TRUNK MYSTERY ExrLonED.
Tragic Theories go Into Thin AiI
when Owner Appears.

Tragic Theories go Into Thin Air
when Owner Appears.
An owner was found yesterday for
the mysterious trunk taken to police
headquarters Friday by a drayman,
who had been hired to transfer it from
the Plant to the Central depot. Some
of the more suspicious officers at head
quarters had begun to believe that the
nicely dressed woman who had deliv-
cred it to the drayman. had intended
it to be carried where it did find its
way.
Some expected that it would finally
be opened and probably the mutilateG
remains of some man would be found,
where other things are usually kept.
All sorts of theories were in the air,
and when a claimant stepped forward
yesterday. several members of the
force expressed considerable surprise.
The trunk is owned by Mrs. John n.
Gnann. In some manner she missed the
drayman at the Central depot. Mrs.
Gnann signed for her property, and
left the amount claimed by the dray-
man for services rendered.

IN POLICE COURT.
Young Man Who Tapped Negro With
Hammer Fined $40.

J. o. Meriwither, the young man
from South Carolina, who could see no
harm in tapping a tattling negro on
the head with a hammer, was fined
$40 or thirty days in Jail, by Recorder
Myrick in Police Court yesterday. The
defendant did not seem to realize that
he was receiving a light punishment,
and apparently thought that he was
being fined for committing an act that
should have been commended. He was
committed to Jail.
Enoch Dukes, the negro crook arrest
ed by Detective Wall for the larceny
of a bicycle lamp from DR.. G.. L. Har-
mon. was remanded for trial in the
City Court.
Nellie Wright alias Scotch Nell had
no excuse to offer when the officer re-
peated an old story of drunkenness.
Nellie was sent to the chain-gang for
thirty days, and was remanded for
trial in the City Court on a charge of
vagrancy. The Recorder has decided
upon a plan in which all confirmed
dIunkards will be committed for
vagrancy in addition to the sentence of
a month at labor.
James Quarterman, colored, was Civ
err twenty days for riding bicycle in

Efforts Being Made to Have Him An
nOunce His Candidacy.

Futile efforts were made yesterday
to have Mr.. w. B. Stubs announce
his position in the campaign for ordin-
airy. To representative of the Morn
ing News the prospective candidate
stated that he was not yet in a posi-
ton to make a statement. The opin-
ion was expressed in many quarters
during the day that Mr.. Stubs will
not be a candidate for the office, and
that he will probably make such an
announcement early this week.
1t is agreed on every side that In
the event of Mr.. Stubs becoming a
candidate he would secure a consider
able number of votes that are now
conceded to Mr.. Walter C. Hartridge.
No one can be found who think that
either man has any chance, If both go
in the field. Mr.. Hartridge is looked
upon as the stronger of the two candi-
dates, and friends of both gentlemen
told Mr.. Stubs so yesterday.
Mr.. Hartridge has already announced
his candidacy. and his supporters say
that he is in the race to stay. The ques-
ton is one that is agitating all of the
candidates and heelers and will proba-
bly, be decided before the meeting of
the Democratic Executive Committee.

BRIDES WERE PLENTIFUL.
August "a Record Breaker in Number
of Marriages.

Last month will go down on the rec
ords of the Court of Ordinary as a rec
ord breaker in weddings. More certif-
Gates were issued, and paid for, than
in any August since Clerk Keilbach
has been keeping tab on those who
play the matrimonial game. In ALI rs
certificates were issued. meaning that
152 men and women joined hands for
life, unless the divorce courts get in
their destructive work.
The number of negroes married was
surprising and fifty-eight licenses were
issued for colored couples alone. Au-
gust is generally one of the hottest
months of the year and IT. is seldom
the case that many twain are bound
together by a marriage ceremony. The
cool weather that Savannahians have
been enjoying this summer is probably
in a measure responsible for the re-
markable increase in weddings.
About the usual number of whites
were married and eighteen certificates
for August, in the white column, is
about the average. The decided in
crease is to be found in the column set
apart for the names of negroes During
August of last year go licenses were
issued by the Ordinary, % for whites

BACK FROM PHILIPPINES.
Joe LOvepstein is Glad 10 he Among
Savannah Friends Again.


Mr.. Joseph S. Lovenstein is back
from the Philippines. The heart of the
Savannah boy is made glad by his re-
turn, for he had enough and to spare
of the antipodes. Not for a year had
anything happened to please him so
much as his discharge from the hos
pital corps of the United States army,
in which he had enlisted.
Mr.. Lovenstein was employed by the
Solomons Company, wholesale drug
gists, before his enlistment. When the
idea that he would like to serve in the
Philippines assailed him, he determined
to join the hospital corps, as he had
experience with drugs and medicines.
Accordingly he did so enlist at Savan-
st. Louis and thence to San Francisco.
sailing from that port on Oct. Is, for
Manila.
The transport touched for few
days at Honolulu, where Mr.. Loven-
stein saw all the sights. The next stop
was at Manila, whence the Savannah
boy was dispatched to Bacoor, Cayite
province, in Southern Luzon, where he
remained during his stay in the Philip
pines. A base hospital was established
there, fourteen miles from Manila. and
MT. LONenSUeln got MS army eApSTlcIlCe
in that institution.
Mr.. Lovenstein was a close observer
and is an interesting talker when he
begins to tell about the things he has
seen and about his experiences. Asked
about a significant fact in the report
of the return of troops from the Phil
ipppines, Mr.. Lovenstein said that the
heavy percentage of insanity among
them is due essentially to indulgence
in the native drinks, which may be had
for a song. Those drinks-vino, tinto
and carabanchel, he said, are terrible
in their effect, as they are comprised
largely of wood alcohol obtained from
bamboo-wood alcohol that is even
more potent for evil than the product
to be found in this country.
Mr.. Lovenstein says he has seen men
converted into raving maniacs by only
four or five drinks of the native liquors,
and straps had to be used to confine
them to their beds, when they were
brought to the hospital In many cases
indulgence in these drinks produces
the permanent insanity that is filling
so many transports with a large per-
centage of soldiers who have lost their
reason in the Philippines.

The negro celebrated his freedom by

in Police Court tomorrow. Delaney
was sent to the changing for working
