The A1ilI-End Sale,

IT'S said that the duration of interest
in the worlds most startling occurrences,
last but nine days, and so "a nine-days'
wonder has got to be common saying.
But here is a wonder" that has passed
the nine-days stage and yet the interest
in it seems 10 abate not; in fact, it is as
live as a red-hot coal still; and that is
the interest that people seem to be TAX
ing in this great sale of mill stuffs now
going on at Adler's. 1t appears to be a
law of trade that if prices are made
right any one community can absorb the
surplus or dead-Neight stuff of any other
community; and this Savannah seems to
be doing quite enthusiastically at that
great overflow sale, called Mill End
Sale" still going on az Adlers. This is
one of the merchants of our city who
appears to have the knack or faculty, or
call it what you may. of interesting the
public in something that is manifestly to
their advantage to be interested in; and
in inducing the mills to make his store
the outlet for their lightweight stock he
has certainly awakened an amount of
enthusiasm in our citizens not often seen
This faculty of Adler's is clearly exem-
plified in this great sale that is scatter
ing benefits all over the city.-ad.

Arguments I'm Sturtevant Famed Suit
to De Made To-mOrrow.
The trial of the damage suit of Mrs.
Mary Sturt evant against the Florida Cent
raj and Peninsular Railway was contin-
ued in the United States Circuit Court
yesterday morning. The plaintiff is suing
the railroad for $4,000 damages for the
homicide of her husband, a fagman in the
employ of the defendant, who was killed
by one of Its trains in July, 1899.
1t is commended on behalf of the plaintiff
that the death of her husband was due
to the negligence of the agents and en-
ployes of the company. He was engaged
in the performance of his duties, assist
ing In the switching of a train in the
yard at Everett City, when he was
crushed under the wheels of one of the
cars and instantly killed.
The evidence introduced on behalf of
the defendant was designed to show that
the death of the plaintiffs husband was
due to his own negligent disregard of his
safety The introduction of evidence in
the case has been practically concluded
and the arguments will be made when
the Circuit Court convenes tomorrow
morning.
When the recess was taken yesterday
Judge Speer warned the jurymen to be
exceedingly particular in their conduct
and to permit no one to converse with
them relative to the case.

ufactures, and housekeepefs prefer it to
anything that they have used.
Magnolia Soap makes washing easy.
1t preserves the clothes.
1t gives a good color and a healthy
odor.
It's manufacturers are Savannah people.
1t is a home industry. All of their money
is turned loose here, and this is reaon
sufficient, aside from the fact that it is
one of the best soaps obtainable that it
should receive the patronage of every
single housewife and of every laundry in
Savannah. The fact that it is so rapidly
gaining popularity is evidence that it's
home patronage is strong.
The Southern Cotton Oil Company IS Of
fering three pretty prizes for the great
est number of wrappers. The award of
prizes will be April /.
The first prize is a ladies' gold watch.
The second prize, solid silver manicure
set.
The third prize. solid silver-mounted

TWO TRIALS FOR MURDER.
John Singleton Wednesday and
SeabOrn Hays Friday.

Two murder cases have been assigned
for trial in the Superior Court this week
Wednesday John Singleton will stand trial
for the murder of Zacharias Preston, and
on Friday Seaborn Hays will face jury,
for the second time, for the murder of
Motorman Lucius B. Varnedoe.
The indictment against Singleton was
found on Friday afternoon only, but the
evidence in the case is at hand, and it IS
not believed that there will be any APP
plication made for a continuance or post
ponement of the trial Singleton will be
represented by Mr.. Raiford Faliigant
Tie crime with which Singleton is
charged was committed at Burroughs, on
Christmas Day. So far as the evidence
has yet disclosed there seems to have
been no provocation whatever for the
murderous assault, though Singleton may
be provided with a defense that will serve
to reduce the grade of the crime or
possibly, secure his vindication and ac-
quittal.
The Hays case is well known. The de-
PENDANT was tried and convicted at the
last term of the Superior Court of the
murder of Lucius b. Varnedoe, a motor
man in the employ of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway,
and sentenced by Judge Fallgant to suf-
fer the death penalty.
The case was carried to the Supreme
Court of the state and there Judge Fal-
hgants decision, refusing a new trial
was overruled and a new trial granted.
This will be had Friday.
For other days in the week other cases
have been assigned, but these are not of
the public interest, that, because of the
gravity of the issues involved and the
possible outcome of the Singleton and
Hays cases, is felt in them.

