FORT SCREVEN TEAM UNAoLE
TO PLAY ACCOUNT OF INJURIES
GAMK WITH SAVANNAH YESTER
DAY CALLED OFF AT LAST MINUTE.
NO GAME HAS BEEN AR
RANGED BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
TEAM WILL PUT IN ALL SPARE
TIME IN PRACTICE.
Alvrli Dinappointment Exprriunl nf
the Failure of the Artillerymen to
Ikon Up— Im-ali Expected a Hard
Practice Game—Recent Clnalt of
Authorities Suggested ns Henson
fer Failnre of Tram to Conte to
the City—Practice Every Night
Next YVerk for the Savannah
Team.
At the twelfth hour the game of
football which was to have been played
between the Savannah team and the
eleven from Fort Screven was called off
yesterday, and there was a crowd of
disappointment enthusiasts in the
city.
A leter was received by Manager
Mclntire on opening his mail yester
day morning, from Lieut. Winslow,
athletic director at the fort, in which
it was explained that owing to the in
jury of several of the men the fort
team wiuld be unable to keep its en
gagement with Savannah.
A number of people who did not hear
of the game being called off went to
the park, and were disappointed. Much
unfavorable comment was heard of the
tardiness of the Fort Screven manage
ment in notifying the Savannah team
of their inability to play the game.
The suggestion was made that per
haps the recent clash between the mili
tary and civil authorities was largely
responsible for the failure of the fort
team to appear on the gridiron yester
day,
It is known that Col. Anderson was
incensed at the treatment to which
Corpl. Wagon was subjected on the
occasion of the Thanksgiving day
game. In his leter, however, Lieut.
Winslow mentioned the fact that Jones
and other members of the team were
not in fit physical condition to play the
game.
With Christmas so close at hand,
when the Jacksonville team comes
here for a return engagement, it has
been decided not to attempt another
game in the interim. Between now and
Christmas every available minute
will be put in hard practice, and Capt.
Cope expects to have the men in the
pink of condition when they have the
second try at the Jays.
Sale of seats for the Christmas game
has already commenced, and over a
hundred have already been reserved.
SEVENTY HORSESIJOW
WINTERING AT TRACK.
Recent Addition* Include I<"lne Trot
ter* and l'acers.
There are now quartered at the Sa
vannah Racing Association’s track
seventy trotting and running racers,
all of which will be kept here until
the spring.
The recent arrivals include a string
of trotters under the charge of George
W. Haight, one of the best known
trotting horse trainers in the South.
Mr. Haight has under his charge about
twenty fine trotters and pacers. These
are owned by different men in the
East, who have heard of the splendid
climate here for wintering horses.
Mr. Alex. Doyle, who has been tak
ing the circuit of fairs throughout
the South, has also brought in his
string of six runners and will keep
them there for the rest of the winter.
Mr. John Cheney, who was here last
year with twelve yearlings belonging
to Mr. Schulz, the millionaire trotting
horse owner of New York, is expect
ed in a few days with a string of four
teen youngsters.
Manager Joe Doyle said yesterday
that with the horses that are now
quartered at the track it is possible
to give as good a mixed meeting as is
seen anywhere in the country, and it
is probable that matinee races will be
arranged for the near future.

ARE THE STATES WHICH HAVE
OUTLAWED BONDS IN DANGER?
Gov. Terrell Receiving Letters Declaring Danger
in Proposed Arbitration Treaties.
ATlanta, Dec. 14. —Is there grave
danger to Georgia and other states
which have outlawed bonds issued as
the result of fraud, in the proposed
arbitration treaties with England,
France and other foreign Powers?
Gov. Terrell is in receipt of almost
daily communications from Philadel
phia, evidently emanating from certain
Irish societies, which declare that such
danger exists, an effort being made to
enlist the states which have outlawed
fraudulent securities in opposition to
these proposed treaties which will
come before Congress.
Just what the motive of the Irish
societies may be in its strenuous op
position to these treaties Is not made
to appear in the literature which has
come to Gov. Terrell. But the cry of
"wolf” Is raised, and it may be up
to those interested to see if there is
really any wolf to be feared.
The arbitration campaign is charac
terized as "a conspiracy to compel the
payment of Confederate bonds and re
adjusted state debts,” of which, as is
well known, Georgia has quite a num
ber outstanding, or at least of bonds
which have been declared void because
of the fraud connected with their Is
sue.
Here are some extracts from one of
the circulars which has Just come into
Gov. Terrell's hands:
“The claim made by Mr. Simon
Schafer of New York that the bonds
which North Carolina readjusted In
1878. ‘can be used to great advantage
by foreign governments,’ and the re
cent speculative suit against North
Carolina by South Dakota to recover
the principal and twenty-five years' in
terest of bonds donated to South Da
kota by Mr. Schafer and associates,
gives sinister significance to the at
tempts made in 1897 and the present
year to coerce the HcnAte Into ratifying
treaties or arbitration with foreign
governments.
"The controlling motive of the arbi
tration project from Its Inception has
been to annul or abrogate Article II
of the amendments to the constitution,

