CITY BREVITIES.

The recorder tried Otis Wilson yester-
day, charged with stealing articles from
the residence of L. Y. Gibbs, No. 10 Pres
ident street. He was bound over to the
city court
A trio of colored women from Farm
street were arrested by Policeman Jerni-
gan yesterday, for engaging in a general
sweep. The number consisted of Bessie
Hayes, Queen Martin and Bertha Carter
none of whom were strangers at the bar
racks.
Robert Fields colored has been ar
rested and lodged in custody of the po-
lice on the charge of having stolen a
ring from George Maril, No. 101 Brough-
ton street, west. He was arrested at the
instance of William Lambert, who had
himself been in custody on the same
charge. At a hearing before the recorder,
the latter, who was arrested on suspicion
because the property had been found in
his possession, stated that he had OBJ
tanned it of Fields. The latter will have
hearing to-day.
Considerable excitement was created in
the neighborhood of the E. & w. laundry
on Anderson street. near Laurel Grove
cemetery, about noon yesterday by a
rumbling, Earring noise, which shook the
laundry and adjacent buildings. 1t was
supposed at first that the boiler at the
lauHdiy Hau Exploded ooiHe Oh the girls
employed in the laundry got out of the
windows and a woman living next door
to the laundry ran out of her house and
tainted on neighbours stoop. An inquiry
at the laundry office on Bull street evolv-
ed the reply that a belt had slipped its
pulley and caused the jar. People living
in the neighborhood, however, asserted
that the shake-up was due to the en-
gineer at the laundry pouring cold water
into a hot boiler, with the usual results
of momentary excess of steam.

the success of the camp. One new mem
Der was received-Mr. Jenkin NJ. Holmes

The communication from the ladies of
the Confederate Memorial Literary Soci-
ETY. of Richmond was received as informa-
ton This was the request of the ladies
that the camp send to Richmond the
names of the most distinguished of the
members. While no definite action in the
matter was taken, it seems likely that the
camp will comply with the request
A new badge was adopted. The old
badge was considered not to serve the pur-
pose for which it was intended. The white
letters on the blue field were not sufici-
entity clear to the sight, and were not ex-
plicit. The new badge, which will be
blue with gold fringe. will be worn on

No Hearing of the Case Against VIM.
Jones Held Yet.
There was no hearing at the police court
yesterday in the case of William Jones,
charged with an assault with intent to
murder Will Orr.
1t was first thought that Orr, who was
shot in the ankle of the right foot by
Jones on the Louisville road Monday,
would have to suffer the amputation of
the foot in consequence of his injuries, but
Or. R. G. Norton, the attending physi-
clan, now thinks this will not be neces-
sary. The ball has been removed, and,
while the ankle is badly lacerated, it is
thought the man will recover, if compli-
cations, such as blood poisoning. do not
set in
1t is reported that Jones had been using
a pistol rather freely, and had fired at
other boys before he wounded Orr The
latter is with his relatives at No. 326
Perry street lane. His parents, who are
progressive colored people living in South
Carolina, are expected to come to Savan-
nah to look after him.

JEWISH LADIES REORGANIzE.
Savannah Section Redivided Into
Studies.

SUuuleS.
A meeting of the ladies of the Council
of Jew ish Women, was held yesterday aft
ernoon at the residence on Gwinnett
street, of Mrs. I. P. Mendes, president of
the Savannah section. The meeting was
for the purpose of effecting reorganiza-
ton of the section upon the basis adopted
at the convention of the national council.
which met last winter at New York.
There was large attendance of the
ladies present, and the work of reorganza-
ton proceeded smoothly. BY the new con-
stitution of the council the method of
forming the circles of the section and their
naming Is changed. They will now be call
ed the morning, afternoon and
evening studies, and they will
have charge. under the lead
ership of certain of the ladies, of different
branches of Jewish church work Reli-
gion and philanthropy are the principal
subjects that will come before the studies.
The study which will have the direction
of the philanthropic work of the section,
will be under the leadership of Mrs. Ce-
ella Abrams and Mrs. Emile Newman for
the present, while a third leader will be
appointed later Mrs. I. P. Mendes and
Mrs. s. l.. Lazaron will be at the head
of the studies that will have their work in
religion.
II was uSciueu W carry Oh the MISSION
school for the poorer Jewish children dur

cessful in its work last year chat the ladies
regarded 1t as highly essential that it be

LOOKING FOR A PATROL BOAT.
Chief McDermOtt Receiving Esti-
mates of Cost.

mates OF cost.
Chief McDermott is much interested in
securing a boat TO patrol the river front
and is now on the lookout for a small
yacht which would be suitable for that
purpose.
The chief does not think the best service
can be rendered along the river without
the use of the boat, and he believes the
earlier it is obtained, the better On a
naphtha launch it would not be conven-
lent to have a very large search light, and
in lieu of this, the chief thinks a strong
dark lantern would suffice The idea is
not to expose the light as is thought by
many to be the case, but to proceed along
the wharves quietly, and only play the
light upon such localities as are suspicious
In the case of an unusual noise, the light
would be thrown out to ascertain the trou-
bic.
The Baltimore patrol boats. which are
known to be efficient in such service, car
ry five men each and are of incalculable
value in protecting property along the
wharves. However, the idea of Chief Nc
Dermott is to only place two men on the
boat which it is proposed to use here
Among the business men who have inter
ests along the river front, the idea of
having such a boat seems to meet with
general favor.

