FELL THROUGH A HATCH.
Julius l.. Lee Was Seriously Hurt on
the Bark KampfjOrd.

Mr.. julius L. Lee was found lying
helpless early yesterday morning in the
hold of the Norwegian bark Kampf-
jord at the foot of West Broad street.
He had lain there the greater part of
the preceding night, part of the time
unconscious, and even when possession
of his faculties had returned, he was
too weak to help himself or call for
aid sufficiently loud for the few who
were around to hear him.
AS soon as the men began to gather
around for the days labors, a colored
man heard calls for help and loud
groans. and located them as coming
from the ships hold. He went to the
assistance of the injured man and
helped him to the wharf. There he
told how the accident occurred. He
said that while making his rounds
he fell into the hold, the
hatch being open, and that is all he
remembered for some hours. When he
regained consciousness he was suffer-
ing fearful pain, and his limbs were
bent under him. He tried to call, but
no one seemed to hear him for a long
time.
The unfortunate man. who is quite
aged, was attended by DR.. G.. H.
Johnson and sent to the Park View
Sanitarium in the police ambulance.
From the nature of his injuries, it
seems that he must have landed on
the rock ballast in the hold of the YES
sci head first as he has a severe scalp
wound, broken collar bone. little fin
ger on right hand broken, wound in
temple, and numerous bruises about
the body.
Late in the evening it was stated by
a nurse at the sanitarium that Mr.. Lee
was resting well. His injuries are very
severe, and his age is against him,
but it is thought that he will recover,
unless there are internal injuries,
which cannot be told as yet.
Mr.. Lee was in charge of the ship,
having agreed to remain aboard at
night, when captain and crew are
ashore

THE SOUL OF HER CHILD.
Negro Lunatic Believed Druggist
Had 1t in His Keeping


Had 1t i'm His Keeping.
Ada Christian, a negro woman pos
sessed of d queer Authorization, was
found insane by a jury from the Court
of Ordinary yesterday. The jury re-
commended that she be confined in the
state sanitarium for the insane at Mil
ledgeville, until, if ever. she RECEIVERS
the use of her mental faculties.
The woman labors under the delusion
that druggist of the city has obtain
ed possession of the soul of her child
and refuses to deliver it up. This is the
burden of her principal mania, but she
has a dozen others. The witnesses
agreed that it was dangerous to her
self and her friends to permit her to
continue at liberty.
She told a wandering and incoherent
story to the jury that Investigated her
case. She said that her troubles be-
gan with the gift of a "voodoo hand. .
which she had received from a witch
doctor named Johnson, resident in the
city. This eerie gift. she proclaimed.
had rendered her an easy victim of the
evil spirits and other ghostly visitors
that infested and made terrible her
path in life

TWO MINISTER'S TO MOVE.
Rev. Anthony and Rev. Cook to BE
Transferred i'm December.

Within a few weeks the ministers of
the Methodist Churches will begin to
put things in shape prior to making
their reports to the meeting of the
South Georgia Conference. which will
be held Dec. 3, at Thomasville. 1t is
this conference that assigns the min
listers to their various pastorates.
1t will have a special interest for
many Savannahians this year mas
much as both Rev. Ed. F. Cook. pas
tor of the Wesley Monumental Church.
and Rev. Bascom Anthony, pastor of
Trinity Church, will have served their
appointed time of four years in their
present stations and will. therefore,
be transferred to other pulpits.
A popularity in the case of Rev. Mr..
Anthony is that he is the third of the
whole line of Trinitys ministers to
serve the full period of four years. His
predecessors in this regard were Rev.
r. ]. Corley and Rev. T. T.|Christian.
The other Methodist ministers of Sa-
vannah, Rev. j. A. Smith, pastor of
Epworth Methodist Church, and Rev.
c. A. Jackson of Grace Church. are
under no necessity of being removed,
though the action of conference can
never be foretold.

CAVALRYMEN DECAMP.
Troopers of First Regiment Broke
Camp at HinesviIIe.

Camp at HinesviIle.
The cavalry troops, which have been
in camp at Hinesville for four days
past broke camp yesterday. The mem
bers of the camp of instruction derived
a vast amount of good from the short
encampment. There were many new
men in the various commands who had
never before been in camp, and to them
as we'll as to the Older members. the
guard duty, guard mount, range prac-
tice and fitting were beneficial in the
extreme.
But the greatest good accomplished
by the encampment was in the interest
instilled in those present in carbine
shooting and fitting. Several of the
officers were so much impressed with
the success which the Liberty indie
pendent Troop, the host of the en-
campment, had attained in the erection
of its new armory and the completion
of its range, that they left yesterday
with well-defined intentions to emu
late its example.
The encampment this year was much
larger than the one the year previous,
and it is Capt. Cassels desire to make
the one next year even a greater sue
cess, numerically and otherwise, than
the one just ended The invitation to
attend the encampment was sent out
so late this year that it was impossi-
BILE for some of the troops of the regi-
ment to make proper preparation to
attend. Next year the invitations Will
be sent at any earlier date, and it is
probable that every troop in the regi-
ment will be able to send large rep
resentation.
Capt. Cassels will return to Savan-
nah this morning. He has been at
the camp the entire week, and has been
tireless in his efforts to make the en-
campment a success, and to please the
visiting cavalrymen. In this he sue
ceeded admirably. The visiting troop
ers were pronounced in their praise
of their hosts, the Liberty County
Troopers, and greatly appreciated the
hospitality accorded them. They all
went away with the intention and de-
termination to return next year.

MERCHANTS SLOW TO ACT.
GEN. Gordon Reiterates Need for
Protest Against Discrimination.

