Iy Decorated for the Reunion.

County building Will BE handsome
Iy Decorated for the Reunion.
The November meeting of the County
Commissioners will be held at the Court
House this afternoon. SO far as e to be
known in advance, there is no business of
special Importance to come before this
meeting of the commissioners and little
other than the regular outline of county
affairs is scheduled for consideration.
One matter of current interest though
will be presented to the board through the
report of Chairman Lyons of the Commit
tee on the Court House. 1t has reference
to the contract for the decoration of the
building during the Confederate reunion
which the chairman has already let to
Messrs. Mitteldorfer & Son of Richmond
This firm was responsible for many of the
beautiful decorations that caught the eye
of the visitors at the last reunion of the
entire confederation of the veterans al.
Charleston, where the handsome appear
ance of the public and private buildings
attracted universal admiration.
The Court House is to be decorated on an
elaborate scale. Several portraits of the
famous generals of the Confederacy are
to be used in the scheme of decoration ana
bunting is to be applied lavishly to the
Bull and President streets sides of the
building. Work on the decorations is to
'be begun next week, so that even before
the crowds of visitors arrive there will
be an inspiring example of the interes,
the authorities as well as the people, of
the city and county, take in the reunion.

MANY AT UNION SERVICES.
Rev. DIR. Fairs Sermon at the First
baptist Church Last Night.


The union services at the First Baptist
Church last night were largely attended.
The singing was strong and spiritual. Mr..
Sellers Gang 1.-The Ninety and Nine" with
splendid effect.
Rev. DR.. Fair of the Independent
Presbyterian Church preached from the
text Matthew 1874: And when they saw
Him, they besought Him that He would
depart out of their coast"
These people, said DR.. Fair, besought
Christ to depart from them and He went
away never to return. These words sug-
gest three lessons. 1t is not an uncom-
mon thing for men TO beseech Christ 10
depart from them. This has ever been true,
men are now entreating Christ to depart
from them. While the sinner seeks
Christ, He seeks the sinner. He seeks Us
through His word, His spirit and His
providence.
1t is no uncommon thing, said DIR. Fair,
for men to beseech Christ TO depart from
them for trivial things. Here they pre-
ferred swine to Chrst-temporal wealth.
They had nothing against Jusus, but they
could not give up their swine They de-
sired swine to a savior. their sins 10 God.
The same kind of thing is going on here
tonight Christ may take men at their
word and depart never to return. There is
| a limit even to the patience of Christ Are
there not some here to-n&ht beseechine
Christ to depart? Some father, or mother
or young man, or young woman? The ser
mon was very strong and made a deep i'm
preston. Mr.. Sellers sang Don't Keep
Jesus Waiting" which made a splendid
climax.
The after service was conducted by Mr..
Sellers. Many are interested. The meeting
| tonight win begin at o'clock.
Prayer meetings at p. m. to-day viii be
| held at Mrs Shuptrlne's, 308 Bolton street

CHARGE OF DAMAGE DENIED.
Defendants Say plaintiffs Are Re-
spOnsibIe for Breach of Contract.

Defendants Say plaintiffs Are Re-
spOnsibIe for Breach of Contract.
The defendants in the case of Charles
H. Hirsch & Co. against Fletcher 81 Maui
din filed their answer to the declaration
of the plaintiffs in the United States Court
yesterday. They deny any and all liabil-
ity in damages and say that the alleged
breach of contract was made by the plain
tiffs and not by them.
The petition of the plaintiffs charged that
they had agreed with the defendants to
purchase the entire output of their saw
mills, at a specified price for every thou
sand feet of lumber. Relying upon this
contract, they had not made other ar
engagements to fill their orders and sup
ply the wants of their customers, so that
when the defendant failed to supply them
with the lumber they were damaged in an
amount equal to the difference between
the agreed and market prices of the man
ufaetured product.
In answer to this charge the defendants
say that 1t was further agreed in the or
iginal contract that after shipping the
lumber they were 10 be at liberty to draw
upon the plaintiffs for the amount of the
bill at sight. On one occasion they ship
ped about 10000 feet to Hirsch & Co., and
in accordance with the agreement, drew
upon the firm for the money. The draft
was dlshonored and payment refused.
After that they refused longer to COM
ply with the contract aud sold and ship
ped their lumber to other parties. They
allege that whatever breach of the con-
tract has been committed has been by the
plaintiffs, and not by them and that they
are not in any manner responsible for the
damages Hirsch & Co. say they have in
Cured The case will be called at the
next term of the Circuit Court.

