FOR INDIA'S STARVING PEOPLE.
Southern Bank Fund Increased over

The fund for the India famine sufferers,
being raised through the Southern Bank,
has increased over 500 since the list of
contributors was announced in the Morn
If g News several days ago The extent OF
the famine and the terrible restitution of
the people in the famine stricken terri
tory of India is appalling.
In letter to Vice President Crane Of
the Southern Bank. Mr.. L. T. Chamber
lain, chairman of the executive commit
tee on India famine relief. points to the
situation of the people. Thousands of or
phaned children are starving and millions
of people are without the barest necessi-
ties of life. Many people when appealed
to in behalf of the sufferers refuse to give
because they believe it is the duty of the
British governing mt to care for these peo-
pie.
The British government, Mr.. Cham
berlan says, has already expended more
than fifty millions of dollars,
TO which must be added many
millions of private charity contributed by
Great Britain and her colonies and the
splendid gifts of America and other coun-
tries. over 100000 of people, 100000
being children, are receiving government

While the suffering has been relieved
somewhat by the rains that have fallen
in parts of India they are insufficient to
aid the formers, and no harvest can be
gathered before October. Until then the
distress and mortality from hunger must
increase. The number of people now re-

SUES FOR ALLEGED ASSAULT.
L. 8. Read Claims 10 Have Been
Beaten by a NotOrman.

The case of L. S. Read. colored against
Herman Myers and j. H. Fall. was placed
on trial in the City Court yesterday, and
a considerable portion of the evidence was
given to the jury. The defendants were
the owners of the old Electric Railway
Company of Savannah, at the time of
the occurrence upon which the claim for
damages is based.
Read sues for $500 for injuries alleged
to have been inflicted upon him by the
motorman of car upon which he was
riding on May 2S. 1897. He charges in his
petition that the motorman committed
ar assault upon him with the controller.
by which the speed of the car is regu-
lated, al the corner of CASTOR and Price
streets. This assault, the plaintiff says,
was without provocation given on his
part, and inspired solely by the motor
mans malice.
He further charges that when he went
10 the transfer Office of the company. at
the corner of Price and Bolton streets,
for the purpose of complaining to the
superintendent of the company of the
manner in which he had been treated by
tS employe, he was again set upon by
the motormen. again without provocation.
and given another beating with the con-
tIoiler. Read testified to this alleged
state OF facts in the trial of the case yes
terday.
His evidence was rebutted by the intro
duction of the interrogat tories of the mo-
torman by whom che assault is alleged to
have been committed. w. L. Lipford, who
now resides out of the county. Lipford,
in his interrogatories, says that Read be-
csame exceedingly noisy, insolent and Of
fensive whe nthe car would not stop for
him on the south side of CASTOR street,
but under instructions, was moved across
the street. The motorman elected Read
from the car, but used no weapon and no
further violence than was necessary to
accomplish this purpose.
The trouble at the transfer station oc-
Cured after the motorman was off duty
The negro appeared on the scene and be-
gan his complaint with an oath, directed
toward Lipford, who CHANGED to be within
hearing distance. He says he walked up
to the negro, there was word or two
and then he threw Read out into the
street and beat him, but used no weapon
other than his hands. He admits that the
threshing that Read received was a good
one
There is quite good deal of other evil
dence that will be submitted when court
convenes to-day. The plaintiff Is repre-
sented in the trial of the case by Messrs.
Garrard & Meldrim and the defendants by
MesSrs. Osborne & Lawrence.

is travelling passenger agent. A tele-

WILL LET EMPLOYEES GO.
Many i'm the Plant System Shops Elk
pect to De Laid OF To-day.

Shop employees of the Plant System are
in fear and trepida rion to-day. They be-
lieve that half their number will be laid
off. and but few feel certain that they
are not among those whose heads are TO
fall. Until the announcement is made as
TO who is to go and who is to stay, the
uncertainty will not be relieved.
II is said the force employed in the
shops is to be cut down to-day. The Off
Gals have decided upon this step as a
measure of economy. The shops have
been running on short time, but one of the
men declared last night that this de-
creased time for working has not accom-
plished just what has been sought and
that a large number of the employees will
be laid off.