The movement to establish a Cham
Der of Commerce in Savannah or else
so to rehabilitate and rejuvenate the
Board of Trade as to At it for the per-
Torrance of needed activities, seems
to lag solely for the lack of a leader.
With one accord the merchants of the
city have expressed their belief in the
wisdom of the plan. and only an eff
fort is needed to bring them together.
Gen. w. w. Gordon has reached the
opinion that work inside the Board of
Trade is what is needed to advance
Savannah's interests and protect the
business of the city against railroad
discrimination.
II believe" said Gen. Gordon. that
a greater good will be accomplished by
building up the Board of Trade, Sc
curing the membership of all classes
of business men and thus providing a
sufficient fund for the conduct of a
freight bureau under its auspices, than
if an entirely new and distinct COM
mercial organization was formed.
"A freight bureau is what is needed.
When railroads realize they control
the freight coming to particular city
and leaving it, they will add to their
rates unless vigorous, determined and
aggressive efforts are made to prevent
the discrimination. A modern city
must be alive to it's own interests and
ready to protect them, if it does not
desire to see its trade diverted to some
other point. After mature elaboration
l am convinced that the membership
of the Board of Trade can be suffi-
GENTLY increased. and it's income cor
respondingly enlarged, to permit the
conduct of such a freight bureau as is
needed in Savannah"
While practically every business man
who expresses an opinion on the sub
ject agrees generally with Gen. Cor
don that some such institution is urg-
emily needed, no one seems prepared
to take the initiative in the movement,
and for this reason there appears to
exist a mournful danger that it will
die of lethargy.

THROWN by LOOSE BRICK.
Bicyclist Injured by Fall From His
Wheel on Drayton Street

Robert Robertson. while riding along
Drayton street on his bicycle yester-
day morning, struck a loose brick in
the roadway and was thrown violently
to the ground. At first it was thought
he was only bruised and shaken up,
but an examination showed that he
had broken an arm. He was removed
to his home. COL Park avenue. east, and
DR.. Stothart summoned. The broken
member was set and last night it was
stated that he was resting well, but
would be laid up for several days. This
is the second accident from the same
cause this week and a number of
wheelmen are complaining of the loose
bricks allowed in the street

WHERE FORTUNE BECKoNED.
Queer Games and Queer Players
Under the Stand at the ,Cue.

The funniest thing about the whole
cue was the gambling that went on
under the grandstand. 1t was of the
sort that used to delight the hearts of
the country people when the circus
came to town." and Rube, backed I'D
against the fence and with his mouth
open, spent his breath and ducats in
an effort to decide which shell covered
the pea.
This is possibly a slight exaggera-
ton, for, after all, the games were not
as strong as that which is played with
ball of elder pith and three half
shells. They We're strong, though. and
the bunch of good things that fell over
themselves in an effort to get around
the tables left them poorer, mayhap
wiser, but certainly not richer or hap
pier, men.
The easiest game apparently in the
choice collection that sought to entice
dollars from open pockets-and sue
ceeded, was the crap table. but bv a
seeming stroke of fate this was the one
that accumulated sheckels with the
most gratifying rapidity. 1t is prob
able that the members of the crowd
looking over the various shrines of the
goddess Fortune that the temple con-
tanned picked out craps as the easiest
the one most likely TO yield returns
upon the investment of a dollar and A

somebody had won something at the
crap table, but this could not be veri-

GAVE GOD NO GLORY.
hooker Washington the Golden Calf,
Says CoIOred Divine.

Says COIOred Divine.
Because Booker Washington was
made the god of the hour, and Goo
himself was left out of the perform
ance, is the reason assigned by Rev.
T. M. Williamson for the recent disas-
ter at the CoIored Baptist Convention
in Birmingham. Rev. Williamson
who was a delegate to the convention,
addressed his congregation last night at
the First African Baptist Church on
the cause of the calamity.
1T is my unalterable conviction,
said he in the course of his remarks,
that had they sung some hymn, Of
fered some prayer, or participated in
some kind of devotional service be-
fore hearing from Mr.. Washington,
this horrible disaster would never have
occurred. But, no, Booker Washing
ton had been made the god of the
hour, and God in heaven had been left
out. Then Gods anger burst and IS
souls were landed in eternity.
Apart from the matter of Gods
vengeance, if that woman had kept
her mouth shut, the stampede would
not have occurred" he said further.
THE men on the platform could have
stopped the fight, and harmony could
have been obtained. But she hollered
like the day of judgment was at hand.
She screamed Fight as loud as her
lungs would let her, and the people
thought she yelled Fire"
Rev. Williamson said that he was
forced to differ from the colored edu-
Gator on another point Washington
had said that the negro race seemed
to be a race that was always preparing
to die. This remark was occasioned
by the number of colored secret So
cieties, whose primary aim was to
bury the dead.
But scarcely had he rested well
from his speech, in which he repudiated
the position of the negro race in MAX
ing preparation to die, when the I'M
dertakers had plenty to do" said Rev.
Williamson

TENT IN DE SOTO COURT.
May Be Used for the Southern Bap
fist Convention.


Rev. DR.. J. d. Jordan, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, who was instru-
mental in securing the Southern Bap-
fist convention for Savannah, con-
tinues to plan for the coming of the
delegates of that organization. 1t is
expected that there will be an attend
ance of $500.
Rev. Mr.. Jordan has recently been
considering how to secure some place
that will be large enough to accom-
modate so large a crowd. He thinks
the problem will be solved by putting
a large tent in the court yard of the
De Soto, flush with the southern piaz-
"a, which could thus be used as the
stage or platform for the speakers.
He has mentioned this plan to the
proprietors of the De Soto and they
think well of it, but cannot give their
consent until the matter has been
brought to the consideration of the
Savannah Hotel Company, and posi-
bly,, also, to the insurance companies
carrying policies on the house.
