Mrs Stella Akridge, the account of
_L se suicide iu Macon last night
Hubiished in to day's Morning News,
\ in savannah for several months.
She came here from Quincy, Fla., where
iie claimed to have relatives. She se
cured a room at Mrs. Bryan's, No. 56 Bar
nard street. - ■
She was a small brunette, very quiet
and ladylike in her ways and talked little
to the other lodgers. She bought her
provisions, and did her own cooking in
her room on an oil stove. She did fine
embroidery work and hand-painting, by
which means she made some money,
but her chief source of supply
seemed to be from her brother
—Vinm she said, kept a store at Herndon,
In the’Central railroad. He frequently
•ent her small amounts of money and par
tis containing shoes and other articles of
wearing apparel. She did not seem to be
in want and always paid her room rent
properly.
bore traces of trouble.
Mrs Akridge had the appearance of a
woman who had undergone a great deal
of trouble. She said that her husband
was still living, but had left her and that
her babv was dead. Her brother, or her
husband, as some of the people at the
house believed him to be, visited her oc
casionally. He gave his name as Ray
mond Sanaford. She said that their
lather was Dr. Sanford, a former promi
nent citizen of Quincy, Fla., now dead.
Mrs Akridge and her brother appeared
to act very strangely. He is described as
small, light complexion and light h,air.
T ery neatly dressed and very quiet and
gentlemanly in his manner. His sister,
however, seemed to be very much afraid
qf him, and avoided seeing him as
much as possible. She told the
other lodgers one time that
he had tried to poison her b.v sending her
poisoned tooth powder, and that he had
threatened to cut her throat. She said
that he threatened to kill her for the
good of the community, but that she told
him it would do the community no good
to kill her. Her talk and
actions excited much comment among the
other lodgers, and she was regarded as
something of a mystery. It did not seem
to occur to any of them, however, that she
was out of her mind.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN INSANE.
The incidents that led up to the suicide
occurred in Savannah. When a Morning
News reporter called at No. 56 Barnard
street last night, he found, the occupants
in a great state of excitement. A telegram
had just been received addressed to that
number announcing Mrs. Akridge’s sui
cide,and asking for information concerning
her. Although a shock, the telegram was
no surprise to the people of the house,
owing to the incidents preceding her de
parture. On Tuesday morning her
brother. Raymond Sanford, called at the
house She was expecting him,
as she had told Mrs. Bryan that
her brother bad failed in business, which
had caused him to become insane, and
that he was going to kill her.
Young Sanford went up to her room.
No. 15. and knocked on the door. She
refused to open the door, claiming
that she was bathing, and told
him that she would meet him
at the home of her aunt, Mrs. M. S.
Haupt, on Anderson street, in the after
noon. Sanford did not seem inclined to
go away, however, and remained around
the house.
THREW A NOTE OUT OF THE WINDOW.
Mrs. Akridge remained in her room and
threw the following note out of her win
dow to Mrs. Bryan:
My brother is here and wants me. He is
Insane and wants to kill me. Please protect
me, in God's name. I dare not leave the
room. lam nervous.

one could be secured and when.he arrived

DANGER JUST AHEAD,
A Prominent Professor Speaks About the
Threatening Things Abroad at This
Time of the Y*ear.
It is surprising how many people are suf
fering to day from so-called coughs, colds and
influenza.” .
The remark was made by a very prominent
professor, connected with one of the leading
New York hospitals. Continuing, he said:
‘lt is net these things that are troubling
people, but It Ig an advanced form of our bid
enemy, the grip. People feel out of sorts,
sneeze, have pains in the muscles and bones,
have no appetite, lose all interest in the world
and wonder wnat is the matter. It is the grip;
nothing else. "
“Now, all such symptoms need to have
prompt treatment. The attack must be met
and repelled at once, or it is certain to run
into something serious. I know of but one
way to certainly avoid these troubles which
are now so common, and that is, to imme
diately counteract them by usimg a good
pure, strong stimulant. Nothing of the ordi
nary kind, out something pure and scientific.
