A Cessation of Service Until the
Courts Settle the Paator'e Rights.
The muddled affairs of the Greene Square
Baptist church came ▼> ry near causing
serious trouble yesterday, and bloodshed
would probably have resulted but for the
prompt action of the police.
It had been known for several days that
Pastor Ellis proposed to hold services Sun
day morning, and the opposing faction de
termined to use every means in its power
to prevent him, some going so far as to
threaten his life if he attempted to
enter the church.
As early as 9 o’clock the anti-Ellis faction
began to gather in the square in front of
the church and in the adjoining streets.
Many of them seemed to tie prepared for
trosnle, carrying heavy sticks and clubs.
Threats were made as to what would be
done in the eveut of Rev. Ellis attempting
to hold services. One old man said, “Ize
been Baptist ail my life, but I can't stan’
dat man Ellis, and we broke his neck if he
don’t quit."
ESCORTED TO THE CHURCH.
Rev. Ellis left his house on Perry street,
near Price, at 10:40 o’clock for his church
under escort of ten of his slouch sup;orters,
some of whom are members of the newly
elected prudential committee. When he
arrived at the church the square and streets
in the neighborhood were crowded with his
enemies. A considerable number of on
lookers were there, expecting to see trouble.
No interference, however, war cffert and the
pastor, and he entered the church by the
side door on President street. Inside the
church there was a congregation
of between 350 and 400, a
number belonging to the anti-Eliis
crowd. The pastor went Into the vestry
and remained there uutil 11 o’clock, when
he started to enter the pulpit. As he
stepped into the rostrum Sam Rogers and
Joe Willis sprang to their feet and started
for the pulpit, flourishing heavy walking
canes and yelling at the top of tueir voices:
“You’re not pastor of this churoh; we won’t
let you preach here.”
A RUSH FOR THE PULPIT.
This was the signal for the war to begin,
and the opposition faction started for the
sanctuary, apparently intending to oust
Ellis. The pastor’s supporters rushed to his
rescue, and among the first to reach him
were E. J. Crane and L. M. Pleasants, wbo
called out to Rev. Ellis to stand his ground
and they would supjiort him. About this
time someone in tne rear of the church
yelled "Kill him.” The women and chil
dren of the congregation commenced
screaming and crying "Murder” and "Po
lice.’ - Things looked bad for the pastor when
Sergt. Killourhy and Patrolmen Russell and
Davis entered. The sergeant forced his
way through the crowd, and up to the
pulpit alongside the pastor. He put
Rogers and Willis under arrest, and had
them taken from the church through the
President street door to avoid the crowd,
which bad gathered around the front door,
attracted by the noise within, and who only
needed the word to start them into a riot.
THE POLICE CALLED OUT.
A messenger was sent to the police bar
racks, and the reserve force of twenty-eight
men, which bad been held in readiness in
anticipation of trouble, was hurried to the
church uuder command of Chief Gren. In
the meantime, Sergt Killourhy was ad
dressing the crowd inside and trying to
quiet them. He t Id them that he knew- no
side in the matter, and was uninterested.
He was there to preserve the peace, and he
proposed to do it at all hazards. He
told the crowd to either sit down and con
duct themselves in a proper maun*. or
leave the church. He wanted them to
understand that they wei e in a place of
public worship, and any further disturb
ance nould mean arrest and severe punish
ment This had the desired effect, aud the
congregation resumed their seats.
CHARGED THE CROWD.
When the chief arrived with his detail of
officers he found President street completely
blockaded, and gave orders to charge the
crowd, which had the effect of soon scat
tering it He placed officers on the differ
ent corners to keep the streets open, and no
one was allowed to pass through the lines.
Rumors flew rapidly through the city
that a riot was in progress at the churea
and in a short time people flocked from
every direction, and by 12 o’clock fully 2,000
were iu the square and streets around.
Some of the rumors were to the effect ttiat
Rev Ellis had been shot down as he en
tered the pulpit.
THE PASTOR’S SERMON.
After things had quieted down in the
church. Rev. Ellis commenced his sermon
by reading Psalm lxvi, 16. The subject was
“God's Salvation,” and be handled it as if
nothing unusual had occurred to disturb the
even tenor t his way. He did not refer in any
manner during his remarks to the troubles
of the church, and was cool and collected
to all outward appearances.
Tne services closed at 12:30 o’olrok, and by
that hour the crowd had assumed large
proportions. Rev. Ellis left the church by
tne same door he entered, preceded by the
deacons of his faction. When they reached
the street the crowd pushed forward to
ward them, but the presence of the police
prevented any further hostile demonstra
tion.
A CONFERENCE WITH THE MAYOR.
Mayor Schwarz invited the pastor to the
barracks after service for a conference, and
Rev. Eliis was -escorted there by Sergt.
Killourhy, Mounted Officer Morgan and two
patrolmen, the reserve detail under Chief
Green bringing up the rear, followed by a
howling mob of negroes, who, from their
remarks, would have liked nothing better
than to assault the minister. After the
pastor and his party had eutered the bar
racks the police were again compelled to
charge the crowd that gathered around and
blockaded the street*. Many sore heads
this morning will bear evidence to the suc
cess of that charge.
The mayor stated to Rev. Ellis that he
felt it his duty, as the mavor of the city, to
try and prevent a repetition of such an
affair as had just taken place. Matters had
come to that point where the public peace
had been violated and lives had been nut in
jeopardy, and ha requested the pastor to
close the church doors and dispense with
further service until the courts could decide
who is in the right in the matter. He was
afraid, if services were carried on, more
serious trouble might result.
NO SERVICES THIS WEEK.
In deference to the mayor’s request Rev.
Ellis promised to dispense with the usual
Sunday night services, and also with the
devotion during the week, but before he
would make any promises iu regard to next
Sunday the pastor said he must consult his
attorney.
Rev. Ell is was seen at his home by a
News reporter. The pastor said he thought
matters had about reached the turning
point, and that hereafter there will be no
interference in the bolding of servioes.
Yesterday was to have been
the final test as to whether he
would be allowed to preach. Threats were
made that he would i e prevented from
entering the church or carrying on the de
votions, no matter wbat means had to be
resorted to. The pa tor understoed that one
of the leading members of the opposition
had gone so far as to make a bet of a #25
suit of clothes that the pastor would not he
allowed to enter the church. HU course,
however, he said, in regard to the continua
