TROUBLESOME NEGROES.
The Jordan Joint Keepers Attack Po
licemen With Beer Bottles
and Glasses.

Saturday afternoon the police went
to Ben Jordan's joint in North Topeka
and raided it. He was arrested by the
police last Tuesday for maintaining a
nuisance by selling liquors, and it is
said that he went right back to selling
again.
At any rate,4when the officers enter
ed his place, which is west of Kansas
avenue in North Topeka, Saturday, he
seemed to be doing a good business.
Ben Jordan resisted arrest, and his
wife and daughter, the notorious Ella
Buckner, tried to drive the officers
away. Beer bottles and beer glasses
were hurled. The officers overpowered
Jordan and his family and the patrol
wagon hauled away the joint stuff.
Saturday night joint was raided on
East Fifteenth street near the creek,
which is said to have been run by ex-
Deputy Constable Charles Mcmillan.
Mcmillan was arrested on the charge of
running a nuisance and locked up. He
used to be deputy constable in Justice
Growers court and was later in JUS
tice Chesney's court. The usual joint
fixtures were seized by the police at
this place.

a Remarkable Cure of Chornic Diar
rhOea,

In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 18th Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers, contracted chronic
diarrheoa. It has given me a great deal
of trouble ever since. have tried a
dozen different medicines and several
prominent doctors without any perma-
nent relief. Not long ago a friend of
mine sent me a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took so
cent bottle; and now I can say that
am entirely cured. cannot be thank
ful enough to you for this great remedy.

FIRST OF ITS KIND.
Threatened Strike of the Government
Telegraph Clerks in En- gland

London, Aug. 14.-The telegraphers
connected with the postofice depart
ment of the government held a great
meeting last evening to discuss the
question of strike in view of the de-
cision of the Duke of Norfolk, the post
master general with respect to the prin-
cipal grievances recently laid down be-
fore him by a committee of the tele-
graph clerks association
The postmaster general in his reply
to the petition, declined to agree to an
increase of the maximum salary from
160 pounds to 100 pounds, though he
promised to relieve the pressure of work
by appointing 40 additional superin-
tendents and to abolish technical ex-
aminations in the case of candidates
for senior grades of clerks. The pro-
ceedings showed that the expected and
requisite support from the postal teIe-
graph clerks in the provinces is not
Forthcoming, and the meeting decided
not to strike but to continue to press
the claims of the London association
upon the government with greater
resolution.

GRAND TETON UNTROD.
e Cheyenne Party Recently Tried tc
Reach the Ton but FaiIed

Reach the Top but Failed.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 16.-State Aud
1tor W. .. owen and his deputy, Prof
NIeswander, returned yesterday from
a trip through the Yellowstone Park
and JackSon'S Hole country, and give
lnterest -ng accounts of an attempt
made to scale the picturesque peak of
the Grand Teton.
The altitude of the peak, as given
by Hayden, is 13. 700 feet Auditor
owen has made a number of measure
ments, and is satisfied that the correct
height is over 14,O0O feet HAYDEN
claimed to have climbed to the sumnit
of the peak in 1872. Later members of
his party admitted that the summit
was not reached. but that the highest
point was within short distance of
the summit, and that they had mark
ed the place reached with a monument
of stones.
In his recent attempt to reach the
summit of the mountain, Mr. Owen
round the Hayden monument, and also
found it to be at least SEQ feet from the
top of the peak
AT the highest point reached. the
barometer showed the elevation to be
1S, 500 feet From that point to the sum-
mIt distance of about 400 feet, the
peak consists of an almost vertical
shaft of granite, up which the party
made six unsuccessful attempts to
climb
Auditor Owen says he is certain that
no human being has ever stood upon
the summit of the peak, and that it
cannot be scaled without artificial aids
such as ladders and ropes. From the
monument left by the HAYDEN party.
Mr.. Owen climbed 100 feet upward, un-
til his progress was stopped by an over
hanging ledge of granite coated with
ice, which stopped all attempts to go
higher. The peak ranks with the great
mountain peaks of the world in its in
accessibility. No one but an exper-
fenced mountain climber can master it.

BOTTLING OLD WHISKY.
5000 Barrels of Kentucky's Product
Saved From Waste.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 16.-Three thou
sand barrels of old whisky are being
bottled at the public warehouse by
permission of Secretary Gage. This

was brought back again and put in
bond this time at the public ware
house.
From age and handling the barrels
got into a condition of dissolution, and
the contents were in danger OF going to
waste.
The value of the liquor is placed at

CHRISTIANITY AND CRITICISM.
Rev. Charles II. StrOnG's Reply to
Robert InRersoII.


