Will mark the last Fourth of July in the
nineteenth century by specially commem
orating the day. In the ante-bellum days
the Fourth of July was always the chief
midsummer holiday of the South. After
the war it was neglected, but for the lo t
ten years Its observance has been grad
ually becoming more popular until now. it
may be eaid to be once more re-estab
lished.
As evidence of this fact to-day's ob
servance of the nation's birthday prom
ises to be more general in Savannah than
any similar observance in the memory of
the present generation. Everybody seems
willing and anxious to observe the day,
motives of personal comfort and pleasure
being the chief considerations, and it is
safe to assert that fewer people will work
and more will play to-day than for many
a month past. Street railway employes
nd others, whose duty it is to contrib
ute to the enjoyment of the rest of the
population, will have a hard day of it,
but it is necessary that some must work
In order that others may enjoy their play.
The banks, exchanges and public build
ings will be closed. The leading business
Louses will close for the entire day, as
well os many of the smaller ones, and
those who do not close for the entire day,
will take half holiday. The railroad em
ployes at shops, offices and warehouses
will get an entire holiday, except those
who will be on duty for a few hours In
the freight department® to deliver perish
able freight. The Postoffice will
observe holiday hours, and in fact
pretty much the whole town will be run
on the holiday schedule.
The Chatham Artillery will start the.
day off In the good old way, by burning
a considerable amount of powder in firing
a national salute. This is an old custom
of the Chathams, but one which had
been allowed to fall into neglect. It has
been decided to renew it and in proof of
their patriotism the Chathams will as
semble at their armory at 6 o’clock this
morning, and will proceed at once to the
parade ground, where the regulation sa
lute will be fired from the old Washing
ton guns. The residents in the neighbor
hood of the parade ground, whose early
morning slumbers will be disturbed by
the firing of cannon, may not altogether
appreciate this display of patriotsim on
the part of the Chathams; but they will
hardly make any complaint.
A little later in the day Mr. John
Rourke ■will hold his annual Fourth of
July celebration. Mr. Rourke said last
night that the programme will be the
same as on former occasions, except that
George Washington, the famous old
eagle, will not be on hand to flap his
wings and scream tp the plaudits of the
crowd. Mr. Rourke has not been able
tO secure another eagle to take the place
of George, but hopes to do so before an
other year rolls around.
Mr. Rourke will array himself in his
Uncle Sam costume, in which he comes
nearer to being an exact reproduction of
the national cartoon than any other man
living, and will read the Declaration of
Independence to his employes, as he has
done for years past. Then his cannon,
vome of them trophies from the recent
Spanish war and othres from former
wars, will give the national salute. The
exercises will conclude with the tapping
of several kegs of beer in which the em
ployes will drink the health of Mr. Rourke
and Uncle Sam.
The city is likely to be almost depopu
lated during the afternon. Large crowds
will go out of the city to Tybee, Thunder
bolt, Isle of Hope and other resorts. Spe
cial schedules have been arranged for >ll
of these places which will make them easy
of access to the crowd. The regatta at
Isle of Hope w-ill he a big attraction, end
3e expected to draw large crowds. For
the people who remain in the city the
Southern Bell Telephone Company offers
an attraction in the shape of long dis
tance telephone reports from the Kansas
City Convention, and those who are spe
cially interested may learn of Bryan’s
unanimous nomination during the day.
The reports will HP furnished to the clubs,
hotels and other places desiring them.
The Georgia Hussars will spend the
morning at the Avondale rifle range. The
troop will meet at tits armory at Bull and
Liberty streets at 8 o’clock this morning,
dismounted, and will take the 8:30 o’clock
car for the range. The shooting will be
with carbines and pistols for the company
■nedals. Copt. McAlpin hopes to get
through with the practice by noon in or
der that the men may be free to partici
pate in the festivities elsewhere.
Several of the labor unions have arrang
ed for a picnic at Wilmington. The steam
er Santee has been engaged and will make
three trips, one from the city and two
from Thunderbolt.
ISLE OF HOPE'S EVESTS,
Regatta Promises ta lie the Chief
Feature of tile Day.
Isle of Hope promises to furnish the
feature of the day. The regatta of the
Isle fo Hope Yacht Club promises to be
an interesting event. It is the second at
tempt of the club on this line and prom
ises to far surpass the first. The mem
bers of the club have many friends who
are Interested in them and in the success
of their boats. Besides, to the large pro
portion of the population which knowrf
nothing about yachting the regatta otters
an excuse for somewhere to go.
Many improvements have been made at
Isle of Hope this season nnd the place is
In much better shape to accommodate the
crowd than was the case a year ago. The
pavilion has been enlarged and improved
and a large, airy dining room has been
added. The grounds have been parked and
special arrangements made for picnickers.
Commodore Tom Reynolds, who is the
leading spirit in to-day's exercises, had
the following to say on the subject yes
terday:
•We are expecting the largest crowd at
the island we have ever had, nnd wo ate
prepared' to receive them and give them
the best day's enoyment they evor had.
The yacht races are going to l>o the very
J>est ever seen around these waters, aril
Will be considered so by all who attend."
The get-ready gun wIH be fired at 10 C>
e. m., and at 11 o'clock the first class boats
will start, and then at intervals of five
minutes the other two classes will get
away.

