H0MING BIRDS ARRIVED.
Fancier in Harrisburg Reports Upon
the Trip of the Pigeons.

Sixteen carrier pigeons were re-
leased by the Southern Express Com
pany at Savannah on July IA last, for
Edward N Hetrick of Harrisburg, Pa.
He had sent them to Agent ]. w.
Brown, asking him to liberate them
at o'clock in the morning. This was
done, as reported in the Morning
News at the time. The birds half
circled and then found a Decline for
Harrisburg.
Mr.. Hetrick has written Mr.. Brown
of the arrival of some of the homing
birds. Last year birds were dispatch
ed to Savannah and liberated, making
the return in quick time. Those sent
this year, however, did better than
those sent a year ago.
The first bird arrived on July 16, Mr..
Hetrick reports. The next day an
other arrived while on the 18th, two
more appeared. Three days elapsed
before others arrived. On the 21st
four appeared, and on the 22d two more
reached home. The others had not
| arrived at the time Mr.. Hetrick was
writing.
One of the birds that homed made
| the trip from Savannah to Harrisburg
| last year. This one has a reputation
as a flyer. All of his trips, aggregat-
! ing $3.50 miles, were over distances of
from 100 to 600 miles.
Mr.. Hetrick closes with the remark
| that next year more of the fanciers
of homing pigeons will send their
birds to Savannah for release.

MAPPED OUT NEW ROUTE.
Rural Free Delivery viii Extend to
White Blum


An inspection made yesterday by T.
P. Calhoun, special agent of the rural
free delivery service. will result in the
establishment of a second route in
Chatham county. The new route.
which Mr.. Calhoun will recommend
be established. Will run out the White
Bluff road. to White Bluff, to Coffee
Bluff, through Nicoisonville, thence by
the Dutchtown road to the Middle
ground road, and on that road. in
Guiding Dittsmerville on its way, back
to the city.
With the route first chosen-that
which will run out to Thunderbolt and
other coast resorts and settlements in
that general direction, and the route,
Mr.. Calhoun mapped out yesterday the
most populous sections of the county
supplied with a free delivery service.
1t is probable that these will he the
only two routes established, the in
dications being that the one designed
to tap the section west of the city will
have to be abandoned. In that direc-
ton the people are not sufficiently
numerous to warrant the establish
ment of a route.
Mr.. Calhoun will begin in a few days
advertising the examination he will
hold for the selection of the two car
riers who will be appointed. He ex-
poets the operation of the service to
be begun about Oct. /.

Days Longer.
The Savannah Brewing Company
will use oil as fuel. A contract has
been made for the necessary changes
in the equipment of the brewery, and
it is expected that the change from
coal to oil will be made by Sept. 1.
Oil will be furnished by the Guffy-
Bond Company. President A. S.
Guckenheimer of the Savannah Brew
ing Company said yesterday that a
contract had been signed, under which
the oil company will sell the brewery
four barrels of oil at three-fourths
what a ton of coal costs on the mar
ket at present, and that a guarantee
is given that the oil will produce more
steam than the ton of coal.
1--WE decided upon the change from
coal to oil for several reasons" said
Mr.. Guckenheimer. ut will, we think,
be more economical. A saving of from
20 to 25 per cent. in fuel bills will
follow. Then, too, there are the con-
siderations of smoke and dust, which
cannot be passed over in the brewery
business.
1.-The brewery is the first large COM
mercial industry in Savannah to make
it's arrangements for the use of oil,
instead of coal, for fuel. 1 believe
others are considering such a change.
but, If they decide to make 1t, l do
not think their plans will be carried
out before we begin to use oil.
mo danger follows from the use of
oil as fuel. The oil itself is not burned
directly. That would make smoke.
Vapor from the oil, mixed with steam,
is burned"
Mr.. Guckenheimer considers that
much of the coal sold now is of in
ferior quality, not proving as salts
factory for steam purposes as former
ly. This was another reason that in
duced the company to use oil.
The Georgia Brewing Association
will be shut down soon Mr. Guck-
enheimer said that no new beer. save
for freshening the stock, is being brew
ed by the Georgia Association. AS
soon as the stock is disposed of, the
plant will be shut down.
The Winter Brewing Company is
still operating, but. like the Georgia,
is not adding to its stock. Under the
terms of the contract by which the
Winter .Companys plant is leased to
the Geor-ia and the Savannah, and
then by the two latter to the Savannah
sixty days were allowed the Winter
Company in which to close out its

Company is doing is to freshen its
stock.
Preparations are being made by the
Savannah Company for the increased
business, it is to do at its own plant
when the others have been shut down
The storage capacity is now being en-.

