8 SOLDIERS WILL PLAY BLUE AND WHITE ELEVEN THIS AFTERNOON ARTILLERYMEN ARE MUCH STRONGER AND MORE EX PERIENCED. ENDURANCE OF THE LOCAL TEAM WILL BE TESTED. SEVERAL CHANGES IN’ THE LINE IP WILL BE TRIED. Frnnk Mclntire Will Go in at Full back* Jolmton Has Been Shifted to Guard, and Harmon Will Line Iji in the First Half—Ronniter and Black Will Both Be In the Gant Here for the First Time This Year. Louts Halves Will Be Played to Test Condition of the Men. With last night’s practice the Sa vannah team was put on edge for a hard bruising game with the soldiers at Bolton Street Park this afternoon, when some of the new men will be seen under fire for the first time. Lieut. W’inslow. athletic director at Fort Screven, said yesterday that while his men did not hope to beat Savannah, they would put up the hardest game of straight football that they are capa ble of. Just how the team will line up will not be known until the men are ac tually on the field. Capt. Cope’s in tention is to give every man on the team a chance, and will frequently change the line up unless the soldiers prove considerably stronger than is now anticipated. The line up which will go In first will probably be Monsees, center; Hicks, right guard; Levy, left guard; Artly, right tackle; Rossiter, left tackle; Smith, right end; Cubbedge, left end; Sullivan, right half back; Colquitt, left half back; Cornwell, full back; Shortridge, quarterback. Team for Five Jllnntn. This is the team which will be tried for the first five minutes anyway. The reserve guards will be Hicks, Seely, Levy, Morgan and Stubbs. The re serve ends will be Strong and Smith, The reserve halfbacks will be Doty and Colquitt, with Artly, a reserve tackle. This team should excel any in effi ciency that has been put on the field this season. Great difficulty has been experienced in getting a suitable man for fullback. It was thought Johnson would be a valuable man there, but he was not aggressive enough, and lacks the proper energy. Frank Mclntire was prevailed on to go back into the game and a headier man could not have been selected. His condition is far better than it was last season. At least twenty-five minute halves will be played so it can be determined just how' well conditioned the men are. Capt. Cope says he believes the team is now in suitable condition to play the full thirty-five minute halves if necessary. Interest In the Gume. With the Christmas game with Jack sonville but a few days off. and the final game with Charleston following just a w'eek later, the condlton of the team In this afternoon's game will be a fair sample of what it will be in these two games. The line-up which the soldiers will present this afternoon will toe the strongest they have had in any game this season. The personnel of the team will be very much the same 'as it was in the last game against Savannah, but the team has had the benefit of several weeks’ hard practice, and the experience of the games which have been played this season. Those who have the interest of the Savannah team at heart are requested to attend this afternoon and lend their moral as well as financial support to the team. While the utmost confi dence still prevails among the men in the coming games, it will do no harm to let them see they have the backing of all the rooters in the city.

Three .furies Were Locked I’p nt One Time. Yesterday was an unusually busy day in t'he Superior Court. At one time during the day there were three juries locked up in different rooms en deavoring to reach verdicts. At another time two juries were out and a third was occupied with hearing evidence in another case. The court was in session until 7:30 o’clock. At that hour all cases assigned for the day had been disposed of. The first session of the court was held during the early morning hours. At 2:30 o’clock, at the request of t’he jury. Judge Cann went to the Court, House and declared a mistrial in the case of murder brought against Jim Rhodes, colored. It is understood that the jury stood ten for acquittal and two for conviction. A full account of the trial was given in the Morning News. Jim Slater was found guilty of bur-, glarlzlng his father’s home, though the jury recommended him to punishment as for a misdemeanor. The prisoner was defended by Attorney Frank Mc lntire. Judge Cann sentenced the ac cused to pay a fine of SSO or serve two months on t'he chaingang, and warned him to be careful not to come before him again on any charge. Willie Sterling was put on trial for assault with intent to murder. He was defended by Col. Robert L. Colding. The evidence showed that the shoot ing was purely accidental, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Judge Cann instructed the defendant’s coun sel to caution his client about the use of firearms in the future. Joe Miller was tried for burglary, the state claiming he hall stolen sev eral articles of clothing from some other negroes. Miller was defended by Attorney Dexter Blount, who secured an acquittal of his client. A nolle prosequi was entered in the case against James Brown, who was joint ly indicted with Miller. JUDGMENT AGAINST BENEFIT COMPANY. Company Cam-riled Policy Without Cause, it W’na Alleged. In a trial before Justice Bevans yes terday F. C. Johnson, colored, was awarded judgment to the amount of $5.85, against the Metropolitan Mutual Benefit Association. Johnson first instituted suit for S2B, which he claimed he paid the company for policies for himself and children, but afterward withdrew the suit in be half of his children, and claimed only the amount paid on his policy. The trouble seems to huve resulted from the fact that Johnson claimed indem nity for the sickness of one of his chil dren. and the company refused to pay it. It was placed in the hands of a magistrate for collection, and was then paid by the company. When John two or three days later endeavored tq pay his weekly stipend, the collector. It is alleged, refused to accept the premium, and notified him that all policies were cancelled. By this action the company had failed to carry out Its part of the contract, and Johnson then brought suit to recover the entire amount paid. Armstrong, the manager, represented the company and was unable to show satisfactory cause why the policies were cancelled. The plaintiff was represented by Mr. W. F. Clark, through whom the plain tiff will bring suit to recover the umount paid in premiums on his chfl dren’s policies. THU N D ERBOLTSTA BBIN G AFFRAY CAUSES ARREST.

