TO START A NEW CHURCH.
REV. ALEXANDER ELLIS NOT
DOWNED BY HIS DEFEAT.
He Looks Upon His Deposition from
the Greene Square Pastorate as an
Interposition of Providence -The Mi
norit,- to Establish a New Churc 1 of
Which He Will be Pastor-He will
Hold to the Keys of the Greene Square
Church Until He Gets his Back Salary.
Rev. Alex Ellis accepts his deposition
from the pastorate of the Gree.ie Square
church good-humoredly. He said iast night
that he regards his defeat as an interposi
tion of divine providence. Threats, ho said,
had been made against his life, in the event
of his being successful ia the e.ecaon. and,
had he won the day, he would have felt in
constant dread of being disposed of in a
summary manner.
“While X recognise the fact,” said Rov.
EUis, “that the opposing faction had a ma
jority in the e’ecti n, yet that majority was
obtained in an unchristian-like manner. As
far as the depositing of the ballots is con
cerned, things were ail right, but it is to the
outside methods that I refer. The opposi
tion wont into the country and told the
members there ail sorts of yarns about how
1 looked down upon them aud criticised
their personal appearance, aud, as a matter
of course, arrayed them against me, and
caused the couurty people to vote against
me.”
THE EX-PASTOR’S PLANS.
In regard to his future plans. Rev. Ellis
says be has come to Savannah to stay, and
he does not know any bet er place to die in.
He had no idea how many wnite friends he
had in the community, he said, until the
trouble aro-e, and the enc uragement they
gave him, he suid, has caused hmi to be
come more attached to the city.
The ex-pastor said that the probability is
that the minority will not be reconciled to
the present arrangement, and will likely
avail itself of the constitutional right to es
tablish** new church. The defeated party
will ask for letters of dismissal and will
form the new church at an early day,
hoping in a short time to be able to erect
a church edifice aud it stall him as pastor.
Rev. Ellis does not think there will be any
trouble in raising funds tor this purpose.
WHAT HE DID FOR THE CHURCH.
When he arrived from Boston in 1882 and
took charire of the SecoDd church, he said,
he found it at a very low stand
ard, both spiritually and tempora.lv.
The treasury was empty, and
the congregation, which had dwindled
down to a small number, was groan
ing under a debt of about SSOO, while the
building itself was in a dilapidated condi
tion, and much in n-ed of repairs. In less
than six months after taking hold, Rev.
Eliis said that the congregation largely
increased aud continued to increase until
the recent trouble aro-e The debt, which
had been standing for a number of years,
was lifted in twelve in nths and all current
expenses were paid, and a 6maU surplus
was carrieu over each yoar.
In 188 ti, Rev. Ellis said, be inaugurated a
movement to raise a fund to ram del the
chbrcb, and in about two years succeeded
in getting together about sll,-
000, every cent of which was
subscribed m Savannah. In 1880 the re
pairs were comp eted, and in August of
that year the church was rodedicated, and,
the preacher said, it is to-day as well ap
pointed a place of worship as any in Savan
nah.
TO BOLD TO THE KEYS.
The church, Rev. Ellis said, is indebted to
him in the sum of S6BB 25 for salary, and ho
is not disposed to surrender the keys
or bocks until the return of his leading
coun-el, Hon. F. G. du Bignon, unless the
deacons come forward with the money in
the meantime.
Uutil the row church is built Rev. Ellis
will hold service in the colored Odd Fellow s’
hall, on Liutfy street, where he had relig
ious exercises last Sunday, which were at
tended by nearly all of his supporters.
TO NOMINATE ALDERMEN.
A McGuire and Parish Meeting to be
Held To-night.
The first gun in the municipal campaign
will be fired to-night, when the First and
Second District Political Club will put in
nomination candidates for aldermen. A
notice appoa-s in the Mornino News to
day iuviting the voters of both districts to
meet at Hendy’s hall, coiner West Broad
and Bryan streets.
The candidates stated for nomination are
Jarnee McGuire and George W. Parish. Mr.
McGuire said last night that he was satis
fied he would get the nomination, and he
had great hopes of being elected.
It was positively announced yesterday
that Ciipt. Thomas F. Screven would not
allow the use of his name as a candidate
from the Third district.
she Fourth district is quietly awaiting
the action of the First and Second districts
before beginning operations, but it is safe to
say that it will be heard from before the
end of the week.
A Small Fire.
A slight fire in the tin shop of G. W. K.
Saunders, at Jefferson street and York
lane, brought out the department at 6:30
last night, m response to an alarm from
box 19, at Montgomery and South Broad
streets.
The fire started in a pile of charcoal under
the stairway, and was making rapid head
way whm the department arrived. One
stream from the chemical extinguished the
blaze in a tew minutes. The damage to the
building is not worth mentioning, and
Saunders’ loss was principally from the
breaking of a few articles which can be re
placed at small cost.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
Tailor Gassman and an Employe Hava
a Lively Tustle With Two Negroes.
