INSURANCE AGENTS MEET.
Talk of Having a Compact Manager

Talk of Having a Compact Manager
Here.
The fire insurance agents of Savannah
met committee from the Southeastern
Tariff Association consisting of Special
Agents John W. Pierce and w. r. Chaplin,
OF Atlanta, and Edgar s. Wilson Of
Macon, at the Pulaski house yesterday,
for the. purpose of consulting with regard
to appointing a compact manager here.
This subject was brought up at sthe
meeting of the association a week orr two
ago and the committee was appointed to
confer with the Savannah agents, most of
whom desire that such an appointment
be made. Thematter was discussed at some
length and the committee will report to
the next meeting of the association
There Is at presenther6 a stamping clerk,
who stamps allpoltcies to show that they
are correct before they are forwarded to
the companies for record A compact
though he has more authority to render
decisions i'm matters of controversy with
regard to rates
The committee on the fire situation in
Savannah is also in the city, and was to
have met the committee appointed by the
mayor to confer with the association, yes
terday. This committee consists of
Messrs. Henry e. Rees, w. l.. Reynolds
and j. G. Hunter, of Atlanta, all of
whom are special agents. Chairman w G.
Cam of the citizens committee was at
Tybee, however, and the meeting could
not be called Some arrangement will
probably be made to-day whereby a
meeting of the associations committee
with the committee of citizens can be
held. No action has yet been taken with
regard TO the situation, and it is hard to
say what the committee will recommend.

ON THE UPWARD TREND.
The Reorganization Plan CAUSING Ad-
vances In Central Securities.

The Reorganization Plan Causing Ad-
vances In Central Securities.
The prospect for plan of reorganiza-
tion that will deal fairly with all classes
of Central securities, has had beneficial
effect and within the last, two weeks.
there has been an advance in every
security.
With the'strong backing that the plan
will have which will make it almost GER
tain to go through, tits believed there
will be a further advance along all lines
Central common, stock which could
hardly be sold two or three weeks ago at
the quoted price, l219, will probably bring
ia blocks of 100 shares or more Is or per-
haps 20. The common stock can find a
ready market if offered in largo blocks.
s Debentures have not had so great an
advance, bat they are pushing forward.
A week or two ago they were quoted at
20 to n, but will now bring 49, still
further advance in the certificates are
Anticipated
After the Southwestern decision at
New Orleans, the stock of that road fell
TO 80. but is now quoted at IS bid This is
due tothe per cent security which it is
proposed TO give this road under the new
plan, and the fact that it is to be relieved
of the tripartite bond indebtedness. A
further advance is expected in South
western.
Augusta and Savannah stock is quoted
at 50. There is little movement in this
stock and it is scarce at the quotation.

life, and withal modest and unassuming,

Zens and will make an excellent repre-
sentative. Neither he nor the club of
which he is the president put forward
his claims or asked place on the ticket.
The request that he allow his name 10 be

matters your committee can state, with
emphasis, this large and influential
organization has been entirely exempt
from the slightest spirit of self-seek

Mr., Hartridge is an admirable and
popular representative Of the young men

bears his fathers name, and that name
will not suffer, and the expectations of
his friends will not be disappointed by
his course as a legislator

Manly honorable, able and self-reliant;

sroRIEs oF nm PRIsoNERs.

When arrested, Meeks was taken to the
office of Justice Naughtin, while his wife
was taken to Justice McDermott's office
The stories they told about the matter
put it in an entirely different light, and
both of them tailed almost in every
detail
Mrs. Meeks, at the time, lived near her
fathers home. She was with him, nurs-
ing him just beforehe died. She says her
father told her that he intended to
give each of his children 5000, and
that he said he had already given his sons
their share. She says 500 was given her
sometime before his death, with which
she purchased a horse to be used by her
self and her husband, and that when she
was with her father, a few days before
his death, he told her to go to the trunk
and get out shot bag, in which was $500
in gold and silver This she says, her
father gave her, telling her not to say
anything about it to her brothers, as he
had already given them their share
That is why she said she had never men
toned anything about this money This,
she says, was all the money
she AMI her husband possessed
when they came to Savannah four
or five months ago and started this
grocery business.

being sent TO the asylum. The body will
be brought down to Savannah to-day. and

PATHETIC STORY.

Meeks tells pretty much the same story
He says he has never had any more than
this $500 which was left his wife, that
since he has been here he has done almost
all of his trading with NJ. j. Doyle, that
if his bills are investigated they will show
no more than that amount, and that he
has lost nearly every cent of the money
in his little business he was endeavOring
to do. Both deny all knowledge of the
$1,000 in bills, and Mrs. MeelSs says it was
not in the trunk when she took the shot
bag from it. Meeks and his wife
are, according to all accounts,
in almost destitute circumstances.
She and her husband are about 45 or 80
years old, and they have eight children
dependent upon them. They do not look
as if they had ever seen 5000.
Justice McDcrmott felt much sympathy
for the woman, and did not want to send
her to jail, but thelaw was memorable, and
both were taken to Jail last night. They
well probably have to be taken back 10
South Carolina to be tried, as it is there
the otfense is alleged to have been COM
mitted

death is a peculiarly sad one, and brings

tives of the deceased are her sisters Mrs.

