Iish the Home "a Little over $4,000.
subscriptions Are Being Received
by the Ministers Nearly Every
Day-A General Canvass TO BE Made
Later On-The Board to Be An
nounced as Soon as II Is Complete.
A meeting of the ministers interested
in the Florence Crittenton Mission
Home for fallen women was held in
the study of Rev. Ed. F. Cook yester-
day morning. Nine laymen were Sc
lected as members of a board of con-
troll, and sixteen ladies who will be
subdivided into the committees neces-
sary for taking care of the different
branches of the institution. AS the
persons selected have not yet been no
tilted that they have been chosen, and
as it is therefore not certain that they
will serve, their names can not be made
public.
The ministers interested in the move
ment for the home continue to receive
subscriptions, though no general can
ass mas yet OCGl nc
amount already secured for the pro-
ject is little over $500.
Another matter that came before the
meeting yesterday was the disposition
Of the Tabernacle. A house for it's re-
ception is now being built in the yard
of Messrs. Reppard, Snedeker & Co.,
and there the material will be stored
so soon as the house is completed. The
work of taking the benches apart was
begun yesterday. Since the close of
the union meetings the ministers have
begun street canvass to raise the money
that the Tabernacle cost, $1,OSO. Of
this amount about $S55 has been Sc
cured.

CRAzED, THEN KILLED HIM.
james Richards, Victim of Unjust
Charge, in the County Jail.

James Richards, Victim of Unjust
Charge, in the County Jail.
James Richards, a negro so years old,
who for the last several weeks has
been confined as lunatic in the coun-
ty Jail, died there yesterday morning.
His death terminates a humble life
that in its latter days was filled with
the grief and sadness of an unmerited
wrong.
Richards was of the old regime, hon
est, faithful, industrious, respectful and
respectable. with a sense of honor he
had imbibed from his old masters, that
was as dear to him as the breath of
his nostrils. For years he lived in Sa-
Vannah, working faithfully for a hum
BILE livelihood, enjoying the respect of
everyone with whom he was thrown in
contact. No man of his race in Sa-
Vannah had more entirely or deserved
more absolutely the confidence of his
employer.
Then came the beginning of his dis
asters. His old employer went out of
business and Richards, advanced in
years and with the sturdy Vigor he had
once enjoyed much impaired, found it
difficult to secure work. He found it
at last, however, and within a brief
period, when somebody about the place
began to steal, Richards was accused
of the theft.
The accusation went to the old mans
heart like the thrust of a knife. There
was no evidence against him save APP
pearances, but when he protested his
innocence and pointed to his long life
of honorable labor as a refutation of
the charge, his protestations fell on
deaf ears. He was told that appear
ances were against him, and that if
he were not the thief the way to clear
himself was TO detect and cause the
arrest of the guilty party. 1t was
hopeless task for the old man, stag
gering under the weight of years and
this unfounded accusation, and very
sadly and despondently he went his
way.
The accusation preyed upon his mind.
The unfounded charge seemed to him
to be known and believed by every
man; it assumed proportions that ex-
Guided every other consideration; it be-
came the one controlling, absorbing,
maddening thought of his life; finally
it drove him mad.
For time his relatives managed to
care for him, but he became at last so
violent in his madness that it was nee
essary, as well for his protection as
for theirs, to have him committed to
jail.
Throughout the long days and nights
that followed he lay upon his back on
the stone floor of his cell, ceaselessly
endeavoring to plat into some new
shape the strands of his hammock rope.
He scarcely slept; he could be induced
to take but little nourishment In the
early hours of yesterday morning, at
the time when. it is said, human life
is at it's ebb, the old mans troubled
days were ended. His body was re-
moved from the Jail by his friends ana,
with such simple rites as are suited to
what was his station in life, it will be
committed to earth

JUDGES OF THE DRILL.
Plan That VIII Add to the Interest
of Spectators.


Capt. w. NJ. Cruikshank, Lieut.. c. M
Bunker and Lieut.. E. l.. Gilmer will be
the regular army officers from Fort
Screven who will be the judges of the
regimental drill to be held next Mon
day night at the Guards Hall. Capt
Crmkshank and Lieut.. Bunker are
away on leave. but are expected back
to-day or tomorrow.
a plan has been devised that will add
greatly to the interest of the specta-
tors in the drill This is a system for
numbering the twenty-four or twenty
eight men who may be in line, with
corresponding numbers, showing their
names and companies, on the backs of
the dance programmes. This would
enable the spectators to tell just who
the men are as they fall out of line
because Of the commission of errors.
A further plan will be to use a dis
tinctive terminal number for each
company's men. The Emmett Rifles,
for instance, might have the number
''2'' to designate their men, who would
be numbered. respectively, 80" ~,
''22," and "32." The Oglethorpe Light
Infantry's men might be numbered.
respectively, 49," 10" "23," and "S3
This plan would enable those watching
the drill to tell just how each COM
pany might be faring.

TAKEN ILL ON A TRAIN.
Woman Refused Admfttnnce to Hos
pitaI without Certificate.


An aged white woman, whose iden-
tity could not be learned, was taken
to the Savannah Hospital yesterday in
the police ambulance. after having
once been refused admission. She APP
peared to be suffering a great deal and
was unable to give her name.
The woman was taken i'll on a Cen
trail Railway train on her way from
Millen to Brunswick. She carried sew
eral bundles, but had nothing on her
person whereby she could be identified
Upon her arrival at the Central depot
the ambulance was telephoned for by
the patrolman on duty and the wo-
man was taken to the Savannah Hos
pital.
Being a stranger and the ambulance
driver not having a physicians certifi-
cate, the patient was refused admis-
sion and was taken to police head
quarters. DR.. w. F. Drummer health
officer, was at the station house when
the ambulance returned with the wo-
man. When DR.. Drummer saw her con-
dition and learned what had happened
he furnished a certificate that secured
for her prompt attention at the hos
pital. It was stated at the hospital
last night that the woman had not yet
been able to give her name.