Second Class—lmp, Runaway Girl, Lark.
Undine, Constance, Meta W. t Swallow.
Olga and Rustus.
Third Class—Fern, W. W. Osborne,
Aimee. Edith. Florence, El C'upitan
i, "About half a dozen have entered the
swimming race and all are good swim
mers. If it were not for the fact
that Mr. Reynolds ta to pre
vent the medal to the ~' r
ner of the swimming race he said he would
also enter. “I could not get up a ape*eh
to present myself with a medal,” he said,
“but I will have one made up for the first
prize in the second class yacht race.”
Roaenfeldt’s full orchesrra will be on
I the pavilion oil day, and the lovers of the
: dance can be on the go until midnight.

an elaborate dance programme, and all

reaching the island. Commencing at 9:30
o'clock, cars will leave Tenth street for
Isle of Hope every thirty minutes during
the day. leaving on the even and half
hours. There will be cars between Thun
derbolt and Isle of Hope each way every

parties out for the day can easily taken in
both places.

Firew fir L s.
Notwithstanding other attractions Tybee
is likely to be thronged this afternoon.
It will be a good day to get Into the surf,
and stay there for a time, and this will
bo the chief attraction. There will be a
grand ball at the Hotel Tybee at night,
and a display of fireworks.
The Central Railway has arranged to

SALES WERE RATHER. SLOW.
I.nek of Offering* and Hot Weather
Ivcpt Bidder* Awny,
The public sales of realty at the door
of the Court House yesterday morning
were more apathetic than they have been
in months. In the first place, the offer
ings were few in number, and not over
poweringly attractive and, in the second
place, the excessively hot weather of the
early morning kept many away.
Some of the property that had been ad
vertised for sale was not offered, the auc
tioneers sizing up the crowd's lack of en
thusiasm. noting the absence of many of
tlie regular purchasers on these occasions,
and deciding that they would jiostpone the
rciics they had contemplated until a more
auspicious occasion. v
Mr. C. H. Dorsett sold a ©ne-etory cot
tnge on Henry street, between Montgom
ery and West Broad, standing oil a iot
25 by 105 feet, to Mr. Isaac Beckett, agent,
for $790. Deputy Sheriff O’Connor sold a
lot of land on Pearl street, 50 by 83 feet,
to Mr. G. W. Alien, for SIOO. Mr. Allen is
the holder of the execution under which
the property was sold.
City Marshal John Power sold a very
large number of pieces of property, levied
on under executions issued by the city
treasurer for taxes, and paving assess
ments against the owners. Most of thi£
property was bought in by Alderman
Tiedemam, representing the city, though
Mjme of the property owners protected
their titles by themselves becoming the
purchasrs. Altogether the day was on
excetx&nglv dull one, and but poorly in*
dieative of the state of the real estate
market In Savannah, which usually finds
encouraging evidence of its strength and
solidity at three sales.
nEER SPILLEU IN A RUNAWAY.
Brewerj- Horse Made Thing.-. Lively
on Broughton .Street.
What came very rear being- a serious run
away occurred yesterday afternoon about
6 o'clock when, a horse attached to a
Georgia Brewing Association wagon, near
the Market, took fright and made a wild
dash down Barnard street, turned east
into Broughton, and continuing on his
mad career up to Whitaker street, where
a quick swerve upset the wagon and
threw the horse on its side.
Although badly (angled in the harness
the animal nutde a desperate struggle to
regain its feet and would have done so
and probably continued on its run had not
Officer Frank Wall appeared on the
scene and sat on the animal’s head until
Ihe harness could be unfastened. When
the horse finally recovered his feet It was
found that with the exception of a few
bruises he had suffered no injury. The
wagon, however, was badly smashed, and
Ihe debris of a case of botiled beer that
had been on the wagon when it was whirl
ed into Broughton street was scattered
widely over the pavement on the south
side of the street.
Frank Pitts, white, the driver, was
thrown out of the vehicle when it reached
Ihe corner of Barnard and Congress
streets. He was thrown through the
shafts and was thought at ihe time to
be badly hurt, but escaped with only a
few bruises and 6ome bad rents in his
clothes.
HEABIVG WAS POSTPONED.

