the office of Mr. w. A. Winburn, vice
president and traffic manager of the

partment was represented at the meet

thirtieth anniversary OF his ordination
to the priesthood. The ceremony will

high mass at the Cathedral of St John

Offices of the mass will be filled by
Catholic clergy of Savannah and
clergy from parishes outside the city.
Owing to the fact that Friday is a
holy day the clergy from the more
distant points in the diocese will be
unable to attend, but those from At
lanta, Augusta, Macon, Albany and
Brunswick will be present.

Vice President and General Manager
w. H. Peasants of the Ocean Steam
ship Company is in the city and has
announced a number of changes among
the officers of the line. Capt. George
c. Savage of the City of Memphis has
been appointed chief stevedore of the
company, reporting to Mr.. L. NJ. Err
skine; Capt. Askins of the Nacoochee
has been appointed captain of the
Memphis, Capt. Johnson of the Chatta-
hoochee has been put in command of
the Tallahassee, and First Officer
Ashby Burroughs of the City of Ma
con has been put in command of the
Chattahoochee. The changes will be-
come effective tomorrow.
Mr.. Peasants also announced that
the launching of the City of Column
bus, now building at the yards of the
Delaware Shipbuilding Company, at
Chester, will take place either Jan. 20
or %, and that Capt. Fisher, now in
command of the City of Macon, will
probably be given command, or at
least will have the refusal of it. The
change will not take place for some
time, however, as even after the ship Is
launched it will be some three months
before she will be put on the regular
run between New York and Savannah.
With Capt. Fisher in charge OF the
new ship another vacancy will be
made and this will be filled by promo
ton though just who will get the place
will not be decided until the time
comes. 1t is hardly likely that the
new officer will get the Macon, but
that one of the older captains will be
placed in command, which means an
other change along the line.
The new tug of the Ocean Steam
ship Company, the William M. Wadley,
launched from the Delaware Ship
building yards some three weeks ago,
reached New York yesterday several
hours overdue because of the great
amount of ice in the Delaware. Mr..
Peasants says that business with the
Ocean Steamship Co. is all that could
be desired and that the line has all
it can take care of.

Citizens Bank stockholders buying out
one of the other banks. 1t is said that
Mr.. T.. p. Rentz, who will be president
of the Citizens Bank. has offered to
purchase the stock of one of the other
banks, paying $155 for each share of
the par value. of 800. If the stock
is purchased by Mr.. Rentz the bank
will go out Of business.

that Mr.. Martin was not justified in
stabbing him. This is said in justice
