Of the saber exercises.

tive members to take part in the contests.
To the winner in the first class will fall
the medal, while the second best man

weapon, and to the best drilled a trophy
will be awarded.
The prospective recruits will not be
sighted, for the Young Hussars have

THE RISING RIVERS.
Savannah Has Escaped the Floods
That Have Spread the Country.

Savannah Has Escaped the Floods
That Have Spread the Country.
The greatest excitement has existed in
the west during the past week on account
of the overflow Of the Mississippi river,
and even down in Georgia the freshets in
the rivers and creeks have caused consid-
cradle damage and stopped travel. Savan-
nah has been fortunate so far The river
has been swollen somewhat, and some of
Augusta water has found itself to the sea
and forced the rising tides backward, but
no damage has been done in this section.
Some anxiety has been felt regarding the
regular shipments Of western products to
Logan, the butcher, but they have come
along in great shape, and his market is
filled with some of the finest spring styles
of beef mutton, pork and poultry. It's a
safe thing to order your vegetables from
Logan. Then you are sure you get them
fresh.-ad

MIR. DAvANTs STATEMENT.
The Warrant Against Him the re-
suit of n Disagreement.


The injunction obtained by Mr.. John L.
Archer. partner in the firm Of Davant &
Archer. against Mr.. r. J. Davant, Jr.,
was dissolved yesterday. Mr.. Davant
gave Mr.. Archer a bond for 5000 to pro-
tect him, and the receivership was dis
missed. Mr.. Archer gets the agency of
the Springfield Fire and Marine and the
Northern Assurance Company, all the ac-
counts due them and Mr.. Davant retains
the agency of the Continental.
Mr.. Davant's friends were very much
surprised at the action taken by Mr.. Ed
gar S. Wilson, secretary Of the Macon
Fire Insurance Company, which has gone
out of business. Mr.. Davant made this
statement of the case
''W hen Mr.. Wilson made demand for
the balance due in the Macon Fire Insur-
ance Company ] told him that l stood
ready to settle so soon as we could come
to some understanding about the renewal
of the business Of the company which he
represented. He declined TO discuss this
part of the case and threatened criminal
prosecution in the hope of forcing a set
Element and compelling me to relinquish
my claim and contention for my interests.
I have acted throughout this matter I'M
der advice of my lawyers and l know as
do such of my friends who have all along
been advised of every step this matter
has taken, that Mr. Wilson, acting for
his company, was not actuated by motives
OF public spirit, looking TO the vindication
of the law. but rather to the collection of
a debt which 1 have never refused to pay,
but, on the contrary, stand ready and
willing to pay as soon as Mr.. Wilson, act
ing for the company, accedes to the de-
mand."
Mr. Davant Is a popular young bust
mess man and those who know him have
full confidence in his integrity and in his
ability to prove his innocence of any

THE JURY SIX TO SIX.
A Second MistrinI Declared I'm the
Patrick COnnOrs Case.

The jury in the case Of Patrick Connors,
who was tried for the murder OF Thomas
Monroe Christmas day two years ago, was
called down by Judge Falligant yesterday
afternoon shortly after O. clock, and upon
interrogating the foreman it was learned
that there was no chance for the jury to
arrive at a verdict. Juror was with
drawn and a mistrial declared.
The jury. 1t Is understood, was six for
manslaughter and six for acquittal. II is
a matter of talk among lawyers sometimes
that two mistrials is equal TO an acqulttal,
but 1t is said It is not so in the case. II Is
understood the solicitor general will bring
the case up for trial, promptly al the next
term OF court and win continue II until it
is finally settled. This Is the second mis-
trial that has occurred In this case, and
the former jury, It is said, stood about the
same as this one did.

SUPPOSED MAD DOG KILLED.
FeIIed with a Blow by a PoIiceman's
Club.

FeIIed with a Blow by n Policeman's
Club.
A supposed mad dog was killed yesterday
at Montgomery and Charlton streets by
Acting Police Sergeant G. B. Floyd. The
dog belonged to Mrs. Davis and had been
acting strangely for the last two days.
He acted so strangely yesterday that Mr.
T. F. Freeman. who boards at the house,
started after a veterinary surgeon for the
purpose of getting his opinion whether or
not the dog was mad. He returned, how
ever, with Sergeant Floyd, who he called
upon to xiii the dog.
The dog was crouched under the stoop,
snarling and yelping and foaming at the
mouth. He was run out from under the
stoop and Sergeant Floyd killed
him by knocking him in the
head with his club. The dog
first attracted attention Friday, run
ming around the yard, barking and yelping
and seeming to be very much frightened
at something. Mr.. Freeman endeavored to
quiet the dog. which was a pet, and re-
ceived a slight scratch on the hand He
thought nothing of it until yesterday, when
the dogs symptoms became more pro-
nounced. Now he is somewhat more con-
cerned about it, though there is no way of
telling whether the dog was suffering from
rabies or from some other disease peculiar
to the canine race.
Sergeant Floyd who killed the dog, said
that the animal appeared to be In great
fear of something. This is a bad sign, be-
ing one of the recognized symptoms of
rabies. Several other persons have been
bitten by dogs recently, though the dogs
which bit them were not believed to have
been mad.

The truck farmers around Savannah re-
ported yesterday that slight frost formed
night before last, but they did not believe
the fruit or garden products had been in

to relieve them from fears OF disaster, but
the thermometer insists on taking down

gerousIy near the point that means death
to the budding beauties Of the truckers

With the chilly weather. however. blus-
tering March has shown its close relation
ship with the traditional winds. and these
have been brisk enough to prevent the
formation Of frost, and thus save the
young vegetables and fruit buds.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
tions of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by
