The cold wave forecasted by the weather
bureau in yesterday’s Morning News ar
rived on schedule time. The temperature
at 9 o’clock last night was 38°, and falling.
The cold, damp air was very penetrating,
end people mostly preferred to remain ut
home by their firesides yesterday. The
streets were almost deserted during the day,
and the attendance at the churches, both
morning and night, wb small.
The cold wave last ntght centered over
lowa, extending southward to Western
Tennessee. The temperature over the upper

from the lower lakes southward to Northern
Georgia, and eastward to the Atlamio
coast, 16° to 4° below freezing. Generally
fair weather prevailed in the Eastern and
Western Gulf states, throughout the Missis

A LONG TIMS IN SERVICE.
Assistant Cbler Mcuro Celebrates Hia
Quarter century aa a Fireman.
Assistant Chief Fireman George Monro
Celebrated on Thanksgiving day his quadro.
centennial anniversary in the active are
Berviee of Savannah. He has served
through all the grades to that of assistant
chief, which position he has held for the
last ten years.
Mr. Monro began his career as a fireman
in 1859 as torch boy for the Wash*
ington Fire Company, of which
his father was a member.
He ran with the reel and carried the torch
for seven years. In 1866 he was admitted
as an activo member of the Washingtons,
and shortly afterward was made secretary,
then assistant foreman, and finally fore’
man, the latter office being filled by him for
seven years.
In 1873 Mr. Mouro was elected secretary
of tho entire volunteer fire department of
the city by the board of officers, and held
the position for eight years. In 1880 by
special appointment he became second
assistant chief, and in 1881 was
elected assistant chief, which position
he now fills with credit to himself and the
department. Mr. Mouro feels proud of the
fact that there hasn’t been a break in his
record as a fireman for the past twenty-five
years. He is a good fireman and hopes to
live to celebrate his golden anniversary iu
the service.
THE SOUTH BOUND MAIL.B.
The Governmant clow In Starting the
New foed's Service.
There i3 a hitch somewhere about inaugu
rating the mail service of the South Bound
railroad, and in coniequeuce the postoffice
department is not giving Savannah the ser
vice to Columbia it should have.
It was understood that the mails over the
Magnolia route would be started Nov. 19,
but for some reason or another nothing has
been done in that direction beyond the in
specting of the route by some of the agente
of the postoffice department.
An instance of the want of a servioe over
the South Bound is shown by the faot that
the mails which should reach Columbia at
2:40 p. m. do not get there until the next
day. The morning train by the Central and
Charleston and Savannah don’t make
connections for Columbia’s mail,
and it has to go all the
way to Florenoe, S. C., and come back to
Columbia in the northern mail.

DOTSCN LEARNS Hl3 DOOM.
The Condemned Man Gives Up the
Last Hope to Which Be KasClung.
Luoiut Dotson, the condemned colored
murderer, learned for the first time yester
day morning that the supreme court had
refuted to grant hit appeal for • new trial,
and was mnch depressed io consequence.
Dotson had entertained 6ver since his
conviction a strong hope that anew trial
would be granted him, and when he finally
realized tbat his doom was seale 1 the mur
derer was cast down.
The condemned man said nothing, but
the look of despair on his countenance
showed plainer than any words which be
could have uttered tbat he dreads to meet
the death the law prescribes for crimes like
his. He gazed out through the window of
his cell for quite a while in deep thought
and then took up his Bible to seek consola
tion from its inspired words.
Later in the day he seemed better satis
fied with his condition and at his meals with
usual relish.
A Morning News reporter called at the
jail in the afternoon to ‘see Dotson, but the
condemned man said he didn’t care to talk.
Ho was depressed aud had other things to
think about.
The murderer has been frequently visited
in the jail by the colored ministers of the
city, but as he bad hoped to get another
ohauce for his life Dotson didn't place him
self under the spiritual guidance of any one
in particular. He reads his Bible more or
less every day and has repeatedly expressed
regret for the killing of Coates. He said
he hadu't any intention of killing the man
when he fired, but did so to protect him
self from what be thought was an attempt
a Coates’ part to cut him.
Dotson is a mulatto aud belonged in
Augusta. It is said he killed a man there
several years ago, but it is not known
whether the story is true.
The floor of the hauging cell will be low
ered about four feet before Dotson’s execu
tion. The fact that Kitchen’s fset almost
touched the floor proved that the drop for
a man over 5 feet 6 inches is not suffi dent.
Had Kitohen been two inchei taller a
bungling job would have been the result.
Do.non occupies the third cell from the
entrance on the east side of tho main cor
ridor. Only one cell separates him from the
banging room where he is to meet his fate,
and that is occupied by John Webb, the
oondemued murderer of Ananias Hill,
whose case is still pending in the superior
court on a motion for anew trial.
A JUROR NOT A CITIZEN.
An Effort to Nullify the Collier's Sta-
Robbers’ Trial.
The dlsoovery that one of the grand jury
whioh indicted the Collier's station express
robbers at Forsyth is not a citizen of the
United States has raised the question
whether all of the findings of the jury are
null and void and the express robbers will
have to be tried over again.
Tho questiou was raised Frid ly by an at
torney who asked that a bill of indictment
against a negro charged with inisdeme inor
be dismissed on account of its illegality.
His grounds for the point of illegality were,
as stated, that a member of the grand jury
was not a citizen of the United States, and
that all business done by the jury was null
aud void.
Judge Boynton sustained the attorney,
and ordered the jnry to their room to do
over tho work that they have labored on for
the last two weeks. A Forsyth special says
the town is wrought up over the affair, as
the juror is a respected citizen, and, in ad
dition to that, the train robbers will have
to tie tried again if they make a fight on
the illegality of the iudiotmont.
The grand jury was reidy for adjourn
meut, and was in the court room to read its
general presentment when the point was
made.
Hon. F. G. dußignon, who was one of the
prosecuting attorneys in the case against the
express robbers, says tho question of ille
gality will not affect that case, which has
been tried, and the defendants were con
victed aud sentenced, as the point was not
raised at the trial. Other cases which had
not been tried when the discovery that one
of tho grand jury was not a citizen was
made, and in which the question is raised,
will, lie understands, have to be acted upon
by another grand jury before they are
brought to trial.

