TURNED THE KEY ON HIM
PASTOR ELLIS LOCKED OUT OF
BIS CHURCH.
Tte Sexton Stands Guard at the Doors
and Refuses to Unlock Them—The
Mayor and Police on Hand But No
Disturbance—The Pastor and His
Party to Take Legal Steps to Re
train Possession The Opposition
Trying to Force a Foreclosure of
the Mortgage on the Church Prop
erty.
Pastor Ellis and his congregation were
locked out of the Greene Square Baptist
church last night. When the congregation
gathered at the church about 8 o’clock to
attend the regular Thursday night services,
it found the church doors locked, and the
sexton, David Moses.refused to unlock them
having received his orders to that effect
from the deacons, he said. Hosea Maxwell
and the four other deacons, or ex-deacons,
who are leading the opposition to the pastor,
were present, and were the sexton's author
ity for his action.
X ROW ANTIOIPATEP.
Mayor Schwarz, Chief of Police Green,
Sergt. Reilly and a squad of policemen
were on hand as trouble had been antici
pated. The police went to the scene with a
full expectation of a row, as threats against
the pastor had been freely made, and it was
reported that meml>ers of the opposition
bad said that if he did not get
out last nieht when requested he
would be thrown out The looking
of the church doors was rather an unex
pected move on the part of the opposition.
As they have the sexton on their side and
the anti-Ellis party is a very muscular set
of Christians anyway, they had little diffi
culty in oarrying out their programe.
Between ISO and 300 people gathered at
the church door, most of whom were sup
porters of the pastor, but there was no
demonstration.
THE PASTOR STAYS HOME.
Pastor Ellis had been notified previously
of the action of the opposition, and very
prudently remained at home. As admission
to the church was resolutely refused,
the majority of the crowd called
upon Pastor Ellis at his residence on Perry
street, between Price and Habersham, and
the pastor had over 150 callers before 10
o’clock.
A Morning News reporter took a turn
in the neighborhood of the church, and
found everything quiet.
TO TAKE LEGAL STEPS.
Rev. Ellis was seen at his residenoe. He
said that he knew yesterday afternoon of
the action of his opponent*', and preferring
to have the law on his side, he consulted his
counsel, Chisholm, Erwin & dußignon, as
to •what course ho should pursue under the
circumstances. Mr. dußignon advised him.
not to attempt to force an eutrance to the
church, but to remain quietly at homo arid
take legal steps to socure entrance, and he
acted accordingly.
The pastor was asked whether the regu
lar church services would be held as usual
during tht next few days, but he would not
say. He believed they would not until
legal possession of the church has been se
cured. Steps will be taken to that eflfect,
but the pastor could not say exactly what
move would be made.
TIIK CHURCH DEBT.
Upon the question of the church debt
which has figured prominently in the con
troversy and the threat that has been made
by the opposition to bring about a foreclose
ure of the mortgage upon the church, the
pastor made a statement of the indebted
ness. On March 28, 1889, the church, through
its building committee, borrowed from Gen.
Henry R. Jaekfon $6,000 at 8 per cent., the
interest to be paid semi-annually, and SI,OOO
to he repaid yearly. Gen. Jackson was
secured by a mortgage upon the church.
In November. 1889, S6OO was borrowed
from William Stiles, a wealthy mem
ber of the ctanrcb, for which
Stiles accepted the committee’s note at
8 percent., the conditions being that SIOO
and the interest were to be paid yearly.
These sums were expended in rebuilding
and fitting up the church.
Sept. 28, 1889, the half yearly interest,
$240, were paid Gen. Jackson, and on
Maroh 28, 1890, $1,240 were paid upon the
mortgage, according to agreement.
TRYING TO FORCE A FORECLOSURE.
The hair yearly interest was due Sept 28
last, but has not been paid on acoount of
the difference in the church, although at a
recent conference a resolution was passed
ordering the church treasurer, Hosea Max
well, to pay the amount from the funds
which he has in hand. This has not been
done, however.
Pastor Ellis said that the treasurer has
ample funds in hand to pay this interest
and also to pay William Stiles SIOO and
$8 interest when it falls due.
The pastor’s opponents hardly closed the
church doors in so peremptory a manner
without ad vice to this effect from their
counsel. From all appearances the Oreeno
Square Baptist church is in a fair way to
be involved in enough litigation to eat up
the church and impoverish all the members.
Pastor Ellis will now have a few weeks’
rest from his arduous labors.
KNOCKED DOWN BY A THIEF.
Policeman Bossell’s Lively Encounter
With a Negro.
Just after dark last night Policeman Bos
sell, who was patrolling tho north side of
Bay street, between Barnard aud Jefferson
streets, saw a negro skulking along with a
sack thrown across his shoulder, apparently
containing something of unusual sire.
The officer accosted the man and asked
him what he had in the bag.
Without answering the negro started to run.
Bostell caught hold of him with the inten
tion of placing him under arrest, when the
negro turned suddenly upon the officer aud
knocked him down, at the same time drop
ping his sack and running down the stepß
leading to the alleyway below. Bossell re
gained bis feet quickly, and, drawing his
revolver, fired three shots in rapid succes
sion after the retreating figure.
The Bhooting attracted the attention of
Nergt, Reilly and Policeman Sheehan, who
searched the lane for the fugitive, but were
unable to find any trace of him. Policeman
Bossell, however, thinks that some of biß
shots must have taken effect, as he took
good aim.
The sack was found to contain a box of
lemons belonging to Kavauaugh <Sc Bren
nan, and it was returned to them.

