just fight and we propose to win it by
fair means"
Master Machinist Stump of Portsmouth
stated to a representative of the Morn
ing News that no effort will be made 10
bring non union men to Savannah until
the agitation blows over. The Sa-
vannah shop does not use large force
of men and is the smallest on the system.
Mr.. stump says that men will be Kept
in the shops at Portsmouth, Americas and
Fernandina and thar all of the companys
work will be done at those points until
the strike Is declared OFF. He denies that
the shops under him are still closed down,
and SAYS that on che contrary they are
running with full force. Non-union men
are used, he says, and they sleep and eat
in the shops. The same programme has
been arranged for Americas and Fernan-
dina, according to Mr.. Stump The Ports
mouth man did not go to Americas on the
special. but was relieved by Master Ma
chinist E. ]. Justice of the Savannah
shops.
There was no change in the situation
yesterday and the strikers are as conf
dent as they were on the first day. They
insist that they will not return 40 work
unless they be given ten hours pay for
nine hours work. They say that the ma
chinsts are thoroughly organized and that
neither the Seaboard or Southern Railway
can get any work done in any of the other
places in this city.

ARE ATTORNEYS FEES DUE..
Interesting Question of Law for
Judge Norwood to Decide.

Interesting Question of Law for
Judge Norwood to Decide.
A motion involving in its decision an
interesting question OF law was argued
before Judge Norwood, in the City Court,
yesterday afternoon. The motion was to
set aside as void part of the judgment
in favor of the Germania Bank against
Mrs Matilda c. Ferrill.
The bank recovered Judgment by de-
fault against Mrs. Ferrin for $4,000 prin-
cipal some interest and 10 per cent. at
torneys fees. The attorneys fees were
recovered under a stipulation in the Sc
curity deed given by the defendant to Sc
cure the payment of her note. the fees
being made recoverable, by the terms of
the deed, In the event that legal pro-
ceedings were instituted to enforce col
lection of principal and interest.
BY agreement between counsel the
principal and interest of the judgment
have been paid. leaving the question of
attorneys fees to be determined by Judge
Norwoods decision of the motion argued
yesterday. Mr.. s. B. Adams appeared
for the defendant in the case, while Mr..
George w. Owens represented the bank.
The law of the state says that stipula-
as a penalty for the non-payment of a
debt, made upon the note or other evil
dence of Indebtedness, shall be wholly and
absolutely void.
II was contended by Mr.. Owens that
the stipulation was not made in the evil
dence of Indebtedness. but in the security
deed which accompanied it,. and that
therefore the stipulation was valid and
the judgment for attorneys fees good
and binding in law. This position was
controverted by Mr.. Adams, who con-
tended that the law said and meant that
stipulations for the payment of attorney 5
fees upon" a note or other evidence of
Indebtedness should be void, and that ii
did not matter whether the stipulation
was made in the note or not. If the
stipulation for the payment of penalty
in the event legal proceedings were in
stituted by the lender, formed a part of
the agreement for the loan, Mr.. Adams
contended, it was void and a judgment
based upon II was void.
Judge Norwood did not render a decis-
ion. but took the briefs of counsel and
will examine the authorities bearing on
the subject further before making up his
mind what he will do.

been notified OF the manner of Tom Hun

A cursory examination of the body did

MONTHS FOR REPENTANCE.
GOIdie Snow Was Given Time to
Prove Her Reformation.

Prove Her Reformation.
Goldie Snow, Gypsy fortune teller with
a reputation for meanness and a craving
for liquor that equals it, was sent from
the City Court to the county chaingang
on yesterday morning, to serve sentence
of twelve months for vagrancy.
Recorder Myrick was about the only
witness who appeared against Goldie, but
he told a tale that was enough. The Re
corder said he had sentenced the woman
to terms in jail or on the changing until
he had become weary of the task of pro-
nouncing sentence, and that as soon as
she was released, after serving one term
of imprisonment, she filled up on mean
liquor, raised another row and was again
arrested.
Last Sunday Goldie was in Jail and list
ened to Rev. Sam Jones talk to the pris-
oners on that occasion. Those who saw
her then say she was apparently the most
repentant and certainly the noisiest per-
son in the crowd, and the wealth of pro-
family with which she held off those who
wanted her to quit the spot where she
had listened to the evangelist startled and
held in wondering admiration the oldest
inha bitant of the Jail.
Judge Norwood didn't see any use in di-
viding up the womans Imprisonment in
such broken doses and so sentenced her
to spend twelve months on the county
farm. There she will have full opportu-
nifty to put in practice the reform she
claims has come over her life.
Tim Scanlon, the alleged founder of the
newsboys home, who collected quite
sum of money from various charitable
Savannahians for this ostensible purpose,
was sentenced to six months on the gang
for cheating and swindling. Scanlon is
precocious youth of 10 and those who
listened to his story came across readily
with the money for which he asked.
Joe Simmons received a sentence of
nine months on the gang. While engag-
ed in looting the chicken coop of w. P.
Harwell, last April, Simmons was discov-
cred by the owner of the fowls and ar
rested. He escaped from his captor while
he was being brought to the city and
Mr.. Harwel fired at him in the darkness.
The next morning Simmons showed up
at the Georgia Infirmary with load of
bird shot in his neck and shoulder and
was afterwards identified, by the owner
of the chickens, as the man he had
caught stealing them and arrested and
who had afterwards escaped. Simmons
pleaded guilty.
