INDEPENDENT PRESBYTERIANS AT
THE BALLOT-BOX.
Thn Church to Decide To-Day Whether
Dr. Bacon Shall Become Its Perma
nent Pastor—How the Vota Will be
Taken—A Move to Recall Dr. Bacon
fer Another Year - The Election
Arrangam eats.
The pastorate of the Independent Presby
terian church, o far as Dr. Bacon i* con
cerned, will probably be settled to-duy.
Under a cal! of tin* elders and trustees the
members and pew-holders of the church
will meet immediately after this morning’s
service and by vote determine whether Dr.
Bacon shall be extended a permanent call.
An active eamiwiign bus been in progress
for several weeks, and both sides
of the congregation, which lias been divided
ever since Dr Bacon's Fourth of July- ser
mon. have been making a vigorous fight.
The anti-Bacon party met last night and
made up the slate for to-day’s meeting. The
meeting will be held in the Sunday school
room.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
No joiht agreement had been reached tip
to last night as to the chairmanship, al
though both parties have agreed upon their
nominations. Il is expected that there will
be some skirmishing before an organization
is effected. Each penholder and member
of the church will be entitled to a vote, and
both together approximate -MX). Quite a
number of pewholders, how ever, will not vote
at ail. The voting w ill be by ballot, either
in person or by proxy. Attached to the call
ter the meeting, which was sent to each pew
holdar and member, was a blank proxy.
SAVANNAH. (iA , .U 1887.
I hereby empower to cast
my vote at ths mooting of the pew-hoidei-s am)
members of the Independent Presbyterian
eburoh. to tie bald on the second Sunday of
November of the present year <or any subs*,
quant day) to determine whether a permanent
call Khan be gi ven to Dr. Leonard W. Bacon to
me pact orate of the church.
HOW ths. vote will be t.lken.
A large number of these proxies are held
by the leader# of each part;/. A# the names
of the members arid pew holders are <’allod
by t.be secretary each will step forward and
ballot, “For" or “Against.”
Under the call issued by tne
eiders aad trustees the vote will be
to determine whether Dr. Bacon
shall be extended a permanent call. At a
joint meeting on Friday a.u effort was made
to change the issue aiid extend to i r. Bacon
a call for six months or until
June 1, -in order it was stated
to give further opportunity to decide uj)on
his acceptability to the church. A vote was
taken and the motion was defeated by a
majority of one. The issue remains, there
fore, the. same as was first, announced. It
is understood, however, that two motions
will be put before the meeting. The first
to Extend Dr. Bacon a permanent call, and
if this motion is lost n second motion
will be made to extend a call for
a year or six months. A rumor
has been current that in the event of
failure to carry either of these motions Dr.
Bacon’s friends will secede, and build a now
cburch of which he will be mado pastor.
THE CANVASS.
Two lists of voters, which were in circula
tion yesterday, one by the Bacon party aM
the other by tire anti-Bacon party, gave Dr.
Bacon aru 'jority of thirty on one, and a
minority o> thirty on the other. The
Church fcet-adon. which is com
posed of the elders and the
trustees, is aboit equally divided.
The elders, in seniority of office", are Messrs.
W. H. Biker, Thomas 11. liardeu, Charles
K. Clmstend, R. F. Axson, Joseph Clay
and W. L. VVakeiee. Messrs. Joan L. Il ir
dee, Thomas Ballautvne, Horace
A- Crane, George J. Mills and F.
SL Hull compose the Board of Trustees.
The vote on the motion to change the issue
of the call wa* four for and live against,
two members of the session being absent.
Dr. Bacon's pastorale of the church will
end Dec 1, unless he is extended a further
call. He came t Savannah a little more
than a. year ago, and preached on irial
during November. At the end of that time
he was extended a temporary call for
one year, which will expire the
last Sunday id this month. The is-uo before
the congregation is the extending of a call
for life, uaiess the compromise movement
to elect for a year or less time, succeeds.
AID TO FINISH A CHURCH.
