TO GO INTO LIQUIDATION.
Savannah Steam Bakery Co. to Wind
Up Its Business.

The Savannah Steam Bakery Company,
at meeting Of the stockholders yesterday
morning, decided to go into liquidation.
This course has been considered as likely
to be adopted for some time as the best
means Of relief from conditions that have
been hurtful to the company's business
interests and Of securing the stockholders
In their investment.
The course was forced upon the COM
pany by the competition among New York
houses in the same business. This COM
petition has been particularly marked be-
tween the New York Biscuit Company
and the American Biscuit Company. These
rival concerns have fought each other Bit
terly for some time. AS a result of their
fight, prices have come down and their
competition has hurt minor manufacturers
all over the country, and particularly the
seaports, to which shipping facilities have
been good and the cost of trans
portation low. The eastern firms have
been able to drop to prices that the Sa-
vannah bakery cannot longer meet with
out loss. In view OF these circumstances
1t was regarded by the stockholders as
advisable to go into liquidation
The Savannah Steam Bakery Company
has conducted it's business at the corner
of Bay and Barnard streets for a num-
Der of years. Mr.. I. G. Haas is president
of the company, Maj. John Schwarz is
vice president and Mr.. r. F. Walthour is
secretary and treasurer.
Maj. Schwarz said last night that the
competition among the New York bakeries
and the resulting low prices We're more
than the company could stand, and the
liquidation agreed upon was unavoidable.
He authorizes the statement that the COM
pany is perfectly solvent, and fully able
to meet all its obligations Mr.. Haas was
out of the city yesterday and could not
be seen.

Won 1t in Savannah and Got 1t in
San Antonio.
The Morton Cadets of Washington are
at last in possession of tAe Galveston cup,
which they won at Savannah during Nay
week year ago,
Adjt. Gen. Mabry decided that the Nor
tons are the rightful holders of the cup
despite the persistent claims of the Thurs
ton Rifles of Omaha. The Thurstons lille
ultimately held the technical possession Of
the coveted cup until last week, when it
was surrendered to Cen Mabry. The tro,
ply will be literally held by the Mortons
for day or two at least. The Washing
ton company has been entitled to the cup
since the Savannah drill. At that compe-
tition the Thurstons, who had been chal-
lenged in compliance with the rules gov
erning the cup, failed to materialize, and
upon the award of the drill management
they refused to send it. The Mortons won
the drill and were officially awarded the
cup by Gen. Mabry.
The cup was turned over to the Nor
tons Saturday. The inscription, Morton
Cadets, May 10, 1896, Savannah, Ca" is to
be added to those already engraved on the
trophy.

COUPLE TWICE welded.
Mr. james Sutherland and Miss Ag-

MIR. james Sutherland and Miss Ag-
mes Robertson Join Hands Again.
The marriage of James NJ. Sutherland
of Savannah and Agnes Robertson of Les
lie, Scotland is announced, It took place
in New York. July IA. on the arrival OF
the steamer Furnessia from Scotland. The
couple are at home after to-day at No. Ill
Charlton street, west.
The wedding in New York was the Sec
ond that has united Mr. Sutherland and
Miss Robertson. In Admission, Ala, May
30, 1890, they were married. but that union
was invalid, owing TO the existence of a
wife from whom the Formally of a dl-
vorce had not released Sutherland. He
and his second wife lived IN Savannah I'M
Ill last October, when she gained knowl-
edge of his first marriage. A meeting Of
the two wives followed, the first being
Jessie Jehreys, whom he had married
June 10. 1855. in this city. The charge Of
having two wives was preferred against
Sutherland, but Il was not pushed. TIE
second marriage may run its course of
connubial happiness and avoid the IN
pleasantness that beset the matrimonial
path on the couples former setting out
upon the journey OF life.

TO OPEN THE FREE DIsPENsARY.
1t VIII be Ready 10 Fiji Prescrip-
lions Tomorrow.

The city dispensaTy will be open for
business tomorrow morning. Everything
is in readiness; the stock is all in and
everything has been put in ship shape to
answer the needs of the city's patients.
Dispensarykeeper A. n. O'Keefe and his
assistant have been busy for several days.
preparing tinctures and drug compounds
OF the kind required in making up pre-
scriptions. These have been prepared
from the roots and herbs of pure green
drugs and are consequently pure and of
the requisite strength, which is not always
the case with drugs prepared by quick
processes.
Mr. O'Keefe is being assisted for the
present by Mr. J. D. Wacasser Mr. J. l..
Miller, the assistant keeper being tempo
rarily disabled by trouble with his eyes.
A supply table, containing list Of be-
tween $50 and 400 preparations carried in
stock by the dispensary, will be mailed to
each physician in the city. No proprie-
tary medicines will be carried in stock.
The room in the rear OF the dispensary
is to be fitted up as an eye and ear in
Urinary. where Drs. J. l. Hers and r.
D. Aiken will treat charity patients free
OF charge.
The disDensary is located at the corner
of Whitaker and Macon streets, and the
room. though small, is sufficiently large
for all purposes. The city is fortunate in
securing in Mr.. O'Keefe the services of a
competent and reliable pharmacist and
one, who is capable of exercising intelli-
gent discretion in the matters which will
come under his charge. Mr.. O'Keefe will
occupy the rooms above the dispensary
with HIS family, and consequently will be
always on duty.
in equippng the dispensary one import
ant need was overlooked, a telephone. As
the dispensary is a considerable distance
from the city exchange, as well as the
downtown business section generally it
is difficult to see how a telephone is to
he dispensed with, as communication be-
tween the exchange and the dispensary
will often be necessary.

WINDING UP CRIMINAL BUSINESS.
superior Court VIII Soon BE Ready
10 Take Up the Civil Docket.

superior court VIII soon he He0dy
10 Take Up the Civil Docket.
The superior court win soon have finish
ed with the criminal docket which was
before it for the June term.
The case against Policeman j. j. Gull
foyle, charged with the murder of Levi
Rutledge, colored. was postponed yester-
day, and may not come up for a hearing
at this term. This is the last murder case
that was docketed, and the only one yet
to be tried, unless the Dyer case, which
was a mistrial last week. is put on trial
again before tho June term closes.
1t is stated now that the first reports
concerning the standing of the jury were
erroneous, in that there were four, who
favored murder, four who favored a lesser
crime, and four who favored an acquittal.
Should the Dyer case be tried again at
this term there will be even more in
terest in it than on the first trial. Solic-
itor General Osborne stated yesterday
that he is ready to have the case put up
at any time, and will favor such a step
in the near future if the other counsel in
the case, who represent the defense will
agree.
The grand jury was called to meet next
Friday, but, owing to the contemplated
absence of the solicitor general on that
day, the session will. no doubt, b. post
poned until the following week
There is a good deal of civil business at
this term 1t will probably require until
the first of September to complete the
work.
Judge Falligant granted an order allow
ing Mr.. John Dierks to change his name
from Dierks to Bernard. The reason ad-
vanced for such a course on the part of
the petitioner was because he has recently
married, and his wife's name was Ber-
nard. She had gained a reputation as a
Christian scientist, as Mrs. Bernard, and
he was unwilling for her to change her
name, and was willing to change his own
instead.
