Two Exciting Chases by the Chat
ham Hunt Club.

The meet of the Chatham Hunt Club
took place yesterday at Royals, just off
the waters road. Fifteen members formed
the party.
The hounds were thrown in Immediately
upon reaching the grounds and in fifteen
minutes found. The air was bracing
and the dogs were smart. The first whine
in the bay was followed by the melodious
music of fifteen hounds and all got off in
a bunch They brought the fox out of
the swamp, jumping high. Try as he
might he could not deceive them, and they
stuck close to him, without a let-up until
they forced him to hide in the top of a
pine. Reynard led them to point within
sight of the city, then doubled on his
track and flew back into Royals bay,
where he tried a trick or two. Not being
able to throw the hounds off, he ran with
the wind on a level stretch for a solid
hour. When the dogs put him up the tree
the riders were galloping close and saw
the finish
Mr.. Mansfield of Columbia, S. c., Hunt
Club, attempted to dislodge the fox but
could not, and Mr.. Moncref Of the Chat
ham Club won his hunting spurs by
climbing 90 where Reynard was and
forced him out before the hounds
Within a half hour the dogs were going
in a second chase for a big fox. He ran
two hours through a beautiful section of
the country before taking a tree The
riders had a fine opportunity for an exhi-
rbition of horsmanship.
Miss Haskell rode Rosalba, her faith
er's pretty horse, the best mount in the
chase The young lady is a graceful rider
and thoroughly enjoys riding to the
hounds.
Miss Rauers was well mounted, and was
is her first fox chase. She is a splendid
horsewoman. Her sympathy for reynard
in the last stretch, when the death was
to come, saved his hide. Because he had
afforded the hunters so much pleasure
during the morning-he was not taken
from the sweet gum tree, in which he
was hiding. Among other well mounted
hunters of this meeting were DR. Jno. C.
Haskell, Mr.. Culver, Mr.. Moncrief MIR.
Neal, and Mr. Shuptrne.

PLANS FOR DEPOT
SITE FOR UNION STATION WILL
SOON BE CLEARED.
TO REMOVE FIFTY BUILDINGS.
WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION FEB
RUARY 1.

Visible Evidence That the Union sta
ton Is to Be Built VIII Be Afforded
when the Tract Bounded by West
Broad, Stewart, Roberts and West
boundary Streets Has Been Clear
ed-Bids for the Construction of
the station VIII soon BE Asked.
Arrangements for the erection of
union station in Savannah have been in
progress several months, but the general
public has had no visible evidence that
the work is really to be done and that
Savannah is to have a passenger depot
from which passengers will arrive and de-
part by the Plant System, the Seaboard
Air Line and the Southern Railway. This
evidence. however, is to be given very
soon.
An advertisement is to appear to-day
relative to the more than fifty dwelling
houses and stores that now occupy that
tract on which the union station is to
be built. The Union Station Company
wants to dispose of the houses at auc-
ton. They will be sold early in February
to the highest bidder, and it is probable
that thirty days will be allowed
the buyers for the demolition and removal
of the houses.
1t is possible that, in some cases, houses
can be removed to adjacent lots without
having to be demolished. With so
much work Of removal and tearing away
as seems likely to follow the sale of
buildings. it is probable that contractors
and carpenters will have a good thing and
be kept busy during the thirty days to be
allowed the purchasers.
For year or so the railroads have
owned the property on which the depot
is to stand and have been receiving rentals
from the houses. They would not give
up this source Of revenue did they not
intend to begin the construction of the
station at once, and it is clear from the
sale of the houses that is to be advertised
that the Union Station Company does not
expect to have much more delay about
the actual commencement of work,
A meeting of several interested was held
yesterday at the offices of Messrs. Mackall
and Anderson, Mr. Mackall being presi-
dent of the company. The decision to al
vertise the auction of the houses was
then reached and Mr.. c. II. Dorset was
agreed upon as auctioneer.
The tract that is to be cleared OF houses
10 make way for the union station is
bounded by Roberts, West Broad, Stewart
and West Boundary streets The houses
are built closely together, and the popu-
lation upon the tract is dense. A large
number of families will have to find
homes elsewhere on account of the ap-
preaching sale and removal of the houses
they now occupy.
Plans and specifications for the union
station will soon be received from Mr.
Frank P. Milburn of Charlotte, N. c., who
designed the building. Advertisement for
bids upon the work will then be run, and
it is expected that the contract will have
been let almost as soon as the ground has
been cleared of the houses that now en-
cumber it.

