ALIMONY $1 A DAY
MARITAL. DIFFERENCES OF THE
ASPINWALLS AIRED IN COI'RT.
TALE OF HUSBAND’S CRUELTY.
BALANCED BY CHARGES THAT IM
FIGN THE WIFE'S HONOR.
Hearing Before Judge Barrow on
the Question of Temporary Ali
mony and His Order Directs That
the Hnsbund Pay a Dollar a Day.
Charges on Each Side Denied by
the Other Party—Crimtnal Cases to
Be Tried This Week—Richard
Young to Face a Jury Tuesday lor
the Murder of Dower Fountain.
Another Murder Case Wednesday.
Mrs. Vada Aspinwall was granted
an order in the Superior Court yester
day, by the terms of tvhich her hus
band. Lemuel Aspinwall, must pay her
temporary alimony at the rate of $1 a
day. The order was granted by Judge
Barrow after a hearing that developed
charges and counter-changes of a sen
sational and at time unpleasant de
scription.
Mrs. Aspinwall and her witnesses
painted in striking colors the' cruel
treatment she had received at her hus
band’s hands, while he, in turn, at
tacked the fidelity of his wife. A num
ber of affidavits were produced in sup
port of these varying contentions.
During the course of the hearing, at
the suggestion of Judge Barrow, an
effort was made to compromise. The
judge suggested that the only question
at issue was the amount of the ali
mony he should allow, and that it
would perhaps be as well for counsel
to get together and see if they could
not agree. The lawyers tried, but
failed.
Mrs. Aspinwall testified that her hus
band's cruel treatment had made her
life a burden. He beat her, according
to her story, whenever the fancy
seized him, and on several occasions
had threatened her life, once with a
pistol at her head. His abuse was
practically incessant and his charges,
according to the wife, false and slan
derous. Mrs. Aspinwall said that she
had been attacked with a board on one
occasion, and with a knife on another,
and that while the latter was not used
her husband explained his failure by
saying he was afraid of the law. Rela
tives of the plaintiff and various other
witnesses supported these contentions
in greater or less degree.
Sir. Aspinwall denied the charges of
cruelty, saying that the whole trouble,
so far as the rows were concerned, lay
in the wild and unmanageable temper
of his wife, who had a tongue like
Xantippe and the physical prowess of
an Amazon warrior.
Affidavits were Introduced to show
the alleged immoral chracter of the
wife, the effort being made to estab
lish her undue intimacy with several
men. All of these charges she denied.
At the conclusion of the evidence
Judge Barrow granted his order, di
recting the payment to the plaintiff of
a dollar a day alimony and SSO as coun
sel fees. W. P. Laßoche and W. M.
Coburn represented Mrs. Aspinwall,
and Osborne & Lawrence the husband.
MURDER TRIALS THIS WEEK.
Tuesday Richard Young to Face
Jury for Fountain Murder.
This week In the Superior Court
will be devoted to the trial of crim
inal cases, among them two of first
Importance. Tuesday Richard Young
will be tried for the murder of Dower
Fountain and Wednesday Frank Jones,
alias Frank Pitts, will face a jury for
the murder of Willie Newsome.
The trial of Young will probably at
tract great attention. Young and
James Stewart broke into the Fountain
house on the Ogeechee road, beat Mrs.
Fountain into insensibility and when
her son came to the rescue of his moth
er clubbed him to death.
Stewart was arrested early during
the morning following the commission
of the crime, but Young managed to
make his escape and when finally ap
prehended had succeeded In making
his way to Miami, Fla. There he was
placed in jail and ultimately brought
back to Savannah.
In the meantime, however, Stewart
had been placed on trial and though
the jury found him guilty, it accom
panied its cerdlet with a Recommenda
tion to the mercy of the court that
saved the negro's neck.
Probably for this reason there will
be an added interest In the trial of
Stewart's alleged accomplice. Young
was positively identified by Fountain
before his death as one of the men who
committed the murderous assault and
he has also been Identified by Mrs.
Fountain. He, howeevr, stoutly pro
tests his innocence and continues to
declare that he had left Savannah and
was on his way to Florida days before
the commission of the crime.
At the trial Tuesday the solicitor
general will prosecute for the state,
while A. P. Adams and T. N. Den
mark will represent the accused.
The second murder trial Wednesday
will be that of Frank Jones, alias
Pitts, for the murder of Willie New
some. Jones is a negro and his vic
tim was of the same race. The evi
dence as to the manner in which the
homicide was committed is very con
flicting and it is this fact, doubtless,
that induced the Supreme Court to
grant a second trial to the defendant.
