OBSERVED ANNIVERSARY
OF EMMET'S BIRTH.
Elaborate Programme Rendered by
Ancient Order of Hibernfans.

Elaborate Programme Rendered by
Ancient order of Hibernfans.
With music and addresses the three
divisions of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, and the Ladies' Auxiliary
to the order, last night observed the
anniversary of the birth of Robert
Emmet, the Irish patriot. The pro-
gramme was an elaborate one and it
was after midnight when the last
number had been concluded. The eele-
bration was in Hibernian Hall and
the room was crowded to it's fullest
capacity.
The opening address was made by
County President j. ]. Powers. In his
address Mr.. Powers called attention
to the day which was being observed
and of the great propriety of the MEM
bers of the order in paying ever in
creasing attention to the memory OF
the many noble Irishmen, and espe-
cially to Robert Emmett.
After a few musical numbers Mr..
c. V. Hohenstein recited Emmett s
speech. The address which has be-
come so famous and which is treas
ured by all Irishmen was excellently
rendered, and at the close the audience
vigorously applauded the speaker.
A number of musical selections of
varying character followed, after
which Mr.. p. J. O'Connor, one of the
most prominent members of the order,
delivered an address on the notable
patriots whom Ireland has produced.
In rapid succession he sketched the
deeds of the patriots who had given
their lives for the freedom of their
country, and who had stood unfinch-
ingly when the power of all England
was massed to destroy them.
A beautiful tribute was paid to En-
met. His early life was briefly
sketched, and the speaker pictured the
events which just preceded his arrest,
trial and conviction. The hopelessness
of acquittal in the court in which he
was put on trial was shown before
hand and yet the hero fiinched not
and did not weaken.
Much of the success of the enter
tainment and the pleasure of the even
ing is due to the efforts of the COM
mittee which had in charge the
making of arrangements. The COM
mittee was composed of the following
members of the Hibernians: Mr.. John
]. Dillon, Mr.. ]. J. Powers. Mr.. J: j.
Egan, and Mr.. w. S. Founder. The
following is the complete programmes

RATHER ROBBERY THAN
BEAT BOARD BILL.
Evangelist Mcconnell Abused Those

Evangelist Mcconnell Abused Those
who swindIe widows.
ANY man who beats his board bill
is nothing more than a thief and
scoundrel, and there are several of
them in Savannah who are the big
gest hound dogs that ever landed in
your city" said Rev. Lincoln McCon-
nell at Trinity Church last night. IF
they are here tonight I don't want
them to come up trying to get re-
ligion until they have gone and paid
those board bills which they owe.
If 1 should come in contact with them
1 would want to keep my hand on
my purse while they were near.
The man who owes some widow
woman his board bill and can't pay
it should go out and knock a rich
man in the head with a club and take
the money from him and pay the bill.
1t would be far more honorable TO
do this than to beat a poor woman
out of the amount"
Evangelist Mcconnell took for his
theme, Saved By Faith" and preach
ed one of the strongest sermons he
has preached since the protracted serv-
ices have been in progress. Without
gloves he handled the man who beats
his board bill.
Everything. in our everyday life is
based on faith" said Mr.. Mcconnell
Take the engineer who goes out of
Savannah on the mighty locomotive
He could not do this unless he had
faith in the telegraph orders which he
receives at every station, and he al
ways knows just when and where he
will pass another train. If he did not
have faith in the, man behind the tele-
graph key it would be impossible for
him to do this"

WANT REIMBURSEMENT
FROM LAND SYNDICATE,
BarstOw Heirs Ask for Amendment
in Their PIeadines.


The case of the heirs of Elias Bar
stow against Messrs. Isaac Beckett. C.
H. Dorset and others occupied the
United States Court yesterday. The
case came before Judge Speer on a
motion to amend the pleadings.
By the proposed amendment the heirs
ask the right to proceed against
Messrs. Beckett, Dorset and others,
who composed the syndicate which
purchased the land of Barstow, to col
lect $4,000. the amount which they were
ordered ts pay Mrs. Goerz, an innocent
purchaser.
At the last session of the court Judge
Speer awarded the land in dispute to
the Barstow heirs. The land contained
about fifty acres. formerly valued at
$4,000, but now more valuable. The
decision was in favor of the heirs, ex-
cept against the equity of Mrs. Goerz,
whom the court decided had not been
put on notice, and was an innocent
purchaser. To her the heirs were or
dered to pay $4,000 before they might
obtain title to the land.
The heirs are now applying to the
court for the tight to proceed against
the members of the syndicate who war
ranted the title of Mrs. Goerz. The
application was resisted on legal
grounds.
The property concerning which the
dispute arose consists of land on Will
mington Island and real estate in the
southern section of the city. The is
sue is an important one and the
amount involved considerable.
Elias Barstow, whose heirs are the
plaintiffs in the present dispute, lived
for years on the island alone, and was
regarded as a hermit.
Judge Speer took the matter under
Amusement and win file his decision
this morning.

