Rev. s. A. steeie's Lecture at the
Guards Hall Tonight.
In these times of rumOrs of war it will
be especially interesting to hear again a
description Of the conditions prevailing in
the South during the last unpleasantness.
Such an opportunity will be afforded to-
night at the Guards Hall. Rev. DR.. S. A.
Steel of Nashville. one of the most elo-
quent pulpit orators in the South, will
lecture on Home Life In Dixie During the
War" DIR. Steel was a boy during the
four years of civil strife, and as such
formed part of the home guard"
BY experience he is therefore well fitted
for the task of describing the shifts to
which Southern people were driven when
commerce was destroyed and, production
hindered, and when brave women were
struggling in a mighty contest with fam
inc and restitution, while the men faced
the invading armies in the field.
DR. Steel will be introduced by Judge
Falligant 4s

The woman who was with Lee came out

1yherea bouts are known to the police, how
ever. she and Lee had applied at the Pu-
1aski for a room before calling the hack,
our the night clerk, being suspicious, had
refused them.
DR.. George NJ Norton was summoned to
attend Washington. He found three
wounds in the breast, one in the right ana
TWO in the left breast, all penetrating the
lungs Two of the bullets had pierced the
body and come out in The back. One bull
let struck the left breast about three
inches below the nipple, coming out lower
down in the back. Another bullet struck
lower down and more to the side, also
coming out in the back. The bullet in the
right breast was some distance below the
nipple and near the side, and lodged in the
body. DR.. Norton dressed Washngtons

Washington made a statement to Coron-
er Goette in the afternoon, giving the
facts practically as stated above. He said
that when he refused TO give the half dol
Tor to Lee, after the latter had given him
the dollar, that Lee jumped out of the
hack drawing his pistol and cursing him.
He asked Lee IL he was going to shoot him
for claiming his own and Lee replied
again, cursing, saying that he would, and
commenced firing.
Washington has been in the hack bust
ness here for some time and is well known.
He was favorite with many people, who
have use for ''nighthawks," as the hacks
are popularity called. The police say, how
ever that he is high tempered, and has
had considerable trouble with customers
He is also said to be overly shrewd in his
dealings with customers, especially coun-
trymen.
Lee has been in the employ of the Savan-
nah. Florida and Western Railway as a
fireman His home is in Waycross. and
he has relatives there. One of his broth

seen at the jail by a Morning News re-
porter, Lee declined to make any state

not to talk He has engaged Thomas
Morgan, Jr., Esq, to represent him.

Two MOoring Booths Provided There

The work of placing the mooring piles
in the river at Venus Point and the blight

berths at each point named.
At each point there are nine clusters Of
from three to five piles each, placed about
$50 feet apart The clusters are bound to-
gether with wire rope, and each set Of
clusters connected with wire rome. A
reinforcing pile in the rear of each clus-
ter is also connected to the cluster in front.
The work is pronounced by river men to
be very satisfactory. Col. w. J. VIM, the
city engineer, is very much pleased with
the work, which was done under the SUI
pervision of Mr. c. M. Craig, c. e.
The mooring berths are conven!ences
which have long been needed in the river.
The berths are in deep water, but to one
side of the channel, so that vessels can
he moored without mountaineering or en-
Gangering either themselves or passing YES
sells.
The work at the quarantine station is
nearly completed. About 50 piles have
been driven there. When the work vas
begun the wharves We're about to fall

OBSTINATE PRISONERS IN COURT.
Justice Nathans Found Trouble Get
ting Two OF His Hands.


