without delay. Respectfully,
Judson Harmon,
Attorney General.
A J. Crovat, Esq., Brunswick, Ga.,
Through William T. Gary, Esq., United
Sates Attorney, Augusta, Ga.: Judge
Crovatt then took the oath required of
him as special assistant to the district
attorney, after which Judge Speer asked
him if his tirm. Messrs. Crovatt & Whit
field, did not represent the King of Spain.
Judge Crovatt replied that the government
of Spain was the' client of his tirm.
“When you take this oath,” Judge
Speer sail, "remember that you are the
representative of the United States, and
no longer represent the government of
Spain.'
“Certainly,” Judge Crovatt replied, "I
Intend to do so. If the United States pays
the fee, it will be satisfactory.”
Mr. John K. Hartridge Of -Jacksonville,
who, with Mr. Walter G. Charlton, repre
sented the owners of the Dauntless, then
made objection to the libel on the ground
that it was not specific, and that while it
charged the tug with a violation of the
navigation laws in going to a foreign port,
which its charter did not allow, it did not
specify to what foreign port or foreign
country, and that, therefore, the defend
ant was not put upon notice of what it
would have to answer. Mr. Charlton also
made an argument on this line, while the
dictrict attorney held that he already
alleged the crime, and insisted that all
that was necessary was to prove that the
Dauntless had left Woodbine to go off to
some foreign port. Judge Speer, however,
did not agree with him. as will be seen
from his remarks and decision with regard
to the argument, which are as follows:
The libel Is made on Information of Wil
liam T. Gary, attorney of the United
States for the southern district of Geor
gia. who. as is his duty, prosecutes for
the United States. The averment is,“That
the steamboat Dauntless, being then and

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stom
ach Trouble.
Instantly Relieved anil Permanent
ly Cared by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, Hut Not a Pat-lit
Medicine.
Dr. Redwell relates an interesting ac
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia bx the use of the new discovery,
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seem
ed to sour and create acid and gaseH in
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma
tism in the back, shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating,
hpoor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
sleeplessness at night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment, I finally bought a fifty-cent.
package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at
a drug store and gave them to him. Al
most immediate relief was given, and
after he had used four boxes he was to
all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has gain
ed between 10 and 12 pounds in weight of
solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet
1 consider them a most valuable addition
to any physician’s line of remedies, as
they are perfectly harmless and can be
given to children or invalids or in any con
dition of the stomach with perfect safety,
being harmless and containing nothing
but vegetable and fruit esserices, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
Without any question “they are the saf
est, most effective -cure for indigestion,
biliousness, constipation and all derange
ments of the stomach, however slight or
severe.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are made by
the Stuart Cos. of Marshall, Mich., and
sold by druggists everywhere at fifty
cents per package.
Little book on stomach diseases mailed

ftcient, I think, to have charged that he
went to a port in a particular country,
but that the name of the port is to the
relator unknown, or that he went
within soundings, or within an
chorage of a particular country, or to a
given point on the high seas, to be marked
approximately by its latitude and longi
tude, or to a meeting point with another
vessel on the high seas. In other words,
any certainty of statement which woqld
give him definite information as to the
character of the accusation under which
his vessel is held. Then the law pre
sumes he will be prepared to rebut it.
But how can he rebut this charge? How
could he bring witnesses to meet the al
legations of this indefinite character? I
do not think it would be possible for him
to do so, unless it was competent for Idm
to bring witnesses from every possible
port which the Dauntless might have gone
to, and the district attorney under the
present libel, if it were legal, could intro
duce evidence of any foreign voyage
whatsoever without any power on the part
of the defendant to disprove it. So I
must hold that the libel is insufficient, and
that the exceptions must.be sustained."
Under this decision in the case there
was nothing for the district atorney to do
but submit whjch he did very gracefully,
and askedi.leave of the court to be al
lowed to iJftiend his libel, and bring it up
in the amended form. This he said he
thought he could do shortly, though he
had first to consult with his witnesses.
He stated.'to the Court he thought he
could have'the matter ready by 10 o'clock
this morning, and that he would make
every effort to do so, though he would not
be absolutely certain.
"Well don’t you think you can have It
ready by that time?” the court asked.
“I cannot promise, but I will make every
effort to do so,” Maj. Gary replied.
“Weil you must have it ready in the
morning, and by 10 o’clock,” "Judge Speer
said, and Maj. Gary acquiesced.
Maj. Gary spent the afternoon and last
night in consultation with his witnesses
in the matter, and will probably present
practically anew libel to the court this
morning. The proceedings in the case will
undoubtedly be quite Interesting.

