A LIBERTY COUNTY MANS LUCK.
He Came to Town to See the Sights
and Was Taken in


An interesting case was brought TO
light yesterday morning in the magis-
trate's court. 1t at first looked like a
plain case of robbery, but on closer exam
ination the charge larceny after trust. /"
seemed TO better suit the case. The story
connected with it will probably prove of
some interest.
Christmas day Liberty county man
came to the city, ION pleasure bent"
In search OF amusement he drifted into
a house on Price street and while in an
intoxicated condition was relieved of S65
in cash, and ring valued at S45 The
next morning he went before a Justice of
the peace and related the facts, and an
nounced his intention of prosecuting the
women, but when Dollie Maybank and
Emma De Loach, the parties accused of
the theft, were brought before him he re-
fused to push the case. The Maybank
woman said he gave her the money to
keep for him and that she had gone to
Augusta on visit to her mother On her
return, she was arrested In company
with the other woman.
On being asked if any of the money re-
manned in her possession she pulled out
$54 and handed it to her accuser She
further stated that when it was given
her she regarded it as a gift. The other
"olilon' 11HlLhd 10 CodCH, was charged
with taking the ring. but denied all
knowledge of the theft On the refusal
of the man to prosecute the case it was
dismissed. The Maybank woman imme-
diately went to the house on Price street
and, packing up her belongings, left.
The man who made the charge, becom-
ing seemingly regretful of his refusal to
prosecute the case, again went before the
magistrate and said that unless his ring
is returned he will bring the case up

lighted beyond measure. The distribu-

TO GET THE 81. 900.
Two Worthy Institutions Will Re-
ceive the County Appropriation.


ceive the County Appropriation.
The appropriation of 81 900 made by the
county some time ago to the Little Chill
dren's Home, upon certain conditions,
will probably be diverted to the Abrams
Home, on Broughton street.
The appropriation was made upon the
application of those who were endeavor-
ing to organize a children's home to sue
coed the Little Minnie Mission, which
was abandoned some time ago. The con-
ditions were that 81 800 should be
raised for the home outside the
appropriation. Learning that this was
not likely to be accomplished, two officers
of the Savannah Widows Society, which
has control of the Abrams Home, on
Broughton street, and the Mary Telfair
Home, on West Broad street, made appli-
cation some time ago for the appropria-
ton, stating that owing to the failure of
the two institutions named to receive any
dividends from the stocks of the Central
and Southwestern railroads held by them,
they were in very Strengthened circum-
stances.
The clerk of the board of county COM
missioners has communicated with the
representatives of the Little Children's
Home, and received from them a formal
statement that there is no probability of
the conditions of the appropriation being
complied with.
The Abrams and Mary Telfair Homes
are well known as two of the most
deserving charities of the city, and the
appropriation will probably be given to
the Widows Society for their benefit.

TOURISTS ON THE MOVE.
Travel Heavier This Year Than 1t Has
Ever Been in MidWinteT.

The Rush to Begin After New Years.
The Hotels Prepared for. 1.-THE
Vestibule to Run Daily This Year.
The Florida Central and Peninsular
to Bring Many People to Savannah.
: The prospects are that the tourist travel
will be very heavy this year. All the
hotels have had a much better season
this year than last, so far, and there is
every reason to believe that this state of
affairs will continue. The travel has been
steady and not by spurts as is generally
the case.
The De Soto has enjoyed the best pa
tronage of any fall yet since the present
proprietors took charge. There has been
no heavy influx of northern visitors
but the patronage has been regular and
profitable. Better still. larger number
of guests have been booked for the next
few months than ever before. and the in
dications are that the hotel will be kept
filled until spring, and from the mum Der
OF inquiries that have been received, a
heavy travel south is expected after New
Years.
The vestibule train will be put on daily,
except Sunday, next month. This train
is the favorite with the tourists, and the
new schedule Is certain to prove very
popular. The entry of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad to Savannah
is certain to increase the number of tour
lists, as this line has put on a very conven-
lent schedule from New York by the
Richmond and Danville railroad and is
making efforts to secure travel The
competition between the new route and
the Atlantic Coast Line will very likely
have its effect in increasing the travel.
While Savannah has not been given to
tourist rates, as the properly should have
been, concessions have been made in the
way of stop-Overs on through tickets that
offer tourists bound for Florida points an
opportunity to spend a few days in the
city, either going or returning.
The Atlantic Coast Line fast mail
brought down lis through passengers for
Florida points yesterday morning, which
is remarkably large number for the be-
ginning of the tourist season.

FEW FIRES THIS YEAR.
The Insurance Companies Losses
Foot Up Small.

The Lindsay & Morgan Fire and That
in Flannery & Co.'s Cotton Ware
house the Only Large CONGREGATIONS
During 1Se3-Fewer Cotton Fires
on Shipboard Than Ever Known.
The year just closing has been a profit
able one in the insurance business. The
companies have sustained very few large
losses in Savannah.
There have been numerous small fires
which, however, were insured in several
OF the agencies, thus distributing the loss
among the companies, and no one com
pany's business was seriously impaired.
The only large confagration by which
the insurance companies suffered was the
Lindsay 4 Morgan fire last February.
The total amount paid to the insured was
in the neighborhood of SGT, 900; and from
then up to the time of the cotton fire in
Flannery 81 Co.'S warehouse last week,
the insurance men have had very pros
porous season.
The business district has not been the
scene OF any large fires as was the case
last year-and if no more casualties oc-
cur before January |, the year of 1S93swill
be considered by those interested a most
successful one.
Cotton fires on board the steamers in
pOrb nave Deen conspicuous by their alb
sence. These destructive fires fall heavi-
~ on the marine companies and make
deep inroads into their assets. During
the last twelve months several large fire
insurance companies have withdrawn
from the state and have ceased TO write
business in certain sections in the south.
Savannah has not had any large losses
where the majority of companies repre-
sented were effected, since 1889, and with
the continuation of the good fortune the
done by the Insurance Companies here
must necessarily make a handsome
showing