Other criminal cases, a score or more
In all, will be tried on other days of
the week, beginning with to-morrow. A
day has been given to each of the mur
der cases, b'ut for every other day ex
cept Saturday, which is to be left for
the disposition of motions, half a dozen
cases will receive the attention of
Judge Barrow and the Superior Court
Juries.
There will be another interesting case
Monday of next week, when Mrs. Roxie
Bevill, charged with an attempt to com
mit arson, will face a Jury. The in
cidents of the offense of which she is
accused are locally familiar.
WAS BURNED TO DEATH.
Sad Affliction Visit* Family of Mr.
Walter Coney,
Information reached Savannah yes
terday that Mr. Joseph MoLaurin,
father of Mrs. Walter Coney of this
city, had been burned to death at
Point Caswell, N. C„ twenty-five miles
from Wilmington. The friends of Mr.
end Mrs Coney will sympathize with
them in their bereavement.
The fatality was caused by the burn
ing of the home of Mr. MoLaurin, who
Lved alone. Jt Is no; known how the
fire 'trig!riated, but, when the neighbors
reached the wene, the roof fell in.
When the flames had died away, th
< hatred remains of Mr. MoLaurin were
removed. They were taken to Wli.
nongton. where the interment will take
pise* to-day.

STOVALL FOR SPEAKER.
His Friends Want Him to Enter
Race (or Speakership.
The friends of Mr. Pleasant A. Sto
vall are mentioning him in connection
with the speakership of the Genera!
Assembly. Mr. Stovall was elected
as a member of the Chatham delega
tion In the recent election
The defeat of Roland Ellis for the
legislature from Bibb county brought
out the suggestion that Mr. Stovall
might secure the speakership. Those who
keep themselves posted on state poli
tics say that Mr. Ellis would have been
made speaker had he been re-elected,
and that his defeat gives Mr. Stovall
! a good opportunity for carrying off
j the prize.
Mr. R. M. Hitch, a member of the
[ last Chatham county delegation to the
Legislature, Is confident that Mr. Sto
vall could win out for the speakership.
Mr. Hitch knows the various members
of the Legislature, and is well ac
quainted with the present candidates
for the place that Mr. Ellis would
probably have been elected to.
“I think Mr. Stovall is the man for
the place,” said Mr. Hitch yesterday,
In talking to a party of Mr. Stovall’s
friends. "Now that Mr. Ellis has met
with defeat at home there would be
but little difficulty in Mr. Stovall get
ting the speakership. I feel absolute
ly certain that he can be elected.”
Those who talked with Mr. Hitch
favored putting Mr. Stovall in the race
for speakership and some of his friends
will call upon him to-morrow and urge
him; to enter his name as a candidate
for the speakership.
SHIGG TURNED LOOSE.
Alleged Slayer of u Man In Church
Released From Jail.
Henry Shlgg, Jr., convicted of the
murder of Henderson Fraser in a
church at Sandfly Station July 11, Was
given his liberty yesterday. The case
was nolle pressed in the Superior Court
because of the ruling of the Supreme
Court.
Shigg protested his innocence of the
crime from the moment of his arrest,
but strong circumstantial evidence was
brought out against him. Chief Deputy
T. J. Sweeney worked up a strong case
against the negro who was held by the
Coroner's jury and later was indicted
by the grand Jury. At the trial he
was convicted of murder, but was rec
ommended to imprisonment for life.
An appeal was made by his counsel,
Mr. Ratford Falligant, and the Supreme
Court decided that the evidence did
not warrant the verdict, although the
presiding judge had passed the opinion
that no case of clrcumstantiol evidence
could have been stronger. The ruling
of the higher court made it necessary
that the case should be nolle prossed.
Fraser was shot with buckshot while,
praying in a church at Sandfly, his
murderer having concealed himself on
the outside and fired through an open
window.
BONDS OM>Te CENTRAL
Director* Did Not Yndcrstnnd How
Rothschilds Figured.
Central Railway directors In Savan
nah, who read the account In the Morn
ing News yesterday of suit having been
brought by holders of Central bonds
against the Frankfort Rothschilds,
were at a loss to account for the suit.
Mr. George J. Mills was one of those
who could not understand why the
Frankfort Rothschilds were being
forced by the courts to take back the
bonds at the price at w'hich they were
Issued.
"The bonds are higher than they
have been for years—all of them,” said
Mr. Mills. "I cannot conceive of what
issue the Rothschilds could have been
floating. All the issues, the first, the
second and the third incomes, have
long since been taken up. The issue
of collateral trusts of 1887 has occurred
to me, but I should like to undertake to
dispose of those for the Rothschilds at
109, if they have any of that issue.
