DANCERS WERE RESTRAINED.
Royal Music Hall Claims Perform
at the AIhnmbra.


Madam Glorine and Frederick Clark,
vaudeville performers, said to be ex-
perts, were last night restrained from
further appearing at Gildea's Alham-
bra Music Hail. A temporary restrain
ing order was secured by E. A. Mas
sart, proprietor of the Royal Music
Hall, rival place of amusement.
The papers were signed by Judge
Barrow at his home, where they were
taken by Mr.. w. F. Slater, represent
ing Massart, and were served upon
the performers at the Alhambra by
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeney. Glorine
and Clark had already done their
stunts and We're notified not to go on
the stage again until the prayer for
an injunction has been heard by Judge
Barrow. hearing was set for
O'Clock this afternoon.
Massart alleges that he made a con-
tract with the manager OF the team
for them to sing and dance in his
concert hall for two weeks, at $50
a week, and that he advertised their
coming extensively. He alleges that
they were to have opened last night
and that he was greatly surprised to
find that they were performing in Gill
IDEAS place. He alleges that the con-
tract with the manager of the per-
formers was made after considerable
correspondence. Massart relates in
his petition that the defendants were
to have performed services of peculiar
merit and character, which services
cannot be performed by others, as the
defendants are experts in their line:
that the defendants perform special
acts which are attracting and highly
entertaining, and that it is impossible
for the petitioner to engage the ser
vice of any one else to do the work &"
Glorine does an electrical dance and
performs other similar stunts with the
assistance of her partner. Different
from most vaudeville teams they have
had a manager with whom it is climed
Massart made a contract. Mr.. Gildea
claims to have made a contract with
the performers themselves. and is
borne out in his statement by the de-
PENDANTS in the injunction action. They
claim to have had no dealings of any
sort with Massart, and aver that their
contract was to perform at Gildea's
place. They say that they desire TO
carry out the contract made with the
proprietor of the Alhambra.

THROWN FROM FIRE TRUCK.
Driver w. n. Jones Ankle Broken
in Answering an Alarm.

While answering an alarm of fire
yesterday morning Driver w. B. Jones
of Hook and Ladder Company No. 2,
stationed on Barnard street, was
thrown from the apparatus and had
his left ankle broken. The accident
occurred at Hall and Barnard streets.
Besides breaking his leg, the fireman
was painfully bruised.
A blaze in the rear of No. 301 Hall
street, west, occupied by the Adams
Drug Company, caused the sending if
a telephone alarm to the station on
Barnard street. The truck answered
the call along with the other apparatus
and Driver Jones was in the seat.
When the effort was made to turn
into Hall street from Barnard the
wheels of the truck slid on the car
tracks, and the driver was thrown
violently to the ground. He made an
effort to climb back on the truck and
discovered that his right ankle had
been broken by the fall. DIR, Morri-
son was summoned and set the brok-
en- bone, after which the injured fire
man was removed, in the police am
bulance, to his home at No. POS Ander-
son street, west.
The fire destroyed a trash barrel
and burned the roof of a shoemaker's
shop in the rear of the drug store.
The blaze was started by hot ashes
being thrown in the barrel and the
flames communicated to the small
store before they were discovered. The
fire was extinguished with chemicals
without much damage. The services
of the truck company were not re-
quired, and that piece of apparatus
was taken back to the fire station
after the injury to Driver Jones.

