CoNTRABAND LIauoR SEIZED.
Twenty-Five Barrels of bad whisky
Taken by the Government.

TWenty-F1Ve Barrels of bad whisky
Taken by the Government.
About twenty-five barrels of contraband
liquor have been seized here by the reve-
nue. authorities within the last two or
three days, and the cheap whisky is now
in the hands of the United States gov
eminent.
All of this whisky was shipped by Moyse
Bros. Of Cincinnati to dealers in savan-
nah, most of 1t going to retail houses
With one party, however, who represents
Moyse Bros, fifteen barrels of the stuff
were found. The seizures were made on
information which came through the in
ternal revenue department in Washing
ton. to the effect that the liquor did not
come up to the gauge under which it was
sold, or in other words, it's proof had
been materially overgauged.
The dealers here, who bought the stuff
were suspicious that all was not right
and they are no doubt glad of its seizure
An examination of the whisky in these
twenty-five packages showed conolusively
that the quantity and quality of the
whisky, as indicated by the stamps, marks
and brands, did not. in a single case
agree with the actual contents of the
packages. Every barrel was from one to
nVe gallons short In quantity, and from
to 20 less proof than called for by the
stamps.
The penalty for selling such stuff is
fine of 500 to $1,000 and Imprisonment from
one month to one year for each package
so sold. 1t is considered likely that Moyse
Bros. will be proceeded against on account
OF this violation of the law, and it is said
that some others stand a chance of get
ting into trouble through their connection

CHOKED BY A BURGLAR.
Mrs. Mary Kelly Assaulted By a
House PrOwIer.

mouse EEONAHGs
In spite Of the numerous recent arrests
by the detectives and police of burglars,
thieves and other criminals, there APP
pears to be a regular epidemic OF bur-
glary in the city. Almost every night
one or more burglariss or attempted bur
glaries are reported.
Mrs. Mary Kelly. who lives at No. 5l2
Gordon street east, had an experience
with a burglar yesterday morning that
she does not care to repeat. Policeman
Larissey was on duty in that vicinity
when he heard a woman screaming at the
top Of her voice. Going in the direction
Of the sound he reached Mrs. Kelly's
house. He knocked on the door and was
admitted. Mrs. Kelly told him that she
had been choked by a burglary, who had
stolen her purse. containing SO, from I'M
der her pillow. She believed the bur
glar to be still in the house.
A search was made Of the house and
yard, but without discovering the robber
Later two coats were found In the yard,
where the burglar had dropped them in
his retreat. after jumping from a window
A search of the house showed that the
burglar had opened the rear door and sew
eral windows, with the evident purpose of
providing means Of escape should he be
discovered. He was a bold burglar, and
evidently anticipated discovery. 1t Is
supposed he entered through window on
the ground floor, which had been left
open on account of the heat. After enter
ing Mrs. Kellys room, he ransacked the
bureau drawers and wardrobe and took
out an oyercoat, dress suit and a suit
of clothes.
Mrs. Kelly kept her purse I'M
der her pillow, and the burglar
must have known something of this. He
was feeling under the pillow for the purse
when Mrs. Kelly awoke. She was about
10 scream for help when the burglar
seized her by the throat and choked her
until she was speechless. He then Sc
cured the purse and ran out Of the room.
AS soon as Mrs. Kelly recovered she be-
gan screaming, arousing the other MEM
bers Of her family, as wen as attracting
the policeman.
The clothing taken by the burglar was
found In the yard. The only description
Of the burglar that Mrs. Kelly could give
was that he was a very black negro. Of
ficer Larissey remained in the vicinity of
the house. About o'clock a negro named
Lucius Henderson came up and asked the
officer If he was looking at the footprints
in the sand. Larissey had not thought Of
the foot prints before. and he at once be-
came suspicious of the negro. He made
Henderson pull off his shoes and III his
feet In the tracks, with the result Of find
ing that feet and tracks were a close
match. Henderson was sent to the bar
racks as suspicious character. He claims
that he can prove he was at home a the

TROUBLE ON A TROLLEY CAR.
Conductors and Passengers Mixed Up
in Row.