A daring attempt at robbery occurred
! yesterday about 1 o'clock on one of the
principal streets of the city.
Two negroes entered the tailoring estob
i lisbment of Charles Gassman on congress
I street, opposite Christ church, oa the plea
of purchasing a c .at and vest. Mr. Gass
man liecamc suspicious and told them that
they had better go to a cl thing house, as
he did not keep any ready-made stock.
The negroes, after lo -King over several
pieces of goods, started for the door. Mr.
Gussman thought he saw one of them take
up a piece of good', and, walking up to
the n, seized him by the collar and de
manded what ho had conceale 1 under his
coat Tne uegro dropped a pautaloon- pat
tern on the floor, and, breaking the hold of
bis captor, ran into the street.
Mr. Gasman grabbed the other negro,
and called to his tailor, Lynch, to come to
his assistance. Lynch rau out of the back
room aud seized the iu;m, and Mr. Oassumu
went out on the street to try and get an
officer. Not being able to find one he hur
ried back to the store, and found the negro
getting the be'ter of Lynch, aud had suc
ceeded in dragging hi xseif aud his captor
to the l ack door.
Mr. Gassman ran behind the counter to
get a rifle to shoot the would-be thief, and
an the negro saw the movement he
stooped and caught Lynch's hand in his
mouth and sunk his teeth into tne flesh.
Mr. Lynch loosened his hold and the negro
jumped the fence and made bis escape just
as Mr. Gasiinan appeared with his rifle
ready to fire.
When Mr. Gassman first grabbed the
negro, he noticed him puli something from
his pocket uod above it under a holt of suit
ing. On investigating after the negro
escaped, a fine Smith <& Wesson double
action revolver was found. During the
struggle with Mr. Lynch the man dropped
his darby hat and a silk handkerchief,
which, with the pistol, Mr. Gassman Las in
his possession.
A description of the two negroes was fur
nished Detective Busch, aud he hopes to
run the negroes to cover. What could
have prompted the thief to leave his pistol
behind is a mystery, except that he drew it
with the intention of shooting Mr. Gass
man, but changed his mind oa the appear
ance of Mr. Lynch.
THE FIRST OF THE SEASON.
Four Tramps Sent to the Chain-Gang
for Thirty Days.
Trainpß are flocking into the city from the
north, and considerable annoyance is oc
casioned to pedestrians in consequence.
They stand around in dark places out
of the way of the police and solicit
money from passers-by. Four of them
came to grief, however, a few days ago, aud
were gathered in by the police. Two of
them are boys, not over 18 years of age, and
the otbors are men about 30. The quartette
are all a healthy, robust set, who appear to
have thrived by their excursions around
the country on foot.
They were before Judge Harden in the
city court yesterday morning, and gave
their names ns James Mullin. John Mans
field, Charles Green and Daniel Hogan.
Not being able to show any visible meaus
of support Judge Hardon soutenced them to
one month each on the chain-gang.
They did not seem to inind the sentence,
and appeared perfectly satisfied with the
arrangements made for their board and
lodging for the next thirty days.
TO BE TRIED FOR HI3 LIFE.
Richard Davis to Face a Jury To-day
on Two Capital Charges.
Richard Davis (colored) will be put on
trial for his life to-day m the superior court
on two charges—murder and rape. Davis
is tho negro who, several months ago, out
raged his little niece, and a few days after
ward murdered a colored woman named
Sallie Smith, who had been expressing her
opinion in an open manner about the
former crime.
The Smith woman was sitting in the hall
of her house on Springfield plantation,
talking with another woman, when Davis
crept up and shot her through the open
door with a gun. Davis was recognized as
he ran away from the scene of his crime by
a man living in the house.
The murderer came into the city aud
went to the residence of his brother, who
gave inf ormation to the authorities aud bad
him arrested. William Pease, Esq., will
defend Davis, but Solicitor General Fraser
thinks that the state will be able to make
out a clear case and send Davis to the gal

WANTS BASE BALL AGAIN.
Charleston in for Reorganizing the
Southern Leagus.
Charleston has got it again, and wants to
reorganize the Southern Base Ball League.
Charleston bas > ball enthusiasts, the News
and Courier says, think that a well ar
ranged league could not only be made to
pay expenses, but return a dividend to the
stockholders. If the promoters of the
scheme are successful, they expect Charles
ton will be represented by a strong pro
fessional team. There will be no trouble to
get up sufficient money to place a club in
tho field from Charleston, it adds. Charles
t< n has always been regarded as one of the
best base bail eenteis in the south.
Those who are into res ting themselves in
the organization of ths league anticipate as
their greatest trouble the difficulty of get
ting six or eight. neighbiriug cities inter
ested in the league. Tho base ball men
think that with three or four cities in the

ALEXANDER MAY GO OUT.
A RUMOR THAT HE WILL RESIGN
THE CENTRAL’S PRESIDENCY.
Jay Gould Likely to Bea Member of
the Next Directory-Gould’s Connec
tion With the Richmond Terminal
and What It Means for Savannah—
The Central to Bring to the Coast the
Traffic of the Gould Western Lines.
