SAYS SHE'S NOT RUsHs WIFE.
Miss Mabel Dewitt Denies Tint
There Was a Marriage.

Sensational developments have come In
the case of assault with intent to murder
made against Dr. George w. Rush Of this
city as result of his recent shooting Of
his supposed father-in-law, DR.. Dewitt,
in Dayton, o.
Rush, as is wei known to his friends
here. brought Miss Mabel Dewitt back
to Savannah from the West and pro
claimed that she was his wife. AS man
and wife they lived together here until
she left him and went to her father TO
seek protection against DR.. Rushs al
legged cruelties.
Now, according TO accounts, she claims
that they were never married, that Or.
Rush has never secured a legal divorce
from his first wife with whom ne lived at
Athens, Brunswick and other points in
Georgia, and that there has, consequent
ly, never been any ceremony Of marriage
performed between them. Dr. Rush, she
asserts, promised to secure divorce but
never obtained a decree. 1t was out OF
this condition of affairs that the shooting
of her father grew.
These facts wire brought out at the
trial of DR.. Rush in the police court trial
at Dayton. Miss Dewitt, supposed up to
that time to" be Dr. Rush's wife, then
went on the stand and testified as above.
AS she gave her evidence her mother
tainted in the court room.
DR.. Rush claims that the womaa's de-
NAL that she was ever married 10 him
and her assertion that he never secured
divorce from his first wife are part of
conspiracy to get him out of the way.
By swearing that she is not his wife Miss
Dewitt, as she viii hereafter probably be
known, Is enabled to go on the stand and
testify against him in the trial for the
assault on her father She was the only
witness of the shooting, which took place
in the parlor of her fathers home.
Miss Dewitt had many friends and adj
mirers while she lived in Savannah. The
story she now tells will have more than
a passing interest to many.

MAY DROP SOME OFFICERS.

Third Regiment Wants Those Who
Can Bring Men Into the Ranks.
All sorts of efforts are being made to
fill up the ranks of the Third Georgia Reg
iment United States Volunteers and it
begins to appear that if something Is not
done pretty soon, some of the appointed
officers of the regiment will be dropped
by the wayside and others who can bring
men with them, be put in their places.
1t is understood Col. Gambler has Issued
a letter to every officer connected with the
regiment in which he states that the Gov
ernor and the officers are all exceedingly
anxious TO I'll up the ranks of the req
ment as soon as possible and all of the
officers are directed to go to work and get
in their quota without delay In the
event officers cannot secure a reasonable
number of men for the ranks of their
companies Col. Gambler very strongly in
Inmates that they viii be expected to re-
sign, so that others who can meet the re-
qurements may be put in their places.
Some of the officers in the regiment
have already done their fun share, but
there are others who have not. The let
ter, however. was addressed to every Of
ficer in the regiment, for il contained gen
eral Instructions with regard to the work
as wen as the matter referred to-
The Savannah officers, Capt. Henry Kol-
shorn and Lieut.. w. r. Leakeh, have done
their fun duty in the matter and now
have company of fifty-one enlisted men
at Griffin. They secured all told about
eighty-hve men, but over thirty of them
were rejected by the examining physician,
who was quite strict The regiment now
has some 500 to 600 men mustered in, and
recruits are going in every day, though
slowly. 1t looks. however, as If there
might be several changes among the Of
fcers before organization has been fully
completed.
The failure to issue commissions to the
officers Of the regiment was on account OF
this very matter. 1t was determined to
wait and see what the officers will do in
the way of securing recruits, and those
who fail to bring in a reasonable number
win probably have 10 give way to others.

1T is A DEAD PARTY.
POpuIists Putting UP No Fight at All
for Candidate Hogan.


for Candidate Hogan.
There seems to be but little necessity for
the Democratic party making a very hard
fight against the Populists this year, ex-
cept for the honor of burying the Third
party under a majority that will revive
recollections of the old-time Democratic
vote of the state, and make Georgia Sec
ond only TO Texas, the state of 100000 ma
jorihes.
Chairman duBignon has been keeping
pretty good track of the movements of the
Populists since they put out Pop Hogan
for Governor. The movements have been
so few and unimportant that il has not
been a very difficult matter TO do this. A
campaign so devoid of life has probably
never been seen before in any party or any
state. Everywhere the Third partyites
who have not yet returned TO the Demo-
cratic party realize that there is not q
scntilla Of show of success and they
are accordingly determined TO waste no
energy in fighting for a hopeless cause and
a defeated candidate.
1T will be surprising If the Populists do
not practically abandon the field before
election day approaches" said Chairman
duBignon yesterday. 1T is certainly a
question whether they will keep up head
quarters at Atlanta, or elsewhere. through
oul tHe campaign. All the -QdVlces COM
Ing to me show that Col Gambler has
practically no opposition. 1t is a grand
opportunity for the Democratic party to
roll up a majority that will tell on the
country at large, showing that the party
here is in magnificent shape and united
for the coming struggles. Our campo rS1
will open up next month Every effort
will be made 10 create that amount of in
terest which is necessary, under such cir
cumstances, to bring out full vote. Per-
sonally 1 think we have seen the last of
the Populist party as factor of any
great moment In state politics. In some
counties it will continue perhaps for some
time to control local affairs, but even in
them its life promises to be short. 1t will
soon be numbered among the dead parties
Of the past"

DALLIEs WITH THE CITY.
Alderman Davis Troubles With the
Street Railway management.