In Row.
The crowd that took the habersham
street cars back from the base ball park
yesterday afternoon was entertained by a
lively scrap between a well known young
ductor.
There were lot of small boys, both
black and white, chasing along after the
cars and jumping on and off. The con-
ductors were trying to keep the boys
away. A conductor made a dash at one
boy, who jumped from the car, pursuing
and striking at him with the heavy iron
controller which he had in his hand.
Two young men, VINO were on the car,
thought this was uncalled for conduct on
the part of the conductor and attacked
him about it. Both parties used strong
language and in a moment or two the
conductor and one of the young men
came to blows. Several blows were pass
ed, and both men were hit.
A crowd jumped off the cars and gath
cred around the combatants. II looked as
If there would be. a general melee for a
time, but Policeman Halford, who was
returning from the ball game in citizen s
dress, interposed and arrested the young
men, against the protest of his friends.
When the car arrived at the police bar
racks the officer disembarked with his
prisoner. and the latter's friends. Bond
was given at once.
When the car returned on it's trip back
to the office, the conductor was also ar
rested and gave bond.
President Johnston of the Savannah
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope railway was
very indignant on account of the affair."
and called at the police barracks last night
to prefer charges against the conductors

N. Y. HEALTH OFFICER HERE.
Trip 10 Quarantine VIII Probably
&c Made To-day.

DIR. A. H., Doty, health officer of the
port OF New York was among the pas
sengers on the steamship Tallahassee
which arrived last night. DR.. Doty has
promised to spend day or two in savan-
nah with Health Officer LeHardy and to
confer with him on the subjects of quar-
antine and sanitation, and especially the
question Of the proper equipment for a
maritime quarantine plant.
DIR. Doty is himself loking for additional
sanitary apparatus just now for which
purpose he will visit Charleston TO confer
with Walk & Murdoch of that city. who
have attained considerable reputation as
manufacturers of sanitary apparatus. This
being the case the occasion is opportune
for DR.. LeHardy to obtain just the in
formation he desires.
A trip will probably be taken to quaran-
tine to-day. An official invitation to Dr.
Doty to visit Savannah was extended by
the sanitary board some time ago.

THE CARE OF THE PARK.
The Need For Constant Attention to
Bring Out Its beauty.


The heavy showers of yesterday and the
day before did damage in the park. which.
unless 1t is repaired at once, will result
in the loss of many of the plants, which
the park and tree commission placed there.
The rains washed the flower beds badly.
leaving the roots of the plants bare and
exposed to the sun. Hundreds of small
plants are in this condition. A day of hot
weather with the sun pouring down will
Wither and Kill them.
The admirable work of the park and tree
commission in improving and beautifying
the park, will, if it is not kept up be al
most entirely lost. The flower beds and
the grass plats are just beginning to show
what they will be when the flowers and
plants and the grass are grown. If prop
erly cared for, under its present plan of
improvement, Forsyth park would, in a
short time, be one of the most beautiful
parks in the country. Savannahians GER
tainly do not want it to become what it
was before the park and tree commission
took ho.d of it, simply because the COM
mission has expended its appropriation and
the council Is unwilling to make a further
appropriation for its care.

The late Governor Albert q. Porter
Of Indiana was good campaigner In
one Of his stamping tours he was to
speak in Morgan county. A number of
fine carriages were at the station as the
train drew up TO carry Mr.. Porter and
the persons who were with him to the
place Of speaking. Of at one side was
an old fashioned "carryall, with rag
ged oilcloth curtains, wheels incrustcd
with mud, presenting a sadly dilapi-
dated appearance. Mr.. Porter looked
beyond the carriages to this conveyance,
and his clear blue eye lighted with
pleasure as he recognized the driver,
who was a well known mossbacked
Democrat ''Why, George" said Mr..
Porter, extending his hand, "I'm glad
you're here. Gentlemen, turning to
the persons at the carriages, who were
awaiting him, never mind me. I'm
