TO FIGHT STABLEMEN
UNDERTAKERS WANT LOWER
PRICES ON CARRIAGES.
MAY ESTABLISH A STABLE
on MUTUAL COOPERATIVE PLAN
UNLESS DEMANDS ARE CONCEDED.

Have Postponed Decision on Matter
for Thirty Days-ThinIS That with
Increased Price Charged General
Public Greater Concessions should
BE Made Undertakers-Liabil
for Carriage Hire Borne by Under
takers and Risks TOO Great and
Wnits Too Long Compared to
Small Amount of PrOfit-Under~
takers Harmonious in Plans and
Mean Business.
The undertakers of Savannah have
got together to fight the hverymen's
combine and new tariff on carriages,
and unless the liverymen make conces-
sions they may establish a stable of
their own, operate it on the mutual CO.
operative plan and for their general
benefit. This is the situation, though
no decision has been reached and will
hardly be arrived at for month yet,
as at the last meeting of the under
takers, action was postponed for that
length of time.
The undertakers are aggrieved that
tne$ are allowed out a very SliAeill us
count on the prices charged the gem
eral public for carriages, and this de-
spite the fact that they are forced to
assume the liability for the charges of
such vehicles, pay the bill in a speci-
fled time, and wait on their custom
ers until they settle. From the loss
on carriages alone it is stated that a
firm often loses 500 to $500 year.
Considering these risks and waits,
and the fact that the liverymen are re-
ceiving higher prices than before, the
undertakers want some concessions,
and from the present outlook of the
matter will put it up to the liverymen
to make them, or buck a lively COM
petitor with the unanimous backing of
all the undertakes of the city; for, it
is claimed. there is complete harmony
among the undertakes, and that they
mean business.
The combination of interests in this
matter does not mean that there is
to be any understanding among the
undertakers as to the other depart
ments of their business. Rates, prices
and such matters they will settle each
for himself, as heretofore.

Mr.. WILLIAM MACY'S EVEN
ING OF HUM0R AND SONG.

Savannah Lyceum patrons We're en-
tertained last night in the Guards Hall,
by Mr.. ]. William Macy, humorist. Mr..

a live and pleasant mood Without any
special line of thought being pursued
the entertainer drifted from one sub
ject to another in rapid succession, Civ
ing anecdotes now at the expense of
one nationality and next time at
another's. The humor was interspersed
with vocal selections, Mr.. Macy hav-
ing a pleasing baritone voice. The
members of the Lyceum were delighted
with the evening of mirth and melody.
Miss Moynelo played the accompa-
niments for Mr.. Macys songs.

ments will be the concert by the Chica-
ga Glee Club, at Lawton Memorial,

Since Gentry Bros. wonderful collec-
ton of performing dogs, ponies and
monkeys, to say nothing of the baby
elephants and camels, were last seen
in Savannah, many new acts and fea-
lures have been trained and added
and the performances to be given here
during their three days engagement
which begins next Thursday, April Q.
will be almost entirely new. One of
the principal features is the new
pony act in which forty beautifully
spotted Shetlands take part, all in
the ring at one time. The act is of a
military order and the little animals
go through their different maneuvers
in a manner that would excite the
envy Of an old soldier.-ad.

oil. Nlf'ur and Col. Gordon MUST -Teh
i'm New Command Yesterday
Inspector General Obear and Col. G.
A. Gordon returned last night from
Statesboro, where they went for the
purpose of mastering in the new mill
tary company at that place. Both Of
fcers were highly pleased with the new
command Col. Obear left for Atlanta
at 10 o'clock last night
The name chosen by the company is
the StatesborO Volunteers. It Will be
known as Company 4 Of the First
Regiment of Infantry, and will be as
signed to a battalion by Col Gordon
later. FOrty-eight men were enrolled,
each one taking the oath of enlist
ment The officers were then elected.
These are n. J. Macmillan, captain;
Charles Z. Cone, first lieutenant; Hen
ry Griner, second lieutenant.
Col. Obear complimented the men
upon their beginning. He explained
the advantages accruing from enlist
ment in the state service and the du-
ties devolving upon the men. He was
followed by Col. Gordon, who welcomed
the men into the First Infantry and
congratulated them upon their COM
mand, whose chances of success he
said he considered very bright.
The exercises were held at 1880
O'clock in the Court House. Every
thing was in readiness for the visiting
colonies, who were accorded a warm
welcome. They left shortly after noon
for Savannah.
Col. Obear will return to Savannah
in a short while for the purpose of
mastering in the new lewiston of the
naval militia. He said last night that
he was only awaiting notification from
them. AS soon as certain men in the
city succeed in securing their dis
charges from other commands so that
they may enlist in the new division
the notification will be forthcoming.