Company Gossip Picked Up at the
Armories.
The splendid skirmish firing and skirmish
drill of the Savannah Cadets at Tybee
Thanksgiving day, together with the oom
plimeuts of Lieut. Satterlee and Gen.
Burns on the practicability of the work
has been the talk of military circles for the
last few days. “The Cadets"’ said one
officer, “have set an example
in practical work whioh should
be emulated by the other
e mpamos of the regiment and the Guards.
They are no longer simple dress parade
troops, but are up in all the necessary dis
cipline of the soldier, and would, in case of
a need for their servioes, be in condition to
go into active service at once without any
brushing up. Another thing about tho
Cadets’ drills is that the practioal part
in the way of skirmish drills, etc.,
is an attraction for the members out of the
usual humdrum regulation manual and
marohlng drills. It wouldn’t take rnuob of
an effort to get the regiment Into practical
work, and if it was once inaugurated the
members would take to the new order of
things with alacrity.”
The Regimental armory is getting to be
a popular resort with the members every
night and Sunday as well. Nearly all the
armories have some sort of amusement, and
the boys gather there to enjoy ihemsolves
and talk over military events. The Cadets’
and Blues’armories are fitted up with bil
liard and pool tables, which are well patro
nized.
An order has bean posted on the bulletin
board of the Regimental armory announc
ing the appointment of Private G. Reuben
Butler of the Cadets as hospital steward of
the regiment, with the title of sergeant.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD.
Trinity Sunday School Missionary So
ciety Oelebrates Its Silver Birthday.
The 25th anniversary of Trinity Sunday
School Missionary Society was celebrated
in a beooming manner at Trinity ohuroh
last night. The churoh was thronged, and
the pregramme, whioh wai a varied one.
was highly enjoyable.
The exorcises opened with the singing of
the hymn, “Ring the Glad Tidings.” A
scripture lesson was then read, followed by
the hymn, “The Kingdom Coming,” and
the creed and prayer. Minnie Griner
recited “Your Mission” in capital style.
The exercise of tho infant class was a inter
esting feature. Little Pauline Fuiford re
cited “Only a Penny,” after which the con
gregation sang “Ship of Zion." Robbie
Thompson’s recitation, “Amen and Ahem,"
was quite r.musing. Clara Dixon’s
recitation, “Inasmuch,” was rendered
in splendid style. The songs
"Let U Ever Praise Him,” "At the Beau
tiful Gate,” “The Wheat and the Tares,”
and "Will You Meet Me Over There” dosed
the musical part of the programme.
Treasurer E. L. Neidlinger made a report
showing the society to he in excellent finan
cial condition aud doing good work. The
collection of the anniversary cslebration
was liberally contributed to anu a neat sum
was realized.
Rev. A. J. Jarrell, pastor of Trinity, de
livered a short address to the Sunday School
Missionary Society, reviewing the good
work done by the organization and compli
menting the members on the zeal they Liavo
displayed in the service of the Lord. Mr.
Jarrell urged them to continue in the labors
they have to well conducted in aiding the
church, aud that the Lord would record the
good deeds in tho world to come.
TIIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1891.
THINGS TALKED ABOUT.
"There is a good deal of sense in’Fro Bono
Publioo’a’ communication in to-day’s
Morning News,” said a business man yes
terday. “The people of this city are so
anxious to cover the sandy streets that they
think any kind of pavement is better than
no pavement, and they therefore overlook
defects in such work. The Broughton street
asphalt is in need of repairs iu many places.
It is full of holes and the holes are growing
bigger. Whether it is because of the cut
ting of the pavement for sewers and other
connections,or because of some inherent de
fect in the work or material,l am unable to
say. Whatever may be the cause the fact
is patent tbat the pavement, is in bad
condition. The Liberty street pavement,on
tho other hand, is in splendid order. In the
laying of the Bull street pavement it seems,
by careful construction, that the defects
likely to show up later in the paving might
be avoided.”
Mayor McDonough, if let alone in his at
tempt to enforce the laws, will prove a pow
erful civilixing agent. His effort to stop
reckless driving in ths streets is a
