WANTED TO FIRE 'EM
SENSATION WAS AvERTED AT THE
MEETING of COUNCIL.
TWO M'ALPIN .ADHERENTS
WE'RE TO HAVE BEEN LEGISLATED
OUT OF THEIR JOBS.

This Is the story That Was Floating
Peck the Men Aimed at by "A Pros
pective Ordinance-An Alderman
who Is for Collins Was to Have
Fathered the Ordinance--Anothe
Alderman Threatened to Raise
Such N Row That the Project Was
Given Over.
A sensation was narrowly averted
night before last, when the City Coun-
CT. met. One of the aldermen had an
ordinance framed up that would have
made Savannah very warm. 1t would
have put the factions into which citi-
zens have divided in the ordinary's
race in a neutrality-suspicious. the
Collins and McAlpin elements.
The scheme was to introduce an or
dinance abolishing the positions of
superintendent of the scavenger de-
partment and superintendent of city
lots. J. J. Clarity is the incumbent
of the first. and w. H. Peck fills the
second position. The alderman who
expected to father the ordinance, it is
declared, does not like the attitude of
the two men in the race for ordinary.
and he wanted to legislate them out
of a job.
Clarity and Peck are for McAlpin.
The aldermen who wanted to GUST
them is for Collins. He wants to whip
the city administration into line for
Ht- 1a%1 sa
for this reason that he determined to
introduce his ordinance. That would
show, he thought, that the forces had
to get on the right side, or there would
be good chance for others to lose
their jobs. Persuasion had not worked
with Clarity and Peck, who had re-
manned firm in their allegiance to Nc
Alpin.
That much of the scheme was town
talk yesterday. 1t leaked out in some
way, and the story was too good not
to be discussed. But there was one
point that the public did not have-and
that was an interesting one. 1t was
supplied by another alderman, who
said that he had understood that such
an ordinance as mentioned had been
framed up.
The second alderman was by no
means favorably impressed with the
scheme. He said that he is not taking
any part in the campaign, and has not
committed himself to any candidate,
as it is not a party fight. Learning of
the prospective ordinance, he let some
of the members of the board under
stand that. if such an ordinance We're
introduced for the purpose of ousting
men for no other than political rea-
sons, and that when there was no par
ty fight on, there would be the big
gest row raised that Chatham county
has ever had. The ordinance wasn't
introduced.
McAlpin supporters have been MAX
ing the claim that pressure has been
brought to bear upon city employees to
force them to vote for Collins They
were, therefore, more inclined to credit
the story of the proposed ordinance
than they might otherwise have been

WITH MASONIC HONORs.
II. C. Lane, "a Stranger, Was Laid
Away in Laurel Grove.


Mr.. H. C. Lane who died in st. Jo-
sephs Infirmary day before yesterday,
was buried in the Masonic lot at Lau-
rel Grove yesterday afternoon by Clin-
ton Lodge of Masons.
Mr.. Lane was a stranger in Savan-
nah. He had been here but short
time prior to his attack of sickness and
persons at his former beading house,
as we'll as those at the Infirmary, knew
little about him. From papers discov>
cred among his effects it was found that
he was a Mason, a member of Citizens
Lodge No. 62S, of New York. The mas
ter of the lodge was wired by Mr.. ]. H.
Quint, worshipful master of Clinton
Lodge. Pending an answer to this
message the funeral arrangements
were made to bury Mr.. Lane in Laurel
Grove. AS no answer had been re-
ceived up toN4 O'Clock yesterday these
arrangements were carried out.
The remains We're taken from the I'M
dertaking establishment of Messrs. Fox
& Weeks to Laurel Grove, where the
ceremonies of the Methodist Church
were conducted by Rev. Bascom An
thony,-an afterward those of the Ma
sonic order, by Mr.. Quint.
Relatives of the dead man have been
advised of his death and burial and it
is possible that they may be heard from

EL0PING COUPLES ARRIVED.
Tried to Hide Their Identity and
Went on to Augusta.


