10 TWO KILLED BY A PUSHER. ROBERT TILTON Itl \ OVER BY A PLANT SYSTEM ENGINE.

V O. Tilton and the Onl> Support of His Fumil>. Two fatal accidents by one locomotive, Occurring within a few minutes of rach Other, is the record made by a switch <n- of the Plant System in the Savan nah yards la t night Robert L. Tilton, white, 20 years of age employed as car real clerk, and Julius Jenkins, < o.ored, employed as a tank under in the yaid, are the fatali ies. Tilton was removed to the home of his parents cn Second s : reet, where he sur vived about two hours. Jenkins was tak #n to the passenger sh< and after his inju ries had been at enued to. ler the pur pose of sending him to the Plant System Hospital at Waycross, but died 01 the platform at the thed about 11 o clock. No intelligent statement of the accident coui<a be obtained from the Plant Sys tem employes at the yards. The night yardmaster said he did not know the name of the engineer nor the number of the engine. His statement was that the men were found lying on the ground on different tracks after the engine bad passed, and that no one knew how the Occident occurred. The accident was soon known at the company’s offices, however, and the po lice were telephoned for ambulances. Med ical assistance was summoned and Hr. J. W. Daniel responded and took charge of the injured men in conjunction with Dr. Lee of the Plant System Hospital De partment. Both the white and colored ambulances were sent from the barracks. As aeon as the i>hysicians arrived they *aw that young Tilton’s wounds were fatal. He was given such temporary re bel as was possible, and was then remov ed to the home of his parents, at No. 6 Second street, east, where he was attend ed. by Dr. Daniel. "Jenkins, whose injuries appeared to be teas serious, was removed to the passen ger shed and was to be taken to the Plant System Hospital at Waycross in charge of Dr. Lee. His right foot was crushed, only the heel being left, and there was a severe contusion of the skull, the seriousness of which could not be as certained immediately. It was thought likely also that there were internal in juries. These are supposed to have caus ed his death in conjunction with the frac ture of the skull. As near as could be learned, the two accidents occurred somewhat in this man ner: Young Tilton was at his work, checking cars in the yard, about oppo site the foot of Huntingdon street. His attention is supposed to have been at tracted by a passing train, and that with the noise of the train he failed to hear the pusher coming up behind him. He was run over and frightfully mangled, both legs being crushed near the body and the abdomen torn. The Jolting of the engine attracted the attention of the the engineer. \ As soon as he discovered the wounded man and his frightful condition, he sum moned assistance, and then ran his en gine to the shed, where he gave notice of the accident and obtained a cot, upon which to transport Tilton to the shed. In returning with the cot he ran into Jen kins, who was standing on the track, pear the scene of the first accident, knocking him over and inflicting injuries which later proved fatal. The engineer is ald to have fainted when he saw the double catastrophe which he had wrought. After receiving temporary attention from Drs. Daniel and Lee at the scene of the accident!! Tilton was placed in the white ambulance and removed to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N B. Tilton, on Second street, where he died about 11:30 o'clock. Young Tilton. though frightfully wounded, remained conscious to the last. His right leg was crushed near the hip, the left leg crushed between the knee and the hip and the abdominal cavity torn open. The shock was so great that he experienced no pain, and was able to converse rationally and intelligently with his relatives, who surrounded his bedside up to a few moments before his death. The physicians saw that the cas ■ was hopeless and so informed the family. His death was a great shock to his par ents and relatives generally, of whom there are a number in the city. The de ceased was quite small for his age. but is said to have been a very manly voting (fellow. He was a grandson of M b N. O. Tilton, only a few doors from the home of his afflicted and bereaved son. The death of young Tilton is n sad one. He was a bright young fellow end the only support of his family. His father, -3lr. N. B. Tilton, was paralyzed some months ago. and the family was dependent upon the efforts of the son. He had been employed at the Plant System yards for the last several months as sea! clerk or car checker, his work being at night. Coroner Goette made a partial investi gation of the dual accident la6t night. He will continue his investigation to-day and will doubtless hold an inquest this afternoon. • STEPHEN J. HI. BAKER DEAD. He Died Last Night After n Long , Illness. Mr. Stephen J. M Baker died at 10 o'clock last night at the residence of Mr. William N. Nichols. No. 108 Henry street, east, after on illness of several weeks. Mr. Baker was 76 years old. He had been in failing health for some time, and his death waß ,10 * unexpected. For several days it had been seen that life was fost •bbing away, and when the end came it was a peaceful release from suffering. Mr. Baker was born in Bryan county, in 3824. At the beginning of the Civil War he enlisted with the Georgia Hus pars and served throughout the four years of struggle, surrendering with Johnston’s army. He was an honorary member of the troop at the *lme of his death. He was also a member of the Confederate Veterans’ Association. Mr. Baker was the last of eight broth ers and sisters. He leaves a daughter. Mrs. William N. Nichols, with whom he lived, and one son. Mr. Mongin B. Baker, m merchant in Macon. The arrangements for the funeral had not been Completed last night. It will take place probably to-morrow, and will be attended by the Veterans and the Hus mr§. One Fare Itciniid Trip to Cincinnati Via Central of Georgia Railway. Account annual convention B. Y. r.

