LIVED TO RIPE OLD AGE.
james White, Born in Ireland, in
1905, Died Yesterday.

1SOS, Died Yesterday.
Mr.. James White, one of the oldest
citizens of Savannah, died at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at st. 'Joseph's In
Urinary, after a brief Illness. His death
resulted from no organic or other dis
ease; it came naturally, as the vital
organs, worn out i'm the long struggle
with the grim destroyer, ceased to per-
form their functions.
Mr.. White was born in the County
Roscommon. Ireland, i'm 1903. and was 95
years old. In his early youth he remov-
ed to this country, and i'm 1887 came to
Savannah, of which city he has ever
snce been a resident During the Civil
War Mr.. White served in one of the
commands organized for the local de-
Tense OF the city. being even then more
than 81 years old, and above the age OF
enlistment for active service.
Before and after the war he was con-
nected with several Savannah banks, in
minor capacities, giving always loyal
and devoted and perfectly satisfactory
service. In his sphere in life, say those
who have known him for years, there
was no better man or better citizen.
Mr. White retained his interest in poll
tics to the last and always kept hims IL
registered and qualified to vote. Only
last November he marched up TO the bal
lot box and deposited his ballot for Bryan
and Stevenson
Mr. White left no children and his wife
died number of years ago. He had no
close relatives in this section but leaves
several nephews and nieces in New York
and Indiana. He made his home with
Mrs. Ellen +. Jachens, niece of MS
deceased wife, from whose residence cor
ner Lincoln and Congress streets, he will
be buried at O'Clock this afternoon.

MARSHALL on Feb. 4.
Judge Emory Speer will deliver an ad-
dress upon the life and services of John
Marshall, the third and the greatest
chief justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, on Feb. 4 That is the
centennial anniversary of the accession
of Chief Justice Marshall to the bench
of the Supreme Court, and it will be

try.
An invitation to deliver such an ad-
dress, signed by the judges of the state
courts in Savannah and a number of the
more prominent members of the bar,
was presented to Judge Speer yesterday.
and to-day probably, he will return an
affirmative reply.
Judge Speer had expected 20 adjourn
the Circuit and District Courts of the
United States, in honor of Justice Mar
shalPs memory and services to Ameri-
can Jurisprudence, at any rate, and 1t Is
expected that his address will be deliV-
cred in the United States Court room.
1t is certain that the address will be one
of value and rare interest. Besides his &C
knowledged ability as an orator. Judge
Speer will bring to its preparation wide
acquaintance with the personality, ac-
complishments and achievements of JUS
tice Marshall and a thorough apprecia-
ton of that distinguished mans distin-
guished services to his country. He is
in entire sympathy with his subject, and
his treatment will be worthy of it.

TO PUT UP STREET SIGNS.
Whole City VIII De So Marked Be
fore the Close of the Year.


fore the Close of the Year.
Street signs at street intersections will
be up throughout the city before the
close of the year Director of Public
Works George NJ. Gadsden is to begin
putting up the signs as soon as possible.
The regular labor of his department will
be employed for the work. and the ex-
pense, therefore, will be confined to the
signs, which cost 80 cents each. AS there
are four signs to each street intersection,
the cost for each will be s1.28.
The signs will first be put up in the
southern section. Those required for
that section are already on hand. It
will be necessary to erect posts at street
intersections for many of the signs, as it
is frequently the case that no buildings
or fences stand upon the corners. The
section to be marked with the signs is
Forty-second and East Broad and West
Broad streets. The signs will bear no
more than the name of the street, the
st" being omitted
Only that section of the city included
between Bay and CASTOR and Whitaker
and Drayton is now marked with the
blue signs 1t is intended, however, to
take UP all intermedite sections and ex-
tend these limits to Park avenue on the
South and to East Broad and West Broad
streets. This work will be taken up after
the completion of that in the southern
section, but the Director of Public Works
expects to have the entire city marked
with street signs before the year is out.
The signs will be placed upon the south
east and northwest corners of intersec-

WANTED HIS NOTES BACK.
Charles Brickman Did Not Like
Them Out of His Hands.

Them Out of His Hands.
An action of trover, for the recovery of
ten promissory notes, of about $50 in
face value, was tried yesterday in the
Superior Court. The suit was not for
the payment of the notes, but for the
pieces of paper upon which they were
printed.
The plaintiff was the man who had ex-
ecuted them. 1t appeared that he had
signed the notes in part payment for
the purchase of a piece of city proper
ty, but that the sale had not been con-
summated the deed not executed and
ALL the negotiations were now at an
end. The defendant had the notes in
his possession and he refused to return
them to the plaintiff
That he had the notes and that he re-
fused to return them the defendant did
not deny. He said, however, that the
defendant had broken off the deal for the
sale of the land without any reason,
and subjected him to much inconven-
fence. Furthermore, the action of trover
for the possession of the notes was vex-
atious and unnecessary and defendant
thought he ought to have his attorney S
fees paid. He figured out in all an in
debtedness of $95, which he said the
plaintiff owed him.
The jury could not see the matter in
this light, for they found this lucid and
emphatic verdict: 1--WE, the jury, find for
the plaintiff and that he gets his notes. y
