People to the Island.
Tybee will have another attraction for
the next ten days, in addition to the Iiv-
ing pictures. Beginning to-day, in con-
nection with the other attractions, will

Ties and chairs. A series of trapeZe and
ring performances will be given. In ad-
dition to these Prof. Edmonds little
people will be seen in Punch and judy.
There is no charge for admission to any
OF the performances. The round trip fare
TO the island, 25 cents, entities all visitors
TO witness the shows.
The crowd of people that went to the
Island yesterday and last night is an evil
dence OF the popularity of cheap fares
and shows what the travel would have
been earlier in the season had the fare
been at popular price, where people who
patronlZe excursions would have felt that
they could have Afforded a trip to the sea-
shore every day or two.
The list of attractions which the man
agement of the road has secured. and
which it will present from now until near
the close of the season, or, at least, for
the next ten days, IS sufficient to attract
crowds every day, especially if the
weather keeps as it is now, and people

BURGLARS TAKE TO DRINK.
They Hold High Jinks in KoIshorn &
Bros Warehouse

A bold robbery was committed either
about midnight Tuesday night or before
daybreak yesterday morning. c. Kols-
horn & Bros warehouse, at the foot of
jefferson and River streets, was entered,
and from the evidences of bacchanalian
dissipation which strewed the floor when
the discovery of the burglary was made,
the burglars enjoyed beer for some time
undisturbed.
MIR. I. II. Upper, foreman Of the ware
house, opened the place as usual at $50
o'clock yesterday morning. He found the
bar of the front door pried. but the effort
TO effect an entrance there was unsuc-
cessful Investigation showed that the
robbers were more successful in the rear
The shutters were pried open with a
crowbar, and the thieves went through
the window. A lamp which had been
used was found on the floor.
The ice box had been broken into and
two dozen pint bottles of beer were emp
tied, no doubt with much gustO by the
burglars Five half-barrels OF Kol-
shOrns' best beer were then burst open,
and five-gallon can which Mr.. Opper
uses in the establishment was called into
requisition. In their eagerness TO quar-
the malt the robbers split il over the
floor and the waste was considerable.
Five empty kegs of porter showed the
thieves had penchant for that liquid.
People passing in the morning found sew
eral empty bottles which had contained
apollinaris water on the wharf in front
Of the warehouse.
There is no clew to the burglars. De-
tectives Bossell and Hanley and Kava-
naugh have been given the case to work

TO LOOK INTO THE Law.
The Enforcement of the Fire Escape
Ordinance Suspended.

The Enforcement of the Fire Escape
Ordinance Suspended.
The regular meeting of the city council
yesterday afternoon was short, and out
side of the routine business very little
was done. The members present were
Mayor McDonough and Aldermen Bald
win, Bohan, Myers, Screven, Pollard
and Remshart.
A resolution introduced by Alderman
Screven was passed, amending the rules
OF council so as to allow a ma Ority of the
members in the city to constitute a quo
rum Of the committee of the whole during
the months of August, September and
October.
A resolution by Alderman Myers was
passed, suspending the enforcement of the
ordinance requiring owners of all build
ings in the city of three stories and over,
not used as dwellings, to be provided with
fire escapes, until further action by coun-
Gil looking to its amendment and recon-
hitting the ordinance to the fire commit
tee for amendment This action of coun-
Gil was caused by the protest of owners of
buildings coming under it's requirements
who claim that the ordinance is altogether
too sweeping in its requirements, as under
1t many buildings would be required to be
furnished with fire escapes or additional
interior stairways at considerable ex-
pense to the owners, where there is no
real necessity for such additions The
ordinance will PROBABLY be amended so as
TO apply only to those buildings where a
number OF persons are employed on the
third ana higher stories.
Bills against the city amounting to S1B,-
90 were passed for DaVment

MIKE HANLEY FOR HER1FF.
His Friends Say He Will Run, but BE
Says No.

