BOTH ALARMS CAUSED ACCIDENTS.
Fireman Garry Injured While Get
ting Out Assistant Chiefs Buggy.

1t is now believed there was an object on
the part of the person who turned in the
two false alarms of fire Saturday night
end called the department out for nothing,
first to Wheaton street, and then to Dray-
ton and Taylor streets. The guilty party
will certainly be in an unenviable position
if caught by the police.
If It were intended to injure the fire ap-
paratus the object was certainly accom-
plished. Besides the wreckiug of the hose
wagon from engine house No. l on East
Broad street. as the department was re-
spending to the Wheaton street alarm,
Fireman Garry had his ankle sprained at
the central station just as the start was
being made TO The second alarm al Dray-
ton and Taylor streets. Garry slipped while
hitching up Assistant Chief Mouro's bug
gy, and fell to the floor, severely spralning
his ankle, which will take him from the
service several days.
The new arrangement for keys is gener-
ally considered to be a wise one When
a fire is discovered the one who sends in
the alarm does not have to run about
looking for a policeman or a house where
the key is kept but simply goes to the
box, knocks out the glass with a pocket
knife or other object, and as the key is
already in place, the only thing remaining
IS 10 open the door ana pull the alarm
lever Especially at night is this an ad-
vantage, where the occupants Of residences
have 10 be awakened and then hunt for
the key
The fire commissioners have noticed late
ly that fires have gotten under Roadway
before the alarm was sounded. There IL
a certain point al which they can be ex-
tinguished If the firemen are on hand, and
when this point is passed. the building is
gone and there is no chance to save H.
Knowing this. the commission intends to
use every possible effort 70 get alarms in
earlier and thereby reach fires in time 10
do more good. The glass box method s
thought TO be a help in this direction. and
while II has not been used in Savannah
before the belief is 1t will prove success
full In the event other false. alarms are
sent in, 1t is stated a means will be de.

Speaking of atheists, Rev. Luther re-
ferred to a meeting of Beecher and Ingor-
soil. Several were near when the two dis
tinguished men approached each other and
naturally expected an impromptu debate
on religion. Col. Ingersoll advanced sew
eral haekneyed arguments with a view to
drawing out an expression from Beecher
When no reply was made those more deep
ly interested wanted to know the reason,
Beecher knew Col. Ingersoll was tender
hearted and arising from his seat, related
an incident where cripple was going
through a slough and was deprived of his
crutches by a cruelty disposed man.
What you'd you think of one who would
do such an unfair thing?"' asked Beecher.
II can't express my contempt. Who was
the MANI" was asked.
1T is you" Beecher said forcibly to the
Colonel, whom he looked on as a rudder-
less spiritual wreck. You are taking the
crutches of weak persons away from them
as they endeavor TO make their way
through the world"

WATER RUNNING wAsrEFuLLY.
Thousands of Gallons Lost Through
Omen Fixtures.

While the insurance agents committee Is
making its appeal for the restoration Of
the appropriation for the fire department
to the same figure as last year. it might
include word or two about the water
commission.
The committees report states that it
found the water department tip-top in
every way. At the same time it is evident
that there is a vast waste of water going
on all over the city which might be great
ly checked
Any one who moves about the city can
not help seeing that there are any number
of faucets constantly open, to say nothing
of the great number of leaks. The ordi-
nance against allowing taps, closets and
MIGRANTS to run constantly IS
practically a dead letter
Chairman Dixon of the water commits
sion admitted that such is the case we
had about so people on the docket last
fall" he said, but the Recorder turned
them loose
Mr.. Dixon explained that the water de-
partment has no complete system of in
spection. 1t has one man, he said, who
gives about half his time to making in
spections of water fixtures, the other half
being given to other duties. The sanitary
inspectors render considerable service in
this respect as the inspectors take note of
leaky and open fixtures, which are re-
ported by the health officer to the water
department. Parties in such cases are no.
tilted to put their fixtures in order.
Why don't you nave a regular system
of Inspection" Mr.. Dixon was asked.
Because we haven't the money he re-
piled. Council cut us down to $50 900 this
year, the lowest appropriation we have
ever had, and we can only get through the
year by the closest management"
inspection would not accomplish any
thing, anyway" said Mr.. Dixon, unless
parties knew they would be punished for
violating the ordinance. 1t is easy enough
for people, when caught by the inspector,
to turn off the water and then let it run
again as soon as his back is turned. The
only remedy is the meter This has been
The experience of every other city of any
size in the country almost. The man who
knows that he will have to pay for all
the water that passes through his pipes Is
not going to let water be wasted if he
can help it, but the man who pays a
stipulated amount by the year without re-
gard TO the amount of water used is not
going to exercise any especial care to see
that water is not wasted, and many peo-
pie do not care how much they waste. As
cur population increases we will either
be compelled to put in meters or to in
crease the water supply"

