SALVATION ARMY'S
CHRISTMAS DINNER

The Salvation Army spent Christmas
uting baskets packed with material
for those who had means of cooking
their dinner, and by the distribution
of a prepared dinner, at the army
hall on State street, near Whitaker
to the homeless and those who did not
have the means of procuring a meal
Between and 10 o'clock in the morn
ing the army distributed baskets to
between forty and fifty families. From
then on until dinner every hand was
turned to making ready for the din
ner to be served, which the army had
been preparing until after midnight
the night before, and arranging the
covers for the 100 guests they were
prepared to serve at a sitting. Before
the dinner hour those who elected to
partake of the army's hospitality be-
gan to arrive, and when Capt Wood
said grace every seat was filled at the
two long rows of tables, and every one
present seemed to be thoroughly in
sympathy with the occasion.
Between $50 and 200 people were
served, and made happy at the heav-
lily laden and we'll served board. and
every one present had a good word and
a heartfelt gratitude for the enjoyment
the persistent efforts of the army had
made possible for them.
The entire distribution both of the
basket dinners and the prepared
spread, was a success, and those who
viewed the preparations were loud in
their praise. The hall was tastefully
decorated with evergreen and holly.
and the artful arrangement of the gen
eral details were generally commented
upon.

ONLY TWO ESCAPED.
Those Who Shot Fireworks Had to
Pay for the Fun.

Those Who Shot Fireworks Had to
Pay for the Fun.
Because he had issued several warn
ings Recorder Myrick in Police Court
yesterday was not lenient with those
who had violated the ordinance by
shooting fireworks north of Liberty
street. Only two defendants were dis
missed while nine were fined from 81
to So each.
A negro from the Ogeechee district
was given his freedom because he de-
clared that he had not thought that
ne was doing wrong. He was arrested
for shooting a torpedo stick on
Broughton street, and went into court
with the stick as evidence. He had
seen hundreds of persons do the same
thing, and had no idea that he would
be arrested. The country darkey agreed
to destroy the stick in the presence of
patrolman after which he was al
lowed to go.
A diminutive coon was given MS
freedom because ne frankly confessed
his guilt when there was no one to
appear against him. The boy was cred
tied to an officer who declared that he
had not made the arrest. The Recorder
tried in vain to find some patrolman
who had sent the boy to the station
house, and the juvenile announced Of
his own accord that while he did not
know who had arrested him he was
guilty of the offense charged. The
truth was refreshing, and upon the
promise that he would not repeat the
performance, he was allowed to go.

SIXTY-FIVE ARRESTS
THERE WERE VERY FEW SERIOUS
AI'FRAYs, HOWEVER.
POLICE WERE PoWERLESS
WHEN 1T CAME TO INFORCING
FIREWORKS ORDINANCE

Roman Candles and Cannon Crack
crs set on North of Liberty street
and Officers Were Unable to stop
It-At an Early Hour This Morn
ing Sixty-fiVe Arrests Had Been
Made, or Six More Than Were Ar
West Side Was Rowdy and Saloons
Had 10 Close.
There was more disorder in Savan-
nah yesterday than there was on
Christmas Eve, bur none of the affrays
were of a very serious nature, and
nothing bordering on a tragedy hat
come to light at an early hour this
morning.
At O'Clock the police blotter con-
tanned the names of sixty-five prison
ers and the station house was taxed to
its utmost capacity. Three or four
prisoners had to be placed in one cell
and the officers had their hands full in
keeping things straight. Most of the
disorder occurred during the afternoon
and early evening and after midnight
only the occasional explosion of a can
non cracker was to be heard.
Those who had been celebrating were
worn out and turned in for a nights
rest at a fairly respectable hour. The
officers had feared that there would
be trouble on the West Side and the
city detectives remained at headquar-
tiers until after l o'clock this morning
H.. h. f1aNn.-
oughly fatigued and will begin on reg
ular hours to-day.
During the afternoon it looked as if
there was going to be serious trouble
on the West Side. Frogtown was par
ticularly diSOrderly and many of the
bars in the vicinity of the Union Sta
Iion were forced to close for their own
protection. No disorder of any sort
was reported from the East Side, and
FrogtOwn carried off the honor of be-
ing the most disorderly section of the
city or Christmas Day.
The police found it impossible at
night to inforce the ordinances regulat-
ing the shooting of fireworks. Roman
candles and cannon crackers were ex-
ploded north of Liberty street in al
most every block. and yet the police
were powerless, A force of several
hundred men could not have prevented
the violation complained Of
Frequent complaint on this line was
heard at police headquarters and in
instances when men were sent out they
returned with the information that
crackers had been exploded under their
very feet without their being able to
stop it or make an arrest. Only nine
persons will answer to the Recorder
this morning for shooting fireworks
north of Liberty street, although sew
eral hundred persons committed the
offense. Bonfires were built in several
of the squares, but whenever possible
were extinguished by the police.

