70 present 10 the meeting. as a test Of
what individuals and commercial bodies
would do could not well be made until
this estimate had been presented. Every
one, he said, wanted to know what it
would cost and where the money would
come from. He, therefore, moved the
adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved. That the mayor appoint com
mittee OF merchants ana others connected
with the various tariff interests OF tie city
for the purpose OF presenting at an adjourned
meeting Of the citizens q plan OF organization,
manner OF meeting expenses and other mat
tiers connected with the establishment Of The
proposed freight bureau, and that Capt ID. @.
Purse be appointed chairman Of said com
mittee
Col. J. H. Estill seconded the resolu-
ton, which was adopted by unanimous
vote
THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
The mayor did not appoint the commit
tee at once, as the matter which was TO
be taken in hand required a careful selec-
ton Of business men to serve on il. The
desire was to appoint, as near as possible,
men who were interested in the different
branches of Importance to Savannah. The
committee was announced later in the
day, as follows: Capt d. G.. Purse, chair
man, Col. w. w. Gordon, Messrs. W. c..
Cam, president of the cotton exchange,
l. NJ. Frank, Joseph Hull, f. A. We'll. w.
D. krensOn, Capt. w. w. Williamson,
Messrs. B. H. Levy, A. B. Palmer, w G.
Morrell, Herman Myers, Maj. G. NJ
Ryals, Col. J. II. Estill, Messrs. w. j.
Watson, J. NJ. Dixon, r. F. Burdell, G.
w. Tiedeman and w. w. Starr.
The committee is a thoroughly repre-
sentative one, and includes representa-
tives of all the large trades and CONNER
cial lines. The committee will consider
the matter, and, after mapping out some
plan for the formation of a freight bureau
and considering the matter of expense,
will report to another meeting to be called
later

A MINIATURE PRAIRIE FIRE.

Residents in the Southern Section
Living in a Smudge.
The people in the neighborhood of the
park and in the southern section of the
city have been subjected for the last two
days to a smoking out from the smudges
arising from the burning of the hay in the
park extension. Every now and then the
city hands NOW the grass in the extern
sion It is raked into winrows and
is then burned. The small boy does a
good deal of the work
1t is a question whether the park looks
any better after it has been burned over
like fallow, and whether there is any
more benefit TO the coming crop of grass
to burn it over than it would be to let il
decay and return to the soil The burn
ing taxes away from the soil what it
needs as a fertilizer, and the grass in the
extension is not too good anyway.
The people in that section of the city
kicked a good deal last spring about being
enveIoped in the smudge from burning
the Neaves in the park proper, and now
they are smoked out even worse than
they were in the spring About half the
territory of the extension was fired yes
terday. The hay was ignited in the
swaths and the fire ran over the ground
like the burning of a prairie. If the hay
is good for nothing TO the city for forage
there are good many people who would
probably like to haul it away rather than
see it burned.

A GOOD MINSTREL SHOW.
AL. Fields Show as Presented Last
Night Is Rarely Outclassed,

The performance of AL. G. Fields Min
strels at the theater last night was one of
the most enjoyable entertainments of its
kind that Savannah theatergoers have
had the pleasure of hearing and witness
ing in some time. 1t was an aggregation
of minstrel artists such as is not often
seen together.
The troupe contains some excellent
voices, which were shown off to advan-
tage in the first part, and while the Jokes
were not all new, they were not at all
bad. Al. Field and Tommy Donnelly
made the fun for the audience. and they
both have faculty for that sort of work
which results in a plenitude of smiles,
not all of which come between acts. The
musical specialties were good.
The musical BARRIERS of Seville. by the
Alvarez family, is an attractive and
taking feature, and an interesting one for
the audience. Arthur Yule was loudly
applauded for his excellent limitations
and his singing in three different voices.
The Martinetti brothers are as fine
acrobats as have ever been seen on the
Savannah stage. The wiud-up was a
laughable spectacular burlesque entitled
Aladdin which was humorous and en-
tertaining throughout

TRIFL1NG CIRCUMSTANCES.
Indications in the Boys Life Pro-

From the Scottish American.

