Tailoring is peculiar in this: The buyer buys on faith, and what he sees when buying rep resents only a small part of the agreed price. Any cutting in price may easily he covered by sacrifice of work or trimmings, and "cut price” in tailoring really means "cut tailor ing.” Our cutters and tailors are doing the same excellent work as early In the season—our assortment is still complete and our reputation will be preserved by paying enough for our work to preserve It.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TEES DAY. DECEMBER 13. 1904. * Murray Hill Club Whiskey Pronounced by Every Connoisseur A Whiskey Rare, Without Compare. This Particular Brand for Particular People. JOS. A. MAGNUS k NEAR TO DEATH BY ASPHYXIATION WERE DISCOVERED IN TIME. MAN AND WOMAN FOUND IN UN CONSCIOUS CONDITION. Affair Took Place in Ifonae on Tay lor Street—Strong C’irciiin.tnnce. of Accident—Herbert Davis Bad Marie Long in Ho.|>ltal*—Neither Party Able to Mnke Statement, but Police Will Conduct Thorough in vestigation To-day. Timely discovered was all that saved a woman and her companion from asphyxiation at Hazel Miller’s place at No. 319 Taylor street, west, yesterday. The police will to-day investigate the matter thoroughly to determine whether there was any intent of suicide on the part of either of the occupants of the room, and it is possible arrests will be made. The man who was in the room was identified by a Mr. Moore as Herbert M. Davis, of Columbia, S. C. He is a bartended by profession, but has not been employed since he has been in Sa vannah, about one month. The woman’s name is Marie Long. She was known to the inmates of the house as Marie Nast. There was a strong circumstance of suicide in the case when Detectives Bostick and Stark made an investiga tion, but the condition of the man and woman last night made it impos sible to make a thorough inquiry into the case. Ilroke Door Open. According to the story told by Hazel Miller, the man and woman had been quarrelling considerably of late. The night before they were heard quar relling again, and it is alleged the man said he was going to kill the wom an and then himself. When the two failed to appear at the usual hour yesterday morning, the Miller woman grew suspicious and called at the room door. She received no response, tout a strong small of gas greeted her. She became alarmed at once, and the door was broken open. Both were lying on the bed in an unconscious condi tion. Dr. G. M. Norton, Dr. Wal ter Norton and Dr. Adams were has tily called, and for several hours work ed -hard to resuscitate the couple. The man seemed to be the least affected, and replied at random to questions put to him. In answer to a question as to whether he had turn ed on the gas he answered yes, but it is not believed he knew what he was saying. The woman was unconscious until after 7 o’clock, but began im proving rapidly after that time. Moved to Hospital. At 8 o'clock the woman was carried to the Park View Sanitarium and the man was carried to the Savannah Hospital. Both were improving rap idly, and were ordered held until a thorough investigation could be held. The opinion of the Inmates of the house, and those familiar with the at tachment of the couple, is that the man turned the gas on with suicidal Intent. With a knowledge of the pet ty jealousies that exist between such people, however, the detectives believe many of these rumors are but a part of the animosity which the women have exhibited in other ways towards the man. A friend of his who was with him during the afternoon said he was a member of a very prominent family in Columbia, S. C. He is a young man of not over 24 years of age. Quarter Meter l.ed. The fact that a quarter meter is used In the house may explain how the gas escaped Into the room. According to a statement which Davis made just before being carried to the hospital the light was burning when he went to sleep. He says that is the last he remembers, and that this was about 4:30 o'clock in the morning. One possibility is that after the cou ple had gone to sleep the gas went out. the quarter's worth burning out, which shuts off the supply until an other quarter is dropped into the meter. It may have been that when another quarter was dropped Into the meter later in the day the gas was turned on, and as the Jet in the room occu pied by the couple was open the gas soon filled the room. One strong circumstance to support this theory is that had the gas been turned on by the man early in the morning, both he and the woman would probably have been dead several hours before they were discovered. All of the windows In the room were down, and there was little outlet for the gas. Wm Seeking Divorce. The woman Is evidently from Char lotte. N. C. A letter which she had written to a lawyer there concerning a divorce was found. It was signed “Mnrle Long,” which Is presumed to be her real name. The woman is appar ently about 22 years old, and of rather prepossessing uppearance. Various rumors of disagreements be tween the couple were reported to the detectives. One was that the woman had gone out with another man the night before, which provoked a quar rel which came near resulting in a tight between the two. At the hospital no one was allowed to see either of the patients, but there Is little doubt of both recovering. LIVELY CHASEVFTER A BICYCLE THIEF. A 17-year-old negro boy on a bicycle, pursued by about twauty-flv* shouting people created something of a sensa tion on Broughton yesterday afternoon. The wheel which the boy was astride had been stolen from the bicycle rack in front of ileary's shoe store, and was the properly of Mr. J. P. Morls ec\ who emerged from th* store Just In time to sea the negro riding away. The hoy was nr rested and gave his name as Eddie Lloyd. He said he was not worried as his mother would pay Min out in tint# for Christ mas. PATROLMAN HAD NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING. Fired at a Dark nntl Gun Kicked Him Overboard. Patrolman Beach had a narrow es cape from drowning yesterday after noon while returning from a duck hunting trip down the river. A telephone message was received at police headquarters shortly after 8 o’clock from Patrolman Beach, asking if he could be excused from going out with the night detail until he could go home and change his wet clothes. On inquiring what was the matter Desk Sergeant McCool was told just what had happened. Beach took care ful aim at a duck just as the party of which he was a member was passing Fort Jackson. He was standing in the bow of the boat at the time. The con cussion of the gun caused him to lose his balance and he fell into the river. A helping line was thrown to the offi cer and he was towed to the shore, where he was safely taken aboard again. The officer was not injured, but was wet to the skin, and shivered considerably in consequence of his ducking. BRYAN ARRESTED WHILE PREPARING TO ESCAPE. Dennis Bryan, the negro who cut Nick Panos, a Greek, some time ago, and was in turn painfully shot by a friend of Panos, was arrested by Pa trolman Hicks yesterday and will be held until the case is heard. Panos was not arrested at the time, as his condition was such the physi cians said he was not able to be mov ed. He was recovering rapidly, and the police learned he was making prep arations to depart from the city when he was ordered arrested by the super intendent. American Guild Officer..
