Who's going to run for the legislature?laa question that is Just now on everybody'smind, but it is not likely that the answerto it will come for sometime.

There are two strong factions now justas there have been for sometime past incounty politics, and both are going to con-sider the matter well before they put outa candidate.

The Citizens Club leaders are satisfiedthat they are gotng to win the light who-ever they put forward to make the racefor them. Several of them have been to-gether discussing the outlook, but it is cer-tain that they have as yet reached no defi-nite conclusion as to who will carry thebanner for them. So far there have beenno probable candidates mentioned, exceptthose whose names have already appearedin the newspapers.

The leaders of this faction say they aregoing to put forward a good man, andthey are going in to win. They claim thatthey have a majority of the registeredvotes so far as the registration has gone,

by 200 or 300 votes, and they say there willbe no doubt as to the result.

The anti-Citizens Club faction is alrovery quiet in Its movements, and has saidnothing as yet with regard to its inten-tions. It was reported that the nomina-tion had been offered to Mr. A. A. Aveilheand that he had refused to accept it. Mr.Walter C. Hartridge is talked of as oneof the most available candidates, while itIs believed also that Mr. David Wellswould make a strong race. No conclusionhas been reached, however, and probablywill not be for several weeks, as it is notoxpeeted that an election will be calleduntil the governor has recovered suffi-ciently to resume the duties of his olllce.

It was talked about yesterday that aprominent politician and one of the lead-ers. was in conference night before last

,COST OF THE PAVEMEXTS.

Ma>or Myers I Mgers With Alderman(•■muon.

Mayor Myers does not agree with Aider-man Gieason on the subject of the twen-ty-year contract with tho Warren-B<h irrAsphalt Company for keeping Broughtonstree t in repair.

The mayor was a member of council atthe time the contract was made, andthough not a member of the street andlane committee at- the time was acquaintcd with ail the details of the matter.

"The great drawback to asphalt pave-ment.” sabl Moyar Myers to a MorningNews reporter yesterday, "is the cost ofmaintenance, ami for that reason I do notthink we will have much more asphaltpaving. The contract in question wasnot gone Into hastily, but was under con-sideration by council lor six mouths be-fore it was finally gone into. Every ef-fort was made to secure a cheaper rateand we found that the rate agreed upon.10 cents per square yard per annum, wasthet best that could be done. It is true

for keeping a portion of a street in repairfor a year, but when it is considered thatthe company will probably lie called uponto resurface the street us a part of theircontract it will be seen that there are someadvantages as well as disadvantages tothe contract. If the city undertook to re-pair its asphalt paving itself it wouldhave to maintain a plant for the workwith experienced men who understoodthe business. The keeping up of the as-phalt payment is likely to prove a veryserious cost to the city in the future.”

Some of the aldermen are in favor ofpaving South Broad street with < hertand also Abereorn street from SouthBroad to Liberty street with the same ma.terlal, for the bonedt of the tire depart-ment. The subject will be brought be-fore council this fall.

TWO I’HETTV tvEIIDIX(PI.

Mr. Kenny Murries Miss O'Xelli unilMr. I iJiooy 111mm Knox.

A quiet wedding took place at the SacredHeart church yesterday afternoon at 5:30o’clock. The leading participants woreMr. William J. Kenny and Miss Mamie A.O’Neill. The ceremony was performed bythe pastor, llcv. Father Donelan. A num-ber of tlie friends of the bride and groom

were present. Mr. W. D. Vandenburg wasbest man, and Miss Katie Uarey the maidof honor.

Mr. Kenny and his bride are both popu-lar and well known young people. Mr.Kenny has been in tho employ of thel’ulaski house for several years and It isnot too much to say that his popularitylias added much to the patronage of thehouse. The bride is a charming younglady. Both have a hosts of friends who ,wish them much happiness. They will re-side on Taylor street.

Mr. James P. Lacey and Miss MarieKnox were married at the Cathedral ofSt. John the Baptist. After tlie ceremonya reception was given to the bride andgroom at the home of the bride's mother.No. 48 Bryan street, where the happycouple received tho congratulations oftheir friends.

with the fence people, who held a meet-ing, first at Hart's store, and then, it isstated, some of them went to the homeof the politician. This is looked upon asrather queer, in view of the fact that theunderstanding was that the political lead-ers on both sides of the question were tokeep hands off, no matter what their in-tentions were with regard to their ownvotes. The two faction* are not takingsides In the fence or no fence election, butare badly split on the question, and It hasbeen the impression for some time that theleaders would have nothing whatever tosay outside of the matter of casting theirown votes. In one instance, however, thereappears to have been a variation from theunderstanding.

