BE Mayoralty Candidates in 1902.
The minds of the politicians are never
at ease and now that the election of city
officers is over they are making predic-
lions for two years hence. These proph-
cts are of the opinion that the next
municipal battle will be a warm one and
that the contestants will be Aldermen
James NJ Dixon and George w. Tiede-
man They say that all signs point in that
direction and that the two wings in the
administration party will at that time be
independent.
The sages declare that Alderman Tiede-
man will be a candidate in 1902 and for
that reason declined reelection on the
aldermanic board. 1t is also surmised that
he did not care to be burdened in his
fight by any mistakes the administration
might make while he was an alderman.
That the administration faction, as it was
last week. will hold together for any
length of time is not expected by the
most sanguine of its supporters. There
are not few who say that before the
retirement of Mayor Myers the two fac
tons held together by him will have form
ed two new and distinct parties.
The new officers elected have begun
their work, with the exception of Record
err Myrick, who wiz preside in police
court for the first time this morning City
Marshal Dreeson took charge of his Of

hereafter conduct the city's public sales.

CONFESSED KILLING MOORE.
johnson Also Admits That He Has
Three Wives.

Sheriff NJ A. White of Saluda county,
South Carolina, is expected in Savannah
this morning for George Johnson. alias
Henry Lindsay, the negro arrested last
week by Detectives Murphy and Wall, on
a charge of murder johnson no longer
endeavors TO conceal his identity, and yes
terday told his story of the homicide,
which caused his arrest, to representa-
tive Of the Morning News.
The negro said he shot Tank Moore one
Sunday night in April, 1895, and came to
Savannah almost Immediately afterward.
He said that Moore had been on intimate
terms with his wife, and that only few
months before the homicide had shot him
in the left side about the woman. john
son showed the scars made by the shot
in his side and erm. He declared that
when he recovered he made up with the
other negro, who promised TO leave his
wife alone.
Johnson said that he was running a
truck farm, and needed his wife 10 help
him gather his crops. The Sunday night
the tragedy took place, he missed his
wife and went to her fathers house
thinking she might have gone to visit
MN. She was not there and Johnson
and his father-in-law went to Moore's
house. johnson went in and found his
wife seated on Moore's lap. When she
saw him and her father she ran from the
house Johnson said he then made up
his mind to let the woman go, and was
returning home to pack up her clothing,
when he passed the church where the
killing took place. He was accosted by
Moore, who threatened him even after
ne had said that he no longer cared VINO
went with his wife and that he did not
intend to live with her any longer.
Johnson said Moore pulled a revolver
and snapped it three times in an effort to
XIII him. Then the prisoner said he pull
ed his own weapon and fired two shots
Johnson said he was closely pursued but
managed to escape without knowing If
either of the bullets had struck Moore
johnson admitted that the two women,
VINO claimed 10 be his wives. were really
welded to him, making in all three wo-
men that he admits he is married to- The
negro said he married one of the women
In Beaufort shortly after the homicide,
and later he married the other in Savan-
nan. The negro does not appear to real
ize that he has been guilty of any crime
by taking 10 himself three wives. He
says he has no fear of the outcome of the
trlal for murder, and stated his intention
OF returning to his wives in Savannah aft
er his trial.

CLEARINGS BIG INCREASE.
what IL Responsible for ssvannah's
Remarkable Showing.

Remarkable showing.
The remarkable showing in the increase
of savannah's bank clearances for 1900
over 1899 was the constant subject of
discussion among the cold men of the
city yesterday. Even those who are not
yet very solid. but who hope to be some
day rejoiced in the thought that their
lines had been cast in place where such
such business showing could be made.
That in a single year the bank clear
ings. indicating the degree of the chys
growth and prosperity with unerring GER
tainty, should have jumped from $1sS,-
GA, in 1899, to $246 SlS, $50, in 1900, the
city from twenty-ffth to twenty second
place in the list of American cities, pass
ing many of greater population on the
way, with a percentage of increase of IT'S
per cent, is remarkable indeed and COM
forting to the civic pride Of every loyal
son of Savannah.
The marked advance In the price OF ev-
cry staple product that is handled in Sa-
vannah is the primary cause of the re-
markabe increase in the clearances.
were all commanding good prices and the
markets were steady at almost all times.
Much money was needed and spent to
handle the large cargoes of these staples
that left the port of Savannah for foreign
and northern cities and this money went
to swell the bank clearanoes.
Again business was good in almost ev-
cry line, the wholesale houses it is said.
enjoying an especially prosperous and
successful year. These make up the
prime causes.
A secondary upward impulse was given
by the activity of the stock market
When business was depressed and the
financial tone of the country was shaky
and uncertain, the ordinary speculator
kept his money, IL he had any ia his
pocket, and his hands off from securities
whose value was always doubtful with
renewed prosperity came new confidence
in the value of securities railroads began
to pay dividends and other large bust
ness enterprises to look up and promise
profits The speculator saw there were
chances of making money and he invest
ed in those securities which his judgment
told him were likely to rise. Sometimes
his Judgment was wrong. but the money
he spent helped to swell the amount of
the bank eiearances of Savannah.
Other causes have helped There were
more large sales of real estate in Savan-
nah last year than there had been for
several years that had preceded it, and
this property brought good money. The
money passed through the banks.
From every standpoint the showing that
Savannah has made surpasses that of any
other city in the country, and affords an
opportunity for oongratulation of which
the business men took advantage.