Went on to Augusta.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Messell and
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Dandignac, two
clipping young couples from New York,
were the first to put foot on shore
when the City of Augusta reached her
dock last night. Tickets had been pur-
chased to Augusta, and they were anx-
ious to catch the Central train that
was being held for passengers from the
steamer.
Apparently they We're not worrying
about anything, and the brides laughed
and joked. while the grooms made ar
rangements for hack to take them to
the waiting train. The engine had been
at the depot for almost an hour, and
was getting restless. The double we'd
ding party was equally as impatient to
continue the journey. All of the berths
in the sleeper had been sold, and the
trip had to be made In a day coach.
The young people had left New York
in a hurry, and with storm brewing
in the homes of the brides. No oppor-
tunity had been found to secure trans
portation with sleeping accommoda-
tions, and it Vas a sort of catch-as-
catch-can affair.
Messell and Dandignac denied their
identity to a representative of the
Morning News, and only admitted it
when told that they had been forgiven
at home. There was nothing for them
to tell There had been double we'd
ing in Concord street, without any
frills, and then a hurried departure
for the South, to escape the wrath of
the parents of the brides Both young
women are quite pretty and appeared
to consider the entire affair a huge
joke. They giggled like school girls
and Mrs. Messed said that she thought
it was great fun. The trip had been
pleasant one and none of the party
had been seasick.
Messell said that his parents knew
that he was going to get married, and
that he kissed his mother goodby.
Dandignac also took his mother in his
| confidence. The girls didn't play that
game, for they had already been told
that they were too young to marry,
and knew that they could never Sc
| cure the consent of their parents to
the match. When told that their fam
lilies had relented they expressed no
surprise, but said they were glad the
honeymoon would close with the worn
out forgiveness act They will continue
their journey to Augusta and after a
short stay in that city, with probably
d
return to their homes and begin mar
ried life as they have pictured tia
continual round of pleasure.
Police Detective ] j. Murphy was
a passenger on the Augusta, and he
had his eye on the bridal party from
the start. The officers trained eye
told him that there was something
amiss when the young people hurried
on board at her pier in New York. His
he
who jumped his bond and was arrested
in New Jersey. was an ideal one, and
the detective had plenty of time to
watch the young people. Hangicos
had the freedom of the ship and Muir
ply made frequent observations.
According to the detective the
grooms and brides stuck close togeth-
err and kept away from the other pas
sengers. While they kept as much as
possible to themselves, the presence of
stray passenger didn't phase them a
hit

NEW Y. M. C. A. BUILDING.
Bethesda Boys to he Given Member.
ship in the Association.


At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Y. NJ. C. A, held at the
associations building last night, the
matter of erecting a new building was
brought up, and it was decided to ap-
point a committee to formulate plans
be appointed later by Mr.. w. B.
Stubs and Secretary H. M. Johnson.
1t Will not be selected. however, for
some days yet, as a gentleman who
is much interested in the associations
work, and whose advice and help in
the present plan is desired, is out of
the city at present, and will not be
back for several days.
An important matter that was pass
ed on by the meeting was that of ex-
tending the membership privileges of
the association to such boys of Bethes-
dd Orphan Home as may come to Sa-
vannah for work. This plan, which is
recommended by Messrs. w. B. Stubs.
c. II. Dorset, Chas. F. Fulton and
w. E. Coney, a joint committee of
the Union Society and the Y. M. c. A.,
proposes that each Bethesda boy en-
tering business in Savannah, who
cares to becmoe a member of the Y.
M c. A., but is unable to pay the dues
shall be >given a MEMBERSHIP ticket in
the association and that one half of
the cost of this shall be paid by the
Union Society and the other by the Y
NJ. c. A. with the understanding on
the boys part that the amount shall
be paid back to the Y. M. c. A. when
his financial condition will allow him
to make such payments.
BY a further clause in the resolu-
ton any person that desires to con-
tribute to the fund for extending to
the orphan boys the benefits of the
Y. M. c. A. may do so. Fourteen APP
plications for membership in the asso-
citation were accepted at the meeting

LECHNER STILL MISSING.
Police of the Opinion That the De-
5auIting Banker Has Gone Abroad.

fauIting Banker Has Gone Abroad.
Nothing further has been heard of
Frank c.. Lechner, the defaulting CASH
Ter of the Bank of Timmonsville, S. c.,
who disappeared in this city on Aug.
10. Detective Stark still has the pic
ture of the missing man, but neither he
nor Superintendent Reilly have any
hope of apprehending the banker.
The police theory is that Lechner
secured passage on some tramp steam
err or sailing vessel and left Savannah
on the day of his arrival. No one can
be found who remembers having seen
him and it is not probable that he re-
manned here long. He knew his guilt
and probably momentarily expected ar
rest. The police do not think that
Lechner left for any point in this coun-
try, but are of the opinion that he
crossed the water perhaps going to
Germany, where he is said to have rel
atives.
1t is thought that he had money
enough to pay his passage, and that
he did not have to work his way across
the water. 1t is doubtful If Lech-
ner's physical condition would permit
a journey of hardships. Had he been
without money he would probably
have hidden his disgrace with suicide,
but his body would have been recovered
before this time. superintendent Reil-
ly has not yet been notified what ac
ton the surety company will take, or
whether an effort will be made to track
the banker elsewhere.