I RUENT DEFICIENCY HILL
llrnnght Out an Inquiry from Con
gressman Maddox.
Washington. Dec. 14. —During con
sideration of a provision in the ur
gent deficiency bill appropriating $12,-
500 for the payment of electoral mes
sengers from the several states to
Washington, Mr. Maddox of Georgia,
in the House to-day, provoked much
laughter by referring to the recent
election for President and inquired of
Mr. Hemenway if he really was "Se
rious about appropriating $12,500 to
bring the returns here.”
“Well,” said Mr. Hemenway, in the
midst of the merriment, this question
produced, “I think it is absolutely nec
essary.”
“You don't think $12,500 will pay for
that job do you?” propounded Mr.
Maddox.
Mr. Hemenway simply smiled as a
reply. The bill was passed.

and then, through an international
court, compel the Southern states, and
Michigan, to pay with interest the
bonds which they ’readjusted’ or repu
diated before and after the Civil War.
Minnesota may also be involved, as
that state forced a 50 per cent, read
justment of its bonds and coupons in
1881.
“The arbitration campaign begian In
the Northern states, after many
Southern states had completed their
readjustment programme, and after it
had become certain that the United
States courts would not and co<uld not
set aside the eleventh amendment to
the constitution. It reached its cli
max when the Olney-Pauncefote treaty
was sprung upon the country. • •
"The Venezuela convention marked a
radical change in the policy of the
United States government in relation
to owners of bonds. Prior to that
time, and, therefore, prior to the re
adjusting action of the Southern states,
the United States had denied the right
of governmental intervention on be
lialf of its citizens, who were share
holders in the securities or bonds of
foreign governments. It Justly held
that they had nq preferred claims over
the other holders. Great Britain act
ed upon the same principle. The Eng
lish Umpire dismissed the claims of our
citizens, who held bonds of New
Granada and Mexico, and the United
States Commissioner refused to enter
tain the claims of holders of bonds of
Florida, and the Republic of Texas.
“The Olney-Pauncefote Treaty em
phasized the change of policy by ex
pressly stipulating that ’’financial
claims' In which “a state was con
cerned' should be referred on masse
to the semi-foreign tribunals created
by the treaty, and In event of dis
agreement, be finally and Irrevocably
decided by the King of Sweden.
’’The exposure of these provisions
killed the treaty and Impressed Its
promoters with the necessity of fur
ther concealing their real object.
“We now therefore have The Hague
convention for the arbitration of ’the
interpretation of troalies' and ’legal
questions whether already existing, or
which may eventually arise.’ We also
have Secretary Hay’s score of propos
ed arbitration treaties with every Eu
ropean <-ountry, whose bankers have
boxes filled with readjusted or repu
diated Southern states bonds, readjust
ed Minnesota bonds, unpnld iron da of
Michigan, and the Republic of Texas,
repudiated Confederate bonds, and
doubtless many lurge rolls of Confeder
ate money,

