tloac for kha Kerning Y*ar—
KUcilon of Chairman of
Board of Public H'orkit
The regular weekly meeting of city
council will be held tonight, having been

regular meeting night.
The meeting will be of the utmost In.
terest* ua there are several Important
matters to come up. Among them will
be tho mayor’s message, which Is expect*
ed to be something In the nature of a
surprise. Then, too, the adoption of the
license and tax ordinance for the ensuing
year Is a part of the programme of the
meeting. This ordinance Is of great In
terest to every business man In the city,
os It fixes the rate of taxation and also
the bualneas license for 1S96. Another Im
portant question will be tho appropila-
tlons for tho coming year. This Is a ques-
tlon of much Interest to all, and It ts
whispered that there will bo some sweep
ing reductions In tho amount allowed sev
eral branches of tho city government.
The election of a chairman of the Pub

most Important matters beforo the meet
ing. Ex-Alderman T- J. Carling and Mr.
Miller Gordon are both being spoken of
for tho place, hut It ts understood that
both gentlemen have said they did not
want It. Their friends, however, are earn
estly trying to got them to allow their
names to go before the meeting.
The mayor's mcrssge, It Is understood,
will deal largely with tho city,’* finances,
which Is a question the pooplo Just now
nro deeply Interested In, Inasmuch as
much 1ms been said on this line In auch
a manner as to lead to tho general belief
that the city’s finances nro In bod shape.
What will bo done with salaries Is not
yet known, but Bomo of tho aldermen
have been heard to say that they would
not consent to n reduction In tho salary
of any one, ua thero waa not a city offi
cial getting a salary too large for the du
ties roqulred of him.
There ore other Important matters to
como up at tho meeting tonight and It Is
probnblo that something further will bo
beard from tho sewers.

What came near being a sanguinary
race riot occurred in Tybee yesterday
morning over the arest of a negro by
Policeman John Davis.
The negro was durnk and acting disor
derly when Policeman Davis placed him
under, arrest. The negro restated, but
Policeman Davis was the better man of
the two and was taking him along to the
station when a mob numbering fully fifty
negroes, most of whom were drunk, gath
ered and began threatening the police
man, but a braver or more determined
man than John Davis never wore a uni
form, and he held to his prisoner. The
negroes then swarmed around him, und
before ho could pull his pistol or even use
his club they pounced upon him, and al
though he fought bravely and struggled
tho best he oould, ho was soon overpow
ered and the prisoner taken sway. The
negroes then drew their pistols and threat
ened to kill the policeman if he attempted
to arrest one of them. Knowing the des
perate character of the negroes of that
locality and that he would stand no
chance whatever of his life against such
overwhelming odds. Policeman Davis
communicated with police headquarters
as soon as possible and asked for assist
ance. Chief Butner at once Mspatched a
squad of police to the scene, each armed
with a Winchester rifle, besides pistols
and clubs. Tho squad procured hacks
and In a few minutes arrived on tho
sceno. By this time several hundred ne
groes. many of them armed with rifles,
shotguns and pistols, had collected and
were threatening to kill the first white
man who approached them. The squad of
police, however. Was composed of men
who do not flinch nt tho muzzle of a gun,
oven when the gun Is. In tho hands of a
desperate negro, nor did they fear the
largo number, but charged on Orem with
drawn rifles, ready to fire If It became
necessary.
Seeing tho determined manner of the
police, tho negroes soon besan to scamper
away, nnd as tho police had no desire to
shed blood unless it becamq, necessary,
all but nine of‘them escaped. The nine
were quickly surrounded and their arms
taken from them. .They submitted to ar
rest quietly, knowing that further resist-
un<’t* would u» u.wrlfHH, nnd wore toon on
their way to tho police station, where
they were locked up and the charges of
rioting nnd carrying concealed weapons
placed against them.
The .police nre confident Unit had Po
liceman Davis drawn his pistol whllo sur
rounded by tho infuriated mob he would
have been shot and clubbed to pieces, and
lmd tho squad not gone heavily armed
with the long range rifles the negroes
would have fired on them. But tho Win
chesters Intimidated and frightened them
anil they knew that their only means of
avoiding arrest was In flight. They will
have n hearing beforo Recorder Freeman
this morning.
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
A Negfo Boy's Costly Look Donvn a
Rlflo Barrel.
A 12-ycar-old n?gro boy who works
for Mr. Louis Burghurd. was acciden
tally shot yesterday noraiog by the
7-ycar*old son of Mr. Henry Spoor.
The ’accident was du* to the same oki
cauec—tho email boy’s curtoahy to
gaze down the barrel of A loaded gun,
and may cost the victim his life.
Yung Speer wt\B walking nlon-g th»
street with ht* air gun thrown ov.tr
his shoulder when the negro* who knew
Speer well, playfuWy rau up behind
and grasping the gun by the muzzle,
looked down Ulio barrel “Just to nee if
he oould s’O the ball"—ho afterwurds
Ka'd, The youthful owner of the cud
was at the time figuring with tlie trig
ger. and us that 111 luck that haums
small boys In Christmas time would
have it, the gun waa discharged.
Th> dlselwirge of the gun wns Just
In time for the ball to take ‘the negro
above the right eye, and witli a shriek
of pain ho Muggoivd back uud almost
fell upon -the tddewtllk.
As soon «s possible Dr. Stapler was
summoned to the relief of the wound-
ed boy and found (tut the ball had
entered just above the right eye and
penetrating the head, had lodged at tll>
bau of the brain. He bad nothestt-jney
in pronouncing the wound n probably
fatal one. though he thinks that If .the
bay’s condition thus morning will al
low him to r-tnnv the eye bn Ik'the
bullet may be extracted nnd his life yet
saved. «.
Then' seems to ho no posalbV* ground
for charge of Intentional shooting, ns
the negro himself Riid he had Liot
spoken to or had anything to do with
the white boy before ho run up to Ills
Vac* nnd begun (Sx>ling with the gun.

Cliristmos dinners before Whelr guests

seemed lo vie tviitto some other com

nnd the result Idas itholt, after reading
their respective menus, one found it a
great 'task *> decide who offered the
best dinner.
But •there were plenty of people hun
gry for Christmas rturkey to fill tho
ample dlndng rooms at all tho leu'ling
hotels. It was not sufflctenlt that ttoe
(hotel men should prepare dinner for
the regular Mounters and ttoe 'transient
visitors, but whole families of «ho city,
(having dismissed ‘tlhelr servamts, en
gaged folMles n't ittoe iBrown, the Ennier,

the well established reputations of ttoe
holds at these houses Ito satisfy ,their
appetites, sharply whetted by the
