FILM PLANNED HIS EMPLOYER.
Negro Red Hot Vendor Charged with
Larceny After Trust.

John Creddick, colored. was arrested
yesterday by Patrolman Best, and is
held at the police station on a charge
of larceny after trust from Joseph A.
Slower. also colored. A warrant was
recently sworn out in Justnce Wick
hams court for the arrest of the man,
but he managed to successfully elude
the constables. He was seen on East
Broad and Liberty streets by Slower
who called on the patrolman to make
the arrest.
1t is charged that Slower gave Cred
dick money to take out a license to
run red hot wagon, and that Cred
dick secured the license in his own
name. He looked after affairs for sew
eral days and then rowed with Slower,
who fired him, and demanded the IL
cense. Creddick skipped out with the
license, and inquiry at the City Elk
change developed the fact that he had
taken it out in his own name, in place
of the man who really owned the mov-
ing cheap restaurant. The prisoner will
be given a preliminary examination by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

RESCUED DRIFTING LAUNCH.
YavI From Revenue Cutter Picked
Up Pleasure Seekers.

A couple-a young man and woman
had an experience Saturday night in
one of the naphtha launches rented at
Thundefbolt, that they do not care to
go through again, although it did not
end seriously. 1t was a beautiful moon
light night, and the couple decided
that a trip on the placid waters would
be the proper caper.
A small launch was secured, and
along with it went small boy, who
was supposed to do the operating As
it afterwards turned out this was only
a supposition. and the youngster did
not display a great deal of knowledge
on the theory of running a "naphtha. ="
When the boat put out from the Casino
dock a strong tide was running down
the river, and the craft started in that
direction. 1t was in mid stream, and
going rapidly towards the Savannah
Yacht Club when an awful discovery
was made.
There was no naphtha in the tank
or at least that is the reason the boy
gave for the queer manner in which
the boat puffed, and went in the oppo-
site direction. The young lady did<lot
scream or even faint, but she felt al
most as restless as her escort, who be-
gan to wonder what would happen
next. If the tide had been running in
the opposite direction they might have
been carried out to sea, if they went
far enough, and the boy in the boat
reminded them that there was some
thing to be thankful for.
1t wasn't a whole lot to the couple,
but 1t did make some sort of mark on
them and their faces frightened. They
had no desire to desert home and moth
er, or either to spend the night drift
ing in an aimless sort of way, in the
meanwhile furnishing food, not for re-
Election. but for horrid mosquitoes and
sand flies.
The revenue cutter was anchored in
mid-stream and was their only haven.
The boy managed to steer the launch
in the direction of the big government
boat. and drifted by her side. The
young man grabbed hold of the steam
er's anchor chain and held on, at the
same time calling to the sentry pacing
the deck. The officer in command was
told of what had happened, and the
disabled naphtha was towed to the Ca
sino dock by yawl from the cutter.
The couple found ii much pleasanter
listening to the band" at the Casino
during the remainder of the evening.

CONSTANCE FIRST IN
IN THE SECOND OF RACES OVER
THUNDERDOLT COURSE.
META w. HAS FILED PROTEST.
CLAIMS SHE WAS FOwLED AFTER
ROUNDING THE STAKE BOAT.