Rev A, M. Wynn’s Efforts in Behalf of
the Wesley Monumental
Some months ago the pastor of Wesley
Monumental church published an appeal to
th 6 Citizens of Savannah to help in raising
means to complete the church building so
greatly needed by his congregation. As
lie v. Mr. Wynn then stated, it is centrally
and beautifully located: is a noble and
commanding edifice, and when completed
will be one of the most beautiful and com
modious structures in the city. It is the
only unfinished church or public building in
Savannah. Its peculiar monumental char
acter s rongly commends it to the
tire citizenship, irrespective of
denomination, and there are none who do
not desire to see it finishes!. Bv the advice
of lrieuds Mr Wyuu defeisred canvassing
the city for hflp until fall, thinking that this
would be a more auspicious tune. Now lie,
and others eo-o^-rating with him. propose to
see how much Savannah is willing to help.
The Mof.ni.vo New r, b speaks for the enter
prise a general and generous response. Sir.
Wyun will begin a canvai* of the city to
morrow.

A Wheaton Street Jeweler Traps a
Supposed Watch Thief.
A little after 10 o’clock last night a young
colored man entered Crane's jewelry shop,
nt IVheaton and Reynolds streets., and
handed the proprietor a handsome
gold watch and chain. The chnin
was broken. The proprietor was nsked
how’much it would cost to mend it. lie
looked at it and replied “20e.” At the same
time he began tou<peet from his customer’s
manner that something was wrong, and
tunt he may not have come honestly by the
property. He inquired lus name, but the
young man refused to give it.
“Where did you get this watch J" he was
asked.
“Bought it," was the reply.
“How much did you give for it)”
“Twenty dollars/’
The watch was in r. heavy gold hunting
case and the charm was solid. Both to
gether are proftibly worth $135. Upon
being questioned further, the colored man
said that he got the watch for sl3. He was
asked to leave it until Monday, but
refused. He said that be wanted it,
to wear. His actions gave him nnay and
Crane became satisfied that ho had either I
stolen the watch or got it from mow one
who had stolen it. Ho determined to keep
it anyway and tolj his customer that he
had an order to hold the property.
After some blustering the young man
walked out. lie said thut h was going for
the police, but he failed to make any’ com
plaint at the barracks and did not return
for the watch.
The proprietor of the shop called at the
barracks later on with the watch and <bain,
wh:.-h lie holds for identification. He is sat
isiied that it is stolen property, and he is
ready to return it to the owner upou satis
factory proof of ownership.
NOT ORANGES ENOUGH.
The Crop Reported Good, but the De
mand Greater Than the Supply.
The Florida orange growers are elated
just at present over the very encouraging
outlook for the coming season. The de
mand for oranges is heavier by far than is
usual at this time of the year, and every
thing point-; to a continuance of the demand
throughout the entire season. The crop
will lx; a good one, but it is doubtful
whether it will lie sufficient to supply the
demand. It will certainly not be large
enough to make oranges a drug on tne
market.
There are some who believe the crop will
tie short, but Florida always manages to
come to the front liefore the season is out
because she is the greatest citrus producing
country in the world. Whatever disad
vantages the y ear may bring with it. she
manages to produce her valuable crop just
the same, and il seems as if the more she is
hindered, the greater are the results. In
1886 the freeze came on, but in the season of
1886-7, she produced 1/00.000 boxes, when
she had uot produced more than 1,350,000
boxes in any previous year, no matter how
favorable it "might have been.
J net at present it is almost impossible to
get fancy, bright oranges, and the prices
t hat are asked for them when they are to
be had return good prolits to the lucky
grower who may have them. Northern
buyers are telegraphing for car loads but
cun get none. The few that are in the
market bring *3 33 and are readily sold at
that price. AH grades of oranges are scarce
iuid they will probably remain so, for the
enormous demand will prevent the market
from hecoming Hooded at any time.

AT THE_THEATRE.
Comedy and the Spectacular to be the
Features of the Week’s Plays.
The week’s attractions at the Theatre are
wholly comic and spectacular. To-morrow
and Tuesday night “Two Old Cronies” will
lie on the boards, and Wednesday and
Thursday night* “The World” combination
will be hero. “Two Old Cronies” is comedy,
tragedy, music, variety, and a little of
everything else, mixed up ia a confusion
that'is as startling ns it is amusing. It lays
no claim to plot, but is written exclusively
to give all tho clever people in the cast a
chance to display their anility. The mu
sical comedy is written exclusively for
laughing purpose? The amuroment opens
in a young ladies’ seminary. The sit uations
throughout the play are as varied as gro
tesque. A grain I Indian masquerade scene,
a trip to Portland, Ore., and a mutual rec
ognition climax of all interested parties is
brought abuut in wavs brimful of humor.
