The steamship would have left for
New York within a day or two after
being towed here by the steamship Ell

large hawsers. These were promptly
ordered from New York, but failed to
arrive as soon as expected. They came
yesterday however, and early the
schooner was taken down the river to
Iybee Roads. where the Finance lay
and made fast. The tugs later took
up their position. tandem fashion, in
front of the disabled ship. and at $40
O'Clock in the afternoon the trip was
begun.
The Finance was en- route from

MAN MAY RE-MARRY

supertor Court Jury VIII Not Let
Defendant Re-marry.
The divorce libel of J. w. OFT,
against his wife. Martha OFT. was
heard for the second time in the Supe-
rior Court yesterday. A second YER
dict was returned by the jury.
1t gave to the man the right to again
marry if he sees fit TO do so. but de-
MED that right to the woman. Judge
Cam later signed a divorce decree in
accordance with the finding of the
jury.
There has been a noticeable ten
dency this year among divorce juries
to give the right to remarry to one
person and to DENY it to another. The
number of such verdicts is unusually
large, but consultation of the records
seems to indicate there is method IN
the Jury's actions. In every case
where the right to remarry has been
denied to one of the parties, it has
been the alleged guilty party. There
is apparently an opinion that the in
nocent party to a divorce should be
allowed to remarry, but that the guilty
party should not be.

COMMITTEE TO TEST
BRICK SAMPLES,
Soak Them in Water and Run Them
Through Machine.

Soak Them in Water and Run Them
Through Machine.
A meeting of the Streets and Lanes
Committee of Council has been called
for Monday morning at 10 o'clock to
test the brick samples submitted with
the bids recently opened for furnishing
the city with $4,000 square yards of
brick. There were four bidders and
four samples are to be tested.
The testing of the brick is a rather
interesting process. For the last for
ty-eight hours, the samples have been
soaked in water to ascertain their alb
sorption properties. The bricks were
weighed before being put into the wa
ter and will be weighed when they are
taken out. The very best scales, which
show even the smallest fraction of an
the weight. of course. will show the
absorption power of the brick.
After the bricks are taken out of
the water, they will be tested in ma
chine. especially made for the purpose.
The bricks are placed in the machine
and crank is then turned. The ma
chine rubs the brick in a manner sim
liar to the wear that it would natural
l. receive on the streets. In this
way the wearing capacity of the brick
is shown. The machine which will be
used in the test is one that has been
Endorsed by the United States govern
ment. The award of the contract will
probably not be made until Tuesday
or Wednesday.

COMMITTEE HAS RETURNED
FROM BRUNSWICK.

chant Marine Commission.


chant Marine Commission.
Messrs. William Kehoe, A w. Solo
mon, Herman Rosenheim and w. B.
Stillwell returned yesterday morning
from Brunswick, where they went to
represent Savannah before a sub-com-
mittee of the Merchant Marine Com
mission appointed at the last session
OF Congress to consider the needs of
that important branch of the coun-
try's business. The first three gentle
men were a committee from the Cham
Der of Commerce, and the last named
represented the Board of Trade.
The gentlemen arrived at Brunswick
shortly after noon Thursday, having
been delayed. 1t had originally been
intended by the Brunswick business
men to give the members of the SUBJ
committee and the visitors a boat ride
IN the afternoon, but owing to the
delay OF the Savannah and Fernandina
delegations the business session had
to be adjourned until the afternoon.
On the subcommittee were Senator
Martin OF Virginia, and Congressman
Spelgnts OF Mississippi. The official
senate stenographer and a secretary
accompanied the subcommittee
The case for Savannah was pre-
sented by Mr.. Stillwell who spoke of
the many advantages which the city
| onered for commerce and urged the
| plea for a deeper water channel This
course the speaker thought, would do
much towards increasing the efficiency
and growth of the merchant marine
especially for the overseas trade from
the South. He also favored the grant
ing of a subsidy.

ures before him. He urged that a sub

ed Grand Jury Witness.
There was a decided mix-up yester-
day when the sheriff called the roll of
witnesses wanted by the Superior Court
grand jury. When the name of F. F..
Jones was called. there was undoubted
proof that something had gone wrong.
ITO F. F. Jones: You are hereby
commanded that laying all other bust
ness aside and Notwithstanding any
excuse, YOU be and appear before the
Superior Court by 4 o'clock y. m. on
the day of Nov. IS, to testify and
speak the truth. according to your
knowledge in the case of John Smith. -
That was the way the subpoena read.
When the grand jury had retired to
its room one of the deputy sheriffs be-
gan taking an account of stock of the
witnesses on hand. All responded
promptly when their names were called.
When the officer called IF. f. JONES'"
however. there were some develop
ments of an unexpected nature. In
stead of the digniiled ex-alderman and
former grand juror, there stepped for
ward a neatly dressed colored man,
who bowed politely and replied, Il am

There was a decided inclination to

stated again he was f. F. Jones and
he produced the subpoena as proof
he was the party wanted. He was
informed he wasn't needed. and could
leave. This he did promptly.
Then the search began for the real
Mr.. Jones. A telephone call at his Of
flee gained only the information that
he was not there. Then Chief Deputy
Sweeny thought of the Yacht Club and
there he landed him. Mr.. Jones came
back to the city and appeared before
the grand jury.

INJUSTICE DONE TO
STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
Says General Manager w. II. Pleas
ants in Analysing Complaints.

General Manager w. H. Peasants,
of the Ocean Steamship Company,
reached Savannah yesterday morning.
He was seen by a representative of
the Morning News in regard to a petit
ton of the merchants to the Chamber
of Commerce. in which it was claimed
it had become more difficult to estab-
fish claims for losses in transit than
heretofore.
He was not inclined to consider the
complaint well taken. On investiga-
ton he found only a small percentage
of the seventeen shippers, who had
signed the petition had on file any
claim for damages arising from short
ages, he said.
Its only business that we should
have the affidavits from the consignee
who opens the goods and from the
shipper. Otherwise how could we
know who was at fault7 ! am sure
the Ocean Steamship Company will
promptly take up claims presented in
a way which all will agree is nothing
but business. We want to do, and
will do. the fair and square thing all
round. and the committee from the
Chamber OF Commerce will be heard
with pleasure"

which to pay for the journey and de-
cided to take the trip tramp fashion.
Both swore they were willing to work
