Means for Savannah.
Now that the consolidation of the
Louisville and Nashville with the At
lantic Coast Line has become an estab-
lished fact, rumors are rife as to the
changes that will be made in the off,
GERS of the two roads. A gentleman
interested in the railroad business and
just back from New York states that
according to the accepted slate, as re-
ported in New York, some Of the
changes will be as follows:
Milton Smith, now president of the
Louisville and Nashville, will be pres
ident of the combined properties; A
C. Kenly, now general manager of the
Atlantic Coast Line, will be general
manager of the combination; Capt. w.
B. Denham, general superintendent of
the second division of the Atlantic

tendent of both first and second di-
visions, and F. H. Fechtig will be pur-
chasing agent. r. E. Smith, it is also
stated, will be assistant general man.

From the same source comes the ru-
NOR that Wilmington will be made
headquarters for the entire system
The more credence is given this part
of the rumor from the fact that the
Atlantic Coast Line is at present en-
larging its Office buildings in Whining
ton.
The opinion is growing that the con-
solidation of these roads means much
for Savannah in the way OF additional
business for this portJ One cotton man
said yesterday that he knew of one
town alone that ships yearly $4,000
bales of cotton. which formerly went
via the Louisville and Nashville to

MIRTH, MIMICRY AND MUSIC.
Mr.. BinEham's Evening at LnwtOn
Memorial Thoroughly Enjoyed.

large and cultured audience greet
ed Mr.. Ralph Bingham last night at
Lawton Memorial. Mr. Bingham was
at his best and thoroughly enraptured
his audience with his inimitable imita-
tons of the Cracker and the negro.
By far the most enjoyable features of
the programme We're his violin solo
and his singing.
The entertainment consisted of char
acter imitation and violin and vocal
music. Mr.. Bingham was ably as
sisted by Miss Margaret Oatman Due
whose beautiful lyric soprano was a
most enjoyable feature of the pro-
gramme. Miss Due, who has but re-
Gently arrived in the city, is a native
of New Jersey. Her appearance last
night was her first in Savannah, but
her reception was so cordial, and so
thoroughly was her song enjoyed that
it is probable that it will not be long
before she again appears before a Sa-
Yananh audience.
Mr.. Bingham's impersonation of
Hamlet and his comic rendition of
Caesars Grafton were among the best
numbers on the programme. FIRE.
quently in the rendition of these parts
ne was accorded generous applause
Another feature of the programme was
a song by Mr. Bingham, in which the
organ accompaniment was beautifully
rendered by Mrs. Bergman.
The recitation of James Whitcomb
Riey's "Old Sidenel' brought forth
ripples of laughter and rounds of APP
plause from Mr.. Bingham's audience.
This poem was written especially for
Mr.. Bingham, and admirably did he
acqmt himself in reciting it, His i'm
PRESERVATION of the countryman was
well nigh perfect.
The evenings entertainment closed
with most comical impersonat ton of
two old negro women at a picnic. This
effort convulsed Mr.. Bingham's audi
ence. and was a happy ending to a
mighty enjR able evening. The enter
tainment was given under the aus
pieces of the Epworth Methodist
Church.

FIFTH YEAR FOR CRACKER.
Talented Escaper Given Another
Term on the Gang.


The weekly criminal session of the
City Court held yesterday lacked many
of the elements of interest that usually
accompany these gatherings of the
minor criminal classes of the city. The
only notable prisoner in the bunch that
faced Judge Norwood was Robert
Crummittee, an escaped convict re-
Gently arrested in Philadelphia.
Crummittee is better known as
Cracker" and has attained an unen-
viable notoriety as an all-round crook
during the past half-dozen years. Four
times, since he was first sentenced, he
has escaped from the gang and each
time he has been arrested and had a
years term on the gang added to the
period he was originally sentenced to
serve. He has served no great part of
any of these several terms, and the
twelve months added yesterday give
him about five. years he will have to
continue on the gang
Cracker took the sentence awarded
him yesterday with entire calmness.
and no exhibition of displeasure or
emotion. Doubtless he does not think
It will be long before he is at liberty
again. 9e
There were dozen other prisoners
before Judge Norwood, but they were
not interesting. For the most part
they had committed small thefts and
the like minor crimes, and for the most
part they went ito the gang for long
terms

TO END THE STRIKE.
Contractors and Labor Union Work
ing to the Same End.

Contractor and Labor Union work
ing to the Same End.
No change in the situation of the
strike on the branch building of the
Citizens Bank on Liberty street has
developed. One of the contractors said
yesterday that the work was going
right along and there was no DELAY;
that the night work has been discon-
tinued, not because the bricklayers
struck, but for other reasons, and there
were enough men on hand to resume
the night shifts whenever it was de-
sired.
Mr.. Lewman, who is in charge of the
construction of the new building. said
ne hoped an agreement would be reach
ed with the union by which its men
would be put back to work. He was
not in Savannah when the trouble oc-
Cured, but had he been he would have
tried to prevent it. The whole thing
was due to lack of consideration. and
ought to be ended.
Negotiations are now afoot nv which
1t is believed that eventually the strike
viii be ended satisfactorily to all CON
cerned. 1t will probably consume some
little time in the settlement, but Ri.
outlook is favorable. Meanwhile the
work goes steadily on, raising the walls
OF the new structure, which on one side
are already several stories high.

