MURDER TRIALS POSTPONED.
None VIII BE Had in Superior Court
Before Friday.


There will be no trial of any of the
alleged murderers now in Chatham
county Jail before Friday Owing to
representations made the court by
counsel for the defendants, Judge Bar
row has consented to a brief delay.
1t is probable that on Friday John
Burke will face jury for the murder
of Hattie Bruen. 1t is possible, how
ever. that James Stewart, one of
the murderers of Dover Fountain, now
in Jail, will be tried instead of Burke.
1t is Judge Barrow's purpose to de-
vote Friday and Saturday to the trial
of the murder cases now on the docket.
Besides the homicides of which young
Dover Fountain and the woman Hat
tie Bruen were the victims there is
another yet to be judicially investi-
gated. This was the killing of William
Baker by William Butler, which oc-
cured at Sunnyside, south of the city,
several months since. There is the
possibility of this case being tried this
weak.
There will be no criminal trials of
any kind before Friday, the Superior
Court jurors having ali been relieved
until that day. Only such cases as
can be disposed of by the court with
the Intervention of jury will be heard
by Judge Barrow up to and including
Thursday

AT POINT OF PISTOL
TRAVELLING MAN HELD Up AND
ROBBED ON LIBERTY STREET.
HIS IDENTITY A SECRET.
Two NEGROES RELIEVED HIM OF
$Is UNDER AN ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Work of Hfghwaymen Was Witness
ed by Lady From Her Bedroom
Window-CaIIed to the Victim to
Shout for Help, but He Was Too
Frightened to Do So and Handed
out HES Purse and Money-Gave
the Police an Excellent Descrip-
ton of Men and Two Were Arrest
ed-One Had Revolver, but the
Stranger FaiIed to Identify Either
of Them.
At the point of a revolver a travel
ing man whose name the police claim
they have been unable to secure, was
forced to deliver his pocketbook con-
tanning SIS to two negroes early yes
terday morning The hold-up occurred
under the glare of an electric light at
the northwest corner of Liberty and
Price streets.
The man whose identity has been so
carefully guarded, was passing on Lii
berty street, and was eating an apple
that he had purchased from a fruit
store on East Broad street. Two ne
groes came out of Price street and one
of them thrust a pistol in his face and
ordered him to hand over his money.
He was badly frightened and started
to do SO. A lady in a second-story
window witnessed the act and called
to the man to shout for help. The pis-
toll, however. was dangerously close to
his face and he gave up the money
without making any outcry.
Later he furnished an excellent de-
scription of the highwaymen to the
police and said he would be able to
identify them if he saw them again.
About two hours later Patrolman
Hicks arrested two negroes answering
the description given him and found
revolver on one and a razor on the
other. The officer was confident that
he had secured the right men, but the
stranger claimed not to be able to
identity them. They are charged with
being suspicious characters, and the
man with the pistol will be arraigned
for a carrying a concealed weapon.
Several other arrests were made be-
fore officer Hicks got the negroes who
in every way answer the description
given by the unknown victim. No ar
rests were made after Hicks catch,
and the fact that the stranger has so
zealously guarded his identity makes
it apparent that even though the Gull
prits were arrested he would not pros
ecute them for fear his identity would
be disclosed. At police headquarters
it was stated that the man assigned
as his reason for not wanting his name
known that he did not care to have
the affair get to the firm for which
he travels or his wife.
1t was stated that he had been n
guest of the De Soto, and that he left
there yesterday morning and secured
board with Mrs. Nj. Allen of No.
IL Oglethorpe avenue, west. At
the De Soto it was stated that
no guest of that establishment had
been robbed, and the clerk on duty at
the time of the robbery said that,
while he had heard of the holdup, he
was certain the victim had not been
stopping there. The robbery was a
hold one, but it is not likely that the
highwaymen will ever be arraigned
on the charge of which they are
guilty.

Will He Busy To-day.

