ROSCH lIiSHAN’AH 5645.
THE ARRIVAL OF JEWISH NEW
YEAR AND ITS CELEBRATION.
Cervices to be Held In the Synagogue
in Commemoration of the Events of
■which the Day is the Anniversary—
The Significance of the Occasion.
At sunset this evening the New Year, ac
cording to Hebraic calculation will begin,
and its birth will he duly celebrated in the
Synagogue here and by the Jewish people
throughout nil the world. It will he the
beginning of the year 5648, dating from the
creation of the world, and its arrival is the
signal for as much merrymaking and
good wishes as is the enmiug of Christmas
to the Christians. New Year, or Rosch-
Hashanah as it is called, is said
to he the anniversary of the creation of the
world, and also of the contemplated sacri
fice of Isaac by Abraham. It is the day of
the sounding of the shofar. or rain's horn,
which calls the people to a remembrance of
their sins, and warns them to prepare for
the day of atonement
A DAY OF GOOD WISHING.
Rosh-Hashanah begins at sunset
on the first day of the
month Tishri, and it eloses
at sunset on the second day. Its celebra
tion commences with services at the time of
its beginning and until its close it is duly
recognized. Friends give to friends their
tokens of good fellowship, and between
members of families are exchanged gifts.
Business is stopped and nothing is indulged
iu save the religious ceremonies that accom
pany the day and the enjoyment of the holi
day marked by friendly gatherings and
sociability. The mails are carrying to-day
thousands of words expressing best wishes
for the season from one to another over
thousands of miles and to every part of the
globe, and to-dhv between Hebrews, there
is no other feeling than that of friendship
and good wili. The tender feeling and
great love that fills the heart of the den
tile at Christinas is the same that is now
felt by the Jew, and as Christmas is cele
brated" by the Christian so Is Rosch Hash
anah celebrated by the Israelites.
TF.K SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SERVICE.
There will ho a short service in the syna
gage at o o’clock this evening, but the prin
cipal service will begin at !) :3t) o’clock, to
morrow morning. The service is divided
into throe parts. The first is a recognition of
the sovereignty of God as king of the world,
and at its conclusion the shofar is sound
ed. The second is a memorial commemora
tion of the willingness of
Abraham to sacrifice Isaac
and into this is introduced
a most beautiful poem telling the history of
that great event m the life of that wonder
ful man Abraham. The shofar is sounded
at the conclusion of this part, also. The
third part is that which calls upon the peo
ple to remember their sins and prepare
for the atonement,’ and the shofar
Is soundod again at the conclusion.
The religious feature ot the day is its rela
tion to the events which follow. Rosch-
Hashana.i is the day upon which God
judges Israel, and, as stated, it is the first
and second of Tishri. Ttte day of Atone
ment is the day upon which sentence i ■ pro
nounced, and it follows ten days later, being
the 10th Tishri. <)n the 7th, Tabernacle the
sentence is put into execution. That day is
the loth Tishri.
AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.
The idea in the religious celebration of
Rosch -Hashanah is to call the people to re
pentance and give ample time for repent
ance between the day of judgment and the
day of the pronouncing of the sentence. The
services on Monday will be conducted by
Rabbi Isaac P. Mendes and Rabbi de
Castra, and there will be ap
propriate music by the choir, which
consists of Misses Lizeron and Gloss
and Messrs. Reltarer and Walker. The cel
ebration of this anniversary is of interest to
all people of whatever nationality, if for no
other reason, because it is an event which
has been celebrated for centuries. Races
have sprung into existence and died out
since first the day became the great holiday
of the Hebrews, and its conunemmoratioii
will continue to the end.
A JUVENI , TRAMP.
A Boy Who Stai . ’t From Home
to in Riches.
Louis A. Me •„• white boy aged sixteen,
was up before the Mayor yesterday charged
with having broken a seal on one of the
cars in the Central railroad’s yard The
officer who made the arrest stated that he
had been instructed to withdraw the
charge. In reply to the Mayor’s
questions the lad said he was from
Marietta, Ohio, and that ho hail beaten
his way from then 1 . Ho expressed a desire
to go home, but said he would never go
home looking like a tramp. His plight was
rather bad, and he certainly looked travel
stained and worn out. The Mayor turned
him over to the City Court on a charge of
vagrancy.
