SAVANNAH WON'T GIVE UP.
VIII StiII Try for the Sub-Treasur,
Sought Last Spring.

y
Sought Last Spring.
The information from Washington,
conveyed by a dispatch in the Morn
ing News yesterday, that Atlanta is
again making efforts to secure a sub
treasury, was no surprise to those in
Savannah who have been interesting
themselves in an effort to obtain such
an institution for this city.
Savannah is not doing anything in
the matter just now" said Mayor
Myers, when seen. "but it will at the
proper time. We expect that the mat
ter of sub-treasury for this section
will come up at the next session of
Congress. Nothing was done about 1t
at the last session, and do not know
what the final outcome of the efforts
of the two cities will be- We have not
given up, but will continue the fight"
The Mayor was the head of the dele
cation that went to Washington last
spring to press Savannah's claims for
a sub-treasury before the Ways and
Means Committee

He ATTEMPTED TO SHOOT.
COIored Man Tried to Use IA Gun
i'm a Row in Wuldburg Lane.


Yesterday was the quietest Sunday
that the police have had for many
weeks. A week ago the number of
arrests was almost record breaking,
and since then they have been on the
decrease. OF the, cases on the docket
none is of any importance, and in ev-
cry case but one or two all are drunk
and disorderlies.
The exception was the case of Willie
Erwin, colored, charged with attempt
ing to shoot Dave Crittenden, in a
three cornered disagreement in VALID
burg lane, west He was arrested by
Detective Stark One of the other
participants, Percy Mangram, was also
sent to the barracks on a charge of
disorderly conduct and cursing.
There were the usual big Sunday
crowds at the depots, mostly colored
people, and the special officers had
their hands full in keeping order. Of
ficer Malphus at the Union Station
made three arrests for disorderly con-
duct, one of whom was white man,
Antonio Nicholas. The others were
Willie Smith and Hampton Harris.
officer M. Davis has arrested at the
request of the Burke county authori-
ties King Ellison, colored, wanted
there for a minor offense and for
whom a small reward was offered. He
is now locked UP awaiting the arrival
of a deputy to take him back to
Burke.
In the later part of the night Hester
Ryan was arrested for assaulting and
beating Celia Allen in her house. She
was locked up.

BEFORE ADMIRING HUNDREDS.
Aeronnut Phillips Made Another
Successful Ascension at Casino.

Aeronnut Phillips Made Another
Successful Ascension at Casino.
The Casino balloon again scared sky
ward yesterday, to the delight of a
thousand or more spectators, many Of
whom are strangers to the city and
who had visited the grounds for the
express purpose of seeing Aeronaut
Phillips Go his startling stunt in mid
air.
The Casino hoodoo seems to have
fed, for the big bag was inflated with
out any trouble whatever, and went
up without single hitch. There was
but little wind, so it sailed almost
straight up to a hight of between $500
and 5000 feet and then it drifted slow
ly liz the direction of the city, The
while Phillips hung by his knees and
did other perilous feats.
After he had been up for five min
utes or SO he cut loose and made a
successful descent, landing in the
woods to the rear of the Casino. The
bag turned turtle and followed him
down shortly afterward.

AFTER UNCLE SANS REWARD.
II. F. johnson of Liberty City Says
He Alone Captured Howell Price.

ne Alone Captured HoWeH Price.
There is likely to be lively compe-
tition for the reward for the arrest of
Howell S. Price, the Liberty city mail
robber. There is a reward running
there is a probability that there will
be at least two competitors for the
prize
Thomas F. Johnston, who brought
Price to Savannah. says he has al
ready filed his claim for it.
c. J. Mcdonald of Liberty City, at
which store Johnston says he arrested
Price, claims that John NJ. Sullivan
and himself while on their way from
Savannah to Liberty city last Thurs
day saw Price at Walthourville, and
that Sullivan got off the train and
carried him to McDonald's store and
turned him over to his father, and
that he was searched there by Sulli-
van, Prices father, ]. T. Gill and Nc
Donald himself, who kept him
sometime in custody and then turned
him over to Johnston, who said, ac-
cording to Mcdonald, that he had been
authorized to take Price in charge.
Johnston telephoned the Morning
News yesterday from Liberty City
that he arrested Price at McDonald's
store and brought him to Savannah,
that he found the mail pouch in the
woods about two miles from Liberty
City, that Price had never been ar
rested by any one else. and that he
alone is entitled to the reward for
his capture. In the meantime Price
and Sullivan are both in Jail. Sullivan
will be given a hearing before Com
missioner Ryals tomorrow afternoon.

