able to Mrs. M. w. Driscoll, but had
never seen 1t before.
In order to understand what that note
represented it is necessary to go back
for a time. Some little time ago Mrs
Knox and Mrs. Plat were arrested and
brought 10 trial on the charge of arson,
in having set fire to a house at Pico
Heights. On motion the charge against
Mrs. Knox was dismissed, and after
the trial some technicality sufficed to
end the prosecution Of Mrs. Pratt. But
there were expenses incident to the mat
ter. and Mrs. Driscoll stood the friend of
Mrs. Knox. This loan was what caused
Mrs. Knox to give her note to Mrs.
Driscoll, although she maintains that it
was for only $100. the one she made and
signed.
Yesterday H. A. Pierce testified tha t
the note in question was made in his Of
flee, Mrs. Knox, Mrs. Platt and Mrs.
Driscoll being present. Mrs. Driscoll
handed $100 20 Mrs. Knox and the latter
turned it over to the attorney as his fee.
He MADE some remark to the effect that
it was good to have such a friend as Mrs.
Drlscoll, upon which Mrs. Knox re-
marked that that was true, and that to
her Mrs Driscoll had been "a most
blessed friend" She proceeded to in
form her attorney that the s100 was not
all; that she had received $3.50 before.
Mr.. Pierce advised that just as a busi-
ness proposition a note should be given
to secure Mrs. Driscoll, and he thereupon
drew the note, and Mrs. Knox signed it.
Mrs. Plat testified similarly, and the old
friendship for her companion in trouble
has apparently evaporated. She testi-
fed that she had loaned Mr. Knox $500

HEAVY OCEAN TRAFFIC.
Unusually Large Movement of Bust
ness Across the o. s. S. Wharves.

Unusually Large Movement of Bust
ness Across the o. s. s. Wharves.
The rush of traffic across the Central
railroad and Ocean Steamship wharves
this year appears to be almost unprece-
dented. The business now being done
there is something enormous, compared to
what it has been in some other years,
and particularly is this true of the north
bound traffic of the Ocean Steamship
Company.
There has been a natural increase in
the northbound traffic of the Ocean Steam
ship Company, particularly in the items
of cotton and naval stores, large quanti-
ties Of which are being taken to New
York for shipment to Europe by the trans
Atlantic liners. The company has splen-
did arrangements with it's foreign con-
nections in New York now, which enables
it to handle much more of this business,
and that is one reason for the heavy in
crease in the traffic at this time 1t is a
fact that the northbound traffic is much
heavier now than it was at this time last
year, and the indications are that it will
continue so throughout the season.
The increase in the southbound traffic
of the company is not SO noticeable, it is
said, or was not up to short while ago.
bound traffic has been about normal, but
it has recently taken on a little squirt on
account of business for the west, which
formerly went through New Orleans, and
which is now shut out by routes which
include that city.
The Morning News has already called
attention to the heavy cotton traffic on
these wharves. Tens of thousands of
bales of cotton are piled up there and
more is being brought in every day. About
ten of the twenty-five tramp steamers
now in port are loading cotton at the Cen
trail wharves, and as the steamers go out,
others come in almost every day. The
Georgia Export and Import Company IS
now loading six steamers there, and is eX-
pecting others during the month. One of
this company's steamers has already sail
ed, and two others will go Tuesday.
While there is plenty OF cotton here to
furnish cargOes for the steamers in port,
the movement of it does not appear to
be as lively as it might be. 1t is said
that buyers on the other side are not
taking it as fast as they might, otherwise
the ships now here might have been filed
more rapidly than has been the case.
However, all the steamers now here, or
nearly ell of them will sail on time and
with full cargoes. Some of them are TAX
ing on q partial cargo of phosphate rock,
which they put in the bottom of the hull,
and then take cotton on top of that.
There still seems to be every indication
that Savannah will get her million bales
of cotton this year. The present move
ment gives promise of it, especially since
much of the business that formerly went
to New Orleans and Mobile is now coming
here on account of the yellow fever.

The body of Deputy Sheriff Simon Hes

1t is thought the body will reach here
this morning at o'clock. The funeral
will be held this afternoon at o'clock
from the deceased's late residence. The
interment will be in Laurel Grove.
The Baltimore papers printed variety
of theories the morning after Hesser was
Killed as to Franck's identity. The Am
ercan had it that Hesser had brought
deserving soldier from the German army
from Savannah for the purpose of send
ing him back to the Fatherland. The Sun
concluded that the dead man was a detec-
tive in the service of the German govern
ment, who recently arrived in this coun-
try, and went to Savannah to get a pris-
oner The fact that he had two passage
tickets for Europe on his person led
the police to believe that he left Savan-
nah with the prisoner In his custody.

SERVICES AT ST. aoHN'S.
The Congregation Welcomes the Re
turn of It's Rector.

