8 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 name presented by tho committee, and the result was a unanimous adoption of the re port. The officers elected are: Fresidout —Mrs. W. C. Sibley, Augusta. General Vice Fresident—Mrs. Walter B. Hill, Atlanta. Vibe Presidents—Mrs. K. C. Witter, of Atlanta; Mrs. Dr. Blanchard, Columbus; Mrs. 11. D. Walker, Savannah; Mrs. Inez Gibson, Longview. Corresponding .Secretary—Miss Missouri H. Stokes, Atlanta. Recording Secretary—Miss Emma S. Stewart, Oxford. Treasurer—Mrs. Ciaihome Snead, Au gusta. The Superintendents of Departments will bo elected at this morning’s session. 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 • ut to kill the ojiimnls but ih*> drnverr hail already captured them.

The Chatham Gun Club renewed its prac tice shooting at the Gun Club grounds yes terday afternoon. The Isle of Hope Yacht Club will hold its annual meeting at Commodore It. M. De mere’s office to-morrow at 11 o’clock. Tho Grand Lodge- of Odd Fellows of Georgia will meet in this city Aug. 17 and 18. The Grand Encampment will meet a day earlier, on the 10th. Holicitor General dußignon, Col. R. E. Lester and Messrs. Meldrim and Adams re turned yesterday from Effingham Court, which adjourned Wednesday. Only three criminal cases were tried. Two resulted in conviction and one in a mistrial. Liberty Court will convene next Monday. The sealed verdict of the jury In the case of Isadora Cohen vs. the Factors’ and Traders’ Insurance Company and the Rochester Jones Fire Insurance Company was ojiencd in the United States District Court yesterday morning. The jury awarded Cohen $1,250 insurance—one-half the amount he sued for. 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.

The Home Club Beaten 21 to 2 at Charleston—Memphis Slugs Out 10 Runs in One Inning- Nashville ar.d #ev/ Orleans Play an Even Game. .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: CHARLESTON. A.B. R. B.n P.O. A. E.

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. Memnhis 0 5 0 16 4 3 0 10—38 Mobile 00022 2 1 1-8 Twenty-four Runs at Nashville.

The score was tied pretty well throughout the game until the ninth inning, when Nashville struck out and won by a score of 14 to 10.

Around the Bases. “Cyclone” Miller has cast his fortune with the Lincoln (Nob.) club. “Tommy” Murray asked for his release yesterday and received it. Kansas (’ity got Manning and Knowlton from the Detroit*, paying 81,300 for their loan for the present season. The business men of Detroit have pur chased between $2O, OX) and $35,000 worth of season tickets to aid the Detroit club. They wisely conclude tiiat a baso ball team brings business to a large city. The Picayune says that New Orleans pap itn pitchers 8400 a month for tlio three, tne catchers *423, the infield $450, and the out fir :d's37s for the four men, inotUfting Dowle, the substitute. This make's a total salary list of $1,740 a month, or $10,440 for the six months. This is about the cheapest club in the league. That the club is able to sup port a fine club is apparent from the fact that the twelve games here averaged $5OO a game, or $0,730 gate receipts during the first three weeks ot its existence. Besides this the eluh was considerably ahead on the De troit and other exhibition games. Colgate’s Toilet Soaps. Exquisitely perfumed, absolutely pure, popular everywhere Cashmere Bouquet 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.” GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.

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.

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.
