TEMPERANCE WORKERS.
THIRD DAY OF THE WOMAN’S
STATS CONVENTION.
The High License Issue Its Bearing
Upon Prohibition - The Legalized
Manufacture and Sale of Liquor De
dared an Inexpressible and a Na
tional Shame.
The Woman’s Temperance Convention as
aembled at 1) o'clock yesterday morning. After
singing, Mrs. Dr. Blanchard read the morn
ing scriptural lesson and led in prayer.
Mrs. Chandler, Mrs. Birch, Mi's. Turhuttou,
Mrs. Foamy and Mrs. Hanks were appointed
a eommltteo on nomination of ofillers for
next year and they were requested to report
at once.
Mrs, Welsh, of Baltimore, was introduced
to the convention and gave a very interest
ing account of the working of the ICindev
gardon school. She highly eulogized this
branch of temperance work. Each child is
a missionary and their effect is felt in many
families. The “Mother’s Meetings’’she also
described in detail. Several participated
in the discussion which followed.
The President read a communication from
Prof. Weir, District Secretary of the Na
tional Reform Association, now in session
at Chicago, asking for the co-operation of
the Georgia Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union. On motion it was ordered that
a telegram lie sent, wishing the Reform As
sociation success in its work and offering
sympathy, hearty co-operation and indorse
ment.
A “MODEL UNION.”
The practical working of a model union
was taken up and was led by Mrs. Wells
and Mrs. Chapin. Mrs. Wells graphically
described an ideal model union which she
attended in the West, and the ladies became
interested at once.
“How long shall they lie held?" inquired
one.
“One hour only,” replied Mrs. Wells.
“Don’t keep them till interest is all worn
out. Come early, work hard, and go home
early. Brevity and work is the life of the
model union."
The workings of such an organization as
shown in detail were of much practical
bcnetlt to the delegates, and they expressed
themselves highly pleased with the manner
in which the business was transacted. There
was a snap arid zeal about it that kept up
the enthusiasm and interest, and fully com
mitted the members to its maintenance. To
further carry out the idea reports
were received from various committees, and
some of these proved very interesting. Mrs.
Chapin, speaking of woman’s work, said
that she received encouragement generally
from all ministers, but that sometimes an
old “moss-back” came up.
“Eh,” inquired a delegate sitting near-,
with a look of astonishment on her coun
tenance, “what is that?”
“It is one who cannot understand any
thing that did not happen 100 years ago.
That’s an old moss-back,” sharply replied
Mrs. Chapin.
TAFFY FOR THE PRESS.
Miss Yule of Charlotte, N. C.. the charm
ing young delegate who so gracefully bore
the fraternal message from her temperance*
sisters there to the Georgia State reunion,
in her report on “Influencing the Press,”
wittily said: “I have heard tiiat chivalry
has tied from the world, but I have con
cluded that it has just taken up its perma
nent abode in the editorial rooms. Once iu
a great while we find the editoi-s cross and
glum, and they try to frown us down, lint
we will not be irov. ned down aud generally
succeed in getting published all we ask.”
Other rejiorts of varying interest were
rend, appointments were made, passages of
scripture were read and explained—esrec
cially those relating to woman's work. The
discussion tiiat followed on several points
was very spicy and brought out some sharp
repartees.
The report of Mi’s. Clairborne Snead, State
Treasurer, was then read, and on motion it
was approved.
Mrs. J. E. Bryant, formerly of Atlanta
but now of Tenn- vie, sent her report on
“Social Pur *.\ Co-operating with the
White Cixiss Army.” As she has removed
from the State, she also sent in her resigna
tion as Superintendent of that department.
The report was rend by Miss Stokes. It was
very exhaustive, and fully covered the
ground.
Mrs. Sibley stated that it is the intention
ot tho Woman's Christian Temperance
