very much fear that the tax payers Of
Savannah will be called upon TO defray
some heavy loss from this source. 1t must
be borne in mind that while the Christmas
enthusiasm has about expended itself,
New Years day will soon be here and a
large portion of our citizens always feel
called upon to remain up to see the old
year out and the new year in and to cele-
brate the joint event with a liberal use Of
fireworks. While we escaped disaster
Christmas we may not be so fortunate
New Years and IL is the duty of the coun-
ell to see that the ordinance reg
ulating the use of fireworks is enforced or
a decent attempt made to do so at least
There is only one place in the city where
the free use of fireworks should be al
lowed. and that is the park extension"
There is no doubt that the views of
Messrs. Hull and Prendergast meet. with
the approval of the other agents and it is
likely that some steps will be taken by
them to bring the matter to the attention
of council.

Robert H. Bourke, colored a clerk in
the Savannah postoffice, was arrested yes

garding valuable letters deposited in the
postofice here which failed to reach their
destination.
Several inspectors have had the inves-
tigation in hand, but failed to locate the
thief until yesterday morning. when
Bourke, ii is claimed, was caught in the
act. He has been under suspicion for
some time.
Later in the day Mr.. Whiteside went
before United States Commissioner Isaac
Beckett and swore out a warrant for
Bourke's arrest. He gave bond for his
appearance at preliminary examination
to be held before Commissioner Beckett
this morning.

LEFT HIS HORSE UNHITcHED.
Capt. Dixon Sued for So, 900 Damages
on A ccount of It.

The suit of William Brewin against
Capt. W d. Dixon for $1,000 damages
for personal injuries was tried in the
city court yesterday.
Brewin claimed that on Feb. Of this
year a horse belonging to Capt Dixon
was standing in Liberty street lane be-
tween Lincoln and Habersham streets;
that the horse was left in no ones care,
and that he was unhitched, so that he
was frightened by a fight between two
boys, ran away down the lsne into
Habersham street and struck the plain
tiff, who was on his bicycle at the corner
of Liberty street. The plaintiff claimed
that he was seriously injured by the col
lision. having two fractured ribs. a
sprained ankle and shoulder and several
bruises, which necessitated the expendi-
ture of considerable money for physi-
clans treatment and for other purposes.
He alleged that the defendant was negli-
gent in that the h0rse was left standing
alone without being hltched.
The defendant showed that the horse
was a gentle animal, had been driven by
ladies and that it had never before run
away or attempted to do so. He
claimed that he had therefore exer-
cised ordinary care and diligence, which
was all that the law required, he having
left back of his residence a horse that
was gentle enough to lead any one to
suppose that under ordinary crcum-
stances the animal would never run
away.
The plaintiff was represented by Messrs.
O'Connor & O'Byrne and the defendant
by Messrs. Mercer q Mercer. The case
was given to the jury with instructions
to bring in a sealed verdict, which will
be opened at 10 o'clock this morning.
The result in this case may prove an
interesting one. A great many people
are in the habit of leaving for a short
time horses which are mild in their ma
ture. and which never attempt to run
away standing unhitched 1t remains to
be seen whether a person can do this
and at the same time exercise the same
degree of ordinary care that the law re-
nuiras undar such circumstances.

NAVAL RESERVES DTsBANDED.
Lieut.. Satterlee on the State Military
APPROPRIATION.

Lieut.. Satterlee on the State Military
Appropriation.
Savannah's naval reserve has gone by
the boards. 1t organized with about 40
men, who were enthusiastic in the work
before them. but after some trouble about
the uniforms and the regulations which
could not be properly adjusted it was
compelled to disband
The regulations require that each re-
serve shall be fully uniformed before it
is recognized as such, and allowed to par
ticipate in the appropriation. The men
say they could not secure from the state
the recognition to which they thought
they were entitled, and under the circum-
stances saw no good to be accomplished
by going to the expense of purchasing
uniforms.
Lieut. c. b. Satterlee who is here will
go to Brunswick tomorrow to see about
a branch of the naval reserve that has
been organized there. With regard to the
military appropriation, Lieut.. Satterlee
said he was not weeping over the fact that
there was to be no encampment next year
He said he could distribute to the troops
the actual cash, according to the prof.
cheney shown, and thereby encourage a
stronger discipline as we'll as make them
feel that the state was doing something
tangible for them.

date for Commissioner of the Freight
Bureau.
A meeting of the dirertors of the
freight bureau was held last night in
the rooms of the Commercial Club at

The committee on organization, con-
sisting Of Messrs. A. Vetsburg. chairman;

mittee recommended the following perma-
nent officers:
Presidential. G. Purse.
First Vice President-W. W. Gordon.

helm.
Secretary-Max Robinson.
Treasurer-W. W Williamson.
The recommendation was considered, and
it was decided to call a meeting next

completed on account OF the fact that all
the directors were not present, and the
committee appointed to recommend a
commissioner for the bureau was not
ready to report.
1t is said that so much pressure has
been brought to bear upon Capt. d. G..
Purse by his friends who are members of
the bureau, urging him to accept the Of
fee Of commissioner, that he now has
the matter under consideration. Capt.
Purse has been foremost in the work of
organizing the bereau.

without provocation. Norton's friends

was the exchange of courtesies between
DIR. Duncan and Mr.. Myers, the two can

and Mr.. Myers have always been good
friends, and still are for that matter, and
for several years they have made it a
practice to exchange membranes at
Christmas. Usually DIR. Duncan sent a
bottle of wine and Mr.. Myers a box of his
best cigars. The fact that they are now
opposition candidates for the position OF

the usual exchange of courtesies this
year. DR.. Duncan sent Mr. Myers a bottle
of wine with his compliments. and Mr..
Myers returned the compliment with an
other bottle. Each bottle is said to have
been entwined around the neck with a
neat blue ribbon.
