10 IN MEMORY OF MANASSAS. OGLETHORPES IV ILL CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARY. Parade of the Command Will Held Friday at U 0*( look—Satur day tlie Real Anniversary, tout Fri day Will Permit La river Attend ance—Ojflotliorpo* Played a CSlorl- DOK Part in the Hattie They Wilt Celebrate—War Veterans Will .Inin in the Parade—Salute at the Monu ment. Friday afternoon the Ogrlethorpe Light Infantry vx'i 11 celebrate by a parade th*' thirty-ninth anniversary of the battle of Manassas, in whi h Uie command Inau gurated a record that was gloriously up held through all th sanguinary cam paigns of the Civil War. No company that participated in that first great s.ruggle at Manassas illustrat ed the South or its native state with more impetuous or distinguished valor than the Og'lethorp-.s Entering the tight os a part of the Eighth Georgia Regi ment, of which the gallant Bartovr was the commanding officer, it was in the thick of the lighting almost from the dawn until the disordered army of the North hegah its disastrous retreat upon "Washington. Of the men who answered the call of the roll of the Oglethorpes on that historic merring, but sev-n remained uninjured when the sun went down. The others had all been wounded, more or less seriously, or had boon lift dead on the field of tattle. •Because of the memories that cluster around the day the are ac customed to celebrate it by n parade. On these occasions the war veterans of the command, who are able to do so, join the younger members in the parade, and the appearance on the streets of these oM heroee always lends to the Oglethorpes u romantic interest that appeals strongly to the citizens of Savannah. There was an inspection of the company an full dress, and under arms, in readiness tfor the parade, at the armory of the First Regiment last night. The inspection was made by 'Lieut. D. C. Barrow and Lieut. J. H. Burner, ond was most gratifying to the officers, because of the excellent condition of the arms and accoutrements, and the soldierly hearing of the men themselves that it revealed. The parade will be held on Friday In. stead of Saturday, the latter day hein.i* the real anniversary of Manassas, be cause it will enable a number of the mem bers, who are employed in the large mer cantile establishments, to appear in ranks, who would not otherwise be in a posi tion to parade with the command. The company will start from the arm ory at 6 o’clock in the evening, and will march through the principal streets of the city. In the absence of Capt. G. Arthur Gordon, who is now in Europe, the Oglethorpes will be under the com mand of Lieut. D. C. Barrow. It is expected that a dozen of the vet eran members w ill be in line, most or whom served with the command throusr the war. Others, who are not now phy sically able to undergo the fatigue inci dent to the march through the streets, wifi join the command at the armory, after it ha? been dismissed. At the armory it is probable that a sim ple collation will be served, and that the occasion will i* enlivened by anecdote end reminiscences of the good old days, recalled by the veterans from their un limited stock, and toM for the benefit of the younger members of the command. There will be no set programme, but it is difficult to get the old and the new to gether without a eeries of speeches, and there is little likelihood of nil of the vet erans escaping without a contribution to the interest or merriment of the occa- ' cion. The parade proper will end with the fir ing of a salute at the Confederate monu ment in the Park Extension, in accord ance with the invariable custom of the Oglethorpes After the salute has been fired the command will be marched to the armory. The officers of the Oglethorpes count upon having between sixty and seventy men in line during this parade in celebra tion of Manassas. Since the new' life that lias be*n breathed into the company since Capt Gordon and its present officers as- j turned command, its roll of active mem bers has steadily increased, and with the veterans, there is no reason to fear that there will not be full ranks on Friday evening. It is only on the occasions when the victory at Manassas Is celebrated that the war veterans are accustomed to lend the encouragement of their actual, bodily presence to the young men to whom they have relinquished the charge of maintain ing the prestige of the command, though on all occasions most of the veterans ex hibit the Interest they still retain and are present in spirit. FOYE AND MORRISON' UISSOUE. Mr. Foye AN ill Continue the nnslnrus in the Weed Building. The firm of Foye & Morrison, one of the bes: known firms of dry goods dealers in the city, was dissolved yesterday by mutual consent. Mr. Foye bought the interest of Mr. Morrison and will contin ue the business under the name of P. T. Foye. Mr. Morrison's future plans at* not known. Mr. Foye, will, on Sept. 1, move inlas .the new Weed building at Broughton and Bernard where he will add sev eral new* lines to his already large busi ness. Under the new management there is every reason to believe that the pros perity that has marked the business for the past years, will be continued and even increased. BII.OKEN PUT IN JAIL. I noble to Raise the Money He Toole From the Odil Fellows. John Bukcken, the defaulting secretary of Concord Lodge of o.kl Fellows, was unable to raise the sum that would have induced the lodge to withdraw its charges against him for embezzlement, and was lodged In Jail. The warrant on which lie was arrested has been turned over to the solicitor gen eral, and the case will go before the etand jury at tts next session. DR. OSBORNE IN CHARGE. Will Look After Marine Hospital Service Here. Dr. Ralston Lattlmore left for the North last night on the Kansas City on his way to Europe.

