8 TO VOTE OS A PASTOR. 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. ST. FAIRICX’S CHURCH FAIR Everything Ready for the Opening ho-Morrow Light.

The fair will continue proliqbly two weeks The various Catholic organiza tion* m the city huve been invited to be present, and each will attend on some night AM EMPHATIC DENIAL Of the Alleged Uallagher-H&rtrldge Marriage. A few day* ago the Mornixg New# re printed from the Hartford Times a notice which contained the statement that a mar riage had. taken place between Mr. Clifford W. Hartridge, of this city, and Miss Nellie F. Gallagher, of New Haven, while Mr. Hartridge w* student at Yale College. Li connection with the reprinted notice a dispatch from Mr. Hartridge wa* printed to the effect that the statement was not true. The following is what Mis* Gallagher has to say about the matter; Nbw Yore, Nov. 8, 1887. I hereby solemnly declare that no man-lam, nor pretease of one, has ever taken place be tween Clifford Wayne Hartndgn. of 6kvani!!*i, Go., aud myself, cor have I any claim on him whatever. N. F.

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. THE G. A. R.'S STRENGTH A Regiment of Comrades Dying Every Three Months and a Brigade in a Year. Commander Gleason, of Winfield Scott Hancock Post Grand Army of the Repub lic. of this city, has received from the head quarters of the department of Tenuessee uud Georgia Circular No. 4, giving some interesting statistics in regard to the strength of the organization. March 31, 188*1, there were 88 depart ments, 5,765 posts, and 39.3,887 members in good standing, reported as constituting the Grand Army of the Republic at that date. March 31, 1887. the returns showed 88 departments, ti,813 posts,‘and 330,946 mem bers in good standing. Increase in depart ments, n ne: posts, .340; membership iu good standing, 35,609. Of the departments showing the largest amounts expended in charity, Massachu setts leads, $51,011,83; New York, $48,- 89*1.75; Pennsylvania, $38,027.70; Ohio, $17,006.66; Illinois, $11.04 .39; Connecticut. $9,845.07; Michigan, $9,762.77; New Jer sey. $8,506.18; Kansas, $6,547.06. Nearly a full regiment of com rales die every three months, and a strong brigade dies every year. During the past twelve months 3,400 of them answered to their final roll call. 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. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT. Judge Adam* Disposes of Three In junction Cases in Chambers.

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. To the Publio. Editor Morniny .Yeu s—lt has been re pelled to mo that a conversation between Dr. L. W. Bacon and myself, has been made the basis of the “Queries’’ piropouuded to him through the public press by Mr. Thom as H. Harden.

Dashes Hero xir.fi There by the News Reporters Yesterday s Happenings Told in Brief Paragraphs—Pickings at Police Headquarters. There were three arrests by the police yesterday, cue for drunkenness, and one for fast driving. Joe Haley, who made a bed out of a log pile, on Bull street on Friday, was pulled in again by the police yesterday for drunken ness. < 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 from yet. and it £s feared that some acci 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 son Street Sunday school room will soon be 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. RIVER AND HARBOR NOTES. Happenings Among the Shipping and Along the Wharves.

Visitors al ways welcome. Seats free. 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.

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.

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.
