WITH MIGHTY RIGHT
JIM JEFFORDS XEAHLV KILLED
GEORGE FEELEV.
CONCUSSION OF * BRAIN
CAUSED BY BLOW LAKDED ON’
IOWA FIGHTER’S JAW.
Frrlry Knorked Down Four Times
in Three Ronniis and the Last
Blow Caused Paralysis of the
Right Side—Three Powerful Blows
Lauded on Jaw in IS Seoonds.
Feeley Had Not Regained Con
sciousness Up to an Early Hour
This MornillK and Jeffords Is Dr
ill lii ed at Police Headquarters.
California Fighter Was liy For the
Cleverer.
With a powerful right swing on the
right side of the jaw Jim Jeffords of
California knocked George Feeley of
Sioux City, la., into a state of uncon
sciousness in the Savannah Athletic
Club ring last night.
The blow was delivered a few min
utes after 10 o’clock, and at an early
hour this morning Feeley was still suf
fering from concussion of the brain,
and his right side was paralyzed. When
three hours after the fight there was
no change in the condition of the Sioux
City man Pa’trqlmen Ungar and Harri
son were sent from police headquarters
to locate Jeffords. The big Californian
•wtas taken in charge and is detained at
the police station house, pending a
change in Feeley’s condition.
Within fifteen seconds, during the
third and last round of what was to
have been a twenty-round bout, Feeley
received three terrific blows on the jaw,
each of which sent him to the mat.
The blow that finally put the Sioux
City fighter to sieep for keeps was a
clean swing, and after it was delivered
Feeley did not have control of him
self for a moment. Referee McMurray
slowly counted the fighter out, but he
was all in, and ten minutes could have
been counted. The usual restoratives
were applied, but no improvement in
his condition W’as noticeable, and
strychnine and nitro-glycerine were in
jected.
Heart All Right.
Feeley's heart held up all right and
the attending physicians reported his
pulse strong. They worked on the man
in the club's quarters for more than
an hour, however, without being able
to bring him to his sensos. Feeley held
one hand on his head and was as help
less as a baby. His left eye was closed
while his right remained open.
When there was no change in his
condition an hour after the blow was
administered he was dressed and lift
ed by four men into a cab. At the For
est City Hotel the physicians again
■went to work on him, but without
bringing about any change. They stat
ed that in their opinion Feeley would
recover in two or three days, and that
he was suffering from concussion.
The fight was not a particularly in
teresting one while it lasted, in the
first round the men fiddled and sized
each other up, without either landing
a solid blow. Jeffords was in the pink
cf condition and fast. His foot work
was clever and from the start he
seemed the superior of the big fellow
Irom lowa. Both were cautious in this
round, however.
First Knock Down.
In the second round the fighters went
together in earnest. Feeley played
tor the body and landed several on Jef-
Icd. The Californian, however, duck
ed cleverly and used his feet to advan
tage. Feeley fell short ol'tener than
he landed. In no manner did he ap
pear to be the match of his opponent
who fought like a champion. in this
round Feeley received a blow near the
heart that lifted him from the mat and
sent him down with a thud. He was
on his feet in a second, however, and
the gong sounded.
In the third round Jeffords began
playing for the jaw. He had plenty
of steam and it was apparent that he
was getting ready for a knockout. He
was cautious and watched his chance,
while Feeley continued to crouch, and
strike for the body. A stiff punch on
the jaw sent the Sioux City man to
the mu!, but he was not long in getting
to his feet and going back at his op
ponent. He was outciasesd by the
husky chap from the Pacific, however,
and had no chance to win after the
opening round.
)libty Right Swing.
A left swing to the jaw again sent
him to the mat and he took the count.
Slowly he pulled himself together and
got back to his feet. He was dazed
and all in. He almost staggered to
wards Jeffords in a wild effort to land
another body blow, but his arm was
never drawn back.
