BOTH WE'RE ARRESTED.
Signer of Peace Warrant Arrested
for Larceny.

Henry Coleman, colored, will appear be-
fore Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning on a charge of stealing an ak
from John johnson. The men are en-
poyed on the house drainage work and
the arrest of Coleman came about in a
rather amusing way. Coleman called at
Magistrate Jones office Saturday after
noon late and swore out a peace warrant
against Johnson, who was then at the
City Exchange waiting for his money.
Coleman went ahead of Constable Bar
rett to point the man out and Johnson
evidently suspected what was to follow.
He saw Patrolman ]. w. Woods across
the street and called on that officer to ar
rest Coleman for purloining an ak from
him several days ago. Coleman was I'M
der arrest when Constable Barrett STEP
ped up and that officer went with john
son to police headquarters in the patrol
wagon After Johnson had entered his
complaint against Coleman with the desk
sergeant he was placed under arrest by
the constable on the peace warrant. john
son furnished bail and Coleman will be
given preliminary examination this
morning by Recorder Myrck on the
charge of larceny.

SHOT EACH OTHER.
Negro Men Had Street Duel Mt short
Range in FrogtOwn.

Range in FrOgtOwn.
Charley Thomas, alias Jack O. Dia-
monds." and Ben Rain, alias Wilson, both
colored, had a duel at close range at Will
son and Jones streets, yesterday morn
ing. Rain was seriously wounded, and
is at his home. No. 40 Wilson street, al
most the spot where the shooting occur
red. A bullet broke his right arm. an
other entered the throat and a third en-
tered Razin's chest. Thomas received a
bullet in the right side and another in
the left arm. Neither wound is danger
Gus, and his injuries were dressed at the
police station by Police Surgeon Osborne.
The men were standing almost together
when they began firing, and it is remark
able that each did not receive five pune
lures.
Thomas left Frogtown as soon as he
emptied his pistol and was captured west
of the city by Detective Murphy, after
an exciting chase. The officer found his
prisoner under a house on the Ogeechee
canal bank about two miles from the city.
Thomas had his revolver with him, but
five chambers were empty. He was plac-
ed in the police station and a charge of
tered against him on the blotter.
Thomas had very little to say about the
events that lead up to the shooting, al
though he says that Rain fired the first
shot. He claims that Rain, who was
considered a bully in Frogtown, had been
cursing him and that he repeatedly told
him not to use such harsh language.
Thomas says that he had just stepped out
of RAINS yard and asked that he be
treated with more respect, when Rain
fired. Thomas says that he then pulled
his revolver and emptied 1t at his as
sailant. He did not say why Rain had
been cursing him.
1t was gathered in the neighborhood
in which the shooting occurred that the
two men, with party Of others had been
in a skin game in Razin's house and that
a dispuate arose about the game. Those
who were nearby at the time say that It
was impossible to tell who fired the first
shot and that apparently the men pulled
their revolvers and shot at the same
time. Thomas denies that he was in the
game Of skin although he admits that
one was going on.
Rain was attended by DR.. G. w. Her
lot who says that the negro's wounds
are not necessarily fatal. The ball that
entered the chest broke two of the mans
ribs,

LANDING OF OGLETH0RPE.
Event VIII BE COmnemornted in
Meeting of Historical society.