tion of services will depend altogether on
the advioe of his counsel.
The two participants In the trouble, who
were arreated, were charged with disturb
ing public worship, and after being in the
barracks a little white were released on
bond. Several other members of the antis,
who were rec gutted in the attack on the
pastor, prominent among whom is Ho-ea
Maxwell, it is expected, will be arrested
to-day under the same charges. Dis urbing
public worship is a misdemean r under the
laws of Georgia, and is puntsbab.e by a
heavy fine or imprisonment, or botu iu the
discretion of the c urL
AN INJUNCTION THREATENED.
The antis threaten to go to Brunswick to
day—both of Savannah's judges being out
of the <nty—and sue out an injuncti n
against the pastor to prevent any further
eerviee until the courts deoide the matter.
One woman was 9een at the church with
two clubs, oue in each band, oovered witb
ribbon, waiting for the pator, but when
he arrived the woman and
her dubs had disappeared.
Another woman was arrested by the police
for creating a disturbance on the street
outside of the church. It took two officers
to carry her in, and she fought like a
tigress the whole way to the barracks.
George Davidson, tie colored msgistrate,
was conspicuous around the churoh, aud
was oue of tboee inside when the row oc
curred. He claimed that he arose and
counselled peace, but some of the Ellis party
said that the oniy thing he did was to ad
vise all those who were not in accord with
the pastor and the services to leave the
building.
THS TARIFF CAUGHT THEM.
Gilbert <Ss Cos. Loae Heavily by the Late
Arrival of a Cargo of Cotton Ties.
The effect of the McKinley tariff bill has
been felt in a very emphatio manner by one
of Savannah’s business houses. C. M. Gil
bert & Cos. have been recognized as one of
the leading importing Anns of the south,
their business extending to other ports than
Savannah. The principal importations of
the Arm have been cotton tieq salt and
coffee. The duties on ootton ties have been
increased from 35 cents per bundle to 60
cets.
Gilbert & Cos. determined to bring out a
large cargo of thsm before the bill went
into effect. They chartered the steamship
Counselor at Liverpool and bad her loaded
with 20,000 bundles of ties and headed for
New Orleans, where she was expected to
arrive Friday, Oct. 8. Thr ugh some
cause not known the vessel failed to reach
port until the new tariff schedule went into
effect. By this delay tho house loses In the
neighborhood of $5,009 in duties, and it will
probably put au end to their importing
business ai far as ootton ties are concerned.
One of the Arm was seen by a Morning
News reporter and was asked what effeot
the tariff bill will have on future importa
tions of this article. He said that it would
probably put a stop to them, aud while it is
true the Arm has lost considerable by hav
ing to pay the increased duties on this cargo
of ties, yet the prices they will realize from
the cargo of 9tio tons brought in by the
British steamship Starlight to this city
before the McKinley bill went into effect
will come very near balancing matters.
In reply to a question as to what he
thought of the general effect of the bill on
importations to tnis section, be replied: "It
will undoubtedly put au end to importa
tions, as the increased duties are too bur
densome.” He stated, however, that the
bill did not very materially effect salt or
coffee, of whloh articles the Arm have been
heavy importers.
WILLIAM D. JOHNSTON DEAD.
He Died Yesterday After Eight
Months of Illness.
William Dunoan Johnston, the eldest son
of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Johnston, died
yesterday at 1:50 o’clock. Only eight mouth*
ago be was apparently in good health, and
was engaged in tho discharge of life’s
duties, willingly and proudly bearing life’s
burdens. He was the victim of consump
tion.
He was a dutiful son and an affectionate
brother. Having a kindly disposition, and
ever anxious to e litrihute to the happiness
of those with whom he came in contact,
he was tho light and Joy of bis home. In
dustrious a: and devoted to duty he enjoyed a
reputati >n for strict probity and upright
ness.
He was born March 9,1858, and was there
fore a little more than 32 yeurs of age.
Though only in his young manh od he had
been called to positions of and
responsibility rarely filled by one so young.
He was treasurer of the Georgia Hussars
for eight years, and was for several years a
member of the vestry of Christ church and
for a time its treasurer. At the beginning
of his illness be was cashier of the Dime
Savings Bank, to tho interest of which in
stitution he devoted himself with conspicu
ous fidelity and success.
Anxious inquiries and kindly attentions
from friends tnmughout the days of his ill
ness attest the osteeui in which he was held.
FINE WEATHER FOR CROPS.
The Temperature High and Little Rain
Anywhere in the South.
Yestirdav was fair and warm through
out the south. Little raiu was reported, a
few very light showers comprising the sum
total. The day was unusually warm for
the season, the maximum tomperatuie in
Savannah being 85° and the mean 74°, which
was 5° above the normal.
The temperature was generally high
throughout the south, the Mobile and Gal
veston districts reporting an average of 86”,
aud the New Orleans district an average of
88 c . The departure of temperature for the
year has increased rapidly, and at present
there is an excess of 221° for the year. The
fair, warm weather of the last few days is
all that could lie desired for cotton and rice.
Fair weather is predicted for Savannah
and vioinity to-day.
Feeling the Political Pulse.
Hon. Rufus E. Lester, Maj. G. M. Ryals
and William Clifton of Savannah, and
Judge J. K. Hines, O. H. Rogers, S. W.
Sturgis and Thomas H. Potter of Samiers
ville, left Savannah by the Americus train
yesterday morning for Reidsville, Tatt all
county, where there is a big political gather
ing to-day.
Judge Hines is now fully embarked iu
the rape for United States senator against
Gov. Gordon, aud, with his friends from
Sandersville, is engaged in feeliug the
political pulse.
The Bolt Lino’s Wires.
The work of stringing the suspension
wires across the streets from the poles along
the Belt Line’s route is well under way.
After this work has been completed it will
not take a great length of time to stretch
the overhead electric wire. Laying the
ground wire is the worst job of all, as it
will be necessary to tear up the track from
ond to and. This work will be left to tho
last and will than be pushed through very
rapidly.
The De Boto’s Opening
A large number of invitations have been
issued to the opeuing of the De Soto to
night. The hotel will be thrown open to
the inspection of the public, and everybody
will be at liberty to view its arrangement
and furnishings. There are many citizeus
of Savannah who have never hnd the op
portunity of an inspection of the iuterior of
the De Soto, who will visit it tonight. The
halls and parlors of the hotel will be open
from 8 until 12 o'clock.
Salvation Oil, the irrent liniment, should be
a part of every traveling mans equipment.

