Charley Murphy knows how those

He is Silent Charley"
Edward Hagan became the Tam
many leader of the district in 1887 and
held the leadership until 1892. In all
his campaigns he was the same free.
money-spending, high-living Hagan.
Back of him-his balance wheel--was
Murphy, now man of wealth and in
fiuence. Big leaders in Tammany Hall
looked with respect on the silent young
man who had shown that he could play
district politics with the best of them.
The inevitable end Of a man living
Hagan's life came to him in 1892. BY
his bedside as he lay dying stood
Charley" Murphy and all his other
political lieutenants. Almost the last
words that Hagan said were:
Boys, when I'm gone see to It that
nobody gets the leadership but Char
ley"
So we find Charley" Murphy, ex-
ship-yard apprentice, ex-streetoar driv-
err, leader of one of the biggest Assem-
bly, districts in the city at the age of
thirty-two. To be the dictator of the
Gas House" district was no mean
honor for man scarcely past his
youth, but 1t did not turn the head
of Charley" Murphy.
He applied himself to politics and his
saloons as a combined business. He
made politics pay just as he made his
saloons pay.
Murphy had no ambition to hold Of
fee until Van Wyck was elected. Then
he accented place as dock commits
sioner. Upon taking office he gave his
four saloons away to relatives and close
friends. Whether he took them back
after leaving Office is not known.
When Silent Charley" went into the
Dock hoard he is reputed to have been
worth probably $500, 900, accumulated
in the saloon business and politics from
d capital of less than $500 in eighteen
years. He had his money well invest
ed, he is a shrewd speculator and
doubtless his fortune increased in the
four years he held office. Out of this
increase and his salary and perquisites
as dock commissioner he ran his bank
account up until 1t sizes In the vicinity
of 81, 900, 600.
Personally the new leader of Tam
many Hall is a pleasant man to meet.
He is poor talker, and his habit OF
listening has grown with the years.
He is a strong man physically, with a
deep voice and a direct manner None
but a man of exceptional strength
could have stood the seige of Illness
he went through last fall, when he lay
on sick-bed for eighty-five days.
He is a religious man, communi-
cant OF Epiphany Roman Catholic
Church. He goes tomas every Sun
day and donates literally to the
finances of the church. In all his ca
reer as a "a Ioou-kaenar--apd qofne of
his saloons are in neighborhoods where
the practice is general-he never al
lowed woman in 0ne of his places
of business. He had no wine rooms
for women and would not tolerate
them.

Leaves Christ Church for Rectorship
of Church of Good Shepherd.
Rev. NJ Campbell Stryker, assistant
rector of Christ Church, has resigned
that place and accepted the rectorship
of the Church of the Good Shepherd,
Jacksonville, of which he will assume
charge some time the latter part of
November or the early part of De-

days.
Rev. Mr.. Stryker has been in Savan-

here from Waycross, in which city
and in the surrounding towns he con-
Quoted services for some time before
accepting the Savannah position. He
has a great many friends here who
will learn with sincere regret of his
intention to leave the city.
The plans of the vestry of Christ
Church are not yet settled, but it is
probable that another assistant rector
will be secured to assist Rev. Robb
White in the work of the parish.

than nine curtain calls. This number
was exceeded at the various climaxes.

WILD STORIES AFL0AT.
RumOrs That Three Had Been KILL

RumOrs That Three Had Been KILL
ed on an Excursion Train.
Wild rumors of disorder on an in
coming excursion train last night
proved, upon investigation, to have
been greatly exaggerated. One of the
reports was that three colored men
had been killed and that there had been
all sorts of confusion on the train
bringing a crowd of colored excur-
eionists from Augusta, by way of
Yema ssee.
Conductor c. w. Damon of the At
lantic Coast Line, said that he had
brought the train, known as the second
section of No. As, from Yemassee and
that there were about 800 people
aboard. There was some disorder, but
not much more, perhaps, than is gen.
eral on excursions of this kind There
was some fighting on two of the
coaches, and several pistol shots were
fired. So far as he could learn no one
was hurt, beyond bruise or so in the
fisticuffS, and he was sure that nobody
was killed. The train was stopped long
enought to put two of the combatants
off at Monteith, about Is miles from
Savannah, but that was all.

about the formation of a body that
would prove of such benefit to the
commercial interests of the city.
"All the business interests in Savan-
nah should be represented" said the
Mayor. '"The organization should even
include the railroads, which should
have their representation included in
the membership. In this way the BUSH
ness. men with grievances could read
ily secure the ear of the officials, and
there would be an understanding
through the membership In the same
body that would put business men and
railroad officials on better terms.
ut would be at no great expense to
the members that such an organiza-
ton would be conducted. The Long
