Religious Services Followed by
FenstinE and MerFiment.
The Feast ofPurlm was, celebrated yes
terday by the Hebrews of Savannah. The
orthodox of the faith will observe to-day
also as a feast day. Many of the Jewish
faith have dropped one of the days that
formerly Were observed as the feast of
Purim.5 This feast commentaries the es-
cape of the Israelites from Egypt and
their passage of the Red Sea.
The feast commenced when the sun set
nigilt before last, 1t concluded with the
setting Of yesterdays sun, and ball was
given at the Guards hall. The Harmonic
Club annually gives Purim balls. The chill
dren are made happy with dancing and
feasting during the afternoon. There was
a large attendance at the hall yesterday
afternoon, many children being seen upon
the floor in graceful dances. A large num-
Der of ladies were present, parents of the
little tots. and others who were attracted
by the reputation the dances have won in
the past. Theschildren were dressed with
especial care, and the beauty of the scene
was spoken of by many.
AT night the ball was given for the girls
After they had danced until about II
o'clock, the young ladies present were in
vited to dance. The hall was filled with
the dancers and visitors.

WATCHING THE bitches GROW.
The Sewer Work Progressing More
Rapidly Than mt Any Time Yet.

The Sewer Work Progressing More
Rapidly Than Mt Amy Time Yet.
Work on the big sewer on East Broad
street is getting along more rapidly than
it has at any time since it began. The
ditch has been run far enough from the
point at which it turned from Liberty
into East Broad for the Carson machine
used for carrying the big buckets of dirt
to get in it's best work
There are five of these buckets in opera
ton now. The operators have become ex-
pert in handling them, and they are filed
and dumped rapidly. The advantage in
the fact that the ditch has been dug fur
Their out on East Broad street is found in
the ability of the buckets to dump the
dirt taken from the place where the men
are digging, further north where the
sewer layers have followed in the wake
of those with shovels and picks. The ma
chine can thus cover up one part of the
ditch while the men are digging in an

In a day or two a pile driver will be

long planks that brace the banks of the

this driver is in operation the work viii
be additionally facilitated, and will pro-
gress much faster
One of the difficulties the contractors
find is in getting rid of the dirt. 1t is now
hauled away TO vacant lots. many teams
being constantly at work. The dirt ac-
cumulates, nevertheless. and great piles
of IL are about the bitches
The men at work seem to be full of in
terest to the public. Nearly every one
who passes, whether the idle loiterer or
the business man, stops to take look at
the work. They watch the buckets as
the cable runs them from place 10 place
and the expert manipulator deity dumps
the dirt. Then they go up to take a peep
into the deep trench and stand at it's edge
until the extra policeman on duty steps
up and requests them to get away from
such close proximity. The. policeman has

HELD UP, BEATEN AND ROBBED.
Foot Pads Used George Brown
Roughly ON the Ogeechee Road.

George Brown, who lives a short dis
lance from the city on the Ogeechee road.
was waylaid and robbed of sS2 by two I'M
known negroes yesterday. Brown was on
his way home and as a result of the fierce
struggle had with the men, was badly
bruised He was taken to the Savannah
hospital in the police ambulance.
When the matter was reported at police
headquarters, Chief McDermott put Po-
lieeman Clarity on the case. The officer
soon arrested Lemon Doyal, negro As
years old, as suspicious character. 1t Is
believed by the police that the negro was
connected with the hold-up, though he
denies being near the place. He will be
placed in the sweat box by the detectives
to-day, however, and an effort made TO
get at any connection he may have had
with the crime.

his acquaintahces, however that he has
done anything rash.