It is expected that Alderman Davis. as
chairman Of the streets and lane commit
tee. will make some reference to the old
belt line street railway bridge, at the
meeting of Council tonight. and. perhaps,
request some action by that body putting
a definite time at which the bridge must
be removed by the railway company.
The alderman is thoroughly in earnest
in this matter. He feels that the city has
put up with too much of don't care a
continental manner from the railroad,
and believes that the time has come to
can a halt and have the railroad made to
understand that it must comply with prop
er orders from the city. In the past, and
at the present, too, from what Alderm3 an
Davis Gays, the railroad has seemed in
clined to smile when it gets directions TO
do any work and goes on without paying
any attention to the matter. From what
Is said, Il has been this way for years, and
Alderman Davis is evidently destined TO
play the part of a reformer
There is entirely too little attention paid
to the citys orders by the railroad he
said yesterday, Il am one of those citi-
zens who do not think that the railroad
company owns the city of Savannah and
who believes that the streets belong TO
the people, and that the railroad given
the use of them should be compelled 10
keep up it's tracks and crossings Ia good
order, not for a little time, but ala the
time. 1t gets mighty tlresome at times
to be nagging and pulling 10 get things
done as they should be done. 1t takes
entirely too much time and too much writ
ing to get things attended to as they
should be- As 10 this bridge matter 1
am going to keep at it lf 1t takes all my
time, until It comes down. It is unsighty,
1t has been provided that it ehall come
down, IL Is in the way,
and 1t ought not to be
necessary for the city to have to pract-
cally force its removal ! don't mind cay
ing that it is no pleasant task having
such relations with the railroad company
as the chairman of streets and lanes is
called upon to have and do what is ones
duty to the public. AS I look at It, II
things ought to be done. and have got to
be done, they should be done at once and
done properly in the beginning"
From this 1t may be inferred that hav-
ing work done as it should be done by the
railroad company is a somewhat difficult
and long drawn out task The same COM
plant has been made in past administra-
lions.
Considerable inquiry having been made
as to when the tracks left In the asphalt
pavement at crossings on abandoned streets
would be removed Alderman Davis said
that the work will be IN order as early
in the fall as the health authorities will
permit it, It is claimed that It would re-
quire considerable turning up of earth at
these points, and for that reason the work
was ordered deferred until cool weather.

FIRST REGIMENTS FLAGS.

Party May Go to ChIcLamaugn in n
Few Days to Present Them.
The Ladies Regimental Relief Asso-
citation held a special meeting at the regi-
mental armory yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of discussing the question of
the flags to be presented to the First
Georgia Regiment through them by
Messrs. John FTannery, H. NJ. Conner,
E. F. Lowell, C. D. Baldwin and John R.
Young. The following letter from the
gentlemen named was received and dis
cussed:
Savannah, Ga, July 25.-Nrs. j. F.
Brooks, First Vice President Regimental
Relief Association, Savannah, Ga. Dear
Madam: The public reports of the prob
able early movement of troops to the
seat of war indicates that the First Geor-
gia Infantry, United States Volunteers,
will probably be among the first to go.
1t has been suggested by some of the
lady friends of the regiment that they
would like to present a suitable stand of
colors to the regiment before its depar-
ture
ut Is to crafty your desire that we have
procured for your association the accom-
panying flags"
The letter was signed by the gentlemen
who gave the flags, including a regmental
flag United States flag, and a guidon for
the Chatham Artillery.
No definite arrangements with regard TO
their presentation have yet been made, but
1t is probable that a party will so to
Chickamauga within few days for that
purpose.
The association will holds it's regular
monthly meeting next Tuesday, and would
like to have all returns from the picnic
made before that time.

