FIGHT OF THE GRoCERs.
Union GrOcers Deny Having At
tempted n Boycott ON DraytOn Co.

Union GrOcers Deny Having At
tempted n Boycott on DraytOn Co.
The Grocers' Union Is having troubles
of its own. The recent break in its ranks
by the withdrawal Of the Drayton Grocery
Company and a cut in prices by the lat
ter, has caused stir in the union
Whle'the union itself, or the Retail Gro
GERS Association, as it is known, is not
charged with attempting to boycott the
Drayton Company, Manager Van Horne
says he has proof that members of the
union are attempting it by refusing to buy
goods from brokers who sell to the Dray-
ton company.
Mr. A NJ. West of A. NJ. & c. w. West,
speaking for his brother as president of
the union, said last night that the union
has not attempted to boycott Mr.. Van
Horne's company, and will not do So Such
policy will not be adopt
ed under any circumstances, he
said. Mr.. John t. Evans, secretary Of
the union made practically the same state
ment.
1t is pretty generally understood that an
effort was made at the last meeting of the
union to institute boycott, but the senti-
ment was so strongly against it that 1t
was not pressed. 1t is not denied, however,
that members of the union as individual
firms have refused TO buy goods from
brokers who sell to the Drayton Company.
There is a strong feeling among the gro
GERS and it is believed theretwill be lively
war in prices. Manager Van Horne says
he proposes to advertise his prices, which
is the casus belli with the union grocers,
and they can do what they
like about it. Mr. Van Horne
is a believer In letting the people know
what he has to sell and what its price is.
1t Is his own business, he says, what price
he sells his goods for and he does not
propose to be regulated by the union.
Since the union was organized it has been
able to maintain a schedule of prices
among it's members and to avoid advertis-
ing. The claim is made that prices have
been higher thereby. Mr.. Van Hornes
withdrawal from the association has
broken into the schedule and it is now a
fight between them.

CORDELIA OFF FOR BERMUDAs.
The Dig Ship Went Down the River
on Half Tide.

ON Hal1 I1ue.
The British warship Cordelia sailed veg
terday for the Bermudas, after having
spent six days very pleasantly in savan-
nah. Although there was a crowd at the
wharf to witness the departure II was not
nearly as large as it would have been had
the weather been less unfavorable.
The Cordelia went down the river on half
tide, swinging into the stream just as the
city exchange clock struck 2. 1t was not
high tide until between $50 and 6 o'clock.
Soundings were taken as The vessel went
down the river. and the man with the line
was heard to sing out as the vessel swung
into the channel, "twenty-three feet"
'twenty-four feet" "twenty-six feet"
showing that there was plenty of water
for vessels larger than the Cordelia, even
at half tide.
AS a matter of fact it is an ordinary
thing for vessels drawing more water than
the Cordelia to come and go from Savan-
nah. Two vessels have gone out during
the last week drawing 231s feet, whereas
the Cordelia draws only 81
Possibly the Cordelia will visit Savan-
nah again If The mutual feelings of the
people and the bluejackets be consulted
her visits will be frequent. Queen Vics
lads certainly enjoyed themselves while
here and made friends on all sides. If
Capt Bourke Furnishes all his men who
dispensed hat bands with the popular
word "Cordelia" on them, a large percent
age of the crew will be on the ships
docket this morning. Some of the sailors
appeared TO have an extra supply of these
little strips, however, doubtless for use
in Just such cases.
With the stirring events which appear to
be about to take place in this section of
the world, there is reason to expect that
bluejackets and bluecoats, too, will become
common sight in Savannah and doubt
less some of Uncle Sans warships will
come up the river soon.

NOTHING HEARD OF WILSON.
Chief McDermOtt Has Written to In
tercept the Bigamist.


DR.. ]. L. Miller of Fitzgerald, accom-
panied by his daughter, who was so cum
ningly duped by Hunter Sharp, alias w.
Clarence Wilson, of Charleston, some time
ago, returned home yesterday, after ar
ranging with the police here to use every
effort to capture Wilson, who created a
sensation by jumping from a Plant Sys-
tenn train near Ridgeland Thursday night,
while being brought to Georgia. Nothing
has been heard from Wilson since his es-
cape.
Chief McDer1nott has written to several
points where he believes Wilson might go.
There Is thought to be no question, how
ever, about Wilson's having liberated him
self from the steel bracelets he wore while
a prisoner with Dr. Miller. Had he no:
been accompanied by his daughter, DR..
Miller said he would have pursued his
prisoner. AS il is now, the only chance
TO capture him is through the letters
which have been sent out to various
points. There is some probability, how
ever, of Wilson'S returning to Charleston,
where he has a wife and two children.
He had been employed some time in a
hotel there, and seems to be an amateur
pugulist, having given exhibition matches
with many of the lightweights.
When arraigned before a justice and
confronted by DIR. Miller and his daugh-
ter in Charleston, Wilson looked toward
the young woman and said: II love that
woman and have gone hungry for her 1
have wronged her, and have shown my
love in a poor way. She has suffered,
and l am willing TO serve ten years in the
.penitentiary for the injury have done

SEASONS SEWER WORK ENDED.
Little Done, However, Towards Put
ting the streets in Order.

