BURNING BROOM

Little EUIaIia Crawford Burned on
Neck, Hands and Face.
Eulalia, the two-year old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs Robert A Crawford,
was badly, although not dangerously
burned, on the face, neck and hands
early last night at the home of the
parents, No. PIP Park avenue, west.
In extinguishing the flames Mrs.
Crawford was burned on the hands
The child was taken to the Park
Avenue Pharmacy, across the street.
where the burns were temporarily
dressed. Later DR.. w. B. Crawford
attended Mrs. Crawford and the little
one.
Little Eulalia was in room with her
mother and was playing with a small
broom, which she stuck in the fire
In a moment her dress was ignited
Mrs Crawford was only a few feet
away, and but for her presence in the
room the little girl would probably
have been dangerously burned.

ALDERMEN ARE IN DOUBT

No Certainty That There VIII BE nm
Election Tonight.

In the event that City Council de-

its meeting tonight he will be chosen
from the following applicants: H. o.
Young, M. NJ. Ferguson, H. Bartlett,
T. c. Dickson. T. j. Naughtin, w. O.
Hawley, Thomas Robbins, L. D. Jones
and James B. Francis.
But it is by no means certain that
the aldermen will decide to fill the Of
flee at this meeting. A majority of
Council appear to be decidedly uncer-
tain as to who should be elected and
it seems likely that there will be an
other delay Still the situation is
very uncertain and nothing can be
told until the aldermen get together.
If Council decides not to make a Sc
lection at this time another election
will have to be advertised and other
candidates will probably materialize.

DEPOSITORY is KNOWN
COUNTERFEIT BILL MAY YET
CAUSE A SENSATION.
SECRET SERVICE AT WORK.
EVIDENCE AT HAND WHICH WILL
NOT BE DIVULGED YET.

Incidents Connected with the Pas
snEe of the Counterfeit 800 Bill
which Senator Tinman Received
May Lead to Sensational COmpIi-
cations-BanI1 Has Already been
Reimbursed by the DepOsitOr,
Who VIII BE Called on to State
from Whom lie Received the Bill.
Though Senator Tillman has been
reimbursed for the "forny" 800 bill
that was unintentionally handed him
during his recent visit to Savannah,
the matter is not yet ended, and there
may be some rather startling develop
ments in the course of a few days,
when the government secret service
men get to work on the case.
There was a persistent rumor yes
terday that other counterfeit 500 bills
of the same series as the one which
Senator Tillman received had been dis
covered in Savannah, but none of the
bank officials would admit that they
were caught with any.
The officers of the Commercial Bank
say they have a positive clew as to
the party who deposited the counter
felt bill, and he win furnish the first
clew towards the tracing of the real
counterfeiters. The party who de-
posted the bill has already made good
with the bank, but has not yet stated
from whom he got the bill. This very
important piece of evidence, however,
will be secured by government secret
service men who are already at work
on the case.
Bank on the Lookout.
The directors of the bank are fully
satisfied that there was no lack of
watchfulness on the part of Cashier
Carter or the teller that was RESPONSE
BILE for the bill getting through them
without detection. They believe that
it would have passed any teller in
the city, just as it passed at the Com
mercial Bank, and as it passed the
financial clerk of the Senate.
In his letter to the bank Senator
Tillman stated that he had intended
depositing the money before he left Sa-
Vannah, but overlooked it. Had he
done this the counterfeit would not
have been detected yet.
Those who have seen the bill say
that there is a possibility that it has
been floating around for years without
detection. HAD senator Itllman depOS-
tied the money in Savannah or at
Clemson College, the gentleman who
originally deposited it at the bank here
would not have been out 500.
May Turn IL Sensation.
The bill which Senator Tillman re-
ceived is the first one of that series
that has come to the notice of the de-
partment in several years, and it was
believed that all of them had been de-
stroyed.
There are certain incidents connected
with the matter which the bank Off
Gals are not ready to state yet but
If their suspicious are correct, the man
who Chief Willde of the secret serv-
ice has ordered to Savannah, will I'M
earth some rather sensational facts.
Just when this plain clothes agent of
the government will get to Savannah
no one will know. He may already be
here, and may work for several days
before even the bank officials know
that he is in the city.
There will no doubt be a general ex-
animation of 500 notes to-day when
the banks open their vaults, and if ru-
mors are confirmed there will be more
work for the secret service man.

Christmas Trees Scarce.

Information received in Savannah
within the last few days makes the
outlook for Christmas trees this season
rather unpromising. For several years
it has been customary for local dealers
to secure numbers of young spruce
pines from Maine, and these, because
of their symmetry of shape and beauty
of foliage have commanded a good
price, but this season it is stated that
because of the amount of snow in the
regions where the trees are secured the
supply will be limited and as a conse-
quence the prices will be much higher
than usual.

important Decisions.

Judge Stewart, of Boise, render
an Important decision last week
bearing upon the right of board
OF county commissioners to refuse
q saloon licepce because Of the
character Of the place for which it
is sought. Judge Steward finds
that the board has no authority
to withhold q license because a
place is noted to be disOrderly.
Judge Steele, of this district has
render ed decision that is OF I'M
portance to borl overs and lenders
The import of the decision is as
follows: hIf note and mortgage
be given, and after lapse OF time
a new note is executed in place o.
the old one, but no new mortgage
be given, the old mortgage will re
main a lien to secure the payment
OF the new note; the note last givel
is but an evidence of the indebted
ness, and the Indebtedness remain
although evidenced by diferen
promisory note, and in' the case a
bar, il no new mortgage has bee'
attempted giving of q new mortgag
when for any reason it becomes IN
effectual, should not effect the lie
existing by virtue Of the prior mort
gage.

How Cheap Baking Powder
Is made.

- '''S~~'
A recent seizure of a lot Of
"cheap" baking powders by the
authorities of a neighboring city
has exposed the character Of the
low priced brands Of baking pow
ders which many manufacturers
are offering throughout the country,
The price OF the powders first
attracted attention to them. Samp-
les we're taken and analysed. The
official report of the analysis show
ed the stuff to be "alum powders, !"
composed chiefly of alum, sulphur
ic acid and pulveri.ed rock. The
powders were declared dangerous
to health and several thousand
mounds were confiscated and de-
stroyed.
Rhysicians have frequently eau.
toned consumers against mixing
food with these so-called cheap
baking powders. They are al
found. when analysed, to contain
large. percentages of alum and sui
phHric acid to- which are added
various sorts OF filling matter some
times both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream OF tarta
baking powders. are the most eco
nomicai and wholesome and shoul'
ALWAYS be selected for use. The.
will be found cheaper in the end
besides making the food better an
more healthful.
