GOING To PHILIPPINES
FATHER HALPIN TO LEAVE sA-
vANNAH FOR THE ORIENT OCT. g.
SENT BY BISHOP FARLEY.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE COMPLETED
HIS PLANS IN NEW YORK YES
TERDAY.

Nature of Duties He. VIII Take Up
Not Known In savannah-Discuss-
ed His Plans I'm Part with Friends
i'm Savannah But Gave No Details.
Has Been Connected With Parish
of Cathedral of st. John the Bap-
fist for Several Months-FOrmerIy
Member of Society of Jesus and
Its Colleges.
Rev. Father p. A. Halpin, for THE
past several months connected with
the parish of the Cathedral of ST. John
the Baptist will probably resign his
place here to go to the Philippines
Father Halpin is now in New York,
where he went last Wednesday for
the purpose of concentrating his ar
rangements, and this he has evidently
done to his satisfaction, as he wired a
friend in Savannah yesterday morning
that he will return to Savannah Tues
day, but will leave again Oct for
Vancouver. 1t is probable that he will
take the steamer from there for the
Philippines via Japan.
Father Halpin's loss to the church
in this city and state will be a most
distinct one, as he is a man of recog-
nized ability and experience, both in
teaching and preaching. For the great
er part of his life he was a member
of the Society of Jesus, and as such
has been connected with many of he
principal seats of that order in Euro
pean countries. After coming to
America he was for many years con-
nected with st. Johns College, Ford
ham, n. Y, and also with st. Francis
Xavier. New York city, at the latter
holding for many years the chair of
philosophy and rhetoric.
Shortly after coming to Savannah he
was transferred from the Society of
Jesus to the secular priesthood and be-
came an active worker in the parish
of the Cathedral Before leaving for
New York he discussed his prospective
plans with few friends here. but his
plans We're not generally known and
are now made public for the first
time. The exact nature of Father
Halpin's services I'm the Philippines is
not known.

FOR COLORED COLLEGE.
Educational Rally to BE Held
Wednesday Night.

Educational Rally to he Held
Wednesday Night.
The work which the Georgia State
Industrial College is doing for the coll
ored people of the state is widely
known and appreciated. More than
score of boys who would perhaps be
loafing the streets of Savannah. with
nothing to do, have during this past
summer been usefully engaged as
bricklayers, carpenters, painters and
shoemakers because of the fact that
they have received this training at
the Georgia State Industrial College.
The same thing is true of many coll
oreA boys from this school in other
parts of the state.
In fact, since the beginning of the
State College over a thousand boys
have received something of an educa-
ton and trade at this very useful
school. President Wright and his corps
of teachers have put forth every ef-
fort to make 1t one of the best in the
state. They have not one-tenth of the
money which is expended upon the
Booker Washington school at Tuske-
gee, nor have they anything like the
equipments, and yet each year they
are sending forth a large number of
young men well equipped for useful
work among their race; nor is the
Georgia school as well advertised as
the Alabama school. If they had the
money and equipment the school would
be the equal of the best negro schools
in the country.
President Wright has been travelling
over the state, calling the attention
of the people to the college and has
decided to hold an educational mass
meeting in it's interest at the First
African Baptist Church, Franklin
Square, Rev. ]. w. Carr, d. D., pas
tor next Wednesday night, Sept 3, at
s o'clock. All the leading colored min
listers have promised to be present

Kemp and j. r. Simms.
Superintendent of Public Schools
Ashmore has been invited to be pres
ent. Col. Meldrim is also expected to
be present, If he is in the city. The
school last year held a very large con-
ference of farmers and had also
large gathering of the teachers of the
state. Its enrolment reached nearly
700, and graduated the largest class
in the history of the school, This
coming year 1t proposes to make
great deal of it's agricultural work
President Wright will explain to the
people the advantages of the State
College.

