AT TIE COURTS.

the Court Rooms.

Gossip Picked Up Hero and There In
the Court Rooms.
The superior court begins the March
term tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Fred Rudolph, notorious oolored crook,
was run down yesterday by Detective
Wetherhorn for stealing a chest Of tools
from A. 0. Edwards. Justice Naughtin
committed Rudolph to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury Of the superior
court.
Harry Mitchell, young colored man,
was committed to Jail yesterday Justice
Naug htin, for forging the name of another
colored man to thirty-dsy note for a
small amount.
The total fines in the police court yester-
day morning amounted to $50.
The statement in Yesterdays MORNING
NEWS may have suggested the idea that
Mr. NJ. \. Maclntyre was sued in the case
Of Pferdmenges, Preyer & Co. VS.. G. C.
Campbell. This would be an error. The
firm of NJ Y. a. D. /. MacIntyre WAS

fendant IN their hands as his factors. one Of
the firm signed as surety bond to dissolve
the garnishment given by the defendant

Editor Morning Netos: WIN you kindly
allow me space for few lines in your pa
per!
In to-day's issue of the NEWS appears an
article headed, "Beautify the Squares and
Streets" an article which / am sure every
good citizen of Savannah is heartily in
sympathy with. have Travelled a great
deal. and have seen nearly every city of
beauty and renow wa on both continents, and
if therefor my judgment is OF any value, /
must say that Savannah is one Of the most
attractive and pretties5 cites it ever was
nv good luck to behold; and yet, in her
original, for she is original, and semi-trop-
ical appeara ice, she could be made more
beautiful and attractive still by taking
more care of the gTass-clad squares, and by
adding a few trees and some flowers here
and there.
1t can be done. In Copenhagen, the
Athens of Northern Europe, possibly the
most beautiful and clean city in all the old
world Il mean modern cities, the hand
soonest flowers, the most beautiful grass and
magnificent trees greet the eve OF the be-
holder in every direction; and if this can be
the case in cold little Denmark, why not in
the beautiful, warm and sunny southf
Savannah is rich in memories OF historic
value. She is city that her Inhabitants
may well love and be proud of-the greatest
seaport and the Empire city of the south.
As such thousands OF strangers flock to her
each and every year.
And as good citizens we ought to do
whatever we can, with hearty good will,
to make her just as attractive as we can.
Thanks to kind providence, we have
mayor who already has accomplished
great, great deal for our city. Why not, Mr..
Mayor and gentleman of the city council,
take steps to protect our squares, to plant
few trees wherever they are needed, aud
sprinkle few flowers among the green
velvet carpets here and there9
Every good citizen is with you, and am
perfectly sure that Savannah can accom-
plish fully as much as any other city on Ihe
face of the great American continent
Respectful, law-abiding citizens will always

and the play the Kansas City Times recently
said: 1.-THE familiar piece is kept in ex-
cellent order, and age seems to bring no
objectionable wrinkles. The staging and
costumes are all that people have learned to
expect in this production, while the princi-
pal characters are well handled. Miss Patti
Stone is the Evangslins, and looks the
part almost ideally, and is furthermore
possessed Of good, ringing soprano voice.
Miss Geraldine McCann is Gabriel Of
especial attraetiveness of face and form.
Mr.. Naffit, inimitable as the Lone Fisher
man. is retained. The new Catherine, ,
Richard Harlow, is graceful and humor-
ous success. Mr.. Jere McAuliffe is a good

The Christ Church Concerts.

The organ concerts at Christ church
Thursday and Friday nights by Frederic
Archer, the celebrated English organist.
assisted by leading Savannah vocalists,
will be interesting concerts. The now organ
in Christ church will then be heard for
the first time. Mr.. Archer's ability and
resources as master OF the organ are I'M
questionable, and his power of making that
grandest of instruments do its best is. even
to the uninitiated, 4 source of wonder.
1t does not take long after he begins to
play to realize that he is a master of the
seldom fully mastered art of organ playing.
Thousands of people hear an organ every
Sunday in church and never really know
what organ music and organ playing is
until they hear Archer play. He is beyond
doubt the greatest of living organists, and
Savannah is fortunate in being able to hear
him.

