should elect two nsen VINO take so high
d view OF the duty OF public service
seems TO indicate the cheering fact
that intelligent men and women all
over the nation are waking up 10 the
fact that American politics needs clean
ing 1t also indicates the glorious fact
that the better elements Of the commu
mites are making themselves felt IN poll
tics at the caucus. at the primaries. at
the convention and at tslemSOlls. Every
man is getting pitctforl1 and the stables
are being cleaned. Roosevelt and Stan
ley are the first war horses in American
politics who have been groomed in clean
stalls.
As q. result. politics-in Kansas certain
", and probably in New York-is assun-
ing a new and strange aspect. There is
no thea Quarters at Topeka where Tom,
Dick and Harry are pulling and hauling
for places; there is no talk Of satisfying
this gang by this appointment or that
gang by the other appointment. There is
only talk of the ability OF the candidate
to do the work for which he draws state
taxes Politics for tax payers Is branch
Of business. and so long business men
neglect it the money spent in taxes Will
be foolishly speTt, but when business men
attend to politics there will he a careful
expenditure of the business mans invest
ment in public taxes
Men like Roosevelt and Stanley will see
to it that the peoples money is properly
spent They are not elected to make har-
mony in the party by silencing the de-
cent element and giving Offices to the fix
ers." Stanley knows his duty. If his
works are as fair as. his words Kansas
will have an administration that will put
her back in the stars. But looking back
over the past few veal rs, the citizen Is
compelled to admit that the ad astra has
been over terribly rocky and unhappy
ways.

THINKS It BUHCOM4[
Cubbon Moved Street Car
Franchise be Forfeited.
CONTRACT Is GIVEN
So a Telegram from Mr..
Church Stated.

There was just a quorum present last
night at the regular meeting OF the city
| council. The session was a quiet one,
with the exception that Mr. Reese gave
some encouraging news regarding the
street car situation and Mr.. Cubbon in
troduced a resolution to have the fran
chise forfeited at the next meeting
Those present were Volk, Reese, Nc
Lain, Cubbon, Allen. Smith and Crib. Mr..
Herbig came In late.
The minutes Of the last meeting were
read and with a slight change were ap-
proved.
The committee on fire and water made a
report Of the purchase OF 1000 feet of
hose. 1t was accepted.
Chief Walden, at the request of the
mayor, told briefly why the hose purchas-
ed at the price was taken in preference
to the others. Virtually there were only
three competitors according TO the specifi-
cations. Mayor Ross was the one who
secured the 200 feet Of garden hose free,
telling the representative of the company
that Wichita had d very fine park and
that they needed 200 feet of hose very
much in the summer. The representative
agreed to send IL.
Mr.. Reese, chairman Of the street rail-
awy committee, said that Mr.. II. B.
Church had telegraphed his brother, W.
Q. Church, that J. Holt Gates & Co. had
been Dacified and the contract awarded
to Frank P. Reahill of New Jersey. Con-
tinuDg, he said that work would COM
mence in earnest Immediately, and that
$4,000 would be expended on the car lines
and electric light plant, besides the
amount necessary to get the present COM
pany Cknown as the Bachelors) out of the
way. This will make the aggregate about
$3.50. 900.
Mr.. Cubbon arose and said: 81 have Wis
tied the place where the company are
now said to be at work, and have found
sometimes as many as ofur men at work.
The rails are not the weight called for in
the contract. 1 think it is a, clear case
Of buncombe. 1 don't believe they ever
intend to do anything. I move you that
if they don't begin work before the next
regular meeting the franchise be declared
forfeited
The motion was lost, the vote resulting
as follows. Yea-Cubbon and McLaIn;
No-Gribi. Allen Smith, Reese, Volk. Mr..
Herbig had just entered and not having
heard the remarks, did not care to vote.
Mr.. Cubbon moved that the council go
into executive session before adjourning.
The claims and accounts eyre read and
ordered referred TO the proper committees.
A communication from the secretary Of
the State Municipal association was re-
ceived, which invited the council and Of
fiers 20 attend the meeting which is to be
held in Fort Scott on December 13. The
communication was placed on file and as
many as could were asked to go.
The following ordinance was read, and
on motion of Mr.. Volk the rules were sus-
pended and the ordinance placed on its
passage. Carried. The ordinance is as
follows:

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-09-01
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER l. 1885,

during the interval that the telephone sys-
TEN and alarm boxes were not properly
working.
The city was well patrolled in the after
noon and at night, detachments of men
being assigned from each company, Dur
ing the day men from the several COM
ranies were utilized TO cut hanging wires
and put the streets in such condition that
they would permit Of the passage Of the
apparatus without danger of the horses or
men being killed by live wires The de-
partments electrical system viii probably
be In good working order by tonight.
The Brush Electric Light Company had
its linemen at work early in the morning
and kept them out until a late hour, re-
moving dangerous wires, stringing new
wires and otherwise setting the system in
working order. BY night the incsndescent
system was all right. but the are light
current was not turned on. While some
parts of the city could have been fur
nished with arc lights, 1t was regarded as
too dangerous TO send out the powerful
current with so many loose wires about
town, some of which might have been
overlooked and caused death to an I'M
fortunate pedestrian.

Yamacraw Had n Scare, But the
Damage Was Small.