The registration Is still going on fromday to day at the office of Tax CollectorJ. J.*McGowan, the law requiring that thebooks be kept open throughout the year,though no voter is allowed to registermore than once during one calendar year.Those who are registering now will be al-lowed to vote In the election for repre-sentative whenever that election takesplace and at all other elections occurringthis year, after the election for fence orno fence. A few are calling in at theoffice from day to day, to have their namesput on the books, but there is no particu-lar rush in the business just at this time.

BEATE.Y AT HIS OWH GAME.

A Thief Arrested for a Crime HeI,aid to Another.

James Mordecal, who was arrested bythe detectives several days ago, wasturned over to the superior court yester-day morning, to be tried on the charge ofburglarizing the house of Henry Russell,colored.

Mordecal, before being arrested, tried tohave another negro arrested for the theft.At the police barracks he reported to De-tectives Kiley and Wetherhorn that hehad seen a negro man out west of the citywith two gold rings, which he had reasonto believe had been stolen. The detectiveswent out with him and arrested a negrowho was pointed out by Mordecal. Theman arrested protested his innocence andproved that he had been at work at thetime Mordecal claimed to have seen himelsewhere with the rings. He was re-leased.

When Russell reported the robbery of hishouse at the barracks a day or tw'O later•nd gave a description of the propertyStolen, Chief McDermott rememberedMordecal and ordered his arrest. The manprotested his innocence when arrested, butAnally confessed.

The Commissioners Asked to ilurTwo Fugles for Forsyth Park.

Few people perhaps have any Idea thatSavannah has tho reputation of having amenagerie In‘lts park. The county com-missioners are In posesslon of tho follow-ing letter, whch they will no doubt actupon at their next regular meeting.

Jacksonville, Fla., June 24, 1893.—T0 theChairman and Members of the Uoard ofPublic Works: Gentlemen—l have in mypossession two flue young eagles, whichI would like to dispos of, just the birdsto put In the public parit at Savannah.If you can use them please let me know.Will sell at the small sum of $3. Yoursrespectfully, Walter H. Gourdin.

All of the commissioners are not in thecity and could not, therefore, be seen yes-terday. but it was learned that the boardwill likely decide upon the Issue of bondsfor the purpose of purchasing tho birdsfor Forsyth park.

A LET-IP 1Y THE WEATHER.

Ten Degrees Difference on Yester-day From flie Dny llcfore.

There was a considerable let up in theweather yesterday. Instead of a temper-ature of 96 degrees as the day before thjhighest temperature was 87 degrees. Theaverage was just exactly the normaltemperature, taking tho records for twen-ty-four years.

There was a falling off in temperatureall over the state. The highest the mer-cury went in tho Savannah district ofthe weather bureau was 94 degrees at Al-bany, Millon and Fort Gaines. Americus,Cordele, Gainesville and Quitman, each re-ported 92 degrees. The average highesttemperature Tor all the stations in thedistrict was 9u degrees. Alapaha whichusually sends in a high temperature, re-ported only 84 degrees.

Last night it was almost chilly In Sa-vannah, the change was so great from theday before. The Indications for to-day arefor thunderstorms and little change inthe temperature, either way.

SAD STORY OF VMIAI’I’IYESS.

.WILL AFFORD A GOOD VIEW.

flThe Stage Will He ia Full Sight otEvery Part of the Theater.

The work on the new theater is pro-gressing very favorably. The workmen,under Superintendent George Kessler areemployed Just now In putting in the floors,galleries and boxes. The lower floor ofthe theater has been completed. It formsone continuous Incline, Instead of havingthe floor of the parquet lowered belowthat of the dress circle, and every portionof it affords a full view of the entire stage.

It is the same with the balcony. Itscurvature Is not as great as that ofthe balcony In the old theater, and fromIts present appearance every seat willfurnish an excellent view of the wholeStage. The boxes, of which there willbe five on each side, will not be In theway, as they will set back toward thespace taken up by the aisles, so as not toobstruct any view. The interior may bealmost finished before the front wall andmain entrance are built. Manager J. C.Bhaw is now in New York city arrang-ing for the bookings for next season.

MADISO.Y SRI ARE'S BOYS.

More of Tlien, in Charge of thoPolice.

A special meeting of the city council willbe held this afternoon for the purpose ofhearing the appeal cases of the sevenMadison square boys who were fined $5each by the recorder on the charge of as-saulting a negro nurse in the square.

