Welded IN SPITE OF PAPA,
James PaTdue and Clarke jeffrey Join
Hands in Carolina.

A Stern Parent Stood in Their Way in
savannah-Tillman's State, Where
No Marriage License Is Needed, Be-
coming Haven for Lovers Whose
Path to matrimony Is Beset With
Difficulties.
The details Of Thanksgiving runaway
match came to light last night in the ar
rival of Mr.. and Mrs. James G. Pardue
from Beaufort on the steamer Alpha at 6
o'clock.
The couple left for Beaufort on the
Alpha at II o'clock Thursday morning.
The brides name was then Miss Clarke
r. Jeffrey. She lived with her father,
John Jeffrey, a drayman, at No. go
Gwinnett street. She is about II years of
age, a dark brunette, and gOod-lOoking.
Mr.. PardUe is timer and is employed
at K. G. Pacetti's tinshop on Jefferson
street. He is 81 years old and has been
paying atten ton to Miss Jeffrey for some
time. Both of the young people had
made up their minds to a marriage, Miss
Jeffrey's father objected, however.
Whether he disliked his would-be son-in-
law or whether he thought his daughter
too young to marry is not known, but
anyway he was opposed 10 the match.
The young people were determined on
marriage, however ana ld1O Lnelr plans
for a Thanksgiving surprise. Thanks
giving being a general holiday they
concluded that their movements were less
likely to be observed than at another
time. So Mr.. Pardue engaged passage
for two and at II O'Clock Thursday morn
ing he and Miss Jeffrey sailed down the
river on their way to that paradise of
Georgia lovers when stern parents in
terpose-South Carolina. They arrived
at Beaufort after dark and Immediately
sought the services of Rev. James w
Kilgo, the Methodist minister, who soon
made them husband and wife. No mar
riage license is required in South Caro-
lima and all that is needed is for a couple
to Join hands and have a minister speak
a few words and the agony is over.
After the marriage the couple went to
the Ocean house, where they spent the
night They left on the Alpha for Sa-
vannah yesterday morning, arriving at g
o'clock, and went at once to the home of
the groom at No. 81 Roberts street.
Leroy Davis, Of this city, friend of the
groOmS was present at the marriage.

CITY BREVITIES.


Yesterday was an off day with the
police, only one case being on the docket
up to o'clock.
Frank Barker's condition remains the
same. At times he has possession of his
mental faculties, but generally he is in
an unconscious state. Barker is the
longshoreman who was injured by fall
ing cotton bale on the steamer Imperial
Prince several days ago.
The material for rebuilding the Tybee
telephone line has arrived and the work
upon the line will begin next week The
line will, probably, be completed before
Jan. /. The lack of telephone communi-
cation with Tybee has been a source of
great inconvenience since the storm 1t
frequently happens that agents OF vessels
are anxious to hear from the vessels at
quarantine, or to know if the vessels have
arrived. The rebuilding of the line will
be welcome addition to the facilities of
the port

STILL HANGING IN COURT.
The Question as to Who Shall APP
point the Steyedore to Load a Vessel.


point the Stevedore to Load Vessel.
Mr.. T. D. Ravenel has just returned
from Baltimore, where he has been to
argue before Judge Morris, of the United
States circuit court there, in behalf of
the defendants, the case of Abram p.
Thompson, master of the schooner Will
lam Nicely, VS.. the Burse Sons g. Co., of
Wilmington. Del
The defendants were the charterers of
the schooner which they sent to Savan-
nah to get cargo from the Georgia Lum-
Der Company. The master reported here
for his cargo, and announced that he
wanted a stevedOre by the name of Sam
Daniels, colored, to load the vessel. To
this the Georgia Lumber Company would
not agree, claiming that Daniels was an
obiectional party, as he had worked for
them before, performing his duties in
most unsatisfactory manner. Capt.
Thompson claimed that he had the right
to name the lstevedore, and would not take
on the cargo unless they would agree to
let Daniels load it. He said Sam or nobody,
and as the Georgia Lumber Company
would not consent to this, THOMPSON re-
manned here his full time, and returned
to Baltimore, where found a cargo be-
longing to the Burse Sons & Co, and at
taChed 1t for time lost here The suit
was pending in the United States admir-
atty court in Baltimore, and the whole
question seems to be as to whether
Thompson had the right or not to insist
on the appointment of certain stevedore
when he was told to name any other reli-
able man, and the appointment would be
satisfactory
The Georgia Lumber Company made
the claim that it had the right to veto any
Objectionable party named by the master,
and while the company was not party to
the proceedings the Burse Company made
their suit out on this line. 1t seems that
1t has been customary here and elsewhere
when a shipper is silent for the master of
the vessel to name the steyedore, but in
this case Thompson, it is said, named the
stevedore he wanted without giving the
shipper any notice whatever Judge Nor
but it will no doubt be interesting to ship
pers and others here to know what is de-
c1ded with regard to who has the right to
name or appoint the stevedore.
1t may be interesting to know that
while the William Nicely lay at the Geor-
gia Lumber Companys wharf Daniels en-
tered the place and was ordered out. He
refused to go, as he stated that he had
been employed by the captain of the YES
sci. He was arrested and prosecuted for
criminal trespass in the city court He
was convicted, and his case was then
taken to the supreme court where the de-
Cision of the lower court was reversed, on
the ground that the wharf of the Georgia
Lumber Company was not such place
as a man was forbidden TO enter under
the criminal trespass statute

THE soUTH's CRACK SHOTS.
The Proposed Rife Tournament 70
Savannah.

