CROWDS AT STERN BERGs,

Stock Going Rapidly - Astonishing
Bargains.
Sternberg's Damage Sale" was a
Strong attraction last week.
Couldn't be otherwise with such prices.
Valuable articles at nominal prices.
Determined to close out entire stock
In thirty days or less.
Silverware, cut glass, jewslry,
At figures having no connection
With value or cast.
Many people confound ''partial injury"
With total damage"
An article "totally damaged" is worthless.
Or not far from 1t.
Sternberg's discarded all tUorthless
Articles from stock.
Lots of injured articles are practically
AS good as the day they left the factory.
Some tarnished little. some discolored
A little. and so on; want a little "rub-
bing up"
Yet they must go at nominal prices.
Because we must eliminate from our
Stock everything that isn't strictly in
prime order.

You must see for yourself.

THE CLAIM STILL STANDS.

The Georgia Pacific May Drop It's De-
mand Against the Central.
q. 9. Cunningham, ESQ.,, OF Lawton &
Cunningham, counsel for the Richmond
and Danville railroad at Savannah, and
General Superintendent McBee Of the Cen
trail railroad, who were seen yesterday, said
that they knew Of no authority for the re-
port that the Georgia Pacific had dropped
its claim of $S40,0 against the Central
railroad, for which dividends Of the Gen.
tral railroad were held up December.
Capt. Cunningham said that it was very
probable that this would be the case. but he
had no official information upon the sub
jest and did not believe that such action
had been decided upon yet.
Supt. McBee was asked if there wss any
foundation for the report that the steamer
City of Savannah would be taken off the
line between Savannah and Boston
and run from Norfolk to one of the
northern ports. He said he had
not heard of any such rumor, and was sat-
isaed there was no foundation for it. He
said it is more likely that more ships will be
placed on the Savannah lines than that auy
will be taken off.
The Richmond ana Danyille people, he
said, do not believe the present ships would
be able to handle the business after the
present depression has passed. and the ques-
ton is likely TO come up of securing more
ships for the Ocean Steamship Company.

STARED DEATHS FACE.
Narrow Escape of Couple of savan
nah Ladies.

Narrow Escape of Couple of savan-
nah Ladies'.
Mrs. s. p. Shotter and Miss Meta Thomas
had narrow escape yesterday from what
would probably have proved fatal acci-
dent.
The ladies were out driving in drag on
Montgomery street about 2:30 o'clock. and
near the corner of Gwinnett street the
horse took fright at an approaching electric
car. Making leap, the animal threw one
OF the wheels Of the vehicle against the
steel rails, swapping it off completely, and
throwing both ladies across the track.
When the motormen of the car saw the
horse take fright he put on the brakes with
all his energy, succeeding in bringing it to a
standstill within few feet of the ladies.
The car was running at the usual speed at
the time, and had it not been for the strenu-
Gus efforts of the motorman fatal
accident would have been the re-
suit. The occurrence was witnessed
by many people, every one OF whom were
sure for moment or two that the ladies
would be crushed to death. The spectators
were SO paralyzed with fear that none OF
them were able to raise q hand 10 assist the
ladies threatened with death.
The horse ran some distance after throw
ing the occupants of the buggy out and
almost completely demolished the buggy.
The ladies were rot injured by their fall.
but suffered considerably from fright.

A BLOW MEANT TO KILL.
Murderous Assault Upon the Verno
Road Toll-2ete Keeper.

Murderous Assault Upon the Vernon
Road Toll-2ete Keeper.
An attempt to murder Frank Mccoy,
gate keeper of the Vernon She'll Road Com
pany. was made by an unknown negro last
night.
Mr.. Mccoy lives in the toll house, which
is q short distance from Second street.
About o'clock he was called to the door bv
knock. The moment he opened the door
he was dealt a crushing blow upon the head
with piece of scantling.
MIR. McCoy's brother, who was sitting in
tho room, saw the assault and rushed to
his assistance, and caught hold of him Just
as the negro was dragging him out of the
door into the road. He gave his brother
such jerk that he pulled both him and
the negro assailant into the toll house. Nc
Coy's brother than grappled with the
would-be murderer, but the negro was too
strong for him and broke away aud
escaped. During the struggle he dropped
his hat upon the floor.
The police were notified and several
mounted officers were sent to the scene. A
description OF the negro was furnished
them, which with the hat which he left be-
hind, gave slight clew to his identity.
At O'Clock this morning the officers were
still hunting for the would-be murderer.
Mr.. Mccoy is an old man, and the wound
in his head will likely lay him up for some
time, although there is no danger OF fatal
termination.
The purpose Of the negro was evidently
robbery. He thought no doubt that because
Mr. Mccoy collects all the tolls of the road
that he had considerable money about him,
which was the temptation which caused
him to attempt murder.
1t was fortunate thing that the tolls
keepers brother was in the room else Sa-
vannah would have another brutal murder
added to the already long list.

An Ancient Law Unearthed.

Assistant District Attorney Pagin,
of Cook county, Illinois, has un-
earthed federal law which is apple
able to strikers and arbitration. This
law provides for government inter-
ference for settlement by arbitration
of railroad strikes. Few knew of the
existence of such a law, but it is
found, contained in chapter 1868 of
the revised statutes of the United
States and entitled can act to create
boards of arbitration or commission
for settling controversies and differ
ences between railroad corporations
and other common carriers engaged
in Interstate and territorial trans
portation of property or passengers
and their employees" It is provided
that each side can select a represen-
tative, and the third arbitrator may
be commissioner of labor or any
disaffected person the two may agree
upon. Their decision will be binding,
absolute and final.

You may button your vest up tight
over this fact, and pull your hat
close down over>your Uranium so the
thought can't ooze out, that when
peoples party man is radical and
strong enough to produce an effect
on the voters he comes in contact
with, you may look out for abuse and
ridicule from the old party sheets
because these men are dangerous to
the success OF plutocratic plans. You
take the men who simply pose as re-
formers and in truth are holding
hands with the old dead issues, the
papers not only never assault them,
but very often extol them as high
minded and reliable statesmen. So,
brethren, the more abuse that is
heaped upon the men who are truly
advocating the cause of reform and
your interests, the greater is their
strength in the reform movement
and the more dangerous are they to
the enemy.

Here is another instance, to con-
vince doubters of the fact that the
associated press managers garble,
fix up, or ignore matters of national
and worldwide Importance to suit
the policy of the occasion. There
have been meager or no reports
through the associated press of Cen
eral Weaver's meetings in the west
since leaving Colorado. The meeting
at San Francisco was a grand affair
just bubbling over with people and
enthusiasm, so they were obliged to
adjourn to other halls, to hold over
flowing meetings. What kind of re-
ports did we get from the associated
press, supposed to give news and
facts, irrespective of party, color,
state or condition? Instead of giving
a fair and just report setting forth
all the facts as they would had it
been gathering of either OF the old
parties. they gave six lines, not even
estimating the number present. This
was suppression Of news to which the
general public is entitled, and which
would have been interesting to all
classes OF readers.