Charges were made on the informationdocket yesterday against Steele White,Jr , of 125 Liberty street, and James B.Goodman of 74 Anderson street of fightingIri Madison square Tuesday. Goodman,who is said to be a larger boy than any ofthe Madison square boys, came into thesquare and got into a row with the boysthere. In the melee he caught SteeleWhite's finger in his mouth and gave it asevere bite, from which the blood pouredfreely. The boys then chased Goodmanout of the square and through Charltonstreet lane.

Mother nnd Daughter Spend theFamily Earnings for Drink.

Catherine Bodell, a white woman 70years of age, wag before the recorder yes-terday morning on the charge of drunkand disorderly conduct.It was a sad case. The evidence

showed that the old woman and herdaughter, Sehnibb's wife, sold the pro-visions purchased by the latter for thesupport of the family and obtained moneywith which to purchase whisky and goton a drunk together.

This state of affairs confrontedSehnibbe when lie got .home, and natural-ly he was wrathy, as it Is not the firsttime it has happened. A row followed andboth were arrested. The recorder assess-ed a fine of $5 against both mother-in-law and son-in-law, but on account ofthe peculiar circumstances of the casethe fines were afterwards remitted.

Another Fugitive Convict.George escaped convict from

the South Carolina penitentiary, was ar-rested yesterday by Detectives Wether-horn and Kiley. Murray had been sent upfrom Sumter county for three years forburglary, and escaped ufter serving oneyear. This is the third escaped convictfrom South Carolina arrested here withinten days.

with Morris Brown on a charge of the mur-<ler of James Beatty, March 10. was foundnot guilty by a jury In the superior courtyesterday afterhoon.

Thomas was indicted as one of the prin-ciples in the murder of Beatty, it beingcharged that he pursued the victim, andurged hla slayer on to the killing. Thecoroner’s Jury which found Brown guiltyof the murder held Thomas in jail as anaccessory before the fact, and it was onthe charge of murder that lie was triedyesterday.

The row that ended In the killing of Beat-ty by Morris Brown began In the barroomof H. Koenemnn at Farm and Williamstreets, the night of March 13, at whichtime these three men and a number ofothers were standing at the bar drinking.

The difficulty was between Brown andBeatty, and It was not shown that Thomashad any hand In the matter at all untilafter tho participants w< re out on thestreet, where the death blow was given.

When Brown followed Beatty up andgave him the death stab In tho breast, itIs charged that while Beatty w as runningaway from his slayer he was followed by

RAXUE LIGHT TAKE! DOM X.

The Xew Channel on Tybee KnollXow t nmarked at Xiaht.

The new channel on Tybee knoll waswithout range lights last night. Thelights were taken down yesterday by Man-ager Ely of the Ross drejging Company,and the channel Is now unmarked exceptby buoys.

The lights were established severalmonths ago by the dredging company forthe guidance of its dredges, which wereworking nights, before the channel wasopened. The lights and oil were furnishedby the light house board; the piling wasdriven by the dredging company, whichemployed a keeper and maintained thelights at Its own expense since, while thedredges were at work nights; it was fortheir benefit.

Onre established, the range was takenup by the pilots and steamers entering theriver at night, and has been a part of theranges used in bringing vessels up theriver.

The first of June the dredging company-stopped its night work, and had no furtheruse for the lights. The light house boardwas so notified by Manager Ely. whoagreed, however, to maintain them if com-pensated for the service, and at the sametime recommended a keeper. The inspect-or replied that the ma'ter had been re-ferred to tfie board. Since then nothingfurther has been heard of it. Mr. Flydecided lhal he was not responsib'e formaintaining the lights ami they were takendown yesterday and stored on dredge No.5, at Tybee.

The new channel Is now unmarked atnight. In coming up the river vessels firsttake Up Tybee light; then Bloody Pointlight; then Nos. 2 and 1 lights, and afterthat the Long Island lights. Nos. 1 and 2lights are those removed.

Kiver men say that the lights are nec-essary to mark the new channel, and un-less they are re-established at once ves-sels are likely to get cut of the channeland go ashore.

The light bouse board is now building apermanent range for the new channel, butuntil it lias been completed und the lightsput up there will be nothing to mark thechannel at night.

moil SCHOOL GRADUATED.

both Brown and Thomas the latter crying“Kill the and .” Thomas wassome distance away when the cutting wasdone,' however, and there was no evidenceat !hc trial yesterday to show that he hadhad anything to do with it.

