SAID HE TOOK MONEY.
The President of a Colored Benevolent
Society Has Hard Time.


Smart Foreman (colored), president
Of the Union Gospel Travlers, organiza-
ton which aids the sick and buries the
dead, is in trouble about the finances of
his society.
The society was organized in 1890, and
was prosperous from financial
point of view until about eight
months ago. Internal discussions then
arose, and, of course, there were
twofrctiOns, both pulling in an OppO-
site direction and trying to accomplish diff
ferent purposes.
The result was that the finances got in
a pretty shaky condition. There are diff
ferent stories as 10 how the present order
OF things came about. Samuel Rankin
and Oscar F'lunory, two of the "travel-
ers" went into Detective Morga NE Of
flee yesterday morning and told him that
they wanted to prosecute Foreman,
as he had over $500 of the
thought was in the red bank" meaning
the South ern bank, until visit was paid
there, when it was found that no such
amount of funds were to the society's
credit. They claim Foreman said he
would not give upOraccOunt for it until he
felt like it. They also said that he had
two bank books, in one of which the
liOiACJ VI LhG SOGlGOy WAS ubpOSlbSQ III his
name. and that at Two meetings held re-
Gently he admitted that there S400 to the
society's credit several months ago,
while there is only SAL to its credit now
Where all the money had gone to, they
say, he does not know
The matter was referred to Justice
McDermott and possessory warrant for
the bank books and the $41 was issued.
Foreman, who works at Haynes & Elton's
mill, and who has worked there for
twenty-three years, was arrested by Of
ticer Smith. He told an entirely differ
ent story from that of the other men, in
which he said that there was only
$3.50 in bank to the society's
credit several months ago
Out of this amount bills had been paid for
badges, banners, printing and benefits
He said the entire membership was 400,
forty of whom had rebeled and attempted
TO cause dissensions in the hope of dis
banding the society.
A peculiar pant of the case is that Fore
man. although In full charge of money
matters and at the same time being the
society's chief officer, can neither read
nor write. He went out to the Treasurer's
house and got an order for the S41, which
he turned over to the court He was dis
missed, but the trial of the case against
him for the sum which is said to be miss
ing Will come up next week

SHE GAVE FREE DRINKS.
Mrs. Steinman Fined 5000 and Her
License Revoked for Her Generosity.

Mrs. Steinman Fined 5000 and Her
License Revoked for Her Generosity.
Mayor McDonough took up the whisky
cases again in the recorders court yester-
day morning and imposed a fine of 500 on
Mrs f.. A. Steinman, who keeps saloon
at Congress lane and West Broad street,
and who was charged with selling whisky
on Sept. and Sept Il.
The evidence against Mrs. Steinman
was very convincing. Officer York, who
put the place on the docket, testified that
on both occasions he got beer from Mrs.
Steinman. On one occasion Mr.. S. S.
Sauls, conductor, also went in and got a
drink with him, and the other time J. Q.
Adams, also a conductor, and some old
man got beer and whisky.
There was only one thing in Mrs.
Stcinman's case which looked favorable
for her, and that was that in neither case
did she receive or ask any money for the
drinks.
Mrs Steinman was seen and said
that while she admits giving the men
drink. she Of course, thinks the decision
of Mayor McDonough unjust She says
that the conductors on the Broughton
street line always come in and out her
saloon and that they frequently
go upstairs on Sunday and get ice
water She maintains that she gave
the policeman and the other three men
drinks in the upstairs portion of the
house and not in the bar. p. J. O'Connor,
Esq, has been secured to represent Mrs
Steinman, who will appeal the case to
counsel
The case of Herman Miller, who is
charged with two violations on the same
day, was continued.

AT THE THEATER.
''The DEVILS Auction" Engagement.
1.-THE Stowaway'' Next.


"The DEVILS Auction" was seen at two
performances yesterday. The matinee
performance was the first Of the season,
and was one of the most largely attended
that "The DEVILS Auction" has ever had
in Savannah The night performance was
seen by a good audience
'The Stowaway" will be the attraction
tomorrow night. Very few plays have
enjoyed the span of life 1.-THE Stowaway"
has, and it could have no better indorse-
ment. The fact that it has gone on from
year to year showing no signs of decreas-
ing popularity is the best evidence that
could be obtained of its worth.
The story deals with the life of a son of
a wealthy English gentleman, who falls
from afiluence to poverty by the usual
course of dissipation, until at the time of
the opening of the play he has nearly lost
all the self-respect he ever possessed. His
better ambition is aroused by good girl,
and he makes the usual promise of ref
ormation. The villain in the case is a
cousin, who will inherit the wealth Of the
hayward young mans father if the prod
igal does not return.
The well-laid plans are foiled by the in
terVentiOn of a faithful old servant, who
has remained steadfast in his loyalty TO
the degraded son during all mis- long alb
sence. Upon this foundation the play is
based. The fortunes of the son are fol-
lowed through several acts in a battle
against circumstances, and the story
deepens in interest, providing series of
dramatic incidents and an abundance of
excellent comedy.
The presence of the two ex-burglars,
Spike" Hennessey and Kid" Mccoy, in
a safe-blowing act, which is an integral
part of the play and therefore necessary
to the development of the plot, is a novel
bit OF realism which has excited a good
deal of comment

