Poisoned by n Kiss.

We have a very pathetic story of a
father, Andrew Marks, who has been
poisoned by a kiss from his son, who
was dying in the agonies of hydro
phobia. Mr.. Marks is a farmer of Sun
bury, Pa, n is now in New York for
treatment at the Pasteur institute. lie
is accompanied by another son, who
fears that he. also, may have contract
ed the disease.
1t appears that on June 21st thu son
Of Mr.. Marks, now deceased, was try
ing to protect two little girls from the
attack of a dog, when the dog sprang
at his throat. In the Scuf1e received
a slight bite on the forearm. Two
months later he died in agony Just
before he died he seized his father and
kissed him. The father lac a sore spot
on his tongue caused by a broken
tooth. and this, it is said, has been
gradually getting worse. The son who
is with him in New York fears that he
was poisoned by using a hyodermic
syringe tha had been used on his d
ceased brother.
We are told that neither one of these
men is seriously i'll, but their cases 2f-
ford a new opportunity for observation
| and for the contribution of facts TO the
thing as hydrophobia. it being the con-
tention Of some that it is merely lock-
| observation-disclosures.

VERDICT AGAINST
INSURANCE COMPANY.

A verdict of $3.50 was rendered yes
terday in favor of Hymen Leader,
against the Insurance Company of
North America. Leader had brought
suit for $500 in the City Court, but
the jury in the case only returned with
a verdict for the amount named above.
Osborne & Lawrence appeared for the
plaintiff and Judge S. B. Adams for the
defendant.
Leader was insured in three COM
panies, when, on Nov. 13. last, there
was a fire in the saw mill of ]. j. Cum
mings & Co., at Higgston, the mill be-
ing within few hundred feet of Lead
er's store. Fearing that some of his
stock might be damaged by the fire,
Leader hastily removed them, and
though the fire did not reach them, yet
he claimed that they were deprecfat-
ed from 80 1-3 to IS per cent. by rea-
son of the handling made necessary by
the proximity of the fire. The stock
of ribbons and laces was slightly dam
aged, and the clothing and shoes con-
siderably so by reason of the haste
with which it was necessary to move
the goods, and the lack of time in
which to move them with the proper
care.

DOthan Guards and Fort Deposit
Company Will Arrive Monday.
Post Adjutant Coney received COM
munication yesterday from Maj. A. L.
Williams of Dothan, Ala, who COM
mands the battalion in which are the
Dothan Guards. In this letter he said
that he will arrive Monday in charge
of two teams from Alabama, which,
under the order of Gov. Jelks, will
participate in the interstate shoot.
The Dothan Guards and the Fort
Deposit team. the Lowndes Rifles. will
represent the state of Alabama at the
contests. There are twenty men on
the teams, all of whom are qualified
shots. Their being sent at the gov
ernment's expense relieves them of all
expense, except such as they incur at
the range.
Col. w. w. Brandon, adjutant gen.
eral Of Alabama, is also expected dur
ing the shoot. News from neighbor-
ing states is very encouraging, and
with the detail remaining over from
the state shoot the success of the
shoot is assured.
Riflemen who have noted the wealth
er for the past week say that in their
experience one week of rain at this
season of the year is never followed by
more rain. If this be true, next week

Vulnerable and his name appears often
among, the list of injured while on
duty" On April 26, 1892, Pringle, VINO
is a driver, and who at that time was
in charge of the engine at No. sta
tion on Barnard street, had call
equally as close as the one yesterday.
While exercising the engine horses
on Barnard and Henry streets they
ran away and at Whitaker and Henry
streets the heavy engine was
turned oyer. Although Driver
Pringle remained in his seat,
he escaped serious injury. On
Dec. 2, the year before, he was badly
kicked by a vicious horse and at that
time, too, 1t was believed that he had
been fatally injured. Twice last year
Pringle was injured while on duty.
On July Is horse stepped on his foot,
badly hurting it, and on Oct. IS piece
Of lumber fell upon him. This accident
confined him to his home for nine
days. SO
Pringle himself does not know how
he fell from the bridge yesterday. 1t
was his day off and he had gone for
walk west of the city. He was rest
ing on the bridge when in some man
ner he lost his balance and fell to the
ground.