Rev. Charles II. Strong, the rector, Off
ciated at St Johns yesterday for
the first time in several months, having
just returned from his summer vacation.
At the morning service Rev. Robb
White, rector of Christ church, assisted
MIR. Strong. Mr.. White preached the ser
mon, which was an excellent discourse
from the text John 1912: This is my
commandment that We love one another"
His sermon was prefaced by an address
that was delivered to the rector and con-
gregation of st. Johns. Mr.. White, in
eloquent and deeply felt terms, expressed
the warm appreciation of the congregation
of Christ church and of himself for the
courteous and Christian treatment they
had received from the congregation of st.
Johns in the extremity that followed the
burning of Christ church He said that
his congregation would ever feel grateful
for the manifold kindness that had been
shown by the people of ST. Johns, and he
trusted tlht the intercourse the two con-
gregatlons had enjoyed during the last few
months would be of great benefit in the
increase of the love and affectionA that
already binds them together.
Mr. White spoke feelingly of the pleas
ure he had experienced in filling the place
Of the rector of ST. johns Tor the short
time he was able to do so before taking
his own vacation. He said that since the
rector has returned the congregation Of
Christ church would retire from st. John $
and would renew it's worship at the lee
ture room of the Independent Presbyter-
ian church until the completion of the
work Of rebuilding that is now in progress
on Christ church
At the evening service Mr.. Strong Of
ficiated, and was assisted by Mr.. White.
Mr. Strong preached an able sermon, and
one that was greatly enjoyed by his con-
gregation from the text found in And the
Greatest of These Is Love" He spoke of
the greatness of human love, which is eX-
emplified in that which stirs the heart of
the mother. and contrasted it with that of
the divine love.

SALVATION MOST IMPORTANT.
How May the Soul Be Saved" Dis
cussed by DIR. Fair.


The important question of How May
the Soul Be Saved?' was ably and elo-
quently discussed by Rev. Dr. Fair at
the Independent Presbyterian church last
night
The text was: What Must Do to Be
Saved?" Acts 1890
DIR. Fair took as his initial position that
the human race is totally lost through
transgression of the laws of God, and can
only hope for salvation through his grace.
He then proceeded to discuss the means
by which salvation may be attained.
The possibility of man being saved by
his own merit was considered, and dis
missed as altogether out of the question
The possibility of God relaxing the rigor
of his law in order to enable men to OBJ
tain salvation was considered at some
length, and was dismissed as without sup
port either human or scriptural. The
laws of men are not relaxed
10 enable the guilty to escape, the
speaker said, and it Is unreasonable
TO expect that the laws of God, which
are of SO much higher character than
those OF man will be relaxed for the bene-
fit of guilty men. Those who depart this
life without having obtained forgiveness
of their sins need entertain no hope, he
said, that their repentance will be ac-
cepted hereafter.
The third proposition advanced was that
salvation might be obtained through sub
stitution of Christs righteousness. Gods
laws cannot be relaxed, he said but it
permits of the principle of substitution
The sinners sin may be imputed to Christ
and Christ's righteousness may be imput-
ed to the sinner In this way only can
the sinner be saved. The condition on
which such substitution can be obtained
is simply faith. No amount of
effort on the sinners part can obtain this
Simply faith is required.
THE sweetest, truest definition of be-
coming Christian" said DIR. Fair sis to
fall back into the arms of Christ 1t re-
quires no effort and no exertion 1t Is
simply to turn loose everything abandon
every earthly claim of merit of Gods favor
and fall back upon Christ"
The salvation of the soul Dr. Fair urged
in conclusion. is more important than any
earthly question of food or raiment or
bodily necessity.
DR.. Fair addresses himself especially at
the Sunday night services to the young
people, though his efforts in their behalf
are not limited to those occasions.

To-day Is Return Day For the Slty
Courts November Term.
The adjourned session of the superior
court will meet to-day for the transaction
of any business which may come before
it. II was expected some time ago, when
Judge Fallgant took his vacation, that the
attorneys would have some business which
they would want to bring up before the
December term, and it was for this rea-
son that Judge Falligant provided for an
adjourned session at this time So far as
is known, however, there Is not any bust
ness of particular Importance to come up.
In November beginning with the first
Monday, Judge Falligant and Solicitor
General w. w. Osborne, with number

ing first to Bryan county. The month of
November will be devoted altogether to
the business of the four counties in the
circuit outside of Chatham.

term of the city court, which will con-
vene the first Monday in November, which
is Nov. l. The city court return day al
ways brings in large number of suits
on notes and accounts as well as damage
suits of one kind and another, which have
developed in the interim.

ROBBED A DRUG STORE.
Three Boys Enter SolOmOns' and
RIfe the Cash Register.