CALLS FOR HIS MONEY
EX-Gov. Marshall Files an
Important Suit in the
Courts,
In Which Grave Charges Are
Made Against E. r. Gill
man,
Well Known as the President
Of the Northwest Elec-
trio Company.
The Transfer Of Realty in
New York and st. Paul

William r. Marshall has begun an &C
ton against Edward r. Gilman to re-
cover $25. 900. The basis of the action is
trade i'll real estate and the plaintiff
claims that misrepresentation were
made to him. Mr.. Marshall owned real
estate in St Paul, one lot of which had
a mortgage for $4,000 thereon and was
worth $1,000 above the mortgage. He
also owned other st. Paul real estate
worth $1,000 and note, signed by Z. S.
Norton. for 1900. Mr.. Gilman owned
real estate in New York city, one par
eel of which was incumbered by a
mortgage for $4,000 and another lot
having mortgage thereon for $4,000.
MIR. Gilman authorized Candy & Cath
cart, as real estate agents in st. Paul, to
dispose of his New York property and
gave them letter describingit in which
the two lots were represented TO be
worth about S27, 800 each. Relying upon
the statements in the letter of Mr.. Gil
man, which was shown him, in 1889, the
plaintiff exchanged his real estate in st.
Paul and the note named for the New
York property of Mr.. Gilman. 1t is as
serted that the letter miSrepresented the
property of Mr.. Gilman, and the houses
described theron as being brOwn-StOne
fronts and very valuable. were not
worth as much as claimed, and would
not sell for the amount of the mort
cages thereon, held by the American
Lite Insurance company. 1t is assert
ed that these mortgages were foreclOsed,
and the Fifth avenue property sold for
$1,000, and the other for $1,000. The
insurance company began an action to
recover the balance of its claim. 1t is
also asserted that the houses did not
cost $4,000 each, as represented, and
were out of repair. Gov. Marshal de-
manded that MIR. Gilman should make
good his losses, and, upon refusal to
comply with the demand, this action
was brought to recover damages for the
sum named for MISREPRESENTATION.

DIED OF POISON.
A Mothers Inhuman Work - A
Poisoned Well.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 24.-The ex-
termination OF an entire family, save
one member, by poison, is a case that
has been discovered here. One year ago
Thomas Austin, his wife and five chill
dren came here to live. One by one the
children died, until only one remained.
The father and remaining child were
reported dying yesterday. In each case
the symptoms have been exactly the
same. A slight fever, accompanied by
vomiting and severe pains in the stOnl-
ach, were the first indications. Then
the patient grew rapidly worse, and in
day or two death would ensuSe. In
each case the regular physician gave
typhoid fever as the cause of death.
Each child which had died had been
insured, and the money was paid by the
insurance company Immediately after
death. The amount Of the insurance on
each ranged from 5000 to 500. The
neighbOrS began to talk, and finally the
attending physician called in a we'll
known doctor, who made diagnosis
and concluded that the cause of the ill
ness of the father was arSenical poison
ing. The coroner will be asked to have
the remains of the Austin children ex-
humed and an analysis of the StOmachS
made. The doctors are firmly convinced
that arsenic has been used in every case.
The mother is alive and well. The in
Surance policies were all made out i'll
her name. She refuses to talk.
FRANKFORT, Ind, Nov. 24.-One of
the public schools in the eastern pOr-
ton OF this county has been closed 10y
the wholesale poisoning of the pupils
and also the teacher. The school is
located in the country, and few weeks
ago the trustees caused a we'll to be
driven on the premises, from which the
members of the school got their supply
of water. 1t was found upon investiga-
ton that all pupils who had regularly
drank of the water from the well were
sick, while the pupils VINO lived near
the school house and went home for
meals were not affected. The symptoms
developed are similar to those of ty-
pbOid fever.
Thursday the child of Robert Dillon,
that had been afflicted for several days.
grew rapidly worse. and died Friday
Saturday a ten-year-old daughter of
John Burgett became suddenly worse,
and died on Sunday. Fifteen other
pupils and the teacher are decidedly
worse. and several more deaths are ex-
| pected. The doctors say 1t is a clear
case of water poisoning, and an analysis
of the water confirms their theory
The water possesses some peculiar
chemical property which, in its action
on the water pipes, generates the
poison. What makes the case more
dangerous is tine apparent fact that
those who have drank the water are
afflicted with blood-pOisOning.
