Travis' Address—A Salute by the
Srtillery in Uosor of the Day.
l'ivo thousand colored people were pres
ent ai the celebratio* of emancipation
day at the Park extension yesterday. The
day is one regarded hig ly by colored peo
ple throughout the coultry, and the cele
bration in Savannah ab(jt noon was prob
ably similar to those in many other cities.
The imrade formed al 11:30 o’clock, at
Liberty and East Broad streets, and was
one of the main features of the day. It
consisted of the miiitaty, among which
,vas the First Battalion, under command
of Maj. w. H. Roy a 11, j/ieut. Sol C. John
son and Lieut. C. C. Sliders, members of
the Grand Army of lie Republic and
other civic organizations. The First
Battalion was headfl by Middleton’s
hand, and was compaed of Company F,
Capt. J. H. Carter; Company C, Capt.
Nelson Law; Company D, Capt. H.
N. Lawton; Company B, Capt.
W. J. Pinckney; Company A,
Cup!. Joseph L. Mirault, and
Cos. E. Capt. L. A Washington. There
were 211 men in the battalion, which tvas
followed in the i's ade by the G. A. R.
forces, the Georgia Artillery, under Capt.
J. C. Simmons, ad the Savannah Hussars,
under Lieut. Henry Williams. Next came
the Union Cornet band, followed by mem
bers of the Emancipation association in
carriages, headel by Capt. L. M. Pleasant,
chief marshal f the parade, with J. E.
Whiteman, W. H. Logan, P. M. Cohen,
J C. Ross, J. C. Atkin and C. B. Whaley
as assistants. The day was exceptionally
pleasant, and the parade made a creditable
display along the line of march, which em
braced all the principal streets.
At the park a large assemblage of colored
people gathered, and the programme ar
ranged under the auspices of the Emanci
pation Association, was carried out, and
witnessed with much interest. Rev. Alex
ander Harris was in charge of ceremonies
and Ilrst announced a song, in concert by
the gathering. Prayer was offered by Rev.
T. N. M. Smith, after which the emanci
pation proclamation, the document sacred
to the race, was read by Justin Brown.
Following this came the introduction of
Ihe speaker of the day, Rev. P. H. Travis,
who delivered an address on Ihe day and
appropriate thoughts in connection with
it. Among other things the speaker said:
“The Hebrews observe their Passover;
the Irish their St. Patrick's day; the Ro
mans, the English and the French, their
days; in short, all races which have risen
in the scale of civilization, have a day
by which they mark some important
event in their history. It is with pleasure
that I rejoice with you in the celebration
of this day, which I may say gave birth
to a nation.
“God put it into Abraham Lincoln thirty
four years ago and he wrote the procla
mation which took the yoke off 4,(100,000
of slaves and made them free. Prior
to the emancipation the negro was held
ns property, and for 245 years he served
bis master faithfully and well. Beginning
with the early settlement of America he
was the prime factor in clearing the for
est, ditching the swamps and cultivating
the soil. He has dropped his sweat on
every hill and in every valley. God never
made an inferior race for a superior one;
and there is nothing to substantiate any
such doctrine. ‘For God hath made out of
one blood all nations of men to dwell upon
the face of the earth.’
"In the civil war the negro was a va
liant soldier. The records of the war de
partment show there were 178.595 colored
men regularly enlisted as soldiers in the
union army, who, in their good conduct,
established a commendable record for effi
cient service in camp, fortress and field.
After four years of bloodshed and war,
the negro was set free. Prof. Bowen says:
when the famous edict of freedom went
forth, on Jan. 1, 1863, the negro, Instead
of being born into a state of liberty and
freedom, was damned into it.’ For well
nigh eight generations he had been woTk-
P'l. At the close of the war the negro was

remarkable. We have reduced our illiter
acy more than 40 per cent, in thirty-three
years. We are paying taxes in this state
on more than $35,000,(X)0 worth of property.
We have 27.000 school teachers. 2,000 phy
sicians and 1,000 lawyers, all of whom we
nave graduated from some of the best
pciiools in this and other countries. We
have 3,065,822 members of the church scat
tered among the various denominations.
These are led by thousands of able and
well-educated ministers, including 25 or 30
bishops. About 5.000.00 Uof our
peop.e can read. I am forced
to consider these achievements
something worthy when it Is known they
were all accomplished in one generation.
“But the time will come, and now ts
when we must put a price on our virtue.
If the white man is willing to die in the
defense of his wife and children, the ne
gro must be willing to die in the defense

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consump

digestion, makes the appetite keen and
assimilation perfect. It drives out the
impurities from the blood and fills it with
the life-giving elements that build up the
body. It is the greatest blood-maker and
purifier. When you pump rich, red, healthy
blood into an organ it cannot long remain
diseased. This is true of the lungs. New
healthy tissue is built up in them and the
germs of consumption are driven out.

