LlBERIAN COLONY CALLED
OFF FOR A WHILE.
The Colony ship Will Not Sail for n
Month Yet.

Month Yet.
The cargo of negroes from this and
other Southern states, which it was
proposed to ship from Savannah to
Liberia, next Tuesday, through the
Liberian Colonization Company, will
hot leave on that date, and it may be
thirty days or more before the party
Will get off.
In explaining the cause of delay,
Agent Pierce of the colonization COM
pany, said yesterday that the major
ity of those who had signed up for
the voyage, have notified the head Of
flee of the company that they have
been unable to dispose of their realty
and have asked for a postponement of
the trip.
This, the agent claims, the company
has consented to do and the new date
or sailing, he says, will not be an
nounced until the entire party is ready
to leave. The most of the emigrants
are in Alabama and Texas, and are
mainly country negroes, though there
are some in the cities who are going
Very few will go from Savannah, and
the Liberian colonizer finds it a hard
matter to interest the local colored
population in his scheme.
In postponing the sailing date Mr.
Pierce says that the company is DOING
1t voluntarily as the contracts signed
by the voyagers calls for the emf
grants to be in Savannah on or before
Jan. 20, prepared and ready for en-
barkation, and that had the company
desired it could have called the con.
tracts of those not ready to sail void
There are said to be a few over 800
who have paid up their passage.

ALL PRISONERS
WERE ACQUITTED.
Criminal Trials in City Court Were
Productive of no Sentences.

Productive of no Sentences.
The City Court was occupied
throughout yesterday with the trial
of criminal cases by jury. AS the re-
suit of the session, which lasted from
10 o'clock in the morning until 6 in
the afternoon, not one of the five ac-
cused, who faced a jury of his peers,
was found guilty. Four were acquitted,
while the jury was unable to agree on
the guilt or innocence of the fifth.
The case in which the mistrial re-
suited was that of Alexander Moran,
who was charged with assaulting and
beating ]. j. McMahan with a ham,
mer. The men had an alteration,
which resulted in blows. There was
single eye witness to the affair." and
1T was on her testimony that the jury
could not agree. The jury stood seven
for acquittal and five for a verdict of
guilty, when, at o'clock they agreed
that they could not agree.
II. B. Dixon, who was tried on a
charge of assaulting James Stewart,
was declared not guilty after thor
ough investigation of the charge. He
was represented by r. l.. Colding.

10000 Per Bottle.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes it's value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy 1t from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnsen's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute.-ad.

CITY WANTS AN
ASPHALT PLANT.
Asphalt Streets Are Badly in Need of
Attention Now.

Attention Now.
For several weeks the streets and
lanes department of the city and the
director of public works have been
urging the Warren-Scharf Asphalt
Company to at once repair the asphalt
streets in Savannah. The city has a
ten-year contract with the company to
do this work.
The asphalt streets are badly in need
of attention and the company that is
under contract to keep them in good
condition is as usual backward in do
ing the work. This is due to the fact
that the concern has no plant here.
Mayor Myers is of the opinion that the
city will eventually have to have it's
own plant.
The work can only be done satisfac-
torily by the city, and under such cir
cumstances it would have to get a
plant of its own. This will probably
happen when the contract with the
Warren Scharf people expires. Mr..
Myers says that within a very few
years some of the asphalt streets will
have to be resurfaced and that the
most economical plan, in his opinion,
will be for the city to do the work Of
all the paving material that has been
used in Savannah the vitrified brick
has given the greatest satisfaction.

PLANS FOR HUSSARS' BAZAAR.
Feb. IA Will Probably BE Mystic
Shriners' Night.

A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of the Georgia Hussars' bazaar was
held last night at the armory. The
work of the various committees was
discussed and details for the bazaar were
arranged. A large list of contributions
was reported.
The question, whether there should
be a dancing hall in connection with
the bazaar was considered, and it was
almost unanimously decided in favor
of dancing. The upper floor of the
club house with the piazza on the south
side inclosed, will be used for dane
ing.
One of the features of the bazaar
will be the attendance of the Mystic
Shriners during the visit to Savannah
of the imperial potentate of the order.
on the night of Feb. IA. This will
probably be known as Shriners' Night.
The lady friends of the Hussars are
taking an active interest in the bazaar,
which promises to be a success, ex-
ceeding that of any that the troop has
ever held.

REUNITED NEAR DEATH
AFTER LONG SEPARATION LIEUT..
GREENLEAF WEEDS FORMER WIFE
AT SAVANNAH HOSPITAL.
WIFE CAME FROM ILLINOIS IN RE-
SPoNSE TO LETTER

Pathetic Ceremony Performed Yes
terday AfternOon-The Marriage
Vows Repeated After Thirty
Years PaItis Separated Four
Years AgO-His Illness Indirectly
Responsible for Reconciliation.
Stricken Man Is Desperately Ill
and Mrs. GreenIeaf VIII Remain
with Him.
A marriage, possessing both pathe-
tic and dramatic features was solemn
ICED yesterday. when Lieut.. Frederick
w. Greenleaf. U. S. N. was married
to Mrs. Mary Irvine Greenleaf at the
Savannah Hospital. The ceremony,
which was performed as the groom lay
on his sick bed from which it is feared
he may never rise. marked the reunion
of man and wife after long separa-
ton, the parties having been divorced
an Augusta four years ago.
The ceremony was performed by
Judge G.. Noble Jones, in the presence
of one or two of the intimate friends
of the contracting parties at 2:SO o'clock
in the afternoon. Mrs. Green
leaf had come to Savannah
from her home in Illinois in
response to a message from the
stricken man. She found him in a pre-
carious condition, the physicians CIV
ing little hope for his recovery. Then
st was that the old love was lxindled
anew and she determined to again be-
come his wife, and attend his sick bed,
and, If possible, nurse him back to
health.
Married 30 Years Ago.
The parties were married thirty years
ago, and for many years their married
life was most happy one. Finally an
estrangement took place, and four
years ago the Hymenean knot was sew
cred by a decree of Richmond Superior
Court. During the past year the old
relations have been resumed to some
extent, the parties communicating by
mail in a desultory way. OF late the
estrangement has vanished, the con-
summation of the communications be-
ing desire on the part of both to live
the remainder of their lives together
again.
A few days ago Lieut.. Greenleaf
wrote to the woman who was yester-
day made his wife, asking her to come
back to him. She replied that she
would. and reached Savannah from her
home in Carroll county. Illinois. yes
terday morning. The marriage license
had already been procured, and as soon
as the justice of the peace could be
summoned the ceremony was per-
formed.

but has resided in Savannah for two
years. He has been during that time
In charge of the photographic office of

more than forty years. He was APP

and served as a lieutenant for thirteen
years, when, in 1884 he was placed on

the Spanish War he was reappointed.
and has since that time been in the
service.
For several years his health has not
been good, but it was not until a short
while ago that his illness assumed a
grave aspect. He was removed to the
hospital where he is now in what is
considered a dying condition. Mrs.
Greenleaf will remain in Savannah,
until there is change in her hus-
bands condition.
