U. 5. COURTS MEET TO-DAY.
Cases Awaiting Trial VIII Probably
he Set for Hearing.

The United States Circuit and District
Court will convene in Savannah to-day
for the purpose of clearing the Jail Of
the United States prisoners in confine-
ment there and of disposing Of other cases
that are ready for trial Judge speer
came down from Macon last night and IS
at the De Soto.
The juries for the two courts have been
summoned, and everything viii be in read
mess for the transaction of business when
the judge takes his seat and the mar
shall opens court to-day. The grand jury
of the District Court does not meet until
tomorrow so that there will be no in
dictments found before that time and it
will Se impossible to predict which, if any,
of the important and interesting criminal
cases in which indictments have not been
found viii be tried at the present session.
The case of w. f. Carter, the defaulting
Meldrim postmaster, is the one which, If
tried, will pack the court room with in
terested spectators. The sensational
charges that have been made by Carter
against the members of the Populist exec
utive committee in the last campaign, at
which he was chairman and by which
the money distracted from the receipts of
the postoftice is said by Carter to have
been used render him one of the most in
teresting defendants now awaiting indlct-
ment In the District Court. Carter has
said that when he is put on trial he will
substantIate all of his charges and prove
that when the money was taken it was
at the instance and request of the mem
bers Of the committee and upon their as
surance that it would be promptly refund
ed They have all entered indignant de-
malls to the imputation of completely in
the offense.
The intervention of the White Star Tow
ing Company in the case of the prize
steamer Adula viii also in all probability
be tried. The Adula was rescued from de-
by fire in the harbor of New
York by the tugs of the White Star com
pany and it has petitioned the court for
reimbursement. The owners of the
Adula have filed an Intervention, in which
they pray that whatever damages be al
lowed by the court be paid by the govern
ment, on the ground that, as the vessel
was at the time in the control OF the
United States marshal and beyond the
control of her owners, the government is
responsible for whatever damages are TO
be paid to the libellants The vessels in
smance had been allowed to lapse, and
either the government or her owners will
have 10 pay the damages without reim-
bursement from underwriters.
The docket will be gone over when the
court convenes at 10 O'Clock and the cases
that are ready for trial set for a hearing
The lawyers who are Interested in the
the various cases will be on hand at that
hour and endeavor to fix the time of
hearing at a day and hour agreeable to
themselves and the court.

her. She struggled to free herself from
his grasp, and as she did so he drew a
pistol from his pocket and threatened to
use il unless she became quiet. The re-
lease of his right hand from her person
gave her an opportunity to release her
self. of which she was not slow to take
advantage. and she pulled herself loose
and ran screaming from the house.
The man followed and as she ran fired
three shots, but he was angry and OK
cited and his aim wild, so that sh. was
not hit by any one of the bullets she
managed to effect her escape, and John
son was soon afterwards arrested nv po-
liceman Stafford.
When he was taken to the station bouse
the pistol with which he had done The
shooting was found concealed upon his
person, and the additional charge Of car
rying concealed weapons was entoraA
against his name. The man gave no ev-
PLANTATION of his action, other than tho.
he had been angered and irrtated bv the
conduct and words of the woman.

WILL INVITE CONVENTION.
No Doubt Felt That Epworth
Leaguers VIII Meet Here.

The committees appointed by each of the
four Epworth Leagues of the city will
meet tonight at Grace Church for the
consideration of the momentous question
of inviting the state convention of the
leaguers to Savannah next April. Three
members are on each committee, and but
one or two oppose the invitation being ex-
tended.
1t is said the measure will be carried.
Whatever action may be taken by the
commission Will not be final, as each COM
mittee VIII report TO Its respective league.
II is said there is no question, however
but that the leagues viii abide by what
ever action is taken by the commission.
A committeeman from Wesley Monu-
mental League who opposes bringing the
convention to Savannah, adopts his posi-
ton because of the difficulty in securing
entertainment for the delegates 10 large
conventions. 1t was not without great
trouble that the delegates to the South
Georgia conference of the Methodist
Church were provided with entertainment
and he believes further that it will be even
a more difficult matter with the leaguers,
who will come 500 strong as delegates while
The preachers and saymen attending as
delegates to the conference were but about
500. The committeeman says Augusta
wants the convention, and 1t would be
good plan to let ii go there.
Those who want the convention TO come
here are in the great majority, and it is
said there is no question about the invita-
ton being extended. If it is extended, it
will be accepted. Committees will have TO
go to work some time before the date OF
the meeting in order 10 get everything in
readiness for the entertainment of the del
egates. That is always matter for the
hospitality of the city at which the con-
vention is held.
Savannah has never had the Leaguers'
convention, and the majority of the COM
mission believes it should be had by all
means. Other cities have entertained the
delegates, and no reason is seen why Sa-
vannah should not do likewise. Besides
delegates, there will be about 500 visitors.
