J. H. Estill Geor gia has a citizen whose long and hon orable business career, close study of state interests and government ques tions, and intimate acquaintance with the entire people, their wishes and ambitions, qualify him to make the state a model, progressive Governor, representing all the people and pro tecting and promoting their interests, hereby urges Col. Estill to again en ter the gubernatorial race, and pledges itself to labor zealously here. and throughout the state, for his nomina tion and election to the high office to which South Georgia is now entitled. Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Col. Estill under the seal of the club. Greatest Pomilile Advantage. The resolution indorsing Mayor My ers and pledging the support of the club to him in his race for another term, which was introduced by Mr. J. F. Freeman, was as follows: Whereas, during the first two years he held the office of Mayor of Savan nah. 1895 and 1896, and during the last six years when he has continued in that responsible position, the Hon. Herman Myers has demonstrated he is ardently devoted to the upbuilding of Savannah, and all of its interests, and has worked zealously to the end that this city might be improved in all di rections, that its business might be expanded and its citizens made pros perous, that the monies received from them as taxes might be used to the greatest advantage possible, and Whereas, as a result of his efforts in these directions, and of his especial labors in behalf of the new southern section of Savannah, whose growth has been the most marked feature of the city’s history during the last dec ade, the territory south of Anderson street has been vastly benefited, streets opened in all directions, encroachments removed, highways paved, sidewalks laid, fire and police protection provided, water mains laid, parks provided and beautified, trees set out, and an earn est desire shown at all times to meet the wishes of the residents of this dis trict, and Whereas, it is unmistakably to the Interest of the South Side that the Hon. Herman Myers and those asso ciated with him in the conduct of city affairs, should be continued in office for another term, in order that their plans for Ihe further improvement and beautifying of this section be carried out without interference or delay, therefore, be it Resolved, that the South Side Club, representing the voters and property owners of the southern section of Sa vannah, as an evidence of its appre ciation of the services of the present administration, and of its confidence In its determination and ability to car ry on additional works for the better ment of this section of the city, do hereby pledges Itself to the support of the Hon. Herman Myers foi .a fifth term as Mayor of Savannah. Harrier to Development. The resolution urging the -•emoval of the GeorgU Infirmary from its present location on Abercorn street was as follows: Whereas, The South Side Club hav ing made a canvass aj the citizens living In the southern section of the city, and having been urged by them In the Interest of the advancement of -this particular section of our beauti ful city to devote and work for the removal of the Georgia Infirmary from Its present location; therefore.

The following resolution in regard to the opening of Thirty-fifth street was also adopted: Resolved, That this, the South Ride Club. In meeting assembled, do heart ily indorse the movement to open Thirty-fifth street from the east side of Barnard to the west side of Bull street, and Us advisory board Is here by instructed to use every legitimate mean* in its power to secure the ad ministration of the urgent necessity of having this street opened at oner.

The following resolution In regard to the beautifying of the aouthern section of the city was passed: Resolved, That the advisory board of this club bs and It is hereby In structed to urge the City Council that In preparing the budget for the differ ent departments for next year, they Specify particularly that SI,OOO of the amount appropriated for the {'ark and Continued on Third rage. SERVED SUBPOENA ON THE WRONG MAN. Sheriff* Had to Hi.