Capt. Westcott Says Constance, in
Effort to Blanket Meta W., Jabbed
Her Boom i'm Meta WIS Jib Stay.
Ma l.. w. Nelson, Judge of Race,
Will Hold Meeting to Settle
Question the Early Part of This
Week-AnOther Race to Be Sailed
Sunday-First Race Won by the
Constance.
The Constance came in ahead of the
Meta w. again yesterday in the race
between the two yachts, sailed over the
course from the Thunderbolt Casino to
Turner's Rocks and back, but the race
was not awarded to her, as Capt.
Westcott of the Meta w. filed charges
with Mr.. L. w. Nelson, judge of the
race, that his boat was fouled at the
stake boat at Turner's Rocks by the
Constance, and that it was because of
this that he lost.
Mr.. Nelson has called a meeting of
the parties interested for some night
in the early part of this week and the
matter will then be decided, and the
race awarded.
The start, finish and time of the
yachts was as follows:
Start. Finish. Time.
Constance ...4:35:42 5:44.09 1:OS:27
Meta w.. .4:35:49 5:46:39 1:10:5O
The start was a beautiful one, the
Constance getting across the line only
seven seconds ahead of her rival. All
down the river they stuck pretty close
together, though the Meta W. gained
enough to enable her to get around the
stake boat first. 1t was just after she
rounded that occurred the incident
upon which Capt. Westcott bases his
protest against awarding the Constance
the race. In his note to Mr.. Nelson he
says that the Meta w. rounded the
stake boat at Turner's Rocks first and
that as the Constance came around, in
trying to blanket the Meta W., her
boom came in contact with the lib stay
of the Meta W., fouling her and caus-
ing delay that was of vital import
ance to the winning of the race. Capt
Laird of the Constance has not yet
made known his side of the question
The Constance was manned by Capt
7. H. Laird, Jr., Thomas Cleary, John
Duffy, Charles O'Neill and James
Brown, and the Meta w. by Capt
Charles w. Westcott, Thomas Reynolds
and Ed. O'Connor.
The race was the second of a series
of five, of which the winner of three
will receive the cup, presented by a
lover of the sport, and which will be-
come the property of the boat winning
it, without any further contest in its
defense. This cup is now on exhibition
at Messrs. Sternberg & Co.'S.
The first race was sailed July %,
and was won by the Constance, which
beat the Meta w. one minute and
thirty-two seconds. Another race will
be sailed Sunday. There is a great
deal of interest shown in these races.
and quite large crowd was gathered
at the Casino yesterday to see the start
and finish, while many persons accom-
panied the yachts over the course in
other yachts and naphthas

THOUGHT THEM REFORMERS.
A Crowd MObbed Three Men who
Wanted Beer.

A free-for-all scrapping and running
match took place about IL o'clock last
night on Indian street, in the neighbor-
hood of Farm. Three white men went
into a barroom, the name or exact To-
cation of which they afterward refused
to give, and after chatting awhile with
some of the loungers, asked where a
glass of beer could be had. They were
asked whether they were Savannahians
or not. They said that they were and
again began asking questions about the
possibility of getting a drink.
Little information was given them
and they finally started away, but
somehow or other left the impression
that they were members of the Good
Government League looking for infor-
nation against Sunday violators Four
of the men they had been talking with
followed them with the intention of
proving to them that the vicinity was
particularly unhealthy one for re-
formers. They succeeded pretty we'll,
for they broke the nose of one of the
men who wanted beer, gave him sew
eral other bruises equally painful,
though less conspicuous, knocked off
and trampled his hat and convinced
him thoroughly that he was up against
it and that 'it'' wasn't pleasant.
The other members of the party took
to their heels. When the battered one
finally got away from the gang he
hustled for West Broad street and
civilization, managing to find one of
his companions on the way there. He
went to the drug store of Mr.. r. j..
Dukes where he told his story and had
his nose dressed He refused to give
his name or enter complaint with the
police, and most fatty refused to go
back for his hat. The third member of
the party seems to have been lost in
the shuttle for neither of his friends
had any idea of where to look for him
and he had not showed up when the
others started for home.

touches 70 Their Training.
Jack Daily and Jack Bennett, who will
meet in 25-round bout at the The
alter tonight, finished up their heavy
training work yesterday and will take
things easy to-day until they meet in
the ring. Benefits last work was a
go with Tommy Corcoran, with
which the many spectators that had
gathered at his training quarters were
delighted.
The preliminary, between Tommy
Feltz and Kid Davis will begin prompt
ly at o'clock, and the main event of
the evening will be begun as soon as
this has been finished. Owen Zeigler
will be the referee of both affairs. The
principals in the main bout will be
looked after, Daily, by Feltz and AL Nc
Murray, and Bennett by Frank Hart
and Tommy Corcoran. A great deal of
interest is being shown in this bout,
and there Is no doubt that it will be
witnessed by an unusually large num-
Der of spectators.

