standard time, tomorrow morning, and it
IS expected to carry from 1000 to $500
people, all employees and their families. A

| shelter the immense crowd who will attend.

The management of the Central railroad
has inaugurated these annual excursions
for the benefit Of the employees, whose
hard services in the interest of the company
are appreciated This custom of giving the
employees and their families their annual
ride was inaugurated by General Manager
Belknap and Supt. He ge on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, when they were
connected with that system, and this little
attention to the employees made these Off
Gals justly popular with all organizations
which have extended to the Central.
The train will stop at all the stations be-
tween Savannah and Guyton to take up the
employees and their families living at these
points. The train leaves at a. m. and re-
turning will leave Oliver at $3.50 p. m. A

IT WAS A BAD CHARGE.
David Harrison Acquitted Of Assault
ing Mrs. Alice Low.

ing Mrs Alice Low.
Justice McDermott's Office was blocked
up with Frogtown people yesterday David
R. Harrison, an employe in the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway was arraigned
on the charge Of criminal assault on Mrs.
Alice Low, wife Of Oliver Low, a watch
man at the Savannah Cotton Mills. Mrs.
Low was repre- ented by Geo. w. Owens,
Esq. w. w. Osborne, Esq, appeared for
the defendant. A warrant was issued for
Harrison during the latter part of
last week, but the officer was unable
to find him at home, and
it was.not until Saturday night that Harri-
son showed up. He went to the magis-
trate's Office and gave himself up, but was
released on bond pending an examination.
The case was the talk Of Frogtown, and
it was well advertised. Friends of both the
prosecutor and prosecuted were at the ex-
animation.
Mrs. Low, her grandmother, Mrs. Strick-
land, an elderly woman, and Mr.. Collins,
the father of the prosecutor, accompanied
by friends. occupied the private Office of
Justice McDermott, while Harrison sat in
the rear of the office with his sister. Mrs.
Scott. and Mr.. Lane.
Mrs. Low was the first witness put upou
the stand. If the care had been permitted to
rest at the close of her testimony Harrison
would have been turned over to a higher
court and would doubtless have been con-
victed. When the young woman's grand
mother was put on the stand she contra
dicted part of the statement of her grand
daughter. The father of the young woman
was next sworn. and he claimed
that he endeavored to- settle the mat
ter before it got into the court. He said
that he tried to effect a settlement peacea-
bly,. He told Harrison that it could be set
tied for $40 or Sl2. Mr.. Osborne introduced
Harrison. His testimony was in large
measure corroborated by his sister and Mrs.
Scott who were in a house on Wilson
street, second door from Little Jones street,
just across from the house of Mrs. Low, at
the time watching young Harrison. An
open window in Mrs LOWS house enabled
them TO see what was going on. They tes-
titled that no criminal act was committed,
nor even attempted. Mr.. Lane, an en-
ploye in the Southern Cotton Oil Mills was
sworn, which closed the evidence.
After the argument was concluded Harri-
son did not have to suffer a painful sus-
pense by a review of the testimony by the
magistrate, and Mrs. Law knew in less
than half minute that she had lost her
case. Justice McDermott promptly dis
missed it. Many persons, eager to see the
last Of it, stood around the office, half ex-
pecting to see a scrlmmage between the
parties at law, but the crowd dispersed
without any trouble

ANXIOUS ABOUT HIS MONEY.
The Man Robbed in Crawford Square
Gives His Version of the Affair.

The Man Robbed in Crawford Square
Gives His Version of the Affair.
David Lott, the Coffee county cattle
dealer who was garroted in Crawford
square week before last, writing from
Braxton, complains that it is a mystery to
the people in his section how he was relieved
of nearly $780, He fears stigma has been
put upon his character and that he is broke
and ruined if it is not removed. He does
not want the people to think he was drink
ing or in bad company. He says that he
expects to be in Savannah again soon with
stock. He explains that he was on
his way to the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway depot, and when
assaulted by white man and two negroes
no would have resisted had his life not been
threatened, and he preferred to let the
money go rather than his life He says if
he had not chung to one of the trees in the
square he would have been thrown down.
and possibly violence would have been done
him, but that whom he let the garroters take
his money they went away without any
further overt act. He is very anxious to
know if any trace of his money has been
discovered, but Detective Wetherhorn said
last night that none Of it has been recov-
erad

DENTISTS AT THE BEACH.
The State Dental Society Begins 1t
Annual Meeting at Tvbee.

The State Dental Society Begins It's
Annual Meeting at Tybee.
The Georgia State Dental Society began
its twenty annual session at the Ocean
house at Tybee yesterday. The meeting
was called to order by Dr. s. H. White, presi-
dent of the society. AS is customary the
opening session was chiefly occupied with
routine business-the payment of annual
dues, the election of new members recon-
mended by the executive committee, filling
vacancies in important committees, etc.
meeting of the state examining board
was held A number Of candidates under
went the severe examinations and tests Of
ability and capacity to which, by the state
laws, they must submit before being per-
mitted to enter upon the practice of dent
istry. In no other state than Georgia,
probably, are the examinations so severe
and the tests so exactiDg, even the posses
sion of diploma from the best colleges not
exempting practitioners from examination.
A resolution was adopted by which the
morning sessions from $50 TO IL 80 o'clock
will be devoted to the reading and discussion
of scientific papers and the reports of the
various committees. The afternoons will
be given up entirely to clinics and the
practical demonstration, by the best opera
tors in the state, and by others invited
from various parts of the country, because
of their special skill in certain lines of
work. The various methods of filling cavi-
ties in decayed teeth, with all the different
materials now in use, plate work, bridge
work, crown work, the use Of new instru-
ments and appliances, etc, will be demon
trated.
The attendance is largo and the meeting
promises to be one of unusual interest.