The Atlanta Constitution of n recent
date, in a brief local, noticed the finding of
a young white boy, who looked
like a tramp, in the Central’s
yard at that place. The polioeman
who found him took compassion on tho
boy’s forlorn appearance and questioned
him about, his home. The lad’s replies were
evasive, save that he said his parents were
well-to-do, and be offered no excuse for
running away. On Ixsiug searched tho
photograph of a von' pleasant-faced lady
was found on him. The officer asked him
who it was, and as the boy looked on the
face that appeared to be gazing reproach
fully upon him, the tears came Into his
eyes, and he gasped huskily, “It’s—it's my
mother.” He listened to the officer’s kind
word, and promised to leave the city at
once and said he would go home. In all
probability this is the same lad, as the gen
eral description agrees with tho appoarance
of Meyer.
THE DOG TAX FUND.
Clerk Rebarer’s Novel Scheme for Se
curing the Dog Tax.
The good effect of Mr. Frank Rebaror’a
novel plan for collecting the dog tux this
year is seen in the increase of the fund from
?500 last year to $l,lOO so far, this, and one
district, Yaniacraw, yet to hear from. Mr.
Rebarer caught the owners of the canines
instead of the dogs themselves, and the re
sult has justified his departure from the
old rule. There is only one
thing now that troubles him,
and that is when he is busy writing, to hear
the musical accents of a 10-year-old colored
boy .come stealing over the counter with:
“Say, boas, js dis here do plaiv to git dog
colters?” Then his usual g'iod nature de
sert' him, and ills heart is too full for utter
ance as he points to the Treasurer's office,
into which toe affrighted Is >y scoots. The
clerk says he desires all to know that, while
lie signed the notices sent out, yet the tax is
payable to Treasurer Hardee.

HE WASN’T SHOT.
But His Vivid Imagination Played Him
a Sad Trick.
Pr. S. C. Parsons, who has a drug store
on the corner of Liberty and Montgomery
streets, hail quite a little circus all to him
| self last night. 1 Early in the *eveiling he
was startled by the abrupt and uncere
monious entrance of several negroes, who
bore between them the form of
Roliert H. Verdier. The spokesman
called out as soon as he had en
tered the store that his friend had been
shot and be was dying, a declaration which
a moan from the supposed shot-riddled man
emphasized. The men laid their burden
down carefully as the doctor directed, and
then stood aside, conversing in whispers, lest
the sound of their voices should augment
his pain. The doctor asked where the
wound was and the supposed-to-be-dying
man indicated by a feeble wave
of his hand, his left hip. Imme
diately it was bared, but no olyts of gore
met the doctor’s anxious glance.
The man’s laxly was then carefully ex
amined, but nary a wound could be found.
“I think you are nil right,” finally said the
doctor, with an amused smile. “I don’t see a
scratch. How did it happen ?” The corpse
recovered his vitality suddenly, and
leaping up, made the gas lights turn blue
by the violence of his feeling, while
his friends roared at the comi
cal ending of what they supposed
would be a tragedy. It seems, as one of
them explained, they were near the Market
house, and got into a row with several other
negroes. Verdier must have been hit on
the hip bone, the blo w giving him a sharp
shock. He thought he had boon shot, and
fell to the grouu<r. His friends picked him
up and carried him to the drug store, while
the assaulting party fled. Verdier’s wrath
was great over the joke at his expense, and
he vowed he would see the fellow who
struck him and make him suffer.
Scarcely had they left, and the doctor re
covered his risible- over the ludicrous as
[x-ct of the case, when Ed Fraser came in
with a genuine wound. He was badly cut
over the left eye, and by some jieculiar coin
cidence, by the same negro who struck Ver
dier. When his wound was dressed he said
he was satisfied, and that he was going
home. It’s a case alike unto “who struck

ABRAM MOORE'S CASE.
