V DBATH OF MILO S. FREEMAN AT
B THE SAVANNAH HOSPITAL.
It Occurred Suddenly While the Phy
sician* Were Holding; a Consulta
tion—Mr. Freeman’s Body to Be
Taken to Macon To-night—The
Hackman’s Story of the Fatal Ac
cident-One of the Boys Who
Threw the Firecrackers Under the
Horse Arrested and the Police on
the Track of the Other.
Mr. Milo S. Freeman, who was injured
B, on New Year’s night by being thrown
■fcihrown from a hack in whieh he was
died yesterday afternoon at the
jfflyavannah hospital. His condition was
jWmptttlng. The day before he 'seemed to
Mbe rational at times and every hope was
Mpjftertained for his recovery. Yesterday
morning' his symptoms changed and be-
F came rapidly worse. Death came sudden
ly, while the attending physicians were
holding a consultation.
Mr. Freeman was born in Macon June
31, 1835, and was named after his only
L maternal uncle. His father was Azel R.
Freeman, one of the first settlers of Ma-
V con. His early education was obtained
■ in his native city. He afterwards grad-
■ uated at the Georgia Military Academy
I in Marietta, an institution which was
i the pride of the state at that time. In
1855 he came to Savannah and entered
the then well-known house of Richard
son & Martin as confidential clerk. In
1858 he returned to;Macon and was a clerk
in the branch of tire Mechanics’ Bank of
Augusta.
Heaving the bant; Mr. Freeman entered
the calling with which he was to be
identified the remainder of his life, first
as a clerk in thel Southwestern railroad
and afterward as treasurer of the Macon
and Western ra|lr*>ad, which position he
held until the afiatvlgamatlon of that road
with the Central railroad. From 1890 to
1893 he was auditor of the Central rail
road and its branches with headquarters
in this city, anrj he held the same posi
tion on the Cha,ttanooga, Rome and Co
lumbus railroad, with offices at Rome, at
the time of his [death.
Mr. Freeman was a prominent Mason,
and was a member of St. Omar Command
ery Knights Templar, of Macon. His re
mains will be (taken to Macon to-night
for -interment in Rose Hill cemetery,
where his wife and other members of the
family are buriied. The funeral will take
place to-morrow afternoon. *
J. J. Simmons, the white hackman In
whose hack Mr. Freeman was riding
when the accident occurred, gave a Morn
ing News reporter an account of the acci
dent last night, together with Informa
tion which will probably lead to the cap
ture of the tß'o negro boys who threw the
firecrackers, which caused the horse to
run away.
Simmons said he took three gentlemen.
Mr. Freeman, Mr. James M. Carplan and
Mr. Guy Smith, in his hack at the Pu
> laskl house jubout 9:30 o'clock to drive them
to the Central depot. He went along
i Congress st feet to Jefferson and out Jef
' ferson to liberty. He noticed two ne
| gro boys standing on the corner of Jeffer
son street. As he turned into Liberty
street a par It of firecrackers was thrown
under his horse, which made a dash
across the street and toward the Cen
tral depot. At, the corner of Montgomery
street the hack struck the curbstone, and
I the harness breaking, the horse run off.
Mr. Caro Jan was sitting in front with
the driver and neither were unseated.
Blmmons |<i>oked around and to his sur
prise, he says, saw that the back seat
was empty. He looked back and saw the
forms of two men lying in the street.
Telling Mr. Carolan that he feared they
were padly hurt, he ran back to their
followed by Mr. Carolan.
* They found Mr. Smith bleeding from
wounds In the face. He had fallen on the
right-side ol* the hack, striking on his face
on the asp halt pavement. Mr. Freeman
had fallen o.a the left side of the hack and
bud struck h,ls head against the curbstone.
Simmons said the only explanation he
could give of the manner in which the
two gentlemen came to be hurt was that
when the horse started to run they at
tempted to Jump from the hack, and,
losing their balance, were thrown heav
ily to the ground. Had they not attempt
ed to jump from the hack they would have
escaped with out injury.
