OBITUARY..


MIR. Andrew Hanley died yesterday
in Boston after a long Illness. His
death was not unexpected. For several
days his condition had been critical,
and the end was looked for at any
time. Mr.. Hanley went North about
three weeks ago. A week ago his con-
dition became serious and Mrs. Han
ley, Miss Loretta Hanley and Mr.. An
drew Hanley, Jr, were summoned
Later Mrs. II. NJ. Conner, Master Mar
ion Hanley' and Mrs. Andrew Han
ley, Jr, were telegraphed for. They
did not reach Boston, however, in
time to see Mr.. Hanley in life. He
died yesterday morning about o'clock.
The remains left Boston at midnight
and will reach Savannah tomorrow
morning, accompanied by the MEM
bers of the family. The funeral will
from the Cathedral of st. John the
Baptist The interment will be in the
Cathedral Cemetery.
Mr.. Hanley leaves, besides a wife,
two daughters. Mrs. H. M. Conner, Miss
Loretta Hanley, and two sons, Mr..
Andrew Hanley, Jr., and Master
Marion Hanley.
Mr.. Hanley was born in Dublin, Ire
land, in 1886. He came to this coun-
try when young man and first set
tied in New York city. Shortly aft
erward he came to Savannah and
made this his home for the rest of his
life. He was several years direc-
tor of the Citizens Bank, was twice
an alderman, and was member OF
the F1ibernian Society and of the Be-
nevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
He had lived here for thirty years,
built up a fine business. and was we'll
known in the business circles of Sa-
vannah and neighboring cities. He
was president of the Andrew Hanley
Company of Savannah and of the Su-
wannee Springs Hotel Company. he
was the head and practically the own
err of both. For several years, on ac-
count of i'll health he had spent the
most of his time at Suwannee. Mr..
Banley's' death will. not interfere with
the business of either company and 1t
will continue without interruption.

GHOST STORIES.

From the Stratford- Avon Herald.
Ghost stories appear to be regarded
as particularly seasonable at this pc
riod (Christmas) of the year, although
the custom has long gone out of fash
ion of sitting round a great yule log
and listening to tales which sent the
guests to bed with something of an
apprehension that they would meet
spectre at the bedroom door. But
there are still many people who be-
lieve in ghosts, and some who are OBJ
solutely convinced of their presence in
certain cases. DR.. Mackay said that
there were hundreds of houses in this
country shut up and untnha bttable,
fallen into decay, and looking dreary
and dusty, whence at midnight strange
noises have been heard to issue, houses
that people have thought 1t unsafe to
pass after dark, which have remained
for years without tenants; which no
tenant would occupy even were he paid
to do So" There are still some of
these houses, even in London, but we
prefer rather to glance at few of
those great castles and mansions from
which the tenants have not been driv-
en- by the fact that they are reputed
to be haunted. Lowther Hall, in West
moreland, where the German Emperor
was the guest of Lord Lonsdale few
weeks ago, furnishes one example.
There was an ancestor of the present
earl, who is spoken of locally as "Jen-
ny LoWther," or 1.-The bad Lord Ions
dale" For many years he was belieV-
ed to haunt Lowther Hall, and al
though he was seldom or never seen,
yet the people of the neighborhood were
convinced that he was frequently
heard and that he was a great dis
turber of the peace of man and beast
Hampton Court Palace is said to have
been visited by the spirit of woman
dressed in black, and there Is similar
tradition with regard to the houses of
Parliament. In both cases the spectre
is regarded as of a most inoffensive
kind. OF course, Windsor Castle has
its ghost story; indeed, we should be
rather disappointed to find that 1t had
not, and there is another spectre which
is said to appear at the Tower of Lon
don shortly before the decease of the
reigning monarch.
Glamis Castle, Forfarshire, Is, like
the Egyptian Hall, veritable home
of mystery" and one scarcely knows
where to begin in referring to its APP
partitions. There are various 9TH
er legends; but interest centers in one
room, Whlcn is known as lne Hdunleu
chamber" where a former lord of Gla-
mis- is reputed to have imprisoned some
guests who had sought his hospitality
and there left them to starve. OF this
room a most uncanny story is told. On
one occasion the head of the family de-
tern1ined to investigate the cause of
the noises which were heard. and for
that purpose resorted to the haunted
chamber. What he saw we are not
told, but 1t is related that upon opening
the door with a key he fell back in a
dead swoon. nor could he ever be In

ALMOST AN AGREEMENT.

COnferees on Department of Com
merce Bill Made Progress.
Washington, Feb. 6.-The conferees
of the Senate and House on the De-
partment of Commerce bill approach
ed very near the point of agreement
on the bill to-day, but adjourned to
meet tomorrow without entirely finish
ing their work. An Intellectual at
tempt was made to adjust the differ
ences on the question as to whether
the President should be given power
to transfer the Interstate Commerce
to the proposed department as provid-
ed by the House bill. Considerable
feeling was manifested over the mat
ter.
The trust provision of the bill was
agreed on, the conferees accepting the
Nelson amendment with a portion of
the House provision added. The trust
provision establishes a bureau of COR
Iorations in charge of a commission
er of corporations to be appointed by
the President. The commissioner is
to have the same power as is con-
ferred on the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners to investigate the Or
ganization, conduct and management
of corporations and to gather infOr-
nation to form the basis of legsla-
ton. 1t is made the duty of the bureau
to gather, compile and publish useful
information concerning corporations
engaged in interstate commerce.

AGAINST MASS PLAYS.

