mystery about
drowned man
HIS BODY WAS EXHUMED.
D. C. CLARK THOIGHT HE
MIGHT BE HER MISSING HtSBAND.
Hcnd W Crashed In By
Blnnt In.trnment—Card In
*<*’■ Pocket Doe. Not

Botly Wu Bnrled at Way. Station.
It , 1,..-ell Hallroad Track and the
Bond.
A mystery that deepens with each
invests 3 tion surrounds the finding of
body of an unknown white nVan
t t l,e Ogeechee trestle on the Atlantic
Co , st Line Railway last Thursday
morning, and the belief prevails in the
vicinity of Ways’ Station that a thor
ough investigation will bring to light
nhose directly responsible for the man’s
death.
Messrs. W. M. Easterlin. C. S.
O'Connell and Richard Barrett went
t 0 Ways Station yesterday to exhume
, h( , b„ly, which had been interred at
an old cemetery near the railroad
tracks, to ascertain if It were th'at
of IJ. C. Clark. Mr. Easterlin is a
cousin of Mr. Clark and went to look
at the body at the urgent request of
Mis. Clark, who resides at No. 314
Liberty street, west.
Mr. Easterlin is positive the body
was not that of his cousin, being too
small and with different colored hair.
Hud Played the Races.
“I saw at a glance it was not the
body of Mr. Clark,” said Mr. Easter
jin. As had been previously stated
the man had on button shoes, a neat
suit of dark clothes and a large check
ed shirt. He did not have on a collar,
but iiad a small blue necktie in his
pocket. _ .
Other articles in his pocket were a
novel "Ivan, the Serf,” a card bear
ing the name of "L. C. Lavinge, 106
Washington street, Columbia, S. C.;
ten bookmaker’s tickets, showing the
man had been playing the races at
Columbia, as the tickets bore the name
of The Southern Club,” which was one
of the bookmakers doing business at
the lair there recently. The tickets
indicated that the man had bet any
where from $2 to $5 on race, having
several tickets on Eady W.
Ilfs Skull Was Crushed.
“When we took the top off the box
it was evident, beyond a doubt, that
the man had been struck in the head
with some instrument which had
c rushed his skull. The body was in a
bad state of decomposition, but I
could easily see he was not Mr. Clark.
“According to statements which were
made to us, there is something very
mysterious about the case. The body
was found by Horning, a duck hunter,
it was stated, at King’s Ferry. He
said he brought it down to the Ogee
chee trestle and tied it up. The body
remained in the water all Thursday,
and was moved several times. It is
not generally believed in the neighbor
hood that the body was put in the
water at King's Ferry.
"On the card bearing the name of
the Columbia man were several other
names in pencil. One of these, I re
member, was Jones. I do not recall
the initials.”
Wife of Clark Relieved.
After Mr. Esterlin, and the two
gentlemen who accompanied him had
viewed the body. they reinterred it.
He returned to Savannah and assured
Mrs. Clarke it was not her husband.
A special from Columbia
the following information:
“There is no such name as ‘Levlgne’
in the city directory and there is no
such number as 1106 Washington
street,’ since Washington street be
gins with the 700 block to number.
Mr. L. C. Levin, the auctioneer, has
his place of business and residence
at 1106 Washington street but be said
yesterday afternoon that he had no
knowledge of the man. It is possible
that someone, perhaps a fair week
visitor, for some purpose took down
Mr. Levin e name and got the spelling
and the number wrong.
DOCKETED FOR TYING
HORSE TO SHADE TREE.
Fli-t Cane Made Since Agitation
Wan Started.
For hitching his horse to a shade
tree, Albert Ward, of No. 110 Ander
son street, east, was placed on the
police docket yesterday by Mounted
Patrolman W. H. Smith. He is charg
ed with violating section 1276 of Mac-
Donell's code, which makes it unlawful
to tie a horse, or other aninf&l to trees
on the streets.
The case is the outcome of the agi
tation started by Chairman Dafflii, of
the Park and Tree Commission. The
commission received a report that
many trees had been killed by horses
gnawing them. M'ayor Myers stated
he did not believe very many of the
t'ces had died from this cause, but
ga\e instructions to tho police to make
cases wherever any one was found us
ing a tree as a hitching post. The
case yesterday Is the ilrst that has been
made.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS
PARTY OF COMMON PEOPLE.
Continued from Page Twenty.
ed then, as we need now, some form
of currency w hich will expand or con
tract as the business needs of the
country require. Canada to-day has
the nearest approach to this idea.
