10 TEAMS TIED IN A BRILLIANT GAME OVER 3,000 SAW CONTEST. JACKSONVILLE DEVELOPED GREAT STRENGTH FINALLY. Game YVa* Most Spectacular Ever Seen Here, and NVn* Keinarkahlj Free from Any Objectionable Tac tic?.—Visitors* Heavy Baekfleld Crashed Into Savannah'* Line IVilli Terrific Momentum—Cope Satisfied YVith Showing Made. With all the fire and fury of Savan nah at its best, combined with better individual and team work, the strength and courage of the magnificent foot ball eleven which Jacksonville brought here yesterday evened matters up and at the end of the game the score stood at the unsatisfactory figures of 5 to 5. It was a magnificent game, played ■wholly on its merits and abounding in sensational prays. To the spectator it was perhaps, the finest football spec tacle that has ever been presented In the South. I*t was a game in which both sides exhibited offensive strength .vastly superior to defensive. In this is explained the apparent ease with which each team advanced the ball, and it is remarkable that both sides did not score oftener. With both teams playing along practically the same lines on the offensive —de- pending on tricks and sharp runs out side of tackle, the individual work of some of the most famous football players in the South, was at all times In plain view of the spectators. Game Remarkably Fast. Any one who pretends to tell the complete and accurate story of the battle hs it was fought yard by yard will not have faith put into his nar rative by eyewitnesses. The motion was so swift that nothing but photo raphy could record its detail with pre cision. Deception of the eye was more generally resorted to for profit than the measuring of strength. The varying sensations of elation and depression in that vast throng during the first te.< minutes of play but keyed the tension of excitement to the highest point. From the kick off on through the dragging minutes when the Blue and White rolled back the Jay attack, or broke through the sav age line, every play made it more ap parent that the Orange and Black had developed wonderful strength, and that .victory was not to be had for the ask ing. Placing little confidence in the published line up it was expected that Jacksonville would show up with valu able material garnered from a distance. But it was not expected that such a powerful engine of offense could be thrown together so quickly. Heavy Men’s Strength Told. The large amount of money which was wagered in small portions Indi cated when totalled up just tow confi dent the visitors were of victory. Played off their feet In the first half, they came back as the third wave on the seashore piles un after two less eager breakers have rolled in. On their heavy secondary battery they depend ed, and when massed and sent crash ing through the light Blue and White it was beyond human strength to stop it after getting well in motion. Had Jacksonville’s line been generally as strong as the back field, Savannah would have been defeated. But there was no chance to seize ad vantage from Savannah’s blundering. Strength and endurance might fall at moments, but here was the football machine in a high state of efficiency. Charged with extra steam when extra effort was needed, vet mobile as an auto in its adjustment to the shifting demands of the instant. Jacksonville tried to elude this thinking mechan ism. but whenever her attack varied there were Blue and White tacklere to meet it, headlong projectiles with books of steel which bored through in terference as through paper, and di vined painfully drilled strategems as by a sixth football sense. Savannah Fighting Valiantly. But outweighing this generalship in ultimate results was the weight of the Orange and Black. Crushed and bleed ing, the light blue and white was fight ing valiantly at the end of the second half to stem the remorseless line-shat tering charges of the visitors as yard after yard of territory was cut from Savannah's hope of keeping the results of the first half unchanged. With the ball on Savannah's ten-yard line, and a fumble seemingly the only hope to prevent a score, the period of play terminated before the ball was snapped on a first down. So evenly matched were the teams that no Jacksonville enthusiast will agree that Savannah excelled In Indi vidual brilliancy. Neither will loyal Savannahians yield the palm to Jack sonville. A comparison of the teams, man for man, would not meet with ■the approval of one man out of ten in either city. Jacksonville profited most In the favors tot football fortune. But they also were more consistent In ground gaining. Yancy’s touchdown Was made and allowed under protest, Referee Btttler inadvertently being the best Interference the halfback had In eluding tackle. But this Is one of the fortunes of the game, and the score might hhve been made anyway. Record Breaking Crowd. As early as 2 o'clock In the afternoon one was reminded of Derby Day in the vicinity of some great race track by the crowds which poured through Dol ton street to the scene of the approach ing conn let. The paid admissions, footing up something like 3,000 persons did not represent all who witnessed the game. In the assembling of the crowd and the prevailing deep interest, little ef fort was made to keep hundreds of boys from scaling the fences and get ting Into the park, and It is estimated that between 3.R00 and 4,000 people ac tually witnessed the game. When the sale of reserved seats at JsreaPs pool room was discontinued at noon 1,437 seats had been reserved, and the scene presented at the bo* office at the grounds Indicated that the sale was but a small proportion of what K would finally'amount to. C rowd I iiunoh Orderly, The seating capacity of all three • stands Is In Ihe m tgh hot hood of 2.600 people, and there ware no available seats, when the game started. Many of the more enthusiastic, however, left th--ir seats during the progriss of the game to get down nearer the aide lines, Along the southern side line specta tors eere banked all and eight deep, all ersning their, neck* for a nearer view, The stands were one msas of oior, the pure Mur and white stand ing out clearly against the dark back ground of sp"o<slots At User the din waa deafening * os bet!