MUNICIPAL LIGHTING PLANTS.
Aid. Hamilton says They Have Gem
orally Proven Unsuccessful.

The proposition OF Mayor Meldrim TO
the city council that the city operate its
own electric lighting plant making use of
the water works building and power for
the purpose, was discussed with general
interest yesterday.
Many people are Of the opinion that if
plant could be installed and operated
for anything like TIE figures which were
mentioned in the statement of council
that IT would be a BOD thing for the city
to install its own lighting plant at the
water works and furnish its own lights.
On the other hand, there were doubts as
to whether the scheme could be success
fully worked
Alderman S. p. Hamilton. who is presi-
dent of the Brush zctric Light and Pow
er Company. was seen in reference to the
matter. Mr.. Hamltons position is a del
icate one. being president of the company
which now has the contract for the city
lighting. as well as a member of council.
IF plan can be installed and operated
for anything like the figures quoted by
the mayor" said Alderman Hamilton, Il
shall consider it my duty to support legls-
lation to this effect. / do not care to dis
cuss the subject at any length. for the
simple reason that my interests would be
supposed to govern ME in the matter. At
the same time, l regard the plan with
grave doubt. The experiment of a munich
pal lighting plant has been tried by a
number of cities. and in a majority of
these cities it has proved a failure. 1
have no doubt that / could bring instances
to bear of fully twenty-five cities where
the municipal lighting experiment has
been tried and failed. Take, for instance
the city of Wheeling w Va The official
reports of the city show that 1t was con-
templated to establish a plant cost

TACKLED THE WRONG CUSTOMER.
Thief offered a Constable Stolen
Property and Was Arrested.

Thief offered Constable Stolen
Property and Was Arrested.
An amusing case of mistaken identity
was made on the street yesterday by VIM.
Avery alias James Mundford, who stole
dozen pairs of ladies' fine kid gloves
from the store of Walsh & Meyer, after
which he approached Constable Lilienthal
and offered to sell the officer the lot for 50
cents.
Instead, however, of purchasing the
gloves, the officer placed the man under
arrest,and took him to the office of Justice
Michael Naughtin, where he confessed that
he had stolen the gloves from Walsh &
Meyers store. n.c
Constable Lilienthal called at the store,
and gave an account of the arrest of Avery
and the goods which were found in his
possession. Nothing had been missed by
the clerks, and the theft was not known
until an examination was made.
1t was learned that such a man as
Avery, alias Mundford had entered the
store and seated himself near the glove
counter. When asked by one of the clerks
what he wanted, he replied that he was
simply waiting on party. The clerk
thereupon left, and when the opportunity
rolled around. Avery plunged his hand
INTO basket OF KID gloves and drew forth
a dozen pairs which he secreted under the
folds of his coat. He then left the store
he said, and started out to find a pur-
chaser. The first man to whom the bar
gain was offered, happened to be Constable
Lilienthal, who was at the time. convers-
ing on the street.
Justice Naughtin questioned Avery and
learned that ne had come to Savannah
from Fernandina. As he had confessed to
his guilt no trial was had, and he was
bound over TO the city court and commit
ted to jail.

NO LACK OF DEEP WATER.
A Misunderstanding in Foreign
Ports COrrected.

The advantages Savannah enjoys over
many Of the southern cities in having a

clipping taken from the Oct issue
OF this paper has been published in the
Commercial Journal of Liverpool. TIE
article reprinted by the English paper
was that which gave an account Of the
Italian steamship Luigi leaving this port
drawing twenty-four feet of water.
IL has been known here. for some time
that doubts have been entertained at
some of the foreign ports of the ability of
the Savannah harbor to accommodate YES
sells OF deep draught. This doubt has pre-
vented a great deal of business coming
to this port, and it has long been the de
sire of those connected with the port of
Savannah and doing business abroad TO
have the erroneous idea corrected. These
gentlemen have no idea that the harbor is
nct well able to accommodate ships that
draw deep water, and they want the for
eign ship agents to be made aware OF 1t.
Understa nding that the agents of Liver
pool are familiar with the tonnage, draft
and other points of all the vessels that
ply between American and European ports
Gen. G. NJ. Sorrel. general manager of
the Georgia Export and Import Com
pany. sent a clipping of the article re-
ferred to to his correspondent at Liver
pool. That gentleman was at once inn
pressed with the fact of the heavily laden
Luigi having passed safely out of Savan-
nah's harbor with water to spare under
her keel. He talked it around among the
other ship agents who know the Luigi.
The matter found its way to the CONNER
cial Journal. and it is likely that it will
serve to correct some of the Impressions
that exist regarding the depth of water
TO be found in SaVannah's harbor.
