Policeman Jernigan arrested Glenn Har-
ris. oolored, aged 80 years, at his house
on Zubly street yesterday, on information
that the man had assaulted his wife the
night before. The negro drives a coal
cart. He said he found, upon going home,
that his wife had failed to prepare supper
in time The fact that there was no sup.
per ready incensed him, and he made a
grab for her throat. She raised cry for
help, and the advent of neighbors brought
Harris to his senses. People residing in
the neighborhood informed the police yes
terday, and Harris was arrested. He will
be given a hearing to-day.

CITY ACCOUNTS SHIFTED ABOUT.
$500 of Bills Changed From Public
Property to Fire Department..

$1,000 of Bills Changed From Public
Property to Fire Department..
There was a lively debate in council last
night over the report of the committee
on accounts, to which was referred the
matter of twenty-five bills charged by the
fire department to the public property
account.
The committee was instructed to inves-
tigate these and other expenditures charg-
ed to the same account, and to direct as
to the proper departments to which they
should be charged.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee some time ago. The report sub
mitted last night announces that the COM
mittee has directed the twenty-five bills
in question, amounting to $167 81,
charged to the fire depart
ment. 1t has also directed
that the one-fourth purchase money for
new fire station No. 2, $225O, and the cost
of labor and fixtures for the same $S,7142S,
be charged to the same department. This
makes a total of $7,571S9 to be charged to
the fire department, and will more than
knock out the estimated saving of the COM
mission in this years appropriation
If this had been all of the committees
report 1t would probably have been adop-
ted without objection. 1t recommended,
however, that bill of $3.50 for straighten-
ing the east line of Bull street be charged
to the street opening appropriation and a
bill for $422.63 for laying a sidewalk by
Colonial park to the street and lane de-
partment.
Alderman Charlton, chairman of the
street opening committee, and Chairman
Davis of the street and lane committee
objected strenuously to these accounts be-
ing charged to their departments without
their consent or approval
Alderman Huh fled similar objection
as chairman of the fire committee, in be-
half of the fire department which he said
seemed to be the chief sufferer by the
committees report
After considerable discussion the report
of the committee was adopted, Alderman
Charlton Davis and Hull voting In the
negative.

INJURED PLAYING VOLCANO.
Two Boys Dig a Mine, Loaded 1t and
Blow Themselves Up.

Leon Ybanez, the 13-year-old son of T.
A. Ybanez, All York street, east, who was
injured by an explosion of gun powder, is
in a precarious condition at his home, and
the accident may be the means of depriv-
ing him of his sight.
In company with one of his compan-
ions, Charles Adams, Leon went into the
back yard of his home. and the two boys
were soon engaged in excavating a place
in the ground in which to put the powder
and start miniature volcano.
The powder was placed in the hole and
Leon stopped down to light the blast He
misjudged the time, however, and the re-
suit was that the powder exploded and
the entire force of the fire and sand struck
the little fellow directly in the face The
result was his face was badly scared, and
the sand was forced into his eyes. The
attending physician, DR.. Stone does not
think, however, that the sight is lost,
though this cannot be ascertained until
the injuries develop more than at present.
The mishap has created, a genuine inn
preston among the small boys of the
neighborhood ana has emphasized the
danger which exists in the careless use
of combustibles.

NO CONVENTION NEEDED.
NEW CONSTITUTION AN EXPENSE
NOT JUSTIFIED JUST NOW.

Needed Amendments Can Be Voted
Expenditure of 100000 Too Great
in View of the Condition of the
COde-BusIness and Professional
Men View the Proposition I'm the
Same Light.
Savannah lawyers generally do not see
the need for a new state constitution at
the present time. The main objection to
the formation of such an instrument and
putting it before the people is the great
cost it would necessitate without any real
need for it.
There are several defects in the pres
ent constitution" said one well-known at
torney yesterday, "bpt they are not such
as are in the way. They are not causing
sufficient trouble to necessitate so large
an expenditure as 100000 in getting up a
new constitution. There are one or two
things in the present constitution which
might very well be changed, such as the
term of office of the governor, which should
be four years, but they can be changed
without any constitutional convention, just
as a change was made in the number of
judges of the supreme court. For the few
changes of this kind that are desirable
there is absolutely no reason for going to
any such expense. The people would have
to vote on the adoption of the constitu-
ton anyway and they might just as well
vote on such amendments as may be need
ed.'
This may be said to be a general opinion
among those who have given the subject
attention. Practically the same state
ment was made by several well-known
lawyers, all of whom seem agreed that
there is no need for the expenditure of
money at the present time for that purpose.
Another lawyer quoted Shakespeare. Let
Gus rather bear the ills we have than fly
to others that we know not off, he said.
Il do not feel that we should take the
chances on it at the present time. What
ever the new constitution might be- ii is
possible that 1t would contain more errors,
if anything, than the present one. 1t is
possible, 1 say, for there is no telling
what a constitutional convention would
do. OF course the people could reject it
If it were not satisfactory, but then the
money would be gone and nothing accom-
plished One or two advisable changes
would not hurt the present instrument,
but they can be made without a conven-
ton, and the large expense that would be
incident upon calling it. The old roof may
need a shingle to stop a leak, but with
that patch it would be as good as new,
and would withstand just as many storms
as ii has within the twenty years during
which it has protected the people,
Opinions among business men and tax
payers generally are very much the same.
They object to the heavy expense which
appears to be a needless one just at this
time, especially as the old constitution of
1877 seems to be in pretty good shape, and
able to do good service and answer every
purpose for some time to come.

