CONFERENCE DELEGATES CHOSEN
Their Election the Event of the Com
ference Session.

The election of delegates to the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, SOUTH which convenes next May in
Baltimore. consumed nearly two hours of
the morning session. This was the first
election of delegates that has been held
by the conference in four years, that
length of time intervening between the
meetings of the general conference. There
was a great deal Of interest manifested in
the election from the first This was shown
by the number that kept tally sheets on
their private account while the votes were
being counted.
Election upon the representation of the
conference is regarded as one of the
greatest honors that can be conferred. 1t
is coveted by the preachers and lay dele
gates as well. All expenses Of those repre-
senting the conference are paid from its
funds Five clerical and five lay delegates
are elected.
The election began al few minutes past
10 o'clock, the hour that had been agreed
upon for it to be held. The bishop an
nounced that the ministerial delegates to
the conference would take their places
upon the left, and the lay delegates upon
the right side of the church. He told them
TO move lively so as not to prolong the
agony.
Bishop Key appointed Messrs. John II.
McGehee Of Talbotton and J. NJ. Rogers
of Savannah tellers for the election of
the lay delegates. Revs. J. f. Wray, e.
i. Cook, r. NJ. Whiting and II. p. Myers

LOGAN'S BURGLAR,
Unlike His Customers the Thief Was
Not Looking for Something to Eat.

Unlike His Customers the Thief Was
Not Looking for Something to Eat
The burglar who entered H. Logan's res
idence Friday night was, evidently, not
looking for a tender steak, but wanted to
stake himself with winter clothes. If he
had been hungry, he could have helped
himself to some samples of Logan's tur-
key and choice cuts of beef from the home
refrigerator, but he preferred swiping an
overcoat and a pocketbook containing
Mrs. Logan's shopping money.
Speaking of the incident yesterday Mr.
Logan said that he was not worried about
the burglar. He had no time to think
about little thing like that just now.
He was busy making preparations for his
customers for Christmas and New Year 8
dinners. Already he is making out large
orders to be sent to the east, north and
west, and will get it to his various dealers
in time to have them select the choicest
game, venison, turkeys, poultry and other
delicacies for shipment.
He requests that his many customers
send in their orders early, a week or two,
if convenient, and he will promise to make
special selections of anything they may
want for Christmas and New Years. In
this way they will get their special orders
filled satisfactorily.-ad

promise of an unusually large attendance.
The service as is well known, is in honor
of members of the order who have died

gramme was published in yesterdays

NO CONFLICT IN COU&TS.
Chatham County Justices Not Effect
ed by the Mann Bill.

The bill recently introduced in the leg
islature by Senator Mann, requiring that
justices of the peace and notaries public
hold a convention for the purpose of fix
ing court days which will not conflict
with other justices and also to provide
records of their proceedings, will not af-
feet the justices in Savannah to any eX-
tent. They all have different court days
with but one or two exceptions, and every
justice Keeps a record of the official pro-
ceedings.
1t is thought the purpose of the bill is
to cure some local defect. The city JUS
tees can well imagine the inconvenience
to which the people could be put in case
all justices had the same court day, or
IN a case where justices were at logger
heads and wanted TO 1ab at each other
by bringing on unnecessary conflicts. In
the event two cases were set for trial be-
fore different justices and at the same
hour it might bring considerable loss to
the litigant, whose case would be dismiss
ed for want of prosecution or defense at
the place he failed to attend
There are no conflicts amon@ the local
justices, however Justice Wickham' s
court day is the first Tuesday in each
month; Justice Be6ans Is the second Tues
day, Justice Nathans the third, Justice
Russell the third, and Justice Michael
Naughtin, the second Wednesday. Justices
Nathans and Russell run together, but
they say no inconvenience ever occurs.
The justices think the bill would be good
provision, however, against any possible
inconvenience that might come to the pub
lie in case they were not at good will.

TO BE ALLOWED THREE YEARS.
Basis of the Property Owners and
House Drainage Compromise

Basis of the Property Owners and
House Drainage Compromise.
The compromise which is now being con-
sidered by the drainage committee of coun-
Gil and the committee of the property
owners who have made objections to the
proposed system of house drainage is like
ly to reach a successful conclusion early
this week.
The proposition made to the committee
by the property owners was that they
should be allowed three years in which
to make house connectioi
which have no connections, and that they
should only be required to pay 10 cents per
running foot for the sewer connection.
Ihey also asked that where houses now
nave sewer connections the city should
pay the cost of making the new connec-
uon. THESE propositions related only to
houses having a less value than 500.
The committee rejected this proposition,
but made counter proposition to al
low the owners of small houses two years
time in which to make connections and
IXlng the cost of the connection at 10
cents per running foot. 1t is this propo-
sltton which is now under consideration
by the property owners and several have
expressed themselves favorably towards
IT. Their committee will probably report
TO the drainage committee Tuesday.
One of the leaders of the opposition, in
speaking of the matter, said that it was
not so much on account of the cost of the
connections that the property owners de-
sired time as on account of the expense Of
proVjding the necessary fixtures within the
houses. This win be quite an item to the
owners of numbers of small houses. In
many instances, it is claimed that it will
be necessary to tear out the old fixtures
with fyt rUbi oh

sewerage system.