*tle After Need ed Grand Jury Witness. There was a decided mix-up yester day when the sheriff called the roll of witnesses wanted by the Superior Court grand Jury. When the name of F. F. Jones was called, there was undoubted proof that something had gone wrong. •'To F. F. Jones: You are hereby commanded that laying all other busi ness aside and notwithstanding any excuse, vou be and appear before the Superior Court by 4 o’clock p. m. on the day of Nov. 18, to testify and speak the truth, according to your knowledge in the case of John Smith.” That was the way the subpoena read. When the grand jury had retired to its room one of the deputy sheriffs be gan taking an account of stock of the witnesses on hand. Ali responded promptly when their names were called. When the officer called “F. F. Jones,” however, there were some develop ments of an unexpected nature. In stead of the dignified ex-alderman and former grand Juror, there stepped for ward a neatly dressed colored man, who bowed politely and replied, "I am here.” There was a decided Inclination to dispute the fact, and at last it was hinted that this was not the F. F. Jones wanted. Then the colored man stated again ho was F. F. Jones and he produced the subpoena as proof he was the party wanted. He was informed lie wasn’t needed, and could leave. This he did promptly. Then the search began for the real Mr. Jones. A telephone call at his of fice gained only the information that he was not there. Then Chief Deputy Sweeny thought of the Yacht Club and there he landed him. Mr. Jones came back to the city and appeared before the grand jury. COMMITTEE TO TEST BRICK SAMPLES. Soak Them in Water anil Ran Them Through a Machine. A meeting of the Streets and Lanes Committee of Council has been called for Monday morning at 10 o’clock to test the brick samples submitted with the bids recently opened for furnishing the city with 50,000 square yards of brick. There were four bidders and four samples are to be tested. The testing of the brick is a rather interesting process. For the last for ty-eight hours, the samples have been soaked in water to ascertain their ab sorption properties. The bricks were weighed before being put into the wa ter, and will be weighed when they are taken out. The very best scales, which show even the smallest fraction of an ounce, will be used. The Increase in the weight, of course, will show the absorption power of the brick. After the bricks are taken out of the water, they will be tested in a ma chine, especially made for the purpose. The bricks are placed in the machine and a crank is then turned. The ma chine rubs the brick in a manner sim ilar to the wear that it would natural ly receive on the streets. In this way the wearing capacity of the brick is shown. The machine which will be used in the test is one that has been indorsed by the United States govern ment. The award of the contract will probably not be made until Tuesday or Wednesday. TURNEDMEN LOOSE ON PROMISE OF WORK. Sheriff Horrlgan Stated He Would Kind Employment for Them. John Spath and James Shanton were taken before Judge Norwood yester day, charged with stealing a ride on a railroad train. The men practically admitted they had stolen the ride, but claimed they were out of work and were only try ing to get a place where they could secure work. They had no money with which to pay for the journey and de cided to take the trip tramp fashion. Both swore they were willing to work if they could get it. Sheriff Horrigan then intervened and said he could se cure the men work at a point across the river. They consented to take the Jobs and the court discharged them, with the caution not to appear before him again on any charge, or they would be severely dealt with. HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR BLEACHER PERMIT. Though work on the 'bleachers was stopped by Building Inspector Bart lett on Thursday, no permit has yet been applied for. Until the permit is asked for and granted the work can not be resumed. The building inspector has no objec tions to the erection of the bleach ers, provided they are constructed in a safe manner. He simply wants the city ordinance requiring permits for all work of this character to be obeyed. A permit would readily be granted If asked for, but until It is applied for the work cannot be resumed. SCHEDULE CHANG ED~ON COLLINSVILLE LINE. Effective Monday, there will be a change in the schedule of the Collins ville line of the Savannah Electric Company. A thirty-minute schedule will be operated, and it is expected the results will be more satisfactory to the patrons of the line. With the Thunderbolt line running on a thirty-minute schedule the residents of Collinsville will practically be given a fifteen-minute schedule, while those ivho live on Habersham street, north of Bolton street, will be given a seven and a half minutes schedule. Funeral of l.rnrse llawkins. The funeral services over the re mains of Mr. George Hawkins took place yesterday morning at 10 o’clock at the Cathedral of St. John the Bap tist. Services were conducted by Rev Fathet Kennedy. The floral offerings were numerous. The following gentle men acted as pallbearer*. Messrs John Lyons, P Powers, J’ames Doonan, William B. Puder, Thomas Daniels, T. J. O’Brien, James McGrath and J. D Roberson. FEED 111 l>S NOT OPENED.

