LIFE ~ THE CAUCASUS.
George Remnants Thrilling Discrip-
ton of His Travels There.


George KEENAN,, traveller. writer, lectur-
err. lectured, at the Guards hall last night
under the auspices of the Savannah Ly-
ceum on 1.-The Mountains and Mountain
GERS of the Caucasus. 1t was a thrilling
description of the travellers exploration of
the Caucasus, an exploit accomplished I'M
der the guidance of the Georgian Prince
Djordjadzo and a train of his mountain
GERS.
There was no elaborate word painting In
the lecture, but 1t was throughout an in
ter6ely interesting narrative of two
months of peril amid the noun
tains of the great range which forms a
part of the boundary line between Europe
and Asia. Mr.. Remnants explorations
were made in 1870. Starting from st.
Petersburg, he proceeded to the Russian
frontier, down the Volga river to the Cas-
plan sea, crossing which he made ex-
tensive explorations in Daghestan and
Chechnia on horseback, crossing the great
range three times in different places.
The experiences and incidents of those
explorations were the basis of his lecture.
Mr.. KEENAN, donned the mountaineer
costume which added to the dramatic in
terest of his monologue. Besides the mar
ration of his own adventures, he gave a
description of the natural scenery of the
Caucasus, of its inhabitants, their origin,
their history, their manners and customs
and their music.
At the conclusion of his lecture he gave
by request, a description of the aurora
borealis, as seen by him during his ex-
plorations in Siberia.

IMPROVING FORSYTH kARK.
The old Time walks VIII Ba Paved
with Augusta Gravel

The park and tree commission have be-
gun the work of improving Forsyth park.
The general plan of Improvement has not
yet been decided upon, and the work now
in hand is simply the rearranging of the
walks
The Bull street walk is to be widened to
the full width of Bull street, extending
back to the rows of trees on each side.
The benches which have been located I'M
der the trees just back of the walk Will
be placed on the walk. being ranged along
the sides. The walk will be of Augusta
gravel, topped off with granite screenings.
A similarly constructed walk, twelve feet
in width will be run across the park on
the line of Huntingdon street.
The new plan for the park is expected
to change the lines of nearly all the
walks. The commission also proposes to
place granite curbng around the park ON
the inner line of the sidewalk. The walks
around the park will be also improved.
Mr.. c. S. Ellis, who has charge of the
Forsyth park work, visited the park yes
terday in company with Mr.. c. l.. Brandt,
director of the Telfalr academy, with
view to having Mr.. Brandt prepare
plan for its Improvement.
One Of the park and tree commissioners,
who was spoken TO on the subject, said
that they have no authority to make any
Improvements of any kind in the Park
extension or on the walks around the ex-
tension, and if the commission had he
authority. he said, 1t has no money with
which TO make the improvements. The
question of authority over the extension
has never been definitely settled. The
failure to attempt any agreement between
the city and the military, beyond the APP
pointment of a committee to look into the
matter, some time last year. Is RESPONSE
BILE in a measure for the almost total lack
of attention the Park extension receives.
The walks around the extension and
across 1t are in need of repairs, but I'M
der the present status of affairs no i'm
provements will be made.

TO BID FOR SUMMER TRAVEL.
City and Suburban to Put on Cheap
Outside Fares.

