Myers Forces Expected to show
Their Hand Then.
The meeting of the friends of Hon. Her
man Myers, which was TO have been held
at Masonic hail tomorrow night to ten
der him the nomination for Mayor, has
been postponed until Tuesday night.
Unless Mr.. Myers gives his friends to
understand positively that he will not ac-
cept the nomination, the meeting will be
held. and he viii be placed
in nomination. Mr.. Myers is stll coy and
uncertain, but his friends expect a posi-
tive answer from him in a day or two
before Tuesday night, anyway. There is
very little reason to doubt, however, that
he win be a candidate. One of his strong
est supporters said yesterday that, While
Mr.. Myers had not yet said he will run,
the chances are nine out of ten that he
will be in the race. Those who have
taken the most active part in bringing Mr.
Myers forward as a candidate have taken
it for granted that he would be one, and
as a result there has been great activity
among the Myers forces during the last
few days. There have been frequent con-
ferences, and II was evident that plans
are being laid for the campaign.
The plan is to place the entire ticket in
nomination at Tuesday nights meeting
and, it is claimed, that when the ticket
it announced, there will be some surprises
The work of making up the ticket has
been very quietly carried on during the
last few days, and those who are in posi-
ton to speak by the card state that the
committee which has this matter in hand
has met with success from its stand
point.
Those who have this matter in charge
are not saying yet who will compose the
ticket. Among the names talked of are
George w. Tiedeman, Jacob Paulsen,
James M. Dixon. Adolph M. LETTER. Albert
c. Wylly, Joseph Ferst, J. A. G. Carson.
Capt. Thomas Screven, Hal H. Bacon, W.
r. Hopkins and others. These names
were not obtained from official sources.
however, but are simply among those who
are being discussed by friends of Mr. NY
ers generally as likely to be given a place
on the ticket.

SmnII's Funeral Drawing Card for
Them.
Marc Antony's oratory over the dead
body of Caesar was challenged al the Ar
mold Street Baptist Church yesterday. The
event was the funeral of Abe Small, whose
remains came near going to the Potter
field, but were taken in charge by chart
table colored people, who desired to give
them a better burial.
1t is not usual for the obsequies of col
ored people to be attended by the pomp
Had he come to life about 800 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, the situation would
have been puZzhng. Arnold street, from
President to little lane south of it, was
packed with a mass of negroes, discussing
the desperado's crime, the injustice of his
conviction, and the gallant way he met
death. The extremely ignorant didnt
know Abe requested to be hanged in his
shirt sleeves and charged that the Off
Gals wouldn't even give him coat 20
be hung in" The crowd surged to and
fro like Arabs, some cursing out the law,
while others wanted all to know they

When apparently about 800 negroes had
emerged from little structure twenty feet
square, the bell began tolling irregularly,
and the remains were brought to the
hearse. The crowd in the street had been
given a chance to review the remains, but
they wanted to see it all, and therefore
swept toward the hearse. There was no
delay in getting ready to leave, however,
and in a moment, the procession started
for the colored section of Laurel Grove
cemetery, where a lot had been bought
through contributions.
The co.ored ministers who conducted the
service did not pirate on Smals limo

Church. and Revs. H. L. Hayward and

If a jeweler were to offer you solid gold
or genuine diamonds at half value you
would know that there was something
wrong, and would naturally question the
quality of the goods offered Why? be-
cause such goods can't be sold that way
If one offered a splendid new $3.50 $50
called piano at half price your good
sense. judgment and intelligence would be
assailed and you would naturally regard
such an offer as pure rot. Correct! Old
established dealers having the welfare of
the purchaser at heart and their own rep
utation at stake, will not handle such
goods, though the immediate profit be
greater than upon the standard line.