PREPARING FOR SCHOOL
The Attendance to Be Larger This Year
Than It Was Last.
Superintendent of Schools Baker was
kept buey ail of yesterday and the day be
fore issuing cards of admission to pupils or
their parents applying for them. About
500 cards have so far lieen
issued to white punils and about
300 to colored pupils. Only pupils
who have not attended the public schools
before, or who were not in the schools at
the end of the last year are required to pre
sent cards for admission, those pupils
who were in the schools at
the end of the last year being
admitted the following year without cards.
The cards so far issued are divided am >ng
the different schools, as follows: High
school 11, Chatham school 175, Barnard
street school 114. Massie school 82, South
Side school 42, Cathedral school 37, and St.
Patrick's school 47.
Probably 500 more cards will he issued to
white pupils to-day or to-morrow, which
will make 1,000 cards issued in all, the
majority of which, the superintendent says,
will be to new pupils.
The attendance in the public schools last
year was something over 3,000, hut Supt.
Baker says he expects the enrollment this
year to reach 4,000 or very nearly that
figure.
Everything is being gotten in readiness
for the opening noxt Monday. The teachers
have nearly all returned from their vaca
tions and are proparing to take hold with
new vigor.
Mr. A-hmore, of the scientific department
of the high school, returned from an ex
tended trip through the west day before
yesterday, having .pent Che greater portion
of the summer at Detroit and upon the
lakes. He visited the schools in a number
of the western cities and studied their sys
tems.
Prof. Thigpen of the mathematical de
partment of the high school returned from
bis vacation day before yesterday.
Principal M. A. O’Brien of tho Cathedral
school will arrive by the Boston steamer
to-day.
Priuoipal Arthur J. O’Hara of St. Pah
rick’s school will arrive to-night by steam
ship troin New York.
Principal Way of Massie school has been
spending his time in the country near Sa
vannah.
Thu large majority of the teachers speut a
portion of the vacation out of the city and
a great many of them spent the whole sum
mer iu the mountains of Oeorgia and the
Caroliuas or at the north.
FIXING UP THE RETURNS.
Supt. Patterson Closes Up the Elec
tion Work.
Superintendent of Election W. H. Patter
son was at work all of yesterday morning
attending to tho necessary details of election
business following the election. Of the
three tally sheets one was mailed to the
secretary of state, one to the presi
dent of the Senate and the speaker
of the House of Representatives
and the third was deposited with tho clerk
of the superior court of Chatham county.
The inscription and names upon the tally
sheets were the work of Capt. Charles
White, deputy clerk of the city court, and
it is safe to say that no handsomer clerkly
appearing record of election roturns will bo
presenti>a to the inspection of tho sjerotary
of state.
Supt. Patterson was generally compli
mented yesterday upon the exceedingly
orderly manner and the systematic method
in which the election was conducted. “If
only the next election will be as quiet and
orderly,’’ was the expression used by hun
dreds.
The candidates wore being oongrntulatod
by their friends yesterday, and were iu
high spirits.
In yesterday’s Morning News, by some
mistake in giving the vote for representa
tives, tho figures opposite the names of
Messrs. Ryals and Hartridge were trans
posed and tho vote of Mr. Hartridge
was credited to Maj. Ryals and vice versa.
The correct statement of the vote is:
Clifton 1,745, Hartridge 1,729, Ryals 1,713.
It was .aid at the polls Wednesday that
some of the farmers wore scratching Maj.
Ryals because of his position on tho fence
question, he being said to be in favor of “no
reuoe."
PUSHING THE ELEOTHIO LINE.
The Wire for the Belt Line Plant to Be
Btrung Next Week.
The Belt Line has carried the work of
putting up the poles for tho electric wire
from the company’s office on Habersham
street east to East Broad, down East Broad
to Bay, up Bay to West Broad and out
West Broad to Liberty, and last mght
turned the corner of Montgomery. A large
number of poles have been received and the
work is going ahead rapidly.
Supt. Saussy said lust night toat
he has been notified of tho shipment of
the boilers and engines of tho electric plant,
and the contractor is here waiting to put up
the engine as st on as they arrive.
The work of stringing the overhead wires
from the polos will begin Monday. Notice
has been received from the manufacturers
that work is progressing onoouragingly
upou the dynamos, which, however, will
hardly tie delivered this month.
Supt. Saussy says that as 8 ion as every
thing is in readiness for laying tho wires
connecting tho rails with the circuit, that
work will b ) pushed very rapidly. This is
the worst job of all, as it will be neoessary
to tear up the whole track to lay the ground
wires. The work will be most difficult on
Bay street on account of the stone paving.
Wtien the Bay is reached a large force of
hands will be put at work tearing up the
rails, placing the wires and laying the track
and the city will follow with auother force
replacing the paving in the rear of the Belt
Line hands.
The day of the electric railway is rapidly
approaching.
Considerable of a Traveler.
The hydrographic bureau lias been keep
ing track of the derilict Port Royal sea
buoy, which went adrift from its moorings
in 1886. Its latest reported position is 500
miles cast of Bermuda. The buoy broke
away from its anchorage in the latter part
of November, 1886, and its long cruise of
nearly four years makes it one of the most
notable derelicts on record. It history was
referred to last December, but since then
two more reports have been received, and
as the buoy seems to be in good condition it
may drift about a year or two longer.
Fortunately it is so plainly
marked that it can be easily
identifleiL The buoy reached a point
about 1,560 mites from Port Royal in
August, 1889, whence it drifted in a south
erly direction to its last reported position.
Total drift, 1,940 miles. Time, three years
and ten months.