Justices Russell and Sheftall Decide
That He be Held for Trial.
Justice Sheftall obtained advice yesterday
in regiV,! to holding an examination of a
after the warrant had been turned
over to the City Court, and decided to hold
it. To give Moore all the latitude possible,
Justice Sheftall asked Justice War
ing Russell, Jr., to sit with him.
The case was called at 4
o’clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. T. L>.
Rockwell appcani 1 for the prisoner and
made an eloquent defense of his client.
Four witnesses were examined, three for
the State and one for the accused. After
weighing the evidence carefully the Justices
both decided there was good cause to hold
Moore, and he was bound ovor to the City
Court charged with carryiiig concealed
weapons. He was released on $250 bond
last evening.
One peculiar feature is the situation in
which the chief prosecutrix finds herself.
Although one Justice admitted the correct
ness of her statement by holding the ac
cused for trial, and his judgment was sub
stantiated by a brother Magistrate sitting
with him afterward, yet in another Jus
tice’s office she is charged with perjury by
t he party interested and sent to jail, where she
now is, and whore she may remain for some
time yet, as she has no money or influence
to secure her,an examination. All this, in
the face of the evidence against Moore,
which plainly proved that the pistol was on
his jierson.
AN ACCIDENT ON THE CENTRAL.
A Freight Train Jumps the Track-
Two Trains Discontinued.
All the early trains on the Central rail
road were delayed yesterday by an acci
dent that occurred at the 145-mile post Fri
day night. A freight train was going up
the grade there, which is the steeliest on the
line, and one of the journals broke. The
wheel fell down, and threw the rail out of
place, and several cars left the track. The
damage was repaired by noon, but in the
meantime all the trains had to transfer. The
night train, which should have arrived
at 5:15 o’clock did not get in until 8:30
o’clock, but that was due to a delay at Ton
nille, where three carloads of negro excur
sionists were taken aboard. The Central
has taken off trains Nos. 5 and fi. These
were put on to make the Spartanburg con
nection, but ns tiie Richmond and Danvillo
refused to make arrangements satisfactory
to the Central the S|mrtanl>urg trains can
not be run, and Nos. 5 and 6 being therefore
useless have been discontinued.
LAWRENCE HANLEY’S SUCCESS.
In Spite of Surrounding Stars Ho Re
ceives Praiseworthy Mention.
The Booth-Barrett Company, with which
Mr. Lawrence Hanley is playing, opened
its season in Buffalo, N. Y., and the notices
that it has received, indicate that it
comes up fully to w hat was expected. Ju
lius Cmsar was the piny with Booth as
“Brutus,” and Barrett as “Cassius.” Mr.
Hanley played “Octavius,” and his friends
here wore pleased to notice that he was not
ignored by the local critics, though sur
rounded by stars of such brightness. The
Buffalo Courier said: “Mr. Hatnford de
serves o word of praise for his noble aspect
as “Trobonlus,” as does Mr. Hanley as
"Octavius," mid the Buffalo News said:
“Sjieeial mention should Ihi made of Mr.
Lawrence Hanley as ‘Octavius.’ ”
In speaking of the performance of Ham
let, which took place the following night,
the Courier said: “The actor of Lawrence
Hanley should have a word of praise for its
manly vigor and evident sincerity,” and the
Buffalo limes said: “The part of the ac
tor by Mr. Lawrence Hanley is deserving of
especial praise.”

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1887.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
A Supposed Baronet Who Arrives
and Departs Very Suddenly.
Friday’s Charleston Xeu and Courier
chronicled the arrival at that city of “Sir
Ernest Paget, England," an English
baronet, who was “doing" the States for
his health and pleasure. The same paper
had an interview with the "distinguished”
gentleman in which Sir Ernest express
ed his dignified views of Americans and
their ways, and also said he was greatly
astonished to note how well the Duke of
Marlborough was ti-eated, adding, with a
drawl (an English one, of course): “And a
peculiar thing in you Americans to me is,
vou know, that he is received here, while at
his home he is to some extent boycotted.”