New York, Feb. GA petition sign
ed by more than seventy head masters
of schools, representing many states,
looking to the modification of the
present playing rules of football has
been presented to the Inter Collegiate
Football Rules Committee. The petit
tion is one phase of the fight for the
adjustment of mass plays and had it's
inception at a conference held in con-
nection with the meeting of the head
masters association in Boston in De-
cember, last. A committee was APP.
pointed which drew up a circular let
ter which says in part
I'VE wish to express in emphatic
terms our judgment, based on expert
ence, that football as at present play
ed, is too severe and too dangerous,
and our belief that it is possible, by
modification of the rules, to develop
style of football that will retain the
unique and characteristic advantages
of the present game without it's most
serious attendant evils
The circular asks for the elimina-
ton of the present Objectionable and
dangerous features of football. Among
the schools represented by the sigma
lures is the Asheville High School,

Allen of the Missouri, Kansas and Tex

ference between his company and the

there will be no strike.
Grand Master Morrissey of the train

the conductors, said:
"Our demands were conceded. The
freight men get an advance of ~ per

the other four roads. to which similar
demands were made, that whatever the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas did would

The stupendous interests involved in
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas settle

side affecting the four other Southwest
roads the Missouri Pacific, Iron Noun

will be the keynote to the settlement of
wage grievances on every road west of

tlement will be the basis of settlement
on all these roads by an agreement al

STREET CAR MEN WON.
Their Demands Were Conceded by
the Montreal Company.

the Montreal Company.
Montreal, Feb. 6.-The strike of the
conductors and motormen employed
by the Montreal street railway prac-
tically ended tonight in a decisive
victory for the men. The company
conceded almost every demand made
by the employees, including a 10 per
cent. advance in wages, recognition of
the union, and the reinstatement of
recently discharged employees.
Rioting by the striking employees
and their sympathizers began early
to-day. A car was wrecked less than
after midnight, at which the action of
the union in ordering a general strike
was Endorsed. The motormen was
roughly handled and forced to leave
the car. The mob hurled stones and
bricks at the car, completely wreck
ing it. Later a motorman who at
tempted to run a car out of the barn
was assaulted and so badly injured
that in all probability he will die.
The officials of the street railway
company met a committee representing
fered 10 per cent. advance, recogni-
ton of the union and the reinstate-
ment of all men discharged for belong
ing to the union. A meeting of the
men has been called for 1890 d. m. to
ratify the acceptance of the terms Of

advantage, strive to place an effective

democratic applause.)
Commended the Bill.
Mr.. Littlefield closed the debate for
the Republicans. In opening he stated
that no one seriously believed, with the
existing constitutional limitations, that
a bill could be prepared that would
fully and adequately meet the situation.
But he believed the committee had pre-
scented a fair. reasonable and constitu
tional measure. and that as such he
hoped it would address itself to the
members of the House.
Mr.. Littlefie1d created considerable
amusement by reading a most extrava-
CANT denunciation of combinations and
then announcing that the extract was
not from the speech of any gentleman
on the other side, but from a speech of
Sir John Culpepper, delivered in the
English Parliament 262 years ago.
THEY had 'em then" said he, "just
as we have 'em now. 1 call your at
tention to the fact that there was no
protective tariff in those days"

He traced the history of combinations
back to 23OO, B. c., to show. he said.
that combinations had always existed,
and that there had been an cutlery
against them. 1t showed further, he
said, how old and how difficult the
problem before Congress was.
Speaking of the bill. Mr.. Littlefie1d
said it was not contended that the pub
licity feature was specific or cure-al
for monopoly, but only that it was a
step in the right direction, helpful to
the public in the three connections
where corporations touched the people
namely, as investors. creditors and
consumers. In reply to a question Mr..
Littlefe1d said he did not believe Con-
gress should penalize over-capitaliza-
ton. To do so. he said, would produce
a panic, but publicity, he insisted
would acQuaint the people with the
facts and the evils of over-capitaliza-
ton and this would be gradually cor
rected.
Toward the close of his speech Mr..
Littlefe1d was frequently interrupted
with questions. When he concluded
the general debate was formally de-
clared closed, and the House adjourned.

From the New York Times.
Paris, Ian. 7.-All that Sarah Bern
hardt does has an interest for Parisians
and for all the world as we'll. She is
so wonderful at her age. Every one is
divided between amazement at her and
Theroigne, in Hervieu's "Theroigne de
Mericourt," which she is playing here
now, she looks seventeen-not a day
older.
1t may be interesting to know that
Sarah Rernhardt has her tomb built.
1t is at Pere la Chaise, only a step be-
hind that of the Rochambault family,
where Americans always stop to see
the two cannon from Yorktown that
serve as columns on each side of the
tomb doors. Sarahs tomb is a simple
canopy of polished graystone, under
which is a coffin of stone. On it is cut
in big letters the one word, Bern
hardt."
It is a story told in Paris, and be-
lieved, that the tomb is empty, and that
Sarah comes there on All Saints Day
and always before leaving for a tour
abroad to pray and leave a wreath of
flowers. For my part, / think the
tomb is not empty-but that is a be-
lief l could not support by proof-but
on the day that Sarah is buried l am
sure something will be said on that
matter which would be out of place
now. Until then Parisians will believe
that among Bernhardts queer goings
on is that of decorating her tomb that
is to be-of paying pious visits to the
spot where she is to sleep her long
sleep. 1t would not be out of harmony
with her nature were 1t true. NJ. A.