Solomons' drug store, at Congress and
Barnard streets, was entered by three
juvenile thieves about o'clock yesterday
afternoon and something like s1S.25 was
taken from the drawer of the cash regis
ter.
1t Is the custom of the store to keep open
during the entire day Sunday, with the ex-
ception of from l to 3 O'Clock. The clerks
left at ! o'clock as usual and thought
they had taken every precaution to close
the doors and windows but as later devel-
opments demonstrated, they had inadver-
tently left one of the windows about half
raised, leaving space quite sufficient to
allow any one to squeeze through and
such as would entice the fellow who was
on the lookout for some place 10 burgla-
rize.
The three lads, neither of whom Is above
ten years of age, passed along Barnard
street and noticing the open window, pre-
sumably were possessed with the idea OF
entering the store. Without hesitation,
they entered at the opening and were soon
in possession Of $1S25 which they
had taken from the cash regis
ter They made their exit
from the store with as much cunning as
they had their entrance, and, notWith-
standing the number of persons who pass
those streets, the boys were not detected
by any one.
When one Of the proprietors of the store
returned at o'clock it was at once dis
covered that a haul had been made on
the cash register. Complaint was made
at police headquarters, and Detective
Scully set to work to obtain a clew that
would lead to the arrest of the guilty par
ties. Information was obtained from
negro boy by Detective Scully, to the ef-
feet that three boys. who were afterward
arrested, had been around the store dur
ing the afternoon. All were soon found
and arrested except one, who had taken
the spells and repaired to Thunderbolt to
enjoy himself. However he soon returned
home and upon learning that the officers
were after him, hurried to the police bar
racks to report that he had seen a "big
negro enter the store.
Mr.. Solomons went to the barracks and
stated that he did not wish to prosecute
the boys, but asked that the money be re-
turned. The lad who visited Thunderbolt
said he had left Sill with a man at that
place for safe keeping.
The money was refunded and the boys
were released last night. Their names are
withheld, because of the fact that, with
one exception, it is their first offense.

BUTLER STRIKES GOLD.
Some Fine Pieces of Quartz Found
In Chatham County.

Gold mining may soon become a fad in
Chatham county. Mr.. G. Reuben Butler,
clerk to superintendent of Public Works
w. F. Chaplin, has on his desk in the
court house, several elegant specimens of
gold quartz, which seem abundantly rich
in the yellow metal There is no doubt
that il is gold.
Mr. Butler found these specimens some
where in Chatham county, where the coun-
ty convicts have been working, but Just
where, he will not SLY. He is keeping il
quiet at present until further Investigation
can be made, and the extent of the sun
posed deposit ascertained. If there is much
more quartz like that Mr.. Butler has on
his desk, somebody ought TO be able to
make small fortune out OF it without any
difficulty.
IL VIII be remembered that only a short
while ago, DR.. Arno Knorr obtained quite
g little nugget of gold by washing the dust
from the sand taken from the Savanna h
river Just above the city. One or two more
discoveries Of this kind may turn Savanna h

WILL NEVER BE PASSED.
RAILROAD MEMS VIEWS OF
BRANCH'S STATE ROAD MEASURE.

savannah officials Do Not Regard the
Proposition to Extend the Road
Here SeriOusIy-They Consider the
Matter So Far Remote as to Be Out
of the Question.
Railroad men do not view with any sort
of seriousness the proposition of Mel R.
Branch, the populist statesman, to use
the state convicts for the purpose of ex-
tending the Western and Atlantic rail-
road, or state road. as it is commonly
known. to Savannah.
Judge J. K. Hines is said to be engaged
at present in getting into shape the meas
ure bearing on this subject. which will
be introduced in the general assembly at
its coming session. After Judge Hines has
finished with the measure Representative
Branch will introduce 1t in the House,
and will be its most ardent champion.
Upon discussing the matter with sew
eral prominent railroad men here it was
found that none of them had given the
subject a thought, so remote a possibility
do they consider the contamination of any
such plan.
"Why, it's utter nonsence," remarked
one well-known railroad man. Il saw a
statement SOhAG lilliS dSO " tiiC GlLSGb ttidl
such a measure would be presented, but
since that time have heard nothing of it,
OF course, such a bill would never be
passed at least, there Is not one chance
in a hundred for it,
1T ds not hard matter to demonstrate
the folly of such a plan,' another said.
Il have not given the matter any serious
attention, but then 1t does not require
serious attention in order to discover its
foolishness. The Central railroad could,
without any difficulty, handle three or
four times the amount of business it now
has between Atlanta and Savannah. Be-
sides that the Southern with the Plant
system furnishes another route between
the two points, and to parallel these two
lines would probably mean destruction to
all of them No, you may count upon it,
no such measure will ever be passed, and
if by any mishap it should, the extension
would never be made"
The railroad men generally are so con-
fident over this position that they are not
disturbing themselves in the slightest over
the proposed pOpulistic measure. AS mat
ter Of fact, they say, there are too many
other things to interest railroad men at the
present time besides schemes which they
consider will always remain in the air.
The rush of business, the quarantine and
other matters of equal Importance are
keeping them on the jump, while populis
tic plans they say, are not of sufficient
moment to furnish food even for idle
thought.