step in the right direction. Negro dray
men, some of them driving trucki
with hind wheels eight or ten feet apart,
dash through the streets with the reckless
ness of Comanches on the warpath. It
only requires people to know that Mayor
McDonough proposes to enforce a law to
have them obey it.
The air line road to Isle of Hope will be
of great advantage to the people living
along the salts from Thunderbolt to Mont
gomery. It will make those places easily
accessible. It will also give the people of
Savannah and visitors to the city a free
roadway to drive on. Of course, the pro
jectors of the new road expect opposition
from parties interested in the toll roads.
The last number of The Churchman con
tains a portrait and sketch of Dr. C. K.
Nelson, bishop-elect of Georgia. The con
sent and approval of the standing commit
tees and bishops of Dr. Nelson’s elevation
to the episcopate is awaited with a good
deal of interest by Episcopalians of
Georgia, not that there is any feeling
of doubt conoerning It, but because of
the long vacancy tbat has existed on the
bishopric, during which time the diocese
has been without a head, except the chair
man of the standing committee, and the
anxiety to have the bishopric filled.
The Thanksgiving story of the last num
ber of Harper's Weekly, “The Cipher
Code,” is from the gifted pen of Mr. Pleas
ant A. Stovall. It is a love story, with the
locale laid in the mountains of Tennessee,
and evidences the highest order of literary
talent.
“Have you ever timed a man eating a
saodwioh iu a railroad restaurant?”
“No? Well, try It sometime. It’s worth
your while. The man who swallows his
lunch at home in the same time he has at
the restaurant without half trying rushes
from the train to the counter and makes a
dive at whatever he sees as
if his life depended upon get
ting it before somebody else does. Some
men take time to share a bottle on their
sandwiches or to swallow a cup of coffee,but
the majority seize whatever is before them
the sandwich in which the bam is trans
parent and the roll is hot, aud perhaps a
fatal piece of pie, close their jaws a few times
and it is gone. It is seldom you see a woman
leave her train for lunch, and when she does
she is like the; majority of the other sex,
devouring her lunch and listening for the
bell to be sure the train does not leave her
behind.”
The prosecution of the British steamship
Northern by the United States government
on a charge of dumping ashes in New York
harbor his attracted considerable attention
from the fact that New York is about the
only state iu the union which has its harbor
protected by act of congress. All the other
harbors of the oountry are looked after by
the local authorities, and cases of anything
like the offense the Northern is charged with
necessitate considerable expense on the part
of the oities in prosecution. Such events
cost New York nothing. By special act
of congress, passed June 29, 1888, the
United States takes upon itself the protec
tion of the harbor of the metropolis. A
gentleman speaking to a Morning News
man about the oase remarked that it would
be a good idea for Georgia's congressmen
after securing the necessary appropriation
for deepening the harbor to endeavor to
have passed a speoial law for its protec
tion similar to that now in force in New
York.
A SUNDAY SCHOOL ENTERPRISE
Which a Number of Ladies Are Suc
cessfully Conducting.
The ladies of the Independent Presbyte
rian church, wishing to contribute toward
the erection of a Sunday school building
for thoir church, have opened an exchange
similar to the women’s exchanges in all the
large oities. They have, iu connection with
this work, a religious book repository, aud
for Christmas, booklets and calendars of a
kind cot usually seen eleewhero iu town.
They have a fancy work department, in
which they sell work done by ladies aud in
whioh they receive orders for such work.
A light, but rery appetizing, lunch is
furnished. An order department is another
feature. Orders are taken for cake,
charlotte russe ana other delicacies. Orders
received for nouiLhment and other delioa
cies for the sick. These orders are filled by
competent persons. Visitors are welcomed
in the bright, sunshiny rooms. They are
not asked to buy. It is gratifying to see
that an interest is being taken in the work
that is being done. Sunday school teachers
are asked to look at the books for presents
or for their own benefit.