A HUGUENOT FESTIVAL.
Rev. j. Knatz d. OrioI May Give One
in Savannah This Fall.


in Savannah This Fall.
A letter received in Savannah from
Rev. J. Knatz d'Oriol, whose visit to
Savannah about a year ago in behalf
of the evangelical work of the Hugue-
nots of France will be remembered by
many, states that he is now in Rich
mond, where he proposes organizing
this fall an entertainment on the order
of Huguenot festival, consisting of
tableaux. illustrating some of the inn
portant events in the history of the
Huguenots, together with a lecture on
the history and sufferings of these peo-
pie. The lecture will be supplemented
with stereopticon views. In addition,
it is proposed to have a large chorus
of young ladies sing of the most popu-
lar Psalms of the Huguenots.
Mr.. d'Oriol believes that the social
feature of this plan will prove popu-
lar and attractive, and would serve TO
bring into prominence his work in be-
half of the Huguenot church. Should
the plan prove successful in Richmond
he proposes giving a similar entertain
ment in Charleston, and should suf-
ficient encouragement be offered here
the entertainment will be repeated at
Savannah.
Mr.. d'Oriol is an accomplished and
talented gentleman, well versed in the
history and literature of his country,
as we'll as in that of his faith and an
entertainment of the kind proposed I'M
der his management would doubtless
be a very successful affair.

SUICIDE GUTH BURIED.
His Remains Inferred In Laurel
Grove by Royal Arcanum.

Otto Guth. the Augusta tailor. who
committed suicide by asphyxiation,
early Saturday morning. in the Grand
Central Hotel. an account of which was
given in the Morning News, was buried
yesterday morning in Laurel Grove
Cemetery. The funeral services We're
conducted by Rev. w. C. Schaffer. pas
tor of the Lutheran Church of the AS
Cension.
Members of the local order of the
Royal Arcanum attended the funeral
and the burial was in the lot of the
order. Undertaken Goette received in
structions in the morning from the To-
cal order to have the funeral of Guth
at . O'Clock, and the man was buried
a the expense of the society of which
he had been a member. News of Guths
tragic death was cabled from Augusta
to Mrs. Guth in Germany, and she will
probably come to this country at once.

RACE FOR ORDINARY.

HIS ENTRY WOULD CHANGE THE
SITUATION CONSIDERABLY.

Would he a Party to the Primary

w. b. Stubbs. Esq, is still prob
able factor TO be considered by the
politicians in.making their calculations
as to whom will fall the prize in the
coming primary. Mr.. Stubs has I'M
der consideration the advisability OF
entering the field. In the event that
he does he will, of course, be a party
to the primary.
In discussing the ordinaryship Mr..
Stubs said that he had not yet made
up his mind as to what course he
would pursue. A number of friends
have spoken to him but to none had he
given a decisive answer. Assurances
of support had come unsolicited and
it was but natural that he should give
the question some thought. Inasmuch
as the primary will not be for some
weeks MIR. Stubs evidently did not
think that precipitate action was re-
quired.
If Mr.. Stubs should enter the race
the situation might be considerably
changed. The friends of other candi-
dates acknowledge that he would prob
ably receive the support of a large part
of what is known as the church ele-
ment, the vote that in the past has
largely been an uncertain quantity, di-
Vided between the two local factions,
but which the more astute politicians
now regard as somewhat solidified
through the Jones meetings and the law
and order agitation 1t is down in their
calculations that this vote will be
larger this year than in the past, and
that it will be more subject to what
may be termed moral influences. While
there is no saying positively that Mr..
Stubs would secure all of this vote
1t is regarded as reasonable that he
would be looked on with favor by con-
siderable of it. He has never been iden-
titled actively with either faction in
local politics and this, it is held by his
friends, would strengthen him before
the general public.
1t is probable that during the coming
week there will be caucuses of the ac-
tive working friends of all the candi-
dates. Mr.. Collins has had couple of
such meetings and another, it is gos-
siped, is scheduled for the De Soto
some night soon. Mr.. w. P. Bailey
friends are also talking of a meeting to
discuss campaign measures.
Capt. McAlpins canvass is we'll I'M
der way and it is apparent that the
other candidates will lose no time in
consolidating their strength and bring
ing every influence possible to bear on
the doubtful voters who are numerous
enough as yet to have the election in
their own hands if they were to unite
in favor of some dark horse.

