WANT DAMAGES FOR A FIRE.

X'nlue V.ero Thun Destroyed.
A damage *uit very unusual in its na
ture was filed yesterday. in the United
States Circuit Court, to which ii was
transferred from the Superior Court o:
Thomas county. The plaintiffs are Mr.
George H. Stone and Mrs. Siafira S.
Stone cf Thomasville and the defendant
the Souihern Bell Telephone and Tele
fevaph Company.
The plaintiffs sue for the recovery of
the amount of tire damages they
claim to have suffered from Che negli
geni failure of the company to fulfil with
Ultra its contract to furnish telephone
service in the town of Thomasville. The
manner in Which the damages are suid
to have been incurred and the basis upon
which the suit is brought are sufficiently
strange and Interesting to be the subject
of more than passing notice.
The plaintiffs are wealthy Northern
people, formerly residents of Ohio, who
fer some years made their home in
Thomasville. At least it is their conten
tion, made in their petition, that their
domicile was there, but the defendants
avers that they continue to be citizens
of Ohio, though their residence during a
portion of the year may be in Thomas
•villc.
It is alleged that on Feb. 11, 1900, the
plaintiffs discovered their home was on
fire and made a prompt effort to commun
icate the fact to the headquarters of the
Thomasville fire department, with which
the telephone line connected. They were
unable to secure any response from the
central station of the te ephens company,
and under the impress on that their tele
phone was out of order made similar ef
forts to get the connection from the
•phones of seme of their neighbors. All of
these were equally unsuccessful with the
fir-t.
In this manner valuable time was lost,the
fire department did not reach the scene
cf the conflagration in time to atop the
ravages of the flames and in consequent e
the house and its valuable contends was
almost completely destroyed. The fire de
partment of the town was at the time of
the fire well and fully equipped, and had
it b en possible to notify it promptly, the
loss the fire caused qould have been eas
ily averted. ’lt is alleged that the and part
ment could have reached the scene of the
fire within a minute or two after it was
dis'overeJ, have played a str am of water
on the flam sand extinguished them.
The plaintiffs then go on to recite and
charge that their contract with the tele
phone company required it to furnish con
nection with the other subscribers over
the telephone lines at all hours of the day
and night. It Is charged that the failure
to secure the connection at the particular
time when it was most needed, was the
proximate cause of the conflagration, *r
fit any rate, of Its disastrous results, and
that the company should be held liaole
in damages for the loss that was thus in
curred. This is estimated to amount to
126.990.
Appended to the petition is n lengthy
schedule of the various articles which
combined constitute the property lost.
Sartiqg with the bouse, estimated to have
1 een worth SS.6Oi. it embraces a list of the
books in the family library, said to hav?
been worth almost as much more, follows
with the family furniture and plate, and
winds up with an inventory of the cloth
ing and wearing apparel of Mr., Mrs.
rind Miss Stone. The wardrobes of the two
latter appear to have been handsome and
elaborate, and embrace very many cos
tumes for occatioivs of more or less cere
mony and gorgeousness. Mr. Stone’s own
personal wardrobe contained the articles
that make up the wearing apparel of tiie
gentleman of some means und leisure.
and wns valuable in itself.
After the suit was instituted in the Su
perior Court of Thomas county a motion
wa* made by the defendant to have it
transferred to the Circuit Court of the
Unitedy States for this district, on the
ground that the amount in dispute ex
ceeded in value the sum of 92,000 and the
parties were residents of different state*.
The defendant corporation Is a citizen of
the state of New York. while the plain tiffs
are all said, In the motion for a removal,
to be citizen* of the state of Ohio. At
any rate it was clear that they were not
citizens of the same state and the mo
tion fora removal was granted. The usual
bond was filed and a certified copy of the
proceedings heretofore had has been de
posited with the clerk of the court here.
It is very doubtful if there is a case
even closely similar to this in the annals
of the law'. It marks an entirely new
departure and if recovery was had will
establish almost an entirely new precedent.
The effort to hold telephone companies
responsible in damages for loss resulting
from defects In ibeir service is attractive
ly uncommon.

