A Crowded House Views Tt With
New Curtain and Scenery.
'The Prodigal Father was presented to
a crowded house at the theater last night
The performance was highly humorous,
and the audience was most enthusiastic
in its applause.
The audience was greeted for the
first time last night by the new drop
curtain and elegant new scenery, which
has just been procured from Chicago
by Manager Johnson. The curtain
shows up beautifully against the
footlights and is model of artistic
production. The drapery is almost per-
feet the ton drapery being made and
arranged to exactly correspond with that
on the curtain itself. The curtain pre-
sents beautiful lake scene upon what is
apparently another CURTAIN hanging be-
fore another stage. It is the work Of
Sosman and lands, of Chicago, who are
among the best known theatrical artists
in the country.
All the new scenery is also their work
Entirely new garden, parlor and prison
sets have been procured and the patrons
of the theater will have an opportunity
of seeing something new for some time
to come The new curtain will be appre-
ciated by many, as the old one had been
learned by heart, it having been before

BACK FROM EFFINeHAm.
Escapes of Prisoners Reduced the
Criminal Court to a Minimum.

Escapes of Prisoners Reduced the
Criminal Court to a Minimum.
Solicitor General W. w Fraser re-
turned yesterday from Efingham county,
where a term of the superior court has
been held during the week.
The criminal business in Effingham
court was light, on account of the fact
that during the last two or three months
seven or eight prisoners have escaped
from Ettingham Jail and have not been re-
captured. Among them was Thomas
Cuyler, colored, charged with the murder
of another negro, who was to have been
tried at this term, and six or seven pris-
oners charged with various misdemean-
ors. Several parties who were not ready
for trial were also the cause of light
business in the criminal court.
Fourteen IN all were convicted, ten of
whom were gamblers, who were sentenced
to serve six months in the chain-gang ;
three for unlawful shooting, Dick and
John Lexley and Charles Parker, who
tried to kill an old man at Rincon, were
given twelve months each, and win
Davis, charged with breaking into a
house with intent to steal, also got twelve
months.
The grand jury recommended in their
general presentments the establishment
of new circuit, leaving Chatham in u
circuit by itself, 1t is well known, how
ever, TO be the desire of Effingham, in
case new circuit is established, to re-
main with Chatham, and to continue to
have the services of Judge t'alligant.

THE FOOT BALL GAME.

An Active Interest Being Awakened
Both in Savannah and Athens.
An active interest in the foot ball game
that is to take place here on THANKSGIVING
day, Nov. 30, between the University and
the Savannah teams, is being awakened
in the contest both here and in the Clas-
sic City
The Savannah boys, under the captaincy
Of Mr. l.. w. Walker, are practicing daily.
and viii be well equipped when they
meet their opponents on the field In the
meantime, it may be set down as a fact
that the University boys are not lying
idle, but are preparing for one of the
warmest contests they have ever partici-
pated in.
The Athens papers say that everybody
there is interested in the game, and that
large crowd of residents and Athenians
will come down to cheer their home team
on to success. That Manager Paul Flem-
ing will have good team and will be
ready for good, hard work, may be de-
pended on.
Placards have already been posted
around the city advertising the game, and
tickets have been placed on sale at sew
eral places, Tickets have also been sent
to Athens to be sold by the students
there. There is little doubt that with the
persistent effort that is being displayed on
the part of those interested, the game
will be success from a financial stand
point as well as scientifically.
The arrangement of the grounds for
that day is an important matter En-
beavers are being made to have the field
laid off parallel with the two grand
stands, but this will be impossible, unless
the two beachers on the east side can he
shifted so as to make room for one of the
goals. This will be necessary as the
grounds are only 800 feet wide from
fence to fence, and $50 feet are required
by the foot ball field from goal to goal. 1t
Is important that the field be laid off in
this way in order that those in the grand
stand may have the opportunity of seeing
to advantage every stage of the game,
and 1t is thought that the management of
the park will accede to the wishes of the
players in this respect
Everyone will want an opportunity to
see the game, and this will no doubt be
given, as most of the merchants close up
for half the day at least on Thanks

