as II is possible to do so he said he intends
to make his appointments appropriate
ones, or in other words he desires wherever
possible that the head of a committee
shall have some knowledge of the subject
matter of the department with which he
is to deal.
Mai Meldrim has already determined
upon three of his appointments Of chair
men Of committees, and they indicate the
policy just mentioned. Mr.. S. p. Haluil-
ton, as was stated in the Morning News,
has been selected as the chairman of .he
finance committee. and Mr.. T. F. O'Don-
nell, who is a well-known machinisT, has
been decided upon as the chairman of
the water works committee Another Of
Maj. Medrim's appointments viii ne DR..
w. w. owens as chairman Of the commit
tee on health. Further than this Mai
Meldrim said he had not decided upon
any of the committee charmen.
Maj. Meldrim reiterated the declaration
he has made and one which has been
made by several of the newly elected
board, that no promise of any Office has
been made to any applicant. After the
election ne called the attention of his
board of aldermen TO the fact that such
had been the policy of the Liberal CAB,
and the fact that 1t ought to be adhered
TO. There may have been some Struggling
promises of votes. but so faTfas it known
no promises have been made, and it IS
fseAlA ~ NC tCl tam AhAN ftiO dBplitdiil has
the assurance that he Evil be given The
position which he is sseking.
Mai. Meldrim wH so up to Atlanta
tomorrow night TO attend the adjourn
ed session of thefegislature, to which will
be made the rsbort of the committee APP
pointed to make inquiry as to whether
the chargef preferred against Judges
Sweat and, Reese were sufficient to justi-
fly their Impeachment. The result of the
work ~ that committee is well known,
the Committee not having found suhi-
cien4 grounds for the Impeachment Of
thgSe Judges. The members of the leg
SEIZURE have had ample opportunity to
carefully consider the evidence, and it is
believed they will adopt the committees
freport without much discussion. Outside
Of that the only thing to be done is the
passage Of a resolution providing for the
payment of the committees expenses, and
1t is considered that this work will not
occupy the legislature more than an hour
! or two hours at the outside. Mayor Mel
drm expects the work to be wound up
promptly, and ne will return to the city
Thursday morning.
With regard to the commissions and the
officials who were elected by them, Mai.
Meldrim said he intended that the new
administration should cooperate with
| them heartily in the performance Of their
| duties as long as they remain in power
| He intends TO see. he said, that they are
| not embarrassed in any way in the per-
| Torrance of their duties as long as they
| remain there.

WILL ALLOW NO GAMBLING.
This Feature to Be Barred From the
First Regiments Fair in April.

Several innovations in the fair line will
be introduced by the First Regiment In
fantry, which. as has been stated, will
hold fair this coming April
At a meeting of the officers of the regi-
ment. who constitute the fair committee
it was unanimously decided that there
shall be no form of gambling whatever. at
the fair. The officers Of the regiment were
all Of one mind on the subject, and while
they took into consideration the fact that
they might make more money out Of the
venture with 1T, they considered it was not
the proper thing to do, so there is going
to be no gambling
Another thing upon which the officers
came to an equally emphatic conclusion
Is that there will be no railing or selling
Of bottles of liquor. on one or two occa-
sions this is said to have been the coca
sion of considerable drinking at fairs, and
the officers decided that it is better for all
concerned to bar it altogether. 1t may
be, however, that wine will be furnished
in the supper room, and If any donations
OF cases Of wines or liquors are received,
they will of course be disposed of in that
shape during the progress oi the fair.
Each OF the five companies of the regi-
ment will have table The question came
up as to whether each company should be
given percentage of the net receipts from
its table above a certain amount, but af-
ter discussion 1t was decided that the en-
tire proceeds from the fair should go into
the treasury of the regiment.
The subscription committee of the fair as
appointed consists of Col. A. r. Lawton,
Jr., Lieut.. Col. Peter Reilly, Maj. Edward
Karow ana Maj w. S. Rockwell. This
committee will begin its work within a
few days and will solicit subscriptions in
behalf Of the regiment. The different com
panies will also solicit subscriptions for
their respective tables. The fair will open
in the Guards hail Tuesday night. April
20, and will continue into the week fol-
lowing that. 1t will not, however, be open
on Memorial day, April 26.

MARC kLAW EXPECTED HERE.
A Theatrical Man Says 1t May Mean
New Theater For Savannah.