* dun it,, bulls, Christmas horn* added ts the clamor of thousand* of Msm* and a crashing brass haad Malay aa all atoh roads will ha, Iksu Cess' <• tod on gijub pegs BULLET FROM RIFLE MAY CAUSE BOY’S DEATH. Young John Bannon Accidentally Wounded by Younger Brother. Suffering from a rifle wound acci dentally inflicted by a young brother, John Bannon, aged 11 years, of No. 20 Forty-first street, east, is at the Sa vannah Hospital in a dangerous con dition. The bullet from a 22-calibre rifle en tered the right side and passed through the abdomen, coming out at the back. The bullet passed through the left kid ney, tearing a piece of it away, and Dr. B. P. Oliveros, the attending phy sician. found it necessary to operate. The accident occurred Christmas morning a few minutes after the two young sons of Mr. John J. Bannon had jumped from their beds to exam ine the contents of the stockings they had hung up for Santa Claus to fill. John, a bright little fellow employed In the office of Haines & Hunter, in the Germania Bank building, had ex amined his presents and was dressing. His little 'brother had, among other things, received a modern 22-calibre rifle and was anxious to see if the cartridges would fit. John was lean ing over lacing his shoes when the younger boy attempted to put a cart ridge into the rifle. The accidental discharge of the weapon occurred at this time, and John fell to the floor with a scream. Dr. Oliveros was hastily summoned and the wound was temporarily dress ed. Later it was deemed advisable to move the little sufferer to the hospi tal for an operation. He stood It well, and last night the attending physician entertained strong hopes for his recov ery, although he is by no means out of danger. HOME FOR CHRISTMAS GOES THE PRISONER. Old Negro Wan Released on Order from Jndge Speer. Perhaps one of the most highly ap preciated Christmas gifts received in Savannah was that which came to Robert Bell, an old negro prisoner serving sentence In the Chatham coun ty *ail for illicit distilling. The gift was an order from Judge Emory Speer authorizing the release of the old man and returning him to his family. The sentence is suspended ponding the good behavior of the ne gro. and provided he does not again attempt to make liquor without the consent of the government, and with out paying 'his fax. The policy of sus pending sentence pending good beha vior has been followed by Judge Speer for years and it has been found to bring far better results than that of compelling the men to serve out their entire sentence. LEADING.LADY FAINTED WHEN PISTOL FIRED. An Incident at Yesterdny'a Matinee Not on the Bills. Few of those who attended the matinee at the theater yesterday knew that Miss Alice Bolton, who took the part of Mona Desmond, a false friend, in the presentation of “A Little Mother” by the Arnold Stock Company really swooned when she was fired on by the villain in the play. Miss Bolton has been indisposed for several days, and when she was carried behind the scenes yesterday It was sometime before she recovered con sciousness. Luckily she had no more lines in the play. She was able to appear with the company last night in the presentation of "A Daughter of Satan.” JURY COMMISSION STILL WORKING HARD. There was no session yesterday of the jury commission, the Christmas holiday being the first week day in several weeks that a meeting has not been held. The practice of working on the lists for at least three hours each day has had a tendency to hurry up the work, though It is not yet complete. As stated heretofore In the Morning News there will be a big increase this year In the lists and the work is no light one. It is Impossible to say just how much more time will be required to complete the work, but It Is certain to require at least 'another week. PRESENTED WITH ~~ DIAMOND CHARM. The employes of the Savannah l T nion Station Company yesterday presented Mr. J. B. Blanton, station master, with a handsome diamond studded watch charm. The presentation took place In Mr. Blanton’s office, and the speech of presentation was made by Mr. S. E. Kraft, assistant to Mr. Blanton. The gift was unexpected on the part of the genial station master, but he responded with an appropriate address of thanks. He is quite popu lar with all the employes and ap preciates the remembrance very much. PROFESSOR BRAttDT VERY LOW. Prof. Carl L. Brandt, who has been ill for some time, was reported to be slowly sinking last night. He Is at his apartments at the Telfair Academy, and grave fears are entertained for his recovery by the members of his fam ily. NEGRO WAS STABBED TWICE IN THE FACE.