FAIR GROUND ROUTE.
Trolley Cars RuBning to Thunder
bolt Over the Old Collins Line Now.

bolt over the Old Collins Line Now.
The old Collins trolley line from Sa-
vannah to Thunderbolt, the Savannah
and Isle of Hope Railway, has been put
in first class condition, and an after
noon and morning schedule is being
run by the Savannah, Thunderbolt and
Isle of Hope Railway Company. Two
cars are run in. the morning and the
same number in the afternoon, and the
slow schedule will be kept up until
the roadbed has been thoroughly bal
lasted, and put in proper shape.
When the line was purchased some
nine months ago by Mr.. j. S. Collins
it was stipulated that the roadbed
should be rebuilt, and cars put in
operation by Aug. IS, 1901. This part of
the contract had to be carried out by
the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Company when the property was
taken charge of, and accounts for the
fact that Thunderbolt can be reached
by two trolley routes.
When the labor trouble began several
weeks ago General Manager McIntira
remembered what was required of the
company under its contract, and began
at once to have the line equipped and
ready for use. In many places new rail
was laid, and crossties were put down,
poles were erected and wire was strung.
The work was pushed rapidly and has
been completed some time before the
date agreed upon.
The Collins line passes through land
owned by the Merchants and Me-
chanics Company, and for this reason
that company forced the purchasers to
agree to repair and operate the line.
The route goes by the Fair grounds on
Dale avenue, and, too, passes the old
Wheelman's Park. While this place
has practically gone to wreck it can be
repaired, and the track may be put in
condition in time for racing next sea-
son. The bicycle track and bicycle
racing in Savannah died with the Col
Inns line, and now that it has been put
back in use something may be done by
the wheelmen.
General Manager McIntire is still ill
but was out for a while yesterday. He
Will take active charge again this
morning, however. and will this week
put on regular cars to the fair grounds
on Dale avenue. The line has already
been built, and during the past week
cars were run for the accommodation
of persons employed at the grounds.
The company hauled on an average of
20O Workmen day, and a car was run
in the morning, and another in the
late afternoon.
Mr.. McIntire intends to put on
thirty minute schedule for the present,
and the cars will be run from the City
Market. passing through Collinsvile,
and south on Waters road. There are
many who have desired to visit the
Fair grounds who will now have an
opportunity to do so with a regular
schedule in operation. The cars will
be marked Fair Grounds"

TURNED THE SWITCH.
Narrow Escape of Central Train
From "a Wreck.

Train No 2, Conductor Beach, on the
Central of Georgia, ran into an open
switch at Lewiston, station between
Macon and Gordon, yesterday. and just
missed smash up by the prompt ac-
ton of Engineer Catherwood.
The train was going at regular speed
when it flew on to the siding on which
there was a box car. but prompt set
ting of the brakes stopped it within Il
cars length of the danger. No damage
was done other than giving all on
board the train a sudden shaking up.
1t was found that some one had
broken the lock and turned the switch.
Such acts of villainy are rare on the
Central, and every effort will be made
to arrest the train wrecker.
