RIGHT on SIDE or WIFE.
Court Refused to Enjoin Sally Jones'
Sale of Her Property.

The marital troubles and infelicities Of
Thomas and Sally Jones received a gen
eral airing in the Superior Court yester-
day, when Judge Falligant was hearing
evidence and arguments m the matter of
the application of the husband fer a tenn
porary injunction. restraining the wife
from disposing of or incumbering some
property in The western part of the city
The parties are negroes, and Thomas Is
unab g 10 read or write. He averred in
as petit on to the court that during the
time he was living with Sally. before their
present state of separation had begun,
he invested his money in a lot and had
put upon it a house ana other improve
ments. He instructed his wife to look
after this matter of business for him,
aud was under the impression that she
had followed his Instructions aud had
taken the deed in his name.
Very greatly o his surprise, the petit
ton recites, he learned that the house
was in her name. Therefore II was that
he asked the court to prohibit her dis
posing of or incumbering the properly
until he had time and opportunity 20
make legal rroof of the rights which he
claim ed On this showing Judge Falligant
granted a temporary restraining order
some two or three weeks ago.
1t was the question whether or not this
order should be continued in force or dis
solved that was before Judge Fallisant
for consideration and decision yesterday.
The defendant, in the meantime had filed
an answer, in which she stated that not
only had the husband contributed nothing
10 the purchase money of the house and
let, which she paid entirely from her own
pocket, but that of late years he had be-
come drunken, lazy and trifiing, refusing
TO work and manifesting an unconquerable
aversion to any other forms of exercise
than eating and sleeping-both at her ex-
pense.
All of this and considerably more came
out during the course of the examination
of the witnesses. The court came quickly
to the conclusion that the woman had right
on her side, for an order was passed re-
fusing the temporary injunction prayed
for and dissolving the restraining order
previously granted and of force. The
plaintiff in the case was represented by
Mr.. w. II. Boyd and the defendant ty

COUNTRY STORE At ELKs FAIR.
Everything in Creation Mt n Flat and
Purely Nominal Price.


The Savannah Lodge of Elks has decid-
ed to add a new feature to its street fair
and carnival to be held in the Park Ex-
tension in November. The feature is new
only in its connection with the Elks' en-
terprise, as it has been successfully tried
on many other occasions.
Since the executive and other commit
tees OF the carnival have got down to ac-
tive work in its behalf a large number of
misc ellaneous contributions have been re-
ceived from manufacturers and wholesal-
ers from all over the country. The very
diverse nature of these contributions
made the question of their disposal some
what involved, but it has been finally de-
termined 10 sell them at the Elks booth,
where country store will be conducted.
Such store was among the attractions
at the Masonic Fair last spring and made
much money for the enterprise. The Eiks
say they will have more and different
things to sell in their store than have ever
been offered before. and they, of course,
will sell them for less money.
Secretary G. Reuben Butler, of the Ex-
ecutive Committee declared yesterday
that although there would be but one
price for every article sold and that a
very small one, it would be possible to
secure for this purely nominal sum any
thing from a paper of pins or a cake of
soap to a grand piano or a city lot 1t
was only after strong pressure had been
brought to bear that he could be induced
to confess that the last named articles
would be in the minority.

state. Capt. Cam presented a letter from
the Savannah Grocery Company, signed
by its secretary, stating that the demands
of justice would not suffer by the dismiss
sal of the case against Witte and
requesting that nolle prosequi be
entered. Mr.. Lawrence also recommended
that this be done. Whereupon, on motion
of the solicitor general pro TEN. the mat
DER was allowed 10 take that course and
the indictment was nol-prossed.
In settlement of the case White and his
friends paid to the prosecutor the sum of

WANTS TO FIGHT CORCORAN.
Another Louisville Man Seeks the
Honor.

Honor.
Tom Corcorans defeat of George Pierce
seems TO have given him a reputation
among the Louisville, KY, sports, al
though il added little to his glory in Sa-
vannah. Tom Williams of that city, has
already challenged him for a 25-round go
at Savannah, under the usual conditions,
and now "Reddy'' Hamilton of the same
city, announces his desire to arrange a
match with the redoubtable Savannahian.
A letter for Corcoran in care of the
Morning News was received yesterday
from Hamilton, together with another for
the sporting editor of the News. In this
lette. Hamilton says:
II would like 10 arrange match with
Corcoran at any rea sonable terms he
might suggest; from 14O to $50 pounds at
the ringside, or at 8 clock in the after
noon. l see where he defeated George
Pierce in five rounds. l have also de-
feated Pierce, but in two punches. OF
course l am not trying to take any credit
away from Corcoran's victory. / simply
want to show you that Tom and I could
make q good match and give the people a
run for their money"
Corcoran, after reading Hamitons let
ter said that the latter and Tommy Will
Jams. who has also challenged him, are
matched to fight each other in Louisville.

after that date and then challenge the
