HORNS STILL LOCKED
COUNlCi1IMIElN FA1IJDD TO COME TO
IAN JlNlDERs1lAINDlNG AT LAST
NuGnrS CAUCUS.

IAN UNDERSTANDINGS AT LAST
NIGHTS CAUCUS.
The deadlock over the election Of
successor t. the late George OlNell
still reigns supreme over the city
fathers, and there seems to be little
prospect OF an agreement.
1T was reported that the two factions
would meet last night and agree upon
some meth1d by which The seat now
vacant could be filled. But It was an
Illusion and a dream. as, although a
number Of the members gathered in
Council chamber and filled it with to-
bacco smoke and whispered confer
enoss, the subject Of coming to an I'm
Iderstanding was avoided as carefully
as a prisoner avoids the dead line.
Near.y an the members OF both
o.des OF the chamber were present, and
Colonel Letch acted as major-domo,
his face beaming with anticipation Of
the forthcoming battle again tonight.
In the meantime, office-holders are
beginning to equirm and search the
corners OF their pockets for a stray
coin, f,r It is long past pay day. and
the grocer, the butcher and the baker
must be paid. Already several Of them
have been compelled to "touch" their
friends for a loan, but they go at Il
with trembling footsteps end hesitat-
Ing voices. for it may be July before
they are ahe b repay the sum
loaned.
The Democratic members OF Council
are just as anxious. and probably more
so than their Republican brethren,
that the difficulty shall be adjusted and
routine business be resumed. But they
do not feel that they are being treated
fairly in the matter In the frst place
they claim that they are entitled to a
member OF Council from the First
ward. iuaemuch as that is Demo
cratic district. They ho.d that as the
past meetings have been nothing more
than an adjourned meeting, that moth
ing tut businezs which was being
transacted at the time ofthelast regular
meeting was adjourned can be taker
lup. And. again, they want to know
why, If the Republicans are so anx

Col Beiiinser is well pleased with the re-

WOULD NOT TAKE THE CANDY.
Nervous People Fear Death Turks in
Gifts of Sweets.


Anything for me-" inquired hand
somely dressed lady of the clerk at the
De Soto.
The clerk asked for the number of her
room and found that there was a package
awaiting her.
"A box of candy" he said, as he tender
ed 1t to the waiting guest.
"Candyr' she said in rising tones, "can-
dy for me. don't want it," and the lady
drew away from the innocent looking box
with white wrappings as though it were a
cobra.
The surprise on the clerks face could
not be overlooked.
There have been three or four people
poisoned recently by candy sent to them -
hastily added the guest. Il don't mind
dying when my time comes, but don t
want it FASTENED in any such way as
that"
The clerk looked at the package again.
1t bore the label of Savannah coEfec-
toner
This did not come by mail" said he,
'it was left here for you"
But the lady had the candy put back
in her box unopened.
Inquiry at the hotels showed that this
was not an isolated case. The recent pois-
onings have made nervous people appTe-
hensive and suspicious of gifts of sweets
from unknown sources. Many a box of
bon-bons, sent by some relative or friend
without accompanying letter, has proba-
bly, gone into the street through fear that
death lurked within.

WANT OFFICERS HANDS OFF.
PrIvntes From Maine Think Their
Wishes should BE Consulted.

The Maine Artillerymen, il given an
opportunity to vote on the question of
mastering out. will, it is said by the pri-
Yates. give an overwhelming majority in
favor OF retiring from the service. The
bulk Of the privates are anxious to GET
home and to their usual avocations- some
of the officers are also said to favor dis
banding the battalion But, from what
the men say, the greater number of the
officers are probably now, as they have
been in the past, in favor of staying In
the service.
The men are afraid that the officers are
eXerting their influence to that end. once
before, they say, before they left Maine
the order came to muster them out. The
officers put their pull" to work and the
order was rescinded. They are hopeful
thas there will be no repetition OF this
unpleasant experience this time. Two Of
the officers are In Washington, though,
they say, and they will not feel exactly
satisfied that they are really to be dis
missed from the army until they are on
the way back to Maine.
Talks with some Of the priVates yester-
day showed concusively that they want
20 get out. They viii certainly look uu-
kindly on any effort the officers may make
to keep them in. \ published statement
that the officers We're afraid for them TO
go back to Maine in mid-winter, and OK
pressing the belief that they would be un-
able to get work there is laughed at by
the men.
1--WE are willing TO take our chances on
the climate at home if they will put MS
back there" was about the way they all
expressed it, and they were not slow to
make public their confidence in their abb
Ky TO provide for their livelihood once
they get out of the army.
you might think we were a lot of no
boes, who had been gathered together"
said one of the men Indignantly. I'm
wager there are many OF the men who will
get employment as soon as any of the
officers, and make just as much money
too The privates should be allowed 20
speak for themselves. 1t is nonsense 10
let the officers act as mouthpieces for the
men when 1t comes to a question of mus
tering out. I don't blame an officer fol
wanting to stay in, but the officers should
not blame the privates for wanting to get
out, either. We are just as much volun-
teers as the officers, just as much entitled
to consideration and our desires in this
mastering out business should have more
weight than that of the officers. They have
had whatever good things were to be got
out of the army, we have got the poor
things. We are not complaining. If the
government needed us in active service I
do not think there is a man who would
want 70 back out; but it don't need as it
is willing to let us go home to private
life, and no political or personal pull of
the officers should keep us in for their own
benefit"
This was but sample The men want
to get out There is no doubt about that.
And everything points 10 their having their
wish gratifed within the next few days.

MEETINGS OF THE CLUBS,
Guards and Hussars Have Important
Business on For To-nfcht


Business on For Tonight.
The monthly meeting of the Savannah
Volunteer Guards will be held tonight.
1t is expected that some report will be
made by the committee appointed to look
into the proposed consolidation of the
three military clubs of the city. Some
progress along this line has been made.
1t is not anticipated that the report will
be final, but it is believed matters have
so shaped themselves as to admit of the
committee being able to forecast the
chances of the consolidation being
brought about
This being the first meeting night of the
new year, it is thought there will be quite
a good deal of business Several new
members will be received and a number
of designations will be handed In 1t has
always been the case that the first meet
ing of the year has brought in a number

nations to go before the corps

sars will also be held tonight Impor-
tant matters are to come before the troop.
1t is said some action may be taken rela-
tive to the Hussars forming the consoli-
dalton with the Guards and the Chat
hams. A meeting was held last week for
the purpose of considering proposed
amendments to the constitution. but these
were postponed until the annual meeting.