REV. DIR. LUTHER's SERMONS.
Preached on Unbelief, One of the

commencing at the Garden of Eden and
lasting to the present day. The unbeliev-
ers are not only out of the church. but
there are many. in the churches who do
not have that firm faith and conviction
which they should feel. He said he does
not get excited when he hears men as

that declaration has been made for wears
past ana the lapse of time has only proved
the formidable position it had gained
among all peoples. As long as human ma

the christian religion will successfully
prevail among men. There is great de-

and Eight by Rev. Mr.. Epting.
A class of twenty was confirmed at the
morning service at the Lutheran Church of
the Ascension, the pastor, Rev. DIR. w. C.
Schaeffer officiating. The confirmation
service is one of the most beautiful In the
ritual of the church and was very impress
sive.
The class was composed almost exclu-
sively of girls, there being only one boy
The young ladies were clad in white, ac-
cording TO custom, and made a pretty
sight as they stood in front of the chancel
A sermon was preached to the catechu-
mems by the pastor, after which the SER
vices of confirmation, admitting those bap-
tlzed as infants into the church, were held.
A large congregation was present.
Eight comprised the class confirmed at
ST. Paufs Lutheran Church. Five of
these were girls. They were clothed in
white, and the class was admitted into
the church Immediately after the conclu-
sion of the sermon by the pastor, Rev
NJ. ]. Epting.
The pastor, after the class had come
forward and been arranged in order be-
fore the chancel, addressed the congrega-
ton, explaining the reasons for the con-
firmation of the young people This was
followed by the prayer, in accordance
with the ritual. Questions were then adj
dressed to the conirmants. the answers
ratifying their baptismal covenants, con-
Tossing their faith in the Triune God, OBJ
ligating them to serve God and to live
suffer and die according to His will and
word, this being the consecraton of the
lives of the confirmants. They We're bound
to adherence to the confessions of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church and prom
ised their obedience thereto. The answer
to the last question, asked the confirm
ants, obligated them to fulfill their .du-
ties to the church with which they uni
ted.
The catechumens then knelt, and the
conservatory prayer was offered, the pas
tor placing his hand upon the head of
each. This was followed by the general
prayer and the giving of the right hand
of fellowship TO the new members.
At st. Pauls Church another small
class of confirmants will be received on
Wednesday night and others will be re-
ceived at the Church of the Ascension
on Thursday night.

INSPECTING THE MILK SUPPLY.
DR.. LeHardy Making Tests From the
Dairies


/ Health officer LeIIardy has secured the
milk testing apparatus authorized by the
sanitary board at a recent meeting, and is
now engaged in making test samples of
milk procured in the city
DR.. LeHardy stated to a Morning News
reporter yesterday that he found consid-
cradle variety in the specimens of milk
tested, some being much richer than 9TH
ers DR. LeHardy's proceedings are of in
terest to the milk dealers. Those who are
furnishing milk which is not up to the
standard will hear from him. There may
be deficiencies or impurities In the milk
which are not intentional On the part of
the dealer. DR.. LeHardy will notify each
dealer of the result of the test of the milk
sold by him, and will also suggest the
means OF. remedying any defect which NAV
appear in the quality.
Where il is evident that the milk has
been purposely adulterated or deteriorated
the parties will be put on notice that I'M
less such practices are brought promptly

them. pr. LeHardy considers publicity

MAY BE THROUGH THIS MONTH.