Shortly afl er the accident occurred a
negro known to Simmons oam« up and
told him that he saw the boys when they
threw the firecrackers, and seeing the
cbnsequences of the act attempted to
catch them. The boys were standing in
front, of Mr. Waring Russell’s house, at
Liberty and Jefferson streets. One of
them dashed Into the basement of the
tu>use.| The other dashed up a flight of
steps and escaped, The negro man gave
a description of the two boys, and said
that he thought both lived in the base
ment of Mr. Russell’s house. About two
hours after the accident Simmons was
coming along Liberty street when he
saw two boys standing on the sidewalk.
He approached arid entered Into conver
sation with them ion the subject of the
accident. Both stalled that they had seen
the accident and Isa|d further that they
lived In the hasemp’nt of Mr. Russell's house
Blmmods was convinced that these were
the two boys who had done the deviltry,
and asked them their names. One of the
boys said his na/ne was Henry Suitor,
and the other refused To give his name
Simmons reported; the matter to Police
man Connelly, on jiuty at the Central
railroad depot, who made a report of It
to the police barracks.
Defective Scully! started out last night
on a search for ihe boys. He found a
boy named Charlid White In the basement
of Mr. Russell’s House, who proved to be
one of the two wanted. White acknowl
edged that he was present when the fire
crackers were thrown, hut claimed that
they were thrown^ by the other boy White
was formerly employed as a driver by
Mr. Russell, but was recently discharged
The detectives are looking for the other
miaureant. While the two are deserving
of severe punishment, it is evident that
the only charge on which they can be i
held is violation x»f the fireworks ordi
nance, prohibiting the use of firework* !

A Jacksonville Man and His Wife
Create a Sensation.
There was a lively sensation m the
freight office at the Centrdl railroad for
a few minutes yesterday afternoon, in
which two men, a woman and two pistols
figured.
George Gates is a clerk In the general
freight office. A McLochlan is an elec
trician from Jacksonville, Fla., whose wife
has been visiting a* friend here for sev
eral months. During her stay she made
the acquaintance of, several young men,
among them Gates and a young man
named Malqne from Atlanta.
McLochlan heard rumors that were in
circulation, and last week he came to
Savannah, He saw Malone but made no
attack on him. He then gave his atten
tion tto Gates, w!hom he had heard had
also been a little too gay with his wife.
In company with Mrs. McLochlan, he
went to GateF office yesterday and told
him he was thebe for the purpose of clear
ing up some stories that had been circu
lated, in which Gat.es’ name was men
tioned in connection with his wife’s. It
*s not known exactly what passed, be
tween Gates and McLochlan, but Mc-
Lochlan drew two pistols from his pocket,
and handipg one to Gates offered to fight
it out on,the spot.
Gates refused the impromptu duel, and
McLochlan replied with an oath, “I’ll
shoot you anyhow.” He proceeded to put
his words into effect and threw up his
pistol, but Mrs. McLochlan seized his
arm before he could fire. Gates then
called a policeman and had McLochlan
arrested. He was locked up on the charge
°f attempting to shoot another.
The affair is a complicated one and is
mixed up with another case of the same
kind, iri. which another Jacksonville party
Is said to figure. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mc-
Lochlan have many friends in Jackson
ville, who regret their domestic troubles.
A NEVI COLONY FOR GEORGIA.
There Is going to be another colony of
western people established in Southern
Georgia.
Mr. J. O. Curry of Chicago, the land
agent for the colony recently established
in Wilcox and Irwin counties, at the head
of which is Mr. P. H. Fitzgerald of In
dianapolis, Ind., was In the city yester
day, stopping at the De Soto.
Mr. Curry has just received a letter
from a representative of a number of Chi
cago capitalists who propose organizing
and establishing as soon as possible an
other colony of western settlers some
where in the south, and they want him
to go to Chicago at once and take charge
of the movement on account of the suc
cess with which he has met In working
up the colony of old soldiers.
Mr. Curry would say nothing as to who
the men are that are backing the plan,
but he says they are all jnen of wealth,
and In a position to carry out anything
of the kind that they may undertake.
He will go to Chicago just as soon as he
can get his business in shape here, which
he thinks will be about a week,, for the
purpose of taking hold of this coloniza
tion plan, and making a success of it.
“Where would you establish such a col
ony as is proposed?” he was asked.