In fact, the “Two Old Cronies” is what
might t>e called a burlesque farce. The re
served seat sale opened yesterday aud
started off well.
“The World” Combination.
The diugram for “The World” will open
to-morrow. The company will be here
Wednesday and Thursday night*. The
play is t|*ict*culat’. It has had one of the
greatest runs of any similar play, both in
this country atul abroad. The drama of
“The World” is by J. Z. Little, and shows
the strength aud weakness of human nature
wonderfully contrasted. It illustrate* tho
trials of one of Uncle Sun’s men-o’-war’s
men Hud his pretty sister in such u delight
ful manner us to at. once command the
interest and close attention of spectators.
This will be the last production of “ The
World” here, as Mr. Little, next season,
will send It to Australia.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1887.
A NIGHT WITH THE POLICE.
How tha Blue Coated Guardiana of tha
Peace do Duty.
“When esrabulary duty’s to be done, to be
done.
A policeman’s lot is not a happy one, happy
one.’’
The “Pirate* of Penzance” are uot in town
hut the police are, and the sentiments of the
brave squad who successfully oppose the
Pirates are the expressions of the feelings of
the real police, the guardians of the pence
as they are denominated, and, in truth, a
policeman's lot is not a happy one. There are
but few professions, callings or occupations
that require such arduous and
dengerous service a* l he police are called upon
to perform. In tee find place they are com
pelled to do a good niuiiy hours of loafing per
diem, and while the cynic may chuckle over
that fact when a policeinah apeake of the
tlie severity of his life, it is a matter of fact
that that is the hardest work that can be
imposed upon humanity.
It is bad enough when one is condemned to
do nothing by a lack of something to do,
but when the day must be put in loafing
when there is something to do just because
one Is a policeman and that something
which might; be done is not in the lino of his
duty, then loafing is doubly bat'd. A man
who is doomed to walk the unhallowed pre
cincts of Yamacruw, while a party is going
on at his best girl’s house, is indeed to lie
pitied. To think that he must promenade
from one corner to another of that Illus
trious district trying to think of something
besides the party to think about, but all the
while thinking of the party, is not to be
blamed if he permits a 5 amacraw settler to
kick a yellow dog to death before his eyes
without seeing him.
There are other things, too, that make the
iob an undesirable one. Every now and
t hen an old maid finds a man under the
bed. or thinks she does. She calls a police
man,and he has to rummage about the house
searching not only the house itnelf, but the
basement, and he is lucky if he does not
knock his shins against a decrepit table or
an old barrel. Then he goes out in the coal
house, and if lie does not try to kick the
sharp side of an ax out of hi* way he is to
be congratulated, Of course, most
of these excursions are made
simply to satisfy some scary old woman,
but ail the same’there is the possibility that
the old woman is right, and there may be a
desperate house-breaker, an escaped convict,
or some well-known town tough who is
thirsting for that particular policeman's
gore in a dark corner or behind a door. As
a matter of fact, if a policeman corners a
bold thief in a house the policeman is
at a disadvantage, for the thief will
hide himself the best way he can, and when
he finds he is going to be caught he will
probably attempt to inflict some injury upon
the officer to keep him off the chase while
he makes a bold dash to escape.
The searcher after a robber is always at a
disadvantage, and that; is the reason so
many men laugh at their wives’ fears when
the latter hear burglars in their houses.
The broils and fights ou the streets are an
other source of danger to the police. When
a man and his wife fight, if a stranger
comes in to separate them they will unite
their strength for the purpose of annihila
ting the stran er. So it is if two toughs are
engaged in a conflict. They may be earnest
in their endeavors to Hullivanize each other,
but let a policeman take a hand and both
will turn on him. When the common
enemy appears internecine quarrels
cease. But these are the least of a
policeman’s troubles. Tho soldier, engaged
in the holy cause of defending his country,
exposes his life in battle, but that is the
smallest part of his hardships. Rattles
occur two, four or six months apart, but he
starves, freezes, treads barefooted and cold
over frozen roads, or melts in hot suns ou
long marches every day. So it is with the
cops. While they are not engaged in
bloodv conflicts every day, or hunting
burglars every night, they have long hours
of duty and few of sleep, day after day and
night after night.
