The temperature dropped TO freezing
early i'm the evening. and when the obser-
walton was taken at the weather bureau
at o'clock IL was down TO 30 degrees. It
went much lower. however, than that. The
wind was high, and made the cold Sc
verely felt.
a slight furry Of snow fell soon after
dark. The indications are for a heavy
freeze this morning. Ice formed early
last night and water pipes were frozen
solid.
The early crops and the blossoms on
fruit trees are all in danger, Ii IS not be-
heyed, however, thai the freeze Will be
sufficiently severe TO DO any extensive
damage.
The early pea crop is about the only
thing that is out of the ground in the truck
line. and some of these are way above the
ground. They can stand pretty cold
weather if there is not too much frost.
They are all up now, and they VIII suffer

Mr. NJ. l.. Exley said last night that
while he thought the early pea crop would
perhaps be slightly damaged. he did not
Tear any serious injury to It, and thought
II the weather mOderates to-day. as is ex-
peeted, IL would pull through all right.
The truckers have begun to plant pota-
toes but none of them are as yet above
the ground. These, therefore, will not be
auected, unless the freeze should go some
three or four inches below the top of the
ground. which Is by no means probable.
The chances are that the fruit trees may

thing over 100 selected singers were pres

DR.. Palmer was introduced by Mr. ]
A. Bates, who. though he knew the well
known and popular gentleman and in
structor needed no Introduction, deemed
IL necessary to make a few remarks bv
way OF explanation.
Mr. Bates said that after considering
the matter, II had been decided not to
give another musical festival this year
but that DR.. Palmer had kindly consented
to stop here on his way to Florida and
have a rehearsal in order that concert
might be given for the purpose of paying
the Indebtedness which the Festival Cho-
RAJ Society had incurred, and which had
not been paid. He spoke very pleasantly

more in five minutes with his magic stick
than he could say in five hours.
DIR. Palmer responded very pleasantly.
but briefly He said he was glad to be in
Savannah again, and greeted the MEM

once to work, and found that the sing
ers had by no means forgotten what they
had already been taught

many OF the male singers were unable to
attend, but there was a large attendance

ANOTHER INTERVENTION FILED.
A New York Firm Has n Big Claim
Against CrOhan s. DOOneF.


Durham. Buckley & Co. Of New York.
through. their attorneys. Garrard. Mel
drim & Newman, filed a bill OF interven-
ton in the superior court yesterday in
the case Of J. W. McIntire and others.
against Crohan & DOoner. in which they
allege that between oct. Il, 1885, and Jan.
p 1886, the defendants bought certain
goods from them, giving notes for the
same due in three. four. five and six
months, amounting to S,922.14 They also
state that in 1886 Messrs. Crohan & Doom
er bought one bill Of S4ll.55. and another
Of S274.4l. making total Of s2eOs.l0
They state that they dealt with Crohan
& Dooner as a solvent firm. as they re-
ceived a statement from the firm in April,
1894. showing the net worth Of the firm
to be S2if00. They say they relied on this
statement as being truthful. and sold them
goods thereafter up to 1896.
Now they say they are Informed that
Messrs. Crohan & DoOner owe $500 in
Guiding about $1,000 of mOrtgaged indebt
edness, which would leave about $1,000 or
$4,000 of unsecured indebtedness, the lat
ter amount including about 5000, claimed
to be due by the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company. AS to the mortgage
debts, the petition states that the inter
venOrs know nothing and cannot state as
yet whether, in their belief. these amounts
are really due or not.
The petition states further that Crohan
DoOner have no visible assets, except
their stock Of goods, which Is now being
lnventorted, and which viii probably
amount to somewhere between $1,000 ana
$4,000 in nominal value, and as to the
notes and accounts the petition states
that SO much thereof as may be good have
been sold by MessSr. Crohan x Dooner
within few days past to some person
or persons unknown for alleged indebted
ness.
goods relying on the sovency of the firm,
In which they believed they were guar
anteed by the statement OF the condition
Of the firm given them in April, 1894. The
believe the firm was insolvent at the time
that statement was given, and that Gro
han & DoOner have concealed from them
many debts which they owed.
The petitioners state that they now
desire to recover the goods which they
sold to Messrs. CrOhan & DoOner and
which they claim the firm secured from
them by fraud and false statements. The
goods which they seek to recover, or
some of them, they say, are now in the
hands of Mr.. G. Fraser Law, as receiver
and they cannot tell what goods belong
to them unless they are allowed to make
an examination. They ask an order OF
court, allowing them to intervene and to
select their goods from the stock, which
as they claim, were secured from them
by fraud. When their goods have been
selected they ask that the receiver be di-
rected to turn thew over to them
Judge Falligant granted an order allow
ing the petitioners to intervene and sep
arate the goods which belong to them
and an inventory of the goods so set aside
to be made by the receiver. The matter
or costs is to be determined later.

d. L. Moody the famous evangelist,
which will begin Feb, q.
Very encouraging reports were made
by the chairman OF the different COM
mittees who We're present, and a full sue

meetings twice daily thereafter. All
meetings will be held in the Independent
Presbyterian church.
Everything VIII be done to make the
meetings the most interesting that have
ever been held in Savannah. Mr.. Moody's
presence alone will be sufficient to attract
larger crowds, no doubt, than the hide
pendent Presbyterian church can posi-
bly, accommodate, and the committee Is
looking into the matter of arranging ser
vices to he beld at the First Baptist
church in case of overflow meetings
a large chorus. composed of sweet sing
ers from various churches, will be quite
all lihltItollilB feature OF the occasion,
and as Prof. Spencer NJ White is to
have charge, the music will be made a
prominent factor in the work Mr. Moody
loves good music and he always has il
wherever he conducts meetings
The Moody chorus will rehearse on Wed
nesday and Friday night at Wesley Mon
umental church at $50 o'clock. All those
who are going to lend their voices are

OF all evangelical denominations and to
him the foremost men and women of
England and America have listened with
pleasure and profit. He is a leader in re-
hglous educational work, and in great
philanthropies, a man of one book, and
that book the Bible; strong I'm his con-
Victions, direct, practical, tender and pow

NO MONEY TO PAY FOR 1T.
The Park Commission and the For
syth Park Fence.


