8 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. lll,# - A S&vannahian Dies at Atlanta.

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 Billy Patterson t” 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.” A PROMOTION DUE TO MERIT. Liout. Morrisay Placed in Charge of the C. P. Penrose. Lieut. John Morrlssy has been ordered to Galveston to take charge of the steam launch O. I’. Penrose, lielouging to the reve nue marine service at that port. He will he relieved by Lieut. A. P. R. Hanks. Lieut. Moyrissy has been first officer of the Unitod .Slates revenue cutter Boutwell of this station for several years, and has made n great many friends, who regret his departure. He will probably leave to-night or to-morrow morning for his new station. Lieut. Morrissy’s promotion Is tile result of many years of active ami faithful service, lie lias been stationed in every district on both the Atlantic anil Pacific .-oasts, and also at Alaska. Ho is recognised as one of the most comjHite.it and reliable officers in the service, and frequently ho has been speciully selected when a thoroughly good officer was in need for extraordlnaryduty. Smith, Jones and Brown. The register at the Marshall House Giro the remarkablo record of the arrival of John Smith, John Jones and John Brown, all from San Francisco, Cal., and all trav eling together. There is generally an at mospheric disturbance when Smith, Jones and Brown m<s‘t together, but when in ad dltion to t hat they are all John's, there is great danger. Such a combination is rare, an I it would be Interesting to know how mill why those three lieoaine friends and cnmwvl the continent toget >,er. Such u eom- Unatioii would play to In;: houses if it would go mi tin* roud, an i It tlierojforo seems a pity that it should travel thus in ob scuritv over so manv miles of space. 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. Bttcklon’s Arnica Salvo.

Total valuation of cargo $6,415 52. A largo number of ladies and gentlemen visited the new Cotton Exchange yesterday and commented very admiringly on the handsome finish of the interior and the eozi ness and convenience of all the arrange ments. The members will take formal pos session to-morrow, but there will not be "any particular ceremonies. The ladies of Savannah are invited to meet with the members of the Woman’s Christian Temperanco Union on Monday next, at 5 o’clock, in the lecture room of Trinity Methodist church, for the purpose of uniting in prayer for the successful issue of the contest now pending in Tennessee for a constitutional amendment, as well as for certain cities soon to be engaged in a great struggle. 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.

Address, in confidence, World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. 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.

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.
