Won Bruening for a position again in
the diplomatic service. William. in his
usual short manner, declined to re-
store the young man to favor. The sit
uation was critical and word was sent
to Mrs. Won Bruening that there was
no hope. She, with the American
Characteristic of tenacity and action
went to Berlin Immediately and asked
an audience with the emperor. At first
he declined to receive her, although
while she was Mrs. Mckay he had
showered her with attention, on one
occasion, even sending his son, the
Crown Prince. in person and bare
headed, to escort her to her carriage
at court ball. But at last she sue
ceeded in obtaining an audience. Just
what passed then is not publicly
known, but soon afterward an edict
was issued restoring Won Bruening to
his former position in the service.
There was no vacant post at that time
and he was assigned as on leave of alb
sence at his home.
Last week a cablegram announced
that Won Bruening had been appointed
first secretary of the German legation
at Tangiers, Morocco. Thus was the
latest triumph of the American woman
complete.

THE MORAN-PORRETTo BOUT.
Jeffries-RuhIin Fight Will BE Bull
Ietined by the Morning News.

Tony Moran and Peter Poretto will
meet in a 25-round bout tonight be-
fore the Savannah Athletic Club. Both
men are known to Savannah followers
of the game as clever and conscien-
tious boxers. Moran has taken part in
a number of matches here, in all of
which he made an excellent showing,
particularly in the last, in which he
met Tommy Feltz.
Poretto, though he has taken part in
but one match. that with Johnny
Shields. then demonstrated that he is
A clever and shifty boxer. 1t is said
that he has improved much since that
time, and that he will make the bout
tonight a warm one.
Those that have seen Moran's per-
formances know that he is perfectly
capable of following just that sort of
clip, of setting it, in fact should he
deem it advisable to do so. The men
will meet at catch weights; it is prob
able that neither will be heavier than
120 pounds.
feature of the preliminary per-
Torrance will be the appearance of
H. NJ. Bedford otherwise and more
generally known as Mac, the Mar
vel" He defies any man on earth to
remove him from the floor twice in
succession.
Bedford does not, himself. attempt to
explain the mysterious power he claims
to possess, but he is willing to let any
body take a chance at overcoming it.
He says physicians, who have investi-
gated his case, have given him up as
a hard job, and that be is willing to
let it go at that. 1t is not a matter
of the manifestation of any remarka-
be physical force, for he doesn't pos
SesS It.
From what could be learned yester-
day the advices from San Francisco,
that Jeffries was a hot favorite, cooled
the ardor of the Rubin followers so
much that there was little, if any. bet
ting on the result of the bout, though
there is still a great deal of interest
in its outcome. This fight between the
big ones will be reported by rounds
tonight at the Morning News office
by the use of a megaphone. The fight
begins at 9;15 o'clock. San Francisco
time, between 1880 and u. Savannah
time. 1t is not thought that it will go
very many rounds.

PREMIUMS ARE LIBERAL.
Fair Associations LiberaIity
Brought Fine Exhibits.


Col. r. F. Crittenden, chairman of
the Committee on Awards, said: The
committee has acted to the best Of it's
knowledge and ability, and trust the
result will be satisfactory. The agri-
cultural display is a ma gnificent one,
and exceeds that of any previous Fair
Savannah's liberality in the matter of
premiums accounts for this. Had the
railroads dealt as generously with Sa-
vannah as Savannah has dealt with
have had 100000 people here from the
surrounding country to witness the
display, where we have not had one
fifth that number. 1t is greatly to be
regretted that the railroads could not
have been brought to deal more liber-
ally in this matter. People in my sec
ton of the state, who made excursion
trips to Savannah this summer at $3.50
and SO for the round trip do not care
to pay three times that amount to
make the trip now They are unable
to understand why the great difference.
The bulk of these exhibits were
brought to Savannah from distances of
$50. 200 and 300 miles. With a rate of
l cent a mile hundreds of people would
have come from each of these counties
where we have had only dozens. From
my county, Randolph, we have hardly
had more than a score when otherwise
we should have had at least 200.
trust that Savannah will succeed in
making better arrangements with the
railroads next year, and that she will
then, backed by the experience she now
has, give us an even better fair than
the one we have this year."

PUBLIC ROADS REPAIRED.
County Convicts Active in Construc-
ton During Last Month.

Construction and repair road work
has played prominent part in the
life of the changing of Chatham coun-
ty during the past month. Forces of
convicts have been employed in the
construction of LaRoche avenue, in re-
surfacing Water road and in repairing
the Augusta road and the Montgomery
cross road.
LaRoche avenue, which, when COM
pleted, is to connect the Skidaway
road with Isle of Hope, is the princi-
pal work of construction now in prog
ress by the county forces. The work
has been under way for some time and
excellent progress was made during the
past month.
Other roads and bridges throughout
the country have been receiving atten-
ton at the hands of the several con-
Wet gangs and the drainage work has
not been neglected. Some of the prin-
cipal canals and laterals have been
slushed and a considerable amount Of
new ditching has been dug.