VIII lie Busy To-day.
Active members of Post A of the
Travellers Protective Association will
be out to-day seeking applications for
membership in the organization. Many
of the wholesale merchants and the
manufacturers, who are not already
members of Post A, will be invited to
unite with it. 1t is expected that they
will follow the example that has been
set by so many of the prominent bust
ness men of the city and become men,
bers of the organization.
Never before was there such activity
displayed as now by the 7. P. A. Here
tofo, e the Savannah post has seemed
content to make no esp-cial efeHrt 10
ure the manufactures and WhAi"
sale merchants as members, but they
now appreciate that great additional
strength would be loaned their organ
ization by securing the heads of the
influential firms. The members of the
post hope before long to be recog-
nized az one of the strong commercial
bodies of the city.

Egan for Dfsinfection.
The steamship City of Birmingham
is at the quarantine station to have

She was ordered there yesterday morn
ing by President John M. Egan of
Ocean Steamship Company, and all day
the Marine Hospital force stationed at
quarantine was at work upon the ship.
1t is expected that she will return to
the city this morning. She was to have
sailed this afternoon for New York, but
will not leave until tomorrow after
noon.
A case of smallpox is supposed to
have been brought down by the City
of Birmingham Saturday morning,
when she arrived from New York.
Among the steerage passengers were
two foreigners. They spoke no English
at all, but Mr.. Egan said yesterday
that he inferred, from their names, that
they were Greeks. New Orleans was
their destination, and they were trans
ferred from the steamship to the Cen
trail Railways morning train for the
west.
Yesterdays Morning News, in dis
patch from Barlow, told of the discov-
cry of a case of smallpox on the train
by Conductor Barney Cubbedge. The
train was stopped and the patient, I'M
der the care of a doctor who had been
taken on at Barlow, was put off in
Jefferson county This patient was one
of the supposed Greeks.
The occurrence was reported to Pres
ident Egan, who at once decided that
it would be we'll to have the steerage
of the City of Birmingham disinfected
He accordingly ordered the ship to quar-
antine This precaution will make the
steerage absolutely safe for other pas

for Arcadia, Fla, in the custody of
Sheriff t. Z. Fielder of De Soto county.
He went willingly and without requisl-
ton papers, to stand trial for the OF
Tense of breaking and entering a rail-
way car in that town.
Summerlin had expressed himself Will
ing to go for day or two, but was

prisoner should not be turned over to
Sheriff Fielder. This misrepresentation
was relieved by telegram from At
lanta received on yesterday and the
sheriff and Summerlfn departed on the

TWO CUPS AS TROPHIES.
To BE Played for by savannah Golf
Club Members.

To BE Played for by savannah Golf
Club Members.
The date has been fixed by the Green
Committee of the Savannah Golf Club
for the annual contest for the cup pre-
scented by that committee and also for
the "oppenheimer Cup" Both of these
contests will be decided by qualifying
medal play to commence Saturday. The
first eight best gross scores will qualify
for the former, and the second eight
for the latter and both Fights will take
part in match play the following week,
Tuesday and Thursday, leaving the
two finals for April 10.
The runner up in the Green Com
mittee cup event will be provided for
in handsome prize. In addition there
will be a ball handicap on the 18th in
order to give those who are not up to
top notch play a chance to win some
thing. The entrance fee will be one ball
and the pool will be divided into tour
purses, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. to the
four best net scores. The committee
will endeavor to so handicap the play
ers that each one will be on even foot
ing.
These events are the main attraction
of the year and big list of entries is
expected and desired. While the
knowing ones" are already picking
certain winners it is by no means, a
sure thing as players have developed
in the last year who will cause the "old
guard" some uneasiness.
The present holder of the Green
Committee Cup is Mr.. Noble A. Har-
dee, who has been picked for a winner
again. The holder of the "oppenheimer
Cup" is Mr.. j. NJ. Lang, who will
work with might and main to retain
that coveted trophy.
Tea will be served as usual on Sat
urday by the ladies', and other refresh
ments are proposed. The committee de-
sires all entries in as early as posi-
BILE, and lists have been provided and
are now open on the board at the club
