F4TJTPE OF "PTLLS."

These are hard times for the faithful. Who
ever thought that good Tammany brave could
be permitted to suffer IN this city for following
Deyerys advice and punching MeCullagh
deputy, or that Il friend of one OF the Wigwam
district leaders could be unable with impunity
to borrow q strange gentleman's watch charm
in the street! Yesterday, however. two devoted
followers of Tammany whose pull has hitherto
been strong enough to defy all efforts Of ordi-
nary, law abiding citizens to bring them to jus
ticewere sentenced TO Imprisonment, one in the
pententiary and the other in State prison.
The first of these worthless q friend OF
Young Tim Sullivan and the extent OF his
pull may be judged by the treatment Of his
case by the police. He and three companions
assaulted a Mr.. Bruce who walking in
SprnG-st. with another gentleman. tried to steal
his watch and got away with the watch charm
after injuring Mr. Bruce and his friend. Kelly,
Young Tins crony, and another man were
arrested. Mr. Bruce and his friend identified
Kelly positively one of their assaants. The
other man they could not identify. but the police
sergeant nevertheless held him and discharged
Kelly, who had the pull The man held was
tried and acquitted, and Kelly would have
escaped altogether if he had not later been
arrested for another assault and on Mr. Bruce's

political prestige among the thieves and thugs
if he does not protect them better.
SO will Martin Engel. Max Hochstim is

been received by Mr.. Wilson and 1t is
not probable that anything will be
done until the matter can be discussed
al meetings of the boards of governors
of the several organizations. Then it
will be decided what shall be done.
1t does not seem probable that all The
clubs will succumb without a fight,
though Mr.. Wilson believes that they
will bow gracefully to the inevitable
and aid by their example the efforts of
the gentlemen whom he represents to
enforce certain laws of the state in this
city.
1t was rumored yesterday that there
was to be a new Law and Order
League, the efforts of which would be
directed towards discouraging those of
the organization Mr.. Wilson represents,
by convincing its members, as we'll as
the people of the city, that there could
be too much of a good thing.
As outlined by one who said he was
on the inside of the movement, the
plan is to enforce every law for Sun
day observance on the statute books
OF the state, everywhere within the linn
its of Chatham county. The sale of
liquor on Sunday is to be stopped not
only in the city, but everywhere in the
resorts, the Yacht Club and other sim
liar suburban organizations are to be
held to the strict letter of the law.
The sale of everything save strict
necessaries is to be stopped in Savan-
nah and every soda water and confec-
tionery establishment in the city will
be made to close it's doors.
I'VE are going to find out Just what
is prohibited by the law" said the gem
/ xyh DC
Law and Order League, "and then we
are going to see that it is actually pro-
htbfted in fact. Among other things
we will see to 1t that the State Fair
does not violate any law and that it's
officers do not permit any law to be
violated on the grounds. We are go
ing to make the people of Savannah
sick of this business of closing up the
city tight and we think there will be a
considerable change in sentiment. The
men behind the movement have plenty
of money and they will make 1t a sue
cess. The Good Government League
will find that it cannot inter-
fere with the clubs of the city,
which include in their membership
practically every man of position,
standing and influence in the city,
without danger of having it's own
plans interfered with seriously"
The outcome of the letters sent the
presidents of the clubs cannot be pre-
dicted. Within some of them, at least,
there is strong element which favoEs

assault, and secured medical aid for
the wounded man.
Later Mr.. Hutton called on Supt.
Reilly at police headquarters and made
report of the assault, which he de-
clared was cowardly and unprovoked.
He stated that Harrelrs assailants had
been In his employ and that they are
known to him. Their names were not
made public and will not be until they
are arrested.
1t is claimed that Harrell was going

TO ANSWER FOR MURDER.
Son HaIden Arrested in Florida for
killing Bullock County Man.

bu&AOck COUhty
Son Holden, alias Robert Bynum,
colored. was lodged in the police sta
ton yesterday morning by Sheriff J. a.
Kendrick of Bulloch county on a
charge of murder. The negro was
brought from PaiatSa, Fla, where he
was arrested Friday. He denies that
he is the man wanted. and accompanied
the sheriff to Statesboro last night
without any trouble.
Holden is charged with the murder
of a white man near Statesboro on
Nov. IS, 1899. The mans name was
John Rabun, and he was commissary
clerk for a planter of that section OF
the county. II appears that there was
a general row among drunken negroes
and that Holden caused most of the
trouble.
Rabun repeatedly warned the negro
to stop. his profanity, and Holden was
insoIent to the clerk, who ordered him
from the commissary. Holden refused.
and when the clerk started towards
him raised his Winchester and fired.
The bullet entered Rabun's heart and
he died Immediately. The negro made
his escape and a reward was offered
for his arrest. The man arrested in
Florida says that he has never been
in Bulloch county. and knows nothing
of the murder of the white man.