MAD GALLoP ON BROUGHTON.
Runaway Horse Caused n Stampede
Among Pedestrians.

There was a dangerous runaway on
Broughton street, yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. The street was crowded
with pedestrians when a horse belonging
to the John T. Evans Grocery Company
and attached to heavy delivery wagon,
came tearing down the street, westward
from Drayton.
AS he reached Bull street the animal
turned northward, but his speed made 1t
impossible for him to turn sharp so that
he swung across to the west side of the
street and crashed into an iron awning
frame in front of A. w Masterson's place.
The force of the blow threw him and be-
fore he could struggle to his feet man
named Golden got hold of his head and
held him until the harness could be taken
off. He was then allowed to get up and
was apparently none the worse for the
fall, although he had struck the frame
with such force that one of the supports
was torn out of the sidewalk, and had
also upset a heavy boot backing stand.
The wagon also appeared to be in good
condition so he was rehitched to 1t and
driven away.
The colored driver, Frank Began said
the horse became frightened at a street
car on Broughton street, between Aber-
corn and Lincoln streets. He mad tried
10 control the animal in his mad dash but
finding that it was impossible and fearing
momentarily that the wagon would be up
set he jumped out at Drayton street. He
appeared to be hurt worse than the horse
was, as besides striking on the hard pave
ment. he had been turned several SOM
rnersaults before he could stop himself.
There were several narrow escapes from
accidents a party of three ladies' in par
ticular managed to get across the street
barely in time to keep from being run

Council of Jewish Women Adds to Its
Gatherings a Literary Feature.

AT the last monthly meeting of the Sa-
men, an agreeable and interesting change
was made in the order of the proceedings.
Hitherto these meetings have been called
simply for the purpose of transacting the
business of the section, but this arrange
ment being found rather irksome it has
been decided that In future, in addition to
the business part of the meetings. there
viii be some literary work, the biography
and works of some author being taken UP
and discussed.
At the last meeting the life and works
OF Emma Lazarus gave the members an
agreeable afternoon. while at the next
meeting which will be held Feb 4, a bio
graphical sketch of Grace Aguilar and
selections from her writings. probably
from the "Home Scenes and Heart stud
les" will engage the attention Of the
members.
The recently reorganlzed sisterhood of
the Council, which consists of young Ia
dies between the ages of - and 16 years
now numbers about twenty-five members
and is proving a valuable adjunct to the
work Of the council. The ssterhood is in
terested in the same line of work as is
the older organization, though 1t is car
ried out, Of course, on a smaller scale.
The sisterhood members are especially
useful at the mothers meetings that are
held at the Councils Mission School They
will assist at the next mothers meeting
which will be held Jan. %.
a meeting of the Study Circle OF the
Council was held yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock. These meetings are held twice

COMPELLED TO DECLINE.
Judge Speer Could Not Accept Invi-
tatiOn From Chicago Bar.


Judge Emory Speer has recently declin-
ed, with regret an invitation he received
from the Chicago Bar Association. The
invitation was to respond 10 a toast at
the banquet which the association viii
give on the evening of Feb. 4.
The banquet is but one of a number of
celebrat ions which will take place on that
day throughout the entire country, in
which the legal profession IN the various
cities will participate. All these celebra-
lions are designed TO mark the centenniel
anniversary Of the accession of John Mar
shall to the Office of chief justice of the
United States Supreme Court.
John Marshall is the patron saint Of
American lawyers and the great oracle
of American constitutional law. He pre-
sided and delivered the opinion Of the
court in some of the most important cases
that were ever presented to the Supreme
Court and to-day his expositions of con-
stitutional questions are regarded as the
strongest and most luminous in the entire
body of the law.
Judge Speer has been compelled to Ce-
cline this invitation, much against mis-
will. because of the fact that the United
States Courts here viii still be in session
on John Marshall Day.
Some of the members of the bar are
suggesting that it would be well for the
local bar association to observe the day
in some manner and it may be that the
suggestion will meet with such general
approval that 1t will be carried into eff
feet. With the exception of the day that
marked the adoption of the constitution
itself no other day is so worthy of cele-
bration as that on which John Marshall
began his judicial duties as chief justice
of the Supreme Court and its one hun
dredth anniversary. 1t would seem, should
not pass unnoticed in Savannah.

vice in this city in 1899 and that neces-
sarily there was more disorder at that
