He presented to the Georgia
lloom.
, nc of the largest meetings of the Char
ts Chapter of Daughters of the Confetl
era,y wa s held yesterday afternoon at
Confederate hail. Its main attraction and
principal Interest was the talk by Miss
K ~ferine Stiles, vice regent of the Geor
y .1 room at the Confederate Museum In
Richmond, descriptive of the articles or
hi lorlc value, the pictures, manuscripis
lan l relics that have been collected and
are preserved there. Incidentally, and as
a prelude to her talk, Miss Stiles gave
a diort history of the organization of the
museum and of the noble work that it is
doing in searching out, collecting and pre
serving in enduring form the records of
the Confederacy and of the men who yield
ed up their lives In the struggle for its
establishment.
rile Confederate Memorial Literary So
ciety, which is the owner of the museum,
was chartered under the laws of the state
0 ; Virginia, "its object being to teach
all future generations the true history of
the war and the principles for which these
soldiers laid down their lives. The so
cle y has received from the city of Rich
mond the mansion which was occupied by
the Hon. Jefferson Davis, as his resi
ckm e. while he was President of the Con
federacy, one of the handsomest houses in
Richmond and standing in spacious
grounds. This house was used for many
years as a public school.
It is due to a Georgia woman that the
dedication of the White House of the Con
federacy to the uses to which it Is now
being put was rendered possible. Mrs.
Mary Deßenne of this city accumulated
during her lifetime a most valuable col
lectlon of Southern relics, and this col
lection was bequeathed by her son, Dr.
Everard Deßenne, to the society. The ed
ucational value of this collection was of
sufficient importance to authorize the city
of Richmond to deed the building the so
ciety had so long desired to it, which it
could'not do for other than a literary or
educational purpose. The museum was
formally opened on Feb. 22, 1896.
Since that time the women of the soci
ety have accumulated sufficient funds to
make the old building almost fireproof,
as nearly so as was possible, and in it
Confederate relics, manuscripts and in
teresting historical documents have been
collected and are carefully preserved.
The Georgia room contains some of the
most interesting and valuable relics and
manusenpts in the whole building, prom
inent among these being the “Mary De-
Renne, of Georgia Collection,” and the
''Gilmer Memorial.” The latter was pre
sented to the society by Gen. Gilmer’s
daughter, and numbers a pair of brass
spurs made from the sabots of the shells
thrown into Fort Sumter and presented
by the men who made them to Gen. Gii
m. r. One other pair of spurs were made
from this material and presented to Gen.
Reauregard.
In the museum a room has been as
signed to each of the Southern states, and
oa< h room is under the charge of a regent
and vice regenl, the latter being always a
residim of Richmond. Recently the so
eiciy has issued a catalogue, in which all
m the contents of the several rooms, that
had been received at the time of publi
■ uion, are described and credited to their
donors. The perishable manuscripts are
preserved in glass cases, which ward off
th discoloration and fading that would
result were not this precaution taken.
The society has also undertakers the
preparation of a roll of Honor, which,
wnen finished, will contain the name of
evfry worthy soldier who fought for the
Confederacy. Blank forms have been print
ed and are furnished by the society to the
various Confederate orders throughout the
country. These, when filled up, will show
the name and record of the soldier whoso
deeds h is intended to commemorate, and
when sufficient of them have been got to-
Sf'thor will bo found in permanent form
and placed upon the shelves of the mu
seum library. The state of North, Carolina
has already completed its roll of honor,
and has furnished to the society the name>
and record of every soldier who fought for
the Confederacy, in a. North Carolina reg
iment. during the civil war.
At the meeting of the Daughters the
members of the chapter were shown an
Inkstand that was used by President Da
vis throughout the entire time of his resi
dence in Richmond, and which was given
by him to Mrs. M. E. Robertson after the
last session of the Confederate cabinet
thai was held In her husband's' house at
" ushington, Ga. This inkstand It is the
hueiition of Mra Robertson to present to
the Georgia room in the museum.
Mrs. James L. Sexton, on behalf of Mr.