AT THE COLORED COLLEGE.
Memorial >cr\ ieea In iiynor of Dr.
E. K. Love.
Yesterday was memorial day at the Col
ored College in honor of Rev. Dr. E. K.
Love. The ctiapel was decorated with
palmettoes and cedars and other shrub
bery and flow’ers. The memorial services
began at 2:30 o'clock with singing, "Shall
We Meet Beyond the River,” by the audi
ence. Rev, P. H. Travis led in prayer.
Mr. I. M. Jackson, a graduate of the
college and principal of its model school,
spoke upon Dr. Love as a pastor. He
showed where Dr. Love was broader than
his creed or his church; wherever God's
work was going on, in w hatever denomina
tion. if it was possible for his services to
be secured. Rev. Love would be there.
Prof. J. C. Ross, principal of the Bast
Broad (School, gave "a eulogy upon I)r.
Love. He said that Dr. Love's place as
pastor of the First Africtin Baptist Church
would he difficult to fill; that he was un
tiring and persevering and that whenever
he conceived a plan he did not cease until
he attained success In the plan.
The choir solemnly sang "The Book Is
Open."
“Dr. E. K. Love as a Negro" was ex
haustively discussed by Prof. D. C. Suggs,
vice president of the eotllege. His speech
was terse and forcible. #>i, extract of hi*
speech is given below in his own words.
"Dr. Love was a negro, and I thank
heaven for it. He was. one of those
'brothers in black’ that gave dignity and
strength and worth and manhood to the
word negro. He rejoiced that he was a
negro and boasted that the accident of his
color gave him opportunities for useful
ness far superior to those of the 'brethren
in white.' It is estimated that during his
ministry he probably baptized more than
10.0 CH) souls. If enterprise were started by
members of his race, he was among the
first to give them his support, and then
urge others to follow. He believed in ne
gro churches, negro preachers, negro
schools, negro teachers, negro lawyers, ne
gro doctors, negro mechanics, negro mer
chants. negro bankers, negro pajiers, ne
gro books. In short, he believed that the
demands for talent of every kind in any
other race were equally Imperative in
their application to life negro race. It was
his effort, that secured negro representa
tion on the board of the Baptist Publica
tion Society and on the faculty of the At
lanta Baptist College, inaugurated the idea
for establishing the missionary department
of the Baptist Church, and secured the lo
cation of the Georgia Stale industrial Col
lege. and that planted the educational tree
of hope in Macon, whose flowers of prom
ise are but forerunners of the ripened
fruit that will ere long enrich the race
and gladden the garners of the nation."
After this address resolutions upon the
death of Mrs. L. A. Rhett, the mother of
Samuel A. Rhett, a member of the second
normal class, were adopted.
Death of Alfred Strom.
Alfred Strom, for a number of years
a clerk In the office of the clerk of the
Superior Court, and who was known to
many people, died yesterday at the Home
for the Aged. He bad been in ill health
for a long time.
PEACHES SHOW PROMISE.
NO IXJIRY HAS YET COME TO THE

IW-Cropi, Generally, Are Not in
ihe Best Coiiditlom—Scarcity of Ga
bor lx Felt ly the Farmer*.
President John M. Egan returned yes
terday from a trip through the peach
growing district of the- Central Railroad.
The crop, Air. Egan reports, is in excellent
condition, no injuries having been sustain
ed thus far. The conditions for the fruit
have been very favorable, and the grow
ers trust they will continue so.
A day was spent by Mr. Egan at Air.
S. H. Rumph’s place, near Marshallville.
Air. Rumph is the pioneer in the peach in
dustry in Georgia, and his orchards are
among the finest in the state. He is giv
ing particular attention just now to the
Emma, anew peach that he originated.
To him is given credit for the delicious
Elberta, also, but he believes the Emma
will prove a greater favorite than the El
berta. Its color and beauty will be as
highly esteemed, while its flavor is bet
ter.
Not until June 10. Air. Egan says, wiil
there be any considerable shipment of
peaches. A few may be moved before that
time, but the real work of marketing the
crop will not start. The early Sneeds will
be the first peaches moved.
Ptach growers are hopeful. They are
confident of making a good crop, and what
they now want is a good market. If good
prices can be realized they will be in ex
cellent shape financially. The total fail
ure last year will be counteracted if the
peaches are sold to advantage.
General crop conditions, Mr. Egan found,
w'ere not so good. Cotton and corn have
been impeded by rains, while the grass
and weeds have got a start. Farmers, too.
have to struggle against a scarcity of la
bor, from many districts the complaint
coming that not enongh farm hands chn
be secured. Ixist season’s prices for cot
ton, however, left the farmers In pretty
even frame of mind, and they look upon
the world with less ill favor than before
the staple went up. They are buying more
provisions and supplies and the general
tone of business is improved.
/ SEABOARD I)IFFKRE\TfAG
AVill Re Fought at an Early Meeting
of the Conference Committee.
A meeting of the Conference Committee
of the Southeastern Passenger Association
will be held In Atlanta on May 22. when
matters of importance will be considered,
chief among them being the differential
enjoyed by the Seaboard Air Line on pas
senger business to the East. It will be re
called that this differential w ls agreed to
two or three years ago when the S abjar,l
inaugurated, a rate war. cutting the fa e ta
the East. In order to reduce things to
their former equilibrium, the other lines
interested acceded to a plan to allow the
Seaboard a differential of $3 on. every
ticket. That road, therefore, besan sel -
itjg tickets at $3 less than the Southern and
other lines, one of the claims for the differ
ential having been made by the Seaboard
on account of its short line.
The differential has extended to Savan
nah, the Seaboard having acquired the
Florida Central and Peninsular and selling
tickets through via Columbia to the E?st.
Officials of other lines are going to fight
this differential in the Conference Commit
tee meeting, because they think the spirit
of the understanding was for the differ
ential to hold only for such time as the
Seaboard might operate no through car
service. There is a through car service
now’, and soon there will he a through
train service by the new route. President
John Skelton Williams' plans being near
their fruition.
It is probable that the Seaboard will not
stand idly by and allow itsdifferential to
be removed or reduced. Quite a warm
light over the matter is looked for. It is
also thought that the Seaboard, if the
differential should be removed, will adopt
its old tactics of getting business even if
rates have to be cut.