“Why, in Southern Georgia, of course,”
he replied. “4, have had some experience
In that line now, as I have looked over
the whole field, and 1 regard the condi
tions of climate and soil the best that
can be found In this section of the coun
try. I know of no other place I think as
good, considered from other standpoints.
It is near the coast, and a point
too, that will be of advantage to any
colony. I£s geography, soil and climate are
what determlfie the location, and I am sat
isfied that Southern Georgia affords the
best advantages in these respects.”
"Is this also to be a soldier’s colony?”
he was asked.
“Oh, no,” he replied. “It will consist
largely of farming people from the west.
It will be rather a colony consisting of
an earnest and honest agricultural class,
without regard to whether they are sol
diers or others. We will not strive to bulla
up a town particularly, as was the case
with Fitzgerald', In the present colony,
but will rather endeavor to establish a
progressive agricultural community. It
costs considerable to build up a town or
city, and the same amount invested tn
rural improvements would count for a
great deal more. Then, too, the people
settle too thickly In such places, but 1
think they are spreading out more In the
present colony and that the conditions
will settle themselves in the course of
time.
“How much of a qolohy will the new
one be?" was asked.
“There will be fully 10,000 people,’” he re
plied. “The letter states that the parties
interested want 100.000 acres for the pur
pose of founding this colony, and 1 have
no doubt they will secure as many colon
ists as that, or more. The organization
is backed by influential rich men and I
apprehend no trouble whatever tn arrang
ing this new movement. I will go to Chi
cago tn about a week and make arrange
ments for taking hold of the plan ”
. 3 n .*r ry there are already (about
4.000 of the colonists at and around Fitz
gerald, and they are coining in every day
It is confidently expected that there wili
lie at least 8,000 of them there by the be
ginning of the planting season.’ The al
lotments of land to the agricultural
classes are now being made, and they
are making preparations for permanent
living as rapidly as possible. These col
onists, he says, are a happy crowd of
people. They smile when thev read of
the snow storms and blizzards of the
northwest, which they left but a short
time ago to make their home in the sunny
south, and ere satisfied that they have
struck the right place. Thev are con
stantly writing their friends to come
south and join them or to join some sim
ilar movement which will bring them
into this section of the country. Mr
Curry thinks the movement wMI even
tually-result tn bringing many thousands
of people from the northwest to the south
and especially to Georgia.

FALK CLOTHING CO.
CATTLE MUST BE FENCED IN.
THE STOCK LAW GOES INTO EF-
FECT IN CHATHAM TO-DAY.
•
Straying Cattle May De Impounded
by Parties on Whose Lands They
Commit Depredations—The Cattle
Can Be Held Until the Damages Are
* Paid For—The County Drainage*
System Will Suffer no Longer From
This Annoyance—A General Idea of
the Law on the Subject.
The provisions of the fence law go into
effedt in Chatham county to-day. Ac
cording to the statute the law becomes
operative six months after it has been de
clared effective, by election.
The election at which the law was adopt
ed in this county took place July 3, 1895.
and the result was declared the day fol
lowing, making to-day the day for its op
erations to begin.
This means that the owners of all cat
tle which are allowed to run at large wili
be held responsible for all the damage
and depredations committed by such stray
ing cattle. By the election there ww
adopted as a part of the law of Chatham
county six sebiions Os, the code of 1882
—from 1449 to 1454, inclusive —which are
known ax tlje stock law.
By the law the boundary lines of each
lot or piece of* property are now de
clared a lawful fence. Section 1450 pro
vides that no horse, mule, cow or hog
or any animal used or fit either for food
or labor shall be permitted to run ai
large beyond the limits of the land be
longing to its owner.
The next section of the code on tins
subject provides that whenever any of
these classes of animals commit depre
dations on land belonging to other par
ties, such parties nave tne rignt to im
pound them and to retain them until the
owner shall maKe full reparation lor any
damages sustained, including an ecsts ot'
court as well as the costs to the party
impounding the anlmais tor teeu
ing. Tile next section proviues
that notice shall be given tne
owner of such animals within twenty
four hours, but it the owner be un
known the animals may be sold as estrays
within three days. Tne animals them
selves are made subject for any uamages
that may be, sustained through their ue
ing loose, that is ts the damages are not
paid witnin reasonable time judgment
can be secured against tham as prop
erty. Section 1154 of the code provides
for the. methods of ascertaining the ex
tent of the damages, the matter being
first brought up in a justice court irom
which there can oe an appeal in certain
cases. , x
The owner of straying animals is also
protected by a section which provides a
punishment for the illegal impounding cf
animals. No party is allowed to impound
animals tinder the mere pretext that they
have committed depredations, the penalty
in such cases being not greater ti an a
fine of SIOO or imprisonment for one
month.
