FREE AND EASIES SHUT UP.
POLICE PUT AN END TO THE INDIE
CENT RESORTS.


The PrOprietors Notified That the
Places would BE RAlided if Found
Open-Chief McDer motifs Foot
Down on the Dens- They We're
Springing Up Rapidly and Were
Scenes of Crime and Ind ecent Con-
duet.
The usual Saturday night scAnes of RI
bald revelry and licentious and indecent
conduct were not seen at the resorts
known as the free and easies last night.
The dance halls were in darkness, and
the piano, the banjo and the mouth or
gan were silent.
This was the result of a notice issued
yesterday by Chief McDermott to the
proprietors of these resorts that no more
music and dancing would be allowed In
their places hereafter, and they were put
on notice that on the first violation of
this order they would be pulled. The re-
lief which went out at Il O'Clock last
night was instructed to raid any one of
the well-known free and easies where
they found music or dancing in progress,
and to arrest not only the proprietors,
engaged in such amusements.
This is a step which Chief McDermott
has had under consideration for some
time. The free and easies were shut down
during the last administration for a time,
but they finally made bold to resume,
without permits from the authorities, and
have since pursued their business unmo-
Tested. The disreputable resorts have
been increasing in number, and the
crowds which resorted there have also
been increasing. There have been several
serious affrays in them of late and the
police reached the conclusion some time
ago that they were only fcenters of crime
and resorts for the criminal classes.
The affair in Marks Cohen's place, at
Mcguire and River streets Friday night,
in which Cohen and his wife were both
badly beaten. capped the climax and Chief
McDermott made up his mind to close
down on the whole lot, having first ascer-
talned that none Of these places had per-
mits from the mayor or clerk of council,
giving them the right to have music and
dancing.
The free and easies have been a great
source Of decentralization with the colored
people. Men and women gathered there
in crowds nightly and remained dancing
and drinking until midnight when the
places were required by law to be closed
The word free and easy" typlfes the
conduct which characterized these places
Ordinarily there was nothing especially
shocking in the conduct of the frequent
ers of the places, but when filled with
drink and excited by the applause of the
on-loOkers, the exhibitions which have
f1rpna hoe
the midway Dlaisance In the shade, and
put the Seeley dinner to shame. Whether
or not this is true it is certain that the
dance halls were the resorts of abandoned
characters of both classes among the col
ored peop.e, and in some instances of the
whites as well, and as such did not con-
tribute TO the peace and good order of the
city.

-FOUR NEW SEA CRITTERS.
Team VIII Consist OF Twenty-One
Instead of Eighteen.

The Sea Girt team will consist Of TWEEN
ty-one, instead OF the eighteen men or
iginaly selected. This conclusion was
reached by the committee after consider
able reflection, and four men have been
added, while one member of the team
first selected has dropped out.
Mr.. II. c. Fetzer. Jr., has decided that
he could not accompany the team, and
his name has been dropped from the list
Mr. Fetzer's recent Promotion from as
sistant to paymaster Of the Central rail-
road will increase his duties, and for this
reason he was unable to go to Sea Girt.
The team loses a strong man, and the
others regret that he will not be able to
accompany them.
The men who have had their hearts
choered by notifications OF their addition
to the team are all Guards. They are:
Lieut.. w. Trenholm Hopkins, Company
d; Seret. George Freeman, Company A;
COrpl Joseph NJ. Dreyer Company d, and
Private J. S, Schley, Company A.
The committee has been divided all
along as 10 the number that should con-
sttute the team, two Of the five members
holding that there should be twenty, while
the others stuck to it that there should
be eighteen men. -Four or five were dis,

had been pracucing carefully, but the COM
mittee regarded the fortunate eighteen as
better shots. The disappointed ones bore
their chagrln nice.y, but there is no ques-
ton about the satisfaction of those to
whom the additional places have been
awarded
The Sea Critters are getting in some good
practice four days of the week, twice in
dividually and twice as a team. The scores
made are good, and show that the team
can punch holes in the new silhouette as
well as in the regulation targets. The
team will sail Friday afternoon and win
arrive at Sea Girt Monday afternoon. There
they will get in a week Of practice before
the matches begin, and the records made
will be carefully kept, as the team proper
will be selected from only the best
shots.

in their proportion, and the attendance
always run away up into the thousands.
The parades usually have about 5000 men
in line.
The Savannah men will nearly all go by
steamer, low rate having been offered TO
the delegations from all parts of the cour-
try and a remarkably low rate having
been offered from this city to Buffalo by
the water route to New York and by rail
from New York

tails of the encampment including regu-
lar maps showing the exact locations of

be one Of the greatest yet held, Buffalo

at which TO hold a convention of such size

MERCHANTS TRIPS THE GO.
Savannah Working on the Plan of
Many Northern cities.

Many Northern Cities.
The merchants of Savannah do not look
with great favor upon the Merchants As
sociation of New York and its efforts, by
obtaining cheap railroad rates to induce
the buyers throughout the country to
come north to make their purchases They
are glad that the roads In this territory
did not grant the request of the associa-
tion to put low rates into effect from the
cities of the south.
The matter was considered by the South
eastern Passenger Association, but II was
decided that to put low rates into effect
would be unfair to many southern jobbing
houses. These rates would prove an IN
ducement to a large number OF merchants
of certain class, but IL is not believed
that the larger merchants would be great
ly affected either way. II the rates were
low many of the smaller merchants would,
without doubt avail themselves Of the op-
portunity to visit New York to make their
purchases at a reduced railroad fare. This
would not only be true of the smaller
Savannah merchants, but those also of
the contiguous territory. The result would
be that the New Workers would get the
benefit of a great deal OF trade that natu-
rally. In the event Of the rates remaining
at the usual basis, would have been given
20 the jobbing and wholesale merchants
of this section.
The matter Of a reduction in fares Is or
but little moment to many OF the larger
merchants. They go north 10 buy their
stocks without thought OF reduced rates
OF course they would not scOrn to
travel on reduced rate ticket, but II Is
not likely that they would so time their
movements as to make them contingent
upon such things as dates OF sale" "lm-
It's" Certificates" and such like restrlc-
tions that form the only objection to
travel on low rates.
As n leading merchant expressed himself
yesterday: Il would so 20 New York on the
cheap rate If Il chanced 10 coincide fully
with my convenience. but otherwise
would not / consider that my presence
IN Savannah FOR possibly two or three
days after the proposed date Of sale Of the
cheap tickets ls worth as much az times
as the saving OF $40 or so. as the case
might be- that would bo represented by
my having secured the reduction. / am
going north next week aud viii pay the
full rate whereas. n had gone this week
/ could have made the trip cheaper"
This view Is probably that OF many other
merchants.
Excursion rates could have been socur-
"a 20 Norfolk, Richmond and Washington

Central and penlusular railroad last week.
but they are now or. one fare for tho

From there the trip ON 90 New York

made the entire cost considerably below
that which is usual. Tho plan OF the New
