Now a General Agent.

Mr.. Julian Schley, SO long and we'll
known in the insurance business here, has
been appointed as the general agent of the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Philadelphia for South and Southwest
Georgia and Florida. During his tenure as
local agent for the company he amply dem
onstrated his fitness to act for it over the
large territory assigned him.
Mr.. Schley returned a few days ago from
a trip to Cleveland, where he attended the
annual meeting of the general agents of the
Penn company. They had delightful time
at that city. The agents of the other COM
panies in the city rendered them the unusual
honor of a banquet. The regular Penn
banquet was also had, one feature of which
was the presence of twenty millionaire
policy holders of the company, who repre-
scented the insurers. Mr.. Schley was one of
the speech makers From there he went to
the headquarters at Philadelphia.

The largest dividends ever paid to the
patrons of any establishment was paid by
B. H. Levy & Bro, one of the largest cloth
ing firms in Savannah, in the way of giving
each and every one of their numerous
patrons chance on summer goods at half
price, and nearly every one made good use
of the opportunity.
Never before were there such liberal offers
made and carried out, and that it was ap-
preciated by the public was shown by the
large patronage that the house had during
the sales
Look out for their next weeks pro-
gramme, which will appear in the local
columns of this paper, of ano her racket,
such as was never had here before, and
every one that will take notice thereof will
secure good bargain or another dividend
on the money they have spent with them
during the year. They are determined to
close out everything in the way of Summer
Goods, and are prepared to meet the loss
cheerfully.
Their quarters not being quite large enough
for their growing business, they must sell
out clean in order to make room for one Of
the Finest Stocks of Winter Goods that
ever came to Savannah. Again we say.

this week, and call and secure burgains. -

CHASING A FAT PocKErRooK.
a Savannah Drummer's Forgetfuln ees
Causes Him Much Worry.

"a CdVhnndn
Causes Him Much Worry.
S. A Borders, Savannah travelling man,
had an unpleasant experience Thursday
morning while en- route 10 ThomasviIle on
the Albany express.
Mr.. Borders occupied berth in the
sleeper from Savannah, which goes to Live
Oak, Fla. via Dupont. The train reaches
Dupont about $3.50 a. m, and passengers for
points west Of that junction have to get
out Of the sleeper at this early and IN
timely hour.
Mr.. Borders. with two Chicago drummers,
also en- route for Townsville, was awakened
by the porter and got up aud dressed
hurriedly and left the car about half awake
and forgot his pOcketbook, containing $3.50
in currency, which he had placed between
the mattress and pillow in his berth the
night before, when retiring. He did not
discover his loss until tue train reached
Dixie, fifty miles beyond Dupont. Mean
while, the sleeper was jogging along on the
Gainesville division, in the direction OF Live
Oak. Borders feelings can be imagined
better than described. However, tele-
gram was at once sent to the sleeping car
porter at Live Oak, also one to the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway agent at
that point, reporting the loss, and request
ing an immediate search of the car.
Inc sltuaJlon was com llchLeu DIV Ine IacJ
that there was no conductor on the sleeper,
only the negro porter in charge. While 1t
is economical and thrifty in Mr.. Pullman to
run his cars on some lines without con-
ductors, and with merely a c0lored porter
in command, it is not cheerful to realize,
as Mr.. Borders did. that the only thing
which stood between him and the loss of
his $3.50 was the honesty Of the
porter. About II o'clock, how
ever, Borders was made happy
by the receipt of a telegram,
saying that the money was safe, the
porter having duly found il in putting up
the berth. Mr.. Borders went down on the
next train TO Dupont and met the sleeper on
its return trip to Savannah Thursday night,
and recovered his lost pockerbook. The
porter was duly rewarded for his honesty.

was on its way 10 the city
from Lazaretto creek, where it
had taken pile driver The 6:l0 o'clock
passenger train from Tybee was also on its
way TO the city, the construction train run

10 the turn out just beyond the depot. so as
TO let the passenger go by. He was run

he saw a man and a woman walking on the
track about half a mile east of the new

fhe woman. who was colored, stepped
from the track, but the man, who was a
peddler, was apparently deaf, as he did
not attempt to get off the track, and the
train could not be stopped before the engine
struck him. hurting him about ten feet in
the air and off the track. The body, after
it struck the ground, rolled down an en-
bankment into ditch alongside Of the
track. The contents of the peddler's pack,
which consisted Of blankets, clothing, linen
and calicoes, were scattered along the track
for about fifty yards
Engineer Mahoney, as soon as he had got
his train on the turnout, reported the acct
dent to the Waterman at the Tybee depot,
who in turn telephoned the police barracks
and the coroner, but nothing was done
towards removing the body, aud it lay all
night in the ditch where il fell, almost
covered with water
No one knew the man or anything about
him, and it is believed that he was Greek
or Syrian peddler of whom there are
several in the surrounding counties selling
dry goods, clothing and cheap jewelry.
The coroner will look after the body this
morning, when an inquest will be held.

THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF.
Lightning Plays Havoc at the Electric
Light Works.

Light works.
A violent thunderstorm swept over the
city late yesterday afternoon. Clouds
gathered, and at o'clock the thunderstorm
burst. The rain poured down in shests,
accompanied by exceedingly vivid light
ming, with heavy crashes of thunder. The
lightoing flashes and The thunder peals fol-
lowed in rapid Secession.
AFTER or5 u the vivid flashes the electric
lights 10 the business portion of the city
vent out. The MORNING NEWS building,
the Pulaski and ScreYen houses, the court
house and business houses on the Bay and
Congress and Broughton streets were in
darkness. Shortly afterward all the incan-
descent lights in the city went out A
MORNING NEWS reporter inquired at the
electric lights works as to the cause of
the lights being shut OFF, and the damage
caused by the storm. One of the dynamos
supplying the incandescent lights burnt out,
and the wires of the dynamo are all twisted
out of place. The other dypamos supplying
the incandescent lights were Immediately
shut off TO prevent their possibly burning
out by the lightning.
The lightning played many freaks at the
works, entering at almost every flash. The
dynamos supplying the arc lights have not
been affected by any Of the thunder-stormS
this summer, as they are protected by a
different lightning arrester from that used
on the incandescent dynamos. New light
ming arresters of an improved pattern have
just been received for the incandescent
dynamos and they will be placed in position
Immediately.
There was no damage by the storm at the
telegraph offices but the telephone exchange
reported several wires burned out The
keyboard at the exchange was disconnected
when the storm begun, as a precaution.
Business was just closing up at that hour
for the day, and calls were coming in con-
tinually, and business men were greatly in
convenienced, but it was unavoidable.