Probable Fatal Shooting Among Colored Excursionist*. A shooting affray that wiil doubtlew re ! suit in the death of a colored boy. Joe B. Edwards, took place early yesterday morn j ing on the steamer Alpha. Robert Holmes, colored, who is charged with the crime is held at the barracks, together with seven men and women who are charged wiy* having taken pari in a row' and fight on board the steamer that seems io have been going on when the shot that struck Edwards was fired. The Alpha left her wharf at 9 o’clock the night before with about 401 excursionists of the Second African Baptist Church for a trip to Warsaw and hack. The trip was a quiet and enjoyable one until about 2 o'clock, shortly after Thunderbolt was passed on the return, when two men got into a row over a woman, at least that's the story told by one of the boat hands as having been gathered by him from those near the man who is supposed to have fired the shot. It was pratically im possible io get a clear story of the trouble for everybody, as soon as the shot was fired, attempted to get away from the place where the report was heard, with the result that they rushed in every direction, many coming within en ace of going overboard. Capt. Strobhar and Capt. F. Henson, who were in charge of the steamer were in the wheelhouse when tht shooting oc < urred, and the boat being then in St. Augustine creek they were unable to make an investigation until the river wa> reache 1 and another man could be in trust e i with the wheel, then, with a wo man, who sail tha she had seen the man when he shot the boy, the officers went over the boat, and with the woman s aid to Identify the would-be murderer and the others who were engaged in she row r , they w- re ti< and until the boat reac h erl her wharf, shortly after 3 o’clock, when they were turned over to the police. An ambulance was summoned, and the wounded boy was taken to his home on the Thunderbolt Read. It was reported list night that he had did since being taken home, hut tip to midnight the police had t oi hr en notified. The case was call el in the Recorder's Court yesterday morning, but was postponed until this morning. DROWNING OF R. R. ZOUCKS. Hotly Found In Rosedcrr Creek Iden tified l>y 112* Father. The body found in Roscdew creek Thurs day, an account of which was published in the Morning News, was identified yes terday as that of R. R. Zoucks. The father of the drowned man and Coroner Goette went out to Montgomery early yesterday morning when Mr. Zoucks read ily identified the body as that of his son. An inquest was held, the result of which was a verdict that death was caused by accidental drowning. The body was brought ’Io the. city in the afternoon, and at 4 o’clock was buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery. The drowned man had been missing since the afternoon of July 3. He was subject to temporary abberation of mind, owing to a fall that he received several years ago. His father thinks that he started for a farm that he owns on the Waters’ road, but that instead of stopping there, he continued his walk until he came to the Vernon river and fell into it. It is thought that he must have reached, the river somewhere between White Bluff and Montgomery, the tide doubtless carrying his body to the creek in which the body was found. It was reported in the city yesterday that a physician who had seen the body, thought that the throat had been cut. The coroner stated, however, that though the body was mutilated, the marks were doubtless made by crabs, and that there was no foundation for the theory’ that death iyas other than accidental. ACCEPTED THE GROI N'D PLAN. Trustees nml Board of Education Seem to lie Getting Together. The joint committees of the Board of Education and tne Chatham Academy Trustees to consider the matter of a plan for rebuilding the Chatham Academy held a very satisfactory session yesterday af ternoon at the office of Superintendent Ashmore. The ground floor plan selected by the committee from the board at its meeting the day before, was submitted to th* Trustees’ Committee. The plan proved satisfactory to the Trustees’ Com mittee .and a general discussion followed, in which there was a free exchange of ideas as to the plan and character of the proposed building. The ground plan being agreed upon it was decided that both committees, with this plan as a basis, should proceed to work out the elevations, the results ob tained by each to be submitted and con sidered at a join't meeting to be held some time next week. All the discussion was of the most pleas ant nature and with a continuance of the spirit displayed on both sides at yester day's meeting there is reason to be'ieve that a satisfactory understanding as to a complete plan will be reached at an early, date. Both committees seem desir ous of reaching ad finite conclusion in order that the further delay’ may be as brief as possible. DRANK ICE WATER AND DIED. Overheated