POOR HOUSE PLANS
WILL BE DISCUSSED.
Special Council Committee to Meet
County Commissioners.

Special Council Committee to Meet
County Commissioners.
The special Council Committee, con-
sisting of Mayor Myers and Alder
men Davant and Thomas, will to-mor-
row afternoon, confer with the County
Commissioners in regard to the estab-
lishment of a poor house on the county
farm.
The special committee was appointed
at the last meeting of Council, and the
Mayor wrote to the commissioners, ask
ing when it would be convenient for
them to meet and discuss the matter
with the committee. Yesterday Mayor
Myers was notified that the commits
sioners would meet tomorrow. and
would be glad to receive the commit
tee.
There is no doubt now that the poor
house will be established. Both county
and city officers are anxious to see
such an institution. It's need here has
been repeatedly pointed out by the
Mayor and other officials. The COM
missioners are favorable to the plan.
It is not thought the entire plan for
the establishment of the institution will
be decided upon at the meeting Thurs
day, but steps will be taken in that
direction. The plan is to start the
poor house on a very moderate scale,
and TO increase its size as it is found
necessary. Mayor Myers believes the
institution can be started for very
moderate sum. He thinks for the first
few years, only a small amount will
be required to run it.
The needy poor from within and
without the city are to be admitted,
though only those who have lived in
the county for some stated period. This
provision is to prevent persons coming
here for the express purpose of gain
ing admission. For the first year it
is thought the institution can be run,
after a building is constructed. for
what the city and county now nay out
on charity. The cost of the institution
is to be borne jointly by the city and
the county

CITY MARSHAL REPORTED
ASSAULT ON DEPUTY.
Mayor Informed That Assault on
Hussey Keeps Him from Work.

Mayor Informed That Assault on
Hussey Keeps Him from Work.
City Marshal Dreeson yesterday re-
ported to Mayor Myers that Deputy
Marshal Hussey was absent from his
office because of the assault that j. J.
Garrity, superintendent of the Scaven-
ger Department, had made upon him.
The letter to the Mayor was simply
a report on the absence of Deputy
Marshal Hussey and not a presentation
of charges against Garrity. The Mayor
win not bring the matter to the atten-
ton of Council.
1t is possible that the matter may
be brought up at the next meeting but
no charges have so far been preferred.
Should charges be preferred, it is very
probable that Council will take no
action. A number of the aldermen
take the position that the matter was
merely personal difference between
the two men and that Council should
not even consider it at all. They con-
tend that only in cases in the fire
and police department should the May
or take action, since the men in those
department are paid to protect life
and property, at any and all times, and
are arresting officers. Hussey might pre-
sent Clarity to the grand jury for as
sault and battery.

TOOK DEADLY POISON
WITHOUT KNOWING IT.
J. ID. Banks Purchased Nux VOmica
Instead of Ipecac.


Instead of Ipecac.
In an apparently dying condition, J.
d. Banks, of No. 537 Bryan street,
west, was early yesterday afternoon
carried to st. Joseph's Hospital. He
had taken a large dose Of nux vomica,
mistaking it for ipecac.
AS soon as Banks realized his mis-
take. he notified parties in the house
and medical attention was summoned.
He had taken the nux vomica at 1870
o'clock and at o'clock the police am
bulance was summoned and he was
removed to the hospital in a critical
condition.
Prompt medical attention probably
saved Banks life. While he is not
entirely out of danger it is now
thought he will recover.
Banks had been suffering from bill
iousness and determined to take some
ipecac In some way the name of the
medicine he wanted became confused
in his mind. He purchased the nux
vomica and took it before he realized
his mistake. 1t was only when the
poison began to take effect that he
knew he had taken the wrong drug.
When carried to the hospital, he
was suffering from the fearful convul-
sions that nux vomica produces. His
face was drawn and his head pulled
back from the effects of the drug.
Banks is a collector for Walker &
Mulligan.

National Association of Credit Men
meeting was held in the quarters of
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
1t was attended by some fifteen bust
ness men, practically all of whom sign
ed applications for membership. In
addition the subscriptions of others mad

explained by literature furnished, IS
composed of 5000 wholesalers, jobbers,
manufacturers, and bankers. 1t has
local branches in thirty-seven of the
chief cities of the United States. 1t

collection bureau, and is not corpora

the diffusion of ideas regarding the
proper granting of credit; to obtain
improved service from the mercantile
agencies; to induce legislation for the
promotion of honesty in business; to
prosecute fraudulent failures, and
guard against imposition; to establish
closer ties between business men, as
well as between them and their Gus
toners; to aid by precept, example and
counsel in removing causes that lead
to financial failures; to assist in es
tablishing uniformity in business Gus
toms and laws and to promote the inter-
change of credit Information.
Col j. H.. Estill. president of the
Chamber of Commerce, presided at
the meeting, while Mr.. o. S. Kulman,
who was chiefly instrumental in hav-
ing the meeting called, explained the
purposes and advantages of such an
organization, and, as secretary, ac-
cepted the applications for member
ship. The matter was discussed pretty
fully, number of those present being
familiar with the organization and all
of them in favor of having a local
branch. ~ ~n- rc
1t is necessary before organizing that
thirty members be secured To secure
the remaining eleven needed in Sa.-
vannah, committee of three, consist
ing of Messrs. Adolph LETTER, w. r.

pointed, and when this committee is

Lively Demand for saloon Leads to
Queer Complication.
Two applications were yesterday filed
with Clerk of Council Dreamer TO be
allowed to retail liquor at the same
place. the saloon occupied by Fincken
& Pacetti.
Council is thus asked to grant to
different individuals the right to sell
whisky in the same store. The appli-
cations will be read at the next regu-
lar meeting of Council and referred to
the Committee of the Whole. Both
cannot very well be granted, and it is
probable neither party will secure the
license until one of them withdraws.
When the first application was hand
ed to the clerk, he thought nothing of
It,. Mr. Dreamer casually inquired If
he was going to open up there, and
the applicant replied that he was, hav-
ing leased the place. Within an hour
the second application was handed in.

plication for that location and the man

'He may have a lease, but have