MEATH BoxAvENTunE's SHADES.
The Remains of Mrs. sarah A. Law
ton Were Laid to Rest.


The funeral of the late Mrs. Sarah AL
exander Lawton was held yesterday af-
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock, from the family
residence, No. 5l6 Abercorn street. The
friends of the deceased and of members of
the family began gathering some time be-
fore that hour, and everything was in
readiness for the administration of the
the spacious parlors of the home were
filed
The coffin was placed in the center of
one of the parlors Upon and around 1t
lay the white flowers, arranged in many
handsome and tasteful designs emble
matte in their purity of the life Of her
whom their sorrowing donors had so high
ly esteemed for those virtues that made
her the beloved of all of whom she was
known.
In a room farther back, partially OBJ
scured, were seated those members Of the
family, upon whom the irreparable loss
of a loving mother, sister and aunt had
fallen. In the other rooms and the halls
were many friends. There were present
many whom the touch of time upon their
heads pointed out as having been the
friends of the lady whom they had gath
cred together to honor for the last time,
while youth and vigor showed by their
presence that they, too, held in respect
and admiration the qualities Of the dead.
The members of the choir of the indie
pendent Presbyterian church, of which
Mrs. Lawton had been such an eXem-
plary member, Mrs. Dupont and Mrs
Wickenburg, sang touching hymns. The
first was that with which the service was
opened, 81 Would Not Live Away
Upon the conclusion, Rev. w. A. Nisbet,
pastor of the Second church, read pass
ages from the scriptures from which the
listeners readily drew appica tons to the
life of the deceased and that reward that
awaited her good works. When Mr.. Ms
bet had concluded his reading, How Firm
a Foundation" was sung.
Rev James Y. Fair, pastor of the Inde-
pendent church, followed, reading the fif-
tenth chapter of first Corinthians. After
he had finished this passage, he offered
an eloquent prayer. He then repeated the
lines of the first verse Of Rock of Ages"
which was sung.
A long cortege followed the remains to
Bonaventure cemetery, where the inter-
ment took place. The service at the grave
was performed by DR.. Fair, another hymn
being sung by Mrs. Wickenburg and Mrs.
Dupont. The last resting place of the no
bic woman was Strewn with flowers.
The pall-bearers were Gen. G. M Sor-
rell, Col. John Screven, Mr.. Randolph AK
son, Mr.. T. M. Cunningham, Dr.. ]. b.
Read, Capt. w. w. Williamson, Capt. w.
w. Mackall and Mr.. George J. Mills
Among the relatives who attended the
funeral were Mr.. w. f. Alexander and
Mr.. G. A. Alexander of Augusta, and
Judge Alex Haskell of Columbia. Gen.

NO EFFECT ON APPOINTMENTS.
FEDERAL OFFICE SEEKERS NOT
DIsMAYED BY ELECTIONS.

Hannn's influence Regarded the
Same Whether In the Senate or
Out of 1t, So Far ms Minor Appoint
ments Are COncerned-PrOspec
of Savannah Candidates For POST
Office and Custom House.
The recent elections will have no effect
upon the local federal appointments so
far as known. This is the opinion Of
prominent republican politicians here.
. Hanna's election or defeat interests them
more than anything else, as some of them
are basing strong hopes upon Hanna's
backing. At the same time 1t is said that
this makes little difference, as whether
Hanna is reelected senator or not he will
still continue active in the matter of fed
eral appointments.
The recent election will have no ef-
feet upon either local or national issues"
said Mr.. w r. Leaken yesterday. In
stead of being a democratic landslide it Is
pretty good case of draw with all the
advantages in favor of the republicans.
am satisfied with the informa-
ton have received that
the IepuDilCdHS nave carried DOln
Maryland and Ohio. This means Cor
mans defeat and the election of a repub-
lican senator in his stead, and the re-elec-
ton of Hanna. Under these circumstances
the republicans can afford to bear up I'M
der the loss of New York, the effect of
which is entirely local"
Other republicans consider the matter
in the same light. Recent calculations
are upset, they say.
If the local appointments are decided
upon at an early day our crowd will win,
and if the appointments are postponed the
advantage will be with the other crowd
If the postoffice appointment is made be-
fore the custom house, Harry Blum 1t is
said, will be the man. If the collector of
customs is appointed first, there
will be scramble for the
postoffice. Col. ]. H. Deveaux IS
said to be in the lead just now for the
custom house. He has the backing of
Senator Hanna and strong Endorsements
from leading business men of Brunswick
where he held the position of collector
under the Harrison administration. Sa-
vannah business men~indorsed Col. Dew
eaux for the Brunswick appointment, and
ii is said that the favor is being returned
with interest by the citizens of the latter
city. There is little expectation, however,
that there will be anything definite before
January.
