sQUARINa THEIR BETS.

Heavy Money Changed Hands In Sa-
vannah on Wednesdays Fight.
The Corbett-Sullivan fight was the talk
yesterday. Even Corbetts best wishers
acknowledged that the result was surprise
TO them. AS for the Sullivan men, they
were as completely knocked out as their
champion and had very little to say. In
fact, Sullivan men were scarce yesterday
1t is remarkable the number of people who
thought Corbett was going to win and in
tended 20 bet on him, but didn't
IL the Corbett men had only had the nerve
to back their judgment. or rather their
hopes, the Sullivan people would have been
mortgaged for year to come. The latter
went in for their champion whole,souled.
Even as late as the tenth round one of
them made q bet of 10 to l on Sullivan.
The possibility Of the champion being
knocked out did not occur TO them.
A bay street saloonkeeper said last night
that he would have to mortgage his saloon
to pay his BETS One saloon man
is known to have sold $500 worth of stock
to get money to bet on Sullivan, and thus
raised the limit above that even. One we'll
known business man felt like hiring some
body to Kick him yesterday morning. A
day or two before the fight he made a
| wager with another well-known business
man of $50 to 500 that Corbett would
knock Sullivan out The two gentlemen
we're engaged in friendly game OF cards
In the house of one of them not far from
the theater while the fight was in progress
aud bulletins Of each round were brought to
| them.
After seven or eight rounds had been
| fought the Corbett hacker lost his nerve
and offered the other gentleman $40 to call
the bet off. This the gentleman accepted
and the Corbett man quickly paid over his
$40, glad TO get out of 80 risky a bet, as he
thought. HIS feelings can be imagined
| when the report of the twenty-first round
| was received. He is out $40 for his timid-
| ity.
Predictions are freely made that there
| will be series of fights within the next few
| months as a result Of the New Orleans mill,
Corbett, it is generally believed, will have
to fight Peter jackson again, and the fight.
it 10 predicted, will be a good one. The
English and the Australians ere also ex-
pected TO put up man or two for him TO
fight
Many of the Sullivan men declare that
John l.. will get himself together and fight
Corbett again, in which case they say they
will back the Boston man AS strongly as
they did the last time. John L., they as
sert, is still the better man.
Interest in sporting matters is at high
tide now, and it would be no surprise If Sa-
veunah got up something in the shape Of a
prize fight before long. There Is no deny
ing that anything of the kind would take
just now. There has been talk for some
time Of forming an athletic association aud
it may materialize now under the present
impetus given to such matters by the Cor
bett-Sullivan fight.

TO FIGHT 1T OUT WITH PAPA.

An Anxious Efaugham Couple Makes
Savannah q Gretna Green.
Justice T. J. SheftalI married q runaway
couple from bingham county at his Office
yesterday morning. The groom's name
was Joshua s. Kessler and the bride was a
Miss Beebe. They were both from near
Springfield.
The couple did not attempt to conceal
the fact that they had run away from home
70 get married, the reason being that the
girls father was opposed to the match.
They had license obtained from the ordi-
nary Of bingham county.
Justice Sheftali first obtained the opinion
OF Solicitor General Fraser that it would be
legal to marry the couple on the authority
OF license from another county and then
performed the ceremony.
The bride was pretty girl about IS years
OF age and Hastily dressed. The groom is
young farmer. They left at once for home
to meet the young lady's father, who had
gone to Springfield, thinking to interoept
them there.
Savannah is very seldom selected as the
iretna Green for runaway couples. This
10 only che third runaway couple Justice
Sheftall has married since assuming the Of
nee OF Justice seven or eight years ago. and
probably some OF the other Justices have not
had that many even.

A RAILROAD SOLD.
The Empire and Dublin Bought In by
New York Capitalists.

