FERRY FROM DOCK TO DOCK. WATER LINE TO BE OPERATED ALONG THE RIVER FRONT. Petition for the Incorporation of the Dock Ferry Company Ha.i Been Filed in tiie Superior Court—The Com puny Intend* to Opi*nte a. Line of Modern Ferry Boi/te From the Plnnt System Wharves to Those of the Central HaiKiway and to the Manufaetur- Rff Plants Further I p the River, rhijte Will Be Cheap Fares and /onfenient Schedules, potion for the incorporation of the Avannah Dock Ferry Company has been filed in the Superior Court and is being advertised in compliance with law. When the plans of this prospective corporation are placed in successful operation they will rtrult in material advantage to the shippitfo interests of the port. The fp<etitioners named in the plea fc.r incorporadon are William W. Mackall of Savamiih, R. G. Erwin of New York; John fiKelton Williams of Richmond, Yau, Jacob Paulsen, J.. F. Minis, Henry C. J. A. G. Carson, Beirrue Gordon, and W. A. Bisbee of Savannah. The capital stock to be employed in the busineili is the sum of s.£>,oo) and the period for which, the company desires to exercise corporate powers and privileges is fifty years. The names of the men at the head of the new enterprise make as surance doubly sure that the corporate plans and intentions will be carried into full effect. It is proposed to operate a line of com modious and convenient ferry boats along the - river front of Savannah, from the Plant System wharves on the east to the Central Railway wharves and he manu facturing plants situated further up the river on the west. The boats will ply from one end of the proposed route to the oth er. in accordance with a schedule that will meet with the convenience of patron? and the demands of travel, stopping at the various docks on both sides of the river. The main stopping places, of course, w 11 be the three great terminals, these of the Plant System, the Georgia and Alabama and the Central of Georgia Railways. It is thought by the promoters of the enterprise that the operation of the ferry line will be of material advantage to those interested in shipping along the river ffont and particularly to mariners and others, whose business calls them to ves sels anchored far up or down the river and who desire to reach the central sec tion of the city. There are many also who work at these places, and nothing could be devised that would bring them to the business quarter of the town more quick ly and pleasantly than the line of ferries. The fare will be made moderate, to the end that the line may become popular from the first. The boats will be of the best class and will be able to make the trip from on© end of the line to the other In quick time. The schedule will be a convenient one. so that, there will be no irksome nor unnecessary delays for those who are expected to become patrons of the company. Mr. W. W. Mackall. one of the incorpora tors and a leading spirit in the enterprise, was asked yesterday to give to the Morn ing News an outline of the plans the company intended to follow. Other than the. general idea of the company’s purposes that is sketched above he said he was not. in a position to give information, as the details would have to receive the con sideration and would be dependent upon the determination of the stockholders or directors of the new corporation, after its charter had been granted by the Superior Court. It will be a month before the charter can be obtained legally, and not before that time will the company be formally organized. As soon thereafter as possi ble. however, it is proposed to place the line in operation .and the necessary vessels will be purchased, with all other needed facilities for the convenient handling of passengers, at once. Mr Mack.ill could not say just how* many ferry boats would be used by the company, but there will be sufficient, he did say. to meet every de mand of travel. The enterprise is an entirely new* one in Savannah, but its very newness bespeak? the confidence the incorporators have in the future of the city and the certainty of its growth and the Immediate and healthy expansion of its trade and commerce. That these shrewd business men should be of this fixed opinion is a matter of en couragement for the less sanguine of their brethren and of discomfiture to the small aggregation of Doubting Thomases who scent disaster in every passing breeze. FORMALLY TIRAED OVER. Gforg;itt Telephone Company \ow in Kail Charge of the riant. The Georgia Telephone plant was for mally turned over to the company yes terday. A meeting of the stockholders was held at the offices of Charlton, Mackall & Anderson, and the property was taken charge of by the directors. Mr. J. Randolph Anderson was elected a member of the board, which now con sists of W. A. Bisbee, president, J. H. EstHl, vice president. Leopold Adler, treasurer, J. Randolph Anderson, secre tary. and H. P.

