RECEIVERS REPORT
ON MEDLOCK ESTATE.
Tells of the Difficulties That Were
Thrown In His Way.


Deputy Sheriff L. K. Meldrim, re-
ceiver of the estate of c. H. Medlock,
proprietor of the Savannah District
Messenger and Delivery company,
yesterday filed his report in the SUI
perior Court. The report states that
when he took charge of the business
he found it in very bad condition
and that the books had been so badly
kept that it was almost impossible to
gain any idea of the exact state of
affairs.
Later all manner of difficulties, he
said were thrown in his way. The
first trouble came when a gang of
piano movers, without notice, struck,
and attempted to turn this business,
which is a profitable one, to an old
employee. The receiver employed new
men and the results justified this
course Later it was charged that
Hoyle Medlock maliciously cut and in
jured three of the horses, and it was
necessary to hire horses to do the dray-
ing.
In spite of all these difficulties the
business had been well cared for and
a considerable profit made during the
time that it was in Mr.. Meldrim's
hands. The sale, as heretofore stated
in the Morning News, Melted $1,050.
The total amount now in the hands of
the receiver ammounts to $1,494.44.
Judge Cam granted an order con-
tinuing the present receivership and
ordering Mr. Meldrim to pay off all
debts that had been contracted by
him. All money in his hands is to be
deposited in the Commercial Bank. A
complete report is to be made to the
court on October IS.

AUT0ISTS COMPLAIN OF
SHELLS ON JONES STREET.
Claimed That Oyster Shells Do Much
Damage TO Expensive Tires.

Claimed That Oyster Shells Do Much
Damage to Expensive Tires.
Daily complaints are being made by
owners OF automobiles of the oyster
shells, which have been dumped into
the worn places on Jones street be-
tween Abercorn and West Broad. 1t
is asserted that these shells will cut
through a valuable auto tire, engen-
dering an extra cost to the owner of
the machine of a considerable sum, as
a tire is never the same after it has
been repaired.
I'VE are going to be taxed for own
ing autos, said one driver yesterday,
land / see no reason why we should
not be considered when material is be-
ing used in the construction of streets.
OF course, if ii was a necessity to put
uncrushed oyster shells on the street
and we were the only ones TO be bene-
fitted we would have no kick coming,
but / notice that wagons and buggies
all avoid these places and II is weeks
and weeks before they are finally
crushed so that we can pass over them
in safety This is not the only street
where this obstacle has been encoun-
tered, but is the worst one 1 have in
mind at present."

"OLD HOSS SALE" OF
SOUTHERN EXPRESS CO,
More Than 500 Packages to BE Dis

More Than 500 Packages to BE Dis
posed of at Auction.
An "old boss sale will be given by
the Southern Express Company this
morning, beginning at 1890 o'clock.
Mr.. C. H. Dorset. who has filled the
position on former occasions, will auc-
ton off the goods.
More than 500 packages have been
placed with Mr.. Dorsett to sell at what
they will bring. Mysterious looking
boxes, packages, trunks, grips and bar
rels are piled UP in the storerooms of
Mr.. Dorsett's place of business.
In the long list of goods to be offer
ed, are included an ak handle, tin
can, and a fish trap, in addition to
the usual assortment of jugs, boxes
and miscellaneous packages.
All goods will be sold sight unseen."
and will be sent to the addresses given.
II the packages could be opened on
the place it would doubtless conduce
to the fun of the occasion, but it would
so interfere with the sale that it will
not be allowed.
Big crowds usually attend such sales.
where prizes may be drawn for small
sum. or a bundle of worthless paper
for larger sum. The sale will con-
tinue until all of the goods have been
disposed of.

MAYOR MYERS COMMENDED
FOR HIS RATE FIGHT.

The action of Mayor Myers in APP
pealing to the other cities and towns
of the state to join Savannah in the
fight against rate determinations in
favor of Atlanta, is being commended
on every hand. The Mayor hopes to
be able to get the entire state inter
ested in the matter, so that Savannah
will not be alone in her fight. 1t is
as much a fight for one town as an
other, and the Mayor thinks all should
join.
The Mayors secretary, Mr.. Thomas
Gamble, Jr., was kept busy yesterday
sending out the clippings from the
Morning News to the Mayors of the
Georgia towns. The fight will be kept
up steadily until the Railroad Commits
sion announces equal rates for all
places.

SPICY TESTIMONY
CAME BUBBLING OUT.
Interesting DiscOurses by PrOseOu
trix and Defendant.

