10 FOURTH QUIETLY CELEBRATED SAVANNAH OBSERVED THE DAY 1% PROPER STY LE. Hu-*lne*n Censed for the Time Being And Everybody Sought the Resort* or Remained Quietly nt Home. Clinthnm Artillery Opened the I)y YYItJi a Solute of Forty-seven Cion* and Mr. John Rourke Held 111* Annual Celebration—Tybee, l*le of Hope, Thunderbolt and Lincoln Park All Had Rig Crowd*—Fire work a a New Feature of the liny In Savannah. “The Glorious Fourth” was celebrated In proper style in Savannah yesterday, that Is. if everybody’s turning loose busi ness and seeking recreation and cooling (breezes can be called n proper celebration. At least it was a very sensible way to cel ebrate the Fourth, with the thermometer above 90, and there was a sufficient amour.! of gunpow’der burned to save the people of Savannah from the charge of any lack of patriotism. The Chatham Artillery began the day ehortly after 6 o’clock, by firing forty seven guns, one for each state, in the military parade ground. There was a very creditable turnout of the battery for the early morning hour, end the salute was fired In good style. The forty-seven ports sounded at the rate of one every fifteen seconds, and as this is the regula tion time, Capt. Walker had reason to feel satisfied with the work of his men. The salute was fired with the old Wash ington guns, the valued possessions of the Chathams, and part of the spoil from the British at the surrender of Yorktown. Next year Capt. Walker hopes that the battery will be able to fire the salute with the latest modern guns lor light artillery, and application having been made to Gov. Candler for the guns of which the bat tery has* so long stood in need. Mr. John Rourke maintained the tradi- ♦ions of the past, and celebrated the day In his usual style at his foundry, it Hay and East Broad streets. Arrayed as Un cle Sam, whom he is said to closely resem ble, Mr. Rourke read the Declaration of Independence and followed this with a short speech -to his employes, telling them what a great and giorious country this Is. He then fired a salute from his canon, after which the employes and their friends joined in refreshments. The Fourth of July appearance of the city was unmistakable. Not only were all the public buildings closed, but pretty nearly all private business houses were closed also. The large wholesalers and retailers all closed, and gave their em ployes a holiday. A few of the small dealers kept open a portion of the day, but business was so light that they soon closed up also. The saloons were about the only business places which remained open the entire day, with the exception of the drug stores, and their patronage was not heavy, the thirsty people being mostly at the resorts The patronage of the eubif'rban resorts was something remarkable, even for Sa vannah. The excellent schedules arranged by the railroads were freely taken ad vantage of. Tybee drew one of the larg est crowds in its history, nearly 2.000 peo ple going down on the 3:30 train, which was run in two sections. At 10 o’clock last night there were still 2.000 people on the Island to come up on the last two trains. Isle of Hope was next in line to Tybee. and is estimated to have had in the neighborhood of 2,000 people Thun derbolt had no attractions to offer, but the ten-minute schedule furnished by the car lines was freely taken advantage of during the afternoon. The colored people were not behind in celebrating the day. With baseball games at the Bolton street park, a military affair on the parade ground in the afternoon, and sports at Lincoln Park, they had suffi cient attractions of their own. The popu larity of Lincoln Park with the colored people was never more fully evidenced and the street railway facilities on the West End Line were taxed to their utmost. A feature that deserves mention was the greatly increased use of fireworks, es pecially cannon crackers. While the ex plosion of fireworks was nothing like a Christmas Day in Savannah or a Fourth ©f July at the North, there was a rattling fire of the poppers during the day and un til 10 or 11 o’clock last night. Fireworks and Christmas have been so closely as sociated the Southern mind that the explosion of a cannon cracker upon the sultry air of a July day has something of an uncanny sound and arouso3 something like a feeling of resentment in those who feel that all the conditions of the atmos phere dispose the auditory nerves to pre fer soothing sounds. Burning gunpowder In cannon and cannon crackers is a part of the regulation Fourth of July celebra tion. however, and Savannah is getting in line In this as in other matters. The