Union to petition the Legislature for funds
to carry out this jp -oat work.
THE HIGH LICENSE ISSUE.
The Committee on Resolutions made a
partial i-eport, and the following was adopt
ed unanimously:
Rr-xolved, That thia convention does not recog
nize high license ns a stop toward prohibition.
It has Iwen found an obstacle where tried. Wo
stand upon the principle that if the traffic Is
right, it is wrong to impose a heavier burden on
it than on any oilier traffic. If wrong, no amount
ot license will trake it right.
Several othei resolutions were presented,
recommending tho appointment of a State
organizer, urging public and social work
for the young, such as parlor meetings,
young ladies’ work, flower missions, ami
more work at State and other fairs and
public gatherings generally. They con
demned the legalized manufacture and sale
of spirituous liquors, and declared it an in
expressible evil and a national shame. Tho
union lias determined to petition the Legis
lature for prohibition laws, and not to cease
its efforts until prohibition lias been ob
tained. A resolution of thanks was referred
Lack os the committee desire* more time.
THE UNION’S PLAN OX WORK.
The Finance Committee reported the fol
lowing recommendations: First, that each
local union give 25c. of every dollar paid
into its treasury to the State union; sec
ondly, that each local union give ono enter
tainment yearly, the proceeds for State
work; thirdly, that the Corresponding Sec
retary of the State union be paid a salary of
$25, also all expenses incurred in attending
the annual convention and for stationery,
etc., each local union to contribute $1 per
month for this purpose. Tlit-.se recomniou
tions were adopted und the ri*i>ort was ap
proved.
Mrs. Wells had a few words to say to the
ladies regarding the imixjrtaneeof their sub
scribing to the Woman’s Christ ian Temper
ance Union paper, the Union Signal. The
];>er was started by the ladies without
capita! or experience, and it has been a great
success, it is owned by the unions, each
State union living entitled to two shares
of stock. Besides {laying for ail the mate
rial in the office and eight, fine presses, the
concern pays a good dividend on its stock.
“No man hud anything to do with it,” ex
claimed Mrs. Wells, triumpliantly. “We
women started it, built it up anti fully own
it. We employ sixty ladies in the rntabllsh
ment, aud one man— to do the drudgery. It
is a grand success. Indie , but you must not
forget that is indispensable to y our work.”
THE I.ITTE FOLKS PLEASED.
Vhe afternoon session convon.-d promptly
at 8:30 o’clock -with a full attendance. The
vouthful members of the Loyal Tenqierance
Liegion occupied one ride of the liall and
their bright faces and sparkling eyes added
not little to the attractiveness of the as
sembly. Miss Jennie Smith, Superintend
ent of the railway work of the union led
t nvii" votional cxei’eises. Prof. Beardalee, iif
Florida, whose musical skill and abilities
Lave added so much to the pleasure of the
meetings, waa introduced to tne little jpeople.
and in a twenty minutes' pleasant andgtyiinl
talk gained their attention thoroughly and
gave them some good advice in a''manner
suited to their comprehension. He then
sang anil played for them, which they re
xvardod by vigorous applause.
Min. Chapin uddresaed them very pleas
ant'y on the vices of untruthful! as, tonacno
ami snuff using, liquor drinkii .etc., and
had the little folks greatly intor<-u,mL Then
bright replies to questions asluvl showed that
they understood the drift of h< r Uiri. ar.-i
at ite rinse she complimented them li:glilv
ml thanked them for their clcuc nttent nr.'..
Mrs. Sibley also complimented i iwma:i th* n
quiet and mo h-st behavior. Pr f. 'l -
played a march and the children, quietly
placing themselves two by two, marched
out, keeping step to the music.
FLECTION OF OFFICERS.
The nominating committee, in submitting
its report, discovered that tU- by-laws r.re
seribed that the election must be by ballot.
On motion it was decided to vote on each

