CREDIT MEN TO ORGANIZE.
The Secretary of the National Credit
Association Here.


f. r. Boocock of New York, secretary
of the National Association of Credit
Men, arrived in Savannah yesterday, and
is at the De Soto. This afternoon. at 4
O'clock meeting of the credit men of
the city win be held in room IA, board of
trade building, at which all business men
are invited to be represented.
Mr.. Boocock viii speak in behalf of the
National Credit Association, showing
what has already been accomplished. and
what it is possible to achieve in behalf Of
commerce through the influence of this
organization.
Mr.. Boocock said last night in refer
enee to the movement: "The first credit
mems association formed in this country
upon the present lines was organized one
year ago last September in New York.
IL started out with sixty charter men,
Defs and now has a membership of about
20 OF the leading commercial houses of
the metropolis. 1t has a legislative COM
mittee, consisting of seven of the ablest
credit men in New York, and through
their endeavors the association expects
TO accomplish many needed reforms in
our state.
Following New York, New Orleans,
Sioux City, Kansas city ST. Louis and
n.
June OF this year, al a convention in To-
ledo O., at which representatives were
present from twenty-five states, the ma
tional organization was enthusiastically
launched, with w. II. Preston, Sioux City,
president; M. E. Bannn, New York city
wee president T. II. Green, Sioux City
treasurer, and f. r. Boocock. New York
city, secretary"
Since the Toledo convention over TWEEN
ty local associations have been organized
IN as many commercial centers showing
conclusively the necessity for such an or
ganization and the belief on the part of
business men that great good can be ac-
complished through such an agency. Be
fore the next convention, June 8, 10 and IL
in Kansas City, there viii be fully fifty To-
cal associations representing a member
snip upwards of 800 commercial houses"
In two years" said Mr.. Boocock 1.-The
national association confidently expects
to enroll 10000 of the largest bust
ness houses in this country. We will then
have an organization the scope and power
of which will be tremendous. 1t will ena-
bic us to carry on a reformation in state
legislation regarding time transactions
We cannot as yet comprehend the full de-
tails of the organization, but in the next
few years our efforts in legislative halls
is bound to produce the greatest benefit
to the commercial world"
I'm my talk to-day l will clearly indi-
cate some of the reforms that can be ac-
complished by this association, and the
great advance that it can bring about in
the relations between debtor and creditor
The extension of credit is a science. but
all time transactions should so be protect
ed by law as to prevent fraud and injus-
tice."

ASKED TO RULE OUT TESTIMONY.
A strong Fight Being Made Against
nehecca NNeIIs, Cnae

The suit OF Rebecca Wells against the
Brush Electric Light and Power Company
for $4,000 damages for the death of her
husband by current of electricity from
live wire, took another new turn in the
city court yesterday which again set the
counsel for the plaintiff TO thinking.
The day was largely taken up with the
testimony for the defense, and Foreman
East when put on the stand fatty con-
tradicted Coroner Goette's testimony CIV
en- the afternoon before, on the strength
Of which Judge Norwood reversed his de-
cision granting a non-suit and ordered
the case to trial. The foreman claimed to
have warned Marrow Wells about the cur
rent when the whistle blew According
to Coroner Goette's statement, East told
him about twenty minutes after the death
OF Wells, that he had said to Wells when
whistle was heard, Il don't think that
was our whistle 1t must be the mill
whistle go on with your work"
This was the testimony on which Judge
Norwood directed that the case go to trial.
East denied yesterday that he made such
statement, and did not remember having
any conversation with the coroner about
the matter at the time stated
The counsel for the defendant company
e+Aeii iAAeA0C q iilotAOu llidL COIOueI TOellC ,
testimony be ruled out on the grounds
that an employees statement made at a
time when he was not working in the
service of the company, could not bind
the company and, therefore, could not
be used against it. Several authorities
on this line were produced and read to
the court. Judge Twiggs was not exactly
prepared for this situation, and he asked
the court for little time to produce au-
thorities on his side of the question. Judge
Norwood gave him until 10 o'clock this
morning to secure authorities in support
of the Introduction of the testimony and
at that hour the proceedings will be re-
sumed
Coroner Goette's testimony is a very
material point in the plaintiffs case, as
was shown by the action of the court
the hrst day of the trial Without 1t
Judge Norwood would have granted a nom
suit 1t remains now to be seen what will
be done with regard to it.

