ON TUB WAV TO FREEDOM.
First Yer'iliol* in Divorce Cases
liraiitell in Superior Court.
Two first verdicts of total divorce were
obtained by plaintiffs in the Superior
Court on yesterday. The cases thus half
way decided are those of Camilla Burch
against John H. Burch and Kilen Vir
ginia King against George H. King. In
each case the plaintjff was a young and
pretty woman.
lire. Burch averred that she had been
married to her husband but a short time
when his cruelty to her began. The mar
riage took place in 1895 and Burch’s de
sertion of his wife in 1899. During the
years that intervened between these two
events the defendant treated her constant,
ly in a cruel, brutal and inhuman man
ner, frequently returning home in an ad
vanced stage of intoxication, breaking
down the door before she could open it
and consorting with women of more than
questionable character and reputation.
On this showing the Jury granted a first
verdict and Judge Falligant. an order, di
recting the defendant to pay to hts wife
SlO a monih, as temporary alimony until
the further order of the court or until
the case is finally decided.
Mrs. Ellen Virginia King obtained a first
verdict of divorce frcm her husband. Jos
*'■ h H. King, in the plaintiff s petition and
In her evidence it was stated that the de
fendant married her on Nov. 27, 1897, un
der the name of Joseph H. Keen and de
serted her in the succeeding January.
She then returned to the home of her
mother, but in March of the same year
'he defendant forcibly abducted her and
it*pi her under lock and key for a month,
dining which time he is said to have
heaped upon her ‘ humiliation, indignity
end cruelty almost inconceivable.” He
would strike her with a buggy whip and
with his clenched fist and in every way
sought to make and succeeded in making
her life miserable and abjectly unhappy.
The plaintiff did not know w hat indu ed
King to marry her under an assumed
t&nie, but she stated that she had reason
to believe and does believe that at Ihe
time if his marriage to her ho had anoth
er wife living in another part of tho coun
try. When she last heard of her hus
band, he was tn Montreal, Canada, and
Service of process upon him had been
Perfected by publication.
The plaintiff desires to have her maiden
name, Ellen Virginia Ellarbee, restored to
n p r by the same decree of the court that
finally pronounces the dissolution of the
marriage. The Jury granted her a first
verdict; a second verdict and decree will
probably be secured at the next term Of
the court.
SI ED HUSBAND FOR ALIMOJIT.
Injured Wife Bring* Hitter Charges
tgnlnst Samuel House.
Mrs. Georgia Irene House filed suit for
temporary and permanent alimony against
htr husband, Samuel House, in the Su
perior Court yesterday. Judge Falligant
r.as granted a rule to show cause, dircct
to the defendant, requiring him to ap-
P tir on June 9, and contest the claim of
" is wlfe to temporary alimony, attorney's
nnd the costs of court.
Ibo claim to alimony is based on the
titutory grounds of udultery and deser
rhe plaintiff alleges In her petition
, , j c °urt that she was married to the
ini.*"* ln August, 1899. The couple lived
'tier, mere or less happily or unhap
; 5 ’ until March of this year. when. It

.„ , “dultery with one Consuelo Davrn
j. , ' a well-known woman of the town.
rff a,Ip ged that he committed the same
■ nse with the same woman, on divers
o her occasions.
during the month of March, the petl- ,
tion further recites, the defendant desert
ed the plaintiff and since that time has
refused to live wilh her or contribute to
her support. It is averred that the defend
ant, who is employed by the 8. & S. Beef
Company, earhs a salary of 1100 per month
and Is amply able to look after and care
for his wife.
ItMs said that there are o'her charges
of ill-tlvatment said to have been c:m
mltted by the defendant upon hts wife,
which are not mentioned in the petition.
For these and other reasons the case,
when it Is called in court, Is likely to
prove interesting to that large portion of
the community, the members of which
take a morbid and controlling interest in
such matters.
REACH INSTITUTE EXERCISES.
Lower Classes of the School Finally
Dismissed for the Term.
The closing exercises of the primary,
intermediate and grammar grades of
Beach Institute were held yesterday
morning at 11 o'clock.
The pupils assembled in the chapel at

the programme may bring disappointment
to some, but these lists were prepared
after due consideration and consultation
with the different teachers, who have hod
the work in charge during the year. Some
are ready to be promoted as far as schol
arship goes, but are behind in the tuition
dues. As it is our rule not to promote
any who are in debt to the school, their
names will not be read.”
The last number on the programme was
an Instrumental piece with Interpreta
tions rendered by Medora Ladavezc, of
the fifth grade, and fiammic Harper of
the sixth grade. The audience sang the
"National Hymn.” and were dismissed.
A number of parents and friends of the