Tho routine of duty is tiresome and wear
ing, and a long and uudisturlied rest is
something never obtained. The regular
force of men here consists of forty-eight
privates, four Sergeants, one Lieutenant
and the Chief. The privates are divided
into two platoons of twenty-four each, and
the day’s round of duty begins at *S o'clock
fi m. At that hour the first night relief,
wenty-four men. goes on and walks the
streets until midnight. Then the second
night relief goes on and the first goes to
bed. Twelve men of the ttrst relief go
home to sleep until 8 o’clock in the morn
ing. The other twelve sleep at the bar
racks to serve as a fire relief,
and for other calls, and
at 6 o’clock they go on the day watch from
6to 8. At 8 the other half go on duty and
walk until ! when tha day watch goes on
again and does duty until’6 p. in., when the
second night relief of the night previous
goes on {hat evening as the first night, re
lief. Thus they alternate, and by this means
the force on duty at night is twice os large
as the day force. On Saturday nights three
men are called in from the quiet streets and
put on duty, one at the market, one on Bar
nard, between the market and Broughton
street, and one on Broughton street.
They remain on from 4 o’clock in the after
noon until the market closes, and they gen
a'i ally make a good haul before they get
through.
The sergeants have longer hours of duty,
though they arrange it so as to lmve one
day off in four. One of them will go on
duty at headquarters for fires and other
calls from 6p. m. until 13:45 a. m , during
which time he may sleep if there is noth
ing to call him out, He is in the office
from 1 a. in. to 4:80 a. in.; on the street
from 1:30 to Ba. m.; at breakfast unt 19 a.
m.; in the office until 3 p. in., then on the
street until 6 p, m., making twenty-four
hours of duty without intermission. The
next day he is on from Ba. m. until *1 p. m.
only, and every fourth day he has entirely
to himself. During the week, however, tb’n
sergeants manage to put in about ten hours
more than the privates in spite of their
holiday.
The prisoners conic in from various
quart -r- of the city, but the charges put
against them will generally indicate from
what quarter. If it is for fighting and dis
orderly conduct the case surely comes from
Crawford’s, Oglethorpe’s, or the (fid
Fort. If it is for plain drunk,
then the central part of tho city
made its contribution. The route
from the hotels to Crawford's, turns in
more case* than any other In the city, aud
it is always well represented in the Police
Court, especially on Monday morning. Sat
urday night is not, however, the worst.
Between the 3d anil 10th of the month,when
the railroad employes are paid off, is the
time when the police m e busy, and is then
they have to take ail the chances to which
the blue coat-s are subjected.

The friends of Oapt C. H. Thompson are
uneasy over his failure to return from a
fishing trip on which he started Nov. 5. He
sailed on that day for Ossabaw sound with
three colored men in F. H. Thompson’s boat
.Siren. They were to have returned last
Tuesday, but they have not been heard

dent has befallen them.
Tho entertainment of the Anderson Street
Presbyterian Sunday school stars at Dr.
Youge’s hall on Friday night was a great
success financially and in all other re
spect*. Tho tableaux and chnrndcs were
heartily applauded and deserved the ap
plause they received. The refreshments
were ample and appreciated, and tho other
means to gather in the nickels and dimes
proved to be very successful. The Ander

built. The present promoters of the under
taking know no such won! as fail.
Lincoln Young (colored) was arrested yes
terday for creating a disturbance ou a
Bar nard street car. 110 claimed that he
6ave Conductor J. Bock a silver dollar and
that the conductor did not give him his
change. He attempted to get it by force,
and a policemuu was called. At the bar
racks Young said he was sure ho was right,
because he had only three silver dollars and
no small change, but when lie was arrested
he was found with two dollars and two
dimes. The presumption was that he had
attempted to beat his way, and also the con
ductor, so be was locked up.

DR. J. E. SOLOMONS DEAD.
One of the Best Known Dentists in
the South Gone to His Reward.
Dr. J. R. Solomons, of Charleston, S. C.,
oDe of the bot known dentists in this coun
try, died in that city ou Friday. The de
ceased far a short while after the late war
practiced iti Savannah. Quite a number of
friends left this city yesterday’ to attend
the funeral which will take place in Charles
ton to-day.
