COLLIN TURNED LOOSE.
The Recorders Investigation of the
Charges Against Him and Pitts.

Alonzo Collini, who was with "Lovey"
Pitts at the time of the shooting of Adam
Thornburg, is now at liberty.
Recorder Wilson Investigated the
charges yesterday against Pitts and Col
lini of firing pistols on Broughton street.
He fined Colllni $40 or twenty days imprls-
onment and sentenced Pitts to a fine of
$25 or thirty days Imprisonment. COllini
paid his fine arN regained his liberty.
The recorder did not investigate the kill
ing of Thornburg, that having already
been passed upon by the coroner's Jury.
Pitts fine and sentence is only formal as
he would have to remain in Jail anyway,
under the charge of murder and his sem
tence of twenty-five days does not in
crease the length of time he will remain
there.
The evidence showed that after leaving
Yamacraw one of the men fired two pistol
shots on Broughton street. Policeman
Mock heard the shots and being told that
the men were in Gildea's bar room went
there with Policeman Christian
to arrest them. He found
Pitts and Collini there. Pitts de-
MED firing the shots and showed his piss
tol, all.the chambers of which were loaded.
Collini had no pistol. No arrest was made
then. Later two more shots were fired. Po-
liceman Mock with Fireman James Hearn
then arrested the two men and sent them
to the barracks Pitts gave his pistol to
Hearn. The latter gave it to Mr. NJ. Ed.
Wilson. who afterwards handed it to Po-
iiceman Mock.
Neil Gildea and his barkeeper Ivy, were
severely scored by the recorder for selling
liquor to the men while drunk The bar
keeper said he was afraid to refuse them
Adam Thornburg, the murdered man,
was a one time a member of the c. A. r.
post here, but allowed his membership to
lapse several years ago. He was member
of a Pennsylvania cavalry regiment during
the war.

HOLDING FREQUENT MEETINGS.
The Cotton Exchange Committee
Will BE Ready TO Report Soon.

The committee from the Savannah Cot
ton Exchange appointed to investigate as
to the facts why Savannah has been re-
ceiving less than her proportion Of the cot
ton this season has been holding almost
daily meetings for the last week, and it is
underst ood 1t will be ready within a few
days to make a report, and one which 1t is
said will be of some considerable inter
est AS soon as the report of the COM
mittee is ready a meeting of the exchange
will be called. and the report submitted.
The Investigations Of the committee nave
recently been conducted largely among the
railroad men, the former report having
been submitted to some of them, and their
opinions and knowledge of the facts ask
ed. 1t Is presumed therefore that their re-
port will embody considerable information
from the railroads side of the case, and it
may be that some remedy for the situation
will be suggested
The committee, it is stated, has by no
means been idle, but its members have on
the other hand, been devoting the greater
part of their time and attention to the
work before them 1t is expected they will
be heard from shortly, and in fact that is
their intention as the matter they have in
hand, they realize, is Of the most vital in
tcreSt to the port.

Attractive Holiday WINDOWS.

Passers-by along Broughton street are
invariably arrested by the handsome dis
play Of fine Jewelry and holiday goods in
the windows of the well known Stern
berg & Co.'S jewelry house. So valuable
and splendid an exhibition is seldom made
in Savannah, and while of unusual inter
est, scarcely indexes the brilliant display
within.
In their many years residence in the
community, never before have Sternbere
& Co. exhibited stock Of such wide
range of selection or rich novelty. and
visitors who appreciate real elegance are
cordially invited to call and look through
the handsome warerooms. Contemplate
ing or prospective purchasers can make
their selections now, and by making a
small deposit, have the goods set aside
for them, thus escaping the Christmas
rush. Sternberg & Co.'S silverware dis
play is both massive and novel-ad.

Not the Ordinary Kind.

The best bill of fare ever put out is That
of Hicks restaurant. 1t is not the ordi-
nary bill of fare common to Savannah
restaurants, but one unlike any thing
here-and as complete in every detail as
those of the best New York restaurants.
In fact, Hicks runs a New York restau-
rant and can supply any order given
him. You simply ask for what you want
and get it. The New York oysters served
at Hicks are out of sight. They are as
rich In flavor and quality as the most
critical could desire. Hicks is always ar
the head of the high class restaurants
OF the country. He deserves the reputa-
ton he has earned, and he intends TO
make his establishment better all the
time.-ad

WANT A PAVED ROAD.
Property Owners East of the 8. L. n
w. After improvements.

A meeting of the owners of property east
of the Savannah Florida and Western
railway was held at o'clock last night at
the office of Messrs Hull & Lathrop for
the purpose of discussing matters of inter-
est to that section. The property owners
there want the county commissioners to
pave the Waters road at least as far out
as Estill avenue, and then pave Estill ave-
nue. up to Bull street, so that they will
have access to the city by a paved street
1t appears the commissioners are willing
to do this provided certain Instructions on
the Waters road are first removed, one of
these being a house belonging to the
Broughton property. The property owners
met to discuss this proposition, but did
not determine fully what steps they would
take in the matter, and adjourned to the
call of Chairman r. B. Reppard.
