WEALTHY TRAVEL COMING NOW.
The Vestibuled peclsl to Begin Run
ming Daily To-day.

The Vestibuled peclsl to Begin Run
ming Daily To-day.
Beginning with to-day the New York and
Florida vestibuled special on the Atlantic
Coast Line will run daily instead Of tri-
weekly, as heretofore. The officials Of the
road said at the beginning of the season
that If the travel warranted it the vestibule
would be made daily train.
The high class tourist travel this year has
been very heavy, heavier than ever known
before, it is said by interested observers, and
the vestibule has come in for large patron
age. On the last trip south it carried ITO
passengers. and it has not made single trip
south within a month that it has carried
less than binety passengers. This is what
has caused the vestibule to be made daily.
As the Lenten season has now we'll begun.
the travel southwark of the wealthy and
fashionable people of the northern cities,
who are seeking rest and change, will be
very heavy for some time to come.
The vestibule travel, however, is only a
small portion of the northern people who
have come south this year. The hotel men
report all the Florida hotels crowded with
guests. In fact, they say there are more
northern people In Florida this wear than
any year since that section of country
became famous as a winter resort.
The De Soto has been well filed for
the last month, the arrivals running from
90 TO 100 per day and generally nearer tn e
latter figure than the first. The
De Soto is making great prepar-
atlons IN anticipation Of a very heavy
patronage on the turning of the stream OF
travel northWard

MANNERS IN POLICE COURT.
A Reform in the Way People Conduct
Themselves There.

Reform in the Way People Conduct
Themselves There.
ANY one who has visited the mayors
court during the last few weeks could not
fail to have noticed the remarkable change
which has taken place In the conduct OF
affairs at that tribunal.
This change is due TO Assistant
Chief Of Police Killourhy. Before he took
charge of the court room people were
almost allowed to act as they pleased. The
crowd outside of the railing, which was and
is generally composed of negroes, were
allowed TO carry on conversations, push and
jostle each other, spit on the floor, and
generally carry on as they pleased. 1t was
a common thing to see them leaning over
the railing converting with the prisoners.
A stop has been put to all this no ", and
the utmost order and decorum prevail
Prisoners are kept by themselves aud not
allowed to talk over the rails with their
friends, and the room has the air os court
Of much larger and more important pro-
portions.
Another reform which Assistant Chief
Killourhy has inaugurated, and which is
very noticeable, is the way in which the
officers stand while giving testimony before
the mayor Heretofore they would take
whatever position suited them, with hands
thrown behind their backs or folded, as they
saw fit. The assistant chief, as soon as he
took hold of the court room, gave orders to
officers that they must take the position Of
soldiers in giving their testimony, and it
adds much more 70 the dignity aId appear
ance of things.
Assistant Chief Killourhy is an officer
who believes in putting things at the bar
| racks up to the standard, and up to the
present his reforms speak for themselves.

PHONES IN A MUDDLH.

The Western Circuit Mix I'D Up by the
Burning Out of the Wires.
Telephone subscribers in the western por-
ton OF the city had great trouble yesterday
with their telephones, a large number being
unable to get any connection through the
exchange, nor could they get the attention
of the exchange. At night, a gentleman
who had been trying all day to get con-
neotion over his own telephone got the ex-
change over another telephone and inquired
for the cause Of the trouble.
An examination by the chief operator
showed that the wires of two currents, Nos.
and 3. had been burnt out some time Sat-
urday night by coming in contact with an
electric light wire, thus totally disconnecting
them from the exchange. There were
fourteen telephones on No. current and
nineteen on No. 5, including all the tele-
phones Of the Central Railroad Company's
offices.
from the exchange, all the telephones on
the current were still connected with each
other, and any one, by placing the phone in
his ear and holding down the lever. could
hear all that was said from the
other telephones on that current.
This caused considerable annoyance
in the afternoon. Parties who
we're endeavoring to get connection from
the exchange were answered by some one
purporting to be the exchange operator
with all sorts of replies. This was thought
to come from the exchange and caused
many to believe that the operator
was off his base, which was a
great mistake and an Injustice to the
operator. As some mention was made of
trains and railroad matters by the Offend
ing party it was thought that the bad
language came from some one at some Of
the Central railroad telephones, which may
or may not having been the case.

