Grace Sunday School Celebrates Its
AnniVersarY.

Grace Church Methodist Sunday school
celebrated its 10Th anniversary last night.
The church was crowded with members
of the school and congregation. The dec
orations were simple, yet beautiful. In
side the altar rail were bouquets and bas-
kets of lilies and roses. From the chan
deliers hung rose-decked baskets of
moss.
The school occupied the front pews off
the main and side aisles and the infant
class sat in the choir. The pastor of the
church, Rev. w. +. Smith, Mr. r. B. Rep
pard, president of the state Sunday
school association, and the officers of the
school sat inside the altar rail. The
school marched into the church from the
Sunday school room singing the pro-
cessional, "a Shout in the Camp"
Following it the song "A Whole Wide
World" was sung. After that the creed
was recited by the superintendent and
school. Then came the scripture lesson
by the pastor and the presentation of
banners. This was pretty feature of the
exercises. The banners were presented
by the classes to the superin-
tendent and were ranged on each
side of the pulpit making a pretty sight.
After the presentation the song Sun
shine in My Soul'' was sung. Miss Annie
Valleau recited eff We Would"
The pastor gave a short practical talk to
the school, and after it came the re-
spOnsive exercises by the infant
class, a solo by little Lizzie Francis
and ''The Golden Gate" by
fourteen little ones. After the
song Beautiful Robes" the exercise
Building the Ladder" was participated
in by eighteen children, and was fol-
lowed by the song 1.-THE Lights of Home"
Supt. GeOrgeP. Virgins then submitted
his report, which showed the prosperous
condition of the school and it's outlook for
future work.
, The song Coming Victory and the
Yaledictory by Lizzie Francis, followed by
the benediction and doxology, closed the
exercises.
Grace Sunday school was organized as
the New Houston Street Sunday school
sixteen years ago, and has become one of
the most Furnishing Sunday schools
in the city. It's officers are:
Rev. W. T. Smith, pastor; George p.
Virgins, superintendent; w. L. Mingle-
dortf, first assistant superintendent; w.

tendent; Mrs, r. j. Spier, lady superin-
tendent; d. B. Rustin, secretary; w. A.

THAT INVESTIGATION.
Dispositions Of the Central officials to
Be Taken To-day.

To-day is the day set by the order of
Judge Jackson for taking the de-
positions of Receiver Conner, Supt. Wad-
ley, Maj. w. F. Shellman and Mr. Ed
ward Mcintyre before Master in Chancery
George w. Owens.
The hearing will begin this morning at
u o'clock and will take place in the
United States court room. 1t will con-
tinue from day to day until Mr.. Calhoun
and Mr.. King have all the testimony they
desire in regard to the allegations con-
tanned in the bill of Alexander Brown &
Sons, asking for the removal of Mr..
Conner and the appointment of a new re-
ceiver, in which case Simon Borg & Co.
are intervenors.
Mr.. Alex. G. King was asked about the
scope of the investigation last night, and
said what they desired to get at was the
manner of the management and admins
tratiOn of the property under the receiv-
ershlp. 1t seems that il will go into the
details of the management of the prop
erty since the appointment of Mr.. Gomez
as receiver, and in view of the fact that
the attorneys have an order to get the
testimony they require, signed by Judge
jackson, the interrOgatOries promise to
go more into detail and to be perhaps
more interesting than was the testimony
gathered by the interrogatories put by
Mr.. Henry Crawford in his examination
OF Mr.. Conner some weeks ago.
Il don't know for sure,n said a we'll
known railroad attorney last night, "but
l am under the impression that the
Nancy Hanks will figure in that investi-
cation which is to take place tomorrow. !"

NO DEFAULT IN WAGES.
The Latest Rumor About the Contra

The Latest Rumor About the Central
Without Foundation.
The rumor that the Central railroad
had defaulted in the payment of April
wages to it's mechanical and laboring
forces is denied. Paymaster Robertson
began paying of the men last
Friday and is continuing the work daily
All the shop forces, with the exception Of
two men, who have failed to show up, he
says, have received their money.
There was temporary delay yesterday
in paying Off some of the laborers, and
this probably gave rise to the rumor Mr..
Robertson says all the men will be paid
in full by the end of the week, and no no.
tice has been posted that the Central
would announce later its pay day for
April wages"
About 200 mechanics in the Savannah
shops are affected by the three-quarter-
day rule which the Central put into force
last Monday This means a saving to the
road of $500 hours per week, which, av-
eraged at 80 cents an hour, amounts to
over 81, 100 reduction in the weekly pay
roll. The three-quarter time will proba-
bly, prevail during the summer. It has
been put in force in all the shops of the
Central throughout the state

WATER WASTE mUsT STOP.
The Sanitary Inspectors to Repor
Violators Hereafter.