appreciation of the exercises.
The graduating exercises are to be at
the Beach to-morrow afternoon at 1
o'clock. The class is a large one, num
bering thirteen. A special programme of
music has been prepared by Prof. Morse.
Miss Chandler, who has had a sewing
class during the year, gave a reception to
the class In the afternoon. Several par
ents were in attendance, and Inspected
the work done. Catherine Gaines. Genie
Boozer and Oneida Haynes have done
work which calls for special eommenda
tlon. They made during the year dresses,
shirtwaists, etc. Several others in the
class have done creditable work- The
class numbered nearly forty, and its mem
bers have shown a keen interest In the
work.
TENT MINSTRELSY'S HIT.
Big Crowds Saw Dnekatoder and
Primrose's Tent Show.
Tent minstrelsy is becoming quite the
tiling. Primrose & Dockstader. or rather
Ftlmrose & Decker, put up the second
minstrel show under canvas that Savan
nah has had this season. Primrose is run
ning the show, while the only Dockstader
Is hoeing potatoes on his farm in Pennsyl
vania,
A good many people doubted whether
the two minstrel cracks were in the show,
but Primrose was in evidence, and sang
and danced as gaily as ever, though it was
a trifle warm.
There was a good crowd at the maiinee,
and 1,200 people saw the show at night.
Aside from being in a tent, with the
inevitable red Jacketed peanut and lemo
nade vendor along, the show is practically
what It was at the theater during the win
ter season, with Dockstader, of <ourae,
left out. Other attractions have been
added, though, and without any reflection
on the man who patterned wide trousers,
he is not missed. The show is a good one
from beginning to end. The audience
which saw It here were representative, and
they liked and applauded it.
The tent Is got up like a circus, except
that the boxes and orchestra chairs are
where the rings usually are, and is at
tractively decorated. The stage is at one
end.
The company goes from h.ere to Augusta,
and Augustans can count on a good thing
in minstrelsy when it gets there.
STOLE HER PARLOR ORGAN.
Lisa Jenkins’ Confidence in Her
Friend, Johnson, Misplaced.
Tom Johnson, colored, was arrested yes
terday by Officer Connally at the request
of Liza Jenkins, who charges him with
larceny after trust. Liza was the posses
sor of a parlor organ that she agreed to
sell to Johnson for 513. Probably the price
agreed upon was the hoodo, anyway that
is what Liza thinks, for yesterday morn
ing Johnson called with a wagon and look
the organ away, promising to came back
with the price as soon ns he could get
some money changed. This was at 10
o’clock. After the weary hours had roiled
around to 1 o'clock and Johnson had
failed to show up wih the money. Liza
started on a tour of Investigation and
found that Johnson had pawned her or
gan and was then ln a barroom drinking
away the proceeds of hi* perfidy. She
promptly had him arrested and he will be
given a hearing this morning by tho Re
corder.
Two more negroes were arrested yes
terday a* being implicated tn the (heft
of iron, a large quantity of which was
found day before yesterday by Detective
J. J. Murphy. These men, flohn Green,
nnd James Gadsden, together with John
son Williams and Reney Green, who were
arrested the day before, will be heard
this morning by Recorder Jlartridge.

Miss Nathan Warmly Welcomed at
First Night's Recital.
A most delightful entertainment of reci
tations and songs was given at the Law
ton Memorial last night under the auspices

STILL WANTS A WATER LINE.
PHILADELPHIA WILL HAVE ONE TO
SAVANNAH IF ROADS AGREE.
Syndicate With a Million In Ready

