WOMAN TOOK THE BLAME.
Said She Had Fired the shots at
Tom Jones, Her Husband.

Solomon Haywood, very colored, was
tried in the Superior Court yesterday
for assault with intent to murder Tom
Jones. The jury did not believe the
story that Jones told on the stand and
returned a verdict of not guilty very
shortly after leaving the court room.
According to Jones, the defendant
had been very fiend in human shape,
for he had broken up the witness
home, destroyed the happiness of his
married life, stolen his wife and then,
when he had tried to make a mild and
gentle remonstrance, attempted to kill
him with a pistol.
The woman in the case, however, the
wife of the prosecuting witness, denied
the story from start to finish and then
back again. She said that the truth
of the matter was that Jones had driv-
en- her away from him by his cruelty
and that on the night in question had
tried to break open the door of the
house in which she was living. In fear
of her life she had taken a shot at
him herself. She said that Haywood
was not in the house at the time, did
not fire the shot, had not stolen her
affections and had done her undutiful
husband absolutely no wrong what
ever.
On this showing there was nothing
for the jury to do but acquit the de-
PENDANT. and this II did very promptly.
He was given his liberty

OUT FOR MORE MONEY
COMMITTEE WILL GET AMONG BUS
MESS MEN TODAY.
TO HELP THE STATE FAIR.
THAT Is THE MOTIVE THAT Is
DRIVING THE COMMITTEE.

Mr.. b. III. Levy, Mr.. j. w. jackson
and Mr.. c. II. Dorset VIII Solicit
Subscriptions From Those Who
Have Not Been Approached on Be-
half of the Fair Associaiton-The
Gentlemen Are SanEuine of Sue
cess-on Their List Are Many BUS
mess Houses That, They Believe,
Would Certainly Have Subscribed,
Had Their subscriptions Ever
Been Sought.
This morning a committee of direc-
tors of the Savannah Fair Associa-
subscriptions to its stock. They will
endeavor to see all who have not sub
scribed and whom they think will or
could help out the enterprise in which
Savannah is interested.
Mr.. b. II. Levy. Mr.. ]. w. Jackson
and Mr.. c. H. Dorset will constitute
the committee. They will work for
an hour beginning at 10 O'Clock, and
each member of the committee is san
guine of success. 1t is thought there
are many who have not yet subscribed
to stock in the Fair who will gladly
do so when properly approached.
A meeting was held yesterday at II
o'clock at the Office of President George
w. Owens of the Fair Association. The
chairman of committees that had So
licited subscriptions for the State Fair
soon after the movement was inaugu-
rated were invited to be present. Those
who attended the meeting were Mr.. A.
B. Moore. Mr.. B. H. Levy, Mr.. j. w.
Jackson and Mr.. ]. T. Shuptrine.
Lists of subscribers were produced.
Comparisons were made with the city
directory's list of those along certain
streets-notably Bay. and it was found
that many of the leading business men
on the Bay had never been asked to
subscribe to the stock of the Fair AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. Levy exhibited list of
those who had not been called upon af-
ter the meeting, and it contained the
names of many houses and individual
business men, who, it is thought, would
subscribe willingly enough.
Mr.. Levy said that he did not antici-
pate any difficulty in inducing many to
subscribe. He considers that the en-
terprise in which the Fair Association
is engaged is of such a public and
beneficent character as to commend it
self to every citizen who has the well
fare of Savannah at heart.
Mr.. Jackson said that the association
simply has to have more money. Now
is the time, he considers, for those who
have not subscribed to do so. From
somewhere the money to give a brill
liant and successful Fair has got to
come. 1t Is like. the case of the old
darkey digging for the gopher, Mr.
Jackson said. mo meat in the house
and the preacher coming to dinner"
Energetic men are on the soliciting
committee, and there is every reason
to believe that they. If anyone could.
will be successful. They will not con-
fine their labors to to-day only, but will
work until the city has been thoroughly
canvassed.

SLICED WITH A KNIFE.
Anna Pinckney's Complaint Against
ID. VI. Wallace Tried.

I
ID. VI. Wallace Tried.
d. M. Wallace, young white man,
was tried in the Superior Court yester-
day for assault with intent to murder.
He was charged with attempting to kill
Anna Pinckney, a negro woman, with
knife, and the evidence showed that
he had carved her up considerably.
The carving was done at the corner
of Congress and West Broad streets.
on the night of April q, at about 10
O'Clock. Wallace was walking along
the street with three or four com
panions, when, accidentally or purpose
ly. he brushed into this negro woman
There was an exchange of epithets
which rapidly developed into a first
class row. Wallace and the woman
came together and went to the ground
and when Detective Murphy. who saw
a part of the scrap from across the
street, reached the combatants and
pulled them apart. the woman rose to
her feet with a four-inch cut in the
back of her neck
The detective said on the stand yes
terday that despite the cut, the woman
was proving herself the better man.
and that 1t would have gone hard with
wallace II the fight had not been stop

that the woman had both abused and
struck him before he did thing.