There was very little testimony to showthat Thomas had endeavored to aid Brownin the killing, and in fact, it was shownthat lie hud sought out the police and re-ported the killing after it took place. Thejury was out only a short time when itbrought In a verdict of not guilty. Thetrial took up practically tho entire day Inthe court. Thomas has been In Jail and un-der Indictment since the killing. He was de-fended by W. F. Slater, Fsq.

The trial of Lemuel Davis for tho homi-cide of William Kawls, which took placeabout a year ago, will come up in the su-perior court this morning. Davis will bedefended by Mr. Fleming G. dußignon. ItIs not known as yet on just what lines theease will be fought, but there may be anclement of justification in the plea. Be-sides this it will be remembered as havingbeen stated at the time of Bawls' death atthe Savannah hospital that his death wasnot due directly to the pistol wound but tocomplications that set In under the opera-tions that had to be performed. The killingtook place in July, 1894, on West Broadstreet, and was said to have been the resultof attentions paid by Bawls to Davis' wife.The case was a sensational one at thetime, and there will no doubt be consider-able Interest in the trial.

Joseph Heinz, who was convicted some-time ago in the city court of keeping apolicy lottery, was arrested yesterday andsent to jail. His attorney who made amotion for anew trial sometime ago, failedto file a bill of exceptions within the timerequired by law. and the motion was con-sequently dismissed. Heinz will have topay a fine of S6OO or serve six months inJail under the sentence Imposed upon himby the court. William Allen Mikell, whohad practically the same experience atiouta week ago, has paid his line and been re-leased.

The police are on the track of LewisRiley, a shrewd colored swindler, whohas been practic'ng extortion on policywriters, by passing himself off as anofficer holding warrants from Justice En-dres’ court. Riley didn't confine his op-erations to poli-y writers, but undertookto collect old accounts by extortion. If heis caught he will have a number of mat-ters to explain.

There was a lively blaze In Fried’* mar-ket restaurant yesterday morning at 6o'clock. A pan of hot lard caught firefrom the rangr In the kitchen and blazedup. An alarm was turned in from box Bs.outside, to which the fire department re-sponded. Mr. Fried and lis help suc-ceeded in extinguishing the blaze beforethe arrival of the department. The dam-age is about $25, with no insurance. Thefire delayed breakfast a short while, butthings were soon running with their us-ual regularity.

The Justice Told the Jury to GoBuck nnd Guess Again,

An amusing story Is told of the trial of acase In a justice court of one of the coun-try districts. The case was that of MaryWilliams against Annie McCarr, tho ques-tion at issue being on a distrain warrantfor rent to the amount of sl2. Attorney W.E. Morrison appeared for the platlniff andWm. Pease, Esq., for the defendant.

The Jury after hearing uii the evidenceretired and in a few minutes brought in averdict for the defendant. That did notappear at all satisfactory to the justice,who stated very emphatically to the Jurv:"That ain’t the kind of verdict this courttold you to bring In. Now yon go hack tothat room, and If you don't bring in theproper verdict I'll keep you there twenty-four hours.”

The Jury retired again and it did nottake long this time for it to reach a verdictfor the plaintiff. The other side of thestory puts the joke on the jury, as It isstated that the first verdict returned wasnot at all in accordance with the law or theevidence.

ABSOLUTELY pureAC,DS THAT 60 T 0 WASTE.IMPOHTAXT IXDI'STRIES THAT

MIGHT BE ESTABLISHED HERE.

All of the Elements for MakingGians Fonnil Close By—The Manu-facture of Sodas Has a Good Open-ing-Many Industries Which FewPeople Think Of.In an article some time ago, the Morning

News showed that Savannah's manufac-ture of fertilizers is a very extensive oneemploying a capital of ll.hOO.nnh, and thatthe business is highly remunerative, prov-ing that Savannah has recognized advant-ages for the successful operation of ex-tensive works of this kind. It showed, too.that only one half of the fertilizer!; sold inSavannah’s market are manufactured hereand that there is ample room for morefactories.

The manufacture of fertilizers is. strictlyspeaking, a chemical operation or a num-ber of such operations on a gigantic scale.

The fact that sulphuric acid can b" pro-duced and is produced here for less thanone-fourth of its quoted market value inNew York is significant, and it Is still moreso if the large amount of wasted by-prod-uct Is taken Into consideration.