The house drainage contractors are at
work cleaning up the debris left by them
in their work on the streets. Very little
has been done as yet. however. towards
putting the streets In order, though the
contractors were notified TO this effect
some time ago by the engineers in charge
of the work.
Considering the large amount of work
to be done to complete the system and the
amount of discussion which the work has
caused comparatively little has been done.
The engineers figures show that the value
of the work to date is about $4,000 About
seven miles of pipe and sewer have been
laid, of which three-quarters of a mile is
brick sewer As the system contemplates
a total of sixty-nine miles of pipe and
sewer work il VIII be seen how much re-
mains To- be done,
The work so far has been profitable
neither to contractors nor engineers. On
the basis of per cent. on the value of
the work done, the supervising engineer
ing force has not made expenses. Engi-
neer Chapman and a force of seven or
eight assistants and inspectors have been
here since December and il is easy to see
mat the expense of supervising has been
S+Ne'NNA tAAdi LiAS compensation allowed.
On behalf of the contractors IL can be
SAID that the work up to the date has
been of the heaviest. and that it has only
now about reached the point where It can
ne taken in hand and pushed rapidly
Even were the city paying cash for the
work, the contractors are evidently IN for
more than they would receive for their
work to date, as they have gone to heavy
expenditure for supplies, apparatus and
n aal -.
the work.
Judge Falligant has been so occupied
with the criminal work of the Superior
Court that he has had no time to con-
slider the injunction suit brought against
the city at the instance of the house drain
age contractors. AS there is no necessity
for any haste, it may be some time before
any decision is rendered. The contractors
express confidence that some understand
ing will be reached with the city by which
they will be enabled to resume work this

MEMORIALS TALKED OF.
Colonial DANES to Perpetuate Colo
NAL Memories.

NAL Memories.
Two of the most important matters
which the Georgia Society of Colonial
Danes had up for discussion on the oeca-
sion of their annual meeting were those
with regard to the memorial tablet to
Tomochichi and the monument to Gen.
Oglethorpe
The fund for the Oglethorpe monument
has been started, and is making excellent
progress. This is one of the most important
works the society has undertaken, and it
is one to which much attention Is being
devoted. When the ladies get ready to
place this monument they are going to put
up. shaft that will be appropriate and
lasting.
The Venable Construction Company of
Atlanta has offered the society a stone
shaft upon which to place the bronze
memorial tablet to Tomochichi, and the Of
fer has been accepted with thanks The
City Council has agreed to the placing of
the tablet in the Court House square, and
this VIII be done within short time. The
society has other memorials of persons and
things colonial in view, and plans in this
connection are being discussed
There was quite large attendance of
ladies and gentlemen at the Colonial tea
given at the Low residence at Abercorn
and Charlton streets in the afternoon from
8 10 clock. The house was most beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion, and
most enjoyable session was INDUCED in.

CLAIM 1T WAS a MISTAKE.
Reason Given by Insurance Agents
for Not Applying the Increase.


The insurance men representing South
eastern Tariff Association companies deny
that they are not applying the increase of
10 per cent, which was recently declared
by the association on account Of the al
legged inadequate fire fighting facilities in
Savannah
Many property owners believe the rate
is not to be applied except in cases where
the companies were sure Of getting the in
surance, for the reason that numbers of
expiration notices have been served offer
ing The old rate.
AN agent, who declined to be quoted in
connection with what appears to be a dis
elimination in applying rates, said the old
rates which had been offered were offered
by mistake. Some of the companies sent
out expiration notices, he said, bearing the
old rates on their face and simply neglect
ed to apply the increase. Attention, he
thought, would be given this in the future
and the increase would be generally APP
piled.
This will probably cause an extensive
change in placing insurance. When a
property holder receives a notice on which
appears in red ink a statement of the in
crease, the course taken thus far by them
has been 10 consult other companies. Lo-
cal, as well as distant, companies are after
the business, and by adhering to the rates
which the tariff association companies
formerly charged, they naturally have an
advantage. In these cases it will be seen
the association companies are placed in
position where they have TO reduce 10 COM
petitors or lose the business. Real estate
agents, who manage a large proportion Of
the insurable property of Savannah, and
who, of course, find it to their interest to
get the best possible rates in order to In
crease returns to their principals, have
caught on to the "feelers'' which insur-
ance agents send out, and are now ex-
pecting them. If an expiration notice
come to some of them announcing an an
crease in the rate, it is pretty sure to go
unnouced, at least until other companies
have been consulted. r
Agents who decline to have their names
used, state they have proofs where the in
surance men are not applying the increase
on expiring policies. 1t is claimed that
they can see no reason why the city
should go to expense i'm improving the fire
fighting service TO avoid the payment of
something which the insurance companies
are not really demanding.

