''The death of Miss Pennell falls with

1t is true that these virtues We're exer-

PAT NOON IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Charged with Forging an order On
the Branch Estate.

Pat Noon, a young fellow who has
made himself notorious by his various
escapades got himself into a scrape yes
terday which may put quietus ON him
for time at least.
About o'clock i'm the morning a little
negro boy came into the store of the
Branch Estate at Broughton and Whit
aker~streets and handed one of the clerks
a piece of paper, on which was scrubbed
an order for a quart of whisky, several
other articles, and $40 in cash. The
name of Mrs. w. r. Daniels was signed
to the order. 1t was 50 badly written,
however, as TO at once arouse suspi-
cion. 1t was known that Mr.. Daniels
was nearby at Neidlnger * Rabun s,
where he Is employed, and one of the
clerks was sent around to him with the
order, accompanied by the little negro
boy, who gave his name as Oliver Clarke.
AS soon as Mr.. Daniels looked at the
order he saw that = was not ms wife's
handwriting. He asked the boy who
gave him the order. The boy replied that
1T was given him by young white man
who wore a brown Fedora hat, and who
said he would wait for the things at the
corner OF South Broad and Whitaker
streets. Mr.. Daniels decided to invesu-
gate and see who 1t was that was forging
his wife's name. Accompanied by the
boy, he went to the corner indicated, but
there was no one there. He decided then
20 take the boy to the barracks and give
Information there Of the forgery. Near
the barracks they met Noon. He was
wearing a brown Fedora hat.
That's the man there" exclaimed the
boy, pointing at Noon, VINO was some dis
lance away. Noon did not wait for Mr.
Daniels to come up with him, but started
on a run at once. Mr.. Daniels gave pur-
suit and a lively chase ensued when
lasted for several blocks, from South
Broad to HRbersham into Perry street
lane, out into Houston street and thence
to East Broad street. Policeman Halford
Joined in the chase there, and captured
Noon on East Broad street.
The session of the police court had just
begun when Noon was brought in, ana
he was at once taken before the recorder
He denied the charge of forgery, but was
very nervous and excited. The only di-
the colored boy oliver Clarke, who iden-
titled him positively as the man who gave
him the order
Recorder Wilson questioned Noon sharp
ly. He dictated the order to him, and
made him write il out The chief SINH
larity was in the misspelling of the words,
showing very plainly Noon had not taken
advantage of the public schools. 1t was
difficult to say whether there was any
similarity in the writing, but the recorder
decided that the evidence was sufficient,
in view of Moons bad character, to war
rant him in turning him over to the SUI
perior court for trial on the charge of
forgery.
Noon gave as his reason for running
from Mr.. Daniels that he thought il was
Detective Kiley who wanted to arrest him
for a difficulty he had with some sailors
a night or two before. AS Mr.. Daniels
and Detective Kiley do not resemble each
other in the least and as the latter had no
idea of arresting Noon, the officers re-
garded his story as very fshy.

CAN You sHOOTs
Some Rules That VIII Lessen the
Danger in Handling a Gun.

Danger IN handling a Gun.
A correspondent of the American Field
sends that paper the following rules,
which, if carefully observed by those
carrying weapons. Will avoid many sad
accidents:
/. Never under any circumstances point
your gun toward human being,
q Never carry it so that If 1t were
accidentally discharged II would even en-
danger the life of dog
3. Always think which way your gun
is pointed, and if a companion is in the
field with you, no matter how near or
how tempting the game appears, do not
shoot until you know where he is; a stray
shot may be sufficient to destroy an eye
forever.
4. Never carry loaded gun in a wagon.
3. Never carry loaded gun over a fence;
put it through and then get over.
6. Always carry gun at half-cock; If a
breech loader never let the hammer rest
on the plungers.
Z. Never get in front of a gun; if YOU
are falling, drop it so that the muzzle
will be from you.
5. If the cartridge sticks, the stout blade
of knife will probably extract it; if not
take out the other cartridges, cut a
straight stick and poke it out from the
muzzle; even then do not get in front of
the gun.
g. After firing one barrel. take the car
fridge out of the other and examine the
wad to see that it is not loosened, as il
should it get into the barrel IL is liable to
burst the gun.
10. Never take hold of the muzzle of a
gun to draw it toward you.
II. Never set a gun up so that if il
should fall the muzzle would be toward
you.
p. Never keep a loaded gun in the

CHICAeoANS' STAY CUT SHORT
THEY WILL HE IN SAVANNAH But
ONE DAY INSTEAD OF TWO.

