The Title Guarantee and Loan Com
pany and its Purposes.
A meeting Of the subscribers to the CAPT
tai stock of the Title Guarantee and Loan
Company of Savannah is called for Tues
day evening Feb. 49, at Metropolitan Hall,
for the purpose of organizing under The
terms of its charter, and the election of a
Board of Directors. The capital stock OF
the corporation is fixed at 500, 900, a great
part of which has been taken.
The remaining stock is sought after, and
will probably be placed before the date
fixed for the organization. This company will
help largely TO develop the resources OF
Savannah by enabling land owners to give
uuquestionable titles and affording facili-
ties for borrowing money upon real estate
security with the same ease attending SINH
lar transactions with personal property,
stocks and bonds.
Upon the completion of its organization
the Title Guarantee Company will virtually
become an indorser of the titles offered 10
banks and capitalists as security for loans,
and thus enable such transactions to be
effected promptly and with safety to all
concerned.
It's sources of income will be the invest
mCnt of its capital stock and the premiums
derived from guarantee of titles, and the
transaction OF other classes of business
permitted under its charter

TIE WEEK AT THE THEATRE.
Prof. BristoPs Eques-Curriculum Il
Hold the Boards.

Prof. Bristol's eques-curriculum will be
the attraction at the theatre during Jasper
week The entertainments are something
out of the usual order Prof. Bristol closes
n weeks engagement in Augusta tonight,
and he was in Charleston last week. The
name-eques-curriculum a puzzle to
many people. They don't know what it
means. A Charleston newspaper man says
that it is simply impossible TO explain in
print what it does mean. The name in the
first place is calculated to appal the average
theatre-goer 1t is a good classlcal-com-
pound, it smacks of the circus but it
utterly fails to give one an idea
of the performance that is Of
fered. Speaking of the opening
performance in Charleston the NerS and
Courier said: "When the curtain was rung
up there was what is described III newspaper
criticism, as a fairly good audience. The
stage revealed troop of twenty or more
horses, mules, ponies and mustangs. The
scenery had been cleared away, and the
stage was covered with sawdust, while a
thin wire fence extended across the pro
scenium. A few moments later Prof Bris-
tOl entered and, in the 'twlnkling of an
eyen every horse, mule, pony and mustang
had fallen into line on the north side of the
stage. There they remained while the
Professor explained his process OF training
and intimated briefly what he ex-
pected the animals to do.
To describe the performance would be to
convey a very faint idea of what was done.
The audience was first amused, then amazed,
and finally dazed 1t was impossible to tell
where instinct ended and reason began. y
Horses were made to do almost everything
that man can do. To say that a horse went
through arithmetical calculations in add
ton, subtraction, multiplication ond divi-
sion does not convey an idea of "Mattie's'
performance. Examples were given by the
Professor which were correctly answered
and then the audience offered examples
which were accurately worked out To say
that bind horse stepped into a swing and
was swung does not tell what was done 70
see a horse get into a swing and swing him
seH is something that no one can under
stand until he sees the thing with his eyes.
At each act the audience was treated to a
revelation, and when the curtain fell at the
close of the last act people found it difficult
to realize that they had been sitting for
three hours looking at a horse show.

THE JASPER SPRING.
The Scene of Cne Of Jasper's Most Oar
ing Deeds.

The Scene of Cne of Jasper's Most OAR
ing Deeds.
About two miles from the city on the Au-
gusta road and directly opposite the en-
trance to the fair grounds, is the little road
side spring made famous by Sergt. Jasper
and his companion Sergt. Newton. This
spot was at one time favorite resort Of
Savannahians. but Of late years 1t appears
TO have been almost forgotten. On Wednes-
day the cavalry tilt takes place at the race
track only a couple OF hundred yards dis
tant and it would be emin"ntly appropprl-
ate for the owner of the property or
the committee in charge OF the
Festival to have the spring and its
surroundings put in good order, if they
have not already received attention, and
make the place attractive to those who pro
pose to spend the ternooon in that vicinity.
There is no event in the history Of the
American revolution which shows the de
votion Of the people 70 the cause Of liberty
more than the event which took place at
the little roadside spring.

BADLY Injured.


ATHENS, GA, Feb 1s.-Lewis Russell, a
student Of the University of Georgia, met
with a painful and perhaps fatal accident
this morning while on his way to his home,
a few miles from town. Mr.. Russell was
riding in four-mule wagon, and as the
team turned Blairsville, about two miles
from town, the wagon ran into large hole,
which tilted it TO one side. Mr.. Russell at
tempted to catch, but in his desire not to
tax his left arm. which had recently been
broken he lost his balance and fell to the
ground. The front wheel of the heavy
wagon passed over his chest, while the hind
wheel went over his stomach. He
was picked up and carried TO his
home and medical aid summoned.
His physician stated that he sustained
several Commissions, probably laceration of
the liver and fracture of the lower ribs of
the right side. Mr.. Russell is in a very
critical condition, and his recovery depends
on developments which will appear within
the next few DAYS

Still Bangs Fire.
MACON, GA, Feb 1s.-Judge Gustin
issued an order to-day deferring the hearing
of the argument on the motion for new
trial in the Voolfolk murder case until Feb.
%, and he suspended execution of the sen
tence of death until the motion could be
heard and determined. Voolfolk desires
very much TO be taken back to Atlanta.
He thinks his chances for escape are better
there than here.
The dummy line received black eye to-
day The Council inserted in the contra CT
several restricting clauses. Among them is
one reserving the right TO declare when the
road becomes obnoxious and dangerous.
The dummy line folks do not wish the
Council to have the arbitrary right and
privilege of determining when the road is
hobnoxious and dangerous" They say this
should be decided by the courts and not
seven Aldermen who, on the complaint of
one citizen, might declare that the road
must be abandoned.
FEAR A CORRUPT COUNCIL.
There NAV be two citizens who think the
road obnoxious and dangerous" while 2, 900
might think that it was not, and a corrupt
or unwise council in the future might listen
10 the voice Of the minority instead of the
majority and pass an arbitrary ruling
killing the road. ANY citizen could have a
right to enJoin the road and the matter
could thus be brought up in the
courts and not left to the council
They say the section is a species
Of class legislation calculated to damage the
interest of the city in that it will choke off
future enterprises and that the road should
operate under the general law of the land.

build the road under the circumstances
