Rulings of Commission.

The commission has held where the
evidence against a man was perfectly
clear in the minds of his superiors II
was not necessary to go through the
formality OF giving him another trial.
An instance cited was that OF a Gov
eminent employee who shot a man and
was arrested. He was promptly dis
missed from the service and appealed
his case. The commission said the evil
Gence against him was conclusive. and
1t was not necessary for the officials
u give him notice or trial.

Power Is Advisory.

The power Of the general superinten-
dent is largely advisory. and IT has been
the wish Of many members of the con
vention to increase his power. and. even
tuaily. make him a bishop. He has been
elected by the board. and is governed
almost entirely by its direction
II has also been desired by many that
the general superintendent should be
elected by the convention and not ap-
pointed by the board OF trustees.
After much heated argument from
both sides of the house and many hum
orous observations from advocates of
each side Of the question. a vote was fin
ally taken. by which II was decided that
the appointment of a general superin-
tendent should remain within the power
of the board.
A vote was taken upon the question:
Shall the general superintendent he
removed FOR cause2" It was decided by
q vote Of IS to cs that he may be so
removed.

nothing is conceded them they would

MAN AND WOMAN
WERE BADLY CUT.
Police Called Upon to Find wounded
Negro.

Negro.
Despite the fact that the police have
used every method to discover the
whereabouts of a negro named Paul
Robinson, who is supposed to have been
badly cut in Smithville, near the Sa-
vannah Cotton Mills, early yesterday
morning, they have been unsuccessful
and the affray is shrouded in mystery.
Under rather peculiar circumstances
Desk Sergeant Henry Baughn secured
information that two persons had been
badly cut near the cotton mills. The
groans of the wounded man had been
heard, and his appeals for the service
of a physician We're reported to the
police. 1t was believed that he had
been seriously wounded, but those in
terested were keeping the matter quiet.
Mounted Sergeant j. A. Wood and a
uniformed man made an investigation
and located the wounded woman, but
were unable to CLEAN any information
from her.
She was Ann Harris and stated that
the cutting had been done by her son,
Frank Mal1ard. He had also cut
Robinson, but the woman would tell
no more and pretended to know moth
ing of the trouble. She stated that
she did not know what had been done
with Robinson, or where her son had
gone. The officers searched the neigh
borhood, but have never been able to
find out what happened to Robinson,
or how badly he was cut. The woman s
condition is by no means serious. The
police are inclined to the theory that
the cutting ARRAY followed a dispute
over a game of cards and that Robin
son had been spirited away.

st. Patrick's Day to be Observed In
Many Ways.
One of the many interesting enter
tainments in honor of st. Patrick's
Day will be the exhibition drill, de-
claiming and spelling contest of the
Benedictine Cadets at the Benedic-
tine College Hall, to be given tonight,
so that it will not interfere with the
celebrations Tomorrow. The cadets
are we'll drilled and their exhibition
will doubtless be a good one. Several
of the young orators of the college will
also compete for honors, and all of
them will take a try at being the best
speller. The parents and relatives of
the cadets and the friends of the COL
lege will be present.
Everything is in readiness for the
attendance of the three divisions of

Irish Jasper Greens, under command
of Capt. J. F. Mccarthy; the Emmett

Cadets, under command of Lieut.. John
Bell of the First Regiment, and the
review of the parade by the Hibernian
Society from the balcony of the Hus
sars' Club. The entertainment of the
Ancient Order at Catholic Library Hall
in the evening will be very interesting
and the address of Father AloysiIs is
looked forward to as a rare treat.
The Hibernian Society's dinner in the
evening at the De Soto, beginning at

PREPARING SOUVENIR
FOR WESLEY centennial
Large Attendance Expected at COM
ing Celebration.


ing Celebration.
In furtherance of the proper adver-
Using of the Wesley bi-centennial,
which is to be deliberately celebrated
in Savannah June IS, Rev. J. A Smith,
pastor of Epworth Methodist Church,
is now preparing a souvenir of the oc-
casion, of which some 10000 are to
be sent out all over the country.
This souvenir, which will be in the
form of a book or pamphlet, will
give a sketch of Savannah, pictures
of its places Of interest. especially
those places connected closely with the
history of Wesley pictures of the
principal buildings of the city, photo
graphs of the speakers that are to take
part in the programme of the celeDra-
ton, and such other matters as VIII
be of interest to the expected visitors.
The present indications, Mr.. Smith
says are that the centennial obserV-
ance will draw to Savannah very large
crowds, as aside from the interest of
the occasion Methodists the world oyer
are interested in Savannah from the
fact that here, and here only, were
Wesleys labors in this country Per
formed. An effort will be made to
nave the railroads OHer rate OF enc
fare for the round trip, which, if Sc
cured. should materially contribute to
a large attendance.
1t has not yet been decided by the
Monument Committee whether the tab
lets to be placed on the Custom House
and the postoffice shall be of bronze
or of marble, nor has it been decided
what inscriptions they shall contain.
The majority of the committee are in
favor of bronze tablets. Both the
materials and the inscriptions will be
decided on at a meeting to be held
SUNDAY afternoon.

TWO CLASSES CONFIRMED.
Bishop Nelson Preached At st. PauIs
to Large Congregation.

A confirmation class of eighteen was
received in st. Pauls Church yester-
day morning by Rt. Rev. Cleland K.
Nelson, Bishop of Georgia. Bishop
Nelson also delivered the sermon of
the service taking as his texts Gal.
vi, 2: Bear we one another's burdens"
and Gal. vi. .: For every man shall
bear his own burden"
The sermon was an eloquent and
convincing reconciliation of the two
texts. which contain an apparent con-
tradiction. The service was attended
by a very large congregation.
AT night Bishop Nelson confirmed a
class of eleven at st. Augustine's Mis-
sion Chapel, colored. He delivered a
sermon at this service, also, which was
heard by very large congregation.
Bishop Nelson, who is the guest of
Judge Henry McAlpin, will probably
return home to-day.