It is evident that this waste of materialoccurring not alor.e in Savannah, but in allnear by cities, where sulphuric acid cham-bers are operated, as in Charleston. At-lanta. Columbia and Charlotte, would betreated Just es economically and as profi-tably In Savannah as anywhere, as theworking of such plants is similar to thosefor the manufacture of phosphates.Every sulphuric acid chamber in order toproduce the acid must use nitrate of soda,which is Imported in large quantities fromChile. It is commonly and briefly callednitre, and is alto used extensively in themanufacture of high grade fertilizers.

This nitre is placed In the sulphur furn-aces in pans with about twice its weightof sulphuric acid. This produces nitricacid vapors, which act as a conveyor ofoxygen and changes the sulphurous acidproduced by the burning of sulphur orpyltes, into sulphuric acid, provided therequired amount of air and steam are ad-mitted into the lead chamber.

After the nitric acid has escaped ’heresidue in the nitric pans consists of bi-sulphate of soda, commonly called nitrecake.

Tho three acid chambers in Savannahwaste daily, week days and Sundays, theyear round, from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds ofnitre cake. There are probably fifteenacid chambers within a radius of threehundred miles of Savannah and the ag-gregate amount of nitre cake wastfd ex-ceeds five tons per day or 2,000 tons a year.

If any equal quantity of nitre cake andchloride of sodium or common sea saltare fused together, the result will be neu-tral sulphate of soda or commonly knownin commerce as salt cake. This salt rakeIs very largely used for manufacturingglass and It forms also the first step in themanufacture of tho various grades of thesoda of commerce.

The following statement will give someidea of the profit that could be derivedfrom this technical operation:5 tons nitre cake fij 13 115 005 tons sea salt 4f $4 120 00

Cost of ten tons raw material $35 00Add fuel and labor 50 per cent 17 50

Total cost of ten tons salt cake $52 50Ten tons of salt cake ate worth sllO, sll

per ton, leave a profit of $57.50, or over100 per cent.

Three raw materials are necessary forthe manufacture of glass, silica or commonsand, lime and soda. The Savannah riversand, as it is obtainable in Immense quan-tities from the back river, is an excellentsource of silica, and can be had verycheaply by fiat loads. The city imported80,000 bushels of oyster shells for paving;these shells cost 4 cents per bushel deliver-ed here. Oyster shell lime is almost purechemical lime and is well adapted for glassmaking, the salt cake w’ould be the cheap-est possible source of soda. It Is evidentthat as far as the excellence, cheapnessand abundance of the raw material goes,Savannah has unexceptional favorable in-ducements to offer for the establishmentof glass works.

There is a very large demand for glassbottles in Savannah. The patent medi-cine and drug tiade alone consume halfa million of bottles annually. TJie brew-eries and soda water bottling works alsouse hundreds of thousands of bottles; be-sides the demand for glass in many andvaried forms is large, both In Savannahand adjacent territory. If salt cake ismixed with an equal quantity of lime orground oyster shells and 59 per cent, ofcoal dust and this mixture is fused, theresult will be black ash or crude soda. Allit needs then is only bleaching and evapor-ating. Caustic soda, soda ash, carbonateand bicarbonate of soda can all be pro-duced from black ash by various treat-ments. The commercial aspect would thenbe:Actual cost of salt caltc at $5.50

per ton, 10 tons $ 55.00Ten tons shell lime 20.00Five tons coal dust, at $2 10.00

Cost of raw material 85.00Manufacturing expenses, 50 per cent.

more 42.50

Total cost of 20 tons black a5h......5127.50Twenty-five to twenty-seven per cent,

of the black ash Is pure soda, but as thevarious soda products of commerce arc-cither hydrates, carbonates or bicarbon-ates, at leAst twice this percentage is acommercial article, corresponding toabout ten tons of soda worth on an aver-age two cents per pound or S4OO, less ex-penses of refining, carbonating or con-centrating, packing, etc., which cannot bodefinitely estimated except by a long an iuninteresting explanation. It Is, however,quite evident that there would be a verylarge margin of profit in the business.

The commercial soda is generally tei rn-ed ball potash or concentrated lye; it is,In fact, 36 per cent, hydrate of causticsoda cast into tins or bans, the balls aredipped in molten rosin.

Carbonate of soda or washing soda Issold in crystal form, two-thirds of itsweight Is water.

Bicarbonate of soda or cqoking soda isput up powdered in suitable packages.

Soda ash is a mixture of caustic sodaand the carbonate, which have been cal-cined. It was formerly made from kelr>ashes.

Savannah's wholesale trade uses inround numbers about the following quan-tities of "soda yearly;30,600 boxes ball potash or canned

lye at $2.25 per box $67,500
