Acknowledge That He Stole Har-
ness From DIR. w. e. Fitch.
Willie Rivers, alias James, arrested
after a sensational jump from the roof
of two-story house, will probably be
given a preliminary hearing by the
recorder this morning. He feigned to
be worse hurt than he really was yes
terday, and thus put off the inquiry
for another day.
He has confessed to having stolen
set of harness from DR.. w. E. Fitch
for whom he worked. He is to go to
the place where he disposed of it with
the detectives to-day. He also impli-
Gated John Williams who, he says,
helped him to steal the harness, and
later to get away from the police by
giving him a suit of clothes after he
had jumped from Mr.. Grimm's house
Williams was arrested early yester-
day morning by officer John Farrell,
and will also appear before the record
er to-day, his case having been con-
tinued yesterday.
Mary Jane Holmes was also taken
into custody by officer Farrell about
2:30 in the afternoon for having aided
Rivers. The police think they have
good case against all the prisoners
in the case.

LETTERS TO OFFICIALS.
Rates on Cotton Brought to Their
Attention by Committee.

The Transportation Committee of the
the petition recently referred to it by
the board of directors, asking that the
question of freight rates by the Ocean
Steamship Co. out of Savannah be con-
with the rates charged from interior
points. The committee has addressed
letters to President Spencer of the
Southern Railway and similar letters
have gone to officials of the
Ocean Steamship Co. at New York.
1t is understood these communications
recite the complaints, and ask the Of
ficials to consider remedial steps.
The trade feel that something will
come of the efforts of the Transporta-
ton Committee, as it is composed of
some of the most energetic members
of the Exchange. 1t is thoroughly be-
lieved they will pursue the investiga-
ton to the end, and bring such relief
as is consistent. 1t is asserted that
Savannah should be second to no other
cotton exporting port in the matter
of its freight rates, and to equalize
any existing differences will be the
object of the committees present eff
forts.
There is a feeling among the cotton
trade that the Ocean Steamship Com
pany will be perfectly willing to con-
slider the complaint and apply such
remedies as the circumstances call for.
When replies to the letters will be re-
ceived cannot, of course, be told. I'm
til they come, there will be no further
developments in the matter.
Mr.. Robert NJ. Coburn has accepted
a position with the engineering de-
partment of the Seaboard Air Line. His
duties have called him to Pablo. Fla,
where he went yesterday with a corps
of engineers on a surveying trip. He
will be absent from Savannah on this
trip, for several weeks.

games was as motley and various as
the games themselves, embracing as
it did, representatives of every occu-
patton in life and every scale in So
ciety. A spirit of carnival recklessness
seemed to possess everybody and the
respectable business man, who ordi-
narily never bets on anything of less
repute than the price of cotton or
stocks, rubbed elbows and made wag-
ers with the individual who ascends
the ladder of fortune with a bod of
mortar. Surely it was a great day, for
around the tables, all equally imbued
with the gambling spirit, all seeming
ly impressed with confidence in their
ability to achieve the impossible, clus-
tered ''all sorts and conditions of
men"
So the games went on, from the time
the crowd began to arrive in the morn
ing until the departure of the last car,
with, If anything, constantly increas-
ing shoW of enthusiasm. The piles of
paper and silver in front of the dealers
grew in size, constantly depleted,
though they were by the collections of
the principals, and when all was over
and the tired crowds ceased perforce
their attempts to add to their possess
sions, the 'unearned increment" the
piles were larger than ever before.
The philosopher who circulated
around in that Temple of Fortune yes
terday had chance to learn some
thing. He could have added easily and
materially to his knowledge of human
nature, even if he did not increase his
earthly fortunes.
1t is said that the butchers received
$500 for the gaming privilege. This
figure was not too strong, because the
principal professionals gathered in
enough to make good several times
over.

Rev. Mr.. Anthony, that it is the pur-

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stom-
ach Trouble, by Getting Down
to First Principles.

A man of large affairs in one of oui
prominent Eastern cities by too close
attention to business too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about
nervous irritability making it i'm
possible to apply himself to his daily
business and finally deranging the kid
neys and heart.
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my
case, but all the same they each failed
to bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and YiSor. For tive
years l went from pilla7~1o post, from
one sanitarium to another, 1 gave ul
smoking, l quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two OF
beer, but without any marked i'm
provement.
Friends had often advised me to
try a well known proprietary medicine,
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and 1 had
often perused the newspaper adver-
tisements of the remedy but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe fifty-cent patent medi-
cine could touch my case.
ITO make a long story short, finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and oc-
casionally a tablet between meals,
when l felt any feeling of nausea or
discomfort
Il was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the TWO packages were gone
l was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely
and they did not disappoint me. I can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose l had
ever known the horrors of dyspepsia.
out of friendly curiosity 1 wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
Tor information as to what the tablets
contained, and they replied that the
principal ingredients were aseptic
pepsin government tesO, malt dias-
tase and other natural digestives. which
digest food regardless of the condition
OF the stomach"
The root of the matter is this, the di
gestiye elements contained in Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food
give the oyerworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
"'@NetH receive NHt nouflsnnent which
can only come from food; stimulants
and nerve tonics never give real
strength, they give a fictitious strength
invariably followed By reaction. Every

TtO lot HIS VI
OlatiOn of the Ordinance.
Yesterday was an oft-day for the Re-
corder. The number of cases was
small, and the charges generally of not
a very serious nature. Three of the
prisoners were unable to pay the fines
imposed, and went to Jail, where they
will board for ten days. These were
Willie Grant Willie Bryan and Annie
Smith, all colored, and all arrested for
disorderly conduct.
Mary Solomons, the colored cham
bermaid accused by Mr.. d. F. Brady
of having stolen $40, which he had left
in a pocketbook on the mantel piece
in his boarding house, was discharged
from custody The case against her
was not proven to the satisfaction of
the court.
The Recorder gave one of the fast
and reckless drivers a sentence that
will doubtless act as a deterrent on
others of his kind. William Dryer,
colored, who was arrested for this vi
olation of the city ordinances Wednes-
day, was found guilty and fined $40,
with the option of serving thirty days
in Jail. He paid the fine.
The case of Willie FELTON,, who ran
over Mr.. ]. c. Cornell, was not heard,
but was deferred until the injured gem
tleman shall be able to appear against
him.

Once there was G. Patient Man who

her ali The time. but she couldn't tell

foul-hunger. She was a new woman
In fact, she was one of the newest Wo-

and she was fresh every hour.
When the latest fad struck town she
appointed herself Reception Commits

While a lady who never had rulped her

She loved to flirt with the unknowabie

'Isut she had no time for anything she
could understand. She preferred to san
through the ethereal regions OF the
bamboo dreams, hanging by one toe and
