Speaker Gibbons has not practced astute politics in
the naming of the house committees The successful
should find it easy to forgive his political enemies
This should apply with special force to the successful
man who is ambitious. 1t is understood that Mr.. Wall
of Putnam county opposed Mr. Gibbons election, or at
least not of the original Gibbons men. If this
is the why Mr.. Wall, who is an old and infuen
al member of the house, has been reegated to fourth
and fifth places several unmportant committees it
shows narrowness unworthy of Speaker Gibbons and

The testimony taken by Commits

defendants counsel does not conclude
his rights of examination, it having
been agreed at the outset that the
defense should be allowed the privilege
of recalling any witness within sixty

the result of his visit, and is confident
that Carter will come clear at the
trial. The attaches of the engineers

copies of the many maps introduced in
evidence, which Mr.. Stone will take
back to Chicago with him. These
maps will be used at the trial. and a

MERCHANTS JOINING

Members Being Added Daily TO
Chamber of Commerce.
The prospects for large and repre-
sentative membership for the Chamber
of Commerce grow brighter every day.
Though the Committee on Membership
was appointed only Saturday and will
not be able to get to work before to-
day, many are joining the organization
without solicitation. Among those who
gave their names to Mr.. Roy C. Fos-
ter yesterday for membership, are
Messrs. Henry Blum, Jr., B. B. Neal,
Chas. Sipple and A. A. Lawrence.
Mr.. Foster feels that from the en-
thusiasm that has been thus far dis
played, and the number and standing
of the men who are working in the In
terest of the Chamber of Commerce.
there is absolutely no doubt that the
500 members that ii was at first hoped
for, will be secured, and probably sew
eral hundred in addition.
AS has already been stated the Com
mittee on Membership will have a meet
ing Wednesday night, to report the
progress made in its canvass of the
city, and ii is probable that each of the
other two committees, that on Charter
and Bylaws, and that to recommend
officers, will have a meeting about the
same date.

Mr.. BALDWIN NOT WORRIED.
street Railway President and the
West End Line.

President George ]. Baldwin of the
Savannah Electric Company, who re-
turned yesterday morning from Column
bus, where he acquired the stock of
the gas company of that place, does
not anticipate that there will be any
serious difficulty in carrying out the
plan for the extension of the West End
line of the system in this city.
Mr.. Baldwin did not know very much
about the opposition that has developed
in certain quarters, but stated that he
has been advised that two of the par
ties who have begun litigation were
not damaged in any manner. He
thinks, too, that Mr.. Exley will be
greatly benefited by the extension and
says that he advised Mr.. Exley that
he should not only be willing to give
his land to the company, but should
pay something towards making the
improvement.
President Baldwin feels that the
contemplated improvement in the serv-
ice by the additional line,~ is, of bene-
fit to the publici in general, and to
the owners of land in THAT section in
particular. He is1hot at all apprehen-
SiXe of the outcome.

STABBED IN THE HEAD.
Negro Robbed by Woman and Then
Cut hN Man.

While holding a woman who had
robbed him, Stuart Manigall. colored,
of No. q Guarard lane, was badly cut
in the head in a house on Stewart
street at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. The ARRAY was. reported at po-
lice headquarters and two arrests were
made by Patrolman NJ. B. Fleming.
The prosecutor claims that the
woman robbed him and that when he
caught her and endeavored to detain
her. Shade Johnson and Mat Jackson,
negroes. entered the room and attacked
him. He alleges that Johnson was
armed with a knife and made vicious
stab at him. The point of the knife
struck the back of Manigall's head and
an ugly wound was inflicted. During
the scuf11e the woman made her es-
cape and has not yet been located by
the police. The men, however, were
made prisoners and will be given a
preliminary examination before Re
corder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

Judge BarrOw's and Mr.. Thomas
Vacation on ORIethOrpe Plantation.
Judge Pope Barrow and Mr.. John
NJ. Thomas have returned from the
formers plantation in Oglethorpe
county, where they have been spend
ing a weeks vacation between the
terms of court. A heavy docket was
disposed of during the December term
and the court remained in session I'D
to the last day allowed by law, so that
the court was in need of a rest to
prepare him for the duties devolving
upon him at the opening of the new
term.
Mr.. Thomas. the official court ste
nographer, had an unusually large
amount of work to do during the
term. The transcript of the testimony
and brief of evidence in the Potter
case, alone, being an onerous under
taking. This work had to be done out
side of court hours in addition to the
regular work of the court, so that he,
too, was justly entitled to a weeks di-
version.

CROWDS AT THE CASINO.

Crowds of people were at Thunder
bolt and the Casino yesterday after
noon. The railway company put on
extra trailers behind the new large
cars and then there were not enough
to handle them. The principal attrac-
ton at the Casino was the concert by
the orchestra of the First Regiment
Band. A popular programme was rem
dered in the orchestras usual excellent
style. Its popularity was distinctly evil
denced by the appreciation with which
its renditions were received. The or
chestra is one Savannah ought to be
proud, for its value alone, and partic-
ularly because of it's connection with
the military.
Scott Cameron, the efficient leader,
has announced that the park concerts,
which proved so popular last season,
will be given again this season, COM
mencing early. This will be pleasant
news to many who spent many an en-
joyable evening last season in the Ex-
tension listening to the excellent mu-
sic.