As Mrs. Sibley was conducted to the chair
the delegates arose and gave the Chautau
qua salute twice repeated. Mrs. Chapin
struck up “Praise God from Whom All
Blowings Flow,” and tlie audience joined in
with a gusto. “We do that,” said Mrs.
Chapin at the close of the singing, impaling
the Morning News reporter on her ex
tended forefinger, probably to fix his
attention, a way of “italicising” the re
marks. “ns all good officers come from God.
There is chance int,he matter.” Mrs. Sibley
feelingly responded to the greeting. Miss
Stokes, the Corresponding Secretary, was
also saluted.
ATLANTA TO HAVE THE NEXT CONVENTION.
After some discussion regarding the place
of meeting for the next annual convention,
the friends of Atlanta carried tho day, and
it was decided to hold the next convention
there the second week in April, 1888, com
mencing on Wednesday and continuing in
session tour days.
The “question box” created some interest,
but the questions were too few to get the
plan in operation. A general discussion
arose regarding various features of union
work.
Mrs. M. C. Rowe and Mr. Osgood, her
father, from Brunswick, were called up and
introduced to the convention, and made
short addressee. Two delegates from Jexup,
Mrs. Cleary and Mrs. Bradly, wore also in
troduced.
The programme for to-day's exercises was
then announced. At 9 o’clock the Execu
tive Committee will meet at the hall, and at
10 an informal experience meeting will to
held. There will be no afternoon meeting,
but to-night Mrs. Wells will lecture at
Masonic Hall. On Sunday afternoon Miss
Jennie Smith will conduct services at 5:30
o’clock.
A crowded house greeted the union last
night.
THE EVENING SESSION.
Miss Stokes, Corresponding Secretary,
read her annual report, a most carefully
compiled and exhaustive paper. In
closing, she appealed strongly for
prohibition, and pictured the evils
of intemperance with an eloquence
that secured her the fullest attention. She
paid Savannah and its people; a high com
pliment. ‘‘We have met in many large cities
in this State; have always received the
most courteous ami hospitable treatment
from all, especially the press; but I can say
it from my heart, in no other city have our
meetings been so carefully and accurately
reported, and so much space freely allowed
us, as by tho press of your fair city, and for
which we return earnest and heartfelt
thanks.”
Mrs, Chapin and Mrs. Wells spoke for
nearly three hours and held the attention
and interest of the vast audience. Both
Mrs. Chapin and Mrs. Wells are eloquent
and magnetic speakers, perfectly at home
on the rostrum and they did good temper
ance work last night, if the close and earn
est attention given by the audience is any
criterion.
At the close of the meeting the delegates,
their hostesses and escorts, were invited to
an elegant lunch, spread in their honor by
the energetic members of the Young
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, of
Savannah. The occasion was a very pleas
ant one aud all present enjoyed it greatly.
A CHAT WITH MRS. SIBLEY.
“We have had the State organization
only since 1883,” said Mrs. W. Cl. Sibley,
who has held the Presidency of the union
since its formation, in reply to a query of a
Morning News reporter. “There were six
unions in existence in 1800 and 1881. These
were at Atlanta, Augusta, Romo, Macon,
Columbus and (Savannah. The first perma
nent organization was in 1883, and Mrs. Gov.
Colquitt was our first President. She served
only a short time when I was elected and
\ have held the office ever since.”
In reply, to an inquiry as to what is tho
ratio of increase of the unions and members,
Mrs. Sibley said:
“It is very hard to say definitely. The in
crease has been great ever since its organiza
tion. When tho Woman's Christian Tem
jxM-nnce Union first sent out the petitions for
the local option bill it attracted attention to
the organization,and the temperance people
rallied to us and it gave the union a de
cided impetus. Unions have increased rapid
ly and the membership in proportion. The
interest s greater now than ever tofore, and
the additions to our memtorship are cer
tainly very cheering and encouraging.”
“How about the annual conventions?’
• Well, they rnwgrowlng in interest also.
Tlie first convention was held in Atlanta,
tho second was at Augusta and the third
was held at Columbus. Last year we met
at Macon.”
“What has been done in the line of work
among the colored people!”
“Much. In the larger cities most of the
unions have an auxiliary for colored people
and the reports are exceedingly flattering
for this branch of our work. The colored
people realize, for tho most part, the groat
importance and value of prohibition to
them and they assist us by every moans in
their power."
CHASED BY A WILD STEER.
Pedestrians Driven From the Streets
in the Eastern Part of the City.
The entire police force could not have
cleared the streets in the eastern part of the
city ill h3 time than they were cleared last
night by a wild steer. Tho animal escaped
from u drove that was being taken across
the city from the Savannah, Florida and
Western jdenotx to Cox’s stock yards,
and for half an hour tore up
and down Boutli Broad and
adjoining stroets, hooking at everything
that came in his way and driving pedes
trians from the sidewalks, up stoops and
over fences.
At South Broad and Price streets the in
furiated animal dashed into a saloon and up
to the bar. Tho proprietor “treated”
to a bucketful of ice water, nud
the beast retreated. A crowd of men and
boys gathered i nitride and the animal mode
a dnsii amongst them, knocking down a ne
gro boy. Ho then ran up South Broad to
Lincoln, closely followed by the crowd, yell
ing and hooting. At Lincoln street a little
child was run over, but was unhurt. The
yelling by the crowd maddened the animal
and he turned und rushed ut a negro boy,
tossing him on his horns into the street. He
theu turned toward tho river and dashed into
a carryall and collided with a carriage, which
was being driven up Bay street. At the foot
of Habersham street tile beast attacked a
sailor, Thomas Murray. Murray seized tho
steer’s horn* and held’ on f< >r grim death.
Policeman H. M. Morgan and several others
entne to his assistance, and the nnimal was
shot. Murray was seriously injured in the
groin and in his right leg. The police ambu
lance was sent for and lie was removed to
Bt. Joseph’s Infirmary.
Two other steers escaped from the drove
and ran wild in the southeastern
part of the city. Officers were sent

