Low RATES FOR THE APRIL SHOOT
The Committee in Conference With
the Railroad Men.


The Military Interstate Association of
Savannah has not been idle, in spite of
the fact that little has been said about it,
for the last two or three weeks.
The steering committee has had a meet
ing with the passenger agents of the diff
ferent railroads running into Savannah
for the purpose of making arrangements
with regard to railroad rates, and it is
believed the most advantageous rates
will be allowed.
Col. William Garrard, Capt. W. w Will
hanson, Messrs. w. ]. Lindsay and j. NJ
Dixon had a meeting with Messrs. H. c.
McFadden, j. c. Halle and A. O. Mac
Donell, general passenger agents of the
three prominent railroad systems run
ming into Savannah, and all of them We're
agreed that such a celebration as is pro-
posed should have the lowest possible
rates. They said they would take up the
matter before the Southern States Pas
senger Association at the next meeting
of the rate committee, which will be held
the second Tuesday of this month, and
they win then endeavor to get the low
est rate possible for the association.
1t is not probable that the committee
will hold another meeting until that time
as it is necessary first to know what the
railroads VIII do before any definite action
with regard TO the programme can be
taken. The fact, however. that the roads
most directly interested have agreed to
work for the lowest possible rates pretty
we'll assures the belief that the associa-
ton will have no trouble on that score.

MIR. FREEMAN's CONDITION.
1t Is Critical, and the Most Expert
Medical Skill Is Being Used.

Mr.. Milo S. Freeman. an account of
whose severe injury by being thrown from
a hack on Liberty street, was given in
yesterdays Morning News, was reported
from the Savannah hospital last night as
being somewhat improved, but he is still
in a critical condition.
Mr. Freeman recovered consciousness
during the day, but wandered in his mind.
The physicians have not yet decided
whether there is a fracture of the skull.
A consultation will probably be held this
morning to decide the extent of his in
juries
Mr. Freeman is receiving the most care
full attention. While he is not out of dan
ger, his case is not considered as serious
as when he was first brought to the hos
pital
Nothing has been done to apprehend the
two boys who threw the firecrackers I'M
der the horse of the hack in which Mr.
Freeman was riding, and thus caused the
trouble. No report of the matter was
made to the police barracks, and the de-
tectiVes have not been given any clew
to work upon.

Oriul Exercises.
The board of managers of the Society
of the Sons of the Revolution was called
together recently by President John Screw
en- for the purpose of considering the
matter of entertaining the Rhode Island
journalists and others who will come here
this month for the purpose of paying a
tribute to the memory of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene.
Both President screven and the mana
gers were of the opinion that the society
should take part in the exercises and
aid in entertaining the visitors. They
have requested the mayor, however, to
write and find out just when the party
will he in Savannah so that a meeting
OF the society can be called at the right
time.
There are about 125 members of the So

live outside of Savannah, and the ma

come if a definite time were named.
1t is desired to have a fun representa-

sheriff Farmer of Jefferson County
Disappointed in BOstick.

Disappointed i'm 8Ostick.
Sheriff Farmer of jefferson county did
not take Barlow Bostick back with him to
jefferson county. Bostick. as has been
previously stated. was arrested, charged
with the murder of negro woman in
jefferson county several years ago. When
Sheriff Farmer was notified of the arrest
he thought the man might be Henry
Horne, who killed negro woman several
months ago. When he saw Bostick he
was disappointed The killing, which was
admitted by Bostick, occurred several
years before the election of Sheriff Far
mer, and the later knew nothing of it,
According to the statement of Bostick
the killing occurred on the line of Burke
and Jefferson counties, and he did not
know in which county it occurred. He
claims that the shooting was accidental.
Sheriff Farmer requested Chief McDer-
mott to hold Bostick until he could return
to Jefferson county and investigate the
affair.
Horne, the negro whom Sheriff Farmer
was in search of came to Savannah short
ly after the killing with which he is
charged, and was arrested here by the
police several months ago on account of
his connection with some larceny case.
The police had received no notification
from jefferson county however, to look
out for any such man.

