DESERTED HIS HACK.
Driver Had an Original License Not
Issued by the city.

A horse and hack, which were secured
under peculiar circumstances, were taken
to the barracks last night. No carriages
or hacks are allowed under the shed Of
the wharf at the foot Of Abercorn street
and the policeman on duty there last
night, finding one on the wharf ordered
the driver to take it out on the street and
wait for his fares there. The driver was
quite impudent. and insisted that he had
a paper that gave him the right to drive
his cab wherever he pleased.
The officer demanded visible proof of
this authority and was handed a soiled
piece Of paper, but before he had time to
read its contents the driver jumped out
of the hack and ran away. As there was
no number on the hack and as no license
could be found on it, the officer took il
10 the barracks. He also took along the
paper, of which the following is a verba-
tim copy: This is to-sertfy that 1 am
a old soulder & have lisense from the
Ordinary OF Fulton Co. Atlanta, Ga.
state license to buy & sell & run a bust
ness l have hired this Boy that is in
charge of this Hack to run it for me-
Even had the policeman been inclined
10 accept the authority of this remark
able document the fact that the driver had
skipped, left him no option in disposng
of the vehicle, 50 he sent it TO the bar
racks The address of the supposed own
er of the hack is on the paper and he,
viii be summoned TO appear in the Re
corders Court this morning.

FATALLY SHOT BY A FRIEND.
SIN BAY CRAP GAME ENDS IN
DEATH.

sam Gardner Undertook to Break Up
the Dfce-Then in ReIOading His
Gun He EmptIed a Charge of shot
Into His Friend, James smith.
Gardner Gave Himself Up at the
barracks and Claimed Shooting
Was Accidental.
Sam Gardner shot and fatally
wounded James Smith yesterday after
noon through the accidental discharge of
his gun.
Seeing that the man was badly wound
ed, Gardner asked some of his friends to
secure a wagon and have him taken
home, and he himself went to the bar
racks and gave himself up, stating to the
sergeant that he had killed a man.
Gardner said that he was out shooting
larks in the morning, and during the
course of his rambles after game came
up back of the colored cemetery where
he was hailed by number of men who
were engaged in a game of crap. Among
them was Smith, who was a friend Of
Gardner, and who, as he came nearer,
asked LOT Inc IOan OF a nlCkel, explaining
at the same time that he was playing
crap for a cent a throw and wanted a
stake.
Gardner stood watching the game for
some time, and then saying that he
would show them how to shoot dice put
them in his gun and fired them away.SHe
then commenced to load his gun pre-
paratory to continuing his hunt, but in
closing the breech the shell was fired, and
Smith, who was standing only few feet
away, fell with the exclamation, God
have mercy on my SOUL Gardner hardly
realized what had happened, and going to
the fallen man asked what was the mat
ter. ITS too late, Sam" he said, I'm
dead"
Gardner made a hasty examination and
found that the whole load of shot had
entered Smiths side just above the hip.
He then asked the mans friends to take
charge of him and he came TO the city
and gave himself up.
The police ambulance was sent for and
the wounded man taken to his home in
New Houston street. lane, near Burroughs
street where he died last night at 8
O'Clock.

BUSINESS IN RELIGION.
Mr.. Cook Believes 1t Could Be Intro
duced BenehciaIIy.

A large congregation worshipped at Wes-
ley Monumental Church yesterday morn
ing Rev. Ed F. Cook, the pastor, took
for the subject of his sermon Religion
and Business" The text was from Ro-
mans, 1211; BE not slothful in business;
but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord
The pastor said These two PROPOSE
tions are plain. First, we need more re-
ligion in our business; second, we need
more business in our religion" He pro-
ceeded to discuss the second of these prop
ositions, announcing that next Sunday
morning he would present the first.
Mr.. Cook said that he had been i'm
pressed by the recent discussions and plans
of the Savannah Merchants Association.
Il is clear that these business men recog-
nize that II takes thrift, enterprise and
wisely directed effort to develop the ma
terial interests of a city. For these views
and the plans on foot Mr.. Cook expressed
a most cordial sympathy.
But at this hour" he said Il desire
to call your especial attention to the les
sons which the Church can learn from the
spirit and method of Inc business world.
1t is eminently true that the same thrift,
enterprise and wisely directed efforts in
the Church would wonderfully develop her
interests and enlarge her usefulness. 1t
is impossible to run the Church success
fully in this day of rapid progress with
out more of the method and principle of
the business world. We need more of
the business spirit in the development of
personal character and in the prosecution
of Christian work. One of the greatest
hindrances to effective and successful
church work is careless and slip-shod
method. We surely need to make our re-
ligion more of a business
Mr.. Cook then discussed the qualities
of the successful business man, showing
that he rises to success by being faith
full, diligent, wideawake, attentive TO de-
tail and honest. He then showed how
these same qualities, eXemplified in the
religious life and effort of busy men,
would yield corresponding development
and success in Christian character and
work. He closed with a most earnest APP
peal to the Church to learn wisdom from
the method and life of the busy world
and to exemplify every condition of the
highest success.

"BELSHAZZER- BAD MAN"
The Subject of Rev. j. ID. JOrdan's
Sermon to Boys and Girls.