GAVE HOME FOR LOVE OF DIXIE VAIN PLEA FOR PENSION BY CONFEDERATE VETERAN WHO CAME FROM FAR NORTH. Denied Hi* Home. Cot Off From Friend*, Di*abled by Paralysis, Mr. Dewitt Droyn Cannot Seeure Per.*iau lleeaune One Needed Wit ness In Dead—tame Here to Fight for Southern Can*e in Slxtie*. Cnnimi**loner Lindsey Write* “1 Am Sorry.” ‘‘l am sorry for tills poor fellow.”— Pension Commissioner Lindsey. Denied the shelter of his boyhood home in the North, because he fought for the South and the cause of the six ties; denied the friendship of his old friends for the same reason; unable to earn a livelihood because in his old age paralysis has, disable home less, friendless, and Dewitt Bruyn of Savannah, and an old Con federate soldier, has been denied a pension because the only man who can testify to certain facts necessary un der the law is dead. Seventy-four years ago Dewitt Bruyn was born in Ithaca. N. Y., of good family and well-to-do. There he spent ills boyhood and there he studied for his profession, that of an architect and civil engineer. There, he would have lived always, had it not been that the justice of the Southern cause drew him here. In 1860, then a young man just In his prime, he saw that war between the states was inevitable. The principles for which the South stood appealed to him, and with the armies of the Con federacy he cast his fortunes. He came to Savannah and enlisted with the Phoknix Rifies, under Capt. George A. GordSui. and was stationed at Fort Pulaski. Served Through the Wnr. Friends in the North wrote to him to come back and join his brothers in the Federal army. He refused. Hia brothers and father begged him to fight with them and not against them. He declined to leave his adopted home. Then came the threat of disinherit ance and the denial of the parental roof, but he refused even for this to give up what his conscience told him was the right. Then came a letter for bidding him his home and telling of hate taking the place of friendship. Undaunted, Dewitt Bruyn served through the war. For a time he was with the Second Georgia. Then he was transferred to the Forty-seventh Geor gia. He served with Gen. Joseph E. Johnson and with Gen. Hardee in all parts of the South. He took part in many battles and established a record for bravery. In 1865, when there was no longer a Confederate army in the field, he was mustered out of service at Chester, S. C. Then he returned to assist in upbuilding the land for which he had fought. Disabled by Paralysis. His profession came to his aid, and he opened an architectural and stone cutting office on Bay street, between Bull and Whitaker. Here it was he worked, earning a comfortable liveli hood and always doing what he could to assuage the sufferings of those less fortunate comrades who had lost everything in the struggle of the six ties. Those who have known him best testify that never was there word of complaint at his lot. He had done his best and was satisfied. A few years ago, when past the seventy-year mark, paralysis disabled him, and his onlv means of livelihood were taken from him. Then only did We ask the state for which he had fought for aid. He applied to the Court of Ordinary for a pension, ask ing Just enough to provide him food and shelter for his last years. Effort* in Hl* Behalf. Because the man who had served with him through all the years of the war was dead, veterans and Judge McAlpin saw there would be a flaw in the pension application. To his aid went everyone who knew of his plight. The officers of the Confederate Vete rans Association made affidavits that he was the man he said he was and that when he Joined their camp the man who was needed to make the ap plication perfect was living and had testified to Veteran Bruyn’s record. Members of the camp who knew him best drew up the story of his life, of his loss of home and friends for the cause which he knew was right: of his good citizenship and of his helpless condition. This was signed by vete rans of the highest standing. Judge McAlpin took a personal In terest in the matter and wrote a lengthy letter to the pension commis sioner pleading for the pension. He told the pathetic story, beautiful la its devotion to principle, In a heartfelt manner. He closed by asking that the one technical defect be overlook ed. Commissioner Is Sorry. Yesterday came the word that the pension could not be granted, owing to this defect. The sadly beautiful story had reached the heart of the commissioner, and for the first time In his life he commented on the case with the brief but significant sentence, “I am sorry for this poor fellow.” The full return of the Pension Com missioner, Mr. J. W. Lindsey, is, "The law provides that applicant must state clearly In his claim for pension the company and regiment in which ho served and was discharged therefrom, and he must prove his statements by at least one w’ltness. Hearsay Infor mation and belief will not answer for positive evidence. I am sorry for this poor fellow.’’ Many of the present generation will remember Mr. Bruyn’s place of business on Bay street and the kindly old sol dier who built boats for them to sail In miniature ponds and oceans, and who told them stories of the struggle of the '6o's. MORE SHRINERS LEFT FOR AUGUSTA YESTERDAY. Illustrious Potentate E. A. Cutts. of Alee Temple, accompanied by a num ber of Nobles, left yesterday morning for Augusta, where a ceremonial ses sion was held last night to admit a large number of pilgrims. Mr. J. C.