SHOT IN ELP DEFENSE. 1 Charle* Bell** l*lea for Shooting William Holme*. Charles Bril, colored, shot twice and probably fatally wounded William Holmes shortly before noon yesterday. The shoot ; ing occurred in Bell’s house in Perry lane, near West Broad street, and was ! done, Bell says, in self-defense. Patrolman Connolly of the Central Railroad, who was attracted by the shots, was the first officer to reach the scene of | the affair. He found Bell in the doorway of his house with the pistol in his hand. ! He readily surrendered berth the weapon and himself to the officer and was taken to the barracks, where he is now’ held, ! charged with assault with intent to mur der. While the policeman was making sure oT Bell, Holmes, the wounded man, was put into a hack by some of his friends and taken to the office of Dr. George M. Norton, at Jefferson street and Oglethorpe avenue, where his wounds were dressed. He was then taken to his home in Broughton lane, near Montgom ery street. Bell had fired twice, and both shots took effect, one entering the face near the mouth, ranging back into the neck, and the other had strubk lower down in the region of the collar hone. There is little hope of the man’s recovery, the doc tor said, as either wound may prove fa tal. When seen about the shooting. Bell said that Ho mes had entered his house and started a quarrel, and that when he was shot he was advancing on him w’ith a heavy hammer head with the evident in tention of attacking him. No report that Holmes was dead had been received at the barracks up to mid night, but it is hardly likely that he can survive. MAA Oli MYKR S OBJ EOT 9. Oglethorpe Avenue Not the Plnee for Me La tv n and Unrnm Monument*. Mayor Myers docs not think the Ogle thorpe avenue green at the intersection of Bull street the proper place for the Mc- L.iws and Bartow monuments. Capt. D. G. Purse recently addressed a letter to the Mayor, stating that the com mittee in charge of erecting the monu ments to Gen. Lafayette McLaws and Gen. Francis S. Bartow', had decided to erect the monuments in the center of the avenue of trees on Oglethorpe avenue, on opposite sides of Bui! street, and from ten to twenty feet hack from the walks on either side. He requested the Mayor to designate these sites for the monuments under the resolution adopted by Council some time ©ince authorizing such action. Mayor Myers, in replying to Capt. Purse yesterday, stated that the selection of sites did not meet with his approval. “To my mind." he said, “the placing of these monuments in the spots designated by you, would impair the view of the avenue, and would not give them the conspicuous locations they deserve. With so many squares in the city it appear© to me tht it would be far better to select one of them as the site for the monuments, and 1 am of the opinion that the mass of our ci izens share in thi9 view.” The Mayor stated in conclusion that he would like to consult further with the committee having the matter in charge before coming to a conclusion in the ma t ter. DEATH OF CiPT. AUSTIN DAVIS. 1 Savnnnnhian One of the Chinese Victims. Th“ news of the death of Capt. Austin R. Davis in the fight before Tien Tsin caused deep regret in Savannah, where young Davis was well known. There Is some doubt here whether the Capt. Davis mentioned in the dispatches as having been killed is the young Sa vannahian. it is generally believed, how ever, that he is the Davis referred 10. Capt. Davis entered the naval academy soon after leaving the High School. He spent one or two leaves of absence in Savannah while his parents and his brothers lived here. He was on the bat tleship Oregon during her famous run around the horn to Cuba and took part in the battle of Santiago. After that he was ordered to the Philippines and it was not known here that he was irt China until the news of his deaih was received. * Capt. Davis was a son of Rev. L. B. Davis and a brother of Lueien E. and H. C. Davis, formerly of Savannah. Mr. Clarance I. Groover of the Columbus En quirer Sun married Capt. Davis' sister. Asa youth Davis was of slight build, active and of a remarkably bright mind. His career although brief has been one of wnich his friends are proud. CCL. GUILD POPULAR HERE. Savann-thlanM Remember Affection ately Lee's Inspector General. The Savannah friends of Col. Curtis Guild, Jr. noted with interest, and pleasure in yesteraay's dispatch to the Morning news, that the office of first assistant postmaster general, vacated by Hon. Perry Heath, who resigns to bejome sec retary of the National Republican Com mittee, had been offered to the former in spector general on the staff of Gen, Fitz hugh Dee. Col. Guild, however, has de clined the oftice. When the Seventh Army Corps was en camped übout Savannah there was no more popular officer of line or staff than Curtis Guild. Though he was a Republi can of the Republicans and from the very center of Republican strength, he won Ills way rapidly into the esteem and admira tion of the Sovannahians with whom he was thrown Into personal or official con tact. A good soldier, a most efficient staff of ficer, a cultured man of the world and a most accomplished gentlemens Savannah welcomed him when he came, and regret ted when he left. The office of first as sistant postmaster general, had