would not interior with the desire of any
of the members to attend the circus, and
there was no reason he said, why all
should not attend as the work before the
meeting would require only few min
utes.
Speaking of the primary to be held by
the Citizens Club faction, Mr.. O'Byrne
said that the Liberalites should do as they
did before, and keep tabs on the voters
at the polls Saturday. He was satisfied,
he said, that there would not be a large
vote at the polls, and he thought the Lib
eral Club faction should have evidence
to show just what the vote was. At the
close of the meeting the names of parties
who will stand near the polls at to-mor-
rows primary, to watch the voting, were
taken.

SHEET AsPHALT's VICTORY.
The south Broad street Paving to
BE Got Under Way at Once.

The south Broad street Paving to
BE Got Under Way Mt Once.
The decision of the city council to pave
South Broad street with sheet asphalt
seems to give satisfaction to citizens gen.
orally, as we'll as to the majority of prop
erty owners on that street Even those
who petitioned for the use Of brick do not
feel called upon to complain.
The paving ordinance will doubtless be
formally adopted at the next meeting of
council. bids for paving with sheet as
phalt, to be handed in by that time, have
been advertised for.
It is not expected that there will be any
other bid than that Of the Warren-Scharf
Asphalt Company. and no reduction in its
former bid Is expected. Its bid for stand
ard light asphalt at $1.95 per square yard
will doubtless be the one accepted.
AS the paving company will be bound
by its contract to keep the pavement IN
repair for fifteen years after completion,
five years at its own cost and ten years
at a charge of cents per square yard
per annum, IL Is evidently to Its own in-
terest TO lay a first-class pavement
Bids for the maintenance of all the as.
phalt streets in the city for a period of
nesday night The Warren-Scharf As
phalt Company has already offered to I'M
dertake their maintenance for period OF
FIVE years at the rate of cents per square
yard per annum and 1t is very likely that
the company will make bid for ten years
at the same rate.
The advocates of vitriied brick do not
consider their defeat permanent one
by any means, and expect to see other
streets of the city paved with brick at
an early date. They will make a fight
to secure the contract for Drayton street,
and may be successful.
DR.. Falligant will make another fight
for Augusta gravel Wednesday night, but
with little show of success. He believes
that Savannah's chief need, next to a
system Of house drainage, is a chief and
serviceable paving material. In
this connection his attention has
been called by gentleman from
Syracuse N. Y, to a new pavement which
is being introduced there, which, If sue
cessful, would be perfect bonanza to Sa-
vannah in the way of street paving Sy-
racuse, like Savannah, II seems, is plen-
tifully supplied with sand. The new
pavement consists of compost of ordi-
nary sand, cement and rosin and is said
to give a smooth, durable surface Sa-
vannah has an unlimited sand supply.
cheap rosin is to be had in quantities, and
cement Is not costly. The experiment
will be watched.

OUT AT THE YACHT CLUB.
improvements Made and New Plans
Being Talked of.

The property and grounds Of the Sa-
vannah Yacht Club were never in brighter
better or more attractive condition than
they are to-day. All the results OF the
storm at the clubs quarters were eradi-
Gated long ago, and now the improve
ments recently put upon the club mousse
and grounds are nearly complete. Per
haps the only thing remaining to be done
is to put up the iron fence around the
grounds, which will entirely complete the
work as originally contemplated
Chairman w. W. Starr of the committee
on improvements has reason to be proud
of the work that has been done. The
yacht club to-day Is not surpassed as
really enjoyable pleasure resort anywhere
in the south. The Morning News has al
ready given an account of the additions
made to the club house proper, whereby
the upper story and the ladies' entrance
have been entirely separated from the
gentlemen's part Of the club. Each part
has been handsomely finished and fur
nished, and the building has been greatly
strengthened throughout by the use of
heavy bolts, where as the beams and raft
ers were formerly held only by nails. An
other addition is the restaurant feature
~ winch lunches Cdil Oe sel'Ou .Ae AioiAA
bers, and their guests at any time.
A party of Atlanta gentlemen, who re-
Gently spent a day at the club, came to
the conclusion that If they could have
such a place near the Gate City, they
could secure 1000 members at any price
they might ask There has been some
talk on the part of the Atlanta men of
scheme to form a club among themselves
as an adjunct to the Savannah Yacht
Club, and own boat of their own here.
Such a party could make trips to Savan-
nah at reduced railroad rates no doubt,
and enjoy the pleasure of a few days on
the salts at a very moderate cost. Chair
man Starr is very much in favor of the
plan, and thinks it would be a good thing
for Savannah as well as for the Allan
tians. 1t is likely the plan will be further
discussed when the Atlanta and the Sa-
vannah men meet again.

pear in Cycles.
Complying with the request Of the Morn
ing News to say something to its readers
concerning the meteoric shower, which is
predicted to occur within the next forty
eight hours and which is now attracting
considerable attention in the popular
press, as well as in scientific circles, 1t
is proper perhaps for me to say in the
outset that while there is a real basis OF
interest to astronomers in the forthcom-
ing event, still, the phenomenon in all
proba bility will fall far short of the ex-
pectations raised in the popular mind by
a number of newspaper articles which
have seen.
For several hundred years a greater
number of meteors or shooting stars than
usual have been observed about Nov. 10

three years the number is vastly increased

NOT WHAT HE SAID HE WAS.

