MUCH STEALING
ON RAILROADS
THEFTS ARE INCREASING.
MERCHANTS AS WELL AS CORPO-
RATIoNs ARE ANNOYED.

Shipments of Goods Have to be Ex-
amined Carefully and Promptly
Now so That Positive Claims for
Losses Can Be Made Mt Once-This
Entails Extra Work for Merchants
But Is Made Necessary by Present
Condftions-COmmo Carriers Los
ing n Great Deal.
AS a result of the seeming increasing
thefts from the railroad and steam
ship companies Savannah merchants
are exercising more care upon the re-
ceipt of their goods.
In discussing the report that the
common carriers are losing more heav-
lily than ever before several merchants
stated yesterday that great care has
to be taken now in examining goods
just as soon as they are received.
Shipment after shipment comes in
short and thousands of dollars worth
of goods are being stolen yearly while
in the care of the railroad and steam
ship companies. Despite the fact that
all the concerns have efficient detec-
tives, and that great deal of stealing
is prevented, the problem of reducing
the thefts to a minimum has, it ap-
pears, reached an acute stage.
Package after package comes in
short" said a wholesale merchant in
discussing the subject with a repre-
sentative of the Morning News, and
we have to be extremely cautious now.
1 understand that recently there has
been big increase in the losses and
that the corporations are having their
hands full. 1t looks as If there might
be some organized gang doing the
work, although, Of course, somebody
employed. by the companies must give
aid.
The merchants are now forced to
examine the contents of packages as
soon as they are received so that
proper claims can be made positively
and promptly. This, of course, entails
extra work and while less expensive
to us is almost as annoying as II is
10 the railroad and steamship lines.
Invariably we find several pairs of
socks or stockings missing from a
case, or pair of shoes slipped from
a box. These losses reach the thou
sand dollar mark in an incredibly
short space OF time"
Il understand there is an unusually
large amount OF stuff being reported
short" said a railroad official yester-
day, and, Of course. IL must be stolen.
We have not lost any more than the
usual amount OF stuff recently. but
other corporations. ] am informed,
have not been so fortunate, We all.
OF course, have considerable stun stolen
annually and there seems 70 be no way
to afOD Il entirely"

SCHOONER LOAD
OF FIREWORKS
BIGGEST DEMAND ON RECORD
DEALERS HAVE FILED SECOND Or
DER TO MEET TRADE.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Here Max
tne Great Preparations for Holt
day Trade, Which Is Expected to
He LiveIiest on RecOrd-New Toys
and Novelties for Little Folks.
With a schooner load of fireworks
already dumped into the local market,
dealers have been forced to place a
second order, so brisk has the demand
for fireworks been.
It is the custom of the wholesale
dealers of Savannah to pool their or
ders for fireworks for the holiday
trade, charter a schooner and bring
them to Savannah for just one-fourth
the cost of transportation by rail.
Steamship lines will not handle them
at all and it is for this reason Savan-
nah has developed as the principal dis
tributing point for fireworks for this
section of the South.
One can hardly comprehend the enor-
NOUS amount of powder that is burned
on a Christmas holiday in Savannah
and the adjoining country until he
sees one of these fireworks specials
dump it's load of rockets, roman cam
dies pin wheels. crackers of every size
and description along the water front.
This is but a part of the enormous
supply that is consumed each year III
Savannah and adjacent towns.
Gave Second Order.
AS long ago as two months the local
wholesalers placed their orders for
Christmas fireworks, and chartered a
ship to transport them from Philadel-
phia to Savannah.
They had hardly arrived before or
1ers largely exceeding the cargo
aboard the vessel had been sold, and
second orders have been placed. From
Savannah fireworks are shipped to
wholesalers in Atlanta. Macon, Albany,
Cordele, Brunswick and other points in
arge quantities.
While it is expected that the demand
FOR fireworks this Christmas will be
n excess of former years merchants
will be prepared to serve all CUSTOM
srs, and there will not be a scarcity
Of noise-making and spectacular dis
play novelties.
Many New Novelties.
Toy shop keepers are also laying in
large supplies of goods, bringing
many new and attractive novelties
here, from whence they will be dis
tributed through the surrounding
country.
When asked the reason for the ex-
cessive demand this year a prominent
wholesaler said yesterday that it was
occasioned by the generally prosper
in in
terror, and the increased orders of the
storekeepers there.
This Christmas will find the South
in better condition to enjoy the Holt
day than at any time since the war.
The South's trade has been enormous

BIG RAILROAD CHANGES

The people of this city have reason
to feel a lively interest in the tests

Tribune yesterday. That machine and
about forty others which have been
ordered will be put into service in and
just north of the metropolis. For
moving its suburban trains the New

Lectured by the Court.
The court then ordered the defendant
to stand and, before imposing sem
tence. lectured him severely. Briefly
Judge Cam called attention to the Sc
rious results that might have come
from the shooting of the hog, and
showed how 1t might have so aroused
the hate OF the mon most directly con-
cerned that bloodshed would have fol-
lowed.
The fact that Clarke was an educated
man was, in the opinion OF the court, a
fact that made the act all the more
inexcusable. He knew of the hatred
between Larissey and Sasser. He was
aware that the court was doing all in
Its power to end the trouble in the
best way. He understood the neces-
sity of the order forbidding firearms in
the contested district. He could not
have been unaware Of the provisions Of
the decree, as he himself had read it.
Imposed Light Fine.
The court then stated that, consider
ing all the circumstances surrounding
the Ossabaw Island feud, he did not
deem any excuse that had been given
one sufficiently good to allow him to
let the defendant off with only lee
ture. The fact that the defendant un-
derstood, as well as did the officers
of the court. the serious results that
might have followed his act only ag-
grayated the offense.
In closing, Judge Cam said: I'M

the court advises you and all others
on the Island that the ones who vio-
late the order which conditions made
necessary will be severely punished"