MUST SHOW CAUSE FOR
NOT SIGNING DEED.
Moore & Co. Made First Move in Dis
puted Sale Case.

puIed SAFE OaSe.
Further developments in the disput-
ed sale of the Fawcett property at
the March sales appeared yesterday
when Moore & Co, through their at
suit against Sheriff ]. ]. Horrigan of
the City Court and DR.. NJ. X. Corbin,
calling upon them to show cause why
the property sold should not be deed
ed to the compliments.
No blame attaches to the sheriff in
the matter, the compliments stating
that the property was knocked down
because the sheriff did not hear their
bid. DIR. Corbin bid S5,525 on the prop
erty. Sheriff Horrigan called for any
higher bids, and, hearing none, knock
ed the property down TO DR.. Corbin.
Mr.. Owens then stated that he had
bid $3.50 on the property and demand
ed that it be put up again. The prop
erty was again offered, and though
Mr.. Owens bid $3.50, DR.. Corbin de-
clined to bid again, claiming that the
property belonged to him on his former
bid.
The day following Moore & Co. pre-
sented a deed to Sheriff Horrigan to
sign, and he refused to do so. The
complainant Messrs. c. j. Moore and
Z. G. Mcdonald. then brought the
suit. calling upon the sheriff to show
cause. Upon reading the petition
Judge Norwood assigned the case for
a hearing on Thursday at 10 o'clock,
and ordered the sheriff and DR.. Cor
bin to show cause why the property
should not be decided to Moore & Co.
The point involved in the case is
apparently an entirely new one. A
thorough examination of the records
has been made and no similar case
has yet been found in Georgia law,
United States law or in the records
of any of the states of the Union
The property in question is that OF

TARGET PRACTICE
AT FORT SCREVEN.

Pyramids of Cloth Four Miles Away
Were Aimed at.
At Fort Screven yesterday afternoon
a quarterly target practice with the
big guns and mortars took place, and
with most satisfactory results so far
as craftsmanship was concerned. Serv-
ice charges were used, and five shots
fired each from an S-inch rifle, IL
inch rifle and a 12-inch mortar.
The targets, pyramids of cloth, Z
feet square and supposed to represent
the smokestack of a man-of-war, were
four miles off. The excellence of the
craftsmanship is understood when it is
known that the mortars scored a rec
ord of so per cent, as unusually high
percentage.

PAVING PLANNED
FOR THE YEAR
ENDS OF CASTOR STREET
TO BE IMPROVED WITHOUT REF
ERENCE TO DISPUTED PART.

with Vitrihed Brick, 1t Is stated,
the Street Will BE Paved From
Price to East Broad, and From
Jefferson to West Broad-PavinE
of Price street From CASTOR TO
Henry. and Park Avenue From
Jefferson 10 West Broad Also Con-
tempIated.
There is a plan on foot to pave that
mart of CASTOR street which is not
included in the injunction proceedings
instituted in the United States courts
by property owners on the street.
Ordinances are also being prepared
for the improvement of other streets,
and considerable street paving Will
probably be done during the present
year.
In the list of streets that are now
being considered that portion of Gas
ton street which is involved in litiga-
ton has been omitted. The present
plan seems to be TO pave all around
the portion Of the street in dispute
and to leave from Price to Jefferson
undisturbed.
There are a number of the alder
men, a majority of them, 1t is said
who are determined not to put down
asphalt on CASTOR street. Paving has
long been contemplated for this street
on either side of the portion now in
litigation. and ordinances for the paw
ing of these portions will be intro
duced at the next meeting of Council,
il is said.
Making short Connections.
The paving contemplated in the near
future will complete several thorough
fares that are now only partially paw
ed. of the work that is now being
done. Park avenue and Abercorn street
will both be finished next week. Other
streets already passed by Council Will
be paved as soon as the brick arrives.
In the meanwhile the aldermen. are
contemplating other improvements OF
a more extensive nature. There VIII
at the next meeting of Council be IN
troduced an ordinance providing Tor
the paving of CASTOR street from hsast
Broad TO Price streets and also Gas
ton street from jefferson to west

Of the street now in litigation, which
ATTENDS from jefferson to Price. That
part of CASTOR street. which is in the
courts IS to be let severely alone for
a long time to come. unless some set
Element should be agreed upon, which
does not now seem likely.
Drawing Up Ordinances.
This win complete, with the excep-
ton Of that portion of CASTOR street
that is now tied UP in the courts. long
continuous stretches of paved thorough
fares, that are now disconnected. East
and West Broad streets are both
paved Price street is paved to Gas
ton. 1t will be two weeks after their
introduction before the ordinances can
be passed. BY then the paving now
under way will be almost complete.
Thirty-firs street from Bull street.
east, is to be paved and the necessary
ordinance will probably be introduced
at the next meeting of the board.
This ordinance viii be passed with
out any opposition. The paving of
Park avenue from Jefferson to West
Broad is also being planned and an
ordinance, authorizing the work, will
be drawn up. This street is regarded
as an important one.

Col. William G. Obear, inspector

was quoted yesterday as discussing the
question whether the Savannah Volun-

the gray uniform, stated last night
that he has purposely avoided any dis
cussion of this matter.
This question was settled some time

stated that there is no reason why the
uniform of gray should not be con-
tinued so long as the commands using
it are not mustered into the service of
