BEER DRENCHED CUSTOMERS.
Sunday Buyers Almost Drowned by
Explosion of a <eg.

People in the vicinity of Bull street
saloon last night were startled by muf-
fled sound, followed by a rush of people.
The side door of the bar was thrown wide
open and a dozen men rushed out of the
place. The most of them were dripping
from head to feet with fresh beer, just
from the key. One young man, evidently
a member of the Shirt Waist Brigade
appeared to be soaked to the skin and
was half blinded with the lager. The
foam was dripping from his hair and he
was saturated with the beverage.
Inquiry developed the fact that bust
ness was brisk in the place and that it
had been found necessary to tap a fresh
key. There was a mishap during the
tapping and the contents of the keg burst
like waterfall over the thirsty crowd.
leaning against the bar. When the ex-
plosion occurred some of those in the
place thought that a representative of
the Good Government League had taken
a snap shot of the scene.
In less than a second they found that
they were wrong and almost began to
wish that the first theory had been true
1t is not known whether any of the
league spies were stationed near the sa-
loon, but more than one suit of clothing
will smell of stale beer this morning and
If the spies have keen sense of smell
they will have no trouble in finding nu-
mcrous witnesses.

FL0CKED TO THE RESORTS.
Hot Weather Sent Crowds of People
Out Of the City.

Yesterday was a record breaker for the
season for the resorts. 1t came very near
being a record breaker in weather too. At
2 O'Clock mercury registered 90 degrees.
l degree lower than the maximum for the
month Of June.
The sultriness caused crowds to flock to
the resorts, for a breath of fresh air, and
Thunderbolt and the other suburbs. Two
thousand and one persons went to Tybee,
about 100 more than visited the island last
Sunday, and the largest crowd of the sea-
son. superintendent saussy said that this
season is already about 1000 people ahead
OF last year at the same time.
The railroads brought several thousand
excursionists into the city, and almost all
OF them took in some of the resorts. The
majority went TO Tybee, although many
went to the Casino al Thunderbolt The
crowd at this resort was enormous, and
Manager Nelson was kept busy providing
the visitors with seats. Concerts were
given during the afternoon and evening.
The restaurant at the Casino is not in
operation, and large numbers were forced
to come to the city earlier than they de-
sired Manager Nelson was unable to say
when he will open the cafe, which prom
ises to be a great addition to the resort.
Many of those who visit the place in the
Afternoon desire to remain over for the
evening performances, and would do so
If a well-kept restaurant were in opera
ton.
The street railway management was
kept busy hauling sweltering people oil
the belt lines and all of the cars were
crowded. The excursionists were liberal
patrons and used the cars after their trip
to the resorts Isle of Hope accommodate
ed a large crowd, and the usual number
visited the Savannah Yacht Club.
The heat was severe last night, and at
midnight it appeared as if July intends to
start off with a sprint. June closed q de-
grees behind, making a total of 1913 de-
grees deficiency since Jan. l. July is us

WHITE RIBBON MISSION.
PretentiOus Building as a Home Pro-
jected on Liberty Street.


Plans for the White Ribbon Mission to
be built on Liberty street, west, are be-
ing drawn by Mr.. Henry Urban architect,
and the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union expects soon to begin the work of
construction. The building, when complet-
ed, will be used as home for the friend
less. Waits and unfortunates of the
streets will be given lodging, and the in
stitution is looked to to prove a great
benefit to the city.
The building will be rather imposing in
it's dimensions. 1t will be three stories
high, built of brick and will cover large
lot located just west of st. Patrick's
Church, corner of Liberty and West
Broad streets. The lot is now occupied
by buildings, whose removal for the home
will be no loss to the neighborhood APP
pearances.
The lot reaches from Liberty street to
Stone. portion of it, that fronting on
Liberty street, was donated by a Savan-
nah lady vino desires her name withheld.
The other portion of the lot was bought
by the w. c.. T. U. for $1,000, of which
the lady contributed $3.50, feeling that
her aid in the donation of the Liberty
street section was not all that she should
devote to the cause, in which she is great
ly interested. The lot, therefore, on which
the building will stand, cost the w. C.
T. U. but $780, when it is said to be
worth at least $1,000
When completed, the building Mr.. Ur-
ban estimates, will cost $4,000. 1t will
consist principally of dining room, kitch-
en- and dormitories though there will be
large chapel in which religious exer-
cises may be held