BRUTAL TREATMENT AT SEA.
Judge Spoor Investigates a Caae After
tho Grand Jury.
The United States Court and grand jury
do not seem to agree in all things. On Wed
nesday the grand jury in its presentment
returned a true bill against William Beyer
for assault with intent to murder. Beyer
was a seaman on the American bark C. B.
Hazeltine, which arrived at Brunswick from
Buenos Ayres April 9.
Shortly after leaving Buenos Ayres Beyer
became involved in a quarrel with the mate
of the vessel and stabbed him. A. L. Crow
ley, another seaman, interfered and was
also stabbed by Beyer. The latter was put
in irons and was confined between decks.
Crowley was charged with beating Beyer
while in shackles. The case was reported, to
the grand jury which found no bill. United
States District Attorney DuFont Guerrv was
satisfied that there wiis sufficient evidence
before tho grand jury for the finding of an
indictment against Crowley, ami he urged
the holding of a magisterial examination.
Judge Speer state! that he would conduct
tlie examination which was hold yesterday.
Several witnesses were sworn, one of whom
testified that ho heard Boyer, while he
was shackled, scream murder, and he saw
Crowley hit him on the head with a club.
Another seaman testified that he beard
Beyer scream murder, and he ran to where
he was confined. When he got there saw a
club lying near the shackled man and
Crowley just leaving his side. Other wit
nesses testified that they saw Crowley kick
Beyer. Judge Speer deemed the evidence
sufficient to hold Crowley, and he was held
in #4OO bail to appear ct the Novem
ber term of court. Beyer’s case will be
called up for trial on May 18.
A QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
The Salas-Green Case In the United
States Court.
The case of Ramon Salas against Charles
Green’s Son & Cos., action on an alleged
breach of contract, was taken up in the
United States Court yesterday. There are
several suits pending, which were originally
brought in the City Court, blit which were
transferred. A motion was made to have
the suits remanded, on the ground that the
plaintiff is a citizen of the Unit'd States and
of Georgia.
The defendant’s counsel, Messrs. Charlton
& Mackall, objected to tho motion, claiming
that the plaintiff, who is a native of Spain,
has never been naturalized.
The plaintiff, in endeavoring to prove Ills
citizenship in the United Statee, offered as
evidence a certificate from a court officer in
Charleston, which recites that Mr. Salas was
admitted to citizenship in the United States
Court of South Carolina in 1857. Deputy
Clerk Burdell is in charge of the r p,, ords.
The plaintiff also offered as proof of his citi
zenship an alphabetical index of the Charles
ton court records, in which Mr. Salas' name
appeal's as having taken tho oath of alle
giance Jan. 14, 1857. Tho court min
utes, however, show that there was no
court in session on that date, it having ad
journed on Dec. 9 previous to Jan. 10. At
tached to the clerk's certificate and filed
with it in 1889 was a formal renunciation
by Mr. Salas of all rights of American
citizenship. After examining the evidence
Judge Speer held that the certificate was
not sufficient proof of Mr. Salas’ citizenship.
The plaintiffs will introduce other docu
mentary proof to-dav. The case is exciting
considerable interest.
To the Washington Drill.
It is now settled tiiat none of the Savan
nah military companies will attend the na
tional drill and encampment at Washing
ton. Judging, however, by the number of
inquiries that have been made at the rail
road offices concerning excursion rates for
the celebration it is probable that a good
many Savannahians will visit the capital on
the occasion of the encampment, which will
begin on May 22 and continue until May 37.
Military companies or citizens going to
Washington in parties of twenty-five or
mm by way of the Atlantic Coast Line
will be sold tickets at the rate of %of a
cent a mile, making tho price $l2 06 from
Savannah to Washington and return. No
special rati' for single persons has yet been
announced, but at a recent meeting of the
Southern Passenger Association it was de
cided to give single passengei’s attending the
drill a special excursion rate of 2c. per mile,
and it is expected that single tickets will
soon bo placed on sale at this rate.