Two Were Shot, One Being Killed Almost Instantly and the Other Probably Fatally Wuunded—Two Singing Negroes Met Three Other, and How Followed—Wonnded Mun Knocked Assailant Down, but YVus Attacked by Two Others, Dresesd in a fancy costume, which he had put on to celebrate Christmas, Andrew Price, a negro, was shot through the stomach and almost in stantly killed, and Charles Britton, an other negro, was shot through the left side and probably fatally wounded, by an unknown negro man In Woodsville, outside tbe city limits, at an early hour last night. The superintendent of police and De tectives Wall, Murphy and Davis went ter the scene immediately after the homicide, but no clue as to the identity of the man who did the shooting could be found. Crowds of negroes, both men and women, were drunk in Woodsville and excitement was run ning high. It was feared for a time that more serious trouble might follow, but the officers succeeded in quieting the crowd. The negroes, however, would give little information about the shoot ing. The only story of the affair was given by Britton, the wounded negro. Shot in 111. Arms. Britton and Price were going down Fair street together to meet the West Savannah car. as Britton’s wife was expected. The men had been drink ing and were walking arm in arm. Price was dressed in a ftincy costume In celebration of Christmas, and both were singing gaily. Just before the two men reached the Augusta road, three other negro men w’ere met. One of the three men they met had some remarks to make about the singing. Words were exchanged, and one of the three men drew his pis tol and fired. Price was in Britton's arms, when he was shot, and Britton protested, begging the man not to shoot again. Fought After Being Shot. Regardless of the protests, the man, it is alleged, fired again, the second bullet striking Britton. He then drop ped. Price and attacked his assailant, knocking him down at a single blow, he claimed. The remaining two of the unknown negroes then attacked Brit ton, who is a very powerful man. He was held, while the man who did the shooting made his escape. The other two then let Britton go and ran. Persons in the neighborhood, who had heard the shots, meanwhile telephoned the police and officers rush ed to the scene. The neighborhood was searched, but the three unknown men could not be located. Dr. George Norton was called to attend Britton. Price had died a few seconds after he was shot. Britton is verx badly wounded and may die. CREATEDTROUGH HOUSE IN HIS OWN RESIDENCE. Finally Wound Up With rharxr of Scrion# Nature AsalnM Him. After badly beating his wife, who In turn took revenge on another woman, Jim Battle went to his home in Ogle thorpe lane, between Habersham and Price streets yesterday afternoon and proceeded to put his hitherto peaceful -domicile on the blink. After smashing a few chairs and some other furniture he finally engag ed in target practice with a 38 cali bre Smith & Wesson revolver. He soon shot all the breakable things around the room to pieces, and threat ened to shoot anyone who came in his path. He was arrested by Patrolman Deignan, and and a charge of assault with intent to murder Caro Hender son, who said he fired at her. was preferred against him. The Battle woman took revenge on Diana Ran dolph, and handed her several stiff arm jolts before she was finally tak en in tow by the officer. FLORIDA SPECIALS SOON TO START.