VISITED THE SHERIFF.
Mai. Schwarz Presented n Walk
ing stick and Umbrella.


ing stick and Umbrella.
Sheriff John Schwarz was compli-
mented yesterday by a visit from those
connected with his office and several of
the Court House officials. Maj
Schwarz expected the delegation, but
was surprised at a presentation that
was made to him by his visitors.
\ handsome silver-mounted walking
stick and an umbrella were given to
Maj. Schwarz as a token of esteem and
appreciation. J. w. Thomas, Esq, was
the spokesman for the delegation of
county officers. Mr.. Thomas said
that it was with pleasure that ne pre-
scented the stick and umbrella to the
high sheriff of the county. He spoke
of Maj. Schwarz's faithful service to
the county and of his fidelity. His
long career as a public officer was gone
over and in an appropriate and fitting
manner Sheriff SchWarZ responded.
He appeared to have been touched
by the words of Mr.. Thomas and was
unable for a minute to control his feel
ings. His response, however, was
timely. Coroner j. G. Keller, Chief
Deputy Sweeney, Deputy OConnOr and
Mr.. Marion Lucas all had pleasant
things to say about Maj. Schwarz and
his office. Toasts were drunk to
Judge Barrow, to Solicitor General Os-
borne and to the press.

DESPERATE RAN AMUCK.
Made Things Lively in Yamacrays'
and Shot at BY officers.

The police learned early yesterday
morning the particulars of the shoot
ing ARRAY in Yamacraw that had been
reported without names at headquar-
tiers the night before. At the same time
Patrolmen Cowart and Bryant located
the negro who did the shooting and
emptied their revolvers at him.
The man made his escape, however
and the officers have been unable to
learn his identity. He ran amuck in
Yamacraw for more than an hour with
out encountering the police. Under the
influence of liquor and armed with two
revolvers he declared that he was
wild Bill' and caused CONSERVATION
in every place he visited.
Ee was thrown out of the place of
Doc Owens, colored, but a few min
utes later shot that individual through
a window. Later the drunken desper-
ado cleaned out a cook shop. He was
finally located near zubly and ST.
Gaul streets and it was at that point
that the officers tried to shoot him.
Owens is not dangerously wounded

SHOT WHILE SITTING
NEAR A WINDOW.

An unusual accident and one which
seemingly Providence alone prevented
being a serious one, occurred yesterday
at noon on Liberty street, east. A lady
while sitting at a window in a rear
room on the second floor, was struck in
the hip by a stray pistol bullet, which
had entered through the front window
on Liberty street, and passed
through the open door between the
front and rear rooms. The wound is
only a flesh one and not serious, solely
though, because of the part of the body
the bullet struck, for its force had not
been spent
No one in the house or nearby
saw the shot fired or heard the
report 1t could have been fired from
the north side of Liberty street or from
Perry lane, and close investiga
ton leads to this belief, as there is no
building on the north side of the street
opposite the window through which the
bullet entered. For a bullet to enter a
window pass through the partition
doorway and strike person In the hip
who was sitting in a chair, it must have
been fired from an elevation or from a
good distance.

