ALL ABOUT CIRCUS SEATS.
Everybody, Says Manager Sells, Is
Entitled to n Good One.

Entitled to n Good One.
"I notice." said a Philadelphia re-
porter to Mr.. Peter Sells, manager of
the famous circus, hippodrome and wild
beast combination, coming to Savannah
on Monday, Oct. "a, "that your reserved
seats are much fewer and occupy far
less space than ordinary"
''That is true" assented Mr.. Sells,
land shows that you make good use
of your eyes, as we wish all Corners
to do"
"Why so. in that particular regard ?'
asked the scribe.
Because" was the emphatic reply,
1--WE want them to see and know that
we don't propose to be parties to the
unfortunately not infrequently employ
ed scheme resorted to for swindling
and disappointing the great majority of
our patrons. Everybody-old or young,
rich or poor, posted or unsophisticat-
ed-that pays the advertised price to
see any kind of entertainment is en-
titled to protection from imposition on
the part of its management, and any
despicable lodging of that rule involves
both fraud and disappointment. I'm
fortunately, there are shows which
covertly and outrageously violate il,
and indirectly swindle their patrons
wholesale, by adopting a reserve seat
system that virtually deprives the pur-
chaser of general admission ticket
of more than the distant ghost of a
chance to see and enjoy the perform
ance. You can see for yourself that
our reserved seats occupy less than
three-tenths of our seating capacity and
are confined TO one broad side of or,r
canvas only, every seat i'm the i'm
mense space on the other side being re-
served for and open to every holder
of a ticket. without a penny's extra
charge. SO enormous is the seating ca
pacity OF our huge hippodrome tent.
that II is very seldom necessary to
utilize the end seats. With us the
occupancy of a reserved seat is pure
ly a matter Of personal preference
not Of gouging craft and calculation,
practiced upon a generous and confid-
ing public"

SAVANNAH DELEGATION
LEFT FOR ATLANTA.

Commission To-day.

VIII Appear Before the Railroad
Commission To-day.
In a special sleeper the Savannah
delegation, that is to appear before the
Railroad Commission to-day, left on
the Central Railroad last night for
Atlanta. The party will spend the day
in Atlanta and return tonight, reach
ing.
Among those who went to Atlanta
were Mayor Herman Myers. the chair
man of the committee, Col. William
Garrard, Col. j. II. Estill. Messrs.
Jacob S. Collins, A. A. Lawrence. J..
Oscar Kulman, c. H. Dorset, d. h.

j. Rosenheim, T. II. Mcmillan, Leopold
Adler, Eldred Simkins and T. j. Din
kins. Hon. p. A. Stovall is already
in Atlanta. and will appear before the
commission with the Savannah dele
cation.
Savannah has been charged by one
side with fighting the battles of the
railroads and by another with fight
ing the low rates granted Atlanta
Neither is the case, Mayor Myers stat
ed yesterday. 1t was not the intention
of the delegation to fight for or against
low rates, he said, but 10 fight dis
ordinations. He said he was not sat
isfed that the low rates were not a
mistake, but that if Atlanta was given
them Savannah should have them also.
He believed in allowing the railroads
to charge such rates as would permit
them to make expenses and declare
reasonable dividends for the stockhold-
ers, he said. He says Savannah will
insist, however, that if Atlanta gets
the low rates she must have them
also

holding that the favors were all theirs.
The finding of the court in favor
of DIR. Morrison will meet with the
hearty concurrence of all who heard
the evidence in the case, even the
judge advocate realizing the weakness
of his case to the extent that he did
not feel ii necessary to wait for one
of his witnesses.

ly tonight.
The case against DR.. A. A. Morrison.
First Lieutenant and Assistant Sur
geon Of the First regiment, was taken
up Immediately on the converting Of
the court at o'clock last night with
out counsel.
A unique feature OF the case was the
fact that the defendant had no coun-
sci, and instead sat close beside the
Judge Advocate, upon whom he relied
for legal aid.
The charges and specifications were
read by Col Napier. in which It was
charged that the defendant had coun-
seled Lieut. McIntire not to fire and
had later induced him to abandon his
purpose, Of pursuing the mob. II was
agreed by the defendant that any por-
ton Of the record I'm the two former
cases should be made part OF the
record In his case if considered advi-
sable.

Dashed Through Streets mt FUN
Speed Along Parade Route.
With the horse going at a gallop, a
patrol wagon filled with swaying. fight
ing men, came near colliding with the
circus parade on Drayton street back
of the Court House yesterday morn
ing. A. l.. Pitts and Frank Brown
had been arrested on the charge OF
fighting at the market. and were be-
ing carried to the police station along
with two negroes. H. c. Mccall
and John Golden, who were also
charged with being mixed up in the
f=ht.
The men had been arrested by Pa
trolman ]. J. Reilly and turned over
to Policeman Laird. who was on the
wagon. When the wagon started Laird
was the only officer, except the driver,
in it. AS soon as it was started both
white men attempted to get at the ne
groes. The one officer was practically
pOwerless to control the four strug-
Cling prisoners. The driver had to
give his attention to the horse. and
so decided that the best way to help
was to get to police station in hurry.
With his horse at a gallop, he drove
down Broughton street before the as
sembled crowds awaiting the circus
parade
At different stages along the route
three citizns caught the wagon and
jumped in to aid the officer. The two
white men did not attempt to hit the
officer or the citizens, but they fought
like demons to get at the negroes
Several blows landed and the negroes
attempted to jump out. which added
to the confusion. At Bull and
Broughton streets a delivery wagon
was struck and later on a collision
with the circus parade was only avoid
ed by skillful driving. All four of
the prisoners will be tried this morn

with being drunk as well as with fight