most remarkable feature of the day was the peaceful and quiet manner in which it passed off. The police had a very quiet day, with very few arrests and good order was preserved at the resorts. It was too hot to quarrel and everybody was in too good humor anyway. Doubt less there were some minor mishaps, but they wrere not of sufficient importance to attract attention. Those who thought of the matter will generally agree that General Manager Lofton of the street railway company de serves a vote of thanks for the service which he rendered the public. With de mands from every portion of the system and special service required for every out of town line the situation was so well met that there could be no ground of complaint in any quarter. The travel to Tybee. Thunderbolt, Isle of Hope and Lincoln Park all demanded extra service and all the demands were fully met. Cars were kept running until an eariy hour this morning in order to accommodate the 3ate sojourners from Tybee. Tho courts were all practically closed, though the officers of some of them w ere on hand for a part of the day. Clerk of the Superior Court, and Clerk Russell, of the City Court, bo'h sp nt a f w hours In their offices. Judge Falligont opemd court In the morning and, too. spent some time in his office, so that he mieht at tend to any orders that might require hi? signature. Generally, however, the day was a hoi day with the court officials and other represents Ives of the county in the Court House. 3,700 PBOPLB at tybee. All Trains to the Sonsliore Crowded With I'lsriirnlonlntH. ■While the Fourth of July Is always a popular day with Savannahians at the re sorts, the crowds which spent the day or a part of it out of town yesterday was exceptionally large. Quite a number had takrn advantage of the holiday to visit other parts of the state, leaving the night before, butlthe really large crowds were at Tybee and at Jsle of Hope. At T>bce the crowd that went down during the day numbered by actual count C.7UO which, together with the residents of the island and the guests at the hotel made a total of over 4,me). On one train ulonc l.snj passengers were accommodat ed, while the train that left the city nbortly after 3 o'clock, and which was divided Into two sections, took a grand total cf passengers to the number of 1.900. The railroad was prepared for the rush and handled the crowd* quickly and without confusion. The only delays that did occur, and tins, were ol mlntrea < ach were c aused by the slow ness of the people in getting on und off tu* pars. Up to U o'clock last night about one half of the passengers had returned to the city. Two ears in two sections each brought up the remainder, tbe last car l eirg scheduled to leave the island short ly after midnight. At Lie of Hope, too, the crowds w' re unusually large and taxed the capacity of the car lines to handle th°m. It is es i mat.d :hat tuhy 2.000 persons visited the i.-land during fhe day. Thunderbolt was very quiet, there was no particular attraction there and conse quently th only visitors were persons who desired to avoid the bustle and con fusion of the more popular resorts so spent a quiet afternoon at ihe Savannah Yacht Club. r.vnon unions at wilmington. Carpenter* and Joiners Spent the 11my on the Salt*. The Carpenters and Joiners Union No. 256 gave n picnic to Wilmington Island yesterday for the benefit of the organiza tion. The 6teamcr Santee which had been chartered for the occasion made three trips to the island, one from the city In the morning, and tw r o from Thunderbolt later in the day. All told the steamer carried to Wilmington about six hundred people, the crowd consisting mainly of the mem bers of the local unions and their fami lies. * The day was very pleasantly spent. An orchestra nnd a brass band were taken along and furnished music, for the dancing which was kept up throghout the day. Another popular pastime w'as swimming for which the conditions of both water and beach were excellent. While many of the picnickers took lunch baskets nlong by far the greater number patron ized the really excellent lunch counters that had been prepared for the occasion and were under the control of the Car penters and Joiners Union, and w'hlrh added not a little to the proceeds of the venture. In the afternoon a game of baseball was played between teams representing the Plumbers’ Union and that of the Carpen ters and Joiners. The game was well played, and resulted In quite a close score, being 7 to 5 In favor of the Plumbers. The batteries were, for the Plumbers, Blake nnd Bell, and for the Carpenters. Dowd and 'Mcßride. The