THB WKEK’S SHOWS.
Minstrelsy and Military Drama the
Two Leading Attractions.
Tbs theater will be open two nights this
week, Wedneeday and Thursday.
Wednasday night George Wllson's min
strels will have the boards. "Wilson’s was
always the funniest of minstrels,” says the
New York Mirror, but since organizing
his own compa y be has become, if possible,
more funuv. There s a certain ma* cum
about W ilson which at once creates a bond
of sympathy between the minstrel and his
audience. His wit never descend* to gr *•-
ue-s, nor does he appeal to a vicious or
supe. ficial taste, but be is the impersona
tion of genteel humor, and clothes the
minstrels with an air of refinement and
good taste, which cannot but be appre
ciated.
“Hermlnle.”
Thursday night William Redmund, sup
ported try Miss Beatrice Lieb, will appear
in the military drama, "Herminie.” The
play is a New York success. The New
York Sun. hi h is an authority, says of it:
"It is of the melodramatic and emotional
order, and is announced as adapted from
the Frenoh by Mr. Redmund. The scenee
reveal supposed incidents during the Franco-
Fruasian war and the years following up to
1885. Consequently the portraiture of the
military hero forms the central scheme of
the play. 8o thorough and experienced an
artist as Mr. Redmund could scarcely
make any serious errors in the adaptation
of a play which he had determined to be
worthy of his talents. Many years of
faithful and meritorious work have natur
ally given him almost Instinctive knowledge
of proper dramatic action and dialogue.
For this reason very little fault cau be
found with “ ‘Herminie.’ ”
Verona Jar beau.
Tho attraction following “Herminie” will
be Verona Jarboau in •’Starlight." A play
goer, wbo saw her in New York, says:
"Jarbeou, iu ‘Starlight,’ is an actress of
note. She is tho personification of motion,
ever eba iging, surprising, alluring. The
grnoo of niton is in her modulating voice,
in the tossing of her head, in the arching of
her neck, in the movement of her limbs, in
the pose of ber body, in the
pucker of her lips, tho glanoe of her eyes,
the witchery of hur tones, in the arohuess,
friskiness, pertness, the inimitable
style of ber being. With vocal attainments
of high order, with facial beauty, a hand
some woman, she possesses the chic that
would set all Farts wild with delight and
that popularized her in every city in which
■he has appeared. She has equally the
insouciance and bewitching nrtlessness of

