AN OUNCE OF LAUDANUM.
4. C. Hubbard's Close Call with the
DeadIy Drug.

An attempt to commit suicide by talk
ing laudanum was made yesterday morn
ing about 9 O'Clock. by a white man named
A. G. Hubbard, a wheelwright, employed,
it is said, by Mr.. T. A. Ward. The man
drank, it is thought. an ounce of the
liquid and had taken it about an hour
before the fact was discovered.
When the discovery was made he was
taken by Patrolman Cameron to the office
of DR.. Frederic Wahl, No. $50 West Broad
street. When he reached the Office the
effects of the drug were so pronounced
that the doctor would not send him to the
hospital, for fear that he would die on
the way, but Immediately started to work
OF him with the remedies usual to such
cases.
Only by hard and continued work was
the mans life saved, the doctor treating
him almost continuously from the time
that ne was brought to the office until
9 o'clock last night, when he was pro-
nounced out of danger, and sent home in
an ambula nee. Hubbard was unable to
talk about the matter last night and no
one else was able to give any reason for
the act that so nearly cost him his life.

RECEIPTS OF FRUIT.
Passing of the Georgia Crop VIII be
Followed by That From Away.

Fruits that usually come to market
about this time from outside the state
have stood aside while the markets have
been glutted with the finest of peaches,
plums. pears, grapes and other fruits which
grow in this section. However, it is not
yet time for fruits to arrive from abroad
and from other states. though shipments
will begin to reach the local market in
the course of the next ten days.
In speaking of the arrival of outside
fruits, a commission man said yesterday
he expected apples from New York would
be the next fruit offered in large quanti-
ties in the local market. Apples not only
come from New York. but all the New
England states produce them in abund-
ance. Pennsylvania also ships large
quantities to the South yearly. Apples are
also grown in immense quantities
throughout the West, and particularly in
Missouri, where special attention is given
to the growing of this fruit. The fact
that the apples can be more easily shipped
than the average fruit, and is more east
ly preserved in transit, makes 1t desir-
able crop, both for growers desiring to
ship to distance, and also to commission
men. With the proper care in packing
and providing Ventilatio to packages, 1t
is said apples can be kept longer than any
other article of a perishable nature
handled by commission houses.
1t will be several days before the Geor
gia crop of grapes is exhausted. They are
being received in fair quantities just now,
and are finding pretty good sale at sixty
cents per carrier of four baskets to the
carrier
Little has been heard yet from the ba-
mana crop, which will begin to arrive
later in the season. For a long time there
has been talk of establishing a line of
sailing vessels 10 bring the fruit from
South American ports direct to Savannah
instead of carrying it from those coun-
tries TO New York, and there handling
and reshipping south. A local firm has
been considering the question of direct
shipment of bananas but they have not
vet received sufficient assurance of sue
cess to warrant them In. undertaking an
enterprise of this kind. One of the main
drawbacks to testing it last year was I'M
derstood to be the shortage of the crop
1t was not thought advisable to under
take to get business for additional YES
sells, when those visiting South American
ports were not able to- obtain flrst-class
cargoes. If the conditions are better this
year it may be efforts will be made to do
something in this direction.
In the event fruits were brought to
Savannah direct, it is possible this would
develop into a supply center of import
ance, and that receipts would be auc-
TONED at the wharves the same as is done
in New York and other ports. Occasion
ally small schooners arrive here from Mas
san with fruit. and in every instance the
cargoes have been sold promptly to local
dealers. One great convenience was found
to be the nearness of the wharves to the
majority of commission houses.

TRIAL WILL BE INTERESTING.
Suit Against Mrs. Anna C. Wood

The case of A. E. Drought, suing for
the use of e. B. Drought. against Mrs.
Anna C. Woodbridge. will be resumed in
the City Court before Judge Norwood and
a jury at 10 o'clock this morning. The
trial was begun on Thursday and was

Judge H. D. d. Twiggs of counsel for
the plaintiff. being to direct a verdict for
his client. This motion was argued by
Judge Twiggs and by Mr.. w. r. Leaken,
who represented the defendant, and Judge
Norwood overruled it.
1t Is understood that with the intro