From the scottish American.
Carlyle says that you can tell how a
man would do anything from the way he
sings. However this may be, it is Ger
tainly true in nine cases out Of ten that
you can tell what sort of a man a boy will
make from seeing him at play, when
obliged to stay indoors, without a COM
panion. Lord (then plain William) Arm
strong, the famous engineer. was deli
cate boy; and, one winter, when b years
old, was confined TO the house for months.
To amuse himself, he set several old spin
ming wheels in motion by weights de-
scendine on strings from top to bottom of
the house over the staircase railing.
Friends and relatives bought mechani-
cal toys for the little prisoner, which he
al once pulled to pieces. They attributed
the habit to a childs passion for destroy
ing things, not surprising that the little
6-year old was bent on discovering their
construction. 1t was not satisfactory to
him to see jack jump up in the box"
when the lid was raised; he would know
what made Jack spring up. The boy
passed into young manhood, and his
father, seeing nothing extraordinary in
his sons mechanical gifts, put him into
lawyers office, where he remained. as
student and junior partner, for more than
thirteen years.
One day, while fishing near rustic
mill, the water-wheels attracted his at
tention, because it was fed by rill above,
which descended from hight of nearly
100 feet. Seeing that only 20 feet of the
descent were utilized, ne pondered the
question-"Why not use the whole de-
scent of the stream as motive power!"
A swinging -lamp-in a church suggested to
Calico the pendulum as a means of meas
uring time, and the young lawyer saw in
the descending rill power for a hydraulic
crane He invented one, and it attracted
the attention of leading engineers.
The new crane, however, met with
strong opposition, Mr.. Hartley, the en-
gineer of the Liverpool docks, pooh poohed
at it for long time, refusing even to ex
amined it. He was one of those men who
think that what is OLD is useful and what
is new is worthless. A letter from an
eminent engineer started him to make
journey to the place where one of Arm
strong's cranes was at work. He came
to the man who had the charge of it, and,
without revealing himself, began a bant-
ering conversation, in which he freely ex-
pressed his skepticism as to the
machines utility. At last the man-who,
from his skill in managing
the machine, had acquired the name
OF Hydraulic Jackn-proceeded to show
the cranes action by the daring treat
ment of hogshead of sugar. 81 am Jesse

SHOCKS FROM STREET CARS.

if he Tries.
The number of fatal accidents in the
north and west recently from touching
electrically charged wires and other
metallic substances during rain storms.
or when the charged bodies are wet, init
mates care to everyone in meddling with
anything that suggests that it may be
alive, electrically speaking.
Even the street cars are changed on
wet days, and passengers not infre-
quently get what they think is a severe
shock, although really there is no danger,
as only limited charge can be received
and not anything like sufficient to pro
duce a fatality. The iron work of
motor cars, the hand rails, the iron
work along the sides of the cars and the
guards over the wheels are full of light
ming.
Any one whose shoes are wet when
stepping into car on wet day, when
the iron work is wet, is pretty certain to
be shocked in more or less degree. The
conductors and motormen wear rubber
coats on rainy days, and are practically
walking Leyden iars. A passenger COM
ing In contact with the conductor in re-
ceiving change for fares, stands a good
chance of receiving shock too. Con-
ductors and mOtormen on rainy DAYS
seldom touch the iron work of the car
unless they wear gloves Many con
ductors and motormen wear rubber
overshoes to insulate themselves, and
even then the curret follows the rain as a
conductor on the outside of the shoes.
A gentleman in the southern section of
the city got on a Price street car the
other day during the rain. He accident
ally stepped on the iron guard over the
wheel which projects through the floor of
The car and received q severe shock. Not
knowing whatit was, his first thought was
that he had been stricken with paralysis,
aud he sank into the seat, expecting to be
taken of the carlperhaps dead. Feeling
no further effects from the shock, he con-
cluded that his time had not yet come.
Pretty soon another passenger got on and
stepped on the iron plate which runs
around the floor of the car. AS he did so
he sprang forward as if some one had
showed pin into him, taking a glance
over his shoulder to see what was behind
him. The conductor explained the cause,
and the gentleman, who thought he had
been paralyzed, was relieved of his
anxiety.