THE PLANT SYSTEM’S ‘’SPECIAL.”
The Electric Vestibule's First Trip
of Hie Season.
The Plant system’s "Florida Special”
passed through Savannah yesterday, ar
riving here at 2:06 o’clock in the afternoon
and leaving at 2:21.
The train takes 37 as its southbound
and 38 as its north bound number. Ail
the cars are Pullman’s vestlbuled, elegant
ly furnished, and with the latest improve
ments and conveniences. Composing the
train are sleeping, parlor, dining, library
and observation ears, steam-heated and
lighted by electricity. Every provision that
is possible is made In the appointments
and fittings of the cars for the luxurious
comfort, ease and entertainment of the
southern tourist.
The train was run With great success
last year. Its popularity was evinced by
the constant tide of southern tourists that
sought it as the pleasant means of rapid
conveyance from the frozen north to the
smiling land of sunshine, flowers and trop
ical fruits. The route over which the spe
cial runs is safe and settled, having the
advantage of early construction, with the
resunant ease and comfort that an old
roadbed affords the traveler. No jolting,
jarring and bumping comes to any train
on the route over the Plant system, the At
lantic Coast Line and the Pennsylvania
that the "Florida special” takes, but that
magnificent train has its particular advan
tages in the elegance and luxury that
draws many a traveler. The vestibuled
cars make the train solid. Movements
from one car to the other are free and un
restricted. No rush of air, cinders and
dust greets the passenger as he opens a
door, and without danger, egress from *ne
car gains entrance to another.
The train runs a flying schedule, leaving
New York at 4:30 o'clock In the afternoon;
it arrives at Jacksonville twenty-six hours
later, at 6:30 the following afternoon.
LUXURY ON THE MOVE.
F. C. nml P.’s First Vestibule Files
i'll rough With 04 Pussen&'ers.
The first New York and Florida special
vestibuled Pullman train via the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad, arrived
in the city yesterday at 12:22 o’clock, city
time, on schedule time.
A representative of the Morning News
met this first vestibuled train of the sea
son at Columbia, S. C., and made the trip
to Savannah. The ride gave ample evi
dence that the reports of luxurious travel
on these handsome trains have not been
exaggerated.
This train left New York, via the Penn
sylvania railroad, Monday at 12:10 p. m.,
and made the run over that road, over
the Southern and over the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular on good time, arriving
in Savannah at the hour stated. Leav
ing Jersey City it carried six Pullman
vestibuled oars, one baggage car, a din
ing car and four sleepers. The dining
car was dropped at Washington, D. C.,
Monday night after supper, and the sleep
ing car "Nice,” from New York, was
dropped at Columbia for Augusta, this
regular service having been established
wiih this train between these two points.
At Columbia the train took on the din
ing car Southern in time for breakfast,
so that passengers throughout the trip
were furnished with all dining-car accom
modations, and such as are only first class,
and as passengers on those trains seek.
The other cars on the train were the sleep
er Zeus, the compartment car Columbia
and the combination sleeper ami observa
tion car Nysa. The compartment car is
a specially attractive feature, which is
not carried by any other vestibuled train
in the south. It contains eight state rooms
and two drawing rooms, which afford pri
vacy and conveniences which are not
given in the ordinary sleeping cars.'
Everybody knows what a Pullman sleep
ing car is, but it seemed that the company
had surpassed itself in preparing these
coaches. They have been improved and
remodeled, until they are the very acme
of perfection in the way of sleeping and
parlor cars. They are the trains of the
millionaires of the north, who have about
as much time as they have money, and
come south in the cold season to spend a
portion of- both.
The train was in charge of Pullman Car
Conductor J. E. Cardiff, and for the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular, Conductor J.
Z. Glass, one of the best known and most
congenial on the road, had charge of it
between Columbia and St. Augustine. The
well known engineer, Tom Cleary of Sa
vannah, held the throttle on No. 71, one
of the big new engines the road has re
cently purchased, and he knows how to
make the time without pushing it.
Among the well-known railroad men
who were on the train were Messrs. I. M.
Fleming, district freight and passenger
agent; William Butler, Jr., district passen
ger agent; A. D. Peck, train master; and
E. Burton, master mechanic of the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad, and Mr.
W. M. Taylor, district passenger agent of
the Southern railway, who made the trip
all the way from Jersey City. All of the
railroad men kept a close lookout as to the
train service, and wherever improvements
are needed to make it the best that can
possibly be given, they will be made.
This train arrived in Jacksonville at 3:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and at Bt.
Augustine at 4:30, central standard time.
The first VMttibuled Ira in via the Florida
Central and Peninsular and Southern go
ing north will leave St. Augustine this
morning at 9:60 o’clock, central
time, and will arrive here at 2:44 p. m.,
and leave at 2:56 p, m. This service will
be given daily in both directions. Yes
terday's vestibuled train brought sixty
four passengers from the north for south
ern points, mostly for Florida.
TREE'S EVIDENCE ALL IN. '
The Contestant's Testimony in the
First Illstrlet Furnished.
Justice Wickham, with his attorney,
and W. F. Thee, the contestant for the
office of the elective justice of the First
militia district, were present yesterday
morning at 10 o’clock, at the court room
of Justice Bevans. That was the hour
Bet for the resumption of the evidence
taking on the contestant's side, but his
attorney, Mr. W. F. Slater, was not on
hand.
A message sent to him brought the an
swer that there was no further evidence
to he adduced on his side. On the re
ceipt of thi* message the hearing of the
testimony for the contestant was an
nounced concluded.
Justice Wickham has ten days in which
to bring witnesses in rebuttal of the evi
dence furnished by Thee. He seems confi
dent that the latter has no case, and says
lhat the only possible point he has on
which to base his contest is the matter of
Henry Garwea' eligibility to act as one
of the board of managers. Justice Wick
ham claims that Garwea is not a freehold
er, as his property has had deeds to it
transferred to one of the banks of the
city to cover a debt,

