be a large crowd in the police court to
hear the evidence in the case. The as
sault on Commissioner GraysOn is gener-
ally condemned on all sides without re-
gard to politics. Hanley has always been
regarded Is a quiet well behaved young
fellow, and his friends are surprised that
he should have gotten into suen serape.
He made mistake in assaulttng CHAIR
man Grayson, If he wanted revenge for
his discharge from the fire department.
Chief Mcguire stated to a Morning News
reporter shortly after the occurrence that
Mr.. Grayson opposed Hanleys dismissal,
and this statement was confirmed by Mr..
GraysOn himself.
Foreman Cullum's friends hope that he
will be able to show that he had no con-

garded as one of the best firemen in the
department. and has many friends, who
would regret to see his connection with
the department severed.

LEFT TO THE SUGAR TRUST.
The Wholesale GrOcers VIII Abide
by Its Decision,

The Wholesale Grocers Association
of Savannah has referred the
matter of the rate cutting of
sugar to the American Sugar Refining
Company, which controls the whole sugar
business.
President Joseph Ferst said Yesterday
that the wholesale grocers had requested
the advice of the trust in the matter
and will abide by its action The whole
salers are under contract to sell al tho
market price and the wholesale dealer
who violates this contract loses the rebate
allowed by the trust on sales made nv
him. ~
The retail dealers are under no contract
One of the concerns charged with rate
cutting however, is the Great Atlanta
and Pacific Tea Company. This conn.
pany which has large number Of branch
es throughout the country, has a contract
with the trust and buys its sugar al frst
hands, using several thousand barreiS y
month. This contract places It in the now
or OF the trust to punish the cornpenv
for cutting the rates, should the trnst
see Mt 10 do so. The grocers have stonned
their rate cutting, however and bave
gone PACK TO selling sugar at the regular
rates OF sixteen pounds to a dollar. -'''

THE ALLEGED MILLIONAIRE.
Neither DIR. Duncan or MIR. Ravenel
know Anything About Kim.

know Anything About Him.
The alleged millionaire who got the best
of some of the people of Oliver, up on the
Central railroad last week, is evidently
frst-class fake.
The Morning News published yesterday
some correspondence from DR. a. b. La
nier of Oliver with reference to a man
who went there purporting to be a mill
ionaire from Philadelphia. He put up the
story that he was consumptive and was
looking for a healthy salubrious climate
on account Of his health. He pretended
to be DESTROYS of purchasing property ex-
tensively around Oliver and spoke of put
ting up a $4,000 hotel
In speaking of his plan, with reference
to purchasing the property, ne said, OF
course, he would not buy until he had
consulted his attorney, Mr.. RaVenel of
Savannah, as to the titles, and he also
said he had sought Oliver on account of
the recommendation of DIR. Duncan who
told him of its healthy, salubrious eli
mate and said ii was an excellent place
for cOnSumpttVes. He placed himself in
charge of DR.. Lanier as his physician and
also boarded with him while there
Mr.. Ravenel was seen yesterday and
said he knew nothing whatever Of any
such man and that no one had consulted
him with reference to purchasing lands
al Oliver.
DR. Duncan made practically the same
statement with regard to the reference
to his name Not only had he not seen
any such man, but he said he would not
recommend Oliver as place for consump-
tiVes. If he recommended any place, he
said. ii would be ThomasVille or some
point in Florida.
From these facts there would seem to
be no doubt whatever that the alleged mil
lionaire Is an imposter. and that his sto-
ries of untold wealth, $l,500 horses, and
fine carriage, ready money in gold. and
numerous other material possessions of
which he told DR.. Lanier We're creations
OF the tricksters fancy, used merely as
his stock in trade to accomplish his pur-
poses for the time being.
DR.. Lanier did not give the mans name
or description, but 1t might be wise for
him to do so for the benefit of others who
might fall into a similar trap As soon as
the man found he was suspected, he made
haste to leave Oliver, and it is said he took
the north bound train, on the Central
leaving some considerable little indebted
ness behind him.

POLICE IN THE PARADE GROUND.
Their Jurisdiction the Same There
as in the Park Proper.

The question of police Jurisdiction over
what is called the park extension. but
which is properly part Of Forsyth place,
concerning which there has been some diff
ference Of opinion seems to be settled nv
the city ordinance passed in 1867 which
says:
The piece of ground known as the mill
tafy parade ground, containing nineteen
acres. more or less, ana bounded on the
north by Forsyth place on the east bv
Drayton street, on the south bv New
Houston street and on the west by Whita-
ker street Is hereby added to said FORSYTH
1lace ana made part of the same and The
sad t0rSYt IN place so extended as afore-
said is hereby forever set apart as a puhlic
place to be called and known as Forsvt n
place, in the same manner as the said
ground now inclosed is, and has been SET
apart"
The ordinances makes it the duty of the
police TO look after the peace and good
order OF the place. Referring to Forsvt n
place particularly the ordinances say: III
detail a sufficient force to preserve order
and decehcY I'm and around the public mark
known as Forsyth place and such Dolice-
mon so detailed shall arrest and bring he
tore the police court for trial all persons
who may i'm any manner disturb the pllh-
he peace or be guilty of any indecent, RIO
uous or dtsorderly conduct, etc in or
around said park, etc"
There has been some difference of oDin-
ion as TO the right of the police to enforce
the city ordinances prohibiting The Oh
struc ,ing of sidewalks and 10 make arrests
for the dlsorderly conduct which has been
going on i'm the parade ground since il mas

there does not seem TO be any further reS

If the appropriation for the continued

Salt for Fruit Trees.

In your Fruit Grower, a correspon-
dent asks in regard to salt for pears
and other kinds of trees. Let me tell
of a sea captain who always had beau
tiful pears, while his neighbors could
not raise any; on being questioned in
regard to the matter replied 81 salt
'em.n Salt is one of the best fertili-
zers known. I have used it many
wears on all kinds of trees and on my
garden. Put 1t on so thick that 1t
looked like fall of snow. 1 have just
salted my trees and currants. Twenty
years ago I planted pear trees, and one
Bartlett would blossom. full q perfect
mass of white, but no fruit for four
wears, and then I applied the salt, four
Quarts spaded in, and since then 1t has
been an enormous bearer. The best
fertilizer for peach trees is urine. The
best place for a peach tree is planted by
a sink drain or pear tree: nave the
early and late Crawford each side of
nv drain, twenty-five feet high, that
can't be beat for fruit. Use salt llber-
ally, and YOU kill thousands of insects
and the white grubs which are so de-
structive TO the strawberry plant.
MANY farmers here use tons of salt on
their fields with great results. 1t is
cheap. easily applied and no danger in
the use. 1t is great retainer OF mos
ture. I apply it bountifully among
nv Cuthbert raspberries, it keeps the
ground moist and does not produce
weed seeds.

Did any of you, parents, ever hear
YOUR child awake from sleep with some
panic fear, and shrek the mothers
name through darkness? Was not
that a more powerful appeal than all

Burners need a monthly boiling if
they are to give the clear, steady light
which we'll regulated households de-
sire. Vinegar, with little salt sprlnk-
led in it, is the fluid in which they
should be boiled. 'Nicks should never
be cut but the charred portion should
be rubbed off every day with card or
cloth and the loose threads Clipped
with small scissors. Wicks should be
changed frequently. An old wick
becomes tightened and the webbing is
no longer loose enough to draw oil
easily. Chimneys should not be wash
ed, but should be cleaned every day
with O cloth. The tanks should be
filled every day almost to the brim
but not quite.
