Al McMurray, writing from New

he is anxious to come to Savannah and

for he will not. give either of them a

FOR HUNTING ON
COUNTY FARM.
SuPerintenden to Issue Warrants
Against Trespassers.

superintendent to Issue Warrants
Against Trespassers.
The County Commissioners are de-
termined to stop shooting on the ooun-
ty farm. For a long time they have
been worried with trespassers, and
complaints have frequently been
lodged with the board. The commits
sioners have been constrained to be
lenient, thinking that the nuisance
would eventually be abated, but con-
trarily. it has of late become worse.
and at yesterdays meeting steps were
taken which will probably result in the
discontinuance of the custom.
BY a resolution of the board, Super
intendent of Public Works Chaplin
was instructed to issue warrants
against all parties who have hereto
fore, or who hereafter, trespass upon
the county farm. Accordingly Super
intendent Chaplin had warrants issued
for Fred j. Langstetter and Henry f.
Lendeman, both of whom he said were
hunting on the county farm a week
ago. There are two or three others
who will also be arrested.
Sunday is the day on which the
trespassers usually come, though they
90 not unit tnelr visits TO the SAP
bath. Not only do they hunt on the
land for robins and doves, but, when
game is scarce, amuse themselves by
shooting the signs from the trees. Ere
quently they have shot among the con-
Victs while at work. and only recently
hunter sent a full charge into a
force of men, as a result of which Sew
eral were struck, ana one man lost his
sight.
1t has been but a short time ago
since a party of hunters went to a
dredge which was lying on the Casey
canal and, throwing all of the tools
out of the dredge, riddled the cabin
with shot. These are but a few of
the numerous depredations commit
ted by trespassers. 1t is against the
law to hunt on the land, and even
were the malicious mischief feature
eliminated the commissioners are OPP
posed to any form of hunting on the
farm.
A short time ago young man was
arrested for hunting on the farm. 1t
appeared, however, that because of
the fact that the land was not posted
in all respects as required by law, that
he could not be held Accordingly the
commissioners took the precaution to
post the land as provided by the
statue, and a plea of lack of notice
will now no longer be entertained.

WAS ALLOWED HIS COMMISSION.
Land Case Decided by Justice
BeVans.


Bevans.
Justice Bevans yesterday heard the
case of ]. A. McGregor VS.. J. A.
Smith, a suit for commissions on a
land sale in the sum of $50, and render
ed a verdict for the plaintiff.
The evidence developed that Mr.. Nc
Gregor. who lives in Statesboro. had
entered into an agreement with Smith
to sell a piece of land for which serv-
ice. he was to receive a commission of
per cent. of the price brought. Mr..
McGregor advertised the property in
his paper, and while the lad" was run
ming, and he was making an effort to
sell the property for Smith, the latter
sold the land, and refused to pay the
commission upon the ground that Mr..
McGregor had not made the sale.
Mr.. McGregor claimed, that, while
he did not sell the property himself, his
advertising had been instrumental in
bringing about the deal. He also
proved that a contract with Smith spec
flied he should receive the commission
the property
The contract was in evidence. Smith
said that he did not know at the time
the same was made that 1t bind him
except should McGregor make the sale
personally. In view of the evidence and
the contract there was nothing to do
but find for the plaintiff which was
done, in the amount alleged.

Barrett and Miller will have the honor
of being the first to do battle there
1t is proposed by the club promoters
to make the opening of the new CLUB
room a big affair and pull off three
bouts one for six rounds and another
of ten as preliminaries to the main go
of twenty rounds. The ten-round match
will be between Pat Raedy and Fred

THREE VERDICTS OF DIVORCE.
Unusual state of Affairs in the Supe-
rior Court.

Unusual state of Affairs in the Supe-
rior Court.
A most unusual status rerum be-
came apparent in the divorce case of
Emma Brown against William Brown
in the Superior Court yesterday morn
ing when after a second verdict of
divorce had been rendered by the jury
empanelled and sworn for the trial of
the case, the court discovered that the
first verdict in the case had been rem
dered last December, and that the
second verdict was therefore rendered
at the same term of court that the
first one was.
The statute provides that two YER
diets of divorce shall be necessary be-
fore a decree of total divorce may be
entered by the judge of the court,
and that these verdicts shall be rem
dered at different terms of the court.
When Emma Brown gets her divorce
from William Brown she will proba-
bly, be the first wife who ever secured
three verdicts of divorce against
single husband.
same term of court arose, of course,
through misunderstanding, the at
torney who had been engaged by the
libellant having left the city for a few
days, and instructed another attorney
to look after his business. 1t seems
that he looked after it not wisely but
too well. Judge Barrow issued an or
der vacating the verdict.

