POLICE HAD DIFFICULTY
IN HANDLING CROWD.
Extra Detail of Men Ordered to
BecISham-WiIIcOx wedding.

Pushing and jostling each other
crowd of several hundred men. women
and children, some with cards and
some without, blocked the entrance to
the Independent Presbyterian Church
last night before the Beckham-Wil
nuptials and an extra detail of police
had to be called into service.
Three uniformed men were sent to
the church with instructions to admit
only those who had cards. Before 8
O'Clock the crowd began to assemble
and there was considerable confusion.
The main door of the church was kept
a jar and there was "A congestion when
the superintendent of police put in an
appearance. II had been reported to
him that there was apt to be trouble
of some sort.
1t was not an ordinary crowd and
could not be handled in an ordinary
manner. The superintendent had con-
siderable difficulty in working his way
through the eager men and women
and hard things were said about him
until he reached the main door and
gave instructions that relieved the sit
uation to a very large extent. He or
dered four additional men to the
church and one of the doors was open
ed wide so as to permit the passage of
more than one person at a time.
In the meantime some one telephoned
to the Mayor for additional men. The
Mayor was not acquainted with the
fact that the superintendent was di-
recting the officers, and telephoned po-
lice headquarters to send additional
men to the church. The order was
promptly obeyed by the desk sergeant
and force of ten uniformed men and
two officers were present at the con-
Clusion of the service.
Although instructions had been Civ
en- to admit only those holding cards
great many who had not received
invitations attended the ceremony. The
church sexton had occasion to open a
side door before the arrival of the
extra detail of police and he was in
stantly brushed aside by the crowd
which pushed its way into the church.
The sexton was powerless, and those
with and without cards jostled each
other and pushed their way inside.
Nearly hundred went into the church
in this manner before the sexton was
able to close the door again. This
storming of the side door relieved the
strain on the main entrance for a
short while.
Before the arrival of the extra police
the crowd pushed it's way under the
canopy running from the door of the
church to the sidewalk, on Oglethorpe
avenue. Officers were stationed at the
entrance, however. before the arrival
of the bridal marty.
A large number OF people remained
outside the church, and while the serv-
ice was going on the police forced them
back from the church. and sidewalk.
BY this means a clear passage was
made for the bridal party and those
who We're to attend the reception 1t
was a new experience with the police

DISPENSARY DID WELL.

The City Dispensary, Dr. L. d.
Strutton has filed about $4,000 pre-
scriptions, as against II, 1O1 during
1902. This falling off is but another
evidence of the healthy condition of
the city.
The year has been an unusual one in
the City Dispensary in that DR.. Strut
ton has been able to keep within his
appropriation. Out of an allowance
of $4,000 by Council just S5,597.S5 has
been expended. The keeper has been
able to save money by compromising
his own medicines.
DR.. Strutton will be able to start
1904 without an unpaid bill something
that he has not been able to do in
the past, bills having been carried over
from year TO year. All of the char
table institutions in the city received
supplies from the dispensary and the

COLDING TO RESIGN
ELECTED COUNTY ATTORNEY AND
WILL LEAVE CITY COUNCIL.
SEEMS TO BE NO DOUBT.
+. NJ. OLIVER, ESQ, PRETTY APT
TO BE THE NEW ALDERMAN.

At a Meeting of the Comfy Commits
siOners Held Yesterday at Noon
Col COIding Was Unanimously
Elected to FIJI the Vacancy Cnused
by the Resignation of Col. Cam
rs County AttOrney-His Duties rs
County Attorney Would Conflict
with His Duties to the City as
Alderman.
After reading Col. Cams formal note
of resignation the County Commits
sioners passed resolutions of regret,
and at once entered into the election
of a successor to the Office.
There were a number of candidates
for the place. but the majority of those
who first went into the race withdrew
after finding that there was little
chance for their election. Col Colding
was unanimously chosen, and he was
at once notified.
Owing to the critical illness of his
mother, Col. CoIding did not take the
oath OF office. at once, but will prob
ably do so to-day
1t is likely that Col. Robert L. Cold
ing VIII resign as a MEMBER OF CITY
Council and that Frank M. oliver,
Esq, will be elected in his place.
At meeting of the County Commits
sioners at noon yesterday Col. Colding
was unanimously elected County At
torney at salary of $1,50C a year.
There were no other applicants. Col.
Cams resignation was first read and
accepted
While Col. Colding did not announce
that he would retire from the alder
manic board it was understood that he
realized that his duties as county at
torney and alderman would be apt to
conflict at times, and that it would be
better to sever his connections with
the city. Mr.. Oliver was mentioned as
his successor.
Col Colding is the vice chairman of
Council and is chairman of the Fire
Committee He is also a member of
the Public Health and Assessment
committees While he could not be
seen on the subject it appears certain
that he will hand in his resignation at
the next meeting of Council and that
at that time Mr. oliver will be elected
by the other aldermen.

trolman Clark, who was on duty in that
section of the city, was instructed to
pay special attention to the house, and
was walking in the lane when he saw
the three negroes.
One of them was in the act of
going over the fence, and the patrol
man began to move cautiously in the
direction of the suspects. The negroes
saw him, however, before he reached
them, and ran. Clark called upon them
to halt and when they failed to obey
his command he opened fire. A search
was made of the neighborhood, but no
trace of the suspects could be found.

negroes arrested by Detective Bos-

the rounds again during the morning

BOARDED THE NACOOCHEE.

Hymnn ArOnOwsISy Locked Up ns n
Lunatic for Safe Keeping.
Just after he had gone aboard the
steamship Nacoochee to sail for New

shore, ran down the gang plank and
fed across the wharf.
Up to yesterday Aronowsky ran a
shoe shop on West Broad street. He
has a wife and one child, and it was
noticed that he was gradually losing
his mind. His wife feared he would
be locked UP for insanity and she pre-
vailed on him to sell out and move to
New York. The shop was sold, and
with his family he had gone on board
the ship when Aronowsky's mania as
sumed a violent turn. When he was
finally captured 1t was decided to lock
him up for safe keeping.

ClTY'S SPLENDID HEALTH.

In health conditions no city Of it's
size is better off than Savannah The
report of the health officer will show
that fewer negroes have died during
1903 and about the same number, or
a few more. white.
In 1902, All whites and 992 negroes
died, making a total of 1463 deaths.
The total number of deaths for 1903
will go over this, it is thought, but
DR.. Drummer figures ons an increase
in population of 1500 a year.
While the report of the health Off
Ger will not be ready for some days,
he is in a position to speak with rea-
sonable certainty on the subject. Be
tween 70 and q negroes in a thous-
and have died during the present year,
as against 29.17 in 1902. The ratio
per thousand of white deaths will
be about the same, 1924.