Answering Calls Caused by Fire
VvOrks-Losscs Were Light
The fire department was kept busy
yesterday and last night, but by
prompt and efficient work Superintend-
ent Mcguire and his men were able to
handle each and every blaze with but
the lightest possible loss. As is usual
on national holidays the fire cracker,
roman candle and skyrocket were the
cause of it all, except in one case, and
that was a defective flue with no dam
age resulting. The most of the re-
sponses were to telephone alarm, but
two general alarms being sounded.
The work started at Hos O'Clock
when chemical No. l went to the house
No. 21S Liberty street, west, occupied
by F. A. Exley, where a defective tiue
was giving trouble, though the same
had been remedied before the firemen
arrived and their services were unnec-
essary.
At 1:17 O'Clock engine No. went to
Thirty-sixth and Barnard streets,
where a brush pile was on fire, set by
a cannon cracker.
Chemical Company No. 1 went out
again at 3:15 o'clock to the residence
of Col Beirne Gordon, No. II Ogle-
thorpe avenue, west, where the roof of
a wood shed was on fire. The blaze
was extinguished with small loss.
At $3.50 O'Clock Hose Company No.
was called out to fire in the grass on
East Bolton street, near Habersham,
and which was threatening damage to
fence and other property.
Another grass fire at the foot of East
Taylor street, in the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway yard called Chemical No.
into service during the afternoon. No
damage was done by this blaze.
At o'clock Chemical No. l was call
ed to a second grass fire in the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway yard at East
Broad and Liberty streets. The same
company went cut at $50 to West
Broad and Jones street for like cause.
Box So, the first general alarm of
the day was sounded at 6:35 O'Clock
and called the department to a small
shop on West Broad and York lane.
where an inside fire had been caused
by a small boy and a fire cracker. The
blaze was quickly eXtinguished. though
the damage will amount to between SIS
and S10G.
At S:35 O'Clock Hose Company No 1
went to house at the corner of Duffy
and Price streets where roman can
die had set the roof of a house on fire.
The damage will not go over S.
About the same time an alarm from
Box called the fire fighters to a
house near the corner of Wright and
East Broad, where fireworks had again
caused a blaze. The damage will not
go over $75.
Engine Company No. went out at
9:17 to cowshed on West Broad near
Jones, which was on fire on the roof.
Five dollars will cover the amount of

Blues VIII Escort Them TO Train
and a Detail VIII Attend Funeral.
The police were unable yesterday 10
obtain any clue to the iden-
tity of the negro who killed Bar
ney Smith and wounded Albert Dargen
on Broughton street early yesterday
morning, although additional facts
were learned.
The police are certain that the first
shots were fired at the negro. An ex-
animation of the dead man yesterday
developed the fact that he was shot
through the heart. and he could not
have fired after the bullet struck him.
He emptied his pistol at the negro, and
those who were with him chased the
man. 1t was then that Dargen was
shot in the shoulder.
Deputy Sheriff O'Connor was close
on the heels of the negro in Broughton
lane and could have killed him. The
deputy, however, did not know that
anybody had been shot, and Of course,
under the circumstances, could not use
his weapon. He lost the negro in
Broughton lane between Whitaker and
Barnard streets, but is certain that he
cid not go out into Barnard street.
The remains of Smith will be sent
this morning to Claxton for interment.
Smith was son of the late w. T. X.
Smith and was only 20 years of age.
He was member of the Republican
Blues and the command will act as an
escort to the train this morning. A de-
tain from the company will accompany
the remains to Claxton where the
family burial grounds are located.

and Selected a Wardrobe.

A bold thief forced an entrance to
Sickles Pressing Club, on President

an officer, would have made way with an
extensive wardrobe. He made his es-
cape through the skylight, leaving be-
hind him on the roof no less than a
dozen suits of clothes.
The negro had been in the establish
ment some time before his movements
were detected. Officer Beaver hearing
some noise inside. made an investiga-
ton, which resulted in the speedy flight
of the intruder. Before being detected,
however, he had effected a change of
clothing, and when ne quilted the place

had hastily selected and donned, leaving
BEND his rags and tatters. BY these IL

ever, spend the day at the police sta

ed to. Nellie was badly beaten on the
West Side and asked that she be per-
mitted to spend the day in her accus-
toned place at the station house. She
had not been drinking and the unusual
request was granted. Superintendent

"Sheehan is liar"
This statement from prisoner who
was referring to Patrolman Sheehan,
broke the monotony in Police Court
yesterday and caused a small-sized sem
sation. Ex-Patrolman c. w. Wyatt was
being arraigned for having been disor-
derby or I5roughton street Christmas
Eve night and Patrolman Sheehan was
giving his testimony.
The defendant had been called down
by Recorder Myrick for talking in court
before his case was called, and was not
in very good repute when Sheehan be-
gan his testimony. Not only did the
prisoner call the patrolman a liar, but
he continued to talk after he had been
sent into the prisoners room and had
to be taken to the station house. For
disorderly conduct on the street he was
fined $50 or 80 days, and for cursing an
officer in the discharge of his duty he
was fined an additional $50 or 30 days.
The incident occasioned considerable
excitement in the court room.

CLUB DIDN'T HURT HER.

Although she had been struck several
vicious blows with a baseball bat, Ma
mic Rowland, better known in police
circles as Alberta London, showed up
at police headquarters yesterday to
say that her injuries were not serious,
although the police had believed that
she was dead. The woman had her
arm in sling, but otherwise seemed
none the worse for her encounter with
the club. Her assailant was not To-
Gated during the day and was not to
be found in the vicinity of Purse and
West Broad streets, where the trouble
occurred.