TWO SHIPS OVERDUE.

BALTIMORE.
SUPPOSED TO BE IN STORM
MEMPHIS LEFT NEW YORK LAST
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

Either VeSseI-BOth Believed to
Have Put to sea and May Have
Gone Outside of Wind Belt.
Schooner Bradford c. French
flowed Into POrt-The berkshire
from Philadelphia Had n Rough
Trip.
The fact that the City of Memphis
of the Ocean Steamship Line and the
1tasca, of the Merchants and Miners
Line were both due in Savannah yes
terday and had not been reported last
night was not regarded as anything of
special import by the officers of either
company
The two ships were presumably both
in the blow of Sunday, the former be-
ing out from New York and the latter
from Baltimore, but it was not of
such force as to put either in any dan
ger. Both captains, it is believed,
steered for the open sea when the ba-
rometers showed trouble brewing. and
may have been entirely outside the
wind belt when the storm was at its
hight. 1t is expected that they will
both be at their wharves this morning.

Berkshire's Rough Trip.
The steamer Berkshire of the Mer-
chans' and Miners Line, which ar
rived on Monday from Philadelphia,
reported lively shaking up during the
blow. The ship did not deviate from
its course, but made its regular sched-
ule. The passengers, however, had
sad tales to tell of the wind and the
rain and the general uneasiness that
such weather always brings.
The schooner Bradford c. Fren h,
from Norfolk. with a caAgo of coal,
was towed into port yesterday. The
schooner was outside the bar Sunday
morning and failing to get in anchored
off Martins Industry light and role
out the storm. Both anchors were put
down, and even then it seemed not I'M
likely that the chains might pa. .. The
schooner was completely washed over
by wave after wave and those on
board spent a very rough, uncomfolta-
BILE day.
The pilot boat j. H. Estin, which had
i'm rTxrlo
roads at 10 o'clock, and after having
attempted to make satisfactory anchor
age, was forced by the wind ard wat
er to come further up the river.

81 don't see why men run after me so.
1 am not beautiful; l do not dress
handsomely, and 1 am not wealthy. A
minister advised me to arm myself for
these brigands, and even said he would
buy me a pistol"
In this manner Miss Grace Hartman
yesterday morning first addressed sew
eral officers at police headquarters, and
later talked to a dali dozen people at
the City Exchange. She said great
deal more besides, and left two let
tiers to be read by Clerk of Council
Bailey at to-night's meeting of City
Council. Miss Hartman insisted upon
seeing Mayor Myers. She was tempo
rarily disposed of, however by Deputy
Clerk Charlie Hernandez.
Among other things Miss Hartman
called Rev. A. M. Williams the town
marshall and announced that Judge
Norwood was a coward because he had
ignored a challenge from her to fight a
duel She declared that she wanted to
collect $4,000 damages from the city,
and insisted that this amount would
hardly cover the interest on the amount
that is really due her. She charged
that the police are blind, and did not
seem to be aware of the fact that at
the morning session of Police Court a
negro boy arrested by Detective Bos-
tick for interfering with her, has been
fined S. by Recorder Myrick.
In a letter to Judge Norwood Miss
Hartman and her sister say, among
other things: Some say we do rot
dress to please them. Those who say
that are too crazy to attend to their
own business, much less to have the
audacity to talk about their superiors.
1t has reached the point where blood
will have to be shed. We will fight
any one who is in charge of the city,
but it is more than we can do to fight
ignoramuses, and idiotic, cowardly peo-
pie on the street. We cannot fight
$4,000 people,"
