YAoHrsMEN"s LITTLE sauABBLE.
Caused the BIackIisting of Two Gem
tIemen in the Club.


The report gained current circulation
yesterday that there is quite a stir among
the members of the Savannah Yacht Club
over the action on the part of some of the
members in black baliing two Of Savan-
nah's most prominent citizens and best
known gentlemen. who were proposed for
membership.
Inquiry with regard to the matter was
made among several members of the club,
but they refused to say anything. But
there were fifty members of the club at
the meeting and it was quite natural that
the matter should have been generally
discussed on the streets.
As matter of fact, it was perhaps the
largest meeting outside of an annual
meeting that the club has held in several
years, and it is said the forebodings of
trouble were responsible for the fact that
it was so. The Morning News yesterday
gave the names Of the six gentlemen who
were elected members Of the club, and
though it was reported the day before
that the action above indicated was taken,
nothing was said about it, as the MEM
bers declined to talk. II became mat
ter of current comment, however, and it
Is said some of the members of the club
are quite stirred up about it.
One of the gentlemen is a well-known
business man who has been identified in
limited way with politics. and one of the
factions in the club claims that it was
this that led to his name being voted
down. Another prominent business man,
who has also had little something to do
with politics, was thought TO be connect
ed with the matter, but he denies strenu-
haf rSfaor hal hi co. do uFffh
The other gentleman is a lawyer who,
it is said, was proposed by someone on the
other side, and the feeling engendered is
said to have led to his name being voted
down, by the opposite faction as little
matter of tit for tat.
Just what the reason for this feeling is,
cannot be ascertained. Some say one
thing and others another. Both of the
gentlemen are well known and popular
Savannahians, who would do credit to any
cub in the city, and the action it is said,
is due to no feeling against them, but
rather of the feeling of some of the men,
bers against others.
This same state of affairs seemed to
exist in the club on the occasion of the
annual meeting, when there was some OPP
position between certain candidates for
membership on the board of stewards. 1t
is supposed that the action at the recent
meeting is a continuatio of the same lit
tie trouble, and efforts are now being made
to bring the unpleasant situation to an
end. One of the members remarked last
night that there would be few members,
who would propose their friends for men,
bership for sometime to come, unless there
was change in the situation, as they
would not run the risk of a similar occur
renee.
Conservative members of the club do not
enjoy the situation at all, and they are
working to re-establish complete peace.
The club now has 80 members, and its
membership is continually Increasing, so
that they have no desire to see a situation
of affairs which would in any way injure
its prosperity

COL. MCCLURE INVITED HERE.
BUSINESS MEN OF SAVANNAH
WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
HIM SPEAK.

An Invitation Sent By the Board of
Trade and Cotton Exchange Ask
ing Him to Present His Views On
Industrial Conditions, Especially
In the SOuth-COI. Mcclure Now at

Return North.
Col A. X. Mcclure editor and proprietor
of the Philadelphia Times one OF the best
known and most prominent of northern
newspaper men, Is at the hotel Ponce de
Leon, st. Augustine, where he will remain
about week before starting for the north.
Col Mcclure has made a special study
of industrial conditions in the south, in
which he has been much Interested for
many years; and he has made number of
speeches in different parts of the south
since he has been visiting it.
Approaching the value of his views de-
rived from continued study and observa-
ton, President d. G. Purse, of the board
of trade, and President G. w. Dwelle of
the cotton exchange, have written him a
Joint letter asking him 10 visit Savannah
on his return north, and to make the
business men here an address, giving his
views on the industrial conditions of the
country, especially in the south. The let
ter assures him of a warm and hearty wei
come and expresses the hope that he will
crafty the people by accepting the invi-
tation.
1t is probable also that some informal re-
ception will be rendered Col. Mcclure and
his family at the De Soto while they are
here. There are many Savannahians who
would like to meet him, and the opportun-
ity Afforded by a simple informal gather
ing would no doubt be the most desirable
way. He is man whose views on indus
trial and financial subjects are Of value

HEAVY DAMAGE from WAsHoUTs.
Tracks VIII he Rebuilt as Soon As
the Floods Recede.

The Georgia and Alabama the Central
and the Plant system had better success
with their trains in the flooded south
western section Of the state yesterday
than they have had before since the tracks
we're overlooked Trains were run with
less delays and, where transfers from one
train TO another at washouts were neces-
sary, they were effected with greater dis
patch and less inconvenience.
On the Brunswick and Western division
of the Plant system the washout east of
Albany has been repaired and trains yes
terday ran across the bad place, though
the running was done very gingerly.
The Central had less troubles on the
southwestern division, and will soon have
it's line all right again.
The Georgia and Alabama's trains ar
rived yesterday very little late. They
crossed the trestle over the Ocmulgee river
at Abbeville without trouble.
The Plant systems greatest damage Is
on its Alabama Midland division. Wash
outs are frequent along the road and the
track is submerged in a number of places.
Repairs on the road could not
be commenced at once, as the high water
rendered it impossible. Reports indicate
its falling and repairs will begin at once.
Trains on that division have all been de-
layed. The trains from Townsville to AL
bany are now running. They were unable
to make the trip while the water was
highest. superintendent of Trausporta-
ton W. j. Haylow is now on the Alabama
Midland, and will probably remain there
until the road bed is again in good condi-
ton.

COMMISSIONER WTLTINK,s pEp1v
He Says n Few Things to the Park
and Tree Commission.

