ADJUSTMENTS.

Manager Todd this morning an
nounces the Yaw concert of Thursday

was made yesterday. The Examiner

one Of the most charming and enjoy

hibition Of the yeriscope, which is now
shown far better than during last week.

Holders Of season tickets for the Cap

Wilton Lackaye and his fine COM
pany, which includes Marie wainwright,
c. w. Couldock, Miss Alice Evans, Miss
Franklin and others of equal dramatic
merit, had only a medium sized audi
ence last night at the Metropolitan
Theater. DIR. Belgraff" was powerfully
played, artistically and with such
strength, skill and realism, as to make
the performance high dramatic model.
But then, the play has not a ray of
sunshine. 1t begins in gloom and mys-
terry, continues In shadow and horrors,
and ends in manner to throw nervous
women into hysteria, make the timid
dream bad dreams and induce the stout
est of men to retire between acts to
brace up. 1t is a hypnotic horror, a
dramatic story of wonderful power and
marvellous intensity; an unreal, awful
and absorbingly interesting tale.

POLICEMAN IN A BAD WAY.
PatroIman Kearney and His son-in-
Law Make Things Lively.

James Lane and Patrick kearney raised
a ruction in the Fort last night Kearney
is a policeman. but was on duty and In
citizens cloths. Lane IS his father-in-
law.
The two men were drinking. and went
into Mrs. Hauigaus store az Bryan and
Houston streets According 90 the state
ments Of AIRS. Harrigau and others. the
Two men abused her and behaved out
rageously. IL seems that about week
ago Mrs. Harrigan struck little child
OF Lanes, which. with party OF other
children. was annoying her at her place
The child Is said TO BE- quite seriously
injured.
II was on this account that Lane and
his s0n-in-law went into Mrs. Harrigan' :
place. Policeman keane came up and
succeeded in Quietiug the two men. Lane
was taken of by friends and put 10 bed,
and kearney went across the street
In the meantime some one had tele-
phoned the police barracks that there was
big row In progress at Bryan and Hous-
ton streets. The first report was that
man had been killed there and Sergt Kill
ourhy sent Detective Sculy al once 20
investigate. When the second report came
ia Chief McDermott sent Policemen Hal
ford Christie and Crosby.
Morning News reporter, who was at
the barracks when the report came In,
followed the detective to the scene. Every
thing appeared 10 be quiet in the neigh
horhOOd. with the exception of small
knot Of people gathered around Mrs Har-
rigans. an OF whom seemed very indig-
nant at the conduct OF Lane and Kearney.
Kearney seemed to have II in for Police
man kcame. however. and when the two
met a few minutes later Kearuey attempt
ed 10 assault Keaue The other three
policemen arrived just at this time and
placed Kearney under arrest. Keane was
evidently in a bad humor
and the policeman had some
difficulty in persuading him to
20 with them. After going a short DIS
lance he refused TO 20 further unless the
policemen would release him and allow
him to walk by himself which arrange
ment was finally agreed 10. A large crowd
followed the party TO the barracks.
Arriving there Chief McDermott ordered
Kearney locked up at once without tho
privilege of giving bond. which was done.
The chief also suspended him immediate
". His case will be brought 10 the atten-
tIOn of the police commission at once.

The Metropolitan system to BE In
PRODUCED in the Fire Department.
Fire Chief Mcguire is at work arranging
the metropolitan leave system, which has
been adopted by the commission for use
in the Savannah fire department.
Under the metropolitan system the men
are allowed from three to four hours of
in turn every day or every other day at
least so that during the week each ire
man Will get one full day OFF and some
times more. Under the old system each
fireman was allowed one day off in each
week. This frequently resulted in the en-
Slnes and hose companies being short of
men when an alarm was received. as in
audluOn to the man of on leave. there
might be one, and sometime two more.
men from the same company at their
meals
Inc metropolitan system is said to OBJ
Viate this difficulty entirely by giving each
man IN each company a certain number of
hours on each day. Many of the firemen
are not pleased with the prospect prefer
ring the OLD system, which gave them a
whole day to themselves once a week. 10
getting few hours each day under the
new system. There IS some talk of the
hremen presenting their view of the mat
yer 10 the commission, but nothing has
been done as yet

body or A YOUNG CHILD
Found Under "A StOOD I'm Duffy street
Lame, Near West broad.


The body of a white child was found
yesterday morning about O'Clock by
negro named Scott Jenkins, under a stoop
next door to the corner of Duffy street
lane and West Broad street.
The child was wrapped in an old piece
Of cloth. that had the appearance Of a
portion OF coat. 1t had not been there
long, as Jenkins had passed the same
place about three hours before that time
end il was not there then, he states.
The matter was reported to Coroner
GOette, who took charge of the body, but
he could learn nothing of its parentage
or where 1t came from. The body had
the appearance of that of a healthy child
just born, and Coroner Goette's concu-
sion was that it had not been born more
than an hour or two when 1t was placed
there He buried the body in the after
noon.
The matter was reported at the police
barracks, and was put in the hands Of the
city detectives Nothing was learned LAST
night, however, about the child's parent
age or why il was placed there. 1t bore
no evidences of violence, but il is an
easy matter to get rid of a young child
without that, and the presumption L.
from all appearances, that there is some
criminality connected with the matter.

ence With Mr. Conner.
Mayor Young of Augusta was in the city
yesterday, on his way to Tybee where
he is going to spend a few days in the
sea breezes. He stopped in Savannah yes
terday morning to have a conference with
President H. NJ. Conner of the Central
railroad, with regard to a proposed agree
ment TO give the railroads entering Au-
gusta the right to use certain streets for
the purpose of making transfers and con-
nections.
The whole matter is at present in the
courts the litigation having grown our
OF the fact that the charter of the old
Augusta and Summerviue Railroad Com
pany, which had the right to use thesh
streets, expired last March.
The railroads claim that they have cor
tam rights and privileges in connection
with the use of these streets, and are
endeaVoring to reach an agreement bv
which they can secure the necessary per-
manent concessions from the city.
All the railroads entering Augusta are
interested in the matter, and are anxious
10 reach satisfactory agreement with
regard to it. 1t is not likely that thIs
VIII be done, however, until after Judge
galloway renders his decision upon tbe
questions in this connection now pending
before him. F-N'ii5
