ST. PATRICKs CHURCH.
At St. Patrick's there was early mass
celebrated by Father Quinlan, and at $50
o'clock high mass was celebrated by Father
Bazln, followed by the ''Benediction. ="
Carl Trageo's mass was sung. The chorus
choir did creditable work throughout,
though it was not strong numerically. The
solos by Mrs. Altick, Messrs. Donovan,
Dumas and Loughead were especially well
rendered. The voice Of Mrs. Altick, the
leading soprano, is one of the sweetest ever
heard i'll the rendition of the famous masses
In the passages requiring either powerful
or subdued expression, her voice is superior
to every demand.
The "Adeste Fidelis" arranged for a solo
and chorus, was sung in manner that
evidenced thorough sympathy with the
religious emotion as expressed in the grand
old Christmas hymn. Father Balm preached
sermon appropriate to the day. The mass
was attended by large congregation.

that he was on West Broad street, near Bay
street, and happened to see a man with
whom he had on one occasion a quarrel,
and he halloed to him to come across the

LAwRENCE's QUIET XMAS.
Where He Spent the Day is Not e
actly Known.


actly Known.
George Lawrence did not spend all, or
any part of Christmas day in Jail. When
he waved his adieu Monday to Sergt. Lee,
who did not know Of the man, much less
that he was aprisoner of City Court Bailiff
Constantine, Lawrence walked leisurely
until he had passed the window where the
officer was seated, and then he must have
struck out for the tall timber, for he has
neither been seen nor heard from since. He
did not even trouble himself to call for his
trunk and valise at the Pulaski house.
Where Lawrence has gone is of course
conjectural, but as he makes speciality of
the show agency business, it is thought that
it will be only few DAYS when he will
turn up somewhere in Florida or South
Carolina, under a new alias, as a representa-
tive of one of the many shows on the road,
trusting TO luck to get out of the town
before he is suspected
The doings of Lawrence will furnish a
theme for jokes for some time to come. One
of the best stories told in connection with
his visit to the court house to arrange for
the license for his show is that told on a
member of the board of county commits
sioners, who happened to be present
when Lawrence called on County Clerk
Dillon. The agent was very liberal
in promises of free passes, and said he
would send the commissioner all the passes
he could use. That gentleman thanked him
in advance for his profound courteses, but
requested Lawrence to leave the tickets with
Capt. Dillon, at the court house, and not
send them to his house, because his wife
was opposed to his going to circuses.

Told in Brief MISUNDERSTANDING at
olice Headquarters.
The latest thing in the way of novelties
in glass is veritable revolver, which SC
far as it has been introduced in Savannah
is used as a flask for red liquor.
John Stone, young man, was taken to
st. Joseph's Infirmary day or two ago in
an insenslble condition, the result of opium
eating. He says that he has been a slave to
the drug for the past twelve years. Two
pieces OF opium were found in his pockets
larger than hen egg.
A colored man attempted to get off of
car No. on the Coast Line railroad yester-
day on Habersham street, between State
and President streets, while the car was in
motion and fell, and was dragged some dis
lance before the car was stopped. He was
not much hurt, however.
The employees of the. mechanical depart
ment of the Central railroad in this CITY
were notified ON Saturday that they would
have holiday until Thursday. 1t was not
a very pleasant Christmas greeting as three
days holiday represents considerable de-
ductlon in months wages.
There are seventy-three prisoners in the
the jail. They had the usual fare yester-
day, and as singing is prohibited on account
of the noise, which might be used as cover
for some of the penitentiary birds to try to
work their way out, Christmas day at the
Jail was as uneventful as any other day of
the year.
There was no holiday yesterday for the
employees of the Southern Express Com
pany judging from the number of the COM
pany's wagons that were going about the
city distributing Christmas presents which
had been intrusted to their care. 1t is
doubtless pleasant to play Santa Claus. but
it is doubtful whether expressmen take that
view of the case

JACKS FAVORITE HOLIDAY.