.Savannah 3, Charleston 31.
Memphis 38, Mobile 8.
Nashville 14, New Orleans 10.
This is tho way yesterday's Southern
League games resulted. Charleston and
Memphis had regular picnics. The scores
for the three games footed up altogether 93
runs. Einslio wax a “pudding” for the
Carolinians, anil wax pounded at will. No
body was surprised at the result of
the game after it was known that
Emxlie was to pitch. It was
pretty understood that
would lie put in, but Manager Peltz decided*
to save him until to-day. Smith pitched
for Charleston and was very effective, hold
ing the visitors down to 9 hits. There was
very little interest taken in the game here,
audf not more than a dozen people at a time
were at the bulletins. What little interest
there was lay between the Charleston game
and those at Nashville and Memphis.
Charleston Has a Picnic.
Charleston, S. C., May 12.—The Char
leston team celebrated its rctnum home and
the opening of the league season hero by
sitting down heavily on the Savannahs to
day. The first five innings of the game were
played in the midst of a thunderstorm accom
panied by light showers, and the attend
ance was therefore limited to about 1,500.
Very few ladies were out. The locals had a
sort itf a base ball picnic, pounding Emslie
to pieces and chalking up 21 runs, while the
visitors only succeeded in getting one man
over the home plate in each the first and
ninth innings. In spite of its oue-sidedness
the game had many interesting features,
and at times there were some brilliant
plays, notably a splendid running
catch by Reilly—an almost imposible
feat, and the heavy hitting by
the locals. Hutchinson. the short
stop of the visitors, ployed so wretchedly
that his place was supplied by Peltz in the
fifth inning. By that time, however, the
visitors had liecome “rattled,” and couldn’t
catch up. The folio whig is the score:

