UP To TROLLY LINE
1T MAY DECIDE WHETHER CITY
WILL HAVE BALL TEAM.

BEFORE LOCAL PROMOTERS WILL
PUT A TEAM IN THE FIELD.

Conference of the Men Who Are BE-

Held in Montgomery TO-day-Un-

Prevented Attendance of Repre-
sentatives From This POint-If
TrOIIy Company VIII Put Grounds
in shape There's Little Doubt
About Professional Ball Next Year.
Necessary Amount of Money Not
Hard to Obtain.
A meeting of those interested in the
organization of the new Southern
League, which it is proposed to cs-
tablish and in which local enthusiasts
hope that Savannah is to be repre-
scented by team, will be held in Mont
gomery, Ala, to-day.
There will be no representative OF
Savannah present at the conference,
as the uncertain attitude of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company towards the
establishment of the team it is hoped
to have represent Savannah makes the
whole local situation a trif1e vague.
Those who are behind the movement
want the trolley company to put the
DdlI SIOuUuS III thoroughly SOOQ COu-
dtion, both as to the field, stands and
bleachers, and if this proposition is ac-
cepted, there seems little reason to
doubt that Savannah will be repre-
scented in the league. The trolley COM
pany will, of course, profit largely by
the establishment of a team here, and
the promoters of the enterprise feel it
should contribute its share.
This matter will be taken up with
General Manager Nagle of the COM
pany upon his return from the North,
where he now is. If the arrangement
with the company can be definitely
concluded, the preliminary steps to-
wards the organization of a stock
company will at once be taken.
The leaders of the movement in the
other cities where it is proposed to
establish clubs have been notified of
the situation in which the Savannah
organization finds itself and requested

Mayor Myers. will result In
the organization of some popular
commercial body that will be instru-

generally thought possible. A chamber

lines, can accomplish wonders for Sa-

Nearly all of those who attended
the meeting, which was reported by
the Morning News yesterday, are hope
full of the best results. They are in
terested in the movement and desire

EFFECTS OF STIMULANTS.
To Have Special Attention in In
struction in Physiology.

The best methods Of teaching physi-
ology to the pupils of the public
schools formed the principal subject of
a conference between Supt. Ashmore
and the principals of the schools that
was held yesterday morning. Instruc-
ton in physiology in the public schools
of the state is made compulsory by
an act of the last General Assembly,
and how best to reconcile this require
ment with the immature minds of lit
tie children was the question Supt.
Ashmore talked over with the princi-
pals.
The general features of the plan had
been determined upon already. In
struction in physiology has formed a
part of the curriculum of the High
School for years. so that IL needed no
Introduction there. The new plan con-
templates instruction by means of a
text book in the sixth and seventh
grades of the grammar schools and or
ally in the lower grades.
The law says that the instruction in
physiology given in accordance with
the law must have a special reference
to the injurious effects Of alcohol and
other stimulants upon the human sys-
TEN. The plan is to instruct the young
ideas that sprout in the class rooms
lHdt II u pau LOT tnein 10 get drunk.
Considerable reductions in the wait
ing list were made yesterday by Supt.
Ashmore, who sent out cards of ad-
mission to the schools to a number Of
those who had applied. This has left,
however, about thirty applicants for
admission to the third grade Of the
grammar schools, living in the vicin..
ity of Chatham Academy, who are stin
on the waiting list and for whom, with
existing accommodations, no provision
of instruction can be made.
Supt. Ashmore will report the stu
alton as it exists to the next meeting
Of the Board of Education, which viii
be held a week from tomorrow even
ing. There seems to be no way out of
the trouble short of the establishment
OF new third grade in Chatham
Academy. and it may be that this
course will be taken.

TO the Refinement of the remains of
Gen. Nathaniel Greene and his son,
George Washington Greene. This infOr-
nation reached Mayor Myers yester-
day. A letter was received from Secre-
tary George B. Cortelyou, stating that
it would not be possible for the Presi-
dent to accept the invitation to visit
Savannah, for the reason that his pres
eDce in Washington will then be de-
manded because of the duties devolving
upon the chief executive at the time
that Congress is about to convene.
This means that the city will not
have charge of the exercises. 1t was
expected that, in the event of the Pres
ident's acceptance of the Mayors invi-
tation to visit Savannah, the city would
assume the entire control, and that all
the arrangements for the funeral would
be made by the committee appointed
from Council some time ago.
The City VIII Yet Aid.
Now that it has been learned that
the President is not coming, it is the
purpose of the special committee, so
far as can be learned. to advise Coun-
ell to allow the entire management to
devolve upon the patriotic societies,
by which it was suggested that the
city assume charge. In taking this
action, if the advice of the committee
should be adopted, the city will yet
make donation that will, wholly or
in part, defray the expense of the re-
interment of the remains.
A meeting of the committee will be
held tomorrow, in all probability,
when the letter to the Mayor from Sec
rotary Cortelyou will be submitted
This letter has long been expected.
though it was not. of course. known
what its tenor would be. 1t was rather
thought that the President would re-
gard the event as of such Importance
as to induce him to so arrange as to
attend.
1t is believed now that the first let
fer written the President was not re-
ceived. This impression is created by
the fact that Mr.. Cortelyou refers to
your favor of the 26th," meaning a
second letter written on that date, urg-
ing an answer to the former one.
By Patriotic Societies.
The patriotic societies are ready to
assume the management of the cere-
monies. They expected that, in the
event the President declined. the city
would not assume the control.
The state convention of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution will
be held in Savannah, Nov. 1875, and
1t will be during this convention that
the funeral will be held, and the re-
mains inferred beneath the Greene
monument in Johnson Square.

HUNTED A HUNTER.
Detectives Had Long Chase After
the Wrong Man.


the Wrong Man.
A negro with a shotgun out hunting
for birds yesterday afternoon in the
vicinity of the new waterworks was
for a while hunted himself.
The recent excitement in that vicin-
ity was the cause of the hunt. Ever
since negro armed with a Winches-
ter held up Patrolman Murphy and
shot at Detective Wall, the police have
been constantly receiving reports that
the negro was in the same locality.
Some of these rumors have been in
vestigated, but the greater portion
have shown on their face that thew
were fakes and have been so treated
by the department.
The hoax of yesterday afternoon.
however, seemed to be so straight that
it was thought to be worthy of inves-
tigation, and Detectives Wall, Murphy
and Stark went out to look it up Early
In the afternoon telephone message
was received at the barracks that there
was at the Union Station a colored
man who had seen the desperate a.
short while before and then knew
where he was. The officers got out
their guns, had a wagon hitched up
and went on.
Stopping at the depot they picked up
their informant and headed for the
new waterworks. The desperate did
not turn up there, and they went on.
After many devious turnings and some
inquiring, they discovered their quar-
ry near the old waterworks. To their
chagrin, they found that he did not
at all answer the description of the
one wanted, and on investigation
proved to be simply an inoffensive col
ored citizen, who had gone out to kill
few birds for his Sunday breakfast.
There was not much said on the ride
into town, and it will hereafter take
a mighty good talk to get the detec-
tives out after the lunatic or desper-
ate chara cter again