The largest railroad bridge in the world
has been recently opened to traffic. This
bridge is over the Danube river in Europe,
at a place called Cxemavoda. The struc
ture is more than nine miles long ln its
passage over the Danube proper and the
marshes that line either bank. Over the
main current of the river are the longest
spans. One of these Is 620 feet long and
four that are each 455 feet. Without Us
approaches the bridge proper is 13,325 feet
long. The same measurements applied to
the other great bridges of the world show
that the bridge over the Tay In Scotland
ranks second with its length of 10,726 feet.
Mississippi bride, at Memphis. Is 10,600 feet
long; the Forth bridge, in Scotland, 7,800;
the Morody bridge, In Gailoia. 4,800 feet,
and the Volga bridge, at Sysran, 4,700. The
largest vessel sailing the “beautiful blue
Danube” can pass under the bridge, which
is 106 feet above high water mark, the dis
tance being measured from the lowest
timbers. By the new route which the
bridge opens up, the old time between Lon
don and Constantinople is snortened by
sixteen hours.
Mr. J. M. Culp, traffic manager of the
Southern, and Mr. H. F. Smith, the gen

a part of the original grant to one of her
ancestors still belonged to her at the time
of her death, having, through all the gen
erations, remained in the family.
Mrs. Solomons was in her Stith year.
Her life had been an eventful one. In
its long duration she had seen many
changes. During the civil war she was a
staunch and true confederate, and her
love for tlie cause was shown in many
ways. The sick and wounded southern
soldiers found comfort and care at her
hands in the Savannah hospitals, where
she took pleasure in ministering to their
needs as an attendant.
From the period of civil war and strife
to the time when the restraining hand of
age was laid upon her philanthropic
works, the relief of the needy was her
ruling desire, and deeds of charity, com
ing from her, gladdened many a heart.
For many years she was a directress of
the Abrams home.
On account of her extreme age, Mrs.
Solomons' death was not unexpected. The
end that cuts off all human careers was
in her case expected at almost any time,
as the decadence of the earthly body
comes with the fullness of the years that
were hets. She was feeble for some ten
days prior to her taking away, but death
was due mainly to old age.
Mrs. Solomons was the daughter of Dr.
Moses Sheftall, the son of Mr. Mordecai
Sheftall.
The late Sheftall Sheftall, an uncle of
the deceased, reared her to womanhood.
Mr. Sheftall lived them on Broughton
street. The old frame house still stands
just east of Barnard street. Mrs. Solo
mons was the widow of the late Lizar
Solomons, who died In 1889. Their mar
riage took place in 1847.
A number of years ago Mrs. Solomons
presented Solomons' lodge of Masons
with a gavel, that to the lodge, possess
ed historic value. It was made from the
oak whose sheltering hollow served,
away back in the time of the revolution,
to secrete the lodge's charter from the
British redcoats. Her great grandfathers
had hidden the document in the tree.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at 3:30 o'clock from the deceased's
late residence.
TIIEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr. nml Mrs. Joseph I.eConte I'ele
brnto It t Milleilgeville.
The many friends and acquaintances in
Savannah of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph De-
Conte will join in congratulations to
them In honor of their golden wedding, the
50th anniversary qf their marriage having
been celebrated Jan. 14 at Milledgeville,
the place where, fifty years ago, Joseph
DeConte and Miss Caroline Elizabeth Nis
bet were married. Both are well known
Georgia names.
The name of Nisbet has been prominent
w;.(h the bench und the bar, and the lat
ter, DeConte, is a shining star in the
twentieth century's galaxy of scientists.
Dr. DeConte has become well known
throughout the world on account of his
connection with the University of Cali
fornia, and his many scientific publica
tions, which are so able and so thorough
that they are used as text books in many
schools and universities throughout the
country. Both are Georgia families, which
have a justly proud record, and one that
will he long remembered.
