LECTURE NOT DELIVERED.
Rain Prevented Many People From
Hearing Mr.. StovaH.

Mr.. Pleasant A. Stovall did not deliver
his lecture, 1.-THE Land of Manana," at the
theater last night The weather was too
threatening to admit of the holders of
tickets venturing out. A number of Ma
sons, for the benefit of whose temple as
ISOLATION the lecture was to have been
given, were present. They decided to post
pone it until later.
1t was at first thought Friday night
would be suitable time, but the decision
to have the lecture then was reconsidered
and the Masons agreed TO allow the date
to remain unsettled. The lecture has not
been called off, however, and the holders
of tickets will yet have an opportunity to
hear it.
The band of the Third Georgia Regiment
was on hand according to agreement. 1t
played several pieces that were enjoyed
by the Masons and a few others present.
1t will be regretted, when the lecture is
delivered, that the band of the Third
cannot be present 20 add to the entertain
ment.

THEY WILL MAKE A CONTEST.
Collins and sheftaH win Serve quo
Warranto Wrfts.

The successful candidates at the city
Council election tonight Will take charge
Of their respective offices Thursday While
the successful candidates for clerk and
sheriff of the City Court Will also take
charge. as the others, they will have to
combat quo warranto proceedings for the
purpose of testing the legality of their
holding the offices.
Clerk Collins and Sheriff Sheftall Of the
city Court will begin the proceedings in
the Superior Court and expect to have a
decision on their contest in the Supreme
Court in the course of ten days.
As has been stated in the Morning News,
the point they raise is as to the constitu-
tionahty of the bin providing for their
election. They claim the caption of the
bill has reference to city officers" and
claiming TO be county officers" them
se.ves, they viii urge the constitution has
heen violated by including subject matter
in the bin which was not referred to in
the caption. The position the city VIII
take is that these are city officers. The
litigation will be commenced in the SUI
perior Court, but as soon as Judge Fall
CANT renders his decision, the case will he
promptly sent TO the Supreme Court. by
whom it will be finally passed upon. When
this is done the question VIII be set
tied.
Sheriff Sheftail was seen yesterday. He
said he felt fully justified in taking steps
against whoever the City Council may
elect He explained that he was not try
ing to hold on to an office to which he
had no claim. Inasmuch as the provision
in the bill which refers TO the clerk and
sheriff of the City Court is Illegal be-
cause against the constitution, he does
not think he is pursuing the wrong course
in claiming that his term of Office has
not been changed and that he has one
year yet to serve
Mr.. Sheftal said he would not go to At
lanta himself, but that attorneys had been
engaged to fight the case in the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Alex. A Lawrence has man
aged it all along, and will probably make
the argument in the court above, though
1t may be there will be associate counsel.
The outcome of the case will be watched
with much interest. Mr.. Sheftall ex-
presses the opinion he will not be out of
office great while AS soon as the opin-
ion of the court is handed down, if il IS
favorable to the genetlemen who will be
ousted. they will be returned to their old
places.

FIGHT FOR FIRE CHIEF.
Mcguire, Pudcr and HanIey All Hope
to BE Winners.

The situation in the fire chief fight
which is TO be decided by Council tonight
appears to be unchanged. Mr.. Michael
Hanly's friends assure him that he is
certain of election. Ex-Chief W. y. Puder
says that his assurances of support war
rant him remaining in the race ana Fire
Chief Mcguire says the same thing. The
latter. however does not claim that he
has a majority but trusts that with a d.
vision in Council as to the choice of can
ddates he may be retained. Among the
administration supporters the fight is said
to be between Hanly and Puder with the
chances in favor of the former.
Fire Chief Mcguire called upon several
of the aldermen yesterday in his own be-
half and among other arguments produced
strong endorsements from Messrs. Cum
ningham and HUI, respectively chairman
and vice-chairman Of The fire commission
which was recently abolished. As Messrs
Cunningham and Hun were both APP
poiutees of the present administration
Chief Mcguire felt that their opinions
should have weight with the board. Mr.
Hull in particular is well known TO have
been strongly opposed to Chief Mcguire
previous to his appointment as a member
OF the fire commission, TO accept when he
RESIGNED his place as a member OF Coun-
oil

Mr.. Edwards Got Part of 1t and Mr..
Mendel Some.
The effects of The Journal Printing Com
pany were disposed of yesterday at re-
ceiver's sale, by order of the Superior
Court. The sale was at the late Office of
the defunct company, at Congress and
Drayton streets. Mr. c. Fl. Dorsett acted
as auctioneer
The boiler, engine, stereotyping outfit
and composing room material were bid in
by Mr.. Charles w. Edwards, the manager
and one of the proprietors of the Journal,
for $1,000. The Journal press was bid in
by Mr.. Selig Mendel for $1,000 after some
lively bidding between himself and Mr..
Edwards. Mr.. r. L. Colding purchased
a desk for $26, and other pieces of furni-
ture went to various parties The results
of the sale amounted to about $500.
Mr.. Mendel holds a mortgage upon the
property of the Journal Printing Com
pany for $1,000, representing two notes, one
to himself, as trustee, for $500, and the
other to ]. B. Tidwell for the same
amount. Mr.. Edwards, the late manager
of the paper, also has a claim against the
company for material furnished and cash
advanced of about SO, 600

the disposition of the receipts from athe
sale, on accounts of employees liens and
other claims against the property An in

MEETING WAS POSTPONED.
Charitable Association Members Did
Not Appear.

Not Appear.
A meeting of the Charitable Association
of Savannah was to have been held last
night in the lecture room of the First
Presbyterian Church, but the Indictment
weather prevented. The president, Hon.
P. w. Meldrim, Mr.. William Kehoe DR..
f. r. Corson and Relief Agent Wakelee
were all who were present, and after wait
ing until o'clock to see if any additional
members might put in an appearance,
these gentlemen decided to call another
meeting for next Monday night at the
same place. when 1t is hoped the weather
will be more favorable, as the members
of the association are anxious to see a de-
cision reached as to what course shall be
pursued with regard to its continuance.
Mayor Meldrim is DESTROYS of seeing the
association placed upon a basis that win
admit of its affording relief to the poor of
the city and county. He considers the best
means for this to be brought about viii be
through the assistance of the County Com
miss toner's. The city has donated s., POO
per annum to the association, and it is
believed Council would again do so with
the cooperation of the county.
1t is not improbable that the members
of the association will ask the County
Commissioners to contribute to it. With
an additional sum from the county, that
donated by the city and received from con-
tribuuons would admit, il is believed, of
the organization being continued and of
its accomplishing the purposes for which
it was formed.
The Mayor feels that there should be
some such organization in Savannah.
''rhere is not a place in the city" he said,
"Where a poor, starving creature can so
to get a crust of bread. 1t is shame 10
civilization"

the ground formerly the site of the Third

Some of the officers were down at the

there was little general evidence that 200
more soldiers had arrived. The men were
tired from the long ride and their only
desire was to get supper and prepare for
the nights rest AS they will be here

fairly well acquainted with Savannah and
its people before they leave for Cuba.
Many of them already have acquaintances

pleasure to a renewal of old acquaintance

ceived here as to when the regiment $
