GEN. BARRY REFUSED
TO VISIT HUSSARS.
Kept Himself Secluded From Geor-
Eia State Troops.

Kept Himself Secluded From Geor-
Eia State Troops.
Gen. Thomas H. Barry. who spent
an hour or two in the city on Friday
night, positively declined an invitation
to visit the Hussars Club. He also de-
clined to go to the rooms of the Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards or to the
First Regiment Armory.
The invitation was extended to him
by some Of the regular army officers
who were in the city with him, and to
whom the courtesy of the use of the
club rooms for themselves and their
friends have been extended by the
Hussars. Several of these officers
wished TO show him through the club
rooms and through the two armories,
but the officer declined to go. AS far
as could be learned the only reason
offered was he did not think such
course would be proper.
Regular army officers who were seen
yesterday and asked about the mat
ter declined to discuss the officers ac-
ton, answering all questions with
laugh. 1t is generally understood.
however, and this opinion was openly
expressed by those who are not bound
down by the strict rules Of the regu-
the recent criticism, for which it is
generally conceded there was no just
cause, that Gen. Barry offered on the
Georgia troops at Manassas.
1t is generally regretted by military
men here that an officer of such high
position should carry petty spite to
such extremes. During his visit it was
almost impossible for any but the reg
ular army officers to get near Gen.
Barry, or to engage him in converse
ton.
The impression made was anything
but a pleasant one in Savannah and
the general apparently failed to en-
gender in the citizens and state sol
diery that same degree of respect and
esteem which they feel for the other
regular army officers who are station
ed here and at Fort Screven and for
those who have visited the post at
Fort Screven from time to time.

RECEIVER is NAMED
FOR EMPIRE COMPANY.
Judge Speer Appoints MIR. George s
Haincs as Receiver.

Judge Speer Appoints MIR. George $.
Haines as Receiver.
BY an order of Judge Emory Speer,
Mr.. George s. Haines has been APP
pointed receiver for the Empire Dredg-
ing Company, of West Virginia.
The trouble arose over $4,000 in cash,
now in the hands of the P. Sanford
Ross company. Suits and counter
suits and interpleaders had been filed
in the City Court and in the Superior
Court, and the case was becoming con-
siderably involved. Recently Attor-
neys w. B. Stubs. and Wilson &
Rogers, on behalf of w. w. Aimar &
Co., appealed to Judge Speer for the
appointment of a receiver.
The appointment was asked on the
grounds that the case first came be-
fore the United States courts, that that
court had full jurisdiction, that, all the
moneys and properties of the company
had not been taken charge of, and
that such action would do away with
a multiplicity of suits. The court
granted the petition and restraints the
Ross company from paying out any
of the $4,000 to anyone, but Receiver
Haines.

MAYOR MYERS ISSUES
ANNUAL PROCLAMATION

Mayor Myers yesterday issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation, calling
upon the people of Savannah to OBJ
serve the national holiday.
The city has much to be thankful
for, Mayor Myers says. improvements
have been made or inaugurated this
year far surprising the record OF any
previous year.
Not only will the municipal Offices
but the United States and county Of
fees as well, will be closed on Thanks
giving. The Mayor says he hopes tC

COUNTRY JUSTICES
HAVE JUST COMPLAINT.
Former Justice of Peace Tells OF
Fees Received.

Former Justice of Peace Tells OF
Fees Received.
The announcement that the country
justices of the peace had petitioned
the grand jury to increase their fees
was read with interest in Savannah
yesterday.
Those who are well acquainted with
the laws regulating their fees, seem
to think they have good grounds for
complaint, and expressed the hope that
their fees would be made equal to
those in the city.
BY the act of 1874 the fees of the city
justices are made the same as those
of the officers of the Superior Court,
who serve similar papers. This APP
plies also to the constables of the JUS
tees. The country justices and their
constables receive the fees designated
in the code. There is a slight differ
ence in nearly every case, and the ag-
gregate makes an appreciable sum. AS
the work is the same in both cases,
harder if anything for the country
justices, there is a feeling that they
should at least receive equal pay.

LAVINIA SEIGLING
WILL APPEAL CASE,

II. A. Macbeth, on behalf Of Lavinia
Seigling, yesterday filed an appeal in
the Court OF Ordinary from the decis-
ion of Judge McAlpin, in granting the
homestead application Of Ruth V. Lo-
gan.
With the appeal was filed pauper
affidavit. The case is of interest ow-
ing to the fact that Lavinia Seigling
is the woman who was so severely lee
tured by Judge McAlpin for writing
a letter attempting to enlist his SYM
pathies on her side of the case. An
account of the hearing was given at
the time in the Morning News.

Closing Exercises.
Communicated.


The closing exercises ofSunnyside High
School took place Friday evening, April
Doth. Long before the hour for the exer-
cises to begin the people for miles around
had gathered to participate in the pleas
ures of the OCCASION and it was easy to
distinguish the parents from other visi-
tors by the eager look and anxious ex
preston of cOuntenance as each child &C
quilted himself or herself with credit.
There was intense interest from first
to last. The tableaux on Russo Japanese
war was a decided hit. l > or 20 little boys

casion was True Politeness." by Miss
Beth Edwards, only years old. Dressed
in the modern style of modern young
lady and supported by five or six small
boys, the airs which she assumed would
have done credit at the court Of Queen
Elizabeth Of old. Brother JOnathan's
Birthday Party was quite a laughable
farce and greatly enjoyed. The Bur-
glars" was farce comedy as well acted
as any your correspondent has had the
pleasure of seeing played by a theatre
company.
There were several features that deserve
special mention but time and space for
bid. Taken as a whole it was an espe-
cially well arranged program and adj
mirably carried out. Several OF the pieces
had to be left out on account of the late
ness of the hour and. while it was cool,
the crowd enjoyed the entertainment

The Safe and Sound Plank.
Raleigh Post

L o't-
This is an admirable PLATFORM
that which was adopted by the Demo-
cratic convention of Harnett County
yesterday. There are many things
in it worthy of imitation by conven-
tiOns in other counties; but there is
one plank that deserves to be her
aided from one end of the land to the
other:
eve favor the adoption, by our ma
tiOnal convention at St. Louis, OF a plat
form upon which every true Democrat
can stand; leaving out of it every dead
issue which heretofore has brought dis
cord to our ranks, as we believe that
the wisdom of the people should be
needed in our cOunsels, rather than the
theories or speculations of any one man
or faction of men,
Here is a platform that breathes
the spirit of patriotism and OF the
highest political wisdom. Ii the Dem
ocratic party would gain the con-
fidence OF the people, would unite all
its adherents with a common pur-
pose and determination would elect
it's candidate to the highest office in
the land, it must bury issues that
create divisions and promote fac
tiOns, it must agree to make its
fight upon principles which, as the
Harnett county platform says in an
other place, are ''immutable and i'm
mortal"
With such a spirit animating the
party and voiced in its declarations
ill the convention at St. Louis, there
need be no fear of the result in
November Harnett has blazed out
the way to victory. Let us all fol
low her leadership.