PERILS OF YOUNG MEN.
DR. DOWMAti TAKEB UP THE EVILS
THAT BTSiT YOUTH.
The Safety of the Home, the Church
and the 6tate Dependent Upon the
Young Men of This Country—The
Evils to Which They Are Most Sus
ceptible and the Safeguards to be
Provided—The Liquor Question and
the Social Evil.
Rev. Dr. Dowraan concluded his serlee of
sermons to young men at Wesley Monu
mental church last night. His subject was
the “Perils of Young Men.” The text
was, "Is the young man Absalom safe?”
11. Samuel xvliL, 29.
On account of the inclement weather the
congregation was not as large as usual.
Dr. Dowman said the qusstion is one of
the utmost imp rtauce as applied to the
young men of to-day. Upon their safety
depends the safety of the home, the church
and the state. The future of this country,
he said, depends upon her young men, and
if the young men are given up to corrup
tion what shall become of the oountry >
“We do not mean safe from temptation,”
said Dr. Dowman, “but safe in temptation.
If there is no peril there is no trial, and
without trial there is no development of
character. But there is no sense in playing
with fire. Temptation should be reduced
to ths minimum.”
THE GREAT PERILS.
Dr. Dowman then proceeded to dis
cuss the perils which Leset the
young man, among whioh he named
irreverence, skepticism, worldliness, the
demon of drink and evil passions.
Irreverence, he said, is said by foreigners,
to boa great sin of Americans. Under this
heod he named profanity, irreverence for
God’s name, the most common and useless
of vices, and Sabbath desecration, a grow
ing evil.
Dr. Dowman criticised the “higher criti
cism,” so-called, of the scriptures, as lead
ing to a disbelief of their sacred origin and
indifference to their teachings.
Under the head of worldliness he men
tioned the money god, the specu
lative fever and fast living.
He addressed himself at considerable
length to the rumshop. “There are four
teen white evangelical churches in this
city.” said Dr. Dowman. “and there are 260
barrooms and upward of 320 places licensed
to soil liquor.”
THE CHURCHES AND BARROOMS.
The churches, he said, are open for
a few hours on Sunday, but the bar
rooms are open six days cut of the seven
many of them from Monday morning until
Saturday night. At a low calculation, he
said, the actual cost of running the
barrooms m the city of Savannah is
over 8500,000 annually. Add to this the
cost of the whisky they sell and the profits
make upon it, and you have an im
mense sum spent annually in this city for
drink.
Dr. Dowman pr dsod the action of Mayor
McDonough in closing the barrooms on
Sunday. Under the head of lust, the name
loss evil, he included bad books, the ball
room and the theater as all leading that
way. The end, he said, is a dead conscience,
moral death.
Dr. Dowman closed with the injunction,
“You see the evil, turn away.”
AT THE THEATER
“Tho Fast Mail" to Open the Week’s
Programme To-night.
“The Fast Mail” will be the opening at
traction of the week at the theater to-night.
The play is of the melo dramtio order and
has been a success wherever it has been
played. Its scenery is one of its features.
There is a representation of an engine room
on a Mississippi steamboat, with the furnaces
under the boilers in active operation. A
realistic train of cars shoots aoross the
stage, and the Niagara Falls scene is elabo
rate and dariug. It is described as a beauti
ful, vivid aud accurate representation of
that marvel of nature.
The falls are shown by mooDligbt, with
the roaring and plunging waters, and the
mist that rises from the seething current.
One of the most prominent of the play’s
features is the complete freight train of
fourteen cars, with an illuminated caboose,
drawn by a practical locomotive. The play
itself has thrilling situations in abundance,
plenty of humor to lighten its tone aud give
it an agreeable flavor throughout.
Charming Elsie Leslie.
Tho sale of seats for "The Prinoe and
Pauper” will begin this morning. The play
will bo seen this week for the first time in
Savannah. The chief interest of the play
is centered in little Elsie Leslie, whose age
and size exaotly suit her to. the part she has
to assume. She has a greater opportunity
to display her dramatic ability in this play
than she had in her original ebaraotor oi
"Little Lord Fanntloroy.” Both as the
“Prince" and as the, “Pauper” she is
said to be very ‘ effective. “The
Prince and tho Pauper” scored a success in
the principal oities of the country last sea
son, and night and matineo performances
were crowded to witness the acting of little
Elsie. The comedy of the play is delicate
but enjoyable, and in sharp contrast to the
almost melodi amatio scenes at other times.
The play is said to bo one of the best Mr.
Daniel Frohman has out on the road, and
whatever is under bis management is al
ways presented in excellent style.
ATTACKED WITH PARALYSIS.
Sergt. Sievers Struck Down at the
Regimental Armory.
Lewis Sievers, quartermaster sergeant of
the German Volunteers, was stricken with
a stroke of paralysis yesterday afternoon at
the regimental armory. While conversing
with a party of friends he was suddenly
affeoted by the stroke and fell over in his
chair. The paralysis extended the eutire
length of bis right side, and affeoted his
tongue to such an extent as to render him
speechless.
Dr. J. B. Read was called in and attended
Sievers, after which he was removed to his
home at Jefferson and Gaston streets in a
carriage. His condition is serious. Sievers
is a driver for H. Solomon & Son.
OITY BREVITIES.
The literary society of the Young Men’s
Hebrew Association proposes having a de
bate at its meeting Tuesday uight, Deo. 8,