Employes of Railroad and Express Companies Breathe Easier. Now that Christmas has come and gone the employes of the railroad and express companies, as well as the post office, are feeling elated. The season is a time of great trial to them all. At the Union Station was experienc ed, perhaps, the greatest rush, there being so much travel out of the city at this time. The people all left about the same time and the rush at the ticket office was only equalled by the crush at the iron gates leading to the waiting trains. All employes were constantly on the jump until the last train left Christmas day. Nothing like a rush attends the returning. With the express company the rush is practically over the day following Christmas, though there are many de layed packages to be forwarded and delivered. The enormous amount of gifts sent by express entails much work upon the employes even when extra help is given them. All in the office and out are in a nerve wrecking race to keep the packages from piling up. When the final period of rush is over each employe is glad and will ing to vote for the abolishment of the holiday. The work in connection with railways and express companies is pretty stren uous in times of comparative peace, but when the war of the holidays is on there is no word sufficient to de scribe the degree of strenuosity that prevails. RECORDER HELD LONG SESSION OF COURT. Eighty-Three Cases YVere Disposed of iu Police Court. Police Court was grinding three hours yesterday morning disposing of the usual Christmas drunk and disor derly cases, with a few cases to be finally tried in the Superior or City Court. The most serious charge preferred was assault with intent to murder against a negro, who fired a pistol at another* negro, just grazing his breast. Disposing of the Christmas docket, and also an extra Sunday docket, the session was the shortest held here in years on a similar occasion. If all of the fines imposed were to be paid, in stead of some working out their fines, the net amount to the city would be 1343. ON TWO SERIOUS CHARGES. Joseph Gordon, colored, was re manded to the City Court by the Re corder yesterday morning on two charges. He was arrested Saturday night by Patrolman Cronin and when searched a revolver was found in his pocket. Gordon was arrested for the larceny of a bolt of cloth from Wil liam Marcus. OFFICER SHOTNEGRO WHO RESISTED ARREST. Palromnn Laird Had Serious Dif ficulty With Prisoner. While resisting arrest and pointing a pistol at the officer, Frank Taylor, a negro, was shot by Patrolman Laird yesterday afternoon. The bullet entered the calf of the left leg and inflicted a painful but not dangerous wound. After being shot Taylor ran for some distance, buit was finally caught by Patrolmen Laird and Dooley. Officer Dooley got the drop on the negro and made him hand over his pistol. The shooting took place near the Tybee depot. Taylor was firing his pistol In the street when Patrolman Laird went to arrest him. CITY COURT SCARED WOMAN SHOPLIFTER. Rebecca Williams, the negro woman who was arrested Saturday night by Special Officer Frank Quinly for the theft of several small toys in Kirby's store on Broughton street, was given a hearing before the Recorder yester day morning and remanded to the City Court. The woman seemed as much affected when told she would be tried in the City Court for larceny as though she had just been convicted of murder and sentenced to hang. So loud was her wailing that she had to be carried' back to the lockup so that court could proceed without interruption. NEEDLESS EXCITEMENT CAUSED MAN’S ARREST. Because he pretended he was shot and created a lot of excitement on Jones street, east, early yesterday morning, Arthur Anderson, a negro, was arrested by Mounted Patrolman Cronin. The negro had attempted to enter the house In the rear of No. 219 Jones street, east, claiming at the time that he was shot and cut. A telephone message was sent to police headquart ers nd Patrolman Cronin was sent to investigate. FOUGHT r HIS WIFE WHO CARRIED GIFT. Kmma Hurley, a negro woman, was badly beaten and cut about the hands by her husband, George Hurley, early last night on Oglethorpe avenue, east. The two had separated some time ago, but last night the wife went to her husband’s house to carry a Christmas present that had been sent to her for him. PATROLMAN USKD HIS CLUB. Freddie Smith, who was arrested Saturday night for assault with in tent to murder Eddie Jones by firing on him with a pistol, was turned over to the Superior Court yesterday morn ing when given a preliminary hearing before the Recorder. Smith and Jones were good friends. It seems. Witnesses testified that Smith pulled his pistol and fired without provocation. The bullet struck Jones' suspender buckle and grazed off. Smith snapped his empty pistol on Patrolman Laird, who was forced to use his club. The ne gro was knocked down by the officer. Kiraniim Hales In Jacksonville via AI lit uI Ic Cobs I Line.