TIRED OF A LOSING GAME.
The “Penalty” Company to Seek New
Fields to Play In.
The members of the "Penalty” Company
troupe leave for New York to-day by the
Kansas City. Oue of the troupe said yes
terday that lie is glad the oompuuy has
given up its route.
"The idea of the play is a good one," he
said, "and with a few necessary changes
and improvements the piece would be first
class. The trouble is just as the newspapers
have stated, the leading lady is not a star,
and is by no means fitted for the part she
undertakes to perform, though she is made
of the right stuff and will make an actress
with the proper training. Most of the
people in tho company are fairly good and
would do good work were they not handi
capped by the few bad ones.”
The company was paid off yesterday.
From the amount of cold water thrown
upon the company and the play by the
press latelv the management concluded it
would be impossible to finish the season
successfully. Upon her return to New York
Miss Wilson may possibly put in the
play in New York and Boston
and some of the other large
cities. The company began the season
finely aud was well received in a number of
places, Chattanooga and Athens being en
thusiastic over the play.
One of tne company remarked that it
will be a cold day when he is seen in "Pen
alty” again.

The Railroads Looking for a Rush of

A Savannabian prominently connected

"Savannah has nothing to fear
from her two great railroad sys

Savannah are greater than anywhere
else and they will do anyrihing in their
power that will advanoe her prosperity.
What aids Savannah’s growth helps the
railroads here. Savannah, he claimed, has
every advantage now given to any other
southern city, and much more than some
have. If it nppoars in anything that the
railroads are uot acting in Savaunah’s in
terests it is in appearance only, for they
have her interests ut heart."
“I will guarantee," he added, "that the
railroads will bring enough tourista to Sa
vannah this fall to fill the Do Soto and all
the other hotels, ami if there was another
big hotel here we would fill that too.”