MEDALS FOR GEORGIANS.
Ex-Members of Thirty-frst Michigan
Companies May Get Them.

Any Savannah boys who served in
Companies I, K or L of the InirtV-
First Michigan Regiment, during the
Spanish War. have chance for
medal. One is awaiting any such ex-
member who may apply for it.
In a letter to the Morning News from
Capt. John S. Bersey, now command
ing Company H of the First infantry
of the Michigan National Guard, but
who was first lieutenant Of Company
L in the Thirty-first Michigan, infor-
nation about the medals is given.
Capt. Bersey writes from Detroit, say
ing that the city has authorized the
preparation of medals to be presented
to it's citizens who served in the army
during the Spanish War, or IN the
Philippines. One of these medals was
prepared for each man who served IN
Companies /. K and L.
The Thirty-first Michigan and the
First Georgia We're in the same brigade
during the Spanish War, and there
was a close bond of union between
the members of the two commands.
They were the best of friends. The
good feeling between the regiments
was so marked that it was commented
upon at Chickamauga and later at
Knoxville by officers and men of other
commands.
After the muster out of the First
Georgia a number of the members re-
Unlisted in the Thirtyfirst Michigan.
The latter regiment was encamped for
some time at Savannah, and the asso-
Citations that were so pleasant at
Chickamauga and at Knoxville were
renewed. The entertainment of the
officers of the Thirty-first by the offi-
GERS of the First Regiment at the
armory in Savannah was an evidence
of the good will that was felt, and
further token was shown in the pre-
sentation of a loving cup to the Mich
igan regiment.
Capt. Bersey writes that he is in
terested in seeing that his Southern
friends get the medals due them, and
he has learned that if a soldiers dis
charge paper and present address are
sent to e. r. Schreiter, clerk of the
Council Committee, City Hall, Detroit,
Mich, the discharge will be returned,
together with the medal, to the address
given.

RULES FIXED NEXT WEEK.
Executive Committee Meeting Post
poned Until Monday.


The meeting of the County Executive
Committee will not be held tonight,
as had been expected, but will be cali
ed for Monday night. At that time
the rules for the primary election will
be decided upon.
Candidate w. c. Hartridge has not
vet been able to draw up rules on the
vote buying question, but will do so in
time for the meeting. The committee
will be asked to seriously consider and
adopt stringent rules that will do away
with the purchasing of votes or the
use of money for any but legitimate
purposes.
While it is not probable that votes
will be openly purchased hundreds of
workers will probably be employed, un
less there is decided change in the
situation. A well known political
worker openly stated last night that
he VIII have a barrel on election day,
and that he proposes to use the long
green in employing men to work
around the pools for his candidate.
The boast was not an idle one, and
the politician was in earnest. He said
that he would have no fear in paying
money to workers, and did not appre-
bend that the grand jury would return
any indictments because of the use of
money in that way.
The second meeting of the Labor and
Commercial Union is scheduled for
Monday evening, but will probably be
postponed because of the meeting of
the Executive Committee. Chairman
Barclay of the Lazaron organization,
was unable to state last night just
when the meeting will be held, If the
date is changed. The Executive Conn.,
mttee of the union will meet this week,
and at that time the date of the next
meeting will be decided upon. Sew
, eral other ward meetings are scheduled
to take place next week.

WILL BE NO DEFICIT.
Alderman Dixon So Declares of the
Citx's Finances.

Alderman Dixon. chairman of the
Finance Committee of the City Coun-
Gil, said yesterday that there will be
no deficit in the city treasury when the
current year draws to a close. The ex-
penditures have been so curtailed as to
insure this.
The bills passed for payment by
Council night before last, as reported
by the Morning News yesterday
amounted to only $9S42,4S. In all the
three years that Alderman Dixon has
served as a member of Council, he
seid, the total of the accounts for the
two weeks for which the bills were
passed was the smallest.
All the departments are now running
at slight expense, Alderman Dixon said
the greatest OUTLAWS having been made
during the first six months. The over
draft of the house drainage account,
some $4,000. crippled the finances for
the time being, but, even with that, the
alderman is confident that the year will
pass without a deficit.