Jor this purpose nothing has ever equaled
Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey, which is ac
knowledged to-day by physicians and sclen
titic people to t© the only pure, medicinal
malt whiskey upon the market.”
The words of the professor are true and
they carry a wonderful meaning to many
men and women who are suffering with the
first symptoms of grip, or else grip in its ad
vanced stages. For all such people we offer
a word of advice; which is to take the best
means to overcome these troubles and do not
permit any dealer to swerve you from your
purpose to have that which has proven itself
by years of use. to be the best and purest
stimulant in the world.
A SET BACK FOR WILSON,
Tie Internal Revenue Bill to Be
Tacked to His Bill.
The Democrats Decide on This Ac
tion in Caucus by a Vote 89 to 71.
The Vote on the Tariff Bill Post
poned to Feb. 1, to Give Time for
Debate on the Internal Revenue
Feature—The Income Tax Proposi
tion Included in the Scheme—Mr.
Wilson Fought the Proposition All
the Way Through.
Washington, Jan. 25.—8 y a vote of 89 to
71 the democrats of the House of Repre
sentatives, in caucus this evening, voted
to make the internal revenue bill, includ
ing the income tax, an amendment to the
customs revenue bill now before the
House. The caucus was held immediately
after the adjournment of the House this
afternoon and was in session two hours.
It was attended b.v an unusually large
number of representatives, the roll call
showing 164 present, and the proceedings
were attended with more interest and pa
tience than those of any caucus of recent
years. Representative Fithian, of Illinois,
at the beginning presented the following
resolution:
Resolved. That it is the sense of this cau
cus of the democratic members of the Fifty
third congress that tho House bill, entitled
‘A bill to impose a tax on corporate and in
dividual incomes, to increase the tax on dis
tilled spirits, and for other purposes.'’ be of
fered as an amendment to the present tariff
bill now under discussion by tho Fifty-third
congress.
ITS SUPPORTERS AND OPPONENTS.
This resolution was supported by Rep
resentative Hatch, of Missouri, Repre
sentative Bryan, of Nebraska, Represent
ative Hall, of Missouri, and by Repre
sentative Fithian himself, the latter’s
speech being greeted with hearty ap
plause.
Representatives Reid.v, of Pennsyl
vania, Black, of Illinois. Tracy, of New
York, and Wilson, chairmah of the com
mittee on ways and means, opposed the
resolution.
Mr. Wilson was permitted, by unani
mous consent, to speak twenty minutes,
although at first, the motion to grant
him this extension of'time—the caucus
was operating under the five-minute rule
—was objected to by Representative Liv
ingston, of Georgia, who subsequently
withdrew his objection.
WILSON OPPOSES IT.
Mr. Wilson appealed to Mr. Fithian to
withdraw his resolution, and failing in
this proposed as a substitute for it a reso
lution to the effect that the internal
revenue bill be taken up next Tuesday,
after the Wilson bill should have t een
voted upon by the House, and two days
given to its consideration. Mr. Wilson
argued that to attach the internal revenue
bill with the income tax feature to the
pending measure put the latter in great
peril. He pointed out that this was es
sentially the republican programme. They
desired, and would vote to have the in
come tax bill attached to the tariff bill,
but would then vote against the passage
of the combined measure.
M’MILLIN ADVOCATES THE RESOLUTION.
Mr. McMillin, a member of the com
mitee on ways and means, and author of
the internal revenue bill, advocated Mr.
Fithian s resolution and made the point
that it would be ne. essary for the gov
ernment as quickly as possible to realize
receipts from tho various sources of rev
enue that were open to it. As soon as the
internal revenue bill became a law, a por
tion at least of the increased tax on
whisky would be available, and it was
both expedient and wise to make no delay
in the enactment of the internal features
into law.
COCHRAN AGAINST IT.
, The proposition of Mr. Fithian was
combatted b.v Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, a
member of the committee on rules, and
by Bourke Cockran, of New York, of the
ways and means committee, whoso opposi
tion to the income tax scheme is well
known.
