EGGS WILL BE SCARCE.

Speaking OF the threatened egg fam
inc of last week, a local dealer said
yesterday:
"As evidence Of whether or not eggs
were a scarce article in Cairo. you
may note the advance of five cents per
dozen in less than one week and the
fact that the party who furnishes rae
with eggs was besieged by more than
a dozen buyers who met the ferryboat
and offered him fancy prices for his
entire supply. As a matter Of fact. We
have engaged all the eggs he can sup
ply aud last week he could only fur
nish us half as many as we wanted.
Ono cause or The scarcity of eggs is
that At this eesaon Of the year the
fowls arc shedding and 60 not produce
as wen as during other ssa1ous. Eggs
will be scarcc for several weeks yet

GORDON AT HEAD OF
MONUMENT ASSN.
Military OnAcers and Veterans Ap-
pointed to Membership.

Military OnHcers and Veterans Ap-
pointed to Membership.
The members of the committee ap-
pointed to organize the Savannah
branch of the John B. Gordon Monu-
ment Association met for organization
yesterday at the call of Gen. w. w.
Gordon. The meeting was held in the
Chamber of Commerce and was at
tend by Gen. w. w. Gordon, Mayor
Herman Myers, Col. ]. H. Estill, Mr..
P. A. Stovall and Mr.. J. P. Williams.
Gen. w. w. Gordon was elected
chairman of the committee and Mr.. L.
D. Lynes was made secretary. 1t was
unanimously decided to elect to MEM
bership in this branch of the associa-
tion the field and staff, and company
commanders, of the military and naval
organizations of Savannah, and a rep
resentative from each of the Confed-
crate Veteran camps. Capt. l.. G.
Young and Capt. G. l.. Chestnut were
made members as such representatives,
and Capt. j. ]. Gaudry was also add
ed. Notices of these appointments were
sent out yesterday afternoon.
1t was the desire of the COMMITTEES to
have a large attendance before taking
up the work of the association and so
nothing further was done. Another
meeting will be held shortly, at the call
of the chairman, and by that time it is
probable that subscription lists will be
ready, and that the work of collecting
the needed fund can be taken up at
once. Col. Estill rendered the COM
mittee the use of the Chamber of
Commerce quarters for future meet
ings.

Will Not Allow Friends to Use HIS
Name.
For the last two or three days Col.
j. H. Estill has been spoken of in
connection with the coming primary,
when representatives to the General
Assembly will be nominated along with
state and county officers.
The movement to get Col. Estill to
agree to become a candidate is said
to have begun in the South Side,
and a committee has been appointed
to call upon him and ask permission
to use his name. When asked yester-
day afternoon if he would consent to
become a candidate, Col Estil said
it would be impossible for him to make
the race.
Col Estill said he appreciates the
honor and kindly feeling of those
who had approached him, but it would
be impossible for him to become a
candidate.
AS has been stated in the Morning
News Mr.. ]. Randolph Anderson is
pretty certain to be a. candidate on

CRIMINAL CASES IN
UNITED STATES COURT.
Will BE Assigned Tomorrow by
Judge Emory Speer.

SuOSC OpCCEs
In the United States court to-mor-
row morning the criminal cases, which
are to come before the court this ses-
sion will be assigned. The defendants
have been summoned by the United
States Attorney to appear Monday
morning, and file their pleas, and the
majority of the. cases will probably be
assigned at that time.
Judge Speer will charge the grand
jury at 10 o'clock. The charge is al
ways one of the features of the ses-
sion, and promises to be exceedingly
interesting this year.
There are comparatively few cases Of
local interest assigned for trial this
week. On Monday the case of the
Pensacola Lumber Company against
]. F. Bailey comes up as does. also
that of G. w. Owens against the city
of Savannah.
The cases against the Hercules" and
the Inca" which have attracted con-
siderable attention are assigned for
Tuesday. and the most important case
for Wednesday is that of the Inter
state Commerce Commission against
the Ocean Steamship Company. There
are three separate cases to this suit.
The remainder of the week is taken
up with other cases of less local in
terest. The case of Michael A. Con-
nelly against Capt. Carter is assigned
for early next week. This case is one
in which there is considerable local
interest. The Diligentia cigar cases
have not yet been assigned.

