The Way Savannah Party Did Up
Street Car Conductor.

The Way a Savannah Party Did Up
Street Car Conductor.
"Well, sir, we did up street car con-
ductor the other night in a manner that
would have tickled you" said a well-known
young man last night.
Howl Well, I'll tell you. There were
three or four of us in our party, and we had
spent the afternoon tramping around the
country beyond the White Bluff road and
were as dusty and tired as tramps. Toward
dusk we strolled into the city just in time
to catch a car. The conductor eyed us sus-
piciously as we got on the car, and it en-
tered our heads to do him.
Its blamed long walk from South
over said one of our party.
"'But a longer walk from jacksonville
said another in an undertone, but loud
enough for the fare collector to hear
The conductor was standing in the door but
he stepped out on the platform to cool. Our
conversation continued. six in our family
was too much for me and pulled up my
stakes said one of our number. Its a
shame said another, but | was forced to
wear Off the clothes that my brother died
in
I'm sick moaned another. The door
closed gently, and we were to ourselves. The
car bowled along, and people might have
halloed their threats sore, but they would
have been unable to stop the car. When
we reached our getting-off place, the bell
line was pulled and the car came to a dead
stop. As we left the car the conductor and
driver stood on the front platform peeping
through the window, at us and breathed
sigh of relief when we dismounted. No fare
was collected"

A moment later a hundred couples are
gliding over the floor in one of those waltzes
peculiar 10 the east side. 1t continues for
half an hour. Mr. Mud Hatton is at this time
on the floor dancing with fair dansel
conspicuous in chip nat with a big feather
and glowing scarlet jersey. There is but
another couple left on the floor. After q
few more turns the floor manager calls a
halt.
Ladies an gentS,n he announces, dds
ere dance is a draw between Tommy Muir
ray aud Mud Hatton. Der 'cordeea II be
danced fer agin."
A moment later and the liveliest kind of
free fight is in progress, which ends in the
light being put out and the ball being
broken up. Ten minutes later Mr.. Hatton,
pretty badly broken up, accompanying the
girl with the red jersey, is to be seen going
down the Bowery

an we've got der cord een."
1t may be Mr.. Hatton's evil genius that
draws him back to the saloon of his enemy

Perhaps it was something else. But by
some means be gets there. Ten minutes
after he gets there the policeman on the
beat hears glasses smashing and knows
there is fight on hand A moment later
Mr.. Hatton is fired out of the saloon with
wonderful velocity, and before he can go
back the blue coat has him and the Whyo's
days work is ended.
AS he rolls peacefully over on the floor
of his cell preparatory to going to sleep, he
saws to himself:

THE NEW CHANCELLOR.
Sketch OF Rev. DR.. Boggs, the Uni
versity's New Head.

Sketch of Rev. DR.. Boggs, the UNI
versity's New Head.
Rev. w. E. Boggs, DID,, who was elected
Chancellor of the University of Georgia on
Saturday, is brother-in-law of Gen. e. P.
Alexander of this city, and of Gen. A. r.
Lawton. DR.. Boggs was born in India
where his parents we're laboring as
missionaries. His youth was spent
in South Carolina. After serving with
distinction in the southern army during
the war DR.. Boggs went to Memphis.
His charge there was one of the largest and
wealthiest Presbyterian congregations in
the city. He remained in Memphis during
the cholera and yellow fever scourges, and
by his heroic service among the poor and
the sick and tie panic stricken he acquired
a wonderful popularity in that city.
He left Memphis after all danger was
over to accept the charge of the Central
Presbyterian church in Atlanta. He re-
manned in Atlanta for three or four years.
and under his charge his church fourished
and strengthened.
DIR. Boggs went from Atlanta to the
Presbyterian seminary in Columbia, S. C.
The change involved pecuniary sacrifice,
but the seminary needed just such presi-
dent, and DR.. Boggs went there He re-
manned there until the Woodrow matter
came up in the Presbyterian synod of South
Carolina, and then went back to his old
charge in Memphis.

Wise SuCg eStions.