The St. Andrew’s Society will give its
annual dinner at the Screven house to
night. The dinner will be served at 8:39
o’clock, and the speaking will begin at 9:30

Yesterday was an unusually quiet day

There wasn’t a oase of drunkenness regis

This speaks well for the enforcement of the

An Atlanta Journal man hoard the only
Machon remark the other day tbat there
will be another road from Atlanta to Savan
nah within three years, and that when it
comes it will not only be sixty miles shorter
than any other line between the two places,
but would save drummers living iu Atlanta
and Savannah who travel between these
points 812,000 a year. What do the houses
who pay the traveling expenses of the
aforesaid drummers think of this!
They have got railroad traveling down
to a pretty fine point in France, where the
deaths from acoidents from 1875 to 1880
were only one to every 24,000,000 passen
gers, and of wounded only one to every
1,000,000. In other European countries it
is considerably greater, while ia this coun
try where we rush things, take more chances
and value human life less, the proportion
of deaths was between 1881 and 1888, one
killed to every 2,800,000 and one wounded
to every 428,000.

William B. As tor holds no title in the
railroad world, occupying no offi ial posi
tion, Dut, although it is not generally
known, as the owner of the securities of
railroads he ranks but little lower than men
liko the Vanderbilts, Gould, Huntington
and a few others. Inheriting enormous
wealth, Mr. Astor has neither the time nor
the inclination to take any active part in
the mauagoment of the many railway prop
erties in which he is interested. He occa
sionally does act as a director and has formed
the habit of attending nearly all of the
important directors’ meetings of the com
panies ho is most interested in. At these
meetings bo usually says little, but when
bis advice is asked and followed it is in
variably found io be sound. The story is
told that Mr. Astor was onoe asked to take
the presidency of a railway company about
to be reorganized, and was promised that
if be did accept that office it would Involve
no work on his part. He replied: “No,
I’ve got a couple of lots uptown that re
quire all my attention. If I became presi
dent of a railroad and did no work the di
rectors would have too good a time. I think
you had better take Mr. Gould or somebody
who knows more than I do.” 8o he has no
railroad title except that of director.

DWINDLING FOR SAUSAGES.
How a Farmer’s Dog Forged Orders
lor His Favorite Feed.
A true story is told in Marshall, Tex., of
a farmer’s dog who had been found guilty
of obtaining goods under false pretenses.
He is extremely fond of saiisages, and has
been taught by his owner to go after them
for him, carrying a written order in his
mouth. Day after day he appeared at the
butcher shop, bringing his master’s order,
and by and by the butcher became careless
about reading the document. Finally, when
settlement day came, the farmor complained
that he was charged with more sausage
than he had ordered. The butcher was
surprised, and the next time Lion came in
witn a slip of paper between his teeth he
took the trouble to look at it. The paper
was blank, and further investigations
showed that whenever the dog felt a craving
for sausage he looked around for a piece cn
paper ana trotted off to the butcher’s. The
farm-r is something out of pocket, but
squares the account by boasting of his dog's
intelligence.
