TO UNITE THE HInERNIANs.
! O'COnnor EndeavOring to Join the
! American and Erin branches.

News has been received in Savannah by
leading members Of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians to the effect that the two
branches Of the Hibenian clan in this
country will be united.
1t is known that p. J. O'Connor, Esq,
of this city went north some time ago to
attend a meeting held in Trenton, N. j.,
for the express purpose OF advancing this
movement by which the American branch
and the Erin branch of the Hibernians
might be brought together.
The details OF the meeting held in Tren-
ton have not been given out, but 1t Is I'M
derstood that the purpose for which the
meeting was called was favoraby acted
upon. IL Is stated by those who attended
the meeting that amalgamation of the two
branches of the order Will be effected with
out a doubt This will be gratifying news
to the members Of the order, and partic-
ularly in Savannah for the reason that
this is known to have been the pet scheme
Of Mr.. O'Connor ever since he was elect
ed president.
Mr.. ]. J. Dillon, county president for
Chatham county, was seen yesterday by
a Morning News reporter, and asked con-
corning the reports as to the consolida-
ton Of the Drin and American branches.
He was unwilling TO talk further than to
say that he knew that such a movement
has been afoot for some time, and that
Mr.. O'Connor went north some time ago
to further the plan 10y which il was sug-
gested that the two branches might be
brought together. He declined to say any
thing further than this, declaring that he
would not know anything about the re-
suit Of the meeting at Trenton until Mr..
OConnor returns which will be within
the next few days.
1t is known that the Erin board, as II
has been known, is the mother of what
is known as the American branch There
was a division several years ago on some
slight technical ground, the two branches
sim continuing to work together for the
same common end. Since that time there
have been repeated efforts to bring the two
back together again. 1t is thought now
that the Erin board. as 1t is called, and
American branch have been successfully
welded together again, and it is thought
that National President O'Connor has had
a great deal to do with the much-desired
achievement.

RIGHTING A sTEEPLE.
TickIish Work On the Independent
Presbyterian Church Spire.

The work on the Independent Presby-
terrain church spire has assumed a very
interesting phase. The long steel rod,
which was lowered last Monday has been
raised from the ground to the top. The
sight of the steel rod. more than twenty
feet in length, and probably 500 pounds in
weight being raised through the air to
the steeple's hight Of more than 200 feet,
attracted many people. and passers-by
stopped to see the work.
The rod was securely tied with a rope
by Contractor o. II. Prindle, who is max
ing the repairs, and. hitching the other
end around one of the supporting colo
nades of the portico, eight or ten men
pulled the rod to its destination. A guide
rope was attached TO the rod and served
to prevent it's striking the successive
abutments and cornices that form the ia
cades of the steepe. The rope ran
through pulley on the top scantlings Of
the scaffolding built about the spires
top.
At opening midway between the base
and apex of the copper covered spire, it
was stopped, and, climbing to the opening,
the workmen drew 1t in as the rope was
gradually relaxed. The rod is the main
strength of the spire. 1t runs the great
q Reli VI alS lHtlS anu ny It's steer Nioo-
ITCHY, is security against the fall of the
spire during storms. The violence of the
blow last September threw the steeple
three feet out of the perpendicular, the
inclination being towards the northeast.
Mr.. Prindle says that such a rod as is
used in the spire should readily return to
the vertical If bent as much as four or
five feet He judges that the detection
caused by the storm must have been from
its failure to resume the perpendicular af-
ter having been bent as much as eight
feet The rod had an outer cylindrical cas-
sing, also of steel. which had to be cut
off and another put on while it was on
terra firma 1t has been placed in posi-
ton in the spire to-day and the weather
vane, with it's three gilded balls of ten,
20 and thirty inches diameter will be
again fixed at the highest point.

WAITING ON THE RATES.
No News of the Railroad Meeting at
Manhattan Beach.