TO PROMOTE TRADE.
Organization of the Merchants May
BE Made Permanent.

BE Made Permanent.
The Savannah wholesale merchants
interested in the plan to promote the
city's trade and the attendance upon
the State Fair to be held here next fall
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of a
permanent organization. This was dis
cussed at the meeting held yesterday
afternoon in the Office of Messrs. Jos.
Rosenheim & Sons, and it then SEEM
ed apparent that it was the sentiment
of the merchants to have a standing
association.
AS has been set forth by the Morn
ing News. the plan is, briefly, to induce
merchants from other places and from
the country to visit Savannah to pro-
cure goods. In order to get such mer-
chants to come to this city to trade, the
wholesale merchants will agree to re-
fund the railroad fare of anyone who
may purchase goods to the amount of
5000 or more from any of those associ-
ated in the organization.
The following attended the meeting,
which was presided over by Mr.. Krous-
koff:
II. Rosenheim, of Joseph Rosenheim
& Son. S. Krouskoff, w. l.. Grayson,
of Collins, Grayson & Co.; S. Mohr,
of Mohr Bros; Henry Solomon, of II.
Solomon & Sons: A. Vetsburg, of
Eckman & Vetsburg; NJ. H. Schaul, of
Meinhard. Schaul & Co.; H. II. Pee
pies, of II. II. Peoples & Co.; Leo
Frank, Max Solomons, w. d. Kren-
son, of j. d. Weed & Co.; l.. +.
Grause, of /. Epstein e. Bro, and L.
G. Schwarzbaum, of Gustave Eckstein
g. Co.
After considerable discussion, it was
agreed to leave the settlement of all
details of organization to a committee,
TO be appointed by Mr. Krouskoff and
of which he will be the chairman. This
committee will probably report upon
bylaws for the government of the or.
ganization to be formed, and 1t is not
improbable that it will be agreed to
charter the association.
The list of those who attended the
meeting does not nearly represent all
who are interested. A number of
wholesalers telephoned Mr.. Herman
Rosenheim or assured him personally
of their interest and their determina-
ton to stand by whatever action the
meeting might take They regretted
their inability to attend.
Some of the retail merchants have
expressed a desire TO enter the prospec-
tive organization. and IL seems proba-
bic that they will be permitted to do
so. The question was discussed and
the sentiment In favor of admitting thu
retail merchants, after the formation
OF an association by the wholesalers.
seemed strong.
When the idea OF bringing mer-
chants TO Savannah through payment
OF their railroad fare was first talked
OF. II was proposed to confne the work
of the prospective association OF whole
sale merchants TO the nprfod during
which the State Fair Is 10 be held, as
II was considered that the Fair and
the wholesalers could both be bene-
fitted. 10 is now thought. however.
that II would be a wise plan TO have
a permanent organization. In order
that ~ might be agreed from time TO
time 10 name certain periods during
which merchants from other places
might visit savannah, buy goods from
the merchants associated together 10
the extent of $500 and have their rail-
road fare refunded.

CARNEGIE ON LIBRARIES.
Views lie Expresses in His FOur-in-
Hand I'm britain.

Hand In britain.
No word has ever come from Andrew
Carnegie concerning the library That
he offered TO donate to Savannah. The
multi-millionaire is still in Europe. AMI
1t is thought that. upoa his return, he
will answer favorably the communica-
ton that was sent by Savannah TO his
New York address last spring.
Mr.. Carengie's views upon the CUES
ton of public library may be gather
ed from the following passage that is
found in his work, AN American -Four
in Hand in Britain" in which, after a
description of a certain library, he
says:
This city levies one penny per pound
upon the rates. as authorized by the
libraries act. This nets about $4,000
per annum. Just see what powerful
agencies for improvement of the people
can be set on foot for "A trifling sum.
And do not fail to note that this libra
ry, like all others in Britain organized
under the libraries act. does not pau
perize people. 1t is no mans library.
but the library of the people, their own,
maintained and paid for by public tax
alton to which all contribute. An en-
lowed library is just like an endowed
church, at best half and generally
wholly asleep. II is a great mistake
TO withdraw from such an institution
the healthy breeze of public criticism:
besides this, people never appreciate
what is wholly given to them so highly
as that which they themselves contri :
butte"
Mr. Carnegle's book was published
more than fifteen years ago, and IL
may be seen from the excerpt that the
germ of his library giving mood was
even then busy in his mind.

FIRED FOR CAUSE
CONDUCTORS AND MOTORMEN HAVE
NO RIGHTFUL KICK.
DIRECTORS so DECIDED.
GENERAL MANAGER MCINTYRE SUS-
tanned BIZ BOARD.

