SET UPON BY THUGS.
BBNRY W. HOFFMANN ATTACKED
AND BEATEN BY FOOTPADS.
A Darin* Assault by Negro Highway
men—Bobbery and Possibly Murder
Prevented by tbe Timely Assistance
of Passing Pedestrians—Story of the
Attack.
One of the most daring outrage* ever
perpetrate.! In Savannah was committed
last night right in tba heart of the city and
within a few steps of the most public
thoroughfare. It was a deliberate attempt
at robbery and perhaps murder.
Henry TV. Hoffman, foreman for W. B.
Mell&Co., and a middle-aged gentleman,
was on bis way to his bouse, No. WO Harris
street, about 10:30 o’clock, and was
going out Bull street. At Strong's drug
store, at tbe corner of Perry street lane, he
took a few steps into the lane. W hllc stand
ing in the lane he was approached by a
couple of negroes.one of whom accosted biin
with, “Hello, Henry." Mr. Hoffman turned
around to the negroes and asked, “What
are you doing here t'
Tbe words were hardly out of his mouth
before one of the negroes, both of whom
were large men, struck at him anil he re
ceived the blow upon tbe right
Side of the heed, bruising his
face and cutting his lip. Before he
could make a move to defend himself the
other negro grabbed him by tbe throat and
bore him over backward. As he was being
borne down, he was struck from behind by
the negro who hit him iirst a heavy blow
upon tbe left side of the head with a slung
ehot or some heavy weapon, breaking his
hat and severely bruising his head. Mr.
Hoffman shouted, “Help, murder!" At-
tracted by his cries a num
ber of people came rushing
into the lane. On the appearance of the
crowd the footpads fled, without having
secured anything from the object of their
attack. They ran through the lane pur
sued by the crowd, but were not overtaken.
No policemen appeared upon the scene at
any time during the trouble, even after the
negroes had fled, and nothing was known
of the matter at the bnrracks shortly before
12 o’olock.
Mr. Hoffman called at the Mormno
News office about sn hour after the occur
rence, and gave an account of the assault
upon him. He was not expeotlng any at
tack, and was entirely unarmed. He
exhibited his battered hat, which he left at
the < fflee, and showed the bruises upon his
head.
The boldness of tbe assault makes it as
tounding. It was committed within a
stone’s throw of the De Soto, within a blook
of the theatre, and almost upon Bull street,
in the early part of the night, while num
bers of people were passing.

Shot in the Leg.

