estate men say that this has hurt their
business considerably. The people
will not buy dirt when they can get 5
per cent, for just letting the coin lie
In the bank. It Is hard to make real
estate pay more than that. Mayor
Herman Myers, the president of the
National Bank of Savannah, and the
Oglethorpe Savings & Trust Company
is out In an Interview In the papers,
saying that the banks are doing wrong
to pay so much interest.' It Is expected
that there will follow a meeting Boon
of the banking officers and that the
■Interest will go baot to the old figure
of 3 per cent. The mayor's'bank Is

To Receive New Battery of
Nitroglycerine Guns —
About that Gun Found
Spiked at Albany.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, May 8. — The Chatham
Artillery has been advised unofficially
that within the . next month or six
weeks It will be equipped with a new
battery of four nitro-glycerine guns of
the latest improved pattern. They are
to be supplied by the United States
government as a part of Georgia’s
military supplies for the present year.
This will be one of the results of the
military operating under the Dick bill.
When the Chathams were in Albany
during the Chautauqua, Assistant Ad
jutant-General Scott Informed Ctptaln
Dixon of the decision of the adjutant-
general's office to send the four new
guns to Savannah. The modern guns
now In use by the Chathams will go
to the new artillery command In At
lanta.
The gun of the Chathams that was
spiked either at Albany or while the
command was going there will be fixed
this afternoon. An expert from Fort
Screven will give It his attention. It
Is not believed by the officers that the
gun was spiked maliciously. They
seem to think that some small boy did
It through mischief and that he did
not understand what he was doing or
the damage that he would do by spik
ing the piece.

FRANCE ACTS QUICKLY.
New York, May 8.—Cabling under
yesterday’s date, the Herald’s corre
spondent at Point Apitre, Guadaloupe,
describes the rioting that followed the
elections of Sunday in that place. He
says that candidates were attacked in
their homes, surrounded by their fam
ilies. They defended themselves des
perately.
The Mayor of the city armed the
policemen and firemen, and they acted
wildly. Marines were landed from a
French cruiser, but in their presence
houses were sacked and their contents
destroyed. The authorities made no
effort to restore order.
' The correspondent, in defining the
situation, says that two parties oppose
each other—the Liberals and the So
cialists. The latter declare that all
not of their cult must be destroyed,
with their property. Entire families
have lost hope and are leaving, sending
their valuables to consulates. These
are protected by troops, all consuls
having demanded protection. The
stores are all closed and all commerce
has ceased.
There are rumors of greater trou
bles, and if France does not act.quick
ly the Island is doomed. The British
cable office is protected by marines.
The lives of all foreigners are threat
ened.

THREE DRUNK NEGROE8
AND A BALKY. HOR8E.
- Three drunken negroes In a buggy
drawn by a balky horse were promi
nently in the public eye for several
hours yesterday afternoon. They were
-from the country, taking advantage of
the wet spell to come to town; and
after having paid a visit to a saloon,
or, to put It more correctly,, several
■visits to several salobns, they drove
around the Btreet, presumably to be
admired. They were observed, it Is
true, and the notoriety was so pleas-
-lng, and the liquid refreshments of
.which they had partaken so potent,
that they became a little more observ.
able.
After a general Inspection of the
town they arrived at “The Well” on
( Broad street. The sight of water was
-too much for them, though, and the
three, who until now had been In per
fect unanimity, had a little discussion
as to who should drive. The horse,
deciding that he could not serve three
masters, especially In the condition
they were In, and tlrlng-of flying mad-1