All realized the need of currency ex
pansion, but instead of seeking to
solve the problem rightly we tried to
get expansion by an assault upon the
standard of value. We sought the
unlimited coinage of a baser metal,
irrespective of its market value, which
is fixed by the law of supply and de
mand. We sought expansion, but to
get it, imposed upon ourselves the
impossible task of upturning an econ
omic principle that is as immutable
as is the law of death.
Currency Question is Live.
The currency question should still
be a live one. It is imperative that we
solve it. It now sutllces for pros
perous times. It wili suit us illy in
the day of distrust when prosperity
shall wane. We need a currency that
will expand or contract currently with
business necessity. Our Democratic
leaders fully realized our financial
needs, but fail to apply the right
remedy. The Republicans with their
accustomed astuteness profited by our
error.
And so it has been with every col
lateral issue. The Democrats always
on the wrong side ultimately, even if
they start right. The Republicans al
ways wind up on the right side even
if they start wrong. Right or wrong
the Republicans always claim the
credit of everything and are smart
enough to get it.
In fact, the Republican party to
day, though a full partner with plu
tocracy, and though responsible for
the laws which give to plutocracy its
license to plunder the common people,
has so skillfully oulmaneuvered the
Democratic leaders upon collateral is
sues as to entirely obscure the cardi
nal idea of Democracy, and eliminate
it from the last contest
Take the Popular Side.
What we want to do now is to re
organize on a Democratic basis. Let
us quit finding fault with everything
just because we can. If collateral is
sues arise on matters of policy let us
look at them sensibly.
Let us take the popular side of every
Issue. It is always the right side. If
the Republicans choose our side let
there 'be no issue between us. Don’t
let us take the other side purely in a
spirit of antagonism.
Then let us cry out in clarion tones
that from henceforth the money power
must not, and shall not, through un
just and unfair laws corruptly passed,
have license to plunder the American
public.
Make men equal before the law,
whether they be poor individuals or
gigantic corporations with Titanic
powers. With this war cry we can
summons Democrats from far and
near. They will rally enthusiastically
around the standard. There are enough
Democrats in this country to carry the
party upon this platform to victory
four years hence.
WANTS APPROPRIATION
FOR PLANTING TREES.
South Side Club Will Pnx Iteuoln
tioiiN at Meeting Friday.
At the meeting of the South Side Ad
ministration Club, which is to be held
Friday night, a resolution will be pass
ed asking Council to include in the
Park ‘and Tree appropriation for next
iyear 31,000 to be devoted to the pur
chasing of trees for the southern sec
tion of the city.
The club has already outlined a num
ber of improvements that will be fought
for this year, and resolutions in re
gard to most of them will be passed
at the meeting this week. The pres
ent system of tree planting by the city
will be condemned by the club.
The meeting will be the first the club
has held in some time. Resolutions
indorsing Mayor Myers ‘and 'the pres
ent administration will be passed. An
Executive Committee composed of 100
will be named by President John F.
Glatigny. Some of the speakers at
the meeting will be Messrs. A. A. Law
rence, F. M. Oliver, W. H. Wade,
Shelby Myrick, E. 11. Abrams, James
F. Evans. Robert L. Colding, and A.
L. Alexander.
A large attendance is expected at
the meeting. From now until the
municipal election in January meet
ings will be held at regular intervals.
WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our dally dose of sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier,” tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur In a palatable, con
centred form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and ex
periment have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that ob
tained from Calcium (Calcium Sul
phide) and sold In drug stores under
the name of Stuart’s Calcium Wafers.
They are small chocolate coated pel
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con
centrated. effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur In restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur ants directly on the
liver, £nd excretory organs and puri
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and Impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparation
of sulphur, of which Stuart’s Calcium
Wafers is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles, and cure
constipation nnd purify the blood In a
way that often surplses patient and
physician alike.
Dr. R. M. Wilkins, while experi
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found that the sulphur from Calcium
whs superior to any other form. He
says; "For liver, kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
from constipation or malaria, I have
been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart’s Calcium Wafers.
In patients suffering from bolls and
pimples and even deep-seated carbun
cles, I have repeatedly seen them dry
up and disappear In four or five days,
lenving the skin clear and smooth.
Although Stuart’s Calcium Wafers Is
a proprietary article, and sold by
druggists, and for that reason tabooed
by many physicians, yet I know of
nothing so safe and reliable tor con
stipation, liver and kidney troubles
and especially In all forme of skin dis
ease an this remedy."