O'Keeffe’s drug store, oa Broughton street,

CHBIBT CHURCH CHANGES.
The Remodeling of the Historic Edifice
Approaching Completion.
Winton & Burgess, the contractors in
charge of the improvements in Christ
church, are pushing the work rapidly and
hope to have the edifice completed about
Dec. L
The Improvements consist of an entire
remodeling of the interior of the church.
The gallery windows have been lowered to
make room for a transom, which is sur
mounted by a very handsome cornice.
The north and south galleries
have been overhauled and faced
with carved wood. Tho old pillars of
these galleries are replaced with more sub
stantial ones much more pleasing to the rye.
Tbe old oboir gallery was removed, and a
new one, faced with handsomely carved
wood, has takeD it* place. All of the old
pews have been taken out, and new ones of
antique oak have lieen ordered. They will
arrive shortly, and, when plaoed in posi
tion, add much to the beauty of the ehuroh.
The chancel is to be wainscoted with
polished Tennessee marble, aud on each side
will be erected a pair of magnificent columns
of the same material, unpolished, on highly
finished bases.
The basement has also been thoroughly
overhauled, and presents a very pleasing
appearance. The storeroom which form
erly occupied the we-Wu-n port:on, has lieen
removed to the of the building,
and the Sunday school room has been
freatly enlarged, being now 54x32 feet.
he ceiling is to be panelled with Georgia
pine, and new seats are to be provided for
tbe scholars.
The walls of the auditorium are to be
handsomely frescoed and decorated, and
when the interior work is finished the ex
terior is to be painted and otherwise Im
proved. New windows are spoken of, but
the question of putting them in bus not been
definitely settled as yet.
Anew organ lias been purchased, but will
hardly be plaoed in position before Christ
mas.
The present imp'ovements will cost the
congregation about SIB,OJO, and if new win
dows are secured the amount will be con
siderably swelled, Mr. Bernard Goode has
the oontract for the plaster and fresco work.
Altogether, when the Improvements are
completed, Christ church will be one of tba
handsomest in the city.
AT THE THEATER.
“The Fairies’ Well" This Week's Open
ing Attraction.
The opening attraction of tbs week at
tho theater will be “The Fairies’ Well" to
morrow night. The play was seen hero last
season by deltghted audiences. The story
includes many very pretty scenes and in
cidents of the ideal peasant life in Ireland,
this feature being finely anil harmoniously
contrasted with the manners and style of
tbe higher classes of the conntry folk. The
special quauity of the performance by the
present troupe is the excellence of the
dialect and the characteristic style of the
Irish peasant and landed proprietor. Mr.
Carroll Johnson, who takes tbe lending
part of Larry Dee, is in his role Irish of tho
Irish. He bas a flue appearance, a resonant
tenor voice, and all the free and easy dash
of his avocation.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1890—TWELVE PAGES.
PARSON ELLIS ON HIS METTLE.
Ha Does Not Propose to Be Ousted
from His Pulpit.
It is impossible to say anything about tbe
Greene Square Baptist church affair upon
the authority of one side without an almost
immediate contradiction by the other side.
The ex-deacons and other members of the
opposition are very indignant at the posi
tion in vi leb Parson Ellis’ statement as to
tbe closing of the church Thursday night
places them, and they express strong
doubts of the parson’s capacity .to tell the
truth.
Hosea Maxwell, who is generally looked
upon as the leader of the opposition, and
John F. Jones stated to a Morning News
reporter yesterday that Maxwell nor any
of tbe ex-deacons, nor the sexton were pres
ent at the ehuroh Thursday night, and that
the doors were not locked upon their
authority at all, but by order of
the prudential committee, which has
authority in such matters. The prudential
commitiee is composed of the deacons of
the church, five in number at present, and
seven other members, appointed or elected,
twelve in all.
Maxwell says that at a meeting held at
the church Tuea lay night, of which Rev.
Ellis and all the members of the
committee were notified, it was
decided to close the doors of the ehuroh
after Oct 1, to prevent tbe pastor from
preaching, as he bad announced on the
grounds that his pastorate ceased after that
date, bv reason of a notice served upon
him of the action of a church confer
ence bold Sept. 2, notifying him
that hit pastorate would cease Oct. 1. It
was to enforce this notice of dismissal that
the meeting of the prudential committee
was called for Tuesday night. Seven of the
committee attended and took part. Two
deacons friendly to the pastor
refused to participate. Maxwell, Jones
and a large number of tbe
anti-Ellis faction met nt the longshore
men’s ball, on East Broad and Anderson
streets, Thursday night, to discuss the situa
tion, but wbat course they decided upon
has not been made public. They are de
termined, however, to enforce their
notice of dremissal upon the pastor.
Maxwell protested agalust the Insinuation
teat the opposition has any desire to bring
about the foreclosure of the mortgage upon
the ehuroh, and instanced the faot that he
paid yesterday the S2OO half yearly Interest
due upon the mortgage, having only re
ceived the warrant of the buildiDg com
mittee the day previous.
Parson Ellis ignores his dismission by the
opposing faction, and proposes to maintain
his position with the aid of the law.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY
TAKING THINGS QUIETLY.
Congressman Lester Not Worried by
Capt. Doyle’s Candidacy.
Congressman Lester is taking things
quietly in Savannah after the recent long
and tiresome session of congress.
A Morning News reporter found him at
bis office yesterday morning chatting on
the political outlook. CoL Lester has had a
large number of callers from Chatham and
tbe other counties of the First district, who
assure him of their hearty supp ort.
Col. Lester is as popular iu tbe country
districts as he is in the city, and tbe man
who makes his calculations otherwise
will find himself sadly mistaken.
He will begin a tour of the counties of the
district very aeon, with the purpose of
mingling with the people and addressing
them upon the issues of tne campaign, but
he has not decided upon any programme as
yet. He expects to discuss the matter with
the democratic leaders, and will probably
announce a programme early this week.
CoL Lester spoke with confidence of the
result of the election, and is not worried by
the opposition. The only question with him
is what will be the size of his majority, and
that is not a matter of anxiety to him, be
cause the republicans will not have a ma
jority in the next House, and Mr. Reed will
not be in the chair. Even should Mr.
Reed be in the chair, Col. Lester says he
has no fear of an unfavorable result.
“There has been a revolution against that
sort of thing,” Col. I tester said, speaking of
tbe exclusion ofc democrats whose seats
wore contested, “and the republicans will
never commit such wholesale outrages
again.”
Col. I .outer said that in tho congressional
cove ''l republicans acted upon the sup
posi □ at every negro was a republican
aud t he voted, he voted the republi
can t. and if he did not vote it was be
cause he was not permitted to, and his vote
should be counted for the republican can
didate anyway, and on this supposition they
concluded that no democrat had a right to
a seat in congress from a district having a
majority of colored voters.
Col. Lester is positive in his assurance
that the democrats will carry the next
House. “I don’t eee where people get
the idea that the democrats are not so san
guine of success as they were a few weeks
back,” ho said. "There is every prospect of
democratic success this fall. The republi
cans had only three majority at the opening
of the present congress. Ohio has been re
districted, and will give the democrats
five more representatives from that state.
The prospect is that Mr. McKinley him
self will be defeited, as there is now
a large democratic majority in his district
Then Maryland has been redistricted.and
will give the democrats two more represen
tatives from that state. Virginia sent six
republicans to congress this term, but she
will not do it again. A number
of republicans were elected to the
present congress by very small major
ities, and the probability is that some of
them will be defea'ed this fall. There is no
reason to doubt that the democrats will
control the noxt oongrosp"
Col. Lester said that the democrats will
conduct their campaign upon tho eld line,
strictly upon the tariff question. It is the
chief issue. They are not expecting any
great gains in the west and northwest, as
has been sometimes asserted, but will fight
to regain their old territory.
CoL Lester is hearty in his condemnation
of Speaker Reed’s rulings. The force bill,
he said, which has been laid aside far the
present, is likely to be passed at the next
session.

