This was only a play for time, and

went TO supper, but they took the pre-
caution to lock a pair of handcuffs

SOCIAL GOSSIP

Rumors OF subscription cotiilion to
be given in Lansing hall got into The
COURIER Office. When the police were
consulted they could not decide how
they got in nor exactly their identity.
The Patriarch'3 cotillion on last Fri.
day night was an unusually pretty
party. Lansing hall was decotated with
flags and bunting by Captain Guilfoyle
and Professor Barbour. The smaller
room at one side OF the hall was cut in
two by screens and rugs and the ices
and cakes were served there. The dec
Grating schame was so judiciously fol-
lowed that the suite OF rooms had the
air OF the ball room in a private house.
The favors were very pretty and origi-
nal. Mr.. Faucon anc Miss Clark led

CYCLE CLUBS SPRING MEET.
MEMORIAL DAY RACES AT WHEEL
NEWS PARK.

The Lengue sanction Secured and
the Race Programme Announced.
The Prize List Being Made Up-Au
the Crack Local Riders to Enter.
A Tandem Race on the Programme
and Other Races TO BE Added
The programme for the wheelmen's
spring meet, to be held at Wheelmen's
park Memorial day, has been completed
and the details are being arranged.
The meet promises to be one Of the
best race meets ever held in Savannah.
There are more ambitious riders in the
city to-day than could be found in the
entire south a few years back. Every day
the park and the roads are alive with
enthusiastic wheelmen training to get in
shape for the events.
Where on former occasions a few rid
ers competed for the prizes in every race
it looks as though there will hardly be
room on the track for the entries. Each
race will be holly contested by many
new riders, and a number of surprises
are expected, as the winners cross the
tape.
The programme, to start at p. m,
is announced as follows:
Second Race-One mile. open.
Third Race-Half mile, boys under Is
years old.
Fourth Race-One mile, handicap.
Fifth Race-Quarter mile, girls under
IS years old.
Sixth Race-Half mile, open.
Seventh Race-One mile, open, S-minute
Eighth Race-one mile, open. tandem
race.
nah Cycle Club Entries will be received
by william baltimore, secretary The
club has already obtained the sanction
men. and is now working at the list of
prizes which it intends to make very at
tractive.
The one-mile novice will probably have
the largest number of entries on account
of the number of new riders that have
made their appearance this season This
race is likely to be divided in heats. II
is open to those who have never won a
prize in a track race.
There are two other races that will at
tract this class Of riders, the three-min-
ute class race, which is open only to those
who have not won the first position in
a track race, or trial heat in the same,
or better time than three minutes; and the
chance.
In the open races there will be some
interesting contests between the flyers
that have appeared on the track in former
meets, with many new riders to push
them for first honor. This is where the
surprises are looked for. as it is common
talk among wheelmen that some of the
novices are showing unusual speed.
The boys are as ambitious as the men.
The boys of former occasions will be
found entered in the mems races, while
many under fifteen will try to win their
first prize.
Something unique is promised for the
girls race. After a review of the pro-
gramme, II looks as though the tourna-
ment will be an event. The officers of the
meet have not yet been appointed, but will
be announced later on, with the pro-
grammes entry blanks

Ullman was seen at the last match when
he SPARED ten rounds with Denny Gala

has twice been given the decis-

is a good man.

SourHsIDERy DIDN'T MEET.
No Quorum of the League Owing 10
a Observation-Disclosures

The meeting Of the Southside Improve
ment League called for last night was
not held. owing TO the lack Of quorum.
This was due 10 several reasons. the chief
being that there was a MISUNDERSTANDING
as TO time and place.
The call for the meeting published in
the Morning News failed to state that the
meeting WAS to be held at Yonge's hall.
and most Of those who so understood
thought that the meeting would begin at
O'Clock. At that hour about a score or
the members Of the league were on hanG.
but as neither the president nor secre-
tary had made his appearance, most or
the crowd went home. Secretary Nelson
cropped In at Sis O'Clock, but President
irendergast did not show up until later.
MT. Prendergast said that the meeting
was called for $50 O'Clock. Most of those
who mad called had gone away again by
thls time, and II was seen that there was
no chance OF getting quorum.
Among those present was Mr.. 5. Krous-
kou, VINO has been active in putting for

OF Anderson street. Mr.. KrOuskon ana

As one of the reasons for the small At

WANTS CONTROL OF HIS SISTER.
L. A. Harris Brings Habeas Corpus
Proceedings Before Judge Ferrill.

Proceedings Before Judge Ferrill.
Judge Ferril1 of the court of ordinary
will have an interesting habeas corpus
case before him tomorrow. Lewis A.
Harris has brought complaint that his
sister Julia A. Harris, Is restrained from
her liberty by Mrs. NJ B. Parker, and is
kept by eompulsion at her home at Or
ange and West Broad streets.
The case is a peculiar one. The brother
states that he has always taken care of
the sister, and is now able to do so, and
insists on giving her a home. She is
now about 10 years old, and has, he states,
been in his care almost since infancy. He
claims that being young girl, she stays
with Mrs. Parker because the latter al
lows her a good many liberties, such as
going out to dances and parties, which
he considers is not right for a girl OF
her age. He is entitled to the care and
custody of her, he says, and he wants
to give her a home.
1t is insisted that the detention of the girl
by Mrs. Parker is Illegal, and states She
claims to hold her by virtue of an order
from the court of ordinary, which order
is not in existence, and no copy of sucn
an order could be affixed to the petition.
Under an order from Judge FerriH, the
girl was taken charge of last night by
Sheriff Roman and given a room at the
Jail, where she will be detained until al
ter the hearing tomorrow, when ii will
be decided whether she is to remain with
Mrs. Parker or go with her brother

sEEMANN, FLOYD s. co.'s Loss.
Their LampbIae< Factory Burned
with DIR. NOrtOn's Houses.


The burning of DR.. r. G. Norton's house
and barn on his farm west of the city
and the new lampblack factory of See
mann. Floyd & Co.. night before last,
resulted in greater loss than was first
estimated.
'Seemann. Floyd & Co. estimate their
loss on buildings, etc, at $1,000, on which
there was a small insurance. Their new
factory, which was started day before
yesterday, and two warehouses and sta
bles, were burned. The factory and burn
ed buildings are just east of DR.. Norton's
property Mr.. Seemann said yesterday
that the fire could not have started from
sparks from the factory. because there
are no sparks. and the wind was blowing
from the northwest. carrying the flames
from DR.. Norton's buildings in the direc-
ton OF the factory.
Seemann. FLOYD & Co. have spent a
good deal of time and money in bring
ing their manufacture of lampblack to
perfection, and the new factory had just
started with a promise OF turning out a
supply that would more nearly equal the
demand than the old factory. They will
probably rebuild the factory at once on
a still greater scale
