COULD NOT PAY 81:
SICK MANS BED TAKEN.
Jesse Armstrong Failed to Pay Two
InstaIIments on Furniture.

Jesse Armstrong Failed to Pay Two
InstaIIments on Furniture.
Suffering from a sprained back and
other ailments which had necessitated
his confinement for four weeks, Jesse
Armstrong, who lives in Anderson lane,
had his bed taken from under him, and
was left to lie upon the floor because
he failed to make two payments Of 81
each to the firm from whom he had
bought his scanty furniture a few
weeks ago.
The matter was brought to the attan-
ton of the police yesterday shortly
after the merciless visit of the furni-
ture man had been made, and the am
bulance was Immediately despatched to
take the sick man to the Georgia In
Urinary.
Armstrong claims that he purchased
the furniture in good faith. and had
made his payments regularly until he
was unable to do so. Several weeks
ago he fell from a wagon, and sus-
tanned injuries to his back and head
which at first gave indications of prov
ing very serious. Up to that time he
had he says, diligently paid 81 week
for his furniture.
DR.. A. A. Morrison, who has been at
tending the man, said that he was to-
tally unable to work. The furniture
man called at the house and asked for
the money. The man explained his in
ability to pay, but it was no go. He
was told that he must pay up or hand
over the furniture, and the money not
being forthcoming. the bed was torn
down, and, with other furniture, pack
ed in a wagon and taken away.

discussed number of bills presented
for consideration. Among the bills
were some for expenses incurred by

directed to refer the bills to the FL
nance Committee of the Chamber,
which was given power to act. Chair
man Leopold Adler said afterward
that there was nothing done at the
meeting of general interest, the time
being occupied in considering bills

be marketed this season east of the
Mississippi river was received yester-
day morning and at noon was auc-

New York steamer that sails. AS was
stated in yesterdays Morning News
the cotton was raised by Deal jackson,
the negro farmer Of Dougherty county,

to impress on the large circle of bid
ders and lookers-on who attended the
sale, that they were being exceptional
ly favored in being allowed to bid for
the bale. The bidding was started at
12c, and then went UP by halves and
quarters, until the sale price was

The bale was classed by the commit
tee of the Cotton Exchange as fully
middling, mixed color, and gin cut,

A CANVAS TAILOR GOWN.

A chic tailor gown in brown can
vas displays unique sleeve, as well
as waist trimming. Above the close
fitting cuff, which extends to the ell
bow, are four circular flounces edged
with stitched bands of taffeta. The
ruffles are graduated, falling in rip
pied effect at the back, and their ar
rangement adds to the significance of
the prophecy that the fullness OF
sleeves of the coming season will be
shifted from below to above the ell
bow.
The waist is laid in narrow box
plaits from the bust to the waist line
over the shoulder are four capelets
probably made upon the same founda-
ton which has served for the large
circular collar all season. These cape
let's, like the sleeve trimming. are
stitched with taffeta and the stitch
ing is carried across a soft brown
mousseline vest in crisis cross fashion.
Only at the throat is there a bit OF
contrasting color employed in tur-
quoise blue piping.

Manager Seeskind has not yet re-
turned from the North, but will like
ly be in the city next week and comes
ready to start the season with rush.
The first performance will be given
by Hermann, the magician, Aug. q,
and after that there will be all sorts
of plays and entertainments. The
theater will be made as comfortable
as possible with electric fans and pa
irons will not find an evening spent
indoors unpleasant.
In the absence of Mr.. Seeskind those
in charge at the theater could not tell
exactly to what extent the decorations
of the interior would be carried, but
the impression was that white paint
and gliding were to be used extensive
ly.
The new floor being put on the stage
will add to the looks as well as the
strength and 1t is understood that the
carpenter work may extend to improv-
ing some of the dressing rooms that
may need repairs.

new floor on the stage and otherwise
repairing and Frightening up things on

cradle decoration, making it appear

season. On the stage, as soon as the
carpenter work is finished the new
scenery will be put into position and
the new curtain hung at the pros
cenium arch. The scenery is in three
full sets, with side pieces and draper
les, and comes from a well-known stu
dio at the North and will be the
handsomest ever put on the stage in

ARCHITECT WHOEVER
AND GERMANIA BUILDING.

Editor Morning News: A wrong i'm
preston seems to exist as to my po-
sition regarding the labor employed
on the Germania Bank building, and
with a view to correcting that i'm
preston 1 respectfully request you to
publish this letter.
1t is the duty of an architect to see
that the work on building is carried
out In accordance with the plans and
specifications, both as to workman
ship and material: and as supervising
architect of the Germanla Bank build
ing my transactions are entirely with
the contractor, the employment of la
Dor being a matter between the con-
tractor and his employees. AS long as
the work is performed in a thorough
and workmanlike manner it is imma-
terial to me whether the men en-
ployed are union or non-union.
On the Germania Bank building, the
contractor, Mr.. wilkins, residing in
Atlanta, my instructions have been
given to his foreman, he being local
ly in charge of the work. On several
recent visits to the building l discov-
cred that portions of the work did
not come up to the requirements of
! the specifications, and after having
! considerable OF the work torn down
and done over without improvement
L was obliged to notify Contractor
Wilkins direct of the unsatisfactory
! conditions of affairs. Mr.. wilkins on
receipt of my letter promptly came
to Savannah and took immediate
steps to correct the existing difficulty.
Fortunately my position as architect
does not require me to treat with the
labor question. l am concerned only
in the character of the workmanship.
and all work under my supervision
must come up to the requirements Of
specifications or otherwise be reject
ed, regardless of union or non-union
workmen. Respectfully.

! Supervising Architect of the Germania
Bank building

PLEASURES OF TYBEE.

With Dancing and Moonlight StrOIIs
Last Evening Passed Very Agree
ably.
Twice gayety seems to have no lessen
.,g with the waning of the season,
,nune lovers of the dance finding it
.ru d most agreeable place to spend
,be summer evenings. Last night at
,be weekly hotel ball the pavilion was
crowded with dancers and the scene
lively enough to make one forget that
simmer is passing and to ignore some
of the discomforts that the declining
season brings.
There was compensation even for mos
ouitoes in the beauty of the night, with
the moon nearly full and high in the
heavens and a broad shining stretch of
beach below. Most of the young peo-
ME as well as the older ones, found the
beach more inviting than the pavilion,
and after dance or two could be seen
strollng back and forth in the moon
light in pleasant tete-a-tete chat, or
sitting on the board walk, out of the
glare Of the electric lights. The even
jne proved altogether one of the most
enjoyable of the season.
