The Famous Lamar Mortgage Cas-
Ono Day Nearer It's End.

The Famous Lamar Mortgage Case
One Day Nearer It's End.
The hearing in the now famous Lamar
mortgage case was resumed yesterday morn
ing in the United States Court.
The compliments endeavored to meet the
previous ruling of the court to the effect
that in order to enttle them to proceed with
their case they must show that &. B. La
mar had complied with the decree of the
Superior Court of Chatham county re-
quiring him to give a credit of $50, 900 on
the claim which he alleged he had against
the estate of G. A l.. Lamar.
They Offered in evidence an entry on a
journal and ledger kept by G.. b. Lamar,
showing an entry of the credit, but at first
declined to offer i'll evidence the whole
ledger account or the journal entries, to
which the other items of the account refer
red. The court ruled that it was not suffi-
Gent, that they must show a credit on an.
account purporting, at least on its face, to
be valid
The compliments then offered in evidence
the whole account on the ledger This was
ruled out OF the ground, among Others, that
all the entries ON the ledger showed that
they were made by G. b. Lamar, or his
clerk subsequent to the death of c. A. l..
Lamar, and long after the transactions
were had for which the en-
tries were made and because the ledger was
not the original book of entry. They also
offered i'll evidence previous ledger from
which the entries ON the other were appar-
entity in part transferred. This was OBJ
jected to on the ground that it showed on
its face that it was improperly kept and
entries antedated, and because it was not
the original book of entry The objection
was sustained by the court The COM
plainants We're Offering in further evidence
letters and correspondence between Mrs.
Lamar and G. b. Lamar by which they
might establish the fact that G. b. Lamar
had made a claim against the estate, which
the administrative had admitted was to
estop them from denying the $50, 600 credit
was to satisfy that calm, when the court ad-
journed.

RHEA's DAY OF TRIALS.
Delayed by Wreck She Reaches the
Theatre Late but Happy.

Rhea played "Frou Frou' last night
under disadvantages. The company left
Charleston yesterday afternoon, and was
due here at G:3i o'clock last night A
wreck delayed the train. and it was o'clock
before it reached Savannah. 1t was then
twenty minutes before the time for the per
Torrance to begin. Mile Rhea called
her manager Mr.. Coleman, and sent word
TO the theatre that the company had ar
rived. The big piles Of baggage we're
| hurrledly transferred, and without supper
or even lunch the company was driven 70
| the Theatre. The audience was Informed OF
the delay, and II sat good naturedly until a
quarter to 9 o'clock, when the curtain was
Iung up
Mile Rhea is favorite with Savannah
theatre-goers, and when she appeared she
received an ovation. As "Gilberte'
she is at her best. She has
iathomed the soul Of the character
with unerring instinct, and her impersona-
ton has "a charm that even the coolest critic
cannot resist. She plays the part as only
French woman can. Piquant aud buoyant
in its lighter nIools, she is strong IN the
situations freighted with emotion.
In word Rhca plays "Frou Frou" as
Savann0hians have never seen it played by
any other artist.
She is strongly supported. In her com

acting.
In spite of their long, wearisome journey,

played Thursday night, at o'clock yester
day morning, and having Travelled all day,
except when delayed by wrecks, and hurry
ing from the tram TO the stage, the com

At the beginning of the last net
Mile Rhea caught moment Of rest.
She was sitting in her room wait
ing to go on for the final scene
and chatting pleasantly about people and
things, when she alluded to her days ex
peTlenCes.
"Oh what a day it has been" she said,
"but, then. we have to make the most OF
such things. ! rose at ; this morning, and
did not even have time for breakfast before
we started When we got 60 Charleston
we were almost starved. After dinner we
started for Savannah, and after all sorts of
well-we are here. When !
saw that charming audience though and
so many kind faces forgot all my fatigue
and tried my best to repay them for wait
ing so patiently"
To-day Rhea will play "Fairy Fingers"
at the matinee and tonight "Pygmahon
and Galatea. Fairy Fingers" is ono of
the brightest of plays, and in it Rhea in
PRODUCES many Innovations that the writer
did not intend. One of them, the interior

Her "GalateaN is one of her best charac-
ters, as it is her favorite, and in it she has
achieved great success. A leading critic
recently said of her that her "Gaatean is
one of the most fascinating stage pictures
that can be conceived
