st. PnuPs Vestrymen Say the Church
VIII Not Become a Mission.
The vestry of St. PauIs church at Duffy
and Barnard streets held meeting last
night for the purpose of considering its
present situation, and what is to be done
in the premises.
Bishop c. x. Nelson appeared before
the vestry by invitation and he was very
much pleased with the showing made,
saying that it was in much better condi-
ton financially than many other churches
in the diocese. The church financially is
in as good condition as it has been at
any time for the last two years.
Mr.. ]. S. Collins, the senior warden said
the church would go to work at once to
secure rector TO take the place of Rev.
J. j. Lanier, resigned. The church will, of
course, be without a rector for a short
time, but it will by no means. say the YES
trymen,t to 90 back to a mission.It is expect
ed that a rector will be secured in the
next month or two, and in this the bishop
will aid the church, as he has proffered to
do on any other matters wherein he can
do it any good.

He Was boarding n Tug.
Capt Mike Lyons. while attempting 10
get aboard of tug to go down the river
on Friday morning. about o'clock, meet
with very painful accident. The tug
was lying outside of a schooner at the
steamer Alpha's wharf and Capt Lyons
was walking along the edge so as to get
on the schooner, when, in the darkness,
he walked into the gangway slip. The
noise made by striking the ship
was heard by the Waterman on the
schooner and on looking for the cause
he found Capt. Lyons insensible and just
about to roll into the river. The watcn-
man picked him up and in a short time
Capt. Lyons was able TO sc down the river
and bring up the vessel in his charge On
his return his shoulder panied him so
much that he called on DR.. Duncan, who
found it was dslocated. The injured man
was put under the influence of chloro-
form and Drs. Duncan and Charlton set
the limb. Capt. Lyons was out yesterday,
but he was suffereing considerable from
the accident.

COOLING DRINKS.
The Pretty Soda Fountain Girl At
tendants Tired Out.


tendants Tired Out.
ooh, dear, 1 wish this terrible weather
would let up for a WHILE" remarked one
of the pretty girl attendants at one of
the popular soda fountains yesterday. She
had been trying to wait on half a dozen
customers all at once. As she concluded
a nice young man who had stepped in
to get milk shake sympathized with her
on her work. YES" she continued, with
a plaintiff air, this hot weather makes it
awful hard for us. We have to work all
day long, and as for the peole, why, 1
never thought Savannah had so many in
habitants before. 1t seems as If every
one in the city wanted a drink and all
at the same time. It's hard, [ tell you,"
and her pretty lips murmured plaintively
little sigh, at which the young man sighed
too.
The hot weather has proved a mine of
wealth to the soda water fountain pro-
prietors. Milk shakes, lemon phosphates,
peach ices and other delicious decoctions
have been in popular demand and the
young lady attendants have had their
hands full in waiting upon the row of Gus
toners. With a cooling fan overhead, max
ing the atmosphere just so nice, a cool
milk shake with a straw" a comforta-
BILE seat, and, above all, a pretty girl to
make eyes at'-why, no wonder the av-
erage young man got broke on light drinks
this past week or So
The demand for soft drinks, as they
are called, has been great, but the soda
water men are rather non-comm unica-
tive in talking about the number fur
nished or the cost thereof. That there
is good profit is shown by the high
prices paid for the fittings Of a place
necessary to attract custom. A good
many thousand dollars have been ex-
pended in this city in putting places Of
this kind in a most attractive form, and
judging from the rows Of customers in
most of the leading places, during the
present and past hot weather, they have
proved successful
But not until cooler weather will the
charming girl attendant be satisfied, as
the present heated term keeps her too
busy. But for all that she is the envy
of half her acquaintance, as she can
enjoy all the "cooI comforts at her
command, while her chances at seeing
her best young man. are only limited
by the proprietor's good nature.

THAT HATCHET FOUND.
II Was Securely Laid Away in "a Desk
in the Court Room.

II Was Securely Laid Away in "a Desk
in the Court Room.
Solicitor General Fraser was surprised
yesterday at being presented with thar
terrible hatchet, the weapon that the de-
Tense in the Loud case contended was con.
cealed on the person of Fitzpatrick, when
he rushed up stairs, supposedly to as
sault Loud.
One of the deputies found a package
carefully wrapped up in a newspaper in
a drawer of the desk whereat sat the
counsel for the defense. Opening it care
fully. he was surprised to see a Ratchet,
minus the blade. nothing remaining, save
the hammer end of the tool
1t was taken to Mr. Fraser. and be
laughed heartily at seeing it. 1t was a
small ordinary Ratchet with the entire
blade broken off, enough of the neck of
the tool remaining to hold 1t to the ham
die while the hammer end was all right
1t is an insignificant weapon and the So
licitor general laughed till the tears came
as he recalled some of the arguments
made regarding this terrible and deadly
weapon" 1t developed at the trial that
such tool was laying around somewhere
in the house. but no one could say just
exactly where. Who found it and where
is not stated. But it is supposed that
the defense had it to put in evidence if
necessary. They did not use it, for rea-
sons of their own, preferring, no doubt,
to tell the jury about it. This was the
weapon which Judge Twiggs referred to
as being as remarkable as was the hat
chet of George Washington" During the
trial no trace of the Ratchet could be
found, and it seemed to have mysteriously
disappeared. But according to this, it
would appear that the defense had it near
at hand to bring out If thought necessary.
The solicitor general will place it among
his museum of curiosities.

NO CYCLONE NEWS.

The Disturbance in the Gulf StiII of
Slight Consequence.
The reports received last night at the
signal Office showed that the disturbance
previously reported in the Gulf is still
there, but nothing definite can be learned,
as to it's exact location. 1t was supposed
to have originated in the West Indies.
and then to have moved into the Gulf
by way of the Gulf Stream near Yucatan.
There is little possibility of its coming
UP this way as yet. 1t may increase, how
even and move northward. But If it
does ample notice will be given of its
movements. From present reports, how
ever, there are few indications OF any
storm coming this way

vehicle was one of those two wheeled affairs
which hoist the occupants about i've feet

engaged in conversation, when all of u

wheel alongside me gave a thump and u
bump, l was thrown in the air about two
feet, my hat was iammed over my eyes
and my glasses flew off my nose When
landed, my companion fell on top of me,
completely knocking ont what little breath