The GuideIess PAGER Made n Bril-
liant Exhibition Yesterday.
In the presence of several thousand
spectators at the Waycross Fair yester-
day Rosco, Savannah's representative
guideless PAGER, established a new record
for the Waycross track by stepping
mile without driver in PIT.
1t was after O'Clock when A. p. DOYLE
led the PAGER on the track for his fast
mile. Rosco was decorated with the ma
tional colors, and as he paraded in front
of the grand stand he was greatly admired
by the large audience. The track is a
half mife, and many horesmen were of
the opinion that the PAGER could not beat
2;23. After a few scores in company with
the runner hooked 10 a bike sulky Rosco
was given the word and he was moving
a a flying clip. When he passed the
quarter several watches registered SO sec
onds. on the PAGER flew with his run
ming companion at his side, and when the
pair swept by the half mile in Les the
large audience stood up and cheered the
PAGER to the echo. From this point the
runner begun 10 tire and Rosco didn't
have 10 exert himself very much to finish
the mile in 2:l7.
IL is the opinion of horsemen that Rosco
could have moved close 10 z:1O IL the run
ner could have held out and paced him

sidereo ssarkable for a half mile ring.

FINLEY GOT TWO YEARS.
Sent to the Penitentinry for Larceny
After Trust of a Bicycle.

Judge FaIligant yesterday sentenced w
M Finley to serve two years in the peni-
tertiary upon his conviction in the Su-
perior Court of the offense of larcency af-
ter trust. Finley is a white man, who
came to Savannah as a member of the
Fourth Illinois.
After his regiments arrival in Savannah
and pending it's departure, when 1t was
mustered out of the volunteer service,
Finley married Savannah girl. For
time everything went as merrily as the
proverbial marriage bell, until the mans
wandering disposition induced him 10 de-
sert the girl he had married and seek other
quarters. He had no money and to &C.
complish his purpose, it became necessary
for his brain to devise some scheme OF
overcoming the transportation difficulties
in the way.
The plan was Matched with a comrade
of his from another of the Illinois regi-
ments and two wheels were rented by the
men on the same afternoon. Finley got
his from Mr.. r. V. Connerat, and with his
friend started out on the road in the di-
rection of Augusta. On the way the
wheels were sold and the money thus Sc
cured appropriated to the private ends or
the two rogues. They continued on their
way from Savannah and were arrested in
Macon. under Geographic instructions
from Superintendent of Police Screven.
Brought 10 Savannah, they were both in
dicted for larceny after trust. Finley's
experience will cost him two years serv-
ice in the penitentiary, and his companion
In crime will be tried probably within the
next day or two. The trial Is expected
by those familiar with the cases to have
approximately the same result.
A nolle prosequi was entered, upon the
motion of the solicitor general pro tenn,
in the case of Willie Thomas, a little ne
gro who was shown to be but years of
age. The precociously vicious little rascal
broke open the store of d. Toosas and alb
straeted therefrom small sum of money.
His immature age rendered him not amen
able to the criminal laws of the state

QUARANTINE COST So, 800.

City Spent Only Half of It's ApprO-
priatiOn.
The city's land quarantine against yellow
fever points, which was discontinued by
the sanitary board last Sunday, cost the
city just about half of the 5000 appropr-
alton which was made by Council when
the quarantine was Instituted.
The land quarantine was on just fifty
one days at a cost of about $50 a day.
There were twelve inspectors employed on
the trains and one detective in the city.
The inspectors received 50 per day for their
services, which Included everything, no
allowance being made for expenses. Free
transportation was furnished the inspec-
tors by the railroads.
Health Officer Drummer said that it was
the most satisfactory land quarantine
that he had ever conducted. The quaran-
tine was very effective, only one person
having eluded the inspectors and gotten
into the city contrary to the regulations,
so far as known.
1.-THE railroads co-operated with us SPLEEN
didly," said Dr. Drummer. Every official
and employee seemed to feel as much In
terest in enforcing the quarantine as we
did ourselves. 1t was not necessary to
stop a single train, except at stations, dur
ing the entire quarantine and the rail-
roads We're thus saved much inconven-
fence. 1t was of course our desire to In
terfere with traffic as little as possible,
and the railroads appreciated this disposi-
ton on our part"
DIR. Drummer said that the efficient man
ner in which the inspectors had per-
formed their duty had been very salts
factory to him. Considering the length of
time that the quarantine was enforced
the city gets off with comparatively small
