Pilots of Steam Vessels of the United

week, and come from all the harbors and
navigable rivers in the country.
This is going TO be a big meeting,

the organization. I'VE will have good fell
lows from every corner of the country
wherein there is water enough to float a

Congress to do for us is to establish a ma

undergo the hardships suffered by pilots,
and the calling is a perilous one. Such
an institution would be a deserving one

CRIMINALS WE'RE PUNISHED.
Tom Rivers. Bicycle Thief, Sentenced
to Five Years in Penitcntiary.

Tom Rivers. Bicycle Thief, Sentenced
to Five Years in Penitcntiary.
Yesterdays morning session Of the su-
perior Court was taken up IN the trial
Of number Of criminal cases ambrac-
ing burglary, robbery and assault with
intent 10 murder. But one of the defend
ants on trial got his liberty, all the 9th
ers being sentenced to good terms on the
chain-gang or in the peniteuuary.
Tom Rivers had been indicted on two
charges, both springing from the same
incident to both of which he pleaded
guilty. Rivers is the negro who broke
plate glass window in the bicycle store
of r. A. Brvson, on Bull. street and Perry
lane and removed form inside the store
a chainless Columbia on which he had
set his enVious eye. The noise of the
breaking glass attracted the attention of
Mr. w. H. Hoffman, who rooms above
the store, and he had come down to in
vestigate the matter. He found Rivers
just about to mount the wheel and seek
safety in some other part of the city
Mr. Hoffman made his appearance and
Rivers drew his revolver at the same
time. As the Investigator Of the crime
approached closer the thief, the latter
fired, the bullet from his revolver hatten-
ing itself against one of the iron door
posts of the building and inhicting no in
jury upon Mr.. Hoffman. who did not lin
ger longer.
Rivers was indicted by the last grand
jury for burglary and assault with Ia
tent to murder To both charges he en-
tered a plea of guilty, and Judge Fall
giant sentenced him to three years in the
penitentiary for the burglary and two for
the assault with intent to murder, the lat
ter sentence to begin on the termination
of the former
James Green, colored was charged with
the offense of highway robbery The pros
ecuting witness was James Hutto, who
swore that he had been assaulted by Green
and that money to the amount Of S12JO
had been taken from him by the defend
ant. Green's statement and the argument
of his counsel combined did not serve 10
convince the jury that he was innocent.
The verdict was guilty, with a recommen-
dalton TO the mercy of the court, and
Judge Falligant imposed sentence of five
years at hard labor in the penitentiary OF
the state The maximum puuishme mt for
the offense is twenty years.
Andrew Wright colored, pleaded guilty
to an Indictment charging him with as
sault with intent to murder Samuel VIII
son. Wright took a pot shot at Wilson
with revolver, inficting an unimportant
wound. from which it did not take the
wounded man long to recover. In view
of the defendants plea of guilty and the
unimportant nature of the wound, Judge
Falligant fixed his punishment at a fine
of 500 and costs or, in lieu thereof, twelve
months at hard labor on the Changing
of the county.
All the business before The court was
completed during the morning session. SO

MIR. EDDY's ORGAN RECITAL.
The Programme He VIII Play at
LawtOn Memorial Tonight.

LawtOn Memorial Tonight.
Mr. Clarence Eddy, concert organist,
arrived in the city yesterday morning and
is at the De Soto. Mr.. Eddy came here
direct from Marion, Ala, where he gave
concert to the pupils of Judson Insti-
tute His present tour began during the
early part of October and will last until
the latter part of March. The fact that
he has all the engagements that he con-
veniently can fill during that time is an
excellent commentary of his popularity
and the estimation in which he is held in
musical circles.
Formerly of Chicago, where he taught
for a number of years, Mr.. Eddy now
lives in Paris, and has given up all mu-
steal work except these, his annual con-
cert tours. and the editing and arranging
of compositions for the organ.
This is his first visit to Savannah, and,
though the short time he has been here
and the disagreeable weather have pre-
vented him from seeing much of the city
he is so favorably impressed with what
he has seen that he expects to remain
over tomorrow to visit the places of in
terest. From Savannah he will go to Fort
Smith, Ark, hence to Shreveport, and
continue westward, playing at the numer-
Gus clueS on the way uhtll he reaches
California, where he will end his tour.
At to-nights recital he will play the
following programme:

ing the Difference in Price.
The action instituted by County Admin
Istrator Jordan F. Brooks as administra-
tor of the estate of H. L. Fahrenbach,
against Walter Meyler was decided yester-
day afternoon in favor of the defendant
The suit was for the difference in the
original selling price Of land bought by
the defendant Of the plaintiff. and the
price at which the land was sold after the
defendant had refused to accept it.
The action was for $563.75. In 1894, the
administrator, acting under Instructions
from the Court Of Ordinary, had the land
advertised and exposed for sale at pubic
outcry. The highest and best bidder was
Mr.. Meyler, and it was knocked down to
him for $3.50. Then he refused to ac-
cept it, and it was exposed for sale a sec
ond time, this sale resulting in the sale
of the land for $500 less than the price
first obtained. The expenses of adver6is-
ing and commissions for this second sale
were $63 75 and these formed part of the
damages for which the plaintiff entered
suit
The defendants answer to the petition
alleged that the advertisement of the prop
erty for the first sale, inserted by the
plaintiff. was erroneous and misleading, in
that il did not show that it was not the
whole Of the lot of land in question, with
an unobstructed front that it was pro-
posed to sell and that long and narrow
strip of land, extending along the whole
front or inc pace, Ueiorse1 IT. otart ffr,-

he was to get the whole lot and repudi-

sold is situated in the village of Hemp

The jury accepted The defendants state
ment of the case and found in his favor,
after a few minutes deliberation. The
plaintiff was represented by Messrs Gar
rard & Meldrim and the defendant by
Mr.. Walter p. LaRoche.