The Empire and Dublin Bought In by
New York Capitalists.
The Empire and Dublin road was sold at
Of the court house door in Eastman, and
was bid off by Mr.. Claude Estes Of Macon,
representing certain New York parties, the
amount paid being $4,000.
The road will at once be put in splendid
condition and extended thr0ugh to Dublin.
Il will be thoroughly overhauled and
equipped and fine rolling stock added.
1t will prove a valuable road to Macon,
according to the Evening Net0S of that city,
as it connects with the Georgia Southern
and Florida at GrovanIa and the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia at Empire
and the Macon and Dublin, thereby throw
ing the trade of these three roads to Macon.
This sale will extrioate the road from It's
legal embarrassments, it having been in the
hands of a receiver for several months. 1t
is probable that Estes g. Estes will repre-
sent the road as counsel under its new man
agement.
The Empire and Dublin road is COM
pleted and IL operation from Hawkins
Vile to a point within nine miles from
Dublin. It is also graded from Hawk
insville TO Grovania, a distance Of twelve
miles, and it was intended to push the
Valley. When the road reached a point
within nine miles of Dublin the road went
into the hands of receiver and work was
stopped.
The sale Of the road will place 1t in posi-
ton to be extended. 1t is reliably stated
that those interested in the road have Sc
cured enough money to complete the road
from Fort Valley to Dublin just 50 soon as
1t Is out Of the receivers hands.
The road from Fort Valley to Dublin
will be seventy-three miles In length.
and runs through one of the
best sections of Georgia. Connect
ing at Dublin with the Wrights-
vile and Tenuille railroad or the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah, when this road is
completed TO Savannah, it will give the
people OF Dodge, Pulaski and that section a
direct outlet TO the sea.
The Empire and Dublin railroad will, no
doubt, be completed to Dublin in a short
while

The Platform of the Party Adopted
at the Waynesboro Convention.
The Usual Fight Over Delegates
From Chathsm-The Organization OF
the District Committee for the Next
Four Years-R. w. Collins CT N cIn-
tosh Elected District Elector.
The republican congressional convention
Of the FRS district met at Waynesboro,
Burke county, day before yesterday at
noon. Uncontested delegations were pres
ent from all the counties, except Chatham
and Emanuel, which had contestlng dele
gates. The Chatham delegates, headed by
J. E. Whiteman, we're placed upon the roll
by Chairman L. NJ. Pleasant, who refused
TO admit the other delegates as contestants.
The contestants in hot rage refused to sub
NIT their case before the committee on
credentisls-Ihereby losing a chance for
seats.
After the committee on credentials re-
ported L. NJ Pleasant was reelected chair
man. s. r. Morse was renominated for
secretary, but upon his refusal to take his
place a discussion ensued. which las ed over a
half hour. Finally. in the interest of har-
mouy aud peace, he accepted, which COM
pleted the organization.
r. W. Collins of Mcintosh county was
elected district elector.
The following now compose the district
committee: L. VI. Pleasant chairman, r.
G. Bennett vice chairman, S. B. Morse SEQ
Rotary Silas Daniels assistant secretary.
The platform adopted was as follows:
ResoLUed That we hereby record our adbe-
renee to the principles OF the Republican party
as was enumerated in the platform of the party
in the late convention at Minneapolis; that we
hail with pleasure the denomination of Benja
min Harrison as the republican standard bearer
that we hereby indorse his administration as
able, clean and one which in every way will
compare most favorably with any adminiStra =
ton this country Las ssen snco the foundation
of the national government.
ReSo ued, That we hereby testify our adhe-
renee to and faith in the principles of protec-
ton as is set forth in the Mckinley bill and also
our unbounded faith in the large benefits to be
derived from reciprocity.
Resolved, That the stand taxed by the party.
and also by the President in his lecent letter
for Fair ballot and an honest count, meet
our highest appreciation and compes our
warmest loyalty, and that Of the people, re-
gardless of party.
Res lved. That we rejoice at the suspicious
outlook in our immediate vicinity aud the
favorable indications in CHS First congressional
district for FAR vote and an no lest count. -
and to all the principles set forth In the plat
form Of the party at Minneapolis, which tend
alone TO the amelioration of the people and to
good government, we hereby place on record
our adherence to and loyalty subscribe.
The nomination of q candidate for oon-
gress was passed over, and republicans are
left to choose between Col. Lester, the dem
ocratic nominee, and W. r. Kemp, the
| representative of the third party. The
chances are that the bulk of the vote will
| go to Lester.