The interest in the question developed
considerable heat at times, especially,
v/niie Messrs. Wilson, McMillin and
Cockran were talking. They were pressed
with questions from many of the mem
bers of the caucus, and at times it was
almost impossible to distinguish what
was being said.
But the action of the caucus, according
to high democratic authorities, does not
bind any one, and what proportion of the
seven tv-one who voted against combining
the two bills will vote against the passage
of the new measure cannot he stated.
The friends of the income tax do not fear
that it will meet defeat, asserting that
from otie-half to three-fourths of those
who voted with Mr. Wilson to-night will
be found voting with him upon the final
passage of the bill in its favor.
MR. FITHIAN CARRIES THE DAT.
At the close of Mr. Cockran’s remarks,
the vote was taken upon Mr. Wilsons
substitute, through tellers, resulting—
yean 71, nays 89.
Can motion of Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska,
Mr Fithian’s resolution was amended so
as to provide for three days of debate
upon the internal revenue part of the bill,
b'M was then adopted vive voce.
The effect, of this action is to postpone
from next Monday until Thursday, Feb
i, a vote upon the pending measure. The
committee on rules is requested to bring
in the necessary order to morrow.
, THB ACTION DECLARED BINDING.
As the members separated, Mr. Cock
ran shouted to the chairman, "I wish you
would announce that the vote cau
cus does not bind any one, to which Mr.
Holman, who was in the chair, responded,
••It binds every one ”
Before the caucus adjourned, a letter
was read from Senator Gorman suggest
ing Dial action be taken looking toward
the appointment of a congressional cam
paign committee. It was decided that
the various state delegations should name
their respective members of the commit

THE WARRING COMMISSIONERS.
Commissioner Carson Talks Plainly
to Commissioner Dale.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 25.—Editor Morn
ing News: In your issue of even date, I
find a communication dated Jan. 22.,
signed “J. J. Dale, Chairman.’’ It ap
pears to be an official document addressed
to yourself, but as I am not apprised of
any authority delegated to Mr. Dale, to
affix “Chairman” to his signature in this
instance, I shall take cognizance of it as
if it were signed. “J. J. Dale.”
I hardly think it necessary to back up
any statement I may make with a card or
communication from others embodied
in it.
If Mr. Dale, in his endeavor to get at
the facts on which the assertions I made
in an interview published on Jan. 15 were
practically based, had examined the
records In the county commissioners’ and
engineer’s office, he would have found:
1. That the present board of commis
sioners took their oath of office on Satur
day, March 4, 1893.
2. That the regular monthly meeting of
the board was held on Wednesday, March
8, 1893.
3. That on Thursday, March 9, 1893, the
Hon. J. J. Dale, chairman, gave orders to
the county engineers to at once repair
the Buckhalter bridge and road.
4. That in compliance with this order,
the necessary lumber was sent out on
Friday, March 10, 1893.
5. That on Saturday, March 11, 1893,
carpenters began work on said bridge,
and had same well nnder way by Monday
evening, March 13,1893.
6. That on Tuesday morning, March 14,
1893, a squad of the chain gang was put to
work on said road.
The commissioners, held an adjourned
session on Wednesday afternoon, March
15, 1893.
The engineer in his report presented at
that meeting says: “Buckhalter Road
and Bridge.” ”By instructions of the
honorable chairman, I sent a force yester
day morning to work on the road and
bridge, etc.”
This report was received as informa
tion. There is no record of any order
being passed in reference to this matter
up to this date.
As Commissioner Dale ‘‘has now had
ample time to make corrections, and as
he has not chosen to do so, etc.,” the
statement of the engnieer must be ac
cepted. Perhaps Mr. Dale, knowing,
th it the fact of his ordering the work
done and that work under his orders was
being done, was reported by the en
gineer to the hoard on March 15, said
report being received as information,
conceived that that was a confirmation
of his action.