occur about once in ten days. West Indian
hurricanes are likely to be encountered,
although less frequently as the Bun’s south

hour in ite celebration.
Seldom hat St. Patrick’s contained such a
large audience at a marriage ceremony.
The body of the church was crowded and

families of the bride an 1 groom and their

ALTMAYHHM OPENING.
A Magnificent Display of Fall and
Winter Novelties.
Yesterday was the annual opening day
of Altmayer & Co.’s big establishment, aud
thousands of the fair box took advautage
of the day to inspect their display of au
tumn and winter novelties. Mr. Leopold
Adler has but recently returned from the
northern markets, where he spent two
months iu selecting the latest imported
and domestic articles, and the exhibition
yesterdav and the complimentary remarks
of the great crowd that filled the store did
credit to his taste and judgment.
The millinery department attracted the
most visitors and they were not disap
pointed, as the display of new and original
effects in that departaient was simply gor
geous. Miss Bourne’s work was especially
admired, particularly her latest French
shapes in hats and bonnets. One hat in
particular attracted attention, having
twenty-four block birds ranged around tho
brim and at the baok of the crown.
Ii the cloak and wrap department the
greatest stock over shown in Savannah was
displayed on the counters, and much ad
mired by the crowd. An elegant opera
wrap attracted special attention, being a
cape of white matlasse silk, much in the
stylo of the short military cloak,
braided in gold ami trimmed with soft
wliito Angora fur. Tho jackets shown this
season are much longer than those of previ
ous years.
The novelties in black silks are the lasse,
Muscovite, Epingle, Bengaline and
Ascanio, all of them heavily corded goods,
with effects as in the black of polka dots,
brocade and stripes.
The dress trimming department was a
picture of loveliness, and vied with the
millinery in bolding the admiring crowds.
In fancy gloves for evening and street
wear the display was unusually attractive,
os was also that of combination suits.
Tho opening of yesterday was such a
success that the firm speak of having a
system of registration hereafter on such
days for the purpose of finding out exactly
how many porsons visit their establish
ment.
AT THE THEATER.
“Gondoliers” Before a Delighted Au
dlence Last Night.
Gilbert & Sullivan’s latest opera was re
peated at the theater last night. The au
dience was not as large, but was quite as
appreciative as on the first night. The com
pany Is a strong one, numerically aud vo
cally.
The solos and concerted singing by Miss
Marie Laurens, Miss Gussie Broche, Miss
Diard and Miss Aldrich was much ap
plauded.
The duet “My Well Beloved” was very
characteristic of Sullivan, the composer,
and was excellently rendered by Miss
Laurens and Victor de Lacy, the principal
tenor. Equally fine was the singing of
“Lord,” as an interpretation, by Miss
Laurens. This singer has a voioe of ex
tensive compass and considerable power
and fl 'xibility.
Mr. Walkor was a success as the “Duke
Plaza Toro.” The choruses went excep
tionally well. The Spanish cachua made a
great sensation. The costuming and sceaery
were good.
The libretto, like all of Gilbert’s produc
tions, is interesting, sportive and full of
poetic fancy. Its story and construction
are good dramatically. The musioal score
is both melodicallv and harmonically agree
able, but not as satisfactory as some of
Sullivan’s earlier compositions.
The company leaves to-day for Augusta,
where it will give “Amontta.”
THE VOTE IN BRYAN.

IS ASD ABOUT THE CITY
TO MOVE NEXT WEEK.
The Ocean Steamship Company’s
New Cfßcas About Completed.