City and Suburban to Put on Cheap
Outside Fares.
The City and Suburban Street Railway
Company is having two new cars built at
its shops on Seventh street They are
open summer cars and are long and roomy,
being designed especially for summer
pleasure travel. They are similar in pat
tern to a number already in use by the
company. Work on them is well pro-
crossed, and they will be completed
in a short time. The painting and decora-
ton is in very bright colors, and the eff
feet produced is pleasing. The building
of the new cars and the repairs on five
old cars is under the superintendent of
MIR. E. J. Thompson, who is in charge of
the shops. The old cars under repair are
those crushed by the sheds which fell upon
them when blown down by the storm last
September.
fitted up more handsomely than any now in
use. The building of the new and the re-
pairing of the old cars indicates that the
City and Suburban has an eye out for the
summer pleasure business. The pains
that are being taken to make the cars
comfortable and attractive show that the
company means to make a bona fide bid
A favorite means of spending a hot sum-
mer afternoon of recent seasons has been
a ride round the Belt. This line has been
drawing card to the hot public, both on
account of the pleasure of the ride and the
cheapness of the fare. The Belt line has
done more of this cooling trip business
than any other line during the summer.
The fares that drop in from that source
have run the receipts up pretty well, and
have induced the City and Suburban to
make try for it's share of fares. To be
successful in it's effort for a part of this
business, the company understands that
it will have to lower the price If the fare
to Isle of Hope is put at Is cents many
passengers would hardly demur at paying
it, but if it goes down to cents, the heads
of families would take their families out.
What the regular route for the summer
season is to be has not been fully deter
mined, but it is thought that the company
will decide to run a round trip from its
station at Whitaker and Second street, via
Isle of Hope and Thunderbolt
1t has been decided, at all
events, to run the cars from the Whit
aker street station 10 Isle of Hope for )
cents for the round trip. This cheap fare,
fourteen miles for cents with very pref
ty objective point, is likely to bring the
City and Suburban a big business during
the summer months If 1t is decided to re-
turn via Thunderbolt that route will
doubtless be still more popular.

Policy must go. That is the edIct of So
lickor General w w. Osborne. and he
evidently intends to carry it out to the
strict letter
AS stated in the Morning News yester-
day there were frequent reports to the
effect that the lotteries opened up for bus
mess again the next day after the indict-
ments against the proprietors and their
employees were found by the superior
court grand jury. of the fact that they
did there is little doubt. the intention pos
sibly being that such would be the best
way to get the money with which to pay
the fines. A representative of the Morn
ing News asked Solicitor Osborne about
the matter.
Il am going to break up the policy

well be understood first as last. If they
continue TO run after one indictment they
will be indicted again, and every time

cured. Policy is one thing that has got
to stop"
Solicitor General Osborne evidently
means business, and there are many peo-
pie in the community who will be glad
10 learn of his positive stand. The retail
grocers of the city will certainly stay
back of him in the movement, and as sta
ted, they have employed Mr.. II. e. Wilson
to aid in the prosecution of the cases. 1t
is understood the cases will be called for
trial sometimes next week, though Just
what day has not been determined. 1t
Is thought that most of those indicted
will plead guilty, though there are some
who will go to trial in all probability

TO REGULATE STREET. TRAVEL.
An Ordinance Compelling an Observ-
ance of the Rules of the Road.

An Ordinance Compelling an Observ-
ance of the Rules of the Road.
At the meeting of city council last
night an ordinance was introduced by AL
derman Guckenhelmer. providing for the
enforcement of the rules of the road on
the streets of the city, defining these rules
and limiting the speed of bicycles on the
streets The ordinance is of general in
terest and will in all probability become
a law practically as introduced.
Section 1 makes it the duty of
all persons driving or using on any street
in the city of Savannah any wagon, cart,
dray, truck, carriage. phaeton and any
and all similar vehicles, and also all per-
sons using on said streets a velocipede,
bicycle, tricycle. and any similar vehicle.
to keep to the right whenever 1t is prac-
ticable to do so; in going around squares
TO take to the right-hand side of the
square, and in going east on either Lib
erty or South Broad streets to take the
paved way on the southern side of said
streets and in going west to take the
northern side of said two streets
Section 2 declares that any person using
a velocipede, bicycle, tricycle. or similar
vehicle shall not be allowed to go at a
speed greater than ten miles per hour
south Oh the southern llIc Oh Liberty
street, or at the rate of six miles per
hour north of the southern line of Lib
erty street. Racing and scorching by
the riders of said vehicles" is hereby pro-
hibited.
Section repeats so much of the ordin-
ance of June g. 1885, which seems to pro-
hibit unIoaded carts, drays trucks or
wagons being driven in a moderate trot
on narrow streets.
Section provides that any person vio-
lating any of the provisions of this ordi-
nance shall be subject, upon conviction be-
fore the police court TO a fine not exceed
ing $50 and Imprisonment not exceeding
ten days. either OF both In the discretion
of the court.
While there may be some amendments il
is more than likely that the main features
of this ordinance will be enacted. The ne
cessity of such regulations of traffic on the
streets has been recognized for some time
will be Endorsed by the majority of people
who use the streets for business or pleas
ure, including the bicyclists. There has
been an almost total disregard of the rules
of the road in Savannah heretofore, and
II is generally recognized that such reg
ulations are needed.
The enforcement of the section of the
ordinance relating to South Broad and
Liberty streets would compel all the
traffic on either of the two roadways OF
| these two streets to move in the same di-
rection, thus greatly lessening the danger
of collisions and especially the collisions
| of bicycles with other vehicles.