Capt. C. E. Gillette returned yesterday
from New York, where he went to be
present nt the hearing for the second
time before Commissioner Shields of the
Gre ne-Gaynor conspiracy case. Capt.
Gillette returned without appearing as a
witness, the case having been postponed
from last Friday until next Tuesday.
Capt. Gillette said the postponement was
only fair, as Ihe alleged conspirators had
only had two days' notice, they being out
of town ‘when the hearing was iirst set
by Judge Brown. District Attorney Ma
rion Erwin, having gone up by steamer,
could not be notified of the postponement
until his arrival in New York. Capt. Gil

THE MORNING NEW S: WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1900.
MANY TEACHERS WILL COME.
SAVANNAH TO BE IN\ ADED BY EX
CURSION PARTIES SI N DAY.
Two Chicago Clubs, Arriving on
Special Train*. Will Spend Twen
ty-four to Thirty-six Hour* Each
Here—An. Arkansan Delegation
Will Also Arrive Saturday Might.
Other I‘nrtie* Likely to Be Heard
From To-da y—Special Kate* Ar
ranged for the \i*itor* at the Ho
tel*, but no steps Taken to Show
Them Any Attention.
Savannah’s invitation to the teachers of
the country to make this city one of their
stopping places on their way to and from
the convention of the National Educa
tional Association at Charleston next w'eek
is in a fair way to be generally accepted.
The present indications are that some 200
to 300 teachers from the West and South
will invade the city Saturday and Sunday,
and it is likely that announcements dur
ing the next day or two will increase tlis
number considerably.
Chicago will furnish the largest contin
gent. Both the Chicago Teachers’ Feder
ation and the Chicago Teachers* Club,
each travelling on special excursion
trains, have elected to come via Savannah.
The Teacher®’ Ft deration party will come
by way of Nashville, Chattanooga and At
lanta, making stops at each of these
places, end at Savananh via the
Central' of Gt*>rgia Railway at 4 p. m.
Saturday. They will remain here over
Sunday and will take their departure for
Charleston early Monday morning.
The Teachers’ Club excursion will leave
Chicago July 5, coming by way of Louis
ville, the Mammoth Cave. Nashville,
Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, and
Atlanta, arriving in Savannah at 4 o’clock
Sunday afternon. They will also remain
over Sunday and will leave for Charles
ton at noon of the next day.
In the pamphlets with which the two
club*, evidently rivals, announce their
routes Savannah is very highly si>oken of,
and if the teachers follow their pamph
lets they will be in search of monuments
and points of historic interest x ither than
for big railroad and steamship terminals,
and other majters of business moment.
Besides the two excursions from Chi
cago, Supt. Ashmore has been notified
of an excursion of Arkansas teachers to
arrive here Saturday night, also to re
main over Sunday. It is exacted that
there will be about forty in this party.
With other parties arriving from various
points, it is evident that Savannah will be
overrun by the pedagogues on Sunday.
Evidently the majority are of the femi
nine varieties, the Transportation Com
mittees of both the Chicago Clubs'are com
posed exclusively of ladies.
Supt. Ashmore has made arrangements
with the hotels to give the teachers spe
cial rates. The local teachers will not
undertake to entertain the visitors in any
way, for the reason that the latter hardly
expect this, as they ore simply touring the
country and stopping at various places for
their own edification. Besides, many of
the local teachers have left the city since
the closing of the schools. The visitors
will have the ready aid of citizens general
ly in furnishing them information, as to
points of interest. Besides the ante-con
vention crowds. It is expected that large
numbers will stop at Savannah on their
return from the convention.
The Educational Association begins its
work Jvt*y 7, and continues until July 13.
but the general meetings Iwhich are of
chief interest, do not begin until Tuesday.
July 10. Supt. Ashmore and prohably
twelve or fifteen of the Savannah teachers,
will attend the convention.

a representative of Zerubbabel Lodge of
Masons, B. J. Apple.
A large number of the members of
Zerubbabel Lodge and others # of the Ma
sonic Fraternity attended.
The many and handsome floral offer
ings testified to the popularity of the de
ceased in a large circle of friends.