Next week the erection of the lines west of Bull street will connecting with the cables running out Barnard street. The company wilt soon have, its net work of wires spread all over the city. The company has made an excellent start in business. Its excellent service is in demand, and telephones are being put In as rapidly as the company can con nect them up. WHOLESALERS WILL CLOSE. Grocers and Liquor Dealers to Shut nt 2 on Saturdays. The wholesale grocers and liquor deal ers of the city, with one exception, have signod an agreement to dose their places of business and give their employes a holiday at 5 o’clock on each Saturday af ternoon from the present time untii the last Saturday in August. The movement 10 secure this action from the wholesale dealers was institut ed by Messrs. Ott & Fleming, and has been finally successful. The half holiday that the. clerks in the wholesale houses will thus secure on Saturdays during the heated term will be phasing and grati fying to them, as well because of the food fee'iny between employer and em ploye that it show's to exist, as of thp opportunity for recreation and relaxation that will be thus allowed.

WEST. * OLOREO BAPTISTS IN SESSION. ; Missionary Baptist Convention Has -•NG Delegate* Here. ! The Missionary Baptist Convention of ! Georgia, representing thousands of the colored people of that denomination, is in session in Savannah at the First Afri can Baptist Church. Two hundred and fifty delegates from all parts of the state are in attendance upon this, the thirtieth session, of the convention. The convention was called to order by Vice President C. S. Wilkins of Augusta. Devotional and business sessions are in progress morning, afternoon and evening. Rev. A. S. Staley of Americus, is the secretary of the convention. Out of respect to the memory of the late Rev. E. K. Love, who was president of the convention for a number of years, it was determined that no election of offi cers should be held, but that the present officers should hold over another year, the vice president performing the duties of the presidency. Asa further mark of respect it was decided that each delegate to the convention should wear a badge */f mourning for Rev. Love, for a period of ninety days. Encouraging reports were received from Central City College, at Macon, which was founded bv the late president of the convention, and prospered under his pa tronage. For this reason the conven tion feels a special interest in its wel fare. For its support the sum of $1,184.42 has been raised since the convention has been in session, and it is expected that this amount of money will be considerably augmented before the adjournment 4s taken. To-day has been set apart for the ex ercises of the Woman’s Missionary So ciety, an auxiliary organization of the convention. The session will he continued until Sunday evening, when the adjourn ment for the year will be taken. The or ganization l? one of the largest and most influential among the religious bodies of the colored people of Georgia. SACRED CONCERT AT ST. PALI/*. Programme of To-night'* Compli mentary HeHtul. The choir and others interested In mu sic* in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, have been hoping to so perfect things that they would be able to supplement the music without interfering with the reverence due the church, and at the same time, give the public an opportunity of becom ing acquainted with the treasures of sa cred music.

Frierson Attempted to Disarm Patrolman l)a, is Willi 311 IteenllN. A negro who rejoices in the name of J. Frierson was 6hot and seriously wound ed by Officer R. T. Davis et an early hour this morning. While on the way to the station house under arrest Frierson at tempted to resist and disarm the officer and the shooting was the immediate con sequence of this attempt. Patrolman Davis had entered the negro s house in Oglethorpe lane, near Houston street, for the purpose of searching for another party. The negro allowed the officer to enter, but after he was inside commenced to abuse and .curse him in a way that Davis could not and would not tolerate. He told Frierson he would have to accompany him to the station hou3e ami the march began. As he left the house the negro saw 'he offiee-’s revolver and attempted to take it away. There was a struggle in the street and, seeing that the negro might possibly he successful and that the diffi culty might result either in the. loss of his prisoner or in persona! injury to Him self, the officer fired. The bail plowed its way through the negro's side and very near the heart. He was able, however, to walk os far as the station house, where his wounds received attention. They are not believed to be dangerous. trrtinivEi's fees disallowed. Lang Did tat Rorovor Them in His Suit Against Ann llednn. Judge Norwood heard arguments yes terday afternoon in the case of Nicholas Lang, against Mrs. Ann Redan, in which the questions of fact had all been admit ted, and the, decision of the one remaining Issue, that of attorney's fees, left to the court without the Intervention of n jury. The defendant had borrowed from the plaintiff the sum of *3.00(1, agreeing to re pay it with interest, and 10 per cent, at torney’s fees under certain contingencies. The answer filed by the defendant to the petition of the plaintiff, admitted the lia bility for principal and interest, but dis puted the claim for attorney's fees that the plaintiff was endeavoring to enforce. This vexed question was argued before Judge Norwood by Mr. S. D. Dazaron, for the plaintiff, and by Mr. George W. Owens for the defendant. After hearing the arguments pro and con. Judge Nor wood decided that the law was against the contention of the plaintiff, and under his decision a verdict wos taken for the principal and interest merely. BITTERY V AMI PICKED TEAM.