The diplomas were delivered to the
graduates by Superintendent Baker. MIR.
Baker was introduced by Principal Ross
as "A friend Of education" and the senti-
mentaRas heartily applauded. Superin-
tendent Bakers reception showed him TO
be a favorite with the children of the col
ored schools as well as those of the white
schools. Before presenting the diplomas
he spoke a few words of advice aud
encouragement to the graduates, compli-
menting them upon the work they had
accomplished, and especially upon the
highly creditable exhibition made by the
graduating class. He urged upon them
the necessity of adhering to the princi-
Piles which had been instilled into them
in the schools and of earnest effort and
ap1lication in whatever work fell to their
hands, if they would succeed in life.

A MAGISTRATE ARRESTED.

Justice McDermott Under a Warrant
for Assault and Battery.
A warrant was sworn out against JUS
tice Frank McDermott yesterday, charg
ing him with assault and battery. The
warrant was sworn out by a collector for
Jeweler M. MariI, named Ohlander, at
Justice Warning Russells court, and
Justice McDermott was released on his
own recognizance. It seems that
Ohlander approached him several times
to collect an account about which there
was some dispute. Ohlander, it is said,
used some language about McDermott
and mis- officers that was not altogether
complimentary when the blow was
struck, and Ohlander was quite badly
bruised over the right eve.

Not Believed That the Pullman Strike
Will Extend to This Section.
1t is not believed that the Pullman car
strike will extend to this section. So far
it has not extended south of the Ohio
river, and while it may do so, its natural
tendency will be rather among the lines
in northern and western territory.
The lines running into Savannah o.far
have not felt the effects of it in any par
ticular Pullman sleepers are used on
the Savannah Florida and Western, the
Florida Central and Peninsular, and the
Charleston ana Savannah railway.
None of these lines have
felt any of the effects of
the strike and their sleeping cars have
been running with as much regularity as
usual. The Central railroad operates its
own sleepers and would be in nowise af-
fected should the strike extend to this
section of which there is scarcely aproba-
bility While many Of the organized
workingmen Of this section are in full
sympathy with the strikers, the trouble
originated from local causes and is almost
too far away from home 70 cause those
in this section to give up their Jobs at a

A LARCENY OF $4,000.
A Husband and Wife Charged With
Stealing From the WifC'S Father.

The Theft Alleged to Have Been Com
mitted While He Was on His Death
bed-Arrest of John and Winifred
Meeks Caused by the Brothers of the
Latter - Warrants Sworn Out in
South Carolina-Both Say They Had
Only $500, Nearly All of Which Has
Been Lost in Business-The Story
Created Sens alton at the Time of
Mr.. Woods Death.
There is a sensational and pathetic
story back of the arrest yesterday of
John and Winfred Meeks, husband and
wife, on a charge of the larceny of about
5000 from the father of Mrs. Meeks, a
Mr.. Woods, who died nearly year ago,
at his home near Ridgeland, s. c. 1t is
alleged that the theft was committed
while Mr.. Woods was sick, Just a few
days before his death.
The story of Mr.. Woods death and the
disappearance Of the money about that
time created quite a sensation and was
widely discussed in the newspapers.
1t was not known what became of the
money, but suspicion for some reason
seemed to attach to Mrs. Meeks, who
was with her father in his last illness,
duu 70 uCE nus Dduu. warrants were
sworn out against them not long ago at
Ridgeland, S. c., and were placed in the
hands of Detective Morgan here, as it
was knOwnl that Meeks and MS wife
subsequently came to Savannah, where
he entered business, conducting a small
grocery store at Walker and
Sims streets. The couple lived at the foot
of Jones street, near the canal. Detective
Morgan has worked on the case for some
fiTOp and ms a n
Jones street, assisted by Detectives Weth-
erhorn and HUMPHREYS. The two were
in buggy at the time, and offered no re-
sistance to arrest.
THE STORY OF THE CASE.
The arrests were caused by w. S.
Woods and j. S. Woods, brothers of Mrs
Meeks, 1t is alleged that while the
father was i'll Mrs. Meeks was nursing
him, and just before he died about 81 900
in greenbacks, which it is said was seen
in a trunk in the fathers room, together
with some gold and silver money, disap-
pearCd.
The money, it is said, was to have been
divided equally among the children, but
it is claimed by the brothers that it was
taken aud they failed to get their share
Suspicion attached to Mrs. Meeks and
her husband.
Another brother, Mitchell Woods.
stated he had received his share of the
money, but said it was stolen from his
room about two days after the death of
his father. This, however, is not in
cluded in the charge against the husband
and wife.
1t was believed that the money had
been brought to Savannah where
it was used in the business
in which Meeks was engaged The
business he did, however, was on a very
small scale, and on the other hand, it was
denied that any such amount had been
used in connection with it.

The Navy Supply Bill.

The report with which Chairman CUM
MINGs OF the House Naval Committee has
accompanied his introduction Of the pend
ing appropriation bill for the navy. fur
nishes an ample explanation and yindiea-
ton of that measure.
Last years bill carried but s22. 1O4. O61 SO.
while the present calls for s25, 2sO. 966. "a.
making an increase Of SS.l76. sO4.s9. at a
time when retrenchment in all the regular
supply bills is desirable. But Mr.. Cum
sIISGs shows not only that this increase is
OF public benefit. but that the bill Is In the
best sense an economical measure. Indeed.
when we note that. for the first time in
eight or ten years. not a dollar OF extra
expenditure Is furnished for new eonstrue-
ton. 1t must be evident that frugality is the
watchwoTd.
Again. while the appropriations now pro-
posed are larger than either last years
or those Of year before last. the reductions
made by the committee from the Official
estimates exceed by little last years. and
by nearly q million those OF year before
last. And yet this year Mr.. HERBKRF had