The California fighter swung back
his mighty right, and as Feeley fairly
tottered forward, struck him on the
jaw. It was a terrific lick, and would
have killed a man not properly trained,
and not used to jabs and punches. Not
one-half of the spectators, however,
seemed to realize that Feeley had been
seriously injured.
Hhinile lij Outclassed.
The preliminary was for six rounds.
A blonde younster called Reed faced
Young Jollie and went the limit, al
though the last round was rather
short and the gong saved the blonde
boy from being knocked out. At no
stage of the game was this stranger
one-two-seven, and Jollie could have
put him out almost any time.
The boy had plenty of grit and nerve
and for five rounds waded Into what
Jollie gave him. He staggered into
and rushed Jollie, but without effect.
He hardly knew that he was fight
ing after the first round and appeared
be dazed throughout. At no stage
of the game was he Jollle's match,
and a less nervy kid would have
thrown up the sponge before the close
of the first round.

KNOCKED OFF A LADDER
BY DRAYMAN.
Sned the Ocean Steamship Company
lor H.’t.nnn Damages.
J. R. A. Fulcher, a lamp trimmer for
the Savannah Electric Light Company,
while trimining an arc lamp on the
the Ocean Steamship wharves last
October, was knocked from his ladder
by a drayman employed by the Steam
ship Company, who ran his dray against
the ladder. The lamp trimmer was
badly bruised, his head was cut and
his left wrist was broken. He was
picked up in an unconscious condition
and taken to his home. Dr. Corson
set the fractured wrist and attended
him for some time. Fulcher, however,
has been unable to do any work since
the accident, and sued the steamship
company for $3,000 damages.
The case was tried in the City Court
yesterday by Judge Twiggs represent
ing the injured man, and Mr. T. M.
Cunningham, Jr., representing the
steamship company. After listening to
the testimony and arguments for five
hours, the jury returned a sealed ver
dict which will be opened this morn
ing. It is not expected that it will be
for a very large amount.
There was not much interest in the
case, except to the plaintiff and de
fendant and their attorneys. The jury
was treated to ail sorts of testimony,
however, and after the testi
mony was in, to an hour’s
review of it by the counsel
with their comments and opinions.
There was a variety of effort on the
part of counsel to prove and disprove
various theories. The lamp trimmer’s
inability to play a piano, as the result
of the breaking of his wrist, was dis
cussed at some length. Whether he
had both feet on one step of his ladder
or whether one foot was on one step
and the other on another step when
he fell, whether the witnesses thought
he had taken one drink or ten drinks,
or whether from the smell the drinks
were whisky or beer, or whether he
had taken any drinks at all, and vari
ous other Rem*, were gone into. The
character of some of the witnesses was
attacked and the attorneys themselves
attempted to fall out. They wound
up though by congratulating the jury
and themselves that the case didn't
last any longer than it did.
MAY ABOLISH~COMMISSION.
Loral Dill* for Legislature Are
Scarce Just Now. However.
Present indications are that it is not
unlikely that at the coming session of
the Georgia Legislature an effort will
be made to abolish the Park and Tree
Commission. This is not a certainty,
however, and Mayor Myers has ex
pressed himself as being opposed to
the abolishing of the. commission.
If such a bill should be Introduced,
however, it will be the only local meas
ure of any importance that will come
up, so far as is known at this time.
The Legislature will convene on June
24, and the session will probably last
•the entire fifty days. The convict
lease system and the child labor bill
are the two most important measures
that will come up.
One of the bills governing the con
trol and use of convicts seeks to put
them at work on the roads, while the
other favors a renewal of the present
lease system. It is not believed th'at
either will pass just as drawn up. The
child labor bill may be passed in a
modified form. The opening session of
the Legislature promises to be largely
attended and the Citizens Marching
Club will probably take up a large
crowd.
PRIZE WINNING ARCHITECTS.
\orman mid Klutho Each Get gttOO
for City Hall Pinna.
