WELL KNOWN IN SAVANNAH.
Frank Francis Two Years a Resi-
dent Here.

Mr.. Frank M. Francis, who was muir
dered by negro in his employ on his plan
tation in Burke county Thursday an ac-
count of which appeared in yesterdays
MORNING NEWS, was well known in Sa-
vannah, having lived here for something
over two years, part of which time he
was in the employ of the A. j. Miller
Company on Broughton street.
Francis came to Savannah from At
lanta in the fall of 1889 and obtained a
position with Mr.. Miller, where he re-
manned for about eighteen months, leav-
ing this employment to go into business
for himself. He bought out the furniture
establishment of McGillis & Rustin in
1891, which he operated for several
months, after which he sold out to Rustin
Bros, desiring to go to farming on his
plantation in Burke county. While in
Savannah he married Miss India Inman
of Davisboro, of wealthy and highly re-
spected family. He left here about
Christmas of 1891 to start working his
farm in which he was engaged until muir
dered.
In speaking of him yesterday Mr.. Mil
Ter said he knew nothing that could be
said of him that was not good He was a
man of about 81 years of age, quiet and
reserved in his manners and well edu-
Gated and intelligent. Mr. Miller says he
was one of the most faithful employees he
ever had, and was successful in whatever
he undertook, The news of his ntimely
and terrible end was shock to the friends
he made while he lived here.

AT THE MARKET.
An Investigation of the Meats Made
Yesterday.

Yesterday was a summer day, and
everybody who went out realized that the
warm season is upon US. There were a
large number of inspectors Of meats
there and the different stalls were
scrutinized carefully.
There was nothing lacking in the
market. The display Of excellent meats
was unusual. All the summer delicacies
were there, and many delighted pur-
chasers took advantage of the OPP
pOrtunity to procure them.
One noticeable feature was that at
Logan's could be found the entire list of
spring and summer delicacies.
The largest lot of the choicest beef,
surrounded with delicate rice field lamb,
mutton, spring chickens and spring veal
Then came the elegant corned rounds and
briskets, and homeless corned beef,
and picked tongues.
The butchers were busy cutting diff
ferent joints of mutton and preparing
delicious French chops of all kinds
Here was the business of the day, and
it was attended to with marvellous
promptneSs and accuracy
Logan announced that he will start his
Sunday morning delivery next week.-ad.

THE ORDERS STOPPED.

Those From New York for Central
Securities Come to a Sudden Ter
mination.
The orders placed with the brokers
here by New York firms for Southwestern
stock and debentures were countermanded
yesterday and the buyers stopped opera
tions as suddenly as they began.
During the past week nearly 5000
shares of Southwestern stock were sold
from Savannah on orders from New York
firms, and large quantity of debentures
were bought up also. What the meaning
of this sudden demand was, unless it was
a speculative movement, is unknown, and
the sudden stoppage of orders is equally
as inexplicable. Who the buyers were
could not be ascertained, but there is
little doubt but that these operations
were of a sneculatiKe character

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.
Savannah's Chances Good for First
Place Next Week.

The Southern League season is now
three weeks old and is one of the prettiest
in the history of the game. The first five
clubs are so closely punched that it will
only take four games to place the lowest
of the five, Savannah. ahead of the lead
ers. Should Savannah win four straight
and Montgomery, the leader, lose four
straight it will put Savannah thirty-one
points ahead of the present leaders.
Birmingham, Macon and Chattanooga
are the weak shots, but are being
strengthened, and promise to make it
warm for some of the present leaders be-
fore the season is much farther advanced.
Savannah is justly proud of the team
Manning has placed here, and feel as
sured that with the addition of Quarles
Savannah will soon be one of the three
first clubs in the race.
Montgomery, Charleston and Augusta
have taken quite tumble in the past
week, and Savannah New Orleans and
Mobile are showing up strongly.
Charleston and New Orleans are tied
for third place, with Savannah a good
fourth.
The standing of the clubs to date is as
follows:

DEATH ENDED HER CAREER.
Mrs. Davis Did Not Live Long After
DESERVING Her Husband.