Switchman Killed by Heat Apoplexy. James Bird, a colored switchman, em ployed on the drill engine in the Central Railroad yard, died yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock as the result of heat apoplexy. He had been cleaning out the fire box of an engine in (he afternoon shortly before the fatal stroke, and be coming very much heated, drank a quan tity of ice water. As soon as he was taken sick a doctor was telephoned for and arrived within a few’ minutes, but could do nothing for the man, who died fifteen minutes after he became ill. Coroner Goette was summoned, but did not consider an inquest necessary’. The body will be sent via the Central to night to Augusta, which was the dead man’s home. TWO LOST THEIK LIVES. One Syrian Drowned and Another Run Over by a Train. Two Syrians, who have been making iheir headquarters in Savannah, went to Screven on the Plant System day before yesterday. During the day one of them. Mason Alctt, was drowned there. Yester day morning his companion, whose name Is A. N. Gamen, started to Screven to mail a letter giving an account of Alett’s drowning. On his way’ he was struck by a train and killed. Both men are known in Savannah. Civil Service Exam io Waycross. Mr. Harry R. Rawls, secretary of the Board of Civil Service Examiners, left yesterday for Waycross, where he will conduct the examination of a number of applicants for the position of carriers in the new free delivery system soon to be established 1n that vicinity. He will re turn to-morrow. Tetter—No ( tire. No Pay. Your druggist will refund your money If Pazo Ointment fails Jo cure you, 60c. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1900. BOOKKEEPER MORRIS WILL GO TO CARRY GOVERNMENT CHECKS TO GREENE-GAY NOR lIEVRING. The Cheek* Drawn by (apt. Carter, n DiahartiinK Officer, on the >3er ebuntft National Hank. the Gov ernment Depository fir. Morris Was Not Required to llring the Flank'll Personal Ledger* Other Bank*, Believing They Cannot Legally Be Compelled to Send Their Books. Hesitate to Do So. Correspondenee With District At torney ns to Transcripts. The Merchants National Bank has de cided to permit its personal ledger book keeper, Mr. John Morris, to attend the hearing before Commissioner Shields, up on the application made by District At torney Erwin for the removal of Greene and the Gaynors to Savannah. While the other bank's interested, the Southern Bank and the Savannah Bank and Trust Company’, have as yet reached no determination in the matter, they are of the opinion that they cannot be com pelled to send their bookkeepers and books to New’ York and, for reasons of business conveniences, they are exceedingly averse to permitting Messrs. Gather wood and O’Gorman to go and take the personal ledgers with them. Telegraphic negotia tions between the banks and District At torney Erwin were in progress yesterday and It-may be that some agreement will be reached that will permit the attend ance of the bookkeepers without their books, transcrips of the particular entries the district attorney desires to use be ing carried instead. Mr. George A. Mercer, Jr., of counsel for the Southern Bank, stated to a Morn ing News reporter, that he had made am investigation of the law’ governing the subject, and that he had been unable to find authority in the Revised Statutes for compelling the attendance of a wit ness with book® or documents, means or' a subpoena duces tecum, at a point more than 100 miles distant from his pi.ice of residence. He did not believe that the attendance of Mr. Catherwood, with the personal ledgers of the banks, could be compelled legally, and there are many reasons why the bank should and does object to its books being carried beyond Its control, and kept for an indefinite period. Mr. Horace A. Crane, vice president of the Southern Bank, stated that no con clusion had been reached. Mr. Crane said further that he had been in correspondence by wire with Mr. Erwin, seeking to ar range the matter so that a transcript of the records of accounts would be made to serve in lieu of the books themselves. Mr. Crane expected to hear from Mr. Erwin during the day. It is probable that the Southern Bank and the Savannah Bank and Trust Company will act to gether in the matter, and that the tele gram from Mr. Erwin will conclude their determination. Mr. Morris will leave on the Kansas City for New York at 1 o'clock to-mor row morning. He has not been required ro bring with him the personal ledgers of the bank, but only the checks signed by Capt. Carter as disbursing officer for this district. The Merchants National Bank is the United States depository in this city, and the official account upon which'Cap*. Carter drew was there k. pt. Checks of this character are not returned to the drawer, hut are retained by the bank, so that all of Capt. dis bursements during the time he was in chargu here can be readily shown by an inspection of the chocks he