A STRIKER ON THE WATCH.
Things Are Quiet. But 1t Is Said lie
Keeps the Police Posted.

Though It is reported that some Of the
striking longshoremen are still intmidat-
ing and endeavoring to influence the men
now at work. the situation all in all seems
10 be so peaceable as 70 bear evidence to
the truth of the statement that the strik-
ers want no trouble.
A number of people have been heard to
commend the strikers for the remarkable
order they have maintained throughout.
There has been none OF the riotng that
made the former strikes SO serious. Re
corder Hartridge, in speaking Of the mat
ter, said that there have been several
cases brought before him which investi-
cations have proven were without foun-
dalton. All the trouble he says has been
accredited to the strikers but when the
witnesses were examined 1t was proven,
often by the testimony OF PERSONS who
could not have any interest in the strike,
that the longshoremen were not guilty Of
the charges brought against them. The
recorder says he thinks the men are de-
! serving of credit for the orderly manner
in which they have acted. and that he
| hopes they vii. continue to be as peacea-
BILE.
The ship agents say they have now all
the men absolutely necessary for the load
| ing of the vessels, and that there is no
possible chance for the strikers to win
their fight One of them said that he be-
lieves the failure of the strikers in Brun-
wick to carry their point will have the
effect of causing the union here to give
over its effort to get higher wages. 1t Is
stated by one of the firms that some Of
the strikers are now returning to work.
1t is also said that the men who have
stuck by the agents in their difficulties,
and come in to help them out in the load
ing of the vessels will be given the pref
erence in positions.
The agents say they will not discharge
the new and inexperienced men as soon
as the strikers profess an intention of re-
Stunning their places. There was a great
deal of complaint last season about there
not being sufficient work at times to keep
all the men employed. If the union should
decide to go back to work there would
be the same number of jobs, with more
mem to fill them, so that the distress
would be even greater.
The strikers have many Sympathizers in
the city. A subscription list was started
for them some time ago, and it was said
that nice sum was secured. The ship
agents look upon this as an interference
with their business and do not think that
the cause of the strikers should be sup
ported.
One of the agents said last night that
there is one of the leaders of the strikers,
an officer in the union, who is letting the
authorities on 20 everything that takes
place in the meetings. This, he said, is
done in order that there may be con-
slant understanding of the movements of
the strikers, and that the police may be
in readiness in the event OF any trouble
being planned. The ship agent did not
give the name of the officer, but said he
was high up in the ranks

THINKS THEY ARE BULLDozED.
Railroads Refuse the Original Pack
ages Even without Risk.

Railroads Refuse the Original Pack
ages Even without Risk.
Several different lines of railway in
Georgia, have refused to carry the "origl-
nal packages" OF liquor, which are being
shipped from this state to South Carolina,
and there received by the agents of the
shippers. The result ofthis action on the
part of the railroads, has been such as to
give rise to litigation between them and
firm of shippers at Atlanta.
This litigation was begun by the ship
pers insdtuting suit against the railroads,
in which, among other things, they prayed
that the roads be compelled by mandamus
to receive and deliver the freight as COM
mon carriers. The mandamus, it is under
Stood was not granted by United States
Judge Newman, but the final hearing of
the case, was set for Oct. 9, at which time
it is possible that a decision will be rem
dered that will greatly concern the liquor
shipping interests of Georgia.
What do you think is the actual reason
for the refusal of certain railroads, to haul
original packages?' was asked of a
leading Bay street merchant yesterday.
"Aly idea can be given in a NUTSHELL"
said he. when the roads gave as a rea-
son for not accepting our freight
that they were inadequately
protected in case Of wreckage, certain
Savannah firm, to my own knowledge, Of
fered to enter into a contract, by placing
only nominal valuation on the shipment
in other words, we would agree 10 value a
thousand dollar consignment at five or ten
dollars. Certain roads were so notified
but promptly replied that they could not
receive the freight.
up to this time l was not so inclined TO
believe as | am now that the protesting
roads were possibly actuated by other
matters in refusing packages than the ones
which | thought at first existed. do not
know, however, whether or not these
roads are being bull-dozed by the state
departments al Columbia into taking such
steps as an alternative administrations an
noyances, such as heavier railroad taxa
ton and curtailment of dispensary bust
ness"
No serious hitch has come to the Sa-
vannah merchants as yet, because they
have the advantage of taking to the
waters" The decision which may be
handed down by Judge Newman at At
lauta on Oct. will be such as to attract
great interest from the Original package
shippers of the state.

