tiers After She Had Received one
He Admits Sending to Her.
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. AIN the Grace
Darrell case to-day, which stil occupies
the attention Of the United States court
and bids fair TO consume several days
more. the features of to-day's session
were the testimony Of Joseph Jones, a
Handwriting expert, for the defense, and
the admission for the defense Of mystic
rlous letter addressed 10 Hlery smith,
one Of the defendants
Mr.. Jones gave it as his opinion hat The
alleged obscene letters 10 the young lady
were gross forgeries. adding that the per-
son who wrote them ia his opinion was
the same who had directed an authentica-
ted letter Of Grace DarrelPs. This partic-
uar letter Grace Darrell has testified here
tofore she had written. and that Curry
Armstrong. the 16-year-old son of her
guardian, had directed il.
On Feb. Hilery Smith wrote one let
ter to the young lady in answer to one OF
hers. 1t was authenticated and acknowl-
edged earlier in the trial by him. Prior to
that time all of the obscene letters alleged
10 have been written by Hilery Smith had
mis- name spelled with two rs, wnicn is
wrong To-day Hiery testified that he
signed his name II. \. Smith. and never
Hilery.
The letters alleged to have been written
after Grace Darrell came into possession
of Hilery's letter of Feb 8. were signed
IL A Smith. Prior TO that time. the wit
ness said, there was no resemblance be-
tween the handwriting in the letters to
that of Hilery Smith, but after that date
the address of the envelope and signature
bore striking semblance to the address
and signature of the authenticated letter
of the defendant. He said he had dis
covered three addresses traced in ink over
pencil. that in six letters the words Grace
Darrell occupied exactly the same length
of space, and that in three addresses the
small letters of the words of her name
were almost exactly like those letters in
Smiths acknowledged letter to the young
lady.
The mysterious letter alluded TO was
signed X, Xxx, XXX and xxx, and was
directed to Hilery Smith. 1t stated that
lis author was the person who had writ
ten all the letters that his motive was
malice toward Smith. and also toward the
girl, who had repulsed him upon one oc-
casion when he had attempted to take
liberties, which he described, and that if
he would show the letter to Grace she
would recall who he was and become sat
isfied that Hilery was innocent. The let
ter added that he wrote the letter to clear
Hilery's skirts and save him from an ar
rest and trial that were impending.

AUGUSTUS SALARY LIST.
'Thc Increase Made by Council Not
Authorised.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 2.-An is not serene
to-day with the three city officers who
were lucky enough to have their salaries
increased $500 each. The action by coun-
Gil last night was the adoption of a report
from the appropriation committee recon-
mending these increased salaries. To-day
Cisy Attorney Carroll has filed a written
opinion with the mayor in which he says
council has no power to change salaries
in that way. He says. Il am constrained
10 hold that the salaries of said officers,
having been already fixed by ordinance of
Jan. 1. 1897, and Dec. 81, 1894, cannot be
changed by an ordinance, and not by mo-
ton, resolution or report of committee.
II council adheres to its present expressed
intention of increasing the salaries Of said
officers, 1t can be done by an ordinance
amending said ordinances of Jan. 4, 1897,
and Dec 81. 1894.
This means that a formal ordinance will
have TO be read at three separate meet
ings of council and adopted before the in
crease can go into effect. The action of
council in increasing the salaries has been
roundly criticised, both in the newspa-
pers and on the streets to-day, and il is
possible that the ordinance increasing sal
aries. If introduced in the next council
meeting, will find serious opposition.

REMINGTON, BARNES, EAGLE AND
IDE BICYCLES.

We are fully aware that we have the
best four cycle agencies in the city.
TAKE THE BARNES White Flyer; it's
the leading wheel among professional cy-
clists. Its reputation as a fast wheel is
wholly unquestioned. Champion Eddie
Bald and other racing men achieved more
glory and victories on the famous Barnes
White Flyer last season than did all the
other racing men on other mounts COM
bined.
The Barnes is eminently the fastest
track or road wheel in existence and the
fast riders of Savannah are awakening to
this fact. 80
THE REMINGTON is one of the stand
ard bicycles in America, and it requires
no talk to convince, as everybody knows
the reputation of Remington products. Its
the choice and favorite of all conservative
and far-seeing people, who want only the
best and do not go in for speed and scorch-
ing; but all this can also be done on the
Remington. The Remington sells like the
wheel that it is.
THE EAGLES at 5000, $500 and $4,000
are wonderful sellers. The $1,000 1897
Eagle is the best machine on the market
at this figure. We have perfect cinch
on the 5000 bicycles in Savannah, and in
the Eagle, for every one knows this ma
chine locally and they who are posted
know that it is the 1896 model, with great
improvements and is reduced from $3.50
THE HIGH ART IDE we have lately
added because we have found that it is
the prettiest and most artistically made
bicycle to be found. 1t has patented
elptical cranks and also a large number
of distinct features. For grandeur of fin
