The French Grand Opera Company will
sing two operas at the theater tomorrow
"Il Trovatore" will be the bin at the mat

engagement, before the opening of the
opera season in New Orleans, and an open
night permitted a stop over in Savannah
The company is the celebrated Frsn h
Opera Company which sings annually in
New Orleans. II was booked last season
in Savannah, but the date was afterwards
cancelled.
The theater management is under heavy
expense in making this engagement. The
date of THE Real Widow Brown" at
traction had to be cancelled and it is hoped
that the operas win be wen attended and
that the enterprise of the management
viii be justified and appreciated.
When the opera company plays in New
Orleans the best seats bring s., but Mana
ger Weis has decided not 10 go above the
limit charged by the best organizations
which play here and the prices will be
from $50 down. The sale of seats will

The company numbers ninety people
with an orchestra of fifteen pieces and a
splendid chorus. There are some eminent
artistes in the organization and the en-
gagement will be one of the events of the

GAVE THE COUNTY LANDS.
Diedrich Grimm Provided for the
Right of Way of Casey Canal.

The County Commissioners held
their November meeting yesterday
afternoon. Although little but rod
tine business was transacted, the
meeting had in It the germ of more
than usual interest A number of conces-
sions that had been made by various citl-
zens were reported to the board and ac-
ton taken thereon.
Mr.. Deidrieh Grimm gave the right of
way through his lands in Sackvile for
the Casey canal. This transaction had been
virtually perfected some time ago. but the
delivery of the deed had never been made
until yesterday. The grant of the right
of way Is conditioned upon the agreement
of the county 20 build a bridge over ,he
canal that viii permit Mr. Grimm and
those claiming under him free egress and
ingress to his property.
The report of Superintendent Chaplin
showed that the daily average of con-
victs employed on the public works OF the
county was 26S These had been distrlb-
uted throughout four camps and had all
done good work for the county from the
beginning until the end of the last fiscal
month. A majority of them had been en-
gagged in digging laterals for the Buck
halter canal, so as to complete the sys-
TEN of drainage. contemplated in the con-
struction of this canal. to the points of
the county which the main channel did not
reach. This work is nearing completion.
Other of the convicts have been digging
bitches and filling In the right-of-way Of
the Augusta road. The design of this
work is to increase the comfort and con-
venience of the passengers and made the
road what it mas always been intended to
be-one of the best in the county. Another
gang of conVicts has been filing up the
old Casey canal, through the lands of the
estate of Sack, and arranging the new
system for effective operation throughout
the lands it is intended to drain. The
report of the superintendent showed also
the amount OF feed and provisions that
had been distributed to the various con-
Wet camps throughout the month from the
county farm, which showed the effective
and beneficial work that the farm is doing
and the amount il is saving to the public,
The commissioners passed for payment
bills against the county to the amount OF

OTHER PLACES WILL REMAIN.

The three companies that have decided
TO go to Louisville to attend the national
reunion of Confederate veterans next May
provided they are invited, viii not be at
a loss for a place to visit If the invitation
is not Forthcoming, for cities seem to be
coming to the front with bids for military.
If a military day is decided upon by the
committee of Louisville cirzens that has
the reunion in charge, the Savannah com
panies will probably be invited. In that
case the present intention will undoubted-
~ be adhered to and the trip taken.
washington, It is understood, is already
figuring on a big military affair for next
wear. 1t Is to be commemorative of some
event in American history, and efforts will
be made to attract military and other Wis
itors from all over The country. That
would offer a brilliant substitute for the
Louisville trip If 1t should turn out that
the veterans do not care Tor the younger
soldiers to be present.
Nearer home there is to be another cele-
bration. The Macon Volunteers want TO
have a big affair in Macon next April
when they observe the saventy-hfth ami
versary of their organization. the NoIun-
teers are one OF the best companies in the
STATE, composed of the best young men OF
Macon. and il is quite probable they would
get up something interesting in the shape
of a display and entertainment If the talk
ed-of project is carried out
All this attention to the military indi-
Gates that the volunteer soiliery Is climb
ing up in the estimation of the country
That is what an officer had to say of the
situation yesterday. He is quite confident
that an era of prosperity is opening Up
for the state forces throughout the coun-
try, and he hopes. in common with many
others, that il win be shared by the Geor-
sia Volunteers. What is wanted particu-
larly in this state, the officer said, is an
aDpropriation from the Legislature.

GERMAN VOLUNTEERS BALL.

Enjoyed by Many.
The German Volunteers have given many
elegant social affairs, but few in their
history have surpassed that last night at

several hours. 1t was at an early hour
this morning that the merry-makers final

and eongratulating the company upon its

1t was to the energy and ability of the

The committee understood lis duties and
discharged them well.
Without their lady friends assistance
the company would have been lost. A
band of fourteen worked untiringly for the
ball, and The supper that was partaken of
by all who attended testified in its COM
pleteness to the efforts the ladies had
made. The table decorations were beau

they stood for the admiration of those so
fortunate as to share the feast The fol-

WORK TO BEGIN DEC 1.
House Drainage to BE Done by Di-
rector of Public Works.

The House Drainage Committee held an
other meeting yesterday. and will meet
again to-day. The committee is getting
things In shape to make a decisive report
70 The next meeting OF Council, If, indeed,
special meeting is not called for the
purpose.
As announced several days ago by the
Morning News the committee has decided
that The house drainage work shall be
taken up and carried to completion by the
city. The work VIII be undertaken by the
public works department, the Director Of
Public Works assuming the place Of the
contractor. Director Gadsden has been no
lifted by the committee to ascertain where
and on what conditions the necessary ma
chinery and supplies can be obtained by
the city.
Director Gadsden, in speaking of the
matter. said that in conserving to under
take the work he did so with the under
standing that the firm of Waring, Chap
man & Farquhar shall continue the engi-
neerng supervision. and that he shah be
empowered TO employ labor at contractors
prices, as Otherwise the cost Of the work
would be greatly increased.
When asked a bout the matter yesterday,
Mayor Myers said THE city VIII prob
ably be ready to begin operations about
Dec. l. There is now about $4,000 in the
city treasury 20 the credit Of house drain
age, which Is all that will be needed for
that month. Provision will, Of course, be
made for continuing the work In next
years budget. 1t is proposed to complete
the work within the time contemplated in
the Miles q Bradt contract, that is, within
two years.
The only matter now under debate by
the committee Is the question of the SUI
pervis.on Of the work by Mr.. Chapman,
which has not yet been determined. Mr..
CHAPMAN stul contends that his former
contract with the city holds good and Is
unwilling TO agree to any change. He has
been authorized to go ahead with the prep
arations for resumiug work under his old
contract, which allows 10 per cent. upon
the cost of the work.

Those that died have long since been burn
