she was sick my wife and another child

FIRED ON GIRLS ASSAILANT.
Negro, However, Outran Detectives
and Escaped i'm Swamp.


The city detectives are endeavoring to
locate, and arrest, a negro named William
Alexander. who is wanted for committing
a criminal assault upon his wife's grand
child. The crime is alleged to have been
committed last Monday near the Georgia
Car Works and was reported to the po-
lice Thursday.
Alexander has been living on small
farm on the Ogeechec road. and the city
detectives went to his place Thursday.
The negro saw the officers when they
were several hundred yards away, and
dropping his hoe took to his heels He
had been working on his farm and was
evidently expecting the detectives. Of
hcers Stark, Murphy and Wall chased the
negro and several shots were fired at
him without any effect.
Alexander was familiar with the ground
and easily outsprinted the detectives, and
their bullets. He escaped in a neighboring
swamp and the officers were compelled to
abandon the chase and return to the city
AS far as is known Alexander has not
returned to the place and the detectives
have been unable to locate HIM in the
city.

A WISE WOMAN.

Wise Woman When Told Some
thing of Interest, Listens Care
fully, and Then Acts as Her Juds-
ment Dictates.
We tell you that Magnolia Soap"
the Soap that Cleans" is beyond a
doubt, the very best piece of soap on the
market. Best, because it is made of
the best materials; best, because it does
the best work; best, because it gives the
best satisfaction. And then, it is a home
product, made in Savannah, by Savannah
people. If your judgment is clear, you
will give Magnolia Soap a trial, and be
convinced that what we say is so. 1t is
to your interest to do this, because it is
to your interest to get the best value
for your money.
Everybody who uses it says that It i'm
parts that fresh healthy odor to linen,
not given by anyother soap on the mar
ket. They say that it protects clothes
and that clothes washed with it last
longer and are really cleaner than when
other soap is used. There was a demand
for just such soap as Magnolia Soap.
And when the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany put this brand on the market. it
hit the spot"
Magnolia Soap grows and grows.
Everybody knows what it Is. Everybody
uses it.-ad.

terday morning that their services were
no longer required.
There are only two or three non-union
men now working at the shops, and that
there is really no need of as strong
guard as has been maintained The
strikers say that they are satisfied with
the way matters are progressing, and the
railroad officials express themselves in
the same way. The non-union men say
that they expect to have all of those now
working at the shops, out within the
next day or two. The company will prob
ably bring new men to Savannah If this
should turn out to be the case. Mounted
Sergeant McCool relieved Sergt. Fleming
last night, and is now in charge of the
special men.
The union men stated last night that at
present there are only two non-union men
employed at the Seaboard shops, and they
expect to get them to throw down their
tools Tomorrow morning. Both men are
Germans. The strikers say that all they
want is a chance to talk to the men who
work in their stead and that they feel
quite sure the company will be without

MADE TO WALK SIX MILES.
Damage Suit Filed Against Central
by Women Passengers.

Damage suit Filled Against Central
by Women Passengers.
Mary i Boddiford and Estei1e Davis
are suing the Central of Georgia Rail-
way. in separate actions. for 5000 dam
ages In each case. They claim they are
entitled to receive this amount of money
because OF the wrongful and tortious
acts of the compsny's servants and en-
ployes. by reason of which they were sub
jected to hardship. danger and annoyance.
One night last month the plaintiffs. ac-
cording to the statements made in their
petition to the court. boarded the Cen
trail train TO make the trip to Clifton,
flag sation about four miles from the
city, at which poiut the conductor had
promised to stop the train and permit
them to alight. 1t was passed and two
miles in the rear before the train was
stopped and they were Instructed to
aligfft.
1t Was dark and late and they refused
to do as they were told, asking that the
train be moved back to their station.
This the conductor refused to have done
and the two passengers were carried on
to Pooler. ten miles from the city, where
they alighted.
They had to walk back to their homes,
six miles away, through the woods, as
the road and railway track were infested
with tramps and disorderly negroes and
they were afraid to make use of either of
these highways. When they finally
reached their residences it was o'clock
the following morning, and they were
half dead from excitement, WEAKNESS
and fright.
They claim that ell this was the direct
and necessary result of the refusal of
the conductor to carry them back to their
station, after he had violated his con-
tract by carrying them past it in the first
instance. For all the suffering they have
been caused they consider the sum of
$1,000 each not excessive damages, and
this sum they each ask may be awarded
by the court. The plaintiffs are repre-
scented by Messrs. Twiggs & Oliver.