A YEAR WITH THE POLICE.
The Commission's Annual Ileport to
the Connell.
The annual report of the police com
mission on the work of the department
for 1897 was received yesterday by the
mayor.
"The conservative policy which charac
terized the first year’s work of this board,”
the report states, “has been strictly fol
lowed during the past year, and we think
that the force has improved, both in dis
cipline and efficiency. To further guard
againht the appointments of unfit men on
the force the board has established during
the past year a quasi civil service examin
ation, by which every candidate, after
having passed the physical examination
by the surgeon, has to prove his familiarty
with all parts of the city. The average to
be obtained by a candidate has been fixed
at 60 per cent, of the questions asked, for
patrolmen, and at 75 per cent, for detec
tives. This examination is in writing, so
as to show the educational qualifications
of the candidate. Every new member of
the force has to undergo a two-months’
trial, during which he receives only $55 a
month, and at the expiration of the two
months’ apprenticeship he is again exam
ined by the commission, and if proven effi
cient. Is made a patrolman with the full
pay of $65 a month.”
Although council did not increase the
budget of the commission for 1897 the
board was enabled by economy to estab
lish a thorough ambulance system, anew
two-horse ambulance of the most approve
pattern being purchased, the ambulance
service connected with the Gamewell sys
tem and the Gamewell station house en
larged, so as to accommodate both ambu
lances and patrol wagons.
"We feel that this additional ambulance
service,” the report says, “has proven of
the greatest value to our citizens; and the
importance of this service will be duly ap
preciated when it is borne in mind that
our department actually does the whole
ambulance service for all the hospitals In
the city, also carrying sailors who fall
sick, from their vessels to the hospitals
and often bringing sick and disabled peo
ple, in need of ambulance transportation,
from a distance into the city.”
The force was Increased during the year
by four men, whilst, at the request of
council, by resolution of Oct. 6, last, a
full relief of three patrolmen was furnish
ed to the southern extension. The addi
tional appropriation offered by council for
this purpose was not needed.
Improvements have been made in the
sanitary accommodations of the sleeping
quarters and the stables, new closets built
in the stable yard and the old primitive
closets and sink demolished. The stable
yard has been paved and partly asphalted
and proper arrangements made for drain
age.
The whole property of the department is
reported in good repair, with the exception
of the old guard house, which is said to be
absolutely unfit for service. Under the ex
isting conditions the separation of the sex
es and also of the races is often an im
possibility, the keepers being often forced
to leave youthful delinquents in contact
with hardened criminals, there being no
provision for the solitary confinement and
safe keeping of the latter class of evil do
ers.
The expenditures of the department dur
ing the year were $79,000.87. The receipts
from various sources were $147.86. The ap
propriation for uniforms was $3,000 and the
expenditure was $3,280.90, the excess being
deducted from the department appropria
tion. Summing up all these figures there
was a saving in the department appropria
tion of SBO,OOO of $866.09.
"The detective department has proven
thoroughly competent,” the report says,
“and its value and importance is best il
lustrated by the record it has made rs
given in the chief report.
"The efficient services of Chief McDer
mott and Lieut. Reilly are especially com
mended and a thorough esprit du corps
pervades our entire force.”
The cheerful co-operation of the author
ities of the Ocean Steamship Company’s
nolice force is testified to and the cheer
ful and efficient attention of the surgeon,
Dr J S Howkins, to the many calls
made upon him by the department, is
specially mentioned.
The report of the chief of police accom
panies that of the commission. A brief
svnopsls has been printed in the Morning
News The report shows that there were
5 086 arrests for the year 1897, including the
information cases. This almost doubleo
the number for the previous year, which