1t is stated upon the authority of a we'll
known theatrical man who was in the
city yesterday. that Mr.. Marc Klaw of
the firm of Klaw & Erlanger' of New
York will be in Savannah to-day or to-
morrow for the purpose of looking into
the matter of getting a new theater here.
Mr.. kiaw came here on a similar mis-
sion about a year ago. but nothing def
mite was ever accomplished. This time,
collateral sufficient to back up any prop
osition he may make. 1t is not apparent
why nothing ever came of his former ef-
forts. At the time he was here there was
not the best of feeling between the Klaw
& Erlanger booking agency and the
Greenwall Theatrical Circuit Company,
but it is understood that since that time a
truce was patched up, and during the sea-
son a number of Klaw & Erlangers at
fractions have appeared at the Savannah
theater.
When Mr.. Klaw was here before he left
the matter of looking around for site
for such a theater building as was con-
templated in the hands of a prominent
real estate dealer, but nothing definite was
ever accomplished, and it appeared that
the matter had been dropped. Why it has
been taken up again Is not exactly APP
parent, but the gentleman who is au-
thority for the statement says
that Mr.. Klaw is coming and
he means business He says he
believes that Savannah will have
a new theater, and he bases his belief
upon this interest Mr.. I<law is taking in
the matter in behalf of his firm.
Whether Savannah needs new theater
or not is another question. 1t is a mat
ter to which as yet very little serious
consideration has been given, though ii
was talked of quite bit at one time I'm
der the circumstances, however it does
not seem as if two theaters in Savannah
would pay, but that is a matter which
the theater men themselves may have to
decide

THE CONFERENCE ADJOURNED.
The Closing Ceremony a Mission
Dedication.

Dedication.
The annual session of the Savannah con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal church
closed last night with the dedication of
the Methodist mission church at Sims and
Lincoln streets. The dedication ceremony
was performed by Bishop Hurst who has
presided over the conference.
The visiting pastors preached at many
churches in the city yesterday. But few of
the pulpits we're filed by the regular pas
tors, as invitations to preach had been
extended to so many of the conference
preachers.
At Trinity church in the morning Rev
Manlev Il. Hard, assistant corresponding
secretary of the church extension society
preached. He also preached at Grace
church at night
Bishop Hurst preached I'm the morning
at Asbury church and also performed the
ceremony ordaining one deacon. three dea-
connesses and two elders. These officers
We're: Adam McLendon, deacon. Minnie
Williams. Fannie White and Lyla White
deaconnesses, and William Daniels and M
p. Moore elders.
Bishop Hurst and Dr. Hard will leave
to-day for Columbia to attend the eet-
ing of the South Carolina conference
Nearly all Of the visiting preachers and
Law delegates will also leave for their
charges and homes.
The conference has proven very success
ful in many ways. and those who attend

A STEP TOWARD REFORM.
Several Gentlemen Discussing Plans
to Put "a stop 10 Buying Votes.

Several Gentlemen Discussing Plans
TO Put "a stop 10 Buying Votes.
There is a number of prominent gentle
men in Savannah who We're so disguised
with the open bribery and buying of votes
that went on at the polls in last Tues
days election that they have been dis
cussng among themselves some plan by
which a stop can be put to It.
These gentlemen are not members of
any one faction-there are some of them
on both sides-but they are men who are
Interested more i'm the welfare of the
community than they are in the scramble
for political office which has seemed 10
characterize both sides. They have stated
that they would be the first to sign an
agreement. which, among other things,
would provide, first that they would not
contribute one dollar toward any cam
paign fund, in the second place, that they
would not support any candidate whose
side purchased a vote, and in the third
place, they would not support any candi-
didate who refuses to go into a white pri-
mary.
These are only few of the features of
the proposed agreement and IL is believed
from what has been said that the move
ment will take tangible shape. Should 500
to LOCO wel-known Savannahians sign
such an agreement regardless of their in
clnation toward one or the other of the
political factions, it is believed there
would be no doubt about their influence
and power effectualy putting a stop to
the disgusting and criminal practice OF
vote buying.
There seems to be no other way TO get
at the offenders. True there is a law
against bribery. but il is said Il is such
a hard matter to secure legal proofs that
it Is practically a dead letter.

lished in the Morning News, the Ardrs-
haig was bound from Hamburg for this
port with cargo Of kainet and murate Of
potash. and got aground on Frying Pan
shoals last Wednesday.
1t was necessary to employ three tugs
to pull her off, after about 500 tons of
her cargo had been thrown overheard.
She left for Savannah Friday night. Capt.
Adkins states that the steamship was APP
parently unlnjured. and that her machin-
cry worked all right lie accompanied her
down the coast, but lost sight Of her Sat
urday night during a severe gale. The
steamship put to sea, and the tug made