The Sanitary Inspectors to Report
Violators Hereafter.
A meeting of the water committee Of
the city council was held yesterday after
noon. 1t was determined to docket peo-
pie for the useless waste of water. The
sanitary inspectors will be instructed to
report all cases where water is allowed
to flow continuously without reason, and
all brealages in pipes which owners of
property fail to repair within reason
able time after having been notified.
Alderman Cam said this step is neces-
sary during the summer, when the water
supply is taxed more than any other sea-
son. The new works are pumping be-
tween 100000 and 100000 gallons
daily, but the committee says that is no
reason why people should waste water
unnecessarily. Savannah has been very
lenient in this respect heretofore, but in
the future people will have to be more
careful with their water supply if they
wish to avoid the necessity of having to
appear in the police court.

MATRoN Or HOSPITAL.
Commissioners Think Female Luna
tics Should Have One or the Other.

commissioners Think Female Luna
tics Should Have One or the Other.
The recent alleged unfortunate occur
renee at the county Jail is arousing con-
siderable discussion as to the necessity of
a jail matron to look after the female
prisoners confined there for lunacy, or the
selection of some other place for their de-
tentiOn pending transfer TO the asylum.
County Commissioner Kehoe is in favor
of jail matron unless other arrange
ments can be made. The recent affair, he
said, would not havehappened if proper
person had been in charge to care for the
Grimes child, and it would be well to pro-
vide against such contingencies in the
future by the presence of a matron.
Commissioner Carson's idea is on a line
with that written up by the MORNING
News several months ago, the building of
a temporary asylum, a hospital on the
county lands for the insane II think, ="
said he, "the building ought to be CON
structed when the work on the new con-
Wet camps begins. The hospital could be
built in connection with one of the camps
where the inmates would always be under
the direct supervision and protection of
the guards. l propose to work to this
end in the board and believe other COM
missioners are of the same mind The
Jail is not the proper place to confine in
sane people and any kind of a temporary
hospital would be far preferable"
The county has authorized Sheriff
Roman to provide nurse for the Grimes
child. The colored female convicts get
tired of the Job, and prefer being sent to
the gang rather than staying in confine-
ment as nurses.

A Suit Against the A. j. Miller Com.
pany for Burned Furniture.


pany for Burned Furniture.
The suit of Louis Lippman against
the A. j. Miller Company for the recov-
cry of the value of certain furniture
burned while intrusted to the company
for safe-leeping, was begun in the city
court yesterday. Mr.. Lippman, when
leaving the city, turned over furniture
worth about $500 to the Miller company
to be repaired and stored until his return,
but during his absence the establishment
was burned.
Mr.. Lippman demanded the value Of the
furniture, but the company denied liza
bility, claiming the stock was not insured.
At O'Clock last night when the court
adjourned, Maj. p. w Meldrim, one of
the counsel for the Miller company. was
arguing for non-suit on the ground that
the bailee could not be held responsible
for the work of the fire, and because no
agreement as to the insuring of Mr.
Lippman's furniture had been entered
into. r. r. Richards, Esq, and w. r.
Leaken, Esq, represent Mr.. Lippman,
and Garrard Meldrim & Newman and

The report that e. J. Cranes jewelry

attempt on his part to have A. NJ.
Mcguire, q mulatto, arrested for cheat
ing and swindling About week ago
Mcguire called at Cranes store, repre-

asked for a loan of 80 cents to make up
50 fee to get his horse out of the
pound. Crane gave Mcguire the money,
but afterward found out the fellow had
lied and worked the same racket on
others.
Crane saw Mcguire Monday for the first
time since the transaction and endeavored
to have him arrested, but the policeman
appealed to referred the 1eweler to a
magistrate. Later in the day another one
of Maguire's victims had him arrested on
a charge of cheating and swindling, and