The rumor is out that Gen. E. P. Aiexan-
der will retire from the presidency of the
Central Railroad after tbs next election for
directors, which takes place Jan. 5. What
truth there is in this rumor it
is impossible to say. Gen. Alexander
is in New York, where he has been for the
last ten days with T. M. Cunningham,
cashier of the Central railroad bank. Their
business in New York is understood to be |
the securing of funds for the pay- j
ment of the Central’s semi-anaal dividend, i
which the present financial stringency !
makes more difficult than usual.
GOULD LIKELY TO GO IN.
Gea. Alexander w as in New York during
the recent election of the Richmond
Terminal direct .s. at which Jay Gould.
George Gould and Russell Sage were elected
members of the board. The belief is gain
ing ground that Gould and his friends
have secured a large interest in
Central railroad stock, so much so as to give
them a voice tu the control of the road
The probability is that Gould, or some of
his associates, will be elected to the Central
directory at the January meeting.
The belief was general among those
posted in railroad matters as soon as Gould
secured an interest in the Richmond Termi
nal that it was his intention to use the lines
of the Terminal system for transportation
of the immense traffic of the Missouri Pa
cific and other western lines owned or con
trolled by him to tho markets via the south
ern ports.
AN OUTLET FOR WESTERN LINES.
Not being able to secure an outlet to New
York and the eastern markets by the
northern lines for bis western traffic he
turned his attention south, and will use the
Richmond Terminal lines and the
South Atlantic steamship Hues
as the most convenient outlet.
When*it was first reported that Gould had
bought heavily in Richmond Terminal
stock Gen. Alexander said that if true it
me mt the turning over of the traffic of
Gould’s wostern lines to the Central and
other lines of the Terminal system, and that
Savannah would be made au outlet for the
western traffic,
It Is not .Mr, Gould’s way to do things by
halves, and he has, so it would appear,
made his plans more perfect by securing a
voice in the control of the Central, which,
with other lines in the Terminal system,
will give him a direct route to the
seacoast. This means a great deal
for Savannah. Tho Ocean Steamship Com
pany will be forced to add more ships to its
fleet, the number of employes in Savannah
will be increased, and the business of the
port will be augmented.

played before a crowded house last night
and was enthusiastically received. The
wonderful success of t-e play wherever it
has been given aroused the interest of
theater-goers, and the audience was oae of
the largest, as it was one of the most en
thusiastic of the season.
The play is full of action, is interesting
throughout and is faithful to life and detail.
There is a dash of romance running through
it, which adJs immensely to ite interest. Xt
opens with the first guns of Fort Sumter,
breaking up temporarily several very pretty
love stories. The scenery is realistic.' The
view of the Shenandoah valley, the signal
ing from the Three-Top mountain,the retreat
of the union army from Wmchester, and
the dash across the stage of Geu. Phil Sheri
dan on his way to stop the retreat and win
a victory, aroused the applause and enthu
siasm of the audience. Tnere are no special
or star rote, or, at least, there ore several
of the same importance that require more
than average histrionic acquiromonts to fill
them properly.
A feature of the jmrformanca was the
participation of a squad of Savannah Cadets.
The military spirit of the piece
aroused the interest aad enthusi
asm of many soldiers who
saw it, and old war veterans, many of whom
were in the theater, applauded it to the
echo. The play will be repeated to-night,
and a detachment from several companies
of the First regiment will take part.
The Orphans’ Home Concert.
Tha concert to be given for the benefit of
the Episcopal Orphans’ Home, at the thea
ter Thursday night, promises to be a musi
cal treat. Mr. M. Steward, organist of
Christ church, will have charge of the eh j
ruses and accompaniments, and some of the
brist volunteer talent in the city has been
enlisted. The prominent feature of the
evening will be the appearance of the ac
complished artiste, Mine. j£. von der Hoya,
who has kindly consented to help the cause
for which the concert is given. Mine, von
der Hoya’s reputation as a pianist is world
wide, and concert-goers and music-loving
people will doubtless avail themselves of
the opportunity to hear her. The fluale of
the evening will be a cantata entitled, “The
Garden of Singing Flowers,” the scenery
for which has been brought expressly from
the north, and is quite a novel affair.
Tickets are on sale at Butler’s drug store.

Washington’s Hatchet Not Lost.
Editor Morning Xews: I notice in your
“Current Comment” of Sunday that the
Philadelphia Inquirer fears the loss of
George Washington’s famous hatchet.
Kindly reassure the Inquirer the historic
implement can be found in the possession of
a firm in Savannah, who are using it with
incisive effect.
In this connection permit me to say to
picture buyers that wmle I cannot offer
then the satisfaction of feeling that mv
pictures have been snatched from the rapa'-
Clous grasp of a Gould or hare been bought
after an Astor or a Vanderbuilt has run
them up as high as they could afford, still X
oan give them the certainty that they will
get tneir money’s worth.