the character of the trial will be mate

STUDY OF THE BIBLE.
Rev. MIR. Cree at Duffy Street Baptist
Yesterday,

testeFuays
Rev. A. L. Cree of Louisville preached
at both the morning and evening services
at the Duffy Street Baptist Church
yesterday. The evening sermon was
preached from the text John 5:3s Search
the scriptures; for in them We think We
have eternal life; and they are they which
testify of me-"
This text was the answer he said, that
Christ had given the Pharisees and Sa-
ducees. 1t was of a sarcastic vein and
fitting rebuke to the opponents of a re-
ligion that has been so choked by the
growth of priestly pedantry and Rabbni-
cal tradition that it no longer bore much
sembiance of what it was originally. To-
day there is the same tendency among
the people, a growing tendency to neg
lect the pages of Gods truth for the writ
ings of man.
Nor is the tentency confined only to the
lay members of the church; the Sunday
school teachers are coming more and more
TO rely for all informa ton and instruc-
ton on the questions furnished in the
school quarterly, and among the minis
tiers the tendency is equally pronounced
to rely upon the many commentaries on
the Bible instead of the Bible itself
Il do not disparage these works, the
commentaries and other theological
works" said Mr.. Cree. Get from them
all the help that you can, but let not
these books take the place of the word of
God, for only by it can we hope for light
by which TO guide our feet. Read the
Bible, and what is more, study It. There
Is great difference between reading and
studying.
Foolish you would call the man who
tried TO live on one meal day, yet many
a man is trying 10 feed his soul on one
meal a week. and even that not at first
hand, but received through the preacher.
Should you starve to death the body you
would be condemned by God as a suicide.
Yet what of the soul? Think how much
more of a sin it must be in the sight of
the Almighty to starve the soul.
Il bring to you tonight the bread of
life; eet and you shall be strong in the
knowledge and faith of Jesus Christ.
There are some people, and l am sorry
that 1 should have to say 1t. who have
too much faith in God. They buy a fam
lily Bible, and putting It in a prominent
place, expect, through that act alone, to
save both themselves and their families.
A similar case is that of the young man
who is given Bible by his mother. Ii IL
slowed away in dark corner unused.
dusty and forgotten, and yet he expects
that II will have a good influence on his
life. Fire must have fuel. man must have
food, and the soul must have the word
of God 1t is from the sacred Scriptures
that is struck the spiritual spark that
lights our feet to God. Get the spirit of
God; get the hidden meaning of the word
of God. and so bind them together in your
soul that they will never leave you"

MAY BE sen -ATOR SMILEY.
a Hot Contest on An the Second sena-
toriaI District.

toriaI District.
The selection of delegates by Mcintosh
county Saturday TO the Second District
Senatorial Convention, who are believed
to be favorable to Hon. David A. Smiley,
probably settles the contest in that dis
trict in favor of Mr. Smiley. report
of the action of Mcintosh county was CIV
en- in yesterdays Morning News.
A very hot contest has been waging in
the district for this honor for some time
past. 1t is Liberty's turn to name the
senator and the two candidates from that
county are Hon. John S. warnell and Hon.
David A. Smiley, both prominent citizens
of the county.
A primary was held In Liberty last week
by militia districts to settle this question
There are eleven districts in the county,
each being entitled to four votes in the
county convention. The convention was
held al Hinesville Friday when it devel-
oped that each candidate had carried FIVE
districts, with one district, Hinesville, con-
tested. On the face of the returns War
nell had carried Hinesvile by three votes.
but Smiley's friends claimed that six H.
legal votes had been cast there.
After some warm discussion In the con-
ventlon IL was decided TO leave the decision
of the matter to the delegates from the
other two counties. Tattnall county has
already named delegates to the conven-
ton, four i'm number, of whom three are
said 10 be for Warnell and one for Smiley.
There are a number OF warm contests on
in the senatorial districts throughout the
state and considerable bitterness is being
aroused in some Of them. Mark Twain's
old story of a man who had previously
been considered respectable citizen find
ing himself charged with everything from
sheep stealing TO grave robbing when he
became a candidate for office, is being al
most literally verified in some of the dis
tricts.

MRS. CHARLES ELLIS DEAD.
Passed Away Yesterday Afternoon
After a Long Illness.

Mrs. Clara NJ. Ellis died late yester-
day afternoon at her residence. No 1o5
Oglethorpe avenue, east. after a lingering
illness. In her death Savannah loses one
of the noblest OF the women. who have
devoted themselves to all manner Of char
tiles and eleemosynary works. and she
will be mourned, not only by relatives and
friends. but by the many who have been
the benefciaries of the aid that has been
given through the societies and organiza-
tons with which she has been connected.
The birthplace of Mrs. Ellis was Little
Falls, Herkimer county, New York, and
her maiden name was Clara Myers. She

ried in 1854 90 the late Mr.. Charles Ellis.
In 1856 Mr. and Mrs. Ellis came to Sa-
vannah.
Mrs Ellis was a member of Christ
Church, and her interest in the affairs
of the parish was always marked. Upon
her coming 90 Savannah, she identified
herself with the church, and never did
she sWerve from the path that conscience
dictated as the right and proper one for
her 10 follow. To do good was her chief
aim, and thousands have been aided
through her instrumentalby and those
who have worked with her.
Mrs. Ellis held many Offices in the
Christ Church societies. At the time of
her death she was vice president of the
Bishop Elliott Society, in which she had
always manifested the greatest pride.
she was president, too, of the Diocesan
Society. An enumeration Of the religious
and charitable works in which she was
engaged would embrace practically all
connected with Christ Church, but 1t may
b. noted that her desire for the advance
ment of the cause of the Master was so
great that she strove for the dissemina-
ton of the Word organizing and conduct
ing weekly a Bible class for ladies al her
home.

Mrs. Ellis. The daughters are Miss Mary
L. Ellis and Mrs. P. A Waring, and the
