The Savannah morning news., 1902-08-21

by reporter of the Morning News, is
that White had been employed around
the place and had some time before
been given his mony and told to go.
This he was not willing to do, and be-
gan grumbling and talking in an ugly
manner. Growing holder, he had taken
UP a hammer to strike some one in the
store and had then been summarily
elected. Getting a piece of cobble
stone he had again entered the store
and had thrown 1t at on of the en-
ployes. 1t was then that Mr. Barr had
thrown the bottle. A friend stated that
the young man had said that he had
no intention of hurting the negro, and
only wanted to drive him out of the
place. He was surprised when the boy
who had turned around, fell to the floor
with his head cut open and portion of
the bottle remaining in the wound. He
was removed to Solomon's drug store
and given first relief and was then sent
to the Inf1rmary, where last night 1t
was said that he was doing we'll.
1t is said that White is as"mean ne
gro" and had been giving no end of
trouble at the place before he was laid
out. Mr.. Barr is from Chattanooga,
and is on visit to his brother.

Standby

Have you ever been out at night and
watched the ways of the red hot" man
who sells cooked food from a stand
along the sidewalk? If you have not,
you have missed something that tends
to show how the other half lives and
are minus an interesting hour or two
of study of type of humanity.
Few people realize how this serving
of lunch on the street has grown, and
only those who have studied the evolu-
ton of the street vendor can under
stand the prosperity that attends this
avocation. A few years ago the stands
or wagons where one went to buy a

placed for Convenience in moving from
place to place. having been cooked at
the home of the seller. Not so now.
The erstwhieie downcast push cart has
taken to itself airs of good fortune and
the little industry has become a -four
ishing trade in plying which the pro-
prietor makes more than he possibly
could as day laborer or in any other
pursuit open to those in his station of
life.
Growth of the Red Hot.
The cart itself has been metamor-
phosed, and from humble origin has,
like the oak, risen to be thing, if
Where once it was dirty it may now be

formed the framework gaudy paint
now shines, the favorite colors being
a dark blue for the panels and an
equally dark red for the holdings and
corners. In a few cases white is used,
but it is not adapted for the work and
soon loses it's garishness and becomes
dingy and dirty.
The wheels, on the contrary, have
refrigerated and get smaller and
smaller as the stand becomes more
and more of fixture. In not few
cases they have ceased to exist alto
gether and the home of the muchly
derided frankfurter stands in the one
spot through winter and summer,
vas or oilcloth. Others, though, like
the sun, do move, shifting night
ly from street to street as
the exigencies of the season de-
mand, or as the crowds gather
for where the people are, there are the
red hot" men gathered together. These
places are not designated as push carts
any longer in the verbiage of the tax
lists. They are under the category of
cook shops" and are licensed by the
city at $40 per annum, while the former
are slated at the rather prohibitive fig
ure of 500. AS natural consequence
there are few push carts in Savannah,
while the name of the cooking stands
is legion.
What They Sell.
What do they sell? Well there is
quite a variety on the bill of fare;
homeless ham, eggs, fried and boiled,
frankfurter sausage, rolls, ginger cake,
pies and the like, but the piece de re-
sistance seems to be fish. From what
ever quarter one approaches a stand,
whether windward or leeward, the odor
of frying fish bites the nostrils with a
pungency that is all its own. Men there
are who have said that the odor is saw
ory, but all will not agree with them.

savannah VIII Become the Home of
Const Line Trainmen.
The Atlantic Coast Line will. on Sept.
!, inaugurate a new system in the OPP
Grafton of its passenger trains that
will be some compensation for the re-
moval of officials and clerks from Sa-
vannah. This city will be the terminal
point, of the district of the First Di-
vision Immediately north of Savannah,
and of the First District of the Second
Division. This means that crews of
the passenger trains will be changed
here.
There will be seven of these train
crews each of five or six men. They
will establish their homes here, as Sa-
vannah will be their "lay-oVer" point
These crews now run through, without
changes being. made.
On Sept. there will be a re-defining
of the limits of districts. That of
Superintendent G. G. Lynch will ex-
tend from Florence to Savannah, in
stead of from. Richmond to Charles
ton. as now That of superintendent
w. H. Wright, as indicated some time
ago by the Morning News, will extend
from Savannah to Jacksonville, TAX
ing in the Brunswick and Western
from Brunswick to Albany. 1t will
also include the Folkston "cut-oft' and
the Jacksonville terminals. The line
between Charleston and Savannah viii
be taken from Superintendent Wright's
jurisdiction, but the additions made to
it will more than compensate. The
change is a tribute of the officials TO
Superintendent Wright's ability.
Superintendent George w. Haines
will retire from the service of the Coast
Line. He has been superintendent of
the Brunswick and Western and the
line from Jesup to Jacksonville. The
consolidation of these with the district
under Superintendent Wright will
leave but five, instead of six, districts
in the Second Division.
Other changes are to be made on
Sept. /. Among these. one that will
afford railroad men general satisfac-
ton is that which will make Chief
Clerk Jeff D. Andrews, of Superinten-
dent of Transportation in w. J. Hay

First District of the Second
Division, the most important

WITH GASOLINE CAN
JIM PAVILICOS SAW HIS NEPHEW
ENTER A CELLAR.
LATER THERE WAS A FIRE
AND CHRIS sEIDos' GROCERY WAS
BURNED.