Plumbers have a strong team, and will be glad to arrange for a game with a team from any of the local unions. Qniet With the Police. For a Fourth of July, when, according to popular Ideas patriotism and potations are correlated, if not synonymous terms, and if taken in too strong doses often leads, to trouble, the police had on ex ceedingly quiet day. Up to midnight last night only seven arrests had been made, and of these none was on a serious charge. SAVANNAH WELL REPRESENTED. Veteran*, Soldiery and Citizen* At tended Confederate Rennlon. The special train that carried the mem bers of the Confederate Veterans’ Asso ciation and McLaws’ Camp and their mil itary escort, the Savannah Cadets, to Waycross. left the Plant System depot at 6:30 o’clock yesterday morning. The train carried a very large delega tion if rom the two Savannah camps of vet erans, the Cadets had out more than forty officers and men, and the veterans were accompanied by their wives and daugh ters. Besides these there was a consid erable number of private citizens of Sa vannah, who had decided to spend their holiday in viewing the exercises and the parade of the South Georgia Brigade of the Georgia Division of the veterans, at Waycross. Miss McLaws went witn the Savannah veterans as sponser for the brigade. Miss McGlashan as sponsor for the Confederate Veterans’ Association with Miss Hu Ida McGlashan as her mold of honor, while Miss Ella Pureley was the sponsor and Miss Mabel Pursley and Mias Ella Rogers the maids of honor of Mc- Laws* Camp. The Cadets made n fine appearance as they marched to the depot and aboard the coach that had been reserved for their accommodation. The company was under the command of Capt. J. T. West. After the departure of the special train others of the veterans and citizens took later trains for Waycross, reaching there in time for the barbecue and parade. The excursion tickets that had been sold were good on the regular trains of the Plant System, as well as on the special. The* Savannah excursionists returned to the city at an early hour this morning, a bit tired and worn out by the fatigue of the trip, but nevertheless professing with one voice that they had all enjoyed it hugely. They pronounced the First Bri gade reunion a distinct success. TO INSPECT IN PORTO RICO. Florida Steamboat Inspector* Tak ing In the AVe*t Indie*. The local inspectors of steam vessels at Jacksonville, Messrs. Vogel and Spencer, passed through Savannah yesterday on their way to Washington to receive in structions prior to going to Torto Rico to inspect the steamers of the New York and Porto Rican lines and also the steam ers in Porto Rico and to license the offi cers of the vessels in Uncle Sam’s new possession. During their absence the work of the East Florida district will devolve upon Messrs. Lee and Fitzgerald, the local inspectors at Savannah. The Florida inspectors after receiving their instructions from the Treasury De portment at Washington will leave New York for Porto Rico Saturday. So far as is known this is the first time that an inspection of vessels under United States laws has been ordered in any of the recently acquired possessions of the United States, through the regular chan nels of such inspection. It is believed that no such orders have been given for Hawaii, and it is known that none have been issued for vessels at Porto Rico. It is not known whether or not the district of Porto Rico is to be added to that of Florida permanently, but this Is to be announced later when It shall be decided by the Treasury Department un der which the Inspection service is regu lated and managed. WAS A DR I’M MONO DETECTIVE. Hotly Supposed tu llnvo Ileen That of Mormon Killer. The managcr.of Hewitt’s Detective Ser vice of this city, who was in the vicinity of McDonough, shortly after the wreck there, received a letter yesterday from Manager Drummond of Drummohd's De tective Service of New York, stating that the body supposed to have been that of a Mormon elder, and the last one to be Identified, was the body of one of their operatives, Daniel C. C'arpelian, who left Macon on Ihe 111-fated train on the night of the accident. The manager of the Hewitt service learning that a vest with one of Drummond's badges attached had ben found near the wreck, reported the mat ter to the Drummond agency, and a brother of the dead man was sent to At lanta, where the body had been taken, and IdtntHled it and took it to New \"or!v for burial. Caperlian was one of the oldest and most trust;d employes of the Drummond service. Mr. Drummond was at one time h.ejfr of the government secret service.