Col. Guild accepted it. Sovannahians believe would have been worthily bestowed and well tilled. ON THE!It ANNUAL VACATIONS. Pcatofllce Employes llaTe Began Their Holiday*. The annual leaves of absence to em ployes of the postofflre have been started by Postmaster Doyle. Chief Mailing Clerk T. H. O'Donovan and Chief Delivery Clerk R. W. Green are now on their va cations. Under this annual leave of ab sence system, which was only Instituted by the department a year ago. each em ploye is given two weeks' leave of ab sence, with full pay, during the summer months. No class of government employes is harder worked than are those of the postofflee department, and the nnnual va cation Is doubtless a good thing for the de partment as well as for the employes. Secretary of National Bill roster*. Mr. Charles Bernard, who has been In New York for the last week attending the BUI Posters’ reunion, has been elected to secretaryship of National Association of Bill Posters of the United States and Canada. HUt office will be his headquar ters for the next year. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1900. RIFLE CONTESTS ARRANGED. REGIMENTAL AND COMPANY TEAMS AT AVONDALE ON SEPT. 3 AND . Plans for State Rifle Contest* Form ulated nt Meeting of the Savannah Military Rifle ItmiKC \**ooiation. ( ontcNta W ill He Under Direction of Col. George T. ( nun, /■‘fate In spector General of Rifle Practice. DcTtenne Trophy for Regimental and De Soto Cup for Company Tennis—Many Will He Entered. Team* Will fit* of Five nnd Ton Men Each. The state rifle contest, for regimental and company teams, to be held on the Avondale range in September, is now as sured. The plans for the contest were formulated and the details arranged at a meeting of the Savannah Military Rifle Range Association, held yesterday after noon. The meeting was held at the offices of Messrs. Lawton & Cunningham. Col. A. R. Lawton, the president of the associa tion, presided, and the meeting was at tended by the commanding officers of the various military organizations with head quarters in Savannah nnd by the inspec tor general and inspectors of rifle prac tice. By n unanimous vote it was determined that the two trophies that are within the disposal of the association should be of fered as prizes nt a state shoot to be held oi Sept. 3 and 4, under the auspices and direction of Col. George T. Cann, the state inspector general of rifle practice. The Deßenne trophy, valued at $1,200, is to be contested for by regimental teams of ten men each, and the De Soto cup, valued at between S4OO and SSOO. by com pany teams of five men each. The shoot ing is to be at 200, 300, 500 and 000 yards, anjJ at the skirmish. lifter the meeting Col. Cann stated that the outlook for a successful shoot was most encouraging. ID* had assurances that twelve or {ourieen company teams would enter the contest, and that thiee o‘ four'regimental teams would compete. He will begin at once correspondence with the commands which have signified their desire and intention of sending teams to represent them, apprising them of the time the contests will be held, the rules that will govern them and the trophies that will be offered. It is possible that a larger number of team© than is now counted on may be induced to take part before the entries are closed. Sept. 3, the first day of the contest will be Labor Day and a holiday. It falls on Monday and the teams can travel, there fore. on Sunday. They will be able to leave Savannah on Tuesday night to re turn to their homes, so that Tuesday will be the only day the member© of the teams will be obliged to lose from their business. This opportunity to take part in the rifle contests without the loss of a great deal of time has its strong advantages. Until the annual contests in Savannah have become known and their usefulness to the military of the state appreciated ns it should be, it may perhaps be diffi cult to get the full representation of all the commands that is desired and ulti mately expected. That companies and regiments can send teams at slight disad vantage to their members, will do much towards the success of this first contest. A telegram was received from Capt. Hope of the Governor’s Horse Girard, sav ing that he and his command were in hearty sympathy with the Savannah plan, and that they would enter a team in the company match. The Governor’s Horse Guard is the organization that now* con templates sending a team to Sea Girt. From other commanders of companies and troops throughout the state the expres sions of opinion, and intention that have been receive*} by Col. Cann and other leaders in the enterprise, are not less encouraging. There will he no individual matches at the contests of this year, unless the plans as at present formulated undergo o ma terial change. Two days is time enough, it is believed, to devote to the matches and it is not thought that the regimental nnd company matches can be concluded, with the large number of entries expected, in less. To provide for individual matches, therefore, would necessitateprolinging the contests beyond the period that is now’ thought reasonable and advisable. In after years, when the contests have assumed their proper Importance in the military life of the state, they will be amplified and individual matches intro