TIE FAIR A BIG SUCCESS
An Offset to the Prevailing Opinion
That There il O Money StrinRency.

An Offset to the Prevailing Opinion
That There il O Money StrinRency.
Any one who has been laboring under
the impression that money is or has been
stringent in Savannah, ought to have their
minds disabrsed by the results Of st.
Patrick's church fair.
The fair was inaugurated two weeks ago,
and the managers expect TO realize between
5000 and 10000 clear Of all expenses.
The voting contests Melted over s., 500, and
the tables and booths expect TO turn in in
the neighborhood Of &, 900 besides.
These facts do not bear out the claim that
there hiss been money stringency of any
appreciable extent IN Savannah. It has
been the most successful fair held IN this
city for many years, and 30 far exceeded
the anticipations OF the iuapgurators that
they can hardly realize it. The cost Of the
articles which Melted the 50, 500 is easily
covered by $500.
There was a considerable crowd Of people
at the fair last night TO watch the dispose
ton OF the various articles
At the 5. 7. A. table, VIM. F. Bradley
was given dressing case, Andrew McCor-
mick sachel bag, W. J. Smith fan,
Thomas Roman a pair of silver napkin
rings J. NJ. Donogh pair of vases, Mrs.
James Collins a stove, Bishop Becker a
large landscape scsne, NJ J. O'Leary a
flower basket and pair of fine shoes, and
Andrew Mccormick pair Of silver napkin
rings.
At the Excelsior table ton Of coal was
given TO Mrs Wilson, sofa rest TO Miss
Emma DAILY, head rest to p. Barrett, a
silver fitting pitcher to Joseph II. Smith,
and plush hat rack to Thomas Nugent.
The Sunday school table drew a big
crowd ON account Of the settlement Of the
contest for the baby's outfit, which has
attracted great attention since the opening
of the fair. Capt. George Savage OF the
steamship DeSsoug finally secured the
prize, much to the Disappointment
of many people who had
better opportunity for the use of the articles.
Charles Pritchard was given a blue lamp,
Miss Katie Corish ton of coal, Miss Rosa
Kelly ladies' dressing case, Miss Nellie
Delaney blue plush chair, M. A. O'Byrne
a white rug and s. s. Freidlein fruit cake.
At the supper table J. R McKnnon was
given fruit cake.
The bride doll, at the excelsior table, to
be voted TO the most popular miss, was Sc
cured by Philomena Gassman, who brought
in sl28. Mamie began came next with 500,
and was followed by Mamie Fallon with
SAL, Angie Hanley with 1856 and Mamie
Baker with sl7. Joe Kelly got the gold
headed cane at the same table for the most
popular boy. About $50 was realized on
the article.
Deans Parlor Minstrels will give free
performance tonight at o'clock. All
articles not disposed OF I'm the regular way
will be sold at auction tonight,

RECRUITING FoR THE ARMY.
The Enlisting officers Not Overrun
With Applicants.

w lSh
Lieut.. c. P. Terrett put in yesterday in
examining applicants for enlistment in the
United States army at the recruiting rem
devious on Broughton. There were eleven
applicants-four white and seven col
ored--of whom nine were re-
jected and two enlisted, both Of
the enlistments being colored men. Both
Of them we're below medium hight, but
were well put up.
A young white man, a fine specimen
physically. who passed all other require
ments, was rejected because the little toe on
his left foot overlapped the adjoining toe.
Overriding" toe, it is called, and is said to
very quickly disable q man in marching. A
man is searched for every possible defect
before he is enlisted in the United States
army. Besides being free from all disease
and perfect physically he must be fairly in
telligent, and be able to give certificate of
good moral character.
In the afternoon Lieut.. Terrett read the
articles OF war to the two colored recruits.
after which he swore them in to the service
Of the United States. The would-be soldiers
opened their eyes In astonishment at the
formidable phrases of the articles
OF war, and were not little terrified at the
frequent recurrence of the expression,
"Shall suffer death or such other punish
menC as the court-martlal may prescribe"
1t was explained to them that the
death penalty is not inflicted
except in time Of war. The two
recruits leave for Augusta this morning
In charge of Corpl Kilmer. From Au-
gusta they will be sent on Immediately, in
company with five others, to the Columbus
barracks in Ohio.
Lieut. Terrett says he thinks the recruit
ing rendezvous here will prove sue.
cess. He has had forty-six applicants
since the rendezvous was opened, of
of whom forty were rejected and six en-
listed. Only one white man has been en-
listed.
Lieut.. Terrett says that he is surprised at
the small number of white men who have
applied. The negroes are the only
ones that have the army fever,
it seems. He says there seems
to be an idea prevalent here that negroes
and whites are all massed together in the
army, which is not the case. There is a
greater demand for white recruits than for
colored.
Lieut.. Terrett left for Augusta last night.
He will return to Savannah Feb. 12. Two
corporals are in charge of the rendezvous
during his absence, who will receive and
examine applicants

called in the superior court yesterday
morning. James Hamilton, another negro,
was the prosecutor. He was discharged
from the pest house on Wednesday, where
he had been for several weeks. When Judge
Falligant heard this he announced that he
would postpone the case.
Solicitor Fraser replied that he had
Hamilton outside, ready 20 give evidence if
the judge wished to proceed with the trial,
but Judge Falligant said he was in no
hurry, and would reassign the case for a
later date. Everybody in the court room,
even the prisoner, seemed to cheerfully ac>
quiesce in the decision of the judge. Nelson
has had two trials already, the jury failing
to agree each time.
