A QUARREL ENDS FATALLY.

Jim Washington Shot and Killed Jim
Young in a Quarrel About Game of
Cards.
A story of terrible murder in Liberty
county was brought into the city yester-
day by James Middleton, who is in the
employ of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railroad.
1t seems that Jim Washington got into
a quarrel with Jim Young last Tuesday
night about an amount of money due him
by Young as the result of a game of cards.
The quarrel ended by Washington draw
ing his pistol and shooting Young through
the heart, killing him instantly
Washington then pointed his pistol at
John Hill, another negro, and demanded
of him his wages, which had just been
paid him. Hill handed the money over
and Washington then skipped. Heis still
at large in the woods near Mcintosh Sta
ton 1t is said that posse of negroes,
armed with Winchester rifles, started to
hunt for him, but that they were afraid
to prosecute the search, as it was believed
he would not be taken alive.

WHAT WILL BE DONE Nowp
The Sale of the Public Building Site
to Be Settled Tomorrow.

The Sale of the Public Building Site
to Be Settled Tomorrow.
Secretary Carlisle will decide to-mor-
row what disposition will be made of the
public building site at York and Aber-
corn streets. The terms underwhich the
property was offered at the sale on May 6
gave the secretary until May 20 to accept
or reject the highest bid offered. That
was MIR. John Nicolson, Jr's, bid of
$l0.500.
The auctlOneer announced at the sale,
there being no higher bid, that the prop
erty was Withdrawn. Mr. Nicolson ten
dered certified check for $1,000 TO Col
lector Johnson, however, and it was for
warded in compliance with the conditions
under which the property was advertised.
In view OF the fact that Mr.. G.. A. Hui
sons bid of $4,000 at the first offer of the
property was rejected it is not
expected Secretary Carlisle will
consider the acceptance o. lower bid
1t is understood that private offers have
been made for the property considerably
above so, 500
Collector Johnson has received no noti-
hcation yet from the treasury department
in reference to the matter. The time re-
served by the secretary in which to ac-
cept or reject the bid expires tomorrow,
when some other course viii probably be
taken TO dispose of abe site.

GILL SEE you LATER. -
The Lippman-Miller Suit Produces a
Little Sensation.

Little Sensation.
The jury in the Lippman-Miller damage
case returned a sealed verdict last night
at 10 o'clock after being out eight hours,
and Of course the result OF the finding
will not be known to anybody but the
twelve men who wrestled with the ques-
tions involved until 10 O'Clock this morn
ing.
The case assumed a little sensational
feature at one time yesterday during the
argument of Mr.. Leaken, one of the
plaintiffs counsel. In summing up the
evidence the attorneys language relative
to Mr. JEFF Mlllers testimony about the
fire and the contradiction of it by another
witness was rather insinuating, and
brought out retort from Mr.. Miller
which the spectators thought meant an
outside scene after the trial.
When Mr.. Leaken made the remark re
feIred to Mr.. Miller jumped out of his
seat with an angered expression and re
piled: Il will see you later about that"
and strobe out of the court room The
incident created little stir and some of
tho audience predicted a row Up to a
late hour last night, however, there had
been no collision between Mr. Leaken and
MIR. Miller.
The defense of the Miller company was
that no insurance agreement had been
made with Mr.. Lippman about his fmni-
ture, no charge was being made except
for the repairing of the furniture, no neg
hgence had been shown on the part of the
company, and it could not be held re-
spOnsible for an accident to which it was
not party.

THE OFFICIAL PRICES OF ICE.
Consumers Must Look Out Themselves
for Weights From the Wagons.