The Ocean Steamship Company will
move into its new offices on Bay street the
first port of next week. The company had
expected to be in the new office* by Oct. 1,
but the building was not quite com
plete, a good deal* of finish
ing remaining to be done in
the interior, a: id painting and varnishing
being hardly dry. The city is in no hurry
for the offices now occupied by the company
in the city exchange, and as the company
has been allowed until Oct. 16 to remove,
Ageut Anderson has concluded to wait
until the workman have entirely finished as
he has no desire to go through an experience
similar to that of the county officials at the
new oourt house, who have Dean surrounded
with workmen aod debris ever since their
removal to the new building. •
Tne Ocean Steamship Company will
occupy the third and fourth floors of the
eastern division of the new building, or the
floor opening on Bay street, and ihe one
beneath. The Bay street fl'jor will be the
main office and will be occupied by the agent
and other officials aud clerks, and the floor
below will be occupied by the collectors and
stevedores’ pay cle-k.
In talking to a Morning News reporter
the other day Mr. Anderson said the
company has been cramped for room for
years, and it is high time for a removal, as
the business of the company has entirely
outgrown its pro ent quarters. In speaking
of the business of the company he said it la on
the increase, and is particularly heavy just
now, but there is never any diminution in
the business at any season.
When not moving cotton to market or
fish, fruit and watermelons In their seasons,
or carrying fertilisers; there are always
ample quantities of lumber, turpentine aud
rosin awaißng shipment, rig iron, too, is
carried in great quantities, but has to take
its chances when more important materials
and goods do not make up the cargo.
Mr. Audwson said the oorupany has
secured a large number of hands recently,
and is now workiug a full force. A trip
around the wharves of the oompany shows
everything in a rush. The wharves swarm
with workers, and are piled high with
freight of every description—cotton, lum
ber, pig iron and turpentine, and every
product of the south—awaiting shipment.
Bales, boxes and barrels of merchandise of
every description, machinery and manu
factured goods of all kinds from the north
and east are there in Immense quantities.
The shipments are by no means for Savan
nah alone, but to Augusta. Macon and At
lanta, Birmingham aud Montgomery, and
other points west aud sou h west.
Necessity often oompels the steamship
company to work its men on Sundays and
far into the night. Last Sundav two ships
were busy unloading all day and full forces
of bauds were at work on the wharves. The
yardmen in the Central railroad did a good
day’* work, too.
When the Philadelphia and New York
capitalists, who are going to bnild the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic railway, were here,
they were taken through the wharves, ami
opened their eyes in astonishment.
“Do they keep this busy all the year
round,” inquired one of a Savannah ia:i
near him.
CHRISTENING THEIR NEW HOME.
Protection Hose Company's House
Warming Last Night.
Protection Hose Company No. 5
christened it* new headquarters on Henry,
between Bull and Drayton streets,last night,
with a banquet. An improvised table was
arranged in the second story of the build
ing. and at 8 o’clock the following gentle
men sat down to par.ake of the good
things: W. F. Chaplin, president and
foreman of the company, Chief Fireman
Puder, William N. Niohols, Benjamin S.
Wells, A. D. Thompson, William 11. Prud
homme, Henry Helmken, A. C. Harmon,
J. W. Fretwcll, Charles Connery, Fred