There was testimony of an unusual
ly spicy nature connected with the
prosecution of Mrs. Inez Blanchard in
the City Court yesterday. The woman
was arrested at the instance of the
wife of Harmon Cohen, the ex-Savan-
nah butcher, who claimed that she had
attempted to steal the affections of
her husband. Assistant Solicitor
Charlton conducted the case for the
state and Col. Robert L. Colding rep
resented the defendant.
The evidence was detailed and elab-
crate. The descent of the prosecutrix
upon the home of the defendant An
search of her erring husband, was WV
of the crowd in the court room. Then
the hurried exit of Cohen, via back
fences, came to light followed by a
stormy interview between the wife and
the defendant. If the witnesses for
the state were to be believed the Ian
guage used was far from choice, and
even the defendant admitted that ut
got a little rough"
The prosecutrix, in establishing the
identity of the defendant, went into a
long discourse on laces and lingerie
that was highly entertaining. The star
witness. a Mrs. Kennedy of Atlanta,
completed this. and in addition, gave
a lengthy statement of things she saw
while standing on q. barrel and watch
ing the love-making.
The jury returned verdict of not
guilty and the defendant was dis
charged

NEGRO JUMPED FROM
FAST MOVING TRAIN.
Escaped from Deputy Sheriff OF
Bryan County.

Bryan County.
A much chagrined deputy sheriff
from Bryan county walked into the
office of the Chatham county sheriff
yesterday and announced that a prls-
soner with whom he had left home was
no longer a prisoner. The details of
the escape were somewhat sensational
in the nature and the leave taking was
decidedly informal.
The sheriff and his prisoner a negro
named A. Sans, started from Penn
broke in Bryan county for Jesup.
where the negro is wanted on a charge
of embezzlement. AS the train on
which they were was approaching Sa-
vannah, and while moving at a rate
of about thirtyfive miles an hour the
negro suddenly made for the rear plat
form and jumped.
The deputy sheriff caught a glimpse
of human form making some very
rapid revolutions through the air and
instinctively he reached for the bell
rope and stopped the train. AS the
train slowed down the negro rose from
the ground and made off through the
swamps. The officers here were in
structed to keep a lookout for the man
and the disappointed deputy last night
took up his journey home. His ex-
PLANTATION to his chief promises to be
fraught with interest.

Merchandising Originality.

Now science, and Savannah leads.
So far the editor considered that If A
piece of merchandise was purchased
and the storekeeper allowed it's return,
1t was a liberal proposition. To-day
Savannah's big department store
comes out advertising an all wool suit
OF clothes for men at $6.9S, and at the
same time II offers to take back that
suit II satisfaction fails and pay the
customer $500 I'm cash instead of the
S6.9S purchased This would undoubt-
edly be loss to the merchant of Sl.02
without having made any transaction.
While we can see through the offer
that the suit Of clothes must be an
extraordinary value for the money,
which would 50 delight the customer
that the return Of the suit would be
out OF the question. Il Is the first time
that such a proposition has ever come
before our nOtice.-ad.

COULD NOT AGREE ON
WHAT THEY SHOULD EAT.
Family Troubles Well Aired in the
City Court.

The case of Jack Spratt who could
eat no fat and his wife who could eat
no lean," came out in the second edi-
ton yesterday in the City Court. Only
this time instead Of merely keeping
the platter Clean" the husband and
wife adopted strenuous measures and
upper-cut and right-swings landed on
each others jaws while the edibles be-
came mixed up with their dusky phys
iognomies.
The defendant was Frank Frazier,
colored, and his wife was prosecuting
him for assault and battery. The en-
tire trouble was the cooking. Frank
stated that he wanted to eat certain
things, and that because his wife did
not like them she wouldn't cook them.
Then again there were certain things
that Frank absolutely abhorred and
just couldn't eat. Therefore his wife
persistently kept on cooking them,
maintaining that they were the only
things that she could live on.
This state of affairs progressed, with
varying degrees of intensity, until the
climax was reached. Then Frank dex-
terously landed on his wife's head
with a beefsteak. She countered with
a bowl of soup. Then Frank touched
AP iANA NCACAA MS Wy tAA tAoNAS oAAANeNA . u
ketchup. She let fly at him with the
Boston beans and finished the picture
off with soft boiled egg, applied with
vigOr and with the touch that indi-
Gated wonderful knowledge of color
harmony.
This exasperated Frank and he came
back with a right and left swing with
the coffee pot and all the dry humor
went out of the situation. The woman
then asserted her rights and started to
put salt and pepper on the egg that
had been previously manipulated with
such skill. The seasoning got in
Franks eyes and then he closed, land
ing heavily with both fists and once
in awhile with his feet.
The jury carefully listened to the evil
dence and after few minutes delib-
Grafton, returned with verdict of not
guilty. They evidently looked upon it
as a case of "catch- as-c atch-can," and
would not punish the man for attempt
ing to maintain that he was running
the outfit. Further complications may
reas onably be expected unless food
supplies run short