John Morrill of Eufaula, Ala., presented
the chapter with a gavel, made from
a tn<. growing on the lawn of the
state capital of Alabama, at Montgomery,
win rc Jefferson Davis was inaugurated
President of the Confederacy. Mr. Morrill
read in the papers the resolutions that
ha 1 !e-e n paused by the chapter protesting
against the proposed surrenderor the eem
eteries containing the Confederate dead to
the , ~,U r ni 0 f jbe national government,
and these resolutions agreed so well with

A BIG DAY'S WORK.
The City t'onrt Makes n Big Hole In
the Jail Gang.
The City Court broke all previous rec
ords in the criminal line yesterday by dis
posing of forty-nine criminal cases in one
day and that within about three hours.
The largest number of cases previously
disposed of in one day in the City Court
was forty-seven. The following parties
were found guilty of the charges against
them and sentenced as staled:
Ten negroes for stealing rides on passen
ger trains, 15 or three months each; John
McCauley, John McLean and John Snod
dery, $5 or three months each for carrying
concealed weapons; Henry and Wesley
Roblnsoq, twelve months each bn the gang
for robbing a colored man of a watch in
Yamacraw; Wylly Wilson, assault and
battery, six months; Henry Wilson, carry
ing concealed weapons, six months; Joe
Law. larceny of harness from city water
works, twelve months; Ed Brown, cheat
ing and swindling, $lO or three months;
Julian Fraser, stealing an overcoat, six
months; Sam Hayward, assault and bat
tery, three months; Rosa Green, cheating
and swindling, twelve months; John Wil
liamson, larceny, twelve months; John
Horton Dobbs, carrying concealed wea
pons, $10; Nathan Phillips, larceny, $lO or
six months.
Ned Williamson, the negro who was
Caught by Policeman Blumberg trying to
enter the store of the Ludden & Bates’
Southern Music House, was sentenced to
twelve months for carrying concealed wea
pons, the evidence against him not being
sufficient to found a charge for attempt
at burglary.
Various other parties who were not
guilty of the charges against them or
against whom the evidence was not suffi
cient, were discharged. The result of the
big day’s work of the City Court will be
to considerably relieve the pressure at the
jail as to well place a number of new
workers on the county improvements.
There are several of the number who are
likely to serve the full term of twelve
months by reason of inability to raise
money to pay the fines imposed.
SONG FOR 1)15,000 DAMAGES.
George Wllllnm* Claims He AAn*
Hart in the Hold of a Ship.
The greater part of the time of the'Su
perior Court yesterday was occupied in
hearing the cdse of George W. Williams
against Strachan & Cos. and R. F. Har
mon.
Williams is suing for $5,000 damages. He
was in the employ of the defendants on
Feb. 24, 1896, when he was engaged in
loading rosin in the hold of the vessel
St. Hubert. In some way a heavy bar of
iron slipped from the upper deck and
fell info the hold, striking Williams. The
latter claims that he was very severely in
jured and that he is entitled to heavy
damages. The defendants claim that Wil
liams was very slightly injured if at all
and that if entitled to recover at all the
sum must be very slight.
An effort Was made to impeach Williams’
character by showing that he at one
time did time on the gang.
Williams is represented by Tester &
Ravenel and the defendants by Mr. S. B.
Adams and Col. William Garrard. The
case is being very closely contested and
there were some sharp colloquies between
the attorneys yesterday.
Suit was first brought by Williams
against the ship, when a verdict was ren
dered in favor of the latter, the court
hoiding that the ship was not liable. The
attorneys for Williams then entered suit
against the charterers and stevedore and
it is this suit which is now in progress.
One of the incidents of the suit yester
day was the introduction by the defend
ants of a rough model of the hull of a
ship, showing the apparatus used and the
manner of lowering rosin into the holds
of vessels. The case was continued until
to-day.
WILL FINISH EXCHANGE PAVING.
City AA’ill Have Street at Ball and
Bay Open for Traffic To-tlay.
The public works department expects to
complete the brick paving in front of the
city exchange to-day. The foundation for
the paving insures that it will maintain an
even surface, and will probably therefore
stand much better against the test to
which it will be put.