There were but SSQO,OOO of those bonds,
however, and yet the dispatch men
tions that the Rothschilds issued $1,000,-
000 of the Central's bonds.
NEW APARTMENTHOUSE.
Plans tor u Big Structure on Bull
Street.
Plans are being made for a large and
modern apartment house to be built
on a trust lot fronting Bull street by
a syndicate of Savannahians. The
plans contemplate between fifteen
and twenty flats and between
twenty and twenty-five bachelor apart
ments. The apartments will be mod
ern and the building itself will be dif
ferent from any in- Savannah, being
after the model of the large apartment
buildings in the North and West. The
men who are back of the enterprise
recognize the demand for such a build
ing In Savannah and they believe it
will be a paying investment.
LIGHT VOTE IN BRYAN.
Moore Defeated Harvey by 41 Vote*
for Senator.
Mr. J. G. Moore defeated Mr. L.
Gordon Harvey by 41 votes in the con
test in Bryan county for senator from
the First district. Mr. Harvey was in
the city yesterday, but had little to
say about his defeat.
Avery large vote was not polled in
Bryan, Mr. Harvey said, and he thinks
that this fact was in a measure re
sponsible for his defeat. Mr. Moore,
the successful candidate, is a resident
of Groveland. and is a well known
merchant. The delegates named from
Chatham and Effingham counties will
Under \|e rotation system now in

the United States Army, the United
States Navy and the national guard of
the various states. The distances will

ON THEIR WAY TO CHICAGO.
Packing House Mnnnger* Gone to
Rcbnt Butchers' Affidavits.
The managers of the Savannah
branches of all the packing houses do
ing business in this section are out of
the city, and it is believed are on their
way to Chicago, to confer with their
principals as to the fight being waged
against the beef trust.
The departure of the managers is
said to have been caused by the action
of the government, in securing from a
number of local butchers affidavits as
to the manner in which the beef bus
iness is conducted here. These were
designed to show that all the agencies
operated together, that the price of
meats was always the same at every
agency and that there was invariably
a perfect concert of policy among them
all.
These affidavits were secured by As
sistant District Attorney W. R. Leaken
and will be used in Chicago, it is ex
pected, in the course of the proceed
ings now in progress there. The im
pression is that the purpose of the lo
cal managers' trip to the Windy City is
to meet and rebut, if they can, the
case of illegal combination these affid
avits tend to make out.
M’CORKLE FOR ANTHONY.
One Minister Voted for Another for
Superior Court Judge.
Judge Pope Barrow it seems did not
receive all of the votes polled in Thurs
day’s primary. Rev. Bascon Anthony
has one admirer in Savannah who
would like to see him elevated to the
dignity and responsibility of Judge of
the Superior Court. This was shown
when a vote was polled with Judge
Barrow scratched and Rev. Bascom
Anthony substituted in his stead.
The vote was cast by Rev. W. P.
MoCorkle. There was no opponent in
the race for the judgeship. Judge Bar
row having the field to himself. Rev.
Mr. MoCorkle was consistent, however,
for he had preached against the courts
some ten days before, and determined
to vote for Rev. Mr. Anthony.
FIRST CAR LOT OF PEACHES.
President Kuun Expect. It to Move
During Till. Week.
The first carload of peaches will
probably move this week. President
John M. Egan of the Central Railway
said yesterday that this week will
probably see the first movement of the
fruit In a car lot. It was thought
possible that last week might have
seen the drat car lot shipped, hut the
growers who had hoped for so early
it shipment were mistaken In the be
lief that they would have It. By June
25. Mr. Egan said, the' movement of
the fruit will be strong
Mr Egan is very well pleased with
the outlook for the movement of
(H-arhes. He said that fhe indication
now is that quite as many carloads as
last year will he moved, when there
was a very good season and very re
munerative prices for the growers.

The Plant Owned by the Southern
States Phosphate and Fertiliser
Cos., and Located Near Bruton Hill
Between Tjbce Hoad and Savan
nah River—Was Built and Equip
ped by the N. P. Pratt Lnborntory
ot Atlanta—lts Chief Officers Au
gusta Capitalists—Mr. F. B. Screven
of Savannah Superintendent—Own
ers to Inspect It To-day.
The plant of the Southern States
Phosphate and Fertilizer Cos. located
near Bruton Hill between the Tybee
Road and the Savannah River was
completed yesterday and turned over
to the superintendent of the company,
Mr. Frank B. Screven.
