AN INSURANCE
SUIT INVOLVING
$4,000 ON TRIAL
INSURANCE COMPANY FIGHTING.
ING OF POLICY IN LOCAL FIRE.
CASE WILL PRoeAI-.Y END
TO-DAY.

An interesting civil suit, involving
5000 in insurance money was
taken up in the city court yesterday
and is still on trial, with indications
that it will be late this afternoon
before the case is finally finished.
The style of the suit in the Ogle-
thorpe Savings and 1just Co, of
Savannah. and Mrs. e. h. Fader, of
this city, VS.. the Germaine Insur-
ance company
The case grows out of fire more
than a y, ar ago and which destroyed
the home of Mrs. Fader on Cochran
avenue, between Gloucester and
Monk streets, in which the house.
together. with all of the household
goods were destroyed
A poilcy i'll the sum Of $4,000 was
carried With the insurance company
mentioned aEcve, and, after the fire,
that company refused to pay the
amount of the policy. A joint suit
was then brought by the Oglethorpe
Savings and Trust Company. which
held q title to the house, and by Mrs.
E l.. Fader. who held the bond of
title to the property and who was
occupying the home at the time of
the fire.
The insurance company is fighting
the case on two points, first, IL is
claimed that the property destroyed
was not worth the amount of which
1t was insured, and second, that the
property was what is known as Town
Commons, that Mrs. Fader did not
hold the title to the property, hut
was only lessee. and that under
those conditions the policy was void.
The plaintiffs, Of course, are fighting
both of these objections and the case
has developed into quite an interest
ing one.
The Savannah Banking house and
Mrc. Fader are represented by J.
r. Colson, while the insurance COM
pany Us represented by Bennet,
Iwitty & Reese, of this city, and
Smith, Hammond & Smith. of At
anta.
A number OF witnesses were intro,
duced yesterday but all OF the eyf

ROADS. REQUEST
IS WITHDRAWN
COAST LINE WILL KEEP FLAG
MEN ON DUTY AT IMPoR.
TANT CROSSING.

The Atlantic Coast Line has with
drawn the request which was filed
with city council few weeks ago,
asking permission to discontinue the
two ilagmen used at the intersec.
tion of Bay and Gloucester and Bay
and Mansfield streets.
I. J. Wright, local agent of the
Coast Line, appeared before council
at a meeting earlier in the present
month and pointed out that his line,
as well as other roads, had been
neavily hit by the war inasmuch as
there had been tremendous falling
off III business, both passenger and
freight, and the road was endeavor-
ing to cut expenses as much as pos
srble. For that reason, he said, the
Coast Line desired to discontinue
these two fiagmen for time at
least
The matter was referred to council
as a committee OF the whole. II IS
understood, however, that a majority
Of the memEers OF council opposed
the granting Of the petition, therefore
1t was withdrawn by the railroad
company.

Berlin Military Authority Says Fall

Time-Russians' Left is Attacked
by the Austrians.

London. Nov. %. Desperate fight
ing in Russian Poland, the details of
which are lacking, and the resump.
tion of similar activity in West
Flanders, were the outstanding fea-
lures today in the areas of military
operations.
Both sides continue reticent con-
cerning the progress ofsthe battles in
Poland. The German general staff
says that the fighting is satisfactory.
The Russian headquarters maintain
a similar confidence.
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger quotes
military authority VINO declares
that Lembergs fall is only gues-
tion of time, because General Won
Hindenberg is rolling np the Rus
slams right wing, while the Aus
TRANS are attacking the Russian left.
Petrograd is silent about the
strategy of the presenf campaign,
which ldoeasAn.ot . IS! seem AZ excite any
greater concern in the Russian capi.

In Argonne the day was character
lzed by very hot fighting. The Ger

which were repulsed. S.
In Woevre and Voskes the situa-
tion is unchanged
Phe Germans attack on Ypres may
herald the resumption Of an attempt
to break the center, held by the Eng

way to the coast. This teory finds
some confirmation in renewed re-
ports tat the Germans are bringing
up heavy reinforcements through Bel

STREET CAR AND
AUTO COLLIDE
OCCUPANTS or MACHINE HAD A
= CLOSE CALL BUT ESCAPED N
/, WITHOUT INJURY.

Although the two occupants Of the
automobile escaped uninjured, a very
serious accident occurred yesterday
afternoon about O'clock at the in
tersection of Ellis and G streets,
when a street car collided with an
automobile driven by Mrs. H. M.
yBranham, and which was consider
ably damaged in the smashup.
1t seems a miracle that Mrs. Bran
ham and her son, who were in the
machine, escaped without injury, but
although the car and auto came to-
gether with much force, knocking
one of the front wheels almost en-
tfrely off the machine, the two oc-
cupants were not thrown out
1t seems that Mrs. Branham was
coming up Ellis street, going north,
while the street car was coming west
On G street. The crossing is rather
bad one, as it is practically impos-
siDle to see car coming in either
direction. Mrs. Branham states that
she did not hear the motorman ring
the street car gong, if ne did so, and
that he was coming at rapid rate
of speed. While she was travelling at
moderate speed in the AUTO it was
impossible to stop the machine after
she saw the car. The motorman was
likewise unable to stop the street
car, although he applied the brakes
AS soon as he saw the machine It
hooked for second as if a serious
collision was inevitable, and even
after the vehicles went together it
was feared that it was a serious
collision However, everybody es-
capped without injury. AS stated, the
aged in the collision.

AND PRICES ARE CHEAP.
Everybody Should Enjoy One for
Their Thanksgiving.


With the local market well supplied
and prices cheaper than in many
years, there is no reason why the
average Brunswick family should not
enjoy turkey on Thanksgiving. 1t
was expected the turkeys, along with
other things, would take an upwards
shoot about this time en- account "of
the European war" but it appears
that the demand has not been so
large as in previous years, and as a
result the prices are considerably off.
Cranberres, etc, are also plentiful
Just at present, and the prices are
