RUSHING IN TO CONGRESSES.
President Egan Thinks That Is Rea-
SON for Cotton's Delay.

son TOT COttOns Deluy.
President John M. Egan was asked
yesterday if the railroads were respon-
sible for the delay in cotton reaching
Savannah. He replied that he did not
think they were, but that the trouble
was due to the cotton being rushed into
the congresses faster than it could be
handled and shipped away.
The meeting of cotton men to be held
for discussion of the delay and its
causes will doubtless be attended by
railroad men. President Egan said that
he did not doubt that every railroad
entering Savannah would have repre-
sentatves at the meeting.
One cotton broker said that some
thing must be done at once, or mer-
chants of the interior will not ship to
Savannah. Delivery must be guaran-
teed by the merchants, he said, as
ships cannot wait for their cargoes.
With no certainty as to when the
railroads could handle their shipments,
however. the interior merchants do
not feel that they can give a guaran-
tee. With this condition of affairs ex-
listing, the broker said, 1t is clear
enough that the port will miss great
deal of cotton that would be shipped
here were the chances of it reaching
its destination more attractive to the
interior merchants. The broker said
that he did not know whether the de-
lay should be ascribed entirely to the
railroads or entirely to the congresses,
but he was inclined to believe that
the responsibility rested party on

MARTELL NOT AN ANARCHIST.
Was Arrested Here in Front of
Christ Church in June.

Ambrose Martell, under arrest at
NorIolk as an anarchist, mention of
which has been made in the Associat-
ed Press dispatches, was under arrest
in Savannah during the early part of
last June, and spent twenty days in
the county Jail, where he was sent by
Recorder Myrick from Police Court.
The man was convicted of disorderly
conduct and was afterwards ordered to
leave the city.
Martell is said to be from Omaha,
and was at one time quite wealthy.
He turned up in Savannah about the
time that the Seaboard Air Line ma
cninlsts Went on strike, and it was
SAID was brought here by the railroad
10 go into the shops. This afterwards
turned out to be mistake, and it de-
Veioped that the man was mentally
unbalanced. Martell was arrested on a
sunday morning in front of Christ
Church, on Bull street.
He wore a red cap with long horns
ana created considerable excitement
as the congregation was leaving the
church. Martel proclaimed himself to
be the devil and was delivering an ad-
dress of some sort when placed under
arrest by Patrolman Lovett. He was
highly educated man and attracted
some attention by his play upon words
when arraisned in Police Court. 1t
was his conduct towards Recorder My
rick in the police tribunal that caus-
ed him to spend several days in the
county Jail. While serving his SEN
tence he destroyed his cap and gave
the turkeys considerable trouble,
Jailer Arnold Seyden took the man be-
fore Recorder Myrick the second time
and had him ordered out of the city
The prisoner at that time caused some
little commotion in the court room by
his erratic talk.
Martells arrest in Savannah took
place just after the meetings by Evan
gelist Jones had been held in the tab
ernacle, and the man, who
claimed at that time to be
French Canadian, stated that he
had it framed up to go into partner
ship with Mr.. Jones and rule the uni.
verse. He claimed that the better ele.
ment would follow him, and pointed t.
the fact that when he was arrested il
front of the church some of the bes
people in the city followed him, anC
that, too, while he was in the custody
of an officer. The officers here had nj
doubt of the fact that Martell was in.
sane and decided to get rid of him fol
good, after he had served his twenty
days in Jail. Where Martell was from
last June until his arrest in Norfolk
as an irresponsible anarchist is no
known. He will probably be sent tt

Of short stories under the title Weep

IL was an article by Frederic Harri-
son in the Nineteenth Century which
brought the work of Mrs. Woods to a
much larger public in England than 1t
would otherwise have reached. The
editor had asked Mr.. Harrison to write
a short article on any new book he had
lately read which seemed noteworthy,
and Mr.. Harrison selected two by Mrs.
Woods. Besides a poetical play and a
volume OF verse, Mrs. Woods did no
other literary work until about three
years ago, when, her husband having
resigned from the headship of his col
lege, she began what she called two
years of holiday. It was during this
period of rest and holiday enjoyment
that she wrote Sons OF the Sword"

WELL KNOWN MUSICIANS.
To Give Concerts Under Auspices of
Savannah Music Club.

savannah Music Club.
At the meeting of the Savannah Mu-
sic Club Thursday night a suggestion
was made that the club give to its
members. in addition to the usual
privileges, the pleasure of hearing in
concert or recital, one, two or more ar
lists of renowned ability during the
coming season The suggestion after
discussion, was put in the form of a
motion and unanimously carried.
AS the membership has hitherto been
confined almost exclusively to musical
people it has been comparatively linn
tied. Therefore it was thought advisa-
BILE, for the purpose of giving the ar
lists concerts, to enlarge the list of
associate members, thus spreading the
advantage of these concerts among a
less limited circle, as well as increas-
ing the funds necessary for the pro-
ject.
Each associate member is allowed the
privilege of attending all the regular
meetings of the club and bringing a
guest. All members, whether active OF
associate, will be admitted to the pro-
posed artists concerts free of charge,
but will not be allowed to bring guests
except upon the purchase of invita-
tons. the price of which will be fixed
at each concert.
The following committee has been
appointed by the president of the club
to take action in the matter: Miss
Emma Coburn, chairman; Mrs. w. H.
Teasdale, Miss Marion Smart, Mrs. w.
p. Bailey and Miss Rose Putzel.
The object of the club in giving these
concerts is not alone the pleasure to be
derived from them, but also to arouse
a more general interest in music III

will be admitted, and it is believed
that the number will be easily obtain