For submitting excellent plans for a
new city hall Q. L. Norman of Atlanta
and H. J. Klutho of Jacksonville have
each been awarded S2OO by the Build
ing Committee of Council. Mr. H. W.
Witcover has been selected to draw
new' plans for the city hall.
The selection of Mr. Witcover, who
presented attractive plans to the Build
ing Committee, was an assured fact.
None of the fourteen plans submitted
were entirely satisfactory and it was
decided, as was stated in the Morning
News, to reject all and employ an ar
chitect. Mr. Witcover will get to
work at once on anew set of plans
which will later be examined by some
expert, to be decided upon later.
There are many who have contended
from the first that the contract should
be given fo some competent Savannah
architect and the selection of Mr. Wit
cover is certain to give satisfaction.
The work will be done as rapidly as
possible and unless the building can bo
put up during the life of the present
administration ’ there will be no city
hall.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. MAY 29. 1903.
TO KEEP UP FIGHT
TILL INSURANCE COMPANIES TAKE
OFF THE 15 PER CENT.
REFUSAL MAY MEAN BOYCOTT
OR THE FORMATION OF A LOCAL
MUTUAL INSURANCE CONCERN.
Mayor Myora nnd City Officer* Satis
fied With Showing of Water anil
Fire Deportment* Made at Coun
cil Meeting Wednesday Say*
Chamber of Commerce Should Not
Allow City to Be Imposed on by
Tariff Association—Joint Commit
tee to Invite R. L. Lawton of the
Tariff Association to a Conference.
Will Ask Removal of 15 Per Cent,
and a New Basis.
There will be no let up in the fight
that is being made to secure a lower
insurance rate for Savannah, and in
the event that the Southeastern Tariff
Association, branded by Mayor Myers,
and others, as a gigantic trust, does
not remove the objectionable 15 cents,
steps will be taken to boycott the com
panies that are members of the asso
ciation.
The discussion of . the subject of wa
ter pressure and supply in Savannah
at the session of Council, Wednesday
night, was entirely satisfactory to the
Mayor and other city officers. They ex
pressed pleasure yesterday at the facts
that were brought out during the dis
cussion and declared that the members
of the Chamber of Commerce commit
tee could not help but see that Savan
nah is being imposed upon by the
Southeastern Tariff Association.
A prominent business man stated
that under the circumstances if the
association refuses to remove the
charge of 15 cents he is in favor of or
ganizating a mutual company. In
the event that this could not be done
satisfactorily he stated he will place
his insurance through New York
agents who do not require the extra 15
cents. A great amount of Savannah
insurance is now carried by agents in
New Y r ork.
Mr. Leopold Adler, chairman of the
special committee appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose
of investigating the claim of the South
eastern Tariff Association, that the
present additional tax of 15 cents for
insufficient water supply and pressure
and past record is an equable one, hav
ing had a conference with City Council
relative to the matter, as was stated
in yesterday’s Morning News, will now
take the matter up with the Tariff As
sociation.
He expects to have associated with
his committee in this work a commit
tee from City Council, and another com
posed of local fire insurance agents.
This joint committee will then ask Mr.
R. L. Lawton, of the Southeastern
Tariff Association to visit Savannah.
The effort will then be made to have
the 15 cents taken off. and to secure a
change in the basis of the present rate,
which Mr. Adler thinks is too high, be
ing higher than that of other cities in
which the conditions are similar to
those in Savannah.
PREPARING FOR WESLEY
81-CENTENARY.
The Entertainment Committee of
which Mr. C. V. Snedeker is chairman,
for the Wesley-Bi-centenary is hard
at work preparing for the great cele
bration, and has already secured the
use of the steamer Clifton for a big
excursion to be given on the river
Saturday, June 27. -As a very large
number of citizens and visitors will
likely wish to avail themselves of the
trip the committee has arranged to
have the use of the steamer Clayton,
also.* Friday, June 26, will be Bethes
da day, and the committee has made
arrangements about cars and schedules
for that day.