At any rdle people who are tired of
pills, cathartlas and so-called blood
"surUlere" will find In ituart’s Cal
cium Wafers a far aafer. more pal
atable and effective preparation.

SURPASSED THE
TILDEN SCENES
NEW YORK ELECTION NIGHT.
COL. WILLIAM GARRARD IS RACK
FROM THE METROPOLIS.
Dining At Democratic Clnb Wltli
Fellow Siivaiinnhinn* When Re
turns Came In—Feeling of Gloom
Became Oppressive and They Went
Down Broad way—Hnge Crowds
Filled the Streets—Scene Was it
Remarkable One.
While dining at the New York Demo
cratic club on the night of the election
Col. William Garrard heard the bad
news of the overwhelming defeat of
the party by the Republicans.
Continued bad news produced such
a chilly feeling at the club that Col.
Garrard and his friends found their
health threatened and went outside to
get warmed up.
Col. Garrard returned to Savannah
yesterday. He was accompanied by Mr.
A. A. Lawrence and Mr. Sigo Myers,
who were also with him at the New
York club on election night.
“I was in New York on the night of
the Hayee-Tilden contest,” said Col.
Garrard, “but the demonstrations then
were not nearly so great as Tuesday
night. From Twenty-third street to
Fiftieth street there was a howling
mass of people which blocked the side
walks and filled the streets. Horns
without number made the night hide
ous with their din.
Returns Produced Depresalon,
'/Before the returns began to come
in we sat down to dinner, but before
we got through there enough return*
had come to indicate it was very bad
for Democracy. As the magnates came
in it became very chilly, and as the
place filled up the depression became
more noticeable. In a short time it
became evident that a Waterloo had
been fought.
•‘lt would fitly describe the situation
to say that the Democrats at the club
were simply stunned. They thought
that Herrick would be elected beyond
question. Many Republicans voted for
him as a rebuke to Odelism. Herrick
did get a large vote, but not enough
of it. _ .
"The limit seemed to be reached
when a Republican Legislature was
elected In Missouri to chose a succes
sor to Senator Cockrell. Things got
bluer and bluer, and we decided to
quit the place. We put on our over
coats and went down town to see the
sights. ..
Scenes on tlie Streets.
"We walked from Fiftieth street to
the Hoffman House, where I was stop
ping. There was a steady stream in
both directions, the marchers seomlng
to have no particular object In view
further than to keep on the streets.
Horns, rattles, college yells and
noise galore rent the atmosphere. It
reminded me very much of the New
Orleans Mardl Gras. There was lots
of excitement, though the greatest
good nature prevailed. I believe It
would have been the same If Parker
had been elected, with perhaps the
ver y gjiiie crowds celebrating. a.
vent was needed for their excitement
accumulated during the campaign.
"About 10 o’clock we reached the
Hoffman House, and I was glad to
enter a haven of rest. From the
window of my room we looked out on
Madison Square. It seemed to me
there were 10,000 people there, men
Rnd women, high and low. Nearly,
all had horns and other Instruments
of torture, and for more than two
hours after we arrived there was one
continuous roar Election r * t^T* l *
pictures were displayed. A slight drie
ssle finally drove crowds into the res
taurants and rathskellars.
"There was a scene of the utmost
brilliancy along Broadway, the street
being as bright ss day. People were
throwing paper from the balconies
on the crowd below.
Hard to Hxplain.
"On the next day nobody could give
any explanation of the landslide. We
didn’t think Roosevelt would have It
by so great a majority. Many Demo
crats voted for Roosevelt because they
would not stand for the party with
Hr van’s heresies, with free sliver In
the background. Their Idea was to let
things go as they are. Parker made
a most favorable impression, It toeing
conceded everywhere that his cam
paign was good, but too short.
“After the election the principal topic
was ’What will become of the Demo
cratic party?* The opinion of conserva
tive Democrats seemed to be that the
party should hold together ar.d get
back to the original mooring* from
which It had out loose to sisoh a large
estsnt. Though there Is no eetimatlng
what a man like Bryan, with power
like he has, can do if he tries to carry
out his views of radicalism and un-
Demooratic theories, ns we see them.”
NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT
CONGESTION OF TROOPS.
Savannah Officers Will Not Dtacnss
Atlanta Criticisms.
Military men in Savannah will not
discuss the report sent out from At
lanta that military officers there are
of the opinion that Savannah and
Atlanta had ttoo many military com
panies, and the country towns not
enough.
As is well known to every one famili
ar with the history of Savannah, this
city has a number of very old military
organizations, and while it is true that
under the provisions of the Dick bill
they have been changed from social
organizations to almost entirely mili
tary, there has not appeared any dis
position to allow the old companies to
die for lack of the requisite, member
ship.