Commissioner of Public Works willink
was seen yesterday in regard to the COM
plant of the park and tree commission
that the departments under him do not re-
move the rubbish caused by the trimming
of trees as rapidly as the members of that
body think should be done.
Commissioner Willink had read the reso-
luton of the commission on the subject.
Il have not objected to hauling away rub
bish of any kind when it was in the power
of the departments under me to do it,"
said he, 'but 1 have objected to going to
extra expense in putting on hired teams
and extra men to clear up the rubbish
with which the park and tree commits
sion has so literally Uttered the city. This
l have been compelled to do. The work
of the street and lane department is so
heavy that l find it necessary, at times,
to hire teams. The scavenger wagons are
kept busily at work all day and into the
night removing garbage and other waste
from the residences and places of BUSH
ness of citizens. This is their first and
prime duty. To the extent that those wag-
ons were able to do 1t | have endeayored
to remove the rubbish created by the
work of the park and tree commission.
IL has kept its men busy all the week and
up to o'clock Saturday afternoons trim
ming trees and bushes and has compelled
me to turn out teams and men at double
time on Sundays or at night to clear up
after its employees. The commissioners
have three head of stock, l believe, and an
appropriation of $4,000. What is the mat
ter with their using their own teams and
own men to clear up their
own rubbish? The park and
tree commission, though, seems
to be quite willing at all times to fan back
on other departments. 1t was only a few
days ago it wanted the dry culture force
put to work In Laurel Grove cemetery
when l was compelled, by the large
amount of wofk. to hire extra hands
The park and tree commission seems
quite willing to criticise," continued Mr.
Willink 1T is its privilege, as il IS that
of citizens generally, to criticise any pub-
lie official. would like to ask why. after
the city had gone to the expense OF order
ing curb to put around some of the trees
at the upper end of South Broad street
they were cut down, or whether the wood
fence around the grass plat at South
Broad and Bull streets is a thing of beau
" that is to be a JOY forever, or whether

cising.'
DR.. Stone, chairman of the park and
tree commission, was asked about the res
olutions referred to, and said they were
rather out OF date, having been adopted

resolutions would be brought before coun-

BOsTON'S FIRST GAME.
The Beaneaters Against the Savnn-
mains Tomorrow.

mains Tomorrow.
The first game between the Bostons and
the Savannahs will be played tomorrow
afternoon. The Bostons put in some good
work yesterday and by tomorrow they
men were out, with the exception of
Pitcher Sullivan, who has a severe cold.
He is not laid up, however, and will be
all right to-day.
Lewis and Sullivan will alternate in
the box for Boston and Bergen will take
care of the back stop. The other posi-
tions will be played by the regular men,
as follows; Tucker, first base: Lowe, sec
ond base; Collins, third base; Long, short
stop; Duffy, first base; Hamilton, center
field; Tenney right field.
Charlie Camel will catch for and cap
tain the Savannahs and Nichols and
Klobedanz will do the box work. 1t is
probable that they will each pitch three
innings and Howard Hopkins be given a
chance. Manager Selee would like to see
his men go up against a Savannah pitch
er. Hopkins doesn't expect to let them
down easy, but he is plucky enough to
try. Hopkins will play in the field when
not pitching. Big Jack Stivetts will play
urSt base, ana 1eager VIII play third.
Bob Harper will play second base and Jim
Ballantyne will cover short stop. Ballan-
tyne moves around fast and he will have
plenty of opportunities to show what he
can do.
The friends Of Frank Butler would like
to see him play left field for the Savan-
nahs and he will be asked to do so. This
is Buffers playing position, and the Ia
vannah enthusiasts would like to see him
play before he leaves for Columbus.
Stahl a candidate for right field on the
regular team. will take care of right
garden for Cancels team.
1t will be seen that the teams are
evenly matched and Capt. Duffy need not
think that his men will have a cake
walk
Life-size posters of Hugh Duffy and
Billy Hamilton will be pasted on the bill
boards this morning. They were brought
down by Manager Selee and are works
of art. They show the captain and the
champion baserunner in costume, and are
something new down here in the way of
base ball advertising.
A series of five games will be played be-
tween these teams on the following dates,
unless they should be broken into by
games arranged with Philadelphia:
March q and 80. and April l, 3 and g. La
dies will be admitted to the park free,
and everybody will be well cared for.
The Catholic Library Association has
the management of the games.

DIR. BRUNNER WILL NOT TALK,
A Report That He Would Resign
Neither Denied Nor Affirmed,


The report was circulated yesterday
that Health officer w. F. Drummer had
stated, in talking with some friends, of
the ordinance passed by council, requir-
ing the health officer to answer emer-
gency calls at the police barracks, that
he would resign his office
Dr. Drummer was asked about the mat
ter by representative of the Morning
News last night. From what he said it
is gathered that he has not yet taken
that step, and that he has no intention
of doing so Immediately, though he may
be heard from before many days. Dr..
Brunner simply replied that he had moth
ing whatever to say about the matter at
present, though he might have something
90 say later.
Alderman Hull, who introduced the or
dinance, in speaking of il yesterday, said
the idea of some that he opposed Dr.
Drummer or had some personal feeling
against him was entirely erroneous and
unfounded.
DIR. Drummer and myself are on most
friendly terms" he said, land / cannot
Imagine where any such report could
have originated. l introduced the ordi-
nance as matter of duty as l consid-
cred IL. That work had been attended to
by the health officer right along up 10 1898,
and cannot see any reason why il should
not be done by him now, nor why that
should be made an extra expense upon
the city. That was my reason for intro
ducing the ordinance and any report TO
the contrary is wholly unfounded.