Damage Was Small.
The west side of the city was ruggedly
picturesque yesterday. The torrents Of rain
had cut gulleys in the unpaved streets,
panoramic view OF green greeted the eye
In all directions and there was an ocea-
slonal touch Of red coloring where a tin
roof had changed its resting place and
mingled with the sand of the roadway.
Everywhere there were ample signs of an
upheaval
Outside of the work of nature there
were numerous groups of negroes talking
of their personal experiences. some de-
plotting with wonderful vividness the
scenes of the black hours of night when
houses shook and water soaked their hum
BILE homes. Many freely confessed that
fear had seized them and that for hours
they mad prayed and sang together with
fervency bred of alarm.
Yamacraw and the territory beyond In
common with other parts of the city, lost
some chimneys, a number of tin roofs and
enough trees to cut quite a swath in its
shade next summer. In addition 1t suf-
fered some especial damages that will be
of public interest. At the Savannah brew
cry the frail brick wall was partly de-
molished and the condenser lost Its roof.
Considerable tin roofind was torn from
the Elannery cotton warehouses. AT
tloyds cotton packery part of the brick
wall was demolished and the roofing suf-
fered, A negro Baptist church on Lum-
Der street, near Pine, formerly old houses,

Daughtry Is seeking a new place for wor-
ship. The Methodist brethren around the
corner on West Boundary, the flock of Rev.
Robinson, are also depioring the loss of
their sanctuary 1t is now pile of humber.
The smolestacks of the asphalt works, on
the same street. are sadly out of plumb.
The Southern fertilizer works may be
quite heavy loser. The roof of it's nitre
house was blown away, leaving 600 sacks
of nitre exposed to the rains. About so
feet of the roof of a warehouse holding
cotton seed meal, muriate, blood etc,
was carried off and the stock beneath
damaged. The guano storage warehouse
also suffered, the roof being thrown open
to the water over a space of fifty feet.
At Bacons and Smart's mills the dam
age is reported as sliglre
On the great wharf property of the Cen
trail Railroad and Ocean Steamship Com
pany the force of the wind was success
fully resisted. Not a single shed gave
way and there was no damage to re-
port. Agent Trezevant kept close watch
on the wharves and rosin yards and Chief
Engineer Hunter made thorough inspec-
ton of all of the company's property. A
few hundred dollars-probably less than
five hundred-will cover all the losses sus-
tained, either at the railroad yards or on
the steamship wharves. The rosin yards
were filed with surface water from the
rains, but there was no overflow.

Laurel Grove FOrtunate-BOnaven

The cemeteries are not believed to have
suffered much injury. Laurel Grove for
tunately escaped with comparatively lit
tie Superintendent Kennickell- made a
tour of the grounds early in the morning
and found that here were probably not
over ten trees down thaOwould have to
be removed, the quantity of rubbishcwas
small, and but two tombstoneso had been
thrown down. The picket fence had been
leveled to the ground0 He believes the
cemetery can be speedily put in proper
shape with the regular hands without
additional expense to the city.
Il The reports from Bonaventure and the
Cathedral cemeteries are that neither suf
fered as severely as in theostorm of two
years ago and in thee preceding. storms.
The principal damage is to the trees by
the breaking of branches ando limbs and
the litter1ng of the avenues and walks
with their debris. 1t will take a short
time to repair all the damage that can
be repaired

The stock of M s. & D. A. Byck suf-
fered somewhat from water. owing to the
removal of part of the roof of their Bay
street building.
The tin roof was removed from Gill
berts coffee roasting establishment on
the Bay, near West Broad.
The roofs of the three two-story houses,
-, IA and 16 West Broad street, were
blown off about 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Fireman Kelly lives In one of the
houses, and Mr.. J. E. Burke in another.
The firemen from headquarters aided in
removing the women and children and
the furniture.
Out in the suburbs many houses and
buildings were deluged. At SaclSville the
Golden Spring Baptist Church, Rev. J. j.
Jones, pastor, was demolished. Another
small church and a number of houses in
the same locality were blown down.
One result of the storm that directly af-
fected many householders as we'll as all
the hotels and restaurants, was the dearth
of vegetables. None of the usual vendors
were to be seen on the streets, and the
market was practically deserted.
The tin roof on the piazza of Col. ]. H.
Estilfs house, only partly put on, was
blown off. The new cornice of the house,
in which he is now living, No. 1907 Whit
aker, was also blown off There was also
considerable damage from the leaks.

THE MAILS DISARRANGED.
These From the North and West
Failed to Arrive.

W
Up to midnight Savannah was short two
mails only, and they were mails that
were scheduled to arrive late yesterday
afternoon and last night. The morning
and noon mails came in practically on
time. The mail from the North, coming
on No 81, of the Florida Central and Pen
insular. and scheduled to arrive at $40
o'clock, o. M, Savannah time, will not
be here until some time to-day, and per-
haps not until tomorrow. The Western
mail scheduled to arrive on the Central
train at D. M, Savannah time, had not
arrived up to midnight and there is
prospect of it's not getting in until late to-
day. although there is no positive infor-
nation on this point.
All mails out from Savannah were got
off except the West bound mail, sched-
uled to leave on the Central at 10 o'clock
last night. This did not leave, as word
was sent the postoff1ce that the train
could not get out owing to bad washouts.
Mails, usually sent over the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular to points which could
be reached by the Plant System, We're
sent out on the trains of the latter road.