DAMAGES FOR HIS IXJIRIE9.
George Lehwald Recover* a $250
Verdict \gninnt tbc Central.
George Lehwald was awarded a verdict
for $250 damages against the Central of
Georgia Railway Company by a Jury in
the City Court yesterday. The plaintiff
sued for $2,500, for personal injuries in
curred by him and alleged to be due to
the negligence of the defendant in the
operation of its engines. 4
It was alleged in the petition and
shown on the stand yesterday, by the
evidence of the plaintiff’s witnesses, that
on March 14, of the present year, he was
driving in a buggy along the wharves of
the Ocean Steamship Company and
about to cross a track of the company on
River street. The approach to the street
was by the side of a tall warehouse,
which prevented thfc. plaintiff from seeing
anything coming up the track. The
horse he was driving was alleged to be
gentle and not easily frightened.
However, as Lehwald started across the
street one of the engines of the defend
ant company approached from the di
rection of that part of the wharves con
cealed from sight by the warehouse,
without ringing a bell, blowing a whis
tle, or giving other notive to those on
or near the track. So sudden was the
appearance of the engine that Lehwald’s
horse became frightened and ran away,
throwing him out of the buggy. It the
fall his left arm and one of the fingers
of his left hand were broken, he suffer
ed a number of cuts and contusions on
the head and other painful injuries,
which for a time kept him confined to
his bed and caused him great physical
suffering.
For the personal injuries, his detention
from business and the expenses he had
to incur for medical and other attend
ance the plaintiff estimated his damages
at $2,500. The case was conducted for
the plaintiff by Mr. W. W r . Osborne and
for the defendant by Mr. T. Mayhew
Cunningham, Jr. While the jury probab
ly came to the conclusion that the de
fendant was to some extent negligent, in
not having a watchman at the scene of
the accident and in the engineer failing
to give warning by bell or whistle of the
approach of his engine, it somewhat re
duced the damages to which the plain
tiff thought himself entitled.
XV ANTED FAY AS TICKET.
Refusal to l*ay Labor Union Watch
man Causing: Trouble.
There is a dissension in the ranks of
the Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Union, No.
250, according to the story of L. L. Black,
one of the members, that threatens to re
sult in a general split in the ranks.
Black’s story is to the effect that at the
meeting of the union last night, he asked
for $43 which he said was due him for
picket duty performed during the time
between May 1 %nd 28. This duty was to
keep watch on the union men and report
to the president of the executive board, all
who went to work without the permission
of the officers of the union. When he de
manded the money due for this work, he
was told that nothing was <?ue him., as
only two of the pickets were to be paid,
and he was not one of them. Then, he fur
ther claims, when he asked for a report
of the finance® of the union, and especially
an account of the moneys that had been
collected in Augusta by one of the officers
of the union, he was not only refused a
report, but was declared out of order, and
upon his refusing to recognize the ruling
of the chair, was fined three times.
Black says he was not out of order, and
that under the by-laws of the union he
had a right to ask for a report of the
finances. He asys further that not only
is he dissatisfied with the condition of the
organization.but that there are a number
of others who share this dissatisfaction,
and it is the intention of these men, whose
name sand addresses he has, to write to
the national headquarters of the organiza
tion in Philadelphia and request that a
representative of the order be sent here
to look into maiters.

