Little Chance for Crooks to Get in
Their Work MT TO-dny's Circus.
According to Advance Agent Bert
Davis, gums and dips are unknown
quantities with the Forepaugh- Sells
Company for longer than a day. The
management has always protected it's
patrons from crooks, and a private
detective is carried with the circus. He
sees to 1T that the crooked gentry do
not get busy" around the tents. Of
course, he cannot keep his eye on the
entire city, and the police and detec-
tives will have their hands full to-day
watching suspicious strangers.
1t was known last night that a dip"
of no mean ability arrived in Savan-
nah during the day, and he will prob
ably be picked up this morning. He
hadn't been in the city ten minutes
when he was tipped off," and he VIII
be given no opportunity to get in any
of his work
1t is expected that other queer fell
lows" will drop i'm during the morn
ing, and the city detectives, with the
aid of the circus officer, are prepared
to give them a frosty" reception.

WANTS CLOSE CONNECTION.
Stilimore Air Line Seeking That
With SeabOard Air Line.


The Stllmore Air Line is not seek
ing to operate a passenger train into
Savannah. as was rumored few days
ago, but is negotiating for a closer con-
nectioh of schedule with the Seaboard
Air Line, at Collins, with a view to al
lowing the residents along the line of
its road to reach Savannah from their
homes, spend at least six hours in this
city, and return again the same day.
early enough, in fact. to take supper
at home.
This is the statement of Mr.. George
NJ. Brinson. president of the Stillmore
Air Line, who was a visitor to Savan-
nah yesterday. Mr.. Brinson has talked
the matter over with Mr.. w. Hale, SUI
perintendent of the fourth division,
SeabOard Air Line and with Mr. c. B.
Walworth, assistant general passenger
agent, both of whom think favorably
of the plan. The matter is now under
consideration by the chief officials of
the road at Portsmouth.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Crimson
is to have the Seaboard Air Line train
which now leaves Helena, bound for
Savannah. at 4:4o, and passes Collins
at $50, leave Helena at 6, and pass Gel
Inns at $780, reaching Savannah at TO-
And in returning have the train that
now leaves Savannah at $3.50 leave at
1870.
Mr.. Brinson says that his road.
which now has "a miles of track, is not
being extended at present, but that
the roadbed is being materially i'm
proved, trestles are being filled in with
soil, through the aid of a steam
plough, and matters generally are be-
ing put in first class condition.

VAULT FOR CASKET.
May BE Easily Constructed Beneath
the Greene Monument.

May he Easily Constructed Beneath
the Greene Monument.
It has been ascertained that the con-
crete of the Greene monument is direct
ly beneath the shaft. 1t does not ex-
tend upon all sides, as do the fiat
stones about the base. The lifting of
one of these stones discovered the
earth beneath, and in this earth a vault
for the remains of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene and his son, George Washing
ton Greene, may be readily construct
ed.
The investigation was made by the
director of public works and a repre-
sentative from the city engineers of
fee. A report was made to Gen. w.
". Gordon, president of the associa-
ton of patriotic societies. which has
undertaken the arrangements for the
reinterment of the remains.
But little time wifi be required to
fashion a vault beneath the stone.
Work will not start upon the vault,
therefore, for some days. The discov-
cry that the foundation is not so mas
sive as suspected renders the work less
difficult than was apprehended it would
be.
A meeting of the association was
held last night at the home of Gen.
Gordon, when reports of the several
working committees were received.
These showed satisfactory progress.
An invitation to the Governor of
North Carolina and the Governor of
South Carolina TO attend and partici-
pate in the ceremonies of Nov. II is
being considered, and it is probable
that it viii be extended. Invitations
to the military commands to act as
an escort will be sent out soon

JURY BOXES SENT ON
JUDGE sPEER ORDERED THEM
FORWARDED TO MACON.
TO CONVENE U. S. COURTS.
GREENE AND GAYNOR CASES MAY
BE CALLED.

Judge Speer's Intention to Convene
the November Term of Court Made
known by Request for Jury Boxes
to BE Sent TO MncOn-COnvening of
the Court Unexpected Here-Many
Bankruptcy Matters to Be Dis
posed of.
1t is probable that Judge speer will
hold court in Savannah for the No
vember term, commencing Thursday,
Nov 6. A communication from Judge
Speer was received by Deputy Clerk
Gillespie of the United States Court,
requesting that the jury boxes for the
Eastern Division of the Southern Dis
trict be forwarded to him at once.
From this request is gained a knowl-
edge of Judge Speer's intentions. IN
less he contemplated such action, there
would be no necessity for the drawing
of jurors. 1t was thought by many that
there would be no session of the court
at the November term, and the knowl-
edge that Judge Speer will be here will
DE received with much satisfaction.
1t is probable that the main business
before the court will be the considera-
ton of bankruptcy cases. There are a
great many of these now on the cal
endar, awaiting disposition. There are
very few Jail cases. though there are
quite a number of prisoners being held,
under bond, or in Jail, for the action
of the grand jury.
GaynOr Cases May Come Up.
1t may be that the two Gaynors who
did not seek to evade the processes of
the law will be brought to trial. Mr..
Marion Erwin has never stated when
he would have the case brought to
the attention of the court. 1t is hard
ly probabl however, that they will be
brought to the bar of Justice just vet.
The district attorney has not relaxed
his efforts to bring Greene and Gaynor
back to the jurisdiction of Judge
Speer's court, and until he succeeds in
so doing. or abandons hope, it is prob
able that the other two Gaynors will
not be brought to trial.
The jury boxes were last night sent
to Macon. Mr.. King. the clerk of the
court, is now in that place, and will
probably receive the boxes. The trans
mission and delivery of them is a very
important affair. They are sent by
express, and every precaution is taken
against their being tempered with.
Jury Boxes Forwarded.
A request was sent to the express
Office yesterday afternoon to call for
the boxes as soon as possible. Sew
eral hours passed and the express man
put in no appearance. Mr.. Gillespie
growing apprehensive, telephoned the
company to ascertain why it did not
send for the boxes. An hour later no
| response had been made. The janitor
| of the building came in and
after reporting the matter. ask
| ed for instructions. it was sug-
| gested that he take the boxes
| over to the express office himself
| The negro. who had been an inter-
ested listener at the Greene Gaynor
trial. shook his head positively. mo,
sir" he said, mot for a thousand dol
lars l amt done forget it was jis that
thing made Greene and Gaynor's law
| years ject their indictment. Judge
Speer said to let no one have anything
to do with those boxes 'cept him, the
| express company and the clerk"