CHOSE who Know Ne Knows Bet
ter" Was His Reply.
At meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Citizens Club, held last
night at No. III Broughton street,
west, Sheriff John Schwarz was called
upon to make some reply to Rev. Bas-
com Anthonys sermon at Trinity
Church Sunday night. This he did in
his own peculiar way.
Maj. Schwarz was told that he must
confine himself to the minister's at
tack on his travelling qualities. In his
sermon. Rev. Mr.. Anthony said: Il
would like to see a sheriff who was
better built for travelling than for sit
ting down, and who knew the differ
ence between a keno bank and the
banks of the Wabash, and who clearly
understood that a policy wheel was
not the same sort of a wheel as a BIZ
cycle"
Sheriff Schwarz arose with a Foxy
CUTLER air. He did not look on the
invitation to speak in a facetious way,
and was thoroughly serious in what
dnnlnrn6 hnf ha
was resident of Savannah forty years
before Rev. Mr.. Anthony reached here,
and said that he will be here when the
preacher is no longer heard of. Those
who know me know better" said the
major, and the members of the com
mittee shouted their approval. The
sheriff's brief reply was the most in
teresting incident of the meeting.
The meeting was called to order by
Col. Warning Russell, who announced
that a new chairman and secretary
would have to be elected. AS he un-
derstoOd it, there was to be no one
man power and the members of the
Executive Committee are to have full
power. A committee of three was APP
pointed to name officers, and the nomi-
nations made by the committee were
received with cheers. BY a unanimous
vote, Maj. j. Ferris Cam was elected
chairman, Mr.. David c. Barrow, vice
chairman, and Mr.. William NJ. David
son, secretary.
Several speeches were made, and the
work of looking after the registra-
ton was discussed at length 1t was
urged that this is the most important
thing to be done at this time. and
that there should be no talk of candi-
dates for some little while to come.
Reference was made to the opposition
and its Orpa MIA tiOn or the enaa X
ers termed it, alleged organization"
1t was decided to divide the Execu-
tive Committee into working commit
tees of twenty-five, each with chair
man. 1t will be the duty of each sub
committee to look after the district
assigned to it. and a thorough organi-
cation was effected before the meeting
adjourned. The committee decided to
meet Tuesday nights at headquarters
and to push the campaign until the
time for selecting candidates for coun-
ty offices.

CALLS HIM A DYSPEPTIC.
Mayor Said Rev. Bascom Anthony
Must Have Dined Too Well.

Mayor Said Rev. Bascom Anthony
Must Have Dined Too Well.
Rev. Bascom Anthony's Message to
the Citizens of Savannah" was widely
read yesterday, when it appeared in
the Morning News. His Phillipics ap-
pealed particularly to those about the
City Exchange, against whom they
were especially directed. They fur
nished a days sensation about the
exchange, affording a topic of CONVEX
sation that proved of sufficient inter-
est to absorb any idle moments that
could be found. Nobody seemed to be
particularly concerned about the SER
mon. and it was discussed rather in
spirit of amusement, than of alarm.
Some little interest was injected into
the discussions by the speculations of
employees and officials, as to who may
have been aimed at by the minister in
some of his denunciations.
Mayor Myers was asked how he had
been impressed by the preachers mes
sage"
"Well,' said the Mayor, at seems
to me that Mr.. Anthony must have
eaten an unusually good dinner, and,
being dyspeptic, it did not agree
with him"
Further than this the. Mayor would
make no reply. 1t was not the first
time that Mr.. Anthony has made him
the object of the outpourings of
his condemnation from the pulpit, and
A. would seem that the Mayor has
grown bit accustomed to it,

WON'T TURN BILLS DOWN.
Mayor Will Approve Those Submit
ted by Chairman Dafin.

Somebody said yesterday that it had
been suggested to the Mayor that it
was improper for him to continue to
approve bills for expenses incurred by
Chairman P. d. Daffin of the Park
and Tree Commission. in view of the
alleged fact that Mr.. Daffin has not
been legally elected chairman. The
Mayor was asked if he expected TO
pursue such course. He replied:
mo. 1 do not. l was quoted in the
Morning News to-day as intending to
take no action in the case. as / think
II is with the members of the commits
sion to do as they may see fit. Hon.
estly and justly incurred expense will
still be met by the city, whether Mr..
Daffin or some other chairman of the
commission testities that the bills are
correct"
Mr.. Daffin was seen about the report.
The question was the first intimation
he had received that il was possible
that the Mayor would adopt such a
course. He seemed to be quite fully
persuaded in his own mind that the
Mayor would not proceed so far.