Al the First Baptist Church yesterday
morning Rev. j. d. Jordan preached
sermon for boys and girls, taking for his
subject "Belshazzar-a Bad Man" and for
his text Daniel, 5;27, Thou art weighed
in the balances and art found wanting"
God had five objections to Belshazzsr,
said DR.. Jordan. He had a proud and
stubborn heart he had a rebellious spirit,
he desecrated sacred things, he worshipped
idols, and he neglected the true and liv-
ing God. Belshazzar was held up by DR..
Jordan as an example of what not 10 be,
and his sins of omission and commission
as but the prototypes Of sins that are even
now every day committed against God,
and which God will in his own good time
avenge, even as he avenged the insults
offered him by Belshazzar.
To-day. as in that far off time of which
Daniel spoke is found the proud and stub
born heart that resists Gods kindly inhu-
ence and with a self sufficiency born of its
ignorance continues on It's way to destruc-
ton. The rebellious spirit is typihed in
the person who knows the error of his
way, yet is TOO proud 10 acknowledge II,
ana If he does strives by merely human
means to accomplish within his heart and
life the work of redemption that is essen
TALLY the attribute Of the divine spirit.
The decoration of sacred things is to
be seen daily in the PROCLAMATION of the
Sabbath und in the taking of Gods name
in vain. The worship of idols need not
necessarily mean prostraton before fig
utes of wood or stone, but occurs when
ever merely earthly objects and desires
are allowed to interpose themselves be-
tween man and God. All earthly aims
and ambitions are vain and evanescent
when compared TO the Christians love of
God and hope Of heaven.
Dr. Jordan admonished his hearers,
whether boys or girls, men or women,
TO cast out from their hearts the evils
and superfiuities Of life and turn 10 God
for that grace and divine love and pro-
lection that alone had the power to save.

DEWEY WILL COME MARCH 20.
HE IS At THE DISPOSAL OF sAVAN-
NAH's COMMITTEE.

Now Certain That He VIII Spend Two
Days in savannah-WiH Go From
Here to Macon, Where He win
he Also Entertained, and From
Thence VIII Go to FIorida-Macon
Asks for information of Savannah's
Programme in Order That She May
Not Duplicate 1t.
Admiral Dewey will visit Savannah
March 20 and 21. After leaving here he
will go to Macon, where he will be enter
tanned by the citizens of that city, after
which he will go to Florida.
This Information comes from President
George A. Smith, of the Macon Cham
Der of Commerce, who received it from
Congressman Bartlett, of the Macon dis
trict. Admiral Dewey had already stgni-
fled his willingness to come to Savannah
the latter part of March, and the local
Invitation Committee, at its recent meeting
fixed upon March 90 as suitable date.
President Purse of the Board of Trade, is
now in correspondence with the Admiral
with reference to the length of his stay,
and also as to certain features of the pro-
gramme upon which it was deemed well
to consult him.
That Admiral Dewey has decided to ac-
cept Savannah's invitation for March 20,
and that he is willing to remain two days,
as desired by the committee is shown by
the letter received by Capt. Purse yester-
day from President Smith. who states
that in a letter received by him Saturday
Lot or
says that Admiral Dewey will visit Sa-
vannah on March 20, and that after his
visit here he will go to Macon and thence
to Florida. The following is an extract
from President Smiths letter:
The Admiral suggested to Congressman
Bartlett that it would be well for us to
apprise ourselves of what arrangements
you had made for his entertainment in
Savannah, and how long you will keep
him there. OF course, you win want 10
keep him as long as possible. What we
would like to know is what your pro-
gramme for entertaining the Admiral in
Savannah is, in order that we may not
duplicate in Macon; and when you will
turn him loose, so that we can fix day
for him to visit Macon and arrange for
his entertainment. You were a day in
advance of us in extending your invita-
ton to the Admiral last fall, and it seems
that you will have the pleasure of en-
tertainng him a day in advance of US
this spring"
Capt Purse replied to President Smith
yesterday, stating that it was the desire
of the Savannah committee 10 have Ad-
mral Dewey here March 20 and 81, and
that a programme covering that period is
now the subject of correspondence with
the Admiral. LAS soon as We know the
Admirars pleasure" stated Capt. Purse,
you will be welcome 10 the details, and
l will communicate them to you. Unless
the Admiral and party move by special
service which is highly probable, he could
not we'll reach Macon before the after
noon of March %"
The information received from Con-
gresham Bartlett through President
Smith, shows Mat Admiral Dewey is hold
ing himself at the disposal of the Savan-
nah committee as regards time, and that
ne can be safely counted upon for two
days. What the committee would like to
be assured of now is that the Admiral
will be accompanied by Mrs. Dewey.

tOrate of Duffy street Church.

Rev. j. D. Chapman, D. D., pastor of
the Duffy Street Baptist Church, has re-
ceived a call to the pastorate of the First
Baptist Church at Anderson, s. c. Ii is
feared by the members of his congrega-
ton here that he will accept the call
which is regarded commonly as an advan-
tageous one from several aspects.
In response TO the invitation of the
church that desires him to become its
pastor DR., Chapman left last week for
Anderson and on yesterday preached two
sermons from the pulpit he has been asked
permanently TO occupy. The Baptist
Church at Anderson is probably the lead
ing religious organiza ton of that thriv-
ing and prosperous little city, and 1t has
made DR.. Chapman generous offer 9th
er circumstances combine to render the
call desirable, and it is very likely that
he will accept the offer, though he has
not yet positively decided TO do SO.