saw Harris Behind a Door Reach
ing for Weapon.
Robert Simmons, the negro who shot
and killed George Harris, another ne
gro, in the house of Annie Garvin on
the Louisville road, was brought to
Savannah yesterday morning and
lodged in Jail. Simmons was captured
near Vaudeville. S. c.. by Deputy
Sheriffs Sweeney and Hartigan.
The capture was a clever piece of
work on the part of the deputies.
Sweeney conceived the plan of head
ing the negro off. 1t was reasoned that
he would make for Vaudeville, so the
officers took a train for that place
over the Atlantic Coast Line. There
they secured a carriage and drove
back, towards the Georgia line. They
had driven a few miles when they saw
Simmons in the road talking to a man.
They approached the negro, and when
within a few yards of him, Sweeney
jumped from the carriage and present
ing his pistol within a few inches of
Simmons face. commanded the negro
to surrender. Simmons gave up with
out any attempt at resistance.
The negro was then handcuffed and
taken to Vaudeville, where the party
took a train for Savannah early yes
terday morning. Simmons admits
having shot Harris, but according to
his story the shooting was more or
less justifiable.
At the Jail yesterday the negro stat
ed that he and Annie Garvin had
lived together, and that he paid the
rent for the house on the Louisville
road Some time ago he says the wo-
man became tired of him and had be-
gan to accept the attentions of Har-
riS.
On the night of the shooting, Sim
mons says he went to the house to
get pair of shoes which he had left
there. He knocked at the door. and
after a lamp had been lighted inside,
the woman admitted him. AS he
stepped in he caught sight of Harris
behind the door. Harris, according to
Simmons story, shut the door as soon
as Simmons saw him, and standing
with his back to it, put his hand into
his hip pocket as if to draw a weapon.
Simmons says he thought Harris was
going to kill him, so he drew his own
revolver and fired at his rival. After
he left the house he fired four other
shots through an open window.
In the meantime the Garvin wo-
man had escaped from the house by
jumping from a window. Simmons
says he looked for her, not to kill her,
but to tell her what he had done.
Simmons story tallies very closely
with the one which the Garvin woman
told the authorities in this city.

AGED PRISONER ARRAIGNED.
Chester Sexton, Charged With
Swind1ing HanIey Co., Held for su-
perior Court.


When arraigned in Police Court yes
terday morning, Chester Sexton, the
68-year- old white man who swindled
the Andrew Hanley Company out of
goods valued at nearly 500. had no
excuse to offer for his clever bunco
game, and was held for the Superior
court
Detective F. F. Wall, who arrested
Sexton. appeared against him, and told
the recorder how Sexton worked his
swindling scheme. The old man, sew
eral days ago, called the Hanley Com
pany over the telephone and said that
he was Capt. NJ. P. Usna. He said
that he was going to send his man
over for some things, and that 1t would
be all right Sexton then went to the
store on Whitaker street and presented
an order, purporting to come from
Capt. Usina. The goods were turned
over to him and he waited for a bill
The old man worked the same game
over again day or two
afterwards, and met with the same
success.
When he was arrested Detective Wall
found the bills for the goods in his
pockets. The detective has recovered
the stolen property.
Sexton has been in trouble a number
of times. He has often been arrested,
but has managed to get off with light
punishment on account of his ad-
vanced age. He. is said to be one of
the cleverest swindlers in Savannah
by the police, and all the members of
the detective force know him.

HENDERSON is TOO ILL.
Gambling Cases, Assigned for To-
morrow, VIII Not BE Tried.

Three gambling cases that were to
have been tried in the Superior Court
tomorrow have been postponed and
the trials will not take place possibly
for a month. The illness of one of the
defendants and, in consequence, his en-
forced departure from the city account
for the delay.
The cases are those of MAZE Hender-
son. j. II. Monohan and julius Rosen-
thai, all of whom are charged with
keeping a gaming house.
Yesterday R. L. Colding. counsel
for Henderson, applied to Judge Bar
row for a continuance of the case
against his client, on the ground that
he was not in the city, which he had
been forced to leave because of the
condition of his health. In support of
his motion Mr.. Colding produced
certificate from DR.. ]. @. Van Marter,
to the effect that Henderson had gone
North by his direction and because it
was absolutely necessary for the man
to get away if he desired to regain his
shattered health DIR. Van Marter said
further that it would not be cafe for
Henderson to return to Savannah at
this time.
On this showing the assignment of
Henderson's case for tomorrow was
cancelled, and almost from necessity
the other cases took the same course.
The indictments against the three men
were returned a year or more ago, on
the evidence of a single witness. That
witness is Horace Hunter, until re-
Gently a resident of Savannah, but now
living in Wilmington, N. C. Mr.. Hun
ter is in the employ of the Atlantic
Coast Line and followed the transfer
of the companys offices to that city.
1t was not deemed the part of wis
dom to have Mr. Hunter brought back
to the city to give evidence against
two of the defendants, and then later
have to bring him here again to testi-
fly against the third. The better plan,
it was thought, was to continue all
the cases and reassisn them all for a
day on which Henderson would be
present in court, and all of them could
be tried.
There has been no reassignment Of
the cases as yet. but the matter will
probably be taken up tomorrow or
some other day the present week. In
the meantime the members of the jury
have been relieved from attendance on
the court until Tuesday morning.

