tho NncOOchee.

Rev. James Y Fair D. D., pastor of the
Independent Presbyterian church, arrived
yesterday morning on the Nacoochee from
Saratoga. where he has been spending
several weeks of his vacation. DR.. Fair
reports having had a very pleasant time
on his trip. He spent a portion Of his
vacation at New York and Lake George.
His return to Savannah was somewhat
earlier than he had expected. He had
anticipated sailing on the Kansas City,
but finding that the berth room Of that
vessel had about all been engaged, he de-
cided to come on the Nacoochee. lie
preached at the prominent churches in
Saratoga while there.
The trip down was very pleasant. A
feature of 1t was the service that was
held Sunday morning in the saloon. Dr.
Fair had been requested by a number Of
the passengers and crew Of the vessel to
hold the service. Members of the crew
had told him that they never had an OPP
portunity to attend divine service. At the
time appointed the saloon was filed with
the passengers, and all of the crew that
could be spared from their duties on
board. Even a party Of gentlemen that
had been having a quiet little game in
the smoking room were in attendance.
4ney nad Deen lnNltcQ 10 participate IN
the service by one of TIE devout ladies,
who was Interesting herself in the matter.
DR.. Fair read 4 part of the Psalm 107,
beginning with They that go down to the
sea in ships, that do business in great wa
ters." This was followed by some very
fine singing, there being a lady, Mrs. H.
II. Seneger Of Alabama, aboard who was
returning from the north after having
spent some tine with tie best teachers for
the additional cultivation of a splendid
voice. She sang several hymns to the
great delight of her audience.
DR.. Fair spoke on the subject: What is
Thy Life?' He spoke of the God given ex-
istence of all the earth and the care that
should be taken for the preservation of
those lives that come from SO high a
source and the love and gratitude that
should inspire all to devote those lives to
the attainment Of some great and good
purpose. He touched particularly upon
the lives of sailors, and advised those in
his audience to look ever 10 the Great
Pilot for guidance through the sea of life.
A song service was also he at night and

Fourteen Competitors Before Exam

iner IVanamnl6er Yesterday.
The regular seni-annual civil service ex-
animation for positions In the railway mail
and departmental services of the govern
ment was he'd yesterday at the custom
house by Civil Service Examiner Fred
Wanamaker.
The examinations were taken by four
teen competitors all male, twelve being
colored and two white. OF the competitors
seven took the examination for the rail-
way mail service, one for steno3rapher
and typewriter one for Waterman, two for
janitors, two for messengers and one Tor
departmental clerk. One applicant, who
desired to take the railway mail service
examination, was turned down because or
the fact that he was only feet S1a inches
high, where as no appointments are made
to this service of men less than feet
inches in hight
The examination papers were forwarded
to Washington last night, where they Will
be passed upon by the board of examiners.
Owing to the fact that the civil service
commission is now overcrowded with work
il will probably be some time before the
competitors in yesterdays examination
learn what their standing is with the COM
mission.
Mr.. Wanama1er has recently completed
an examining tour through the west,
where he reports that he examined as
many as 300 competitors at one examina-
ton. The number of competitors at the
examinations is much less in the south, he
states. than In any other section.
MIR. Wanamaker is an old Orangeburg
s. c. boy, and was weil-known in the
newspaper business in this section. tie
was with the Morning News for time
shortly previous to securing his appoint-
ment under the civil service commission.
The appointment was secured without
other effort on his part than TO stand the
REQUIRED examination, and the character
Of the examination was such as TO at
once give him high standing among the
appointees of the commission.

FORGED MIR. HANLEY's NAME.
Young Negro Arrested For Making
Away with S73.

Away WIN Tto'
After long chase, Detective Barrett
succeeded in arresting Charles Glenn yes
terday morning, charged with forgery and
the larceny of SO.
p. b. Glenn, father of Charles, is an old
negro who does odd jobs of withdrawing
about the city, and in most cases, he is
assisted by his son.
Material had been purchased of Andrew
Hanley, at Whitaker and President streets.
An account amounting to SO had
been run up for material by the old man,
and when payment was demanded, he
gave the amount to his son Charles, to
pay Mr.. Hauley.
Instead, however, of fulfilling the trust,
young Glenn forged Mr. Hanley's name
10 a receipt for $50, and gave it to his IA
Their, as evidence that the amount had
been paid. Nothing developed in the mat
ter until Mr.. Hanley preached the old
man for payment Of the account, where
upon Glenn stated that he had sent him
the money and held the receipts which
were shown
MIR. Hanley went to the police barracks
to report the matter, and on his way, saw
Charles Glenn sauntering through the
Colonial park. Detective Barrett was hast
lily apprised of the matter and at once
gave chase 10 capture Charles. The latter
ran speedily, but was soon overtaken by
Detective Barrett, arrested and lodged in
the barracks to await a hearing this
morning. When searched, S33 of the stol-
en- money was taken from Charles, but he
could give no account of the balance.

NEW STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM.
The Legislature to De Applied to For
Charter For One.

Charter For One.
Savannah may have competition in the
street railway line after all. A notice APP
pearcd in to-days Morning News to the
effect that application will be made at the
next session of the legislature for a char
ter to build a BELT Line Railroad in
Chatham county" and also for authority
to the mayer and aldermen OF Savannah
to grant the use Of the streets for use by
such Belt Line under such limitations and
restrictions as that body may see fit to
impose.
Capt. d. G. Purse is understood to be
back of the movement to secure a new
street railway system. Capt Purse is
president of the Savannah and Isle of
Hope railroad, which has been out In the
woods, beth literally and metaphorically
since the expiration of it's lease by the
Electric Railway Company, now consoll-
dated with the Savannah, Thunderbolt
and Isle Of Hope railway. The line has
been idle for nearly a year now and since
the consolidation OF all the city lines into
one system it is evident that the Savannah
and Isle OF Hope will either have to build
into the city itself or become a part of
some new system. 1t is probably the lat
ter, which Capt. Purse desires to bring
about. He has not revealed his plans to
the public as yet, however.