This factory, which was designed and
erected complete in every department
by the N. P. Pratt Laboratory of At
lanta, cost $175,000, has a capacity of
40,000 tons of finished fertilizer per
annum, and in size, capacity, complete
ness and quality of its various depart
ments, is one of the finest plants of
its kind in the country.
Work on it was begun about seven
months ago. The building or constru
tive parts were finished some time ago
and have already been inspected by
the officers of the company and ac
cepted by them. The other depart
ments of the works also were finished
for some time but, as is the case with
all such plants erected by the N. P.
Pratt Laboratory a test run of thirty
days was made to show the com
pleteness of the equipment and, fur
ther, to demonstrate that the output
will come up to specifications.
This test run, which proved thor
oughly satisfactory, was concluded
yesterday. The plant was then turned
over to Mr. Screven. To-morrow the
officers of the company will reach Sa
vannah and will make a final inspec
tion of the plant. These officers are:
President—F. B. Pope of Augusta.
Vice President—Porter Fleming of
Augusta.
Secretary and Treasurer—J. M. Berry
of Augusta.
The superintendent is Mr. F. B
Screven of this city.
The plant has a number of auxiliary
departments not directly connected
with the manufacture of fertilizer, but
of the greatest advantage in handling
both the raw material and the finished
product of the factory. One of the
chief of these departments is the elec
tric plant, which not only furnishes
lighting power to the factory, but also
power to operate an elevated railroad
connecting the factory with the Plant
System wharves. Raw material from
the wharf will be transported over this
road and the finished product ready
for shipment, will form the return
cargo.
How great an acquisition to Savan
nah’s manufactories this plant is is
shown not only in the amount of
money invested in it, but by the fur
ther fact that it will be operated day
and night the whole year round and
employ, approximately, 200 hands dur
ing the busy season, beginning about
October and lasting until spring, and
sixty people during the slack season,
the late spring and early summer.
The difference In the output in sum
mer and winter is brought about by
the condition of the market. Only
during the planting season will there
be a demand for fertilizer, and so the
completed product will be made then,
but some of the constituents of the
fertilizer, sulphuric acid and acid phos
phate, will be made all during the
year.
The general character of the plant
differs much from the ordinary ferti
lizer factory. The average plant of
this kind is merely a collection of rough
buildings conceded to be satifactory if
they but serve as a protection for the
machinery and equipment, but the new
plant has been built in accordance with
the more progressive views and is a
model of neatness, of completeness in
detail, and of all that tends to econo
my of operation, and the saving of
labor.
The plant Is brilliantly lighted at
night and has attracted much atten
tion both from the river and from the
Tybee road. Rather a peculiar fact
about it is that it is built on a part
of the original Screven estate, a por
tion that formerly was used as a rice
plantation. Mr. Screven, the superin
ttndent, has been engaged more or less
directly in the manufacture of ferti
lizer for fifteen or twenty years, and
his long experience coupled with his
recognized ability, is a guarantee that
the plant will be economically and
therefore profitably operated.
Two of the features of the plant that
have attracted much attention and fa
vorable comment is the system for pro
tection against fire, which consist of
two 500-gallon a minute pumps; and
the fact that every machine or appli
ance is in duplicate which Insures the
continued operation of the plant de
spite accidents.

His Reminder.
And Hus It Assumes That Comfort
able Feeling.
“Let me show you my Insurance
plant,” said a merchant to a visiting
friend. “This little card is a copy of
a provision in my life Insurance policy
which tells me how much cash I can
get at the end of every year. Only
the agent kept me paying during the
early years. After I had it three years,
however, he came to me and said “I
don’t suppose I will have to coax you
to keep up your policy any longer, for
it is now a valuable and growing as
set.” I asked him to explain, and he
showed me that it had a guaranteed
cash value and that I could borrow
quite a neat sum if I so desired. I had
never thought about that feature, but
had looked upon my premium payments
as a dead loss. I was so much inter
ested in the rapid increase that I had
a copy of the values made and stuck
up here on my desk where I can see
it. As each year goes by I put a cross
opposite the amount in the cash col
umn and I write down the amount of
my dividend accumulations, so that I
can see at a glance how much it is
worth to me. You see that the Cash
value now is over $1,650 to say nothing
of the dividends and Interest. These
I may draw out at any time and still
leave my policy intact. I have none
of the old feeling that paying for life
insurance is throwing away money. I
have constantly before me the fact
that I am not only protecting my fam
ily, but am saving money by paying
for insurance. That little card is an
incentive and I can see my policy
climbing and growing in value. I nev
er look at it without getting that com
fortable feeling.”

Massachusetts Mutual, and if you take
a policy with us you, too. will have
that comfortable feeling. Harty & Ap
