JACKSON GETS 1900
And the Superior Court Grants Sarah
Davis Alimony.


The suit of w. F. jackson against the
Savannah Street railroad, which was
called in the city court last Saturday. was
taken up again yesterday morning.
jackson was run into by one of the cars
of that road on West Broad street about
two years ago, while driving in a wagon.
He sustained certain injuries and was
damaged, he claimed, in the sum of So 900,
for which he sued. The case was tried
once before, and a verdict for $500 rendered
in his favor. The court granted new
trial on account of some error in the pro-
ceedings, and the jury yesterday more
than sustained the former verdict by
bringing in verdict for 81 900 in Jack
sons favor
The suit of Sarah Davis against II. D.
Davis for aGmony and counsel fees wa S
taken up in the superior court. The tes-
timony in the case was all taken last Sat
urday, and the arguments were presented
to the jury yesterday. A verdict was
rendered in Sarah's favor, and the court
allowed her $40 per month alimony pay
able the Sd of each month and $50 attor-
ney's fees, payable in iustallments of So
each the Sd of each month. Davis brought
suit against his wife for divorce, which is
now pending, and the alimony is allowed
her until the case has been finally settled
by the second jury.

zoos of the decree and the disposition to
be made of the property is too well known
TO need repetition. The property is to be
sold piece by piece, and the bids on il in
this manner are to be summed up. The
property is then 20 be put up as whole,
and the bid on it recorded, and in what
ever manner it brings the largest amount

have charge of the sale, which will take
place in Macon on some day named by

mental decree, covering the mortgage
held by the Centpal Trust Company will
be rendered. Mr.. Owens is also to make
a report at that time on the question of
fact arising out of the petition for an
issue of Si00, 600 of receivers certificates

MADE SHORT WORK OF THEM.
The City Court Sends Seven Tramps
Out to the Chain Gang.

There was a little innovation in the pro-
ceedings in the city court yesterday by
the way of introducing short criminal
session in order to provide employment
for number of gentlemen" who have
been unable to secure work for some time
past on account of the monetary strin-
gency and other causes.
There were seven of them altogether,
Frank Adams, George Bunge, Morgier
Aquenba, Henry Brown, Joseph Merger,
Joseph Unsworth. and Fred Mar
tin, REFRESHING four different ma
tions. Two of them were Ital-
ians, three Americans, one a Ger
man and one an Englishman. Six Of them
were the tramps sent in from the section
near the Lamar swamp by Detective
Morgan Sunday, and the other was
picked up on the streets in the city.
None of them could show that they
had any means of livelihood, but
all insisted tkat they were looking
for work, and had been for sometime,
though they have been unable to find it
up to date. Judge MacDonell, however,
made ample provision for that, and sent
them out TO the gang for three months
each He gave them the option of paying
a S25 fine, but all decided that their sal
aries for the last few months did not
warrant them in paying the fines, and all
took the trip TO the canal.

THE MEHRrENs MUSICALE.
Mrs. Mehrtens Given a Warm Recep-
ton by Her Admirers.


One of the largest, and certainly one of
the most critical audiences that has been
In the theater in many days, gathered
last night in compliment to one of Savan-
nah's artists, Mrs. Laura Mehrtens.
From her reputation as pianist of high
merit, the audience naturally expected
great deal and in this it was not disap-
pointed, for the general comment was
only one of praise and wonder at the re-
markable touch, the charming effects pro-
duced by her shadings, and the perfect
accuracy with which she carried out the
lengthy programme without the use of
notes, the entire scores, including that of
the orchestra, being thoroughly commit
ted to memory.
1t would be difficult to decide
which of her selections was the
faYorite with the audience. All the num-
bers were so good and so charmingly rem
dered, that it is almost impossible to dis
erlmlnate; but if any one number was re-
celved with more favor than another,
possibly it was LISTS "Rhapsodie Hon
groise," and Chopin's Cradle Song"
which were rendered in a faulJless man
ner, the effort of the player, in these,
as well as in all the other numbers, being
to interpret faithfully the composers,
which was strictly adhered to
and carried out in detail.
The German critic was right in saying
that her touch was like Fields, one of
Clements best pupils, noted for his end
less shadings and beautiful singing tone.
Mrs. MehrteDs was ably assisted by
Mr. James Douglass, whose violin playing
was received with great favor, and by
MIR. Julian Walker, who was never in bet
ter voice, and received well-merited APP
plause.

The programme of the Favary concert
tomorrow night gives promise of an ex-
cellent musical treat. Miss Tavary will

opportunity to display the faculties of her
voice. Miss Won Doenhoff is down for

A FALSE ALARM.
Smoke in Mr.. T. F. Gleason's Stables
Calls Out the Fire Department.

Smoke in Mr.. T. f. Gleason's Stables
Calls Out the Fire Department.
A large quantity of smoke in the roof of
Messrs. 7. F. Gleason & Cos stables on
Bryan street caused the fire department
TO be called out about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The smoke was issuing from
the furnace in the Germania bank build
ing and the wind blew it under the roof
of the stables on the second story. Some
one in the lane back of the stable
gave an alarm of fire, and Mr.. Gleason
without waiting TO see what the
matter was, telephoned for the depart
ment. When it arrived on the scene
nothing but lot of smoke could be found
and when traced to its origin, the only
blaze that was found was in the furnace
IN the cellar of the bank building.
Fearing that there might be a fire, Mr..
Gleason had all the horses on the second
story brought out as soon as he had sent

missed by Recorder Wilson.
The case against Mr. johnson Shaw,
who was arrested by Conductor Blanch-
ard, of the Charleston and Savannah
railway, came up before Recorder Wilson
In the police court yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock, to which hour it had been adj
journed. After hearing some OF the testi-
mony, which was of the weakest charac-
ter, the case was dismissed. Mr. Shaw
has heen a resident of Savannah for sew
eral months, and has always been re-
garded as an honorable gentleman.
The court room was filled with his
friends, who had been associated with
him during his residence here, who con
graduated him upon his thorough
vindication of the grave charge
under which he rested. The
charge was theft of a valise. MIR
Shaw proved that the valise and clothes
were his property and were sold by him
for 81. The small price obtained for the
articles excited suspicion. That seems to
have been about the only evidence there
was to connect him with the charge and
the recorder dismissed the case at once.