Nevertheless, the fact stands that the
work was ordered and was commenced,
before knowledge of same was officially
had by the board.
Perhaps the silence of the hoard when
the report was read might he construed
as consenting to the work, but then the
honorable chairman has ruled that
"silence does not denote consent.”
Mr. Dale knows that 1 am not in charge
of nor responsible for the work or manner
in which the convicts work. The insin
uations made in various ways from time
to time, are directed against an officer of
the board who is capable, progressive and
conscientious. As long as he is deserv
ing. attacks of such character have no ef
fect on me.
I am bewildered by the tender fatherly
advice and anxious solicitude manifested
by Mr. Dale toward and for me in his
peroration, and cannot help but believe,
as I have always been led to, that he is
one of my warmest friends. Perhaps a
better friend to me than to himself.
J. A. G. Carson.
TROUBLESOME BOYS.
City Authorities Asked to Abate the
Nuisance.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 24.—Editor Morn
ing News: There is a crowd of idle
boys who make it their business to hang
around the corner of Duffy and Jefferson
streets all the afternoon, and in fact, all
day. It is very annoying to the neighbors,
and I think the city authorities should
break it up. A Citizen.
City Real Estate.
Editor Morning News: I have noticed
within a month past many edito
rials in leading papers, east, south and
west, on city real estate as an investment.
They contend that it is the best property
for present and future profits in this
country. Those papers have been review
ing and commenting on the decline in val
ues of all other properties, aud they say
that city real estate is the solitary ex
ception to the rule. I cannot quote from
all.
The Denver Times calls attention to the
conclusion reached by the eastern papers
on the value and firmness of city real es
tate and then says:
"The increase of population by increas
ing production and competition, with the
ever augmenting aid of modern inven
tions, would tend to lower the price of
most things, even if we had a stable
standard of value which was enlarged
step by step with the growth of business.
But there is one thing upon the price of
which this natural progress has the re
verse effect. It is city real estate. Its
value is enhanced. Location being every
thing, no lot can be duplicated. All the
cit.v can do is to spread. And spread it
does.”
The Atlanta Constitution says:
“it is believed that this state of affairs
foreshadows a general advance in the
class of property mentiohed as soon as
people stop piling up idle money in tho
banks. People who have invested in other
things have regretted it since the depres
sion came on, and when they get back
their money, or a part of it, they will
hasten to nut it in the only thing that has
weathered the storm. City real estate is
as safe as government bonds, for it con
tinues to grow in value even after govern
ments and their oonds come to an end.
As city real estate has kept up through
the panic when everything declined ex
cept gold, the masses of investors will
quickly come to tho conclusion that it is
the best thing they can put their money
into.”
The American Land and Title Regis
ter for January says: “Real estate has
held its own during the depression. This
might have been expected. Our cities
and towns are growing all the time, and
must continue to grow. Our population
doubles in every generation, and as the
supply of land is limited it must necessa
rily rise in value. Real estate in a city or
town cannot be duplicated. Jt is bound
to increase in value, because cities and
towns must grow.”
This concurrence of opinions, coming
from many sections of the country, has
led me to consider this subject and to ap
ply those views to our own city. Our
people are depressed, and a few timely
thoughts might encourage the holders of
real property to hold it for better times.
This depression cannot continue much
longer. It would bo against nature and
experience. This country struck bottom
last summer, and the tide is risiug. This
is evident to any one who will take a view
as broad as the whole United States.

Some people begrudge the little money
that an Allcock’s Porous Plaster costs,
and then when they are racked with pain
from a lame back, or from the soreness
arising from a cold, they will spend any
amount of money to relieve the pain. Ir
they only had one of these world-renown
ed piasters on hand they would be saved
a vast amount of suffering and be consid
erably richer. At the first sign of stiff
ness of the joints apply one of these plas
ters without any delay. The soreness
will be greatly relieved at once and soon
disappear entirely. It will be money
saved to have them on hand, to say no
thing of the comfort they bring.
