dering around Bryan street in the neigh
borhood of the market, followed by another
white man, who was acting in a rather su.
picious manner. The officers started toward
them. when the fellow who was following
the countrymen took TO his heels. Both
countrymen we're little the worse for
liquor, and one CT them carried a sachel.
Officer Cronin took the men in charge,
and after trying to secure lodgings for them
in several places, took both to the barracks
as dodgers. On being questioned BY Sergt.
killourhy, Strickland, who was the less in
toxicated of the pair, said they were from
Tattnau county and arrived in the city

lodgings.
The sergeant requested them to turn over
their personal property for safe keeping.

Brown gave up 1926 06 besides the sachel,
ana as he was unusually slow about
finding 1t, Sergt. Killourhy told him if he
desired to keep his money he could
do SO at his own risk. Brown leaned over
the rail and said: That's all right, sir; I've
been here before"

Brown said he would much rather have a
drink, but as he could not be accommodated

Wrekced OF Bermuda.

The Norwegian Bark Vesta Nearly
Wrekced OF Bermuda.
The Norwegian bark Vesta, which put
into Tybee$leaking Friday, arrived up to
the city night before last She encountered
terrific gale on Nov. 30 in latitude 80,
longitude 81, off Bermuda, in which the
vessel labored heavily for six hours and had
her port bulwarks carried away, the
stanchions on her port and starboard sides
opened, her buttes and seams on port and
starboard sides, and deck on port
and starboard sides and water
ways opened, her starboard cathead swept
off and one port started.
Her knighthead was started on both sides,
as was the starboard hause pipe. Her rud-
derhead was strained and started. Her
starboard lightstand was strained and dam
aged, one door of the forecastle was gone,
the cabin door was smashed, the port step to
the quarter deck on the port side carried
away, the starboard forecastle steps gone
and the main yard broken. The maintop-
sail sheets broke loose and the lower topsails
were blown away. as was the flying jib.
During all this time the vessel was

THE SURPRISE MATRRIALIz as.
Ludden & Bates Birthday Party
Throng5 Attend.


Throng5 Attend.
1t is pretty we'll understood by this time
that when Ludden & Bates Southern Music
House advertises thing that thing may be
looked for exactly as represented. Yester-
day gave emphatic evidence to that effect.
A grand holiday display, to celebrate the
twentieth year of the houses existence-and
a grand display it was-surpassing anything
ever before attempted by L. & B.
The main floor, with its new arrangement,
excited much admiration. The verdict was
unanimous TO the effect thst the changes
have added immensely not only to the COM
fort of the working force, but to the beauty
of the store. The new double staircase lead
ing to tho galleries was most tastefully dec
Grated with palms and festoons of moss and
cedar, and the names of Chickering and
Mason 81 Hamlin were conspicuously
adorned with bay and magnolia leaves. In
the show windows, which were made bril-
liant with pianos in fancy wood cases, richly
embroidered piano scarfs, ETC., ETC., were
the words, "Merry Christmas," III ever
green.
The main piano room on the second floor
of the building was fairly jammed with
pianos Of all styles. from the most modest
square to the most richly ornamented
grands. Especially noticeable were the ar
tistic cases In oak, walnut, mahogany and
rosewood.
During the afternoon and evening Cobb'i
orchestra furnished music Of high order,
and proved great attraction to the crowds
of visitors.
But the most unique attractions were
those Of which no previous announcement
had been made.
L. g. B. had secured an Edison phono-
graph and presented all the lady visitors
with a solo by Levy, the cornetist, selec-
ton by the Marine band, or some other
equally interesting number.
Those interested in violins wers greatly
delighted by the display of q S25, 900 collec-
ton of old violins belonging to Prof. e. A.
Won der Hoya of this city. Among these
was famous viola by Nicolas Amati val
ued at So, 0O0 and a genuine Stainer violin
valued at 1000. This is one of the fines;
collections of genuine examples of the old
masters to be found in this country and will
repay the trouble Of visit.
There we're also some curiosities among
the pianos; notably a Chickering marked
1928, contrasted with Chickering OF 1890
Also an example of the earliest style of up
right piano, such as few persons now living
| have seen.
Altogether Messrs. Ludden & Bates are
TO be congratulated upon a most brilliant
and successful display.
The holiday exhibit will continue for
some days longer, and Cobb's orchestra will
| furnish music from 3 to and to 10 this
evening. The photograph and the Won del
Hoya collection of violins will also be re-
tanned for some days.-Ad.