DR.. vAss INDoRsEs 1T.
He Likes the Way Mayor KcDonou

He Likes the Way Mayor KcDonough
is Doing Things.
In the closing remarks of his sermon on
retributive justice yesterday morning,
Rev. DR.. Vass of the First Presbyterian
church Endorsed the policy of Mayor
McDonough in warm terms
Every christian and every other good
citizen. he said, should uphold the MAYORS
hand and ali him in his endeavor to
enforce the law az he finds it, Every
good citizen, too, Dr.. Vass held,
should ses 10 it that proper laws for the
preservation of the American Sabbath are
preserved and not wiped out for considera-
tions Of personal gain, con venienee or graft
fication. The ships should lie at their docks
unloaded, 9 railway cars should remain
in their sheds, the store doors should con-
tinue locked; the law Of COD should not be
broken and the moral tone of community
lowered, in order that few men may there
by'add TO the profits of their business.
History proved that retributive Justice
fell upon those who violated the divine
commandments. In the past Savannah has
laid herself liable by fragrant disobedienoe
in refusing TO keep the Sabbath holy. Now
that an executive officer has been chosen
strong enough in his conviction of what is
right to enforce the ordinances. he should
be strengthened by the hearty support of all
who have the welfare OF the city and their
fellow men at heart

coNDITIoa OF TIE CROPS.
The Warm Weather Bringing Every
thing Forwsrd-Danger OF a Frost

The Warm Weather Bringing Every
thing Forwsrd-Danger OF a Frost
The warm spell is pushing the fruit trees
and the truck crops. Maj. g. u. Ryals was
asked yesterday what effect the weather
will have finally aud what tine danger Is
from a cold snap. The major is not &c al
worried about the condition Of the crops or
the prospects of damage from GOLD on ac-
count Of forwardness
The large truck farmers" he said, "who
grow principally for northern shipments
and only incidentally for the home market,
plant a succession Of crops and expect TO
get caught once In a while, but don't an
ticipate any great IS. The merket garden
ers who grow great variety of stuff for the
home market are likely to suffer from frosts.
Unless the hot weather is long continued,
causing the plants TO I'LL with sap, there is
not much danger from frosts unless there
should be a very heavy black frost.
There is not much truck to be injured, any
way. Peas and cabbage are about the
only crops forward enough to be injured by
a heavy frost A light frost, Maj. Ryals
said, would do them good. as 1t would
harden them and check the rapid growth.
Maj. Ryals expects to ship peas in two or
three weeks. Last year he made his first
shipment OF peas March 2. On March a
heavy frost killed of everything il sight in
the truck line. March 4 was Sunday, and
there were severe cold and ice, with thu same
thing on the two succeeding Sundays
Beans and cucumbers are not yet planted,
and the tomato plants are in the hot beds
ana cold frames. Potatoes are nearly all
in the ground, but have not yet begun to
grow. The fruit trees are out in full bloom,
but, unless there is severe freeze, Maj.
Ryals thinks there will be a pretty fair
crop of fruit. The season is not unusually
early. The trees are out this time every
year

Taa BRUINS WICK LYNCHINo.
A z. N. @. A. Man Brings Back a Piece
Of the Rope.


A gentleman who had been to Brunswick
in attendance on the Y. M. c. A. conven-
ton brought back with him yesterday
piece Of the rope with which Lewis and
jackson, the negro highwaymen. were
lynched near Brunswick Saturday night
The Young Mems Christian Association
man went out to the scene of the lynching
yesterday morniug and cut off a piece OF
the rope as a relic Both negroes were
hanged with the same rope, and their bodies
riddlsd with bullets.
The gentleman said when he left Bruins
wick at noon the bodies were still
hanging, the trouble being that no one had
been found to hold an inquest The coroner
died last week, and the election does not
come off until next week. There are three
candidates out for the position, and they all
visited the scene of the lynching yesterday
aud examined the bodies of the negroes,
with view to getting them
selves in shape to assume the
responsibilities pertaining to the office
Their appearance on the ground caused
much merriment among the hundreds of
spectators who had gathered to get view
OF the CHASTITY sight. The crowd wanted
the candidates to tell it whether the negroes
died from being shot or hanged or if it was
the result Of providential causes. An enter
prising individual with a kodak managed
to get several views of the dangling bodies.

FEW PLACES WERE OPEN.
TIE POLICE HAvRAN UNUSUALLY
QUIET SUNDAY.