Gently for supplies of vari Gus kinds ship

repairs upon them. Their mounts ranged
from one 10 two dollars up into the thous-

figures. They were the unroistakable evil
dences of the substantial benefits that re-
suit 10 Savannah from it's u sc as the point
of embarkatiOn for troops to Cuba.
Not a transport comes in. but requires
the expenditure of large sums of money.
70 Just as great an extent as possible the
supplies are bought here it being the in
tention to patronize the local concerns
whenever their prices are reasonable and
they are able to furnish what is desired.
II is seldom that they cannot provide

Heavy purchases OF coal, wood. lumber,
forage, etc, are made every time a trans

there is work to be done that requires
skilled mechanics and gives profitable en-

On the last trip of The Roumanian there
were several workmen carried from Savan-

lighting arrangements and other machin-

is now in port, there is also much work to
be done A new pump Is to be put in,

otherwise there viii be enough matters

There are no figures obtainable as to the

Is about all the average business man
gets from his labor, the balance of his
earnings, above what is taken to support
his family, goes right back into his busi-
ness. All good enough, if he is success
full. Suppose he continues in this way for
ten years, and were then to fail in BUSH
ness, his ten years of labor would be lost
to him Suppose, now, he takes a sum
such as he pays one of his clerks and
were to put it into a policy in the Massa-

good many dollars and on the happening
of a contingency the amount of cash or
paid-up insurance is as easily available as
if it were in bank. Besides his policy
when the proper beneficial interest is writ
ten therein, cannot be attacked by his
creditors. The handsome annual cash div
idend paid by the company makes the in
vestment a profitable one, and if neces-
sary he can borrow a liberal amount from
the company to help him, should a rainy
day come. Think 1t over, and you will

MAYOR MELDRIM A COLONEL.
Is Now Second in Command of the
First Georgia Cavalry.

1t is now Col P. W. Medrim. His COM
mission has arrived from the Governor,
and the Mayor of Savannah is the next
officer in command Of the First Regiment.
Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers.
Col. Aieldrim was elected to the lieuten-
ant colonelcy of the regiment some weeks
ago and a short while since he stood his
examination before the board and passed
very creditably.
Col. E. p. Miller is in command Of the
regiment, and the first squadron IS com
manded by Maj. J. J. Brewer. There IS
a vacancy the majority Of The second
squadron having been given up by Maj.
Brewer when Maj. Meldrim was advanc-
ed to the lieutenant cclonelcy. An cleo
ton to fill this vacancy has been ordered
for Jan "a, and all the commissioned ON
GERS Of the regiment Will be entitled 10
vote on that date.
Capt. Beirne Gordon Of the Georgia ius-
sars, the ranking captain in the regiment
win be elected major. There is no doubt
of this, as the only captain who might
have been expected 10 oppose him mas as
sured him that he win not do so and dis
claimed the seniority that some few IN the
regiment have been mistaken in thinking
il belonged to him rather than TO capt
Gordon. AS commanding officer of his troop
Capt. Gordon has made a record OF when
he may well be proud, and the members OF
his command and his friends predict that
he viii win as many laurels as major OF
the regiment.
The promotion of Capt. Gordon viii,
when it has taken place, can for an cleo
ton in the Hussars. The choice of com
missioned officers in the troop comes slow
ly, as the positions are those that bear an
honor with them that incumbents do not,
as a rule care to give up by resigning
Promotions do not, therefore, follow in
rapid order.
First Lieut.. Henry McAlpin will be the
commanding officer when Capt Gordon
goes up, and Lieut. c. l.. Cunningham will
be next in command. This will mean that
a captain win be chosen and that a second
lieutenant will be taken from the ranks.
For a long time promotions ire the Hussars
have followed the line, and there is no rea-
son to believe that in these cases the rule
will be deviated from.

PAVING CASES SETTLED.
Liberty Street Assessment Litigat ton
at an END.

