THREW POTASH AT HIM.
Lizzie Graham's Ugly Attack on
Charles Miller.

Lizzie Graham's Ugly Attack on
Charles Miller.
Lizzie Graham went on the warpath for
Charles Miller yesterday, and as result
Lizzie has got herself in serious trouble.
A few days ago she had Miller arrested on
the charge of attempted criminal assault.
The evidence before the recorder did not
sustain the charge, and Miller was re-
leased. This did not satisfy Lizzie, and
she determined to execute vengeance upon
Miller herself.
Miller is a driver for DR.. George H.
Stone. Yesterday morning after breakfast
he started to take the buggy around to the
stable. In the lane he saw a woman peep
ing through the cracks of the stable AS
he neared the woman he saw it was Liz
zie Graham. She had a tin can in her
hand She did not see Miller until he
was close on her, and then she turned and
threw the contents of the can at him. 1t
was liquid potash, and If the contents had
struck Miller's eyes his sight would have
been gone forever. AS il was, his face
and hands were badly burned. Some Of
the potash spattered on the buggy and
took off the paint where it struck.
Miller ran to the police barracks and
got an officer who arrested the woman.
Millers wounds, which are painful, but
not serious, were dressed by DR.. Stone.

congregation and the pastor, and il nplored
the older members of the church TO take
him as their son, and the younge mem
bers to take him as their broth er, and
work with him together In harmony. The
charge was fun of interesting out lines Of
the duties of the congregation Cd any
church to the pastor.
when this was concluded the trustees
and officers Of the church, repr esenting
every member. approached DR.. Fair and
shook hands with him cordially, in token
of the good cheer with which they greeted
him formally as their chosen PASTOR
There was a pretty idea in the entire
ceremonies, and the enthusiastic manner
in which the pastor and the congregation
seemed to enter into the spirit Of the oc-
casion was beautiful.
DR.. Fair assembled the pulpit, and was
greeted by the three divines with cordial
handshaking and words of congra tulation.
He then turned to the congrega ton and
dismissed it by invoking the blessings of
God.

ting Dangerous.
Two negroes were arrested yesterday by
the detectives on suspicion of being con-
nected with the highway robberies on the
roads leading west from the city last
week There is not sufficient proof
against them as yet, but the detectives
believe that one of them at least is
member of the gang.
The robberies are becoming altogether
too frequent for the comfort of the people
who travel these roads. There was one
robbery a night for the last three nights
of last week.
J. F. Matthews was robbed on the Louis
Vile road Thursday night, T. j. Winters
on the same road Friday night and ]. S.
Christie on the Augusta road Saturday
night. Mr.. Winters reported his robbery
to the police barracks and gave good
description of the men who robbed him.
The matter was kept quiet for the time as
the detectives thought they knew where
they could lay their hands upon some of
the men.
The Winters robbery was at the Four
Mile hill. The robbers secured $685. in
money and new pair of No. e last tan
men who held him up were all black. 1t
was evidently the same gang that held
up Matthews on the same road the night
before. There are either two gangs, one
operating on the Augusta and the other
on the Louisville road or what is more
likely there is only one gang of six or
more men, which conducts its operations
on both roads. The three men who were
robbed will be called upon to-day to iden-
tify the negroes who have been arrested
on suspicion.
The gang which is now operating west
of the city is very probably the same gang
which has committed occasional robberies
in that section for more than year. The
murder of Capt. G.. H. Berry of Eftingham
county on the Louisville road last fall Is
well remembered and 1t is possible that
the highway robbers were guilty of the
murder. For a long time after the muir
der there were no hold-ups, which was
probably due to tn gang being scared
off by the thorough search which was
made of the neighborhood.

