DOUBTFUL If COMMITTEE WILL
AGREE ON PRIMARY RULES.
IN CASE OF NO AGREEMENT
RULES GOVERNING STATE PRIMA-
RIES WOULD BE IN FORCE.

A. A. Lawrence Chairman of the
Committee of Five-The Commit
tee VIII Get to Work at Once and
Will BE Ready to Report to the
Executive Committee Within n
Few Days-A Two-Thirds Vote Re-
quired to Change the RuIes-Rep-
resentation ut the Polls One OF
the Questions to BE Decided.
Acting Chairman Alexander of the
Democratic Executive Committee yes
terday named special committee of
five that will endeavor to agree upon
rules to govern the county primary to
be held on Oct. 10. The committee is
composed of A. A. Lawrence, chair
man. w. P. LaRoche, w. T. Hussey,
George NJ. Petronovitch and Richard
Wickham. Chairman Lawrence will
arrange to get the committee together
at the earliest possible time and start
on the work of securing fair and suit
able rules.
1t is not believed that the committee
will return a unanimous report, and it
is expected that Mr.. LaRoche will head
a minority report. 1t requires a two
thirds vote of the entire committee to
change the rules, and if there are any
differences it is not expected that rules
will be agreed upon. Should this turn
out to be the case. it is not likely that
all of the candidates will go into a
primary. In the event that no special
rules are agreed upon by the commit
tee. the rules governing state primaries
will be in force.
1t is not thought that it would be
practicable where there are more than
half dozen candidates to give each
man representative at each box, and
this will probably be where the chief
trouble will be found. AS soon as
Chairman Lawrence has got his COM
mittee together, and it is ascertained
what likelihood there is of an agree
ment, the Executive Committee will be
called together. The candidates have
nothing to say at this time, but will
wait until the sub committee has taken
some action

MAY MEAN A FIGHT.
No Notice That the OglethOrpe Club
VIII Close It's Bar.

VIII Close Its Bar.
No answer from the Oglethorpe Club
has yet reached Mr.. H. e. Wilson.
He does not know whether the club will
close it's bar on Sundays in compliance
with the request that he, as attorney
for the Good Government League,
made. Yesterday was the last day of
grace for an answer that Mr.. Wilson
said he would allow, so that some ac-
ton may be looked for from him. He
declared most positively that he would
prosecute any violation of the Sunday
closing law tomorrow that might
reach his knowledge, so it will be in
teresting to note what action the club
may take. The grand jury did not
meet yesterday and Mr.. Wilson did
not make good his threat to seek in
dictment of any club from which ne
may not have heard.
Inquiry yesterday failed to elicit that
any meeting of the Oglethorpe Club had
been called to consider the question OF
closing the bar on Sundaya. At a
meeting of the Board of Governors, Mr..
Wilson's communication was consider
ed, and 1t was then decided to refer it
to a meeting of the club, which, Pres
ident George w. Owens notified him,
would be held "as soon as practicable.
A member of the club yesterday re-
marked that he hoped that it would
keep its bar open on Sunday. He did
not seem to feel the least anxiety as
to the result. He said he would like to
see some little excitement raised over
the question. If the worst should come,
he said, it would be easy enough for
any member who might desire to drink
on Sunday to have a private stock of
his favorite beverage on hand for him
self or his friends. The gentleman said,
too, that he did not believe that any
grand jury would indict or any petit
jury convict any social club in Savan-
nah that might have a charge made
against it for keeping a tipping house
open on Sunday. Clubs in Savannah,
he said, are not so regarded.
The Tomochichi Club. the Hussars
Club and the Harmonic Club has all
determined to close their bars on Sun
days, in compliance with Mr.. Wilson's
request.
Mr.. Owens was seen yesterday and
asked what the probable action of his
club would be. He replied that he did
not feel as if he should discuss the
| question at all in the papers.

ALL WOULD NOT BID.
Some of the Aldermen Do Not Think
Franchises Badly Wanted.

Some early action upon the question
of the street railway franchises is look
ed for, now that it has again been
placed in the hands of the Streets and
Lanes Committee of the City Council
The committee will reconsider its own
report upon streets it considered avail
able for railway purposes, and will also
look over City Engineer w. ]. Winn's
report to see If it concurs in all that
he has named as Objectionable.
Rather a general belief prevails
among the members of the board that
all of the five petitioners for franchises
are not in earnest. One of them said
yesterday that If the franchises were
put up for sale to the highest bidder,
he did not believe that all of the petit
toners would be represented amonS
the bids received.
1t is by no means impossible that the
disposition of the franchises will be
through that means. The aldermen re-
gard them as valuable, and believe that
the city should be paid for them. One
of the gentlemen interested in the pros
pective Savannah Transit Company,
one of the petitioners, expressed him
self the same way some time ago. He
thought it no more than right that
those asking for the franchises should
be made to pay for what they may
get
The Savannah Transit Company. the
Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railway. Mr., D. B. Lester, Mr..
j. 5. Collins and Mr.. e. A. Richards
are the petitioners. Mr.. Lester is still
having petitions circulated on his be-
half, and they are numerously signed,
but the aldermen think the question is
one of business, and petitions will re-
ceive but little consideration.

SUCCESSOR TO WlNBURN.
Men Whom Gossip Names for Gem
eraI Freight Agent.