STILL NO GOOD CLUE.
Police Think Crazy Desperate Has
Fled the City


The identity and whereabouts Of the
negro who shot at the policemen with
a Winchester rife and escaped into
the tall grass, whence he could not
be driven out until darkness put an
end to the fight, have become a COM
plete mystery.
All of the first part of night before
last the police were busy Investigate
ing rumors purporting to tell just
where the man could be found, but not
one of them was worthy of credence
and eventually the officers got tired of
chasing phantoms. Not one of the
stories had any foundation in truth
and they were based mainly on the
vivid imaginings of those from whom
they were received. 1t is felt that, If
the man is really gone, that is the
best thing that could happen. For, if
ne is really a lunatic, as seems to be
the case, he would put up a desperate
hght, and, perhaps, would have to be
killed in the end and might destroy
the lives of one or more of the officers
and citizens. The police are of the
opinion that he insult be captured if he
appears again, and this will be accom-
plished at all hazards, but if he has
got frightened and left this vicinity,
then their jurisdiction ceases and it
is bad thing well rid of.
There is no reason to suppose that
the negro has remained in Savannah
The last vestiges of reason probably
remained to him, and this was suffi-
Gent to show even his clouded intellect
that having once fired on the consti-
tuted authorities, flight was an abso-
lutte necessity. So sure are they that
ne mas departed for parts unknown,
that nothing more than a close sur
Veillance is being kept. New clues
Will not be taken up unless they are
shown initially to have more founda-
ton in fact that the many rumors of
the past day or so.

A BIG CANDY FACTORY.
New Enterprise to he Established
by Paul COnfda.

New Enterprise TO lie Established
by Paul COnfda.
Savannahs list of new manufactur-
ing enterprises is soon to be enlarged
by the addition of a candy factory to
be established Jan. by Mr.. Paul Co
nida. 1t will be one of the largest and
most complete in the South, Mr.. Co
nida promises, having up-to-date ma
chinery. using the most modern and
apOroved methods and turning out
only the best class of goods.
The factory is to be located in a
three-story building on Williamson
street, near West Broad. This is now
being prepared for the reception of the
machinery for the factory. Between
fifteen and twenty hands will be en-
ployed when the work is begun, and
these, ii is expected, will be Increased
from time to time as the business
grows.
Mr.. Conida expects that he will have
large trade in all of the territory con-
tiguous to Savannah. He will develop
1t by putting number of men on the
road to push the product of the fac
tory. The factory will receive practi-
cally the whole of Mr.. Conidas time
but this does not mean that his pres
ent business, the conduct of a candy
and soda water parlor on Bull street,
viii be discontinued: on the contrary
1t Will probably be made the depot
from which to retail the product of
the factory in addition to keeping up
its present business.
That the factory will be in compe-
tent hands is shown by the fact that
Mr.. Conida has been in his present
business some fourteen years. twelve
years in Savannah and two in New
York. In the latter place he was con-
nected with a candy factory, and there
gained the knowledge and experience
that will enable him to make a sue
cess of his present venture.

ABOUT COTTON RATES.
Railroad Men and Cotton Men Held
Conference Yesterday.


Conference Yesterday.
The matter Of the alleged freight
determinations against Savannah on
cotton shipped from the interior to
this port and also to the mill towns
of the Carolinas and of the East was
discussed informally yesterday morn
ing at a conference held among a num-
Der of prominent railroad men and
two members of the Transportation
Committee of the Cotton Exchange.
1t will be remembered this matter
was brought up at a meeting of the
board of directors of the Exchange and
was by that body referred to the
Transportation Committee for such ac-
ton as was deemed advisable by it.
The matter was taken up with the
railroads and yesterdays conference
was one of the results.
Those present at the conference
were: MIR. w. A. Winburn. vice presi-
dent and traffic manager of the Gen.
trail of Georgia; Mr.. T. NJ. Emerson,
traffic manager of the Atlantic Coast
Line; Mr.. l.. +. Chalenor. assistant
general freight agent of the Seaboard
Air Line; Mr.. James MenZies, general
freight agent of the Atlantic Coast
Line, Mr.. John Nisbet and Mr.. J. F.
Minis, the two last named represent
ing the cotton men.
The railroads, said Mr. Winburn,
were able to report that some progress
had been made in investigating the
matters under discussion. The cotton
men were also informed that another
meeting of those interested will be held
SO soon as the Carolina roads shall
have got a tariff on their cotton rates,
and the railway and steamship lines
touching Savannah shall have had
meeting. 1t is expected that this sec
ond meeting will be held within the
next ten days.
Messrs. Nisbet and Minis were seen,
but both declined to discuss the mat
ter at all.

made every effort to rescue him, but
in vain, as he was dead when they
got him out.
He was rolled on a barrel and every
thing done that is prescribed for re-

not be made to show any signs of life.