The Entertainments Committee To Re-
arrange Its Programmed Meet
ing Called for Tomorrow Night.
Regret That the Westerners' Visit
VIII lie 50 Short-Their Entire
Trip Limited to "a Week.
The citizens and military of Chicago will
spend only one day IN Savannah, instead
of two. as the committee has been cal
culating on.
Mayor Myers received a telegram yes
terday from Mr.. William n. Harper, di-
rector Of the Chicago excursion, stating
that the executive committee had de-
ciled that the eNcursiOnisrs could spend
but one day in Savannah. This Will be
Wednesday. Nov. g. He said that the
eXcursionists regretted TO make cheiI visit
here so short. but were compelled to do
so. A letter viii follow which will ex-
plain more fully the committees action.
The eNcursiOnists, it seems, have only
about a week in which to make their
trip, and as they spend a day in Nashville
and two days in Atlanta, they will not
have very much time in which to get
around. This action on the part Of the
Chicagoans will necessitate a reorganiza-
ton of the programme which the Sa-
Vannah committee has outlined. and for
this reason Chairman Garrard has called
a meeting for tomorrow night at $50
O'Clock IN Company AS room at the
Guards arsenal. The programme viii
then be rearranged. in accordance with
the changed plans Of the visitors.
II Is very probable that the committee
Will crowd as much as possible into that
one day. The programme will likely be to
some extent in two parts, one tor the
military and the other for the civilians.
The trip down the river on the Nacoochee
for the business men of the party will OF
course, not be abandoned and the party
VIII return in time to witness the parade
OF the Savannah and Chicago military in
the afternoon. This will probably be fol-
lowed by dress parade by the Chicago
troops a night it is possible to have
the reception at the De Soto and the
military concert besides. The committee,
however, will decide as to these arrange
ments tomorrow night.

TO COME Up LATER on.
Many Matters Before the city COun-
ell Lei Over.

The city council viii hold another meet
ing some time next week. probably Wed
nesday night. for the purpose Of passing
ON unfinished business. There was so
much before the meeting Wednesday
night that although. it lasted until mid
night, there were several important mat
tiers which were not touched. and the
meeting was put under recess in order that
it might be called again by the mayor at
any time.
The committee appointed to confer with
the representatives. of the Plant system
on the opening or streets across the Sa-
vanuah. Florida and Western railway,
may lee ready 10 report Dy that time. The
committee had another conference yester-
day afternoon with the Plant people. 1t
was expected that some agreement would
be reached at this meeting, but this was
evidently Eut the case as Mayor Myers
declined 10 say anything about the con-
ference when seen by Morning News
reporter.
in the rush Of other business at We'd
nesday nights meeting, the bids for re-
numbering the city and marking the
streets were overlooked: These will come

OF Savannah, and r. +. Marsland OF New
York. In accordance with the resolution
Of council calling for bids. all bidders sub
mitted specimens Of the work they pro-
ing. As a result there is now a large as
sOrtment of street signs and letters OF va
rlous descriptions IN the committee room
across the hall from the clerk $ ogice.
Mr. Benham submits his Idea for
street corner signs two boards crossing at
right angles with the names of the two
streets painted on each side. This is in
tended for erection on iron posts at street
corners. the idea being to utilize the old
lap posts in this manner. The idea appears
to be a very good one with the exception
that all the corners are not provided with
lamp posts and the city Will hardly go to
the expense of erecting posts for this pur-
pose. II has also been suggested that the
signs would make such attractive targets
for the boys when out on a frOlic at night
that they would not last very long o. Mara
q Co. have some very handsome metal
signs on exhibition. which apparently
would be very durable. Mr.. J. II. Fox sub
mits blue enamel lettering as the material
which he would use for REMEMBERING and
street signs.
Most of the other bidders submit plain
board signs, with letters of varying sizes.
Broughton Brothers submit a plan for re-
numbering by the block system Most of
the other bids are understood to be on the
block system. IL can be taken for granted
that the award Of the contract viii not
depend on the material offered for num-
beers and signs, as council will decide what
material it prefers, but upon the question
of the most satisfactory and comprehen-
sive plan for REMEMBERING the city.

drunk and raising a disturbance on In

Policeman GOdbold passed that way and

were a number of people, including wo-
men, on the street. Godbold placed him
under arrest and started to march him

"Godbold, you can't carry met
With that he struck at the officer. Of
hcer Godbold evaded the blow and drew

citizens dress and carries a billy Instead

man, and If he had not been drunk he
might have made 1t very interesting for
the officer. Godbolds a good man himself

a blow at him he struck him one with the
billy. Walker received about half a dozen