Then it fell away, rhut the Maris had a good start. Fully oft) yards separated the two when they were opposite Wilmington Island pier, the Dra goon being cn the w’est and the Marris on the east bank of the river. Reefs were let out by both boats as the wind died away, and not once during the rest of the race were any taken, though down in Warsaw sound the wind blew more strongly than at the start. Danger of squalls had jassed though, for the weath er cleared not long after the start. Drifted for an Hour. For an hour the wind was distressingly fiohl. and the boats drifted along. What little wind there was. seemed to work to the advantage of the Dragoon, and she made up some of the distance between her and the Maris, reducing it to perhaps 300 yards. The following craft soldiered, listlessly along, all thb Dragoon’s sym pathizers, knowing not that it would have made no difference, save in the Maris’ favor, longing for a breeze. Gradually the breeze came, rem lining light, though steady, for an hour. It was off Skidaway Island that it began to make itself felt, coming from the south east. The boats began to tack, the Maris being the first to come about. It did not take the experts long fo see that, in tacking, the Maris “out-pointed” the Dra goon. Indeed, before the race was over, it was a generally accepted statement that the Maris could outsail the Dragoon with the wind from any quarter and of and velocity. The stock of the Dragoon went up once during the race. That was during a couple of miles sailing near and off Joe’s Cut. where, the stakeboat was dropped by the Tybee. The Savannah boat seemed to gain, some advantage through ;*>sition or the sweep of the tide, which is then coming in, and the boats were within a short distance of each other for awhile. The Maris’ superiority soon asserted itself, though, and off Cabbage Island she was making her former lead goed. Just there the river widens into Warsaw sound, and tlie rising wind and the ocean swell combined to make the water rough. The attending boats could see the Maris and the Dragoon ride the waves in splen did style, especially the former, which had on advantage in lightness. The wind, too, was fresh enough to make the Savannah yachtsmen watch for any indication of the predicted shake the Dragoon was to give the Maris when the weather was rough, bui the gap showed, instead of evidence of decreasing, a strong tendency to grow. Around the First Stake boat. Now a critical point in the race was ap proaching. This was the rounding of the first stakeboat. that which had been an chored off Cabbage Island. As the Maris had beaten the Dragoon on the run down, the two boats having sailed close-hauled or tacking all the way, it was hoped that, oh the run back before the wind or with it over the quarter, the Dragoon would show the Maris points. First, though, it was desired to catch the time as they rounded the stakeboat. The statement above shows the time when this and the other boats were rounded, and it may be seen that the Maris was four minutes in the lead. The race was not’ half over, yet she had nearly given the Dragoon her time allowance. One minute after the Maris rounded the boat she had her balloon jib drawing finely aiuF was racing for the Joe's Cut boat. The Dragoon broke out her balloon jib forty-five seconds after coming around the boat, but she took in her main jib. Just here the only criticism on the sailing of the Dragoon was offered. Though C;;pt. Barnard probably knew the toints of his boat better than the crowd, it was yet freely said that he should have flown mainsail, main jib, balloon jib and spin naker. for that is what the Maris soon did, running clear before the wind witn q perfect mountain of canvas spread. Five and one-quarter minutes after th* Maris, the Dragoon rounded the Joe's Cut stakeboat, having lost one and one quarter minutes on the run. Beating back to the Cabbage Island stakeboat again, she lost still more, rounding it nine minutes after the Maris. Then the sail homeward started, ond the Dragoon wanted to try the example of the Maris. Accordingly, she. too. broke out her bal loon jib and her spinnaker, running free under all her sails. She did better then, for on the run home from the Cabbage Island stakeboat. she lost but two minutes and fifty-five seconds, whereas, on the short stretch from stakeboat to stakeboat before, she had lost one minute and fif teen seconds. Tii**' Mari** “Promenade.** The return home was a “cinch” for the Maris. It reminded one of the promenade of the British to Pretoria. The Tybee sped on in front of the returning fleet, and the Maris looked a thing of beauty as she pushed her way homeward. Not a rift in the bellying sails, not a place where the wind could beat its way through, could be seen. Her tremendous sail area was makirg itself felt, and the boat was tak ing her course in a way that made Charlestonians glow with pride. The Dra goon, too, came on at a good pace, but the Maris had the race, and no one doubted it from the time the Joe’s Cut boat was rounded. The only chance for the Dragoon would have been for some thing to carry away on the Maris, and that seemed as unlikely as ;hat she should sink in the sound. The Tybee reached the prolongation of the starling line, and the timers pre pared to catch the Maris as she crossed, a winner. It was to an accompaniment of cheers and blasts from the w histles of the steam craft that had kept the pace up the river that she passed over, and then she dropped her sails, was again taken care of by the Winona, and all hands waited the coming of the Dragoon, which was off Wilmington pier as the Maris crossed the line. The Dragoon was com ing at a spanking rate, too, and soon she was over the line. Then the procession to the Yacht Club started, where most of the boats 'and- and their passengers. Some of the spectators took the water route back to the city, but the majority came back by the cars. A special service was put on, and the crowd was handled very satisfactorily and ex peditiously. The second race will be sailed to-day. Savannahians seem to have lost hope, and it is pretty generally conceded that this will be (he last day. It is feared that there will be no third day. The agree ment wos for the leest two In thro", but a third may not be necessary. If the weather is clear, there may be quite as large a crowd, to witness to-day's race, even though there seems but small chance for the Dragoon. . A THHIKTY LITTLE CITY.

