THE Boys BIG WEEK.

Bontires and Peppers to Boom From
Now Until New Years.
Bonfres were burned in some of the
squares last night. An impression pre-
walls that the time allowed by the city
ordinance in which honfres are allowed
to be built and fireworks to be exploded
in the squares south of Liberty street and
IN Forsyth Park, extends from ten DAYS
before Christmas to ten days after Christ
mas.
An examination of the ordinance on the
subject yesterday, however, revealed the
fact that the time for which these prlvi-
leges is granted, extends from five days
before Christmas to ten days after Christ
mas, so that the boys have four days vet
to wait before they can have their bon
fires without being liable to arrest
IL really makes very little difference,
however, whether the bonfires are to
begin now or next week If the boys are
to have bonfres in the squares. and the
mayor says they shall, the damage done
will not be greatly increased by beginning
four or five days earlier. The bonfires
that will rage from Christmas eve to New
Years day will wipe out all traces of the
smaller affairs of the kind with which
the boys will amuse themselves previous
to Christmas evening.
Just in this connection it would appear
UhaJ the boys living north of Liberty
street are unfairly treated by the city
fathers in not being allowed the same
privileges as those south of Liberty
street
While the boys south of Liberty street
are privileged for fifteen days to have all
the fires they please the boys north
OF that street cannot indulge in this
sport without mourning the danger of be-
ing arrested by the police. The expert
ence of previous Christmases has shown,
however, that just about as many bonfires
rage during the holidays north of Liberty
street as south of it. South Broad street
and Washington square are particularly
well Illuminated, as a rule. If the truth
were known, the boys in the northern
portion of the city really get more fun out
of their Examinations than their friends
and rivals in the southern portion They
have their bontires Just the same, and the
pleasure of defying the police along with
them. The police apparently strive very
hard to prevent the bonfres along South
Broad street and in the square north of
Liberty, but their efforts are never
crowned with any great success, and
there are large number of people who
have an idea that it is only a bluff they
are giving the boys, anyway.
In many instances it is the case that
the policeman was raised north of Liberty
street himself, and looks at the matter in
the same light as do the boys.
Boys will be boys, and Christmas only
comes once year anyhow. That is what
Mayor McDonough says.

CITY BREvITIEs.

A rule absolute was issued in the
superior court yesterday in the case of
M. Ferst Sons & Co. VS.. r. f. Meldrim.
TO foreclose mortgage amounting to
$lO7 SO.
A young lady residing on Henry street
had her hat snatched from her head last
night while standing at the entrance to
ored girl, who ran off before assistance
came.
In the case of George Schwarz and
others VS.. the p. H. Wolters Brewing
Company, in the superior court, the in
terventions of Packam, Dewett q Co. and
+. Tuckfarber Company were allowed by
Judge F'alligant yesterday.
The weather took a decided upturn yes
terday. From severe cold, the day be-
fore, it dropped to springlike mildness.
The mercury went up to 10 and did not
go below AZ the average being several
degrees above the normal The indica-
tions last night were that it will continue
warm to-day and tonight will turn
cooler.
The case of Charles Grant, charged
with cutting Edward Singleton with
knife in Fred Meyers store, at Farm and
Bryan streets, Thursday night, was con
tinued in the recorders court yesterday
morning. Grant drove the knife into Sin
gletOns oack, making a bad wound.
Both parties are colored.
The case of Officer Kavanaugh was con-
tinued by the mayor yesterday until
Tuesday morning. The policeman is i'll
with fever, induced by the wounds in
his head received during the fight Thurs
day night at John Wade's saloon, at
Houston and South Broad streets. DR..
Handy is attending Kavanaugh and ex-
poets to bring him around all right by the
day set for his trial.
In the words of Gilbert & Sullivan's
opera, pirates of Penzance," the police
mans lot is not a happy one. Officer
John ID. Crimmins is strongly of that
opinion. While on duty downtown he
felt in need of a cup of coffee, and though
he tried to fight off the desire, it event
ually got the upper hand and he dropped
into nearby restaurant to enjoy cup.
Coming out he found himself face to face
with the sergeant who put him on the
docket, and Officer Crimmins is IS poorer
and the city enriched to that amount.

FOUND DEAD IN TIE CANAL.
The Body of Clara Bell Taken From
the ogeechee Yesterday Morning.

The Body OF Clara Bell Taken From
the ogeechee Yesterday Morning.
The body OF Clara Bell, colored
woman about 40 years old, was found
floating in the Ogeechee canal yesterday
morning near the Bay street bridge over
the canal 1t is supposed she wandered
to the canal in temporary fit of insanity
and fell into the water, from where she
was unable to get out.
The case was peculiar one and excited
some attention when reported to Coroner
Dixon. 1t was supposed at first that
there might have been some foul play, but
there was no particular evidence to up
hold this theory
Coroner Dixon summoned a Jury and
held an inquest at the home of the woman,
No. 104 Factory row, yesterday afternoon
at O'Clock. James Bell, the womans
husband, stated that she had been
sick for two or three weeks and
was Just getting better. Thursday
night he told her to go down stairs for a
little exercise, and when she did not re-
turn in a reasonable length of time he
went to search for her. He was surprised
at not finding her down stairs. He then
went outside and searched around for her
everywhere, he says, until o'clock in the
morning, but he could learn nothing as to
her whereabouts.
Yesterday morning. after he had
searched in vain for some time, the re-
port was brought to him that she was
drowned in the canal, near the Bay street
bridge, by a man who had found
her body floating there. The body
was left there and the coroner
notified. Several other witnesses were
examined at the inquest and their tes-
timony fully corroborated that of Bell
He said the woman was not insane, but
was perfectly rational when he left the
house, and he could not account for her
actions. The jury came to the conclusion
that she, having been sick, wandered TO
the banks of the canal, and in a tenn
porary fit of insanity fell into the water
where she was drowned A verdict was
rendered in accordance with the conclu-
sions reached.

OF the great reduction we have made. and
II an exchange of money and clothes do
not ensue, all we can say, it will not be

GOING OVER THE TAX ORDINANCE.
AT THE OPERA.
Pauline Hall Makes Big Hit in "The
Honeymooners."


Honeymooners."
Pauline Hall and her fine supporting
company, produced for the first time in
this city last night 1.-The Honeymooners. :"
The plot of the opera has already been
given in the MORNING News. The piece
was written by G. M. S. McClellen and
William Furst. Both composer and
Hbrettest have achieved previous sue
cesses in comic opera, and their latest
production is no exception to the rule
They have even surpassed their former
efforts
Miss Hall, whose beauty and voice are
part OF the treasures of the stage, was
in the best of form, and captivated those
who saw her for the first time, while old
admirers were gratifed at her improve
ment IN the excellent part she por-
trayed. She was surrounded by most
competent company. Richard Golden,
the eminent comedian, has a good part
and made big hit. Caroline Hamilton,
the late prima donna of the Bostonians,
was excellent in her character of
Diana" The balance of the characters
are capital The costumes add much to
the attractiveness of the performance.
The company will give two more per-
formances in this city, appearing this at
ternoon at matinee and tonight. The
ladies of Savannah, who attend, will en-
JOY the finished performance which is an
artistic as well as musical treat. The
company will close it's engagement to-
night.