ISLE OF HOPE YA< HTSMEX M ADE A GOOD DAY OF IT. The Wind \V* Light nnd the Racing Slow, hnt the Yacht* Were Well Handled—The Alda Won the First Prize in the First Claim—lnterest Centered In the Second Class Where the Georiginna, Mr. Backus* New Yacht, Won flic Prize—The Little Fern Hon Away From Everything in the Third Class. Tremendous Crowd* Yisited the Inland and Everybody Had n Pleas ant Time. With the exception of the light winds, which made the time longer than would otherwise have been the case, the yacht race at Isle of Hope yesterday was an entire juccees. There were a large num ber of entries, end some very ciose com petition between the owners of rival yachts which gave a lively interest to the regatta. The regatta passed off without any spe cial accident or an unpleasant event of any kind, and the members of the club have reason to congratulate themselves upon the fine day’s sport which they fur nished for themselves' and their friends. The crowds were very large, especially in the afternoon, when the people come out as fast as the cars would bring them. A large proportion of the crowd remained over during the evening, and came in on the night cars. The entries in the races, with those in charge of the yacht, were as follows: First Class—Vivid. Charlie Fretweli; Ecie R., Samuel Reynolds; Babbie, Ed ward Demere; Vida, George Ferguson; Julia D., J. T. Dawson. Second Class—Georgiana. Henry Backus: Meta W., Charles Westcott; Undine, Frank Ferguson: Imp. Ralford Falligant; Constance. T. P. Reynolds; Sea Gul!, Epping Gabbett; Olga, F. J. Askew; Run away Girl, Paschal Strong; Rastus, Will Reynolds; Florence and Marie. Third‘Class—Fern, Edith, Florence, Baby Mine and Olivette. The course for the first and second class yachts was from the pavilion to a stake boat anchored in the mouth of Joe’s Cu\ off Cabbage Island, and return, a distance of twenty miles. For the third class boats there was a shorter course of fifteen miles, which brought them up to the pavilion and back again. The starling gun was fired promptly’ at 42 o’clock. The boats got off quickly and In good order, but breeze was very light and they moved slowly. It was seen that without improvement in the breeze the race would be a long one, and this proved to he the ease. The chief interest of the regatta cen tered in the second class race in which a number of fine yachts, some of them newcomers, were entered. The fact that there had been considerably rivalry among the owners of some of these yachts in the past added zest to the race. Among these were the Georgiana, anew boat recently brought here from the West by Mr. Henry Backus, end put together here; the Meta W., Charlie Westcott’s boat, with the fam ous rolling center board; the Constantine, the dainty little y'acht recently purchased by Mr. J. J. O’Neill, and the Runaway- Girl, another uncertainty, owned by Mr. Paschal Strong. These four were expected to contend for the first honor. Th£ prize was easily taken by' Mr. Backus’ boat, the Georgiana, with the Meta W. a fair second and the Undine a very close third, being just 57 seconds behind the Meta W., the Constance coming in fourth. The third class boats, or hatteaux, were the first to show’ up In the neighborhood of the pavilion, having lo make that point twice in their course. Mr. New’ell West’s boat, the F£rn, was thr first to show' up. In fact, she made her appearance so soon and was so far ahead of the other boats of her class that the spectators thought she had been pulled out of the race. Such was not the case, however, and after tak ing the turn around the stakeboat the Fern proceeded to go over the course again. Her lead was still further increas ed on the sectond round, and she finished nearly three-quarters of an hour ahead of everything in her class. First-class, winner of first prize, Vida: 12:2:42; 3:14:55; 5:12:13; 5:19:13. It was after 5 o’clock when the larger votes began to make the finish. The Vida was the winner of the first prize, finishing 19 minutes 52 seconds, corrected time, ahead of th£ Ecle R.. the Julia I), coming in third, and the Vivid fourth. The Bab bie did not finish.