Has ted t.
Protection Hose Company moved into
its new quarters, which is the property of
the oity, Aug. 12, having originally occu
pied the old house on tho north side of
Henry street, which belonged to the Mutual
Protection Hose Company. While this
company has been furnished by the city
with an engine and several paid men, it is
really a volunteer organization and is
auxiliary to the regular fire department.
It has been in existence for upward of
twenty years, and when the depart
ment was changed from a volun
teer to a paid force, Protection
was the only volunteer company retained
and recognized. It has rendered valuable
aid to the paid men upon many occasions,
it was originally organized for the protec
tion of property in the southern section of
the city.
Everybody was in good humor last night,
and toasts were responded to by Chief
Puder on behalf of the fire department,
and Messrs. Chaplin, Wells aud He'.mkeu
on the part of Protection Hose Company.
The time was passed very pleasantly until
10:30 o’clock, when the chairman announced
that the time for adjournment had arrived,
aud with a toast to the health of Chief
Puder and the fire department the guests
dispersed.

Yesterday was cloudy, but without rain.
The temperature has about reached the nor

“The Twelve Temptations.”
The attraction to-night and to-morrow
afternoon and night it Gilmore’s “Twelve
Temptations.” The rev.val of the piece
after a lapse of twenty years, and upon
such a large scale, is the most striking illus
tration possible of the advance In the
methods of spectacular production.
Eighteen years ago such a pro
duction was only possible in New
York and some of the large cities.
Now it is seon all over the oountry.
Imagine a terra-cotta ballet in a “terra
cotta” scene, and there is had one of the most
effective stage pictures ever exhibited. This
innovation is introduced iu the second act
of “The Twelve Temptations,” the scene
being painted by Homer F. Emmons, and
the costumes designed by Baron C. de
Grimm. The ballet and effects invented
by Mr. Chas. H. Yale, and arranged by
Victor Chiado.
Extra Liability to Malarial Infaction.
Persons whose blood Is thin, digestion weak
and liver sluggish, are extra liable to the at
tacks of malarial disease. The most trifling
exposure may, under such circumstances, infect
a system which, if healthy, would resist the
miasmatic taint. The only way to secure im
munity from malaria in localities where it is
prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system
bv improving weakened digestion, enriching the
blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to .the
bllliary secretion. These results are accom
lished by nothing so effectively as Hostetler's
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
provea to be theraost reliable safeguard against
fever and ague and kindred disorders, as well as
the best remedy for them. The Bitters are
moreover, an excellent invigorant of the orgaus
of urinat.ion and an active d-purent, elimlnai
ing from the biood those acid impurities which
originate rheumatic ailments.—Mdu.
