IMPORTANT DECISION.

\ Heavy Judgment Against the City on
Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad
Bonds.
The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed
the decision of Justice Woods in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court, in this city, in
the two cases of Kelly and Martin versus
the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah.
The suits were instituted upon certain
coupon bonds of the Savannah, Albany
and Gulf Railway Company. which bear
the indOrsed guaranty of the Mayor and
Aldermen of the city of Savannah. The
defendant sought to recover from the
guarantOrs the amount due on the bonds.
In the court below the city set up the
defense that the guaranty was made with
out consideration. and without any legal
authority. and was therefore void. The
court. however. instructed the jury that
the evidence. if credible. showed that
there was a valid consideration, and that
the bonds guaranteed were issued for
purposes of internal improvement within
the meaning of the city's charter. Under
these instructions the jury found YER
dict for the bOndhOlder, and judgment was
entered accordingly.
This decision, as affirmed, fixes the LA
bility of the city at about $45O,OO. The
bOndhOlders were represented by Capt.
Geo. 4. Mercer, and Gen. \. X. LawtOn
and Judge W. ;. Chisholm appeared on
behalf of the city.

ROBERT j. WARD, the subject of this notice,
was born in Manchester, England, December
6, 1868. March 81, 1882, he was sent to St.
Vincent College, Pa, by his father James r.
Ward. a most respected citizen of Savannah.
On his arrival he entered the commercial
course, and soon distinguished himself by a
quick perception and diligent application to
his studies. He was a general fav0rlte with
his fellow students-genial, open hearted and
the soul of honor. His superiors and profess
SOrS always 1OunQ MIN uOCle ana anxious TO
improve his opportunities. All looked for
ward to a career of success and honor,
when, alas! he contracted a severe cold
which resulted in fatal Inflammation of the
lungs. Day and night the hand of kindly re-
lief and sympathy attended his every want,
well knowing that the sOlicitude of absent
friends, far away in the sunny South, fingered
about his bedside. He gradually grew worse,
and his dread disease baffied the skill of three
eminent physicians, who spared no pains to
save life SO dear to all. The last sad, but
cOnsoling, rites of the Catholic Church were
received with every mark of Christian resg-
nation to Gods will. Thus fortified, he calmly
expired at :35 on the morning of March q,
the reverend President of the college at his
bedside.
Mr.. James r. Ward arrived at the college
Thursday morning. The fathers intense sOr-
row and bereavement cast a deeper gloom on
those who for fourteen years had not mourn
ed the death of a student. At 80 p. IN. the
dirge resounded over the collage grounds,
and sad procession accompanied the dead
companion in his departure from the
scene of so many joyful hours. Gods
will be dOne The memory of our whole
souled Southern schOolmate will long linger
in our minds. No more fitting words than
those of the South's gifted poet priest can
close these lines of sympathy and respect:
'And for my dead, my Father, may pray?
All, signs may sOOthe, but prayer shall soOthe
me morei
| keep eternal watch above his clay
Oh, rest his soul my Father, l implore!i

In appealing to public confidence we
would lay special emphasis upon the fact
that we rely rather upon the sincerity of
our promises and the quality of our goods
than upon catchy advertising for our
success. We never make statements in

are fast learning that the expression,
''Only an advertisement" does not apply
to the Famous" New York Clothing

thing, namely: rigid adherence to down.
