tons.
Pop! fizzl bang tootl
That was the programme for Christmas
eve, and it was kept up until midnight.
the streets were thronged with people, and
1t was as merry a crowd as Savannah has
ever seen. Fire peppers, torpedoes, double
headers and tin horns made discord of
noises that would fairly rival those of
carnival parade.
Everybody was out TO see the sights, and
there were plenty of sights to be seen.
The market overlooked with crowds of
sightseers and belated marketers, and people
with heavily laden baskets jostled each
other good naturally as they crowded
around the stalls.
THE STREETS TKRoNGED.
Barnard street, in front of the market,
and Congress and Broughton streets were
thronged, but it was with good-natured, jolly
crowds, and the police had little to do but to
edge their way along and keep the people
moving
Very few stores were closed before mid
night, and the sidewalk counters and fruit
stands piled mp the nickels and dimes as fast
as they could be taken in. 1t was a rush.
ing time for the shopkeepers, and they all
had more than they could do. The tired
out clerks did not get home until long after
quiet people were in bed.
Up to 2 o'clock this morning there was a
score of arrests by the police, principally of
boys charged with shooting fire crackers
north of Liberty street. There were but
few arrests for drunkenness.

Rev. Robert Walker MacDonell, son of
Rev. G. G. N. MacDonell, and brother Of
Alexander II. MacDoneu, Esq.,, of this city,

ID. Walker after whom he was named.
The news of the death Of this distinguished
young Georgian will be read with
regret throughout the state, especially
by the members Of the Methodist
church. Mr.. MacDonell was 81 years of age.
He graduated at Emory College, and his
first appointment after joining the confer
ence was a circuit in Talbot county. where
he was stationed for year. Eight years
ago he married Miss Toe lie Williams of
Macon, and set out at once for his new field
OF labor. He went TO the city Of Mexico,
and there labored for two years. Then he
went to Durangos, where there was at that
time only one Protestant Mexican. His
success was so great that at the recent con-
ference at Eastman Bishop Duncan took
occasion to highly commend him. About
twenty-five miles from Durangos Is Nombre
de Dios, where there is a little church which
Mr.. MacDonon visited, and it was at this
place where he died.

CHRISTMAS AT THE THEATER.
A Night Off" a'Play Full of Fun-A
Capital Performance

Capital Performance.
"a Night off was played before small
audience last night, but everybody that
saw the play laughed till their sides ached.
The play is a cleverly written domestic
comedy. "Justina Babbett" professor Of
ancient history in eruption university
writes a drama, "and with the assistance OF
Marcus Brutus Snap," an itinerant
playwright, succeeds in accomplish
ing its production in the face Of the opposi-
ton Of his wife, Mrs. Zantippe Babbitt,n
of whom he stands greatly in awe. The
shifts to which the learned "Justiniaa" is
put to create deal of merriment, and when
the drama" meets with ignominious failure
and Mrs. Babbitt" becomes aware of her
husbands folly, a rich scene follows.
Mr.. George CASTOR personated dustin
ian Babbitt," while Mrs. Z. A. Eberle made
an excellent "Zantippe Babbitt" Mr. c. j.
Burbage played the actor for all IL was worth,
and he got good deal out OF the part. The
company is a good one throughout, and the
play is one of the funniest that has been
seen here this season. A Christmas matt
nee will be given to-day. and tho conclud-
ing performance tonight. A better play
for Christmas after-dinner performance
could hardly be asked for. It Is full of fun
from beginning to end.