Forty-six Runs at Memphis.
Memphis, May 12. —Tho opening game
between the Memphis and Mobile
teams was one of the most re
markable ever played here. In the
fourth inning Memphis sent twenty-one
men to tho bat, scoring sixteen runs before
the side was retired, two men being left on
bases. Such slugging in one inning, such
muffling, such fumbling of grounders, such
wild throwing and dropping of fly balls was
never before witnessed on the grounds.
Mobile’s short stop appeared to be afraid of
tho ball and got out of its way several times.
The score tells the story.

Nashville. May 12.—The game between
Nashville and New Orleans to-day was a
beautiful one, ami Nashville won by hard
hitting. The score was tied pretty well

port a fine club is apparent from the fact
that the twelve games here averaged $5OO a

THE RACE QUESTION IN CHURCH.
The South Carolina. Diocesan Con
vention to Discuss It.
The color question, which has been agitat
ing the Diocesan Convention of South Caro
lina for several years and which is likely to
become on issue in it* present convention,
is by no means a now one in Carolina. The
minutes of old St. Michael's vestry show
that the colored man and brother was, even
as far back as the last century, the cause of
trouble to his white brethren.
An extract from the minutes of April 27,
1773, is as follows:
‘‘Ordered, That Mr. Benjamin Baker have
benches made and fixed in the aisle from the
north to the south door, and othei-s near the pul
pit, solely to be appropriated to the use of poor
white people who may want seats, and that the
sexton accordingly remove the lynches, the
property of negroes, now in the places, either
into the gallery or under the belfry, and that no
negroes shall be permitted to sit on the benches
ordered to Ik made. *
“Resot uei|P That no person of color shall in
future occupy a pew in St. Michael s church.
That Mr. Itodgors call upon such of those who
are in arrears for the sums due, and forbid their
entering the ews again.”
At a meeting on Aug. 30, 1801, a commit
tee was appointed to confer with the archi
tect on the propriety of erecting two gal
leries on each side of the organ for the ac
commodation of people of color, and an
estimate for building the same.
On June 30, 1811, it wuh “Resolved, that
the Sexton be directed to prohibit Negroes
from going up the steeple on days of pub
lick rejoicing.”
On Oct. 11l the vestry “Resolved, that the
treasurer purchase 26 copies Common Prayer
Book for use of poor persons of colour, who
worship at St. Micheal’s.”
Ou Nov. 15, 1818, the following was
adopted:
Resolved, “That the committee on repairs be
authorized forthwith to contract for eight addi
tional pews in the centre aisle, and that they do
report a plan by which the persons of colour shall
lie accommodated, who will thereby be deprived
of the seats they now occupy.”
On June 30, 1822, the following resolution
was adopted:
“Resolved, That permission be granted to the
70 Society to have their oration 4th July, but on
the express condition that a guard be placed at
each door of the church to prevent the intro
duction of people of colour, who have heretofore
been found very much to interrupt, and incom
mode the citizens attending: the vestry conceives
also on other accounts that the good of the com
munity requires that they should henceforth be
debarred from hearing the orations on this day.”

There are two corps of engineers in the
field between Athens and Atlanta—one run
ning a route via Lawrenceville and the
other running from Atlanta toward
Athens. By June 1 enough of the line will
be located to begin grading. It is the in
tention to begin breaking dirt both at At
lanta and Athens about the same time, and
hasten the completion of this link as fast as
possible. The route from Athens to the
Savannah river lias pretty well been set
tled on, but another survey will be made
as soon as the Atlanta end is located. There
is now no doubt, the Athens Banner-
Watchman says, aliout the early comple
tion of the Georgia, Carolina and "Northern
road.
To Break the Lease.
A startling rumor is afloat in Tennessee
railroad circles. It is to the effect that the
stockholders of the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad, which is under a lease of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
way, are preparing to make an attempt to
break the lease. The cause of the trouble
is the scoop of the cast Tennessee system
by the Richmond and Danville, and the new
alliance is not pleasing to the stockholders
of the Memphis road, and they are doing
some very vigorous kicking in consequence.
They claim that the same revenues will not
accrue to the road, and that the established
business will be diverted to a considerable
extent.
East Tennessee Branching Out.
The statement that a dividend on the East
Tennessee first preferred was to have been
paid this week seems to have been untrue.
No dividend will probably be paid before
July 1, or in time for the Richmond Termi
nai Company to meet the interest on its
loan. The East Tennessee and Memphis
and Charleston Director's Committee are
meeting almost daily to consider the ques
tion of new’ extensions throughout the coal
and iron regions of Tennessee. Alabama
and Georgia. It is proposed to build about
175 miles by the several companies, either
individually or jointly, at the rate of 820-
000. Although the officials do not say so, it
is lielieved that rights will be offered "on the
extensions.

Look Out.
There is hardly ever a scarcity of any
thing or article, regarding quantity, but, not
no with quality. Stoves and Ranges are

value. To suit n demand for cheap appa

produce a lot of common, llashy slut?, that

against, it is perfectly safe to "get one of