Savannah's days of railroad quarantine
| arepractically at an end. Health Officer
Drummer said last night that he was ex-
/ pecting information from Surgeon Carter
that would authorize him in raising the
quarantine against Jesup. The Bruins
wick quarantine will be maintained as
long as the fever continues there. which,
/ from present indications, will be until
Dec. l.
The raising of the Jesup quarantine
/ will practically end the railroad quaran-
tine at Savannah, the quarantine having
| already been raised on the Central
Charleston ana Savannah, and South
Bound railroads. The Jesup quarantine
has been great hardship upon the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway. as
Jesup was one Of its important stopping
points as well as its connection with the
East tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railway The loss of traffic at that point
was not so much felt as the Inconvenience
OF being compelled to run trains past
without stopping. This will all be at an
end now.
The Brunswick quarantine does not
matter so much to the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway as it does not inter-
Iefe with the operation OF the main line
Supt. Fleming said yesterday that the
PdSScHStf travel on the savannah,
lorida and Western railway had been
reduced one-half by the quarantine He
expects 10 see il increase rapidly now and
that there will be a rush Of visitors to
savannah now from Southeast Georgia

The short duration of the cold wave,
though predicted to be short by the
weather bureau, was disappointing to
those who hoped to experience cold of
sutncient severity to assure against all
further danger from yellow fever this
season. Frost was reported yesterday
morning, but the weather moderated
rapidly during the day and the afternoon
was as pleasant as could be desired.
Oyercoats were hardly needed last night.
The minimum temperature at Sayan-
nah yesterday was Al or g. above freez-

perature in the Savannah district, how

IN the district except Savannah and
Gainesville, being from 28o to 800.
Warm weather is predicted for to-day,
but another cold wave is moving south
eastward and 1t win be colder Sunday
The approaching cold wave is said to be

expected next week. The effect will prob

The schooner Tangier, Capt L. B. Hill,
from Satilla, with 1900 bushels of rice
for Savannah, sprung a leak and went
to the bottom in ten fathoms of water,
between 8 and l2 o'clock Wednesday
morning, about fifteen miles of the north
end of Warsaw.
The Tangier was making for the Savan-
nah river and early Wednesday morning
struck heavy sea with a high north
west wind which came up about day
light. The crew had her under control
until 9:30 o'clock, when she sprung a leak

They remained on board the sinking
schooner until five minutes before she
went to the bottom, when they got into
the bateau and showed of. They watched
her go down, and then made for shore as
rapidly as possible. They could only
make slow Roadway, however, as the sea
was rolling high, and they were in a fat
bottom boat, which is hardly calculated
to stand very heavy seas.
The schooner sank in about two hours
The boat was hardly large enough, being
OF the kind that it was, to accommodate
the TOUR persons who were on board, and
it was impossible to save anything what
ever. The only thing that Capt. Hill car
RED away was his compass. The men
had pretty hard work pulling ashore be-
fore the sea, and it was 8 80 at night be-
fore they reached Warsaw Island where
they camped out for the night. The cap
tain says it was the hardest work he has
mad IN many day, and more than once
they thought the boat was going to be
swamped, and send them to the bottom,
with the schooner.
SAVANNAH CRAFT.
The Tangier is a two-masted schooner
and belongs at this port. She is the prop
erty of Capt. Hill who has been sailing up
and down the coast near here for some
years past Capt. Hill had no insurance
on the schooner whatever, and she may
be regarded as a total loss, together with
the cargo aboard. She is in about ten
fathoms of water, ana her masts stand
out of the water about twelve feet. She
was boat 81 by % and of 40 net tons.
The cargo of rice belonged to Col George

Screven. The cargo was insured for
about $1,000 but the schooner, which was