Railroads Here and at Other Ports
at \\ hicli It Is Desired to Have the
Vessels Touch—Projector* of the
Line Have Gone to Work on Dr
tails ns if They Had No Fcnr of the
Action of the Railroads—Expect
the Line to Open Tills Summer.
Philadelphia is still keen after a steam
ship line between that port and others to
the South. It Is said nothing stands in the
way of the line save the railroads. The
projectors of the line want the co-opera
tlon of the railroads in the South, and
they believe they will get it. As yet, how
ever, the assurances have not been such
as to enable the positive statement that
the line will bei established, though rep
resentatives of the trade organizations
of Philadelphia are busily engaged in
pushing the matter, and confidence is
felt that they will be successful In gain
ing the support of those railroads that
are wanted as allies.
Some two months ago President John
M. Egan of the Central was asked If he
had made any offer to the "Lades League
of Philadelphia relative to the establish
ment of a line between that city and this,
and his reply was in the negativo. He
had made no definite offer. Mr, Egan Is
now out of the city, but It Is thought he
has not yet arrived at any understanding
with the Philadelphians, ns n query upon
that point Just a few days ago devel
oped the fact that negotiations had not
reached a bead. Touching the scheme for
anew line, the Philadelphia Record says:
“A syndicate with a million dollars of
capital has been formed, comprising Phil
adelphia and Southern capitalists, for the
speedy establishment of a line between
Philadelphia and the leading Southern
ports, and the purpose is to begin opera
tions just as soon as contracts can be
made with the railroads touching the ports
reached by the projected line of steamers,
The capital of $1,000,000 Is more than am
ple to successfully launch the new enter
prise, those who are actively pushing It
assert.
“That sum, they say, will pay for threj
new fast steamers and leave 1251),<100 tor
working cnpital. The men in charge of
organization are negotiating for two
steamers now In course of construction
and which are of a most desirable char
acter for coastwise traffic. These parties
give the assurance that they can be ready
for operations for the fall business, and
they are making all preparations toward
this end. Matters have progressed to
such a State that' -those interested are
looking about for a traffic manager for
the line. They state that they desire
to place the management of the enterprise
in the hands of the best-equipped man
to be found for the position, and one who
has the necessary experience In the busi
ness of freighting between the South and
the North. ,'
Seveial well-known steamship managers
have been approached and asked to rnnke
propositions to undertake the active man
agement. While the details are being set
tled ngents of the investors are looking
over the grounds of the varo is ports to
be touched, and are selecting wharves and
warehouses, so as to be in shone for busi
ness when the other preliminaries are set
tled. Docks ore holng sectored tn ail the
Southern cities where the steamers will
land, desirab'e wharves in Charleston,
Wilmington. N. C.. Ravdnnnh, Jackson
ville nnd ether Atlantic coast towns are
being negotiated for, and In all of these
ports the boards of trade and the shippers
are giving the project all possible assist
ance.
The one important feature to be accom
plished before the new company will be in
corporated is the connections with nnd the
co-opeiation of the railroads ro'uehing the
ports to be reached by the steamers. As
soon as contracts with the railroad com
panies have been made the steamship
company will be organized, th? capita: de
posited and work begun, as to run two
trips each way per week. The projectors
assert that they have all their plans thor
oughly ’.aid, and nothing can deter the line
from doing business by Sept. 1. except the
refusal of the railroads of the territory be
tween Philadelphia and the Gulf of Mex
ico to co-operate.
“It was stated by the parlies ln ctiarge
that the prospective water line has been
promised equitable traffic arrangements by
the railroads In question, and the test is
now to be. made whether these promises
have been given in good faith. If they
have, the assurance is given that the line
will he established before the end of the
summer; and if by next fall the line is
not in operation it will be solely due to
the fact that the railroads.have failed to
live up to their promises.”

WATERS OVER THE TRACK.
Tile Heavy HaliiM Caused a Flood on
the F. C. and P,
Train service on the Florida Central
and Peninsular was rather interfered with
yesterday by the overflow of the track at
a point thirty miles above Savannah. The
waters have become swollen by the heavy
rains, and night before last the track was
submerged. Officials of the road expected
the flood to subside sufficiently during
last night, to remove all trouble for
trains. Tho Southern and Plant System
were used for the passage of one of the
Florida Central and Peninsular trains.
Tho Plant 'System passenger men, after

MBS. GOULD AND THE SAILOR.
She Objected to Janies llylnn Be
cause of His Fine Mustache.
From the New York World.
The presence of a mustache and later the
absence of the same facial ornament
Caused a peck of trouble on board Howard
Gould’s yacht Niagara Just before she sail
ed from this point.
It so happened that James P. Hylan.
who had been engaged as pantryman, had
a fine sweeping mustache, upon which he
prided himself as a sailor man, but when
the crew were drawn up before Mrs.
Gould her features assumed a pained ex
pression. She turned to her husband,
standing quietly by, and said;
"I don't like that man's mustache, and
no man with a mustache like that can sail
on the same boat with me.”
Mr. Gould called a council in which the
chief steward, Sailing Master Caws, Hylan
and Mrs. Gould took part. "If my mus
tache offends your ladyship,” said Hylan
gallantly. “I will sacrifice it. By me
great horn spoon, w'hich ■ 1 shall have to
polish, madam, I.’ll shave It off."
So Hylan hied him to a harber and had
the product of years of cultivation remov
ed. He returned to the Niagara a trans
formed man, but happy In the notion that
he had saved his Job, worth sls a month to
him.
But the pantryman was so much chang
ed that Mrs. Gould, hardly knew him, and
Instead of being changed for the better.
It was apparent that Mr. Hylan'* manly
beauty had been marred. Mrs. Gould ex
pressed sympathy for the shorn pantry
man, but declared plainly that he wouldn't
do.
Hylan had now lost both his mustache
and his Job, and he promptly demanded
his wages for one year, which would cover
the voyage. Mrs. Gould objected wllh spir
it. Pantryman Hylan then appealed to
Shipping Commissioner Dickey, who as
signed Deputy Shipping Commissioner Bul
lock to go to the Niagara apd effect a set
tlement it possible.
A compromise on one month's wages was
finally agreed upon, and Hylan, who had
been put to the expense of a shave, re
ceived 515 and a discharge rating him as
of excellent character.
Anew pantryman was shipped, and the
Niagara got under way for the Azores.