KILLED HISOWN FRIEND.
BENZ. JACKSON DIES FROM A Bull
LET FOR AN OFFICER.

Fatal Ending OF g Sunday Game OF
Crsps-Jackson Refused to Tell Who
Shot Him Until q Few Minutes Be-
fore His Death-His Slayer and six
| Accomplices Arrested and Held to
Await the Coroner's Inquest.
Craps, the favorite gambling game OF
many Savannah negroes, is responsible for
another murder, and most likely will fur
nish the gallows room another victim.
Benjamin jackson, who was shot in the
side while shaking the dice Sunday morn
ing in a house on West Boundary street,
and who was supposed TO be only slightly
wounded at the time, died yesterday morn
ing at O'Clock at his parents home on Sims
street.
The police were notified Of the shooting
shortly after It occurred, but when the am
bulauoe reached the scene nobody could be
found except the wounded man, and he re-
fused to give any information about the
affair or the names of any Of those engaged
In It. jackson was taken TO the Georgia
infrmary and from there was removed TO
his home by his father. He refused up 60
few minutes before his death to give any
names or say who shot him, out finally was
prevailed upon to tell who composed the
party. He gave the names Of Alonzo
Screveu, George Irwin, Lewis Roberts,
Prince Small, Allen Stinson, James Moore,
Elijah Good win and Fred Gibbons
Old man jackson, Immediately after his
sons death, secured the services Of Officer
Davis, and before o'clock all the men ex-
cept Gibbons were occupying cells at the
barracks. None of them were anticipating
arrests and we're pulled out of ed.
Gibbons was captured later in the morn
ing by Detective Morgan. He proved the
prize Of the party as he confessed having
fired the fatal shot. He denied, however,
that he had any intention Of shooting Glib
oons. While the party was deeply engaged
in the game OF craps Gibbons said some one
cried police" the lights were put out and
everybody rushed for the door He stopped
for a moment, pulled his revolver and fired
in the direction in which he supposed the
police we're, but the bullet intended TO snap
out the life OF an officer struck his friend,
jackson.
The coroner was notified and an inquest
will be held over Jackson's body this morn-
ing ct 9 o'clock.
Last night at 10 o'clock Detective Morgan
captured another member of the gang VINO
was la the game when jackson was shot.
His name 10 Tom Summons, and he is a
negro with very ugly countenance. He
declined to make any statement and was
locked up with his companions TO await the
result of the INQUEST.

LITTLE NUGGET" TONIGHT.
Herbert Cewthorn and His Funmak
ers at the Theatsr

Herbert Cawthorn and His Funmak-
ers at the Theater.
There are few sprightlier pieces on the
stage than "Llttle Nugget" which is at the
theater tonight. Miss Wheeler has achieved
genuine fame 10 the title role, and Her
bert Cawthorn, who heads the list, is one
Irish comedian that gets on the good side of
theeter-going people at once.
1t seems to be the constant endeavor of
the management OF the company to offer
something new each time the piece is pre-
sented, as In addition to the cast, which re-
mains about the same as last year, and
which proved entirely satisfactory, the
company has been augmented by q number
Of clever specialties, including Miss Margue-
rite Ferguson, who has been Endorsed by
press nnd public as the premier of contor-
ZIONIST dancers, introducing an act which
is entirely novel to the stage. DeLand and
DeBremont, inportasions from France,
render selections from grand and comic
opera. Their singing is said 70 be revela-
tion in farce comedy. James Britton gives
very correct imitation of the late ]. K.
Emmett Charles Stanley has q whstIlug
solo; Richard Ferguson fad song his own
composition.
The Indian dance" which has created
somewhat OF sensation, will be intro
duced by four of the pretty girls, besides
many other interpretations by the company.