The fence around Forsyth park win not
be taken down Immediately. The park
and tree commission, which petitioned
the city council for permission to remove
the fence. proposes to wait now for the
health and cemetery committee to re-
move it, as that committee is to have the
fence for use around on the eastern side
of Laurel Grove cemetery.
The members of the health and ceme-
terry committee are in no hurry to re-
move the fence because the appropria-
tlon Tor Laurel Grove cemetery is rather
Scant any way, and the committee does
not feel that ii has the money to snare
Tor the purpose. The budget of the park
and tree commission is small and the
commission is not going to undertake
any extra expense that can with any
snow OF justice be charged to any other
department
The result will probably be that council
Will be asked to make special appro-
priation for the transfer of the fence from
the park to the cemetery.
Inc commission discussed the removal
OF the fence along with other matters at
us meeting yesterday afternoon. When
the fence is removed the park will be
left open without curbing or coping to
separate the park from the sidewalk The
walks which are now inside the fence
will be thrown into the CASTOR, Drayton
and Whitaker walks, which will give
wide sidewalks around three sides of the
park. The commissioners are of the
opinion that this will give a much better
effect than if the park were separated
from uhe street by coping or eurbing.

MADE HIS LAST VOYAGE.
A Sailors Death on Board the
Schooner Jennie Thomas.

Schooner Jennie Thomas.
f. NJ. Mccarthy, aged 40, a seaman
native of England, died of heart failure
yesterday morning on board the schooner
Jennie Thomas.
Capt. Young of the schooner reported
the case to Coroner Goette, who took
charge of the body and had it properly
cared for.
The schooner Jennie Thomas sailed
from Baltimore Feb. and arrived at this
port last Saturday. On the voyage out
Mccarthy complained at times of having
pains in the chest, but did not seem Sc
riously i'll. on arrival here Capt. Young
sent him to DIR. Keller, surgeon in charge
of the United States hospital service. I'm
der the law a sailor is required TO show
a service of three consecutive months
on an American vessel as a condition for
admission to the hospital. This Mccarthy
could not or would not do, as to the sur
geon's inquiries he responded in an Of
fensve manner and left the office dis
gruntled. He returned again to the YES
sci and remained on board with no indi-
cation of serious disease, but yesterday
morning about 4 o'clock he died.
Capt. Young is of the opinion that his
disease was aggravated by drink during
the time he was ashore, as he plainly
showed that he had been INDUCING quite
freely when he returned to the vessel.
Mccarthy shipped on the schooner Jen-
ME Thomas at Baltimore, but nothing fur
Their was known of him than what APP
peared on the shipping articles, as L. Nc

MORE FIT. OGLETHORPE PLUMBER.
Wesley johnson Arrested in Augusta
and His Wife in Savannah

and His Wife in Savannah.
Wesley Johnson, who was arrested in
Augusta two or three days ago on a war
rant sworn out before United States Com
missioner M. A. Connolly of the United
States court on a charge of stealing rope
and other government property from Fort
Oglethorpe, was brought down to Savan-
nah last night, and placed in Chatham
county jail, where he was committed by
United States Commissioner Calvin of
Augusta in default Of bond, and to await
trial.
Johnson was brought down by Deputy
Marshal Whitley, TO whom he made a
statement before arriving at Savannah.
IN which he admitted that he was with
his brother James johnson and two 9th
ers at the time the 10000 pounds of rome
We're, stolen from Fort Oglethorpe, for
which his brother was sent to the Column
bus penitentiary by Judge Speer for four
years.
In the hearing before Commissioner
Calvin, at which Johnson was committed
an effort was made to secure Sarah
Johnson, the wife of Jim Johnson, as
a witness, but Sarah, who lives in Sa-
Vannah, would not reSDond to the sI,h
poena, and did not go to Augusta
Information to this effect was brought
to Commissioner Connolly with other
facts showing that She probably knows
something about the case, and she was ar
rested last night about 10 o'clock. on a
warrant charging her with receiving
stolen goods. There were found in her
room one mattress, one pair of blankets
and one clock, which were Identified as
government property and which are said
to have been taken from Fort Oglethorpe
This is some of the stuff that is used by
the snag boats which is stored in the
fort when not in actual use.
Sarah could give no satisfactory ac-
count of the manner in which she came
into possession of the property. She was
committed 10 Jail by the commissioner,
and will be given a hearing before him
this afternoon.
This makes four parties who have been
arrested in connection with that theft
from the fort, which was committed last
summer: The only stuff found at that
time, which had been taken, was a lot
of rope, some of which was put in evil
dence at the trial A lot of rope was
taken from the fort and disposed of by
the thieves. 1t is said there may still be
other arrests in connection with the steal.