Rev. J. A. Smith of the committee
has been appointed to prepare the
souvenir booklet for the occasion and
is now engaged in getting material for
this publication, which will contain
portraits of Wesley and of the promi
nent men who are to speak here next
month, as well as much valuable in
formation and many interesting pic
tures of Savannah and vicinity.
AWNING FOR SCHOOL YARD
Will He Erected for Children of
HSfii Street School.
The complaint of a lack of comfort
for school children in some of the pub
lic ■ school buildings, reported in the
Morning News yesterday, was read
with interest by many patrons of the
schools.
Commissioner R. J. Davant of the
Board of Education, completed ar
rangements yesterday for the placing
of an awning in the Thirty-eiehth
Street School yard. The canvas will
be 10 by 30 feet, and will afford ample
shade, it is expected, to the children
during recess, for the remainder of the
present school term.
LIBRARY COMMITTEE
AT WORK.
The Library Committee of the Pub
lic Library's board of managers is go
ing forward rapidly with plans, pre
paratory to opening the library to the
public. The order for the railing to be
placed in Hodgson Hall has been
placed, and the application cards and
the borrowers' cards are now in the
hands of the printers. So soon as the
first are finished the public will be no
tified, and persons can then call at the
library and secure one; this will enable
them to have the card properly filled
out and filed by the time the institu
tion is opened.
In a short time, too, the numbers for
the books will have arrived, and the
work of putting them on will be begun.
When this is finished, which will be In
about two weeks, It is anticipated, the
library will probably be ready to be
thrown open to the public.
CHRIST CHURCH SUNDAY

ALL RESORTS HANDLING
BIG CROWDS.
Those Who Have Interest* at These
Place* Expect Banner Season.
Without exception those who are in
terested in the resorts in the vicinity of
Savannah figure that the present sea
son will eclipse all others. Manager
C. B. Kidder of the Savannah Electric
Company is of the same opinion, and
has the company’s rolling stock in ex
cellent condition for the rush that has
already started.
With the additional summer cars
that have just arrived from Philadel
phia, Manager Kidder is certain that
he will be able to handle the large
crowds this summer, and at the same
time give excellent service on the belt
lines in the city. Already the Tybee
season is on in full blast, and Proprie
tor Graham of Hotel Tybee expects a
successful season. Tybee is well ad
vertised and attracts thousands from
the interior.
■The Casino at Thunderbolt seems to
be the objective point of the Charles
ton excursionists and the excursion
ists from the interior have taken to
this nearby resort since the salt water
swimming pool has been constructed,
so that it will hold water at any tide.
This pool has grown popular rapidly,
and Lessee Nelson has been forced to
name a day for the lady patrons of
the resort. During the remainder of
the summer only ladies will be per
mitted in the pool on Thursdays, and
they will be given the "shoot the chute”
to themselves. Many took advantage
of the opportunity offered yesterday.
A contract has been closed with
Boom's circuit for this resort for firs.-
class attractions during the summer
months. Manager Kidder has about
decided to have only three matinee per
formances a week, and dancing for the
children on the afternoons of the other
three days. The opera company will
play matinees to-day and to-morrow,
and close its engagement to-morrow
night. Its performances have been
successful from every standpoint.
At Isle of Hope Mr. Barbee is pre
pared to handle large crowds. The
regular weekly dance was held last
night, and a large crowd went out to
this popular resort. The "shoot the
shute" at Barbee’s place is being com
pleted, and will be an additional at
traction when finished.
MAY WATER GARDENS
AN HOUR LONGER.
Xew flours Have Been Named by the
Wuter Committee of Council.
Those who want to water their gar
dens and sprinkle the streets need not
do so during the heat of the day. The
Water Committee of Council has made
a change in the hours during which
gardens and lawns may be watered.