TERMINALS DIVIDED.
Central Railroad Takes Over Tween
ty Odd Steamship Clerks.

ty Odd Steamship Clerks.
The division of the Ocean Steamship
Company's terminals between. the
steamship company and the Central
of Georgia Railway went into effect
yesterday. The force of employees was
divided the day before, but started
work under the new auspices yester-
day morning.
The change means that the two
companies are going back to first prin-
ciples, that certain territory has been
transferred to the railroad, which in
future will handle the export business,
while the steamship company retains
control of such part of the property
as is needed for the conduct of the
coastwise business.
The division of forces resulted in
the transfer of some twenty-one men
from the control of the steamship
company to that of the railroad COM
pany. 1t is understood that all of the
clerks of each road have been taken
care of. The change was decided on
at the annual meeting of the Ocean
Steamship Company Monday.
Another change that will shortly
take place in the force of the Ocean
Steamship Company as the result of
the abolishing of the purchasing
agents office, which was decided on a
short time ago and which will go in
to effect March /, will be the transfer
of Mr.. Alfred r. Storey, port steward
for the company at this
city, to similar, though more
important, position in New York, and
the appointment to the Savannah place
of Mr. Richard Webb, Jr., formerly
chief clerk in the office of the pur-
chasing agent.

A BRICK WALL
May Prevent Athletic Club from Oc-
cupying Whitfield Hall.


Acting upon the report of the archi-
tect who visited the Whitfield building
yesterday at the corner of Whitaker
and State streets and reported upon
the cost of transferring the upper floor
into a club room, it is now likely the
place will not be accepted as the new
club room of the Savannah Athletic
Club.
The architect says there is a heavy
brick wall separating the two halls it
is proposed to turn into one, to be re-
moved. The wall runs through the
ceiling and roof and will necessitate
considerable expense to remove, be-
sides the other expenses incurred in
fitting up the place. This is regretted
by the club promoters, as they had
fully expected to decide on the loca-
ton, and even as it is they may have
to take the hall if no other is available
for the purpose.
President Mcbride, in the afternoon,
visited the top floor of the Schwarz
building, at the corner of Bull and
York streets, and is much impressed
with it, except that it is rather small.
He. however, believes that by build
ing the gallery seats around the four
sides of the wall, with the ring and
box seats in the center it could be
made to answer the purpose very well.
The locality is the best that could be
selected, and it will be decided to-day
whether or not the hall will be taken.

then until the 18th. In the summer
time Collier is captain of the life-sav-
ing corps at Rockaway Beach, and
has in time saved number of lives,
for which he has been given medals.
He is big, good-natured fellow, and
should put up hot argument with
Himmler."
Jack Lowery.
Jack Lowery, the featherweight rep
resentative, is built on the line of Owen
Zeigler. and is a husky bunch of we'll
developed muscle. He has an enormous
neck for boy of his size and weight,
but it stands him we'll when an oppo-
nent crosses his right to the Jaw. In
action he resembles FeltZ, and is always
coming, anxious to swap punch for
punch. At in work he is Lennys mas
ter, and is anxious to win out, for he
wants a match with Bonnie Yanger,
and can get it if he is successful in the
coming bout. This bout will be even
faster than the I4enny- Callahan go,
which is still fresh in the mind of Sa-
Vannah sports"

NEW YORK'S BALL TEAM.
The Players who VIII Arrive Here
March IL for Practice.

The Players Who VIII Arrive Here
March IL for Practice.
r. P. Bresnahan. one of the crack
catchers of the New York Baseball
Club of the National League, accompa-
MED by his bride. has returned to the
city from "a trip through Florida, and is
again at the Pulaski, where he will re-
main until the arrival of his team here
on March IS for it's preliminary spring
practice.
Mr.. Bresnahan is enthusiastic over
the outlook for New York this season.
and says that the team will be the best
that has represented that city in sew
eral years. About twenty-five men will
be brought here for practice. and out
side of the regular team already select
ed, those who develop the best will be
kept on the reserve list and the others
disposed of.
The regular players now signed and
who will be here for practice, are War
ner, Bowerman. Robinson and Bres-
nallan, catchers; Matherwson, McGin-
nifty, Cronin, Taylor and Miller, pitch
ers; Mccain. first base; McGraw, Sec
ond base; Gilbert or Mertes, short-stop;
Lauder, third base: Mertes, left field;
VanHaltran. center field. and Brown,
right field. The other players coming
will be brought along for trial, and just
who they are Mr.. Bresnahan does not
know.
Mr. Bresnahan says he is confident
New York will win out in the fight now
going on between his team and Wash
ington for Delehanty, the great fielder.
1t appears that Delehanty has made
contract with the New York team, but
that Washington has a previous claim
on him. Del. has borrowed quite a
sum Of money in advance from New
York, and unless the Washington team
makes it good which is doubtful, there
is but little question he win go back to
the Gotham aggregation.
McGraw will be captain of the team,
which will remain here about three
weeks, and then start homeward, play
ing games in several cities while en-
route. The team will come down by
rail this season instead of by water as
has been the custom in the past. The
salary roll of the club for the season
will be about $4,000. Mr.. Bresnahan
will superintend the preparation of the
Bolton Park grounds for the use of his
team.