LAST DAY FOR CARDS.
VIII BE About 700 New Pupils In the
Public Schools.

Cards of admission to the public schools
were given out by Superintendent Ash
more yesterday as on the day before, and
it is thought that there will be about 700
new pupils. In nearly all of the schools
the higher grades are filed, while plenty
of vacancies exist in the first grade. Hen
ry street school is the only exception to
this rule. There the first grade, as well
as the others, are filled.
1t has been found that the tuition fee
at the High school is likely to keep away
more girls than boys. There was a prob
ability that there would be not enough
boys in the first grade of the school to
warrant two teachers, but 1t has now been
found that the grade will probably have to
be divided. There is only one teacher for
this grade of the boys department, no sue
cessor having been elected to fill the place
left vacant by the transfer of Mr.. Sims
to the principalship of Chatham school
No. l.
Prof. P. F. Brown, principal of the Bar
nard street school,, is expected to return
to-day. He has spent the summer at
Chicago, where he took special course
in pedagogy and literature.
There will be a meeting of all the teach
ers at 10 o'clock this morning at the High
school

A CITY CHEMIST NEEDED.
MIX Not the Only Article of Adulter-
ated FeOd.

atcd FoOd.
The agitation in favor of city milk in
spector meets with the hearty approval
of Health officer LeHardy.
what we need" said he, in speaking
with a Morning News reporter yesterday,
sis a city chemist, whose duty it should
be to inspect not only milk. but other food
products, both solid and liquid. Adulter-
atoms of all kinds are practced upon our
people, adulterated beer, wines, tea, coffee,
and, in fact almost every article of food
that can be named where adulteration is
possible Proper penalties should be pro-
vided for these authorizations and compe-
tent chemst-nspector appointed, whose
duty it should be TO secure samples of
these various products and make analyses
to discover authorizations.
milk is not only the food product adul-
terated by great deal, but it is one of
the most important by reason of tbe fact
that disease can be conveyed by impure
milk easier than by almost any other food
product"
Dr. LcHardy had glass tube on his
desk containing a specimen of milk which
he undertook to analyze day or two ago,
but the analysis of which he has not had
time to complete on account of the press
of other matters.

WILL TAKE FHANTz BACK.
Deputy sheriff HeSser Has Been Sc
Iected to Make the Trip.

From all indications. it at last appears
that Jacob Frantz, the demented Ger
man, now confined in the Chatham county
jail, is to be returned to the home Of his
native land. The prospect of his return
has been made possible, by work of
charity, which has been done in his be-
half.
Initiative steps toward the obtaining Of
means for transporting Frantz to Ger
many, were taken by Mrs. H. E. Thorn
rs, when she commenced soliciting con-
tributions among her acquaintance The
subscription list grew steadily higher each
day, until it now represents about the re-
CURED amount. When this amount had
been obtained, it was thought that the
time had come for active preparations,
among which was the selection of some one
to accompany the man on the voyage. 1t
was decided that Deputy Sheriff Simon
Hesser, who is a naturalized German, and
who has, by reason Of his nationality, been
constantly kept in close touch with the
| unfortunate Frantz, would be the best
man to make the trip. He has already
taken the necessary steps to obtain a
passport for himself but will be some
what delayed on account of having to send
to Kings county, New York. for a GER
titled copy of his naturalization papers,
which will have to reach Savannah before
he can send his application for a passport,
to the state department at Washington.
When this certified copy of naturaliZa-
ton arrives, the application will at once
be forwarded in time to allow Mr.. Hesser
to start about Tuesday for Baltimore,
where he and Frantz will take a steamer
| direct for Bremerhaven. From this
! place Mr.. Hesser says he will go $50 miles
by rail to Hanover, where Frantz will
be incarcerated in the asylum, which is
said to be one Of the finest on the CONT
nent. Mr.. Hesser says he hopes to return
to Savannah within six or eight weeks.
| Jacob Frantz came to this city about
! two years ago on the tramp steamer Mary
Elizabeth. He was an engineer, and in
| company with three of his fellows, desert
| ed the vessel. 1t was but short time
after the steamer had left port until
Frantz was found in the cathedral acting
| very curiously for a sane man. He was
! arrested and committed to Jail, but was
/ later released on the recommendation of
| Mr.. Hesser who told the sheriff that he
! could see nothing wrong with the man.
However, after being released, he grew
| worse, until it became known that he had
! lost his mind altogether. He was again
| taken into custody by the authorities, be-
! ing confined for the past two years, part
| of the time at a private asylum in Mil
| ledgeVille, where ne was sent through
! the efforts of Judge II. L. Ferrin and
| others, but for the past several months
at the county Jail here.
Mr.. George W Beckett is attending to
/ the legal matters in connection with the
! contemplated trip A hearty response has
| been made by the public to the appeal
| for FTantz, and especially was this so
| with the German citizens of Savannah