The new hours give an extra hour
for this work, too. Gardens may be
watered and streets sprinkled between
6 a. m. and 9 a. m. and between 6 p.
m. and 8 p. m. It was shown to the
committee that plants are watered
early in the evening when the sun
is shining they are very apt to be
(steamed and killed. For this rea
son a change has been made in the
hours.
The Water Committee is zealously
guarding the city’s water and all of
those who violate the ordinance will
be docketed and punished. The city
is determined to stop the waste of
water and a house to house inspection
is being made by the water inspectors.
In the neighborhood of twenty-six
citizens will appear, in Police Court
this morning and answer charges of
w'asting water, Several of the de
fendants are charged with letting yard
fountains run all day and all night,
contrary to an ordinance. One citizen
made the statement that he did not
know this was a violation and that
his fountain had been running about
seven years.
SUPT. MERRIHEW RESIGNED.
Cnpt. .J. J. Gaadry N>w Superin
tendent of Cotton Exchange.
Capt. J. J. Gaudry succeeded Mr. J.
P. Merrihew yesterday as secretary
and superintendent of the Savannah
Cotton Exchange, to be effective June
1. Mr. Merrihew's resignation had
been in for some time, and at a special
meeting of the board of directors it
v\‘as accepted.
Mr. Merrihew had been superintend
ent of the Exchange since 1888. and his
retirement was a source of regret to
members. During his administration
the records have been kept correctly.
Statistical accuracy was his fort, and
in the execution of the detail work
that devolved upon him he was al
ways credited with efficiency.
Capt. G'audry was the recipient of
congratulations upon his election. It
was conceded that no more generally
satisfactory selection could have been
made. For years he has occupied a
prominent place in the cotton trade,
and his intimate knowledge of the busi
ness fits him admirably for the official
duties he is to assume. Coupled with
his fitness. Capt. Gaudry is popular
among members of the Exchange, as
was shown by the pleasure they ex
pressed upon his election.

TO GET IST. CAVALRY
COMMITTEE FROM CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE WILL CALL ON
GOVERNOR.
GOES TO ATLANTA TO-NIGHT.
COL. P. W. MELDRIM ASKED TO
ATLANTA FOR A CONFERENCE.
Members a# Committee Mayor Her
man Myers. Col. J. H. Estill nnd
Col. George T. Cann—Savannah's
Chances to Secure Encampment
Improved Because of Lessened
Amount of Appropriation—Greater
Part of Regiment Could Ride
Horse* to Savannah—Dress Pa
rades Might Be Held In City nnd
Prises Might Be Offered for Drill*.
The Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee, consisting of Mayor Herman My
ers, Col. J. H. Estill and Col. George
T. Cann, which was appointed day be
fore yesterday to call on Gov. Terrell
relative to having the First Cavalry
Regiment encamp at Savannah, wilt
leave for Atlanta to-night and will
have a conference with the Governor
Saturday morning.
Yesterday the committee called on
Col. P. W. Meldrim, the head of the
First Regiment, relative to having Sa
vannah selected. Col. Meldrim stated
that he had been invited to Atlanta by
Gov. Terrell to discuss the matter and
that he will go to-night.
It is felt that Savannah should have
no great difficulty in securing the en
campment, one of the chief reasons
being that the majority of the troops
composing the First Regiment are so
near Savannah that they could ride to
this city and thus save a large item in
the cost of transportation, which other
wise will have to come out of the funds
appropriated for encampments'- by the
government.
This should merit serious considera
tion, as the fund has been greatly re
duced—that is, the fund thought to be
available for the encampments of the
state troops has been found to be
much smaller than was counted on.
The saving of transportation is not
the only advantage that Savannah has
to offer, however, for the State Fair
grounds, which have been placed at the
disposal Of the cavalry, will make an
ideal damping ground, having excel
lent arrangements for mess halls and
a large number of convenient and well
arranged stables. Though there is no
ground in the enclosure that would do
for maneuvers, yet there is plenty of
it on the outside and in the immediate
vicinity, and where dress parades are
desired the regiment might hold them
in Savannah, a plan that probably
would please both the troopers and the
citizens.