SHAVING ON SUNDAY
EXPENSIVE FOR BACON.
BARRIERS Union Opened Fire on Fell
low Tradesman.

low Tradesman.
Joe Bacon, a colored barber, was
found guilty yesterday of shaving a
customer in his shop on Sunday, Oct
9. Judge Norwood stated that as the
offense was not a serious one and
as no one had been injured by the act
he would let Bacon down with q light
fine. He sentenced him to pay $50, or
serve three months on the changing.
The prosecutors were two other col
Ored BARRIERS. Bolden and Maxwell.
As these men are the chief officers of
the recently organized BARRIERS Union,
it is safe to say that the union was
the real prosecutor. The two men
Testified that they had seen Bacon
shaving customers on Sunday, and the
jury could not but bring in a verdict
of guilty. The prosecution has also
brought to light the real object of the
Barber's Unions.
Retaliation is promised and ven
geance is demanded by the BARRIERS not
in the union. 1t is claimed that the
very men who appeared as prosecu-
tors also shave on Sundays, though they
ply their trade at the homes of their
customers, and not in their shops. I'M
der the law, both men are equally gull
~ and more prosecutions are likely to
result.
The desire for the extra price of the
Sunday shave is probably the real mo-
tive back of the overwhelming desire
of certain BARRIERS to stop all Sunday
shaving. The barber who shaves
customer at his home on Sunday
charges 25 cents instead of the usual
10 and Is, and in addition generally
comes in for tip of some nature. If
shops were open on Sunday this ex-
ira price would disappear, hence the
sudden veneration for the Sabbath.

SUING THE GERMANIA
FOR ALLEGED DEBT
Contractor Claims Nearly $4,000 1
still Due Him.

Contractor Claims Nearly $4,000 Is
still Due Him.
Suit has. been instituted in the SUI
perior Court by Grant Wilkins of At
lanta against the Germania Bank for
s2S,6Ss.s9. The suit is filed through At
torneys Ellis, Wimbish & Ellis of At
lanta. The PLAINTIFF claims that the
amount asked for in the petition, to-
gether with interest, is still due him on
the contract.
He alleges that on Dec. 6, 1902, he
contracted to put up the building for
$185, 703.S3. After the work had started
several changes were made which ma
terially altered the cost of the build
ing. In the first place, there was a
more expensive elevator put in the
building, entailing an additional cost of
1885. Additional work on the new
vault cost s1,138.67, and more than
$4,000 was spent in moving the old
vault. Other new features added 81
$3.50 to the cost as first estimated.
These brought the total cost of the
building up to $194,174.30. OF this
amount all but the sum asked for i'll
the suit has been paid in cash.
All of the improvements which added
to the total cost of the building he
claims were authorized and attached
to the suit as exhibits are copies of
these contracts.
The bank people state that they are
entirely ready for the suit They point
to the fact that Wilkins already owes
them $14,025 as demurrage charges I'M
der the contract. The contractor agreed
to forfeit $75 per day for every day
that the building remained unfinished
after the contract time for finishing.
This totalled 1877 days. In addition,
there are the several laborers and ma
terial mems liens that have been filed
against the bank, notice of which has
already been published in the Morning
News.
The indications are that the suit will
simply become a general accounting
and a settling up of all claims.

PARKER'S CABINET OFFICERS
HAVE BEEN SELECTED
by the City Employees of Savannah
After Due DeIiberatIOn.

After Due DeliberatiOn.
number of the city employees got
together yesterday and fixed up a list
of cabinet officers for Judge Parker,
when he is elected President. "It was
just to save President Parker the trou-
ble' one of the number volunteered.
land not that we doubt his ability to
pick a good cabinet"
The Department of Commerce and
Labor was overlooked entirely by the
city employees and no appointment was
made for the Department of Agricul-
ture either. The latter was left va
cant on purpose, they say, because
they had favored Hon. o. b. Stevens
for the place, but fear Judge Parker
would not stand for him, owing to his
earlier Hearst boosting.
Following is the cabinet, which will
be submitted to President Parker for
approval:
Secretary of State-Grover Cleveland.
Secretary of War-John Sharpe Will
liams.
Secretary Of Navy-George Dewey.
Attorney General-William Jennings
Bryan.
Postmaster General-Richard Olney
Secretary of the Interior-Carter Har-
