DEAD NEGRO MOURNED
BY WRONG PEOPLE.
Wallace Went Home and Found
People Crying over Strange Corpse.

Wallace Went Home and Found
People Crying over Strange Corpse.
Richard Denmark, a negro who drop
ped dead yesterday morning at West
Broad and Bryan streets, was errone-
ously identified as Neal Wallace, and
was carried to Wallace's home, where
his relatives mourned until Wallace
came in and broke up the lamentations.
The body was then moved to Dixon S
undertaking establishment where it
was held until Denmark's wife called
and identified it.
Denmark was taken suddenly i'll on
West Broad street about $50 o'clock
yesterday morning A telephone mes
sage was sent to police headquarters
for the ambulance, but before it ar
rived the negro died. A large crowd
gathered and a number of persons said
the dead man was Wallace, whose
home is on Farm street near Williams.
Relatives of the man supposed to
have been dead were notified. and the
body was removed after the coroner
arrived and gave permission. DIR. Kel-
Ter, the coroner, made out a death GER
tificate for Wallace. The mistake was
not discovered until Wallace appeared
at mis- home. and found everyone cry
ing over the body of some strange ne
gro.
Wallace was worried by so many peo-
pie telling him that they thought he
was dead, that he did not know what
to do. Several informed him that they
had even seen the certificate of his
death. He called at the city health Of
flee and protested against being re-
corded as dead.
The body stayed at the undertaking
shop some time before any one identi-
fed it. When the wife finally learned
of Denmark's death she called and had
the body carried to her home, 612 Hern-
don street

CAPTAIN OF V0ORBURG
VISITED ST. LOUIS.
His Ship VIII Arrive To-day with
First Cargo From Holland.

First Cargo From Holland.
Capt. Van der Schoor de Boar, of the
steamship Voorburg, between Holland
and Savannah, reached the city yester-
day morning. His vessel is on the way
here from Fernandina. Capt. Van der
Schoor de Boar came to Fernandina on
the Noorburg, and without waiting for
the unloading of the vessel, started for
visit to the Worlds Fair.
Its a great show" said the genial
captain yesterday. Everybody ought
to see it. 1 am highly pleased with my
short trip. and will cherish many re-
membranes of the exposition. !"
The Voorburg when she arrives to-day
will bring the first cargo secured for
Savannah importers by Mr.. r. S. Cos
linga, whose plan to interest local inn
porters in the advantage of buying
direct, was told in the Morning News.
The shipment consists of seventy pack
ages, and is valued at about $500, and
is composed of fruit syrups, Holland
gin, Java coffee, marmalades and 9TH
er products of Holland. It is expected
that the next cargo will consist OF
about 400 packages, valued at about
$4,000. Spices and teas have been
found salable here, and will be an i'm
portant part of the coming cargo.
Owing to the approaching election
Mr.. Goslinga will return to Holland on
the Voorburg. but will come to Savan-
nah again in the fall.
BY a coincidence, the chief officer of
the Vooburg during the absence of
Capt. Van der Schoor de Boar was a
brother of Mr.. Goslinga, the first order
secured by Mr.. Goslinga thus being
brought in by his brother.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Why Should One Wait 20 Years for
Dividend EarninEsf