The plans for the third story that is to

QUIT WHITE BREAD."”’
Could not Get Strength from It.
An Ep'scopalian minister of Eliinville,
N. Y., who is Interested not only in the
spiritual welfare of his congregation, but
in their physical well-being also, says,
"I can now do an immense amount of

It is a well-known fact that white bread
Is almost entirely composed of s'a r ch and

people, particularly those who have weak
Intestinal digestion. The result of the
use of much white bread is a lack of brain

because the excess of starch ferments

TOURIST TRAVEL BEGINNING.
Many Mould Like Southern to Run
an Asheville Sleeper.
Rates from Savannah and some other
cities to some of the North and South Car
olina resorts-were inaugurated yesterday.
These rates are on a basis of about 4
cents a mile for the round trip, the tick
ets being good until Sept. 30. The regular
tourist rates fqr summer resorts will be
put on June 1. Those to sea ide resorts in
the South are already effective.
With the opening of the summer travel
to the mountains of No th Carolina this
season, many- of the regular visitors from
Savannah would like to see the Southern
Railway Company run a local sleeper
from this city to Asheville. Under the
plan last year the sleeper ran f:om Jack
sonville to Ashevii.e on train 33, leaving
tavannah about 1 a. m., and as this train
was frequently late, it made the hour of
departure vety disagreeable, especially for
ladies and children.
A local sleeper could be dispatched in the
same train, but could be opened for pas
sengers earlier in the evening, so that
the trip would be made without any dis
comfort. Returning from Asheville the
Savannah passengers could rest until a
reasonable hour in the morning and not
be forced to get out at 5:20, as Is neces
sary under the present arrangement. The
local sleeper would be appreciated by the
public and the business greatly increased
by reason of the advantages offerei.
Maj. Bradford Dunham has no Intention
of leaving Savannah, as reported, and de
clares there Is absolutely nothing in (he
rumor connecting him with an official
position on the Seaboard Air Line.

Colored Troops Mill Appear In n
Seini-Anniinl Turnout.
The battalion of colored troops and ihe
Georgia Artillery were to have paraded to
do,/, eueiom of late years having fixed up
on May 19 as Ihe date for the eeml-annual
parades of the organizations. Aa the dale
falls on a Saturday, however, li was de
termined to postpone the parade until
Monday. Many of the members of the
commands would have been unable to git
off had the event been to-day.
Mrs. Minnie Fiedler, of Mt. Pleasant,
lova, says:
“ I was aSicted for years with St.
Vituff* dance. The first symptoms of the
disease began in ISB9, when the nerves
began twitching in my left hand. I con
sulted physicians of this city, but none
of them ever did me a particle of good.
After I hxd suffered for two mid one half
years, the disease continuing to grow
worse, I heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People.
“ It wa3 in 1891 that I whs induced to
try them, and I was surprised at my
rapid improvement. \I took only two
boxes, and was entirely cured. It was
hard to realize that I, who for over two
years was scarcely able to walk, and who
often found it almost impossible to talk,
should be restored to perfect health and
in full possession of all of my powers by
two boxes of this wonderful, remedy.
“ I am happy to state that my health
is still perfect and I have never had the
slightest symptoms of a return of the
disease, although it is eight years since
I was cured. ”
Dr. Williams’ FJnk Pills for Pale People
contain, in a concpensed form, all the ele
ments necessary to give new life and richness