Your timely editorial in to-day's issue,
in regard to DR.. Duncan's resolution about
the necessity of an early commencement of
the sanitary work to be done in this city,
gives our citizens full warning, and ad-
vises them of the course they must pursue
to insure the people health and happiness.
The time has come for US to be up and
doing, each aud every one of us, rich and
poor, and be ready to meet and keep away
sickness. Money spent as DIR. Duncan sug-
gests, in house drainage, will do the work
thoroughly. and we will have no fear of
pestilence
The expenditure of money In this direction
by the city will give satisfaction, and be
acceptable to all the inhabitants. The city
officials must keep DIR. Duncan's wise ad-
vice and suggestions before them no longer,
hut "actn at once, and commence the good
work. / am sure that your valuable TAPER
will d all it can, as it mas always, to keep
the facts before the people, and urge them
toitake warning and act well their part,
thereby giving health and prosperity to our
dear old CITY, D.

Late Saturday afternoon, as William w.
Gnann was turning the corner of Drayton
into Bryan street, in his buggy. his horse
became frightened and started on a run
up Bryan street. Mr.. Gnann, in trying to
check his horse, broke one of the reins and
pulled the animal TO one side of the street,
and the vehicle came in collision with a
tree in front of the National Bank of Sa-
vannah and was completely demolished.
Mr. Gnann was precipitated headlong into
the wreck and received several severe
bruises. His back was spraned, and he

a paying church. Her members must de-
liver up their offerings, be it small or
great.
Mr.. Rogan's congregation, he was glad to
saw, was not neglectful Of its duty in this
respect. These were tGe necessary adjuncts
to the strength Of church. He regretted
to say, however, that many churches do not
possess them. There is a growing tendency
for churches to discuss the scientific ques-
tions OF the day They are narrowing the
scope between them and the world. They
are nearly on footing with the world. A
deplorable feature of the case, the preacher
said was that the world is not rising to the
church, hut the church is retrograding to
world.
The speaker concluded by an earnest
appeal to the church, that through the
mercy of God, she should awake and put
on her strength.
Next Saturday will be communion day
at the First Presbyterian church. Prepar
atory service will be held on Friday.

His Return.


His Return.
Rev. J. w. Rogan, after an absence Of
several weeks in the north, preached at the
First Presbyterian church yesterday He
said that he was glad to be back with his
people. ISAIAH H., /, was his text: Awake,
awake; put on thy strength, o Zion"
This is a warning to the church." he
said. "There is a growing impression in
the world that we are plunging deeper and
deeper into sin; that the more enlightened
the age, the more sinful the people Is it
truei l am not one OF tue kind TO look on
the dark side, but the church should exam
Inc herself. She should awake. She should
put Oh her strength aud be strong"
The preacher said that in order for a
church to be strong she must be systematic.
Her members must be prompt mt her call,
laying aside every work and doing her bid
ding. Not only must the church be
systematic, but she must DE pure. Nothing
Is gained without purity Of purpose Her
members must not be christians in name
only, but they must be jealous in all good
work during their masters pleasure. They
must be workers Their connection with
the church only places them in position
where they may be useful aud beneficial 10
their fellow man. They must labor and be
sacrificing. A church to BIO strong must DO

Streets Lighted.

Streets Lighted.
East Savannah has been showing more
than ordinary progress this year. The
population has increased until it contains
upward of $50 persons, the great majority
of whom are colored. The people live in
neat-looking. pleasant cottages on large
lots Many Of the residents own their
homes ana take pride in keeping them in
proper grim, and ey have ambition enough
TO make their settlement a city. Their
latest effort has been to get their streets
lighted, aud having organized a committee,
with Benjamin Ficklen (colore6 as chair
man, they have succeeded in raising money
enough TO purchase fifteen street lamp posts,
with gasoline lamps. These lamps were
lighted on Saturday night last for the first
time. The lighting will be continued
throughout the winter. The enterprise
shown by the colored people of East Savan-
nah in this matter is highly commendable
and is worthy Of imitation by other places
of much greater wealth and Importance.
