A NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
THE PROPOSED SITE AT BULL AND
CHARLTON STREETS.

The Old Lewis House Purchased by
the Association of Masonic Lodges.
The Price Paid s22, 5OO-The Pres
ent Temple the Property of Solo
mons Lodge No. 1.-The Committees
Intention 10 Erect Handsome
building.
The old Lewis house on the southeast
corner of Bull and Charlton streets has
been bought from Mr.. Joseph Hull by a
committee representing the association Of
Masonic lodges, or all of them at least,
with the exception Of SolomOn's Lodge.
The price paid for the property was 49,
500. 1t is understood that Mr.. Hull paid
$4,000 for it about two years ago.
1t Is proposed to erect a new Masonic
temple on this site. The movement to
erect a new Masonic temple started about
two years ago. and was Joined in by all
of the Masonic lodges in the
city. with the exception of Solo
mons Lodge No. l. The present Ma
sonic temple is owned by So1omon's
Lodge, which when it discovered that the
other lodges were dissatisfied to pay rent,
offered them the use Of the lodge room
free. 1t appears. however, that the NOV
ers in the matter of a new temple were
not satisfied with this offer, and have
,gone on with their plans.
Messrs. George w. Owens and J. F. B.
Beckwith were the attorneys employed to
look up the titles and attend to the draw
ing of the papers. The property. ii is stat
ed, was bought by the committee for the
use of the association of Masonic lodges.
A gentleman who has been prominently
connected with the transaction stated that
all of the lodges were represented and
viii enter into the plan for the construc-
ton of the new temple. A prominent men,
Der of Solomons Lodge stated, however
that his lodge had nothing to do with
the matter and knew nothing about II.
1t appears that the other lodges, with
the exception of Solomon's, have been
most prominent in the movement and have
made the purchase themselves.
1t is not known just when the new temple
will be built. So far only the preliminary
steps have been taken, but those who are
in charge of the matter say the structure
will be handsome one and an ornament
to the city. They say the present temple
is too small and that more spacious quar-
ters are needed. 1t is probable that some
steps toward the proposed new building
will be taken in the fall.

A TROLLEY PARTY CAR.
II Attracts Attention on All sides OF
Its First Trip Last Night.


Its First Trip Last Night.
The trolley party car is recent thing
and Savannah is the third city in the
United States to get one. They began
in grim and quiet Philadelphia; Brooklyn
had the next, and Savannah, alive to all
the latest improvements. has the third.
AS it's name implies it is an electric car
fitted up for parties, the purpose being
a sort of pleasure car. This one is a beau
ty. 1t is car No. Is of the Electric Rail-
way Company, which has been refitted
and repainted, and otherwise frightened
up until it is a new car. 1t has capacity
of forty. The advertising racks have been
taken out, and everything made "spick,
span and clean"
There are over 200 lights on the car.
At the front. on the dashboard is a big
diamond or star, formed of forty flashing
red, white and blue lights of sixteen can
die power each. over the drivers hood at
each end of the car are five ffty-power
candle lights. On the caves of the car,
on both sides, are hung the parti-colored
globes of glowing light AT each end Of
the car is a pretty arch made of colored
lights, and a second row runs down the
line of the roof. The headlight is a fifty
candle power and glows like locomotive
headlight Inside are three ffty-candle
power lights, arranged to give the best
effect. This is a scheme or Receivers
Young and Collins of the Electric rail-
way and Mr.. Reid, secretary and treas
urer. 1t is a fad with them and they have
improved on the trolleys that are in use
in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
A jolly party took tho first ride last
night. Owing to the rain, several of those
invited did not take the trip. Among those
who went were Messrs. j. S. Collins and
]. R. Young, co-receivers of the road Hugh
Logan, w. J. Lindsay, R. NJ. Hicks, T.
G. Reid, directors; G. Freeman, ]. n. Ell
ton, H. Willink, M. t. Taylor, H. NJ
Lotion, w. c. Hartridge, c.. ]. White, f.
Garden, Jr., Chief McDermott, w. A. Da-
Wis, J. Mobiles, ]. d. Charlton, J. A. Nc
Farland, superintendent, and L. G. Nc
Dowell, assistant superintendent. The car
was in charge of Conductor w. b. Wiggin,
with George Shine as motorman. w. T.
Stewart, assistant electrician, went along
to see that all went right.
AS the car sped along the streets it
made the surroundings almost as bright
as day. The people rushed to the doors
and windows and shouted and cheered as
the merry party rushed by. 1t was fun
ny experience and those on board enjoyed
it very much.
1t is the intention of the company to
run it at stated intervals and take parties
around the belts and down to Thunder
bolt. This is a new wrinkle for the south,
and Messrs. Collins and Young were COM
plimented by their guests last night for
their enterprise in getting this car up.

DIRECT FROM LIFE.

Care in Securing a Design Decides "a
Large Contract.
Not very long ago a leading tobacco
manufacturing firm, about to bring out
new brand of goods, and desiring some
thing especially fetching in the way of
a label, requested several lithographing
houses to submit designs. A main re-
quirement was a good, striking picture of
a certain animal. The Morning News of
Savannah, Ca, one of the competing con-
Germs, sent an artist out into the country
to get what was wanted direct from life,
and succeeded in securing the order-a
considerable one-beeause its design was
true, artistic and satisfactory in all re-
spects.
Such painsta<ing in the execution of
work is Characteristic of the Savannah
News. 1t has a very large and complete
lithographing and printing plant, and is
rapidly building up fine business
throughout the south. The quality of its
work is the very highest and its prices
reasonable. Quite a number of tobacco
manufacturers are customers of the News,
and we cheerfully recommend this concern
to the whole trade-The Southern Tobac-

NOT TELLING ANYTHING YET.