Tho noble Baronet spoke of his home in
London, and said he was an intimate friend
of Rider Haggard, the novelist, and author
of “She, “King Solomon’s
Mines,” and other novels.
Judging from the denouement, the
Baronet had read of some of Haggard’s va
garies to advantage. His great trouble at
Charleston was that he had lost a
watch chain made of a bracelet taken from
an Egyptian mummy and presented to him
by the Khedive of Egypt, Yesterday morn
ing the baronet shook the dust of Charleston
off his aristocratic feet, so to speak, and left
for this city. Arriving hero at a few
minutes past ten he went to the Screven
House and registered. No room was as
signed him though he expressed himself as
desirous of staying several days in this
beauteous city. " While sitting in the ro
tunda and inhaling Savannah’s pure
air, he chanced to lie handed a slip from
tho New York Herald, of Sept, lfi, contain
ing a special from Newport, R. 1., doted
Sept. 15, which alleged that one “Ernest A.
C. Paget,” of I/union, had suddenly disap
peared from that bright social world, leav
ing numerous dishonored drafts behind him.
The dispatch stated that drafts drawn on
Drexel, Morgan & Cos., for various
expenses of # Mr Paget, including his
board bill," had been returned dis
honored, no funds having been at
the bankers to his credit. Mr. Paget left
for Boston Sunday afternoon and intended
to go to New York to tho races this week,
so the special added. He is about B*s years
of age and in height is about five feet seven
inches, and a good dresser. A bruise over
the left eye attracted attention.
The case was placed in the hands of the
Newfxirt police authorities Friday evening.
His creditors mourned his summary exit
and his ladv friends failed, to account for
his sudden departure on Sunday.
The “titled” Englishman read the slip
carelessly and scarcely changed color or ap
peared to be anywise affected by it. But
in a very short time he sauntered up to the
counter, and, taxing his valise, said he
would go out for a lunch. Ho was seen no
more at the Screven House. The 1:30
o’clock Florida express, on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad, bore “Sir"
Ernest to fresh worlds to conquer. There
seemed no cause for the gentleman’s hasty
departure, unless, it may be, the Herald's
special was trenching on delicate grounds.
VISITING FIRE CHIEFS.
Delegates to the Atlanta Convention
Stop for a While in Savannah.
The National Convention of Fire Chiefs
will convene at Atlanta Tuesday, Sept. 20,
and a large number of the delegates are
now en route. Most of them travel leis
urely and stop at the principal cities and
visit the fire departments. Yesterday was
a great day for the Savannah depart
ment, as there were a large number
of the visiting chiefs in the city,
and Chief Fernandez had his hands full at
tending to them. Among them were Chiefs
Charles O’Shay, of New York city; Thomas
F. Nevins, of Brooklyn; Frederick Horning,
Buffalo, N. Y. ; J. B. Flynn, Long Branch,
N. J.; Samuel McGowan, South Nor
walk, Conn.; A. P. Leshure, Spring
field, Mass.; J. C. Lvnch, Holyoke,
Mass.; B. Bryson McCod, Pottsville, Pa.;
Capt. George F. Griffin, Boston, Mass. Also
the following gentlemen connected with the
fire departments: M. J. Hampton, Long
Branch, N. J.; Charles G. Beauxmar, New
Y.; J. B. Markey, D. A. Woodhouse and
Henry C. Zeiler. of Buffalo; Henry A.
Moyo, Chelsea, Mass.; Mr, Callahan, of
Boston, a manufacturer of fire department
supplies.
Those gentlemen are the guests of Chief
Fernandez and he has taken great pains to
show them around the city. The conven
tion will lx: a notable one from the gath
ering of such a body of men and
Savannah should be represented there.
The delegates are all sent by
their respective cities and their expenses
paid. Such a convention cannot but great
ly aid the work of fii-o departments, and
certainly Savannah should secure the beue
ilt of it, especially as the distance is so
short.
SELF-DESTROYING BIRDS.
An Odd Scene Witnessed in the Court
House Square Last Night.