Meeting of Historical Society.
Feb. u is commonly regarded as the
date of the landing at Savannah of Gen.
James Edward OgIthorpe and his colo-
nists. and the day is set apart in the con-
stitution of the Georgia Historical So
ciety as that for its annual meeting. The
meeting will be held tomorrow night az
Hodgson Hail, and it is desired that all
the members of the society attend who
can possibly do so. Matters relative to
the internal working of the society will
be considered. The society has been OPP
Grating at a pecuniary soss for some time,
and it is desired to devise plans by which
this can be corrected. one suggestion is
that the annual dues be increased from
IS to So
The election of officers will also come
up. 1t is probable that the same board
of officers viii be chosen. Col. George A.
Mercer viii be elected president, and
nothing has been heard OF any impending
change among the officers.
The Society of Colonial Wars in Georgia
was to have observed tomorrow as the
day for its annual dinner. Since the or
ganization of the society it has been Gus
tomary to have the dinners on Feb. y
in Savannah, and there would have been
no deviation this year had it not been
that the council decided a few days ago
to postpone the event indefinitely, because
of the illness of several of the members,
among them the governor, Mr.. j. A. G..
Carson.
Though there is a contention upon the
point, Feb. II is generally conceded to be
properly that for the celebration of the
landing of Oglethorpe at Savannah. Elk
ception to this view is taken by Mr.. julius
L. Brown of Atlanta, however, who in
sists that records plainly show that it
was on Feb. ! that Oglethorpe landed, and
that the addition of eleven days
subsequently to that date for the
revision of the calendar should make no
difference but that the celebration should
fall on Feb. l. Miss Nina Habersham,
for the Joseph Habersham Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution in
Atlanta, wrote a card to the Constitution
showing that the chapter had decided up
on the 18th as the date for it's commemo-
ration of the landing of the colonists.
Mr.. Brown also wrote a card insisting
that the observance should be on Feb. l.
but tomorrow will be a great day among
the Daughters in Atlanta.
There will be no celebration of the day
in Savannah by the Daughters of the
American Revolution. but the Savannah
and the Lachlan Mcintosh Chapters will
combine for an evening on Feb. %, when
papers will be read One of the papers
will be upon Washingtons visit 90 Sa-
vannah and the other upon the visit of
lafayette and the ball and reception CIV
en- in his honor. Members of the d. A.
r. will read the papers.

LOCO GOT WORST OF 1T.
HOrseIess Carriage Met It's Match in
a Street Car.


A locomobile went up against something
yesterday afternoon that it could not put
out of business. Ordinarily the new
tangled vehicle seems able to do for al
most anything with which they come in
violent contact, and pedestrians, bicycles
and buggies stand little show against
them. With a street car however, it is
another story, and the locomobi,e that COL
lided with one at the intersection of Bull
and Duffy streets yesterday afternoon was
the sufferer by deranged steering gear
Mr.. r. V. Connerat was operating the
locomobile at the time of the accident,
which, it is said. seemed to have been
due to a desire on the drivers part to
see how close he could come to the car
with his machine without hitting 1t. The
front wheels of the locomobie went so
far around by the street car that the
steering apparatus was deranged. The
machine had to be trundled into a neigh
boring backyard until means could be
provided for getting it to shop for re-
pairs.

used to be so long and drag so slowly

for people with impossible tastes. and
we are never ready for Christmas,
never. 1t must be the difference in the
weather. Once there was snow for
weeks before Christmas Then 1t was
good to sit by the fire and be glad that
one could stay indoors and have all the
time there was. Now there is no snow,
and we rush about IN the spring-llke

that Christmas isn't coming, until we
tread on it's very toes and bump our

gleam of ambition and touched with
the gold of unselfshness on the far
hilltops and the near foreground) The
woman whose busy brain would work
on Sundays at something reasoned
that if the minister insisted on bring
ing IL death bed scene into the church,
she didn't care to see it or hear about
it, so she constructed that memorable
bridesmaid frock. You've seen it,
Such n dear us it was and so was the
bridesmaid.
Then we carry along our troubles-a
weary load-and the sermon serves
nicely for an obligato to the doleful
monotone which drones through our
heavy brain. We turn them over and
over and almost groan out loud in IL
way that not even Il Methodist does
any more in the sanctuary, and we
nearly ny into little bits because we
want to so back home and gather up
an extra hundred weight.
Sometimes we take our grudges into
the pew and on that Sunday morning
the minister might as we'll preach in
choice Choctaw for all the good his
words do us. If there is anything in
the world that will make deaf ears and
unseeing eyes and a worse than mute
tongue, it Is just poor miserable lit

But instead of this we dress up our
puny, tresome little wretch of
grudge and coax him along to church
and nurse him tenderly while the or
gan sings in triumph and the minister
prays, Forgive us our trespasses as
We forgive them that trespass against
us"-and the person for whom we
cherish the grudse doesn't care bit.

the league persuade the board of con-

it the greatest hardship to be prevent

to understand that melting their chill