Savannah at 8:05 o’clock and may be pur
chased and used by citizens generally, as
well as by those having some official con
nection with the reunion and Its attend
ant events.
These arrangements were announced at
the meeting of the Confederate Veterans’
Association at Confederate Hall last night.
It is stated that between sixty and sev
enty-five veterans from the two camps In
Savannah will attend the reunion, the as
sociation pending between thirty-five and
forty and McLaws’ Camp between thirty
and thirty-five. Most of these will be ac
companied by some members of their fam
ilies, and the presence of a number of
young women, who are likely to be of the
party, will render the trip to the reunion
city more pleasant and agreeable than
would otherwise be the case.
The special train is a convenience that
will add much to the pleasure of the trip
and, in consequence, to the number of
those who will make it. Its direction will
be controlled largely by the excursionists
from Savannah, thus enabling them to
leave Waycross at the time most conven
ient to them, and to reach Savannah at a
reasonable hour.
The veterans will not march to the de
pot in a body, but will assemble at the
train. It is probable that the SavAnah
veterans will all parade together in Way
cross.
The Savannah Cadets, who will act as
military escort to the veterans on the trip
and during the parade, will assemble at
the armory of the First Regiment at 5:45
o'clock and march thence to the depot.
The Cadets will wear blue uniforms, blue
shirts, campaign hats and leggins. The
company will be under the command rf
Capt. J. T. West. Both company subal
terns. Lieut. J. C. Tyson and Lieut. George
H. Richter, will accompany the Cadets.
The Confederate Veterans Association
elected last night one new member, E. M.
Anderson, and the applications of two eth
ers were read. These latter applications
passed their first reading and were re
ferred to a committee for investigation of
the applicants’ war records and report to
the next meeting of the association.
The secretary read a communication
from Miss Gertrude Agnes Byers, a mem
ber of the Monument Committee of the
Gen. Dabney H. Maury Chapter of Daugh
ters of the Confederacy of Philadelphia.
The letter was one of a number sent out
to camps of Confederate veterans, request
ing from each member a donation of five
cents, for the purpose of aiding in building
a monument to the memory of the Confed
erate dead, who sleep in the National Cem
etery at Philadelphia.
The letter recites that during the war
between the states 224 Confederate pris
oners of the war died in or near the city
in which the chapter is located. ‘Some six
or seven years ago the bodies of these
gallant soldiers were collected and re-in
terred in the National Cemetery by the
Grand Army of the Republic- Since that
time.the chapter of the Daughters have
been decorating these graves on each Me
morial Day wiih wreaths of laurel, ties
with the Confederate colors.
*1 he letter continues: “It is now our
desire to erect a monument tc these brave
men and have for that purpose several
hundred dollars, one hundred of which has
been voluntary and unsolicited donations
from the Grand Army and other North
erners.”
The camp decided unanimously to accede
to the request, and the members present
at the meeting turned over the small do
nation that was asked to the treasurer.
Others who were not present may remit
5 cents each to him, designating the pur
pose for which it is Intended. While the
individual subscriptions are thus unim
portant, they will make in the aggregate
a very large sum, quite suffleinet to
raise such a monument as Is desired to
the memory of this body of Confederate
dead, sleeping in Northern soli. Treas
urer John 9. Haines will be glad, there
fore, to receive the subscriptions.

it was carried on the preceding day, to the

TRYING TO EVICT TEEPLE.
Owner* of Premise* He Lease*
Claims He Hasn’t Paid Rent.
Judge Falligant and a jury in the Su
perior Court began yesterday afternoon
the consideration of the eviction proceed
ings instituted by Eva Belle Wimpy and
Mary T. Houser against J. W. Teeple to
compel his relinquishment of the property
on Broughton and Montgomery streets,
where the defendant has conducted a
furniture business for some years.
The affidavit supporting the disposses
sory warrant that forms the basis of the
eviction proceedings avers that the de
fendant agreed in his lease with the own
ers of the property that*he would pay
a monthly rental of SSO and that he fail
ed to pay this rental for the months of
November and December of last year.
When \this failure to comply with the
conditions of the lease is alleged to have
occurred, the plaintiffs say they notified
the defendant that they desired to ter
minate the lease and instructed him to
vacate.
This he refused to do and contends that
he has violated none of the conditions or
his contract. The case was not con
cluded. and will be taken up again to
morrow morning.
Teeple has recently had a good deal of
trouble, springing from his suretyship up
on the bond of A. H. Moore, the default
ing manager of the Empire Feed and Mill
ing Company, who is under indictment in
the Supi rior court for (he crime of forgery.
The bond of Moore has been forfeited and
an execution issued against him and his
sureties. A number of efforts made by
Teeple to defeat the sale of his stock of
goods under the execution have been Suc
cessful, at least, in delaying it. The prop
erty had been advertised for sale by the
sheriff at the public sales of yesterday,
but again the sale was delayed. This time
it was not stopped by reason of judicial
process, and it may be that a settlement
of the execution Is in prospect.
JnilKinent Against Defendant*.
There being no issuable defense filed by
the defendants, judgment was taken in
favor of the plaintiffs in the case of Hop
kins, Dwight & Cos. against Gilliam &
Cos. and Louis M. LeHardy, in the City
Court yesterday. The judgment is upon
a promissory note executed in 1896, and is
for $2,447.06, principal, $013.34 interest, and
$17.50 costs of court.