CRUSHED To DEATH
sEABoARD swITcHMAN RUN OVER
BY TWO CARS.
WAS ADJUSTING A COUPLER.
WHEN LOCOMOTIVE BACKED INTO
THE TRAIN.

w. w. Anderson of Reeds Crossing
Knocked Under the Wheels and
MRngIed-Taken to the Savannah
Hospital, Where He Died in
short Time--His Remains Await
ing His Relatives, who Live Near
MilIedgeville.
Caught between cars which he was
coupling in the Seaboard Air Linz
yards near the Augusta road, w. W.
Anderson, an employee of the road was
fatally injured yesterday morning be-
tween and o'clock, and died an
hour afterward in the Savannah Hos
pital, where he was removed in the
ambulance.
The accident was one of those that
are common in the life of the railroad
man. Anderson, who was a yard
switchman, was helping make up d
train of cars. coupling and uncoupling
them as required. At the time he was
crushed, he had gone between two cars
to adjust the "knuckle" of an auto
matte coupler and while there the en-
CINE at the rear of the train, butted
against it. and threw him down, the
wheels of two of the cars passing over
lis right leg and arm.
The engine was stopped and several
train hands ran to the PROSTATE man
and lifted him up. 1t was seen at
once that he was badly injured and
call was sent to the police barracks
for an ambulance. All that his COM
rades could do meantime was done,
but their efforts to stop the flow of
blood were in vain. The shock, added
to the loss of blood, made his case
hopeless. This right arm and thumb
of the right hand, and bone of the
right thigh were crushed. By the
time the ambulance arrived at the
hospital the floor covering was COW
cred with blood. The injured man died
soon after being removed from the
ambulance.
Mr.. Anderson was not a native of
Savannah and it is not known .wheth-
er he was married or not. He came
here from Reedy's Crossing, Ga. The
remains were still at the hospital last
night awaiting advices from relatives
living near Milledgeville.

SNAP SHOTS AT THE RANGE.
Markers in the Pits Did Their Work
Well During Matches.

Well During Matches.
The markers in the pits have no
easy time of it during matches. On
the whole, they did their work we'll
Complaints were made about some OF
them, but in the majority of instances
the faults were not the markers, but
the marksmen's. Colored men did the
marking, but at each range there was
a white man who had supervision over
them.
Among the score boys there were
several who soon caught on to their
work Others never did learn it well.
Some, too, were more inclined to play
than work. Capt. Austin will remem-
Der those who rendered the best serv-
ice, and they will be secured for flu
ture matches.
After one of the matches a member
of one of the teams was deploring his
poor score on the skirmish. Talking it
ever with his sister, who enjoys watch
ing the practice and sometimes visits
the range, he said he had done very
well at the known distances. but had
fallen down" on the skirmish.
They all do that" said his sister.
He did not think this at all consol-
ing. "They don't do any such thing
was his reply.
why, they do; I've seen them" the
young lady replied.
Thereupon the marksman under
stood. He gave her such a plying
smile as a brother can. For the bene-
fit of ladies who may not know as
much about rife shooting as did the
young lady, it may be explained that,
on the skirmish, the marksmen, on
hating, fall quickly to the ground, fir
ing from the prone position.
The First Regiment band did not
give it's concert at the range yester-
day morning, as was intended. The
band put in it's appearance, but there
we're so few to hear it that it did not
remain, but took the first car back for
the city.

word in the protocol had been changed
by the Gillian minister of foreign af-
fairs. &
Minister Portela signed the protocol,
believing the document to be an ex-
act copy of that recorded by both
governments. He is now claiming
modification of that word, and has de-
clared if Chill does not accept that
modification he will leave Santiago
and annul all that has been done.
New York, Dec. 2s.-Although pro-
tocol has been signed settling the
controversy between Argentine and
Chilli the Argentine minister of war

serves into active duty, says the
Buenos Ayres correspondent of the
Herald. The newspapers announce
that hostile demonstrations are likely
to take place Friday night when the
protocol is published.