It was the object of the Chattanooga
Paving Company in giving the city brick
for this purpose, to demonstrate their
adaptability for streets over which, there
is a great deal of travel. No place could
probably have been selected In Savannah
where heavier traffic passes more than at
frequently the front of the city exchange.
If the brick hold out well, as It is expected
they will do, Judginß from the way they
have stood on other streets, there Is a pos
sibility that the whofe of Bay street may
be treated the same way as that part of it
fronting the exchange.
The paving has been laid in an artistic
manner. At the turns In the space south
of the car tracks, the bricks have been
laid in a diagonal position, so that wagons
will pass over squarely in making the
turn. This not only saves the brick from
wearing, but keeps them in their proper
position.
REVIVAL SERVICES CONTINUE.
Dr. lliicliinan I Attracting Wide At
tention nt Lawton Memorial.
The revival services at the Lawton Me
morial that are being conducted by Dr.
Bachman, continue lo attract great at
tention. The speaker's subject lasi night
was "Following Christ,” and the sermon
was designed to allow the wickedness of
deserting the narrow road marked out by
the HaVtor of mankind and walking In the
ways of ein and ultimate bodily and spirit
ual death.
The sermon was a liowerful exhortation
to men to lend simple and pure life, and
produced a deep impression upon the con
gregation. Dr. Bachman wilt speak a*afh
to-night.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers

HAVE SECURED A COTTAGE.
Ladle* Hnve Tybee Home for Fresh
Air Fund Beneficiaries.
The ladles of the King's Daughters who
have had the "fresh air” fund in charge
have secured a cottage on Tybee. A meet
ing will be held Monday afternoon at 5
o’clock at No. 20 Harris street, west, the
home of one of the ladies, and it is proba
ble that a matron for the cottage will be
selected.
The Ulmer cottage on the island has been
secured for the summer. It is located
near the postoffiee, and is not near enough
to any others on the island to make the
conduct of the fresh air establishment a
source of annoyance to summer residents.
It is expected to open the cottage June
1, and the ladies hope to have ten chil
dren a week in charge of the matron.
An offer of a matron free of cost to the
ladies has been made by the Protestant
Episcopal Church board, but it is not
known whether the offer was made with
the proper understanding of Just what
the project is. It is thought ivosslble that
the church authorities may believe it to
be a sectarian pin,, t W>th Episcopalians
as the managers and 'befit flctirlos. Such
is not the case, and the authorities have
been so advised. The ladles are anxious
to have the church furnish the matron,
it it can be done under the circumstances,
and it is possible she may be sent.
The ladies are still engaged in raising
funds to defray the cost of their project.
They have already about $l5O, but require
about S2OO more in order to maintain the
number of children for a week that is de
sired. They will 'continue to solicit aid,
and the prospect of their being able to
accomplish all they wish seems favora
ble.
SAM HOSE'S LYNCHING.
The Sentiment* of n Southern Wo.
man.
Savannah, April 27.—Editor Morning
News: No one will deny that Sam Hose
was a devil incarnate, and his atrocities
deserving of any doom; but \thc men who
wreaked their vengeance upon him with
barbarities worthy of the cannibals of
darkest heathendom, were they not com
mitting a fearful crime against themselves
in slaying their own higher, better na
tures, and giving free rein to the baser?
See hoiv the thirst for blood grew Into
the lynching of a second man on the
mere assertion of tho first, though his
statement as lo his own guilt were un
hesitatingly rejected. If those barbarities
were of justice, pure and simple,
why was hot the same doom meted out
to Kerlin, whose crime, though less com
plex, wns equally fiendish? Cun the
hearts which gloated over that saturnaiia
of blood and flame in the Georgia woods
last Sunday, ever again harbor the spirit
of Christ, or find a congenial home in a
heaven illumined by the presence of In
effable love? I am a woman, descended
from a long line of Southern slave-hold
ers, but my soul sickens at the thought
of my Southern brothers transforming
themselves into demons In order to exe
cute vengeance upon a fellow demon. Let
the laws of God and man have swift and
righteous course upon those who trans
gress them, but let not Southern fathers,
husbands and brothers themselves be
recreant to law and to the Divine within
them, with the false Idea that thus they
best protect and avenge their women.
