Bank of Savannah, and liims< If one of 1 •
largest individual creditors; Attormy I>< 11-
raark of the Merchants 'Hank of Valdo-ia,
Attorney Miller of the Exchange Bank of
Macon.
The usual filibustering tactics common to
suits involving much litigation were n
sorted to, each side trying to gain advan
tages for their clients.
Goodyear & Kay addressed the court on
the grounds that the various oreditors and
stockholders were working on a reorgani
sation plan which would probably bo per
fected to-morrow and relievo the courl
from appointing a permanent receiver.
Attorney Johnson presented a bill from
various creditors alleging reckless, care
less, negligent and incompetent, misman
agement of the Merchants’ and Traders’
by its officers, and wanted the receiver’s
appointment postponed.
Attorney Owens of Savannah wanted
the appointment postponed until he could
study Attorney Johnson’s amendment.
Attorney Krauss presented a petition
from various creditors requesting that no
(stockholders in the bank be appointed r< -
eeiver.
Judge Sweat stated his belief that the
causes shown by various attorneys were
not sufficient and the receiver was ap
pointed. If at any time the stockholders
and creditors want to reorganize the bank
and take its affairs out of the court, the
court, upon proper showing, will dismi-s
the receivership.
Frankly stated, there is but little hone
of the assets of the bank paying out. It is
more than probable that a heavy assess
ment will be made on the stockhol bu s.
The assets taken as a whole do not appe ir
to be worth over (id cents on the dollar,
and it is doubtful If they will reach that
much.
The state Is a preferred creditor for
$5,200. Fortunately for the creditors the
stockholders are all solvent and practical
ly worth 100 cents on every dollar of as
sessment made necessary. Unfortunately
for Savannah banks and individuals there
ure good slices of stock in their hands.
The case of Paterson, Downing <£ <’o.,
et al., vs. the London Assurance Com
pany, et al., occupied a good deal of
Judge Sweat’s time’ to-day and to-night.
Its nature was fully stated in to-day's
Morning News.
The appointment of a permanent receiv
er for J. P. Davenport, grocer, has gone
over indefinitely. It mly lie heard to
morrow, or not until next week.
The municipal contest jurisdiction mat
ter will come up before Judge Sweat to
morrow al 2 o’clock. He will then decide
as to the merits of the claims
made in securing the prohibitory order.
Judge Sweat stated in open court to-day
that he was of the opinion that the gen
eral law of Georgia overshadows Bruns
wick's city charter, and by virtue of that
fact Ordinary Dart would have jurisdic
tion to try the contest eases.
CTRL'S TO HAAG.
The Negro Resigned to Ills Fate and
Spends His I.ast Day Alone.
Atlanta, Ga„ Jan. 6.—Tom Cyrus, the re
gro who killed Annie Johnson, a chamber
maid at the executive mansion, will be
hanged here to-morrow.
The woman was Cyrus' mistress and he
killed her in a jealous rage. After the
shooting he gave up to the police and at
the trial confessed his guilt. During his
confinement in the county Jail Cyrus has
been a model prisoner. Contrary to the
cusrorft In treating condemned prisoners'
Cyrus has been allowed the run of th>
jail without solitary confinement until to
day. This morning the death watch was
placed on him, as a matter of formality.
Cyrus is resigned to his fate, and ilijs

permitted to worry him.
CARAWAY NOT CONVICTED.
Tlie Evidence Against Him Not Con
sidered Strong Enough.
Hlnesvllle, Ga„ Jan 6.—F. W. Caraway
ot Florida was tried here to-day on a
charge of being an emigrant agent with
out the necessary license required by law.
The evidence was purely circumstanii and
and was very strong, but in the mind <,f
Judge Ashmore was not sufficient to w
rant a conviction, and therefo-e he 1, .
quitted Caraway. As stated in these di .
patches yesterday the turpentine nu n ,ir.

Morning News Neoops the State on
t’apt. English's Candidacy.
ulanta. Go., Jan. 6.—C.apt. J. W. Eng
to-day made the public announcement
his candidacy for mayor at the election
xt fall.
