about Gen. Funstons brilliant capture OF
Agunaldo. He replied that all he knew
about 1t was what he had gathered from
the short dispatch from Manila that had
appeared in the mornings papers, and
he did not like to make an observation
upon such scant information. If the re-
port were true, he said Funston was GER

ed to Funston as very gallant, he re-
piled that he had never heard of that
officer doing anything that was not gal
liant.

on this station in 1891 on the old cutter
Boutwell,. On being detached from the

bishops Dispensation for Marriage
of Mar. Conner and Miss HanIey.

Bishop Kelley has granted a dispensa-
ton for the marriage in New York of
Mr.. Hugh NJ. Conner and Miss Bessie
Hanley. The dispensation is on account
Of the condition of the brides father, Mr..
Andrew Hanley, who is ill at the Imperial
Hotel.
The invitations for the wedding of Mr..
Conner and Miss Hanley, on Easter Mon
day night, at the home of the brides
parents on Taylor street, were issued
some days ago. Miss Hanley and her
mother went North about two weeks ago
and last week were joined by Mr.. Han
ley. Mr.. Conner is also In New York. The
granting of the dispensaion by the Bish-
op for the marriage to take place there
gave rise to the rumor that Mr.. Conner
and Miss Hanley may be in New York
instead of Savannah. No confirmation of
the rumor could be obtained. Further
than the fact that dispensatfon has been
granted, none of the friends of the bride
and groom-elect or their families have
any information that the wedding will
take place before the date for which the
invitations were issued.

Testimony in Habeas Corpus Case
Did Not Bear Out Allegations.
Judge Screven tried yesterday the first
case of which he has been required to
take cognizance since his incumbency of
the office of ordinary of the county. The
case was a habeas corpus proceeding in
stituted by Emily Anderson against Rob-
ert Jones, for the possession of four minor
children.
All the parties TO the proceeding we're
negroes. The minors the possession of
whom was sought to be obtained are Ma
ria, Rina, David and Emma Jones, aged
respectively II, 10, 10 and years. They
are the sisters and brother of the defend
ant and the grandnieces and nephews of
the plaintiff.
The plaintiff had alleged that the de-
PENDANT treated the children cruelty,
abused and beat them roundly and was
restraining them of their liberty against
their VIII. The evidence that was offered
by the plaintiff in support of these con-
tentions and charges did not bear them
out or substantiate their truth and Judge
Screven dismissed the petition and left
the children in the custody of the de-
PENDANT.

CASTOR STREETS PAVING.
Opposition to Putting Down New
Paving in Place of Present Shells.

OppOStt1On new
Paving I'm Place of Present Shells.
The Council Street and Lane Commit
tees circular letter to the owners of
property on Castor street. asking their
opinion as to replacing the shell pave
mene with asphalt or brick, is bringing
out an almost unanimously negative re-
ply, or rather an opposition to removing
the present paving If the protest against
the movement which was being handed
around yesterday is any evidence.
The petition suggests that If a change
is made at all a pavement of Augusta
ebert be put down, but some of the sign,
ers say they don't want ebert
but the shell road which has been about
half torn up in putting down the drain
age sewer, replaced.
Those who are canvassing the property
owners say there are not a half dozen
on the street who are not satisfied with
the present paving. The general opinion
is that instead Of spending money in
making changes In streets already paved
the city would do better to pave some
OF the sandy thoroughfares.

Fertilizer and phosphate men in Savan-

gineered by Messrs. Auchincloss Brothers

pal stockholders in the Dunedin Phos-
