HAS NO REPLY TO MAKE.

II Hope There'u BE No Cause for
Future Criticism" Says Mr.. Moore.
Vice Chairman Moore of the Board of
County Commissioners and chirman of
the Committee on Drainage, said yes
terday he had no reply to make to the
structures of the grand jury, contained
in it's general presentments to the Su-
perior Court.
when the next grand jury meets"
said Commissioner Moore, IT trust it
will have no criticism to offer. I hope
there will be no rightful ground upon
which criticism can be based"
While Mr.. Moore declined to say so,
he evidently felt that the criticisms
of the grand jury were not directed so
much at the present, as at former
boards of county commissioners, and
that the structures were not meant for
him and his present colleagues. He
said large amount OF drainage work
would be done next year, and that
few roads would be built. The drain
age Of the Pipemaker watershed, he
said, would be the next thing attempt
ed. This is the big swamp that lies
between the Augusta and Louisville
roads, west of the city. 1t will require
perhaps two years to complete this
work
Work in the immediate vicinity Of
the city will be done as opportunity is
given and circumstances permit. The
three gangs of convicts now employed
in the construction of LaRoche ave-
nue. and the shell road to Montgomery
and in drainage work near Burroughs,
will be brought to the city and used
in cleaning out drains and laterals rs
soon as they respectively complete the
work in which they are now engaged.

Will Have the Greatest Musical Ar
lists of World for Concerts Here.
The Savannah Music Club is con-
tinuing it's active canvass for associate
members, with the object of increas-
ing its membership TO such size that
it will be justified in bringing to Sa-
vannah artists of recognized ability
for series of concerts to be given dur
ing the coming season.
Though the movement for an in
creased membership was begun but a
short time ago, already a hundred or
more additions to the club have been
secured. 1t is hoped to secure further
addition of double that number. From
the interest shown and the results al
ready accomplished the club is san
guine that the required number of
members will be secured, and shorts
ly, and so is going ahead with its prep
arations for the concerts.
Among the artists that are being
discussed with a view OF having taem

club are Josef Hoffman, the renowned
pianist and Nine. Schumann-He inck,
who for the past several years has
been one of the brightest stars of the

THE NORTHT0WN IN PORT.
First Vessel of the New Line to
New York Arrived.

new York Arrived.
The steamship. Northtown, Capt.
Robinson, of the Northwest Steamship
Company's new line, arrived yesterday
from Fernandina with a part cargo of
100000 feet of lumber. She will load
about 100000 feet more at Savannah to
finish the cargo.
The Northtown locked at the Plant
System wharves, where she will begin
loading tomorrow. After taking on a
considerable cargo there she will shift
to. the Seaboard's terminals for the
balance. The fact the steamer has all
the necessary steam apparatus with
which to load will make it possible to
do this work in short order.
MIR. c. w. Howard, agent of the
Northwest Line at Savannah, was at
the docks when the steamer arrived.
He Will not only be in charge of all
steamers while in port, but will also
be in charge of the booking of freight
room by this line. UP to the present a
great deal has not been done in the
way of acquiring new business, as the
company has guarantees that will keep
their steamers going for few months
to come. Until that time ii may be
no active campaign will be made for
freight, but after the expira ton of the
present arrangements with lumber ex-
porters the line will be thrown into
competition with others for business,
and will then not only receive lumber,
but all other classes of bulk freight
as we'll.
Capt. Robinson of the Northtown is
an experienced seaman, having been
engaged for years in the service of the
Clyde Line. running between Charles
ton, Jacksonville and Cuban points.
The Northwest, the other steamer on
the new line, is reported to have sailed
from New York for Fernandina. All
the companys vessels go frs. to Fer
nandina and from there touch at Sa-
vannah on their return North.

WANT VESTIBULED CARS.
Street Railway Change stopped Cir
cuIatiOn of Petition.

The fact that the Savannah, Thun-
derbolt and Isle of Hope Railway Com
pany is about to change hands, as an
nounced in the Morning News .yester-
day. shut off petition asking that the
cars of the company be vestibuled. The
paper. was being freely circulated and
was gotten up by a lady, although her
husband took hold of it after the petit
ton was drawn.
The letter was addressed to General
Manager McIntire and 1t was intended
that it should be forwarded to him. 1t
was decided, however, that if the com
pany is about to pass into other hands
there would be but little use for such
a petition The paper which found
ready signers reads as follows:
From a spirit of humanity, we, the
Undersigned citizens of Savannah, re-
spectfuny petition you to have such
improvements made on the cars of youl
company as will shield the motormen
from Indictment and severe weather,
while in the discharge of their duties.
"This humane measure has been TAX
en- in many cities throughout the Union
and we believe that it's adoption here
Will not only insure the health and
comfort of your employees, but VIII
greatly add to the safety of the pub
lic.''
1t is not believed that it would be
practicable to vestibule the present
rolling stock of the company, because
of the fact that the cars are not of very
recent make, and are not constructed
on the proper line. The company sew
eral months ago purchased half a doz-
en- large vestibuled. cars for use on the
suburban lines. A contract was made
for delivery by Nov. l., in time for use
for the State Fair. The usual strike
clause" was incorporated in the con-
tract, and the car builders say that a
strike caused the delay. General Mana
ger McIntire expects that the cars will
be shipped within the next few days;
at least he has such information from
the manufacturers.

IN POLICE COURT.

At yesterdays session of Police Court

missed. The men were also charged
with disorderly conduct. but showed
that they had been guilty of no crime
and had only attempted to assist an
intoxicated negro and set him on the
right path. The men were returning
from a weekly drill when arrested.

Capt. NJ. Ed. Wilson and arrested as a
suspicious character, proved that he