drew. For the reason that it was not required to send its books, the Merchants National is in a position considerably more com fortable tfftm that of the two other banks. Then, too. it is the government depository and presumably not unduly anxious to offend the powers that be. It is probable that these two reasons united to make possible the attendance of Mr. Morris at the hearing. Neither the At lantic Contracting Company, nor any of the defendants in the conspiracy case, ether than Carter, had accounts at the bank, and that Capt. Carter carried there was that of the government. As govern ment checks are not returned, but retain ed, they afford in themselves all the evi dence the district attorney is likely to need r.nd reference to the personal ledg ers is not necessary. It was in the two other banks that the accounts of the alleged conspirators and of the- Atlantic Contracting Company were kept. The purpose Is to show what became of the money drawn from the Merchants National B?nk by government checks. It is understood that the personal ledger accounts of alleged conspira tors will demonstrate the fact that an im mediate and amicable division was always made. Messrs. Johnson and Moxey .are quoted as saying that evidence ac cumulated by them in th ir inspection of the books of the Savannah banks is suf ficient to tear away the last rag of faith that anyone trtay l ave retained in the innocence of the defendants. There is a current belief that District Attorney Erwin doesn't greatly care whether the witnesses he has summoned app> ar at the hearing or not It is thought that he has sufficient evidence of the same character, coilectcd from the N w York banks and sub-treasury, to ni ike cut a prims facie case, at least, agains the defendants, and that the evidence of Messrs. Morris. Catherwcod and O’Gor man is not ready essential. Those who hold to this belief think that the district attorney merely wanted to demonstrate that he had used all proper means in his power to secure the attend ance of witnesses and thus be in a posi tion to introduce secondary of the facts he desires to prove. If the understanding between Mr. Er win and the bank officials here is reached, permitting the attendance of the personal ledger bookkeepers of the banks without their books, but with transcrips of the particular entries desired, it will end all disagreement and permit the banks to comply with the government subpoenas, without injury or inconvenience to their business interests. MORE BY WORDS THAN DEEDS. The Shirt Sleet e Brigade Not Re liinrknlilc for It* Number*. The agitation for the "Shirt Sleeves Brigade," instituted by the Morning News, has been the subject of much approving comment in the last few days. The ap proval has been manifested, however, by words rather than by deeds' and but a comparative few have had the courage to throw off their coats and the trammels of custom at the same time. Nowhere is there any evidence of a feel ing of dissent from the proposition that it is all right for < man, otherwise suitably attired, to go without his coat. A negli gee shirt, a neatly-lltting pair of trousers and a belt are conceded to be the essen tials of outward wear for a man during the summer season. But very few have manifested their faith by their works, awaiting in eagerness th* appearance on the streets of some considerable number of their brethren before they will them selves take the plunge from custom and caloric to freedom a fid comfort. It Is evident that the originators of the project are not working the sJh< me for anything like what it is worth an) that it remains for some benevolently inclined individual, anxious to promote the health and happiness of his fellow men, to get up an agreement and circulate it for sig natures. A large number could undoubt i#dly be secured without any trouble TEACHERS ARE ON THE WAY. First Delegation From Chicago to Arrive To-night. The first detachment of the Chicago teachers, whlcn will stop over in Savan nah enroute to the convention of the Na tional Educational Association at Charleston, will reach the city at 7 o’clock to-night by the Atlanta train. This party numbers forty-five and consists of members of (he Chicago Teachers’ Feder ation. They will spend Sunday in the city, and will leave for Charleston Mon day morning. The Chicago Teachers’ Club, accom panied by a Wisconsin delegation, will reach the city in a special of six sleepers Sunday morning. They will spend the day here and leave for Charleston Mon day at noon. An Arkansas party is also expected and there may be small parties from other states. No arrangements have been made to show’ the teachers any special attenti<*n here. The Central Railroad is having printed and will distribute on the train pamphlets* containing information about Savannah and a list of places of interest which the teachers are likely to desire to visit. Special rates for the visitors have been secured from the