TO REMOVE EXCHANGE TAX.
Cotton Exchanges Memorial TO
GeorEfa's congressman.

Georgta's congressman.
The systematic plan adopted by the Sa-
vannah Cotton Exchange in its efforts to
have the government tax on foreign and
domestic bills OF exchange removed prom
Uses satisfactory results. 1t is pretty safe
to predict that If the other exchanges
interested pursue a course as vigorous as
that Savannah has adopted the claims
for the removal Of this tax are sure to
be forcibly presented to Congress.
Superintendent ]. P. Merrihew followed
out the plans Of the Cotton Exchange yes
Ierday by mailing out to influential per-
sons copies of the preamble and resolu-
tions adopted by the directors, copies of
which viii. be sent to Georgia's rep5esen-
tatives in Congress. The resolutions fol-
low:
Whereas, Congress is framing a bill
TO reduce the war tax revenue, which bill
has the purpose of striking out those sec
lions Of the revenue bill, which are most
onerous to the trades of this country, and,
Whereas. II is important that our ag-
ricultural interests, which are the founda-
ton of the prosperity Of our country,
should not be burdened by any taxes,
which will necessarily detract from the
value of the products of our soil, therefore
be 1t
Resolved, That the Board of Directors
Of the Savannah Cotton Exchange petit
ton Congress to include the abolition of
the present war revenue tax on foreign
as well as domestic exchange in the war
revenue reduction bill now pending before
Congress, because such taxes are a burden
borne by both the producer and the con-
sumner of our Agricultural produc's, wheth-
er consumed at home or abroad, and es-
pecially upon the producers of products
which are exported, particularly cotton.
Resolved. further That copy of
these resolutions be sent to the two Sena-
tors and members of Congress from the
state of Georgia, with a request to use
their influence for the furtherance of the
purpose of these resolutions"

WAS STEALING A SAILOR.
Waterman Knocked Hole in Boat
and Drowned Bartlett.

and Drowned Bartlett.
The body of Joseph Bartlett, an &C
count of whose drowning, at an early
hour Friday morning, was published in
the Morning News yesterday, has not yet
been recovered, although the river has
been dragged at the point where the man
went down.
1t appears now that the death of Bart
lett occurred in a somewhat different
manner than that reported at police head
quarters. Sergt. Robert Laird of the Sea-
board force questioned the men who were
dragging for the body yesterday, and af-
ter a full investigation is satisfied that
Bartlett was drowned while engaged in an
unlawful act.
IL seems that Bartlett and a companion,
whose identity has not yet been discov-
cred, were taking "a sailor off the Italian
barkentine Letlzia, which is at the Sea-
board wharf opposite Price street. The
sailors clothing had been placed in the
small boat, but before che deserter him
self had gotten in, someone on the YES
sci, probably the night watchman threw
something in the small boat, knocking it's
bottom out Bartlett was drowned, but
his companion managed to swim ashore
and escape. This is the account of the
drowning as gathered by Sergt. Laird
and Coroner Keller has been notified of
the circumstances, and when the body is
found an inquest win probably be held.
Sergt. Laird said that Bartlett was a
sailor at one time, but had recently been
employed as a runner" for a sailor
boarding house. The officer says that the
practice of stealing sailors in this port is
becoming frequent, despite the efforts of
the officers 40 prevent it. Promises are
made TO the men who after desertion,
are shipped to please the fancy and pock-
etbook of the runners" 1t As said that
considerable sum is realized by those in
this illegal business.