Police Court and Policeman Miller ap-
peared against them. He said that the
boys had stirred up a great deal of
disorder on the east side and that
they We're very drunk.
Recorder Myrick asked the boys
where they got their liquor, but they
did not remember. They admitted that
they had been drinking but denied the
statement of the policeman that they
had created disorder.
After lecture as to the evils of
drinking, the Recorder imposed a fine
OF SIS or thirty days in each case.

ENGINES MAY USE OIL.
Kick of Business Men May Bring

Kick of Business Men May Bring
1t About on River Street.
Acting Mayor Dixon has instituted
a correspondence relative to the com
plant of business men on the north
side of Bay street, who are protest
ing against the use of soft coal by
the engines of the Central Railway
that run on the River street track.
The acting Mayor does not under
stand why oil might not be used by
the company as a fuel for its engines
on that street, as there is every rea-
son for the complaint of offices being
befouled by the penetrating SCOT and
smoke from the engines.
1t is very probable that some meas
ure for the relief of the business men
will be introduced in Council. The
company may be required to use oil
as a fuel. The acting Mayor has read
of the successful operation of oil-burn-
ing engines on the Florida East Coast
Railway, and he does not see why
the Central cannot use them on River
street.

Unlicensed Ticket Brokers Objects
of Police Campaign.
The licensed ticket brokers of the
city are making a strenuous kick on
the interference with their business
occasioned by the entrance into the
field of numerous unlicensed traders
in the same line. Detective Nose
Davis has been specially detailed to
stop this practice and several arrests
he has made have had some effect in
breaking it up.
The curb-stone brokers not only vio-
late the city ordinances by conducting
such a business without a license, but
they make miserable the lives of in
coming passengers on excursion trains
by ceaseless opportunities to purchase
their tickets.
Sunday morning, when a number of
excursion trains from various parts
of this and adjoining states enter the
city, is the time when the free lances
of the ticket brokerage business get in
their best work. On several recent
Sundays Detective Davis has made ar
rests and it is hoped that the practice,
which is disagreeable to the railway
companies and their patrons, will
cease.

CERTAINTY VS.. UNCERTAINTY.
in Life Insurance Over the "TOn-
tine" or Deferred Dividend Plan.

tine" or Deferred Dividend Plan.
Annual dividends are like the old
story, "a bird in the hand is worth
two in the BUSH" With annual div
idends there is no uncertainty, and
whether the dividends be applied to
reduction or premium, making the in
surance cost less, or the purchase of
additions to the policy, thereby in
creasing the insurance, the policy
holder is sure of what he has got, and
it cannot be taken from him nor be
eaten up by future expenses, or in
the payment of enormous commissions
and Lonuses to agents to induce them
to push tine 'tontine" game. The "es-
Inmates" OF future "tontine'' results
are promises to the ear to be broken
to the heart. They are reducing year
by year, and none of the figures of
surplus to be paid at the end of the
period are as large now as a few years
ago. 1t is poor judgment to go into
business with any one for twenty
years, allow them to handle all the
funds, regulate salaries and all other
expenditures and accept their word
as final at the end of the period as
to how much or how little is coming
TO you. That is what you do when
you take "Tontine," or deferred div
idend policy. When the argument of
size is brought forward and the be-
wildcring array of figures is dwelt up
on to induce the admiration of the I'M
initiated, look for the liabilities. Many
a company with smaller assets is just
as strong. has just as many dollars
of assets to liabilities. Size is not al
ways an indication of strength. Re-
member that David slew Goliath.
The law of Massachusetts, has many
advantageous features, provides a
guarantee cash surrender for every
year beginning with the third, strin-
gently regulates the payment of divi-
dends, and looks well after the safety
and stability of her companies. The
Massachusetts, Mutual is the leading
Massachusetts company, organized 1851,
