st. Johns EpiscopnI.

In flower decked church where Ii
lies, emblems of the season pre-
dominated, four services were held in
st. Johns Church. An early celebra-
ton of the holy communion took place
at 8 O'Clock, a full service, celebration
of the communion and sermon at IL
o'clock. Sunday-school at 4:30 o'clock,
and the Easter festival of the Sunday
school at O'Clock.
Each of the services was we'll at
tended, especially that at IL O'Clock, at
which, in order to accommodate the
unusual number of worshippers, chairs,
were placed in the main aisle, and
benches in the rear of the church and
in the gallery. Among the attendants
at this service was a body of thirty
odd soldiers from Fort Screven, who
marched to the church en- masse.

There were no developments yester-
day in the charge of irregulanty in
the office of the clerk of City Council,
resulting in the resignation of Clerk
w. p. Bailey, other than the surprise
it caused.
Mr. Bailey was on the streets with
friends during the day, but made no
further statement than that which he
made to the Morning News, that if
any Irregularities are found to exist
they will be promptly met. There are
many who look upon the Irregularities,
If there are any. more in the nature
of graft" than anything else.
The resignation of the clerk of Coun-
Gil will have to be accepted by City
Council and it will probably be read
at the meeting Wednesday night 1t
is not believed that Mayor Myers will
call a special meeting to take the mat
ter up, although it is within his prov
ince. Deputy Clerk Hernandez will act
as clerk until an appointment is made
by the Mayor, or until Council elects
Mr.. Bailey's successor. Notice of an
election will have to be advertised for
ten days, and Council will probably
order this done at its next meeting.
It appears to be a fOregOne con-
clusion that Mr.. ]. Robert Dreamer,
clerk of the Court of Ordinary, will
be made Clerk of Council. Mr.. Creamer
was a candidate against Mr.. Bailey
at the last election of. city officers but
withdrew in the interest of harmony.
Leaders of the administration faction
are unanimous in the opinion that he
will be elected, without opposition, to
fill the vacancy. 1t is not known yet
whether Mayor Myers will appoint Mr..
Creamer or have Deputy Clerk Han
nandez fill the office until the regular
election.
Because of the alleged Irregularities
in the Police Court accounts it is al
together probable that some change
will be made in the manner of con-
Quoting the auditing department of the
city. The Council may determine TO
have an auditing department so that
in the future there cannot be a ques-
ton of irregularity.
There is considerable talk that the
charge against Mr.. Bailey has a po-
iitical significance and is the result of
Ill feeling among factionaI followers.

flowers and palms for Easter and the
services, morning and evening, were
largely attended. The principal decora-
tons had been placed inside the chan

of ferns and greenery, relieved with
Easter lilies and azalias. A huge

Yesterday was an eventful time in

Mistletoe Camp, Woodmen of the
World. attended the morning service
in body and heard a special sermon,
preached by the Rev. T. d. Ellis, pre-

The Woodmen were out in goodly
numbers, and heard with interest and
attention the excellent discourse of
Mr.. Ellis. 1t was not a theological
discussion, but talk upon the prog
ress that religion has made, and how
it has advanced the interests of the

st. Patrick's Church.

The Easter services at st. Patrick s
Church were of an extensive order and
beautifully in keeping with the event
being celebrated. The church was es-
pecially and handsomely decorated for
the day with fitting material and
abundant beautiful flowers of the sea-
son.
The specially arranged musical pro-
gramme for the high mass by an I'M
usually large choir was rendered in
excellent style. the solos and special
numbers being we'll executed. The rem
dition of LaHaCh's grand mass by the
choir, under the direction of Mr.. Jo-
seph Steeg. was especially good, and
the choir was the recipient of many
compliments after the service.
At the services in the evening an
other special programme of music was
rendered, and Father Mccarthy
preached an eloquent sermon on
Christ's resurrection. All the services
of the day were largely attended. the

westminster Presbyterion.

The decorations at the Westminster
Presbyterian Church were beautiful,
and at the morning service the church
was crowded to the doors. The flow
ers in the pulpit were particularly
pretty.
The pastor, Rev. w. A. Nisbet. at
the morning service took as his text
I. Peter, S:1S-20: For Christ also
hath once suffered for sins, the just
for the unjust, that he might bring
flesh, but quickened by the spirit
BY which also he went and preached
unto the spirits in prison. which some

MISSES HARTMAN MADE
OFFICER TAKE BACK SEAT.
And Had Something to Say to Con-
ductOr.