Only One Barroon Found Doing Bust
ness-The Thirsty Population Bushes
to the decentralization Has q
Busy Day-The Druggists Feeling
the Effects Of the Sunday Closing
Ssverely-Intsrest In What the City
Council is Going TO Do.
There was better observance OF the
Sunday law yesterday than heretofore.
The police reported but five pllces for
being open. One Of them was a barroom
and the others are divided up among
various kinds Of business.
The result of the enforcement Of the law
shows itself plainly in the small number Of
Sunday arrests, not over half dozen being
recorded at the barracks yesterday. Before
Mayor McDonough began his crusade
it was the hardest day Of the week for the
police. The negroes and many whites, being
idle. had nothing to do but fill up on bad
whisky, and as a consequence disturbances
were plentiful
The thirsty souls, however, won't let a
little thing like closing the bars interfere
with their getting the red and amber colored
liquids. II costs them a little more, perhaps,
but nevertheless they get it. Thunderbolt
Is their salvation, and the Coast Line did
thriving business yesterday afternoon.
Four street cars were necessary 70 bring in
the crowd from Bolton street at 6 o'clock.
IL is q rem rkable fact how many men
found it necessary to take Sunday afternoon
drives TO Thunderbolt for their health.
THE DRUGGISTS FEEL IT.
The drug stores are feeling the effects of
the new order of things more severely than
any other line of business. On the soda
fountains yesterday hung placards aunounc-
ing 'No Soda Today One store had up
sign which brought smile to every one
who saw it. 1t read: buy your Sunday
Soda and Cigars Tomorrow" A drug
gist, speaking last night about the
prohibition, remarked that 1t was
rather surprising fact that numbers of
people, who ought to have been posted,
called to purchase things they had been In
the habit OF getting on Sunday, and when
told that 1t Ia against the law they appeared
not TO be able to understand how such
things can be. Those people, said the
druggist, ''either don't read the newspapers
or have poor memories, as the stopping Of
our usual sales has been aired quite often.
CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
The hotel clerks we're annoyed TO a con-
siderable extent in answering questions
propounded by guests about their inability
TO buy papers and cigars. When they were
refused these articles nine men out Of every
ten wanted full and detailed account Of
the why's and wherefores of this new order
OF things, and the clerks get rather tired
telling the story over and over again.
About noon yesterday two men went up
70 the desk of the De Soto to buy a paper.
The clerk told them that it was against the
law to sell papers on Sunday, and they
turned of with look Of disgust One of
them said IN a smothered tone: "This is a

1t is probable that there will be a change
next Sunday, as the ordinances now before
the city council will be finally acted on
Wednesday night.

HE BAD THE MONKEYS"
A Policeman's Experience With &
Crazy Negro.

Crazy Negro.
AS Policemen Twitty and Bedford were
passing along William street in Yamacraw
about 3 O'Clock yesterday morning they
were approached by negro woman, who
said her husband was drunk and wa s
trying to set fire to her
house, and begged the officers to
interfere. They went to the woman's
house, one TO the front entrance and one to
the rear.
The officer at the front effected an en-
trance and went through the house to the
back room, where he found
his man. The negro dashed past
him, attired only in his night shirt,
and scrambled up into the attic. The
policeman followed him up, and, as he was
about to grab his man, the negro jumped
out of the attic window to the ground,
twenty feet below. The policeman found
his pantaloons and coat lying by the WIN
dow, where he had dropped them in his
haste. The negro had gone out
into the night with nothing on but his shirt.
He struck the ground by the side of the
policeman in waiting in the rear, and be-
fore the officer could recover from his sur
prise he was going down the alley in q 2:40
gait. clad only in his single garment He
never stopped until he reached West
Broad street.
That fellow had the monkeys" SAID the
policeman in telling about it,

The Ex-Pugllist and Slugger to Charge
on Columbia Tonight.
John L. Sullivan and the muscularIook-
ing crowd OF actors composing the Honest
Hearts aud Willing Hands" company left
last night by the Central railroad for
Columbia, S. c., where they are billed for
tonight.
The ex-pugilist spent the day very oui-
city with several Savannah friends. The
party took in Thunderbolt in the afternoon,
where large crowd stood in open mouthed
admiration and watched the slugger de-
stroy Savannah beer and whisky He was
in good humor and no trouble occurred.
Sullivan made some very uncompIiment-
airy remarks the other night upon the
curious crowds who dog his footsteps, STRAIN
lag their eyes for aglimpse of the champion
fist fighter:
There's always a lot of these dudes and
buffers standing around the hotel offices
and stage doors just to get a look at me, you
see, ana when they hear I am coming, their
eyes almost pop out of their heads They've
come to see the animal, and they expect to
SEQ something about ten feet high aud as
big as house. with face like a bear I
get tired of that sort Of thing, you see."
And the champion emphasized his opinion
with few very emphatic remarks.

BACKED INTO A LOCOMOTIVES.
A Horse Collides With an Engine and
Injuries a Man.

A Horse Collides With an Engine and
Injuries a Man.
What came near being serious accident
occurred Saturday afternoon on River
street, near Farm street. Richard Ohffe
and Jesse Moore were driving in a buggy
toward the Central wharf, when the horse
became frightened and began backing. A
locomotive and train of cars were moving
slowly on the railroad track, and before the
men could get the animal under control he
backed square into the engine. throwing
both Oliffs and Moore out on the cobble-
Stones
Moore escaped without injury, but Oliffe
sustained very painful bruises about his
body. His injuries were dressed by DR.. j.
G. Keller.
The horse attempted to run away, after
backing into the engine, but was caught by
a bystander. Had the locomotive been
running at the usual rate of speed the re-
suits would have been far more serious, and
possibly fatal.