In Chatham county there are several
classes o( property upon which such dep
redations may be committed. The great
est destruction by roam ng animals has
been to the ditches and drains of the
county, which have been trampled down
and tilled in by cattle constantly walk
ing over them. Owners of cattle which
allow them to go at large after to-day,
will be responsible also for all damage
of this kina to the county property, and
the county authorities, who worked hard
for the establishment of the law by elec
tion. will see to it that this damage
is stopped in so far as is possible.
The fact that the code provides that
the law shall go into effect six months
after it has been declared effective by
election Is looked on as sufficient notice
to* every one owning cattle or other ani
mals of the classes mentioned, so that
there will be no excuse for any violations
of the law. Cattle have been allowed to
run at large for the last two or three
days, but no doubt their owners have
arrangements by which they can keep
them within enclosures as soon as the
time arrives.
People who are not able to fence In
their property, but who make a living off
their small farms, wili be glad to know
that the law is effective and must be re
garded. But every taxpayer should be
equally as enthusiastic as it will no doubt
save many a dollar to the county formerly
R>ent in repairing drams and ditches,
which were trampled down and stopped up
by roaming cattle. The law is a good
one and now that it is in force the people
should see that it is carried out.
A MISTRIAIIn CONNOR’S CASE.
THE JI RY RELEASED AFTER
TWENTY-SEVEN MOIRS’ DE
LIBERATION.
A mistrial was declared In the case of
Patrick Connors at 9:30 o’clock last night,
and the jury was discharged. This result
was predicted the night before, though
it was not known precisely on what point
the jurfr would hang.
It is not known yet just how the jury
stood. It appears it entered into an !
agreement when it entered the jury room |
not to give out any indication of its
standing, and not even the deputy sheriffs
who were in charge of the court, knew
anything about the questions the jurors
were stuck on. A good many stories
about the Jury were in circulation during
the day. One of them was to the effect
that two were for murder outright, while
the others were for a recommendation to
the mercy of the court. Another was to
the effect that the jury stood five to seven
in favor of a verdict of voluntary man
slaughter. The jurors, however, were
very reticent about the matter.
No repprts of a favorable nature to the
defendant so far as his question of de
fense on the ground of self-defense were
heard. It was generally‘believed that he
would have been satisfied with a verdict
of manslaughter, though many of his
friends were around the court room in
hopes that they would hear a verdict ac
quitting him of the crime with which he
was charged. It was believed in the after
noon that the court would require the
jury to remain, and deliberate on the
question over Sunday,/but it was decided
last night to let the jury go as there
seemed to be no chance of any agreement.
The composition of the jury w'as viewed
in various lights, but all of them were
good jurors, and there it no doubt they
all gave the case proper consideration,
and voted according to what they thought
a true conception of it. This action or
the jury simply means that the trial of
the case will have to be postponed for
some time. The prosecution w’ould no
doubt liked to have seen it, settled one
way or another, but the counsel for the
defendant is not making any protest.
Connors, as was stated in yesterday’s
Morning News, killed Thomas Monroe, a
negro, in a quarrel in a barrom in the
old fort on Christmas day, 1894.
SINDBAD AND THE PORTER.
The Sailor Tells of the Man He Brib
ed to Hear His Stories.
Mr. Albert Stearns, author of “Chris and
the Wonderful Lamp,” begins a new Ara
bian Nights story brought up to sate
in the January St. Nicholas. It is called
“Sindbad, Smith & C 0.,” and in the open
ing chapter the great sailor reappears on
the scene. He has drunk of the Fountain
of Youth, which explains his survival to
the present day. The following is an ac
count of his quarrel with his original
auditor, Hindbad, the porter:
“All went well enough until the eighth
day. My eighth voyage was—well, it
was a hummer! and I was feeling in
good spirits at the prospect of having a
chance to tell it. Rut Hindbad came
straggling in with such a long face, that
one glance at it put me out of sorts.
