SAYS HE NEVER SIGNED IT. Continued from Tenth Pago. the witness impressively. "There is a suit pending against her in Florida, on behalf of my brother, E. B. Drought and myself, and the amount of that euit and the amount of the suit in this court make up but a small proportion of what she owes u? to-day.” Mr. Leaken cross-examined the witness at length. He managed to show that some payments which the witness said were made by him for Mrs. Woodbridge were not apparently Included in the notes, as Drought had also stated, but in a re ceipt to the defendant, which was exhib ited in court. The witness stuck to the statement, however, that she had never paid him in cash, and that her payments were always by note. The plaintiff introduced a number of letters from the defendant to Drought, which showed that they were at one time something more than the best of friends. The letters also contained allusions to a number of business transactions. "Sweet heart” and other terms of endearment were not uncommon expressions, and the defendant listened to them with the same grimly reminiscent smile that had ap peared on her face when she read and identified the letters. When the plaintiff again rested, the de fendant introduced E. H. Barnes of High Springs, Fla., who testified that he was present in an adjoining room when the conversation, between Mrs. Woodbridge and Drought occurred, when the receipt which had played so prominent a part at the morning session was given. He had heard some part of the conversation, and lad then come out into the presence of the plaintiff and defendant. Mrs. Wood bridge had read the paper to him and he htd then read it himself. Drought's sig nature was already attached, but it had bepn acknowledged by the plaintiff in his presence. Cross-examined by Judge Twiggs the witness lost something of his posi'lve ness. In the, first place he stated that the conversation occurred in 1899, Instead of 1898, which is the date of the receipt, lie was positive that the paper he was called upon to identify was that he had seen on the occasion of the interview be tween the plaintiff and defendant, but he persisted that the interview he remem bered was in 1899, The witness was cer tain that th’re had been no erasures or alternations, though he found it difficult to answer the questions of Judge Twtegs as rapidly os they were asked. At 8 o’clock the case went over until to-day, when it is possible that it will he concluded. With the defendant contend ing that the plaintiff is suing upon notes which he has confessed in writing have been paid or destroyed, and the plaintiff answeting that the alleged confession of payment or destruction was never signed by him, the case has in it interest and excitement enough. LIVELY DAT WITH POLICE. Number of Petty Thieves and Other Offenders Taken In. The rush of business in the police de partment, which has been abnormally large for several days, was continued yes terday. Some fifteen prisoners were brought in up to midnight, and still the calls for the hurry-up wagon were com ing in at a lively rate. Mack Freeman, or, as he is also known, Dan Freeman, colored, was captured by Detective Stark for having in his posses sion a suit of clothes, of which he could give no satisfactory account. The clothes are held at the barracks awaiting an owner. Freeman is supposed to be the man who several days ago robbed a num ber of the tailor shops and pressing clubs.

Exn nsioMSTS reti re. Bi*f Crnsh at Central Depot Ltl Slight. The excursionists that came to Savan nah from Atlanta and intermediate points on Saturday returned last night. Two trains were needed to accommodate them, and both were crowded. By far the greater number of the passengers were ne -8 * en, and they began to gather at the and pot long before the time for the trains to leave. So great was the crowd that In order to keep ihe platform comparatively clear w Mle the trains were being made up the *ates leading Into the shed had to be closed and guarded. Denied access there, he negroes gathered in the waiting rooms, “no thronged the passages and porch, ex •enduig across the sidewalk and out Into t e street, while still other crowds of them were on the side walk© across West Broad Mr, ®t. At one time the crowd and the many vehicles in which a part of It had corne . blocked the streets that they impassable, and it became necessary fbr (he police to order away several hacks ard other vehicles before ever the street curs could get by, was almost as bad Inside the WA.lt ir*g room for the white f>eople. and the , passage leading down to the car shed. The ; white passengers, ioo, had ga4hered early j and were likewise denied admission to the ( '"h* and until the regular 9 o’clock train had Nobody In the crowd seemed to un derstand this, however, and tho efforts al < he where the policeman Mood guard was terrific. Each excursionist seemed to have a sou venir of the trip, and these were gener ally in the form of huge palmetto leaves and stems, or equally large and unwieldy sheaves of wild sea oats. One man, with a more original taste in the way of souvenirs. or possibly from a material rather than aesthetic viewpoint, had secured a basket of crabs, fresh from the water and still very much alive. This was found out when one of the creatures in the hurry and crush managed to escape from its prison end started on an investigating tour for an avenue of escape. His way led him around and about the feet and ankles of many of the ladles and each time he was disturbed or a threatening move made to ward him he backed away with elevated and snapping claws, tangling himself up in the trailing skirts and creating a gen eral stampede from his immediate neigh borhood. A heavy boot finally put him hors du comoat and his remains were appropriated by a small darky who slid him into his capacious trouser pocket. THE COURT OF ORDINARY.

Columbia Drug Cos., Savannah, Ga.: Gentlemen—it gives me pleasure to heartily recommend Infants' Friend Powder, and to give to you a singu lar little coincident connected with It. During the Cotton States and In ternational Exposition ] was presen ted with a little box of this powder, and was so pteaeed with it that I was exceedingly anxious to get more, but on looking at the box I found nothing but Savannah, Ga., no other address. 1 have often wished I knew wheie to get it. This morning's mail brought your circular with en closed sample I Immediately re ferred to my box, and found it was the Infants' Friend Powder. It Is without doubt the best powder I have ever used. Respectfully, MRS. WM. KING. 7
