AGAINST CO-EDUCATION.
University Club Discussed the Sub
ject at Its Quarterly Neetiup

University Club Discussed the Sub
ject at Its Quarterly Meeting.
The quarterly meeting of the University
Club was held last night at the office of
Messrs. Denmark, Adams & Freeman in
the Citizens Bank building There was a
fair attendance at the meeting, and the
members listened with much interest to a
paper read by Mr.. George w. Beckett, on
the subject Of ''Co7education at the Uni
versity."
Mr.. Beckett discussed co-education from
financial, practical, and sentimental
standpoint, and in the light of the first
two, considered that there would be no
objection to it, but he did find objection to
co-education at the University from a sem
timental standpoint, and he thought there
were many in Georgia who looked upon
the matter in that way
A vote of the members of the club upon
the subject sustained Mr.. Beekett's posi-
uon There was a motion which involved
the sentiment of the members as to CO.
education at the University, which after
considerable discussion was voted on From
the standpoint mentioned the club voted
against co-education.
A committee was appointed to look after
those eligible to membership in the club
and who desire to become members. The
matter of appointing a committee to make
ARRANGEMENTS for the annual dinner on
April %, was left to the president. Col
John Screven. A lunch was served, and the
evening was much enjoyed

The announcement that Col. J. II. De-

Joseph f. Doyle and his friends to cease
their efforts in Mr.. Doyle's behalf. They

Mr.. Doyle is not talking much. He said
yesterday that he does not consider the

Doyle said I'VE have friends who are on

EXCURSION WILL BE RUN.
Northern HOmeseekers to Make Pur-
chasers Here.


ehasers Here.
The excursion of homeseekers from the
Ohio river section 10 Savannah viii be
run This was decided definately at a
meeting of landowners yesterday after
noon at the Office of Mr.. C. II. Dorset.
Mr. w. II. Nesbitt, manager of the
American Real Estate Exchange of Day
ton, o, was at the meeting, and the deal
between the business men and himself was
consummated. 1t provides for the excur-
sion to Savannah during the first week
in April, the 9Th being the day the arrival
is expected.
The promoter of the excursion is Mr..
Nesbtt with his force. He will start ad-
vertising at once. He feels confident that
he can get at least four hundred none Jed
men down to buy Savannah real estate
with the object of settling here. Only
men Of means will be solicited by the ex-
cursion agents, as buyers are wanted.
Mr. Nesbitt says there are thousands of
people of good standing as citizens and
well off financially who are anxious TO
leave for the South. If they can be shown
the advantages that would follow their
settling in Savannah they would be per-
fectly willing to sell out their holdings and
come. Mr.. Nesbitt says he is satisfied that
there are many things about Savannah
that will attract the people among whom
he will work up the excursion. He has
made a study OF the conditions that pre-
vail here, and has found them very sat-
isfactory to his work of inducing immigra-
ton.
i. Mr.. Nesbitt was IN Savannah last No
Vember. He was then taken over the land
it is proposed to dispose of. He was
greatly impressed with 1t and believes
there will be no difficulty in effecting sales.
He says he always makes it a point be-
fore engaging in an undertaking of this
kind to satisfy himself that people would
be suited with what they find.
In about two weeks one of Mr.. Nesbitts
representatives will be here to get up adj
vertising data. This matter will be extern
sively distributed. II is expected that the
excursionists will be here about week.
Mr.. Nesbitt left last night for his home.

River and HarbOr Committee VIII BE
Taken Down the River.

Mayor Meldrim has received a letter
from Congressman Lester, written en-
route, announcing that the river and har-
Dor committee of Congress- now in Flor
ida, would arrive in Savannah Friday
night and would spend Saturday here.
Mayor Meldrim is in consultation with
the officers of the Cotton Exchange and
the Board of Trade in reference to the
reception and entertainment of the dis
tingushed visitors. Some anention of the
committees visit will probably be made at
the meeting of Council tonight.
The question now under consideration
is whether the social or the business feat
ure shall predominant in the reception and
entertainment of the committee. AS many
of the members of the committee
are accompanied by their wives, this has
a tendency to give prominence to the so
cial features of the occasion.
The committee will be taken down the
river to demonstrate to them the result
of the improvements which have been
made in the channel by the government
One of the Ocean Steamship Company's
vessels may be secured for this purpose,
but if this cannot be done one of the river
steamboats, win doubtless be called into
requisition.

TRIED To BURN 1T OUT.
Graham Grocery Co.'s store Had "A
Narrow Escape.

When the Graham Grocery Company's
store at Congress and Jefferson streets
was opened yesterday morning decided ev-
idence was discovered of an attempt that
had been made during the night to burn
the building. A pane had been taken out
of the window on the 81. Julian street
end and blazing paper thrust in. A
heavy wire grating shields the window
and it probably thwarted the plans of the
incendiary. His movements were some
what hampered by the grating, and he
had to push the. paper through the win
dow with a stick
When the pane had been removed, which
was evidently done by removing the putty
with knife, it was pushed 10 one side
within the grating. A large advertising
picture hangs over the window on the in
side. This was showed to one side to adj
nit the paper.
On the outside of the store, just under
the window, was a wisp of broken straw
such as Is used for packing purposes. These
are pieces that fell while a pile of it was
being thrust through the opening made by
the removal OF the pane 1t was evidently
the desire of the incendiary to let his fire
fall in fertile spot when he dropped il
inside the building. He was almost sue
cesstul, only a few inches separating it
from a big pile of hay. If this had caught,
the store would have been in flames in
very short order.
When Mr.. Graham and his clerks were
looking over the field of the would-be in
cendiary's actions, they found the half
burned fragments and the ashes of a pa
per These We're in a sink, that stood one
side of the line followed by the straw in its
fall from the window to the floor The fire
bug had apparently missed this line when
ne attempted to thrust his blazing paper
In on top of the straw Had it fallen in
the straw instead of in the sink, nothing
could have prevented fire starting up. But
the iron sink was fire proof and none of
the fired paper CHANGED to drop out.
Inc stick used to push the paper and
straw into the building was found in the
window, with the unconsumed fragment
OF the paper twisted about its end. The
man who was al the other end had evil
IDENTIFY dropped il 10 run as soon as he
decided that his work had been accom-
pllshed and that fire was a sure thing
The state of mind of the firebug must
nave been study after he had gotten to
a safe distance. He had no reason to
think that his plans would miscarry, for
he thought he had dropped the paper right
on the straw, and he must have known
something about the interior of the store
ana the arrangement of the hay.
Mr. Graham made report of the mat
ter to Fire Chief Mcguire, who found no
doubt of an incendiary attempt having
been made. He took charge of the stick
and the charred piece of paper found in
the sink, thinking that clew as to the
identity of the frebug might in some
way grow out of them.
The proprietors of the store have no
idea who the would-be incendiary is If
he had been successful in his plans a dis
astrous fire might have resulted, as the
stores of the block are Joined.