‘What’s the matter?’ I asked him. ‘Mat
ter enough,’ he replied, surily. ‘Can I see
you alone a minute?’ I granted him a
private interview, and he at once started
in on a long prose poem beginning: ‘Lo,
how wretched am I!’ This was in accord
ance with one of our Arabian customs,
but as it was a custom that I never
thought much of anyway, and as the din
ner was getting cold, I interrupted him
at the end of the first line, saying: ‘Cut
it short, Hindbad, and get down to busi
ness. What can I do for you?’ ‘Sindbad,
he said, taken abaQk by my abruptness,
‘has it never struck you that a hundred
sequims is a pretty slim fee for listen
ing to the story of one of your voyages?'
Well, my boy, I was never so astonished
in my life. ‘What do you mean?’ I gasped.
‘I mean just this.’, be replied. “I must
have a hundred and fifty sequims aftei
ithis, and the yarns must be cut down
one-halfj Does that go?’ Now,’ said
Sindbad, relighting his cigar, which In
his excitement he had allowed to go out,
‘did you every hear Os anything like that?"
Tom murmured that he never bad, and
asked his companion what reply he made
to the ungrateful Hindbad.
“I simply told him,” replied Sindbad,
“that I could not for a moment entertain
his proposal: that I'considered a hundred
sequins a fair price, and that I could
get dozens of the best people in Bagdad
to listen to my etory of my voyages for
half the money.* ‘You’d better get ’em,
then,’ was his reply. ‘All right; I will,-
I said. Then he began to weaken. ‘Well,"
he Said, ‘maybe w’e can come to terms,
Sindbad. It isnlt that I don’t like youri
stories, because I’db f —this notwithstand
ing the fact that he At ail gone to sleep on
the previous evening at the rfibst interest
ing place in my seVenth voyage—where
the elephant tore up, by the roots the
tree upon which I was roosted; you re
member that?”
“Yes, indeed!’.’ said Tom, breathlessly.
“Well, that’s just,, the point at which
that clod fell asleep, and it took me five
minutes to awaken' him/ But, as I was
saying, he insisted he was so fond of my
stories that if he cpuld have his way
he’d give up his business as porter and
listen to my account of my voyage all
day, at the uniform rate of one hundred
sequins per voyage. T must, however,
think of my family,’ he said; ‘and for
their sake I am compelled to insist upon
a hundred and fifty. You see how I am
placed, don’t you?’ Well. J absolutely re
fused to pay him more than mv regular
rate. Then he saidi “We won’t quar
rel about a trifle, Sindbad, old man. Make
it a hundred sequins, and I’ll be here reg
ularly every evening. 1 don’t feel as if
I could get along without your deeply in
teresting stories.’ This might have melt
ed me if I hadn’t’happened to catch him
in the act of winking at a black slave
of mine who was standing at the other
end Os the room. That settled it; I had
him ejected from the house at once, and
I’ve never been able to bear the sight
of a porter since.”
"Did he ever come back, sit*?” asked
Tom.
"Oh, yes, several timer,; but I wouldn't
see him. The last time he called he sent
up a note, in which he stated that on ac
count of the hard times and the fierce
competition against which he had to
contend, he was willing to give me three
evenings a week for fifty sequins; or the
whole seven, and a matinee of I insisted
for a hundred. But I paid no attention
to hie communication, and that was the
last I heard of him for a number of years
in fact, I had forgotten all about him
when the "Arabian Nighfs’ came out
and, to my amazement, T round my first
seven voyages among the contents. The i
book was edited, compiled, and partly i
written by an enterprising, though un
scrupulous. young journalist of Bagdad I
—at least, we’d call him a journalist in I
these days—and he had bought Hindbad’s
garbled story of my voyages for five se
quins. Think of that! Now do sou won
der that the very mention of that man
Hindbad s name engages me?”
MR. COMER BACK FROM NEW YORK.
The Central Expected to Be Perma
nently Organized Within Two
Weeks.