The announcement in the Morning
News yesterday of the intention OF
Traffic Manager e. H. Hinton of the
Central Railroad to resign caused no
little surprise. There was much regret,
too, for Mr.. Hinton has made many
friends in Savannah and throughout
Georgia, who will be sorry to see him
leave the Central. Leading officials of
the Central had not been informed of
the prospective resignation, which is
to become effective Oct. l, and the an
nouncement was news to them.
Mr.. w. A. Winburn, who will sue
coed Mr.. Hinton as traffic manager, is
In New York, where his business as
general general freight agent called
him. 1t is not yet known who will sue
coed Mr.. Winburn as general freight
agent, though Mr.. w. E. Estes. Cen
trail Railroad agent at Savannah, and
Mr.. c. w. Chears, division freight
agent at Chattanooga, are both mem
toned. There has been no official state
ment made, however, and until there
is one, talk of the succession to the
general freight agency is but specula-
tive. 1t has been the policy of the
Central to promote to fill vacancies, so
some one from the service is expected
TO get the place.
Mr.. Winburn's rise with the Central
has been the result of great merit. His
administration of his duties has al
ways been such as to rebound to the
credit of the company and to swell its
revenues. He has many friends who are
glad to see him get another advance.
William Alfred Winburn was born
Oct. 10, 1868. at Gainesville, Ga. He
entered railway service in 1880, since
when he has made gradual advance.
His first place was in the Richmond
and Danville freight depot at Gaines
vile. From October, 1881, to June,
1883, he was a clerk in the Office Of the
assistant general freight agent of that
road at Atlanta. His next position,
which he held until June, 1886, was as
clerk in the office of the assistant gen.
eral freight and passenger agent of
the Western North Carolina Railroad
at Salisbury. N. c., which he left for
a clerkship in the Office at Asheville of
the assistant general freight and pas
senger agent of the Richmond and
Danville. In September. 1887, he gave
up that place and was for four years
division freight and passenger agent at
Asheville for the same road. From jan
uary. 1892, until April, 1892, he was
clerk in the Office of the general man
ager of the Columbus Southern Rail-
road. He then came to the Central as
clerk in the Office of the traffic man
ager, a place he held but two months
before being made general freight
agent.

CakewaII< at Isle of Hope.

The cakewalk at Isle of Hope last
night was a decided success in point
of attendance. There was a large
crowd, the pavilion being more than
filled. People hung about on the out
side, and the seating capacity was
greatly overtaxed. Visitors willingly
stood to watch the giddy dancing and
pirouetting of the four couples and the
leader, all of them oolored. There were
evidently more visitors than the street
railway management had expected, as
there were not enough cars on the line
for the proper handling of so many. A
number of the visitors enjoyed nice
suppers that were provided by Mr..
Rarbee,

blessing of st. Joseph's New Hospital
will not take place until tomorrow af-

as the altar itself has been beautifully
decorated with flowers and palms fur
nished by Mr.. A. c. Oelschig, to whom
the Sisters desire to express their
thanks, as also to Mr.. ]. w. Jackson
for the use of a number of lace cur
tains.
The dedication ceremony will not be

reception of patients about Sept 1. Be
cause of the greater amount of work
that will devolve upon the Sisters in
the hospital, through the increased
number of patients the new hospital
will be provided with a number of
trained nurses. though how many. or
when they will begin their duties has
not yet been determined on.
The chapel, which in the plan of the
building was to have faced the en-
trance. opening out from the first cor
rider, and the two surgical wards that
were to have surmounted it, have not
yet been built, nor will they be begun
for some little time yet. In the mean
time, the chapel in the old building
will be used, and, for surgical wards,
special rooms on the third floor.

DIED IN A CELL.
Aged and Helpless Lunatic Expired
in the County Jail.

William Weaver, an aged lunatic and
colored, died in a cell in the county
jail yesterday, and was buried at the
expense of the county. The man had
been slowly passing away for several
days, and County Physician Keller was
present when he died.
Weaver was adjudged lunatic about
two months ago by a jury from the
Court of Ordinary, and was waiting
his turn to be taken to the asylum. He
was perfectly harmless, and hardly had
strength enough to move his limbs. The
afflicted man gradually wasted away,
and was as light as a feather before
breath left his body. The negro died
while a lunacy jury was investigating
the sanity of prisoner on the same
floor, and some of those on the jury
had served when Weaver was adjudged
a lunatic.

TWO ADJUDGED LUNATICs.
Negro Man and Woman Ordered
Sent to Insane Asylum.


Sent to Insane Asylum.
Jeanette King and Louis Bryan,
both colored, were adjudged lunatics
and proper subjects for the asylu-
for the insane at Milledgeville, by a
jury from the Court of Ordinary yes
terday. The woman appeared harmless
enough behind the bars, but accord
ing to her relatives had attempted to
commit acts of violence before her
commitment on a lunacy warrant.
Bryan is regarded as a dangerous i'm
beetle and put up a vicious fight with
a patrolman when he was first placed
under arrest. He has a mania for us
ing his fist and several witnesses tes-
titled that he had struck them on diff
ferent occasions without provocation.
One of these was the mans father who
signed the warrant charging lunacy
Bryan's affection is believed to be due
to a combination of heat and strong
drink.