The trip of the Hartman sisters to
the state sanitarium at Milledgeville
was not without incident. Deputy
Sheriff Charles Fennell who accom-
panied them to the asylum, returned
to Savannah yesterday. after a rather
interesting experience.
The sisters, in their pet aversion TO
mankind, made no exception to the
portly officer of Apollo Belvidere
physique, but rather laid down the
law, shortly after the train pulled out
from Savannah, that he should go
away back and sit down. Having no
desire to engage them in conversation
and being less DESTROYS still of creating
a scene, he withdrew in good order
remaining in the rear of the car dur
ing most of the trip.
When Gordon, a transfer station,
was reached, Conductor Cubbedge
thought to aid the sisters in ahghting
from the car. But there was nothing
dong. The younger of the two,
raised her fan warningly at him,
calculating, to his dumfounded sur
prise, Don't you dare lay hand on
men, you numbkull." The deputy came
to the assistance of the gallant but
dumbfounded conductor with an expla-
nation to the effect that they were on
the road to Milledgeville.
The matron at the institution laid
her hand fondly on Grace's shoulder
as the sisters were being led to their
apartments. To this the young wom-
an took exceptions, reminding the ma
iron that she was civil Grace Har-
man. who minded her own business,
and taught the same doctrine.
The elder sister had little to say on
the trip. Neither craved, or even
brooked, any outside interference, and
only at times displayed their eccen-
tricities. Mr.. Fennell was obliged to
handle the ribbons when the three
were placed in a hack for their desti-
nation, the sisters both declining to
ride in the same conveyance with a
Colored man.

Sacred Heart Church.

The Easter services at Sacred Heart
Church yesterday, both morning and
evening, were beautiful. The special
musical programme was splendidly rem
dered by the large choir. The church
was beautifully decorated and packed
at all services
At the high mass Father Bernard
preached a dogmatic discourse on the
resurrection of Christ. proving the Di-
vinity. The special music at that serv-
ice was especially grand and beauti-
fully rendered. especially the EFT in
Carnatus est by Mrs f. w Barber,
soprano. and Miss Villa Aveilhe, alto.
and chorus.
At the evening service Father Alloy
sius preached on The Resurrection"
from the text, He is risen He is not
here His sermon was a moral dis
course on the resurrection, showing
that If Christ had not risen our faith
would be void.
The music at that service was also

HUSSARS AND GALATIANS
WILL SHOOT FOR TROPHY
First of Series of Matches Will BE
Held at Hussars' Club Tonight.

First of Series of Matches Will BE
Held at Hussars' Club Tonight.
A great deal of interest is centered
in the rifle match between the picked
teams of the Georgia Hussars and the
Chatham Artillery, which begins to-
night in the Hussars' gallery. The
match will be the first of a series of
two teams in their respective gale
ries. A handsome silver trophy has
been offered to the winning team.
The teams which will represent the
two organizations have been selected
after several weeks practice, and con-
sist of only the active men of each
of the organizations, this limitation
being placed on the match by the
members of the artillery. The scores
made by the respective teams have
been about the same, so that the out
come of the match.is a problematicaI
matter.
The rifemen who have been Sc
lected by Team Captain j. G. Nelson
to represent the troopers are c. r.
Way, o. c. Martin, j. Shetall, Neyle
Colquitt and j. G. Nelson. Those who
will uphold the reputation of the ar
tillerymen are W. T. Dixon, team
captain; Armand Chapeau, Charles
Wakeman, Joseph Gallaher and Hark-
ley Germany.
The match will begin promptly at
8 o'clock. Ten shots will be fired by
each of the teams of five men each
at a distance of so yards. The % cali
Der rifle and German ring targets will
be used, the scores being kept by
judges chosen by the captains of the
contesting teams.
To avoid accidents and insure order
the gallery proper will be enclosed by
ropes so that no one except the COM
petitors and the judges of the con-
test may be in the enclosure The
match has aroused a great deal of in
terest and will probably be watched by
a large crowd.
The second match of the series will
be pulled off on next Monday night
at the Chatham'S indoor gallery. If
the championship is still a matter of
doubt at the conclusion of that match
a third contest will be shot in the gall
lery of the team which has at that
time scored the highest number of
points The trophy which is being shot
for will be paid for by the losing team,
and remain the property of the Win
ners.