The official prices for ice, delivered.
in Savannah are as follows: Amounts
under 25 pounds, three-fourths cent per
pound; p pounds, Is cents; 1000 pounds
in tickets, go cents per 100 pounds: 1
ton, S.
If customers are charged more than
these prices by the wagons the company
says they are taken advantage of, and
should make complaint In the matter of
ice, each consumer must hustle for him
self. The company names its prices, and
says the buyer is responsible for every
thing else
AS a matter of fact consumers do not
like to report the drivers and take the
chance of being left some Sunday with a
refrigerator full of perishable food to
spoil because the driver did not stop So
far as consumers reWeighing their ice
supply it is impracticablc for the aver
age hOusekeeper to be in the kitchen at
$3.50 o'clock in the morning or to leave a
caller in the afternoon or drop her house
hold duties to weigh ten or fifteen or
twenty-five pounds of ice every time the
man calls.
A customer who is buying ten and
twenty pounds of ice a day weighed the
ten pounds delivery yesterday, 1t
weighed just six pounds, a little more
than one-half the amount he was supposed
to pay for, net profit to the company
the driver, or somebody, not the con
sumer, of 3 cents over and above the
profit on the ice actually delivered.

RAIN, COLD AND THE CROPS.
The Conditions According to the
Weather Bureau Bulletin.

Director Park Morrill, of the state
weather bureau, in his bulletin this
week, a synopsis of which has been given
in the MORNING News, says of the crops
in Eastern, Southern and Southeastern
Georgia:
Wet weather stopped the plOws from
moving in the eastern section for while
the first part of last week, but after the
rain the farmers soon caught up with
their work. The corn. cotton, wheat and
oat crops are doing very nicely. Most all
OF the cotton has been chopped. Some
has died, but has been replanted. Garden
truck and sugar cane are doing well. Some
farmers are just setting out sweet pota-
toes, while in other places they are grow
ing finely. Some are using new crop of
Irish potatoes.
In the southern counties cotton and
com are somewhat backward on account
of the cool weather which prevailed dur
ing the past week. Complaints of cut
worms are quite numerous in most local
tiles. The rainfall appears TO have been
mequally distributed, correspondents
from some counties reporting very little
while others report an excess. Oats are
IN excellent condition and promise a fine
yield. Fruit trees are shedding in some
orchards, but the condition of the crop is
gtnefaIly gOOu. WaUermelonS are grow
ing nicely and putting on fruit. Warmer
weather is especially needed for the de-
velopment of this crop.
In the southeast section there has been
little rain and all crops stand in need of
moisture. especially on highlands. Al
though sunshine has been abundant, the
temperature has been low. Complaints
are still made of the ravages of worms,
particularly on low ground. Crops as a
rule are in fully average condition. Cot
ton has been worked over and the stand
is good. The truck farmers are nearly
done shipping their early vegetables. The
inland rice crop is still being planted.
Sweet potato slips are being set out.

Savannah's Pythians Made a Record
in Macon.


Savannah's knights of Pythias re-
turned yesterday from Macon after hav-
ing an enjoyable time for two days. The
Regimental band met the divisions at the

where hot coffee was awaiting the travel
ers. Both divisions brought back prizes,
Teutonia for the second best drilled corps
and Du Guesclin for having the largest
number in ranks and travelling the longest
distance.
Grand Keeper of Records and Seal w
T. Leopold won the individual prize for
being the best drilled Pythian in the
state
The prize drill was an exciting event
and was witnessed by hundreds of Macon
citizens, among which the fair sex was
largely represented. 1t was generally be-
ieYed until the judges announced their
decision that Teutonia division had car
ried off first prize, but a few errors not no
ticeable to the spectators gave the Au-
gusta division first money. Teutonia re-
ceived a second prize of $50 for having
Travelled the greatest distance with full
drill team and one extra man. The drill
team was as follows:
Sir Knight Capt. John Juchter.

WHY THEY ARE NAVAL STORES.
The Meaning Of the Term and What
Naval Stores Are.

A correspondent asks the MORNING
NEWS why the name "naval stores" is
applied to the products of the turpentine
still and what particular use is made of
rosin and spirits turpentine
The origin of the term naval stores"
as applied to spirits turpentine and rosin
is traceable to the first use of the crude
turpentine, tar, pitch, spirits turpentine
and rosin into shipbuilding at a time when
nothing but wooden hull vessels were
known. These things were carried in
stock and in store by merchants who sup
piled shipbuilders with material They
were, therefore, called naval stores.n
The present uses of spirits turpentine
and roSin are too numerous to mention.
but the principal things turpentine goes
into are yarnish and paint, rOsin into
soaps and rosin oils, used as a lubricat-
ing oil
