] his was the announcement made Dy
over forty lot owners of Rock Greek
Cemetery at a mass meeting. held in
the Riggs House last night, when. after
bitterly denouncing the cemetery man
asement for its "high-handed and III
advised actions" a committee was ap-
pointed TO represent the complainants
n securing satisfaction.
This committee. consisting of six
members, three of them being women,
was delegated TO visit the cemetery
personally and there ask for a hearing
before the Rev. Charles Z. Buck. rector
OF 81. PauTs Church and chairman of
the executive committee Of the Rock
Creek Cemetery Association, either to-
morrow or Monday.
Will Await Explanation.
Pending the explanation to be given
by DR.. Back, the eomplainants viii sus-
pend further action. but in case they
DO not receive a satisfactory answer. II
was announced last night that all the
complainants will unize in a body and
will employ an attorney to represent
them in bringing suit for alleged dam
ages to the property of lot owners and
mismanagement in violation of the
sociatiOn by Congress.
That the feelings of many OF the lot
owners have been touched in tender
spot by alleged abuses TO the graves OF
kindred was evidenced last night when
a number Of women, with tears in their
eyes and labOring under great emotion
addressed the meeting and spoke Of the
.'heartlessness'' which had caused then
"A

tions ana destroy them" said Mrs. G.

seems they are going to allow the sa-
cred city OF the dead 10 be made picnic
ground. Instead of going quietly to the
cemetery to mourn in a proper spirit or
reverence, we are in trepidation lest
since the time of our last visit some
Of the flowers which We laid there might
have been removed or else the grave
tampered With. We pay enough money
TO have a watchman guarding the place
from vahdals. but the management now
announces that the position OF watch
man is abolished. Such action is most
unWise. Even the mere suggestion that
ones grave may be tampered with Is
revolving. and ones tenderest feelings
are touched thereby"
Many in Attendance.
The Indignation meeting was held in
one of the large parlors of the Riggs
House on the second floor. By 8 O'Clock
the room was well filled. the lot owners
gathered from many parts Of the city

MILLIONS COMING

English Insurance Companies to

English Insurance Companies to
Pay Fire Losses From England.
Mr. E. D. Randolph, treasurer of the
New York Life Insurance Company.
New York, and one of the directors of
the Southern Railway, who was in
Savannah yesterday as a member of
President Samuel Spencer's party, talk
ed interestingly of the effect that the
recent big fire in Baltimore may have
on the financial conditions of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Randolph is a member of the
board of trustees of the Liverpool and
London and Globe Insurance Company
of England, one of the largest insur-
ance companies in the world, and of
Which the losses in Baltimore will
amount to $1,000,00O So soon as the
news of the disaster reached the head
quarters of the company in England
Mr.. Randolph said, the representatives
in America were cabled not to disturb
the American funds of the company
but to draw for the full amount of the
losses on the headquarters. The COM
pany also contributed $4,000 towards
the relief of the sufferers from the fire.
1T is more than probable, Mr.. Ran
dolph said, that the other large in
surance companies will follow the suit
of the Liverpool and London and Globe,
with the result that some $4,000, 900
to 100000 will be sent into this
country, and will do much toward re-
lieving the fears of the commercial
world that the enormous amount of
money that is soon to be paid out in
various ways in connection with the
Panama canal will tend to unsettle the
financial world.