Receiver H. M. Comer of the Central
railroad returned from New York city
yesterday afternoon. He has been there I
for the last week or ten days on business
in connection with the property which
has recently passed irfto the hands of the
new company.
There was somewhat of a gathering of
railroad men and railroad lawyers at the
De Soto-last night, but It appeared to be
an accidental one. Receiver R. J. Lowry
of the Savannah and Western railroad
was there, and also Judge H. B. Tomp
kins, whb has been prominently connect
ed with this litigation. Judge Tompkins
came over from Charleston in the after
noon and he and Capt. Lowry went un to
Atlanta last night.
Receiver Comer says it is probable the
permanent organization of the new com
pany will take place within the next two
weeks This means also that the receiver
ship of the Central will probably be dis
solved by the court within that time, ail
the assets of the old company turned into
the new one, and all the liabilities of the
receivers assumed by the new Central of
Georgia Railway Company.
The entire system has practically been
consolidated, with the exception of some
of the outside properties not covered by
the general mortgages, and the Mobile i
and Girard railroad, the sale of which
5, as no ! yet beell confirmed by the court
’« le of 811 other Properties connected
with the system have been .confirmed and

New York, Jan. 4.—The total visible
supply of cotton for the world is 4,093,920
bales, of which 3.722,720 bales are Ameri
can; against 4.881,672 bales, and 4,555,472
bales respectively last year. Receipts of
cotton for the past week at all interior
towns were 77,047 bales. Receipts from the
plantations were 163,165 bales. Crop in
sight, 5,000,563 bales.
New York, Jan. 4.—Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: "The first days of the
new year have brought small encourage
ment to the friends of cotton. The sup
port which Liverpool has lately given to
the market has collapsed and the buying
power at the moment seems to be limited
to the demand to cover shorts. March
to-day opened at 8.09 c, slowly sagged to
8.03 c and closed at 8.04 c bid, with the tone
quiet and steady. The deplorable mess
into which congress has allowed the na
tional finances to drift and the result
ing loss of confidence in commercial cir
cles, seem to have paralyzed the specu
lative demand for cotton and a feeling
of grave uncertainty prevails, whether
present values can be maintained. This
is altogether irrespective of receipts and
the ordinary market influences. Os
course, it may happen that the whole sit
uation w’ill suddenly be changed, either
for the better or worse, but meantime the
general disposition is to keep close to
share and to make no new engagement
to Liverpool and Manchester. However
cotton is the equivalent of | gold, and
John Bull’s ideas about the value of the
staple are likely to be governed rather
by prospective supply and demand than
by any derangement in the business or
financial affairs of the United States. For
this reason, we think, the price of cotton
for the next few weeks wilt be ruled al
most exclusively by English markets.”
Mclntyre & Wardwell’s cotton letter, by
private wire, to T. F. Johnson, broker
Provident Building:
"New York, Jan. 4.—lt was still a small
market, and some decline in Liverpool,
rather liberal receipts at the ports, and
a little long liquidation, were sufficient
to cause an early decline of 7 points, after
which there was a slight recovery. leaving
the net decline 5 points. The tone at the
close was quiet and steady. Liverpool de
clined l-32d on the spot, with sales of
10,000 bales, which was quite a good busi
ness for Saturday; futures there declined
2 points and closed quiet and steady. New
Orleans fell 9 points, and then regained
2 points. Spot cotton here was easy, but
without quotable change; the sales were
95 for spinning. The increased movement
is doubtless due to foreign buying at the
south; on the other hand the interior re
ceipts were light. A New Orleans dis
patch says: ‘The Vicksburg boat suc
ceeded in scraping up 400 bales all the way
between Vicksburg and New Orleans?
Some advices received to-day report a de
pletion of supplies at widely scattered
points in Texas, pointing to a very small
crop for the state, or less than some of
the estimates by the bulls themselves,
lhe Liverpool market was certainly not
very bearish, in fact, it was better than
expected, but the port arrivals being
larger than anticipated, there was more
or less long liquidation, with a resultant
moderate decline. We rega.rd the in
crease in receipts as temj/orary, /and
therefore adhere to the opinion that Cot
ton should be bought on downward re
actions. ' 7