The committee in charge of the regat ta consisted of Messrs. Edward Demere, S. B. LaFar, C. JO. Fretwell, Henry Backus, E. G. McDonald, F. -J. Askew. The timers and judges were Messrs E. G. McDonald, M. A. Schwarz, W. YV. Fret well. The general verdict was that the regatta was conducted In a very satisfac tory manner. The crowd at Isle of Hope was one of the largest in its history. The people be gan coming early and kept it up all day. The residents had scores of friends out to see them and there were large numbers of picnickers throughout he grounds. After 2 o'clock every train coming out was filled to the limit and a crowd was always In waiting at the Tenth street Junction for the next train. The railroad schedule was an excellent one and was well adhered to. The majority of the people came In early, hut some three or four hundred remained for the dancing at night. The genial proprietors of the pavilion. Mssrs. Barbee & Bandy did a tremendous business and served everybody to the best of their ability, which Is saying a great deal, but the demand wns such that It was almost impossible to keep up with it.

Lula Rambo filed suit in the City Court yesterday against the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad for SIO,OOO damagf* The p aintiff is a resident of Leon county, Florida, and her cause of action is alleged to be the death of her husband, resulting, as it is claimed, from the negligence and carelessness of the defendant in failing 10 give proper attention to Its roadbed and right of way. The hu.-band of the plaintiff was the fireman of the mixed freight and passen ger train of the Florida Central and Pe ninsular that ran into a swollen creek, bridged by a trestle that failfd to sup port the train’s weight, on April 19 last. Engineer Flagg and the fireman were both killed. The wife of the engineer has al ready filed an action for damages against the road for the death of her husband, and now Ram bo’a widow seeks the same re lief. The only difference in the two cases is that the one fielde yesterday is for Just one-third the amount of damages asked by Mrs. Flagg. It is charged that the trestle and its ap proaches were carelessly, negligently and improperly constructed and infrequently inserted, a condition of affairs that must have been known to the officers of the road. At certain seasons of the year it is well understood that the creeks in the section of the country in which the trets.e is located are accustomed to rise to dan gerous hights, and to wash away treaties and bridges not built In a strong and workmanlike manned. This, it seems, was the case on the night the accident occurred. The foundations of the trestle had been undermined, and there was not sufficient strength left re maining in the structure to withstand the weight of the train. It was plunged into the waters below and the death of th* engineer and fireman immediately re sulted. The plaintiff In the case filed yesterday, ae well as In that, filed some weeks ago. is represented by Mr. C. T. Lad son of Atlanta. The other case was filed in the Superior Court, the counsel for the plaint iffs being evidently appreciative of the maxim that it is unwise to place all his eggs in one basket. FINE BALL PLAYING. Colored Team* Did Themselves Credit nt the Holton Street Park. The Bolton Street Park saw a "double header" as the ball crank terms it on July 4. The contesting -teams were the Savannah and Independent Pleasure Club. The spectators, quite a sprinking, of whom were whites, were treated to fine ball playing. By long odds the favorite player was "Shiny," the small ebon-hued left fielder of the Savannah, his hitting, fielding and base running being of the highest order. At the morning game, score by inning, was as follows: Savannah 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 o—3 I. P. C 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 0 o—4 Batteries—Savannah, Bryan and Pas ture; I. P. C., Grant, Washington and Bacon. The Savannahs won the afternoon game, with the following score: Savannah 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 I—s I. P. C 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1-3 Batteries—Savannah, Grant and Bacon; I. P. C., Dilworth and Brown.

