WALKING WHILE ASLEEP.
A SomnambuIistic Policeman Tells
Story on Himself.

a Story on Himself
GLOW does this weather suit you tor
working a beat?' policeman was asked
last night.
He was sitting on railing in square
resting and wishing it was time for the
relief TO be coming out.
This does very WE'LL" the officer re-
| piled. lit is the hot weather that don't
like. The men can stand this all right,
but the hot dry DAYS put them on the sick
Inst. l had rather do two hours more
duty ON the coolest, ralnest night in
winter than take the regular hours in the
day time. You have got to walk up and
down the street, no matter how hot IL is,
with your coat buttoned up to the neck,
and try to look cool when you feel as II
you were $50 in the shade. The only
thing is to take the shady side of the
block. Really the force ought to be
supplied with sun umbrellas. If it is hot
at night man can open his coat ana sit
down once in awhile to cool off. A hot
night Is mighty apt to make u fellow
sleepy, and If he Is not careful he VIII be
asleep before he knows IL. You would
not think it, but many a man goes to
sleep standing up, and sometimes when
1t is raining, too. | have often found my
self leaning up against doorway or post
there. One time | remember ! was pat
rolling Bay street. 1t was a winay, rainy
night and about 10 O'Clock the rain turned
to seet. had been up at court two
mornings in succession and had been
caught on fire detail one night the same
week, so ! was pretty we'll worn
out, sleepy and tired. | was at
West Broad when 1t struck IL and
l calculated that / would meet my relief
on the way back. When | wO2e up was
coming up Gas House hill. 1t was dark
and could not tell what time it was, 50
| hurried on, and at the first lamp |
looked at my watch. 1t was twenty min
utes after midnight. | had walked the
whole length of the street and had been
down the hill and along the cotton presses.
| had missed my relief and | lost no
time getting back up the street. | said
that | had been after a man who was
acting suspiciousiy, and did not let on
that had been asleep"
Tine funniest experience | ever had,
though, was last month. [ came on one
hot night at u O'Clock. The stars were
out, but it looked like rain of toward the
southeast. At2 O'clock / met the Ser
geant who was on duty, and passed on.
There had not been drop OF rain, but
it was quiet and suItry. AT 3 O'Clock /
woke up soaking wet. / was walking
along the street and for two minutes |
could not think what was the matter.
There was too much to have been caused
by Precipitation, and / did not believe /
had been over in the river. Finally | got
my eyes open, and looking around | saw
the street full OF water. 1t was perfectly
clear overhead, but there was no mistake.
1t had been raining hard and | had been
walking through all the shower without
waking up or getting in doorway"

''The correspondent of the Sporting Life
is entirely mistaken. | doubt If there Is
single man in Ma aeon who wishes At
lanta to get the pennant. Your remark
That Macon will not be so anxious Tor
Atlanta TO get the pennant after this
downright robbery Is therefore hardly
just. Most Macon people would rather
nave Savannah get it than any other
club"
The Atlanta Journal says: "The Sa-
Vahnah papers, which crowed so loudly
yesterday over the disbandment OF the
Macon club and, according to their fgur-
ing, It's depressing effect upon Atlanta
may now regale themselves on dish OF
crow. The Forest City Board of Health
should Immediately place the savannah
club In quarantine, else its bad case Of
swelled head may become contagious and
carry off many Savannah people" Any
ciub that can keep the lead despite the
crooked way things have been run by
Atlanta of late is excusable in having a
swelled head.

RUMPUS AT CHARLESTON.
UMPIRE HENGLE NEARLY MOB
BED BY SPECTATORS.

Tug Arundel avs Successful Trick
and Maddens the Spectators by snatch
ing Victory from Defeat-The ohtcial
Score in Full-Result of the Other
GameB.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug, 5.-Savan-
nah won the game from Charleston to-
day in the ninth shining, after two
men were out on the mex
cusable carelessness OF the home
nine, by a score OF 4to3. When Savannah
went to the bat for her last inning the
game stood 3 to in Charleston's favor.
Everybody was confident that the visitors
could not overcome the lead Of their
rivals.
Fields went to the bat and struck fly
to Brosnan, who held it, putting out the
batter. Collins. the next batter, got first
base on ball mufled by Money. Strict fol-
lowed, and got first on fly mutfed by
Crowley. Then came Sutcl1e,
who struck to third base,
and was flung out at first by KaDpel.
Arundel, the next batter, struck to hap
pei and started to run to first base. Being
up to one of his characteristic
tricks he apparently gave up the
attempt and almost stopped running.
The Charleston team began to run in,
thinking that Arundel gave up as out.
Kappel, however, saw the trick and flung
the ball TO Powell, who mutfed it. Arun-
del thus made his base, which he was
declared entitled to 1t by the umpire.
Charleston made furious objection to the
decision and great confusion ensued.
During the confusion Collins, Strict and
Arundel made run apiece, making the
score TO 3 in favor of Savannah. One or
two spectators then SO far forgot
themselves as to rush out into
the field to remonstrate with
the umpire on his decision. The crowd
mistakiOg this as a demonstration
of personal violence rushed over
the ratings and in q few
moments covered the field. Umpire
Hengle was completely invested ON all
sides. Nobody hit anybody in particular
or in general, but there was a great deal
OF talk audible in the reporters box to
the effect that the game had been
sold out for cash consideration.
The ladies ON the grand stand
screamed with fright while Umpire
Hengle, like the centre of high pressure
In Charleston cyclone, moved hither
and thither az the storm moved around
the field. lie was openly charged by one
of the directors with having deliberately
stolen the game.
Many of the participants in the trouble
are heartily ashamed of themselves, and
admit that their action was entirely I'M
justifable, and was the result of uncOn-
trollable excitement and their deep
yearning for victory for Charleston. Fol-
lowing Is the official score In full:

HOME RUNS AND BASE HITS.
Items Gathered in the Diamond
Fields

When Savannah made the winning run
yesterday the cheer that rose from the
crowd watching the game at the Fords'
Opera House was heard for blocks, and
people rushed from every direction 10
learn what was the matter. The game as
taken by telegraph was highly exciting
one.
Unless Umpire Hengle is man of
more than ordinary pluck Savannah will
be badly handicapped IN the remaining
games with Charleston. Such a disgrace
tut demonstration as that of yesterday is
apt TO SO intimidate him as TO make i'm
partial decisions on Gloss points highly
improbable.
Harter and Corcoran, recently released
by Macon, are with the Rochester club.
Bennett, OF Detroit, has a nephew IA
years old catching in an amateur team In
Albany, Ga, and, il he keeps on trying,
will be as good as his uncle. He has
caught ten games and has had only four
passed balls.
In the four games with Memphis, Beard,
who was at bat seventeen times, has the
phenomenal record of twelve hits with a
total Of twenty-one bases. divided as fol.
lows: Five singles, five doubles and two
triples. IL is record that any man may
feel proud OF.
IL was rumoTeu NJ Atlanta w ednesday
that Macon had signed the entire Atlanta
team for the last series OF four games
with Savannah. AS Macon does not play
the last series of tour games with Savan-
nab. and as the league rules would not
sanction such proceeding, the absurdity
OF the rumor Is apparent on its face.
If the directors OF the Savannah club
allow the last four games between Macon
and Atlanta to count, and also the game
with Memphis, they will greatly disap-
point the base ball public. Macon Is not
now legally a member OF the league.
There are numerous irregular transac-
tions which no other league Of any stand
ing would tolerate for moment. The
sooner they are decided the better 1t will
be for all concerned.
Under date OF Macon, Aug. 4, "a Ma
conite" writes TO the NEWS as follows

VIII of the Late Andrew Low Filed
and Executors Appointed.

VIII of the Late Andrew Low Filed
and Executors Appointed.
An exemplited copy of the last will and
testament OF the late Andrew Low, of
England, was admitted to probate and
record in the Court of Ordinary yester-
day. Letters testamentary were granted
to Gen. A. K. Lawton and Thomas NJ.
Cunningham, Esq, as executors. Tue

ellis. 1t is dated at Beauchamp Hall,
bennington, county of Warwick.
The personal estate is put at G6l7,4l4.
Each daughter is left 100000, and a grand
son, Bevil Grenfell, gets $4,000 at his
majority. Gen. Low, II cousin, is willed
1000, and each OF the three English eX-
ecutors is left $500. The testator explains
why he does not leave something to his
American executors by saying that he
believes the law of Georgia provides tor
their compensation.
The requests to the charitable institu-
lions of Savannah were published recent
ly in the NEWS. The estate in Georgia is
estimated at $4,000 The total amount
of the estate in England is not stated, but

Central Stock Moving Along To .
wards Par.
Central railroad stock continued its
upward movement yesterday. 1t touched
p315, which Is great deal higher than
anybody thought a few weeks ago thatit
would go. The funny part of it is that
nobody seems to know what the cause of
the boom in the stock is. There are all
sorts OF rumors, of course. but no one is
willing totake the responsibility of saying
that one rumor is false, or that another
Is true. There are those, of
course, who know all about the
matter, but they are not standing on the
street corners giving the truth to all who
ask for it. 1t may be that the stock is in-
trinsically worth all that IL is now com,
manding, and more, but, If so, why was
rot the fact discovered a good while ago?
The sudden upward movement seems to
indicate something beyond discovery
that the stock mas been selling too low.
1t may be that there are those who
think the boom is in some way connected
with DIR. j. A. A. Vests circular, but
they wouldn't like to say so. The doctor
appears to have retired into obscurity
after giving the public glimpse of HIM
self by the light Of his first and only
rocket.
Ii the stock continues to 90 up there
may be little excitement visible about
town, and the absentees, who are seeking
pleasure in the mountains and by the sea
shore, may return home and take a hand
at the fascinating sport of monkeying
with stock that has the reputation OF
having crippled, IN a financial way. not
nany years ago, good many Savan-
nahians VINO were in too big hurry to