The Morning News scooped the town on
story of Capt. English’s intentions an.l
• plans afoot to give him the place he
ores to without a fight.
Not a word was printed here about the
nation until the local papers got the
•ry from Savannah. Then Capt. Eng
■ was interviewed and he did not hesi
to confirm the report of his intended
mdldacy.
rtless the well laid plans of the local
• iiticians go amuck. Capt. English will
i the mayoralty next time without a
•iitest, many leaders heretofore his
'owed political enemies are tulking in
his support, which is a most significant
rroboration of the reported understand
.g between (he factions that Capi. Eng
•sh is to have the mayoralty to round off
his career, then he retires from i>olitics for
good.
There is some talk of W. P. Hill as a
andtdate against Capt. English, also ot
Col. Albert Howell and Coi. E. P. Howell,
but the wiseacres of local politics do not
iiiarh much importance to this talk. The
Howells would, of course, make a warm
fight If they should go in, but the report
'd candidacy of Mr. Hill is regarded as a
joke.
RAD HOOKS HAGS.
Accused of Sending Them Out
Arrested at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 6.—James T. Green, a
publisher, witii an office at B'/j North For
:> !h street, was arrested this morning by
I'nited States officers, charged with send
ing obscene matter through the mails.
A wagon load of liooks were taken from
bis office this morning and are now in
possession of the government officials.
Green has claimed to be a publisher for
some time, and did an extensive business.
Little was known of him in the building
where he had his office. He attended to
his own affairs strictly and did not mingle
with the business men in the building.
For some time obscene matter has been
M>nt through the Atlanta postoffice. Gov
ernment inspectors were notified of the
tact and went to work on the case. They
finally secured evidence which they claim
will convict Green, and this morning it
was deemed advisable to arrest him.
The publications which it is claimed
have been put in circulation by Green are
of a most notorious character. The post
office inspectors say thnt there Is no doubt
that Green Is guilty of having violated the
postal laws. They say that they have an
almndance of evidence against him and
Ih.lt his conviction is a certainty.

EXPRESS ROBBERY EPIDEMIC.
TRUSTED EMPLOYE SKIPS FROM
NEW YORK W ITH $10,528.
Ini proves an Opportnnlty Afforded
Him While Acting us Night Mann
ger to Steal Two Valuable Pack
ages—Theft Committed the First
Nlgltt He Is Put In the Position.
Ills Haste So Greut That He Over
looked $25,000.
New York, Jan. 6.—The American Ex
press Company was robbed to-day of $lO,-
'•2B, and Clark Braden, Jr., a trusted em
ploye, Is missing. Central office detec
tives and private detectives are hunting
for him.
Three days ago the night manager in
charge of the office at Forty-seventh
street and Madison avenue was taken ill
and Braden, a clerk of the company for
more than ten years, was temporarily sub
stituted.
This office the company uses as a clear
ing house for all its matter received from
or sent to the Grand Central station.
Among the parcels to be sent on the 6:30
train on the Hudson River road that
morning was two packages, one contain
ing the amount of $5,582 in bonds of the
Consumers’ Gas Company of Chicago, and
another containing SS,(MX).
It was Rraden’s task to take the matter
to the train, return to the t/ffiee and re
main on duty until 5 o’cloc k. When the
other employes arrived Braden was not
in the office. The safe was locked and
there was no receipt for valuable pack-
ages sent by the morning train, although
Ihe books showed that several such par
cels had been received at the office.
At first the absence of Braden and the
receipts were set down to carelessness.
But a few minutes later the leather bags
which had contain'd the packages were
found under some other freight. They
nad been cut open and the money and
bonds taken. Thot tlie robbery was hast
ily carried out was shown by the fact that
$25,000, mostly in cash, wns left in the
safe, and that the bonds were taken.
Notices were sent to every hank and
financial institution in the country warn
ing them against purchasing the stolen
gas bonds. These bonds have a face value
of $5,000, hut are worth in other markets
$5,860. They are for SI,OOO each, issue.l in
18!>C and bearing 6 per cent, interest. They
are numbered 1603, 1827, 2850, 4000 and 4191.