Col. E. C. Machen has written a letter to

draw a line from Madison to Johnson on
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta rail
road in South Carolina. Suppose the Mid
dle Georgia and Atlantic should build into
Madison from Newborn, in Newton county,
and there bead for Washington directly,
don’t you think the Augusta aud
Chattanooga could be induced to
build into Washington to meet it; and
don’t you think the Coast Line (Plant’s
roads) would feel it was their best way into
Atlanta to come to Washington, too? A
Washington citizen told me your county
would give me $50,000 to bring this about.
If be is able to ‘deliver the goods,’ I think I
am in position to do the rest. This would
make a lino from Atlanta to Augusta fifteen
miles shorter than the Georgia roal, and
through Washington at that.” Mr. Smith
replied that a meeting of business men will

the matter.

Positively refusing to engage in a strike or
giving it aid or sympathy. 3. Contributing
to the relief of worthy conductors, their
widows and orphans. 4. Defense of brother
conductors, their wives and children. 5.
Abstinence from the sale or traffic of intoxi
cating liquors. We believe conductors can
have no sympathy with the disorder and
lawlessness attending the methods of striking
organizations. We hold it incumbent upon
ourselves to perform all duties to our em
ployers honestly, loyally and faithfully,
giving tho best possible services as the true
basis for increased remuneration aud ad
vancement. We also owe a duty to the
public which demands sacrifice of personal
considerations, and under no possible cir
cumstances can we assume the rignt to ob
struct the business of the country or delay
innocent travelers in order to right a per
sonal grievance. We believe all violent at
tempts to Becure favor or employment are
unnecessary; the intelligence aud wisdom
of the conductor and official of this age are
soffleient to amicably and honorably adjust
ail differences of whatever character or
nature, in a just and reasonable manner.

According to the latest report of the in
ternational bureau of telegraph administra
tions, writes Herbert Laws Webb, in Oc
tober Scribner’s, the submarine telegraph
system of the world consists of 120,070 nau
tical miles of csble. Government admin
istrations own 12,524 miles, while 107,546
are the property of private companies.
The total cost of these cables is in the
neighborhood of $200,u00,000. The largest
owner of submarine cables is the Eastern
Telegruph Company, whose system covers
the ground from England to India, and
comprises 21,860 miles of cable. The East
ern Extension, which exploits the far oast,
has 12,958 miles more. Early in last
year the system of West African
cables, which started from Cadiz
only six year” ago, uas completed to Cape
Town, so that the dark continent is now
completely encircled by submarine tele
graph, touching at numerous points along
the ooast. More than 17,000 miles of cable
have been required to do this, and several
companies, with more or less aid from the
British, French, Spanish and Portuguese
governments, have participated in carrying
out the work. The North Atlantic is
spanned by no less than eleven cables, all
laid since 1870, though I think not all are
working at the present time. Five com
panies are engaged in forwarding telegrams
between North America and Europe, and
the total length of cables owned bv them,
including coast connections, is over 30,000
nautical miles.

The Hope of the Hebrews.
From the New York Press.
"There is hope.” said an aged Hebrew at
the Palestine conference held in the Chrystie
street synagogue recently, “There is hope
that Palestine will yet regain her ancient
independence and enjoy even more glorious
times than those of Solomon." The speak
er’s face gleamed as he s ioke. “There is
is hope,” he added, “that Jerusalem will be
redeemed before the close of the nineteenth
century, and that tho scattered tribes now
in exile all over the world will return to the
land that was pr mised unto Abraham. The
Turkish government which has wrought
ruin in Palestine, is tottering from Armenia
to Constantinople. It co tinues to exist
only by the sufferance of the great powers
under the protection of England, but there
are signs that it cannot be held
up much longer. When it fal s,
then will come the opportunity
of the Holy Laud. Tho movement
that has been begun in New York for send
ing tho persecuted Jews of Russia back to
Palestine is full of significance. It is a
stro :g movement, aDd has the support of
wealthy members of the Jewish race, lot
only here, but also in England, France,
Germany and other countries of Europe.
Thousands of Jews of the Genile lands have
within the past few years gone to Palestine
to abide there, and tens of thousands are
anxious t j fellow in their footsteps. We
would have millions ot them there within a
generation, it the country were freed from
the Turkish yoke, as it will yet be?” The
aged Hebrew who spoke thus hoped he
would live to see the fulfillment of his
prophecy, and said he merely expreised a
sentiment that is deep in the heart of the
Jewish race all over the world.