CITY OF AUGUSTA
REPORTED SOLD.

RumOr Says Kansas City, NacOOchee
and ChnttahOOchee Are on the
Market.
There was rumor last night that the
steamship City of Augusta of the
Ocean Steamship Line had been sold
and that the Kansas City and Ma
coochee. now running on the Savan-
nah New York line, and the Chatta-
hoochee, running between New York
and Boston, had been offered for sale.
The rumor could not be confirmed,
though It is known that the policy of
the steamship company is to replace
its smaller ships with vessels of great
er cargo capacity like the City of
Memphis and City of Macon and the
two now building in Roach's yards ut
Chester. The Kansas City, while one
of the most popular passenger ships on
the line, is lacking in freight capacity
compared with the Memphis, the Ma
con and the Savannah. Col Lawton
left last night for New York, but could
not be seen in reference to the report
ed sale of the Augusta.

SEIZURES OF
0LE0MARGARlNE,
Because IL Was Taxed Under Wrong
Revenue Law.

becAube NJ WINS lANeu DhutE w EohB
Revenue Law.
The oleomargarine seized in a local
dealers place some days ago, an ac-
count of which has been given in the
Morning News. was because the prod
uct had been sold when it was not
taxed according to law. The law re-
quires that the colored oleomargarine
be taxed 10 cents on the pound, while
that which is uncolored is taxed at
only a quarter of a cent per pound.
The 42O pounds which were seized
were of the colOred variety, while it
was taxed as uncolored, the govern
ment thereby losing 9% cents on each
pound. 1t is the belief of the custom
officials here that the merchant from
whose stock the seizure was made was
entirely innocent in the matter and
that the law had been evaded was no
fault of his. Under the law unless
a bond of $3.50 is filed with the collect
ors here within a certain time the
amount seized will be offered for sale
by the deputy collector who made the
seizure.
If bond is filed the one from whom
the oleo was taken may take the mat
ter into the courts and fight the affair
out there. 1t is not probable that
any bond viii be given in this case,
though some such action may be taken
in a few days. 1t is understood that
the company from which the local
merchant secured the stock which he
revenue officers seized has reimbursed
him for whatever loss he has sustained
through their attempt to sell the coll
ored oleo as an uncolored product.

letter is signed by Acting Mayor Dixon.
1t calls attention to the fact that
the next convention of the League of
Georgia Municipalities will be held in
this city and invites those who are not
now members of the league to join.
1t is Acting Mayor Dixon's idea to
send out letter each month and tell
of the advantages Savannah offers the
pleasure-seeker. In this way Mr..
Dixon expects to be able to work up
a great deal of enthusiasm and have
the meeting in this city more largely
attended than any yet held. The let

by the barking of his bull dog and
on going out to investigate found that
he had captured one 'possum and had
another one freed in the grape vines
Servants on the premises also heard
the noise and came out to assist in
the capture. The sight of 'possum
made their mouths water, and visions
of the denizens of the swamp trars-

Attention of the Negroes Especially
Called to Law.
During the trial of negro in the
City Court yesterday, Judge Norwood
took occasion to call attention to the
Calvin vagrancy law. The negro was
being tried on a charge of vagrancy
and the judge decided that this was a
particularly appropriate time to make
the provisions of the law known to
the colored element and he read the
law in full to them. He stated that it
was for their information and he hop
ed that they would carefully consider
1t and govern themselves and their
actions by its provisions.
The law is plain and explicit denom-
mating all as Migrants who have no
visible means of support unless it can
be shown that bona fide attempt
was made to secure work at a reason
able price for services and the attempt
ended in failure. The law gives the
judge power to impose penalties on
those violating it's provisions. After
reading the law the prisoner was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $25 or take the
alternative of nine months on the pub
lie works.

Chairman Tiedeman stated at the
meeting that he believes the fair can
be operated without loss to the SUBJ

is loss it will be a trifling one. Those
who attended the meeting appeared en-
