THE EXCURSIONS ENDED.
The Railroads Decline TO Continue
Them ANY Longer


The Merchants Trade Association ex-
nounced several days ago would probably
be the case, are at an end. The railroads
have declined to continue them.
A conference between the general pas
senger agents and traffic man
ayers representing the various rail-
road lines and the transporta ton
held several days ago. No definite
understanding was arrived at then.
The railroads have now announced that
they cannot continue the excursions.
They received so many protests from the
merchants in the smaller towns along
their lines against the excursions that
they were iudisposed to continue them
The country merchants claim that their
trade is carried away to the cities by the
excursions. The railroads also say that
their passenger business is interfered
with by the excursions, and that If they
are given to Savannah other cities
will demand them. These are the
reasons given the trade association for
the discontinuance of the excursions.
Treasurer Bates, Of the association, has
nearly 81, 900 on hand of the fund sub
scribed by the merchants for the excur-
sions. What will be done in place of
them is not known. There is general re-
greet that at least two more
could not be arranged for, one
from Southwest Georgia, and one from
along the Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad, and it is not impossible that the
Florida Central and Peninsula may give
an excursion, but there is nothing definite
The action of the railroads, so far as con-
tinuinR the plan of excursions, is believed
to be final.
The merchants who subscribed to
the movement, and those who
took an active interest In
1t are more than satisfied with the results
of the excursions given last month. They
brought trade to Savannah, and that was
what was wanted. There is no doubt in
the opinion of the retail merchants that
the excursions, if they could have been
continued, would have done more for
Savannah than any similar enterprise that
has vet been undertaken.

Sailors of the Bark Nevada Who
Have Never Got Their Money.
Some of the sailors of the bark Ne
vado, which SAILED from Rio, on board of
which there was some trouble, and which
finally put into port here, are still In the
city waiting for their pay from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the bark, which is
still in the hands of the court.
The bark came in here nearly two wears
ago, and attachments were sued out
against it in the United States court.
The litigation was wound up nearly a
year ago, the bark was sold at public out
cry, and the matter left in the hands of
the judge of the United States court.
Five of the sailors, all of whom are for
eigners, are still in the city, awaiting the
decision of the court in the matter, and
the distribution of that portion of the
proceeds which goes to them as their
salary. Since the matter was taken up
by the court, two of the sailors have died
and one of them has left this part of the
country. Five of them are still waiting.

A SLICK PAIR CAUGHT.
Detective Morgan Bags Two Regulars

Time.

Detective Morgan Bags Two Regulars
Who Have Been Thieving For Some
Time.
George Simmons and Joe Rivers, two
young negro thieves, about IS or 10 years
old, were very prettily caught by Detec-
tive Morgan yesterday and were sent to
Jail on warrants charging them with
larceny from the house.
Simmons was employed at times in the
capacity of an errand boy around the
Masonic hall, and Rivers, who did not
have any occupation, was his chum The
two were together a great deal, and went
on errands for anybody around the hall
who called on them. Things began to dis
appear from certain Offices in the build
ing some time ago, but no direct clew as
to the thieves was obtained until
recently. Mr.. ]. X. Smith, a rep
reseutatiye Of the Collier stationery
house in Atlanta, has an ONCE in
the building, and during his absence
books, albums, stationery and clothes dis
appeared. At one time he missed $40
suit Of clothes, and he put the matter at
once into the hands of Detective Morgan.
1t was found that some of the articles
had been taken to Strauss pawn shop. He
had taken pair of pantaloons of which
he put Detectice Morgan on notice, and
they were afterwards. identified by Mr.
Smith. Simmons and Rivers were sus-
pected Of the work and they fitted the
descriptions of the thieves given by
Strauss. Detective Morgan had one Of
the occupants of the building send
note by Simmons to DIR. Broad
foot's office and he arrested him
on his arrival there. Rivers was caught
in the same way. Simmons confessed the
whole affair, and said Rivers had key to
Mr. Smiths room, by which they had
been enabled to enter whenever they
wanted to. Rivers denied all knowledge
of the thefts, but both were identified by
Pawnbroker Strauss as the boys who had
brought the articles To his shon