Struck Out—By Grant, 9; by Dilworth, 10. , A gentleman, who witnessed the game, said that the ball playing was better than he had seen on the same grounds by some of the professional teams, and that many of those who spent the day out of town, might have found more pleasure at the Bolton Street Park. SAVANNAH MAN BADLY HURT. Richard YlcHiirli Serionnly Injnred in Railroad Accident in Texas. Mr. R. J. McHugh received a telegram yesterday from Houston, Tex., convey ing the sad information that his brother, Richard McHugh, a Pullman car conduc tor, had been run over in an accident, losing his right arm and right leg. A laier telegram from A. E. Vann, a broth cr-ir.-law of the injured man, stated that Mr. Arc Hugh w'as do ng as well as could be expected, and that the doctors had hepts of his recovery. The telegrams gave no particulars of the accident. Mr. McHugh was formerly in the insur ance business in Savannah and was w'ell known here.

McAlpin 5 4 5 3 4 4—25 Cunningham 4 5 4 5 5 5—28 Gordon 5 4 4 4 4 5—26 Constantine 4 4 5 3 5 4—25 Train 4 2 4 3 4 4-21 Harrison 4 4 4 0 0 3—15 Quantock 5 4 5 5 4 4—27 Smith 4 5 4 4 5 4-26 Coburn 4 3 4 33 3—20 Corbett 3 0 0 3 0 o—6 Heyward 3 0 3 2 4 0-12 Hammeran . 4 4 4 5 3 4—24 The revolver contest was at 30 yards distance. Almost every score is indica tive of skill with the weapon that is far beyond the average. The Hussars concluded their pratcice at the butts shortly after 1 o'clock. There w'ere rfereshments then for the wea ried troopers, and they were in a condition of mind and body to enjoy them. After they had satisfied the demands of the inner man, a number of the troopers to?k a run over the skirmish range, in an effort to qualify for sharpshooters’ badges and marksmen’s buttons. Some goad scores were made in this manner, but they did not form part of the contest for the troop medals. In the afternoon the troopers returned to the city nnd their armory, where they were dismissed. The day had been suc cessfully and pleasantly spent. ♦ i FISH FIT ON NOTICE, \ Fish YVarden'* Order to n Registered County Y’oter. The nation’s holiday was utilized by n number of Savannahians as an opportune time for trying their eßill with rod and line, and many fishing parties were out. Prominent among the anglers is an em ploye of the state, with office in the Court House, and his apparent enthusiasm at the prospect of u day’s sport suggested to one of his fellowr clerks the need of a document, such as Is given below', in or der to secure a successful issue to the em ploye’s efforts. The document was presented to th? county* fish warden, and that dignitary en tered at once into the spirit of the joke and signed the petition, only a<!ding after his signature, the proviso that "said fees should be paid in fish, after the day’s work, and that whiting is the sort pre ferred." It is to he supposed that the document is now carefully filed in the archives of the fish warden’s office, where it will long remain, as a clever parody on the number less licences of all sorts, and conditions which are constantly being granted to In sistent applicants: Office of Fish Warden, Savannah, Ga.

Two washer wemen actively engaged in adjoining back yards at a house in the Southside early yesterday morning were not the only ones in Savannah to wender about the ocrasicn for ihe firing of can non in the Park Extension, and the blasts of firecrackers in other parts of the city* abcut the same time. From their stand point they figured cut ihe reason for the i.oise quickly. "What de mattah—what dat?" asked cne about the time a thundering blast came from the Park. "Dat buckra man’s freedom,’’ replied the other. "Pity we can’t hab something like dat on ’mancipation day,’’ retorted the first. ON A VARIETY OF CHARGES.

A Chance for Yonng: Men. ft will be a long time before the young men, and ladies too, have a better chance than is afforded by the sale of lots on the 10th, to •accumulate money. In my' experience as a read estate dealer, I know of hundreds, who commenced in just this way ten and twenty years ago, who are in fine financial condition now. To assume a small obligation like $2.50 per month proves an Incentive to do more, that soon becomes a sure cure for expensive habits, and leads to accumula tions which come in well when the pro verbial "rainy day" rolls around, which it is sure to do.