Two prisoners in Justice Nathans' court
yesterday, after being committed to jail,
showed resistance and had to be dealt with
by the officers after the police fashion.
Their names are Kate Smith and Lizzie
Phinlzy, colored, who were up for the lar
eeny of cloak.
Constable Brown made the arrests on a
warrant obtained by Jane Welsh, who
lives at Huntingdon and West Broad
streets. The women were in the justice S
office about an hour before the officers
attempted to start TO Jail, and during this
time, it is thought, they managed to get
whisky, which was tmbibed while the eyes
of the court attaches were turned. They
finally got too merry, and Justice Nathans
ordered them taken to jail.
The prisoners sat in their seats, however
and declined to obey the officer in any OF
his direc tions. miniature scrap followed
in which the officer did not succeed in
bringing the prisoners any nearer submis-
sion.
A conveyance was called, and stin they
declined 20 go. Justice Nathans observed
their conduct with a stare Of suppressed
Indignation, and when they refused even
to ride down, privilege accorded 20 but
few prisoners, his stentorian voice ratified
forth, and summoning all the ferocity he
had. grabbed the women and tossed them
bodily into the hack. The Judge then
smoothed his brow and directed the con-
stable and prisoners 10 proceed to jail.

ing and swlndling. The woman was turn
ed over to the City Court.
l.. Alexandria pawnbroker on Congress,
between Jefferson and Montgomery streets,

claims, however, that a boarder left the
furniture at her house and after leaving
the city, wrote back 10 her TO sell or pawn
the goods and get the amount of a debt
he owed her for board. This she did,
claiming to know nothing OF
any encumbrances. The furni-
ture people, from whom the
things were purchased, took them from

They and Friends VIII Go to Dnu-
fusIxie's Island on June 2.
The Poncemen's Benevolent Association
met last night and decided to have its
first picnic at Daufuskie Island, June 2.
The board of trustees, consisting of CHER
McDermott, chairman; Sergt. Floyd, Pa
trolmen McQuade Deignan, McCool and G..
b. Thorpe, was appointed a special COM
mtttee on arrangement, and will have
charge of everything in connection with
the affair,
Two boats will be chartered, and will be
run on such schedules as to afford the men
on each relief an opportunity to go. The
island is eighteen miles from the city and
it is thought the boats can make round
trip In less than two hours. Ample ar
engagements will be made for refreshments.
The refreshment tables will be in charge
Of the wives of patrolmen. 1t is assured
that none who take the trip will be de-
prived of a good dinner, as an especial ef
fort will be made to have the best things
obtainable.
There will be no iutoxicants sold either
on boats or the island. This was one of
the first resolutions made by Policeman
McQuade, and the society acquiesced in
it unanimously Chief McDermott says
he proposes to see that it is carried out TO
the letter. He states that while the society
could make a good sum If drinks were
sold. still the fund is for a charitable
purpose and il is not desired to raise 1t
in that way. Moreover, there might be
disorder by intoxicated persons which
would give the police unpleasant duty to

A Couple of Armstrong RRpid-FiFe
Rifles to BE Mounted There.
Forty-sIx rapid fire rifles and machine
guns from the Armstrong; have arrived
in New York.
The guns were all purchased from the
Armstrong; Twelve of them were manu-
featured for the Brazilian government.
which released the Armstrong; from their
contract that our government might have
them. In all forty-six were purchased, but
il has been supposed that only thrty-four
were to be shipped in the first consign-
ment. The total weight of all the guns
purchased is something oyer 100000 pounds.
The guns are unlike anything made IN
this country. For chat reason the ammu-
milton for them was bought on the other
side, since it would take altogether too
long and would cost too much money TO
change the machinery in the ordnance
plants I'm this country in order to supply
the projectles for the guns.
The rapid fire. guns are all Maxim and
Nordenfeldt rifles and are to be used icr

said, are TO be mounted in some of the
ships of the navy. The mounting of the

Huston wired back that he would not
trade Brott for the whole Norfolk team,
and Immediately tslegraphed Brott, who ds
now at Waterloo, Ia, that If he did not
report at once the case would be laid be-
fore President Nick, Young Of the Ma
tional League. Brott had not been heard
from at a late hour last night but If he
knows a good thing he will pack his grip
at once and,come on to Savannah. Huston
says Brott is a fast fielder and he will not
trade him under any circumstances. He
must play with Savannah or not at ALL
The team put In hard practice yester-
day. and Huston is enthusiastic at the way
the men are showing up. Every day puts
them in better shape, he says and the adj