A large congregation attended the
Easter services in the First Presby-
terrain Church yesterday conducted by
Rev. DR.. w. P. McCorkle, the pastor.
The attendance at the morning service
special programme was given and
nine new members admitted into the
church.
The church was not decorated, but
special programmes of Easter music
were sung, and the sermons also were
appropriate to the day. That of the
morning was Christ, the Food of the
Soul" and was based on texts drawn
from John vi:4S-49-50 and So; the night
sermon was more in the nature of a
talk. The subject was, THE Spring
time of the Soul"

Christ Church.

The Easter services at Christ Church
were especially beautiful. The spacious
house of worship was beautifully deco
rated with the rarest of the flowers of
Easter-tide, the chancel being almost
hidden in it's dress of water lilies, roses
and azaleas. The special song serv-
ice was appropriately beautiful, and
the sermon of Rev. Robb White on the
risen Lord was a forceful effort.
But one service was held during the
day. the usual night service being dis
pensed with. The Holy Communion
was celebrated at the conclusion of
the morning devotions. 1t will also be
observed this morning and tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.

MANY WENT TO RESORTS.
Band Concert at Casino Attracted
Large Crowd.

Large Crowd.
Although the weather was in a meas
ure threatening, and there was hard
shower shortly after 3 o'clock, the
hour at which the Casino patrons
always start out, an unusually large
crowd visited Thunderbolt yesterday
afternoon and enjoyed an excellent
concert by the First Regiment Band.
For a short while it looked as if the
weather conditions would brighten
pleasure seekers from the resort, but
the clouds passed away the sun came
out, and hundreds went out to hear
the band concert. The band occupied
the new stand near the river, and the
crowd was scattered throughout the
building, and over the grounds. The
walk over the river was thronged
with people and those who made the
trip to Thunderbolt had a delightful
time.
The building and grounds were at
their prettiest The Casino was re-
Gently touched over and the benches
on the grounds given a fresh coat of
paint. The grass was cut Saturday
and the resort was more attractive
probably than at any time since its
opening. Even after the concert many
remained on the ground and there
were several supper parties. The res
taurant did a rushing business and
will remain open during the remainder
of the season. Quite a number of per-
sons spent the day on Tybee Island,
and Isle of Hope got its share of the
crowds that left the city for an after
Moons outing. The service given by
the Savannah Electric Company was
all that could have been desired and
Manager Kidder, Supt Oakley, Asst
Supt. Rhodes and the various in
spectors, were all kept busy.

REPORTED STRIKE
ON G. F. & A.
President j. p. williams Thinks
Rumor a Mistake.

um0F a MISTAKE
A dispatch to the Morning News
from cambridge, Ca, under date of
Saturday, states that every freight
train of the Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama Railroad is sidetracked, because
of a strike of the firemen, brakemen
and flagmen. The men struck, it is
stated, because when paid off Friday
they found that their pay had been
reduced, and that without any notifi-
cation.
The men are reported as saying that
the strike will continue until the COM
pany restores the old scale of wages.
Mr. J. p. Williams, president of the
Georgia. Florida and Alabama, is of
the opinion that this report has been
greatly exaggerated. He has heard
from General Superintendent Coleman,
he says, that there is some trouble
which resulted in the quitting of some
of the firemen and brakemen, but, it
states further, no difficulty was ex-
perienced in replacing the firemen.
Mr. Williams is satisfied that had
traffic been tied UP on the road he
would have been notified of the mat
ter at once, and considers the absence
of such a notification proof conclusive
that matters are not in very bad shape.
No reduction in wages has been made,
he also states, and thinks this re-
port may have been brought about
through a difference between the men
and Pavmaster r. L. Uzzell as to what
constitutes a days work.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
road will be held in cambridge We'd
nesday and Mr.. Williams will leave
Savannah either to-day or tomorrow
to be present. He anticipates little
trouble, If any, in righting matters.

BRIDE OF A NIGHT.
Came from Illinois to Wed and
Lost Husband.

Lost Husband.
Claiming that she has been deserted
by her husband of a night, a woman
from Illinois is in Savannah trying
to find redress. She claims that she
was married last Thursday night, and
that Friday her husband left her
1t appears that she came all the way
to Savannah to close a match that had
been made through matrimonial pa
per, and that she never saw the man
she married before Thursday. They
CORES ponded and the wedding was ar
ranged at long distance The
ceremony was performed by a magis-
trate, but the groom appears to have
tired of his bargain in a single night.
The woman is very much exercised
and can attribute no cause for the ac-
ton of her husband. She stated that
she had not deceived him and that
he was fully aware that she is not a
woman of means.
