Savannah Theater-GoerS See "rhe
Quick or the Dead"
1t was difficult to tell whether the audi
ence at the theater last night was there to see
Miss Clayton or the play. In either event
it was not disappointed. Miss Clayton is GER
tainly beautiful woman, and the play in
the light of its authorship, or the authorship
of the Psychological Study" upon which
it is based, was sufficiently interesting to
satisfy those who were critically inclined.
In attempting to make a drama of Miss
Rives' novel, Miss Clayton grappled with a
hazardous undertaking, but she succeeded
far beyond what might reasonably be ex-
pected. She made of it a pleasing aud en-
pertaining piece. Some of the features,
Ike thoss of almost any play, are open to
criticism, but ON the whole the piece is
well adapted and is well performed by Miss
Clayton and her company

FRUIT STALLS CLOSED UP
DEMONDUS SIMPSONS CREDITORS
SWOoP DOWN ON HIM.

An Alleged Safe Robbery and Heavy
Purchases Lead to the Foreclosure of
Mortgages and the Seizure of the
Stocks in Two Stores and Three
Stalls-H. H. Lange's Failure - "A
Liquor Dealer Closed Up.
The announcement yesterday morning of
the failure of Demondus Sampson was in
the nature of surprise. Sampson did an
extensive retail business in fruits, confec-
tions, fancy groceries, fireworks, etc., hav-
ing stores at No. 1928 Broughton street,
and at Jones and Barnard streets, with street
stalls at Simon Gazan's corner, at Bull and
Broughton streets, and at Fried's corner, at
Barnard and Broughton streets.
AN ALLEGED ROBBERY.
The announcement that Sampson claimed
that his safe in the Broughton street store
had been plundered on Wednesday night
led two of bis heaviest creditors to believe
that there was danger of losing their ac-
counts and the fact that he had been buy
ing heavily, and had not made his usual
Monday morning payments last Monday
made them more apprehensive. These
creditors were J. S. Collins & Co.
and Kavanaugh & Brennan: The
latter Arm was SIMPSONS creditor to
the amount of about $1,000, and they took
possession of the store at Jones and Barnard
streets under a mortgage for $500, and of
his stall at Barnard and Broughton under
a mortgage for $40. j. S. Collins q Co.
took possession of the Broughton street
store and the stand at Bull and Brougnton
under bill of sale. removing the goods
from the street stand to the store and put
ting clerk in charge of the store kept it
open for business all day.
SIMPSONS CREDITORS
Sampson owed j. S. Collins & Co. about
81, 800, of which 81 900 of the debt was for
fire works purchased on the Tuesday before
Christmas, and the greater part of which
purchase was disposed of, no part of the
purchase money having been paid. Collins
& Co. in addition to the bill of sale have
been given transfer of all accounts due
Sampson, but they do not amount to much.
Mr.. Collins said yesterday that his firm will
lose about $1,000.
In addition to the above creditors, it is
said that the Savannah steam bakery will
be out some $500 or $500, Solomons & Co.
about the same amount, Simon Gazau $3.50,
A. H. Champion SPA, and several other
creditors smaller amounts.
Mr.. Collins said that Mr.. Sampson could
not or would not, tell how much had been
distracted from his safe, except to say that
1t was the receipts of three days. The safe
was intact, and the combination was not
damaged

QUESTIONS THAT WERE NOT ANSWERED ZOE TM
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON. April 2s.-In the course Of his en-
animation before the. Manufactures COMMITTEES
to-day, Mr.. Archibald, of the Standard Oil Com
pany, admitted that number Of small oil manu-
factories had been dismanled after their purchase
by the Standard Oil Company. He stated that
persons who had owned and operated individual
plants had in instances been taken into the en-
ploy Of the Standard after their concerns had been
bought up He did not believe that such persons
were paid salaries as high as $4,000, but when
Mr. Gowen directed his inquiry toward specific
case, tho witness refused positively to give any
information in regard to tho salaries paid by tho
Standard Oil Company. f
Benjamin Brewster, Of New York. vice-presidens
Of the National Trust Company, the next witness,
was not communicative, in many cases replying to
questions intended TO show the past and present
rates of transportation of oil and similar matters
by saying that he had no personal knowledge.
When he was asked TO tell who held the per cent
of the stock Of the Transit Company not controlled
by the Standard OH Company, the witness de-
clined to answer.
The chairman ruled that he must answer the
question, but the witness said that 1t was an at
tempt to probe into private matters, which was
not called for, and he therefore persisted in biz
refusal to answer.
Referring to the testimony of the witness Kirk
relative to the conflict between en- the ProduceFs
Brewster said that the Standard Oil Company
never had and never intended to mako market
or price for crude oil In answer to ironical
remark by Mr. Smith upon the innocence Of such
business men as managed the Standard Oil Com.

dence Of the company. lie said: You VIII IND
1t is very innocent. l am one Of those men who
do not believe that sharp practice makes money.
l believe that no set Of men can interrupt Tia
action of the laws of trade"
When the witnesses examination had becn con,

THE WHISKEY RING AT WASHINGTON.
ITS WORK AMONG DEMOCRATIC STATESMEN SHOULD
BE INVESTIGATED.

BE INVESTIGATED.
WASHINGTON, April % lSpeciap.-The House
Committee on Manufactures which is engaged in
an investigation of Trusts chiefly for the pur
pose of gathering material for the use Of Demo-
cratic members of the Ways and Means has not
vet shown any desire or disposition to look into
the Whiskey Trust which is strongly represented
in Washington during every session Of Congress-
For ten years tho whiskey ring has controlled the
action Of Democrats In the House and prevented
any reduction Of the tax. The Whisl1ey Trust con-
trolls 90 per cent Of tho whiskey product and It's
holdings are said to be valued at $500, 900, 600.
It can afford to support expensive staff OF
lobbyists OF the National capital and TO make lib
eral contributions to Democratic campaign funds.
IL Is pretty well understood that moro than one
Democrat owes his seat in the National Legislature
to its aid IL significant editorial in " The
National Republican of to-day is based on trust
worthy information, as 1t seems to be, the gener-
osty Of the whiskey ring is not confined to poht-
zeal contributions alone. One passage reads as
follows:
The ring has its headquarters Washington Its most
defenders and advocates sit under the shadow OF the
dome OF the Capitol whenever tho dag is flying that
nounces either Congress in session Its members
remain on the outside speculate In real estate in partner
ship with the wives OF their friends invest In
handsome residences for others.
A thorough investigation probably would lead
to some Developments which would be more inter-
estng to the general public than agreeable to
certain Democratic statesmen.