Savannah.
There are few cities, if any, in the
country, and probably none in the south,
that have as many crack rife shots as Sa-
yannah
The proposition of the range committee
of the Wheelmen's Track Association, to
give an interstate rifle tournament in the
spring, probably early in May, bringing
together the best shots in the south, will
1t is believed, be adopted by the various
military and civilian marksmen's organi-
cations, and the result will be a tOurna-
ment that has never been cqualled in the
country for sharp shooting
OWING to the membership of the crack
shots Of Savannah in two and sometimes
three and more clubs or Organiza tiOns
which would come into competition in
team shooting, the supremacy of none of
the military companies and the rife clubs
has been established, except, perhaps the
Savannah Rifle Association, the oldest
organization Of its kind in the county.
In the tournament classes will be ar
ranged for both military and civilian or
CARNATIONS, or they may enter in general
competition. The plan is to increase the
range at the park to 300 and perhaps 800
yards for long distance shooting.
There Is very little doubt that Sa-
vannah would hold its own in the tourna-
ment. 1t has dozen or more men whose
shooting on the Massachusetts and Amer
lean targets, both of which are far severer
tests of craftsmanship than the Greed
moor target, will stand in any contest.
Among the best sohts in Savannah are
Z. >: Richmond, DIR. c. A. Wilson. DR.. J.
ID. Martin, j. G.. Postell, d. Y. Dancy
George T. Cam, w. N. Nichols, Capt. J.
p. White, Julian Schley, f. A Cults, J.
L. Shuptrine, A. 5. Eichberg and Harry
Palmer
The championship medal of the Savan-
nah Rifle Association is held by Rich
mond. His record up to Thanksgiving
day on the Massachusetts target was 31S
out of a possible 5000 shots at 200 wards,
an average of 53, made Nov %, 1892.
This record he broke day before yester-
day by a score of pa out
of possible 24O-20 shots. an
average of 5315 His highest score for
hYe shots is IS out of a possible 60 with
four twelves and one ten shot. This
record has never been eXcelled in Savan-
nah though it was equalled by w n
Nichols, DR.. j. d. Martin and DR. Wilson.
Richmond is in time of service the young
est OF Savannah's crack shots. His first
team shooting was at Asheville two
years ago when the Savannah Rife Asso-
citation teams defeated the North Caro-
lima teams, Last summer he made
record at Hornellsville, n. Y.
and he now holds the championship in
savannah, having maintained it by
weekly contests at the range for over a
year. His best record is five consecutive
bull S eyes made at half a dozen contests.
This, however, has been equaled both by
DR.. Wilson, DR.. Martin and Mr. Dancy.
The rivalry of the next annual contest of
the Rife Association is between Rich
mOnd and DIR. Wilson, and their practice
shooting is being closely watched

AT THE THEATER.
Miss Kitty Cheatham Given a Hearty
Reception.

Miss Kitty Cheatham Given a Hearty
Reception.
Miss Kitty Cheatham, Gen. Cheatham's
granddaughter made her first appear
ance in Savannah last night since she was
here several years ago,as Jane" in Froh-
mans comedy. She plays the central
figure, and the character would seem to
have been especially written for her, but
for the knowledge that the play was Sc
cured in London over two years ago.
Prior to it's production in Lon don it was
also a success in Paris, where it origi-
mated.
Miss Cheatham was, until recently, a
member of Days Theater Stock Com
pany, in which organization she shared
equal honors with Ada Rehan. She was
born in Nashville. Her social interests in
this city being very extended, her engage
gagement here is more than an ordinary
event. Miss Cheatham is a lady Of
charming manners, and is a
social as well as stage favorite.
She is a delightful actress, and
her portrayal of jane is most effective.
Jane, might be fairly termed an inter
national comedy, since it bears a record
of over 500 performances in Paris and
London, and has already scored nearly
800 performances in this country-over
1000 of which have been given in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. The
play has, of course, undergone certain
adaptations that its French, English and
American transplantings necessitated.
Paris first saw it. then London some
months later, and it was still many more
months subsequently before Charles
F'rohman captured it for its present
American career. 1t will be repeated at
a matinee and tonight.

audience expected something good, and
it was not disappointed. The practical