recent wrk has created a curious interest
in the “Kreutza Sonata” of Beethoven- In
quiry at the music department of Ludden

*****
Speaking of this oiassic leads to the fur

better class of music is growing very rap
idly in this city. “The proportion of clas

A SIO,OOO Piano.
The Steinways have nearly completed a
SIO,OOO piano for a wealthy New York
patron. The oase is made of anew wood
that resembles a beautiful pieoe of French
walnut. It is inlaid with ebony and with
various light wosds, forming beautiful de
signs and making ai elegant appearance.
Weaved with tbe designs are scrolls bearing
the names of the leading composers. The
legs are square and are exquisitely carved,
with gilt bands encircling top and bottom.
There are three pedals, comprising the
latest Stein way patents. Tho piano, which
is a full artist grand, rests upon a platform
made of the same wood as the case, out to
meet the design of the piano, aud beauti
fully inlaid. The seat for the player is an
elegantly carved, high-lack affair, remind
ing one of an old-fashioned family pew in
ehuroh, and is beautifully upholstered In
siimon-colored silk plush. Every care has
been taken to have the merits of the instru
ment equal is artistic appearance, and there
Is no doubt that it is the most magnifioeut
piano ever mads, both as to quality and
beauty. —Musical Courier.

Madame Von Der Hoya’s Return.
The many old time friends of Madame
Von der Hoya are congratulating them
selves upon the return of this gifted lady
to Savannah. Her brilliant playing is well
remembered, os well as her universal ability
as a piano teacher. Hor return marks em
phatically the new interest aroused in
music in this city. Madam Von der Hoya
has been exceptionally fortunate in her
musical training. Asa mere girl she at
tracted the attention of the celebrated
Moseheles, who became her first teac.ie. .
Afterward she studied for some tini9 with
the scholarly Reineeke, and finallv was one
of the few and favored pupils of that giant
among pi ino virtuosi, the great Rubinstein.
The lady has not only a brilliant command
of her Instrument, but a refined musical
sense which makes her playing unusually
interesting. There is some talk of giving a
reception piano recital upon Madam Von
der lloya’s arrival, which will bo about
October 25.