UNDERCLOTHES AND SASSAFRAS HIS DIET. Thomas Shellman Has Even the Igorrote Heat a City Block. “Lo! The poor Indian, who untutor ed feeds On Hop-toads, tad-poles, snails and centipedes.” Thus a follower of Pope sang of Poor Lo, and even before that time the world has heard of strange diets. John the Baptist lived on locus and w"d honey and the more modern Igorrato delights in his dish of dog. The canni bal prefers human-stew to any other dish. But Savannah has produced a man who has them all “beat a city block,” one Thomas Shellman, color ed. It all came about yesterday morning when Judge McAlpin was asked to go to the police station and have a look at. Shellman, who w'as reported to be all to the bad. When the Ordinary got to the man’s cell the sight that met his eyes was one which would have caused even the most blase of sightseers to pause and wonder. Shellman h‘ad removed both shoes and deposited them in the corridor just without his cell. One sock hung pic turesquely on the heavy lock that held the cell door in place. In one corner of the room lay a battered hat. The man had allowed his trousers to fall down about his 'ankles and in his hands he held his underclothing. Judge McAlpin ordered him to come forth and he came, but only a few steps. Then his wonderful appetite manifested itseJf and he started de vouring his underclothes. He had fin ished one sleeve and a portion of an other when an attendent made a grab and rescued the clothing. Then Shell man continued his march to the place where the Ordinary stood. When he passed the attendant he made a frantic grab for his under garments. got them, and tried to swal low them whole. But they had to be chewed, and shewed well, and they stuck in his craw. He pranced around tike a chicken with the pip till some one rescued the clothing, and put them out of the hungry man’s reach. Inas much as the underclothes were cotton goods, Shellman may be classed with the vegetarians. He stated that his favorite dish, next to underclothes, was sassafras, and this clinched him with the vegetarians. In answering questions asked by the Ordinary Shellman stated that a man had shot off the entire top of his head and left him with only a piece of life as big as his little finger. An Inspec tion of the head showed that the out side was all right. The man claimed he had had trouble with his hat, and with his hat alone. The hat looked it, and the probabilities are that he tried to eat. it. Later in the day his wife appeared In the Court of Ordinary and main tained that he was not crazy. The court differed with her, however, and the prisoner is held to await trial. MISTRIAL IN CASE AGAINST R. L. EASOM. Jury Could Not Get Together oil Questions of Fact. After twelve hours’ deliberation, the jury trying the case of the state against R. L. Easom, charged with as sault with intent to murder, reported that an agreement was impossible, and a mistrial was declared. The foreman of the Jury, Mr. J. Cooper Harris, stated in reply to ques tions from the court, that the jurors differed on questions of fact, and nor. of law, and that an agreement was absolutely impossible. Judge Cann then declared a mistrial. This action of the court was taken shortly after midnight last night. Easom was charged with assaulting i R. B. Blanchard with an ordinary j case knjfe and dangerously wounding him. The prosecutor claimed the cut ting was unprovoked and was the re sult of malice. The defendant claimed he was eating sugar cane, cutting it with an ordinary ease knife, when Blanchard approached him and ac cused him of talking maliciously about him. This the defendant denied. Then, according to his story, Blanch ard struck him with his fist and call ed him a liar, qualifying with several unprintable adjectives. As the defend ant was a small man and unable to defend himself, he cut at his opponent with the case knife that he had in his hand. Justification was the defense. Attorney W. B. Stubbs conducted the ease for the defendant. Just how the Jury stood could not be learned, though it was said that I they were about evenly divided. Fore man Cooper Harris stated they were nearer to an agreement within an half hour after they retired than at any other time, and that for the last sev eral hours previous to the declaring of the mistrial they had been absolutely deadlocked JUDGE MACDONELL TO HEAR ARGUMENT. Judge A. H. MacDonell, referee in bankruptcy, has announced that he will pass upon the application of the trustee of the Georgia Car Works, bankrupt, for authority to sell the property, at 10 o’clock on the morning of Dec. 23. The argument In the case will be heard at Judge MacDonell’s office, No. 4 Bryan street, east. As stated In the Morning News some time ago, the