Receiver Young SdlI Reticent as to
the Purchasers of the Atlantic
Short Line stock.
Receiver John r. Young of the ATTAIN
tic Short Line and Mr. Walter G. Charl-
ton, his attorney, returned yesterday from
Macon, where they have been looking
after the interests of that property. Re-
ceiver Young, when seen yesterday, stin
refused to say by whom the stock of the
Atlantic Short Line had been bought or
anything about It. 1t is pretty well set
tied, however, that the majority of the
stock has been bought up by the Georgia
and Alabama railroad, which is seeking
an inlet into Savannah, and this property,
1t is believed, would prove a good purchase
for it.
There is talk in some quarters to the
effect that the Southern Railway Com
pany has been quietly purchasing the
stock of the Georgia and Alabama rail-
road, or the old Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery. While this is, of course, in
line with the other steps in the railroad
field in this part of the country that have
been taken by the Southern of late, this
is as yet mere rumor, and has no au-
thentic foundation. The present control
of the Georgia and Alabama railroad says
it knows pretty we'll where the majority
OF the stock is located and it's policy is
to keep 1t as free and Independent line
and not allow the Southern to get control
of it.

GOT THINGS BADLY MIXED.
A Negro Who Tried to Locate the A.
II. A. Hall.

II. A. Hall.
Acting Sergeant Masters took in rather
queer case at the barracks last night. An
drew Lane is a half witted negro, noted
for his extreme ugliness, who makes a llv-
ing carrying notes and running errands.
Some negro boys began to tease him
last night, when Andrew started into clean
up the crowd Wesley Prioleau, one of
the crowd, drew pistol and pointed it at
Andrew either in fun or in earnest. An
drew was too quick for him, however, and
knocked it out of his hand after which he
secured the weapon and gave it to another
party to hold. He then started to the
barracks for a policeman. Prioleau fol-
lowed. with the intention Of persuading or
frightening him off and entered the bar
racks with him. Andrew preferred his
charge, however, and the sergeant de-
tained Prioleau while he sent Andrew back
to get the pistol to substantiate the charge
Andrew came back with the pistol all right
and Prioleau was locked up.
Prioleau told a rather queer Story about
the pistol. He said that his employer, a
Mr.. Reed, had gone to a meeting at the A.
p. A. hall and sent note to his wife by
strange negro for his pistol. Mrs. Reed
being unwilling to entrust the pistol to
stranger, gave it to Prioleau to take to her
husband. When asked where the A. p. A
hall was Proleau said that 1t was on
Drayton street, between Perry and Nc
Donough streets. This happens to be the
location of the Catholic Library hall. 1t
is hardly possible that there was an A. p
A. meeting held there last night.

Boom on Already.
Chairman Purse is moving things in the
exposition line. A number of probable ex-
hibitors were heard from yesterday. Supt.
d. II. Bytnewood was Kept on the run
all day looking after exhibitors and ex-
hibits. The Central railroad, which has
arranged for special exhibit in the
transportation building, will make the
greater part Of its exhibit in connection
with the Savannah exhibit. The amount,
it is learned. for which the exhibit COM
mittee will strike the county commits
sioners is $500, just $1,000 less than the
city's contribution. There is good reason
to believe that the board will make the
appropriation. The application will be
passed on no doubt at the next regular
meeting on Sept II.

SENATOR M MILAN.

VIII Continue to Represent Michigan in
the Upper House."
Hon. James Mcmillan, Of Detroit,
senior United States senator from Mich
igan, will continue to represent the
Wolverine state for another term Of six
years. Senator Mcmillan is one of the
most popular politicians in the west.
He is reported to be very rich man,
but the acquisition of wealth has not
turned his head He is just as demo
cratic in his manners to-day as he was
a quarter of century ago. In the
Congressional Directory the senator has
this to say of himself:
flames Mcmillan, of Detroit, was
born at Hamilton, Ont, May II, 1888,
was prepared for college, but in 1865
removed to Detroit, where he entered
upon business life. In 1868 he, with
others, established the Michigan Car
company, of which enterprise, with it's
various branches, be is the president
In 1876 he was member of the repub-
lican state central committee, and on
the death of Zachariah Chandler was
made chairman. Again, in 1886 and in
1890, he was elected chairman of the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-02-01
Hdmor at the Altar.

Some funny stories are told about
the marriage service. One of them re-
lates how an old man, brought rather
unwillingly to the altar, could not be
induced to repeat the responses. MY
good man." at length exclaimed the
clergyman, 81 really cannot marry You
unless you do as you are told" But
the man still remained silent. At this
unexpected hitch the bride lost all
patience with her future spouse and
burst out with: SEQ on, you old foot!
Say iG after him just the same as if you
was mocl1in' him." The same difficulty
occurred in another case. The clergy
man, after explaining what was neces-
sary and going over the responses sew
eral times without the smallest effect,
stopped in dismay, whereupon the bride
groom encouraged him with; go
ahead, pass'n go aheadl Thou'rt dom
bravely." Upon another occasion it
was, strangely enough, the woman who
could not be prevailed upon to speak.
When the clergyman demonstrated
with her she Indignantly replied
"Your father married me twice before,
and he wasn't akin me any of them
impertincnt questions at all"