BE Pushed Rapidly Along.
There is belief now that the present
month will see the end of the Carter court
martial. On April II the court will have
been in session three months, of which
nine weeks were occupied by the prosecu-
ton.
Under the recent order from Washing
ton, however. the court is holding longer
sessions daily, and the witnesses now be-
ing introduced by the prosecution are be-
ing examined far more rapidly than has
been the case heretofore. 1t is probable
the defense will have from twenty to
twenty-five more witnesses to go on the
stand, but their examination viii not oc-
cupy so much time, and with longer ses-
sions four or five witnesses a day will
likely be disposed Of
There is quite a number of former en-
ployes of the engineer office, men who were
under Capt. Carter. who will go on the
stand to testify in his behalf. Much Of
the evidence heretofore introduced has
been that of experts, but there viii be
considerable testimony from men who were
actually connected with the work How
long the prosecution win require for the
rebuttal is not known with certainty, but
IL is believed now that all of the evidence
can be put in and the arguments made by
May ! if not before.

SOCIAL EVILS DENOUNCED.
Rev. e. f. Morgan Takes the Grand
Juries to Task.


Rev. f. f. Morgan preached a very in
teresting sermon on Social Evils In and
Around Savannah" last night at the Sew
enth Street Methodist Church. 1t was his
third sermon on this subject.
In his previous sermons Mr.. Morgan re-
and around the city on the Sabbath day.
and called attention to the inaction on the
part of the grand jury to suppress this
traffic.
There is a law" Mr.. Morgan said
against the sale of Intoxicating liquors
on the Sabbath day. and why is 1t not en-
forced? Surely the grand Jurors are not
blind to the fact that it is being done; hum
dreds of people visit Thunderbolt Sabbath
after Sabbath and return to the city more
or less intoxicated; yet grand juries after
grand juries are impaneled, charged, serve
their time, and are discharged and still no
action is taken in that direction"
Mr.. Morgan called attention to the many
gaming houses and policy shops in and
around the city, with no apparent effort
being put forth on the part of the grand
jurors to check them.
Social card-playing," Mr.. Morgan said,
lis another evil which is doing no little
amount of damage to our community
Playing cards for sport often leads to fur

the social card player finds himself at

Social wine drinking and theater going
were also dealt with, but Mr.. Morgan was
more forcible in his denuncation of the
liquor traffic and card-playing.
Considerable sentiment has been created
among the members of MIR. Aforgans con-

subject win have good effect upon the

THE BISHOP OPPOSED TO WAR.
PRINCIPLE AND NOT EsEoTIoNALIsM
SHOULD GOVERN.

Intimated That He Did Not Think
There Is Principle Important
Enough to Justify COnnict-COn-
frmed Thirty-Three Candidates Mt
st. JOhn's-ConfirmatiO Services
Held Also at st. Stephens Church
Last Night.
Bishop Cleland K. Nelson Of the diocese
of Georgia paid his annual visit to two of
the parishes here yesterday for the purpose
of confirming applicants for church mem
bership.
The confirmation services at st. John s
Church took place at o'clock in the MON
ing. and were unusually impressive and in
three, which is about the normal growth
of the church each year.
Bishop Nelson made brief and appro-
pirate address to the confirmation class,
impressing upon them the importance in
life of always following good examples.
There are bad examples, he said, in and
out of the church. but the good should be
sought out and the bad discarded.
The morning sermon at st. Johns was
preached by Bishop Nelson. His sermon
was a typical Palm Sunday DISCOURSE ap-
propriate to the times and interesting. The
lesson was drawn from the story of
Christs entrance into Jerusalem, and the
enthusiasm of the crowd which stood
around as he entered. From this he drew
the lesson that while enthusiasm is a good
thing at the proper time and place, it is
best that everything should be regulated
by principle
Bishop Nelson's subject led him into
somewhat of a discussion of the agitated
condition of affairs between the United
States and Spain. Every affair of this
kind, he said should be regulated by prin-
ciple and not by emotionalism. While he
did not say it in so many words, he left
the impression from his remarks that
there is too much emotionalism involved
in the differences between this govern
ment and Spain, and that there are no
important principles at stake to justify a
war.
Bishop Nelson confirmed a class of
eight. four males and four females, at
st. Stephens Church, colored, last night.
The church was crowded during the SER
vices, which were quite impressive. Fol-
lowing the confirmation the Bishop
preached the evening sermon