THE MAYOR TO HEAR CHARGES.
Policeman Jernigan's Case 20 BE In

Mayor Myers will hold a session at the
police barracks tonight. which from all
indications will be well attended The
principal event on the programme is the
trial OF Policeman Jernigan on charges
preferred by Sergt Killourhy Of miscon-
duct and INSTRUMENTATION while on duty
at the magistrates election in the Second
district last Saturday.

with pulling intending voters out Of line.

officer. According to the statement of a
friend Of Jernigan, Mr. Collman con-
tinued to worry the policeman about the
matter until the latter called on the SER
geant to make him leave him alone. This
brought on some further conversation
between the sergeant and the private
ending In the latter's charging the former
with cursing him and resulting in Jerni-
GAM arrest.
In this connection it has been recalled
that Jernigan and another policeman were
dismissed from the force by Mayor Nc
Donough about two years ago for speaking
unexpectedly of Sergt. Killourhy in
quarters. Both officers were reinstated
shortly afterward on account of their
previous good records, and it is naturally
supposed that the two officers bore each
otner no love on account of the former
affair.
The case of Policeman Bostick, charged
with disorderly conduct while in citizens
dress at the same election, will also be
heard by the mayor.

GIVEN TO THE WRONG PARTY.
The Mistake That Has Got Justice
Elect CoIIman in Court.

AAAtEA NOuEts
A rule against Charles Goldman as dep
uty sheriff has been issued from the SUI
perior court requiring him to show cause
on Jan. 13 why he should not pay over
to c. Bolden, in the case of Bolden against
NJ. J. Christopher, $115 which was collected
from the sale of property belonging to
the defendant, against which an execu-
ton was issued in favor of Bolden, but
which was afterward sold under another
execution from a justice court, the de-
PENDANT having given bond in the first
instance.
The statement of Mr.. Goldman I'm this
connection explains the facts in the case.
THE facts are" he said, that the
property in question was levied on about
two years ago by him IN MS ofilcial ca
pacity as deputy sheriff. An affidavit Of
illegality was fled and the property re-
plevled. which means that bond was
furnished him and the property surren-
dered to the person from whom it was
taken. About six months after this an
other execution and mortgage f. ia. was
placed in his hand to be levied upon the
same property. The executions were lev
Ted and the property sold hereunder
The fund arising from the sale of the
property was promptly distributed by the
court 10 the plaintiffs in execution.
The claim is now made by the plaintiff
in fl. ia. for whom the first levy was
made that Mr. Collman, as deputy sheriff
when he levied on the property the second
time under another fl. IA, and sold II,
ought to have held up the money until
the first execution was disposed of, in
stead of allowing the court to distribute
the fund to those owning the execution
under which the money was brought into
court.
If Mr. Goldman has made a mistake in
allowing the court to distribute the fund,
he will of course, be then responsible to
nav the first Judgment. If no mistake has
been made in the law then he will not have
to pay the judgment, and the rule Will
be dissolved by the judge. There is no
claim that any money is Illegally with
held. The only claim is that 1t was turn
ed over to the wrong party.

OOuEN.
New Years day with the police only
resulted in six cases for Recorder Wilson
to pass upon yesterday morning, five ne
groes and one white man. The white man
was fined $40 for being very drunk and
resisting the officer Two of the negroes
were dismissed, two paid IS apiece for
boisterous drunks, and one paid 50 for
a plain drunk. The most satisfactory
part about it was that all the parties
paid their fines, which Clerk Manucy
hopes Will establish precedent for the
year.
The police say the negroes have a ssu-
perstition that a person who has bad
luck on the first day of the year will
have trouble all the year, and, conse-
quently they avoid difficulties on that
day as far as possible regarding arrest
as especially calanitous The police re-
greet that this tradition is losing it's hold
