MANUCY MONUMENT COMMITTEE.
Odd Fellows Lodges Arrange De-
tails for Raising Fund.

Odu EelIOWA Oe-
tails for Raising Fund.
The committees from the various Odd
Fellows lodges met last night for the
purpose of taking preliminary steps in
raising funds to erect a memorial TO the
late A. N. Manucy All the lodges were
represented, and the plans for raising the
necessary funds were discussed. Those
who have interested themselves in the
movement have gone into 1t with the de-
termination 70 make it a success.
Mr. Il. T. Meree was chosen chairman
and Mr.. Leander Butler secretary Of a
committee which will have in charge the
active work in raising the funds. Upon
their endeavors viii depend largely the
success of the work, but the fact they will
have the earnest cooperation of all their
outside friends. as well as the Odd Fell
lows. insures that success is likely to
crown their efforts
The kind of monument to be erected will
he decided upon in the near future. 1t Is
stated that the purpose is TO have some
hing beautiful and lasting. For years
MIR Manucy was the leading Odd FelloH
ia South Georgia, and the high esteem
IN which he was held by most everybody
will doubtless aid the committee IN get
ting contributions from outside sources,
II Il is decided 70 raise the fund In this
way.

GUILTY OF FIRST CHARGE.
Continued from Eighth Page.

of correcting any errors that might be
found, but showed no disposition to avail
himself of this privilege
Judge Falligant decided TO admit the ev-
idence, and Mr.. Williams repeated his
statements to the jury. He was cross
questioned at some length by Mr.. Hart
ridge.
Mr.. Williams testimony was not com
pleted until late in The afternoon. Mr.. Nc
Collum was the only other witness heard.
solicitor General Osborne had had pre-
pared typewriter copies of the statement
made by Mr. McColum of the Haupt
shortage, showing the amount of each
voucher and sight draft, the amount drawn
against IL by Mr. Haupt. and The excess on
each check. Mr.. Osborne stated that it
was his intention to furnish copy of this
statement to each member of the jury in
order that they might follow Mr.. McCol-
lum in his testimony and note the manner
and amount of each defalcation.
Mr.. Hartridge objected to this proceed
ure on the ground that the statement could
not be submitted to the jury before it had
been admitted as evidence. Mr.. Osborne
did not urge his sugges non further, but
requested instead that each member of the
jury be furnished with paper and pencil
In order that they might follow the state
ment, and note the amounts and the diff
terences. This was done and the unusual
spectacle of twelve jurymen taking notes
and figuring on the testimony was pre-
scented.
Mr. McConum confirmed Mr.. Williams
testimony as to the amount of the short
age. With the vouchers drafts, cancelled
checks and the check book with stubs be-
fore him, Mr.. McCollum took up each item
Of shortage separately, stating each item
by draft, voucher and check, and show
ing the amount of the difference. 1t was
shown that the checks presented exceeded
the drafts in each case, the amount of ex-
cesses varying from $40 TO $3.50. 1t was no
ticed that the excess was always in even
figures, whether large or small. For in
stance, with a draft of 1888. it would be
found that the check was ST. 49, or some
other amount that gave an excess of $40
$50, $780, $40 and even larger excuses. the
largest being $3.50. Some twenty or thirty
of these shortages were considered.
Mr., McCollum had not concluded his evil
dence at $50 o'clock when the court con-
tinued the case until this morning
The jury was taken 10 the Screven,
where they spent the night In the charge
of the bailiffs.

REV. wHARToN,s REVEALS.
His Services at the COIored COngre-
gatiOnaI Church.

Revival services are in progress at the
First Congregational Church. Rev. John
w. Whitaker, pastor, conducted by the
well-known English evangelist, James
Wharton who visited this city twelve
years ago.
Rev. Wharton has visited Washington,
Wilmington and Charleston, and in these
and other places hundreds were convert
ed. At the last named place, during his
ten days mission 155 were converted. There
is every prospect of a repetition in Savan-
nah. One writer commenting on the SER
vice he attended and Of the preacher, said:
ellis discourse was brmful Of pathos and
tender pleading, no milk and water talk
but straight to the point"
Rev. Wharton is a man of large exper-
fence, having spent twenty-three years of
his life visiting this country and holding
revlvals in nearly all the cities and towns
of every Southern state, as well as his own
country. His plain, practical talks get at
once to the hearts of the hearers with the
result that many long time sinners are
reached.
The meetings. which commenced properly
last Sunday, have become a great success
The church was filled both morning and
night yesterday with appreciative au-
diences, who took hold and worked with a
will with the result that their efforts were
rewarded by seeing q converts In the
morning and 20 more at the night service
Monday night was equally encouraging
The church was crowded and ten more
converts added to the LIST, which already
amounts up to So, with every prospect OF a
large number more being added every night

DEPUTY HEALTH OFFICER.
Alderman FARRELL Gets This APP
pointment From DIR. LeHardy.

Alderman Jarrell was appointed Deputy
Health Officer yesterday by Health Ohicer
LeHardy. Under the city ordinances DR..
LeHardy has the right to make this ap-
pointment, and as his inability to attend
his duties necessitated it, 1t was made so
that there may be no irregularity in the
conduct of the office.
Having been identified with the health
department from the time he went into
the City Council, Alderman JarrelPs APP
pointment will not devolve duties upon
him with which he Is not already fairly
familiar. The excellent manner in which
he has managed the health officer so far
has won him the. praise OF all other city
officials.
DR.. LeHardy is said not to be improv-
ing very rapidly. He has hosts OF friends
who are eager to hear Of his recovery.
but his improvement Is not what they
would like. While his condition is not
alarming, it is giving considerable uneasi-
ness to his friends. -a
