PRESENCE OF MIND
AVERTED ACCIDENT.
Negro Driver Barely Escaped Sc
riOus Collision with Car.

What promised to be a serious ac-
cident was narrowly averted on Whita-
ker street yesterday at noon by the
presence of mind of a negro driver.
By his prompt action in swinging his
team almost at right angles to the
trolley tracks a serious collision with
Mill-Haven car was averted.
The negro was Thomas Hall. He
was driving a team of mules, hauling
large load of boxes, of varying sizes,
up Whitaker street, when the Mill
Haven car turned from Bay street
into Whitaker. The car ran slowly I'M
til near the store of Belsinger & Co.,
when the motorman began running
faster.
Hall was directly in front of the car,
and the wagons standing along the
street made it almost impossible for
him to get out of the way of the car.
When directly in front of the store of
the firm named the car was close upon
him. Taking the only chance open,
the negro turned his mules sharply to
the left and barely missed a serious
collision. AS it was, the car struck the
wagon, knocking several boxes from
the load and pushing the wagon close
against the sidewalk.

ALL THE RESORTS
WELL PATRONlZED.
General Holiday Caused Big Attend
ance at Amusement Places.

General Holiday Caused Big Attend
ance at Amusement Places.
The resorts did a good business YES
terday. especially Thunderbolt, the Ca
sno being crowded, both afternoon and
evening. The holiday carried a big
crowd to all the resorts, and 1t was
the first day at the Casino that the
carrousal was running. 1t proved i'm
mensely popular with the children.
With the opening of the carrousal
the amusement park now becomes one
of the most completely equipped
amusement parks in the South. 1t is
certainly better than anything On Geor-
gia, and is probably ahead of anything
in the South. The variety of amuse-
ments is endless. There is the laugh
ing gallery, the house of trouble the
miniature railway, the toboggan. the
carrousal and numerous other attrac-
lions, including shooting galleries and
other features.
The Mayer Opera Company is to be
the attraction at the Casino for the
remainder of the week, including a
matinee to-day.
The Isle of Hope and Tybee were
also we'll patronized yesterday. Being
holiday, most of the people had moth
ing to do, and the resorts came in
for large share of visitors.

Admitting that he was intoxicated
when taken in charge by Patrolman A.
j. Clark, John Seeman, a Jap from
the good ship Olivette, faced Recorder
Myrck in Police Court yesterday morn
ing
There was no mistaking the fact that
John was elated at the manner in
which his country is handling the Rus
sian bear, and he expressed a willing
ness to slip 80 from his wad of $3.50
and pay for his little celebration.
John was ready to go broke paying
fines-if they were imposed for DRINKS
following victories by his countrymen.
And it was this show of patriotism
that won him the day. Recorder My
rick, and the other court officials, adj
mired Johns pluck and felt like pre-
senting him with a gold medal-or
anything else but a sentence.
But, of course, the majesty of the
law had TO be upheld, and a fine was
imposed. John. however. was charged
only 81, the smallest fine that the Re-
corder could impose. Clerk of Council
Creamer didn't really want to take the
money, and the man who had been Gel
ebrating not only almost got off, but
secured the sympathy of those around
police headquarters. He seemed pleased
at the reception accorded him, and the
American people have not fallen in his
estimation.

CROSSES OF HONOR
FAILED TO ARRIVE
Badges Were Presented to Veterans
in Their Stead.


Owing to the fact that the Confed-
crate crosses of honor, which were to
have been presented to ten veterans
last night, failed to arrive, small
badges Of the Confederate colors were
pinned on the coats of the veterans.
This action was taken as, under the
rules governing the presentation of the
crosses, the crosses could not have
been given otherwise until Lees Birth
day.
1t was announced that crosses are
expected daily. AS soon as they ar
rive they will be presented to the vet
Grams by the secretary of the Savan-
nah Chapter, Daughters of the Confed-
eracy. The small badges given were
merely pinned on the veterans to serve
until the crosses arrive.
The ceremony which marked the
comforting of the badges of courage
was very simple. A committee, con
ssting of Miss Rebecka Dupont, Miss
Elizabeth McLaws, Miss Katherine La
than and Miss Daisy Willink. pinned
the badges on the gray coats of the
veterans. Capt. L. G. Young, COM
mander of the Confederate Veterans
Association, called the names of those
who were to receive the badges, and
as his name was called each veteran
stepped forward to the platform amid
a storm of applause.
The following are the veterans who
will be given the crosses: Veterans
John Bernard, Henry w. Butler, W.
Fl. Daniel, John P. Dill, F. Goolsby, j.
A. Huger, Benjamin Rothwell, Robert
Saussy, w. Fl. Smith and A. B. La
Roche.

BELIEVES MANAGERS
ACTION WAS FOR BEST.
Advantages of Having Orphans In
the Public schools.

<NuNHhtHEee OF HAVING Orphahs In
the Public schools.
The announcement that the mana
gers of the Savannah Female Orphans
Home had decided to put the children
in the public schools next year was
pleasing news to Supt. Otis Ashmore.
This action on the part of the man
ayers he confidently believes has been
for the best interest of the children
committed to their care.
Though 1 know nothing of the
training they were receiving" he said,
yet the placing of them in the pub
lie schools is a matter which can but
be of the greatest benefit. In the
orphans home. under a private teach
er, they are completely isolated. In
the public schools they come into
little cosmos and learn much of life
from contact with other pupils.
THE children of the orphans home
are legitimately the children of the
public schools. A financial benefit ac-
crues from placing them in the schools
and dispensing with the private in
structions. In the schools there is no
tuition charge, and the money which
has heretofore been spent in the en-
ployment of a private instructor can
be put to other uses.
Then the children are free and have
plenty of exercise. They meet other
children and learn to Judge of human
nature. In this way they are immeas-
urably better fitted for the duties
which will come to them in after life
than if they had remained always in
the home.
II know nothing of the system Of
the school instruction given at the
home, but l am certain that the pub
lie schools will prove of almost in
estimable benefit. Though we are
crowded for room, I shall try to see
to it that the orphans home children
are given seats next year"

ABILITY OF CHRIST
TO SAVE TO UTTERMOST
Discussed by Rev. j. I. Oxford in
EvangeIistic Sermon.

