lRlSH-AMERICAN S0CIETY'S
NEXT SUNDAY PROGRAM,

The meeting of the Irish American
Society, yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for the
oyster roast and outing at Tybee next
Sunday, was largely attended. That
no one knows better than an Irishman
how to have a good time was evidenced
by the arrangements for the initial
celebration of the society. Seventy
three new members were elected, that
they might take part in the event.
Alpine hats have been substituted
for high hats because of the inability
to secure sufficient of the latter. The
hour of assembly has been set for IL
a. m. at Irish-American Hall, in order
that all members will have ample time
to attend church before assembling.
The march to the Tybee depot will
begin shortly after, headed by the First
Regiment Band, over the following
streets: From the hall direct to
Broughton street, on Broughton to
Drayton, to Oglethorpe avenue to Hab-
ersham, to Liberty. to East Broad, to
President. and to Tybee depot. This
line of march has been selected for
the purpose of avoiding any churches
so that no services will be disturbed.
A special train will be taken at the
depot for the Southend of Tybee, the
Inlet Club pavilion and buildings hav-
ing been secured for the day. The
band will furnish suitable music dur
ing the festivities.

HELD UP A CABMAN.
Lone HiGhwnyman Got S1.7O md
Badly Frightened n Negro.

Lone HtRhWn ym0n Got S1.1D ana
Badly Frightened n Negro.
Returning from the Southern Cotton
Oil Company's mills at an early hour
yesterday morning, oval Burton, ne
gro hackman, was held up by an I'M
identified negro and relieved of s1.70.
Burton was badly frightened and left
his cab on the road after three shots
had been fired at him.
The cabman had taken a man to the
oil company's mills and was returning
to the city on the Augusta road. When
about a mile out a negro threw a
revolver in Burton's face and ordered
him to throw up his hands. He
quickly obeyed and delivered $1.70 to
the lone highwayman.
Burton feared that he would be kill
ed and after he had delivered the
money jumped from his cab and ran.
The highwaynan fired three shots at
the fleeing cabman who made his way
to the railroad tower on the Louisville
road From that point police head
quarters was notified of the robbery
and Mounted Patrolman Eivers was
hurried to the place. The officer found
the horse and cab, but no trace of the
highwayE1en could be discovered. Bur-
ton was badly frightened and the off,
Ger had to accompany him back to the
city. The rain was falling in torrents
at the time and the cabman and officer
were both wet to the skin.