Do Business Men Think of Thisf

The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of it's citizens?
1t saves little, if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such sys-
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm to your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay. rent to pay. employees
to pay, and other charges to meet.
This applies to all lines of business,
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it,
Thousands of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here, able to do much more
work than they are doing if they had
1t to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses.
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and. indeed,
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
a Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And it will do it as well and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find its way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it?

CARS FOR THEATER-GOERS.

Arrangement Announced Some Time
Ago Not Yet Put Into Effect.
Theater-goers want better street car
service after theater hours. At the
opening of the amusement season it
was announced by Manager Seeskind
of the Theater and the Street Railway
management, that cars would be in
waiting at Abercorn and McDonough
streets after each performance, for the
convenience of theatergoers. The ar
rangement seems to have miscarried,
however, and patrons of the Theater
have to walk or wait on the regular
schedules, which after IL o'clock, seem
tediously long.
A number of efforts have been made
to induce the Street Railway to build
a branch track from Abercorn street
on McDonough to the Theater, so that
cars might be kept in waiting
for the close of all performances. This
would be a great convenience to the
ater-goers. Many ladies would
go without escorts if they had
a more reliable way of getting
home without having to walk some
distance to a car line and then waiting
an uncertain time for a car. An effort
has been made to have the Whitaker
street cars wait at Whitaker and Nc
Donough streets after performances,
but without success

WILL ADD MEMBERS.
Additions VIII BE Mnde to Georgia
Society of the Cincinnati.


Society of the Cincinnati.
A meeting of the Society of the Gin
cinnati in Georgia will be held Mon
day at the Office of the president, Mr..
w. G. Charlton. Mr.. Charlton return
ed yesterday from New York, where he
was in attendance upon a meeting of
the Executive Committee of the general
society. He will have much of inter-
est to the Georgia Society to report.
There are now sixteen members of
the Georgia Society. 1t is expected
that seven or eight additions to this
membership will be made. For some
time the applications of these eligibles
have been in hand, but there has been
hesitation about acting upon them I'M
til such time as the Georgia Society
might be fully admitted into the gem
eral society. This full admission has
been secured. and the Georgia Society
is now restored to it's old position.
When the convention of the general
society was held in Hartford last June
1t was determined to re-admit the
Georgia Society as soon as the latter
should adopt resolutions acceptable to
the general society and protecting II
in the restoration of the Georgia fund
that had drifted into the treasury of
the general society. Such a resolu-
ton was adopted, and the fund will
be paid over to the Georgia Society
as soon as assessments levied upon the
several states to make it up have been
met.
The restoration of the Georgia So
ciety to its old place and the deter
mination of the general society to re-
pay the Georgia fund, instead of ex-
acting payment, please Mr.. Charlton
greatly. His satisfaction will be shared
by all the members of the Georgia So
ciety.
1t is probable that it will be decided
at Mondays meeting to make Feb %
the date for the annual meeting of the
society. July 4 is now the date, but
objections have been raised to this,
| and it is believed there is a general
sentiment favoring the change.

FELLED WITH A ROCK.
Negro Brothers Claim Injured Boy
Was Armed with Razor.

In a rock battle on the East Side yes
terday morning Albert Williams, ne
gro boy, had his head cut open. Sam
and Fred Minis, brothers, were arrest
ed for the assault by Detective Nose
Davis, and are held prisoners at the
police station house.
The trouble occurred on Wheaton
street, and it is alleged that the Minis
brothers ''ganged' Williams. The
youthful prisoners deny that they were
the aggressors, and declare that Will
liams didn't get half of what he was
entitled to. 1t appears that two of the
boys had a street fight several days
ago, and that Williams announced that
ne would get even for the beating he
received. According to the prisoners
Williams was armed with a razor, and
looking for trouble when brick struck
him side the head and temporarily put
him out of business. Williams will be
able to appear against his assailants in
Police Court this morning.

FOR SCHEDULE MEETINGS.
Arrangements Are Being Made b,
the Tourist Lines

A meeting of traffic and transporta-
ton officials interested will be held in
Atlanta on Oct. 80, when the winter
schedules that are to be in effect be-
tween Chicago and Florida will be ar
ranged. Officials representing all the
lines over which the through trains