And Insignia of the Order for the
Historical Society.
At the February meeting of the Geor-
gia Historical Society, which will be
held tonight, Mr.. T. Savage Clay will
present the society with valued his
torical articles to be preserved in the

Maj. Berrien was one of the most
active officers in the Georgia line dur
ing the Revolutionary War. When
Gen. Washington, then President of the
United States, and president-general
of the Society of the Cincinnati came
to Savannah in 1871, Maj. Berrien, who
was then secretary of the society, was
at his constant call. In recognition of
his high appreciation of his services
Washington presented him with the in
sigma, which is now in the possession
of DR.. William Berrien Burroughs, the
great great-grandson of Mai. Berrien.

TRIED THE WATER CURE.
when Drunken Negro Cursed He Got
the Winter Treatment.

Tightly bound with several yards
of rope, cursing at the top of his voice,
under the influence of liquor and wal
lowing in the> mud, Lymus Ancrum.
a negro, was placed under arrest on
Waters avenue, at Thirty-fifty street
er at the police station on a charge
of assault with intent to murder.
1t is charged that while in his cups
Ancrum attempted to enter a meet
ing house and was promptly elected
by Ben Stafford, his brother-in-law.
Ancrum became enraged and it is
alleged attempted to kill his sisters
husband with an ak. He made a vic
ious blow but Stafford lodged and the
crowd overpowered the drunk. Then
all the rope in the neighborhood was
gotten together and the prisoner was
tightly bound.
Ancrum squirmed and fought, but
was unable to shake himself free. He
then adopted different tactics. He
shouted and screamed and cursed, and
the atmosphere became fairly blue
with his profanity. The church peo-
pie were offended at the language ne
used and endeavored to cool his pas
sion by dashing buckets of water on
him. A large quantity of water was
used before the unruly drunk was sub
dued, and when Patrolman Clancy,
from police headquarters, reached the
scene with the patrol wagon the ne
gro was water soaked and covered
with mud. He will be given pre-
liminary examination by Recorder My
rick in Police Court this morning.

BURGLAR WAS CAUGHT
IN THE ACT
Shot After Shot Fired At Notorious
Negro Thief

ShOt aIter ShOT F1red AT NOtOEiOus
Negro Thief.
Caught in the act of burglarizing the
green grocery of knight & Co., on
Park avenue and West Broad street,
at an early hour yesterday morning,
Marion Williams, a notorious negro
burglar, made a desperate effort to es-
cape from Mounted Patrolman ]. C.
Mccarthy.
The negro was in the act of entering
by means of false keys when the uni
formed man saw him. Williams was
trying the different keys that he had
in his possession when the officer call
ed upon him to halt. Williams stopped
his work and made a break for lib
erty. Shot after shot was fired at him
by the patrolman who put spurs to his
horse and started in pursuit of the
burglar.
Firing while riding at full speed the
man in uniform was unable TO stop
the negro with a bullet. He did, how
ever, run the burglar to cover and
make him a prisoner. In the chase
Williams threw the false keys away,
but they were afterwards recovered
by the patrOlman. They were all made
by the thief and were of all sizes and
descriptions. Later Detectives Muir
ply and Bostick recovered other keys
in Williams house in Maple lane, in
FrOgtOwn.
The police consider Williams one of
the smoothest negro burglars that
they have to contend with. He is an
expert key maker and the collection
now in the possession of the officers
would be valuable to any second-story
worker. About three years ago Will
liams was discovered by Patrolman
Blumburg in the act of burglarizing
the store of Ludden & Bates, on Bull
street and York lane. Blumburg fired
several shots at the burglar and Will
liams was finally run down and cap
tured. He got off with a sentence of
twelve months for attempted burglary,
but later escaped from the changing.
He was captured in South Carolina
and made to serve out his sentence
here. The prisoner will be arraigned
before Recorder MyIick in Police
Court this morning

MAY BE SHANGHIED.
Police Asked to Find jerome Fitz-
gerald, the Pilots Son.


Fearing that he has been shanghied
and that he may now be, working be-
fore the mast on the high sea, against
his will, the police have been asked
TO locate Jerome Fitzgerald, son of
Pilot Fitzgerald.
The young man has been missing
since Feb. q, and his relatives and
friends are very much exercised. They
have requested the superintendent of
police to have thorough investiga-
ton and endeavor, if possible, to learn
what has become of young Fitzgerald.
Up to this time. however, the police
have been unable to obtain the slight
est clue TO his whereabouts. The
shanghie theory is the one that is held
to by the missing mans friends. He
has for quite a while been a well
known figure in shipping circles and
was frequently in the company of
ships masters.