Mrs. 7. J. Davis, who deserted her
husband in jacksonville last Wednesday
to resume her former gay life in Savan-
nah under her old name of Efie Leslie,
died yesterday morning at No. 10 South
Broad street. The woman was taken sick
with cramps Immediately after arriving
here, and DR. Slovenian was called to
attend her. She gradually grew worse
and at o'clock yesterday morning died
in great agony.
DR.. Silverman found bottle of brandy
in the sick woman's room, and as some of
the inmates said she had been given the
stuff TO drink by her husband the physi-
clan decided TO report the affair to Health
Officer Drummer and let that official de-
eide whether an investigation was neces-
sary. From the health officer the case
passed into the hands of Coroner Dixon.
BY this time the air was full of rumors of
suspected foul play, and the coroner went
TO work at once to get at the facts.
His investigation proved that the
woman's death was due to natural causes.
The brandy was pale medicinal brandy
which she brought from Jacksonville, and
instead Of her husband administering any
of it the testimony of the other inmates
of the house was that the woman had
been taking it for three days in teaspoon
full doses to relieve her pains in conIec-
tion with the remedies administered by
DIR. Silverman In view of this state of
facts Coroner Dixon decided that there
was nothing in the case TO warrant an in
quest and turned the affair back into the
hands of DR.. Silverman.
Mrs Davis led gay life here before
she married Davis, and upon resuming it
she assumed her former title of Ef1ie
Leslie. Her husband said when leaving
Savannah night before last that he would
enter a suit for divorce, but the grim
reaper has saved him that trouble and ex-

President Purse Says the S. and I. H.

The rumor that the Savannah and Isle
of Hope railway intended, in the event of
failure of the Electric Railway Company
TO continue its lease, to come into the city
by its right of way on Harmon and
Wheaton streets seems to be unfounded
President D. G.. Purse of the railway
was surprised yesterday to learn that any
such rumor was afloat and said that there
was absolutely no intention on the part of
the company to extend its line into the
city.

THE CITY's COMPLAINT BOOK.
a Sure Way of Remedying Unsani-
tary Conditions

There is book in the clerk of councils
Office, which, although not much used, is
one of the best adjuncts to the citys san
itary arrangement. 1t is known as the
Complaint Book Anybody desiring to
report places needing the attention of the
sanitary officers only has to make the en-
try OF the premises or point upon the
book, accompanied with his or her ad-
dress, and within a few hours Health
Officer Drummer will send one of his sani-
tary inspectors to investigate.
Many people labor under the delusion
that to report premises for an unsanitary
condition means the placing of the owners
or tenants on the information docket.
Nothing is farther from fact The Com
plant Book is the intermediary, and if
people would use it more frequently the
city authorities would be greatly aided in
keeping everything in first-class sanitary
condition.

A NEW DEPOT NEEDED.
General Complaint About the s., F.
and w. Passenger Station.


That the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway should build a new passenger
depot is the unanimous opinion of the
patrons of the road-tourists, naval
stores operators, lumbcrmen and travel
ing men. The present depot, which
Is merely mammoth shed, is not by
any means in keeping with the
dignity of the Plant system. 1t is inCon-
venient, and little better than an ordi-
narycountry station.
Certainly 1t is an improvement over the
crude and primitive platform that served
as depot up to a few years ago. but it is
not the kind of depot improvement which
the Importance of Savannah demands
Tourists, when they step from the
trains of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern into the big open shed, apparently
constructed to give the wind ample room to
blow through 1t, cannot help but compare
the place in a very unfavora BILE manner
TO the depotS of many smaller roads in
smaller cities The waiting rooms look as
If they were constructed and furnished in
the times of first railroad attempts. When
MIR Plant built the present depot it was
announced that the shed was only a tenn
poralY arrangement which would soon be
supplanted by magnificent brick and
granite building, constructed in the most
modern style Of architecture, with hand
some entrances on Liberty and East Broad
streets. The temporary shed, however,
seems to have taken on a stubborn per-
manency. Mr.. Plants representatives
have several times talked about his inten-
lions of building a new depot, but so far
1t has amounted to nothing but talk with
out any explanations from Mr. Plant
The MORNING News has talked with
many patrons of the Savannah, Florida
and Western on the subject, and without
an exception they expressed themselves
as surprised that MIR Plant would
allow his great railroad system to
be represented in city of Savannah's
steadily growing Importance by such a
poor excuse for a passenger depot