CLOSED PROMPTLY AT $50.
The Dry Goods Statesmen Got Off Early
Last Night.

Last Night.
Last night was virtually the first test of
the early closing movement. The clerks
got out about Gas o'clock Very few in
stances were reported where the ladies
called after 6 O'clock as the appeals made
through the press and public seem to have
shaped public sentiment among the ladies
to do nothing to interfere with the closing
of the stores at $50 o'clock.
One instance is reported where two
women called at one of the dry goods stores
and one of them asked to be wal ed on after
$50 o'clock, but the proprietor courteously
but firmly declined to accede to the request,
which was followed by demand but the
proprietor stated that he had signed an
agreement to close at $3.50 o'clock, and could
not violate his pledge without acting in
bad faith.
Instances were very rare where ladies
called after o'clock. At one of the larg-
est dry goods stores on Broughton street
Monday night four white and thirty-seven
colored women applied to be waited on
after that hour but at the same store last
night but two white and seven colored per-
sons applied. The dry goods merchants
were very firm, not being disposed to let
very few prevent carrying out a move
ment which has been so widely endorsed by
the better class of the shopping trade

STABBED HIS BRoTHER-IN-LAw.
A Jury Acquits Edward Rose of the
Assault.


An interesting case occupied the entire
session of the superior court yesterday, re-
sulting last night in verdict of acquittal
for Edward Rose, the defendant, who was
tried for an assault with intent to murder
Henry johnson, his brother-iaw. The prin-
cipals are colored.
1t appeared that johnson, who, at the
time of the assault was undergoing chain
gang sentence for carrying concealed
weapons on a charge preferred by his wife,
came to the city as trusty, got full of
liquor, and in that condition visited the
house or his mother-in-law on Lum-
Der street, where his wife was staying,
and insisted on seeing her. The brother of
Johnson's wife, Edward Rose, objected, in
the condition of johnson, and barred in
gress to the house. In the alteration which
ensued, Rose used knife on johnson.
1t was shown on the trial that Johnson's
wife had visited him while he was on the
chain-gang, and had taken delica-
cies TO him, and had written
him affectionate letters, which were pro-
duced and read by the state, to show that
she wanted to see her husband.
johnson, who is claimed to have been
cruel to his wife, has not lived with her
since he has been released from the chain
gang. His wife's family are respectable
colored people, while johnson is dissipated,
and ugly when in his cups. The jury was
not out twenty-five minutes, when they
came in with verdict of not guilty.

a note saying he thought he would be out
to-day. Judge Falligant directed message
to be sent to Mr.. Carr not to come out too
early. He added that the clerk ought to be
given a vacation to recuperate, and If there
was no other way to induce the clerk to
take the rest which his condition demanded
he would issue an order to that effect.

A wRATHY REFUGEE.
How He Punished an Informer in 6
Justices Office Yesterday.

How He Punished an Informer in q
Justices Office Yesterday.
When thieves fall out lively developments
usually follow. A row in Yamacraw yes
terday resulted in the arrest of an escaped
prisoner from the Augusta chain-gang. 1t
seems that a negro named Lewis snatched a
10-cent piece from a colored woman, and
made off with it, pursued by an excited
crowd, among which was a colored man by
the name of Edward Turner, who inter
copied the refugee and knocked him down.
LAWN, breathing out threatenings and
revenge, went to Justice Naughtin's office
and informed Detective Wetherhorn
that Turner is a refugee from
the Augusta chain-gang, to which
he had been sentenced for an assault upo N
a policeman. Turner was thereupon ar
rested, and while he was sitting in Justice
Naughtin's office awaiting the writing out
of a commitment, LAWN came in and rather
boastfully alluded to Turner's arrest, and
said that Turner was the bully of Augusta
Quick as flash Turner was on his feet
and before the officer could interfere, Tur-
ner planted heavy blow with his fist
squarely in LAWNS mouth. which brought
the blood freely, and made LAWN see a
galaxy of stars in an imaginary sky. The
blow was so powerful that Turner split open
one of the knuckles of his hand, and sent
LAWN to the floor. Turner did not follow
up the advantage, but quietly resumed his
seat, and turning to Officer Wetherhorn
coolly said: "Now / am ready to go back to
Augusta" The authorities have been COM
municated with, and will doubtless come
down to-day or tomorrow for the
refugee.

THE SAVINGS BANKS
Effected by the Real Estate Move
ment.

ment.
1t is not strange that many persons who
have been in the habit of making monthly
deposits in the savings banks should cease
doing so. There are very few communities
more thrifty than ours. This is evidenced
by the large sums deposited monthly in the
several savings banks, loan associations,
real estate companies and similar institu
tions. 1t would surprise even those who
think they are well informed were they to
know anything like the exact figures.
Since owners of vacant property have con-
sented to sell on more liberal terms than
they used TO, these institutions have felt
the effect very sensibly. There is not 50
much money being deposited now as
formerly. The idea has been Caught on"
to, one class even depositing and getting 4
per cent. per annum; another class was
lending out the same money at per cent.
per annum, payable monthly; still another
class were borrowing the same money at 8
per cent. per annum, buying land, keeping
1t as long as they could, then sell at prof
of from so to 100 per cent. per annum.
The depositors have become purchasers
now, and propose to get more interest than
4 per cent. per annum. Thus does wisdom
come to some people after much experience.