Extract from a letter written by a
former Insurance Commissioner:
Under an annual dividend or short
period distribution policy, the policy
holder obtains every advantage that he
can possibly obtain under long de-
ferred dividend contract, with the add
ed advantage of retaining control of
his accumulations, freed from the con-
fiscations imposed under the deferred
dividend contract. An annual dividend
policyholder can allow his dividend to
remain to be added to his policy as
additional insurance, and in such cases,
in the event of death, the family re-
ceives about twice as much as the divi-
dend amounted to, in addition to the
policy; under the deferred dividend
contract the whole accumulation is for
feited in the event of death. Under
the annual dividend contract the pol
iCyholder who allows his dividend to
remain. and be added to his policy,
may at any time have these additions
reconVerted into cash, which privilege
in many cases will enable the policy
holder to keep his contract in force
give you an example, one of thousands,
of the workings of the deferred divi-
dend contract. Twenty years ago last
Nov. l, 1882, a, man was insured under
a twenty-year deferred dividend or
semi tontine policy: the dividend
period was fixed at Nov. 1, 1902. The
company in which the insurance was
taken had already calculated the
amount of the accumulation due this
poltcyholder. and notified it's general
agent that the amount would be 49,
400. The general agent made arrange
ments to see this man. to inform him
of the amount of the dividend to which
he was entitled, and at the same time
try to write him for more insurance,
when, to his surprise, he was notified
that the man had died on Oct. Is, just
two weeks pnior to the expiration of
the dividend period. The company paid
the face of the policy and confiscated
the So, 400 of accumulation, which, as a
payments of this policyholder, with in
terest. Had this been an annual divi-
dend contract. the man could have
added this $4,000 to his policy in the
purchase of additional insurance, and
the family would at his death have re-
ceived something like $500, more than
the face of the policy. Had he lived
he could at any time have had these
additions reconverted into cash and re-
ceived his money"
The prudent, careful thinker will see
the force of the above and let the
tontine or deferred dividends plans
alone. Let us show you the Massachu-
sets Mutual plans. We will do so
cheerfully. Write, stating your age
and address, Harry & Apple, III Bay

REFUSED NEW TRIAL
IN HARD FOUGHT CASE.
Jefferson street Paving Cnse win

Jefferson street Paving Cnse Win
Have No More Hearings.
Judge Paul Seabrook yesterday re-
fused to grant a new trial in the case
Of the city against F. Asendorf This
case was one of the many brought as
a result of the repaving of a certain
portion of Jefferson street and as all
agreed to abide by the decision in the
Asendorf case, the question is proba
bly, finally ended. though an appeal
may yet be taken. The verdict of the
jury was in favor of the city.
The litigation arose when the city
repaved Jefferson street. The property
holders fronting on that street were
assessed certain amount to help pay
for the paving. To paying this as
sessment they objected, on the grounds
that there was no call for the second
paving as the old one was entirely sat
isfactory, and that the second paving
was inferior, in many respects, to the
old.
Some forty-odd cases were brought,
though, as stated above, it was agreed
that the verdict in one case should de-
termine the disposition of all.

AFTER SEVEN YEARS
THIEF WAS CAUGHT
Ed Powers. n Negro, Arrested for
Stealing Boat seven Years Ago.

Ed Powers. n Negro, Arrested for
Stealing Boat seven Years Ago.
For stealing a boat seven years ago,
Ed Powers, a negro. who has since
been a fugitive from here until re-
Gently, was arrested last night by Pa
trolman A. ]. Clark. The interesting
question now arises as to whether
Powers can be prosecuted after so long
time or not. II is commended by the
police that he may be, as he was a
fugitive from justice. Had he remain
ed here and not been caught they adj
init the case could not have been tried
at this late date.
II was in March, 1897, that Powers
stole the sloop Rover, which belonged
TO Peter Roland. He found the sloop
in the river near the city and carried
it to Thunderbolt. where he sold it to
Joe Wright for $50. A few days after
wards the owner located 1t there and
Wright of course had to give il up.
During the seven years that have
elapsed. Wright has not forgotten the
$40 that he is out. Last night he saw
Powers for the first time since he
bought the boat from him. He imme-
diately sought Patrolman Clark and
pointed the man out to him.

How Times Have Changed?

There is some talk to the effect
that Senator Tillmap, owing to his
health, will not be able to attend the
national convention. We trust that
this will not be the case. As the
Charleston Post says, Tillmen always
could not be considered a conserva-
tive force in politics yet it is certainly
true that be stands out eminently
such in the notional situation. He
is alive to the necessity of nominating
at St. Louis man who can COM
msnd the support of the Democracy
at large and attract the following be-
sides, of sober people of all political
beliefs, who are properly alarmed at
the outrageous development tf
Rooseveltism.

be expelled have lived there all their

says the paper, is within the pale,
and the expulsions are accordingly