trustee of the bankrupt concern applied, through Attorneys Lawton & Cunningham, for authority to sell the eighty-one acres of land in Chatham county on which the plant of the Concern is located, together with all of the plant of the company for manufacturing railroad cars, machine shops, planingmill, foundry, sawmill, power plant and all buildings, machin ery, engines, boilers, tools, office furni ture, and all real and personal property of the concern. It is hoped that a pur chaser can be secured who will buy the property In bulk. ItKQUKSTS FOR BOOKLETS. Mr. John F. Ward, traveling passen ger and ticket agent of the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company, has received numerous requests from agents of the company stationed In the North for copies of the booklet en title, “Savannah, a City of Opportuni ties.” Mr. Ward sent codlcs to all of the company's agents and at once received requests that he send them as many of the book* as he could consistently obtain, as there is a large demand for them. He Is now sending a large num ber to Providence. New York. Utica, Pittsburg and Cincinnati. act like Exercise. UUdttUttd the Bowels All ©nt* Druggist* JOHN ODUM ONCE MORE BEFORE THE COURT. An Before Pistol nnl Liquor Canned Hln Trouble**. John Odum was again before the Superior Court charged with assault with intent to murder. As on the former occasions when John's troubles have landed him in the courls, a too-free use of liqilor and pistol was at the bottom of it all. This time he was charged with shooting at W. T. Watts. He was represented by Attor neys Frank Mclntire and Dexter Blount. According to Watt’s story he and John were having some wrestles with the product of corn, and John got a little too much. As Watts Was pass ing Odum’s home, Odum appeared and asked him in to help finish up a half pint that was still remaining. He ac cepted and then the two started out for a short Walk. According to Watt’s story, the first thing he knew a pistol shot sounded and a bullet landed in his Jaw. A second one quickly followed, and this struck him in the arm. Then Watts acted. As he explained on the witness stand: “I was afrtiid to run and I had to fight some, so I sailed In and give Odum a pretty good whipping. Then the policeman came and sent us both in.” The policeman, Patrolman Brown, Was called, and con firmed the story of Watts as far as the thrashing was concerned. The wounds on the man’s face bore out the other part of his testimony. Odum took the stand In his own be half, but his evidence didn’t do mucji for his case. He simply s'aid that he didn't remember what happened, ex cept somebody shot a pistol. He didn't even remember that he shot It. Judge Cann then charged the jury. Later he called It In again and supplemented his charge with the law on shooting not In self-defense. The jury returned In a few minutes with ‘a verdict of guilty of shooting not in his own defense, and with a recommendation to misdemeanor pun ishment and the extreme mercy of the court. Judge Cann, after a severe lec ture, and after Odum promised never again to carry a pistol, sentenced the man to pay a fine of SIOO or serve twelve months on the chaingang. The fine was paid by the firm for which Odum works. VISITING PHYSICIANS ENTERTAINED AT SMOKER. A most delightful evening was spent by the members of the Georgia Med ical Society and the surgeons of the Atlantic Coast Line at the De Soto last night, on which occasion the Med ical Society entertained the visitors with u smoker Interesting papers were read, and a general discussion of matters pertaining to the medical pro fession was entered Into.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY SIX MONTHS ENOUGH' MARRIED LIFE FOR HER. liixzle Coleman Alleges Hnsband Was Drunk anil Very Strenuous. Through Attorney George W. Owens, Lizzie Coleman yesterday filed suit for divorce from her husband, Jackson Coleman. According to the allegations of the petitioner six short months of married life, from October, 1903, to March, 1904, were enough for her and sufficient to drive all the poetry and romance out of it. She alleges that her husband was addicted to drink and during the times when he was filled with his favorite beverage became very strenuous. She claims he cursed her and abused her continually and that at last he threat ened to take her life. Then she was “forced to abandon him,’’ and ever since that time “has lived separate and alone.” Now she wants the court to relieve her of the marriage tie. She also asks that temporary alimony be awarded her and that the alleged erring hus band be made to pay the attorney fees Incident to her application for divorce. THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE.
