viii be seen that 1t Is quite an advantage to
have Christmas fall on Sunday.
Tomorrow will be the legal holiday. All
government and public buildings, banks,
offices and places Of business will be closed,
and there will be few people who will not
have their time at their own disposal.
The railroads have given holiday until
Tuesday morning to all their clerical and
shop forces, and to every man In other de-
partments who could possibly be spared
Only passenger trains and freight trains for
moving perishable freight viii be run. In
fact. the movement OF all freights viii be
very light until after New Years day.
Christmas eve was all hustle, hurry and
confusion. Crowds filed the streets and
stores all day long making their last pur-
chases and laying In stores OF good things
for to-day. Many a tired gift seeker was
glad when the day ended. The worry
OF selecting presents for large
number of friends and relatives
even with full pocket book, which is by
preciated by those who have undergone the
experience of the last few days. IL viii be
more than atoned for, however, by the
pleasure obtained from witnessing the en-
1oymeut Of others to-day.
Last night the streets were filed
with belated shoppers and merry makers
and everywhere the noise OF the horns and
firecrackers filed the air. Bonfires blazed
in all the squares and there was consider
able display of fireworks. Most Of the boys
saved their barrels aud fireworks for to-
morrow night, however, when the grand
display viii take place.
The crowds seemed good-natured, but
nevertheless the Red Maria" was kept busy
for several hours, taking In DRINKS. Its
most frequent destination was the market
where pandemoniuD reigned supreme. The
police reported twenty arrests at the bar
racks this morning at o'clock, about
evenly divided between white and black.
They were all for plain DRINKS and firing Off
hrecrackers north Of Liberty street con-
trary to the ordinance. Only few were
arrested for the latter offense, as in 90 cases
out OF 100 1t was matter of utter impossi-
bility for the police to ascertain the mischief
makers.
Hundreds OF people left the city last night
TO spend Christmas in the country and
neiRhboring towns with relatives. The ma
1ority were young men employed in the
railroad offices and wholesale houses, proba-
bly, more than half Of these employees being
newcomers to the city.
To-day being Sunday IL is TO be hoped
that the list Of Christmas casualties will be
much smaller than usual
The De Soto hotel will not have it's regu-
lar Christmas dinner until tomorrow, but
IL is safe to say that the guests will have no
reason to complain on that score.

The Day VIII be Religiously Cele-
brated altogether.
To-day will be one Of the quietest Christ
masses in years. Fireworks and bonfires
and other hilarious sports will be barred on
account OF the Sabbath. The churches will
be the great center OF attraction and it
il is safe to say that more
people will attend church In Savannah to-
day than have done so on any one Sunday
for the last three years. Great preparations
have been made for the day, the churches
have been deliberately decorated, special pro-
grammes OF music have been prepared and
the services will be very attractive and well
worth attending.
There is every promise OF a lovely day
and it is fair 70 presume that it will prove
equally enjoyable as il il had fallen upon
any other day of the week. Everybody will
have a chance to enjoy a Christmas dinner
at home and take things easy and there will
be little inducement for rude outdoor sports

SHOT IN TIE ARM.

The Result of a Christmas Drunk
Among Negroes.
The Christmas festivities yesterday were
characterized generally by peaceful cele-
bration. The only serious difficulty reported
was q shooting scrspe which occurred be-
tween two negroes on West Broad street,
near Congress street lane. George Coleman
and Nathan Coley gos into quarrel at the
place mentioned with the result that Cole
man finally drew his pistol and shot at
Coley. The bullet struck Coley just under
the left arm, but only flesh wound was in
fiicted
Coleman ran away as soon as he did the
shooting, but a policeman who was attracted
by the report OF the pistol captured him.
Both men were drunk, and had been fast
friends, and the disturbance between them
was the result Of whisky. Coley's wound
was attended to and he will not be seriously
inconYsnienced.

Mr.. George s. Van Horn, agent Of the
Mutual Cooperative Associations store, at
Barnard and State streets, was nicely COM
plimented last night. At $50 O'Clock he
was called upon by the directors Of the COM
pany. headed by Assistant Superintendent
A. A. Aveilhe Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, who, in a brief speech,
presented Mr.. Van Horn with handsome
silver tea service. Mr.. Van Horn was 80
taken by surprise that he was unable to say
anything, but it was evident that be APP
prsciated the compliment.
The Mutual Cooperative Association
is composed of employees of the
Savannah Florida and Western Railway
Company. IL is a separate organization,
but somewhat 10 the nature of an off-shoot
Of the Employees Mutual Relief Association
of the same company. The tea service is
an evidence Of the appreciation of the
directors and members OF the association Of
the ability with which Mr.. Van
Horn has conducted the affairs OF the
association as agent OF ita store.
