The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't gsfar. The purchasing
power OF dollar now is something surpris-
ing, SIMPLY because there are more dollars
than trade. Ia word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new IDEAS new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we 1OiH sell very
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver tabls ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornJnent we offer a line par excellence C
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give nOtU. They
will keep, and you will save money.

TAKEN BACK TO CAROLINA.
After Nine Years Paul Gaillard Is to Be
Put on Trial for Assault.

After Nine Years Paul Gaillard Is to Be
Put on Trial for Assault. -
Paul Gaillard alias Frank Gillens, who
was arrested here, charged with being one
of the principals in a murderous assault
upon the old Italian fisherman in Berkeley
county, South Carolina, was taken from
the Jail last night by the South Carolina
sheriff on a requisitiOn from Gov. Gordon,
and was taken back to the scene of the as
sault.
Gaillard not only disclaims any connec-
ton with the assault, but he says that he
was present at dance when the assault was
committed, and that he will have no trouble
in establishing an ahbi. The offense was
committed nine years ago, and he says the
warrant was not sworn out for ten days
after the preparation of the crime, and
that when his friends counseled him
to leave, claiming that he was likely
to be mobbed, he refused to go, and only
left after being impressed by the arguments
of his friends that he would not be granted
a fair trial. Then he went to the neighbOr-
hood of Charleston where he worked nine
days and earned the money to come to Sa-
vannah. Here he was very industrious,
working at the Ocean Steamship wharves,
and part of the time run on the steamer
David Clark. Since coming to Savannah
he married, and has a family of three or
four children.
He says that he never consented to waive
any of his rights, but, on the contrary,
employed w. W. Osborne, ESQ. as his
counsel, and on his attorneys advice he
refused to go back to South Carolina with
out the proper requisition papers were
obtained by the South Carolina authorities
He expects to employ counsel to-day in
Berkeley county.

Effect of the Quarantine in Florida
The Live Oak Scare.

The MORNING NEWS has received letters
from several points in Florida complaining
OF the rapid advance in the price OF the
necessities OF life One letter stated that
merchants had advanced prices so much
that it appeared as though war times had
returned and that greenbacks had lost the
greater part of their value. There is
undoubtedly scarcity Of supplies
in certain parts of Florida, as the people
have quarantined so thoroughly as 10 cut
themselves off from the rest of the world.
This state of affairs, however, will bring its
own cure, as the necessities will soon cause
modlhcatlons in the quarantine regulations,
and then goods will be rushed into those
sections where prices have gone up
A party in this city is now loading train
of ten cars with goods of all kinds. on an
order from a merchant in a Florida town.
1t was reported last night that Orange
county had withdrawn from the compact
entered into on Tuesday by the health
boards of South Florida, regarding the
through freight and passenger service in
that section. 1t is to be hoped that the re-
port is not correct, as the necessity for some
such arrangement as that proposed by the
conference is daily becoming more appar-
emit.

The South Carolina Authorities Refuse

covich and rifled the money drawers, but
that he divided the spoils. He has given
the officer the name of the otter man, told
him where he lives and all the cir
cumstances connected with the robbery

said last night that he is confident that
arrangements with the South Carolina au-
thorlties will be made within the coming
week for Roland's return to Savannah, and
that Officer McDermott. will succeed in
bringing the fugitive to justice. Young
Corcovich's condition is not improved. He

ceived.