duced. It is possible that some friend or friends of the military will generous enough to donate additional trophies, to be contested for at ranges. One of the disadvantages under which the association now labors Is a scarcity of funds, the state making no appropria tion for the encouragement of rifle prac tice by contests of‘this character. With an adequate supply of the sinews of war the rifle matches might be arranged on a scale that would attract a much larger attendance than is now to be expected. MR. FINNEY’S HAD LUCK. Hands Burned mid Experimental Plant Damaged. A leaking tank caused a blaze that did considerable damage at Mr. B. F. Fin neys experimental works West of the city late yesterday afternoon. Mr. Finney established a small plant near Bacon's mill recently for the pur pose of making some experiments in rosin and turpentine products. The plant In cludes a tank containing oil. From a leak in the tank oil dropped into the furnace and started a blaze, which spread to the tank and to some barrels of rosin neor by. Mr. Finney was at work at the plant. In attempting to remove some barrels of rosin near the tank, his hands were badly burned. A telephone message was sent to fire headquarters, .and the engine and hose wagon responded. When the firemen arrive,! the blaze had done its work. A platform, use,! for unloading rosin, an,l a cni containing about u dozen barrels of rosin, were destroyed. The damage to the plant Itself was small. A large bar rel plant heftig located quite near by, the firemen remained until the flames had subsided for the protection of this plant. DIDN’T KNOW IT AVAS LOADER. But A. Simms Managed to Shoot His Father-In-law. A. Simms, colored, was arrested early this mornins on a charge of attempting to kill a man named Johnson. The affair occurred in Hall street lane, near West Broad street, where Johnson and his wife, who is Simms' mother, were having a fight. Simms took his mother's part and attempted to shoot Johnson with a rifle, though when he was taken to the. barracks he put up the usual story of "didn't know It was loaded." Kicked Up n Rotv in lllcks' A drunken white man went Into Hicks' restaurant on Congress street last night about midnight with the evident Inten tion of looking for trouble. He got It, for getting Into a dispute with one of the Inmates of the restaurant he was knocked down and then turned over to Detective Stark, who happened in about that time. He was taken to the barracks and will appear before the Recorder this morn ing to answer to the charge of being drunk and disorderly. WANTED HIM INCARCERATED. Colored Military Marched Him Into Police Harraoki. An amusing incident occurred at the bar racks yesterday afternoon when a squad of twelve men belonging to one of the col ored military companies that had been pa rading during the day marched io the barracks, through the sallyport and into the courtyard, where, at the word of com mand, they faced about and presented ins while the non-commissioned officer in charge made known to Lieut. Reilly that he and his men had come to turn over to the police for punishment one of their number who had been guilty of the heinous offense of cursing while in ranks. It was against the regulations of the state enlistment law, he stated, nnd wound up his explanation by saying that he wanted that “nigger incarcerated.” Lieut. Reilly explained that the offense did not come under the jurisdiction of the police department, but if the lieutenant would prefer charges against his man for cursing on the street he could be locked up for the Recorder’s Court. The soldiers were determined to have any trial that might come off on the charge of an in fraction of military rules and so decided that the offending member should be court martialed at the first opportunity. Then, coming from the salute to carry arms, they marched out again, taking their pris oner with them. CART. DILLON ASSUMED CHARGE. Hi* Duties ns Cashier of Chatham Hank Henan Yesterday. Capt. John R. Dillon assumed yester day the duties of cashier of the Chatham Bar/k, an office to w’hich he was elected some weeks ago. At the time he was chosen he notified the directors of the bank that he would require until July 15 to close up his accounts as clerk of the Board of County Commissioners. This work at the Court House has been completed, practically, and the office has been turned over by Capt. Dillon to his successor, Mr. G. Reuben Butler, so that yesterday the new cashier was in a position to discuss loans and discounts and rates of exchange with the customers of the bank. Cant. Dillon’s extensive knowledge of finance, gleaned from the handling of the accounts of the county commissioners and as tax receiver for the county for nearly a score of years, renders him a valuable officer for the bank, while his wide acquaintance with the people of Sa vannah and his popularity among them will bring the bank, in all likelihood, much additional business. BROOM COMPANY CHARTERED. Knlmnn Antiseptic Broom Company Incorporated for Twenty Years, Judge Falligant granted an order in the Superior Court yesterday incorporating the Antiseptic Broom Company, for a pe riod of twenty years. The incorporators are Messrs. Oscar S. Kulman, Herman Myers, J. J. Dale, J. H. Estlll, J. P. Wil liams and Samuel Meinhard.

