will be general throughout the South,

breaker in tie matter of marriages,
eclipsing, by learly a score, the record
of any previous month for many moons.
That the gooi saint had something to
do with the Hynenean inclination is
argued by the fact that the number of
marriage certificates issued during the
first two weeks was considerably
smaller than during the last two weeks,
following st. Valentines day. Eighty
four licenses were issued.
Peculiarly enough the month started
with the issuance of a license to a Miss

There are six more matches conn
prising eighteen games yet to be play
ed, of which each team will partici-
pate in twelve. There is a possibility
of a general change in the standings
of the teams before the series ends;
even now the first may be last and the
last first. However, it will necessitate
some gilt-edge playing. Events of the
past week foretell a fast race and a
close finish for the series, and the
league followers are in high spirits.
The next match will be played between
the Hussars and the Tomochichi on the
Hussars' alleys, Tuesday night.

SIX MORE BOWLING MATCHES
WIFI Wind Up the Ir1ter-CIub
Leagues Season.

The end of the sixth week of the
second series of the Inter-Club Bowl
ing Leagues season finds the Hussars
holding the lead with tbs usual two
thirds percentage. The Yacht Club fol-
lows with not quite so good a standing
as at the end of last week. The Tom
ochichi Club is third with a better
standing.
The Hussars played three games and
won two during the week: the Yacht
Club played six and won one; the
Tomochichi played three and won all
OF them. Each team has now played
twenty-four games, and have had
equal chances. Thus it viii be seen
that the Yacht Club took the back
slide during the week and furnished
the games the others won.
The Tomochichis furnished the sur
prise of the week by rising out of the
"ruck." and wiping up everything be-
fore them in sensational games. Their
play speaks well for the league, and
demonstrated forcibly that the team
trailing farthest in the rear can put
up a record match when 1t takes the
notion. The wonder of the Tomochichi
friends, no doubt, is that they did not
take the notion before.
The Hussars still lead in the total
number of pins made, the average
number of pins per game for teams
and the average number of pins per
man for single games. OF the individ-
uals Felts leads for the Tomochichi,
Brewer for the Hussars and Austin
for the Yacht Club. Felts also leads
all players of the league, and is prov
ing himself one of its most consistent
bowlers, playing his regular good
game in every match regardless of adj
verse conditions. Driscoll holds second
highest place among individuals, but
as he has only played three games and
cannot now play in 90 per cent. of the
games played by his team during the
series, as required by the rules of the
league for him to become eligible to
an individual prize, he is not strictly
considered among the top notchers.
Brewer is third.
The team standings and the detail
averages of the teams and individuals
are as follows:

However, l, Of course, dressed at
once and was on deck about seven min
utes after the collision occurred. When
l arrived on deck the Saginaw had
drifted past the Hamilton's port side,
and was astern to the starboard. The
ship was about 1000 feet away and her
stern was well down and her bow
well up. On board the Hamilton we
still thought there was no immediate
danger menacing the Saginaw, and,
from an examination made, we knew
that our ship was perfectly safe. Then
came a whistle of distress and two
boats were Immediately launched from
the Hamilton, which had not circled
around the Saginaw, as was reported,
but which had always stood by ready
to help. Three boats were also launch
ed from the Saginaw.
THE Hamilton's lifeboats had hardly
been launched and were only about
twenty feet away when the shocking
finale came. 1t was a most spectacu-
lar and appalling sight, and carried an
guish to every heart. From the Sagi-
nav there came across the water
united dismal wall of mental agony
and then the Saginaw lurched forward
save the masts, to which were clingng
some of the half-clad passengers. One
of the trio of lifeboats launched from
the Saginaw met an awful fate. AS
the Inflated steamer settled and sank
the great suction drew under and cap
sized one of the boats, which contained
the first officer of the Saginaw and Ilf
teen colored women, and all, save one
of the women, were lost. Another one
of the women, the stewardess of the
Saginaw, was picked up in dying con-
dition. She died just as she was being
taken aboard. To her excitable action
is attributed the capsizing of the boat,
as it is said she chung, in her excite
ment, to one of the sides of the boat
and as she was woman of huge size
her weight was too much for the boat
to overcome the suction.
"Our two boats afforded rescue to a
number and brought them safely to
the Hamilton, where, with those saved
by the Saginaw'S two boats they were
Immediately cared for. The saved In

Savannah. 1t was thought the limit to
the number Of delegates and visitors
had been reached the night before,
but all yesterday they kept coming
even up to last night. with the result
that Savannah is now entertaining a
larger convention than it has ever had
before in its history.
A large number of the visitors have
registered at the Chamber of Com
merce bureau OF information in Chip
pewa Square. but not nearly so many
as will have registered should the
weather again become pleasant. The
condition of the weather is, in fact, a
source of complaint everywhere from
both delegates, visitors and citizens. 1t
prevented people going on the street,
to go and as for visiting any place for
pleasure, even though it be in the city,
few were found hardy enough.
Even the clerk in charge of the bu-
reau of information was finally

rain, wind and discomfort all the

JACKsoN-CoTHRAN WEDDING.

The wedding of Miss Gertrude Jack
son of Augusta to Mr. Walter s. Goth
ran of Rome, which was celebrated in
the Episcopal Church at Athens,
Thursday evening, Is OF interest to
many Savannahians. Miss jackson,
though a native of Augusta, has spent
a greater portion of the past few years
in Athens, where she has formed
many close friendships, not only
among the residents of that city, but
among the students at the Lucy Cobb
and the University. Mr.. Cothran is also
well known here, having made many
friends during his course at the Uni
versity.
After the ceremony there was a bril-
liant reception at the home of Capt.
and Mrs. w. w. Thomas on Milledge
avenue. Miss Saidee King was among
the Savannah guests present, and Mr..
Clarence S. Connerat was one of the
RrOOrnSmen.