COL. BROWN TO HIS FRIENDS.
RETIRING PRESIDENT DINED FAIR
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Pleasant Social Event at the DE
Soto-Five Years of Work for the
Agricultural Society Reviewed
President Brown Thanked His As
sociates for the support which
They Had So Freely Rendered
Him and which Enabled Him 10
Make His Administration a Suc-
cess.
The department superintendent of
the Fair and members of the Executive
Committee of the Agricultural Socie-
ty. who are in the city, were entertain
ed at a dinner at the De Soto last
night by Hon. Pope Brown, the retir-
ing president. Col. Brown will retire
from the position which he now occu-
pies as president about the middle of
February next, having declined a re-
election, after a service of five years
as the chief officer of the society.
AS this would be the last Fair con-
Quoted during his administration Of
the affairs of the society, and desiring
to show his appreciation of the work
of those who have been associated with
him during his incumbency, and who,
by their loyal support, have enabled
him to make his administration a sue
cess, Col. Brown decided to have them
gather with him.
Every superintendent of the fifteen
departments of the Fair, and all the
executive committeeman in the city
were present, the party being as fol-
lows: President Brown. Col. r. F.
Crittenden of Randolph. G. S. Roun-
tree of Emanuel, r. E. Bowman of
Bib, John Stanley of Brooks. ]. Clay
ton Clements of Montgomery, j. j.
Conner of Barlow, r. ]. Lyon and S.
NJ. Roberts of Barlow, M. r. Russell
of Carroll, j. E. McElroy of Gwinnett,
B. H. Baker of Warren, Col. A. @.
Moody of Thomas, Secretary Martin
V. Calvin of Augusta, G.. w. Holmes
of Morgan, B. N. Barrow of Spalding.
DR.. w. B. Burroughs of Glynn, and
j. M. B. Goode of Newton.
The dinner was served in the break
fast room, and was a pleasant affair,
lasting about two and a half hours.
Naturally there was a general express
sion of regret that the ties which had
so long bound them together in work
in which all were mutually interested,
should have been severed by the re-
tirement of the chief one among them
and nearly every member present made
remarks on this line.
President Brown expressed fittingly
and feelingly his regret at the sever.
ance of these relations and emphasized
in the strongest manner his indebted
ness to his associates who had labored
with him so faithfully and so constant
ly for the welfare of the Agricultural
Society and to whose efforts he attrib-
uted in large part the success of his
administration. He assured them of
his continued interest in the work of
the society and that as life mem
Der he would not fail to render his
full share of service in continuing its
work. Political discussion was strict
ly eschewed during the evening and a
spirit of cordial fellow feeling and
friendly regard prevailed throughout.

FILED A COUNTER CLAIM.
Sailors of the Avery AlIege the YES
sci owes Unpaid Wages.

Joseph Lake, Louis Eskeldsen, Otto
seamen of the schooner Edward P.
Avery, who are charged by Capt. H.
P. Cogswell with a mutinous refusal
to obey rightful orders that were given
them, with the destruction of certain
parts of the vessels equipment, and
with other acts violative of their ar
ticles and their duty, were brought to
the city and arrested, after their ar
rival here, by Office Deputy Marshal
Pearce.
The men were brought up by Capt.
Cogswell and turned loose by him on
the wharves. They had been on shore
only short time when they employed
Messrs Beckett &, Beckett to represent
them, and filed proceedings against
the vessel before United States Com
missioner Ryals. They allege that
they have refused to go to sea only
because the vessel is in an unsea-
worthy condition, and that they have
been perfectly willing to go as soon
as she was placed in proper condition
They charge that the master and own
ers have refused to have made the re-
pairs necessary to make the Avery
seaworthy, and that their articles do
not require them to put to sea until
this has been done. Now they have
been discharged by the master, and
they ask that they be paid the amount
of wages due them.
Both the criminal and civil cases
were called before Commissioner Ryals
yesterday afternoon, Assistant District
Attorney w. r. Leaken appearing for
the government in the former. In this
case the men are charged with pune
turing the diaghragms of the pumps
or the Avery, so as to make it i'm
possible that these should be operated.
AT the instance of the district attor-
ney. this case was continued until this
afternoon, to give the government fur
ther opportunity to prepare its case
against the defendants. A like adjourn
ment was taken in the civil cases. this
upon the motion of Mr.. A. A. Law
renee, who appeared for the master
and owners of the vessel.
krauss, one of the seamen, a plain
tiff in one case and a defendant in the
other, did not appear before the COM
missioner on yesterday. He has been
Ill for some days, and upon his arrival
at the dock yesterday it was found
necessary to remove him to st. Jo-
seph's Infirmary. where he now is. The
| three others spent the night in Jail,
where they will remain until the case
is disposed of by the commissioner.
The Revenue Cutter Hamilton had
been placed yesterday by Capt. Nc
Gala at the disposition of the officers
of the United States courts, for the
purpose of making the trip to Tybee
and effecting the arrest of the alleged
| mutineers. Their appearance in the
city rendered this unnecessary, but the
Hamilton was steamed up and quite
prepared to make the trip.
