HELPED BUILD SAVANNAH.
Mai. John CunningI.am's Part fin the
City's Commercial Progress.

Ctty's Commercial Progress.
Maj. John Cunningham Of Decatur,
was in the city yesterday attending to
business matters, and in his spare
moments called on several of his old
friends. The major, as all older citi-
zens know, was nearly all his life a
resident of Savannah, and it is doubt
full If the city ever had a more pa
triotic citizen. He was a member of
the firm of Claghorn & Cunningham,
ship chambers and grocers, and largely
interested in steamers plying to Florida
and other undertakings. He was for
years the managing director of the
Central Railroad Bank, when It was
the most important financial institution
in Georgia.
Speaking of the growth of the re-
sources and manufactures of the coun-
try, Maj. Cunningham said that in 1847
his firm had the contract from the
Treasury Department for supplying
the Martins Industry iLightship.''
Martins Industry is a dangerous sand
reef, about ten miles off shore from
the entrance to Port Royal sound, and
still has lightship to warn mariners
of that dangerous shoal. The lightship
had broken its heavy mooring chain,
and his firm had to get another which
Maj. Cunningham had forged under
his personal supervision in Birming-
ham, England, there being at that time
no foundry in the United States which
could make such a chain.
1t was through Maj. Cunninghams
efforts that a number of fine steam
boats for the Florida trade were built
in Savannah. He was also Interested
in the dry dock that was built and used
in this port prior to the late war and
which was sunk by the Confederate
authorities in Freeborns Cut to keep
the enemy's gunboats from approach
ing the city from that direction After
the war Maj. Cunningham with Capt.
M. P. Usina, and the late F. M. Jones,
constructed a craving dock on Hutch
inson Island.
Looking back over Savannah history
from the 30s to the 70's it would be
difficult to find anything of Importance
in which Maj. Cunningham was not
conspicuous as a promoter, If not a
leader. He was major of the First
Regiment of Georgia Reserves and
from April to December 1864, was pro-
vost marshal of this military district
He was in command of the provost
guard as it followed the rear guard
of Gen. Hardee'S army across the pom
toon bridge that spanned the river at
the foot of Barnard street on the
morning of the evacuation of the city.
Maj. Cunningham is largely interest
ed for himself, his old firm, and 9TH
ers, in the cotton claims against the
government, and is devoting his ener-
gies to have the money which has been
i'm fhn TTnitnd States Gov
ty-seven years paid over to those to
whom it rightfully belongs. He is very
hopeful that this year will see justice
done to himself and others who were
despoiled of their property by the Fed
eral authorities

PISTOL WOULDN'T FIRE.
And Negro Thief Escaped From
Railroad PatrOIman.

HaNTOImAns
Because his pistol failed to fire. after
repeated efforts had been made, Pa
trolman Eag1eson of the Central force,
was unable, at an early hour yesterday
morning, to stop negro who had rob
bed the Cudahy Packing Company IN
the neighborhood of 100 pounds of
white meat.
Complaint has recently been made Of
the theft of meat from the packing
houses on West Broad street. About ?
O'Clock yesterday morning Patrolman
Eagleson, on duty at the Central de-
pot. noticed cab drive in the direc-
ton of the baggage room. Suspecting
that things were not as they should be,
the uniformed man followed and caught
an unknown negro in the act of placing
a bag of stolen white meat in the vehi-
Gle
The officer was within a few feet of
the thief who lodged around the cab.
Unable to make the negro come to
standstill the patTOlman drew his re-
volver and made an effort to shoot. His
pistol is of the OldfashiOned sort and Is
not self-cOcking. Several times Eagle
son pulled the hammer back and snap
ped the weapon, but each time it failed
to explode. Seeing that the officer
could not shoot the negro ran and made
his escape. The cabman was placed
under arrest. but it could not be shown
that he was implicated in the theft
When the case was reported to the
superintendent of police, and it was
explained to him that if Patrolman
EaglesOn had been armed with a mod
ern weapon the thief would have been
caught he wrote a letter to the rail-

THIEF'S LIGHT SENTENCE.
Negro who Robbed De Soto, How
ever, Will BE Arraigned Again.

Negro who Robbed De Soto, How
ever, VIII BE Arraigned Again.
Because he pleaded guilty, Albert
Goodwing, the negro bell-boy who sys-
Dramatically robbed the De Soto for
more than a year, and who was ar
rested with several hundred dollars
worth of plumber by Detectives Muir
ply and Wall, escaped with twelve
months on the changing before Judge
Barrow in the Superior Court yester
day.
The light sentence that the negro re-
ceived did not please the prosecution,
and Goodwing will probably be ar
raigned by the police on other charges
of theft. The officers do not take
kindly to the thought that the thief
will serve only twelve months, after
which time he will be ready to tear
the town open," to use the Vernacular.
The police say that he might go OIL
stealing for some time before they
would be able to secure sufficient evil
dence to convict him. For this reason
the detectives will get together as
many cases as possible against the
negro, and have him sentenced on each
charge. 1t is now believed that the
valuable fan taken from the negro was
stolen from the room of a lady guest
of the hotel year ago. The fan was
purchased in France and was highly
priced

$4,000 Per Bottle.

This seems a pretty big price to Day
for a single bottle of medicine, and vel
il you consider the matter rightly, II
is a very cheap price for a bottle OF
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its 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 sc
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute. -ad.

Cities grow with the aid of new en-

GRAND JURY MUST
FURNISH FUNDS.
II New Structure Is to Replace Bar
nard Street School

nnrd Street school.
In discussing the recommendation of
the grand jury that the Board of Edu-
cation tear down the Barnard Street
School and erect new one in it's place
Col. George A. Mercer, president of
the board, said yesterday that it would
be. only too glad to have a new build
ing instead of the present one, and will
secure such a structure if the grand
jury will furnish the money.
1t would not be wise, however, he
said, to put a new building in the place
of the present one unless enough addi-
uonal land could be secured to allow
for larger building. The money to
secure this land as we'll as to put up a
new building would have to be ad-
Yanced out of the county's funds-the
Board of Education has no money ex-
cept that for fixed charges. To secure
a modern school in the place of the
present one would cost, Col Mercer es-
Inmates. about $4,000.
Col. Mercer said that, following the
letter of the law, before another school
for white children is built an additional
school for negro children is needed
There are no white children on the
waiting list for places in the schools.
and there is a large number of col
ored children.
Supt. Otis Ashmore is also of the
opinion that a decided Improvement
would be made in securing a modern
and up-to-date building in place of the
Barnard Street School. but does not
think it would be a good plan to build
in the same place unless the larger
building could be put up.
Col Mercer and Mr.. Ashmore also
agree that the Savannah school system
is not likely to be affected by the pres
ent bill before the Legislature for uni
formity of school text books. The
measure is intended, Mr.. Ashmore
says, primarily for the needs of coun-
try schools, which are in measure
different from those of a system like
that of Savannah and other large
cities

Hut Nothing Prevents Him Looking
Out For His Friends.
With the usual rush at the city mar
ket yesterday those thereabout were
kept on the move until late last night.
The rules of the market provide for
the closing of the big building at a
fixed hour, but it is always necessary
to hurry some of the market men out.
Owing to his large business, Logan
has to be looked after in this respect,
though he has no objection as long as
things go his way. Such a rush as he
is put to at times binders him from
closing up on the dot, possibly, but 1t
does not keep him from getting your
order to your home promptly. His idea
is that it pays to sacrifice private time
for customers. From him you get fine
quality of supplies, and they are de-
iivered on time. His supplies the COM
ing week will be complete as usual.
