Daring ana Brilliant Feat.

The capture of the burning bridge at
Tarbon a few days later was even a moro
daring and brilliant feat at arms. The scouts
were then under the m OF Lieutenant
J. e, Thornton of the oregon regiment. This
bridge spanned an unfordable stream about
three miles from San Isidro. the Filipino
capital, and was the only means Of crossing
the river. The army was already on short
rations and could not stand a delay in get
ting to the Rio Grande river, on which
stream San Isidro lay. The structure was
defended by heavy entrenchments on the
opposite side of the stream, both above and
below the bridge, and in these We're placed
by Pillar 200 OF the First Manila battalion,
all drilled troops, who had seen service in
the Spanish army, with positive orders TO
prevent the Americans from crossing, and
as a last resort to burn the bridge.
Their fear Of the Americans was shown
by the fact that when our scouts arrived
within sight CT the bridge the structure was
already in flames. Thornton acted promptly.

CHRISTMAS CROWDS INCREASE.
Some DisnEreenbIe Features That
Seem to Demand Suppression.

Seem to Demand Suppression.
The Christmas that has been in the air
for the past week has found its visible ex-
preston in the crowds OF shoppers that
throng the streets and stores each NOM
ing and afternoon, in the general good na-
ture that prevails even with the ordinarily
curt and disagreeable, in the displays Of
holiday goods in the shop windows and
last and worst Of all in the incessant
popping Of torpedoes and fire crackers.
The crowds in the streets have gathered
volume and eni husiasm m with each day of
the week and will continue to increase in
numbers, hiarity and Christmas good
nature until Saturday evening and night.
The custom in Savannah, that seems to
have come down from time immemorial,
Of celebrating Chrlstmas eve with an out-
pouring of almost the entire population Of
the city. that masses on Broughton street,
and does its best 10 make night hide
and existence for its constituent parts un-
comfortable and undesirable, will doubt
less be observed then
The offerings in the stores for the
Christmas season are apparently unusual-
" attractive and pleasing. There is an
array Of bright colors to catch the eye of
those to whom these appeal and a bewill-
ering profusiOn Of articles Of every char
dtAcI ana from every CAltne uuOeT lue
sun, each of which is enthusiastically
guaranteed to be "the very thing for a
present"
The practice of popping torpedoes on
Bull and Broughton and other OF the
principal business streets ard drives Of
the city has become worse than annoy
ing. Crowds of small boys, white, bl ok,
brown and yellow, of every class and from
every section of the city have found It
pleasing in their sight to congregate On
the sidewalks of the streets and to throw
their miniature bombs under the fee, Of
passing horses. If a fiery steed, ridden
or driven by some one whom they think
too well dressed, can be induced 10 r1n
away, their cup of happiness is filled 10
the brim and running over. Next to this
in the matter of furnishing amusement
absolutely unrivalled, is the practice of
bomba riding (ne houses in the residence
sections, thus creating the fear in the
minds of the occupants that they VIII have
a fire about their ears.
There is scarce an hour during the day
that runaway is not produced or on y

the small boy In throwing and exploding

There have been a number of complaints
on the subject and to some of those who
have been loudest in making them il has
seemed that the police should stop the
practice of their own voliton and without
waiting orders from the head Of the de-
partment or that they should report the
matter to Superintendent ScreVen and ask
for direct Instructions. The practice is a
disagreeable example of the ebullilon of
Christmas mirth in. the heart of the small

FOOT CRUSHED BY A WHEEL.
Thomas L. CaraI1er Tried to Get on
a Moving Trolley Car.

a Moving Trolley Car.
An attempt to board a street car while
It was in motion, resulted seriously yes
terday afternoon for young Thomas L.
Caraker, who lives at No 1913 Duffy street
west. 1t was at about 4 O'Clock that he
tried to board a car on Montgomery street
He signalled the motorman to stop. but
thought the man was not going to slow up
at the right place. His effort to board
one of the front steps of the car resulted
in his fall.
Caraker managed to miss the front
wheels of the car. Had he not moved aft
er they had passed he would have escaped
uninjured, but his fears moved him 20
further exertions as he thought he was
not out of harms way. His struggles
caused one of his feet to cross a rail, and
q rear wheel passed over 1t.
The foot was badly crushed The young
man was put aboard the car and taken to
the office of DR.. C. p. Brannon on West
Broad street. where the wound was dress
ed The police ambulance was summoned
and the injured man was driven to his
home.
Dr. A. B. Simmons was called after
Caraker had reached his home. The doc
tor was seen last night and reported that
the foot was badly crushed and that ne
could not say whether amputation would
be necessary. 1t is difficult to gather the
worst about such accident, the doctor

OSTEOPATHIST STILL HERE.
DIR. MayhuGh Says He Has Not Been
MoIested by LOSaI Physicians.

DR.. c. w. Mayhugh is a practicing os-
teopathist in Savannah. He says he is
doubtless the one referred to by DR.. Gra-
ham In the Morning News of yesterday,
as having been forced to go out of busi-
ness by the opposition of local physicians.
DR.. Mayhugh says he was not forced out,
but. on the contrary, is still practicng,
and has never been molested.
Georgia has seemed to be open to osteo-
pathic practice, as there has never been
an arrest in the state OF one engaged in It,
DR.. Mayhugh claims that there is no Vio-
lation of law in his continuing his prac-
tice here, as it is not the practice of med
icine.
1t was the desire of the osteopathists
to have their profession recognized and
placed upon the same footing in Georgia
as the medical profession. DR.. Mayhugh
says it is totally different from the prac-
tice Of medicine and that there is no
earthly reason why ii should be demanded
that osteopathists stand examinations be-
fore medical boards before being admitted
to practice. There would be just as much
reason, he says in there being a law 10
force an electrician to take an examina-
tion in the materia medica, or a homeo-
path to take an allopath's examination,
so different IS osteopathy from medicine.
DR.. Mayhush was told last night that
the bill recognizing The science of osteop-
athy as passed by the Legislature had
been vetoed by the Governor. His atten-
ton was called to that part of the report
received by the Morning News from At
lanta which sta ted that 'it was explained
to the Governor that an osteopath would
have the right to prescribe medicines if
the bill passed, just as any other doctor
of medicine.
Commenting upon this, DR.. Mayhugh
said osteopathisis do not use medicines in
the treatment of diseases. For that rea-
son there would be no fear of their hav-
ing ever to prescribe it. No medicine at
all is considered by them when they treat
a case. They do not ask for authority TO
give medicines and would not take ad-
vantage of 1t if they had it, That was
not the intention of the bill.
As to the Governors statement intimat-
ing that an objection had been raised
that there would be an advertisement of
one particular school, that of "the Ameri-
can School of Ostoepathy at Kirkvlle,
Mo-" DR.. Mayhugh said there are sew
eral other schools and he enumerated five
that he recalled a the moment. These
are confined to no one section, he said.

Appearance at District Court.
w. f. Hutchinson, another of the al
legged conspira tors to defraud through the
use of the mails turned up at the office
of Deputy Clerk Gillespie yesterday morn
ing and entered into a recognizance in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the next
term of the Federal District Court.
Hutchinson was accompanied by his
sureties and the required bond was soon
arranged. He said he would have been in
sooner, but for the fact that he had not
been able to arrange to give bond and
had no desire TO be committed TO jail.
This is the stereotyped excuse made by
all the defendants as they reach the city.
Hutchinson was one of the defendants first
implicated in the case, and a warrant that
had been sworn out before Commissioner
Lewis a month ago had never been served
until yesterday.