EvanEelistic Sermon.
From the subject "Christ's Ability to
Save" Rev. ]. 1. Oxford preached the
third of his series of evangelistic serv-
ices to a large congregation at the
South Side Baptist Church last night.
AS. a result of the service three joined
the church, making total of nine ac-
cessions since the beginning of the
meetings.
The text of the sermon was taken
from Hebrews, 7:25: Wherefore he is
able also to save them to the utter
most that come unto God by him, see
ing that he ever liveth to make inter-
cession for Them
Instance after instance was taken
from Biblical history to show the DOW
er which Christ had to save even the
most fallen. He saved men physi-
cally, men whose diseases physicians
had pronounced incurable. He saved
men and women spiritually, taking the
most lowly and fitting them for great
works.
The woman at the we'll, a woman
with question mark after her name,
was chosen and she returned to the
city and did great good. Mary Magde-
lcne was relieved of seven devils
and became one of Christ's most devot-
ed followers. The dying thief was saved
on the cross. Go and sin no more
was spoken to one of humanity's most
fallen creatures"
Modern life was then taken up and
several incidents recited by Mr.. OK
ford. in which the saving power of
Christ had entered the most hardened
hearts, and, completely changing them,
made them wonderful forces for good.
Hope is open to the most fallen, he
said, and whosoever believes on Christ
shall be saved.
There will be no meeting this after
noon at 4:30 as on the other DAYS of
the week. The night service will be
held as usual

Col. Quinn Will Also Arrange for
Disbursement of Moneys.
Tomorrow night, or early Monday
morning, Col. James b. Quinn, division
chief of United States engineers, will
make special trip of inspection to
Charleston. The Charleston district IS
a part of Col. Quinn's division, and he
will inspect all work that has been
done there very carefully.
Recently new batteries have been
placed at Fort Moultrie and these i'm
provements will be examined by Col.
Quinn. The majority of these new bat
teries have been placed at Fort Moul-
trle.
The disbursement of moneys will also
occupy considerable Of the time of the
inspecting officer. There have been
sums in varying amounts left over from
me appropriations Of Congress, etc.,
and until Col. Quinn takes action on
the matter this surplus money cannot
be used at all. 1t is probable
that Col. Quinn will distribute the
money among different projects which
are nearing completion.

THE THIRD CLAIMANT
FOR WRIGHT0N ESTATE.
VIII File Papers. With Court o;
Ordinary This Morning.

VIII File Papers. With Court o.
Ordinary This Morning.
Announcement was made yesterday
by Attorney w. M. Hayward that he
would file the papers this morning for
the third claimant of the estate of
Isaac Wrighton, colored.
This makes it certain that there will
be some interesting litigation before the
estate is finally wound up. The old
negro's property is valued at about
$4,000.
The first claimant did not set up any
relationship with the deceased, but
simply held that he had been promised
the estate for school purposes. This
was the man who wanted to call in
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost" as
witnesses to the fact that the deceased
had intended to dispose of the estate
as the claimant stated.
Last Thursday a second claimant, a
Philadelphia negro, appeared through
his attorney and claimed blood-rela-
tionship with the deceased, referring
to him as Cousin Ike" This claimant
asked that County Administrator w.
Fl. Wade be appointed administrator of
the estate. A caVeat was at once filed
to the claim of the other negro by Mr..
Wade.
Yesterday being a legal holiday no
papers were filed, though Attorney w.
M. Hayward announced to the Court
of Ordinary that he would file the pa
pers of the third claimant this morn
ing. The claimant is a negro woman
and she makes affidavit to the effect
that she is the sole heir of the estate
Her name has not yet been made pub
lie She will ask, as did the second
claimant, that Mr.. Wade be appointed
administrator of the estate
The case has attracted considerable
attention owing to the many intricate
complications. Wrighton was a South
Carolina negro, and his relatives were
at first not known to the court. He
died intestate. The outcome of the
case is awaited with considerable in

Lying across the southern track of
the Thunderbolt line of the Savannah
Electric Company, near Thomas Sta

terday morning.
The discovery was made by the mo-
torman and passengers Tn a heavily
loaded car bound for the city on the

been horribly mangled if he had been
on the northern track.
As It was he was in 10 immadiate

had remained on the track all night,

Benson Kennedy. the negro charged
with entering a lady's room Thurs
day morning. was tried in Police
Court yesterday morning. and dis
charged.
The negro claimed to have entered
the house under the misrepresentation
that it was a restaurant. There was
no evidence to show that he had in
tended to steal or to commit a more
serious crime. as was at first supposed.
The negro claimed to have apologized
and left, as soon as he discovered his
mistake.
There was no doubt about his having
left the place in hurry, the patrol
man having to hustle to catch him.
There was no one present In court TO
contradict his statement that he had
apologized for going into the house.
Because of lack of evidence showing
any criminal intention, the case was
dropped.