PcpuIfsts Promises and Republican
Inducements Don't Suit Him.
Mr. T. F. Johnson again announces that
he will not yield to the honeyed promises
of the Popullsts and the soft endearments
of the Republicans and consent to become
a fusion candidate for Congress. He
would not object to a seat in Congress.
The salary is fair, the duties not too irk-
some, and he has a taste for public life.
But just now the inclination TO run for
the Office Is lacking and Mr.. Johnson s
friends here and throughout the district
will be deprived of the opportunity of cast
ing their ballots in his favor
THE calm tranquility Of private life is
so soothing to a man of my retiring dis
position that 1 am unwilling to abandon it
for the hurly-burly of a political contest"
he said yesterday. Even though I can
see that everything Is coming my way, in
GLIDING the voter who wants to negotiate
a loan, L must respectfully decline to ac-
cede to the wishes of my numerous con-
stituents and refuse the honor of a seat
in the Fifty-sixth Congress, which they
would thrust upon me. Like Caesar, /
must thrice refuse the monor, il twice is
not sufficient"

THE CITY's GOOD HEALTH.
Health officers Report to the sani-
tary Board.


tary Board.
Health Officer LeTIardy's June report
submitted to the meeting OF the sanitary
board yesterday afternoon, shows the gem
eral health of Savannah to be good. This
the board attributes in large measure
to cleanliness throughout the city and the
favorable weather conditions that have
thus far prevailed. There were eighty
seven deaths during the month, thirty-one
whites and ffty-six colored.
Much of the sickness that exists is
among children. The report shows scarlet
fever the disease most prevalent at this
time but the reports concerning 1t have
been exaggerated There are now twenty
cases. of which two are in colored fami-
lies but a very small per cent. of the
number afflicted have died. In every in
stance the health officer has sent out
special instructions and taken such steps
as would help 10 confine the disease to
the house in which 1t originated, and the
effort has proven generally successful.
The custom of posting placards. which
was temporarily abandoned by the board
has also been found helpful in giving peo-
pie notice to use greater care than If they
were kept in ignorance of the existence
of the disease. OF other diseases two
cases Oh ulpnJHeTld were ISpOllSn. Incl {
are no cases of typhoid.
The sanitary inspectors are given credit
for looking after the cleanliness of the
city pretty thoroughly. There was a total
of 7,45S inspections reported by the FIVE
men who attend to this feature of the
sanitary work. Inspector c. w. Lufbur-
row reported 1874 places looked after Sam
Stern, $50; Bernard Mcdonald, 1,543; Mar
Gus Lowenthal 1903, and John D.non, SIS.
Seven hundred and eighty-nine nuisances
were abated. This is The time when clos
est attention is given to the sanitary con-
dition of the city, and DR.. LeHardy has
specially instructed the force to be vigi-
liant in their work.
In the report is included the work of the
city physicians for the month. II shows
the number of patients treated, office calls
the number sent to the different hospitals
and other data Among the diseases
treated. there were 290 cases of malarial
fever, a large, per cent. of which were
among the colored people
Food Inspector Mcleod reported that he
had condemned considerable quantities of
meats. vegetables and other stuff He also
condemned a large lot of watermeIons.

1T WAS NOT A LIEN.
The Rice Mil Case Decided in Favor
of the Insurance Agent.

The Rice Mil Case Decided in Favor
of the Insurance Agent.
An interesting decision of the Supreme
Court rendered day or two ago. was
that in the case of the Savannah Steam
Rice Mill against r. NJ. Hull and others.
After the rice mill was burned the insur-
anoe agents got out all the rice they could
and sold it for salvage. The owners of
the property were ordered by the city to
clean up the burned rice and other debris
around the place. and this was done at an
expense Of $435. The owners of the proper
~ held that this expense was lien against
the salvage secured by the insurance
agents. and brought suit for the amount
in the Superior Court Judge Falligant
decided in favor of the insurance compa-
MES and the case was sent to the Su-
preme Court, where his decision was af-
hrmed. The decision was made out by
Justice Cobb and the language used is as
follows:
"Where warehouse In which goods are
stored is burned, and insurance companies
which had issued policies upon the goods
pay the owners thereof the full amount Of
the policies. and under an option In the
contracts of insurance take possession of
the damaged property. removing such
parts as are salable and disposng of them
and allowing the unstable parts to remain
upon the premises. and the warehouseman
is required by the municipal authorities
of the city In which the warehouse Is To-
Gated to remove the goods remaining upon
the premises, no equitable lien arises In
his favor against the fund realized from
the sale of the goods removed by the in
surance companies for the expense in
CURED by him in removing such as were
Yalueess and unstable"

MUST MAKE RETURNS.
Otherwise Those Subject to License
Tax May BE Heavily Fined.

Collectors of internal revenue, in diff
ferent parts of the country, are sending
out statements to the effect that heavy
fines will be imposed on parties subject to
a special license tax who fail to make
their returns in the month of July.
Such failure is said to render the delin-
quent subject to a fine of so per cent. of
the amount of the license tax. This APP
plies to bankers, brokers, proprietors of
theaters, pool rooms, billiard rooms, pawn
brokers and others specified in the law.
Collector Rucker has sent out no such
warning, and If these notices also apply
to Georgia 1t is probable a number may
be caught in the drag net and be liable 10
fines. Many of the classes of business
men referred to are understood not TO have
made their returns vet.