DIAMOND IN 4 FIsH's NAV.
Strange Find of n Fisherman on the
Tug Regis.

heklHs
Somebody lost diamond setting in the
ocean at the black fish banks, and it was
recovered yesterday by Mate Frank Fin
ster of the tug Regis.
A large crowd was fishing from the
Regis, and fish were biting fast. Nearly
all of the bait was exhausted and some of
the fishermen were cutting up small fish
for bait. Mr.. Finster cut the head off a
little black fish and the bright spark rolled
out on the deck. Several gentlemen who
were waiting for piece of bait saw the
flash of the diamond as 1t came from the
throat of the fish and every one was
struck with wonder at the occurrence On
further examination, and a closer search
for more diamonds, the little jewelled fish
yielded up a small conk and a good-sized
boiled schrimp. The shrimp had evidently
been taken from a fisherman's line, as sew
eral of the party had been using shrimp
for bait.
The diamond found in the fish is about
a three-fourths carat. Il was probably
lost overheard from a ring while it's own
or was fishing, and was caught and swal-
lowed by the fish as IL reached the bot

Million Dollars With

1--WE are going home tomorrow" sang
thousands of voices last evening at the
big depot on the other side as they sat
around waiting for their trains to be made
up. They were going home very rapidly.
The exodus began before the consecra ton
meeting Monday night, and within
twenty-four hours 10000 Of the visitors
who have helped 10 swell the population
were on their way home. 1t was tired
looking crowd, too, and there were no
songs OF Joy and glad shouts of greeting
as they fretted and fumed at the delay in
making up the trains.
The songs that have been heard from
the ferry to the Cliff House were not sung.
but all sang the one hymn, 1--WE are GO
ing home, no more to roam" and they
looked as if they meant it. But it was
not because they were not we'll pleased
with the convention and their trip-it
was simply the result of phys exhau s.
ton. The whole crowd was dead tired
and did not cara who knew it.
The first big party TO leave the City was
the Boston delegation, which departed for
the Yellowstone Park. Nine heavily
loaded trains went out Monday evening,
carrying 5000 tourists and eleven trains
left yesterday with the same mum Der.
These included the Boston party, the Con-
necticut train, New Jersey and New Y ork.
Nearly all went by the way of Portland
and the Yellowstone. On the twenty
tr Iins here were 208 coaches, all filled to
the limit.
In private car that went out yesterday
afternoon by the Portland route was Sec
retary Baer, with Mr.. Shaw and party of
trustees. They will go home by the way
of the Canadian Pacific and will stay over
Sunday at Banff and will reach Boston
one week from tomorrow.
President and Mrs. Clark left last even
ing for Los Angeles where they will re-
main until after Sunday, when they will
proceed directly home. 1t is estimated
that at least l5,0 900 people wlll leave to-day,
and bv tomorrow night only few stray
glers OF the immense throngs will be left
in the City.
A large number of the delegates are vis-
iting the resorts along the coast and
many of them will attend the Christian
Endeavor exercises at the Chautauqua As
sembiy at Pacific Grove next Friday. On
this occasion addresses will be made by
Rev. Ira Landrith of Tennessee, Rev,
Ezra Tinker, DID,, OF Wilmington, Del,

Those who are fond of financial statis-
tics have been computing the probable
amount of money left in San Francisco
by the people brought here by the con-
vention, and the lowest estimate places
the grand aggregate spent by the &c. 600
visitors at $1,000, COO. This gives but an
average expenditure of but $25 to each
visitor, which is considered most con-
servative estimate.

WONDERS OF THE BERMUDAS.
N W York Universiy to Este tbHSh a Per-
manent ofcgicai Stahon-Report
OF Professor BriSfo.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 13-New
York University is to have a permanent
biological station in the Bermudas next
year. This has been determined on as a
result of the first .alumnal expedition to
those islands, which, under the direction
of Professor Charles l.. Bristol, head of
the department of biology. spent six
weeks investigating the marine life of the
islands, and has just returned laden with
valuable collections.
The collections brought home contain
much new material. mainly specimens Of
lnvertebral life. So far as Dr.. Bristol or
his scientists have learned, many of the
species have never been called 10 the at.
tention OF scientists. Among these are
new varieties OF mollusks. Three of them
are stone boring bivalves, whicl bore
holes foot deep into the coral limestone,
of which the Bermudas are principally
formed.
'The richness of the fauna said Pro-
fessor Bristol would DE sufficiently in
dicated TO the scientist by my saying that
we found twenty orms OF tunicates. Six
OF us worked over 200 yards of the coast OF
Castle harbor at every low tide and so
immense were the forms of life that we
got no further. We brought back splen-
did corals. sea anemones, ieliy-tish,
sponges, crustaceans, worms and echino-
derms most of them rare in the m use ums s
of this country"
Professor Bristol said that perhaps the
most i'm portant immediate result of the
expedition was to demonstrate that fish
can be transported north OF the Gulf
stream and acclimated so as to live in
northern waters.