and road ordinances, adopted by council,
during the year, account largely for the
in the number of arrests, the
chief states. The number of penmns ar
rested for state offenses is less than for
the previous year. The detectives made
457 arrests during the >er and
stolen property of the value of $17,-43. jO.
Bicycles to the number of eighty-six were
stolen during the year and of this number
seventy-three were recovered, to the value
of $4 650.0f the total number of arrests 1,841
were white and 3,428 colored. There were
seventeen arrests for murder during the
year, of which six were for crimes com
mitted in other states.
The department has made a good record
during the year and has been brought up
to a high state of efficiency.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1898.
A MEDAL FOR DR. WILSON.
In Recognition of ilia Heroic Act nt
01,1 Point Comfort.
Dr. F. C. Wilson has been presented a
gold medal by the Southern Dental As
sociation in recognition of his bravery in
saving the life of Dr. Jules J. Sarrazin of
New Orleans while bathing at Old Point
Comfort last August.
The presentation was made informally
yesterday by Col. J. 11. Esiill in behalf of
the dental association. The medal was
forwarded some time ago and it was the
intention to make a formal presentation of
it on Christmas day. Dr. Wilson left the
city for Florida, however, before the medal
arrived and has just returned.
The American Dental Association met at
Old Point Comfort Inst August. Dr. Wil
son was in attendance with a number of
other southern members, among them Dr.
Sarrazin of New Orleans, who was bath
ing with a party off the pier in front of
Hygeia hotel. He was a good swimmer,
and was out a considerable distance from
the shore when he was seized with cramps.
None of the others in the party were
swimmers, and the drowning man was
about to sink for the Jast time, when Dr.
Wilson, who was on the piazza of the ho
tel, was attracted by the cries for help.
He ran down the pier, pulling off what
clothes he could on the way, and jumped
into the water with his shoes on. He
reached Dr. Sarrazin easily, but it was
with great difficulty that he got him to
the shore. Soon after he caught hold.of
the drowning man and started shorewards
with him, the latter became unconscious
from loss of strength and from having
taken in so much water. By the most
heroic efforts Dr. Wilson succeeded in
bringing the apparently lifeless body to
the shore, where vigorous work shortly
afterward restored Dr. Sarrazin to con
sciousness.
The American Dental Association the
same day presented Dr. Wilson a set of
resolutions commending his bravery and
urging the President to direct a govern
ment life saving medal to be struck in
recognition of the heroic act. The Southern
Dental Association at once decided to
present Dr. Wilson a medal. It was made
and forwarded to Col. Estill, to be pre
senied. Accompanying the medal were the
following letters:
Dec. 18, 1897.—Dr. Frank H. Wilson, Sa
vannah, Ga.: My Dear Doctor—lt is with
great pleasure that I transmit to you.
through Mr. J. H. Estill, the medal award
ed you by the Southern Dental Associa
tion, for your act of bravery on Aug. 4
last; and I feel it an honor to have as
sisted in the commemoration of the deed
by being selected to design and execute
their commission.
I sincerely trust that you will not again
be called upon to risk your life in behalf
of another, knowing full well that should
such an occurrence arise you would not
hesitate for an instant in responding.
Hoping the coming years will prove
fruitful of prosperity and happiness. Be
lieve me, yours sincerely,
C. Edmund Kells, Jr.
Southern Dental Association, Office of
President, Knoxville, Tenn.—Dr. Frank
Wilson: Dear Doctor—lt is with pleasure
I think of you and the manly, generous
act at Old Point Comfort which pro
longed the life of your fellow man, for, it
is to be hoped, some mission of like im
portance, maybe, to some of our Maker's
fold. It was my honor to be president
(and presiding over) the Southern Dental
Association, which, by the way, ended its
career at Old Point. To me, by resolu
tion of the association, was left the privi
lege of appointing a suitable person to
carry out its wishes. In appointing Dr.
C. E. Kells, whose motion led to the
adoption of the resolutions. I voiced the
unexpressed sentiment of all his con
feres. I write upon a letter head of the
old association, which contains its offi
cers, that it may carry with it when time
shall dull our memory, some assistance
toward recalling some who were connected
with the preparing for you the medal
which 1 send to you to-day.
You will pardon the following few crude
fines, which 1 have linked together, im
perfectly, as they fall from the pen of one
who writes them for no critic, but for the
touch which makes us kin.
With best wishes, Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year, yours cordially,
William H. Richards.
Dec. 23, 1597.
A premonition, born from above,
Held thee to duty, bound by iove,
To stay the cruel wave, whose sigh
And rustling rush would hush his cry.
By nature 'quipped with Godly heart
To act for man a Savior's part;
To save another’s life, O! impulse divine!
Heedless of self in strife, all honor is
thine.
When the tide of Time shall find thee
Drifting, longing, hoping to be free,
Helpless upon its deadly wave,
Trust not til then for one to save.