TO ALLOW OVERHEAD WIRES.
The Savannah Telephone Co.'s Petit
ton Granted by Council

The Savannah Telephone Company was
granted the right, by the city council last
night to use the streets and lanes of The
city for the erection OF poles and the
stringlng Of wires for the erection Of its
lines.
The franchise was granted upon the
condition that the work be done under
the supervision OF the street and lane
committee Another condition is that the
company may be required to remove its
poles aud wires at any time and that IL can
be required to place its wires under
ground whenever the council shall see
fit TO force such requirement upon other
telephone and telegraph companies oper-
atng in the city.
The petition Of Mr. John T. Rowland,
representing the Savannah Telephone
Company. for the use of the streets and
lanes for the purpose stated, has been
before the council several months. 1t
was referred to the committee Of the
whole by the last council and by this
committee was referred to a sub-com-
mittee. The subcommittee never made
report and the petition was pigeonholed
taken on the matter.
The main reason given by members Of
the former council for not taking fav-
orable action upon the petition was that
the Bell Telephone Company, which is
already established here, having gone 90
large expense to place its wires under
ground in the business portion of the
city in Difference to a general sentiment
10 that effect, it did not consider it just
or equitable that a rival company should
be allowed the privilege of stringing it's
wires overhead because it would thereby
be enabled to compete with the older COM
pany al a very much less cost.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the present council by Mr.. Row
land and favorable action was secured.
A r. MacDOnell, Esq. appeared before
the caucus and argued in support of the
petition of the new company. Mr.. Mac
Donelrs argument was doubtless convinc-
ing, judging by the subsequent unani-
nous action of council.
Mr. Rowland stated after the adjourn
ment OF council. that steps for the equip
ment of the new company will begin at
once, and he expects the line to be in
operation within ninety days. A connec-
ton will be made he said, with the long
distance telephone lines now being built
to Savannah from Valdosta and Way
cross, the Bell Telephone Company hav-
ing refused to make such a connection.
The company is backed by home capital,
and is a home enterprise entirely Mr..
Rowland said.

COLLIDED ON A TRESTLE.
Central and f. C. nnd Y. Trains Butt
Each Other


An accident occurred on the Central
railroad about daylight yesterday morning
just beyond the limits of the companys
yards. the result Of which two empty box
cars were rolled down an embankment.
The derailed cars were on the Florida
Central and Peninsular track and were
being pushed with others by a switch en-
CINE. The accident occurred very similar
~ to that not long ago where the Florida
Central and Peninsulars observation car
on the rear OF the vestbule train was
overturned and damaged.
a long train of forty cars was being
pushed towards the city by a Central
switch engine II had reached the june
ton Of the Central with the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsuar tracks when the train
on the latter crashed into II. The Florida
Central and Peninsular train was coming
at an acute angle and the natural result
was that two of its cars should be thrown
from the track They slid down the a.
banlSment and were considerably dam
aged.
No one was hurt, but a negro train
brakeman narrowly escaped being killed.
Near the place where the trains collided
a trestle ends. The train hands near the
engine were over the trestle, which is
sufiiciently high to allow street cars room
and to spare in passing under. Added 10
this hight Of the trestle the hight of the
car put the brakeman some distance in
the air. This did not deter him from
making leap when he saw the collision
was coming, however. His jump 70 the
ground below did not cause him the
slightest Inconvenience, however.
The Florida Central and Peninsular has
n Waterman at the junction TO give warn
ing when trains approach IL is said he
signaned the train on his road to stop. hut
the engineer did not see him.

MIR. MendeI Required TO Bring His
Treasurer's hooks Into Court.
The suits of r. G. Norton, Jr and Will
liam Smith against Mr.. Jonas Mendel for
$40 each, for services during the recent
city election in behalf of the Citizens Club
did not come up in Justice Reynolds court
yesterday morning as was expected
All of the parties interested in the suits
were there at 10 o'clock, and the plaintiffs
wanted Mr.. Mendel to produce the books
he used in keeping accounts of the cam
paign fund which he is said to have dis
trlbuted as treasurer. The treasurer, how
ever, had not brought the books with
him. and for that reason it was decided
to postpone the case.
The law requires in case a subpoena du-
ces tecum is issued in such a case, the par
~ to whom it is directed shall be given
ten days notice. In this case, however,
the defendant will be given still more no
tice than that, as the cases have been as
signed for a hearing on March 3
In the meantime Mr.. Mendel Will be
served with a subpoena duces tecum call
ing on him to produce his books as treas
urer, and that is where the interesting
part OF the story is expected to come in.
There is considerable curiosity in some
quarters to know just how a campaign
fund goes, and the investigation Will be
awaited with interest Mr.. A. A. Law
renee will appear for Mr.. Meddel
The suit for SIS for similar services, on
an order which was given to MIR w. c.
Workman on Mr. Adolph Letter, has been
postponed for a few days at the request of
Mr.. ID. H. Clark, attorney for Mr.. Lefller.
Both parties insist that the plaintiff
have no grounds OF action against them.