The meeting at Manhattan Beach of the
Southeastern Freight Association was ad-
journed yesterday morning, and the Sa-
vannah officials, who attended, will reach
home tomorrow They were Freight
Traffic Manager D. F. Jack and General
Freight Agent z. b. Papy Of the Plant
system, and Traffic Manager e. II. Hinton
and General Freight Agent w. A. Win
burn of the Central railroad.
No advices were received at the general
offices here yesterday to indicate whether
the adjustment of rates on cotton and the
apportionment among the roads of the
staple. as outlined at the recent Atlanta
meeting, was ratified or not
There were three ines that re-
fused to accept the rate& and APP
portionments proposed at Atlanta. They
were the Georgia, the South Carolina and
Georgia and the Charleston and Western
Carolina. ..,
II is thought here that an
amicable adjustment of the differences
had probably been made by the associa-
ton Whether the majority gave way in
favor of the three roads demurring or
whether these roads acquiesced in the
views of the others is not known. 1t may
be that a considerable revision in the pro-
posed schedule may have been brought
about i'm order to restore complete harmo-
ny. In that event the matter of the Nor
folk differential in Savannahs favor may
nave undergone a change.

RIOT IN \ FREE-AND-EAsY
Marks Cohen and His Wife Beaten,
The Place TO BE Closed.


Considerable excitement was created in
Yamacraw last night by a row in Marks
Cohen's free and easy, at Mcguire and
River streets. in which Cohea and his
wife were both badly beaten.
The assault upon Cohen and his wife
was made by two drunken white men and
negro woman. Why the two wanted to
do up the Cohens could not be ascertained.
A telephone message was sent TO the
barracks that there was a riot at Cohen's
place, and several officers were sent TO
the scene. The two white men had es-
capped, but Gertrude Lawson. the negro
woman, who took part with them in che
row, was arrested by Policeman farrell.
The men will probably be arrested to-day.
The excitement subsidized upon the appear
ance OF the officers.
Chief McDermott said that he will notify
Cohen to-day to discontinue the dance han
connected with his establishment. The
place, the chief said. is OF the "blacl and
tan" variety. where white men and negro
women meet and is one of the toughest
dives in the city. Chief McDermott Is
in favor Of closing down al the free and
easies' as they have proven to be resorts
of the criminal classes.

MACON's KICK ON RATES.
Vice President EGan Does Not Think
IL Wei Founded.

IL Well Founded.
The objection of the Macon cotton fac
tors to the increased rate on the staple
out of that city, when northbound, is not
regarded by Vice President j. NJ. Egan of
the Central as entirely justihable.
The rate southwark or eastward is not
changed, and the Southeastern Freight
Association at its recent Atlanta meeting
only proposed an increase towards the
north This was to raise the differential
in favor Of Savannah and other southeast
ern ports against Norfolk, to prevent the
cotton from the formers territory being
shipped 10 the latter city.
Mr., Egan does not think that the in
crease of rates towards Norfolk will in
terfere with Macons receipts, as the rates
To Savannah remain the same and the IA
cilitles for foreign shipments from here
will soon be so increased and the rates so
reduced by the Georgia Export and
Import Company's vessels that the
charge viii be rather to Macon's advau-
tage. She viii be able to ship to Savau-
nah, which will be a shorter haul and at a
lower rate than to Norfolk, and can here
get ocean rates as low as those out Of Nor
folk
BY the ascending scale Of the differen-
tial as proposed at the recent meeting, be-
tween Atlanta and Macon, it is more than
likely that Macon's territory to the north
win be increased. The differental from
Atlanta I'm Savannahs favor is only 6
cents but this increases between that place
and Macon, from which place it is y
cents.
From points within a certain distance
above Macon 1t viii thus be likely that
shippers will send cotton to Macon. to-
wards which the rates are not increased.
rather than ship at the higher rate to Nor
folk. However, it was not known yester-
day what the action of the freight asso-
citation, which has been in meeting at
Manhattan Beach, had been and the whole
scheme of rates may have been changed.