Recently a party from the embas

Recently party from the embas-
sizes at Constantinople went to inspect
the International life service on the
Black Sea coast. At one of the life
saving stations, says the London Tele-
graph, they thought they would like
to test the conditions of lifeboat work.
So. clothing themselves in bathing cos
TUNES and cork jackets. they each
took an oar in a lifeboat, to the huge
delight of the Turkish boatmen. One
of the secretaries of The British en-
bassy is never seen without an eye
glass. and is said even to sleep with
1t. On this occasion he was faithful
to his glass and solemnly embarked
in a cork jacket and eyeglass. All
the proper exercises were gone
through, and finally the boat was cap
sized and rlghted again by It's own
crew. A. they crept out from under
the eapsiged boat a howl Of surprise
came from the Turks. for the secre-
tary's head appeared with the eye
glass frmly fixed in its proper posi-
ton, It's owner taking II as a matter

BIG CROWD AT TYBEE.
Many Visitors, Despite the Approach
of the Seasons END.

Many Visitors, Despite the Approach
of the Seasons End.
Though the end of the Tybee season
is approaching, a big business is done
every Sunday by the Tybee Railroad.
Yesterday was no exception to the
rule. On the contrary, 1t verified it.
There were 100 visitors to the island.
Superintendent Clement Saussy was
elated, as it is not always the case
that so large a crowd visits the island
ON a Sunday so late in the season. He
is looking forward to next Sunday, the
last of the season, to show good
business. The season closes on Sept
l, Labor Day. after which the present
schedule of six trains each way day
will be reduced to three trains each
way.
The business of yesterday was made
up principally of exoursionists. The
Central Railway alone brought in LOO
excursionists, and the Seaboard Air
Line and the Southern Railway also
brought in number. The proportion
of Savannahians who visited the island
was small.
So large was the crowd of excursion
lists, who wanted to get back to the
city in time to catch early evening
trains for home, that a second section
of the train leaving the island at sos
o'clock had to be operated. The first
section had $50 passengers, and the
second had 500.
The business done by the Tybee Rail-
road this season will probably differ
but little from that of last year. May,
this year, showed up stronger than
last, but there was a falling off dur
ing June and July this year. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the August
business this year will serve to coun-
teract the diminution of June and.July.

RELIGION THAT COUNTS.

worth Methodist Church.
Rev. ]. A. Smith, pastor of Epworth
Methodist Church preached an inter-
esting sermon yesterday morning, on
Religion that Costs Develops The In
dividual." His text was drawn from
1 chronicles XXI: "a But 1 will verify
buy it for the full price: for | will not
take that WHICH is thine for the Lord,
nor offer burnt offerings without
cost"
In the course of his sermon Mr..
Smith said: abraham became the
father of the faithful only after years
of trial and hardship; Moses became
the worlds lawgiver only after he
had separated himself from the pleas
ures of Egypt. and Paul, the great
apostle to the gentiles. became so be-
cause he counted not his life good ex-

CROWDS OF VISITORS.

Awaited Themselves of the Cheap
Rates to Visit Savannah.
AS the Sunday excursion season
draws to a close the crowds get larger,
the people along the routes seeming
to wish to avail themselves of the last
opportunity.
The Central trains from the Au-
gusta and Macon lines yesterday came
in packed, the colored people being in
great numbers. The Augusta train
proper consisted of ten coaches, and
to it there had been added half a doZ-
en- on the way down. Most of these,
as well as those who came in from
Macon, went to Tybee, but many of the
colored visitors did not at any time
get far from the depot which was
black with people until after the reg
ular night train had pulled out.