A SMART YOUNG PoAoHER.
How Cunning Lad Managed TO Catch
Rabbits Galore.
From the London Spectator

From the London Spectator
On property where the rabbit shoot
ing was strictly preserved, upon the
southern coast of England, a boy was
once caught with two dead rabbits in his
possession, and nothing else that would
account for their disease A search of
his pockets revealed nothing but two live
crabs of small dimensions, the end of
candle and box Of matches Under
promise Of release the urchin was per-
suaded to disclose his method Of proce-
dure
First he selected a likely burrow and
then he stripped off his clothes, putting
his coat over one hole his trousers over
another and his shirt over the third. He
lit the condle and dro paed a little of the
grease upon crabs back and stuck the
lighted candle thereon, and then put the
crab at an unoccupied opening. Straight
way the frightened torch bearer fed
sideways into the darkness and explored
the innemOst depths, while the boy, ex-
pectant as terrier, awaited events out
side. Presently rabbit bolted into the
coat and boy, rabbit and coat all rolled
over together, the boy rising from the
fray with the rabbit in his clutches.
What happened to the crab the history
did not relate. Let us hope that the can
die was eXtinguished by other means
than burning itself out.

WHISKY HOUSE CLOSED.
A Labor Lien and An Old Debt Close
Up the W. B. Brannan Company.

Up the W. B. Rrannan Company.
The w. b. Brannan Whisky Company,
which has its place of business at the
corner Of West Broad and Congress
street, was closed by Constable Henry
Hastedt Of Judge Sheftall's court yester-
day, under a labor lien and to satisfy an
old debt
About eight months ago, Mr.. Pearce
Braz1ell, who was n clerk for the COM
pany, which was run by Mr.. W. b. Bran
nan, and who is practically the pro-
prietor, was asked by Mr.. Brannan for
a loan OF $3.50 with which TO pay of few
bills, and which would set him pretty
straight with the business world. Mr..
Brazzell loaned him the money. After he
did it, however he felt a little dubious
about getting it back, and asked Mr..
Brannan to give him n note, which was
refused.
A brother Of Mr. Brannan was then
asked TO indorse a note, but said he could
not. His mother was next asked, and
would have iudOrsed the note. but it is
said was advised not TO do 50 by her son.
Mr.. Brazzeu continued working, think
ing he could best protect his interests by
doing so, as he would be in a position to
know when business was brisk enough to
insure the payment of at least part Of
the loan, but seeing that that time was
not likely TO come soon, and firing of let
ting his pay run on, which had already
reached 800, he concluded 10 close down.
After taking out labor lien, he had the
officer close up the place. 1t is thought
that everything will be amicably settled
in q daV or two.

His Head Cut Omen.

Joe Riley, a 12-year-old negro boy, who
lives out in Schleyville, south of the Belt
Line bridge near Estill avenue, came into
by his mother, TO see Detective Morgan
From the story of the woman and the
boy, it seems that another negro, named
Aaron Grant quarreled with Joe about
who would get water first from the
pump in the neigh borhood. A fight en-
sued and Aaron struck Riley with a brick,
splitting his head open.

egraphed DR. Drummer yesterday as fol-
lows:
Detention Camp, Waynesvnle Ga, Sept

baggage admit TO Savannah Answer
GEDDINGs.
The reply was eyes, " so Brunswick peo-
pie who are anxious to get to Sa-
vannah can do so now by spending ten
days at the camp and getting a certificate
from Surgeon Geddings.
1t was understood q few days ago that
no one from Brunswick would be allowed
to enter the city until frost, no matter
whether they had spent the required
time at the detention camp or not, or how
many certificates they might have. The
sanitary board, it is understood, discussed
this point at the last meeting and the de-
cision to accept the certificates was
reached.
1t is understood to have been decided
that ii was best not to continue the gov
eminent quarantine regulations. Whether
the city has the right to refuse to accept
a health certificate signed bp a govern
ment surgeon when the government is in
charge of the situation, is a question
which the sanitary board does not
propose to ask at present
None of the Brunswick refugees will be
able to leave camp under the regulations
before Oct. l. Still, the people of
Savannah do not relish the idea of seeing
their Brunswick neighbors under any
circumstances at present.
Mayor McDonough wishes the citizens
to come forward more rapidly with their
contributions for the relief of the people
of Brunswick. Only 1888 have been re-
ceived at the city exchange so far for the
fund.