Savannah's outfit of new mail boxes, which were recently put in, will soon be given a coal of aluminum bronze paint. John T. Cupper of Dockhaven, N. J., who makes a specialty of aluminum paint for mail boxes, has the contract, but wants a local painter lo do the wotk. The aluminum bronze paint not only has the advantage of giving the boxes an attrac tive appearance, but will make them con spicuous at night Savannah now has 140 mall boxes, which Is an increase of about twenty-five over tho complement of a year ago. q q i METHODISTS AT GUYTON.

President R. G. Erwin of the Plant System is in the city, having arrived yes terday morning. He expects to remain in Savannah several days. When seen at the Plant System offices yesterday he de clared that he was too busy to talk and would not give an expression on any thing. ”1 have just arrived,” he said, “and really have nothing to say. I shall he here several days and will tell you everything you want to know as soon as I get time. As to the vice presidency, really I can’t tell you anything at all about It now-’.” Notwithstanding Mr. Erwin’s unreadi ness to talk It is well understood that the position vacated by Mr. Knott has been offered to General Manager Thomas K. Scott of the Georgia Railroad. Mr. Erwin has been president of the Plant System just a little more, than a year. He is looking in excellent health and the arduous duties of his position ap pear to rest very lightly upon his should ers. SEABOARD’S BIG EXCURSION. Over 2,IHK> People Brought Into the City Yesterday. The Seaboard Air Line brought in over 2,000 people yesterday and last night from over its Georgia and Alabama line, this being the largest excursion of the season to this point. The Seaboard makes a practice of giving several of these excursions each summer, this being the second this season. • The first excur sion in May brought in 1,200 peopie. It is believed that yesterday’s excursion will even exceed in point of numbers that of July 17 a year ago, when the Georgia and Alabama brought in 2,025 people. Three trains were run yesterday. The first arrived at 9 a. m. from Helena with 610 people aboard. The second came in at 4 o'clock in the afternoon with 635 pas sengers. The third train came in last night from Montgomery and Columbus with over 800 people aboard. The excur sion is one of the largest ever run over the Georgia and Alabama, and it is noted for the fact that it was generally taken advantage of by the best class of people along the line. The large majority of the excursionists are whites and for the most part are very creditable representa tives of their section. The tickets are only good to Savannah and return, but most of the excursionists will take in Tybee. The hotels and board ing houses were crowded last night, and this condition is likely to continue to day. The tickets are good for four days, and it is believed that the majority of the excursionists will tftay out the limit. WERE QUICKLY DISPOSED OF. Police Docket Had Few but Petty Cases. A targe number of prisoners appeared in the Recorder's Court yesterday morn ing, but In the majority of cases the charges were of minor importance and the cases were quickly disposed of. J. B. York and C. H. Price who had a fight Sunday at Broughton and East Broad streets, in which both were pretty badly mauled, were sentenced to $lO or fifteen days each, but the tine was after wards remitted. The case of J. B. Graddook, white, who w'as arrested early Sunday morning for disorderly conduct, assaulting and threat ening to shoot E. Tillman, w r as continued. Henry Jackson, colored, charged with carrying concealed weapons, was turned over to the City Court. The case of Harbor Master Reilly against Capt, Nieholison of the bark James G. Pendleton for failure to comply with or ders given by the harbor master that he should/ change his vessel so as to permit another vessel, loaded with ballast, to oc cupy the berth to which the bark Pendle ten had been moved since her arrival in I>ort some two weeks ago and for which she had, and was paying, the customary port charges, was called yesterday morn ing by the Recorder, who, on hearing the testimony, sustained the harbor master. The case, however, without going through the usual channel of an appeal to Council, will be certioraried to the Superior Court. The agent of the owners of the bark pro pose making a test case. During the tes timony counsel for the bark’s agent asked the harbor master some pertinent ques tions. The defense claimed (he ordered removal of the bark Pendleton from the berth she was occupying, was an over stepping of the authority of the harbor master. It is likely, when the case reach es the Superior Court for trial, that it will be a lively one. The police did a rattling business yes terday, and as a result of their labors sixteen prisoners had been gathered l in up to midnight. Of these there was on unusual number of whites. William West brook. who got drunk and went on the warpath, cursed and threatened W. M. Tucker, and was arrested and sent in by I’atrolman Godbold. Willie Blown, a colored woman, was ar rested by Patrolman M. Davis. She was drunk and disorderly, and was arrested at the request of Sallie Davis, also co.