The lesson principally to be
learned from this tariff contest and It's
impotent conclusion is that when the
republican party made the protected
interests a partner in the government
1t in fact made them the governing
partner in the firm. The way to cure
the situation, SO intolernble to the
people,, is not to reduce the interest Of
the protected manufacturers, but TO
dissolve the partnership altogether.
The way to reform the tariff Is TO
abolish it. There can be no half wav

A FUGITIVE CONVICT SHOT.
Guard Carroll Sends a Bullet Into
His Head.


His Head.
Tom Hansler, a negro convict, who was
sent up for three months from the city
court on charge of vagrancy, was shot
and seriously wounded yesterday by
Guard Carroll while trying to make his
escape.
Hansler was working with a squad I'M
der Guard Carroll, on the Casey canal
Just south of the intermediate cross road.
About 3 30 o'clock in the morning, Hans
Ter and another negro convict broke away
from the gang into the thick underbrush,
and tried to escape. Guard Carroll could
not see the men, but could see the brush
moving. He fired shot into
II but did not hit either
OF them. Pretty soon Hansler showed
his head about eighty yards from where
the guard was standing The guards aim
was true to the mark and Hansler was
struck by the bullet on the back of his
head. The ball went under the skin,
tearing up the scalp and grazing the
Skull, corning out at the top of his head.
Hansler fell, and the other negro tried
TO get away. The guard saw him when
he was about 100 yards distant and fired
at him. This brought him to a standstill
and several of the TRUSTEES went out and
captured him Hansler was brought in
TO the Georgia lnfrmary, where his
wound was dressed. 1t was believed for
long time that he would die. but he was
getting along all right last night and
seemed to have fair chances for recovery.

BAKING PONDER.
THE PETITION DISMISSED.
No Receiver for the Franklin Savings
and Security Company.

and Security Company.
The petition of Thomas J. O'Brien and
others against the Franklin Savings and
Security Company, and c. p. Miller and
George H. Miller for injunction and re-
ceiver, was heard before Judge Falligant
in the superior court yesterday.
The claim in the bill was substantially
that the president, MIR. c. p Miller, had
sold to the company tract of land be-
longing to himself at greater price than
1t was worth, and that they had sold it
as the property of some outside party, the
other directors having no knowledge that
1t was Mr., Miller's property when it was
so purchased.
The other two directors Messrs. H. 7.
Moore and r. S. Nell, were put on the
stand, and they testified that the Messrs.
Miller properly conducted the affairs of
the company, and that they knew and
were in position to know that the prop
erty purchased belonged to them when 1t
was purchased. The defendants made a
general denial of the allegations in the
bill, which was sustained by the testi-
mony, and the bill was dismissed without
further discussion. The receivership
was denied, and the temporary restrain
ing order was dissolved.
In the case of the mayor and aldermen
OF the city of Savannah against the
Vernon Shell Road Company, in which a
verdict was rendered in the company's
favor for $500, Judge Falligant refused
a new trial.
in the case of Herman Myers against
George I. Cam, guardian, the motion for
new trial was overruled. The suit was
for piece of property left to Viola Jones,
valued at about 81 900, on which Mr. My
! ers endeavored to obtain letters of ad-
ministratiOn on account of debt which
the owner, before his death, contracted
with Savannah Grocery Company.
In the case of Joseph +. Freeman
| against Jane E. Freeman for divorce an
order was taken to perfect service on the
defendant by publication.
! An order was taken providing for the
| hearing of motion for a new trial in the
| case of +. B. kellar charged with seduc-
| ton, at any time during vacation on three
/ days notice from either side.
! The superior court ad burned for the
| term last night at 6 o'clock. There is
| considerable business in chambers to
! come up before Judge Falligaut during
! vacation, however, and the work of the
! court is not over by any means.
