A THUNDERBOLT MELEE.
Harry Jordan dubbed by Two of the
o Suburbs Policemen.


There was quite an exciting episode at
Thunderbolt yesterday. in which the par
Elephants were Mr.. Harry Jordan and
Marshal Lentz and two Thunderbolt po-
licemen. The affair occurred in Winters
place, as the marshal went up to arrest
Jordan.
Several witnesses of the affair said last
night the first they knew of any disturb
ance was the sound of a policeman's whis-
tie. which brought up two others, and 1t
was seen they were endeavoring to make
an arrest. Jordan asked the policemen
not to handle him roughly. saying he
would go with them without any trouble
and several Of his friends, who were
around, made the same request. To these
it is stated, the Thunderbolt policemen
paid no attention, but jerked Jordan
around, and two of them struck him over
the head with their clubs, smashing his
hat. They then threw him down to hand
cuff him, one of the witnesses states, and
finally carried him off to the Thunderbolt
Jail.
The witnesses say they had not seen
Jordan do anything, and they did not
know what the charge against him was
Several of Jordans friends endeavored
to get him out of confinement and went

but it was refused, and he was required
to remain in the Jail over night The case
will probably come up before Mayor Nell

CHURCH EXTENSIONS WORK.
savannah Methodists Discuss Plans
For Next Year,

The annual meeting of the Savannah
Church Extension Society was held las
night at Wesley Monumental church. After
the reading of the scripture lesson from
Acts by Rev. c. E. bowman, the report
Of the treasurer Mr.. James l.. Christian
was read, and after its reading, Dr. S. A.
White, the president, presented his report
The report of the president was not fiat
tering in its handling of the questions re-
lating to the society. 1t showed that
the membership and interest is not what it
should be. An earnest appeal was made
for deeper interest in order that the So
ciety may WELD greater influence in re-
| ligious work and that it may perfect GER
tain plans it has under consideration.
| The object of the society, which is the
advancement of the church and Christian
ity in the city, the method of its conduct
and the use to which its funds are put,
were explained by the report.
Rev. Mr. Bowman made the address of
the evening. 1t was full Of interest. The
extension of the church was his theme and
he treated it in it's wider significance, and
that relating more directly to this city.
Mr.. Bowman said Methodism has a way
Of extending, as the congregation knew
well from the discussions of the subject
some weeks ago at the celebration of the
church's completion, that is in common
with that of Christianity which is now
taught in every land.
Il am proud of the fact that 1 am a
Methodist and have no apology to make
for it" said Mr.. bowman, 1.-THE Metho-
dists and Baptists are denominations that,
l believe, have been the means of saving
four-fifths of the souls that have entered
the church in the last century"
Ja said no be.ipvad no ifippraut exrefano
that rules the ministers of the Methodist
church Is the best that could be devised,
and he showed some of its advantages.
The masses of men in the towns and coun-
try are better reached by this system than
they would be by any other, Mr.. bowman
said, and he hoped that no conference for
along time time to come would see fit to
abolish it.
Methodist ministers, said Mr.. bowman,
are always ready to aid humanity. The de-
nomination can claim no monopoly in that
kind of preachers, however for no matter
how long a minister's coat nor how much
ecclesiastical millinery he may wear, there
are none that are not always ready to
kneel and pray for men or to bestow their
material aid.
A reference and concurrence in one of
Sam Jones speeches was made. 1t was to
the effect that other denominations have
their ancestries and ancient traditions.
Methodism, he said, has none of these, and
if it has not religion, it had better quit.
At the conclusion of the address an OPP
portunity was given the congregation to
become members of the society Many
availed themselves of it, and the list was
run up far into the 400s.
In the election of officers for the ensuing
year, MIR. w. L. Mingledorf was made
president; Mr.. w. b. Stubs was reelected
vice president, and Mr.. James L. Chris
tan and Mr.. G. p. Virgins were respec-
lively reelected treasurer and secretary.

Cohen Max. colored. was arrested last
night by Detective Scully for having a
lot of goods in his possession which he
could not account for. Max had nice
overcoat. two under coats, ladys dress
and several other articles.
Knowing Max well as an old thief De-
tective Scully had no hesitation in run

During the day Mr.. F. A. Pomeroy, who
lives at No. 126 Harris street, went TO the
police barracks to report the robbery of
his house the night before. Mr.. Harris
was surprised. as well as delighted, to
find the stolen goods already in possession
OF the police. The thief entered the house
while the family was at supper, went up
to the second floor and ransacked the
rooms and escaped with his plumber be-
fore the robbery was discovered. 1t takes
an old thief to do that the detectives say.
When Max got Off the gang about a

form. He Joined the church and got mar

sufficient 10 keep him In the path of recti-