The steamship Finance of the Pana ma Railroad and Steamship Company, which put Into this port Thursday of last week reporting the loss of Its rud der and rudder post as the result of heavy seas, sailed yesterday afternoon for New York, towed by the tugs W. F. McCauley and Dauntless and tow ing the schooner Margaret A. May In order to steer itself. The steamship would have left for New York within a day or two after being towed here by the steamship El Paso, but for the want of some extra large hawsers. These were promptly ordered from Now York, but failed to arrive as soon as expected. They came yesterday, however, and early the schooner was taken down the river to Tybee Roads, where the Finance lay, and made fast. The tugs later took up their position, tandem fashion, In front of the disabled ship, and at 5:10 o’clock in the afternoon the trip was begun. The Finance was en route from Colon to New York with, fruit and twenty-odd passengers when the acci dent occurred. The passengers were sent North by the Seaboard Air Line the day after the ship reached Savan nah, but the cargo was kept aboard and will not be discharged until New York is reached. A part oP this, con sisting of some 216 tons of bananas, will be a dead loss, however, as the delay has caused the fruit to become over-ripe. The trip to New York will take four or five days, at least, even with good weather. As the Finance’s machinery is unimpaired, it is probable that the vessel may be driven in part by its own propeller. Capt. Van B. Avery of the Propeller Tow Boat Company Is In charge of the McCauley. COMMITTEE HAS RETURNED FROM BRUNSWICK. Savannah Presented Before Mer elmnt Marine Commission. Messrs. William Kehoe, A. W. Solo mon, Herman Rosenheim and W. B. Stillwell returned yesterday morning from Brunswick, where they went to represent Savannah before a sub-com mittee of the Merchant Marine Com mission appointed at the last session of Congress to consider the needs of that important branch of the coun try’s business. The first three gentle men were a committee from the Cham ber of Commerce, and the last named represented the Board of Trade. The gentlemen arrived at Brunswick shortly after noon Thursday, having been delayed. It had originally been intended by the Brunswick business men to give the members of the sub committee and the visitors a boat ride in the afternoon, but owing to the delay of the Savannah and Fernandlna delegations the business session had to be adjourned until the afternoon. On the sub-committee were Senator Martin of Virginia, and Congressman Speights of Mississippi. The official Senate stenographer and a secretary accompanied the sub-committee. The case for Savannah was pre sented by Mr. Stillwell, who spoke of the many advantages which the city offered for commerce and urged the plea for a deeper water channel. This course, the speaker thought, would do much towards increasing the efficiency and growth of the merchant marine, especially for the over-seas trade from the South. He also favored the grant ing of a subsidy. Mr. Goodyear of Brunswick spoke more at length and with facts and fig ures before him. He urged that a sub sidy be granted. Col. W. E. Kay spoke against a subsidy. ”We had a profitable trip, I think” said Chairman Kehoe. ”We got before Senator Morgan, who is a member of the River and Harbors Committee in the Senate, the needs of Savannah, and also the city’s impor tance as a port.” TOOK SHOTGUN AND TRIED TO GET AWAY. Daring Thief In -Store of E. Lovell's Sons On Bronghton Street. Attempting to slip away with a dou ble-barrel shotgun from the store of E. Lovell’s Sons on Broughton street, John Harris, a negro, was dis covered and chased Mr. John F. White yesterday. The chase was down Broughton street to wards West Broad. At this point Pa trolman Remley Joined the clerk, and the negro was oaught Just as he was making his way Into Yamacraw. The negro and the gun were both sent to the police station. The pris oner will be given a hearing before the Recorder this morning. The clerks were all busy at the rear of the store, unpacking a shipment of goods, when the negro entered. He was not noticed until he started out with the gun. Then Mr. White chanc ed to glance towards the front of the store and discovered him. Harris was then leaving the store, holding the gun in front of him. A part of the barrel was visible from the rear above the man’s head, however, and Mr. White saw It. He called to the negro to stop and then tried to overtake him The race became hotter as it progress ed and created a great deal of excite ment. GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC*.