SHOT THROUGH THE MOUTH.
Mill Superintendent Fired at Negro
Who Moved to Draw "A Pistol.

Who Moved to Draw "a Pistol.
Henry Black, colored, was shot
yesterday morning by Pat Keaney,
night superintendent of the Militia
ven Company, but will recover. The
bullet entered the negro's mouth and
passed through the cheek, making a
painful although not dangerous wound.
Black provoked the difficulty and be-
sides cursing the superintendent in vile
language, made motion as if to draw
a revolver. 1t was at this time that
Keaney pulled his own weapon and
fired the shot that took all the fight
out of Black. The wounded negro went
to his home a short distance from the
company's mills and later sent word
that he was sorry for what had hap
pened, that he had provoked the diff
Guilty, and that he had no desire to
prosecute the superintendent.
The shooting occurred during the
early morning and was investigated
by Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny and
other deputies as soon as a report was
made in the city. Black had been en-
ployed at the mills and was discharged.
Later he returned to Supt. Keaney and
demanded the sum due him. The ne
81 . ioHS uaSc anu manner were polH
offensive and Keaney told him that he
would have to call when the business
force went to work at o'clock. Black
declared that he would do nothing of
the sort and announced that he pro-
posed to get his money from Keaney
The use of vile language and the mo-
ton as if to draw a weapon were fol-
lowed by the actual shooting. In the
face of the facts and the statement
of the negro himself. no arrest was
made by the county officers.

FIREWORKS AND FLOATS.
south Side Clubs Elaborate Plan for
Electrical Parade.

With fireworks and electrical floats
the South Side Administration Club
will march to the Theater- tomorrow
night to take part in the rally of the
Citizens Club, when the clubs candi-
dates will be placed in nomination.
A business meeting of the club was
held last night and the various COM
mittees under Chief Committeeman ].
Robert Dreamer reported that every
thing is in shape for the elaborate pa
rade. Some novel floats and banners
are promised by the South Side Club
and colored lights and fireworks will
keep the line of march Illuminated.
Mr. Dreamer, who has been partic-
ularly active as chairman of the va
rious committees, will be chief mar
shall He was elected al the meeting
and announced that he would walk at
the head of the procession. Twenty
sub-narshals were elected and four of
them will ride on white horses at the
head OF the procession. President John
+. Glatigney will ride in a carriage
with Secretary L. K. Meldrim. Joseph
Zealey, the smallest voter in Chatham
county and the mascot of the South
Side Club. will also be in line on horse
back. The club has a membership of
over 500 and personal invitations have
been extended to each member to turn
out in the parade.
While the South Siders are not yet
ready to tell just what they are going
to have. the first float will be an cleo
trical affair called the Float of All
Nations" 1t will bear appropriate in
scriptions, and will carry living repre-
sentatives of every nation. Another
electrical float will be one labeled Our
Constituents from over Home" and
carrying banners. The last electrical
float will be a platform from which a
speaker will have something to say.
All of those on the floats will be pro-
vided with megaphones, and there will
be as much noise as light.
1t has been the custom of the South
Side organization to march out Drayton
street to CASTOR, but because of a per-
sonal appeal to Marshall Dreamer from
Mrs. P M. Russell, it was decided last
night to change the line of march. Mr..
Russell is too i'll to leave his home at
CASTOR and Jefferson streets, and his
wife urged the South Siders to arrange
so that the parade pass under the win
dow of the invalid's home. The process
sion will start at headquarters at
Kiser's Hall at Bull and Thirty-fr
streets, move down Bull street to Hen
ry to Jefferson, to CASTOR. to Bull, and
around the right of the squares to the
theater, where the club will take part
in the rally.

TO END CUT RATE WAR.
druggists to ReOrganixe Their AssO-
citation for That Purpose.

The annual meeting of the Georgia
Pharmaceutical Association, which
this year was held in Brunswick, was
closed last night, and those who at
tended from Savannah are expected
home this morning.
A meeting of even greater Importance
than the one in Brunswick will be held
in Savannah to-day. for an organizer
of the National Association of Retail
Druggists will be in the city and will
call a meeting of the local association
for the purpose of recognizing it and
of putting an end to the cut rate war
that has been waged here for the past
few weeks.
One of the druggists, speaking of
this matter yesterday, said he has no
doubt that the organizer will find all
the local dealers ready for any sort
of measure that will put an end to
this cute rate war, as everyone that
has been involved in it is he@Stily tired
of it.

MUSIC AT THE YACHT CLUB.
Afternoon and Night Concerts to be-
gin Tomorrow.

Afternoon and Night Concerts to BE-
gin Tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon the Yacht Club
will begin what it is hoped will con-
tinue through the summer-an after
noon and evening of music in the club
house and grounds. From 4:30 to 1880
o'clock Middleton's brass band of
twenty pieces will play on the lawn,
and from 8 o'clock until II o'clock a
string band will play on the club house
piazza for dancing. The House Com
mittee has also arranged for refresh
ments to be served during the after
noon and evening.
There is a desire among large num-
Der of the members of the club that
instead of a regatta the money an
nually spent in that way be devoted
to music and afternoon and evening
entertainments during the summer. 1t
is believed that this would afford en-
tertainment for a larger number of
members and would add to the popu-
larity of the club. The board of stew
arts will consider the matter, and it is
believed it will decide on a continuance
of the concerts during the summer.