Investigation at n Special Meeting
in which 1t Was Decided That
the Discharge of Men Was
Not Only Warranted, but Demand
ed for the Good of the Service.
President George Parsons and Di-
rector Weed the Only Officers Abb
sent-Neither Vice President
Would Discuss the Subject Further
but Mr.. McIntire Talked-Ready
and Glad to Hear All Grievances,
which VIII Receive Careful Com
siderattOn--DirectO Collins Did
Not Care to Talk About the Meet
ing or Its Result.
General Manager Lucian H. McIn-
tire was sustained in his differences
with the carline employees by the
board of directors of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway
Company yesterday. The special
meeting was a lengthy one, and with
the exception of President George Par
sons, and Director J. d. Weed, all of
the board was present.
The meeting was attended by First
Vice President j. H. Fall, Second Vice
President Henry Parsons, Directors j.
H. Johnston, E. J. Thomas, C. S.
Hardee, George c. Freeman, Albert
Wylly, Jacob Paulsen and Jacob S.
Collins. The question of the recent dis
charge of a number of employees was
taken up, and after investigating the
matter the board held that the dis
charges were for good and sufficient
cause; that they were not only war
ranted, but were necessary for the
good of the service.
Vice Presidents Fall and Parsons
were seen by a representative of the
Morning News after the meeting, but
declined to discuss the subject any
further. The meeting had resulted in
the board sustaining Mr.. McIntire, and
there was nothing further for them to
say.
General Manager McIntire said that
he knows of no complaint from any of
the employees of the company, and that
if any of them has any grievances he
will be glad to have them come to him,
and anything they may have to say
will receive careful consideration.
Director J. S. Collins, who has taken
an active interest in the trouble, and
who secured the presence of the Off
Gals in the city at this time, did not
care to discuss the action of the board,
when seen by a representative of the
Morning News. He would not talksof
the matter, or say what had happened
at the meeting. He considered that
the result of the investigation should
be made known by Mr.. Fall.
During the afternoon a committee
from the conductors and motormen,
who We're discharged, called on Direc-
tor Collins, at his office. to learn what
had happened. He was not in a posi-
ton to tell the committee anything,
and was unwilling to say what had
transpired during the conference with
the discharged men.
At the meeting the officers of the
company were directed to take up, at
once, the question of buying several
new closed cars. The cars will be a
size larger than any now in use, and
are to be ordered early, so that they
will be here in time for the winter sea-
son. Five more of the large open cars
have been shipped, and are expected
by Mr.. McIntire within the next ten

EDWARD MORAN DEAD.
Popular Young Man Succumbed 10
Attack of Brain Fever.

Popular Young Man Succumbed to
Attack of Brain Fever.
Edward Moran died last night at
1870 o'clock at ST. Joseph's Infirmary.
This announcement will be sad news
to host of friends Buck" Moran
leaves in Savannah. Few boys were
more popular. and it will be long be-
fore his associates cease to miss a
personality that was of a charm that
never failed to interest or amuse.
Mr.. Moran was the eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. I. e. Moran. He was a
nephew of Mr.. and Mrs. P. !. O'Con-
nor, and a grandson of Mr.. James Nc
Grath. Announcement of the funeral
has not yet been made, but it is prob
able that it win take place tomorrow
afternoon.
But q years of age. Edward Moran
had just entered upon his manhood 5
estate. A pathetic feature of his ILL
ness and a sad circumstance of his
death were shown in the devoted at
tention of an attractive girl, to whom
report has it that he was engaged. His
fiancee never tired in the vigil she
kept at the bedside of the young man,
and II was only just before the end
that relatives prevailed upon her TO
leave him.
Mr.. Moran was employed by the
Chatham Bank. He was a member
Of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, and
his popularity in the command was
great. The company will attend the
funeral and will accord military
honors.
Death came after but a brief illness.
Last Wednesday the young man was
taken to the infirmary, where brain
fever at once developed. For some
days prior to that he had suffered
from malarial fever.

FOR whitaker PAVING.
Petition of Property Owners Has
Been Filed.

The petition of Whitaker street prop
erty owners for a vitrified brick pave
ment on that street was fled yesterday
with the clerk of Council. 1t will be
submitted at the meeting of that body
this afternoon. The petition will be re-
ferred to a committee, taking the usual
course, and il remains to be seen what
consideration it will be given by Coun-
Gil The following is the petition and
its signers:
ITO the Honorable, the Mayor and AL
dermen of the City of Savannah, Sa-
vannah. Ga.-Gentlemen: The under
signed owners of property abutting on
Whitaker street respectfully ask that
said street be paved with vitrified brick

Several aldermen were asked
yesterday for their views upon
the question, but they did
not feel like giving them for pub
LEGATION just at that time. They SEEM
ed to wish to wait until the matter had
been brought before Council. 1t was
gathered. however, that there was a
well-defined feeling that the city's
finances would not justify the work
being done at this time.
To this argument one of the alder
men answered that he thought the con-
dtion of the treasury would thorough
~ warrant the repaving of Whitaker
street, and that the work should be
done. If the city's finances, however,
would not warrant the work being done
this year, the alderman said. there is
certainly no reason why the necessary
money should not be borrowed from one
of the banks, to be paid next year. To
pave Whitaker street this year, the
alderman argued, would but be to do
the work that is needed and would
have to be done next year. Paving it
this year would but diminish to that
extent the amount of paving to be done
next year.