ABOUT $2.1.000 REPRESENTS COUN TRY* PIRCHASE. Remaining SIO,OOO Is What Savan nuliian* Expended In Fireworks for C'Kristmas Holidays—Enough Money Went Up In Smoke to Sup port Over n Hundred Families ol Three Each for a Y’eer—Displays of Recent Year* More General bnt Not as Elaborate as Formerly. Fireworks valued approximately at $65,000 were sold in Savannah this Christmas. Of that amount the smoke that went up in the city represented $40,000, the remaining $25,000 worth of fireworks being shipped to adjacent towns. Although the figures are staggering they are vouched for by probably the largest wholesale dealer in the city. It means that a sum sufficient to sup port over one hundred families of three each, for a whole year was burned in the celebration of Christmas 1904, in Savannah and the immediate vicinity. Roman candles, sky rockets, fire crackers, and torpedo canes and their ammunition were exchanged by the merchants for this mammoth sum, al though the amount of money spent for fire ci’ackers in the city was small er than usual. This was due to the presence of the torpedo stick, a much more efficient noise producer. Torpedo Cane Was Popnlar. ■While the torpedo cane, and with it the boxes of dynamite caps, ruled a strong favorite in the city more than the usual quantity of Romar candles and sky-rockets were sold. As many cannon crackers were sold as last year, but most of them were ship ped into the country. The torpedo sticks took the place of-these crack ers in the city to a very large extent. Despite the fact that each year the amount of fireworks sold in the city has lAcreased materially the displays within the last two or three years have not been as spectacular as they were in the days when each square had its .own bonfire and display of fireworks, and when the Park Extension was the scene of dozens of bonfires where several thousand dollars worth of fire works went ud in smoke and flame annually. Display Less Elaborate. Although more fireworks are explod ed now, those who burn their money in this fashion do not gather in the squares, but have their own exhibi tions in front of their own homes. For this reason the display is more gen eral and less elaborate. Then. too. a great many Roman can dles and sky-rockets are shot in the streets and lanes of Yamacraw, the Fort and Frogtown that few people outside of the residents of these sec tions see. Many of these are fired by negroes in the day time in battles, or at telegraph poles and street signs. This was quite noticeable to the police during the fast three days. But the fact remains that money enough was expended in Savannah for fireworks this year to erect a hand some home for the indigent of the city. And, too, the indigent themselves as sisted in the destruction. SHOT OUT GLASSES TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS. Going to arrest Fannie Glover early last night, Patrolmen Collins and Un gar found every window glass in the house shot out. The woman told the officers the glasses had been shot out during the Christmas celebration. She was want ed on the charge of striking Diamond Randolph, another negro woman, with a stick. The husband alleged to have celebrated Christmas so strenuously was not at home when the officers call ed. Twenty-one shots were counted In the house. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHRISTMAS TREE Thirty bright children of the Chris tian Science Sunday-school enjoyed a Christmas tree at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Tcasdale, No. 18 Oglethorpe ave nue, east. The teachers were all pres ent, as well s relatives of the little ones. One especial feature of the cele bration was a magic lantern show, which was greatly enjoyed. Songs of Christmas were sung, after which came the gift-giving. Each child was pleas antly remembered. POOR WHISKEY IN “OLD JOE” BOTTLES. Thl* la What Distillers Charge in Federal Suit Against Phoebns Man. Judge Edmund Waddill of the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, yester day Issued an order temporarily re straining Nicholas Leonard, of Phoe bus, Va., from making use of the name "Old Joe Whiskey’’ and from using said words as part of a label or brand for liquor sold by him. The order also cites Leonard to appear in court here Jan. 16, 1905, and show cause why said injunction should not be made permanent. Process was issued by Clerk Bow deh and given to Deputy Marshal James E. West to serve upon Leonard immediately after receipt of Judge Waddlll’s order. The order was issued upon petition of Aaron Bluthenthal and M. L. Bieknrt, trading as Bluthenthal & Biokart, wholesale liquor dealers, of Atlanta, Oa., who allege that Leonard has wilfully Infringed upon their trade-mark. The complainants set forth that their largest selling brand of “B. & B,” as the concern Is fa miliarly known, Is the famous "Old Joe” Whiskey, over 1,600,000 bottles of which have already been sold this year. They claim that Leonard hns been refilling the original "Old Joe” bottles with Inferior whiskey and sell log it as genuine. The complainants also claim that the defendants violat ed their rights by the unlawful sale of an inferior whiskey he called "Old Joe,” that he succeeded in getting empty "Old Joe" bottles, which he refilled and sold as the genuine arti cle, The complainants say that theae acta of the defendant have caused then! great Injury, hut they cannot elate with certainty the exact amount, but believe the aarue to he fully 16.006.