Chicago, Jan. 6.—The Chicago police
were requested this evening by the Pink
erton detective agency to apprehend
Clark Braden, the absconding clerk of the
American Express Company, in the New
York office. Instead of a SIO,OOO robbery,
as rumored at first, the loss suffered by
the express company, through the clerk's
disappearance, Is, the Pinkerton’s allege,
$30,000. According to the statement ma le
by the detective agency of the amount ta
ken hy Braden, $25,000 was in currency,
consisting of fifty SSOO-bills and five $1,00)
gold bonds of the Consumers Gas Com
pany of Chicago.

MEN THAT ARE DOOMED,
AND YET WHO DO NOT REALIZE
TUtIK DANGER.
Why I'eople Drift Along Until It Often
Is Too Late, Explained by a Scion of
Science.
“I met n gentleman on the street to-day
whom I have not seen for some time, but
the moment my eyes rested upon him. I
could see that he was doomed."
It was a member of the faculty of a New
York medical college who ma.le this state
ment.
"I saw,” he continued, ‘‘that peculiar
color of countenance, that lack of expres
sion In the eyes and puffiness under the
li<ls which indicate the presence of the
most horrible of all known diseases. The
corners of the man’s mouth were some
what drawn down and the lines of the face
were distinctly marked. I felt like warn
ing him, but l was not on sufficiently in
timate terms to warrant my doing It, so
I merely stated that he was looking as
though he were not in the best of condi
tion.
“ ’Oh. I am all right!' he exclaimed. ’ln
fact, i think I am enjoying very good
heilth. It is true,’ he continued, ‘that I
do not always sleep well, my appetite is
rather fickle ahd i feel unaccountably tired
at time, but I have no pain whatever, and
I think I am getting .along all right.’
"I left him with a warning not to be too
certain about his condition, but I tell you
that unless that man takes prompt action
of the right kind, he is a candidate for the
grave, and that, too, within a limted
period.”
"And yet he dees not know it!”
"The thing which makes Bright’s dis
ease of the kidneys, which that man un
doubtedly has, the most dangerous of all
diseases is that it has no symptoms of its
own. I mean that pain is seldom felt in
the kidneys themselves, and yet I deliber
ately state as a physician that nearly one
half of the deaths in America are caused
by Bright's disease of the kidneys. This
may sound like a rash statement, but I
am prepared to fully verify it. Hundreds
of burial certificates have been made out
by family physicians for ‘heart disease,’
‘apoplexy,’ ‘paralysis,’ ‘spinal complaint,'
■rheumatism,’ ‘pneumonia’ and other com
mon complaints, when in reality it was
Bright’s disease of the kidneys."
“Few physicians and fewer people real
ize the extent of this disease or its danger
ous and insidious nature. It steals into
the system like a thief, manifests itself
by the commonest symptoms and fastens
itself upon the constitution before the vic
tim is aware of its presence. It is nearly
as hereditary as quite as
common and fully as fatal. Entire fam
ilies, inheriting it from their ancestors,
have died, and yet none of the number
knew or realized the mysterious power
which was removing them.”
"Not only this, but until recent years,
no remedy was known which could pre
vent or coure this most fearful of diseases,
and even to-day, with all the advancement
of science, there is but one known discov
ery by which it can be prevented, con
trolled when it is contracted, or finally
cured. That remedy is Warner’s Safe
Cure, and it has, to my certain knowledge,
saved more people from untimely deaths,
and is keeping more people in perfect
health to-day than any other discovery
ever known in the entire history of the
world.- It was concerning this remedy
that the late Dr. Dio Lewis said:
“While my own life has been devoted to
the prevention of disease, and while years
ago I gave up the use of medicines, I grate
fully recognize the precious value of War
ner's Safe Cure, and if I found myself the
victim of kidney trouble, I should instant
ly use it.”
When physicians of the highest stand
ing so unhesitatingly indorse a modern
discovery, which will certainly cure the
most terrible of diseases, does It not stand
to reason that those of us who realize
that we are slowly drifting into a state of
decline; that our kidneys, liver or uri
nary' organs are not what they should be,
should avail ourselves of the benefits of
so great a scientific discovery, which are
placed so easily within our roach?