Robert InRersOIl.
Rev. Charles H. Strong preached last
night at st. Johns church continuation
of his sermon of last Sunday night on
christianity and Modern Criticism"
Mr.. Strong said that time failed him last
Sunday night, and he was unable to treat
the subject as he desired. He gave a
summary of his arguments at that time.
He said that he wanted to call attention
to the sermon preached, if sermon it could
be called, two weeks ago by Robert In
gersoll.
There was a time" said Mr.. Strong
when Ingersoll spoke with a logical re-
gard for facts, but 1 now think it possible
that he has grown angry at the badgering
of the parsons, and it is this that induced
him to remark that al the churches are
useless and the preachers a drawback to
progress"
In reply to Ingersoll, Mr.. Strong said
that all evil does not come from the
church. and 1t had been his melancholy
experience to encounter much outside of
the bounds of the church. The church of
to-day is no tyrant over the reason and
conscience. There is no intention to an
null the God-given powers of mind and to
deny the right of one to indulge his own
reason.
MIR. Strong drew picture of want and
privation, and the helping and saving
hand of the church stretched out to the
haunts of crime and sin to form an oppos-
stated by the infdel. The preachers of
the gospel were eulogized for their
noble work. Mr.. Strong said that a man.
who would say that these men are a
hindrance to progress, Is himself not up
with the day and cognizant of the work
the preachers do. Dogmas in the church
are by some esteemed it's greatest evil
and they receive much criticism, but dog
mas, said Mr.. Strong, mean the same as
doctrines, and doctrines a church must
have, as no religion could rest purely
upon the emotions. The great truths of
Christianity must be accepted as unds.
puted facts, and when so accepted they
become the rock upon which both the
course of earthly life and immortality
rest. The attack is not really upon the
dogmas, but upon dogmatic teachings.
Mr.. Strong said that the attack on
Christianity is sometimes made by statc>
ments that the goodness of Christ was
copied. This he dlscredited by the cita-
ton of the nations of antiquity, from
which a religion might have been copied,
| and the disparity, in all that would appeal
to either the mind or the heart in any Of
those with the noble religion of Christ.
was shown. 1t is said that Christianity
borrowed its doctrines from Buddhism.
Sin" said Mr. Strong, Sin Buddhism
is the desire to continue to exist and SAL
walton is the total absence of either emo
ton of consciousness. Is that ,hristlan.
ity?"
Mr.. Strong said that this controversy
between adherents and opponents OF
Christianity is a great storm that is pass,
ing over the world and its result will be
for good

DR. BRuNSER,s SUCCESSOR.
Drs. w. w. Owens md j. b. Graha m
Mentioned For Health Officer.

The resignation of DIT. W. F. Drummer
as health officer, with the announcement
that he had accepted a position with the
United States marine hospital service at
Havana, was generally discussed yester-
day.
The question of a successor to DR.. Brun-
ner is naturally one of much interest.
DR.. Brunner's resignation is to take eff
feet April a. The city council meets on
the night Of April 81. when the resigna-
ton will be officially announced. 1t is
hardly likely that the vacancy will be
filled at the same meeting.
An acting health officer will probably
be appointed to perform the duties of the
Office, in order to give council time to con-
slider the question of a successor to DR..
Drummer. Two names have been mention
ed in this connection, those of DIR. w. w.
Owens, now a member of council, and
chairman of the public health committee
of that body, and DR.. J. B. Graham, who
for several years filed the position Of
quarantine officer a. Savannahs quaran-
tine station, and who is now practicing
his profession in the city. DR.. Graham's
name was mentioned for health officer at
the recent election of city officers by the
present administration, but he declined to
become candidate against DR.. Drummer
AS quarantine officer, DR.. Graham rem
dered the city most efficient service and
won the esteem of ali with whom he came
in contact DR.. Owens is so well known
in the city as not to require mention
Whether either of the physicians would he
willing TO surrender his practice for the
position is not known.
The position is a most important one,
the responsibility for the protection of the
city from contagious and infectious dis
eases, both of local and foreign origin,
resting largely upon the health officer.

SoUTHERN'S PRESIDENT HERE.
MIR. SPENCER TO MEET THE CEN
TRAILS DIRECTORS.

The Quarterly Meeting to be Held
TO-day-The Centrars Affairs to BE
Talked OVERTIME Meeting the
First Mr.. Spencer Has Attended
Since He Was Elected a Member OF
the BOard-other Directors Expect
ed This Morning.
President Samuel Spencer Of the South
ern Railway Company. a director of the
Central of Georgia Railway Company and
Director Charles Steele of New York, ar
rived in Savannah yesterday to attend the
quarterly meeting Of the Centrars direct
ors, which takes place this morning at
10 o'clock at the company's offices.
This is the first time President Spencer
has been in Savannah since he was elect
ed member of the board, and his pres
ence here to attend quarterly meeting
seems naturally to give it an air of i'm
portance. Especially is this true, as he
came all the way from New York to at
tend.
President Spencer was seen last night
by a representative Of the Morning News.
He said he had simply come down to at
tend a quarterly meeting of the directors,
that there were no changes to be made,
and that nothing but routine business
would be attended to. President
Spencer did not go into de-
tails as to the scope of
the term, routine business" 1t was we'll
known, however, that the Central is in
volved in several complications, as are
many other roads in the south, and the
probability is the directors are going to
talk these matters over and see what they
want to do. Other Central directors living
away from Savannah are expected to be
here this morning to attend the meeting.

CYCLERs FILLED THE ROADS.
Many Went Out to See Tom Cooper
Try For Record.


Yesterday was an ideal day for cyclins
and the streets and roads were alive with
wheelmen from dawn till dark The
weather was just suited to riding; the
temperature, except in the middle of the
day. was just a bit cool, but the sun
shone beautifully and served to give lust
the degree of warmth necessary to pleas
ant riding
Some of the roads, principally the
Thunderbolt road, were a little muddy ar
ter the recent rains but not enough to
phase wheelmen who wanted an airing.
A large crowd went out to the track to
see Tom Cooper try for the southern rec
ord for a mile paced by the Dayton trip
let team. Cooper did a very fast mile,
but did not do as well as was expected.
He did a half in 81 seconds and the mile
in 2:02. He ran away from the triplet
just as the last lap was reached and had
the boys been able to keep up the clip all
the way through he would probably have
made it in under two minutes. Gross,
Williams and Dub were on the triplet.
Billy Dixon was to have ridden but did
not get out in time, and Dub was put in
his place.
Michael worked some behind Thompson
and Edwards on the tandem, and made
quite an impression on those who had not
seen him before by his small stature and
little wheel.
Kinsey started in to train, but did not
work himself much He went a few laps
behind Gross, Williams and Dixon on the
triplet.
The Stearns triplet, with Connerat,
Crane and Connery on, did five miles. Tom
Cooper took the time for a mile, and it
was 2:0315.
