President Conner, when asked about this
matter, said he did not have time to DENY

CITY BREVITIES.

At the sales at the court house in Tues
day, a share of the Mutual Cooperative
Grocery Company was sold for So. so, but
was reported in the Morning News as a
share of the Savannah Grocery Company,
an entirely different concern, and one
whose shares command a premium and
are seldom if ever on the market. The err
ror doubtless was due to the fact that the
Savannah Grocery Company had the share
of the stock of the Mutual Cooperative
sold under an attachment as the property
of NJ. B. Bridges.

HAD NO RIGHT TO REGISTER.
A Father Gets His Son Into Serious
Trouble.

Seventy-seven voters were registered
yesterday. The total of the registration
is now 1857. There is a large crowd OF
hangers-on around the court house, be-
longing to both factions but who do not
appear to be doing much effective work
for either side.
NJ. A. Buttimer, who is watching the
registration for the anti-administration
faction, believes he has got hold of u
case which will enable him to bring an
indictment against w. II. Peck, foreman
of the crematory. Joseph w. Griffin, a
young man employed as a painter at the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
shops, went to the tax collectors office
registered. Yesterday the young man 5
father, J. H. NJ. Griffin, went to the court
house and furnished Buttimer with an
affidavit, stating that his son is not yet
of age and will not be q years old until
Jan. rs, 1898. Mr.. Griffin further stated TO
Mr.. Buttimer, the latter says, that he
discussed the matter with his son pre-
vious to his registering and warned him
that in case he did register he would take
the step which he has taken.
Mr.. Buttimer claims TO be able to prove
that young Griffins action was due to
pressure brought to bear by Mr.. Peck.
This is only one of the numerous small
sensations which will doubtless be devel-
oped during the registration.
Firemen Twice Called out.
The fire department had two runs late
yesterday afternoon, both or which proved
10 be unimportant. One alarm came in
from box As at Price and Hall streets, at
o'clock, and the other from box 70 on the

Both proved to be merely chimney fires
and there was no necessity for sendine
in an alarm in either case.

the afternoon to a small fire near Laurel