hotels, and a special rate will be offered by the Central to Tvbee for those who desire to make (hat trip. Supt. Ashmore spent some time yester day with District Passenger Agent Fred J. Robinson of the Central in preparing a schedule of information concerning Sa vannah to be printed and distributed among the teachers. Sup(. Ashmore said ♦ hat he had arranged for special rates at the hotels and conferred with the rail road men as to arrangements and infor mation. As the teachers are simply sight seeing, he did not feel (hat the local teachers and citizens were called upon to go to any special effort or expense for their entertainment. This has not been the case at other places where Mr. Ash more has accompanied such excursions, and he does not think the visiting teach ers will expect it here. ENTITLED TO THE PREMISES. Jury in Eviction Case Fonml in Fa vor of tlie Defendant. The trial of the case of Eva Belle Wimpy and Mary Houser against J. W. Teeple was concluded in the Superior Court yes terday morning, the jury rendering a ver dict in favor of the defendant. The jury found that the defendant had not violated his contract of lease with the plaintiffs and was entitled to retain possession of the premises. The plaintiffs had sworn out a dis pos sessory warrant against the defendant, re citing that he had leased from them the store and premises used by him in the con duct of the furniture business at an agreed yearly rental, which w’as to be. paid in monthly instalments; that he had defaulted in the payment of two of these instalments, and, having thus violated the conditions of the lease, had been notified to yield possession of the premises. This Mr. Teeple had refused to do. The defendant’s answer to the petition averred that he had not violated any term of the contract. On the contrary, he said, he had entered into a contract with the agent of the plaintiffs to rebuild the store, which had been destroyed by fire, for the sum of $1,700, of which amount he had only been paid $1,200. This left the plain tiffs still SSOO in his debt and for that reason he had refused to pay the monthly instalments of rent as they be da me due. Mr. \V. W. Osborne concluded his argu ment to the court and jury yesterday morning, on behalf of the defendant, and Mr. W. C. Hartridge concluded for the plaintiff. Judge Failigant charged the jury and it retired, to bring in a verdict for the defendant. Since the suit was first instituted the defendant has refused to pay other instal ments of rent as they became due, and there is now due an amount in excess of the SSOO which he claims the plaintiffs owe him for the rebuilding of the premises. It is understood that the plaintiffs will be tendered the amount of this excess only and that in case the tender is refused an other action at law will JL>e necessary to collect the rent. RICE PROSPECTS FINE. Crop ir Splendid Condition and the Outlook Very Satisfactory. The prospects for the rice crop are very llattering at present. All reports from the planters are to the effect that the crop is in line condition with every indication of a good yield. Most of the planters now' have the harvest water on. "The season has been a splendid one," e-aid a gentleman yesterday who keeps in close touch with the rice planters. "The excessive rains have made the crop a rath er expensive one because of the extra work required in keeping down the grass, but this has been accomplished and the crop is in excellent condition. There has been no trouble this year with maggots or other pests. The acreage in this territory Ms about the same as last year, about 14,000 acres. With no setback the planters will begin harvesting the early crop about Aug. 20." It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and if the trouble in China keeps up, as there is every indication that it will, the probabilities are that China and Japan will keep all their rice at home this year, which will mean a good demand and high prices for American rice. GOLF TO I HN AMENT PIT OFF. Tlie Small Number of Entries Caused Pont pone men t. There will be no tournament of the Sa vannah Golf Club this afternoon, as has been the case for the last two Saturdays. So many of the members of the club are absent from the city that the attendance at the tournaments has been small and the entries few in number, and for this reason the Green Committee has decided to postpone that of this afternoon. It is possible that the very warm weath er has helped in producing the small num ber of entries at the tournaments, serving to dampen the enthusiasm, as it has cer tainly dampened the collars, even of the golflacs. At any rate th- tournament cf tihs afternoon will be omitted and the se ries will not be resumed until there are sufficient players In the city to justify the club in offering the medal that is contest ed for at each of these events. WATERMELON SEASON IS ON. Hundred* of Carload* of the Melon* Pan* Dally Through Savannah. The watermelon crop is now being moved into and through Savannah in constantly increasing volume. Something like 100 cars a day are being brought into the city by the Plant System, either to find their ultimate destination here or to be shipped anew' to other markets. The Georgia and Alabama is handling about thirty-five cars a day* and the Cen tral is bringing many cars of thie dis tinctively Georgia product Into Savannah. Many carload? of melons remain here, for Savannah Is fond of them, but of course, very much greater quantities go on to the cities of the North and East. Th? Ocean Steamship Company and the Mer chants’ and Miners’ Line carry thousands to N. iv York. Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore.

