HE DENIES THE CHARGE.

Clerk Bailey Says the City Does Not
Grant Permits IndiscriminateIy.
Clerk of Council w. p. Bailey resents the
imputatlon made by Solicitor General Os-
borne in his argument in a gambling case
before the City Court Friday that the city
would grant permit to most anything
The case in question was that of an old
man named McCreary who had a permit to
run a spindle wheel, which he had con-
verified into a gambling game for the at
traction of the soldiers.
THE old man had no license from the
city to run a gambling game or any other
kind of game for that matter" said Mr..
Bailey. lie. had Al certificate from the or
dlnary's Office that he had Confedera te
veterans license 10 run a spindle wheel
and he simply asked for a permit Under
that state law he could have operated his
wheel anyway and the granting of a per-
nit by the city was merely a matter of
FORM He was warned that there must be
no gambling connected with the game and
promised that there would not be-"
Instead of granting permits indiserim-
inately" said Mr. Bailey, particular care
is taken not to grant permits or licenses
20 anything savoring of gambling. Some
times these permits are abused, but the
parties are Warned beforehand that there
must be no gambling. Mr.. Osborne would
do well to clear his own skirts before
criticising this office With slot machines
running in every saloon into which the
soldiers crowd in order to pour in their
nickels a spindle wheel run by poor old
man seems of very small Importance. In
der the former solicitor the proprietors of
these slot machines were indicted and
heavy penalties enforced, one man being
t.sent TO jail
The spindle wheel referred to is a con-
trivance with numbers something like a
wheel of fortune. prizes being awarded TO
certain numbers Sometimes money is
substituted for the prizes and the device
becomes a gambling game pure and sim

KICKED OVER A LAMP.

sleepy Waterman Causes IA Blaze
in Bryan street stables.
Fire Chief Mcguire had just hidden good
by to the Marlboro, Mass. firemen, and
was leaving the Pulaski House about 1879
o'clock last night when he noticed glare
in the street in front Of T. +. Gleason &
Co.'S sables. Hurrying there he found
the office of the stables ablaze and the two
negro employees engaged in fighting the
fire.
With the aid Of Chief Mcguire the blaze
was soon extinguisned with the use of
several buckets Of water. An investigation
by Chief Mcguire of the cause of the fire
developed that the negro on duty in the
Office had gone to sleep with his feet cooked
up on a small table on which there was a
lighted lamp. Forgetting the lamp in tis
slumbers he showed the table over with
his feet, throwing the lamp TO the floor
and starting a small co1fagration. The
negro promptly woke up and had presence
of mind enough 10 throw the burning lamp
into the street which was what attracted
Chief Magure's attention.
The blaze had already caught to the
newspaper files and other literature Hith
which the walls We're hung, however, and
with only a few minutes start the blaze
would have been a serious one. As it IS

Investigation of bull street Paving

The Bull street paving investigation by
City Council tomorrow night gives prom
Use of being pretty thorough, since the ex-
pressed intention Of all city officials con-
cerned IS to develop ali features of the
property owners complaint.
a large number OF witnesses, including
former laborers on the paving work, VII
be present. A number Of those who Will
testify have already been notified to at
tend the meeting. II is expected the
charge that the laborers were drunk half
the time, and while not drunk, were try
ing to get others to drink, viii be given
a good deal of attention. Commissioner
Willink is considerably disp!eased mat
such an accusation should be made, and IS
also concerned in the statement that the
complaint is a political fight on himself.
The property owners vigorously deny this,
however, and say their only contention is
that the matter be equtaby adjusted
81. is stated among other things, said
Mr.. c. f. Prendergast yesterday, THAT
the City Councils investigation of The
BuH street gravel pavement has taken
on political phase. While it may suit
the purposes of those under fire TO make
such a claim, as a plausible means of
0verting attention from the real merits
of the controversy, the truth is that
politics was not the inspiring motive OF
the widespread dissatisfaction with The
pavement and with the bills therefor. No
one familiar with local political conditions
can safely deny that both factions, and
the conservative non partisan element, as
well, were represented among the many
witnesses whose testimony against the
pavement Itself and the loose and eXtraVa-
CANT methods of its construction, were so
unanimous and damaging on last Thurs
day evening. That evidence impressivey
showed that prudent men, regardless of
factional affiliations, object 10 paying
hard-earned money for nothing; and the
attempt 10 attribute it to political bias
should not mislead the public
Il thoroughly agree with the anonymous
alderman whom you quote as saying that
'all tie city can expect from iaborers is
that they render an honest days work,
such as contractors and others are in the
habit of getting. II the city had obtained
such an equivalent as this in the mat
ter of the Bull street pavement, and a
proper quantity of the best material had
been used, the result would have been
an economical and satisfactory roadway
instead Of an expensive and offensive
quagmire; and there would have been no
foundation for the opposition which the
Bull street property of all fac
tons and OF no faction at ALL are now
exhibiting with such marked unanimty."
1t is understood City Attorney Adams
will conduct the examination in behalf of
the city, while the property owners also
expect to have an attorney present.

10 CONFER WITH GEN. REFER.
Committee VIII Discuss MiIitary's
Part in Presidential Programme.


Part in Presidential Programme.
1t is probable that tomorrow there will
be a consultation between members Of the
committee in charge of the arrangements
for the Presidents visit and Gen Keifer,
as to the part the military is to play in
the programme.
Gen. Keifer has as yet received no Off
cial notice from the war department of
the coming of the President. 1t is custo-
mary for the military to salute the Presi-
dent. At the coming conference the part
the troops are to pay in the programme
will be obtained and the committee will
then know what is ahead so far as that
important branch of the entertainment
provided for the presidential party is con-
cerned.
1t was stated last night that merchants
are showing more inclination to decorate
their places of business than in many
years and that the indications were that
the displays would be quite satisfactory
as an evidence of the public's appreciation
of the visit of the President and his cabi-
net.

ROUGH RIDERS ARRESTED.
Charged That They stole Animals
Belonging to the Government.

Charged That They stole Animals
Belonging to the Government.
Stealing government stock is the serious
charge preferred against some of the
Rough Riders who have been in Savan-
nah several days for the purpose of giving
a wild Vest exhibition. Yesterday four
of them were arrested, Capt. G. n. Shan
ton, veterinary surgeon; John G. Lee
Lieut.. E. D. Shirley and p NJ. Richard
son. Other arrests may follow the arrival
this morning of a witness from Jackson
vile, who was sent for yesterday in order
to establish case against some of the
party.
There is no question that the men were
members of the noted Rough Riders regi-
ment, and some of them are said to have
before that been in the regular army. The
arrests were made at the instance Of
Special Agent Norton. who has been in the
city two or three days working on this
and other government business. The men
are charged with the theft of a number
of government horses and mules from
Jacksonville, where they had been, it is
understood, placed in their charge.
The peculiar part of the whole affair is
that the men gave an exhibition at Jack
sonville before coming TO Savannah and
made no pretense of concealing their iden-
tity. They have advertised themselves as
freely as possible while here. Three
horses claimed 10 be government prop
erty, were seized yesterday at the stables
of T. F. Gleason & Co., where they were
being boarded, and four mules were taken
from the Feeley stables. The government
brands are said to have been burned off
of these animals. The arrested parties
claim ownership of some, at least, of the
stock. There is other stock claimed to
have been stolen, which will probably be
located and seized to-day
Assistant United States District Attor-
ney Leaken was busy on the case yester-
day, and will represent the government
in the prosecution. A. p. Wright Esq,
will represent the accused. The warrants
were sworn out by Provost Marshal Me-
Williams on the information furnished by
