The Officers Making a Thoroug
Search For Him.

DbdICu Z OF IIIu.
Jockey Holmes, the convict who es-
capped from the gang Wednesday after
noon, has not yet been caught, but it is
certain that the only thing that enabled
him to escape capture was the storm
which came up during the afternoon.
Holmes was traced to a point near the
Laurel Grove cemetery, from whence he
went over past the crematory. Capt.
Charles deLodge with posse of guards,
was on the lookout for him during
Wednesday night and yesterday morn
ing, and Detective Morgan also aided in
the search. A telegram was received yes
terday from Manassas, Ga, asking for a
description of the escaped convict, as it
was believed there was man there an
swering his description, but nothing fur
Their has been herd from there.

oorns and other Feet Troubles.

There Is nothing that will put one more
out of humor with himself and the rest of
the world than bad feet; that is, feet with
corns on them or toes with pain-iniiicting
nails, and many people dread going to a
chiropodist like they do visitinga dentist.
There is no reason, however, for such suf-
fering in Savannah, where there is a care
full and skillful local chiropodist, namely,
Mr.. L. Davis, 30 Bull street. Mr.. Davis
has permanent practice among the best
people of the city, and his patients give
him the best Endorsements by continuing
their patronage Ladies can have their
feet attended to either at their homes or
at his Office; at the latter he has q special
room for them. See his advertisement.

Senator German In his speech In the
Benate. on Wednesday. said the Wilson
bill was passed through the House
hastily and without due regard to til
effect upon existing industrial condi
lions; an imperfect measure that no,
only failed to meet the treasury do
mands but actually increased the de
hclt created by the Republican protec
tive duties. There was no expectation
that 1t would become law unchang
cd. Hence the Senate has introduced
amendments, and mGde the bill mo r,
acceptable to the citizens OF the varl
Gus States. To Dem ocrats who coun
sslled haste he said there has neve
been moment yet when the Wilson
bill could command majority vote o.
the Senate.
In the present shape he believed II
would command the Democratic vote
and would soon pass, and from the pro
lection afforded he believed that great
prosperity would be the result The
