PLANS FOR MAY WEEK.
Notes About the Celebration Gathered
Around Headquarters.


Mr.. J. G. Shaw. travelling passenger
agent OF the Central, who has been placed
at the disposal Of the May week committee
by that road, left last night for New York
to secure an attraction for the occasion
which will surpass anything ever presented
| before on sucl an occasion and which will
be genuine surprise to everybody.
The finance committee report that they
have accomplished about half their task Of
raising $40 ,0O0 and their work will be con-
| tlnued until they have reached that sum,
/ Their canvass has so far proved very satls-
factory, and they have found a universal
| desire among all approached that May
| week be a success.
Letters are being received from every
! part OF the surrounding section, saying
that large delegations intend visiting here If
| the proper rates can be secured for the Oo-
casiOn, and there is little doubt but that
this will be done. The committee on trans
portation will hold a meeting tonight to
report progress. Representatives of all the
railroads terminating in Savannah are
members OF that committee, and they will
no doubt secure one-tare rate for the GO
casion.
The work is progressing rapidly, and
when it is considered that the plan has only
been in operation a week to-day it shows
good system, and much Roadway due to
oompetent committeeman.
The Fourth artillery band at Fort Mo
Pherson, which afforded such enjoyable
music last year, has been ordered to W ash
ington on May l, but application has been
made to the war department at Washington
to have them remain at their present quar-
ters or come TO Savannah and remain until
after the celebration. Negotiations are also
pending with the Fifth infantry band sta
toned at st. Francis barracks, st. Augus-
tine, which will also be engaged. In addi-
ton two other military bands will be en-
ployed, so that there will be no lack of
music, which is always one of the most en-
joyable features of the celebration.
The directory committee met last night
and about concluded all its plans. The
maps, which will be inclosed with the 10, 600
invitations to be sent out, will be unique in
design and good advertisement for Sa7an-
nah, as well as Of considerable convenience
to visitors.
In order to get the celebration before the
people of the surrounding section, prelim-
mary invitations are being mailed to oil
railroad officials in the southern territory
and to every newspaper 10 the towns from
which 1t is intended TO bring visitors.
The programme committee will hold a
continued meeting at o'clock tonight and
will In all probability complete their plans
and be ready to submit their final report to
the executive board for approval. 1t will
then be submitted to the general committee
for adoption.

MARn LOSES HIS CASE.
Judge MaoDonen Directs Verdict
Against Him.

Ak6lubs IALA4s
| The suit Of Joseph Maril, whose store was
/ burned last August. against the Home In
/ surance Company Of New Orleans for 81, 800
insurance, which the company refused TO
pay, came 20 an abrupt termination IN the
city court last night after three days trial.
IL was withdrawn in consequence Of Judge
MacDonelPs charge.
The case was stu bbornly contested by both
sides since it began Friday morning last.
the Home company declined to pay the
claim on the ground that the fire was Of in
cendiary origin, and that Maril had WITH
ated his policy by keeping in his place
kerosense and benzine, which the policy ex
pressly forbade, with the additional words,
1.-THE usages and customs Of the trade to the
contrary notwithstanding, which were evil
IDENTIFY Incorporated TO meet certain de-
cisions. which held that unless expressly and
specifically forbade the use Of these oils in
the transaction Of necessary business did
70 vitiate policies of Insurance.
After Mr.. 3. b. Adams, attorney for the
Home company, and Maj. p W. Meldrim,
attorney for the plaintiff had concluded
eloquent speeches for their respective sides
Judge MacDonell told the jury that under
the law and the terms Of the policy granted
by the Home company TO Maril, and
MariPs admission that the oils were in his
store the court had nothing left except to
direct verdict for the insurance company.
At this point Maj. Meldrim arose and
asked leave to withdraw his case, which
was granted by Judge MacDonell. Maril
also has case against the Commercial In
surance Company for the same fire, but
Maj. Meldrlm says il stands on a different
footing from the one disposed of last night,
ana asked for an early assignment.

The story which comes from Macon pur-
porting to be the confession of a negro muir
derer named Smith in regard to a plot on
the part of two negroes to wreck the Nancy

der is considered by the railroad officials
here as q flrst-class fake.
They have received no information what
ever in regard to the matter except such re-
ports as have appeared In the newspapers,
and to these they have given little attention.
Their idea of the matter is if Smith really
did make any such statement be did it
knowing it could DO him no further harm,
and thinking 1t would elicIs interest in his
