Vice President--Mr NJ. F. Plant.
Secretary and Treasurer-Mr. G.. II.

General Manager-Mr II. w. Leary.
The business transacted at the meet
ings was of the routine nature, it was
announced. The earnings of the COM
pany showed up well, but there was
no statement given out, this not being
the custom of the company.
No trip over the Plant System will
be taken by the Southern Express Com
pany's officials. 1t has usually been the
case that a party would be made up
for a jaunt through Florida, but the

BIG BUILDING FOR CITY.
Movement for an Auditorium in
Place of First Regiment Armory.


A plan is afoot to build an audito-
rum for Savannah. The present idea
is to supplant the armory of the First
Regiment of Infantry, on Abercorn
street, by an auditorium that will
seat from 5000 to 1900 persons.
Capt. Walter E. Coney. adjutant OF
the regiment, is taking an active in
terest in the movement and hopes to
see it succeed. There is abundant
room, and more on the lot where the
armory is now situated to erect the
building, in which the regiment could
still find quarters.
The regiment has on hand about So
600, which it is believed it would be
willing to put into the auditorium.
There are number of patriotic citi-
zens of Savannah who could probably
be induced to subscribe a like or
larger sum.
With such a building the city would
be in a position to invite large gath
erings to meet in Savannah, and to
entertain them properly. The mat
ter has been discussed in the past
without effectual results, but it is
hoped that the pending effort will be
crowned with a, more Astounding sue
cess.

PREPARING TO DIE.
Murderer Henry Brooks Getting
Ready for the Fatal Morrow

Ready for the Fatal Morrow.
Henry Brooks, the condemned SLAYER
of Patrolman Harry B. Fender, will be
legally executed in Chatham county
Jail tomorrow morning, very shortly
after 10 o'clock The convicted muir
derer has not yet expressed a desire to
die at any fixed time between the hours
mentioned in the death sentence.
For several days Brooks has refused
to see any one but his mother and
spiritual advisers. He continues to re-
fuse to confess the crime for which he
was convicted and it is not believed at
the jail that he will make a confession
before he marches to his doom, if in
door he admits his guilt at ALL The
rope which once before was prepared
for Brooks is being stretched again, but
the knot will not be tied until morn
ing. During the day the false floor of
the cell into which the murderer will
step, will be tested for the last time.
Religious services will be held at the
jail this afternoon and Brooks will
spend his last night on earth Thus
far he has borne up well under the aw-
fuI strain, but it is not believed that
his nerve will be with him when prep
arations are made to adjust the black
cap. Although the negro has announced
that he is ready to die and that he has
forgiven all his enemies, and those who
testified against him, it is believed that
he viii collapse when tomorrow
breaks, and that he will display the
same nervous condition that he did
during the earlier days of his impris-

During the winter season the va
rious railroads enter into lively COM
petition for the travel to and from
Florida and South Georgia points.
Some of the railroads forming lines to
and from the West put on through
trains in order to catch a portion of
the business moving from the icy sec
tons of the Northwest to the balmy
resorts of South Georgia and Florida.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway, while not operating
through solid train, has so arranged its
schedules and improved it's passenger
equipment as to form a most desira-
BILE route to and from the Northwest
and the Southeast. This line, in con-
nection with the Atlantic, Valdosta and
Western Railway which runs between
Valdosta and Jacksonville, has the
most convenient schedules between
Jacksonville, Macon and Atlanta. It
also has very desirable schedules be-
Moultrie,, Fitzgerald, Thomasville, AL
bany, Montgomery, Columbus, Bir
mingham and points West and South
west. The Georgia Southern also
forms a part of the route popularity
known as the Dixie Flyer" over
which route are operated Pullman
sleepers from Jacksonville to Chicago
and St Louis via A. V. and w. Rail-
way to Valdosta, G. S. and f. Railway
to Macon, thence over connecting lines
to Atlanta, Ga, Chattanooga, Nash
vile and Martin, Tenn. These trains
make close connection at Nash
Vile for Louisville and Cincinnati, also
for Chicago via Evansville. Through
coaches are also operated between
Jacksonville and Macon without
change. The companys parlor sleeping
cars are run between Macon, Ga, and
Palatka, Fla, on night trains.
With double daily service between
Jacksonville and Palatka, Fla, to
points North, and four trains daily in
each direction between Valdosta and
Macon, the G. S. and F. Railway has
such fast and convenient schedules and
splendid train service that it is very
easy for it to secure the patronage of
a large share of the travelling public
during the winter SeaSon.-ad

For want of prosecution at yester-
days session of Police Court John f.
Wheaton was dismissed by Recorder
Myrick on a charge of assault with in

Wheaton shot Thomas Houlihan. a
mail carrier, in the shoulder several
weeks ago. He is a young insurance
agent and roomed at Houlihan's home
at Habersham and York streets. Houli-
han had not been in good health and
was not getting along very well with
his wife. This, il was said, was the
cause of the trouble.
Wheaton claimed that Houlihan was
coming at him with a weapon and that
he was forced TO fire the shot that
made the mail carrier a patient at st.
Joseph's Inhrmary for quite a while.
Wheaton furnished bail for his appear
ance at a preliminary examination and
the case was called once, but continued
at the request of the prosecution. Since
that time 1t has been open on the
docket and a call for a hearing was
unanswered by the prosecutor.