The Hottest Day of the Near in Sa vannah ly Five Degrees—lt Was Cool Here at Night Though Com pared With Other Cities—Angus tan* Roasted Y\ ith Mercury at 92 Degrees at .S O'clock Hot All Over the Country—No Change in Temperature Predicted for To- Day. Under a fiery sky that was untempered by either cloud or breeze, Savannah yes terday experienced the hottest day of the present season. From a comparatively comfortable tem perature of 76 degrees at 6 o’clock in the morning, mercury gradually Climbed, minute by minute, and hour by hour, un til at 1:45, it reached the maximum of the day, 98 degrees. There was but a slight variation from this point until 3 o'clock, when there was a gradual fall. At 8 o'clock last night, when the official record was taken, apd under (he influ ence of a most welcome southern breeze, the record was 86 dVgrees, and it went still lower during the night. The maximum temperature for the same day last year was only 90 degrees, and only twice during that month was yes terday’s record overreached, and then not until well along toward the end of the mouth, when 9S was registered twice. While it w’as hot in Savannah it was a good deal hotter elsewhere. At 8 o’clock at night, when mercury stood at 86 de grees here, it was 9u degrees in Philadel phia, 88 in Washington, 90 in Raleigh, 92 in Augusta end out in the West through Western Kansas and in the Dakotas mer cury was up in the 90s. Kansas City had the same temperature at 8 o’clock as Sa vannah.. Savannah is getting now what the cities further north have been hav ing several days. The state forecast for today is for continued warm and partly cloudy weather for to-morrow the same prediction is made Light to fresh south winds may be expected. OFFICERS OF THREE LODGES. Public Installation Ceremonies at Odd Fellows Hall. An interesting ceremony took place last night at Odd Fellows’ Hall in the public installation of the recently elected offi cers of Ruth, DeKalb, and Golden Rule lodges of Odd Fellows, while the pro gramme of music, resications and readings which was also given during the evening, was an excellent one, and greatly enjoyed by the audience. The officers who conducted the installa tion ceremonies were Deputy Grand Mas ter Henry McAlpin, representing the Grand Master; Henry Kolshorn, Grand Warden; K. J. Davant, Grand Marshall; C. £. Stanton, Grand Guardian; C. H. Dorset!. Grand Treasurer, and W. C. Mc- Intyre, Grand Secretary. Ins floor of the hall was arranged with stations in conformity with a lodge room, and the stations were occupied by the act ing grand officers. Grand Marshall Da vant pres- nted before the Grand Master the officers-elect of the three suborddin-are lodges, after they had been examined in an ante-room as to their fitness for the posi tions. After the Grand Master had given to each officer the solemn and impressive charge of his office, he was conducted to his station by the Grand Marshal. At the conclusion of this ceremony, and after several musical numbers on the programme, Air. Robert L. Golding de livered on address on “Old Fellowship," the tenets, teachings, and work of the or der. "Odd Fellowship,” he said, "which is well named, was founded with the object and design of making men better, and of linking them in an indissoluble chain of friendship, and bringing to them a prac tical realization that God has made us all brothers, and as such, dependent upon one another for that love, friendship, and truth which form the links with which Odd Fellows are bound.” Mr. (folding spoke further of the les sons that might be learned from the pre cepts of Odd Fellowship, and closed by raying that, "with the trinity, friendship, love and truth, the insignia of the order, one is prepared to battle with the world, to overcome its temptations, avoid its snares, and so live that at last men who have seen tis tend the sick, feed the hun gry, and clothe the naked, shall rise up and call us blessed.” The programme of music and recitations was: "In Old Madrid,” cornet solo, by Mr. G. L. Kayton. "Angel's Serenade" (Braga), violin duet, by Messrs, Wiegand and Harms. A selection from "David Copperfield,” Mr A. B. Green. Ballad, Mr. John Banks. Recitation, Miss Wilenskl.

