A SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.
Discussed by the Members of the
Savannah ArchdeacOnry,

The series of archdeaconal meetings
was continued yesterday by a corporate
communion of all of the Episcopalian
churches and missions of the city at St
Johns Church at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing, at which Bishop c. X. Nelson presid-
ed and delivered an address on the duties
and responsibilities OF the New Year, and
also a meeting for the organization of a
Sunday school institute for the archdea-
conry of Savannah. This wes held at
Christ Church at O'Clock at night, and
was also presided over by the Bishop.
In a short introduction to the subject
TO be discussed the Bishop said that while
there are many and effective parish socie-
ties and organizations, with the exception
of the annual diocesan convention there
is practically nothing that is corporate
in the diocese and that even when the
convention does meet it Is principally for
business matters and does not conduce to
the corporate welfare of the parishes from
either a literary or a religious standpoint
The purposes of the proposed organiza-
ton. he said, is to give more unity to the
work of the archdea conry, and to further
the interests of the Sunday schools by
having the teachers and officers of The
different schools meet as often as possible
plans for the furtherance of the interests
of the Sunday schools. Such organiza-
lions. he said, are common throughout
the North and the East and one has re-
Gently been established in the Archdea-
conry of Atlanta. and has met with a
large amount of success.
The Bishop invited an open discussion
of the advisability of such an organiza-
ton in Savannah, and the matter was dis
cussed al some length by Mr. e. S. Ell
lott, Rev. j. l.. Scu,ly and Ven. Harry
Cassil. 1t was finally decided to call an
other meeting for the discussion OF the
matter This meeting is 10 be held Sun
day afternoon, Jan. IA, al 5 O'Clock. in
Christ Church. Rectors and super,ntend-
ents of other churches and missions will
be asked to adjourn their Sunday schools
at such a time that their teachers and
officers may be able to attend The series
of archdeaconal meetings will c.ose to-
night at O'Clock, when there will be a
general meeting of church workers in al
branches at ST. Paufs Church.

THE SEASON OF DIVIDENDS.
The Banks and Corporations Paying
OF Their Stockholders.

The banks and other corporations of Sa-
vannah have lately been declaring, by
resolution of their boards of directors
dividends from their earnings of the last
six months. The regularity with which
these dividends are declared shows the
stability and trustworthiness of Savan-
nah's financial institutions.
The Southern Bank and the National
Bank of Savannah have both declared div
idends of 31s per cent, the Germania Bank,
the Citizens Bank and the Chatham Bank
dividends of per cent, while the Mer-
chants National Bank has declared a divi-
dend of per cent. The Chatham Real
Estate aud Improvement Company will
poy its stockholders $150 per share, while
the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Com
peny the Savannah Hotel Company and
the Edison Electric Illuminating Com
pany have ali declared dividends of SO per
share.
This is the season when the disease
known as the coupon thumb becomes
most in evidence, the bondholders of the
city being busily and hence painfully en-
gagged in clipping off these evidences Of
corporate Indebtedness. So far as is of
record none of them has registered a kick,
nor are there lacking plenty of men who
would be willing to incur the disease in
the same manner and with the same
nrnft alAt.

BouRKE GIVEN HIS LIBERTY.
Physicians Determined His Mothers
Death Due to Natural Causes.

NJ. E. Bourke, who was arrested Sun
day on suspicion Of having in some man
ner contributed to the death of his>mother.
Della BourKeena white woman, &C years
old, was released by order of Coroner
Goette yesterday morning.
1t had been intended 10 hold a post
mortem examination upon the body of the
old woman, so that the cause of her death
might be determined. When Drs. Dunn
and farrell reached the Office of the coron-
er, however, and by the light of the sun
made more thorough examination of the
marks and bruises on the face and neck
of the dead woman, they came to the
conclusion that they were insufficient in
themselves to have produced death or even
serious injury, and that some other ex.
PLANTATION must be sought.
The clue came from the statement made
by the son of the dead woman, after he
had been arrested TO the effect that his
mother had suffered from heart trouble
and had been under the care of physicians
for this complaint for many years An
examination of the body. without the use
of the knife, led both DIR. Dunn and DR..
FARRELL to the belief that her death had
resulted from some affection of the heart,
complicated by too free indulgence in
stimulants, and Glat it had not been con-
tributed to by her son. The wounds and
scratches in her face might well have been
produced by the fall she suffered when
she was attacked with the stroke of heart
failure, and at any rate could not have
contributed TO her death. There was no
indication that she had been clicked or
otherwise i'll treated by any one other
than herself
Indeed the evidence all went to show
that Bourke was entirely guiitess, and
Coroner Goette not only dispensed with
the post-mortem examination, but with
the inquest as well, and none was held.
The man. who had been held at the sta
ton house until this conclusion was
reached. was given his liberty. The body
of his mother was buried in the Cathedral
Cemetery

FEW NEW YEARS ARRESTS.
Police Had a Comparatively Quiet
Day.


Yesterday was unusually quiet in the
police department for any time and esre-
cially for a New Year day. Up TO mid
nie hit not more than half a dozen arrest
had been made and they were for COM
paraiively trivial offenses.
Harris Underwood, colored, was taken
in on char of assault with intent to
murder preferred by Prince Mungin who
ayers that on Christmas eve he was at
tackled by Underwood and so badly cut
that he was unable to get out and report
the matter sooner The case was turned
over to Officers Scully. and Stark and in
less than an hour the alleged offender was
in the lock up.
The most serious case of the day was
that of Joe Byrne, a colored youth of 10,
who had secured an excellent jag with
which to celebrate the New Year. For
some reason, which he will hardly be able
satisfactorily to explain this morning, he
took exception to the home of Mr.. NJ. j,
Cody, who lives near Fast Broad and
Broughton streets, and TO vent his i'll feel
ing, began throwing rocks" al 1t, to the
imminent danger of the inmates. officer
j II. Lang attempted to arrest Byrna,
but he was in no mind to have his cele-
bration cut short and fought the officer
so stubbornly that it was only with the
assistance of Patrol Driver Harrison and
the liberal use of his club that Lang final
ly managed to subdue his prisoner.
ByrneS explanations will be rendered the
Recorder this morning

Of the Park and Tree Commission, expired
yesterday and the new terms of Mr.. p.
d. Daffin and Mr.. M. J. Solomons, whose

vented him from calling a meeting of the
commission, for the purpose of taking op-
propriate action in reference 70 the retire
ment of Col. Mercer.
"Col. Mercer is held in high esteem by
every member of the commission" said
Chairman Dafin, and the commission

and intelligent interest in the work of the
commission, and has been of great as
sistance by his advice and counsel. We
regret very much to lose him."

TO ELECT A PRESIDENT.
FalIigant Likely to Succeed McGlas-
han in Veterans Association

The Confederate Veterans Association
will meet at Confederate Hall tonight
this being the occasion of the monthly
meeting of the association.
Due, however, to the election of Gen.
p. McClashan to the command of the
South Georgia Brigade of the state divis-
ion of United Confederate Veterans, Gen.
McGlashan has resigned the presidency of
the association. His successor is to be
elected at the meeting tonight.
1t is generally believed that Judge Rob
ert Faligant, who is first vice president
and hence next in line of promotion, will
be elevated to the presidency. Judge Fal-
llgant is universally popular with the
veterans and there seems to be scarce a
doubt of his election.