TO CALL A PASTOR SOON.
Independent Presby terians ON the
Lookout


A name will soon be submitted to the
congregation Of the Independent Presbyte-
rian church to be voted upon as its pas
tor. Who this minister win be has not
yet been given out, as the session and
trustees do not like 10 have the name of
the minister recommended known before
the time of the election.
1t is said the meeting at which the
matter will come up will be held the last
of March or the LIST of April The board
of trustees and the session of the church
will recommend a minister 10 the congre-
CATION, and, II he should be favorably re-
ceived, he will be extended call on trial,
and then, II both he and the congregation
be mutually pleased he will be duly elect
ed pastor.
While It is not known who the minister
Is, II seems TO be the general opinion that
he Is a stranger to Savannah. The Inde-
pendent church has had a number of sup
ply ministers from distance lately, and
il was perhaps thought that call would
be extended one of them. This seems not
TO be, the case. however.

watch that had been pledged to him for
a loan some time ago on possessory' war
rant yesterday. The proceedings were be-
fore Justice Nathans.
Francis Lewis, an East Indian and a
sort of voodoo doctor. pawned the watch.
but the evidence developed the fact that
II had first been pawned with Lewis for
500 by e. G.. Eden. a railroad man, who
secured Lewis professional services to
cure an ailing member of his family.
Lewis took the watch as collateral for
the so fee. kept It six months and then
pawned II with Mr.. Muhlberg.
Eden employed an attorney, who got the
watch from the pawnbroker, giving him
a receipt, in which he agreed that, in the
event Lewis who was to be tried on a
charge OF stealing the watch, was shown
to have been entitled 20 pawn It. II should
be returned to him. After Lewis had been
discharged the attorney was slow about
making restitution Of the watch, so Muhl-

THE MANN PROPERTY DIVIDED.
Each of the six Parts Amounts to
About $4,000.


About $4,000.
A consent decree was taken in the su-
perlor court yesterday finally disposing of
the property formerly belonging to the es-
tate of George b. Cumming, which by the
death of William Grayson Mann, who had
a life interest in 1t. went to certain heirs
named in Mr. Cummings will.
The property, consisting altogether of
securities of various kinds, has been held
in trust by the Savannah Bank and Trust
Company. Under the decree of the court
Messrs. b. A. Denmark, George A. Mercer,
Jr.. and T. M. Cunningham, Jr., were APP
pointed commissioners to make division
into six parts as provided in the decree
each part to consist of thirteen shares of
Southwestern railroad stock, fifty-eight
shares of the capital stock of the Savannah
Gas Light Company, $4,000 in state of Geor-
gia bonds and $1,000 in city of Savannah
bonds. Each share therefore is valued
approximately at 5000.
One of these portions each goes to Mrs
Kate Berrien Anderson, Mrs. Harriet c.
Berrien, l.. Cecil Berrien, and w Cecil
Durand, and two parts to James Hunter,
a portion of one of the other heirs hav-
ing been assigned to him. The court
however. decreed that the portion going
TO Mr.. Hunter should be paid out to Adam
Strain of Darien, Henry 2. Talmage of
New York, and Henry J. Thomasson of
Savannah, this property having been as
signed to them as security for certain
loans.
After this division, as stated, there will
be left about $500 of the property which
is to be used in paying certain claims
against the property, such as that of the
Savannah Bank and Trust Company, the
costs of courts, and any other necessary
expenses.
