TRAMPS GETTING TOO THICK
4 Batch Of Them Before the Police
Court To-day.

Detective Morgan Raids a Colony
South of the City-The Suburbs
Overrun With Them-People in the
Southern Part of the City Want
More Protection by the Police From
Providing Migrants.
For some days past complaints have
been frequent with regard TO the increas-
ing numerical strength Of tramps in and
around the city. The county seems to
have been oyerrun with them, and while
they are afraid to venture much within
the heart of the city on account Of the
strict enforcement of the vagrant law,
they have lowered about the southern
part of the city just in the limits and be-
yond, where they have been committing
numerous depredations on the property Of
people living in those sections.
The southern part of the city, especially,
has been infested with them. A police
officer could go out there almost any day,
so the inhabitants there say, and send
from three to half a dozen of them in TO
the barracks. They want to know, too,
why this is not done. They not only
alarm women and children, but they com
NIT petty thefts on every occasion to get
night brought thirteen of them into the
barracks to request lodging, which was
furnished them, but they were allowed to
go the next morning OF course, how
ever, there was no evidence in this case
on which to hold them
RAID ON THEIR QUARTERS.
Detective Morgan, with Constable Scott
and William Edy, went out yesterday to
investigate the reports about the tramps
who were located just the other side of
TatemYille, out on the Savannah, Florida
and Westernlr railway, about four miles
from the city. The result was that six of
them were sent in yesterday afternoon
and lodged in the barracks, All of them
were white men Of the regular tramp va
rlety, and the recorder will doubtless
turn them all over to the city court
when they appear before him this morn
ing. The arrests were made just on the
edge Of Lamar swamp, near Tatemville.
They seemed to have belonged to a gang
of tramps, which has been infesting that
section for some time past. They had
taken possession cof the swamp or a sec
tion Of 1t, and had one or two huts there
in which they lived.
REGULAR COLONY.
This colony of tramps brought forth
several complaints from people living in
that section. Their depredations were
quite annoying, and considerable property
of one kind and another was taken by
them. They are said to have driven cat
tie from neighboring fields to their huts,
and killed them, on more than one oc-
casiou.
Detective Morgan said, Saturday night,
that he was going to raid the section, and
break up the gang. Suiting the action to
the word, he went out yesterday
and bagged six of them, who were
sent in to the barracks. He brought in
all he found, but says he is determined
to break up the gang, and if there are
any more there he will find them.
The people of Tatemville will be
much gratifed to know that they
are soon to be rid Of this nui-
sance. The people in the southern part
of the city viii be much gratihed also if
that section were taken in hand by the
police and this pest cleared out.

Yesterday Had Treat.
There was some fine music rendered at
the cathedral yesterday. The choir,
under Prof. Heubner as director, and
Prof. Mehrtens as organist, rendered
Giorza's mass exceptionally well.
Notable among the musical features
was the Offertory. Misses Marie Tavary
and Helen Won Doenhoff, of the Tavary
operate Concert Company, sang the
"Qui est Homo" from Rossini's "Stabat
Mater most beautifully, and the sweet
music from these two great artists en-
tirely captivated their hearers. Both
have exceptionally fine voices.
AT the vesper services Rossini's "Pro
Picates" was well rendered by Signor
Luigi Sartori, and this difficult piece of
music was handled with a masters
touch. The congregation was highly
gratified and is profuse in its thanks to
these singers for%heir kindness in favor

The "fans" are still in doubt as regards
the movements of Jim Manning. There
is some talk now of Manning and a friend
of his forming a club in Savannah, which
will be under the control of the latter,
while Jim manages the Kansas City team.
In this way 1t is thought that the terms
of the franchise that Manning holds
could be carried out. He might construe
the conditions as to his representing the
club in person so as to mean his personal
representative
From all appearances Manning will not

Once again did large crowds gladden. the
eyes of "magnates,n and not until late in
the day did the Boston team obtain such
a lead, through their admira Die team
work, that their cinch on first place was
past discussing.
The sport of all sports for the year,
however, was football, which was played
by three times as many teams as ia 1892,
and drew an attendance amounting up
into the hundreds of thousands. With
the victory of Princeton over Yale was
closed season whose incidents were all
exciting unfortunately, not always for
the best of reasons-in which greater
skill and more accurate and advance
team work were shown than ever before,
but the very growth Of the game led to
doubts if 1t were growing In the right
direction, and this question is now occu-