AN ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Charged Against a Greek, but No Ar
rest Followed

ItbL II OA4OWbNs
What was claimed to be case Of at
tempted assault took place yesterday
about noon in place kept by a Greek
fruit vender at the corner of Liberty and
Wheaton streets. A woman was heard
screaming in the store, which was closed,
and in few minutes she came running
out through the small restaurant next
door, crying that the Greek had at
tempted to use violence upon her.
There was considerable excitement
around the place for while, and much
inquiry was developed as to what was
the cause of the commotion. The story
told there was that the woman had been
at the Savannah, Florida and Western
warehouse TO see about some freight
that had been sent her Before re-
turning she went by the Greeks fruit
Pretty soon the doors of the shop were
closed and a screaming was heard within
shortly after, and it was hardly a minute
before the woman appeared in the res
taurant and told her story, stating that
the Greek had thrown her down and at
tempted to assault her.
IL was some time before the Greek
opened his shop, but later when he was
questioned about it he told a somewhat
different story, claiming that the scream
ing was all for effect He was somewhat
worried about the matter later, however,
and when questioned refused TO give his
name or say anything about 1t. Up to
last night no charges had been preferred
against him, and it was believed then
that none would be-

MAKING UP FOR ITS BADNESS.
The Weather All That Savannahians
Can Ask for Now.

Yesterday was another delightful day,
meteorologically speaking. The tempera-
ture, like that of the day before, was only
one degree out of the average, being
degree above the normal The highest
that mercury went was So, and the lowest
was 65'. The weather was generally fair
throughout the cotton belt
The indications sent out by the weather
bureau at midnight were for generally
fair weather at savannah to-day, slightly
warmer and with variable winds, east TO
southeast.
The weather that Savanuahians are
having now could hardly be improved
upon, and makes up for the hot and dis
agreeable spell that they underwent early
in the month and during the latter part Of
August.

TOOK THE FURNITURE WITH HIM
A Pretty State of Affairs in the Prov
idence Baptist Church.

1Qence baptlsC CnurCh.
The Providence Baptist church, colored,
out in the neighborhood Of Lovers lane
and Waters road, is likely to develop a
schism not conclusive to brotherly love.
The pastor, Rev. Thompson, preached
his farewell sermon night before last, and
after the service some of the member
say he carried of all the movable furni-
ture in the church-pulpit, organ, Bible,
and even the stove.

and the pastor, IL seems have not been on
the best Of terms for some time The
pastor had his following, and it is loyal
in his support and defense against those
who are on the other side. The congre-
cation is not very large one, but it
threatens to make itself known unless
the property, which part of the mem
bers claim belongs to the church, is re-
turned without great deal of delay.
The eX-pastor's friends say the things
he took out of the church, in the removal
of which they aided him, were his per-
sonal property, and he had a right to take
them away with him.

The order of Tonti, like that of the
Iron Hall, has good many creditors in

chances are that the members may get a
small return on their investment.

was made. The matured certificate
holders stated that they would claim, as
preferred creditors, to be paid IN full be-
fore any distribution was made to holders
OF unInatured certificates. Other coun-
sci, representing unmatured certificate
holders, stated that they would contest
this claim.
The auditor stated for the information
OF all members, that upon receipt from
the asslgnees of the lists of claims of
members, as shown by the books, in the
absence of specific objection, he proposed
TO allow all such claims and to award a
dividend thereon without personal APP
pearance or further proof, and that it
would not be necessary to produce the
certificates until the time arrived for
payment of the dividend. The auditor
also stated that the question whether
matured certificates holders were entitled