- ored, whom she threatened to cut. When arrested she became particularly unruly and fought the policeman and the wit ness until she was stowed away in the patrol wagon. Henry Solomons, n colored hack driver, was arrested by Officer S. M. Davis on the charge of running over F. E. Grant, a bicyclist on Sunday night. I/Onnle Harrington, a colored man. was arrested yesterday by Patrolman Trouglas at the request of Arnet Hudson, who says that the man Is wanted for murder com mitted in Screven county some time ago. The authorities of Screven county were wired last night by Superintendent of Po lice Screven. If the prisoner Is the man wanted doubtless an officer will be sent for him. McGovern favorite here. Savnnnnhian* Showed Conildcralile Interest In tlic Fight. The Erne-McGovern prize fight In New York last night attracted considerable Interest here. A large crowd listened to the returns of the fight and there was considerable betting in a small way. Mc- Govern seemed to be the favorite in S.i. vannah. but there was considerable sur prise at his winning in the third round. It was generally thought here that Erne would hold up well to the end of the fight, and there were some who predicted a diaw, the fight being limited to ten rounds and a knockout required. The Erne back ers did not bet enough money to hurt ihfmelves, however. A dozen on the shell,” some celery and a pint of Cook's Imperial Extra Dry Champagne Is a lunch for the gods.—ad. Headquarters.

A Coniitrynm's Experience With a Went Broad Tonsorin 1 l*t. It is not often tha a policeman is consulted on tonsorial matters, but the exception was made yesterday w’hen one of the members of the Central Railroad force was asked the standard prices of shaves, hair cuts, and shampoos. His in terlocutors were tw’o countrymen who, w’hen they had received the desired in formation, confided the fact that a barber up the street had robbed them and asked for advice in the matter. According to their story they went into the barber shop of Henry Cain, on West Broad street, near the depot, and asked for a shave. This each got and then un der the skillful blandishments of the bar bers, “little too long, Sir,” and “trim it for you in five minutes,” they decided to have a hair cut as well. Then a shampoo was proposed and the victims consented to that; this of course brought to light the fact that the hair would be wonder fully improved by singeing, and singed it was. After the application of hair tonic which followed, the resources of the average barber would have been exhaust ed, but not so in this case for one of the artists with a critical acumen rare, even in this profession, discovered that the personal pulchritude of one of the victims would be materially improved i f his eye brows were trimmed, and though the man in the chair expostulated, the barber persisted and actually trimmed the eye brows that were none 100 plentiful at first. Then finding that nothing further in the barbering line could be done, the men were reluctantly released from their chairs, nnd asked to “come across” with $1.50 each. One of the men in telling of his experi ence afterward, said, "wc paid up because we didn't know’ just what else to do, but if I had that nigger where I* come from I'd wear him out.” When all the facts of the case had been told to the policeman, he took the men with him and went to the barber shop, there he demanded an itemized statement of the charges, and. as these could bo made to fool up only 90 cents a piece, the matter was compromised by the return of 50 cents to each of the men. This is not the first time that thN trick has been tried on persons who appeared to be “easy,” and the policeman yester day, warned the proprietor of the sh<r>. that if any other complaint of similar nature was reported to him, he would have the whole force arrested. For Violating Sanitary Laws. A. B. Ellerbe, white, was arrested yes terday by a sanitary inspector for throw ing rotten watermelons and such stuff in the ditches and under the cars in the Central Railroad yard. Ellerbe was approached by the inspec tor and asked his name and address that it might be put on ihe information docket. He refused the desired information, so was arrested. He was released later in the day, but will appear before the Re corder this morning. YOUR DAUGHTER’S- LEGACY”. Hoxv It Can Ben Permanent A’alne to Her.