SOCIETY BELLES,
WEDDING BELLS.
Gossip of Society Does Not
Always Tell What Goes On
Beneath the Surface.
S MARRIED WOMEN’S
SUFFERING.
The Truth About a Few Troubles of
Married Women’s Existence,
Here and Elsewhere.
Possibly it is because they have so
much to worry about that married
women suffer from so much sickness.
Perhaps, because they undertake
work which is too hard for them to
do.
But whatever the cause, ft’s a very
common story for a young woman,
who has hardly ever had a pain in her
life, to become, a year or two after the
marriage bells have ceased to ring, a
miserable wreck of an invalid.
Are you one of the victims?
If so, in common with so many
thousands of your sisters, the trouble
probably lies in a disarrangement of
your female functions.
And what suffering you have to en
dure!
Backache, as if your back would
break. Headache, as if your head
would split. And all manner of other
aches and pains, to say nothing of the
general feeling of sickness, discomfort
and weariness of body and mind,which
makes many women wish they were in
their graves.
But if you are one of these suffering
women, there is one thing I want to
tell you, and that is, that there is a
cure for your trouble.
It is Wine of Cardui.
Wine of Cardui will raise you from
your bed of sickness and make of you
a well woman.
If you are a victim of female trou
bles you cannot get well without it,
for no other medicine has the positive,
specific, curative effect on the female
organs that Wine of Cardui has.
It is a medicine prepared especially
for women, and on sick women it has
most wonderful tonic restorative re
sults.
Its action on the weak, worn-out,
exhausted feminine system is one of
the marvels of medicine.
But this can be explained by the
fact that its ingredients are selected
from the whole field of medicine, for
their special, specific action on the fe
male organs and functions.
In its tonic, strengthening action, on
all these weak and easily disarranged
organs, with which poor woman has
been burdened, it has proved itself the
most wonderful boon of the age to
over a million and a half sick women,
and if you will try it, be sure it will
do the same for you.
Waiter A. Sheridan, of 47 S. Arling
ton avert., Baltimore, Md„ writes:
“About four years ago my wife was
fast falling into a decline on account
of profuse menstruation. The periods
would last from seven to fourteen
days, then she would rest a few days
and then commence again. This had
continued for seven years, when I
wrote to you asking for advice. You
advised the Wine of Cardui treatment.
She used a great many bottles but it
cured her completely. She is now in
good health and has gained fifty
pounds in weight and has had no doc
tor during the whole four years.”
Wives, mothers, women, "here is re
lief and cure!
Wine of Cardui!,
Not a drop in S dose, of anything
injurious to the tenderest child.
It enn always be depended upon as a
safe, pleasant, strengthening medi
cine, that every woman should be sure
to take when sick.
At all druggists, SI.OO bottles.

TWO FIREMEN DIED
In the Big Fire That Raged In Min
neapolis.
Minneapolis, Minn.. Dec. 14.—Two
firemen were killed, three others pain
fully burned and property valued at
$830,000 was destroyed by a fire which
began late last night and was not un
der control until this morning.
The dead are:
Jacob F. Miller, insurance patrolman.
John Fellows, pipeman.
The principal losers were the Hale
Homestead Company, $150,000; Boutell
Bros., $275,000, and Powers’ department
store, $225,000. The total insurance is
$647,000.
The fire started in the photographic
supply house of O. H. Peck. Although
the building was heavily stocked with
chemicals, the fire fighters had little
doubt of their ability tor confine the
flames to that building and they at
tacked the fire on all sides.
All at once the wires that controll
ed the automatic sprinkler system In
the building turned a dull red, and in
another instant the whole interior of
the building burst into a blaze. The
sprinkler wires had in some way touch
ed a heavily charged electric light wire,
and the great volume of superheated
air mingled with gases from varnish
and baking wood was instantly set
aflame.
Three firemen who were with Pipe
man Fellows succeeded in making mi
raculous exits down the fire escapes
from the fifth floor, but Fellows, run
ning to the elevator shaft, slid down
the cables in the belief that the lower
part of the building had not yet be
gun to burn. He slid into a mass of
flames and was seen no more.
Jacob Miller stumbled into the ele
vator shaft and fell five floors to the
basement. Efforts were made to res
cue him. but in the rising flood of
water and the roaring furnace of flames
his body could not be located by his
comrades.
FOUND FOR’REPUBLICANS.
Re.nits of the Election in Colorado
May Be Changed.
Denver, Col., Dec. 14.—8 y deciding
to-day to throw out the vote of Pre
cinct Seven, Ward Eight, of this city,
in consequence of frauds committed
there at the late election, the Supreme
Court established a precedent that may
be applied to many other precincts in
which, it is alleged, the courts in
junction order was violated and there
by vitally affect the results of the late
election.
Should similar action be taken in
other cases to the extent demanded by
the Republican lawyers, it will result
in the election of the entire Republican
legislative ticket in this county and
give the Republicans control of both
branches of the Legislature. On the
face of the returns the Republicans
have a majority in the House and the
Democrats a majority in the Senate.
Another result of the exclusion of
a few precincts would be to put the
Republicans in possession of all the city
and county offices except the may
oralty, should the Supreme Court de
cide that the spring election was not
legal and that these offices were to
be filled at the November election.
The Democratic majorities ran from
700 to 2,000.
Should the entire vote of those city
wards over which the Supreme Court
assumed jurisdiction be disregarded,
Alva Adams, Democratic candidate for
Governor, would lose 18,845 votes and
Gov. James Peabody, Republican 8,-
541, a net loss of 10,304 for Adams,
but this alone would not result in
his defeat as his majority in the state
on the face of the returns 1° something
over 11,000.
CONTROL OF THE C. H. & D.
Hollln* * Cos. Declnre That They
Have Acquired It.
New York, Dec. 14.—H. B. Hollins &
Cos. announce that they have exercised
their option on the Cincinnati, Hamil
ton and Dayton road and have acquir
ed control of that company.
Hollins & Cos. will only say that in
purchasing the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton road, they are acting in
their own interests. No information as
to the terms of the transfer was ob
tainable.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton practically controls the Pere Mar
qette road and has joint ownership in
a number of smaller lines. For some
time it has been believed that the
property would be taken over bv the
Erie road. Only a few days ago, how
ever, Erie interests intimated that ne