It has been suggested, too, that sev
eral prizes might be offered from lofcal
sources, for horsemanship, appearance,
skill with the sabre and for other
qualifications, so that the members of
the regiment would have an incentive
to do their best.
CONVICT GOT LIQUOR.
Factory Managers Don't Wont
Whiskey Sold in Neighborhood.
It has developed that the protest
filed by representatives of the factories
and mills west of the city against the
sale of liquor in the vicinity of the sev
eral manufactures was prompted by
the discovery that liquor had been sold
to persons employed in that vicinity.
The fact that liquor was being dis
posed of in the vicinity of the factories,
and even on the premises, was first
made known by the discovery, it Is
stated, that some of the convicts at
the Mill Haven Company's plant had
been drinking.
So far as is known it was not ascer
tained just who had been disposing of
the liquor to the convicts and others m
the neighborhood, but the howl that
went up from those in charge of the
factories stopped the sale of the ob
jectionable beverage. The managers
and superintendents of the manufac
tures were given to understand that
an application would be made for a
liquor license, and the protest was
filed with a view to blocking off the
granting of such a license.
RETAIL MERCHANTS
TO CONSIDER CONCERTS.
The interest continues in the ques
tion “Is Savannah to have concerts in
the Park this summer?” Mr. Scott
Cameron, conductor of the First Regi
ment Band, by which the concerts
were given last year, has brought the
matter of concerts this season to the
nttention of Mr. Leopold Adler and has
been promised by that gentleman that
he will take the matter up at a meet
ing of the Retail Merchants' Associa
tion which is to be held shortly.

Nick Headache.
Watch for the first indication of an
attack and as soon as you feel it com
ing on take three of Chamberlain’s
Stomach and Liver Tablets and the at
tack may be warded off. Mr. Geo. E.
Wright of New London, N. Y.. says:
"For several years my wife was trou
bled with what physicians called sick
headache of a very severe character.
She doctored with several eminent
physicians and at a great expense, only
to grow worse until she was unable to
do any kind of work. About a year ago
she began taking Chamberlain’s Stom
ach and Liver Tablets, and to-day
weighs more than she ever did before,
and is real well.” For sale by all drug
gists.
No Need of It.
There is no need of anyone suffering
from rheumatic pains. Read what Mrs.
Anna Hagelgans of Tuckahoe, N. J ,
has to say regarding it: “I have derived
great benefit from the use of Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm for rheumatism and
lumbago. My husband used it "or a
sprained back and was also quickly re
lieved. In fact, it is the best family
liniment I have ever used. I would not
think of being without it. I have rec
ommended it to many and they always
speak very highly of it and declare its
merits are wonderful.” For sale by all
druggists.

Why P. P. P.,Lippman'* Great Reme
dy. is the Best Medicine In the
United States.
P. P. P. is made up of green Prickly
Ash bark, gathered when the sap is
down, green poke root, dug out of the
ground, and green stillingig root,
gathered at the seasonable time. All
brought to our store, and laid out,
green as gathered, on large boards, to
%r.v, where they are carefully preserved
in the strongest double-proof spirits to
preserve their virtue intact.
Every article in P. P. P„ Lippman's
Great Remedy, is printed plainly on
the bottle. Every physician knows the
great virtue of P. P. P. in the cure of
rheumatism, scrofula, blood poison
ing, catarrh in all its stages, and be
sides P. P. p. is a fine tonic for delicate
females, curing their troubles, and in
valuable in dyspepsia.
Other remedies are made out of roots
imported from Mexico and the East
Indies; are dry and rotten in many
cases. P. p. p. is made fresh from
green roots and barks gathered by our
selves on the seacoast near Savannah
This is why p. p. p. | s the best medi
cne in the United States. The physi
cians know it and the patients feel it