Mcguire, Alias O'NeiII and Towards
Trick to Get Back to Iowa.
Tom Mcclure, alias ONeill, alias C. j.
Howard, who surrendered himself at the
police barracks about two weeks ago,
claiming to be an escaped convict from
the Iowa state penitentiary is a fake.
That is the verdict of Mr.. P. w. Mad
den, warden of the penitentiary. Warden
Madden arrived in the city yesterday
morning and called at the police barracks
after breakfast. Neither Chief McDer-
mott nor Lieut.. Reilly were at the bar
racks at the time, but Sergt. Lngg di-
rected him to the station house and had
Mcclure brought out.
That's not O'Nein," promptly remark
ed Warden Madden. THAT man never
stole over s. in his life."
The warden identified the prisoner as
Thomas Banty, a petty thief, who hung
around Animosa, where the state peniten-
tiary is located, a good part of hts time
when not behind the walls of the peni-
tertiary. This was how Banty came to
be so familiar with the details of the
penitentary life and how he knew of the
escape of the real O'Neil, who was in
for twenty years for burglary.
Warden Madden was greatly disguised
at the fruitlessness of his errand. Banty,
he said merely wanted a rest and per-
haps thought he might be sent back to
Animosa by an officer from Savannah, in
which case his identity would not be dis
covered until he had been landed in AMI
mosa. Mr.. Madden blamed himself for
not having had picture of the prisoner
with a detailed description sent him be-
fore coming to Savannah, but the partic-
ulars Of the O'Nein escape, as given by
Banty, fitted the case so exactly that he
had no doubt that the man under arrest
here was ONeill Mr.. Madden did not
even wait to see the chief, but took the
first Central train for Atlanta on his way
back to Iowa.
Banty, or Howard, declares that there
is reward of $3.50 for his return to the
penitentary and that the warden Is only
bluffing in order that he may make the
arrest and get the reward himself when
he Howard, is released by the authorities
here.
Chief McDermott says that he will pre-
fer a charge OF vagrancy against Banty
and give Recorder Wilson a chance to
turn him over to the city court on that
charge. in which case he may find that
Savannah is not such soft town to rest
in after all.

OF matter in these dust-clouds, whose i'm
pact with the earth might be attended
with much danger. There certainly is a
possibility of danger from such a source,
put the probability is very small. 1t is
we'll known that these November meteors
while quite numerous are very small
Their orbital velocity when they meet the
earth is twenty-six miles second, but
as trey meet the earth with its motion of
nineteen miles a second the relative We
locity of these meteors, when they enter
our atmosphere, is forty-five miles a Sec
ond, sufficient to melt and vaporize in
stantiy the most refractory substances
known.
When one of these shooting stars first
makes 1t appearance 1t is on the aver
age about seventy-four miles high and
when it disappears it is about fifty miles
nigh. Occasionally a larger body sur
wives the impact against the atmosphere
and strikes the earth as a hot mass of
meteoric iron and nickel known as an
aerolite, The largest of these fell in
South America and weighed fifteen tons.
one OF the most curious and interesting
discoveries of modern astronomy is the
identification of the orbits of these me-
teoric swarms and the orbits of old com
cts which have disappeared. This would
Seems ito indicate that meteors are but
parts of disintegrated comets which have

ton The number of these little bodies
which daily enter our atmosphere is sur
prising. 1t has been estimated at four
hundred millions, and the weight of the
meteoric dust, which is thus annually
added to the earth, has been estimated at
more than $4,000 TONS
While 1t is not probable that we will see
great number of shooting stars this No
vember, we may expect the number to be
considerably increased in 1897 and 1898.
while in 1899 we may expect grand mete-
ORIG display similar to the one in 1893.
A meteor or a meteor swarm is never
visible except during the small fraction
of a second when it flashes across the sky,
but it is interesting to think that during
this brief moment of it's expiring light the
astronomer gathers from it sufficient data
to track It's unseen orbit for centuries
among the stars. Furthermore, the spec
troscope enables him to recognize in this
silent messenger from outer space the
same chemical elements with which he is
familiar here upon earth.
The meteors which will be visible to-
night and tomorrow night may be seen
best after midnight, when the moon sets,
and their direction will be from the east.

TRYING TO GIVE BOND.
A Total of $4,000 Security Required
of Mai. A. l.. Hartridge.

The only new feature in the Hartridge
cases yesterday was the effort on the part
of the friends of Maj. A. L. Hartridge to
raise bond for him so that he might be
relieved from the custody of the officers
Of the law.
There are two warrants charging forgery,
which made it necessary to arrange two
bonds. One of them was sworn out in
Justice Samuel Reynolds court by Presl-
dent Henry Blum of the Germania. Bank,
and the other in the court of Justice War
ing Russell, Jr., by President Herman
Myers of the National Bank of Savannah.
In the first case bond was fixed in the
sum of 5000, and in the latter $1,000, max
ing total bond of $4,000 requi, cd, though
the case in which the $1,000 bond was re-
quired represents less than the other. The
friends of the defendant who interested
themselves in making arrangements in the
matter, did not succeed however, in fix
ing the bonds yesterday afternoon, and the
surveillance is still continued. 1t may be
that something will be done in the matter
to-day.
