Chicago Board of Trade Succeeds in
Preventing Posting Quotations.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20,-For the first time
in the history of the bucketshop as an in
stitution in Chicago, there is not one in
the city today posting the market quota
tions Of the Chicago Board of Trade or
making trades in grain and provisions.
When the Board OF Trades fight on
bucketshops began in 1886 there were
eighty different concerns in Chicago.
Since then the board has made it un-
safe for the bucketshop proprietors to
use the United states mails in soliciting
customers and has made it impossible for
them to post the board,s quotations.

mia Moratorium and Trachoma," will

tody and that he has no desire TO take
them back TO South Carolina. If they have
sentences hanging over their heads else
where.
Chief Daley SAYS that the killing OF
Capt. John J. Griffin by Maj. Barnard Bee
Evans at Columbia Saturday. a full ac-
count OF which was published in the
Morning News yesterday. has cast a gloom
over his bailiwick. The head OF the Co.
lumbis police department says that there
can be no doubt that the fatal shot was
fired by Mai. Evans. but the only theory
that he can advance is that the man who
did the Shooting was under the influence
% liquor and irresponsible for his actions
Both men were warm personal friends,
and the homicide was a graf shock to the
people OF Columbia.

Savannah. Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway, between the city and Thunder

during the summer if the patronage is
sufficient.

deavor to provide for the pleasure of its
members. The board of stewards elected
at the annual meeting last month, has
under consideration a number of improve
ments, which will add to the popularity

handsome grounds overlooking the river.

the chief attractions of the grounds.

CONFIRMATION SERVICES.
Many Received Into the Church b!
Bishop c. n. Nelson.

B1shOp 4. IA. nelson.
Bishop Nelson was in Savannah yester-
day and held confirmation services in
three churches. At Christ Church at the
II o'clock service, he confirmed class
of nineteen, and afterward made them
them an eloquent address.
In the afternoon at st. Michaers Chap
ell the Bishop received into the church
a class of twelve, eight girls and four
boys. His address was on the text, Ec-
clesiastes VS., Better is it that thou
shouldest no VOW than that thou
shouldest vow and not pay" The vow
taken at confirmation. he said, is a COW
enant between the person taking it and
God In it man promises repentance, and
God promises pardon; man promises faith
and God, grace; man promises obedience,
and God. eternal life. The vow of con-
frmation, he said, though it is encour-
aged by the church. is not obligatory,
but when once taken it continues bind
ing. 1t was there that he applied the
words of the text, for, he said, it were
better that this vow be not taken if the
person confirmed did not intend to live
up to it.
At St. Augustine Mission, colored, also,
last night, the Bishop confirmed a large
class.

VICIOUS CRAZY NEGRO.
Attempted to Kill Wife with Hoe at
HIOomin gdaIe.

William Garreton, negro resident of
Bloomingdale, on the Central Railroad,
near Savannah, attempted TO kill his wife
with hoe Saturday and came very near
being successful. The negro is demented
and but for the interference of outsiders
he would have hacked his wife to pieces.
A resident of Bloomingdale came to Sa-
vannah and swore out a lunacy warrant
in the Court of Ordinary. Deputy Sheriff
Fennell went to the neighboring town
yesterday and arrested the man and
brought him to the city. Garreton was
placed in the county jail. where he will
be held until a jury can investigate his
mental condition.
1t is said that the negro had an attack
of fever several weeks ago. and that after
his recovery he lost his reason. 1t was
not believed that the negro was dangerous
until the outbreak Saturday.