The medal Is of gold, nearly the size of
a government first-class iiie-saving medal,
and is richly ornamented. On its face Is
the Inscription:
Presented to Frank C. Wilson, D. D. S.,
by the Southern Dental Association.
On the reverse side is this inscription:
“For the saving of a life at the peril of
his own.” Old Point Comfort, Va., Aug.

TREASURER DECLARED GUILTY
KNIGHTS OF ARCHERY AFTER
THEIR ERSTWHILE OFFICIAL.
Said He Appropriated to His Own I ne
Money Tlint Was to Have Been
Paid Attorneys—An Amusing Case
That Took Tp the Day in the Su
perior Court To-morrow’s Case
Postponed Until Jan. 18 llow
About $3,31)0 Recently Found Its
Way into the Registry of Ihe City
Court.
The entire day in the superior court
yesterday was taken up with the trial of
Sam Fields, colored, formerly treasurer
of the Grand United Order of the Knights
of Archery, upon a charge of larceny after
trust, for that the said Sam Fields did
get away with Jll.llG belonging to the grand
united order, which he should have paid
to Messrs. O'Connor & O'Byrne.
The case was an interesting and amus
ing one, and many witnesses were intro
duced, pretty near all of the officers of
the society. It developed that the society
had more officers than anything else.
There was the noble grand, the assistant
noble grand, a long line of noble grands,
secretaries of all denominations, ali
brands of deputies, but only one treasurer,
Sam Fields.
The question before the jury was wheth
er or not Sam had diverted that money to
his own use. Sam claimed he had noc.
He admitted that he had had charge or
the funds of the knights, but that he had
ever made any improper use of them he
emphatically denied, and he produced re
ceipts to show how he had paid out money
for the order. It was difficult, not to say
impossible, to show from the hooks just
what financial transactions Fields had
had. The books were not kept like those
of a bank or an important commercial
concern.
During the progress of the trial one of
(ho jurors called the attention of the
court to the fact that (Fields was making
signs toward one of the witnesses on the
stand. This Fields denied, but another
juror said he also had noticed the defend
ant making signs. Mr. W. F. Slater then
moved for a mistrial upon the ground that
the action of the jurors showed they were
prejudiced in the case. Judge Falligant
refused to allow the motion and the trial
proceeded, Mr. Slater entering an excep
tion to the decision.
James Dorsey, a well-known negro, a
member of the society who sits way up
in the “house of pope,” was the main
prosecutor in the case, though it looked
as it there were several other officers of
the order who had it in for Fields. The
jury evidently thought he had been using
some of the funds improperly as they re
turned a verdict of guilty about 9:30 o’clock
last night. Fields was taken to jail and
will be sentenced this morning. His at
torney, Mr. Slater, will doubtless make a
motion for anew trial.
The trial of Dr. J. D. Prosser upon
charges involving Improper practice will
not take place to-morrow on account of
the sickness of Mr. R. R. Richards, who,
with Maj. I’. W. Meldrim, will appear for
the defense. When the matter was
brought up Solicitor General Osborne said
the state was ready, but at Mr. Richards
request a continuance was allowed until
Jan. 18. Dr. Prosser expresses himself as
anxious that the trial take place, as he
is confident of winning.
Within the last few days something like
$3,300 has found its way into the regis
try of.(he city court for distribution among
the officials of that court pro rata upon
their insolvent costs.
For several days the matter was kept
very quiet, but it is now being talked of
quite freely. It seems that J. Hirsch, E.
A. Marcus and Charles Collman were be
fore Judge Norwood on charges of keep
ing policy lotteries. The cases did not go
before the grand jury of the court, but the
parties were brought before Judge Nor
wood on accusations, such as are usually
made out in misdemeanor eases, and en
tered pleas of guilty. Judge Norwood as
sessed each of them SI,(XM and costs, and
in each case the fine and costs were paid.
It is said none of these panlies has been
before Judge Norwood before this time.
It is reported, however, that there was
some trepidation on their part, on account
of Judge Norwood's having told certain
other parties who were up for the same
offense that the next time they appeared
before him he would not fine them, but
would send them to the chain-gang.
An indictment against William Jones, on
the charge of larceny after trust, over
the value of SSO, was nolle prossed in the
superior court yesterday.