The Shipping Bright with Bunting and
Flags
Christmas is favorite holiday with Jack.
He rallies with tremendous energy for a
'full day. and it is doubtful whether any
one can more thoroughly enjoy a gener-
Gus dinner than the briny loiterer from the
high seas.
There was very little movement in ship
number of about sixty, were princi-
pally decorated with their ma
tional colors and signal bunting
Among those most gaily decorated
was the yacht Sycamore of Provide ce,
r. l.. which lay off Willink's railway, op-
posite the exchange dock. Among other
bunting she flew the gay colors of the New
York Yacht Club. The two British steam
ships earn Brea and the Benbrack, which
lay abreast at Paulsens wharf: the revenue
cutter Boutwell,, anchored off the foot of
Montgomery street; several German, Nor
wegion and Spanish vessels; the steamers
of the Ocean Steamship Company,
the pilot boats, the Tow Boat
Company's boats and the river steamers all
had flags flying, but it was noticeable fea-
ture of the shipping, and led to rather
uncomplimentary remark, that there was
an absence of bunting on the American
schooners in port. and to surmises whether
poverty or indifference caused them to
show nothing but bare poles when other
vessels were SO profuse in their display of
colors.
On board the vessels Christmas repasts
were set for the crews, the market having
been heavily drawn upon for turkeys,
roasting pigs and great launches of beef,
the roast of beef being favorite dish with
the hardy Norwegian and the bold Briton,
and the plum pudding was washed down
with 'arf-and'arf under the red ensign Of
more than one flag of st. George.

ALMOST A RIOT.
What Came of Quarrel Between a
White Boy and Colorbsd Boy.


White Boy and a Colored Boy.
Nothing but the prompt appearance upon
the scene Of two policemen, backed by a
strong force of white citizens, prevented d
riot in the ''Old Fort" on Randolph street,
between Broughton and South Broad
streets, yesterday afternoon. A little son
of Hugh Rooney, who resides at No. 43
Randolph street, was playing in front of
the house with his Christmas wagon, when
in play it collided with the wagon of a
colored boy about the age of the white lad.
The negro boy picked up brickbat and
struck young Rooney, knocking him down,
and when he recovered he retaliated
by striking the negro with an oyster shell,
which inflicted wound that bled freely
This infuriated the negroes, who started for
the child. The mother ran to her child's
rescue.
The angry negroes, principally women,
but among whom were some of the toughest
of the many tough characters of the "Old
Fort" under the influence of liquor, started
to raid the house with clubs and missiles
Mrs. Rooney got in the house, and hurriedly
closing it, fled out the back way with her
son, neighbor hurrying across the street
to place of safety with Mrs. Rooney'S i'll
FAINT.
The mother made her way to the house Of
Mr.. John Kelly, at Broughton and East
Boundary streets. He promptly sent in
call to police headquarters for help, and
without waiting for the police to arrive, he
hurried to the scene of the trouble. and was
recruited by strong force of determined
white citizens, Officers Henry Smith and
Dan Sullivan appearing on the ground only
a moment later.
When a MORNING NEWS reporter reached
the scene of the trouble the negroes were
dispensing, and as the party attacked was
not there to identify any of her assailants,
no arrests could be made. The white men
were very determined. and they gave the
police to understand that they would not be
at the mercy of a mob, as in Yamacraw on
Thanksgiving day, but if crisis came
it would be met with stern meas
ures. This had a wonderful effect
in dispensing the negroes, those who lived
in the neighborhood going in and closing
their doors. In half an hour Mrs. Rooney
returned home, and Mr.. Kelly and his son
and other friends remained with her until
her husband returned from Thunderbolt,
where he was in attendance upon the races.
1t was the general impression among his
friends that if Rooney had been at home
there would have been some broken heads,
and the affair might have had less hope
full termination.

1t was bright day for the little ones in
the orphan asylums and homes. Good

copal Home, at the corner of Jefferson and
Liberty streets, was full OF bright, happy

made the day as pleasant for the children
as possible. "We have twenty-four little

mas was observed as usual there. The
board of managers sent in a nice
dinner. Turkey was served with

There were numbers of visitors at all of

Services Made Impressive by Fine
Music and Elaborate Decorations.
The morning service at Christ church
was well attended, and the joyous and
exuberant enthusiasm for Christs natal
day appeared to be the animating purpose
of all worshipers. The festoons of ever
greens around the chancel and galleries
were tastefully arranged. There was more
than the usual display of flowers on and
around the altar. In the center window
over the altar was symbolic star Of
Bethlehem.
Rev. K. H. Cooley conducted the SER
vices, which were largely musical and
choral.
The noticeable musical selections were the
"Glorian by Tours, the TIE Deum by
Holden and the Jubilate Dec by Buck.
Taken altogether the music was well rem
dered and the singing was of quality such
as is rarely heard in Savannah
churches. The offertory, "a trio
by Nicolai, was especially beautiful.
1t is one of those peculiarly expressive
strains of sacred melody which is instinct
with religious feeling and fervor. There
are in the composition but few florid pas
