10 AN OLD TIME FOURTH OF JULY. SAVANNAH WILL CELEBRATE THE DAY IN THE GOOD OLD STYLE. The Day to Bo More Generally Ob nerved Tlinn During Any Year Since the War-Pretty Mach Every tiling AY ill Be Cloned Ip and Near ly Everybody IVill* Go Out of Town— Chatham* AVill Open tlie Day With a Snlnte at the I'arade Ground—Mr. Rourkr Will Hold 111* •Lftiial Exercise*— I The Isle of Hope Reitatta Will Attract Lnre Crowds—Special Schedules for tlie Day Arranged by Hotl* Steam and Electric Lines—Hnaaors Will Prac tice at Avondale. Ijke the Democratic party. Savannah 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. •'The entries are as follows: “First Class—Vida, Ala, Julia D., Vivid, Erie R.. and Bobbie. 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. Barbee & Bandy will spread themselves on the dinner and supper. Messrs. Deitz Clarke and Bari Dasher have arranged an elaborate dance programme, and all attending may be assured an enjoyable outing. The yacht Leader will follow the ! races, and will leave the pavilion at 11:20 o’clock. The crowds will have no difficulty in 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 hour during the afternoon. A ten minute schedule will be run from the city to Thunderbolt during the entire day, bo that parties out for the day can easily taken in both places. CROWDS WILL SEEK TYBEE. Good Schedules, a Grand Ball and 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 carry large crowds to the island. Trains will leave the city at 7 a. m., 9 a. m., 11:30 a. m., 1:30 p. m., 3:30 p. m., 5:25 p. m., 6:30 p. m., 8:50 p. m., and 11:10 p. m. Returning, the trains will leave Tybee at 6 a. m., 8 a. m., 10:10 a. m., 12:30 p. m., 2:30 p. m., 5:15 p. m., 7:40 p. m., 10 p. m., and 11:59 p. m. The Tybee trains are run by city time. 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. Conspirator* (liven Farther Time by Jailge llroyvn. 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 lette has been summoned as a witness, and will leave for New York again In a few days. FI %EH A L OF MISS KVA NORTON. The Sorrier* nt < liiirch and Cotuo lory Largely Attended.

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. MASONS SAID THE LAST HITES. Mnny Attended the Funeral of Sir. Henry t'oleiiian.

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. ’MIDST PALMS AND HOSES.

Train to Leave Plant System Depot at O’clock—Announcement* of Arrn ngeinent* for tlie Trip Made at Confederate Veteran* A**nocia tino Meeting;—Bct%veen Sixty and Seventy-live .Member* of the Two Camp* Expected to Go—Cadet* W ill Mareh From Armory to Train. Veteran* Contributed to Monu ment to Confederate Dead in V*liil adelphia. \ A special train, carrying the delega tions from the Savannah camps of veter ans and from those of the surrounding counties, the members of the Savannah Cadets and others who will attend the reunion of the South Georgia brigade of veterans at Waycross, will leave the Plant System depot at 6:30 o’clock this morning. The train will he run on city time and will leave the depot ten minutes later than the regular early morning train to Waycross. The time of Its departure from Waycross Will be announced during the festivities in honor of the boys in gray and will be dependent largely upon their convenience. The expectation is, however. that it will leave about 7 o’- clock. tickets that will be sold will be good not only on the special, but also on the regular train leaving 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. I'l VUIAL OF CHARLTON H. WAY. Ill* Hotly Committed to the Earth In Lnnrel Grove Cemetery. The funeral of Ihe late Col. Charlton H. Way took place in Laurel Grove Cem etery at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. It was attended only by a few close friends of Col. Way and his family, the effort being made to have it as private and un ostentatious as possible. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. James Y. Fair, pastor of the Inde pendent Presbyterian Church. The body was removed directly from the undertak ing establishment of W. T. Dixon, where it was carried on the preceding day, to the grave in Laurel Grove. There it was com mitted to earth.

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.