THE AFFAIR REGRETTED.
The Commissioners Anticipate No
Further Difficulties.

The unexpected occurrence in the eau
Gus of the county commissioners, in which
Chairman Dale and Commissioner Kehoe
were the leading figures. furnished much
food for discussion yesterday, and there
were all sorts of comments about it. In
county circles especially the topic was an
exceedingly live one.
Chairman Dale and Commissioner Ke-
hoe met yesterday at the meeting of the
directors of the National Bank of Savan-
nah, of which board they are both MEM
bers, and sat side by side, as though moth
ing unusual had ever happened. Chair
man Dale expressed his regrets to his
brother commissioners that he had allow
ed his temper to get the better of him on
such an occasion and also to Capt. Dill
lon for having threatened to strike him,
which, of course, he said he never in
tended to do. Thus has the matter been
entirely smoothed over, and though the
differences of opinion in the board still
exist, it is believed that there will be no
more such difficulties

SAID HE SHOT AT HIM.

:. 8. Johnson, Arrested by Detective
GOdbOId, sNears Out Warrant.
s. s. johnson, a colored man, was
slightly injured by Policeman G. S. God
bold yesterday morning. For a time, it
was reported on the streets that the negro
had been shot, but such were not the facts.
johnson appears to have been going
along Farm street leading COW and calf.
Policeman Godbold met him, and had his
suspicious aroused because johnson, who
is well known to the police, had such
property in his possession. When the
officer made a break to investigate where
the COW had been purchased, Johnson was
dis.nclned to submit to an examination,
saying that the COW belonged to him and
also asserting his prerogatives to use the
street as a thoroughfare
With a few more words, johnson laid
down the rope and showed signs of re-
slstance. Later he fiourished a gun, it is
said, and at this Policeman Godbold dealt
him a blow in the forehead using pis-
to. as a weapon. Johnson was locked up,
charged with resisting an officer, and
carrying a pistol
He later swore out warrant before
Justice Nathans, charging Policeman God
bold with firing a shot at his with intent
to kill. The triai was set for Friday and
the officer gave bond. 1t seems generally
agreed that no shots were fired, however.
Johnson was bound over to the city court
bv the recorder.

THE STORM LINGERS.
At Last Reports Was Still in the
Confines of the Gulf.

The storm, which was reported as how
ering around the east coast of Florida,
has not yet sufficiently shown itself to
warrant any prediction locally. The in
formation signal was flying above the
weather bureau until 1 o'clock, at which
time 1t was hauled down on account Of
the expiration of twenty-four hours with
out any additional information from
Washington.
The signal was again hoisted about
o'clock, pursuant to the following direc-
ton: Noon reports show storm contin-
uses in East Gulf. While high winds are
not reported from Gulf stations, conditions
continue threatening, and vessels are like
ly to encounter high winds and heavy
seas if they leave port"
Prevailing winds yesterday had the ef-
feet of greatly mOderating the temperature
and bringing the highest point down to
"A degrees. Continued winds are reported
for to-day.

a very vigorous protest yesterday, against
the treatment to which her trunk had been
subjected in Atlanta. 1t had been punched
full of holes and ruined, she said, in order
to have its contents fumigated. 1t was ex-
planned to her that the railroad was pow
erlexs to do anything about the matter as
the authorities had assumed the right as