MUST IDENTIFY PROPERTY.
Creditors of Woods q Malone Dis
cussed Distribution of Assets.

cussed Distribution of Assets.
A meeting of the creditors of the
bankrupt firm of Woods & Malone was
held yesterday morning at the office of
the referee, Hon. A. II. MacDonell.
There was a large representation of
those interested in the distribution of
the assets.
Mr.. c. Z. Malone. one of the firm,
was on the stand during most of the
morning. He was asked as to the man
had been lost and gave answers that
were entirely satisfactory to the cred
itors and their representatives.
The referee refused to place in the
ranks of the preferrd creditors the
firm of l.. H. Hilton & co. of Screven
county The firm holds an account
against Woods q Malone amounting
to $3.50. The claim was for cotton
shipped on consignment to the bank
rupts. which it was contended could be
traced into the hands of the purchasers,
The referee decided that the identity
of the cotton was not properly estab-
lished and therefore that Hilton &, Co
could not be admitted as preferred
creditors of the bankrupt firm.
MIR. Malone was unanimously chosen
assistant to the trustee Mr.. George S.
Haines. There are many matters con-
nected with the collection of the as
sets that it was realized would require
the assistance of some one connected
with the business. and it was for this
reason that Mr.. Malone was employed
by the creditors of the firm.

, WILENSKY LOST AGAIN.
Foxy Grandpa Company Won Out
Before Magistrates Jury.


For the second time NJ. Wilensky. a
Broughton street shoe merchant, has
lost his suit against the Foxy Grandpa
theatrical company. The suit is for
S25 damages, alleged to have been suf-
fered by reason of the failure of the
company to keep a contract, and was
begun in Magistrate Bevans' court.
An advertising sheet was placed in
front of Mr.. Wilenskys store by an
advance agent of the company. and for
this privilege the merchant was given
one ticket. The contention of the plain
tiff is that the agent contracted TO
give him the best seat in the house
and that when he presented himself at
the theatre he was told that only adj
mission would be given him.
The company appeared for two
nights and the merchant stated that
he could not witness the performance
on the following night, even though
he should be given seat at that time.
He attached the company's costumes
on the following night, but bond IN
double the sum involved was furnished
by the manager of the theatre and the
costumes were released. Manager
Seaskind agreed to fight the case
which had been brought against Will
liam Brady, as owner and manager of
the Foxy Grandpa aggregation.
Mr.. Emile Newman appeared for the
defense and Mr.. w L. Boyd for the
plaintiff in a hearing before Magis-
trate Bevans. At that time the JUS
tice decided in favor of Manager Bra
dy and the costs of the trial were
charged to the plaintiff. An appeal
for jury trial was made and this
hearing has also resulted in a verdict
for the defense. The case, Mr.. Wilen-
sky says, will be certioraried to the
Superior Court

ELKS AND POLITICIANS.
Framing UD Entertainment for the
Chicago Democrats.


The Cook County Marching Club
will be entertained by the Savannah
Lodge of Elks and by the Citizens
Club on the occasion of its visit to
Savannah. The visitors are expected
here on Feb. "a, and it is believed
day, which will be devoted to a parade
and an entertainment.
A subscription list has been started
by the Elks with the view of provid-
ing for the entertainment of the WIS.,
itors about so per cent. of whom, It
is said, will be Elks. With the local
members of the order looking after
the Chicago Democrats. there can be
no question that they viii! have good
time in Savannah.
caucus of the Citizens Club will
be held soon to throw out a few lines
and get the swing of the political sit
uation. Those on the inside say that
there is nothing of especial moment
expected from the nesting. which
will be held only that the club may
take steps to work up its organization
again and start the activity that it
will probably display in the next mu-
niciDal election.
At this caucus will lie submitted a
proposition TO- the entertainment of
the visitors from Chicago. 1t is held
that the city. as a municipality, can
not devote funds to the entertainment
of the political organization that will
pay it a visit, so it is proposed to have
the Citizens Club come to it's as
sistance. 1t has been suggested that
the club give the visitors a trip down
the river aboard some steamer, sup
plying all the refreshments that would
be needed to make such an event
pleasant for those participating Upon
the return to the city a parade of
the Cook County Club might be held,
and the Elks would give their enter
tainment at night.