Detective Mike Hanley, it was gener-
ally stated yesterday, will oppose Mr..
John I. Roman for sheriff at the next
election. This appeared to be the opening
gun Of the county campaign. Mr.. Han
leys friends were busy spreading the
report last night, and the announcement
appears to be authoritative. 1t was the
sensation of the hour among the loungers
on the street corners, and was discussed
by them with a great deal of gusto Many
OF MIR. Hanley's friends announced that
they were roady to support them.
A MORNING News reporter saw Mr.
Hanley at the barracks and inquired if il
were true that he would oppose Mr..
Roman for sheriff in January He re-
piled that the report was not true and
that he had no such intentions. Some
OF the boys started the report for a Joke, -
he said. 81 have no idea of becoming a
candidate for sheriff"
Mr. Hanleys denial should set the mat-
ter at rest. However, a friend of Mr..
Hanley stated to a MORNING NEWS re-
porter that he had Just seen Mr.. Harley,
and that MIR. Hanley had informed him
that ne was in the race, and that he
would run upon the platform of an active
enforcement of the state laws and the
putting In of new set of officers in the
sherlh's office. He evidently mis-
understood Mr. Haley. The supposi-
ton among those who heard the rumor
last night was that Mr.. Hanley would
receive the support of the supporters of
the present city administration because
of the refusal of Sheriff Roman to COOP
crate with the city detectives in their
EFFORTS to put a stop to gam bling and
other offenses against the state laws.

1t in the police court yesterday morning.
Mcbride was a witness. in the case of
Willie Maher, who was charged with
throwing potatoes into the store of Gus
Alexander and damaging his stock. Nc
Bride tried TO shield Maher, but the lat
ter was fined SO by the recorder.
AS Mcbride started to go out of the
court room he applied a very offensive
epithet TO Policeman Sheehan, who had
been witness in the case Officer Kava-
naugh overheard him, and Immediately
called Recorder Wilson's attention to the
onense. The recorder ordered Mcbride
brought back into the court room, which
was done. He was charged with the Of
tense, but denied it.
Onicer Kavanaugh testified to having
overheard him curse Sheehan as he
passed out of the door, and Officer Shee-
han testified that he heard Mcbride use
the expression charged, but did not know
that it was intended it for him.
The recorder sentenced Mcbride to five
hours confinement in the Jug for con
tempt and for cursing an officer while in

A Petition Before the Sanitary
Commission.


Commission.
The sanitary board held a meeting yes
terday TO consider the petition of J. M.
Jorcano & Co. to be allowed to
bring in vessel from Cuba with cargo
OF sugar and molasses without being re-
CURED to unload the caago at quarantine
for disinfection.
After considering the petition the san
ltary bosrd replied that it could give no
decisive answer to the petition, as the &C
tion of the sanitary authorities would de-
pend entirely upon the condition of the
vessel and cargo after arrival at quarin-
tine.
a member of the firm of Jorcano e. Co.
stated TO the MORNING News that in
view of the answer of the board. he could
not say whether the vessel would be
brought TO Savannah or not She is now
loading at Guantanamo, Cuba. II was
supposed that the reason for desiring to
bring the vessel to Savannah was in or
der TO get her into an American port be-
lore the new tariff bill should become a
law, but this was denied bg the firm.

The Dog That Went to the Poorhouse.
From Our Animal Friend.


An incident which would seem to prove
that dog learns to understand the Ian
guage of his country was related by one
willing to vouch for its truth. And this
is the story:
A dog had come to be very old in a fam
lily in country village. One of the fam
lily remarked on a certain day, as the dog
lay in the room:
II think Saucho ought to be put ont Of
the way. He is only nuisance now"
That afternoon Sancho disappeared
and as the days passed did not return, In
the course of week neighbor said: II
see that your dog is up at the poorhouse. "
On inquiry it was learned that Sancho.
having called at the poorhouse, and been
kindly received, had continued on as a
guest. And ever after, although he some
times made brief call at his own home.
he lived at the Town Farm, and there
peacefully ended his dogs life.

TO ASK JUDGE MACDONALD.
He viii Be Called Upon to Make the
City Detectives State Officers.

City Detectives State Officers.
1t appears that Mayor McDonough will
succeed in his effort to have the city de-
tectives sworn in as state officers.
After the refusal of Sheriff Roman to
swear in the detectives as deputy sher-
ifs Mayor McDonough requested City
Attorney Adams to look up
the law upon the subject for
the purpose of seeing what other legal
means there are for accomplishing his
purpose. Upon searching the statutes
upon this point, Mr. Adams found a sec
ton of the act providing for the city
court of Savannah, passed in 1886, which
appears to fill the bill. The section is
also embodied in the city code as section
POI. 1t reads as follows:
The constables ana ex-oflcio constables OF
the city OF Savannah, from time TO time shall