Pstrolmsn Brown Made a Good Shot ( in Yamacraw. Dowell McPherson, colored, was shot In the leg by Patrolman Jim Brown in Yamacraw early yesterday morning. The officer went to arrest McPherson, but the negro made a sprint for liberty. Brown called to him to halt, and when he continued running the uniformed man took careful aim and shot the man in the leg. Last night additional charges of the larceny of S3O from Henry Elkins were prefererd against the accused. McPherson Is believed to be one of the gang of car breakers who have done several jobs in the yards of the railroads recently. Special Agent G. S. Godbold was at the station house yesterday to see if he could identify McPherson as the man he came upon suddenly in the Coast Line yards sev eral nighSt Mr. Godbold was down in the yard and saw the negro near the door of a car. He at first thought It was the car inspector, and called him by name, and when no an swer came he struck a match. He would not say yesterday whether Mc- Pherson was the man. The accused has an unsavory reputation in police circles and has “done time.” PONY IN PARLOR WAS WHAT SMALL BOY FOUND. Santa Claus brought Wallace Sip ple, the 10-year-son of Mr. Charles H. Sipple, a little Shetland pony. The pony was found in the parlor yester day morning along with the other gifts. Master Wallace had hung up his stock ing, but the ipony was a little too large for that. The stocking was tied around the pony’s neck when it was found. HOW THE OFFICER FELT. One who serves in an official capaci ty often has to answer some ques tions which appear more or less fool ish. One of the patrolmen on duty in the business district Christmas Eve along a down-town street, was twtrl- Ihg his 'hilly idly to and fro when approached by a young man who real ly looked intelligent at times. "Anything doing?” queried the young man. The blue-coated minion of the law re garded his interrogator for some mo ments half in doubt as to the sin cerity of the question. Then as sev eral torpedoes exploded with fearful force, he leaned over and yelled in the young man’s ar: "Oh, , no; everything’s dead quiet.” FIREMEN FARED WELL. The men at the several fire stations fared well, as usual, Christmas and yesterday and were well provided for by their neighbors. “Cap” Connelly at Hose Company No. 1 wishes to re turn thanks for the nice things neigh bors sent him and his men. All of the firemen also wish to thank Mr. Louis Garfunkel for the excellent cakes he sent to all of the fire stations. The fire laddies are nev er forgotten by Mr. Garfunkel and with one accord they wish him a happy new year. POLICE KEPT BCSY. For several hours early last night the police were kept busy and there will have to be a long session of Po lice Court this morning to clear the docket. There were forty-six arrests made before 11 o’clock. Most of the eases were for drunkenness or for dis orderly conduct growing out of the use of whisky. There were a number of fights, but most of the cases were un important. Gave Enjoyable Dinner. The employes of the firm of Dougan & Sheftall were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Sheftall at dinner yesterday. The guests were welcomed by Mr. Sheftall in a speech, in which he expressed his satisfaction of hav ing his employes with him at this season. Messrs. W. H. Lanier and John C. F.
