CHINESE NEW YEAR.
CeIestIaIs of Savannah Celebrated
1t Quietly.


Yesterday the Chinese throughout the
world celebrated their New Year and
in many places the day was made
memorable one. and the feasting was
carried to a high degree of perfection
and ceremony.
Savannah Cinnamon however, spent
the day quietly. In fact there was
slight diversion from their usual walks
of life, the event passing off in about
the same manner as a man celebrates
the birthday he had forgotten. What
celebration there was. the Celestials
confined to their own shops, pipe joints
or restaurants and consisted of a feast
better than the ordinary, drinking and
fan tan. In some few instances they
got together in small crowds and in
dulged in hilarity and small feasting.
The reason the celebration of the New
Year was not more deliberately COM
memorated is said to be due to the
fact that the Cinnamon of Savannah
are not organized and are too poor to
carry out a programme equal to their
more wealthy brethren in other cities.
They are also said to be more divided
here than elsewhere, every Celestial
looking after his own affairs without
any degrees of sociability
The majority of Cinnamon here
worked the same as on any other day,
and several who were asked about their
doings said they did nothing but eat
good dinner, smoke pipe for a time
and then go back to work. TOO poor
TO have good time" was the general
explanation of the quietness of the day.

UNDER CARS WHEELS
LITTLE BOY PLUNGED.
FOur-Year-OId wyIIy I<eck Had
Roth Legs Crushed.

Both Legs Crushed.
In an effort to board a moving troll
ley car at Thirty-seventh and Mont
gomery streets at $3.50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon Wylly, the S-year-old
son of T. P. Keck, superintendent of
the lighting department of the Savan-
nah Electric Company, was run over
and badly injured.
The wheels of the car passed over
both legs of the little fellow, and 1t
may be necessary 10 amputate one.
While his limbs were badly mashed
the right one was crushed until it may
have to be taken off, although the at
tending physicians are in hopes of saw
ing it, The accident occurred under
rather peculiar circumstances IN front
of the residence Of Supt. Keck.
Wylly and his 11-year-old brother,
Harry, were standing on the corner
when southbound car No. 10 of the
Montgomery street line approached the
crossing. The car was in charge of
Motorman G. p. Remley and Conduc-
tor l. II. Harley. Harry walked to the
track and waved the car down, intend
ing to ride to Fortieth street three
blocks away, where the line ends. Mo
torman Remley saw young Keck and
shut the current off, intending 10 stop
for him.
The little fellow did not know that
his brother Wylly had followed close
Iy on his heels to the tracks and did
not wait for the car to come to
standstin He reached out and swung
up on the front platform, not dream
ing that his little brother would en-
deavor to do the same thing. The
child, however, made the effort and
fell under the wheels of the slowly
moving car: The child's screams at
tracted the attention of the motorman
and the car was brought to a sudden
stop.
Tenderly the limp form of the little
fellow was lifted from the ground by
the men who manned the car. 1t was
feared that he had been killed. The
police ambulance was hurriedly sum-
moned and the young sufferer was
taken to the Telfair Hospital. The
crushed and bleeding limbs were dress
ed by Drs. Corson, owens and Jones,
and the left leg will certainly be saved.
There is much doubt as to the right
one, however, and it may be found
necessary to amputate. The unfor-
tunate accident cast damper over
the officers of the street railway COM
pany. and Mr.. and Mrs. Keck have the
sympathy of many friends. Mrs. keck
accompanied her young son to the hos
pital, where he is receiving every pos
sible attention.

ATTORNEYS FEE
BANKRUPTED HIM.

With a lawyers fee of $108 as his
only debt, Mark Tarver, a farmer in
bingham county, filed his voluntary
petition in bankruptcy in the United
States District Court yesterday morn
ing. This is one of the few cases in
which the bankrupt has but a single
liability, and the only one in which the
petitioners bankrupt condition was
brought about by lawyers fee.
Tarver has no assets. This makes it
the stranger that he should have taken
the act. At the inside, the attorneys
fees and court costs, incident to going
through bankruptcy, are $50. The sim
gle creditor of the bankrupt's estate
is A. Clarke Wright.
The petition was filed in the clerks

Court yesterday by R. w. Sheppard,

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for single bottle of medicine, and yet
If you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for\a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No manscan die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
800 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy 1t from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.