Savannah has perhaps more military
spirit and achievement than
the remaining cities and towns
of the state combined, and
it Is hardly likely that any
of the companies will suffer themselves
to come under the ban.
Col. Gordon, and Lieut. Col. Grayson,
of the First regiment, were among
those who were unwilling to say any
thing on the subject of reducing the
number of military companies in Sa
vannah and Atlanta, or to reply to the
alleged ortticisms of the personnel of
the troops here.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS HERE.
Among the 'bailers at the Morning
News yesterday were Oapt. James
Lachlison and Capt. James L. Foster

Oapt. Lachlison is the last survfvlng

Sensational Murder Trial to Re
Heard in Effingham County.
One of the most sensational murder
trials In the history of Effingham coun
ty will be taken up during the No
vember session of the court, which
convenes at Springfield Monday morn
ing, Judge Paul E. Se&brooke presid
ing.
The case Is that of the state vs. John
J. Reiser, changed with the murder of
Lester Peevy last July, In which a
chain of evidence has been welded by
Solicitor General Livingston Kenan
which is worthy of Sherlock Holmes.
When application was made to Judge
Seabrook some time ago to release
Reiser on bail. Solicitor Kenan offered
evidence In the way of a cup, which
had been found In a place where
Reiser was oonnected with having
placed It. Remains of blood were found
in the cup.
In the bottom of the Vessel were
small fragments of a celluloid collar.
The circumstances of the shooting of
Peevy were such that It was at first
made to appear that someone bad shot
Peevy as he was entering Reiser's
house. Blood was found on the door
post to hear out this theory.
It Is now contended by the state
that the blood was placed there by
someone, and it Is further contended
that the cup, which was found under
the house, was used to throw the
blood on the door post, the person do
ing it dipping up blood from the
wound In Peevy*s neck.
Solicitor Kenan has made arrange
ments for the state chemist to testify
that the blood In the cup Is human
gore, and the small particles of white
substance to be celluloid. It will be
contended that these were particles of
the collar worn by Peevy when he
was shot, the gunshot wound being ir.
the neck.
Both Reiser and Peevy were highly
respected citizens of Effingham, and the
case bids fair to be of unusual Inter
est.

NEW TRIAL IS DENIED
IN THE GOODMAN CASE.
Appeal May Bp Taken hy Attorney*
for the Defendant.
Judge Cann yesterday dented the
motion for anew trial in the case of
W. C. Goodman, charged with murder
ing Patrolman Zipperer and convicted
of voluntary manslaughter.
Goodman has been sentenced to
serve eight years at hard labor in the
penitentiary. The circumstances of the
case have already been given in the
Morning News, being published at the
time of tho first trial.
Besides the usual grounds on which
anew trial in asked, the attorneys for
the defendant charged that the court
had erred In refusing to grant the
motion of the defense for a mistrial
when certain words were used by the
solicitor general. It was also held that
the admission of Ztpperer’s dying
words “Oh God, my poor wife and
children," was Illegal, on the ground
that the testimony was irrelevant.
Judge Cann denied the motion on
all grounds and unless a successful
appeal Is taken the verdict and sen
tence will stand. Goodman was ropt
resented yesterday by Judge Samuel
B. Adams and the state by Assistant
Solicitor Dan J. Charlton.

BRANCH OFFICE OPENED
BY MUTUAL LIFE CO.
Cornelia* F. Moses Mads Manager
Btranne of Splendid Record.
The friends of Mr. Cornelius F. Moses
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany will be Interested to know that
the company has transformed Its office
In this city from a sub-agency to a
branch office. This means the terri
tory of Mr. Moses has been quadru
pled, now embracing all of Southeast
Georgia. The change was announced
yesterday morning during the visit of
Mr. W. H. Wootton, agency super
visor for the Southeast.
Mr. Moses Is the more gratified at
the change because of the fact that it
was entirely unsolicited on his part.
Mr. Wootton said it was conceded at
headquarters that the work of Mr.
Moses had been such that he deserved
the promotion, and this was so thor
oughly appreciated that no qpe else
had been at any time considered for
the place. He said further that the
Savannah sub-agency had been the
most successful of Its kind probably In
the South.
The promotion of Mr. Moses is the
result of the excellent work he has
done for his company for eighteen
years, services that have been given
in Augrusta, Savannah and Eastern
Georgia generally. The change from
a sub-agency to a branch offioe will
become effective Jan. I.
