ALPHABETICAL LIST
OF VICTIMS OF CUPID
MIR. Victor schreck Preparing List OF
Chatham's Marriages.

MIR. Victor schreck Preparing List OF
Chatham's Marriages.
Mr.. Victor Schreck will at once be-
gin the preparation of catalogue of
the marriages that have taken place
in Chatham county from the time
when the English method supphnted
that in vogue among the followers of
Tomochichi.
All of Cupid's victims will be cata-
logued according to the last letter of
their names. After each name will
be the date on which the memorable
event took place, and the age of. each
of the contracting parties at the time
they yielded up their freedom.
In preparing his catalogue of the land
titles of Chatham county and their
transfers, a very valuable work, Mr..
Schreek saw the difficulty that arose
without a marriage catalogue. Before
the old dover laws were changed COM
plications ensued. And even after that
change, property held by the lady in
her maiden name changed to a title
name, and thus Smith became lost in
Jones. Jones in Black, Black in John
son, Johnson in Smith again, ct cetera
ad inf1nitum.
The matter of hunting up titles will
be simplified when the marriage cata-
logue is complete, as it will contain two
alphabetical lists. one of the men and
one of the women.

"MysteriOus Griffin" Case Is Finally
Wound UD.
The last touch has been added to the
mysterious Griffin case. Attorney
Shelby Myrick ended everything yes
terday when, as the mans attorney
and as his wifes attorney, he sent
away the money that Griffin had left
in the Pulaski House previous to pull
ing off his disappearance act. The
case against the Chatham County Or
binary, an outgrowth of Judge Nc
Alpin's refusal to turn over the money
to the wife until he had proof of Grit
fms death, was also stricken from the
City Court records on motion of Mr.
Myrick.
Before he sent away the money, Mr.
Myrick paid visit to the hotel where
Griffin stopped during his stay in Sa-
vannah and settled all board and other
bills. Then he made out check for
the balance and sent it away. With
the money went three pistols which
Griffin had left and the pair of
crutches that figured so prominently
in the vain efforts to trace him and
learn something of his whereabouts.

MAYOR APPROVES
MOVING THE INFIRMARY.
Thinks Battery Park Would BE Good
Location for the Hospital.

In1nks Bnttery Park would BE GOOD
LOcntfOn for the Hospital.
Mayor Myers approves the eff
forts that are now being made to have
the Georgia Infirmary moved from it's
present location on Abercorn street.
He thinks the city would en-
terrain a proposition to purchase the
land where the infirmary is now To-
Gated, though in making the state
ment he wants it understood he is
speaking merely for himself and not
for the other city officials.
The Mayor thinks Battery Park
would be good place to move the in
Urinary to. By taking the infirmary
from its present location it is thought
the southern section of the city would
be greatly developed and a better hos
pital would be secured for the negroes
The Mayor hopes the parties desiring
the removal of the infirmary and the
trustees of the institution will be able
to come to an agreement.

AWARD DELAYED.
Commissioners Debating Conditions of
Competition in Police Court Plans.

No action was taken by the Commission
today with reference 70 the award of
prizes in the architects competition for
the Police Court building plans, and the
matter will probably not be decided for
several days. The Commissioners, how
ever. have received several letters from
local architects who submitted plans in
the competition. asking the Commissioners
not to award the prize to any of the archi-
tects who submitted more than one plan in
the competition.
The writer's argue that it is the general
rule that only one plan could be sub
mitted by one architect in such compe-
tition. and some of the architects state
that prior TO the opening of the plans the
Commissioners had informed them that
only one plan should be submitted by
each architect.
The code for the conduct of competitions
of the American Institute of Architects
contains the following rule under the head
OF what the program shall state: Whether
the submission of more than one design by
a competitor is forbidden or permitted.
II is aScertained, has been previously
stated that the program for the competi-
ton on the Police Court building. did not
forbid the submission of more than one
plan. nor did il state that more than one
plan should be permitted.
