DIR. PIERcE,s REMEDIEI

Rut when the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition are diseased,
the nntritive properties are not extracted
from food, the blood becomes poor, the
BODY lacks adequate nOuIish1ent and
the flesh Walls away" The weakness
consequent on this loss of nutrition will
generally find its expression In some one
organ which has been longest starved.
Thus as starvation causes weakness,
when the nutrition falls short OF the

expression of that weakness in some one
or9an-lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, or

J. NJ. Denmark Must Pay $3.50 and

There was another conviction for
Sunday liquor selling. or rather for
keeping open a tipping house on Sun
day in the Superior Court yesterday.
The luckless defendant was ]. M. Den
mark, and he was sentenced to pay a
fine of $3.50 and costs, or served six
months in jail.
The evidence for the. state did not
have any doubt upon the minds of the
jury of the guilt of the accused. Three
witnesses testified that on Sunday,
June 9, they had knocked at the door
of Denmark's place in Yamacraw and
had been promptly admitted. They had
been conducted through the house to
the bar and there, had bought all the
drinks they wanted. They gave this
evidence in straightforward and con-
vincing manner, and the jury believed
it and found the defendant guilty.
Judge Falligant imposed the sentence
he has been imposing in these cases, a
fine of $3.50 and costs, or six months in
Jail. Mr.. w. F. Slater, who represent
ed the defendant. filed at once a mo-

PARADE OF OGLETHoRPEs.
Company VIII lie Entertained nj
Armory After Mondays Event.

The annual parade of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry. in conmemoration of
the First Battle of Manassas, will take
place next Monday afternoon. All
members of the company will be es-
pecially summoned to appear, and it
is expected that but very few, if any,
will be missing from ranks. The day
is the day of all days with the corn-
pany. The record of the command as
1t has been handed down from the Civil
War is a glorious one, and the pres
ent-day members show a fitting pride
in the deeds that made the Oglethorpes
famous in the old days.
There has been talk of a trip to Ty-
bee for supper and a dance after the
parade, but this was given over yes
terday, after Capt. David c. Barrow
ascertained the views of the members
as to whether all cared to unite for
the outing. 1t seemed to be the YER
diet that an enjoyable time could be
had at the Regimental Armory after
the parade. The company will then
be the guests of Lieut.. James Butner
and Lieut.. Branch LaFar.

BARNES SENTENCE STANDS.
Supreme Court UphOlds the Decision
of Judge FaIIigant.

OF Judge FalttRnnts
The Supreme Court has refused a
new trial in the case of Sylmon Barnes,
found guilty in the Superior Court of
the murder OF John Wollander and
sentenced by Judge Falligant to life
term in the penitentiary. The decision
of Judge Falligant. overruling the mo-
ton for a new trial, is affirmed.
Wollander was seaman aboard an
English steamer in Savannah last fall,
who started out one night, with a party
of friends from his vessel, to see the
sights of Yamacraw. They were taken
in charge by Barnes and guided to a
number of disreputable resorts in that
section of the city.
In one of these a quarrel arose be-
tween Wollander and Barnes, who is a
negro, as to the amount of compensa-
ton for his services the latter should
receive, and Barnes drew a revolver.
Wollander grappled with the negro and
the two men struggled out through the
open door into the street. A few sec
onds afterwards a shot rang out and
Wollander's companions, rushing into
the street, found him lying on the
ground. with bullet wound in his
body. He was carried 60 the hospital
and died the following day.
Barnes was arrested the same night
and subsequently was tried and con-
victed and sentenced to imprisonment
in the penitentiay for life. A motion
for new trial was made and argued
earnestly and ably in the Supreme
Court by Crl. Geooge T. Cam, who
represented Barnes. A special dis
patch from Atlanta to the Morning
News states that the motion for new
trial has been overruled and the judg-
ment OF the Superior Court affirmed.
The decision was handed down yester-

LAST VICTIM RECOVERED.
Body of Idn I<rOnstadt Found on
Bloody Point Beach.


The remains of ten-year-old Ida
Kroustadt have been recovered, and the
last victim of Sundays fatal outing at
Daufuskie will be brought to the city
this morning for burial. The body was
found on Bloody Point beach, near
where the drowning occurred.
Four days in the water in this sultry
weather could have had but one effect
and the funeral will take place this
morning at as early hour as is prac-
ticable. The members of the H. G.. H.
who have been searching day and night
for the bodies of those who were lost
will return to the city this morning. 1t
was not believed last night that they
knew of the recovery of the sixth and
last body and a messenger was sent to
Daufuskie to notify them.
The information that the younger
Kronstadt child had been found was
first received from Tybee, through Po-
lice headquarters. Later Undertaken
Henderson was notified of the recovery
of the body and was told that it can
be expected at the Market dock about
o'clock this morning. 1t will be
taken directly to Laurel Grove Gene
terry and will be laid beside the elder
sister.
-Four of those drowned were found on
Bloody Point beach, and that part of
the South Carolina coast remains true
to its name. Leah Silverstein, Annie
Horovftz and Isaac Sachs were all re-
covered at that point. The remains of
Annie Kronstadt were found on Hilton
Head beach, and the body of Mrs. Abe
Dickstein was recovered where she
went down Sunday afternoon. With
the exception of Mrs. Dickstein the
bodies were all inferred in the same
lot in the Hebrew portion of Laurel
Grove.

