TO DISCUSS MORALITY.
Conference of COIOred People ut
Second baptist Church To-day.

A series of meetings of great interest to
the colored people will be held at the Sec
ond African Baptist church, on Greene
square, to-day. The purpose of the meet
ings is to discuss sanitary and moral con-
ditions among the colored population of
the city and means of improving the
same.
The conference is the result of the re-
cent action Of the Evangelical Minister'S
Union, composed of the colored ministers
of the city, in drawing up an address to
the authorities of the city, reciting the
conditions under which the colored peo-
pie live, and suggesting means of remedy
ing the same. The conference is for the
purpose Of more fully impressing upon the
colored people themselves the unhealthful
conditions under which they live and
arousing them to the necessity of making
a concerted effort themselves to improve
their condition.
There will be three meetings, one at 1870
a. m, one at 4:SO p. m. for the women, and
one at $50 p. m Papers will be read at
the morning session by DIR. w. D. Crum OF
Charleston and Drs. c. McKane and S.
Palmer Lloyd Of Savannah At the night
session papers will be read by DR. NJ. C
McClennon Of Charleston and DR.. ]. II.
Bugg OF Savannah.
Health Officer LeHardy has promised to
attend the conference and give the colored
people the benefit OF his views upon the
subjects under discussion. The action of
the evangelical union and the conference
to be held to-day are the results Of DR..
LeHardy's address to the colored minis
ters and physicians shortly after his cleo
ton as health officer There seems to be
some difference, however, in regard to the
conference, which some of the ministers
say is not In harmony with the pa
per printed by DR.. LeHardy. by the Minis
ters' Union.

BOXED HER HUBBY'S EARS.
Angry Wife Resented His Greeting
an Old Acquaintance.

-AhSNy NAAG htSenLeu MS UEeellnS
an old Acquaintance.
The Columbia-bound train over the
Florida Central and Penisular railroad
yesterday morning took back to the South
Carolina capitol a woman whose stay in
Savannah had tided over exactly one day.
1t is more than probable her intention had
been to remain longer, but matters got
rather hot for her as soon as she had left
the train that brought her in from Co.
lumbia.
The story goes that she and another
woman had come down to meet two rail-
road men. One of these is a married
man, and his wife is not the kind to tame
ly submit to the estrangement of the affec-
lions of her husband. She was on hand
when the greeting between her husband
and the woman from Columbia took place
and the front of the passenger depot was
at once enlivened with a rather stirring
scene.
Outstretched the hand Of the man to
welcome his friend from Columbia; out
stretched the hand of the Columbia friend
to return the affectionate pressure; then
outstretched the hand of the irate wife to
box the ears of her gallant lord and mas
ter and soundly the job was done. The
presence of the wife on the scene was
wholly accidental. In company with
friend she had come down to meet some
one expected on the train. While in the
depot she saw the women from Columbia
alight from the train. The woman from
Columbia was not a stranger to the wife.
She had known her before, and the knowl-
edge she had stored up was not such as
to throw her into a delirum of delight on
recognizing her.
The woman from Columbia and her
friend walked to the depot entrance. The
suspicious wife and her friend followed.
At the door the appearance of her hus-
band proved combinations strong as
proofs of holy writ" to the jealous wife,
and the cordially of the greeting aroused
the demon of Jealousy. Fiercely she flew
al her husband not the woman. He seiz-
ed her hands after receiving a buffet or
two and held her until her reason had as
serted itself Then he suggested that she
go on home.
The woman from Columbia in the mean
time had sought safety in the flight of
one of the most cadaverous of the street
hack horses, and she and her friend left
the waring spirits of connubial disorder
to settle the matter as best they might.
When the woman from Columbia appeared
at the depot to return from whence she
came, she was again accompanied by her
friend. She did not appear to be entirely
at ease in her manner, as she approached
the depot. Anxious glances were cast
around and the officer on duty proved
welcome sight to her eyes. Walking up to
him she said she had heard that the in
censed wife was to be on hand to do her
up. The officer assured her of his pro-
lection If any violence were attempted,
but condemned her conduct in no meas
ured terms.
The return Of the arrant Columbians
possibly averted the occurrence of an
other difficulty.

THEY SHOT TO WIN.
Forest City Gun Club Again WOrsted
the Palmetto Club.


The fourth match of the series between
the Forest City and the Palmetto gun
Club, of Charleston, was shot yesterday
on the grounds of the home club and after
a close and exciting contest, victory again
was content to perch upon the banner Of
the Forest City team.
This victory makes the Savannah club
the winner of three of the series of seven
contests to be shot. The first of the Sc
ries fell to Charleston, but since that ini-
tial success they have been unable to
achieve a second.
Two contests Lave been shot in each Of
the cities, the first taking place in Charles
ton. The contests then alternated between
the two cities every two weeks. The next
contest Of the series will be shot in
Charleston. If the Forest City team again
wins, the handsome Il. G. Powder trophy
will fall to it, as the best four of the seven
shoots will have then been won. The Sa-
vannah shots hope TO bring back the cup
from Charleston on the next trip The
handsome silver trophy will be the sec
ond that has been won from the Palmet-
to club shots.
Last year the pennant for the interstate
championship was won and now floats on
the breeze at the clubs grounds on Estill
avenue.
The shooting yesterday. as a rule, was
not as good as that usually done by the
clubs, the light being poor. The follow
ing Is the detailed score Of the shoot:

The Rev. A. G. Dixon. pastor of tho Hanson
Place Baptist Church. Brooklyn, in his sermon
yesterday morning referred to a banquet that
was given at Coney Island q few weeks ago. at
which, he said, city official assured the keep.
ers Of dives that they would not be hold strictly
to tho law.
"As result" he said, "Coney Island has
been suburb Of Sodom. Indeed for outrageous
indecency Sodom bore no comparison to this
place for vileness. One cannot speak in public
of tho scenes which are daily enacted at that re-
sort, and by which young people Of both sexes
arc polluted. 1t is tho business of the police to
know these things and prevent them. but no ac-
tion was taken until the sworn affidavits Of rep
rosentatives OF the Law Enforcement Society
brought the matter before the Mayor and COM
pelled him to enforce the law"
The Rev. Mr.. Dixon then scored an unattached
young Methodist minister in this manner:
4 young Jeroboam, son OF Newnb who passed
for Methodist preacher. has been posing as
reformer; while he drinks the wine and enjoys
the foul displays with his friends. He was once
connected with tho Law Enforcement Society.
but 1t was discovered that his assistance was
rather hindrance than help and his services
were therefore dispensed with. He has since
organized an Independent Law and Order
League. as he termed 1t, under whose auspices
he is at this time posing as a roformer. but in
Is being used by the enemies Of the Law
forcing tho law. Let It be understood that this
young adventurer has now nothing to do with
this society"
