WILL APPEAR AGAINST KING.
The EIarbees Push the Prosecution
Against Him,

Allen B. Elarhee and his wife and daugh-
ter Miss Jennie Elarbee, will go to Ma
con to-day TO appear as witnesses against
Joseph II. King, the husband of the young
woman. Her father swore out warrant
against King before Commissioner Lewis
day before yesterday, as stated in the
Morning News, for having written him an
obscene letter
Miss Elarbee was seen yesterday. She
told of some of the hardships she had I'M
dergone al the hands of her husband when
he made her walk through woods and
swamps from here to Helena. Her moth
er spoke bitterly of the trying experience
through which the young woman had
passed. Miss Elarbce seemed to be suffer-
ing from the effects of the privations she
had suffered on the long and toilsome tIip
.afoot, Ordinarily of engaging appearance,
she looked wan and pale.
The young woman married King last
November. The license was gotten under
the assumed name of Keene. This llseov-
cry was made some few days after the
marriage. The parents Of the bride were
greatly incensed, and from that time there
has been a wide breach between them and
their son-in-law. They later discovered
that he had another wife. possibly two
more, and his last one decided to leave
him. The young wife is only 10.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Minor Details That win Cut n
Prominent Figure

Wars and rumors of wars. The newsboys
have not changed their cry of "ai1 about
the war" for several weeks. Rea1ers of
newspapers begin to place the newsboy in
the category with the boy in the story who
cried wolf" So repeatedly when there
was no occasion for alarm that when dan
ger came ne got no assistance
But after all it is better to prepare for
war in time of peace" Many letters have
been received and many inquiries made of
H. Logan, the butcher as to his ability to
feed an army" His answer is like all his
replies, that show energy and enterprise.
He is always prepared for an emergency
Let an official order come from the depart
ment of war. and see how quick Logan
will furnish fat beef that will strengthen
the bodies of Uncle SANS soldiers and ma
rines and give them courage to face any
nation of the earth.
In the meantime, Logan's city trade will
not be neglected. The same standard will
be maintained and families will continue
to receive the very best products of the
country.-ad.

VERDICT FOR THE DEFENDANT.
Florida Central Wins the Damage
Suit brought by n. S. Keene.

Florida Central wins the damage
Suit brought by n. S. Keene.
The trial of the suit of R. S. Keene,
evangelist faith cure and cancer doctor,
against the Florida Central and PENN
sular Railroad for $4,000 damages for per-
sonaI injuries, in the United States Court,
resulted yesterday in a verdict for the de-
PENDANT.
According to Keenes contention, he was
about to board a passenger train at Bla-
den. in Glynn county, coming toward Sa-
vannah, when the train was jerked for
ward suddenly and he was thrown upon
the crossties, the resultant injuries being
a dislocation of his right knee, internal
injuries and others, by which he was
wholly incapacitated for work.
The defense claimed in the first place
that though preacher, Keene had a bot
tie of brandy with him, and was under
the influence of liquor. Keene denied be-
ing under the influence of liquor, but ad-
mitted he had the bottle with him, stat
ing that he was using ii to battle his face
for rheumatism.
The second contention of the defense was
that the train which Keene attempted to
board was a freight, and not a passenger
train, that it carried no passenger COACH
but only an ordinary caboose, and that it
was not allowed by the rules of the COM
pany to carry passengers. Under this
showing the jury was not long in return
ing a verdict for the defense. The plain
tiff was represented by Messrs. Toomer n
Reynolds of Waycross and Mr.. L. L.
Thomas of Jesup. Messrs. Denmark, Ad-
ans & Freeman and Crovatt & Whitfield
of Brunswick appeared for the defense.

Byron.
Are women more credulous than men?
That's a more or less open question. Wo-
man, it is alleged, is easily attracted, due
perhaps to her supposed overweening Gu
riosity But disappoint or mislead
a woman, even in small matters,
and you have lost her confidence
forever. A man rather enjoys be-
ing bamboozled or sold some
times, but a woman never forgives any
tampering with her confidence.
The great and instantaneous success of

the strongest sort of evidence of apprecia-
tive faith and trust. This firm has always
kept faith relgiously, not only with the
ladies' but with the public at large-and

BREWERY FIRE CONQUERED.
Firemen Had "a Long Fight I'm the
Vat Basement.

After twelve hours Of determined fire
fighting. the firemen succeeded in locat-
ing the blaze in the vat basement of the
Savannah Brewing Company's plant
about 10 o'clock yesterday and ended the
threatening destruction of the property.
The fire started in the packing between
the ceiling and Hnatl. as stated in the
Morning News. This packing consists of
saw dust and rice chaff, tightly packed
between the walls for the purpose of rem
dering the room air-proof The fact that
it was not exposed to any great extent
and the moisture of the room add mys-
terry 10 the manner In which the fire
originated. AS thes basement contains
only watts which have long since been
thrown aside. there was no occasion for
employees going there, though it is report
ed one of the men was in the basement
for some purpose the afternoon preceding
the fire. The slight exposure of the room
renders 1t dark even in midday and the
employees carry candles ATTACHED to iron
brackets having pAhf mat can be driven
In the wood so that the light can be
placed anywhere it is desired. AS there
is no probable way the fire could have
been started from one of these candles
and from the employees statement that he
had no matches while in the room, there
is little probability of this being the cor
rect theory.
Never have the firemen returned to
headquarters more fatigued Several are
laid up a result of their encounter with
the not smoke and those who were up at
the engine houses during the day were
suffering with their eyes. Foreman Tos-
bach of engine company No. 3 had his
eyes injured from smoke and heat Fore
ma of
also disabled as are Firemen Pitts, Ward,
Garry, McGrath, LaMott and Laird.
The fire burned some tiraa before it was
discovered and the smoke became intensely
heated When the windows and door to
the basement were opened, therefore, the
effect was nearly as bad on the hremen as
If it had been flame The smoke burst
out with intense energy and so filed the
space surrounding the opening that ii was
almost impossible to get close enough to
direct a stream inside. The basement be-
ing filed with watts which extended with
in four feet of the ceiling, was another i'm
pediment in directing the water. The on
ly alternative was to flood the place with
the hope of reaching the fire in that man
ner and in this Chief Mcguire succeeded.
No damage was done the storage rooms
above and the brewery was in full opera
ton during the day Manager Starr is
still unable to estimate the damage. 1t
only consists of a partial destruction of
the walls, however, together with slight
loss from water which seeped through to
adjoining machinery rooms. The loss is
fully covered by insurance and while the
brewing company has no use for the vat
room just now, Manager Starr says it will
be repaired for use in case of emergency.
