THE CITY. Watching the New Year In and the Old Year Out. As is the custom among the Methodists of this city, the “night watch” will be kept at New Houston Street Church on Wednes day night, the congregations of all the other churches participating therein. The watch will begin at 10:30 p. m., and kept up until the Ist day of January, 1885, rises smiling from the ashes of December 31, 1884, Badly Used. Last evening, about 8 o’clock, a little col ored bootblack, named Ben, was knocked down and trampled on by one or more of a crowd of men passing through the square on Abercorn and State streets. Ben was picked up and taken to the office of Dr. E. H. Nichols, where an examination was made, and his left shoulder was found to be rather severely strained, though the hurt was not of a serious nature. The boy screamed lus tily,and evidently thought his time had come. He says the party were drunk, and claims that he did nothing to excite their anger. Election of Officers. At a regular meeting of Georgia Lodge No. 151, 0. K. S. 8., the following were elected officers for the ensuing term: President —Charles L. Blun. Vice President—William Kussak. Secretary—J. G. Schwarzbaum. Assistant Secretary—Elias Brown. Treasurer —H. Haym. Conductor —J. P. Levy. Assistant Conductor—E. Saloshin. Inside Guardian—Max Jacoby. Outside Guardian—G. Schwarzbaum.

Bishop as “The Widow.” This evening the popular comedian, C. B. Bishop, will appear at the Savannah Theatre in his new version of the inimita ble “Widow Bedott.” The Augusta Even ing News states his reception in Augusta thus : “Cold as the night was, the audience at the Masonic Temple sat for three hours last night and laughed itself hoarse over the inimical comicalities of C. B. Bishop as ‘Widow Bedott.’ He was simply immense, and no audience ever laughed or applauded more. Bishop was well supported by Eu gene Eberle as ‘Elder Smffles;’ Charles Renner as ‘Pettingill’s Boy,” and Miss Kenyon Tilton as ’Dotty Sniffles,” all of whom came in for a full share of applause The comedy was exceedingly broad and Bishop broader, but it was funny and that is what tickled the audience. Mr. Bishop and troupe rendered the 1 Widow Bedott’ at the matinee.” An Unwelcome Interruption. Vester Jay about 2 o’clock in the afternoon an accident occurred at the gas works of the Mutual Gas Company, which necessitated the closing of the main which supplied the entire city, and the interruption continued for more than an hour before the accident could be repaired. This was a very unwel come event to a large number of families all over the city, who have abandoned the coal stove and do their culinary work on the new gas stoves sold by this Company. It created great consternation, owing to the fact that the majority of those using these stoves had only got their dinners half cooked, and many a good turkey dinner was spoiled. The gas was turned on again at 4 o’clock, but the time taken up in making the necessary re pairs had been just so much lost from the making the supply for the evening, hence bad lights were the consequence all over the city until 9 o’clock, when all went well again. A gentleman, who left the gas burning low in his room when he left it at 6 o’clock, re turning at 10, found his room full of gas and a couple of pet squirrels nearly asphyxiated Mr. Thompson, the manager of the Com pany, says that the capacity of the works is taxed to the utmost, and the loss of an hour or so of time is a serious drawback. How ever, the like is not apt to occur again. City Court. City Court convened this morning at 10 o'clock, Judge W. D. Harden, presiding. The following cases were heard: State vs. George Washington. Assault and battery. Continued. State vs. Sharper Garon. Simple larceny. Sentenced to six months on the chain gang. State vs. Henry Hart. Simple larceny. Sentenced to three months on the chain gang. State vs. Alexander Lane. Assault ard battery. Sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang. State vs Mack Robinson. Malicious mis chief.

Sentenced to three months on the chain gang. State vs. George Washington. Simple larceny. Sentenced to six months on the chain gang. State vs Joe Middleton. Vagrancy. New trial granted by the court on its own motion on account of information received after trial, and verdict of not guilty ren dered December 29th, thus rescinding verdict of guilty rendered on December 22d. Court then adjourned until next Monday. PORT NOTES. '» ' Foreign Clearances from Savannah. Messrs. M. S.