Chicago, March 3, 1900. Warner’s Safe Cure Cos., Gentlemen: I will be glad to bear testimony to the value of Warner’s Safe Cure for dropsy. I want those afflicted as I have been to take this life giver and get well as I did. I suffered agony for three years and my life was despaired of, when one day my doctor said: “I guess I will give you Warner’s.” Thank God for such a remedy. It brought me health and new life. I have used it pretty regularly for a year, but I am well to-day, and had it not been for Warner’s Safe Cure I would have been in my grave. Respectfully, MRS. MELISSA WHITCOMB, 4824 Prairie Ave., Chicago. Chairman Executive Committee, Illinois Woman's Alliance. (Dropsy Is the dread symptom of advanced Kidney Disease.) COMPLETED HIS ROUNDS. Col. Nlercer** Talk to the Colored School Children. President George A. Mercer, of the Board of Education, completed his round of the schools for the present school year yesterday. Col. Mercer makes it a point to visit every school and every class in every school at least once during the school year. He completed his tour at the East Broad street colored school yester day. These visits of Col. Mercer are always a source of pleasure to both teachers and pupils, and he is always warmly received. It is his rule to make a short address at each school visited .and this was not omit ted yesterday. Col. Mercer gave the chil dren a plain, practical talk upon their du ties to themselves to take every advantage of the opportunities offered, and to make the best uses of them in order that they might become good citizens. The hope of the negro race, he told them, lay in honest, practical effort and in making good use of the opportunities of the ad vantages offered them. If they will make themselves useful and will show' their abil ity to do something they will not be con sidered undesirable members of society, and their efforts will meet with recogni tion. There Is no bar against the negroes ac complishing something for himself. Col. Mercer told them. As an evidence of w*hat can be done he told of a Chinaman who came here a few' years ago. poor and without friends, but who managed to se cure a piec*e of ground on the outskirts of the city and set to work raising vege tables. By hard, intelligent, work he made a decided success and was the only truck grower who was able to supply the mar ket with lettuce last winter. He is now improving his ground by putting in sev eral thousand feet of drainage pipe. If a Chinaman, without friends among either white or colored, can make a suo cess in a business of this kind. Col. Mer cer said, why cannot any worthy colored man accomplish as much with equal ap plication. If he be the right sort of man he would be certain to have a number of friends among both w’hite and colored to give him a helping hand where the China man had none. He also cautioned the children against policy lotteries and crap playing and other weaknesses of the race. Principal Ross followed Col. Mercer with a short lalk, in which he endorsed the remarks of the president and instruct ed the children to go home and tell their parents what the president of the board had said, particularly with regard to buy ing policy tickets. WAS A GLITTERING SUCCESS. Com fortalile Addition Made to Police Benevolent Association’* Fund. The picnic of the Police Benevolent As sociation at Tybee on yesterday, was among the successes of the year. The offi cers and men of the force were gathered on the island in large numbers, and the friends of the association had contrib uted their presence end their half-dollars to make the occasion successful and finan cially profitable. There was dancing on the. broad pavil ions of Hotel Tybee during all of the day and until midnight last night, when the last train left the Island for the city. Two bands furnished the music for the occa sion, and when anyone wanted to dance there was no reason why he or she should not gratify his or her desire. Other amusements were furnished by the com mittee that had charge of the pleasure and entertainment of the guests. A large percentage of those who attend ed the picnic returned to the city only on the last train from the island, and their departure was attended with sin cere regret that the day had been fully spent. A comfortable addition was made to the treasury of the Police Benevolent Association, for whose benefit the picnic was given. The tickets had been general ly purchased, and many of those who had tickets, found themselves unable to at tend the picnic. avill play fernandiva. Suvnnnnli Ham-bull Team to Go There To-normv.
