Put In Service Next w eek
The steamship City of Macon, sold
last week by the Ocean Steamship
Company to the Merchants and Min
ers' Transportation Company. is now
at Baltimore, where she will go into
dock for some changes as to her ports
to make her fit the Merchants and
Miners wharves. She made the trip
from New York to Baltimore in thirty
one hours. She will be laid up for
couple of weeks on account of the
changes necessary TO be made, when
she will be started on the Baltimore
Savannah Line. When she arrives
here she will be spick and span as
new ship.
The Chattahoochee of the Ocean
Steamship Line is now laid up in New
York for overhauling. AS soon as she
is out the Kansas City will be laid UP
and the Chattahoochee. it is under
stood. will go on the New York Boston

ONE ODD FELLOW is OUT.
And others May Be Out as Result of
Recent Trouble About Fnfr.

The recent trouble that developed in
Odd Fellow circles as the result of the
fair given under the auspices of Sa-
vannah Encampment and which led to
a personal encounter between Messrs.
Frank Grower and Jas. Van Bershot,
has net yet been ended.
1t was stated yesterday that at least
one of the brethren who was on the
general committee of the fair, a man
who has always been prominent in
both subordinate and encampment af-
fairs, is now no longer connected with
the order. though whether he was ex-
PEELED. suspended or quit was not
stated.
1t is understood also that two other
well known members of the order may
yet be called on to answer charges.
Such action as the lodge takes is sup
posed, of course, to be kept secret, but
because of the general interest that
was excited by the first part of the
trouble to keep the matter quiet now
is found to be almost impossible.

CROPS IN A BAD WAY.

One leading Savannah firm heard
from responsible correspondent at
Sparks. who says he has just made an
extended trip through Berrien county
He found the crop damaged by rust
and black blight. One particular field
that produced 10 bales last year will
not produce 2 this year. Adjoining
this field is another which promises a
fine crop. The only way of accounting
for this difference is the fact that the
former was planted in cotton also last
year, while the Furnishing field was
in corn last year.

state. county and municipal taxes in
Savannah are now higher than they
should be and to increase the burden

Admired Her Nerve.

The constant inquiry during the day
was as to whether the woman had been
caught. That was on every tongue.
Many people said: We'll, admire the

believed, too, that she is right in the
city, and that she will not leave until
after the affair has blown over and the
vigilance OF those seeking her has re-
Taxed.
That she is still in the city is prob
able from the fact that every train to
depart since the diamonds were stolen
