SUED FOR HIS w AGES.
When Greek Meets Greek Then Comes
tho Tug of War

When Greek Meets Greek Then Comes
the Tug of War.
Justice Sheftall's Office was crowded with
Greeks yesterday. They were at law over
wages, and neither the plaintiff. nor defend
ant spoke word of English.
Antonio Salos, keeper of the fruit stand
at Abercorn and Broughton streets, was
sued by Pano Pavalos whom he engaged
as clerk Sept. l. Salos paid Pavalos' trans
portation from New York to Savannah,
and engaged him for $40 a month.
After being with Salos some
time Pavalos went away, and
he said when he returned Salos would
not take him back. He sued to recover
wages to the amount of SIS. Salos denied
that he refused to employ him.
Salos waSErepresented by w. w. Osborne,
Esq. Peter Sampson was sworn in as IN
terpreter, and the counsel asked questions
and converSed with his client through the
interpreter. Mr. Osborne introduced a
number of witnesses, whose testimony
tended to corroborate the statement of
Salos The attorney argued the case and
the magistrate reserved his decision until
to-day.
George b. Pilgrim Basil, a well-educated
Greek, figured conspicuously in the trial as
friend to Pavalos. He accompanied him
to the magistrates Office and rose up on his
feet to correct the interpreter whenever he
thought that the Interpretation was wrong.
During the trial Thomas Sampson, brother
of the interpreter, bantered Basil, and,
hustling off their coats, they got out
on the streets to settle their differ
ences by a fisticuff. They were not
permitted to come 10 blows. 1t was charged
by Salos and his crowd that Basil put Pava-
los up to suing Salos for wages. One of the
Greeks said, after the trial was over, that a
very bad feeling exists between most of the
Greeks here and Basil.

THE sAvANNAH AND WESTERN.
The Stations Designated and the Deri-
walton of Their Names.

The Savannah and Western railroad is
progressing more rapidly now than for
some time. Chief Engineer d. Y. Dabney
said last night, in an interview with a
MORNING NEWS reporter, that he expects
/ to have 100 hands at work on the line next
week Ellebell, named for the daughter OF
| Col. Morrison at Oak Hill, VIII De reached
! by Nov. l, and there is a probability Of
reaching Sterling by Jan. l.
The greater part of the track is graded,
and rapid progress can now be made II a
large enough force is put on.
Being asked what the length of the line
will be when Sterling, the present terminus,
| is reached, Capt Dabney said: at Is SO
miles from Eden, and 76 miles from Sa-
vsnnab.n
Glow many stations will there beF' Capt.
Dabney was aSked-
''Including Eden junction, there will be
ten stations"
Are they namedF'
eyes. They have. been named, some of
them for the owners Of the land through
which the line extends, and some are named
for the wives and daughters Of the land
owners"
Capt Dabney said that the name of Nor
rison station has been recently changed to
Ellabsll, in honor Of Capt. Morrison's
daughter.
Pembroke, the next station, is named for
Pembroke Williams, a splendid gentleman,
famillarly known by his friends as PENN
Canoochee, the third station, bears the
name of the Canoochee river, being only
a very short distance from the river.
The fourth station is called Conley, the
maiden name of Mrs. Thomas Edwards.
The family IS one of the most prominent In
that section.
Hagan, the fifth station. is named for the
wife OF Mr.. Smith, prominent citizen of
the county.
The name of the sixth station is one
which is familiar to everybody who has
peeped into a history or listened to the
stories of the war 1t is Manassas.
1t does not derive its name from that cole
bratsd battle-ground, however, or at least
not directly from it. 1t is named for Mr..
Manassas Foy, who is said to have been
born on the day the battle of the First
Manassas was fought
Collins is the next station, named in honor
OF one of the most popular men of the
neighborhood.
Ohoopee is the next station. 1t derives
its name from the river of that name.
The last station on the Savannah and
Westerns portion of the road is Sterling,
but it Is not definitely determined whether
the name of Sterling will be retained. 1t il
the meeting point Of the Savannah, Ameri-
Gus and Montgomery railroad and the Sa-
vannah and Western railroad. Both the
names of Mcleod and Sterling are applied
TO it, but which will be accepted remains to
be decided by the two roads meeting there.

THE HOOP OF GOLD.
Busy Cupid Will Make His Mark in
November.

November.
November will be a month prolific of
nuptial events in Savannah. -Four wed
dings are booked for that month. They
are all to be in high life. The contracting
parties are young people, moving in the
first circles, and native Savannahlans As
the schedule now stands the wedding bells
will ring each week of the month. 1t will
be season Of brilliant weddings.
None of the cards are out yet, but the
mails will be- burdened with them the last
week in October Although the marriages
will be among Savannah young folks, it is
understood that large number of visitors
from distance will be present. 1t is also
understood that eminent divines from other
parts of the country will perform some of
the nuptials.
Church weddings promise to be decidedly
the most popular this season. The interior
of the churches will be made as brilliant
and animated as possible sby elaborate dec
orations. The pulpits, chaucel ratings
lecturns and fonts will be almost hidden
under banks of evergreens and tropical
plants, and rare exotics will be silhouetted
in the window recesses, and wherever
their presence will lend adornment to the
surroundings. The chandeliers will be
prettily decorated with costly baskets of
rare plants The choir will catch the JOY
full Infection, and the music will not be-
muffled nor subdued.
Where the wedding ceremony is per-
formed at the home, the parlors, reception
rooms, halls, corridors and dining-rooms
will be deliberately trimmed and
decorated, as the weddings this sea-
son run TO floral decorations. The expense
of fancy-priced carriages will fall only
| on the happy couples that marry at the
churches. This will be heavy expenditure
| in itse,f, but the grooms can ill afford to
parley about the expense incurred on an
occasion which brings to them the greatest
| enjoyment of life.
| All of the couples will tour the north
after the nuptials, returning home in time
| for the HOLIDAYS.

 About the time churchyafds yawn and graves give up their dead the boarding house people sprang from their beds in great alarm, caused by ear-piercing yells coming from the. room occupied by the young man who had taken possession of the dead mans shirt. Between screams he explained that he had been visited by the spirit of the de- parted stonemason, who was violently an- gry because his garment had been used. Of course everybody laughed except the young man, who discarding the spirithaunted dress, laid down and slept peacefully the rest of the night.
 The next night, however, another young man who took no stock in the story borrowed the shirt, and putting it on went to his bed. At about the same hour that the previous disturbance had startled the boarding house. the inmates were again aroused by shrieks and screams of the most terrifying character and in moment afterward the young man. with the haunted shirt in his hand, dashed down stairs as if the devil was after him. and took refuge under table in the kitchen. He, too, had been visited by the former owner of the red shirt, whose anger had been intensified by the second attempt to appropriate his intimate piece of apparel. In the meantime, and pending the appear ance of some one with courage sufficient to meet the enraged spirit of the dead stone- mason, the red shirt had been hung the in pars ret, from whence, it is said, strange, unean- ny sounds come nightly, and the boarding house will soon shut up shop.