Rifle Associations Meeting.

Rife Associations Meeting.
A meeting of the Interstate Mill
tary Rife Association will be held to-
morrow night at S:15 o'clock in Bat
terry DIS quarters at the Guards
Armory. Gen. w. w. Gordon, presi-
dent of the association, has issued in
vitations to the members, and it is
large and enthusiastic one. There are
several matters of Importance to the
association and to the citizens of Sa-
vannah generally, which will come be-
fore the meeting, and it is hoped that
many citizens not already members of
the association will be present.
The charter of the association will
be submitted and constitution and by
laws adopted. 1t is probable, too, that
a date will be fixed for the shoot in
Savannah next summer. The matter
of getting the state shoot for Savan-
nah will be taken up, and discussed,
and it is expected some definite step
will result At the last meeting steps
were taken to this end, and it is de-
sired, after hearing the report of the
committee then appointed to continue
that committee, and take such other
further action as may be deemed adj
visable. ..F
Col C. T. Cam will be present at
the meeting, and will probably ad
dress it. He has recently returned
from Atlanta, where he had a confer
ence with Gov. Terrell. 1t is UNDER
stood that this conference was entire
ly satisfactory, and that Savannah's
chances for the state shoot are very
good. There are other matters to come
before the meeting, and it is thought
that it will be an interesting one.

car Temple of Lansing, that state,
We're in the city yesterday en- route to
Florida and South Georgia for the
purpose of examining timber land and
selecting a site for the erection of a
sawmill, providing they find all copdi-
tons as represented to them.
They will first go to Jacksonville,
looking over the field there, after
which a general trip of that state will
be made, ending up in the southern
portion of Georgia. Mr.. Colbaugh, in
speaking of the venture, said that he
was not in a position to give out in
formation, as the party is only pros
pecting. but stated that the gentlemen
represent a large sawmill syndicate
and that they will purchase land, even
should they decide not to build a mill
at once.

in the Interior.
Fair weather is predicted to-day and
tomorrow, with slightly cooler condi-
tions in the interior of the state. Fresh
winds will blow from the southeast,
and increasing.
The following conditions existed
throughout the country yesterday:
"Pressures have rapidly decreased
over the eastern portion of the coun-
try, while the vast western depression
has deepened and extended, the center
having moved from Nevada to Utah.
This storm center has caused copious
rains over Nevada and California, and
a southerly gale at Modena, Utah.
"A rather remarkable feature this
morning is the vast extent of terri
tory covered by the fog area. Practi-
cally the entire eastern half OF the
United States being covered by a
dense fog. A further decline in tenn
perature is noted over the Dakotas,
but elsewhere east of the Rockies
warmer conditions prevail. In addition
to the rainfall over the Pacific states
precipitation has occurred in Texas over
the Missouri valley, and over most
of the country between the MISSISSIPPI

officers were reelected. The present

Waring.
Capt. Walker had announced his in
tention of going on the retired list, and
asked that his name be not considered
for reelection. A committee was APP
pointed to nominate officers, which
committee waited on Capt. Walker
about a week ago. Since that time
Capt. Walker had thought that the
committee was considering other nomi-
nations. At the meeting last night he
was elected in the face of the fact that
he asked to be relieved. The men
have become so attached to him that
they were unwilling to give him up,
and insisted upon his holding his post
as commanding officer.
1t was not until after the election
that Capt. Walker consented to serve
again. He explained to his men that
he had been with the command for
forty years, and it was only the
urgency of his BUSINESS duties that de-
manded his retirement. Capt. Walker
seemed still undecided when seen by
representative of the Morning News
after the election. When pressed for
his decision, he said:
well, l suppose l will be with the
boys for another year"
1t has been practically decided that
the battery will not participate in the
battle exercises of the First Regiment
on Feb. %. The matter will probably
be finally determined at the meeting
of the command on Monday night.
There is little doubt but that the usual
oyster roast at Tybee will be held o.
that day. The expense and hard work
incident to participation in the exer-
cises will probably result in a declina-