The Sailing Committee of the Isle of Hope Yacht C'.ub will meet at Isle of Hope at 5 o’clock this afternoon for the purpose of awarding the prizes to the suc cessful contestants in the regatta of July 4. The committee says that the announce ment made ip yesterday’s Morning News at the instance of Mr. C. B. Westcott, to the effect that the yacht Georgiana, own ed by Mr. Henry Backus, had been re tired from the first place, owing (o a re measurement, was unauthorized. ''There has been no official remeasure ment,” said Mr. W. W. Fretwell of the Judges’ Committee yesterday, "and what is more, there will be none. The rules of the club require a protest (o be filed with in twenty-four hours of the close of the race, and Mr. Westcott has filed no sueh pro(est. He had no more authority to take a measurement of Mr. Backus' yacht, notwithstanding he had the latter gentleman’s permission, than an outsider would have had. This act was not au thorized by the committee, and the meas urement was entirely unofficial. The prizes will be awarded as already an nounced in the Morning News, unless some error should be found in the calcu lations of time.” Mr. Fretwell said that w’hlle there ia some question whether Mr. Backus’ yacht should be permitted to enter the second class on account of her build be ing different from the other yachts, the committee permitted the entry of the Georgiana in order to get as many desir able yachts into the race as possible. If any one had any objections to make the protest should have been filed before hand. he said. Commodore T. P. Reynolds, who is also a member of the Sailing Committee, stat ed yesterday that Mr. Westcott’s yacht, the Meta W., wculd not be awarded'the first prize, and that furthermore the com mittee would place its condemnation upon Mr. Westcott’s action in the matter. "If Mr. Westcott thinks so much of the Meta W.,” said Mr. Reynolds, "I will give him a race any time he wants it with the Constance for any sum he may name, from SIOO to $500.” it w’as reported that Mr. Westcott’s anxiety to have the Meta W. assigned to the first place in the second class was because of a large sum of money which had been wagered upon his boat, but this is only hearsay. IN SUPERINTENDENT’S CONTROL. Brasses to Remain With Him Until Ownership Is Decided. By agreement of counsel an order was passed in the Superior Court yesterday, by which the temporary injunction against the Superintendent of Police and other*, prohibiting the removal of the brasses claimed by the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, and also by William Schroeder. is continued in force. The order further provides that the brasses shall continue in the possession of the superintendent, and shall not be subject to the inspection of any of the various parties at interest. The parties consent that the case shall be submitted to a jury at the present term of the court, thus avoiding the delay that would have followed had it been permitted to take its regular course. Didn't Know How He Got It. Charles West, colored, was arresled las: n’ght by Patrolman T. C. Murphy, who charges him with having in Ills possession a bieye'e which he offered for sale at a ridiculously low price, and of which he could give no satisfactory account. The wheel Is held at the barracks. The pris oner will be given, by the Recorder this morning, an opportunity of explaining how it came into his possession. There were a few other arrests but the charges were of a minor character. Sunday Trips to Brnnnwfek Via Plant System SI.OO.