Liberty street Assessment Litigation
at an END.
The Liberty street paving cases which
have occupied a prominent place in the
history of Chatham county litigation for
nearly a decade, appear to be in fair
way to be settled at last. Nineteen of these
cases were marked settled in the Super
Tor Court yesterday. There are now only
twelve cases left on the docket and these
will doubtless take the same course as
the others. The cases settled were those
against c. NJ. Hoist, Thomas Ballantyne,
estate L. G. Richards NJ. J. Murphy, w.
G. Bunoch trustee; T. H. Harden, cs-
tate H. Brigham, b. S. Purse two cases;
Joseph Cops, c. S. de LaRoche, b. Goode,
Miss NJ. r. Heineman, Nicholas Lang,
Never Mendel. Mrs. w II. McCAath. es-
tate Jacob Quint and Mrs. l.. H. Purse.
The amounts in these cases varied from
less than 500 to over $500, so that the
city treasury is several thousand dollars
richer as a result.
The litigation began with the attempt
of the city TO collect the paving assess
ments for the paving of Liberty street.
II was claimed that the action of the city
in improving the street and assessing ibe
Droperty owners under the act of the leg
is,ature of 1887 was irregular and without
proper authority. The legal battle was
a long one and the cases have been sew
eral times taken to the Supreme Court,
the result being favorable to the city.

PAYMAsrEa.s CLERK DEAD.
Wr. Herman L. BIncIs's sudden Death
Ernn, Henri Dfsense.

Mr. Herman L. Black. clerk to Army
Paymaster J. J. Bulls was found dead
yesterday morning in his room adjoining
the Office Of Maj. Bulls at the residence
of Mrs Margaret Cavanaugh, PA Lincoln
street, just south OF Colonial Park His
death is attributed to heart disease. There
were no indications of apoplexy, and Moth
ing 10 lead 70 "a suspicion of self-destruc-
ton or Of violence.
MIR. Black has been located here APP
preaching three months, having come to
Savannah with the paymaster. Mai Bull
lis left the city few days ago on a tour
of several camps TO pay off scattered regi-
ments. Mr. Black was left in charge He
had recently had an attack of the grip,
and complained on several occasions to
friends of his heart troubling him, and at
tri5uted it 10 the effects of the grip. Last
Friday night about o'clock he was in
the paym1sters office writing personal let
ters, with two photographs of an actress
at TivoH Music Hail before him. He had
become much attached to her, and four
of her photographs adorned his room The
landlady brought him up some letters, and
this was the last she saw of him alive.
Soon after he left the house Later in
the night, probably after 10 O'Clock, he was
heard TO enter the room. and there was
the sound of chair falling, as though
he had stumbled over it, Yesterday morn
ing nothing was seen of him. The office
was not opened, and when the mail was
brought it was noticed that the gas was
burning BY climbing over an adjoining
piazza a view of his room was obtained
and his body was seen on the bed. A
policeman was summoned and broke in
the office.
Mr.. Black had evidently dropped on the
bed within a minute or two after he en-
tered the bedroom. His hat and umbrella
were near the body, and he had made
no start toward undressing. The body was
turned over 10 Coroner Goette, and
guard was put over the office. But little
information could be obtained as to Mr..
Blacks antecedents. He had stated that
both his parents are dead, and that he
had no near relatives. His former home
was believed to have been Boston, Mass.
He was probably % years old. The body
will be embalmed and held to await the
return of Maj Bulls
The actress referred to came by the
house soon after the body had been re-
moved, and was informed of Mr. Blacks
death. She appeared greatly distressed,
and went to the corone-'s office There
she received her photographs, and stated
that she was engaged to the dead man.
Coroner Goette telegraphed a friend of
Black in Jacksonville and received a re-
ply stating that Blacks real name was
Johnson, that his initials would be found
on his umbrella. The coroner found the
initials as stated. The telegram also stated
that Black or johnson was a member of
Larallette Commandory of Knights of Nal
ia of Walthour, Mass. 1t was stated that
the dead man was upright and honorable
but gave no reason for his going under
an assumed name.

HIS PLUMED PATRICK HENRY.
Another Eagle in Training for Com

ing Fourth of JuIys.
Mr. John Rourke has a new eagle for
his iron foundry. AS might be expected,
it is a native American product, and
probably of Georgia birth, at that. 1t was
captured in the mountains by a hunter
the other day. Hearing a great commo-
ton in the bush into which his dog had
run, the hunter pushed his way in and
found his dog about to go to pieces I'M
der the talons of the eagle.
Before the bird could disengage itself
the hunter knocked it over with his gun
This is how it has come to grace Savan-
nah, rather than the crags of Georgia s
hills. The bird is a fine healthy specimen
and is expected to get quite tame in a
short time. Its owner has gone back. TO
