last year he was conducting a retail gro
Gerry business on Park avenue, from which
he was making good living. At the So
licitation of an agent of the defendants
and with the understanding, he claimed,
that ii was not to be placed on record. he
had given them a mortgage on his stock
of goods and fixtures, to secure the pay

eral onslaught of all his creditors and
causing him to be sold out by the sheriff
For this he asks $4,000 damages.

ADVERTISING REUNION.
Railroads offer "a Rate of Once Cent
Mile to Louisville

The Central Railroad has already be-
gun thee advertisement of the reunion of
Confederate Veterans which will take
place in May at Louisville, Ky. Tickets
will be on sale May q, rs and 90. with a
final limit returning of June 6. The rate
will be one cent a mile. When the Con-
federate Veterans of Georgia met last fall
in Savannah the Central got out some
handsome illustrative advertising matter,
and it is doing the same thing for the
Louisville reunion.
1t is a matter of regret to the rail lines
entering Savannah that the local military
companies that were thinking of going to
Louisville to attend the reunion will not
do so. Every line coming into the city
would have had show for the business,
which would represent considerable rev.
enue. Three commands had decided upon
the trip, but it was given up in view of
the Reunion Committee having made no
preparation and having extended no in
vitation to the troops
Mr.. John M Egan, vice president of
the Central of Georgia, left yesterday at
noon for New York.

of the Central, is in St. Augustine attend

master Her representation of the charac-
ters merited the applause that she receiv-
ed; after sympathetic rendition of the

poems. THE Absent Minded ,Beggar,"
which was given by request, and Send

en- by Mrs. Silva-Teasdale. They are both
beautiful compositions and were sung
most effectively.
Papa and the Boy by Harbour,

boy and his unseemly time for asking
ques tons, was recited by Miss Selig. 1t

IMPROVED THE EXCHANGE.
Health officer to Have Quarters on
the Second Floor.

t0e second floor.
The renovation of the City Exchange
begun by ex-Alderman Williams is still
in progress. The main entrance is now
being improved by staining the floor and
repainting the walls and the work of re-
papering the offices of the director of pub
lie works is in progress. Director Gads-
den has received bids for providing the
entire building with steam-heating ap-
paratus. The cost of this work will APP
parently fall within the estimate of the
director, between $1,000 and $4,000. While
it is generally acknowledged that the
putting in of steam heat would be great
addition TO the building, it is feared that
the approach of warm weather will cause
a relaxation of interest in the subject.
The large room in the northwest corner
of the building, just across the hall from
the clerk of Councils office, is to be fit
ted up for the health officer When this
is done the health officer and his staff
will move down from the south room on
the top floor which the health depart
ment has occupied for so long. The pres
emit quarters are hardly in keeping with
the Importance of the office. DR.. Brun-
ner was very we'll satisfied to remain on
the third floor, but on account of the
number of callers at the office it was de-
cded that it would be better to locate the
office on the second floor, where it would
be more convenient to the public, as well
as to the city officials.
The room intended for the health Off
GER is now occupied by the house drain
age engineering force, but this occupation
is only temporary and the present occu-
pants can easily be provided with quar-
tens elsewhere. The idea of equipping
the Exchange with an elevator has been
abandoned for the present.