Full a score of people were gathiyed out
in the court house square last night and
all were bird catching. Around the electric
lights on the tower there flew what seemed
to be an enormous quantity of little birds,
and every uow ami then one of them would
fnll to the ground, and soon it would lie
picked un by one of the numerous people
who was watching for an opportunity to
catch the little creatures. They swarmed
about the light in countless numbers,
and off in the distance, where
the rays of light penetrated but faintly,
their white breasts looked like shooting
stars. Mr. T. Perry, the taxidermist, was
there picking up all he could. He said that
tin' birds wore Maryland yellow-throats ami
red-eyed virios. They are migratory birds,
and they are now on their way tr> South
America to spend the winter. lii their flight
they are guided entirely by the moon and
stars, and when none of the heavenly lumi
naries are shining they are at a loss whither
to fly, so they seek ary light that they see.
For that reason they surrounded the
electric towers, and many of them flew
against the tower or the wires, and, being
stunned, fell to the ground. No less than
~<KI of them were picked up in the Court
House .square, and there is no telling how
many were found in other places. Thore
was scarcely ail office which was lighted lost
night into which they did not Iljr, and many
of them were caught in sucli places. These
birds destroy themselves hi their migrations
more than any other, and it is hut a small
percent, of those who start who ever return
to the place which they leave.

A QUESTION OF REBATE.
An Interesting Matter Relating to
Coastwise Cotton.
Quite an interesting question is agitating
cotton circles in this city. It refers to the
rebate on coastwise cotton. Before the sea
son opened tho Central railroad announced
its purpose to allow a rebate of 65c. per bale
on compressed cotton shipped over its road,
and intended for a foreign market, and a
rebateof 50c. per bale on that intended for
coastwise shipment to a domestic market.
This arrangement it seems still holds good,
but it is understood that the Central rail
road is about to announce that it will no
longer allow the rebate of 50c. on the cot
ton shipped coastwise.
There appears to lie a disposition not to
talk about the matter. This probably arises
from the fact that a committee of the Cot
ton Exchange is considering it, and will
have a conference with the general mana
ger of the Steamship Company, Gen. Sor
rel, this week. In fact it is understood that
there have already been conferences with
regard to it, but it is not known whether a
settlement, that will lx* in every respect sat
isfactory, will lie reached. It is understood
that the proposed refusal of the fifty cents
rebate does not meat with the approval of
the Cotton Exchange. Doubtless there will
be developments in connection with the
matter in a day or two.

Labor-saving machinery is being con
stantly introduced as a factor in saving
time, patience, anxiety and money. In no
one direction is the need of some such
means more marked than in the household
tiffnirs and household management. The
winter’s supply of coal and wood is in itself
a bugaboo, nut when the thought is com
pleted with it, of the amount of time and
labor to bo exjxnded in starting tires, rak
ing down uslies, renewing the supply for the
stove and grate by lifting a heavily loaded
hod. etc., with the accompanying dust, dirt
and labor then the need of a simple fuel
'always ready for use, light and easily han
dled; also doing away with trouble und
labor is a blessing, indeed. The Earth Fuel
Company at 2 Platt street. New York city,
has put on the market the Earth Fuel,
which combines in a remarkable degree the
qualities spoken of. The Fuel is said to burn
instantly and brilliantly, and to overcome
all the objections raised against other fuel.
It also reduces the question of economy to
a fine point. It is having an immense sale.

GENERAL RAILWAY NEW3.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The Palatka, Fla., street railroad will he
built by the Palatka Street Railroad Com
pany.
Machine shops will lie established by the
Augusta and Chattanooga Railroad Com
pany, at Augusta, soon.
A bill has been introduced into the Geor
gia Legislature to incorporate the Jackson
ami Indian Springs railroad.
The Apopka, Clay Springs and Gulf Rail
road Company is being formed in Florida.
The capital stock will probably lie $300,000.
Efforts are being made to build a railroad
to grauite lands about four miles from Con
years, Ga. If the road is built several quar
ries will be opened and developed.