"A careful study of this table reveals
three important facts:
First In no grade above the second
is the number on the waiting list sufIi-
ciently great to warrant the organization
of new class. The few waiting for
these grades will soon be absorbed bv
gradual admission as vacancies occur
Second. In the first and second grades
the number waiting is sufficiently large
for new classes
Third. The majority of these live
south of Bolton street
THE problem. therefore, seems to be
reduced to the consideration of what is
best to be done with those children wait
ins for the first and second grades.
Il have made a complete analysis of
the situation it affects every child i'm
these two grades living south of Bolton
street and the results are exhibited by
the accompanying maps. From these
maps II will be seen that there are a num-
Der Of waiting children grouped around
Henry Street School, and a large num-
Der now already in Henry and Ander-
son Street Schools, grouped around the
new Thirty-eghth Street School A
proper solution of the problem seems to
be clearly indicated. A sufficient num-
Der of children now irS Anderson
and Henry and living near the
new school should be transferred to the
new school to allow the admission Of those
waiting who live near these two schools.
With the children thus withdrawn from
Henry and Anderson. and those now wait
ing near the new school two first grades
and one second grade could be organized
at the new school to the advantage and
satisfaction of all concerned. An actual
count and considera ion of every individ-
uaI pupil, both in school and on the wait
ing list, enables me to make the following
estimates:

TREATED HER CRUELTY.
John r. Shaw Fired His Revolver in
His Wife's Presence.


Mrs. Chollye G.. Shaw filed a suit for
total divorce against her husband, John
p. Shaw, in the Superior Court yesterday
morning. The petition shows that the
parties were married in 1891, and that the
defendant wilfully and causelessly de-
serted the plaintiff in October, 1899.
After the marriage and before the sep
aration, the plaintiff recites in her petb-
ton that she performed an the duties
and obligations of a wife. until the cruel
treatment, desertion, habits and habitual
intoxication of her said husband made
life with him uncomfortable and her person
al safety insecure"
The petition alleges that for number
of years previous TO his final desertion of
his wife, the defendant was an habitual
drunkard, and that when he had looked
too long upon the cup that cheers he was
an exceedingly dangerous person to have
about the house. He was wont to curse
and revile his wife, to fire his revolver
in the house, and in her presence, and to
threaten to take her life. To add to the
total Of his enormities. he finally deserted
the plaintiff, leaving her without means
of support, and in a distressingly desti-
tute condition. On all of these grounds
the grant of a total divorce is asked OF
the court
The plaintiff recites that her husband is
not resident of Georgia. but that she
does not know just where he lives UI,-
der this showing and the return by the
sheriff that the defendant was not to be
found, an order for the service of process
by publication was granted.

TOLD HIS LOVE STORY.



tucklan Went Crazy.
1t appears now that the name of the
young man who attempted to take the
life of young woman at No. $50 Will
liam street, is Samuel r. Cook, and that
he is from Kentucky. At yesterday
mornings session of police court the pris-
oner was held by Recorder Hartridge I'M
til a warrant for lunacy could be issued.
Later in the day Cook expressed a desire
for an early hearing. There appears to
be no doubt of his affiiction, but his case
is not considered hopeless by any means.
Cook says ne was born and raised in
GTeenup county, Ketucky, and that until
he came to Savannah. ten years ago. he
was a coal miner. At the Central Rail
road wharf he was employed to Assist
in the running of an electric engine. He
fell desperately in love with the young
woman whose life he attempted and
when another boarder in che house seemed
to be her favorite he lost all control of
himself. He said that he has no recol-
lection of looking for the young woman
with knife Friday night on Broughton
street, but remembers perfectly well dry
ing to break into her room Sunday morn
ing and of his arrest by the police for
smashing an electric light globe on Will
Ham street.
For awhile Cook was rational enough, to
all appearances. but later his mind wan
dered and he declared that he did not
know why he had been incarcerated
When told that he was charged with
lunaey he said 1t was true the girl had
driven him crazy, but that he would try
and forget his love for her and that with

rams class his identity should not be in
sisted upon. The sporting man says that
the fight is to be on the square, with no
fouling or other disagreeabie features and
that all he wants is for Corcoran to sign
up the articles of agreement.