The .Vries one/ Courier says of Dr. Solo
mon’s death that it was a painful surprise to
the large number of Charlestonians to whom
he had been loug known and with whom he
had been intimately associated. Dr. Solo
mons was, perhaps, best known in Charles
ton as a man who was in the front rank of
itu professional men, having for many
years commanded an extensive prac
tice as a dentist. He was born
in Sumter. S C.. on April 5, 1834,
and was graduated from the Medical Col
lege of Charleston about the year 1845. He
studied dentistry under Dr. B. A. Rodrigues,
and had been engaged in the practice of his
profession since he adopted it as his chosen
calling.
His death was caused bv apoplexy, the
fatal stroke occurring on Thursday night.
He was a citizen who, during a long, quiet
and unobtrusive lifetime, enjoyed the re
spect, confidence and esteem of those with
whom he had ever been associated.
Death of Mrs. Samuel F. Marshall.
Mrs. Alice T. Marshall, wife of Mr. Sam
uel F. Marshall, of Ocala, (Fla.,) died at the

a sister of Mr. A. M. Martin, Jr., and Mr.
J. Evans Martin of this city and was well

Our Church.
Time was, when each anointed one,
Who in rjod’s temple watts,
Met Kindness, tie be one of us.
The stranger at our gates.
Time was, when gentle coures.y
Ruled e’en the youngest heart:
Wheii Grace her beauteous work begun
With Love, the “better part ”
Time was. when to the old we looked
For sweet example set;
And in the “ways of pleasantness,”
Both strength and beauty met.
Alas! alas! time was, when then
Within our church’s door.
The glory bright of sainted eouls
Shone o'er us evermore!
The living felt the sacred bond
Ot memories so sweet;
Each cherished, oft with breaking heart,
Some angel s empty seat.
A mother, or it tnay be one.
Whu bore a mother's part;
A child, or children, or a friend
Unto the friendless heart.
Are they forgot—those tics that bind
The flock unto the fold;
Are they forgot those vows we vowed
In unity to hold!
J,et justice rule, and love abound.
And persecution cease;
And on the etmrch’s bosom plant
The flower of heavenly peace
And as the thistle throws her down
With every passing wind.
So let each darkening cloud of thought,
To day be tossed behind.
ON RAIL. AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.
President Alexander and Purchasing
Agent of the Central left yesterday for New
York.
•Cecil Ciabbett. who was elected President
of the Western railroad of Alabama in the
niece of L. P. Grant on Thursday, com
menced at the bottom of the ladder. He iias
been for many years General Manager of the
Western road. ”
The annual report of tlio Railroad Com
mission of Alabama has bcu submitted to
the Governor. The report, is full and com
plete, the statements being made up from
the reports of the railroad companies to the
oflloe of the commission, and it gives a clear
idea of the actual workings of tlio railway
system in Alabama. Finffn the tabulated
statements it appears that for the year end
ing June 30, 188/, there was an increase of
180.01 utiles of railroad, of 2451.73 miles of
steel rails, of 11,347,0:13 7.8 of groes receipts,
of *.>11.102 80 of gross expenditures ana of
8700,088 of net receipts.
Tile Atlanta people are just beginning to
wake up to the great importance oi complet
ing the Marietta and North Georgia railroad
to that city. The Journal comes out with a
loud shout concerning this matter. ‘ The
Augusta Keen tug .Yrnrs lias some informa
tion m reference to the Augusta and Chat
tanooga railroad and its connections which
should mouse Atlanta to the necessity of
prompt measures to secure a continuation
of the Marietta and North Georgia to
tliis city. It learns from one of the
direct, jrs that work was commenced yester
day on tlio Knoxville Southern, which will
he the Kuoxviile end of the Marietta and
North Georgia, and the early completion is
secured by the large subscription of Knox
ville and other means. The Augusta abb
Chattanooga railroad, also in process of
construction, will cross the Marietta nud
North Georgia at or near Canton, and thus
Augusta will have a close connection with
Knoxville, East Tennessee and North Geor
gia. It behooves our people to take timely
notice of tiiis movement, for trade once
diverted is not ensilv r quickly recovered.
The extension of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad to this cit;, ought to t>e
effected without delay, pot withstanding the
adverse action c/f tlio JjegHature.”