JOHNSON CHARGED WITH MURDER
VIII Answer for the killing of Green
Davis When Captured.

Davis When Captured.
Coroner Goette held an inquest yester-
day to inquire into the cause of the death
of Green Davis, colored, who died at the
Georgia Inflrmary Wednesday from the
effects of wound received last Saturday
night.
The verdict of the jury was that Davis
came to his death by a blow from an
ak in the hands of Ike Johnson, colored,
and that they considered the crime muir
der.
Three companions of Davis and Johnson
were before the jury. They were all Sec
ton hands of the Florida Central and
Peninsular Railroad, the men said, en-
ployed on the section just outside the city
The crowd was gambling in one of the
shanties owned by the road
When Davis claimed that another negro,
known as DOC" had taken cents which
belonged TO him. Doc" refused to give
him the money, and Davis
ran outside and seized an AK Ike
Johnson took the ak away from Davis,
The quarrel continued, and Davis seized
Doc" by the throat and threatened him
with knife. Johnson still had the AK
and some one in the crowd inquired if he
were going to let Davis kill Doc Without
more ado johnson swung the AK, striking
Davis in the head. The man fell like a
log. Johnson stood looking at him, and
asked the others if they thought he had
killed Davis. They replied that he had
and that he had better take to the woods
Johnson accepted this advice, and the
witnesses declared that this was the last
they had seen of him. Davis was left
lying on the ground in his blood for sew
eral hours, until Coroner Goette, who had
been notified of the affair, found him and
had him sent to the Georgia In1rmary,
where he died.

Lieut.. V. o. Chase and those with him
constituting the recruiting party for the
navy. have secured six more enlistments
here, and expect TO secure a number of
others between now and Tuesday, at
which time they will probably be ordered
away.
Lieut.. Chase received instructions yes
terday to waive the time limit in making
enlistments, and to accept enlistments for
periods of one TO three years. The time
prescribed is three years, but they viii
now be accepted FOR one year. He was
also instructed TO be somewhat less strict
with regard to physical disabilities than
heretofore. Two men were enlisted yes
terday who did not quite come up to the
strict requirements of the regulations,
though for all practical purposes they are
good men for the navy. The total num-
Der enlisted up 10 yesterday was sixteen,
the following having gone in, besides those
mentioned already in the Morning News:
Adam II. Howard, fireman, second class.
James Watson, seaman.
Walter Lloyd, seaman.
Raphael Charles O'Byrne, landsman.

He Must Die on the GaIIOws.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday after
noon Abe Small was brought from the
county jail to the Superior Court room, and
there sentenced by Judge Faligant to suf-
fer the death penalty on the gallows on
Friday, May Is, between the legal hours
for the murder of Policeman Jansen Neve

giant called attention to the fact that it
was the third time he had been declared
guilty of the crime without a recommen-
dalton 10 the mercy of the court. When
asked IL he had anything to say as to why
sentence should not be passed Small
shook his head, giving a negative sign, and
the sentence was then read TO him Small
did not appear much affected by the pro-
ceeding. He is not hysterical or emotional
and manifests little concern, apparently
over serious matters.
There IS no doubt that the case will be
carried to the Supreme Court. A motion for
new trial Will be first argued, and if Judge
Falligant refuses 1t, the Supreme Court
will be appealed to for The third time Mr..
T. +. Ravenel, who, with Mr.. Geo A. Mer-

SAY TIE ROAD WAS BAD.
Alderman r. j. Davis and Others
Suing the Vernon Shell Road Co.


Suing the Vernon Shell Road Co.
The trial of the suit of T. ]. Davis and
others, turnpike commissioners, against
the Vernon Shell Road Company, for
damages in behalf of the people of the
county. on account Of the alleged bad con
dition of that road some months ago was
begun In the Superior Court yesterday.
This case came up before Judge e ~
Galloway on demurrer, at the time he was
here in Judge Falligants place for week
Judge Galloway sustained the demurrer
but the Supreme Court reversed his decis.
ion, and the case came back for trial
The amount of damages claimed is not
stated and when counsel was asked about
it. the reply was that it would depend up
on what showing was made 70 the Jury
There have been summoned seventeen
or eighteen witnesses, many of whom live
along the line of the road, or who use il
considerably. Should any damages be
found against the company, the amount
would go into the educational fund Of tho
county.