FIFTEEN HOURS
AFLOAT ON WRECK
THE CREW OF THE EMITA
HAD A STORY OF HARDSHIP AND
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
The Barkentlne Sailed for Fall
River from Fernandina—Brought
Up on Diamond Shoal and Soon
Pounded to Pieces— I Those Aboard,
Including the Captain’s Wife,
Were in the Deck House and Re
mained There Until Picked Up by
a Clyde Liner.
Boston Dec. 14.—A story of hardship
and miraculous escape from death was
related by the crew of the New York
barkentine Emita, which was brought
to this port to-day by the Clyde Line
steamer New York. The Clyde liner
rescued the unfortunates last Sunday,
fifteen hours after they had been car
ried adrift on a fragment of their ves
sel.
The Emita, which left Fernandina
Dec. 7, with a cargo of lumber for Fall
River, struck on Diamond Shoal off
Cape Hatteras last Saturday night
during a heavy storm and was pound
ed to pieces by the furious seas with
in half an hour after she touched bot
tom, yet not a life was lost.
Capt. W. E. Reemie of M&chias, Me.,
his wife and crew of seven men were
In the vessel when it stranded.
The barkentine suddenly struck bot
tom with a terrific shock and brought
up on Diamond Shoal. In a few min
utes the vessel swung around and great
waves threatened to sweep all hands
from the deck.
The entire crew and the captain's
wife found shelter in the forward
house. In a few minutes the masts
were carried away and the bow of the
vessel began to go to pieces. Gaps in
the hull widened, and finally the crew
was swept away from the rest of the
wreck In the forward deck house, sup
ported by a portion of the main deck.
The little party drifted for twenty
miles, standing in more than a foot of
water in this uncertain craft. At last
the steward found some dry matches
and kindled a fire which attracted the
attention of the New York’s officers.
—The father of M. Casimir-Perler
called on Corot one day and found him
in the act of finishing a picture. “A
masterpiece!” exclaimed the visitor.
”1 must have it.” “It Is yours,”
promptly replied Corot, “If you will
agree to pay the butcher and baker
bills of my Illustrious but poor friend,
Jean Francois Millet.” Agreed,” said
the patron, well pleased. The bills
were presented to him, and they
amounted to nearly 36.000, neither
butcher nor baker having been paid
for twelve years.—New York Tribune.
—Stella—“Can she keep a secret?”
Bella—"No, but she can keep a

lie's sure to be taken for some strange
animal and shot.”—Brooklyn Life.