John PrviIicOs Arrested Yesterday
More Than a Year After the Fire,
Charged With Arson-In Feeling
Between SLidos and PnviIicos
known to Exist-The Prisoner
Taken Before Justice Bevans and
Admitted to BaiI-The Case to Go
Before the Grand Jury at Its Next
Meeting.
John Pavilicos was arrested yester-
day on a charge of arson, sworn out
before Justice G. E. Bevans by Chris
Skidos on evidence furnished by Jim
Pavilicos, an uncle of the accused. All
the parties are Greeks and behind the
arrest there is an interesting story.
The alleged crime was committed
more than year ago-May 9, 1901, to
he exact--and in the wording of the
warrant John Pavilik, as the name is
usually given "willfully and malicious
ly set fire to and caused to be burned
the dwelling and store on the northeast
corner of West Broad and Broughton,
by setting fire to the cellar occupied by
Chris Skidos.'
There had been ill-feeling between
the two for some time, and it is al
legged that Pavilik had been heard TO
say that he would get even with Ski
dos, and if in no other way, he would
burn him out When the fire occurred
it was thought that the accused was
the guilty party, but there was moth
ing on which legal redress could be
taken. Later Pavilik is said to have
gone around telling of the fire and that
he had caused it. On Monday Skidos,
having heard this talk swore out an
attachment before Judge BevaRs for
$3.50. the amount lost by the fire, in
which Skidos entire stock in trade was
destroyed. The attachment was made
and several banks in which Pavilik
was said TO have money were gar
nished.
Where the uncle of the accused
comes in is that at the hearing he
stated that he himself had seen John
Pavilik on the night of the fire, a
few minutes before the alarm was
turned in, enter the cellar of Skidos'
place with a can of gasolene. When
this evidence came forth Justice Be
vans decided that the offense was so
great that it would have to be heard
by the higher court. The warrant
was then sworn out by Skidos and the
accused arrested.
Pavilik was released late in the aft
ernoon on a bond of $500. At first it
was thought that the offense was not
bailable except before judge of the
Superior Court, but on investigation 1t
was seen that according to act of 1899
the crime of arson is bailable where
mere was no loss of life in the fire.

SOFIA, AN INDIAN DRINK.

are becoming Fond of 1t.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Sofia, the national drink of the
Creek Indians of the Indian Territory,
is to them what the mint julep is to
the native Kentuckian. 1t is made
of corn and water. There are three
kinds-plain. sour and white. The
latter two are fancy mixed drinks.
The recent invasion by white people
of the domain of the Creek Indians
has popularized sofka until the fash
ion of drinking it has spread all over
the Southwest, and it promises to be-
come an equal favorite with the mint
Julep and whisky sour
Indians have dish made expressly
for sofka. When an Indian wants a
sofka dish he goes to the woods, hews
down a hickory tree and cuts there
from block 10 inches thick In one
side of this block he hollows out a
bowl-shaped cavity six inches deep
and makes the inside as smooth as
possible.
In this vessel the Indian places his
corn, and with pestle, which is some
times made of stone, but more com
monty of hard hickory, he pounds the
COLl uIllll IL 10 d COdTSe IIl6dl. neI
he takes some kind of fan, or some
thing which will take its place, and
fans the broken grains until all the
husks fly away. If the broken grains
are uneven in size he takes out the
larger grains and beats them into
finer meal.
A potful of hot water and two quarts
OF meal are used in making SOFIA.
When the corn and water have been
cut in the pot and the pot has been
placed over the fire, take some vessel
having perfora tons in the sides or
bottom and put in it some clean WOO
ashes. Then nearly fill the vessel with
water.
Hold this vessel over the pot con-
tanning the meal and let the I've made
by the water soaking through the
ashes drip into the sofka. Then the
mixture is allowed to boil for from
three to five hours. 1t is next set
aside and not drunk for days later.
This is plain sofka
The sour sofka is made in the same
way but the mixture is set aside un-
til it has soured or fermented. This

IN LIFE INSURANCE.
Col. Wrenn GENERAL Agent of New
York Life In Brooklyn.


An Atlanta dispatch to the Morning
News says that Col. B. W. Wrenn,
formerly passenger traffic manager of
the Plant System, is to be general
agent of the New York Life Insurance
Company in Brooklyn. The informa-
ton was contained in a letter from Col.
Wrenn to Chairman Richardson of the
Southern Passenger Association in At
!anta. Nothing is known by Col.
Wrenns friends here of his
new venture 1t was pref
ty generally believed that he was
to be connected in short time with
one of the leading railway systems in
a similar capacity to that which he
occupied with the Plant System and
the news of his entry into the life
insurance field is something of sur
prise. That he will be a leader in
insurance, as he was in the passen-
ger business, in which he was known
the country over as hustler, no one
who knows him doubts.

fell that winter, and he filled the we'll
with snow-balls. He rolled up balls
until they were large enough to go
into the well cleverly, and then dumped
them in until it was packed to the
top. They were packed so closely
that they did not melt until late the
following summer, but when they did
they produced. supply of water 1
never saw surpassed for purity, soft
ness or GOODNESS. 1t was delicious.
Strange to say, this well, always dry
before, has produced a plentiful sup
ply since. The water, while not as
good as that from the snowballs, is
still excellent, and celebrated through
out the neighborhood.'

soured mixture is the popular drink
among the FULL looded element.
White sofka is made from white
corn and tastes much better. The In
dams have a fine white corn which
they raise exclusively for this purpose.
In making white sofka the grains are
cooked whole and the flakes are eaten
later after having been boiled in the
water and I've. The corn is then
known as big hominy.
The Indians eat with their sofka a
dish known as blue dumplings, which
are quite as necessary as cheese and
crackers with beer. In the making of
blue dumping two cups of cornmeal
are used, a half teaspoonful of baking
soda and a small quantity of butter
The meal and soda are mixed thor
oughly. Enough butter is used to
maxi the meal hold together. and it
is rolled into little balls. These little
balls are dropped into a pot of boiling
water, boiled for from three to five
minutes, removed with a spoon and
served hot. The dish is fit for any
palate.