Rule of Board State* That School Room* and Building* Shall Be Used for Purpoe of School* Only. Not Probable That Thl* Rale Will he Changed—l'*ed for Recreation Room* the Room* Would be Prac tically l'*ele* a* School Room*. The revival of the suggestion first made by Judge Cann to the effect that something be done toward providing a recreation room for the boys at night, brought about through the communi cation printed in yesterday’s Morning News, called forth considerable discus sion. So far as can be learned nearly every one is of the opinion that something should be done to remedy this street-loafing evil, but there is a wide difference of opinion as to just what method is the best. The suggestion that the matter be taken up by the Board of Education and that one or more school rooms be used for this purpose does not meet with favor among the mem bers of the board. There is apparently a general feeling that such a matter is not within the province of the board, and that the school rooms cannot be used for any such purpose. Supt. Ashmore was asked about the matter at the time of Judge Cann’s charge. As reported then in the Morning News, he took the position that the care of boys at night is a matter that should be looked after by the parents. He held that the home should be made attractive and the proper reading material and games be provided, in order that the desire to run about the streets might be obviat ed. He recognized, however, that the home, the schools and the church, are all important factors in solving the problem, but claimed the first duty is with the parents. Cannot Use School Rooms. Col. George A. Mercer, president of the Board of Education, when asked about the matter, said: “The schools rooms cannot be used for such a purpose. At present there is a rule of the board to the effect that, these rooms shall not be used for any but school purposes. This rule was made necessary by many things, but especially owing to the constant applications we received for the use of the rooms for different purposes. Of course a majority vote of the board could change or suspend this rule, but I do not believe such a course would be a wise one, nor that it would be followed. “One of the chief reasons why I would oppose using the school rooms for such a purpose, is that the boys who did congregate there would deface the walls, injure the desks and other fur niture, make the room untidy, and do other things of that nature which would unfit the rooms for school pur poses. ‘‘Cleanliness and tidiness are two things that are taught in our schools, and I have often complimented teach ers and pupils upon the fact that there were no defacements of any kind on the walls and desks. This condition of affairs would not last long if the rooms were used for the purposes suggested.” Several Problem* Arise. "In the next place,” continued Col. Mercer, "several problems arise which are not easy of solution. How would you get the boys there? And would not those boys who did come be the ones who would be either at home, at the Y. M. C. A., or the library, any way? Would a recreation and reading room, of the limited scope such a room would h‘ave to be under, attract the boys that now run the streets? “Then who would watch over the boys if we did get them in. How would the damage done be assessed and would it be paid for by the parents of the boys doing it, as is done now In the schools? These and many other questions arise which are not easy of solution and which, to my mind, seem to work ‘against the adoption of the plan. “As for the argument that New York has such rooms, I do not think much of it. In the first place this city does not have the need of them in the way that New York has. In the second place we should not take New York as our example. The New York school board Is so mixed up with politics that it Is Impossible to tell wtfat motives lie behind certain moves. To sum the thing up, I do not think the sug gested plan of utilizing the school rooms as recreation rooms is feasible. The management and training of the children after nightfall should be left with the parents.” INJUSTICE DONE* TO STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Says General Manager W. H. Pleas ants In Analysing Complaints. General Manager W. H. Pleasants, of the Ocean Steamship Company, reached Savannah yesterday morning. He was seen by a representative of the Morning News in regard to a peti tion of the merchants to the Chamber of Commerce. In which It was claimed It had become more difficult to estab lish claims for losses In transit than heretofore. He was not Inclined to consider the complaint well taken. On Investiga tion he found only a small percentage of the seventeen shippers, who had signed the petition had on file any claim for damages arising from short ages, he said. "Its only business that we should have the affidavits from the consignee who opens the goods and from the shipper. Otherwise how could we know who was at fault? I am sure the Ocean Steamship Company will promptly take up claims presented in a way which all will agree is nothing but business. We want to do. and will do. the fair and square thing all round, and the committee from the Chamber of Commerce will be heard with pleasure."

The divorce libel of J. W. Ott, against his wife, Martha Ott. was heard for the second time In the Supe rior Court yesterday. A second ver dict was returned by the jury. It gave to thj man the right to again marry if he sees fit to do so, but de nied that right to the woman. Judge Cann later signed a divorce decree in accordance with the finding of the jury. There has been a noticeable ten dency this year among divorce juries to give the right to remarry to one person and to denv it to another. The number of such verdicts is unusually large, but a consultation of the records seems to indicate there Is method in the Jury's actions. In every case where the right to remarry has been denied to one of the parties, it has been the alleged guilty party. There Is apparently an opinion that the in nocent party to a divorce should be allowed to remarry, but that the guilty party should not be. PENSION REPORTS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY. The report of Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsey on the new pension ap plications filed from Chatham county this year is expected to reach the Court of Ordinary on Wednesday. None have been received as yet save that of Mr. Dewitt Bruyn, which was given especial attention by the com missioner, and reported on. as soon as possible at the united request of the Confederate Veterans of •Savannah and Judge McAlpin. The reports on the others will be received about Wednes day, and announcements of the results of their claims will be at once made to the applicants. HOUSE INJI RED NEGRO. Elias Orr, a negro cabman, was bad ly bruised by a frightened horse in front of the postoffice yesterday morn ing and narrowly escaped serious in jury. The negro had left the horse standing with a weight attached to the bit chain. The animal became frightened at a truck and the cabman grabbed the bridle to hold and quiet it. Rearing on its hind legs the horse dragged the negro for quite a distance. The animal was finally quieted, but not before Orr had a bloody nose and his arms and legs badly bruised.