Messrs. Conant, Lornerd, Boylston and
Owens, of the Florida Southern Railway,
and Capt. James C. Baker, of New Orleans,
left Palatka Thursday in a special oar for
Punta Gorda. Something may be expected
of this trip, as Capt. Baker is said to be the
representative of a steamship line.
“The subject of a railroad to Athens from
this place has been well discussed here this
week,” says the Jefferson Herald. “Our
people are elated over the interest mani
fested in the enterprise by the people of
Athens. Nothing is needed now but ror the
people to measure their interest with their
money. Every step taken to help our town
outside the building of this road tends to
injure her interests. If we can convert the
talk and newspaper squibs into subscribed
stock the road will soon be built. Let your
money speak.”
Madison Madisonian : Messrs. Hampton
and Bradine, having completed their con
tract, have picked up their tools and refuse
to take another contract until they get pay
for work already done. All hands passed
through this city yesterday en route
for Macon. They have taken a contract on
the Great Southern and Florida railroad,
but will come back to the Macon and Cov
ington as soon as they get pay for past ac
counts. Mr. Hampton says" the money is
good, but he cannot afford to wait so long
for it. Col. Toon Powell is still pegging,
and his convicts are throwing dirt even
day. We are yet hopeful that things will
come out right and that the road will be
pushed through immediately. As to its
final completion no one has ever doubted
since the road reached Monticello.
Interesting Statistics.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad is
now regarded as one of the big systems of
the country, and its business is increasing
every month. From the mechanical de
partment of the road the following figures
of the August business is obtained:
Miles operated 2,346.7
Number of engines 485.
Number of engineers 10,871.
Number of Firemen 1.394.
Total engine mileage 1,278,492.
The total expenses of the road for the
month were as follows:
Engineers and firemen's wages. $70,328 71
Watching and cleaning 8,78198
General expense 9,897 67
Oil and waste 8,201 99
Water supply 5,166 80
Fuel , 66,880 66
Total $188,648 75
The cost of repairs amounted to $39,862 89
or an average of $3.13 per mile, making the
total cost of running expense and repair
$203,511 64.
During the month two passenger engines
on the main stem lowered all previous
records of mileage, one making 10,551 miles,
the other 10,161.
A Sound Legal Opinion.
E. Bainbridge Munday, Esq., County At
torney, Clay county. Tex., says: “Have
used Electric Bitters with most happy re
sults. My brother was also very low with
Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but was cured
by timely use of this medicine. Am satis
fied Electric Bitters saved his life.”
Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Kv.,
adds a like testimony, saying: He posi
tively believes that he would have died had
it not been for Electric Bitters.
This great remedy will ward off, as well
as cure all Malarial Diseases,and for all Kid
ney, Liver and Stomach Disorders stands
unequaled. Price 50c. and $1 at Lippman
Bros.’ drug store
Hit on a Good Thing.
When Messrs. Lovell & Lattimore placed
the Farmer Girl among their array of cook
ing stoves they made a good addition. This
stove has proved a remarkable one in many
respects; whether its name is the cause of
its immense sales in the country or not it is
hard to say, at any rate the Farmer Girl is
sought after by every one, and each day
numerous inquiries and orders are received
for it. No stove since its introduction here,
about eight years ago, has proved so very
popular.

Some Facts Worth Knowing.
I would respectfully call the attention of
my customers and the public to the fact
that I have now in store the most complete
stock of furniture and carpets, and all goods
pertaining to my business, which are of
fered at very low prices. In my furniture
department you will find from the cheapest
to the very finest goods, at as low, or lower,
prices than ever offered in any Northern
city. Come and inspect the goods and com
pare, and you will find it to your advantage
to buy from me. It is a rare chance to find
an establishment which carries such a com
plete stock of goods as I do in household or
office furniture. In my carpet department
there is nothing in that line 5-011 may waut
that Ido not have in stock. Carpets, cur
tains, portierres and oil cloths I mostly im
port directly from England, which are de
livered to me through the Savannah custom
house I therefore claim the advantage of
selling a good article for a little advance on
domestic goods, and the goods 1 sell will al
ways give satisfaction, and are never mis
represented. Respectfully,
Emil A. Schwarz.