MRS. RANDOLPH ARSON DEAD.
Her Funeral From Independent
Presbyterian Church This After


noon.
Mrs Ella Law Arson, wife of Mr..
Randolph Arson. died at the family
residence at Hall and Barnard streets,
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning. Her
funeral will take place from the INDIE
pendent PRESBYTERIAN Church, of which
she had long been a devoted and con-
sistent member, at 4:3O o'clock this af-
ternoon.
The services will be conducted by
Rev. Dr. James Y. Fair, pastor of the
church, both at the church and at the
grave in Bonaventure Cemetery. where
the interment will take place.
Mrs. Axson's death can scarce be said
to have been unexpected. Since last
summer, when she was seriously i'll for
some time, she has been in delicate and
constantly falling health, and her
strength has passed from her with each
succeeding day. The end came peace
fully.
Mrs. Arson was the daughter of the
late Hon. William Law, for a number
of years judge of the Superior Court
for this circuit, and one of the most
prominent and successful lawyers at
the bar of the state. She married Mr.
Arson in 1867, and besides her hus-
band, five children, three daughters
and two sons, survive her.
She was a woman whose kindly and
tender benevolence lightened the bur-
dens of many sorrowing hearts, and
whose charity and forbearance won
her the love and affection, not only OF
her friends, but of very large number
of persons in humber walks of life,
to whom she was often and indeed a
very angel of mercy and light.

MAY BE ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
MIR. II. +. johnson Being Groomed
for the Race for Ordinary.

There was another development in
the race for ordinary yester-
day. 1t was freely rumored
on the streets that Mr.. T. F..
Johnson was seriously considering
making the race and that he had been
in consultation with a number of his
friends in reference to the matter.
When asked If this rumor correctly
stated his intentions Mr.. Johnson re-
fused to discuss it, but he did not deny
II. While it does not seem that he
has as yet actually entered the race,
there is every reason to believe he has
the matter under advisement and
there is a strong probability at least
that he will be among the entries, when
the candidates line up for the final
heat.
One of Mr.. Johnson's friends stated
that he regarded 1t as exceedingly
probable that he would be
a candidate. He said that If
Mr.. Johnson ran it would be on an in
dependent platform, of course, as his
previous affiliation with the Republic
can party would prevent his running
on any other. He thought 1t likely
that in the event he was in the race,
Mr.. Johnson would secure practically
the entire colOred vote, amounting to
700 or 500, and a very large vote in
addition from his friends among the
people of Savannah. 1t would be the
first time in many years that the Re-
publicans of the city and county would
have an opportunity to support one OF
their number for a local Office and this
friend of Mr.. johnson believed they
would lump at the chance.
other than the rumor of Mr.. john
sons candidacy. there were no further
developments during the day. No re-
ply was received from any of the can
didates to the letter addressed them
by one of their number, Mr.. Walter G.
Hartridge, asking that they unite in
a request for white primary to settle
their differences and in pledges to use
no money to influence the result of
the election.

ADMITTED HIS RIGHTS.
Counsel Virtually Conceded Justice
of Claims of SciEnez.

Counsel Virtually Conceded Justice
of Claims of Scignez.
The case of John Francis Seignez
against Mrs. Elizabeth Coughlan, ad-
ministratrix of the estate of Margaret
Wall, has been practically ended. When
it was taken up in the Court of Or
binary yesterday morning counsel for
Mrs. Coughlan announced that they
would introduce no evidence and virtu-
ally admitted the identity of the claim
ant.
If he is John Francis Seignez there is
no doubt that he is the sole heir at
law of Mrs. Wall and entitled to the
estate, which amounts in value to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. He has been
away from Savannah for twenty-eight
years, having left here when he was
boy of 13, and had passed completely
out of the life and knowledge of his
family and friends.
The evidence he was able to give of
his Identity, however, was so complete
that the counsel for the Administrative,
who had at first denounced him as a
fraud and an imposter, threw UP their
hands and have now abandoned this
contention. The only question remain
ing to be decided is that of the pro-
priety Of certain expenses incurred and
disbursements made by the administra-
trix, in investigating the good faith of
Sefgnez's claim to the estate This
question will be heard and argued be-
fore Judge Cam this morning.
The case Is an interesting one and
not the least interesting of it's features
is the pure chance by which Seignez
was discovered to be still alive in New
Orleans. He had been known there as
Frank Singer, and nobody ever called
him anything else. A casual CONVEX
satlon with a man who knew of the
Wall estate in Savannah led to investi-
cations and will result in his receiving