HEAVY MARCH DOCKET
IN SUPERIOR COURT.

More Than Two Hundred Cases to
BE Disposed of During Term.
More than 200 cases are docketed for
the March term of the Superior Court
and the session promises to be an un-
usually busy one.
Among the cases which will come UP,
one of the most important will be the
trial of Benjamin Dickerson, accused
of inhicting injuries on his wife, which
resulted in her death. The date for
hearing the case has not yet been
set.
Willie Calvin. the negro who killed
his paramour, Rosa Pace. will prob
ably also come again before the court.
Word is expected daily from the Su-
preme Court, where an appeal has been
taken by Calvin's attorneys. Messrs.
Pease and Salas. The ground on which
the lawyers are fighting for another
chance to clear Calvin is that the con-
fession he made to the officers was il
legally admitted to evidence.
These are only a few of the cases,
which must be disposed of at the
March term. The total number of
cases on the trial docket is 218 and
besides these there are seventv-five
cases on the disqualified docket.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening of court for the term to-mor-
row morning. Court will convene at
10 o'clock. and Judge Cam. will at
once charge the grand jury. The re-
mainder of the first days session will
be taken up in calling the trial dock
ct, and the disqualified docket, and
assignment of cases.
Tuesday has been appointed by the
court as the day for hearing un-
contested cases. A number of divorce
eases are included in these. as well
as several others of varying nature.
The programme for the remainder of
the week has not yet been assigned.

FEAR OF U. S. COURT
SAVED LOAN COMPANY.
Mayor Instructed Marshal TO Take
Charge of Metropolitan.


Charge of Metropolitan.
But for the fear and respect felt
for the United States court, the Metro
politan Loan Company, which is now
in the hands of a receiver of Judge
Speer's court, would yesterday have
been taken in charge by the city au-
thorities. Mayor Myers gave instruc-
tions to the city marshal to close up
the place and take charge il the license
was not paid at once.
Marshal Dreeson, however, when he
remembered the company was in the
hands of a United States receiver, be-
came a little dubious about taking
charge. He consulted Col. Garrard, the
city attorney, and was told to keep
out of such an ENHANCEMENT. The pro-
prietor might be put on the docket,
said the city's legal adviser, but taxi
ing charge of a business already in
the hands of an appointee of the
United States court was a different
matter.
Marshal Dreeson, therefore, lodged
his executions for city license with
the referee in bankruptcy. Monday a
docket case may be made against the
company for doing business without
license, but no effort will be made to
take charge of the effects unless the
opinion OF the city attorney SnOuIu DS
changed. Meanwhile Marshal Dree-
son is congratulating himself upon
having escaped from being in contempt
of Judge Speer. He fells sure that he
narrowly escaped an hour or so in Jail.
The city has this year managed to
get Caught" on a dozen or more
bankrupt concerns. All went into
bankruptcy before paying their city
licenses. In the loan company's case,
the license amounts to $500. In others
the amount is not so much, but the
aggregate make quite a large sum. In
all the cases executions have been
lodged and the amount of the city Ii
cense will be paid Immediately after
the costs of the court, before other
creditors are considered.
The city, therefore, stands small
chance of losing anything at all, but
the money is tied up for time. Never
before were there so many concerns
owing the city licenses in bankruptcy
With some few of these arrangements
have already been made, notes being
given with responsible parties as in
dorsers for the amounts due. With
most of them, however, the matter is
still open. The city will get its money,
but not until the affairs Of the COM
pany are gotten into shape by the ref
cree in bankruptcy.

ARE ANXIOUS ABOUT
GEORGIA PEACH CROP.

Vice President Winburn of Central
Thinks "'NO News Good News"
There is much uneasiness among
railroad men and others who are in
terested in the fruit crop OF Georgia
as to what effect the cold wave that
now prevails may have had on the
peach trees in the peach growing belt,
the country near Fort Valley and Mar
Shallville.
Vice President w. A winburn of
the Central of Georgia said yesterday
that so far he had heard no news of
any damage and that he considers mo
news good news" He could not say
whether the trees had begun to bud,
but thinks 1t unlikely, as the
weather in the central part of the state
has been colder than it has been in
this vicinity and, further, trees in an
orchard do not bud so soon as those
grown in a yard.