GRAND CONCERT
Is REPEATED
A Big Crowd Flocks to Hear
Endeavorers Sing.
Wei Conducted Performance That
Arouses Interest and
Applause.

The repetition of the grand festival con.
cert drew great crowd to the Mechanics
Pavilion last night. Perfect order reigned,
however, and by few minutes past S
O'Clock the great audience was in its place.
The galleries were full, but not over
crowded. AS for The main body of the
hall it was densely peopled, with the ex-
ception of few seats marked special -
which were reserved for ticket holders, a
few of whom did not come. No standing
in the aIsles was allowed.
Al eight minutes past 8 o'clock the or
chestra took its place, and began to play
the "97 Convention March, com posed by
w. ]. Mccoy, who conducted While
this number was in progress the great
chorus Of 1900 voices took its place with
the precision OF an army moving into
line. The white dresses which are so fre-
quently feature OF big cboruses had not
been observed rigidly, out the majority of
the lady mem bers were robed in white,
and many of them wore big punches of
yellow poppies, which added considerably
to The picturesque appearance OF the plat
form.
A pleasant feeling of good fellowship
was engendered between the chorus anu
the audience before the former began to
sing. At given signal the body OF singers
rose as one individual. This so delighted
the spectators that they appIauded loudly,
and the chorus responded with the Cham
tauoua salute. Then the conductor sig
nailed TO the audience to rise and Join in

ica." There was not so much unanimity
about the way in which the audience rose
to its feet, but the chorus applauded the
effect loudly, and then the audience
showed its appreciation oil this compli-
ment by giving the Cnautauqua salute.
This little session OF mutual admiration
put every one into a cheerful humor Tor
joining il the singing of the welcome
song" which was given to Sir Arth ur
Sullivan's music to "Onwsrd, Christian
Soldiers"
The regular programme began with
Franz Won Suppe's FESTIVAL Overture,
which was played by the orchestra, con-
Quoted by W. J. Mccoy. The musicians
were made for the m ost part of amateurs,
and in such organizations strings seem 70
take fiendish delight in getting tritie
slack and wind instruments in getting
shade off the pitch, just when the players
want TO do their best There were lew
of these mishaps last night, but taken al
together the orchestra did its share OF the
work vaIianty. In addition to nlaying
the FESTIVAL Overture" and accompany
ing the singers in most of their selections
The orchestra also played selections from
.fhe Huguenots" and the march from
''Tannhauser." In the latter number the
bouquet" OF soloists sang the chorus.
G. II. Tebbs, the composer OF the fine
anthem com posed for the convention, was
unaple to- De present, ana w. j. Mccoy
conducted in his place. In this, as in The
other works. the singers produced fine
body OF sound. The sopranos were little
in evidence but their voices were sweet
and mellow, and the other parts were
always clear and audible. special
feature of the singing was the distinctness
of he enunciation.
A. NJ Benham conducted the chorus
ably in the following mum bers: Praise
ye the Father" by Gounod; How Lovely
are the Messengers" from the ''St. PAUL."
American Hymn. by Keller: Send Out
Thy Light" by Gounod; the "Hallelujah
Chorus" and 1.-The Lord is my Shepard"
The latter number was unaccom panied,
and the chorus did some good shading
in it.
There was good deal of applause for
every thing. Two of the most decided en-
cores were given to James Hamilton
Howe, vino conducted "The Glory OF the
Lord" from the "Messia ;" and to d. w.
Loring and his "bouquet" of soloists, en-
bracng some of the best-kuown singers in
the City. The bouquet sang Rhein berg
